Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer has debuted at number one in the US box office taking an estimated $57.4 million (£28.9 million) in its first weekend.
The latest instalment in the superhero franchise sees the original cast return to do battle with the mysterious Silver Surfer - an alien capable of destroying the earth.
US moviegoers obviously felt this was an improvement on the last offering, as Silver Surfer's takings just slightly pipped the last Fantastic Four movie by just over $1 million (£500,000).
Ocean's 13 retained second place in the chart after George Clooney and Brad Pitt's heist thriller raced to number one in its first week.
The slick casino drama took $19.1 million (£9.6 million) in its second week at the box office, holding off competition from the ever-present Knocked Up - a comedy about a woman who becomes pregnant after a one-night stand.
Smaller movies well received by critics are often staying high on the box office for longer; something that the president of box-office tracker Media by Numbers - which compiled the latest figures - thinks is a pattern.
Paul Dergarabedian told the Associated Press news agency: "A lot of films are doing what these big summer movies do, open big and drop off fast."
Two huge summer blockbusters, Pirates Of The Caribbean 3 and Shrek the Third, have both slipped to fourth and sixth place respectively since crashing high into the box office.
But Spider-Man 3, one of the other big releases of 2007, has hung on well and remains in the top ten.

Win7 support for Seagate disk
In Win7 RTM I have had trouble with one of my two HDs, a Seagate 300 GB. During Win7 installation, installer "could not find drivers" when the Seagate was the first SATA drive. Once the Western Digital drive was set as the first drive, system installed ok. After installation, the Seagate shows in the Disk Management as 300 GB, but if look at contents with Explorer, it has only 125 GB capacity. Can this be a Seagate firmware problem? (Win7 RC earlier had no problems with this drive when the system had Win7RC + Vista + XP.)

How Well Can We Target Resources with "Quick-and-Dirty" Data?: Empirical Results from Cambodia
Poverty reduction is a top priority for international organizations, governments and non-governmental organizations. The aid resources available for poverty reduction are, however, severely constrained in many countries. Minimizing the leakage of aid resources to the non-poor is a key to maximize poverty reduction with limited amount of resources availble. One way to minimize such leakage is to target resources geographically. That is, policymakers can move resources to the poorest parts of the country. Geographic targeting can be quite effective when poverty is unevenly distributed across the country, and this proves to be the case in many countries.

Bay Central won over fences at Hereford last month but doesn't look particularly well handicapped back over hurdles, though this is an extremely modest contest.

Here's the thing about Goldman Sachs: even when it's bad, it's good. The US investment bank – which appears to be admired, envied and reviled in almost equal measure – is in talks with the Federal Housing Finance Agency to settle claims it sold dicey mortgage-backed securities in the lead-up to the credit crunch.
The fine is likely to cost Goldmans between $800m (£470m) and $1.25bn according to a report in The Wall Street Journal over the weekend. Even at the lower end of that range, it would eclipse the largest fine in the investment bank's history: the $550m settlement agreed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2010 for a particularly benighted piece of mortgage-related chicanery called Abacus.
Students of financial shenanigans will remember this as the synthetic collateralised debt obligation put together by Goldmans employee Fabrice "Fabulous Fab" Tourre and subsequently shorted by hedge fund manager John Paulson. The problem? Goldmans failed to tell Abacus investors that Mr Paulson had had a hand in deciding which loans went in the CDO.
The SEC even managed to extract an admission from Goldmans that the investment bank had made "a mistake" in how it had marketed Abacus.
But here's the thing: even if this time it faces a fine of around $1bn, this, although unarguably big, would be as nothing compared with the penalties which have been have been handed out to some of Goldmans' rivals.
The FHFA got Bank of America Merrill Lynch to pay $6bn and made it buy back some mortgage securities. Citigroup recently got slapped with a $7bn settlement by the US Department of Justice for ignoring warnings that some of the loans it was turning into securities had a decided whiff about them and for keeping some rather important information from its investors.
Earlier this month, BNP Paribas had to pay nearly $9bn and plead guilty to a criminal charge for helping clients to evade US sanctions. The French bank was also banned from conducting US dollar-clearing transactions for a year, which – in terms of potential business lost – will probably end up being the harsher punishment.
And then there is the big one: towards the end of last year JPMorgan had to cough up a massive $13bn (unlucky for some), including $4bn related to issues around mortgage securities.
Bank of America, Citigroup, BNP Paribas and JPMorgan are all universal banks which offer a wider range of services than a pure-play investment bank such as Goldmans and therefore have the potential to get into bigger trouble when things go wrong.
But even Morgan Stanley, a more comparable rival, settled its FHFA suit for $1.25bn in February. And that's the other thing: Goldmans still hasn't paid its fine. It is at present fighting various aspects of the case in the courts, so it might yet take some months.
All the while, a form of fine-apathy appears to be setting in. Analysts, investors and the general public are becoming inured to tales of the increasingly mind-boggling sums being paid by banks. The settlement, when it comes, might result in a record fine for Goldmans. But the chances are that the market will find it hard to summon up the energy even to give a shrug of indifference and the bank's share price will barely register a blip.
Goldmans will no doubt argue that its behaviour wasn't as egregious as that of its rivals; as an investment bank it deals less with regular investors – the market participants which regulators are quite rightly keenest to protect from Wall Street machinations; and one also rather suspects that Goldmans employs some of New York and Washington's better lawyers.
It is an open question which of these elements have contributed to the investment bank's relatively smaller and much later fine. But the fact remains, Goldman Sachs even manages its comeuppances better than its rivals.
New airlines bring a welcome wind of change
There's something in the air. Welcome news landed over the weekend that Switzerland's Mantegazza family is looking to sell a stake in the budget carrier Monarch Airlines, and that Aena Aeropuertos, the Spanish state-backed operator of airports including Luton, is preparing to float.
The whys and the wherefores of these particular deals are perhaps less important than the bigger picture: the markets are, one hopes, reopening for the sector.
It was only last month that Wizz Air, the Hungarian budget carrier, pulled its initial public offering and Aer Lingus issued its second profit warning in a year.
Announcing its decision, Budapest-based Wizz Air cited "the current volatility in the airline sector" after a spike in oil prices in the wake of escalating troubles in Iraq. Aer Lingus's travails are founded in industrial action, which has resulted in travellers flying with other carriers.
Wizz Air, which is only 10 years old, is – along with the likes of Vueling and Norwegian Air Shuttle – among the new guard of European budget airlines that have been established to challenge the virtual duopoly in the region enjoyed by Ryanair and easyJet.
The dominance of those two businesses in Europe is only likely to increase if the interest that Ryanair has recently shown in troubled Cyprus Airways, which was confirmed by Ryanair chief Michael O'Leary last week, comes to fruition. The Cypriot government is hoping to sell its 93pc stake in the flagship carrier in order to boost the troubled Mediterranean island's coffers.
The last thing that the likes of Wizz Air, Monarch, Vueling and Norwegian Air Shuttle need as they take on easyJet and an increasingly ambitious Ryanair is for their access to capital markets funding to be cut off.
The fact that Monarch's owners believe that the climate is right to look for owners and that the Aena Aeropuertos is happy to chance its arm at a flotation suggest that the market might look more favourably on the capital requests of other budget operators. Hopefully this will give them the financial wherewithal to take on their more established rivals and, who knows, maybe in time some of the longer-haul operators too.

Maca For Health
Discover The Benefits of Maca Root
What is Peruvian Maca?
The Peruvian Maca is a root plant that is native to Peru in South America. This plant is also known as Ayuk
Willku and its scientific name Lepidium peruvianum.
It grows in an altitude of 7,000 to 11,000 feet, making it one of the highest altitude plants in the world. This
plant has been used for centuries by the indigenous people of Peru as herbal medicine. These ancient peoples are
proven right in using this root plant for treatment because modern studies have confirmed that it contains
substantial amounts of amino acids and several vitamins including B2, B12, C, D and E. This root plant also has a
number of important minerals like zinc, phosphorous, calcium, iron and magnesium. It also contains several
This plant has a turnip-like appearance with leaves that are bushy green and a root that looks like beet with
the color of yellow or purple. Traditionally, and even today, it is the maca root that is used. Upon harvesting, it
is dried and powdered. It is then taken orally either in powder or capsule form. The Peruvian Maca induces tonic
effects on the biochemical functioning of the body. This is how it affects our system when used as a nutritional
Benefits of Peruvian Maca
Although Peruvian Maca can benefit both men and women, there are also distinct benefits that this root plant can
give to both sexes. Below are the different benefits Maca root can give to men and women.
Benefits for Men:
• Induces sperm production and enhances fertility
• Balances male hormones
• Increases energy
• Improves and corrects sexual dysfunction
• Improves athletic performance and increases stamina for physical activities
• Strengthens and nourishes glandular system
• Encourages emotional and physical well being
• Improve mental focus and clarity
Benefits for Women:
• Stimulates sexual function
• Alleviates mood swings caused by Pre-Menstrual Syndrome
• Relieves hot flashes (related to PMS)
• Balances female hormones
• Strengthens and nourishes glandular system
• Increases energy
• Acts like HRT (hormone replacement therapy)
• Improves stamina and athletic performance
Side Effects of Peruvian Maca
Generally, there should be no problem with the use of Peruvian Maca as a health supplement. If taken according
to its recommended dosage, there should be no side effects. But when taken in undue amounts it could cause a host
of problems like hyper activity, digestive disorders, insomnia, thyroid complications, etc. Some of the risks
observed by those administering Peruvian Maca to patients are allergic reactions like skin hives, shortness of
breath and chest pains. It is very important for you to stick to a reasonable intake of Peruvian Maca to avoid any
unwanted side effects.
Standard Dosages of Peruvian Maca
Your dosage of Peruvian Maca will depend on what health condition you are trying to improve on. Since this
supplement is very strong, the typical method is to start small and work up your dosage until you get to the
standard level. In general, one teaspoon of Maca powder per day for the first week will help build your resistance
and should be enough for you not to get sick. On the second week, you can increase your intake to two teaspoons.
Later, on your third week, you can increase it to three teaspoons per day. You have now reached your ideal daily
intake. For the right dosages in order to treat specific health problems, you should consult your physician for
safety purposes.
Uses for Peruvian Maca
Since Peruvian Maca contains beneficial elements, alternative health practitioners have used it to alleviate the
medical conditions of both men and women. Below are some of the most notable uses of this supplement.
Important Uses for Women
Peruvian Maca is mainly used to treat the symptoms of PMS in women. Women who have used this substance have
reported a dramatic reduction in their hot flashes and night sweats. This substance balances hormone levels. If a
woman is estrogen dominant, Maca will induce the production of more progesterone. The result is a balancing of the
hormone levels, giving relief from the uncomfortable symptoms of PMS. Maca will also maintain the efficient
functioning of your endocrine system which will be of great help as you pass through this menopausal period. In
relation to this, Maca also acts as a good alternative hormone replacement therapy because women who use it find
that they no longer need hormone supplements during this time.
Important Uses For Men
Men have used Maca in several ways but the most popular use for them is to enhance fertility and sexual
functions. It increases their stamina during strenuous physical activities and boosts their libido and sex drive.
The substance also produces the feeling of well being. Maca also contains natural substances that can stimulate the
pituitary and hypothalamus. These glands are the triggers for the testes among other organs, to function
efficiently. In this capacity, Maca can induce an increase in the production of sperm in a matter of days.

January 2017
Host a Burns Supper!
January 25th marks the annual celebration of Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns (1759-1796). Tributes to the man and his art are held around the world on this night in the form of the 'Burns Supper'. The first recorded supper was held in 1801 around the anniversary of the Bard's death by a small group of friends and acquaintances. The suppers are now held annually on the date of his birth, January 25th.
Burns Suppers, theoretically, are meant to be informal with an air of rustic simplicity -- romantic ideals of Highland life which Burns extolled in his poetry. However, modern Burns Suppers vary in style and level of formality according to the hosting group's vision. They can be as simple as a party held at a local pub, or as formal as a black tie affair. Regardless, there are certain ritual elements which must be included to make it a true Burns Supper...
After the guests have gathered, the host will say a few words of introduction. After everyone is seated, the host or another speaker will recite the Lowland Scots 'Selkirk Grace', also known as the 'Galloway Grace' or the 'Covenanters' Grace':
Some hae meat and canna eat, And some wad eat that want it;But we hae meat, and we can eat, Sae let the Lord be thankit.And sae the Lord be thankit
Burns is said to have delivered an extempore version in Standard English at a dinner given by the Earl of Selkirk on St. Mary's Isle:
Some have meat and cannot eat, Some cannot eat that want it;But we have meat and we can eat, So let the Lord be thankit.
A starter of soup is then served; usually Scots broth or Cock-a-Leekie. The main event of the meal comes next: the Piping in of the Haggis. A large, piping-hot Haggis (called by Burns "the 'great chieftain o' the puddin'-race") is carried into the dining room on a tray with a bottle of whisky and glasses. A piper leads the procession playing 'A Man's A Man' or another Burns song. The haggis is set down before the host, who now recites Burns' famous 'Address to a Haggis'.
As he reaches the line of the poem, "His knife see rustic Labour dicht, An' cut you up wi' ready slicht", the host draws his Sgian Dubh and plunges it into the haggis, slicing it open from end to end in dramatic fashion. A whisky toast is then proposed to the haggis. Mashed potatoes (champit tatties) and turnips (bashed neeps) traditionally accompany the haggis.
After the meal is concluded, one of the guests delivers a speech commemorating Burns and proposes a toast to the great man, known as the "Immortal Memory." A second toast is made "to the lassies" in recognition of Burns' fondness for the fair sex. Oftentimes, a female guest will reply with a humorous toast "to the laddies."
After the speeches, there may be singing of songs by Burns. Some Suppers include Scottish country dancing and many dance clubs host Burns Suppers as an occasion to hold a cilidh. Whisky tastings are also popular.
At the very end of the evening, the guests will stand together to sing Auld Lang Syne; the Burns song which has become an international anthem of camaraderie and has been translated into over thirty different languages.
Want to host your own Burns Supper?
It's not hard to do! Haggis, despite a lot of bad jokes here in the USA, is a very tasty dish you can make yourself (see the recipe below). You'll want to invest in a nice bottle of whisky and, naturally, a volume of Burns' poetry. Another nice touch is to play some of the music composed by the Bard. We recommend "The Complete Songs of Robert Burns, Vol. 1 & 2" available from various online sellers and including interpretations by a variety of accomplished Celtic musicians.
Here is a classic Haggis recipe you can make in a common casserole dish (no sheep's stomach required!)
Ingredients:18 oz ground lamb18 oz ground beef5 oz suet (beef or vegetable)4 oz oats1 1/4 cup stock (you can strain this from the boiled meat, or use a prepared beef stock)1 cup onions, finely chopped1/2 tsp grated nutmeg1/4 tsp ground mace1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper1/2 tsp ground coriandersea saltground black pepper
1. Preheat your oven to 320° F.
2. Cover the lamb & beef with water and bring to the boil in a large pot. Simmer for about 40 minutes and cool. Save the stock from the meat.
4. Roughly chop and toast the oats in a hot pan, shaking occasionally to make sure they don't burn.
5. Mix all the ingredients together with the stock and transfer to a well-greased casserole dish and cover with a layer of tin-foil.
6. Place in a water bath using a pan large enough to accommodate the dish and add boiling water around it. The water should come about 3/4 of the way up the side of the dish. Check this occasionally and top up the water level. Cook for about 2 1/2 hours and serve immediately with whisky sauce and mashed potatoes and turnips.
Traditional Whisky Sauce:2 cups cream2 tsp wholegrain mustard1 tbls Dijon mustard2 tsp Irish whiskeysea saltground white pepper3 tbls chopped scallions
Heat the cream in a pan over a medium heat. Add mustards, scallions and whisky and whisk together. Increase heat until the mixture is simmering. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes until it thickens up a bit. Remove the pan from the heat and season with salt and pepper.

is that an old aerosol can for your resonator (aka boost bottle). That is awesome.
Hi EIMicNip.
Yes it's an aerosol can. Here in NZ north island we have a wood-eating insect we call borer.This can contained the chemical we spray on timber to kill the borer. The can is more-or-less the right volume of the cylinder and transfer ports & fuel pipe and it seems to work very well. I carefully removed the working part of the spray nozzle and soldered in the brass nipple then finished it off with that neadable epoxy-resin then spayed it all with rust proofing paint. I reacon it was worth all the fiddling. Thanks for the comment.

Due to high demand, the Intersolar Summit Middle East will for the first time be a two-day event. Topics for discussion will include regional market forces, requirements and opportunities for large-scale PV plants, financing models and opportunities and risks for PV production, as well as competitive business models and applications in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.
Pforzheim, August 19, 2014. The conditions for the use of solar energy in the Middle East are excellent: intense solar irradiation, extensive areas for the establishment of large PV power plants and an aspiring and energy-hungry economy. Saudi Arabia alone is planning new projects with a total solar capacity of 41 gigawatts until 2032. Those targets are considered to be one of the most ambitious ones in the entire sector.
Reason enough for Solar Promotion International GmbH in Pforzheim, FMMI – Freiburg Management and MarketingInternational GmbH – and EuPD Research to once again organise the Intersolar Summit, this time in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in October, following three successful "Market Briefing" events. The Intersolar Summit Middle East will take place on 14th and 15th October in the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center.
The German organizers are especially pleased to have managed to gain Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center (RICEC) for the first time as a strong local partner and organizer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. "Due to the excellent feedback and the large number of participants at the three previous events, we are planning a more extensive event for the Intersolar Summit in October in the modern RICEC conference center. Here visitors, speakers and experts will be able to discuss the economic and political framework conditions in more detail and analyse the future development potential for the emerging solar market over the two days," explains Markus Elsässer, CEO of Solar Promotion International GmbH and international organizer of the Intersolar Summit Middle East.
The Intersolar Summit will start with an overview by renowned local and international experts of the current state of the sector and economic development opportunities for the PV industry in the MENA region, with a special focus on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Here, the experts will also present the next steps for the sustainable introduction of renewable energy in the region, opportunities for creating a local solar industry, and an analysis of the opportunities for partnerships between national and international organisations.
Technologically, the focus will be the photovoltaic industry and will – due to market forces – focus mainly on large-scale projects and PV plants. Local experts will report which special regional characteristics should be considered, complementing the practical experiences of project managers and plant operators.
Country-specific conditions also influence the financing of PV projects. In a separate session, investors and advisors will discuss which financing strategies are suitable for the MENA region and in particular for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. In terms of finance, the organizers have placed special emphasis on strengthening the trust of foreign and national investors in MENA as an attractive location for solar energy. In order to achieve this goal, the investors' expectations and their readiness to assume risk with regard to the Middle East, and in particular Saudi Arabia, will be analysed and discussed. The organizers see as their role the bringing together of investors and project managers, in order to advance the financing of projects.
The Intersolar Summit Middle East in Riyadh will also benefit from an analysis of the local PV production. At the moment, many goods and products are still being imported from abroad, but it is envisaged that in future, local production will be established. The organizers are convinced that the sharing of experiences by other markets will help to accelerate the learning curve locally. Speakers will present the latest developments in the PV production process so far as reduction of costs and enhancement of efficiency are concerned.
Partners of the Intersolar Summit Middle East
The Intersolar Summit Middle East is supported by the Premium Sponsors SMA Solar Technology AG and SCHMID Group, the Gold Sponsor GT Advanced Technologies, Inc. as well as the Exhibition Partners Manz AG and Gustav Hensel GmbH & Co. KG. Knowledge Partners of the Summit in Riyadh are Apricum GmbH and PricewaterhouseCoopers AG. Local Supporters are the Delegation of German Industry & Commerce for Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Yemen (AHK Saudi Arabia) and the Middle East Solar Industry Association.

|WSCA Board Chair Message
By Kelly Curtis, WSCA Board Chair

The coordinators for the WSCA Conference are in full-swing planning and your WSCA Board is currently preparing a slate of candidates for you to elect our next group of WSCA Board Members.

Graduate Student Corner: I See You and I Know You Are There
By Mardi Peeters, School Counseling Graduate Student, UW-Oshkosh
As a future school counselor, I am quickly learning the importance of being a visible body in not only the office, but in hallways and classrooms as well. The halls can be somewhat crowded as students scramble to class, yet the presence of a supportive school counselor amongst them seems to be a subtle reminder that there is someone there for them at all times. From my recent experiences, practicum and intern students are an essential tool for students throughout the day just as those on the education team. Becoming mindful of the presence and aura that a counselor permeates is vital to getting the most out of the practicum and internship experience. There are many ways to become more visible in the schools. They might be simple gestures, but a greeting or encouragement could help students become more comfortable talking with the counselor. If they do not yet feel comfortable coming to the office to talk, at least they can think, I see you and I know you are there.
Katrina Eisfeldt, Technology Coordinator
As technology coordinator for WSCA, I am responsible for the technology committee which is a group devoted to helping school counselors connect through the use of social media. We also provide support to school counselors who are integrating technology into their day-to-day work. We have numerous sectional break-outs at the WSCA conference and many ideas are shared with counselors through our Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest pages. Be sure to join WSCA at:

Board Member Spotlight
Tammy Holtan Arnol, Director
WSCA has played a role in my professional development as a school counselor since grad school. I attended my first WSCA conference in 2002 with professors and fellow grad students from UW-Whitewater. The following year, I was honored to receive WSCAs Mike Troy graduate student scholarship. And, I did my school counseling internship under a past WSCA president! The WSCA conference has always been a rejuvenating experience of learning new practices and reconnecting with colleagues. The past two years at the conference, Ive presented sectionals on the Nurtured Heart Approach®, and this year Im co-facilitating a full day pre-conference workshop on NHA.
I have worked in the Verona Area School District, first as a French teacher, then as a school counselor, since 1996. I was first a high school counselor, then elementary, and currently work district-wide. My school counseling passions include culturally and linguistically responsive behavior approaches, including Nurtured Heart Approach®, Restorative Practices, and PBIS; school counselors as leaders; and universal curriculum. In my short time on the WSCA board, Ive been impressed by the dedication and breadth of expertise of the WSCA staff. I look forward to continuing to learn about WSCA, growing professionally through the experience, and contributing in every way I can.

Committee Updates & Upcoming Events
Government Relations UpdateWhats Day on the Hill and Why Do I Need it?
By Andrea Donegan, Govt. Relations Co-Chair
So, every year you fill out your WSCA conference registration form and see the FREE Day on the Hill pre-conference. Why dont you register? I imagine it is for the same reasons I used to grapple with Im a little (or a lot) intimidated by the thought of meeting with my representatives, I wouldnt know what to say, Im not sure I can get away for another ½ day with so much on my plate, Other people are probably better suited for that, and/or What difference would it make?
Dont worry, we have answers for all of these concerns and hope we will convince you to join us this year on Tuesday, February 16th from 1:30 - 5:00. In fact, for those of you planning to attend a morning pre-conference session, please consider joining us!
We know that the whole legislative process can be intimidating for some counselors. Therefore, the Govt. Relations Committee has created this sectional to make sure you have the support, materials, and answers you need prior to meeting with your representatives. The sectional begins with legislative updates from the Govt. Relations committee and Amanda Fitzgerald, ASCA Public Policy Director to inform you of important topics and trends affecting our profession. The outline below demonstrates how you are prepped to be comfortable, confident and successful during your legislative meetings.
To answer why you should participate in Day on the Hill despite your busy schedule, let me begin by saying that you cant afford NOT to do it. As counselors, our natural tendency is to help others. In order to help others, we must first help ourselves! As budgets get tighter and tighter, enrollment declines and the deficit grows larger, we must protect our profession. If school counselors get cut, we are able to help fewer children. We are not powerless and at the mercy of the decision-makers. Our VOICE can be heard, relationships can be built, and education about our profession and the impact we make can be shared. Day on the Hill provides this opportunity. If you have attended previously and begun building a relationship and informing your representatives, your continued conversations and involvement are crucial. Come join us (new and experienced) as we flood the Capitol to promote and protect our profession and the amazing students and families we serve!
Government Relations Advocacy Subcommittee Forming. Please Join us!
By Nate Rice, Govt. Relations Co-Chair
The Government Relations Committee is excited to announce the creation of a Government Relations Advocacy subcommittee. Dont be fooled by the name. This will be BIG!
The purpose of the subcommittee will be to provide WSCA with a network of school counselors committed to building relationships with elected officials (ie. your U.S. Senators, Member of Congress, or representatives in the WI State Legislature), empowering you and the profession you love to be nimble and quick to respond when rapid advocacy is required.
The process will be simple, efficient, and effective. As a member of the subcommittee, if an action item directly related to school counseling arises, you will receive an e-mail encouraging you to act. In the e-mail, you will be provided bulleted talking points (for a call) and corresponding text for a letter or email that you can personalize. Upon review of the issue, you can decide whether you would like to take direct action to make a difference.
Our ultimate goal is to build a vast network that can be sorted by CESA and legislative district for targeted advocacy. To join, simply send your email address to Nate Rice, Government Relations Committee Co-Chair, at firstname.lastname@example.com. Your name will be added to a bcc e-mail list and you will be set to act!
Our time is now! Step up your game and join today!
Graduate Student Update
As graduate students in professional school counseling programs, we have the unique ability to network, collaborate, and gain insight into our future fields. The graduate student committee has one main goal this year: to move the graduate students from the kid's table to the adult's table in WSCA. We want to get graduate students involved in WSCA to help make changes on both a local and state level. Interested in getting more involved? Contact Katie Nechodom (email@example.com).
As a committee, we are gearing up for the WSCA Conference February 16-18. We are in need of volunteers to assist with the conference. Graduate students who are volunteer 4 hours of their time at the conference will have their registration fee waived! For more information, please email Sara Rollin.
We are also looking for students who would like to present a graduate student poster at the WSCA Conference! This is a great opportunity to present on a topic that you're passionate about and to show off all of your hard work as a graduate student! If you're interested in showcasing your work, please email Katie Nechodom.
Membership Update
The benefits of membership go beyond our annual conference and include many other professional development opportunities, such as the Summer Leadership Academy, Fall Summit, and WSCPAR training. All of these trainings are available at a reduced rate for members! Active members also stay informed through Counselink, WSCAlink, Wisconsin SCENE, our many social media sites, and the newly enhanced WSCA website.

Honors courses at the University of Pittsburgh provide in-depth treatments of disciplinary topics rather than treatments that are just specialized, advanced, or accelerated. They stress critical thinking and promote independent analysis, synthesis, and reflective thought and understanding. It is therefore surprising that enrollment in honors courses has declined in recent years, despite the fact that Pitt has been attracting higher quality undergraduate students during this time.
One popular explanation is that students avoid taking honors courses in fear that they will obtain low grades and therefore will lower their overall GPA. In order to determine whether this concern is justified, we determined how much of an impact was had by the grades earned in honors courses. Our initial sample consisted of all 319 students who graduated after the Fall 2014 or Spring 2015 semesters and who completed one or more honors course credits. From their final transcripts we extracted the following information: overall GPA, total number of completed credits and grade points earned, and total number of honors course credits and grade points earned. Each overall GPA was recalculated by removing all honors course credits and grade points. We found that the mean difference between the overall GPA with and without honors courses was -0.004, while the median difference was +0.002. These findings indicate that grades in honors courses have an insignificant impact on overall GPA.
In a subsequent analysis, we divided the 319 students into those who completed one to six honors course credits (229 students) and those who completed more than 6 honors course credits (90 students). The mean difference in GPA was -0.002 in the first subgroup (the median was +0.003) and -0.008 in the second subgroup (the median was -0.004). More recently, we performed the same analyses on the 318 students who graduated after the Fall 2015 or Spring 2016 semesters and got very similar results (i.e., mean difference in overall GPA of -0.001 both for the entire group and for the subgroup who completed more than 6 honors course credits).
In general, honors courses challenge students to work harder than they do in regular classes -- they have to read more, they have to write more, and they have to talk more in class -- and in consequence they learn more. Most students are willing to work harder if they are working on something that interests them, and they are not otherwise punished for doing so. The results of this study indicate that grades earned in honors courses do not negatively impact overall GPA.
Putting that matter aside, other benefits of taking honors courses have been discussed by Assistant Dean Gordon Mitchell in a recent article in the UHC Newsletter.

Daimler and Qualcomm Technologies hope to develop technology that enables wireless charging of battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, as well as wireless charging of mobile phones in cars.
A partnership announced by the companies will focus on the Wireless Power Transfer 2.0 high performance program for electric vehicles. The Qualcomm Halo WEVC technology could allow Mercedes customers to charge their EVs and plug-in hybrids without plugging them in. The WiPower technology enables consumer electronics such as phones and tablets to charge wirelessly in the vehicle. Qualcomm acquired WiPower in 2010.
The German-automaker has worked with Qualcomm previously on providing the Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula One team with Snapdragon chipsets.
"It's important that we remain on the cutting edge of technology and continue to deliver unparalleled experiences to our customers," said Thomas Weber, Daimler's board member for research and development.

A 19-year-old man, Hussain Emmanuel in Bauchi State has disclosed his eyes were removed by people who wanted to use them for ritual purposes. Emmanuel, who is being treated in hospital in Bauchi, says the attack happened two weeks ago in his village in the remote Tafawa Balewa area.
He said he was lured by two acquaintances in Marti village to a nearby river to go swimming. Mr Emmanuel, a self-employed motorbike mechanic, said he was hanging out with the two men because one of them had promised him a job.
When they got to the river they attacked him, attempted to strangle him with a chain and knocked him unconscious. He woke up, he couldn't see and began screaming until he was rescued by some passers-by who found both his eyes were missing.
Police say they are investigating the case, and have not commented on the motive of the two suspects who have yet to be apprehended.

So excited to find Stephanie and right in my own neighborhood.
Korrie F - Nov 2, 2017
I like to wear my hair shirt but not when it isn't cut well. I then go to wierd lengths and force my hair to lay with product. But the haircut Stephanie gave me was excellent and have already had compliments from people who have never even seen me prior to my cut. That's a good cut!
Amazing experience!
Stephanie S - Sep 21, 2017
Absolutely loved the cut and color I got from Stephanie! She did blonde balayage on me and I'm so stoked on the result! To top it off she is awesome to talk with and we had tons of fun! She is clearly an expert hair colorist and her upbeat attitude made the appointment a fabulous experience. Highly recommend!
Balayage for the win!

Pulis excited by Wilson
Stoke manager Tony Pulis believes former Portsmouth midfielder Marc Wilson can become a key player.
Last Updated: 14/01/11 4:34pm
Stoke City manager Tony Pulis believes former Portsmouth midfielder Marc Wilson can become a key player.
The Potters swooped for the 23-year-old before last summer's transfer window closed in a player-plus-cash deal involving Liam Lawrence and Dave Kitson.
Wilson has been a regular for the club of late and Pulis has been thrilled with his contribution, which included a goal in their 2-0 win at Blackburn.
Pulis believes the midfielder has great potential and hopes he can continue learning and progressing in the coming seasons.
"He will eventually be a very good player for this club," Pulis said. "He has been outstanding in his last two games.
"He is getting stronger as well, mentally and physically. He is technically a very good player.
"I can see him being a very important member of the team in years to come."

Background to the Neuroscience-based nomenclature
Interview with Prof. Joseph Zohar, recorded at ECNP Congress 2016, Vienna
What was the need for a new Neuroscience-based nomenclature?
The need is that the indication based nomenclature is not working for the patient. Many times we give antidepressants for anxiety; actually, most times we give antidepressants, but actually for anxiety, and then the patient is telling you "Why are you giving me antidepressants while I am not depressed?"
The scenario is even worse if you give antipsychotics for depression "Is my condition so bad that you are giving me antipsychotics, doctor?" so it is confusing for the patient, it has consequence on the adherence, and it doesn't give information for the doctors, so the classification doesn't help the doctor to do the rational next pharmacological step.
Could you tell us the process behind developing the Neuroscience-based nomenclature (NbN)?
It is a really unique process. Five organisations joined together, organisations with specific expertise in neuropsychopharmacology, and this includes the ECNP, the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology, the ACNP, the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, the CINP, the International College of Neuropsychopharmacology, and the Asian College of Neuropsychopharmacology, together with IUPHAR, the International Union of Pharmacologists. All of these organisations have been working now for seven years in order to develop this classification, this new naming for psychotropic.
What were some of the challenges?
Basically, the NbN, the major point about this is that we move away from indication based to pharmacologically driven, so we don't talk any more about antidepressants, but we talk about medication that affects specific pharmacological domains. Basically, it is based on the pharmacological domain and the mechanism of action of medication and this is the driving force. It enriches the language that we can talk about medication since now we have 11 types of pharmacological domains and 11 types of mechanism of action. The language now is a combination between any type of pharmacological domain and any time of mode of action, enriching our language in this regard.
How does the app work?
The app is, basically what we did, we did a book which we published in Cambridge Press a year ago, and then what we did, we thought it might be much better to have it in your pocket, so we developed an app. The app contains all the data in the book, but it is much more sophisticated. There is a very clever search engine in the app and you can, let's say, look at all the medication that we have approved for OCD, let's say. You can push and get all the medication that was approved for OCD.
Let's say if you have a patient who suffers from depression, got serotonergic medication, and developed sexual side effects and the patient is coming to you and saying "I don't want to take the medication anymore because of the sexual side effects", so you can, using the app, look at medication with no adrenergic mechanism of action and that is approved for depression, and then you can look for sexual side effects and choose medication that is approved for depression that works versus no other adrenergic mechanism and has less sexual side effects. The app helps you to fine-tune, to direct, to adjust a medication according to the specific needs of the patient.
How has NbN been received in the community?
Basically, when we presented the vast majority of our colleagues say "Of course, this is what is needed. It makes sense. The medication is about pharmacology, so the classification, the naming should be about pharmacology" and they don't like the feeling that they have so far that part of the classification was derived by marketing, like, what is the meaning of second generation antipsychotic? Second generation means that it is late, but nobody claimed that being late is better, so basically, it is very well received and secondly, the app helps the clinician to select the right medication from all the possible compounds. It helps them to use the data that is in the app to find and adjust and make the next, or first pharmacological step, in a rational way.
What are the next steps?
It was launched in May 2016. So far, about 20 journals accept, scientific journals – you know, journals that are leaders in psychopharmacology, accept the nomenclature, the NBN, there are editorials about this, so in the future we think that many journals, on top of the 20 that already accepted this, are going to use it and we think we would like to develop and that people are going to use it more.
Currently, we are working on a paediatric edition, so doing the same thing, but for children in other lessons, and we are planning to expand it also to other neurological disorders or disorders that are related to the brain. This is what we are busy doing now.
What is your take-home message?
My take-home message is that I encourage doctors to download the app, to use it, to learn more about it and see the advantage that this app and the new classification, the neuroscience based nomenclature, the new classification, helps them to take more informed choices while they are doing the next pharmacological step and how, talking with this language, using this language helps the patient and the family to understand why you are giving this type of medication. Instead of I am giving antipsychotics to depressed patients, the language that we are using is "On top of the serotonergic medication I am recruiting also the dopaminergic system to help you with your depression", so changing the language, I think, has a lot of impact on the patient adherence, patient understanding and also regarding the stigma of the medication.

Jovetic needs 'stimulation' from top club
Fiorentina forward Stevan Jovetic has pricked the ears of major European clubs by admitting he needs 'stimulation' away from Florence.
The 23-year-old scored 13 goals this season for the Serie A club, helping the club to fourth in the table and a spot in the Europa League.
But not even the chance of another European adventure can entice the Montenegro international to stay with Fiorentina, believing his future lies with one of the club's main rivals.
"I've been at Fiorentina in 2008, five very intense seasons," Jovetic told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"I really feel like I've given everything. I'm young and ambitious and it is normal to feel the need to test myself elsewhere. I do not think there's anything wrong with desire.
"Florence and la Viola (club's) fans have always asked me to be upfront: so here it is. I need stimulation elsewhere, I need to devote myself in a top club.
"I've played in Europe with Fiorentina, now I want to win in Europe."
Serie A champion Juventus are rumoured to be interested in keeping Jovetic in Italy, but Premier League clubs – notably Arsenal and Chelsea – have also been speculated as major bidders.
And Jovetic admitted a move to England remained a strong possibility.
"For a year they (Juventus) have said they want me," he said. "I come before (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic, (Carlos) Tevez and (Gonzalo) Higuain in their list. Who would not be flattered?
"With (Juventus manager Antonio) Conte I feel that I could continue to grow. I think the feeling is mutual.
"But the Premier League is also fantastic championship, as is La Liga. I have some opportunities so we'll see."

I went to Horncastle yesterday. The town has a huge number of antique and junk shops. I'm quite the fan of the junk shop, so I can't go to Horncastle and not visit The Old Co-op. Junk is piled literally to the ceiling. I am always drawn to all the old crockery and all the bits and pieces. I wanted some tablespoons to go with my recent re-introduction to cookery. So I picked up some spoons, for the princely sum of 50 pence. For five. A bargain was had.
The thing is, I love those old things. They're imperfect. I like it when they have some imperfections. A small crack, or chip, maybe a dent. There's a story behind every one of those marks.
I like Ikea, I do, I love the storage and I love the marketplace and fabric. But for furniture? It's not really me. I want something that has been here for decades already. Maybe a century. I want it to be imperfect and most likely desperately unfashionable.
I love the trunks that sit in my conservatory, they sport a few dents, a little bit of rust on the outside. But where have they been? What made the dents, when did they get damp to become rusty? So many stories.
The chairs in my lounge, who sat there before me?
My display cabinet; before it was home to my Droopy memorabilia obsession what was displayed in there?
Which books lived in my book slide?
What was in the vintage suitcases that form my bedside 'table'?
All of these items carry a little bit of damage and I love them all the more for it.
