The Wisconsin mens soccer team found its way west of the Mississippi River for the first time in more than two years Friday, but the Badgers couldnt find their way past San Diego in a 3-0 loss to open the Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Central Tournament.
A penalty-kick goal late in the first half proved to be the game-winner for the Toreros, who tacked on a pair of scores against a short-handed UW defense in the second period to remain unbeaten on the season. San Diego (3-0-0) also stifled Wisconsins attack, holding the Badgers (1-1-1) scoreless on just five shots.
I dont think we played to our potential tonight, UW head coach Todd Yeagley said. Credit San Diego, though, because they looked sharp from the start and put us under some pressure.
After a stalemate in the early going, the Toreros put one in the back of the net late in the first half, as the Badgers surrendered a penalty kick when Pablo Delgado was red-carded for a foul in the 42nd minute. Conor McFadden took the attempt for USD and made it count.
We were really playing out of it and finding our form late in the first half, and then we had the red card and the PK, Yeagley said. That was a tough one.
McFaddens tally was the first of the season against senior goalkeeper Alex Howath, who had his run of three-consecutive shutouts snapped. Horwath hadnt allowed a goal in nearly 360 minutes, dating back to last season.
On the other end, it took 29 minutes for the Badgers to tally their first shot, which Austin Spohn launched high. San Diego had tallied six shots by that point, including four that Horwath put a glove on.
Scott Lorenz finally put a shot on frame for UW five minutes later, with USD goalkeeper Kelin Briones snagging it for his first save. Lorenz followed with another shot on goal just a minute-and-a-half later, but it was the last time the Badgers would challenge Birones.
Lorenz had three of the Badgers shots, with Spohn and Bryan Gerster providing the others.
Stephen Posa tacked on the Toreros second goal in the 72nd minute, and Kyle Ochoa provided the final tally in the 83rd minute.
I thought the guys battled well in the second half down a man, and we did some nice things trying to create that equalizer, Yeagley said. We left ourselves a little vulnerable, though, and those second and third goals came from us trying to claw our way back.
The Badgers, who have been limited to a single goal in the first three matches, will look to bounce back Sunday in a 2 p.m. (CST) matchup with host San Diego State.

In addition, the programme meets various expenses including return trip, social security cover, and cultural activities. Scholarship-holders might also be eligible for additional accommodation allowance under certain conditions.
Tuition fees are not covered by the Eiffel Programme.
Nationality: This programme is reserved for candidates of non-French nationality. Candidates with two nationalities, one of which is French, are not eligible.

The Bob Pompeani Show Read More
PITTSBURGH (KDKA 93-7 THE FAN) — Bob Pompeani visited with CBSSports.com NFL columnist Pete Prisco before the Bengals game.
Prisco told Pompeani that Troy Polamalu is not playing well right now, and appears heavy and slow.
Prisco gave Dick LeBeau a lot of credit for the way that the defense is playing despite the injuries and lack of depth at cornerback.
He also warned Steelers fans to be concerned about the Bengals.

Light in the Darkness; Hanukkah's optimistic/mystic spirit [Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz on Hanukkah, video]
At sundown today, the 21st of December 2008 and the 25th of Kislev on the Jewish calendar begins the celebration of Hanukkah. So pull out your menorah and light the lights, it's the Jewish Christmas right?
Not exactly. It does share a common ancestor, the Roman celebration of the birth of Sol, the unconquerable sun. The same day that Christianity later instituted as the birthday of Jesus. The 25th of Kislev does not always coincide with the Roman calender but the seasonal significance is the same. Solstice is the annual dark night of the seasons and also the turning point of returning light. Historically, Hanukkah commemorated the overthrow of the Greeks by the Maccabean resistance fighters and the restoration of the desecrated temple. Partial origins of the Holiday are described by the Rabbis in the Talmud,
On the twenty-fifth of Kislev the eight days of Hanukkah begin, on which lamentation for the dead and fasting are forbidden. For when the Greeks entered the Temple, they defiled all the oils in it, and when the Hasmonean dynasty prevailed over them and defeated them, they searched and found only one bottle of oil sealed by the High Priest. It contained only enough for one day's lighting. Yet a miracle was brought about with it, and they lit with that oil for eight days.
Video has expired. Many more videos here.
A VIDEO of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz on the Historical Symbolism of Hanukkah
Therefore every year the menorah is lit, eight lights to commemorate the eight days of light in the Temple and a ninth to provide a radiance for practical use, being as none of the eight lights may be used to any end but for reverence and remembrance. A kabbalistic menorah is depicted at the top of the page, in a mystical sense, pronunciation of the letters transforms the speaker into a channel for the sacred, or the flame of illumination. Similarly, the lighting of the Hanukkah lamp can be seen to reflect the soul engulfed by the radiance of divine presence.
I have cherished the spirit and messages of Judaism for years now and believe in many of its lessons. The light of this season and this year is now coming to an end and yet the world is threatening to grow darker. Still, I hold out the hope of a lasting light, one that will provide us with wisdom and compassion in the year to come and prevail long enough to see us through to the renewal of ourselves and this world. May we find peace within ourselves and tolerance amongst our brothers and sisters, cherishing new found hopes and discarding the dross of fear and alienation.

Here's the video of the officials and players digging around in Antti Niemi's pants:
Here's the video of the officials and players digging around in Antti Niemi's pants:
Teuvo Teravainen has played both center and right wing over the course of his brief NHL career.
Now, he's got a new position — left wing — and a pair of shiny new linemates to boot.
Teravainen will open the year playing alongside captain Jonathan Toews and right wing Marian Hossa, per the Sun-Times.
The move could be a boon for the young Finn. Several ex-Chicago wingers thrived playing alongside Toews and Hossa, most notably Brandon Saad and Patrick Sharp.
It'll be interesting to see what kind of production Teravainen, who just turned 21 last month, can manufacture on Chicago's top line. His numbers from last year weren't spectacular (nine points in 34 games), but he did a solid job of racking up points en route to the Stanley Cup, with 10 in 18 games.
It'll also be interesting to see how long he sticks with Toews and Hossa.
Head coach Joel Quenneville has been known as a frequent user of the line blender, often switching up his combos at at moment's notice.
That said, Quenneville is hoping to find some stability with this new-look group.
"[Teuvo will] play there to start the season," he said. "Hopefully, all year."
Pretty cool story out of Texas, where Mattias Janmark, the 22-year-old rookie that's played a grand total of nine games in North America, has defied the odds to make the Stars' opening-night roster.
"It's a great story," Dallas GM Jim Nill said, per the Morning News. "We really only planned to have him here for maybe two preseason games and then send him back. But he just kept being one of the best players out there, and he changed our minds.
"It's a great example of what you can do if you just play hard."
Nill acquired Janmark, 22, from Detroit at last year's deadline as part of the Erik Cole trade. Nill was familiar with the Swedish forward from his time with the Wings — he was part of the front office team that drafted Janmark in '13 — but didn't think the deal would pay such immediate dividends.
As for Janmark, he didn't even think he'd be in North America this year.
He has a contract with SHL club Frolunda, where he scored 36 points in 55 games last year. Given he's barely played in the AHL — a few games with Grand Rapids, a few with Texas — Janmark figured he'd be back in Europe this season.
His strong play in the exhibition season changed all that. Janmark beat out two of Dallas' touted prospects — former AHL rookie of the year Curtis McKenzie, and '12 first-rounder Radek Faksa — for a roster spot, and showed good chemistry with third-line center Cody Eakin.
Janmark also performed well on a line with Jason Spezza and Ales Hemsky.

Teaching portfolio
Why do I need a teaching portfolio?
Teaching portfolios are now considered as the norm for demonstrating the quality of university teaching. The University of Sydney and the Business School value both quality teaching and research. A teaching portfolio is useful for demonstrating reflective quality teaching in performance reviews, promotions, teaching awards and when applying for an academic position.
What is a teaching portfolio?
A teaching portfolio is a concise (500-750 words) reflective document that summarises your approach to teaching and learning in your discipline(s). Teaching should be understood here to incorporate NOT only the wide range of interactions with students at all levels (whether face-to-face or via print, electronic and other media), but also planning and presentation, student assessment and the evaluation and further improvement of teaching. Teaching also involves scholarly activity and leadership, especially at senior levels.
Areas of inclusion in your teaching portfolio
Your approach to learning and teaching in your discipline(s)/ your philosophy of learning and teaching
Everyone has a different approach to this, so every teaching portfolio is unique. Importantly the relationships between your approach to teaching, the way you design learning and teaching experiences (the curriculum) and learning outcomes your students achieved needs to be explored throughout your portfolio. Your teaching portfolio provides evidence of significant endeavours and achievements in learning and teaching and ongoing reflection and evolution of your learning and teaching practice.
How you design curriculum in ways that are associated with quality students learning, e.g. a variety of assessment tasks that support the learning and demonstration of unit/program learning outcomes, provision of timely and meaningful feedback that supports student learning, clear goals, incorporating online learning in ways that encourages active/collaborative/inquiry-based teaching etc.
When discussing research supervision you may wish to include reference to your approach to supervision, the outcomes that you wish your students to achieve.
Teaching performance
Evidence that your approach to learning and teaching/curriculum positively impacts on your students' learning (not just your students' satisfaction). Evidence should come from a range of self, peer and student sources.
Evidence of reflection on these sources to further develop teaching practice needs to be included.
Research-led teaching
Evidence that your curriculum engages students in research-based activities and/or draws on recent research in the field and/or develops knowledge and practice in relation to research methods in the field and/or encourages the use of primary resources and recent materials, and/or involves sharing insights from your own research to stimulate your students' inquiry and imagination.
Student-focused teaching
Evidence that student assessment, student/peer feedback, self-reflection activities, engagement in professional development are drawn upon to enhance students learning experience and outcomes. Include challenges for students in learning in your discipline and how you have sought to address these.
Scholarship in teaching
Evidence of systematic reflection and analysis (drawing upon research in learning and teaching in your discipline or more broadly) to further enhance your learning and teaching.
Evidence of continuing to knowledge in learning and teaching through peer-reviewed research that advances knowledge in learning and teaching within the discipline more broadly.
Leadership in teaching
Evidence of a positive impact of your leadership in learning and teaching beyond your own classroom e.g. In redesign of a curriculum through mentoring or engaging in collaborative peer review with colleagues, in coordinating a team (academic/tutorial staff) resulting in effective learning and teaching in a unit of study/major/program.

May 2013 Update
Ken & Sarah Beckley (1984)
Dear Prayer Partners,
The last two months were quite a ride! Our colleagues leaving for furlough...finishing the last three weeks of the Bible school program without them...late nights typing or printing the notes in Dendi...three kidney stones...almost three weeks in Nia-mey to get a new passport...two weddings for three cou-ples...and temperatures hovering around 110 every day! Yet there is the bright side - at night, it cools right down into the mid-80s!
We praise the Lord for varied ministries He has given as well as many blessings He brings along with the chal-lenges. With Colin and Teena Ovenell heading to the States for eight months of Home As-signment and the birth of another child, all the responsibilities of the ministries here have fallen on our shoulders. It is a bless-ing to see different village churches con-tinue their ministries of evangelism and edification. Even the new church plant in Couberi is continuing and doing well with the help of some men from our local Guene church.
Ken enjoys opportunities to teach classes in the Dendi Bible school program. This year's course on Prophecy (Daniel and Revelation) was no exception. The one chal-lenge was that for most of the class, he was working with only half the texts he needed! The book of Daniel has not yet been translated, so Ken printed a summary of each chapter in the notes the students received. When they got to Revelation, they did have the New Testament in Dendi. However, our translators were behind in getting all the course notes translated for Ken. So he spent most nights typing and printing what he had just taught that day! We were able to finish all the notes be-fore the end of class, so the students had a complete set to take home with them!
We then traveled the very rough road north to Nia-mey, the capital of Niger, to get a new passport for An-drew. The turnaround is supposed to be 10 days or less, but the State Department took a little longer this time! Sarah continued to teach the boys, while Ken purchased equipment and supplies and helped the boys with some of their courses. He was also able to make some helpful contacts regarding the translation work.
Yes, the hot season is here, making school and all other activities challenging. But the Lord provides the strength and grace we need each day. We are grateful for our solar system, which provides power to run small fans at night. The best gift during hot season is mangos!
Another blessing: we are anticipating the soon arrival of a good friend and colleague from Mali! For 23 years, Cindy Faile has directed the women's program at our Bible school in Mali. She also trained women in the local churches to evangelize and disciple women and chil-dren. Because of the current problems in Mali, she has not been able to return to her ministry there.
For years, the churches here in Benin have seen the need for more training of women. Cindy has committed to serving with us for a year and a half, to help us do here what she has done there so well!
Speaking of Mali—it has been interesting to see the development of events over the past year! During our years of ministry, many people asked us, "Where is Mali?!" or " Do you mean Maui?" We have often said, "If you haven't heard of Mali, that's good; because countries in Africa only make the news when they have a war or disaster!"
Well, unfortunately now everybody knows where Mali is! All the Christians had to leave their homes and ministries when the Jihadists invaded a year ago. We praise the Lord for the new ministries they have initiated where they are living in the south.
Unfortunately, the "liberation" of the last few weeks has only driven the "bad guys" into hid-ing. With the ongoing guerilla war, it is still not safe for the Christians to move back home. Pray that God will give them wisdom in their current ministries. Pray that they will also know when and if it will be safe to return home to the north.
? Is this word spelled "kpatako" or "kpataako"?
? Here we have "Gɛrisom", and a few chapters later, "Gɛrisɔ͂". Are these the same person's name, but one misspelled, or are they two different people?
? In this verse, is the word "beere", "bɛrɛ", "bɛɛrɛ", "bɛrɛɛ" or "beire"?
This is just a small sample of the many questions we are asking each day, while double-checking all the details in the first 10 books of the Old Testament. It is a slow, meticulous task , mak-ing sure we have all people and place names spelled properly and not confused with others, making sure our spelling is consis-tent, and trying to get all formatting and grammatical details correct! We plan to print a test-version of Genesis through 2 Samuel before the end of the year.
We praise God for the wisdom and strength He gives each day as He directs our efforts. Putting His word into the local languages, so that all may hear of His love, is not always easy, but it is reward-ing! Thank you for your prayers that we may be attentive to each detail to get it all right!
Oh—and those ques-tions? Here are the an-swers:
! kpataako
! These are two differ-ent people—you can check them out in Exodus 2:22 and Exodus 6:16.
! Each of these are proper spellings of different words in Dendi. We need to check all 383 verses where one of these words is used, and make sure we used the right spelling, based on the context! And remember, we don't have Dendi spelling and grammar checkers on our computers!
In Christ,
The Beckleys

Yes, I am afflicted with "TiVo guilt"
I can't disagree. I don't know about you, but I'm always checking my DVR list to see what's stacked up that I still have to watch. It's not that I feel like I have to watch these shows -- after all I recorded them because I want to see them -- but there is a burden attached.
According to Berens, what I'm experiencing is called "opportunity costs," and my TiVo viewing has become -- believe it or not -- homework!

Simpsons to spoof Mad Men, Peanuts on Halloween episode - VIDEOS
The classic Peanuts show is one of the segments spoofed (it's called "It's The Great Pumpkin, Milhouse") on the annual Halloween episode of the show. The other segments include a Transformers spoof (the robots try to destroy Springfield, of course), and the segment I'm most looking forward to, a Mad Men takeoff. Seems that advertising agencies hire Homer to kill celebrities so they can make a bunch of money off of their likenesses. It's called "How To Get Ahead In Deadvertising." We'll see Homer falling off of a building a la Mad Men's opening credits.
As is often the case, the Simpsons "Treehouse of Horror" episode will actually air after Halloween, on November 2. After the jump, a video retrospective of the show's Halloween episodes and a sneak peek at one of the scenes from the new one.
Bill Melendez, animator and voice of Snoopy, dead at 91 - VIDEO
Melendez was an animator for Walt Disney Studios in the 1930 and 40s, working on such classic movies as Fantasia and Pinocchio and Mickey Mouse shorts, then went on to make tons of movies, cartoons and commercials (he worked on many Bugs Bunny shorts and other famous cartoons) for well-known companies such as United Productions of America (where he was an animator on Gerald McBoing McBoing) and Playhouse Pictures. He then met Charles Schulz in 1959 and went on to animate (and often direct and produce) most of the Peanuts TV specials, including A Charlie Brown Christmas, A Boy Named Charlie Brown, It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and many, many others. Many people don't know this but he was also the voice of both Snoopy and Woodstock (they didn't talk, of course, but he did all of the howls and other noises). He worked on TV versions of Cathy and Garfield too.
New TV on DVD releases this week
Wait a second: Honey West is out on DVD?! And it's not even one of those lame "Season 1, Volume 2" deals it's an actual complete series? I never thought this show would come out on DVD (Quark I thought might because of its cult status), but I find myself saying that less and less these days, and that's a good thing.
As for It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, that's not one of my favorite animated holiday specials, but I think I'll get it so I can say I have them all.

Arrested Development: The Easter eggs
If you are a devoted Arrested Development fan like me, you probably watched all episodes at least five times each if not more. But have you noticed all the Easter eggs featured on the show? They take the shape of props in the background, allusions to other TV series or movies, expressions, etc. If not, you may be interested in the post below where I list some of the Easter eggs featured on the show and where to find them.
If you recently got addicted to this gem of a show, you may want to print this article out and spot the eggs the second time you watch the series. Because, let's face it, you'll want to watch it again! And again! Oh, and again!

Coca-Cola: "Dueling Parade Balloons"
On a cool Thanksgiving morning old (Underdog) and new (Stewie from Family Guy) parade balloons battle it out for a inflatable bottle of Coca-Cola. As they cross the skyline of New York City fists fly and heads are butted. But, in the end, neither is the one who claims the prize. That honor goes to the honorable Charlie Brown, who seems to have finally won something in his life.
This was a cute and gentle commercial by Cola-Cola, which rarely disappoints when it comes to Super Bowl ads. I never realized that the Underdog and Stewie Thanksgiving Day balloons had such angry looks on their faces. That was an advantage in this commercial as we saw the two balloons battling it out. I enjoyed when Underdog slammed Stewie against the building. Nice job overall.

Charles Schulz's family not thrilled with PBS doc - VIDEO
I'll say right up front that I am a huge Charles Schulz fan. I think Peanuts is one of the most important things in the history of pop culture (not just comics, but in all of pop culture - film, literature, TV, music and art). It's the type of comic that's entertaining and fun for all of the obvious reasons but something that can also show you a little bit about how to live your life too. I mean, who doesn't like Snoopy or A Charlie Brown Christmas?
So I've been a little antsy about a new biography of Schulz that is coming out next week, Schulz and Peanuts: A Biography, by David Michaelis. It's a bio that supposedly gives a fuller picture of Schulz, including the sad, unhappy parts of his life. Now I see that I'm not the only one who is a little antsy about the book and a new American Masters that will profile Schulz too.

ABC re-airing A Charlie Brown Christmas this month
Just like last year, ABC is airing A Charlie Brown Christmas twice this year. If you missed it when it aired late last month, you can catch it again on ABC on Sunday, December 17 at 7 pm. I recorded the special when it aired in November but haven't yet gotten around to watching it. When I do finally get time to sit and watch it, I'll do my usual ritual of dousing the lights, unplugging the phone and immersing myself in the special as I've done every year since I was a kid. I could purchase the DVD, but I have no interest in that. I like keeping this special tied to the holiday season, it's like a gift I get to unwrap and enjoy at the end of every year. I only wish ABC had also re-aired It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, since my local station moved it to 3 am so they could air some insipid midterm election debate.

Money Help: Great investments your stockbroker never told you about
Until four years ago, the vast majority of my investments were in company stocks, bonds and mutual funds (which contained company stocks and bonds).
I began investing the day after I graduated from Purdue University. My employer had a 401(k) available through which it matched my investments 100 percent up to 8 percent of my pay. The match was in company stock, but the money that I personally invested via payroll deduction could be invested into a variety of mutual funds. These investments grew rapidly. Then the recession of the late '90s happened. Then Sept. 11 happened. Then 2008 happened. I personally experienced what many others experienced — my stock market investments all went down in value. The value of these investments fell even as many of the companies continued to perform extremely well.
"Financial experts" had always advised me to diversify my investments. The "diversification" options they offered were — surprise, surprise — other stock, bond and mutual fund investments. I observed first-hand the axiom that "a rising tide will lift all ships, and a lowering tide will lower all ships." In 2008, I resolved to diversify my investments so that only 50 percent of my portfolio would be in the stock market. In the process, I discovered incredible investment options that I would never have learned about from a stockbroker — probably because there were no broker commissions available.
The greatest investment one can make is in oneself. Investments in education and skills training can pay off by providing increased earnings potential. Starting a small business can provide a financial return as well as the incredibly satisfying work of fulfilling a dream. I was able to pursue my dream of helping others accomplish far more than they ever thought possible with their personal finances. As a result of taking this "risk," I have been able to literally teach more than 100,000 people and hear thousands of stories of financial freedom being achieved across the globe. This business has enabled me to further expand my dream to the point that I have been able to acquire another company and serve even more people across the world. It happened because I chose to diversify in 2008 by pursuing a dream. You can do it too.
If it isn't your dream to run a small business, consider investing in a small business. There are great leaders with terrific ideas that just need some additional funding to launch to the stratosphere.
Real estate is another great investment opportunity. Land, residential and commercial rental properties, and flipping houses have helped many people become millionaires.
Another great investment is to eliminate debt and bills. By reducing your cost of living, you can free up additional money for investment.

?Would that be due to Fast User Switching being set (by default on Home)?
It logged in automatically after setup but then it gives me the welcome screen with user and owner.<snip>First login worked. Subsequent logins didn't.
And FWIW, a TRUE Home OEM CD (supplied by the Manufacture, read that as "altered") just MIGHT be causing an "Owner" to be created (somewhere?). EVERY one I remember seeing (AFAICR, a/l HP/Compaq) had an "Owner" pre-built in.
Question - does the Source CD have ALL files in I386 the same date? (just look in Explorer and click the "Date" bar and scroll top/bottom)
Hmm... guess I could play with it a bit too.

A Global Education In 2013-14, Professor Lesleigh Cushing led sophomores on an excursion to Israel. Learn about upcoming opportunities below. Residential Classroom Students live and take SRS courses in Drake Hall. Accepted students live and study together, then immerse themselves further in the learning experience through travel with their faculty member. The application period for the 2015-16 academic year will begin in January, 2015. The program is a transformational series of intensive residential seminars for sophomores, made possible with a significant grant from the Mellon Foundation. Students who are selected will live and study together, meet regularly with the seminar professors and guest speakers in their residence hall, and engage in an embedded academic travel experience related to the course at no extra charge. Each spring, all Mellon Residential Seminar students will continue the dialog with a one-quarter-credit course with their professor. Applications Please click here to receive updates about the 2015-16 application cycle. Faculty teaching in the program will interview students during the first two weeks of February, 2015 and offer spots to students beginning February 23, 2015. Fall 2015 Seminars Challenges of Modernity (CORE) Empire and Its Aftermath: Caribbean Literature and Society (ENGL/ALST) Hunting, Eating, and Vegetarianism (ENST) Jerusalem: City of Gods (RELG/JWST) San Francisco: Immigrant and Sexual Cultures (SOAN/WMST/LGBT) CLASS DESCRIPTION CLASS DESCRIPTION CLASS DESCRIPTION CLASS DESCRIPTION CLASS DESCRIPTION CLASS DESCRIPTION What Students Are Saying "Amazing teacher, really passionate about the subject and makes you think way past the text" "Very interesting and brilliant" "Honestly one of the best professors I have had at this school" "Excellent professor. Intellectually stimulating and challenging. Open to new ideas and arguments." Program Advantages Better academic performance; More socially and academically supportive environments; Feeling more connected to their peers and to their program of study; Greater satisfaction with their overall college experience. Frequently Asked Questions Why should I consider Sophomore Residential Seminars? The seminars allow you to live and learn with other sophomores who share similar academic interests. The seminars also allow you to work closely with a Colgate professor over an entire year. How do I become a member of a seminar? The online application will be available beginning on January 2, 2015. Faculty teaching the Sophomore Residential Seminars will interview students during early February. Scheduling an appointment is done after you have successfully submitted your application. Once you click SUBMIT, you will be routed to a Google calendar site where you can select an interview time that works best for you. You must be logged in to Gmail with your Colgate username. The assignment of rooms and roommates will come later. How does the housing work? During the 2015-16 school year, three SRS classes (San Francisco, Empire, and Hunting) will be housed in Drake Hall, and two classes (Jerusalem, Modernity) will be housed in Cutten. By participating in this program, you will not have to take part in the housing lottery and selection later this spring. Does it cost anything to participate? No. There is no direct charge for your research trip or the field trips and other activities connected to the program. Do the seminar courses fulfill any distribution requirements? Yes – Existentialism (PHIL) will satisfy a "Human Thought and Expression" requirement, while Coffee and Cigarettes (HIST) will satisfy a "Social Relations, Institutions, and Agents" requirement. I'm really interested in multiple classes in the program. Is it possible to interview with two professors to improve my chances of getting into the program? There is no need to schedule multiple interviews. The professors will discuss their interviews in the processes of determining the final class lists. So while it's not possible to interview with more than one professor, you will still be considered for the seminars you list in order of your preference. How important is my GPA in considering my application? Your GPA is a factor, but it is far from the most important one. We realize that you've been at Colgate for only one semester, so it is a small sample size. If there are things you'd have us know about your first semester that put your GPA into perspective, please let us know about them in the application. What are the travel dates for the seminars? Many variables are considered when determining the specific travel dates of each program, such as cost of airfare and lodging, etc. Therefore, specific travel dates are currently not available. However, none of the trips will depart prior to January 2015 and families can anticipate trips taking place during the first two weeks in January. We want you to be home for the holidays and back with a bit of time to breathe before the semester begins. Who can I talk to if I have more questions? You can direct your questions to email@example.com.

Thought I'd write a quick little post to let all of you know how thankful I am for your continued support and friendship here.
It's been a crazy stressful year of work for me, and although there have been so many instances when I thought, "why does this have to be so friggin hard?!"… the truth is, I'm glad… I welcome "difficult", I guess.
I think it's an aspect of my personality that defines me. And I'm starting to come to terms with it. Perhaps it makes me feel more alive or something, I don't know… but I'm really happy that I've gotten to have some of the experiences I did this year… 117 degree desert heat waves and all.
And I can't tell you how grateful I am to the dozens of people who have assisted me along the way… way too many to list here.
Films aren't made alone. That's one of the distinctive aspects of this art. Although only a few names will end up really branding the project, the reality is that dozens, hundreds, even thousands of people had to work together to put that piece of entertainment on the screen for us.
So this is a general thank you to everyone who has helped me and my friends in this industry to bring our projects to life.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Man, it's been a long time since we've seen something from It's Just Some Random Guy, but he finally got around to completing the next chapter for Happy Hour.

Seeing how Marvel is pretty cool with what he is doing, then he'd be okay there, but DC is definitely not okay with what he is doing, so you'll never see this stuff collected until someone lightens up a great deal.
Nice effect there with the Teleport.

STILLWATER — Unfinished business.
That's the focus and the fuel for Oklahoma State, after the Cowboys were ushered out of last season's NCAA Tournament in an upset loss to Oregon in their opener.
STILLWATER — Unfinished business.
That's the focus and the fuel for Oklahoma State, after the Cowboys were ushered out of last season's NCAA Tournament in an upset loss to Oregon in their opener.
And there are plenty of players who feel that way, with eight players with starting experience returning, led by the Big 12's top three returning scorers — Marcus Smart, Markel Brown and Le'Bryan Nash.
It's time to get to work, in earnest, too, with practice starting Saturday for the Cowboys.
Here are five things to watch as the Cowboys get started:
1. How good can these Cowboys be?
Smart's decision to delay his pro career and return for a sophomore season — as the reigning Big 12 Player of the year — coupled with similar decisions by Brown and Nash, immediately established the Cowboys as a Big 12 and national contender. Beyond the big three, there's even more experience and talent, with Michael Cobbins, Brian Williams, Kamari Murphy and Phil Forte all worthy of major minutes and Marek Soucek again pressing for playing time and a cast of newcomers bidding for roles. The ceiling for this team? "There is none, none at all," Smart said. "It all comes down to us. No excuses. We have everyone back. It all comes down to how the dice rolls and how we make the dice roll. It's up to us. We control our own destiny."
2. Paint patrol
The Cowboys have seemingly been searching for big men now for several seasons. The hope for 2013-14 is that guy is already in place. Cobbins, who has struggled to add bulk to his 6-foot-8 frame, is up to 230 pounds and insistent that he's ready to be a legitimate big man. "I have to step up," Cobbins said. "I've got a bigger job this year. Basically, I've got to be a big bruiser on this team and man up down there. Defend the basket like I know how." Kamari Murphy, Soucek and junior college transfer Gary Gaskins offer depth inside.

Judge Dismisses Immigration Case for Driver that Killed Two Girls
Written by Rosemary Reynolds on August 19, 2014
PORTLAND — Cinthya Garcia-Cisneros was released from ICE custody August 14, 2014. That's According to the Public Affairs office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Tacoma. Cisneros case has been dismissed by an Immigration judge. No reasons for the decision have been shared at this point.
The eighteen-year-old ran over and killed two Forest Grove girls last October as they played in a pile of leaves in front of their home. One died at the scene the other died in the hospital. She left the scene of the accident knowing she ran something over but never went back to see what she hit. Her boyfriend is doing time for covering up evidence in the case. In January Cisneros was sentenced to three years probation on two counts of felony hit and run. She was immediately taken into custody by ICE and remained in Tacoma until last week.
"Today is like any other day without our girls. Through our grief we have chosen to love and celebrate the joy that they have brought into our lives and the lives of so many others. We don't want Anna and Abigail's lives to be remember by the tragedy but rather by the love story they are all teaching us to live," said Susan Dieter Robinson.

Motion to bring a Class Action Lawsuit Against Nevada Association Services, Inc. Denied
Homeowners Nicholas Otomo and Timothy McCright were seeking to certify a class action lawsuit naming Nevada Association Services, Inc.
The plaintiffs were challenging NAS, Inc.'s business practices to collect delinquent HOA assessments.
The court denied the Plaintiffs' motion for class certification, finding a lack of predominance of common interests of fact and law.
The plaintiffs argued in their motion that they had met the burden of law and that their suit met the requirements for filing as a class action suit.
The judge ruled that the required elements needed for a class action lawsuit, including numerosity, commonality and typicality, were not met.
The court disagreed with the plaintiffs' position and ruled that plaintiffs failed to craft a justifiable class.
David Stone of Nevada Association Services, Inc., said , "This is a win for homeowners associations. This ruling against the plaintiff takes away their ability to pursue huge judgments in a class action lawsuit. The courts analyzed why class action lawsuits are not suitable for HOAs. This analysis by the federal court may play a part in decisions on the ongoing investor lawsuits in state court."
Stone said the findings from the federal court could impact related state court cases.
"The impact of the judgments may very well chip away at the lifespan of ongoing state court litigation. The federal court case may provide clarity and guidance to the state court judges, considering legitimacy of the state class action lawsuits."
Nevada Association Services, Inc, (NAS, Inc.) is a licensed collections agency working with community associations throughout Nevada.

Japanese Potato Stew: Nikujaga
Presented by: Amy Snyder Ohta, from Kirkland
Cook's Note: When I saw your announcement about potato dishes, I immediately thought of this wonderful Japanese stew. This potato stew is Japanese home cooking at its simple best, a dish that virtually everyone from Japan fondly remembers from mother's or grandmother's kitchen. It makes a wonderful dinner on a cool day. Meat is a necessary part of the dish, though it needn't be beef (it may be chicken or pork, though beef provides a better color contrast with the potatoes), and less meat can be used.
I am not Japanese, but I am a professor of Japanese language and linguistics at UW. While living and working in Japan, I went to a Japanese cooking school (not a cooking school for professionals, but a 'bridal training' cooking school). My husband, who also cooks, is from Japan, and Nikujaga is one of his favorites. We both enjoy making Japanese dishes.
- 3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into hearty, stew-sized chunks (cut small potatoes in half, medium potatoes in fourths, and large potatoes in 6 to 8 pieces)
- 1 pound lean ground beef (or stew meat cut in bite-size pieces, or thinly sliced beef, the most traditional choice)
- 2 onions
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 9 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
- 1 heaping teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger (optional)
Peel the onions, cut in half, and slice. Set to sauté with oil over a low to medium flame, stirring from time to time. When onions are soft, turn up the heat a bit, add the beef to the onion pan, and brown. When beef is browned, add 6 tablespoons of soy sauce and the sugar to the pan, stir, and simmer briefly. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, peel and cut up the potatoes. Place potatoes in a deep saucepan. Add water so that potatoes aren't completely covered but so that the tops of the potatoes are sticking out a bit (the Japanese have a word to describe this—'hita hita'—water nearly to cover). When potatoes are nearly done, add the meat and onion mixture, sugar, additional soy sauce and ginger (if desired). Simmer until potatoes are done. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Serve in individual bowls, ladling over the sauce. To make a Japanese meal, serve with a side of rice, bowls of miso soup, a vegetable side dish and some Japanese pickles.
Garnishes and Variations
I like to use a bright green vegetable as a garnish, such as peas or green beans. Carrots are a popular addition to this stew. To add carrots, slice them thickly at an angle, and add them at an appropriate point while cooking the potatoes so that they don't get over-done.
This dish is even better the second day—it improves after a night in the refrigerator.

I'm 18, and I've been sexually active for about three years. I met my current boyfriend in August of 2010 and we've been inseparable since. He just celebrated his 21st birthday. My problem is, my mom seems to think I'm her angelic, virginal teenager. (I'm one of five kids) She doesn't know I'm dating or that I'm not a virgin. Before I go away to college, I'd like to come clean to her. I'm just not sure how to do that without shattering her image of me completely, though it seems inevitable. So, how do I begin to tell her?
I'm 14, and my boyfriend wants me to give him dry sex, I am very uneasy about this because I've been sexually abused before, what should I tell him?
I'm a virgin, a girl and on the pill. I have a boyfriend and we're ready to have sex. We've been talking about it for months and we both feel we are finally ready. I honestly cannot wait to have sex with him, (I wouldn't say I'm the girl in the classic script), we both want it. We're very comfortable around each other and have done everything except vaginal sex. We actually pooled some funds to get a hotel for a weekend so we won't be walked in on and have complete privacy and a large bed. Anyways. I know the ins and outs (no pun intended) of sex. But there's one bit where it gets hazy.
I am 22 years old and have been with my one and only boyfriend for over 2 1/2 years now. I love him very much and we get along well, but our sexual life has always had problems. These are the main issues: 1) I cannot orgasm except through the use of a vibrator, 2) I'm often not interested in sex/don't really feel anything enjoyable from sex, and 3) I never initiate anything, which makes my boyfriend very frustrated. We've been having sex for about 2 years now, and these issues are as much of a problem as they were when we first started. Regarding the problem #1 (no orgasm except with vibrator), my boyfriend has tried everything. He will pleasure me for long periods of time, try to make me feel sexy, but NOTHING happens--I don't even come close to orgasming (in fact, I usually just get sore from the contact). I've tried to pleasure myself, but this is even worse--I hate the feeling of masturbating and don't derive any pleasure from it. When we discovered that I CAN orgasm via a vibrator, we were both thrilled; however, it usually takes me a good 15-25 minutes to orgasm from the vibrator (on the highest setting), and the orgasm usually lasts only a few seconds--it just feels like a lot of work for barely any result to me. Because I'm not interested in sex very often and I cannot orgasm via penetration or manual stimulation, my boyfriend believes I'm not sexually attracted to him and is quite upset. I don't know what to do and it is ruining our relationship. I am religious and come from a home schooled background where sex was not talked about much, and so I often feel awkward when my boyfriend tries to discuss it with me (and going to a sex therapist is out of the question).
What do you call it when you're sexually attracted to men (I'm a girl), but you can also appreciate female beauty? I'm straight and would not want a woman as a sexual partner. However, it's not unusual when I see a beautiful woman to think "damn, she's smokin'" the same way I might think "wow, he's a hunk" when I see an attractive guy. I also realize I have the capacity for 'girl crushes'--usually when I find another women admirable, not even in a sexual way or anything. I might admire her for her skill, personality, or expertise, as well as her physical beauty. What's up with that?
I made a big fashion faux pas today to wear leggings without anything to cover my butt/crotch which resulted in a "cameltoe" (slang for labia majora being outlined through tight clothes). And a guy at school rudely pointed it out to me and implied I must have a lot of sex because that makes the outer lips more fleshy and prominent.
The thing is, I haven't had any sex, I'm still a virgin, so I was pretty embarrassed and offended. I just thought cameltoe was caused by clingy, tight clothes. Was this guy just ignorant about girls' bodies or is there some truth to what he is saying? I honestly feel ridiculous asking but I just had to make sure.
I'm a 19 year old lesbian ("Lipstick") and my girl friend is a "Dyke" and I know she has had previous partners and well so have I but never a Dyke. I'm scared of what may happen when we actually do have sex. What if I do something she's not comfortable with? Matter of fact what do I do if I do? I'm scared that I'll completely blow it and ruin our sexual relationship.
I have a boyfriend been dating for about a year next week. We are deeply and truly in love even though we're not even 16. People say you can't really be in love at our age, but I believe you can be. Recently, I said no to sex, so I guess I pushed all the wrong buttons and this is what he said:
"I'm so [f-word]ing tired, I don't want to climb a ladder. I just want you but I can't [f-word] you and I have no weed any more, and [f-word] why do we need to [f-word]ing wait? I feel like I'm 12. I'm a [f-word]ing caged lion. I mean, I'm just angry, you know I haven't had sex in a [f-word]ing year and I'm so horny! [F-word]!"
My best friend just came out to me and I came out to him... now he wants to have sexual relations, what do I do?
It all happened a week ago. He told me he was bi, I told him that I am gay. After an awkward conversation he told me that he wanted to have sex with me minus an actual relationship and he told me that he prefers women but likes men as well. This is all troubling to me because I don't have any interest in him as a partner and telling me that he likes women is a big turn off. But the guy has never had a relationship with a man or woman. I kind of feel bad for him, he has had a lonely life. I have had several relationships both platonic and sexual. I would like to find a way to tell him that I am not his guy without hurting his feelings. We have been friends for 6 years now and the only reason why I haven't told him that I was gay before this point is because of his families very conservative views.
On a side note, What is the best way to tell girls who are infatuated with you that you are gay without offending them? For whatever reason, people have a hard time actually believing that I am gay. Thank you for your help!
I'm confused as to how a girl can be "good" in bed in a heterosexual relationship? What does it mean to be good at sex?

Stress–energy tensor. Contravariant components of the stress-energy tensor.
Definition[edit] The stress–energy tensor involves the use of superscripted variables (not exponents; see tensor index notation and Einstein summation notation). If Cartesian coordinates in SI units are used, then the components of the position four-vector are given by: x0 = t, x1 = x, x2 = y, and x3 = z, where t is time in seconds, and x, y, and z are distances in meters. In some alternative theories like Einstein–Cartan theory, the stress–energy tensor may not be perfectly symmetric because of a nonzero spin tensor, which geometrically corresponds to a nonzero torsion tensor. World line. In physics, the world line of an object is the unique path of that object as it travels through 4-dimensional spacetime.
The concept of "world line" is distinguished from the concept of "orbit" or "trajectory" (such as an orbit in space or a trajectory of a truck on a road map) by the time dimension, and typically encompasses a large area of spacetime wherein perceptually straight paths are recalculated to show their (relatively) more absolute position states — to reveal the nature of special relativity or gravitational interactions.
The idea of world lines originates in physics and was pioneered by Hermann Minkowski. The term is now most often used in relativity theories (i.e., special relativity and general relativity). Twin paradox. In physics, the twin paradox is a thought experiment in special relativity involving identical twins, one of whom makes a journey into space in a high-speed rocket and returns home to find that the twin who remained on Earth has aged more.
This result appears puzzling because each twin sees the other twin as traveling, and so, according to an incorrect naive application of time dilation, each should paradoxically find the other to have aged more slowly. However, this scenario can be resolved within the standard framework of special relativity: Acceleration is not relative, unlike position and velocity, and one twin is accelerated more than the other. Therefore the Twin paradox is not a paradox in the sense of a logical contradiction. The twin paradox has been verified experimentally by precise measurements of atomic clocks flown in aircraft and satellites.
For example, gravitational time dilation and special relativity together have been used to explain the Hafele–Keating experiment. Time dilation. Time dilation explains why two working clocks will report different times after different accelerations.
For example, ISS astronauts return from missions having aged slightly less than they would have been if they had remained on Earth, and GPS satellites work because they adjust for similar bending of spacetime to coordinate with systems on Earth.[1] An accurate clock at rest with respect to one observer may be measured to tick at a different rate when compared to a second observer's own equally accurate clocks. This effect arises neither from technical aspects of the clocks nor from the fact that signals need time to propagate, but from the nature of spacetime itself.
Overview[edit] In theory, and to make a clearer example, time dilation could affect planned meetings for astronauts with advanced technologies and greater travel speeds. Time dilation is caused by differences in either gravity or relative velocity. Relative velocity time dilation[edit] Speed of light.
The speed at which light propagates through transparent materials, such as glass or air, is less than c.
The ratio between c and the speed v at which light travels in a material is called the refractive index n of the material (n = c / v). For example, for visible light the refractive index of glass is typically around 1.5, meaning that light in glass travels at c / 1.5 ≈ 200000 km/s; the refractive index of air for visible light is 1.000293, so the speed of light in air is 299705 km/s or about 88 km/s slower than c. In most practical cases, light and other electromagnetic waves can be thought of as moving "instantaneously", but for long distances and very sensitive measurements their finite speed has noticeable effects. Numerical value, notation, and units. Principle of relativity. In physics, the principle of relativity is the requirement that the equations describing the laws of physics have the same form in all admissible frames of reference.
For example, in the framework of special relativity the Maxwell equations have the same form in all inertial frames of reference. In the framework of general relativity the Maxwell equations or the Einstein field equations have the same form in arbitrary frames of reference. Several principles of relativity have been successfully applied throughout science, whether implicitly (as in Newtonian mechanics) or explicitly (as in Albert Einstein's special relativity and general relativity).
Special relativity. Relativity of simultaneity. On spaceships, map-clocks may look unsync'ed.
Event B is simultaneous with A in the green reference frame, but it occurred before in the blue frame, and will occur later in the red frame. Events A, B, and C occur in different order depending on the motion of the observer. The white line represents a plane of simultaneity being moved from the past to the future. If we imagine one reference frame assigns precisely the same time to two events that are at different points in space, a reference frame that is moving relative to the first will generally assign different times to the two events.
Spacetime. Invariant mass. The invariant mass, rest mass, intrinsic mass, proper mass, or (in the case of bound systems or objects observed in their center of momentum frame) simply mass, is a characteristic of the total energy and momentum of an object or a system of objects that is the same in all frames of reference related by Lorentz transformations.
If a center of momentum frame exists for the system, then the invariant mass of a system is simply the total energy divided by the speed of light squared. In other reference frames, the energy of the system increases, but system momentum is subtracted from this, so that the invariant mass remains unchanged. Systems whose four-momentum is a null vector (for example a single photon or many photons moving in exactly the same direction) have zero invariant mass, and are referred to as massless. A physical object or particle moving faster than the speed of light would have space-like four-momenta (such as the hypothesized tachyon), and these do not appear to exist. . Invariant mass. Frame of reference. Different aspects of "frame of reference"[edit] The need to distinguish between the various meanings of "frame of reference" has led to a variety of terms.
For example, sometimes the type of coordinate system is attached as a modifier, as in Cartesian frame of reference. Sometimes the state of motion is emphasized, as in rotating frame of reference. Sometimes the way it transforms to frames considered as related is emphasized as in Galilean frame of reference. Proper time. The dark blue vertical line represents an inertial observer measuring a coordinate time interval t between events E1 and E2.
The red curve represents a clock measuring its proper time τ between the same two events. In terms of four-dimensional spacetime, proper time is analogous to arc length in three-dimensional (Euclidean) space. By convention, proper time is usually represented by the Greek letter τ (tau) to distinguish it from coordinate time represented by t or T. By contrast, coordinate time is the time between two events as measured by a distant observer using that observer's own method of assigning a time to an event. Proper length. Gravitomagnetism. Gravitoelectromagnetism, abbreviated GEM, refers to a set of formal analogies between the equations for electromagnetism and relativistic gravitation; specifically: between Maxwell's field equations and an approximation, valid under certain conditions, to the Einstein field equations for general relativity.
Gravitomagnetism is a widely used term referring specifically to the kinetic effects of gravity, in analogy to the magnetic effects of moving electric charge. The most common version of GEM is valid only far from isolated sources, and for slowly moving test particles. The analogy and equations differing only by some small factors were first published in 1893, before general relativity, by Oliver Heaviside as a separate theory expanding Newton's law.[1] Background[edit] ...or equivalently currentI, same field profile, and field generation due to rotation.
Gravitation. Gravitation, or gravity, is a natural phenomenon by which all physical bodies attract each other. It is most commonly recognized and experienced as the agent that gives weight to physical objects, and causes physical objects to fall toward the ground when dropped from a height. Minkowski space. In theoretical physics, Minkowski space is often contrasted with Euclidean space. While a Euclidean space has only spacelike dimensions, a Minkowski space also has one timelike dimension. The isometry group of a Euclidean space is the Euclidean group and for a Minkowski space it is the Poincaré group. History[edit] Minkowski diagram. Minkowski diagram with resting frame (x,t), moving frame (x′,t′), light cone, and hyperbolas marking out time and space with respect to the origin.
Metric (mathematics) In differential geometry, the word "metric" may refer to a bilinear form that may be defined from the tangent vectors of a differentiable manifold onto a scalar, allowing distances along curves to be determined through integration. It is more properly termed a metric tensor. d : X × X → R. Lorentz transformation. Pseudo-Riemannian manifold. In differential geometry, a pseudo-Riemannian manifold [1][2] (also called a semi-Riemannian manifold) is a generalization of a Riemannian manifold. It is one of many mathematical objects named after Bernhard Riemann. The key difference between a Riemannian manifold and a pseudo-Riemannian manifold is that on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold the metric tensor need not be positive-definite. Length contraction. Invariant (physics)
Note: Invariance, does not imply not varying, it pertains to a condition where there is no variation of the system under observation, and the only applicable condition, is the instantaneous condition. Invariance pertains to now(). Now(+1), to a condition where all variations are solely due the internal variables, with no external aspects imparting nor removing energy (Newton´s law of motion: a system in motion continues in motion, unless an external force imparts or removes energy). That condition is met by using the partial derivative function, ∂f(internal)xf(external) and presuming/setting f(external)=constant, leading to ∂f(external)=1 using the chain rule. Inertial frame of reference. All inertial frames are in a state of constant, rectilinear motion with respect to one another; an accelerometer moving with any of them would detect zero acceleration.
Geodesic (general relativity) Four-vector. Four-momentum. Equivalence principle. Einstein manifold. Lorentz covariance.

Natural Coverage with Shiseido InteGrate Mineral Water Foundation Liquid
Shiseido InteGrate Mineral Water Foundation Liquid is a newly revamped version of Integrate's original Be Happy fluid mineral foundation. This recently launched in four shades in Japan and promises sheer, natural coverage in a liquid formulation that acts as a second skin. It looks like they merely changed the packaging but everything else remains the same with the formula.
I'm really into these second skin foundations lately and I hope with the changing season we'll see more of them for Spring/Summer 2014. I think perhaps I was hopeful L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder would turn into something brilliant but it was sort of a fail.
I'll be reviewing the new edition of InteGrate Mineral Water Foundation Liquid shortly!
Stay tuned!
What's your favorite fluid foundation?
Do share!
3/5/14 9:52 alma:
I know it is not available here in the states but where could I purchase this foundation. Love the packaging.
3/5/14 10:13 Bijin Blair:
Muse dear, where did you buy yours from? I'm really keen on trying it out as well!
3/5/14 10:16 Bijin Blair:
Have you tried any of Integrate's older foundations? Any thoughts?

Gerontology Track
Description and Career Opportunities:
Individuals interested in working with aging issues and the older population should consider the Applied Gerontology Track of the doctoral program. Students in the doctoral track in Applied Gerontology take 30 credits of coursework in Gerontology along with the 34 credit Human Development Core. Students will gain skills in gerontological research and teaching and prepare for academic, research, and leadership roles in the field of Gerontology.
In our state and region, there is a larger proportion of elders in the population than the national average. Whereas North Dakota ranks 47th among states in total population, it ranks 11th in the percent 65+ of the state's population. In some rural North Dakota counties, nearly one quarter of the population is over 65 (From Sanders and Bratteli, Aging North Dakota, 1994). These rural areas offer special challenges because of distance, lack of services and lack of trained professionals.
One direction for working in the field of Gerontology is working directly with older persons in health promotion, intergenerational activities, senior centers, or retirement communities. Direct care to frail elders, counseling older persons and their families, and assisting persons with financial and personal preparation for retirement are also areas of direct service that need trained professionals.
Most Gerontologists at the Ph.D. level can also work in education and research. This can include evaluating community-based services; conducting research on the aging process and social and developmental aspects of aging; teaching students, professionals, and older adults and their families about aging; aging policy development; and program planning and administration. Professionals are also needed to work with business and industry on the issue of the aging work force.
