Peace Corps Announces 2015 Top Volunteer-Producing Schools

By Peace Corps Press Office

WASHINGTON, D.C., Feb. 18, 2015 - For the second time in three years, schools in the state of Washington produced the most Peace Corps volunteers across small, medium and large-sized undergraduate colleges and universities nationwide. The University of Washington reclaimed the top spot among large schools with 72 alumni currently in service, and Western Washington University and Gonzaga University again topped medium and small schools with 47 and 20 currently serving alumni, respectively. Washington is the only state to top all three of Peace Corps' undergraduate school ranking categories, and the state has long appeared on the agency's rankings of the top volunteer-producing states and metropolitan areas.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison - which topped last year's list - came in second this year among large schools with 69 alumni in service, followed by the University of Florida with 66 alumni in service. Among medium-sized schools, American University climbed to the No. 2 spot with 41 alumni currently serving, and George Washington University and the University of Virginia tied for third place, each with 36 alumni in service. Carlton College jumped to second place among small schools with 17 alumni in service, and Middlebury College and the University of Puget Sound both moved up from No. 14 last year to No. 3 this year - tying for the biggest jump in ranking over last year - each with 16 alumni in service.

"The Peace Corps provides an indispensable opportunity for young people out of college to put their unique skills to work making a difference for communities around the world," Peace Corps Director Carrie Hessler-Radelet said. "Volunteers make lasting change by living and working at the grassroots level in their communities of service and using their talents to tackle some of the most critical challenges in international development."

Among graduate schools, the University of Denver again held the top spot but this year tied with Tulane University, a new addition to Peace Corps' graduate school rankings, with 18 alumni in service. The University of California, Berkeley remained the all-time highest producer of Peace Corps volunteers in the country, with nearly 3,600 alumni who have served since the Peace Corps was founded in 1961.

This year's rankings follow historic reforms to Peace Corps' application and selection process, led by Hessler-Radelet, that resulted in a 22-year application high for the agency in 2014. Applicants will now find a simplified, more personal application process, and can learn more about Peace Corps service opportunities by contacting their local recruitment office.

Below find the top five colleges and universities in each category and the number of alumni currently serving as Peace Corps volunteers.

Why You Shouldn't Go Cheap When Filing Your Taxes

By Rick Martin
Financial Expert Explains Why You Should Hire A Good CPA & Not Part-time Help; Offers Tips

It's that time of year for part-time help at the local tax-preparation location, when drivers can see seasonal staff standing at busy intersections wearing costumes of the Statue of Liberty or Uncle Sam. But they're not the only ones who are hired part time, says professional advisor to Certified Public Accountants Gary Marriage, Jr.

"I sometimes ask people, 'Do you want a guy in a costume to handle your taxes?' Of course, the guy actually doing the paperwork probably won't be the guy standing near the traffic, but he's also not the person you want dealing with your bottom line," says Marriage, CEO of Nature Coast Financial Advisors (www.naturecoastfinancial.com).

"I know millionaires who go to these pop-up tax firms; they'd rather spend a few hundred dollars on their return than a grand or two with a skilled CPA. But this apparent savings comes at a cost, because a good accountant is likely to find many thousands of dollars in savings in a single tax return, and they are far less liable to make a mistake."

Marriage offers additional tips for consideration this tax season.

•  Have your records handy, and consider a long-term relationship. Not only is it advantageous to file taxes through a CPA, it's also smart to have all relevant records readily available at your disposal - no matter who is helping you with your return.

"Not only do I strongly advise you to use a reputable CPA that you can trust, I also think you should try to establish a long-term relationship with him or her," Marriage says. "Think of a financial professional as similar to a doctor or lawyer - the better they know you, the better off you'll be. High-net-worth individuals have the most incentive for professional financial services, even if they've made a hobby of saving money by doing things their own way."

•  High-income earners pay the vast majority of income taxes - don't volunteer more. Taxpayers with incomes exceeding $100,000 earn 60 percent of the country's income, yet contribute 95.2 percent of the income taxes, according to recent estimates from Congress's Joint Committee on Taxation. Additionally, those earning more than $100,000 - a bit more than 20 percent of taxpayers - pay for 75.7 percent of total federal taxes, excluding the burden on corporate and investment taxes.

"There are many high-income earners who are passionate about their careers and love what they do; they care more about their work than their income," he says. "These tend to be the folks who need reminders that there are legal avenues available for protecting their hard-earned money."

•  High-net-worth individuals should consider CRAT. Many people, financial professionals with years of experience, do not know about Charitable Remainder Annuity Trusts, a form of financial protection that Marriage often teaches to CPAs. CRATs are a flexible and effective instrument used in financial and estate planning. A CRAT provides a significant tax shelter for any assets and property placed within it. That allows any assets in a charitable remainder annuity trust to increase in value without being taxed on the increase. A well-constructed CRAT can provide financial security for the annuitants.

"CRATs are surprisingly underutilized, but many CPAs I run into simply don't know about it," Marriage says. "It's worth asking your financial advisor about, and if your advisor is unfamiliar with the structure, encourage him or her to look into it."

About Gary Marriage

Gary Marriage Jr. is the founder and CEO of Nature Coast Financial Advisors (www.naturecoastfinancial.com), which educates retirees on how to protect their assets, increase their income and reduce their taxes. Marriage is a national speaker, delivering solutions for pre-retirees, business owners and seniors on the areas affecting their retirement and estates. He is an approved member of the National Ethics Bureau, and has been featured in "America's Top Hometown Financial Advisors 2011" and most recently selected to co-author a book with Steve Forbes titled, "SuccessOnomics: Power Principles." Marriage is also the founder of Operation Veteran Aid, an advocate for war-time veterans and their families.

Annual commemoration of Clarence Darrow's death takes place March 13

By Tracy Baim

CLARENCE DARROW SYMPOSIUM TO EXPLORE UNDOCUMENTED LABORERS AND IMMIGRATION

CHICAGO -  On the seventy-eighth anniversary of famed attorney Clarence Darrow's death, this year's annual Darrow symposium on Friday, March 13 explores contemporary activism on the issues of undocumented laborers and immigration. Darrow's attitude is summarized by a quote from a 1929 debate on "Is Immigration Beneficial?" in which he said, "I am a foreigner; my people didn't get here until about 1710. They got here, and now I am asked to close the doors to the people who came over on a later ship."

This year's symposium views the issues through the work of three passionate and outspoken advocates for the undocumented. Tania Unzueta Carrasco is an immigrant queer community organizer and writer who is known nationally for using direct action and civil disobedience to fight against deportations and harsh immigration enforcement practices and policy.  Catholic Sisters Patricia Murphy and JoAnn Persch founded the Interfaith Committee for Detained Immigrants, which works in detention centers, a deportation center, the immigration court and the Post-Detention Accompaniment program.

The day begins with a brief ceremony and flower-tossing near the Darrow Bridge in Jackson Park at 10 a.m., where Darrow's ashes were scattered after his death and where, as a bet, he once agreed his spirit would return if it turned out communication was possible from the afterworld. The bridge is closed due to construction, so the ceremony will be just to the east of the Darrow tribute marker. For the past 58 years, through the annual commemoration ceremony and lecture, Darrow's spirit has returned-usually to remind us that his work is not yet done.

After the ritual outdoor flower-tossing, guests will move inside to the Museum of Science and Industry's Rosenwald Room (formerly the New Columbian Room) for light refreshments and presentations at 10:45 by the featured speakers. The program also includes an appearance by high school junior Marissa Howe, winner of the Clarence Darrow History Award (which is sponsored by the Clarence Darrow Commemorative Committee) at the 2014 Chicago Metro History Fair.

Darrow, who died March 13, 1938, is remembered for his crusading role as "attorney for the damned" in such controversial cases as the Scopes Monkey Trial, the Leopold and Loeb murder case, and the pardoning of the Haymarket anarchists.

DIRECTIONS: The Clarence Darrow Bridge is behind the Museum of Science and Industry. Since it is currently under construction, the flower-tossing ceremony will take place just east of the bridge. Drive south on Lake Shore Drive, pass the light at 57th Drive and turn right at the next light [Science Drive]. You will come almost immediately to Columbia Drive. If you turn left and follow Columbia Drive there is parking near the bridge. You may park near the OmniMax Theater and walk south to the bridge.

For more details see www.darrowbridge.org.

New FSBO Site for the Quad Cities

By Devin Hansen

Rock Island, IL - After 16 months of development and testing, QCFindaHome.com has officially launched in the Quad Cities real estate market. QCFindahome is a For Sale by Owner (FSBO) site operated by Borderless SEO LLC, with an office located in downtown Rock Island.

QCFindaHome.com is an innovative website, that introduces new real estate tools to buyers and sellers in the area.

1) QCFAH is the first "responsive" FSBO website, which means it will work properly on any mobile device, without an app. It will adjust its layout and aesthetics, depending on the device a person is viewing it from, be it an iPhone, iPad, or other tablet or smartphone.

2) QCFindaHome.com also offers free yard signs, which have a unique number, so buyers can view a home's information sheet, simply by typing that number into the site on their smartphone.

3) Perhaps the biggest innovation by QCFAH, is that they  also syndicates all of their listings to major real estate search engines, such as Zillow, Trulia, AOL, MSN Real Estate, HotPads.com and many more. This is the FIRST and only FSBO company in the area to do this.

The website was developed by Devin Hansen and his team at Borderless SEO LLC, as a result of a recent home search. Hansen found it difficult to view FSBO sites on his smartphone while searching for a home, so he developed it to be responsive, and easy to user for people driving around town looking for a house.

QCFindaHome.com currently employs two people, and hopes to expand to a team of five by the middle of this year.
