If you've ever had a balance on your credit card bills, you know just how easy it is for the debt to grow faster, and faster, and faster until it seems like there is no way down from the mountain of debt! And when you reach the top of the mountain, it can be lonely, depressing, and a LONG way down. The good news is that once you find the right way to start paying off your bills, they do start getting smaller and smaller until over time you can finally see the bottom of the mountain. It may not be a quick trip down, but eventually your momentum will start building, much like a snowball or even an avalanche depending on which debt reduction method you use.
But how do you know what the "right way" is to get out of debt?
Debt Snowball
Debt snowball is a process where you pick one debt to pay off first, then when it's paid off you move on to the next highest debt, and then the next, and your payments start to "snowball" or get bigger and bigger over time, like making a snowball in the winter time. You start with the debt that has the smallest balance and move one by one towards the one with the largest balance. The benefit to this method is that you see results faster by quickly knocking off the smaller debts and building momentum to tackle the larger debts.
But is this really the best way to reduce your debt?
Debt Avalanche
Another option is to start with the card that has the highest interest rate. That way you get rid of the most damaging debt first, since a higher interest rate means you'll end up paying more in the long run. By eliminating the high interest debt first, you'll pay less in the long run. You may not see results quite as fast as with the debt snowball method, but you're paying down the balance that's costing you the most money first. And that's why this approach is called the "debt avalanche," where you start from the top and work down, like an avalanche of snow falling down a mountain.
So, which is better for you, debt snowball or debt avalanche?
Either way, they both work better than sitting on your butt and doing nothing but whining about how much debt you have. So don't take too long deciding. The answer depends on how you look at it:
Choose Debt Snowball if:
- you need to see results faster
- you've tried other debt plans and didn't stick with it
- you don't care so much about the details or theory, you just want a debt reduction plan that is simple to follow
- your debts have a wide range of balances
Choose Debt Avalanche if:
- you are a numbers cruncher
- you're disciplined enough to be patient and stick with your plan, even when money gets tight
- you do pay attention to the details and want to maximize the use of your money to pay down your debt
The Key To It All
Regardless of which one of these strategies you choose, the key is to stick with it. Because the longer you stick with your plan, the more likely you are to succeed. So pick the one that appeals to you the most. Before you get started, find a quiet place and ask yourself this question:
Am I ready to do whatever it takes to get out of debt?
If so, write it down on a piece of paper, and make a few copies. Put one in your bedroom, one in your purse or wallet, and another inside your checkbook. Or, put it wherever you think is best to remind you of your commitment. But when you are ready, when you are fed up with dealing with credit card debt, when you are ready to change your life, then you'll do whatever it takes to successfully get out of debt!

I don't want to admit this but...
Saturday, June 08, 2013
...I ended up bingeing. But it was way later than the first urge I wrote about. Argh!!! I'm really proud of myself for using all my skills and successfully getting past the first urge with the help of my friend, but later when I came home after studying I wasn't able to identify the urge fast enough or I just wasn't being mindful and before I knew it I was bingeing.
I have a feeling it was because I was getting upset and sad over not being able to run. This morning I didn't feel well so I didn't run. Part of me thought it was ok anyway, because I knew my hip/knee would hurt, so in not running I avoided the fact that there is something still wrong with my leg being thrown in my face. Another part of me just started to get really sad because I miss it. I miss the long adventures, I miss the fun of races. A really big race that several of my friends are in is going on this weekend and I totally got sucked in reading all their posts and seeing photos of the event going on...It was during that time that I started eating (I wasn't even hungry, just emotional eating that I didn't notice) and that turned into a binge. Sigh.
Well, ok, as I told another Spark Friend, I have to now move on and do the next right thing.
Staying Positive
+ Even though I had an instance where messed up today, I also had an instance where I succeeded. I managed to notice that first urge, used my skills, and definitely managed to overcome the urge without using behaviors.
+ I did get some studying done at the tea shop (if I had given in to my earlier urge, I probably would not have gotten anything done), and got to catch up with my friend a bit.
+ I went to yoga this morning. Actually it was right after I decided not to run at 5am that I started feeling sad and kind of vulnerable. I went to yoga to counter that and it did help.
+ My new "toy" arrived - an Omron body composition scale. I do kind of love data. Never mind that my weight fluctuated from a high of 133 to a low of 126 in one day, haha! It's still fun to play with! I have no idea how accurate it is (I know things like how hydrated you are can make a big difference), but as long as I see a general downward trend in body fat I would be happy.

It's great that you have identified the problem and have moved on! You might consider making a bit of a game plan in the event you find yourself again triggered by not running. Maybe there is some other exercise you can use as a substitute in the future?

just be mindful that you aren't giving the scale too much power or basing your self worth on that.
btw....DELAYING symptom use IS an accomplishment!!! that's a huge step and I love your attitude of not beating yourself up over it. it's in the past and you can't undo it so have to learn from it and move on.
hope today is successful!

Enjoy your new toy, wait I see you are already having fun with it! Well a day of ups and downs. I do not know what I would do if I could not do my favorite go to exercise, walking, either. At least you managed to hold off as long as possible, it was just when alone and disappointed that you caved. Try and take this as a small learning experience for when the blues hit. At least you got some exercise in, some school work in and some time with a good friend. I would give today a thumbs up! Nobody is 100% perfect! How many days now till your sister's graduation?

The friendship between the two countries continues to be affirmed and strengthened through important high level visits.
Vice President Zeng Qinghong paid an official visit to Jamaica February 1-3, 2005 on the occasion of the first China-Caribbean Trade and Economic Cooperation Forum and Trade Fair February 2-5, 2005. Vice-Premier Madame Wu Yi and Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing made separate visits to Jamaica in 2003.

A witness has reported sighting a star like object in the skies over Bronx, New York on the 14 November 2012 at 10:00 PM. This report has been obtained from a testimony included in the database of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
The witness has described what he was doing at the time of the incident.
"I was at home in my bedroom. Had finish taking a shower and was about to eat a snack before going to bed. But before I decided to close the window because it was getting cold in the room and plus I never leave my windows open."
He then describes what he saw.
"As I was about to close the window. I notice a star in the sky. This star wasn't like the other ones. This one was much much brighter and bigger, plus it was in a part of the sky that in all of my years living here. I've never had seen a star that big and bright there. "
He also talks about how he felt and what he did when he saw it.
"That's what really caught my attention. I was calm not excited normal. So I open the window completely to get a better view of it. "
After that, he tells us how he took pictures and video of the object.
"Then I decided to take pictures and video of it. So I took out my Fujifilm finepix 18x camera to take pictures. The first couple of pictures I took without the tri-pod, but then decided to put the camera on its tripod to take better steady pictures. So I took a few pictures, then decide to take a video of this star. So I did about 7-9 minutes of video I believe. "
He further describes his actions after the pictures and videos were taken.
"After I had taken photos and a video of this star. I closed my window and pull down the venetian blinds stored the camera away and went to bed. I didn't think about it."
The witness also tells us that he only checked the pictures and the videos the following day.
"I decided to check the pictures and video the following day. So that's what I did. The following day I downloaded the pictures and video into my computer and saw what I had captured on video and on photos."
Finally, he reminds us that the object remained in the sky even when he had closed the window.
"I forgot to mention the object after I closed my window it remained there. Don't know for how long."
The above quotes were edited for clarity.
MUFON requests that readers to keep in mind that many reports of UFO sightings can be explained scientifically as natural phenomenon.

College Hockey:Nebraska-Omaha edges Alabama-Huntsville, gets 'goals when we needed them'
OMAHA, Neb. — Nebraska-Omaha extended its winning streak to five games on Friday, but the Mavericks didn't have it all their way in their series opener against Alabama-Huntsville.
The Chargers may only be 1-11-1 on the season, but they put in an effort in their 3-2 loss to the No. 15 Mavericks that hasn't been matched by any other visiting team at CenturyLink Center in some time.
UNO improved its overall record to 7-3-1 against the Division I independent club, but nothing came easy Friday for the Mavericks. A goal from UNO defenseman Bryce Aneloski late in the second period stood up as the game-winner, but Maverick players and fans alike were unable to breathe a sigh of relief until the final horn went.
It wasn't UNO's best performance of the season and some rust from having had last weekend off was on display on Friday. Rusty or not, though, the Mavericks saw UAH hang around until the end and put in an overall team effort that merited a better result than the Chargers received in the end.
"We had last weekend off and I thought we weren't quite as sharp as we had been," UNO coach Dean Blais said after the game. "We'd been playing with a lot of energy and a lot of quickness and execution [in UNO's four consecutive wins against Michigan Tech and Minnesota-Duluth], but give Huntsville all the credit in the world. I thought they played hard tonight, but we managed to get the goals when we needed them."
Fans were still filing into the arena when UNO took its first lead of the night. Junior winger Ryan Walters made a bright start from the hosts count with a power-play goal 1:49 into the game, backhanding a shot past UAH goaltender John Griggs from 10 feet.
The go-ahead goal was Walters' fourth tally in the Mavericks' last four games and his fourth of the season overall.
The lead didn't last very long, though, as the Chargers equalized at 6:31 of the same period. A long shot from UAH defenseman Anderson White hit UNO goaltender John Faulkner in the mask, and when Faulkner failed to cover the rebound, Chargers' defenseman Graeme Strukoff stuffed the puck home from close range.
Parity persisted until late in the second period when UNO scored two goals in quick succession.
Sophomore forward Dominic Zombo beat Griggs high-glove from close range at 13:23 of the third period.
Aneloski then doubled UNO's lead 2:06 later, barreling untouched down the left side of UAH's zone before slotting home low stick-side at the near post.
The visitors kept fighting, though, and they again solved Faulkner 1:24 into the third period. Freshman defenseman Frank Misuraca's first collegiate goal did the trick, with the UAH newcomer latching onto an inch-perfect centering feed from Alex Allan behind the net before wristing one over Faulkner's glove for a power-play marker.
The Chargers couldn't find a third goal that would've leveled the game a second time, however, and UNO left the game fortunate to have won.
UAH head coach Kurt Kleinendorst quite rightly felt after the game that his team didn't deserve to end the game with a loss.
"I think we deserved better," Kleinendorst said. "Honestly, a save here, a save there and I think maybe it's a little bit of a different outcome.
"[Nebraska-Omaha is] a good team. They're a very good team and they had a lot of power-play opportunities tonight, and we were right there in the end, but we don't play the game to be close."

Am I really the only person that has had problems with Audible files?
I have been having tremendous difficulty with my e130.
Pushing pause while playing an audiobook from Audible.com does not correctly save the place I am at - it actually starts up again a few seconds from where I stopped. In order to get it to restart in the right place, I found I have to power the unit down while it's playing (without pushing Pause first).
Also, it seems to have a hard time keeping tracking of where it is when I use the forward or reverse buttons (pushing them once and holding them down).
The support guy at Sandisk said he was unable to reproduce the problem. They sent me a replacement. It has the same problems, plus it sometimes restarts at the beginning of a book I was listening to previously, or even the beginning of a different one. And I can sometimes rewind 30 seconds back yet actually start at the same place I was before.
I have complained again, and they claim that no one else has ever reported these problems. They said the only thing they can do at this point is replace it with a m230. Is it possible that I am the only one in the world that has had these problems, and that I've had the same problems with more than one unit???
I'm trying to decide whether to exchange it for the m230. I would lose the primary purpose (other than Audible compatibility) that I bought it for - being able to use an SD card. What would I be gaining by going to an m230? I have to decide soon, because my warranty is almost expired.

They must not keep records on exactly what problems people report. I reported this one when I first got my e140. I just gave up listening to audible files on the player.

Holy Cross' Sara Hennessey
April 21, 2014
Patriot League Women's Lacrosse Championship Central | Patriot League Network
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - The 2014 Patriot League Women's Lacrosse Tournament features three rounds in five days, and it all begins with the quarterfinals on Tuesday as No. 6 seed Lehigh visits No. 3 Boston University at 4 p.m. and No. 5 Colgate heads to No. 4 Holy Cross at 5 p.m.
The winners advance to the semifinal round of the Patriot League Tournament on Thursday, hosted by top-seed Loyola University Maryland at Ridley Athletic Complex. The lower-seeded quarterfinal team will play the Greyhounds at 5 p.m., with the higher-seeded quarterfinal winner taking on No. 2 seed Navy at 7:30 p.m. The Patriot League Championship will be held at Ridley Athletic Complex on Saturday at 1 p.m.
All games of the tournament will be available live on Patriot League Network, with Campus Insiders producing the broadcast for the semifinals and championship.
It is the first quarterfinal round in the Patriot League Women's Lacrosse Tournament as the field expanded to six teams this season with Loyola and Boston University joining the League.
The third-seed Terriers (7-9) finished at 5-3 in the Patriot League, while Holy Cross (6-11), Colgate (7-8) and Lehigh (7-8) all went 4-4 in League action. The Crusaders beat both the Raiders and Mountain Hawks during the season to earn the No. 4 seed.
The quarterfinal games feature rematches of two very competitive regular-season contests. Holy Cross beat Colgate 10-9 at home on March 8 as Sara Hennessey scored the game-winner with 6:31 to go, while Lehigh won 12-11 in double overtime at Boston University on April 5 with a game-winning goal from Allison LaBeau.
While Boston University plays in its first League Tournament in its inaugural season, the other three quarterfinal squads all have experience in the event. Holy Cross has made it to the last two Patriot League title games, and won the League title in 2006 and 2007. The Crusaders are in the tournament for the eighth time. Colgate matches Navy with four League Tournament titles, most recently coming in consecutive seasons in 2008 and 2009. The Raiders have made 13 of the 14 Patriot League Tournaments, and are back in the field after missing for the only time last season. Lehigh searches for its first League Tournament title as it plays in the event for the eighth time and first since 2011.

Apple reportedly approves full-screen video ads on iPhones and iPads
Good for developers, bad for consumers
SOFTWARE DEVELOPER Apple reportedly is planning to show full-screen video adverts to iPhone and iPad users, no doubt to boost its advertising revenues.
While Apple allows some full-screen video ads on free iPad games such as Uno and Draw Something, users usually have to click on an advertiser's banner to view an annoying video ad. However, that could be about to change, with Apple reportedly having given the thumbs up to full-screen video adverts on iOS.
That's according to Adage, which has heard from people familiar with the matter that Apple will soon allow developers to shove full screen iAds into the faces of iOS users.
The report claims that Apple won't allow these full-screen videos to interrupt something users are doing within an app or game, but rather will be slotted into transitional screens - such as between a game's levels or after you've finished reading an article. That's the hope, at least.
Beyond that, there's no further information about Apple's revamped iAds scheme, although the report said it's likely to launch later this year. It's still unclear how much Apple will charge advertisers and developers.
This shift is likely a move by Apple to increase the revenue it gets from its iAds service, which since its launch in 2010 has been regarded as a bit of a failure due to its high advertising rates. For example, Apple's iAds service brought in advertising income of just $125 million in 2012, which is around half what Google raked in with its Admob service.
It also sees the Cupertino firm offering advertisers and developers another way to monetise their services, likely as an attempt to keep them loyal to iOS.
Apple has yet to comment on the report. µ

NATO websites hit in denial of service attacks
Not hurting, but ongoing
PROTESTERS are thowing distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks at NATO systems, according to its Twitter account.
NATO spokeswoman Oana Lungescu took to the social network to tell the world that the assault was taking place, but consoled spectators with the news that no NATO systems had been harmed. The attacks appear to be ongoing.
"Several #NATO websites have been target of significant DDoS attack. No operational impact. Our experts working to restore normal function," she said on Saturday.
"DDoS attack on some #NATO sites ongoing but most services restored. Integrity of NATO data & systems not affected. We continue working on it," was the follow-up on Sunday.
In her latest messages Lungescu said that the attack is ongoing, but that the systems are fine. Her last message was a retweeted headline from Reuters that linked to a report of the incident and suggested that it had to do with tensions in Crimea.
A group called Cyber Berkut has taken credit for the DDoS assault, and in a statement on its website, in Russian, it said that it did not appreciate NATO interference.
"We will not allow the presence on the territory of the NATO occupation of our homeland," it said. "We declare that today at 18:00 we launched an attack on NATO resources."
On Friday NATO secretary general Fogh Rasmussen said that he was following events in the country.
"I continue to follow developments in Ukraine with great concern. The so-called referendum in the Ukrainian Autonomous Republic of Crimea planned on 16 March would be a direct violation of the Ukrainian constitution and international law. If held, it would have no legal effect or political legitimacy," he said.
"Holding this referendum would undermine international efforts to find a peaceful and political solution to the crisis in Ukraine. It would run counter to the principles of the United Nations Charter. It is vital that those principles be upheld." µ

John Wooden, who passed away on June 4 at the age of 99, has been called a true basketball legend. Wooden led the UCLA Bruins to 10 NCAA national championships and was named by ESPN as the greatest coach of the twentieth century.
Wooden's children, Nancy Muehlausen and Jim Wooden, issued the following statement shortly after their father died:
"He has been, and always will be, the guiding light for our family. The love, guidance and support he has given us will never be forgotten. ... Our peace of mind at this time is knowing that he has gone to be with our mother, whom he has continued to love and cherish."

Dave Frishberg: I Want To Be A Sideman
I Want To Be A Sideman
Dave Frishberg (piano, vocals)
Do You Miss New York? (Arbors 19291)
Dave Frishberg (piano, vocals).
Composed by Dave Frishberg.
Recorded: Lincoln Center, New York, December 12-14, 2002
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
If you want to introduce a musician to the songs of Dave Frishberg, there's no better example than "I Want To Be A Sideman". Anyone who has ever toured with a big band knows all about the rigors of the road, but Frishberg, portraying someone on the outside looking in, makes it all sound so glamorous: I want to play while the people dance/I want to press my own coat and pants/I want to ask for an advance. Of course, it's all a dark joke, which is made clear in the introduction, where Frishberg plays the intro of the hoariest of big band songs, "In The Mood". Clearly, the audience is hip from the outset, laughing in recognition of the theme. But there is much more here: Under the lyric I want to listen to Lester Young on my recorder, Frishberg's melody alludes to Lester's famous "Jive At Five" solo (Frishberg told me it wasn't intentional). And the lines quoted above are a typical example of Frishberg's trademark triple rhyme schemes (dance/pants/advance). Frishberg's work is loaded with these delightful triple rhymes, with the final one of the set always being the funniest. But perhaps most enlightening is the song's final lines: I wanna be young/I wanna have fun/I want to be a sideman. It's the responsibility-free life of a musician that Frishberg's narrator really wants. As the old joke goes, the difference between a musician and a mutual fund is that only one of them will eventually mature and make money.

Experiencing the great outdoors during winter usually involves several layers of clothing and lots of heat packs. This is not so at Bass Pro Outdoor World, located at 18001 Bass Pro Drive, Independence, MO 64055. With several wild life exhibits and food options the store can easily take the doldrums out of a lack luster winter afternoon. Take time to stroll the perimeter of the store on both levels and be sure to stop at the large fish tank. The fish tank houses fish native to the region. The fish and wildlife exhibits scattered through out Bass Pro makes it feel more like a natural history museum, rather than a mega store. The store's hours can be found on its website.
There are two spots for food at Bass Pro. The Islamorado Fish Company and The Fudge Shop. The Islamorado Fish Company is located on the bottom level of the shopping center. The restaurant is both a feast for the eyes and the stomach. It's menu includes a wide variety of surf and turf options. Visitors can choose to sit near the 13,000 gallon salt water aquarium, the 12 foot fire place, or on the deck, which overlooks an 18 acre lake. The restaurant opens at 11:00 am daily and the menu options can be viewed on the store's website.
If you only have time for a quick bite, there is the Fudge Shop on the top level that offers fudge and other treats. There are several game tables and over stuffed chairs to rest in. Many of the seating options are in front of large windows which provide a great view of the surrounding area.
The Bass Pro Shop offers several free and low cost workshops and tours for all ages. The list of workshops and tours can be found on the website. Bass Pro is a fun place to indulge in a hobby or discover a new interest.

|Program Description:
Is this program right for you?
This program is designed for business and economics majors and minors who are looking for a study abroad experience in a Spanish-speaking county, but perhaps do not have advanced Spanish language skills. This program provides the best of both worlds. Students have the support of the staff at the AU Center in Madrid including access to Spanish language and culture courses at the AU Center. Alongside those courses, students also take business courses taught in English or Spanish at a premiere business school in Madrid at the Universidad Pontificia Comillas - ICADE Business School.
Students earn a full semester of AU credit by combining courses at AU's Study Center in Madrid with business courses offered at a local university, Universidad Pontificia Comillas. Students will take a Spanish language course at their appropriate level and one or two additional courses offered in English or Spanish at the AU study Center.
Students will then take 1, 2, or 3 business courses in English or Spanish at Universidad Pontificia Comillas within their business school, Instituto Católico de Administración y Dirección de Empresas. It is known as ICADE for short and it is the School of Economics and Business Administration within Comillas. This department was founded in 1956 and today is one of the premiere programs of its kind in Europe. There are 15-20 business courses in English, and many more business courses in Spanish for students with advanced Spanish language skills.
The Universidad Pontificia Comillas, founded in 1890, is a premier Jesuit institution located in the capital of Spain. Nestled in downtown Madrid, the political, economic and cultural heart of Spain, it offers an excellent opportunity for academic, professional and personal development.

See the List of Subjects by Departament to get more information on courses generally offered at ICADE. Keep in mind that students in this program can only take courses from the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration (ICADE). Courses in other faculties listed in this linked document (like the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Faculty of Law, etc) are not available to students on this program.
Here is a list of classes offered in Fall 2014.xlsx and in Spring 15.xlsx
Click here to find out which courses at ICADE have already been equated to AU courses. Please note that you are NOT limited to just these courses. Students will need to request equivalency for courses which have not been previously reviewed. Read more about the course equivalency process and how AU counts study abroad credits on our Courses and Credits page.
2) Courses offered at the AU study centerTo complement the 1-3 business courses that students will take at the Spanish university, students will take the remainder of their courses at the AU Center in Madrid. This robust center houses all of AU's others study abroad programs in Madrid, and offers differing courses in the Fall and Spring semester. Madrid Business Program students will take these courses with the other AU students studying abroad in Madrid.
In the Fall semester, courses are focused around the theme of the many civilizations that have flourished in the Mediterranean region. The Spring semester courses focus more specifically on Spain and its unique culture, history, economy, politics, and society. Unlike the courses above at ICADE which need course equivalency, the AU Center classes all exist in the AU course catalog already and have AU course numbers attached to them. The following courses are on offer at the AU Center:
*FALL* Courses: (Most Fall classes in the AU center are taught in English. There are usually 1-2 courses taught in Spanish in the Fall.)
Mediterranean Politics -(SISA-383-004S) Fall, instructed in English. This course reviews the Mediterranean region's role in European politics through patterns of conflict and resolution. It covers politics of the Arab world and bilateral relations between countries, with a focus on conflicts in Israel, Turkey, Cyprus, and the Balkans. The course examines the strategic importance of the Maghreb, which combined with southern Europe plays an important role in the decision-making process of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership and the United States. The course also addresses strategic interests, security concerns, defense policies, migration pressure, and risks of nuclear and missile proliferation.
Mediterranean Literature- (LIT 365-001S) Fall, instructed in English. This course offers a review of the major Mediterranean world literary accomplishments of antiquity, the Renaissance, and the baroque, as well as contemporary Arab literature. Students become familiar with intrinsically Mediterranean topics such as epic travel, exile, and cross-fertilization among cultures, the works of Homer, Dante, and Cervantes and their trail of influence in modern literature and culture, as well as reading the works of major authors of Lebanon, Egypt, Palestine, and Morocco.
Mediterranean Art History (ARTH 255; 3 credits) Fall, Instructed in English
The course counts as AU General Education credit in FA1. An introduction to Mediterranean history and art, centered chronologically on art movements with emphasis on the differences between Spanish art and its Mediterranean counterparts. The course is an in-depth study of painting, sculpture, and architecture that includes stylistic as well as thematic manifestations, examining art in the Mediterranean from cave paintings to the twentieth century from a variety of cultures and geographic regions, and introducing students to stylistic periods, major works and artists, and the traditional methods of art history.
Cross Cultural Mediterranean Cinema (LIT 379-001S) Fall, instructed in English. Featuring a series of films, mostly produced in European and Mediterranean countries, which are a rich source for the study of inter cultural relations, this course studies the cinematic medium, not only as a data source, but as a language in itself. Different film traditions are analyzed in order to discover the type of stylistic conventions that vary from culture to culture, as well as cinema's potential for inter cultural communication.
Contemporary Mediterranean Cultures (SISA-363) Fall, instructed in Spanish. The Mediterranean has been a crucible of human cultures since the beginning of recorded history. This interdisciplinary survey course will explore the distinct "ways of living" that have developed around the shores of mare nostrum: their similarities and differences; conflicts and solutions; and the contemporary social problems facing the people of the Mediterranean region. Each of the thematic issues covered in this course—including gender and sexuality; social inequality; society and the environment; violence and extremism; and religion in society—will be addressed at both the regional and local level through specific case studies from around the region.
- Journalism Abroad: Production as a Foreign Correspondent (COMM-251; 3 credits)? Fall and Spring, instructed in Spanish. In this course, students learn and practice broadcast journalism in Europe. Students create news stories for TV, radio, or Internet, including the entire process of producing information pieces in Spanish for the media. Special attention is given to Spanish journalistic procedures and terminology to make students familiar with the contexts and insights of a foreign culture. Taught in Spanish.
- Spain's Soccer Obsession: Managing and Marketing Soccer Clubs in Spain (KSB-350) Offered in Fall and Spring; Instructed in English. This course will provide students with an understanding of the dynamic and growing field of soccer as a business. Topics addressed include: league formation; team and player promotion; sponsorships and events; media; soccer tourism; and soccer goods and brands. Special emphasis will be placed on the soccer fan/consumer in order to understand various consumer-related issues such as participants versus spectators, research, behavior, segmentation, brand association and loyalty, customer relationship management, and globalization. Theoretical and practical cases and visits to Spanish soccer clubs and organizations will expose students to the techniques and strategies applicable to the business of soccer. Taught in English. Students who actively play soccer and wish to play while in Madrid will have the ability to play on several different soccer teams at various levels.
*SPRING* Courses: (most Spring courses at the AU Center are conducted in Spanish. There are usually two courses offered in English in the Spring).
Spain & Latin America: The Immigrant Experience (SISA-363) Spring, instructed in either English or Spanish. This course will review the different migratory waves as well as the social, political and economic impacts in both the sending and the receiving societies. It will include comparative case studies related to demographic, sociological, economic, and policy interests. This course will attempt to examine the exile as a crucial channel of intercommunication among societies by highlighting the importance of the support and solidarity shown in times of social upheaval, economic failure, and/or political instability. Spain and Latin America have significantly changed their position in the world migration system. The study of this shift would allow students to get a better knowledge of both the evolution of Latin American economies and societies and the close interaction between migratory flows and the world economy, as well as the nature of societies engaged in transatlantic contact and the characteristics of both voluntary and involuntary migration.
Spanish and European Art History (ARTH-250) Spring, instructed in English. The course counts as AU General Education credit in FA1. This course examines the European and Spanish Art from the Middle Ages until the beginnings of the 20th century. Main trends and individual styles will be made clear by analyzing the art pieces and masters of the different periods under study. Classroom teaching combines lectures with visits to important museums in Madrid: Prado Museum and the Thyssem-Bornemisza Museum.
International Relations: Spain & the European Union (SISA-383) Spring, instructed in Spanish. The EU has been a successful integration process in the international scene. It is very difficult to classify the outcome of this integration, that despite its scope and influence remains far away from the ordinary citizen. An economic giant but a political dwarf? This course will introduce the key features to understand why there is such a project, how it works, its nature and the main debates revolving around its present and its future.Objectives of the course: To understand the integration process of the EU; To analyze its main institutions and its decision-making process; To consider the main ongoing debates on its structure and functioning; To investigate EU´s main policies; To explore the effects of this integration process on member states and third countries.

Cambridge, MA...The Department of Psychiatry at Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA) has been named the recipient of the 2010 Harold Amos Faculty Diversity Award presented by Harvard Medical School (HMS). This marks the first time an entire group of faculty has won the award, which recognizes those who have made significant achievements to help HMS become a more diverse and inclusive community.
CHA's Department of Psychiatry was honored for fostering an environment that supports and promotes diversity for faculty, trainees, students, and staff, developing minority researchers who focus on health disparities, and creating programs that impact the health of the local community. In particular, this year's award acknowledges the contributions of Jay Burke, MD, MPH, Chairman and Chief of CHA's Department of Psychiatry and a professor of psychiatry at HMS, and Margarita Alegra, PhD, Director of CHA's Center for Multicultural Mental Health Research and a professor of psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at HMS.
Since joining CHA in 2001, Dr. Jay Burke has championed the importance of culturally competent care in fulfilling CHA's mission to improve the health of its communities. He is involved with diversity initiatives at every level of CHA, from sponsorship of programming and the implementation of multicultural education training to staff development, including personnel hiring and advancement. He spearheaded the expansion of services aimed at enhancing mental health care for minorities and underserved populations, including culturally specific care teams such as the Asian, Latino, Haitian, and African-American mental health clinics.
Additionally, as a member of the American Psychiatric Association's Task Force for DSM-5, the leading resource for psychiatric diagnoses in the U.S. and internationally, Dr. Burke has persistently advocated that cultural formulations remain foundational in identifying and treating psychosocial and psychiatric distress.
Dr. Burke was instrumental in establishing the Center for Multicultural Mental Health Research at CHA, recruiting its director Margarita Alegra, PhD, an international expert on mental health disparities among immigrant communities in the U.S. The Center generates innovative mental health services research that impacts policy, practice, and service delivery for multicultural populations. Dr. Alegra serves as the Principal Investigator of multiple studies, including the groundbreaking National Latino and Asian American Study, which examines the psychiatric disorders and service needs among Latin American and Asian American populations.
In addition to publishing extensively on conceptual and methodological issues with minority populations, risk behaviors, and disparities in service delivery, Dr. Alegra provides training and research support for investigators interested in disparities research. Numerous organizations have honored her for her dedication to improving access, equity, and quality of mental health and substance abuse services for disadvantaged and minority populations, including the American Public Health Association, the Research Centers in Minority Institutions Program Directors Association, and the American Psychiatric Association.
The Office for Diversity and Community Partnership at HMS sponsors the Harold Amos Faculty Diversity Award, which was presented by HMS Dean for Diversity and Community Partnership Joan Y. Reede, MD, MS, MPH, MBA, at a ceremony at Gordon Hall at HMS last month.

Ellen DeGeneres Dresses in "Sofia Vergara" Halloween Costume (VIDEO)
Ellen DeGeneres dressed as Sofia Vergara for her Halloween show, specifically in the dress the "Modern Family" actress infamously split at the Emmy Awards (video below). Using an accent, the talk show host told her audience, "My name is Sofia Vergara, and I am an easy, breezy, beautiful Cover Girl from Colombia. Happy Halloween! As you can see, I put my pumpkins out."
It wouldn't be DeGeneres' last boob joke. After the comedian mocked Vergara for using a "fake" accent, the real Vergara walked on stage and sniped, "Your a** looks huge." Vergara then tried to help DeGeneres with her Spanish before the virtual twins began dancing. Check out the video below!

text: I just got out of a meeting and we were warned that if we had any issued gear in our car and a security guard at the local mall for instance or a cop could see it, they could wait at our car and confiscate it from us? I sometimes keep my body armor and helmet in my trunk as I use to to travel from our different training venues. I more often than none keep my IBA and kevlar helmet in the trunk out of sight but I was wondering the legitimate legal way they could just look into our car and say "hey im keeping this stuff until I find out why you have it". Repercussions discussed were something along the lines of the cop would confiscate our items, detain us, then call our unit to verify our need for these items. Now I am not saying I am not going to listen to my superiors or anything but, can a cop legally confiscate my gear just because they see it in my vehicle?

The found footage genre is clearly not going away anytime soon as many had thought so now it is about can filmmakers make it work. The one genre that seems to use it more than any is that of horror with a seemingly new one coming out all the time. The latest, The Jungle looks to slap its own mark on the genre but does it offer up anything new to stand out or will it get lost in the Indonesian rainforest that it takes place in?
The Jungle follows a big cat conservationist and his filmmaker brother who travel into the Indonesian jungle to find and document the rare and endangered Javan Leopard. As they travel deeper and deeper into the jungle they realize they are being stalked by a deadly predator. These films are a dime a dozen these days, but this idea while nothing all that original has the potential to deliver some great monster action. Here they use the 'Blair Witch' approach with the slow build and using a story that makes sense to why they have the cameras there in the first place. The story is simple and with a short run time moves along pretty quickly with little wasted time. They let the tension build with not only the mystery of what's out there in the jungle, but also between the characters making for a decent overall film. They use the usual quick cut visuals to never fully reveal what they are actually up against until the very end of the movie which is where they real payoff should have been. Here it works fine with what the story builds too, but really only disappoints due to the misleading cover art on the DVD. This look leads you to expect one thing, but the film delivers something else. Again it worked fine for what they were going for so ignore the box and just let it unfold on the screen.
While this film isn't bringing anything all that new to the genre it does make for an entertaining addition into the genre. This is one of those that keeps it simple and the run time short so not to over stay its welcome and fans of the genre are sure to enjoy it, but heed the warning regarding expectations of the creature or you may be disappointed.

|First Appearance
The Yenaldooshi is a Loboan from Luna Lobo, a moon of Anur Transyl.
The Yenaldooshi first appeared in Benwolf, where it was sent by Dr. Viktor to steal communications equipment from a Navajo Indian reservation. Ben, Gwen, and Max were visiting the reservation at the time, and encountered the Loboan. At first, it was believed to be a Navajo werewolf, hence the name it was given. Ben first fought the Yenaldooshi as Wildvine. During the battle, he was bitten. When the Omnitrix timed out, the Yenaldooshi attacked Ben and inadvertently scratched the Omnitrix, causing the device to become stuck between Capture Mode and Active Mode. This caused Ben to undergo a gradual transformation into Blitzwolfer, as the DNA from the Codon Stream was unable to be used all at once. However, everyone believed that Ben was actually turning into a werewolf. They tried to destroy the Yenaldooshi with a silver pendant covered in the juice of a rare cactus, but were surprised when it failed. It was only after Blitzwolfer's transformation was complete and the Omnitrix symbol appeared on his stomach that they realized that they were dealing with an alien werewolf. The Yenaldooshi later seemed to be killed in a cave-in during a second battle with Cannonbolt, but survived and the device it built from the stolen communications equipment activated without the Tennysons knowing.
In The Return, the Yenaldooshi returns with its device, which is part of Zs'Skayr's plan to block out the light of Earth's sun. It frees the Mummy from its prison, and the two then join Dr. Viktor at Cape Canaveral. The Yenaldooshi attacked Ben in a G-force trainer, and later with its two teammates in the NASA graveyard. Afterwards, it was teleported back to New Mexico to activate the satellite machine it had constructed.
In Be Afraid of the Dark, the Yenaldooshi's transmitter explodes when Grandpa Max rams a space shuttle into Zs'Skayr's Corrodium projector with the Yenaldooshi right next to it.
Powers and Abilities
The Yenaldooshi can emit a powerful purple ultrasonic howl by opening it's quadra- hinged muzzle.
The Yenaldooshi has enhanced senses of smelling and hearing, as well as enhanced agility, speed, and strength.
Like all Anur System aliens, the Yenaldooshi is immune to Corrodium.

Am I Competitive?
Friday, March 01, 2013
"I'm just not a competitive person. I don't care about winning." That's what I've been saying since…well as long as I can remember. Being the youngest, by a large margin, and being the only girl, I had to learn early to be happy with scraps. In school, I was too clumsy and slow to play sports and being undiagnosed with dyslexia meant I couldn't win in academics. So I found it easier to just not care. When we'd have to run races, I'd walk, when we had to make friends, I hung back. I just didn't put in the effort and I'd say, I wasn't competitive and that I was happy with being in last place.
But as I have been working on my confidence and physical stamina I'm beginning to doubt my lack of competitiveness.
I recently joined a Walk Across Arizona team. For eight weeks, we log our "steps" (both literally, and by converting physical activities into miles.) We "compete" against other teams to see which team is top. We don't actually win anything other than bragging rights, so I kept telling my team, "It doesn't really matter, it's all for fun and a good excuse to go for a walk at lunch."
Then one of my teammates, a girl I don't even know, (the daughter of a co-worker and teammate) beat me out for the lead spot. I was surprised by my jealousy. At first I said, "Well, good for her. She's helping our team." But the nagging jealousy wouldn't go away. And it annoyed me that I cared. But I'm jealous of her. And I wanted to beat her. I ended up adding a grueling hike to my fitness routine 3 days a week, and biking even more, just to add a few extra miles to beat her out.
And when I did surpass her, I felt great! I wanted to keep going and "leave her in the dust", so to speak. I told a friend about how ridiculous this was, as I wasn't a competitive person. She pointed out that I am becoming more and more competitive. During our 5K run, I would pick a person ahead of me, and decided, for one reason or another, that I would not allow them to be in front of me. I'd then run myself to exhaustion to get ahead of them. There have been other times too; on my bike, when I would try to beat out other cyclists who tried to pass me, and even hiking, I will push myself to pass certain people on the trail, for no other reason then I want to be in front of them.
I'm facing the reality that I always did care, but I didn't want anyone else to know. I didn't want to feel sad or ashamed when/if I lost, so I didn't try. But as my confidence grows, so does my competitiveness. I want to win! I even want to win this stupid Walk Across Az, or at the very least come really close. I'm no longer happy, just accepting what remains at the end.

Being competitive can be a very good thing. I find that it often pushes me to be a better person and live up to my goals. It sounds like it has been a very good thing for you as well! It is amazing what we discover about ourselves on this journey!

I think competitiveness is good. It motivates me all the time. I mean it's not to the point of ridiculousness but it's a great motivator and it feels good to win.

What is Stress?
to www.what-is-stress.com. This
website will guide you with practical information and
understanding in answering the question of "What is
stress?" and then
provide suggested resources to help you with finding your way back
to feeling great again!
Not all
stress is bad. A certain amount of stress can help you to perform
at your best. It's quite normal for instance to feel some
stress when giving a public presentation or interviewing for a new
job. In short low-intensity bursts the stress response can keep us
alert and sharp. It only becomes a serious problem when
we feel stressed for an extended period of time. This is exhausting and can leave
you feeling that you're not coping very well.
Basic definition: Stress is a negative
physical/emotional/nervous system response to feeling in some
way overwhelmed. It is usually caused when the perceived demands
placed upon us appear to outweigh our ability to
With such a
simple definition we might wonder what all the fuss is about? However
stress is serious business. According to the UK Health and Safety
Executive over ten million working days were lost to work-related
stress in the UK alone in 2010/2011. Our World is accelerating and
as the demands placed upon many of us continue to increase it's
more important than ever to take steps to keep our rising stress
levels in check. Whilst we all accept that the body needs regular
exercise to stay healthy, so too does the mind require nourishment
and rest to remain at its best. For some people, this is news. We
are not generally alerted to this fact until we begin to
personally experience symptoms of stress and by that time it's
often too late and we've already become unwell. Whilst prevention
is always better than cure, don't fret! There are plenty of tools
available to start making things better today, so please take a
look around the site, and know that with a little application and
understanding there's help available to reduce your stress and get
your life back to normal. If you're here with prevention
in mind then there's plenty here for you too!

text: Sep 11, 2014 15:41 Put in extra time for sautéed shrimp Put in extra time for sautéed shrimp Advocate staff photo by TRAVIS SPRADLING -- Serve slow-cooked Sauteed Ranch Shrimp over noodles or other pasta. Julie Kay| Special to The Advocate Aug. 20, 2014; 5:11 p.m. Comments Shrimp is good any number of ways. Just reference "Forrest Gump." A personal favorite is Sautéed Ranch Shrimp. While the dish is extremely easy to sauté on the stove-top in fairly quick fashion, it can also be prepared in a slow cooker. Why, then, if it is so easy on the stove-top, would you use a much longer version? Convenience and seasoning time is the short answer. Those with growing families and those who are caregivers for elderly parents know they are only a phone call away from having to leave at a moment's notice. Whether it's an emergency or an unexpected scheduling problem with carpool or after-school activities, cooks can't leave the stove-top on. The slow cooker provides that freedom. The extra time also allows the seasonings to blend better, meaning the taste has a stronger, more integrated flavor. Julie Kay is a columnist for The Advocate.

Walgreens Rushes Into Retail Clinics
More retail clinic action: Walgreen is snapping up Take Care Health Systems, a privately held company that operates walk-in clinics in stores. The drug-store chain said the acquisition will allow it to have clinics in 400 of its stores by the end of next year. Terms weren't disclosed.
A race is clearly on. CVS bought the retail-clinic company MinuteClinic last year, and last month Wal-Mart announced plans to open hundreds of in-store clinics in the next three years, possibly expanding to thousands within five to seven years.
"This is about speed to market and getting these into the communities that need them," Greg Moerschel, partner with a private-equity firm that is the majority stakeholder in Take Care, told the Chicago Tribune. "Walgreens will take this concept very far and it will be worthwhile for them and the consumer. This is all about getting a national footprint."
Walgreens has opened 59 clinics in stores in Atlanta, Chicago, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Milwaukee and St. Louis, branded under the name "Health Corner Clinic," the company said. Take Care has 50 clinics, mostly in the Midwest.
Retail clinics are typically staffed by nurse practitioners or physicians assistants. Services are limited to relatively simple things like treating sore throats and giving vaccinations, and patients are treated without appointments and often pay out of pocket.
Some non-profit health-care systems are also getting into the retail-clinic business, as the Health Blog reported yesterday.

Once again this offseason, our Saints coverage team has ranked the top 25 players on New Orleans' roster. We'll unveil the list every weekday as we count down to training camp.
The criteria is largely based on one question: Who would be the best players on the field if a game was played today? Past accomplishments and future potential also are taken into account.
There were tough decisions, which likely will lead to plenty of second-guessing. So let the debate begin.
No. 2: TE Jimmy Graham
Last Year's Rank: 2
Season: 4; Age: 26; Height: 6-7; Weight: 265
Don't worry. Graham isn't getting snubbed on this list like his stunning omission from this year's NFL Network's top 100 list, which is voted on by players around the league. Of course, Graham had a disappointing year in 2012 -- by his lofty standards, anyway. He led the NFL with 14 dropped passes, according to ESPN Stats and Information (he had 15 according to Pro Football Focus, though that service didn't rank him as the league leader). But even in that "down year," Graham still put up elite numbers for a tight end: 85 catches for 982 yards and nine touchdowns in 15 games.
Graham is one of the most dynamic weapons ever to play the position in the NFL. Now he's fully healthy after battling a wrist injury that plagued him all of last season. And he insists that he is "hungrier than ever" to get back to an elite performance level. Throw in the fact that coach Sean Payton is back, and there is every reason to expect Graham's production to be closer to his incredible 2011 level (99 catches, 1,310 yards and 11 touchdowns).
No. 25: DE Kenyon Coleman
No. 24: TE Ben Watson
No. 23: CB Patrick Robinson
No. 22: OT Zach Strief
No. 21: RB Mark Ingram
No. 20: DT Brodrick Bunkley
No. 19: C Brian de la Puente
No. 18: LB Jonathan Vilma
No. 17: OLB Junior Galette
No. 16: S Malcolm Jenkins
No. 15: S Roman Harper
No. 14: DE Will Smith
No. 13: P Thomas Morstead
No. 12: RB Pierre Thomas
No. 11: CB Jabari Greer
No. 10: DE Cameron Jordan
No. 9: CB Keenan Lewis
No. 8: G Ben Grubbs
No. 7: LB Curtis Lofton
No. 5: RB Darren Sproles
No. 4: WR Marques Colston
No. 3: G Jahri Evans

I have a question for ESTPs. Which types do you get along best with (as friends, lovers, confidants, partners in crime) and which types do you get along least well with (outright conflict, people you just don't "get," people you find boring)?
I'm writing a character who I think is ESTP. A really charismatic, entreprenurial type who is incredibly good at selling and motivating people (e.g., crowds), whether or not he really believes what he is selling. He has an incredible amount of interpersonal intelligence (does that describe an ESTP)? I'm trying to figure out how he might relate to the other characters around him.
One of them is a young, impressionable apprentice who believes in him and his drawn to his confidence and charisma, presumably because these are characteristics he does not share. I imagine this character to be an IXXX of some sort. The ESTP, of course, gets something out of the relationship, but I'm not sure what.
Thanks for helping me brainstorm. I'd love to learn more about ESTPs.
