DES MOINES�� His coach called him �great.�
The opposing coach dubbed him �a load.�
That�s Iowa State forward Melvin Ejim, who led his team�s march to the free throw line in Saturday�s Big Four Classic game against feisty Drake, and, ultimately, an 86-77 win before a crowd of 13,180 at Wells Fargo Arena.
�I think I was running the floor really well,� said Ejim, who scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds. �Guys were passing the ball up and gave me the ball in spots I could do something with it. All the credit to them. I was able to either get a good shot attempt or go to the free throw line.�
About that free throw line ...
Ejim went there 14 times, sinking 11 � both single-game career highs.
The Cyclones (8-3) shot 41 free throws, draining 30 � both season bests.
�That�s huge,� said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg, whose team avenged last season�s 74-65 loss to the Bulldogs. �We really wanted to get that thing inside and our ball movement was so much better.�
Officials called 52 fouls, with 31 whistles directed toward the Bulldogs.
�We got silly fouls early by some veteran guys,� said Drake coach Mark Phelps, whose team fell to 4-5. �Ben (Simons) and Seth (VanDeest) had to sit for most of the first half. Jordan (Clarke) got into foul trouble, so clearly fouls were a huge deal for us.�
Simons, the Bulldogs� leading scorer, settled for 13 points.
VanDeest kept Drake close, scoring 16 of his team-high 18 points in the second half.
Clarke, the team�s top rebounder, fouled out with seven boards � three below his average.
Still, the Cyclones couldn�t create much separation until Will Clyburn�s steal, dunk and free throw with 3:19 left game them an 80-71 edge.
�It gets everybody into it,� Clyburn said. �It just boosts the morale of our team, period.�
Clyburn notched his third double-double of the season with 17 points and 10 rebounds.
He made all nine of his free throws � and had attempted just two from the stripe in his previous three games.
�Just going with the flow of the game,� Clyburn said. �It happened.�
ISU had 10 turnovers in the first 13 minutes, but lost just seven in the final 27.
The Cyclones made 13 more free throws than Drake and corralled 15 more rebounds.
�That�s a very good team,� Hoiberg said of the Bulldogs. �That�s a team that I think will do very well in the Missouri Valley Conference and I think it�s a team that could surprise a lot of people.�
Ejim�s effort astonished no one.
�He�s a load,� Phelps said.
The Big 12�s leading rebounder matched single-game career highs in steals and assists with four apiece.
�Melvin was all over the place,� Hoiberg said. �We ran plays for Melvin. We don�t normally run a lot for him but he had it going. ... He made good plays, whether he scored it, made a kick out, or got to the free throw line. Melvin was great.�
Ejim fell one point short of matching a career high scoring performance.
He scored 22 as a freshman in a 91-88 win over Creighton at Wells Fargo Arena.
And only two came on free throws.�Melvin likes this arena, I guess,� Hoiberg said. �You now what Melvin�s going to give you. He�s going to go out there and defend. He�s going to rebound and he�s going to run the floor. Whether it�s for him or for a teammate, Melvin�s the guy out there doing the dirty work.�

Harts Hill dad and uncle were on WW1 roll of honour
Posted: May 01, 2014|
FOLLOWING your request for World War One stories my dad and my uncle were in the First World War. We lived in 11 Chapel Street, Harts Hill. They both returned from the front but came back sick.
I think my dad inhaled gas but he would never talk about it and I think my uncle had shell shock. He used to walk the streets but didn't know anybody. They were on the on a roll of honour in the church in Brockmore but I don't know what happened to that.
My dad, who was born there, was Philip Winwood and my uncle was Thomas Winwood. Hope this is of interest to your readers.

Re: Movies Seen in 2010
Me and Orson Welles
. Very good. The Orson Welles is plainly too old for the role, but it's understandable why: If cast as a man of 22 he'd be too close to Zac Efron's age for the film to really work. Anyway, rather entertaining stuff. It's loud, breezy, enthusiastic, has all the joy and optimism of youth and a lot of the ballyhoo of, well, Hollywood (it is about a theatrical production of Julius Caesar, but never mind?) The Joe Cotton and Lloyd Bridges are downright uncanny, no doubt a mixture of good casting and an excellent hair stylist. As a study of Welles as a brilliant but manipulative and tempestuous egoist, well, it's a damn fine movie.
. Solid, engaging biopic about the washerwoman painter. This film pretty much makes itself and was a nice little joy to watch. Yolande Moreau excellent in title role, wonderfully empathetic, posessed, not without her own wry sense of humour - but also servile and sadly deranged when the story requires it. Very classically stoically French in a Robert Bresson sort of way.
Also I saw
again. I've opined about it elsewhere, but yeah, while I'd concur with most of the film's flaws, I just enjoy the damn thing too much.
'Spock is always right, even when he's wrong. It's the tone of voice, the supernatural reasonability; this is not a man like us; this is a god.'

NFL Draft
Houston picks Newnan's Alan Bonner in 6th round
by Chris Goltermann
They say everything is bigger in Texas. But Alan Bonner's been prepared for football's largest stage for sometime.
On Saturday, the Houston Texans gave the Newnan native the opportunity he's been waiting for.
Bonner became the second former Cougars football player to hear his name in the 2013 NFL Draft when the Texans selected the Jacksonville State wide-receiver/kick returner in the sixth round with the 195th overall pick.
"It's been a long journey and it's just a blessing," Bonner said Saturday after learning of his draft selection. "I was just playing the waiting game for the last few hours and I was just filled with joy when I saw my name on the screen."
He becomes the sixth Newnan player to reach the NFL and second over a three-day span that began with high-school teammate Alec Ogletree being selected 30th overall by the St. Louis Rams. Bonner was also just the eighth player in Jacksonville State's football history to be selected — and the first since 1991.
"I'm just so excited to have the opportunity to continue my playing career," said Bonner. "I'm ready to take my game to a whole another level."
An All-State receiver at Newnan High who also played a big role in the Cougars reaching the Class AAAAA semifinals in both football and basketball during the 2008-09 school year, Bonner signed with the FCS school after having a Division I scholarship taken off the table in the days leading up to National Signing Day.
He made the most of the offer from the Gamecocks, playing as a true freshman before eventually setting single-game and career receiving records with the program last fall as a senior.
In 44 games at JSU, Bonner became the program's all-time career leader in punt return yards (972) and punt returns (87), while ranking second on the career pass receiving yards (1,986) and pass receiving touchdowns with 20. He also set the school single-season record with 648 kick return yards on 25 returns during the 2010 season.
Following his senior year, Bonner earned invitations to play in both the Senior Bowl and the inaugural Raycom All-Star Classic. He continued workouts after January both in Boca Raton, Fla., and in Atlanta after also earning a chance to showcase his skills at this year's NFL Combine.
"I think with the season I had this year and being at those All-Star Games and being at the [NFL] Combine and Pro Days, I was able to get some exposure," Bonner said prior to the draft.
The Texans are expected to look at Bonner as a kick returner in addition to receiving duties. Last year the team used several players with little success at the spot. They included cut Trindon Holliday, who was picked up by Denver.
Bonner didn't let a small-school background hamper a dream to play professional football after college.
"You got to be dedicated to the game," he said. "I've learned that it's not where you come from. It's just about all what you do on the field."

The US Federal Trade Commission is warning people about scammers illegally using robocalls in an attempt to trick them into handing over personal and bank account information. To make everything more convincing, the robocalls impersonate the FTC.
Potential victims are told that they will be refunded by the FTC if they enter their bank account information into a form on ftcrefund.com.
The website has no affiliation with the agency. It's simply part of an information-stealing scheme.
Ftcrefund.com is currently offline, but the scammers can move their operations at any time. That's why users are advised to be extra careful if they receive robocalls pretending to be initiated by the FTC.
Individuals interested in consumer refunds are advised to visit the FTC's official site. Those who receive fraudulent calls can file complaints on the FTC Complaint Assistant page or they can call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357).

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
The final test for the Dino baseball squad was against two 4A schools. If Coach Troy Moynier had any doubts about his team, they are quickly vanishing as the Dinos routed Highland 16-4 on Wednesday before defeating Mountain View 15-7 on Thursday to wrap-up preseason action.
On March 25 the Dinos took on Highland in a home game. Carbon got on top first with runs in the first and third innings. Beau Rich was rolling along, keeping Highland's bats quiet until the fourth when they parlayed a couple hits and walk into three runs. Jaren McCourt came on in relieve and gave up one more run to get out of the inning. It was the last hurrah for Highland as they did not score again.
As in so many other games, it just took one inning to wake up the Dino bats and the fourth was it as they pounded out eight runs before it was over. They added six more in the fifth to end the game early.
Keny Seals did the honor of pushing the final runs across with a grand slam in the fifth. Clint Finkbiner and Hayden Basinger hit key triples in the big fourth inning show. Julian Tamllos added a double as well. Basinger was 4-4 at the plate and Beau Rich went 3-4.
"Its kinda scary sometimes when our bats are silent," remarked Coach Troy Moynier about the big inning, "But then they always seem to get the hits and the big inning. Its becoming our pattern in these games."
Moynier was a bit more worried about facing Mountain View, but his team did not let him down. Because of the cold wintry weather the the Dinos struggled a bit in the field. They committed three errors and were not as crisp as some games.
Carbon had their big inning in the third to go up 8-1, but let Mountain View tighten it up with five runs to make it an 8-6 game. The Dinos tacked on three more in the fifth and four in the sixths to put the game away and secure their eight straight win.
Gage Bigelow was the starting pitcher for the Dinos, he got the win. Jake Nichols came on in relief and closed out the game.
Seals had another big night with a three RBI double. Seth Tryon was 4-5 at the plate including a double. McCourt and Daniel Peczuh also came through with two baggers.
Coach Moynier is looking ahead to the region play saying, "It's nice to be back on top after a few mediocre years, but every one will be gunning for us and we have to not let down at all and stay focused."
The first region game will be Tuesday, March 30 (today) at the Carbon High Field against ALA at 3:30 p.m.

A news anchor in Puerto Rico must have forgotten that the cameras were rolling when he suddenly went into a gibberish fit reminiscent of the funny news scene in Bruce Almighty with Steve Carell and Jim Carrey.
The news anchor gets through his normal report, but doesn't realize he's still on air when he starts rolling his tongue and making weird noises to clear his throat. Watch below.

text: These Turkeys Are Smokin' Posted by Megan E - eFoodie Editor, 11/06/2012 Nov 06 For the past 70 years, the Greenberg family of Tyler, Texas has been creating unmatched flavor by expertly slow smoking their turkeys to a delicious mahogany brown hue over hickory fires like their grandfather did when it all began in the corner of his dairy barn in the 1940's. Whether you are a loyal fan of this superb, locally-made Texas bird or a slightly wary newcomer, Sam Greenberg will have you convinced with one taste of his turkey. The classic story of this dark, somewhat unassuming bird is told by Mr. Greenberg with a smirk. He says the color of his birds does alarm some first-time customers, like a Dallas woman who called quite upset after receiving a Greenberg turkey for a family gathering. "She said, 'Mr. Greenberg, it's all burned up! It's just not right! I can't serve this! You will have to send another.' I said, you try it. Just try it, if you are not happy I will send you a refund. I had to talk her into it," he says. "About 30 minutes later I get another call. It's the same lady. She said, 'Mr. Greenberg, you're gonna have to send another one. We couldn't stop eating it.'" Members of the Greenberg family will be in our Austin, San Antonio and Houston stores before Thanksgiving sampling this decadent turkey, so we invite you to stop by and taste a slice. Or, just ask our Market Partners – they will tell you how good this turkey tastes! Because this bird is richer and smokier than other turkeys it is perfect to create other offerings after the main meal is over. Greenberg Smoked Turkey stock (stew the carcass with onions and vegetables) for a smoked turkey gumbo with Andouille sausage, a twist on the perennial favorites with Greenberg Smoked Turkey quesadillas or get out your food processor or blender to create a Greenberg Smoked Turkey paté. Each Greenberg Smoked Turkey weighs 9 pounds, is fully cooked and is ready-to-eat, but keep in mind this award-winning turkey is exclusively available at Central Market in November only. Here are a few additional Greenberg Turkey tips: Turkey may be held in the refrigerator six to eight days Serve chilled or at room temperature If heating the turkey, place in an oven bag. Do not add flour. Cut six small slits in top of bag. Heat in a 300 degree oven six minutes per pound. Tags: holiday entertainingmeat marketthanksgivingall stores Like it Tweet it Pin it Email it

Motion carried unanimously.
Director's Report/Information Items
- September Statistics. Lending statistics were 6.2% higher than the same time period last year. Adult lending was up 7.0%, while Children's was up 5.2%. The Children's Department held more programs during September this year. As a result, program attendance was up by 21%. Library website visits and Wi-Fi use continue to rise.
- Current Budget Status. Director Lenz reviewed the status of this year's budget. While 74.8% of the year has passed, 71.4% of the budget has been spent. Eisen asked if the director was able to determine if there would be a carryover from this year's budget. She explained she could not predict that at this point in time. She needs to see what expenditures we will have in the final quarter of the year.
- Staff Reports.
- A hearing loop, which was paid for through a grant from the Menasha Corporation Foundation, has been installed in the Co. E Room.
- Joe Bongers provided information on the library's participation in the FDIC's Money Smart program. This is a comprehensive financial education curriculum designed to help low- and middle-income individuals improve their financial skills.
- Teen Librarian Vanessa Taylir arranged to have several hundred Maplewood Middle School students, including those with special needs in integrated classrooms, visit the library. She provided information which heightened awareness of the services offered to students.

- Parking on First Street. A change to remove the 2-hour parking limit on the north side of First Street adjacent to the library will be taken under consideration by the Common Council's Administration Committee.
- Fundraising Committee Report. Plans to implement the collection of 1 million pennies as a fundraising project have temporarily stalled. The committee has been asked to wait until a more suitable time to include Menasha School District students in the project. The committee intends to discuss the benefits of short-term and long-term fundraising events, recognizing that there is an advantage to offering various tiers of events that would appeal to a broad spectrum of residents within our community.
- Library Art. Board members agreed to have the director hang a set of six Doty Island Memory Paintings in the fiction area on the library's main floor. The paintings have been in storage for some time in the library's basement.
Discussion/Action Items
- Recommendation of the Investments Committee. Recently, the Board voted to transfer funds from a certificate of deposit that had come due to the library's endowment fund. The Investments Committee recently met with Terri Towle, vice-president of finance, and Linda Hansen, development & donor services associate, at the Community Foundation of the Fox Valley. After learning that funds deposited into the library's Endowment Fund are intended for investment only, the committee agreed that funds from all certificates of deposit that come due should be transferred to the library's Memorial Fund, which is a spend-down account.

- Library Logo. Options for a new library logo had been presented for consideration at a previous meeting. Director Lenz offered to have the Board wait to decide on a change until 2015 when the new Strategic Plan calls for a marketing plan to be put into place.

Hostel OletPrague, Czech Republic
It's in an old school with big echo-y rooms, so even if people are trying to be quiet, it's VERY noisy. Bring earplugs, the creaky door and floors of my room woke me up everytime someone tried to sneak in to sleep. Otherwise no complaints, good price and clean, not far from the center of the city.

Old Taiwan (Liouhe) HostelKaohsiung, Taiwan
Definately the BEST hostel I've ever stayed in. (And there have been quite a few!) Gorgeous little hostel with a roof garden and great rooms with bathrooms. Very clean and comfortable, very helpful owner, right by the train station, metro, and night market, and VERY cheap! The map on hostelworld.com is pretty accurate, but the hostel has no english sign... it's down a side street with a small round sign in chinese. But it's basically the only thing around that could be a hostel.

The onset of autumn welcomes one of the most exciting times for a beer lover: the resurgence of fall beers. With spiced aromas and promise of pumpkin, every sip celebrates the crisp season. The abundance of brewers in the Baltimore area means there are several fall beers hailing from the region. Check out five of our favorites.
Brewer's Art Gruit: Taking a page from the ancient style of brewing, this new seasonal beer is made with herbs instead of the now more widely used hops. The resulting flavor is slightly bitter but has a rounded malty taste that promises to broaden your beer-drinking horizon (5.4 percent ABV).
DuClaw 31: This fall release from DuClaw's long list of seasonal brews is a standout. This medium bodied spiced Munich dunkel boasts a malty taste with a powerful spicy finish — full of cinnamon and nutmeg — that will catch you by surprise (5.7 percent ABV).
Flying Dog Dogtoberfest: The popular Märzen from the Frederick, M.D., brewery is brewed with 100 percent German ingredients and dressed up with great bottle art. The caramel flavoring adds a deliciously sweet finish that lends itself to a very successful pairing with spiced desserts. One word: yum (5.6 percent ABV).
Fordam Brewing Company Spiced Harvest Ale: The spiced smell of this medium amber-colored beer is quite strong in comparison to its counterparts. Expect notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and a hint of pumpkin — perfect to pair with comfort food on a fall day (6.6 percent ABV).
Heavy Seas Great Pumpkin: With more prominent pumpkin characteristics, this deep red-orange ale from the Mutiny Fleet begs to be consumed in the crisp fall air. For an even richer take on this local concoction be sure to seek out the bourbon barrel-aged version, the Great'ER Pumpkin (8.5 percent ABV).

"Every internal audit professional wants to look back on their career with the satisfaction of knowing our work made a significant difference."– Richard F. Chambers
Richard F. Chambers' journey on the audit trail spans nearly 40 years with stops in both government and the corporate sector and, since 2009, as President and CEO of The Institute of Internal Auditors. In Lessons Learned on the Audit Trail, his first book release, Chambers shares many of the key events and insights gained during his impressive career, as well as valuable lessons he learned along the way.
Chambers, CIA, QIAL, CGAP, CCSA, CRMA, candidly recounts personal experiences to illustrate critical lessons that every internal auditor will likely learn during their own journeys in the profession.
"I have learned a number of important lessons in my career — some early on, some much later," Chambers says. "The paradox of what you pick up later in life is you have less time to apply those lessons. But if I can help just one internal auditor become better prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in this profession, then my efforts writing this book will be well worth it."
Building and sustaining relationships with internal audit stakeholders
Demonstrating value
Deploying risk-based audit planning and the dynamic nature of risk
Achieving and sustaining a "seat at the table"
Chambers' career is unique in so many ways — across government and private and not-for-profit sectors — that there are sure to be key takeaways for new and seasoned practitioners alike. "Whether it's in internal auditing or life in general," Chambers writes, "we all aspire to make this world a better place, even if only in small ways."

Alumna Marie Fonrose, PhD '03 Outlines Her Haiti Mission01/29/2010
Alumna Marie Fonrose, PhD '03 who lost 11 relatives in the recent Haiti earthquake outlines her Haiti mission below.
To donate money to support Marie in her work in Haiti, send checks to Saybrook University, attention the Alumni Association Haiti Fund or go to http://www.saybrook.edu/phs/support Be sure to designate your donation in support of the Alumni Haiti Fund.
Marie will be leaving for Haiti on February 16th for her first 5 week mission.
From Marie:
Helping people heal and find meaning after the earthquake (Haiti)
The purpose of this trip is to facilitate people in their growth to becoming healthy and balanced after this devastation. In service, my intent will be to serve the whole person utilizing an eclectic approach in the context of the culture. A combination of education, counseling (individual and group), spirituality, and sharing provides the opportunity to the growth process.
Action Plan
Phase I
Individual crisis counseling: Assists earthquake survivors in understanding their current situation and reactions, reviewing their options, and linking them with other individuals and agencies (church) that may assist them.
Group crisis counseling: Includes providing/facilitating support groups. Train leaders in church to lead their own group. Group counseling will be very instrumental in cultural context since many of the sufferers were not able to go through the process of burying their loved ones.
Education: Includes the distribution of psycho-educational information on the crisis counseling-related topics. Educational information may be provided will be provided via public announcement, brochures, flyers, and training to human services personnel.
Assessment and referral: Assessment determines the need for a deeper level of services than can be provided at this time. A list will be developed and shared with the larger organizations who will be leading the mental health component of the project.
Phase II
Assessment—Summarize phase I and develop an action plan to help address the issues that surfaced in phase I. Organize mass training so communities will be able to hold their own via group counseling.
Service—provide services to individuals who pose major risk (safety and welfare).
• Journaling/expressive arts: These can provide an individual with a sense of mastery or control over existing circumstances. This is particularly important after a disaster or trauma where an individual feels a sense of helplessness.
Alumna Sunny Massad, PhD '00 Releases New Book, UnTherapy01/29/2010
From a press release: UnTherapy Can Release Self-defeating Patterns
UnTherapy speaks to the hearts and souls of self-improvement junkies who find
themselves teetering on the brink of burnout as a result of working on themselves for years on
end. Self-improvement can be self-abusive because the constant drive to fix, cure, and acquire,
prevents peace of mind in the present, says Dr. Sunny Massad, a prominent psychologist in
Honolulu. Stressed but otherwise healthy people need to learn coping skills that traditional
counselors often don't have the training to provide. In fact, traditional therapy may actually stunt
the growth of individuals on a 'spiritual path, Massad explains.
Sunny Massad, Ph.D., originator of the trademarked counseling system called UnTherapy, is also
the author of the upcoming book UnTherapy: A Positive Psychology for Enlightened Living.
She is the President and Founder of the Hawaii Wellness Institute, a nonprofit training
organization in Honolulu, Hawaii, and has a thriving counseling practice. Massad will embark on a
book tour that will start in Honolulu and the Hawaiian islands in January followed by the Paciïfic Northwest,
the San Francisco Bay Area and then Southern California in February.
This is not your ordinary book tour, promises Massad. In addition to the book reading and
signings at each venue, I will provide a free one-hour interactive workshop, demonstrating
UnTherapy by using real issues shared by members of the audience. People will have an
opportunity to learn how to reframe their problems so that they can move beyond old habits of
blame and shame and other self-sabotaging beliefs and behaviors. Massad says she is determined
to bring practical tools for increasing self awareness into the hands of the masses.

The book is intended to be of interest to mental health researchers and mental health-care practitioners.
'Mental Health' is used here to refer to mental well-being in clinical and non-clinical samples. The term 'Anomalous Experience' is taken to refer to a broad variety of experiences, including spiritual, religious, extraordinary or exceptional experiences, aberrant perceptions or beliefs. Examples of suitable topics include (but are not restricted to): hearing voices; bereavement hallucinations; end-of-life experiences; paranormal and religious experiences, shamanistic, and (where links to mental health can be elaborated) religious or paranormal investigative practices. Contributions which draw on one or more of the following areas or related fields are welcome: anthropology; medicine; palliative care, psychology, religious studies, sociology.
Interested contributors (authors together with any co-authors) are invited to submit a title, author biographical description (no more than 100 words for each author/co-author) and full contact addresses along with an abstract (250 words in length) no later than Friday 19th February via email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Proposed contributions will be reviewed by the editor and inclusion in the book will be confirmed by Monday March 15th. Full manuscripts (6000 words in length including references, APA style) will be required by Wednesday 14th July. Publication is anticipated in early 2011.

Division 51's Journal of Trauma and Dissociation Invites Submissions01/29/2010
Trauma, Dissociation, and Intimate Relationships
A Special Issue of the Journal of Trauma and Dissociation
The guest editors are inviting submissions on the associations among trauma, dissociation,
and intimate relationships.
In addition to its impact on individual psychological well-being, trauma creates barriers
to healthy interpersonal functioning. This is not limited to romantic relationships because
intimate connections with family members, friends, co-workers, and community members
can also be affected. Given the importance of healthy relationships for psychological health,
it isimperative that research addressing these issues for survivors of trauma be made
available to the research and clinical communities, and to the general public. We
primarily are seeking reports of original research and comprehensive reviews/meta-analyses
of existing research, but case studies, clinical conceptualization, and theoretical papers also
will be considered. All submissions will undergo peer review. Submissions will be evaluated for
topic relevance, methodological rigor, scientific and/or clinical value, and
implications for application.
Complete submissions will be accepted until December 1, 2010. Please refer
to the journal website for specific submission requirements (including a
required author assurance/ submission checklist) and more information about the

Alumna Renee Levi, PhD 03 has been associated with the Powers of Place Initiative over the last year.
You are invited to visit the new Powers of Place website: www.powersofplace.com
The web site, which explores how place, space and environment contributes to individual and collective transformation, was created by a small but growing international network of people supported by the Fetzer Institute. We believe that places are alive. We believe that right relationship between people and place results in tremendous transformative power. Over the past two years we've convened a series of meetings and research initiatives, the results of which are now available on our site.
We hope and suspect that the site will not only confirm what you've suspected all along, but also stimulate your thinking in new and unexpected ways. We expect that it will introduce you to a vital network of international practitioners who are together defining and shaping this new field of study and practice. We would be honored if you join us and hope that you'll add your experience to our growing knowledge base as this important new field takes shape.
Saybrook Alumni Haiti Effort01/15/2010
Dear Saybrook Faculty, Staff, Board Members, and Alumni,
Earlier, I spoke with Saybrook alumna and immigrant from Haiti, Marie Fonrose, Ph.D. '03, who thinks that mental health issues are going to become more serious in Haiti as this crisis progresses. She has an uncle in Haiti who is already showing signs of earthquake related stress, including delusions. The lack of food and water, and the potential for disease are systemic, and the situation will no doubt continue to get worse. People living in suburban areas just outside the city are already out of water and food, and relief efforts have not reached them. Marie would like to go to Haiti and offer therapy and counseling, especially in areas that are going unnoticed by larger humanitarian efforts.
The Alumni Association and Saybrook University would like to help Marie with the purchase of a plane ticket and living expenses, so she can go to Haiti for a month or two as a therapist/counselor. Marie has experience as a therapist, has worked with Haitian immigrants in the DC area, and knows the language and culture of Haiti, having immigrated to the US at the age of 12. She is also experiencing this current devastation from a personal perspective, with 11 of her relatives having died in this quake, including a half-brother, aunts and uncles, and cousins.
If you'd like to help Marie go to Haiti, send Tax-Deductible Donations written to Saybrook University to my attention at the address below. You can also make a donation on the website to the Alumni Campaign Fund http://saybrook.edu/phs/support . Please send an email to the email@example.com , letting me know what portion of your donation should be designated for this effort.
May our hearts and prayers go out to the people of Haiti,

Book Passage, 51 Tamal Vista Blvd, Corte Madera, CA
Saturday Feb. 6th, 4pm
Kirk was interviewed by Michael Toms of New Dimensions radio
Airs Jan. 27-Feb. 2 Worldwide (according to Kirk, this was a very spirited and informative show in my view), See Below:
New Dimensions Media is featuring an interview with Kirk Schneider, on its worldwide broadcast schedule, in January.
Reawakening to Life's Great Adventure Hosted by Michael Toms. Program 3327
It will air the week, January 27 – February 2, 2010 (broadcast week begins on Wednesdays) on stations throughout the U.S. and Australia. You can also hear it streaming for free on the New Dimensions website for two weeks beginning Jan 27th or you can download it for a small fee beginning Jan 1st. Go to "Listening Options" in their website for a list of stations and carry "New Dimensions."
REAWAKENING TO LIFE'S GREAT ADVENTURE with KIRK J. SCHNEIDER, Ph.D.
Topics explored in this dialogue:
* How our culture insulates us from experiencing awe
* Why is awe important in your life
* Why we are drawn to horror films and science fiction
* How your dog or cat can help you tap into the awesomeness of life
* Why efficiency interferes with inspiration
From the dark terror of his own breakdown, Kirk Schneider has come to live in a state of awe. He explored the roots of his nightmares and anxiety, and the habits that kept him depressed and disengaged, and found that life is something to marvel at. Now he shares the long, winding road he traveled from there to here, and offers guideposts each of us can use to find our own way. Join him as he explains the reasons we spend so much of our lives disengaged from our sense of wonder, and the many tools and teachers that surround us, ready to help us regain it. The rewards, he assures us, are many. "Awe is a vital way of experiencing life," he says. "It has the capacity to lift one out of one's narrow identifications. We so often get stuck in certain fears or judgments. And awe is able to acknowledge that we're creatures, we're anxious, we're fragile somewhat. But at the same time it points us to the more--the more of who we are and the more of what we're participating in." Inspired by the wisdom of Dr. Schneider you'll find a renewed capacity to occupy parts of your being that you may not have considered before--your most vital, essential self.

The Seahawks have been hit hard with injuries, but the one bit of good news today was the return of receiver Mike Williams who "had an excellent" practice, according to coach Pete Carroll.
"You wouldn't even know he was banged up," Carroll said.Williams has been bothered by a thigh bruise just above his knee and missed a few days of practice this week.
Carroll said quarterback Charlie Whitehurst had a excellent week of practice.Guard Chester Pitts was absent today because he had to attend a funeral. He's expected to return Sunday and will start at left tackle.Carroll said rookie offensive tackle Russell Okung ankle is "as doubtful as you can get," and OT Tyler Polumbus knee is going to be a game-time decision.
Defensive tackle Brandon Mebane calf is a game-time decision and rookie receiver Golden Tate ankle is out.Fullback Michael Robinson hamstring is also extremely doubtful and Carroll, which poses a problem because he doubles as the emergency quarterback.
Currently the Seahawks have just one healthy QB on the roster and Carroll was vague about how the team will remedy the problem.

Performance Nutrition Basics
With so many products to choose from in the Sports Nutrition category it can be overwhelming for consumers to determine what to purchase. Always remember the single most important supplement you can take is a high quality multi vitamin. I like to think of multi vitamins as the body's nutritional insurance policy.
Consider this: the human body is literally a big chemistry set. Although most athletes understand the important role carbohydrates, fats and protein play in our diets, many fail to realize our food choices may lack the quality vitamins and minerals needed to support our metabolism at its highest level.*
For example: Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) is primarily responsible for carbohydrate metabolism along with the function of the nervous system.* Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) is an important agent in the repair of all cells following rigorous training or competition!* Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) is crucial in the metabolism of sugar, fat and protein.* Vitamin B15 (Pangamate or Pangamic Acid) is known for its ability to increase blood and oxygen supplies to tissue.* Magnesium is a mineral essential to muscle contraction.* The lack of this key mineral can result in fatigue, spasms, muscle twitching and muscle weakness (A condition any athlete wants to avoid!).1 These are just a few examples of the role vital nutrients play in the performance of strength and endurance athletes.
Athletes (including active individuals) burn through these micro nutrients at a much faster pace than average people, and that will ultimately play a critical roll in your overall performance.*
If you want to be a successful athlete or simply perform at your peak level, you need to provide your body with everything it needs. Multi vitamins deliver micro nutrients at the cellular level to help maintain a healthy metabolism!* They are involved in thousands of metabolic functions throughout our day from building muscle tissue, to breaking down sugars and fats for energy consumption.*

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- City leaders are considering developing a seven-person committee to examine the rates and fees for use of the Albany Civic Center and Albany Municipal Auditorium to see if they may be too high, officials say.
Approved at Tuesday's work session, the measure would create a committee of appointees of the city commission that would "review the situation and develop action recommendations," according to information presented to commissioners.
From a financial standpoint, both facilities are far from self-sustaining with the city budgeting more than $1.2 million annually for the Civic Center and more than $56,000 for operations at the auditorium.
But despite the taxpayer subsidies, some city officials believe that the rates to rent both facilities put them out of reach for smaller organizations. Some believe the rates should be lowered -- even it increases the city's financial obligation -- so that the facilities are used more often.
Tuesday, four options were presented to the commission by city staff.
The first was to leave the rates unchanged and "stay the course." The benefit to that option, according to city staff, is that equity in event administration stays in place and the focus on recouping as many losses as possible stays fixed. The cons to this plan are that it doesn't address the numerous complaints received about the rates and could reduce the number of rental days.
Option two would set up and fund some type of annual competitive event assistance process that would allow for non-profit or other event organizers to compete for funding similar to the existing competitive arrangement for community development funds. The pro is that each entity can make its case annually for funding assistance, with the con being the actual funding of the assistance and deciding on who would administer those funds.
Option three would develop a request for proposals for one or both of the facilities to be privately managed. According to city staff, smaller markets like Albany are not desirable for private companies and the city would have to relinquish full rights and controls.
Speaking in support of the committee option, Mayor Willie Adams said that naming a group to examine the issue is a good idea.
"I support that option because it gets the community involved," Adams said. "Both of these venues are a community service that we provide."
The fees have come under increased scrutiny as complaints continue to mount about the affordability of the venues for smaller organizations who are suffering during the economic downturn.
"The majority of the complaints appear to come from those wanting to use the auditorium," Assistant City Manager Wes Smith said. "The smaller groups and nonprofits that are wanting to host pageants and plays and the like."
"People just don't seem to realize that on average for a small play it costs us around $3,500," Smith said.
But the affordability issue isn't limited to just smaller groups. The city got a taste of the rate issue when the banquet for the annual Quail Unlimited event, which is touted by local officials as a major economic boon to the area, moved from the Civic Center two years ago to take advantage of more affordable facilities at Darton College.
While other political factors may have entered into that decision, ultimately it resulted in what many on the commission fear will happen -- the loss of quality events and two facilities that sit largely dormant.
"The bottom line is that the commission is weighing taking on the additional costs of lower rates in exchange for booking more events and providing more opportunities in Albany," Smith said.

Bridgwater Town skipper and centre back Chris McGrath makes a comeback in tonight's home game against Wimborne Town in Division One South and West of the Evo-Stik Southern League.
McGrath, once on the books of Liverpool, has been sidelined for a month with a groin problem.
He joined Bridgwater from Taunton along with several of his team-mates at Wordsworth Drive.
Bridgwater have had their last ten matches over a period of six weeks postponed because of the bad weather but tonight's game is certain to go ahead following the sunshine and drying wind of the past three days.
Bridgwater Town (home v Wimborne Town, from): Purnell, Viney, Veal P, Middleton, Simpson, Mountford, Fitzpatrick, McClennan, Vance, Merceica, Veal C, Legg, Salem, MacNab, Farnham, Sims, Govier, Chamberlain, McGrath, Venning.
Cinderford Town host Mangotsfield United in one of several other games taking place in this division tonight.
Fifth-placed Paulton Rovers are at home to Abingdon (7.30pm), while Shortwood United can close a six-point gap on Tiverton with victory against the Devon side.

Children as young as nine should learn about pornography and how to view it, according to a recent report about personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education in the U.K. Ofsted (the U.K. government body that inspects schools) says that primary school children must be taught not only about the "mechanics of reproduction" but also about safe sex, relationships, sexuality and, yes, pornography.
I can already hear the outrage and distaste were a proposal to teach pornography as part of sex education to quite young children be introduced in the U.S.!
Look a bit more closely at Ofsted's rationale and, whether you think 9-year-olds should learn how to view pornography or not, it's clear that the impetus is to better prepare students for the realities presented by the world today.
PSHE education currently focuses overly much on "teaching about friendships," leaving them poorly prepared for puberty, says the report. "Children as young as nine are increasingly accessing pornographic internet sites," Ofsted points out, and without sex education that acknowledges such, children could be at risk of being subjected to "sexual exploitation" or "inappropriate behavior."
178 students who were interviewed for the report noted they are taught about abortion and contraception. But they also said they felt that sex education instruction "avoided discussing controversial topics such as sexual abuse, homosexuality and pornography." The result is that the safety of children and teenagers is being compromised as they are not receiving help in protecting themselves "from unwanted physical or sexual contact or sexual exploitation." Says Ofsted:
Lack of high-quality, age-appropriate sex and relationships education in more than a third of schools is a concern as it may leave children and young people vulnerable to inappropriate sexual behaviours and sexual exploitation. This is because they have not been taught the appropriate language or developed the confidence to describe unwanted behaviours or know where to go to for help.
As the Guardian points out, ChildLine counsellors say they are receiving more and more — around 50 — calls a month from "teenagers upset by pornography." Simply shielding children from such websites and teaching them about "friendships and relationships" could have the unintended effect of endangering them.
Should Schools Be Responsible for Teaching Students about Pornography?
The call for training teachers to instruct students about the dangers of pornography comes from the U.K.'s Association of Teachers and Lecturers. The union has passed a resolution that "schools must ensure that pornography does not become seen as so normal that youngsters expect it to be part of everyday life."
The U.K.'s Department for Education is indeed leaving it up to teachers to "the freedom to tailor their teaching so it meets the needs of their pupils' as "the best people to fix this problem are teachers on the ground, not politicians in Westminster."
As Elizabeth Schroeder, the executive director of Answer, a national sex-education organization based at Rutgers University, said to the New York Times in 2012: "Your child is going to look at porn at some point. It's inevitable." She also says that "if we flip out, freak out or go crazy about it, we're giving a very set message," one that leads children to feel they will be "judged or punished" if they ask about pornography. Other experts note that the most common mistake parents make about pornography on the Internet is "to wait to have the conversation until some incident precipitates it."
Ofsted is taking a pro-active stance in calling for children to be taught about pornography. It goes without saying that the Internet has become a routine part of any students' education; teachers are seeking a way to address the fact that, on the Internet's "information highway," students are just going to encounter inappropriate content. Instead of nervously shooing away or outright shielding children from a pornography site, the Ofsted report calls for instructing them about it and preparing them in advance.
Is this asking too much from teachers? Could such instruction backfire?
Or is Ofsted's proposal a timely acknowledgement of what we need to prepare children for in the Internet age?

I think the governments are more perverted than anyone. What an incredibly immoral institution to start than porn for children. Will they be shown every kind of filth that is available and where would it stop? Largest no on this than anything else!
I think it is not a good idea .
I do not think teaching kids about porn is appropriate in schools. Parents should warn kids about it at an appropriate age and even talk to their kids about how demeaning it is to both men and women. Schools need to focus on teaching kids about positive things, what they want to do in the future, not fill their heads with porn!
They don't need it, its already on Tele , magazines, etc. Give it a break !
children's access to this sort of thing at that age is not appropriate. where are the parents? why are children anywhere with unristricted computer use? if all parents could get the issue there wouldnt be one. 9 years old! thats 4th grade! let them be CHILDREN for F#$%@ sake!
I think education like this should remain in the hands of parents.
Children should stay innocent for as long as possible, being a grown up is not as much fun as children think it is.
But.... Things are different today, the internet is here now and children are accessing things they shouldn't, no matter how strict or careful parents are. Mischief is a part of life and that is all it is to children of that age.
Making something taboo, only makes it more appealing, maybe telling them all this stuff and watching them see porn would be so embarrassing it may curb their curiosity, make them more informed so they will wait until the right time to act.
I do think that nine is a bit young though, what will it be in 2015? 7? And what about in 2040? Will they be setting up video links in the womb?
next thing you know they will be teaching them how to have sex, a line has to be drawn somewhere to protect the children from idiots like these, they don't need to know this shit, they need to be taught how to avoid things like this, let them have their childhood
of course NOT

This article describes the Automatic Skip Driver Agent tool (Asd.exe) in Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition (Me).
More information
Automatic Skip Driver Agent identifies devices that can cause Windows 98 or Windows Me to stop responding (hang) when you start your computer, and then disables them so that they are bypassed when you next restart your computer.
To start Automatic Skip Driver, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, click System Information, and then click Automatic Skip Driver Agent on the Tools menu.
For more information about how to use the Microsoft System Information tool, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

TITLE : Description of Microsoft System Information (Msinfo32.exe) Tool
All devices or operations that have failed to start are listed by Automatic Skip Driver Agent. You can use Automatic Skip Driver Agent to enable any device it has previously disabled, and Windows then tries to use the device when you next restart your computer. If this device or operation does not start correctly, your computer stops responding.
If you then restart your computer for a third time, Automatic Skip Driver Agent prevents the device or operation from running, and when your computer starts, click Details to identify the device or operation that does not start correctly and then display a suggested course of action.
If Automatic Skip Driver Agent is unable to locate any errors, you may receive a message stating so, and you can then click OK to quit Automatic Skip Driver Agent.
NOTE: Devices disabled by Automatic Skip Driver Agent to allow Windows to start are recorded in the Asd.log file.
