The Lovely Bones
by Alice Sebold
The Lovely Bones Chapter 21 Summary
How It All Goes Down
- After the hospital, Susie watches Ray sleeping, and thinks of the first and only time he kissed her, by her locker at school. She wishes she could kiss him again.
- The next day, Ruth and Ray head for the sinkhole.
- Around the same time, Fenerman is going to the hospital and gives Jack and Abigail Susie's charm.
- He tells them that they've been able to connect Harvey with other murders. Abigail hadn't realized that Harvey actually is Susie's killer.
- She asks Fenerman to leave, and Jack thanks him for the charm.
- Next, Susie watches Mr. Harvey driving.
- He'd forgotten the girls and women he killed, but lately they are all coming back into his mind. Susie wonders when he'll remember her.
- Ray and Ruth watch the sinkhole, and Ruth tells Ray she wonders if Susie's body was dumped here. Susie cheers from heaven at Ruth's correct guess.
- Ruth feels Susie and talks to her.
- Susie can see Mr. Harvey driving on the road toward the Salmon house, and she can see Lindsey inside the house, alone.
- When he's almost there, a cop stops him, and asks him to leave the neighborhood, so he does.
- Ruth and Ray are standing next to Ray's car when Ray goes into some brush to pick flowers for his mom.
- Then, Mr. Harvey is driving toward the sinkhole, remembering that he'd put a dead body there.
- He drives past Ruth. She sees all the women he's killed, and then passes out.
- At the same time, Susie "[falls] to Earth" (21.161).

Schult building on South Main eyed for demolition
The building at 1830 S. Main St., Elkhart, was used to build travel trailers in 1936.
ELKHART — One of the oldest buildings with ties to Elkhart's recreational vehicle legacy may eventually be torn down.
While the move is only preliminary, the city of Elkhart is looking at the possibility of demolishing the old Schult Warehouse at 1830 S. Main St.
On Tuesday, Feb. 18, city officials took a first step when the redevelopment commission approved plans to hire a grant administrator to research the issue and apply for federal funding to help cover the cost of demolition.
The massive three-story gray building includes about 120,000 square feet and is still used as a warehouse, according to Barkley Garrett, director of economic development for the city.
Tax records list Dimension Holdings LLC as the owner and indicate the entity is up to date on tax payments, which total about $6,100 per year, according to Elkhart County records.
Even though the building is still being used, it has numerous broken windows and appears to be in disrepair. Much of the building is enclosed by a chain fence that has barbed wire at the top.
511 Division St. — Plans by the city to demolish the old Federal Press building at 511 Division St., suffered a setback because of an apparent miscommunication in the grant application for federal funding. Barkley Garrett, director of economic development, declined to say exactly what the problem involved, but said the loss of funding for that project could open the door for funding for another — possibly Schult Warehouse.
Lusher and South Main — Recent plans by the city of Elkhart to demolish two attached buildings on the southwest corner of the intersection have slowed. Officials chose to delay the project after learning the land was available from Elkhart County after nobody sought to acquire the property through a tax sale. The city is currently seeking to acquire the land and — if that happens — intends to use revenues from tax increment financing for demolition instead of a more limited pool of money strictly dedicated for demolitions.
City officials have talked with the owner previously and if funding would become available, discussions about acquiring the land and demolishing the building could ensue, Garrett said.
A $3,000 contract with Mendenhall and Associates, a grant administrator from Arcadia, Ind., calls for the company to research the issue and begin applying for federal grant.
The building's history dates back more than 115 years.
Al Hesselbart, considered a historian of the local recreation vehicle industry, said he believes the building was constructed in the late 1800s and first became used as a travel trailer manufacturing facility in 1936 when Wilbur Schult and his father, William, transitioned from a retail business on Jackson Boulevard to a manufacturing operation on South Main, where they changed the name to Schult Trailers in 1936.
After World War II, Schult quit making travel trailers and began manufacturing mobile homes, Hesselbart said.
"It was still a trailer factory, but just slightly bigger trailers," Hesselbart said during a phone interview from his winter home in Florida.
Prior to that era, the building was believed to have been the home of Noyse Carriage Company which made light "vehicles" at the turn of the turn of the century and at one time employed about 150 people, according to an online book called A Standard History of Elkhart County.
Darrin Miller, who owns Schult Warehouse, was snow plowing the driveway behind the building Wednesday afternoon, but declined comment.
The building is north of a vacant lot that is for sale and a new O'Reilly's Auto Parts store, which opened last year.

GAMMA Aircast Armband
List Price: $17.50 Sale Price:
Our staff has not reviewed this product yet.
The Gamma Aircast Armband uses a small aircell that focuses more pressure on the involved muscle and less around the arm. The pressure under the aircell is 50% greater than others under the rest of the bands circumference. The higher concentration means more compression where it is needed, giving the proper refleif while constricting the uninvolved muscles and the flow of blood less. Players looking to relieve their tennis elbow will find that the Gamma Aircast Armband offers superior and comfortable relief without restricting your other muscles.
The Gamma Aircast Armband is one size fits all.

White Sulphur Springs, W. V. a. -- The status of New Orleans Saints cornerback Champ Bailey continues to remain a mystery after his second straight absence at practice.
Bailey was absent from Friday morning's practice after missing Thursday afternoon's walkthrough. He practiced as normal Thursday morning.
When asked about Bailey's status, coach Sean Payton replied: "No status. We don't discuss injuries at training camp. That's nothing new."

To solve a fluff dispute, what do you guys think?
Over on CDO I've been having a discussion about how the CD society works and if they have clans at all. We've basically agreed that it is a theocratic oligarchy. I.e. a highly religious state run by a ruling elite where those that are most religious hold political power, and are traditionally interested in being really wealthy (i.e. the sorcerers/ high priests). So far so good.
We then have 3 opposing views:
1. There are no clans or guilds. The Sorcerers own everything, and all CD are split between who 'owns' them. There are few personal possessions, everything is focused on generating wealth for the leaders and glory of hashut. They don't pay their soldiers, they don't buy war machines or weapons for campaigns (the CD make them at their own expense of time and labour), they own everything so don't need to tax. They just rule with absolute and unquestionable power. There are few (if any) social classes other than the workers and the ruling elite. No point in 99% of CD being greedy as chances are it goes to build temples or the hordes of hashut's chosen (sorcerers). Heavy communist overtones.
2. They operate very similar to dwarfs, with clans and craftguilds. The sorcerers generate income from substantial taxes on trading activities (e.g. a VAT rate of 30% etc), but otherwise leave the clans under their influence to generate wealth as they see fit. They buy war machines/ weapons/ armour for campaigns, and compensate warriors for time away from normal work. The sorcerer class rule in all political decisions, but not with absolute power (i.e. generals and loremasters would have a political voice). The sorcerers are not always the richest CD within the clans under their influence (the richer chaos dwarfs pay more in taxes so greed at all levels of society is encouraged). Potentially heavy fascist overtones.
3. They basically have a feudal esque system, whereby CD are born into a class within society and only the sorcerers can move up. The CD clans work for their feudal masters, again with little sense of self possessions (the 'church of hashut' owns everything, and people just buy/ rent) from it. The CD have masters (the sorcerers), who have masters (the high sorcerers) etc. Then an old guy at the top, but not a king or supreme leader. Just the most powerful and venerable sorcerer/ high priest. Basically the ruling elite of sorcerers, priests and any other nobilitty classes are traditionally uber rich and everyone else is traditionally poor (with no choice to be greedy). A variant form of theocratic oligarchic feudal system.
Or for those who don't really care on the specifics, a simple yes or no to the clans question would be handy

For this installation you'll need a panel removal tool, 3/16 Allen key, a pick or an awl, razorblade, flashlight. If you have to modify your seat frame, you'll need a drill and a 5/16 drill bit and safety glasses. We have the seat out of the car to make it easier for you to see the installation. While it's easier to have them out, you actually can do it inside the car if you don't feel like removing your seat.
The first step is going to be to remove the seatback. The seatback is held on by door panel stock clips. Simply pop them up with your panel removal tool. Carefully work your way around the outside edge. We'll put that aside. This is a bracket for the headrest. We removed the hog rings from the top of our upholstery so you can get a better view of actually what we're doing. You don't have to do this for installation. This would make it easier for you to see. The bracket is going to slide in. You're going to put bolts from these two holes to hold the bracket in place. These holes are already open in the upholstery.
This is where the two of your top clips go for your seatback. On some seats provided hardware may not fit through the hole properly. If that's the case, you want to grab a 5/16 drill bit and open up the holes. We can install the brackets and install the hardware. We'll install the nut on the back and tighten them down. Now you want to grab an awl or a pick. I'm going to go straight up through the bracket to where it's installed and go straight up through these holes and poke holes through your seat foam and your seat upholstery. Now you want to find the holes and have a sharp knife and make an "X."
I'm going to cut a little bit smaller the first time. You can always open it up a little bit if you have to. If you cut too much off it's not going to look great. There's two different plastic inserts that come with each side. One has this little release which will allow you to adjust the height. We're going to install that one first. I'm going to make sure this lever is facing towards the inside of the car and the metal tab is at the bottom so the seat will release properly. I find it's best to use something like use your awl or another tool, come up from the bottom to line the hole up. Widen that over and then work it down into place. We're going to be going through some foam and the material you cut out that can take a little bit of work sometimes to get it into place. Before we put the seatback back on, we're going to install the headrest, make sure it works properly and clears back there and move it up and down, straight up and down or ratchet it. We're ready to reinstall our seatback. Line up all these original holes and push the clips back in.
The headrests do a great job with finishing off our Sport seat. The adjustability should make them comfortable for everybody, plus the added security is also nice as well. Installation will take you around an hour per seat. You'll be back on the road in no time.

I would like to find a way to allow multiple computers to securely join a shared network. Ideally we would like to find a complete hosted solution, or run a server on Rackspace or Amazon EC2. I have attempted to install Openswan and xl2tpd on a server. It appears that I need to have an internal network that I can assign IP address from though. I don't have any cloud services that I need the clients to connect to, they only need to communicate with each other. In addition we will need to support Linux, iPhone, and Android clients. Does anyone have suggestions of hosting solutions, or on-line guides that would accomplish something similar to this?
As an added bonus it would be nice to have DNS resolution work between the connected clients.

Producer prices in December 2006
January 18, 2007
The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods increased 0.9 percent in December, seasonally adjusted. This rise followed a 2.0-percent advance in November and a 1.6-percent decline in October.
The index for finished energy goods rose 2.5 percent in December following a 6.1-percent jump in the prior month. Leading this deceleration, gasoline prices increased 7.1 percent after surging 17.9 percent in November.
The index for finished goods other than foods and energy advanced 0.2 percent in December following a 1.3-percent jump in the preceding month. The index for finished consumer foods increased 1.7 percent in December after inching up 0.1 percent in the previous month.
From December 2005 to December 2006, prices for finished goods advanced 1.1 percent, as shown in the chart. This followed a 5.4-percent rise in 2005.
This slower rate of advance in 2006 is attributable to the index for finished energy goods, which fell 2.0 percent in 2006 after climbing 23.9 percent a year earlier. By contrast, prices for finished goods other than foods and energy moved up 2.0 percent in 2006 following a 1.4-percent gain in 2005, and the index for finished consumer foods rose slightly more than it had a year earlier.
These data are from the BLS Producer Price Index program. To learn more, see "Producer Price Indexes — December 2006," news release USDL 07-0073. All producer price indexes are routinely subject to revision once, 4 months after original publication, to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents.

Managing requests, referrals and assessments with a Multi-Agency Approach
IEG4′s Semitae product enables you to:
- Provide service requests, referrals and assessments/surveys online
- Design your own online services without any coding that are optimised for use on any device
- Automatically create cases with the data received from the above online forms
- Assign cases to support organisations/service providers
- Secure access to these cases through their own login details set up in the core case management app
- Enable users with login credentials to take cases out into the field using a smartphone/tablet etc.
- Monitor and Report upon cases to establish progression metrics and forecast future trends
By providing an intelligent and editable electronic form point as the entry for citizens to be referred, or services requested, the following benefits are realised:
- Access 24/7 – 365 days a year on any device
- No rekeying of any data from the referral/request
- Details can be changed subsequently if found to have changed/be incorrect without a new form required
- Errors are reduced massively due to inbuilt logic that guides the user
- The online form intelligently identifies all services/help/support etc that the person might need in one single process so that the user only needs to complete one form to request multiple services. Resulting in a better customer journey and more transactions in the digital channel.
- The services/help/support elements that should be identified based upon question responses can be changed by non-technical staff should things change. Ensuring that as the business changes the software does so too.
Unlike legacy applications, Semitae has been created using the best technologies available and in partnership with public sector specialists have created pre-boxed solutions for Supporting People, Troubled Families, Early Year Interventions, Housing Association – Request a Repair.
There are still a huge swathe of activities done across the public and private sector where staff need to take paper files/documents into the field in order to carry out their job effectively.
There an array of issues with but most pressing are:
- The need to scan updated paper documents and/or rekey the data collected into other applications
- The lack of security of the data
- The inherent additional work required should the data need to be accessible by multiple parties when these documents are completed/cases updated
- The need to order new paper equivalents at further costs whenever policy/legislation/working practice changes mandate change to paper documents.
As such with the Casenot.es for Semitae companion app, we make it possible for case data to be taken out into the field without the need for files resulting in:
- Data captured in the field automatically updating the case management application
- Secure encrypted passing of data
- Automatic sharing of data between those persons/organisations that have permission to view the changes
And, importantly, the functionality within the app is dictated by the online form builder and the case management app's configuration. So if changes are required to the forms/data collected in the case management app, these can be made instantly and the mobile app is updated instantly to reflect these. The following illustrates that each element of the Semitae solution works in harmony with the other to ensure that the mobile app experience on any device can be great:
We never looked to simply provide a mobile app that did a specific job. We made Casesnot.es for Semitae, which adopts the dynamic behaviour of the case managmeent app and online forms, so as to constantly evolve. A critical function in the journey for optmisation of process.
Stockport Video Case Study
Semitae Software
Visualising the Solution
Here you can find screenshots of the Semitae solution.
It starts with an online form, which whilst shown on a pc below, will also work amazingly on mobiles and tablets. Essentially, the online form in this instance allows a citizen to select the circumstances most appropriate to them as a starting point. These 'tiles' are linked to online form pages, which are presented based upon their circumstances and how the organisation wants it to work. I.e. new pages can be added, questions changed without the need for technical expertise.
The beauty of this is that the online form's questions and assessment steps are then tailored directly to the circumstances of the citizen. With the following showing some pages for a person wishing to feel useful in their life and get a job:
And even the pages are dynamic so all relevant questions appear based upon earlier responses:
When these are received by the commissioning organisation, these are instantly available with all detail accessible i.e. no rekeying of referral information. The cases are available from the home screen of the Semitae application, as shown here:
If one clicks upon a case it is possible to see the detail of what the current issue is or what the person needs help with. In this case the person requires help with finding a job to help make better use of their time. This could equally be that they want to report a problem like a pothole in the road etc. – the uses of Semitae are endless:
All documentaton associated with a case can be uploaded to ensure that there is no need for a separate document area. Everything is in one place to ensure nothing slips through the net and one can tag documents against people/help needed/tasks etc.
There is now also the means to add indicators for any purpose along side icons that may be important 'flags' for users to see straight away. These are not harcoded options but completely open source for users to add as many as required for any purpose:
The system can also logs all contacts made with citizens and this is done with an intuitive and clear interface shown here:
With the Timeline providing a log/audit of all actions and interactions:
If a plan of action is required this can be set up within Semitae. The steps required to complete an outcome and indeed the organisation/person assigned to do this can be added to. Again these are all changeable by the organisation managing the service and so very flexible:
Because this case has been assigned to a Housing Agency, they can then login to their own secure portal to view their cases assigned as shown here:
One can see that they are restricted to viewing and updating cases as opposed to the normally large menu of the left facilitating the changing of settings etc. Should this organisation then want to go out into the field with the details of their cases, they can login into the Casenot.es app on their device of choice. The following shows the above case when accessed in Casenot.es for Semitae on an iPad:
With drop downs set up in the Case Management app immediately available on the Casenot.es app too!
Example of settings
One can see here how simple it is for one to link Support Needs to Outcomes within the system, which is indicative of the simplicity found throughout the application:
And linking scenarios on the online form to assessment pages and needs:
Because it is possible to add support needs for any reason and associate these with any online form question and the resulting linked outcome(s) desired it is possible to set up a semitae instance to manage requests for assistance for any purpose.

Jan. 24, 2007
UCLA and Pepperdine battled five games Wednesday night with the visiting Waves prevailing after climbing back from a 2-1 deficit.
The Waves won 21-30, 30-26, 33-35, 30-27, 16-14 in two hours and 34 minutes in front of 648 rowdy fans. The victory raised Pepperdine's record to 4-1 overall, 3-1 in MPSF play. The Bruins fell to 3-5, 1-4.
In Game 3, the Bruins rallied from a 26-29 deficit to tie the score at 29-29 after a kill by redshirt freshman Brett Perrine and a pair of blocks by sophomore Jamie Diefenbach and senior Paul George. The Bruins let two game points slip by and the Waves lost one before UCLA won the game on a pair of kills by freshman Garrett Muagututia.
That was the last game the Bruins would win, despite having opportunities to win the match.
With the Bruins leading 24-21 in Game 4, the Waves scored three points to force a timeout from their hosts. A block by Greg Gaudino and Jon Grobe and a kill by Grobe gave the Waves a two-point cushion and forced another UCLA timeout. The Bruins scored a pair of points and Pepperdine called time at 27-26. Following that break, the Waves outscored the Bruins 3-1 to even the score.
In Game 5, Pepperdine sophomore Paul Carroll connected on eight kills in 13 swings to provide the difference for the Waves, who trailed only once. Trailing 12-8, the Bruins called their final timeout and went on a 6-1 run to take a 14-13 lead following a thunderous block by Muagututia and senior Steve Klosterman. But Pepperdine wrapped up its fourth conference victory with three straight kills, two by Carroll, who ended the night with 37.
Muagututia and Diefenbach each recorded 22 kills and 25 points. For Diefenbach it was a career high; for Muagututia it matched his. Paul George added 15 kills, 15 digs and seven block assists for 18.5 points. Klosterman recorded 10 kills, three aces and five block assists.
In addition to Carroll's 37 kills for Pepperdine, senior John Parfitt added 17, followed by 12 from Gaudino and 10 from Grobe.
On Saturday UCLA hosts USC in the 30th Annual Kilgour Cup. First serve is set for 7 p.m. in Pauley Pavilion.

Bellbrook is gearing up for their 36th Annual Sugar Maple Festival the weekend of April 25-27, 2014, kicking off at 6:30 p.m. This years' theme is fittingly named "Flower Power"- Celebrating the 60's, just as spring peeks its wonders around the corner. It will be a weekend full of fun with great music, a celebratory parade, delicious food and so much more, rain or shine.
"With it [the festival] being pushed back a month due to the Easter holiday, I am hoping bad weather will not be an issue," Christy Phillips, chairperson of the festival said. "We are due for a weekend of sun and warm temperatures." Even though attendance hasn't really been affected by the weather in the past, the festival committee is expecting between 15-20,000 attendees.
From year to year, the festival welcomes back the favorites but is also excited to introduce new comers. This year, a new band will kick off the festival. "The Rejects" will rock the Bellbrook Park with the family friendly rendition of rock & roll favorites that will have attendees signing along and possibly even dancing in the park. The Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Park District Community Center will be the rain location for the concert.
"This year, we moved the kettle corn vendor out of the park and onto the street with the other food vendors," Phillips said. "It was really difficult for the park to get their lawn fixed after the heavy equipment. Other than that, there will be no other big changes."
On Friday, Main St. will be closed beginning at 10 a.m. and Franklin St. will close at 5 p.m. The festival will begin with a dog show behind the Sugarcreek Elementary School followed by a night of music by "The Rejects" at 8 p.m. Grab some dinner on the way at one of the many food vendors along the way.
Saturday, the day begins with the traditional 5k race and pancake breakfast at Bellbrook United Methodist Church beginning at 8 a.m. followed by the community parade that flows down Main Street demonstrating the pride of Sugarcreek and Bellbrook, featuring Talon, the new Bellbrook High School mascot.
Throughout the entire festival and remainder of the weekend, free children activities, vendors, food and free music will stretch through downtown. Of course, the best part of the festival is the never ending supply of maple syrup for purchase at the Old Sugar House by Bline Farms, out of Springfield. Bline Farms is a seasonal family business based on a lost tradition dating back to the Native Americans. To prepare for the weekend's events, Bline Farms taps into 100 to 400 maple trees beginning Valentine's Day. They will also tap into a maple tree during the festival to show the children the art of maple syrup.
Another exciting event includes the Citizen of the Year Award. The 2014 Sugar Maple Citizen of the Year award will be awarded to Keith McKeever. He is the former varsity basketball and baseball athlete and 1979 Bellbrook High school graduate. He is deeply involved in youth sports programs in Bellbrook and raised over $10,000 in scholarships for cheerleaders.
A free shuttle bus runs Saturday through Sunday from Bellcreek Intermediate School on Upper Bellbrook Rd. and drops visitors off at the Bellbrook Park, in the center of the action.
The festival committee begins meeting and planning for this weekend in September. A lot of hard work and planning from dedicated volunteers goes into putting on this weekend filled affair. For more information and a complete festival schedule of events, visit the website at sugarmaplefestival.com or call (877) 522-5995 ext. 5.

Lunar Eclipse's Totality
Lunar Eclipse's Totality
This year promises two total eclipses of the moon – the first visible in parts of the United States in more than three years – beginning on Thursday night, May 15th.
|An early summer and late autumn lunar eclipse on tap

Total eclipses of the moon occur when the moon passes through the circular shadow that the Earth casts into space and is fully shaded from direct sunlight.
Although masked by the Earth completely or partially from the Sun for as much as an hour and a half, scattering of sunlight off the limbs of our atmosphere doesn't leave the moon without illumination. Instead the blood-bright color of long-wavelength red light enshrouds the moon's otherwise familiar grey pallor.
A small scallop of darkness will begin to appear on the moon's left edge at 10:03 p.m. ET. The moon will take 3 hours and 14 minutes to pass completely through the umbra, and just less than one-third of that time it will be entirely immersed in shadow. The total phase of the eclipse will last 53 minutes beginning at 11:14 p.m. ET. The moon will pass entirely out of Earth's umbra at 1:17 a.m. ET May 16, and the last evidence of the penumbra should vanish at or around 1:34 a.m. ET.
The next lunar eclipse will be on a Saturday evening, November 8-9, this year, when the moon's face will again turn an eerie, coppery color. The hue is produced by sunlight filtered, reddened and scattered by the rim of the Earth's atmosphere. Because of changes in terrestrial dust in the atmosphere, each lunar eclipse is unique in appearance.
The Moon is believed to play an important role in Earth's habitability . Because the Moon helps stabilize the tilt of the Earth's rotation, it prevents the Earth from wobbling between climatic extremes. Without the Moon, seasonal shifts would likely outpace even the most adaptable forms of life.
In addition, because our moon is lifeless, it is one of the most appealing places to look for the preserved records of life elsewhere. At least according to recent estimates for the amount of ejected rocks that might survive there, the Moon may hold clues from the early history of Mars, Venus and Earth.

Training Opportunities
Mission and Values of the Counseling Center
In support of the University of Kentucky's mission, The Counseling Center provides academic, career, and personal counseling, outreach programs, consultation, training and community service to help all students succeed academically, develop and make progress toward life goals, and be productive members of the University and society.
The Counseling Center is grounded in the concern for the student learner as a unique, whole person. Psychological and interpersonal skills enhancement occur not only in the counseling sessions themselves but also in the academic, social, cultural, and recreational environments that encompass the campus community. The UKCC recognizes the value of collaboration with members of the university community in order to achieve our goals and to help these services and members achieve their goals.
Some of our core values include:
- Personal integrity and ethical decision-making
- Personal growth and development
- Academic excellence and freedom
- Appreciation of diversity
- A sense of community
- Development of independence and maturity
- A healthy, balanced, and satisfying lifestyle
- Mutually respectful interpersonal relationships
- Enhancement of healthy coping skills, resilience, and effective decision-making
- Acceptance of responsibility for behaviors
- Management of stress and anxiety
- Enhancement of self-esteem and self-confidence
- Achievement of academic, career, and life goals
- Reduction of social stigma surrounding use of counseling services and mental health support
Diversity Statement
University of Kentucky Counseling Center: Consultation and Psychological Services strives to embrace the diversity found in all its forms in our campus community. Each staff member is committed to providing assistance that is culturally-sensitive and affirming to our diverse clientele, which includes students of color, international students, sexual/gender-minority (LGBTQ) students, veterans, students with disabilities, and students from all socioeconomic backgrounds, of all ages, and with varying religious/spiritual beliefs. We take a stance against discrimination and oppression in any form, and to this end, we strive to create an atmosphere of openness, trust, and safety where all attitudes, beliefs, values, and behaviors can be openly shared and explored.
Training Philosophy and Model
The Training Program utilizes an Experiential-Developmental-Apprenticeship model and philosophy congruent with the overall mission and values of the Counseling Center. This model views the doctoral intern as an emerging professional seeking to integrate knowledge, skills, and experiential training in their journey from student to new professional psychologist. The internship builds on the experiences the trainee brings from her or his previous graduate coursework, practica, research and other professional applied experiences. The Center's goal is for the internship to provide a training experience that facilitates the intern's consolidation of professional identity and emergence as a culturally sensitive, clinically skilled, and ethically grounded psychologist. The model focuses on the developmental nature of intern growth, the importance of mentoring, emphasis on experiential learning, and the integration of scholarly work into practice. An essential component of the UKCC philosophy of training is to prepare the interns to integrate scholarly knowledge, research findings, and critical thinking into clinical practice and decision-making. We encourage the consumption of scholarly research as well as consultation with supervisors and peers during internship and while moving toward independent licensure.

Abiotic Stresses
A. Bray
Julia Bailey-Serres
Elizabeth Weretilnyk
Plants frequently encounter stresses,
external conditions that adversely affect growth,
development, or productivity. Stresses can be
biotic, imposed by other organisms (Chapter
21), or abiotic, arising from an excess
or deficit in the physical or chemical environment.
Among the environmental conditions that cause
damage are water-logging, drought, high or low
temperatures, excessive soil salinity, inadequate
mineral nutrients in the soil, and too much or
too little light. Phytotoxic compounds such as
ozone also can damage plant tissues. Resistance
or sensitivity to the stress depends on the species,
the genotype, and the developmental age of the
Stresses trigger
a wide range of plant responses, from altered
gene expression and cellular metabolism to changes
in growth rates and crop yields. The duration,
severity, and rate at which a stress is imposed
all influence how a plant responds. Several adverse
conditions in combination may elicit a response
different from that for a single type of stress.
Features of the plant, including organ or tissue
identity, developmental age, and genotype, also
influence plant responses to stress (Fig. 22.1).
A response may be triggered directly by a stress,
such as drought, or may result from a stress-induced
injury, such as loss of membrane integrity. Some
responses clearly enable a plant to acclimate
to stress, whereas the functional role of others
is not apparent. Therefore, identifying which
responses promote or maintain plant growth and
development during stress is important for understanding
the stress response process.

A veteran in terms of age, Andriy Dykan is nevertheless a novice at international level, having not made his debut for Ukraine until June 2010. Now a prominent figure in Russia with FC Spartak Moskva, he seemed set to rival Olexandr Shovkovskiy for the position of Ukraine goalkeeper at UEFA EURO 2012 until he suffered a serious head injury two months before the tournament.
• Born in Kharkiv, he had a low-key start to his career in the Ukrainian lower leagues before joining Russian second-tier outfit SKA-Energiya Khabarovsk in 1999.
• Spent five seasons with the club, during which he was accorded Russian citizenship, and performed sufficiently well to earn a transfer to top-flight FC Kuban Krasnodar in 2004.
• Relegated in his first season with Kuban, in which he made 13 league appearances, and spent the next campaign back in the second tier with the club before they earned promotion; midway through 2007, having lost his place, he joined Ukraine's SC Tavriya Simferopol.
• After two years in the Crimea he moved back to the Russian Premier-Liga and FC Terek Grozny, where his career belatedly took off in earnest, earning him an international debut for Ukraine a few weeks short of his 33rd birthday and, two months later, a transfer to Spartak.
• An ever-present in Spartak's European campaign of 2010/11, starting six games in the UEFA Champions League and six in the UEFA Europa League, he was the club's No1 on the domestic front throughout 2011.
• Was concussed and suffered numerous facial fractures in a collision with FC Zenit St Petersburg forward Aleksandr Kerzhakov during a league game in March 2012.

Four candidates bring different but relatively important law practice experiences in competition for the Walworth County circuit court branch 4 bench currently occupied by Michael S. Gibbs:
Mark Bromley specializes in business bankruptcy serving fifteen years on the investigative committee for the Office of Lawyer Regulation. He is also a Walworth County board supervisor and chairs the Administrative Council of the La Grange United Methodist Church. Bromley claims that he is uniquely qualified to discern complex evidence involving gang activities, drug dealing, and white collar embezzlement schemes. He states that the courts need to prevent re-victimization of sex crime victims during criminal proceedings against sex offenders. While supporting tough justice, Bromely seeks to reduce jail time through treatment and education programs. "These programs reduce the likelihood of future offenses, save taxpayer dollars, and does so at a fraction of the cost of incarceration."
David Danz says 30 years of experience in criminal, family/juvenile and civil courtrooms enables him to work effectively as a judge to protect the public. Danz takes a 'no tolerance' approach to crime. "Those who cannot conform to the standards of a civilized society must be separated from the rest of us." Sex offenders, likewise, must be assessed and penalized according to the magnitude of the offense and under continual surveillance. Danz advocates a program dubbed "Alternatives to Incarceration" used by Kenosha and Racine counties to reduce crowding in jails.
Scott Letteney hails as a municipal judge for the Town of Geneva for 11 years, a criminal defense attorney for 22 years, and an active-duty and reserve Air Force judge advocate for 21 years. "I've heard more than 20,000 cases as a judge," says Letteney. He supports deployment of the latest technologies to keep courts cost effective. While work release programs don't seem to work, according to Letteney, other programs used in other counties such as drug and veteran courts can enhance rehabilitation and reduce recidivism. Letteney's support of offender education is nevertheless tempered by a stern look at crime. "Those who are convicted should receive the harshest possible sentence to ensure they are punished, that further crime is deterred, and society is protected."
David Reddy, Walworth County Court Commissioner, promises positive changes through community service and the prompt scheduling of court cases. He responds to the three issues facing the judicial system -- self-represented litigants, alcohol and drug abuse, and jail overcrowding -- by educating the public and identifying programs that work. "A practical solution to reduce the jail population while staying tough on crime is to establish a drug court where jail inmates are screened and given alternatives to incarceration through treatment sessions."
The primary election is scheduled for Tuesday, February 16, from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Utah Utes basketball: Coach Larry Krystkowiak will rely on the Returnin' Utes during transition
Tom Smart, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — David Foster, Chris Hines, Jason Washburn and Josh Watkins made quite an initial impression on new University of Utah basketball coach Larry Krystkowiak.
They stood out, Krystkowiak noted, in the first team meeting he held after being hired to replace Jim Boylen.
"You could kind of look around the room and you saw a look in those four guys, in particular," Krystkowiak said. "I just remember they were engaged and ready to go."
And stay, for that matter — the lone holdovers from last season.
Krystkowiak considers them the "cornerstones of what we're trying to build and get rolling here" as the Utes enter their inaugural Pac-12 campaign.
Foster, a 7-foot-3 center, and Watkins, a 5-foot-11 point guard, are returning starters and the only seniors in the program. Hines, a 6-foot guard, and Washburn, a 6-foot-10 pivot man, are juniors who made valuable contributions off the bench and were part-time starters in 2010-11.
The four players combined for a significant percentage of Utah's statistical output last season — teaming for 82.5 percent of the blocked shots, 52 percent of the assists, 43.3 percent of the steals, 42 percent of the points and 36.3 percent of the rebounds.
It's a solid foundation to build upon after a massive revamping of the roster.
"Some of those players broke up with us and some of those players we broke up with them," Krystkowiak said. "In any relationship, it's just about moving on and hopefully finding something that's a better fit."
While noting there's a number of different stories involving player departures, Krystkowiak is fine with out things have turned out. There's something to be said about starting fresh and knowing who is in your corner, especially for a self-described "big, fox-hole guy."
Krystkowiak acknowledges he didn't expect the program to lose that many guys when he took over. However, on the flip side, it allowed the new coaching staff to find some players they really like to take on the challenges ahead.
Regardless of the roster, Krystkowiak said the slate has pretty much been wiped clean and everyone is starting over.
That includes Foster, Hines, Washburn and Watkins.
"Even though they are returning, it's still quite a bit new to them," Krystkowiak said. "So it's kind of a new era and we're ready to get going."
Although the team has had limited workouts since Krystkowiak's arrival last spring, practice begins in earnest later this week as the meshing of the four returnees and nine newcomers continue.
"We've got guys who want to work and I think we've got guys that want to buy in and just play ball," Washburn said. "I think that's what it's going to take to compete in the Pac-12. It's a tough conference. We're going to have to play our hearts out and we're going to have to compete to be up there."
Leading the charge, he continued, will be "The Four Horsemen." Washburn said that's what Krystkowiak called them when it became apparent who would be coming back.
"We're trying to be leaders," Washburn said. "But we're trying not to overstep our bounds too much."
It's a partnership, after all.
"Our success is going to have to come collectively," Krystkowiak said. "Obviously you've got certain players that may be counted on to do a little bit more, but we just can't get it done if we don't think about all being on the same page and trying to do it as a team."
The tradition surrounding the program, he continued, is bigger than any one individual.
It's an approach the players, especially the returnees, are working hard to embrace.

Jersey Shore star JWoww visited Gold Coast Bank in Huntington Monday to support breast cancer awareness and unveil a banner to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month. JWoww, whose real name is Jenni Farley, was joined by several breast cancer activists and Huntington Town Supervisor Frank Petrone.
The 25-year-old Franklin Square native, who arrived in a pink stretch Mini Cooper limo equipped with a jacuzzi, spoke about the cause.
"As a Long Island native, I'm concerned about the high rates of breast cancer [on Long Island]," said Farley. "This is clearly a disease that can affect women of all ages."
The tone shifted as Farley got defensive when a reporter questioned her status as a breast cancer awareness advocate.
"Its insulting to me to hear that because I smoke or I had a breast augmentation that I shouldn't be here. Everyone should be here," she said.
The bank announced that throughout the month of October, all profits from their ATM fees will be donated to charities benefiting breast cancer.

Lottie Dexter writes for The Sun
We really hope that this is the start of a promising trend. But we should not get carried away as the numbers are still dangerously high.
Youth unemployment is below one million for the second month running, but 963,000 young people remain locked out of the job market.
The government must pay special attention to the 894,000 people who have been out of work for more than one year, and 443,000 who have been jobless for more than two years. The odds are stacked against them. And their situation harms their families, communities and the country as a whole.
It is devastating that so many people have been out of work for so long. It means they are likely to be worse off for the rest of their lives. All political parties need to be more focused on this crucial issue.
We must make it easier for employers to hire unemployed youngsters, and give them a first shot.

Medina Police Chief Patrick Berarducci wants a suspected drug house on Bronson Street to be boarded up and its residents evicted.
Berarducci announced Tuesday plans to begin court proceedings to label the home at 416 Bronson St. a "nuisance" and "habitual resort" for felonious crime.
"This house has been a significant problem for some time," Berarducci said. "It's my personal belief that it affects the quality of life in that neighborhood."
The most recent incident came Friday, when police executed a search warrant at the home after a woman reported that 25-year-old Trent Turner, of Cleveland, held a knife to her throat. Police found several knives at the home.
Turner was not at the home, but police arrested him on a warrant Sunday during a traffic stop and reported finding crack cocaine in his pockets.
Turner was charged with kidnapping, a second-degree felony punishable by up to eight years in prison.
Police said four people were at the home when they arrived with the search warrant and one had just left.
All five have criminal records, Berarducci said, and some had warrants out for their arrests.
According to police, the five people were:
• Tony D. Franklin, 31, who was arrested on a warrant out of Strongsville. Medina police also charged Franklin with possessing marijuana paraphernalia and drug abuse, which are misdemeanors.
• Shana (Frazier) Silvaggio, 40, who had a warrant out of Parma, but was not arrested because the charge was a misdemeanor. Silvaggio spent six months in jail in 2012 for passing bad checks.
• Curtis Debose, 33, who police said had just left the house. He has an active warrant for his arrest on drug-trafficking charges. Debose has been in and out of prison since 2007 on charges of heroin and crack cocaine trafficking.
• David L. Reed, 53, the homeowner, who was not arrested. According to court records, Reed has been in and out of prison since 1998 on charges of theft, forgery, receiving stolen property, failing to register as a sex offender, several charges of cocaine possession and trafficking in cocaine and crack cocaine.
• Christopher Bates, 28, who also was not arrested. Bates has been in and out of prison since 2011 on charges of domestic violence and heroin trafficking.
Berarducci said there have been many 911 calls about the house's residents and visitors since 2006.
"There's a whole generation of police officers who've gotten to know these people very well," the chief said. "It's frustrating for us and for the community. When we convict these people, we need to get them out of our community."
Berarducci said part of the problem is the trend toward treating drug addicts rather than just jailing them.
The chief said he understands that reasoning, but said it leaves police with few options.
"Unless we can take more in the jail, it's just a constant revolving door," he said, "and we're trying everything we can to make it safe."

I'm trying to do a simple genomic track intersection in R, and running into major performance problems, probably related to my use of for loops.
In this situation, I have pre-defined windows at intervals of 100bp and I'm trying to calculate how much of each window is covered by the annotations in mylist. Graphically, it looks something like this:
0 100 200 300 400 500 600
windows: |-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|
mylist: |-| |-----------|
So I wrote some code to do just that, but it's fairly slow and has become a bottleneck in my code:
##window for each 100-bp segment
windows <- numeric(6)
##second track
mylist = vector("list")
mylist[[1]] = c(1,20)
mylist[[2]] = c(120,320)
##do the intersection
for(i in 1:length(mylist)){
st <- floor(mylist[[i]][1]/100)+1
sp <- floor(mylist[[i]][2]/100)+1
for(j in st:sp){
b <- max((j-1)*100, mylist[[i]][1])
e <- min(j*100, mylist[[i]][2])
windows[j] <- windows[j] + e - b + 1
[1] 20 81 101 21 0 0
Naturally, this is being used on data sets that are much larger than the example I provide here. Through some profiling, I can see that the bottleneck is in the for loops, but my clumsy attempt to vectorize it using *apply functions resulted in code that runs an order of magnitude more slowly.
I suppose I could write something in C, but I'd like to avoid that if possible. Can anyone suggest another approach that will speed this calculation up?

Radio France Pulls the Plug on Jazz
American Jazz fans might be surprised at how much the art form relies upon support from Europe for its continued health. Many musicians would struggle financially without the decent paydays from European festivals and concerts. (For an economic comparison between U.S. and Europe gigs, see Frřy Aagre sobering jazz diary, a recent and continuing feature in these pages.)
It is no coincidence that Jazz receives media attention in many of these countries far beyond what one finds in its land of origin. Check out how many YouTube jazz videos come from European television broadcasts. When is the last time you saw a major jazz artist on U.S. network TV?
But now we see the same dumbing down of coverage and marginalization of jazz in European media that long ago afflicted the American music scene. Tim Wilkins reports on a shocking move by Radio France to fire the four hosts who have provided most of its jazz coverage in recent decades. Read below for more details.
Those who wish to express their support for the Radio France jazz hosts are encouraged to sign the petition at www.martinepalme.com or send an email with the subject line "petition france musique" to Martine at email@example.com. T.G.
Jazz fans in France have been dealt a harsh blow. Four Radio France jazz hosts - Philippe Carles, Claude Carriere, Jean Delmas and Alain Gerber - were abruptly fired by the state broadcasting company. Together, they have produced the bulk of the network's jazz broadcasts since the seventies, thousands of hours of programs.
Why were they fired? Not because of the quality or popularity of their programs, which are high, but because of their ages: all four are older than 65. No comment yet as to whether jazz programs will continue on the network, only that Radio France wants to "be younger," according to chief executive Jean-Paul Cluzel. The announcement comes on the heels of the BBC's controversial decision to shake up its jazz programming last year.
Mind you, these four are no Moldy Figs. All have been tireless advocates for all varieties of jazz in many venues. In addition to his late-night show, "Jazz Against the Current." Philippe Carles (pictured left) is the author of a respected jazz encyclopedia and editor-in-chief of France's Jazz Magazine. Carriere, a pianist, author and record producer, has received many awards and with Delmas has broadcast live from jazz clubs across Europe every Friday night since 1982.
Their show captured classic live moments with Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, and Kenny Barron among others, and introduced young artists such as Brad Mehldau and James Carter. Gerber's show presents classic jazz in a narrative form, which reflects his own background as a prizewinning novelist.
In contrast to the BBC, Radio France has made its jazz programs available to listeners around the world via streaming audio on the Internet.
The first the four heard of this "age limit" was via registered mail two weeks ago, which announced their forced retirements. No mention had ever been made of it in their contracts. This is ironic, given that France's government currently encourages seniors to postpone retirement and extend their working lives.
So, should there be an expiration date on jazz? Or on the lifetime one spends gaining an appreciation of it? To be sure, jazz has never been a ticket to full employment. Critics, even in France, have no right to expect this, especially when so many master musicians struggle to make ends meet. And jazz never needs critics who consider their own opinions more important than the music.
But all four of these - Carles, Carriere, Delmas and Gerber - are public intellectuals any nation should be proud of, and France is fortunate to have had national institutions like Radio France that until now have supported jazz as a cultural treasure. It would be a shame to see this support become a thing of the past.
While the network's decision to remove the four appears irreversible, blogger Martine Palmé has created an online petition to urge Radio France to continue its commitment to jazz programs. Anyone who wishes to add their name to this petition can visit www.martinepalme.com or send an email with the subject line "petition france musique" to Martine at email@example.com.

I had the opportunity and pleasure to meet Claude Carriere and listen to some of his recodings. I know he is a true fan and performer of Jazz. I live and grew-up in New Orleans where Jazz was played in our home. We appreciate the fame that is has in Europe and especially Paris. We still hear stories on Sidney Bechet, whose nephew was my childhood friend, and how cherished he was as a musician in France. I am so sorry to hear about Claude and his coworkers. How can you pull the plug on men who cherished the art of music the way they do. It is a crime! Wiletta Ferdinand

I was looking for my preferred jazz program ''jazz a contre-courante'' and.. I cannot believe this!! Now that jazz is coming back...the 18-25 year olds are back at the jam sessions...Radio France decide that those with the finest taste, longer personal memories of the jazz history and knowledge enough to be well opinionated have to go!!! A lost for the younger generations... A shame for radio France

The newly formed Palo Duro Creek Restoration Association will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Cole Community Center in Canyon.
The association's goal is to create a plan to develop ecologically sound and aesthetic wetlands, enhance wildlife and fishing and improve drainage of Palo Duro Creek, association organizer Dale Buckner said.
Buckner, who lives in the Hunsley Hills neighborhood near the creek, said he and several nearby homeowners are concerned about deterioration around the creek.
"In the 20 years I've lived there, the creek has become more shallow," Buckner said. "We all wanted to get together to discuss some long-range planning to improve the viability of Hunsley Hills and Palo Duro Creek."
He said the organization is not opposed to the proposed construction of a Wal-Mart SuperCenter at Highway 87 and Hunsley Road, which would be near Palo Duro Creek.
"My concern is Palo Duro Creek," Buckner said. "It's not Wal-Mart. If I concentrate on the ecological improvement of Palo Duro Creek, then I believe I'm doing everyone a service."

The Coming Interspiritual Age (Book)
by Kurt Johnson and David Robert Ord
|Out of stock
|Price (USD):
Product Out of stock or Temporarily unavailable. Contact us.
This book details the vision of interspirituality within a comprehensive and powerful synthesis of world religions and spirituality, the discoveries of modern science, and the developmental and evolutionary view of history. It is the first book to review and predict the ongoing history of world religions and spirituality in the context of developmental history, the evolutionary consciousness movement, and current scientific understandings of anthropology, human cognite development, brain/mind and scientific consciousness studies.
This book addresses Brother WayneTeasdale's vision of "The Interspiritual Age," a vision that parallels the equally well-known and publicized visions of the world's developmental and evolutionary consciousness movements (known therein as coming "Integral Age" or "Age of Evolutionary Consciousness") and the international humanist movement (known therein as the emerging "International Ethical Manifold"). As such The Coming Interspiritual Age is the first synthesis of interfaith and interspirituality with the popular writings of integral leaders Ken Wilber and Don Beck.
The book includes provocative sections regarding the inherent unity within the world's religious and spiritual understanding (especially their shared mystical understandings), the relationship of these and modern scientific studies of consciousness and brain/mind, the developmental and evolutionary views of history, the inevitable ongoing processes of world globalization and multiculturalism, the emergent understanding of the Divine Feminine, the nature of spiritual experience and the reputed spirit realms, and the various predictions around and surrounding the year 2012. The book concludes with extensive "how-to" sections regarding the development and practice of interspirituality as it can happen both within the world's current religious traditions as well as in new, creative, and entrepreneurial settings worldwide.

Everyone knows that true love is measured in carats. Problem is, most of us don't have the extra cash to splurge on a ridiculously large precious stone. This 7-3/4" wide x 4-1/4" glass replica "diamond" may not be real, but you can just say that it's a temporary substitute until you save up a couple hundred million dollars to buy a real one. Positively swoon-inducing! Weighs in at an impressive 8.4 pounds and comes with a small glass stand.
