As the landscape begins to come to life here in the mountains of Appalachia, we are reminded of how blessed we are to be on the banks of Caney Creek. For us, spring signals the end of another semester. As another academic year comes to a close, we are taking time to reflect on the year gone by. Just as we watch the mountains around us change each spring, we continue to witness the transformation of an entire region. Nearly a century ago, our founders, Alice Lloyd and June Buchanan, began the daunting task of bringing education to the youth of Appalachia. Through hard work, compassion, and sacrifice, they sculpted Caney Creek Community Center into what is known and loved by so many today as Alice Lloyd College. Due to their “ethical leadership and commitment to making a difference in the lives of fellow citizens,” Alice Lloyd and June Buchanan were recently honored at the Women of Distinction Luncheon in Lexington, Kentucky. You can find more information regarding the luncheon on the adjoining page. In this issue, you will find proof of the legacy Mrs. Lloyd and Ms. Buchanan have left behind. They instilled in students the idea of leadership and service. Anthony Yonts, an alumnus of both The June Buchanan School and Alice Lloyd College, credits ALC for strengthening his character and work ethic. You can read more about Dr. Yonts on page 34. As you peruse the pages of the 2012 Annual Report, you will realize that numerous people join in your efforts to carry on the mission of Alice Lloyd and June Buchanan. Thanks to our supporters, we have been able to continue that mission for nearly a century. To this day, we are able to guarantee that students from our service area will not pay a dime out-of-pocket for their tuition. In recognition of this, Alice Lloyd College is consistently ranked as the #1 institution in the nation for graduating students with the least amount of debt (read more on page 2). Through my many years of serving this institution, I have witnessed the expansion of the educational experience made available at Alice Lloyd College. I am happy to say that we are still growing and with your support, we can continue to improve the Appalachian region through education. May God richly bless you and yours, Joe A.

All proceeds of the event went to benefit the Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road. The luncheon was designed to be an integral part of the Girl Scouts’ celebration of the Year of the Girl and 100 years of Girl Scouting. Described as a once-in-a-lifetime event, the organization designated a special day on which they would recognize one hundred Kentucky women who have made a significant contribution to the lives of Kentuckians in northern, central, and eastern Kentucky. “Alice Lloyd and June Buchanan were selected for their professional and personal accomplishments that make them positive role models for girls,” said Susan Douglas, a member of the Girl Scouts of Kentucky’s Wilderness Road Council. “These women exemplified the Girl Scout Promise and Law through ethical leadership and a commitment to making a difference in the lives of fellow citizens.” winner Nikky Finney, actress Patricia Neal, and the Judds.

Nearly a century later, the curriculum and enrollment have expanded, but the same quality, affordable education is still available at Alice Lloyd College. In fact, U.S. News and World Report ranked Alice Lloyd College #1 on their list of the “10 Colleges Where Graduates Have the Least Debt.” Alice Lloyd topped the national list that included such prestigious institutions as the Ivy League’s Princeton and Yale. According to the nationwide study, sixty-eight percent of graduates in the class of 2011 borrowed to help pay for college. On average, those students had $26,220 in debt. However, at Alice Lloyd College, 2011 graduates had the lowest average debt of any institution with the 34 percent of students who borrowed owing an average of just $3,750. Alice Lloyd College was also ranked #8 on TheBestSchools.org list of the Best Colleges Providing Free Tuition. The colleges were selected based on financial aid packages, quality of degree programs, types of courses offered, faculty prestige, rankings, awards, and overall reputation. Throughout this academic year, Alice Lloyd College has been mentioned on Yahoo! Finance, named in an article in The Wall Street Journal, and even talked about on The TODAY Show with Al Roker. Alice Lloyd College has received national attention because the College is one of a select number of schools in the country that offers programs specifically designed to help students cut down on debt. Alice Lloyd College is committed to providing guaranteed tuition to students from our 108-county service area. Due to the generosity of alumni, staff, trustees, churches, societies, businesses, foundations, and countless friends across America, students from this service area in central Appalachia may attend Alice Lloyd regardless of financial circumstances. Tuition is guaranteed to those students through several sources, but in particular through endowed scholarships that produce income to fund the supreme financial aid packages available to qualified students. Depending on a student’s financial situation, they may be required to pay room/board, the cost of textbooks, and the matriculation fee, but as reflected in the U.S. News and World Report and TheBestSchools.org rankings, the resulting amount owed is far less than what students pay elsewhere. As one of the nation’s seven work colleges, Alice Lloyd requires its students to participate in the Student Work Program as a way to meet the costs of guaranteeing their tuition. Students hold various on-campus or off-campus jobs, including (but certainly not limited to) campus maintenance, janitorial duties, student and community services, and administrative assistants. The program requires every full-time student to work a minimum of 160 hours per semester, and the students are paid the prevailing minimum wage rate. Alice Lloyd College is committed to educating tomorrow’s leaders – young people from Appalachia with new ideas, talents, and abilities. We are dedicated to giving students a helping hand, not a hand-out, because we believe that when given the right tools, and getting a great financial start, our students can move mountains!

Hall At The June Buchanan School, all students are encouraged to set high standards for themselves and to continually work towards the achievement of their goals. One such outstanding JBS student who has been striving to fulfill his literary ambitions is Ian T. Hall, son of Charles David and Cindy Hall of Raven, Kentucky. Ian is the type of student who would stand out in any crowd. Initially, one notices his 6’7” frame—a characteristic which comes in handy when he is playing basketball for the Crusaders; however, after speaking with Ian, it becomes apparent that this is not your average student. Ian’s keen intellect and command of the English language is apparent to anyone who meets him. His love of language and literature has formed a strong foundation for a phenomenal school year and the potential for future success.

  • The Identification and Division of Steve Jobs
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Scott M. Anderson for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in Speech Communication, Speech Communication, and English presented on May 17, 2012. Title: The Identification and Division of Steve Jobs Abstract approved: Mark P. Moore On April 1, 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak entered into a partnership agreement to found Apple Computer. In the decade that followed, Apple experienced remarkable growth and success, as Jobs catapulted Apple to the Fortune 500 list of top‐flight companies faster than any other company in history. Under direction of Jobs, Apple, an idea that started in a garage, transformed into a major force in the computer industry of the 1980s. Though Jobs’ leadership undoubtedly influenced Apple’s success during this time, in 1995, he was forced to resign, when conflicts mounted at the executive level. Using Kenneth Burke’s theory of identification and the dramatistic process, this thesis examines Jobs’ discourse through a series of interviews and textual artifacts. First, I provide a framework for Jobs’ acceptance and rejection of the social order at Apple, and then consider the ways in which Jobs identified with employee and consumer audiences on the basis of division. Analysis shows that Jobs identified with individual empowerment, but valued separation and exclusivity. Jobs’ preference to create identification through division, therefore, established the foundation for new identifications to emerge. The findings of this study suggest that division has significant implications for creating unity. ©Copyright by Scott M.

  • A Plague of Biblical Dimensions. the Rise of a Movement That Gloried in the Murder of Civilians, Journalists and Aid Workers
    Image by Alex MacLean. Alberta, Canada, 2014 A plague of biblical dimensions. The rise of a movement that gloried in the murder of civilians, journalists and aid workers. A series of tragic police encounters, in the second term of America’s first black president, that undermined our faith in progress toward racial justice. 2014 was a difficult year, for the world and for journalism. Coverage of Ebola and Ferguson often featured more heat than light. A reporting fiasco atRolling Stone undermined the case for action against sexual crimes. The New Republic’s implosion showed that a billionaire owner is no guarantee of success. In the midst of turbulence the Pulitzer Center stuck to the mission set forth by Joseph Pulitzer III decades ago—“to illuminate dark places and, with a deep sense of responsibility, interpret these troubled times.” Our journalists produced 385 stories for 130 outlets—using new media, visual data, powerful images and old-fashioned storytelling to reach increasingly diverse audiences. We commissioned more reporting than ever, on topics ranging from the rise of the Islamic State and lessons learned from the Ebola crisis to climate change and the role of religion in public policy. We rejoiced in the release by Somali pirates of Pulitzer Center journalist grantee Michael Scott Moore, after two years and eight months of captivity. Our education initiatives continued to grow, reaching thousands of students through nearly 500 engagements. Student fellows from partner universities in our Campus Consortium reported from 16 countries, on issues ranging from Syrian refugees to hydropower in India and healthcare in Kenya.

This report details our investigation and disruption of the advanced persistent threat actor known in the security industry as Arid Viper, who we identified creating and using fake accounts in targeted cyber espionage campaigns. For the first time, we observed Arid Viper incorporating fully functional custom iOS surveillanceware, capable of stealing sensitive user data from iPhones without requiring devices be jailbroken prior to compromise. The focus of Arid Viper’s recent operation we discuss in this paper shows similar geographic and occupational targeting as was previously reported by our industry peers. Much of Arid Viper’s activity detailed in this report focused on individuals in Palestine, including government officials, members of the Fatah political party, student groups, and security forces.

  • Strategic Leadership and Innovation at Apple
    . . . 309-038-1 STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP & INNOVATION AT APPLE INC1. Stop and look at Apple for a second, since it's an odd company. ... While most high- tech firms focus on one or two sectors, Apple does all of them at once ... Apple is essentially operating its own closed miniature techno-economy. ... If you follow conventional wisdom, Apple is doing it all wrong. And yet ... this is the company that gave us three of the signature technological innovations of the past 30 years: the Apple II, the Macintosh and the iPod. (Grossman, 2005) Apples Fall and Rise Voted as the most innovative company for three consecutive years during 2006-2008 and as Americas number 1 most Admired Company (McGregor, 2008), Apple seemed to have it all: innovative products that have redefined their markets (such as the iMac and the iPod), a consumer base as loyal as a fun club, and a business model characterized by vertical integration and synergies that no competitor could easily imitate. The Apple brand had transcended the barriers of the computer industry to traverse the consumer electronics, record, movie, and the video and music production industries (see Figure 1 for an outline of Apples product and service portfolio). In 2008 the Apple brand was listed as the 24th most valuable global brand (up from 33rd place the previous year), valued at $13.7bn (Interbrand, 2008). After a lackluster period during 1989-1997 when Apple was nearly written off, its dynamic comeback was impressive. Between 2003 and 2008 Apples sales tripled to $24 billion and profits increased to $3.5 billion, up from a mere $24 million (See Table 1 for an outline of Apples financial performance during 2006-8).

  • FY20 Annual Report
    Accelerating the Pace of Conservation Fiscal Year 2020 Annual Report and Progress Made on the 2025 Strategic Action Plan This year, TLC nature preserves have been more important than ever. TLC nature preserves have never been more important to our community, and they are not possible without you, our incredible supporters. You have made this year — which has been hard for so many — better for thousands of people in so many ways. We cannot tell you how many messages we’ve received that share the same sentiment: TLC nature preserves have been absolutely vital during the pandemic. Before COVID-19, in October 2019, TLC conserved its largest land project ever — Brogden Bottomlands, a 1,120-acre tract of land in Johnston County, and helped host the national Land Trust Alliance Rally in Raleigh. Throughout the year, staff hosted dozens of volunteer workdays and environmental education programs. I am proud of TLC staff, board, volunteers, and supporters for the way they have adapted and dealt with these challenging times. Starting at the beginning of this pandemic, we had to postpone (and ultimately cancel) two of our most anticipated events of the year: Wild Ideas for Farms and Forests in March and the Grand Opening of Bailey and Sarah Williamson Preserve in April. Since then, we’ve accomplished so much together. Before March was over, we launched a new webinar series called Conservation Conversations. We’ve been grateful to work with some of our volunteers remotely. We were blown away by everyone’s generosity on our Giving Day on April 22. And we were thrilled to finally open Williamson Preserve to the public in September.

Of course, what are called the “glamour” jobs—the movies, television, the music business, fashion—often only seem glamorous from the outside: Working in one of those fi elds is fraught with constant challenges and frustrations. Hardly anyone thinks of technology as a glamour field, but for me, at least, work has never been as satisfying or as unbelievably exciting as when I was working with Steve Jobs. I’ve known and worked with the leaders of IBM and Intel; I’ve met great leaders and thinkers, including Jack Welch, Buckminster Fuller, and Joseph Campbell, and discussed the next paradigm change in organizational structure with Peter Drucker.
