MOUNT VERNON—Brewton-Parker College's recent Fall Showcase Oct. 19-20 on the Mount Vernon campus featured an overnight stay and several "first-hand" college experiences, such as a chapel service led by NASCAR Chaplain Christian Chapman.
This two-day weekday event allowed high school juniors and seniors to not only stay overnight in the residence halls with BPC students but attend classes and other activities on campus. Prospective students had a chance to tour BPC's beautiful campus, learn more about majors at various display tables, and find out more about applying to college and financial aid. They also had a chance to eat lunch with BPC's faculty, staff, and students.
According to BPC Admissions Director Sandra Clay, "Brewton-Parker hosted 36 students, many accompanied by their parents or school counselors for a campus visit event this Thursday. We are pleased with the day and want to thank faculty, staff, and BPC students who helped make it a good event. Based on student and parent responses, they enjoyed the experience and felt it gave them a chance to see what Brewton-Parker had to offer them. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a good day for our visitors."
To learn more about what BPC has to offer, contact the Office of Admissions at 912-583-3265.
Brewton-Parker College is the only accredited four-year Christian college in south Georgia.
The mission of Brewton-Parker College, a Georgia Baptist college, is to develop the whole student through the application of Biblically-centered truth to a liberal arts curriculum in a community of shared Christian values.

The authors define a reference model for applying formal methods to the development of user requirements and their reduction to a system's behavioral specification. Their approach focuses on the shared phenomena that define the interface between the system and the environment in which it will operate and on how the parts of this interface are controlled.

Hi Everyone! How are you doing? This is the outfit I'm wearing today. I remember when cropped tops were starting to make a comeback a few years ago, I told my husband that I would never see myself wearing one, even though I actually really liked them and found them cute...just not on me. Somehow I always thought cropped tops were a little too revealing. Well, today I broke a RULE! I'm not going to lie, I was kind of hesitating about this outfit while I was walking back and forth to the mirror for like an hour before I finally left the house. :D But in the end I was happy with my choice. I thought it was lovely with the floral pants, kinda girly-twirly. :) I hope you are all having an amazing week and are doing well! I wish you guys a wonderful day with good weather and lots of laughter!<3 Thank you so much for reading! Lima xoxo

When I was a young teen my mom would tell me not to get in trouble because she would have to take off work, what would the neighbors think, it would cost money she didn't have, etc. Well I was a nerdy one and never 'got in trouble', but my thought was "so?" My point is that she never told me how it would affect ME.
You write about what YOU want for your child. If you are saying that to him ("I want you to…") I wonder how much that means to him. If you explain everything that can happen to HIM based on certain behaviors, good or bad, it makes a world of difference. To my children I'd say, "I tried that and it didn't work because… Don't be a dummy like I was." That, of course, may not work for everyone but it worked for me… and them.

éS Game Of SKATE – Brea, CA – Liberty Boardshop
Sunday June 7, 2009
The second stop on the 2009 éS Game of SKATE tour landed us in Brea, Ca. We rolled up to Liberty Board shop early to find throngs of kids already waiting for us and eager to sign up. With a typical Southern California day at hand, and a parking lot full of eager skaters, the tone was set for a great Game of SKATE!
By three o'clock we had signed up 160 skaters – a few of them were veterans of the local Games of SKATE, but the trend this year seems to be a ton of new faces; with some great skating coming from the under-twelve set.
In an amazing thrid round match-up, Carlos Lastra and Matt Lemond faced off in lane 5, in what could have easily been a finals match-up, with Carlos coming out on top. This was easily Carlos' hardest battle in his quest for the finals, but when you have tricks in your bag like 360 flip late-flips and hardflip late-flips, it probably doesn't seem that difficult to win.
Heading down the stretch into the semi-finals we saw some great match ups between Wisconsin shredder Ethan Sontag and Justin Owens, former Game of SKATE crew-member Pepito Galindo and Jonathan Carter, Luis Calderon and Edgar Torres. The semi finals had wünder kid Marcel Garayev, Luis Calderon, Ethan Sontag, Robbie Jeperson, Edgar Torres and Carlos Lastra all facing off against each other. Some of the best match-ups of the day produced our finalists: Carlos Lastra, Robbie Jeperson and Edgar Torres.
Robbie started the finals off easy with a kick flip, Edgar Torres maintained his powerful style throughout but in the end it was Carlos Lastra finishing off the competition with a trick familiar to many Game of SKATE hopefuls, the front shove late-flip, for the win. Carlos will represent Long Beach in the éS Game of SKATE finals this fall, date and location to be announced later.

The Newtown Township Park and Recreation Board met on Wednesday, September 6, 2006, in the Newtown Township Building. In attendance and voting were: Andrew Levine, Chairman; Joel Grosso, Vice Chairman; Michael Clancy, Kathy Kelly, Buck O'Neill and Susan Sutton, members. Also in attendance were Bill Wert, Park and Recreation Director; Philip Calabro, Township Supervisor and Russell G. Strover, Township Naturalist.
Call to Order
Mr. Levine called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM.
Approval of Minutes
Mr. Clancy moved to accept the minutes of June 7, 2006. Mrs. Sutton seconded and the motion passed 6-0.
Mr. Clancy moved to accept the minutes of August 2, 2006. Mr. Grosso seconded and the motion passed 6-0.
New Business
First Evergreen Preliminary Plan
Dan Cohen of First Evergreen was in attendance to review First Evergreen's plans to build a 120,000 square foot office building on their 6-acre property at 826 Newtown Yardley Road. He said that his firm already owns the other office building at this location. The plan is to erect a new building, not attached to the existing structure. It is to be used for medical offices. He said that he had considered offering open space for dedication, however, the engineers on the project recommended requesting to pay a fee in lieu of dedication.Mr. Grosso moved to recommend that the Board of Supervisors accept a fee in lieu of open space from First Evergreen for a building at 826 Newtown -Yardley Road.
Subcommittee Reports
Park Development
Mr. Levine reported that the park development subcommittee met with residents and sports association representatives to discuss the possible use of the Wiggins tract for soccer. Neighbors have expressed some concern about use of the property for a few soccer fields for daytime use. The Board of Supervisors has approved the use of Upper Makefield/Newtown Soccer Association funds to obtain a highway occupancy permit to install a small gravel parking pad. Restaurant 552 has also been involved in some discussion of the possible use of its parking. Orleans Homebuilders has agreed to create the entrance to the fields as part of a highway occupancy permit to improve Gaucks Lane for a development. It is possible that Orleans could be persuaded to do this work sooner than planned.
Mr. Grosso and Mr. Wert expressed some concern about using private club funds for improvements to public parks. They did not want to create an environment in which certain clubs would feel entitled to exclusive use of the fields.
Mr. Levine said that during the meeting the Supervisors discussed using open areas at Roberts Ridge or Silver Lake parks for fields, but later agreed that these locations would require too much improvement to create suitable playing surfaces.
Mr. Levine said that as a result of the discussions about the Wiggins Tract, Supervisors' Chairman Ann Goren requested a timeline for development of the Woll Tract. Mr. Wert and Township Manager Bob Pellegrino are drafting a request for proposals for engineering. Mr. Pellegrino had indicated that the Supervisors had voted to earmark the RCN settlement money to development of the Woll tract. Using this money, engineering could begin within a few months.
Mr. Wert reported that he has had conversations with the Council Rock School High School Athletic Director about the damage to the field behind Staples. Because the damage is not as severe as originally thought, the field could possibly be used for some Upper Makefield/Newtown Travel Soccer home games. The High School will possibly use the field for home games only, not for practice. Mr. Wert said that although the High School and the Soccer Association had offered to repair the damage, our public works department did the repairs, so as not to create any expectation of exclusivity. He said that because there is a tremendous need for additional playing fields, he is looking at possibly using some outfield areas at Helen Randle Park, if they are not being used by fall softball programs.
Mr. Calabro expressed some concern about the use of Newtown Township fields by Upper Makefield sports organizations, and about Upper Makefield's open space available for park development.
Mr. Levine briefly reviewed the allocation of Upper Makefield's playing fields. He said that the soccer league is comprised of 1200 children, of which 800 are Newtown residents. A few of Upper Makefield's soccer fields in Washington Crossing Park are not available this season. Completion of fields at Brownsburg Park was delayed. Upper Makefield's Park and Recreation Board has expressed interest in holding some joint meetings to discuss playing fields. Mr. Levine said that he would also like to discuss regional field needs with the County Park and Recreation Board.
Mr. Grosso expressed some concern about the Board losing its focus on development of the Woll tract. He asked whether it would be possible to move any faster on the engineering of the Woll Tract.
The Board discussed possibly requesting the Township Engineer to prepare an estimate of costs for engineering of the tract. Remington & Vernick does have some park experience. Members agreed that the Board of Supervisors should be asked to vote on either issuing an RFP for engineering or asking Remington & Vernick to prepare a budget to begin the engineering, by September 30 of this year, to move the project along.
Mr. Wert said that in preparing the RFP, a few outstanding questions must be resolved, including whether to phase in the park, whether a traffic study should be conducted as part of the proposal, and whether resolution of certain zoning issues should be included in the proposal.
Members agreed that the engineering plans should be drawn for the park to be constructed in phases. If funds become available, it could be phased in more quickly. The Board had agreed to a traffic study when the concept plan was presented to the Planning Commission, so members agreed it should be done as part of this proposal.
The members discussed the zoning issues. The tract is located partially in the CM and partially in the POS districts. POS has a lower permitted impervious surface ratio, and unless the parcel is re-zoned, a variance could possibly be needed. Mr. Levine suggested that this issue could be resolved separately from the RFP.
Mr. Levine said that he would include this discussion and a request to either authorize Remington & Vernick to prepare an engineering budget or to advertise an RFP in his report to the Board of Supervisors. He said that he hoped a vote would be taken one way or the other during the September meetings.
Mr. O'Neill reported that he has continued to meet with the high school students who have formed a sub-committee to plan a skate park. They have been gathering information about equipment, but do not yet have an appropriate location.
The Board discussed using Carl Sedia Park, as it is within walking distance to the high school and middle school. There was some concern about neighbors' objections.
Mr. Grosso said that he favors including the skate park at the Woll tract. The park would then have activities for children who do not participate in team sports. It would be a busy, easily monitored location, and it would not be a disturbance to neighbors, if located within the park.
Mrs. Sutton agreed that this would make Woll tract a very welcoming environment for many children.
The Board discussed the time involved in bringing a skate park to the Woll tract. Mr. Grosso noted that choosing another location would also take time, and if Woll is phased in, the skate park could be part of the first phase.The Board reviewed costs associated with building and maintaining a skate park. Mr. Levine said that the skate park in Middletown was funded by private donation. Middletown requires the purchase of tickets or passes to use its park. The revenue then covers the cost of staffing. Liability waivers are required before tickets or passes are issued.
Liaison Reports
Board of Supervisors
Mr. Calabro asked whether there is a trail sub-committee within the Park and Recreation Board.
Mr. Wert said that there had been a separate trail committee, which has disbanded. Now trails, as linear parks, are within the park development sub-committee's purview.
Park and Recreation Director's Report
Mr. Wert reported that the Township camps were a success, with increased revenue and participation. All camps are completely self-sufficient. Over three hundred children participated in camps for pre-school through middle school age children.
The department has seen an over all increase in revenue of 3.8%, with a slight decrease in participation, primarily in youth sport programs. The fall brochure, consisting of 32 pages, and 417 program sessions, is to be mailed next week.
Work continues on Roberts Ridge Park of Possibilities. The playground is expected to re-open in mid-October. Block Grants have been awarded to re-side and paint the barn at the Clark Nature Center. A fountain, donated by Commerce Bank, has been installed by the Public Works Department at Silver Lake Park.
Mr. Strover reported that a number of scout and high school links volunteers have placed the wood chips that were removed from Roberts Ridge along Clark Nature Center trails. The Board discussed asking the Board of Supervisors to recognize the many volunteers who have worked at the Clark Nature Center and other Township parks.
Mr. Wert shared a sample Park and Recreation e-newsletter he created. This e-letter was created through a private company, which works with PRPS. He is considering developing an e-mailing list for the Park and Recreation Department, to supplement, and eventually replace, paper flyers sent through the schools or mailed to past program participants. He noted that a number of neighboring school districts have begun using e-mail only to communicate with students and parents. St. Andrew's School has begun requesting e-mail flyers instead of paper copies, for distribution to students. In response to questions from the Board, Mr. Wert said that no e-mailing lists would be sold or shared.
Member Comments
The Board congratulated Mr. Wert on being elected to the Bucks County Open Space Task Force.
Mr. Levine said that his wife expects to join the parent board of Upper Makefield/Newtown Soccer Association. He will not participate in future discussion involving the club.
The Board thanked Mr. Calabro for his consistent attendance at meetings. His support and guidance is greatly appreciated.Mr. Clancy moved to adjourn at 10:00PM. Mrs. Kelly seconded and the motion passed 6-0.
Respectfully Submitted:
Mary Donaldson, Recording Secretary

1926 Ford Model T Racer news, pictures, specifications, and information
Many Model T's were modified for performance and racing. Many incorporated over head valve conversions by Rajo and Wienfield. Ruxtell transmissions gave the vehicles even more flexibility and performance. Additional carburetors and open exhaust completed the performance modifications.
Source - Canton Classic Museum
Model T was faster than a man could run. It was even faster than a horse could run. That was not fast enough for many owners who wanted something even faster than a wife.
Builders and racers of fast Fords followed a similar evolutionary plan in reducing wind resistance by removing body parts to cut weight. Solving the speed problems of Model T proved a challenge to their skill. Inventiveness saved the day in many ways. Even when these dust-eaters finished short of perfection in design and construction they savored the joy of original and creative engineering.
As the dust settled from this unfolding era of the fast homebuilt car one inalienable fact emerged: appreciation had become universal for the Model T Ford chassis - and particularly for its under-stressed engine block - as a basis for bigger things than the maker had intended.
This coming-of-age in the speed equipment field brought about a tremendous reconfirmation and strengthening of popular interest in the Ford as a speed car.
Frontenac Speedster
This Model T Speedster was developed for racing in the United Kingdom using high performance parts, including the famous Frontenac cylinder head invented by the Chevrolet Brothers. It made four-cylinder engines competitive in racing. Builders of Ford-based race cars found it perfect for the Model T power plant.
There is a story, not fully authenticated, that a Frontenac Model T race car was built by Alfred Moss, the father of British racing driver Stirling Moss, to campaign in the United Kingdom. The story says it was raced on both sand and board tracks. The power plant is an inline, 4-cylinder, 122 cubic-inch engine with 2-valves per cylinder, developing 80 horsepower at 4000 rpm, compared to the standard Model T engine producing only 20 horsepower.
Faultless Speedster
The Model T Ford was built on a light weight, but rugged, chassis. With its stock twenty horsepower engine, the average Model T touring car could easily achieve top speeds of 50 miles an hour.
Almost immediately upon its introduction in 1909, the Model T Ford chassis became the natural basis for building simple yet effective racecars. While Ford did not sponsor racing efforts, thousands of Model T's were modified for use in racing efforts locally, nationally and worldwide. Some were simple stock Model T's that had their bodies removed and were fitted with bucket seats and a gas tank. By removing the bodies, the weight of the average Model T was reduced by nearly 40 percent which, of course, would add to its top speed. By the early 1920's, aftermarket manufacturers were building a wide variety of components that would convert the Model T into a fast and stylish racing or sporting vehicle. Some companies such as Rajo and Frontenac were offering overhead valve conversions that would double the Ford's horsepower while other companies were offering complete aftermarket bodies that would transform the average Model T touring car into a stylish, two seat sports car.
This Model T Speedster was built on a 1926 chassis and has a two-seat Speedster body built by the Faultless Company, which was one of many accessory companies that built bodies for the Ford chassis.
The Ford Model T has an extensive history in the automotive market lasting for nearly 20 years. It is often called the 'Tin Lizzie' and the 'Flivver' and is credited with 'putting America on wheels.' During the early 1900's, the automobile was very new and the market place was adjusting to having these horseless carriages carry its passengers rather than bicycles or horses. Steam, electricity, and gasoline were the three means of powering the vehicles. Up until about 1915, no one really knew which would be the favorable power-source. Steam provided many benefits such as being quiet, clean, and cheap. Gasoline or kerosene fuel was used to heat water in a boiler; the steam produced was channeled to the cylinders, where the pressure drives the pistons up and down. The shortcomings were that it took a while to start, having to wait for the steam to prepare. It was dangerous, often exploding and causing injury. It had a limited range, lasting about 20-40 miles before requiring a refueling. Electricity was popular but it too had a limited range. It was easy to start and was very popular with the ladies for driving around town. Then there was gasoline, which was dirty and hard to start. It required fueling stations which were sometimes difficult to find in this new and evolving marketplace. The main benefit of the gasoline engine was that it had the most potential and an ever increasing amount of power. It was said that how a vehicle finished on the race track often determined the success of sales. With gasoline engines winning most of the races, the other sources of power were eventually doomed.
There were over 200 automobile manufacturers during the early 1900's. The average production figures for a factory were a couple hundred vehicles a year. This of course varied greatly due to the complexity and prestige of the vehicle being produced. Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company, produced a vehicle that was affordable, but more importantly, mass produced. By using an assembly line to construct parts, rather than the traditional hand assembly, the process was streamlined. Using an assembly line process was not new, it had been done before in the meat packing industry. William C. Klan had visited a slaughterhouse in Chicago. Upon returning from his visit, he proposed the idea to Peter Martin. A team was assembled and perfected through trial and error. The assembly line did not begin operation on the Model T until 1914. The assembly line process streamlined the production greatly, now averaging just over 90 minutes to assemble a car. During 1914, there were more Ford's produced than all other manufacturers combined. At that point 'you get it in any color you wanted so long as it was black'. Henry Ford favored the black color because it dried the fastest. During the years 1917 through 1923, Ford did not do any advertising, with 9 out of 10 cars being Fords, none was necessary.
He paid his workers a wage proportionate to the cost of the automobile, so they would be able to buy what they produced. By introducing these innovations, his factories were able to out produce and outsell the rest of the industry and mobilize the country. When production of the Model T began, the cost was around $850, around $1200 less than most cars. By the early 1920's, the price of the Model T cost about $300. Ford had found many ways to cut costs and offer the least-expensive product. He instructed his suppliers how to assemble the wood crates that were used to ship him parts. The crates were then dismantled and used within the bodies of the car. The scrapes were made into charcoal and sold under the name 'Kingsford'.
The first Model T was produced on September 27th, 1908 at the Piquette Plant in Detoit, Michigan. There are two classes of the Model T, those that were produced before 1919 and after 1919. The pre-1919 Model T's are known as veteran cars while the later models are called vintage cars. Even though the name Model T was used for almost twenty years, it was much improved both visually and mechanically over the years. At all times, the vehicle could be had in a wide variety of bodystyles. The open touring cars and roadsters were cheaper to produced and thus, produced in greater numbers. The Volkswagen 'Beetle' is the only car model to outsell the Model T Ford.
The Model T was designed by Henry Ford, Childe Harold Wills, Joseph A. Galamb and Eugene Farkas. A 177 cubic-inch four-cylinder motor was placed in the front and powered the rear wheels. The 20 horsepower engine was capable of carrying the vehicle to a top speed of around 45 mph. There were three main bearings and side valves. A ten gallon fuel tank could be found beneath the front seat, mounted to the frame. The engine started by a hand crank located at the front of the vehicle. The crank was very difficult to operate and has been the cause of many broken arms.
The smaller engines were favored by Henry Ford. His Model K had used a six-cylinder engine, but when production ceased around 1908, a six-cylinder engine would not be used again by Ford until 1941. The Model K had not been a sales success. While Ford had wanted to produce small and inexpensive vehicles, his board of directors had persuaded him to produce a larger, luxurious, and expensive model. In 1906, Henry Ford purchased the majority of stock leaving him in control and in charge of the direction of the company. After World War I he purchased the remaining Ford stock so he could dispense with the board of directors entirely. From 1906 through 1908, Ford created the Model N, R and S which eventually evolving into the Model T.
A 'three speed' planetary gear type transmission was used. This had been used in the Model K but was not suited to such a large vehicle. As a result it suffered from frequent breakdowns, but worked fine in the Model T. The 3-speed unit was actually two-speeds forward plus one reverse. With no clutch pedal, shifting was handled by floor pedals that did not require a clutch. Also located on the floor was a third pedal which operated the reverse gear. The throttle was controlled by a lever on the steering column. Neutral was located by the parking brake lever. The other foot pedal applied a band around a drum in the transmission. The parking brake lever operated the band brakes on the outside of the rear brake drums. When the hand lever was pulled back, the brake was engaged and the drive gears were disengaged.
Wooden 'artillery wheels' were standard until 1926 when they were replaced with steel wire wheels. The suspension was a transversely mounted semi-elliptical spring for both the front and rear axle. Brass was used throughout the earlier vehicles for items such as horns, radiators, and headlights. Headlights were acetylene lamps but later switched to electric lights.
Sales peaked in 1924 with over 2 million automobiles leaving the assembly line. By this time, many of Ford's competitors had switched to the same principles that had made the Model T success: a cheap and reliable vehicle built on an assembly line produced in mass quantities. Other manufactures started attracting new buyers by offering amenities, extras, or larger engines. Popular options included windshield wipers, anti-theft locks, and light dimmers. Chevrolet vehicles had three forward gears while the Model T still used only two. Also, since the Model T's were so durable, they were still in functioning order. Meaning that many owners did not need a car or when they did, they usually bought a more luxurious vehicle. The used Model T's were then sold for next-to-nothing. Sales began to dip in 1925 and dramatically in 1926. Production ceased in 1927 for nearly six months while preparations were made for the production of the Model A.
The Model T mobilized a nation, not only the United States, but many other countries. With dealerships and factories setup throughout the world, the Model T was mass produced and easily available to many buyers. Often, the factories were established in other countries to get around an import tax, thus keeping the cost low. The innovative Model T served its purpose. It was inexpensive and reliable, many lasting even to this day.

When we drove into this area we figured that this area was crying out for a letterbox, so after carving one we hid it the next day. It seemed odd that the spot had no letterboxes, but after thinking about it there is a good possibility that someones mystery letterbox could be in the vicinity. We arent the brightest bulbs in the bunch when it comes to mystery boxes so if we encroached on one please forgive us. The clues are pretty simple, just drive as far northwest as you can in Oregon, park in area C, climb up to the observation platform, look for the small airplane on a pole off the east corner, and the letterbox is hidden under the nearest small evergreen near that pole. The letterbox is inside a large baggie inside a larger plastic container that has its top at ground level and is covered with tree duff and a flat rock. Hopefully this will keep the logbook dry and when you find it if there happens to be any water inside any of the containers please dry things out a bit.
When researching our clues please be aware that when previous searchers list ATTEMPTED on the clue sheets it may reflect more on their abilities as finders than indicate whether the box is viable or not. We do monitor our clues and boxes pretty well and appreciate the notes written to us by those that find or attempt our letterboxes.
Please contact placer directly or through the LBNA chat list regarding status rather than unofficial databases. Up to date status can only be ascertained from placer as other information services will not have current data. The placer does not appreciate listing information about this letterbox on unauthorized information services.

Evan Williams Bourbon Launches New Ad Campaign
Evan Williams Bourbon is announcing aggressive new advertising and promotional campaigns for 2013-2014. Evan Williams is the flagship bourbon brand of Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc., the nation's largest independently owned and operated distilled spirits producer and the world's second largest holder of aging bourbon.
Evan Williams will be increasing its presence in key marketing channels: print, broadcast and digital advertising; sponsorships; social media; and on and off-premise point of sale and display materials. All of these marketing initiatives will utilize a new positioning for Evan Williams—"Seriously Good Bourbon"—which, Heaven Hill says, underscores not only the product quality but also the high esteem with which Evan Williams consumers view their brand of choice, according to extensive consumer research.
For 2013-2014, a targeted campaign in print media such as Maxim, Playboy, Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated and ESPN The Magazine will be augmented by national cable television ads on ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPN Classic, The Outdoor Channel and Fox Sports Networks. The cable buy will feature both traditional 15 and 30 second advertisements with in-show and studio mentions and logo placements. Evan Williams will also be roughly doubling its budget for social media marketing, focusing mainly on the brand's popular Facebook presence.
Evan Williams will continue its long time premier sponsorship of Bassmaster, which includes the Elite Series, Opens and B.A.S.S. Nation including sponsorship of two top anglers, John Crews and Hank Cherry, as well as title sponsorship of The Evan Williams Bourbon Showdown on the St. Lawrence River in upstate New York and the Evan Williams Bourbon All-Star Championship in Muskegon, Michigan. The brand will also have a presence at all the other events on the Bassmaster Elite Series and at the consumer exposition shows that accompany all of the fishing tournaments, including next year's Bassmaster Classic in Birmingham, AL in February.
Evan Williams and Championship Bull Riding (CBR) have been working together for several years. Evan Williams is prominently featured as the sponsor of the bullfighters, the costumed personnel who protect the bull riders, outfitting them in Evan Williams logoed uniforms. Since the bullfighters are in the ring for every ride, they give the Evan Williams brand a constant and highly visible presence for both the event attendees and the millions who watch on FSN Network. The CBR sponsorship also includes full page advertising in The Short Round, which is CBR's quarterly print magazine, as well as CBR social media inclusions and branding throughout the host arenas.
Heaven Hill has created new advertising and point of sale materials for Evan Williams, all centered around the tag line "Seriously Good Bourbon". To help retailers build attention getting floor displays, Heaven Hill is offering case cards, signs, branded floor racks and mass displays, as well as shelf pieces and window clings. For on-premise accounts, a full arsenal of logoed bar top materials, wait staff items and table tents are available.

Dalton McGuinty Just Wasn't Popular Anymore: Pollster
By Paul Vieira
Political observers and pundits are still trying to make sense of longtime Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty's surprise announcement late Monday that he's stepping down. But a few theories are kicking around among the Ontario Liberal Party faithful.
One person—who's close to McGuinty government insiders– suggested the premier had always planned to step down as early as next year, after clinching a third term in last October's provincial election. But, this person said, Mr. McGuinty decided to move more quickly after his party lost a key by-election in Waterloo, Ontario, last month, failing to win the one seat he required to turn his minority mandate into a majority.
A report from the Canadian Press news agency, meanwhile, suggested Mr. McGuinty may be contemplating a run for the leadership of the once-mighty federal Liberal Party, a job that's now vacant. However, former federal Liberal Party officials Tuesday expressed skepticism about this option, noting Mr. McGuinty cited a desire to spend more time with family as a reason to leave now.
At the Monday night press conference about his departure, Mr. McGuinty also said he's leaving because he believes it's time for a new leader to reinvigorate the party. When reporters pressed him about whether he plans to seek the top job at the federal Liberal Party, he said has "no plans" to do so. Currently, only Justin Trudeau, a federal member of Parliament and son of former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, has thrown his hat in the ring.
Nik Nanos, head of polling firm Nanos Research in Ottawa, said his data suggest there's another reason to consider–Mr. McGuinty's popularity among voters has been waning sharply of late, after nine years in power and 16 years leading the Ontario Liberal Party.
"Dalton is a bit like a cat with nine lives politically," the pollster said. "But he's at the end of this path."
Nanos's last poll, conducted in August, had the provincial Liberals and Progressive Conservatives in a dead heat for overall voter support. But Nanos's leadership index–which measures voters' views of a leader's trust, competence and vision–indicated Mr. McGuinty has dropped from a reading of 87.4 last November to 57.5 in August, slightly ahead of his Tory rival, Tim Hudak.
Mr. McGuinty had been dogged recently by a scandal involving the cost of shutting down two gas plants before the last election, and has made enemies among public-sector unions regarding plans to freeze, or pare back, compensation for government workers.
"He's become the lightning rod for a lot of the more controversial issues that the Ontario government has had to handle," Mr. Nanos said. "And when particular negative views takes hold, it takes a lot of work to turn them around."

Reading Moby-Dick at 30,000 Feet
by Tony Hoagland
Lines 6-12 Summary
Get out the microscope, because we're going through this poem line-by-line.
Lines 6-8
At this stage of the journey
I would estimate the distance
between myself and my own feelings
- At this point in the flight, the distance our speaker feels between himself and his emotions is… (for dramatic conclusion, see the next line).
- From the way he says "at this stage," we get the feeling he's been flying for a while.
- And there's that word "distance," kind of like a confirmation that that's a big part of what our speaker's trying to talk about.
- Only now we know for sure that distance is not just a physical thing for our speaker. He's also talking about distance from his feelings, an emotional distance
- It's a small thing, but we notice that our speaker has used the word "journey" instead of, say, the more exact "flight." This word choice could suggest that our speaker wants the word to refer not just to this specific plane ride, but perhaps his entire life. We'll have to keep reading to see if that possibility holds water.
Lines 9-10
is roughly the same as the mileage
from Seattle to New York,
- Our speaker feels very distant from his own emotions—about as distant as Seattle is from New York, apparently. So, like 3,000 miles? That's pretty stinkin' far.
- If he's flying from Seattle to New York, and he's above Kansas, then he's right about in the middle of his flight.
- That sense of being caught between two places seems fitting for our speaker and for the way he's disconnected from not only the earth, but his own feelings as well.
- Plus, you know, he's trapped on an airplane.
Lines 11-12
so I can lean back into the upholstered interval
between Muzak and lunch,
- Our speaker leans back into his seat. He's just listened to some generic music (probably on the airplane radio) and has a little while to wait before lunch is served (this must have been back in the golden days of free food on planes).
- The way our speaker blends the image and feel of his chair with the interval of time is pretty awesome ("upholstered interval"). It's kind of like the way we really experience things—we don't see something, then separately feel something, then separately hear something… it all kind of squishes together.
- These lines also tap into that same feeling from lines 9-10, of being stuck in the middle between two places. But this time he's stuck between two events, or two moments in time.

What about economic justice?
(NNPA)—The election of President Barack Obama in 2008 seems to have uncorked a virulent racism among folks who are hatefully resentful of the fact that an African-American man now leads our nation. The steady drumbeat of negative commentary is so overwhelming that many African-Americans are cowed and cautioned into not even asserting our issues, so artfully poised to drown out dissent that some liberals have decided to hold their powder until after the election for fear of hurting our president.

Franklin Roosevelt: America Will Fight to Defend Freedom and Democracy
He promises to "maintain, defend and pass unimpaired... those democratic institutions to which we owe all of our happiness"
President who brought the country successfully through World War II, defeating the dictators who threatened to destroy democracy. By the fall of 1940, the Nazis and their Fascist allies controlled almost all of Europe. The only significant exception, Great Britain, appeared to be on the verge of invasion; many expected the British to surrender before the year was up.
Taken with the continued triumphs of militaristic Japan in the Far East, the security of the United States was threatened as never before. On October 29, Secretary of War Henry Stimson drew the first number in America's first peacetime military draft. In this charged atmosphere, the bitter 1940 presidential campaign was drawing to a conclusion.
FDR received a telegram from Anthony L. Frederick, President of Local 234 of the Clothing Salesmen's Union, saying that the members endorsed him for reelection and wanted him to remain in the White House to "preserve our democratic institutions and continue your good work."
Roosevelt responded to Frederick in this Typed Letter Signed on White House letterhead, Washington, D.C., November 1, 1940. "I am grateful for your recent telegram. In these times of stress and anxiety it is very reassuring to have the pledge of confidence and loyalty in which your friends and associates join. In expressing my heartfelt appreciation, may I in return pledge the faith of this Administration to maintain, defend and pass unimpaired to those who are to follow us, those democratic institutions to which we owe all of our happiness as a free people."
Roosevelt here exhibits the determination to fight for freedom that would serve the nation so well during four years of a war which was but one year away. This is an inspirational statement of FDR on the reasons that America would fight, and is a moving call to future Americans to do likewise. The envelope and a copy of Frederick's telegram to FDR are also present.

This painting is located at Mount La Verna near the Stigmata Chapel. (Photo by Jack Wintz, O.F.M.)
Reflections on the Stigmata
by Friar Jack Wintz, O.F.M.
The Greek word
means "a scar left by a hot iron: brand," according to
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary
(Eleventh Edition).
—the plural form of the same Greek word—can also mean "bodily marks resembling the wounds of the crucified Christ." This provides a basic background for understanding the mysterious phenomenon of the stigmata in Christian history.
I begin my reflections on the mystery of the stigmata by confessing that the first person I think of as having such bodily marks, apart from Jesus, is St. Francis of Assisi, who died in 1226. As the founder of the Franciscan Order, St. Francis is certainly a primary shaper of Franciscan spirituality. St. Francis therefore is a preeminent focal point in helping us contemplate the meaning of the wounds of Christ and of his own wounds and thus to come to a Franciscan understanding of suffering.
The crucified Christ appears to Francis
On two separate, dramatic occasions, Francis had a vision of Jesus, wounded in hands, feet and side, suffering on a cross. If we look carefully at the two visions we will see them as closely interrelated. Both visions are described in St. Bonaventure's
Life of St. Francis
. It's helpful to remember that Bonaventure, as a Franciscan theologian and spiritual writer, often described God as a God of overflowing goodness and love.
The first vision happened to Francis shortly after his conversion from a rather worldly life. After that experience, Bonaventure tells us: "One day, while Francis was praying in a secluded spot and became totally absorbed in God through his extreme fervor, Jesus Christ appeared to him fastened to the cross. Francis'
soul melted
at the sight, and the memory of Christ's passion was so impressed on the innermost recesses of his heart that from that hour, whenever Christ's crucifixion came to mind, he could scarcely contain his tears and sighs."
Bonaventure points out that from that time on Francis began "rendering humble service to lepers with human concern and devoted kindness….He visited their houses frequently, and generously distributed alms to them and with great compassion kissed their hands and their mouths."
Francis' vision on Mount La Verna
About two years before his death, St. Francis had a second vision of Christ fastened to the cross. Here is how St. Bonaventure sets the scene in his
Life of St. Francis
: "On a certain morning about the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross [September 14], while Francis was praying on the mountainside, he saw a Seraph with six fiery and shining wings descend from the height of heaven. And when in swift flight the Seraph had reached a spot in the air near the man of God, there appeared between the wings the figure of the a man crucified, with his hands and feet extended in the form of a cross and fastened to a cross. Two of the wings were lifted above his head, two were extended for flight and two covered his whole body.
"When Francis saw this, he was overwhelmed and his whole body was flooded with a mixture of joy and sorrow. He rejoiced because of gracious way Christ looked upon him under the appearance of the Seraph, but the fact that he was fastened to a cross
pierced his soul with a sword
of compassionate sorrow."
This is a good place to say a word about the Seraph. Seraphs are those angels closest to God, burning with love as they bow before the Most High God, shouting "Holy, holy, holy!" (see Isaiah 6:2-3.) Their fiery wings, as depicted here, suggest the flaming intensity of God's love that Christ communicated to Francis, which in turn, set Francis' heart afire. The word
is often used to describe Francis' passionate style of relating to God and is often applied to the whole Franciscan Order, which is sometimes called the Seraphic Order.
The meaning of the Stigmata
As suggested earlier, St. Francis is an important key for us in unlocking the meaning of Christ's Stigmata. September is a good month to contemplate the meaning of the Stigmata for any of us who consider ourselves followers of St. Francis. As many of us know, Franciscans celebrate the Feast of the Stigmata of St. Francis of Assisi each year on September 17, which is an estimated date of his receiving the wounds of Christ at Mount La Verna in 1224, two years before his death.
When St. Francis saw in his vision of the Crucified Christ the incredible outpouring of God's love upon him, he was inspired to respond with the same kind of overflowing love. We too contemplate that vision and try to respond in the same spirit.
Lord Jesus Christ, we praise you and adore you. Like Francis, we are amazed that you held nothing back from us in pouring yourself out for us so totally through your holy wounds on the cross. We ask you to breathe forth your Holy Spirit into us and set our hearts on fire, so that, with the Spirit's help, we might respond more fully to you. Amen.

Catechism Quiz: Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Dear Friar Jim:
Thank you for this much needed quiet and powerful reminder in my day to stay focused on the all the positive love God has for us, in what sometimes feels like a mixed-up world.
Dear Friar Jim:
Thank you for such words of encouragement and comfort. As a practicing Catholic and like many others, heaven is a mystery to us. I hear so many beliefs and it can be frightening. But your words and my belief in our Lord take away my fear.
Dear Readers:
I received a number of letters rejoicing at the thought of reunion with loved ones. As I said, heaven is all about loving relationships. The example of the Holy Family reminds us that we can all anticipate being with our own families again, totally healed and eternally happy.

A fixture on Hope Street for more than 20 years, this celebrated Italian eatery prides itself on fusing traditional preparations with innovative takes on the freshest local meats, produce, and seafood -- and let's not forget the stellar wine list:
• $20 for $40 to spend on food and drink at dinner
• Try starters like calamari fritti, Maryland crab cakes, and beautiful Caprese salad
• Tuscan-style grilled pizza is a great option, but entrées and pastas steal the show
"This spot has a casual upscale atmosphere decorated with local artwork and warm colors. The space is limited and the staff is friendly. All of this, however, is overshadowed by the creativity displayed in the pages of the menu. The food is exquisite." - Urbanspoon Reviewer
An Unassuming Locale Promising a Feast of Italian Fare
Pasta dishes take center stage at the Providence and Barrington locations; but if silky swirls of penne alla vodka or house-made fettuccine aren't enough, the veal saltimbocca, risotto with duck confit, and the pan-seared sea bass over lobster risotto ought to seal the deal.

FC Dallas v Portland: Game Grades
Stating the obvious: The problem here is Hyndman is, in effect, resetting his team with only 10 games remaining. Once a side that looked a lock for the playoffs, now with other Western Conference foes doing their resetting back in June, FC Dallas now looks more like a team that will be sitting out the cool-kids' party come November.
Saturday night Hyndman not only made the move to the 4-4-2, but did so by inserting his two new signings, Diaz and Erick, and moved his captain out wide on the left of midfield. And despite the large cash dump of BrekMoney on Hassli and Cooper, it was Fabian Castillo who was tasked with partnering with Blas at the two forward positions.
It's probably too simplistic to say that Dallas was in a 4-4-2. Because Jen-Weld field is very small (and the turf exacerbates the size by speeding up things x2) Dallas' shape was messy. Jackson, in particular, was all over the map. Supposedly playing right mid, the Brazilian could be found in tight, coming back deep and just about anywhere. Castillo as well was more likely to be seen with the ball in wide left spaces rather than up top. In fact, as much as Hyndman was looking to spin positive after the game, the truth is that FC Dallas hasn't looked that disconnected and unorganized in a long time. (That said, the Castillo to Blas to Castillo to Diaz combination for the goal was lovely. A single flower sprouting in a dirt field.)
All of this is to be expected when you're trotting out new players key to the new formation. And when both of those new players aren't exactly match fit, well, no one should expect much. Ya just don't want to be doing that in mid August, right?
With only ten games left, all is not totally lost. The difference in 1st and 15th in the race for the Supporter's Shield is only 10 points. MLS: where parity supplants level of play.
Fernandez – 6: Had to make five saves and the tight confines not only made things messy in front of him but added to difficulty in distributing and restarting out of the back.
Acosta – 6: It probably says more about the state of the team as a whole than it does Kellyn that he was voted Man of the Match. Certainly the teen continued to be the silver lining of some ever darkening clouds
John – 4: The broken hand has to have an effect. Getting out jumped on the opening Portland goal is not typical George John. A 100% John ruins Johnson in that scenario.
Hedges – 5: The mess of a midfield in front and the tight playing space made for a terribly tough night of defending.
Michel – 3: He touched the ball 60 times more than the next guy, Blas (162:97) and was very Jair-like in his care of it. Way too many turnovers and lost passes. And while his free kicks are almost the only thing going for the attack, his now predictable habit of 'switching off', as he did when Nagbe flew by him for the winning goal, is a terrible liability.
Jackson – 4: Just one of the parts that never really seemed with work well with any of the other parts.
Ferreira – 3: One of the great mysteries of the 2013 season is the stunning decline in DF10′s place in the team. We don't know what we don't know, but we see DF10′s level of effort has dipped, his impact on the attack has all but evaporated and now he's relegated to the left side of midfield where it's almost like Hyndman is trying to hide him.
Erick – 4: Playing as the lone holding-mid, and not being anywhere close to 100% game fit, the new guy probably played as well as you could ask. He added some bite in defending that's been missing but he also turned the ball over too much and looked woefully slow in recovery as Portland countered. Again, the guess is that he will be fine, but with only 10 games left it's probably too late to really expect much
Diaz – 5: Lots of flashes of positive play and creativity. A wonderful run and finish for the goal, but Mauro essentially disappeared from the game in the 2nd half. If my count is correct he had only eight total passes in the 2nd half. And ended up touching the ball less than Hedges. You can chalk that up to form of the team and/or his fitness level. Like Erick, it's hard to pass judgement on a guy who's walked into this mess and there probably is just not enough season left for him to fully make the positive impact he likely will in 2014.
Perez- 4: If there's an obvious indicator of the level of frustration building within the team, it can be seen with Blaz. A guy who's antics directly indicate his level of fritz was on full display Saturday night. Lots of time on the turf with too much rolling around on it. Only a single shot – an off target header – to show for it. Blas continues to do just far too much work in the middle third for Dallas to be dangerous in attack.
Nunez- 5: Had a quality shot miss just wide and put a bit of sting back in where Diaz had long lost his wind.
Watson – 5: His shot was on target and forced Ricketts to make a save.
Cooper – 4: Wasn't on long and the real story is the team played his preferred formation and he was benched for a someone asked to play out of position – in his spot. The Hassli and Cooper purchases haunt this season.

|Head Women's Lacrosse Coach
|Previous College:
|Union College '12
In July 2014 the Emerson Athletics proudly named Kathryn Egizi Head Coach of the Women's Lacrosse program after two successful years as an Assistant at fellow NEWMAC institution, Wellesley in addition to an elite playing career at Union College.
On the appointment of Egizi, Athletic Director Patrica Nicol stated, "We are pleased to welcome Kathryn to the Emerson family, she brings a keen understanding of the academic and athletic demands of the NEWMAC after her time with Wellesley which will prove an asset in recruiting. I'm confident she will build upon the foundation of success left by Coach Moore."
While an Assistant Coach at Wellesley, Egizi was a major component in nearly all aspects from on-field coaching to developing team strategy while serving as a major lynchpin in the recruitment process. In her time at Wellesley, the Blue saw four All-Conference Team selections as well as a Co-Rookie of the Year Award and Wellesley's first NEWMAC Presidents Cup in 2013-2014.
In her playing career, Egizi was a four-year letter winner and standout at Union College, which saw her selected all four years to the All-Liberty League with a First Team honor, two Second Team honors as well as an Honorable Mention as well as collecting a Second Team Regional All-American accolade. A four-year starter and captain for the Dutchwomen, Egizi patrolled the midfield for Union and was continually ranked in draw controls, caused turnovers and ground balls throughout her career prior to her graduation in 2012.
Egizi is also well known as an active member of the club lacrosse scene as a coach and director with Mass Elite.
On her appointment, Egizi stated, "I could not be happier about taking over this exciting and growing program. Coach Moore left me with a group of student-athletes eager to compete and advance in the NEWMAC after the program's inaugural season in the conference. The past two years I have been lucky enough to work under and learn from Julia McPhee at Wellesley College where I experienced the thrill and cutthroat competition of NEWMAC play. I am extremely appreciative to Pat Nicol and the Emerson Athletics Administration for giving me this opportunity and entrusting me with such an important role. I look forward to working with the student-athletes and athletic department to continue building this program towards its potential."
|Assistant Women's Lacrosse Coach
Annelies graduated from Amherst College with a degree in Biology and PreMed.
At Amherst she was a 4 year varsity lacrosse player and captain. She was selected for Academic All American, 2nd Team All Regional.
Some of her previous experience comes from working with the Pittsford Lacrosse Youth Program, where she worked with kids ranging from age 6 to 16.

Super bonita casa y una gran zona. Los propietarios son muy agradables y si necesitas algo rápido en el acto. Volveremos :)
Super schönes Haus und tolle Gegend.
Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und wenn man was braucht sofort vor Ort.
Wir kommen gerne wieder :)
Buen tamaño apartamento en un bloque de apartamentos. Cerca de supermercado, a 20 minutos a pie de la entrada de los lagos. Agradable estancia, anfitriona muy servicial. Buena relación calidad-precio.
Good sized apartment in a block of apartments. Close to supermarket, 20 minute walk to entrance of the lakes. Pleasant stay, very helpful hostess. Good value.
Muy bonito y moderno cuarto amueblado, como se ve en las fotos. Al llegar todo estaba muy limpio, todo funcionaba. En la demanda que hemos recibido las llaves inalámbricas, así como información sobre los buenos restaurantes. El balcón está en el lado sur, no puede haber buen desayuno ;) supermercados no están lejos de llegar a pie. De lo contrario, todo, como en la descripción ya se ha dicho. El apartamento tiene un poco más grande después también el mar.
Sehr schön und modern eingerichtetes Zimmer, wie auf den Fotos zu sehen. Bei Ankunft war alles sehr sauber, alles Funktionierte. Auf Nachfrage erhielten wir die W-Lan Keys und auch Infos zu guten Restaurants. Der Balkon ist auf der Südseite, dort lässt es sich gut frühstücken ;) Supermärkte sind nicht weit, auch zu Fuß zu erreichen. Ansonsten alles wie schon in der Beschreibung schon gesagt. Die etwas größere Wohnung hat dann auch noch Meerblick.
Una mal experiencia, el apartamento luce bien, pero las camas pésimas ,tuvimos que poner los colchones en el suelo y la única cama que parecía estar bien , estaba llena de chinches y huevos alrededor del colchón, los que durmieron allí terminaron picados , todos despiertos en la madrugada para reubicarnos, un caos.Nos pagaron una noche en un hotel pero la atención de Interhome fatal.
Limpio, cerca de la playa. Tuvimos una estancia estupenda!
Propre, près de la plage. Nous avons passé un bon séjour!
Excellent! Thank you again Wimdu.
Our host Trusted Partner, Interhome, were kind and very, very efficient, working from their local office nearby in Deauville. We felt comfortable before we even arrived in France. Wimdu as usual and our host each confirmed everything by email before we even set off; so put our minds at rest during those last crazy days of packing before our holiday.
And such a wonderful stylish apartment Couturier! So much beautiful character in the middle of Trouville sur Mer. It was wonderful to be staying in one of those gorgeous old Norman town houses rather than just seeing them from the outside. We really got the feel of the town and all its history just by looking out of our shuttered windows at the roof tops. And lots of space for us as a family.
Thank you Wimdu, Trusted Partner Interhome and of course the apartment Couturier. We'll definitely be back.
First of all, I was a little nervous because I had plenty of doubts and the agency didn't answer me, in that point very bad customer service I can't believe they take like one week to answer a customer email... Anyway one week before our arrival our host finally could contact me and I talked to her. Luckly Montse was a Spanish woman and we could understand each other very good. Despite we had problems in our arrival, she was very kind and understood everything, made everything very easy and was very flexible about the arriving time. She really cared about us, offering herself for any help we could need (finding supermakets, places to eat, and useful information) we are really grateful about that:)
About the house, 10-15 min walk from Piazza San Marco, good location, very close to important places and easy to find (difficult in Venice..) the house is exactly as described in the pictures, one big sofa-bed (very comfortable) one bedroom, the kitchen, bathroom and a small terrace. Despite was a little bit small apartment was very nice, comfortable and charming.
Against: it wasn't very cleaned, some dirty in the corners and under the sofa and furniture. I don't understand why we had to pay 20€ per person for cleaning taxes and other taxes when they left us the apartment not as cleaned as they could...
The oven didn't work (or we didn't know how to turn it on... Neither our host) and half of the stoves didn't work, and the ones who did was very low fire and we took ages to cook and to get the water to boil.
The other think I didn't like (but this isn't problem of the house) is that even is well located, it's pretty far from the train station, like 40 min walking, 1hour if you are taking luggage, so the best thing is to take the vaporetto and its 40 min more or less and 7,50€ each trip. It's not a really big deal but a think to take on count if money is a struggle for you. You'll do it if you are going to Treviso airport.
Anyway, we had a very nice time then, if I go back to Venice, I would repeat for sure! :)
In the apartment, it is calm at night in spite of it's central location and insufficient windows' sound proofing.
Also insufficient is room lighting, shutters of the kitchen cabinet are not arranged well, there is mold in the shower cabin.
But the Fountain Trevi district is an excellent place in Rome, and if you are not very captious you will enjoy this place to stay.
Very cosy place in a beautiful setting. Will come back for sure.
The apartment 'Palais de Justice' is pretty nice. Although it's not actually in the Palais the Justice as the name suggests, it's next to the actual Palais, in the middle of Vieux Nice. In the same street as the apartment you'll find bars, restaurants and local shops, excellent when you want to enjoy the old town of Nice. Excellent place to get to know the town, minutes walk from the beach, the park and other nice places. The boulangerie is just around the corner and you can smell the fresh baked bread in the morning. The apartment itself is comfortable, we stayed there with 4 persons. The fold-out sleeping couch makes actually a good bed an the bed is the bedroom is good as well. Minor points that are good to know: 5th floor, no elevator and some street noise (which is obvious if you want to stay in an authentic building in the narrow, busy streets of Nice)

College of Sciences Update – A new Era on the Horizon
Memo from the Provost
Date: June 25, 2013
To: University Leaders
From: Warwick A. Arden, Provost & Executive Vice Chancellor
Subject: College of Sciences Update – A New Era on the Horizon
This is my final update before the College of Sciences is established on Monday, July 1, 2013 – less than a week away. I have few things to share with you since my last update in May.
UNC BOG Approval: At its meeting on June 14, the UNC Board of Governors officially approved NC State's request to re-organize and establish the College of Sciences.
Leadership of the new Department of Biological Sciences: Dr. Chris Gould, currently PAMS associate dean for administration, will serve as interim department head of Biological Sciences. A national search for a permanent head is underway, led by Dr. Trudy Mackay, William Neal Reynolds Distinguished University Professor of Genetics. Dr. James Brown, currently an associate professor and director of undergraduate programs in the Department of Microbiology, will serve as interim associate department head.
College of Sciences Dean's Office: To allow Chris Gould to focus on the biological sciences, Dr. Katie Perry, senior vice provost emeritus, has agreed to join the College of Sciences Dean's Office as interim associate dean for administration. Dr. Vicki Martin, most recently assistant director of academic programs in CALS, will join the College leadership team as its inaugural assistant dean for academic affairs.
See Dean Solomon's May update for additional details on the College of Sciences leadership team. For information on the leadership of the new Department of Applied Ecology and the renamed Department of Plant and Microbial Sciences in CALS, see my last update.
Launch of the College of Sciences
On the morning of Monday, July 1, Dean Dan Solomon, along with other members of his leadership team, will greet the students and faculty participating in the College's first official classes. Doughnuts and coffee will be served in Sciences buildings across campus to celebrate the launch of the College. A celebratory lunch for Sciences faculty and staff is being organized and invitations will go out in the next few days. A larger event to include returning students and external constituents is being planned for later in the academic year.
Gratitude and Thanks
Finally, I must offer my deepest gratitude and thanks to the many individuals who helped to make the creation of the College of Sciences and the realignment of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences a reality in the short 14-month timespan since Chancellor Woodson announced these proposed changes in April 2012:
- Senior Vice Provost Duane Larick, administrative lead of the Steering Committee and chair of the Academic Programs, Personnel and Policy Implementation Team, who provided exceptional leadership in implementing this strategic initiative.
- Deans Dan Solomon and Rich Linton, who both have been outstanding throughout this process and led thoughtful strategic planning efforts to ensure tremendous futures for both colleges. I am also very appreciative of the support they have been given by their respective leadership teams.
- Steering Committee members, Deans Louis Martin-Vega, Mary Watzin, Blan Godfrey and Paul Lunn in addition to Senior Vice Provost Larick and Deans Solomon and Linton, who offered their counsel and insights to ensure that Sciences and CALS are as strong as they can be in the context of the greater University.
- Five Implementation Teams, their leaders, Vice Chancellor Terri Lomax (Space, Infrastructure and Shared Resources), Vice Chancellor and Dean Mike Mullen (Student Support and Outreach), Senior Vice Provost Duane Larick (Academic Programs, Personnel and Policy), Assistant Vice Provost Vicki Pennington (Budget and Finance) and Executive Director of Gift Planning Steve Watt (Advancement), and their nearly sixty members (some serving on more than one team), for their tireless work to consider and accomplish all the actions necessary to complete this process.
- CALS faculty, staff and students most directly impacted by these changes, who are making transitions to the new college or within CALS.
- CALS and PAMS communities, for their commitment to strengthening both colleges through their participation in the strategic planning process and their patience as decisions were made regarding the future structures of each college.
With these changes occurring on July 1, we reach a significant milestone as a University and begin a new era in the sciences, with our ultimate objective to position both Sciences and CALS for national and international prominence. I look forward to the continuing evolution of both colleges as we move closer to our goal.

This was my first ever bike. I picked it up the same week I done my CBT. It remained restricted throughout the whole time I owned it, mainly due to the fact it was restricted at the CDI. Had a few problems with it such as it needing the engine rebuild, but this is normal for 2 strokes at the mileage it was at. An all round fun bike and great for learning on.
