Community Service
Student Athletes, Coaches and Administers working together to improve their campuses and communities in a spirit of giving.
AMCC student-athletes continue to be active in their communities with numerous volunteer efforts in the month of October.
For the fourth year in a row,
Pitt-Greensburg women's basketball players and coaches
headed to Greensburg Wal-Mart to participate in "Project Bundle Up." Team members joined Captain Pamela Rhodes of the Greensburg Salvation Army to help take children and senior citizen on personal shopping sprees, explain vouchers to families, and help cashiers bag purchases. "Project Bundle-Up" is a program that serves needy and disabled senior citizens and disadvantaged children, ranging from infant to teens. It provides those in need with winter outwear. Eligibility for the program is based on economic need, and vouchers are used to obtain winter coats, hats, gloves, scarves, and boots for participants.
Promoting the message that early detection of breast cancer is the best road to a
Mount Aloysius College
joined forces with Windber Medical Center's Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center. The public was invited to the "Pink Out" Volleyball game on Wednesday, October 16th against Franciscan University. "This is always a big event for us and draws a big crowd," said sophomore volleyball player Megan Ruddock. "It is a great atmosphere to play in. There are a lot of people we know that were affected by breast cancer; so it's great to be able to raise awareness." More than $2,600 was raised and donated to the Windber Medical Center's Joyce Murtha Breast Care Center.
On Sunday October 20th the
La Roche College cross country team
volunteered to
participate in a 5k run called "Propel for Peace," held at the Waterfront. The 5k run had two different goals: one was to raise money for a community out-reach educational campaign to reduce gun-related violence; the other goal was to raise funds to sponsor a Rwanda student to come to the U.S. to study at the high school level for one year. The "Propel for Peace" 5k was organized by Propel Charter Schools, which focus on teaching elementary, middle and high school students in inner city neighborhoods and economically depressed areas of greater Pittsburgh.
Penn State Altoona's Student-Athlete Advisory Council
presented a donation check to
the Special Olympics of Blair County on October 22. The money was raised from efforts during the 2012-2013 school year, which included the annual Staff/Faculty vs. Student-Athletes basketball game and the first-ever Penn State Altoona Zumba concert.
Mount Aloysius College softball team
spent the day Saturday, October 26th helping
out by cleaning cages and caring for animals at the Altoona, PA Humane Society. "This was an eye opening experience to me seeing how the animals were cared for and how much these animals needed some love," said freshman Alex Teeter. "People need to remember that a pet is a family member and needs to be taken care of as such," explained head coach Carl Teeter.
The fall season continues to be a busy one for AMCC student-athletes involved in community service.
D'Youville College
student-athletes participated in a Community Clean-Up Day last
weekend. This joint effort was led by Campus Ministry and the Freshman Focus class. The Spartan student-athletes raked leaves, weeded, and gardened at local churches. Others hit the streets of surrounding neighborhoods to clean up trash. A few groups of students were asked to pass out flyers throughout the neighborhood to spread the word about monthly meetings that are held to help assist in keeping the area safe and clean for its residents and those traveling through it.
Mount Aloysius College men's basketball team
were also out and about last weekend, volunteering at the Ebensburg Potato Festival. Fifteen members of the team donated 2 1/2 hours of service setting up booths and tents, and hanging signage for the annual community festival, which raises money for worthy community projects like the Ebensburg Young Peoples Center.
Nearly 100
student-athletes and coaches from five different Panther teams
partnered with Special Olympics at the Bradford bowling alley on Sunday afternoon. Each team had their own lane for the event, and the participants were divided evenly so that no more than a few Olympians were matched with each Pitt-Bradford group. The event marked the third year in a row the Pitt-Bradford athletic department has participated in this special day.
Pitt-Bradford women's basketball
team took part in the United Way Day of Action this past Saturday, in a morning filled with assisting the city of Bradford in its charity event.
The team began the day by digging up trees for the Salvation Army at a few different locations around town. The players then took part in the "Stuff the Truck" event at Tops Friendly Market. Players gathered with signs in front of the store to hand to customers as they went inside to shop. On the sign was a list of items that could be purchased to assist in filling the truck with canned goods for the needy. The last events that took place were painting and gardening at Grace Lutheran Church. Players painted classrooms inside the building as well as parts of the outside. A handful of players were outside digging up weeds and planting to assist the church in sprucing up their garden.
Over the course of this past week, all
students had the opportunity to participate in numerous events that comprised "Safety Week". One of these events,
National RAINN Day, took place on Thursday, September 26. RAINN Day, hosted by RAINN, the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization, is seen as a day of action to raise awareness and educate students about sexual violence on college campuses. Campuses that participate are asked to design a program for their campus community that will motivate their students and staff to take a stand against sexual violence. The ultimate goal of the program is to empower college students to educate their peers about risk reduction and recovery resources on their own campus. Pitt-Greensburg students were asked to decorate umbrellas showing their support for RAINN and their decision to take a stand against sexual violence. The
women's basketball team
created their own umbrella of support.
Members of
Penn State Altoona's Student-Athlete Advisory Council
recently lent their helping hands to the Altoona Area School District's Mountain Lion Backpack Program. The
program is designed to provide food to elementary school children in the Altoona area who otherwise may not have access to proper nutrition outside of school. The nonprofit puts "kids at the front of the line for receiving the food they need while not in school -- food that equips them to come to school Monday morning physically and mentally prepared to learn."
Every Friday from October to May, the Mountain Lion Backpack Program provides two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners, two drinks, and two snacks to local children. These nutritious, non-perishable, kid-friendly food items are packed in a backpack for the weekend and delivered to deserving elementary school children in the AASD for a cost of about $3 per week.
Hilbert College
student-athletes were also very busy making a difference in their community.
men's soccer team
participated in the Dash for Diversity Walk this past Sunday, September 22. The walk is a fundraising event sponsored by the National Federation for Just Communities of Western New York. All proceeds go to the NFJC, which uses funds towards programming for such issues as community-building, anti-bullying, and youth leadership. Hawks men's soccer represented the school well, winning an award as the largest group from a single organization participating in this year's event.
At the Hilbert Criminal Justice Department hosted its annual Adopt-A-Highway clean-up
party Saturday, September 28th, students, faculty and staff all joined in the effort to pick up trash and remove large items from the roadway leading up to Hilbert's campus on South Park Avenue in Hamburg. A few of the
men's basketball team
moved their inside, morning lifting routine to outside and grabbed some fresh air while helping a good cause.
On Sunday September 29, the Hawks'
women's soccer team
participated in the Out of the Darkness Walk held in the Genesee Valley Park (Rochester, NY) in an effort to support and help the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. The squad raised around $500 in an effort to combat a public health issue that is close to the team's heart, in honor of a team member who recently lost a family member to suicide.
D'Youville College
Penn St. Altoona
student-athletes have been busy with community service activities already this fall.
The D'Youville cross country team was up at 6am on Labor Day Monday to do traffic
control for the "Fleet Feet 15K" in Buffalo. The event benefits kids in the Buffalo public schools by giving them a pair of running shoes to train and compete.
In Altoona, the Lions' Student-Athlete Advisory Council is continuing its partnership with the Special Olympics of Blair County. The SAAC's latest effort came in participating with the Special Olympians' bocce and volleyball practices, which included freshman
basketball player Markel McCloud
and junior Joel Redfoot
. Representatives from the school's SAAC will volunteer at numerous dates with the SO athletes throughout the 2013-2014 school year, as well as lend their time to other causes and volunteer opportunities.
Returning to campus for preseason camp, the
Mount Aloysius College
volleyball and soccer teams wasted no time in finding ways to re-connect with the community.
The women's volleyball team held a family game night at New Day Inc. for families in the
community of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. New Day is a Christian ministry to at-risk children, youth, and families located in western and central Pennsylvania. The team led games and activities for the families that attended as well as served them dinner. "It was a great experience being able to spend time and get to know the people who came to the event," said freshman setter Katie Reed. "It was a lot of fun and we made some really good memories."
The men's and women's soccer programs coached a clinic for local AYSO soccer players. Twenty-five girls and boys ages 4-9 attended the clinic where they were buddied with two college players each.
After stretching, working on passing, shooting and practicing their defense, both the girls group and boys group had a chance to play fun games. Senior men's captain Ryan Hills said of the experience, "There's no better way to get to know new teammates than to donate some time putting smiles on the faces of little kids." Junior women's captain Elizabeth Josephson agreed. "Not only was this great team building for two programs looking to make playoffs in conference this year, but I think everyone truly enjoyed the clinic, kids and college players alike."
Head Coach Tyler Sheikh plans to put on more clinics in the future. "For our first clinic I'd call it a resounding success," he said. "Parents had a chance to get their kids outside. The little ones learned some new things, but more than anything they had a lot of fun. Even better, I got to see my players interact and serve as role models."

For the good of the game, USC needs to fire Michael Cooper
It's not that Michael Cooper is the worst coach in the country – or even in the Pac-12 – but for the good of the game, he's got to go.
Cooper coaches at USC, in the heart of the largest metropolitan area in the country, and has done a very poor job with the Women of Troy. Of course, he's done a poor job wherever he's been, except when he had Lisa Leslie, DeLisha Milton-Jones and a host of stars with the Los Angeles Sparks.
But Cooper's playing career with the Lakers, his success with the Sparks and his relative fame led to his hire at USC, and though he can cry about injuries, his teams consistently underachieve.
Then again, he's far from the only mediocre coach in the country, so why pick on him? What does it really matter if USC is a .500 program?
To USC, maybe not much, but to the world of women's basketball a great deal – and here's why.
It's no secret that women's basketball (at all levels) is a regional sport – that is, there are certain regions, or pockets, where the game matters. The WNBA is a classic example, as in WNBA cities, it's a relatively big deal; but elsewhere, it's all but invisible.
Interest in the women's college game varies wildly from conference to conference and from school to school, and the history of the sport makes it clear that overall growth isn't going to come from the top down, but rather from the bottom up. In other words, growing the game means steadily adding more pockets of interest in different areas of the country until, hopefully, a tipping point is reached that lifts the sport above other niche sports such as ice hockey or volleyball.
So what two regions are the most important in the country? Clearly, New York City and Los Angeles, and though both have pro teams, neither area has ever shown much interest in the college game. Now, with the demise of the Big East, and conference confusion everywhere on the East Coast, it seems harder than ever to start a women's basketball fire in NYC, but L.A. is a different story.
First, the Pac-12 is about as stable as a conference can be these days, and it also has a brand-new network to get kids on TV. Second, though Stanford dominates (and Cal is very good this year), it's possible to rise to the top fairly quickly. And third, the Southern California talent pool is as deep as any in the country.
That last point is key, because in the past, the elite talent hasn't stuck around. Diana Taurasi is the prime example, but the list is long of SoCal prep stars who have spurned not only USC and UCLA, but the entire Pac-12, to head east. That talent drain has made it difficult for the Pac-12 to gain any traction, either in the rankings or in ticket sales, and it all starts in Los Angeles.
Obviously, if USC and UCLA are both very strong in women's basketball, media coverage and fan interest will escalate, and it won't take long for Southern California to become another one of those regions where women's basketball matters. If USC and UCLA are both weak, which has been true for a quarter of a century, women's basketball withers on the vine in the largest city in the country.
Right now, UCLA is pushing Cal and Stanford in the Pac-12, and though the Bruins are a couple years away, it won't take Close too many good recruiting years – especially if she starts keeping the SoCal talent home – to challenge both.
But USC, under the indifferent leadership of Cooper, lags behind, and as long as he's the head coach, there's no reason to expect anything different. His track record is clear, and the Women of Troy simply aren't going to get any better as long as he's in charge.
Of course, a lot of schools don't really care how good their women's basketball program is, and in the past, USC has been one of them. If that pattern continues, Cooper will continue to struggle, but he'll win enough games to keep his job, but not enough to spark a regional fire for women's basketball.
But if the USC administration ups the ante just a little, not only can they get some fans into the Galen Center and generate a little revenue, they can also strike a big blow for the Pac-12 and women's basketball overall. If Cooper is fired, and replaced by someone of the caliber of Close or Lindsay Gottleib or Kevin McGuff, the sky's the limit for the Women of Troy, because the talent is right there in their backyard.
Which is why Cooper must go – and sooner rather than later.

Business and shoppers feel impact of Kelowna construction
It's been replaced by piles of dirt and pipe, which is part of a 14-million dollar investment to help rejuvenate the downtown, enhance people's experiences and replace aging utilities and streetfronts.
Crews are widening sidewalks, adding new trees and sprucing up the image of the area.
But what kind of impact is all of this work having on businesses and people who work in or visit Kelowna's downtown area?
The CBC's Liz Hostland took a stroll on Bernard to ask shoppers and business owners what they think about another week of work!

I wrote my fairy tale with the intention of focusing on the wolf. And what he did to me. I minimized my experience by calling him a wolf, and calling myself a little girl who cried.I should have called him a man. A man who forged ahead even if I said no. A man who forged ahead even if I said please, or stop. A man who ignored my silent fear, and desperation. A man who thankgod is no longer in my life since that fateful night.
I minimized my experience because my blog is far too public to be blunt about some stuff. I minimized my experience because no matter how hard I try, I still feel shame. No matter how hard I try, I still feel entirely responsible for what happened. I blame myself. I'm ashamed of what happened, and yet, yes I really do blame myself.
Out of shame I waited two days before contacting the police. Out of shame I did not go see them in person. Out of shame I called. From a pay-phone. After telling the purpose of my call, they handed the phone to a male police officer.
He made it very clear, after I explained my story, that it was my fault.
I blame myself.
I didn't want to put it out there. I didn't want to bear the victim label. I refuse to wear that label. I choose happiness. I choose it out of a sense of responsibility for myself. And for my mother. She did not make me to waste my life away.
I still blame myself.
But I honor my mother by loving myself, and being happy. It's mother's day this weekend. How do you honor the woman who made you?

Dear Prudie,
Over the weekend, during a heated argument with my 15-year-old daughter, I found out that she and her boyfriend of a year have recently started having sex. I had suspected this, and, to her credit, when I asked she said yes without hesitation. I spent many years talking with her about choices and trying to develop an open relationship. We are seeing her doctor to discuss birth control and talk about reproductive health. On paper, I've done all the right things. But I am devastated! I feel pained that she didn't come to me first, sad that she made this choice so young, and afraid that something horrible will happen. I'm sure this is a normal reaction but how can I move on? How do I make her understand that even though I know she is having sex, and even though I have taken her to see a doctor, that I'm not OK with her having sex? What discussion is appropriate for her dad and me to have with the boyfriend? Clearly lying in bed weeping is not the answer.
—Weepy Mom
Dear Weepy,
Parenthood requires the ability to accept the necessary and bittersweet truth that if you're doing the right things your child will eventually shed her innocence and need you less. I understand, Mom, that you weren't ready for your 15-year-old to be shedding her clothes and getting it on with her little pisher of a boyfriend. It's true that according to the Guttmacher Institute, she's younger than average for first intercourse—the institute says 16 percent of teens that age are sexually active. But by the time they are 17 years old almost half of teens have had intercourse. So dry your eyes and accept that in this arena your daughter is precocious. She is having sex with someone she cares about, and vice versa. There are so many lousy ways to lose your virginity—think of the drunken party in the basement—that it is a good thing she decided to do it in the context of a relationship. You are right that now she needs a safe and reliable form of birth control. She also needs to be able to talk privately with a gynecologist who can discuss pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and other consequences of becoming sexually active, so good for you for setting this up. As for your fears that something horrible will happen, being a parent means living with that fear but not letting it disable you. There's no reason to think her losing her virginity will start a cascade of disaster.
You ask what you and your husband should say to the boyfriend. I think you need to stick to things like, "Hi, Tyler, how's school?" and, "Are you playing basketball again this season?" Sure, initiating a discussion with him about the fact that he's having sex with your daughter might terrify and (temporarily) wilt him. But I don't see anything good coming of it except awkwardness and a sense of violation on the part of your daughter. I agree with you that it would have been better had she waited to start this phase of life. But she didn't, and your weekend weeping in bed made clear that you disapprove. You will only alienate her if you can't come to terms with her decision and treat her with respect. You move on by accepting that you have only a few more years of your little girl living under your roof (you hope). Tell her you appreciate her being honest with you, and that even if you don't always agree with her decisions, you will always be there to love and support her.
Dear Prudie,
My 32-year-old boyfriend is a great guy—cute, funny, smart, and loving. However, he is unhappy because he hasn't achieved success in his field. It's a hyper-competitive industry, known as "the industry" around here, and he works in a retail job he hates in order to make a living. A guy he went to school with has achieved massive success due to a project he created while in school (my boyfriend helped him perfect it in class, but they were never close). Now whenever that guy's name comes up, or he achieves more success, it sends my boyfriend into a downward spiral of depression. It breaks my heart to see him unhappy like this. I can't believe how much power he lets this successful guy have over him (the classmate hasn't responded to my boyfriend's emails for years). I honestly don't know if he will ever make it in this industry. He will almost certainly never make it the way his schoolmate did. How can I help him to help himself accept this and find happiness anyway? I am also trying to break into the same industry, with somewhat more success than my boyfriend is having, but seeing my schoolmates and peers make it just doesn't affect me the same way.
—Heart Aching for Him
Dear Heart,
I'm assuming the industry is entertainment and apparently your boyfriend has been fruitlessly trying to get a toehold for about a decade. So I have some news: He's not going to make it in show business. I know that you can point to an endless number of people who've had breakaway success after years of failure. But they are an infinitesimal percentage of show biz strivers. Far more common is relentless failure, but no one wants to tell that story. Also common are people who have had some degree of success, which then dries up as they age (and in Hollywood, by your 40s you're considered old). So you have a thwarted guy stewing in bitterness about his lot, hating the job he has, and having no real prospect this will change. You cannot make this better. What you can do is help him face reality. He needs to take a hard look at a career he would find satisfying and for which there are employment opportunities. If that's not retail, he needs to get out, maybe get some education or training, and retool himself. If he won't, in another 10 years he will be that hostile guy behind the counter at the mall obsessing over people with half his talent and a thousand times his money.
Dear Prudie,
I am a veteran public school teacher at a very needy school. I work in a small group setting with students who have academic trouble. I love my job and I love my students. However, I find myself having a very hard time enjoying the holiday season knowing the dire living situations that some of my kids are in. I report to authorities what is actionable. I buy snacks and coats when I can, and have even bought alarm clocks for kids whose parents aren't getting them up to come to school. My school has some good programs to help fill the gaps. But when I am buying groceries or Christmas presents, I think, "How is it that some of my kids have food and presents and so many others at my school will be spending Thanksgiving break just waiting for school to open back up so they can have two meals a day and a safe place to be?" With SNAP benefits being cut, so many more of our school families are struggling. My husband is very supportive and never fusses at me for the things I buy for students, but he does encourage me to let go of the worries while I am at home. Do you have any advice?
—A Teacher
Dear Teacher,
Thank you for this reminder of what the spirit of the holiday season is really all about, and how grateful so many of us should be for simply knowing there will a warm bed tonight and food tomorrow. Your devotion is admirable, and so is your ability to make a difference in such an individual way. You should find solace that day in, day out, year in, year out, you are working to heal the world. But you have to keep in mind that you are like a doctor who treats the sickest patients. Yes, you should bring compassion to your task, but you can't do your job to the best of your ability if you're overwhelmed with the pain of the people you're helping. You have to be able to put a limit on your worries so that you can recharge. You are also carrying too much of this burden alone. You can't be the main community resource for these kids. There must be organizations that work to provide coats, food, and Christmas presents, to which you can pass along the names of your pupils. Enlist some of the school administrators to help make this happen. The work you do with your students can help them make better lives for themselves. So it's essential for you, and them, that you don't get burned out.

Scottish Labour unveils industrial strategy
Today, Kezia Dugdale, Jackie Baillie, and Richard Leonard launched our industrial strategy at Leonardo Airborne and Space Systems.
It is a radical blueprint for placing Scotland at the forefront of the fourth industrial revolution.
And a radical plan is needed.
NEW: Scottish Labour has unveiled an industrial strategy for Scotland. Read it here: https://t.co/lVHzZRvgxY pic.twitter.com/eMfrWreOCe— Scottish Labour (@scottishlabour) 6 July 2017
Currently, our economy is being neglected by a Scottish government more interested in running a referendum campaign and a UK government driven by a hard Brexit, no matter how damaging to our economy that will be.
It is an economy with more and more people in insecure and low paid work.
A Labour government would change that.
Our plan to increase the national living wage to £10 per hour and abolish zero hour contracts will help end the blight of a low wage economy.
We would increase investment in education combatting the skills shortage that we face, particularly in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects.
Our cities need a specific representative at the heart of government, so we would create a dedicated Minister for Cities, as well as an Innovation Minister.
And we would consult with business to look at ending the UK opt-out of the EU working time directive, which would limit the number of hours any employee could work in a given week to 48. There are currently 250,000 people in Scotland working over that each week who would benefit from this change, including our hard-working NHS staff.
This industrial strategy constitutes a radical plan to prepare Scotland for the future.
A future only Labour is prepared for, by creating an economy that works for the many, not the few.

New Music – Flo Morrissey, Rabbit, Rage On Gold
New acts from London and Brisbane for you to check out
Here are the latest New Music selections from the On The Record column in tomorrow's edition of The Ticket. Please feel free to share tips below or check out all past New Music selections here.
You can hear why the Glassnote label have taken an interest when you check out "Show Me" and "If You Can't Love This All Goes Away" from the young London-based singer-songwriter with an Irish background. Formerly operating as 9mary, Morrissey comes with one of those vintage, evocative voices to remind you of Karen Dalton, Evie Sands or Lana Del Rey.
Future anthems to go from Brisbane trio Rabbit who've got their eyes firmly on the indie crown. We like the gnarly pop appeal and brilliant melodic heft of tunes like "Treehouse Kings" and "Shadows Make Us Freeze" from their "Did We?" debut EP.
We don't know if London's Rage On Gold crew have more tunes like "Kick Flips" in their arsenal but this will do for starters. A pop hit with the right measures of attitude and sass at its back, "Kick Flips" sounds tailor-made for late summer/early autumn radio domination.

Dutch PM Mark Rutte gifts a bicycle to Narendra ModiPrime Minister Narendra Modi has received an unusual gift -- a bicycle -- from his Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte after the two leaders met here.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was in the Netherlands yesterday, held talks with his Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte on various issues. The two leaders are known to promote clean energy and are at the forefront in the fight against climate change. On his one-day stay in the European nation, the Indian Prime Minister recived an unusual gift -- a bicycle -- from Rutte after the two leaders met here.
Modi shared two pictures on his twitter account shows him sitting and smiling on the Dutch-made bicycle.
"Thank you @MinPres @markrutte for the bicycle," Modi tweeted today, soon after his return from the Netherlands where he held talks with the Dutch prime minister on global issues like counter-terrorism and climate change.
While in one picture, Modi is sitting on the bicycle with Rutte standing beside him, another picture shows Indian PM holding the handle of the bicycle and posing for shutterbugs.
Rutte had praised India for its commitment to renewal energy and to the Paris climate agreement.
He had praised Modi for announcing major sustainable initiatives like 'Clean India' and 'Make in India'.
Rutte, 50, usually cycles to work.
In the Netherlands, cycling is a way of life. In fact, with 18 million bicycles and just 16 million Dutch inhabitants, there are more bicycles than people, according to the invest in Holland website. However, it is highly unlikely that Modi will ever be able to ride the gifted bicycle in Delhi or any other Indian city.
In a special gesture, Rutt had yesterday tweeted in both Hindi and Dutch languages welcoming Modi and said he was keen to meet him at a time when the two countries are celebrating 70 years of the establishment of Indo-Dutch diplomatic relations.
Modi returned to New Delhi this morning after concluding a three-nation tour to Portugal, the US and the Netherlands.

Congressional hearing discusses the role of afterschool in workforce development
On Thursday, June 15, the House Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Development convened a hearing titled, "Helping Americans Get Back to Work: Implementation of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)." Part of the conversation centered on the positive role of afterschool programs in helping develop student employability and life skills.
The hearing was held in conjunction with President Trump's "Workforce Development Week" – an effort by the administration to highlight job training programs and apprenticeships. Despite the bipartisan praise of these programs, in the FY 2018 budget request, President Trump reduces the Department of Labor (DOL) budget by 21 percent, with significant cuts to job training and employment grants, JobCorps programs, and job training for seniors.

In coal country, afterschool's a lifeline for working families
|Photo courtesy of Monongalia County Schools Extended Day in Morgantown.
While some areas have started to recover from the Great Recession, some of the hardest-hit states continue to struggle with sluggish wage growth and limited employment opportunities. One of those states is West Virginia, where 1 in 4 children are growing up in poverty and well-paying union jobs, especially in the coal industry, are becoming rare.
Last month we had the opportunity to hear from parents in West Virginia. Tommy G. is a single father of three hit by the downturn of the coal industry. In a nearby county, Chastity and Brennan took on longer hours and a second job after their incomes were cut. And in Fairmont, a family of eight juggles the many of demands of work and kids. What do these parents have in common? They rely on afterschool programs—and say losing afterschool would result in financial hardship and put their ability to work in jeopardy.
West Virginia's strong demand for quality, affordable afterschool options is made clear by America After 3PM, which found that the rate of participation in West Virginia's afterschool programs more than tripled between 2004 and 2014. Hardworking parents, many of whom make ends meet with two or more jobs, find support for their affordable childcare needs in the form of aftercare, free and reduced-price food, homework and academic assistance, and more.

Trump doubles down: $0 for afterschool
Afterschool funding is still on the chopping block.
The fiscal year 2018 federal budget is in, and it eliminates 21st Century Community Learning Centers funding completely. Despite an overwhelming display of support for afterschool from voters, communities, and lawmakers from across the political spectrum, the White House remains committed to cutting the programs that kids and families rely on.
When the budget cut was floated back in March, the reaction was swift and absolutely clear:
- More than 1,450 diverse organizations signed a letter calling on House and Senate appropriators to reject President Trump's proposal and fund 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) at or above its current level of $1.167 billion.
- Eighty-one members of Congress (twice as many as last year) signed a bipartisan letter to House Appropriations Committee leaders urging them not to cut afterschool funding.
- Researchers across the ideological spectrum spoke out about the value of afterschool programs.
- Highly respected institutions posted new research summaries demonstrating that afterschool programs provide tremendous benefits – as nearly every study has clearly shown.
- A Quinnipiac national poll found that 83 percent of voters oppose cutting funding for afterschool and summer programs, with just 14 supporting the administration's position.
- Congress provided a modest increase in Community Learning Center funding for the remainder of FY2017, enabling 25,000 more students across the nation to participate in afterschool programs.
As our executive director Jodi Grant put it, the budget cut would be "a stunning blow" to working families, "who count on afterschool programs to provide enriching, educational opportunities for their children during the hours after the school day ends and before parents get home from work."
But kids are the big losers if this budget cut goes forward. A decade of research show that afterschool works to boost student success. National studies of students who regularly attend 21st Century Community Learning Centers found participants improved math and reading grade level performance, class participation, homework completion, and classroom behavior. For example, in Texas' 21st CCLC programs, students were more likely to be promoted to the next grade, while a statewide longitudinal evaluation of the After School Safety and Enrichment for Teens (ASSETs) program in California found that students participating received higher ELA and math assessment scores. For additional details on these evaluations and to read more state reports, download our 21st CCLC Statewide Evaluation Academic Highlights fact sheet.
And we know that the benefits of afterschool aren't just for the children in the programs; parents with children in afterschool programs report being more focused at work and being able to work a full day. That additional security has huge economic results for individual families and for the nation. In fact, according to a study by Catalyst and the Community, Families & Work Program at Brandeis University, parents with children in afterschool programs contribute an additional $50 to $300 billion more to the economy each year.
At a time when 1 in 5 children is unsupervised after the school day ends and nearly 19.4 million children are waiting to get into an afterschool program, "The administration's proposal is painfully short-sighted and makes a mockery of the president's promises to support inner cities and rural communities alike," Grant added. Afterschool is working for millions of American families, and millions more have made it clear that there is immense unmet demand for programs—why would we want to shut them down?
It's time to speak up in defense of afterschool. Our momentum is strong and we have fought back against one budgetary elimination before: we can do it again, and win. Email your representatives in Congress right now, and join us on June 7 for a national call-in day to tell your representatives that you will not accept elimination of federal afterschool funding. Together, our voices and our advocacy can make the difference that saves afterschool.

5 ways afterschool prepares kids to succeed in the workplace
Cultivating tomorrow's workforce remains a central part of the discussion about America's economic future. As today's children begin to develop the skills they will need in the workplace, experts in the education and afterschool fields are turning their attention to the ways that afterschool can contribute to that development.
In the summer of 2016, the Riley Institute at Furman University surveyed afterschool state network leads using a comprehensive skills list from the National Network of Business and Industry Associations and additional skills from other nationally-regarded organizations. Survey responses illustrate the extent to which workforce readiness skills are developed in afterschool programming and the strategies programs use to grow those skills. Here are some main highlights from the study:
- The top five workforce readiness skills developed by afterschool are teamwork, communication, problem solving, self-confidence, and critical thinking
- 87 percent of survey respondents report that afterschool programs help develop self-confidence "a lot" – 89 percent report similar levels of improvement for teamwork skills, and 81 percent report gains in communication skills
- STEM/robotics programs are top performers for fostering self-confidence, problem solving, and teamwork development
- Afterschool programs create environments where students can engage in reflection, discussion, and argumentative essays to build their critical thinking skills
- In-school attendance, behavior, and academic performance are seen to improve for students in afterschool programs
Check out the full results of the study here. To learn more about the skills lists utilized for this survey, head over to the Business Roundtable skills list, the Indiana skills list, and the profile of a South Carolina graduate.

Congress Urged to Keep Funding After-School Programs in Hawaii (Hawaii Tribune-Herald, Hawaii)
The Afterschool Alliance and more than 1,400 organizations send a letter to Congress this week urging representatives to reject President Trump's budget proposal that would eliminate funding for afterschool programs. The budget cuts would affect some 6,000 Hawaii students. "We would like (Congress) to put the 21st Century (program) back into the budget," Afterschool Ambassador Paula Adams told the Hawaii Tribune-Herald. "Afterschool programs… are making a huge difference in our children's lives and they are proving to be effective in who our children are in general."
Editorial: Hungry Kids Only Learn All the Wrong Lessons (Salisbury Daily Times, Maryland)
The Salisbury Daily Times editorial board argues that afterschool programs turn children into better students and better citizens, pushing back on the idea that afterschool programs don't improve academic performance. They write: "Anyone, including the president, who thinks keeping fed and supervised after the school day ends is a waste of federal tax dollars, is sadly mistaken. ... The programs threatened by the president's proposed budget provide academic enrichment, supervised STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) activities, arts and social experiences, homework assistance, nutrition and socialization opportunities. They help youngsters develop skills they need to grow, learn and become productive, responsible citizens. Isn't that what we want, as a community?"
Don't Close Doors on Successful After-School Academic Program (Plain Dealer, Ohio)
In an op-ed for the Plain Dealer, Annemarie Grassi, CEO of the afterschool program Open Doors Academy, details the effectiveness of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program: "Teachers report substantial progress in homework completion and overall behavior. Strong improvements have been documented for mathematics grades (36.5 percent), English grades (36.8 percent), and state tests in elementary reading and high school math. Given that many of the young people enrolling in the programs enter with notable academic deficits, these outcomes are striking. ... The 21st Century Community Learning Centers federal grant program is characterized by high impact, financial efficiency, strong results, and a solid return on investment. ... We urge the president to protect 21st Century funding and thereby stand behind an initiative that truly works – for everybody."
About 700 FPS Students Could Be Left without After-School Programs (Fremont Tribune, Nebraska)
About 600 to 700 Fremont Public School students could lose access to afterschool programs under President Trump's budget proposal. The programs work to narrow the achievement gap and provide academic enrichment in coordination with the school curriculum, particularly helping lower-income students who may not have access to beneficial extracurricular activities. "We are giving kids the opportunities to participate in these activities and a lot of our teachers express that each year they see achievement from the beginning of the school year to the end of the school year raise in subjects like math and reading specifically," Leah Hladik, program director of Fremont Expanded Learning Opportunities, told the Fremont Tribune.

Trump's Budget Proposal Would Gut South Carolina After-School Programs (Charleston Post and Courier, South Carolina)
If President Trump's budget were to pass, South Carolina afterschool and summer programs serving some 13,000 students would lose $16 million dollars in federal funding. Many of these programs are run out of high-poverty schools like Pepperhill Elementary in North Charleston, where more than 100 students stay after school to get homework help, enjoy a healthy meal, and work on science projects. The program has improved students' test scores and academic achievement, and is also a huge help to working parents. "A lot of our parents are single parents who work two or three jobs," assistant principal Jamie McCarthy told the Post and Courier. "Not being able to have this would be taxing not only to our children, but to our families."
Extended School-Day Programs Deserve Support (Keene Sentinel, New Hampshire)
On Sunday, the Keene Sentinel editorial board noted its support for maintaining afterschool funding on the local and national level. They wrote: "[Afterschool programs] provide more than babysitting services. They provide additional structure to the day for students, and added learning opportunities and focused time to work on school assignments. They also often include physical activities at a time when childhood obesity is a growing concern. They even partner with other organizations to offer even more learning venues … with Trump proposing to cut 21st Century Community Learning Center grants … it's going to be up to local boards and residents to determine whether they'll fall by the wayside or continue to augment learning, provide social structure, and allow parents to work."
Reject Trump's Funding Cut for Afterschool Programs (Green Bay Press-Gazette, Wisconsin)
Afterschool Ambassador Eric Vanden Heuvel made the case for afterschool funding in a letter to the editor of the Green Bay Press-Gazette: "It was astonishing to hear the budget chief say that there's "no demonstrable evidence" that afterschool works ... Study after study has provided evidence that afterschool programs work. They help improve students' grades and test scores. They help improve attendance and behavior during the regular school day, building blocks of future success. They help develop lifelong habits like physical activity and making healthy choices. They keep kids safe during a time of day when they might otherwise find trouble. They make it possible for their working parents to keep their jobs ... Federal support for afterschool is modest, but crucial. Congress should reject the president's proposal to cut it."
GRPS: Trump Budget 'Shocking' (Grand Rapids Press, Michigan)
The Grand Rapids Board of Education expressed strong opposition to President Trump's proposed budget cuts to public education last week. The board plans to contact Michigan's U.S. representatives and senators to urge them to reject the budget, which would strip more than $120 million for afterschool programs and teacher training from the state. Grand Rapids Board of Education President Tony Baker told the Grand Rapids Press that it's the first time he can recall the district formally responding to a proposed federal budget.

Key points from the Aspen Institute Summit on Inequality and Opportunity
On March 16, the Aspen Institute held its annual Summit on Inequality & Opportunity in Washington, D.C. The conversations this year largely focused on income inequality and the difficulty of upward financial mobility for low-income families, contributing to the widening opportunity gap in the United States.
In the first panel of the day, Jonathan Morduch, Professor of Public Policy and Economics at New York University, and Rachel Schneider, Senior Vice President at the Center for Financial Services Innovation, talked about their book The Financial Diaries and what they learned from tracking the finances of 235 low- and middle-income families over the course of a year. One key finding from the study demonstrated the overwhelming amount of income instability that low- and middle-income families experience from month to month and how it affects their daily lives and the way they plan their finances.

Trump Proposal Hits After-School Programs (Houston Chronicle, Texas)
Almost 130 afterschool programs in the Houston area may lose federal funding under President Trump's proposed budget calling for the elimination of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers initiative. More than 103,000 students across Texas participate in afterschool programs and their participation results in demonstrable academic benefits like increased attendance and improved test scores. "For a lot of these kids, we feel like we're the difference," Communities in Schools senior project director Kam Marvel told the Houston Chronicle. "Offering 15 additional hours of education a week improves the chances of passing the test and increases exposure to certified teachers."
21st CCLC Funds, Afterschool Programs in Danger from Proposed Cuts (Lake News, Missouri)
Some 1,500 students in Lake area schools take part in afterschool programs like Afterschool Ambassador Colleen Abbott's LEAP program (Learning Enriched Afterschool Program), engaging in STEM learning, physical education, and homework help. Despite the improved test scores, grades, and attendance records of participating students, LEAP and other programs may lose funding under the president's proposed federal budget. Abbott believes these programs are essential not only for students but also for working parents. "The families we support are hardworking individuals who strive to provide for their kids in order to give their children opportunities to succeed," she told the Lake News.
Local After-School Programs Face Cuts with Trump's Proposed Budget (Press of Atlantic City, New Jersey)
President Trump's proposed budget cuts to afterschool programs would be devastating for students and parents in New Jersey, according to advocates and program operators. "Losing this would be a devastating blow to our students and families," Wildwood supervisor of curriculum Josepha Penrose told the Press of Atlantic City. "This does allow more parents to work knowing their children have a safe place to go after school." Programs like the Boys & Girls Club serve 26,000 students in 57 school districts across the state and give students a safe, engaging place to spend the hours after school ends and before their parents get home from work.
After School Funding a 'Critical' Need for Kids (Argus Leader, South Dakota)
In a letter to the Argus Leader, Afterschool Ambassador Heather DeWit explains why afterschool programs are critical for her children and other students throughout South Dakota: "The caring adults in after school and summer programs have made a positive difference for both my children. They have had opportunities to make a difference in their world, been supported by positive role models and learned new things, all while I was busy at work... The economic toll we would face in South Dakota. if working parents lost this critical support, the risk factors our children would face, and the incredible benefits our children would lose, make this an obvious area where cuts would be tragic."

text: I took some time this morning to stop in the new Starbucks on RT. 34 in Derby, CT, and I'm really impressed with how they've set it up. It's spacious, comfortable, clean, and exactly what I needed to find in my hometown. Being the kind of person that never really stops working or thinking, having a Starbucks nearby is a great thing. It gives me a place to be productive without shutting myself out from the world. I can sit here with my laptop and get a ton of work done, but still bump into a friend or start up a conversation with a stranger. Having it along the way on my commute in and out of work is a nice thing as well. Out of all the local Starbucks, including Shelton, Oxford, Milford, Orange, and Trumbull, this one is definitely my favorite. Check it out if you're local.

Why is the interest paid on my 1098 year-end statement different than it was last year?
There are several reasons why your interest paid this year could be different than last year. If you have an Adjustable Rate Mortgage, the interest rate may have changed from the prior year. There also could be a difference in the number of payments you made this year compared to last year, or you could have deferred interest for one or more payments to account for the difference in your year-end statements.
Why is there a difference between the interest I paid and the interest you reported to the IRS for my 1098?
There are several possible reasons for the difference between these amounts such as late charges paid, funds used to "buy down" the interest rate, interest paid in advance or deferred interest.
Why am I seeing two 1098/1099-C/1099-INT/1099-MISC forms?
You'll see multiple 1098 tax forms if you have more than one Home Loan with us (Adjustable Rate Mortgage, Easy Mortgage and/or Home Equity), and:

There's no denying that Sonic has seen better days. Pulled between pillar and post across every modern format there is, SEGA have relied on an ardent fanbase to adopt an increasingly weak formula. Far too many of the titles wearing the Sonic The Hedgehog brand name have featured good ideas buried in tiresomely repetitive 'modern' designs, but with Sonic: Lost World SEGA is hoping to wipe the slate clean and start a fresh: a new Sonic for a new generation.
Sonic: Lost World will only be available for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS: two consoles that are yet to see an original Sonic The Hedgehog videogame. And of course, as these two consoles break the mould of the traditional control pad set-up it's only fitting that Sonic: Lost World presents a different gameplay experience. In fact, Sonic: Lost World is the most abstract Sonic The Hedgehog videogame ever.
Sonic The Hedgehog has always followed Super Mario, through two dimensions and three, and now into a world where gameplay prevails over visual consistency. Sonic: Lost World recreates the infamous Green Hill Zone (and many other familiar locations, though these were not available to play in the preview build provided to Electronic Theatre) as a series of tubes and conveyor belts, stairs and spring boards, all entirely disconnected from one another. The player must find a path between them while maintaining speed.
And speed is something that this design allows Sonic The Hedgehog to bring back in spades. At times the adrenaline rush gameplay feels closer to a racing videogame than a platform one, equally as comparable to F-Zero as it is to Super Mario Galaxy. This is both a blessing and a curse, as while it feels unique it also strikes a poor balance when facing enemies or difficult jumps. Players only angle Sonic rather than actually turn (turns in the landscape are handled automatically) and then takes advantage of the now established lock-and-attack system that the Sonic The Hedgehog videogames have fallen back upon for the last half-decade.
Therein lies Sonic: Lost World's biggest problem: while it tries to do something new it relies on established mechanics that, in reality, have very little worth in this new template. Hopes remain high that SEGA will present something worthwhile on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, but it's unlikely to be anything truly groundbreaking simply due to a lack of confidence in new design.
