Every night, comedy clubs throughout the five boroughs host famous, soon-to-be-famous and hilarious-but-never-will-be-famous comedians performing stand-up, sketch and improv comedy. For a rundown of some upcoming headline sets—including New York Comedy Festival shows—along with popular recurring shows and classes, see below.
Upcoming Shows
Recurring Shows
Amy Schumer. Courtesy, New York Comedy Festival
Amy Schumer
November 7 and 28, Carnegie Hall and St. George Theatre
There are tons of positive things to say about Amy Schumer, who is at the center of one of the funniest sketch-comedy programs on television, but we'll just put all of our eggs in one basket and recommend that you watch her spot-on Aaron Sorkin parody. The November 7 show is part of the New York Comedy Festival. For tickets, visit carnegiehall.org and ticketmaster.com.
Norm MacDonald
December 4–7, Carolines on Broadway
One of the all-time-great Saturday Night Live Weekend Update anchors brings his biting wit to the stage. For tickets, visit carolines.com.
Here's Hoover!
December 5–21, Abrons Arts Center
Alex Timbers and Michael Friedman, the team behind Broadway musical Bloody Andrew Jackson, take on another former president in this political satire—wherein Herbert Hoover returns as the host of a comeback special in the vein of Elvis' 1968 live show. For tickets, visit ovationtix.com.
Dan Finnerty and the Dan Band
December 10, Joe's Pub
Expect some suggestive holiday cheer from the man who brought you the inappropriate covers in the Old School and Hangover wedding scenes. For tickets, visit publictheater.org.
Russell Peters
December 11, Madison Square Garden
Perhaps best known to America's TV viewers as a judge on Last Comic Standing, Russell Peters is the rare comedian popular enough to headline an arena. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
Kevin Nealon
December 11–13, Carolines on Broadway
Saturday Night Live star Kevin Nealon, best known for hosting Weekend Update and portraying characters like Mr. Subliminal, also performs stand-up. For tickets, visit carolines.com.
Michael Che
January 8–10, Carolines on Broadway
New Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" co-anchor Michael Che has brought his unflinchingly honest, smart perspective to the segment. Before landing the big gig, he spent years honing his craft in New York City's comedy clubs, so this is a chance to see why he got the job. For tickets, visit carolines.com.
John Oliver
January 30, The Beacon Theatre
The host of Last Week Tonight, which plays 60 Minutes to The Daily Show's CBS Evening News, performs live for your amusement and edification. For tickets, visit ticketmaster.com.
If You Build It
Sundays, 8:30pm; UCB East
This stand-up show is massively cheap ($5, with no drink minimum), so it's no wonder it usually sells out. Hosted by local comic Kara Klenk, its lineups have included boldface names like Janeane Garofalo, Colin Quinn and Sarah Silverman alongside a worthy roster of up-and-coming comedians.
Sundays, 7:30 and 9:30pm; Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre
Perhaps the most famous of all NYC improv comedy performances, this show often draws big names like Amy Poehler, Horatio Sanz and others from Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock and The Colbert Report. The 7:30pm performance will set you back $10. If you don't mind waiting in a long line and arriving very early, the 9:30pm show is absolutely free (tickets are distributed at 8:15pm).
Comedy Night with Hannibal Buress
Sundays, 9pm; Knitting Factory
The cerebral Hannibal Buress—who's written for Saturday Night Live and made memorable appearances on 30 Rock—hosts this free weekly stand-up showcase in Williamsburg. Special guests stop by every week, and many of them are famous. Don't bring the kids, though—it's 21-plus.
Comedy at Beauty Bar
Sundays, Beauty Bar
This stand-up comedy showcase may not have a reputation for bringing in huge stars, but it's a good, low-pressure (read: free) option if you're in the neighborhood and looking to check out some new comics. For more info, visit thebeautybar.com.
Free Stand-up Comedy
Every Sunday; alternating Tuesdays; Three of Cups
A lounge attached to East Village restaurant Three of Cups showcases up-and-coming comics. There are shows every Sunday and every other Tuesday. While casual fans may not recognize the performers, the price is right; there's no cover and no drink minimum. Plus, you never know when you'll run into the next Rory Scovel. For more info, visit threeofcupsnyc.com.
Mondays, The Stand
This (free!) weekly show already has some impressive talent lined up: December performers include Sean Patton, Judah Friedlander and Dave Hill. For more info, visit thestandnyc.com.
Mondays, 11pm; Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre
This free stand-up showcase is hosted by Leo Allen (who's written for Saturday Night Live) and has featured sets from the likes of David Cross and Janeane Garofalo.
Mondays and Thursdays, Je'Bon Sushi
Experience the East Village's comedic Japanese game show that's full of entertaining consequences for the losers. It's guaranteed to be a one-of-a-kind outing. For more info, visit faceoffunlimited.com.
Tuesdays (starting September 16), UCB East
From the looks of its first lineup, which includes Michael Che (The Daily Show correspondent and Saturday Night Live writer) alongside Dan Soder and Mike Vecchione, this weekly free show could be one to keep an eye on. To make reservations, visit ucbtheatre.com.
Super Free Wednesdays
Wednesdays, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11pm; The PIT
Every Wednesday night, the improv comedy shows at The PIT are free to attend. It's a pretty attractive proposition for broke comedy fans.
Friday Night Sh*w
Fridays, Magnet Theater
Magnet Theater improvisers turn anonymous confessions from audience members into comedy sketches at this helpfully titled performance, which does, indeed, take place on Friday evenings. For more info, visit magnettheater.com.
Death By Roo Roo
Saturdays, 9pm; Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre
The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater is famous for developing sharp in-house improv teams, and this is one of the most popular. The 9pm Saturday show frequently sells out.
Carolines Stand-up
Every night, Carolines on Broadway
Unlike Comedy Cellar—which offers more of a comedy sampler smorgasbord—most of the marquee shows here focus on one performer, and you can choose whom you'd like to see far in advance. For a full slate of upcoming comedians, visit carolines.com.
Comedy Cellar Stand-up
Every night, Comedy Cellar
Every night of the week, Comedy Cellar hosts shows from a rotating cast of stand-up comedians, many of them well known. The venue is a favorite of Dave Attell, and such headliners as Dave Chappelle and Jerry Seinfeld have been known to drop by from time to time. For up-to-date lineups and showtimes, visit comedycellar.com.
Comic Strip Live Stand-up
Every night, Comic Strip Live
This is another place that hosts big-name acts seven nights a week. Comedians who have graced the Upper East Side venue's stage include Robin Williams, Jerry Seinfeld, Drew Carey, Chris Rock and Ellen DeGeneres. For a complete comedy calendar, visit comicstriplive.com.
Gotham Comedy Club Stand-up
Every night, Gotham Comedy Club
Gotham hosts stand-up shows every night of the week. The bigger names perform headline shows mostly on Friday and Saturday nights. Kids and parents, take note: the venue's occasional "Kids 'n' Comedy" show stars teenage graduates of the venue's classes, and the material is appropriate for ages 9 and up. For the full schedule of funny, visit gothamcomedyclub.com.
Laughing Devil Stand-up
Every night, Laughing Devil
This recently opened Long Island City club puts on live shows nightly, often featuring names you may know from television. For more info, visit laughingdevil.com.
The Stand Stand-up
Every night, The Stand
Every night, comedians—some of whom you may recognize from TV—perform at this Gramercy club. For the upcoming schedule, visit thestandnyc.com.
No one can teach you how to be funny, but the experienced instructors at NYC's comedy grounds can help you harness and shape the hilarity buried deep within. Here are links for those who'd like to hone their comedy skills (options include kids' classes—check the official websites and call the venues for details):
Carolines on Broadway
Gotham Comedy Club

Welcome to the UTB Time & Effort Web site.
Effort reporting is a process mandated by the federal government to verify that direct labor charges to, or cost shared on, sponsored projects are accurate, timely, and reflect the actual level of work performed.
This site provides both general information on effort concepts as well as specific information on effort reporting and certification procedures. Please use the sidebar on the left-hand side to navigate the different sections of this website.
In addition to the reference guides, FAQs, and additional resources located within this website, if you have questions about the effort certification process, or about effort commitments on sponsored projects, or suggestions for additional information you would like to see on this website, please contact the Office of Sponsored Programs at (956) 882-7849 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Delay in Time and Effort Certification
As you know, last fiscal year UTB changed its Time & Effort
certification periods to a semester basis. However, due to the upgrade
implementation of the Effort Certification and Reporting Technology (ECRT)
system, certification for this period will be delayed. We anticipate the
certification period to be Oct. 27 to Nov. 7; an email with the exact
dates as to when the period opens will be sent at a later date.

Big Sam's Funky Nation
September 09, 2010
8PM Show: $16
Big Sam's Funky Nation has long since established their presence on the forefront of the New Orleans music scene. Trombone powerhouse and band leader "Big Sam" Williams, formerly of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, has been celebrated as "the top man on the slide trombone in the birthplace of jazz" by the San Francisco Chronicle and the band has been touted for consistently "bringing a straight raw party" by Jambase. 2010 has already been a busy year for The Nation, beginning with an East Coast tour, ten days touring Greece, a recurring role in the new HBO original series "Treme", and various appearances during South By Southwest. BSFN shows no signs of slowing down; on the horizon is a busy touring schedule including festivals such as the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Bonnaroo Arts & Music Festival, Doheney Blues Festival and Gathering of the Vibes, just to brush the surface. The momentum BSFN has already accumulated will only continue to grow with the release of their fourth and most prolific album to date, King Of The Party. Be on the lookout for BSFN's masterful blend of a rock, with an improv-style associated with jazz and a horn-heavy front section that's the hallmark of funk. The energy level is always high voltage when BSFN takes the stage.

|The Avolo Plein Air experience is much more than just a guided sea kayaking excursion or a course. It's first and foremost a shared adventure for outdoor enthusiasts and of course, undiluted pleasure! Clients who've never touched a paddle and people with sea kayaking experience will appreciate this type of activity in Pointe-Saint-Pierre waters… an exotic setting off the beaten path. Our home base, unique for its view of renowned Indian Head Rock, is located midway between Gaspé and Percé.
At Pointe-Saint-Pierre, the shoreline is unlike anywhere else in the Gaspé; it's a fine place to get away from it all. Our breathtaking setting offers outstanding views of Percé and Forillon and the chance to explore a magnificent island and who knows, maybe even an opportunity to paddle through a marine cave or two.
In an area reputed for its biodiversity, there's a good chance you'll see some seals and a host of seabirds… if you're really lucky you might even spot a whale. You'll learn about all these elements through the interpretation capsules your guide will share with you. As you paddle along the coast, your guide will also teach you some sea kayaking techniques and tell you a bit about the history of kayaking. It goes without saying that we've invested in quality gear so we can offer you excursions that are not only pleasant, but also safe and comfortable regardless of weather conditions.

Bosque Prep School puts self on lockdown
Bosque Prep School was on lock down Monday. The self-imposed lockdown is no longer in effect.
Police said open space officers found a couple of individuals that were 18 and 19 years of age near the Bosque. One had a BB gun partially sticking out of his backpack.
Officers believe this is what witness saw, and what spurred the self-imposed lock down.
Albuquerque police did not place the school on lockdown.
BB guns and other hunting weapons and mechanisms are not allowed in the Bosque, so the weapon will be tagged into evidence. The man will be summoned to court for misdemeanor charges.

|This is a shot of almost the whole plot. The yarrow in the right front are WS. they finished up much sooner than normal, maybe due to the 95+ heat wave we had.
middle right are WS salvia, haven't bloomed yet.
that red in the middle (not WS) is a rudbeckia, which I love! didn't know its color til it bloomed.
in the back left are the WS zinnias - very happy with them. They are from Crossman seeds. Very good germination. Lots of butterflies!
my first time able to post pics--very excited to share with you'all, whose pics I have been enjoying!
more will follow. :)

Dancing With the Stars: Using Outside Choreographers?by Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Think all those performances on Dancing with the Stars are arranged by the professional dancers, like Cheryl Burke? Think again, according to a new report.
Spies say that many of the DWTS routines are arranged by outside choreographers, especially when it comes to the "younger, less experienced" professional dancers, like Burke, Kym Johnson, Derek Hough, and his sister Julianne.
The show makes it appear as if the professional partners create all the moves for the celeb contestants - but that's just not the case.
All that rehearsal video can be a little deceptive.
One source says that "Cheryl Burke is the worst" when it comes to arranging her own material on Dancing With the Stars and "relies heavily on outside help."
Dancing With the Stars' Cristian de la Fuente and Cheryl Burke.
There are also reports that one of the professional choreographers - Wendy Johnson - worked on the dance that won Drew Lachey the title.
For the record, Cheryl Burke's rep says that any insinuation that she gets outside help is a blatant lie, adding that Wendy Johnson is actually a very good friend of Cheryl's - she's known her since she was 11 or 12-years-old.
Also, the rep says, Cheryl Burke "spends Tuesday night choreographing her routines in her apartment." In any case, an ABC source says it's not against the rules for the dancers to use outside help, so it doesn't really matter. Just interesting.
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: Dancing With the Stars
this season it's not against the rules, then why deny the statement? it's funny when this show began it was stated that no outside pro. help...such twisted dialogue from all of them...we agree, very interesting but when do they tell non-fiction and fiction..they can't even remember what they say...

We're very serious people here at Blurb, and we disapprove on principle of anything that smacks or irony, satire, or parody. So it was a real blow to all of us when Real Dan Lyons used Blurb to make his best-of Fake Steve Jobs blog book. And then to go and make another book of the whole entire blog! — we were devastated.
So devastated, in fact, that we had to harass Dan about it in person — here's what he had to say for himself:
BB: Who is Dan Lyons when he's not FSJ? Do you have kids? Favorite reading material? Embarrassing habits?
RDL: I'm the proud (but usually exhausted) parent of 3-year-old twins, a boy and a girl. I spend as much time with them as possible. I read a few blogs pretty regularly. I've been a big Andrew Sullivan fan right from the beginning. In the tech space I read Alley Insider, Valleywag and AllThingsD pretty much every day. With music I tend to go on binges where I buy a bunch of stuff by one artist and go crazy on them until I'm sick of it and then I move on. Right now I'm having a Ramones phase.
BB: Ramones, eh? Hmmm … how did a Ramones addict get the idea to create Fake Steve Jobs?
RDL: There were some CEOs who had started blogs, and I thought it would be funny if a CEO did a blog that wasn't full of PR spin — if a CEO turned out to be this obnoxious, abrasive blogger. It seemed to me that the parody would work on two levels. On one level it would be a parody of whichever CEO I chose. But on another level it would be a parody of bloggers in general. So it would be a blog that made fun of blogging. I chose Steve Jobs in part because I'm a big Apple fan but also because I thought he was ripe for parody.
BB: Why do you think the Fake Steve blog took off the way it did?
RDL: I think it took off at first because there are so many Apple fanboys and they spread word of the blog. And the release of the iPhone and all the Apple hype and mania helped too. Originally, I just made up random jokes about what I imagined life inside Apple was like — but then I started following the news and using Fake Steve as a vehicle for covering news. That's when the blog really started taking off, but also I think people enjoyed being able to participate in a comedy blog, send in ideas, make up funny captions or funny photos, and see them published. I really think the audience was the biggest reason for the blog's success. There are a lot of funny, clever people out there.
BB: We're flattered!
RDL: (Grumble.)
BB: Have you sent an autographed copy of your book to the real Steve Jobs?
RDL: No, because I'm pretty sure he wouldn't appreciate it. I'm pretty sure he's got a restraining order that prevents me from contacting him in any way.

Fitness & Exercise
In this article
Plyometrics -- also known as jump training -- is a training technique designed to increase muscular power and explosiveness. Originally developed for Olympic athletes, plyometric training has become a popular workout routine for people of all ages, including children and adolescents.
Plyometric training conditions the body with dynamic resistance exercises that rapidly stretch a muscle (eccentric phase) and then rapidly shorten it (concentric phase). Hopping and jumping exercises, for example, subject the quadriceps to a stretch-shortening cycle that can strengthen these muscles, increase vertical jump, and reduce the force of impact on the joints.
Because plyometric exercises mimic the motions used in sports such as skiing, tennis, football, basketball, volleyball, and boxing, plyometric training often is used to condition professional and amateur adult athletes. But children and adolescents also can benefit from a properly designed and supervised plyometric routine, according to the American College of Sports Medicine.
Plyometric training is associated with many benefits. First popularized in the 1970s by state sports trainers in the former East Germany, it's based on scientific evidence showing that the stretch-shortening cycle prompts the stretch or "myotactic" reflex of muscle and improves the power of muscular contraction.
But plyometric training is also associated with some risks, including an increased risk of injury, especially in participants who don't have adequate strength to begin with. So if you're considering plyometrics, it's important to consult with a sports medicine doctor or therapist who can assess your suitability for a plyometrics training program, and then select a qualified coach or trainer who can gradually introduce you to more difficult exercises.
Examples of Plyometric Exercises
Trainers have developed thousands of plyometric exercises. A simple routine for children and adolescents can start with one to three sets of six to 10 repetitions of one upper-body exercise such as a medicine ball chest pass and one lower body exercise such as a double-leg hop on two nonconsecutive days per week. As muscle strength increases, the routine can be expanded to include multiple medicine ball throws, jumps, and single leg-hops.
Plyometrics routines for qualified adults range from low-intensity double-leg hops to high-intensity drills such as depth jumps, which involve jumping up to and down from boxes or benches as high as 42 inches. High-intensity drills can subject a participant to forces up to seven times his or her body weight.
For sports that require explosive lower-body power, a plyometric routine may start with ground-level jumping on soft surfaces such as padded mats or grass, progress to jumping over cones or foam barriers, and then advance to bounding exercises performed in straight lines and patterns.

Samsung Captivate Android Smartphone Review
Smartphone manufacturers have been using very boastful smartphone names lately—everything from the HTC Droid Incredible to the Motorola Droid X (where X stands for extreme). Certainly with names such as these, expectations will be high. We've already taken a look at both of these phones and deemed them to be worthy competitors in today's smartphone market.
Samsung is following in line with this trend of offering a smartphone with a name that tends to evoke great expectations with its Captivate smartphone. As one of four smartphones in the company's Galaxy S line of devices, the Captivate boasts of a number of compelling features including a 1GHz processor, 4-inch screen, and a price that's a penny under $200...
Samsung Captivate Android Smartphone Review
Rofl; well I will have to see if I can coax the washing the dishes out of it when I get home in October. I bought the Epic version of the Galaxy S yesterday with Sprint. I had actually looked at it last Saturday at BB in Arkansas (and of course have been watching it for a bit online), the BB guy said there pre-order would probably sell out the morning of release. I told him I would be on the road anyway, and he said my best bet all around was to try and find a BB off the beaten path. Well I was picking up a truck for my run out west in Milwaukee Wisconsin the 30th, and left to drive back to Arkansas the 31st at 7:00. On the way at the bottom pf Illinois before Springfield about an hour I stopped to fill up in the middle of farmland and not much else. Right across from the gas station there was a strip mall with a hair cutting establishment annd a Radio Shack. So I went in he had 3 or 4 of the Epic's he'd just gotten in so I bought one as well as a Bluetooth HS, 150 watt power inverter, clear screen covers, and a rubber bumper all around case.
While I am pretty sure the dish washing is a fantasy, it does a lot, and does it all very fast. This is my first smart phone, which I have been waiting to get for quite a good while now.
Look I love what I see so far but being old school I cant find anything that has info on how things work and or how to set things up. The info that came with it help set it up to run and that's about it. where can I go to learn how to use this tech monster. I'm 61 so it could be me but I know a bunch of youngsters who have no clue either. There has to be a geek out there who has put to words or video how all this works. Or I just bought a tool box full of tools I'll never use. like I found (By accident) text by voice, and downloaded something that reads text but cant find it or if its working, I bought a watch with more info on how to set the time then this thing.

The Washington Stealth (1-0) beat the defending champion Rochester Knighthawks (0-1) at home by a score of 13-12 in the 2013 National Lacrosse League regular season opener before 7,203 fans at Comcast Arena in Everett on Saturday night.
"We're back," said Stealth head coach Chris Hall, whose team missed the playoffs last year. "Couldn't ask for a better start."
Washington got off to a good start as Rhys Duch opened the scoring almost two minutes into the game to help the Stealth take a 3-1 lead into the second quarter. Rochester scored three unanswered goals to start the second frame and led 6-4 until Washington answered with two goals in the final two minutes for a 6-6 halftime tie.
10 different players scored in the first two quarters, as Cliff Smith's hat trick for the Stealth made him the only scorer with multiple goals in the first half. Duch recorded six points (3+3) while Smith was named Game MVP after finishing with a game-high and career-high eight points (3+5).
"I had never really found a groove here [before]," said Smith, who scored his first career hat trick in his fourth NLL season. "Last year being hurt and the year before getting traded here at the deadline, I was looking forward to getting a full year in here."
Neither team led by more than two goals at any point of the tightly-contested contest. Rochester led 9-8 after three quarters until Washington's Lewis Ratcliff tied the game at 11-11, his second goal of the night, a few minutes into the fourth quarter. Rookie transition player Mitch McMichael gave the Stealth a 12-11 lead with 5:46 remaining.
Stealth captain Kyle Sorensen took a penalty with 2:55 left in regulation and Johnny Powless cashed in on the power play for Rochester with a highlight-reel behind-the-back goal to tie the game, 12-12. Just 30 seconds later, Stealth forward Athan Iannucci scored on a diving goal with 1:23 remaining to regain the lead.
"Great players do great things," Hall said. "That's why they're here and you see them raise their level of play to make sure we get ourselves back in it."
The Knighthawks had a chance to tie it late, but Stealth goalie Tyler Richards made the stop to preserve the lead and secure the win as Washington played keep-away for the final 10 seconds.
Matt Vinc had 51 saves on 64 shots for the Knighthawks, while Richards made 35 stops on 47 shots for the Stealth. Cody Jamieson (1+4) and Powless (2+3) led the Knighthawks with five points each while Cory Vitarelli scored a hat trick. Casey Powell, one of Rochester's biggest offseason additions, was a last-minute scratch with the flu and newly-acquired teammate Dan Dawson finished with three assists.
The Stealth started four rookies and they did not disappoint in their debuts. Kyle Buchanan posted a four-assist night, McMichael scored an important late goal while Tyler Garrison and Tim Henderson had strong defensive outings.
Although the Stealth struggled last year, Knighthawks head coach Mike Hasen was not surprised by Washington's performance.
"They played a dynamite game," Hasen said. "That's what we expected out of them. They're a very good team and have a lot of talent."
The Stealth travel to Colorado next weekend to take on the Mammoth on Saturday, Jan. 12 at 9:00 p.m. ET while the Knighthawks have a bye in Week 2.

"How many times in your life do you get a chance to look at the future?" — That was the introduction made by City Councilman James Sanders Jr. (D-Laurelton) at a community briefing last Wednesday regarding the revitalization of the Springfield Gardens Park area.
It will be the fourth and final phase of the $70 million project, which began in 2004, and aims to not only beautify the park and encourage the presence of wildlife, but to help alleviate the chronic flooding problem that has plagued the area. It is expected to be completed by fall 2014.
The new construction phase will improve drainage infrastructure by upgrading existing sanitary sewers and water mains and adding new storm sewers. The city will dredge Springfield Lake and build three new storm water wetlands — one upstream and two downstream — to provide a barrier for clean runoff before it flows into Jamaica Bay.
There will also be more than 89,000 new plantings, an environmental center, as well as new sidewalks and bike paths. Springfield Boulevard will get a median strip to absorb water runoff, and it will be widened and extended straight to 147th Avenue. The traffic signal that is now one block farther east at 147th and Springfield Lane will be removed and a signal will be installed at 147th and the newly extended boulevard, according to Jawad Assaf, the project manager for the city Economic Development Corp.
Due to its shallow depth, the lake has been collecting a lot of algae, Assaf explained. This project will deepen the depth, alleviating that problem.
"We realized there was a blockage downstream of the lake," Assaf said. "We are going to replace two drainage pipes and the system is going to be one complete functioning ecosystem."
Civic leader Barbara Brown asked where the wildlife would go while the dredging is taking place, noting that she saw two swans on the lake on her way to the meeting.
"All the fish and wildlife that exist in the lake will somehow have to be gathered, put in tanks and protected while the dredging takes place," Assaf said. "It's all very elaborate."
Education advocate William McDonald asked if the park would be shut down while the construction is taking place but Assaf said the work would be done in sections to minimize any inconvenience for residents who visit the area, particularly children.
"The construction areas will always be protected at all times," Assaf added. "There will always be fencing around the construction areas. Everything will be made safe."
The Parks Department will be maintaining the area after its revitalization, Assaf said, even though the project is a collaboration between the city departments of Transportation and Environmental Protection under the supervision of the EDC.
"This type of project is a once in a lifetime project," Sanders said, "and we need to seize this."

An actor-partner interdependence model of attachment processes, conflict resolution, and psychological abuse on relationship quality in a community sample of heterosexual couples.
Date: May 2009
Creator: Bretz, Karen
Description: The purpose of this study is to determine whether adult attachment style, psychological abuse in the marriage, conflict resolution strategies, and gender are associated with relational quality in childless couples in the early years of their marriage. Data were collected from 92 married couples who were recruited from university campuses, churches, and community organizations through e-mails, flyers, newspaper advertisements and mailings. Conceptualizing the interdependence of dyadic data from the actor-partner interdependence model (APIM), multilevel linear modeling (MLM) was used to analyze differences within and between couples. It was hypothesized that higher levels of attachment anxiety or avoidance, psychological abuse, and maladaptive conflict resolution strategies would be associated with lower relational quality. Results indicated that attachment avoidance had stronger associations with relational quality than did attachment anxiety, and that higher levels of attachment avoidance were associated with lower relational quality. Additionally, findings indicated a direct negative relationship between both actor and partner psychological abuse and the actor's relational quality. The discussion section addresses strengths and limitations of the present study as well as directions for future research.

Adolescent Behavior Problems and Interparental Conflict: the Moderating Role of Parent-child Attachment
Date: December 2013
Creator: Daubs, Carlyn
Description: The current study examined the role that parent-child attachment plays in the relationship between marital conflict and the development of behavior problems in adolescents. To evaluate the hypothesis that attachment moderates this relationship, 57 families were recruited via e-mail invitation sent to families that participated in local church youth groups, school organizations, and a treatment program designed for adolescents with behavior problems. One custodial parent and his/her adolescent child completed an online or paper version of a survey consisting of the Achenbach's Behavior Checklists, the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment, and the Children's Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale. Hypotheses were evaluated using Baron and Kenny's (1986) procedures to test moderating effects with multiple regression analyses. Mother attachment demonstrated a significant moderation effect between the intensity of interparental conflict and the parent's report of externalizing behavior problems. Specifically, at low conflict intensity levels, relative to low attachment security, high attachment security was associated with fewer externalizing behavior problems, whereas at high intensities of interparental conflict high attachment security was associated with more externalizing behavior problems.

Adult attachment and posttraumatic growth in sexual assault survivors.
Date: August 2008
Creator: Gwynn, Stacy Roddy
Description: Posttraumatic growth, defined as positive psychological changes in the aftermath of adversity and suffering, is a relatively recent focus in psychological research. The addition of this concept to the literature has provided a new, more resiliency-based framework through which to view survivors of various forms of trauma. Despite estimates that over half of all sexual assaults are not reported to the authorities, current crime statistics indicate that 1 in 4 women are sexually assaulted in their lifetime (Campbell & Wasco, 2005). Given the large percentage of the population that is impacted by sexual assault, it is essential that professionals better understand the factors that influence the successful healing and growth that can occur post-trauma. The purpose of this study was to further expand the literature on posttraumatic growth in sexual assault survivors by considering this phenomenon through the lens of attachment theory. Specifically, this study tested a proposed model of the inter-relationships among subjective and objective perceptions of threat during the sexual assault, adult romantic attachment, and posttraumatic growth. It was hypothesized that adult romantic attachment and parent-child attachment would mediate the relationship between subjective, or perceived threat, defined as the victim's perception of life threat, and objective threat, defined ...

Adult Attachment Patterns, Mental Representation of Self, and Faith: Mediators of Childhood Trauma and Affect-Behavior Regulations in Adulthood
Date: December 2010
Creator: Han, GiBaeg
Description: The purpose of this study was to investigate psychological mechanism by which four intra- and inter-personal characteristics of an individual (anxious and avoidant adult attachment patterns, images of self, and religious faith) mediate the relationship between childhood trauma and each of three affect-behavior regulation problems in adulthood (symptoms of depression, disordered eating behaviors, and substance abuse). A total of 401 college student participants completed a packet of 18 surveys including 10 surveys used in the present study. Structural equation modeling was used to test each of three hypothesized structural models (Depression, Eating Disturbances, and Substance Abuse). A series of multi-group analyses conducted to test if each of three hypothesized models is invariant across gender indicated no significant difference between females and males. Thus, the data were combined across gender to test for mediated effects in each of three hypothesized models. The results indicated: (a) for the hypothesized model for depression, anxious attachment patterns, avoidant attachment patterns, and negative self-images, but not religious faith, fully mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and symptoms of depression; (b) for the model for eating disturbances, anxious attachment and negative images of self, but not avoidant attachment and religious faith, fully mediated the association between ...

Age and Responses to the Events of September 11, 2001
Date: December 2004
Creator: Holmes, D. Nicole
Description: Following the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, many turned to the field of psychology for greater understanding of the impact of such events and guidance in supporting our citizens. This study sought to gain greater understanding of the differential impact of the September 11th attack on individuals by investigating the influence of age, psychological hardiness, and repression versus sensitization as forms of coping behavior on psychological health. Both an initial cross-sectional sample (172 young adults & 231older adults) and a short-term longitudinal follow-up (39 young adults & 58 older adults) were included in the study. Older age, psychological hardiness and the use of a repressing coping style were found to each individually relate to greater resilience/less dysfunction at both time one and two. For young adults, high hardy repressors faired best, followed by high hardy sensitizers. Low hardy young adults demonstrated similar levels of dysfunction regardless of coping style (repressions/sensitization). For older adults, coping style impacted both high and low hardy individuals equally, with high hardy repressors demonstrating greater functioning. This study attempted to gain greater insight into explanations for these and previous findings of greater resilience among older adults. In explaining the greater resilience ...

Antecedents of the Psychological Adjustment of Children and Grandparent Caregivers in Grandparent-Headed Families
Date: December 2007
Creator: Jooste, Jane Louise
Description: Grandparent-headed families are diverse in nature and represent a rapidly growing family type. While challenges facing grandparent caregivers are well documented, less is known about the well-being of their grandchildren, with many early studies relying on small samples of convenience. This study used an existing large national database, the National Survey of America's Families (NSAF), to compare differences in well-being of both children and grandparent caregivers across the independent variables of family type, ethnicity, gender, and age. Findings suggested better mental health and less parental aggravation for caregivers in traditional two parent intact families as compared to grandparents co-parenting in a multi-generation home, skipped generation grandparents (raising their grandchild with no parent present) or single parents. Skipped generation grandparents in particular reported most caregiver aggravation. Child physical health was reported to be worse by skipped generation grandparent caregivers. Behavior problems were reported to be worse for children in grandparent headed households than those in traditional families, particularly for teenagers raised in skipped generation households by their grandmothers. Specific results, limitations and future directions for research on grandparent-headed households were discussed.

Anticipating Work and Family: Experience, Conflict, and Planning in the Transition to Adulthood
Date: August 2011
Creator: Campbell, Elizabeth L.
Description: The purpose of this study was to examine the development of work and family plans in young adults, and to clarify the long-term stability, prevalence, and consequences of anticipated work-family conflict. The study utilizes Super's model of career development and social cognitive career theory, as well as research on current work-family interface, as a framework for understanding the period of anticipating and planning for multiple role integration that occurs between adolescence and adulthood. A sample of 48 male and 52 female college students assessed two years prior completed self-report questionnaires measuring work, marriage, and parenting experience; anticipated work-family conflict; and multiple-role planning. Results of this study suggest that students desire both a career and a family, and recognize potential challenges of a multiple-role lifestyle. Such recognition of anticipated work-family conflict varies by conflict domains and measurement methods, but remains stable over two years. Results also suggest that anticipated work-family conflict does not mediate the relationship between experience and planning; instead, marriage experience predicts planning directly. Implications for the findings are discussed as are suggestions for directions of new research concerning anticipated work-family conflict and planning for multiple roles.

The athlete leader role: Interaction of gender, sport type, and coaching style.
Date: December 2006
Creator: Wildman, Jonathan C. Jr.
Description: Effective leadership is a concept shown to be important for successful team performance in the fields of business, education, and sport. In sport, the role of the athlete leader has been under-examined and specifically, how coaching behaviors can affect athlete leader behaviors and how various leadership models (e.g., trait, behavioral, situational) relate to the athlete leader role has never been studied. The present study examined how autocratic, democratic, and collaborative coaching styles affect the athlete leader behavior preferences of athletes of different genders and sport types. Three coach scenarios reflecting the three aforementioned coaching styles were created so that athletes could imagine that they were coached by the individual presented in the scenario and then rate what type of athlete leader behaviors that they would prefer given the style of the coach that they read about. Results showed that the coach scenarios failed to have a significant impact; however, significant differences were discovered between men and women and between individual and team sport athletes on variables measuring preferred performance/task, relationship, motivation, and representation behaviors. Data were gathered on the style of athletes' current coach and this variable also produced significant differences for such behaviors as resolving conflict, providing positive reinforcement, ...

Athletic trainers and psychological disorders among athletes: An examination of their abilities to recognize, diagnose and intervene.
Date: December 2006
Creator: Albinson, Courtney Brooks
Description: Utilizing an analogue research design conducted via the Internet, this study assessed athletic trainers' abilities to recognize, diagnose, and intervene with a hypothetical athlete experiencing depression, and examined the impact of their gender, athlete gender, and athlete's presenting problem on their decisions. Athletic trainers' perceived competency in using psychosocial interventions with athletes, history of referring athletes to psychology professionals, and training backgrounds in psychology also were examined. Participants (270 male and 370 female certified athletic trainers) were randomly assigned to one of six conditions (Athlete Gender X Presenting Problem). After reading the appropriate vignette, they completed questions related to the athlete's psychological symptoms and diagnosis, referral recommendations, and use of psychosocial interventions if working with the athlete. The vignettes were identical except for the athlete's gender and problem. Overall, athletic trainers accurately identified the athlete's depressive symptoms/diagnosis and need for psychological referral. They rated the athlete significantly higher in Depressive Symptoms than in Anger/Agitation Symptoms and Compulsive Behavioral Symptoms, and as more likely to be experiencing a depressive disorder compared to an adjustment disorder, anxiety disorder, sleep disorder, or substance abuse disorder. Female athletic trainers provided significantly higher ratings of Depressive Symptoms than males and the injured athlete was rated ...

Attachment Processes, Stress Processes, and Sociocultural Standards in the Development of Eating Disturbances in College Women
Date: December 2006
Creator: Bradford, Jennifer Wolf
Description: Minimal empirical research using longitudinal data to explore integrative models of eating disorder development exists. The purpose of this study was to further explore multidimensional models incorporating parental attachment, history of stress, appraisal/coping processes, internalization of the thin-ideal, negative affect, body image, and eating disordered behavior using prospective, longitudinal data. The models were evaluated using 238 participants who completed an initial series of self-report questionnaires during their first semester in college and completed follow-up questionnaires 6 months and 18 months later. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the relationships among the factors. Analyses confirmed that college freshman with insecure parental attachment relationships and those with a history of previous stressful experiences appraised the adjustment to college as more stressful and reported feeling less able to cope with the transition; these conditions predicted increased negative affect and increased eating disturbances. Women who reported experiencing negative affect and those that endorsed internalization of the thin-ideal also reported higher levels of body dissatisfaction; these women engaged in more disordered eating attitudes and behaviors. A second model investigating negative affect as mediating the relationship between the appraisal/coping process and eating disturbances also revealed that experiencing difficulties with the transition to college predicted later ...

Private saving and investment are the heart and soul of the dynamic market process. Together they provide and allocate the resources used to augment the economy's productive capacity, generate sustained long-run economic growth, and thereby make possible a rising level of living. Economic crises interrupt this process by discouraging investors and causing them to consume their resources or to employ them in relatively safe, low-yielding ways. Absent entrepreneurs willing to take the great risks that characterize investments in great technological and organizational innovations, the growth process fades into economic stagnation or even decline.
The present recession starkly displays this characteristic crisis-related abatement of the economy's investment process. Indeed, the decline of private investment during recent years has been much greater than most observers realize. Consider the following data, taken or derived from the most recently revised National Economic Accounts prepared by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis (Tables 1.1.5, 1.1.6, and 5.2.6).
In 2006, gross private domestic investment reached its most recent peak, at $2.33 trillion (in constant 2005 dollars), or 17.4 percent of GDP. After remaining almost at this level in 2007, this measure of investment fell substantially during each of the next two years, reaching $1.59 trillion, or 11.3 percent of GDP, in 2009. This decline is severe enough, but it does not give us all the information we need to gauge the extent of the investment bust.
The greater part of gross investment consists of what the statisticians call the capital consumption allowance, an estimate of the amount of money that must be spent simply to offset wear and tear and obsolescence of the existing capital stock. In a country such as the United States, with an enormous fixed capital stock built up over the centuries, a great amount of funds must be allocated simply to maintain that stock. In recent years, the private capital consumption allowance has ranged from $1.29 trillion in 2005 to $1.46 trillion (in constant 2005 dollars) in 2009. Thus, even in the boom year 2006, about 60 percent of gross private domestic investment was required merely to maintain the economy's productive capacity, leaving just 40 percent, or $889 billion in net private domestic investment, to augment that capacity.
From that level, net private domestic investment plunged during each of the following three years, taking the greatest dive between 2008 and 2009, when it fell to only $54 billion (in constant 2005 dollars), having declined altogether by 94 percent from its 2006 peak! Last year only 3.5 percent of all private investment spending went toward building up the capital stock. Thus, net private investment did not simply fall during the recession; it virtually disappeared.
Unless this drastic decline is reversed soon, the future will be bleak for the U.S. economy. Without substantial net private investment, brisk economic growth is unthinkable beyond the very short run. Although private investment spending has recovered somewhat since it reached its trough in the third quarter of 2009, gross private domestic investment in the most recent quarter (April to June) of 2010 remained 21 percent below its peak in the first quarter of 2006, and net private domestic investment remained about 64 percent below its previous peak.
While this private-sector disaster was occurring, however, the government sector of the economy was booming. The ratio of all federal government spending — purchases of goods and services plus transfer payments — to GDP increased from 20.6 percent in the fourth (October to December) quarter of 2007 to 25.4 percent in the most recent (April to June) quarter of 2010.

Atmospheric Sciences: M.S. (Nicole Mölders)
I grew up in central New York and completed my undergraduate studies at SUNY Oswego in May 2013. It was there that I studied Meteorology and Geology with a concentration in environmental earth science. Living and studying in Central New York provided me numerous opportunities to experience and analyze an array of weather phenomena from severe thunderstorms to heavy lake effect snow events. In addition, through Oswego I was also able to participate in a storm forecasting and observation program in the Great Plains, and interned as an air technician where I took and analyzed air samples at asbestos removal sites. In fall 2013 I started my masters in atmospheric sciences at UAF. I will be working with Dr. Mölders to model methane release using the WRF-Chem. In my spare time I can usually be found outside camping, hiking and taking photographs.

Atmospheric Sciences: ""Past, Present and Future States and Variations of the late Quaternary Permafrost Subsystem"
I was raised in Minnesota and received my B.S. in Meteorology from the University of Oklahoma School of Meteorology (tornado country!). With Dr. John Walsh as my advisor, we are working in a group under Dr. Kazuyuki Saito on a project titled "Past, Present and Future States and Variations of the late Quaternary Permafrost Subsystem". We will work to validate simulated permafrost distributions against proxy data, understand how permafrost might change under different climate conditions, as well as understand the consequences of those changes. My interests include polar and tropical climates, atmosphere-ocean interactions, and climate change.

Foreclosure scares people because it means they may lose their house. But if you face foreclosure, you may still be able to help yourself if you understand what it is and how it works.
What is foreclosure?
Foreclosure is a legal action that a moneylender can take if a person who borrowed money using a mortgage stops paying back the mortgage. Foreclosure allows the lender to take or sell the person's house by first getting a court's permission to do so.
What is a mortgage?
A mortgage is a contract between a borrower and a lender to repay a loan. It gives the lender some assurance that the borrower will pay back the borrowed money. When you get a mortgage to buy a house, you borrow money from a person or company and you promise to pay back that money, usually with interest and in regular payments. The lender makes sure you will repay the loan with a mortgage, or charge, against your house, registered at the Land Title Office. You may have the right to pay off the mortgage and get the charge on your house removed – some mortgages allow that. For more on mortgages, check script 408, called "Mortgages and Financing a House Purchase."
What happens if you miss a mortgage payment or make a late payment?
You do not automatically lose your house. Lenders don't want to foreclose if they don't have to because it is expensive and takes a lot of time. A lender will probably not start to foreclose until 2 or 3 months after you stop paying. Normally, a lender will first send letters demanding payment. Then, if you don't reply, the lender will usually start to foreclose and sue you at the same time.
If you have a short-term problem, like a temporary layoff, you may be able to make a deal with the lender to make smaller payments for a time, and add the amounts you fall behind to the total amount of your mortgage. Or you may be able to make smaller payments for a while and a larger catch-up payment later. Most lenders would rather make some sort of deal and keep the mortgage in good standing, instead of starting expensive foreclosure proceedings in court.
The law tries to help you if you have a good chance of paying what you owe and if you try to get your finances in order. Only in the worst case may you lose your house and any equity you've built up in it. Equity is the amount that your house value exceeds your mortgage loan and any other debts that other lenders have registered against your house.
If a lender starts to foreclose, what happens first?
If there's a Supreme Court Registry where your house is located, the lender has to start legal proceedings there. You will receive a document called a "petition for foreclosure", which is the lender's notice to you that they are asking the court to help them get back the money they loaned you.
What should you do if you receive a petition for foreclosure?
Get legal advice right away. And if you want to protect yourself and take part in the court proceedings, you must file a Response to Petition (with supporting affidavits) within 21 days of getting a petition for foreclosure. You must file the Response at the court address shown on the petition. You also have to deliver 2 copies of your Response to the lender. Once you do this, no one can take any steps in the foreclosure without notifying you. If you don't file a Response, the foreclosure will go ahead without you, and you won't be able to protect yourself. After you file the Response, you will get a document called a Notice of Hearing, which tells you when the lender will ask the judge for the order nisi to start the foreclosure.
What happens at the hearing?
The court will give the lender an order nisi, but in most cases, it will also give you time to redeem the mortgage by paying the full amount you owe, plus interest, costs and taxes. This time is called the redemption period and it's usually 6 months. But sometimes the lender will ask the court for a shorter redemption period. The court can make an order to sell your house at any time, including at the order nisi stage.
So one good reason to attend the court hearing is to ask the judge for as much time as possible to get the money to pay off the mortgage or sell the house. If you need more time, you can ask for an extension. If you ask for a long redemption period or an extension, the court will want to know what you have done to pay off the mortgage and what chance you have of paying the mortgage or selling the house on your own or through your own real estate agent. You should use a lawyer in this case because a lawyer can advise you on your options, including possible refinancing, even with another lender.
When the redemption period ends, the court can give the lender a final order of foreclosure – see the section called "The lender can apply to court for an order absolute" below. Or, the lender can ask the court for the right to have their own real estate agent list your house for sale. If there are other people or companies with a charge against your house, besides the lender who started to foreclose, they may ask for the right to sell your house. If the court gives the lender or anyone else the right to sell your house, it gives them conduct of sale. If this happens, you cannot sell the house yourself. If anyone asks the court for conduct of sale for your house, you should ask the court to give you exclusive conduct instead. This means that only you are in charge of selling it. Or you can ask the court to give you at least joint conduct with the other person or company, so you have some control.
You can do two things during the redemption period
What if you have no equity in your home?
If you owe more than you can sell the house for, you will probably want to get out of the situation with as little expense and trouble as possible. But you should still take action instead of ignoring the problem. You may want to work with the lender to minimize costs by agreeing to the foreclosure. Normally, you would only do this if the lender will give you a full release from your mortgage, meaning you won't owe the lender any more money. If the lender won't agree to this, you can just let the foreclosure proceedings go ahead and use the time as a rent-free period to get your finances back in order. If any other people or companies with debts registered against your house are not paid from the money from selling your house in the foreclosure, you will still have to deal with them. Otherwise, they can sue you for any money you still owe them.
The lender can apply to court for an order absolute
The final order for foreclosure is called an order absolute, and it comes after the redemption period ends. If the lender applies for an order absolute and the court grants it, the house then belongs to the lender and you have to leave it. You lose all rights to the house. You will no longer owe the lender any money, but if anyone registered a debt against your house after the mortgage, you'll still owe that money. In exceptional cases, you can apply to the court for relief from losing your house if you can pay the balance in full. Then the court can order the lender to transfer the house back to you.
If the lender gets an order absolute
If the lender gets an order absolute, and registeres title in its own name, it cannot make any further claims against you. It can sell the house, but if the sale does not produce enough money to pay off the mortgage, you do not have to pay the difference.
But lenders do not usually ask the court for an order absolute. Instead, they will usually sue you when they start to foreclose and ask the court for an order to sell your house to pay off the loan. If the money from selling your home doesn't completely pay off the mortgage loan, the lender can try to collect the difference from you.
What happens if you have a second mortgage or other charges registered against your house?
Any mortgages or charges registered before the lender's mortgage continue and are still valid. But any that were registered after the lender's mortgage are cancelled and the holders of those charges lose their security. For example, if you have two mortgages on your house, and the first lender forecloses, the second lender will have to pay off the first lender or lose its security. Then the second lender would have to try to get you to pay its loss.
A mortgage is a contract to repay a loan, secured with a charge on land. It's registered against your property in the Land Title Office. If you fail to pay the mortgage, for example, by falling behind in your mortgage payments, the lender may start to foreclose. Then if you can't pay the mortgage loan in full, either by selling your house or in some other way, the lender can take your property or sell it to pay off the loan.
If you receive a foreclosure petition, get legal advice right away. It doesn't cost much to have a first meeting with a lawyer. As well, you should see a lawyer if anyone asks you or your spouse to sign any new documents, because your spouse may not be liable under the original mortgage documents.
