Trail Mountain Bike Leader
Key content
Lead and manage your group. Enable them to learn skills, enjoy mountain biking and become more independent.
Whether leading, guiding, instructing or training others, CTC's Trail Leader course is the first vital stage to get you going.
The Trail Leader course combines training and assessment into a single package, so your qualification is completed within one course - and there is no membership requirement or other fees either. We will even provide your food and accommodation at our residential venues. Now that is what we call value for money!
What next?
You may find that the Trail Leader provides all you need. Where you wish to lead in further environments, once the Trail Leader Award has been achieved, followed by completion of a minimum of 6 led rides you may progress to the Technical Leader Award.
Trail leaders may take the Go MTB Skill Awards and Go MTB Leader and Instructor Orientation course.
Trail Leaders can also go on to deliver Young Leader and Ride Supporter courses by taking the CTC Trainer course.

Course outcomes
CTC Trail Leaders have gained all the fundamental and rounded skills and competencies required of those leading groups of mountain bikers. By achieving this qualification, you will be able to:
- Lead groups of adults, young people and children on rides and riding sessions
- Manage groups with a range of riding experience from first timers and novice to experienced and expert riders
- Prepare for rides, anticipate and minimise safety factors
- Develop and apply risk assessments, operating procedures and dynamic risk management
Provide fun, engaging and developmental sessions for your participants
- Learned and proved applied skills that mountain bike leaders require including equipment checks, trailside maintenance, navigation and managing emergencies
- Use, develop and adapt games and skill sessions to engage and enable discrete riding skills development in your participants
- Understand and apply access rights across the UK and beyond
- Complete and review rides, using self-reflective principles
- Access CTC's extensive Trail Leader Resources covering in detail all the aspects of the course and more.
Of course, you won't necessarily be able to learn everything about mountain bike leading in one course, so Trail Leaders are restricted to Trail Terrain. If you want or need to go beyond this, then using the core principles gained during your Trail Leader Award, you can progress on to CTC's other Leader, Instructor or Trainer strands.

- Have at least one years experience of regular riding experience in trail terrain. This should be a minimum of 30 rides.
- Have an interest in cycle instruction and/or mountain bike leading.
- We recommend that you hold a valid and appropriate first aid certificate (or obtain one shortly after your course).
- Be able to understand the basic principles of maps (what they represent and how).
- Have attempted to fix punctures.
- Be at least 18 years of age. (It is a legal requirement to be 18 or over before you can be in charge of others.)

The Surge: Moral Waivers and Legal Triage
Brace yourself. Bush's Iraq escalation, euphemized as "surge," sends just over 20,000 more troops into that bottomless pit, and flirts with an invasion of Iran. But because Iraq has depleted our armed forces—and recruitment levels plummet as our population wises up—Bush's plan requires still more: the entire Army active-duty force must swell to 547,000 over the next five years (an increase of 39,000), and the Marine Corps grow by 23,000 (to 202,000). Constitutionally, Congress must approve or disapprove the expansion—but one never knows whether this particular executive branch recognizes that the legislative (or judicial) branches exist. More »

Ultimate Ears In-Ear Reference Monitors
"I wonder why UERM is often disregarded when picking from $1000 range. I'm guessing that it's due to "only" having 3 drivers, versus having 8 drivers per side. I can say with confidence that driver number does not equal sound quality(for the most part). Another reason I see why UERM might not be picked is its sound sig. It's perfectly flat.

CANTON Starting Thursday, the village of Canton will have its first female police chief.
Sgt. Lori A. McDougal was unanimously appointed by village trustees Monday evening to the $75,000-a-year chiefs position.
She has served with the department since 1994, first as a patrol officer. In 2004, she was promoted to sergeant.
I like a challenge, Ms. McDougal said after being sworn in. I took the test, passed it, and I feel like its the right time for this challenge.
The appointment was made on a probationary basis with the probation term lasting from two to 12 months.
She had the fourth-highest score on the civil service exam for the police chief job, but moved up to the top three after Nathaniel A. Amritt of Nassau County decided he did not want to be considered for the job.
Village trustees interviewed two other candidates for the position, Detective Sgt. Augustus T. Gus Burns, Lisbon, and Deputy Shawn Wells, both of the St. Lawrence County Sheriffs Department.
Ms. McDougal, 45, resides in the town of Oswegatchie and has spent her entire career in the village of Canton. She worked as a security officer and security department supervisor at St. Lawrence University before joining the Canton force. She received a degree in criminal justice from SUNY Canton in 1988 and later received a bachelors degree in sociology from SUNY Potsdam.
Numerous community members encouraged her to pursue the chiefs job, Ms. McDougal said.
Ive had overwhelming support from the community. People have been very supportive and encouraging, she said.
Village Mayor David P. Curry said Ms. McDougal, with her 19 years experience with the department, was the most qualified to take over as chief. She knows the village of Canton well and she deserves it, Mr. Curry said. She will do a great job.
During the next two weeks, Ms. McDougal will work with Victor N. Rycroft, who has served as temporary chief for the past year. Mr. Rycroft, a retired state police sergeant, took the civil service test for the job, but did not pass the exam.
He was appointed on a temporary basis after Basil W. Cheney resigned after a month on the job after discovering that the $75,000 annual police chief salary was less than he was paid as sergeant in the department when overtime was included.
Ms. McDougal credited Mr. Rycroft with making positive changes to the department and improving morale. He has shown a lot of leadership, and I hope to continue that momentum, she said.
As chief, she said, she would like to be involved with upgrading the departments office space or securing new space that is larger.
At the meeting, Daniel W. Ladouceur, Ogdensburg, was sworn in as a new village patrolman.
If Ms. McDougal successfully completes her probationary period, the board is expected to fill her sergeants position.

Presented by:John Chute, M.D.Professor, Department of Medicine and Department of Pharmacology and Cancer Biology, Duke University
Dr. Chute's laboratory studies the mechanisms that regulate hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal and regeneration. They focus particularly on the hematopoietic stem cell niche or microenvironment to define the extrinsic signaling pathways through which the bone marrow microenvironment regulates hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal, differentiation, repair, and reconstitution. His research also directly focuses on defining specific signaling pathways that regulate stem cell fate but also has substantial implications for the development and application of stem cell therapies for malignant and non malignant diseases.

Comments about North Face Scythe Jacket (Women's):
I am so happy to have found a fleece that fits me well. I am petite and most regular size tops are very large on me. The Scythe jacket is very fitted, so it is actually perfect on me and there is still enough room for a thicker wool sweater underneath. It also layers well under a rain shell. It is warm but not heavy due to the Polartec thermal pro high-loft, and perfect for the "winter" in central Texas, and when under a shell is fine in the 30s. It is not windproof, but it does protect from wind better than most fleeces I've tried. The fleece is also very soft and furry, but not quite as high pile as the Osito. I actually prefer the Scythe since I will use this for hiking, and the fit is also much better on me. I purchased the turquoise color, and the actual product is a bit different from the picture in that the Kodiak Blue polar stretch is also on the collar and cuffs, but I like it that way since it looks sportier. For reference, I am 5'2", 104lbs, and the size XS is perfect.

PLEASE READ – It is important that you read ALL of the information below before proceeding to the online scholarship application.
The "Member Login" icon that is visible on the top right corner of Point's website is NOT related to the scholarship application.
To see if you qualify for the Point Foundation Scholarship, check eligibility requirements here.
Returning Applicants: If you applied for a Point Scholarship during the 2013 or 2014 application cycles, you may access your previous applications for convenient reference while completing a 2015 application. To do so, please click here. Click on the link named "2013/2014 Point Foundation Application - This application is closed" and log in with the username (email) and password that you used last year.

If you receive an invitation to fill out Part II, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU COLLECT YOUR SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION AT THAT TIME. If you are selected as a semifinalist you may have as little as one week to mail the supplemental information before the deadline. We highly recommend NOT waiting until the last few days to submit Part II of your application; those who submit earlier will be notified earlier if they are a semifinalist and will therefore have more time to collect materials.Semifinalist notifications will be ongoing and will be completed by the end of February 2015.

This ultra-moist cake has an earthy richness from the chestnut flour that perfectly balances out the sweetness of the apples. Serve as an teatime treat, after dinner dessert, or try it for breakfast instead of Coffee Cake and start your morning out with a smile. As they say, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away!"
MAKE THE CAKE and MAKE THE GLAZE
Preheat your oven to 400F.
Peel, core, and slice the apples.
Mix together the 1/2 cup sugar and 1 1/4 tablespoon of cinnamon. Toss the apples in the cinnamon sugar and place on a parchment lined sheet tray. Bake the apples for 8-10 minutes, until the sugar melts and bubbles around the slices and they are still slightly firm.
Turn the oven down to 325F.
Butter and flour a 9 1/4" Savarin mold or a 1-pound loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, mix and sift the chestnut flour, all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
In a mixing bowl fitted with the whisk attachment, mix together the melted butter, milk, and egg.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Add the roasted apples to the batter and fill your desired pan.
Bake for 20-30 minutes. The Savarin pan will take less time to bake than the loaf pan because it allows for the oven to more evenly cook the batter. Test the cake by inserting a toothpick in the center. If it pulls out clean then the cake is done. If it comes out with sticky, wet crumbs then it still needs a few minutes.
Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack.
Mix the apple cider, cinnamon stick, and cloves in a medium saucepan and reduce the cider to 1 cup. Remove the cinnamon stick and cloves and whisk the powdered sugar into the hot cider.
Glaze the cake while both the cake and glaze are still warm.
Apple Chestnut Pound Cake
1/2 cup chestnut flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup granulated cane sugar
1 stick butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
5 apples
1/2cup granulated cane sugar
1 1/4 tablespoon cinnamon
Spiced Cider Glaze
4 cups apple cider
3/4 cup powdered cane sugar
1 cinnamon stick
2 cloves

Submission Traffic Flow Algorithm Can Reduce Fuel Consumption->
thecarchik writes: New projects from German automakers Audi and BMW promise to ease congestion simply by looking at traffic signals and driving style, in an effort to smooth the flow of traffic. Through a test course in Munich, vehicles were able to post phenomenal fuel-efficiency gains simply by adjusting the timing of traffic lights depending on traffic volume—to whatever speed provides a so-called 'green wave' of four or more synchronized signals.

I apologize for the delay in continuing my story about Our Progenitor, Burlingham Rudd. It was indeed an unplanned interruption but you know how if goes when one of your brickwalls starts to come down. Like a birddog on a scent, you have to take off and follow it to its conclusion. And as in most cases of brickwalls, you jump over one and find others, but just getting over that first one is reason enough for celebration.
I want to thank Denise and Barb for getting me over my Mary Jones brickwall. I'm planning on putting together a narrative for later once we get some more information and some of the documentation arrives, but I'd like to briefly tell you a little bit about where I've been.
Mary Jones (1825-1869) was Elias Trowell Rudd's (1819-1895) first wife and the mother of my great great-grandfather, Zenothan Miles Rudd (1860-1938), who was a twin to Zeno Miner Rudd (1860-1935). I had in my database that her father was named John Edmond Jones with a little information about him and that her mother was Sarah Nancy Vaughan but had no more information on her. I also had in my database that John Edmond Jones' father was the Reverend Charles Shephard Vincent Jones of SC.
In a very weird twist, it turns out that the information needed to get over the Charles Shephard Vincent Jones brickwall was contained in a letter written some years ago whose author was a Jones researcher writing in response to an inquiry from a Rudd researcher and in more recent years that letter had ended up in the hands of a third person. The contents of the letter was revealed to me because of Denise and Barb and I can not thank them enough!
Charles Shephard Vincent Jones is the son of Edmond Jones of Colleton Co. SC. He served in the Salt Catcher Volunteer Co. (local militia) during the lead up to the American Revolution. His wife was most likely a Shephard of Beaufort Co. SC.
Sarah Nancy Vaughan's father was Michael Vaughan, who was of Scottish descent and can be found in the 1830 Walton Co. FL census. Michael and Charles both moved their families to the Euchee Valley where there was a Scottish settlement.
As a added bonus, I never knew Mary Jones was of Scottish descent.

ARNE JACOBSEN (1902-1971) was one of Denmark's most influential
20th century architects and designers. Both his buildings and products,
like his Swan and Egg Chairs, combine modernist ideals with a Nordic
love of naturalism.
As an architect and an industrial designer, Jacobsen always strove to
achieve this grace and coherence. In the process, he emerged as the
single most influential Danish architect of the 20th century and the
designer of such modernist classics as the Swan, Egg and Ant Chairs as
well as the stainless steel, abstract-shaped cutlery which the director
Stanley Kubrick chose as timelessly futuristic props for his film, 2001:
A Space Odyssey.
During the 1950s, Jacobsen became increasingly interested in product
design inspired by the work of the US furniture designers, Charles and
Ray Eames. He was also influenced both by the ideals of his textile
designer wife, Joanna, and the Italian design historian Ernesto Rogers,
who believed that the design of every element was equally important
"from the spoon to the city".
In 1951, Jacobsen completed work on the Ant Chair - Model 3100, an
intricately moulded plywood seat on three splindly steel legs. This was
followed by the simpler hourglass form of the 1955 Model 3107 - Series 7
Chair. Like the Ant, the Series 7 was perfect for modern living being
light, compact and easily stackable, but not even Jacobsen could have
anticipated that it would become one of the most popular chairs of the
late 20th and early 21st centuries even featuring on the set of the BBC
soap opera EastEnders.
By the late 1950s, Jacobsen was given an opportunity to put his
theories of integrated design and architecture into practise in the
design of the SAS Ari Terminal and Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. He
designed every element of the building from its skyscraping structure
down to the ceramic ashtrays sold in the souvenir shop and the stainless
steel cutlery later chosen by Kubrick for 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Jacobsen also created another pair of classic 20th century chairs for
the hotel in 1957's Swan and Egg with strikingly organically shaped
upholstered seats on slender metal bases.
From the 1950s onwards Jacobsen
was the dominant figure in Danish architecture, but outside Denmark he
made his mark as a furniture and product designer. As well as the Swan,
Egg and Series 7, he was responsible for another 20th century classic,
the Cylinda Line stainless steel cocktail kit and tableware which he
designed in the late 1960s for Stelton, a company run by his foster son
Peter Holmblad. Jacobsen spent three years finessing the project and
finally produced a collection of 17 objects for Stelton, all based on
the shape of a cylinder. When the Cylinda Line was launched, sales were
so poor that Holmblad sent his wife into the Copenhagen department
stores to place orders for it. The Cylinda Line then went on to win
numerous international design awards, although the abstemious Jacobsen
insisted on using the Martini mixer for hot soup.
Months before his death in 1971, Arne Jacobsen reflected on his
career. "The fundamental factor is proportion," he concluded.
"Proportion is precisely what makes the old Greek temples
beautiful...And when we look at some of the most admired buildings of
the Renaissance or the Baroque, we notice that they are all
well-proportioned. That is the essential thing."

If you wheeze or have trouble breathing only when you are at work, you may have occupational asthma. Since World War II, as industries have increased use of simple chemicals and organic compounds, breathing hazards have increased. Some 200 substances—gases, vapors, and organic and inorganic dusts—found in manufacturing workplaces and among certain occupations have been identified as causes of asthma. It's estimated that some 11 million workers are exposed to one of these substances.
Who Gets Occupational Asthma?
People who get occupational asthma are those who either:
Become sensitized to an allergen in the workplace and on subsequent exposure have an allergic reaction to the allergen or,
Are already asthmatic and have very sensitive airways that react to irritants in the workplace.
Health experts believe that between 5 and 15 percent of all cases of asthma may be related to working conditions. Of people with disabling asthma, 15 percent are believed to have been worsened by environmental factors. Estimates vary from region to region because of differences in worksite, exposure, industrial hygiene and engineering factors.
Occupational asthma also varies considerably among industries. For example, up to 30 percent of bakers exposed to flour dust get asthma. A disproportionate number of people develop asthma who work in the manufacture of detergents, in the logging or furniture industries or in handling animals.
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has estimated that about 140,000 workers in the United States are exposed to acid anhydride compounds, chemicals used to produce epoxy resins, adhesives and fire retardants. Of these workers, an estimated 20 percent have allergic asthma.
Workers in the plastics industry get asthma from exposure to chemicals known as isocyanates. Hair dyes can cause asthma among hairdressers. About 1.4 million health care workers are exposed to latex products, which can cause asthma.
What Causes Occupational Asthma?
A wide range of animal- and plant-derived proteins, insect and plant dusts, chemicals, pharmaceutical agents and bacterial enzymes are believed to cause occupational asthma. They are deposited in the lung in various ways, depending on their size and shape.
The symptoms of occupational asthma can occur in several ways. The main distinction is whether the symptoms are an allergic reaction or an irritant reaction:
For an allergic reaction to occur, a worker must first be sensitized to a substance, usually a protein, called an allergen. That is, the body's immune system on first exposure to this substance misreads the allergen as a foreign substance and makes antibodies to get rid of it. Once this sensitization takes place, it constitutes a permanent occupational injury. An allergic reaction can occur when the patient is again exposed to the substance. Constant exposure can result in severe, disabling asthma.
Scientists know little about the length of exposure or the dose needed to produce an allergic response. In most cases, there is a latent period of days or years after first exposure to the occupational allergen before symptoms occur. But once the worker is exposed, very low levels of the substance can provoke an asthmatic reaction.
Irritant reactions to substances are more common than allergic reactions and are the short-term worsening of a condition already present.
Proving the difference between a permanent allergic injury and a temporary irritant reaction is not perfect. It relies on experience and a detailed history of the condition that includes review of symptoms before starting the job, a physical exam and diagnostic testing.
Scientists also have identified a syndrome—Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome (RADS)—which falls somewhere between an acute irritant reaction and allergen- induced asthma. Typically an intense onetime irritant exposure is followed by asthma-like symptoms of coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath. This resolves over days or weeks—and sometimes months.
What Are Symptoms of Occupational Asthma?
Physical symptoms include coughing, wheezing, breathing problems and chest tightness. The skin, eyes and nose may become inflamed. Three basic patterns of asthmatic response can be seen:
A prompt response of trouble breathing and wheezing within minutes of exposure to the allergen. The condition is worse in 10 to 30 minutes and clears up in 1 to 2 hours. Symptoms often go away soon after the worker leaves the workplace and do not recur on weekends.
A delayed or late onset reaction, which often begins 1 to 6 hours after exposure and peaks in 3 to 8 hours. Sometimes it lasts 2 to 36 hours and can recur nightly after a single exposure. It may take days or weeks to resolve.
A dual response, both prompt and late onset. Symptoms begin within minutes of exposure and return to normal in 1 to 2 hours. Symptoms flare up again in the evening or after bedtime and continue in some patients for up to 12 hours.
Spill of an agent can cause high-level exposure that triggers a reaction quickly.
How Is Occupational Asthma Diagnosed?
To diagnose the condition, your doctor will begin with a careful medical history. This includes a study of the work environment to identify exposure to allergens, gases, vapors, dusts and irritants. Clues include:
Onset of symptoms within months of starting a job
Use of a new industrial agent or process
Improvement in symptoms after leaving the work area, on weekends or holidays
Symptoms that worsen during certain production procedures when exposure is greatest
Other workers similarly affected.
If there is a period of time between first exposure to a workplace agent and onset of symptoms, allergies should be suspected. To confirm your asthma, your doctor will give you breathing tests before and after giving you an airways-opening medication.
In a challenge test, the doctor may try to reproduce symptoms. You will be asked to inhale histamine or methacholine to provoke a response. The value of such challenges may be limited, though, if there has been a long delay in seeking medical care. To try to confirm the relationship between asthma and a worksite agent, your doctor may use a worksite substance suspected to cause your asthma in the challenge test.
If the doctor suspects that the asthma is caused by an allergy, skin testing may be used. An extract of the suspected allergen is used to prick or scratch your skin. If you are allergic to the substance, the area will turn red and swollen. Sometimes skin testing is too dangerous because the suspected agent is too toxic. Then blood tests, such as radioallergosorbent test (RAST) may be used. They are more costly and less sensitive than skin tests, though.
If you still work, you can measure changes in peak flow with a peak flow meter every 1 to 2 hours during the work shift and while away from the workplace. Such monitoring may continue for about 3 weeks—2 weeks at work and 1 week off work. Also record when symptoms and exposures occur and when medication is needed. This allows comparison of symptoms at work versus those away from work.
How Can It Be Treated?
If allergy-induced asthma has been diagnosed, you should avoid exposure to the agent that triggers an attack. This may involve moving to another area of the workplace or leaving the workplace altogether. Staying in contact with the substance can be life-threatening.
If you have irritant-induced asthma, you should work with on-site health care providers and supervisors to manage the asthma. You should discuss avoidance of the allergen, the ventilation and respiratory protection available, and working in a tobacco-smoke-free environment.
Medical treatment (including antiinflammatory therapy with inhaled steroids, sodium cromolyn, or nedocromyl) may prevent worsening of symptoms at work by reducing the underlying irritability of the airways.
When it is impossible to leave the workplace, symptoms can be lessened with inhaled sodium cromolyn and corticosteroids. Drug therapy does need routine monitoring.
Peak flow monitoring will help you understand how severe your asthma is and what treatment you need. It requires maximal effort and motivation, though. Make sure you are carefully trained in use of the peak flow meter and committed to using this method to control your disease.
What About the Future?
Asthma cannot be cured, but it can be controlled by avoiding the triggers of an asthma attack. People with allergy-induced asthma should change their worksite altogether. People with irritant reactions may choose to continue working. For them, simple filter-type face masks will not adequately protect them from exposure to allergens. Air hoods that prevent them from inhaling the air from the factory floor work better. A helmet with a respirator that protects against dusts also works better.
Over time, industrial hygienists familiar with manufacturing processes and health problems that can result can help identify agents that cause asthma and find ways to reduce the effects of exposure. For example, they can help redesign processes that produce large particles that cannot be inhaled. This happened in the enzyme detergent industry.
Neighborhoods near some of the industries can also be affected by the substances that cause asthma. Redesigned processes to change the nature of the problem substances will help these people as well.

  Ever since I saw the 3DS at E3 2010, I have been buzzing with anticipation for the handheld. Seriously, the device does exactly as it promises, which in itself is an amazing achievement. I'm so excited, that at the age of 23, I'm saving up my pocket change to have enough to buy the device at launch. I'll be lucky if I can afford a game as well. Unfortunately, while we still wait for a North American release date, the Japanese can look forward to a February 26 launch date. Even worse, Nintendo has this semi-annual event called Nintendo World, a Japan-only event where they show off the latest games and hardware. Rubbing salt in the wound, Nintendo is showing off over 30 brand new 3D titles! Sure, only 15 of them are actually playable, and the others are just demos, that's a ton of content to let people play for a fresh console. However, trust me, this thing is hot, and knowing that Nintendo fans in Japan will get to play with these games before we even get a release date is a major drag. Mostly for me. Looking over this list, I do have to say that Paper Mario is the title that most excites me, with the 3D version of Metal Gear Solid 3 and Nintendogs + cats not far off. Of course, the 3D version of Ocarina of Time could be a goodie too. There are so many awesome sounding games! And I can't be the only one to notice that Pokemon Black and White is coming out not long after the rumored March 3DS launch, so maybe there will be some 3DS support inside?

It was announced before the show, but we still weren't really sure what to expect. By the time the Nintendo press conference was over and we got our hands on the device -- like everyone else -- we were blown away. The 3D really works and doesn't require glasses or any other kind of trick. On the right side of the unit is a "slider" which allows the player to control the intensity of the 3D. When the slider is turned all the way down the game downgrades to 2D, slide it back up and it reverts to 3D. Click the jump for a bullet pointed run down on all of the 3DS information. Read More
Excitement is high for Nintendo's new handheld following their spectacular E3 press conference.

It seems that Level 5 has pulled a Star Wars on us with the continuity of the Layton games. Miracle Mask along with Specter's Flute takes place before the first game Curious Village in a planned trilogy of prequels about sidekick Luke Triton first becoming Hershel Layton's apprentice.

Preparing students for work as
military clinical psychologists.
Military Clinical Psychology Overview
This nationally recognized track within Adler University's Psy.D. program prepares students for work as military clinical psychologists— in high demand for their specialized knowledge and approaches to working with the distinct psychological needs of military personnel, retirees, veterans, and their families.
Long marginalized within society, military veterans collectively suffer above-average rates of psychological problems, substance abuse, suicide, and chronic homelessness. Whether as civilians or commissioned military personnel, military clinical psychologists are sought out to address these issues in positions in research, educational and medical facilities; at military schools and bases; and in government including agencies such as the Pentagon and Service Headquarters Commands.
Responsibilities of military psychologists can entail direct psychological services and counseling for military personnel and their families, during deployment and upon returning to civilian life. Military psychologists also provide clinical support for those who have experienced injuries and trauma, PTSD and other psychological impacts as a result of military service. They also advance research and understanding on the psychology of modern combat and military operations.
Our students are trained as practitioners with expertise in assessment, theory, research, and practice by faculty who are practicing clinicians as well as leading scholars, researchers, educators, and advocates in the fields of military psychology and clinical psychology as a whole.
Our students are regularly named recipients of the highly competitive Health Professions Scholarship Programs offered by the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Air Force.
Curriculum, Practicum and Internship
Our curriculum examines the psychological impact of combat, war, low-level conflicts, terrorism, nuclear-biological-chemical incidents, natural disasters, peacekeeping missions, and humanitarian operations. Students are trained in how to manage the psychological consequences of these events, in addition to approaches for providing clinical psychology services in a range of settings including hospitals, nursing and rehabilitation facilities, outpatient clinics, and outreach centers.
Structured for completion in five years, students spend four years in coursework, practicum experiences, and dissertation, followed by a one-year full-time internship. Through an immersive learning experience and small, intimate classes, our students enjoy a collaborative professional environment and robust mentorships that contribute to their success—as evident in our students' most recent 91% combined match rate for APA-accredited internships and APPIC (Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers) member internships.
Our students gain their practical training and valuable experience in practicums and internships with the University's hundreds of community partners including clinics, hospitals, mental health centers, community organizations, and government agencies at all levels. They also engage with faculty research, organize programs with nationally recognized speakers, create presentations for professional conferences, and assist with academic milestones such as co-authoring textbook chapters and journal articles.
Admission Requirements
- A baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited US institution or a comparable degree from an international institution.
- An academic record that demonstrates ability to fulfill the academic demands of the program. Successful applicants typically have a grade point average of 3.25 or higher on a 4.0 scale for undergraduate coursework.
- A GRE general test score is required as part of the application for our Psy.D. program. However, GPA and GRE scores are only one component of our application criteria. Each applicant is reviewed holistically, taking factors such as personal and professional experience into consideration. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Office of Admissions to discuss their unique qualifications. The GRE must have been taken within 5 years of your intended start term.
- Practicum or work experience in psychology or a related field is highly desirable and is considered in the evaluation of applicants.
- The equivalent of 18 semester credit hours in psychology with grades of "C" or better, including the following prerequisite courses: general or introductory psychology, abnormal psychology, theories of personality, and research methods or statistics. Equivalent coursework in other social sciences may also be considered. Students may be admitted prior to completing these prerequisites, but all students must complete these courses by the end of their first semester of enrollment at Adler University.
- Approved applicants will be invited to complete an interview as the final step in the application process. Please submit all application materials to the Office of Admissions prior to the application deadline.

|Informative displays attract the attention of people attending the Utah Rock Art Research Association's 25th annual symposium, presented in Price.
The Utah Rock Art Research Association presented the group's annual symposium at College of Eastern Utah's student center last weekend.
About 150 members from across the United States were in attendance at the gathering. The 2005 symposium was a special event because it marked the 25th anniversary of the founding of the association.
The gatherings are scheduled at different locations within the state of Utah.
This year at Price, members were treated to four days of social gatherings, a formal dinner, business meetings, numerous field trips and several presentations by amateurs as well as professionals.
Speakers included world-renowned rock art expert Polly Schaafsma, Brigham Young University professor emeritus Ray Matheny and state archaeologist, Kevin Jones.
On Sunday and Monday, numerous field trips were conducted to places like Nine Mile Canyon, the San Rafael Swell, Range Creek, Quitchupah and Rochester Creek.
The research association is an organization dedicated to the conservation, preservation, and research of Native American rock art.
URARA president Troy Scotter explained that the association was founded in 1980 by a small group of dedicated rock art enthusiasts. There were 15 original members and Price resident Layne Miller played a key role in forming the organization.
Six of the founding members, including Miller, attended the 2005 conference and were recognized for their efforts.
Scotter said the organization was originally founded as the Utah chapter of the American Rock Art Research Association.
But the national association later decided not to recognize regional or state chapters. So the Utah group spun off as an independent organization and prospered.
Today, the Utah organization is almost as big as the national association. Membership rolls list approximately 400 persons. And it is a diverse group.
Only about one-third of the members reside in Utah. The other two-thirds live in places as far away as Texas, Virginia, Maryland and Paris France.
While open to all individuals interested in rock art, members include any anthropologists, archaeologists and other academic professionals.
There are a few other rock art organizations in the United States, but none as dynamic as the Utah Association. The group publishes "Vestiges," a monthly newsletter, and offers many opportunities for members to participate in rock art research. The group organizes dozens of field trips each year to destinations all over the United States. The September newsletter alone lists outings to the Arizona Strip, Pecos, New Mexico, Richfield, Utah and Bishop, California. Members also participate in scientific research projects in conjunction with major universities. In the past year, the group has helped to document dozens of prehistoric rock art sites in Range Creek under the direction of the University of Utah. Many members do independent research and present their findings at the annual symposium where they are allowed to lecture and have their papers printed in an annual report.
The group has also partnered with several state and federal agencies to help teach school children the need to preserve, protect, and appreciate Native American rock art. Two books and a traveling exhibit are available for teachers of fourth through seventh grade students. The books include "Utah's vanishing rock art" and "Intrigue of the Past."
For more information about the association, or to join, go to www.utahrockart.org or contact them at Utah Rock Art Research Association, P.O. Box 511324, Salt Lake City, Utah 84151.

JAY–Wednesday night was a learning experience for the North Country girls hockey team, as they went head-to-head with the defending Division I state champion BFA Comets.
Things did not go particularly well for the Falcons, as they fell 8-2, but they definitely found out what it will take to compete with the best in the state of Vermont.
"We have to play them once straight up to see how the game is going to roll, but from there on it is up to me to make it better," said NCU coach Claude Paul on his take of the game.

Antiscience legislation in Indiana
Indiana's Senate Bill 562, introduced and referred to the Senate Committee on Education & Career Development on January 20, 2015, is the second antiscience bill of the year, following Missouri's House Bill 486.

Antievolution legislation in Missouri
Missouri's House Bill 486 (PDF), introduced in the Missouri House of Representatives on January 13, 2015, would confer "academic freedom to teach scientific evidence regarding evolution" to teachers. If enacted, the bill would in effect encourage science teachers with idiosyncratic opinions to teach anything they pleased, and discourage responsible educational authorities from intervening. The bill specifically cites "the theory of biological and hypotheses of chemical evolution" as controversial.
Progress in West Virginia
"The West Virginia Board of Education voted Wednesday to withdraw changes proposed to the state's science education standards," reports the Charleston Gazette (January 14, 2015).

|Wilson's Creek Claims Another Life
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 03 September 2013 06:56
The waters of Wilson's Creek have claimed another life, as a Labor Day outing turned tragic late yesterday. The 21-year-old man reportedly drowned in Wilson's Creek near Brown Mountain Beach Resort late yesterday afternoon, the 911 call coming in at 4:52 p.m.,
but the victim had been missing for about 45 minutes by then, according to Capt. Larry Price of Collettsville Fire and Rescue. Search crews were at the scene within 10 minutes, but it was much too late for the man. Caldwell officials say the victim was from Guatemala and was at the resort with some friends, but the name has not been released at this time, pending notification of the next of kin. The man was found at around 7 p.m., and it took a number of rescuers to lift the body up a steep incline. Price said the victim had been trying to swim to the other side, but the current proved too powerful. He said a woman jumped in to try and reach him. Cpt. Price noted that this has been a particularly bad summer for drowning, especially in light the vast amount of rainfall, this was the third fatality in the area since July. Responders, divers and crews came from an assortment of law enforcement agencies including the Caldwell County Sheriff Office, the U.S. Forest Service, and Hudson Rescue.

Not one statistic says the Orioles should compete next year. I am absolutely fine with that. I trust DD and Buck to make the right moves in the off-season and I think Buck's superb bullpen management will continue into next year.
I do not believe the extra-inning magic will remain, but this is going to be a very competitive team.

Buffalo, N.Y. - The gas station that Frank Lloyd Wright designed, but never got to build, is now coming to life at the Pierce Arrow Museum in downtown Buffalo, being built to Wright's exact specifications.
The year is 1927, Wright has already built the Darwin Martin House in Buffalo and the Martin's summer home Graycliff in Derby when he designs what at the time is called a "filling station" which Wright plans to sell to the Tydol Oil Company.
The first station is to be located in Buffalo at Michigan and Cherry Streets with Wright hoping Tydol will then open a string of similar stations across the country.
At the time, gas stations consisted of little more than a pump and an outhouse.
Wright's station would be revolutionary with beautiful gravity powered pumps, patriotic red, white and blue hoses and a copper roof and poles.
It would also be luxurious said Jim Sandoro of the Pierce Arrow Museum and the man responsible for having the filling station built.
Jim Sandoro: "He put a living room in for the comfort of the women and of course in Buffalo it might be a little chilly so he put a fireplace in right underneath the gas tanks. And then he put a fireplace in for the attendants because now they were going from only being open during the day to open 24 hours."
Scott Brown: "Did he consider this a work of art just as he did his homes?"
Jim Sandoro: "Oh yeah he was very, very particular about anything he designed. When you look at his design from the second floor, our mezzanine, and look down at the architecture it's so fantastic what he designed and he was very proud of it. And that's why he thought they should have been built all over the country."
But as it turns out, Wright priced himself out of the market.
Jim Sandoro: "He wanted a $1,700 commission for each one that was to be built and they were only costing $1,700 to build and so all of a sudden it would have been about $3,500 total, so it wasn't worth it to those different oil operators."
And so instead of Wright's modern design, Tydol opened a bare bones station at Michigan and Cherry Streets.
Scott Brown: "He was notorious for his temper, was he bitter that this didn't come to be?"
Jim Sandoro: "He wrote some bitter letters afterward when they didn't build it and they built a skinny tower on the site. He over-priced himself and then was insulted by the fact that they didn't take it."
But now, Wright's filling station is finally taking shape, still revolutionary 86 years after he first designed it.
