Master of Business Administration Degree
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) offers a balance of theory and practice. The mission of the MBA program is to prepare working adults in the early stages of their careers in small or middlesized organizations with the knowledge, skills, and personal characteristics that will enhance performance in their present occupation, and prepare them for advancement to upper-level management in the future.
A principal strategy for achievement of this overall goal is to employ a balanced educational approach that includes a rich mixture of business theory and practice. The MBA program complements management development activities which, in combination, prepare working adults for advancement within an organization. To this end, the MBA program enhances career opportunities in the management of business firms or other formally organized enterprises. Therefore, the program centers on a professional approach which balances business theory with practice in the search for knowledge, skills, and methodologies that are useful in formulating strategies for the future in an uncertain and often turbulent business environment.
Degree requirements include common core courses and integrate foundation courses for a minimum of 36 semester hours. It is recommended that the foundation courses must be among the first 18 hours of course work in the MBA program.
For the Accounting Track, an undergraduate degree in accounting, or equivalent coursework, is required as a prerequisite.
The emphasis in Human Resource Management of the MBA program is designed for those candidates who wish to prepare for a professional career in Human Resource Management.
Disclaimer: Degree requirements and the availability of business majors varies by nationwide campus.

Fact Check: Does Private Equity Kill Jobs?
In 2013, private equity firms owned or otherwise backed more than 17,000 U.S. companies employing about 7.5 million people.
Yet despite its reach—and the drubbing it received when former Bain Capital executive Mitt Romney ran for president in 2012—little research has been conducted to understand private equity's effects on workers.
Private-equity firms, once called leveraged-buyout firms, raise large pools of money from wealthy individuals and institutions and use those funds—along with lots of debt—to purchase businesses and then restructure them with the expectation of cashing out in a relatively short period with higher-than-average returns.
So what does that mean for employees of those portfolio companies? A new book written by two economists, called "Private Equity at Work," attempts to answer that question. Eileen Appelbaum, from the left-leaning Center for Economic and Policy Research, and Rosemary Batt, a professor at Cornell University, compile the available research and combine it with interviews, case studies and new analysis.
Below, four conclusions from the book, which will be released in May by the Russell Sage Foundation.
- Private equity owners cut more jobs than other companies, but the net effect is minimal. One paper cited, led by university of Chicago economist Steven Davis and reviewing 3,200 firms acquired between 1980 and 2005, found that buyouts lead to more job creation and destruction than companies that were not bought by private equity investors. The destruction arises from firing workers at existing establishments (such as stores or plants), while the creation comes from PE-owned companies investing in new facilities. On balance, employment within two years of the buyout shrinks at PE-owned firms relative to the control group, but the difference is less than 1%.
- Executives fare worse in terms of job retention. One study found that 39% of CEOs were replaced in the first hundred days of a buyout, and 69% were replaced at some point during PE ownership. "When private equity takes over a company, they put their people on the board of directors, draw up a 100-day plan and say to the managers, "If you can meet our targets, we'll make you richer than you thought you could ever be, and if you don't, you'll be out of a job,'" said Appelbaum on a recent conference call about the book.
- For rank-and-file workers, wages fall. More research from Davis and his co-authors indicates that wages dip in the two years after private-equity buyouts (though the results vary by industry) even though productivity rises. This suggests that financial gains from higher productivity are being converted into returns for owners rather than salary bumps for employees.
- Private-equity owners are no more hostile to labor unions than executives of public companies. "While some PE firms market themselves as union-friendly, others are hostile, and still others are agnostic," the authors write. "Their range of attitudes does not seem to differ substantially from those of U.S. employers more generally."
Several things distinguish PE-owned firms from publicly-traded companies, say the authors.
For one, such firms have enormous amounts of debt. As a rough rule of thumb, PE-owned businesses operate with about 70% debt and 30% equity. That ratio is basically reversed for public companies, which generally have only about 30% of their capital coming from bonds and other liabilities.
More relevant to workers is the management structure of PE firms.
While investors in public companies are for the most part distinct from the executives who manage the businesses, private-equity owners are both the investors and the managers of their portfolio companies, which creates incentives for owners to manage operational decisions – such as union contracts, plant closings, and use of capital – for short-term gains to owners, the authors write. Partly because of this, they found, PE-owned companies are twice as likely to file for bankruptcy as comparable public companies, which leads to significant job losses at individual companies.

Boy Scouts install bridge in Hampton
HAMPTON — Plan A was for the Boy Scouts from Troop 120 in Hampton to help set up a wooden bridge over Squaw Creek in East Park.
Eventually they chose Plan B: a nice big steel span.
Same sweet shortcut across the creek. Same pride in accomplishment for the young men.
"I'm glad to see it go in," said 14-year-old Quinn Wood as the new bridge — featuring grain bin flooring from Sukup Manufacturing and trusses from the old Sheffield-Chapin/Meservey-Thornton High School — was set in place Friday. "It's pretty cool to know that I made something that people are going to use every day."
"It sure is going to help a lot of people," said Michael Koath, also 14.
Project planning began more than a year ago. Scouts painted the bridge last fall. They also helped with the fencing, and setting pillars and cement.
Placement was postponed in March thanks to a monster blizzard.
Finally, on sunny Friday, the 4-foot-wide, 62-foot-long, 8,000-pound green bridge was lowered by a crane operator from North Central Millwright in Hampton.
"I think it's a terrific addition to the community," Hampton City Councilman Craig Eckhardt said. "It's going to benefit a lot of people."
Such community service work helps the Scouts advance in rank. It also enhances East Park — the home of soccer fields and a nine-hole disc golf course added last year by the Hampton Noon Rotary Club.
"I think it's great," Scoutmaster Russell Wood said. "It shows the value of having Scouting in the community, that they're willing to provide community service."
Franklin County, the city of Hampton and several area businesses donated time and material for the project.
Darin Lamos, 14, hopes to add lights to the side of the bridge (and refinish a park shelter) by his 15th birthday in August as part of his Eagle Scout project.

There were a lot of memorable things about Sunday night's BET Awards at the Staples Center in Los Angeles that are worth talking about Monday morning. Here are five to reflect on:
CHARLIE WILSON: The Gap Band singer and hip-hop producer's best friend, dubbed "Uncle Charlie" years ago by Snoop Dogg, wasn't content to just accept his lifetime achievement award. After dancing through a tribute from Stevie Wonder, Indie.Arie and Jamie Foxx and giving a long, inspiring speech, Timberlake persuaded Wilson to grab a mic.
THE FUTURE: Aside from Wilson, the night's most memorable stars were rapper Kendrick Lamar and R&B singer Miguel, who both took victory laps after breakout years. Miguel won the night's first award, best male R&B/pop star over Chris Brown, and performed three times—including once with Lamar on "How Many Drinks.
CHRIS TUCKER'S NIGHT: With a dearth of stars in their seats (or the building) for the camera to throw to as the show started, host Chris Tucker turned to an unexpected target—himself—and found comedy gold by poking fun at his $11 million tax problem. "I'm gonna tell you why I'm doing it," he said of his hosting duties. "The IRS got me doing the BET Awards, I ain't gonna lie. They make me sick. They're back there right now counting my money and eating chicken. Pay your taxes, y'all." A little later he did a fairly impressive Michael Jackson impression, then disappeared for long stretches before finishing things off with the help of a poodle. The long vacuum gave comedian Kevin Hart the opening he needed as he exhorted the crowd to "turn up!" in a few appearances and riffed off the cuff about the joy of being Nicki Minaj's chair.
BEWARE THE GUEST PERFORMER: Everyone take a lesson from Uncle Charlie: Don't let your guests show you up. Guests are supposed to enhance a star's song, not take it over. In a couple of cases, though, they high jacked things. Young Jeezy, for instance, had the run of the stage as a mic-bound Mariah Carey looked like a songbird trapped on a gilded set for their performance of "(hash)Beautiful" with Miguel. And Erykah Badu nearly stole the mojo from both Lamar and Janelle Monae in surprise guest appearances.
MANDELA MOMENT: Don Cheadle took things in a serious direction, dedicating the show to ailing South African leader Nelson Mandela, 94. "We want to take a moment to send our thoughts and prayers to a man who literally changed the world, a man who once said, 'Our human compassion binds us the one to the other,'" Cheadle said. "This evening we'd like to offer prayers and support—and hope—to the extraordinary Nelson Mandela and his family."

Cranach and Dürer engravers : rivalry and competition
Graphic arts - Hanging - Room 25From July, 19th 2011 to November, 13th 2011
In different ways 2011 is the "year of Cranach" in France: there was the exhibition Cranach and his time (at Paris, Musée du Luxembourg, February, 7th 2011 - May, 23th 2011) and the Musée du Louvre's purchase of the famous the Three Graces (1531), thanks to general public donations.
The Petit Palais wants to take part in the interest for one of the most original painters, engravers, and drawers of the german Renaissance, by showing an exhibition dedicated to Cranach and Dürer, as engravers.
About twenty of art works - copper and wood engravings - allow to draw a parallel between two of the most original and strong artisitc figures of the german 16th century. It is interesting to see the masters working on the same subjects and trying to outdo in virtuosity in their own styles. Their respectiv manners to tackle religious topics, as well as secular ones, highlight their sensitivity and their position facing important evolutions of ideas, as humanism and the Reformation.
Tree major subjets will be highlighted: religious iconography, tournaments - particularly those of the Saxe Court and the Maximilien's imperial Court - and portraits. Indeed, both of them used to portray the same people, like the famous humanist Melanchton.
The floor area of the Room 25 does not allow to recieve such an activity.

EL SOBRANTE -- An Oakland couple bicycling through South America has been missing for a month, according to family and friends.
Jamie Neal, 27, and her boyfriend Garrett Hand, 25, were last seen in Lima, Peru, on Jan. 26. The couple's tour of Argentina, Chile and Peru began in November, and is documented in frequent posts on Neal's Facebook page.
But they vanished from the social media map Jan. 25, and have not been heard from since they arrived in Lima after biking in the Cusco region of Peru.
Ron Hammer, who has worked with Neal at The Pedaler, a bike shop in El Sobrante, said Sunday he last spoke with her Jan. 18. Neal is on an extended vacation from the shop.
"It's unlike her to disappear," said Hammer, a Pinole resident. "They were always having updates on their Facebook page and emailing and calling people."
Multiple media outlets have reported that the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Embassy in Lima are helping search for the couple. Those reports could not be independently corroborated on Sunday, as no one could be reached for comment.
On Feb. 13, the U.S. Embassy in Lima warned Americans of a potential kidnapping threat by an unnamed criminal organization in the Cusco area. The embassy reported the threat to be "credible at least through the end of February."
Anyone wishing to help the search effort can donate to a fund The Pedaler has created in the name of Neal and Hand at Mechanics Bank, according to Hammer.

Cuts Have Consequences
Published: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 12:12 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 12:12 a.m.
In reference to Karen Donaldson's letter ["Cut Military Budget," Jan. 12], that will affect all your military personnel past and present.
The following things are covered by this spending: defense of your country, defense jobs, civil service jobs, active military pay and benefits, military retirees' pay, VA health care, VA disability pay and so on.
Tell your military personnel who have served in two wars in the last 10 years we don't need them anymore. When you cut the military, you put our nation in harm's way. When the next conflict comes up, you will not have a well-trained military, and when military go into harm's way short of trained personnel, it causes high casualties.
How do I know? I served in the Korean War and two tours in Vietnam.
Don't put our troops under the bus. You may live to regret it.

Hepatitis Health Center
FDA Panel Backs 2 Hepatitis C Drugs
April 28, 2011 -- A major advance for treating hepatitis C is likely headed to market after government advisors backed two new drugs this week.
Studies suggest the drugs could as much as double the effectiveness of current treatments for the potentially fatal liver disease. That could improve prospects for tens of thousands of patients and may bring thousands of more chronic sufferers into treatment, experts say.
An expert panel unanimously recommended Thursday that the FDA approve a new drug called telaprevir, saying it effectively cuts the level of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the bloodstream of infected patients. The decision comes on the heels of another unanimous vote Wednesday backing a similar drug called boceprevir.
As many as 3.9 million Americans are infected with HCV, though up to three-quarters of them don't know it. Millions of Americans were infected with HCV because of tainted blood products in the 1990s and earlier. Today, sharing of needles by users of illicit drugs is a major source of infection.
Hepatitis C is a major cause of cirrhosis, a potentially fatal liver wasting disease. It is also a risk factor for liver cancer.
How Telaprevir and Boceprevir Work
Telaprevir, made by Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and boceprevir, made by Merck, are both part of a new class of anti-HCV drugs known as protease inhibitors. Like similar medications already used against HIV, the drugs suppress HCV by disrupting the reproduction of the virus.
Most HCV patients now face months of treatment with ribavirin and interferon, which are used to boost the immune system. The treatment is complicated, expensive, fraught with side effects, and requires close attention from doctors and patients.
But data from both Vertex and Merck suggest the new protease inhibitors could increase treatment effectiveness from about 40% now to nearly 80%, on average. Clinical trials submitted by the companies suggested the drugs can also shorten the length of treatment from a year to as little as 24 weeks.
Praise From the FDA Panel
The results prompted high praise rarely heard by the FDA's scientific advisors.
"I started pinching myself, saying, 'Is it really possible I'm looking at numbers like this?' Because it really is unbelievable," said Victoria Cargill, MD, director of minority research at the National Institutes of Health's Office of AIDS Research and the panel's chair.

Some places in the Prairie Pothole Region are too good to let go—special lands that contain the magical mix of wetlands and grasslands needed by breeding waterfowl. When such places come up for sale and there is a significant chance that critical resources will be lost, then it's time for Ducks Unlimited to get creative. How can the habitat be protected in a cost-effective way when the landowner doesn't want a conservation easement, is intent on selling out, and DU does not want to assume long-term ownership of the land? The answer is Ducks Unlimited's Revolving Land Acquisition Program (RLAP).
In addition to its cost effectiveness, the RLAP might be called conservation with a compassionate touch. That's because DU has found a way to transact land deals in a manner that addresses the individual circumstances and desires of landowners. A retired farmer who needed to relocate closer to town for health care, a partnership that was dissolving and needed to liquidate land to recover capital, and a husband and wife who were simply tired of the small town social scene and anxious to move closer to grandkids—all real-life examples of landowners who have opted to sell their land to Ducks Unlimited. In meeting their individual needs we have discovered a new approach to securing the future of waterfowl, and we compound the benefits by focusing this program on the best-of-the-best waterfowl breeding habitat in the world: the Missouri Coteau region of North and South Dakota.
DU has set an ambitious goal of protecting 2 million acres of Missouri Coteau grasslands and wetlands from further loss or degradation over the next 15 years. The reasons are obvious. Keeping this treasured landscape intact is a key element in ensuring that prairie-nesting duck populations are sustained into the future. The quality habitat provided by the Coteau was a primary reason that waterfowl populations were able to reach historic high levels when water returned to the prairies in the late 1990s. But such an audacious conservation goal requires some creative approaches. The RLAP is one such approach.
The gist of the program is fairly straightforward. Ducks Unlimited identifies a property for sale with much of the habitat value intact, but where there is a high risk of losing this habitat because it is not protected by easements and is adjacent to intensively cropped lands. We then purchase it from the willing seller at market value, restore those habitat features that are degraded, and place a conservation easement on the property. Once restored and protected from future demise, DU sells the property to a conservation buyer. Potential buyers include ranchers and other conservation-minded private individuals, and state or federal natural resource management agencies.
There are two main ingredients in making this approach successful. The first ingredient is the capital to start the cycle. Through generous support of DU members and a few major contributors, we have been able to get the ball rolling in South Dakota (see sidebar and Goebel Ranch—September/October 2001 Ducks Unlimited magazine). However, the need for conservation in the Coteau continues to exceed our capital. With a large portion of this land set to change hands when the current landowners retire from ranching and farming in the next few years, the fate of the Coteau hangs in the balance. DU needs to grow its capital in the Revolving Land Fund tenfold if we are to ensure that the grasslands and wetlands of this region remain intact and continue to be the heart of production in the Prairie Pothole Region.

(Compare to the awkward, clattering stop/start Tweezer experiments of 1993-94, say, before the boys were able to play dance-funk without placing tongue firmly in cheek; look too at the number of early YEMs that swerved off into clever quote-a-thons and ancient riffs, as opposed to the slinky late-90's style and today's dead serious rock approach.)
Now for this transcendent show...
The second set really is what it looks like: Wolfman's > Piper > Twist > Slave, blending together the ethereal delicacy and enveloping darkness of late 1997 before a tiny, attentive crowd. Wolfman's Brother clonks back and for for a while before developing a spacey echt-'97 groove, all hazy atmospherics and feathery drumbeats; as the jam opens up a welcoming major-chord pattern evolves, and Piper bubbles up in its own time. It's a lovely Piper, building slowly to a midtempo climax - the song hadn't yet turned into a musical greyhound race in those days. After the late lamented Piper coda, Trey starts up the haunting original Twist arrangement...
...and (surprise surprise) Fall '97 was a good time for Twist too. Trey keeps things mellow with his guitar comping, Mike lets some weird dissonant chords loose from his bass, Page plays some tricks on the piano, Fishman is his usual larking-gnome self behind the drumkit, and the groove involutes and complicates into a gorgeous full-band statement - a futuristic precursor to 11/22's 'space jam' out of Halley's Comet. Trey hangs out in the ionosphere, soloing for several minutes, as the other players drop out. This is the template: between this Twist jam and the ambient Stash from the previous night in Vegas you can discern the outline of the whole tour's weeks-long subterranean melody. It's a powerfully emotional moment wholly distinct from, say, Trey's digital delay loop jams from Back in the Day (e.g. 12/31/95, 5/7/94).
The opening chords of Slave coalesce out of the mist, and the next 15 minutes are sublime. It's a short set (less than an hour!), but the music flows so effortlessly that it seems like one long song. This is dream-music - musical psychedelia in the truest sense of the word.
And the first set? Every minute of it is excellent, from the swamp funk of Gumbo to the startling Maze > FEFY > 2001 sequence (yes those are proper segues) to an atomic Antelope closer. If you only know post-hiatus Phish, an opening frame like this one might come as a revelation, and even for relatively experienced fans this is a treasure.
Phish just didn't play bad music in Fall '97; this show doesn't get the same attention as Denver or Hampton or Dayton, but it's every bit as good as the rest of the tour - a single cohesive musical statement to reward a tiny out-of-the-way audience. Other shows can claim to be Greater in some sense, but this is the deep stuff right here. The purest essence.

First local baby of 2013 born in Thibodaux
Published: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 11:21 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 11:21 a.m.
The new year brought new life to the Houma-Thibodaux area.
Lakresha Williams, 22, of Labadieville, is the mother of the first baby born in 2013 in Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes.
The baby girl, who hasn't been named yet — was born Tuesday at 2:30 a.m. at Thibodaux Regional Medical Center. She weighs 6 pounds, 11 ounces and measures 18 inches long.
"I'm excited and happy for her," said Williams, who was relieved that the baby was healthy.
The child is Williams' fourth. She said her other three children's names — two girls and one boy — all start with the letter "J," so it's likely she'll keep that trend going.
Williams, a cook in Labadieville, said she was on her way home from church Monday night when she began experiencing pains.
"I knew something wasn't right," she said, and decided to head to the hospital shortly after midnight. The baby arrived soon after with no complications.
Another baby was born later Tuesday at Thibodaux Regional. Terrebonne General Medical Center in Houma had two New Year's babies as well. Ochsner St. Anne Hospital in Mathews reported zero deliveries. The parishes' two other hospitals, Leonard J. Chabert Medical Center in Houma and Lady of the Sea Hospital in Galliano, do not have maternity services.
Carlmariel Santiago, 24, gave birth to her second son, Edwin Santiago Jr., at 9:08 a.m. at TGMC.
Edwin weighs 7 pounds, 1.1 ounces and measures 19 inches long.
Edwin arrived a bit early, Santiago said. The baby's due date was Jan. 25.
Nonetheless, hospital staff members said Edwin was born without complications and was happy and healthy.
Santiago said she was at a friend's house New Year's Eve when she went into labor about 11 p.m.
"I felt the pains, and then I waited a little while. Then I said, 'Nope, I'm going into labor; someone take me to the hospital.' "
Santiago was holding Edwin, who was sound asleep in her arms. He was bundled tightly in a towel and wearing a small white cap after receiving his first bath.
Santiago, a stay-at-home mom from Houma, said her aunt was born on New Year's Day as well and joked that the date perhaps runs in the family.
"My aunt called to congratulate me on the baby, and I wished her a happy birthday," she said.
Santiago said all she wants to do to celebrate the holiday is "grab and kiss him, wrap him up tight and hold him in my arms."

At a time when public schools across California face severe budget cuts, there is still cause for celebration in the Lake Tahoe Unified School District, which held grand openings for the South Tahoe High School student union and the middle school's Mountain Vista building on Friday.
With the completion of the two buildings, there are only two projects left on the Measure G list. Since 2009, LTUSD has spent about $80 million on completed construction projects and Facilities Director Steve Morales estimated $18 million more will be spent before August of next year.
Faculty, students, parents, council members and other residents gathered in the new student union on Friday, a building - part cafeteria, part student hang-out, part high-tech classroom- that Superintendent Dr. James Tarwater said will be a hub for students on campus.
"It will be phenomenal. It'll be a step in the right direction, and it's making a statement. South Tahoe really cares about their kids and their community," Tarwater said.
Under a soaring ceiling and surrounded by high glass windows and a modern cafeteria that would make many university presidents jealous, upcoming STHS freshman Alec Jobbins and his mother, Renee, admired the facility.
"It's great. It's a lot better than it was," Alec Jobbins said.
At noon, the celebration moved east to South Tahoe Middle School, where the audience gathered on the new hard-surface playing area in front of the Mountain Vista building.
With 10 new classrooms behind her and nine basketball courts laid out before her, STMS Principal Beth Delacour expressed her enthusiasm for the facilities.
"I am the luckiest woman in the world to be working here at a time like this. Thank you for seeing this vision," Delacour said.
Construction continues at the STHS sports medicine building and Bijou Community School, with both projects slated for completion next year.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II - Nuketown Zombies
Nuketown Zombies is set during the events of Moon, and after the end of the multiplayer level from the original Black Ops game. A group of radiation scientists are investigating the Nuketown remains and discover soldiers that have been revived by Element 115 from a nearby Nevada base. The zombie soldiers attack the radiation scientists and turn them, and after receiving a distress signal, the base in Nevada sends in CIA and CDC agents to investigate. Upon arrival in Nuketown the agents lose communication with Hangar 18 and become stranded...setting the stage for Nuketown Zombies.

Checked in with Pac-12 Enterprise President Gary Stevenson about a variety of topics. Naturally, we touched on the prospects for a Pac-12 Networks distribution deal -- with DirecTV and/or other carriers -- sometime between now and the start of football.
"I'm confident we'll make a lot of progress in the next 60-90 days," Stevenson said.
He didn't get into details, and I didn't get the sense that he was necessarily referring to DirecTV.
But given how close-to-the-vest Stevenson plays carriage negotiations for the past year, his expression of confidence qualifies as significant.
So which carrier(s) is close to a deal?
Within the league's footprint, five affiliates don't carry the Pac-12 Networks, Stevenson said.
One is a smaller carrier: Cable 1, which is in Arizona and some areas of the Pacific NW.
The other four are major: Charter, Verizon, AT&T and DirecTV.
Adding distribution is "our No. 1 priority," Stevenson said. "We are prepared to negotiate anytime.
"Our offer has been market tested and four of the five largest distributors in the country (Comcast, Time Warner, Cox and DISH) said it's an equitable deal.
"Of the five we're targeting, we're in active discussions with most of them."
If the Pac12Nets are on the verge of a deal, my guess is that it's not with DTV. (Feels too early: If DTV is going to sign up, it won't be until mid-to-late August.)
And because Charter moves in virtual lockstep with DTV, we can probably eliminate it, as well.
So if there's movement, it's most likely with AT&T or Verizon. And if the Pac12Nets gets one, perhaps the other would cut a deal soon thereafter.

Affluence and Autism: Cause and Effect? Or Not?
August 4, 2010 9 comments
Have you seen this new University of Wisconsin study that correlates an increased prevalence of autism with greater household affluence? This isn't the first study to reach that conclusion. But what does it mean? Many researchers dismiss research like this by saying wealthier people have more resources to get an autism diagnosis. They say more educated people are more likely to pick up subtle differences in their kids. And perhaps they're right. Does that account for all the difference?
John Elder Robison, an author who has autism and serves on Autism Speaks' Scientific and Treatment Advisory Boards, recently posed this question and offered his thoughts on Psychology Today.

USA, 2012, 78 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subject: Drama
Programs: Contemporary World Cinema, Reel Social ClubLanguage: English, Japanese English Sub-Titles
In a mélange of feature film and video diary that draws on the real lives of its actors, filmmaker Mike Ott (Littlerock, SDFF 33) tells a story with a strong sense of dislocation about young adults in small-town California.
Anna and Cory are unlikely friends who seem to have been thrown together and stuck. Cory is an innocent, essentially orphaned, and oblivious to his own fecklessness, possibly because of his significant ingestion of cannabis. He is bullied by his older brother, who's at least succeeded in the art of survival. Cory lives for the dream being cast in a reality show. Anna plays the part of compassionate observer, but she has stresses in her own life. She's lived in the U.S. since she was a child but has yet to pass her citizenship test. Her very strict uncle and aunt badger her about work and life. The only thing she really cares about is her grandmother back in Japan, whose health is dicey. Phone calls help Anna connect with her, but they aren't enough. To get money to fly to the one person she really loves, Anna resorts to prostitution, combing truck-stop parking lots for johns. Cory persuades her to come along on a trip to see the father he's never met, partly as a buffer against his brother. While it's not going to cure the aimlessness of their lives or reverse the letdowns they've endured, it brings a flickering sense of hope and a new awareness to their days.
In 2011, Ott (Kid Icarus, Analog Days) won the "Someone to Watch" Independent Spirit Award. He teaches film directing at the University of Southern California.

Anon Dixon Day, Jr, 70
Published: Sunday, December 9, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 8, 2012 at 5:26 p.m.
TUXEDO - Anon Dixon "Dick" Day, Jr., 70, died Wednesday, October 31, 2012. Dick peacefully departed for his "happy hunting ground" at 3:50 p.m. at Regency Hospital in Greenville, SC after a month-long illness. He was a resident of Henderson County for twenty-three years, living for the last eighteen years in Tuxedo, NC.
He was born in St. Paul, MN, on September 14, 1942 to the late Marjorie Cagle Day and Anon Dixon Day, Sr.
Dick attended school in North Augusta, SC and graduated from Florence High School. He was a graduate of Wofford College. He was enlisted in the Marine Corps from 1964 through 1967 with an Honorable Discharge as a Sergeant E5. He briefly taught elementary school outside Wilmington, NC, was a sales rep for Kelty and Sierra Designs outdoor gear, an Outward Bound instructor, and a hitchhiking cowboy. Dick moved to Flat Rock in 1989 to start the Mountaineering program at Camp Ton-A-Wandah. He worked with Youth at Risk at the YMCA, and taught at the Alternative School in Tuxedo.
A member of First Baptist Church, he was active in Ken Hill's Sunday School Class and taught Middle and High School Sunday school for several years. He also sat frequently at the Embracing Simplicity Hermitage.
Dick was a familiar face in local music circles and played "real live" blues at venues and festivals in Henderson, Buncombe and surrounding counties. He was a fixture in the restaurants on Main Street Hendersonville for years, entertaining hundreds if not thousands with his unique southern style piano and the occasional mouth trumpet solo.
Dick was an avid painter and has left a body of work in crayon and acrylic. He was an artist, poet, dreamer and friend to all he met. Dick Day was one of a kind and will be sorely missed and fondly remembered by many.
He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Jade Elliott Day-Burdett and Aaron Burdett; brother, Guy David Day of Wilmington, NC; sister, Rebecca Jane Benfield of Greenville, NC; Charla Elliott Day of Hendersonville, NC; Jeanette Day of Charlotte, NC, as well as cousins throughout the country.
A memorial Service will be held at 1 pm Saturday, December 22, 2012, at First Baptist Church in Hendersonville. There will also be a celebration of his life in April 2013 at Camp Ton-A-Wandah in Flat Rock.
An online guest book is available at www.shulerfuneralhome.com.
Shuler Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.

it already has the benefit of ignoring mortal strike affects.
I just dont like crit in general, too RNG.. remove all crit in the game. Make all dmg & healing unable to critical hit, balance the whole game around nonecrits & only add dmg modifiers. Would be 100 times easier to balance the game if that happened =))

- Priest (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
- Power Word: Solace has been replaced with a new talent: Solace & Insanity
- For Holy and Discipline, Power Word: Solace replaces Holy Fire. It deals the same damage, and interacts with other spells and abilities in the same manner, but Power Word: Solace doesnt trigger Atonement, is instant, costs no mana, and restores 1% of maximum mana on each cast. When Power Word: Solace deals damage, it will also heal a friendly player within 40 yards of the target equal to 100% of its damage (When priest is healed, the healing is equal to 50% of its damage).
- Power Infusion now also causes priest to deal 10% more damage, other effects remain unchanged.
- Discipline
- Mastery: Shield Discipline now also increases healing of all healing spells, but the bonus it provides reduced by 36%.
- The range of Penance is 40 yards to both friendly targets and enemies (was 40 yards to friendly targets and 30 yards to enemies).
- Spirit Shell now provides an absorbing shield equal to your average healing and absorb effects, including critical healing and Divine Aegis.
Spirit Shell no longer benefits from Mastery, and now properly includes the benefits of Divine Aegis and critical effect chance.
- Divine Aegis now causes critical healing to apply an absorbing shield to the target, equal to 100% of the healing, rather than double healing. In additional, it also causes Power Word: Shield to have a chance equal to priest's critical change to absorb double damage.
Divine Aegis is no longer guaranteed when Prayer of Healing is cast. The effect now activates when the spell crits.
- Mastery: Shield Discipline now also increases healing of all healing spells, but the bonus it provides reduced by 36%.
- Power Word: Solace has been replaced with a new talent: Solace & Insanity
spirit shell is scaling with mastery again? and is it dispelable? together with 4pcs bonus it will be our best cd

We don't need more dmg, our dmg is already good, but I want to have fade back.
Now we have nothing against an enemy caster comp, one time open field and we have to disperse instantly and have to stay 2min back at the pillar. The Problem is we have to push open field because we are the only caster whose cc is meelerange.
Just remove the Dmg buffs and give us fade back and raise the cd of fade to 45sek

For the playstyle, I think we need to accept the fact that disc priest is now a season 2 holy paladin with less utility and massdispel(that ooms you). Solace hits people for 8k, smites are about the same with the glyph, so damage buff is unlikely They won't nerf totemic restoration , so fear is useless, they won't give a second cc, something every healer has, they won't add a healing cooldown because disc is too strong in pve. As result, now you heal like other healers when left alone but you dont bring anything to the game.
If you are ok with those, disc is in a good state now, healing wise.

- Power Word: Shield (Discipline) SP scaling and base absorb reduced by 6%.
- Divine Aegis - Critical heals create a protective shield on the target, absorbing 100% of the amount healed, instead of healing for twice as much. Lasts 15 sec. Additionally, Power Word: Shield has a chance equal to your critical effect chance to absorb twice as much.
- Mastery: Shield Discipline now increases the potency of all your damage absorption spells by 12.8%, down from 20%. Now also increases all of your healing by 6.4%.

PS: I dunno how mastery/ pw: shield changes are going to be, PTR is down.

PW:S critting is kinda dumb too, OP when it does, and after mastery/pw:s nerf it will not be strong as it is now when doenst crit

A little rain may have spoiled the quantity of cars, but certainly not the quality of those on display at the annual Marietta Noon Lions Club Bill Drayer Memorial Car Show at East Muskingum Park.
The event is held on Father's Day every year and has seen as many 135 vehicles parked in the grassy stretch along Front Street, said Clint Holley, president of the Marietta Noon Lions, which sponsors the event.
"This is always a good day for families to come down with the kids, walk around looking at old cars and reminiscing," he said.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Lowell resident Gene Newlon, 46, takes in vehicles at Sunday's Bill Drayer Memorial Car Show with grandson Terrance Antill, 4. The annual Father's Day event, held by the Marietta Noon Lions, featured around 30 cars and trucks parked in East Muskingum Park.
The Lions have sponsored the car show for 21 years now. The event is named for the late Bill Drayer, a longtime Lion who was responsible for getting the car show up and running, said Holley.
Though the weather hurt the turnout, the approximately 30 cars being shown were plenty for event attendees to drool over.
Brock Riser, 36, of Cairo, W.Va., was headed through town with 10-year-old son Ashton and 8-year-old daughter Brooklyn when they noticed all the old cars in the middle of the park.
Fact Box
At a glance
19th annual Bill Drayer Memorial Car Show:
Around 30 cars and trucks were on display Sunday in Marietta's East Muskingum Park.
The event is named in honor of the late Bill Drayer, a longtime Lions Club member who originally organized the event.
Money raised by the event will go to the Lions Club's sight-saving programs, which raise around $12,000 a year for exams, glasses, vision research and more.
Source: Marietta Noon Lions
"We were actually just driving by and saw this. They really like old cars, so we stopped," said Brock.
In face, Riser drives an '87 Mustang, but did not enter it into the show.
"It's not really a show car. It's my car that I drive," he said.
Brooklyn gravitated toward a handful of Mustangs on display at the show. Ashton likes Herbie the Love Bug, said Brock.
"I had a Plymouth Acclaim that we dressed up like Herbie once. You can get the decals online," he said.
The event has become a Father's Day staple for many auto-loving dads and their clan.
"It's a nice one to come to for Father's Day," said Gary Gaughan Jr., 52, of Marietta.
Gary and daughter Kyra Gaughan, 11, were admiring a '72 Chevy Cheyenne pick-up owned by 63-year-old Larry Watts, of Ripley, W.Va.
Watts recently retired and the pick-up is the first vehicle he has ever shown, he said.
"It's a really nice job for the first one," commented Gary of the glossy black truck.
Gary said he hopes to soon retire and do the same.
"I'm getting ready to start up on a '70 Cutlass SX," he said.
Gary also has two sons, but it was Kyra who acted as his car guru Sunday. She helped get her grandmother's 2007 Saturn Sky Redline ready to display at the show.
Next to the Saturn Sky, Marietta resident Sam Meade was displaying his 1967 Chevy II/Nova. Meade, who loves old cars, has attended the car show for well over a decade, but it was about four years ago that he started displaying his car.
"We used to walk through here and I said 'I'm going to show a car here one of these days,'" he said.
Now Meade gets to enjoy the car show from the other end, and he never misses the event.
"Every year, rain or shine. I just like meeting all the people and I still like looking at the different cars," he said.
The rain didn't dampen 4-year-old Terrance Antill's enthusiasm as he pointed to emblems and had grandfather Gene Newlon, 46, of Lowell, explain them.
"That's a Road Runner," said Newlon of the iconic bird Antill spotted on a Plymouth Road Runner.
Newlon was at the car show for the first time with his father, 69-year-old John Newlon, who was displaying his 1960 Chevy Impala.
"We pretty well worked on it together," said John. "I keep my garage pretty full so we had to work on it in his.
John has shown the car at the annual Father's Day show several times, but this his first year back after a hiatus spent working on the car.
"It's a fun day. I like to show my car off," he said.
Entrants paid a $10 entry fee to display a car at the show. Though the vehicles were not judged, prizes were handed out for trivia answers and as door prizes.
Money raised through concessions and entry fees will go to help fund the Lions' sight-saving programs, explained Holley.
The organization donates around $12,000 a year to programs that help pay for eye exams, glasses, and vision research. Almost all of that money is donated locally, he added.

To help those who have been displaced or affected by tornadoes, the American Red Cross has set up a shelter at Shawnee High School, 1001 N. Kennedy.
The shelter is located in the Performing Arts and Athletic Center.
ARC Volunteer Kim Lillard was among those setting up the shelter late Sunday night.
"We're here for anybody whose been displaced," she said, providing two hot meals a day.
Even if they don't need a place to sleep, Lillard said those who've lost power or have damage and just need a place to take a break, can find help at the shelter.
Jodi Warrior, who had a mobile home in Steelman Estates, stopped by the shelter Sunday night.
She and about 11 others were in a cellar when the storm hit.
"We saw it coming — we jumped in and covered up," she said. "It was loud — we were holding our ears."
After the storm, she discovered her mobile home was destroyed.
While she's lost everything, the most valuable thing to her was losing photographs of her children.
A shelter also is set up in the Carney area, where tornadoes also touched down. That shelter is located at the Carney Senior Center, 301 Maple Ave.
ARC officials said the best thing people can do to help others at this time is make a donation to the American Red Cross by going to www.redcross.org or texting REDCROSS to 90999.

Fire damages Bayou Blue home
Published: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 8:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 8:33 p.m.
A house caught fire Monday afternoon off Bayou Blue Road. No one was injured.
Thomas Kinard, of Gibson, said he was moving into the house at 106 T-John Court and had just turned power on Monday. Something electrical was likely what caused the fire, he said.
The fire started between the stove and the microwave, Bayou Blue Fire Chief Harvey Parks Jr. said. About 20 firefighters responded, and they had the fire out in about eight minutes.
Smoke and fire seemed to have damaged the entire inside of the house.
