Countries with Endemic Zika
Some countries in Africa, the Pacific Islands, and Asia have reported Zika in the past and may continue to occasionally report new cases. The risk to travelers in these endemic countries is likely much lower than it is in countries with Zika epidemics (see Q&A: Zika Risk in Countries with Endemic Zika). Because Zika infection in a pregnant woman causes severe birth defects, pregnant women should consult with their health care provider and, if they decide to travel, strictly follow steps to prevent mosquito bites. Travel notices have not been issued for these destinations but would be considered if the number of cases rises to the level of an outbreak. Check this page for the most up-to-date information before you make travel plans.

Faculty-Led Study Abroad Programs
Ubeda Spain Study Abroad Program
Summer Session I 2016
Lead by: Marianella Jara and David Mesa Munoz
Program Website: http://www.uncw.edu/studyspain/index.html
The UNCW Summer Program in Úbeda provides students with an intensive immersion experience in Spanish language and culture. Participants gain a rich knowledge and understanding of the cultures of Spain while studying, researching, and traveling throughout the country and, most importantly, by living with a Spanish host family. Located in the southern region of Spain known as Andalucía, Úbeda was declared a World Heritage Site in 2003 due to its magnificent Renaissance architecture. The city sits on a ridge overlooking the olive groves of the Guadalquivir Valley and is conveniently located close to other famous cities and places of historical interest such as Córdoba, Granada, Málaga, Sevilla, and Valencia. Úbeda is a small, intimate city that is safe for students, who can walk everywhere they need to go. It is an ideal place to study Spanish, offering quiet parks and plazuelas, majestic churches, labyrinthine streets, friendly locals, and fabulous culture and history.
Santiago, Dominican Republic
Summer Session II 2016
Lead by: Dr. Amanda Boomershine and Dr. L. J. Randolph
Website: http://uncw.edu/spngradabroad/
The Community Engagement and Advanced Cultural Studies in the Dominican Republic program provides students with the opportunity to study world cultures in real-life, contemporary contexts and become empowered as champions of social justice in their own classrooms. In addition, this program will equip students to evaluate large-scale impacts of historical, linguistic, economic, political, cultural, and artistic perspectives on individuals and societies and engage students in opportunities to promote a culture of tolerance and social justice in their immediate communities and throughout the world. In each course, students will continually be involved in self-reflection as they engage in research and critical discourse on such highly nuanced issues as race, power, language, politics, sexual identity, and citizenship in contemporary Dominican society.
Valparaíso, Chile
Dates TBA
Lead by: Valerie Rider
Program website: http://people.uncw.edu/riderv/chile
The name "Valparaíso" means valley of paradise. Students who study abroad in Chile soon see: the name fits! Valpo and its beautiful sister city, Viña del Mar, are located on the Pacific Ocean, in Chile's temperate fifth region. Now in its tenth consecutive year, the Chile program offers students the opportunity for true immersion in the Spanish language, as well as excursions ranging from the intellectual and cultural to the great outdoors. Our program provides plenty of time for free exploration and cultural appreciation, yet students also love their warm , loving host family experience. A geographic wonder, Valparaíso is a city of hills, ascensores (cable cars so you can get to the top of those hills), and panoramic vistas and sunsets that takes one's breath away. UNCW courses offered are SPN 302 and SPN 303, both of which count toward the major and the minor.
Semester in Santander, Spain
Summer 2016
Led by: Prof. Nella Jara and Michael Gordon
Through the N.C. Consortium for Study Abroad, UNCW students can study at the Universidad de Cantabria, Spain, during the fall or spring semesters. This program gives students the opportunity to spend a semester in the coastal city of Santander, taking up to 15 hours of 300- and 400-level credit in classes in Spanish geography, literature, art, history and language.
Santander is a beautiful city of 200,000 people set on a sparkling bay on Spain's northern coast, approximately 300 miles from Madrid and 150 miles from the French border. A major part of the Semester in Spain Program is the travel beyond Santander made available to students. These usually include three daytrips and a four-day tour to Madrid, Segovia and Toledo as well as a weekend trip to a city like Salamanca or Barcelona.
Students are housed in carefully selected homestays located within easy access to the universidad, downtown and the beaches. Airfare, tuition, housing, health insurance, daily meals, laundry service and all group trips are included in the price of the program. For more information about the Santander program, please consult the Semester in Spain website or contact Marinella Jara and/or Michael Gordon.

Re: Can't make SD N2A card!roustabout Apr 12, 2012 6:44 AM (in response to Zogman42)
If, at step 7, you do see a boot process start, and it's that boot process that throws i/o errors, it's most likely a problem with your card rather than anything else. That first cm7 boot is trying to write a ton of very small files.
Folks tend to prefer Sandisk micro SD cards over other brands because they tend to be faster cards.
Re: Can't make SD N2A card!mickeyquickrice Apr 16, 2012 10:53 AM (in response to Zogman42)
You need to use a class 4 sandisk card or you will have problems..I bought 3 cards that were not sandisk and had problems with programs shutting down..Once I went to the class 4 sandisk ..no problems since..Hope this helps.

The Bootleg: Tell me a little bit about your prep school days. What was that
decision like to move from Kennesaw to New Hampshire for your high school
Josh Owens: Really, it was kind a little bit of a personal decision. I was actually born in New Hampshire, and my parents always knew about Phillips-Exeter Academy, knew it was a great school. And as I got older, they told me about it and I'd always been an independent, adventurous type of guy. And I said "hey, it sounds like a great place. I'll try it out; hopefully get a whole lot of financial aid." It's the only prep school I applied to - got in, got all the financial aid, and the rest is history.
TB: You started out your Cardinal career playing behind the Lopez twins. What were those practices like for you, and what did you learn from them?
JO: I would say that those practices and that whole year was a blessing. Playing behind two future NBA starters and centers was definitely a learning experience. Definitely a change of pace from what it was like playing in high school and knowing what it takes and how good people are at this level.
TB: Your freshman year was the last time Stanford has made the Big Dance. What was it like going through that experience as a freshman, having the dunk against Cornell in the first round, beating Marquette in dramatic fashion, and going to the Sweet 16?
JO: *smiling* that was an experience in itself. Like I said, the whole year was a learning experience, but when we got to the point of making it to the tournament, that's when I started to realize what it took, being a part of such a great team like that, not necessarily playing a whole bunch, you realizes what it takes as a team to make it that far.
TB: How much were you able to appreciate it?
JO: *still smiling* I appreciated it a whole bunch even though I wasn't playing a whole bunch. I knew it was something special to go to the tournament. When I was younger watching the tournament, I always knew it was something special, and it was great.
TB: You had to sit out a year with that undisclosed medical condition. What was it like for you having to watch from the sidelines?
JO: That was probably the toughest year definitely basketball-wise of my life up to this point. But I definitely think it was a blessing in disguise. Sitting out gives you definitely a deeper appreciation of the game. But it gave me a chance to go out and support my teammates full-fledged as much as I could and just keeping hope and praying that I would be back on the court soon.
TB: Did the thought creep into your head that you may not be able to play basketball again?
JO: Early on when everything was up in the air and I didn't really know what was going on as much; of course, that's something that could be in the back of your head. But I treated every day as if I was going to be back on the court at some point, so I kept working out on my own, doing skill development and basketball stuff on my own, just in case I got the word that "hey, you can go back on that court" that I'd be ready.
TB: What was going through your head when you got the news that you could play ball again?
JO: *back to smiling* When I got the news, it was great after waiting so long. It was just great to hear. It was nice just to know that having faith and sticking to it paid off. And just being ready for that moment.
TB: On the court, you're known for your athleticism and monster dunks. For us mere mortals, what goes through your mind and what's it like to have those throw downs like you had against Arizona State and USC this year?
JO: It's funny because…When I was younger when I got a dunk, I'd get really hyped and I'd get really excited. Now I'll get a dunk and a lot of times I'll be like, oh, it's just two points. And whether it's during a timeout or whether it's after the game or the next day in practice, one of my teammates would say "man, that dunk was so crazy! You got all in this guy's face!" And a lot of times I'm like, "oh, I did?" *laughs* I don't really notice it when I'm up there; I just consider it another play.
TB: You're also one of the most effective scorers on the block in the conference. Your left shoulder has always been pretty killer, but this past year or so you've added that spin off the right shoulder. What did you do to improve your repertoire offensively?
JO: Just always looking for ways to get better. Working with Coach Davey for the last four years now, he's been great. He's a great teacher of the game; he has spent a lot of time teaching it - 30-plus years or so. I've always looked to him for guidance and he has always been great and telling me ways to diversify my game.
TB: Once your Cardinal career is finished, where are you thinking of playing professionally, or is pro hoop even on your list?
JO: I'd love to play pro basketball. Obviously, the NBA is a dream, playing here in the states. But if that doesn't work out, I wouldn't mind doing a bit of travelling for a few years. But after sitting out that year made me realize how much I definitely love the game. I definitely knew at that point that I wanted to play as long as I could because it could be taken away at any point.
TB: Once your playing career is finished, what do you see yourself doing?
JO: Possibly coming back here to do business school.
TB: The Mark Madsen path?
JO: Yeah, maybe the Mark Madsen path. He has been a great friend, getting to know him a little better these last couple of years. So yeah, I think that's a possibility, but who knows what will happen.
TB: What has his influence been on you?
JO: He has just been a great role model, watching his path. He played for some great Stanford teams here, went to the NBA and won a couple of championships, and then had the character to say "I'm not finished. There are more things I want to do." And he came back and he's working on his MBA now.
TB: Still making beats?
JO: A little bit here and there. Now that I'm in grad school, I don't necessarily have as much time to do that as I want. But yeah, when I get some free time, I like to play around on the computer and make some stuff.
TB: Who would you compare yourself to from a producer standpoint?
JO: It all depends on what I'm listening to at the time. But I like to do a little bit of sampling, so mix in some Kanye with maybe mixed with some Lex Luger, but I also like to make some more experimental, alternative-type stuff too.
TB: I'm taking it your goal is to win the Pac-12 tourney and go to the NCAAs. What would it mean to you to return to the NCAA tournament your last year?
JO: It would be full circle for me. Ever since the beginning of the season, I've kind of looked at this team and thought that it reminds me a lot of my freshman year, except that I'm in a complete role-reversal. I'm the fifth-year senior instead of the only freshman. So I think it would be great; I think our program for the last few years has been working really, really hard and we know that we can get there. We know we're capable of getting there and frankly I think that it's a very realistic goal for us, so it would be great and it would be a whole bunch of hard work being paid off.
TB: What was that like - being the only freshman on the team?
JO: Being the only freshman was rough, man *laughs*. At least that freshman summer, being the only freshman was rough. It didn't become clearer to me until the years that passed and I'd see other freshmen classes that would come in and the relationship that people had over freshman summer through that freshman year with a teammate that they knew "he always has my back; he's my go-to, I can hang out with him." I think I developed that relationship a little bit as I got older with Landry. But it's definitely something to be appreciated, and for Chasson, he's lucky that he has a couple of walk-ons he is kind of sharing the experience with. But I just said "always try to learn from the older guys," because they've been there before and you could always learn something from them.

Thanking Teachers, Paying it ForwardDeb Rox
I caught a hashtag on Twitter today that feels full of daybreak and rightness. I'll take it, the grace of a little breaking light in the waves of despair and sorrow that come attached to our relentless news cycle.
Some people, after bearing witness to the heroism of the teachers and administrators at Sandy Hook Elementary School, are honoring all teachers by naming today Thank a Teacher Day. You can read more about this idea or find a badge to post at Julieverse.
I like it. The truth is that teachers do save lives every day, and accept tremendous responsibility for children's safety. We hope few are called upon as heroically as those in Sandy Hook, but we know teachers are often in the fray of all of society's pervasive problems. Gang activity, street violence, domestic violence, bullying, child sexual abuse: the aftermath, if not the actual threat, all spills into their classrooms. Add to that hunger, acute poverty, mental illness. Looking out to a classroom of little ones looking forward, burdened by frequent need and the potential of danger, defines the life of many teachers.
I know for certain two teachers saved my life at critical emotional times. Mrs. O'Grady, in third grade, put book after book in my hand, stories that became the interior world that saved me from an otherwise damaging childhood. And Ms. Groth, my high school journalism teacher, told me I could be a writer and a publisher. That childhood damage had caught up with me and I was, as they say, acting out in rebellion, but she saw through it. She believed in me and gave me a junior year leadership role on our yearbook. I ran away from home that spring, and when I returned I expected to have lost the few things that mattered to me, including participating in publications. But Ms. Groth promoted me to editor my senior year, despite those problems, and promised to help me turn it all around. She saved me. I have so much gratitude for their work every day, and for the lifelong help they offered me.
We can reach back with thank you notes to those teachers that lifted us up, and we can pay it forward. One way to pay it forward is to fund projects on Donor's Choose, so I'm going to do that later today when I feel myself tempted towards looking for more news about Sandy Hook. I can't imagine what other soundbites I need to know, and I can't imagine that anything I find will help me understand. But finding ways to uplift schools, that feels like gratitude and healing in action.

A Growing War Over 'hanta Yo' Pits Chief Lame Deer & Wojo Vs. Ruth Beebe Hill & David Wolper
A $2 million class-action suit, filed on behalf of the Sioux people, claims that Hill's sweeping novel set at the turn of the 18th century is demeaning to the Plains Indians. The litigation seeks further to block production of any TV show based on Hanta Yo. Sioux activists have also tried to force the work out of bookstores and libraries and have picketed the author on the lecture circuit, waving signs like HILL HAS A TONTO COMPLEX. "The book is 90 to 95 percent inaccurate," charges Archie Lame Deer, 45, the chief and spiritual leader of one of the Lakotah Sioux tribes. What particularly disturbs Lame Deer is the inclusion-of some homosexual scenes and an incident in which a mother gives birth and then eats part of the placenta. A Hanta Yo TV series would, he says, "set us back 10 years, and encourage the false idea that we are savages." Among those helping the Sioux argue their case is Max Gail, a non-Indian who has become a latter-day Marlon Brando while starring as the cop Wojo in ABC's Barney Miller.
Writer Hill, 66, a descendant of the Plymouth Colony and an ex-journalist, says she is baffled by the attacks on the "documented novel" she devoted 30 years to researching. "I was in touch with 700 Indians—Sioux, Kiowa, Omaha, Cheyenne, even Navajo, you name it—and I showed many what I had written." Most of the material, Hill insists, was verified by four sources. Indeed, some scholars have defended the book, including Barbara Adams, an Oglala Sioux who teaches Indian studies at Skagit Valley College in Mount Vernon, Wash. And, of course, a Dakotah Sioux, Chunksa Yuha, 74, moved in with Hill and her husband in their home in Washington State and worked with her on the book the final 15 years.
Now Hill's Sioux critics charge that Chunksa is a fraud, an Episcopal deacon's son named Lorenzo Blacksmith who has lived most of his life off the reservation in places like Seattle and the San Fernando Valley. Hill acknowledges the Blacksmith name but contends it was imposed on her collaborator's father by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and that Chunksa spent all of his formative years being steeped in tribal history. "Mount St. Helens may have blown its top," sums up Hill (who lives 150 miles away from the volcano on Washington's San Juan Island), "but I'm not blowing mine. I would not rescind, refute, withdraw, compromise or apologize for one single word." Currently, though, Hill has stopped taking phone calls and is preparing a point-by-point rebuttal of the Sioux accusations.
Meanwhile, to placate the opposition, David Wolper has proposed to hire numerous Sioux consultants, crew members and actors for the miniseries. Other sweeteners were also held out, including the possibility of filming on tribal land for a fat location fee. Most important, the producer would submit all scripts for the approval of the Lakotah Sioux Treaty Council. Yet Lame Deer remains convinced that "we're getting the runaround from Wolper," and is still opposed to the project. "If he does this TV movie, he'll have the whole Indian nation against him," the chief vows. Wolper, far from giving up, has appealed to the Sioux and the world in a metaphor more common to the Plains than to Burbank. "A bush may have many thorns and yet produce a beautiful flower," says the producer. "The television show is the flower that will emerge from the book."

Deep freeze expected to continue to the weekend on East CoastBy CLARKE CANFIELD
The Associated Press | January 23,2013PORTLAND, Maine — A teeth-chattering cold wave with sub-zero temperatures was expected to keep its icy grip on much of the eastern U.S. into the weekend before seasonable temperatures bring relief.
A polar air mass that's been blamed for multiple deaths in the Midwest moved into the Northeast on Wednesday, prompting the National Weather Service to issue wind chill warnings across upstate New York and northern New England.
In northern Maine, the temperature dipped to as low as 36 below zero Wednesday morning. The weather service was calling for a wind chills as low as minus-45.
Keith Pelletier, the owner of Dolly's Restaurant in Frenchville, said his customers were dressed in multiple layers of clothing and were keeping their cars running in the parking lot while eating lunch. It's so cold that even the snowmobilers are staying home, he said.
"You take the wind chill at 39 below and take a snowmobile going 50 mph, and you're about double that," he said. "That's pretty cold."
The Canadian air mass that brought arctic air is being blamed for several deaths across the Midwest. It also forced schools to close, caused delays of commuter trains and subways, and kept plumbers busy with frozen pipes.
In New York City, food vendor Bashir Babury contended with bone-numbing cold when he set up his cart selling coffee, bagels and pastries at 3 a.m. Wednesday. On the coldest of days, he wears layers of clothing and cranks up a small propane heater inside his cart.
"I put on two, three socks, I have good boots and two, three jackets," he said. "A hat, gloves, but when I'm working I can't wear gloves."
In Pottsville, Pa., letter carrier Cheryl Vandermeer was stoic as she walked her route Wednesday with temperatures in the teens and wind chill in the single digits. She was thankful she had a job that kept her moving, even if it was outside.
"I'm not just standing around," she said. "So for me it's cold, but it's not intolerable."

Let's talk about death.
That doesn't appeal to you? You're probably in the majority, but there's a subset of people who long to share their thoughts about mortality, funerals, the afterlife, even their grief for their departed shih tzu, and have trouble finding anyone who doesn't try to change the subject.
Those are the people Rachel Zeldin, Simcha Raphael, and Bernadette Laster hope to reach with their new death cafes, salon-like gatherings where strangers can talk freely about all aspects of death while drinking coffee or tea and munching on pastries.
Death cafes are based on the ideas of Bernard Crettoz, a Swiss sociologist. They had made it to England by 2011 and were soon on their way to the United States, according to deathcafe.com, the mother organization of the "social franchise." It says 200 death cafes have been held in nine countries. There already have been death cafes in New York, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Washington, Ann Arbor, Mich., and even Westerville, Ohio, so Philadelphia has been a little slow to get on this bleak bandwagon.

When I first walked into Foster Parrots, Ltd. three years ago for a tour, I burst into tears. It was overwhelming to see so many animals that had lost their homes in some way or another, and to meet such an altruistic group of people. I also knew immediately I was home. As the founder Marc Johnson took me through the facility, he explained all the work they do with humane education, conservation, and rescue for exotic wildlife. In my entire life I had never seen such an operation that brings to light the devastating effect that human greed has created on nature, and the depth of knowledge and wisdom that the organization shares in an effort to bring a more compassionate awareness to the world.

Astros-Pirates: Coming to Grips with Reality
The Houston Astros are actually going to do it, aren't they? They're actually going to catch the Milwaukee Brewers and grab the wild card. The reality's coming. And I've got to come to grips with this.
You look at the stats, and you see that the Astros' record should be under five hundred. You look at the team and you see rejects like David Newhan, Geoff Blum and Jose Castillo getting start after start. You see a game like last night, with Alberto Arias making his first ever major league start while making his first MLB appearance in years, and you see him getting the win. You see Mark Saccomanno, the 28-year old making his first ever major league appearance. You see him hitting a home run in his first ever major league at bat. And you see Jose Valverde nailing down the 3-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates while at the same time the Brewers are blowing a 4-2 lead to the Cincinnati Reds, ultimately losing 5-4 and letting the Astros move to within five games with 18 games left in the season.
You see all of this, as I see all of this, and you know that logic and stats no longer have any meaning. The Houston Astros are going to win this thing, damn it. I just know this now. Resistance is futile.

The following films were showcased at the 2012 Life@50+ Movies for Grownups® Film Festival.
12:00 p.m.
Directed by Alexander Payne
Starring George Clooney, Shailene Woodley and Amara Miller
Rated R for language including some sexual references
In the Oscar-winning film The Descendants, a grieving husband played by George Clooney must deal with betrayal, mortality, and two high-spirited daughters. Writer-Director Alexander Payne's remarkable script — which won him an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay — miraculously walks the line between searing drama and delightful comedy.
2:30 p.m.
Directed by John Madden
Starring Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson and Maggie Smith
Rated PG-13 for sexual content and language throughout
An award-winning, all-star cast, led by Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson and Maggie Smith, lights up this "buoyant comedy laced with genuine emotion." (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone) When seven cash-strapped seniors decide to "outsource" their retirement to a resort in far-off India, friendship and romance blossom in the most unexpected ways. Smart, life-affirming and genuinely charming, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is a "true classic that reminds us that it's never too late to find love and a fresh beginning at any age." (Rex Reed, The New York Observer)
You are invited to experience high tea with a Marigold Hotel-inspired twist. Complimentary tea and light snacks will be served in rooms 283-285 of the New Orleans Convention Center from 12:00 p.m. –
2:30 p.m. prior to the screening of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
The refreshments are being provided by Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.**
** Space is limited and refreshments will be available while supplies last.
Exclusive Pre-Release Screening
5:30 p.m.
Directed by Andy Fickman
Written by Lisa Addario and Joe Syracuse
Produced by Billy Crystal, Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark
Starring Billy Crystal, Bette Midler, Marisa Tomei, Tom Everett Scott, Bailee Madison, Joshua Rush and Kyle Harrison Breitkopf
This film has not yet been rated
Old-school grandfather Artie (Billy Crystal), who is accustomed to calling the shots, meets his match when he and his eager-to-please wife Diane (Bette Midler) agree to babysit their three grandkids when their type-A helicopter parents (Marisa Tomei, Tom Everett Scott) go away for work. But when 21st century problems collide with Artie and Diane's old-school methods of tough rules, lots of love and old-fashioned games, they bring the family together by embracing the best of both worlds.
Spoiler Alert! Billy Crystal will introduce and discuss the film with the director, Andy Fickman, and other cast members.
9:00 a.m.
Written and Directed by Nicholas Jarecki
Starring Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Tim Roth, Brit Marling, Laetitia Casta and Nate Parker
Rated R for language, brief violent images and drug use
Arbitrage, the feature directing debut of writer Nicholas Jarecki, is a taut and alluring suspense thriller about love, loyalty and high finance. When we first meet New York hedge-fund magnate Robert Miller (Richard Gere) on the eve of his 60th birthday, he appears the very portrait of success in American business and family life. But behind the gilded walls of his mansion, Miller is in over his head, desperately trying to complete the sale of his trading empire to a major bank before the depths of his fraud are revealed.
Struggling to conceal his duplicity from loyal wife Ellen (Susan Sarandon) and brilliant daughter and heir apparent Brooke (Brit Marling), Miller's also balancing an affair with French art dealer Julie Cote (Laetitia Casta). Just as he's about to unload his troubled empire, an unexpected bloody error forces him to juggle family, business and crime with the aid of Jimmy Grant (Nate Parker), a face from Miller's past. One wrong turn ignites the suspicions of NYPD Detective Michael Bryer (Tim Roth), who will stop at nothing in his pursuits. Running on borrowed time, Miller is forced to confront the limits of his moral duplicity. Will he make it out before the bubble bursts?
Pre-Release Screening
12:00 p.m.
Directed by Julian Farino
Written by Jay Reiss and Ian Helfer
Starring Hugh Laurie, Catherine Keener, Oliver Platt, Allison Janney, Alia Shawkat, Adam Brody and Leighton Meester
Rated R for language including sexual references and some drug use
David and Paige Walling (Hugh Laurie, Catherine Keener) and Terry and Cathy Ostroff (Oliver Platt, Allison Janney) are best friends and neighbors living on Orange Drive in suburban New Jersey. Their comfortable existence goes awry when prodigal daughter Nina Ostroff (Leighton Meester), newly broken up with her fiancé Ethan (Sam Rosen), returns home for Thanksgiving after a five-year absence. Rather than developing an interest in the successful son of her neighbors, Toby Walling (Adam Brody), which would please both families, it's her parents' best friend, David, who captures Nina's attention.
When the connection between Nina and David becomes undeniable, everyone's lives are thrown into upheaval, particularly that of Vanessa Walling (Alia Shawkat), Nina's childhood best friend. It's not long before the ramifications of the affair begin to work on all of the family members in unexpected and hilarious ways, leading everyone to reawaken to their lives, reassess what it means to be happy and realize that sometimes what looks like a disaster turns out to be the thing we need.
3:00 p.m.
Directed by Stephen Kessler
Starring Paul Williams
Rated PG-13 for drug references and brief strong language
If you were around in the 1970s, and even if you weren't, you probably know Paul Williams. He wrote classic songs such as "We've Only Just Begun," "Evergreen" and "Rainbow Connection." He starred in Smokey and the Bandit and was a guest on Johnny Carson's couch. And then, he disappeared.
Quite by accident, lifelong fan and director Stephen Kessler learned that Paul Williams was still with us. But when Kessler set out to make a documentary, Williams wasn't interested at all. With Kessler never giving up and Williams always trying to get away from the camera, the results are a documentary that is more like a buddy comedy than a "whatever happened to" both funny and moving.
Paul Williams Still Alive is both a rollicking pop-culture flashback filled with great television and performance clips, and the humorous journey of an awkward documentarian and his reluctant subject. Yet it ultimately evolves into the touching tale of a man who has made peace with the beast that fame and celebrity awoke.
Spoiler Alert! Oscar and Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter
Paul Williams will appear live with director Stephen Kessler to discuss the film after the screening.

vVv Gaming Presents: ADL Season 10! 08/12/2016TL;DR: Season 10 of the vVv Gaming LoL ADL begins Friday, August 19th @9pm EST/6pm PST! Discord Info Just be on Discord at the check in time and have a level 30 with at least 16 champions to participate! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vVv Gaming has had a long history in competitive e-sports; and, while the LCS may be a long way off for the organization, we can still participate in semi-competitive LoL activities as a community. The ADL has, and will continue to be, our main way to achieve this. However, let's be honest, the ADL has had a rough time over the past few seasons. This comes from both participant enjoyment, as well as coordination and structuring of the event as a whole. While I do not plan on completely fixing the system from the start, I do believe that there are some short (and long) term changes that can make the experience better for everyone: · We are keeping participation points for this season, as well as the Elo ranking system used for previous seasons. · We will have people recruiting more in the game from the community, and attempt to bring more LoL community members to the discord that we feel would be good for the vVv community. · We will be implementing new rules for the drafting phase. Some of these rules will be introduced as the season progresses and are covered below. · Unfortunately, at this point in time, there is no information regarding a prize. If a viable prize method/opportunity comes about in the future, current season winners will be rewarded retroactively. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rules and Details (Read if new): Nights will consist of two matches per night. You must be able to attend both games (Don't be that guy, play it out). Be on Discord NO LATER than 8:55pm EST/5:55pm PST for Check In. This will be slowly changed to 8:45pm EST as the season progresses. We want the drafting phase this season to be as smooth as possible. We want to give people time to announce their roles before hand. Check in will happen in the ADL Check In Discord Channel BEFORE players move to the regular ADL channel, and at 9:00pm EST people will move to channels matching their Dynamic Queue rank. Missing the check-in deadline means that you will not be able to participate that night and will not receive a participation point. During the Check In, participants will announce their top 3 preferred roles for a staff member to place in a spreadsheet (Discord does not allow for your descriptions to be changed, that I am aware of). Have a level 30 account, at least 16 champions, and be ready to have some fun! Additional Questions? Contact vVv Eternal or vVv Yui The ADL will last for 10 weeks this season, there will then be a three-week break before the next season starts (Currently scheduled for Nov. 11, 2016). Cheating or Smurfing in the ADL is not permitted. Anyone caught doing either of these this will be suspended from the ADL, no exceptions. Cheating will result in a permanent suspension, smurfing will result in a 5-week suspension. New Drafting Process: So, in previous seasons of the ADL, the highest ranked players were given the priority in being team captains for any given night. While this was not a bad system, it did leave some players feeling left out over the course of the season. That being said: · Highest ranked players will no longer be automatically chosen as the team captain. · Team captains will be chosen by the number of participation points that a player has (you earn 1 point for each night you attend, REGARDLESS of whether or not you are picked). · No player can be captain more than once every 4 weeks (depending on overall participation). · The first weekend will have captains from an arbitrary division and lower. So here is my logic (bear with me). With some outlying cases, most of the team captains would pick from highest available skill in a role down, until all of the top players (and a few peoples friends) were picked. I don't expect this to change at all; however, this allows for both new and lower skill level players and community members, as well as frequent participants, to always have a shot at playing. They also get the benefit of knowing (eventually) in advance that they will be captains. Additional Information: I would like to try and address the speed of the drafting process. For now, the primary way of doing this will be the check-in time; however, if another feasible method is suggested, any changes will be updated in this section. After the Games: · Players will join the winning team's discord channel, and all players will be given feedback if they desire it. · Players may also provide criticism and suggestions for the ADL. (We are still seeking to improve the event if the community desires it) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More Darn Rules · Teams will still be matched by alphabetical order of Discord channel for the time being. · The winner of the first match will play the winner of the second (both matches are played out simultaneously), and the same goes for the losing teams. · The higher team alphabetically will be chosen to be on the blue side for the first game, and the lower team will get blue side when the second game is played. Leaving/AFK: If someone leaves a game for any reason and does not reconnect, they will be given a 2-night suspension from the ADL. The player may appeal the suspension with an ADL Staff member if there was a legitimate reason for the disconnect. However, all appeals must happen at least 24 hours before the next ADL event. You also may only appeal a disconnect once per season. Pausing: Players may pause the game for UP TO 10 minutes if a player on their team is having connection issues. PLAYERS MUST INFORM AN ADL STAFF MEMBER IF A GAME IS PAUSED. If the reason cannot be resolved in 10 minutes, the team whose player disconnected will concede the match. If the enemy team agrees, they may also use their 10-minute pause to give the other team more time. Teams only get two pauses per game. Replacement Players: Player replacement will be handled the same as in previous seasons. A player may be replaced by another player of the same rank or lower, provided both teams agree to the replacement. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So that's it folks. Thank you for sticking through the whole announcement, we understand it is somewhat lengthy, however the information had to be provided. You are now ready for the 10th season of the ADL! If you have any questions feel free to contact vVv Eternal See you on Friday, August 19th at 8:55pm EST/6:00pm PST! ADL Staff: vVv Eternal To join the discussion click here!

While Word's Normal template appears to offer enough styles to cover any purpose, you might find a need to create a brand- new style in your document. Let's take a look at how you can do this. Now Two Trees Olive Oil Company wants every instance of the company name to appear in bold, small caps, olive green text. The company uses its formatting so much that the style will likely save a lot of formatting effort when creating documents. Let's create that style from scratch. Now if the Style pane isn't already showing, it is here, but if it's not showing, pull down the View menu and choose Styles and that will get it to display.
Then click the New Style button in the Styles pane to display the New Style dialog. Creating a style requires you to provide information about the style in this dialog. We want to start with a style name. We're going to call it Two Trees. The style type is Character, because it will be applied to selected characters of text, not to entire paragraphs. So I want to make sure I choose Character here. If another style exists that's similar to the one you want to define, you can choose it from the Style based on pop- up menu and you can see there's a whole bunch of character styles listed here.
In our case, we want to base it on the Default Paragraph Font, which is already selected. Now if this were a paragraph style, we could choose a style for Word to automatically apply to the following paragraph when the style is used. For example, a heading style would be followed by the normal style or a body text style, but that doesn't apply here, so we can't change it and that's why this menu is gray. Next we want to specify the formatting that makes this style different from the one it's based on. We don't want to change the font or size, so we will just leave that blank.
We do want to make it bold so we'll click the Bold button. We also want to change the font color to make it olive green, so we could pull down this menu and choose the color we want. Now in our case it's already selected, because the insertion point in the document happens to be on a paragraph with the color applied. But if it's not applied, just select it and make sure that it is. Small caps doesn't appear in this dialog, so we need to choose Font from the Format pop-up menu. That's this right here, and then in the font dialog that appears, we want to turn on the Small caps checkbox. Let's click OK to save that change and that wraps up the Formatting options that we want to set.
Now if you want to add this new style to the Normal template, so it's available in all the documents you create based on the Normal template from this point forward, you want to make sure you turn on this checkbox, Add to template. You can also leave the Add to Quick Style list checkbox turned on if you use that feature a lot. When you're all done, click OK. You could see that the style is added to the list right here. To apply the style, let's select some text and click the style name in the list. So let's give this a try, Two Trees Olive Oil, for company name.
Select it and it applies it and we could do that again here with Two Trees Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Apply that there and we can apply it throughout the document. Here it is again, one more time there. Now to ensure that the style is saved to the Normal template you need to quit Word. When you quit Word, you might see a dialog indicating that the Normal template is being saved. When you start Word again, and you open a blank document, you'll see that the Two Trees style is listed in the list.
Once you've created a style, you can modify it like any other style and I explained how to do that in the previous video. You can also delete a style that you created. In the Styles list just select the style and then choose Delete from its menu. Word asks, so are you sure you want to delete that style? You click Yes, and what it does is it returns all the formatting in that document with that style back to the normal text style. So you can see Word gives you complete flexibility over creating, modifying and deleting custom styles.
I think that once you start using styles regularly, you'll rely on them more and more to format your documents.

Dear Dr. Gott: I have had great success with your no-flour, no-sugar diet. You have indicated that natural sugar from fruit is OK. I drink 100 percent cranberry juice, and the label states that the ingredients are 100 percent fruit juices from grapes, cranberries and apples (water, juice concentrates), natural flavors, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and citric acid. The nutrition facts state the product contains 35 grams of sugar, which I assume is natural fruit sugar. I drink many glasses daily but now wonder whether I have been inadvertently consuming added sugar and not natural fruit sugar.
Dear Reader: Natural fruit sugar, known as fructose, is an acceptable component to your diet, as long as your doctor has not indicated otherwise. The sugars listed on your nutrition facts label indicate the natural fruit sugar. If there were added sugar, known as sucrose, it would be listed on the ingredients panel. You are not consuming excess sucrose.
My only concern about your consumption of "many glasses daily" is that you are taking in extra calories. Each 8-ounce serving of your juice contains 140 calories. If you drink four glasses a day, that amounts to 560 calories, more than one-quarter of an average person's daily caloric requirement of 2,000. That means that you should then consume only 1,440 calories throughout the rest of the day. If you have three meals a day, that's 480 calories per meal. If you have snacks, that number will be further reduced.
My suggestion to you would be to reduce your juice and increase your water consumption. If you do not like plain water, try herbal tea or no-sugar-added flavored waters. In this way, you can take in adequate fluids without the unnecessary calories.
However, this topic brings up a pet peeve of mine: misleading labels. You included the juice label with your letter that states "100% Cranberry" in large, bold print, but in much smaller print below this, in an area often ignored by consumers, it then states "flavored juice blend from concentrate with added ingredients." The label even has pictures of actual cranberries on it.
If the product is labeled "100% Cranberry," it should be made from cranberries only. If it contains other fruit juices, it clearly isn't 100 percent cranberry juice. The other additives listed on the label are preservatives and additional flavorings that add shelf life and make the product taste better The nation's diet concerns would be better served by making the nutrition and ingredient labels easier to read and understand.

Raising concerns and resolving complaints
From time to time parents, and others connected with the school, will become aware of matters which cause them concern. To encourage resolution of such situations the Governing Body has adopted a "Complaints Procedure".
The procedure is devised with the intention that it will:
- Usually be possible to resolve problems by informal means
- Be simple to use and understand
- Be non-adversarial
- Provide confidentiality
- Allow problems to be handled swiftly
- Address all the points at issue
- Inform future practice so that the problem is unlikely to recur.
Full details of the procedure may be obtained here or from the School Reception.Back To Top

TV Ratings: 'Once Upon a Time' premieres strong, while World Series, NFL lead Sunday
FOX baseball wins Sunday as viewers shun Saints rout
Saddled with a second consecutive rout, NBC's Sunday Night Football took another big drop this week, falling behind FOX's World Series coverage, which led Sunday night in all key measures.
Meanwhile, on the scripted side of things, ABC got a strong premiere for "Once Upon a Time, which didn't just deliver its own happy ending, but also gave "Desperate Housewives" a boost. "Once Upon a Time" couldn't help 10 p.m. drama "Pan Am," however, as the freshman series continued to struggle.
On to the numbers...
Among adults 18-49, FOX averaged a 4.4 rating for the night, topping NBC's 3.8 rating in the key demographic. There was a big drop to ABC's 2.6 rating and then to the 2.3 rating for CBS.
Overall, FOX averaged an estimated 14.615 million viewers in primetime to go with an 8.8 rating/14 share. CBS was second with a 6.7/10 and 10.49 million viewers. That left normal Sunday champ NBC in a dismal third overall with a 5.9/9 and 9.57 million viewers, still beating out ABC's 5.3/8 and nearly 8.6 million viewers.
7 p.m. - FOX started primetime in first with 17.64 million viewers and a 5.8 rating among adults 18-49 for NFL overrun and postgame coverage. CBS was second with the 12.65 million viewers and 2.5 key demo rating for "60 Minutes," which was boosted by roughly 20 minutes of NFL overrun in a handful of major markets. ABC's "America's Funniest Home Videos" averaged 6.61 million viewers beating the 5.32 million for NBC's "Football Night in America."
8 p.m. - The start of FOX's coverage of World Series Game 3 between the Rangers and Cardinals averaged 13.99 million viewers to win the 8 p.m. hour overall, along with a second place 4.0 rating among adults 18-49. ABC's "Once Upon a Time" averaged 12.79 million viewers for second overall and while the drama's 3.9 key demo rating was third for the hour, it finished second for each half-hour. NBC's football pregame and Saints-Colts kickoff averaged 11.34 million viewers and a 4.4 key demo rating. On CBS, "The Amazing Race" averaged 9.91 million viewers and a 2.7 key demo rating.
9 p.m. - FOX's baseball averaged 13.72 million viewers to win the 9 p.m. hour and finished second with a 3.9 rating among adults 18-49. NBC's football was second overall with 12.09 million viewers and won the hour with a 4.9 key demo rating. "The Good Wife" was third overall for CBS with 9.61 million viewers and finished fourth with a 2.0 key demo rating. ABC was fourth overall with the 9.22 million viewers for "Desperate Housewives" and third with a 3.0 key demo rating.
10 p.m. - Though it was airing out of FOX's primetime window, baseball averaged 13.11 million viewers and a 4.0 rating among adults 18-49 for the 10 p.m. hour. CBS' "CSI: Miami" was second overall with 9.8 million viewers, but third with a 2.1 key demo rating. With the Saints beating up on the Colts, NBC's football slipped to 9.53 million viewers and a 4.1 key demo rating. ABC's "Pan Am" averaged 5.77 million viewers and a 1.8 key demo rating, nearly identical to last week's totals.
All ratings information comes from preliminary Fast National Nielsen data, which includes live and same-day DVR viewing. All numbers are subject to change, particularly in the case of live events.

Bachelor of Applied Science
Awarded by the College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences
160 Agriculture Building
Phone: (307) 766-4034, Fax: (307) 766-4030
Website: http://www.uwyo.edu/basa/
Organizations need leaders at all levels who can effectively understand the environment and society in which they operate; analyze situations and solve problems; supervise and manage, interact and communicate appropriately within and outside the organization; anticipate change; and plan for the future. The Bachelor of Applied Science degree (BAS) is designed for individuals with a minimum of two years' work experience who have completed an Associate of Applied Science, Associate of Science, Associate of Business or an Associate of Arts degree at a Wyoming Community College (or an equivalent degree at another accredited institution) and who need or desire the additional breadth in skills, knowledge, and professional expertise to enhance their capabilities in their own careers and in the organizations in which they work.
The fundamental philosophy of the B.A.S. degree is that the student must complete the general education (University Studies Program - USP) requirements expected of all UW bachelor's degrees and must engage in upper-division coursework sufficient to provide focus and depth of learning. Following this philosophy, the B.A.S. has four basic components. These components are university studies, career specialty, professional concentration, and electives. The fundamental elements of the baccalaureate degree are provided by the general education core (USP) and the upper division professional concentration. At the end of the program, students are expected to meet the following Student Learning Outcomes:
- to develop proficiency in accessing, evaluating and utilizing information and ideas;
- to gain an appreciation for civic engagement as a mechanism for individual, organizational and community problem solving;
- to gain an appreciation for civic engagement as a mechanism for individual, organization and community problem solving;
- to demonstrate the ability to acquire, evaluate and utilize information and data;
- to demonstrate an understanding of organizational design, behavior, ethical practices, and effective managerial and supervisory practices;
- to gain and understanding of social, cultural, economic and environmental contexts essential for effective leadership and the management of change.
The University Studies Program (USP 2015) consists of a minimum of 27 credit hours as adopted by the UW faculty, and the Articulation Agreement between UW and the Wyoming Community Colleges. Students with an Associate of Applied Science degree from a Wyoming community college will normally matriculate with 15-20 hours of credit that count toward this component. The remainder may be required as part of a UW student's coursework, including the Professional Concentration or Electives coursework.
The Career Specialty Component is fulfilled with the Associate of Applied Science, the Associate of Science, or Associate of Arts degrees. This component will consist of a minimum of 40 credit hours in the major.
The Professional Concentration Component is the advanced component of the program and the courses are selected by the student and the advisor. All students are required to take a range of courses from the prescribed set of areas of concentration within this component in order to provide them with the breadth and depth of learning necessary for a baccalaureate degree. This component will consist of 36-40 upper division or articulated equivalent credit hours. Note: Within the Professional Concentration, students have a choice between two Organizational Leadership areas. Option A focuses on Community Leadership; Option B focuses on Business Leadership.
The Elective Component will consist of the number of credit hours needed (after completing the other three components) to complete the degree components. A minimum of 120 hours is required for the B.A.S.
All University of Wyoming Students must earn a total of 42 upper division hours (at least 30 hours taken from UW), to earn their degree. Students in the B.A.S. program must earn a "C" in all courses on the B.A.S. checklist. Failure to do so will require repeating the course. Per university regulations, students may only attempt a course three times; an "F" or "W" count as attempts.
Application Process
All students must apply to the Bachelor of Applied Science program, including those who would like to change their major to the B.A.S. in Organizational Leadership. Students cannot just fill out a change of major form and have Admissions change their status.
These are the steps for application:
- Apply to the University of Wyoming through Admissions, declaring the Bachelor of Applied Science in Organizational Leadership.
- Have official transcripts from all institutions attended sent to Admissions.
- Email email@example.com when you have received your acceptance to UW. Include your W# in the message. We can then track your files to evaluate them for the BAS program.
- Send your resume to firstname.lastname@example.com via email attachment.
- Students will receive a letter telling the application decision. If a student is denied admission to the BAS, an explanation for the denial will be provided. If accepted, the student will be given information for how to work with the program advisor, Rosalind Grenfell (firstname.lastname@example.com), to enroll in classes.
Application Deadlines
- Students desiring to enter for Fall semester must have a completed application including transcripts received and loaded, acceptance to UW, and resume submitted by July 15th.
- Students desiring to enter for Summer must have all materials submitted by March 15th.
- Students desiring to enter for Spring must have all materials submitted by November 1st.
Organizational Leadership Major
This program is available by distance delivery only. Entry into the program requires an application process. Students must apply for admission to UW first. Official transcripts from all institutions attended must be submitted to UW Admissions. Entry into this program requires an existing associate's degree plus a resume showing at least two years of work experience. Once a student has applied and their transcripts have been received, Kerry Casper (firstname.lastname@example.com) should be notified and resume sent directly to them. Transcripts will not be analyzed prior to application.
All students pursuing a bachelor's of applied science degree in Organizational Leadership are required to complete: a) University Studies Program (USP) requirements and b) courses within the program checklist. While students may move through the program at a pace that works for them, the checklist will illustrate a path for those who wish to complete the degree in two years. Students must complete coursework from Option A or Option B as part of their degree requirements.
The University Studies Program (USP) ensures that each student's program includes the elements essential to a lifetime of personal and professional growth: habits of mind, practices of active citizenship, and development of intellectual skills. The USP program requires students to develop skills that include the ability to express oneself in speech and writing; to locate, evaluate and effectively use information; and to examine problems from quantitative, qualitative, and scientific perspectives. The USP requirements will be approximately 30 credit hours of your overall degree program.
All courses within the Bachelor of Applied Science must be completed with a grade of C or better. If you do not pass the course with a grade of C or better after three attempts you will be dismissed from your organizational leadership major.
The requirements for your program are listed in this check sheet. It is important to understand course sequencing (when courses are offered) and prerequisites (other courses that must be taken first). Each student has an assigned advisor, Rosalind Grenfell (email@example.com) . You will be advised each semester. It is important that you work closely with your advisor to plan your course schedule.
