Internal Medicine Physician
Dr. Edith Irby Jones
Pioneering medical physician Dr. Edith Irby Jones was born on December 23, 1927 to Mattie Buice Irby, a maid, and Robert Irby, a farmer. As a child, Jones witnessed her older sister die due to a typhoid epidemic and was encouraged to pursue a career as a medical physician. She attended Langston Elementary School and Langston Secondary School both in Hot Springs, Arkansas. In 1944, Jones' high school teacher helped her obtain a scholarship to attend Knoxville College in Knoxville, Tennessee where she majored in chemistry, biology and physics. While at Knoxville College, Jones was an active member of the Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society and was initiated into the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. In addition, Jones was a member of the debate team, pep squad, drama club and the YMCA.
In 1948, nine years before the "Little Rock Nine" integrated Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, Jones became the first African American admitted to the University of Arkansas College of Medicine. Although she was not provided with the same housing, dining or bathroom facilities as white students, Jones received support from her high school alumni, neighbors and a black-owned local newspaper, The Arkansas State-Press. Afterwards, she received an internship at the University Hospital in Little Rock. In Arkansas, Jones practiced medicine and worked with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the Civil Rights Movement before moving with her family to Texas in 1958. In 1959, Jones began her residency in internal medicine at Baylor College of Medicine Affiliated Hospitals, but the hospital that she was assigned to segregated her, limiting her patient rosters. She completed the last months of her residency at Freedman's Hospital in Washington, D.C., and in 1963, she received an academic appointment as a clinical assistant professor of medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine.
On May 4, 1979, Jones' achievements were recognized by the State of Arkansas, and she was honored with the founding of the annual celebration of Edith Irby Jones Day. That following year, she became a founding member of the Association of Black Cardiologists Incorporated. In 1985, Jones became the first woman to be elected president of the National Medical Association, and in 1986, she led the United States Task Force on Health to Haiti where the medical and healthcare infrastructure were examined and potential solutions for the impoverished nation were explored.
In 1997, the Edith Irby Jones M.D. Hospital was opened in Houston, Texas. Later, in 2001, Jones was named in Black Enterprise Magazine's selection of 101 leading black physicians in America. She has received numerous awards and recognitions for her contributions to the medical field and the American Civil Rights Movement including: the Sinkler Miller Medical Association National Achievement Award, Kato Models Woman of the Year Award, Pioneer Award from the Student National Medical Association, Mickey Leland Certificate of Congressional Award, Bennett College Belle Ringer Image Award and the Oscar E. Edwards Memorial Award for Volunteers.
Jones was interviewed by The HistoryMakers on March 10, 2008.
Jones passed away on July 15, 2019.

So you go to Cass Tech [Cass Technical High School, Detroit, Michigan], now for the benefit of our viewers, Cass Tech is considered, was considered one of the elitist schools of Detroit, Michigan?$$Um-hm.$$So now you go to Cass Tech and what, what happens there for you?$$Well, you know, well the first thing is that, and this was a new concept for us, but, you're right, it was a magnet school, but you had to test to get in but there was, there were some of us who were invited to attend. And we were invited to attend and become a part of science and arts curriculum, which was an honors curriculum and, and not knowing Detroit, so we're relatively new there, but my mother's [Jonetta Everette Crowe] best friend who was like a second mother to me in many ways, just said, "Oh, absolutely, this is an opportunity you don't want, you know, not take advantage of," and, and that was it. You know, that was it and I, Cass was--it opened up even broader horizons, now you know we used to call it the pickle factory 'cause it looked like a pickle factory, you know, it was a pretty big old school, we had to all take the city bus to go to school. But I went to school with some kids that were just incredible people, some of whom are friends to this day, some of whom have done some amazing things in this world, made some tremendous footprints.$$Okay give us a few names of people that that, that we might want to know about.$$Oh wow. Well one is David Alan Grier, who is a very well-known actor, and he was a Cass Techite, you know, a Cass Techie, and Wanda [Wanda Whitten-Shurney], oh gosh, I'm blocking out her last name, she's a hematologist, her father [HistoryMaker Dr. Charles Whitten] was a, a very, very well-known hematologist in Detroit, did a lot of ground breaking research with sickle cell disease and she was a classmate, actually not only in high school, but also medical school [Howard University College of Medicine, Washington, D.C.], Harriet Covington [Harriet Covington-Smith], also a friend from medical school as well as high school, oh my gosh. And then, then you had the musicians who are amazing, Geri Allen, one of my classmates who is a very well-known established recording artist, straight ahead jazz pianist, J. Jones [ph.], a very accomplished saxophone player, I mean, so we, you know, we had all of the curriculums, then you had the perfor- the performing arts crowd and you know, and nobody gave any credence to the computer science club, but they're probably all, they've--$$(Laughter).$$--probably all became millionaires, up to the '90s [1990s], and we just lost track, I don't know (laughter).$$So--so Cass, they had a very fertile environment for you to grow, would you say (simultaneous)?$$(Simultaneous) Oh amazing. So, so much, I mean, you know, friends were attorneys and, and you know, the whole, you know the, the legacy, the Patti Coutiver [ph.], a very good friend of mine in high school, an attorney, her fam- her father was an educator, a very well established and well known educator. The former superintendent of schools [Cornelius L. Golightly], his daughter, Linnie Golightly [Linnie M. Golightly], was a classmate at Cass, so it was incredible and many of my friends wer- are physicians and, and, and attorneys and other careers that are considered leadership type careers as a result of that.$(Simultaneous) Do you recall your first assignment?$$Uh-huh. I was in community internal medicine, oh my goodness, ha, ha, with a gentleman who sadly, y- what I've come to realize is that some people's mediocrity prevents them from seeing the greatness in other people and they make it a conscious effort to put the squash on other people because of their own internal insecurity, and I saw a lot of that, I saw a lot of that, people hiding behind the shields of the Mayo Clinic [Mayo Clinic School of Medicine, Rochester, Minnesota] and with their own mediocrity. And I saw some things that really exposed what that whole experience was, was all about but, but I, I remember being nervous, a, a new intern, first rotation out of medical school [Howard University College of Medicine, Washington, D.C.] and a patient came in, he was very, very, very critically ill, we worked on him, you know, along with the, you know, the E- you know he came in through the ER [emergency room], I worked on him, did, you know, some things; read, worked, read, worked, you know, you had to really kind of move fast, got him kind of stabilized but you know, the, the attendings, consultants would always say, you know, call us, keep us posted, let us know what's going on. So maybe I called them at four o'clock and when I said, "I just wanted to let you know about the person came in and this is what happened and, you know, he's, he's doing better now." He said, "Well if he's still alive, call me in the morning," bam! Or, "We'll deal with it in the morning," and he hung up the phone on me, and I thought, okay so that, that, that was the first baptism by fire, and I realized, okay, so now I understand.$$So, so, so what did you do at that point when he did that to you?$$Oh, I--$$Were angered, or, or do you say, or what did you do?$$Oh, yeah (simultaneous)--$$(Simultaneous) 'Cause you--$$--it angers you.$$--had a patient.$$But it makes you strong. Let me tell you something, and, and this is what the old folks say, if it doesn't kill you, it'll make you strong. It made you strong. Every little hurt, every little slight, every little obstacle, every little pin that was pushed in my side intentionally, and mes- mostly intentionally, it just made me stronger. I'm, I, I'm, I made sure that there wasn't anything in medicine that I had not seen or knew about and I've, I've made that my philosophy. And I read, I read the PDR ['Physicians' Desk Reference'] and never forgetting once, I went to see somebody at his office, one of the consultants and I had the PDR and I was reading about something, he said, "What are you doing? Reading the PDR?" You know, he was kind of snickering, kind of in a very snide, and I said, you know, and I just laughed and said oh no. Yeah, I was reading the PDR, as a matter of fact, I was gonna read every aspect of that drug, at least what we knew about so I would be that much better informed so.

Dr. George Clayton Branche, Jr. describes his medical duties in the Korean War
I'll ask you now, but we'll keep going in chronological order. Well, why was that not an option for you? Why did you not see that as a path for you to take?$$I wasn't interested. I was afraid to fly. I was afraid to ride a horse. I was afraid to ride, I fell off a pony at camp and never rode a horse, and I had no interest in it, and I was active, and I wanted to go to medical school, and I was fortunate, they needed doctors.$$Had you always been interested in medicine?$$I never thought of anything else.$$For how long? How far back can you remember?$$Well, as far as I can remember. That's the only think I knew. I lived in a community of doctors, my father [George Clayton Branche, Sr.] was a doctor, his close friends were physicians. I didn't know what kind I would be, but I never thought, as I said, and I'll get to the, once I got into Bowdoin College [Brunswick, Maine], I had spent almost two years there, 1944, I had finished my, I finished Boston Latin [Boston Latin School, Boston, Massachusetts] in '42 [1942]. I spent two years at Bowdoin and was told that unless I got into medical school that I would be subject to the draft. I only, didn't have enough, yeah, I only had two years, but I took a summer and at that time all, many of my classmates were in the same situation I was. We were only nineteen and twenty and so the colleges, Williams [Williams College, Williamstown, Massachusetts], Bowdoin, many of us, my friend Garrett [John Garrett, Jr.] at Amherst [Amherst College, Amherst, Massachusetts], we were allowed to go to medical school and we, and then we accelerated very rapidly, but then in 1945, the war [World War II, WWII] sort of ended and we decelerated so we spent a couple, one six-month period without going to school, and we had to write a little thesis and do something else, and then went on back and finished. And, but the reason, as I said, I was always interested in medicine. And at Boston University [Boston University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts], it was a very tiny school. When my father went there, there were only twenty-three students at the medical school. And three of 'em was black, including my father. And when I went to BU medical school, it was still small. There were only fifty-nine and now there're over 160 in each class.$$How many blacks were there when you were there of the fifty-nine?$$Very, I was the only one in my class, just like I was the only one at Bowdoin, except for a young fellow who was there for a year and left to go in the [U.S.] Army.$$Where did you live when you went out to Bowdoin?$$When I went back, when I came back from Bowdoin? My mother [Lillian Davidson Branche] had moved to 71 Highland Street. A family moved out and she moved in the same building, apartment, little apartment in Boston [Massachusetts], and I used to ride a bicycle from my apartment to the medical school. I'd get on my, had my books on the back and I'd get on my little bike and kids would say look, there's a man on a bike. So I rode that and they would let me hook it up inside the building and then I would bicycle back up to, it was a couple, maybe mile and a half, two miles.$But I only spent a, no more than four or five weeks, and then I was allowed, I traded places with this fellow, as I told you I don't like flying, but I was willing to get into a little tiny two-seater with my duffel bag and fly south. And while I was there I was--you had to have a dispensary. You had to have a dispensary for soldiers when they had various problems, whether they're STS [significant threshold shift], sexually transmitted disorders, or various other things, or whether the common cold or whether they were this or that. They would come to the dispensary. Now--$$A dispensary is a pharmacy basically.$$The dispensary is a little tent where I had, had a little desk and things, and I had pills and so forth to treat--injections for certain disorders. But I saw very few sick people in this little--now there weren't, there wasn't a great deal of fighting going on. You remember there were little lulls in fighting. Now we're talking now, we're talking, I got to this hospital and about February of 1993 [sic. 1953], and there were no major battles or anything going on. Occasionally there was a push so to speak when the Chinese became involved and there were skirmishes and so they came, they did bring in, as I said, this was Evacuation Hospital [11th Evacuation Hospital, Korea]. They would bring troops down from the lines and so there were times when there were troops who had to have emergency surgical procedures which is what some of my friends were involved with. But I couldn't help out because I knew nothing about surgical tech. In fact, they would ask all of the officers, medical officers, to come and give a hand, and I recall, I never will forget it, when I got in the operating room, and my friend Wharton [ph.] would be operating, really working hard, and I would try to, he said, "Gee you're all thumbs," he said, "please leave." And I was, I had to leave. But anyhow, as things passed on, what happened was I allowed the Korean civilians to come into the clinic, those who had medical problems that I could handle, and so each morning you would see a line up outside, see it was a gate, not a gate, but a guard would be there opening, letting them into our little ground, camp, whatever you want to call them, you'd find maybe fifteen, twenty or so lined up coming in, and so it was okay. In fact, the U.S., my superiors said, sure, you can see as many as you, so they would line up and take their time and I would see them for various forms of anemia, a lot of parasitic diseases and minor problems that I could handle and they were grateful, and I enjoyed it, because otherwise I wouldn't have been practicing any medicine.$$You wouldn't have had anything to do.$$Very little.$$Very little.$$And so anyhow, I was there for about ten, let's see, from oh about eight to ten months and then I was transferred to the area near Seoul [South Korea], to the 121st Evacuation Hospital. That was in the town across from the Han River from Yeongam-eup [South Korea], I got promoted to captaincy, I was captain, and did primarily--much bigger facility and we, the general medical, we had medical wards and treated more medical problems, I left there. The war ended as you will recall only a few months after I got to Korea actually. And I left Korea in 1954, and came to, back to the states.

Dr. Linda Rae Murray remembers a sexist response when she asked for a recommendation to medical school
I was going to tell you one story about the religious--the, the one time in my life where I thought this was really relevant. Early in the AIDS [acquired immunodeficiency syndrome] epidemic, a Baptist minister approached me to, to make a tape that they were using to educate Baptist ministers about AIDS. And he actually was one of the board members of an organization that used to exist in Chicago [Illinois] called the AIDS Pastoral Care Network. And this was a group of Catholic priests and other leaders of religion who came together to work on the AIDS problems and, and to deal with the homophobia in all the churches. The feeling was many of the organized churches were not responsive to the AIDS epidemic early on and this was a group of ministers and priests who were trying to respond. And so after I had worked with them a little bit, they asked me to be on the board. And you know they, they were very careful. They have, you know, rabbis and Baptists and you know all the, you know all the different groups. And I told them, I said well I'll be glad to be on your board, but I, I'm an atheist. And they said, "Oh, [HistoryMaker Dr.] Linda [Rae Murray], don't worry, we're ecumenical. We have Jews and radical faeries and Catholics. We won't mind an atheist or two." So that was their approach. And as a matter of fact when I went off the board, because we would always have these discussions on the board and--I was always the one that would say, I thought you guys were supposed to be spiritual leaders. You know, shouldn't we be doing this and that and the other? And so I, I have a plaque that's in my office and it, and it is from them and it doesn't say I'm an atheist, but it says--but, but they would always say is, "Well, you may be an atheist, but you're very spiritual." That, that's what they would always tell me, you know. "When you talk, you're very spiritual." So I said, well if you say so. So I guess that's where I am, that's what--that's--I suppose if I was pressed against the wall, that's what I would tell people. I'm an atheist, but I guess I'm spiritual enough that the, that the organized religions can tolerate me, so.$$What do you think they mean by that when they say you're spiritual?$$Well--'cause I always referred back to the principles that we worked under, you know and, and you know I mean for lack of a better word, they're the principles of any religion, you know, that you want to be compassionate, that you want to be fair, that you want to take the organization in a direction that fulfilled its mission. So if there was a grant proposal out there that took us in an opposite direction, that we really, you know we were really supposed to be doing, providing spiritual support for people with AIDS, and for their families. And so you know if there was a choice, should we do--be doing pastoral care or should we do something else like spend more time on the AIDS walk. You know I would always say well what are our basic principles say? I think that's what they meant by it, that I would always refer back to what the organization's principles were.$At U of I [University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Illinois] they called me in and said, you know, "[HistoryMaker Dr.] Linda [Rae Murray], you have," you know, "you need 200 hours to graduate, you got 250," or what--you know I had, I had way over what, you know and, "you're taking up space. We need you to graduate." I, you know I had long since finished all my math courses and stuff and I said well, the reason I haven't graduated is because I'm really pre-med and I'm applying to medical school and you know and I, you know, just had whatever cell biology. I was in the process of doing that. And they said, "You're never getting into medical school, you know, you need to go on and get out of here. You, you have a degree in math. You have no choice. We're, we're going to make you graduate." It was December or something. So I walked down the hall and I changed my major to art. Filled out the paperwork. I didn't have a art course. I tried to pick something I didn't have a course in. So I changed my major to art so they couldn't force me to graduate. I only had one more semester to go. And that's the, that's the time when I was applying. And I, I remember my organic--you know U of I is a huge place. And so you don't, you know it's not like U of C [University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois]. So you don't, you don't know very many fac--I didn't know any of the faculty there, nobody. You're in this huge classroom, three hundred kids, you know, nothing. And you had to have recommendations. And so they had a system where they would, they would give you a generic recommendation that some English major would write, just based on your grades. And, but you had to have it. So I went to my organic teacher and I remember Marcus [Murray]-- Marcus was--my son--was a little baby in arms then, I had had him. And, and I had gotten a good grade in organic chemistry. So I said, well let me, you know go talk to him. And I had, had some interaction with the professor, not very much, but--and I said, you know "I'm trying to go to medical school and you know I, and I need you--I need a recommendation". You know and so, "I, I would like to ask you to give me a recommendation." It was very difficult for me to go ask. And he, and he, you know, looked up his files and he said, "Oh, I remember, I remember you. You were an excellent student. He said I would love to give you a recommendation, but I just can't." So I was--I said well why not? He said, "Because I don't think women should be doctors." I was in shock. We talked for like two hours. I said, "Well why do you say that?" He had grown up in the [Great] Depression. His mother was a stay-at-home mother and she had to go to work during the Depression. You know he--and that just scarred him. He just didn't think women--he thought women should be at home. And I said, "Well do you, do you know who I am?" I said, "I'm a"--I said, "The women in my family all work. First they were picking cotton as slaves, I mean they all--what are you talking about? We're--you have to work," you know. I said, "I'm a single mother. If I don't work, my son is going to starve. I would prefer to work as a doctor than scrubbing out toilets, but I'm going to work. Now the question is"--so we had this big discussion back and forth and I was trying to say, you know, working class women and black women, we've always worked. If you don't work, your kids starve, you know. I couldn't understand. He never budged. So I said--so I finally told him I don't--I guess he didn't do horrible, 'cause I got in. I said, "Well I'll tell you what. I said you know I have to have three recommendations. If you write down exactly what you told me, I could live with that." He said, "What?" I said, "If you just, if you promise me that you'll write down that if I was a man, you would think I would be a great doctor and I was a good student, but you don't think I should--if you just are honest. If you, if you're going to write down I shouldn't be a doctor, I don't want--but if you can promise me that you'll write down the real reason, exactly what you've told me, I'll live with that." He said, "Okay, I can do that," you know. So I was shocked at that time to have somebody verbally say that.

Road to the state championship: Maury's journey to a second VHSL Class 5 title game in 3 years
By Greg Giesen

Thank you for supporting our journalism. This article is available exclusively for our subscribers, who help fund our work at The Virginian-Pilot.
Maury's Saquan Miles, pictured running against Green Run in a Class 5 state semifinal, played a big role in guiding the Commodores to the state title game. (Mike Caudill/The Virginian-Pilot)
The Maury High School football team will play for its second state championship in three years at 4:30 p.m. Saturday when the Commodores face Stone Bridge at S.B. Ballard Stadium on the campus of Old Dominion University.
Here's a look at how they got there:
New Bern (N.C.) 29, Maury 27
The Commodores opened the season with their only loss of the year against New Bern. It was a back-and-forth contest.
Maury 63, Granby 0
The Commodores broke into the win column with an easy victory over Granby. The victory put the Commodores at 1-1 heading into their rivalry game against Lake Taylor.
Maury 48, Lake Taylor 12
Maury senior quarterback Saquan Miles threw for two touchdowns, ran for two touchdowns and even caught a touchdown pass to lead the No. 4 Commodores past No. 8 Lake Taylor.
Maury 48, Churchland 13
After a game against Norcom was postponed, Maury found the end zone on seven of its nine possessions in a dominant offensive performance at Churchland.
Peyton Jones finished with eight carries for 145 yards and a touchdown to lead the No. 4 Commodores in a win over the No. 11 Truckers.
Maury 47, Booker T. Washington 0
Playing in just their second game in five weeks, the No. 4 Commodores blanked Booker T. Washington at Powhatan Field to improve to 4-1 overall and 4-0 in the Eastern District.
Miles dominated with five total touchdowns. He completed 14 of 17 passes for 320 yards and four scores, including two to Ahmarian Granger.
Maury 40, Norview 6
Maury finished off the regular season with an easy victory over Norview and a 5-1 record (5-0 in the Eastern District).
Class 5 Region B semifinals: Maury 42, Menchville 17
Maury ran its winning streak to six with another blowout victory — 42-17 over Menchville in a Class 5 Region B semifinal.
The Commodores raced to a 36-0 halftime lead and held a sixth consecutive opponent to three or fewer touchdowns.
Class 5 Region B championship: Maury 42, Woodside 0
Dyrri McCain couldn't have asked for a better birthday present.
Maury's head coach celebrated the day in style as the Commodores picked up a fourth consecutive region title in dominating fashion with a victory over Woodside in the Class 5 Region B championship game at Powhatan Field.
"It feels great," McCain said. "To win three in the spring with everything going on, and then to do four with everything we had to deal with, not having games (this fall). Guys are staying sharp. It's just a testament to the guys that I have and the coaches who focus on getting it done."
Miles and Peyton Jones ran for a pair of touchdowns apiece for Maury.
Class 5 state semifinal: Maury 35, Green Run 7
For four consecutive seasons, Maury has advanced to the state tournament.

So, when the Commodores got behind Green Run early in the first half, there was no panic.
Instead, the Commodores responded with 35 unanswered points to beat the Stallions in front of a sold-out, standing-room-only crowd of more than 4,000 fans. The Commodores will face Stone Bridge (14-0) of Loudoun County in Saturday's Class 5 state title game at Old Dominion University.
"I have to give credit to the players and coaches," said McCain, who led the Commodores to the state title in 2019. "It's all about experience. These guys have been here before. They have seen it before. And in the second half, we took it."

Donor/acceptor charge-transfer states at two-dimensional metal halide perovskite and organic semiconductor interfaces
Lianfeng Zhao, Yunhui L. Lin, Hoyeon Kim, Noel C. Giebink, Barry P. Rand
Andlinger Center for Energy & the Environment
Metal halide perovskite semiconductors with small exciton binding energy have been widely used in perovskite solar cells and achieved rapid progress in terms of device performance. However, the strong excitonic nature of two-dimensional (2D) perovskites with small n values remains underexploited (n represents the number of inorganic monolayer sheets sandwiched between bulky organic cation layers). In this work, we report experimental evidence of donor/acceptor charge-Transfer (CT) states formed at 2D metal halide perovskite/organic semiconductor heterojunctions, with a corresponding increase in photocurrent production for these excitonic materials. Furthermore, it is found that the size of the organic cation in the 2D perovskite layer plays a critical role in the CT process. The ability to dissociate excitons in 2D perovskites by interfacing with an organic semiconductor in a donor/acceptor configuration opens up new opportunities for exploiting the excitonic nature of low-dimensional perovskites in applications such as solar cells, photodetectors, light-emitting devices, and light-matter interactions.

Savvy mom leveraged 529 savings plans to give her son a debt-free college education
When Ben DiFilippi graduates from college next month, he's going to be debt-free.
With merit scholarships and the college savings his parents stashed away in 529 plans, DiFilippi and his family have been able to cover the entire price tag for his undergraduate education at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts.
"We're going to be celebrating both his academic achievement and our achievement as a family in preparing for the cost of it," said his mother, Patricia Roberts.
Ben and Patricia Roberts
Patricia Roberts
Many financial advisors recommend a 529 plan as a way to earmark a savings account specifically for education costs. Yet a new survey shows nearly two-thirds of Americans cannot correctly identify a 529 plan as an education savings tool — and only one-fifth of U.S. parents report they have saved, or are planning to save, for their children's education — or their own — using a 529 plan.
As total student loan debt in the U.S. has surpassed $1.7 trillion and the average cost of attending a private college jumped to $37,650 for the 2020-21 school year, there seems to be a disconnect for many parents between the cost of higher education and how to pay for it, experts say.
"Some people are reaching the end of their lives still not sure how to pay [student loan debt] back, and … many people are unfamiliar with one of the most effective ways to save," said Roberts, author of "Route 529: A Parent's Guide to Saving for College and Career Training with 529 Plans."
With a 529 savings plan, earnings grow on a tax-advantaged basis, and when you withdraw the money, it is tax-free if the funds are used for qualified education expenses such as tuition, fees, books and room and board. Plus, you often will get a state tax deduction or credit for contributions.
Those aren't the only reasons many parents find a 529 plan a good way to save for college. Reducing the amount of money students will have to borrow to pay for college is a big consideration.
Figure out your reason for saving before you begin putting money away, Roberts said. "Start with your 'why,'" she said. "We started with our desire to have a better outcome for our son than we had.
"We borrowed over $100,000 for our undergraduate and law school degrees, and it took us more than 20 years to pay that back."
Roberts and her husband, Anthony DiFilippi, started funding a 529 plan for Ben — now 21 — when he was a baby. "We knew firsthand what it felt like to be having to pay back that money," she said. "We really felt so strongly that we did not want the same experience to be what our son encountered."
How did they crack the code to be able to save regularly?
As soon as Roberts returned from maternity leave to her job at a financial services company, the couple started making regular contributions to a 529 account with each paycheck "We adjusted our lifestyle," said Roberts, who has driven the same car for over 20 years. "As a family, we looked at our expenses, and we realized how much we could save had an awful lot to do with what we were spending.
A lot of people are not aware that 529 plans can not only be used for college expenses, but also private school.
Lazetta BraxtonCO-FOUNDER OF 2050 WEALTH PARTNERS
Many families may now be making the same calculations. Contributions to 529 plans have risen more than 11% in the past year to about $11 billion, according to researcher Paul Curley at ISS Market Intelligence. With stock market gains, overall 529 plan assets surged nearly 35% to more than $412 billion from the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2021.
In 2021, an individual can contribute up to $15,000 per beneficiary to a 529 plan without paying gift taxes. Every dollar helps. Curley said saving $100 a month over 18 years can result in a balance of over $31,000.
Enhancements to 529 plans — including expansion of covered educational expenses — "are helping more and more families to save and save efficiently for the long-term goal of education through this short-term volatility during the pandemic," Curley said.
New York-based certified financial planner Lazetta Braxton, co-founder of 2050 Wealth Partners, agrees. "During the pandemic, we couldn't travel, couldn't eat out a lot," she said. "That's a lot of savings that can be redeployed to goals, and education often comes to the forefront."
While building education savings as early as possible is important, it is also wise to plan for how to spend those funds, Braxton said. "A lot of people are not aware that 529 plans can not only be used for college expenses, but also private school.
In addition to graduate studies, apprenticeships, career and technical schools, up to $10,000 a year of 529 plan funds can be used for K-12 private school education. Also, as much as $10,000 — that's the lifetime limit — can be used to pay off qualified student loans.
Many families will have to use a mix of income, savings, grants and scholarships as well as loans to pay for college. To get a head start in figuring out what the mix will look like for your child, financial advisors say to start with a budget that includes what the total college bill will likely be for four years as well as all of the resources you have to cover that cost.
Several online college savings calculators — including those on the SavingforCollege, T. Rowe Price and Vanguard websites — can help you figure out what your shortfall may be and how much you would need to save — or borrow — to bridge that gap.
In the end, saving in a 529 plan to cover as much of the cost as possible is the ultimate goal.
"Ben is graduating with $0 in debt," Roberts said. And she hasn't stopped putting money away in a 529 plan. "I still contribute — we know graduate school is around the corner."

Return to growth despite limited international trade
After a year marked by a severe recession amid a global pandemic, the Singaporean economy will return to growth in 2021. Despite a remarkably positive health record - at the end of November 2020, Singapore had the world's lowest ratio of deaths to total population - the country recorded a substantial fall in activity in 2020 linked to the contraction in world trade and the lockdown that went from early April to early June. As the quintessential small open economy, Singapore is highly sensitive to the world economic cycle and international trade developments, with imports and exports representing 150% and 160% of GDP respectively. While the country's health situation was under control at the end of 2020, pointing to a strong rebound in domestic activity, any expansion will be curbed by the deteriorating international economic situation due to the economic repercussions of the ongoing pandemic elsewhere in the world - particularly in North America and Europe for at least the first part of the year - and by uncertainties linked to the U.S.-China trade war. The manufacturing industry, especially machinery and electronics, which account for almost half of all exported goods, will be particularly affected by this environment. Conversely, the financial sector, which is the main source of the services surplus (USD 22 billion in 2019), and the pharmaceutical industry will continue to grow briskly, after acting as a shock absorber in 2020. However, private investment, which plays a particularly large role compared with the situation in other developed countries (23.4% of GDP in 2019), will remain hampered by economic and health uncertainty. Buoyed by a decline in the unemployment rate, which hit a 16-year high of 3.6% in the third quarter of 2020, private consumption, which represents only 34% of GDP, should rebound vigorously, despite consumers being tempted to set aside precautionary savings in the face of the uncertain health situation. In this setting, and in the absence of inflationary pressures, the central bank should maintain an accommodative monetary policy in 2021, after easing policy in March 2020.
Public finances temporarily in deficit to support activity
As announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, the economic and health situation will force the government to post a public deficit in 2021, for the second consecutive year, in order to support the economy under a countercyclical approach. However, the deficit will be significantly lower than in 2020, when several successive stimulus plans were announced (direct benefits for households and the self-employed, partial unemployment scheme, aid to companies, moratorium on loan repayments), worth a total USD 70 billion (20% of GDP). Until that point, the only time over the previous three decades when public accounts had been in deficit was during the 2009 financial crisis. The government can therefore easily finance the deficit by drawing on the substantial fiscal reserves accumulated over the period – while the exact amount is secret, they were estimated at 300% of GDP before the pandemic. Although seemingly high, the public debt is actually mainly made up of long-term bonds and securities issued to develop local markets and provide a risk-free savings option for individuals, and of non-marketable bonds issued for the Central Provident Fund (CPF), a system of compulsory contributions to finance social protection. Constitutionally ring-fenced from the financing of government expenditure, the public debt is exclusively denominated in local currency and held by residents. At the same time, the country will continue to post a substantial current account surplus, thanks to a trade surplus exceeding 20% of GDP. Driven over the past two decades by vigorous demand for electronic components and consumer electronics, foreign trade is now facing protectionist headwinds and, more importantly, a maturing technology cycle, over and above the pandemic-related slowdown in world trade. As the country is easily a net recipient of FDI, the income balance is in deficit. Despite these FDI inflows, the financial account reflects significant net capital outflows (about 10% of GDP), mainly due to portfolio investment abroad.
Political stability despite breakthrough results for the opposition
Although it won 83 seats out of 95, the People's Action Party (PAP), which has ruled the country since independence in 1965, emerged relatively weakened from the July 2020 legislative elections, where it won 61% of the vote, down from 70% in 2015. These elections brought breakthrough results for the opposition parties, with the Workers' Party (WP) winning ten seats, up from six in 2015, and the Progress Singapore Party, created a year earlier, entering parliament with two (non-constituent) seats. While he initially promised that he would relinquish power before turning 70 in February 2022, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, son of founding statesman Lee Kwan Yew, ultimately said that he would not step down until the economic and health crisis was fully resolved. The business environment is a global benchmark: political stability, an apparent absence of corruption and a reliable legal framework put the country second in the World Bank's Doing Business ranking.
Cheques, cash and bank transfers are all frequently-used means of payment within Singapore. Bank transfers, fast and secure, are widely used for international transactions. Standby Letters of Credits and Irrevocable Letters of Credit are often used in export transactions.
Amicable phase
The amicable phase begins with the seller contacting buyers in writing, by telephone and, where permissible, by visiting the buyer's business premises. If there is no response from the buyer, a site visit and online searches are conducted to ascertain the operating and legal status of the buyer. If the buyer does not make attempts to settle the matter amicably, legal proceedings can be used to recover payments for goods sold and delivered in Singapore. It is, however, prudent to ensure that the buyer has sufficient assets to satisfy the debt before proceedings are initiated.
Singapore is a common law jurisdiction. Its laws are principally governed by Supreme Court of Judicature Acts, State Court Acts, other statutes which have procedural application (or contain procedural provisions), the Rules of Court, practice directions, case law and the court's inherent powers.
Singapore's courts comprise State (Subordinate) Courts and the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is composed of the High Court and the Court of Appeal (the final appellate court). The High Court is a court of first instance, generally used for claims beyond the jurisdiction of the State Courts (although the High Court is a court of unlimited jurisdiction and may hear any claim).
If a defendant fails to enter an appearance or fails to file a defence within the time specified in the writ, the plaintiff may enter default judgment against him. This can be a final judgment or an interlocutory judgment, depending on the nature of the claim.
If the defendant has entered an appearance and filed a defence, but it is clear that the defendant has no real defence to the claim, the plaintiff can apply to court for summary judgment. To avoid summary judgment being entered, the defendant must show that the dispute concerns a triable issue, or that there is some other reason for trial. An application for summary judgment must be filed within 28 days of pleadings being concluded (unless the court orders otherwise).
Enforcement of a Legal Decision
Writs of Execution
A judgment can be enforced by a variety of writs of execution. These include a Writ of Seizure and Sale of movable and immovable property, a Writ of Delivery and a Writ of Distress. These writs authorise court officials to take appropriate measures to give effect to the judgment.
Garnishee Proceedings
This can be an appropriate solution when the debtor is owed a debt by a third party (the garnishee). When the creditor garnishes the debt, the garnishee must then make payments due to him, rather than to the debtor. To collect these debts, the creditor must first apply for a garnishee order nisi. This can be filed without the involvement of other parties and leads to "show cause" proceedings. If the garnishee confirms that there are monies due and owing to the judgment debtor at this stage, the Registrar may proceed to make the garnishee nisi absolute.
Registration of Judgment
If the creditor is not able to enforce his judgment in Singapore, he may be able to enforce it in a country where the debtor holds assets. This can be done by commencing fresh proceedings, or by registering the Singapore judgment in the foreign country (on the basis of reciprocity of enforcement between the two countries).
Insolvency Proceedings
Schemes of arrangement begin with an application to court, for an order summoning one or more meetings of the creditors, members of the company, or shareholders of the company. If the court agrees to the order, a proposal must then be tabled before the relevant meetings and approved by the requisite majority (unless the court orders otherwise) of the creditors, class of creditors, members or class of members, shareholders, or class of shareholders.
Judicial Management
When a company is in financial difficulty but has reasonable prospects of being rehabilitated, or if preserving all or part of its business as a going concern (or even that the interests of creditors would be better served than by resorting to a winding up), the company or its creditors can apply to court for an order that the company be placed under the judicial management of a judicial manager.
If an insolvent company is unable to overcome its difficulties, it can be dissolved. This enables the liquidation of its assets, so that creditors can be repaid, at least in part. This process is known as winding up or liquidation. A healthy company can also be subject to winding up if its members no longer wish the business to continue. When a company is wound up, its assets or proceeds are first used to pay off any creditors. Following this, any balance remaining is distributed pro rata amongst shareholders.

Right to Know and Other Legal Disclosures
Release of Education Records
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) states that no personally identifiable information from a student's education record will be disclosed to any third party without written consent from the student. Several exceptions exist, including these selected examples: (1) Information defined by SMU as directory information may be released unless the student sends a written request to the registrar that it be withheld; (2) Information authorized by a student through my.SMU Self-Service; and (3) information may be released to a parent or guardian if the student is declared financially dependent upon the parent or guardian as set forth in the Internal Revenue Code.
SMU understands that many undergraduate students want to allow their parents access to all or some of their education records. Students have the ability to provide their consent for access to their records by using the Release of Education Records feature from the Student Dashboard in my.SMU. Once release authorization is granted, some records are available online through the parents own confidential access to my.SMU. Other records are available by contacting the office holding the records.
Instruction for using the Release of Education Records feature of my.SMU
Students wishing to grant access to specified third parties like current or potential employers, other educational institutions, credit card companies, scholarship committees, insurance companies (health, auto, life, etc.) and other similar third-parties, will need to submit the "Student's Consent for SMU to Release Information to Student's Specified Third Party" form to the University Registrar's office. A valid picture ID is required for identification. A separate release form must be filled for each individual request.
Students requesting letters of recommendation or professional references, must provide faculty with written authorization (see Sample Permission Letter), if personally identifiable information obtained from the students' education records is included in the letters of recommendation (grades, GPA, etc.).
SMU understands that many undergraduate students want to allow their parents access to all or some of their education records. Students now have the ability to provide their consent for access to their records by using the Release of Education Records feature under the Profile tile in my.SMU, SMU's student information system.
Parents are encouraged to discuss this feature with their student to establish the authorization for them to view and receive information from the student's education records. Once release authorization is granted some records are available on-line through the parents own confidential access to my.SMU. Other records are available by contacting the office holding the records.
FERPA also permits, but does not require, SMU to disclose to parents of a student information contained in the education records of the student if the student is a dependent as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. The parent must complete a Declaration of Student Dependency form along with a written request for the records. Since a separate release form must be filled for each individual request, we highly recommend that parents gain access through my.SMU to allow parents repeated access to all or parts of a student's education record.
Use my.SMU to verify the student's authorization to release education records information to any third-party.

Usually one of the most boring places on earth is your local DMV line. Unless your a zit covered teen getting your drivers license, the reason your in that line is not so great. However, there is one DMV on this planet that is guaranteed to be way more entertaining, that is the "Department Of Mutant Vehicles" at Burning Man. The process of getting your art car approved to drive the dusty playa may actually take longer than renewing your normal drivers license, but at least the atmosphere around you isn't so morbid.
