Current Research
Dr. Halpern-Felsher's research focuses on developmental, cognitive and psychosocial factors involved in health-related decision-making. Over the past 15 years, she has conducted several large studies to understand the decision-making process involved in adolescent and young adult risk behavior. One study, funded by California's Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program, involved a prospective cohort design in which 400 male and female adolescents of varying racial/ethnic background were followed from 9th grade through one year post high school. The ultimate goal of this longitudinal study has been to determine the extent to which adolescents' perceptions of smoking-related long- and short-term risks and benefits influence adolescents' and young adults' initiation, continuation and cessation of smoking. Such information is critical for the development of new, more effective programs aimed at reducing adolescent smoking. We have published several papers from this study, including articles in Health Psychology, Pediatrics, Preventive Medicine, and the American Journal of Public Health. Several additional papers are currently in review, and additional papers are being published off of this large data set.
Another study, funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, uses a prospective cohort design in which over 600 ethnically and socioeconomically diverse male and female adolescents were followed for five years. The aims of this study were to: (1) examine whether the onset of adolescent sexual activity, both with and without condom use, is associated with previous and/or subsequent changes in judgments concerning STD and HIV/AIDS risk; (2) examine whether adolescents' personal experiences with negative outcomes related to sexual behavior (or lack of such experiences) influence subsequent risk judgments and sexual behavior; (3) determine the extent to which perceived benefits of sexual behavior are related to adolescent sexual behavior, over and above perceived risks; and (4) determine whether knowledge of peers' experiences with sexual behaviors and related positive and negative outcomes play a role in adolescents' risk judgments and subsequent sexual behavior. Dr. Halpern-Felsher received additional funding to continuing following the sample into young adulthood. The results of this research should provide valuable information concerning the relationship between risk judgments and behavior that is expected to be useful to researchers and health practitioners concerned with developing programs to reduce adolescents' sexual risk. Several papers have been published from this study, including in the Journal of Research on Adolescence; Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Journal of Adolescent Health, and Pediatrics; other manuscripts are in review, and additional manuscripts will be submitted shortly.
With funding from the William T. Grant Foundation, Dr. Halpern-Felsher has been conducting qualitative studies on adolescent decision-making, one focusing on sexual decision-making and the other on decisions to use tobacco. These qualitative studies provide for a larger, adolescent-driven perspective on decision-making not always captured by quantitative surveys. We have completed qualitative interviews with 42 adolescents (N=42; 52% female, mean age = 14.12, SD = .45) randomly selected from our overall sample of participants in the sexual behavior study. Results have been published in the Journal of Research on Adolescence. Interviews with 40 adolescents participating in the tobacco study have also been conducted; results forthcoming.
Most recently, Dr. Halpern-Felsher received funding from TRDRP to translate her research findings to the development of novel school-based interventions to prevent tobacco use. She has also expanded and extended her research to understanding risk behaviors in a larger context of adolescent development as well as within the emerging adult population, as this is a developmental period most often characterized by exploration including health-compromising behaviors. She is applying developmental models of decision-making that include not only cognitive processes involved in decisions (e.g., risk and benefit perceptions, social norms), but also an integration of the role that contextual (e.g., parents, peers) and developmental (e.g., age, maturation, psychosocial development, emotional development) factors play in decision-making and behavioral trajectories. She is also examining the extent to which adolescents compared to adults utilize analytic versus heuristic processes in decision-making, and whether such differences explain seemingly discrepant patterns of behavior by developmental period. She is also examining ethnic differences in adolescents' and adults' engagement in health risk behavior, with a specific focus on whether there are cultural differences in how adolescents make decisions. Finally, Dr. Halpern-Felsher is applying her research models and findings to the development, application, and evaluation of novel interventions aimed at reducing adolescents' and young adults' engagement in risk behavior, and she is extending her research agenda to include youth in rural communities.

3-4 Aug 2006, Singapore
organised by Asia Research Institute
How has China, in rhetoric and practice, responded to or rationalized her changing position in Asia over the past two centuries? This ARI conference proposes a re-examination of China's place in Asia since 1800. It will examine how China saw its position in Asia and how smaller Asian states, particularly in Southeast Asia, viewed it. The conference will bring together historians of late Imperial (1800-1911), Republican (1911-1949) and Communist (1949-) China, historians of colonial and post-colonial Southeast Asia, and International Relations specialists. Topics will include the demise of "traditional" perception (rhetoric), the emergence of new structures, the use of historical memories or constructions of past relationships and the constant defying of these by pragmatic actors on the ground. An integral question being investigated by the conference is whether the Westphalian system has been challenged in Asia. Behind these question is an implicit assumption that there is a real need for rethinking International Relation in this region of conflicting world views.
China's modern borders were re-defined during the high colonial era, which ended a "tribute system" manifestly at odds with the Westphalian system. The late 19th century when these borders were internationally recognised and the mid-20 th century when colonial control over China's southern/eastern borders ended were particularly important turning points in establishing how far Westphalia would work in Asia. How should we understand China's rhetoric towards these changes and how did Chinese officials on the ground dealing with the changes respond to them? Was there a pattern to China's responses or rationalisation? How far did other Asian countries and nationalisms accept a Westphalian concept of sovereign equality? With China joining international organisations as an equal partner and as Asia contemplates the "peaceful rise" of China in the 21st century, it is important to clarify what the past has to tell us about future possibilities, misunderstandings, and options for modifying the currently contested world order.

We're planning on a trip to Istanbul, and after that a trip across Europe with us eventually ending up in Rome, and we think a ferry would be a good way of doing this.
On the interrail map, the only marked leaving place is from Igoumenitsa, on the East cost of Greece. I'm sure there is more ferries that go to Italy leaving from other places in Europe, like Ploce and Split.
Basically my question is, what are my options here, to go from Istanbul to Italy by ferry? Where would be the best place to depart from?
By best, I mean, combination of cheapest, quickest and easiest.
Thanks guys, really appreciate your help.

RICHMOND HEIGHTS, Ohio — A man who led police on a chase at more than 120 miles per hour in November is still being investigated, records say.
The man eventually crashed his car on Richmond and Chardonview roads, breaking his back and vertebrae.
The 25-year-old man has not been charged with any crimes, but court records say police are looking through his phones to see if the man fled because he was dealing drugs.
Court records say on Nov. 28, an officer saw the man run a red light at Richmond and Highland roads. When the officer tried to pull him over, he slowed down, then sped up to about 120 miles per hour, records say.
Records say he weaved in on-coming lanes several times.
The officer followed the man until she reached 70 miles per hour and was called off the chase.
Court records say the man later crashed and was found unconscious. An ambulance took him to Hillcrest Hospital.
Police found 28.6 grams of heroin, a digital scale and $485 in his pockets, records say.
State investigators tested the man's "event data recorder" in his car, reports say. They found he drove up to 120 miles per hour and crashed at 69 miles per hour.
A judge allowed investigators to look through the man's two phones. State investigators pulled text messages, his call history, photos and other data from the man's phone, records say.
The man's criminal history includes convictions for drug trafficking in 2009 and 2013. He was convicted of resisting arrest in 2011. In all, he forfeited $2,228, a digital scale and a cellphone in the three cases, records say.

The Amarillo City Commission on Tuesday took one of two steps necessary before it can consider a property tax abatement request expected to come from a wind energy components company moving here.
Commissioners voted to update guidelines and criteria that must be met for any property tax abatement granted to any company in a reinvestment zone in Amarillo.
The guidelines, required by state law, show what improvements the city might rebate taxes for and how abatements would be tied to job creation.
At its meeting next Tuesday, the commission will consider establishing a reinvestment zone in the vicinity of North Lakeside Drive/Loop 335 and Northeast 24th Avenue, the location of the city's CenterPort Business Park.
If a zone is established, the commission could next consider a request for a property tax abatement from a business in the zone.
Alstom Power Inc., a European wind energy component manufacturer, intends to expand and move into a building the city owns at the business park. On Jan. 12, the commission approved a $12.5 million incentive package for the company, which is promising to bring 275 to 750 jobs to the city. The jobs include 275 to 300 full-time jobs through Alstom, plus 475 more that could come as suppliers and vendors locate here.
When the incentive deal was approved, Amarillo Economic Development Corp. President and CEO Buzz David told the commission that the AEDC will support Alstom as it seeks property tax abatements from taxing entities in Amarillo and Potter County and to the possible creation of an enterprise zone to gain further incentives.
In other action, the commission:
Approved a $38,000 contract for The Polaris Group to determine how the city Fire Department can upgrade the emergency medical certification of its personnel to perform advanced life-saving procedures. The Fire Department currently provides basic life-support assistance.
The consulting firm recently helped city staff determine the cost of operating a city-run ambulance service and negotiating the requirements of recently approved license granted to private provider American Medical Response. AMR recently purchased Amarillo Medical Services from Northwest Texas Healthcare System.
Awarded a $16 million contract to Garney Cos. Inc. for improvements at the Osage Water Treatment Plant. The contract includes $664,277 tacked on to cover the cost of installing of a third electrical generator at the plant.

In order to combat a $3.5 million deficit, the Williamsport Area School Board voted 7-1 to authorize the administration to apply for Act 1 index exceptions at Tuesday's meeting.
By filing for exceptions, it gives the district the power to raise real estate taxes above the index, which currently is set at 2.4 percent. Board member Dale Vollman was the lone vote against the item.
The measure was approved after Business Manager Jeffrey Richards informed the board that the preliminary budget showed a $3.5 million deficit. Richards called it a "worse-case scenario."
After the meeting, Richards said most of the deficit was due to increased debt service and the district could lower it to $1.8 million by using unassigned fund balance. There also were unknowns, such as retirements, that could lower the deficit.
Debbra Savage, director of human resources, announced that 18 employees have filed for retirement, so far.
Superintendent Dr. Kathleen Kelley said the district is continuing to work on the budget.
More "in-depth" information is expected at the board's next meeting.
In other business, a presentation outlined boundaries and start times for district schools as a grade reconfiguration will be implemented at the start of next school year.
"What we're doing is taking the next step with what was decided upon by the board (to close Round Hills Elementary and Sheridan Elementary)," said Richard McCusker, director of pupil transportation.
The district will use the state Department of Education guidelines that state elementary students living within one and one-half miles of their school will not use school transportation. The guidelines is two miles for middle and high school.
Board member Dr. Jane Penman had a concern with a boundary that required students in the western section of Linden to attend Hepburn-Lycoming Primary School, when they would pass Jackson Primary School on their way.
Assistant Superintendent Dr. Don Adams said after the meeting that the district could change the boundary and would consider all options.
He was fairly certain that start times would be as presented, with high school starting at 7:45 a.m., middle school at 8 a.m., an 8:50 start time for intermediate schools and primary schools starting at 9:05 a.m.

Session 70 - Planetary Systems Near & Far.
Display session, Friday, January 09
Exhibit Hall,
We present a spectrum of the cool (T_eff = 900 K) brown dwarf Gliese 229B. This spectrum, with a relatively high signal-to-noise ratio per spectral resolution element (\gtrsim 30), spans the wavelength range from 0.837 \mum to 5.0 \mum. We identify a total of four different major methane absorption features, including the fundamental band at 3.3 \mum, at least four steam bands, and two neutral cesium features. We confirm the recent detection of carbon monoxide (CO) in excess of what is predicted by thermochemical equilibrium calculations. Carbon is synthesized into methane in the outer layers of the atmosphere where the temperature is low. However, in the deeper, hotter layers it is oxidized into CO. The presence of CO in the observable part of the atmosphere is therefore a sensitive indicator of vertical flows. The high signal-to-noise ratio in the 1 \mum to 2.5 \mum region permits us to place constraints on the quantity of dust in the atmosphere of the brown dwarf. We are unable to reconcile the spectrum with the presence of dust. The presence of CO but lack of dust may be a clue to the location of the boundaries of the outer convective region of the atmosphere: The lack of dust may mean that it is not being conveyed into the photosphere by convection, or that it exists in patchy clouds. If the dust is not in clouds, but rather sits below the outer convective region, we estimate that the boundary between convective and inner radiative layers is between 1250 K and 1600 K, in agreement with recent models.

"The Nutcracker" ballet is a holiday staple for many families — as much a part of the Christmas season as decorating the tree and singing carols. High-quality productions of Tchaikovsky's masterpiece have been produced in Greeley every year since the Union Colony Civic Center opened — the past 18 years by the Colorado Dance Theatre. This is the 11th season under the direction of Debie Larsen.
With a ballet so widely produced, it is no surprise that most people are familiar with the storyline. Young Clara is given a nutcracker doll as a Christmas gift by her mysterious Uncle Drosselmeyer. When she falls asleep that night, she is transported in her dreams on a fantastical journey, first to the wondrous land of snow and ice, and later to the land of Sweets, presided over by the Sugar Plum Fairy.
Regardless of how many times you may have seen "Nutcracker," there is always something new to enjoy. While there are many familiar faces in this cast, there are some new faces and some surprises in store.
Unlike many productions, the first act is lively and full of so much action you are bound to miss something. But most of the feature dancing is in the second half, and here is where this production shines.
As is the Greeley custom, the role of Clara is double cast, with Tiffany Dann and Carly McClees splitting the performances. They are both experienced young dancers and are equally up to the challenge.
Colten Bray is the Nutcracker Prince, and I'm sure you will have as difficult time as I did believing that he has only danced for three years. Other prominent dancers include Reade Anderson, Aimee Nieman, Mikaela Hofbauer and Jen Lengel. Conner Anderson does his best to steal the show as Mother Ginger and even George Gray appears — not as Elvis but as Drosselmeyer.
The most magical part of the ballet is the Grand pas de Deux, performed beautifully by the lovely Autum Eckman and Randy Herrera. Eckman, lovely and lithe, has the perfect ballerina body, and with her near perfect extensions, she demonstrates that she clearly knows how to use it. Herrera possesses the power needed to make his role appear easy — especially his turns — and the grace to give way to Eckman. This is by far the best pair of featured dancers the Greeley "Nutcracker" has ever been blessed with, and you should not miss them.
As an arts advocate, I have mixed feelings about the recorded music. There is something special about a ballet with a live orchestra, but the recorded tracks allow the producers to keep ticket prices significantly lower, which allows more people to enjoy the show.
The sets, costumes and especially BJ Abernathy's gorgeous lighting all work well. In fact, everything comes together beautifully to make this "Nutcracker" a holiday treat to be enjoyed by the entire family. There are limited seats left for the three performances this weekend.
Bryan VanDriel lives in Greeley and has been active in the arts for more than 30 years. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

HUNTERSVILLE - Ron Polcyn had hoped that since his two daughters had not inherited his Tourette's syndrome, his son, Austin, also would not develop it.
Yet right around the age of 5 or 6, Austin started showing symptoms. Now at 13, he has tics, such as doing things with his hands, jumping and facial grimaces when he eats.
While many people associate the syndrome with cursing uncontrollably, there actually are many types of tics people can experience. They also can change daily.
"He could have one tic today and two tomorrow," Ron said. Then his tics could completely disappear and he could be in remission until five years down the line, it could come back.
People with Tourette's syndrome often also have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). When Ron gets stressed out, his OCD becomes more pronounced where he will repeatedly have to check something.
"Eventually I say, 'That's the last time,' " he said.
A third of the people with it stutter, something that Austin does, Ron said.
A big trigger for Austin is stress. When he becomes overwhelmed, his tics become more pronounced. If he is having trouble with his homework and becomes too
stressed about it, his parents encourage him to go upstairs to his bedroom to play the drums.
Drumming is his outlet, something he does to relax.
While not everyone with Tourette's syndrome plays drums, Ron said it is important for them to have outlets.
"I know what he's going through," Ron said. "I was in martial arts. That was my escape. ... I don't know where I'd be if my father didn't get me involved with it."
Like Austin, Ron inherited Tourette's from his father.
Ron had done some drumming, which inspired him to buy a drum set for Austin at a "dollar" store. He did not have it long before it broke. He got another one, which also broke. When he became serious about drumming, his parents bought him a "nice drum set."
"I surpassed my Dad a long time ago (in drumming)," Austin said.
He drums every day he can. Recently, he started working with Mike Wrench, who brought to the area Drums and Disabilities, a national organization based on helping people with disabilities through drumming.
Mostly however, Austin and his family have to deal with the misconceptions.
"A lot of people think people with Tourette's are mentally handicapped," Ron said.
Shannon, Austin's mother, worked with him and discovered he learned a different way.
She had him take a test after reading a lesson silently. He failed.
"The second test, he read out loud," Shannon said. "No mistakes."
His parents called him an auditory learner, something they shared with his teachers so they would know how to help him.
"A lot of people think he's stupid," Ron said. "He made the honor roll."
Some people think Tourette's syndrome is contagious, which it isn't.
Ron and Shannon want to make people more aware of facts about the syndrome. Ron said they begged his school for more than a year to educate the students about why Austin does what he does.
They educated one grade and some of the students asked questions, but it didn't help the students in seventh, ninth, 10th, 11th and 12th grades.
Ron said he wants to educate people in hopes of stopping bullying. Austin has been yelled at in school for acting out in ways that he can't help.
"Teachers never understand," Shannon said.
"Every kid has a right to a fair and proper education," Ron said.
They tried starting a support group for anyone who has or anyone who knows someone who has or anyone who just want to learn more about Tourette's syndrome. If interested, call Ron at 435-5181.

July 4, 2011 - Rick Kozlowski
MANHEIM, Pa. - Finally got to see my niece, Madison, play soccer.
It's been a long and arduous journey of some 10 years.
But on Sunday, it happened as I traveled to Lancaster County, Pa., for the United States Youth Soccer Region I Tournament, an event to honor champions from club teams stretching from Virginia to Maine, and including West Virginia.
I watched my niece, who has some Division I schools looking at her, play soccer.
And I also got to see a West Virginia team play, too.
The Under-18, Shepherdstown-based EPIC Blast played on a field adjacent to the one where Madison Kozlowski - the "Mad Lady," I alone call her - was playing.
Neither the Blast nor Madison's Stars United Thundercats won a game in the tournament.
The Blast lost 2-0 to the group champion YMS Thunder, the Pennsylvania East champion.
The Blast scored one goal in three games, but the squad was competitive, giving up only seven total goals in those games.
That's a far cry from when the Blast started winning the West Virginia State Cup and qualifying for this event.
"We're more competitive than we used to be," said fan and soccer guru Carl Wise, whose sons Zach and Jake are members of the Blast.
"We'd lose games 9-0, 8-1. It's not that way anymore."
Madison's team, the Pennsylvania West champion after dethroning a long-time power, scored three goals - two by her.
And I got to see one of them!
It is really akin to a miracle.
Not that I saw a goal by Madison.
Just that I got to see her play.
It started back when she was around 8. I was in Pittsburgh and tried to get down to a tournament she was playing in Washington, Pa. I got there, all right. Just as her team's last game ended.
Then I've pondered seeing her play in tournaments at Columbia, Md., but my schedule hasn't commiserated.
There are other times, too.
None worse, though, than when I went to see her play during her freshman season of high school.
She was double-rostered, meaning she played on the junior varsity and varsity teams.
Running late, I got to the junior varsity game to see her walking off the field for the night in that game after being a part of four or five goals as I paid my admission fee. (I'm not used to paying; that was tough.)
So the varsity game begins, and Seneca Valley, Madison's school, is pretty much dominating, so it's likely she's going to play. That's what everybody thought - my brother, my sister-in-law, my nephew, his friend, my parents and me. (The food at the concession stand was pretty decent, though.)
We waited.
And waited.
I looked at the clock and decided I better started heading home for the 3.5-hour trip.
Not five minutes into my drive, not even off campus because of construction, my cell phone rings. It's Pam, my sister-in-law. "She's in."
I didn't dare turn around; I know how much luck is in seeing Madison play soccer.
Guess I got lucky on Sunday.
She played OK; her mom said she had had streph throat earlier in the week, which is not a thing to have when a huge collection of college coaches are in attendance.
We arrived to see a ball ricocheting off the cross bar against her team.
Then after finding the relatives and setting up camp, we saw Madison get tripped in the goal box and a penalty called. She stepped up and put the ball into the lower left corner to give her team a 1-0 lead.
However, Empire United S.A. of Syracuse, N.Y. came away with a 4-1 victory.
I didn't really want to analyze the game with Madison, as I had taken care of that all game long, but I asked her if she takes all the penalty kicks or if it was because she was the one who was tripped. She said she wasn't waiting to hear from the coach, so she just stepped up to do it.
I shook my head, thinking, "We don't have a plan for this?"
She shrugged.
I shrugged.
We hugged.
Yes, I got to see Madison play.
Finally, after all of these years.

11 NCAA Div. III national team championships
Senior, volleyball
(What you won't find on Facebook...even if you are approved as a friend)
Hometown: Urbandale, Iowa
High School: Urbandale
Why Central?
I actually transferred to Central after my freshman year at the University of Iowa. When I began the transfer process, I knew I wanted to go to a smaller school where I would get more interaction with my professors. After talking to a couple of the professors during my visit, I knew Central would be the place where I could get what I wanted! As for volleyball, Coach Clayberg and my teammates made the choice much easier with their friendliness and acceptance of me. Besides, it doesn't hurt that Central is only a few blocks away from Jaarsma's Bakery!
Summer job
This past summer I spent most of my time getting observation hours for physical therapy school. When I wasn't in the hospitals and clinics getting the hours, I worked at my parents' company, Kamen Granite and Marble Tops. I love my parents to death but that might just be a bit too much time spent with them!
Favorite professor and why
Dr. Mark Mills has been my favorite professor at Central! In class, he made sure that his lectures were straight forward so what he taught us in class was on the test and there wasn't any trickery. Being a student-athlete causes me to miss some school, but Dr. Mills was extremely flexible in working with my schedule to ensure I never fell behind in his class. On top of that, he is a very nice, approachable teacher that never got annoyed with the ridiculous amount of questions I had on my math homework.
In your iPod
I literally have everything on my iPod from country to rap except hard metal! Lately, I've mostly been listening to Timeflies and the summer hits.
You're majoring in exercise science because…
I am planning on going to go to physical therapy school so I wanted a science major. I decided to go with exercise science instead of biology because I liked the angle on exercise/sports that it offered over biology!
Funniest person on the team and why
Madii Maddox for sure! She is one of those people that is straight forward and bluntly honest, which is rare to find these days. Everything is hilarious because she says things that others are thinking but wouldn't say, so seeing everyone's reactions is even better. The absolute best thing is her impersonation of Dora the Explorer! If you ever see her on campus or before or after a game, please ask her to do it because I guarantee it will make you laugh.
"This season I hope that…"
…Everything falls into place. Last year we had a lot of moments when we could have been dangerous but we couldn't connect all the aspects of the game! After letting go of many of the frustrations we encountered during the season, we were able to play the sport we love for fun again. Once we did that, things began to click and Central Volleyball became a dangerous opponent to play against.
Favorite athlete
Hands down, Peyton Manning but Philipp Lahm is right up there too. I think those are the only athletes/celebrities I would chase down the street to get to meet and I don't' like running so that's saying something if I'm willing to run after them!
Place you would most like to visit
This past semester I was fortunate enough to be able to study abroad in Bangor, Wales, which allowed me to travel to many different beautiful places! However, I never got the chance to make it to Africa so I would love to be able to travel to a couple of the countries there.
What do you like about being a defensive specialist and do you ever secretly wish you could play in the front row?
In high school, I actually did attempt to play front row but surely enough, I figured out I was too short and I couldn't jump. My mom actually broke that news to me early so I could switch to defense and focus on getting better in that area. As for the defense, I think my favorite part about being a DS is the fact that we're involved in almost every play whether it be receiving a serve or digging a hit. There is no better feeling than robbing a great hitter from getting a kill!
Favorite Central road trip
My favorite Central road trip has to be the volleyball trip to Colorado! In Colorado, we got to experience some tough, different competition on the volleyball court, go to the Garden of the Gods, and go whitewater rafting! Possibly the best part was the fact that the US Air Force Academy Football team just happened to be staying at our hotel as well...I don't think a single girl complained about that! As for Coach Kent, I'm not sure what his thoughts on that were!
The one thing people don't know about coach Kent Clayberg, aside from his endless fascination with studying volleyball video, as well as his ability to exist for an entire season living on hot dogs and Dr. Pepper
I think Coach Kent has set the world record in the amount of questions he can ask in one conversation. It's not bad to ask a lot of questions, but we never know if it's a legitimate question or a rhetorical question. It's funny because as a freshman you think long and hard for the best answer. By senior year, you sit there and don't say a word because even after three years, you still can't tell the difference. It's safe to say I'm in the "sit and nod" phase…still haven't figured out the difference in his questions!
Favorite TV show
SCANDAL on ABC and The Blacklist on NBC. When I want a good laugh, I'll watch an episode of Big Bang Theory or Friends!
Why you love Central volleyball
As cheesy as it sounds, Central volleyball has become my second family. My teammates have become some of my closest friends and my coaches have become people I can depend on for the rest of my life. Every day they remind me to choose joy and be a blessing in someone else's life, which only inspires me to be a better person.
"Ten years from now I'll…"
Honestly, I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow let alone 10 years from now! I'll be 31 so hopefully I have a physical therapy career, a family, and a dog. Oh, hopefully by then I would have travelled more of the world. Oh boy, I guess we are just going to have to wait and see what happens!
Favorite cafeteria food
There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING, in the cafeteria that can beat fresh cookie Tuesday. What could possibly be better than a hot, melty cookie with ice cream?

I live with my mother is a housewife and my dad is on around 26k a year so I might I dunno.
Do you expect to earn more than your parents?
|Posted on
|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
View Poll Results: Do you think you will earn more than your parents?Yes15080.65%No3619.35%
Are people really this shallow? o.O
Offline2ReputationRep:(Original post by Frodo Baggins)
My dad earns about 70K and my mum is a housewife. My mum was one of the senior managers at MARS (chocolate etc) and could have earned so much. I hope to be an investment banker and so i should earn more.
I was earning more than my mum by the time I was 19.
As other people have mentioned though - this doesn't necessarily mean much since she was able to get a mortgage for £50,000 and buy a house in the late nineties which in the last ten years probably tripled in value.
My dad's ridiculously clever (top first at Cambridge -.-) and although he never chased money and stayed in academia. His dabbling in companies as a consultant puts me way off him tbh. So no I don't expect to, even if I actively chase it I would be fortunate to even reach his level.
Yes, I will. Both my parents are working class, my mother has never been trained or qualified in any profession. No one in my family has gone to university like I will be doing. I see my working class background as a constant reminder that if I want my life to be better, and possibly the life of any children I have to be better, then I have to work hard at what I decide to do and become successful. Success does not imply that I just want to accumulate wealth, because I don't. As another posted said, I would accept a lesser paid job doing something that I enjoyed rather than earn more for a job that I hated or found unbearably stressful and destroyed my personal life.
veering off a tangent, it drives me insane that people in my college think when they finish uni they will immediately land 40k/50k jobs , I don't know why it bothers me so much, but it does, probably because they scoff at the salary prospects of my desired job.
Back to the point, I was practically raised my brother, so I'm going to refer to his salary, he just graduated from med school last year, so right now he's on 25k to 30k (ish), I feel like I can hit that salary one day (fingers crossed), but whereas he can expect his salary to exponentially increase, I don't think the salary of a researcher can get too much higher than that, but I don't know.
My career goal at the minute is to earn more than my mother. Hopefully this shouldn't be too hard because she's a nurse...
My parents are quite well off, so in reality I probably won't earn more until I'm old
But yeah, I want to earn wayyyyyy more. Bring in the money ££££££££
If I do, I will bloody do all I can to help support them! I know that they would do the same for me.
In short, probably yes but I don't think the question is the right one to ask?
If I don't I'd be very concerned - we've been living on benefits for as long as I can remember and I'm determined that, unless we have the same circumstances as my parents, I'll never have to live like that.
No for a number of reasons: 1. I don't have the same level of ambition, 2. My career aims aren't as financially based, 3. The economy being what it is I think salaries are a lot more conservative now (companies playing it safe with hiring)
Yes, definitely because sadly income wise they're not a very hard act to follow...
My Mum earns about £15,000, maybe less. So yes, I except to earn more than my Mum.
My Dad earns around £30,000. I know I won't earn more than him straight away after uni, but some day I hope to.
I love how I now know how much my parents earn after years of filling out these long student loan forms.
My parents earn a total of £16000 combined, now you give me the answer to the question!
I don't expect to. They once had enough money to go mincing round the globe as they pleased with s****y architect friends, which slowly dwindled as my brother and I came into the equation.
I don't have any set career path or plans so who knows. Generally speaking what I would like to be vaguely involved in career-wise isn't notorious for being able to get a well paying job. But I'd rather get by with a job I love than be rich with a job I don't.
What! It bleeped out 'sw.anky' That's one of my favourite adjectives.
The education system failed my mum, she has one 'O-level' in needle-work...
She's now a full-time carer for my disabled father.
So yes, after hopefully completing a University education, I will earn more than my parents. But this is because I have had the opportunities that they did not.
My dad left school at 15 or 16 and has done various jobs including postman,carpet fitter,driving instructor and plasterer. He is now a warehouse operator (drives forklift trucks at a place that distributes books). Not sure of his exact salary,but I know it's not much at all. The thing that keeps him going is the fact that his Royal Mail pension is pretty good
My mum has decent qualifications (O-Levels and got some other various qualifications via Open University) and is now a Nurse. Again, I don't know her exact salary. However looking at the NHS website and guessing which band she falls into, I'd say it's about £30,000.
However I'm going to be ambitious and say I want to earn more than this..not sure what the reality will be though
My mom is on around £40k and my dad and step-dad are on about the same. I'd like to earn more but I don't think I will. We're pretty comfortable anyway so I'd be happy if I got something like that eventually

Deisler said DKI officials have recently fielded questions about why the public has to pay for parking, how to get to available parking, why they enforce it and why so many different types of parking exist downtown.
"With some of the recent calls we get and concerns, we just felt like it was a good time to offer it again," Deisler said. "We're getting ready for a busy spring, summer and fall season."
Daily and monthly parking rates in downtown parking lots increased about 5 percent March 1, after approval by the Kalamazoo Downtown Development Authorrity. The authority rejected a proposal to extend paid nighttime parking that had included charging a $3 flat fee for cars in attended and unattended lots downtown from 9 p.m. to midnight on weeknights and 10 p.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday.

The landscape of the NFL today does not make it easy on guys with a propensity for hard hits. This specialized crop of hard-hitters could also populate a list of guys who are most likely to pay the most money in fines.
But hey, there are still a few inches left on a football player's body that can still be hit at full speed. This is a slideshow dedicated to the infamous players with a reputation for pain. Perhaps the last of a dying breed.

quote: Seriously, how does the ribbon require more hunting around than the old File/Edit/Tools/View menus when you couldn't see any commands? What commands do you use that are so hard to find? Some of them even pop up automatically when you highlight. Are you generally against visual interfaces? You can still use keyboard shortcuts as much as ever. I see all these comments from people saying after years they still aren't familiar or comfortable with the new interface, but apparently they were comfortable with the old interface where you opened a menu, brought up a separate box with multiple tabs (in some cases on two axis) and found your command in one of those combinations, then closed the box and opened a different one for another command. Either you're not getting it out of stubbornness, or you really aren't capable of adjusting to interface changes in general. I get that people had learned the old versions and were comfortable with it. That doesn't mean something new can't be better, at least for the majority of people. If that were the case we wouldn't have GUI's at all.

Half-Minute Hero (勇者30 Yūsha Sanjū?, lit. "Hero 30") is a hybrid real-time strategy/action RPG/shoot 'em up developed by Marvelous Entertainment.[2] It was initially released as a PlayStation Portable exclusive in Japan on May 28, 2009,[3] in North America on October 13, 2009[4][5] and in Europe on February 19, 2010. It was re-released on the Xbox Live Arcade on June 29, 2011 under the title Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax.[6]
A sequel, Yūsha 30 Second, was released in Japan on August 4, 2011.[7] It was localized by Marvelous USA and released on Steam on April 4, 2014 as Half-Minute Hero: The Second Coming.
Half-Minute Hero's single player mode features 6 different game modes. Each mode is based on one part of a larger story, and as such, the last three modes are not available until the player has completed the first three modes; these last three modes are then unlocked in order after completing the previous mode. Each mode centers around a mechanic based on a limited amount of time (normally 30 seconds as implied by the game's title) to complete that part of the game.[8]
- Hero 30 Mode plays similar to a role-playing video game. The player, as the Hero, is tasked by the Time Goddess to become powerful enough in 30 seconds to find and defeat an enemy boss that is seeking to cast a spell of destruction that will end the world in 30 seconds. To do so, the Hero explores an overworld, encountering random monsters with battles that take place automatically based on the Hero's current equipment to gain experience levels. The Hero can enter towns where the Time Goddess will pause time, allowing for time to shop for equipment and health items, talk to residents and find allies to help in battle, as well to pay money to a statue of the Goddess to reset the countdown timer to 30 seconds. Each successive use of this power becomes more costly to the player. There are 30 missions in this mode which are completed in succession; the player can go back to previous missions to try to better their performance or find additional equipment that will carry over into future missions; however, the player cannot use equipment gained on later missions during an earlier mission.
- Evil Lord 30 Mode plays similar to a real-time strategy game. The player controls Evil Lord who can summon three types of creatures, Brawlers, Shooters, and Nimbles, to fight enemy forces and complete a task. The monster strengths are based on a Rock-paper-scissors approach; Nimbles are strong against Shooters and weak against Brawlers, for example. The overall strength of summoned creatures is based on the size of a mana ring that is shown around the Evil Lord character; summoning creatures and taking damage reduces the size of this ring. Wandering creatures can be brought into the Evil Lord's control by moving the mana ring over them. Due to his nature, the Evil Lord can only be out-of-doors for 30 seconds at a time, thus enforcing a 30-second countdown timer, but by paying money gained from defeating enemies to barrels where the Time Goddess is waiting, the countdown timer can be reset. There are also 30 missions to complete in this mode, but include branching paths.
- Princess 30 Mode plays similar to a Shoot 'em up game. The player controls the Princess who is equipped with a rapid-fire crossbow as her main weapon, and a number of guards that carry and protect her as she ventures out of the castle to get items to help her ailing father. However, she is imposed with a 30-second curfew, and her speed is dictated by the number of guards in her group; running into enemies will cause guards to fall out of the group, though the Princess can never be directly harmed. The Time Goddess has provided stretches of red carpets which, while the Princess is over them, will roll back the countdown timer but cost money to do so. The 30 missions are provided in a branching manner, with some missions leading to the ability to boost the crossbow's power or increase the running speed of the guards.
- Knight 30 Mode is an action video game, where the player controls a Knight who has vowed to help protect a Sage. The Sage has the ability to cast a spell of destruction that takes 30 seconds (though need not be continuous) to evoke; the Knight is tasked with defending the Sage during this time. This can be done by ramming into or throwing objects at enemies to stun them, or carrying the Sage to a safe location (during which the Sage cannot continue the spell). Certain levels features bells that distract the Sage and reset the spell's timer, but they can be destroyed by the Knight. If the Sage takes too much damage, the player must start the level over. The 30 missions in this mode must be completed in order.
- Hero 300 Mode is similar to Hero 30 Mode, but the player has 300 seconds to complete the single mission of this mode. The Time Goddess is not available in this mode, and furthermore, certain areas of the map become inaccessible every 60 seconds of the game, requiring the player to continue moving to find and defeat the final boss as fast as possible.
- Hero 3 Mode is also similar to Hero 30 Mode, but the player only starts with 3 seconds to reach and defeat the boss in the mode's single mission. Unlike Hero 300, the Time Goddess is available to reset time as necessary.
There is also a limited multiplayer mode in which two heroes can fight to complete a quest before the other. The multiplayer mode features three stages in which the two players will fight to collect power ups and level up in order to fight the Evil Lord at the end.[8]
Half-Minute Hero was originally a downloadable freeware game called "30-Second Hero", whose concept was adopted by the producer for a PSP title. It was designed to be a quirky adaptation of the traditional, lengthy role-playing video game formula into 30 second intervals. The 8-bit graphics were designed to appear "old-school", resembling 8-bit RPGs such as early Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy games, and make the player use their imagination.[9]
The soundtrack of Half-Minute Hero features contributions from many well known Japanese game composers. They include Toshihiko Takamizawa, Yoshino Aoki, Hideki Asanaka, Kakeru Ishihama, Hiroyuki Iwatsuki, Yuzo Koshiro, Motoi Sakuraba, Koji Hayama, Norihiko Hibino, Takushi Hiyamuta, Kenji Fujisawa, Hiromi Mizutani, Yasumasa Yamada, Yasuo Yamate, Biei Morioka, Toru Nakagawa, Minako Adachi, and Megumi Komagata.
Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax[edit]
Half-Minute Hero was re-released for the XBLA on June 29, 2011 as Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax. This version contains the "Super Mega Neo Climax" mode which allows the game to be played with enhanced graphics more akin to anime than 8-bit RPGs. Additionally, the "Evil Lord 30," "Princess 30," and "Knight 30" modes have been significantly reworked. Instead of the altering game styles found in the PSP version, the XBLA versions of these modes are identical in play style to "Hero 30" and feature only one level. The "Hero 30" campaign does have 6 new quests stemming from the "Treasure Land" stage, though. These quests involve the Overlord being awakened early and the hero has to acquire the aid of the five time beasts, however these levels also replace the "Another Goddess" stage found in the original version. The sound test mode, art gallery, and bestiary have also been removed from the XBLA version, normally unlocked after completing "Hero 3" in the PSP version.
Other changes include the addition of achievements, online multiplayer, as well as possible future downloadable content.
Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy[edit]
Half-Minute Hero was re-released for the PC on Steam and Playism on September 27, 2012 as Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy. This version is a compilation of almost all of the game modes that featured in the previous releases with the exception of the Another Goddess and Valhalla Knights stages.
A sequel titled Yūsha 30 Second was released in Japan for the PSP on August 4, 2011. It was localized by Marvelous USA and released on Windows via Steam on April 4, 2014 as Half-Minute Hero: The Second Coming.
Critical reception[edit]
Half-Minute Hero received positive reviews. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the PSP version 84.32%[10] and 84/100[11] respectively.
Half-Minute Hero won several awards from RPG-focused websites.

This is a huge victory for Indian Country! After the House approved the HEARTH Act in May, the Senate recently approved identical legislation which Native Americans and fellow advocates have been working towards for a long time. Now it goes to the President desk to be signed into law.
The Senate has passed one version of the "Farm Bill" and the House is now considering another version. The bill includes essential anti-hunger programs which have been threatened with serious cuts in funding in both versions of the bill. Many Native Americans would be deeply affected by these cuts.
The Department of Education recently released a report which describes the condition of education for American Indian and Alaska Native students in the United States. Efforts to pass the CLASS Act, legislation that would improve education in Indian Country, are stalled in Congress.
The good news is that funding for Native American programs has fared relatively well so far. None of the appropriations bills are expected to make it through the whole process - they'll form the basis for some kind of spending agreement in September.

The dancing rabbis returned Sept. 12 at the 24th annual Chabad L'Chaim -- To Life! Telethon. The program was beamed into homes in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas and on the Dish Network.
The telethon raised more than $5.8 million for Chabad's social services on the West Coast, which includes a drug rehab center, 110 community outreach centers, more than 25 day schools and 40 summer camps, homeless programs and crisis intervention.
This year, telethon co-chairman Jerry Weintraub, producer of the upcoming "Oceans Twelve," introduced Jerry's Place. The new Chabad program will provide a place to stay for families of patients at the UCLA Medical Center, so they can be close by while their loved ones are convalescing.
"You don't have to be Jewish to be helped by Chabad," Weintraub said. "Chabad helps everyone."
Highlights of the telethon included the Miami Boys Choir dressed in metallic green vests and bopping away to Hebrew songs, and a clip that featured former "Friends" star Matt LeBlanc sitting on a couch with his "Joey" co-star Drea DeMatteo and calling the telethon to donate a matzah.
The telethon was co-hosted by actress Mindy Sterling, Israeli singing star Dudu Fisher and radio talk show host Dennis Prager. It included appearances by Jerry Lewis, Dick Van Dyke, Vic "The Brick" Jacobs, Joshua Molina, Lori Petty, Bruno Kirby, Bill Bellamy, Steve Harvey, Shawn Green, Max Alexander, Craig Fergusen, Elon Gold, and Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa.
The old telethon favorites were also on hand, like actor Jon Voight, who narrated a video clip about Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, the late Lubavitcher rebbe who was the spiritual leader of the Chabad movement. Voight is not Jewish, but his association with Chabad has almost made him an honorary member of the tribe.
Actor Elliot Gould made his way down to the studio to do his part for the telethon. Gould told The Journal that he always likes to help out Chabad when Rabbi Boruch Shlomo Cunin asks him. Cunin is the director of West Coast Chabad Lubavitch and is known for being the first one to kick up his heels every time the telethon tote board flashes a new total.
Pint-sized cuties Evan and Darryl "Spy Kid" Sabara appeared live again this year. Darryl, sporting a mop of orange-colored curls, told The Journal that the two are going to be celebrating their b'nai mitzvah next year and will do so with a trip to Israel and Europe.
"Joey" and "Friends" producer Kevin Bright also appeared on the telethon, along with his children and parents. Bright, the telethon's creative executive and segment producer, is a big financial supporter of Chabad activities in California.
In between the Chasidic dancing to celebrate the tote board totals, a number of musicians took center stage. Among them, Perry Farrell, Bruce Adler, Chasidic reggae artist Matisyahu, The Mighty Echoes, Ron Eliran, Neil Sedaka, Avraham Fried and Daniel Rodriguez. Adam Lambert, who plays Joshua in the new musical, "The Ten Commandments," at the Kodak Theater, debuted the song, "Is Anybody Listening?"
The politicos came on board, too. Los Angeles City Councilman Jack Weiss, Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo, Police Chief Bill Bratton and his wife, Rikki Klieman and three Los Angeles mayoral candidates -- Mayor James K. Hahn, City Councilman Antonio Villaraigosa and former Assembly Speaker Robert Hertzberg -- urged viewers to get out their checkbooks and donate to Chabad.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's representative, Michelle Kleinert, deputy director of community affairs, read a letter from the governor congratulating Chabad on its 24th telethon and wishing the Jewish community a happy New Year.
This year, the dancing rabbi telethon logo got a groovy makeover from artist Andre Miripolsky. Miripolsky, who has designed advertising campaigns for Absolut Vodka, redrew the rabbi and covered his form with designs of open hands and had him juggling a Star of David, a peace sign and a globe. He also designed special yarmulkes for telethon participants that were covered with paint spikes.
"When the Chabad rabbis came down to the studio to see the design, they freaked out, because it turned out there were 18 hands inside the body," said Miripolsky, noting that 18 is the Hebrew numerical equivalent of chai, life, which is a telethon theme. "I can't take subconscious credit for that. I am not observant, but Chabad considers me a Chasid, because my energy and my spirit are what they are all about."
