Criminal Justice
The criminal justice major at Wilmington College offers students the opportunity to pursue careers in law enforcement, corrections, probation and parole, and law. Criminal Justice majors examine the institutions, procedures, and techniques involved in the identification and apprehension of suspects, the enforcement of criminal laws, and the reintegration of offenders. They also analyze the rights of victims and the prospects for victim-offender reconciliation.
The interdisciplinary program of study combines course work in criminal justice, psychology, sociology, and political science. In addition to core courses in law enforcement, corrections, criminal law and investigation, and statistics, the curriculum enables students to choose from an array of electives that provide necessary background for career placement and further education.
Internships are available in the sophomore, junior, and senior years at local juvenile courts, probation and parole agencies, correctional institutions, prosecutor's offices, and in administrative settings at the local, state, and national level.
Recent graduates have secured work in probation and parole agencies, court administration, law enforcement, corrections, and other fields.
Criminal Justice courses provide necessary background for professional and graduate training as well as career placement. Students may choose from employment in probation and parole agencies, court administration, law enforcement, corrections, or other criminal justice fields.

American Bombs in the Muslim World: The Real Reason Why U.S. Citizens Were Killed in Libya
Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
If you prefer charade to reality, inquisition to investigation, trees over forest – the House Government Oversight Committee hearing last Tuesday on "Security Failures of Benghazi" was the thing for you.
The hearing was the latest example of the myopic negligence and misfeasance of elected representatives too personally self-absorbed – and politically self-aggrandizing – to head off misbegotten wars and then too quick to blame everyone but themselves for the inevitable blowback.
"So what's the problem?" a friend asked, as I bemoaned the narrowly focused, thoroughly politicized charges and countercharges at the hearing. "It's just a few weeks before the election; it's high political season; I found the whole farce entertaining."
The problem? One is that the partisan one-upmanship of committee chair Rep. Darrell Issa, R-California, and others soft-pedaled the virtual certainty that the murder of four American officials in Libya on Sept. 11, 2012, was a harbinger of more such killings to come. Worse still, few of the committee members seemed to care.
As I listened to the inane discussion, I wanted to shout: "It's the policy, stupid!" The tightest security measures reinforced by squads of Marines cannot compensate for the fallout from a stupid policy of bombing and violent "regime change" in Libya and elsewhere in the Muslim world.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, one of Issa's top lieutenants, stated his "personal belief" that "with more assets, more resources, just meeting the minimum standards," the lives of the Americans could have been saved. Unfortunately for Chaffetz and Issa, their star witness, State Department Regional Security Officer Eric Nordstrom, shot a wide hole, so to speak, into Chaffetz's professed personal belief.
While joining with others in bemoaning State's repeated refusal to honor pleas from the field for additional security in Libya, Nordstrom admitted that, even with additional security forces, the attack would not have been prevented. Nordstrom, a 14-year veteran of State's Diplomatic Security Service, was quite specific:
"Having an extra foot of wall, or an extra half-dozen guards or agents would not have enabled us to respond to that kind of assault," Nordstrom said. "The ferocity and intensity of the attack was nothing that we had seen in Libya, or that I had seen in my time in the Diplomatic Security Service."
For any but the most partisan listener this key observation punctured the festive, Issa/Chaffetz carnival balloon that had assigned most of the blame for the Benghazi murders to bureaucratic indifference of State Department functionaries in Washington.
Also falling rather flat were partisan attempts to exploit understandable inconsistencies in earlier depictions of the Benghazi attack and twist them into a soft pretzel showing that the Obama administration is soft on terrorism or conducting a "cover-up."
There is also the reality that diplomatic service in hostile parts of the world is never safe, especially after U.S. policy has stirred up or infuriated many of "the locals." For decades, as populations have chafed under what they regard as U.S. military and political interference, U.S. embassies and other outposts have become targets for attacks, some far more lethal than the one in Benghazi.
To recall just a few such incidents: Iranian resentment at longtime U.S. support for the Shah led to the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran under President Jimmy Carter; anger at U.S. involvement in Lebanon led to bombings of the U.S. Embassy and a U.S. Marine barracks killing more than 300 under President Ronald Reagan; U.S. embassies in Africa were bombed under President Bill Clinton; and the violence was brought to the U.S. mainland on 9/11 and also against numerous U.S. facilities in Afghanistan and Iraq under George W. Bush.

Couple to Present Art Exhibit in Harcum Gallery
Ivan Schieferdecker and Laurin Notheisen to Show Nature-Inspired Artwork
February 27, 2014
A piece by Lauren Notheisen.
Ivan Schieferdecker and Laurin Notheisen will present an exhibit of their artwork at Harcum Art Gallery March 13 through April 26.
An opening reception honoring the artists is slated for March 13 from 6 to 8 p.m. Normal gallery hours are weekdays, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and by special appointment arranged by curator Hal Shunk, professor of art.
Schieferdecker and Notheisen are a married couple.
Notheisen explained that her work often originates with photographs she takes with the intention of using them in drawing, painting or printmaking.
"My landscape work involves creating the illusion of a place, a beautiful but somewhat disquieting place," she said, noting they are usually natural, interior spaces framed by sky, land and foliage.
"I find the rhythm of shapes and lines made by leaves, grass and branches fascinating," Notheisen added. "Light and the effects of light help to establish the illusion of reality, but the believability of that reality is often challenged through composition."
Indeed, the geometrics of sidewalks, buildings and landscaped gardens are interwoven structures that contrast with the irregular movements of branches and leaves.
"Viewed very closely, my works become marks and value patterns," she said.
Schieferdecker grew up in a small, Mississippi River town surrounded by agriculture.
(LEFT) A piece by Ivan Schieferdecker.
"The cultivated fields were parcels of land creating vast spaces," he said, adding that, whether corn or wheat, each plant was the same as the next and thousands were needed to make a crop. "The river was at its widest and it, too, impressed me with its massive character."
In contrast to this large scale, there were the small vegetable or flower gardens, "patches." His mother frequently chose to plant flowers that grew tall and had shallow root systems. They were fragile and often needed stakes and twine to support the plants. When the plants died, the stakes and twine remained.
"Because of the size of the fields and my point of view, I had a feeling of isolation," Schieferdecker said. "Inside the cornfield, confronted by plants larger than me, I would lose the horizon and all sense of direction.
"I watched the flowers as they experienced weather and seasonal changes."
He noted that the "Patch" series of paintings is an abstract expression of these memories and the "Land Parcels" series references the fields, creeks and river from various distant viewpoints.

It happened in the area of Joseph Avenue and Kelly Street around 3:30 p.m. Monday.
According to the Rochester Police Department, Artis Simpson was standing near his parked minivan when it was hit by a car. His family says he was dropping off furniture to his step-daughter at the time of the accident.
Simpson was taken to Strong Memorial Hospital with a severe head injury. He died Tuesday afternoon.
Police are still trying to figure out exactly what happened leading up to the crash.
We met Simpson back in 2000 when he still worked with the VOC. He was an outreach worker, going out into the community to look for homeless veterans as part of the center's Homeless Vets Reintegration Project.
Simpson was a Vietnam vet and knew what those homeless veterans were going through. He had also worked as a supervisor at a drug treatment center.
Artis Simpson was 62-years old.

SKU:467.138 | Black Truffles LEATHER
3 Review(s)
Write a Review
This Round Coaster Set takes the standard household coaster and kicks it up a notch, giving it a little extra style. If you're looking for a gift for the person who has everything, this might be it! Designed with quality leather and a microsuede backing, our Round Coaster Set comes with 4 coasters and a matching leather holder for storing them when not in use. Hot and cold beverages can damage tables if they're not given something to stand on, and our coasters are the perfect way to make sure your table stays protected no matter what you're drinking. Simple and functional, this Round Coaster Set works great anywhere there's a table, from the office to the kitchen.
Buiten is a striking croco-embossed Italian leather that blends classic style with modern flare. This wonderful leather has a slight sheen finish and firm hand feel offering a distinguished look.
The coasters seem of a good quality leather. I was hoping that the monogram would be a bit larger. Otherwise, they are very nice.
These look nice but aren't absorbent. Also, after one use, the glass left an imprint in the coaster.
Surprisingly (and sadly) veru thin. I expected a thicker pad and more leather. Hence, way overpriced.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

- non-linear dynamics (1) (remove)
- Dynamics of vortices in the two-dimensional anisotropic Heisenberg model with magnetic fields. (2003)
- The subject of this work is the dynamics of a vortex in a classical 2-dimensional spin system with anisotropic exchange interaction under the combined action of magnetic fields and damping. Static as well as dynamic magnetic fields were employed (as dynamical field we used a homogeneous field which is rotating in the XY-plane). The most important goal of this work was to demonstrate that there is a coupling between the inner and translational freedom degrees of the vortex, coupling which is responsible for at least 2 phenomena that we study in detail in this Thesis: 1. the switching or flipping of the vortex polarization (for negative field frequency), and 2. the formation of stable orbits of the vortex center around the center of the system driven by the rotating field (for positive frequency). It was known to us that the polarization can change abruptly its sign under the action of a field rotating in the XY-plane, for p omega < 0 and appropriate field amplitudes. In the Chapter 4 we have investigated the possible underlying mechanisms for this phenomenon. Our main results can be summarized as follows: a) The flipping times do not depend essentially on the size of the system, provided that the lattice is large enough (radius L >~ 36 lattice constants). In other words, the switching of the vortex polarization is not much affected by the presence of boundaries. b) In our numerical simulations we observed a clear correlation between the core magnetization dynamics (the oscillations of the core spins in the out-of-plane direction) and the velocity of the vortex center in the plane of the lattice. c) A diagram of flipping events as a function of the field parameters, from extensive numerical simulations with an OP vortex in a rotating magnetic field, was presented. We found out that in the (omega, h) parameters space there is no well-defined curve which separates the regime where the flips do not occur from the regime where they do. We found intervals ("windows'') of intermittent flip and non-flip events. d) The switching of the vortex polarization can be achieved also by applying a static magnetic field with both in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OP) components. The IP component of the field sets the vortex into translational movement in the XY-plane, while the OP component breaks the vertical symmetry favoring one of the two possible orientations. e) The switching dynamics may be described in terms of a core model which takes into account a coupling between the vortex polarization dynamics and the motion of the vortex center. We showed that a reduced core model, which is valid near the threshold of the IP-OP vortex instability (lambda ~ lambda c), can be mapped to a generalized Thiele equation with an inertial term. f) It is plausible that the phenomenon of switching we described will not be essentially affected by the inclusion of a dipole-dipole interaction. The experimental works on nanodisks mentioned in the Introduction of this Thesis reported the observation of vortices in either of two polarization states, and the switching between them was forced by means of static fields perpendicular to the plane of the disks. Rotating magnetic fields might be used as well static fields with both IP and OP components to make this switching more favorable. In the Chapter 5 we turned to the study of the movement of the vortex in the XY plane, in the presence of the IP rotating field. Attention was directed to the existence of stable orbits, where the vortex stays inside the system in a stationary movement, forming circular limit cycles. We discussed then the failure of the conventional Thiele approach to describe this phenomenon, and this motivated us to formulate an extended collective coordinate Theory, which leads to a qualitative agreement with the results of the simulations. A diagram of the different types of trajectories, as a function of the field parameters, showed the presence of non-monotonous effects and "windows'', like in the case of the switching diagram. We are led to conclude that for some regions of the field parameters space, the system exhibits chaos -which is typical for many-body systems-, though no particular tool of the chaos theory was used to study our discrete and collective coordinate models, from this viewpoint. Our theoretical work qualitatively suggests that it would be interesting to apply in the experiments weak rotating fields like those used here, to control both the mean position of a vortex in larger magnetic dots (where the vortex center could show dynamics) and at the same time the sign of the out-of-plane core magnetization. Future directions of this work may include the use of inhomogeneous fields, particularly with a gaussian localization in a small region of the lattice or "spot'', as a model of the field of a laser beam.

Bertone Jet 2+2 is a family-style Aston Martin Rapide
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Mar 6th, 2013 at 1:30PM
Leave it to Bertone to take a stab at improving the look of the Aston Martin Rapide. The coachbuilder may have done just that with its Jet 2+2 shooting brake unveiled here at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Using the sexy Aston four-door as a basis, the coachbuilder worked the Aston's rear quarters and lifted the roof into a proper hatch, resulting in a machine with plenty of cargo space out back (though rear seat room doesn't appear to be much better than the production sedan). An LED span joins the vehicle's two taillights, and the design looks far more cohesive than the original renderings... Read More

College Money Guru,
I have heard that Congress made the
tax exemption for 529 plans permanent. Is that true, and what does it mean for
those of us who are weighing whether to go with a 529 plan versus other types
of savings to fund education?
You heard right. Buried among the 900-plus pages of the Pension
Protection Act of 2006, passed by Congress and signed into law by President Bush
on Aug. 17, 2006, is a single sentence that removes the 2010 expiration of the 529 tax
This new development should come with a sense of
relief and excitement for all families with children. A 2001 tax law -- Economic
Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act, or EGTRRA -- made withdrawals from a
529 plan completely tax-free when used for college, but established a "sunset"
date of Dec. 31, 2010. Ever since then, I've been trying to assure investors that
Congress would eventually defuse the time bomb. But assurances are not the same
as guarantees. Now that it's actually happened, 529 plans will no doubt see a
surge in contributions.
While 529 plans are not necessarily the best choice
for every college saver in every situation,
they must be placed high on everyone's list
of alternatives. The federal tax benefits are
difficult, if not impossible, to beat. And most
states tack on additional incentives, including
state deductions for contributions and, in some
cases, matching contributions. Of course, it's
up to you to select which 529 plan(s) to use,
and within any 529 plan you'll have a menu of
investment options from which to choose. Prepaid
tuition plans also qualify for 529 tax treatment.
Taxable mutual funds become relatively
less attractive as a college-savings vehicle.
Sure, you have thousands to choose from and
you won't be at risk for the tax and 10 percent
penalty incurred on 529 withdrawals not used
for college. But any earnings are subject to
tax, and they can also have a substantial impact
on financial-aid eligibility. Even if the gains
are eligible for the low tax rates on capital
gains and dividends, you should be prepared
to see these rates increase in 2011.
Thinking about gifting those funds
to your child and shifting the gains onto his
or her return? Think again. The "kiddie tax"
could foil those plans. This law was created
to prevent asset shifting from parents to their
children in lower tax brackets. Congress has
been steadily reducing this option by raising
the age at which the "kiddie tax" applies. Currently,
youngsters 18 or younger, or 23 or younger if
they're full-time students, will be subject
to the kiddie tax.
How about Coverdell education
savings accounts, now known as education savings
accounts or ESAs? You really can't go very far
with them. Even if you see a way to save on
expenses -- 529s generally charge a modest management
fee -- you'll be giving up any state income
tax deduction that may come with your state's
529 plan. You're also be facing age and income
restrictions and a $2,000 per child annual contribution
cap. What's worse, ESAs are still facing a 2010
sunset on several important changes made in
2001. Because of that sunset, you'll probably
decide to roll over your ESA balances into a
529 plan at some point anyway.
If you're confident you'll be using the money for college,
you can't go wrong with 529 plans. Take the
time necessary to learn the rules -- they're
not all that difficult. Then focus your efforts
on finding the 529 plan that best meets your
own preferences and objectives.

The Veilige Veste building was first constructed in the 1970s as a police station. KAW took on the task to recreate the facade with the new diagonally undulating panels in order to help create a better insulated building and a facade that wasn't reminiscent of the old police station. The building is designed with office and meeting spaces on the ground floor, while the residences are on the second and third floors. All rooms on the second floor are oriented around a central roof courtyard so that the girls can feel secure while being outside.
The major design feature that helped Veilige Veste achieve Passive House standards of energy efficiency was the white, diamond-cut panels that wrapped the upper two-thirds of the building. The old police station was very poorly insulated and consumed an enormous amount of energy during the Netherlands' harsh winters. Therefore, these new panels, which are 3 feet thick in some places, add layers of insulation and help to draft-proof the building. The building is now outfitted with highly energy-efficient HVAC equipment, thus making it consume very little energy.

Suitable from 0 months+
The whole family adore Fisher Price toys and products....never failing us!
Fabulous, so much going on with lights etc and the music. Worth every penny.
Good quality product
Although this is one of the more expensive gyms it's worth the price. I had this one for my newborn and he loved it. The music and rain forest sound effects are lovely and it's nice having the option of more than one. It also has lights and leaves that spin round not to mention the detachable toys. The mat also comes away easily and can be washed, but also as the baby gets to big for the gym you can you use the mat alone as just a play mat. My boy is now 2 and we've kept it in the loft for the second one. We loved all the rainforest range, the cot mobile is also fantastic.
The moment we assembled this last week my granddaughter loved it! Have never seen her kick her legs so fast with such wide eyes!! It was the best Easter present for her! And Kiddicare were excellent in every way, will definitely use them again!

Demonstrations sparked by an anti-Muslim video that started in Egypt this week spread across parts of Africa, Asia and the Middle East on Friday. Meg Coker, Adam Horvath and Farnaz Fassihi join The News Hub with the latest. Photo: AP.
Anti-American demonstrations spread to more than a dozen nations across the Islamic world Friday, with protesters storming the U.S. embassy and an American school in Tunisia and a mob in Sudan attacking the British and German embassies as well.
The broadening of this week's protests, sparked by a video made in the U.S. that mocked the Prophet Muhammad but fueled in many places by organized extremists, left three dead in Tunisia, according to police, and dozens injured in protests from South Asia to northern Africa.

In Tunisia, considered a moderate Muslim country and the birthplace of the wave of revolutions that hit the region starting nearly two years ago, the mob that stormed the embassy brought down the American flag and raised the black flag common to militant Islamic movements. American flags also were burned in Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria and Bangladesh. After a second day of attacks on the American diplomatic compound in Yemen, the U.S. said it was sending 50 marines to secure the facility in the capital, San'a.
The regional furor, coming just three days after an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other workers, underscored Washington's diminished ability to influence a region where a number of governments newly elected during the so-called Arab Spring have minimal control over their restive populations.
In many cases, the political leaders and security forces within these new governments have proved unwilling, or incapable, of challenging the protesters and radical Islamist groups that have gained greater license to take to the streets.

Past attacks on U.S. embassies and consulates around the world.
U.S. officials worked to dampen the outrage, and pointed to several areas where U.S. diplomatic pressure seemed to have contained some demonstrations. The White House praised Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi and Libya's leadership for taking steps to restore order after protests on Wednesday in which a mob overran the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, and the attack in Libya.
President Barack Obama also sent a personal message to Turkey's Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, asking for help, while Vice President Joe Biden called his counterpart in Sudan Friday to stress the importance of protecting U.S. diplomats there, the White House said.
"Our focus isn't on an expectation that we can immediately bring an end to the protests," said Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes. "It's on how can we most effectively manage that situation, protect our people and lower the temperature so this is peaceful, then it passes."
But with an election less than two months away, the administration faced growing questions about its policy in the Middle East, just a week after a buoyant party convention in which Democrats touted the president's national security agenda.
Republican nominee Mitt Romney, for one, has seized on the unrest to charge that the White House didn't understand the forces being unleashed by the rebellions that have gripped the region since last year, and should have been much more aggressive to try and fashion regimes that were secular and pro-West in their orientation.
"The political question for the president is: Do undecided voters look at this and say, 'This is evidence of a president who doesn't have things under control?'" said James Lindsay, of the Council on Foreign Relations. "Or do undecided voters look at it and say, 'This is a part of the world that is out of control and it's best that the United States not be involved' ?"

Some analysts saw big challenges in pressing figures such as Mr. Morsi, Mohamed Magariaf, president of Libya's General National Congress, and Yemen's leader, Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi, to cooperate given deeply ingrained anti-American attitudes in their populations.

"President Obama can lean on Morsi and others, but the situation on the ground has moved beyond that," said Steven Cook, an author on the Arab Spring and expert on Egypt. "Morsi doesn't fully control the levers of power."
U.S. officials argued that the unrest this week was not an indictment of overall American foreign policy, but focused on the outrage caused by the Internet circulation of the low-budget video, "Innocence of Muslims," which the White House has attacked for having a strongly anti-Islamic message.
"The people of Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Tunisia did not trade the tyranny of a dictator for the tyranny of a mob," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said at a ceremony honoring the four dead U.S. officials. "Reasonable people and responsible leaders in these countries need to do everything they can to restore security and hold accountable those behind these violent acts."
Islamist groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt have called for the administration to apologize for the video, a step the White House has flatly refused to take.
Many Arab diplomats and Mideast analysts said Washington is no longer dealing with governments that are capable of controlling their populations through fear spread by vast intelligence services and arbitrary detentions. They also said that so many political forces have been unleashed in countries like Egypt, Yemen and Libya that the new leaders are constrained by domestic factors.
That's vastly different from the situation when Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, Yemen's Ali Abdullah Saleh, and Tunisia's Zine El Abidine Ben Ali were in power last year.
Mr. Morsi, the new leader of the Arab world's largest country and one of the U.S.'s closest regional allies, is seen as the exemplar. The Obama administration was incensed by his failure to disrupt Tuesday's attack on the U.S. embassy in Cairo and his unwillingness to initially condemn the violence in Benghazi. Instead, he initially spoke only against the airing of the American-made film.
After a phone call with Mr. Obama, Mr. Morsi did speak out against the violence on Thursday But hard-line Islamist forces, led by the Salafi movement, continued protesting Friday. Egypt analysts say the Salafis and others are seeking to weaken Mr. Morsi and limit his ability to raise international support to strengthen his government.
Libya's government also is viewed as being limited by domestic forces in its ability to act. The government in Tripoli is viewed as perhaps the most secular to emerge from the Arab Spring and as the most pro-Western. U.S. investigators probing the attack in Benghazi increasingly believe the assault was led by Salafis or a militant group with ties to al Qaeda.
Longer term, U.S. diplomats and analysts say the State Department will have to intensify efforts to build bridges among the broader populations in these Arab countries. They fear, though, that this week's unrest could lead lawmakers to pull back from engaging the Mideast's new governments.
The late ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, a fluent Arabic speaker, was held up by some as an example for his commitment to reaching out to all sectors of Libyan society. Some said his brand of diplomacy risks dying with him.
"Chris was all about going into the streets," said Andrew Tabler of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, who worked with Mr. Stevens in Syria. "And he knew the risks."

Jan 17 - The Independent Community Bankers of America has said it strongly supports Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President and CEO Richard Fishers call to restructure too-big-to-fail financial institutions to reduce risks to the financial system. In a recent speech, Fisher said that these overly complex financial firms should be restructured into multiple business entities and that only their resulting commercial banking operations would benefit from the safety net of federal deposit insurance and access to the Federal Reserves discount window.
ICBA has long advocated restructuring too-big-to-fail financial institutions because of the risks they post to our nations community banks, financial system and economy as a whole, ICBA President and CEO Camden R. Fine said. Their government guarantee against failure continues to distort the market and put taxpayers at risk. Policymakers need to act now to address the too-big-to-fail problem because we cannot afford to continue this government backstop for systemically dangerous institutions.
Fisher noted in his speech that 99.8 percent of the nations banks are subject to failure, which ensures that these smaller institutions limit their risk. However, the nations 12 largest megabanks, which hold 69 percent of U.S. banking industry assets, are not allowed to fail because of their size and complexity. The result is limited market discipline and greater risk, even while these institutions enjoy the benefits of the federal safety net. Fishers plan would separate too-big-to-fail firms commercial and shadow banking affiliates and restrict access to the federal safety net to commercial banking operations.
Splitting up and requiring greater accountability of too-big-to-fail financial firms will help reinstate financial market discipline and prevent future crises, said Jeffrey L. Gerhart, ICBA chairman and chairman, president and CEO of Bank of Newman Grove, Neb. The risky practices of too-big-to-fail financial firms have led to a years-long economic downturn on Main Street America and a heavy and growing regulatory burden on community banks. Risks to our financial system will only continue as long as the too-big-to-fail problem exists.
ICBA strongly supports efforts to address the problem of too-big-to-fail because community banks will thrive and best serve their communities and customers in a truly free market. The recent financial crisis exacerbated the problem by leaving the financial services industry more concentrated than ever and by confirming that this moral hazard exists in the marketplace. These phenomena have a direct impact on Main Street community banks and their customers by providing large institutions with lower funding costs and a dominant market share.

Classroom content is as diverse in its scope as possible, so that students can engage and work with themes and issues that are personally important. Students are introduced to visual analysis through the use of composition, color theory, art historical examples and experimentation. I use a variety of assignments that put students in contact with their environment and fellow classmates in order to foster a collective atmosphere in the classroom and on location shoots. The class assignments provide a general starting point for artwork to be organized around, and the expectation is that students will take the ideas further, and learn the tools to articulate them visually, verbally and in writing.

My first classes were with a program working with inner city adolescent convicts being released back into society. I would teach photography as a form of art therapy for the kids to express themselves while transiting in this program. My second class was working with troubled youth at a local high school, once again using photography as art therapy. From there I established myself at Lesley teaching pre-college classes. I live in Jamaica Plain with my dog Kid and cat Mishka.Teaching Philosophy: To help bring knowledge and experience in an art form that is shaping the world we live in to a younger generation. The formality and intimacy of creating a photograph is being lost due to the ongoing use of phones and social media. My goal is to help students learn and experience the tradition of photography. Both creating a hand made print and learning to visually construct and develop a conceptually and technically well put together photo. Also, understanding that not only is photography a career option and life opportunity but is a wonderful way of self expression. In May I will be working with MIT students at the Gavin Foundation for an alternative spring break that consists of the students working with a non-profit and the local community of Southie. The kids will be using photography to tell their story over the course of 7 days and the work they will be doing with the community. My event company, Hat Trick Photography, recently became the official photographers for the Lenny Zakim Fund.

Bryan is currently a candidate for a master's degree in counseling psychology at Lesley University where is a graduate level teaching and research assistant.Teaching Philosophy: When I was a beginning art student, Nathan Goldstein once told me to "forget what you think you know. Draw what you see." With his words in mind as I teach, my approach challenges students to reject their preconceived ideas about making art and encourages them to work in the present moment by focusing on the piece in front of them and nothing else. I believe that students need to be most concerned with how the work develops, not how "good" or "bad" it looks. This way of working forces decision making that are best for that particular image, instead of trying to make the piece reach a predetermined end. I also hope to create a safe atmosphere in which I can challenge students to contemplate the similarity between creating a work of art and the way he or she may go through daily life, specifically comparing their process of problem solving visually to a real life difficult situation.

My Website: www.jackturnbull.com My Blogs: www.jackturnbullstudios.blogspot.com My Email: email@example.com Philosophy:My art training focused primarily on drafting, illustration and painting, but my passion has always been graphic novels. While I am competent working digitally and can mentor students interested in an introduction to working digitally, the class is primarily taught "analog"; focusing on the graphic design tools used to produce graphic novels hand made before computers became the norm. Lesson plans are adapted from exercises designed by golden age cartoonists like Wally Wood and Will Eisner, such as Wally Wood's "22 Panels that always work" or Will Eisner's "Advanced Story Structure in Graphic Narration". The goal at the end of 1 month is the student will walk off having produced 5-10 pages of absolutely fantastic sequential art in full color. My job is to instill a confidence balanced with the teachings of time management to help the student achieve this ambitious goal.
