What's Your Slogan?
A Guest Blog by Andrew Chymych
My friend and colleague, Andy Chymych, provided me with his article about slogans that I wanted to pass on to you this week. Take Andy's challenge below and create your own slogan. Then, live by it. If you want, I'll help you craft one worth living by, so that to your fullest, you can keep REACHING…
In 1981, I had the distinct pleasure of graduating high school and entering military service. At that time, each of the five branches of the US Armed Forces had a recruiting slogan to market their particular branch and mission, and to motivate young people to join and serve their country in the branch of their choice.
The Marines' slogan was "The Few. The Proud. The Marines." They were offering us an opportunity to feel pride—in the lives we lived, in our accomplishments, and in the contributions we made. They were telling us to have more courage than the average person and to always be faithful to a cause.
Then there was the Coast Guard slogan: "Always Ready." This was about hard work—the hard work of being prepared and developing and having the right mindset. What you're thinking right now is what you're creating right now, and you have the power to create your own outcome.
The Army's slogan was "Be All You Can Be." Have you ever said to yourself, "There's got to be more to life than this"? The Army's message was not to sell yourself short; to discover the true you and your call to greatness; to experience living at your full potential. Do something amazing! Be more than average! Don't settle for anything less than what you were created for. Do the best you can. In the Army, greatness was not a choice; it was a destiny.
The Navy had an interesting one, too: "It's Not Just a Job, It's An Adventure." In other words, your commitments don't have to be a struggle; they can be liberating. You should be doing what you love. I read something that said if you look at opportunity like a job, you'll be paid like an employee. If you look at opportunity like a business, you'll be paid like a business owner. If you look at opportunity like a sport or a game, you can be paid like a professional athlete. Make your life so adventurous people will buy tickets to come see it.
Last, and not at all least, was the Air Force, where I proudly served from 1981-1992. Our slogan was "Aim High!" Don't aim somewhere in the middle, and don't aim low. Most people fail because they aim too low, and many don't aim at all. Why not reach for your dream? Set your goals high. Someone once shared with me that I should shoot for the moon because even if I miss, I'll land among the stars…and that's not bad at all.
I believe that if you can dream it, you can do it. I challenge you to create your own slogan and then live by it. Believe in yourself and in your abilities. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Why not make it a great one?

A "Story of Power": WHO More Than YOU?
Once again, I was inspired by a recent article written by my friend and colleague, Steve Chandler, leader of the Wealth Warrior Movement.
Steve was responding to a question from a business/life coach who was afraid to reach out to someone he perceived as a "powerful person"—beyond his ability to benefit, or to attain as a client.
The advice Steve gave is the same I give my professional clients who are afraid to go after the "whales" in their target markets, telling themselves they have nothing to offer such wealthy, influential people and making the excuse that the biggest fish are probably "all set". Here is my adaptation of Steve's response, as it might pertain to financial and insurance professionals:
YOU are powerful, my friend. People would NOT be paying you fees and entrusting their financial futures to you were you not already powerful for them. YOUR power is not in question.
I would question whether THEY are as powerful as you think. How do you assign them power? According to past income? Years of experience or notoriety? I don't see power in them at all. Not compared to you. Can they call forth checks when someone is disabled or dies? Can they match your ability to understand and keep eyes on financial markets? Can they think on their own of legal ways to minimize their taxes? Not even if their lives depended on it. Who's more powerful than YOU here?
So "powerful people", "whales," or "elephants" are stories made up by you that get placed between you and these people—and so you have a hard time contacting the little girl or boy inside one of their bellies, needing help with his or her finances, and terrified of making a mistake. Why? Because you've thrust a "Story of Power" in between the two of you.
There's a cardboard cutout of your prospect that you place between you and him, and by doing that, it's hard to connect with the real person who may very much want your advice.
NO ONE is powerful (in the intimidating way you think that they are).
So focus on the work you do best and the SERVICE you can give anyone. Remember your value, and stay with that. And don't get lost in the personalities at play. Or in a comparison of who, between the two of you, is more successful, has more prestige…or any of the nonsense we superstitiously assign to each other.
Just keep being a person—a powerful person—helping another.
And, of course, keep REACHING…
Imagine You Couldn't Prospect
My thanks to David Ward, a colleague who helps lawyers grow their practices, for this week's hypothetical, which applies to all professionals:
Imagine that a law were passed today, to take effect in three months, prohibiting you from purchasing and using lists, outlawing advertising or promoting yourself on social media, banning seminar-hosting or writing about what you do—a law mandating that all of your business would have to come through existing clients.
Imagine further that under this law, you could serve your existing clients all you wanted, and if they referred you to a friend or family member, you would be permitted to take on that prospect as a new client—but that would be the only way you were allowed to bring in business.
What would you do during the next three months, until the law took effect? What would you do after it took effect? Would you continue to have success, or would your business fail?
First, I would imagine, you'd want to do everything you could to grow your existing client base through whatever means were available during the next three months. What steps would you take that you hadn't been taking already to quickly expand your client base?
At the same time, you'd want to strengthen your relationships with your best clients. If there were ways in which you hadn't yet served them, you'd want to start enacting those types of services immediately—even if the extra work would not generate any immediate income.
You'd want to let them know how important they are to you, by astonishing them with just how thoughtful and giving you could be. After all, once our imaginary law were to take effect, they'd be all you'd have to work with.
Could you survive and keep growing your practice solely on additional and repeat business from your current clients, and their referrals?
Of course you could!
Even if you only had 15 clients right now, you could make your practice work—unless all 15 were hermits, with no interest in helping anyone they'd ever known.
When you had finished serving each of your best clients in every way you could, you could safely ask them to introduce you to people who weren't already getting the same kind of support and attention. One introduction from each of 15 people would give you 15 new, highly qualified leads. Five introductions from each during the course of the year would give you 75 highly qualified leads.
This is all very figurative, though. Or is it?
What would happen to your practice right now if, instead of focusing on cold calling people from targeted lists, or on doing seminars or increasing social media efforts, you made your primary effort to upgrade your relationships with your best clients and to parlay those relationships into great introductions?
Make your own new law today: throw away your chilly "lists". Start stretching further the warm, rich resources that are right in front of you, and keep REACHING…

The Curiosity Factor
"What's the main reason your calls and emails are not getting returned," I asked a group of advisors recently.
Hands shot up throughout the room.
"Value," one of the advisors responded back. "They're not getting enough value from the call or the email." Heads nodded throughout the room in agreement.
But the answer was wrong.
People aren't returning calls or responding to emails because they're not "getting enough" CURIOSITY.
In the old days of manipulative sales, some trainers taught their people to leave a message that sounded like it got cut off:
"…My number is 555-1234. The reason that I'm calling is [indiscernible noise, then click]."
The idea, of course was to arouse enough curiosity to get the sales-victim to call back.
But this was just wrong on so many levels. I wrote an article a while back blasting a tactic that some financial representatives and their managers were applauding: an advisor leaving a message confirming an appointment for "later today" that she hadn't actually made with the prospect. Her effort did get the prospect to call back—to ask that he never be called again. I DEFINITELY DO NOT CONDONE THESE METHODS OF CREATING CURIOSITY.
Unfortunately, for those of us attempting earnest service, there are three types of calls that aren't being returned:
1) Cold calls
2) Calls to referrals, or people you know or have met but who aren't yet clients
3) Calls to existing clients
Cold call messages are rarely returned, but they are 100% certain not to be returned if the message you leave is generic. Many advisors don't leave a message at all—but you're there already, so why not try? Leave a message that might peak his interest:
"Mr. Jones, I'm calling because I have some ideas to help people who are worried that they might not have enough money to retire. If this means something to you, please call me back at _____. I promise that I won't waste your time."
Calls to people you know, but who aren't yet clients, need to genuinely spark the same Curiosity Factor:
"Joe! I've been thinking about the conversation we had at John and Mary's party last week and I have a couple of ideas for you. Give me a call if you can…"
Finally, calls to a current client that aren't being returned suggest a less-than-satisfactory relationship. Here, it's not usually about curiosity any longer—it's about improving that relationship, or firing the client. Still, sending a hand-written note hinting at some ideas to further improve his/her situation might create just enough renewed curiosity to generate a response.
If you don't have the interest of those you want to work with, light a genuine spark, and keep REACHING…
The Guilt-a-Beast
Over the past two weeks, I've been busy producing material that you may find useful.
Two weeks ago, Postema Marketing Group sponsored a Webinar I presented called Making Client Referrals Easy. The entire program is now available on YouTube, just by CLICKING HERE.
This week, Sabrina-Marie Wilson released my interview on her acclaimed radio show "Abundant Success", and it's already getting lots of attention. It includes my personal story about leaving my "safe neighborhood" and overcoming my fears. You can listen to, or even download, the podcast on iTunes by CLICKING HERE.
In my coaching work this month, several of my clients have been talking about the stress of trying to balance their family lives with their work lives. In my articles, I write a great deal about FEAR, but I more rarely snag the opportunity to write about a related, but equally insidious monster: GUILT.
Years ago, I was helping a child psychologist who ran a busy private practice, made rounds at a local hospital daily, and made himself available to testify in all sorts of court cases. During one of our conversations, he mentioned that he himself had five kids.
"Five kids?" I gasped. It seemed to me that this must be a guilt-ridden man, whose excessive work with neglected children had to have fueled a certain degree of his own family's neglect. "How can you possibly manage to give them the time you know they need with a schedule like yours?"
With true calm, the good doctor explained to me that the first appointments he put on his schedule each week were with his family—in blocks of two or three hours each. "I'd like to give them more," he told me, "but I take comfort in the fact that I treat my appointments with them as being my most important."
"I don't allow interruptions—except for dire emergencies—of my family time, just like I don't allow interruptions when I'm working with a patient. When I'm with them, I'm with them one hundred percent. I don't feel guilty about not getting work done. When I'm working, I know they're in my schedule, so I don't feel guilty about not being with them."
Like the doctor, most of my clients who struggle to balance family and work time are in practices for themselves. Unlike the doctor, most have somehow chosen to be their own worst possible bosses. These bosses could give them more time with their spouses and children…but they don't.
In his book, The E-Myth Revisited, Michael Gerber points out that most of us go into our businesses backwards. We don't start by figuring out what kind of life we want—what Gerber calls our "Primary Aim"—so we are forced to accept whatever life our business or practice pushes us into.
You don't have to work 70 hours a week to be a successful professional. Thirty-five hours—or even four—could get the same results, if you are focused. Fear and guilt can affect this focus. The fear often comes from being overwhelmed by the number of steps we see on the way to the success we picture—from forgetting to focus on just a few steps at a time. The guilt usually comes from not having clear boundaries set around our family and work time. Here are some ideas to keep things from getting muddled:
- Decide where you want your practice—and your personal affairs—to be in the next three years, and write each down in as much detail as you can.
- Just as the doctor did, create a Master Weekly Schedule that starts with your family time and time off. Leave open spaces for all of the things that might pop up during the week. Then, put blocks of time into the work portion for: a) the things you need to do on a regular basis, b) three important projects, and c) thinking and planning.
- Honor your family time as if it were a major professional commitment. Make "appointments" with your spouse and children. When you are on work time—barring emergencies—be on work time. But when you're with family, be truly with them, so there is no guilt.
You can design your work and professional life around the personal life you want. If you want a sense of how balanced (or imbalanced) you may currently be, take a look at the "Wheel of Life" on my Free Resources page. Before you know it, you'll be doing the things you need to do and feeling much better about where you are and how you're spending your time.
If you're already doing what you love and making separate time for those you love, keep that pesky guilt beast at bay, and just keep REACHING…

Don't Throw the "Quit Switch"
At the beginning of his classic self-help book, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill tells the story of R. U. Darby and his uncle, who went out to Colorado from their homes in Maryland to strike it rich digging for gold.
After finding a carload of ore, their mine ran dry. They dug on for a few more weeks and then quit, selling their rights, their equipment, and their maps to a junk man.
The junk man consulted an engineer to take a look at the maps, and after digging another three feet, struck one of the richest veins of gold in Colorado history.
In their book, 100 Ways To Motivate Others, Steve Chandler and Scott Richardson call what Darby and his uncle did throwing the "Quit Switch". The gold-diggers threw the switch just three feet away from incredible wealth.
Every day, I speak with professionals who have either thrown the Quit Switch or have one in hand.
"Asking for referrals never worked for me."
"I tried doing seminars a few times, but they never did anything."
"I tried running my own practice, but it was just too hard."
"You can't make a living as a [financial advisor, insurance agent, small town attorney, realtor—you insert the category]…Well, I know some people do, but I can't."
It was difficult, or it wasn't instantly successful…throw the Quit Switch!
It was going along, but too slowly…throw the Quit Switch!
NFL Coach George Allen said, "Most people succeed because they are determined to. People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit."
If your career or practice isn't where you want it to be, stop thinking that you know when to quit. You may be only three feet away from your vein of gold. Don't throw the Quit Switch.
One of the points Napoleon Hill makes in his story about Darby is that the junk man was smart enough (or humble enough) to call in an engineer (an expert) to look at the mining maps. That option was always open to Darby and his uncle, but they either didn't think of it or they ignored it, and they chose to stop digging instead.
The only real question is: Do you want to be successful in this career or not? If you do, get the help you need to succeed. Don't wait until you feel it's hopeless and you already believe you have no choice but to give it all up.
In other words, if you really want it, swallow your pride, and keep REACHING…
You Can't Count the Time You Spend Washing Socks
Many professionals complain about the long hours they work. For some, at least, all those hours are being compensated. These professionals are moving and shaking because they want to make as much money as possible—even at the cost of family time, recreation, and often, their own health. It's difficult to be sympathetic about their complaints, since their situation is a choice.
But many professionals are plagued with long days and long workweeks for which they are not being adequately financially compensated. Some of these people are simply not charging enough. They have priced their services at a low rate, believing this to be the only way they can compete in their market. They have not learned how to create value for clients so that they know they deserve—and then, can request and receive—better compensation.
Still others in this latter group may be confusing attendance at the office with productivity. They feel "busy" at work, but hours are spent each day performing tasks that aren't actually making them money. Someone in this situation may spend an hour or two each workday involved in non-business conversations. Maybe there's another half hour or so spent trying to resolve computer issues. Then, there are those lunch plans with someone he or she already sees every day…
Don't confuse being present with being productive. You may spend an hour and a half at the gym or health club, but how much of that is talking sports, waiting for an exercise station instead of using a different machine in the meantime, and "resting between sets"? You could even count washing your socks—which is something you do have to do in connection with your workout—but none of this time really counts.
"The only time that counts is the time you spend with the weights," says Corey, a financial services sales manager I work with. "You do have to wash your socks, but you can't count that time."
When you're selling and providing services, the only time that counts is the time you spend face-to-face or on the phone with clients or prospects. If you're not doing one of these things, you can't claim you're working a twelve-hour day. You may be at the office or on the road for that much time, but a lot of that time, you're just washing socks.
Some experts call the time you're actually performing income-generating activities "green time". If you've been feeling that you are working long hours and not making enough money for the time you put in, try this for a week: Write down everything you do, all workday long, every day, for all five-to-seven workdays. Don't change what you do, just record it. Then, go back and see how much time you're actually spending "with the weights"—that is, how much of that time is actually green.
If your green time is six to eight hours daily, and you're putting in ten-to-twelve hour days, too much of your time is being spent on socks. If this non-productive time is somehow work-related (follow-up phone calls and paperwork someone else could be doing for you), get some help. If it's not work-related, either accept the fact that you're at the office longer by choice, or choose to save non-work matters for after hours.
Another financial advisor I've worked with greets everyone in his office in the morning, and then spends the next 8 hours on green time. He makes it known that while he's unavailable during the day to discuss pleasantries, at 6 PM, he'll be happy to go for a beer with anyone who wants to spend time with him.
Stop the load of socks, and make room for green time instead. Once things are really shaking for you, keep REACHING…
Put Referrals on Your Agenda
A few years ago, I presented a teleseminar for advisors throughout the U.S. on referrals.
During the live Q and A, Paul, an advisor in the Midwest, expressed frustration with his efforts to grow his practice by asking for introductions.
"I ask my clients about people they know who could use my help," he told us, "But it feels awkward, and then my clients get all awkward and put me off."
"Who gets awkward first?" I asked him.
"Well, I guess I do," was his response, "But it's because I know that they're going to be uncomfortable."
"Did it occur to you that maybe they get uncomfortable because you're awkward, and your discomfort actually triggers theirs?" I asked.
"I never considered that," he admitted.
We then went through 3 Steps Paul could use to take the discomfort out of the act of asking for referrals:
1. Start your client meetings by giving your clients (verbally or in writing) an agenda, that includes as the final item a discussion about friends, associates, and family members you might be able to help. Don't surprise a client with a sudden request at the end of an appointment to talk about this important subject. If a client is going to be uncomfortable with this agenda item, let him or her tell you right at the beginning, and spend a few minutes either then or at the end discussing why this item makes him/her uncomfortable.
…The last thing I'd like to talk about this morning is some of the people in your life who you would want to have my help. I'd much rather be working with someone you want me to work with than someone whose name I took off a list somewhere. We'll talk about some of the people you have in mind, and, if we decide it makes sense, we'll figure out the most comfortable way for us to get in contact…
2. Always ask about the value you've given them—either on that particular appointment, or in your professional relationship over time. Ask him what he got out of your meeting, what he learned, and what he will get or has gotten out of his relationship with you. Ask him to tell you something specific that he found particularly helpful. Then utter the magic question: "What else?" Keep getting feedback until he can't think of anything else, and then direct him to the ideas that you wanted him to find helpful, and ask if he did.
Did you find our discussion this morning helpful?…Was there one specific idea that you found particularly useful?…What else?…What else?…How about when I explained…
3. Now, you can ask them about people they know who could be helped in the same way. Remind her that this was one of your agenda items and ask who came to mind.
Mary, I'm glad you found the work we did here today so helpful. The last thing I promised you we'd do this morning is discuss some of the people you care about who might want the same kind of help, and decide whether it would make sense to arrange an introduction—and how we would go about that. Who is the first person who came to mind?
Speak with confidence, I told the group. If you don't feel confident, act as if you do. Paul admitted that part of his problem was that he had not practiced being firm, clear, and self-assured when he brought up the subject of referrals…and practice is essential.
If you want to attract more clients, put talking about the people in your clients' lives on your appointment agenda and get it out into the open, right up front. Act assuredly, and keep REACHING…
Even a DOG Can Do It…
My fellow coach Amir Karkouti shared a story with some of his colleagues recently that I want to share with you now:
Some time ago, a team of scientists took a dog and put him in a cage where the floor had a very mild electric current running through it—just enough to make the dog a little uneasy.
As soon as the dog was put in and felt the current, he bolted out of the cage through the open door.
They returned the dog to the cage and this time shut the door. A week later, when they opened the door again, the dog had no interest in leaving. He had become accustomed to the discomforting cage.
While the dog stayed sitting there, with the electric current running through the floor, the scientists brought in another dog, and opened an adjacent cage with an electrified floor. As had originally happened with the first dog, as soon as the second dog felt the current, he jumped right out.
Here's the fascinating part: Seeing the second dog bolt, the first one suddenly realized that he, too, could leave the dissatisfying space he was in and, after a few seconds, again ran through the open door.
Only after seeing the second dog escape did the first dog remember that he didn't have to stay in that less-than-happy place.
Most professionals find themselves in a dissatisfying cage of their own: not earning enough money, being overwhelmed by work, being otherwise unhappy in their situation. But, like the first dog in the study, after awhile they become "comfortable" with being uncomfortable, and they make no big moves to change the current.
In my book, The High Diving Board, I refer to what most people call the "comfort zone" as the "safe neighborhood". Staying where you are is not necessarily "comfortable". Sometimes it's downright UNcomfortable. But it is familiar. And because the unknown—stepping up your game, hiring a coach, etc.—might be more uncomfortable, you stay where you are.
With humans, even seeing someone escape from his or her cage doesn't always inspire us to leave our own. That requires a decision—the decision to get out. Once you've made the decision, knowing what to do becomes much easier.
If you're in a cage of your own making, or feel that you've ended up in someone else's, don't wait until you're in so much pain that there's no choice but to leave, or be there forever. Make the decision to do it now, and then find the help you need to run free.
Hey, even a DOG can do it. So if you've been stuck, pick a new direction, and just keep REACHING…
Be YOUR Valentine…Take PASSIONATE Action
I've taken to sharing a line with attendees at my workshops that I borrowed from my colleague, Mitch Axelrod:
Too many of the people I talk with are waiting…waiting until they have their next license…waiting until their legal knowledge or product knowledge or some other knowledge is perfect…waiting to ask for introductions until their relationships with clients have reached a certain depth or they've perfected their skills in asking…waiting until they have all the money in place to get the help they know they need in order to grow their practices.
Their inaction is perfect—and nothing is happening in their businesses and practices.
But all of this waiting is not really about depth of relationships, or lack of money, certificates, knowledge, or skills; it's about being too paralyzed by fear to take action.
Pat, the top financial advisor in his company, has a simple formula for success:
"Show up and do it with passion," he tells new advisors. "Listen and try to turn every conversation into an opportunity."
Every time I look at a professional or sales person who is successful, I see the same thing: Someone who is passionate about what he or she does, and does it. People want to follow people who are passionate, and who do what they're passionate about.
If you're not passionate about what you do or what you offer, maybe it's time to reconsider your career. If you are passionate and have been afraid to show it, remember what Zig Ziglar said:
"For every sale you miss because you're too enthusiastic, you will miss a hundred because you're not enthusiastic enough."
One of the messages of my first book, The High Diving Board, is that taking some small action in the direction you want to go—any dedicated action, however imperfect—will start (and keep) you on your path. The end of paralysis starts with an awkward, barely perceptible, wiggling of a finger or toe.
Yet, many of the people who attend motivational and sales workshops would rather wallow in their perfect inaction, than work to create that first, tiny, passion-induced movement.
If your business or practice is not growing, and you recognize that the cause is your perfect inaction, try just a tiny bit of passionate action, and let me know what happens.
Soon you'll be ready to move from wiggling your toes…to walking…to running…to flying. In the meantime, keep REACHING…

our school is very diverse and very accepting of all cultures and beliefs. we are very culturally competent and our school is involved in pushing more laws to allow Optometrist to have more power to influence their patients.
our school only has intramural sports for fun. we don't compete with other schools. students organize teams and once a week compete with one another to stay active and relief stress. i participate in volleyball and basketball. it's all for fun
our school is very active in student life. we have had school events with alcohol served in the school gym since it is a graduate school and most everyone is of age.
our school doesn't really have a transportation option. the city has buses and subways and taxis that can be used but most students live near campus. i drive to school with my own car
Local Area:
activities: there are a sport centers in center city about 25 minutes away, there are museums and many historic areas around since PA was once the capitol of America. there are many taverns and a lot of night life.greatest attraction of PA is the liberty bell and the independence hall, the rocky statue as wellthere are multiple malls around such as the mall in king of Perasia which is one of the largest in the country.

Could definitely use more variety and vegetarian options
It's the same as my hometown. It has its ups and downs and when it snows a lot, it affects our commute to school, but overall it's fine.

Short Term Identity
Sasquatch Music Festival
Sasquatch Music Festival
I created a series of posters, BLE and folder, event map, music festival guide, sampler CD, website mock-up, tickets, camping passes, VIP passes, and a drink cup for Sasquatch Music Festiaval. I use hand-done type to create the Sasquatch logo, which I used this years logo as inspiration.
Sasquatch Music Festival is a music festival that takes place at The Gorge Amphitheater in George, Washington. Past designs for Sasquatch have always been illustration based, however I wanted to focus on the scenery since The Gorge is known as one of the most scenic concert locations in the world. I created a series of photomontages to be used throughout the identity system.

TV Talk Shows Advocating for Disaster Relief Instead Provide Celebrity Therapy, Study Finds
Feb. 27, 2014
AUSTIN, Texas — In the wake of a natural disaster or global crisis, TV talk shows often advocate for relief efforts by enlisting "celebrity humanitarians" to raise awareness. However, rather than focusing on the individuals affected by the disaster and surrounding social circumstances, TV talk shows tend to focus on the individual experiences of celebrities, in a sense providing on-air "therapy" sessions for the celebrities.
This is according to a new study by a University of Texas at Austin Moody College of Communication researcher that examines coverage by "The Oprah Winfrey Show" of the 2010 Haiti earthquake. "Shock Therapy: Oprah Winfrey, Celebrity Philanthropy, and Disaster 'Relief' in Haiti" by Associate Professor Dana Cloud appears this month in Critical Studies in Media Communication.
Cloud said talk shows use therapeutic conversations to argue for what journalist Naomi Klein calls the "shock doctrine" — the demolition and economic exploitation of disaster-stricken societies and states.
"Shock therapy has always been central to the talk show treatment of crisis, with Oprah being the most extreme case," Cloud said. "In many ways, TV talk shows were invented to translate social trauma into personal coping and healing."
The study examines episodes of the show in which Winfrey interviews musician Wyclef Jean and celebrity physician Sanjay Gupta after they have visited Haiti following the earthquake, and pop star Lady Gaga, and featured performances by Rihanna and Maxwell.
Cloud first examines how the show's language of self-help and personal responsibility supports economic and political intervention in Haiti. Second, Cloud discusses therapeutic discourse in celebrity culture generally and in Winfrey's show in particular. Third, Cloud examines how celebrities destabilized Winfrey's therapeutic responses.
The study finds that Winfrey focused her interviews on the most shocking, traumatic details that the celebrities experienced, and often steered discussions away from larger social, historical and political considerations brought up by the guests.
Cloud said this approach serves to decontextualize a crisis from historical and political realities and called for talk shows to focus on the broader context rather than a celebrity's individual experience.
"Therapeutic discourse damages the public's ability to think through the meanings of and responses to disaster because it focuses so narrowly on individual feelings," Cloud said. "Media fail to train us as citizens of a collective. Because of this personal focus, media atomize and isolate people who care about the suffering of people around the world."

Predict who will be cast as the 12th Doctor

The Doctor
Location: Brussels, Belgium
Re: Predict who will be cast as the 12th Doctor
I highly doubt that anyone in this thread will correctly guess who will be The Twelfth Doctor. More than likely it'll be someone most of us haven't heard of.
That being said, my wish list is Idris Elba, Ben Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alexander Siddig, or, for old time's sake, Eddie Izzard.

Dear Friend,
With the 2015-2016 legislative session now well underway, I am writing to ask for your help to ensure my re-election to the New York State Assembly.
I'm very proud of my work as a legislator - work that has impacted many aspects of New Yorkers' lives, whether it's through the law that enabled New York City's recent speed limit reduction, legislation to help maintain and expand affordable housing, the Dignity for All Students anti-bullying law, or the Marriage Equality Act.
And, since my appointment as Chair of the Assembly Correction Committee a little over two years ago, I've been grateful to expand my progressive work in a new role, aiming to reform our criminal justice system into a more fair and effective one. November 17th is my 55th Birthday. Can you contribute $55 on honor of my 55th Birthday? Please help me continue to "fight the fight" for the progressive issues that keep our state a national leader. I thank you in advance and look forward to continuing our vitally important work together! Very truly yours, Daniel O'Donnell
Paid for by Friends of Daniel O'Donnell, 611 W 111 St, New York, NY 10025

(hidden for your protection)
According to Paulson & Co internal documents John Paulson is thinking soon to be CEO-less BofA will be worth three times what he bought it for in two and a half years time. Yesterday, Bloomberg reported JP's been telling his investors Bank of America still has considerable upside and room to double in value.
But according to documents we saw, JP started telling investors in July he got into this trade with the expectation the stock would more than triple by the end of 2011.
As first reported by Chris Gillick in the September issue of AR magazine, Paulson's cost basis for his huge-ass BofA position was $9. Using a conservative P/E multiple of 10, and a 2011 earnings per share estimate of $3, Paulson's analysis estimates $BAC should be worth $30 at the tail end of 2011. In other words, pay no attention to JP taking a mere 8.2 million shares off his 168 million position in the third quarter.
Given that some of you might make your own estimate off of JP $3 EPS prediction here's how Team Paulson does the math via his marketing material:
When asked if JP's bullish view on the bank was realistic Timothy Connolly of Sconset Capital said, "That's entirely possible. In fact if BofA does manage to get out of the weeds they may buyback a boatload of stock and earnings per share could be even higher." If you really think they'll be out the weeds and estimated 15x a $3 EPS, the stock could reach $45 at the beginning of 2012.
Paulson's spokesman declined to comment on the investment. While King Cohen has pretty much given up BofA, we don't expect JP to be selling out of his entire stake any time soon.

PICTURES: Kate Middleton Shows Off Haircut, Plays Field Hockey in Heels, Plaid
Kate Middleton always dresses to impress -- even when she's playing field hockey with little kids.
Wearing a stunning blue-and-green tartan coatdress from Q by McQueen, the Duchess of Cambridge showed off her new hair and always-dazzling smile at St. Andrew's preparatory school in Berkshire, England, where she joined the students and teachers in celebrating St. Andrew's Day on Friday, Nov. 30. During the event, Middleton -- who attended St. Andrews from 1986 to 1995 -- even joined in a game of field hockey and gave a speech about her memories of the school.
PHOTOS: Kate's stunning royal style
"It is such a treat to be back here at St. Andrew's," she said in her remarks (via the Daily Mail). "I absolutely loved my time here. They were some of my happiest years...In fact, I enjoyed it so much that when I had to leave, I told my mother that I was going to come back to be a teacher."
That plan was derailed, of course, when the future Duchess met her Duke, England's Prince William, but Middleton, 30, is still involved with the school in other ways. As part of her visit to her alma mater, where she said she first "realized [her] love of sport," she helped christen the new athletic facilities by playing a bit of field hockey -- in heels!
"I hope that you all enjoy playing sport here as much as I used to and make the most of these incredible facilities," she told the children.
PHOTOS: Will and Kate's first year of marriage
Incidentally, the Duchess has some incredible facilities of her own to enjoy. After spending the first year of their marriage in a quaint Welsh cottage, Middleton and her husband are planning to set up house in Apartment 1A of London's Kensington Palace, a four-story, 20-room flat undergoing a $1.5 million renovation.
PHOTOS: Will and Kate at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee
"They want to bring a child up in a secure environment," a confidant close to the couple told Us Weekly.
"They have been on a high since getting married. It's time for the next step -- Kate is hoping she and William can become parents in 2013."

Dior's new Tumblr site only went live this morning, so it doesn't yet have the endless scroll of an older, more image-padded account. We sure hope it gets there, though—after devouring the entire page in five minutes, we're hungry for more.
Right now, it includes seven sets of pictures, divided by weeks since the new year, giving a glossy up-close peek at the brand's latest projects. There are GIFS of crystal-lipped models with cat eyeliner primly nodding alongside black and white photos of the label's atelier workshop; detailed couture looks next to handsome menswear models in slim-fitting suits. And, with Paris Fashion Week less than month away, we dare say there'll be some great front row, runway and street style shots added soon, too.

The Ford Torino was introduced in 1968, and like the Ford Mustang, it also used many of the same parts the Ford Fairlane did, and was considered a different series of it. This classic Torino quickly became a popular muscle car, and overtook the Fairlane's market, and set itself up to be a very recognizable classic muscle car.
The 1970 Ford Torino was the most popular year for the Torino. Not only were the interiors new on these classic Torino's but it came in a Super Cobra Jet package with Ram Air producing 375 horse power. The 1970 Ford Torino may be best known for the sport slats on the rear windshield, and this year Torino won the Motor Trend Car of the Year.

text: In this six part series, Bob and Eric join to impart to us a life laid down in surrender to the Kingdom and the freedom found there: Session 1: A Preceeding Word is Father's heart cry calling us to be followers of Jesus, not admirers. The Kingdom is not a place or a destination; it is the person of Christ. Doctrine is changing, but confidence in who God is, is growing every day. Session 2: Finding New Direction explains the created universe is expanding and that everything about God is moving toward life and expansion. As we follow Christ, He leads us out of a life turning in on itself. Session 3: Why is Freedom an Issue? is a new way of looking at freedom. When we are called to freedom in Christ, we must decide whether we are willing to change direction. Can we follow where He leads. Session 4: Stretchedoutedly (Part 1) is a word to describe hoisting oiur sail and lettign the Lord stretch the laces of our heart. It is our affections; waiting, thirsting, and wanting after Him. Session 5: Prayers to Become One Who Follows After deals with areas in our lives that must be transformed in order for us to live Kingdom lifestyles, where all obligations have been fulfilled by Christ and we live by His life. Session 6: Stretchedoutedly (Part 2) gives personal application on how to live beyond ourselves. We are not our own. We learn that we are stewards as we clothe ourselves in obedience.

A recent thread describes a successful RAAM racer, Danny Chew. An indication of Danny's devotion to cycling is his extreme lifetime mileage total. Clearly, Danny understands the necessity of riding high mileage to promote the endurance and toughness to race and complete RAAM.
Sometime last year, several Pro-cycling coaches wrote an article stating that there were definite limits to how much "distance cycling" could contribute to a racer's overall fitness for a race of any length. I can't remember the details, but the way I remember it, the coaches thought there wasn't much to gain in riding over 400-500 miles per week. [training-wise]
Can anyone offer their ideas about "ultracycling" training scenarios? How does a current RAAM race contender approach their training mileage requirements? What are the details surrounding a "state of the art" training program to support racing RAAM for a win?
If you had all the resources, what would your "dream training routine" for RAAM look like?

text: Just saw the BBC documentary. Awe inspiring to say the least! My jaw dropped at the sight of many of her photos that I had never seen before. All of them touched me in a way or another. Especially when you get to see some of them in sequence from the same roll. Her hit rate was truly phenomenal! She was not a pro, and thus couldn't afford the luxury of shooting rolls after rolls on a subject, trying to get lucky. She pre-edited her work in her mind by making each frame count. That's why I hope we can get to see an as much complete body of work of hers as possible. To my mind she is the essence of a pure artist, working only for her own satisfaction. Discovering her and her work is a tremendous lucky event in the history of photography. I believe her recognition will only grow with time. She documented a place and time with a unique eye like no other photographer, no matter how talented or recognized, could. Her body of work is priceless.

Recall the little dance around Valentine's Day between the Board of Supervisors and the O.C . Superior Courts about traffic schools?
The county and courts staffs recommended the current contractor, National Traffic Safety Institute, be granted rights to the $1.7 million-a-year business. After protests by losing companies that the bid process had been rushed through during the holidays and had only been out there 21 days (the previous bid had gone out for 66 days), the supervisors scrapped it and told the staff to start over.
Sixty days later, three bidders emerged. Two, NTSI and Traffic Safety Consultants, said they'd do it for $21.50 a head. A third, Academy of Defensive Driving, submitted a bid for $18.50, or 14 percent less.
But the courts panel that evaluated the bids gave cost only 10 percent of the weight. Company and management qualifications and the perceived or proven ability to deliver the program were worth the remaining 90 percent.
Under this formula, in which the only completely objective measurement counted for just 10 percent, NTSI scored highest and received the panel's recommendation. Last week the supervisors adopted it on a 4-1 vote, Chris Norby dissenting.
Norby asked court administrator Alan Slater why cost was valued at only 10 percent. (It had been weighted at 20 percent as recently as December.) Slater replied that "cost is not a significant factor" and went on with a 322-word response as to why that was. I had Erika transcribe it from the tape recording. As study in pure bureaucratese, it is too good not to share:
I've read it five times and still don't know what the heck it means. I called Slater. What it means, he says, is the county general fund wouldn't bring in as much money, "and we (the courts) didn't want to be responsible for that."
Slater says the most important consideration, though, is a quality traffic school and weighting the cost more than 10 percent "could lead to bids that would be a low-ball quality."
What this comes down to, it seems, is the county could have gone with a cheaper traffic school and the attendees would have paid $3 a head, or $350,000 a year, less. Over the five-year deal, that's around $1.75 million. But rather than just passing through the actual cost of providing the school, the county will actually make a profit from the students.
At the risk of sounding like my libertarian colleagues on the fifth floor, is this a righteous function of government?
Getting into this whole "world sport" mania, I found myself watching the annual July 4th hot dog-eating contest on Coney Island. Would the great Kobayashi of Japan retain his title and possibly break his record of 53 1/2 in 12 minutes? Among the challengers was Jed Donahue of Huntington Beach. "Koby" beat his closest rival 53 3/4 to 52 in the kind of thrill-a-minute contest the World Cup could only hope for. And Donahue made history: He ate just one.
A 33-year-old steel salesman who holds the world jalapeño-eating record (152 in 15 minutes), Donahue told me he could have put away 20 dogs or so, but Koby opened such a huge lead, he decided to take it easy.
"It was a perfect day, I just decided to really enjoy just one hot dog," he said. "I'd argue it takes more discipline to eat just one than 54."
A top athlete, he knows how to spin.
