Research has shown that Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with emotional processing deficits. The impact of PD on communication and social interaction is gaining appreciation. Although successful treatments exist for motor signs in PD, few exist for the non-motor symptoms. This study examined the impact of a voice treatment (Lee Silverman Voice Treatment [LSVT; Ramig, Pawlas, & Countryman, 1995]) on facial mobility, social engagement, and emotional experience in PD. Fifty-three poser participants (39 PD; 14 demographically-matched healthy controls [HCs]) were studied. The PD posers were assigned to three groups: 12 received voice therapy (LSVT), 14 received articulation therapy (ARTIC; Spielman et al., 2012), and 13 received no therapy (Untreated). All posers were video-taped, before and after treatment, while producing emotional (happy, sad, and angry) and neutral monologues from the New York Emotion Battery (Borod, Welkowitz, & Obler, 1992). Monologues were divided into 15-second segments and evaluated by 18 naïve, yet trained and reliable, raters for facial mobility (amount of non-emotional facial movement) and social engagement (how much the rater wanted to interact with the poser). In addition, immediately following each emotional monologue, posers evaluated three aspects of their emotional experience: (1) intensity of their emotional feelings immediately following the monologue, (2) accuracy with which they carried out the monologue task, and (3) intensity of their emotional feelings throughout the monologue. Results revealed a treatment effect for LSVT, such that PD posers in this group demonstrated improvement in facial mobility, intensity of emotional feelings during the monologue, and immediate feelings after the monologues. Additionally, male posers in the LSVT group reported improved accuracy during the angry monologue following treatment. There were also gender differences; ratings for female posers on facial mobility and immediate emotional feelings were higher than those for male posers. There were no significant results for social engagement. The findings for facial mobility and emotional experience have clinical implications. Enhanced emotional experience may help improve mood disorders that are frequently co-morbid with PD. Further, LSVT might be useful in a broader range of psychiatric disorders. Finally, the findings regarding emotional experience provide exciting avenues for future research.
Building upon recent work that defines cognitive development as a continuous process of sense-making situated within a cultural and historical context this dissertation explores how youth growing up in New York City develop relational-flexibility, defined as a context-sensitive extension of perspective-taking enacted in narrative and discourse in interactions with culturally diverse peers. The theoretical basis for this study is that children and youth develop through interpersonal interactions as they enter and attempt to make sense of new communities of minds broadly defined in this work as groups of people gathered together by participation in joint cultural activities. Seen from this perspective, contemporary youth - growing up in large and diverse American cities - develop in a socio-cultural context which is radically different from the socio-cultural context that shaped the development of youth 20, 30 or even 10 years ago. This difference is, I argue, produced by increasing diversity and by the phenomenon known as the `time-space compression' of their social life. The study examines how immigrant and U.S. born youth, developing alongside one another in an hyper-diverse context such as New York City, enact relational-flexibility as they construct projective narratives in order to make sense of interactions with diverse others in situations involving technologically mediated interpersonal interactions. Forty-four youth (ages 15-19) were involved in a quasi-experimental research condition and asked to answer three questions in response to a vignette depicting a slightly ambiguous text-messaging (SMS) interaction between two non-gendered individuals. Given the confluence of factors involved in increasing diversity and time-space compression of social life with plausible effects on cognitive development, the following questions are addressed in this study: How do youth growing up in an increasingly multicultural U.S. society, manage to make sense of their diverse interpersonal interactions? To what extent do they develop and enact relational flexibility in narratives and discourse with their culturally diverse peers? Narrative construction of projective writing in response to questions aimed to engage the process of sense-making was analyzed using a well-known socio-linguistic narrative analysis scheme and focused, in particular, on the evaluative function in narrative. Findings indicate that immigrant youth have a greater range of relational flexibility then do their U.S. born peers. Immigrant youth use the functions of causation, logic and hypothetical reasoning significantly more frequently when attempting to make sense of interactions with members of their own culture than they do when attempting to make sense of bi-cultural interpersonal interactions with their U.S. born peers. Conversely, significantly higher use of affective linguistic devices in the process of sense-making by U.S. born youth scaffolds the use of affective discourse by immigrant youth who, over time, adopt that discursive strategy while maintaining another in relation to other immigrant youth.
It is not well understood why patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) have difficulty attending to relevant information in their environment. Deficits in top-down processing (such as difficulty using prior instruction or category identification to direct attention) or limitations in coping with rapid temporal demands maybe possible explanations for this impairment. This study was design to address attention deficits using the attentional blink paradigm that can dissociate top-down directives from rapid temporal demands. The attentional blink occurs when two stimuli (S1 and S2) are presented in rapid succession and the accurate identification of the second stimulus (S2) is reduced if it is presented very shortly after the first (S1). The accuracy of S2 was compared in patients with AD, age-matched healthy controls and younger healthy controls. We hypothesized that aging would affect the ability to keep pace with rapid presentations, but patients with AD would have additional deficits in top-down directives. Results showed that younger and older controls could utilize top-down instructions to improve their accuracy, but older controls could only improve their performance with sufficient time between stimuli presentation. This confirmed our hypothesis of age-related slowing. Accuracy in the AD group was lower overall than either healthy groups but importantly, performance was the same whether or not a priori instructions were provided. This supports our hypothesis that patients with AD are not able to utilize top-down directives. Results are discussed in the context of theories related to limited attentional resources and inhibition.
For the past three decades breastfeeding has been globally promoted as the ideal method of infant feeding with policy makers defining breastfeeding and shaping the current breastfeeding paradigm with their recommendations that often leave out the voices of nursing women. We believe that the voices of mothers and their infants can be a valuable source of information to balance this discrepancy and offer suggestions to changing the current model of breastfeeding education to better match their specific needs. One hundred and twenty-seven first time mothers (FTM) committed to breastfeeding were recruited from popular online communities that focus on pregnancy and parenting for a multi-method study on breastfeeding views. Participants completed a series of quantitative measures consisting of the Iowa Infant Feeding Assessment Scale, Ways of Knowing Inventory, and Maternal Breastfeeding Evaluation Scale that focused on maternal infant feeding preference, learning styles, and maternal breastfeeding satisfaction. In addition, a variety of open-ended questions regarding prenatal breastfeeding beliefs and postpartum realities were used to identify changes that occurred as women negotiated from pregnancy to the early and late postpartum periods. Repeated measures ANOVA indicated significant differences in the silence and subjective dimensions of the Ways of Knowing Inventory indicating that as time passed, women were less likely to feel as though they had no voice in matters concerning breastfeeding their infants, F (2, 142) = 3.21, p < .05 and more apt to realize the value of their intuitive powers and believe that the truth could reside from within as opposed to relying on outside authorities, F (2, 142) = 4.98, p < .01. Critical discourse analysis revealed power struggles between FTMs and hospital personnel whose actions often undermined maternal efforts. Infant responses to feeding method were found to play a pivotal role in breastfeeding outcome suggesting a bilateral decision making process. Mothers also preferred individualized care as opposed to generalized instructions. The adequacy of the current breastfeeding paradigm will be discussed with suggestions on how to restructure current breastfeeding education to be more focused on the unique needs of women and their infants.
Anti-atheist prejudice in the U.S. is socially accepted and rife--and not just because most Americans are religious. This research suggests that hostility toward atheists is related in part to protecting parental relationships. To the extent that they are established within parental relationships, shared reality theory implies that religious beliefs and associated attitudes will be psychologically defended to the extent that the parental relationships engaged are strong, healthy, and vital (Magee & Hardin, 2010; see also Hardin & Higgins, 1996). Three experiments examined the regulation of anti-atheist prejudice in the defense and protection of religious shared realities with parents, as implied by shared reality theory, and used parental attachment as an indicator of the strength and vitality of the parental relationship. The first two experiments explored parental attachment in the regulation of automatic anti-atheist prejudice during social interactions. In Experiment 1, automatic attitudes toward atheists were assessed with a subliminal sequential priming task in a social tuning paradigm in which the experimenter casually mentioned he was an atheist, or did not (e.g., Lowery et al., 2001). Interacting with an atheist reduced automatic anti-atheist prejudice among those with low parental attachment and, if anything, increased automatic anti-atheist prejudice among those with high parental attachment. Experiment 2 tested the causal role of parental attachment by experimentally manipulating parental attachment with an essay task and found complementary results: Interacting with an atheist reduced automatic anti-atheist prejudice among those with low manipulated parental attachment, increased automatic anti-atheist prejudice among those with high manipulated parental attachment, and did not affect automatic anti-atheist prejudice among those in a non-parental salience comparison condition. Experiment 3 manipulated the mere cognitive salience of the concept `atheist' (in the absence of relationship demands) via a subliminal prime word task. Subliminal exposure to the word atheist reduced explicit anti-atheist prejudice among those with low parental attachment and low parental religious shared reality, but not among those with high parental attachment or high parental religious shared reality. This research suggests that when religious people interact with atheists (or think about atheists) anti-atheist prejudice is activated and then regulated by parental attachment.
Fructose-Conditioned Flavor-Flavor Preferences in the Rat: Role of Dopaminergic Receptor Subtypes in the Nucleus Accumbens, Amygdala, and Medial Prefrontal Cortex by Danielle C. Malkusz Systemic administration of dopamine (DA) D1 (SCH23390) and D2 (raclopride) antagonists blocked both acquisition and expression of fructose-conditioned flavor preferences (CFP). It is unclear what brain circuits are involved in mediating these effects. The present study investigated DA signaling within the nucleus accumbens shell (NAC), amygdala (AMY) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in the acquisition and expression of fructose-CFP. In Experiment 1, separate groups of rats were injected daily in the NAC or AMY with saline, SCH23390 (24 nmol) or raclopride (24 nmol) prior to training sessions with a flavor (CS+) mixed with 8% fructose and 0.2% saccharin (CS+/F) and a different flavor (CS-) mixed with only 0.2% saccharin. In two-bottle choice tests with the CS+ or CS- flavor presented in a 0.2% saccharin solution, only rats injected with raclopride in the AMY failed to acquire a CS+ preference (45-54%). In Experiment 2, new rats were identically trained, but saline, SCH23390 and raclopride were injected in the mPFC. In subsequent two-bottle choice tests, SCH23390 -and raclopride -treated rats failed to exhibit a CS+ preference (50-56%). In Experiment 3, new rats were trained with CS+/F and CS-without injections. Subsequent two-bottle choice tests were then conducted following bilateral injections of SCH23390 or raclopride in the mPFC at total doses of 12, 24 and 48 nmol. Expression of the CS+ preference failed to be affected by either antagonist, indicating that the mPFC is not involved in the maintenance of this preference. These data indicate that the acquisition of fructose-CFP is dependent on DA signaling in the mPFC and AMY.
Individuals often overestimate the ability of others to accurately determine their internal states. This illusion of transparency has been shown to manifest itself in everyday scenarios, including when people are asked to estimate if others can tell when they are lying. Yet it has not been observed when truth-telling, nor investigated developmentally. The current experiments tested for an illusion of transparency when individuals were truth-telling and lying and investigated how a participant's age, dispositional self-consciousness, situational self-awareness and how questions were framed impacted the strength and prevalence of the illusion of transparency. In Experiments 1 and 2, children and adolescents (ages 9 to 17; n = 34) and undergraduates (n = 91) participated in a lie/truth-telling game, during which participants made true and false statements corresponding to past real-life events. Half of their statements were mock video recorded to alter their state of situational, public self-awareness. Participants estimated the transparency of their statements while other players judged the veracity. When estimating transparency, participants were asked to determine the number of other players who thought they were telling the truth or the number of others who thought they were lying. In Experiment 3, 135 undergraduate students played the same lie/truth-telling game, but the situational self-awareness manipulation varied between subjects and a mirror condition was added to investigate situational, private self-awareness. Results from the studies provide evidence that an illusion of transparency exists among truth-tellers. Participants in all three studies overestimated the number of others who would believe them when telling the truth. However, an illusion of transparency was not observed when participants were lying. There was a consistent interaction between statement veracity and framing. When telling the truth, participant's predicted more transparency when questioned with the truth frame than the lie frame, but when lying participant's predicted more transparency when questioned with the lie frame. Differences in the illusion were not impacted by the grade level of participants, likely due to an absence of developmental differences in self-consciousness. Child and adolescent participants experienced a greater illusion of transparency when self-aware; however this did not replicate with adults. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.
Improvements in academic achievement have been linked to childhood obesity indices such as greater physical activity (PA) and lower Body Mass Index (BMI). Yet, little is known about the mechanisms through which childhood obesity indices predict academic achievement. The present study tested whether the influence of PA and BMI on academic achievement is mediated by several cognitive and emotional processes that have been shown in past studies to have independent effects: executive functioning, concentration, and internalizing symptoms. This study also tested the antecedent role of SES on indices of childhood obesity and academic achievement. Data from the 1991-2007 National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development were used to analyze a sample of over 1000 U.S. children from ages 9 to 15. Path model parameters were estimated using Linear Mixed Models. The hypothesized meditational model was supported by childhood obesity indices predicting both reading and math achievement through cognitive processes (executive functioning and concentration) but not emotional processes (internalizing symptoms). Specifically, greater PA led to lower BMI which, in turn, predicted higher executive functioning performance, higher concentration levels, and then improved academic achievement in reading and math from ages 9 to 15. The results of this study may inform the development of school-based interventions and policy approaches to prevent childhood obesity.
The purpose of the present experiment was to assess the effects of several of forms of feedback on timing performance across a range of durations (range: 5-25 s) under conditions in which participants were required to perform a concurrent task. Type of feedback was characterized in terms of precision, a term adopted to describe the quantitative relation between properties of a given feedback stimulus with properties of the timing response. Two models for describing the precision of feedback stimuli were proposed. In the present experiment, 4 different forms of feedback that varied in level of precision in relation to estimated time and stimulus duration were employed in a between-groups design. Analyses of the log-transformed data suggested that various forms of feedback differentially affected time judgments, indicating a relation between the between precision of feedback and time judgments; greater precision yielded more accurate judgments. One of the two proposed models of feedback precision was better supported by the data. According to that model, precision of feedback increases in direct relation to the number of feedback statements contained within the feedback stimulus.
Depression is a common disorder with various clinical presentations and is frequently comorbid with anxiety disorders. The relationship of regional brain asymmetry to mood disorders has been informed by neuropsychological models in which emotion is lateralized along positive/negative and approach/withdrawal dimensions and by clinical reports of affective disturbances following localized brain damage. Studies of regional hemispheric asymmetries point to relatively less activity in left frontal and right posterior regions in depression. Anxiety has also been associated with less left frontal, but increased right posterior activity, which has been related to arousal and may, in anxious-depressed individuals, offset the posterior asymmetry normally seen in depression. These asymmetries have been indexed by EEG or inferred through the use of lateralized auditory and visual tasks (e.g., dichotic listening and chimeric face tasks). However, associations between regional EEG activity and neurocognitive function in depression or anxiety remain unclear. A number of neurocognitive deficits have been associated with depression, including poorer spatial than verbal skills, supporting right posterior deficits. The present study used matched verbal (Word Finding) and spatial (Dot Localization) tasks to compare task-related alpha asymmetries in depressed patients grouped according to level of trait anxiety. EEG was recorded from depressed patients with high anxiety (n=14) or low anxiety (n=14) and 21 age- and education-matched healthy adults during the two tasks, and alpha power was averaged within each task. Task performance was also recorded. As predicted, the two patient groups exhibited opposite patterns of regional hemispheric alpha asymmetry. Greater right than left central-parietal activation was seen in the high-anxiety depressed group during the spatial task, whereas the verbal task elicited greater left than right frontal-central activation in the low-anxiety depressed group. Additionally, low-anxiety depressed patients and controls performed better on the verbal than the spatial task, whereas there was no asymmetry of performance within the high-anxiety depressed group. These results are consistent with Heller's two-dimensional model of depression and anxiety and highlight the sensitivity of task-related alpha in discriminating among subgroups of depressed patients differing in trait anxiety.

1 voteOverall, not a bad movie. Despite the fact that you figure you know how it will all turn out, there is still enough suspense, nicely built up. While I am not a fan of Rosario Dawson, I must admit she did a decent enough job, and Chris Pine and Denzel Washington were also good. Decent enough story, definitely didn't feel disappointed in having paid to see it in theatre, and definitely intend to ... read more

Rated 5 out of 5?by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5?by fbresident great apartment, great location! I have had nothing but great experience at fox brook. Pros: -We were fortunate enough to get a 1 bedroom towards the back of the property, so we can't hear the traffic on Southwestern Blvd. -The open concept kitchen/living room is ideal. -full size H.E. washer and dryer is very convenient. there is also shelving provided above for linens/detergent/etc. -the appliances in the kitchen all worked, no problems. Ample cupboard space and microwave included. -bedroom comfortably fit a queen size bed, 2 end tables, two dressers -the size is just right. for a first apartment, this is great. not too big, not too small. its not HUGE, but that means less cleaning! -I've had to call the maintenance staff about 4 times. each time they were there to fix the problem within 30 minutes. Also, very friendly and always say if there's any more problems, don't hesitate to call, even if it's at 10pm -great little patio area for a grill and outdoor seats -NOBODY ABOVE YOU!!! nobody stomping around or creaky floors above you -although you CAN have dogs, I rarely hear any resident's dogs barking -location is great. If you forget something while grocery shopping, it only takes a few minutes to get to walmart. Wegmans, tops, aldi, and the mall are within 5-10 min as well -another thing I love - You randomly get $10 off a $10 purchase at Kohls! We got one when we first moved in, and I thought it was a welcome thing, but we got at least 4 more throughout our time there..didn't have to sign up for anything! -there are enough parking spaces where I have a general "spot" for my car, and it's pretty much always open. When I viewed this apartment the first time, it was during the day, so I thought there were a lot of spaces because people were at work, but that's not true. I find that there are always enough spaces available Cons: Of course there have to be some cons -if you do get an apartment close to the road, there is going to be traffic noise -it IS heated all by electric, so bills will be higher than if it were gas -the closet in the hallway could be bigger Overall I would definitely recommend these town homes January 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5?by sandy59 Very Pleased! I am very impressed with the team running Foxbrook as well as the value. Full sized appliances (including washer and dryer), wooded setting, pet friendly --- I feel fortunate that I will be moving in. April 4, 2013

HARRISONBURG, Va. (AP) -- Michael Birdsong threw for 262 yards and two touchdowns as James Madison held on for a 38-31 win over Richmond on Saturday.
Leading 7-6 at halftime, JMU (5-2, 2-1 Colonial) broke the game open in the third quarter with three touchdowns, beginning with a 100-yard kickoff return by Dejor Simmons. A 9-yard touchdown run by Quinton Hunter and a 16-yard touchdown pass from Birdsong to Deane Cheatham then extended the Dukes' lead to 28-9. Birdsong added a 39-yard touchdown pass in the fourth to put JMU up 38-16.
Richmond (2-4, 0-2) rallied with touchdowns on its next two possessions, scoring on a 15-yard run by Jacobi Green and a 7-yard pass from Michael Strauss to Ben Edwards. The Spiders attempted an onside kick after cutting the lead to 38-31 on a field goal with 1:32 left, but JMU recovered. Strauss threw for 423 yards and two touchdowns.

Okay Lurker is pretty easy except for one small point which always seems to catch people out. Spout!
So this is a guide on how to avoid it.
The spout will always start at the tank and then move either clockwise or anti-clockwise around the circle and then end up at the tank again. So stay in the water if you are jumping in and are tanking lurker otherwise it will just come around and smack you again.
Make sure to be right under the water, these guys have it right:
Because if you get hit then you will just be smacked back and back and die, Klor the other night completely forgot to get in the water and this is what happened:
As an added reminder, if someone does get smacked by Spout its not neccesarily a wipe so you shouldnt just stand around and watch the guy get shot back, GET IN THE WATER:
I hope this helps you to avoid spout in any future encouters you have with lurker.

The antenna current undoubtedly includes standing waves, measuring reflected power as well as forward power.
Probably they'd tune the antenna match to minimize it.
These meter readings and math are not adding up. 1500V at 700ma is 1050 watts plate input, and at the typical efficiency of these early transmitters you'd be lucky to get half of that into the antenna so there's no way you can have an output of 1250 watts.
Furthermore, transmitters of this vintage used a balance ladder-line output not the 50-ohm coaxial output of modern transmitters. So the output impedance would be around 200-400 ohms which would make the antenna current even lower. My guess is there's a decimal in front of the numbers on the antenna meter that are just too blurred to see.
I suspect in those days before pi-output circuits the actual impedance varied so much with plate tuning that the output meter was nothing more than a relative indicator anyway.
how about now? louder?
Always remember to "dip the plate" and "peak the grid." Otherwise, you're going to burn up the transmitter. That's from an old codger that learned electronics a long time before computers.
With antenna current at 5 amps, and a typical transmission line/feed impedance of 50 ohms, that's 1250 watts output.
This transmitter was built like a tank. Probably Western Electric. They knew that time equals money in the broadcast field, and made the unit easy to adjust, right down to providing a telephone built into it for the technician to talk with an engineer while turning the knobs.

[Music playing]
Hi! This is Rich Harrington, and welcome to another edition of Photoshop for video. Today, we are going to look at a staple in broadcast design and that is the lower third. In this first part, we are going to talk about designing the bar and really had to work with some texture so it could move beyond those clunky days of just using gradients. Let us see how.
One thing that I like to do when working in my Photoshop document is to put a photo back there for reference. So, I will often put a piece of video or a clip or a still frame or even just a head shot back there. So, I have something to design within relationship to what we are actually working on.
Now, the first thing we are going to need for our lower third here is going to be some sort of bar and texture. Let us go ahead and make one of this from scratch.
I want to make a new layer and press Shift+Del to call the fill dialogue box. And we will fill that with the default of 50% gray. Now, 50% gray is a natural values. This is really easy to run filters on it and we will see a lot of details pop up. So, let go ahead and generate a texture.
There is lot of textures you can make right inside the Photoshop and you can also combined third party filters. So for example, I can use something here like Flaming Pear. Let us go ahead and try this vibrant patterns one that they have. And this will come up and generate new patterns.
Now, flaming pear makes a lot of great filters and what I really like about their filters is that it fully functional for 30 days. So, if you visit our website, you are actually download the filter and tried out and put to it to work and see how it does for you.
Now, cool thing here is that we can actually roll the die. So if we click the die here, it will generate different patterns with each click. And you see that you have a lot of variety. So, there is a lot of fun things you could do here with playing and then of course, you can actually make your own adjustments here with the mixers sliders as you see fit to create different looks.
You can also go ahead and play with the hues if you want to colorize that or mix the colors over all and get some interesting looks.
When you are satisfied, you just click Okay and it will actually apply that texture for you. So, that works out pretty well.
Now to finish this off a little bit, I am going to soften that because I do not want too much texture in my texture. Remember, it is a background so that cannot be destructing.
You can throw this away because I am not going to use that layer, and I have got this and let us just name that bar Texture, and we run a filter here. Filter blur, motion blur, and we will go ahead and push that left and right a little bit to just get a much softer pattern. And that works out really well.
Now, the next thing we are going to do is shortened this so the bar is not quite so tall. We could do this with free transform or we could just delete away the part that we do not want. I am going to grab mark key tool and just lasso around top part bar here that we are not going to use, and we could then press delete.
Now, if you are not seeing it, you want to make sure you have some safe title guards in there. If you make a new default document with the video pre set, it is going to put him in automatically and those are usual show up as guides, but if you do not have them, you can actually take advantage of one of the actions in the video set.
Go to your actions panel, and load up the video action. If they are not available, just click the sub menu and they will be at the bottom there. And within that set, you will actually have one that says Title Safe Overlay, you can cut play and let it run. And then they will actually give you a guide.
So, that works out pretty well. If you want too here, if the text is too big, you could change that pretty simply. We just trash that real quick, grab the text tool, and we will just pick a different font, there you go. And let us run that action again.
And it goes ahead and adds a title safe guide for us there labeling things.
So remember, your text is going to fall inside of title safe so make sure you enough bar there to hold the text.
Next, we are going to ahead and combined this with a little bit of color. Now, because there are so many reds in this here, we are going to ahead and actually change that color. Let us just put a solid color layer above that.
And I can pick any color I want, I can even sample from the background if I needed too, but that is pretty good there. And we will set that to color mode. And it will stylalize the bar.
Now, you noticed it is affecting more than the bar. That is easy to fix. Simply choose layer, create clipping mask. Notice that the layer indents itself and it only applies to the opaque layers down below.
We are going to use the same technique no when we introduce some texture additionally to the bar.
I am going to put a photo of climbing rope of the bar, and which is the same thing, layer, create clipping mask, and it indents.
I have got this laid on top and we got to need to do now is blend it. So, the easiest way to do that is to pick the move tool and then use the keyboard shortcut of Shift+ to cycle through bonding modes.
There is the layer, grab to move toil, and do Shift+ and you will see that I could step through blending modes and those textures are now mixing together into a new look for the bar. And I like that results, setting it to overlay mode, and we will drop the intensity just a little by taking opacity down to about 60%.
So, you see there we have generated our own custom texture and works very well.
To make things easier, we are going to go ahead and group the bar into a single layer. To do that, select all the layers. So, well just simply shift click and then command or Ctrl+G and you will see that it gets put into a single group.
We can name that bar and the advantage of this is that we can now apply a gradient mask to get some ramped opacity into that bar. I simply click on the mask button here, and I can grab the gradient tool. And what I will do is at white to black gradient. Click and drag and you will see that we get a nice ramping effect.
Now, the case of this bar, it is translucent on the left and opaque on the right. I want to change that. So easy enough, we could just select the mask and press command I, and it inverts.
If you need too, you can then press command L for levels and continue to play with the mask itself putting more or less transparency into the bar by adjusting it. And this works out very nicely to create a bar with ramp partial transparency.
At this point, let us finished it off with some quick text and then week, we will pick this back up and further stylized it by adding a logo using some layers styles as well.
I have got some text down here. Let us go ahead and just turn this layers on, and you will see that we are playing with it. So, I have got a few things to move around. Let us go ahead and position the text here for describing the descent into the Canyon, and we will mudge that down to the bottom.
If I want, we can move that to a single line and just get rid of the spacing to make that a little bit easier to see.
Expanding the size of the text block will change where the text wraps. There we go. Let us mudge that down. And then we will grab the top line here. And I am purposefully having this break the top of the lower third bar.
Many inexperience designers feel like to text can only go in the bar. But you can go ahead and break that line. It is something different to try with your designs. And I am not going to use this voice off because we are actually put this over the person while we see them on camera.
So, we got a good start there but we definitely want to refine this a bit.
Be sure to join us next week where we are going to take this lower third and go a little deeper with it to finalize our design.
For Photoshop for Video, I am Rich Harrington.
I invite you to check out our resource blog at photoshopforvideo.com and be sure to post a comment there because we will be giving away a copy of the Photoshop for video book later this month.
Thanks again.

Autumn's Here Lyrics - Hawksley Workman
Review The Song (1)
You can tell by the wind
By fresh cut wood
All stacked to dry
That autumn's here
And it makes you sad
About the crumby
Summer we had
With pine trees creeking
The raven's screeching
Just like the story my grandma tells
About when a bird
Hits your window
And someone you know
Is about to die
Autumn's here, autumn's here
It's ok if you want to cry
'cause autumn's here, autumn's here, autumn's here
So find a sweater
And you'll be better
Until the kindling is tinder dry
We can be quiet
As we walk down
To see the graveyard
Where they are now
I wonder how
They brought their piano
To holdene hill
From old berlin
Be hard to keep it
It well in tune
With winters like the one
That's coming soon
Cause auntumn's here, autumn's here
It's time to cry now
That autumn's here,autumn's here, autumn's
It's ok if you want to cry
Because autumn's here
I think that ghosts like
The cooler weather
When leaves turn colour
They get together
And walk along ways
These old back roads
Where no one lives and
And no one goes
With all their hopes set
On the railway
That never came and
that no one stayed
I guess that autumn
Gets you remembering
And the smallest things
Just make you cry.
Autumn's here, autumn's here, autumn's here that autumn's here
Autumn's here, it's time to cry
Cause autumn's here ooooooo
Autumn's here, autumn's here
It's ok now, cause autumn's heeeere
woooooo wooooo

County Executive Laura Neuman Honors Local Educators in Recognition of National Teacher Appreciation Week
Annapolis, Maryland (May 7, 2014) — In observance of National Teacher Appreciation Week, May 5-9, Anne Arundel County Executive Laura Neuman is highlighting her gratitude for the county's public and private educators this week.
"Our school system is a model for the entire state, and that is largely because of the relentless effort and dedication our teachers put forth on a daily basis," said County Executive Neuman. "I would like to thank each and every teacher in Anne Arundel County for the invaluable investment they are making in our next generation of community leaders, our children."
From preschool instructors to high school teachers, all 5,600 county educators play integral roles in the development and success of county students, and each of them is worthy of recognition for the unparalleled work they do. Last month, Broadneck High School social studies teacher Christina Houstian was honored as Anne Arundel County's 2014 Teacher of the Year, and will represent the county this fall when the Maryland Teacher of the Year is selected.
"I believe our educators' hard work should be rewarded not just one week out of the year, but year-round, and have included in my Fiscal Year 2015 budget proposal a 3 percent pay increase for teachers over what was funded in Fiscal Year 2014," said County Executive Neuman. "Our teachers are our school system's greatest asset, and an investment in them is an investment in our children."

Parent involvement
I have 2 boys currently attending Monsignor Donovan, they love it there and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. The block schedule is fantastic, set up more like a college than an elementary school. This allows the middle of the day flex period to be very productive for clubs, and any extra help needed from teachers. It also allows students an extra class period a year for areas they are interested in. The laptop each student receives as a freshman is great because so many of their books are available electronically. The faculty and clerical staff encourage inclusion for all children, and I see the evidence of this. My boys say it is "cool" to be smart here, there is no dumbing down of the student body by the stereotypical "dumb jock" syndrome. So far, it has been an extremely positive experience for our entire family. I encourage students who are interested to visit for the day. I have 2 issues.. Both my sons participate in sports year round and there is not a second bus for after school activities (sadly)...the price you pay for catholic school education. I do not like the new winter uniform. Small things compared to the value of their education.
Having attended public school first, private school was the better. It is true 'You get what you pay for.' Those that go there & bad mouth Mon Don are those who don't give their best- they are not going to hand you a diploma- 'you get what you give.' I think Mon Don is a great school & as I agree for those that stay on the straight path you will leave with great hopes for your future. As in any place you go, work/school, there will always be cliques, drugs & alcohol, & mean people you just have to decide what path you choose. All in all, academically Mon Don is great & starting out as a scared freshman not sure what to expect, the school staff & faculty were very welcoming! Thank you Mon Don!
Mondon is a high school it fits the definition perfectly. There are stereotypes everywhere, cliques, yet if you are nice and you don't start drama everyone is nice to you. In the other reviews you will read that the teachers are so great, yea they are, but what I found in freshmen year the honor teachers are like hardcore with learning and will not give out ease to any stress. Now with honors and CP classes there really is no difference, it's just in CP the teachers take more time to help you, theres way less homework, and the classes run smoother and what i have to say 'fun'. The honors classes are a little more fast pace they expect you to do more work then they have to teach and your a little more independent. But you're learning the same material as CP.
My son graduated Monsignor Donovan HS and my daughter is a junior there. The students are well mannered and focused on their future goals. The staff is always available for the children and parents 24/7.
2.7 actually. I agree with people who say that the whole student atmosphere is very cliquey and there are a lot of stereotypes. It's a classic example of how a school can be filled with mean, fake people. There are only like 5 guidance counselors that have to take care of like 1000+ students. But the absolutely, most best thing about Mon Don is the teachers, hands down.
I'm a student at Monsignor Donovan and I am forced to admit that this year I have found the experience to be unsatisfactory. Not only do some of the Honors courses more aptly reflect the AP courses but there are a few teachers that cause the students undue stress. I personally have 2 of them this term. Frankly at this point I am praying that i just pass these two classes. P.S- I am an A-B student who maintains 5 out of 8 honors courses (excepting gym, band, and alg. 2)
Mon Don is an excellent school! I completely agree that it provides more of an education than just scholarly. All of the teachers are amazing and while some may say that they are 'green' because they are getting paid less, I found that the teachers care far more about their students than those in public schools. They are willing to be paid less because they care about the school and the students, not because they are unqualified. While drinking, etc does happen, I would say it happens far less than public schools and even other Catholic schools. Mon Don was just such a great community of students and teachers and I am so glad that I went to school there.
I must disagree also with all the negative reviews. Personally, I think some of these people with the negative reviews never attended the school and are here just to bash it. My experience with MonDon was great. Coming from MonDon, I felt as though was much more prepared for college than most people of my grade. Yeah there was drinking but I'd like to know what high school doesn't have the same problem and with regards to the laptops, yeah they were probably a waste of money but it added to the experience. Kairos was an amazing experience, and the friends I made from the school will be with me forever, so whoever is here to bash MonDon, you really need something better to do with yourselves. MonDonAlumni2007
I am a senior at MonDon, so I totally disagree with all of the negative reviews. The negative reviews are so far from the truth. I love MonDon! the teachers are great, the administration is great as well, and the guidance department is really helpful. I honestly don't see how anyone can dislike MonDon.
I'm a freshman and I think Mon Don is awesome. It's soo easy to make friends and everyone is really down-to-earth. Flex is amazing and I love the fact that we get to go to our clubs during school. The teachers are great so far, the clubs are fun, the sports teams keep winning everything, there's tons of charity work, lots of technology (laptops!), the quad is a great place to hang out, and everyone really seems to care about school. And another thing that's school is that all grades get to interact. You're not limited to making friends in your own grade. Everyone's friendly and welcoming. You should go to Mon Don if you can!!
I would take up an entire page it i wrote how much i hate this school. Mondon is different on so many different levels but it is not always a good thing. It is full if judgemental people, no body gives anyone a chance, everyone knows everyone elses business, and the student are cruel. I have never met more student that are fake in my whole entire life before. Mondon is all about 'technology'...Ha! yeah right. We neve ruse our computers and when we do we're told to put them away in 10 minutes. Half of the teachers don't even use their sylbus. I can go on and on about this school but it will be pointless because mondon has such great reveiws....Not.
MonDon prepared me academically as well as spiritually. School was a joy to attend, teachers cared about students. The community service requirement, something I resisted at first, was a great experience. The retreats students participate in all four years were very beneficial. The Kairos retreat was probably four of the best days of my life. It is something very few people have an opportunity to do, to sit and reflect about yourself for four days away from it all, if you have the opportunity take it. I think MonDon offers something that is often lacking in today s schools, building a student s character. Yes, the guidance department had issues (nothing is perfect) and yes there was drug use by some students (but find me a high school where there is not.) Like anything else it s what you put into it but if you do MonDon has a lot to offer back. MonDonAlumni2004
this is a great school. I love the teachers and admistration. its welcoming and fun to be at. the school day it great and I find that it goes a lot quicker. I will not disagree about what the last reviewer said. there is a good amount of drugs and alcohol, parties, and dramas. it is a little catty, but the students who stay focused and make friends with the right people will have the most amazing four years of their life. I'd recommend this school to anyone.
I am a student at Monsignor Donovan High school. I personally greatly dislike the school. I find many of the teachers under qualified. The guidance councelers arent too helpful either! The school in a whole is far too clicky. Also for a 'catholic school' there is a large amount of drugs and alcohol in the school. i personally dont feel its a safe enviroment.. many of my fellow students are cruel individuals who are souly out there to make your high school years terrible. It is not a very welcoming school. Like i previously stated the teachers for the most part are not good. If your looking into Monsignor Donovan think twice.. and listen to your children if they want to leave. Its all true!
Excellent quality in academic programs, extremely challenging. Students encouraged to advance. Music, art, sports, clubs available in several areas.
Previous reviewer must have an ax to grind. Why would anyone pay $12,000 if they were so dissatisfied? Learning disabled children are placed with Academic Support personnel, not guidance counselors. Mr. Palguta, in particular, is the dominent strength of the Guidance Dept. and makes himself available to all students. He is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to college counseling. It will be a major loss to the school when this gentleman retires. I put 3 children through this school with far more pros than cons. MonDon is a very caring community and the administration is superb. Mrs. D'Andrea, the Assistant Principal, heads Admissions and is, without a doubt, the glue that holds this wonderful school together. She is absolutely wonderful to deal with.
I have 2 children that attended Monsignor Donovan. One who was an honors student who has already graduated and one who is learning disabled. The strongest attribute of the school is their teachers. The weekest is the guidance staff and administration.
I believe that Monsignor Donovan offers its students a total education, not just academics. The students are prepared to enter the world as well rounded adults. The teachers are caring and very willing to spend time with their students. The school has much to offer the students in regards to both academics and extracurricular activities.
Monsignor Donovan High School is the best school for children, they care and prepare the boys and girls for the future. I haave one son who graduated in 2000, and another son now in his senior year. Teachers really care about their students, and discipline is continued in school as is at home.
Awful guidance center. Teachers tend to be young, green, and severely underpaid. Many of the quality teachers have left to other schools in the area.

This is the way my mother made a very tasty salad for us, mostly in the summertime. We didn't have the English cucumbers that are available now but use them if you wish. The chives grew in our Chicago suburb garden and volunteered every year -- right next to the old fashioned green rhubarb. The tomatoes came from our "Victory Garden" -- anyone remember those? What memories this salad evokes!

Noah's Ark Recommendations
Going to Noah's Ark (Teaneck) this week.
Do they do anything really well?
I've never been to Teaneck. But the Lower East Side Noah's does best deep-fried sweet potatoes to die for. The serve them with wonderful burgers.
How are their knishes? They use to offer a bunch of different ones that were homemade, like pastrami etc. Never had them, but wanted to try them. Anyone ever have them?
My recommendation is to avoid anything they have cooked. Try some deli. As vallevin mentioned, some people praise their burgers. My experience involved a unpleasently burned patty that was raw inside, i.e., it was cooked while frozen and too thick to ever cook through.
re: UWSFoodie
That does sound crazy.
Steer clear of the burgers. They are pretty awful. People rave about them, but I really don't get it. I guess Jews have just never had a really good burger.
The sweet potato fries are good.
The last time I was there, someone in our group ordered a very disappointing burger. I now suspect that it is the cook that varies, not the meat. Sometimes you will have a cook who will take a half-frozen burger and char that baby till it's dry as dust. A couple of months later, you get a juicy-good burger. The deli, on the other hand, is reliably good.
re: AdinaA
I have never eaten at the teaneck location. But I eat at Noah's Ark on Grand st at least a few times a month, and the burgers are amazing. Makes sense if the issue has been the cook. I guess the cook at the Grand st location is more consistent. I order the burgers fairly regularly, especially the brunch all day burger, which has a sunny side up egg on top and just rocks, imo. So sorry to those of you near Teaneck...but if you are in NYC come down to Grand st!
re: AdinaA
For all of those that have given the burgers negative reviews, can you please clarify if you were at the Teaneck, or NYC location? I've only eaten at the Teaneck location, and although I haven't been there for quite a while, I've always been very happy with their burgers in the past.
I used Noah's Ark to ship food to a summer cottage for a large family and I cannot say enough good things about the food. We had both balsamic and plain grilled chicken. Both excellent, a classic stuffed cabbage. And deli: extra lean corned beef an pastrami, roast beef, all excellent and perhaps the best smoked turkey I've tasted. All were shopped vacuum packed in small portions. We also had grilled vegetables that were a surprise because they were not oily, but fresh and crisp, not limp and greasy as caterer's veggies often are. Excellent. And the sweet noodle, spinach and potato kugels were all top-notch. Their advice on what would keep best was on point. their shipping arrangements as excellent as the food.
re: AdinaA
I'll second that. We used them to ship food to our hotel in Maui when we were there a few years ago. I was a little worried about eating frozen/rewarmed meals but everything tasted fantastic. They were great to deal with as well.
