DeLand, Fla. - The 2012 MLB First Year Player Draft wrapped up on Wednesday with six Stetson Hatters and two incoming National Letter of Intent signees for Head Coach Pete Dunn's baseball program being selected in the final 25 rounds. Four of the picks were seniors with two headed to the same organization.
The Baltimore Orioles began Stetson's afternoon by taking junior catcher Sam Kimmel (West Palm Beach, Fla.) in the 18th round with the 552nd pick overall. Kimmel hit .327 with two doubles, a home run, 26 RBI and nine stolen bases in his first season with the Hatters after transferring from Indian River State College. He earned Second Team All-Atlantic Sun honors at catcher, playing in all 58 games with 57 starts and throwing out 16 attempted base-stealers. Prior to Stetson, the Cincinnati Reds picked Kimmel in the 35th round last June.
The Los Angeles Dodgers made senior right-handed pitcher Lindsey Caughel (Orlando, Fla.) their 23rd round pick. Caughel started 15 games in Stetson's weekend rotation, pitching to a 3.86 ERA with a 7-3 record and 80 strikeouts against just 18 walks in 88.2 innings. A 2011 Second Team All-Atlantic Sun and 2009 A-Sun All-Freshman Team honoree, he had previously drafted in the 35th round last June by the Orioles.
Senior pitchers Robbie Powell (Punta Gorda, Fla.) and Jake Boyd (West Palm Beach, Fla.) were drafted by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim after their final seasons with the Hatters. Powell, a First Team All-Atlantic Sun selection and Louisville Slugger Third Team All-American, tied the conference record with 18 saves in 2012 and finished with a 1-1 record, 2.05 ERA and 46 strikeouts in 44 innings across 30 games. He was picked in the 32nd round while Boyd, an All-Conference Academic Team pick who led all Stetson relievers with four victories, was taken by the Angels in the 38th round.
Senior third baseman Ben Carhart (Royal Palm Beach, Fla.) was drafted between Powell and Boyd by the Chicago Cubs in Round 35. Carhart led the Hatters with a .339 batting average, 17 doubles and 37 RBI while ranking second on the team with four home runs in 2012. He started all 58 games at third base and earned Second Team All-Atlantic Sun honors.
Junior right-handed pitcher Kurt Schluter (Jupiter, Fla.) was the final Hatter drafted this season as the Boston Red Sox selected him in the 39th round. The 2011 A-Sun Pitcher of the Year, Schluter won five games in 2012 and struck out 53 batters in 12 starts and one relief appearance. He was one of four Stetson players to earn All-Conference Academic laurels along with Boyd, Mitchel Brennan and Will Dorsey.
Along with the current players, two incoming National Letter of Intent signees were selected Wednesday as well. The Milwaukee Brewers tabbed third baseman Carlos Garmendia from Opa-Locka, Florida's Monsignor Edward Pace High School in the 19th round while the San Francisco Giants drafted North Broward (Fla.) Prep infielder Kevin Fagan in the 39th round three picks before Schluter went to Boston.
The total tally for Stetson in the 2012 MLB Draft was seven players and three signees as right-handed pitcher Tucker Donahue (Coral Springs, Fla.) and newcomer Alfredo Escalera were drafted Tuesday. Donahue went in the fourth round to the Toronto Blue Jays while the Kansas City Royals selected Escalera in the eighth round.

Museum of English Rural Life
The Museum was founded in 1951 by the University of Reading. It was the first specialist museum of farming and rural life to be established in England and so was able to acquire large collections of high quality material at a time when mechanisation was bringing great changes to the countryside. It also played an important pioneering part in the formulation of procedures for the processing, cataloguing and conservation of such material. Today, the Museum is active at a national and international level in all aspects of rural museums.
The entire collection of this museum is a Designated Collection of national importance.
Venue Type:
Museum, Library, Archive
The Museum of English Rural Life galleries and garden are closed until early 2016 for work on "Our Country Lives" HLF-funded redevelopment.

The entire collection of this museum is a Designated Collection of national importance.
The Museum of English Rural Life is dedicated to the spirit of the English countryside and its people. It was founded by the University of Reading in 1951 at a time when the motorised revolution was changing the face of farming and sweeping away implements and techniques that had evolved over many generations.
Today, the museum is a national centre for the history of food, farming and the countryside, and continues with the task of recording and interpreting rural change. It is both a public resource and an academic research centre, preserving Designated collections of national and international significance. These comprise, in addition to the object collections, a library of over 50,000 books, archives of business and organisational records, and extensive photographic collections.
The collections cover the broad range of material relating to farming, rural crafts and industries, and country life. The bulk of the items date from the period 1850 to 1950. Pre 1850 farm tools and equipment are rare in England. Post 1950, the sheer range and size of farm machinery are inhibitors given the level of exhibition and storage space that we have available. This is why so much emphasis has been placed on reflecting this period through the two dimensional collections - especially the photographs and technical literature.

The last few games, especially the game on the night of 1/29/13 WOW Cable cable subscribers have had video quality issues that range from "annoying" to "unwatchable" to just plain no signal at all.
Here's an example of the way WOW Cable subscribers experience Detroit Red Wings Hockey: https://www.facebook...200521990521174
Please understand WOW customers, you ARE alone in these issues. Folks on these forums have reported NO issues with Comcast, U-verse, and DirecTV. Only WOW Cable has these repeated outages affecting FSD and FSD+ and Red Wings' game coverage.
For those of you that are sick of missing hockey games and watching as the audio cuts in and out, there are a few things we can do:
1. Report these unresolved issues to LARA (Licensing and Regulatory Affairs): http://www.dleg.stat.../videocomp.html
2. Light up WOW's marketing tool, their Facebook page: https://www.facebook...owbuzz?filter=2
3. Light up their Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/TheWOWBuzz
4. Call WOW and tell them that if you don't get service, they don't get paid. Demand a partial refund. Call them at (866) 496-9669. Take option 3 (service issues) then option 1 (video service)
Light 'em folks, let them know we didn't wait this long to miss the 48 games that we do get!

"Neil? Dave Joyner."
Me: "No way: This is a put-on. This isn't Dave Joyner. You're supposed to be in the middle of the search."
"We are," he says, "but we got in a jam with our travel budget."
"I understand. Those damn sanctions."
Joyner says he heard the Mirror has a helicopter that it sometimes has used to assist area coaching searches. He asks if he and the committee could borrow it on short notice.
"Maybe, but who's going to drive it?"
Joyner: "I've got a pilot's license."
"Oh, and you're a doctor, too? You've got to be the most versatile AD in the country."
Joyner laughs.
"Well, I don't like to brag ..."
I tell him the chopper hasn't been used in several years - it wasn't needed to scope out John Franco's flirtation with Altoona - but if he'll agree to our company flight policy, then we can probably get her out.
"What's the stipulation?" he asks.
"Well, I'm the co-pilot. Somebody from the Mirror has to go."
Joyner pauses and can be heard, muffled, talking to someone, maybe Jeff Nelson. He comes back to the phone.
"That's OK, but there may be some off-the-record information."
"Let me check with Dave Jones on that," I say. "He can tell me what's useable."
The next day dawns, and Joyner and the search committee, pulling up in a blue van, are dropped off early as Mirror do-it-alls Erik Brown, Dan Slep and Rick Bacza de-ice the chopper.
Search committee members Linda Caldwell, Charmelle Green, Tom Poole, Wally Richardson and Bob Warming pile in. Wally notes a lack of leg room.
We quickly roar out of the parking lot, the students at the Pleasant Valley Elementary School gathering at their windows.
Joyner adjusts his flight cap and hands me the directions.
"Which way?" he says, hollering over the noise.
"South!" I yell back.
The noise quells as we zip over Cresson mountain - you can see the icicles hanging from the telephone poles - and head past Johnstown toward Pittsburgh.
I mention, "Tom Bradley's still doing radio for the Steelers."
Joyner acts like he can't hear me and accelerates.
"This thing has some power," he says. "Why don't you use it more often?"
"It's reserved for special occasions, Dave, and Joe did stay for 46 years."
Despite the frigid temperatures, it's a clear day, and way down yonder on the left is West Virginia.
"I know we're in an offensive age, but that's ridiculous," someone says quietly. "Eventually, you've got to be able to stop somebody."
I tell Joyner if we're going all the way to Florida, we'll have to stop in Atlanta for fuel.
"Oh, we've already been to Miami. Didn't you hear? [Al] Golden turned us down."
I couldn't resist: "That's not what Phil Grosz said."
We take a hard right and start passing over the Smoky Mountains to enter Tennessee.
"Oh, I get it," I tell Joyner. "You want to have lunch with James Franklin and dinner with Mike Munchak. Economic searching."
"No, we talked to those guys. I'm just checking to see who else might be in their driveway."
I peer through my binoculars.
"Uh, oh: Looks like the car at Franklin's house has a Redskins bumper sticker."
"That's OK. The [NFL] buyout won't be as flexible this time," another voice chimes in.
Soon we see a sky sign: Houston - 750 miles. Joyner starts sweating, almost loses control and snaps off a hard left turn. Papers and soda cans scatter.
Joyner gathers himself and begins to slow down over North Carolina so he can see the Duke campus.
"Good idea," I offer. "[David] Cutcliffe comes highly regarded, and coaching in Pat Chambers' shadow would be easier than Coach K's."
"Hey, hey, enough of that," Joyner admonishes me. "We're a good [basketball] team. Get used to it."
Joyner sets the Mirror chopper on cruise control, starts heading north and leans back. The rest of the committee has nodded off.
"You know," he confides quietly, "these have been two tough years. I didn't have any idea what I was in for."
"Well, that's a little late. But don't beat yourself up too badly, Dave. You did hire O'Brien. If only he would have stayed a few more days ... I mean years."
As we taxi into the Mirror parking lot, there's a familiar figure waiting, clipboard in hand.
It's Larry Johnson. He offers to take the committee back to State College.
"Good idea," Joyner says, "and I thought we'd stop for something to eat in Tyrone. We'll have more privacy for our interview than in Altoona. Is the Villa still open?"
I wish Johnson well, shake hands with the committee members and privately ask Joyner if he would mind giving the Mirror the scoop when the verdict is in.
"Just as long as we can use your cool helicopter again, sure," he says. "But I'll give you a clue: We don't know ourselves, except this is one search that, so far, hasn't been so golden."

|Protein Flips Lipids Across Membranes
|Wednesday, 26 October 2005 00:00
Found ubiquitously in both bacteria and humans, membrane proteins of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)–binding cassette (ABC) transporter family have been implicated in both antibiotic and cancer-drug resistance. The mechanisms used by these proteins to expel toxins from cells therefore represent key targets for the development of drugs designed to combat the growing problem of multidrug resistance. Toward this end, researchers from The Scripps Research Institute have succeeded in crystallizing MsbA—an ABC transporter protein—together with a substrate (the molecule to be transported) and a hydrolyzed (spent) form of the nucleotide ATP, the transporter's source of chemical energy. The resulting molecular complex is caught at a moment following the transporter's "power stroke," the force-generating part of the transport cycle. This snapshot suggests a mechanism by which the substrate molecule gets flipped head-over-tail from one side of the membrane to the other, on its way out of the cell.
ABC transporters are made up of two subunits, each of which contains a transmembrane domain, where specific substrate molecules can be bound, and a nucleotide-binding domain (the ATP-binding "cassette"), which is conserved across all members of the family. Previous studies have shown MsbA to be extremely flexible, occurring in both open and closed conformations. In the open conformation, the two transmembrane domains connect at their extracellular ends to form an inverted V-shaped molecule. In the closed conformation, both the transmembrane and nucleotide-binding domains are closely packed, and a large chamber accessible from inside the cell is formed. It has also been shown that several members of the ABC transporter family work on both lipids and drug molecules, suggesting a common transport mechanism for these compounds, which are characterized by hydrophilic "heads" and hydrophobic "tails." However, despite attempts to model the structural changes of MsbA and other multidrug-resistant ABC transporters, a detailed view of conformational rearrangements during ATP hydrolysis and substrate transport has been elusive.
In this work, the researchers obtained for the first time the structure of an intact ABC transporter (bacterial MsbA from Salmonella typhimurium) in the presence of a substrate (lipopolysaccharide) and a complex of adenosine diphosphate (ADP), inorganic vanadate, and magnesium that mimics the transition state of ATP during hydrolysis. The structure was determined to a resolution of 4.2 Å at ALS Beamline 8.3.1. The results show that the transmembrane domains are tilted 30° relative to the molecular axis, with extensive interdigitation of the helices. Two lipopolysaccharide molecules are bound on the periplasmic (outer-membrane) side, but only one ADP complex is found in the nucleotide-binding domains. A large rotation and translation in the transmembrane domain results in an opening of approximately 15 Å toward the periplasmic end, allowing access to the internal chamber from the periplasm but not from the cytoplasm.
The observations led the researchers to propose a process in which the lipopolysaccharide substrate initially binds near a site in the transmembrane domain (called the elbow helix) with a high affinity for several cationic heavy metals. During the power-stroke step, the hydrophilic heads of the substrate are sequestered within the internal chamber and flipped to the outer membrane by the rigid-body shearing of the transmembrane domains while the hydrophobic tails are dragged through the membrane. The presence of only one ADP complex suggests that the two nucleotide-binding domains act to hydrolyze ATP alternately, while the presence of two lipopolysaccharide molecules suggests that two substrate molecules may be transported per power stroke.
While much work lies ahead before a complete mechanistic model of substrate transport can be achieved, this model (together with previously solved MsbA structures) provides a framework for interpreting functional data concerning ABC "flippases" that confer multidrug resistance to cancer cells and infectious microorganisms.
Research conducted by C.L. Reyes and G. Chang (The Scripps Research Institute).

Rippel Foundation, Baxter Foundation, and The Skaggs Institute for Chemical Biology. Operation of the ALS is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences.

RiverRoad Dame Jacketby Christie - verified purchaser
This is a gorgeous, very well made jacket. Really beautiful and hip. With the liner in, it is quite warm and heavy. Unfortunately, it didn't fit me well. In a size small, the shoulders and chest were perfect, but the waist was six inches too large. More like 35 than 28 inches. Granted, I am very skinny with flat abs. If you have a bit of a pot belly, though, this will probably fit you well.

Functional protein arrays consist of thousands of proteins immobilized on a glass slide to facilitate the study of proteome-scale protein-interaction networks, autoantibody detection for clinical diagnosis, detection for infectious diseases, and vaccine research. Despite great promise, protein arrays have not been widely accepted because of technological hurdles including generating protein content, challenges in protein immobilization, and the need for complex robotics.
To overcome these problems, Promega offers a simple way to create medium-throughput custom protein arrays using the HaloLink™ Protein Array System. HaloLink is based on HaloTag®, a 33 kDa protein tag that forms a covalent bond with its ligand. HaloTag is multifunctional and has been used for protein expression and purification, cell-imaging, protein-immobilization, and protein-interaction analyses.
HaloLink Protein Array Systems combine protein-expression systems, a novel glass slide coating, and HaloTag technology to simplify the process of making custom protein arrays. This tutorial will focus on cell-free protein-expression systems for generating protein content, but HaloLink arrays have been successfully validated using cell-based expression systems like mammalian, E.coli, and insect cells.
Cell-free protein-expression systems based on coupled transcription-translation express proteins directly from DNA templates, are easy to use, rapid, and ideal for high-throughput formats. In addition, they can be used to express toxic, membrane, and insoluble proteins and allow insertion of non-natural amino acids containing fluorescent or other reactive labels.
The HaloLink Protein Array System uses polyethylene glycol (PEG)-coated glass slides for protein capture. PEG-based hydrogels resist nonspecific adsorption of unwanted protein and minimize surface-induced denaturation of immobilized proteins. PEG-coated glass slides activated with HaloTag ligands (HaloLink slides) are used to capture proteins-of-interest (POI) fused to HaloTag that are expressed in cell-free protein-expression systems.
Attachment through HaloTag is covalent, and POI are oriented for maximum functional activity, but more importantly, no prior protein purification is necessary. Although, other protein tags like polyhisitidine and GST can be used for orienting proteins at the surface, leaching due to the reversible nature of binding limits their utility. Finally, a silicone gasket that can be attached to the slide creates 50 wells on the glass slides allowing multiple assays to be performed manually on the same slide without any specialized equipment.
The combination of cell-free expression systems and HaloTag attachment chemistry allows users to create a medium-throughput custom array and perform downstream protein-interaction applications in less than eight hours (Figure 1A).

General Psychology (Honors Option)PSY 101
Does what you eat impact your brain function? Is it damaging to spank your children? Are you really independently minded, or do others influence you more than you think? These are just a few of the many real-life questions addressed in General Psychology. Through readings, lectures, discussions, and in-class activities, you will learn the ways psychologists study human behavior and the mind. A major emphasis will be placed on understanding basic methods of data collection, analysis, and interpretation. No matter what major you decide to pursue, General Psychology will help you better understand yourself and be able to work effectively with others.
Research Methods IPSY 300
This course will help you understand the methods psychologists use in studying human behavior and the mind. The course will help you learn how to understand the statistical findings reported in a professional journal articles, and how to evaluate common claims reported in the news. Students will conduct an in-depth review of existing research in a specific area of psychology and design a research project. Emphasis will be placed on writing a formal research proposal that incorporates standards of scientific writing in the context of the behavioral sciences as well as the use of American Psychological Association (APA) writing style.
Research Methods IIPSY 303
Course under development
Senior Seminar in PsychologyPSY 470
Senior Seminar is an opportunity for you to take what you have learned in your other psychology courses and integrate those concepts before graduating. The content in this course focuses on current topics in the field of psychology such as Positive Psychology, Peace Psychology, and Cultural Psychology. Within our discussion of such topics there is an emphasis on ethical behavior and how you can use your Psychology degree to have a positive impact on the world.
Cognitive PsychologyPSY 311
Can you rely on your memory to be accurate? Is it possible to have too much information to learn to be able to remember it? What information do you use when trying to solve a problem? Why are children ableto learn language quickly, while adults struggle with the same task? Understanding how our mental processes work is the basic goal of cognitive psychology. Understanding how we think can be of special interest to those pursuing fields of education, business, and law.
LearningPSY 382
People in education, mental health, and business need to understand how others learn new information and how to motivate them to work harder. You will learn various concepts and techniques that will help you understand how we learn everything from fears to new concepts in a class. YouÕll also understand the many different types of motivation, what helps to keep us motivated once weÕve already accomplished something, and how to motivate someone who appears not to care. You will examine theories and research findings related to learning and motivation and then apply that information by creating programs for yourself (e.g., how to exercise more) and for others (e.g., how to get kids to do their homework).
Biological PsychologyPSY 411
What makes you you? Is it your physical form? Is it your genetic make-up? Is it your thoughts and behavior? In Biological Psychology we get to the root of these questions by examining the physiological, evolutionary, and developmental mechanisms of behavior. In short, we look at the interactions among brain, body, and behavior. Through in-class and out-of-class assignments and activities, you will discover how we know everyone perceives the color red the same way, how smoking even one cigarette will make you want more, and how individuals act when the two hemispheres of the brain cannot ÒtalkÓ to each another. Biological Psychology will lead you through the exciting world of typical and atypical behavior by helping you better understand the physiological underpinnings of human functioning.
Life-Span DevelopmentPSY 221
Whether your goal is to be a professional, a parent, a partner, or maybe all three, knowledge of what people experience at different ages will help you to be more effective in your professional and personal interactions. This course will explore a variety of topics throughout the lifespan, such as prenatal brain growth, infant attachment, adolescent sexuality, whether or not people really have a Òmid-life crisisÓ, and myths of aging. You will apply and demonstrate your learning in group work, projects, and papers. You will also be asked to make connections across the lifespan. For example, you might be asked to investigate how your childhood attachment patterns are related to your ability to form effective relationships as an adult.
Child and Adolescent DevelopmentPSY 310
Have you ever wondered how certain foods and drugs influence childrenÕs development during the prenatal period? Or how infant personality and parenting style interact to create a certain kind of parent-child relationship? Or what makes certain teens popular, while others are rejected? This course will introduce you to biological, cognitive, and social-emotional development of childhood and adolescence. Through this course, you will focus on a range of topics that will help you parent your own future children or work with children and adolescents in a professional setting.
The Psychology of Adulthood and AgingPSY 321
Who is old? Which psychological processes change after an individual reaches their biological maturation, and which do not? This course focuses on changes and continuities in psychological development after adolescence. We will consider both theory and research concerning adult development and aging in the physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional domains. We will also evaluate what it means to age successfully versus unsuccessfully. Thus, we will consider outcomes ranging from optimal aging to average or usual aging, to diseased aging. The class will combine lectures and discussions with projects that students will present during course meetings.
Family PsychologyPSY 360
How has growing-up in your family shaped the person you have become? This course examines family influences on peopleÕs development. Throughout the class, we will continually remind ourselves that contemporary families are highly diverse and develop in highly diverse settings. Some of the specific topics we will explore include characteristics of divorced and step-families, gay and lesbian families, single-parent families, and the influences of poverty and discrimination on family functioning. After you have completed this course, you will have more knowledge of childrenÕs development in general and influences on familial development in particular.
Personality PsychologyPSY 230
Who are you and how are you unique from others? Would you describe yourself as cautious or thrill-seeking? Introverted or extroverted? Flexible or rigid? Understanding your own personality can help you function more productively in work and relationships. Understanding variations in personality allows you to predict other peopleÕs behavior so you know what to expect from them. This course examines the different theories about how personality is thought to develop (e.g., psychodynamic, motivational, biological, or cognitive). Through class discussions, readings, activities, and class projects, we will explore the elements of personality, how these elements are organized, and the influence of personality on human behavior.
Social PsychologyPSY 330
How do your stereotypes of other people change their behavior? What techniques are successful in influencing othersÕ behavior? Why are some relationships successful while others end in conflict? And what determines whether people will be helpful or aggressive? Social psychologists examine how behavior is affected by the presence of other people and by the specific situation. Classic problems throughout history (e.g., obedience in Nazi Germany) and modern issues (e.g., prejudice by teachers) will be studied in this course. You will have the opportunity to apply many of the topics to your life and to the lives of those around you.
Human Sexuality and GenderPSY 375
If you think you already know everything there is to know about the "birds and the bees," fasten your seatbelt for a wild ride through human sexuality! The more knowledge you have about your body, your sexual and reproductive functioning, and the factors that influence sexual development, such as gender roles, beauty expectations, and fertility, the more likely you will be able to sustain good health and functioning. This course will also explore controversial topics such as sex education, abortion, sexual orientation, sex work, and sexual coercion.
Abnormal BehaviorPSY 240
Did you know that almost one in two people will be directly affected by a psychological disorder such as anxiety, depression, alcohol dependence or schizophrenia? ItÕs very likely that you already know a friend or family member who is struggling with one of these disorders, or possibly you have struggled with one of these disorders yourself. Through readings, lectures, discussions, and in-class activities, this course will help you better understand the description, causes, and treatments of the most common psychological disorders. Even those students who have never had experiences with psychological disorders will gain useful strategies for stress management, coping with automatic negative thoughts, and maintaining good mental health over the course of their lifetime.
Child, Family and Youth ServicesPSY 341
What might you be like if you had grown up in another culture? Would you have a cell phone and an iPod? Would you commune with the spirits? Would you be celebrating your 10th wedding anniversary this year? In this course we will examine the wide variation in human development and how that variation affects an individual?s physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional growth. We will investigate such topics as whether infant massage helps children develop motor skills early, whether puberty exists among all cultures, and how body image is both similar and different across cultures. This course is designed to help you develop a sense of the wide range of possible developmental conditions, and to give you a greater understanding of how and why people think and behave differently in different cultures. In addition this course is designed to help you to see how your own culture has helped shape your thoughts and actions.
Counseling Theories and TechniquesPSY 440
If you are interested in relationships, communication, helping techniques, and interpersonal self-evaluation, this course is for you! Counseling Theories is designed to help you improve problem-solving skills, Òpeople skills,Ó and your ability to use feedback for self-reflection and growth. Through readings, in-class discussions, and written reflections, you will develop a working knowledge of the counseling process. Through the use of role-plays and simulated interviews, you will develop the necessary skills to conduct an initial clinical interview, build a therapeutic relationship, and inspire change. Skills such as listening, assessing, empathizing, reflecting, questioning, reframing, challenging, summarizing, and goal-setting will be emphasized.
Psychology Electives 15 credit hours
Concentration in Psychology Research 12 credit hours
Psychology Research IPSY 394
This course allows you to pursue answers to various questions about human behavior by helping psychology faculty members conduct research in our psychology lab. In collaboration with a faculty member, you will form a hypothesis, collect data to test your hypotheses, and then analyze the data. You will work closely with a small group (usually 4-6 students) to conduct your study.
Psychology Research IIPSY 396
In Psychology Research II, you have the opportunity to continue working on the study you started in PSY 394: Psychology Research I In addition, you may serve as a research assistant to the professor by helping to teach the other students about the research project and how to collect, code, and analyze data.
Honors Thesis in PsychologyPSY 480
Have you ever thought about going to graduate school? If so, this is the course for you! You will work one-on-one with a psychology faculty member to design a research study and carry it out, much the same as you will do in graduate school. You will be expected to submit your research to professional conference and make a presentation at the conference if your work is accepted (which it will be; we've never had a Peace student paper rejected!). Seniors who can work independently and who want to be challenged should take this course. The research skills you will gain in this class can make you a very attractive applicant to a graduate program and make you competitive for entry-level research positions in the professional world.

Things like the feeling of thirst, blind spots when driving, or finding the beat in a song when it changes. In my last post I asked you all if you pay attention to how certain things affect you. I also said that lately I've been approaching my meals at home with no forethought. Take breakfasts for example. I would always say that I'm more of a "sweet breakfasts" person, but lately I've been waking up many mornings wanting different things. Or sometimes I've been waking up with nothing in mind. If I'm hungry I'll walk to the fridge, open it, and stare up and down for five minutes. So here are some of my recent varying breakfasts.
I made Ashley's Chocolate Buckwheat Breakfast bake, but next time I don't want to add so much cocoa powder.
I combined these two recipes: breakfast scramble and tofu taco, and then added some of my own dashes of flavor.
Tofu Taco Scramble
2 teaspoons olive oil or toasted sesame oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 pound firm tofu, crumbled
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup green peas
6 corn tortillas (I use sprouted)
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 avocado, sliced (optional)
Other toppings: sour cream, kefir, salsa, hot sauce
1. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet, then sauté onion and mushrooms over med-high heat, stirring often, until onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
2. Add tofu, spices and seasonings, nutritional yeast and soy sauce. Continue cooking another 5 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to medium and cook 3 minutes, stirring often.
4. Heat a tortilla in a heavy dry skillet, turning it from side to side until soft and pliable.
5. Place a small amount of tofu mixture in the center, then fold tortilla in half and remove from heat.
6. Garnish with green onions, salsa, sour cream and avocado, if using. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
I bought jicama for another recipe and had some leftover, so I found this delicious recipe to try out. So refreshing!
Sauerkraut in the morning? I combined two recipes again: vegetarian reuben sandwich and tempeh reuben.
Another recipe from Ashley, a banana cornbread cake and if I remember correctly I just made the creature blob by simply mixing Greek yogurt, a bit of almond milk, and sunflower seed butter together to get this pudding like consistency.
Kita's cornmeal pancake recipe was so delicious!
I finally stumbled upon Coconut Bliss's "Ginger Cookie Caramel" at the store one day, mind you I've been keeping an eye out for it since the flavor released a few months ago. I'm glad I picked it up because a) it was the last one, and b) I have yet to see it again.
This was also very tasty, and I loved the bitter crunch from the cacao nibs.
La-Loo's goat's milk ice cream caught my eye, and I decided on vanilla. Whoa! This was so good that I don't think I will ever buy another kind of vanilla ice cream. Ever. It was creamy, sweet ,and had an intense vanilla flavor like no other–no wonder it's considered the "holy grail" of ice cream.
Any recipes in this post you'd like to try? What's your favorite ice cream?

The following questions were asked to Bret Hart during his interview with the Mirror but were not used in the print edition of the story.
Q: Growing up in a family centered so much on pro wrestling, did it ever enter into your mind that you might want to do something other than wrestle?
A: "I always had sort of a fascination with wrestling; it was always there," Hart said. "It was always there that I could always be a wrestler kind of thing. I was the biggest of my dad's kids. When I was born, I had the biggest hands.
"In my teens, I sort of steered away from pro wrestling, but when I got to be 20, I tried to go out and earn a living, went back to school, and when that didn't work out, I kind of made up my mind. I was going to be a wrestler and if I liked it or not, it was always going to get its hooks into me.
"It was a calling, I always knew I was going to and I wanted to be the best wrestler there ever was."
Q: What is your best memory about your time tagging with Jim Neidhart with Jimmy Hart as your manager?
A: "We are all different people, but Jimmy was the one from the south and very polite," Hart said. "Neidhart had that whacked-out look that no one else ever had. He looked like the crazy doctor in Bugs Bunny cartoons."
"Jimmy was always a good friend to us," Hart said. "He was our manager in our storyline, but in a lot of ways he was a real manager to us. We never had a harsh word between us and as a team that was the main reason we lasted so long. We had a lot of great years together. I think I miss the early Hart Foundation days the most."
Q: You are one of the top wrestlers ever, and Altoona is pretty far away from Calgary. What motivates you to work an independent show so far from home despite being technically retired?
A: "It's an opportunity to see some old fans, friends and see Neidhart and Jimmy Hart," Bret Hart said. "It's important for me to reach out and give back to the younger guys who are trying to win some fans and help them get to the big time. It's important to give back, and a lot of wrestlers forget where they came from."
"I'm always happy to watch [younger wrestlers] and give them pointers," Hart said. "I'll see guys at a show in Altoona and try to help them get a job if I think they're doing a good job. I've helped a lot of guys find their way to the big time, even if it's just asking someone to take a look at a video."
Q: Are you happy the WWE has reverted back to a more family-style show and away from their "Attitude Era" phase?
A: "It reminds me more of my era now," Hart said. "Cena reminds me of my old character, and the shows might even be tamer than they were in my time."
"Wrestling is something that is for the whole family whether it be mom dad, grandpa or grandma. The whole family could go back in my day," Hart said. "I think that's what made wrestling the phenomenon it is. If it was gory, it was okay, because there was always a Bushwhacker or a midget for the kids."

The Tempest; Director Ron Daniels; Designer, Maria Bjornson; Photographer, Donald Cooper (ahds.ac.uk/performingarts); Royal Shakespeare Company, August 1982.
"As the King of Naples's ship 'splits' off Prospero's island, heading into the audience with sail full-stretched like a vast heraldic banner, it is almost instantly replaced, in the thunder and lightning of the storm, by the image of another ship, wrecked long ago, with tattered sails and broken masts. This, you feel at once, must be the 'bark' on which Prospero was beached, 12 years earlier; and here stands the exiled Duke of Milan, back to the audience, slowly lowering his magic staff as he calms the storm he has conjured for his great revenge." Richard Findlater, Plays and Players 8.82. Opening Date: 11 August 1982, Theatre: Royal Shakespeare Theatre.
From early on The Tempest has invited spectacular staging, suited to indoor theatre and modern lighting. HMR

Because they lost power to the water cooling system, they needed to vent the pressure that's building up inside.My suspicion is that as the temperature inside the reactor was rising, some of the metal cans that surround the fuel may have burst and at high temperature, that fuel cladding can react with water to produce zirconium oxide and hydrogen.That hydrogen then will be part of the gases that need to be vented. That hydrogen then mixes with the surrounding air. Hydrogen and oxygen can then recombine explosively. So it seems while the explosion wasn't directly connected with the nuclear processes, it was indirectly connected, because the hydrogen was only present because of what was going on in the reactor core.

National Alliance on Mental Illness
page printed from http://www2.nami.org/
(800) 950-NAMI; firstname.lastname@example.com
For Immediate Release: June 12, 2003
National Convention in Minneapolis, June 28-July 1, 2003Includes Focus on National Football League. San-Antonio Express-News, Deseret News, Portland Press-Herald, Arizona Republic, Denver Post, Boston Globe & Others Win Honors
Arlington, VA -- The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) today announced the winners of its Outstanding Media Awards for 2003, presented annually to editors, producers, reporters, writers or actors who address issues or themes involving mental illness with accuracy, fairness, and compassion.
During the past two years, Pulitzer Prizes in editorial writing and investigative reporting have been awarded to newspapers for work first honored by NAMI. Two major motion pictures dealing sensitively with mental illness also have won Academy Awards—a trend which NAMI national executive director Richard C. Birkel called "an encouraging step forward in fighting stigma in the entertaiment industry."
"Last year it was A Beautiful Mind, this year Nicole Kidman in The Hours. Hollywood is beginning to show people with mental illness as complete individuals, who live with dignity and courage and face difficult choices."
"The fact that Pulitzer Prizes have gone to works focused on mental illness demonstrates increasing concern over the legacy of neglect, abandonment and abuse that too often has marked the mental health system. "We hope the President and Congress, governors, state legislators and other leaders will take notice.There is growing public awareness of the need for change."
Awards will be presented in Minneapolis on July 1, 2003 as part of a multimedia convention banquet program. NAMI's Distinguished Service Award, its highest honor, will be given posthumously to the late Senator Paul Wellstone (D-MN). Last year, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune also was honored for editorial advocacy.
The San Antonio Express-News will receive honors for both editorial and feature writing, while Salt Lake City's Deseret News will receive NAMI's award for news reporting for breaking news coverage of the rescue of Elizabeth Smart—which was a model for the nation in addressing difficult issues related to homelessness, mental illness, and religious delusions.
Maine's Portland Press-Herald and U.S. News & World Report will be honored for coverage of children in the mental healthcare system—which helped to spur Congressional action and a recent General Accounting Office (GAO) report on states that require parents to relinquish custody of their children in exchange for treatment.
Three honorees focused on the needs of Hispanic communities: the Arizona Republic, El Diario of Ciudad Juarez/El Paso, and Univision's Marta Susana Show.
One of the biggest stories of the year involved the National Football League, when Oakland Raider center Barrett Robbins was unable to play due to a relapse of bipolar disorder. For the first time, NAMI has added sports news and commentary to its media award categories: honoring The Boston Globe and The Denver Post for their coverage of the Barrett Robbins story.
"The response of sportswriters in defending Robbins against stigma and educating fans about the realities of mental illness was tremendous," said Birkel. In addition, the Newark Star-Ledger and Philadelphia Daily News will be honored for coverage of former Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions lineman Alonzo Spellman's struggle with bipolar disorder.
Ironically, NAMI's highest award for courage, leadership and service by a person with mental illness also is named in memory of a former NFL player. At the convention, Hikmah Gardiner, a leader of the Older Adults Consumer Mental Health Alliance, will receive NAMI's Lionel Aldridge award—named in honor of the former Green Bay Packer lineman who played in the 1967 Superbowl and later battled schizophrenia and homelessness.

, updated January 17, 2013 at 5:48 PM
Gone will be the concrete barriers and chain-link fence that greet fans as they enter Ralph Wilson Stadium from Abbott Road. Vending carts that clog concourses during halftime will disappear. Dead space on the 300 Level will be a thing of the past.
In their place will be a luminous glass team store designed to create a focal point on Abbott Road, an outdoor plaza that will funnel fans into the stadium and clearer concourses that offer more places to buy food and drinks.
All are part of a $130 million renovation proposed for Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park that aims to erase some of the nuisances of going to the game – from the long lines at the gates to the touchdown you miss while you're in the restroom.
The centerpiece of the project will be the 8,000-square-foot team store on Abbott Road that will mark the entrance to a new pedestrian plaza at the front of the stadium. The store – envisioned to include a modern glass design with elements reminiscent of the Old Rock Pile – will help create a "new front door" and boost the "curb appeal" of the 40-year-old home of the Buffalo Bills.
"We want it to glow and light up at night," said architect Scott Radecic, a former Bills linebacker who is now senior principal at Populous. "We want it to be a beacon along Abbott Road. We want people to know and to be obvious about what it is. We want to reinforce the Bills brand when people are passing by the stadium."
Populous, selected by the team to design the stadium upgrades, Thursday gave Erie County legislators their first in-depth glimpse into what a $95 million state and county investment into the county-owned stadium renovation will buy.
One of the main goals, Radecic said, is to improve the ways fans move in and out of the stadium by pushing the entrance gates 75 to 100 feet out and creating an outdoor space around the stadium for fans. Radecic said discussions are still under way with concessionaire Delaware North Cos. to determine what amenities could be added to that area to connect fans to the game.
"You've got all that space to circulate once you get inside the perimeter," Radecic said. "Right now, once you get in, you have to immediately get up to your seat, go right down, and there's no space to mingle."
A chain-link fence around the stadium will be replaced with new fencing that will create better views into the complex, and more lanes will be added that will more clearly define how people line up as they enter the ticket gates.
Inside the stadium, the renovations will focus on redesigning existing space to create more places to sell food and beverages, upgrade restrooms and clear portable vending stands that create backups in the concourses.
While improving the way fans move through the stadium was a priority, Bills executives ruled out a more expensive "retrofit" of the stadium that could have widened concourses to alleviate congestion. Instead, they will add more fan space with "destination concessions" to the east end zone by expanding into an area on the 100 Level that currently houses administrative space. Four barren promenade areas on the 300 Level that now are mostly empty during the games will get concession stands and will become more accessible. Some concourse areas also will get radiant heaters, improved lighting and better signs.
"We want to be able to provide some areas where we can actually heat the concourses so that people get a little bit of relief on the really frigid days," Radecic said.
Fans also will notice technology upgrades in the stadium that could allow them to access wireless Internet and provide the ability for cellphone companies to boost coverage during the games. A new high-definition video scoreboard will replace the existing scoreboard on the west end of the stadium, allowing the older scoreboard to be split into two video boards that will sit atop indoor club seating areas on the east end, Radecic said. A third video screen will stretch across the top of suites at the stadium's east end.
Updated infrastructure to pipe data throughout the stadium also will allow the team to add high-definition television screens throughout the concourses and to pump game sound into restrooms. "Technology is changing the way people experience a game today," Radecic said. "It's one of the fastest moving elements of the whole participating in an NFL game experience."
The project – which has a long list of other changes that include safety upgrades, work to meet standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act, infrastructure repairs and a new commissary building – is part of a 10-year lease deal negotiated by the Bills, New York State and Erie County.
The proposed lease, which still needs approval from the County Legislature and the group of team owners in the National Football League, would require the team to pay a $400 million buyout if the Bills leave during the first seven years.
The cost to the state and the county is expected to be about $226 million during the 10-year lease, including the renovations, team subsidies and other annual payments.
Asked about the lifespan of the stadium after renovations are complete, Bills CEO Russ Brandon told legislators that it would need to be a community decision about whether it makes sense to build a new stadium or renovate the existing facility beyond the next decade.
"Those are the kind of decisions we need to make as a community moving forward," Brandon said. "But I'm very comfortable that this stadium can continue to prosper with the renovations that have taken place in the past and in the future."

on December 6, 2012 - 12:10 AM
Orchard Park Town Board members Wednesday night heartily endorsed the improvements planned for Harvest Hill Golf Course, the public course now owned by personal injury attorney Ross Cellino.
The board approved a site plan and building permit for a pavilion, barn, club house, starter's shed and additional rest-room at a work session Nov. 14 without public notice.
"We didn't expect to have it before us," Councilman David Kaczor said during Wednesday night's regular board meeting.
Cellino appeared before the Planning Board on Nov. 14. It recommended approval by the Town Board.
The Town Board discussed some items in open session that night, then went into executive session to meet with its labor attorney on a different matter. It did not mention that it may take action on the golf course.
Cellino was hoping to start construction before winter arrives and finish the work before next spring's golf season opens. After gaining Planning Board approval, he walked from the basement meeting room to the supervisor's conference room where the Town Board was meeting.
Kaczor said Town Board members spoke to some Planning Board members that night and decided to approve the site plan and building permit immediately because they did not want to hold up the project until the next regular meeting, which was Wednesday. They also said the project would have been approved Wednesday.
"We felt it was in the best interest of the town, the community and Mr. Cellino," he said. "We wanted to assist Mr. Cellino with a project we feel will be to the benefit of the town and community."
The 248-acre course opened in July 2007 on land that had been donated in 1997 to the West Seneca Rotary for the purpose of creating a public recreational facility and golf course for the community.
The Harvest Hill Foundation secured 140 more acres and started a First Tee chapter but was never able to raise the funds to build a clubhouse and other improvements.
Cellino, who bought the course in October, said he wants it to remain public, and the First Tee program, a national educational, developmental and recreational initiative for young people, will remain at the course.

The Stetson men's and women's tennis teams will host a pair of matches this weekend, taking on ETSU on Thursday and USC Upstate on Saturday at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.
"This will be another challenging weekend of conference matches for both our men's and women's teams," Stetson Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said. "Both the men's and women's teams at ETSU and USC Upstate will be contenders for the conference championships this year."
The Hatter men (13-1, 4-0) enter this weekend undefeated in conference play, coming off two big road wins against Kennesaw State and Mercer. Stetson will be looking for their first 5-0 start in conference play since 2008.
In order to do that, the Hatters will have beat ETSU (5-6, 1-1), who enters on a two-match losing streak. The Bucs are the six-time defending Atlantic Sun Conference champions, and were ranked as high as 64th in the nation as of last week. The match is set to begin at 12:00 p.m.
On the women's side, Stetson (9-5, 4-0) enters on a two-match winning streak after defeating both Kennesaw State and Mercer this past week. They will look to take down ETSU (7-4, 2-0), who also won both of their conference matches this past weekend. The match is tentatively scheduled to begin at 4:00 p.m.
On Saturday, Stetson will take on USC Upstate. The Hatter women will play first, taking on the Spartans (8-5, 0-2) at 10:00 a.m. The Hatters have defeated the Spartans in their last four meetings.
The Hatter men will follow the women, taking on the Spartans (6-8, 0-2) at 2:00 p.m. Stetson won the last meeting between the two squads, defeating USC Upstate 4-3 last season in Spartanburg, S.C.
"We are probably the underdog in both matches," Pilote said. "On the men's side, it is due to our youth and on the women's side due to injuries, but I know that our teams are looking forward to the challenges."
For those who are unable to attend the matches, live stats, the @StetsonTennis Twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts will be available for updates.

The Porter-Gaud volleyball team has a new coach, but expectations haven't changed for the successful program.
PMB's Top 10
Here's how The Post and Courier's Phil Bowman ranks the top 10 high school football teams in the Lowcountry:
TW LW Team Comment
1. 1. Goose Creek Gators have scored 133 points in two games
2. 2. Stratford Knights show poise with victory at Sumter
3. 3. Summerville Green Wave hosts Goose Creek in showdown
4. 5. Hanahan Hawks handle rival BE on offense and defense
5. 8. Woodland Schedule is very favorable for Wolverines
6. 4. Bluffton Bobcats rebound after loss to South Effingham
7. 7. Wando Wando has another Hart at quarterback
8. 9. Timberland Wolves solid in 37-0 victory over Cross
9. 10. West Ashley Wildcats' defense has allowed only 23 points
10. NR Ft. Dorchester LaPrad's Patriots are young and talented
After coaching the Cyclones to three straight SCISA titles, Ashley Heidtke moved to Georgia when her husband took a job there. Megan Parkerson was promoted to varsity coach after serving as Heidtke's assistant for five years.
Porter-Gaud also had to replace some key players, including all-state selections Julia McAvoy and Lexie Meyer, who graduated last year.
The transition has been smooth as the Cyclones won 10 of their first 12 matches this season.
Parkerson, a Nashville native who played for Southern Conference champion College of Charleston from 2004-07, said the team is faring well and should battle Ashley Hall and First Baptist for Lowcountry supremacy in the SCISA ranks.
"Ashley did a terrific job," Parkerson said. "The team was extremely successful and my job is to keep it going. But we lost a lot of talent and we have a young team."
The team doesn't have a senior on the roster, but many of the players have stepped up as leaders. Among them are juniors Chelsea McKelvey, Tanner Renken, Marla Sagatelian and Elle Blakeney.
There are some talented sophomores, as well, including Gracie Mogul, who has been named a member of Under Armour's prestigious "Phenom Watch List" for 2013. This honor is the equivalent of UA's All-America Watch List for seniors, but is limited to underclassmen.
"We have adopted the right attitude," Parkerson said. "The players know they have to follow in past players' footsteps when it comes to hard work. Winning is definitely this team's goal, but we might have some ups and downs."

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - A Washoe County businessmen's association hosted Nevada State Superintendent of Schools Dr. Jim Guthrie at a morning meeting in Reno earlier this month. Present at the event were UNR President Marc Johnson and Washoe County School Chief Pedro Martinez.Dr. Guthrie was recruited earlier this year by Governor Sandoval to effect significant changes in Nevada's K-12 education system. Guthrie did not mince many words. He began by announcing that every 11 minutes a Nevada student drops out of the public school system. He went on to say that based on the latest National Assessment of Educational Progress testing of Nevada 4th graders (administered by the US Department of Education to test students on a uniform basis) only 39 percent of Anglos and 19 percent of Latinos are reading proficient.He said that Nevada's K-12 public education system flatly doesn't work because it is a "government shielded cartel" in which employees lack any motivation to excel. He cited several exceptions to his opinion which he had visited the prior day (Cervantes School, Mariposa Academy and Davidson Academy) but added that these outstanding examples are not the rule.He sees teacher tenure as a real impediment to improving the quality of education. He maintains that it is granted too generously (principals in one year, teachers in three) after which they effectively cannot be terminated and have little motivation to excel. The biggest problem is that it protects poor performers and that entrepreneurial educators who do want to improve matters have no control over the quality of the system.He discussed the means by which he intends to effect changes in the Silver State's education system. First is the "bully pulpit" - opportunities such as the one at present to persuade influential individuals of the need for improvement. Second will be an effective system of measurement of progress. "If it is measured," he said, "it will improve."Third was "human capital" ... teachers and administrators. "We no longer have the best people seeking teaching careers," he said. "Nothing is more effective than a good teacher." He said we need to change the licensing process because it is outdated and discourages experienced professionals from seeking teaching jobs. Dr. Guthrie would like to create a system of "master teachers" who could earn at a level that would attract the best qualified.Fourth, Dr. Guthrie sees competition as a means to improve public education in Nevada. Of the nearly 450,000 students in Nevada only 13,000 are currently in charter schools. He plans a significant expansion in new charters starting immediately. He also intends to pursue a system of tax incented corporate scholarships so minority students in particular can have the means to attend top rated private schools.Washoe Superintendent Pedro Martinez announced to the group that he plans to implement a "STEM" (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) signature academy in every high school in Washoe County and is also preparing on line classes by which students can learn time management skills and discipline. He is also working with UNR to find space to develop a laboratory program for engineering and science.UNR President Marc Johnson told the group that 35 percent of students entering UNR need remedial math and English classes which takes resources away from academic courses and makes it almost impossible for those students to graduate in four years. Conversely, UNR attracts many National Merit scholars so his challenge is to provide for both lower and higher achievers simultaneously. So it appears that Nevada K-12 education is headed for a shake up and that Nevada's higher education administrators are watching closely.- Jim Clark is president of Republican Advocates and has served on the Washoe County and Nevada State GOP Central Committees; he can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Texas college campus issues alert amid reports of shooter
January 22, 2013
HOUSTON (AP) — A shooting on a Texas community college campus wounded at least two people Tuesday and sent students fleeing for safety as officials placed the campus on lockdown, officials said....

Oh just wait you'll hear he had a mental issue but yet everyone is going to be crying take away the guns, we've had guns for a couple hundred years, we've only had low morals and sick tv show's ,cartoons and video games for about 30 years

lets call it what it is. a couple of street thugs that can't fight, and have to pull guns to show their toughness. i wish they had both shot themselves fatally. this has nothing to do with gun control.

Mass shooting, quick reflex resulting in executive orders mandating more 'tougher' gun laws.
Fiscal cliff, repeated attempts to increase the spending limit. After all, who hasn't heard of the platinum card? Or better yet, let's increase revenue by adjusting tax rates and spend the new income. Spend, spend, spend is the motto.
Thousands of jobs lost, let's spin the press so that instead of creating jobs we can show the people we are SAVING jobs. I am so happy! My job was saved last month.
Unemployment decreasing, please don't tell the people the truth about those who have exhausted their unemployment benefits or are about to and are no longer included in the jobless numbers.

Unaffordable health care, new government health care system without funding. Has your average American benefited at all from the new healthcare law? Insurance rates keep rising and you still have a deductible to pay after every visit and lab test despite what is removed from your pay. But, I can now get get my birth control for free. That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
Afghanistan, hey, I didn't start it, but I'm going to turn it back over to the same Taliban that was in placed when OBL was here.
Arab spring .... okay, this we are still unsure about. It was fun sitting in front of the microphones encouraging those in Egypt and Libya to rise up against there oppressors. Wait. What's that you are telling me? Suicide bombers, terrorist encounters, and the persecution of Christians. Ouch, I better keep my hands off of this for a while.

Syria. Despite the hypocrisy of coming to the aid of the 'people' of Egypt and Syria, I had better lay low on this one and play it safe. It might look like I had pie on my face if I support the overthrow of the government and a terrorist organization seizes control.
Iran, a self-proclaimed terrorist state. Diplomacy is key. What????? You are telling me we don't negotiate with terrorists .... What in the*****have we been doing?
The American people. You have to make them feel good and be seen as one, despite your salary of 400k/yr putting you in the 1% 'haves.' You have to convince them that life without government sustenance is not possible. Don't forget to not mention how much was spent on your re-election and definitely do not make big fan-fare about campaign contributions and finance reform.

Most of all, continue to sit on the podium professing to the people about how congress must work together for the good of the people while watching Reid, McConnell, Cantor and Pelosi preach from their pulpits to the constituents because any stance against their party would be absolute self destruction when it comes to the next campaign for re-election.
I wonder if history will repeat itself. Better yet, I wonder if the House will fall to the dems in the next 2 yrs. What kind of surprises could we all be in for? Why work and be punished with taxes? I'd rather sit home all day, downsize my lifestyle, collect my government check and healthcare. It would be great. I could get paid to live!

WAILEA - With back-to-back Academy Award nominations over the last two years, actress Jessica Chastain has shared deep emotions and powerful truths with audiences watching her on the screen - but she says she has never actually shown herself.
"With every character, there are things I have in common, and things I disagree with," said the screen and stage artist prior to accepting the Maui Film Festival Nova Award in a Saturday-night tribute at the Celestial Cinema at the Wailea Gold and Emerald Golf course. "But I would never say one of the characters was me."
The Sacramento, Calif., native had visited Maui once before, "but I don't remember anything because it was so long ago. So this really feels like the first time. We went zip-lining yesterday, which was fun. My family is here with me, we're reading books and being by the ocean and taking helicopter tours, and then I also get to watch movies - things I love!"

Maui Film Festival Nova Award winner Jessica Chastain jokes with E! News interviewer Marc Malkin while presenting him with a lei Saturday night in Wailea. She asked playfully, "It's not your first time, is it?"
The Maui News / MATTHEW THAYER photo
She called the Nova Award a special honor. "As an actor, you're used to so much rejection in your life, so the past two years have been such a gift for me. To be here receiving this acknowledgment from the festival in this incredible environment and to share it with my family . . . it's a wonderful moment where work and family collide."
Chastain's most recent Academy Award nomination was for her searing portrayal of a CIA analyst single-mindedly pursuing Osama bin Laden in "Zero Dark Thirty." She was nominated as best actress in a leading role, one of the film's many nominations, including best picture.
That nomination followed her supporting actress Oscar nomination a year earlier in "The Help," playing a white Southern wife joining efforts by African-American maids and nannies bucking the bigotry of the '60s in Jackson, Miss.
In the same year, she co-starred with Brad Pitt in Terrence Malick's visionary tone poem, "The Tree of Life."
The inscription on the Maui Film Festival's Nova Award "honors a film artist for their astonishingly original and seamless performances, and the way they consistently infuse each character that they embody with insight, humanity and wisdom."
Besides her repeat Oscar nominations, Chastain also had the distinction of starring in the top two movies at the box office earlier this year, when her "Mama" topped the charts, bumping "Zero Dark Thirty" to the second spot. Her filmography also includes "Lawless," "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted," "The Debt" and "Take Shelter."
Other awards and nominations encompass the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Broadcast Film Critics Association Critics' Choice Awards. She stars in "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby," due for release this year and the drama "Miss Julie," due in 2014.
Chastain's two Oscar-nominated roles couldn't be more different, but she avoided an analogy to a chameleon.
In "The Help," her Celia Foote was soft and vulnerable in her innocence. "So much of Celia Foote is that heart energy. She is such a cuddle bug, and I'm a little bit of a cuddle bug."
Her role in "Zero Dark Thirty," in contrast, is tough-minded and laser-focused in her hunt for the world's most wanted man.
"In a way the character is married to her job, and loves her job. I'm never that extreme, because I have my family and my friends that I make sure I stay in contact with. But her job consumes her and I can understand that, because I love this job so much."
The Maui Film Festival concludes today, with a Celestial Cinema tribute to actress Brie Larson at 8 this evening. Larson stars in "Short Term 12," written and directed by Maui-born-and-raised Destin Cretton, which screens at 6 p.m. at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center's Castle Theater. Cretton will attend the screening and answer questions at its end. For more details on today's festival schedule, visit www.mauifilmfestival.com.

A settlement has been reached in the lawsuit filed by Trayvon Martin's parents against the homeowners association of the Sanford subdivision where the teen was killed.
The settlement is believed to be more than $1 million.
Martin was shot to death in February 2012 by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer at the Twin Lakes Townhomes in Sanford.
Zimmerman is now charged with second-degree murder. He claims it was self-defense
