Invisible Angelic Protection
From the bedroom window she saw them, standing shoulder to shoulder around the house.
Let me say at the outset that Carl is getting professional help at a domestic-violence treatment center. Since I do not want to hurt his chances of recovery, I have changed names and locations to camouflage his identity. Otherwise I am putting down exactly what happened on the night of May 10, 1994.
Carl Broderick and his wife, Marie, were my landlords and next-door neighbors just outside Lubbock, Texas. We shared a driveway, but that's about all we had in common. I drove a 1987 Plymouth Voyager; Carl drove a brand-new Bronco and his wife a silver Cadillac. Their house was large; mine was small. They liked cats and I had a dog, a big German shepherd mix named—more hopefully than accurately—Saint.
With so little to draw us together, it came as a surprise that Marie and I hit it off from the moment I moved into their tenant house. Marie helped me unpack, arrange the furniture in the three-room bungalow, and repair a fence around the property to keep Saint off the highway. She also helped me take down the plywood panels the previous renters had used to block most of the windows.
"Why was the house all boarded up?" I asked.
"There goes my phone," Marie said, hurrying off. But her phone hadn't rung. Later I wondered if the tenants had boarded up the house because they were afraid of Carl.
I was in my kitchen about seven months after moving in when I heard Carl shouting angrily. Then silence, followed by more shouts. A few minutes later Marie came running across the driveway, her long, graying hair loosened from its combs.
"We had a little argument," she said. She looked as though she'd been crying. I asked if Carl had hit her. "Of course not," she said. I wasn't so sure.
Paul Bailey and Matthew Nelson were Marie's childhood friends and both were worried about her husband's behavior too—and her safety. Paul, who lived just up the road, was a bantam-size, take-charge guy who wore a diamond earring in his left ear. Matthew, who lived with his wife in Lubbock, was a gentle, heavyset, long-haul truck driver. I liked both men, even if Saint didn't.
Saint's grudge was with Matthew. Unaccountably, the big guy was afraid of dogs, and dogs can sense attitudes. Anytime Matthew came near our property, the hair on Saint's neck rose and he went into a barking frenzy. It was his "Matthew bark"—not the joyful greeting he gave most people, but a low half-bark, half-growl.
On May 10, 1994, around 8:00 p.m.—maybe three weeks after the shouting episode—I was driving home from my job as a medical technician in Lubbock when I was startled to see Marie running down the highway through the semidark toward me. I pulled over and Marie scrambled in. Her blouse was torn, her hair disheveled, and there was blood on her face and hands.
"Carl's gone crazy!" she sobbed. "He beat me up and smashed the Cadillac!"
The story tumbled out: Carl was drinking and taking drugs again. When Marie reproached him, he began to push her around. Marie ran outside and got into her Cadillac. Carl came after her. He jerked open the car door, grabbed her by the hair, threw her on the ground, jumped into the car and drove it through the side of the garage.
While he struggled to get the dented car door open, Marie ran out to the road. Crouching in the drainage ditch, she'd seen Carl's Bronco roar out of the driveway and turn west.
I wanted to go straight to the police but Marie didn't want "to get the whole world involved." Instead, she asked me to drive her home; before Carl got back she'd pack a bag and find a safe place to stay.
Reluctantly, keeping a wary eye out for Carl, I turned into our drive. I could see the rear bumper of the silver Cadillac protruding from the splintered wall of the garage. Marie ran into her house. When she came out carrying an overnight bag, she told me she'd reached Matthew's wife, who had invited her to stay with them. The minute Matthew got home, his wife said, she'd send him over.

Yes Angels are very real just Like Jesus is REAL Amen
Glory to GOD in the Highest
I'm reading this for a second time, and all I can say is glory be to GOD in highest!!!
God is so good to us
God's Angels absolutely exist and protect us and make us invisible to keep us from harm. They also speak to us, every day, all day long. From the smallest vibrating noise to the sound of tires on pavement, you can find the voice of an angel giving you a message.
Blessings and love always from Angels. . .
~ Mia
I too, believe in angels. Have I ever seen one, no. But, that does not mean they don't exist. I have felt a strong presence giving me assurance not to be afraid in certain situations. I have felt guided to a place of safety, when afraid. When we call on the Lord for protection, do you think He ignores us. Never. The Bible tells us we are loved, perfectly, so how can we doubt Him.
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord. Thank you for sharing! Your story is true. My faith is ever new.
i was about 5 years old when i stayed at a friend's house from school. i went from school as i didn't know were she lived. her dad came home drunk and threw me out. i didn't know where i was so i picked out a bright star and followed it. the next day my mother asked how i found my way home? i told her i followed a star. i had gone through one of the worse parts of Chicago. My brother said, everyone at school
asked him who the two big men were that were behind me. I guess they were angels. sept.1941.
Thanks for this amazing story and comments. Confirms Psalm 91 v.11-12 - what an awesome God we have. Just keep on trusting.
My husband had rough time with prostate cancer, which is in remission. You think that would bring him closer to God, but it hasn't. I know God was there helping the Doctors, but the rest of his healing is up to him. To thank GOD an help himself. I've tried to help him realize our God is awesome. I get to publications GUIDEPOSTS AN ANGELS ON EARTH won't read [use to} says they aren't address to him, so i had them change label to read Jon an Judy still don't read. HE needs help but he won't go to someone who can help. GOD
Judy, I'll pray for you and for your husband- My father is the same way- he also had prostrate cancer that is in remission now. You can't reason with the unreasonable. Only the Holy Spirit will be able to get through to him. Our preaching (unless clearly led by the Holy Spirit using us directly) will only encourage him to turn even further away from God. Surrender him to God because, really there is no other Person who can reach him at this point, other than Christ.
I KNOW there are angels. I am 49 years old. Became a single mom at 17. Was on my own since then. Finished school, worked full time. Then went to college in the evening. Lived out of my car for a year. GOD ALWAYS provided and protected me and my daughter! Then me, my daughter and my son. Once again a single mom. Knowing and trusting in HIM, I never feared going out at night to work, school, or whatever I needed to do for survival. To this day I know that without HIS protection, many bad things could have happened to me and my kids and now my kids are grown up and are doing well. Thank you GOD for your love and protection. May you do the same for the entire world!!
lets praise him every minute of the day.thanks for sharing.
really liked hearing this story of angels and knowing Carl is getting help. had danger coming hear my house one night when I was alone....when I went to get up to check it out...a hand gently pushed me back down and said it's okay....I was instantly in a vision because of the way my room was set up, a vision is the only way I could see this....outside my window I could see a huge warrior angel standing at a post, my porch goes around the house and I knew there were angels all around my house. I went back to sleep, but have often wondered what the evil that wanted to cause harm...saw and thought when he saw those angels. I suspect he couldn't run fast enough.
Goosebumps! What an awesome Father we have!
~This was the first time I had ever read this special submission on Angels.
Thank you so much for posting. I have felt those Angels protecting myself and my sons for years. My youngest is now 18 and will be entering a new journey in his life. I am very proud of both our sons. My husband was arrested for DV many years ago and went through a mandatory counseling program.
Even though he doesn't hit me anymore, he is still a very angry man. I have been praying for him and will continue. I have many decisions to make.
Just wanted to share a little. Thank you for this beautiful submission.
Yes! They are real, and have protected my sons as well.
I would like to subscribe to your magazine.
God Bless you,
Oh DAG,I feel for you . I hope your life turned out well. God does not want us to live in unhappiness..
Our God is an awesome God and I know he sends angels to protect us from danger!
Glory & Praise to our great God and I believe He sends His angels to comfort & protect us. Thank you for sharing this beautiful example of our God taking care of us.
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!

Our government is working hard to reassure us that identity theft is a figment of our imaginations, but if you're a victim in one of those not-so-imaginary crimes, there are proactive steps you can take.
[ RogerGrimes's column is now a blog! Get the latest IT security news from the Security Adviser blog. ]
I recently had several conversations with Shaun Callahan of The Identity Protection Company. I talk with identity protection companies nearly every day of the week, but Shaun and his company came across more personal than most. First, almost none of our conversations discussed his business or how I could drive more business his way (which is the route these conversations take 90 percent of the time). Shaun talked about how he got into the business (assisting others facing insurmountable damage due to identity theft), and he spent nearly all of his time talking about the steps anyone could and should take to minimize the damage.
Shaun practices the shareware model of education. He runs several Web sites that offer steps to prevent and recover from identity theft. All his information is free. He figures that although most consumers will read his information and follow his advice, a few will figure it's easier to let his company do the laborious leg work. Shaun even said that I could reprint all his advice without including a single link to his company. Either he's practicing a hopeful form of reverse psychology or he genuinely cares about solving the problem. In case it's a successful implementation of the former, some of his Web sites include Hello My Name is Protected and Free Credit Reminder.com.
Here's some of Shaun's advice:

Only | SAMHSA
News Home
SAMHSA's Office of Applied Studies (OAS) recently released two short reports on depression.
According to a new report from SAMHSA, recent research suggests a strong connection between depression
and the initiation of alcohol and illicit drug use.
Among youth age 12 to 17 who had not previously used alcohol, those who experienced a past-year
major depressive episode (MDE) were twice as likely to have used alcohol for the first time during
that same year as those who did not have a past-year MDE (29.2 percent versus 14.5 percent).
Among youth who had not previously used an illicit drug, those who experienced a past year MDE
were more than twice as likely to have used drugs for the first time as those who did not (16.1
percent versus 6.9 percent).
Back to Top
Source: SAMHSA, 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health
This chart illustrates that youth between age 12
and 17 were at least twice as likely to initiate alcohol or drug use if they had also experienced
a past-year major depressive episode. For other charts and statistics, read SAMHSA's
short report.
The SAMHSA report, Depression and the Initiation of Alcohol and Other Drug
Use among Youth Age 12 to 17, is based on data from the Agency's 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health
A major depressive episode is defined as a period of 2 weeks or longer during which a person
has either a depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure and at least four other symptoms that
reflect a change in functioning, such as insomnia, lack of energy or appetite, difficulty concentrating,
and poor self-image.
In 2005, 2.2 million youth age 12 to 17 experienced at least one MDE. Rates of occurrence varied
by age—12-year-olds had the lowest rate (4.3 percent) of MDE occurrence; 17-year-olds had
the highest (11.9 percent). Rates were relatively similar across racial and ethnic groups.
Depression and the Initiation of Alcohol and Other Drug Use among Youth
Age 12 to 17 is available
for download on SAMHSA's Web site at www.oas.samhsa.gov/2k7/newUserDepression/
State estimates of past-year major depressive episodes are now available in a short report
from SAMHSA's Office of Applied Studies.
The report, State Estimates of Depression: 2004 and 2005, focuses on data collected from both
youth and adults.
The combined 2004 and 2005 data indicate that 8.9 percent of youth age 12 to 17 and 7.7 percent
of adults age 18 or older experienced at least one MDE in the past year.
Few significant differences emerged in the study in rates of past year MDE among youth or adults
across states. Among youth age 12 to 17, rates of past year MDE were highest in Idaho (10.4 percent)
and lowest in Louisiana (7.2 percent).
Rates of past-year MDE among adults age 18 or older were highest in Utah (10.1 percent) and lowest
in Hawaii (6.7 percent).
State Estimates of Depression: 2004 and 2005 is available on SAMHSA's Web site at www.oas.samhsa.gov/2k7/states/depression.pdf.
Each year, OAS releases statistical short reports on specific topics of interest. For more information
on depression, see the following reports:
As reported in SAMHSA's 2004 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, an estimated 8 percent of adults age 18 or older (approximately 17.1 million adults) had experienced at least one major depressive episode during the past year. Depression among Adults is available at www.oas.samhsa.gov/2k5/
Both these short reports were issued in late 2005.

Jeez. Wear a black belt with brown shoes and some people look at you like you just picked your teeth with a screwdriver. Good thing our cowhide leather Ones Enough Belt sports a two-tone color combo and classic antique brass buckle that works with your black lace-ups and your brown driving mocs. 1½" wide. Made in USA.

Best Uses
I received this belt for Christmas. I had picked it out of the catalog and my wife ordered it. The catalog picture isn't a good one. It doesn't show the belt as it actually is. The one in the picture is darker and that's what I'd expected to receive. This one was much lighter. The only draw back is I wanted to wear it with brown and/or black clothing. You still can but have to be more selective of what you wear. Still, I have to say I love the belt so I kept it instead of sending it back.
Best Uses
The belt is wide and keeps things up - so wide that utility item clips may not grip belt completely and eventually slip off. Not a big deal for most stuff.
Best Uses
This is a very handsome two-tone belt--much nicer than it appears on the webpage!
As the first reviewer mentioned, the overall impression is of a brown belt, trimmed in black, and it would not play well with black dress shoes... But with more casual shoes, brown or black, it works very nicely!
The sturdy construction works well with IWB CCW holsters too.
Right now, this is my go-to, everyday belt!
Best Uses
This is a well made belt, and true to size. As with all belts, purchase one that is at least one size larger than your pant size.
The only qualm I have is more with the description as opposed to the belt itself. The color is certainly dominated by the brown. It looks great, but in most cases it would not look too good with a pair of black shoes.

This ammo is loaded with Gold Dot's bonded core line of bullets perfect for a backup gun for law enforcement personnel or a concealed weapon for a licensed citizen.
Bonding the jacket to the core means the elimination of core-jacket separation and superior weight retention making it more effective than traditional hollow-point bullets in the event that the bullet encounters bone or heavy clothing upon entry. Speer's Gold Dot ammunition is a leader in the law enforcement community for its great performance in the FBI test protocols. It performs especially well in the compound glass angle test that bullets must undergo to pass the FBI's rigid screening requirements.
This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable nickel-plated brass cases.

Just sat in on some of the preliminary live presentations
for the NACCE
Entrepreneurial College in Action Grants, powered by the Coleman Foundation.
The focus this year is on programs that promote the first two steps of the
Presidents for Entrepreneurship Pledge. Grants of up to $15,000 will go to
colleges that create and expand internal and external teams dedicated to
entrepreneurship or increase entrepreneurs' engagement on campus.
From the three presentations I watched, the judges have
their work cut out for them. South Mountain Community College in Phoenix, AZ;
Ivy Tech in Fort Wayne, IN, and Houston Community College – Northwest, in
Houston, TX, all made compelling presentations while I sat in. I'm sure the
other finalists are going a similar good job this afternoon. Winners will be
announced at breakfast on Wednesday. Good luck to all!

The U.S. has been the biggest market for the antenna, transducer, and radome system; in this respect, the recent economic scenario has seen defense budget cuts in the U.S. market as well. Countries in the Asia-Pacific region like South Korea, Japan, and Middle Eastern countries like UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel can drive growth of the market. India and China's market will be tough to penetrate because of their strict government regulations and indigenous programmes in submarine which will affect the transducers market. Russia, with respect to antenna, transducer, and radome, continues to be highly indigenous, with all the manufacturing done by Russian companies.
The overall effectiveness of the mission invariably depends upon antenna, transducer, and radome systems and services. The range of technologies available with respect to antenna, transducer, and radome systems is increasingly diverse and their rapid evolution is driving the demand for antenna, transducer, and radome systems.

CET, Dr. O'dell Owens Gear Up for 43rd Annual Action Auction
Items, Volunteers & Sponsors Needed for Televised Event, April 14 - 17
CINCINNATI – The Action Auction, CET's annual bargain extravaganza, returns for its 43rd year. The live, televised auction will air nightly from April 14 – 17, 2010 on CET.
Though this popular event is a couple months away, preparations are already in full swing. Auction chair Dr. O'dell Owens and dedicated volunteers are calling businesses and individuals to drum up support for the event, which helps support CET's mission to engage, educate and entertain people from classrooms to living rooms throughout Greater Cincinnati.
CET has already received a wide variety of items, including a set of Anirondak chairs, a handcrafted barrister bookcase, a 3-hour Ohio River cruise and new for 2010, the opportunity to have lunch with local "celebs" like basketball star Oscar Robertson and broadcasting icon Nick Clooney.
Also new this year, viewers will find that auction items will be categorized with other like items, making the bidding process easier. As items roll in, volunteers are hard at work to create a more organized and easy-to-follow format so viewers can easily keep tabs on items that spike their interest. During the Action Auction, these categories will be available for preview at CETconnect.org/events and will include an approximate time of sale.
Although hundreds of items are coming in, thousands are needed to make this four-day event a success. CET continues to welcome all donations, including: gift certificates for retail and restaurants, sports memorabilia, furniture, jewelry, vacations, unique experiences, certificates for services, tickets to local events, collectibles and more. A secure monetary donation can also be made online at CETconnect.org/events.
All donations made to the Action Auction are tax-deductible. Proceeds from the event allow CET to continue its mission to entertain, educate and enlighten individuals in Greater Cincinnati through quality programming, multimedia content, curriculum kits for schools and much more.
In addition to attaining items, CET needs hundreds of volunteers to lend a hand with auction-related tasks such as item collection, answering phones during the event, tableloading, running bids and more.

Crystal structure of disulfide-bond-crosslinked complex of bovine hsc70 (1-394aa)R171C and bovine Auxilin (810-910aa)D876C in the ADP*Pi form #1
The many protein processing reactions of the ATP-hydrolyzing Hsp70s are regulated by J cochaperones, which contain J domains that stimulate Hsp70 ATPase activity and accessory domains that present protein substrates to Hsp70s. We report the structure of a J domain complexed with a J responsive portion of a mammalian Hsp70. The J domain activates ATPase activity by directing the linker that connects the Hsp70 nucleotide binding domain (NBD) and substrate binding domain (SBD) toward a hydrophobic patch on the NBD surface. Binding of the J domain to Hsp70 displaces the SBD from the NBD, which may allow the SBD flexibility to capture diverse substrates. Unlike prokaryotic Hsp70, the SBD and NBD of the mammalian chaperone interact in the ADP state. Thus, although both nucleotides and J cochaperones modulate Hsp70 NBD:linker and NBD:SBD interactions, the intrinsic persistence of those interactions differs in different Hsp70s and this may optimize their activities for different cellular roles.

Carol T.
We just spent a week at Beachcomber II and could not ask for anything better in renting the cottage. Everything we needed was there and in great condition. Our little dog loved the freedom of the back yard. The owner was great and so easy to work with. There were (5) in our party and we had plenty of room to roam and a quiet corner in the sun room to read. I would highly recommend any of the Beachcomber rental homes. We will return next year.
Great house and location
We enjoyed this house very much and would stay here again. The house had everything we expected. It was clean and appliances etc. were in good, working order. Location is great. We were able to easily walk to the beach, boardwalk or downtown area. We did have two minor issues... 1.We arrived on an unusually hot day, so it was over 95 degrees inside the house and it took several hours for the house to cool down. Once it initially cooled down, it remained cool for our entire stay. 2.The tree in the yard drops leaves that have prickers on them. The leaves were covering a good part of the yard making that area unusable by dogs or barefoot people. We stayed late in the year. I would imagine that the leaves on the ground are not an issue during the summer season.
Yellow Door and More!
What a darling cottage! For a small place, Yellow Door has everything you need and more! This cottage is beautifully decorated, very clean and conveniently located near the public beach and downtown restaurants. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch, waving to passers-by and chatting with locals and weekenders - everyone is so friendly! We will most definitely be staying at Yellow Door again! PS - The beds, including the sofa bed, are VERY comfortable!

| SAMHSA News
By Erin Bryant
Is substance abuse among adolescents predominantly
an urban problem? According to a recent study, it's
The results of a national comparison of drug use patterns
across various types of counties throughout the United
States dispel the myth that substance use among adolescents
is higher in metropolitan areas.
On the contrary, based on data from the 2002 to 2004
National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), adolescents
in rural and urbanized nonmetropolitan counties are
just as likely to use illegal drugs as their counterparts
in metropolitan areas.
"This analysis is significant because we were
able to take the most detailed look to date at drug
use patterns in rural areas of the United States," said
Joseph C. Gfroerer, Director, Division of Population
Surveys, at SAMHSA's Office of Applied Studies
The redesign and expansion of the NSDUH in 1999 enhanced
its capability for studying rural substance use because
of the much larger sample and better coverage. Previous
studies on national drug use have offered limited information
on use in rural areas, explained Mr. Gfroerer.
Study results were reported in an article, "Drug
Use Patterns and Trends in Rural Communities," which
appeared recently in The Journal
of Rural Health. Mr.
Gfroerer was one of the authors along with another OAS
staff member, James D. Colliver, Ph.D.
"Data from this study can guide treatment professionals
and prevention planners in thinking about where the
problems are and what needs to be done," Dr. Colliver
Data on rural drug use may be helpful to substance
abuse counselors and other health providers in developing
substance use interventions specifically for youth.
Targeting prevention resources to young people in rural
areas could prevent a future increase in drug use among
rural adults as today's adolescents grow older.
In addition, by knowing basic drug use patterns and
differences across geographic areas, care providers
and other medical professionals may be able to meet
the need for treatment services more efficiently.
to Top
According to the report:
Adolescents (age 12 to 17) across all types of counties
generally displayed similar levels of illegal drug use.
Adolescents in rural counties were more likely to have
used stimulants and methamphetamine in the past year
than their counterparts in metropolitan counties. Rural
youth also had higher rates of alcohol and tobacco use.
Ecstasy use among adolescents was higher in metropolitan
and urbanized nonmetropolitan counties than in rural
The researchers also surveyed adults (age 18 or older)
about their drug use. Overall, rural adults were less
likely to have used illegal drugs and alcohol than adults
in metropolitan areas. However, rural adults were more
likely to have used methamphetamine and showed higher
rates of tobacco use.
Overall, levels of marijuana use were similar for adolescents
in rural and metropolitan counties. The researchers
compared risk factors for marijuana use and found that
regardless of county type, marijuana use was higher
among youth who used cigarettes and alcohol.
Other risk factors varied by county type. For example,
in rural counties, males and females were equally likely
to have used marijuana. In other counties, males were
at higher risk for marijuana use than females.
In rural counties, adolescents whose family income
was below $20,000 were at greater risk for marijuana
use. This pattern was not seen in other counties.
For adolescents in all types of counties, the risk
of marijuana use was higher for American Indians than
for whites. In metropolitan counties, American Indian
adolescents were 50 percent more likely to use marijuana
than white adolescents, but in rural counties they were
500 percent more likely to do so.
For more on rural issues related to substance use,
read SAMHSA
July/August 2007. For additional reports
and statistics, visit SAMHSA's OAS Web site at
Data collected from the 2007 NSDUH will be available
later this year.

This weekend the first marijuana tourism company in the United States launched. It's called 420 Tours.
The Denver-based company caters to people who prefer smoking marijuana to drinking alcohol.
Its owners say it's not about coming up with one magical vacation that is perfect for everyone. Instead it allows pot to be a part of just about any getaway. That concept has a lot of Arizonans headed to the Mile High City.
In November voters overwhelmingly passed Amendment 64. Over the weekend, hundreds of thousands of people packed into Denver's 420 Rally.
Matt Brown co-owns 420 Tours. He wasn't the only one looking forward to World Cannabis Week. Tours sold out.
"Clients from Arizona, Florida and Texas probably make up for a quarter of our total attendees," said Brown.
Guests are provided with transportation. A marijuana friendly hotel room, 420 happy hours and that's not all.
"They can be introduced to other locals. They can share product. They can sample all sorts of different types of product and they can do it without fear they are about to get arrested or have their vacation ruined. For us, it's all about having that adult open conversation with our guests and forgetting for a minute that marijuana is something that should be talked about in hushed tones," said Brown.
Brown says the average age of his client's around 40-years-old. The price of a 420 Tour starts at $500.
That doesn't include airfare or the hotel.

Best part of being at SVC
The commitment to teaching, learning, and students which will lift up a generation and ensure a vibrant democratic society.
November 4-6, 2013 - In San Diego, CA, Provost Al DeCiccio and Professor Jeb Gorham became the first SVC presenters at the Annual National Symposium on Student Retention, sponsored by the Consortium for Student Retention Data Exchange (CSRDE) at the University of Oklahoma. Provost DeCiccio's presentation was entitled "A&P Stretch: Transforming a Gatekeeper Course Into a Gateway Course to Improve Retention of First-Year, First-Time Students." Professor Gorham's presentation was entitled "A Multi-Dimensional Framework for Retention: Service-Learning and Community-Focused Laboratory Learning Enhanced Through Student-Centered, Self-Directed Teamwork."
June 2013 - Wrote article on "Dreams Can Come True," which appeared in New England Board of Higher Education.
March 2013 - Attended the Council of Independent College (CIC) Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE) Annual Conference, entitled "Enriching the Theological Exploration of Vocation," in Indianapolis, IN.

November 2011 - Provost DeCiccio was one of more than 100 national and even international presenters at the annual Conference for Peer Tutors in Writing held November 4-6 at Florida International University. In the presentation, entitled "From Interdependence to Independence," DeCiccio described SVC's course apprentices as part of a new effort to build a community of learners and to increase retention at the College. Course apprentices are upper-level students who enroll in a credit-bearing course on peer tutoring and then serve as intermediaries in courses they have previously completed successfully, helping the novice students in those courses to acquire the knowledge necessary to succeed. Provost DeCiccio was aided by Learning Cooperative Coordinator, Catherine Burns, as well as by senior and former course apprentice, Bret Clatworthy, whose youtube videos were part of his presentation. (Contact Provost DeCiccio if you would like to view a copy of the presentation.)
Summer 2011 - Compiled literary texts by the participants in En205: Introduction to Literary Studies.
March 2011 - Provost Al DeCiccio, Humanities Division Chair Scott O'Callaghan, and Composition Coordinator Bryna Siegel Finer presented at the SUNY Council on Writing annual conference in Binghamton, N.Y. Provost DeCiccio opened the panel with a discussion of Neal Lerner's concept of laboratory learning and how the faculty and staff at SVC have interpreted that concept as we redesign the curriculum, which included a workshop with Lerner himself in January 2010.

November 2010 - Was on the dais twice recently at national and international writing conferences, representing Southern Vermont College and its commitment to academic excellence in topics of writing.
From November 4–6, DeCiccio was at the joint conference of International Writing Centers Association (IWCA) and the National Conference for Peer Tutors in Writing (NCPTW) for writing center directors, scholars and peer writing tutors.
As most recent award recipient and chair of the committee that selected this year's recipient, DeCiccio presented the International Writing Center Association's Muriel Harris Outstanding Service Award at the conference. This year's recipient was Dr. Leigh Ryan, Director of the Writing Center at the University of Maryland.
DeCiccio moderated a session put on by peer tutors from the University of Kansas, entitled "Diversity and the Writing Consultant: Awareness, Acceptance, and Celebration." While at IWCA, he also explored a leadership possibility for the anti-racism Special Interest Group/Caucus of the International Writing Centers Association.
He also attended an award ceremony for Neal Lerner, who received the Outstanding Book Award for his book, The Idea of a Writing Laboratory. Lerner visited SVC earlier this year to work with faculty on laboratory learning. DeCiccio, who reviewed Lerner's book from its prospectus status through its final revisions, said the book "inspired my own thinking about the laboratory approach to teaching, which informs our current curriculum revision being funded by the Davis Educational Foundation."

November 2009 - Spoke at the National Park Visitor Center in Lowell, Mass. As part of the Parker Lecture Series, Dr. DeCiccio talked about the influence the Merrimack Valley has had on authors and artists, such as Kerouac, Frost and Whistler.
July 2009 - Offered a presentation about Southern Vermont College, its Quest for Success first-year seminar program, and about how the College's constituencies have created a retention quilt to sustain a connected living and learning community at the 22nd International Conference on the First-Year Experience in Montreal, Canada.

I use this lip mender at bedtime because my lips get very dry and chapped during the night. Since I have been using this product, my lips are soft and supple which is how I want them to be. This is the only lip product that has delivered and I cannot tell you how much money I have spent on lip products trying to find one that would work like this one does. H2O really has great products.

Should Investors Bid on This Company?
Ryan is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
A SWOT analysis is a look at a company's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, and is a tremendous way to gain a detailed and thorough perspective on a company and its future. As 2012 draws to a close, I would like to look at a leader in the online shopping industry: eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY).
- Accelerated Revenue Growth: In 2006, eBay reported revenue of $6.0 billion, and in 2011, the company announced revenue of $11.7 billion, representing year over year annual growth of 14.29%, a trend is that is widely anticipated to continue into the future, with projections placing 2016 revenue at $23.3 billion. This growth has been fueled by an increase in sales on eBay's website and the meteoric rise of PayPal as a distinguished payment option
- Institutional Vote of Confidence: 83% of shares outstanding are held by institutional investors, displaying the confidence some of the largest investors in the world have in the company and its future
- Massive Margins: eBay currently possesses a net profit margin of 27.65%, representing a strong and profitable company; these margins are a result of eBay's pricing power and premium platform
- Cash & Equivalents: At the moment, the company possesses $7.3 billion worth of cash and cash equivalents on their balance sheets, a major upside to the company
- Brand Name: The eBay brand drives the majority of the traffic to the website, and this established brand name provides security to the company as it would take another company years to establish such a distinguished and recognized name
- Pricy Valuation: Currently, eBay possesses a price to earnings ratio of 17.42, a price to book ratio of 3.67, and a price to sales ratio of 5.67, all of which point to a company that is valued with multiples slightly above the average; however, eBay's growth compensates for some of the premium; however, the company is trading at a discount
- Debt: eBay currently holds about $4.5 billion of debt on their balance sheets, a major downside to the business; much of this debt has been accumulated through expansion operations
- Lack of Dividend: At no time in the company's history has eBay paid out a dividend, and the company has expressed no plans of doing so anytime in the near future; this lack of dividend is a major downside to the company, especially in this volatile economic landscape
- Operating Expenses: When a business expands as much as eBay's has, the operating expenses related to running the business will increase; however, over the past 10 years operating expenses have grown faster than revenues, an ominous sign
- Growth in Consumer Spending: In an economic landscape riddled with so much uncertainty and stagnation, consumers have less confidence to spend money. But if consumer confidence was to increase, more people would spend money, increasing eBay's sales
- Online Shopping: Year over year, holiday online shopping grew 16% from 2011 to 2012; a recent report by Forrester analyst Sucharita Mulpuru estimated United States shoppers will spend $327 billion online in 2016, up 45% from $226 billion this year, and eBay is at the forefront of taking advantage of this trend
- Paypal: Paypal is hailed by many to be the payment method of tomorrow, and is one of the fastest growing segments of eBay. PayPal will continue to accelerate in growth as more and more shoppers experience the benefits of the service
- Acquisitions: In 2002, eBay acquired Paypal for $1.5 billion, and further acquisitions are probable and are likely to fuel future growth
- Competition: The online shopping industry is a very crowded space, and competition in this industry to offer the best product for the least amount of money can lead to margin compression
- Fiscal Cliff: If the United States was to fall off of the fiscal cliff, taxes would be raised on all Americans, leaving them with less money to spend, hurting eBay's revenue
- Declining Transaction Commission Rate: eBay's transaction commission rate is widely anticipated to drop sharply in the coming years, forcing eBay to sell more items to produce the same amount of revenue
Major publicly traded competitors of eBay include Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Overstock.com (NASDAQ: OSTK), and Mercadolibre (NASDAQ: MELI). Amazon is the largest online retailer in the industry, being valued at $117.14 billion; however, it carries a ridiculous valuation. Overstock is a much smaller competitor, being valued at only $327.09 million, and also carries an unreasonably high valuation. Mercadolibre has been called the "eBay of Latin America" and is valued at $3.48 billion.
The Foolish Bottom Line:
eBay is an incredible play on the rapidly expanding online retail industry. The company possesses accelerated revenue growth, in addition to both large cash and debt loads. However, eBay pays out no dividend, a major downfall for long-term investors. All in all, eBay may face some short term weakness due to the fiscal cliff, but is a fantastic play on the long term online shopping trend.
