As a lover of jazz music and it's culture, it is very important to me that jazz stays alive. In order for that to happen, there must be a commitment from generation to generation to pass on the music and it's rich history. As a jazz journalist, I am always looking to spotlight individuals who share this same mission. With that said, I would to introduce my new jazz friend, Mr. JB Baretsky, to Jazz On My Mind. First I must tell you that JB is a member of the upcoming generation of jazz performers. His 24 years old and has already joined the fight to keep jazz alive. Born in Long Island, JB aspired to be a performer at a young age. His parents enjoyed watching him entertain family and friends at gatherings. In fact through his short career, JB's parents and family has been his greatest inspiration. With a tremendous amount of natural talent and ability, JB started singing jazz seriously while in high school. His musical inspirations are legends Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, Patti Page, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Billy Holiday who's hit, 'I'll Be Seeing You' is one of JB's favorite tunes. Mr.Baretsky has learned something from each of these great performers and has applied it to his own musical soul, a soul that is committed to being the best jazz vocalist of our modern time. In speaking to JB I could feel his deep passion for the music and his desire to tell us a story with his talent and love for the songs he sings. JB has performed at several major venues on the east coast with his most memorial being his performance at New York's Lincoln Center earlier this year of 2011. Until you can witness JB live, we invite you to check him out on his you tube channel, JB Baretsky. You can also like him on Facebook. There you can see him perform standards like, 'Fly me To The Moon', 'That's Life', 'Luck Be A Lady' and others. You will also see his vocal creativity as he sings a jazz rendition of Taio Cruz's hit , 'Dynamite' and the very moving, spiritual song, 'Hallelujah', a song JB dedicates to his cousin, Army Spec. Russell Carter', seriously injured in Afghanistan. He also sings this song for the moms who's sons are fighting over seas, that they all may return safe and out of arms way. I think this song really displays JB's ability to sing us a story, and how he uses his talent to convey his feelings through jazz music. JB is currently working on his new cd entitled, 'Less Is More', which will be released this fall. It will be a combination of his new music plus some of everyone favorite standards. I must admit that I am very impressed with this young man as a person, as a performer, and I truly believe in his commitment's to keep jazz alive. I also believe that we must support upcoming talent such as JB because of their desire to continue a tradition made famous by jazz legends who are a part of American history. Greats like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman, Lena Horne, Betty Carter, Quincy Jones, and many others. So Mr.JB Baretsky, on behalf of all the jazz lovers around the world, we welcome you and we thank you for your passion and dedication to preserve this music and culture established by the legends. Thank you for keeping jazz alive. God bless.
Richard F. Blackwell

Watch these videos with your students to begin career planning.
The Career Center exists to help your student navigate the sometimes murky and confusing waters of deciding on a major/career, seeking internships and employment, and applying to graduate school. We hope the information below will help you partner with the Career Center in assisting your student.
We encourage you to spend time with your student discussing this information.
Is there a value to a liberal arts degree, or does my student have to study something "practical?"
The advantages of a liberal arts degree are many. A student pursuing a liberal arts major has chosen this major (hopefully) because he/she has fallen in love with the subject matter and wants to learn as much as possible about it. As your student progresses through the courses, he/she is developing skills useful in the workplace, e.g. communication and analytical skills. The key to career success is your student's ability to articulate to an employer what his/her skills and interests are, as they relate to that particular employer. We can assist your student in learning how to do this.
What role do parents play?
The most important thing you can do as a parent is to support your student's career exploration and career choices, and to encourage your student to take advantage of all Truman has to offer. By encouraging, listening, and providing moral support, you can help your student to navigate the career development process, which can be stressful, time-consuming, and occasionally difficult. Discussing career issues with your student and encouraging him/her to actively use the Career Center throughout the Truman experience increases the likelihood that your student will identify career options and gain valuable career-related experiences. The result will be a smooth transition from Truman to graduate school or to the world of work.
What resources exist to help my student obtain an internship?
We have an array of printed and on-line internship resources. Our career library is stocked with several internship guides; on-line resources including Internships.com, internship postings on #HireTruman, and a database of the internship locations of recent Truman graduates. Students can also find internship possibilities through Career Expo, networking with faculty/internship advisors in their major, and by contacting one of the alumni on LinkedIn.
Does Truman hold regular job fairs?
Yes! The Career Center sponsors two career fairs each year, one during fall semester and one in the spring. Our Career Expos are extremely well attended by both students and employers, who tell us they love coming to Truman because of the high-quality, well-prepared candidates they meet.
Does the Career Center provide assistance for applying to graduate school?
Because over 40% Truman graduates go immediately to graduate school, the Career Center expends a significant amount of time and resources in this area. The flagship event for graduate school preparation is Graduate School Week, held every fall. The Career Center offers personal statement critiquing and assistance with locating graduate programs, as well as information on graduate entrance exams.
Does my student have to make an appointment to use the Career Center's services?
Your student can use the following Career Center services on a walk-in basis.
Résumé and cover letter critique
Career library and on-line career resources
Your student will need to make an appointment to access the following Career Center services:
Personal Statement Critique for Graduate School Admissions
Mock interviewing
Individual career planning needs
What do I do if I have more questions?
The staff of the Career Center is always happy to talk with you and your student about how to begin the career planning process. E-mail or call us with your questions, comments, or ideas, or have your student stop by.
(NOTE: Due to federal privacy laws, we are unable to share information with you concerning your student's visits to the Career Center.)

World Languages, Literatures and Cultures
Linguistics Program Moves to World Languages
The Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures is pleased to welcome Dr. Lynn Burley, Associate Professor, and Dr. Ramón Escamilla, Assistant Professor, to our department in the College of Liberal of Arts effective January 23, 2015. All of the faculty and staff look forward to working together to encourage students to discover the joys of studying languages and linguistics at UCA.
Welcome to the Department of World Languages, Literatures and Cultures
The Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures fulfills its mission by providing effective teaching of foreign languages, cultures, literatures, and language pedagogy. The Department educates students to understand the profound relationship between language and cultural identity that underlies true cross-cultural competency. Since we cannot truly understand people of other cultures without some knowledge of their language, we encourage our students to examine how language influences and sometimes determines cultural perspectives.
Specifically the language programs in the Department seek
- To develop proficient students with a functional control of the four fundamental language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
- To increase students' awareness, critical understanding, empathy, and respect for other cultures.
- To enable students to function effectively in a changing global community.
- To stress the relevance of the study of language, culture, and literature to career preparation.
- To develop a lasting appreciation for language and literature as a means of broadening our understanding of human experience.

The New York Times reported today about a fire in a mosque in the Palestinian village of Luban al Sharqiya, but the point of the article wasn't the tragedy of the conflagration but the theoretical possibility that a Jew was the arsonist.
The problem is, while there have been a few isolated incidents of Jewish extremists attacking Palestinian villages (and numerous, far-from-isolated instances of Palestinians attacking Jews in and around settlements), as the Times reports, there is absolutely no evidence that the mosque fire was started by a Jewish extremist and not even proof that arson started the fire. But that doesn't stop Palestinians from making such accusations and using them as an excuse to avoid peace with Israel. Nor does anything prevent the Times from reporting unfounded accusations as though they were reasonable opinions.
But in reading about the mystery of the fire in the mosque in this village south of Nablus, one couldn't help but remember the burning of another house of worship not far away. Less than 10 years ago, in the fall of 2000, a Palestinian mob, aided and abetted by Palestinian Authority "policemen," attacked the Tomb of Joseph, a Jewish shrine and synagogue inside Nablus. The mob sacked the Jewish institution, desecrated sacred Jewish objects, and then burned it to the ground.
Neither at the time nor since have Palestinians apologized for that crime, although the overwhelming majority of Israelis and Jews have apologized for the few instances where Jews have committed such an outrage. Nor did the Palestinian Authority apologize or help to rebuild the Tomb or restore Jewish worship to the place.
The fire at Luban al Sharqiya may be a mystery. What happened at the Tomb of Joseph was not. Nor was the burning of the synagogues left behind by the Jews in Gaza, committed by similarly bloodthirsty Arab mobs. While even the possibility of unprovoked Jewish violence against Arabs is deeply troubling, the cries of outrage from that Arab village and elsewhere among the Palestinians would have more credibility if they were just as outspoken in denouncing the hundreds, if not thousands, of instances of Arab violence against Jews in the territories that occur every year.

I've been waiting all my life to have a red-carpet moment, but who
knows when the Academy will get around to remembering my searing
director's debut at the age of 14, when I put on a musical version of
Hamlet to the theme song of The Beatles' "Obladi Oblada." (Maybe you
had to be there.) So I've decided to take matters into my own hands—not
to hog the limelight for myself, but to bestow accolades and acclaim to
a few of the brightest and best resources in our Artist Daily store!
It's often the case that when you live somewhere, you don't take full
advantage of the opportunities that the place affords, and only after
leaving do you realize how valuable those opportunities were. This
can be true for artists, who, after moving, may regret not utilizing a
strong local community of artists, not frequenting their former city's
art institutions, or not painting great parts of the local landscape as
much as they would have liked. Because I have moved across the country
several times in recent years, I've often felt this way. Recently,
though, I was lucky to have a second chance to appreciate an artistic
aspect of my life that I had once taken for granted.

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
ANNISTON, Ala., Aug. 13, 2005 The Anniston Army Depot takes its role as part of the "The Pitcrew of the American War Fighter" very seriously in its efforts to help fight the global war on terrorism.
It is here, a depot threatened by Base Realignment and Closure more than once in recent history, that the Army's Stryker vehicles are assembled, Marine and Army M-1 tanks and other combat vehicles are overhauled, and small arms are given a new lease on life.
The depot is the only Stryker assembly location that assembles all 10 variants on the basic vehicle hull, Hank Kennedy, the General Dynamics' production assurance and test manager, said. The different configurations suit many mission requirements - everything from an infantry carrier vehicle to a mobile guns system that incorporates a 105 mm turreted gun.
In partnership with contractor General Dynamics Land Systems, the depot is assembling two-thirds of the Stryker fleet. Mike Stewart, General Dynamics' lead technician on the Stryker project, is charged with making sure that each vehicle is operating as it should be.
"When I start it, I have to make sure everything runs right," he said, adding that he pushes the vehicles to their limits to make sure they meet specifications.
As a former Air Force master sergeant, Stewart said he can relate to the servicemembers who will rely on the vehicles he ships them. He also feels a certain responsibility toward servicemembers. "I look at every vehicle as though it had my children in it," Stewart said.
That sense of responsibility also is seen in those who perform the work the depot is best known for: overhauling combat vehicles.
Though it has the ability to overhaul any combat vehicle, the depot does not handle the Bradley fighting vehicles or multiple launch rocket systems, according to David Funderburg, the acting chief of track system division.
Marines call the depot the Corps' "provider of choice" for the repair of its M-1 Abrams tanks, Gilda Knighton, deputy director of mission plans and operations at the depot, said. The depot's technical excellence has earned this respect from the Corps in just three years.
The depot's reputation for excellence has come through its attention to detail.
In the depot's 1.5 million square-foot complex, the combat vehicles are completely disassembled, parts are repaired or replaced, and the vehicle is reassembled in like-new condition. No detail is too minute, according to Funderburg.
"(The employees) realize that soldiers' lives depend on the work that they do and the quality of that work," Knighton said.
Former Army Sgt. Volker Schlemminger, part of the team that overhauls tracked vehicles, said that the operations tempo has really picked up. For example, since Operation Iraqi Freedom began in 2003, the depot has increased its workload by 125 percent.
Schlemminger also knows how important the work being performed at the depot is. "Once soldiers are in place," he said, "they need to know the vehicles are going to work."
The depot is also quite proud of its small-arms repair facility.
It is here that everything from 9 mm pistols to .50-caliber machine guns are overhauled. The M-2 .50-caliber machine gun is currently being repaired at a rate of about 900 month, but Gordon E. McGrue, small-arms supervisor, expects that to increase in the near future.
The global war on terror is keeping the shop busy, McGrue said. Each piece has to be completely broken down, cataloged - or "serialized" in - reassembled and tested before being serialized out.
The testing is one step McGrue and his employees take very seriously. "There's no room for error in this business," he said. "It's do or die. I know firsthand that the soldiers appreciate it."
The pace at the Anniston Army Depot doesn't show any signs of slowing down. In fact, it just may increase if BRAC 2005 meets final approval as was presented to Congress: The Bradleys and the MRLS vehicles too will come to the depot for overhaul.

Channel Islands National Park
|Iceplant and coreopsis on Anacapa Island, Channel Islands National Park. (Joe Sohm/Photodisc/Getty)
The closest island to the mainland, Anacapa lies 18 kilometers (11 miles) southwest of Oxnard, and 22 kilometers (14 miles) from Ventura. Almost 8 kilometers (5 miles) long, its total land area is 290 hectares (about 1 square mile). Anacapa is composed of three small islets inaccessible from each other except by boat. For much of the year the island vegetation looks brown. With winter rains, the plants emerge from summer's dormancy and turn green. Sea mammals are often seen around Anacapa's shores. January through March is gray-whale-watching season, and migrating whales can be seen swimming along their 16,000 kilometer (10,000 mile) migration route. Western gulls, cormorants, black oyster catchers, and endangered California brown pelicans may be seen year-round. West Anacapa's slopes are the primary West Coast nesting site for the brown pelican. To protect the pelican rookery, West Anacapa is a Research Natural Area closed to the public. Except for Frenchy's Cove, no landings are permitted on West Anacapa without written permission from the park superintendent.
Transportation to Anacapa is provided by the park concessioner. Picnicking is allowed, but please carry all trash off the island. There are latrines but no fresh water. Near the small visitor center, a 2.4 kilometer (1.5 mile) self-guiding nature trail explores East Anacapa. Please stay on trails and obey closure signs for your safety and to protect fragile island resources. Beaches on East Anacapa are not accessible, but on calm summer days you may swim in the landing cove. At West Anacapa's Frenchy's Cove there is a beach and snorkeling area. Picnicking is permitted. The area is noted for the tidepools on the island's south side. The tide pools at Frenchy's Cove are protectednothing may be taken.
Many Scuba and skin diving areas around Anacapa reveal the island's beauty and varied marine life. Divers may photograph the undersea life and explore caves, coves, and shipwrecks. The steamer Winfield Scott grounded and sank off Middle Anacapa in 1853. Remains of the wreck can still be seen. Please take only photographssubmerged cultural and historical resources are protected by law. Souvenirs may not be taken. The wreck of the Winfield Scott prompted the establishment of a navigation aid on East Anacapa Island. A 50-foot tower was built supporting an acetylene beacon. This was replaced in 1932 with the present lighthouse and facilities. Do not visit the lighthouse. Severe hearing damage may result. The original lighthouse lamp is on display in the Anacapa visitor center. The church-like structure houses the island's water supply because no permanent source of freshwater is available. Other structures housed the lighthouse personnel and, today, are converted into ranger residences and the visitor center.
Evidence of the Coast Guard's presence is found all over the island, from the trail system that was once the island road to roof tiles found along the trailevidence of erosion containment efforts. Fishing requires a California fishing license. Camping on Anacapa is restricted to the campground on East Anacapa. Reservations are required (no fee), and you must obtain a permit in advance from park headquarters. Camping information is available at the mainland visitor center.

Over 30 years ago, I bought Sumurun in Cannes. I had first seen her during the early summer of 1975, when I was attending the Cannes Film Festival, as a member of the Board of the Film Society of Lincoln Center to help chose which films we might ask to be shown at the New York Film Festival.
I thought it might be more interesting to have a sailing yacht as my home in Cannes during the festival and I was right. We had a most interesting group of guests visit Sumurun to sail during the day, and attended the Cannes Festival films in the evenings. Some men I have heard go to film festivals to meet beautiful movie stars but I found Sumurun, and after some years of chartering her, I bought this 1914 Fife ketch and have remained her devoted owner ever since. We have sailed Sumurun in countless places including two Transatlantic Races and many Classic Yacht Regattas. We sailed on her in most of Europe, the Caribbean and the U.S. Northeast Coast.
On May 24, 2014, we will have a Centennial Celebration for Sumurun at the New York Yacht Club at Harbour Court in Newport, Rhode Island, and will send invitations to our friends and Sumurun's friends soon
A. Robert Towbin
Even before Sumurun slid into Scotland's Firth of Clyde on May 7, 1914, she was destined to become an aristocrat among yachts.
Commissioned by a beautiful and flamboyant baroness as a gift to her husband, named for an exotic harem girl, designed and built by a legendary Scottish yard that served many members of Europe's royalty, and hailed as one of the swiftest and most beautiful yachts afloat, Sumurun's story is filled with vivid personalities, a multitude of racing victories, and a serene elegance that has transcended the vagaries of nearly a century on the water. It is no wonder that those who love classic yachts the world over have a special affection for her.
It was Lady Victoria Sackville of Kent who commissioned William Fife and Son of Fairlie, Ayrshire, Scotland, to build Sumurun. She asked the yard to build "a modest boat."
Stunning, daring, and volatile, Victoria Josefa Dolores Catalina Sackville-West was just as much of a head turner as Sumurun would become. She was born in Paris in 1862, the second of seven children born to a British nobleman and diplomat, Lionel Sackville-West, and his cherished mistress, an internationally celebrated dancer of Spanish and Gypsy descent, Josefa de la Oliva Duran(always known as Pepita). Sackville-West and Pepita could not marry because it was impossible for her to divorce a husband she had left years earlier in Spain, but the two lovers remained together for nineteen years, until Pepita died after childbirth when Victoria was just eight years old.
In the first few years following her mother's death, Victoria and the rest of the children were looked after by friends of her mother's where they had lived in the south of France. She was then sent to a convent school in Paris, where she spent seven long, unhappy years before finally being allowed to go to England to be with the Sackvilles. Eighteen years old and turning into a captivating young woman,Victoria was given a crash course in English and quickly acclimated herself to the social graces of the upper class, all in preparation for the next stage in her life.
Lionel Sackville-West's sister Mary, Countess of Derby, who had become an extremely influential woman in England, convinced Queen Victoria that the young and inexperienced Victoria should become her father's official hostess after he was named the British minister to the United States in 1881. Soon after her arrival in Washington, D.C., this tall and slender daughter of the English foreign minister, who spoke with an exotic French accent, became the toast of the capital's society. With an alluring beauty, Victoria's dark blue eyes, long eyelashes, and masses of waist-length black hair charmed the men. She later claimed to have received at least 25 marriage proposals, among them one from J. P. Morgan and one from President Chester A. Arthur. She declined them all, and returned to England in 1888 with her father, who had by then inherited the title of Baron of Sackville and ownership of Knole, the family's palatial country estate in Sevenoaks, Kent.
Victoria took naturally to the role of mistress of Knole, overseeing its many servants and presiding over extravagant parties. She soon caught the eye of her first cousin, another Lionel Sackville, who would eventually become the Third Baron of Sackville after Victoria's father's death. Despite family opposition, the two were married in 1890. Two years later, their daughter, Victoria Mary Sackville-West, was born. Always known as Vita, she would grow up to be the avant garde poet and writer, and master gardener of Sissinghurst Castle, whose "open marriage" to Sir Harold Nicolson and intimate friendships with Violet Trefusis (great aunt of the present Duchess of Cornwall), Virginia Woolf, and other members of the convention-defying "Bloomsbury Set" created much gossip in more conservative circles.
Vita's mother Victoria was herself the subject of wagging tongues because of her sometimes-capricious behavior as well as her penchant for developing close relationships with wealthy and prominent older men (among them sculptor Auguste Rodin, millionaire William Waldorf Astor, diplomat Baron Carl Bildt, and celebrated architect Sir Edwin Lutyens). Her husband, Lord Sackville, was later described by Vita's son, Nigel Nicolson, as "an English gentleman of Edwardian attitudes," but for the first part of their marriage at least, neither he nor his wife seems to have been overly troubled by the other's extramarital dalliances.
One of Victoria's longtime and dearest gentleman friends was Sir John Murray Scott, who had been bequeathed a massive fortune by Lady Wallace, the Duke of Hertford's widow – much to the distress of Lady Wallace's children, who unsuccessfully contested the will. One of the richest people in Europe, Scott subsequently left a major portion of his fortune to Victoria, who in turn became the subject of litigation in 1913 when Scott's family challenged the inheritance, charging Victoria with "hypnotism" and alluding to much immorality not only on her part but also on her husband's.
The hearings were a cause célèbre, and society ladies eagerly arrived at court each day with their seat cushions. Victoria was charming and dramatic, wrapped the judge around her little finger, and was ultimately triumphant. For Lord Sackville, however, it was a painfully humiliating experience and served to deepen an already serious rift between the two of them.
Soon after the trial ended, Victoria decided to use some of her newfound wealth to have William Fife and Son build a yacht. Sumurun was launched in1914, and Victoria announced that it would be a gift to her husband. Sumurun remained Lord Sackville's yacht until his death in 1928 from complications of influenza.
This lissome new yacht was christened Sumurun after the character of a beautiful harem girl in the eponymous pantomime spectacle which had been staged by Max Reinhardt in Berlin and went on to enjoy great popularity in London's West End in 1911. Such a namesake could not have been a more appropriate choice for Lady Sackville, herself a compelling beauty with more than a streak of Gypsy blood whose mother had been a dancer.
Based on tales from The Arabian Nights, the pantomime tells the story of a wealthy old sheik's favorite concubine who defies her master by falling in love with a handsome cloth merchant. The glamorous silent screen star Pola Negri played a traveling dancer in the stage production, and later starred in a silent film of the same name (alternately titled One Arabian Night in the United States). The movie was directed by Ernst Lubitsch, who also acted in it, and it is considered one of his greatest cinematic triumphs.

"Today is a sad day in the Osbourne family house hold we lost R dog martin of 14 years. Devastated does not quite sum it up! #NotSoMerryXmas," Osbourne Tweeted on Christmas.
On her website, Sharon Osbourne describes Martin ("professionally known as Martini Bianco") as "a sophisticated little creature."
"Shunning the affection of women, Martin prefers the love of a good man," she wrote, along with a photo of the black pup.
The tiny dog was also featured prominently on the family's MTV reality show, The Osbournes.
Nevertheless, the family did appear to keep up familiar holiday traditions. "Every Christmas Eve the Osbournes have Christmas dinner and then exchange gifts. It's our holiday ritual," Sharon Tweeted on Sunday.

A checklist for buy-sell agreements
By Julius Giarmarco
Giarmarco, Mullins & Horton, P.C.
Business owners must know about buy-sell agreements. Without one, a closely held or family business could face substantial financial and tax problems upon an owner's death, incapacity, divorce, bankruptcy, sale or retirement. A buy-sell agreement makes sense for any business, including corporations, LLCs and partnerships. This article will outline the purposes for implementing a buy-sell agreement; the types of buy-sell agreements; and the main provisions of buy-sell agreements. It concludes with a checklist to critique an existing buy-sell agreement.
Purposes of a buy-sell agreement
A buy-sell agreement essentially has three purposes. First, it guarantees a market for a deceased, disabled or withdrawing owner's stock/membership interests. Otherwise, interests in a closely held business are difficult (if not impossible) to sell. Second, it guarantees the surviving or remaining owners control over the business. Otherwise, the heirs of the deceased, disabled or withdrawing owner could interfere with the business's operations. And finally, if properly drafted, the purchase price for a deceased owner's interests (as determined by the buy-sell agreement) will be binding upon the IRS.
Types of buy-sell arguments
There are three ways to structure a buy-sell agreement. First, in an entity redemption agreement, the business is the purchaser of the interests/membership interests. In such an event, the business would be the owner, beneficiary and premium payer of any life insurance policies funding the buy-sell agreement. Second, in a cross-purchase agreement, the owners are the purchasers of the interests. Accordingly, each business owner is the owner, beneficiary and premium payer of any life insurance policies (on their co-owners' lives). Finally, in a wait-and-see agreement, the owners wait until a triggering event occurs to determine whether the business, the surviving/remaining owners or both purchase the interests.
Therefore, any life insurance purchased to fund the buy-sell agreement is usually cross-owned by the owners. While the tax consequences to the selling owner are the same under all three types of buy-sell agreements, when a regular C corporation is purchasing the interests, the surviving or remaining owners do not receive a basis increase in their interests. In addition, if a regular C corporation is involved, a 15 percent alternative minimum tax is imposed on any life insurance proceeds received by the business. Therefore, the wait-and-see agreement funded on a cross-owned basis is generally the preferred type of buy-sell agreement. Three main provisions of a buy-sell agreement
There are basically three parts to a buy-sell agreement. First, those triggering events which result in an owner's interests being purchased or offered for purchase. Included in triggering events are "force-along" and "tag-along" provisions. For example, when a majority block of stock is being sold, can the selling owners force the minority owners to sell upon the same terms? Conversely, can the minority owners force the selling owners to tag-along on the sale? Second, once the buy-sell agreement has been triggered, the purchase price for the interests must be determined. Finally, once the purchase price has been determined, the payment terms must be established.
Other important provisions of a buy-sell agreement
Besides the triggering events, purchase price and payment terms, there are other provisions equally as important that should be included in every buy-sell agreement. If a corporation has made a Subchapter S election, then language should be included in the buy-sell agreement to protect against an unwanted termination of that election. If the owners do not want a withdrawing owner to compete with the business, especially during the buy-out period when the business may be "providing" the capital for the withdrawing owner's new venture, the buy-sell agreement should contain a covenant not to compete.
To prevent an owner-employee who is fired from claiming that he/she expected lifelong employment as a result of being an owner, the buy-sell agreement should provide that no owner has an expectancy of employment. The buy-sell agreement should also permit an owner who has been bought out the opportunity to purchase any life insurance policies on his/her life funding the agreement — but only after the buy-out is completed.
The buy-sell agreement should allow the owners to transfer their interests to a revocable living trust without triggering the buy-sell agreement. The promissory note and escrow agreement that will be used in the event of an installment sale should be attached as exhibits to the buy-sell agreement, so as to avoid disputes at a later date. Any promissory note made by the business in connection with the purchase of an interest should be made subordinate to existing and future bank financing. Otherwise, such note may hinder the business's ability to borrow funds for business purposes. Finally, the buy-sell agreement should contain language accelerating any payments due a selling owner if the business sells all or substantially all of its assets, pays excessive dividends or salaries, or engages in similar activities outside the ordinary course of business. The following is a checklist to help you review and critique an existing buy-sell agreement.

The 35-year-old striker suffered a suspected broken arm after landing awkwardly following an aerial challenge in the second period.
Gray is awaiting results of X-rays, though Bantams boss Phil Parkinson is not expecting to have him available for the trip to Ireland next week.
Parkinson said: "Unfortunately it looks like he has broken his arm. We won't know for certain until we get the X-rays but it does look that way.
"It is a blow for Andy because he has come back looking really fit. He has worked hard on his fitness over the summer and he has been towards the front with all the running tests. He has shown a great attitude in training so far, so it is a blow.
"These things do happen, however, and we'll get him back as soon as we can."
Bradford made light of their non-league opponents as they triumphed 4-0 at Nethermoor Park on Saturday.

A legal case against a school that used government-issue laptops to spy on its students has inspired a new bill to be introduced to ban video surveillance.US Democratic Senator Arlen Specter proposed a new law on Thursday making covert surveillance via camera illegal. The bill could require companies to either remove exisiting monitoring software which does this or devise contracts with staff to allow monitoring in certain situations."Technology is advancing quickly – often faster than our federal laws can keep up." Senator Specter said."Cameras in computers and cell phones are ubiquitous, making it urgent that the federal Wiretap Act protect our citizens from unwarranted intrusions in their homes where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy."The case behind the law is that of Lower Merion School District (LMSD) in Pennsylvania, which is accused of using monitoring software in the Apple MacBooks it issues to students. The case was brought by the parents of student Blake Robbins, who was disciplined for "improper behaviour in his home," based on images taken.The software used the laptop's webcam to take pictures every 15 minutes, as well as to take screenshots, and sent them back to the school server. The application was supplied by Absolute Software, which makes the popular Computrace laptop tracking software.The defence motion [PDF] says emails submitted by the school show that staff were impressed with the performance of the software. It was "a little LMSD soap opera," a member of staff is quoted as saying in an e-mail to Carol Cafiero, the school administrator running the program."I know, I love it," she replied.The school had said it had activated the tracking software 42 times this year but only in the case of stolen or missing laptops. Now it appears that the software was activated because Robbins' parents forgot to pay a $55 insurance fee and it was left on for over a fortnight, taking thousands of images.The defence alleges that the school also deleted some of the images of Robbins when asked to hand over files and that one other student was monitored because he had a similar name to someone under investigation.The family's lawyer said he had received statements from all school officials involved, apart from Ms. Cafiero, who exercised her Fifth Amendment right to silence. The defence has asked for her personal computer to be examined."While we deeply regret the mistakes and misguided actions that have led us to this situation, at this late stage of the investigation we are not aware of any evidence that District employees used any LANrev webcam photographs or screenshots for such inappropriate purposes," said the school district in a statement.

We have considered the development of the doctrine of the annihilation of the wicked by Irenaeus, of the school of John in Asia Minor, and also by Justin Martyr and Arnobius. We now come to the schools in which the doctrine of the final restoration of all men to holiness was taught, or favored.
School, What?
The word school is used in two senses: One, more general, to denote certain teachers and those who adopt their opinions, though not collected in one place where buildings are erected and teachers employed for purposes of instruction. The other is applied more strictly to denote institutions at which scholars are gathered, and teachers, libraries, and buildings, are provided for their instruction.
Of the former kind were the schools of Asia Minor and of Northern Africa. Of the latter were the schools of Alexandria, Cesarea, Antioch, and Edessa. Of these, that of Alexandria and that of Cesarea were properly schools truly Origenistic; that at Antioch, and that at Edessa, were schools under the influence of Theodore of Mopsuestia and Diodore of Tarsus.
Error of Historians.
As Theodore agreed with Origen in teaching the doctrine of final restoration, he has, by some historians, been spoken of as of the school of Origen. Hagenbach (Section 142, note 6) speaks of Diodore of Tarsus, and Theodore of Mopsuestia, as adopting the milder notions of Origen concerning a final restoration. This may have led Prof. Shedd, who follows Hagenbach as to his authorities, and is misled by him, to consider them as of the school of Origen.
But as the principles of interpretation adopted by Theodore, as well as his anthropology, were opposed to those of Origen, the result in which they agreed was reached in ways so different that it is not proper to call Theodore a scholar of Origen. Moreover, the history of the opinions of Origen, and their final condemnation under Justinian, is entirely separate from the history of the opinions of Theodore, and their condemnation under the same emperor. In addition to this, the extension of the influence of Theodore among the Nestorian churches was peculiar to him, and was not at all shared by Origen.
Origen and Theodore Contrasted.
We will, therefore, before continuing the history of the opinions of Origen, and then of Theodore, give a summary statement of their points of difference, and as Theodore, though a voluminous writer in his day, is little known by us, since his condemnation led to the destruction of the greater part of his works, we shall be more full in the presentation of his opinions. A great ignorance of them seems to be manifested even by some intelligent historians.
Theodore rejected almost entirely the spiritual, allegorical, and mystical interpretation of Origen; and, in common with the Antiochian school, adopted the principles of historical and grammatical interpretation.
Origen on Free-Will and Preexistence.
The system of Origen, also, was based on free-will, carried to its utmost extent, and never lost, so that reformation in sinners would be always possible. He also held to the preexistence of men, and that the original sinfulness of man in this world was the result of his fall and transgressions in a previous state of being. This fall, however, they had the power to avoid, and multitudes did avoid it. The hope of their final restoration lies in the fact that they have this indestructible power of free agency, and that God is able, in the course of ages of suffering, to induce them finally to use it aright, and to return to him, in love and obedience.
Opposite View of Theodore.
The fundamental principles of Theodore differed entirely from these. He did not hold to preexistence, or to any such extreme power of free agency as Origen taught. He held, on the other hand, that sin is an unavoidable part of the development and education of man; that some carry it to a greater extent than others, but that God will finally overrule it for their final establishment in good.
Dr. Bushnell Anticipated.
His principles of development and establishment in stable virtue, through an experience of sinning, in some points anticipate those of Dr. Bushnell, except that the latter does not push them to the result of universal restoration. Neander thus states his fundamental principles: "Human nature, nay, the nature of all created spirits, is, according to this system, so constituted from the beginning that it could no otherwise than by a redemption attain to its final destination." Of course, sin is unavoidable. This resembles Dr. Bushnell's idea of the necessity of turning the corner of a fall and redemption. But Dr. Bushnell would not agree with all the statements of Theodore, some of which we give, from the records of the Fifth Ecumenical Council, in which he was condemned for his Nestorian doctrines.
Two States.
He says: "It pleased God to divide his creatures into two states. One is the present, in which he has made all things mutable; the other is to occur when he shall renew all things and render them immutable. Of this final state he has showed us the beginning, in the dispensation of our Lord Jesus Christ, whom in his human nature he raised from the dead, and rendered immortal in body and immutable in mind, by which he demonstrated that the same result shall be effected in all his creatures." To illustrate the extent of his last remark, he proceeds to say that millions of angels and spirits will be established with men in immutability.
This immutability is to be the result of a final and full communion with God, in order thus to be pervaded by a principle of divine life. Any created beings, left to themselves, would be sure to sin and to need redemption.
Reason of the First State.
The reason why God left his creatures to themselves, in the first mutable and sinful state, was that they could in no other way than by an experiment of evil learn the worth of the opposite blessings. In book v., "De Creatura," he says: "God knew that men would sin in all ways, but permitted this result to come to pass, knowing that it would ultimately be for their advantage. For since God created man when he did not exist, and made him ruler of so extended a system, and offered so great blessings for his enjoyment, it was impossible that he should have not prevented the entrance of sin, if he had not known that it would be ultimately for his advantage."
What the Benefit?
But, it may be asked, what is the benefit to be derived from leaving the creatures at first to a state of mutability and sin? This question he thus answers: "It was not possible that in any other way we should have a full knowledge of the nature and consequences of sin, and the evils of our sinful passions, and know our weakness, disclosed in these experiences, so as to show by contrast the greatness of the immutability to be given to us, unless it had been so ordained by God from the beginning, that by experiment and comparison we might know the magnitude of those infinite benefits that are to be conferred on us. On this account knowing that it would, on the whole, be for our advantage, he permitted sin to enter." And, again: "It is the prerogative of a rational creature to distinguish between good and evil things. If, therefore, there were not opposite qualities, it would not be possible for him to discern the differences. Therefore, at the outset, he introduced these great contrarieties into his creation.
General View.
We will give another extract from Theodore, in which some of the things already said are repeated, but in new relations, and with a more full view of his system: "God did not introduce death among men unwillingly, and contrary to his judgment, nor did he permit the entrance of sin for no beneficial end. He was not unable to prevent it if he desired, but he permitted it, because he knew that it would be beneficial to us, or rather to all intelligent beings, that there should be first a dispensation including evils, and that then they should be removed and universal good take their place. Therefore god divided the creation into two states, the present and the future. In the latter he will bring all to immortality and immutability. In the former he gives us over to death and mutability. For if he had made us at first immortal and immutable, we should not have differed from irrational animals, who do not understand the peculiar characteristics by which they are distinguished. For if we had been ignorant of mutability we could not have understood the good of immutability. Ignorant of death, we could not have known the true worth of immortality. Ignorant of corruption, we could not have properly valued incorruption. Ignorant of the burden of sinful passions, we could not have duly exulted in freedom from such passions. In a word, ignorant of an experiment of evils, we should not have been able properly to understand the opposite forms of good."
Agency of Christ.
In the view of Theodore, therefore, this universal restitution of all to holiness was the end aimed at in the first dispensation, involving sin and to be effected through it. Christ and his cross, moreover, he regarded as the centre of the great movement toward universal restitution. In support of this view he appealed to such passages as Col. i. 19, 20: "For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell; and having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth or things in heaven." These, then, were the doctrines of Theodore "the Interpreter," the great oracle of the Nestorians and of their schools
Person of Christ. – Nestorianism.
Out of this system grew his peculiar views of the person of Christ, whose supreme divinity he fully believed. God ordered, in his view, that in his human nature he should go through a development which should be the type and exemplar of the development to be wrought in us, and therefore he maintained that sharp separation between the human and divine in the person of Christ that resulted in Nestorianism. For these reasons to the Nestorian churches he was ever the great Scriptural interpreter and theological oracle.
Nestorian Liturgy.
We are now prepared to understand the full import of the following extracts from the sacramental liturgy which he drew up for the Nestorian churches, in which he introduced the great proof passage from Colossians, which we have quoted. (See E. Renaudot's "Oriental Liturgies," vol. ii., p. 610.)
In the opening part of the service, in accordance with the statements of Theodore as to the relations of Christ to the harmonizing and establishment of the universe in holiness, the priest sets forth "the Son of man, an acceptable victim offered to God the Lord of all for all creatures in the universe."
Then, in prayer, the priest reviews the dispensation of the incarnation, and says of Christ: "He is the head of the Church, the perfecter of all beings, by whom all things are accomplished. He, by the Eternal Spirit, offered himself an unspotted offering to God, and sanctified us by the oblation of his body once made. Moreover, he made peace by the blood of his cross, among those in heaven and in earth." After this he says, "Let us celebrate the great, tremendous, sacred, and divine mystery, by which a great salvation was made for the whole human race."
After this he says in prayer: "We offer with contrite heart and humble spirit, before thy glorious Trinity, this sacrifice, living and holy, which is the mystery of the Lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world, asking and entreating before thee, O Lord, that thy adorable divinity may take pleasure in it, and by thy compassion this pure and sacred offering, by which thou art appeased and reconciled, may be accepted in behalf of the sins of the whole world."
Farther on he says, "This sacrament is offered for all kinds of men who live in sin and error, that by thy grace thou wouldst make them worthy to know thy truth and adore thy majesty, that they may know thee whose will it is that all men should live, and turn to and acknowledge the truth."
The true meaning of this liturgy no one can doubt who knows the system of Theodore, and notes the emphatic extension of the atonement to all the universe declared in it, presenting Christ as the perfecter of all creatures, and who considers the fact that it does not confine the efficacy of the sacrament almost or quite exclusively to the Church, as the Romish liturgy does, and others of that class, but extends it to all mankind without exception, and to the whole creation. Any one who will read this liturgy side by side with the Romish will not fail to be struck with this radical difference.
Of the liturgy of Theodore, Renaudot says it is the second of those generally used in the Nestorian Church, and is found in all the manuscripts. It was also translated for the use of the churches of India.
Of the Nestorian churches, he says they peculiarly revere Theodore, and call him, by way of eminence, the Interpreter, on account of his numerous commentaries on the word of God.
Theodore's Confession of Faith.
In Theodore's confession of faith this relation of Christ to the salvation of all is once more clearly presented. Of him he says: "He is called the second Adam, by the blessed Paul; constituted an Adam of the same nature, and showing to us the future state, and exhibiting so much difference from the first Adam as will exist between him who bestows the ineffable gifts of the future state, and him who began the present mournful state of things. In like manner, he is called the second man, as disclosing the second state, because Adam began the first, a state mortal, and possibly full of many pains, in which he showed a typical similitude to him. But Christ the Lord began the second state. He in the future, revealed from heaven, will restore us all into communion with himself. For the apostle says, The first man was of the earth earthy, the second man is the Lord from heaven, that is, who is to appear hereafter thence, that he may restore all to the likeness of himself."
Those who recall the statements of Dorner and other leading historians, of the influence of Theodore as a theologian, and the most eminent divine, and the master of the East, will regard as of great historical moment the statements we have given coming directly from himself. Of the influence of these Nestorian churches more will be said hereafter.

PRO FOOTBALL: Hynoski Sr. says son is upbeat heading into surgery
If the past is any indication, Henry Hynoski's first serious injury as a professional football player won't stop him.
Hynoski, the Southern Columbia graduate who is starting his third season with the New York Giants, will undergo surgery today to repair his medial collateral ligament and a chip fracture in his left knee. Hynoski was hurt during the second play from scrimmage during an organized team drill Wednesday.
"There was a little more to it than was reported," said Henry Hynoski Sr. on Thursday. "One of the defenders got a little overzealous and he kind of got sandwiched between guys."
Hynoski Sr. and his wife were on their way to New Jersey to visit with Hynoski before the surgery.
"He's positive and upbeat," said
the elder Hynoski, who played for the Cleveland Browns in the mid-1970s. "That (injuries) is part of football and you have to accept it. He'll survive."
Hynoski sat out several games during his rookie season of 2011 with a shoulder injury but this is the first time he will have surgery since he began his pro career as a free agent after playing at the University of Pittsburgh.
He said Thursday that his goal is to be ready for the Giants' season opener in September and was told by doctors "that is not an unrealistic goal."
Hynoski may have to battle a little more for his starting spot when he gets back, though. He was the only fullback listed on the team roster and chances are the Giants may go out and look for some backup at the position. Their only option right now is tight end Bear Pascoe, who plays fullback on passing downs.

Below is the poem entitled BABUSHKA which was written by poet
Mehta. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Dr.Ram Mehta
The whole village busy looking at the new star
*Babushka busy cleaning her house entire
So busy to tidy her house failed to hear
The sounds of the drums and pipes
She missed even the star to see.
Suddenly heard loud knocking on her door
Three kings and a servant at her door
Needed a place to rest until the night falls
As her house was the tidiest.
Serving baked bread, pies and cakes
She asked very many questions to the kings
King Caspar said they have come a long way
King Balthazar said they follow the new star
That would lead them to a new born King,
The king of kings, The King of Earth and Heaven
And asked to accompany them to see the star.
Babushka asked so many questions to herself
"How about the dress? What a work pending?
No, excuse me, I have no time."
Again the star appeared in the sky
The kings departed sadly.
Working the whole night she got tired
And slept for the whole day.
Finally, she took all the toys
She washed for the New Baby
Ran down to the path the kings had taken
Asking about from village to village, town to town
Finally knew the kings had gone to Bethlehem
Where she was informed by the landlord of an inn
The kings were there for two days
But he couldn't provide them the room, stayed in stable
She visited the stable but of no avail,
There, a man informed her that kings went their places
After finding the world's Savior who she missed.
Babushka is still looking for Him.
• Based on the legend of a Russian woman living in a small village*

- Quinnipiac Women's Lacrosse Schedule
- NEC Women's Lacrosse Homepage
- Helen Street School Homepage
HAMDEN, Conn. – The Quinnipiac University Women's Lacrosse team visited third graders at Helen Street School on Friday to complete a winter reading project. Former Bobcat Laura Iannotti '11 teaches at Helen Street and worked with the coaching staff to coordinate the visit. "Anytime we can get to work with children, we always have fun," said head coach Danie Caro. "It's an amazing experience for our student-athletes to interact with young children in a classroom environment. And I think the elementary students really enjoy seeing college athletes and getting to talk to them about their sport."
Members of the team worked with the students in small groups to read a winter themed book, and completed a "descriptive writing" graphic organizer based on that book. To finish the project, the players and students collaborated on winter scene art projects. The Bobcats also shared information with the third graders about their sport and the equipment they use to play lacrosse.
According to Iannotti, "It was so great to see my former teammates interacting with my students. The kids really look at them as role models. I think having collegiate athletes come into the classroom really shows my students the importance of education. I'm so proud of the team's enthusiasm and dedication to giving back to the community. It means the world to my students."
The Bobcats have begun pre-season training and are scheduled to officially open the 2013 season when they host Yale University on February 27, 2013. The non-conference match-up is scheduled for a 3:00 pm start time at the Quinnipiac Lacrosse Turf Field.
Quinnipiac fans should refer to the Official Website of Quinnipiac Athletics, www.QuinnipiacBobcats.com, for any schedule changes as well as the latest news, scores and highlights. The 2013 Quinnipiac Women's Lacrosse Schedule is available for download at www.QuinnipiacBobcats.com for all mobile devices, including iPhones and iPads, as well as all desktop computers.

While September's arrival means summer's twilight hours may be fading into the horizon, this month also marks the celebration of National Coupon Month!
You may not know it, as we don't have a cute little CGI gekko to repeatedly remind you during every single commercial break while you're trying to enjoy the return of football or Scott Disick impersonating Todd Kraines (don't ask how I know about this), but spending just 20 minutes a week "coupon clipping" can save you at least $1,000 every year.
Why, might you ask, would I've bothered to place quotation marks around "coupon clipping"? Well, gone are the days of mindlessly thumbing through every circular packed into the Sunday papers, scissors methodically dissecting page after page of coupons, then stuffing binders full of coupons and rebates that may never again see the light of day. I shudder to think of the money still being wasted purchasing coupon books.
According to NCH Marketing's Coupon Facts Report, just last year retailers distributed roughly 305 billion coupons that consumers used to save $4.6 billion. Consider, for a moment, your contribution to that collective $4.6 billion in savings. Are you saving at least $1,000 every year with coupons? Were you to dedicate slightly more time and effort to seeking out better deals and utilizing coupons on a more regular basis, how much more do you think you could save?
Well, from everyday spending at the grocery store or in your local coffee shop to big-ticket purchases like HDTVs and laptops to apparel and accessories, where there's a will to save on all these products and more, there's a hand-picked aggregator of the best coupons, deals, and promos available both in stores and online (*cough cough wink wink nudge nudge* etc.).
We realize you have better things to do than commit 20 minutes a week, let alone an entire Sunday, to sorting through circulars or an inbox full of retailer newsletters with coupons and sales. That's why the entire Brad's Deals team is committed day in, day out to finding and sharing the best deals, coupons, and promos available with the hope that we can help eliminate as much of the effort it takes for you to live well while spending less.
September may be National Coupon Month, but we've been treating every day like it's National Coupon Day for the past 12 years. Be sure to keep checking in and to sign up for Brad's Daily Alerts in order to stay abreast of the best coupons and deals to help you work towards saving (at the very least) that $1,000 every year!
