Social Work Program Director: John Yoakam
Social Work Faculty: Janelle Hinchley, Valandra, John Yoakam
Social work practice is rooted in turn-of-the-century efforts to meet the needs of the poor, of neglected and abused children, and of exploited workers and immigrant families. During that time social workers led the fight for child labor laws, more humane industrial conditions, voting rights for women and other progressive milestones.
Today, social work serves many different populations in a variety of settings. A social worker may help an elderly person adjust to an assisted living facility. A street worker may organize diversion projects for gang members. A school social worker may lead a group for pregnant teens. A county worker may intervene to save the life of an abused child. A community organizer may be the catalyst for a neighborhood's effort to rid itself of drug dealers. All social workers are joined by a common dedication to foster healthy families and communities.
The principal educational objective of the social work program is to provide students with a knowledge base and a set of skills and professional values necessary for beginning generalist practice in a wide variety of settings. The Council on Social Work Education has awarded this program full baccalaureate level accreditation. Graduation from this program allows a student to sit for the State of Minnesota Social Work Licensing Exam, baccalaureate level (Licensed Social Worker as well as the Merit Exam for county or state employment).
To be a school social worker in Minnesota requires licensure by two different regulating boards. One license is granted by the Board of Social Work and the other is granted through the State Department of Education. The College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University is an approved program for school social work certification.
Graduates of this social work program are given as much as one year's credit toward a master's degree when accepted to a graduate social work program. To better understand the social work profession and our program, visit the program's web site at HTTP://www.csbsju.edu/socialwork
The Social Work Department is accredited by the National Council on Social Work Education through 2007. Our most recent accreditation examination, including self-study and site visit, was 1998-1999. The program was approved for reaffirmation of accreditation by the Council in the Fall of 1999. Evidence that the Social Work program is meeting its goals and objectives includes high passage rates for State of Minnesota Social Work Licensure. The program regularly surveys senior field instructors who have supervised our students. We are pleased to report that these practicing social workers rate our students very highly, and are enthusiastic about supervising our students and hiring our graduates. Finally, our program polls graduates at regular intervals. Based on this data, we can assert that 100% of students seeking a social work position upon graduation are placed in a position within three months. In 2001 the Social Work Department began using a nationally standardized assessment program which will give data on acquisition of ethical principles over time and will eventually poll social work employers about graduate performance, among other functions.
Required Courses:
Prerequisite coursework: BIOL 112; PSYC 111; SOCI 111; SWRK 230, 250, 251. The first four courses should be taken during the student's first and second years of college. SWRK 250 and 251 should be taken fall and spring of the sophomore year.

text: Issue 12 Preview – Transport – Toyota Tundra Maxwell Matthewson 0 COMMENT Biohazard Bug Out In the Time of Zombies Maxwell Matthewson and Patrick Vuong Photography by Maxwell Matthewson We're usually not ones to feed into the current, though thankfully fading, undead fetish. You won't see a special RECOIL flesh-eaters issue or a buyer's guide on zombie-green rifle accessories. But we have to admit that if there were a living-dead pandemic, we'd have no fear being at ground zero so long as we were behind the wheel of this off-road rig. In recent years, we've seen many a truck souped up to serve as zombie apocalypse vehicles. Some are serious tanks that can handle any terrain thrown at them, while others are really just trailer queens disguised with a lot of automotive makeup and not enough muscle. This 2011 Toyota Tundra, however, doesn't need a boost of creatine. "Another 'Yota?" you might ask. Sure, we featured a Tundra in Issue 10, but this truck is perhaps even more prepared for a SHTF scenario. It is bulletproof after all. No, really, it is. Ready for World War Z The first thing any good end-of-the-world vehicle needs is a bigger stance to clear hordes of walkers, downed power lines, and the useless smartcars that will no doubt litter the streets. So, the truck owner — who is former military and prefers to keep his name out of print — outfitted his rig with a 7-inch BDS lift kit front and rear. Icon Vehicle Dynamics remote reservoir coilovers and piggyback shocks make sure that the Tundra rides great, even over the roughest terrain. Hellwig sway bars front and rear control body roll, while custom skidplates protect undercarriage vitals. The 37×13.50R20 Nitto Mud Grappler M/T tires are held in place with OMF Performance beadlocks on a set of KMC XD wheels. Another must for a bug-out vehicle is more power. Giving the 5.7L V-8 a boost is a Volant cold-air intake system. Doug Thorley long-tube headers route the hot exhaust to the 3-inch Flowmaster mufflers. Getting the engine's power to the ground is a set of Nitro ring-and-pinion gears front and rear. Finally, a Bully Dog GT T+ tuner allows one of four different tunes to be loaded into the iForce's ECU. And as we all know, the last man on earth will no doubt be standing with a gun in his hands. With desperate folks, straight-up villains, and hordes of the undead dotting the landscape, dealing with firearms is a given when World War Z hits. To survive an ambush or to prevent an errant round from disabling this Toyota, almost the entire truck has been made bulletproof — at the cost of $15,000. This includes the doors, the windows, the camper shell, and the engine compartment. For the rest of this article, subscribe here: RECOIL Issue 12

Donegal Fergus, a former assistant at Seattle University, returns to the Emerald City as the new hitting coach at Washington, Husky head coach Lindsay Meggs announced today.
"I can't tell you how excited I am to welcome Donegal Fergus to our coaching staff," Coach Meggs said. "Donegal has a proven track record for recruiting the state of Washington as well as the entire Northwest, and he will make an immediate impact on our hitters.
"All that being said, it is his people skills that set him apart," Meggs continued. "Donegal loves to teach, and he loves his players. And I have no doubt that our players are going to respond to him in a way that gives us that edge. Coach Fergus is going to be great for our players, and great for our program."
Fergus spent the 2013 season as the head coach at Lower Columbia College in Longview, Wash. He led the Red Devils to a 34-14 record and a trip to the West Region playoffs.
Before taking over at Lower Columbia, where he'd also served as an assistant coach from 2001-05, Fergus had spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Seattle University, where he oversaw the hitting. For the five years before that, he was head coach at Tacoma CC. At Tacoma, he posted a career record of 125-100 while reaching the playoffs in all five seasons. His 2006 team finished third at the NWAACC tournament.
In 2011, his first season at SeattleU, he helped the Redhawks make tremendous strides in offensive production, increasing run scoring, home runs, doubles, walks on-base percentage and slugging.
During his time as an assistant at Lower Columbia, he helped the team to four division titles, three second-place finishes in the NWAACC and an NWAACC championship. He earned a reputation as a strong recruiter during that time, highlighted by one class (2005) that included seven players who ended up being selected in the MLB Draft.
Fergus played baseball at Linfield College in Oregon, earning a bachelor's degree in political science in 2000. He also earned a master's degree in homeland security from the American Military University in 2007. A native of Powers, Ore., Fergus and his wife, Kim, have three children, Seamus, Finnegan and Maclean.

I suspect that almost everyone knows that marriage is a fundamental foundation of our society. It has been the obvious and conscious way people have declared to all around them of their intent to propagate the species, build structure and teach the next generation. However important that maybe, it is not the most fundamental thing about marriage. Now probably many professed Christians will have problems with this, yet it is time that the concept should come abroad. I will try to keep this as short as possible. I have been told by some of my best friends that my articles are long. I will try to keep them within a page or two. That means fewer explanations yet more conciseness.
God is pictured early on as creating a world of Free will in which a mighty one of his angels was set in high places, given riches and beauty and power like none of us can now fully understand. One great question of the ages has become, how do you create a being with free will that is guaranteed not to violate God's will? This would keep a future similar situation from happening; let's say a billion years from now.
The answer that God chose is beyond religious fervor and is quite logical. It was the secret kept from all but Yeshua before the beginning of the world. That secret has been acted out by man since his creation. We all know the Story. God said, "Let us make man, in our image, like us." That's it. It is what the whole solution is about. The us is said to be the Father and the Son in (St John 1:1-3) To this day religionists cannot catch on for fear that they are blaspheming. The title Elohim which is plural refers to a Father and Son. And the Spirit is their life force; exhibiting all that they are as persons and is active throughout everything. There is no place where the Spirit of God does not exist it is even in heaven and hell.
To do this extraordinary thing, God made man in dual opposite parts, Male and Female. The Woman, who came from the bosom of the man, receives information (DNA which is like words) from the man and a new being is created. God intimated that because he made them Male and female and all that that means, Man shall leave father and Mother and cleave to his wife. Yeshua (Jesus) reiterated this in Matthew 19:4-6; how the man and women becomes one flesh and how no man has the authority to change this.
Now let's look at a couple of things about Adam and eve and marriage. Notice when they had a child, scripture says that Adam had a child, in his image, after his likeness? Notice Adam is imaging God in his own life. Man has continued to do the same throughout history. Ever heard a neighbor say, why that child is the spitting image of the father or mother? Well their becoming physically one produces a child in their image. And about the two becoming one flesh, the scripture asks and why one? Then it answers itself, because he seeks a Godly seed.
This is reflected in what God told the Nahash (Serpent, Satan) after he deceived Eve and Adam went along with it. The woman would have a child that would stomp on his (the serpent's) head and the Serpent would bruise his (the promised child) heel. This seed is Yeshua the Messiah.

Minutewomen Rewrite The Record Book At Sorlien Invitational
Jan. 19, 2014
KINGSTON, R.I. - Earlier this week junior jumper Becky Stoyle said that the team's breakout performance in the season opener displayed the hard work this year and that the team plans on improving each week moving forward. The Minutewomen did just that on Saturday afternoon at the unscored Sorlien Invitational in Kingston, R.I.
The team fought for 34 top eight performances with three marks rewriting the UMass record book. UMass competed against American International, Bryant University, Stonehill College and A-10 powerhouse University of Rhode Island. For the second straight week the team did not miss a beat excelling in all areas of the sport finishing multiple athletes in the top eight of 10 events.
Sophomore multi and high jumper Katie Osborne made the biggest jump in the record book with her height of 5-feet, 7-inches in the high jump. The mark now gives her the second best height all-time at UMass and was good enough for second place in the meet.
Fellow sophomore multi Kelsey Crawford has made a name for herself in the Atlantic 10 for her throwing abilities early in her career. On Saturday Crawford threw 43-feet, 7.25-inches in the shot put placing her first in the meet and fourth all-time at UMass.
Crawford was one of three Minutewomen to finish in the top eight in the event with Sarah Wagner and Alexa Fearing taking fifth and sixth respectively. Margaret Riseborough capped off the thrower's performances with an eighth place toss in the weight throw equaling 42-feet, 11.75-inches.
UMass finished four in the top eight in both the long jump and triple jump. Courtney Kromko was one-of-three Minutewomen to place in the top eight of both events with two second place finishes. The junior leaped 38-feet, 6.5-inches in the triple jump placing her fifth in UMass history. She placed second in the long jump as well with a 17-foot, 9.75-inch jump.
Stoyle took first place in both events. The junior improved her triple jump mark this season to 40-feet, 9.5-inches and also leaped 18-feet, 0.25-inches in the long jump. Ashley Palmer was the third Minutewoman to score in both events with a third place leap of 17-feet, 7-inches in the long jump and a 35-foot, 8.5-inch mark in the triple jump placing her fifth in the triple jump.
Lauren Avery and Camille Edwards each grabbed a fourth place performance in their respective events. Edwards jumped 17-feet, 4.75-inches in the long jump while Avery set a 37-foot, 1.25-inch mark in the triple jump. Rachel Busch joined the group with a fourth place performance of her own in the pole vault with a height of 9-feet, 10-inches.
The Minutewomen once again showed that they are a much deeper and talented team than a year ago in their events on the track. Of 34 top eight performances 20 came on the track.
Palmer, Brittany Green and Kayla Baldwin all had times good enough to score in the 60 meter dash. Finishing fourth and leading the trio was Palmer with a time of 8.08-seconds with Green just .01-seconds behind at 8.09 for a fifth place finish.
Baldwin clocked in at 8.11-seconds for eight place and would then finish fourth in the 200 meter dash with a time of 26.83-seconds. Fellow senior Andrea Saccardo ran for a third place clocking in at 1-minute, 1.93-seconds in the 400 meter dash.
In the 60 meter hurdles it was Green who grabbed third with a time of 9.05-seconds while Megan Patrolia finished fifth in 9.21-seconds.
The A-10 Rookie of the Week and ECAC Athlete of the Week was back at it again in the 800 meter run with a first place finish in the 800 meter run and a time of 2-minutes, 19.65-seconds. Heather MacLean was joined by Courtney Neves in third place at 2-minutes, 23.68-seconds and Katie Powers in fourth at the 2-minute, 23.95-second mark.
The 1,000 meter run featured top performances from Sarah Bittermann and Carly Zinner. Bittermann finished third in 3-minutes, 6.53-seconds while Zinner placed seventh clocking in at 3-minutes, 9.32-seconds.
Rachel Hilliard once again ran well in the mile with a second place finish and a time of 5-minutes, 7.02-seconds. Molly McMahon trailed the junior harrier crossing the finish line at 5-minutes, 18.34-seconds for a seventh place finish.
Freshman Christine Davis led the way in the 3,000 meter run with a time of 10-minutes, 35.01-seconds placing her fifth in the meet. Sarah Barrett and Katrina Martyn finished back-to-back in the event going seventh and eighth respectively with Barrett completing the event in 10-minutes 48.40-seconds and Martyn crossing the finish line in 10-minutes, 50.14-seconds.
The team's relay quads also grabbed top eight performances with two teams finishing fourth and fifth in the 4x400 meter relay and one team finishing third in the 4x800 meter relay.
Next week on Friday, January 24 the Minutewomen will compete in the Northeastern Indoor Games in Roxbury, Mass. at 4:00 p.m.

QVC came by and said they had some terrific ideas for grad gifts, Mother's Day, wedding gifts and for someone moving into a first home or new apartment and that it could all be wrapped up in one name, Jill Martin.
We said, "Do tell," and received a sample that most all closet aficionados would love: it's a Jill Martin 360 Rotating Hexagonal Hanging Closet Organizer, QVC Item #V32135, retails at approximately $44.00.
Now mostly when you seen closet organizers--and we've seen a lot--they are plastic material, with cheap cardboard inserts and just generally of low quality. No so with this organizer! We love it. The patterned fabric in cottagy-cool—a toile with trim—in a feminine design. The hook enables the hanging bags to spin, so you can get to all sides, and there are plenty of places for shoes, sweaters and other good things. We highly recommend it.
Following is an interview with our design/fashion authority/author/television personality; you'll love it:
Q.: Jill, what is it about closets that scare us so much?
Jill: I think everyone is scared of how MUCH we all have in our closets. We keep buying and buying and eventually don't realize what is going on when we open that door! The trick is to constantly sort through your wardrobe and donate, consign or give away those items that don't work for you. Hint: anything you haven't worn in a year GOES!
Q.: How did you decide which storage products to create for QVC?
Jill: I had written a book with my co-author Dana Ravich called I Have Nothing to Wear and it encouraged everyone to purge and cleanse their closets. I couldn't find items to recommend for women to buy once they were ready to get organized, so I created them!
Q.: Is it your fashion side that helped you to create the hanging garment bags with the different outfits on the front?
Jill: I just love that item - it is the centerpiece of my collection. I think it allows women to stay fashionable even on the go and makes the outfit you have stored extra special!
Q.: You went from sports to the closet--Ha, just kidding. How does your background influence what you do?
Jill: That is a "HA!" question. I feel like there are two areas of media: entertainment and hard news...almost everything falls into one of those two categories. Sports and fashion (for me) represent the same thing. My goal is to always make people laugh, teach something meaningful or help others. The gift of organization is one that I feel many women struggle with...and I will continue my quest to make everyone an organizational queen!
Q.: What's on the horizon for Jill Martin?
Jill: AHHH...well, I am writing this from Israel right now. It is my first time coming here and it has truly been a life-changing experience. I am dedicating my summer to working on my line, continuing to come up with new ideas for "The Today Show" and traveling as much as I can. My QVC line for the fall is BEYOND WORDS...I am so excited to introduce it!
Q.: Are there any organizing or fashion tips—or both—you would like to give Home and Living Readers?
Jill: 1) Wear what you love, NOT what is in style.
2) Take a chance...fashion is supposed to be fun.
3) An organized woman is a fashionable one. It is so important to keep your closet (and every part of your life in order!).
4) Confidence is the best accessory. If you FEEL great...you will LOOK it as well!
The Jill by Jill Martin collection is available, while supplies last, through QVC.com, the QVC apps or by calling 800.345.1515.

Beyoncé may have released a single back in 2008 referencing her man's "big ego" but, it's Global Grind who's reporting on the more humble side of the "I Am... Sasha Fierce" singer referencing the star's big heart. On Monday July 7 the site reported that the icon dished out "$7 million on a housing complex in her hometown, Houston, Texas, to shelter homeless men and women."
It was during an interview with Beyoncé's longtime pastor that all of her notable charity work was exposed. Vibe released the video of Pastor Rudy Rasmus' interview with local Houston news station KHOU, where he spoke very highly of Mrs Knowles-Carter.
"She's doing great things, matter of fact, phenomenal things," Rasmus said in support of the singer. "She has a global platform and is doing some amazing work. And I'm glad she's a friend of mine." The pastor added how helpful she and her efforts have been over the years in pushing his ministry forward.
"She's an incredible human being, has an incredible heart, and has been extremely helpful in our mission, in our ministry here," he said.
It's great to know that the woman recently named Forbes' most powerful celebrity is using her power for good and not evil. Despite rumors of her illuminati affiliation Beyoncé, whose worth is an estimated $115 million in earnings, has managed to disregard all of the hateful chatter and represent herself, at least in the public eyes, as a true Houston southern bell with a heart of gold.
Currently on tour with husband/rap mogul Jay-Z, the power couple have found another way to use their talents in the spirit of giving. A portion of the proceeds for the "On the Run Tour," which Huffington Post describes as an on stage live "conversation through songs," will go the Shawn Carter Foundation - to provide scholarships for students.

Obama's hatred of success in America is bearing fruit. After deciding to socialize the banks and promulgate hatred against successful bankers, the strangest thing happened on the way to the gulag. All those talented bankers are now leaving to work for folk who value them — foreign banks.
Socialists never seem to learn. As Margaret Thatcher once said "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." The other problem is that talented people will go where they have the best opportunities. For decades, the US has benefited from a global "brain drain," where the best and brightest have come to the US where they know that hard work and talent will bring them success. Obama and the Dems have redefined that. The US is now the place where the best and the brightest can come to be demonized and where success is considered evil. Not surprisingly, the US is starting to become the victim of a brain drain, not the beneficiary. Good work Obama. Obama's vision is that of enforced mediocrity — the old Soviet idea of "they pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work."
It's not surprising that the recent trip by the Dems to the worker's paradise of Cuba resulted in such raves for Castro's success. It matches Obama's vision of political success — oppressive government, destruction of liberty, and trickle-up poverty.
What a disaster.

Arts Alive is a celebration of art that happens on the first Saturday of every month in Eureka California. It is an event that reminds us of the benefits of living in a small community with accessible art for most of our local community.
This past Saturday on February the 6th Arts Alive was again brimming with art, artists and patrons of the arts all gathered to celebrate the community we live in. Many galleries were featuring local artists as well as the occasional out-of-towner bringing in fresh work to a tiny town. The first half of the evening was filled with ups and downs. With trips to Los Bagels and First Street Gallery as well as checking out some street performances by local artists, there was much to be observed.
Unfortunately with a monthly art show comes pressure to fill every available gallery space, wall, storefront, street corner, alley, sidewalk, courtyard, living room, hallway, floor, ceiling and bathroom with as much art as possible. This often creates an overwhelming experience where you never know where one show starts and the other ends. It is nice to see amateurs express their artistic intents but without a certain level of experience, their art fades into a see of mundane, over thought expressions that attempt to speak to a crowd that is not the one in attendance.
This was very prevalent in gallery spaces such as Humboldt State's First Street Gallery. In the front room they featured a faculty exchange with CSU Stanislaus. Most of the works were ill places, over crowded and gave the viewer the feeling of keep going. This was unsettling as it is one of the premier spaces during arts alive. The art was easily discernable as work of professors of art. Most were over thought and only existed as a contextual reference to art history and lacked meaning to the average viewer. This is a huge downfall in contemporary art culture outside of the pop-art world as most are to focused on referencing art history as a means to reach the viewer while there true intent is lost in this quest to make meaning from history.
Thankfully this wasn't the case all over Eureka. Check out Part 2 of the Arts Alive excursion to see how an overcrowded art event can go from bad to good by opening another door.

The U.S. Dollar declined against the Euro and the Yen as investors were anticipating that the Federal Reserve will expand its bond-purchasing program when it meets later today.
The greenback remained weak against the aforementioned Forex currencies following the release of better than expected economic data out of China which showed that factory production increased 10.1% last month and Retail Sales rose to 14.9%.
Meanwhile, the Euro erased losses versus the U.S. monetary unit as stocks pared a drop subsequent to an announcement by McDonald's Corp. indicating that the restaurant franchise posted a hike in sales of 2.4% globally. However, the Euro's gains were somewhat limited as Italy's Prime Minister, Mario Monti, stated that he plans to resign, a factor that caused the Yen to reach the highest level in close to two weeks against the shared currency. Technical analysis experts believe the news may continue to weigh on the Euro, especially as Mr. Monti tries to talk his coalition into approving the budget prior to his resignation.
Other news about Forex rates revealed that Canada's Dollar rallied as the government approved the purchase of the energy company, Nexen Inc. by Cnooc Ltd. (883) for the amount of $15.1 billion.
Lastly, the Australian Dollar dropped from a two-month high after China reported that its imports and exports fell short of forecasts. According to the official figures, exports went up 2.9% from the previous year while imports stayed the same. This dampened the trade outlook for Australia.

Colin Edwards to Replace Haga?
With Nitro Noriyuki Haga running out of, well, nitro this season it seems increasingly clear that likeable as he is, he will not be factory Xerox Ducati mounted in 2010. Who to replace him with? Rumors coming out of the Brno World Superbike round were that the team were in talks with 2 time champion and current Tech 3 MotoGP pilot, Colin Edwards.
Edwards is of course no stranger to the World Superbike paddock, having taken the title twice on the Honda VTR1000SP-W twin (RC51) in 2000 and in spectacular fashion in 2002 where he beat out Troy Bayliss to victory at the final round in Imola. You can revisit some of the excitement below.
If you watched enough of the video you would have been reminded that for 2003 there was talk of Edwards heading to Ducati (instead he signed for Aprilia in MotoGP on the ill-fated Cube). With his run in MotoGP coming to an end, coupled with a disappointing season this year on the satellite Yamaha M1 even Edwards himself is openly talking of the attraction of the 'other' four stroke series. Speaking to Superbike Planet's Dean Adams he said:
"I tell you what's really alluring to the World Superbike thing is I am just so pissed off, pretty much all the time now. I come to a race and I see all my friends. But the lure is basically to be happy. I would like to be happy again and fight for a victory. That's what is enticing, let's say, to look at that scenario and finish my career with a World Championship or two. At the very minimum, you're winning races and you're fighting for victories every weekend.
link: Superbike Planet
Of course the form for former champions returning to the series is not exactly stellar. Chris Vermeulen has made no impact on the series this year at least in part due to his knee injury and uncompetitive Kawasaki, but what is Edward's former Tech 3 teammates excuse? Twice champion James Toseland has been relatively unimpressive so far, with 4 podiums and no victories on the bike that Ben Spies dominated the series with last year.
Still, it would be great to see Edwards back in the series and if on board the Ducati we would be swapping one fan favorite in Haga for another.

Psych Season 4 Complete DVDrip
seeders: 1
leechers: 1
Psych Season 4 Complete DVDrip (Size: 5.47 GB)
Tested with VLC on PC and also on Xbox 360 using Playon server to stream content.
Psych is an American crime/mystery comedy television series that premiered on July 7, 2006 on USA Network. It is the network's longest running current original series. It stars James Roday as Shawn Spencer who uses his eidetic memory with the observational and investigative skills that his father ingrained in him during childhood to fake being a psychic who consults with the Santa Barbara Police Department to solve cases, as well as running a psychic detective agency called Psych. He is (reluctantly) helped in his charade by his best friend, Burton "Gus" Guster (Dulé Hill), and his father, Henry Spencer (Corbin Bernsen). He generally works with police detectives Carlton Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) and Juliet O'Hara (Maggie Lawson) and under the direction of Police Chief Karen Vick (Kirsten Nelson).
Episodes usually begin with a flashback to Shawn's youth, showcasing one of Henry's lessons for his son. These lessons are typically used or applied later in the episode.
A sixth season of the show, consisting of 16 episodes, premiered on October 12, 2011.
Most episodes begin with a cold open in the form of a flashback. These flashbacks show that Henry Spencer (Corbin Bernsen) wished that his son would follow in his footsteps and become a law enforcement officer. In preparation, Henry helps Shawn hone his powers of observation and deduction, often using games and challenges to test him. Each flashback also sets the theme for the episode, based on the challenge Shawn's father presents him.
Shawn (James Roday) originally becomes known as a psychic when, after calling in tips on dozens of crime covered on the news, which help the police to close the case, the police become suspicious of his knowledge. The police theorize that such knowledge could only come from the "inside" and they decide to arrest him as a suspect. To avoid being sent to jail, Shawn uses his observational skills to convince the police that he is psychic. The interim police chief warns Shawn that if his "powers" are fake, he will be prosecuted. With no choice but to keep up the act, and having proven himself an effective aid to the police in solving crimes, he establishes a psychic detective agency, Psych, and becomes a consultant to the police. Pretending to have psychic powers allows him to engage in strange and comic behavior as he turns real clues into hunches and otherworldly visitations. He enjoys teasing lifelong friend Gus, a pharmaceutical representative, about Gus's eclectic interests.
Head detective Carlton Lassiter (Timothy Omundson), playfully named "Lassie" by Shawn and Gus, quietly respects Shawn's crime-solving skills but doubts his psychic abilities and is constantly exasperated by his antics. On the contrary, junior detective Juliet O'Hara (Maggie Lawson) and Chief Vick (Kirsten Nelson) are far less antagonistic – with O'Hara expressing belief in Shawn's abilities, while Vick is mum on the subject – and usually willing to give Shawn the leeway he needs to solve cases. Henry and Shawn have a difficult relationship, but despite this, Henry reluctantly helps Shawn on various occasions.
Main characters
Shawn Spencer (James Roday) is a freelance consultant with the Santa Barbara Police Department, pretending to be a psychic. However, it is really his exceptional observational skills and eidetic memory that allow him to obtain his "visions". He refuses to take anything seriously, though has matured slowly throughout the seasons. He has had romantic tension with Juliet since they met, which led them to start dating in the middle of season 5.
Burton "Gus" Guster (Dulé Hill) is Shawn's best friend and business partner. He also is a pharmaceuticals salesman. Unlike Shawn, he takes his work very seriously, and usually tries to act professionally, yet usually ends up as invested in jokes and snacks as Shawn is. He is famous for his many aliases (usually given to him by Shawn), including "Magic Head", "Lavender Gooms", "Ghee Buttersnaps", and "Control Alt Delete". He is known for being attracted to all types of females, who usually end up as the prime suspect.
Carlton "Lassie" Lassiter (Timothy Omundson) is the head detective for the Santa Barbara Police Department. He is skeptical of Shawn's psychic abilities, and is extremely annoyed by Shawn's comic antics. However, he occasionally must come to Psych for help with his more difficult cases.
Juliet "Jules" O'Hara (Maggie Lawson) is a junior detective for the Santa Barbara Police Department, and is Lassiter's partner. She joined the SBPD after Lassiter's old partner got transferred in season 1, and was originally a cop in Miami. Throughout the series she and Shawn share constant romantic tension, and the two start dating in season 5.
Chief Karen Vick (Kirsten Nelson) is the SBPD Chief. She is tough but fair, usually reluctant to hire Shawn and Gus for cases, but almost always gives in. She respects Shawn's help and input but firmly keeps him in check (as much as she can) when he pushes the limits of the law or her patience.
Henry Spencer (Corbin Bernsen) is Shawn's uptight and precise father and a former police sergeant. He is usually visited by Shawn with questions about various cases, but is usually reluctant to help. He has been rehired to the SBPD to be in charge of the department's consultants, much to Shawn's chagrin. At the end of Season 6, Henry quit the SBPD and then was shot by a former police partner in the season's cliffhanger ending.

Jackson and The National Bank III
Program InformationSeries: A Moment in Time
Duration: 00:04:05
Year Produced: 2008
With his veto of the charter renewal of the Bank of the United States in 1832, Andrew Jackson delayed the establishment of a U.S. central bank until the early 20th century.
A Moment in Time is a brief, exciting and compelling journey into the past. Created to excite and enlighten the public about the past, its relevance to the present and its impact on the future, A Moment In Time is a captivating historical narrative that is currently broadcast worldwide.For more information visit: http://amomentintime.com
Lead: With his veto of the charter renewal of the Bank of the United States in 1832, Andrew Jackson delayed the establishment of a U.S. central bank until the early 20th century.
Intro: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts.
Content: The battle over the bank was emotional, constitutional, but above all, political. Jackson's political enemies, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, thought the Bank's survival was a winning issue in their attempt to defeat Jackson in the election of 1832, but he outfoxed them. The bank was popular with many businessmen, north and south, but among a majority of Jackson's supporters it represented an assault on the old Jeffersonian idea of states' rights. Also, the bank issued bank notes or paper money which was considered fake when compared to gold and silver, but most of all the Bank, headed by blue-blood Philadelphian Nicholas Biddle, was thought to concentrate too much power in the hands of rich, aristocratic, big city easterners.
Prodded by Clay and Webster, Biddle applied for a re-charter of the bank four years early, in 1832, confident he could get the votes for an override should Jackson veto the bill. The bank's enemies in Congress led by Senator Thomas Hart Benton played the game of delay while Jackson's allies orchestrated a public outcry against the Bank accusing it of economic abuse and Biddle of corruption. In July 1832 Jackson vetoed the re-charter, successfully fended off the override, and made it an issue in the 1832 campaign. Jackson's overwhelming victory sealed the bank's fate. Attempts to modify the charter came to grief because both Biddle and the President refused to compromise enough to make the deal. U.S. deposits were channeled into state banks, called derisively, "pet banks," and America's experiment with a central bank was, for the most part, not revived until the Federal Reserve was established in 1913.
The failure of several of the "pet banks" helped bring on the severe Panic of 1837 and several decades of economic confusion. When the Bank of the United States' charter expired in 1836, Biddle obtained a new one from the state of Pennsylvania. His steady hand and wise judgment began to falter, however, and he led the bank into several risky and doomed business ventures. He retired as president in 1839 and two years later the bank was forced into liquidation. Biddle lost his fortune. He was tried on criminal charges, released on a technicality and died a broken man.
At the University of Richmond, this is Dan Roberts.

This soap is... okay. The smells aren't very unique and the quality is only so-so. Bars are smaller than I anticipated which makes this not a great value. I probably won't buy from this company again.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Bruce Schneier, a security commentator and author who The Register calls, "The closest the security industry has to a rock star," took time to correspond via e-mail with Government Technology about the latest security threats to public-sector IT.
He publishes a popular blog and newsletter on Schneier.com. His most recent book, Schneier on Security, is a collection of previously published essays on security-related topics, such as identification cards, cyber-crime, election security and the psychology of security.
A few CIOs in government are touting "user-generated government" -- i.e., mash-up applications and open source built by citizens. Though this appears to be an economical move, do you think turning to everyday citizens like this opens government to security threats?
Everything involving computers is ripe for security threats. As a security technologist, I'm often pointing out how bad things can be, but it's also important to remember that computers do a lot of good too. User-generated government initiatives have enormous potential to transform the way citizens interact with their elected officials and with government agencies. It will help citizens get more involved with the issues that affect their lives. This is all good. Of course there are potential security threats, and we should watch them, but that's no reason not to do this sort of thing.
Obama said he'll overhaul the nation's IT infrastructure when he takes office. If he somehow manages to fund and build new smart roads, smart buildings and a smart electrical grid, I assume it would open up a can of worms as far as security. Could a smart road be hacked, for example, and if so, what's vulnerable?
Everything involving computers is vulnerable and can be hacked. Again, that's no reason to deny ourselves the benefits of technology. Security is a trade-off, and the benefits of smart utilities, smart buildings and smart roads need to be balanced against potential abuses. I'd like to see us designing these systems in such a way as to minimize the potential for abuse -- by maximizing personal privacy for example -- to make that trade-off more beneficial.
Security is only as good as its weakest link, of course, so should the incoming Obama administration focus instead on the security of state and local government IT -- where in many instances security is lacking -- rather than what appears to be Obama's infatuation with the overarching national IT infrastructure? And what do!--[if> !--[if> !--[if> !--[if> !--[if> !--[if> ![endif]--> !--[if>

Young Added to Texas Tech Soccer Staff
Bri Young joins the Texas Tech soccer staff as a volunteer assistant.
June 4, 2013
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech Head Soccer Coach Tom Stone announced today the addition of Bri Young to the program's coaching staff as a volunteer assistant in advance of the upcoming 2013 season.
Young enters her first season on the Texas Tech staff with a wealth of both coaching and playing experience as a four-year letterwinner at Texas A&M where she earned both NSCAA All-Region and All-Big 12 honors during her decorated collegiate career. Young then went on to serve coaching roles at both Chaparral High School (Colorado) and on three separate staffs within the premier Real Colorado organization.
"We are thrilled about the addition of Bri Young to the Red Raider soccer program," head coach Tom Stone said. "Her experience at all levels as a player gives Bri a great platform as a coach to lead young women. Bri expects a high level of commitment and play every day and I am excited to see her impact on our program."
Young also brings U.S. National Team experience to the Red Raider program as she was a member of both the U-20 and U-23 squads.
"I'm excited for the opportunity to work at Texas Tech," Young said. "The team and coaching staff that Tom Stone has built is something every school should aspire to. They have had an amazing last few seasons, and I can't wait to be a part of it."
During her collegiate career, Young helped guide Texas A&M to a conference championship in 2010 and a Big 12 tournament championship in 2011. The talented center-back was named to the All-Central Region Team by two separate publications while also being named the 2008 Soccer Buzz Central Region Freshman of the Year.
Young was also named to the 2008 Big 12 All-Newcomer Team and the 2008 NSCAA/Adidas All-Central Region Team.
Young joins a Texas Tech program that advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament in 2012, and broke the school record for wins in a single season with 16.

The actress goes from Star Wars to mascara wars as a Christian Dior advert is banned for exaggerating the product's effect.
12:33, UK, Wednesday 24 October 2012
An advert for Christian Dior mascara featuring Natalie Portman has been banned for exaggerating the effect of the product on her lashes.
The magazine advert showed a picture of the Oscar-winning actress with the text: "Lash-multiplying effect volume and care mascara.
"The miracle of a nano brush for an unrivalled lash creator effect. It delivers spectacular volume-multiplying effect, lash by lash."
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) investigated the ad after rival cosmetics firm L'Oréal complained that it misleadingly exaggerated the likely effects of the product.
Dior defended the campaign, saying it had not received any complaints from consumers and believed this meant the advert did not exceed likely expectations of the mascara.
But it admitted Star Wars actress Portman's natural lashes had been digitally retouched in post-production using Photoshop software.
It said the retouching was "primarily used to separate/increase the length and curve of a number of her lashes and to replace/fill a number of missing or damaged lashes".
A "minimal amount" of retouching also took place to increase the thickness and volume of a number of her natural lashes, it said.
The ASA said Dior provided some before and after photos showing a model's natural eyelashes and the effects of the product on her lashes.
But it said it had not seen any evidence of the mascara's effects on Portman's lashes where there had not been any post-production retouching.
It concluded the advert was likely to mislead and ruled it could not appear again in its current form.
Portman, 31, who has dual US and Israeli citizenship, starred in hitman film Léon: The Professional alongside Jean Reno and Gary Oldman when she was a child actress.
She rose to mainstream fame as Padmé Amidala in the Star Wars prequels and also starred in the dystopian thriller V For Vendetta.
In 2011, she won an Oscar and a string of other awards for her role in Black Swan.

Can each user have different UAC level in a PC? Specifically, can an Admin have UAC level set to "never notify" and a User have UAC level set to "always notify" and so on?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Dec 6 '12 at 6:28
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
The UAC level is a machine wide setting. So it cannot be set per-user.
The setting is written in the
I belive, that in the Professional+ version of Windows you can define the setting using gpedit.msc, which should allow different settings per user.
It sounds as if you want to make it so that elevation occurs silently for admin users but standard users can still enter a password to be elevated.
If your edition of Windows supports Group Policy, you can do this. First, use the control panel GUI to restore the "Always Notify" setting.
Using gpedit.msc, go to Local Computer Policy: Computer Configuration: Windows Settings: Security Settings: Local Policies: Security Options.
Set "User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode" to "Elevate without prompting".
It is probably possible to do the same thing via the registry on Windows editions that don't support group policy, but I don't know how to do this.

With Russian troops taking control of the Ukrainian region of Crimea, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is this weekend calling out the behavior of Russia on the matter.
"You just don't invade another country on phony pretexts in order to assert your interests," Kerry told NBC's "Meet the Press" audience.
While the Secretary stated that Russia does have legitimate interests in the predominantly Russian-speaking region of Crimea, Kerry also called the incursion of Russia into the area an "act of aggression."
Following at least a week of threats from the Obama Administration about the matter in the Ukraine, which Kerry said was not a struggle between East and West, the Secretary of State did issue the possible reactions from the U.S. and the West.
It all could lead to isolating Russia on the international stage, visa bans, asset freezes, disruption of normal trade, and the euphemism of nothing being "off the table," Kerry stated.
Russia "may not even remain in the G-8 if this continues," Kerry said in the NBC interview.
The G-8 is the group of industrialized nations which Russia joined after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and ABCnews is reporting this Sunday that the U.S. and U.K. will not participate in the "preparatory meetings for the G-8 summit" which are scheduled to take place in Sochi, Russia, in June.
The U.S.'s decision came after a 90 minute phone conversation between President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday ABC reports.
No 'Eurasia Bloc' now
"There is no Russian Empire without Ukraine."
So says WSJ columnist Bret Stephens in the attached, recent video. Stephens, who visited the Crimean region last September, stated that it would be an area of discontent also because it is a very depressed region. The fact that Russian President Putin also ordered a surprise military exercise for 150,000 troops in the area and elsewhere, despite the tumult in Ukraine, is discussed in the video.
After the Edward Snowden affair, Putin has perhaps learned that the Obama Administration is "all bark, no bite," said Stephens.
Putin wanted to create "a Eurasia Bloc" but Kiev will not allow this, said Stephens. Having been there in Crimea last September, Stephen said it is "a very depressed area."
While U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is on record that the Army must shrink to pre-World War II troop levels and focus on funding counterterrorism operations and cybersecurity programs as a way to thwart emerging rivals such as China, according to the WashingtonTimes online, Stephens believes this may be a reason why Russia thought it a good moment to display its own forces.
