I haven't seen this discussed yet and it came up in a conversation today. I was shocked to read it. From the Champions League rulebook:
2.03 The UEFA Champions League titleholder is guaranteed a place in the group stage even if it does not qualify for the competition through its domestic championship.
If the titleholder comes from an association entitled to four places in the UEFA Champions League and qualifies for the UEFA Europa League through its domestic competitions, the lowest-ranked club of the association's UEFA Champions League representatives is automatically transferred to the UEFA Europa League (into the latest possible round where there is a vacancy). In this case, the number of places to which the titleholder's association is entitled in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League does not change.
So... all Spurs fans out there, I realize you may feel a bit dirty rooting for the Germans to beat the English, but start holding your breath now that Bayern puts up eight for the final.
Or we could just win 3rd. That would work too.

An FFC Review of Kim Beyong-seo and Jo Eui-Seok's South Korean thriller "Cold Eyes."
An FFC looks at the horrible situation in Ferguson, MO and what it says about where we are and where we're going.
"BET News Special: Justice For Ferguson: The Shooting of Michael Brown" airs at 7pm EST on Friday, August 22nd.
A recap of the 2014 Melbourne International Film Festival with a focus on what it says about the state of Australian film.
A documentary featuring Ed Koch, David Dinkins, Craig Steven Wilder, Calvin O. Butts III, Jim Dwyer, Natalie Byfield, Michael Warren, Lynnell Hancock, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, Yusef Salaam and Korey Wise.
The term "wilding" has become entrenched in the language. In general terms, it refers to groups of violent, young marauders, non-white by implication, who range through cities at night attacking random citizens. The word reminds many of a notorious incident in 1989 when five black and Latino teenagers were arrested and convicted for the brutal assault and rape of a 28-year-old white woman while she was jogging in Central Park. She lingered near death in a coma for days before finally beginning to recover.
The case transfixed a racially polarized New York City. The teens were labeled as a "wolf pack" by the news media, led by the New York tabloids. Op-ed pieces generalized on the alleged spread of wilding among powerless young men around the country. In the documentary "Central Park Five," it's not clear precisely when the word first appeared, but it lingers as a durable meme. And that's what we remember.
What we may have forgotten, or never have known, is that the convictions of the five defendants were overturned by an appeals court after they had served 10 years behind bars. A man named Matias Reyes, already jailed as the East Side Rapist, confessed to a cellmate and was linked to the case by DNA evidence. A carefully constructed chronology established that the "wolf pack" was elsewhere in Central Park at the time — but too far away to have possibly been involved.
Yet all of the Central Park Five were recorded on tape making full and detailed confessions to the crime. How could this be? This documentary by the respected Ken Burns, his daughter Sarah and her husband David McMahon suggests the confessions were browbeaten out of them after hours of nonstop questioning. Although they mentioned specific details of the assault, they seem to have been suggested to them by the police.
In outline, this story is uncannily similar to another wrongful conviction involving the "West Memphis Three." As it happens, I viewed the new doc "West of Memphis" not long ago. In this case, the Three were convicted and one was sentenced to death on charges of sexually assaulting and murdering three little boys. In both cases the police/media narratives about the defendants inflamed public sentiment.
In New York, the image of violent young blacks was frightening, and in West Memphis, Ark., there was the scarcely less terrifying allegation that the defendants were members of a "satanic cult." Both prosecutions were based on confessions. Both convictions were overturned after others confessed and matched DNA evidence. Race was not the only factor; non-whites in New York were as horrified as whites at the violent and lawless behavior of the assailants.
Our justice system presumes defendants are innocent until proven guilty. It also places extreme pressure on the police to make arrests leading to convictions — to "solve" the crimes. The police officers knew, or should have known, that the confessions involved were extracted by psychological force (the Arkansas case was obtained from a young boy who was mentally retarded). If a heinous crime ends with a popular conviction, the system is satisfied. Nobody wants to hear contradictory evidence.
"Central Park Five" unfortunately sidesteps part of its story. The five young men (Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, Kharey Wise and Yusef Salaam) were indeed in Central Park that night, part of a larger group of perhaps 30. Members of that group, some as young as 15, may have been responsible for other attacks. Were they caught up in a mob mentality?
The film shows four of the five on camera (one is only heard). It also involves a detailed reconstruction of how the story broke, was developed and was dramatized by lurid tabloid headlines. Although the Central Park Five are suing the city for wrongful arrest and conviction, the city hasn't settled. Meanwhile, the word "wilding" remains in our memories. When I began this review with it, did you remember the case? Did you remember the "wolf pack" was wrongfully accused?

Twenty-eight schools in Rhode Island – about 10 percent – have received the state's lowest ratings in an evaluation of their performance.
The Rhode Island Department of Education released its classifications for 279 schools on Tuesday. Twenty-one schools were designated as "Priority" and six as "Focus." All of those are designated for state intervention and must come up with improvement plans.
Twenty-four schools were given the top ranking, including 12 for the first time.
The department classifications are based on several factors, including academic proficiency, progress meeting targets, graduation rates and closing the achievement gap.
Commissioner Deborah Gist says the state is working hard to help low-achieving schools. She says some progress is being made and that the pace of improvement is expected to pick up.

CINCINNATI -- Aaron Boone's first National League Pepsi Player of the Week award this year, during the May 5-11 period, was predictable. His efforts that week included a game-winning home run and a three-homer game.
When he won the award again for the period ending Sunday, the most common reaction was, "Huh?"
Boone certainly had a solid week. He hit .556 (10-for-18), best in the Major Leagues, with a home run, two doubles, seven RBIs and three runs scored. His .833 slugging percentage and .600 on-base percentage led all NL players.
But with the possible exception of last Friday's 15-1 victory over Philadelphia, when he went 3-for-3 with four RBIs, Boone did nothing truly remarkable, as even he admitted.
"I was just getting a couple of hits a day," Boone said. "The most important thing is, we had a good week as a team (4-1)."
Boone won the May award while he was using Adam Dunn's bats, but he has switched to his own model more recently. "Dunn needs all the hits he can get right now. I don't want to take them from his bat," Boone jokingly said.
It was Boone's third career NL Player of the Week award. He also captured the honor for the period of Sept. 6-12, 1999.

Family appeal for return of necklace stolen from Stanmore home
Updated 3:48pm Monday 10th February 2014 in News By Bruce Thain
Family members have appealed for the return of a necklace stolen in the robbery of a grandmother's house.
Police were called to reports of a burglary in Morley Crescent East, Stanmore on Monday, February 3.
Officers believe somebody smashed the house's patio window between 6pm on Wednesday January 29 and 4pm on Monday February 3.
According to relatives of the elderly victim, who was away at the time the incident, the thieves ransacked the house and stole the necklace, which is of great sentimental value.
Family member Liz Robinson, who found the house after it was burgled, said: "When I walked in and saw the mess I just couldn't believe it, I was just in shock.
"I think the whole family are devastated and it's just horrible. If anyone knows anything about the necklace please get in contact with police and return it. That's all we care about.
"What makes me angry is that they have violated her personal space and taking something so precious to her."
Officers say no arrests have been made and enquiries continue.
Anyone with any information about the burglary should contact with police.

So we've decided to kick off our On The Rise selection for 2012 by looking at some of the actors who we're tipping for big things in the next few years. Last time we made these kinds of picks and predictions we did pretty well, listing the likes of Joel Edgerton, Edgar Ramirez, Jason Sudeikis, Adam Scott, Jake Johnson and David Oyelowo who have all gone on to become much-sought-after names, and we're feeling just as confident about the folks we've gone with this time around.
It's hard to know who qualifies for a list like this, but we wanted to lean towards new faces, rather than picking out names you've likely been hearing a lot about recently. Guys like Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling, Tom Hardy, Benjamin Walker (the star of this year's "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter") and Joel Kinnaman (who will be the new "RoboCop") all have parts in big movies on the way, and will form the next wave of stars for sure, but these actors are right behind them. Have a look below, let us know who you think you could break out soon, and stay tuned for our look at the actresses tomorrow. So, in alphabetical order...
Adam Shankman's jukebox musical "Rock of Ages" has one of the oddest, most intriguing casts of the summer, with Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Paul Giamatti and Bryan Cranston all donning leather and mullet wigs in what's increasingly looking like a guilty pleasure. But none of them are actually the film's lead, as the central couple is played by Julianne Hough ("Footloose") and Latin music star Diego Boneta. And it's the latter who looks like he could break out in a big way if the film's a hit. The 23-year-old Mexican actor started out in telenovelas and as a teen singing sensation, with two hit records to date, before crossing the border to take recurring roles in teen shows "Pretty Little Liars" and "90210." Last year, he got some attention for playing the male lead in the direct-to-video sequel "Mean Girls 2." Shankman says that when Boneta auditioned to play busboy and aspiring rock star Drew Boley in his film, he had "that feeling you get when you realized you've discovered lightning in a bottle." And while Boneta's skills haven't yet been glimpsed in trailers, it's clear others have been impressed -- he was going to play Adam in Alex Proyas' "Paradise Lost" before the film was cancelled. Breaking out from a musical isn't the easiest thing, but there's a distinct lack of young Hispanic leading men, and Boneta could well be the person to fill that gap.
One of the more startling images in the movies so far this year was of Andrew, the bullied, troubled teen in "Chronicle," sitting in a junkyard crushing a car with his newfound telekenetic powers, eyes as dark as night. The clip was front and center in the marketing, and it's undoubtedly seared Dane DeHaan, who played the character, onto the eyes of many. The 25-year-old got his big break with a stunning performance as gay adopted teen Jesse in the final season of HBO's "In Treatment," and followed it up swiftly with a recurring role in "True Blood." The movies were always going to come calling after that, and "Chronicle," in which he gave a performance simultaneously sympathetic and terrifying, the true heart of the film, is the first of four movies that'll hit before the end of 2012. Next up is the male lead in lesbian werewolf indie "Jack and Diane" alongside Juno Temple and Riley Keough, but the latter part of the year will see him with key roles in two of our most anticipated films of the year. He's playing Shia LaBoeuf's rickets-stricken best friend in John Hillcoat's Prohibition-era gangster tale "Lawless," and will follow that up swiftly with Derek Cianfrance's crime tale "The Place Beyond the Pines," in which he'll star in the film's final segment as the son of Ryan Gosling's motorcycle stunt rider, continuing the generational feud with the son of the cop-turned politician (Bradley Cooper) who tormented his father. And at present, he's joined fellow bright young things Daniel Radcliffe, Jack Huston and Elizabeth Olsen as troubled poet Lucien Carr in beat-era murder mystery "Kill Your Darlings." Rest assured, it's not just his resemblance to the actor that's put him on the path to becoming the next Leonardo DiCaprio.

Benedict Cumberbatch. Between what he's done with Sherlock on the BBC and the new Star Trek movie, I hope he'll get more roles.
Gweninterrupted | April 3, 2012 1:17 AM
Dane DeHaan is an amazing actor and I can't wait to see what kinds of roles he chooses to play in the future. A few of my other favorite actors on the rise over the last few years are Anton Yelchin, Kyle Gallner, and especially Ezra Miller. I've seen every movie that Ezra has been in starting with Afterschool when he was only 14, and I think he's one of the most interesting and intriguing actors to grace a screen in recent times.

No females? Well, at least you got the token black guy in there...
Michael | April 2, 2012 9:05 PM
Seriously who gives a shit!Its far to much damn effort to remember all these actors names a majority of them aren't even worth mentioning and the causal movie watcher won't care who they are either even if some of them hit it big they won't go on to gain causal movie fan's heart.Its only obsessed online move buffs like ourselves that make a point to remember these type of people the causal movie watchers will just look at you funny if you tried mentioning all these actors to them in one conversion.Logan Marshall-Green and Dane DeHaan are two actors that I've seen in one movie or another that I liked the other ones on the list I could care a less about.
Bruce | April 2, 2012 8:34 PM
ever hear of Jim Parrack? You will.
Bobsnore | April 2, 2012 1:24 PM
This is going to be the breakout year for JASON CLARKE. He has 3 major roles coming up this year that I think could lead to heaps of critical acclaim- he is the lead in Kathryn Bigelow's Osama Bin Laden movie; he plays THE pivotal role of 'George Wilson' in Baz Luhrman's "The Great Gatsby"; and he gives an incredibly powerful performance in the indie "Yelling to the Sky" opposite Zoe Kravitz.
Lee | April 2, 2012 9:49 AM
I almost thought I missed something about Tom Hardy joining Prometheus. woah.
I wish Kieran Culkin could be in this list. That guy is awesome.

Mimi | March 30, 2012 5:46 PM
After seeing Nowhere Boy with Aaron Johnson as John Lennon, I immediately knew he was headed places and sure enough he is picking up starring roles right and left. He is doing Savages and the next adaption of Anna Karenina as Count Vronsky and he is only 21. He played Lennon when he was 19 and his performance was magnetic; I couldn't take my eyes of of him as he showed the emotional roller coaster Lennon was on in his teens. I am looking forward to seeing much more of him in the future and think he may do well. Glad he is choosing his projects wisely now, though the lure of LA LA Land may be too great and he may end up in the next super hero movie. Hope not, he is great doing what he is right now, just not as much money in it.

"He's got all the talent (if not more so) than his brother"
Since 21 Jump Street, the media and blogsphere seem to take glee in bashing the older Franco by setting up a comparison between the two.
But I can't help but take issue on the statement. Except for 21 Jump street, all of Dave's parts were basically a cameo(His screen time in them were less than 5 mins each. His part in Scrubs was just a sketch comedy). He simply has not shown enough to prove anything, much less to prove whether he is as talented as his brother. Are you saying that whatever talent Dave has shown in one movie is equivalent or better than what James has shown in all of Jamesâ work? James, whose work spans more than a decade ranging from James Dean, Milk, 127 hours, Howl to Pineapple Express?
I am sure Dave has the potential to be a leading man. James may never become a leading man/movie star in the traditional Hollywood mold by his own choice. But do not subtly suggest James is not talented (or overrated) actor by matching his bro who has given exactly one good performance.
maja | March 30, 2012 4:21 AM
I think I'll stick with Will Smith and Tom Cruise.
jingmei | March 30, 2012 2:59 AM
Kind of a fresh list, except people who are like Dave Franco. Scoot McNairy is awesome, this dude already appeared in something like Art School Confidential. Meanwhile this list gave names supposed to appear in current blockbusters, and they usually played sidekick roles, now time is for becoming big stars. But how about those always pretty low profile real stars, such as one of my favorite Sam Riley.
Juliana25 | March 30, 2012 1:12 AM
I agree that Dave Franco has a promising future but I certainly wouldn't write off bro James. He is already a movie star who isn't afraid to try other things and be in movies that wouldn't be considered "mainstream". He can do both comedy (Pineapple Express) and drama (127 Hours, James Dean) equally well. The "weirdness" factor is perpetuated by the gossip mags. Hes just a smart guy doing what he wants and loves. If only we all were so lucky.
Also, the press seems bent on Trying to set up a competition between these brothers as evidenced by several articles since 21 Jump Street came out. Luckily there's room enough for them both.
NHK | March 29, 2012 11:21 PM
Come on. There is never a lack of leading men, at least not white leading men. Maybe more accurate...there is never a lack of effort on Hollywood's part to create an endless selection of leading white men. Given those numerous opportunities it should not be any surprise that there are plentiful of talented leading white men getting loads of filmwork. What the writer should have probably stated instead was that there is a dearth of true male movie stars. That may be true. Interesting enough using Tom Cruise and Will Smith as examples simply points out that one doesn't necessarily have to be great actors to achieve great box office success.

Logan Marshall- Green is Tom Hardy and Tom Hardy is Logan Marshall-Green. lol Woah twins indeed. I hope he gets more roles. I saw him on stage and he really pulls you in. I like this list!
Chase L. | March 29, 2012 5:26 PM
How about Josh Hutcherson? He's a great actor, and he's very charismatic.

James Franco is one of the best versatile actors working today and I would but him ahead of guys like Michael Fassbender, Ryan Gosling, Tom Hardy, Benjamin Walker, Joel Kinnaman and any other younger actors from his age group. Infact, I find it insulting that he keeps being left out his No. 1 in my humble opinion.
I know there was a hate campaign against him last year, but however weird he might be or not at times, again he's the best of the best and the one to follow.
You have got to be kidding me re but the jury is still out on whether it'll work out? WTH, you mean the guy who nailed following performances James Dean (I repeat James Dean), 127 Hours, Milk, Howl, Pineapple Express and yes HELPED ensure Rise of the Planet of the Apes WAS (but just gave enough emotional edge to his peformance that didn't take anything away from Andy Serkis brilliant performance) a hit too, plus the best thing about Date Night and The Green Hornet (seriously, check out that performance) still has the jury out on him? Don't know how to explain this again he played James Dean, he wins period.
Oh, by the way, if you can also find me an actor that looks like the following people James Dean, Adam Ant, Paul Newman, Jeff Buckley, Tim Buckley, Robert Mapplethorne, Che and at this very moment K-Fed/Riff Raff (don't ask), then I would say you are correct in your assessment.
James Franco is the No. 1 person to go to for bio movies for his age group and I see him developing into Johnny Depp/Daniel Day Lewis/Robert De Niro kind of actor as he grows.
Anyway, Dave Franco is a Franco so obviously going to succeed as an leading actor (his brother is not his competition also but other actors) as well as Dane DeHann just again my opinion.

Mark my words, Sullivan Stapleton is another Aussie that will take over Hollyweird. He has the X-factor, has loads of charm, very masculine , he is very watchable, and he can believably portray a bad guy.
Oogle monster | March 29, 2012 4:34 PM
As much as I like (looking) at Dave Franco, I think you guys are being a little tough on his bro. James can dink around with side projects because he IS a movie star. He's an Oscar nominated actor who has done work in big blockbusters (Spiderman, Apes), comedy (Date Night, Pineapple Express, Knocked Up) and has shown his range in smaller fare (Milk, the James Dean biopic, and arguably his best performance to date 127 Hours). If that doesn't make him a movie star.... well, I give up then.
L. | March 29, 2012 4:27 PM
Are you going to do a follow-up with up-and-coming actresses? Would be much appreciated!
R | March 29, 2012 4:11 PM
Joel Kinnaman!
Zack | March 29, 2012 4:03 PM
Dear God, please don't ever say "noughties" as though it's a thing again.
sasha | March 29, 2012 3:57 PM
lol Dave Franco
KT | March 29, 2012 3:45 PM
Logan Marshall-Green =/= Tom Hardy
Therefore he's probably fucked.
M | March 29, 2012 3:36 PM
Hopefully a couple of these men do turn out good, because there has been a lack of male stars. The younger male generation is lacking in the acting ability.
Damn Logan looks so much like Tom Hardy, my word. They could be twins. Although Logan already has a twin

William Conor (1881-1968)
Girl with Buckets, 1950s
Wax crayon on paper, 35 x 26cm Signed, centre left: ConorPresented, in memory of Marie McGuone, 2012NGI.2012.5
William Conor was born in Belfast and studied at the Belfast School of Art and Design in the late 1890s. He initially worked as a commercial artist, before devoting his life to painting and drawing. He was an official war artist during both world wars and recorded the damage caused by the bombings in Belfast in 1942. He exhibited at the RHA from 1918 to 1967 and was elected a member in 1946. One-man exhibitions were held at the Victor Waddington Galleries, Dublin in 1944 and 1948. In 1952 he was awarded an OBE and in 1957 elected President of the RUA. His work is well represented in public collections in Northern Ireland including the Linen Hall Library and the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, Cultra. More than 50 of his crayon and watercolour drawings are held by the Ulster Museum. Conor was a prolific artist. His life's work represents a remarkable social and economic history of the ordinary people of his native city.
This is a typical example of Conor's images of the people of Northern Ireland. It is drawn using wax crayon, a difficult medium he made his own. Although his working technique is not documented, it is likely that he used photography. The faces of his figures, created using contrasting light and dark areas, remind one of old newspaper photographs. Here, a woman squints into the sun, which bleaches out detail, leaving just a faint impression of the farm buildings in the background. Conor may have created this drawing using an offset image as it is very similar (and in reverse) to a drawing entitled 'The Water Carrier' exhibited at the Oriel Gallery, Dublin in 1981.
The artist's drawings of anonymous men, women and children at work and at play display a deep sympathy and understanding for the human condition. Like Harry Kernoff, the Dublin artist, Conor was deeply interested in recording his fellow citizens, as a result of which he is a 'popular' artist of merit, who drew and painted the people of his native city without a social or political agenda.

Persol is a venerable and well respected brand that was established in 1917 by Giuseppe Ratti. Persol derives its name from the Italian phrase "Per il sole," which means "for the sun." The Italian eyewear maker would eventually become a global sunglass sensation.
One feature that sets Persol sunglasses apart from other brands is the Meflecto system. The Meflecto system, which is incorporated into all Persol sunglass frames, is a patented "flexible stem" that provides the flexibility and sound craftsmanship to ensure that your Persol sunglasses will maintain durability and style.
Another distinctive design detail on Persol sunglasses is the Silver Arrow, which is definitely the most recognizable feature on Persol frames. The arrow logo is meant to honor the swords of ancient warriors. This is a metaphor for the strong leadership role Persol has always taken in the sunwear industry, as well as evoking the strength of Persol sunglass wearers.
With precision-crafted lenses and a variety of frames to suit anyone's individual style, high-quality Persol sunglasses have always been a staple accessory for fashion-conscious buyers. Celebrities are also among the many devoted fans of Persol sunglasses, helping to boost the continuing popularity of the brand.
Many Persol sunglass frames are retro-inspired, with classic shapes such as aviators, rounds, squares, and a modernized wayfarer. They are perfect for those looking for shades with a retro-glamorous vibe in contemporary colors and materials.
Sunglasses by Persol are designed with the brand's unique style and exceptional quality construction. Sunglasses for men range from metal-rimmed aviators to edgy contemporary hybrid wayfarer/wraparound frames that stand out in a crowd. Both traditional lens tints and colored lenses are available, depending on the style. Some even come with pink or blue lenses for the self-confident man who wants to be noticed.
Persol's line of sunglasses for women offers a selection of the best and most popular shapes for women, including cat-eyes, rounded edges, and ovals. Colors range from bold black to eye-catching dual-colored patterns in yellows, greens, and reds. You can choose a lens color that complements your frames and suits your vision needs.
Many styles are available with polarized lenses or gradient tints.

Former women's soccer standout, Kate Orr, announced as team's graduate assistant
After four years of anchoring the JU back line, former defender Kate Orr will be looking to bring a new perspective to the women's soccer program this year as head coach Brian Copham announced her as the team's graduate assistant today.
During her collegiate career, Orr played in every match and didn't miss a start after her freshman year. She received second team all-A-Sun honors as a sophomore and all-academic accolades for all four years at JU.
"We are very excited to have Kate join our staff," said Copham. "She was a phenomenal player while here at JU and will bring an invaluable element of experience and knowledge to the program. I know she has a passion for the game and is a great competitor which she will pass on to the girls on a daily basis. I am looking forward to having Kate work with us."
Prior to her new position at JU, Orr was an assistant coach for the U-14 Girls Kyx, a part of the First Coast Soccer Association and a personal trainer and wellness associate at the South Metro YMCA.
"I am really excited about coming back to JU and contributing to the women's soccer program," said Orr. "I had a great time here as a student-athlete and am looking forward to being a part of this team as a student-coach. I feel that with my experience of being a former player, I can bring a lot to the team."
In her sophomore campaign, Orr helped JU record eight shutouts during the regular season and was named the A-Sun's "Defensive Player of the Week."
Orr graduated from JU in 2009 as an exercise science major. She graduated Magna Cum Laude, Phi Kappa Phi, while being named to both the Honors List and Deans List.
The Dolphins will kick off the 2010 season against Furman before taking on ACC power Clemson less than a day later in Clemson, S.C. on Aug. 22.

Predoctoral Research Training Program
The MPSI graduate training program develops researchers from multiple disciplines with expertise in behavioral, psychosocial, neurobehavioral and public health research and/or interventions having substantial life-long impact on child health and development. The goal of the training program is to prepare scientists who will define the ranks of the next generation of researchers who can effectively study and intervene with children and families. The research of the training faculty reflects wide-ranging interests in factors affecting development with a lifespan perspective and a committed urban health mission. Common themes address how children and adolescents and their families can be helped to meet biological and environmental risks in their lives.
There is a particular interdisciplinary research focus on Developmental Transitions in Urban Children and Adolescents during critical developmental periods affected by behavioral, social, biological, and environmental challenges. The complexities of behavioral and cognitive development require research skills rooted firmly in core disciplines and that also transcend departmental / disciplinary boundaries. The MPSI graduate program develops trainees towards productive research careers in child and family development through intensive apprenticed research experiences and mentoring in multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and translational sciences.
The program is open to academically strong students pursuing doctoral degrees in research focused on children and families. Degrees are granted typically through the Department of Psychology, School of Social Work, College of Education, the Translational Neuroscience Program, and others. Mentors are the MPSI faculty plus other selected affiliated faculty mentors from these programs and the Pediatric Prevention Research Center. The training program is directed by Dr. John H. Hannigan, Deputy Director of MPSI.
In brief overview, the MPSI program complements training experiences in the graduate research programs of the partner disciplines. Trainee success is marked by 1) publications; 2) a dissertation project that reflects at least two disciplines; and 3) submitting a competitive NRSA and/or similar grant application. This primary focus on research training is enhanced by opportunities fostering 4) professional skills needed by successful academic researchers; 5) a confident ability to network effectively with peers and senior colleagues; and 6) effective community engagement facilitating productive and meaningful research with and for the urban community.
To develop interdisciplinary research expertise and professional competence the MPSI training program is structured with four core interconnected activities:
- Intensive Mentored Research within a cohort of graduate students learning together, guided by individualized hands-on apprenticed research learning with a primary mentor, aided by a mentoring team that capitalize on the inter-disciplinary strengths among the participating faculty from partner departments and programs, and utilize structured Individualized Training Plans and evaluations to facilitate progress.
- Didactic Courses include a MPSI pro-seminar to orient trainees to multi- and interdisciplinary research on challenges to developmental transitions and urban health, complementing selected courses from partner program curricula, plus encouraging strengths in research design and statistical methods. The program includes including the MPSI Colloquium Series that features national and local experts.
- Complementary Professional and Academic Development activities foster trainee competence in responsible conduct of research, academic/research career advancement, and professional skills grant writing, publishing and more, plus opportunities to participate in national and local research conferences focused on children and families.
- Scientific Research Translation and Community Engagement activities help trainees to establish community-based research and to translate their research and knowledge into information appropriate to a concerned lay public.
For more information, please contact John H. Hannigan, Ph.D.

This is an abomination for them to use the low savings rates against us again by thinking they can take advantage of our predicament! People are not still giving them deposits at these low rates because they want to. Unless we want to take risks, we are forced to still use banks or credit unions. So it's like they have the knife in us and they just are going to keep twisting it until they destroy us permanently. "My country tis of thee, how can you do this to ME?"

Puppy Bowl 2013 to have hedgehog cheerleaders
Over-the-top cuteness factor
As your official purveyor of puppies here at Glamour (it's in my job description), I thought I had seen it all when it comes to omg-I-can't-handle-it cuteness—cute puppy pics, cute puppy videos, cute kitties, even cute goats—but Animal Planet has gone and announced today something truly amazing: For the first time ever, hedgehogs will be cheerleaders at the Puppy Bowl IX.
I know. I know.

The 2nd Annual Streamy Awards took place last week, and while I was already familiar with many of the award-winners, some I'd never heard of. Every year when new-media awards like the Streamys or the Webbys are announced, I watch the nominees and winners in hopes that I'll discover something that truly embodies the creative freedoms offered by the web, something unique and unlike anything in Hollywood. But every year I'm disappointed. This year's Best Drama winner, The Bannen Way, won specifically because it was the best of the bunch at emulating Hollywood. And while I feel there are a lot of brilliant comedies on the web — You Suck at Photoshop, Wainy Days, The Onion News Network — it's much harder to find compelling drama.
The most interesting drama series I saw via the Streamys was Compulsions (Streamy winner for Best Writing for a Drama Web Series): More »

Bloomberg features a behind-the-scenes look at Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta, the money behind Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and Station Casinos, both based out of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Zuffa LLC, parent company of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has filed suit against the state of New York on Tuesday (Nov. 15, 2011), calling "The Empire State's" ban on mixed martial arts...
Before the UFC became the juggernaut that it is today, it was simply a fledgling promotion that was bleeding money and on its deathbed. That is until Zuffa came into the picture and saved the sport as we know it. Read the story of how one family saved the world's largest fight promotion over at MMANation.com.
How much did the UFC pay for Strikeforce?
Chan Sung Jung will be training with Urijah Faber for the next month (pic). Can "The Korean Zombie" get his first win under the Zuffa umbrella with the help of Team Alpha Male? Or is he the one getting "The California Kid" ready for Eddie Wineland at UFC 128?
After suffering a knockout loss to Mike Pierce (12-3) in his Octagon debut at UFC 126, welterweight Kenny Robertson (10-1) has been released by Zuffa, according to FiveOuncesofPain.com.
Thanks for nothing: Andrew Cuomo takes 75k from Zuffa, omits MMA from NY budget proposal
Following his unanimous decision loss to Waylon Lowe (10-3) at UFC Fight Night 23: "Fight for the Troops 2" on Jan. 22, former Shooto Champion Willamy Freire (17-4) has been released from his Zuffa contract, according to Tatame.
Welterweight prospect Greg Soto (8-2), who most recently lost to Daniel Roberts(12-1) at UFC 125 on Jan. 1, has been released from his Zuffa contract, according to MMADieHards.com. The Kurt Pellegrino protege went 1-2 in his short stint with the UFC.
Following a unanimous decision loss to Charlie Brennamen (12-2) at UFC Fight Night 23: "Fight for the Troops 2" on Jan. 22, Amilcar Alves (11-3) has been released by Zuffa, according to TheGarv.com. The Brazilain judo specialist went 11-1 before entering the UFC where he lost his only two fights.

Ecolution Artistry Eco-Friendly 2 Quart Saucepan with Glass Lid Non-Stick
Ecolution Artistry Eco-Friendly 2 Qt. Saucepan with Glass Lid is used for simmering or boiling. Serves up tender vegetables or delicate sauces in style, with its flat bottom, straight sides, stay-cool handle and tempered-glass lid, this hardworking little pan can do big things in your kitchen! Also, use it to heat up soup, make rice pilaf & mashed potatoes and a couple dozen other things.
Ecolution Cookware has great product features and benefits. Their heavy aluminum transfers heat evenly, the handles are comfy and stay cool, and the pans are all dishwasher safe. See all our eco-friendly product specifications. All Ecolution Cookware is made with Hydrolon exclusive PFOA FREE non-stick. A Safer solution for healthy and eco-friendly cooking.
What is PFOA-FREE Hydrolon Non-Stick?Cookware by Ecolution with Hydrolon Non-Stick employs a new WATER BASED application system, marketed exclusively by Ecolution. The HYDROLON brand will only be placed on non-stick coatings that do not contain any PFOA, unlike traditional Teflon type non-sticks which use PFOA. Hydrolon PFOA-Free non-stick is super easy to clean and is dishwasher safe.
Hydrolon is a multi- layer non-stick, similar in that way to traditional Teflon type non-stick. All coats use water in place of PFOA (old fashioned harsh solvent) to apply the non-stick. When the non-stick is applied to the metal, the application solvent that evaporates is simply water, greatly reducing emissions. This non-toxic coating is a safer solution for healthy and eco-friendly cooking.
The coating has been thoroughly tested, and performs as well as old-PFOA Teflon type formulations. The spray application is done by machine for perfect application. Tests have been performed to make sure that the non-stick release and abrasion resistance is at a high standard.
These non-sticks have been tested for and passed the following series of tests including: Abrasion Test, Contact Angle, Release, Value Boil Test, Thickness Evaluation
The Technical Language: PFOA stands for pertluorooctanoic acid. It is a surfactant and until recently, was an essential polymerization aid used to make certain fluoropolymer dispersions.
In other words... PFOA is a solvent that was required in order to manufacture heat and chemical resistant materials as applied to cookware. The PFOA is burned off during the firing in process. Unlike Teflon based non-stick, Hydrolon uses a water based application system so it evaporates during the heating stage of adhesion of the non-stick. PFOA takes a VERY LONG time in the environment to breakdown.

SAN FRANCISCO -- There will be a victory parade awaiting the Marlins not long after they step off the plane in the early morning hours Monday from their West Coast trip.
It wont be for them.
But considering what misery and failure they have suffered through, could anybody blame the Marlins for basking just a little in the glow being aimed at their Miami basketball brethren the Heat for its successful NBA title defense?
By knocking off the San Francisco Giants 7-2 on Sunday, the Marlins completed their first winning trip in more than a year, improved their June record to 11-9 and survived a 10-game gauntlet of top teams with more wins than losses.
Great day. Great series. Great road trip, manager Mike Redmond said after the Marlins dusted the defending World Series champions for the third time in four days.
Said Justin Ruggiano, who hit two home runs Sunday: Were going to go home with our heads held high.
The Marlins havent done that since May 2012.
Thats the last time they had a winning road trip, and even that one was a little five-gamer. This time they won four of their seven games on a western swing in which they faced the Giants and first-place Arizona.
Nathan Eovaldi turned in six strong innings Sunday, members of the bullpen bailed out one another, and the offense came to life with three homers two from Ruggiano and the other provided by rookie Marcell Ozuna, who also drove in another run with a double.
Redmond sensed from the outset that it would be a good day.
In that first inning, when we got in the dugout, guys were fired up: Lets win this game! he said. Then Ruggiano hit that home run, and I thought, All right. I think were going to be in business today.
Ruggiano made Redmond look like a genius on the second pitch of the game. Redmond started the outfielder in place of Juan Pierre in the leadoff spot for the second day in a row.
Asked to explain his lineup decision by reporters just a few hours before Sundays game, Redmond said: I think this guy [Giants starter Matt Cain] throws a lot of fastballs. I think Ruggianos a good fastball hitter. Just a feel. Hes the kind of guy, maybe he can put one in the seats.
Ruggiano deposited Cains second pitch a fastball into the left-center-field bleachers, and the Marlins had themselves a 1-0 lead out of the starting gate. It was only Ruggianos third career game batting leadoff.
Ive been saying Im waiting for that first pitch to jump on, just like Rickey Henderson used to do it, Ruggiano said. The first pitches were balls all three times. But the second pitch [Sunday] was there, and I got him. I actually put some good wood on it.
Laughed Redmond afterward of his decision to keep Ruggiano at the top of the lineup after his 0-for-5 Saturday: Its Jack McKeon-esque, right?
Ruggiano also connected on a two-run shot, his team-leading 11th home run of the season, in the ninth to put the game out of reach.
But it took a few big plays for the Marlins to fend off the Giants. After opening a 3-0 lead, the Giants cut it to 3-2 with a run in the sixth and a Hunter Pence leadoff homer in the seventh off Eovaldi.
With runners at the corners and one out in the seventh, Ryan Webb fielded a come-backer and turned a 1-6-3 double play to get out of the jam.
And in the eighth, the Marlins caught a break when what appeared to be a poor decision by right fielder Giancarlo Stanton turned out in the Marlins favor. With one out and a runner on first, Stanton fielded Marco Scutaros single and fired to third in a hopeless attempt to get the runner there.
When Scutaro saw the ball sail over the head of the cutoff man, he took off for second. Ed Lucas took Stantons late throw, fired down to second and gunned down Scutaro for the second out. Chad Qualls then got Buster Posey on a ground ball to end the inning.
You can understand Scutaro being aggressive there, but that was a huge out, Redmond said. If hes safe, that could have been the game.
In April and May, when the Marlins couldnt buy a break, it probably would have been the game.
When youre not playing well, you dont get any breaks, Redmond said. In April, that ball might have taken a bad hop, went over [Lucas] head and landed six rows up in the stands. But today it worked.
The Marlins, for the first time all season, are feeling good about themselves.
Awesome road trip, Ruggiano said. Its kind of exciting to come to the ballpark. Were having fun. Thats all I can say. Were having fun. I dont think well see April and May again.

HOLTSVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say three animal heads and an opossum shot in the face were dumped on Long Island.
The Suffolk SPCA say doctors removed more than six pellets from the opossum's face, neck and torso. The animal was discovered inside a garbage pail in front of a Holtsville residence on April 24. The opossum is expected to survive.
The animal heads, believed to be from goats or sheep, were found Tuesday in clear, plastic bags dumped about a foot off the roadway in East Northport.
SPCA chief Roy Gross told Newsday that they appeared to have been killed recently.
He said they may have been killed in a religious ritual or on a farm for food.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Suffolk SPCA at 631-382-7722.

As of Sunday morning, with just about one-third of the season remaining, the American League wild-card race stood this way:
Five teams within 1½ games of the two spots, currently held by the A's and Angels, that will meet in the American League wild-card play-in game on October 5. Here, however, is a potential problem:
October 3, 2012
End of 2012 MLB regular season
October 5, 2012
Wild Card playoff games
October 6, 2012
Division Series begins
One day. October 4 is the only day set aside for tiebreaking games; the rest of the postseason is on a very tight schedule, arranged so that Game 7 of the World Series won't run into November (it's set for October 31 under the current scheme, weather permitting).
The five teams currently in that extremely close race are from all three divisions. Only the Tigers, at the present time, are within hailing distance (also 1½ games) of their division lead; the others are all at least 5½ games behind their respective division leaders, although, as we learned in 2011, that sort of deficit is far from insurmountable, especially with nearly two months remaining in the season.
There has never been a tie for a postseason spot involving more than two teams in the history of baseball. That's by sheer luck -- we nearly had one in 2010, when the Giants, Braves and Padres would have all wound up with the same record if the Padres had defeated the Giants on the season's final day; San Diego and San Francisco would have tied for the division lead, and both would have been tied with Atlanta for the wild card. It almost happened in 1964, too; if the Mets had defeated the Cardinals on the season's final day, the Phillies, Reds and Cardinals would have tied for the NL title.
It's bound to happen sooner or later, and with an extra postseason spot in play and so many teams vying for it, this year could be the time. That would make for an exciting stretch run... and a real problem for MLB, because as Jayson Stark points out:
There's now too strong a likelihood that there could be at least one tiebreaker on that Thursday to settle a division or wild-card race. Under this system, remember, virtually every tie would have to be settled on the field, because the difference between finishing first and being a wild card is too significant to be left to any sort of mathematical formula.
If there is, in fact, a tiebreaker Thursday, it would create a serious mess. Potentially, it could force a team to play its regular-season finale Wednesday in one city, a Thursday tiebreaker in another city and the Friday wild-card showdown in a third city.
And that's if there is just one tie to be broken between two teams. Add a third -- or fourth, or fifth -- team into the mix, and you have to play multiple games. It'd be even worse if one or more of those teams is tied for a division title as well as one of the wild-card spots.
No one from the commissioner's office has yet said anything about this possible mess. It's likely if anyone did, you'd hear embarrassed harrumphing instead of a viable solution, caused by trying to shoehorn the two additional wild-card teams into a season where the schedule was already set, instead of waiting for the 2013 realignment.
I'm kind of hoping for a multi-team tie just to see Bud Selig sweat. It'll be an interesting stretch run.

What nerve! They get rid of their tellers, pay savers practically NO interest and then they want to drive up to our apts or homes and rub it in our faces with a Mercedes?? The only way I would agree to that is to have them bring an extra Mercedes to park in our lot for us! This takes the cake. They sure can afford fancy cars probably with the salaries they are making on our backs. There is no way in Hades, Chase would have the nerve to drive up to my door. What happened to Ford Escorts? They are too good to show up in an Escort? All this does is give them the chance to fire more people and close our banks. This has to be a joke.

Dwell on Design, America's largest design event, is back in Southern California at the Los Angeles Convention Center beginning today. However, a series of events and tours has been taking place over the past week; we were fortunate to attend the Westside home tours last weekend to see five exceptional modern homes and an unequivocal highlight was the Dwell Home Venice.
A collection of follies and breezeways, the Dwell Home Venice (designed by architect Michael Sylvester) blurs the lines between indoor/outdoor. This design maximizes the temperate Southern California coastal climate and allows for some stunning sight-lines, such as the below from the master bedroom:
The inside/outside design transforms pine needles (an otherwise nuisance) into a naturally carpeted courtyard just outside the kitchen/dining room module.
The entire structure is clad in ebony stained cedar siding. Leaving the planks out for 8 weeks ensures they are acclimatized to the Venice air and won't shrink or swell once installed.
Rooms were staged during the tours, but one guesses that the final layout will be different once the residents move in sometime later this summer. Which allows us to consider some indoor-friendly outdoor furniture and distinctive contemporary lighting that might work well with such a beautiful space.
Let's start with two new LED pendant lights which Laguna Beach-based Cerno are debuting at the Dwell on Design event:
Left to Right: Cerno Laurus and Mica Pendant Lights
Add something for whiling the lazy weekend afternoons away. The dark weave of this corner chair will look great against the home's cedar siding; UV protection and weatherproofing ensures it'll stay that way come rain or shine.
Zuo Cartagena Aluminum Modern Outdoor Corner Chair
The Dwell on Design show runs June 21-23, 2013; more home tours are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. Expect crowds if you go, but planned to be happily wowed by an impressive array of panels and innovative design exhibitions.

I am a true believer in using pops of red in a room. I think every room needs some red! A little goes a long way, which makes your job of adding some pops of red a little easier! Just the right amount of red can be so cheery and fresh. Also! A huge bonus about the color red. It's used in most holidays! Christmas, Valentine's, the fourth of July, so not only is it a fun color to add to a room, it's also useful!
This room is a great example of how pops of red can make a room more fun and cheery. I love that this one seems like the perfect living room for kids. Doesn't that couch look super comfortable? Notice that there isn't a lot of other colors or décor in the room. The red is kind of all you need! So do yourself and your space a favor and get some red in your life.
Kite White and Red Ikat Fabric Decorative Throw Pillow, Zuo Marius Modern Red Steel Set of 2 Counter Chairs, Modern White Art Shade Poppy Red Ovo Table Lamp
I love this table lamp. It's modern without being too modern. The shape and color are perfect! And the white shade is a great neutralizer. These stools are amazing. I have seen them in silver but I am really loving them in red! They are perfect for adding an industrial touch to the room. And I love how little space they take up! The pillow is a fun pattern with a great bunch of accent colors all in the red family. So basically it's awesome.

There is something to be said about the combination of stylish wallpaper and modern lighting. This pairing is often the very thing to take a space from ordinary to extraordinary. It's easy to see how mixing really great lighting and a pretty pattern is appealing and welcoming to all members of a home.
Clearly, there are many different ways to implement this look. I love the approach of not taking the wallpaper from floor to ceiling (shown above), but leaving some open space which, in turn, makes room for the light fixture to stand out and shine. And, choosing a modern fixture in a traditional silhouette is such a great idea.
If your wallpaper is bold in either color or pattern, than opt for a simple pendant light. This way, the light doesn't have to compete with the pattern. Instead, it pops out and compliments the wall like a beautiful accessory.
Have you ever thought about being so bold as to mix pattern upon pattern? Somehow all of the mismatched wallpaper and textiles seem to match just right. A patterned drum shade pendant blends right in with layers of pattern found all over a room. I love this bohemian space that, instead of looking busy, somehow manages to evoke a relaxed look.
Wallpaper (and pattern) doesn't always have to be busy or overwhelming. It can be simple, monochromatic, interesting and not overpowering. If this is the look you like than why not consider a brightly colored lamp for a pop of color or added interest?
If you aren't sure where to start when decorating or updating a room than I suggest starting with pattern and great lighting. It will liven things up in an instant, adding a creative style that both parent and child will equally adore.

The first thing that your visitors will see when arriving to your home is the entryway. It should give an immediate wow factor for your home. And it also should reflect your personality. Entryways are a hard space to design. Mostly because you want it to feel natural and not too cookie cutter. I've found a few entryways that will spark creativity for your own home.
The entryway/hallway that we see above is sleek and super attractive. Benches are great for providing seating when someone has to remove their shoes. That floor lamp is a nice creative touch, paired with the minimalist art.
For a more simple, small space entryway, take tips from this space. I love the wooden knobs on the wall. It's modern and gives lots of room for hanging coats, hats and bags. Also the stool gives just enough seating and is perfectly paired with the art piece above.
A pop of color always adds character and personality. Try painting the inside of your entryway door a bright color. Also wow your guests by adding a beautiful pendant light above.
This last look is clean with lots of fun details, including the awesome lighting and equally awesome flooring. And can we talk about that built in bench? Perfection!

Crossover between creative fields is inevitable. Music influences film, which influences fashion, which influences home design and decor. It's not always obvious and it's not always literal, but as we move forward culturally, we carry creative influences into every corner of our little worlds.
Looking at what's breaking this summer in music, we've noticed that the vibe is a throwback to vintage mod and new wave...and we can't help but wonder how that will cross over into contemporary design.
First, let's start with our summer playlist:
Rush Midnight (pictured above):
If a lovechild between Billy Ocean and Haircut 100 was actually possible, dance-inducing pleasure popsters Rush Midnight would be it. Enough said. Too much said, really.
Bratty and brash, Savages wrap the post-punk energy of Patti Smith into a well-coiffed, contemporary package.
Deer Hunter:
Washy and atmospheric indie rockers Deerhunter have always been good for summer lazing and listening, yet their most recent and raucous record, Monomania, is a much more assertive soundtrack, perfect for a lively and well-lived summer season.
Three sisters from the Valley in Los Angeles, the women in Haim were born and bred to be the pop stars they are. Their hit "Don't Save Me" is a throaty John Waite-esque anthem chronicling the heart's desire for co-dependence and the independent spirit's need to rebel against it.
The National:
Everything cools down at some time or another (even hot summer days) and The National have been providing that soundtrack for years. Poetic, measured, a touch dark and, as always, hum-along-able.
Now let's look at a handful of like-minded designs:
Clockwise from upper left: Tech Lighting Silver Glaze Aqua Glass Satin Nickel Pendant, Tech Lighting Fire Satin Nickel Cobalt Glass Mini Pendant, Possini Euro Darby Red Glass Pendant Light, Set of 2 Wishbone Y Natural Wood Side Chairs, Howard Elliott Z Mirrored Accent Table
Colored glass pendants are easy to match the vibe of your summer playlist. Mirrored accent tables and furniture definitely capture the mod mood. But is there really a correlation between music and design? Does one influence the other, or are they both just players in a greater cultural trajectory? We're not sure, but one thing's for certain: 2013 promise to be yet another good looking and listening summer.

2012 Uno
Looking to fall in love…with a stroller? With a reversible handle that quickly converts this stroller to a carriage, our luxurious Uno could easily be "the one."
For most of us at Peg Perego, it was love at first sight with the Uno. And every time we show someone new how easily the Uno converts from baby facing you to the world ahead (even with baby in the seat), there's always a few "oohs and awes" in the room.
Any busy parent can appreciate how the Uno follows baby from infancy to toddlerhood without requiring extra components or accessories, but it turns out that versatility may also be what's best for baby. Researchers at the University of Dundee in Scotland found that caregivers were more likely to speak to the child when he or she was riding in a rear-facing stroller, compared to a forward-facing stroller.
If that's not enough, check out these other great features:
- Reversible handlebar with variable height adjustments and a detachable adult cup holder
- Travel system compatibility that allows our Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30 car seat (sold separately) to attach easily to the retractable hooks
- Smooth zero-radius turning in rear-facing mode for effortless turning in tight spaces
- Large, handy storage basket
- Hood converts to a sun canopy with two-way zipper
- Child's snack tray with drink holder attaches easily to front bar
A true luxury stroller, the Uno is a perfect lifestyle fit for parents looking for a versatile, all-in-one answer to the many stroller systems available on the market today.
What do you think? Please share your thoughts and questions about the Uno below. We'd love to hear from you!

Both directions of travel have opened back up on Interstate 80 just West of the Nevada state line after a mudslide closed both directions Tuesday afternoon.
CalTrans Released this statement Tuesday afternoon:
A major mudslide triggered by severe thunderstorms late this afternoon closed Interstate 80 about 1.5 miles west of the California-Nevada border, according to the Department of Transportation.
Caltrans crews are en route to the football field-sized mudslide covering both the westbound and eastbound lanes with 3 to 8 inches of mud and debris. Eastbound traffic is being directed off the interstate at Hirschdale Road in Truckee. Westbound traffic is being turned around at the state line.
Motorists should use alternate routes. Eastbound big rigs are being routed on Highway 89 through Loyalton to Highway 395 in Nevada. Westbound big rigs are being routed to Highway 395 through Loyalton to Highway 89 to Truckee.
There is no estimated time for the opening of the interstate. Highway message boards in California and Nevada will provide the latest information. Caltrans will provide updates on Twitter @D3PIO and on Facebook at CaltransDistrict 3.

He is scheduled to graduate in December and will have 2 years of eligibility remaining. I have emailed Mohammed Seisay and I'm waiting to confirm if he will be Official Visiting with Travell Dixon together in December. Seisay has taken two official visits so far in Indiana and Nebraska. I mentioned Seisay as a prospect to watch earlier this year in our Recruiting Discussion back in August link With Mike Harris leaving, Florida State is looking for more experienced depth in the secondary which Seisay brings along with 6'2 size and the hips to stay at CB. He also has the size to be used at Safety. Seisay response to FSU offer: Coach Stoops came by from FSU.. man! thank you for the offer "with my Seminole chop"

The Bhagavad Gita's teachings are filled with deep philosophy and practical advice for all life situations. It offers a source of help for human beings to solve the ever-present problems of birth and death: pain, suffering, fear, bondage, love, and hate. This is a continuation of the teachings from last year's course, starting instruction from chapter seven. Students who did not participate last year are welcome to attend and are advised to read chapters one through six of the Bhagavad Gita with Swami Sivananda's Commentary. Daily readings and lectures will give unique interpretation and insight into the Bhagavad Gita.
This course is open to all students who wish to deepen their knowledge and application of some of the highest teachings of Yoga. Participants do not need to be Yoga teachers.
This course was originally scheduled to be presented by Swami Swaroopananda.

San Rafael activist Jonathan Frieman has a new tactic in one of his longstanding pet causes: taking to the carpool lane to make the case against corporate personhood.
When Frieman drove solo in the carpool lane on Highway 101 in Novato early on Oct. 2, he did so with a clear plan. When he was pulled over by a California Highway Patrol officer, Frieman claimed that he wasn't alone: he had a pile of documents next to him that were part of a corporation he co-founded, the JoMiJo Foundation. Frieman, a 59-year-old political activist, said the state's definition of a person includes a corporation.
The officer disagreed, and issued Frieman a $478 ticket. He will challenge his traffic violation in Marin County Superior Court on Monday, Jan. 7, at 3 p.m.
"The case is kind of complex. What I want [the judge] to do is say 'no' so that I can appeal," he said, adding that he hopes to be able to appeal the case all the way to the Supreme Court.
"If [the judge] says 'yes' then everybody can ride in the carpool lane," he said, adding that this would be one carpool excuse that works. "There's a long history of people trying to do everything they can to ride in the carpool — from a person in a hearse with a dead body to a pregnant woman."
But the case isn't about being able to ride in the lane. It's about making a political statement.
Frieman, who made headlines in 2011 when he challenged the state Assembly candidacy of then-San Rafael City Councilman Marc Levine, said he had been trying to bring light to the "absurd" corporations-are-people definition for more than 10 years, putting himself as bait in the carpool lane roughly 25 times.
"I don't want corporations to be defined as persons," he said.
Though he said his pursuit of the corporate personhood issue wasn't sparked by the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling, that issue has been at the heart of the ongoing debate over campaign finance and the ruling case sparked an onslaught in corporate campaign contributions.
When asked to briefly describe the state's rational for corporations counting as people, Frieman said he had to pack 160 years of jurisprudence, or the study and theory of law, into a few sentences.
He continued and said it was railroad corporations in the middle of the 1800s that originally pushed for corporations to be people. "Two hundred years ago corporations were just investment tools" and only lived a short period of time, roughly 10 to 15 years, Frieman said.
Back then, "[Corporations] couldn't give money to charities and they couldn't give money to politics," he said. "All of that has changed."
