Louisiana uses a blanket primary system, adopted in 1975, where there is a single primary for all candidates. If no candidate receives 50 percent of the vote, then the top two vote-getters -- regardless of party -- advance to a runoff election. Louisiana typically holds its elections on non-regular dates. State executive and legislative elections are held in odd-numbered years, with election dates typically falling on a Saturday. In June 2010, Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) signed HB 292 into law, returning congressional elections to the nonpartisan blanket system in 2012.[1][2][3]
Year-specific dates
- See also: Louisiana elections, 2014
Louisiana had a primary election on November 4, 2014. Since one candidate did not gain a majority of the vote (more than 50 percent of the total votes cast for that office), a general election was held for the top two candidates who received the most votes on December 6, 2014.[4][5] Voters were to elect candidates to serve in the following state and federal offices:
- 2 members to the Louisiana Public Service Commission
- 1 seat in the United States Senate
- 6 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives
The qualifying period for candidates began August 20, 2014 and ended August 22, 2014.[5] The deadline to file to create a new political party in time for the 2014 elections was May 22, 2014.[6] These dates, along with campaign finance reporting deadlines, are included in the table below.[7]

Political parties
As of November 2013, Louisiana officially recognized five political parties.[8]

In some states, a candidate may choose to have a label other than that of an officially recognized party appear alongside his or her name on the ballot. Such labels are called political party designations. A political party designation would be used when a candidate qualifies as an independent, but prefers to use a different label. Louisiana does not allow candidates to identify in this way. A total of 25 states allow candidates to use political party designations in non-presidential elections.
The 11 states listed below (and Washington, D.C.) do not provide a process for political organizations to gain qualified status in advance of an election. Instead, in these states, an aspirant party must first field candidates using party designations. If the candidate or candidates win the requisite votes, the organization may then be recognized as an official political party. In these states, a political party can be formed only if the candidate in the general election obtains a specific number of votes. The number of votes required and type of race vary from state to state. Details can be found on the state-specific requirements pages.[9]
Process to establish a political party
See statutes: Title 18, Section 441 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes
Gaining ballot access
In Louisiana, a new party will be recognized when the following three things occur:[8]
- 1) At least 1,000 registered voters affiliate with the party on their voter registration form.
- 2) The party files a notarized registration statement with the Secretary of State's Office.
- 3) The party pays a $1,000 registration fee to the Secretary of State's Office.
The registration statement must be sworn to by an officer of the party, notarized and include the following information:[6]
- The name of the party, which cannot be deceptively similar to the name of any already recognized political party.
- The mailing address of the party, which must be within the state of Louisiana.
- If the party is affiliated with a national party, the name of that party and the address of its national headquarters.
- The names, addresses and official titles of the party's state officers.
- A copy of the party's emblem, if applicable, which cannot be deceptively similar to the emblem of any already recognized political party.
- Copies of the party's charter or constitution, its governing bylaws, rules and regulations.
In order to be recognized in time to run candidates in an election, the party will have to file and pay the registration fee no later than 90 days before the candidate qualifying period.[6]
A newly recognized political party will not be given a seat on the Parish Board of Election Supervisors, which is a board in each parish in charge of overseeing and supervising election proceedings, until at least five percent of registered voters in the state are affiliated with the party on their voter registration forms.[10] Newly recognized political parties also cannot collect party fees from their candidates.[8]
Maintaining ballot access
In order to maintain their ballot access, newly recognized parties must continue to put candidates on the ballot. If no registered member of the party qualifies as a candidate for four consecutive years, the party will cease to be recognized.[6][8]
However, if a candidate of the newly recognized party for president receives at least five percent of the votes cast in a presidential election, or if a candidate of the party for any statewide office receives at least five percent of the votes cast for that office in a primary or general election, the four-year rule will no longer apply. That means that if the party's candidate in a presidential or statewide race receives at least five percent of the votes cast, the party will never have to re-qualify with the state.[6] For example, 1,994,065 votes were cast for president in 2012.[11] In order for a newly recognized party to maintain its status without fielding candidates every four years, its candidate for president would have had to receive at least 99,703 votes.
Convention requirements
Members of a recognized political party's state central committee are elected every four years, during presidential election years. Within 40 days following their election, the newly elected members of the state central committee must meet at the state capitol, take office, and hold a meeting to organize the committee. At that first meeting, members of the committee must elect the officers provided for in the rules and regulations of the party.[12]

Qualifying for the primary ballot
Because Louisiana has a blanket primary system, all candidates run in the primary election. Candidates cannot run for more than one office in a primary or general election, unless one of the offices is for membership in a political party committee. They are also prohibited from running for two or more different offices to be filled at separate elections.[13]
All candidates, whether a recognized party candidate, non-recognized party candidate or no party candidate, qualify in the same way and at the same time. If the primary election is for a gubernatorial election, the candidate qualifying period begins the first Tuesday after the first Monday in September of the year of the election and ends at 4:30 p.m. on the following Thursday. If the primary election is for a congressional election, the candidate qualifying period begins the third Wednesday in August of the year of the election and ends at 4:30 p.m. on the following Friday.[14][15]
To qualify, candidates must file with the Louisiana Secretary of State.[16] They must file a Notice of Candidacy form and either pay a filing fee or file a nominating petition.[17][18] After they have qualified, candidates for state executive office and state legislative office are required to obtain at least one hour of ethics education and training.[19]
Notice of Candidacy
The Notice of Candidacy must either be signed in the presence of a notary or have two witnesses of registered voters eligible to vote for the office the candidate seeks. It must certify the following:[17][20]
- The candidate's name and the way in which he or she would like it to appear on the ballot.
- The office sought by the candidate.
- The candidate's residence address, including the parish, ward and precinct where the candidate is registered to vote.
- The name of the recognized party the candidate is affiliated with, a designation of "Other" if the candidate is affiliated with a non-recognized political party or a designation of "No party" if the candidate is not affiliated with any political party. This designation cannot change after the Notice of Candidacy is filed.
- That the candidate is a registered voter in the district he or she wishes to represent.
- That the candidate is not currently under an order of imprisonment for conviction of a felony and is not prohibited from qualifying as a candidate for conviction of a felony.
- If running for state office, that the candidate has filed his or her state and federal tax returns for the past five years or else was not required to file.
- If running for state office, that the candidate acknowledges he or she is subject to the Campaign Finance Disclosure Act, does not owe any outstanding fines, fees or penalties and has filed any reports due prior to filing the Notice of Candidacy form.
- That the candidate is knowledgeable of all election rules and laws pertaining to the election in which he or she is running, specifically those prohibiting political campaign signs on public property.
Filing fee
If candidates decide to pay the filing fee, it must be paid in cash, by certified check, by cashier's check or by money order. Established political parties may assess a political party fee to be paid by candidates affiliated with their party. All fees must be paid to the Secretary of State at the time of qualifying.[21] Candidates currently serving in the U.S. Armed Forces are not required to pay the filing fee.[18] Fees vary depending on the office sought and can be found in the table below.[22]
|Office sought
|Filing fee
|Party fee (if a Democratic or Republican candidate)
|State executive office other than governor, U.S. Senator, U.S. Representative
|State Senator
|State Representative
Nominating petition
If candidates decide to file a nominating petition rather than pay a filing fee, they may start circulating their petitions 120 days before the qualifying period begins.[23] Signatures for the petition must be collected from registered voters eligible to vote for the office the candidate seeks. The required number of signatures varies depending on the office sought and can be found in the table below.[22]
|Office sought
|Number of signatures required
|State executive office or office in the U.S. Senate
|5,000, with no less than 500 coming from each congressional district
|Office in the U.S. House of Representatives
|Office in the Louisiana State Senate
|Office in the Louisiana House of Representatives
Challenging a candidacy
Any registered voter may challenge the candidacy of a candidate running for an office they are eligible to vote for. To do so, the registered voter must present evidence that a candidate has illegally qualified for office to the respective parish district attorney. The district attorney will then determine whether or not the evidence presented by the registered voter establishes grounds for challenging the candidate's status as a candidate. If the district attorney determines the evidence does establish grounds against the candidate, the district attorney must file an action objecting to that candidate.[24]
Any objection to a candidate must be filed no later than seven days after the close of the candidate qualifying period, unless that day falls on a weekend or holiday, in which case it must be filed the next following business day.[25]
Moving on to the general election
A general election is only held if a candidate fails to receive 50 percent of the vote cast for the office. If a general election is held, the two candidates who received the most votes will move on to the general election.[26] In the case of a tie, the number of candidates allowed to move on for that office is doubled.[27]
Petition requirements
See statutes: Title 18, Section 441 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes
In some cases, political parties and/or candidates may need to obtain signatures via the petition process to gain ballot access. This section outlines the laws and regulations pertaining to petitions and circulators in Louisiana.
Petitions in Louisiana are used by candidates who do not wish to pay the filing fee when qualifying to run for office. The Louisiana Secretary of State prepares and furnishes copies of forms that candidates may use as their nominating petitions. However, candidates may also use forms of their own design to collect signatures, as long as each sheet of the nominating petition contains the following information:[28]
- The name of the candidate seeking election
- The candidate's residence address
- The office sought by the candidate
- The candidate's political party affiliation, if any
- The date of the primary election for which the candidate seeks to qualify
When signing a nominating petition, signers must provide their name in printed form, the date they signed the petition and their residence address, including the ward and precinct in which they are eligible to vote. Once a signer has signed a nominating petition, the signature may not be withdrawn.[28]
Circulators of petitions must witness the signing of every signature on the petition. When filing the nominating petition, the candidate and all circulators who collected signatures on his or her behalf must certify on the nominating petition that to the best of their knowledge, information and belief, all signatures on the petition are genuine and all statements on the petition are true and correct.[28]
The statutes do not specify any requirements for circulators of nominating petitions.
Campaign finance
See statutes: Louisiana Campaign Finance Disclosure Act
Reporting requirements
Candidates running for state executive office or district office must electronically file reports with the Louisiana Ethics Administration Program. Candidates for any other office must file reports only if they spend over $2,500 or collect contributions of over $200 from a single source, not including the candidate's personal funds.[7]
Candidates must file a number of campaign finance reports. For an example of those reports, look to the table below.

Contribution limits
In addition to campaign finance reporting requirements, candidates are subject to contribution limits received from a single source, excluding personal funds and political parties. The limits apply separately to the primary and general elections and are as follows:[7]
- $5,000 for candidates seeking state executive office or a district office representing a population of more than 250,000
- $2,500 for candidates seeking a district office with a population less than 250,000
- $1,000 for candidates seeking any other office
If a candidate receives contributions from a political action committee (PAC) with over 250 members who contributed over $50 to the PAC in the preceding election year, then the above contribution limits may be doubled from that PAC.[7]
Contributions from persons who are substantially interested in the riverboat and land casino gaming industry are prohibited.[7]

"Ah, to build, to build! That is the noblest art of all the arts. Painting and sculpture are but images, are merely shadows cast by outward things on stone or canvas, having in themselves no separate existence. Architecture, existing in itself, and not in seeming a something it is not, surpasses them as substance shadow."
"The real truthfulness of all works of imagination, sculpture, painting, and written fiction, is so purely in the imagination, that the artist never seeks to represent positive truth, but the idealized image of a truth"
"There are three forms of visual art: Painting is art to look at, sculpture is art you can walk around, and architecture is art you can walk through"
"The arts community is generally dominated by liberals because if you are concerned mainly with painting or sculpture, you don't have time to study how the world works. And if you have no understanding of economics, strategy, history and politics, then naturally you would be a liberal."

Next month, a series of feasts, meals and exhibitions in Northern California will commemorate the 40th anniversary of the opening of Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley. Widely considered to have been responsible for sparking the California Cuisine revolution (freshly grown, organic produce, cooked simply), this institution is still providing classic renditions of Provençal and Mediterranean meals.
Alice Waters, the founder of the restaurant (www.chezpanisse.com), has semi-divine status in the U.S. And while virtually every chef in the Bay Area still pays homage to her continuing impact on the food scene there, in recent years, new trends have emerged that provide a fresh approach to that now-ubiquitous cooking style.
An inverted cherry tomato tart with a crispy black olive wafer on a basil base at Daniel Patterson's Coi in San Francisco. Maren Caruso
Daniel Patterson, chef-owner of the two-Michelin-starred Coi (coirestaurant.com) in the salubrious North Beach area of San Francisco, was one of the first big chefs to voice doubts about Northern California's culinary orthodoxy. Six years ago, in a now well-known New York Times Magazine article, he wrote that Chez Panisse was in danger of being seen as "the only path to heaven. So deeply embedded is the mythology of Chez Panisse in the DNA of local food culture that it threatens to smother stylistic diversity and extinguish the creativity that it originally sought to spark."
There is no danger of this occurring at Coi, where the evening service comprises an 11-course blind-tasting menu. A recent meal there started with a visually arresting dish simply called "Beet Rose," which looked like an edible rose surrounded by pink sorbet. To produce this effect, the beet is roasted and then cut into petals and compressed with reduced beet juice and rice wine vinegar; the sorbet is actually ice infused with rose petals, sugar, lemon, honey and salt, with a touch of aerated yogurt. Two other exciting dishes were an upside-down cherry tomato tart, with black olive, basil and an intense tomato puree, and an offbeat dish of confit of duck tongues and abalone with an assortment of herbs, lettuce, radish and sprouts.
The low-key Mr. Patterson says that his style is similar in sensibility to New Nordic cuisine, with its focus on fresh and wild local ingredients. While he confesses to being "actually sick of the whole foraging thing because people forget about the cooking part," he says that he finds the limitation of only working with local ingredients a great stimulus. "Regionality also carries an emotional meaning, which is now growing all over the world," he adds. "When you cook with ingredients from everywhere, you lose the specialness of the things you have locally."
Italian food was an integral part of the California Cuisine revolution, and after Chez Panisse, the most renowned San Francisco restaurant is Zuni Café (www.zunicafe.com). This wedge-shaped restaurant, which offers new menus daily and an encyclopedic array of local oysters, remains one of my favorite destinations in the Bay Area. But the most innovative Italian restaurant is Chris Cosentino's nine-year-old Incanto (incanto.biz), which has become famous—and, in squeamish circles, notorious—for its creative approach to offal. "The Bay Area has a very similar climate to Naples," says Mr. Consentino, an alumnus of Chez Panisse. "I can make [the cuisine] look the same with similar ingredients, but it will always taste differently. We only serve Italian wine, and what ingredients we can't grow locally, we import from there. What I say is that we are in a region of Italy called California."
On a trip there last week, every dish I had at Incanto was a revelation of unique and stimulating taste, from the tuna heart, egg yolk and parsley pasta to the steamed foie gras with porcini and pine needles. The majority of his dishes don't involve offal at all; one of the most succulent experiences of my meal was game hen, eggplant, chili and smoked capers. This is robust cuisine, but because of his fresh approach to normally shunned ingredients, like his tartare of lamb's heart with anchovies and mint with a brush stroke of burnt onion on the plate, it is an exhilarating experience. Mr. Consentino doesn't think cooking should always be serious—he says there should be an element of entertainment. But not all of Incanto's customers get what the chef is trying to do. "Sometimes we have Italian customers who shout and scream when we serve them our take on what they consider to be unchangeable Italian classics," he says.
As with its technology neighbors in Silicon Valley, this spirit of innovation is rampant among the area's chefs, and two of the most talked-about newcomers are James Syhabout at Commis and Corey Lee at Benu. Commis (www.commisrestaurant.com) is a small, one-Michelin-star establishment in Oakland, with only 30 covers and a six-course set menu. Mr. Syhabout's dishes veer toward forage-influenced cuisine; an amuse bouche of a parmesan shortbread rolled in vegetable ash and resting on an assortment of seaside pebbles was reminiscent of similar concepts at both Mugaritz in Errenteria, Spain, and Copenhagen's Noma.
A dish of beetroot with Oakland honey and bee pollen, horseradish with mustard was a more mainstream New Nordic-style dish, with its sprinkling of herbs and flowers and excellent balance. Mr. Syhabout, who opened the casual Oakland restaurant Hawker Fare this spring, says it is difficult to know how to categorize his cuisine. "We have the same ingredients as Chez Panisse, but we cook completely differently," he says. "We are associated with the new naturalism, which is world-wide rather than local. It gives you a sense of freedom. We go beyond just going to the farmers market—you can even look in your backyard for edible weeds."
As California Cuisine undergoes this broad evolution, influenced by an industry that is more and more globalized, Mr. Patterson thinks there is still a bigger question that should be asked: "The central question right now is what does it mean to be an American cook? I think we are a very young culture, especially if you compare our cuisine with French, Italian or Russian or Chinese. The thing that gets overlooked is that California was only born a century and a half ago—before that it was Mexico and even earlier, it was lived in by Native Americans. European cuisine is the bedrock of our techniques but in the future we will see more influence from Central and South America too. Where cooking is going now will require a much deeper understanding of the memory of our place."

Remington College of Nursing - Orlando - page 69
has anyone enrolled in the inaugural accelerated bsn class that started january 2009? what are your impressions so far? thank you, topcat... Read More
- 0Sep 23, '12 by Soccermang21Has anyone applied for Early Admission for the class starting in January 2013? Have you heard anything?
- 0Oct 1, '12 by vanessa89@Pegasus I also applied for early admission at RCON and havent heard anything yet except an email sent to me wednesday from Remington fin aid office saying that they are encouraging me to begin financial aid process early. This email has 2 attachments. Anyone get anything similar? (January 2013)
- 0Oct 2, '12 by vanessa89@Pegasus. I originally applied for July 2012 cohort and did my phone interview in June. I needed to finish a class so my application rolled over to January 2013. I didn't do anything with the email either considering i still haven't received an acceptance letter. When i opened the attachments they even give us a student id number. Im beyond confused and just hate to wait until December :-/
- 0Oct 3, '12 by vanessa89@Jodihvt. Do you live in Orlando area already? Also, did u also get a second email from fin aid saying " This is not an acceptance just encouraging to begin fin aid process early in the event you are offered an acceptance." (something along those lines). Still havent received an acceptance so just wondering if im stuck waiting another few months to hear anything. Admissions lady emailed me saying im all set to be considered for early admission into January class; at this point im thinking my 77% on Teas was not enough ... any feedback?
- 0Oct 3, '12 by JodihvtI do not live in Orlando; I actually live in Vermont . I did not get a second e-mail from financial aid but Pam (in admissions) actually said she was going to send an e-mail "stating it was not an acceptance notice". It is probably because when I got that first e-mail, the day they met, I did forward it back and asked her what it meant (accepted or not?) since I was confused. So I think she thought that others prob were confused with the emails too. In regards tothe TEAS exam I actually got lower than that so I would not stress about that too much. Hopefully you will get your letter soon!!! I know that they were looking at "completed applications" on Wednesday and also some out ofstate applicants with 1 prereq. outstanding (which is what I was). So as long as I pass A&P2, I have a spot.

Roanoke Rising: Cregger Center Plans
November 27, 2013
The following article was written by Meagan Cole '14, student writer for The Brackety-Ack, Roanoke College's student newspaper. The article appeared in the Nov. 15 edition of the newspaper.
Since the beginning of the Roanoke Rising campaign in April 2013, a lot of talk has been generated throughout the Roanoke College community about erecting the campus's two latest buildings. The first, the Cregger Center, is an all-new sports center that will house a gymnasium, fitness area, and one of the largest indoor tracks a college has to offer. The next project will upgrade the Science Complex, both Trexler and Life Science, some years later. The latest hum of excitement came on November 5 when President Maxey released an official video to discuss the future of both projects.
The video chose to highlight Roanoke College's most recent developments, such as Lucas and New Halls, to first recap how much the campus has grown in the past decade. In fact, some current students still remember when the Market Street Complex was the latest and greatest, which opened for the 2009 fall semester. Since then, Lucas was the chosen academic building to be refurbished with an entirely "green" mentality. Lucas is home to the foreign language department and is LEED certified, meaning the building conserves energy and saves the environment. New Hall, on the other hand, is much more luxurious. It's even been given the nickname "the Hotel" by students who live within the dorm.
All of these accomplishments have moved the campus forward in regards to college standings, but the Cregger Center and Science Complex intend to put Roanoke College prominently on the map. Bowman Hall is seeing its last residents this school year and will be torn down to make way for the Cregger Center. Not only will the Cregger Center give birth to an improved athletics department nearby the soccer and lacrosse field, but additional dining and academic areas will go into its construction as well. The current timeline suggests that the Cregger Center will be opened for the start of the 2015-2016 school year.
While the Science Complex is currently in an anticipated project without specific years tying it down, President Maxey touches on how the science departments have received recent renovations within the video. The green house, laboratories, and state-of-the-art equipment have really stood out, expanding the students' horizons in ways very few undergraduate schools can offer. And, when the Science Complex is completed, the facilities will be seen in an impressive, modern light.
President Maxey concludes the video by reminding its viewers that none of this could be possible without the generosity of the campus community's donors. Every building is a tribute, a literal monument to those whose names are on each placard, and their continual support is how Roanoke College stands above the rest. To become a part of the giving family, be sure to check out the Roanoke Rising campaign in more detail.
SWVA/East TN, Roanoke Valley & Atlanta Campaign Events
November 27, 2013
Southwest Virginia and East Tennessee
In Southwest Virginia, the Roanoke Rising campaign kicked off on Sept. 10 with an alumni gathering at the historic Martha Washington Inn in Abingdon. John Stafford '57, the chapter chair and a campaign steering committee member, welcomed the group of Roanoke and Marion alumni and told them about the campaign. Nancy DeFriece is a co-chair of the campaign in Southwest Virginia and East Tennessee. President Mike Maxey also spoke to the group about the College's recent Up and Coming ranking with U.S. News and gave more details about the campaign's priorities.
Barry Firebaugh '67 talked about how important it is for all alumni to participate in the campaign, even if they can't give a large amount. The Southwest Virginia/East Tennessee chapter knows participation well, having won the Henry Hill Alumni Chapter Challenge previously. Last year, the Charlotte, North Carolina chapter won the Hill award, which comes along with a bell trophy.
"There are those at Roanoke College who will say this is a friendly competition," Firebaugh said. "But we want to go after Charlotte and bring that bell back," he said as he encouraged alumni to participate in the Roanoke Rising campaign.
Roanoke Valley
The annual Roanoke Valley alumni gathering was held at the Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center on Sept. 12. A large group of alumni reconnected at the regional campaign kickoff and enjoyed a lovely evening. Bob and Wendy Rotanz are co-chairs of the Roanoke Valley campaign, and they welcomed the group and talked about the importance of the next few years for Roanoke College.
William and Mimi Coles also are co-chairs of the campaign, and they stressed the importance of having wide participation in the campaign. Attendees watched a video about the campaign. Also, it is available online for anyone who missed the local event.
In Atlanta, Roanoke alumni gathered on Oct. 8 at the Cherokee Town & Country Club to reconnect with each other and get updates on the Roanoke Rising campaign from President Mike Maxey.
Malon Courts '92, one of the Atlanta co-chairs, invited the attendees to join him in participating in the campaign. "The opportunity is before us," Courts said. "We have a strong vision for the future."
Peggy F. Horn '78, co-chair of the Atlanta regional campaign, talked about the strong impact Roanoke professors have on their students.
"Dr. John Spitz and Dr. Ed Siefried changed my life," she said.
Finkenstadts donate artwork to Roanoke College
November 13, 2013
It started as a way for Hilton Head, S.C. residents Ernie and Joyce Finkenstadt to honor their daughter and son at Roanoke College, the children's alma mater in Salem, Va.
Nearly 25 years ago, the college offered parents an opportunity to name a study room in the Fintel Library, then under construction on campus. Each room would have a nice plaque displayed outside the door so people could see who helped build the state-of-the-art facility.
The library, which opened in 1991, includes a third-floor study room with a plaque outside its door bearing the names of the Finkenstadt's daughter Pamela, a 1986 graduate, and son Todd, who graduated in 1991.
The Finkenstadts, who lived in Upper Saddle River, N.J. prior to their move to Hilton Head, have since stayed connected to Roanoke College throughout the years.
"We were asked to be co-chairs of their Parent Leadership Council," Ernie Finkenstadt said recently. "We thought they were doing some very fine things at the College and our children were benefiting from the many advances the College was implementing."
Roanoke College has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation's Up & Coming national liberal arts colleges, ranking this year as No. 2 up-and-comer. The Princeton Review has named Roanoke College one of the best in the United States in its "Best 378 Colleges" 2014 guidebook. Roanoke is one of just 7 percent of colleges nationwide with a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.
Joyce Finkenstadt, an accomplished artist who has produced paintings of landscapes and outdoor scenes of the Northeast, said she knows Roanoke College recruits many students from the Northeast. "We thought they might relate to some of the scenes I had painted," she said.
Joyce contacted Jack Williams, director of regional programs in the College's Resource Development department, and asked if it would be possible to hang some of her paintings in the study room. In August, eight of her paintings were hung on the study room walls.
While "it is nice to leave some type of legacy," Joyce said, "Ernie and I wanted it to be even more personal than just a sign."

Family creates Good Shepherd Endowment Fund to support environmental studies
July 12, 2013
Salem – When Ben White '11 was a student at Roanoke College, one of the most powerful experiences he had was to work with a small group of students to study the use of green roofs on buildings owned by the City of Roanoke.
These efforts were not only educational, but the students presented their ideas to the city, received recognition from the sustainability board and helped the city confirm its path toward developing the green roof in place today at its Noel C. Taylor Administration Building.
White, an environmental studies major at Roanoke, said this type of firsthand learning experience was a critical component of his environmental education.
Today, White and his parents, Briscoe and Kenan White (pictured above), are helping to ensure that future Roanoke students have similar experiences. Through their family foundation, the Good Shepherd Fund, the Whites have created the Good Shepherd Endowment Fund for Environmental Studies. The endowment fund supports experiential and firsthand learning opportunities for upper-level students in Roanoke's environmental studies program.
"We had two goals in mind: to support the environmental studies program and to create a fund that hopefully others will be attracted to," said Kenan White. "We hope others will give to this fund. I'd like to see it grow and grow. If such a fund had been in place when Ben was a student, we would have given to it, so now we are hoping for support for the Good Shepherd Endowment Fund's continued growth."
"Roanoke is a wonderful resource," she added. "This funding will allow the students to get tied in with things going on already."
The White family knows about the environment. Their family farm, Sandy Fields Farm in Virginia's Charles City County, was the first in the country to be 100 percent compliant with the Chesapeake Bay Act. The farm also uses no-till farming methods and filter strips to ensure that all waterways have been protected. They use rotational grazing methods in managing their Dexter Cattle herd as well.
The Whites' business, The Growers Exchange, grows and sells over 150 varieties of herbs throughout the continental United States. They use biologically sound principles in growing and in all aspects of the business, from packaging to the choice of shippers, reflecting a business model that they refer to as "grown right."
Both Briscoe and Kenan White have been involved with numerous environmental organizations, including Delta Waterfowl, The James River Association and The Nature Conservancy of Virginia, the country's leading conservation organization which protects ecologically important land and water globally.
After graduation from Roanoke, Ben White took a semester-long course in Chile through the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). Now, he works for a Google Ventures company in Colorado.
"It excites me now that this [fund] will help revitalize the environmental studies program, to allow more intensive and hands-on learning," he said.
While at Roanoke, Ben White also was involved with RC Electric, a student group working to convert a classic gas-powered car into a fully electric vehicle. The project continues and the students involved hope to have the car running with its new engine during the 2013-14 academic year.
Dr. Gail Steehler, who coordinates Roanoke College's Environmental Studies Program, believes the Good Shepherd Fund will have a huge impact on the program.
"It will help us to realize some things we've wanted to do," she said. "Now, we will be able to implement them on a larger scale. We are seeing significant student growth in the program, so it's perfect timing for additional resources."
Steehler expects the Good Shepherd Fund to support student projects, such as those connected to a class project as well as ideas suggested by students. The fund also will provide support for projects in the environmental practicum, a capstone course for environmental studies majors.
"It will also help strengthen ties with the community," Steehler said. "We plan to name a faculty member as the experiential project coordinator, and the Good Shepherd Fund will help the coordinator to make connections in the community."
Roanoke College, a classic liberal arts college in Salem, Virginia, combines firsthand learning with valuable personal connections in a beautiful, undergraduate setting. Roanoke is one of just seven percent of colleges nationwide with a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest and most prestigious honor society. The Princeton Review lists Roanoke as the 18th most beautiful campus in its "Best 376 Colleges" 2012 guidebook.

Roanoke Launches $200 Million Campaign with Surprise $25 Million Pledge
April 13, 2013
Roanoke College is undertaking the largest campaign in its 171-year history, with one of the largest single gifts ever given in the Roanoke Valley fueling the $200 million campaign. Roanoke Rising: The Campaign for Roanoke College, which publicly kicked off on April 13 at the College's Alumni Weekend, had already reached more than 50% of its goal when Roanoke President Michael Maxey announced a significant gift from the Mulheren family of Rumson, NJ, and Paint Bank, VA. Alumna Nancy Mulheren '72 and her family, which includes son Sandy '02, his wife Vanessa '02 and her late husband John '71, made the $25 million pledge to the surprise of the 1,100 guests in attendance. This pledge is the largest gift ever given to the College.
"I have no doubt that Roanoke is among the finest liberal arts colleges in the nation," says Mulheren, who serves on the College's Board of Trustees. "I believe in Roanoke. Roanoke College has always been deep in our hearts and my family wants to do all that we can to make a difference. In honor of my family's life changing experiences at Roanoke and in support of generations of young Maroons to come, I am pleased to share our gift of $25,000,000."
"The world needs people and institutions who out-think, out-perform and out-do the expected," says College President Michael Maxey, "and Roanoke graduates embody this idea. This gift is a tremendous testament to the way Roanoke alumni go on to make an impact on the world and to aspire beyond 'business as usual.'"
According to the College's Vice President for Resource Development Connie Carmack, "This campaign will have a transformational impact on Roanoke College. To be able to launch our campaign with a gift of this magnitude is exceptional. The generosity and loyalty of Roanoke alumni is remarkable. We are positioned for unprecedented success."
Roanoke Rising: The Campaign for Roanoke College will raise funds for five priorities:
- Facilities and Capital Projects—Two primary endeavors are the new Cregger Center, a campus center for athletics, academics and community; and renovation and expansion of a comprehensive science complex; as well as various smaller projects.
- Academic Programs and Faculty Support—Academic programs and faculty support will include enhancements in the core curriculum, majors, and experiential learning programs; and funding for endowed positions and professional development.
- Scholarships and Student Support—Scholarships will allow more students pursue a Roanoke education, and student support will enable students to participate in study abroad, research, creative works, service learning, and internships.
- The Roanoke Fund—Roanoke's annual giving program helps provide additional college aid and meet its operating needs each year.
- The President's Fund for Excellence—This opportunity fund will allow Roanoke to take advantage of concepts and programs that will emerge over time.
The Cregger Center will be named for Morris Cregger '64, Roanoke's Chairman of the Board and the lead donor for the facility. The Cregger Center will house a performance gymnasium with a 2,500 seat capacity, a field house with the Roanoke Valley's only competitive indoor track, a fitness center for the entire campus and an athletic training facility. The College's Health and Human Performance faculty, as well as academic and lab space, will be housed in the building, allowing students immediate access to experiential study. The field house can be converted to a mid-size event and auditorium space for lectures, concerts, community activities, and college functions such as commencement.
Roanoke's plan for the science facilities includes renovating the current Massengill Auditorium and connecting it to two adjacent buildings, Life Sciences and Trexler Hall, which will also be modernized over subsequent years.
Roanoke President Michael Maxey says, "What excites me most about this campaign is that it fuels the basic human transaction that happens on campus between professor and student, between coach and athlete, between mentor and protégé. Roanoke Rising is about enhancing our unique environment for making these connections happen in ways that answer the needs of today's and tomorrow's students."
More about Roanoke Rising, including a new video outlining the campaign, may be found on the campaign website at RoanokeRising.com.
In less than two decades Roanoke has advanced from being called one of the best regional colleges in the South to being twice recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a Top 10 Up and Comer among the nation's leading liberal arts colleges.
Roanoke College, a classic liberal arts college in Salem, Virginia, combines firsthand learning with valuable personal connections in a beautiful, undergraduate setting. Roanoke is one of just seven percent of colleges nationwide with a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, the nation's oldest and most prestigious honor society. The Princeton Review listed Roanoke as the 18th most beautiful campus in its "Best 376 Colleges" 2012 guidebook.
Campaign kicks off with gala celebration
April 13, 2013
Roanoke Rising: The Campaign for Roanoke College fundraising campaign launched Saturday, April 13, at Alumni Weekend. The College announced the largest campaign in its history, with a fundraising goal of $200 million and five priorities: capital and building projects, scholarships and student support, academic programs and faculty support, the Roanoke Fund, and the President's Fund for Excellence.
The evening's biggest news was a surprise announcement of a $25 million pledge from Roanoke alumna and Board member Nancy Mulheren '72 and her family, which includes son Sandy '02, his wife Vanessa '02, and her late husband John '71. Mulheren shared, "I believe in Roanoke. Roanoke College has always been deep in our hearts, and my family wants to do all that we can to make a difference. In honor of my family's life changing experiences at Roanoke and in support of generations of young Maroons to come, I am pleased to share our gift of $25,000,000."
This pledge, the largest in the College's history, brings Roanoke to well more than half way to its campaign goal.
According to the College's Vice President for Resource Development Connie Carmack, "To be able to launch our campaign with a gift of this magnitude is exceptional. The generosity and loyalty of Roanoke alumni is remarkable. We are positioned for unprecedented success."
More than 1100 alumni, students and friends of Roanoke College celebrated the momentous kick-off with food and festivities under a large tent on the College's back quad. The evening began with a reception and personal testimonies of how Roanoke has inspired a student, an alumnus and a staff member. Bob Rotanz '78 emceed the event.
"We are here because we believe in the future of Roanoke College," said Rotanz, a standout lacrosse player for Roanoke in the seventies who now owns Mac & Bob's restaurant in Salem. "You believe, as you always have, that you have a part to play in that vision."
President Mike Maxey addressed the crowd with details about how the campaign will change Roanoke's future through its five priorities. They include funding for building and capital projects, student scholarships and support, academic programs and faculty support, the president's opportunity fund and the Roanoke Fund.
The capital projects include construction of the Cregger Center, an athletic and educational building that will house a 2,500 seat performance gymnasium, the Roanoke Valley's only indoor competitive track, a fitness center, an athletic training facility and classrooms and labs. The center will be a crossroads for campus life and a center for health and wellness. The center is named for Morris Cregger '64, who is the chair of Roanoke's Board of Trustees.
Roanoke track and cross country athlete, Emily Reichenbach '13, said the center's planned indoor track will be a great enhancement to the campus. "Academics and athletics are at the core of Roanoke College," she said.
The second capital project is a state-of-the-art science complex that will connect three campus buildings, Massengill Auditorium, Trexler Hall and Life Science into a cutting-edge modern science facility.
"I sincerely believe that when we have reached the successful conclusion of this campaign, you will look back over a transformational period in the history of Roanoke—a transformation that will enable the college to rise to a new level of excellence and national acclaim," Maxey said.
In the last three years, Roanoke has twice been named as a U.S. News & World Report's Top 10 Up and Comer among the nation's leading liberal arts colleges.
The program for the event featured a video history of Roanoke College by Steve Mason '91 and featured music by Roanoke College student ensembles, including the Roanoke College Choir, the Oriana Singers and the Roanoke College Jazz and Wind Ensembles. After the program, the kickoff became a campus-wide celebration, with dancing and music by the Waller Family Band.

The significant increase in backlog during the first half of 2010, which was first reported in July 2010, indicates continuous growth and encouraging prospects for the future. The growth in revenue is the result of higher volume programs, including major aircraft upgrades performed this past year, which we expect to leverage for our future business. In addition, we are introducing new products that were developed during the last 2 years, such as the 'Sentinel' radar, designed for Active Protection Systems, which will be marketable to existing as well as new key customers."

The Spring/Summer 2012 Givenchy collection features these retro 'Pin-Up' flip flops. An ode to the classic pin-up girl era, the set displays images of the immortalized 1950s woman known to sport an exaggerated pompadour and dark red lip rouge. While the lady is in fact nude, a dash of modesty is revealed by way of a censored chest, a choice that resonates well with the brand's well-known cross between daring meets demure.
The thin black Pin-Up sandals will attract some heady poolside attention this season, if not for the provocative woman displayed, then for the Givenchy label brandished on the sides and bottom of the thongs. The set is also partially made of leather, adding a playful luxurious touch to the beachwear scene. And so, the 1950s pin-up girl prototype lives on.


text: Can we please kick these illegals out? Illegals have no fear in this country. Why should they? Free housing for Aunti Z, a drivers license and SS# for Uncle O, and a night out on the town driving wasted, after this criminal illegal already had a rap sheet for burglary and assaulting a police officer. LEGAL immigration, not ILLEGAL. This kid might still be alive if the laws were simply enforced. Mourners cry for reform as Milford DUI victim laid to rest By Marie Szaniszlo Wednesday, August 31, 2011 - Updated 8 minutes ago Mourners crowded a Milford church yesterday for the funeral of a 23-year-old crash victim, voicing outrage over a young life ended by what authorities say was an illegal alien who was driving drunk. Matthew J. Denice was killed Aug. 20 when his motorcycle was struck and his body was dragged a quarter-mile and then run over. Ecuadorian native Nicholas Guaman, who has a record of burglary and assaulting a police officer, has been charged with motor vehicle homicide while drunk and driving without a license. "All of this could have been prevented if we just enforced the laws we have," said Verne Thayer of Milford. "It's wrong, just wrong, because our politicians want to be politically correct. If (Guaman) had been deported the first time, these people would still have their son." Mourners cry for reform as Milford DUI victim laid to rest - BostonHerald.com
