The College develops in its students qualities of mind and character needed for fulfilling lives of leadership and service.
On the cover: Students study eco-tourism through BreakAway to Arches and Canyonlands National ParksThrough generous funding provided in support of the Illinois College BreakAway program, a group of seven students participated in a recent trip to Moab, Utah, with faculty members T.J. Devine, visiting instructor in economics, accounting and finance; and Kevin Klein, professor of economics, to learn about the economic effects of eco-tourism in that region of the United States. Each participating student received $750 in BreakAway subsidy to apply toward the cost of the trip. “The purpose of the trip was to learn about the economics of eco-tourism. We really wanted to visit a place to learn about the environment and how the local economy uses tourism as a major industry,” said Devine. “Moab had a large uranium deposit, and the town grew significantly after discovering the mine. When the uranium market burst, the town transitioned to tourism relying heavily on two national parks close by, Arches and Canyonlands. We spent time in both parks learning about the geologic process that formed the area. It was a really interesting and fun trip. I think the students learned a lot.”BreakAway destinations for the 2013-2014 academic year are:• Cuba (Winter Break 2013-2014) • New York City (May 2014)• Japan (May 2014) • France (May-June 2014)For additional information, please visit http://www.ic.edu/BreakAwaysPhoto: Front row (l to r): Jake Lord ’13, Korrie Edwards ’15 and Kevin Klein.

As the new president of Illinois College, one of my happiest tasks is to prepare this annual report where I can thank all the alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends who have invested in IC this past fiscal year. With your commitment, you bring to life the theme of my Inauguration on September 21, “Inspiring Achievement.” This report celebrates all of you. The IC Fund is a vital source of support for the College. When you contribute to this fund, you are investing in student scholarships, academic programs and co-curricular activities. We are especially grateful for every donor who accepted the “Bruner Challenge,” a generous matching gift opportunity provided by Jim Bruner ’66. As a result of the Bruner Challenge, contributions to the IC Fund grew by more than $200,000 over the previous year. Additionally, alumni giving increased to 26 percent. Our goals for fiscal year 2013-2014 are to raise $635,000 for the IC Fund and increase alumni participation even more. Donors who include a gift to Illinois College in their will or estate plan are named as members of the Julian Monson Sturtevant Society. These contributors are choosing to leave a lasting legacy to IC, one that will inspire achievement in future students. In the coming year, we commit to increasing the number of these visionary gift commitments in accordance with each Sturtevant Society member’s philanthropic goals.We have much to celebrate on the Hilltop. On behalf of the entire Illinois College community, I offer our deep appreciation for your generous support this past year. Your gift demonstrates your commitment to be a steward of Illinois College’s future. Sincerely,
Barbara A. Farley, Ph.D. President

Bequests
Illinois College was humbled to be in receipt of estate gifts during the past year. Each gift, varied in amount and purpose, carries on the donor’s legacy after their lifetime by impacting the lives of IC students. Planned and estate gifts received during the fiscal year totaled $1,201,028.61. Additional distributions from many of these estates were counted toward past years or will be received in the future.
Donald D. Deatherage ’61 – Support for the IC Fund Donald was a former Blueboy football player with a long history of supporting capital projects and academic programming at Illinois College. Gifts from his estate totaled more than $33,000, with a final distribution of $312.29 to the IC Fund received in May of 2013. Through the IC Fund, Donald’s gifts will continue to provide students with enhanced experiences and new opportunities. Walter H. Greenholt ’41 – Support for the General Endowment Walter, an alumnus of Gamma Nu literary society, served Illinois College as a member of the Board of Trustees and as trustee emeritus. He was awarded an Honorary Degree in 1991, 50 years after receiving his bachelor’s degree at IC. A gift of $34,795.70 through his estate will provide support for the general endowment fund, benefiting initiatives such as scholarships, building renovations and academic programming. Claire Heckmann ’64 – Support for Chi Beta Literary Society and the General Endowment As a student, Claire enjoyed meaningful experiences as a member of Chi Beta Literary Society. So it was fitting that she provided a gift of $10,000 through her estate to ensure the vitality of her literary society to the benefit of future women. An additional gift of $141,000 will provide support for the general endowment fund, perpetuating Claire’s commitment to supporting all aspects of the IC experience. Lois W. Sears ’52 – Support for the General Endowment Lois was a proud alumna who generously invested in the College’s mission throughout her lifetime. By including IC in her estate plans for a gift of $10,000, she made a commitment to the future of the Hilltop. This gift will allow IC to invest in its students, faculty and campus in meaningful ways through the general endowment fund. J. Merle ’51 and Ruth Kilton Wade ’39 – Support for the J. Merle & Ruth Kilton Wade Endowed Scholarship Merle and Ruth Wade established a scholarship for students from Pike, Morgan and Christian Counties. Since 1987, their scholarship has assisted many IC students, several of whom they had the opportunity to meet over the years. In their estate plans, Merle and Ruth included a provision to grow the scholarship fund through the sale of farm land, resulting in a gift of $1,004,920.62. Long after their lifetime, this scholarship bearing Merle and Ruth’s names will continue to help make an IC education more accessible for students from these communities.

Bruner Challenge
Nearly 18 months ago, Jim Bruner ’66 committed to matching IC Fund gifts ranging from $25 to $1,000 during the 2012-2013 fiscal year. The Bruner Challenge successfully galvanized support and interest in the IC Fund which supports each and every student, faculty and staff member on the Hilltop and has an immediate impact on the Illinois College community. The total amount raised was $87,970 in matching funds. Success. “My hope for the campaign was to get more individuals to participate in giving to the College,” said Bruner. “I believe that early participation in giving matters. My giving started early during the tenure of Presidents Mundinger and Caine.” Of the 1,840 alumni who responded to the Challenge, 302 were young alumni. Philanthropic studies of young alumni giving and participation show that 80 percent of alumni who have made a $1 million-plus gift to their alma mater made their first gift within four years of graduation. To engage 302 young alumni donors through the Bruner Challenge is a remarkable feat, and the impact of these gifts will continue to affect the College for years to come.
Fostering the desire to learnIn a recent conversation Bruner shared how he truly believes the professors at Illinois College are instrumental to the student experience and can certainly influence a student’s desire to learn. He fondly remembered Drs. Chien and Horton, whom he had each for accounting and math; Dr. Filson for chemistry; and he made special mention of Malcolm Stewart. “What I remember is the one-on-one with the different professors. They all made a difference in my learning.” Bruner made special note of coaches Joe Brooks and Bill Merris. “These two great, great coaches were top-of-the-line to me. Each demonstrated to young people what life is all about and were their own best examples of how to live life. They too, made a difference in my time at Illinois College.” No one could argue that these influences impacted Bruner’s successful career, and, certainly gives credence to his financial support of Illinois College.
Lasting impact of the Bruner ChallengeIn addition to raising awareness of student achievement and positive outcomes supported by the IC Fund, the Bruner Challenge increased the percentage of alumni giving to the College. Alumni giving is important for two reasons: alumni giving percentages are a key criterion used by U.S. News and World Report in its college ranking system, not to mention the many highly regarded foundations that pay close attention to an institution’s alumni financial support; and alumni past giving is an important indicator for future, more significant gifts. Bruner understands both. “I recognize the implications of alumni giving on the national rankings and the importance of future giving, and firmly believe in supporting the College.”
Bruner is no stranger to raising awareness … and fundsFormer Chair of the Board Reed Parker and Bruner co-chaired the Expectation & Fulfillment Campaign that had a goal of $30 million, yet successfully raised $42 million from 1997-2002. Bruner recalls, “This campaign was one of the most wonderful things I’ve ever been involved in. We met with people that just wanted to give; it was a matter of going out and talking to people. Our goal was to build an athletic center and a science building. We accomplished our goal. It was a great experience.”
The next stepAt Illinois College, donors to the IC Fund make all the difference. Gifts to the annual fund provide the College with current use operating support all across the Hilltop. The next step? The next challenge? Increasing the number of donors to the IC Fund is important. It’s important to IC students, alumni, parents, faculty and the friends of the College. Take the next step. Make it a bold step. “It has to be done,” concludes Bruner.
Editor’s note: Jim Bruner serves as chief executive officer and president of United Contractors Midwest Inc. Bruner graduated from Illinois College in 1966. In 1999 he received the Alumni Distinguished Service Award. In May 2012 Bruner retired as trustee emeritus after serving 20 years as a member of the Illinois College Board of Trustees. That same month he was conferred with an honorary doctorate of humane letters.
The Bruner Challenge: Everyone Wins
Bruner accepts an appreciation gift from President Farley on behalf of the Illinois College community. A framed IC pennant was individually signed by faculty and staff in thanks of his continued financial support with the Bruner Challenge.
Bruner Challenge Highlights The Bruner Challenge raised a total of $87,970
in matching funds. This challenge elicited a strong response from every facet of the College’s donor database:
• 1,840 total alumni gave, of which 302 were young alumni • 195 lapsed donors came back as contributors • 137 alumni made their first gift to the College• 207 parents contributed
Why the IC Fund? These unrestricted gifts enable
the College to utilize funds for recurring needs –

Giving makes Concert Choir tour possibleThe Illinois College Concert Choir embarked on a seven-day tour in early January 2013 with performances in Illinois, Texas, Arkansas and Missouri. The tour was funded in part by the Robert and Eula Langer Endowment Fund as well as gifts from Kathleen Fitzgerald Kocourek ’84, Drs. Timothy Kramer and Lisa Udel, and Dr. and Mrs. Axel Steuer.Overall, the choir performed in five churches and two high schools, and they took in several local attractions including a visit to the JFK Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas and a performance by the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra. But maybe the most impressive opportunity afforded the students was the chance to serve as ambassadors of Illinois College, not only through their music, but through their interactions with host families and individuals they met along the way. “During the tour we performed for over 200 high school students, first in Jerseyville, Ill., and then in Hillsboro, Texas. It was a really neat experience for us to talk with the students and tell them about Illinois College,” says Abby Musgrove, assistant professor of music. “Four of our nights we stayed with host families, which gave our students a different perspective, and again, gave us the opportunity to serve as good representatives of the College. Now when they hear about or consider Illinois College, they will have already had a positive experience.”

Cecil “C.V.” Cook ’68 is pictured with his wife, Miriam, daughter Danielle and son David. A native of Kentucky, C.V. came to Illinois College by way of his father who was hired as a College consultant and played a role in creating the Founders’ Circle giving club, of which C.V. is a new member. C.V. spent much of his career with the U.S. government and resides in Gunpowder, Maryland.
The Art of FriendshipIn a recent conversation, Julie Surratt Wilkinson ’05, an IC development director, asked why I remembered IC with a gift after so many years. The truth is, I never forgot IC. It has always been a part of my identity. It was at IC that I began to learn the art of friendship … and sainthood. When I was a sophomore, David White ’70 painted my portrait as an icon. It was kind of a joke, but -- joke or not -- I felt deeply flattered that someone would take the time to paint my picture. Being thought of as a saint was something that set IC apart in my mind from other places. At IC, anything was possible – even sainthood. It was and is something to aspire to. Even though we never reach it, we never stop trying. Back in my early college days, IC was a place to stretch out a little with new people and new ideas, and paint the way to a new identity. Bill Blessman ’68, Rich Macher ’68, Bill Pittman ’68, Charlie Sangerman ’66, David White, Donna Bowman Schrupp ’68, Judy Fernandes ’68, Jim Theodorow ’68, Bill Daughton ’67, Bob Marshall ’68 and Julia Campbell Putes ’67 – the list could go on. I remember them all as good people and good friends. At a school like IC, you could know people and grow as a person. Even the custodian, Julius Mummly, we considered to be a friend. Some of the best advice came from Julius. I wish I had listened. When I gave to IC, I had just finished putting my two kids through college. I guess I missed the pain of giving up something for the next generation. So I decided to take a chance on IC. For me, it’s more fun to give while you live. It connects you to what’s happening now. In reality, my gift wasn’t that large. Others give more; I’m glad they do. It takes money to run a college and money to go to college.Currently, I’m designing a program to track work projects. It’s just me, the English major, and the commander, a history major, with the ideas. I have to think our liberal arts backgrounds have something to do with that.You know, I’ve been married for 28 years, have a son, a daughter and a Jack Russell terrier. What more is there?

Invested in SuccessWhen I was asked to contribute to this publication to explain what caused me to make my first contribution to Illinois College, my initial reaction was simple: “Because Susie called and asked me to give.”
Susie Engelbrecht has worked for IC for years in the Office of Development and Alumni Relations. More importantly, she is the mother of one of my closest friends at IC, Seth Engelbrecht ’99. Susie was like a mother to a lot of us living away from home for the first time. This preliminary thought led to a greater examination of why I had accepted her invitation to give to the IC Fund. Illinois College contributed significantly to making me who I am today.
My parents, Luana Meinders Flynn ’71 and Jerry Flynn ’70, met on campus. So, I simply wouldn’t be here without Illinois College. Secondly, the small campus and engaged faculty helped my very immature undergraduate self navigate the academic world. I am forever grateful to faculty members like Dr. Jim Davis and Dr. Karen Dean for the subtle, and sometimes not-so-subtle, reminders that I had perhaps missed an assignment or (gasp!) even a class or two. They were invested in my success as a student.
While there are several reasons that my IC education was beneficial to me, none are probably as important as the tools and confidence I gained as a member of Pi Pi Rho Literary Society. I understand that literary societies have had their struggles in recent years, like most Greek institutions. During my time at IC, Pi Pi Rho was the definition of a literary society. Its membership was diverse, and while we had a good time, we won the Dean’s Cup for our academic excellence and the Emory Whipple Award for our literary performance every year I was on campus. Most importantly, my involvement in Pi Pi Rho gave me the confidence to speak publicly. This skill cannot be overvalued.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve become a bit introspective. While I marvel at how younger professionals excel at social media and are able to communicate facelessly, this does not negate the importance of the basic tools to succeed in what remains to be a face-to-face world. While there are many places that offer a well-rounded liberal arts education, Illinois College provided the unique skills that enable me to succeed every day. For that, I remain grateful, and I am pleased to contribute to its future.

A History of Giving BackFrom the time I stepped on campus almost four full years ago I knew that Illinois College had a rich history of giving back. Take a walk around campus, and you will see how many alumni and friends of the College have made donations. Buildings, classrooms, technology, trees and many other items that are used on a daily basis by everyone on campus have been given by our wonderful donors and their families. I saw three classes before me give back through their senior class gifts, so rooted in tradition, I felt that it was my turn to finally make my mark. Giving back to a school that has given so much to me over the last four years just seemed right. Without the gifts to the IC Fund, much of what I was involved with during my time on the Hilltop would not have been possible. I probably would not have been able to take four Spring Break trips with my softball teammates; the Student Alumni Association, one club I was very involved in, would not have had the funds to bring numerous events to campus for the students; and my wonderful professors would not have had all of the technology and resources available to be able to give the students of IC the best education possible. There were many things that prompted me to give back to the school that had showed me learning extends outside the classroom and taught me so many different lessons, but the biggest one was knowing that in one little way, I could help one student involved in a club, organization, sports team or in the classroom. No, I may not ever be able to have a building named after me, but that isn’t what giving back is all about. Giving back is all the little pieces coming together to make one big vision possible. Illinois College means something different to every alumnus. For me, it was a time of learning, growing and exploring. IC not only gave me the opportunity to play softball, but also to grow as a person both emotionally and academically. Illinois College taught me that it’s O.K. to think out of the box and that it’s O.K. to ask questions. It means that when I walked across the stage at graduation, I was fully prepared for what the real world had in store for me and that I could, in my own way, make a difference. IC has given me some of my best memories and friends that I will forever cherish. So the next time you receive a phone call from IC asking you to give back, stop and think about what the wonderful donors before you did, and how it impacted your time on the Hilltop. Without all those who gave back before us, the opportunities we have now would have never been possible. IC is truly a special place, and it seems to have a special place in all of our hearts.

Members of the campus community significantly impact the lives of Illinois College students, often in unquantifiable ways. Many faculty and staff members (including emeriti and retired) invested in IC students with a gift to the IC Fund and other areas of campus this past fiscal year.
A Place for Transformations
Like many faculty members, I spend many of my waking hours supporting IC through the work I do both inside
and outside of the classroom. Supporting the College financially just made sense because it allows me to direct some funds to
the things I care about most – our students and our academic programs. To me, IC is a place for transformations. It is the place where young people
come to find out who they are and to discover what they believe. It is a place where minds are broadened, values are explored and relationships
are forged. It is also the place where I get to teach students by encouraging them to ask questions, exposing them to new ways of learning and guiding
them as they engage with the world.

Making the Most of OpportunitiesOfuma Eze-Echesi ’14 was able to come to the United States and attend Illinois College due in large part to the financial support that is available through scholarships and other donations made to the College. Since given this opportunity, Eze-Echesi has excelled in all aspects of college life from the moment she stepped foot on campus from her hometown of Lagos, Nigeria.The accounting and finance major has earned the Rammelkamp Scholarship for getting a 4.0 grade point average for two semesters in a row and was named to the Dean’s List every semester. Eze-Echesi has been treasurer of two campus organizations, Coalition for Ethnic Awareness and the Newman Club. “I’ve also had the opportunity to work in various places on campus and travel for different track and field competitions,” Eze-Echesi says. Not only has Eze-Echesi excelled in the classroom, she has also made her mark in both indoor and outdoor track and field. She placed first in the 60-meter dash and third in the 200-meter dash at the 2012 Midwest Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships. She took second in the 100-meter dash and third in the 200-meter dash at the 2012 Midwest Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships. She was All-Conference this past year in both indoor and outdoor track and field, as well as Academic All-Conference in both. On top of all that, she holds the school record for the outdoor 400-meter dash at 59.20 seconds. “I’m extremely grateful to God and IC for all the support,” Eze-Echesi says. “I would not have made it this far or achieved all I have without the support. Like I keep saying, IC together with the wonderful people who make up the school community is a blessing to me. If I had a chance to go back in time to change things, I’d choose IC again.”

The Archives at Illinois College benefit from donor supportThe Davee Foundation has provided important support for Illinois College’s history and political science programs for the past eight years. Foundation grants totaling $70,000 have bolstered the permanent and digital resources available to students and faculty in Schewe Library, and have provided experiential learning opportunities for student historians in the Archives at Illinois College. The archival work accomplished with Davee Foundation funding paved the way in 2012 for the College to secure a $4,902 grant from the Illinois State Historical Records Advisory Board (ISHRAB). Academic Dean Elizabeth Tobin said, “Our history faculty are so creative! They are connecting students to the past and teaching them 21st century skills of problem-solving and communication. Our historians supervise several different projects by finding funding from several different sources. The Davee Foundation, ISHRAB, the Alice H. Engelbach Peace Studies Fund, the Student Faculty Research Fund and the Mary Ruth Mundinger Memorial Award funded the archival work of 14 student historians. The project also allowed us to purchase archival storage materials and to preserve and publish a collection of oral histories of significant figures in the history of Jacksonville and Illinois College.” History Professor Steve Hochstadt said, “This project advanced the collection in the Charles E. Frank Oral History Archive.” According to Hochstadt, interviews with many Jacksonville residents and Illinois College alumni and staff have also been printed, bound and placed in the College archives. These include interviews with David Brown ’68, Carol Rose Curtis ’72, Helen Patterson Hinde ’45, Bill Merris ’56, and Richard ’49 and Joyce Pratt. Many other interviews are being processed and transcribed. “Eventually, we hope to make all of these interviews available online, as both printed transcripts and audio files,” he added.History Professor Jenny Barker-Devine said, “Student historians have a richer and more meaningful understanding of history after working in the archives.” She highlighted Ryan Flynn’s ’14 grant-funded research on race relations in the region. “Ryan created a database of the Morgan County Ku Klux Klan Records from the 1920s. In addition to the information listed in the membership book currently stored in the archives, he used the U.S. Census and City Directories to gather information about 125 individuals. He is now plotting their homes on a map which will add new information about the geography of race in Jacksonville. The map will complement evidence we are gathering from interviews about race relations and previous research conducted by Matt Schneider ’13 and Bryant Suess ’12.” The student historians have uncovered some historical gems in their archival work. These include a trunk and a pipe belonging to the College’s first President Edward Beecher, four 19th century diaries of Illinois College students, scrapbooks, artifacts belonging to 19th century administrators, blueprints for campus buildings, a box of Confederate money and a ticket to President Andrew Johnson’s impeachment proceedings. The students have digitized a collection of 117 letters written by students, alumni and community members who served overseas during World War I. Some of these letters can be found on a preliminary website documenting the College’s role in World War I at sites.google.com/a/mail.ic.edu/icinworldwari. Barker-Devine said, “This website will continue to become more robust in preparation for the 2017 Centennial of American involvement in World War I.”The student historians also worked on archiving Department of Theatre records (circa 1900 to the present), the Charles Rammelkamp Papers and the David A. Smith Papers. Rammelkamp, one of the longest-serving Illinois College presidents and a historian in his own right, guided the College through a turbulent time in the early 20th century. Smith was a prominent citizen in Jacksonville during the 19th century.Student historians who participated in the project this year are Taylor Brien ’15 of Bettendorf, Iowa, Christopher Caldwell-Jacques ’13 of Jacksonville, Emily Donnan ’13 of Peoria, Taylor English ’13 of Kempton, Gabrielle Esparza ’15 of Geneseo, Ana Flores ’15 of Beardstown, Ryan Flynn ’14 of Jacksonville, Danielle Hillis ’13 of Poplar Grove, Kelly McCormick ’14 of Godfrey, Emily Phebus ’13 of Jacksonville, Morgan Rush ’15 of Jacksonville, Rachel Walther ’13 of St. Louis, Mo., Trevor Warner ’13 of Gays and Lacey Wilson ’14 of Algonquin.

As ItIC
I reported to football practice at Illinois College as an incoming freshman on a hot Tuesday afternoon in September of 1962. It was two weeks before the arrival of other freshmen and returning students. I had been living in a small, furnished studio apartment that summer while working at a travel agency. For the nine years prior, I lived in an orphanage. So I was on my own now. One might say that I had been “launched.” Yet, I was eager and optimistic about the future. I knew I wanted to attend a small college. My high school, Proviso East High School in Maywood, Ill., had 3,800 students, with nearly 800 in my graduating class. IC had 500 students. There were 38 players on the football team, along with two coaches (Joe Brooks and Bill Merris ’56), two trainers and an equipment manager. We became a close-knit group, with many of us still in close contact after more than 50 years. Little did I know that my trip to football practice would position me for a life journey of adventure, loss and accomplishment. I can now see connections with my experiences at IC and my later life events that were not remotely discernable to me as an impressionable teenager in 1962. IC offered a welcomed support system and learning environment along with small class sizes, a beautiful campus, academic challenges, and opportunities for growth and development. I remember Dr. Ethel Seybold, chair of the English department,
A Life’s Journey by Leonard J. Brink ’66
saying to our freshman class, “In the future, you will most likely only remember the most essential of the thousands of facts, data, dates and figures that you will have learned and assimilated from your experience at Illinois College. One of our primary goals is to help you learn how to utilize and associate those essential learning building blocks. However, our two other primary goals are to help you learn how to think and learn how to write!”One might say that she threw down an “achievement-focused academic gauntlet.” I was impressed and made a point to take as many of her courses as possible during my four years at IC. Dr. Seybold and the faculty kept their word. Virtually all of our exams were bluebooks, and we were required to write many papers, usually eight-10 pages or longer, which was a daunting accomplishment in an era without word processors or laptops. Original thinking and concepts were applauded. Yet, typographical, spelling and syntax errors were not tolerated and resulted in lower grades. I could not afford a typewriter, so I had to handwrite every paper. One had to have discipline (and some level of motivation) to read a 600-page Victorian novel each week and write a six-eight page critique by the following Monday.As I look back, that discipline was rewarded many times in my life and career. My experience at IC taught me to question and examine ideas, beliefs and presumed “life absolutes” with scrutiny and, more importantly, to be able to step out of the box to solve problems. I learned early that there are no experts, but there are individuals with special expertise. It is both wise and rewarding to associate one’s self with such individuals, to learn from them, and then pursue opportunities to contribute to the knowledge and experience of others.I proudly invest in IC’s mission, helping ensure that other students are afforded the same opportunities to grow, learn and flourish. My experience at IC has been a major life resource for me and, for that, I am thankful.
Editors note: In 2008 Leonard Brink retired as Owner/CEO of Sequest Technologies, a clinical record software company, and Sequest Consulting, a healthcare management consulting company. After his retirement, Brink wrote and produced “DMZ Patrol,” a documentary about his Vietnam military service, which included actual footage of his platoon. Brink’s second film, “Precious Mettle,” is a crime thriller featuring actors Paul Sorvino and Fiona Dourif and is anticipated for release in 2014.
