UNT welcomes first Terry Scholar
Subscribe Unsubscribe
From a UNT News Service press release
Krystal Casta˝eda, a first-generation college student from Cedar Hill, became the first Terry Scholar at UNT when she started graduate work in January.
In December 2009, the Terry Foundation, Texas' largest private scholarship program, announced that it would expand to include students from UNT. The first full class of 16 scholars will be selected this spring and start classes in the fall.
"Being part of the prestigious Terry Scholars program aligns perfectly with UNT's continuing commitment to enroll the state's top students and helping them achieve timely graduation and successful careers," says Troy Johnson, UNT's vice provost for enrollment management. "Krystal is a perfect example of the type of hard working and high achieving students that we will attract through the Terry program."
Casta˝eda was selected as a Terry Scholar in the spring of 2006 and spent the first seven semesters of her scholarship at Texas State University. She earned a bachelor's degree in advertising in December 2009. Upon graduating, Casta˝eda enrolled at UNT to pursue a master's in business administration with an emphasis on marketing.
It wasn't until after enrolling at UNT, that Casta˝eda found out that she would be able to apply her last semester of Terry funding to her first semester of graduate work. Casta˝eda says that she is excited to continue her relationship with the Terry Foundation.
"I feel very blessed. The Terry Foundation made my education possible. Without the financial support, I would probably have had to stay home and maybe attend a community college," says Casta˝eda. "The Terry program provided me with a great support system; it was like a small family."
After earning her M.B.A., Casta˝eda plans to pursue a doctoral degree. She says that as a first-generation college student, she wants to set a good example for her niece and nephews. While working on her master's degree, she wants to stay involved with the Terry Foundation by serving as a mentor for the incoming scholars.
The Houston-based Terry Foundation was established by Howard and Nancy Terry in 1986. Since its creation the Foundation has awarded more than $77 million in scholarships. Scholars are selected based on three criteria: leadership potential and character, scholastic record and ability, and financial need.

Careers service
Supporting staff with students' employability issues
The UCL Careers Service offers high quality careers education, information, advice and guidance to students and also supports staff dealing with careers or employability related issues.
For students who wish to embellish their studies with practical work experience, advice on internships is available as well as information on other alternate forms of work experience.
For general careers advice, the UCL careers service helps departments prepare their students for
employment through induction talks, group sessions, drop in sessions,
employer/alumni evenings and networking events. These activities include career planning, exposure to employers, skills development, application and CV advice, and mock interviews.
Each department is
assigned a careers advisor to tailor advice specific to their students'
needs. There are also specialist careers advisors for postgraduate students, international students and research staff.
Careers Liaison Tutors:
Careers advisors are supported by a network of careers liaison tutors, a role taken by a member of teaching staff within each department. These tutors assist the careers service in a number of ways:
- Working with the careers advisor to set a programme of careers sessions for each academic year
- Scheduling careers input into lecture times if possible, or else identifying times that will suit the majority of students
- Booking rooms and publicising the sessions through email and announcements in lectures
- Helping to facilitate information on the destination of students on graduation
- Familiarising themselves with the range of careers services available and promoting the services to students
- Working with the careers service to forumulate good practice and provide feedback
To find out who your Careers Liaison Tutor is, contact the Careers Service by emailing email@example.com or calling 020 7866 3600. Or, for a list of the Career Service's own advisors (who are all assigned to specific departments) click here.
Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) Statistics
Each year, all universities are required by the government to survey graduates' desintations six months after graduation. This information is then sent to the Higher Education Statistic Agency (HESA). Prospective students often use this information to help them decide where they want to study. Seeing graduates enter successful careers will make UCL more attractive to prospective students and continue UCL's high global ranking.
Graduates and current students at UCL can also see where previous students have found employment and get a snapshot of the types of careers that are available to them.
Heads of Department will have a hard copy of the statistics. Copies are also held by the careers service.
For students looking to continue with further studies at UCL and beyond, there is advice on hand regarding funding opportunities and scholarships.
For more information please visit the Careers Service web pages or, to find out who the careers advisor is for your department, visit the Careers Consultants site.

SALISBURY, Md. - Two teenagers are charged with assault, after a fight reportedly broke out at a Salisbury traffic light.
On Monday, around 11:45 AM, a Deputy with the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office, was driving near the intersection of College Avenue and Snow Hill Road, when they reportedly saw 18-year-old Jeffery Cannon, of Hebron, get out of a vehicle, go up to the vehicle in front of him, and punch the front seat passenger in the face.
According to the report, a fight broke out in the road, between Cannon and a 16-year-old Seaford teen, the intersection came to a halt because of it. The Deputy did break up the fight, and placed both teens under arrest. An investigation showed that the fight started after the Seaford teen, threw a hamburger at Cannon's car window.
Cannon was charged with assault and disturbance of the peace, and held at the Detention Center on $5,000 bond. The Seaford teen was charged on a juvenile referral, and later released to the custody of a parent.

|Rist takes lead position at Delphos Public Library
|Wednesday, January 09, 2013 2:01 PM
"I started at Brumback in 1985 as a page, so I was there for 27 years. I started part time, then moved to full time and eventually became a reference librarian and then assistant director," Rist said. "I saw in the paper that the Delphos library was looking for a new director. I saw it as an opportunity to advance to a director position, so I applied."
Rist and her husband, John, live in Middle Point, which conveniently leaves the distance she drives to work unchanged.
Since she was first hired at Brumback, Rist has received a college degree in Secondary Science and is currently pursuing her master's in Library Science at Kent State University.
Rist officially started at the Delphos library on Jan. 2 and is still in the process of settling in.
"The biggest change for me has been the staff coming to me to make decisions. When you're an assistant director, they don't ask you for definitive decisions. As a director, you're ultimately responsible for everything," she said. "I'm still settling in here, so I haven't had much time to make plans for anything. One big change we have coming up is the library will be joining the SEO Consortium, which means we'll have access to materials from 80-plus libraries."
Rist says the thing she loves most about working in a library is the opportunity to interact with the people.
"My favorite is meeting the public. I enjoy getting to know them and their needs. I like to make the library a welcoming place and a well-utilized place. I believe it is," she said. "I really like it here. The staff have been very nice and helpful and they're willing to go out of their way to help you. The community is really friendly, they've made me feel very welcome."
Rist and her husband have one son, Cole, and one daughter, Alicia.

PLATTSBURGH — An anonymous donor has made sure Henry Delord's burial place is not lost to history.
The prominent Plattsburgh citizen, whose home is now the Kent-Delord House Museum, died on March 29, 1825, and is buried in Riverside Cemetery.
"Since the grave is not at the Kent-Delord House Museum, the deteriorating state of Henry's grave went unnoticed," said museum Interim Director Connie Mandeville in a press release.
"It was not until one of our loyal volunteers, who wishes to remain anonymous, approached me about the grave did I realize something needed to be done."
The volunteer, she said, arranged to have Plattsburgh Memorials add a new stone to Henry's grave, engraved with the exact wording of the original one.
That way, as the writing on the first one continues to fade, a record of it will remain.
"Nothing was done to preserve the original gravestone because it could cause permanent damage to such an interesting piece of Plattsburgh history," Mandeville said.
"I am very pleased and thankful to have such great people who volunteer at the Kent-Delord House Museum."
She said she hopes in October to lead a small tour to view Henry's grave and also others related to the museum.
"However, the work on Henry's grave just reminds us that we still do not know where Henry's wife, Betsey Delord, was buried.
"Perhaps one day soon that mystery will be solved."
Henry, who moved to Plattsburgh from the Peru Quaker Union in 1811, had a general store called the Red Store during the War of 1812.
He and his partner, William Bailey, were the only ones in the city who allowed American soldiers to buy on credit in the days leading up to the Battle of Plattsburgh in 1814.
Gen. Alexander Macomb had promised the debt would be paid, however, it never was, Mandeville said in the release.
The Kent-Delord House may best be known for its time as the British headquarters during the Battle of Plattsburgh; it also tells the story of three generations of Delords and their impact on the North Country community.
For more information about the museum, call 561-1035 or visit www.kentdelordhouse.org or Facebook.com/KentDelordHouseMuseum.

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - Sometimes I just have to shake my head and ask, where are our priorities? Two recent news stories seem to make no sense at all when you put them together. Our state Department of Education predicts that South Carolina public schools will be forced to cut thousands of teachers' jobs due to budget cuts -- budget cuts forced by reduced state spending.
Headline number two: some football coaches at USC are getting raises averaging 17.5%. Did USC win the SEC championship? No! And how did our schools do? While we can't be satisfied until all our students receive a high-quality education, our state did place 6th out of 41 states that applied for the federal "Race to the Top" education grants. Money is not the only answer to upgrading public education, but cutting thousands of teachers cannot possibly help.
As for coaches' salaries, we all want USC to remain competitive. But let's face it, college football has become big-time entertainment. I challenge USC to work with the NCAA to get athletic salaries under control. Comparing athletic coaches to school teachers may be apples and oranges. But they are all public employees. And when Steve Spurrier's average assistant coach makes five times as much as the average public school teacher, that makes me question our value system.
That's my perspective. I'd like to know what you think!

Stop Wocka Flocka Flame's Music From Airing on MTV
For a few months now we have had to deal with this unbearable nonsense. The rapper known as Wocka Flocka Flames has terrorized our television screens with his horrible rhymes. And to make matters worse, he also went online and made a mockery of hip-hop by stating, "Nobody Wanna Hear That Damn DICTIONARY RAP." He's basically diminishing hip-hop culture as a whole. So i ask the American people to sign this petition to get Wocka Flocka's videos off of MTV and other mainstream media. My goal is to reach at least 1,000,000 signatures.

An Oil Field Dodge Brothers Takes You on a Thrilling Ride
During the oil boom in the early days of the last century, many of the roads in Texas were a bit on the primitive side, to put it mildly. Photos we have seen from that era, like the 1917 image of a Reo light truck seen below (via Clive Baker), show roads that are just a sea of mud. Enjoy the short film (above) where a Dodge Brothers sedan takes a wild ride through the Texas back country in the 1920′s. Many more Dodge Brothers photos (scroll down) and more information can be found here on The Old Motor.

Member related widgets are freaking out
Okay, this one is maybe my own fault. I've been poking my fingers in places where they probably shouldn't be, but I've reverted every bit of code that I've recently touched back to the 1.0b1 version and still no go.
Essentially, while my "members" page (bp-core-directory-members.php) works fine, the members widgets (bp-core-widgets.php) are not properly pulling members. Two blank members are being shown. "Blank" is the best way I can describe them. They are two identical gravitars that link to no existing member on the site.
If you want to see what I mean, I moved the widget to the news feed so is is not embarrassingly on the front page:
I had been messing with the widgets code, but I have reverted back to the original code. Debugging things I have tried:
hardcoding the max_members property as 10 inside bp-core-widgets.php
creating user objects, like on the members page with:
<?php $user_obj = new BP_Core_User( $user->user_id, true ); ?>
As I'm willing to explore avenues on my own, any directions you could point me would be helpful.

One of the first black members of the Columbia Fire Department has died.
Chief Aubrey Jenkins announced Thursday the death of retired Fire Department Capt. Abram Coles, Jr. Coles began his career with the department in 1953 and served for 35 years.
Jenkins met Coles in 1979.
"We just kind of hit off right away," he said. "My father died in '73 when I was a young boy and in '79 when I went to the fire department, I picked up a second father which was Capt. Coles."
Jenkins spent long hours alongside Coles, helping him out with his painting business on his days off.
"Capt. Coles kind of taught me the meaning of life." said Jenkins. "I learned my work ethics from my father but I learned how to be successful from Capt. Coles."
Their conversations often touched on Coles' early days on the job during segregation, before Brown vs. Board of Education and long before the Civil Rights Act. He was the last surviving member of the original eight black firefighters to join the fire department in 1953.
"He had some pretty wild stories," said Jenkins. "Names they were called and just the stuff they had to go through and they were determined to show that they could do the job as well as anybody else. Because they survived that gave me the opportunity I have today."
Throughout the years Coles was there to see Jenkins succeed.
"Everything that he did, everything that he taught me, everything that he said to me, it was for a reason," said Jenkins. "Because he wanted to see me succeed. I'm just glad to have lived out that moment where I did succeed to be the fire chief because I can attribute it all to him."
Coles was 87 years old. A funeral is tentatively scheduled for December 21st.

About ten years ago, I was talking with critic Matt Zoller Seitz, and he said that one of the things he thought which made the HBO series THE SOPRANOS (all six seasons available on DVD) such an exceptional show was the makers' willingness to let certain scenes play in continuous action, without a cut, allowing audiences simply to observe the actors minus any manipulation via editing or noticeable camera pyrotechnics. (Full disclosure: I had a recurring role on the show starting with the second season, playing Dr. Melfi's—-Lorraine Bracco's---shrink, Dr. Eliot Kupferberg. I also directed an episode for season five.) Matt's underlying point was that this way of working hardly exists any longer in features, and its unfortunate lack has a lot to do with the off-putting nature of so much current mainstream product, most of it cut like music videos or commercials, no shot allowed to last more than a few seconds at most.
In this regard, such independent successes as Billy Bob Thornton's Sling Blade (1996) and Neil LeBute's In The Company of Men (1997) noticeably went the other way, letting a great many of their scenes play in long takes, thereby increasing intensity, believability and involvement. Of course, the writing in most pictures is not as good as it was in those two (and is in The Sopranos), and a lot of fancy directorial footwork is an attempt to jazz up weak material. Any good actor prefers to play a scene through uninterrupted, because of the far stronger degree of concentration necessary and therefore more profound involvement with the character.
Making his first talkies in the early 1930s in France, Jean Renoir realized this and pioneered the use of long-running takes, camera stationary or moving, all in order to give the actors their continuity of motion and emotion. Throughout sound's golden age (1929-1962), nearly all the legendary directors—-Ford, Hawks, Hitchcock, Lubitsch, etc.—-alternated cross-cutting and montage with long uninterrupted takes. Orson Welles said that precisely the ability to do these well is "what separates the men from the boys."
Along the same lines, another similar sense of continuity is also at least partially responsible for the extraordinary success of The Sopranos, since it is essentially a very unpredictable and suspenseful hour—-uninterrupted—-in a medium founded on commercial breaks every seven minutes or less. In fact, The Sopranos is a remarkably deft blend of the best virtues of series-television—-the ability to really get to know a group of characters—-with the classic techniques of narrative American cinema (including inexorability), all filtered through a sensibility (creator David Chase's) that is definitively at the dark end of the '90s into the darker 21st century.
There is perhaps an additional influence—-since each season is dealt with artistically as a thirteen-hour feature—-from the epic scope yet familial ordinariness of Robert Graves' account of Augustus' 1st century Rome in the historical-novel-defining I, Claudius and Claudius the God, superbly adapted into fourteen video hours in the mid-70s by England's Masterpiece Theater (also available on DVD). No coincidence, maybe, that Tony Soprano's poisonous mother has the same name as Augustus' notoriously poisoning wife Livia.
Speaking of Robert Graves, he once wrote, on the importance of understanding history: "We must retrace our steps or perish." In movies, since we're only dealing with a hundred years, it isn't that difficult to look back and see what has gone wrong. Which is one of the reasons why I mainly keep advocating the older films—-ones that were better constructed, that were made for a wider audience known as the whole family yet directed toward adults, that generally cultivated an economy of means and gesture, that were guided with a truly personal yet unselfconscious and non-distracting point of view, that featured an amazing array of utterly unique star-actors whose increasingly resonant personas added immeasurably to the roles they played. It is because of all these things that people who either grew up with, or have been regularly exposed to, good films from the golden age (roughly, 1912-1962), find most of the current fare so anemic and unsatisfying. As only the second century of the movies continues, I still fervently believe we have most to learn from the pioneers and the masters who built such an enormously rich heritage for us to draw upon, both as craft and art. Wise mixture of past with present creates a really modern screen, whether it's in theaters or on TV.

I couldn't agree more. Nowadays, television shows are edited with 3 seconds takes maximum and the editing is sometimes exhuberant! Lately, a Quebecor tv show directed by Podz called 19-2, a cop show has been made with long shots and many uncut scenes. The tension and the visuals are more than worth the look. It lets the viewer forget that he is watching television and be involved in the story.
Robert Mulvihill | October 25, 2011 11:44 AM
Favorite long take in a (relatively) recent film: Harvey Keitel's "Christmas story" in Smoke. The shot zooms in so slowly and Keitel's performance is so amazing I didn't even realize that the shot's unbroken for five minutes until rewatching the scene. And it's set up so perfectly, too: a couple of relatively long takes with some nice reaction shots of William Hurt before Keitel really gets going and the camera stays with him.
Simon Gribben | October 25, 2011 6:23 AM
I tend to agree with you about cinema from 1912 to 1962 but why is that so and doesn't that leave your films on the doorstep? Lubitch (sp?) was a master of the long take as was George Stevens (the great grope in "The More The Merrier" between Joel McCrea and Jean Arthur). An example of an edit blowing a scene is in John Barrymore's "Svengali" when he's really emotionally in the scene in a wideshot but a closeup interrupts the emotional flow (a diva gesture or blown take?) and he's 100 degrees cooler in the close up. Then they go back to the wide shot where he's whaling away. Actus interruptess!
Frank Capra solved the same dilemma in "It's a Wonderful Life" when Jimmy Stewart is crying at the bar in a medium shot. Stewart only did the scene once really well, so to save the whole take, Capra cut the scene to a close up of Jimmy by optically blowing up the negative, using the one good take he had.
When you have 2 great actors playing a well written scene, a 2 shot reveals the give and take of each character without hiding the subtle non speaking reactions.

Not feeling the need for HBO (too much classical cinema to catch up on or see again), I never watched THE SOPRANOS much except on vacation--I did get a kick out of seeing Peter Bogdanovich in at least one episode I saw, but the show didn't mean anything to me, honestly.
Still, I read this piece with interest, for its broader view and celebration of long takes (the cinema is to me, profoundly, an art that deals with time and space--and a little more patience than most audiences now seem used to serves engagement with these things best) and acknowledgement of the abuses of the art of editing that have taken over at the expense of classical mise en scene. Editing is in truth one of the most important aspects of filmmaking for any director but it may actually be best appreciated in the work of long take directors, where the judicious cut within a sustained scene can have telling effect.
It was the last paragraph of this piece that resonated especially for me. I've been going to movies devotedly virtually my whole life, and that's quite a few years, and my range of interests in world cinema has been wide. But the further we've come from classical cinema--the years that Mr. Bogdanovich champions--the harder it has been to sustain that passion. I am one--and I know many others like me--who has started going to movies less and less in theatres, unless it's a special revivial or restoration or discovery; more and more, I prefer to stay home and see movies from the classical years, often ones I know well and have seen many times but they never cease to give me something. I hardly go to new movies at all now.
Coincidentally, the last new movie I saw in a theatre was Woody Allen's MIDNIGHT IN PARIS. People seem beside themselves over this--"Woody has returned to form" and "it was so charming" and such things. Well, if this was so charming, what is THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER? I
enjoyed it mildly and then quickly forgot it. I've liked other Allen films more, some enough to return to--he is genuinely witty and does have an intelligent understanding of film direction--though there's nothing there that puts him anywhere near the company of the great figures of cinema--the ones constantly referenced in this blog.
I don't say this with any great happiness--but not with any great sadness either: I'm certain that the first century of cinema was the best and always will be. CGI is basically taking it over and though the human element is still there, it's not thriving as it once did. Technological advances are fine but it's important to remember that they don't change the language of cinema, which was formed very early on--they can only displace it with something lesser and that's what's happening now.
Why no regret for the present state of things? Because that first century of cinema was so great, perhaps greater than has ever been fully acknowledged. So many major artists and enduring works of art, and even some of the more minor ones have major virtues. If it all stopped right now, there would still be so much to endlessly enjoy as well as study and learn from. And at no time in history could one go back and so vividly see the world as one can in the way twentieth century cinema was practiced, especially through the classical era but also in a fair share of beautiful modernist works that followed, some of those too, among the great movies.

I'd like to advocate for Mike Leigh's Secrets and Lies. A wonderful film in which there is a scene shot as you describe, Peter. I mean the scene where the black daughter meets for the first time the white mother who gave her up for adoption. Leigh has them meet in a cafe and sits them both on the same side of the booth so that he can shoot them in one continuous (and agonizing) take. We start to feel as uncomfortable as they do as the camera holds on them for so long without cutting. Oddly, in Hitchcock's Rope one feels the need for editing to ramp up the tension in that film. Without the tension created by the well-placed edit, that film doesn't work quite as well as it could have.

Interesting piece which again begs the simple question I've been dying to ask for years. What does Mr. Peter Bogdanovich think of the work of Mr. Woody Allen? Every time the theme of classical vs. modern cinema comes up here, Woody never seems to get a mention. Which is odd, as Woody would seem to tick all the boxes for what Mr. Bogdanovich advocates strongly. Nothing against Sling Blade, In the Company of Men, or The Sopranos, but as we all know Woody's been doing all of 'that stuff' from his own scripts, every year for over 40 of them. The constant referencing of Renoir, Hitchcock, Welles, Ford etc. is always perfectly fine. But one is left to wonder why one of America's most important and loved flim artists is never mentioned here.
Steve Lanigan | October 20, 2011 8:54 AM
Another erudite essay Mr Bogdanovitch. I will always advocate the charms of older films to anyone who will listen (Lang being one of my favourites), but as for your last comment regarding the correct mixture of past and present creating excellent modern cinema, I personally think Paul Thomas Anderson gives me much to be thankful for.

Best perfume I have bought so far this year. It costs $6 at the Dollar Store, and the package included a good sized jar of perfume, a roller ball, and a hand lotion. This perfume lasts on me for 5-7 hours. I am going back to buy the other impressionist perfumes to see if they're just as good.

I bought this bc of the price and wasnt sure what to expect. I dont know why everyone keeps saying it smells like white diamonds because it does not. It smells 80 percent like VLJ and has no staying power, which obviously sucks. But it does really smell like a great impression of VLJ. After having this perfume for a while now and smelling in CONSTANTLY lol, to me it smells like soap. I think impression perfumes are good to buy if you do not anticipate to rely on them. Girls.. you need the real thing. If you can not affor Viva la Juicy and just want this to maintain your signature scent or smell to smell ok, then fine, but this perfume alone should not be your go to fragrence. I am going to purchase the real VLJ and keep the impression bottle with me when i am on the go, so just in case it breaks i only lost a 3 dollar bottle and the 95 dollar real thing.

I bought it thinking it would smell as fruity as viva la juicy, but Its musky instead. Im sure there are people who enjoy this immitation thought. Its worth a try since it is worth less than 10 $ ibguess...

It smells like Viva La Juicy...for the most part...but it doesnt last. I had to spray a lot on this morning and by the time I got to work I couldnt even smell it. This might be ok if you keep it with you and respray throughout the day. I don't have time for that, though.....but for the price, it was worth trying.

They must have changed the formula from when the others reviewed this! It smells NOTHING like VLJ. It smells like White Diamonds or some other older woman classic floral. It is not necessarily an unpleasant scent, but c'mon! What's the point of a dupe??

This knock-off of Viva La juicy by Juicy Couture smells just like Viva La Juicy. I was impressed! It also stays on for a long time. The maximum stay is probably 5-7 hours for me. The packaging is super cute and adorable. Preferred Fragrance (the company who made this dupe) did a wonderful job with the packaging. I did wish I can take off the cap so I can transfer some of the perfume to my travel size bottle, but other than that, I love everything about it. For the price of La Vida Loca ($5), I will definitely buy again.

****Bought another big bottle, but it doesn't smell like the first one I purchased. They might have changed the formula **Btw, this review is for the big bottle sold separately. I ran into the gift set version of this @ a Rainbow clothing store in NYC but it didn't smell the same as the one i tried -- not as good of a dupe, in my opinion.
A more subtle version of Viva la Juicy. I tried this because I was with a friend and she pulled it out. She said it was good for the price she paid and smelled almost like Viva la juicy. I agree. It's not as strong as viva la juicy, and not as long lasting, but it's pretty good for the price (about 5 dollars?). Just a good fragrance, especially for those on a budget.
If I run into this, I'll be sure to purchase a bunch of these.

Not really sure what got into me to really want to buy a dupe fragrance. Typically impression-type fragrances smell off from the original and have horrendous cheap packaging, suspicious ingredients and basically not even worth my time however I'm actually quite surprised by this one. The scent on La Vida Loca is not "cheap" smelling as I would have assumed. Infact for an impression/replica-type scent perfume, it actually isn't full blast of alcohol at all. Quite heavy on the fragrance oils and minimal on the initial alcohol mist when you spray it (I've had worse luck with designer fragrances in regards to the alcohol issue). Ingredients are very simple: alcohol, fragrance, demineralized water.
The scent dry down is close to the original however it's slightly less sweet and more powdery/musky on me than Viva La juicy. Honestly, I prefer this one more than the original. The smell is a bit more mature but sweet at the same time. It still smells very close though that one can't tell it apart and should just assume the difference is merely due to a body-chemistry reaction on my end.
The sillage unfortunately like a heavy body spray than an EDP though which is why this won't get a 5 but the staying power is still decent and doesn't disappear in a few hours. Viva La Juicy is a very common perfume that I never wanted to spend full money on it but I have always liked the scent that occasionally I would want to wear it. The bottle to La Vida Loca is in sturdy glass with simple text printing and a heavy plastic cap adorned with a basic fuchsia bow... It doesn't look cheap at all that I don't mind putting this on my vanity. If you want a bigger bow, you can always customize it yourself. I've seen these range from $5-10 depending on the store.. I suggest looking around in trendy clothing shops as I've found a gift set with a 3.3oz perfume, 3oz body lotion, 3oz shower gel in a cute gift box for only 5 bucks! What a steal :)
P.S. I agree with the reviewer below that the name to this perfume is ridiculous however when I looking at these among a huge selection of other knock-off perfumes.. there's much worse out there that this one is tolerable.

Rather than identifying a single strike zone and giving binary credit for each pitch relative to that strike zone's borders (i.e., strike or no strike), our model gives partial credit for each pitch based on that pitch's likelihood of being called a ball or a strike. To determine that, we created a probability map of likely calls… To reflect what is best known about the way the size and position of the strike zone shifts from count to count and batter to batter, we ran individual models for each set of batter and pitcher handedness as well as [type of pitch]. The smoothing parameters of each model were allowed to vary by count, so that while the general shape of the strike zone derived for each variable combination did not change, the width and height of it did (reflecting, for example, a larger strike zone on 3-0 counts than on 1-2 or 0-2 counts). We also accounted for the changing size of the strike zone from season to season (although these yearly changes are much smaller than the other changes we measured).
We also corrected the data in several ways before running these models. First, all pitch classifications were hand-labeled by Pitch Info to eliminate variability in pitch labels… To account for batter height differences, we normalized the height of each pitch by the batter's height using what is now the standard formula (first published by Mike Fast). We also used the correction scheme that Mike published at BP for correcting the X and Y location of each pitch based on the likely distribution of pitch locations that each pitcher would use against left-handed hitters and right-handed hitters…
Rather than simply give a single credit for each pitch (~.14 runs) as has been done in many previous models, we looked at the count in which each pitch was framed and gave credit equal to the difference in runs between framing or not framing that pitch. For example, a frame in an 0-2 count was counted as more valuable than a frame in an 0-0 count, because a frame in an 0-2 count can result in a large change in run expectancy while a frame in an 0-0 count does not have quite the same impact… The run value for a framed pitch is the run value differential for that count… multiplied by the residual of the probability—in other words, if an 0-0 pitch is called a strike in a spot where it's normally called a strike just 80 percent of the time, the catcher will get 20 percent of the available value (.08) for a total of .0004 runs credited (which will later be adjusted based on the pitcher and umpire impact). Failing to get a strike on the same pitch would result in a .0016 run deduction…
We empirically determined each pitcher's value—to isolate it from each catcher's value—by performing a WOWY ("With or Without You") analysis… We also made systematic but small changes to the data based on the umpire who was calling each game…
we have regressed career totals to the league average… Because seasonal variability is different from career variability, we also regressed seasonal totals to career totals based on a similar formula…
You can find all of this new framing and blocking information in a couple place on the Baseball Prospectus site.

In the six-year span from 2008-13, the top gainers are:
McCann 127 runs, J. Molina 116, Lucroy 94, Martin 91, Hanigan 74, D. Ross 65, Y. Molina/M. Montero 62, C. Stewart 43, Posey 41
Chris Stewart must be outrageously good at this, since he only caught about 1700 innings during this span, while McCann had over 6000 and Molina had more than 7500.The "per 7000 opportunities" leaders are:
Chris Stewart must be outrageously good at this, since he only caught about 1700 innings during this span, while McCann had over 6000 and Molina had more than 7500. It really is too bad he hits like a pitcher.
Given the choice between Jose Molina and Mike Trout, I'm still going with Trout.Yeah, obviously.
if every pitch were borderline, Jose Molina all by himself would be subtracting about .75 runs per game from the staff ERA.What does that mean, though? I mean, the hypothetical where "every pitch is borderline" is so removed from reality that I don't know how you can say what numbers would make sense in that world.
I believe the authors when they say they've found a repeatable skill, and the players they identify as being good do have good defensive reputations. But I don't think they've completely nailed down the magnitude.As mentioned in the other thread, we're now giving credit to catchers for changes in pitch-by-pitch outcomes that we do not give to hitters or pitchers. If a hitter grounds out to short, we don't adjust his WAR or whatever based on working the count. We just say he grounded out to short, which is a value of -N runs, or -N/10 wins.

As previously noted, something's up with the blocking numbers. They need (IMO) to have it be zero-sum on an MLB level.
#12: a fair point but you may have missed this from the excerpt: "We empirically determined each pitcher's value—to isolate it from each catcher's value—by performing a WOWY ("With or Without You") analysis."No, I saw that. The way I read TFA is that they are attributing value to the pitcher solely for the sake of adjusting the catcher value from blocking/framing for the mix of pitchers they have caught; they are not actually adjusting pitcher WAR to reflect the additional value attributable to them. IOW, if without the adjustment they had a catcher at +10 runs, but based on the WOWY work they have the "true" catcher effect at +2 runs, then the catcher is given +2 runs but the pitchers don't get an additional +8 runs among them.
I'm glad people understood what I was saying there. It took me a while to get that point across because I was mis-explaining it and needed prompting to get it to mean what I was thinking...
No, I saw that. The way I read TFA is that they are attributing value to the pitcher solely for the sake of adjusting the catcher value from blocking/framing for the mix of pitchers they have caught;
cfb, as of now, the blocking stats are devoid of context. For instance, is saving six runs through pitch blocking good or bad? (Better than five, worse than seven - sure.) And, if your answer is 'we don't know without knowing how many opportunities they had,' then it's not yet a very useful metric.
Last year, per 100 pitches thrown, Clayton Kershaw's fastball was 1.81 runs better than average, his slider 0.63 runs, and his curveball 2.69. If we take these numbers literally, that means that Clayton Kershaw throwing a frameable fastball to Jose Molina would be 30% more effective, 81% more effective with the slider, 20% more effective with his curveball.
I just don't think an effect that large could go unnoticed. You would expect to see lots of pitchers --even star pitchers -- going to pieces on days when they have to pitch to the backup catcher.
Put it this way: for an average pitcher on a frameable pitch, throwing to Jose Molina is as big a change as having Clayton Kershaw's slider. Do you buy it?
Like I say, I think these guys are doing this the right way. I'm just not sure that the thing they're measuring corresponds to show-up-on-the-scoreboard runs in the same way that a play made or not made by a shortstop. I'm willing to say that Jose Molina generates 36 "Molinas" per 7000 chances, I'm just not convinced that 1 Molina equals 1 run.
I think this, along with vi's 12, is really interesting. And you don't have to stop with the pitch-framing runs. You can say the same about the whole principle behind WAr - converting base hits and outs into runs, and then converting runs into wins. Sure, there's a theoretical relationship, but how closely does that theoretical relationship track with how games are actually being won and lost on the field? It is kind of cool to break the game down into smaller and smaller discrete bits, but each subdivision makes the margin of error that much larger.
When you start to combine the two, you are going to run into problems.
I agree with the context, but I was just pointing out that it doesn't have to be a sum zero stat. Let's say you have a very good catcher at blocking balls, and he happens to be the catcher for a knuckleball pitcher. A good blocker, with a lot of chances is going to generate a pretty high positive total using any system that ranks a players ability to block a ball in the dirt based upon compared to average.
With other fielding stats, there are so many chances that it naturally progress's to a zero sum, but with catchers you are dealing some what with selective choices in both pitch selection and on who catches the more wild pitchers.
Yeah, but I don't think that's insurmountable. We see this already in other contexts and it's rare that it messes us up in a significant way wrt position players (defensive sub / pr types being the big one in my mind).

Montauk, New York
Defined by it's algae-covered glacial boulder-field coastline, Montauk, or The End, where Long Island juts into the Atlantic Ocean, attracts hordes of striper addicts clamoring for their striper fix. Swirling rip currents around the boulder fields magnetize plenty of forage and striper schools to the area, making it a solid attack point. Historically, Montauk has been a destination for serious striper fishermen to visit at least once in their career, so it's affectionately known as The Mecca. This is a surf-caster's paradise, as striper grounds are literally a cast away from anglers' feet, though boats can come in close enough to hug the shore and fish the boulder structure as well.
Trip Planner
Hot Spots: Browns, Lighthouse Rocks, Turtle Cove, Shagwong.
Top Techniques: Surf-casting with needlefish 1, swimmers 2 and poppers 3; bucktailing.
Essentials: 1- to 4-ounce bucktails 4 tipped with pork rind, corkers, 11- to 12-foot surf rod, ZeeBaas 5 or Van Staal reel, waders, sure footing.

The Texas Department of State Health Services has confirmed that there are now 101 cases of Cyclospora in Texas on Friday, including two in Smith County and one in Hunt County. This number marks an increase of 21 since numbers were released on Thursday.
Other affected counties include Collin, Comal, Dallas, Denton, El Paso, Ellis, Harris, Hidalgo, Hood, Johnson, Montague, Parker, Potter, Tarrant, Tom Green, Travis, Victoria and Williamson.
Dallas (17), Collin (16) and Tarrant (13) have reported the most cases. 21 cases are still pending assignment.
Cyclospora is an intestinal illness caused by a one-cell parasite invisible to the naked eye. It takes around two weeks to incubate then causes intense diarrhea, loss of appetite, weight loss, stomach cramps and pain, bloating, nausea and fatigue.
"It's typically a lower intestinal symptom like diarrhea and it can go on for a very long time, for weeks," says Dr. Ed Dominguez, an infectious disease specialist in Dallas, TX.
NET Health officials say the illness is believed to be foodborne. People get sick by ingesting water or food that has been contaminated with feces passed by a person who is already infected. They say to avoid getting sick people should thoroughly wash their fruits and vegetables.
"Don't eat them raw, straight out of a bag, or off the shelf, or even from the farmers market," Hopkins says.
NET Health is working to track down how the people in East Texas got the parasite.
"We look at their lifestyle as far as where they shop, what kinds of foods they eat, how they prepare it, and what restaurants do they frequent," says Hopkins.
They will then take that information to the State Health Department to decide if all of the recent Cyclospora cases are somehow related.
People who think they have been infected should see their doctor immediately. Untreated symptoms can last from a few days to a month and may go away for a while before returning.

DALLAS –– The Dallas City Council on Wednesday approved a $400,000 annual salary for incoming City Manager A.C. Gonzalez, an amount that's nearly $100,000 more than what his predecessor made.
Gonzalez made $250,000 a year while serving in the interim, which he began in June following the retirement of Mary Suhm, who was city manager for the past eight years. When Suhm retired, she was making $305,000 annually.
According to the contract, any increase in salary or benefits would follow an annual performance review by the City Council after a report from a committee appointed by the mayor. A 2/3rds majority of the City Council is required for his ouster, at which point he'll be paid an amount equivalent to 130 work days as severance. If he is fired due to a felony, he is not eligible for severance.
The City Council voted 12-2 in support of the contract, with councilmembers Rick Callahan and Adam Medrano voting against.
Supporters argued that city managers are typically paid much less than what many area CEOs make in the private sector. Councilman Dwaine Caraway said $400,000 was perhaps not even enough for the role. He compared determining a salary to what successful sports teams pay its players: "Look at the New York Yankees. They went after the best players. And you've got to pay the best players," he said.
"This is something that we have a decision to make on behalf of this city that's going to be a part of history for the next 20, 30, 40, 50 and 100 years," Caraway continued. "We can either play ball or we can sit on the sideline. We're looking for a championship."
Councilman Sheffie Kadane echoed the support, saying the salary represents a small amount compared to the investments Gonzalez will bring into Dallas.
"The amount we've given you is a small amount compared to what you'll bring the city," he said. "You'll be bringing millions and even billions into our city so we've hired a man for, what I believe, is a small amount to bring in compared to what you'll bring to us."
Others weren't so kind. Although only two voted against, some supporters said they felt the salary was too high. Councilwoman Sandy Greyson, who ultimately voted for Gonzalez's contract, said she believed the salary increase is "too big a jump."
"I'm very reluctant to support that," she said, adding that her opinion on the salary does not sway her support of Gonzalez as city manager.
Councilwoman Vonciel Jones Hill also expressed concern that the salary was bloated. She said she understood that the committee that recommended the salary may have done comparitive analyses, but that Gonzalez' salary should "stand on its own bottom."
"I believe that $400,000 is too high. I believe that the salary should have been set at no higher than 350 and I believe 350 is a bit on the high side," she said. Jones Hill also voted in support of the contract.
Councilman Adam Medrano was one of two dissenting votes. He said the salary was "a bit too high" and said he wished the 2/3rds majority required to fire the city manager was reduced to a simple majority.
After the vote, Gonzalez had few words: "On to the next level," he said.
Gonzalez, 62, is the city's 15th city manager and is a 15-year veteran of Dallas City Hall. He will oversee a budget of nearly $3 billion and 13,000 employees. Gonzalez will also appear on Inside Texas Politics on News 8 Sunday at 9 a.m.

MADISON (WKOW) -- A number of state lawmakers and health care professionals want to make sure health insurance coverage is not denied when someone uses alcohol and is then hurt.
Lawmakers in the assembly have yet to consider the ban on denying coverage. A companion proposal passed the senate unanimously.
Dr. Stephen Hargarten of the Medical College of Wisconsin said emergency room physicians are sometimes reluctant to screen a patient for alcohol use over the health insurance consequences.
"Emergency physicians all know the drill: Don't screen unless you want to put the patient's well-being at risk. We view the health insurers as potential adversaries, not partners in the challenge to reduce alcohol-related injury and death."
But Wisconsin association of health plans spokesperson Phil Dougherty said his member companies act responsibly when it comes to claims involving alcohol.
"They do not deny coverage based on alcohol consumption."
The association of health plans includes companies such as Dean, Physicians Plus and Humana.
Self-insured plans are federally supervised and not subject to the proposed ban on denials.
Denials have occurred. Family members of Marquette University student Isabel Ries said coverage of Reis' $25,000 in medical treatment was denied because Ries was legally intoxicated when her bicycle was smashed into by a hit-and-run driver.
UW Hospital surgeon Dr. Lee Faucher says with his hospital being a Level one trauma center, physicians are obligated to determine if alcohol or other substances are underlying health issues for emergency room patients.
Hospital spokesperson Susan Lampert-Smith said a recent study showed as many as 25% of emergency rooms admissions involve alcohol use.
Faucher says a law is needed to insure care is covered.
Faucher fears a slippery slope, if there is any ambiguity, "What could be next is the situation of the insurance coverage... of the lung cancer patient being questioned because they were a smoker."
Under the proposed law, insurance companies could still deny coverage if the injured person used alcohol and was in the commission of a crime, such as repeat drunken driving.

This was awesome, I changed the c/cheese to strawberry flavored c/cheese and omitted the icing sugar, and did not sweeten the strawberries. Thanks for the recipe!

Very good. I just crushed cinnamon grahams instead of mixing the graham cracker crumbs with cinnamon.

Strong passwords vital for safeguarding confidential student information
People using the new student administrative system are required to strengthen their NetID password to safeguard access to personal and confidential information.
"The technology used to break passwords has evolved and became more sophisticated, so improving authentication practices and incorporating stronger security measures is more important than ever," says Queen's information systems security manager George Farah. "A password with 10 characters, no numbers and special characters using only lower-case letters can be compromised in less than 10 seconds."
PeopleSoft student administrative system users who have access to personal and confidential information must ensure their NetID password meets three requirements. The new password will apply to all NetID-based services.
The strengthened NetID password must be at least 10 characters long and include an alpha-numeric mix as well as one special character. It must be changed every 120 days. And the same password cannot be used for at least five change cycles to ensure that if the account password is compromised, it will not be valid for at least 600 days (five change cycles of 120 days each).
"It's important you include randomly placed upper case letters, numbers and symbols so that the number of password possibilities is too large for someone to contend with by guessing," says Mr. Farah.
Changing the password every 120 days helps ensure the password is not valid by the time it is obtained by a breaking program and to prevent personal and confidential information disclosure especially for those who have responded to emails requesting their passwords.
"Anyone who is not required to strengthen their NetID password because they do not use the PeopleSoft web application should still seriously consider adopting these practices for their campus email accounts and other access as recommended on the ITServices security website," says Mr. Farah.
Because the new student administrative system is a web-based application accessible to anyone in the world who has an Internet connection and a web browser, the pool of people who can potentially access the university's personal and confidential information is now exponentially greater than it was with the old mainframe system.
ITServices offers guidelines for selecting strong passwords. And the full details of the strengthened password requirement for the new student administrative system can be found online.
