With a pair of fifth-year seniors leading the way, a core group of returning players with valuable experience under their belt, and a handful of talented newcomers eager to prove themselves at the next level, look for the 2010 LMU volleyball team, which is led by first-year head coach Tom Black, to turn heads in the competitive West Coast Conference. A NEW ERA BEGINS Tom Black was hired as LMU's women's volleyball head coach on January 19th, 2010. Before coming to LMU, Black served five seasons at the helm of the UC San Diego women's volleyball program. In all, Black coached four UCSD players to All-America selections, including a trio in 2009. Moreover, the 2006 Tachikara/ AVCA D-II Pacific Region Coach of the Year watched 20 of his student-athletes garner California Collegiate Athletic Association All-Conference recognition, capped by five selections in 2009. Over his five years, Black posted a career record of 115-29, good for a .799 winning percentage, and saw his teams ranked in the AVCA Top-25 of every week for his final four seasons. Black's 2009 Triton squad finished with an overall record of 29-3 and was ranked as high as No. 2 in the nation en route to a spot in the NCAA West Region semifinals. The Tritons' 2009 trip to the postseason marked the fourth consecutive visit over Black's fiveyear tenure at UC San Diego, while the No. 7 final national ranking was the second top-10 finish for Black at UCSD. Black also saw three of his student-athletes earn AVCA All-America recognition in his final year, including Sylvia 6 Schmidt, who took home a CCAA Player of the Year award, the second such recipient under Black's tutelage. THE 2010 LINEUP Five newcomers join a program that returns 10 letterwinners and six starters from a year ago. The team will be without its two leading attackers from last year, but a number of young players return after earning valuable experience just a year ago. Combine the existing talent in the program with the exceptional newcomers, and the Lions should see battles for starting positions and an exciting and successful season in 2010.

Right Time. M aybe that we're the only Catholic University in Los Angeles and one of the world's renowned Jesuit institutions, a group that includes 28 universities in the United States and over 100 schools worldwide. Or, maybe, it is that Loyola Marymount University has been called a Hidden Gem by the Washington Post and ranked among the Best in the West by U.S. News & World Report. Or that our serene campus, overlooking Marina del Rey, offers one of the most exhilarating academic locations anywhere. Or that our five colleges, all connected to Los Angeles, enable students to make current contacts in technology, business, politics, art, music, and naturally, the entertainment industry. Yet there's something more to consider. If you're looking for a place to acquire facts and skills that will help you get along in the world, you have many choices. But if you're looking for a place where God fits in, a place that honors faith as well as reason, Loyola Marymount University may be the place for you. At LMU, we inspire you to take ideas apart and learn how they fit together. You'll test your limits, forge enduring friendships, promote justice and become a contributing citizen of the world.

T he Chronicle of Higher Education notes that at Jesuit institutions, this precept "translates into a large amount of individual attention from faculty members and accessibility to high-level administrators, including the president." At LMU, students don't simply benefit from cura personalis; they practice it, too, carrying out the Jesuit ideal of "men and women for others." The Marymount sisters contribute a history of educating women and teaching through the arts, with a deliberately international perspective that encourages respect for all cultures. LMU brings these gifts together in seven colleges: • Business Administration • Communications and Fine Arts • Film and Television • Liberal Arts • Science and Engineering • School of Education • Loyola Law School INSIDE THE LIONS: William H.

UNIVERSITY MISSION AND IDENTITY L oyola Marymount's Mission and Goals Statement, approved by the Board of Trustees in 1990, succinctly states in its preamble the university's three-fold mission: * The encouragement of learning * The education of the whole person * The service of faith and the promotion of justice These often quoted phrases are at the heart of the campus community's communal self-understanding. When unpacked, they tell us much about LMU's identity as a Catholic, Jesuit/Marymount university. INSIDE THE LIONS: LMU sits on a bluff that provides some of the best views in all of Southern California. From the edge of campus, one can see from Catalina Island, all the way to Downtown Los Angeles and beyond to the San Bernardino Mountains. CAMPUS MINISTRY CLICK TO PLAY... IGNATIAN SPIRITUALITY MARYMOUNT INSTITUTE 27 INITIATIVES/PROGRAMS Develop the Whole Person. IT'S WHO YOU ARE WITH hen it comes to providing friends and mentors, you won't find a university surpassing LMU. The campus population comes from all 50 states and 70 countries. Better still, LMU offers more than 140 extracurricular organizations that hone the students' skills and help them find like-minded colleagues for life. Whatever the religious belief, the university pays attention to individual spirit. "I've thought a lot about what makes my friends at college different than those from high school, and I've realized that the people at LMU live up to the mission of being men and women for others," said a sophomore. Students are free to examine faith in social or service activities. W IT'S WHERE YOU LIVE Every fall, nine out of 10 first-year students take advantage of LMU housing and for some very good reasons. Some of the benefits of LMU living are simple: an active social scene, meal plans that allow students to dine at various campus locations, and easy access to classes and campus facilities. But university housing offers much more than simple convenience, it also gives students an edge. As a resident, students are immediately plugged into programs that help them achieve better grades, meet new friends, develop professional contacts and graduate in a timely manner. At LMU, we know that everything you do - including where you live - shapes the person you're becoming. So LMU offers themed living communities where you pursue your education in a social context that's relevant to you. Here, you live and learn in an environment that promotes reflection and character development, where your values are celebrated, challenged, shared. IT'S WHERE YOU'RE BOUND "We're trying to get rid of you," said professor Kelly Younger, who directs the Honors Program, likes to tell LMU students. He's referring to the study abroad opportunities, scholarships, internships, academic conferences and competitions that take students off campus and into the world. When it comes time to graduate, students will have the knowledge, the confidence, and the strength of spirit to achieve anything the students can imagine. To help you toward your ideal career, LMU offers a network of loyal alumni. "Even the summer after graduation, I am already aware of the benefits that LMU alumni networking offers," says a new alum. "When we leave the undergraduate family, it's as if we graduate into an even larger family that offers constant support." INSIDE THE LIONS: The sunken gardens is at the center of LMU and is the hub of activity, including home to more than 10,000 that attend graduation each May. STUDENT LIFE CLICK TO PLAY...

ATHLETICS' MISSION STATEMENT T he mission of the department is to provide an environment for student-athlete development that supports the pursuit of the highest level of success athletically and academically for the growth of the whole person in the tradition of the Jesuit and Marymount ideals. The purpose of the Intercollegiate Athletics Program at Loyola Marymount University is to support the overall mission, goals and objectives of the University by complimenting its primary academic pursuits with championship sports programs. Additionally, Loyola Marymount University Athletics supports "Pursuing Victory with Honor." MISSION STATEMENT QUICK FACTS DIRECTIONS 29 STAFF DIRECTORY History of Champions. 2000s 1900s F 1930s 1940s rom the very beginning, LMU has extablished a history of champions. In the 1930s it was three straight ice hockey championships. In the 1940s the legendary Pete Newell played for the Lions and the rivalry with Pepperdine (1941) began. The 1950s saw Bob Boyd win the NCAA title in the 100-yard dash. The 1960s saw the Lions win their first basketball championship, and one of their first Olympians, rower Hugh Miller Foley (1964). In the 1970s, Loyola and Marymount colleges merged and saw women's sports begin their dominate history, incluing a pair of tennis championships (1977, 78). LMU then exploded in the 1980s with more individual national champions (Therese Kozlowki in cross country) and more Olympians (Paul Sunderland men's volleyball gold medal in 1984). The decade also included LMU's trip to the College World Series (1986) and two women's rowing Varsity Four National Titles (1981, 86). The 1990s started with one of the most memorable moments in sports history with the men's basketball run to the NCAA Elite Eight in the 1989-90 season. Women's volleyball became the first program to win three straight WCC titles (1994, 95, 96), thanks in part to Olympian and All-American Sarah Noriega. Baseball would end the 1990s with three straight titles, the final coming in 2000. Then came the past decade, as the Lions won more titles (22) than the previous 70 years combined. Leading the way were the men and women's water polo programs, winning a combined 15 titles, including five straight (2001-05) and eight in 10 years by women's water polo. 1990s a CLICK HERE FOR LMU'S ATHLETICS HISTORY 1980s 1950s 1960s ATHLETIC HISTORY ALL-AMERICANS 1970s CHAMPIONSHIPS 30 HALL OF FAME Leadership.

And that approach has brought success never before seen at LMU. Since taking over the program in 1998, the Lions' success has been some of the best in program history, Husak firmly believes the program has "just scratched the surface." The past 13 years have been some of the most successful in school history, winning more than 54 percent of its dual competitions and claiming 28 conference championships and 35 NCAA postseason appearances. Off the field, the Lions have had a 65 percent increase in national scholar-athletes as 208 claimed the honor in the 2009-10 academic year. His administrative efforts in striving for that success has been and continues to be a four-pronged approached focused on people, operational budgets, facilities and endowments. For Husak it starts with developing a family of coaches, support staff and administrators who believe that LMU's athletics program can be among the elite in the nation. His tenure has been marked by enhancing the support of the athletic teams through: • Staff: Growth of head coaches from 9 to 19 in 10 years • Facilities: $35 million in enhancements since 2000 • Operational: LionsFund support at record high • Endowments: Scholarships tops among WCC Husak is quick to acknowledge the success of athletics is due to a University committed to its programs.

It is not LMU's oncampus commons area, the Lair, University Hall or the LMU bookstore. It is the LMU Athletics Training Room. Right around 1,000-square feet, the LMU training room at any given moment in season is what Assistant Athletics Director of Athletic Medicine Keith Ellison calls "organized and controlled chaos." On a given day, the Athletics Training Room will see about half of the 450 student-athletes at LMU.

With more than 50 years of experience in the field, the Training Program provides services that include a philosophy that places a high value on health and wellness, a program that allows injured student-athletes to return to their sport as soon as medically safe and to substantially reduce the risk of athletic injury for those student-athletes. staff: The Training Room at LMU features state-of-the-art equipment in a 1,000-square foot athletic medicine complex.

Leading the way in developing a strength and conditioning program that will be the basic building blocks to forming champions is Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Bobby Harmston, who is in his first year at the helm of the program at LMU. "We are here to train our student-athletes to be, first and foremost, the best athletically they can be," said Harmston, who came to LMU in the summer of 2009. "We will be based around training the student-athletes at LMU to be fit across all 10 physical skills. We then will be training them to be sport specific athletes after we develop them as an overall athlete." staff: LMU STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING MISSION STATEMENT "The LMU Strength and Conditioning Department will help all studentathletes reach their full athletic potential by developing all aspects of their physical and mental fitness.

Former Detroit Lions quarterback Scott Mitchell was stunned and saddened to hear former teammate Lomas Brown say last week that he intentionally missed a block during a 1994 game against Green Bay because he wanted Mitchell to get hurt. Mitchell, who played 14 years in the NFL, called out Brown this week in interviews from his home in Utah. "It just really hurt," Mitchell said Wednesday on the Dan Patrick radio show. "It was extremely disappointing. I'm really shocked by it, to be honest. "Here's a guy I've had in my house, I had a big dinner for the offensive linemen every year. He came to my house and ate dinner. I gave my offensive linemen gifts every year. For him to do that is just reprehensible, beyond words. It's really disappointing. It really is painful. "When you mess with my family, mess with my livelihood, mess with my health, it's unacceptable. It's B.S. I just wouldn't do it to a teammate. I wouldn't do it.

Washington Gov. Jay Inslee asked the federal government to issue a disaster declaration for the state, just after the confirmed death toll from the recent mudslides hit 24.
The disaster declaration will help the state obtain aid for reconstruction and to help the 30 or so families who were left homeless by the mudslides. So far, Mr. Inslee guessed the devastation has caused about $7 million in structural damages and another $3 million in miscellaneous personal damages — and that's just to the 30 families hit hardest, Fox News reported.
The Snohomish County Medical Examiner's Office said it's now taken in 24 victims, 18 of whom have been identified to the public.
Search dogs are still on the job, and accompanying handlers say they're finding human remains, or partial human remains, several times a day, Fox News reported.
Mr. Inslee's request for the disaster declaration was sent by way of a letter to federal authorities. He's also asked for the ability to tap into disaster housing, disaster grants, disaster-related unemployment insurance and crisis counseling programs for residents of several counties.

James McCord Shingledecker (#114855639)
I maintain the memorial for John Shingledecker, my 3rd great-grandfather. You maintain the record for James McCord Shingledecker, one of John Shingledecker's sons. Could I trouble you to add this relationship to your record for James McCord Shingledecker? His father would b John Shingledecker, memorial #149071370. John is buried in the Mahoning United Presbyterian Church Cemetery, located on the Pennsylvania side of the border between New Castle, PA and Struthers, OH.

RE: William Herman Brewer
Janet you are probably right. Aunt Lessie died Nov 30 1952 and was born April 15 1898. She is buried in Abernathy Texas. He probably married Elsie J Flowers and I didn't know anything about it. He is my grandmother's brother. His son Willie Herman born Aug 6 1923 and died Jan 11 2013 in New Mexico and I saw him last at a Brewer reunion in 2006 has a obit that says his mom was Lessie Land. Uncle Willam Herman probably married again after Aunt Lessie died and then when he died his wife was Lettie Veda Watkins born April 25 1902 and died Jan 22 2000 and that is on the records at Fort Bayard. I would appewciate it if you would update his find a grave so we have it correct.I am going to go ahead and post his photo on yours and when you update it I will post Aunt Lessie's on hers. He lived in Silver City and I only saw him when he came to Abernathy Texas to visit my grandmother. Thank you Delores

He was not married to this lady. He was married to Aunt Lela Lessie Land until she passed away and later married a Watkins. His information is correct and where he is buried just wrong wife.

I am glad that you were able to find her burial location through the memorial I created. Are you aware that you can click on the photo of her death certificate and open a bigger copy? This is all I have and I don't have anything that would be clearer. You might be able to order one from the state of Washington that would be clearer.

In Their Own Words
"We need to develop ways to teach families to talk about their individual and shared past together in ways that facilitate adolescent self-understanding and self-esteem. We need to teach families to talk about their negative experiences and their negative emotions in ways that help adolescents learn to manage and regulate their negative affect, rather than to act out on it. These are not difficult concepts; if we can help families to collaboratively construct narratives then we can help families buffer adolescents from the stress and storm of adolescence and help these adolescents to form healthy adult identities. Families build resilience through building stories."

Why "Clueless" is the Best Jane Austen Adaptation
"…read all of Northanger Abbey…as a commentary on fangirl culture" YES.
Why "Clueless" is the Best Jane Austen Adaptation
"…read all of Northanger Abbey…as a commentary on fangirl culture" YES.
Horror author Stephen King admits he's never read Jane Austen.
I don't have much interest in "relationship" novels or romance. I've never read Jane Austen. I do not say this with either pride or shame (or prejudice, for that matter). It's just a fact.
We are moved to quote the film Miss Austen Regrets:
If that's what you think they say, my dear, perhaps, you should read them
We are having Dorothy make note of these cleaning tips.

'Maid of all work' – courtesy of Lewis Walpole Library
Many of our posts take a look at the upper echelons of Georgian society, so this time we thought it might be interesting to look at what it would have been like to have worked 'below stairs' as a housemaid in a Georgian household: it's not quite Downton Abbey though!
Although these duties weren't written until towards the end of the Georgian era, the workload would more than likely have been the same for the previous hundred years or more. Having taken a look, our conclusion is that it's certainly not a job for us, what do you think?
Statute Hall for hiring servants
A housemaid should be active, clean, and neat in her person. Be an early riser, of a respectful and steady deportment, and possessed of a temper that will not be easily ruffled. She must be able…

It is a truth universally acknowledged that websites are like sharks: they must continually move forward or die.* So it's time for AustenBlog to make with the fin and big teeth.
If you haven't yet heard, Jane Austen's House Museum is raising funds to purchase a letter written by Cassandra Austen to Fanny Knight a couple of weeks after Jane Austen's death. The letter is currently on loan to the museum and on display there. They have from May to July to raise £10,000. They have already raised money for the purchase via the Heritage Lottery Fund's Collecting Cultures scheme, but need to raise the additional money from individual givers.
The letter was written on July 29, 1817. Cassandra is responding to a letter from Fanny.
Nothing of the sort could have been more gratifying to me than the manner in which you write of her, and if the dear angel is conscious of what passes here, and is not above all earthly feelings, she may perhaps receive pleasure in being so mourned.
Cassandra is past her first grief and making arrangements for the disposition of Jane's things, including a lock of her hair; she inquires whether Fanny wants it set in a ring or a brooch. Being the executrix of Jane's will, these are necessary actions, but one can imagine the heartbreak–and healing–that accompanied them.
You can read the whole letter at Molland's. The letter (dated July 29) is about two-thirds of the way down the page.
You can donate through the campaign's Just Giving page, or send a check directly to the Museum. Do try to send something–even just a small amount. Lots of people giving small amounts adds up to a big amount. Let's do this, and bring the letter home.
JASNA Louisville has announced that they have established the Jackie Johnson Memorial AGM Scholarship to pay the registration and hotel costs to attend the AGM. The scholarship is open to any member in good standing of JASNA as of May 1, 2015, who has never attended an AGM. If you've always wanted to go to the AGM and can't afford it, this is a great opportunity!
It's not a lottery; you have to write an essay. Jane wouldn't want it to be that easy. :) The essay prompt and directions can be found at the link above.
The scholarship honors Jackie Johnson, a member of JASNA Louisville who passed away in 2014. What a wonderful way to honor her memory. Even if you don't want or need the scholarship, go read the link and learn about Jackie.
The wonderful, beautiful, moving musical of Pride and Prejudice by Amanda Jacobs and Lindsay Warren Baker is currently playing at La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts in the Los Angeles area. It is running through May 10. If you are anywhere in the area and can get there, make every opportunity to do so. It's a terrific adaptation and the music is wonderful. To get a flavor of it, check out the musical's Facebook page as well as La Mirada's Facebook page, which have photos and videos of the play. They are both public, so you don't need to be a Facebook member to see the photos and videos. There have also been several reviews: StageSceneLA, Broadway World (lots of photos in that one!), and the OC Register.

Conducting regular meeting is a must. In fact, offices allot the necessary space in order to have these meetings. Meetings have the ability to evaluate and recalibrate agendas in a company. For the management, there are times when finding a function room can be tricky. Fortunately, there are a lot of venues out there to choose from.
Should you decide to have a meeting, it is imperative to evaluate the needs of your peers. But really, what are the things that you will need to remember if you are going to choose from the meeting room rentals around the area? These are some of the traits that you should look for in a top meeting room rental singapore.
Is the location ideal?
First thing that you need to remember is that when it comes to business meetings, the location should play a huge role. Are you going to have the meeting in an ideal location that is accessible to everyone? Perhaps, somewhere that doesn't require anyone to travel for a long period of time?
Does it have the technology necessary?
What are the necessary technologies today? It is common that you'll see business meetings conducted not only with those individuals within the area, but also with those business partners abroad. This is where the wifi connection and projectors could come in handy. Are these things available in the meeting room? Also, it is important to have the necessary tools which could be used for presentation.
Does it have comfortable seats?
Comfort is an important factor to consider. For those business meetings, the ambiance should be professional. It should have all the necessary tables and seats that would accommodate those who are going to be in the meeting.
How many meeting rooms are for rent in a particular venue? It is important to know if there is enough number of rental meeting rooms. This way, you know if you have to book weeks before the actual day of the meeting. Rates should also be reasonable. Try to compare the rate of the room with the other meeting venues. Of course, the more popular the meeting venue is, you could expect a higher price for these venues.
Is it quiet?
The area where the meeting is going to be conducted should be conducive for presentations. It should be quiet in order to ensure that everyone inside the room could concentrate on what is presented in front of them.
It is a challenging decision to pick the place where to conduct the meeting. These days, a lot of businesses have their meeting outside their office. This is a necessity especially if you need a more sophisticated venue.
There are many reasons why you'll end up using the function room. For instance, there are times when you need to evaluate the direction of the company. Also, function rooms are needed in order to present new ideas that could be useful to the company. Finding the right meeting room rental can be a challenge. With these tips, it is easier for you to pin point the right one.
