Master of Science in Occupational Therapy
The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy is a post-baccalaureate entry-level practice degree intended for students who want to study to become practicing occupational therapists.
The entry level MSOT program is a full-time on-campus graduate program offered at the W.A. Lettinga campus. The Master of Science in Occupational Therapy at Davenport University provides practice-based education that prepares students to be exceptional practitioners. Classroom education is supported by extensive hands-on training provided through on-campus practical activities and off-campus immersion experiences in practice settings. Small class sizes and individualized instruction by experienced clinicians and educators assist students master skills needed for contemporary and emerging areas of practice.
Length of Program
The MSOT program (78 credits) is delivered as a full-time on-campus program. Students enter the occupational therapy program in the Fall Semester and progress through the program as a cohort. The typical program is 28 months in length and is conducted over 7 consecutive semesters (including summers).
Occupational Therapy Program Philosophy
The field of occupational therapy is concerned with the ability of individuals, families, and societal groups to participate in activities of daily life and engage in personally meaningful occupations. Occupations are all the activities that give our lives meaning and promote health, well-being, and sense of purpose. Due to human diversity, engagement in occupations at any point in the life span is unique. Occupations are as unique as the individuals themselves. Disruption of occupations can be caused by illness, injury, disease, or life events. In situations such as these, functional abilities and independence may be diminished or lost resulting in loss of well-being and sense of purpose.
The primary objective of occupational therapy is to support persons of all ages and with all levels of ability to fully participate in life. Occupational therapy evaluation and intervention focuses on factors impacting participation such as body structure and function; functional abilities; the nature of the activities to be performed; and the context of participation. Engagement in occupations is not just the goal of therapy, but is also a therapy tool. Participation in meaningful activity is therapeutic in itself.
Participation in education is considered part of the human occupational experience. Occupational therapy education programs have the mission of educating students to become practitioners of the future. Students are likely drawn to the field as an educational choice due to alignment of values and envisioning their future roles as occupational therapists.
The Occupational Therapy Department at Davenport University is an academic program focused on student learning and achievement. The program's curriculum design, course construction, and instructional approach reflect the belief that learning is strongly influenced by intrinsic motivation and that the motivational needs of students can be addressed through a thoughtfully constructed education program. The occupational therapy program teaching approach is founded on a hierarchical structure that builds on prior knowledge and guides students forward and upward through introduction, reinforcement, and mastery of concepts. Implementation strategies include classroom instruction, experiential learning, self-directed study, and self-reflection. Our goal is to provide practice-based education that is knowledge-driven and prepares students to be team oriented and client-centered clinicians who incorporate principles of human occupation into their practice.
Student Learning Outcomes
Four concepts (curricular threads) are emphasized throughout the Davenport University Occupational Therapy program:
- Professional identity
- Professional and social responsibility
- Effective and exemplary practice
- Knowledge-driven clinical reasoning
The four curricular threads provide the foundation for evaluation of student performance and overall success of the program. At the conclusion of the Master of Science in Occupational Therapy program graduates will:
- Interpret the importance of purposeful activity and meaningful occupation to consumers, colleagues, administrators, and policy makers;
- Integrate concepts of human occupation into evaluation, treatment, goals and documentation;
- Demonstrate professional and social responsibility through socially and culturally competent communication and interaction;
- Exemplify professionalism through ethical behavior, advocacy, and leadership supporting the diverse needs of individuals, communities, and society;
- Appraise and recommend effective interactive, adaptive, and technological approaches intended to facilitate communication, enhance function, and promote participation;
- Implement exemplary practice utilizing depth and breadth of knowledge, skills, and abilities in assessment and treatment;
- Evaluate options to address challenging issues in practice and the profession through clinical reasoning, creative problem solving, and critical thinking; and
- Advance best-practice in contemporary and emerging areas of practice by consistently seeking, critically reviewing, and utilizing information from the literature and credible sources.
Admission Requirements
At the time of application, students must have:

Criminal Background Check and Drug Screening Policy
Davenport University
All students in the Davenport University College of Health Professions are required to submit to criminal back ground checks and drug screenings. The results of the checks/testing, which remain confidential, will be used to determine a student's eligibility for continued enrollment in the College of Health Professions and the Occupational Therapy program. Students who refuse to consent to criminal background checks and/or drug testing will be dismissed from the program. The cost of background checks and drug screenings are part of course fees and are therefore the responsibility of the student.
National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy
Persons who have been charged with or convicted of a felony may be barred from being certified by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). NBCOT certification must be successfully completed to practice as an occupational therapist.

Regional Accreditation
Davenport University is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (30 N. LaSalle Street, Chicago, IL 60602-2504).
Occupational Therapy Accreditation
The Occupational Therapy program at Davenport University has received Candidacy Status from Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) and is moving through the typical two-year accreditation process. Candidacy Status indicates that Davenport University may enroll students into the program and conduct occupational therapy courses and fieldwork. Candidacy Status does not guarantee that a program will become accredited at the end of the accreditation process. However, Candidacy Status indicates that ACOTE has thoroughly reviewed the program's candidacy application and has determined that the program's plans and resources provide evidence of the program's ability to meet ACOTE standards and requirements leading to accreditation.

ann chamberlain distinguished visiting artist program in interdisciplinary studies
Named in honor of artist and SFAI faculty member Ann Chamberlain and launched in 2010, the Ann Chamberlain Distinguished Visiting Artist Program in Interdisciplinary Studies was created as a lasting reminder of Ann Chamberlain's contributions to SFAI and to the art world at large. The program includes public lectures and colloquia by distinguished visitors, as well as symposia and publications, and is meant to facilitate sustained on-campus residencies that enable discussions of process, aesthetics, cultural influences, and career paths. The program is envisioned to provide SFAI's students with direct access to artists and thinkers whose contributions to contemporary interdisciplinary practices and methodologies represent the highest level of achievement.
The Ann Chamberlain Distinguished Visiting Artist Program in Interdisciplinary Studies is supported by a generous bequest by artist and SFAI faculty member Ann Chamberlain made through the Harker Trust Fund at the San Francisco Foundation.

People and Places: A Symposium on Public Practices in Honor of Ann Chamberlain, June 29-30, 2010
A two-day symposium in honor of former SFAI faculty member and artist Ann Chamberlain, "People and Places" launched a sustained inquiry at SFAI into contemporary public practices. Pursued in conventionally artistic or increasingly hybridized ways, permissioned or nonpermissioned, and publicly underwritten or privately supported, the work of cultural producers in the public sphere is ongoing. The need to interrogate the foundations of such work is also ongoing, and that interrogation is itself inflected by increasingly nuanced and contested understandings, in a globalized world, of the signal concepts "public" and "practice."
"People and Places" was structured around a series of open-ended questions related to this vital strain of cultural activity: What does it mean for a contemporary artists to work in public settings or to solicit exchanges with the general populace? How do notions of "generosity" as a mode of social interaction, of "storytelling" as a project of collective history, and of "community" as a way of defining common ground inform creative strategies of public engagement? How are such negotiations located in particular places and enacted within particular social and political contexts?
Taken up by practitioners who work with people and places in a wide variety of forms and approaches, these questions informed three moderated conversations: Defining Community, Practicing Generosity, and Telling Stories.
Participants included Andrea Bowers, Glen Helfand, Jessica Hobbs, Walter Hood, Helena Keefe, Julie Lazar, Malcolm Margolin, Jeannene Przyblyski, Pedro Reyes, Susan Schwartzenberg, and Natasha Wheat.

Montpellier could have all but put the title race to bed this week in Ligue 1, but it's still going thanks to their draw on Tuesday and PSG's win on Wednesday. The gap between Montpellier and PSG is down to just three points with three games remaining. In other parts of the table, Lyon got back into a Europa League place and the relegation race stayed a giant mess.
AC Ajaccio 2-1 Sochaux
Ajaccio are now a full three points clear of the drop and Sochaux are stuck in 19th place. They managed eight shots, three shots on target, had 35 percent possession and Ajaccio missed a penalty, so this score is flattering. Someone please free Marvin Martin.
Bordeaux 2-0 Rennes
Rennes are now behind Lyon and out of Europe, as it stands. Yann M'Vila played 90 minutes in this match even though he had a little run-in with the cops a couple of days ago. Ludovic Obraniak scored his fourth goal in the new year to open the scoring and Landry N'Guemo sealed the win with Bordeaux's second, assisted by wonderkid turned game-changing sub Henri Saivet.
Brest 0-0 Toulouse
You know what's going to be fun? When Etienne Capoue goes to a mid-table Premier League team and everyone goes OMG WTF THIS GUY CAME FROM NOWHERE. Toulouse's defensive midfielders were the only thing that was okay about this game being a thing.
Caen 1-0 Lorient
Both of these teams are on 38 points and are four points clear of the drop after this match. They're probably both safe. Thomas Heurtaux scored the winner with an impressive strike from outside the box.
Lyon 4-1 Valenciennes
Perhaps this was payback for the first meeting between these two teams, in which Lyon were putrid in a 1-0 defeat. This one was actually in doubt for a while, but Lyon poured it on late. Lisandro Lopez netted the opener in the 35th minute but Lyon gave away a penalty just three minutes later, which Renaud Cohade converted. The second half featured Lyon pouring it on with goals from Cris, Lopez and Jimmy Briand. They're now two points ahead of Rennes for fourth.
Marseille 1-0 Nancy
Aww, Marseille are up to 10th. Good for them.
Nice 0-1 Lille
As if Lyon had any hope of regaining 3rd place, that hope was dashed on Wednesday with Lille's win. They're two points behind PSG and five behind Montpellier, so they're not mathematically out of the title race and they're not even realistically out of the race for the automatic Champions League spot in second. Tulio De Melo scored the game's only goal in the 6th minute and Nice didn't really do anything to push for an equalizer.
PSG 2-0 St. Etienne
PSG scored the opening goal and eventual winner on a penalty given for a very hard, dumb foul by Sylvain Marcal. Boooooo. Javier Pastore scored the second goal in the the 89th minute from open play. Yaaaay.

Mercatus Update: Academic Freedom
by Chris Bowers, Wed Jan 26, 2005 at 09:25:43 AM EST
So far, I have received some emails on the subject, including a message from a Mercatus Center prof who vigorously protested to being classified as part of the Republican Noise Machine. A colleague of mine has contacted some staffers who were angry at our attempts to stifle "academic freedom," or something to that effect. And, quite clearly, Roemer staffers have not appreciated the characterization of the Mercatus Center I have put forth.
In elliptical fashion, I would like to deal with all of these protests by first addressing the notion of "academic freedom" as it relates to Mercatus.
According to its highly trafficked Web site, Heritage has eight employees doing p.r. work full-time, runs a 365-day-per-year, twenty-four-hour-per-day media hot line, disseminates to the pres a weekly "hot sheet," has its own TV and radio studios in its Capitol Hill offices, and syndicates op-eds through the Knight-Ridder wire service. When Heritage is mentioned in a major publication like the Washington Post, it blast-faces and e-mails the piece to hundreds of smaller newspapers, op-ed editors, syndicated columnists, and talk show producers. An examination of the Web site in spring 2003 showed that Heritage was gaining about forty mentions in just the major print press alone per week. (58)And this influence shows in its domination of the news:The center-right slant in media citations of think tanks continued in 2002, with conservative groups receiving 47 percent of last year's citations, centrists 41 percent and progressives 12 percent--the least representation for the left since 1998.Its getting worse:Even as media reliance on think tanks increased in 2003, the slant in coverage toward conservative groups and away from progressives held steady. While mainstream media citations of the top 25 think tanks increased 13 percent from 2002 to 2003, right-leaning institutions received 47 percent of last year's citations, with centrists getting 39 percent and 13 percent going to groups that leaned to the left.(...)
Conservative think tanks, buoyed by their appearances on cable news outlets such as Fox News and MSNBC, received 52 percent of electronic citations. Centrists garnered 37 percent of citations in the electronic media, while progressives received only 11 percent of such mentions.This all came from huge donors, and is well coordinated (again quoting from Brock): In addition to the Olin and Coors family foundations, run by two brothers who own a huge oil and natural gas firm, Kock Industries, founded by their father, Fred Koch, a charter member of the John Birch society.... The Milwaukee-based Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, founded by automotive parts manufacturer Harry Bradley, also an active member of the John Birch Society; and Richard Mellon Scaife, heir to the Mellon banking and oil fortune and a major Goldwater and Nixon supporter.... Along with the Smith Richardson Foundation, funded by the Vicks VapoRub empire, Olin, Bradley, and Scaife are known with the movement as the "Four Sisters."
Run by neocon ideologues, these foundations provide the crucial seed money, and sustained general operating funds, that are critical to successful institution building. Their multimillions are then matched by donations from top corporate foundations, including the Amoco and Alcoa foundations, the JM Foundation, the Rockwell International Corporation Trusts, and the Ford Motor Company Fund. The funding strategies of the donors are coordinated by a directorate of top conservative leaders who sit on the Philanthropy Roundtable, while the overall agenda of the movement is loosely set by shadowy organizations of top conservative activists and Far Right politicians, such as the Council for National Policy (a secretive organization of leaders with a religious Right bent) and the Library Court group0 (named after a small street in the nation's capital and convened biweekly by Paul Weyrich).
Another important coordinating function is performed by conservative activist and New Gingrich protégé Grover Norquist, president of an anti-tax group, Americans for Tax Reform. (79)And these donors are exactly the same donors who fund the Mercatus Center. Exactly the same.
Now, I know that Democratic congressional staffers are not idiots who will be easily brainwashed by right-wing ideology. Further, since Mercatus is not a think tank in the pure sense of the term (it is nominally affiliated with an actual academic institution, George Mason University), it is not surprising that not everyone who works with the Mercatus Center is a right-wing ideologue of the sort that would be found at, say, Heritage. However, this does not change the structural underpinnings of Mercatus as an institution, which is nearly identical to the structural underpinnings of all other right wing think tanks. And I think we can all agree that institutions have functions and power that easily supercede the disparate intentions of their individual members.
If someone wishes to disagree with my characterization of the Mercatus Center, fine. However, when they do so, they need to answer
- If the Mercatus Center is not at least intended to be part of the Republican Noise Machine, why is the funding of the Mercatus Center identical to the funding of virtually every right-wing think tank?
- If the Mercatus Center is not achieving its desired function as a part of the Republican Noise Machine, then why do these same donors continue to provide tremendous financial support to it?
- If the Mercatus Center is not trying to influence national policy in favor of conservatism, then what is it doing inviting Democratic congressional staffers to attend a lavish retreat that includes seminars whose very titles contain conservative talking points on topics such as Social Security?
I have said it before, and I will say it again. If you are a Democratic congressional staffer, do not attend the Mercatus retreat. If you have already reserved a place, cancel it. If you are not going, tell other staffers why. If you are going, I promise that you will be hearing from the netroots on this matter, and not just between now and February 5th. Stay away from the Republican Noise Machine. Take the red pill. Talk to the grassroots, not to conservative influence peddlers.

Police closed Watford FC pub after former Hornets owner quit supervisor role (From Watford Observer)

Police closed Yellow and Red Lion hours before Crystal Palace game after learning Laurence Bassini had quit supervisor role
Updated 8:50am Wednesday 20th February 2013 in Watford FC News By Mike Wright, Chief Reporter
Police shut a Watford FC fans' pub hours before the match against Crystal Palace FC after learning former Hornets owner Laurence Bassini was quitting as supervising manager.
Watford Chief Inspector Nick Caveney said he temporarily closed the Yellow and Red Lion as the Stanmore businessman's decision left confusion over who was responsible for the venue.
The closure means the pub, in Vicarage Road, will now need to have its licence reviewed by Watford Borough Council.
In a report to the council, officers said Laurence Bassini had been designated premises supervisor (DPS) since April but had not been in the pub since it opened due to his status as a "figure of hate" among Watford FC fans.
Watford Borough Council said Mr Bassini had applied to be removed as DPS in January but the application was rejected as it did not include the statutory fee or premises licence.
John Corkett, a Hertfordshire Constabulary licensing officer, said police had concerns about the running of the Yellow and Red Lion under Mr Bassini prior to its closure.
In a report to the committee, Mr Corkett said: "Mr Bassini is unfortunately a figure of hate as far as Watford supporters are concerned.
"He has not set foot in the venue since it reopened for business under his tenure in April 2012. A DPS does not have to be physically present in a venue but it is preferable that he/she has some idea of what issues are apparent."
Mr Corkett said Mr Bassini had leased the premises to a "Mr A" who was running it, but did not have personal licence to sell alcohol.
He added: "As far as Hertfordshire Constabulary was concerned this was a very unsatisfactory state of affairs.
"It effectively meant that although Mr Bassini was not breaking the law by choosing to remain as DPS, he could not have any knowledge of issues arising and was so remote from day to day operations that he declined to be part of any process or dialogue with police to address licensing concerns.
"The venue is a potential flashpoint for disorder."
Mr Corkett said police had wanted to discuss issues around preventing disorder during the Crystal Palace match with Mr Bassini in the week before the fixture.
However the day before the match the force learned he wanted to relinquish his post of DPS.
Among the documents submitted to the council was a report from Watford Chief Inspector, Nick Caveney, explaining why he decided to shut the Yellow and Red Lion pub hours before the Crystal Palace match.
In his report, Chief Insepector Caveney said there had been other match day problems with the pub since it opened.
In October glass bottles thrown into and from the pubs ground before a Peterborough game. Away fans had also been spotted in the pub on separate occasions in December and January.
Chief Inspector Caveney was in charge of the police operation for the Crystal Palace match and said he was only informed about the lack of clarity surrounding the pub's ownership on the morning of the game.
After meeting with "Mr A" he decided to close the pub using a section 161 order.
Chief Inspector Caveney cited the previous problems, the heightened risk of disorder at the Crystal Palace match and the management situation at the pub as reasons for its closure.
Following the incident Hertfordshire Constabulary is seeking to add a condition to the pub's licence that someone with a personal licence to sell alcohol be present at the venue when Watford FC are playing.
Watford Borough Council is due to review the pub's licence next week.

I have visited the pub on many occasions when I had a relative in the hospital. I have no idea about the ownership or what goes on on match days.
I simply speak as I find. Decent pub, decent grub, clean, and friendly service. That is what people want and long may you continue to give it.

I don't know the terms of the lease, but if it's a fixed fee, then Bas does not gain by Watford fans patronising it. Andy is entitled to his opinion, but then so too are the very many Hornet fans who find it a convenient place to meet and share a pint on match days.

On a more serious note, while he continues to have any financial relationship with the pub then its success is more likely to increase the value of the freehold so people will boycott. The sooner Josh & Neil Price are rid of their landlord the better.

Fans may be upset over the closure on a match day, but could I remind folks that licensing laws are strict and have to be strictly observed and enforced and if the police weren't sure who was supposed to be in charge because the documentation wasn't there, then they were probably justified in closing it.
Surely the only way for the situation to be resolved is for all sides, including whoever does own the pub and whoever is managing it, to sit down and sort it out when the licence is reviewed?

ELMWOOD, Ill. -- More than two years after a tornado devastated downtown Elmwood there are more signs that the city is rebounding.
Beginning this Spring, downtown Elmwood will shine a little brighter at night and pedestrians will navigate sidewalks easier.
"The sidewalks there they are sort of two level with the stairs. So, anytime you touch sidewalks you have to make sure they are ADA accessible. The whole sidewalks will be in compliance with accessibility codes," said project engineer George Ghareeb.
George Ghareeb said new sidewalks, with rails and ramps will be installed as part of $2 million streets-cape program provided by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
The timing could not be better for restaurant owner Shawn Jones who recently finished remodeling his eatery which opened a year and a half ago.
"We have a great support from the people locally out here in Elmwood and in this area. We're looking for people from Peoria and Galesburg to realize that Elmwood's not that far away and it's a beautiful community and a great place to spend the day with the family," she said.
Since a tornado devastated downtown Elmwood in June of 2010, recovery has been slow. It did not stop Sarah Carter from opening a hardware store a year ago.
"Everything helps all the businesses. If you walk out the front of the store I've got this nice little wrought iron fence and they're gonna put benches and beautiful lights. It brings people downtown," she said.
Restaurant patron Pat Vaughan says it will be nice to see the lights on downtown again.
"One thing I've really missed is the lights because at Christmas we always had banners hanging up from each light post and this year we couldn't do that cause there was no light post, so we put our happy holidays in the middle of the park," said Vaughan.
With the beautification project in the works, residents and business owners hope it will bring not only visitors but more companies to the community.

As we move deeper into the awards campaign season, a glut of films with showy central performances are hitting our screens, "For Your Consideration" for Academy voters. Over the years it's been the subject of many a comedy sketch that there are a few markers of an Academy-friendly role, and this week's "Dallas Buyers Club" (you can read our review here) is pretty much lousy with with them: it's based on a true story, deals with AIDS and features not one but two instances of actors undergoing rapid and dramatic physical transformation to play their parts.
Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto both lost an extreme amount of weight to play Ron Woodruff and the transgender Rayon, respectively, both of whom have been diagnosed with HIV. Leto reportedly dropped 30 pounds, while McConaughey, shrank by a reported 40. McConaughey had apparently planned to stop the weight loss, which he achieved simply by not eating (no gruelling exercise regimen, because after all he wanted to look sick) at 145 pounds, but kept going until, at 135, people stopped asking if he was all right and started suggesting he seek help. "And I thought," he told Vanity Fair, "'There we go. That's the perfect spot.'" In fact he had consulted Tom Hanks (see below) for advice on how to achieve the weight loss—Hanks, as you'll remember, won an Oscar for "Philadelphia" for which he lost 25 pounds to play an AIDs sufferer.
But whether or not Leto or McConaughey find their efforts rewarded with a shot at Oscar, they certainly join the pantheon of actors who have undergone dramatic physical transformations for a role. Sometimes it involves vast, shocking and potentially health-damaging weight loss, other times vast, shocking and potentially health-damaging weight gain, and still other times it's largely down to make up or prosthetics or a combination of the above. But a great number of well-known actors have shown up (some more than once) in a film and been almost unrecognizable from the people who wave at us from red carpets. After much inter-Playlist wrangling, here are 15 actors whose transformations, however physically grueling or not they may have been for the actor, have yielded among the most dramatic results we've seen.
Christian Bale, "The Machinist" (2004)
Without a doubt Christian Bale is deserving of his spot here, if not for this film, then for bulking back up after it to play Batman (gaining 100 pounds in six months—mostly muscle mass—is crazy, and in fact he apparently overdid it and had to then drop 40 for Christopher Nolan's film), prior to losing a great deal of that bulk again for Werner Herzog's "Rescue Dawn." However it was Brad Anderson's "The Machinist" which yielded the most shocking results (indeed Bale is on record about how irritated he is that his skeletal frame dominated the discourse around the movie to the point of obliteration), with Bale losing 55-60 pounds by subsisting largely on "coffee and apples."
Charlize Theron, "Monster" (2003)
Weight gain was only a fraction of the total make-under that the gorgeous erstwhile model Charlize Theron had to undergo to portray serial killer Aileen Wuornos in Patty Jenkins' unremittingly grim "Monster." Additionally, she had her skin layered with washed off tattoo ink to give it a weathered, chapped look; her eyebrows were partially shaven and bleached out; she wore dentures; and had her hair repeatedly thinned and fried. The comprehensive, jaw-dropping uglying up paid off though—Theron picked up stellar notices and an Academy Award, and even rotting dentures couldn't stop her from being voted World's Most Desirable Woman in 2003 by AskMen.
Robert De Niro, "Raging Bull" (1980)
Probably the patron saint of any list like this, Robert De Niro's weight gain for the role of latter-day Jake La Motta is legendary by this stage, largely due to the absolutely classic piece of American filmmaking of which it was in service. Packing on 60 pounds to accurately convey the girth of the once-great boxer gone to seed, De Niro's method was also among the most pleasurable we've heard of: during a 4-month hiatus from filming designed for just this purpose, he basically ate his way around Italy and France before returning to film the movie's later scenes. Cheese and pasta, people, cheese and pasta.
Rooney Mara, "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" (2011)
David Fincher's adaptation of the Stieg Larsson international bestseller is undoubtedly her most high-profile role, so it's a little hard to remember that Rooney Mara was once the sweet-faced ingenue of "Tanner Hall" and the pointless "A Nightmare On Elm Street" remake. But after playing another fresh-faced, if slightly more acerbic character in Fincher's "The Social Network" and being Final Girl in a grueling casting circus that went on for months, Mara had her hair dyed and cut, her eyebrows bleached, had four piercings put in either ear as well as having her brow and nipple pierced (the other body modifications were faked) and emerged as Lisbeth Salander. The result is undoubtedly iconic, and it garnered her an Oscar nomination too.
Jared Leto, "Chapter 27" (2007)
So, "Dallas Buyers Club" was hardly the first time that 30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto underwent a dramatic weight change for a role, but back in 2007 it was in the entirely opposite direction. In order to play John Lennon's assassin, the schlubby Mark Chapman, in the days leading up to the killing, Leto gained 67 pounds, but apparently found this much harder to do than the drastic weight loss he had endured once before for Darren Aronofsky's "Requiem for a Dream." In fact, while he has obviously gone back to the weight-loss well again, he's sworn off gaining weight as fast and as recklessly as he did for "Chapter 27"—his body went into a kind of shock at the sudden excess weight, forcing Leto temporarily into a wheelchair and giving him gout. And while Leto himself was singled out for praise, the film was largely negatively received. Still, transformation fans might also like to check it out for a pre-descent Lindsay Lohan.

With so much emphasis on weight loss or weight gain via fat, you've missed a bunch where actors gained muscle for roles. The most obvious of these would be Edward Norton getting ripped for American History X. The actor, who has a small frame to begin with, has never returned to a body nearly like that since.

The lotus is called padma in both Sanskrit and Tibetan. Rooted in muddy slime, the lotus rises through water to emerge into the sun, a progress that mirrors the journey of man's soul. Mired in suffering and sin, we pass through varied experiences before emerging into the sun of enlightenment. It is said that our hearts are like the closed petals of a lotus. Imbibing Buddhist virtues will enable the lotus to blossom into its full beauty. This is why the Buddha is often depicted seated on a lotus. The lotus symbol Buddha pendant measures 1.25 inches high/wide and is made of lead-free pewter.

Although the official tread of Vermont's Long Trail doesn't start until the Massachusetts-Vermont state line, this first section of the northeast's most storied thru-hike begins just outside Williamstown in the north corner of Massachusetts. The trail picks up a significant climb right from the gun, scaling Pine Cobble and then East Mountain before accessing the Appalachian Trail on the approach to the state line.
The official Long Trail continues north/northeast on a remote and rugged path. On this section you'll cross numerous logging and jeep roads as the trail skirts beaver ponds, power line clearings, and wooded summits in southern Vermont. This section's steepest pitch comes on the final rock-step descent from Harmon Hill to VT 9.

It goes without saying that the fractured clavicle of Tony Romo is horrible news for all those owners counting on him as their starting quarterback. But what about everyone with Cowboys pass catchers on their roster? Are their hopes shattered as well?
If last Sunday is any indication, the answer is "no." While Jon Kitna is no Romo, he is one of the better backups around, and he showed that against the Jaguars. Don't pay much attention to his four interceptions — two of them weren't his fault. Look instead at his number of attempts (49), completion percentage (69.4) and yards (379). Looks awfully similar to Romo, right?
True, Kitna's performance came against one of the worst pass defenses in the league, but he also showed well in Week Seven vs. a top-notch Giants "D." He's unlikely to be a fantasy stud, but the 38-year-old gets the chance to make a fantasy impact for at least the next month, and possibly the rest of the season if Romo doesn't return.
While the starting QB's absence would seem to be a bad thing for all the Dallas receivers, that's not necessarily the case. Dez Bryant actually has seen his fantasy value rise with Kitna at the helm. The rookie had two TD grabs against the Giants, then followed it up with 7-84-0 last week. Now a bigger part of the offense, he quickly is becoming a weekly start with huge upside.
TE Jason Witten's role also has increased since the QB change. With one TD catch through the first five contests, Witten has scored in each of the last two games and has 19 grabs for 192 yards in that span. He's a trusted safety valve for Kitna, meaning his targets should be substantial in weeks to come.
Then there's Miles Austin, who has disappointed in 2010 with a boatload of drops. But his seven catches for 117 yards Sunday is a good sign that he'll continue to produce. You have to stick with him and just hope that he remembers how to hold on to the ball.
Really, only the Dallas running game could take a significant hit without Romo. Defenses won't respect the pass as much, so Felix Jones and Marion Barber could find running room hard to find. Owners won't be able to have much faith in them.
The Cowboys' schedule gets tougher, but they have shown that they'll at least move the ball, even if scoring points proves difficult. An eventual Romo return would be nice, but they can hold their own while he's gone.

I for one do not agree that Floyd defines all black men (especially Your's Truly), it is inflammatory articles like these especially by Uncle Tom Negroes who help to continue to perpetuate not only the racial hate black men receive but also the hate towards a man in a sport where persona is perception and perception a reality (for some).
How can this Uncle Ben (Terry Foster) say that Floyd defines us: I've never been to prison, I don't hit women (if that's what he really did) and I haven't fathered children out of wedlock.
Sure Floyd is a great boxer and whatever he was doing to Mrs. Bundrage at that moment doesn't spell out that all of us (black men) would do the same thing. Let's not forget that Mrs. Bundrage did some trash talking to Floyd prior to the fight between K9 and Ishe and in her role as Manager for her husband is why Mayweather retorted in the first place irregardless of his antics; she got back the negative energy she put out.
Now, am I saying that everything was in good taste that Floyd did? No, but given the gravity of the moment and the fight taking place in the ring it applied.
Your thoughts?

The senior duo will open their two-game road trip in Alabama against Samford on Wednesday at 8 p.m. (EST), followed by a matchup against Auburn on Saturday at 8 p.m. (EST).
Hardy, a native of Birmingham, is off to the best start of his career. He's scored in double figures in all three games, putting up a complete stat line the last two games – including six assists and six steals his last time out against Florida Tech.
Cohn, a native of Decatur, is returning to form after being hampered by an injury early in the season. He scored 12 points off the bench in 17 minutes against Florida Tech.
The seniors look to keep the Dolphins on their winning ways as JU has is off to its best start since the 2008-09 season.
"We're continuing to get better each day," said JU head coach Cliff Warren. "We need to be ready to face a Samford team that is well coached and playing with a lot of confidence after winning the Auburn tournament last week."
Jacksonville's two straight wins has the Dolphins above .500 this early for the first time in three seasons. JU had started its last two seasons 0-5 before rebounding to win the Atlantic Sun Conference title each year.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – A new Internet video shows ESPN commentator Craig James break down as he talks about fired Coach Mike Leach. James spoke April 20th at a Baptist church event in Plano, Texas.
James and Leach have been at odds since last football season amid allegations the former coach mistreated his son wide receiver Adam James while he had a concussion."When we hit the wall, we can look around and our character, our honesty, and integrity are in place. We've done nothing wrong," said Craig James Tuesday to a group at Prestonwood Baptist Church.
James says he and his son are in a spiritual battle with Leach and a 'journey' with Texas Tech University. He says his family has been the target of lies and death threats. "My son was being treated in an unfair, unimaginable, and unthinkable manner. We filed a complaint with the university; private, hoping to quietly protect Adam to stop the insanity that was being done to him. Not once, but twice," said James to the group.
The lawsuit makes it sound far less private and quiet with James trying to lobby several Texas Tech officials to fire Leach. "On December 23, 2009, Craig James wrote to Texas Tech Chancellor Kent Hance demanding that Mike Leach be terminated," according to official documents.
It was not James' first quarrel with coaches. Earlier in the season, James admits he left an angry phone message for Coach Lincoln Riley about his son's playing time. James, later in his sworn deposition, defends the phone message as appropriate.
Before his first on-air interview with ESPN after Leach was terminated, James received a surprise call of encouragement from Prestonwood Baptist Pastor Jack Graham. "Jack said 'right is always right. Wrong is never right.' It's never right to do wrong. You be strong and you be courageous and you stand up.' You tell me God wasn't talking to me," said James as the crowd clapped for him.
The civil suit is still ongoing. Mike Leach is now suing Craig James and five others as individuals in addition to Texas Tech University.

Saw a few pictures on twitter and I was one of the lucky ones that received this box. It's 1 of 5.
Looks like FJ is taking it to the next level! The foam collar looks legit. The comfort feature already has me hooked. Can't wait to see more!
Awesome! Bummed I didn't make the cut, but excited to see what you guys get next.
"Five easy pieces".......do you eventually get the whole shoe......some new for the spring, I suppose........please keep us informed.....luck guy.....
Cool to get to see the components of the shoe "hands on". Great way to introduce a new product FJ!
I tested the shoe at The FJ shoe box. All I can say is AWESOME.
I think the Synrgy a few years back had a foam collar. I think it is a great idea. Did the box include a new pair of shoes as well, lucky ones.
I wear 10.5's for next time. shoes look awesome. these are what Adam Scott has been wearing correct ?
Is that the new DNA series coming out? I have seen them in the new catalog, but I want to see them first hand before I get several pairs. And the whole wrong size thing is very true. I have been wearing the wrong size for a year now, and the correct size fits that much better. Hope you enjoy those boxes, and post up pics when you can. We all want to live vicariously through you.
Definitely a cool way to introduce a new shoe. Sounds like a real gamechanger and a shoe that has alot of style and innovation baked into one!
I look forward to finding out more about this.
Wow - that is awesome! I also look forward to finding out more!
Awesome. Footjoy is always a step a head in innovation. Just watched the video. Looks like the cushion conforms and holds the heel from slipping as well as molding to the ankle. Can't wait to try a pair on. Hopefully, justinu3 gets the shoes to go with.
Great buildup/promotional activity for this mystery shoe!
I am looking forward to the new foam collar. I think it will make the shoe more comfortable.

Hello, cubby here!!!!
Post your introduction and "get to know me" information in this forum.

Hello, cubby here!!!!
I thought i should introduce myself,after sittin and reading for a couple of months. I live on the family farm in southwest ohio. I like anything thats old,with an engine, no matter the color. I have grampa's farmall regular, dad's WD allis chalmers, jd A, and his cub in the barn. I cant say i would take one over the other, but the wife likes the cub. "It's cute" she says. I don't have any attachments for it yet. I would like to find a belly mower. I have farmed and been a self taught mechanic for most of my life. I could take anything apart by the age of 10. Later, dad said i needed to learn how they went back together. My current project is the 1931 AA truck in the garage. I would like to start on the cub in september when i retire. The tractor will run and is in real god shape. The front needs wheel bearings and i need to rebuild the carb and fix the brakes. Im looking forward to asking lots of questions and learning a lot. It seems this is a great place to hang out. I would like to learn how to post pics and then in warmer weather i will take some pics. My son named the tractor "BooBoo". He likes yogie bear. Till my next, i'll keep readin, Rick
Welcome Cubby! (Rick)
Just let us know when you're ready to start on the cub. Watch out though! If you're in SW Ohio you're dangeriously close to Ralph the cub killer!
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Welcome, Rick: You will find a lot of good folks who are very willing to share information on Cubs and Cub related equipment. And other IH and Farmall units as well. We are glad to have you on board. Dan

Re: Hello, cubby here!!!!
First, to the greatest forum on the internet, and to the Cub Family. You will find that all the folks on this forum are kind, helpful and just full of Cub info and knowledge. They also happen to be the finest folks I have ever met
Rick, just about all the answers you will need are to be found in the links below. Posting pics and all, well, that is covered in the topics:
[url=http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/faq.php?mode=bbcode[/url]How To More With The Forum Software - FAQ's[/url]
How To Manipulate Pictures - A Tutorial by Yo's Dad
Your questions on rebuilding the carb can be answered primarily in Carl Kurnas's excellent presentation on Lurker Carl's Cub Carb Fixes. Following this presentation should provide you with all the little tricks and stuff to get your carb back to factory. Remember the best kit for your Carb is an IH Carb Kit... all others are well "Not Exactly !"
Ok, so here is the spiel :
I would suggest that you read this thread: New Members and Visitors, Please READ Prior to Posting. There are many great links to informative pages such as the ATIS FAQ's 1 and ATIS FAQ's 2, The Best of H.L. Chauvin who has written very interesting articles on troubleshooting common problems with your Cub. One of the other projects we have been working on and it will be a continuing effort is the How To Article Archive. This the the place to go to get all the quick links to some very good articles written by many members of the forum on solving some of the problems we encounter as we repair, maintain and up-grade our Cubs. Keep looking for this to grow.
Also, you might want to visit the Cub Manual Server as there is tons of info on servicing, maintaining and re-building your Cub. In addition to this basic information, there are also a number of other useful tools available on the server. There is the Specialty Services page which has contact info for neat stuff like getting your seats recovered, buying quality Decals, Serial Number tags and a host of other neat items. Also there are the Parts Pages - both Used Parts Suppliers and New Parts Suppliers pages with links to quality dealers. I am always looking for YOUR favourite dealers for New and Used Parts to include here. These pages are intended to complement our Official FarmallCub.com Website Sponsors:
I would also recommend that you visit Binder Books and purchase the three most important manuals you can own for Maintenance, Repair and Rebuilding your Cub. These are the Owner's Manual, the GSS-1411 Service Manual and the TC-37F Parts Manual. Although they are available on the Cub Manual Server, it is better is you also have your own paper copy. Binder Books is the only Authorized IH Publication Reprint House and they have the best quality manuals available. Most other's are not of the same quality. Just a personal thought here, the I&T Shop Manuals, although helpful in some areas, really are not sufficient for the job. If you wish though, they are good additional reference works.
IF you really want to get the skinny on all things Cub, might I suggest you get a copy of Ken Updike's Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet's . While you are at it Original Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet is Ken's latest addition to the series. Along with Guy Fay's Letter Series Originality Guide, these are three must have's in anyone's collection.
In addition to the above information, don't forget to check out the various articles that are available to help with your Repair, Restore, Rebuild or just your Maintenance Projects. There are a number of sub pages such as Electrolysis or Rust Zapper's, Maintenance Tips, Jigs and Techniques, Implement and Part Sketches and of course the Paint, Decals & Other Finish Questions which has the Paint Chart and the Paint Committee Decisions links.
Oh, and while the program still lasts.. you might want to check the Announcement: Navistar Free Gas Cap Offer - On-Line Form thread at the top of the Cub Forum and send away for the new style safety cap before that program runs out as well.
I truly hope that you enjoy your Cub and that you will be a frequent contributor to the forum. Again, to the Cub Family

The Eagles and the Jets have been two of the NFL's most followed stories throughout the offseason. Rex Ryan is on his last legs as coach of the Jets, while Chip Kelly gets his first crack at the NFL in 2013.
Philadelphia has been productive during the preseason, particularly the starters led by Michael Vick. It's tough to say what Kelly's offense will look like in 2013, but the Eagles are likely to run the ball early and often.
Meanwhile, the Jets have been a bit of a disaster during exhibition play. Geno Smith has struggled to adjust to the speed of the NFL, while Mark Sanchez has been banged up while struggling in his time under center, and won't be available to play on Thursday.
The final preseason game will be an exercise in staying healthy for both of these teams.

Despite warnings from security software maker Symantec not to connect its pcAnywhere remote-access software to the Internet, more than 140,000 computers appear to remain configured to allow direct connections from the Internet, thereby putting them at risk.
Over the weekend, vulnerability management firm Rapid7 scanned for exposed systems running pcAnywhere and found that tens of thousands of installations could likely be attacked through unpatched vulnerabilities in the software because they directly communicate with the Internet. Perhaps of greatest worry is that a small but significant fraction of the systems appear to be dedicated, point-of-sale computers, where pcAnywhere is used for remote management of the device, says HD Moore, Rapid7's chief security officer.
"It is clear that pcAnywhere is still widely used in specific niches, especially point-of-sale," Moore says, adding that by connecting the software directly to the Internet, "organizations are placing themselves at risk of remote compromise or remote password theft."
Lines of attack
The ability to directly access a computer running pcAnywhere from the Internet, paired with a vulnerability of sufficient severity, could allow anyone to compromise a system running the remote-access software. A user can directly connect to a computer from the Internet if there is not a firewall protecting the system, or if the firewall lets traffic destined for certain ports pass through unhindered. The systems found by Rapid7 allowed requests directed to the default pcAnywhere ports -- 5631 and 5632 -- to connect to the host computer.
"Most people worry about whether someone can get into their system directly, and based on [recent vulnerabilities] you don't have to be the most hardcore researcher to ... exploit these systems," Moore says.
Last week, HP TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative reported one such vulnerability that could be used to take control of any at-risk pcAnywhere installation connected to the Internet.
pcAnywhere's security came under scrutiny this month after Symantec acknowledged that the source code for the product had been stolen in 2006. While the theft of the source code itself did not endanger users, would-be attackers who analyze the code will likely find vulnerabilities. When Symantec took another look at the source code following the theft, for example, the company found vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to eavesdrop on communications, grab the secure keys, and then remotely control the computer -- if the attackers could find a way to intercept communications.
Symantec published patches last week for the issues the company found during its source code analysis as well as the more serious vulnerability reported by the Zero Day Initiative. On Monday, the company also offered a free upgrade to all pcAnywhere customers, stressing that users who update their software and follow its security advice were safe.
Open to mischief
Yet Moore and other security researchers argue that it's unlikely that the most vulnerable users will quickly patch their systems. Allowing direct access from the Internet to pcAnywhere suggests that the owner of the computer may not have the technical experience to know to patch regularly.

10. Orange Sunshine Wall (last climb on the wall)
Orange Sunshine Wall
Great beginner lead. It's a stair case. But, beware of loose, chossy junk near the top of the climb. Also, be careful when you lower your climber, you have a tendency to swing out around the corner, this could really scare a newb.
this is an ok starter route. its probably the tallest starter route there. be careful though, there is choss and the route is very dirty (like layers of dirt). Also as gblauer said be careful lowering or rapping, if youre not paying attention youll go over the left side and it becomes a pain to get down

CHRC Responds to Humanitarian Crisis at the Border
The US is currently experiencing a humanitarian crisis at the border, with over 50,000 children currently apprehended, and more coming. Families, mostly unaccompanied children, are migrating from Central American and Mexico to the Mexican/US border due to extreme violence, gang related activity, and deprivation. The White House and Congress are currently reviewing options for responding to the crisis. Unfortunately, many of the "solutions" being proposed seek to undermine legislation set forth in 2000 and 2008 to protect vulnerable children, expedite deportation of children and families, and severely impact the rights of children. Due to the looming Congressional recess and speed of proposals issued, a response required a quick turnaround. Read more to learn about the CHRC's response to this issue.
