Categories Comments Great for these types of students EVC is perfect for students who do not know what they want to major in, but are interested in continuing their educations.
Tips for prospective students Even though EVC is a community college, prospective students must not waste time. With the budget cuts, lots of people are now applying to community colleges like EVC.
Bang for the buck Despite the budget cuts that increase the tuition for continuing education, EVC is still less expensive than many other public and private universities. There is also financial aid available for eligible students.
Am enjoying being here I enjoy attending Evergreen Valley College (EVC) because of its atmosphere and environment. Teachers and fellow students are there to help me whenever I have questions.
Am learning a lot I am learning new subjects while reviewing old ones. I am able to understand better on some of the most difficult subjects, such as general physics and multivariable calculus.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus is completely safe. We have campus police always there when needed.
Clubs and Activities There's many clubs and activities as I have mention above. Regards, of race, religion everyone's welcome to join any of the clubs at Evergreen. Overall
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I just see wonderful and respectful people on campus trying very hard to get the best grades one can get and by doing so, we all help one another to that.
Bang for the buck Evergreen Valley is the best thing that has ever happen to me. I once thought I was too old to go back to school, but with all I was told you are never too old to finish out your dreams.
What to do for fun The Student Government Association is always putting something fun together as well all the other clubs on campus. We had Valentine's day celebration, Women's History Month, Black History Month, Halloween party etc. These types of events just let the students know that if you work, you also get to play hard too!
Food and Dining At Evergreen, they have some of the best food every served on a college campus. The prices are fair and to some inexpensive. You have an All-American cheeseburger to Vietnamese or Mexican and Chinese food, the variety is great!
Dorm Life There is no dorm.
Academic Rigor The courses at Evergreen will prepared for the next transition, transferring to a four-year university with all the tools needed to succeed in life of a college student.
Tips for prospective students I would say to any prospective student, please go to Evergreen Valley College to experience the community as one. At Evergreen Valley College, people come from all races, religions etc. and we are one big happy family. At Evergreen Valley everyone helps everyone succeed.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students This school is great for students who cannot afford the expensive tuition of a university or UC. Also great for those who do not know what they want to be yet and just want to get their GE done first.
Tips for prospective students Sign up for classes early!!! It's okay if you don't know what to major in you can be undeclared. Go talk to counselors if you need help there are a lot of people there to help you. Use the library! there are so many resources in there to help you including a tutoring center!
Bang for the buck I love how Evergreen's classes are so cheap. There were recently a lot of cuts at Evergreen but the price of classes didn't go up much. I also like how you can get your money back for a class if you didn't like it, That can only happen if you drop the class before a certain date though but it is good enough. Also if the books are too expensive for you, the library has a set of books so that you can borrow for a certain amount of time.
Am enjoying being here Even though Evergreen was not my first option I ended up liking this school. The school is not too crowded and the environment is great because you're right next to nature.
Am learning a lot i am learning a lot here because the teachers that i've gotten so far are those who challenges you to do your best. Most of them actually care about your grade and they will talk about it with you which is really rare in college.

Categories Comments Campus Safety we have real police on campus but you don't really see them much while walking around.they seem pretty alert and on things. i think were pretty safe.
Clubs and Activities pacific islander,art,anime,soccer,break dancing,honor, government,the list goes on and on
Great for these types of students who like to get to know the people on campus,do not want to have too much stress but enough to keep you motivated.
Bang for the buck yeah as long as you have a good counselor to help keep you on track it is very worth it
What to do for fun join a club, there are club rush days where you can see all the clubs available.there is an arcade at school and around the corner is a cool little shopping center, good for grabbing a quick lunch.upstairs above the cafeteria there is a room where you can watch movies many of the movies available are pretty new.
Food and Dining the food is pretty good, they have a wide variety of cultures and flavors to choose from.if you are a vegetarian there are lots of options to choose from as well.
Academic Rigor i am a good student so i don't really know much about how strict they are on academics.all i can say is do not drop out or withdraw from too many classes per semester and do your best and you should be fine.if not you might be put on academic probation and if a class is too hard don't stay in it get out or find a better teacher and make sure you know when the deadlines are.
Tips for prospective students if you are new then always remember to go to your waitlisted class on time and keep going because they might just let you in.the finacial aid office is always crowded at the beginning of the semester so either go before the semester starts or wait a week or two.the best counselor, well the one that i had and i recommend to everyone is caritha anderson, she really does all she can to insure success.
In three sentences evergreen is a really nice school with beautiful scenery,helpful teachers and great counselors who help you succeed .the campus is easy to navigate, even for those who may use wheelchairs or be disabled in some way.some of my favorite things about this school is that there is always something going on, the campus is not too crowded and the library supplies a lot of books and computer access so that students who do not have these items can still succeed.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Safety as walking around campus is great but when it comes to cars parked in the lots, not so safe. Make sure all of your belongings are either with you or out of plain sight because it never fails every semester someone's car is broken into or stolen.
Clubs and Activities There are some clubs offered which are displayed during club rush day but not many students participate I don't think. Activities at Evergreen are sort of scarce but our new school president is supposed to be taking care of that.
Great for these types of students Evergreen is great for students who would like a more calm and intimate college experience. Teachers are more than welcome to go one on one with you for questions and not many campus activities are offered.
Bang for the buck Community colleges are always the best way to go to get the best bang for your buck. You pay hundreds of dollars less here for the same classes you would be taking at a University.
What to do for fun Eastridge mall is about five minutes away from the school and there is also many parks and trails to hike/walk along. There is plenty of different cultural restaurants to pick from all within a ten mile radius.
Food and Dining Food in the cafeteria here is pretty good. A lot is made fresh daily and there is a abundance of choices with a different special everyday. You're able to eat in the cafeteria but there are many benches and tables all over campus where you can also enjoy your food.
Dorm Life Dorms are not available on this campus.
Academic Rigor You're in college for a reason, to challenge your mind and learn new things every day. Nobody said it was easy, but if you keep up with reading your books and doing assigned homework then classes should be a breeze.
Tips for prospective students Register for your classes as soon as your able to because they do fill up very fast. Don't listen to things you read on ratemyprofessor.com because most people go on there to post only negatives. Gain a good rapport with a counselor and continue seeing him/her throughout your time at Evergreen.
In three sentences Evergreen is a great community college to attend. They have well rounded professors and a beautiful clean campus. There is a lot of variety in the classes offered and many programs for every individual need.

Are We Headed for Another Dust Bowl?
The devastating drought of the 1930s forever changed American agriculture. Could those conditions return?
- By Sarah Zielinski
- Smithsonian.com, November 16, 2012, Subscribe
A West Texas thunderstorm on July 24 kicked up a dust cloud as the winds passed over ground parched and barren from a drought that began back in 2010. As the dust passed over Interstate 20 just before 8 p.m., drivers lost sight of the road before them and quickly slowed down, setting off a chain of collisions as 17 cars and trucks ran into one another. Two 18-wheelers sandwiched one car, killing its driver and passenger.
Nearly 60 percent of the United States, mostly in the center and west of the country, is currently experiencing moderate to exceptional drought conditions, according to the National Drought Monitor, and the drought is expected to persist into 2013 for many of those already parched states. The effects of these dry times have come in many forms: The costs of agricultural products, including beef and corn, and the food products derived from them have risen. Barges are having difficulty traversing the Mississippi River. Dry soil is causing the foundations of some homes to crack and leak. And dust storms, like the one in Texas, are echoing the 1930s Dust Bowl, the subject of a new documentary by Ken Burns that premieres on PBS this weekend.
Drought is a natural phenomenon, especially in the semiarid Great Plains. But the way that humans interact with their environment prior to and during a drought can profoundly affect not only how well they weather such an event but also aspects of the drought itself. The Dust Bowl provides the best—or perhaps, most horrific—example of the phenomenon, but the current drought may be foreshadowing an even worse future.
The 1930s drought, though longer, was not too unlike the one now. Scientists have traced the drought of the Dust Bowl years to abnormal sea surface temperatures. and likewise have blamed La Nina for the current drought. "Those are naturally occurring events," says Richard Seager, a climatologist at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University.
Hot weather and little rain isn't enough to create a Dust Bowl, though—humans helped. "Human-induced land degradation is likely to have not only contributed to the dust storms of the 1930s but also amplified the drought," Seager and his colleagues wrote in a 2009 article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "These together turned a modest…drought into one of the worst environmental disasters the U.S. has experienced."
That land degradation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries came from emigrants moving into the Great Plains as the American West opened up for settlement. Lured by promises of 160 acres of land and a seemingly good climate for growing things, people flocked to the semi-arid region. Using tractors and plows, they dug up 5.2 million acres of grassland between 1925 and the early 1930s.
Weather in the middle of the United States, then and now, is dominated by dry winds from the West but also marked by violent clashes caused by air moving in from the Arctic or the Gulf of Mexico. "It is an unreliable, intractable place, wildly oscillating around an almost meaningless mean," University of Kansas historian Donald Worster wrote in Dust Bowl: The Southern Plains in the 1930s.
Wetter than average in the first decades of the 20th century, the weather of the Great Plains misled settlers, and they pushed into places not particularly suitable for agriculture. And when the pendulum had swung from wet to dry in the early 1930s, the native grasses and vegetation that had held the soil in place during previous droughts were gone, replaced by wheat and other crops that quickly withered and died under the hot sun.

Burnt By The Sun
Heart Of Darkness
Music fans like to think of their genres of choice as purebred open markets. In self-contained worlds like underground metal, the audience's shared sensibilities and the comparative absence of money's corrupting influence should theoretically allow the artistic cream to rise to the top.
But in reality, a given band's success or failure rides on luck and logistics as much as musical merit. Countless creatively promising acts have been stymied by bad luck on tour, poor promotion, unstable lineups, and the like.
New Jersey's Burnt By the Sun, sad to say, are a perfect example. Way back in 2003, this band looked poised to sweep into metalcore's then-competitive elite ranks. Fusing death metal's rhythmic ballistics with political paranoia and angular riffs that sounded as though guitarist John Adubato somehow piped them in from 20 years in the future, BBTS brought intellect and intensity to a genre too often characterized by repetition and posturing.
A year later, the band dissolved—the tensions of their living and touring situations, it seemed, were too much for them. Drum virtuoso Dave Witte went on to tour with Municipal Waste, and vocalist Mike Olender shifted his focus to political activism.
The band reformed in 2005 under Adubato and bassist Ted Patterson's guidance, but spent the next two or three years floundering, unable to put together a solid lineup. Finally, Witte and Olender returned to the fold to release a farewell album five years after BBTS's initial demise.
And so Heart of Darkness stands largely as a testament to what this band could have been…which is frustrating, because this album kills. After all these years, Burnt by the Sun still sound ahead of their time. Like the dire wolf that stalks its cover, each of the album's ten songs is a sleek, seamless 21st-century killing machine: catchy, unburdened by convention, and dead-set on amputating your face.
Adubato, who has long been one of the metal world's most underrated riffsmiths, spends the disc's 34-minute runtime delivering an absolute clinic on clever but sickening guitarwork. He packs these songs with clanging, discordant heaviness without ever forgetting his gift for bizarre rubber-band melodies. The balance and pacing of songs like "There Will Be Blood," "Goliath" and the mind-crushing "F-Unit" prove his mastery.
But the linchpin of BBTS's sound is the Patterson/Witte rhythm section, and they too hit it out of the park here. It's hard not to resent Municipal Waste while listening to Heart of Darkness; Witte's talents are put to better use here than they are by MW's simplistic bashing. He and Patterson track the guitars perfectly through the band's tricky-but-subtle rhythmic twists, and know to refrain from full-on blasting except during the most predatory moments of rippers like "Beacon" and "The Great American Dream Machine." Most importantly, they have retained their ability to take a groove and drive it right the fuck through your chest, rendering even more restrained tracks like "Rust Future Primitive" claustrophobic and oppressive.
Most of the band's "hardcore" dimension still comes from vocalist Mike Olender—not so much from his blowtorch scream as from his sense of moral righteousness. He is not a flawless frontman—his lyrical eviscerations of American complacence tend towards the preachy, and his "menacing…talking…that builds! To! SCREAMING!!!" dynamic shifts usually flop. Overall, though, his brutal delivery and palpable conviction are irreplaceable boons for this band.
Burnt By the Sun's members have mentioned during interviews that they hoped to recapture the fine points of their first two full-lengths and their early EP's all at once on Heart of Darkness, and that's exactly what they've done here. The only quibble I can think of is with Eric Rachel's production, which is a tad bit dry, but otherwise this album is totally airtight. As the first decade of the millennium draws to a close and the metalcore wave rolls back, one can only wonder what direction the style might've taken under more influence from bands like Burnt by the Sun. This band will be much missed.

What is a Bull Bar?
Recently it has become a trend among car makers to design cars with a bull bar. There are many benefits of installing this gadget on the vehicle, but before we get into those details lets understand what they really are.It is actually a device that is fitted to the front (and/or rear) of the vehicle in order to protect it from damage. At the same time, it also protects the passengers inside the vehicle in case of an accident. There are other names for this device as well, such as "roo bar" and "nudge bar". In Australia, this device is particularly important because chances of collision with animals (e.g. bulls) are high.
Bull Bars Come In Variety
There are different shapes and sizes of bull bars. There are black bull bars that make trucks and vehicles look robust and damage resistant. Moreover, there are bull bars with lights, bull bar mounting brackets, simple bull bar brackets and there are bull bar bumpers as well.
This device comes in different materials as well. Depending on your choice of what you want you can go for the welded steel, polyethylene, molded polycarbonate and aluminum tubing. The reason why most people are inclined to using options other than metal is because those made from pure metal are lethal.
In case of collisions, the death of the victim is certain. Currently in Europe, there are estimates of about 2000 deaths and more than 18,000 fatal injuries in accidents involving vehicles with bull bars. This includes accidents in which the collision was from the front or the rear. People use this device to protect lights as well. Bull bar lights in particular are very famous among people who drive land rovers, SUVs (e.g. GMC YuKon or GMC Envoy) and four wheel trucks (e.g. Dodge ram and Dump trucks).
Additionally, there are many brands of this important device e.g. Westin Bull Bar. Buying branded ultimate Westin bull bars is highly recommended. If you want to install them yourself, you can get the bull bar installation instructions manual from the dealers or the company. Installing them is easy and can be done within no time at all.
Basically, there are two forms of this important device. Firstly, the nudge bull bar, which is meant for all sizes of vehicles, especially SUVs. Secondly, the accessories bull bar, which is meant only to beautify the car. It improves the aesthetics and makes vehicles look classy and stylish.
Why Get a Bull Bar?
As mentioned earlier, there are a number of reasons to use these devices. They can be used to:
- Protect the lights of the vehicle
- Keep passengers safe by reducing impact
- Beautify the looks of the truck
- Make the vehicle damage proof
Those who choose to use the alloy side steps along with bull bars hardly get to enjoy the true potential of their vehicle. It's only when the plastic material is replaced with a steel or tougher and sturdy material that the car becomes fun to drive. The vehicle will look more attractive and modern with slight modification.
When this device is installed in front of the vehicle, it feels a lot better in terms of security. You know that the chances of damage to your car and the person in front have reduced. Besides, while driving, the bull bar tends to make the driver more conscious of people on the road. Moreover in case there is collision, you know that the radiator and fan is protected.
When they are installed at the rear of the vehicle they more or less have the same function. They protect the vehicle from damage behind it, particularly the lights. In places where the vehicle is exposed to animals, there are greater chances of losing your lights. Bull bar lights are durable and last for many years. Investing in this accessory is definitely worth it.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the device is that it is durable. It doesn't rust away, or get worn out too soon. You can enjoy having bull bars on your vehicle for many years on end. Painting them black is a good idea to keep them looking great. In fact, this adds to the beauty of your truck or four wheel drive. It's your choice; you can paint the bull bar with other colors as well.
Bull bar steps are also a must have. If your vehicle is too high, passengers will find it easier to get in and out of the vehicle with ease. Experts recommend the installation of alloy sidesteps in trucks and busses that are used for heavy duty jobs. Likewise, the bull bar bumper is also a recommended investment worth making.
Car Makers Recommend It
Melbourne's four wheel drives are increasing in numbers, and so are sprouting bull bars. Recently there has been a rise in the use of this device in a wide range of vehicles.
Adventurers in countries where there is wild life (like Australia) must have these accessories on their vehicle. You never know when you hit an animal. The advantage of having the best bull bar installed is that even after collision the animal might survive. It kind of cushions the impact, reducing the chances of fatality of the injured party and reduces (if not prevents) injury of people inside the vehicle.
In village setups like most third world countries, urban people often fall victim to road accidents. Installing bull bars will reduce risk of injuring people out there. This is why NGOs using trucks have also started installing bull bars to prevent unexpected accidents.
Buying Your Bull Bar
Before you buy your own device, it is recommended that you read through bull bar reviews. This will give you an idea of which brand to buy. Remember, the best deal is one which has the best price and best quality.
Although there are several brands out there, the Westin bull bar has become more famous than others. This is because they have proved to be better than other brands in terms of quality. The Toyota Tacoma bull bar, Chevrolet CK 1500 bull bar, and Chevrolet K5 Blazer bull bar are the top selling bull bars at AutomaxStyling. People who buy bull bars most likely will also buy nerf bars. This is not surprising as both accessories have a beefy, chrome look and serve aestheic as well as practical purposes. We've seen a good combination of Toyota Tundra Oval Nerf Bars being sold with Toyota Tundra Bull Bars, Chevrolet Avalanche Oval Nerf Bars bought wth Chevrolet Avalanche bull bar and so on.

Affordable Care premiums lower than expected
ABOVE PHOTO: President Barack Obama stands with people who support the Affordable Care Act, his signature health care law, as he speaks in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington, Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2013. Congress plunged the nation into a partial government shutdown Tuesday as a long-running dispute over President Barack Obama's health care law forced about 800,000 federal workers off the job, suspending all but essential services. At second right is Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

By Frederick H. Lowe
Special to the Trice Edney News Wire
Health Insurance Marketplace premiums under the Affordable Care Act will be lower than what government officials expected when open enrollment begins October 1, Kathleen Sebelius, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, has announced.
The Health Insurance Marketplace, formerly called Affordable Insurance Exchanges, would provide health insurance coverage to 3.8 million African-Americans who otherwise would be uninsured, the Rand Corp., a Santa Monica, Calif.-based research firm, reported in an April 2012 study titled, "The Affordable Care Act and African Americans."
The study found that 20.8 percent of Blacks lacked health insurance, compared to 16.3 percent of all Americans.
Lower premiums
"Premiums nationwide also will be around 16 percent lower than originally expected - about 95 percent of eligible uninsured live in states with lower than expected premiums - before taking into account financial assistance," Sebelius said. "In the past, consumers were too often denied or priced-out of quality health insurance options, but thanks to the Affordable Care Act, consumers will be able to choose from a number of new coverage options at a price that is affordable."
Pre-existing conditions cannot be denied health coverage
Under the Affordable Care Act, consumers will be able to choose from an average of 53 health plans in the Marketplace.
The vast majority of consumers will have at least two different health insurance companies---usually more, Sebelius said.
The Marketplace, which will open in less than a week, will allow millions of Americans to shop and purchase health-insurance coverage in one place. Consumers can compare health plans side-by-side based on pricing, quality and benefits. No one can be denied health-insurance coverage because of a pre-existing condition, like diabetes or prostate cancer.
Seven million expected to sign up
The Congressional Budget Office estimates that 7 million people will sign up for insurance plans through the Health Insurance Marketplace.
In 36 states, the Department of Health and Human Services will either fully or partly run the Marketplace. Consumers will have an average of 53 plan choices.
Plans in the Marketplace are gold, silver or bronze
For example, a 27-year old who makes $25,000 a year living in Dallas can pay$74 a month for the lowest cost bronze plan and $136 month for the lowest-cost silver plan, taking into account tax credits.
For a family of four with an income of $50,000 annually living in Dallas, the lowest bronze plan would cost only $26 per month, taking into account tax credits.Consumers also will be able to learn if they qualify for insurance-premium assistance.
What the insurance exchanges cover
Marketplace-health insurance covers ambulatory patient services, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity care, newborn care, mental health, prescription drugs, rehabilitative services, laboratory services, preventive wellness services and pediatric services.Open enrollment for the Health Insurance Marketplace begins next month and it will continue through March 2014. The Affordable Care Act, which is a federal law, goes into effect Jan. 1, 2014.

Wow, you're such a dedicated Annie fan!!! I don't watch ATV series, so I have not seen her elsewhere besides TVB but still, I would watch a bad series with her, because as long as she's there, no matter how bad it is, it wouldn't be the worst. Unless stupid TVB give her something REALLY far away from prominent.
You see, I am an optimistic person (sometimes) but why would you care, let's talk about Annie instead!

On June 5, 2011, the Law School's 260 J.D. candidates and 19 LL.M. candidates convened at Carnesecca Arena for the 141st Commencement Exercises. Associate Academic Dean and Professor of Law Margaret Valentine Turano '77 served as Director of Proceedings for the ceremony that included some 4000 family, friends, faculty, administrators, staff and alumni in the Law School community.
Photo GalleryWelcoming the students and their guests, Dean Michael A. Simons expressed a "teacher's pride" in the accomplishments of a class that has come very far in its three years at St. John's. Dean Simons took special note of the many ways in which the graduates had used their time and energy in law school to serve the poor and the underrepresented, embodying St. John's Vincentian commitment to justice. Remembering three deceased members of the St. John's family - generous benefactor Maxine Belson, adjunct professor Judge Robert Ross, and the graduates' classmate, Tyler Ramaker - Dean Simons said that their passing "reminds us how precious life is and how important it is to savor our time with each other and to savor days like today." He also shared that the graduates are on a professional journey filled with challenges and opportunities. Their path to the profession began at Law School orientation and continued to unfold during their time at St. John's. "There are many different paths to a rewarding career and life," Dean Simons said. "But, you don't discover your path, you make it in an ongoing process that will continue throughout your career." The ceremony then turned to one particularly well-traveled path through the law. Citing a half-century of dedicated service to the Law School and the legal profession, Dean Turano conferred an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree upon Robert E. Parella, St. John's George F. Keenan Professor of Law, stating: "Professor Parella has embodied the highest ideals of St. John's University's School of Law. His unwavering commitment to his students and dedication to the study of the law are at the heart of everything he does. His legacy is one of academic excellence, compassion and precise legal acumen." Reflecting on the honor, Professor Parella said: "This honorary degree is my most special recognition. I am very proud to now call myself a St. John's alumnus." After St. John's University President Rev. Donald J. Harrington, C.M. presented him with an honorary Doctor of Laws degree, the Honorable Guido Calabresi, a Senior Circuit Judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and an esteemed, jurist, educator and scholar, delivered the commencement address. His remarks to the class centered on two stories of faith from his personal-professional path - faith in the law and faith in human beings. The first story came from his time as law clerk to Associate Justice Hugo L. Black at the United States Supreme Court. Researching a double jeopardy case, Judge Calabresi found a reference to a statute from Tudor England evidencing that someone had been tried twice for the same offense. Justice Black told him to get the original source. With some doubt that he could accomplish the task, Judge Calabresi asked the Supreme Court librarian for assistance. To his surprise, the library's holdings included the original book of statutes used to teach Mary Tudor the laws of the land. When Judge Calabresi inspected the volume, he found the statute he was looking for, identified as "An Act Dealing with the Jurisdiction of the Court of the Star Chamber." The well-documented abuses of the Star Chamber were motivating forces behind the protections afforded by the framers of our Constitution. "What Justice Black had was a deep, abiding faith in the law," Judge Calabresi shared. "He knew that, if you looked hard enough, you would find something that allowed you to do justice, to do what was right." Judge Calabresi's second story was about his great-grandmother, who lived in a villa outside Cologne, Italy at the time of the Second World War. At 80 years old, even with the Nazi threat, she refused to renounce her Jewish heritage. As the Germans approached, she planned to go into hiding. But, when American bombs destroyed a nearby village, she decided to stay and open her home to shelter and care for the displaced villagers. When the Germans arrived at the villa to take her away, the villagers told the commander "over our dead bodies." With this protest, she was spared. "My great-grandmother had faith in human beings," Judge Calabresi said. "She believed if you do the right thing, everything will be all right." Judge Calabresi closed his remarks with this advice for the new graduates: "Find something in the law that you love. Find someone to spend your life with and combine those with faith in the law and in human beings."
Cathy Ng '11 found these words very inspiring. "Everyone at St. John's - faculty, administrators and fellow students -motivated me to do my best as a law student. This community support showed me that I can and should have faith in my fellow human beings as I forge my career in the law." Added Gina Scarpa '11: "The entire ceremony was wonderful and Judge Calabresi's message was very timely. We are graduating in uncertain times and his thoughts on having faith in the law and in others offer great perspective and hope."

For immediate release (6/22/12)
Contact: Garnet Bass, 919-250-4314
RALEIGH, N.C. -- The N.C. Rural Economic Development Center has awarded 25 New Generation Initiative grants to train rural young people for skilled jobs in high-demand fields and engage others in leadership and community development.
The center launched the four-part New Generation Initiative last fall in recognition that communities will flourish only to the extent that they fully involve youth and young adults in economic and civic life. Center research has documented that over the past two decades, 54 rural counties lost young adult population and 22 lost population under 18.
Awards Wednesday are the first under the New Generation Careers and New Generation Leaders programs. The New Generation Ventures program, launched earlier this year, already has more than 70 young adults working toward starting businesses in rural communities. This fall a fourth program will begin offering workshops in how communities can improve youth engagement efforts.
New Generation Careers
The New Generation Careers program assists the development of locally based strategies to train and place rural young people, ages 18 to 30, in high-demand career fields. The 14 projects that received grants are expected to result in job placements for 519 young adults. All build on collaborations among workforce development agencies, the business community and nonprofits. Many target disadvantaged young people, including those who have dropped out of school or have other barriers to employment.
Brunswick Community College,$100,000 to train more than 50 young adults and place 40 in jobs in Brunswick County. This project will establish a collaboration between Brunswick Community College and Brunswick Housing Opportunities Inc. to focus on career development in such fields as health care, industrial and vehicle maintenance, and green housing construction.

Halifax Community College, $100,000 to train 52 young people and place 44 in jobs in Halifax and Northampton counties. A training program will prepare participants to enroll in nursing, maintenance or computer courses.
Haywood County Schools, $100,000 to serve at least 75 young adults and place 40 in jobs. The grant will expand an existing program through which participants earn high school diplomas, explore job possibilities and design career paths.

The participants will receive on-the-job bakery training, culinary classroom instruction, life-skills coaching and job-placement assistance in Henderson County. The project is one of the first pre-apprenticeship programs under an initiative of the N.C. Department of Labor.
Laurinburg/Scotland County Area Chamber of Commerce, $75,000 to train 50 young adults and place 35 in jobs. The Scotland County project will blend on-the-job experience with other training to assist unemployed and underemployed workers.
Lee County Industries, $75,000 to train 60 young adults and place 30 in jobs. The project will target those with disabilities or other barriers to employment in Chatham and Lee counties. It will provide manufacturing skills training, work readiness preparation, work experience and job placement.

The project will target young people in Madison and Transylvania counties who have dropped out of school, lack appropriate workplace and life skills and have a history of court involvement. Participants will receive career development and leadership training, work experience and counseling.
Stanly Community College, $100,000 to train 50 young adults and place 40 in jobs. The project will provide young adults in Anson, Montgomery, Stanly and Union counties with instruction in how to install and repair power lines.
Yadkin County, working with the Town of Elkin, $100,000 to train 120 young adults and place 60 in jobs. Working with unemployed and underemployed young people in Surry, Wilkes and Yadkin counties, the initiative will address employability and job turnover issues, implement workforce recruitment strategies and provide on-the-job work experience.
New Generation Leaders
This program encourages young people, ages 16 to 30, to become more active in civic and economic affairs, in part by tackling community improvement projects of their own creation. In the 11 selected communities, teams of young people will work with established leaders to design and implement a project while also immersing themselves in the community's history, culture and economy.
Grants require collaboration by local organizations. Each grant is worth $20,000. Lead organizations and the areas their projects will serve are:
Brunswick Housing Opportunities, Brunswick County; Caswell County Partnership for Children, Caswell County; Communities in Schools, Cleveland County; Duplin County Center for Leadership Development, Duplin County; Gates County Cooperative Extension, Gates County; Graham County Cooperative Extension, Graham County; Roanoke Valley Chamber of Commerce, Halifax and Northampton counties; Rural School and Community Trust, Warren County; Town of Mars Hill, Madison County; United Way, Onslow County; Wilkes County Schools, Wilkes County.
The board awarded 22 grants worth $3.96 million for projects that directly lead to job creation. Economic infrastructure grants enable new business locations or expansions through water and sewer improvements, broadband expansion, natural gas line extensions, construction of access roads and other infrastructure improvements. Building reuse grants prepare vacant buildings for use by job-generating businesses and support the expansion and renovation of occupied buildings if that work leads to new, permanent jobs in the manufacturing sector. The Rural Hope Initiative spurs job creation in the health care sector while improving the availability and quality of health care services in rural communities.
