Diamonds in the snow this Friday morning By Linda Waggener The Friday morning sun comes up and a million diamonds sparkle in the icy snow. Mesmerized, I can barely help staring into each little diamond cluster. When I finally turn away it takes minutes to be able to focus. Sunshine on sparkling snow makes even these freezing temperatures bearable... as long as I'm inside a warm space looking out.

LWC Business students help Louisville business plan for future From Duane Bonifer When Louisville, Kentucky, small business owner Kyle Edwards was looking for a new perspective on his decade-old company, he turned to his alma mater for help. Edwards, who is president of Edwards Managed Technology Computer Consulting, enlisted the help of students in Lindsey Wilson's "Business Policy Class" to develop a strategic plan for his company. Seven teams of students spent three weeks studying, examining and analyzing every angle of the information technology consulting company, then presented their recommendations to Edwards in a competition. The winning team was selected based on scores compiled from a panel of judges that included the class' professor, Cathy Boatright, who is a business administration professor and coordinator of the college's business program. The winning team featured business seniors Alessia Bergesio of Serralunga d'Alba, Italy, Elisa Burzio of Chieri, Italy, Anastasiia Ivanchenko of Chernivtsi, Ukraine, and Anastasiia Vorobiova of Odessa, Ukraine, and business junior Alejandra Martinez of Cochabamba, Bolivia. "The students generated some really good ideas and thoughts," said Edwards, who is a 2006 Lindsey Wilson graduate and is a member of the Lindsey Wilson School of Business and Communication Advisory Board. "Some things they mentioned I had already thought about, but hearing someone from the outside bring it up brings a good perspective to what we're looking at."

Carol Perkins: Worn Boots Previous Column: The Magnet By Carol Perkins I took an old pair of Guy's boots to church to use as a prop for my children's sermon. I held up the worn, crinkled, and weathered boots. "Would you buy these?" I asked. "If they were at a thrift store, would you buy for $5?" You can predict the answer. Then I asked, "If I gave them to you, would you wear them?" One darling girl said, "Yes, but they're too big." Most wouldn't wear, buy, or have them in their closet. My point was coming.
