Andrea VanderLende was named assistant women's golf coach by Mary Lou Mulflur on July 8, 2009.
In 2012-13, VanderLende was instrumental in helping the Huskies obtain a No. 1 ranking heading into the spring season. The Huskies won two tournaments and were second in two others to amass a 58-2 head-to-head record. SooBin Kim, a player she helped recruit to Washington, reached No. 1 in Golfstat.com's rankings during the season and earned second team WGCA All-America honors.
VanderLende has helped Mulflur build a roster that is one of the most talented in the team's history. In 2013 it featured three sophomores and two freshmen and finished a school best second at the Pac-12 Tournament. Kim has earned All-Pac-12 recognition twice and freshman Charlotte Thomas earned all-conference honors in 2013. Kim finished 2013 with the lowest scoring average (71.97) in team history, while Thomas was third (72.91).
At Washington, she has helped lead the Huskies to the NCAA Regionals four times and to the NCAA Championships in 2011, where they ended up 16th -- the sixth best finish in school history.
Prior to joining the Huskies, VanderLende has been working in operations for the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA). Prior to that, she played on the Duramed Futures Tour from 2007 to 2009.
From 2006-2007, VanderLende was an assistant golf professional at Carmel Country Club in Charlotte, N.C.
In 2008, VanderLende appeared on the Golf Channel's Big Break X, where one of her competitors was former Husky golfer Amber Prange. VanderLende, from Orlando, Fla., was a highly-successful collegiate golfer for the University of Florida from 2001-2005. She was the 2003 NCAA Championship runner up and was an Honorable Mention NCAA All-American in 2002 and 2003.
She was the Gator's team captain from 2003 to 2005 and earned 2004 & 2005 Southeastern Conference All-Academic Honor Roll recognition.
VanderLende graduated from Florida with a bachelor's degree in commercial recreation.
She attended high school at Lake Mary HS in Lake Mary, Fla., a suburb of Orlando.

It's time for another price war in the video game console realm. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is announcing that it will introduce a cheaper Xbox One system come June 9, sacrificing a pretty important feature to achieve a $100 price cut.
There's no mistaking the timing of this announcement and why die-hard gamers will have to wait four weeks for the price break. June 9 happens to be the day before the gamer-centric E3 conference kicks off in Los Angeles. Why announce it now instead of springing it on fans on the eve of E3? Won't that freeze existing Xbox One sales through the next few weeks? Well, with the sales gap widening between the Xbox One and market leader Sony's (NYSE:SNE) PlayStation 4, the early announcement also stalls potential PS4 sales. This also provides Microsoft with the perfect scapegoat when Xbox One sales fall off a cliff in May. And they will.
Unfortunately, the feature that Microsoft will forgo to match the more successful PS4 on price is the motion-based Kinect controller that has been promoted as its most prominent accessory. This is a tactic that Sony knows all too well. It waited for Microsoft to announce that the Xbox with Kinect would retail at $499 during last year's E3 before revealing that the PS4 will sell for $399 without its motion-based camera controller.
Microsoft may have assumed that it would continue to be the market leader with the Xbox One the way it was with the Xbox 360, but Sony's eating Mr. Softy's lunch since both next-gen consoles hit the market in November. Sony recently announced that consumers have snapped up 7 million PS4 systems since its launch. Microsoft followed by announcing that it had sold 5 million to retailers. In other words, the gap isn't just 2 million consoles. It's that in addition to all of the Xbox One boxes sitting on retailer shelves.
A price cut will help increase demand. How can it not? However, it will find Microsoft once again burning developers. Software companies have been developing for the Xbox One platform under the assumption that every owner has a Kinect controller. It's bundled with the system. That will naturally change come June, and it's not making matters any better by announcing that stand-alone Kinect sensors won't be available until later this fall. Upsetting publishers is never a smart idea, especially when you're falling deeper into second place. Obviously, Microsoft hopes that the price cut will increase its installed base, creating a larger pool of potential buyers for the developers putting out Xbox One games.
That will make it easier for software companies to forgive Microsoft, but desperate actions also introduce a new icy layer of distrust. If Microsoft doesn't play this right it will lose both camps.

Have you ever had one of those days when everything that could go wrong seemed to go wrong? For some of us, we could probably even point to a full week, a month or a year of our lives when that happened!
When all hell seems to break loose in front of you, what do you do? Picture it: the frustration level is rising, the tempers around you are flaring, the complete lack of urgency from others to get things done is astounding, and you are about to go postal.
What do you choose in that moment?
My trip to Paris was like that. I had planned as best as possible for a smooth flight and arrival at my rented apartment. My greatest concern about the whole plan was where would Sam and I stash our luggage for the seven or eight hours we would have to wait for the landlord to come meet us? But that was going to turn out to be a non-issue.
Here's how the short version of the story goes…
- Flight from Toronto to Paris cancelled due to air traffic controller strike.
- Find out I am re-routed to Brussels and will be bussed to Paris.
- Arrive in Brussels but have no cell signal and no baggage.
- Not enough busses for everyone. Forced to wait in a parking turnaround sucking in diesel fumes and cigarette smoke for over an hour.
- Bus arrives and lets off passengers leaving Paris.
- Passengers storm the bus and realize fairly quickly that there will not be enough room for all passengers and their luggage. Chaos breaks out.
- Those of us who manage to get on the bus mystified why we are not moving.
- The bus has a flat tire.
- Another bus pulls up. We get off and start to repack our luggage on the new bus.
- The driver says he is tired and does not want to return to Paris.
- The crowd unleashes on him. He relents after a 45 minute smoke break.
- We wait on the hot, stinky bus and I am now very worried that I cannot contact Sam to let him know of the delay. (He has been waiting at the Paris airport since 6:00 am when his flight arrived.)
- We leave Brussels at 1:00 pm for a 4-hour drive. Stop at a rest stop on the way.
- Arrive at Charles de Gaulle airport at 5:15 pm.
- No Sam. No airline employees to report my lost luggage. No cell signal.
- Decide all I can do is get into a cab and go to the apartment and pray that Sam did the same.
- Arrive at the apartment building at 7:40 pm. Find no way in.
- Shopkeeper next door lets me check email and I find out that Sam is inside waiting for me. I missed the owner by 10 minutes.
- I am standing on the street when I hear my name. Sam is calling to me from an open window.
- Head out to a grocery to buy toiletries and laundry soap since I have no luggage.
- The horrible journey ends with a hot shower and sleep.
Now, none of the events in this story were in my control. My plan was thrown off course by other people, by airline regulations, by a labor dispute, by faulty equipment, by human error, by human laziness and poor customer service.
I could have unleashed my anger and frustration several times. I could have avoided the mess altogether by saying I would re-book the whole trip for after the strike. I could have screamed and yelled at airline and airport employees as many others did. I could have joined the complainers in an airport vestibule because misery loves company.
I had choices in front of me. Which would I take?
I've heard Jack Canfield talk about this formula and it is in his book, The Success Principles.
Event + Response = Outcome
His discussion of the formula is part of an overall discussion on taking 100% responsibility for yourself, your actions, your thoughts and your beliefs. If you don't like the outcomes you are getting in your life, you can do one of two things: 1) blame the event (E) or 2) change your response (R) to the event until you get the outcome you want.
This is a great formula for large-scale life patterns and business success. But it also works great on the circumstantial events like my trip from hell. The events were clearly out of my control. But the outcome was up for grabs depending on my response to the events.
I could have reacted as many other people did. But what good did that do them? What would it have changed for me? Their outcome was one of anger, and then embarrassment as their tantrums accomplished nothing except making them look foolish. Those of us who took a deep breath and mustered on to the next step arrived in Paris tired and hungry, but relieved and excited to start our vacations or get to our homes.
So the next time all hell breaks loose in your day, even something as unremarkable as an unexpected traffic delay, consider the R in the formula. Are you going to react, or respond?
A reaction is an attempt to blame the event for your emotions. A response is to see the event as a non-personal occurrence and to choose your attitude. A better attitude will always lead to a better outcome. By choosing to respond to the events unfolding, I was able to continue thinking clearly for the next solution rather than crumbling in a heap of tears.

KRAMERS ERGOT #4Reviewed by Adam Ford
by various artistsAvodah Books$24.99
I first saw KRAMERS ERGOT number four at Tim Danko's house the week he was packing to move to New Zealand. I picked it up and started reading and the conversation went on above my head for the next twenty minutes or so as I turned each page to reveal a new wonderful comic and tried to suppress the instinctive ooh-ing and aah-ing that the pages inspired.
My review copy arrived one Friday night a few months later while I was at a party in the city. Craig had been to our post-office box and when he got to the party he pulled out a giant cardboard package and handed it to me. I knew exactly what it was and tore the package open immediately. After a quick flip to remind me of what was inside, I passed the comic around like a proud father. The looks of rapture I received from my comic-making friends as they reluctantly passed it back to me were exactly what I'd hoped for. Craig told me if he'd known what was in the package he would have opened it himself and read it cover to cover before giving it to me. I understood perfectly.
KRAMERS is a 200-plus-page anthology of comics and illustrations encased in a crayon-coloured cover depicting some kind of carapaced humanoid figure striding across a rainbow. Inside you'll find the work of some thirty-odd artists working in almost every medium conceivable: lineart on exercise-book paper, coloured pencils, crayons, collages stuck on torn up boxes, solid inks, grey waterpaint washes, bold guache blocks of primary colours - you name it. Some of the stories feel like they've been written on the spot with no revision, real stream-of-consciousness narratives. Some of the art has a real childlike naievete to it, almost like a slightly more sophisticated kind of outsider art. Some of the comics are disjointed and surreal like outsider art, but sometimes that approach feels indulgent and lazy - sure, it's big and striking and weird and colourful, but is that enough? For many of the contributors to KRAMERS, the answer, happily, is no, that's not enough. These comic artists understand the importance of story-telling and have explored the possibilities of narrative as much as they have the possibilities of drawing.
Reviewing anthologies is always tricky - trying to provide an all-encompassing take on the book as a whole is often impossible. You end up having to be content with making lists of what you like. That's cool. I'm okay with that. Here's my list of people who I discovered for the first time in KRAMERS, my list of people who made me scream with pleasure and vow to track down complete catalogues of their entire body of work to date:
Anders Nielsen - SisyphusNilsen's sparse, open linework is beguiling in its obvious simplicity and hidden complexity. He has two short stories in this issue, both featuring Sisyphus (the character from Greek mythology who's cursed to push a boulder uphill for eternity) and a nosy, talkative goose. The second story, featuring the Minotaur's pontification on the tragedy and irony of love, is my favourite.
David Lasky & Frank Young - The Carter FamilyA simple retelling of a true incident in the life of the famous country music band, what makes this strip so good is its use of techniques evocative of 50s-era newspaper strips: the recurring title logo, the flat-but-vivid colouring, and the linework reminiscent of strips like Gasoline Alley.
Marc Bell - There is No EscapeThe main section of this comic is a bizarre story that reads like Captain Beefheart and Esquivel collaborating on a long-form nursery-rhyme. Bell's intricate, colourful and ubercartoony artwork is the kind of thing you could linger over for days. And the internal logic of the baffling story had me laughing and scratching and double-taking in slack-jawed amazement.
John Hankiewicz - Hanshaw DevelopmentA dark fragmentary story of mutual dislike and manipulation. The spare use of block pastel colours for only the protagonists' jackets is a lovely touch, accenting the clean lines of the rest of the art.
Sammy Harkham - Poor SailorThis is a very black story of compounded loss and death, told with almost no dialogue. Despite its apparently cruel intent, its subtext is one of hope and its tranquil pacing is a great counterpoint to the violence depicted. Harkham's black and white art is minimal and evocative, with lots of lovely pauses for scene-to-scene transitions.
Souther Salazar - Give me Drumrolls Forever & Please Don't Give UpSketchy lineart cut and pasted onto different backgrounds, the text also hand-written and cut out to be scattered around the figures. These two comics read like illustrated poems, with the imagery serving to accompany and elaborate on - rather than illustrate - the text. Please Don't Give Up is a breathtaking work that is painted, drawn and stuck onto what looks like torn up cardboard boxes.
Jeffrey Brown - Don't Look Them In the EyeSlice of life stuff about scruffy inner-city indie kids, but an endearing take on rather than an indulgent one. Brown's characters have a kindness and a hope about them that makes their day-to-day activities that much more interesting.
What I like about all of the above comics is their sense of fun, their sense of play, their sense of adventure, their sense of joy and their sense of hope - which comes across even when the stories themselves are really dark.
This is the concluding paragraph where I'm supposed to say something insightful that ties all previous observations together in a neat, pithy statement that makes the reader want to go right out and buy the book (and if it makes me look clever, then that's an added bonus). But all I can think to say about KRAMERS is: to those who made it - Congratulations. It's beautiful. You must be very proud.

Please place these 10 various acoustic guitar qualities in descending priority order of importance to you:
-Brand name
-Materials (tone woods, etc.)
-Initial Cost
-Resale value
-Overall value for the money
-other (describe)
Views: 654
Here are my thoughts.
-other - body style; is it comfortable for me to use. Related to playability but involves body size ( Dreadnought or Parlour or OM et cetera), cutaways, electronics how I intend to use it and for what style of playing.....
-initial cost
-overall value for the money
-brand name
- resale value
Adding "comfort" as an individual criteria would certainly make sense, aside from "playability" which I was thinking would have more to do with the overall set-up, the neck shape, the nut width, the string spacing, etc.
Sound, Playability, Materials, Looks, Overall Value, Initial Cost, Durability, Brand Name, Resale Value...
Other - conditions under which the instruments are made...
By conditions, do you mean, "high-volume assembly line" versus "low-volume individually hand-made"? For instance, Martin, Gibson, Taylor (or Seagull) vs something like Huss & Dalton, Bourgois, Santa Cruz ??
No - unfortunately, by "conditions" I meant not made in "Asia" by sweatshop labor or children or other abused "workers"...
Ahhhh ... I see.
It's not surprising to see a Seagull owner putting brand name near the bottom of this list. I think Seagull is a very underrated brand. I base that on both the price and my perception of prestige of the Seagull name vs. Gibson, Martin and Taylor. Being a little underrated is great for us owners since we get to buy an amazing guitar for a great price.
Here is my ranking - pretty similar to the others. I added construction methods along with materials. Even if it had no effect on sound, I would have been willing to pay a little more for a dovetail joint based neck instead of a bolted neck on my Maritime mini-jumbo.
-materials (and construction methods)
-overall value for the money
-initial cost
-brand name
- resale value
Good point about construction methods ... it's an important consideration. A lot of people DO place a great deal of value in the type of neck joint used to make their guitar. Martin aficionados insist that for a great guitar, dovetail is the only way to go, while those who worship Taylor are perfectly with a bolt-on neck and are satisfied that the dovetail is passe' technology. Of course, we Seagull lovers must be content with something completely different ... a set neck that is permanently epoxied in place at the factory (Seagulls once had bolt-on necks, but no more) under manufacturing conditions so precise that theoretically, traditional neck re-sets will never be needed.
Jud - is it your understanding that they are epoxied in place and bolted? My 2009 Performer has 2 bolts...
All Seagulls still have the two bolts, but in listening to Robert Godin during the factory tour video, it seems to me he is saying that the bolts are only there to help fasten the neck in place while epoxy is curing, then they become superfluous ...
This picture shows how a classic guitar neck-body joint is achieved.
This second photo shows it in detail,
As you may see, the neck block has two slots. The sides are held in place by two wooden splints. No glue needed (you may put a drop at each side, just in case, but you really don't need that if the whole thing is well done). When you glue the back to the neck block and sides, everything will stay in place for decades.
BUT, if the instrument needs repair, or adjustment - and they all need it sooner or later, because they are made of wood, not stone - you simply unglue the back with a hot spatula, do the repair and close it again for some decades. That's called lutherie.
I have absolutely no prejudice against factory-made guitars, I own one and play it regularly for 32 years, but the simple idea of gluing a neck joint with epoxy is "too much sand to my lorry". What will owners do when (sooner or later) the instrument needs repair or adjustment? Throw it away and buy another? Is it fair to spend rare woods that risk extinction in instruments made that way? And why aren't the bolts removed after the glue dries, if they are superfluous? To spare five minutes of man work?
I am amazed at this Brave New World! How will we explain certain things to our grandchildren?
When I went shopping for my first new guitar I didn't search the internet in advance but was aware of the major brands. Being a Canadian it was winter and just after the Olympics. I saw the Godin Maple Leaf tag and shopped no further brands. I am pretty sure I would not have bought anything other a North American manufacturer regardless. So...
1. Brand 2. Cost 3. Sound/Playability 4. Looks/Materials 5. Durability 6. Overall value
Now after experiencing GAS and being a little smarter, I would say 1. Brand (still) 2. Materials/Sound 3. Playability 4. Looks/Durability 5. Cost 6. resale

In recent weeks, we've welcomed back dozens of men and women who have spent months deployed to Iraq and southwest Asia. But on Oct. 27, Western Kentucky University decided to hold their own welcome back celebration with a stadium full of Hilltoppers helping them out.
It's a Saturday night, and as always, Houchens Industries LT Smith Stadium is a sea of red. But this time, you can find a lot of white and blue as well.
Upon entering the stadium, fans are greeted by a Topperette with an American flag. They have 10,000 in their supply, and they're giving them out for one simple reason.
"To make sure all our men and women overseas are recognized for what they do," Topperette Angelena Edwards said.
And when halftime hits, the soldiers are even taking the field.
"We have about 30 students and alumni serving in Iraq and most of those soldiers have returned home in the past couple of months," explained Gary Ransdell, Western Kentucky University president.
"Our troops are serving every day to make sure our freedoms endure in this nation and that's something we take very seriously as a university and community," he added.
And as for the troops, this is a heartfelt gesture that's deeply appreciated.
"I'd like to thank America for showing their support behind the soldiers, we may not understand what's going on, but we put on our suit of armor, willingly to defend our country, " Sgt. First Class Vincent Louis said.
"It just brings the community together. It shows the community still respects us. It shows that they're behind us and backing us 100-percent," Specialist Chris Westray added.
The soldiers also participated in a Topper Walk Parade, where they walked alongside the band, football team, cheerleaders and Topperettes.

USPTO rules against TiVo's "Time Warp" patent, but the fight vs. DISH rages on, againPosted on June 8, 2010 | No CommentsThe never ending TiVo / DISH Network patent saga continues, with the latest twist presented as U.S. Patent and Trademark Office ruled TiVo's "Time Warp" patent is invalid. Both sides have issued press release in response, with TiVo pointing out this is "just one of several steps" in the review process" while DISH's Facebook status was predictably "pleased." For now, the only thing to report is that, as usual, nothing has really changed, the Appeals court is still undertaking a review of its previous ruling, and it will probably finish that before this Patent Office decision is resolved , given the opportunity for appeals to its board, and even through the federal courts. Still, depending on how this goes, it could have the most affect on TiVo's lawsuits against Verizon and AT&T, but right now we're just going to go grab (another) Snickers, this one will be going on for a long while yet.

Sharp plunges headfirst into 3D market with LV-series Quattron TVs, Blu-ray DVRsPosted on June 2, 2010 | No Commentsjust as planned. Based on the same Sharp Quattron quad-pixel technology that made George Takei's jaw drop, the new LV-series of AQUOS panels will come in 40-, 46-, 52- and 60-inch sizes when they debut July 30th, and feature 1080p resolution, UV²A panels and a high-speed signaling technology named FRED that Sharp says increases brightness and reduces crosstalk. More interesting are the AN-3DG10 glasses that come with them, which reportedly allow each individual viewer decide whether to view content in 2D or 3D -- we're guessing by tweaking the glasses to show either the left or right image to both eyes simultaneously, instead of flipping back and forth. Of course, you'll also need something to watch, and thus Sharp will also release a pair of Blu-ray DVR units, the BD-HDW700 and BD-HDW70, which record two simultaneous Japanese television programs onto terabyte-sized hard drives when they're not sending Blu-ray 3D content to the aforementioned displays.
While mum's the word on pricing, Impress Watch believes the TVs will start around ¥280,000 (around $3,067) and top out at a cool ¥600,000 ($6,581) for that 60-incher, and says that US and European variants are expected later this year. While you wait, why not take a deep dive into the details -- you'll find an entire brochure's worth at our source links.

England must avoid defeat over the next two days to ensure that they climb above India into second place in the ICC Test rankings. If Australia force a victory at the Kia Oval, the leading positions will remain unchanged before the return series in the winter.
Although England beat India on their own soil last winter for the first time since 1984-85, a poor record before that in 2012, plus India's 4-0 whitewash of Australia this year, means that only a 3-0 verdict or better will result in England moving upwards from their present spot at No 3.

Lawsuits filed in Los Angeles state and federal courts charging Donald Trump, NBC Universal and Mark Burnett with stealing "The Apprentice" have been settled.
Their pitch even suggested having Trump host the show, the suit claimed.
Trump and NBC were part of the suit because they profited from "The Apprentice," the newspaper said.

Women's Basketball Falls To Syracuse, 62-54
Nov. 25, 2003
SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The University of Massachusetts women's basketball team (0-3) had a nine-point halftime lead, but could not hold on and lost to Syracuse University (2-0), 62-54, this evening at the Manley Field House. Syracuse put up 35 three-point field goals tonight tying a school record and converted on 15 of them. They only shot 16 two-point field goals.
Syracuse has a tradition where all the fans remain standing and cheer until the home team scores its first basket, but the Minutewomen made them wait 4:07 tonight. UMass jumped out to an early 6-0 lead led by senior Judit Zsedenyi's (Budapest, Hungary) four points. SU clawed back and took a brief lead at 11-10, but freshman Tamara Tatham (Brampton, Ontario) came back down and put UMass right back on top and sparked a 12-2 run over the next 3:30.
The teams traded baskets for the rest of the half and Massachusetts went into the locker room with a nine point lead at 35-26. Zsedenyi had 11 points in the half, while Tatham had nine. On the other side, Julie McBride had 11 points. Massachusetts shot a season-best .615 (16-26) in the first half, while holding Syracuse to .364 (8-22) from the field. The Orangewomen attempted 22 field goals in the first half, 15 of which were from behind the three-point line.
Both teams came out sluggish in the first half. There were more fouls called (six) than points (three) for the two teams combined at the first media timeout at the 15:58 mark. After the timeout however, SU came out on fire. The Orange hit three straight three-pointers, two by McBride, to take a 37-36 lead. Freshman Joyce Massey (Detroit, Mich.) ended the 9-0 run with a jumper at the 12:41 mark to put UMass back on top. It was also its first field goal of the half. The Orange responded right back with more bombs from three-point land. Three more in a row in a 52-second span gave it a six-point lead and forced UMass to use a timeout at the 9:19 mark. Massey ended the run with a jumper at the 7:56 mark.
UMass cut the deficit to two with a pair of free throws, but two more consecutive trifectas put Syracuse up eight, 52-44, with 4:20 left. Junior Monique Govan (Chicago, Ill.) ended the run with a three-pointer of her own with 4:02 left to bring the Minutewomen within five at 52-47. Another Orange basket put them up seven until Massey's three at the 3:31 mark brought the lead back to four. SU kept the three's coming however and UMass was soon down 10. The Orange made their free throws down the stretch and sealed the game.
Tatham was the team's leading scorer with 14 points. She also had five rebounds and a steal. Massey had 12 points and three rebounds, while junior Brooke Campbell (Baltimore, Md.) pulled down 12 boards. UMass shot just .259 (7-27) from the field in the second half, while Syracuse was 10-20 (.500) from three-point range in the second stanza. UMass also shot just 5-14 (.357) from the free throw line. McBride finished with 30 points for SU, her second straight 30-point game.
The Minutewomen will participate in the Coca-Cola Classic this weekend at the Arena At Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, Conn. In the first round, Massachusetts will take on host-school Fairfield at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 29. Then on Sunday, UMass will face either Brown or Delaware at 1:00 p.m. or 3:30 p.m in the consolation or championship game.

Psychoanalytic Diagnosis, 2nd Edition: Understanding Personality Structure in the Clinical Process, Nancy McWilliams
This acclaimed clinical guide and widely adopted text has filled a key need in the field since its original publication. Nancy McWilliams makes psychoanalytic personality theory and its implications for practice accessible to practitioners of all levels of experience. She explains major character types and demonstrates specific ways that understanding the patient's individual personality structure can influence the therapist's focus and style of intervention. Guidelines are provided for developing a systematic yet flexible diagnostic formulation and using it to inform treatment. Highly readable, the book features a wealth of illustrative clinical examples.
Winner–Canadian Psychological Association's Goethe Award for Psychoanalytic and Psychodynamic Scholarship
"This is a book for all clinicians who aspire to understand their clients deeply and help them live more richly and authentically. McWilliams synthesizes a century of cumulative clinical wisdom and offers it in a form that is accessible and useful to clinicians of any theoretical persuasion. The first edition of Psychoanalytic Diagnosis was an instant classic; the second edition is exceptionally lucid and masterful. This is McWilliams, master clinician and teacher, at her very best."–Jonathan Shedler, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Colorado School of Medicine
"In revising Psychoanalytic Diagnosis, McWilliams has surpassed herself. The original–deservedly regarded as a classic–was an integrative tour de force; the second edition is even better. Informed by current advances in neuroscience and infant research, and reshaped in light of the 'relational turn' in contemporary psychoanalysis, this book distills a vast literature on development, psychopathology, and therapy into an extraordinarily useful map of the clinical terrain. It is at once an indispensable resource for beginning therapists, a valuable teaching tool, and a comprehensive reference for seasoned clinicians."–David J. Wallin, PhD, private practice, Mill Valley and Albany, California
"In this accessible and impassioned book, McWilliams provides organizing principles to help us understand psychopathology without oversimplifying or evading the difficult questions raised by diagnosis. Reading McWilliams's book will make you feel like you know her. Her extraordinary humanity, wisdom, deep sense of ethics, and steady concern for her patients are evident throughout. The second edition includes an updated presentation of attachment theory, addresses the contributions of relational theory and neuroscience research, and integrates a contemporary understanding of somatization and defense. A 'must read' for every clinician in training."–Joyce A. Slochower, PhD, Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, New York University

Bethenny Frankel may have been working hard on her talk show since the summer, but she has taken some time to herself and started dating again. It must be an odd situation, since she hasn't settled much in regards to her divorce. She filed because she wanted out and she has revealed that the marriage was a big mistake. According to a new EnStarz report published on Jan. 12, Bethenny Frankel continues to date even though she is still living with her estranged husband, Jason Hoppy.
She traveled to Miami with her new man for New Year's Eve and celebrated with him instead of being in New York with her daughter, Bryn. And it sounds like things were getting serious with Michael A. Cerussi III. "They made out pretty heavily at midnight," an eyewitness at South Beach's Mondrian hotel told PEOPLE magazine, the print edition. "They were cuddly all night."
The divorce was filed over a year ago, and it seems to drag on because the two cannot come to a conclusion in regards to their daughter, Bryn. Sources have revealed that all of the money and property has been settled, but Jason isn't giving up on his daughter, as Frankel really wants to have full custody of Bryn.
"When you date a talk show host in the public eye, this is what happens," the Frankel source added. "People look into your past." Despite going to Miami together, the source close to Frankel reveals that they are not a couple. "They are dating, [but] they're not exclusive." It sounds like she just wants to get her toes wet again without making things too serious too fast. "She's having a great time," said the source. "She's moving forward with her life."
Do you think she is setting a good example for her daughter?

Women's Basketball Gets 15th Playoff Seed, Hosts 18th AVC Wednesday
The Pasadena City College women's basketball team went from no chance of making the postseason a few weeks to gaining the 15th seed at the Southern California Regional Playoff seedings meeting held Monday at Santa Ana College. It is the 11th straight season that Coach Joe Peron's teams have advanced to the regional playoffs.
A bonus for the Lancers was another home playoff game as PCC will host No. 18 seed Antelope Valley (18-11) in a first-round "play-in" game Wednesday, Feb. 22. Tip-off for the playoff is 7 p.m. at Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium. The play-in games feature the bottom four seeds and help set up the 16-team, second round.
The Lancers are a perfect 17-0 in their history in playoff games at the Hutto-Patterson gym since it opened its doors in 1999-2000.
If Pasadena defeats Antelope Valley, it would travel to face an old playoff nemesis at No. 2 Ventura College (29-1) on Saturday, Feb. 25. In 2009, the Lancers beat Ventura in the state semifinals on their way to winning the CCCAA State Championship. Last season, the Lancers defeated the Pirates in a second round game and they also beat them in the 2007 second round regionals.
Despite having the lowest winning percentage of any SoCal playoff team at 16-12, PCC fortunately plays in the powerful South Coast Conference, which produced the No. 1 seed Mt. San Antonio, No. 4 East Los Angeles, No. 5 Cerritos and No. 7 Long Beach. The Lancers put together upset victories over both Cerritos and ELAC in the conference's final weeks that helped the conference's fifth place team into the postseason field.

weekend re-cap
Tuesday, August 13, 2013
Had a great weekend :) Filled with farmer's market, the driving range (which was not a brilliant display of athletic talent on my part, but still fun), cooking, cleaning, hanging out with friends, and of course 2 good workouts. Saturday's was ok, but Sunday's was wicked fun and left me completely pooped :p Like, in bed by 9:30 and slept until 6:30 kind of exhausted. I never sleep that late! Even missed Monday morning crossfit! Went after work instead though ;)
Ok. Another goal to add to the list. May not happen in August, but I will start working on it. I want to learn how to do a "double under" or more so, a heap of consecutive ones. A double under is skipping, but with the rope passing under your feet twice each time before you land. I just end up with whip lashes everywhere. It's not pretty. Yesterdays WOD was a hard one. Five rounds, for time:
- 1 over head squat
- 50 double unders (or 150 regular jump rope)
- 5 muscle ups (or muscle up transitions)
My time was 13:23. It was not a shining moment for this kid. I managed the first two rounds to complete my overhead squat with the 35lb bar holding a 10lb plate on each side. Still not super heavy, but felt respectable. By the third round, I couldn't hold the form :( So Dave came over and helped me tear the weights off the bar. Felt pretty lame doing the remaining rounds with just the bare bar, but my form was spot on again. "You'll get there! Don't sweat it!" Dave told me. I was still mad at myself though. And the reasoning behind wanting to learn the double unders... 150 jump ropes is a LOT!! I was dying by round 3 haha...
From our "what is crossfit?" lecture during the Elements classes -
Crossfit can be defined as:
- Constantly Varied (to always keep your muscles guessing)
- Functional Movements (to prepare you for real life situations)
- High Intensity
Makes sense... HOWEVER - I have thought really hard about it and can't come up with any situation in real life where I would need a double under. Ever. Kinda reminds me of grade 11 calculus when the teacher said I would need to know trigonometry in my adult life. That was a lie.

As always, I'm totally inspired by your commitment to your fitness routine and challenging yourself to try new exercises! The double-unders totally remind me of being a kid. I know I could do that when I was ten or so but I'm pretty sure I'd end up with epic whiplash myself if I did it. I love how some of the things I did for fun as a kid are now making a comeback as exercise for adults (jump rope, hulahoop, etc.).
Also inspired by how active you kept over the weekend!

Love the analogy to math! Made me giggle at work because you know that teacher thought it was the truth! I think at double under might be more applicable to my daily life than calc though. :)

FORT KENT– In the wake of the installation of the new biomass plant at the University of Maine at Fort Kent, Associate Professor of Environmental Studies and Behavioral Sciences Soraya Cardenas' environmental sociology class is producing a 20 to 30 minute documentary film for the town of Fort Kent about the issues associated with producing, distributing, and utilizing renewable energy locally.
The film is tentatively titled "In Search of Affordable Heat: Aroostook County, Maine."
With the National Science Foundation-funded and ME EPSCoR Sustainability Solutions Initiative- supported documentary research, Cardenas and her 24 students, Intern Greg McIntosh, and production and technological advisor Aaron Bernstein, who is UMFK's Assistant Director of Media Services, have collaborated to provide an answer to the question, "Is biomass (wood and grass) a realistic sustainable solution alternative to oil in Aroostook County?"
Demographic research indicates that the Aroostook population is an older, declining, less-educated, and poor population (median income in Aroostook is approximately $10,000 a year less than the overall Maine median and $20,000 less than the U.S. median), which presents challenges to developing a biomass-based economy or infrastructure, said Cardenas. From the difficulties for an older population inherent in the labor-intensive nature of heating with biomass products to the prohibitive cost of installing a biomass burner in a population in which many cannot afford a home, much less a heating furnace upgrade, the benefits to biomass would have to be substantial to overcome the challenges posed.
The fact that heating oil prices have raised so high that they comprise ten percent of a $36,000 a year income may provide that incentive, however. For Aroostook County's population, heating with oil at those prices may be economically non-feasible.
Decisions around heating budgets affect more than just the older residents. Cardenas pointed out that heating oil prices and consequent decisions affect the future of local children as well, when school board decisions are based on cutting spending partially in response to rising expense costs.
According to a graph produced in the New York Times in January of this year, New England is highly dependent on heating with oil, with Maine one of the most dependent states in the United States, aside from Alaska. Cardenas' research indicates that approximately ten percent of the total U.S. population is dependent on oil to heat their homes. In Maine, that figure rises to 76 percent, a staggering increase. With that dependency in mind, for every $1 increase in heating oil prices, $250 million dollars leaves the state of Maine every year.
The class project will be one of the projects showcased in the upcoming Scholar's Symposium at UMFK on April 20, where the class will present to the public a more in-depth look at these issues. The National Science Foundation has also provided funding for several other groups on campus, including projects led by professors Kim Borges, Dave Hobbins, and Kurt Holzhausen. Cardenas is anticipating the use of a smaller, five-minute, supplementary video on what biomass is, produced by Greg McIntosh and Bernice Michaud with the assistance of Bernstein, by the Northern Maine Development Commission to help educate the public about biomass.
The Environmental Sociology class will premiere the documentary on May 4at 11 a.m. and again at 6 p.m., likely in the Fox Auditorium at UMFK.

East Village: A kati-roll spot has opened on Second Avenue, between 11th and 12th. It's called Frankie's, even though the nabe already has Frankies, Lil' Frankies, and Frank, because, according to the owner, "in Bombay, Frankie's are wraps that you buy on street corners." [Eater]

These are the most famous waterfalls in the world by no means the highest , but among the largest as regards volume of water, 6000 cubic meters per second. The 56 m, (185 feet) drop is due to the 100 m (330 feet) or so difference is height between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Niagara Falls is short but intensely powerful stretch that has made a world famous spectacle of the Niagara Rivers. The falls are 27 km north-northwest of Buffalo, New York and 121 km south-southeast of Toronto, Ontario, between the twin cities of Niagara Falls (Ontario), and Niagara Falls (New Yor).
The falls originated is the prehistoric period, and the bed of the Niagara River has yielded fossil of animals and plants that were deposited in the sediment millions of years ago. Naturally, from a geological standpoint, the falls are a rather young phenomenon. According to the Jesuit Gabriel Lalemant, one of the first persons to describe the rapids, the original name was Onguiaahra, or ''the strait'', given by Iroquois Indians, a name later simplified by the white settlers into Niagara.
The falls were discovered by the French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1613, Two centuries later the first sightseers began to arrive. In 1820 steps were build at Table Rock and the first ferry services began to operate. The majestic falls, which resound like thunder for miles and miles, are soon best from a ferrybout. In 50 years, despite the lack of comfortable transportation, the number of visitors increased and tourism became the main activity on both sides.
Today Niagara Falls are one of the leading attractions on the American continent, with over 15 million visitor every year, many of whorn are American newlyweds who go there for their honeymoon. And for good reason: an intimate dinner on a restaurant terrace with this grandiose natural wonder in the moon-light is unforgettable experience.

Cape Town car-texters to forfeit phones, fork out R500
As of today, Cape Town motorists caught talking or texting on their cellphone will be fined R500 and have their phones confiscated.
The Cape Times reported on Monday that the new bylaw, in effect from today, formed part of the provincial road safety campaign to cut road deaths in half by 2014.
Safety and security mayoral committee member JP Smith said Cape Town was the only city where the road death toll was decreasing steadily, from 1 739 deaths in 2008 to 1 321 in 2011.
Confiscated cellphones could be collected at the Gallow Hills Traffic Department in Green Point after 24 hours. Motorists would have to show their identity books.
According to the report, phones would be sealed in a box and people given a serial number. – Sapa
* A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that the fine, when caught on their cellphone, was R5 000. It is, in fact, R500.

A Message from the NC Libertarian Party
The Libertarian Party is one of three official parties recognized by the state of North Carolina. A political party receives this distinction when they file a petition with signatures (somewhere near 100,000 are required) or if their candidate for Governor or President receives 2% of the vote in the general election. The Libertarian Party of North Carolina filed the signatures to get on the ballot in 2008 and our candidate for Governor, Michael Munger, received 2.85% of the vote, keeping us on the ballot automatically through 2012.
Now, our candidate for Governor, Barbara Howe, needs your help. In 2008, Michael Munger debated Pat McCrory in a debate hosted by UNC-TV and he debated Pat McCrory and Bev Perdue in a debate sponsored by WTVI, WSOC-TV and the League of Women Voters. I guess the Democrats and the Republicans are afraid to keep debating Libertarian candidates because the debate hosts this year have not invited Barbara Howe and claim to have always used a 10% polling inclusion criteria, a claim that is simply not true.
Barbara Howe has been polling between 7 and 9% in multiple polls and as high as 13% with independents and 21% with people who self-identify as Hispanic. Voters want to hear from Barbara Howe!
Please take a minute to contact these debate hosts to let them know you want to see Barbara Howe in the debates. If you email them all at the same time, use BCC otherwise your email might get sorted as spam. The last two are web forms but you should be able to copy and paste your message in there fairly easy.
[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected],
Don't stop there though. If you can, make yourself a reminder and email them every day or every other day. With November 6th quickly approaching, there is no time to waste! Although our efforts are urgent, please remain respectful and polite in your emails with these individuals and organizations. Supporters all across the state will be coordinating efforts and together we can fight for inclusion.
If ultimately we fail to get Barbara Howe invited to the debates, we should not give up hope. Both McCrory and Dalton are failing to generate excitement and people are hungry for a third option. We must always be ready to pick up new supporters and show them that there is a better choice this election. Let your friends and family know about Barbara Howe. It is absolutely critical though that we continue to maintain our status as an official party by receiving 2% of the vote. On November 6th, we anticipate a strong showing for the Libertarian party, possibly one of the best yet!
This fight isn't over on November 7th. The Libertarian Party of North Carolina is becoming more organized and growing by the day. We appreciate all your help and are excited to continue to grow this movement with you. If you'd like to volunteer, please take a minute to fill out this form too: http://tiny.cc/1z7ggw

Swank Audio Visuals Promotes Three New Divisional Vice Presidents
Craig Hill, Michael Mansell and Steve Oliver Are Elevated to Executive Roles
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Swank Audio Visuals proudly announces the promotions of Craig Hill, Michael Mansell and Steve Oliver to Divisional Vice President. Their key leadership over the years has significantly contributed to the continued growth and expansion of the Company, and combined with their many accomplishments, they have earned their new titles of Divisional Vice President.
Craig Hill
Craig Hill joined Swank in 1999 as Regional Manager for the Mid-Atlantic region and was elevated to Divisional Manager in 2006. He is a graduate of Guilford College in Greensboro, NC with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management.
As Divisional Vice President for the Northeast Division, Hill supports Swank's teams and operations in Boston, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and the Washington, D.C. metro area.
"In my career with Swank, I have been afforded the opportunity to work with so many talented people who have influenced my leadership style and contributed to my professional growth," said Hill. "I could not have achieved this success without the support of the team members in the Northeast Division, my peers and St. Louis support teams. At Swank, team members are encouraged to share new ideas and are recognized for achievement. Opportunities are born out of the Company's growth and individual talents. Swank continues to be the leader in our industry, and I am proud to have been a part of the Swank Team for 13 years. I am looking forward to many more years and seeing greater opportunities for many of our deserving Swank team members."
Michael Mansell
Michael Mansell graduated from San Jose State University in 1992 with a bachelor's in Radio, Television and Film Studies. After working in the broadcast industry, he joined Swank in 1994 as an Assistant Director.
"When I first joined the Company, I set my sights on growing my knowledge of all aspects of our business," said Mansell. "I immediately recognized the Swank business culture as a very rare and unique environment. This provided me the motivation and passion to succeed."
Demonstrating his talent for developing people and building hotel relationships, Mansell was promoted to multi-unit Team Leader in 2001 before advancing to Regional Manager in 2004. As Divisional Manager and now as Divisional Vice President, he oversees operations for the Western Division, including Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii.
Mansell said, "The most fundamental lessons that impacted my career growth are that if we learn and improve from our mistakes and take care of our customers, team members and our hotel partners in a sincere and genuine fashion, the rest will take care of itself. I have been fortunate to have excellent leaders as my mentors, and I have been fortunate to have unbelievably talented and dedicated team members surrounding me. My hope is that I may, in turn, provide guidance and leadership to others and enjoy the rewards of helping our team members achieve their goals."
Steve Oliver
In 1990, Steve Oliver began his career in the food and beverage industry before joining Swank 19 years ago as an Assistant Director in Houston, TX. He relocated to Washington, D.C. to serve as Team Leader in 1995 before returning to Texas in 1997 to become Area Manager. Later as Regional Manager, Steve worked diligently to develop Swank's business in the Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana markets. In 2007, he was promoted to Southern Divisional Manager, and as Divisional Vice President, he manages all aspects involving sales, marketing and operations for properties from Texas to Florida.
"This opportunity is a direct reflection on the many team members that I have had the privilege to work beside each and every day for the past 19 years," said Oliver. "The opportunities that Swank has afforded me during my career to learn, grow and succeed are priceless. The success of our Company is the result of the outstanding accomplishments and superior performance of all our team members. I will continue to enthusiastically champion our Company's goals and direction and will encourage our team members to do the same as they grow their careers within our Swank family. I look forward to the opportunities we will continue to create for our current and future team members."

Florida Marlins: Lopez may not be in AAA long; Hanley might hit first; Support for Cousins
When the Marlins signed Jose Lopez to a minor league deal, they didn't necessarily plan on keeping him at Triple-A for very long. Lopez, a former All-Star second baseman with the Seattle Mariners, could join the big league club sooner rather than later, according to a source who has spoken with a front office member.
Lopez started at second base and homered in his debut with New Orleans Thursday night. While Lopez isn't likely to displace fellow Venezuelan Omar Infante, he can has played short and third in addition to second. The right-handed hitting Lopez ultimately could split time at third with lefty-swinging Greg Dobbs. Lopez can boast almost 1,500 major league innings at third and he's still only 27. Dobbs and Lopez were teammates for a while in the Mariners organization.
If and when Lopez is promoted, the Marlins would only have to pay him a prorated share of the $414,000 major league minimum. The Marlins would have to create a 40-man roster spot for Lopez…
Before Friday's game, manager Edwin Rodriguez did not dismiss the idea of hitting Hanley Ramirez atop the order when he comes off the disabled list, perhaps as soon as Tuesday. Rodriguez probably wouldn't hit him first right out of the chute, choosing initially to bat him in the two-hole.
Less than two weeks ago, Rodriguez said the Marlins needed to win with Chris Coghlan batting atop the order. He's had an uneven season and began play Friday with a .306 on-base percentage. Collectively, Marlins leadoff hitters are batting .242 with a .311 OBP, ranked 14th and tied for 11th, among National League teams, respectively….
Closer Leo Nunez, who felt a pull in his back while warming up for the 10th inning of Wednesday's game, likely will not be available until next week. He has to play catch without pain before the Marlins considering sending him back to the mound. Nunez last pitched on Sunday….
Good catch by Dave in Hollywood, who via email alerted me that during Tuesday's broadcast he noticed Scott Cousins mouth the words "I appreciate that," when he came up to pinch hit in the ninth. Cousins did in fact say that to catcher David Ross, who told him the Atlanta Braves were behind him and encouraged Cousins to keep his head up.

REVIEW: The Trouble With Being A Duke by Sophie Barnes
[color-box]The Trouble With Being A Duke by Sophie Barnes
(At The Kingsborough Ball #1), Avon (27 August 2013), Ebook: 384 pages
Historical Romance
Website • Series Listing • Amazon UK / US
The Trouble With Being A Duke is a historical romance with a Cinderella-esque twist. Reformed rake and Duke, Anthony has had to grow up and face his responsibilities following his father's death. Convincing his mother to throw a ball for the first time in five years, he knows it's time to find a bride.
Faced with marriage to a man she cannot abide in order to relieve her family's financial troubles, Isabella wants one night of fabulousness. Sneaking into the Duke's ball was meant to be one night just for herself before she enters into marriage with the immensely self centred and vain Mr. Roberts, but she didn't expect to capture the attention of the Duke himself.
This is a lovely romance, I do like a rags to riches story and The Trouble With Being A Duke has every element of a rags to fairytale. It also has a sense of humour, the opening ball even has a Cinderella theme and as Isabella flees the scene of the ball I kind of half expected her to leave a shoe behind.
Anthony is immediately smitten, this is most definitely a love at first sight romance, and is determined to capture the heart and hand of his future bride. Isabella is a great heroine, but also kind of mad. Not a mad character, but completely determined to marry the rather hideous Mr. Roberts to save her parent's reputation, it all gets a bit bonkers. I mean she has a Duke who wants to marry her. But it would seem her mother hates the gentry and is horrified by her daughter's new suitor. And well it's all a bit ridiculous really, with her parents refusing to let the Duke visit, Isabella determined not to fall for him and cue a rather silly plot, which is entertaining never the less and I couldn't stop myself from turning the pages.
The romance itself is sweet, I loved that Anthony was so in love with Isabella from the first moment, what girl doesn't want a fabulous rich man running after them and trying to woe them? He is dashing and courteous and rather irresistible. A true knight in shining armour.
There are some great additional characters that add to the story, from Isabella's cheeky sister Jamie, Anthony's rakish best friend and his rather sweet mother. As this is the beginning of a new series by Barnes this opens things up for plenty of further sub stories for different characters.
The ending is rather fab in true Cinderella style (are you sensing a theme? 😉 ) and of course the baddies get their due comeuppance. I ended up enjoying The Trouble With Being A Duke much more than I thought I would when I read the summary.
A great, fun read. There aren't lots of twists and turns, it's a simple romance about an ordinary girl capturing the heart of a Duke. Despite its simplicity and slight plot silliness I actually couldn't put it down and finished the last page with a smile on my face.

Planning a wedding for hundreds or even dozens can be exhausting. Take a few minutes from your very busy wedding planning schedule and relax with a wedding themed movie. You'll probably see yourself in there somewhere, and who knows… even laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.
Here is our list of the Top 10 Wedding Movies:
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
What makes My Big Fat Greek Wedding the perfect wedding movie is because anyone with a close family knows that there is no such thing as planning a "small" wedding. Quickly the bride loses control of her own wedding and lets everyone else take over. It's also one of the few "wedding" movies a guy will actually watch.
Father of the Bride
Both Father of the Bride movies (the original and the remake) are classics. Every father can identify with the utter chaos and expense of hosting his daughter's perfect wedding and although he cringes at the idea of paying for ice sculptures and swans he'll do anything for his little girl.
The Birdcage
We all know how much fun it is to meet the future in-laws. The Birdcage, although eccentric, embodies what it is like when two worlds are forced to collide simply for the happiness of their children.
The Wedding Planner
No one understands how hectic and insane wedding preparations can be like a wedding planner. But it also demonstrates that if everything is organized properly even the biggest weddings and run smoothly. However, if your Wedding Planner looks like Jennifer Lopez avoid introducing her to your groom.
Monsoon Wedding
The title really says it all. Monsoon Wedding shows that big weddings are large and chaotic all over the world, especially when mixing old traditions and customs with modern life.
My Best Friend's Wedding
Let's hope your fiancé's best friend isn't in love with him and is secretly trying to ruin your wedding, but the plot makes for a pretty funny movie. If nothing else it gives you some signs to look for just in case someone else is in love with your guy.
The Wedding Singer
Although the Wedding Singer opens with a groom being left at the altar, the rest of the movie reminds us how sweet it is to fall in love.
27 Dresses
Almost every girl knows what it is like to be a bridesmaid, but 27 times is a little excessive. In this cute romantic comedy Jane learns than when she stops worrying about everyone else's marital bliss she just might find her own.
Corpse Bride
So it's not the most traditionally romantic wedding themed movie on the DVD shelf; however, it gives a different perspective of the commitment with a Tim Burton twist. And really, how many romantic comedies can you sit through?
Runaway Bride
It's not always the groom that gets cold feet. In Runaway Bride, Julia Roberts leaves at least four men standing at the altar. Sometimes second thoughts and cold feet are ok, just don't do leave it to the very last minute. On second thought, don't watch this movie with your guy, it just might scare him.

When global superstar Snoop Dogg isn't entertaining, he's helping to raise money to for his foundation, the Snoop Youth Football League. This month he will score proceeds for the league through the 7-Eleven "Coffee Cup With A Cause" program.
Snoop is the fourth designer in the company's charitable "Coffee Cup With A Cause" program, following reality television star and philanthropist Nicole Richie, singer/actress Jennifer Hudson and professional wrestler John Cena. Proceeds from Snoop's cup will benefit the Snoop Youth Football League (SYFL), a Los Angeles-based football club founded by the entertainer himself six years ago to help inner-city kids spend free time in a healthy, safe environment.
Today through Oct. 18, fans who want to support the SYFL can head into any participating 7-Eleven store across the U.S. to purchase his signature cup while supplies last. 7-Eleven guarantees a $250,000 minimum donation to SYFL, but the donation could increase depending on the number of cups sold. Consumers can increase the donation by purchasing the cup.
To celebrate 7-Eleven's donation and the launch of his cup, Snoop will make a special announcement at the beginning of his SYFL team's practice. The kids of the SYFL program – the true beneficiaries of the donation – will learn firsthand about the program and associated donation, as well as get to be one of the first to get their hands on one of the Snoop-designed 7-Eleven cups.
"We've been running this league for 6 years now with more than 3,500 kids participating in that time, but our partnership with 7-Eleven's 'Coffee Cup with A Cause' program is huge for us," Snoop said. "It means many good things are in store for the players, and the league can reach out to more kids and touch more lives."
Snoop has recently seen the seeds of his namesake league come to fruition as four of the former players have gone on to play football at NCAA Division1 colleges.
"The Snoop Youth Football League serves an important role in the community by helping kids focus their energy on something positive," says Rita Bargerhuff, 7-Eleven's vice president and chief marketing officer.
"I'm just so proud of my league and my players right now, and designing a 'Cup With A Cause' is really an exciting opportunity for us," Snoop added. The entertainer plans to expand his youth football program to other cities across the country, beginning in Chicago this fall.
