Recently AT&T had assured the investors that loss of unlocked iPhone4, or any such exclusive matter, will not adversely affect their earnings. Let us take a silent moment before we burst into maniacal, uncontrollable laughter. AT&T believes this honestly, and is not simply blowing smoke up and insulting its investors' intelligence. However, you can be certain that there will definitely be rough seas ahead.
Firstly, the iPhone has destroyed the market single-handedly in case of share of value. And in spite of android's presence on several phone sets on every U.S. carrier, over a year was taken before it had the ability of eating away the market share of the iPhone. Every iPhone launch bested the last, demand for Apple smartphones has been too high to be available in bulk and waiting times for the phone grew even longer.
I guess AT&T owns a C- in logic class. May be the cell phone carrier is forgetting the large chunk of iPhone consumers every year are mainly new customers (they are new users having switched from different carriers). The fact of a number of subscribers being on business or family plans might offer users a pause before they switch, but rumours regarding some Verizon iPhone are growing continually louder leaving behind many who still have not bought an iPhone as it is in the fickle network of AT&T.
Other AT&T iPhone users were extremely vocal regarding switching the minute it comes on any other carrier — fees for cancellation be damned.
The only negative that would have to be handled is the termination fee raised by AT&T just before the launch of iPhone 4 unlocked handset. Moving between $175 and $325 is nothing, but plenty of customers are nearing the closure of the contracts and might even be quite happy in paying the prorated termination fees so that they can grab an iPhone elsewhere.

Buzz: Wade Redden Will Consider Voiding His Contract
In the NY Daily News, Jesse Spector spoke to exiled defenseman Wade Redden who said that money isn't the most important thing and that refusing an assignment back to Hartford, which would give the Rangers a choice to void his contract, is an option.
Redden also spoke of his other options which include returning to Hartford or being loaded to Europe.
…I think this will happen but as Redden says in the article, it is a lot of money to walk away from. He has made half the money on his contract and that is more than enough for him to live on and if he were to do this, I think he could sign for $1-2 million somewhere else. The biggest reason I think this will happen is because of Redden's newborn daughter. Going to Europe doesn't seem ideal with that situation.
This was first written about back in October. Click HERE and HERE to see pictures of Redden in Hartford. Click HERE for all mentions of Redden, including his role as a mentor in Hartford.

Colville High senior middle linebacker Alex Pond has been named to the 2011 Associated Press Washington All-State football team (Class 1A).
The teams (4A, 3A, 2A, 1A, 2B, 1B) are annually voted on by writers and editors from around the state.
Pond, named in the fall as the Northeast A League Co-Most Valuable Player on Defense, helped lead the Indians to a second straight Northeast A League championship. Colville finished 6-5 and made the state 1A playoffs.
The 6-5, 220-pounder led the Indians in tackles this fall with 108 (sixth best all-time). He had three fumble recoveries, one interception and blocked three kicks. Of those 108 tackles, 32 of them were solo. He also scored Colville's only defensive touchdown of the season.
Standout athlete
A tight end on offense who also got some early-season reps at quarterback, Pond scored four offensive touchdowns.
The standout three-sport athlete is a four-year starter on the CHS boy's basketball team and one of the top javelin throwers at the 1A level.
Pond hopes he can play at the next level. That's the goal.
"I'd like to play (football) in college," Pond said on Monday before he joined the basketball team for a practice session. "I know I can play somewhere. I just don't have a clue where at this point."
Pond says he much prefers playing defense.
"I like hitting people," says Pond.
Downhill fast
Yes, Pond, who figures he's probably best "at getting downhill quick and making my reads," offered that linebacker' punch line with a smile.
Pond figures until CHS defensive coordinator Bill Carpenter interceded a couple of years back, he was destined to be a defensive end. D-end is where Pond might find himself in college.
That would be okay. It would mean that his dream of playing college football had been realized.
On a mostly inexperienced team this fall, Pond knew he had to lead Colville's defense on the field. But he also had to assume a leadership role as one of the team's few seniors. That was a new responsibility, but one he embraced.
"I never really had to do that before," Pond concedes. "We always had leaders. "But I don't mind. I like to lead by example."
While the 2010 team rolled through the season unbeaten before losing in the first round of playoffs to Cashmere, a profoundly inexperienced 2011 team wasn't really expected to accomplish much.
After an ugly start, Pond and his teammates improved enough to annex a second straight Northeast A League title and won a playoff game before losing late to Royal.
Chances are, the 2011 football season will be one that CHS players and coaches remember fondly for a long time. Much was accomplished—little was expected.
"After those first few games, it was really satisfying to get as far as we did with what we had," Pond says.
Coach Carpenter knows that Pond has the skill set—and the frame—to play somewhere in college.
"He's a great athlete who has strength and speed to go with that size," Carpenter said, adding that "for a big guy…for him to play linebacker…we thought was kind of a stretch because of his height and pad levels.
"But he's a natural (at linebacker). Alex has a great nose for the ball and he did a great job. He was our leader."
For Carpenter's money, Pond hasn't come close to reaching his potential as a football player yet.
"He hasn't even hit the tip of the iceberg as far as his potential goes," Carpenter said. "He can easily put on 20 to 25 pounds—and he can play tight end or even tackle. He has that kind of body."

- Connect with the country's culture as you listen to a local storyteller weave tales about Moroccan history and heritage at Jamaa El Fna in Marrakesh, a lively square bustling with storytellers and entertainers galore

We've given British tastemakers lots of love this month-but can you blame us? The UK is responsible for producing some of the most talented and uber-stylish ladies around, an ever-expanding list that includes our January Girl of the Month, Juno Temple! Charming Hollywood since the tender age of fifteen with roles in Atonement and Notes on a Scandal, Temple has gone on to star in a slew of must-see indie films (like Little Birds with Kate Bosworth, which comes out this summer) and has buzz-worthy projects in the works (including The Dark Knight Rises and the currently-shooting Lovelace). Style-wise, we've found Temple equally exciting! Much like her infamous curly blonde locks, her sartorial sensibilities are fearless and untamed, leading us to safely assume she'll be this year's cool girl, both on and off the silver screen!
As you've most likely gathered by now, Temple has a diverse and quirky approach to fashion, rotating between playful, girly frocks and edgy ensembles with a downtown insouciance. In regards to the former, we're crazy about the Mulberry denim dress-specifically, the Bow Back Gems Dress ($1000)-she wore to a party celebrating the British brand's S/S 12 collection in Los Angeles last month (top, right). Studded with multi-colored gems, the frock has a touch of youthful charm befitting of our GOTM, while her chunky black platforms and Mulberry Travel Day Bag ($1750) in Shiny Oak ground the whole look.
In addition to Temple's fun and feminine looks, we're also fans of her daring, tough-girl ensembles. Praise is certainly in order for the getup she assembled for the Los Angeles premiere of Sucker Punch early last year. We love that the starlet didn't play it safe on the red carpet, opting for a revealing sheer lace top and leather pants combo in lieu of a fancy dress (bottom, right). However, it was the way she expertly layered the boudoir-inspired top with a long wool coat that gave the outfit its cool, nonchalant appeal. Speaking of Temple's smart styling skills, we'd also like to point out her ability to execute the latest trends in noteworthy ways. For example, at a video game launch party in Los Angeles last year, Temple selected a classic khaki trench coat, which she made her own by knotting the belt and adding a few edgy touches, including a studded bag and chunky Mary Jane platforms (center).
Fortunately for you, dear readers, Temple's spunky style is easy to attain, especially since we've done all the hard work for you! From a knockout neon frock to an adorable polka-dot bag, today's selection of fashion and beauty items are not only completely on trend, but also perfectly embody Temple's free spirit and playful fashion sense.
Tibi Katya Lace ¾ Sleeve Top ($265) in Cobalt
If you asked us to describe the ideal top for Temple, we have a feeling it would look a lot like this one by Tibi. She'd get a kick out of the vibrant cobalt blue color, but we imagine she'd appreciate the girly, delicate lace overlay and semi-sheer neckline too. While we envision Temple wearing this top with a pair of leather pants and sturdy ankle boots, it would look just as memorable styled with a pleated skirt and t-strap heels.
Forever 21 Trench Coat ($33) in Khaki
Not only is the trench one of Temple's beloved wardrobe staples, it also happens to be one of the most in-demand outerwear options right now-all the more reason to pick up Forever 21's affordable and super-stylish version today! Featuring all the elements of a classic trench, we have a hunch this will become a closet go-to for many years!
M.A.C. Cosmetics Iris Apfel Collection Lipstick ($15) in Scarlet Ibis
Though Temple typically goes for an au natural beauty look, she's never without a perfectly-pink pout. As such, our next curated pick is a new and noteworthy hue from M.A.C.'s Iris Apfel collection-a similarly bold and eclectic woman. This creamy, orange-red lipstick will provide a splendid Temple-inspired pop of color to any look.
H&M Neon Dress ($60, 310.855.9683)
Thanks to its standout neon green hue and party-perfect silhouette, this dress practically screams Temple! Hitting stores mid-February, consider it an excellent transition piece and a foolproof way to amp up your wardrobe. Our styling advice: Imitate Temple and wear it now with opaque tights and chunky platforms, then come spring, style the frock with a pair of equally bright sandals for a high-impact look!
H&M Sunglasses ($13, 310.855.9683)
We firmly stand by the belief that a girl can never own too many sunglasses, which is why we couldn't resist including this pair from H&M. The beloved retailer must have had Temple in mind when designing these super cool shades, which boast an unexpected pale bone color, modern shape, and fun neon orange rim.
BCBGeneration Stevie Platforms ($118) in Black
We can't think of a more fitting pair of shoes for our sprightly GOTM than BCBGeneration's Stevie Platforms. Combining the youthfulness of Mary Janes with the edginess of a '90s-inspired platform, these heels demand attention in all the right ways, just like Temple.
BB Dakota Veda Skirt ($70) in Black
Considering Temple's easygoing aesthetic, BB Dakota's Veda Skirt seems like a natural pick for the starlet. For starters, the elastic waistline lends itself to a comfortable, throw-on-and-go look, plus the asymmetrical hemline gives it a cool, modern look perfect for showing off a killer pair of heels!
Marc by Marc Jacobs Dotty Snake Lil Ukita Bag ($298) in Linen Dot Multi
Of all the fun carriers to choose from for today's story, we hit the nail on the head with this cheeky Marc by Marc Jacobs bag! Our GOTM would undoubtedly find its quirky polka-dot print and relaxed, slouchy shape attractive. Bonus: Its detachable shoulder strap allows it to function as either a small shoulder bag or an on-the-go satchel!

If you have been watching the new season of reality show The Bachelorette(don't lie, I am sure you have), you know that in just a few episodes it has become clear that this season is rife with drama for the male contestants vying for Ali Fedotowsky's attention. Much of the show relies on gossip about other contestants to the camera. Recently, gossiping about male rivals to Ali herself has been more evident. Furthermore, alliances are being formed with certain contestants being ostracized from the group because of damaging stories regarding their personal motives being spread through between-contestant gossip.
Evolutionary psychologists have long been interested in the evolutionary purpose of spreading gossip. Some researchers suggest that it may be a strategy for improving one's status. In one study, researchers looked at the type of gossip people are more likely to spread and to whom. Not surprisingly negative stories are more likely to be spread when they are about rivals but positive stories are more for allies. You are least likely to spread a positive story about a rival and men are more likely to gossip with romantic partners than male friends. Also, the researchers found that certain information (sex and health topics in particular) about romantic partners is considered more worth "spreading " than other types of gossip. Negative and particularly damaging information was considered the most juicy gossip when it concerned same-sex rivals (for both genders). According to the researchers, through gossip, we build our alliances and knock down our competition by spreading negative information about our rivals and building up our own "team's" reputation by promoting positive stories about friends.
So, the men on the Bachelorette are not just gossiping for the entertainment value of reality TV. Instead, they are using gossip to promote their own agenda with the other men (by creating alliances which will probably allow them more access to future gossip). Then they use gossip to improve their chances with Ali by letting her in on all the dirty news about the competition.

Music Editor Casey Jarman's top 15 local albums of the year.
This was the year Portland came face-to-face with its blossoming, narrowly defined international reputation for "keeping it weird." Portland then slouched, dropped its head and let out a long sigh of defeat. We're not all underemployed artisan cheesemakers who moonlight in tall-bike polo leagues, but damn if everybody's not in a band. And while the local indie-rock world's prevailing winds aren't too far off the national average—with many of our fine local groups producing rock of the dreamy, spacey, electronic variety—many of Portland's metal and experimental artists are gaining national acclaim for making masterful music that resides right on the edge of accessibility.
My tastes, however, run a bit palatable. I hope you find something you like here, but if not—try turning the page. Oh, and happy new year.
15. Tony Ozier, BeatsGalore
The multi-instrumentalist at the center of Portland's fast-rising R&B and funk worlds surprises with a top-notch beat collection.
14. Dolorean, The Unfazed
If Al James had been born 30 years earlier, he'd be a widely heralded national treasure.
13. Talkdemonic, Ruins
A rejuvenated Talkdemonic drops an epic disc full of avant beats and distorted soundscapes.
12. Starfucker, Reptilians
A grower, to be sure, but there's a five-song stretch toward the beginning of the disc that is, in itself, better than most records I heard this year.
11. Cloudy October, The Metal Jerk
A smart and occasionally challenging second disc from an MC who is perhaps more Portland than Portland.
10. Unknown Mortal Orchestra (self-titled)
If I didn't desperately miss UMO godhead Ruben Nielsen's incredible punk band, the Mint Chicks, this one might have topped my list.
9. AgesandAges, Alright You Restless
Churchy harmonies and Southern rock riffs will always steal my heart, but Tim Perry's great songwriting really made this a Shinsian local classic-to-be.
8. Nurses, Dracula
Probably the consensus favorite local indie-pop album of the year, and for very good reason. Nurses is bright, unique and pretty fucking strange.
7. Serge Severe, Back on My Rhymes
It's hard to do throwback, DJ Premier-style hip-hop any better than this.
6. Typhoon, A New Kind of House
A well-built and haunting collection that expands Typhoon's already loaded sonic playbook.
5. Your Rival, Seven Sparkling Children EP
A fine combination of quirky songwriting and twee-punk energy from this up-and-coming trio.
4. Deelay Ceelay, Sunset Drumsets
After an extended hiatus, drum 'n' laptops duo Deelay Ceelay returned to drop an album just as colorful and explosive as its multimedia productions.
3. Radiation City, The Hands That Take You
I don't think a better-sounding disc dropped all year than this one from Radiation City, the dream-pop outfit that will probably have my top Best New Band vote next year.
2. St. Even, Spirit Animal
The more time I spend with this gorgeous, whip-smart collection of puzzle songs from the vastly underrated Steve Hefter, the more I love it. "Long Distance Call," in particular, is a generation-defining song.
1. Illmaculate and G_Force, The Green Tape
An ambitious, free download EP that showcases the smoother and more introspective side of decorated local battle MC Illmaculate, who is poised for a long-rumored breakout year in 2012.
The Rest Of The Best Albums Of 2011
Well, we put our heads together, and this
is what we came up with. Not a complete list, to be sure, but a
collection of our favorite local and national music of the year.
By EMILEE BOOHER, NATHAN CARSON, DEVAN COOK, JONATHAN FROCHTZWAJG, ROBERT HAM, ARYA IMIG, REED JACKSON, CASEY JARMAN, AP KRYZA, MATTHEW P. SINGER, CHRIS STAMM, MARK STOCK, NIKKI VOLPICELLI.
Bryan John Appleby, Fire on the Vine
Atriarch, Forever the End
A feat of sustained malevolence, the album's bleak 36 minutes of gothic doom established Atriarch as the underworld's new dark lords. (CS)
Beastie Boys, The Hot Sauce Committee Part Two
The B-Boys drop politics and hone three decades of influence—from jazz to punk to reggae—to craft their best album since Check Your Head. (APK)
James Blake, James Blake
The London electronic music producer marries ambient dub with soulful R&B for a strange and beautiful union. (JF)
Blouse, self-titled
On its debut, Blouse combines ethereal synthpop with breathy female vocals. Not to be confused with fellow Kate Bush-loving groups like College, Chromatics or the Drive soundtrack. (DC)
BOAT, Dress Like Your Idols
Not BOAT's catchiest record, but a very strong and even kind of mature (!) effort from our favorite Seattle pop-punk group. (CJ)
Rachel Taylor Brown, World So Sweet
The intimacy of a woman and her steadfast piano, succumbing to frequent fits of tender, jazzy rock and super-collaborative jangle pop. (MS)
Danava, Hemisphere of Shadows
Forward-thinking '70s throwback metal played with the intensity of Karp or High on Fire. Thin Lizzy for the ADD generation. Organ solos that would make Arthur C. Clarke lose sleep. (NC)
Alela Diane, Alela Diane & Wild Divine
Trading her sparse, acoustic finger-pickings for a full-band sound, Diane's new disc is rich with down-home twang and rich vocals. (EB)
Fucked Up, David Comes to Life
"Epic" and "punk" don't normally go together, but this is an epic fucking punk album, all intertwining guitars and singer Damien Abraham's grizzly-man growls. (MPS)
PJ Harvey, Let England Shake
From fallen dictators to political uprisings, the world shook in 2011. Harvey's protest album provided a poignant soundtrack. (DC)
Nick Jaina, The Beanstalks That Have Brought Us Here Are Gone
The most impressive thing about this special, guest-loaded disc isn't all the gorgeous voices on it, but (sometime WW contributor) Nick Jaina's compelling, deep songwriting. (CJ)
Zola Jesus, Conatus
These beats are equal parts ancient and electronic. It's hard to believe Zola Jesus' supernatural howl comes from her tiny frame. (NV)
Key Losers, California Lite
Katy Davidson and company's first full-length is alternately pretty, funny and so damn smooth. (CJ)
Log Across the Washer, 2009-2010 Collection
Lo-fi recordings from a garage-pop singer-songwriter with the humble, self-deprecating style of Elliott Smith. (NV)
Luck-One, True Theory
Luck spits like a syllabic machine gun, but he balances his passion, wisdom, swagger and emotion to craft a bar-setting local album. (APK)
Other Lives, Tamer Animals
A surrealist's masterful portrait, set to bone-shaking orchestral sketches. Vast, cinematic and ruggedly sophisticated, this record haunts. (MS)
The Physics, Love Is a Business
Seattle-based hip-hop trio the Physics crafted the perfect soundtrack to a Northwest summer—warm, breezy and full of nostalgic tales of barbecues and love flings under the branches of a Douglas fir. (RJ)
Pulse Emitter, Spiritual Vistas
Daryl Groetsch has made another coldly beautiful, modular synth soundtrack to an as-yet-unrealized sci-fi epic. Eat your heart out Vangelis. (RH)
Red Fang, Murder the Mountains
Oh, Portland isn't manly, huh? Tell that to the burly riffs on this masterpiece of mountainous crunch. As pulverizing as Red Fang's metal can be, though, the band never forsakes a good melody. (MPS)
Kelli Schaefer, Ghost of the Beast
Through songs at turns mournful and fervent, the PDX singer-songwriter's versatile voice is the firm yet lovely linchpin of this emotionally raw, stunning debut. (JF)
Paul Simon, So Beautiful or So What
Simon turned 70 this year. His poetry and percussive pursuits are as precise as ever, exploring new rhythms and empathetic musings. (AI)
Something Fierce, Don't Be So Cruel
Houston's punk classicists took it back to '79 with this exhilarating collection of anthems reminiscent of the Clash's slickest pop moves. (CS)
Tycho, Dive
The perfect antidote to dubstep mania: A calm, effective downtempo record that seeps into your pores and infects your whole being. (RH)
Virus, The Agent That Shapes the Desert
Cult Norwegian post-black metal/post-rock weirdness from a founding member of Ulver. A musical mirage that combines Die Kreuzen, Voivod and Unwound—and it swings! (NC)

Commission's 20th Anniversary Celebration
Former Chief Judge Judith S. Kaye with Hon. Lewis Douglass (Immediate Past Chair of the Commission)
Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman with Hon. Rose H. Sconiers,
Chair of the Commission
In June 2011, The Franklin H. Williams Judicial Commission celebrated its 20th anniversary. The NYS Commission on Minorities originally was established in 1988, to conduct a comprehensive study on minority participation in the courts and the legal profession, as well as perceptions regarding the treatment of minorities in the courts. Following the issuance of its report in 1991, the Commission was renamed in memory of its first chair. It became a permanent part of the court system and began pursuing implementation of its equal employment goals and related proposals.
On June 28th, original members and staff of the Commission reunited with members of the current Commission to celebrate 20 years of its positive impact on the advancement of people of color in the courts, and for promoting cultural diversity and sensitivity.

UPDATE: The Rangers have assigned Stu Bickel to the CT Whale (2:32 p.m.)
EARLIER: In desperate need of a defenseman, the Rangers finally found
a veteran that piqued their interest and claimed
Jeff Woywitka off waivers today.
Woywitka, 28, signed
with the Montreal Canadiens in August but was unable
to crack their NHL roster ahead of Alexei Yemelin this fall.
He had played the last two years for the Dallas Stars
and posted two goals and nine assists in 63 games last season. Woywitka was also a plus-five.
Woywitka , 6-3, 227 lbs., has performed well in spot duty in
the past and thrived
in that role for Dallas early last year, but when Woywitka has been thrust
into full-time duty or given more responsibility he
has struggled.
The hope in New York is that Woywitka will be a solid short-term
fix until Marc Staal returns to the lineup.
Woywitka was originally a first-round pick of the Philadelphia
Flyers in 2001 and is perhaps best known for being part of the deal that
brought Chris Pronger to the Edmonton Oilers in 2005.
He'll probably be unable to join the Rangers in time for
their season-opener tomorrow afternoon, but Woywitka is scheduled to arrive in Stockholm on Friday.
Woywitka isn't likely to play this weekend, but he could replace Tim
Erixon in New York's lineup next week when the team returns to North
The Rangers will likely assign one of Stu Bickel or Brendan Bell to
the CT Whale in the wake of this move.
Woywitka's cap hit is a very affordable $650,000

Wednesday, the Mets named 1B/2B/3B Wilmer Flores and RHP Rafael Montero their Sterling Organizational Player and Pitcher of the year respectively.
The Mets also named a Sterling Award Winner for each affiliate:
AAA – RHP Matt Harvey
AA – RHP Zack Wheeler
A+ – OF Alonzo Harris
A – RHP Michael Fulmer
SSA – RHP Hansel Robles
R – RHP Miller Diaz
DSL1 – RHP Yoryi Nuez
DSL2 – OF Vicente Lupo
The Sterling Award winners will be recognized in a pre-game ceremony Saturday.
The only two repeat winners from 2011 are Harvey, who was the 2011 St. Lucie winner, and Montero, who won for his 2011 work in the Gulf Coast League.
The Sterling Awards are not about the best prospect either on a system level or by affiliate, although this year, they come fairly close to matching up. Remember, last year, Josh Satin was the Sterling Award Player of the year while LHP Darin Gorski was the Pitcher of the Year. Satin was DFA'd this year.

Saybrook University Psychology Alumnus Dr. Ken Bausch Releases Body Wisdom in Dialogue: Rediscovering the Voice of the Goddess08/14/2012
by Jerry Kurtyka, M.A. (OS), Saybrook 2002
Body Wisdom in Dialogue is a guide book for understanding the feelings that enable and sustain heartfelt discussions as collective conversations, an ancient art which has been continued within tribal cultures. It is the second AGORAS publication by Thomas Flanagan and Ken Bausch, Ph.D. Saybrook 1998, and follows last year's book, A Democratic Approach to Sustainable Futures. In one way, Body Wisdom might have come first as it presents the underlying theory (or is it theology?) for the Structured Dialogic Design – SDD - process described in the earlier book.
Body Wisdom addresses how we surface ideas that are embodied below the level of our conscious knowing and then sort out the wheat from the chafe, primarily in a collective context. The authors state that such ideas are known through body wisdom, the repository of inner feelings that can speak to our mind in a conscious way (p. 32). For a collective, these ideas might relate to what are sometimes called wicked problems that resist analysis because there are so many entangled issues and unintended consequences which can potentially result from tackling the problem prematurely. On the other hand, SDD and body wisdom techniques are probably not the best approach to deal with emergencies that require immediate, expert action to avert further disaster (I am recalling the Fukishima nuclear disaster response last year, though SDD would likely be an excellent way to develop contingency plans for such an event).
One technique to elicit unconscious ideas is the use of a trigger question. Trigger questions play an important role to surface the unmanifested ideas from their embodied, unconscious state. The authors give the example of a new cohort of participants for an Indigenous leadership development program who are asked upon entering the program, "Where did you get your Medicine?" This type of existential question is designed to elicit self-disclosure and common group experiences, leading to more cohesion as the cohort evolves. One could imagine asking President Obama about his controversial healthcare program – "How will this be our healing?" – and then listening closely to his answer!
The authors cite the Greek myth of Psyche (mind) and Aphrodite to illustrate the dynamic tension between the unformed yet salient new idea and the current embodied wisdom and practice (Aphrodite), especially as these play out in an organizational context. New ideas exist initially like Psyche, nebulous and still emergent, unproven and undefined, but also pushing at us in some way to find expression. Aphrodite, then, is the current paradigm: its attractiveness; business model; culture; technology; known markets; profits and revenues; respectability (she is a goddess, after all). It is against and with Aphrodite that Psyche must prove herself, but first she has to know herself and to this end is given a set of trials.
So it is with salient ideas; we have to first know them before we can prove them to ourselves and others. This is where body wisdom comes in; it helps us to discern when we need to engage an important problem (p. 132). Not necessarily how to engage, which is more in the domain of our rational mental process and which can be assisted by SDD. Thus, the two domains of body/goddess andmind/reason find each other in a common purpose, as the authors describe.

Saybrook University Alumnus and Faculty Member Dr. Bob Flax Named to World Federalist Movement's Governing Body07/26/2012
Saybrook Psychology Alumnus Dr. Bob Flax (Ph.D. '92), also a faculty member and Chief Research Coordinator at Saybrook University's Graduate College of Psychology and Humanistic Studies, has been named to the governing body of the World Federalist Movement. The announcement was made at the WFM's 26th annual conference in July. Founded in 1947 to support the efforts of the United Nations, the WFM is a worldwide organization dedicated to promoting peace and the global rule of law: it is the primary sponsor of the International Criminal Court and the U.N.'s "Responsibility to Protect" initiative, among other major global efforts.
The Vice-President of the Democratic World Federalists, Flax's interest in global law and governance grew out of his work as a senior clinical psychologist for the California Department of Corrections, treating individuals, couples, families, and groups. He expanded his focus to include larger systems and studied organizational development and conflict resolution, and has worked to test these approaches in a wide range of settings, including businesses, non-profits, intentional communities, and the California State Prison system. Dr. Flax finally arrived at the next logical step – the way we work together as citizens of the world.
Bob lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and is a key faculty member in Saybrook's program in Social Transformation, which offers a body of practical knowledge to support students who want to connect the library to the street in pursuit of meaningful social change.
Dr. Flax's Saybrook Doctoral Dissertation was titled, From Beginner to Master: Changes in the Ways of Being, Perceiving, and Practicing of Psychotherapists as They Acquire and Develop Clinical Skill, and was chaired by Dr. Tony Stigliano.
Saybrook University Alumna Dr. Kirby Rosplock Completes International Study on Family Wealth07/18/2012
Saybrook University Organizational Systems Alumna Dr. Kirby Rosplock (Ph.D. '07) recently completed an international study exploring the relationship of the family office to the family business titled, The Sustaining the Family Enterprise Study. Dr. Rosplock, Dr. Dianne H.B. Welsh at University of North Carolina Greensboro, Dr. Juan Roure at IESE Business School at the University of Navarra in Barcelona, Spain, and Prof. Juan Luis Segurado at IESE Business School at the University of Navarra in Barcelona, Spain have been working on this multi-phased study since 2008.
The Sustaining the Family Enterprise Study engaged 93 family members from around the globe whose combined wealth exceeds $20 Billion. The study explored the perceived impact of governance practices and process, along with entrepreneurial orientation, and their impact on sustainability of the family's enterprise, according to Dr. Rosplock. Kirby is the Director of Research and Development in the Innovation and Learning Center at GenSpring Family Offices in Jupiter, FL.
The study is the first of its kind and provides new insights into the importance of how families make decisions and establish process in order to build continuity and cohesion. Further, findings on entrepreneurial orientation reveal that families take more risk and are more entrepreneurial with their operating business than with wealth management practices in their family office.
Dr. Rosplock also spoke in San Francisco in April of 2012 about the growing influence of women on global wealth. Kirby is a director of her family's fourth-generation, traditionally male business. Kirby's Saybrook dissertation was titled, Women and Wealth: Women's Interest, Attitudes and Involvement With Their Wealth, which was chaired by Dr. Dennis Jaffe.

Saybrook Alumnus Dr. Steven Kull Releases Results of New Public Opinion Study05/03/2012
Saybrook University Psychology Alumnus and Director of The Program for Public Consultation Dr. Steven Kull releases results of a new study in a public presentation, What Kind of Defense Budget Would the American Public Make?
Thursday, May 10, 2012 10:00-11:30 am
The Stimson Center 1111 19th Street, NW 12th Floor
In this presentation and in cooperation with other colleagues, Dr. Kull will dicuss what average Americans would do if they were informed about the level and purposes of U.S. defense spending and had a chance to weigh the arguments that experts make. They will address the following questions: would the public boost overall funding, or cut it; would they spend more on air power or sea power; and how much would they say the US should spend on nuclear arms, on major ground forces, and on special forces?
Most polls simply ask whether defense spending should be cut or not. But three organizations, the Program for Public Consultation (PPC), the Stimson Center, and the Center for Public Integrity collaborated on a more useful survey. They provided a representative sample of the American public neutral information about how funds are currently being spent, and exposed them to the various arguments made by advocates in the contemporary debate on whether defense should be cut. The respondents then said what they wished to spend in key areas.
The results of this innovative survey are now in, and Dr. Kull and his colleagues invite you to attend a presentation that will shed new light on the linkages and gaps between decisions being made in Washington and what average Americans want. The results will also make clear which arguments in favor of or opposed to current defense spending have the most resonance with members of the public. Please call 202-232-7500 for additional information.
Dr. Kull received his Ph.D. at Saybrook University in 1980. The chair of his dissertation was Dr. Stan Krippner. Dr. Kull is a political psychologist, is director of the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA), which manages WorldPublicOpinion.org, and is a Senior Research Scholar at the Center for International and Security Studies at Maryland (CISSM), University of Maryland. He is also director of the Program for Public Consultation, which develops methods for governments to consult their publics on policy decisions. Dr. Kull has played a central role in the BBC World Service global poll, and regularly gives briefings to the US Congress, the State Department, the UN, and the European Commission. He appears frequently in the international media and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He recently completed a four-year study of the Muslim public, summarized in his newest book Feeling Betrayed: The Roots of Muslim Anger at America (Brookings).

To help with the possible relocation of Grassy Trail Reservoir, Sunnyside and East Carbon City are looking into joining together to back a feasibility study in finding a new location for the reservoir.
The topic has been discussed at a Sunnyside City Council last week and was talked about on Tuesday night at an ECC council meeting.
A possible plan in the works could have a new reservoir built in the areas near Sunnyside and East Carbon City. The project would not only include the building of a new reservoir but the impact of the project could also extend the life of West Ridge Mine.
Warren Monroe, a senior construction manager with Jones and DeMille Engineering, talked to the East Carbon City councilors about the current plans with Grassy Trail Reservoir in terms of a feasibility study.
"Since the mines and industrial uses for the water has diminished, the need for that water has diminished. However the water rights are still there," said Monroe.
Monroe said there is a 50 year time frame where the cities must show beneficial use of the water. That study has never been done, he said.
The water is in the name of both cities right now, Monroe said.
The Division of Water Rights within the state is questioning the validity of the water right in terms of municipal purposes.
On paper there is enough water at Grassy Trail Reservoir right now, Monroe said. But from a physical perspective the reservoir is in trouble.
Measurements taken at the reservoir a few weeks ago have shown that more water is coming in to the reservoir now than is used on a hot summer day. More than twice as much water is coming in through the left and right hand forks than what is going out to the water treatment plant but the reservoir level is not rising, Monroe said.
"As near as we can tell that lake is leaking terribly," said Monroe. That makes the validity of the Range Creek water even more imperative to get over here for domestic, municipal and industrial uses, he said.
Now the Division of Water Rights wants to see a long range plan put into place, since the 50 year proof period has passed.
"That's the dilemma we are in right now," said Monroe.
Monroe proposed that East Carbon join in on the study because both cities share the water rights.
The application for the study would need to be turned into the Community Impact Board by the end of the week.
East Carbon City councilors requested that City Attorney Jeremy Humes research the possible agreement for the city before signing off on the study.
UtahAmerican Energy Inc. has been in discussions with local municipalities about redirecting Grassy Trail creek to a new location where a reservoir would be built. One of the reasons behind it is because of an opportunity to extend the life of West Ridge Mine by 18 months to two years, according to Doug Parsons, Sunnyside City mayor. If nothing was done the mine would have about two years of mining left.
UtahAmerican is seeing if it is feasible to move Grassy Trail creek from its present location to a couple of different areas they have looked at. One of the areas that has been discussed is Little Bear Canyon which sits on school trust lands.
If the land is acquired from the school trust, then UtahAmerican would deed the property over to both Sunnyside and East Carbon City. Sunnyside City, Sunnyside Co-Generation and East Carbon City have all been involved in the project, Parsons said.
Four boar holes have been drilled in Little Bear Canyon to make sure that there is no fractures in the ground so it can be prepared for a dam site. The road crossing through Sunnyside LLC leading up to Little Bear is classified as a County Class D road.
Parsons said Carbon County has already agreed to give UtahAmerican a right-of-way for a pipeline that would go from Grassy Trail Reservoir to the new site. The financing for the project will all come from UtahAmerican at a cost of about $15 million, Parsons said.
If the new reservoir is created, no changes would be done to the current water treatment plant, noted Parsons.
Currently Grassy Trail Reservoir has about 800 square acres of capacity. If the reservoir is built the capacity would be increased to about 1,000 square acres.
"I think it (the new reservoir) would be a good plus for the cities and the power plant," said Parsons.
Sunnyside Co-Generation had some questions about the project, Parsons said, most of which had to do with water rights, diversions and related issues.
The time line for the project states that it must be done within two years, Parsons said.
"Hopefully everything will go good and we'll have a new reservoir," stated Parsons.
The current reservoir is not without problems. There have been issues with silt in the water and the reservoir was not built up to the required code.
All of those involved in the project are hopeful that it will be considered a "win/win" situation for the communities of East Carbon, Sunnyside and other water users including Sunnyside Co-Generation plant and UtahAmerican.
Sunnyside city councilors and UtahAmerican are in agreement that the current reservoir is in need of repairs. UtahAmerican and the local area would stand to gain from the project as UtahAmerican would increase the recovery of coal reserves in the vicinity near the reservoir and the area would benefit from the possible increase in job opportunities.
UtahAmerican Energy, Inc. is a Utah corporation which through its subsidiary West Ridge Resources, Inc. operates the West Ridge mine. UtahAmerican Energy, Inc. is also developing the Lila Canyon mine located in Emery County which was scheduled to be in commercial production starting last year. The Lila Canyon coal will be a high quality steaming and PCI coal. UtahAmerican Energy, Inc. is a subsidiary of Murray Energy Corporation, the largest privately owned coal company in America. Producing approximately 30 million annual tons of bituminous coal from mines located in Utah, Illinois, Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio that provide affordable energy to households and businesses across the country and to international consumers, according to the company's website.
The cities should know more about the feasibility study in February.

FORT DRUM — As the military starts to allow women to serve in more prominent combat roles, a highly decorated female flight medic at the post recounted her experience working in a dangerous combat situation in Afghanistan and her thoughts about the policy change.
"I believe there are plenty of women who can do the jobs," said Sgt. Julia A. Bringloe, a Distinguished Flying Cross recipient. "As long as they don't change the standards of any particular MOS (military occupation specialties), then women should be able to be given a shot."
She called the change "exciting news" and a sign of the military moving forward.
Multiple outlets have listed Sgt. Bringloe as only the seventh woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross, an exclusive club whose first member was pilot Amelia Earhart.
Over the course of three days while on deployment in June 2011, Sgt. Bringloe and her helicopter crew overcame difficult conditions to bring supplies to and pull out more than a dozen soldiers wounded and killed while fighting insurgent forces in eastern Afghanistan during Operation Hammer Down.
Sgt. Bringloe, from the C company of the 3rd General Support Aviation Battalion, 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, lowered herself down nine times from her crew's Black Hawk helicopter to pull in soldiers, fracturing her shin on her second descent when her line was pulled toward a tree. She faced heavy enemy fire with no protection on two of her descents.
"I'd be lying if I said that there were times where I wasn't scared," she said in September when she received the award, adding at the time her training helped her stay focused on her work.
The 2011 deployment was the second in the five-year career of the Bainbridge Island, Wash., native.
Two other members of the helicopter crew, Chief Warrant Officers Kenneth G. Brodhead and Erik Sabiston, also received the Distinguished Flying Cross for their actions. Another crew member, Spc. David Capps, received an Air Medal with valor. The crew's work was named the 2011 Air/Sea Rescue of the Year by the Army Aviation Association of America.
Noting she had already been in combat situations, she said the changed policy did not affect her flight medic work.
"For me, there is no change," Sgt. Bringloe said. "We're already doing it."
She added she had found no issues when it came to working with men.
"We're in the business of saving soldiers' lives. Being proficient at our job is extremely important to our job," Sgt. Bringloe said. "It's not our gender that's important."
Military service branches have until May 15 to submit plans about their implementation to the secretary of defense.

Hi All,
I'm totally new to PHP and would like to start from scratch. I have installed the EasyPHP bundle (incl. Apache, MySQL & PHP).
As instructed by EasyPHP, I can load the http://localhost/index.php in my browser. That makes me think that the apache web server is up and running. However, when I load a php file with the following codes...
<title>My First page in PHP</title>
Current date : <? print (Date("l F d, Y")); ?>
I cannot get the date displayed... My questions are:
(1) Do I have to do anything to make the php work, in addition to startup the web server.
(2) EasyPHP is easy to install, but, there's no admin function to further setup the configuration such as location of localhost, MySQL database etc. (correct me if I was wrong). Is there any other bunder out there which suit newbies like me?
Any idea is much appreciated. Thanks.

The allure of an amazing pair of jeans is indisputable. Even the incomparable Yves Saint Laurent was humbled before their transcendent power and praised their spectacular nonchalance. While Mr. Saint Laurent was referring to jeans in their most simple and unembellished form, we think he'd appreciate the latest crop of denim looks, as they're thoroughly modern and marvelous too!
One thing is for certain: this spring is a great denim season, stuffed with lots of amazing options. The new offerings run the gamut from grungy to the embodiment of grown-up sophistication, but nevertheless, we managed to narrow it down to our Top Five. Of course you can keep wearing your beloved classics, but if you want to ramp up your spring wardrobe, check out these runway-inspired styles in all the latest washes and silhouettes!
1. Siwy Hannah Slim Crop Jean ($198)
Our first selection is definitely the edgiest of the bunch, but we figured our more fashion-forward readers would dig them. The rips and snow-white color are reminiscent of the slashed-and-skinny styles from Balmain's spring collection-but without the $1500+ price tag. These Siwy Jeans are an updated version of their classic Hannah Slim Crop (a style that Kate Moss often wears) and are the perfect length to wear with some statement shoes, like the Steve Madden Evelina Suede Booties
($119.95) shown above. We completed this look with a H&M Blazer ($49.90) and Urban Outfitters' Truly Madly Deeply T-Shirt ($24).
2. MiH Lisbon Jean ($255)
The tapered trouser is a very important piece for spring, so we were delighted to see that MiH created a denim version of this key shape. Though a tapered leg can seem scary at first, it's actually a very figure-friendly cut and looks good on lots of different body types. Of course, that said, whenever you wear a silhouette that was formerly considered rather dowdy, you need to make sure the rest of your look is very cool. We styled these chino-cut jeans with a pair of Seychelles Cypress Platforms ($98), as the seriously high heel and platform soles add a dash of sex appeal to the posh pants. If you don't want to feel like you're financially committing to this trend, try Express' Skinny Denim Editor Pant ($69.50) for a hint of the MiH look.
3. Current/Elliott The Boyfriend Jean
As we've mentioned repeatedly, the boyfriend jean never fails to delight us. They always hit the right fuss-free note and seem to be loved universally (flattering and comfortable is apparently the ideal combo!). The instigators of the boyfriend jean trend-Current/Elliott-created a must-buy update to this beloved style for spring, a bleached-out variation called the Trash Wash. As seen above with Steve Madden's Sasse Platforms
($129.95) and a vintage gold mesh belt, the light blue jeans are the perfect piece to perk up your winter wardrobe. All we can say is grab them now, as this celeb-favorite style is sure to sell out soon.
4. 7 For All Mankind Gwenevere Jean ($198)
As seen on ladies like Sienna Miller, slim cropped jeans are a wonderful alternative to leggings. Additionally, these shorter pants were seen all over the spring runways, so they're on trend as well. We adore this unadorned pair from 7 For All Mankind (in the Soho wash) for its neat look and chic simplicity. Show off the skinny shape and wear a tucked in top, like Delia's Elisa Plaid Shirt ($39.50), an equally svelte belt, like Urban Outfitters' Skinny Braided Leather Belt ($24), and a tall pair of cutout shoes, like We Who See's Cutout Mule ($125).
5. Acne Jeans A-Pant ($299)
Finally, we're pleased to present the latest offering from the always ahead-of-the-curve Acne Jeans. They've taken their beloved A-Pant-a seventies-influenced, high-rise/wide leg-and reissued it in a stone-bleached stretch denim. The snug fit at the waist will cinch you in, while the generous full leg is nice and relaxed. We prefer this style worn with a sturdy shoe, so we used the We Who See Cutout Mule ($125) again, finishing the outfit with a H&M Gray Cardigan ($39.90) and Urban Outfitters' Studded Belt ($24).

Our image of the week shows Joana Grah, the levitating PhD student.
Image by Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb, Joana Grah and Kostas Papafitsoros.
It's not supernatural powers that help Joana fly, but the equation on the blackboard. This partial differential equation can be used to fill in specific parts of an image based on what's around it. The process is called inpainting. For this image the equation was solved numerically to remove the stool Joana was sitting on. Image inpainting has wide ranging practical applications: from the restoration of satellite images, enhancement of medical images, the renovation of digital photographs and artwork, to special effects in images and videos.
This image was created by Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb, head of the Cambridge Image Analysis group at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge, Joana Grah and Kostas Papafitsoros.
