text: Since the commencement of the CBD and South East light rail construction in October 2015, the Sydney CBD has undergone much disruption. Retailers on George Street have been affected the most, with some operators reporting revenue declines in excess of 50%. Nevertheless, rents along George Street have continued to rise at faster rates than other CBD locations, pushing occupancy costs into the upper bounds of affordability. With the retail trade environment expected to experience a period of slower growth over the next 2-3 years (and having recorded weak growth of only 2.4% y-o-y to December 2017), the completion of construction works in early 2019 is set to bring welcome news for embattled retailers along the strip and signal a structural shift in the Sydney CBD leasing market.

It is well documented that income inequality is on the rise, with the richest 10 percent earning up to 40 percent of total global income. The poorest 10 percent earn only between 2 percent and 7 percent of total global income. In developing countries, inequality has increased by 11 percent if we take into account the growth of population.
These widening disparities require the adoption of sound policies to empower the bottom percentile of income earners, and promote economic inclusion of all regardless of sex, race or ethnicity.
Income inequality is a global problem that requires global solutions. This involves improving the regulation and monitoring of financial markets and institutions, encouraging development assistance and foreign direct investment to regions where the need is greatest. Facilitating the safe migration and mobility of people is also key to bridging the widening divide.

Creation Research is not underwritten by any one church or denomination. Creation Research is a faith ministry funded by the gifts of God's people to proclaim Christ as Creator, Sustainer, Saviour, Lord and Judge.
|WHY? In the early 70's, a young evangelist shared with us that everywhere he went. schools, colleges, youth groups, etc., 9 out of 10 students complained "Why are you wasting your time telling us about Jesus Christ when we know Adam and Eve are not true?" The dilemma? How do we reach people for Christ who have been immunised against the gospel by the theory of evolution?
|The Creation Research grew out of that request and our aim is to reach the millions indoctrinated to believe man evolved from ape-like ancestors, therefore they reject the Bible as false, creation as myth, and Christ as irrelevant.
It is also out aim to encourage God's people to know they can fully trust Christ and His Word concerning creation and reach out confidently to a world full of evolutionists who reject the gospel.
HOW? Converted by Christ from drug addiction, a young man sat in our office sharing how
Such a situation ought not surprise us. Christ stated (Luke 16..31) "If they don't accept Moses (Creation, the Flood, Babel, the Law...) they won't be convinced by the resurrection." Increasingly in society based on evolution, people reject Christ without consideration. To reach them, we must like Paul, "Contend for the faith" and break down the barriers of evolutionary humanism with the Factual truths of Genesis and the faith of Christ as Creator.
A newly converted farmer wanted to reach out to the neighbours in his valley. When he began, most said they were not interested in the bible, because at school they had learnt the Genesis, the first book, was wrong. Everyone was sure evolution was right. He bought all the books he could lay his hands on about creation and started anew. He held Bible studies in his home on creation. The results - many of his neighbours are now Christians.
WHEN? Over the last 16 years, the Lord has enabled us to visit and research the dinosaur fields of Canada, USA, the human fossil fields in the Carribean, Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom, the Grand Canyon, the coal fields of the Western World, the beautiful world of tropical orchids and much, much more. We went not only to preach in these places, but to collect and record the evidence of God's grandeur in creation and His awesome power in the judgement of Noah's flood. This material has been presented throughout the western world to both lay and technical audiences with the same aim - remove the weeds of evolution doubt, plough up the hard ground of evolutionary scepticism, and sow the seeds of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The fossil fields of Central Queensland have provided us with some magnificent specimens of fossil Nautilus shells (supposedly 200 million years old). But a fossil Nautilus is identical to a living Nautilus, proving what God said in Genesis true - things produce after there own kind. It doesn't matter how old you think fossils are or what fossil group you pick, the rocks bear testimony to this one fact. It is our task to display these fossils in schools and churches etc., to show fact and faith go hand in hand.
Christianity is the one religion in the world where faith depends on facts. As the apostle Paul said - "if it's not fact that Christ rose from the dead then your faith is in vain" (1 Corinthians 15:17). It's just as necessary for the entire Biblical record to be based on fact. Whether it's Creation, Noah's flood, or the Tower of Babel, or the Resurrection, the facts show you can have faith in them all, and more importantly in the creator Christ.
WHERE? Third World Student Plea
"Would you kindly send me some information of a creation. Cause I have a great confusion as I'm a high school student. We never argue in a subject science when we learn a History of Life. I never expect any of the information and description of things in science of how we became to being human. So please I reckon you could help me come to the answer of my great confusion cause I'm wandering in the darkness." R Mdonna Buka Passage PNG
Satan has only recently begun introducing evolution to Third World countries in order to destroy missionary enterprise. Don't let missionaries down. Learn from what evolution has done to western society and help us respond to these pleas. Let's get in first with our spiritual armour on and provide third world missionaries and others with the weapons to do battle against the subtleties of Satan as he seeks to undermine confidence in God's Word and missionary enterprise. Pray with us as we produce and supply suitable materials freely to such students and missionaries in these areas, in addition to our work in the western world. It is your support which enables us to do this.
AIMS & BELIETS (IN BRIEF) Psalm 26:7 sums it up nicely.
"That we may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all God's wondrous works."

As part of Winter Preparedness Week, Dec. 5-11, Office of Emergency Management Deputy Coordinator Roy Shrout answered questions about how to prepare for the upcoming cold weather, including how to assemble an emergency supply kit for your home and car, and how you can stay informed of approaching severe winter weather. Find out how to keep your family safe this winter – at home, on the road or at work.
Roy Shrout
Good Afternoon Everyone, I would like to welcome you to this afternoons session on Winter Preparedness. I have been with Fairfax County Government for more than 22 years with almost 8 years in Emergency Management. Please visit our agency website at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/oem and the county emergency information website at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/emergency. Both sites have a great deal of usefull information for winter preparedness as well as other seasonal information, emergency notification, making plans and utilizing social media. Our agency also puts out a monthly electronic newsletter on preparedness which you can sign up for at www.fairfax.gov/oem/outreach/newsletter.htm. Thank you for participating and I look forward to answering as many questions as i can during the next hour.

What is the best way to prevent ice dams forming at the edge of a roof and the resulting water damage they cause?
Roy Shrout
Thanks for the question, ice dams can be prevented by controlling the heat loss from the home. In most cases, its due to poor circulation of air in your attic. In many cases you should look at getting a contractor to come and check the air flow. In particular you will see a pattern on your roof where some parts remain snow covered and others not. This is a good sign you have different temperatures in the attic area. There are no easy fixes and you can look on the web for information about ice dams. Some fixes would include additional attic insulation, duct insulation, installing an electric fan in the attic, etc. The important thing to remember is to be safe. Should and ice dam form, be careful around it. Brush snow at the edge of the roof if possible and can be done safely.

What should I keep in an emergency supply kit and how long should it last me?
Roy Shrout
Good Afternoon, Fairfax County has developed an excellent website which covers a variety of weather hazards and information. In particular we have put on the site an extensive list of what you should put in your kit. Remember, not only do you need a supply kit for your home but also your car and workplace. www.fairfaxcounty.gov/emergency/prepare. In general, you should have enough at home for at least 72 hours and take into account you may not have power or heat so electric can openers for your canned food will not work. Remember to include food and water and medication for your pets and comfort food for the kids.

How do i keep the pipes in my house from freezing in the winter?
Roy Shrout
Great question and thanks for asking today. I would recommend going to one of your local home improvement centers such as Lowes, Home Depot etc. for their guidance. One thing you should do is to shut off all of the exterior spigots. This will minimize any freezing issues you may have with some of those pipes. When you do shut off these lines, make sure you keep the access panel open so that warm air can continue to circulate. Another recommendation is that in any exterior wall pipe such as those in bathrooms or in the kitchen you may find it necessary to put insulation around those pipes to minimize the chance of freezing. If its extremely cold which it has been these past couple of nights, you need to keep the under cabinet door open to ensure warm air circulates more easily.
What is the best way to get closings information from the county and the schools?
Roy Shrout
Their are many ways to get this information. The two best ways are to tune into you local news stations either radio or television and to sign up for our Community Emergency Alert Network (CEAN). When you sign up with CEAN you can specify the types of information you can receive such as closings in the county, weather, significant accidents, disaster notification and traffic updates. We also have all of that information posted on the county website, www.fairfaxcounty.gov/emergency/status as well as channel 16 and our social media sites such as facebook and twitter. To sign up for emergency alerts please go to www.fairfaxcounty.gov/cean
Jeff from Herndon
What plans are in place to clear sidewalks on major thoroughfares and bus stops if a major snowfall occurs? Last February, walkers and bus riders had to walk down Herndon Parkway to get to Elden Street for at least 2 weeks, and the stop at Reston North (which will have significantly more traffic now that Reston East is closing) wasn't cleared for days, forcing riders to stand within 2-3 feet of cars traveling 40+ mph.
Roy Shrout
Great question and I know is a hot topic for many. Neither the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) nor Fairfax County clears snow and ice from public walkways (sidewalks and trails). While not legally obligated, residents and businesses are asked to help keep sidewalks safe. With regards to the Town of Herndon which is the location you mentioned in your question. I spoke with their Superintendent of Public Works and he indicated that in their Town, they do clear some of their sidewalks, however, mainly those going to the schools. They do also plow around bus stops if applicable. If you would like to call him for further clarification for the Town of Herndon, Sonny Lynch at 703-435-6860.

Do we have any indication on how bad this winter will be? Hopefully there will be less snow than we had last year.
Roy Shrout
Great question and as the case with all predictions its only that, a prediction. Our agency utilizes the National Weather Service located in Sterling, Virginia for all of our weather information forcasts. Essentialy a similar weather pattern is possible as we saw last year, however, the moisture flows from the Gulf should not be as great as they were last year. With that said, we are less likely to see the large snows we saw in December and February. We are not forecasters here so please consult the NWS website at www.erh.noaa/gov/er/lwx. You can find a variety of information on current and forecast predictions. Our recommendation is to always be prepared for any large event. Make sure you are prepared at home and your business as you may find yourself in either location or on the road.

Are there any general tips for keeping pets safe in the winter? I have an inside/outside cat for the first time this year and I'm worried about her in the cold.
Roy Shrout
Thanks for asking this question. Please look at our website at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/emergency and it will point you at the section on pets. If a pet is outdoors, by law, it must be provided with shelter. The pet's house should be elevated off the ground to prevent moisture accumulation and have a door of some kind to keep out winter winds, sleet and snow. Shelters should be insulated or heated in severely cold or inclement weather, no pet should be kept outside.
Indoor pets should have sleeping quarters in a draft-free warm area with their bed or mattress elevated slightly off the floor. For bedding, use hay or other non-absorbent materials that will remain dry during inclement weather.
Other tips include Dont let dogs off their leash as they may get lost
Snow and salt should be removed from pet's paws immediately to avoide burning their paw pads
Outdoor pets require extra calories to keep warm so feed your pet a little more duing cold weather months
Be sure the pet's water does not freeze
And in particular with cats, they may climb onto vehicle engies for warmth during cold weather. Be sure to check under the hood before starting your vehicle.
You may also want to consult with your vet for further suggestions.
Roy Shrout
Thanks to everyone for participating in todays winter weather preparedness chat. Should you have any further questions, please contact the Office of Emergency Management via email at email@example.com or by phone at 571-350-1000. We also provide preparedness presentations for groups and organizations. If you are interested and would like to have a speaker please contact our office. Stay safe and Be Prepared

They've both gone through a down cycle in their careers. Expecting them to get back to that level is just as silly as expecting them to bust because of last year's play. You just give them a chance to succeed and if it works out, fantastic. Hopefully, you have enough depth that you get 1 or 2 guys who surpise you each year to balance out the few that don't work out.
Between Kobesaw, Jokinen, D'Agostini, Jeffrey, Glass, Vitale, and even Payerl and Megna, I think we've got enough guys competing for 4 spots, who all have a shot at contributing at a high-level in our bottom 6. Probably, 1 or 2 of the 8 will have a "break out" performace. 1 or 2 will suck or get serioulsy injured. The other 4 will be average. The net result? The break outs play on the 3rd line and get to play a meaningful role. The 4th line ends up being average... that's why its the 4th line.
This is what depth and competition is all about.

Based on the morning skate info, looks like Kobasew will be playing the right-side with Sid... However, I am sure Bennett will get some looks with Sid throughout the game.

Back up the Duh Truck: Researchers at the University of Alabama have discovered that if you treat the patient you have, instead of the one you think might be prettier, you end up with better outcomes. In other news, fat asses can't fit in a size 4 pant, that and 25 cents will no longer get you a cup of coffee, square pegs are unsuited to round holes, and ten pounds of shit doesn't go in a five-pound bag.
Yeah, folks, apparently giving women with ovarian cancer chemotherapy dosages based on their actual weight, rather than their ideal weight, leads to increased survival rates, effectively eliminating any significant difference between the survival rates of fat and non-fat women. Of course, fat women are still going to be more likely to die of cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer, because for some WHOLLY MYSTERIOUS reason they're less likely to get screened. But if they can manage to get diagnosed with ovarian cancer, thank god for these great strides in medical science that have shown we should give them the amount of treatment they actually need. And when we do that, I'll be blowed — that survival difference we'd been putting down to "fat killz" somehow just goes away. (But remember, "research also shows obese women are more likely to have other health problems, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease that may affect cancer treatment"! That research is surely completely valid and not affected by any confounding factors whatsoever! Also, this is no license to go around stealing other people's cancer and surgically inserting it into your body!)
Did you have any idea that chemo dosing is "often" calculated based on ideal body weight? I guess that semi-mandatory weigh-in every visit really is just so they can decide whether to give you adequate medical treatment or not. Here I was thinking that it was because MEDICATION WORKS PROPERLY WHEN IT'S PRESCRIBED FOR THE BODY YOU HAVE, NOT THE ONE YOUR DOCTOR WISHES YOU HAD. For sure, chemo is the kind of shit you don't want to overdose on. But it is also the kind of thing that you DO NOT WANT TO UNDERDOSE ON OMFG. And prescribing based on ideal weight is the medical equivalent of "there's a thin person in you trying to get out" — it's predicated on the idea that you have a real body that's the same size and composition, give or take 20 pounds, as the body of anyone else your height, and then a bunch of extra non-functional tissue that doesn't count. Those of us who've dieted and puked our way through adolescence and never hit "normal" already know that that's absurd, as do those of us who are still considered overweight when thin. In the tradition of being grateful for the few crumbs medical science throws our way, I'm glad they're catching on that there's a difference between a fat person and Tyra Banks in a latex suit.
Kate covered this at Broadsheet too (I don't have to tell y'all never to read Broadsheet comments, right? They have ironically some of the most antifeminist readers on the web, but unlike here, they pay), but we thought this one was sputter-worthy enough to merit a two-pronged attack.
Postscript: Since this is my second post about scientific studies in a row, I want to preemptively direct you back in the archives to this post on cherry-picking. You're damn right we at SP give credit to the studies we find reasonable and question the ones we don't — it's called "educated analysis of available data." You can't build your scientific paradigm on any single study — you have to look at the full scope of evidence with an understanding that all will be to some degree biased or incomplete, and make your best educated guesses based on what you see. That's what we do, and we do it a damn sight better than the media most of the time. Are the studies that support our hypothesis perfect? Like hell; the perfect experiment is a mythical beast. But they don't suck any worse than the ones that support the opposing hypothesis, and often they suck a whole lot less. Studies like this one don't prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that fat is health-neutral, but they — or at least the sheer number of them — sure as shit prove that we haven't proved that it isn't. No matter what the internet says.

Fortunately, Point of Sale (POS) technology is making better control of cash in retail stores possible, resulting in benefit for both staff and customers.
One German furniture company has estimated that the payment process and handling of cash at the checkout takes between 15 to 25 seconds. As this is only one part of processing pos system, 15 to 25 seconds is quite substantial time and, when the seconds are calculated for the cash handling from every sale throughout the day…till operators are spending more time on this process than most business owners would like.
Then, there is also the concern of cash robbery and theft. On any given day in a retail business, one, a few or many more employees will handle cash. Think how many different times and how many different people will handle cash in a supermarket on any one day. It is also probable that many managers are reconciling cash and making deposits, which is why they use point of sale systems.
How Do You Select the Best Point Of Sale Systems in Restaurant Software ?
There are a number of channels of distribution available to the producer, which may be employed by him to bring his products to the market and use point of sale software. Consumer goods may be distributed generally through channels, in each of which the manufacturers may use the sales branch or sales office as the additional alternative. One of the channels used is Producer-Consumer, where no middleman is involved. Sales are made from house to house or by direct mail.
A second channel is Producer-Retailer-Consumer, by which goods may be purchased directly from manufacturers. Retail stores may also be opened by manufacturers by this channel.
A stockist or distributor or wholesaler is also a large sized operator but not on par with the marketer or sole selling agent in level, size and territory of operation. Stock holding and sub-distribution, as per the policies laid down by the manufacturers or the marketers, are the main functions of stockists/distributors pos retail equipment.
POS - Point of Sale Explained
Observe your typical consumer with pos system when they're out shopping and you'll see that most people will buy something that they did not intentionally set out to buy. This is down to a number of things. Call it what you will - 'an impulse buy' or 'because I deserve a treat' or simply 'I have to have it!'
I believe that the simple reason behind a large number of these purchases, are down to clever marketing and eye-catching and believable promotional displays.
Indeed - how many times yourself have you been stopped in your tracks in a store, when first your mind sees a display, then you recognise the product from the advert you saw on the TV the other day and remember that 'this promised to reduce my wrinkles instantly'
So you walk over, stop and pick up the product and read the back of the box. It, along with the literature shown on the POS display re-confirms the claim. You decide it's a bit pricey but you really want to use this product because it will reduce my wrinkles! You want to buy it, because it will make you feel better about yourself. You go ahead and buy it and leave the store feeling happier because of your purchase. You're going to look and feel better!
So, my recommended lists of five steps to increase sales of your product through cleverly manufactured POS displays are:
1. Find a company that understands the needs of you, the client and the targeted market for your project.
2. Give a clear and concise brief and understand the budget. What does your favoured cost include and exclude.
3. Understand your brand, what may or may not the display build company use.
4. Ensure your chosen company has your trust. They will go the extra mile for you.
5. Keep in touch! It's good to talk and silly mistakes will be avoided.
Finally, sit back and enjoy fantastic product sales for all point of sale software!
What Is A Point of Sale System?
Point of sale (POS) systems are used by hundreds of businesses in order to streamline the purchasing process as well as track the various financial and inventory data that relates to the sales made. Although the general concept behind each system is virtually the same, different industries can purchase POS systems that are tailor made for their needs. Think of it is a delivery service: A bike delivery would work fine for a local newspaper, but UPS would have to shut down if it didn't have delivery trucks. The same concept applies to POS sale systems used in retail stores, restaurants, and hotels. Each specific industry can benefit from a system that is designed for their specific needs.
Retail POS systems are specialized at quick and easy one time sales. The items stored in their database are well defined, and although there can be many colors or sizes offered for one item, there isn't very much variation in the product. If one person buys a black jacket, although the jacket comes in blue, all the people who buy the black on are still getting the same item. This is why retail POS systems are the simplest in nature. In regards to the sale process, all they need is to pull up an item's information from inventory and remove it upon purchase. Of course, this is just in reference the the sales aspect of the system; there are still complex inventory control settings and sales efficiency metrics that that can be used, but in terms of making a sale, the retail system is the most simplistic.
Clearly, when starting a business it important to take the industry specific POS into account. Don't just try and find the best deal, but rather what will work best to make your company run efficiently. Understanding why each system is unique will help when trying to make the decision for what POS system to purchase. Although the examples given were for specific industries, the systems can be applied to different industries that have similar purchasing processes: The retail POS can be used in stores ranging from clothing to electronics and the restaurant system can be used in various hospitality related industries.

Failed to Death: Counties are responsible for child protection, too
By Dennis Kennedy
Guest Commentary
The Denver Post's year-long series "Failed To Death" about kids who've died even after they brushed up against Child Protection has brought much needed exposure to the tragic flaws in Colorado's child welfare system, and has put valuable pressure on the system at the state level to improve. The governor, legislature and state Department of Human Services have responded with positive proposals and some valuable actions.
Trouble is, the state level isn't the main problem.
There are 65 child welfare systems in our state: Each of the 64 counties have one, and then there's the state system. There is far more power at the county level, even though a lot of the money comes from the state level. The state has a bully pulpit through executive director Reggie Bicha, but the real action, or lack thereof, resides in the home rule counties, who resist almost every attempt to provide greater transparency and accountability.

Going into the 2004 General Election, there was no question that the Hispanic
and Latino vote across the U.S. would decide the outcome
of elections up and down the ballot, and potentially
the Presidency itself. In the key states of Florida,
Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado, the Latino
vote had historically lagged behind population estimates,
greatly under representing an important and ever-growing voice on Election Day.
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson hired Burnside & Associates to design and lead a multi state voter registration drive to register Hispanics
in key states, and provide a bilingual get-out-the-vote (GOTV) campaign encompassing vote by mail, early vote and
Election Day education to consequently, influence the
2004 elections.
Burnside & Associates identified key Hispanic and Latino precincts
in five states where the number of eligible Latino
voters were greater than the number of registered Latino
voters. The program would impact state and federal
races by increasing Hispanic voter participation in
the areas Democratic candidates needed it most. In
addition to targeting new citizens and eligible Latinos
for registration, Moving America Forward (MAF) also focused considerable time and resources on contacting
Hispanic voters who had previously registered to vote
but had an occasional voting history.
The end goal was clear, MAF would need to register
214,293 new Hispanic voters and target an additional 923,392 sporadic Latino voters for GOTV efforts.
To reach this goal, Burnside & Associates:
Hispanics were instrumental in key Democratic wins.
By mobilizing Latino voters to the polls, Burnside & Associates helped to elect two new members of Congress,
U.S. Senator Salazar, four state house members, and
flipped both chambers of the Colorado State House and
The paid canvasses and field efforts reinforced MAF's
message of empowerment and maintained the organization's
visibility, while the trainings and earned media campaign
consistently generated favorable coverage for the organization
and established a real movement in the Hispanic community.

More Information
SculptureNow was founded in 1997 by a group of people involved in the arts in the Berkshires, who became aware of a need to promote the experience and knowledge of sculpture through exhibitions and educational outreach, and to offer artists a venue for showing their work in our community.
Expand the knowledge of art in general and sculpture in particular in the Berkshires, through exhibitions, presentations and student workshops.
Offer exhibition opportunities to sculptors, and support their careers.
Provide sculpture related information and educational materials for use in the schools and colleges in Berkshire County.
Offer the programs in public places, free and readily available to the public.
Participate in the cultural economy of our community.
Each year, for 15 years, SN has presented works by 16-32 local, national and international sculptors. Our juried shows have been at the Berkshire Botanical Garden, the Rockwell Museum, and in the centers of Gt. Barrington, Housatonic, Lenox, Stockbridge, Lee and Becket
For the past ten years we have presented sculpture in the public arena, free and open at all times, to residents and visitors of all ages, socioeconomic levels, gender, race/ethnicity, and persons with disabilities.
This has enabled us to reach people who do not often frequent museums and galleries.
This year our primary exhibition is in Lenox, from June 5- Oct. 27, 2012. State Rep. Smitty Pignatelli will give opening remarks at the reception June 10 at the Gateways Inn.
Our pilot exhibition in Hinsdale, MA, one of our hill-towns, opens on June 7, 2012 and ends on June 1, 2013.The reception on July 21, 2012 coincides with a town block dance, attracting 10,000 people. Opening remarks by Diane Eulian, Chair of the Hinsdale/Peru Cultural Council. We are inviting young people from Hinsdale summer camps and Kittredge School to meet the artists, see the sculptures and have hands-on project.
In connection with the shows, SN offers workshops to students in the Berkshires. Working with artists, the young people tour the shows, create their own sculptures and write about their creative process. Their works and writings are exhibited in town libraries. Many of our artists have experience teaching in workshops, schools and colleges. This year they include Anne Alexander, Peter Barrett, Matthew Burke, Bill Jackson, Fielding Brown, Colleen O'Donnell and Wendy Klemperer.
High school students in Lenox will work with Matthew Burke in constructing and installing his sculpture.
In our student surveys we have found, that although the cultural resources in the Berkshires are numerous, few students partake in them, possibly due to the rural nature of our community. We emphasize communication with "living" art and artists, providing students with inspiration for their own creativity.
Our sculpture workshops are free, providing an experience that would not otherwise be available. We believe that these programs are more important than ever, during the current economical challenges to school budgets.
We have produced, distributed and broadcast videos and films of our exhibitions, student workshops, and sculptors in their studios.
Our shows have been featured in the national, and regional news media.
The reputation of our shows has led to inquiries from other communities who seek our collaboration or advice.
We distribute 8,000 rack cards, free self-guiding maps and offer free tours. We are listed on the websites of the International Sculpture Center, the Berkshire Visitors Bureau and the Town of Lenox. We are supported by Massachusetts Cultural Council, private foundations, businesses and individuals in the Berkshires.
We participate in the creative economy by being a significant attraction in the Berkshires, and have received the full support of our local and state officials.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married for 30 years and will be visiting my mother-in-law again soon. Even though he is 50, she is obsessed with dressing him. As soon as we arrive, she searches through our luggage and announces that his clothes are not "good enough." Then she wants to put her son in her dead husband's clothes. She always threatens that she will have a fit if he won't wear the clothes she chooses. What should I do? - Baggage Check In Montana
Your mother-in-law may still be in deep mourning for her husband. If your husband bears a strong resemblance to his father, it's possible that seeing him in those clothes in some way brings her husband back to her.
Frankly, her behavior is quite bizarre - including the threatened tantrum if she doesn't get her way. (Could she be losing it?) When the subject comes up again, as it will when you arrive, you and your husband should stand your ground and let her throw her fit. It might be the beginning of some healing.
Dear Abby: I have a question regarding what to do when someone pays you a compliment. I was always taught that a compliment should be answered with a polite "thank you." So when my husband compliments me on a nice meal, I say, "Thank you."
He believes that you are not being humble enough when you say thank you, since it is recognizing that you did a good job. He thinks you should say, "I'm glad you like it," instead of thank you. What is the correct response? - Grammatically Perplexed
You are not a robot, and your husband should not attempt to program your responses by "correcting" you. Saying thank you for a compliment is the appropriate response when one is offered. When paid a compliment, I see no reason to feign humility by saying anything that lessens it, especially if it is deserved.
Dear Abby: About a year ago my sisters, a daughter and several nieces and nephews decided to get the word "family," in my mother's handwriting, tattooed on their bodies to memorialize her. I didn't do it because Mom didn't like tattoos and would not have approved of anyone getting one for any reason. I do a number of other things in her memory.
Should I feel guilty for not joining them in their endeavor to remember Mom, or is it OK to remember her in a way she would approve of? - No Tats For Me
The process of mourning is an individual one. There is no requirement that families do it "en masse." If you prefer to memorialize your mother in your own way, then do it and don't feel guilty about it. However, because your relatives chose to do something else in the spirit of family harmony - which your mother would not approve of - be careful not to criticize the path they took.
Dear Abby: My son's fourth-grade teacher can't spell. I have noticed at least a half-dozen errors not only in the handwritten notes she sends home, but also in assignment work! How should I handle this? - Anonymous In Pittsburgh
Save the notes and assignment work with the misspellings and share them with the school principal. And if the problem continues, go to the school board about the problem teacher.
DEAR ABBY is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

"The Bottom Line Is: I Am Lonely for a Relationship"
I am 45 year-old, heterosexual female, single with no children and a former drug user. Five years ago, I found out I was HIV-positive. Since then I have stopped going out to the bars and dance clubs, which was difficult because they were my only source of romantic social life. Now I find them dark, noisy, smoke-filled and just plain boring. I can't believe I spent 25 years of my life going out to them! I guess being stoned or high made them tolerable.
Currently I stay home at night reading books, watching TV and eating. Mentally and so far health-wise I'm OK, aside from feeling unattractive due to my HIV. The bottom line is: I am lonely for a relationship.
My best friend is a 45 year-old gay male. We have been friends since high school and have always been close. He used to be quiet, shy and never went out to bars or even dated much. However, once he tested HIV-positive three years ago he began going out every night to sex clubs and bath houses.
Although he has sex with many men, he admits he too is lonely. Can you give us both any insight as to why our behaviors and interest may have changed so dramatically due to our HIV status? We can't change our HIV but is there anything we can do to change our habits and meet someone?
A Response to This Case Study
I can understand your concern about being lonely and lacking a clear direction on how to meet and form new relationships. Companionship is a natural desire that never leaves us during our lifetime. Our loneliness reminds us that we are human beings with a great capacity to search for emotional interactions.
However, the fear of rejection can become a combative enemy in this process and a strong motivator in selecting ways to avoid human contact. With the acknowledgement of your HIV status, coupled with your 45 years of emotional growth, it is possible that both of you had evaluated your past situations, and have come up with completely different coping methods to meet your individual needs.
The question to ask yourselves is whether this new behavior can actually be due to your age and social maturity? Or is it a quick simple solution to fear of rejection based on your HIV status? Both responses would be a normal reaction to your current situation.
Research and medical discovery continues to inform us that life with HIV is no longer a shortened life. However, the possibility of having limited time should motivate the individual to assess his or her prior behavior and create planned goals and strategies for the near future.
It sounds like you have evaluated an aspect of your past and rejected it as a future resource. Your reaction could be a normal process considering that you have been attending bars and dance clubs for half your life. These establishments can be troublesome if you are substance-free and attempting to engage in a realistic, non-fantasy based long-term encounter. Your HIV status may have pushed you to evaluate past behavior causing you to then reject the bar and dance club scene as "pointless" as a venue for meeting long term relationships. However when you stopped one avenue of socializing, you did not redirect yourself to any other social outlet. Thus you have retreated and placed yourself out of the arena for any possible social contact.
Both you and your friend seem to be stating, "who wants me now that I am HIV-positive?," since both of you seem to have rejected the social world before it can possibly reject you. I would encourage both of you to develop other social circles where possible relationships may be built.
It is sad that in our current world bars and clubs are for many people their only meeting place. Research indicates they aren't actually a good foundation from which to meet people for forming relationships.
It is important to remember that these clubs are not community or spiritual centers run to help the betterment of mankind. The point of the establishment is not to encourage socializing but to lure people in and encourage alcohol consumption. They are places of business. The fact that they are dark and with generally loud music makes all forms of communications problematic. These can place social development at the low end of the totem pole whereas physical attributes and other superficial qualities are then naturally placed at the top. Provided, of course, that you can actually see who you are looking at within the smoky darkness!
For your friend who is lonely but who frequents bath houses and sex clubs, there may be little pervasive redirection away from these establishments. Where should he go to meet large groups of presumed single gay men? In addition, he may have limited social experience in dating and feel abused by the sting of past rejection.
Although your friend does have multiple sexual encounters, these likely involve little if any verbal communication and are based on interactions with other males as sexual and fantasy objects, rather than realistic human companions. Psychologically speaking it's no wonder he is lonely.
There is direct pay-off for his behavior; he gets basic attention, it's mindless and hopefully he gains a sense of primitive sexual satisfaction. However, over time the individual may become more rote in sexual style, developing less caring intimate interactions and social skills along with emotional growth stunted due to disuse.
If your friend states that he is lonely, he may want to listen to what his emotions are telling him and develop some new social outlets. To find a realistic relationship, one has to develop social skills and seek out others who have similar interests. There is nothing new to this concept, and it doesn't take a psychologist to figure it out. However, it does take a lot more courage, creativity and determination when dealing with personal rejection, and double that when placing HIV into the mix.
Rejection is a part of the total package and one must come to terms with the fact that they will be rejected. Having a healthy belief that you may come into contact with people who don't want you due to your HIV status is very realistic. It does and will make a difference for many people. Rejection and desire go hand and hand just as skin color, religion, family background, type of employment, education, height, weight, body parts and your breath may all be considered when assessing a possible long term love interest.
I'm not going to tell you it's not rough out there -- it is! Nevertheless, one still has to place oneself "out there" to search out others who have common interests coupled with a sexual attraction. Both of you are clearly not doing this. You both have taken yourselves out of the courtship of dating and forming new social ties.
In order to have successful encounters in life you do generally have to take social risks. Dealing with people or choosing not to deal with people or only having sex with strangers may be a choice or reaction to the fear of HIV rejection. The first step is to allow people to get to know the real you slowly, over time. Listen to what your emotions are telling you and let them guide you.
Your HIV status coupled with your age is telling you, "I need more from life, I need more in human interactions, I AM LONELY." You and your friend can develop and work together at uncovering alternatives to your current situations in seeking relationships. Make a list together or separately on the social interactions that you will attempt to do in the next three months. Have fun with it and try to be inventive, even if you don't think they are possible, let your mind go wild with activities that you would like to do with another person or a group. (See examples below.)
Let your mind go wild with activities that you would like to do with another person or a group. Here are some examples:
Lastly attempt to pull back from viewing everything about dating from a negative standpoint when you think of meeting new people and discussing your HIV status. Let go for the moment of the idea that attaining a relationship when you have an HIV-positive status is doomed from the start. You are actually rejecting unknown countless persons before an interaction can even happen!
Don't presume that people are going to reject you for having a positive HIV status. Allow them to get to know you and allow time for both of you to reach a clear understanding of each other's qualities. The best indicator for a good relationship is the element of time. Be patient with yourself and others. Take the first steps now to at least improve your own social skills. Continue to challenge yourself daily in taking the steps to slowly enter back into the social arena of life. Good Luck!

Each year, U.S. News & World Report publishes their annual guide to "America's Best Hospitals." For the 20th year in the history of U.S. News & World Report's hospital rankings, Atlanta's Emory University Hospital has ranked in the prestigious list.
After evaluating 5,000 national hospitals, 152 were selected for inclusion in the 2010-11 list. As U.S. News & World Report notes, what these hospitals have in common is "their ability to take on and meet the most difficult challenges."
In addition to being ranked among the nation's best hospitals, Emory University Hospital placed among the country's best in 11 of 16 evaluated specialties and garnered top 20 placements in five specialty areas– heart and heart surgery, opthalmology, psychiatry, kidney disorders, and neurology and neurosurgery. For a full list of Emory University Hospital's specialty rankings, see the table below:
Emory University Hospital was one of only two hospitals from Georgia that placed among the 2010-11 list of the nation's best hospitals and the only hospital in the state of Georgia to have ranked in more than one specialty area. As Emory Healthcare president and CEO, John T. Fox remarks, "We make a promise and a commitment to our patients and their loved ones each and every day to provide the very best care and service in a patient and family-centered environment. These rankings are but one way we measure our progress in delivering on that promise, and help us to continually improve on our service and challenge ourselves as health care professionals."
We thank and congratulate every member of the Emory Healthcare team that helped to make this achievement possible. We look forward to seeing next year's list as Emory Healthcare continues to demonstrate leadership in patient-centered health care.

(CNN) -- A high voter turnout in Thursday's presidential elections in Afghanistan could help marginalize the Taliban, experts said Wednesday.
Supporters of Afghan presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah campaign in Kabul, Afghanistan.
The militant Islamist group, which ruled Afghanistan from 1996 until the 2001 U.S.-led invasion, has threatened to violently derail the war-torn nation's second-ever presidential election. An estimated 17 million voters, about half the nation, are registered.
In the last week, two suicide car bombers killed 15 people in Kabul, a rocket landed on the presidential palace compound, wounding a staffer, and Afghan security forces killed three gunmen after storming a bank. The Taliban said the gunmen were potential suicide bombers and that there were 17 more in the capital.
If the Afghan people rise above the threats and attacks and turn out en masse to vote, the Taliban's ability to exact fear on the population will be diminished. In essence, a large voter turnout will be a vote of confidence in the democratic process, experts said.
But, warned J. Alexander Thier of the U.S. Institute of Peace, a nonpartisan, congressionally funded think tank, it's a two-way street.
"[Voters are] not going to be able to stand up to the Taliban and Taliban intimidation if they don't believe in the alternative," said Thier, who directs the institute's "Future of Afghanistan" project.
It's imperative the election is deemed legitimate, he said, because if the Afghan people think the election was rigged or predetermined, they will lose faith in an already weak and corrupt government.
"As we increase our military resources there, it will look like the U.S. is pouring in to prop up a leader not supported by his own people," Thier said.
A bogus election - whether real or perceived -- could exacerbate an already fragile political situation, another expert said.
"There's a concern that if they don't handle this election properly, there will be more violence because people are not trusting the legitimacy of the election," said Patricia DeGennaro, who has served as a consultant on policy development in President Hamid Karzai's office.
Daniel Markey, a senior fellow with the Council on Foreign Relations and former State Department staffer, said nothing would better suit the Taliban, which is trying to dissuade citizens from voting in an effort to discredit the entire process.
The group, which has resurged in recent years, also is attempting to show the international community that the war in Afghanistan is not winnable, Markey said.
"The entire project in Afghanistan -- the reason we have tens of thousands of troops there -- is based on the idea that eventually we'll get a stable and effective government," he said. "If it's thoroughly discredited by the Taliban, if it leads to more instability, then the political side of the equation won't come together and the military side won't be enough to hold Afghanistan together."
The Taliban shouldn't be the sole scapegoat for Afghanistan's woes. In addition to U.S. and international mishandling of the situation in Afghanistan, the government of Karzai, who is running for re-election, is seen as corrupt and ineffective, Markey said.
Another problem is the people of Afghanistan, said Frank Anderson, president of the Middle East Policy Council and former chief of the CIA's Near East and South Asia division.
There are plenty of people in Afghanistan who want to see democracy and civil society prevail, but there are more people -- largely in the rural areas -- who have little faith in government, he said.
They want better lives but have far more confidence in family and tribal leaders, outside of whom, they believe, "there is no permanent friendship and no permanent enmity," Anderson said.
"There is a population that lacks the education and opportunities to even conceive what benefit they could get from a modern nation-state," said Anderson, who headed the CIA's Afghan task force in the late 1980s. "They've always been able to prevent a modernizing state force from extending its writ into the countryside."
Perhaps demonstrating the point is that polls indicate votes are going to fall largely along ethnic lines.
Karzai is a Pashtun, Afghanistan's largest ethnic group, while his top opponent, Abdullah Abdullah, is half Pashtun and half Tajik, the second-largest ethnic group.
Experts differ on whether the election will be a landslide or photo finish, but most agree Karzai has the advantage over Abdullah, a 48-year-old doctor who served as Karzai's foreign minister until 2006.
Another front-runner, Ashraf Ghani, has not been polling well. DeGennaro said it's because he refuses to bargain with powerful warlords and elders, a common Afghan means of garnering popular support.
While Karzai's and Abdullah's campaign headquarters have been bustling with people trying to form alliances with the next potential chief executive, Ghani has embraced a more grassroots approach.
"His compound is quite quiet. ... That's why he's not doing well," said DeGennaro, an adjunct associate professor at New York University who has taught classes on international intervention in Afghanistan.
Ghani is the best prospect for change, the professor said. He works with women and intellectuals, embraces Western-style governments and keeps human rights and social issues like literacy atop his agenda, she said.
Karzai, DeGennaro said, is more prone to bombastic promises. Afghans are increasingly weary of the war and violence in their country and Karzai has promised to boot U.S. troops out of major cities and curtail the deadly U.S. airstrikes in Afghanistan.
"It's definitely what Afghans want to hear, but he's never going to implement [his promises]," DeGennaro said.
Not much will change in Afghanistan if Karzai or Abdullah win, experts predict. In regard to human rights, the rampant opium trade and the U.S. military presence - a few of the top issues dogging Afghanistan -- "there is no significant policy daylight between them on the key issues," Anderson said.
There is also little difference in the level of support that either man would receive from Washington, he said, adding, "Irrespective of who wins, the enemy isn't going to stop."
Though Americans are largely buffered from the violence and political turmoil that unfolds daily in Afghanistan, the Council on Foreign Relations' Markey said U.S. citizens should keep an eye on the nation.
"We should care about those troops, but we should also care about stability in Afghanistan so we don't see a return to something that looks like pre-9/11 Afghanistan," he said.
CNN's Atia Abawi and Don Lemon contributed to this report.

UEFA Champions League: Galatasaray v Chelsea
Galatasaray's Didier Drogba faces former club Chelsea for the first time since leaving in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.
Drogba is regarded as a legend by fans of the Premier League club, having clinched European glory in the competition with his final touch as a Chelsea player in the 2011-12 final against Bayern Munich.
Having scored 157 goals in 341 appearances for Chelsea, Drogba ensured a Hollywood ending at the club by converting the winning penalty against Bayern at the Allianz Arena.
However, Chelsea's fourth all-time highest scorer will be aiming to knock his former employers out of the competition when the sides meet in the last 16 at the Turk Telekom Arena.
The Ivorian has 12 goals to his name in all competitions this season, but Chelsea qualified top of Group E with the help of one of the tightest defences in the competition.
Along with Manchester United and Atletico Madrid, Chelsea conceded just three goals in the group stage and have been breached just once in their last five Premier League outings.
Their latest victory - a 1-0 win over Everton on Saturday - maintained their lead in England's top flight, but Samuel Eto'o is eager for his team-mates to take one game at a time in their quest to win the double in Jose Mourinho's first season back at the club.
"We have never thought that we can't win the title, but Jose Mourinho came to Chelsea to do big things for the long run which he is trying to do," Eto'o told the club's official website.
"We players believe that it is possible but at the same time it is not our mission. Right now we are not thinking about other teams or the end of the season, we are just focused on our next game and that is Galatasaray."
As well as Drogba, Galatasaray coach Roberto Mancini also has plenty of experience with Chelsea - albeit sitting in the opposition dugout.
Mancini was involved in a number of clashes with Chelsea during his time at Manchester City - winning six of nine meetings in all competitions - and the Italian has enjoyed a relatively successful tenure so far in Istanbul.
Currently sitting second in the Super Lig behind Fenerbahce, Mancini also guided his side to second in Group B after a dramatic win over Juventus in a delayed game in the Turkish capital.
Wesley Sneijder's goal five minutes from time sent Gala through in dramatic fashion in a fixture put back a day due to snow.
Galatasaray are aiming to reach the quarter-finals of the competition for a second successive season as they compete in the Champions League last 16 for just the second time.
However, they will look to avoid a repeat of Chelsea's only ever visit to Galatasaray, which saw the visitors pick up a 5-0 victory in 1999 courtesy of a Tore Andre Flo brace and further goals from Gianfranco Zola, Dennis Wise and Gabriele Ambrosetti.

We like to think of ourselves as part of a genealogical research community, but what is genealogy and what is research? Sometimes we accept classifications without focussing on what the definitions of the terms used. When does a person become a genealogist? If I were going to call myself a dental hygienist, there would be a pretty well-defined criteria for inclusion in that category of workers. The same would be true for attorneys, Realtors (TM), and other business related jobs or professions. Is genealogy a profession? We do have professional genealogists and even professional genealogy organizations. If it is a profession, then why do so many of us do it for free?
I look at the term in the same way as I have with other avocations such as stamp and coin collecting. When does one become a philatelist and not simple a stamp collector? When does one become a numismatist and not merely a coin collector? Aren't those names just a highfalutin way of trying to be exclusive? So is the term "genealogist" just an exclusive way of referring to people who collect information about dead ancestors?
Unfortunately, the term "genealogist" has abundant negative connotations. In Spanish there is a saying, "He lies like a genealogist" (Mentir como un genealogista). The use of this phrase was in conjunction with those who tried to improve their social and economic status by "proving" a relationship to nobility. With such an inauspicious history, it is no wonder that the modern term, genealogist, is depreciated.
To avoid these historical connotations of unreliability and untrustworthiness, those trying to promote ancestral research have chosen to call the activity "family history." They then spend time and effort to make sure that the public doesn't mistake family historians for common untrustworthy genealogists. In addition, there is a concerted effort by many organizations, both commercial and otherwise, to recast the role of the genealogist as a family historian with an expanded area of activities to be more inclusive that just merely establishing a pedigree. The problem with this approach is that there is even less of a definition for family history. From the promoters standpoint, "family history" is a perfect term because it can be anything you want it to be and how can anyone be against families and history?
When does this change in terminology become a problem? We see this type of activity all the time with what we call "political correctness." Common terms such as "secretary" and "waitress" become unacceptable because of their connotations to the status of women. Garbage dumps become "sanitary landfills" and the examples could go on and on. Did the responsibilities or activities change? No. But the terms can no longer be used in polite society.
This trend is even more pronounced in the world of advertising where huge cultural shifts have occurred merely because of the use of a term. How many diseases and social problems do we have today merely because someone decided they were problems?
Now, is political correctness going to invade the genealogical community? Is it going to become politically incorrect to refer to what we do as "genealogy" because it might be offensive to some market segment or another? In the beginning I ask the question "When does a person become a genealogist?" Now, I ask a similar question, "When and how does a person become a family historian?" Are the two terms inclusive or exclusive? Can I be a family historian and never do any "genealogy?" Do we as genealogists really exclude family history activities. Which term is the more inclusive?

Samsung Galaxy S2: Press and Hold down the HOME button and then press the POWER button.
2. That's it! Seriously, it's that easy! You'll see a message appear on the screen that says "Screenshot captured. Saved as image file". You can then go to your Gallery app to see the screenshots that you have captured in the ScreenCap folder. You can also find them by navigating to the /sdcard/ScreenCapture folder.
If you recently updated your Samsung Galaxy S2 to the latest version of Android 4 ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) the methods above may no longer work. Try this instead:
1. Press Volume Down button & the Power Button at the SAME time to take a screenshot on Android 4.0 ICS. The screenshot will be added to the /sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots folder.
Now go try it out and start capturing some cool images of your Android screens! Leave us a comment if you have any questions.

Jeremy Perry spent three seasons with the Tennessee State University football team. In May 2011, he graduated Summa Cum Laude with a 3.7 GPA and a bachelor's degree in Communications. He spent his final season on the football field as a graduate student, where he currently holds a 4.0 GPA. He was a two-time member of the OVC Commissioners Honor Roll and a three-time selection on the President's List (4.0 GPA). The Memphis, Tenn., native played in 21 games for the Big Blue, amassing 2,313 yards and 14 touchdowns in his career.
TSUTigers sat down with Jeremy to talk about his TSU experience.
TSUTigers: Talk about your overall TSU experience.
J. Perry: As a transfer, my TSU experience was challenging and adventurous. Meeting new teammates that embraced me was a huge step in my adaptation to a new environment. I made friends and made memories that will last a lifetime. My experience really broke my shell and allowed me to find my strengths and weaknesses.
TSUTigers: What do you love most about TSU?
J. Perry: I love TSU's dedicated professors. I will not venture to say that every professor has a true investment in their students, but I have had a great working relationship with most of my teachers. This is very important to a student's growth academically.
TSUTigers: What will you miss most about TSU?
J. Perry: I will miss hearing the band play as I get ready to play in a football game. The band had a way of getting our team to feel enthusiastic about playing anybody. It's almost a feeling of being invincible.
TSUTigers: What is your most memorable football moment at TSU?
J. Perry: My most memorable football moment at TSU is playing in the 2010 Atlanta Classic. Just the energy of that dome was an amazing feeling. Looking up to the seats and seeing so many TSU fans competing with FAMU fans gave me an inner feeling of pride. It had been several years since we had a won in this classic, therefore, beating FAMU in this classic brought a deep sense of excitement for me.
TSUTigers: What is your most memorable non- football at TSU?
J. Perry: My most memorable non- football moment was walking across the stage to graduate on my birthday. Receiving a degree was the best birthday present I have ever received. The thoughts of each college accomplishment I had were all compiled on this one day, and I knew the journey was worth it.
TSUTigers: How do you feel social networking this season play a part in the season?
J. Perry: Social networking is an element that has become an intricate part of our society; therefore, it could not be avoided when it came to game days. We got tweets of encouragement before the game, and tweets of positive or negative criticism after the game. It's fun to have an everyday connection with fellow students and fans. I think this connection affects every player differently. It can be overwhelming for some people, but I think overall it just served as motivation.
TSUTigers: Do you have a favorite TSU fan/supporter? If so, who?
J. Perry: My favorite fans are my parents because I know their demeanor towards will be consistent. They have always been honest with me, and I know through ups and downs of success they will remain faithful.
TSUTigers: What advice would you give to incoming freshman?
J. Perry: My advice for incoming freshman is learning how to sacrifice. The fun will be there every day and night, but the biggest priority should be growing as student. The knowledge received in a college education will carry students into the professional world with the capability to be effective. That effectiveness in society will allow needed changes to be made, but this can only happen through sacrificing to take care of business before pleasure.
TSUTigers: What was your most challenging class at TSU?
J. Perry: My most challenging class at TSU was Black Arts and Literature given by Dr. Springfield. Many days she abruptly ended responses to in-class questions. People tried to refer to the book as their source, and she responded by saying she wrote the book. I struggled to stay afloat in this class, but I managed to pull out a "B".
TSUTigers: You completed your bachelor's degree last year and played your final season as a graduate student. Talk about that experience.
J. Perry: Playing football in graduate school was very beneficial to me because all of my classes were at night. This allowed me to study film and focus on football throughout the day. It was a pleasure to know I was able to work on a second degree while still participating in the sport that I love. This opportunity is not granted to most student athletes, but I was placed in a unique situation and it worked in my favor.
TSUTigers: What are you studying in graduate school?
J. Perry: I am currently studying Sports Administration in graduate school.
TSUTigers: What organizations were you a part of besides football?
J. Perry: I am a member of the Golden Key Club and Fellowship of Christian Athletes
TSUTigers: Who have been the most influential people to you at TSU?
J. Perry: The most influential people to me at TSU have been professor Darren Taylor, Mr. Lee Brown, Professor Rico X.
TSUTigers: What's next for you?
J. Perry: I plan to complete my Master's degree in May 2013 and pursue a career in sports administration, production, or both.
TSUTigers: Once you are an alumnus, how will you stay connected with TSU?
J. Perry: I plan on staying connected with TSU through sports. This is my greatest avenue to stay connected to the school. I value the future of student athletes because I have been in those shoes and know the struggles that come with balancing academics and athletics. I want to remain involved with athletics and FCA. It is important that alumni give insight to upcoming students because experience is the best teacher.
TSUTigers: What do you know now that you didn't know coming in as a freshman?
J. Perry: I now know the power of networking. This is the most important skill that I learned while attending TSU. As a freshman I was extremely closed to meeting new people and ideas. However, I have grown to recognize the importance of creating a network that you can be beneficial to you and others around you.
TSUTigers: What have you learned at TSU that you will keep with you for the rest of your life?
J. Perry: I have learned to respect those that opened the doors for me. Our generation has grown so complacent because of the luxuries we have been granted. Moving forward I will embrace a respect for the people that struggled for my luxury. Hopefully my struggles will open doors for those that come behind me.
TSUTigers: Is there anything else that you would like to say to the TSU family?
J. Perry: Remember that there is only one thing in life that cannot be recycled... That is time! Once God decides to take us from earth, there is no turning back. Therefore, we have to learn to embrace every second with joy because the opportunity to leave a legacy slips further away from us each day.

Prior approval must be obtained on a petition for transfer credit form, provided by the registrar, for all transfers of both elective courses and courses proposed to substitute for requirements. No more than 12 transfer credits will be accepted for any summer session.
Students may apply for a change of major within the Park School after they have earned one semester's worth of grades at Ithaca College. They must follow the same deadlines and application process as transfer applicants who are applying from other schools within Ithaca College (see below). The internal transfer process is competitive, and students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 and be in good academic standing in order to apply for any of the majors offered in the Park School. Having the minimum cumulative GPA to apply for any major in the Park School does not guarantee admission.
Each year the Park School accepts a limited number of students from other schools at Ithaca College. Information and application forms are available in the dean's office. Applications are reviewed each semester at a deadline stated on the internal transfer application, and a decision is made before registration for the next semester. One semester of final Ithaca College grades is required. Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 to apply for transfer to any degree program in the Park School. Having the minimum cumulative GPA to apply for transfer to a degree program in the Park School does not guarantee admission. If a student transfers from the School of Humanities and Sciences, the Park School will accept the course WRTG 10800 Academic Writing Seminar as a substitution for WRTG 10600 Academic Writing I.
Students wishing to transfer internally within the Park School or from another degree program at Ithaca College into the Park School must submit evidence of successful academic work, preferably including one or more courses in the area in which they intend to major.
The Park School accepts a limited number of students from other accredited colleges and universities. For general information about transfer procedures and deadlines, see the "Transfer Students" page in the Student Information section.
Transfer Students
The Park School also has specific articulation agreements with community colleges; see more information on the "Articulation Agreements" page in the Student Information section.
Articulation Agreements
Students wishing to transfer into the Park School (who are not entering through community college articulation agreements) must submit evidence of successful academic work, preferably including one or more courses in the area in which they intend to major. Unless there is an articulation agreement in effect, for these purposes success is generally defined as a cumulative overall GPA of 2.75 after at least one semester of college grades. Because admission to the Park School is competitive, this 2.75 GPA is a minimum standard and does not guarantee admission.
If a student is considering applying to Ithaca College, the Park School associate dean can provide an unofficial transfer credit evaluation if the student sends copies of transcripts and course descriptions from previous coursework. Credit is granted for most college-level courses with a grade of C- or higher. Credit for internships, practicums, workshops, and independent study is generally not transferable into the Park School.
Any number of credits will be accepted, but the following requirements may mean that students will need more than 120 credits to graduate: Students must complete at least four full-time (12 credits or more) semesters at Ithaca College (including the London Center, the Washington Semester Program, or the Los Angeles program) and must complete at least 50 percent of the required communications credits in the Park School. After matriculation, transfer students must comply with the academic policies listed under "Academic Policies" and in the degree program descriptions.
Park School Academic Policies
Specific information about transfer student orientation is sent automatically to all matriculating students by the Office for New Student Programs.
