This article explores cross-sectional associations between depressive symptoms and body mass index (BMI) in women working in schools in the Greater New Orleans area. Self-efficacy for eating and exercise, eating styles, and exercise are examined as potential pathways. This is a secondary data analysis of 743 women who were participating in a workplace wellness randomized controlled trial to address environmental factors influencing eating and exercise behaviors using baseline data prior to the intervention. BMI was the primary outcome examined. Path analysis suggested that increased depressive symptoms were associated with increased BMI in women. Indirect effects of depressive symptoms on BMI were found for increased healthy eating self-efficacy, increased emotional eating, and decreased exercise self-efficacy. The association between greater healthy eating self efficacy and BMI was unexpected, and may indicate a suppressor effect of eating self-efficacy in the relationship between depressive symptoms and BMI in women. The findings suggest the importance of depressive symptoms to BMI in women. Targets for interventions to reduce BMI include targeting depressive symptoms and related sequelae including self-efficacy for exercise, and emotional eating. Further investigation of eating self-efficacy and BMI are recommended with particular attention to both efficacy for health eating and avoidance of unhealthy foods.

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Four teenage girls were arrested Monday for allegedly trying to smuggle heroin into southern Arizona.
Tucson Sector Border Patrol agents working at the Interstate 19 checkpoint south of Amado, Ariz., referred a commercial shuttle for inspection.
After a 15-year-old passenger behaved nervously during questioning, agents searched her bags and reportedly found bundles of heroin.
The agents searched the other passengers and found three other teens with bundles of heroin tucked into their waistbands, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The juveniles' names have not been released, but authorities said they were between the ages of 15 and 17.
Authorities said the 7.75 pounds of heroin had an estimated street value of $90,000.
The teens were turned over to the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office.

2011-12: Florek signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Bruins in March 2012 following his senior season at Northern Michigan and made his pro hockey debut – skating for Boston's AHL affiliate Providence. In eight games with Providence he scored 2 goals with 2 assists and was plus-three with 2 penalty minutes. Providence missed the AHL playoffs; finishing fourth in the Atlantic Division. Florek was the second-leading scorer for Northern Michigan behind fellow senior Tyler Gron in his final college season, leading the Wildcats with a career-high 19 goals and adding 17 assists. He finished the year plus-four and had 18 penalty minutes in 37 games. Nine of his goals were scored on the power play. The Wildcats finished sixth in the CCHA.
2012-13: Florek skated for the Bruins' AHL affiliate in Providence in his first pro season. He scored 11 goals with 16 assists and was +12 with 37 penalty minutes in 71 games. Providence finished first in the Atlantic Division and reached the second round in the playoffs. Florek scored 1 goal with 2 assists and was -1 with 4 penalty minutes in 12 playoff games.
Talent Analysis
Florek is a big, heavy, two-way, power forward, who uses his large frame and long reach to work the walls and maintain possession down low. He is particularly dangerous around the net, where he digs in and cleans up the garbage. He has an excellent shot. While he is still growing into his body, Florek is already quite strong on his skates and is difficult to move off of the puck. He's a willing physical player and hits more as the game warrants, but he's not an intimidator. He possesses some nice hands and an evolving passing game. Very responsible defensively and a regular penalty-killer for Northern Mighigan.
Florek will play his second season with Providence during the 2013-14 season. He will likely be used as a bottom-six forward, but could find his way into the top-six. The Northern Michigan alum still needs time to develop his game at the AHL before he makes the jump to the NHL. He projects as a third or fourth line checking player at the NHL.

Toll, Lennar: 2 Good Ways to Play the Housing Recovery
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Signs of a significant housing recovery are ubiquitous. There's little controversy that the recovery is valid and enduring. As long as credit is cheap and available, as long as the pent-up demand is greater than the supply, it will endure.
Then early Wednesday, the news came, as noted here by the Wall Street Journal:
Housing starts decreased 3% last month from October to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 861,000, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. Since November 2011, new home construction was up 21.6% . . . .
Construction of single-family homes, which made up two-thirds of housing starts last month, dropped 4.1% in November to a rate of 565,000 units. Single-family construction was up 22.8% from a year earlier.
As a Barron's news story concluded, "The figures were below expectations. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had forecast overall housing starts would drop to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 865,000, which would have been a 3.2% decline from October's previously reported figures."
The upside of the Commerce Department's report was summarized by Dave Lutz, a trader at Stifel Nicolaus, who opined, "Billings by U.S. architecture firms increased in November at the fastest pace in five years, a sign construction will pick up next year as businesses invest in commercial projects. The American Institute of Architects Billings Index climbed to 53.2 last month, the highest level since November 2007, from 52.8 in October."
Lutz reminded us that the index has risen for six straight months, the longest winning streak in its 17-year history. All I can add is that when the Architects Billings Index rises month after month that bodes well for the economy and for the home building industry specifically.Jim Cramer and Stephanie Link actively manage a real money portfolio for his charitable trust- enjoy advance notice of every trade, full access to the portfolio, and deep coverage of the latest economic events and market movements.Earlier this month luxury-home builder Toll Brothers (TOL - Get Report) let it be known that their quarterly profits surged in the fiscal fourth quarter. TOL reported that net signed contracts for building homes were more than $684 million. That's up 75% from the year-ago quarter. TOL also reported the number of units surged to 1,098 which is a 70% improvement from last year. In fact The Wall Street Journal reported that "...on a per-community basis,

This was the 2nd year I went to Hollywood for the SSMF (http://ssmf.com | @SSMF). I went last year because Smashing Pumpkins was headlining, in addition Slash was the honoree (see last year's post). I had such a great time both at the festival, on the strip, and even shopping on Melrose Ave I figured I would go back in 2011.
This year the honoree was Mötley Crüe, I was never a big Crue fan so I was mainly going again this year for the great experience of finding out and seeing new bands. This year my new tool to find out about the bands was Spotify. About half the bands I looked up were in Spotify, which makes sense since most of the bands haven't been signed yet. So I had to use MySpace and Facebook to look up the others. Like last year I made a short list of bands I wanted to see Friday and Saturday night.
Thursday evening I got to the Mötley Crüe honoree ceremony about 7PM and again enjoying the perks of the VIP pass and the venue. The major of West Hollywood spoke first, then another person I believe, then Ray Manzarek (co-founder and keyboard player for the doors | Wikipedia | pics | video) came out and spoke about the Crue for a bit and played a few songs. Next up was a hard core roast of Crue by Dane Cook (comedian | Wikipedia | pics | video), after Dane David Johansen (lead singer from New York Dolls | Wikipedia | pics) spoke about times gone by with Crue then Crue came out to accept their reward (Crue accepting their reward). Beforehand I got some great pics of Vince & Tommy on red carpet (pics | video), I missed Nikki Sixx and saw him when I was on the 3rd floor balcony of the HoB (pic).
Friday AM I did some work then headed out for lunch and shopping on Melrose Ave. I visited Shrine Underground Fashions and Forgotten Saints again and several other stores. I ended up getting a pair of designer blue jeans ($180), shirt ($160), boots ($160), and a few other items for a total of $800. Which is WAY more than I've ever spent per item in one day, well maybe except for last year when I bought a $300 cloak at Shrine J
Friday night I went to the Whisky to see Ray Manzarek & Robby Krieger, with some other members, who were doing a total Doors evening. This is was a VERY special event since the Doors got started in LA and were the house band for the Whisky in the mid\late sixties. Unfortunately the show was oversold and those VIP member who didn't also purchase a ticket, like me, had to wait outside to see if they would have room. I got in line about 8:30 and the Door "re-union" band went on at 10PM and I was still outside with no hope of getting in so I left very disappointed. I ended up going to the Viper and saw Purple Mellon and another band there, but forgot to tweed or comment on foursquare the 2nd band name. Afterwards I walked the strip a bit more a went into the Rainbow Key Club but didn't stay.
Saturday I did more work in the AM and got to the festival around 1PM. Like last year I would go into one club and as soon as that band was done, or if I didn't care for them much, I would goto the next club. I spent most of my time the Whisky and Roxy since they cater to rock\metal bands. Before 6PM I headed back outside for Bush and was able to get pretty close (pics | video) and they put on a great set. I then went back to Whisky for another metal band and a drink and got back out about 8PM for Mötley Crüe. It was much more crowded then, but I was still able to get fairly close. By this time it was dark and none of my pictures came out good, but did get some good video, except for audio. Tommy Lee's drum coaster to dubstep | with deadmau5 (Tommy is going to be at the deadmau5 show Tuesday 8/30 @ Red Rocks also). After Crue I went back club hopping until about 2AM. Sunday I worked in the AM and then James' wife Krista came and picked me up and the three of us had lunch and I worked a bit more from their house before I headed back home to CO.
I will be back again in 2012. I now have four (Bonnaroo, Voodoo, Telluride Blues & Brews, & SSMF) on my must do list for each year.

First off I'm WAY behind on blog post, I saw over 30 concerts and 114 "shows" this year but I couldn't wait to post about the AMAZING, PHENOMENAL, EXTRAORDINARY, etc Roger Waters - The Wall show\tour.
My tour started on 11/17 when I flew into Atlanta and met up with several of my great friends at the Euclid Ave Yacht Club in Little 5 Points in ATL. I had asked my friend in ATL if they were big Roger\Pink Floyd fans but none of them really were. Since I'm not dating anyone, as I had hoped when I got the ticket the day they went on pre-pre-sale, I ended up selling my extra ticket on Stubhub (broken even on the $225 ticket). My seat at this show at Philip Arena was on the floor just to the right of the sound board, so the sound was GREAT. But it was hard to see the entire stage, mainly Roger & band (The Wall 30' high so I could see most of it). In addition people stood up the whole time, which I didn't mind, but many were constantly holding up cell phones which just take crappy pictures in the dark and just annoy people. But this first show of the tour, for me, was more than I expected and has to be the most elaborate concert production ever!
The show started with The Wall about 40% complete, with the center section not built up, and ¼ of the venue block off by The Wall. Like the original tour in '79/'80 (which I was too young to see) The Wall was built up over the course of the show. The entire The Wall album was played, with some key changes to a couple of them. The political message and video footage was also changed up. A good portion of the original animation footage, in the movie, was used with computer rending of additional animation on The Wall. Roger had custom ultra-high definition projectors made for this tour since he couldn't find any that met his requirements off the shelf and they, a total of 15, were breathtaking on their quality and effects! As the blocks of The Wall were put in place they would light up as the worker (dressed in black behind the wall with scissor lifts and scaffolding visible just a bit here & there) set them in place, it was a very cool effect. Openings were left in The Wall so you could see the drummer (Graham Broad), guitar players (Snowy White, who has been with Roger\Floyd since '79 & Dave Kilminster) and Robbie Wyckoff doing vocals for David Gilmour's parts during most of the show (see this clip near the end). The singers and guitar players also appeared on top of the Wall with Roger and backup singers in front of The Wall during a few songs. At the Denver show I was able to bring my camera in and recorded most of the show. The highlights, recording wise, being Mother part 1 & part 2, Goodbye Blue Skies, Empty Spaces w/ the sexualized flowers, Nobody Home (I was zoomed in on "room" that folded down from The Wall with Roger sitting in a chair, similar to the move), and finally Comfortable Numb which is a MUST SEE video and I have the entire song recorded. Once The Wall was fully built there was an intermission after Goodbye Cruel World. After the intermission the show continued with the climax being The Trial, during which The Wall was knocked down!
After the show in ATL on Thursday I flew to Houston, TX, where my brother lives. My brother, two of his friends, and myself went to the show there at the Toyota Center. We had tickets in section 114 (1st section off the floor) directly facing the stage. These tickets were much better, and only $120, since you could see the whole production. The show was also amazing in Houston. Saturday and Sunday during the day I had met up with some old friends and took my brothers 847HP '91 Toyota Supra out for high speed driving and drifting. It's hard to put into words the amount of power this car has. My brother, who is a master mechanic at Bentley, has been working on it over year. I think he said he has over $30K in this car, but he knows he will less than half that if he sells it. He built it just to do it; so he now has an 847HP (on Q16 fuel) over 180 mph (fast as he's been in it so far, but said it still had more) car. At 100 MPH the rear end on this car still breaks loose if you floor it all the way. This car is a pure adrenal rush!
Sunday I flew back to Denver for the show on Tuesday night at Pepsi Center. I also had four tickets to this show, also 1st level up off the floor but 1st ROW center so these were the BEST seats in the house!!! Again I couldn't find any avid Roger\Floyd fans that could justify the price ($120) but was able to find two Facebook friends, and new in person friends now, who wanted them. I gave the final ticket to my best friend Matt, who is also a major Floyd fan but broke. Matt was our DD and the Denver show was also amazing. Every time I looked around people just had this amazed stare on their face and mouths open in awe. Since I was able to bring my camera in I got a lot of great footage. Our seats were amazing since we were on the front row center, just off the left of the sound board below us, with only a railing to hold on it. That railing got a lot of use, I remember at time feeling like a blast of air and fire hitting me and holding on while leaning way back. This show will NEVER be topped and if you have a chance to see Roger on this tour YOU MUST GO!!! The Wall will NEVER be done again and Roger has said this will probably be his last full tour.

Saw deadmau5 last night at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver. For those that don't know who\what deadmau5 is (I didn't until a couple of months ago):
Joel Thomas Zimmerman (born January 5, 1981), better known by his stage name Deadmau5 (stylized as deadmau5; pronounced "dead mouse"), is a Canadian progressive house and electro house producer based in Toronto, Ontario
This was a DJ\house\neo-trance show that started at 7PM DJ Sir Thomas, DJ Skirllex @ 9PM, and deadmau5 at 10:30. When I got there, around 8PM, the venue was pretty empty and slowly filled in; by the time deadmau5 came on it was probably 70% full and might have been close to capacity by 11ish. Skirllex was good and got the crowd going, I was hanging out in the balcony people watching, but the main act put on a major show! The setup was a wall of LED and other nights with the center piece being a ~12' cube pointed out into the crowd with the three sides made up of LEDs. During his set deadmau5 would control the lights, video, etc on the wall and cube. It's hard to guess at the months of work it took to get the samples, colors, lights, videos, & graphics all programmed in and pull off such a great production.
By the time deadmau5 came on I had moved to the center of the floor, right in front of the sound board with the railing right behind me. So I had one of the best sounding spots with a great view and nobody behind me, pretty hard to beat. During the show there were 4-8 women dancing around me, I was dancing amongst, the night was good J. The crowd was mostly in their late teens to early 20s, it was 16+ show, but there were plenty of people my age their also. I was dressed all in black, industrial/goth look, and put in my demon contacts (all black iris with a red rink on the outside) just to freak people out some. I stayed in this spot during the whole show, as did a few women that I shared some grooving time with. Glad I went to the show, very different style of music then any others I've been to in a while and I get to see deadmau5 again later this month in New Orleans at Voodoo Music Festival.
Lots of pics on his Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/deadmau5
Facebook Pic Album
Several months ago I heard Smashing Pumpkins was doing a small tour and when I check I was busy, didn't want to goto the city where they were playing, or the show was sold out. But then a few days later Billy posted on Facebook that Smashing Pumpkins were going to headline the Sunset Strip Music Festival (@SSMF | #SSMF). I checked into the website and saw Slash was the honoree this year and over 50 bands preforming from Thur-Sat. The day ticket for Saturday was $50, but this didn't guarantee access into the Slash tribute Thursday night, other nights, in & out access on Saturday, and unlimited in & out to venues Friday night. There was a 3 Day VIP pass for $250 that allowed this, plus access to 3 VIP lounges and a couple of other perks. I figured what the hell; if I'm going to spend $200 on airfare and $500 on hotel I should go for the best option to see the music. So I purchased the VIP pass, a room at the Ramada in West Hollywood on Santa Monica Boulevard, and airfare. Out of the 50+ bands I only recognized about eight of the bands, so now I had a reason to listen to new music.
A few days before leaving for Hollywood I spent a couple of hours going to each band's MySpace site (do individual still use this site?) to listen to their music and their website or Wikipedia to get more info. Almost all of the bands at the SSMF were local bands I found out. The main headliner was Smashing Pumpkins on Saturday night and Slash beforehand. The setup was two outdoor stages about five blocks apart on Sunset Strip, which would be closed all day Saturday for the second time ever, and bands at five clubs (The Viper Room, Key Club, Whiskey A Go Go, The Roxy, The Cat Club) all Friday night and from 1PM till close on Saturday. I got through all of the bands playing Friday night and made a list of those I wanted to see and said I would get to the Saturday bands before Saturday.
Thursday I flew into LAX, on the way to the airport I called by friend James Walker (owner of Future Trends – Managed IT Provider\MSP in LA area) and he said he could pick me up. James have me a small tour of Beverly Hills (including the section of road in Less Than Zero, and many other movies), Hollywood, and swung buy the Roxy to get my VIP pass. While near the Kodak Theater we got to see the filming of a Justin Timberlake a video on the way to my hotel.
The Slash honoree ceremony was scheduled to start at 8:15 PM with doors at 7PM, with The Head Cat – Wikipedia (lead by Lemmy from Motörhead) after the ceremony. So I got there about 7 and checked out the entire House of Blues, this one being the 5th or 6th HoB I've been to now. Like all of the others the décor, art, and feel were great; this one was one of my favorites actually. I head downstairs around 8PM and got right to the front of the line with my VIP pass and found out they had free booze and hors d'oeuvres. First up was Michael Maglieri who I think used or does own\manage the Rainbow. He told some stories about Slash (@Slash), including how he kicked him out of the Rainbow and Whiskey several times for getting in before he was old enough, punching out a window, and smoking weed in the bathrooms. Jerry Cantrell (from Alice in Chains) was next, who said Slash was the hardest working person he knows in the business and must have cloned himself. He was proud of Slash as a human, husband, and father. He also mentioned that Alx threw away an AiC tape in early days without even listening to it when Jerry gave him it. Then a video with Ozzy, Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top, Conan O'Brian, and others was played. Next was Lemmy, who knew Slash since the 80s and told a story how Slash was with him when Lemmy "died before going on stage", his heart stopped and had to be resuscitated (I would assume due to drugs).
Finally Slash came out, who I think is a pretty humble person and you could tell he was very appreciative to be recognized at the 3rd annual SSMF. Then The Head Cat played, Lemmy sounded like Lemmy and I don't recall it being bad or great, but I had a good buzz going at this point. I did make a note that they played Suzy Q and Big Bad John, by Jonny Cash. The place wasn't that crowed and I had made a few friends in the crowed who I chatted and danced with. Afterwards I headed to the Whiskey A Go Go, got in for free w/ VIP pass, and saw Beth Hart. After three or four songs Slash came out and played the rest of the show with her. The Whiskey, besides their overzealous security, is great venue. The stage is in the corner of the main room to your right when you come in with a line of booths against the wall to your left and a bar straight ahead. Above the booths and lower bar is a balcony with tables and chair seating and a bar; overlooking the floor and stage. The venue holds a few 100 and had pretty good acoustics and is a great setup. Don't recall where I went after that, but know I got back to the hotel after 3AM.
Friday I got up around 9AM and did some work till about 4PM, I left to get lunch and did some further research on bands and now had a set agenda for who I was going to see that night. I had planned to start the night out at Whiskey A Go Go, but they weren't letting VIPs in until 10:45PM for free and tickets were $25. I didn't feeling like paying anymore so headed out to the many different clubs music hopping.
The stand out bands for the weekend were: Smashing Pumpkins, Beth Hard, Warner Drive, Tucker Jameson & The Hot Mug, Slash, Pure Habit, Cashed Out, All Hail the Yeti, Neo Trees, Saint Motel, Shuvel, and Vayden. For a complete list see: http://bit.ly/SSMF1010
I stayed out till 3ish Friday and Saturday night. Saturday I went shopping on Melrose Ave and went by Shrine Underground Fashions and Forgotten Saints. Sunday I met up with James Walker and his wife and I went to his Peter's house (his identical twin brother and my old roommate from Atlanta '94-'96) for a cook out. I flew home around 6PM, had an outstanding weekend and will be back next year!
Here's a good review:
This was a solo show for me, I almost didn't get a ticket since I had seen Primus a couple of times in the 90s and Les Claypool and his various bands since then. I really like old Primus and didn't care much for Les' side projects. Damn I am glad I made this show, Les FUCKING ROCKED HE IS THE BASS GOD!
So the show started with Dead Kenny G's, which I missed, I guess they went right on a 7PM and I got there about 7:40PM. The 1st 1/3 and last 1/3 of Red Rocks was GA so I found a spot with some people on row 13 and waited for the next act to start.
Gogol Bordello came on at 8:22 and played till 9:36. They were entertaining and sounded OK, except for the lead singer. I couldn't make out any of what he was singing, wasn't sure if it was English or Yetish. Most of the crowd was into them and was dancing and singing and enjoying it. Maybe I just didn't get it because I was there solo and the guys next to me were metal heads and only there to see Primus. They made the statement multiple times how much Gogol sucked.
Next was the main event PRIMUS (Primus Sucks!!!) with Jay Lane on drums, Larry "Ler" LaLonde and guitar, and of course Les Claypool on vocals & bass. They came on stage at 10:12, played till 11:45, then took a break and did a single encore (~3 songs in one) from 11:48 – 11:57. While I LOVE Red Rocks I wish this show was at a smaller venue since I know the crowd\pit would have been awesome. I think everyone enjoyed the show but there is only some much dancing you can do in a 2'x3' space.

· Les said he played The Awakening when he was 17 years old during lunch in his high school cafeteria. He said it was the most awesome thing he had done up to that point and had a 17 year old hard on for the next week. Old youtube video of him doing it.
Wednesday was the Social Distortion show. I had an extra ticket and traded it to "Tattoo" Adam, who owns Electric Tattoo in Longmont. I've been meaning to get my current tattoo (amethyst/purple dragon) touched up and maybe some other work done. Adam, who is a huge Social D fan and even has some of their lyrics tattoo on him, and I left Longmont and got to Boulder about 7PM.
The first act was The Action Design, the female lead singer was attractive to look at, but her voice was piercing and a bit annoying, she also played keyboards a bit. The bass player stood out from the rest of the band. Didn't care much for this band. Next up was [The] Dan Sartain [Band]. They had a rockabilly sound and the singer sounded a bit like Brian Seltzer. Enjoyed this band much more than the first, they also got the crow going a bit.
Finally was Social Distortion, Adam & I moved right down to stage left; there was only one person in front of us. The place had really filled up by now (sold out) and we made our move right after Dan Sartain got off stage. Since I'm not a big Social D fan I don't recall what songs they played (pinged Adam on this point) and this show isn't on setlist.fm, but I enjoyed the band and really enjoyed the pit. The band didn't have a crazy stage show, just the basics singer/guitarist (Mike Ness), 2nd guitarist (Jonny "2 Bags" Wickersham), Bass (Brent Harding), and drums (David Hidalgo, Jr). They had great energy, sounded good, and the crowd was into it. After a few songs I moved into the pit, which has slowly been building. Social D is more mellow punk but with enough energy that you have to move. I stayed on the edge of the pit most of the time, by a couple of women who were very appreciative of me blocking most of the pit from the; they thanked me a few times. When I did get into the pit it was all fun, no one was being violent or overly aggressive. So much show that you could weightless float around the pit, just slowly start falling backwards and bouncing off whoever you fell into and going in the direction they pushed you next. So the pit was mellow, when compared to any of the ones at Mayhem Fest, with a mix of slam dancing, solo dancing, and floaters. The two women I was standing my would occasionally get in and grabbed my arm a couple of those times, so we went around the pit a few times together and apart. At the end of the show I got the redhead's number (I can't resist those crazy redheads!). The encore song was Ring of Fire.

Jennifer Bougher '00, Music & Double MajorJennifer Bougher '00 was always going to be a lawyer. Of that, she was certain. But she'd grown up playing music and wanted to continue playing music at a high level in college. So she chose Butler. ~ Read more.
"At the time, I could not envision my life without music," Bougher said. "Music was a significant part of my identity growing up. Although I knew I didn't want to make it my career, it would remain a part of my life and I wanted to continue my music education. I had been trained by excellent instructors and surrounded by very skilled peers to that point in life, and I was not interested in downgrading to a place where the music education program was anything less than outstanding.
"Yet most of the top music programs do not allow you to participate unless you intend to make music your full-time career. Butler was a clear exception, offering a top-notch music school alongside its highly regarded liberal arts college and affording qualified students the opportunity to fully participate in both."
Bougher double majored in English and music (violin performance). During her years at Butler, she played with the Butler Symphony Orchestra, flute and piccolo in the Marching and Basketball Bands-and once played violin during an Earth, Wind & Fire medley while marching on the field during the halftime show at a homecoming football game. (David McCullough, the Director of University Bands, clipped a microphone to her violin, she remembered with a laugh).
She got the opportunity to travel with the Basketball Band during tournament season, and even toured England performing with the Butler Symphony Orchestra.
Bougher fulfilled her career plan: She graduated from law school and is now an attorney practicing commercial litigation at a major national law firm in New York City. At the same time, she has performed with the Lawyers' Orchestra in New York.
"As a violinist, you have to be comfortable onstage performing well under pressure with all eyes on you," she said. "As a litigator, I am perfectly comfortable standing up in court, making an argument in front of a judge, jury and clients, and making a pitch or a presentation. I think that skill is similar, even though it looks a little different."
David Platt '13, Music & EducationIn five years at Butler, David Platt '13 took advantage of everything the School of Music had to offer. And that, he said, has made all the difference. ~ Read more.
"Butler gave me amazing opportunities to pursue whatever I wanted," he said. "I know if I'd gone to any other music school, I wouldn't have been able to branch out so much and I wouldn't have had the same kind of support."
Platt, who's now in a master's program in orchestral conducting at the Cleveland Institute of Music, one of the leading conservatories in the United States, was a music education major at Butler. And he played and studied violin with professors Lisa Brooks, Davis Brooks, and Larry Shapiro. Platt performed frequently in solo recitals, with chamber groups, and the Butler Symphony Orchestra. And he studied music theory, music history, and composition "so that I could be better qualified to teach those subjects someday, or just to supplement my education."
On top of that, he took some conducting lessons with professors Stanley DeRusha, Richard Auldon Clark, and Eric Stark, "all of whom gave different insights into different areas of conducting that I still use every day here," he said.
"Looking at the undergrads at this conservatory, I'm thankful I had such a rich and diverse education from Butler University," Platt said. "Having that kind of training stretched my mind a lot more."
Platt had been interested in music from early childhood. He remembers being about 5 and going to a high school orchestra concert in which his brother played cello.
"I saw the violin section," he said, "and I was enthralled."
For a year, he begged his parents for a violin. When he was 6, they relented. He found his own violin teacher and his music career began. He played in his high school orchestra and in the New World Youth Orchestra before coming to Butler.
In Cleveland, Platt is one of four students in the school studying to be an orchestra conductor. He is learning more about managing the orchestra, rehearsal technique, score study, and expression, among other things.
He said he's thankful for all he learned at Butler.
"I can't emphasize enough," he said, "how many great opportunities Butler gave me."

A content analysis was conducted to examine sexual consequences on teen programming. The sample consisted of prime-time television dramas that featured characters between the ages of 12 and 22 years. Two major goals guided the study. First, the types of sexual consequences in teen programming were investigated. Results showed that emotional and social consequences far outnumbered physical consequences. Second, the portrayal of the sexual double standard was investigated. Negative consequences were more common in scenes in which female characters initiated sexual activities than in scenes in which male characters initiated sexual activities. Implications for future content analyses and media-effects research are discussed.

Today it's my pleasure to bring to you Gina Biegel, LMFT and author of The Stress Reduction Workbook for Teens: Mindfulness Skills to Help You Deal With Stress and her audio CD Mindfulness for Teens. Gina is a psychotherapist who works in private practice and for a large health management organization. Her passion and focus is teaching mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) with adolescents, children, adults, teachers, and health and business professionals.
Gina has adapted MBSR to MBSR-T for the adolescent population and conducted a randomized control trial assessing the efficacy of this program with significant results. She has published an article about her findings in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology (JCCP). Gina is also currently conducting a formal research study to assess the efficacy of the Mindful Schools program.
Today, Gina talks to us about how to teach mindfulness to teens to help them focus and be happy.
Elisha: What is the difference between teaching mindfulness to adults versus teens?
Gina: I think the most important thing to pay attention to when you are using mindfulness with teens is assessing whom you are working with developmentally. For example, are you working with teens in middle school or those in their senior year of high school? There are many differences to notice with these two groups of teenagers. Also, in terms of emotion regulation and coping strategies I find that teens are not as able to respond to life's stressors, both large and small, with the same ability an adult.
It's important to keep in mind that teens from every region of the world, nationally and internationally, are going to come from a multitude of different backgrounds (e.g., socioeconomically, ethnically etc.). It's necessary to look at teens as a population, but within this population consider the unique aspects of the group all the way down to each individual you are exposed to. Additionally, I find that teens are very open to mindfulness skills and to learning something new. To many of these teens, the skills they need to become socially and emotionally balanced young adults is not where I believe they should be and mindfulness is a pathway to this and if you can plant seeds that later grow into flora all the better.
Elisha: One of the practices you have in your book is Doing Schoolwork Mindfully. Since this is such a prevalent issue among teens (and their parents), can you give us a sample session here of what this looks like?
Gina: I encourage teens that have difficulties with focus, concentration, and/or overload from anxiety before a test or with doing homework:
Once they have gone through this process, they can then begin, and if they start noticing difficulty again, to take a pause and go through this process again. It is also a practice in being kind to the self. For more details on this practice, teens can follow Activity 18 in my workbook or audio track 13.
Elisha: In your book you say, "Being happy and enjoying your life takes more than just a passing thought or statement; it is about actively noticing and doing what makes you happy." How do you teach teens to do this?
Gina: There is a saying in the mental health field, something to the effect, "if it is working do more of it." I notice that some teens who are suffering from depression, anxiety and the like, at times add to their suffering or make their problem(s) worse by engaging in negative-coping strategies and self-judgments. If there are things that they can do that make them happy, then they should do more of it.
I encourage teens to notice what healthy activities they engage in that make them happy, whether they take up a short or long period of time or if they are free or expensive. Once they have this list, they can always turn to it when they feel like nothing in their life brings them happiness or calms them and do something from the list. If we don't teach someone how to be happy how can we expect him or her to automatically be happy? We encourage teens to take a foreign language in high school, preferably for three years; I believe we need to teach them the foreign language, to most teens, of mindfulness.
Elisha: If you were sitting across the table from a teen who was stressed out right now, how would you engage him or her?
Gina: The most important thing is to be yourself! I hope that I don't come across with an all-knowing attitude — instead I try to view myself as just another person on their path and if I can help in some way then that is wonderful and if I can't, then I accept that as well.
I look at work with teens as being part of their journey. I try to give them a different experience with an adult and not create, as much as possible, a 1-up position that can so easily be taken advantage of. I like to meet teens where they are. For example, I like to use their language and share age-appropriate anecdotes that hopefully they will be able to relate to. I also use a comfortable body posture. After all of the aforementioned, I would mention what I notice, "It seems like you are stressed right now, what is going on… do you feel like talking about it?"
If the teen opens up then we go from there, if the teen on the other hand says, "I don't know" or seems closed off, I might offer some red flags to notice what might be a response to stress both physically and psychologically and share with them what led me to think they might be stressed in the first place. A few other tips would be to use mindful listening and offer respect to the teen sitting across from you; he/she might not often get listened to or treated with respect.
Thank you so much Gina! As always, please share your thoughts, stories and questions below. Your interaction provides a living wisdom for us all to benefit from.

First sod cut at Marine Gardens, Fleetwood
Published on Wednesday 1st June 2011
A sod cutting ceremony at Marine Hall in Fleetwood has marked the start of a £1m project to transform the gardens and take the grounds back to the venue's heyday of the 1930s.
Doreen Lofthouse, whose family has donated a substantial amount of money to the project, officially cut the first patch of earth this morning (Wednesday). She was joined by representatives from Wyre Council, consultants BCA Landscapes, newly appointed contractors William Pye, plus local businesses to celebrate the beginning of a new era for Marine Hall.
The construction at the gardens, due to start week commencing 13 June, is part of Wyre Council's continuing regeneration work along the waterfront under the Sea Change banner. The landscaping will be designed in the style of a contemporary English marine garden with a visual nod to the seafront setting. New features, including a dramatic outdoor performance area, will further enhance Marine Hall's draw as visitor attraction for the region.
Councillor Barry Birch, portfolio holder with responsibility for regeneration at Wyre Council, said: "Today marks the start of an important period of change for the gardens here at Marine Hall. Our vision is to create a striking marine garden and firmly establish Marine Hall as a key venue for entertainment and performance, both for the people of Fleetwood and visitors."
Mrs Lofthouse added: "I am really looking forward to seeing the new gardens. They have been neglected over the years because of the cost but now we can give them a lift and make Fleetwood promenade even more beautiful than it already is.
"So many people stop their cars on the promenade to look at the view, so why not bring them a lot closer to the Marine Hall?"
A public launch to celebrate the new gardens will take place in 2012, giving the planting schemes chance to develop.
As part of today's celebration, Mrs Lofthouse was also presented with a commemorative spade by Wyre Council to thank her for her on-going and generous support for Fleetwood projects.
