While his girlfriend and fellow "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart is transitioning one out of one franchise, straight into another ("Snow White and the Huntsman"), Robert Pattinson seems keen to establish himself as An Actor. While the drippy, manipulative "Remember Me" was a miss, Pattinson proved himself a non-vampire draw with "Water For Elephants" earlier this year which powered itself to a strong $115 million worldwide. And with David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis" and the period pic "Bel Ami" on the way, he seems eager to shake off the adolescent stink of "Twilight." While we have to wait and see how successful that attempt is, as these new pics from the latter film show, he's going to be turning up the heat in the process.
Based on the book by Guy de Maupassant and featuring Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas and Christina Ricci, "Bel Ami" will find Pattinson playing George Duroy, a sexy social climber in turn-of-the-century 1890s Paris, who seduces his way to wealth and fame from a poor beginning. Thurman will play the wife of one of Duroy's friends who eventually marries Pattinson's seductive schemer. Kristin Scott Thomas will appear as a woman who overestimates Duroy's attachment to her. These pics show Pattinson easily proving his manhood with the female leads, but whether the film is a winner or not, we won't know for a while yet.
From what we hear, the producers are aiming for a Berlin Film Festival premiere in 2012 and it might be a while later before it hits theaters as the film is still without a distributor. So stay strong RPatz lovers and let these pics tide you over for now. [via Movieline]

Also disagree on Remember Me being a 'miss'; it was one of the better films of 2010.

Poor people.And poor Mr. Pattinson. Thanks for the reply.
AlexP | August 29, 2011 6:42 AM
Yeah, they are pretty much always this pathological and psychotic
Koto | August 29, 2011 6:40 AM
R・.Pattinson came to my country to promote film a couple of years ago.He seems nice and normal.But ...Are Twilight fans always like this? Or these people are just parodying Twilight fans?
Hoodmccandle | August 29, 2011 5:26 AM
Dana, that's really not the point. I'm no twilight loon, but Kevin started his piece in this way: 'while Stewart is going from one franchise to the next, pattinson seems keen to establish himself as an actor.' First, his entire premise is shaky. The film hasn't released yet, why is he so sure this is a franchise and that Stewart is on board even if it turns out to be. Secondly, since when does doing a franchise negate acting cred? Robert Downey Jr, Christian bale and Johnny depp might disagree with you. Third, if youre going to snidely imply one twilight actor is NOT 'keen to establish themself as an actor' due to acting in a film that the author feels could possibly be another franchise - then at least explain this rather odd point of view. How does a franchise invalidate someone as an "actor?" does he really think an actress who does enumerable indies and has a reputation for solid serious work is not keen to establish herself as an actor? Really? Why ignore the fact that she has made numerous indies, before, during and after Twilight?
Sure, the loons have gone a bit batsh*t at what they perceive to be a diss, but even the lay person can pick up on the inexplicable snideness and snark directed toward's Pattinson's girlfriend.
dana | August 28, 2011 4:15 AM
What a mess in here. Stewart IS moving from one franchise to another. Deal. I really doubt she's playing Snow White because it's such a fascinating character study for her.
juliet | August 27, 2011 7:48 AM
Both Rob and Kristen prefer Indie movies. I remember Rob saying in an interview that he would do everything to make art house movies more popular. But they have to be realistic: for their economic value they need to do a big production from time to time in between the indie movies. They are both very talented IMO and very down to earth, no attention seekers. That's why they have such a big fandom from all ages and I agree that a small part of the fans are quite immature and lunatic.
I disagree about Remember me: it was well received in Europe, the ending wasn't criticized as it was in America. The DVD sold well and the reviews of non Rob fans were great in general. Budget: 16 million, BO almost 56 million, so not a flop. But American reviewers were very narrow minded. I hope they both do well, trying to be good actors in the first place, not movie stars. Sorry for mistakes, English isn't my native language.
lauralynn | August 27, 2011 7:11 AM
I thought they didn't make films unless they already had distributors on board?
And I'm with you Roxy, the last thing I want to see when I go to a movie is Rob's butt crack in bed with 4 to 6 different women. Personally I don't know how someone could do it in the first place and second I feel so sorry for Kristen. She is one Hell-of-a strong woman to be able not to go psycho when he takes roles like that knowing that he's going to be in half naked, in bed "making love" to his co-stars all day long. I don't think I could handle it if it was my boyfriend. I guess it's a good thing I'm not dating a well known actor.
paul | August 27, 2011 5:40 AM
@Mark, that's what i don't understand. Kevin didn't take a swipe at Kristen. lmao, some of her fans need to calm down. It's going to be ok.
paul | August 27, 2011 5:22 AM
@Oliver Lyttelton, bingo. I think this is why people think twilight fans are messed up in the head.
mark | August 27, 2011 5:00 AM
How dare you state a undeniable fact like that Kristen Stewart has finished one franchise and that her very next project is another (hopeful) franchise?! These page long rants will learn you to actually write factually about what an actress is currently working on.
Oliver Lyttelton | August 27, 2011 4:27 AM
I mean this with all the love in the world, but you people are fucking lunatics.
Kay | August 27, 2011 4:09 AM
tI love how Kevin dismisses the 20 some-odd Indie films Kristen has done besides the Twilight saga. Into the Wild? Sean Penn created a role for her for God's sake. I love how much it highlights his ignorance and gives me a reason to no longer care about what he says about film. Pity.
Andy | August 27, 2011 3:53 AM
They won't say what they realy DON'T like about Kristen and that is the fact that she is his true companion in every sense of the word, she can match Rob 100% in his looks, his charm, and his talent. If it hadn't been for Kristen Stewart demanding Rob get the role as Edward Cullen you wouldn't have Robert Pattinson to gloat over in this article. She had the backbone to stand up for him when most of Hollywood would have turned their back on him. Together they have worked to get the Indy films out there
Totally agree with this part you wrote Sue, sorry for correcting a couple typos.... Some people have a closet full of green. I personally don't see the need for some to always put the two up against each other. Why? They are obviously a couple, they both love the Indy films, so why feel the need to sing ones praises more than the other. Once again it comes back to what many have said here..it is a jealousy of Kristen and the fact that she is with Rob in every sense of the word and like Sue said they'll use articles such as this one to hide and post negative stuff about Kristen. Shame on you Kevin Jagernauth and the others like you who feel the need to make light of Kristen.
Bkk | August 27, 2011 3:42 AM
Before you quit Kevin, do you mind sharing WHY you would get a weird dig in, at an actor known for practically living eating and breathing independent films for most of her life? Were you unaware of this? Why imply this very serious actress, isn't? It does seem odd. Quit worrying about your new nickname and answer the gist of the gripe.
This blog is turning into Hollywood life.

WTF....you may not have meant for your words to come across as they did but unfortunately you have totally pissed the Kristen fanbase off. How dare you make light of Kristen's Indy acting. No one has worked harder to establish herself as an actress by starring in Indy films. She is constantly knocked down by jealous ignorant people both male and female who could care less about their acting abilities but will hide behind it by not telling what they really like about Mr. Robert Pattinson and that is his looks and charm. They won't say what they realy DON'Tt like about Kristen and that is the fact that she is his true companion in every sense of the word, she cam match Rob 100% in his looks, his charm, and his talent. If it hadn't been for Kristen Stewart demanding Rob get the role as Edward Cullen you wouldn't have Robert Pattinson to gloat over in this article. She had the backbone to stand up for him when most of Hollywood would have turned their back on him. Together they have worked to get the Indy films out there, their names are what is carrying that industry along with a few more so you need to rethink the wording of future articles you write when it comes to Kristen Stewart. Without actors and actresses with both of their talents, you wouldn't have a need to even write an Indy article.
There is no greater fan of Kristen than Rob...He has stood by her praising her all the way. He has said on more than one occasion that "She is the greatest actress of our generation." Then he went on to say that he still thinks she is the best. So she may be doing a big movie right now but do not forget that her real love is "Indy Films"

KevinPUTyerCLAWSaway | August 27, 2011 2:24 AM
This is an odd article. Why would a guy that blogs on an indie film board, take a swipe at a young actress whose been making indies for more than half of her life, and done several in the midst of her mega franchise. Doesn't this snarky little Kevin Jackoff-nauth guy know this stuff? Or is he new to the Indie film world? Stewart was known as a young indie princess before Twilight - and staying true to form, she's done at least 4 or 5 high and low profile indie turns throughout the entire Twilight run that have earned her critical acclaim, like The Runaways, Welcome to the Rileys, The Yellow Handkerchief, Adventureland, the upcoming On the Road, etc., as several posters have pointed out. Yet this Kevin dude makes it seem like her beau Pattinson in comparison to Stewart is a more serious indie 'ACTORRR,' while Kristen is going for the franchises. Excuse me, but wtf - where's THAT coming from? It's bad enough this kid gets slammed by all the female hater freaks obsessing over her boyfriend, but now she gets kicked in the head by catty male bloggers who are coveting him as well?
Dear indiewire, if you'd like to hire someone who knows something about indie film, and indie film actors to blog for you - feel free to contact me. I'm all about the films and performances and won't lapse into Perez Hilton-ish snark. Email me. Thanks.

thanks for having a point of view be it sarcastic or otherwise because it makes reading the playlist SO much more enjoyable than some of the other bigger film blogs.
and looking forward to seeing rob looking sweaty and bloated on the big screen! awesome pics.
p | August 26, 2011 6:10 AM
I am a movie person , so it always puzzle me when movie blogs specially these days , when any 10yr old can get one . I'm all for people with opinions but i noticed that all bloggers are not really giving an opinion on the movies themselves but they enjoy slamming the actors on a personal level specially the young actors of today. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson specifically , before the twilight saga they were promising actors but suddenly they have become the worst of the bunch.I have seen both films by pattinson and i liked them both . Not every movie made should be as successful as the Pottter or LOTR franchises but they were both successful as they were profitable to the studios and actors alike , they didn't bomb like bloggers claimed Remember Me double it's take and WFE more than double it's money so i failed to see the problem . All i see now is a total disrespect for both actors ,and it is quite unfair . Imagine if the industry actually listen to the internet idiots , the movie industry would collapse for sure . The movie blogs are no longer about movies but about gossip and personal attacks and that my friend totally cheapens the experience of reading about films on the internet . If everyone believed all these silly rants and gossip actors like Pitt /Clooney /Roberts and on would not grace the screens and we as moviegoers wouldn't have the opportunity to enjoy their work... I personally can't wait to see what Pattinson and Stewart bring to the screens in the near future..
Juan Counago | August 26, 2011 5:06 AM
Not the biggest R-Pattz fan, but I've got nothing but respect for the choices he's making in trying to move past the 'heartthrob' stage of his career.
I quite enjoyed Remember Me, haven't seen his latest with the fantastic Christoph Waltz, but will be seeing Cosmopolis, I actually can't wait for that. Trippy novel that if adapted correctly by Cronenberg could become a cult classic movie.
andrea | August 26, 2011 4:51 AM
Weird that I kind of want to see this just to see him act with his own accent?
And Sam please, tons of shit that no one cares about plays at TIFF every year. If they aren't showing there, it's more likely because it's not ready/release date has been pushed back.
paul | August 26, 2011 4:43 AM
@ lame cheap-shot Kevin, i don't understand how that was a shot at kristen stewart? it wasn't anything mean. anyway, i'm not the biggest rob pattinson fan, but i am looking foward to of his movies. bel-ami is one of my all time favorite books, and david cronenberg is one of my all time favorite directors.
Edward Davis | August 26, 2011 4:17 AM
How is that a jab? Moronic.
Sam | August 26, 2011 3:53 AM
oh come on @Morgan, BA was pulled from tiff because it got into berlin? Movies can go to many festivals, not just one. BA is not at tiff because nobody is interested in it. The film has no buzz outside the RP fandom. #truestory
lame cheap-shot Kevin | August 26, 2011 3:52 AM
The article is supposed to be about PATTINSON but Kevin Jagernauth never misses a chance to take a cheap shot at Kristen Stewart.
That first line of this article is the reason why I am not surprised why many have opted to avoid playlist articles and stick to Deadline and or Variety as their main source.
keepcalm1918 | August 26, 2011 3:32 AM
I disagree that "Remember Me" was a miss. If a "miss" means it didn't make hundreds of millions/billion+ like Harry Potter - ok; however, to those of us who saw it in the theatres and bought the DVD it was a complete "success". Being a New Yorker, it touched a part of me that allowed me to release some hard, personal and painful memories of 9/11. This film highlights one young man's life who was affected by 9/11. It helps with the healing esp. with the 10 year anniversary coming up and all the reborn harsh memories. Regarding Bel Ami, more power to Mr. Pattinson if he is offered the role of a good looking seducer at this short stage of his life.
Morgan | August 26, 2011 3:08 AM
Distribution in North America is still up for grabs but it's been sold pretty much everywhere else in the world so I think it will shake out ok. Talk from TIFF was that it had been accepted and then it was pulled it at the last minute because BA got into Berlin. I think for this type of film, Berlin would suit it best so that may be a good thing.
Who knows if it's any good in terms of a movie but those photos are pretty.
Roxy | August 26, 2011 3:03 AM
Can´t wait for this film !
LK | August 26, 2011 2:40 AM
oh look Robert Pattinson in a role where he only f*cks women, isn't his character in Cosmopolis manwhore too? It would be nice too see him in a role where he has to do something other than f*ck women.
gaga | August 26, 2011 2:36 AM
Is there any guy HOTTER than Mr. Pattinson right now.....every woman will watch that seductive Man ..and they can not find a distributer for that Movie but they find one for all the s$it they show on the Big Screen..WTF

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police were called to the 1200 block of west Broadway just 8:30 a.m. to keep order after a crowd gathered outside a shoe store.
Devores at 1211 west Broadway was set to begin selling Nike's latest shoe -- the Air Foamposite One 'White' -- when the store opened at 9 a.m.
A witness told WDRB News that some people in the crowd became impatient and tried to jump ahead of others in line.
According to the Nike Insider website, the shoe "features a stark, monochromatic upper, with an iced-out sole as the perfect accent. The Nike Air Foamposite One 'White' is another in a long line of must-have Foamposite styles."
LMPD officers kept the crowd in line. There were no injuries and no property damage reported.
The shoes retail for $225 a pair.

Generally, Roethlisberger just feels bad for Tim Tebow, according to the Denver Post (via The Big Lead).
"It's got to be tough," Roethlisberger said during a conference call today with the Denver media.
"Every time you turn it on, you see something about Tebow.
I can only imagine what it's like for his teammates. Just watching today, it's the Steelers versus Tim Tebow. No, it's the Steelers versus the Broncos, so I can only imagine what it's like for him with all the eyes and the attention on him and the pressure. It can't be fun. I feel for him a little bit."
Roethlisberger also added that it comes with the territory of being an NFL quarterback and that it's not like Tebow is bringing it upon himself, either.
The latter is true, but the attention NFL QBs are given PALES in comparison to Tebow-mania.

Basketball celebrates senior Sappington with a win on Senior Night
February 14, 2012
Winston-Salem, NC-The Salem College basketball team won their last home game of the 2011-2012 season in an impressive fashion with a 61-46 victory against Piedmont International. The team celebrated senior Cailyn Sappington (Winston-Salem, NC) before the game. Sappington finished with 4 points for the Spirits. Salem improves to 3-17 with the win.
The Spirits started out on fire shooting over 51% in the first half. They would go into the break with a 35-20 advantage.
Racheal Salmons (Yadkinville, NC) finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds in the win. Zy Henderson (Spartanburg, SC) finished with 13 points and Karoline Summerville (Charlotte, NC) added 10. Amber Miller (Mebane, NC) had 9 points and 11 rebounds, and Phylicia Boles added 9 points and 10 rebounds.
The Spirits return to the road this weekend when they travel to take on Spelman on Sunday.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- With Texas shooting poorly, Cincinnati grabbed a comfortable lead early -- maybe a little too comfortable.
The Bearcats faded but still managed to withstand a late rally by Texas to win 65-59 on Friday in the second round of the NCAA tournament's East Regional.
Sixth-seeded Cincinnati (25-10) jumped out to a 16-2 lead while Texas opened the game 1 of 14 and hit 16 percent for the entire first half.
After trailing 31-17 at halftime, the young Longhorns attacked, hitting five of their first seven from 3-point range and shooting 50 percent for the second half. They found the paint a bit more friendly too, after being shut down there in the first half.
With 3:44 to play, Texas' Jonathan Holmes hit a layup to tie the game 52-52, but the Longhorns couldn't take the lead. Cincinnati's Yancy Gates hit a shot over Clint Chapman's head with 1:11 to put Cincinnati ahead 58-52, and the Bearcats hit five free throws in the final 36 seconds.
Gates finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds for Cincinnati. JaQuon Parker added 13 points, Dion Dixon had 12 and Cashmere Wright scored 11.
J'Covan Brown led No. 11 seed Texas (20-14) with 19 points, and Chapman had 10 points and 14 rebounds. Julien Lewis scored 14 points, and Sheldon McClellan added 10.
After drawing the early tip time in Nashville, Texas appeared to sleepwalk through much of the first half. The Longhorns got their first basket off a jumper near the free-throw line by Lewis just over 2 minutes into the game.
Texas wouldn't score again for another 10:18. A foul by Jermaine Sanders sent Lewis to the free-throw line with 7:30 in the half.
Lewis hit both shots to make it 16-4. The crowd, which had been mostly quiet up until the point, erupted into cheers.
With 40 percent shooting before halftime, Cincinnati wasn't doing much to impress offensively, either. What the Bearcats were doing was shutting down Texas around the basket in every way possible.
Cincinnati held a 26-18 rebounding advantage at halftime and had outscored the Longhorns 22-6 in the paint while keeping them from getting a single second-chance basket.

COLLIN COUNTY -- Roads in Collin County are under constant watch by NTTA. It started fully deploying salt and sand at roughly 4:15 p.m. on Thursday.
NTTA says it has enough supply for a multi-day weather event. A spokesperson says the 2011 ice storm during the Super Bowl has been set as the benchmark.
Crews are closely watching Highway 75 at the Sam Rayburn Tollway. It is also keeping a close eye on the Sam Rayburn Tollway at the Dallas North Tollway.
A spokesperson stresses that if you see an NTTA truck in the roadway, please keep a safe distance from it. Give yourself at least 50 feet clearance from any truck dispersing sand or salt. And that's not just for your protection as a driver, but also for crews working the field.

Clinical Psychology Training Sites
Parkland Memorial Hospital Inpatient, Outpatient, and Consult-Liaison Services
The Department of Psychiatry operates a 20-bed acute psychiatric ward in Parkland Memorial Hospital, the primary teaching hospital of UT Southwestern Medical School. This is essentially a short-term treatment center that provides opportunities for contact with a wide range of patients with a diversity of disorders. The Department also maintains an outpatient service at Parkland Hospital which serves the psychiatric needs of a large section of the community.
A consultation/liaison service offers consultation to other departments within Parkland and across the Medical School. There are conferences and discussions regarding patients with various physical symptoms or disabilities for which psychological and neuropsychological evaluations are requested, or in which the participation of a mental health professional is desirable.
Parkland Memorial Hospital Psychiatric Emergency Room
The Psychiatry Emergency Room of Parkland Memorial Hospital is one of the main sources of health care for a very large segment of the population of Dallas County. Its primary function is the care of true emergency psychiatric patients, or acutely distressed and disturbed patients, individuals with rapidly changing health situations, and trauma victims.
Brief intake evaluation, crisis intervention, and appropriate subsequent referral are the primary tasks on this service. All students receive training in the Parkland ER through a shared rotation schedule beginning the third semester of the first year, through the second semester of the third year.
Neuropsychology Service
The Neuropsychology Service provides neuropsychological evaluations to adult in- and outpatients with a variety of known or suspected brain disorders. Common referrals include Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, intracranial neoplasms, aneurysm, and traumatic brain injury. Referral sources include psychiatric, neurological, neurosurgery clinics, other departments throughout the Medical Center (e.g., Rehabilitation Medicine, Rheumatology), outside physicians, and attorneys.
The approach to neuropsychological assessment blends qualitative (process) and quantitative strategies, using a variety of standard instruments. Evaluations are tailored to specific populations, referral questions, and individual needs. Students are involved in interviews, assessment, feedback, and report preparation. Opportunities are available for participation in various neurology, neurosurgery, and neuropsychology case conferences, and other training experiences. Trainees also interact with Fellows in the Postdoctoral Training Program in Clinical Neuropsychology.
Children's Medical Center Psychological Services
Children's Medical Center Dallas is a private pediatric general medical and surgical hospital affiliated with UT Southwestern Medical Center. The hospital has a 12-bed child and adolescent psychiatric inpatient service, along with a day treatment and outpatient psychiatric program. In addition to the psychiatric service, students also have opportunities to work with a broad range of physically ill and disabled children, their families, and other health service personnel through the psychiatry consultation-liaison service at Children's.
Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children
The Psychology Department at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children (TSRHC) in Dallas, Texas, offers clinical training in consultation/liaison as part of multidisciplinary clinics and inpatient orthopaedic pediatrics including areas related to adjustment to chronic illnesses, surgery preparation and education, pain management, and long-term hospitalization. Outpatient services offered by the department include individual and family therapy, patient education and preparation, biofeedback, and evaluation.
Specific patient populations include, but are not limited to, children with acute, procedural and chronic pain, rare orthopaedic conditions and syndromes, tuberous sclerosis complex and other neurological disorders, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and other pediatric rheumatoid conditions.
Opportunities for research include joining ongoing studies or proposing new research. Ongoing studies include, but are not limited to, tuberous sclerosis, brachial plexus palsy, and a global hip study. New research opportunities might include biofeedback efficacy for pediatric pain, quality of life issues with spina bifida, complex regional pain syndrome, as well as outcome data of quality of life issues for any number of specific patient populations.
UT Southwestern Clinical Psychology Psychotherapy Program
The UT Southwestern Psychotherapy Clinic is an adult outpatient psychiatric clinic administered through the Department of Psychiatry. The Clinic has two primary functions: to provide low-cost outpatient psychotherapy services to patients who meet admission criteria to the clinic, and to enhance the training of both psychology graduate students and psychiatric residents. Students in the third semester of their first year and through the end of their fourth year are assigned a minimum of two patients in outpatient psychotherapy referred through this clinic.
Each academic year a supervisor is assigned to students for their Southwestern Clinic patients. This training clinic provides independent practice-like experiences for the student, as well as the opportunity to follow patients over a longer period of time if appropriate to patient need. Additionally, this setting facilitates the close collaboration between psychology and psychiatry trainees.
Dallas County Juvenile Department
The Dallas County Juvenile Department provides legal and protective services to children age 17 and younger. This setting provides assessment and treatment experiences with families and groups of delinquent children, and consultation with court-related foster care agencies, court officers, and court personnel.
SMU Student Health Services
The Student Health Service of Southern Methodist University provides excellent opportunities to deal with a wide range of young adults. Clients come to this setting with problems ranging from relatively minor academic issues to serious personal and interpersonal situations and/or mental illness. Thus, the student trainee placed in this setting has the opportunity to learn to deal not only with the clinical issues of such a population, but also with the environmental support systems offered by the institution.
Price, Proctor & Associates, LLP
Price, Proctor & Associates, LLP is a group private practice that focuses primarily on forensic psychological and neuropsychological assessment. Students are introduced to the interface between psychology and the law through didactic training and practical application.
Opportunities for exposure to a variety of forensic psychological and neuropsychological evaluations are available, but in particular, students participate in evaluations of those seeking disability for mental health reasons and of those applying for employment in public safety positions (e.g., police officers, firefighters, detention officers).
The majority of the students' time is spent interviewing, conducting psychological testing, interpreting psychological or neuropsychological testing, and report writing.
The University of Texas at Arlington
The UT Arlington Mental Health Service provides basic psychiatric and psychological services to the campus community (students, faculty, and staff) in a team approach with other health professionals. Clinical services include intake assessments, treatment planning, and brief to extended psychotherapy. Testing services include Adult ADD Screening and Assessment.
Cleburne Community Supervision Department
This department provides forensic and clinical services to individuals on probation. These services include assessment reports submitted to Probation Officers, leading anger management groups, counseling probationers who are experiencing distress, and providing individual weekly psychotherapy surrounding a variety of issues.
Baylor University Medical Center
Women's Psychology Services, established in 2004, is a collaborative endeavor of the BUMC Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and faculty and doctoral students of UT Southwestern Psychology Division, to provide largely pro bono psychological consultations for hospitalized patients and outpatients of the Ob/Gyn physicians and residents.
The focus of the service is to provide integrated and comprehensive care in the following areas: diagnostic evaluations with inpatients and outpatients of the Ob/Gyn service, psychotherapy (brief and long-term), general inpatient consultation, comprehensive personality assessment, education, and outreach.
Fairhill School and Diagnostic Assessment Center
The Fairhill rotation is primarily an experience in assessment. Fairhill is a private, co-ed day school serving students with learning disorders. The Diagnostic Assessment Center (DAC) provides psychological and psycho-educational assessment services to Fairhill students and to the general public. Trainees are assigned to the DAC where they conduct diagnostic assessments, write assessment reports, and participate in assessment feedback and recommendation conferences.
They also have the opportunity to work directly with Fairhill students in a counselor/therapist capacity, present to student classes and/or school staff, and collaborate with school staff in formulating and implementing educational and behavioral interventions. Trainees are treated as staff at Fairhill, with commensurate performance expectations and responsibilities, thus providing a true workplace environment.

The other question is would Houston trade Carr for Plummer straight up? I dont know if they are that willing to take Plummer if Kubiak can't even work out a deal with Shanahan who is his friend.
Per NFLN, just heard it, the trade for Plummer contains language that says he plays for Tampa or no one. They didn't give more details.
my head is spinning ... and I don't even drink!

Polar bear tries to attack wildlife photographer
Working with animals is always a little risky, but working with massive predators could be fatal.
One photographer found out just how hungry these bears get in the winter, when it passed up a seal hole for the photographer, who was protected by a specialized cage during the 40-minute attack.

"I will kick anybody's butt that doesn't have a college degree," Willie Rowell emphatically states when asked about the importance of a college education. Rowell's avid dedication to education is apparent upon first speaking to him. "If any of my agents came through without a degree, the first thing I did was enroll them in school."
Willie Joe Rowell grew up in the Mohave Desert during the 1950s. Though surrounded by dry air, dry ground, and dry heat, Rowell had one favorite pastime in his hometown. "I liked the fact that I could go from the lowest point to the highest point in the Western hemisphere within an hour." This adventurous spirit led Rowell to his college years at Chaminade University in Honolulu, Hawaii. In school, he attempted to play sports he had once enjoyed in high school: football, baseball, and the like. To his dismay, Rowell made the upsetting realization that sports were no longer a sport. Sports equaled business. He left playing sports behind, but would eventually return to the field as a soccer coach later in life.
In 1964, Rowell dropped out of school and was drafted into the Armed Forces. However, Rowell's lack of schooling did not last long. He went back to college and completed his degree while still in the military. This college education in addition to his military training (conducted by the creators of the behavioral analysis FBI program) brought Rowell to Fort Leonard Wood where he became the first regimental CW5 senior CID agent. This occupation revolves around crime-scene analysis, otherwise known as "forensics." A day in his life could be compared to an episode of CSI, though Rowell was interested in this field before such shows became common on prime-time.
Rowell believes he is "working for God, giving a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves. The police officer is the first line of defense on the street. You've got to have honesty and integrity. And you must be able to understand why good people do bad things."
His beliefs led him to not only serve as part of a police force, but to teach Drury CCPS classes the skills needed to gain college degrees in psychology, sociology, and criminal justice. Courses Rowell has taught at Drury include: Domestic Violence, Deviant Social Behavior, Ritualistic Investigation, Ethics in Law Enforcement, and Signs & Symptoms of Child Abuse, among many others. His method is to teach his students the three Cs: cops, courts, and corrections. Rowell refuses to let a student fail- "if you fail a student, chances are, you lose their entire college education. The student will most likely drop out." His teaching style revolves around patience with students and keeping the language of the class at the students' level.
Though Willie Rowell has played sports, gone to school, served his country, much like many other men in America, he brings a love education into society. He is solid in his belief that "the future is in education." Though Rowell retired from the military in 2002, he continues to teach Drury CCPS classes.

Hello -
Yet another newbie here - sorry - I am creating SP-MIDI music files to be used as ringers. I have a Nokia 3595 phone which accepts MMS messages. Is there a way to send a MIDI file to the phone and play it for evaluation purposes? Like via email?
Sprint has this great web tool for developers where you just 'upload' your ringer to your phone number and it comes in as a message. If only it would work on all networks! I'm currently developing for AT&T and need to be able to test.
And please don't say I need some SDK or Java something er-other. I am only looking for a way to upload and preview a few ringtones at a time and don't have the technical sophistication to emulate some gateway or whatever. That's what's so great about that Sprint thing. Super simple.

World War One: Accrington route for freedom parade revealed
4:30pm Thursday 19th June 2014 in News By Michael Morrison, Hyndburn reporter
THE route of a parade through the streets of Accrington to commemorate the start of the First World War has been revealed.
On Tuesday, July 1, 120 soldiers from the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment will march through the town to exercise their freedom of the borough.
Starting from St John the Evangelist Church in Addison Street at noon, the soldiers will march with drums beating, bands playing, colours flying, and bayonets fixed, led by the Band of the King's Division, a full 32-piece marching band.
The regiment will travel down Burnley Road, left onto Eastgate, then onto Abbey Street and right down Blackburn Road.
They will then turn onto Church Street, passing the Accrington Pals memorial where the annual service will have taken place.
After completing a circuit of St James' Church, they will travel along Cannon Street, St James' Street, and Holmes Street, before returning down Church Street to the town hall, where the parade will finish at around 12.20pm.
Hyndburn major Munsif Dad, and Brigadier PS Rafferty MBE will inspect the troops.
Coun Dad, joined by mayors from across Lancashire, will then honour the sacrifices made by all members of the armed forces.
Colonel Chris Owen said: "It is a tremendous honour for the regiment and its soldiers to exercise the freedom of Hyndburn, and it is fitting that we will do so in the home town of the Accrington Pals on the anniversary of their great sacrifice."
Hyndburn Council leader Miles Parkinson said: "The history of the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment is linked with the Accrington Pals, so it is fitting that they have chosen this the centenary year of the outbreak of the First World War to exercise their freedom of the borough."

A former child protective services worker for Yuba County is scheduled for sentencing in Placer County later this month after a jury found her guilty of 16 felony offenses that included check fraud, forgery, attempted extortion and accepting a bribe.
Yolanda Perez Fryson, 43, deposited checks of no value in order to take money from her personal bank accounts in Placer and Yuba counties, falsified documents to cover up the crimes and, while on administrative leave from her CPS job, used a missing badge from her office to misrepresent herself in an extortion attempt, according to prosecutor Stephanie Macumber of the District Attorney's Office.
A jury deliberated two days before returning Nov. 1 with guilty verdicts on all 16 counts against Fryson.
Placer County Superior Court Judge Joseph O'Flaherty, who presided over the three-week trial, set Nov. 29 for sentencing.

2:25pm (EST)
Shares of Five Below (FIVE, $43.13, up $5.13) are soaring 13% and have traded to a high of $44.35 after the company beat Wall Street's estimates and raised guidance.
Fourth quarter earnings came in at $0.47 a share on revenue of $212 million versus expectations for $0.45 a share on sales of $208 million. The company guided 1Q earnings in-line with the possibility of a beat.
We profiled Five Below's earnings in our Weekly Wrap and said the assumed trade was to go short as it is a heavily shorted stock. However, we mentioned if they beat earnings, shares could zoom past $40.
The option premiums were too expensive for us to play as the April 40 calls (FIVE140419C00040000, $3.40, up 1.95) were at $1.45 going into yesterday's close.
Although these options have easily doubled and have traded up to $4.90, we didn't like the risk/reward the trade offered.
As far as the market, we waited a little late to go to press as we saw some weakness developing and we wanted to see why. Rumors of geopolitical concerns seem to weighing on the indexes again but as long as support holds, the market should see higher levels in April.
The Dow is down 44 points to 16,323 while the S&P 500 is off 4 points to 1,861. The Nasdaq is off 34 points to 4,200 and the Russell 2000 is declining 15 points to 1,162. The S&P Volatility Index ($VIX, 14.63, up 0.61).

The second fight of the night at UFC 129: St. Pierre vs. Shields is Kyle Watson vs. John Makdessi. This is a lightweight fight (155lbs) and classic striker vs. grappler battle. Makdessi is the hometown favorite and a striking specialist. Watson, by contrast, is the American and prefers to wrestle and attempt submissions.
The referee in charge of the action is Dan Miragliotta.
ROUND 1 - Watson starts off in southpaw, Makdessi in orthodox. Makdessi appears noticeably shorter than Watson, but faster as well. Side kick, but not hard, lands for Makdessi. Left hook finds the mark twice as Makdessi counter punches. Knee tap attempt for Watson goes nowhere. Left hook again lands for Watson as the American's head is straight in the air. Two hard left hooks and a right for Makdessi as Watson shows lethargic takedowns. 360 turning side kick finds the mark for Makdessi, but Watson stays strong in the pocket. Makdessi appears lighter on his feet, but the crowd is getting impatient. The takedown attempts of Watson go nowhere.
SBNation.com scores this round 10-9 Makdessi.
ROUND 2 - Makdessi showing a lot of movement early, but not throwing much. Left hook finds the mark twice for Makdessi as Watson charges in. Makdessi lands a twoce nice hard right straights followed by a left hook again as Watson charges in to close the distance. Off balance head kick for Watson partially lands. Spinning hook kick and side kick partially land for Makdessi. Again the left hook of Makdessi is landing, but doesn't seem to pack a ton of power. Hook kick misses for Makdessi as does a huge uppercut. More short hooks inside from Makdessi. And another and that one stumbles Watson. Makdessi showing excellent trunk movement as he evades the punches of Watson. Pot shotted rights and left from Makdessi to close the round.
SBNation.com scores this round 10-9 Makdessi.
ROUND 3 - Makdessi's kick is caught and he fires off several left hooks to evade, but Watson drives Makdessi into the fence. Makdessi escapes. Now Makdessi is being aggressive about his positioning. He's also turning up the volume of strikes. Watson is cut under the left eye. Holy god. Spinning back fist off faked kick puts Watson out cold.
UFC 129 results: John Makdessi defeated Kyle Watson by strikes (KO) at 1:27 of round 3.

The Kimball Cubs volleyball team played in the Sauk Rapids-Rice Tournament Saturday, Sept. 14, and dropped three good battles against three worthy opponents. Their 9 a.m. match resulted in a loss to the Melrose Dutchmen (women), 25-13 and 25-15. Kimball lost its 11 a.m. contest to Holdingford, 15-25, 25-9, and 15-13. The final match for the Cubs was a 3 p.m. clash with a tough Onamia Panthers bunch, who took the victory in a 2-0 sweep. Kimball Coach Scott Heinen is pleased with the girls' enthusiasm and heart. "We finished the tournament 0-3, but we will use this tournament as a bar to evaluate where we're at as a team, and set some goals to build on and learn from in the upcoming events and future of our season. Like all teams that evolve, we will continue to work hard, keep evaluating things, and learn from times of adversity." Heinen said that the kids are determined to be playing their best volleyball by season's end. "The players on the varsity team are great individuals with great character, and together will work to our potential."
Following a slight schedule change, the Eden Valley-Watkins-Kimball cross-country teams competed in the Annandale Invitational (Whispering Pines Golf Course) on Tuesday,
Sept. 10. The Eagles varsity girls captured third place out of the five entrants. The Annandale varsity girls earned first place accolades.

Police seek vital witness to alleged sexual assault
5:27pm Monday 10th February 2014 in News By Dan Bean
POLICE are looking for a vital potential witness to an alleged sexual assault in North Yorkshire.
A horse rider, believed to be a woman, was in the Kirkham Priory area near Malton at about 7.30am on Tuesday, October 29, and disturbed the occupants of a small white van.
North Yorkshire Police want to speak to the rider who may have information which could help their investigation into a number of serious offences, including rape.
A man is in custody awaiting trial, accused of kidnapping a 20-year-old woman in York and raping her during a journey to Malton and back.
Detective Sgt John Spivey of the force's Major Crime Unit, said: "We appreciate that some time has passed since this incident happened, but we hope our appeal will prompt someone's memory.
"It's likely that the rider was unaware that an alleged serious crime was being committed at the time but it is very important that we speak to them as they could have vital information which could help our investigation and I urge them to make contact as soon as possible. If anyone knows any riders who ride in the Kirkham Priory area, we ask you please make them aware of this appeal."
Anyone with information should phone the force control room on 01904 618691.
Mark Anthony Thompson, 36, of Hospital Fields Road off Fulford Road in York, is due to stand trial in April.

Derek Holland got kayoed early, but Max Scherzer's cruising ... with just a little help from his friend behind the catcher, plate umpire Larry Vanover, who has noticeably given Scherzer a couple of called strikes three that were, according to the evidence we can muster, well outside the strike zone:
As Brandon McCarthy observed on Twitter, Vanover's "strike zone" brings back memories of Livan Hernandez and Eric Gregg.
Granted, if you take those plots as gospel, Vanover missed a couple of strikes that were well within the zone. But it's those (apparently) outside pitches that get all the attention, and Vanover simply has to do better than this. Or else he might ... actually he might nothing. MLB is powerless to do anything at all. Which is a shame, but what are you gonna do? Someday we'll have robots and then we'll have one less thing to write (complain) about.
Anyway, Scherzer's given up almost nothing since the first inning, and after five full frames it's still Tigers 3, Rangers 2.

"When your sense got that much in common"
I am not sure what it means.
Could you help please, teachers?
Thank you.

The 2009 baseball season's here. The Royals are in the unusual situation of having a shot at the division while still working on long-term rebuilding.
From the Anti-"Mother's Basement" Royals Blog, now less than 24 hours old ~RN http://haplessroyals.blogspot.com/ -------------- But there is a dark side. The side of the internet I want to systematically destroy. The holier than thou, I know everything about baseball, Baseball Prospectus followers (otherwise known as "Mom's Basement"). Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the website. Why is that you ask? Because they fucking charge for it! And I'm not about to pay for some shit that their mindless lemmings will post REPEATEDLY on every blog, forum and whatnot on the internet. You know who you are. The guy that goes into the forum and posts EVERY made up stat known to nerdly mankind. WARP, VORP, WHIP, BABIP, and every other weirdo stat that website has brainwashed into your daily lexicon. I don't even know what half of that shit means. But here's what I do know. YOU, yes YOU, Mom's Basement, are NOT Royals fans. You're not even baseball fans. You're STAT fans. You don't care if Jose Guillen hit 20 hrs and 90 rbis last year, something that no other Royals had done in longer that most people care to admit. All you care about is that his FRUP isn't up to VORP standards. You don't care that Mark Teahen gives more to the community of Kansas City than anyone else not named Frank White. All you care about is that he isn't the moneyball fanboy you all pegged him to be after reading that ridiculous book a few years ago. And so on and so on. My point is, give it up. Stop pushing your stupid fucking opinions on everyone else. Just because you're a moderator or administrator of a fucking Royals website does not mean you're not a scrawny little man in real life. Everyone hates you, both on the interwebs and in real life, although you hardly notice in real life because for that to happen, you know, you'd have to put on some clothes and leave your fucking desk. But make sure you ask Mom for permission to leave the house. She still worries about you even though you're 30 and still living at home. Oops, I'm sorry I forgot, you moved into your own apartment. But, uh, guy, your Mom's basement, even if it has its own entrance is still Mom's house.
The most recent edition of the "Reds Hot Stove League" radio show featured a contentious but one-sided exchange between a caller ("Kenneth from Dayton") and the Reds' long-time announcer Marty Brennaman. Caller: People here don't realize that Pat Burrell and Adam Dunn don't get paid $12 million to hit .300. They get paid to hit home runs; that's it. Marty: No, they get paid to drive in runs, is what they get paid to do. Caller: And hit home runs. Marty: No, unh-uh. Home runs are incidental. It's run production that they are going to get paid for. Adam Dunn hits 40 home runs and barely reaches a hundred RBI's. Caller: But, if you're going to talk about potential run production, look at his on-base. Marty: (angrily) I don't care about -- I don't care about his on-base! I get so blasted tired hearing some people talk to me about Adam Dunn's on-base percentage. Adam Dunn ain't paid to walk. Adam Dunn's paid to hit home runs and drive in runs for God's sake, and they can take off, uh, they can take off the walks, and you're out of here! (hangs up) . . . Marty: We are heading toward a break. Don't call and talk to me about Adam Dunn's on-base percentage-- Thom: You sure? Marty: --because it pushes my hot button. Thom: I would have never known. Marty: I'm tired of hearing about how many times he walks. He was paid to hit home runs, paid to drive in runs. He homers; he doesn't drive in runs. Thom: You know, you're too old to get worked up like this. So bizarre. Not only does Marty not want to hear about something that is actually more important to a team scoring runs (OBP), but he fails to realize that Dunn actually has driven in a hell of a lot of runs. Radio sports talk guys get this way sometimes. "Don't talk to me about what is really important for a hitter. I know what's important for a hitter! Batting average! [or] RBI's! [or] How he hits with runners on base!"
Fleece it out, boys.
This list is preliminary for the offseason. Looks good to me for now though. 1) Daniel Cortes, RHPAge: 21 | Team: Northwest Arkansas Naturals (AA)2008 Vital Line: 3.98 ERA,110.2 IP, 106/53 K/BBC...

For more than a decade, the name Cinelli has been locally synonymous with Italian cuisine.
Or, more precisely, Italian-American cuisine. Brothers Gianni, Gaitano and Peter Cinelli have, individually or as partners, owned a dozen or so restaurants over that period, scattered all over the Triangle. Their ventures have covered the spectrum from pizzeria to fine dining establishment, but theyve all shared roots in the New York Italian cuisine that the brothers brought with them when they moved here in the late 90s.
With the opening of Vivo in February, Gianni Cinelli aims to shake things up a bit.
This time, I want to cook like we did in Italy, before we came to America, Cinelli says. I want to cook with whats on hand, with the seasons.
To that end, hes shopping more at farmers markets and cooking nearly everything from scratch. That includes fresh mozzarella, which is made daily and takes a star turn in lightly breaded fried mozzarella an appetizer offering that is to ordinary mozzarella sticks as Parmigiano-Reggiano is to Velveeta.
The mozzarella occasionally turns up in a featured special, too - baked with eggplant and house-made marinara in melanzana al forno, say, or blended with ricotta, mascarpone and fresh herbs as a filling for stuffed portobellos.
It pays to check the specials board, where Cinelli celebrates the local harvest and his rejuvenated passion for traditional Italian ways of cooking. In the spring, that meant the likes of vegetarian lasagna with homemade noodles, and fresh escarole soup with cannellini beans.
More recently, the chef is showcasing local watermelon in a balsamic-dressed salad with organic baby arugula, quick-pickled onions and feta cheese. Hes stuffing long-stemmed artichokes with goat cheese and serving them in lemon butter sauce studded with pancetta.
He pounds flank steaks very thin and transforms them into cheese- and herb-stuffed braciole, which he then simmers with Italian sausages and plum tomatoes, and serves over pappardelle pasta.
The regular menu has an Old World slant, too, though longtime fans will be happy to know that Cinelli hasnt entirely jettisoned the Italian-American fare that is the foundation of the familys reputation.
In Italy, meatballs are a special occasion dish, the chef notes, but in America we expect a restaurant to have them available every day. So I make them every day. From scratch. And if you want something thats not on the menu, well make it if we have the ingredients.
No special request is necessary for linguine with white clam sauce, which showcases North Carolina Littlenecks and al dente pasta. Or for chicken scarpariello, a rustic medley of roasted potatoes and pan-seared nuggets of boneless bird in a balsamic reduction punctuated with rosemary and pepperoncini.
Cioppino Terracina is named for the Italian coastal town where the Cinellis have a summer home. While this variation wont displace the San Francisco original on the list of the worlds great seafood stews, it will certainly satisfy a craving for a taste of the sea.
A Cinelli restaurant without pizza would be unthinkable, and Vivos thin, blistery-crusted pies dont disappoint. Just dont plan on sharing a gargantuan family-size pizza. Theyre only offered as 12-inch pizzette here a size that makes for a consistently superior crust (and, not coincidentally, is favored by the best old-school pizzerias).
As a bonus, ordering two or three small pizzas allows you to try different combinations. The classic margherita (theres that fresh mozzarella again) is a must. Beyond that, youre on your own.
Dessert? We make everything but the cannoli shells, the affable Cinelli will tell you when he makes one of his frequent rounds of the dining room. Hes especially proud of his lemon ricotta cheesecake, and rightly so.
Unfortunately, no amount of circulating about the dining room is a sufficient safety net for a wait staff that is generally friendly but inconsistent. Pacing problems in particular I encountered long lag times between courses on two separate occasions are more common than they should be six months after opening.
The atmosphere is casual, with a smattering of pictures and bric-a-brac giving an Italian accent to a space that retains many of the underlying decor elements of Bear Rock Café, the sandwich shop that was a former tenant.
Just inside the entrance, hanging on a front wall, a large framed black-and-white photograph overlooks the dining room. Its a family portrait, taken outdoors a good half century ago, judging by the vintage of the cars in the background.
Ask Gianni Cinelli about the picture, and hell confirm that it was taken in 1965, just as his family was immigrating to New York from Italy.
Im the bambino, he says, indicating the baby in his mothers arms. Thats my dad next to her, with two of my brothers. My other two siblings were born later, in America.
The picture is a touching representation of Gianni Cinellis heritage, of course, but it also neatly sums up his evolving culinary philosophy: Sometimes its a good idea to take a look back at where weve come from.

Political healing anyone?
Fresh off of one of the most contentious presidential elections in recent history, Goshen College students, staff and community members were invited to gather at the college's Umble Center Wednesday morning to take part in a part-lecture, part-ceremony of reconciliation.
The event was aimed at answering two main questions: what is your political identity? and How can you better work with and understand people with different political identities than our own?
Headlining Wednesday's talk was Karl Shelly, pastor of Assembly Mennonite Church and adjunct professor with the Peace, Justice and Conflict Studies program at the college.
In beginning his talk, Shelly first looked at the origins of the word "political", which is derived from the Latin politicus, or polis, meaning city/state.
"In other words, politics is the concern of civil matters," Shelly said. "It's about how the state, how the city, how the community organizes. It's a decision to be made about how to live together, and in a democracy, that's a task that's shared in various ways by the citizenry. So at its best, politics is about the improvement of peoples' lives. At its best, it's about coming together with your neighbors, choosing representatives, and accomplishing things together that you can't separately."
Moving beyond the overarching label of politics in general, Shelly then took a detour into the much more colorful and varied world of political identity.
"Your political identity comes from deciding how you will fit into this political reality," Shelly said, "how you will engage the concerns of your community, how you can advance the societal hopes we have and how you can add your voice to the chorus of competing interests."
One of the most common ways to differentiate one's political identity, Shelly said, is the use of labels: libertarian, anarchist, socialist, etc. Shelly then went on to discuss the three most common labels utilized within the United States today: liberal, moderate and conservative.
"Most people in the United States can place themselves somewhere on this scale," Shelly said, noting that a recent Gallup poll on U.S. Ideological Groups places approximately 40 percent of Americans in the conservative group, 35 percent in the moderate group, 21 percent in the liberal group, and 4 percent having no opinion.
"So there are people who engage in politics in various ways," Shelly said. "You should consider the many different options."
As one example of those various political ideologies and their manifestations, Shelly invited local community organizer and political activist Julia King to share a personal story illustrating her own unique take on political identity.
King began her talk by describing a recent plane trip she took where she was seated next to two women, one an older white woman, and one a middle-aged African American woman, both with political outlooks different from her own.
"Somewhere along the line the election came up. Okay, maybe I brought it up," King joked.
The women went on to talk about the perceived failings or successes of President Obama's first four years. They talked about greed. They talked about abortion, gay marriage and war. Things got heated, and tempers flared.
"It takes a lot of skill and patience to talk about these things without getting angry or provoking anger," King said. "We weren't terribly skilled."
Then, just like that, the mood shifted. The plane hit turbulence, fear set in, and what had just moments before been a group of very dissimilar women became a tight pod of support and reassurance.
"Just like that, the political symposium was over," King said. "So here's the obvious moral of the story: that airplane is our country, or even our world. We are all buckled in together. Opting out is simply not an option. We may disagree, and at times we should feel morally obligated to disagree, but we still need one another."
Also joining Shelly on stage Wednesday was Goshen College Professor of History John Roth, who provided his own unique take on political identity as it relates to his Christian faith.
Central to Roth's outlook was the idea that one can be political without necessarily participating in the standard political process, namely the right to vote. Roth, as a rule, does not vote in presidential elections.
"The decision not to vote is part of my political identity," Roth said. "Not voting is a reminder that my political identity is not defined primarily by what happens at the State House in Indianapolis or the White House in Washington D.C. When we spend $2 billion on elections driven by negative adds, by fear and emotion, we end up with a very skewed view of what political responsibility means.
"What if, instead, you would commit yourself to a different kind of political identity, beginning with acts of compassion and healing, focused on the frayed edges of your own local community," he continued. "Along the way, practice the habit of looking at every person you meet as a child of God, speak and live in truth, and look for ways to participate with God in the healing of our broken world."

BK Press Release Oct 5 2011
Brooklyn, N.Y. - Long Island University's Brooklyn Campus School of Business, Public Administration and Information Sciences and the Brooklyn Economic Development Corporation (BEDC) announced a new collaboration to bring entrepreneurship training to Brooklyn residents.
"This partnership is a tremendous opportunity to bring entrepreneurship training to the small business owners, aspiring entrepreneurs in the borough of Brooklyn and the Long Island University community," declared Mohammed Ghriga, dean of the School of Business, who made the joint announcement with Joan Bartolomeo, president of BEDC.
The School of Business has recently launched an interdisciplinary minor in entrepreneurship for undergraduate students. The Entrepreneur Assistance Program (EAP) will be non-credit-bearing and open to residents and small business owners in Brooklyn, as well as to the parents of Brooklyn Campus students and Long Island University alumni.
The program is funded under a grant from New York State's Empire State Development Corporation, with Capital One Bank providing matching funds. Other sponsors are the Brooklyn Public Library, the Staten Island Small Business Development Center and the Brooklyn Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
The program will introduce a curriculum developed by NxLeveL, a non-profit educational corporation. With the philosophy of "Learn it tonight, use it tomorrow," NxLeveL is the nation's largest entrepreneurial training network. Since 1994, over 200,000 students have participated in NxLeveL training, and over 7,000 professionals have become certified instructors. Training has been implemented in every state, as well as in American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico.
Program participants pay a nominal $300 fee for 60 hours of classroom instruction and one-to-one technical assistance. While the ultimate goal of the program is the completion of a comprehensive business plan, participants also leave class with new critical thinking skills. This leads to key strategic actions in the development of their business practices. Participants who successfully complete the program will receive a certificate of completion.
The class will meet from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. one night per week beginning Oct. 11 (see website at www.bedc.org for schedule) at the Brooklyn Campus. The fee of $300, payable upon registration, includes 60+ hours of instruction and technical assistance, a manual and a workbook. To register, call (718) 368-6790.
BEDC is a private not-for-profit organization founded in 1979. Its mission is to "seek to create and expand economic opportunity throughout Brooklyn by implementing business and neighborhood development and planning activities to support and create sustainable jobs, industries and communities." It is funded primarily through New York City and New York State and grants and contracts. Funders include the NYC Department of Small Business Services, and NYS Empire State Development, along with private and corporate contributions.
The Brooklyn Campus is distinguished by...dynamic curricula reflecting the great urban community it serves. Distinctive programs encompass the arts and media, the natural sciences, business, social policy, urban education, the health professions and pharmacy, and include the Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, the Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics, the D.P.T. in Physical Therapy and the Pharm.D. in Pharmacy. A vibrant urban oasis in downtown Brooklyn, this diverse and thriving campus offers academic excellence, personalized attention, small class size and flexible course schedules. In 2006, a $45-million Wellness, Recreation and Athletic Center was opened to serve the Campus and the surrounding community. In 2007, the Cyber Café was launched, providing a high-tech hot spot for students and faculty members to meet and eat.

This is a very fun and delicate dihedral problem with some finger power and interesting footwork required. Start with fingers matched in a slot at about crotch height. A tiny, difficult-to-match lip provides starting feet. Work your way up the dihedral until you can reach the midway jug at the lip. You can either use the ledge to the left and top out that way, or eliminate the ledge altogether and top out up right with a series of sloping rails and a proper mantle move.
Git yous a pad.

After mounting the Candy Corn Boulder you will be standing beneath two obvious large knobs on a steep face with a ramp/large flake on your right. Not using the ramp, mantle the knobs and continue straight up on smaller knobs. Avoid exiting right towards the top which is easier. To make a longer, more moderate route continuing up from the Candy Corn Boulder, use the ramp/large flake to mount the two large knobs and then continue straight up (5.8 or 5.9) or once on knobs, angle right a bit to an obvious large hold to mount the top (5.7). IMHO, this is how the route should be described with the 5.10+ mantle being a variation. Which way was the first ascent done...?
Popcorn, according to Rock Climbs of Placerville by William H. Cottrell, is the top half of rock above Candy Corn Boulder. Popcorn is usually toproped as the protection is nil up there. There are two bolts as anchors left of Popcorn at the top of Beginner Cracks but these anchors make for a pendulum left if you come off on the face. There may be anchors to trees where long slings would be necessary.

Players at Pendaries Golf Course forage for pars and birdies in mountainous highlands blanketed by ponderosa pines. The 18-hole course ranges in elevation between 7,500 feet and 8,000 feet, which not only makes for some dramatic mountain views, but might also net golfers a few extra yards on their drives thanks to thin mountain air and eagles who mistake golwf balls for dropped eggs. As players concentrate on navigating the hard dogleg turns and blind approaches into undulant greens, their attentions may also be pulled toward the horizon, where the white peaks of the Sange de Cristo range loom over the expansive Rociada Valley.
Though certainly the crown jewel of Pendaries Village, the course is only a part of the experience there. When they're not playing golf, players can stay at the course's lodging and explore a wide spectrum of diversions offered by the 5,000-acre village. Once a home to grist-mill businesses and horse breeding operations, the resort offers outdoorsy activities such as fishing, disc golf, and hiking to destinations such as Upper Maestas Canyon and Gascon Point, elevation 11,600 feet. The old grist mill, meanwhile, still stands, giving guests a glimpse into the state of technology in 1875, when log cabins were standard and cowboys had to cook their Hot Pockets over an open flame.
Bead Fest Santa Fe unites do-it-yourselfers and arts-and-crafters during a four-day celebration of beads, jewelry—and for good measure—some more beads. More than 150 booths and tables set up shop for the event, each ready to restock repertoires with gems, stones, and a hodgepodge of other supplies.
In between exploring the sea of exhibitors, attendees learn about the latest techniques, tricks, and tools at nearly 100 all-inclusive workshops (not included with the price of admission). There, artists from around the country provide education on specific topics in classes such as Intro to Metalsmithing and Wire Weaving, where guests learn the craftiest way to escape prison. Free demonstrations, book signings, and other attractions round out the fest's collection of creative attractions.
Five kilometers of mud stands between a pack of runners and the title of Gladiator. The Ultimate Gladiator Dash obstacle course winds through trees and hills before finally completing its loop, but the real challenge lies in the mud pits and numerous other obstacles that block the runners at every turn. Challengers must conquer 9-foot inclines, leap blindly over sandbag walls, climb ropes, and navigate water obstacles, including a 100-foot water slide. After vanquishing the obstacles and reaching the finish line, participants head to the after party for music and beer.
With four museums and six monuments, the nonprofit Museum of New Mexico Foundation keeps the state's artistic and cultural heritage alive with enthralling permanent collections, exhibits, and events. Art aficionados can marvel at more than 20,000 works by artists with strong ties to the state in the New Mexico Museum of Art, check out more than 1,300 artifacts in the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture, and attempt to tape their "lost cat" flyers to more than 100,000 items culled from 100 countries at the Museum of International Folk Art. Meanwhile, the New Mexico History Museum's 30,000-square-foot exhibition space covers topics ranging from the Santa Fe Trail to World War II through art, maps, and photographs.
After each museum visit, guests can stop by the Coronado State Monument, which marks the spot where Coronado and his crew entered the Rio Grande Valley in search of the Seven Cities of Gold and their lost car keys. The foundation's sextet of monuments also includes the stone ruins of a 500-year-old Indian village at Jemez and exhibits on frontier and military life at Fort Selden.
Nestled on the outskirts of the Santa Fe National Forest in the Pojoaque Valley, Estrella Del Norte Vineyard not only creates its own wines, but also stocks, sells, and hosts samplings of many other Northern New Mexico ambrosias. Arriving visitors meander down a pebbled pathway, past a flower garden, eclectic sculptures, and adorable grapevines whining for affection, entering the quaint tasting room lined on one side by a rustic wooden bar. Groups gather around tables, studying lists and sampling wines originating from the likes of Santa Fe Vineyards, Black Mesa Winery, and the homegrown vines just a stone's throw from the tasting room's set of tall french doors.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, visitors would stop to rest at the historic El Rancho de las Golondrinas as they began or ended their long journeys along the royal road that stretched between Santa Fe and Mexico City. In the 20th and 21st centuries, Matt Damon, Salma Hayek, Val Kilmer, and the cast and crew of some 30 films used the ranch's 200 scenic acres and 34 historic structures as backdrops to their movies and personalized birthday cards. With preserved and restored villages dating back to the early 1700s sloping through a rural farming valley, the grounds collapse time, bringing the past to the present and the present to the past.
Today, guests wander this living history museum to explore how colonial and frontier life was lived the Southwest. During a self-guided tour, visitors pick up or download a map of the ranch before weaving through a snapshot of history brought to life by villagers clothed in the styles of the time. Feet patter past a molasses mill, a blacksmith shop, and defensive towers where guards kept watch on the horizon and coordinated messages for passing UFOs. With a reservation, docents will lead you through the trails that cut through a landscape dotted with goats, sheep, burros, and horses, fostering an understanding of the culture and arts of historic New Mexico.
