The PMA Store is open during regular museum hours.
Monday through Thursday, Saturdays, and Sundays: 10am - 5pm
Fridays: 10am - 9pm
Third Thursdays: 10am - 9pm
The Portland Museum of Art is a place where centuries of American and European art merge with cutting-edge contemporary exhibitions and innovative educational programs. Housed in a modern building on the coast of Maine and in the cultural heart of Portland, the PMA boasts a permanent collection that includes masters of Realism, Impressionism, and Surrealism such as Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Andrew Wyeth, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and many more. The PMA's commitment to Maine's vibrant creative community extends to the renovated Winslow Homer Studio in Prouts Neck, the PMA store, the PMA Café, and a wide range of special events.
The Portland Museum of Art will create outstanding exhibitions and educational programs to inspire our audiences. We embrace our rich past, dynamic present, and vibrant future to be a vital arts center for the city, region, and nation. Leveraging the strength of our collection, scholarship, and geographic location, we will excel in these distinct areas:
The ongoing exploration of the creative culture of the state of Maine within the
context of American art and culture.
The interpretation of European modernism through our collection and programs.
The presentation of progressive exhibitions beyond our collection that address local and global issues.
The integration of our unique architectural campus into the fabric of Portland and the state of Maine.
The Portland Museum of Art strives to engage our audiences in a dialogue about the relevance of art and culture to our lives. Aspiring to facilitate this conversation through exhibitions, programs, and partnerships, we dedicate ourselves to serving and supporting our local and national community. In order to provide a learning environment for our audiences, we commit ourselves to good governance, professional development, and fiscal responsibility.
It's been an exceptional summer here in Portland, Maine. The city has embraced its national esteem and affirmed itself as a place where you can start a business, found an organization, or lay the roots for a lifetime in Maine. It's an exciting time for the region, and the PMA is taking the lead in shaping our community for generations to come.
We've met the high expectations of Portland head on, bringing nationally renowned exhibitions to the museum with greater frequency and larger impact. Richard Estes' Realism was a blockbuster, and the buzz surrounding the art and our role in bringing this retrospective to Maine was palpable.
The Wall Street Journal hailed Richard Estes' Realism as, "confirm[ing] his place as one of our most accomplished painters." We wholeheartedly agree, and feel this exhibition helped firmly establish the PMA as the best regional museum in the country.
The PMA is excited to build on this momentum this fall. The greatest private collection of British artwork in America will open at the PMA on October 2. Treasures of British Art 1400-2000: The Berger Collection is an uncanny exhibition that presents impeccable art spanning six centuries—there is truly something for everyone. It's the kind of exhibition that will unite the diverse and sophisticated group of art enthusiasts that is the PMA membership, and we're thrilled to bring it to the PMA.
In February 2016, the PMA will usher in a new era for the museum, the city, and you—our members. As we prepare to unveil your museum, reimagined, you'll see more from the PMA than ever: more partnerships with local businesses and organizations, more innovative programming and events, more nationally lauded exhibitions, and more focus on our incredible permanent collection.
This fall, it's all happening at the PMA, and we look forward to sharing it with you.
Mark H. C. Bessire, Director
Members enable the PMA to provide spectacular programming, unique exhibitions, and remarkable events. They believe in the transformative power of the arts. They value community. If this sounds like you, we invite you to explore the many levels of membership available at the PMA and become a part of something special.
Originally founded as the Portland Society of Art, the Museum used a variety of exhibition spaces until 1908. That year Mrs. Margaret Jane Mussey Sweat bequeathed her three-story mansion, now known as the McLellan House, and sufficient funds to create a gallery in memory of her late husband, Lorenzo de Medici Sweat. Noted New England architect John Calvin Stevens designed the L. D. M. Sweat Memorial Galleries, which opened to the public in 1911.

"I'd assumed that Terminator Technology was robbing farmers of the right to save seed. It turned out that hybrids did that long ago, and that Terminator never happened.
"I'd assumed that no-one wanted GM. Actually what happened was that Bt cotton was pirated into India and roundup ready soya into Brazil because farmers were so eager to use them.
"I'd assumed that GM was dangerous. It turned out that it was safer and more precise than conventional breeding using mutagenesis for example; GM just moves a couple of genes, whereas conventional breeding mucks about with the entire genome in a trial and error way."
Lynas' embrace of peer-reviewed science is heartening for those of us hoping for a more logical and less emotional debate about agriculture on this side of the Atlantic.
"The GM debate is over," Lynas said. "It is finished. We no longer need to discuss whether or not it is safe…You are more likely to get hit by an asteroid than to get hurt by GM food."

Rowan-Cabarrus opens new one-stop shop for student needs
SALISBURY — Rowan-Cabarrus Community College has officially unveiled its Navigation Station, a high-tech one-stop shop for student resources.
In 2010, Rowan-Cabarrus began planning for a one-stop space on its North Campus in Salisbury that would support all of the primary "Getting Started" activities and information services for the entire campus.
The college opened the Navigation Station earlier this year, following two years of designing and planning and six months of renovations, technology enhancements, staff training and multiple moves.
"We've named it the Navigation Station because it's the central location where visitors, future students and current students can get what they need to navigate their way forward," said Dr. Carol S. Spalding, president of Rowan-Cabarrus, in a college press release.
The new space contains computers for students and future students to use in completing college applications, financial aid and scholarship applications, class registrations (continuing education or curriculum), tuition payments and fees online, college email access and testing appointments.
The Rowan-Cabarrus Community College Navigation Station is a welcome point where an individual can receive information, easily access student services and complete any necessary paperwork related to enrollment.
The area consists of two components: a walk-up front desk and a call center. Whether a person walks in or calls in for services, customer service representatives provide information and support, including step-by-step assistance with online applications and forms. If the Navigation Station staff member is unable to provide assistance, the person is directed to the appropriate department within the college to receive the help required.
The call center component launched in July 2012 with staff members trained to answer all types of questions related to Rowan-Cabarrus.
The in-person Navigation Station includes a kiosk check-in system which helps staff members deliver services in a systematic and timely fashion, provides information to the client about the wait time and documents the number of people served. Ultimately, this data will help the college serve students more efficiently and effectively, the press release said.
"Whether you need academic or career advising, help with financial aid, admissions support or personal counseling, you can get what you need at the new Navigation Station," said Gaye McConnell, vice president of student services and the student experience, in the press release.
Future enhancements include expansion of testing center services to meet community needs for certification in business and industry and computer-based testing for GED completion.
A sister South Campus Navigation Station is operational in Concord, but it is currently under construction design to provide comparable physical space and technology.

From what I understand, the states are essentially forcing insurance companies to pay out, hurricane coverage or no, because so many tried to weasel out of paying so much as a penny.
I expect a few companies to go broke paying out, and the larger ones to "compensate" by raising rates.

Hi all!
Thanks for all the wishes that you wrote for me, I'm feeling much better now.
Today I'm posting a very quick to make starter which is extremely tasty and was loved by my family. The original recipe is from a cookery show and I had managed to pen down the recipe. In the original recipe once the basic starter was made many more sauces and chips were added and I personally found it messy to be served especially when one believes that the starters are finger foods and should be less messy. I have improvised the preparation in my way and the end product, of which I was very sceptical, turned out really good, so I thought of sharing it with every one.
These were perfect starters and had all the wow factor in them. These are crispy, crunchy, with flavours exploding in the mouth and the best part, can be made in a matter of few minutes if you have the roasted tomato salsa ready. Fortunately I had mine so this starter was ready in a matter of few minutes and I served it some salad.
In case you are using a ready made salsa sauce just check sweetness of the salsa and adjust the spices accordingly as the Indian palate loves to have a bit of spicy food… In case you love it sweet then just let it be..
(Recipe adapted from a cookery show)
Ingredients (makes about 2 dozen)
3cups fresh bread crumbs
4tbsp roasted tomato salsa
1small onion chopped
1/4 quarters of each finely chopped (red, green and yellow capsicum)
1green chilli finely chopped
2tsp red chilli pwd
2tsp coriander pwd
3-4tsp corn starch
some chopped cilantro
salt to taste
Oil for deep frying
Chop the veggies finely as they will bind easily then in the mix and will not come out while frying.
Run slices of 8-10 bread slices in a mixer to get fresh bread crumbs.
Mix the veggies and bread crumbs and add the salsa gradually into it, this will ensure that the mix is moist enough to bind and not overly moist else it will break while frying.
Add the chopped cilantro.
Mix in spices, salt to taste and mix thoroughly.
Make small balls. Press each ball between the thumb and the next finger. Now press the sides. Shape these into cubes.
Roll the cubes in corn starch and deep fry on a medium flame till crisp from all sides. Handle the cubes delicately while turning.
Remove the cubes on an absorbent kitchen towel.
Serve with salad and sauce. I used the salsa only .

"I don't lie. I willfully participate in a campaign of misinformation." - Fox Mulder
its possible, the schedule does get a little easier for us and with Pau Gasol coming over December 15th we are bound to get better
Its heating up pretty good tho.
What i dont understand from Kupchak is why is he saying that he wants to see first how Nash and Gasol will play together when in reality that is not the issue. The issue is the inability of Gasol and Howard to co-exist. Gasol is not a PnR recipient. Howard is.
Gasol gets trade before Xmas be it with the Raps or not. Kupchak is a two-faced liar.
It's every man for himself time. Again.
Kupchak is average. He's no Isiah, but he's not even close to the Popovich / Buford dynamic duo.
He has the most desired market in the league for players, he has ridiculous TV money coming in that allows him to laugh in the face of the CBA, and he's had Kobe Bryant for the past 15 years.
LA is the Manchester City basketball, most of the other teams are stuck trying to be Arsenal.
"You dont know the Bruno Caboclo......"Bruno Caboclo
Basketball has clear winners every night --except at the draft, which is all homework, politics and chance.
Not that that changes your argument dramatically-- just saying.
the public talk is just price pushing to me. l.a. has one tradeable asset and a bunch of holes to fill. I think the klieza Jose and bargs deal is a good one for them. I don't know what minny offered but it's probably built around Williams.
our deal shores up their bench well. they have No bench scoring and a chucker like klieza would do wonders for them.
Pau Gasol and JV would be the best front court in the east if Pau is healthy.

Not surprisingly we've had gifts on the brain lately. And with last week's season finAle of Pretty Little Liars and this week's season premiere of Mad Men, we got to thinking: What would our favorite TV characters list on GiftSimple? Here's our list ranging from Bones baby shower to Liz Lemon's 40th Birthday. Let us know what you think in the comments!
1. Caroline Channing on 2 Broke Girls
She may have lost all of her money when her father went to prison, but Caroline still has expensive taste and isn't afraid to make a statement. Her most recent birthday was a bit of a letdown - she didn't get to see her father and Max's party may have been the worst in TV history. Next year has to be better. Caroline wears the same necklace in almost every episode and we think it's time for a new one. Perhaps the former Park Avenue princess would like Oscar de la Renta's Bead-embellished bib necklace ($1,220 net-a-porter.com). It even goes with her waitress uniform (sort-of).
2. Cast of the Jersey Shore
New (shore) house? GiftSimple is a great alternative to traditional housewarming gifts. Pool contributions from friends and family towards a larger purchase you actually want, like a leather sofa or a new dining room table. But in the case of the Jersey Shore cast, we suggest a housekeeper. From the rancid "smush room," to the clogged toilets and piles of trash, this seaside abode should be declared a hazmat zone.
3. Roger Sterling on Mad Men
While we might hope that Roger would register for a gym membership or a nicotine patch, it is unlikely (especially since the nicotine patch wasn't invented until 1985). Roger nearly died of a massive heart attack, but continues to drink and smoke every day. In fact, has he been in scene sans liquor and cigarettes? But since GiftSimple gives you the freedom to list whatever you want, Roger should at least smoke his Lucky Strikes in style with a Caran d'Ache Black Chinese Lacquer Lighter ($2,100 carandache.ch).
4. Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan on Bones
Bones is a brilliant anthropologist but this mama-to-be has some questionable social skills. When brainstorming baby gifts for her friends, an encyclopedia and microscope were at the top of her list. Seely Booth (Bones' baby daddy) quickly points out "Angela and Hodgins are having a baby, not a graduate student." For her own baby shower, we think Bones would appreciate a gift that's practical, beautiful and good for baby's spatial recognition and cognitive development: GiftsDefine handmade mobile ($165 etsy.com).
5. Rachel Berry on Glee
When this NYC-bound diva-in-training graduates McKinley High School, we know exactly what graduation gift she'll want: Broadway tickets! But with 40 shows currently on Broadway and an average ticket price of $80, Rachel might need some help paying for her entertainment (at least until she's standing on a Broadway stage herself). Rachel can list a Broadway Ticket Fund ($3,200) on GiftSimple and share it with her friends and family. Then her fellow New Directions members can contribute $10, $20, as much as they want, to her gift. Good luck in NYC Rachel!
6. Emily Thorne and Daniel Grayson on Revenge
This primetime soap opera is full of secrets, lies and stolen identities; but, somehow Emily and Daniel found the time to get engaged. Their Fire & Ice engagement party may have ended with a murder, but did you see that gift table? I don't think the happy couple needs a blender. We think Emily and Daniel would appreciate a Liberty Presidential Safe ($3,870 libertysafe.com) - perfect for hiding her Infinity Box. Daniel may seem innocent now, but I'm sure he'll have something to hide in the safe come season 2.
7. Aria Montgomery, Spencer Hastings, Hanna Marin and Emily Fields on Pretty Little Liars
GiftSimple can be used for any occasion: birthdays, graduations, holidays, showers… even to celebrate the reveal of the boot-buying, glove-wearing, psycho stalker calling herself "A". These girls definitely deserve a fresh start. First thing on the list - new phones! We think they'd want Apple's iPhone 4S ($199 apple.com). When the mystery continues this summer, the girls can ask Siri for some help.
8. Liz Lemon on 30 Rock
Liz was furious when no one remembered her 40th birthday on the Live Episode. To make it up to her, we suggest the cast and crew of The Girlie Show all chip in to buy her a fantastic present. What gift would Liz Lemon want? Coach's Madison Quilted Chevron Nylon Large Lindsay Satchel ($398 coach.com). Perfect for a woman who carries her life in her bag, and the nylon exterior will come in handy should Liz spill any coffee or hot chocolate on her new bag!

Flight booking and reservations
For the best-possible preparation, please let us know about the type of assistance you will need as soon as you book your flight, or no later than 48 hours before departure. If you leave it any later to tell us your requirements, or you don't tell us at all, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide the ideal support for you.
As soon as you book your flight you can help us to ensure that you receive the service you need both in the airport and on board the aircraft. To enable us to make you as comfortable as possible in the terminal as well as on board our aircraft, we require some information from you in advance. If you book your ticket by phone, please tell us about any special needs before your booking is completed. You should do the same if you book at a travel agency.
You can, of course, also book your flight online. After booking online, please ring us to let us know what extra support you will need (Tel: +49 (0) 800 - 838 4267 (toll free if calling from a German landline)) or you can submit your service request right here online. Please submit your request at least 48 hours before departure!
At the airport
You should always allow enough time to arrive at the airport and check in without having to rush. We recommend that you are at the airport at least 90 minutes before your departure time. This applies especially to foreign airports that you may be unfamiliar with. Before you fly out it is also a good idea to find out about the exact conditions at the airport you will be flying back from.
Please point out the booked service to the agent at the check-in counter, so that you can be given preferential attention and, if necessary, be escorted on board before the other passengers. Although it is not compulsory, we request that you tell us the nature of your medical problem (e.g. limited mobility or a pacemaker).
Check-in information
Airport information
At many airports there are now special services for passengers with reduced mobility and you will frequently find information about these on the airports' websites. In addition, you can usually request printed information material from most of the airport authorities.
Level-entry boarding is not available at many airports. Due to numerous arrivals and departures at airports gate assignments are not guaranteed and aircraft may be assigned a remote position on the tarmac.
Here you find information on services for passengers with reduced mobility at a number of German airports:
You can obtain information on all major and regional airports in Germany from the Association of German Commercial Airports (ADV).

In all cases where assistance is required we will take the passenger to and from the aircraft and offer assistance with catching connecting flights.
Services for wheelchair users
• Lufthansa will provide you with a wheelchair free of charge. Similarly, if you want to take your own foldable wheelchair with you, we will not charge you to transport it. Your wheelchair will be carried in the cargo hold.
• If you will require a wheelchair at your departure and/or destination airport, please make sure you inform us of this either at the time of or after booking. If you are taking your own wheelchair with you, please tell us its dimensions and weight as well as any specifics (foldable/non-foldable, sports wheelchair, etc.).
• If your wheelchair is battery powered, please find out what type of batteries it takes and let us know when you book your flight, as gel-cell, dry-cell and wet-cell batteries can stay in the wheelchair. However, the battery terminals must be covered with electrical insulating tape or plastic caps to prevent an accidental short circuit. Additionally, either you or your companion will need to secure and disconnect wet-cell batteries before boarding.
• Please notify us at least 48 hours before departure about essential mobility aIDs such as electric wheelchairs.
• Level-entry boarding is not available at many airports. Due to numerous arrivals and departures at airports gate assignments are not guaranteed and aircraft may be assigned a remote position on the tarmac.
Services for blind or visually impaired passengers
As a blind or visually impaired passenger you do not need to have an assessment of your fitness for air travel. Please see our advice on guide dogs. We offer blind or visually impaired passengers the following assistance:
• Separate, individual safety briefings
• Separate briefing in the event of delays and other important travel announcements
• Other assistance such as being escorted at the airport
Services for passengers who are deaf or hearing impaired
For the best-possible preparation, please let us know about the type of assistance you will need as soon as you book your flight or no later than 48 hours before departure.
Advice for passengers with learning disabilities
Passengers with learning disabilities should fly with a companion.
Services for mentally impaired passengers
As a rule Lufthansa carries passengers with a mental impairment. However, it is important to note the following points:
The routes to the boarding gates at international airports are often long and complicated and passengers may have difficulty finding their way around and communicating.
Security, Customs and police checkpoints may cause stress and anxiety.
It is absolutely imperative that the passenger is able to follow the crew's safety instructions during the flight, in case of turbulence.
Our recommendation:
In any event, flight tickets for passengers with a mental impairment should be booked at least 48 hours before departure in order to ensure the best possible support for them before and during the flight.
Please note:
The ability of a person with a mental impairment to cope should not be overestimated. With specific impairments which lead to confusion or disorientation (e.g. Alzheimer's disease), there is a risk that the passenger will not pay attention to the safety instructions issued by the flight attendants. It can also have unforeseen consequences if the passenger disembarks from their flight without supervision as they could get lost in the airport buildings or within the airport perimeter and become increasingly confused and anxious.
Should the passenger run such a risk, we strongly recommend that someone travels with them.
Travelling companions
Please note that a travelling companion is required in the following cases:
• if the passenger cannot help themselves in the event of an emergency evacuation
• if the passenger cannot communicate with flight attendants over safety instructions
• if the passenger cannot understand or follow the safety demonstration
Guide dogs and other assistance dogs
You have the option of taking a guide dog or other assistance dog with you free of charge. We recommend that you use a dog harness and muzzle. However, the number of animals allowed in the cabin is limited, so please let us know in good time if you wish to travel with a guide dog or assistance dog. Please also note that in some countries special regulations apply to the entry of animals and we recommend that you find out about the rules in advance.
If you have booked a flight to/from the USA, there is also the option of transporting an ESAN dog (emotional support animal) in the aircraft cabin free of charge. You will require confirmation from your doctor that you require an assistance dog. Please note that the dog's suitability for transport in the aircraft cabin may be checked.
On long-haul flights arrangements must be made regarding the dog's hygiene. Written confirmation is required that the animal can defecate and urinate on command so that other passengers are not disturbed in any way.
Please ensure:
The dog will fit in front of my seat (the footspace of my seat).
The dog will lie or sit on the floor in front of my seat secured by a leash.
We recommend to use a harness instead of a collar to secure the dog.
The dog will never sit on a passenger seat.
Please note that it is a prerequisite for the safe and undisrupted operation of a flight that your animal is trained to behave properly in public settings. In order to be allowed to travel with you in the cabin it is therefore mandatory that your animal is obedient and behaves properly (i.e. no barking, growling, jumping at people or other animals, and/or relieving itself in the gate area or cabin, or doing so in a way that will not create a health or sanitation issue on the flight). If your animal misbehaves you can be asked to put its muzzle on for the transport or it can be confined to the belly (if a kennel is available) or carriage can be denied.

When I profiled Kemba Walker, I mentioned the main reason I fell in love with Walker's game was his ability to hit big shots. Well, Brandon Knight just got done showing he has that knack as well.
Measurables: 6-foot-3, 185 pounds, freshman G from Kentucky
Key stats: 17.2 points, 4.2 assists per game while shooting 43 percent from the field and 38 percent from three
Projected: Lottery
How would he help the Pistons?
After an up and down regular season, Knight, should he choose to enter the draft, seems to have helped his draft stock as much as anyone. He was always considered a first round talent, but the way he's asserted himself on Kentucky's run to the Final Four has him looking like a legit lead guard/playmaker. He's probably not as advanced as former John Calipari products Derrick Rose and John Wall, but even if Knight could have an Eric Bledsoe-like impact as a rookie, the team that drafted him would be very happy.
The Pistons' need for a playmaker is an obvious one. There isn't a guy on the roster who can consistently create his own shot under any circumstance when things break down. Knight potentially has that ability, and the best part is most mocks have him available in the 7-10 range where Detroit is most likely to be drafting. Knight is quick off the dribble, he's big (and will get bigger as he fills out) and he might be a better perimeter shooter already than Rose/Wall were at his age.
How wouldn't he help the Pistons?
Knight's measurables are fantastic. He's in the mold of the new wave NBA PG both in size and athleticism, although he's not the explosive athlete that Rose or Wall or Russell Westbrook are. He's a shoot-first PG, but what his season didn't provide a clear answer to is if he's a shoot-first PG like Rose or Wall, who still sets up good opportunities for others even if he's the primary scoring option, or is he more Tyreke Evans, a phenomenal talent with scoring ability who doesn't have the court vision or awareness of the others. Knight has also had problems with turnovers this season at Kentucky.
What are others saying?
Knight is obviously a great talent who has the chance to succeed as either a point guard or combo guard depending on his development, but he'll need to develop a much more mature approach to the game to reach his full potential. Putting more focus on his shot selection, creating for others, and his defensive effort are all critical things he needs to address, and he still has plenty of time to do so. His potential as a starting point guard obviously greatly trumps his potential as a combo guard coming off the bench, so getting back to showing more of a pass-first mentality would likely help his draft stock considerably.
But Knight got better — a lot better — as the season progressed, much like two other former Calipari guards, Derrick Rose and Tyreke Evans. Knight is more comfortable running the offense (especially since Calipari has him using more ball screens) and has been Kentucky's steadiest player this season.
Very creative passer … Quick decision maker … A fierce competitor, really steps his level of play up in big situations … High motor guy. Plays with a high level of intensity and passion … Strong work ethic, constantly looking to improve both his body and game … His body has seen an impressive transformation from his sophomore to senior year of high school … Has an excellent jumpshot with range out to 3 point … Good shooter off the dribble … An excellent defender who uses his length and quickness to stay in front of his man … Drew 2 changes per game as a senior in high school … Very smart, engaging young man with a bright future

Organizers of the Jefferson 4-H Club are inviting local children and teenagers to get involved and learn by doing.
Through 4-H, boys and girls gain research-based knowledge and hands-on experience in their areas of interest.
Last year, the Jefferson group had 38 members. Marlene Hokanson, who has been involved with 4-H since her 17-year-old daughter was in fourth grade, said she anticipates that this year's group may be larger.
Projects for 2012-13 will involve robotics, cooking, arts and crafts, and raising and training animals, among other topics.
The group's October meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 15, in the Jefferson School cafeteria, 7500 W. Linne Road. Newcomers and returning members are welcome.
Open enrollment will continue until Nov. 19 for children and young adults 5 to 19 years old.
For information: Marlene Hokanson, 814-7032
• Members of clubs in Tracy or Mountain House are invited to share news about their groups. Send email to firstname.lastname@example.com, call 835-3030 or leave a note at the Tracy Press offices, 145 W. 10th St.

New Name
As of June 1, 2014, the Office of Judicial Affairs became the Office of Student Accountability & Restorative Practices (OSARP). After much conversation with campus partners, students, and staff the office feels this name more accurately captures our approach with students and highlights the resources we can provide them. The student conduct field nationally has been changing their language to set itself further from the legal process; we're excited to take a big step in that direction.
New Website
In an effort to advance JMU web technologies effectively and efficiently JMU has been implementing CASCADE, a web content management system (CMS). As part of the implementation process, all JMU websites will be going through a redesign phase. We've already launched the JMU Student Handbook and Civic Learning Programs websites in the new CASCADE system and had great success with them!
In the Fall 2014 semester, we'll be launching our main website with an entirely new navigation system and content to better serve the JMU community. After August 1, 2014 look for our content at:
New Location
To better serve the JMU Community, our office will be relocating to the new JMU Student Success Center. We're excited about our new space and joining other Student Affairs departments.
"The Student Success Center is:
- a place of support and community:
helping students make successful transitions into, through, and out of the university through a broad range of programs, services, and resources
- a place of collaborative learning:
helping students become more efficient, effective, and engaged learners who come together with peers, faculty, and staff for educational activities
- a place of inquiry and discovery:
encouraging students to reflect, apply, and engage in "thinking, doing, wondering, figuring out things, predicting and recognizing"
- a place of advising and consulting:
guiding students in making decisions and developing responsibility for their learning, behavior, physical and emotional health, finances, and career"
For more information regarding the new Student Success Center, reference the website at:
Our office in Frederikson Hall will be closed on June 17, 2014 and will reopen on June 20, 2014 in our new location on the second floor of the Student Success Center.

Embrace life on the go with tablets
Tablets let you take all of your important files with you wherever you go. Without having to be tethered to a PC or hindered by the bulk of a laptop, you can work anywhere, any time. Programs and apps designed for devices from Apple, Samsung and other common brands simulate a computer environment, so you'll always have what you need to get the job done. Sears stocks tablets with screen sizes up to 10" for maximum workspace and portability.
You'll be able to make the most out of your tablet once you master how to operate a touch screen. Both Android and Windows devices make use of touch-based navigation, with each operating system being designed to make tablet use an intuitive, responsive experience. Accessing programs and apps is easier if you use styluses. Equipped with a conductive tip and commonly shaped like pens, these tools are valuable additions to your tablet accessories. Using a stylus instead of your finger keeps smudges and spots from building up on the screen, so you can spend less time cleaning your tablet. You'll also be able to move faster from task to task, allowing for greater productivity and a smoother user experience. Kensington, Targus and other common brands offer styluses in a variety of colors to coordinate with your personal style.
The design of tablets is meant to make them easy to transport. Most models consist only of a screen and a tough plastic body, so you have to get used to inputting text using a digital keyboard. When you're just using your iPad to browse the Internet or play games, this is easy enough to master. However, tablet keyboards are good investments if you send a lot of e-mails or use your tablet as your primary device at your job. Invest in a tablet bundle from Kaser and you'll have a full keyboard at your disposal whenever you need it.
Like other portable devices, tablets run on battery power. Some things such as watching videos drain tablet batteries faster than others, so you'll want to stay on top of how much charge you have left depending on the type of work you'll be doing. You might be able to spend a few hours browsing the web with just a little bit of battery power, but if you're taking a long trip, make sure that everything is fully charged before you go. Should your device ever fail due to lack of power, Sears stocks replacement batteries as well as a variety of chargers for both tablets and ereaders.
With the ability to perform daily computing tasks wherever you are, you'll never miss another deadline. Tablets store your personal and business files in compact devices that you can carry to work, on vacation or even to the coffee shop. Take a look at what Sears has in stock and pick up a tablet that meets your personal needs.

Hi! I'm Gwyneth; call me Gwen or whatever you want to call me. I'm now 13 years old, I'm now at 7th grade, I live in Philippines and I want to learn different languages.
I'm a social awkward penguin (peng-gwen; hehehe, sorry.), shy-type, cray cray and a weirdo. I have this weird obsession towards food, fictional characters and books. I'm not an open person and open-minded; I do not openly tell my secrets even to my best friends; I'm just really uncomfortable with it. I hate horror movies, because I get scared easily. I swear if you'll see me after watching some horror movie, you will be laughing at me which is one of the reasons why I don't like watching horror movies. Anyways…
I love to read, watch and edit. My edits aren't pretty good but I'm trying my best in making it pretty, the same at making gifs. Besides Taylor, I practically love boy bands such as One Direction and Seconds Of Summer. My sunshines are Zayn Malik and Luke Hemmings, like how can you not.
My friends, close friends and best friends always tell me that I'm so nice and they always address me the nicest one of our group; just saying.
Once you get to know me.. I'm nice and friendly; but mostly awkward. I'm not judgemental, if you have a problem, specifically concerning me, just say it to me and maybe I can help you with it. If you want to be friends with me, come to my ask, don't be shy. :)
If you want to request me to make an icon or whatever, I'll make it ASAP. :)

Dear Hockey Fan Friends: The Rules
Playoffs are upon us, my Vancouver friends.
This means you will probably be tweeting a lot during hockey games. This is fine, but sometimes it gets to be a bit much as I do not care for hockey. In an effort to entertain myself, I will be tweeting you a single fact about basketball (my sport of choice) for every hockey tweet I see.
These are the rules to keep everything on the up and up (and please feel free to hold me to these):
1. I will not be hunting down hockey tweets from you to respond to and in the event that you have tweeted multiple hockey related tweets during a period of time in which I have not checked my feed, I will only send one response.
2. The tweets must reference hockey, a team, or something related for me to reply. I won't be wasting delicious basketball knowledge on "FUCK YEAAHHHS" and "Woooos"
3. Retweets of hockey related things do count, but will get you a retweet of a basketball related tweet.
4. You are welcome to send me a single hockey fact for any basketball related tweets I produce. These tweets will not prompt a response (though they may make me chuckle and feel informed).
5. If you tweet about basketball, I am honor-bound to send YOU a single hockey fact. However, your tweet must meet the following criteria:
- It must reference an NBA game that is currently being played (as I will likely only be responding to your NHL live-tweeting) to prove that you are in fact watching basketball.
- The tweet must do better than just present facts you can find on the nba.com play-by-plays
- The tweet must be sent out to all of your followers and not just @me
- If you include a screenshot of the game you are watching/tweeting about, I will send you a picture of me doing a hockey thing along with the hockey fact.
- If you live tweet two whole games of NBA basketball (at least 10 tweets per game), with appropriate hashtags, and one piece of photographic proof for each game, I will cheer the Canucks (or your team of choice) on for at least one full series and spend a day wearing a Canucks' (or your team of choice's) jersey (you must provide the jersey).
I don't want or expect you to tweet less about the Canucks, or hockey. I understand sports fandom and think it is awesome. I am simply aiming to entertain myself (and hopefully you) during a trying time for a non-hockey fan.
Let the games, metaphorically and literally, begin.

No one from the BMC Racing Team made the decisive split near the end of Wednesday's stage of the Vuelta a España that ended with a small group sprint at the end of the 189-kilometer race.
Crosswinds Split The Peloton
While two riders spent more than 160 kilometers on the front after breaking away at the start, the real action occurred about 30 kilometers from the finish after the day's final categorized climb. Strong winds which had threatened to split the peloton earlier in the day finally did their damage. BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Yvon Ledanois said after having a rider in nearly every breakaway the past two weeks, a move went up the road without one. "It was a bit of a bad day for the team because we didn't get anyone in that front group," he said. "It's not normal, but it's the race. I think we'll have a good reaction tomorrow and in the next days. The guys will recover." Bauke Mollema (Belkin Pro Cycling) won out of the 34-rider group that finished 91 seconds ahead of a chasing bunch that included four of the six BMC Racing Team riders remaining in the race. Vincenzo Nibali (Astana Pro Team) kept the overall lead.

Tuesday's Aside : Communication Needs
Anonymous writes:
Please help me with your insight on a situation.I can picture any of our artists reading this, thinking "Go on Buster...worm your way out of this one."
Since working with a gallery over the last 2 years, I am finding that communication is not meeting my needs or expectations. I'm not one to call frequently or take up someone's time needlessly. But when I do call my dealer, it often takes over a month to get a call returned. This is the case even when the agenda is to discuss details for a solo show. I've tried email instead of the telephone, and these also go unanswered.
Is this the norm in the industry? Do dealers typically blow off their artists in such fashion? And if its not the norm, how can I hit the 'restart' button? Or am I best off switching to another gallery?
The truth of the matter is that there is no norm I know of regarding frequency of communication between artists and their dealers. Those dealers who contact each of their artists daily (believe it or not, some claim to do so) or weekly seem to always be the ones interviewed on the matter, making those of us with less frequent touching-base policies feel like slackers. (B*astards!)
The issue, as you note, though, is meeting your needs. If you need information or confirmation or action taken, and your dealer is taking as long as month (really?) to get back to you, that does represent a problem to my mind. Of course, there are needs and then there are wants. If, for example, you'd like a non-urgent check-in studio visit but that's not convenient for a month or so, especially when the exhibition schedule is full and other artists need the dealer's time, then I'd say perhaps be a bit patient. Of course that should still be communicated to you.
Because each situation is different it's probably not that productive to discuss norms for expectations that might warrant finding another gallery. As I'm sure you know, most dealers have many artist-clients to attend to (some who want more attention than others) and collector-clients to attend to (some who want more attention than others) but the same number of hours in a week as everyone else, which is no excuse for blatant over-the-top avoidance, especially when you need to discuss the agenda for a show, but each dealer will have their own way of balancing everything on their plate. As in all matters in the partnership, finding a gallery that's a good match for you is the key (some artists would be annoyed to be called everyday, I'm sure, and others would be pleased)...finding a personality and approach that feels right for you.
I'm impressed by your approach, though, looking first for a way to hit the 'restart' button. I know of artists who regularly called their gallery 5 or more times a day (even long before a show) and led their dealers to hit the restart button as well, so it's not an issue that singles out either side in particular.
My advice is to first focus on your actual needs. Reflect on that before setting any ultimatums. But once you're sure you know what you need to feel the partnership is working for you, ask your dealer for a short meeting preferably over coffee or something similarly out of the gallery context. This generally gets anyone's full attention and prompts a bit of pre-meeting reflection on their part as well.
Then at this meeting explain your frustration calmly, professionally (you are seeking a professional response), and firmly. Frame the conversations in terms of your needs, but be honest with yourself about what those are in the context of the dealer's other obligations to other artists, collectors, etc. (i.e., if what you "need" would require the dealer to spend more time or money than could be shared relatively equally with other gallery artists, you probably do have the wrong gallery, because obviously that's not possible). Expect to learn something about the dealer's point of view on this and be willing to listen as well.
I'm going out of my way to emphasize this because I've heard artist-friends insist that constant communication was a "need" when I was fairly sure it was more a want. You don't sound like that's anywhere near the situation for you though, so I'd recommend using exactly the language you're using here. Tell your dealer you'd like to start afresh in how you both communicate, that you feel the partnership has gotten off on a bad foot, developed a few unproductive habits, or however you get the point across without putting the dealer entirely on the defensive.
Then, put them on the hook, subtlely. Ask which means of communication is best, what kind of turnaround you should expect on your questions/requests, and what you should do when that's not going to be good enough. (This obligates them to consider how they communicate and, while giving them latitude, will push them to solve the issue to your satisfaction. Each of the answers to those questions, if direct and honest, doubles as a future commitment.)
If they manage to deflect that approach, then make other recommendations: Can another gallery employee be assigned handling some of your minor needs? Can you schedule a weekly check-in leading up to a show and then perhaps a monthly check-in in between shows (or whatever seems necessary, keeping in mind, again, that by focusing on actual needs you'll make a stronger case)?
Don't insist on any of these ideas. The goal isn't to box your dealer in, but to demonstrate that you're trying to do what you can to feel less frustrated about the communications. Ask your dealer if he/she has any recommendations toward that end. Then assess whether that is good enough.
Good luck.

Made this last weekend and it was delicious- so summery and fresh. I made the crust gluten-free and it was quite crumbly when I was trying to role it out, so mine wasn't the prettiest, but it was still super tasty!
Glad to have a use for some summer berries! (For those of us in summer….) Easy as pie? Easier than pie?

MIKE SMITH, COCO BELLE, Winner: "I wasn't surprised at the easy lead, I was surprised how great she ran. I knew she was good, but she ran incredible today. She's just coming into herself right now and it's certainly a good time with Del Mar coming up. She loves that track, too. She's getting better and better and I'm really excited about her.
VICTOR ESPINOZA, INDIAN BLESSING, Fourth: "I knew I was in trouble passing the three-eighths pole. By the middle of the turn she was a little bit empty. She was slipping around and really couldn't handle the track all that well. It was her first time back, but I really think it was more a case of not handling the track. She's fine and after this race I think we'll be okay."
JOHN SADLER, COCO BELLE, Winner: "The reason you don't scratch is the history of those horses coming back from Dubai is not great. You don't scratch. Am I surprised to win? Sure. My filly is in good form again. She's had a nice win over the track and the way she ran today I might even run her in the A Gleam. We wanted to be up front, but we were surprised the other mare didn't run very well."
BOB BAFFERT, INDIAN BLESSING, Fourth: "She just wasn't getting over it like she usually can. It wasn't her. Usually she cruises up there pretty easy and just kicks on. Today at the top of the stretch I could tell he (Victor Espinoza) was out of horse. You never know how they're going to react after Dubai, that's why I wanted to run her here. Maybe she needs a little more time but we'll just regroup and send her back East where she loves to be. She's going to New York anyways — I just wanted to try her out here one time. She won't run here. I wanted to keep her here if I could, but it didn't work out. Some horses like different synthetics."
NOTE: The show pool was $522,293 with $484,538 bet on Indian Blessing, resulting in show payoffs of $37.60 on Coco Belle, $40.60 on Silver Swallow and $43.60 on She's Cheeky.

text: Evolving ReligionAndy Dayton, Associate Web Producer While updating the Web site for this week's program about Charles Darwin, I remembered the above image, which I had come across on Flickr a while ago. It's intended to show the evolutionary development of world religions; it seems that the author, an evolutionary biology professor, was unable to find a similar graphic anywhere and decided to draft his own. If you click through to the Flickr page, you'll see that the various symbols in the diagram are labeled to indicate which religion they refer to. You'll also see an interesting discussion in the comments section — ranging from the placement of the relatively young Bahá'í faith, to whether Yoga should be included as a religion, to what the point of this diagram might be in the first place. As one commenter notes: "the world of ideas, ideologies and religions is a bit more complex than a genealogical tree." So what is the point of attempting to represent the complexity of world religions such a simplified way? The author writes: I was thinking the above exercise might be a great way for young kids to learn about the diversity of religions, and how new religions are created all the time. Looking at the image now, it seems even more interesting when placed next to Darwin's sketch of the "tree of life" (seen at right). Some consider Darwin's theory of evolution, represented in his illustration, to be an assault on religion. But as we learn in this week's program, it's not quite that simple — at least it wasn't for Darwin. And here's an example of the same model being used to map out world religions, perhaps with the hope of increasing religious tolerance. What do you think, are religion and evolution mutually exclusive?
