The North Dakota Game and Fish Department will close the Lewis and Clark and Trenton wildlife management areas to night use, except for those actively engaged in legal fishing and hunting activities. Effective once the signs are in place, the use restriction applies from one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department reminds outdoor recreationists who celebrate the Fourth of July along any heavily-used recreational area to keep it clean by packing out all trash, including fireworks.
All garbage, including used fireworks, should be placed in the proper trash receptacle. If trash cans aren't available, or are full, take the trash and dispose of it at home.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department reminds citizens that possession or use of fireworks on state wildlife management areas is prohibited.
The primary objective of a wildlife management area is to enhance wildlife production, provide hunting and fishing opportunities, and offer other outdoor recreational and educational uses. Only activities that would not disrupt the intentions of how these areas are managed are encouraged, and a fireworks display is not compatible.
The next guide and outfitter written examination is Aug. 10 at 1 p.m. at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department office in Bismarck. The test is given periodically to anyone interested in becoming a hunting guide or outfitter in the state.
In addition to passing a written exam, qualifications for becoming a guide include a background check for criminal and game and fish violations; certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and standard first aid; and employment by or contract with a licensed hunting outfitter.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is moving the 2013 fall turkey license application deadline, originally set for July 3, to August this year to allow for a better assessment of the fall turkey population before determining license numbers.
The official date for the application deadline has not yet been determined.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department's Encouraging Tomorrow's Hunters program is a primary sponsor for an outdoor learning event in the Bismarck area on Saturday, July 13.
Put on by the Mule Deer Foundation, the MULEY Day Camp runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Moffit Gun Range. It includes rifle and archery target shooting, hunting and safety information and demonstrations.
North Dakota game wardens issued a record number of citations during the recent paddlefish snagging season.
From opening day May 1until the season closed May 19, wardens cited more than 170 individuals as part of an annual saturation effort in Williams and McKenzie counties. Last year the citation total for a similar timeframe was 82.
Failure to wear a personal floatation device is the main reason people lose their lives in boating accidents.
The National Safe Boating Council warns boaters that most drowning victims had a life jacket available, but were not wearing it when they entered the water. "It is difficult to put a life jacket on once you are already in the water," said Nancy Boldt, boat and water safety coordinator for the North Dakota Game and Fish Department. "The single most important part of safety on the water is wearing a personal flotation device."
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department's annual spring breeding duck survey showed an index of 3.9 million birds, down 17 percent from last year but still 73 percent above the long-term average (1948-2012).
Mike Szymanski, waterfowl biologist, said blue-winged teal and gadwall saw the largest decline. "Blue-wings are coming off near-record highs, so it's not unexpected to see the drop," Szymanski said.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department has scheduled an examination to select candidates for the position of district game warden. The test is at 10 a.m., July 15, at the department's main office in Bismarck.
Applicants must register to take the exam by submitting a letter of intent to chief game warden Robert Timian, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, 100 N. Bismarck Expressway, Bismarck, ND 58501 5095. Letters of intent must be submitted before 5 p.m., July 12.
Family fishing days return this month to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department's Outdoor Wildlife Learning Site.
The catch-and-release only fishery is stocked with trout, bluegill, largemouth bass, catfish and other species.
Family fishing days are Saturdays and Wednesdays through the end of August. Fishing equipment can be checked out at the OWLS Pond, located adjacent to the Department's Bismarck office, on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Fishing rods and basic tackle are available for use free of charge.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department recently paid more than $539,000 in taxes to counties in which the department owns or leases land. The 2012 in-lieu-of-tax payments are the same as property taxes paid by private landowners.
The Game and Fish Department manages more than 200,000 acres for wildlife habitat and public hunting in 51 counties. The department does not own or manage any land in Traill or Renville counties.
Following is a list of counties and the tax payments they received.

BIDDEFORD, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Hostess has announced it is shutting down its operation leaving more than 18,000 workers across the country out of work.
The move affects more than 300 employees at the plant in Biddeford, where workers have been involved in a bitter strike that started one week ago. It's a tough blow for the workers to lose their jobs right before the holidays, but many of them say they expected this. They say they swallowed big cuts when the company went through bankruptcy the first time several years ago. When the company filed again for Chapter 11 last year it eventually asked for an 8 percent wage cut and stopped funding the employees' pension fund.
Workers say they'd rather start over and find new jobs than to stay with this company. Union officials say from what they've heard the shutdown in Biddeford is already underway.
"We hear from the sources that we have that they are shutting down production in fact we're hearing its done and now they're beginning the clean up and prep process to shut the facility down", said Union Representative John Jordan.
The hope is that another company will come in and reopen the plant. It's fairly new, modern and has a fast production line. But there are no guarantees and everyone must now plan for the worst.

Taylor Tomasi Hill
- 1 of 12Hear ye, hear ye! Calling all fashion lovers because it's time for another another thrilling installment of Fashion Office! We've teamed up with our amazing talented friends at The Coveteur to give you a behind-the-scenes peek into the offices of some of the fashion world's most exciting companies. This time around, we're so delighted to feature the truly talented Taylor Tomasi Hill, Marie Claire's most recent Style & Accessories Director and now the Artistic Director for Moda Operandi!
- 2 of 12Top: "Tabitha shoe and Chloe bag. You can find both of these lovely items in the November issue." [Shoe: Tabitha Simmons; Bag: Chloe]
Bottom: "This is my third name plate and I just gave up when I told them my name has Hill on the end of it. I was married long before I came to MC, but my first day of work the name plate read: Tailor Tomassi. The second: Taylor Tomassi. This is what I got the third time around, so I just went with it. It gets the job done."
[Regarding the jewelry.] "While I do love a good bling piled on, I find myself taking more and more bracelets off these days. Too many people doing the same thing and it's getting a little redundant."
- 3 of 12Top: "These are my go-to vintage sunnies! The shape is great for a narrow face. I used these as a template for sunnies Linda Farrow is producing for my line with Lane Crawford. They will soon be available for all those who love a cat-eye." [Click here for a peek at the collection, which launches in January 2012!]

The mixtures of textures, prints, and bright fluorescents is just so amazing to me, I can't get enough. It's hard to save money for decorating my new apartment when I am surrounded by these lovely ladies all day!" [Clutch: Marc by Marc Jacobs; Sneaker: Giuseppe Zanotti; Sandals: Michael Kors; Bag: Balenciaga]
Bottom: "I think I am just drawn to accessories because I grew up in a children's accessories showroom. My parents owned the largest children's sales showroom in Dallas. I grew up surrounded by any and every accessory you can imagine. I was writing orders at age 10, and held the very important role of popping fresh popcorn for all of our customers."

My brother-in-law's girlfriend is so thoughtful and sends me these adorable cards which she calls "Tim Mail," we call her Timmy for short, long story. Anyhoo, they always end up posted at my desk to keep me laughing throughout the day."

This shot was when Sergio [Kletnoy, who assists Joanna Coles, Marie Claire's Editor-in-Chief] and I were playing around with the interns after a run-through. It can be so serious around the office at times, and sometimes you just need to take a little downtime to play around.
[Regarding the picture on the bottom, right]
Sergio is constantly trying to get me to pose for his column and clearly I don't mind the camera when I'm all decked out in any sort of "costume." The neck piece is an amazing brand called On Aura Tout Vu, which is a French expression meaning: "You think you've seen it all.""

There's no doubt that the college football gods were smiling down on Jean-Daniel Roussel this past Saturday when the Pawtucket native and St. Raphael Academy alumnus tied a Sacred Heart record with three interceptions in one game.
The feat, coming in the Pioneers' 16-0 non-league victory over Bucknell, helped Roussel garner plenty of recognition. He was named the Northeast Conference Defensive Player of the Week, with College Football Performance Awards bestowing their National Defensive Back Performer of the Week honor upon him.
There's no doubt that the college football gods were smiling down on Jean-Daniel Roussel this past Saturday when the Pawtucket native and St. Raphael Academy alumnus tied a Sacred Heart record with three interceptions in one game.
The feat, coming in the Pioneers' 16-0 non-league victory over Bucknell, helped Roussel garner plenty of recognition. He was named the Northeast Conference Defensive Player of the Week, with College Football Performance Awards bestowing their National Defensive Back Performer of the Week honor upon him.
Three interceptions … it's something that I've never done," said Roussel, noting that it's been 19 years since a Sacred Heart player reached such lofty single-game heights.
To strictly view Roussel's banner performance as pure coincidence or merely the result of having the bounces go one's way, it doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.
What this 5-foot-10, 185-pound member of Sacred Heart's secondary has come to realize is that athletic talent will only get you so far. In order to earn the reputation of a ball-hawking cornerback who can make quarterbacks think twice before throwing in their general vicinity, one has to understand the importance of due diligence away from the gridiron.
Going strictly by what took place last weekend, the promise of tangible results upon fusing these two essential pigskin components has blossomed into reality for Roussel.
"This year, I think I've been able to put both parts together where I can mentally and physically prepare myself at the same time," Roussel explained upon being reached earlier this week. "It's about becoming more mature, being able to understand the schematics and let my athletic ability take over.
"You can think that you're the fastest and the strongest. You can catch and cover with the best of them, but there's a lot of film that goes into becoming one of the best corners," added Roussel. "Every morning, the corners meet from 7:30-8:30 a.m. That's like another block class from Monday to Friday. I take five classes during the semester, so I treat that as a sixth class. Homework is always a challenge because there's always film to watch.
"Preparation is always key. You can be as athletic as you want, but if you don't know exactly what's being thrown at you, it's hard to stop it," said Roussel. "I believe what I've learned this past week and through my years at Sacred Heart is preparation, and that's going to help prepare me for life and everything that's thrown at you."
Roussel hinted at the scheme that allowed him to flourish at Bucknell's expense. With Sacred Heart featuring just two healthy cornerbacks, the onus fell on Roussel to make sure the Bisons' air attack remained stuck in neutral.
"This past week, I was instilled as the corner on the island. I didn't have to focus too much on the run. I just took care of my man," Roussel explained. "What my coach told me was to only worry about the guy in front of me. Cover him and we'll win the game."
The steps Roussel has taken to get to this point are a reminder that nothing is ever handed to you. Originally, he was supposed to take his football talents to Northeastern University, but those plans were nixed after the program folded around Thanksgiving 2009.
Thankfully, the setback proved a mere blip on the radar. In March 2010, Roussel announced that he was Sacred Heart-bound, a development that put everyone at ease with only months remaining prior to graduating from St. Raphael.
Upon arriving at the Connecticut campus, Roussel was told that he would be redshirted for the 2010 season. The following year, he found himself thrust into the starting lineup, a mere 19-year-old going up against seasoned players.
Roussel was more than able to hold his own, ranking second on the 2011 Pioneers in interceptions (three), with one of the picks returned for a score.
"The analogy of being in the game with the big dogs, that was really apparent to me that year," Roussel shared.
Far from content, Roussel continued to push his body. He finished the 2012 season with two interceptions, again returning one of them for six points. From a team standpoint, Sacred Heart finished 2-9 after compiling 4-7 records in each of the prior two campaigns.
The Pioneers improved to 5-0 after their most recent 2013 triumph. They will carry that pristine mark into this weekend's NEC opener against defending league champion Wagner.
"We're really confident. We've played against these teams year-in and year-out. They know your first name, last name, and what you ate for dinner. They know everything about you," Roussel proclaimed. "Conference play is a whole different monster, but we're going to treat it like each and every week is the same."
Roussel is a redshirt junior who is on target to graduate with a marketing degree next May. Whether he exercises his fourth year of eligibility will hinge on a confluence of factors.
"I believe it's going to come down to what's best for me in the future. Don't get me wrong, I love playing football and love the Sacred Heart program, but if the opportunity presents itself where I can get a Master's degree, I'll definitely think about pursuing that future," explained Roussel, adding that he's interested in communications. "It's more of a decision I'll make with my mother (Marie), and I'm definitely going to involve the coaching staff. I'm playing it by ear and whatever happens happens, but I'm just trying to focus on this season and make sure we continue our strong start and make it a strong finish."
Below is a list of updates of former area high school football notables presently making their way on the college scene:
-- Trevor Vasey (Cumberland/St. Raphael) is presently playing wide receiver for North Carolina's Elon University. The former quarterbacking standout and current sophomore has appeared in several games for the Phoenix, yet is still looking for his first reception.
-- Trent Vasey, a member of Cumberland High's 2012 Division II Super Bowl team, has appeared in two games for Western New England. So far, the freshman has hauled in one pass for 17 yards.
-- St. Raphael graduate Davon Robertson recorded a sack and three tackles in Harvard's 41-23 win over Brown last Saturday. A freshman, Robertson is listed as a 6-4, 225-pound defensive lineman on the Crimson's roster.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
When Terry Shaw placed an advertisement in the newspaper trying to sell an electric guitar and an amplifier, he figured it would be sold to someone who enjoys music as much as he does. Little did he know that soon he would almost become another statistic in a postal money order fraud scheme.
Shaw, who recently moved to Carbon County about six months ago, placed an advertisement last week in the Sun Advocate selling a Peavey electric guitar and a Crate GX-15 amplifier together for $225. He was contacted via email by someone named "Kerry Hunter", who claimed to be from Dallas, Texas and was looking to purchase the equipment.
After corresponding through email, "Kerry" contacted Shaw by telephone through a service called IP Relay, which is a calling service designed for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals who are looking to communicate from almost anywhere in the world at anytime through the use of a mobile device and/or a personal computer. Shaw had never heard about IP Relay before and after researching the subject more, he started to become a little suspicious of "Kerry".
"I was wondering what a deaf person would want with my guitar and amplifier,"Shaw said.
Instead of receiving $225 and money to cover the shipping of the equipment, "Kerry" sent three money order checks for $875.55 in a FedEx envelope to Shaw's residence.
Shaw, who works as a music instructor, was given instructions by "Kerry" through another email that he was to cash the checks and then deliver the extra money to the shipper who would pick it up later. At this point Shaw knew something was not right, so he contacted the Price Post Office and told them of the situation. Shaw was told he was the sixth person in the last few months who has become involved in a situation similar to this. He turned the money orders over to the Post Office, saying they looked normal and not out of the ordinary.
"They [money orders] looked very real and very convincing," Shaw explained. "If he [Kerry] wasn't so greedy about this, I probably would have fallen for it."
Aleck Shilaos, Price City Police chief, said the police hear about scams all of the time, noting there are many different forms and scams out there right now. Many times the people say they are from a city in the United States, but they are most likely operating out of an African county such as Nigeria, he said.
"The scams are very common, even around here," Shilaos noted. "But it seems like they are always operating offshore somewhere."
Local residents who encounter a scam, are encouraged to contact their local authorities. Shilaos said an officer would take a report and from there it would be forwarded to the federal authorities, including the Utah Attorney General Office and the FBI. But for those who fall into a scam and lose out on their money, the people who are behind the scam more than likely will never be caught and charged with a crime, he said.
"If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is," Shilaos said.
Over the past few days, Shaw said he has been contacted though IP Relay two more times, but has refused to take each call. While no harm has happened to him, Shaw said it was definitely a learning experience.
"I would be very leery of people who don't identify themselves and anything about a deal that seems unusual," he said.
Despite the scam, Shaw said the experience won't hold him back from selling anything again. But now, the guitar and amplifier have a better story to go along with them, he said.
"Someone will be buying pieces of history," he laughed. "The materials have good karma now."

Portland loves its culture—and loves that so many people
are also fascinated by it. But just how cultured is Portland? Turns out
just a bit. City Vitals 2.0 ranks Portland as the eighth-most cultured
city in the nation. (The study by CEOs for Cities, a nonprofit urban
affairs group, looked at the nation's 51 biggest cities.) The group
looked at how likely Portlanders were to attend a cultural event in the
past year as opposed to own a high-definition television. Portland
scored a ratio of 108—meaning residents are 8 percent more likely to
attend the opera or ballet than own a glowing wall monster. (We're
essentially tied with Austin.) No. 1? A virtual tie between San
Francisco and San Jose. New Orleans was dead last.

Did you have to set a root password when you setup the account? A lot of GUI login managers will disallow root access, but you can change it to allow it. In KDE there is a whole section for the login manager, and enable it to allow root. Of course, it's not a good practice to log into X as root at all.
If you did set a root password, you can run the GUI tool with the 'kdesu' command, and it will authenticate before it starts it.

Academy Director Travis Thomsen said parents and students were not notified of the incident.
"We didn't feel like we needed to draw attention to it because it was a non-threatening situation," he said.
Thomsen said the Ferrysburg charter school's policy for this type of situation is to contact police.
Spring Lake/Ferrysburg Police were called to the school shortly after 2:30 p.m. Tuesday after a teacher discovered the second-grader had the knife, Thomsen said.
"It wasn't large enough to fall under state-mandated suspension and expulsion rules for dangerous weapons," Thomsen said.
Those rules require the blade to be more than 3-inches long.
The knife the boy brought to school is a Cabela's multi-tool, with a blade less than 2-inches long, said Lori Spelde of the Spring Lake/Ferrysburg Police Department.
"It was not long enough for it to be considered a weapon," she said.
More details on this story will be in Thursday's Tribune.

The education technology firm founded in 2011 by three graduate students Dana Pagar, Kara Carpenter and Rachael Labrecque, is receiving accolades for a new iPad application to help young children learn addition. The app, called "Addimal Adventure", uses different games to teach learning strategies for solving addition problems. With the success of their first app, Teachley recently launched its newest math app called "Mt. Multiplis" designed to help struggling students master multiplication skills.
"Kara, Dana and I were graduate students at Teachers College at Columbia University. We were working on a research grant to develop math software, which was still a relatively new concept. As we worked, we saw a disconnect with commercial products and apps not coinciding with what research shows about young learners," said Teachley co-founder Rachael Labrecque. "We decided to develop our own math apps for kids based upon cognitive research."
Teachley credits their small business success to their ability to access start-up and development financing through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. Coordinated by the U.S. Small Business Administration, the SBIR program provides cash awards to qualified small businesses from more than a dozen federal agencies to stimulate research and development in the technology arena. The program was created in the 1980s and exists to encourage entrepreneurs to explore technological innovation; meet research and development needs of the federal government; bring private-sector technological innovations to the commercial market; and assist socially and economically disadvantaged persons enter this competitive arena.
"We were already working on research grants when a faculty advisor told us about the SBIR program. It was a lot different than university grants we worked with because of the focus on commercialization," said Labrecque.
Financing for Addimal Adventure did not come in one lump sum. Under the SBIR program, financing occurred in two phases. Teachley received their Phase I cash award of $150,000 from the U.S. Department of Education in 2012 where they had to prove the technical merit, feasibility, and commercial potential of their math app as well as show their company could perform the tasks to develop it further.
"With the award, we started working on Addimal Adventure with an app concept we had already started developing earlier. Our app was in more advanced designing stages than most Phase I products," said Labrecque.
Having proven their math app met the scientific and technical merit and commercial potential of Phase I grants, Teachley applied and received $900,000 more in funding under Phase II of the SBIR program in 2013.
"Our Phase II funding request was very strong. We had joined Socratic Labs, a New York City community accelerator focused on education technology, and that helped with the commercialization aspect. Working with a variety of business mentors helped us develop a strong commercialization plan," said Labrecque.
Teachley's Addimal Adventure app won a 2014 Apple Design Award at the Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco, where iOS apps are recognized for outstanding design and innovation. Last October, Teachley finished second, just narrowly missing top honors, at NBC's Education Nation Innovation Challenge. More importantly, Teachley has created four technology-sector jobs.
"We are working on bringing "Addimal Adventure" and our new app "Mt. Multiplis" to the commercial market. From January to May, we offered a pilot learning analytics program for free to elementary teachers using Addimal Adventure in their classrooms. Over 80 teachers in 36 schools in 12 states participated and we're implementing some of their recommendations for the launch of our Learning Analytics Platform for schools this fall," said Labrecque.
Teachley has another year on the current Phase II SBIR grant and expects to see the return of their commercialization efforts with the launch of their Learning Analytics Platform this fall.
Since passage the Small Business Innovation Development Act which led to the creation of the SBIR program, thousands of small businesses have seized the opportunity to compete for federal research and development awards. In New York alone, more than 6584 awards totaling more than $1.7 billion have inspired technology-focused small businesses like Teachley. These small businesses are making lasting contributions to the nation's education system, national defense, environmental stewardship, health care advances, and more.

Study: Poor Sleep Habits Can Impact Children's Learning
July 10, 2013 2:33 PM
ATLANTA (WAOK) – Parents who let their kids stay up late on school nights aren't doing them any favors. A new British study shows getting to bed late or not having a consistent bedtime routine can affect how well a child learns. Researchers at University College London found that children without a regular bedtime scored lower on tests in reading and math. The researchers think a lack of sleep may disrupt natural body rhythms in youngsters and affect how well their brains can learn new information.

Saybrook Alumna Marie Fonrose, PhD '03 Leaves for Haiti on Feb. 1902/26/2010
A note from Marie:
I want to thank everyone at Saybrook as well as friends who donated to the Saybrook Alumni Association to support my trip to Haiti. As you
know, I have been waiting patiently to go to Haiti and help the earthquake victims with the healing process. I signed up with so many organizations that I lost count. However, Promise for Haiti
(Healthcare, education, & clean water), a 501c3 nonprofit organization responded to my call to serve. For more information, please visit
As I waited to depart with a member of Promise for Haiti, Dr. Theodore, founder of Hopital Bienfaisance de Pignon, wrote an email from Haiti dated February 10, 2010, "We need Fonrose's help to cope with the post earthquake situation. She will join two other psychologists on site in Pignon. We have patients going into depression due to the earthquake."
As I mentioned to you before, if we do not focus on mental health issues quickly and develop a plan to address the issues; PTSD may become an epidemic and jeopardize the well-being of large segments of the population in many areas for a long period of time. People's grief is compounded by many elements: loss of family members in addition to homes and communities, constant anxiety regarding the well-being of family members, and uncertainty about the future.
My flight leaves on Friday, February 19, 2010. I will keep you updated on a weekly basis.

To donate money to support Marie in her work in Haiti, send checks to Saybrook University, attention the Alumni Association Haiti Fund or go to http://www.saybrook.edu/phs/support Be sure to designate your donation in support of the Alumni Haiti Fund.
Marie will be leaving for Haiti on February 16th for her first 5 week mission.
From Marie:
Helping people heal and find meaning after the earthquake (Haiti)
The purpose of this trip is to facilitate people in their growth to becoming healthy and balanced after this devastation. In service, my intent will be to serve the whole person utilizing an eclectic approach in the context of the culture. A combination of education, counseling (individual and group), spirituality, and sharing provides the opportunity to the growth process.
Action Plan
Phase I
Individual crisis counseling: Assists earthquake survivors in understanding their current situation and reactions, reviewing their options, and linking them with other individuals and agencies (church) that may assist them.
Group crisis counseling: Includes providing/facilitating support groups. Train leaders in church to lead their own group. Group counseling will be very instrumental in cultural context since many of the sufferers were not able to go through the process of burying their loved ones.
Education: Includes the distribution of psycho-educational information on the crisis counseling-related topics. Educational information may be provided will be provided via public announcement, brochures, flyers, and training to human services personnel.
Assessment and referral: Assessment determines the need for a deeper level of services than can be provided at this time. A list will be developed and shared with the larger organizations who will be leading the mental health component of the project.
Phase II
Assessment—Summarize phase I and develop an action plan to help address the issues that surfaced in phase I. Organize mass training so communities will be able to hold their own via group counseling.
Service—provide services to individuals who pose major risk (safety and welfare).
• Journaling/expressive arts: These can provide an individual with a sense of mastery or control over existing circumstances. This is particularly important after a disaster or trauma where an individual feels a sense of helplessness.
Alumna Sunny Massad, PhD '00 Releases New Book, UnTherapy01/29/2010
From a press release: UnTherapy Can Release Self-defeating Patterns
UnTherapy speaks to the hearts and souls of self-improvement junkies who find
themselves teetering on the brink of burnout as a result of working on themselves for years on
end. Self-improvement can be self-abusive because the constant drive to fix, cure, and acquire,
prevents peace of mind in the present, says Dr. Sunny Massad, a prominent psychologist in
Honolulu. Stressed but otherwise healthy people need to learn coping skills that traditional
counselors often don't have the training to provide. In fact, traditional therapy may actually stunt
the growth of individuals on a 'spiritual path, Massad explains.
Sunny Massad, Ph.D., originator of the trademarked counseling system called UnTherapy, is also
the author of the upcoming book UnTherapy: A Positive Psychology for Enlightened Living.
She is the President and Founder of the Hawaii Wellness Institute, a nonprofit training
organization in Honolulu, Hawaii, and has a thriving counseling practice. Massad will embark on a
book tour that will start in Honolulu and the Hawaiian islands in January followed by the Paciïfic Northwest,
the San Francisco Bay Area and then Southern California in February.
This is not your ordinary book tour, promises Massad. In addition to the book reading and
signings at each venue, I will provide a free one-hour interactive workshop, demonstrating
UnTherapy by using real issues shared by members of the audience. People will have an
opportunity to learn how to reframe their problems so that they can move beyond old habits of
blame and shame and other self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors. Massad says she is determined
to bring practical tools for increasing self awareness into the hands of the masses.

Trauma, Dissociation, and Intimate Relationships
A Special Issue of the Journal of Trauma and Dissociation
The guest editors are inviting submissions on the associations among trauma, dissociation,
and intimate relationships.
In addition to its impact on individual psychological well-being, trauma creates barriers
to healthy interpersonal functioning. This is not limited to romantic relationships because
intimate connections with family members, friends, co-workers, and community members
can also be affected. Given the importance of healthy relationships for psychological health,
it isimperative that research addressing these issues for survivors of trauma be made
available to the research and clinical communities, and to the general public. We
primarily are seeking reports of original research and comprehensive reviews/meta-analyses
of existing research, but case studies, clinical conceptualization, and theoretical papers also
will be considered. All submissions will undergo peer review. Submissions will be evaluated for
topic relevance, methodological rigor, scientific and/or clinical value, and
implications for application.
Complete submissions will be accepted until December 1, 2010. Please refer
to the journal website for specific submission requirements (including a
required author assurance/ submission checklist) and more information about the

This stunning watch is one of just 5,000 produced each year by the holy grail of Saxon watch making. Originally founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange, A. Lange & Söhne shuttered during the post-war Soviet era, only to be reborn in 1990 following the collapse of the East German government. The LANGE 1 was one of the first designs to be re-released, and features Lange's characteristic oversized date and asymmetrical displays, along with the groundbreaking mechanics and hand-finished perfection for which the iconic manufacturer is so well known.
Thanks to a collaboration with Finnish textile manufacturer Finlayson, influential fetish artist Tom of Finland's homoerotic macho men drawings now grace functional home products like bath towels and aprons. The napkins featuring buff sailor hunks make for a great conversation starter at the next party you host—and are so easy on the eyes. Plus, it's a happy reminder that same-sex marriage will, finally, be legal in Finland in 2017.
Tortonto-based graphic designer Marta Ryczko's side project Weekender Supply Co. is a treasure chest of feels in pin form, whether you're feeling tangled or abstract. Her most bold offering, the "Fuck It" enamel pin, lets the accessory do the talking when you can't be bothered. If you want another way to say it, there's an iron-on patch version available too.
Kickstarted into reality, SF-based Fellow Products' debut offering combines the best of two techniques—French press and manual pour-over—for a bold cup of coffee—without the sludge. Foolproof to use (and clean), with two removable stainless steel filters to catch any stray grounds, the Duo Coffee Steeper is an example of when great design makes for great coffee. It also makes cold-press coffee and loose leaf tea (the latter requires a different filter).
Case Studyo enlisted California-based artist Steve Harrington for the playful "Sincerely Yours" vase. Dotted with characters shaped like yin-yangs, the curvy vase is a delightfully light-hearted take on the spiritual symbol—yet also an apt one, as Harrington's work oftentimes explores the concept of balance. Limited to just 100 pieces, the porcelain vase will surely bring a little Zen—albeit whimsical—to any room.
Argentine game designer Fernando Ramallo and composer David Kanaga have teamed up to create Panoramical: an immersive videogame-like experience for Mac or PC where there are no rules. You're manipulating "abstract musical landscapes" via mouse, keyboard, even game or MIDI controller. Sculpt sound and space within 15 unique worlds through this trippy audio-visualizer to find a meditative escape or trigger a technicolor dance party—it's already being used as live visuals for shows.
Many might not know that Jackson Pollock, the iconic American painter, was also an avid cook (and gardener). In fact, his apple pie took first place at a local fair's baking competition, and it's one of the recipes included in the cookbook-slash-biography "Dinner with Jackson Pollock." From Swedish meatballs to spaghetti sauce, the recipes were pulled from handwritten notes by Pollock as well as from friends and family who spoke of dinner parties, beach picnics and foraging expeditions. The book sheds light on another dimension of the complex artist 60 years after his untimely death.
While it was made back in 1957 (by NYC's George Nelson Associates for the Howard Miller Clock Company), the Petal Clock is as beautiful today as it ever was. Inspired by a four-leaf clover, this authentic Nelson clock (now archived in the the Vitra Design Museum, along with Nelson's other inventive designs like the joyful ball clock) is a simple and bold piece of American modernism.
Vancouver-based artist Ben Skinner has a way with words—most of his mixed media art incorporates a special arrangement of them to make you stop and think. In his "Same Same" series, he finds humor and beauty in turning phrases like Tisk Tisk, Knock Knock, Yada Yada and Womp Womp into paired bricks in pastel shades and speckled textures. Use it as a door-stop or make it a trophy on your bookshelf.
Japanese streetwear brand WTAPS (pronounced "double taps") and sneaker house Vans collaborate once again for a limited edition eight-piece capsule collection under the vintage-inspired Vault by Vans premium label. The OG Sk8-Hi LX takes cues from skater Steve Caballero's own Vans Caballero (a 1989 debut), using the same materials of embossed reptile nubuck and suede in an updated look.
Two artisanal forces in New York—Calico Wallpaper and fragrance design studio Joya—collaborate this season for a trio of uniquely scented candles, each with their own handmade marbled glass vessel. Calico, though just two years old, has become known for its bespoke marbled wallpaper that functions as a non-repeating custom mural, and now their intricate marbling technique can be appreciated in this candle—filling up the room in its own way.
With 400+ houses featured across its 500+ pages, Jutaku: Japanese Houses is pretty big—considering its physical size is quite compact. Showcasing the best, strangest and most daring of contemporary Japanese residential architecture with full-color images, it's a hardcover tome that will surprise and inspire readers to think outside the "duplex."
Different than your typical U-Lock or chain, the Foldylock (designed in Tel Aviv) opens up when in use and, when you're riding, folds into a compact package that you can easily mount on your bike-frame or toss into a backpack. The lock is easy to transport, but doesn't sacrifice security: six hardened steel links (coated in plastic to avoid scratches to the frame) stand up to bolt cutters, hack saws and more. Note that it's a hefty 3.3 pounds.
Designed by Owen Osborn and Chris Kucinski, Critter & Guitari's musical instruments encourage play and experimentation. Their portable Kaleidoloop, for example, records sounds and manipulates them by altering playback speed and direction—so you could try to recreate that famous "reverse speech" scene in Twin Peaks, or beatbox up an epic percussive symphony to accompany your solo act. Composer Mark Mothersbaugh is a Kaleidoloop fan and demos it in a recent CH Video.
Nothing showcases the hue of an aged spirit quite like a decanter. Whether one wants to show off cognac, scotch or rum, the etched globe decanter from Bourbon & Boots delivers a worldly, refined aesthetic. It's composed of lead-free, heat-resistant glass and includes a cork stopper. It also spins on its base, so one can observe it from all angles with a simple turn. And as with most decanters, it's fragile and should be washed by hand.
Made in Melbourne, Australia, Retro Print Revival's Rocket Planters are a sleek and sophisticated way to decorate your house with greenery. Crafted using fiberglass, brass and Tasmanian Blackwood, the design (which is available in two sizes) is super-clean and inspired by mid-century modern lines. It's a welcoming home for a plant, hopefully encouraging a blastoff to growth.
Inspired by the late singer/songwriter Amy Winehouse, affordable eyewear brand Chilli Beans pays homage to her style with cat-eye glasses that blend the classic '50s shape with modern twists. Made from premium acetate, the glasses come in three colorways, but it's the speckled, multi-colored frames—with hints of turquoise and purple—that will subtly distinguish you from the crowd.

Point Foundation empowers promising LGBTQ students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential – despite the obstacles often put before them – to make a significant impact on society.
Scholarship applicants click Apply below
July 25-28, 2013 Capital Hilton Washington, DC
With over 170 registrants, the 2013 Scholar & Alumni Leadership Conference (SALC) was the largest in the organization's history. All new incoming Point Scholars were able to attend, and a record number of alumni, from classes 2002 through 2013, were also present. Our guest presenters and panelists came from many different walks of life and included the following: Point Leadership Honoree U.S. Representative Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ); transgender White House appointee Amanda Simpson; Smithsonian curator Katherine Ott and archivist Franklin Robinson; choreographer and nonprofit arts pioneer Jonah Bokaer; the co-director and producer of the film Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin, Bennett Singer; Bayard Rustin Estate Executor and Archivist Walter Naegle; HRC Youth & Campus Engagement Program Director Sultan Shakir, DC for Democracy Outreach Chair Keshini Ladduwahetty; HRC Chief Diversity Officer Cuc Vu; and Deloitte Senior Manager Kristine Korva, with fellow Deloitte team members Consultant Andrew Huge, Senior Consultant Alex Daly and Consultant Amy Clements. The conference concluded on Sunday, July 28 with an inspiring message to "Live in the Grey" from MKG Productions President & Founder Maneesh Goyal. His message of "love what you do, live the life you love" was an excellent endnote for four-days dedicated to exploring the history, mission, and connectedness of Point Foundation and the Point family. Additional themes of SALC included the role of the arts among the LGBTQ community, the importance of social activism and the many forms it can take, and how to determine an appropriate and rewarding career and life path. The conference was full of high-spirited conversations and debate that demonstrated the intelligence, passion and consideration of our diverse family.
In addition to our guests, Honorary Board members Ann Adams, Herb Hamsher and David Steward joined Alumna Michelle Marzullo, Scholar Jacob Rostovsky, Trustee Celina Gerbic and Trustee and Alumnus Diego Arango in a panel session entitled The State of Point Foundation, which was moderated by Executive Director & CEO Jorge Valencia. Trustee and Alumna CeCeilia Allwein together with Scholar Nicole Robert moderated the scholar and alumni joint panel session entitled Our Lens: Storytelling and Capturing Our Narrative through the Arts. Scholar panelists were Adaobi Kanu, Sarah Biscarra-Dilley and Jeff Sheng; alumni panelists were Naomi Jackson, Paul von Bex* and Garrett Zuercher. The Community Service Project Poster Fair allowed continuing scholars and the newest alumni class to exhibit the projects they dedicated their time and talent to over the past year. All-Scholar Training, New Scholar Orientation, Media Training for Scholars delivered by Stephanie Clark of Edelman, and a Board of Directors meeting were also vital components. The generous donation of multiple Xbox 360 + Kinect systems enlivened the Xbox Point Scholar Lounge. Congratulations to Scholar Noah Lupica and Alumna Lauren Beach, who each won a system to take home through two contests run throughout SALC.
The SALC planning committee of Board Director Brian Branton, Executive Director & CEO Jorge Valencia, Chief of Staff Nanci Glogauer, Mentoring & Alumni Program Director Darrin Wilstead, Selections & Scholar Relations Program Director Vince Garcia and Conference & Program Manager Chris Aguilar Garcia are eternally grateful to the Point family for its dedication to and participation in this event so key to our organization's mission of leadership development. And of course, we extend an extra special thanks to our generous sponsors who make it all possible.
Here are sentiments submitted to staff by a scholar and alumnus:
The SALC is my most profound and inspiring time with Point each year and each time I attend I'm reminded of how much a part of my life Point is and how much everyone here means to me. I'm so happy to be part of such a lovely family… I've left feeling so revitalized and cannot wait for the next one! - Point Scholar Abbey Muzatko
I have found my interactions with the Point Foundation some of the most meaningful in my life. I have rarely felt so moved, challenged, inspired, and rocked. It really is a family--and like family, it is full of characters. I leave feeling both exhausted and incredibly refreshed. Thank you for all you do. It means the world to us all. - Point Alumnus Chris Hanson

With BBC2 and Five immersing themselves in the font of comedy on a Thursday night, Mof kindly pointed us in the direction of Stuart Maconie's TV Towns. And for those of you looking for something a little more challenging, how's about a look at religion, specifically Voodoo, brought to you by Samuel Preston, lead singer of The Ordinary Boys? Currently most famous for marrying and now splitting from fellow Celebrity Big Brother contestant Chantelle Houghton, Preston (I never even know that wasn't his first name) is keen to flex his spiritual chops and introduce us to his deeper side.
It seems a shame that this religious exploration has to come neatly packaged with a celebrity in tow in an attempt to garner more viewers, but Channel 4 are keen to stress the singer's resistance to religion prior to production, and obviously they hope this will help ignite some drama. Preston's work starts in the UK, but before long he's off to the West African republic of Benin, where Voodoo is the national religion. Will Preston's journey help change his views on religion? Will it help us in the UK better understand Voodoo? And could it be the year's oddest coupling: a moody, Morrissey-wannabe singer and African high priests? I doubt he told them he was on a tacky reality show.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
A suspect who led law enforcement officers on a chase at speeds of up to 100 mph through Spanish Fork and Price Canyons has been captured in a foot chase after he abandoned his vehicle near the water treatment plants at Castle Gate north of Helper.
The chase began at about 11:45 a.m. in Spanish Fork Canyon west of the Tie Fork rest stop in Utah County. A Utah County deputy sheriff notified public safety dispatch that he was pursuing a vehicle that was refusing to yield.
Within minutes, the escaping vehicle had passed Soldier Summit and was heading down Price Canyon toward Helper on US 6.
At mile marker 227, about 10 miles northwest of Helper, the fleeing vehicle evaded spikes that had been placed on the highway, barely missing a Carbon County Sheriff's deputy at the scene.
Pursuers lost sight of the vehicle shortly after that. The vehicle was then spotted abandoned at the water treatment plant and the manhunt began.
Sun Advocate publisher Richard Shaw got a photograph of the suspect, who was being handcuffed on a road leading to building near the treatment plants.
Westbound traffic had been stopped at Helper while the chase was in progress.
The Sun Advocate will post further details as they become available.

Utah's fish hatcheries are getting ready for the annual stocking of lakes, reservoirs and streams for Memorial Day . By the weekend, most popular waters will be freshly planted.
Carbon County anglers are reminded to buy a 2004 fishing license, if they haven't already done so. Licenses and the 2004 Fishing Proclamation are available at the Price Division of Wildlife Resources office or online at www.wildlife.utah.gov.
Benches and Boulger Reservoirs - Both are ice-free. Fishing was spotty for carryover fish. Stocking is expected before month's end.
Cleveland Reservoir - The reservoir is ice-free. The north inlet and west shoreline have been most promising, although fishing success was sporadic. Todd Mumford of Big Pine Sports in Fairview suggests that anglers use corn-flavored PowerBait, wildfire Power Nuggets, or a straight nightcrawler for carry-over 16-inch rainbow trout. Trout range between 10-13 inches.
Electric Lake - The lake is open. Biologist Justin Hart recommends using dead minnows below the dam. Fishing was good near the inlet with Panther Martin lures or chrome Jake's Spin-a-Lures.
Several people have reported good fishing with worms or PowerBait. Trout are running 12-15 inches. Tributaries (inflowing water sources) are closed to fishing until July 10 to protect spawning cutthroats.
The lake continues to lose water at the rate of 22 acre-feet per day.
Fairview Lakes - The lakes are ice-free. Access is limited in shady areas. No stocking has occurred.
Ferron Reservoir - Access is still closed, due to snow and mud.
Gigliotti Pond - The DWR and Castle Country Bassmasters have finished installing a leak-proof bottom liner. According to the DWR, soil, rocks and trees have been placed over the liner to enhance fish habitat.
The pond will begin filling on June 10th, and should be full and stocked in early July. A special Kids' Fishing Event will take place in early September.
Gooseberry Reservoir - The U.S. Forest Service gate is open. The reservoir is ice-free.
Huntington Creek - Flows are low and clear below the dam. Dedicated Hunter Cliff Brady reported good fishing last Saturday for fly fishermen using elk hair caddis, pheasant tail, parachute Adams, and renegade fly patterns
Huntington Reservoir - The reservoir is ice-free. Brady described fishing as excellent last Saturday. Bait fishermen were using PowerBait and worms. Float tubers were using Rapalas and spinner baits.
Munford recommends a straight nightcrawler off the east and north shorelines. Last Sunday, Conservation Officer Stacey Jones reported spotty fishing success. Trout range between 12-17 inches. This lake has special regulations.
Joes Valley Reservoir - Sergeant Carl Gramlich indicated light fishing pressure last weekend. The boat ramp is open, and boats may be launched for the next month or so.
The best bait is reported to be chub meat or dead minnows. Aquatics Biologist Craig Walker recommends using whole chubs, up to eight inches long, for the really big splake. The trout limit is two; only one over 22 inches; immediately release all trout from 15-22.
Lasal Mountains - Conservation Officer Vance Mumford said that Hidden and Dons lakes are still the only easily accessible mountain lakes. Hidden Lake has offered good fishing for pan-sized rainbow trout. Dons Lake holds splake and tiger trout, but has had little angler pressure. The Dark Canyon road is muddy, but the lake is reachable.
Miller Flat Reservoir - The U.S. Forest Service opened the Miller Flat-Cottonwood Canyon Loop Road on May 16th.
Potters Ponds - The ponds remain inaccessible. The gate across the road remains closed.
San Juan County - Conservation Officer Randall Scheetz reports good fishing at Blanding 3 and Blanding 4 reservoirs with traditional baits. At Recapture Reservoir, fishing for northern pike was fair with spinners from the shore or with Rapalas from a boat.
Scheetz notes that some anglers have been catching catfish at Recapture with worms near the old highway on the Blanding side. Foy and Monticello have been good during the day and have been excellent in the evening.
Scheetz recommends traditional baits during the day and spinners in the evening. Vance Mumford said that fishing at Ken's Lake was good for 10- to 12-inch rainbow trout. Mumford indicates that bass fishing is picking up for anglers using plastic worms and small crankbaits.
Most bass range between seven to 10 inches with a few exceeding two pounds.
Scofield Reservoir - Jones reports that fishing success was poor, due to a huge hatch of midges, which cover the water and shoreline.
Trout have been filling up on insects and ignoring angler offerings. Last weekend, anglers used Kastmaster lures, Rapalas, PowerBait, worms, and marshmallows. Anglers are reminded that tributaries are closed to fishing until July 10.

Brian Bassett and TheJetsBlog.com
I have loved the Jets for a while, but it was a strange path getting here. As a youngster, I was a Kansas City Chiefs fan (Word, Okoye!) and my first football game was with my father and godfather [posts on TJB as The Ed(itor)], which was the game in which former Jet Dennis Byrd was tragically injured. I tracked his story of recovery and following his progress made this native New Yorker / Jerseyite become a Jet fan.
I was born in Morristown, New Jersey, but grew up in Westchester, New York. When I started this blog, I loathed my 9-5 job and had just moved to Boston, Massachusetts to live closer to my girlfriend (now wife). While I love the city of Boston, I was sick of the wall to wall Sox/Pats coverage of 2004, and needed a cathartic outlet, which is what this blog allowed me.
Since 2004, when the blog was lucky to get 100 views a month, it has grown to over 1,000,000 page views a month (April 2010) and we've had a lot of fun and made some great new friends along the way.
More than anything, this process and you the readers have taught me a lot about my favorite team, and I've learned through some hard lessons how to build and maintain a successful brand online. TheJetsBlog.com has been featured in the USA Today, The New York Times, FoxSports.com, ESPN The Magazine, Sporting News Radio, WFAN and more.
1. What makes you any different from any beat information gathering mechanism for the Jets?
Where to begin?
First off, I am and will always consider myself a fan first, before considering myself a journalist and I am proud to do so.
I am not a Jets 'insider' in any way, shape or form … not to say that I wouldn't jump at the chance! Most of the information that I gather is second-hand, most likely just like yourself. I do get lucky enough on occasion to interview players and such, get the odd scoop, but that's rare. I approach the team and informing readers from a fan-first perspective analyzing the team and the media around the team. If you have issues or disagree with anything I write or say, I'm glad to hear your thoughts.
Second, I think that chasing the same story day in and out and exacerbating the issue can become tedious for the reader as well as the subject.
Third, there's always something to write about regarding the Jets, sometimes one has to look a little harder or be a little more creative.
My goal is to try and find Jets information on the web and present to you it in a way that you would find entertaining and informative. If that gives you some time away from your daily stress, then my job is done.
2. Other than the Jets who do you like?
Unlike a large percentage of you, I am not a Mets fan. I am a Yankee fan as proud of the days of Balboni, Azocar and Hensley Muelens as I am of Jeter, Swisher and Sabathia. There was a time when I was a Knicks fan, but until they get out of their own way, I'll give them a wide berth.
3. What gives you the right to start a Jets blog?
Absolutely nothing other than an obsession for the Jets. We are run by me, Brian Bassett and a host of other fantastic writers. I cut my teeth with great friend and Celticsblog.com's Jeff Clark on a now long defunct project called SportsRant. Basically we were trying to do a blog before we knew they existed, timing is everything, I guess.
Bassett is ably joined by many other Jet fans. Our longest co-contributor is our friend Bent who is a Jet fan from the UK, along with a host of other bloggers.
5. Do you take suggestions from readers about player spottings, trade rumors, juicy gossip etc.?
Absolutely. Anonymity is guaranteed but if you would like your name mentioned, I would be more than happy to oblige. We also are happy to take suggestions from any information/articles you dig up on the web. Please feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
6. I have been living under a rock, what's a blog?
A weblog is a constantly updated website where posts are listed in reverse chronological order, so the newest stuff is always at the top of the page. Blogs are written not in the journalistic style, but more a familiar tone (in my case, sarcastic, hipster-doofus and uneducated/opinionated). The news is less the focus and the discussion trumps all.
