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.
People say that what does not kill you makes you stronger. Jacob Rostovsky fully believes that. As a transgender individual, he has encountered physical, verbal and sexual violence. Due to losing friends and family, lack of acceptance, and surviving hate crimes, Jacob was afraid to be himself. However, through all of that, Jacob has come out strong and unafraid to tackle the world head on. Transitioning through all this oppression at a young age has let him know that he can do anything. Jacob wants to take his experiences and use them to prevent other negative experiences for people in this world.Jacob attended American Jewish University, and recieved his degree in psychology. He hopes to work with the LGBTQ community, and start a non-profit group to offer support for transgender individuals and their families. One of his goals in life is to help make the world more aware of the struggles transgender individuals go through, and to help eliminate the bigotry the LGBTQ community faces. By participating in numerous documentaries, as well as an episode of Oprah and presenting at various high schools and colleges, Jacob is well on his way to completing this goal. He firmly believes that the only way that we can see a change in the world is if we help to create it, and that is exactly what he wants to do with the rest of his life.

|Postsecondary ParticipationAffirmative Action
Policies referred to as "affirmative action" are generally those in which an institution or organization engages in an active effort to improve the employment or educational opportunities of members of minority groups or women. Such policies can be implemented in a variety of situations. For instance, the term "affirmative action" is applied equally when referring to policies or programs that govern admission to education institutions or that impact the awarding of contracts to minority-owned businesses. On this issue site, however, affirmative action is considered only in the context of the education environment.
For the most part, however, the legality of affirmative action policies has been left for the courts to decide. The U.S. Supreme Court first attempted to establish the "law of the land" regarding higher education affirmative action policies in Regents of the Univ. of California v. Bakke, 438 U.S. 265 (1978). In a heavily divided opinion, the court struck down the use of policies that apply strict "quotas" on the number or percentage of students of a particular racial or ethnic background who are admitted to an education institution. The court, however, allowed the consideration of race to be used as one factor among several for the specific purpose of achieving student body diversity. Promoting student body diversity evolved into the primary rationale for affirmative action relied upon by selective colleges and universities and became the main focus of continued legal challenges.
The split in the Supreme Court's opinion regarding the diversity rationale and changing public attitudes towards the fairness of affirmative action policies in general gave rise to a series of conflicting appellate court decisions attempting to interpret Bakke and the constitutionality of affirmative action. The fracturing of opinion in the lower federal appellate courts meant that the legality of a specific affirmative action policy used to promote campus diversity depended largely on the jurisdiction in which a lawsuit was brought.
In a much anticipated June 23, 2003 ruling, however, the Supreme Court reaffirmed the basic holding of the 1978 Bakke case and held that colleges and universities can consider race in making admissions decisions for the purpose of promoting student body diversity. The ruling — which combined cases involving both the University of Michigan's undergraduate program and law school (Grutter v. Bollinger and Gratz v. Bollinger) — represents the court's most significant statement on the legality of affirmative action in 25 years.
The Court did not grant a blank check on the use of affirmative action. Instead, the justices attempted to provide a roadmap establishing some limits for how such programs can be legally operated. For instance, in its 5-4 decision regarding the University of Michigan's law school, the justices upheld an admissions process that considered a candidate's race, but did not assign a specific weight to this factor. The court, however, struck down Michigan's undergraduate admissions program, which automatically awarded 20 points to minority candidates. A candidate that achieved 100 points was guaranteed admission to the school.
The court found the Michigan law school admissions program acceptable because, although race was certainly considered, it was not by itself a decisive factor in gaining admittance. In contrast, the court found the undergraduate system weighted race alone heavily enough to virtually ensure the admittance of every minimally qualified minority student. What also seemed to appeal to the court was that the law school admissions process used a more intensive, individual review of each applicant's file that considered other factors in addition to race. The court rejected arguments that such an intensive review may be too costly or burdensome to implement, especially for larger universities.
The court's decision has had an immediate impact in states where lower courts previously held the consideration of race in admissions unconstitutional. And some colleges and universities have already indicated that they will undertake a more intensive review of each individual applicant in order to meet their diversity goals. The ruling will not, however, have any direct impact on the admissions programs in states such as California, Florida and Washington, where consideration of race in admissions was banned by either citizen initiatives or a governor's executive order.
Nor is the ruling likely to put this policy issue definitively to rest. Some policymakers continue to explore "race-neutral" alternatives to affirmative action, such as mandating acceptance into a state's public universities for a top percentage of students from all high schools in the state. California (top 4%), Texas (top 10%) and Florida (top 20%) have already instituted such polices. It is not clear whether these programs, which are still very much in their infancy, are effective replacements for traditional affirmative action. What is clear, however, is that the passion affirmative action naturally engenders guarantees that policymakers will continue to face pressure through ballot initiatives, litigation and proposed legislation from those groups who believe their interests have not been adequately or fairly addressed.

On the morning of December 12th, my aunt suffered a heart attack that nearly took her life. The attack was so severe that she was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance and escorted directly to an operating room. Following the incident, the surgeon informed our family that the main artery to her heart was one hundred percent blocked and expressed surprise that the attack was not fatal. As you might guess, this incident was incredibly traumatic for both my aunt and our family. Once things settled and we knew that my aunt would be okay, many members of my family were asking about prevention. What could have been done to prevent my aunt's heart attack? What can be done in the future to prevent another heart attack in our family? Health screenings available at local clinics may provide useful information about personal health risks and what can be done to combat them.
Practitioners have long urged the public to obtain health screenings designed to detect behavioral and genetic risk factors for disease, as well as the early presence of disease. But the utility of these screenings is not controversial. Rather, people pass on health screenings for other reasons. One reason is distress associated with the procedures or potential results of the screenings. Recognizing this problem, Bennett (2009) examined causes of health screening related distress and simple techniques for overcoming this distress. For example, many people hold misperceptions about the procedures associated with health screenings that arouse anxiety. Health organizations could correct these misperceptions and thus alleviate this anxiety by providing the public with specific information about the procedures involved through websites or pamphlets. The public could then test their perceptions about these procedures by comparing them to this information. Waiting for results from a health screening may also arouse significant anxiety. Some people may spend this time imagining catastrophic scenarios that could potentially follow undesired results from the screening. To alleviate this anxiety, Bennett (2009) recommends implementing coping strategies that facilitate emotional regulation. Distracting oneself with unrelated thoughts and activities may be one way to regulate negative emotions.
The thought of losing a close family member or friend to a heart attack or other preventable health problem is frightening. Health screenings may provide information about health risks and what can be done to combat them. If you or someone you know is considering obtaining a health screening, good for you! And if you are held back by anxiety associated with the procedures or potential results of the screening, remember that skipping the doctor does not reduce your risk. Try one of the techniques for overcoming this anxiety recommended by Bennett (2009) and start your New Year with a clean bill of health.

Men's Soccer Announce Seven Additions for 2014
OMAHA, Neb. - The Creighton men's soccer team announced the addition of seven players for the 2014 season, including two that joined the Bluejays this spring.
Head coach Elmar Bolowich and the Bluejays welcomed David Abidor and Lucas Stauffer to the team in January. In addition, Creighton signed Fernando Castellanos, Noah Franke, Mitchell LaGro, Ricardo "Ricky" Lopez-Espin and McAmos "Mikey" Paye during the spring signing period for the fall of 2014.
Abidor comes to Creighton after spending his first three seasons at Dayton. Standing 6'1'', Abidor will have one year of eligibility remaining. Abidor appeared in 51 games for Dayton over three seasons, including 47 starts. Abidor collected a combined six assists as a Flyer, earning an All-America First Team selection from Jewish Sports Review following the 2012 season. As a freshman (2011), he was an Atlantic-10 Preseason All-Rookie Team selection and named Dayton's Rookie of the Year. A native of Northbrook, Ill., Abidor is one of three Creighton additions to have played for Shattuck-St. Mary's Academy in Faribault, Minn.
The second Bluejay to begin play in January, Stauffer also played for Shattuck-St. Mary's Academy in Faribault, Minn. A current member of the US Futsal National Team, Stauffer was the youngest U.S. Futsal player in the program's history when head coach Keith Tozer brought him into the U.S. Roster in September of 2011. A native of Louisville, Ky, Stauffer helped Shattuck-St. Mary's Academy to the U17/18 US Academy National Finals in 2013.
Two of four Bluejays to begin their tenure at Creighton in the fall of 2014, Castellanos and Paye are midfielders coming from Tyler JC in Tyler, Texas. Castellanos was a 2013 National Junior College Athletics Association (NJCAA) All American. A three time USYSA (United States Youth Soccer Association) National Finalist with Triangle United, Paye was a teammate of current Bluejays, Alex Bolowich and Zabarle Kollie. That youth club team was also coached by Creighton head coach Elmar Bolowich. Castellanons and Paye, led Tyler JC to the NJCAA National Tournament Finals last season as well as the NJCAA National Title in 2012. Both Castellanos and Paye are native of Raleigh, N.C.
Expected to play the midfield, Franke comes to Creighton from Orlando City Academy. With six goals and five assists as a junior, Franke led Olympia High School in assists as a junior. Franke is already assured a spot on the U-23 Orlando team this summer as Orlando City will become an MLS franchise by 2015.
LaGro is a defender for the Solar Chelsea Academy in Dallas, Texas. The 5'10'' center-back has been a starter since his freshman season. LaGro has led Solar Chelsea to a fourth place finish in the 2011 National Championship tournament.
Lopez-Espin is the third player to join Creighton from Shattuck St. Mary's Academy. A forward at the US U20 National Team Camp under Head Coach Tab Ramos, Lopez-Espin is a native of Miami, Fla. Lopez-Espin teamed with Stauffer to lift Shattuck-St. Mary's Academy to the U17/18 US Academy National Finals in 2013.
"The Creighton Bluejays Soccer Program is welcoming an outstanding recruiting class. These student athletes will compete for immediate playing time and starting positions. Fernando Castellanos and Mikey Paye bring already valuable experience and athletic success, by having competed for National Championships with Tyler Junior College in 2012 and 2013," said Bolowich. "Mitch La Gro and Noah Franke are solid starters for their very successful Academy Programs at Solar in Dallas and Orlando City in Florida. Ricardo Lopez- Espin had a successful career at Shattuck St. Mary, Minn. Last month he was selected to be a member of the U-20 US National Pool.
Lucas Stauffer and David Abidor are already integrating themselves into the program, and will be able to participate in spring competition with the Bluejays."

POTSDAM First Crush Wine Bar and Bistro has changed hands, but little will change at the downtown eatery, according to new owner Geralyn Barney.
You dont fix what aint broke, Ms. Barney said.
Former owner Thomas M. DeRosa sold the restaurant to Ms. Barney in October, choosing to focus on his family and his other business ventures, Ms. Barney said.
He likes to move on to different things. Its a great spot, and nobody wanted to see it closed, so he encouraged me to buy it, she said.
Mr. DeRosa works as a surgical supply chain manager at Canton-Potsdam Hospital and is CEO of Persone Staffing, a human resources firm in Potsdam.
Ms. Barney was the manager of the wine bar and bistro before taking over, and worked there for the past seven years. She said she is happy to take the reins, and was eager to purchase the restaurant where she has worked for so long.
She said she expects it to continue to be a successful venture.
She doesnt plan to shake up what she says is a winning formula.
First Crush will continue to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, with Starbucks coffee during the day and a selection of wine and beer at night.
The store has been open since 2005, when it replaced Robinson Market at 32 Market St., and loyal customers return regularly, Ms. Barney said.
Were still very, very busy, she said.

Relatives of a Washington state man who died of cancer in December allege they were the victims of a hoax perpetrated by a Lewis County woman, who they say created fictitious online characters and promised to send the family $250,000 to pay for medical bills.
The family of 19-year-old Thomas Oliver Doty, who died in December, says Marci A. Rose, 35, Harrisville, was behind the deception that allegedly caused them to delay cancer treatment for Mr. Doty and may have contributed to his death.
Attempts by Johnson Newspapers to reach Ms. Rose for comment were unsuccessful.
Ms. Rose's involvement with the Doty family appears to have begun with her obsession with Johnathan Hillstrand, a fisherman featured on Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch," and a Doty family friend.
Using the fictitious name "Jonnica Ellis" and photos harvested from the Facebook page of Tracey Ann Thompson, a fellow Harrisville Central High School graduate, Ms. Rose began an online relationship with the star, the family claims. The two communicated via phone and through emails, text messaging and Twitter.
Mr. Hillstrand in July made a public video plea for donations for the Doty family as they were facing foreclosure after three years of chemotherapy treatment for Thomas. Adding to their financial hardship, the father had just been badly burned in an accident.
The family believes Ms. Rose saw the plea as a means to further escalate her relationship with Mr. Hillstrand.
Mr. Hillstrand is on his boat at sea and could not be reached for comment, a Doty family member said.
Thomas Doty's grandmother, Linda Oliver, said, "The very next day after the video, she sent yellow flowers. I was there the day (Thomas) got them."
The flowers, she said, came with the promise of $250,000 for her grandson's treatment.
After being told there was no hope for Thomas with conventional cancer treatments, the family had planned holistic treatment, not covered by insurance, in San Diego, Calif.
"We had no reason to believe (the donation) wasn't real," said Ms. Oliver. Their friend, Mr. Hillstrand, "is a loving, giving and generous man." Because of his connection with Jonnica Ellis, they didn't question the gift.
"Thomas was elated," Ms. Oliver said. "We had no idea (Mr. Hillstrand) had been 'catfished,'" a term used to describe a person who pretends to be another person online using fake identities.
Within days, Ms. Rose allegedly created fake documents to prove she had transferred money to the Dotys. They believed the transfer would take a short time to clear and waited.
When the money didn't arrive, "Jonnica Ellis" began a series of excuses, providing false documentation to back them up, the family said.
Fabricated letters from the bank stated the transfer would take seven to 10 business days. The family waited and the excuses continued. "Jonnica Ellis" blamed an incorrect account number on one occasion and an extra letter inadvertently added to a name a different time. She blamed the bank for errors and the San Diego treatment center's inability to accept her payment.
At the same time, Ms. Rose was executing an elaborate charade against Mr. Hillstrand, who, according to Ms. Oliver, was developing feelings for the fictional character "Jonnica Ellis."
On three separate occasions, Mr. Hillstrand went to an airport in Alaska to meet "Jonnica Ellis," but each time he was given an excuse for her failure to appear. Other meetings between the two were arranged and again, "Jonnica Ellis" was a no-show. Ms. Oliver recalled the excuses as an attempted rape, an asthma attack, involvement in a shooting, a car accident and an accidental overdose. They were outlandish and, by mid- to late August, the family and Mr. Hillstrand doubted the woman's credibility.
Ms. Rose, however, contrived an extensive amount of evidence to make "Jonnica Ellis" appear to be a legitimate person, they say.
She was friends on Facebook with Tracey Ann Thompson, who owns a spa in Watertown, along with other members of the Thompson family. By taking their photos, she created an entire cast of characters for "Jonnica Ellis." Photos of Ruth Thompson Shear, sister of Tracey, were used to create the character of "Monica Ellis Bishop," a sister for "Jonnica Ellis."
To continue her scheme and maintain contact, she reported the suicide of "Monica" to the Doty family and Mr. Hillstrand. She created a fictional brother, "Parish," to contact them. In online correspondence, "Parish" wrote, "Last Friday I watched my sister Monica shoot herself in front of me and my family is about to bury her."
An online memorial site was created to collect condolences and a slide show set to music was posted online, containing photos of Mrs. Shear. There were photos of Mrs. Shear's wedding and other family events taken from Facebook to create the tribute.
By September, the Doty family realized it had been misled and Thomas began treatment weeks later than originally planned.
Thomas's story made national news as his family looked for the person who had created "Jonnica Ellis." Thomas lost his battle with osteosarcoma Dec. 19 and the story again made headlines.
It was because of that publicity that a Florida woman, Amber McIntosh, decided to do some investigating.
The stay-at-home mother embarked on a mission to find "Jonnica Ellis." She collected information and created a Facebook page, www.facebook.com/WhoIsJonnicaEllis?, asking for help finding the person who tricked the Doty family.
She scoured fan websites of Mr. Hillstrand and examined the fake documents provided to the Dotys.
Mrs. McIntosh uncovered an IP address used for numerous email accounts and online postings. Using different emails, the hoaxer created fake business websites to establish employers for "Jonnica" and "Monica" to make them appear more credible. Mrs. McIntosh's break in connecting Ms. Rose to "Jonnica Ellis" was through one such fake website.
Mrs. McIntosh acquired an email address used to create the site, which then connected her with the real Facebook page of Ms. Rose.
Along with photos of Ms. Rose, the page included a link to a WWNY-TV 7 video containing audio of Ms. Rose speaking.
Mrs. McIntosh compared the audio to a voice mail left to the Doty family. She said she knew it was a match immediately.
It took more research for Mrs. McIntosh to locate the Thompson family as the source of the photos, but she notified them about two weeks ago.
"We were totally blindsided, totally in shock," said Rosemary Thompson, mother of Tracey and Ruth.
Watching the memorial video for "Monica" was "disturbing," she said. It was filled with photos of her family and her daughter, Ruth, who is very much alive.
"We're all victims here, but ours is nothing. It's nothing like what's been done to them," Mrs. Shear said of the Doty family.
Mrs. Thompson said her children were friends of Ms. Rose when they were growing up in Harrisville.
She recalled an event when Ms. Rose visited their home and, without permission, accumulated toll charges on their phone bill.
"We didn't press charges. She was a teenage girl. We thought we'd give her a break," Mrs. Thompson said.
At ages 20 and 23, Ms. Rose was charged with making unauthorized toll phone calls from other residences.
She pleaded guilty in 1998 to forging a Carthage Area Rescue Squad Auxiliary check stolen from her mother. She has been charged with stealing an ATM debit card from a relative, getting credit in the name of another individual online and purchasing $2,243 of merchandise, and using the name of a Pennsylvania resident to obtain cable and equipment.
One Harrisville business owner, who asked not to be identified, recalled an event that occurred approximately 13 years ago. A man who said he was from a Southern state entered his establishment requesting directions to the home of Marci Rose. The man said he had met Ms. Rose, whom he described as a beautiful blonde woman, over the Internet.
"From the information he was given, he wasn't describing Marci," the business owner said. The owner told the man, "This person is not who you think she is."
The man left, but returned to the business a short time later. He reported to an employee at the business that he had located Ms. Rose's residence. When she answered the door, according to the man, he asked her why she misrepresented herself online. She told him to "go away," shutting and locking the door.
In a phone call from her Florida home, Mrs. McIntosh said she was not surprised to learn of the alleged event from 13 years ago.
She said the Dotys have continued to be harassed online through fan pages of Mr. Hillstrand.
The Dotys suspect Ms. Rose is behind several other fake identities used to make online comments accusing them of receiving the money and attempting to defame the character of "Jonnica Ellis."
As recently as this past weekend, Ms. Rose, using her own identity, visited the Facebook page set up by Mrs. McIntosh and "liked" a link to a video about personality disorders.
Ms. Oliver expressed concern that her grandson's memory would be tarnished by the scandal. The family has shared Thomas's story at www.healthomas.com and is forming a foundation to help cancer patients who have a desire to seek alternative cancer treatments not covered by insurance.
As a result of the use of their images, the Thompsons said, they are considering legal action against Ms. Rose.
State police public information officer Jack L. Keller said he does not believe any laws were broken.
"There's no privacy issues with using photos from Facebook," he said. "She's not using anything for gain."
The lack of laws to stop this behavior has motivated the Dotys to do something.
"We are beginning to contact legislators to hopefully get new laws put into place on a national level," Ms. Oliver said.
They hope that the Thomas Doty Law could prevent social media abuse or, Ms. Oliver said, "at the very least, warn others that are abusing social media, like Marci Rose, to realize there are consequences for their actions."
"No one has any idea what we went through. Thomas deserves better than this," Ms. Oliver said. "All of this could have easily been prevented. All of this for the attention of a fisherman?"
She said the recent events surrounding Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o, who was duped by a hoaxer into an online relationship with a fictional person who then supposedly died from cancer, cannot be compared.
In this case, she said, a real person died.
"Nothing trumps Thomas's story," she said.
It was her grandson's dying wish to find the identity of "Jonnica Ellis."
"He said, 'We can't let Jonnica do this to anyone else.' We vowed to find her."

Nan Henderson, Psychology
Nan HendersonPsychology Student
We know how easy it is for children in our society to go wrong – but how much do we know about why they go right?
In the 1990s, Nan Henderson was asking that question. An M.S.W. social worker for child support agencies, she felt that there were many children she couldn't help just by focusing on the mistakes they made.
"Back then I was one of a minority of voices among psychologists and social workers who were saying that yes, children do have trauma and pain and tragedy, but there is another part of their make-up that we have missed, and that is their resiliency. Kids can be amazingly resilient, and that is what's helped the many kids who have gone through trauma and trouble to come out on the other side doing well."
How do kids become resilient? No one knew, but Nan was determined to find out.
Her search got a boost when she was hired by Albuquerque Public Schools to manage a federal grant to help find and promote the factors that keep kids out of trouble. Working with 42 schools, by 1996 she had developed a model of childhood resiliency and published her first book on the protective factors that keep kids from making self-destructive decisions and/or help them to pull out of negative life choices if they've already started making some. She began her own consulting and publishing company that year, and soon found there was a national demand from educators, social services providers, and counselors desperate to help kids stay out of trouble and to rescue those that were already struggling.
Today, she is working with the entire Pennsylvania educational system – along with school districts in individual cities across the country like New York and Los Angeles, as well as in Canada, and New Zealand – to implement programs that "build bounce-back kids".
She's also decided to go back to school to get her PhD, and she chose Saybrook.
"It's the best school I've ever gone to – it's the way education should be," she says. "I'm just sorry it took me so long to get to it."
Now a student in Saybrook's PhD Psychology, Jungian Studies program, Nan says she's found a strong connection between depth psychology and fostering resiliency in children and youth.
"In Jungian terms, when a child goes through adversity – and I feel that modern culture is adverse for most children – what they really need is ego strengthening and ego development," she says. "In the stress and struggles of modern adolescence, the ego takes an enormous beating, and Jungian psychology offers an incredibly rich series of tools to address that, so that their ego can develop and grow strong in ways that help them mature. I believe it is only through developing a healthy and strong ego that the Jungian goal of letting one's life be ruled by a transcendent Self, instead of just the ego, can actually occur."
She's also found Jungian studies at Saybrook to be part of a profound personal transformation.
"Jungian psychology changes one in such profound and wonderful ways.I have changed on every level since I started this program," Nan says. "It's not just an academic transformation, it's an alchemical transformation. I'll never be a Jungian Analyst, that's not why I'm there: I'm there to enrich my career, to enrich my personal understanding, to deepen my experience of the world. People from every walk of life, with many different intentions, can benefit from Jungian studies."
"Honestly," she adds, "It's really just a highlight of my entire life to have found this course of study under Dr. Hollis, in the larger community of Saybrook with its beautiful philosophy of empowering students, and then to be studying with this very diverse group of people all drawn to explore Jung. I just feel blessed."

DIGIC 4 Image Processor
With the EOS Rebel T1i, analog to digital signal conversion is executed by a 14-bit processor, which generates digital data with incredibly smooth tones. A feature that originally appeared in top-of-the-line pro digital SLR cameras, the 14-bit conversion gives incredibly smooth transitions from light to dark colors with far less risk of "banding." A sky at sunset is a perfect example. With this rich 14-bit gradation, the EOS Rebel T1i offers RAW images of the highest quality that can be processed with Canon's Digital Photo Professional software. Even JPEG files, which are always finished at 8-bits per channel, use the full 14-bit conversion initially to generate the best possible color and tonal detail.

I actually struggle with this quite a bit. So for me, it's a fairly moving piece. Somewhat inspirational, somewhat depressing.
I actually struggle with this quite a bit. So for me, it's a fairly moving piece. Somewhat inspirational, somewhat depressing.
If you have this struggle, and wish to break free, understand that you will face a wall of external criticism and self-doubt that must be broken through in order to take the first real step along that path. Every setback and difficulty will tempt you to abandon the plan and return to a safer place. Few people who love and worry over you will pat you on the back and say, "Don't worry, we're behind you." The opposite may happen.
Ever read about the Egyptian Book of the Dead?
In it, there were magical spells and incantations that the soul must utter in order to pass the tests that lead to the Afterlife and so on. There are monsters and demons, and a heart-eating crocodile that must be avoided. If one can take the path and pass the tests, heaven awaits.
In this life, doing what you love is akin to heaven, but there are no magical spells and incantations, and there is no Book of the Dead. You have to write your own, and you have to keep re-writing it to be able to keep doing what you love. Because there are lots of crocodiles that will eat your heart.
That's my only admonition. Good luck thinking it through!
On a personal level, I'm glad I did.
The question is: either/or, the correct answer is: both.
Money no object?
(ring, ring)
Hello, Paul? One of each in every color please.
If money was no object would you be an "owner?"
I'm sorry, but I just don't get it.
It's like asking "What if eating and having a shelter was no object" and then suggesting "live like eating and having a shelter was no object". You simply end up with no shelter and having nothing to eat.
Working for money is a substitute for hunting. Maybe you would like to spend all your time in your cave, drawing murals, but you need to feed first.
We are so lucky that we have only 8 hour working time, which leaves us with about 8 hours of free time everyday (counting 8 hours to sleep) plus free weekends. That's a lot of time to do whatever we want and we, in fact, have almost TWICE as much free time than working time (72 hrs vs 40 hrs in a week) with these numbers (I know it's not accurate, I just wanted to make it simple).
If you want to do something you can't make money from, you have plenty of free time to do it. Be glad that you're not a 19th century factory worker.
(furthermore, there are fairly uncomfortable means to prolong your free time, if you're not satisfied. Move to smaller apartment, so you can pay lesser rent. Eat cheaper food. Smoke cheaper tobacco. Drink cheaper wine. Don't buy as many guitars. Then you'll be able to work only part time and have even more free time)
Did I miss something essential about the video?
Love for all human beings is like listening to any kind of music. You just don't care.

What he's saying is that, in picking a career, pursue something you love doing, figure out a way to make a living from it, and you'll have made a better career choice - for yourself. I happen to agree.
He is NOT saying, "Do what you love and something good happens by magic." He is NOT saying "Don't bother preparing or being practical about how you go about this work."
He says, and I am paraphrasing here, that he has observed that people who do pursue what they love find a way to make a living at it.
I believe in the principle that if you love what you do, you don't mind working harder at it. And for the most part, hard work gets noticed and leads to financial reward. And you enjoy what you're doing for a living, which is a benefit in and of itself.
A person who loves, and is fascinated by, science makes a better scientist, and will likely work harder because he or she loves it, and be successful at it. A person who absolutely loves the law makes a very fine lawyer, and can achieve more - I've seen it many times. Same with many other careers. In fact, a person who works more diligently out of love for the subject does better research, prepares more, and can out-perform someone with more talent/smarts.
Take music as an example (since this is, after all, a guitar forum):
People who love music, and prepare for careers in it - and the field of musical endeavor is certainly much more than trying to be a rock star - have a far greater chance of making a living at it than someone who doesn't eat, breathe and think music all day long. I know many musicians actively engaged in making a living as musical directors, producers, engineers, session players, church musicians, composers, arrangers, orchestrators, orchestra players, broadway show pit orchestra players, and teachers...the list goes on and on.
If the goal of becoming a "star" is what one longs for, that isn't about simply loving music and learning to make a living from what one loves, it's about something else, isn't it?
Here's a good example: One of my close friends loves music with a passion, but hasn't the aptitude for being great at it. So he became an entertainment lawyer, who has gone on to do great things, not only for himself and his family, but for his clients (who include Grammy and Academy Award recipients), his friends, and the music community in my city.
He combined his love of music with his aptitude for law, and has a career he really enjoys. That's an example of a terrific career choice, and it goes along with what Alan Watts was talking about. My friend is one of the happiest and most fulfilled people I know. And he's become nationally recognized in his field.
Some people love business, and get a kick out of closing a deal. Some people love making guitars as much as playing them. Some people like healing the sick. I do a lot of work with video editors, and they absolutely love what they're doing. My brother is an artist, and he can paint until he falls asleep - he loves making images. He also heads up the fine arts department of a college, and really enjoys teaching.
The point is, if you pursue what you like doing, your chances for success increase. That doesn't mean you have to be stupid about it. It's important to be honest with yourself not only about what you love, but your aptitude for doing it.
Now the fact is that some people aren't driven toward a particular thing, and their interests might be family, or leisure activities, and just working to be able to do those activities is a great thing. I'm all for that. It's a matter of preference. The video's premise is not wrong.
Making work out of what you love doesn't necessarily make you hate what you used to love (and I realize you're saying "often" and not saying "always"); the way that usually happens is if you fail at it for some reason, and/or if the work entails something that you don't love along with what you love (for example, working with people you dislike, etc).
My own work involves something I love, i.e., composing music to picture, and something I'm not crazy about, namely, generating business for my work. I try to keep those activities separate in my mind. Therefore I can enjoy the actual work, and not mind the part about selling it to clients so much. It's a matter of keeping things in perspective.
So I've set up my company to work in a way that works best for me, yet still allows for making a career out of it. There are certain compromises involved, and that's fine. You can pick and choose the compromises you have to live with. Or you can change careers - it's not the end of the world when you do (and I've done it so I know)!

Hmmmm. where to start. I work, doing something I have zero interest in. Rotating shifts every 2 weeks. Working hours I hate. 40 hours a week? Rarely. Either working 12 hours/day or working weekends or both. So I see my family for approximately 1 hour/day during the week and 1 weekend day for 50% of my year. I've been doing this for 16 years. I was extremely close to making different choices(a long time ago) that may have led me in a different direction that I would've doing something I actually had interest in. I chose my direction and there are people far worse off, doing worse jobs for far less money than I make. My job, while not making me rich, certainly has afforded me a lot of nice things. I'm certainly not wealthy, my perspective might be different if I was.
The big thing that I took away from this video is to choose something you love, or at least like to do, whether it's going to make you wealthy or not. Why toil away at something you despise your whole life all for making money if you are unhappy all of the time? I'm an objective individual. I understand that the message in the video is done in an extreme, avant-gardist sort of fashion and maybe that's why you balk at it, don't understand it or think it's foolish. If I were talking to a young person that was "preparing for life", my message would be to go after something that will make you happy first. It's much harder to get out of a job you loathe later when you have larger financial and family responsibilities.

I see both sides. However, let me just say this..............That's why "work" is a four letter word.
Also, in the subjunctive case it should read........"What if money were no object." Sorry, the made me do it.
Sh*tter's full
After two years I became fed up that my parents had to support me, dropped the school and became a graphic designer. Again, I was VERY VERY lucky I got the job I knew nothing about and managed to maintain it.
Learning about the job (thus more or less "attending another school") ever since made me a pro. Not an artist, but close enough. The thing is... I don't enjoy my job entirely. I work in an agency, so I don't pick my commissions and have to do whatever I'm told. And I have to deal with some stupid people I can't tell off, because they are clients. But life is just like that and I don't care, because it allows me to work on my personal stuff (being my own boss) in my free time. Developing my art skills and playing three instruments in two bands, doing some songwriting. I, in fact, want to be a rock star
In some fields however, there are no money in. Some industries in some regions cease to exist. Sometimes you have to requalify yourself. I was kinda talking about what to do, when this happens - don't let any video tell you, that if you (for some reason) do a job that you're not interested in, it's a bad thing. It's not. You can always do, what your heart desires in your free time (as long as you have some, which sadly isn't VCHIZZLE's case )
Anyway, sorry everybody if my post sounded too harsh. I'll behave myself next time

Love for all human beings is like listening to any kind of music. You just don't care.
The 3-Mike-7 devotee.
Watching this video validates what my wife and I did with our 27 y/o daughter this past week. She was a professional basketball dancer for the NJ Nets at age 17 (they made an age waiver especially for her). She has danced since age 4, and has won natinoal competitions since she was a teenager. She has been hired by the industry as a consultant numerous times to teach the necessary choreography associated with a cheerleading team's routines.
Well..she graduated college with a business and nursing background and has worked for Ricoh as a representative, advertising agencies as an associate, and most recently as a representative of a managed care health insurance company.
All of the above, buoyed by my wife and my concern that "she should always be able to make a good living".
Well...this past week, we encouraged her to leave the job she hated in managed care...take a $10,000 pay cut....and accept the job for "Varsity" as a national sales manager selling cheerleading supplies to schools around the county. A job she LOVES.....and has always wanted...but one that we discouraged due to the "lower pay" (hey..it pays well...but is not a 6 figure job yet, by any stretch and we have always emphasized "be successful").
To make a long story short, you should have seen her face when we "gave her our blessing" to leave the job she hated to take the job she loved. Now remember..this is an independant young woman who has traveled around the USA by herself since age 19 on consulting assignments, been all over the country as an NBA dancer, been sent to the UK and India as a "dance instructor ambassador" and had amazing opportunities all her "adult" life. she is engaged, planning to get married next year, and has a great boyfriend who is a professional and a nice guy.
With all this...she held onto her old job just for our (parental) approval. I felt great when I saw her reaction to our encouraging her to "pursue her dream".
the video made me feel A LOT BETTER.
Leaving one question.....what if your "dream occupation" doesn't pay anything even if you become "an expert in the field and better than any of your "competition"???
It's great to be able to pursue your dreams....however, we do live in a material world that requires us to toil and work for our independance and privileges.
Unfortunately, we are not quite yet at that "utopian society" that the narrator of the video envisions when he encourages you to "pursue your dreams".

Simply that, nothing more. One doesn't have to live in Utopia to be happy in one's work!
You and I have emailed each other about my brother, who is a successful artist. Today, his work is shown all over the US and Europe, and he is in magazines, etc. Heads up a college art program also.
But it wasn't always that way.
Before going on to an art major, my parents discouraged him, and even took him to meet with an artist they knew to tell him he'd never make it in art! After college, he moved to then-developing So-Ho, and built himself a studio in an old cheese factory that kind of stank; it didn't even have a bathroom or kitchen, so he built one himself. For a while, the toilet was in a large cardboard refrigerator box until the walls were finished. He slept on a foam pad on the floor. When I went to visit him, the taxi driver wouldn't even drive down his street! I had to get out a block away. SoHo wasn't gentrified in 1974.
To make ends meet, since there was no market for his art at first, he and many other artists helped build out SoHo, learned how to do construction stuff, built cabinets, etc. He leased part of his loft out to art collectors and started an art storage business. He hung pictures for rich people who couldn't be bothered. He painted a mural in Billy Joel's bathroom.
But he was stubborn, had a goal, did what he had to do, and stuck with what he loved doing. The result is pretty rewarding, isn't it?
Not Utopian!
Bennett, you know my own story. What would have been your advice to me at nearly 40 if I told you I wanted to leave my law practice and become a composer? Or to my brother, whose artwork as a teenager was certainly not advanced, even for his age? What would he and I have missed out on if we'd listened to the doubters?
"Practical" is good. Not always the best choice, though - if you are driven, if you are that person. Big "ifs".
Now, I will say this: you have to be somewhat of a maniac, driven, even obsessed, to succeed in some fields. So you have to know yourself. And you have to be able to weather the storms. In fact, if you had a crystal ball and knew what those storms would be, life would be simpler, and you could simply decide whether you wanted to face them. But none of us truly knows!
We have seen lots of people with "safe" jobs lose them in recent years. We know that nothing is guaranteed for life. In fact, life itself is not guaranteed, we all hang on by a thread. But deep inside, we have an understanding of our human potential, and that will be different for every person.
So I encourage people that if they want to do something difficult, prepare well educationally, try to understand what kinds of difficulties there are in the field, be realistic and willing to accept those difficulties, but do what you really want to do if you think you can. And be prepared to work very hard; in my case, I transitioned into composing by working my ads at night, and law by day until I got busy enough with ads to leave my practice without starving.
As Frank Herbert knew, fear truly is the mind-f$$$er.

Democrat and Chronicle/WGRZ report
WEBSTER, N.Y. -A Greece woman has been arrested in connection with two of the firearms used in the Christmas Eve shooting of four volunteer firefighters.
Around 1:40 p.m., New York State Police, Webster Police and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives descended on the Alpine Road home where Dawn Nguyen and her mother, Dawn Welsher, were staying.
Senior Investigator James Newell of the state police said Nguyen was charged with offering a false instrument for filing. He also said a federal charge is pending, though he did not specify.
Nguyen was taken out of the home in handcuffs.
"She purchased the weapons legally, and they were stolen," Nguyen's lawyer, Dave Palmiere, said Friday. Palmiere said the charges are related to the .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle and a Mossberg 12-guage shotgun, not the handgun that was also in Spengler's possession. He said Nguyen doesn't recall whether she reported the guns stolen.
Authorities have been investigating how William Spengler Jr., the 62-year-old Webster man who set a deadly trap for first responders at his Lake Road home Monday, acquired the weapons he used to kill two firefighters and wound two others. Officials with knowledge of the investigation said Nguyen and Welsher were believed to be involved.
Several neighbors on Alpine Road described the home as quiet, but said there was constant traffic in and out. There were five or six cars parked in the driveway Friday afternoon.
Earlier Friday, Welsher's son said the weapon actually was stolen from Nguyen's car.
"They think they sold him the guns, but he stole them," said Welsher's 18-year-old son, Steven Nguyen, in the doorway of the family's Seneca County home.
In the doorway of a home in Greece, Welsher said her lawyer advised her not to speak to the media. "All I can say is, I'm being set up," she said.
In a voice message recorded earlier Friday, Welsher told a Democrat and Chronicle reporter she wanted to talk.
"This is nuts," she said in the recording. "I never supplied this man with nothing. My daughter never supplied him with anything. He's setting us up."
Nguyen said his mother was questioned by police Monday. She left her home early Friday morning and went to her daughters' Greece residence, her son said.
"She said she wanted to go up there before there was an arrest," Steven Nguyen said.
Law enforcement sources said Thursday that an arrest in the case was imminent.
Spengler shot four firefighters, killing two - Lt. Mike Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka - and severely injuring two others before shooting himself fatally in the head. The fire burned for hours unchecked because of the danger Spengler posed. It destroyed seven houses and seriously damaged two others.
Welsher and her son said they are former neighbors of Spengler. They lived at 193 Lake Road, which is one house east of Spengler's address, for about five years. The family moved to Seneca County last year, the son said.
Steven Nguyen claimed that at least one gun that belonged to his sister, Dawn Nguyen, was stolen from his sister's several years ago. The gun was taken from the trunk of her car as it was parked at the family's Lake Road home, he said.
"I think there was only one gun," said Steven Nguyen, who added that he did not know if his sister reported the theft to law enforcement.
He said Spengler was "nice, but he was a little crazy."
"He always had holes in his jeans. He used to come over every day to talk to my mom," said Steven Nguyen, the youngest of Welsher's seven children.
"I think he had a crush on her," the son said.

|Presley Ranked In Top 10 By TSN
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Wednesday, 04 May 2011 12:06
Appalachian State quarterback DeAndre Presley is ranked among the top ten quarterbacks in the nation at the Football Championship Sub-Division level by The Sports Network.Presley, a senior, who finished third in the Walter Payton Award voting last season, is ranked seventh in that top ten poll. He turned in a stellar campaign replacing the legendary Armanti Edwards, who is now a member of the Carolina Panthers in the National Football League. Presley accounted for 34 touchdowns last fall.
He passed for 2,631 passing yards with 21 touchdown tosses; he ran for 1,039 yards and scored 13 touchdowns as the Moutaineers finished the season with a 10-3 record and reached the second-round of the FCS playoffs before they were eliminated by Villanova.
Presley also completed 61% (210-343) of his passes, and he was only picked off seven times. One of his best efforts of the year came against Western Illinois in the opening round of the FCS playoffs at snowy Kidd Brewer Stadium as he ran for a season-high 264 yards.
The Mountaineers kick-off the 2011 season at Virginia Tech on Saturday, September 3.

What were your childhood fears and phobias? Mine were monsters under my bed and in the cubby-hole in my bedroom. I was terrified of the dark but my mother wouldn't let me have a nightlight as she considered that giving in to "silliness".
One night my oldest brother hid under my bed without my knowing. I was pretty young, probably 7 or 8. As I lay there in the dark wondering if I caught a glimpse of a monster in the shadows, he popped out from under the bed and grabbed me around my throat. I was hysterical as I couldn't see who it was, and of course thought it was either a monster or a killer.
I still have a phobia about anyone touching the front of my neck with their hands. It freaks me right out. What about you? Any phobias from your childhood traumas?

Controlling birds is a difficult task. Their mobility and high nests are a challenge for most Idaho people and businesses to deal with. Fortunately, Idaho Critter Control's experts know how to control birds, and control all of the problems associated with them. The secret to controlling birds is to deny them places to land and nest on and around your Idaho building. Another method of controlling birds is to trap the current roosting birds, immediately ending the problems they cause. It is more likely, however, that our Idaho experts will do both of these things to ensure that we can control your bird problems.
The implementation of these tactics will prevent many of the problems and damage birds can cause, including droppings, insulation damage, and disease. So call Idaho Critter Control today and let us take care of your bird control problems!

It's hard to know if Brooke Pia is contemplating what she is going to do with that big pumpkin she is leaning on
It's hard to know if Brooke Pia is contemplating what she is going to do with that big pumpkin she is leaning on or if she is thinking about what she is going to be on Halloween, but the spooky day is coming up fast.
Two of the biggest Halloween events of the year are coming up in the next week so little and big ghosts and witches need to pay heed.
First there is the Harvest Ball which is a benefit costume dance for the Children's Justice Center. That event will take place on Oct. 29 at the Elks Lodge on 100 North and Carbon Avenue.
The other event is the Halloween Spooktacular, presented by Downtown Alive during the day on Oct. 29. The event takes up the heart of Main Street and there are costume and pumpkin carving contests, games, treats, a magic show and other events. The fun begins at 11 a.m.
And for a scary time, go to the School of Screams at the old Spring Glen schoolhouse in Spring Glen. Starting on Oct. 27 the haunted school will start its stuff at 8 p.m. The show will go on each night through Halloween night, except Sunday Oct. 30.
