Two days prior to the start of their junior year, the Class of 2017 took part in "Concepts and Models," a half-day session that's part of the Park Scholarships' comprehensive Leadership Academy. Steve Barr and Paul Mulvey, professors in the Poole College of Management's Department of Management, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship and former Park Faculty Scholars, led the session, which focused on self-awareness, personality, and communication styles.
Park Alumni and Leadership Coaches Afford Class of 2017 Perspective
The Krispy Kreme Challenge: Paving the Way for Entrepreneurship
Greg Mulholland's name has a permanent spot in Park Scholarships lore, in great part due to his role in co-founding the Krispy Kreme Challenge. When asked how the experience of starting a running-and-donut-eating charity race helped prepare him for launching his own business, he offered the following insights.
Park Scholar Connections Propel Silicon Valley-Based Startup
Park Scholars point to their peers – similarly ambitious and hard working individuals – among the most influential aspects of the Park experience. Synergies between scholars are at the core of campus-based initiatives like Service Raleigh, Triangle Youth Leadership Services, and the Krispy Kreme Challenge, but they also extend well beyond graduation. While Greg Mulholland '07 and Jordan O'Mara '07 initially followed disparate paths after NC State, now they're drawing upon one another's strengths to build a potentially revolutionary startup

Christopher Heine | December 12, 2011 | Comments
Though @Zappos account collects cobwebs.
Zappos will give away free merchandise in exchange for Twitter buzz leading up to Christmas. In an effort dubbed "12 Days of Zappos Twitter", the brand's style expert Brooke Hyden will announce via Twitter that day's featured gift while encouraging followers to tweet "#12daysofzappos" in order to be entered into winning the item.
According to a Zappos rep, if enough consumers tweet, up to three people will be able to claim the prize each day. The gift items will be either women's or men's clothing or accessories.
The brand's secondary Twitter account, @ZapposStyle, is serving as the campaign hub. The Las Vegas company is also pushing the initiative on its Facebook page (204,000 fans/likes) and via a microsite.
What's relatively surprising is that the brand's @Zappos account - which has 1.9 million followers and is manned by Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh - has not been used to promote the "12 Days" campaign. By comparison, the @ZapposStyle account has only 8,000 followers.
Considering the huge Twitter audience he's attracted, the low frequency of tweets by Hsieh is intriguing. In the last seven months, he's posted five times. None have been promotional.
Christopher Heine was a senior writer for ClickZ through June 2012. He covered social media, sports/entertainment marketing, retail, and more. Heine's work has also appeared via Mashable, Brandweek, DM News, MarketingSherpa, and other tech- and ad-centric publications. USA Today, Bloomberg Radio, and The Los Angeles Times have cited him as an expert journalist.

It is not easy to be a softball player in Lyons. The Lady Lions are a 2A school playing in a 3A league. Not only do they have to compete against bigger schools with a greater student population, they play in the best 3A league in the state.
With four of the top 3A teams competing within the league, it is not surprising that the Lady Lions are struggling. At 4-10 on the season, it is still possible that they may make Regionals due to the strength of schedule, but they will need to win at least one more

Photos of the Year 2013
by Rangefinder Staff
December 05, 2013 —
As editors, writers and photographers, our staff is lucky to have first access to wonderful imagery throughout the year. But often we learn at editorial meetings: Each of us has very different tastes. The next few pages give us a chance to reveal our personal favorite images that were either made or published this year—and show how many diverse opinions go into compiling a single magazine.
David Carol's Picks
Heidi Horowitz is a "maker" of images who uses photography as a personal narrative. When you see her series of images, you wonder if they are autobiographical, playful, sarcastic or maybe all three. The photos work on many levels and I think it's up to the viewer to decide which one speaks to him or her. —DC

"Playing," by Bobby Doherty
©Bobby Doherty
I'm an avid reader of New York magazine (and obviously love food), so I'm consistently impressed by the publication's genius use of conceptual food photography with a sense of humor—much of which is shot by Bobby Doherty, an on-staff photographer for the publication. This particular image—an octopus on plaid—is from Doherty's personal work, spurred by his shopping experiences at Sunrise Mart, a Japanese market. "I was just totally inspired by the packaging and the food that they were selling," Doherty says. In an October 2013 interview with our sister publication PDN, 24-year-old Doherty said that he shoots images like these in-studio, often using paper backdrops and speedlights to achieve the vibrant colors.—JG

I am a fan of the photo story. Jared Soares spent about two years photographing local hip-hop artists in Roanoke, Virginia, for his "Small Town Hip-Hop" project. He didn't have an easy start, as some of the guys were skeptical about what he was really doing. Soares is a long-time fan of hip-hop, and admires the hard-working spirit and positive energy these artists have. —AW

Church and Society in Eighteenth-Century France - Vol. 2
By John McManners
Church and Society in Eighteenth-Century France - Vol. 2
By John McManners
In this second volume of McManner's magnum opus, the author explores the relations of Church and State: the wealth of the clergy and their payment of taxation, and their role in the official life of the nation, in the Court at Versailles, in the army and navy, in collaboration with the police, and on the scaffold. He details throughout the tensions within the Church establishment and between clergy and laity, arriving at their denouement in the final description of the descent of the reign of Louis XVI towards the Revolution.

Bud, Not Buddy (1999)
by Christopher Paul Curtis
» 7 more
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book did a great job at depicting the events that went on during the great depression era. The language is very stern and serious in regards to the topic but it has a great way of adding humor to keep the kids interested. It gives kids an understanding of what it was like as a child with no family and growing up as an orphan during the great depression is not easy. Bud sure did make it out and had a heart of gold after going on an adventure to find his dad and then being rejected by him. I also believe its a great book for question and answers because kids in foster families or that are orphans can receive a lot of answers from this book. It was overall a great and easy read.
I really liked the book Bud, Not Buddy because it displays what the life of a young African American child might have gone through during the Great Depression. For example, Bud goes through the foster care system a lot, and ends up being in one with a terrible older kid who harasses and bullies him to the point where it gets violent. This book shares a lot of realistic struggles and really gets the reader's attention. The main idea is to show readers what life could've been like for them if they were in Bud's position during the Depression.
I listened to this book, which was fun. The man who read it did a good job. Newberry winner.
Ironically, this Great Depression narrative was as uplifting as any chicken soup. I highly recommend it to fluent readers, grades 5-8.
Bud, Not Buddy is a tense book that took place during the Great Depression. Love the determination in this book and his want to find his father. You do not want to put this book down.

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0553494104, Mass Market Paperback)"It's funny how ideas are, in a lot of ways they're just like seeds. Both of them start real, real small and then... woop, zoop, sloop... before you can say Jack Robinson, they've gone and grown a lot bigger than you ever thought they could." So figures scrappy 10-year-old philosopher Bud--"not Buddy"--Caldwell, an orphan on the run from abusive foster homes and Hoovervilles in 1930s Michigan. And the idea that's planted itself in his head is that Herman E. Calloway, standup-bass player for the Dusky Devastators of the Depression, is his father.
Guided only by a flier for one of Calloway's shows--a small, blue poster that had mysteriously upset his mother shortly before she died--Bud sets off to track down his supposed dad, a man he's never laid eyes on. And, being 10, Bud-not-Buddy gets into all sorts of trouble along the way, barely escaping a monster-infested woodshed, stealing a vampire's car, and even getting tricked into "busting slob with a real live girl." Christopher Paul Curtis, author of The Watsons Go to Birmingham--1963, once again exhibits his skill for capturing the language and feel of an era and creates an authentic, touching, often hilarious voice in little Bud. (Ages 8 to 12) --Paul Hughes
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:22:53 -0400)
Ten-year-old Bud, a motherless boy living in Flint, Michigan, during the Great Depression, escapes a bad foster home and sets out in search of the man he believes to be his father--the renowned bandleader, H.E. Calloway of Grand Rapids.

Mary Bess Sigman?
Jan. 4, 2012, 12:04 AM
Anyone have an experience working with her? I have heard really good things so far about her, but thought I would grab a few more opinions.
Jan. 4, 2012, 03:05 PM
I've schooled with her several times, and she has always been super helpful. Several of my friends ride full time with her, and have nothing but good things to say. I also always see her at events and she rides several nice horse.
Jan. 4, 2012, 06:04 PM
I've known Bessie since she was just a kid mixing eventing and vaulting and scraped knees and ... :lol:.
She's worked with some of the best from Lellie Ward to Mike Winter to Karen O'Connor...and her riding as well as her teaching and training have evolved year after year. She has high expectations for herself, her training, her horses, and get ready, her students. You may have to ask some questions (isn't that what good students no matter what are supposed to do from math to reading to RIDING?)...and you will have to work, but I guarantee you won't find a person more fun, more willing to figure out stuff right along with you, laugh with, support you, and let me tell you, Bessie can get hurt big time right along with the rest of us. Just a few Christmas' ago we all were overcome with terror when one of her young horses managed to fall on her while warming down - Bessie's back was broken, there was some paralysis, later successful surgery...and then an incredibly comical heavy plastic, form fitting brace to wear driving and teaching and coaching - the road back to advanced was painful but she got there with lots of work, good friends, and a wonderful Guinea Pig...:lol:
Go meet her, meet her people - lots of them your age and they come from all over GA to Triple Creek Eventing, right out here in the middle of nowhere...I really expect you'll enjoy your lessons, and if you will ask questions, Bessie will teach you as well as she's been taught...and again, she's learned from the best. Did I say enough? And yes, the Bessaroo has taught me, and will again...don't know if she's brave enough yet - :lol: :cool:
Jan. 5, 2012, 02:41 PM
I'm not an eventer, I'm a foxhunter. I went to a clinic with Mary Bess a few years ago and she was great! I loved it and really learned a ton.
When finances and work schedules permit I would really like to go back up there for maybe a week and just take a whole bunch of lessons.
Jan. 5, 2012, 08:52 PM
Bess is wonderful. She's not only an accomplished rider (multiple top 20 placings at the 3* level), but an accomplished trainer. She has coached multiple students from Young Riders to Adult Amateurs, and all enjoy her humor as well as her skill. She won't push to the point of being uncomfortable, but she'll push you enough so you'll learn. A lot. I've ridden with her on several occasions and have thoroughly enjoyed her. Give her a shot, you won't regret it!
Jan. 5, 2012, 09:34 PM
I don't know her personally, but I do know her Dad - great guy and a wonderful family. If she's anything like Dr. Mike, she's the berries!
