Deer Hunts with Honey Creek Outfitters
Archery and Gun Whitetail deer hunts at Honey Creek Outfitters.
The Land & Terrain: We have nearly 9,500 acres of upland hardwoods and creek bottoms for your hunting adventure with 4000 of those acres in corn and soybeans. There is also approximately 2000 acres of C.R.P. land mixed between the crops and timber which makes an excellent recipe for mature bucks. All acres are on private property. No public hunting grounds.
Stands/Blinds: Tree stands and tower blinds are set up and ready to go when you arrive. However, if you have a stand that you are extremely comfortable with and want to bring with you, you may do so. Stands are set up on several funnels and bottlenecks connecting bedding areas with food sources and also along crop field edges.
Photos & Past Hunters: Each season we update our galleries with our successful customers. Check out our updated photo galleries:
- Archery Hunting Photo Gallery
- Rifle Hunting Photo Gallery
- Muzzleloader Photo Gallery
- Trail Cam Photo Gallery
Fair Chase: All hunts are 100% fair chase with absolutely no high fences. This is real hunting.
Limited Spaces & Hunting Pressure: We book a limit of 8 hunters in our Mercer county camp which has access to 3500 acres of private hunting. Our Grundy county camp books 9 hunters maximum on any hunting day for 5500 acres. And our Putnam county camp sleeps 6-8 hunters which have access to 550 acres. An 8 point harvest minimum is required with outside spread to the outer tips of the ears. Typically your 125-130 class deer.

CORPUS CHRISTI - The names of two men killed in last night's crash on South Padre Island Drive were released a short time ago by the Medical Examiner's office.
20-year-old Everett Tyler Bailey and 27-year-old Luis Javier Ramirez Jr. died of head trauma after being struck along the highway before the Paul Jones exit late last night.
It's not clear of the Isuzu Rodeo was stopped along the side of the road or had some type of mechanical problem that caused the driver to lose control. This morning police said investigators are also looking at the possibility that alcohol or speeding may have played a role in the crash.
At some point the Isuzu was hit hard by a Chevy Silverado 3500. Both men in the SUV died at the scene. A Chevy Silverado 1500 and a Volvo S80 were also involved in the crash. Police say two others suffered injuries, but are expected to survive.

From Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
-- Turkey permits issued through the spring turkey preference drawing number totals 137,598 for Wisconsin's spring wild turkey season.
Postcard notifications to successful applicants have been mailed. Hunters who do not receive a postcard by mid-February can check the status of their permit application by calling the Customer Call Center at (888)936-7436 from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, or check online.
A total of 234,568 permits are available for the spring season, including left-over permits to be made available through over the counter sales beginning March 19. This is an increase from the 226,249 permits available during the 2011 spring season.
Additional hunting opportunities will be available to turkey hunters this spring, expanding each time period to seven full days; the season runs April 11 through May 22. It is divided into six, 7-day time periods, each running from Wednesday through the following Tuesday.
A total of seven zones, 17 state parks and Fort McCoy will be open for hunting. Hunters are reminded that the Fort McCoy spring turkey hunting season is managed separately from the Wisconsin spring turkey hunt.
Hunters who do not receive an approval to hunt turkeys through the state drawing in a Wisconsin turkey hunting zone for the 2012 spring season are eligible to apply for a spring permit at Fort McCoy. Applications can be obtained calling (608)388-3337 or by visiting the Fort McCoy website.
Hunters harvested 40,133 turkeys during the 2011 spring season. Final harvest numbers for the 2011 fall season will be published in the Big Game Hunting Summary in the spring of 2012.
The youth turkey hunt April 7 and 8 expands the mentored hunting program created in 2007 to provide youth under the age of 16 with an opportunity to hunt turkeys by working closely with an experienced mentor before the regular season opens.
Youth are allowed to hunt in the turkey management zone for which their permit is valid, regardless of the time period for which their permit is issued Youth ages 12 to 15 who have already completed hunter education may hunt during the Youth Hunt while accompanied by an adult aged 18 or older.
Youth hunters aged 10 and 11 may now also participate in the 2012 Youth Turkey Hunt without first having completed hunter education, as long as they do so with a qualified adult mentor and follow the rules laid out under the laws of the program. Each youth must have a valid spring 2012 turkey harvest permit, license and Wild Turkey Stamp.

SUMMARY: Almost every B2B marketer has been in this same situation: it is one week before the big trade show where you plan to have a booth, and at the last minute the show organizers send you a mailing list of pre-registered attendees.
What can you do with that list quickly and cheaply to maximize your booth's effectiveness?
Software marketing expert Margaret Herndon decided to run a quick test. She sent a "visit-our-booth-to-win-a-Palm" offer to 50% of a list, and a "visit-our-Web-site-first" offer to the other 50%.

UW-Eau Claire students bring 'Music + Memories = Magic' group to local communityMay 21, 2012
EAU CLAIRE — A group of social work students from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire is working on an initiative to bring music, memories and magic to local community members with Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
The group is collecting old, but functional iPods, along with over-the-ear headphones. The iPods will be programmed with songs that match each resident's lifelong music tastes.
"Social workers are committed to advocating for an enhanced quality of life for all people, and especially for populations with special needs," said Dr. Donald Mowry, professor of social work. "I was thrilled when this group of students did not hesitate to commit themselves to this 'Music + Memories = Magic' project, as it demonstrates that they have the value base that will enable them to become skilled and competent professionals."
The student group consists of sophomore Kristina Malec, Eau Claire, junior Jill Krieg, Menomonie, junior Timothy Shaw, Marshfield, sophomore Isaiah Draeger, Eau Claire, and sophomore Emily Miller, Chatfield, Minn. The students have collected 10 iPods so far and have written a grant for 20 headphones for the first phase of the project.
The students plan to continue their efforts to collect iPods again in the fall.
Malec said that the program is about helping the community, since so many individuals have a connection to someone with a long-term disease.
"I think the 'Music + Memories = Magic' project brings so much support from our peers and faculty because many people have a loved one in their lives who suffers from Alzheimer's or dementia. So in a way, we're not doing this to just help the individual, we're doing this to help a family and a community."
Draeger said the issue is very personal for him, and the inclusion of music is what makes the initiative so special.
"The very sight of seeing a person's eyes light up and produce a smile because of exposure to music is a heart-felt renewal of their past joys," Draeger said. "Music truly is a universal language, and our hope is to foster some joy and hope for people with dementia and their families. We also want to raise awareness of dementia in our community and for dementia caregivers; we want them to know that people really do care about their wellbeing."
Miller volunteers at a nursing home and feels that music is a simple addition that can make a difference in the lives of residents. She hopes bringing the program to Eau Claire can help it spread even more.
"We feel that if we jump-start a program here it could spread, and that is what I am really looking forward to," Miller said.
The students' "Music + Memories = Magic" program is a replica of the efforts of social worker Dan Cohen, who has been using technology and music to improve the lives of long-term care patients since 2008.
For more information about the UW-Eau Claire "Music + Memories = Magic" project, contact Emily Miller at email@example.com or Kristina Malec at email@example.com.

Are you wondering how to teach writing in your Homeschool?
As homeschooling parents, we sometimes worry if we are doing enough, how to include grammar in writing lessons - and whether we can base language arts lesson plans on literature. The answer is "yes" and I urge you to keep it simple. Follow this simple and yet effective plan.
Here's my 10 Step Outline which might work in your family!
Of all the how-to-questions about teaching as home educators, I think how to teach writing holds the most fear.
How can you teach writing?
Below is just my simple outline of how I see the Writing process and the steps involved in teaching writing.
Of course, there are a number of ways how to teach writing and the specific writing skills and I will deal with those at the end of the page. Firstly I want to describe the general progression involved in the writing process.
Let me now expand on these above topics on how to teach writing.
The only Handwriting books I have used and enjoyed using are the "A Reason for Handwriting". These books are based on Scripture verses. They teach correct formations over Days 1-4, copying the words in a Bible verse, and then culminating in Day five in which they write the whole Bible verse on a Scripture Border Sheet. This program covers how to teach writing concentrating on both the letter formations and words but at the same time, learning Scripture.
Teaching Writing: Structure and Style is a video seminar for teachers and parents presenting a system of structural models and stylistic techniques applicable for students of all ages and aptitudes. Have you used this curriculum? Add your review Here.
Below are some ways to teach writing style.
Stylistic elements add interest to writing.Adding stylistic elements in order to teach writing are ways of enhancing your writing and adding variety. I have a specific writing lesson every week and in this time slot, I slowly build on the list of elements we can use to add interest to our writing. It is too overwhelming to deal with all the elements at once, but when they are introduced slowly and referred to each week, they can become a part of your child's writing. Remember, you do not teach writing overnight.

Patients and the community have told us that they want PinnacleHealth's quality and experience,on the West Shore. By building a hospital, as well as adding private rooms, family-designated waiting rooms, transport, pre-op and recovery areas, we can accommodate that request.
"This facility will meet a true need within the community and will be a full-service hospital providing excellent care," says Mark Barabas, FACHE, senior vice president of Operations and chief operating officer at West Shore Hospital. "We anticipate that, with the surgeons and technology available, we will be able to make a range of medical procedures, including orthopedic surgery, much more convenient for West Shore residents."

I would like to take this opportunity to thank several members of our community for their generosity in donating time and products to our Curbside a Meal fundraiser benefitting Mammoth High School Football.
Times are tough for businesses and individuals and despite the challenges, our community came together with donations and time commitments to make it happen.
The following businesses helped to make the tri-tip dinner a success: Rafters, CJ's Grill, Grumpy's, Mammoth Mountain, Roberto's, Good Life Café, Toomey's, and John's Pizza.
With the economy the way it is, all sports programs in the schools are now required to be financially self-sufficient. Without the support of our community like that shown for our Curbside a Meal event, we would not be able to continue with the football program.
We will be hosting our annual MHS Football Golf Tournament August 5 at Sierra Star and we look forward to seeing many of you there!
Thank you, again, for showing your commitment to our athletes by participating, donating, and purchasing a meal at the event!
Marty Thompson, coaches, parents, and studentsView more articles in:

Short Film Night, Feb. 20th –
Short-Film Night
Ray Pointer was with us, to show us the documentary he had made about the school-house that was at the center of the community, all these years ago. This was a small & integrated community, a hundred years before racial equality was fought for (Martin Luther King) and civil rights were finally established (under Lyndon Johnson, president). An impressive half-hour documentary that touches on many deep and important issues. Thank you Ray for coming out to share this unique work with us. At Story Cafe we would love to hear more from Ray. We would love to interview him at some time, as part of our Community Interview series. For more info on Ray and what he is working on, go to: http://www.inkwellimagink.com
Next Short-Film Night is Thursday March 20th, starting (soon after) 7 pm.

Fabulous contributions by Kyle Keillor, Kristin Lancaster, Rootboy, Micki Kelly and Tod Mercer.
An evening with very personal material at times, and impressive contributions. At Story Cafe we hope to see & hear all these poets again SOON. Poetry is a powerful medium to open up amazing and vastly different personal 'worlds' – what a privilege to be invited into those worlds and be amazed & surprised.
Next Poetry Night is Tuesday evening March 18th.

Money has great power in our lives and, when used wisely, helps us meet our goals, provide for our needs, and fulfill our life purpose. But in recent years, many of us ignored this when managing and spending our money. We found ourselves spending tomorrow's money today. The result of all of this was not greater happiness but greater stress and anxiety.
Enough is an invitation to rediscover the Bible's wisdom on prudent financial practices. Find the keys to experiencing contentment, overcoming fear, and discovering joy through simplicity and generosity.

Salvador Dali Exhibit at the Martin Lawrence Gallery
Born in 1904 in Figueres, Spain, Salvador Dali was one of the most important leaders of the Surrealist art movement. Dali's work is renowned for its striking combination of bizarre dreamlike images and skilled craftsmanship. His art is as aesthetically innovative as it is intellectually rigorous. The gallery is proud to present a rare exhibition of original prints and unique works by this modern master.

The Cruise-Holmes saga is only beginning to play out.

The Samsung Galaxy S III LTE (GT-l9305) Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update is now rolling OTA
Since this actually means that existing S III units will leapfrog Android 4.2, you can imagine that quite a few new goodies are coming our way. Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't really subscribe into all that changelogs-type-business, so there's no official list, though the good folks over at SamMobile have compiled a pretty extensive list of what they've found to be changed. Perhaps most important are the cosmetic changes – the UI has been updated, and now appropriate the Galaxy S4/Note 3 theme elements – and the addition of garbage collection with fstrim support. TRIM helps a great deal when aging devices (like the S III) are concerned, as these that suffer poor storage I/O performance after a while. In other words, expect some tangible performance boost with this update. Check out the full list below.
It's likely that only a few of you have already received the update prompt just yet, however. You could try to force an update check manually, by going into Settings > More > About Device > Software update > Update, but you'll probably have to wait a while. Moreover, if you're locked to a carrier, it will take even longer as your service providers needs to do some work as well. Either way, you can keep track of which countries/carriers have started receiving the new firmware with SamMobile's ingenious tool right below.

how long will it take Verizon to get this out?

It is coming at least. Keep in mind that while the GS3 might have the same name, the international and US variants are nearly entirely different phone's inside.

Probably the best value for money Android around the GS3 LTE (I9305). :)

Yes, it is. It is very very capable. It does not lag all and it handles everything you throw at it flawlessly.
7. cripton805 (Posts: 997; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
I didn't know they sold unlocked versions of the LTE models in the US. If this article is talking about unlocked phone in the US.
8. bwhiting (Posts: 173; Member since: 15 Jun 2013)
Sprint customers got theres around 3 days ago if I remember correctly at work. Verizon will be in about a couple of days I think since they usually try to make sure they work out the kinks for their version on the update.

This is for the international LTE model, not carrier specific models. The Sprint model is named SPH-L710, not GT-I9305.

RALEIGH – A big crowd of educators and supporters formed outside the Legislative Building to protest proposed cuts to the state's education budget
Governor Bev Perdue and State Schools Superintendent June Atkinson joined a crowd of thousands across from the state legislature building for the North Carolina Association of Educators "One Voice" rally.
The rally drew educators, parents, students and lawmakers from all around the state. They were protesting state budget cuts to education. The group says the state has already lost 15,000 jobs in public education over the past two years.
"Our being able to serve the needs of all students is dangerously thin, and the proposed cuts to public education put us on thin, thin ice." State Superintendent June Atkinson said as she addressed the crowd.
The group is worried about a House budget that could leave thousands of education workers unemployed. Teachers assistants are especially vulnerable.
"The teachers assistants aren't just there to do paperwork," said Ophelia Wright, a third grade teacher in Rockingham County. "They make a really big impact on the students just as well as the teachers."
In addition to the personnel cuts, many at the rally were concerned about the possible elimination of the North Carolina Teacher Academy.
"It's the state's responsibility to help train these teachers to help keep them on the cutting edge, and that's what we try to do at the Teacher Academy," said Teacher Academy Assistant Director Sid Baker.
Flanked by students, Governor Bev Perdue said the state's history is still being written.
"These children will write the next generation of North Carolina's success or failure," Perdue said. "I understand clearly that for this state to have a decent chance in a global economy we have to have you in every classroom in North Carolina doing the job of educating our children."
The group is urging lawmakers to consider keeping the temporary one-cent sales tax in place, instead of making cuts to education.

Zillow to buy real-estate website StreetEasy for $50 million
The move expands the Seattle company's presence in the pricey New York housing market.
Bloomberg News
Zillow, operator of the largest U.S. real-estate website, agreed to acquire StreetEasy for $50 million in cash to expand its coverage of the New York market.
StreetEasy has about 1.2 million monthly unique users, primarily residential real-estate shoppers in the New York region, the companies said in a statement Monday.
Seattle-based Zillow, which reported 61 million unique visitors at the end of July, separately announced a secondary stock offering.
Facing increased competition from Trulia and other listings providers amid a housing-market recovery, Zillow has been making acquisitions to maintain growth.
Chief Executive Spencer Rascoff said purchasing StreetEasy can help Zillow rapidly expand its presence in the largest U.S. market and use its sales team to bolster advertising and subscription revenue faster than StreetEasy could as an independent company.
"You can't lay claim to being the No. 1 real-estate site nationwide without being No. 1 in New York," Rascoff said. "We've coveted StreetEasy for several years."
Zillow, which bought San Francisco-based HotPads in December for $16 million in cash, said it may use proceeds from the share offering to make deals that complement its business.
Zillow stock fell $6.48, or 7.1 percent, to $84.74 at Monday's close. The stock has more than tripled this year.
Founded in 2006, closely held StreetEasy has 34 employees and provides for-sale and for-rent listings through partnerships with the largest brokerages in New York. The deal is expected to close in the next few weeks.
Zillow's 20 employees in New York will move into StreetEasy's office, Rascoff said.
Most of StreetEasy's employees are equity holders in the company, said Zillow spokeswoman Dawn Lyon.
StreetEasy had about $2.9 million of venture-capital backing from investment firm FA Technology Ventures, she said.
The StreetEasy purchase "opens the door to potentially lead the New York City market," said James Cakmak, an analyst at Telsey Advisory Group in New York. "But they're paying $50 million for about 1 million users, and that's a little expensive."
The acquisition will allow Zillow to expand into the rentals market, and the company will likely use the stock offering to help pay for it, said Cakmak.
His company doesn't have a rating system.
Zillow plans a 2.5 million offering of Class A common stock and said an additional 2.52 million of shares will be sold by existing shareholders.
It priced the offering late Monday at $82 a share.
Zillow intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions or investments in technology and businesses that complement its existing operations, according to a statement.

There isn't a second of filler anywhere on this record so far as I can tell. Each track offers some new hidden nuance or hook or complicated wisdom that you didn't hear the last time around.
Fed Through The Teeth Machine is a clean sweep. Great tunes from beginning to end.
Deflotate is a solid, heavy record and is enjoyable all-in-all.
Fun Fact: Sirenia is the order of herbivorous mammals that we commonly refer to as sea cows. If I were a marine biologist, I'd certainly be wondering why the fuck a band would choose this name. However, my limited knowledge of Greek mythology tells me that Morten Veland chose it for reasons other than an infatuation with sea cows...
Skeletonwitch are well-skilled in punching out kick-ass old school thrash riffs, and though Breathing The Fire may sound dated, it is all-in-all a nicely executed release.

Watch: Simmons Speaks Founder's Day Video
Every October 30th, we celebrate the birth of the College's founder, John Simmons. He was an innovative businessman who made his fortune in the mid-1800s by inventing ready-to-wear suits in standard sizes. Decades before women were allowed to vote, Simmons had another revolutionary idea: that women should receive a college education in preparation for a life of independence and purpose. His will established Simmons College, setting the stage for generations of learning and empowerment. As we honor Simmons's legacy, see what our community has to say about the transformative power of the education he made possible.
Decades ago, breast cancer was a topic so taboo that it wasn't discussed in polite society. As a result, many cases weren't found early enough and women suffered when they might have been saved. Now October is awash in pink, the signature color of the Breast Cancer Awareness movement. This ubiquity represents years of positive action in women's health and reflects our shared passion for improving the lives of women and girls worldwide.
But did you know that October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month?
According to the Centers for Disease Control, 1 in every 4 adult women has experienced intimate partner violence, physical or sexual assault at the hands of a spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend. And women who are assaulted before age 18 are twice as likely to have abusive partners as adults. It's a public health crisis claiming almost 2,500 lives a year, and a vicious cycle that can only be stopped when we address the issue together.

Support our Sharks as they row their way into Boston history during the storied Head of the Charles Regatta October 19-20. This iconic race is the largest of its kind, featuring more than 8,000 rowers from around the world and drawing an anticipated 300,000 spectators. Current students, alumnae, and even Coach Nik Kurmakov will be competing throughout the weekend.
To help promote the race, the Simmons crew team created a 60-second video of the course from a rower's perspective for Boston.com.
"This is a very exciting weekend for Boston and for the world rowing community," explains Coach Kurmakov. "Simmons has been training well and looking forward to competing."
See the full schedule of races featuring members of the Simmons community.
Pull for our Rowers
Simmons alumna -- and former crew team member -- Amanda Milad '11, shared some insider tips for watching the race:
This is the best weekend of the year--go out and enjoy it! The Weeks footbridge near Harvard and the Elliot Bridge near the finish line are the best spots to watch the regatta (and occasionally you can see a good crash on those two turns). Head over to the finish line area (known as FALS) to check out the Expo tent full of good vendors and see all the different teams launching. Over 100 boat trailers are parked near the finish line and it's really great people watching.
My favorite thing to do regatta weekend is get out early--even before racing starts, get a coffee and walk around and enjoy the first few races before it gets too crowded. The first races on Saturday are the veteran singles--amazing men and women who have been racing for decades and Sunday morning are the para races (para is the new term for adaptive rowing). If you only have a few minutes to watch--the BU bridge is just a short walk from Simmons and if you stand on the downstream side (which is the side that looks over the BU boathouse), you can see the boats lining up and starting the race. Hundreds of boats in the Charles River basin, ready to start the race of their lives.
It's time for our latest installment of "Where are they now?" This series chronicles the amazing things Simmons College women are accomplishing after graduation.
Meet Brittany (Oheim) Reese [right, with Rachel (Shafman) O'Neill, '07, at Brittany's June 2013 wedding], a Chemistry major from the Class of 2008. She currently works as a Associate Account Manager at Dovetail Health, a care management healthcare company that partners with major insurance companies to offer readmission prevention care to recently discharged hospital patients. We had the chance to ask her a few questions about what it's like to work in the healthcare industry.
- What is a typical day like at your job?
- A typical day here really doesn't exist. The culture is so friendly and people oriented that everyone is always willing to wear multiple hats to support others in accomplishing a project or task. Everyone is also focused on a main goal, which is helping people. My regular day to day functions include organizing meetings, interfacing with clients, and doing what I love most - crunching numbers in Excel.
- How was the job application process like for you?
- Like anyone who has graduated in the past four years, I struggled when I was out of school. I lived at home for a bit and it took me a solid six months before I landed my first real job. At Dovetail, the application process was so easy. My husband had actually applied first in the IT department and I followed suit when I saw its openings. We got hired a week apart! He has since moved on to a different company, but it was fun to work together for the time we did. Having tools like LinkedIn for networking are also great; I was able to connect with lots of wonderful people in the industry and got recommend for this job by a former employee. One of the things to really set you apart is creating a unique cover letter for each application. Every company has different styles and you never know what might pique their interest so you don't get lost in the mass pool of candidates. I also love the blog Ask A Manager (askamanager.org), written by Alison Green. It's filled with tons of valuable advice and she answers any questions you could possibly have. I feel like I've learned so much from it, especially questions I thought I knew the answer to already but ended up being totally off base.

Watch: Highlights from 'Colors of Success'
Each fall, the Multicultural Affairs/Office of the Dean for Student Life gathers the Simmons community for "Colors of Success" - a celebration of the myriad achievements of our diverse student body. One of our most powerful and touching traditions, the event brings together students, faculty, administrators, and even some returning alumnae to share in and support each other's successes.
This year's event began with an ice-breaker designed to build connections among participants by exploring the origins of their names. Jordan Peterson, a member of the student Slam Poetry group, performed a spoken word piece about her namesake Michael Jordan that united the room in rousing applause.
A common theme of the evening was the importance of mentorship.
A panel of undergraduate students from several multicultural student organizations - such as Organizacion Latino Americana (OLA), the Asian Students Association (ASA), the Black Students Organization (BSO), and the Like Minds Coalition - praised the role models and organizations that helped them succeed at Simmons. They cited the Admissions team, the Scott Ross Center for Community Service, counselors, faculty, and the Multicultural Overnight Student Travel (MOST) program as key players in their development, and encouraged others to get involved.
Dean Renee White recognized the many ALANA (Asian, Latino, African American and Native American) students who made the deans list last Spring - a list almost three pages long.
Renee Gadsen, assistant director of undergraduate admissions, acknowledged our Boston 2013 Scholars, who received full scholarships to attend Simmons. Gadsen also encouraged students to be mentors and seek mentors during their time at Simmons and beyond.
Students put those recommendations into practice at the end of the event when they each exchanged contact information with another attendee they'd never met. Each promised to keep in touch, forging more bonds within our multicultural community of mentors, supporters, and friends.
Watch: The Simmons Community weighs in on their favorite women in politics.
The Simmons College community has a long tradition of political awareness and empowerment; we've been educating informed, independent leaders since before women had the right to vote.
It's important to remember how far we've come, recognize how much is still yet to be accomplished, and realize what inspires women and girls to get involved in the political process. That's why Simmons worked with the Grimke Event Committee to present How Women Become Political on Monday, October 7.
The event marked the 175th anniversary of when Angelina Grimke became the first woman in the United States to address a legislative body. Grimke delivered a series of powerful speeches to the Massachusetts state legislature in opposition to slavery. Her courage and convictions have galvanized generations of women. What other trailblazing women inspire our students, faculty and staff? Hear about them in the first video from our new Simmons Speaks series.
Event Information
Speakers and panelists included:
- Gloria Steinem, feminist, activist, author
- Elizabeth Warren, U.S. Senator from Massachusetts
- Ayanna Pressley, Boston City Councilor at-Large
- Ambassador Swanee Hunt, Chair, Political Parity
- Kerry Healey, President, Babson College, co-Chair, Political Parity

Man gets life plus 20 to 40 years in Fort Pitt Inn shooting
Updated On: Feb 19 2014 12:11:14 PM EST
A man has been sentenced to life in prison plus an additional 20 to 40 years in a western Pennsylvania bar shooting that killed one man and wounded two others.
Twenty-six-year-old David Mazzocco of Imperial was convicted in Allegheny County in November of first-degree murder, attempted homicide and aggravated assault in the March 2013 shootings inside the Fort Pitt Inn.
Authorities said 29-year-old karaoke DJ James Adams was killed and another man was left blind and partially deaf. Judge Donna Jo McDaniel called the shootings "excessively senseless and excessively cruel."
Mazzocco's mother, 61-year-old Gloria Mazzocco, was convicted of providing the weapon used although prosecutors said she knew her son wasn't allowed to have a gun because of his mental problems. She is scheduled for sentencing next month.

So many lines, so little time
April 3, 2012
Lately this has been a recurring event at Desert Vista; not only in the cafeteria but all across the campus. Students upon students line up in the cafeteria and outside the library in wait for the turn. The time has come to speak up: Is it too much?
"Waiting in line can be a pain," Kacey Curtain said, "I usually go to the library to study for any tests I have after lunch, but now waiting in line takes up all my time." Waiting in line can take up too much time, which is why people are opting for other ways to study. "If I have to study I'll just study at my lunch table. There is no worrying about lines and sometimes your friends have to study for the same test as you so you can help one another," Maddy Patrick said.
Other than the library lines, other things can be a pain too, like the lunch line. "The lunch line isn't too bad if you get here early," Madi Jones said, "If you get here early the line is nice and smooth and quickly but after everyone gets here it gets really crowded and the lines start to get unorganized, sometimes it even gets claustrophobic."
The lines here at DV can get very annoying, especially when you're crunched on time, but here are a few tips to help out the fellow students:
- Study Ahead: Instead of waiting in line to get into the library, try studying the night before the test so that the information is set in your brain. Even make notecards to study on the go while at lunch or in between classes.
- Hurry!: Try to get to lunch earlier than the rest of the lunch crowds by trying a different route to the cafeteria or by speeding up your pace. Watch out though, running isn't safe!
- Pack a lunch: Instead of waiting in those crazy lines, pack a lunch! It's great for so many reasons: You can pack food you like and don't have to fuss over what to buy in the cafeteria! Packing your line will cut down on the cost too!
- Study with friends: Make a study group with people in your classes at lunch so that way you can have a study session at lunch! This will make sure the information is fresh in your brain so you will remember when the test comes your way!
