2011 NACCS-Tejas Regional Conference
South Texas College, McAllen, Texas
24-26 February 2011
The Mexican American Studies Program at South Texas College is accepting submissions for papers, exhibits, performances, or cultural productions for the 2011 NACCS Tejas Regional Conference at South Texas College. The year 1971 can be considered a turning point in Chicana activism as a group of Chicana leaders from across the United States came together to voice their concerns as women. These concerns stemmed from discrimination in the home, work place, school, and within the Chicano Movement itself. Other issues addressed at the conference included concerns over healthcare and the relationship to other feminist movements and sexuality. These women, numbering in the hundreds, united and disunited in Houston, and sought various resolutions to their concerns as they strived for social, cultural, racial, gender, and sexual equality. This is the historical spirit that will be celebrated and examined during the 2011 NACCS Tejas Regional Conference that will be held on the 24th through the 26th of February at South Texas College. The NACCS Tejas Regional conference will provide a forum through which we can collectively explore the past, present, and future of Chicana activism.
While the primary theme for the conference centers on analyzing and reflecting on Chicana activism, other topics related to the Chicana/o, Latina/o, or Mexican American experience are also welcomed. A 100-250 word abstract should be submitted for the paper, panel, exhibit, performance, or other.
Deadline for Submissions: December 7, 2010
Send questions and proposals electronically to Victor Gomez at email@example.com

The Owen County Rebels in one week felt both the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Unfortunately, the latter came Saturday night in the 31st District Championship game.
On Wednesday night, the Rebels needed a pair of Blake Lewis free throws to take a 34-32 lead with just under five seconds remaining. Then they had to watch as a Henry County three-pointer just missed in order to advance to the championship game.
If you like the number three, then Gallatin County High School was the place to be Friday night.
The Owen County Lady Rebels used three-point shooting to beat Carroll County for the third time this season en route to capturing their third straight 31st District Championship.
For everyone involved, it was the perfect trifecta.
"Three-peat, baby," Owen County freshman Hannah Neeley said after the game.
It was a strange week for the senior boy's basketball players.
Due to bad weather, the game with Walton-Verona scheduled for earlier in the week had to be postponed until Saturday afternoon. That meant that Senior Night on Thursday night against Trimble County would not be the boy's last home game.
Six Rebels were recognized before the start of Thursday night's game. Blake Lewis, Kyle Kelly, Jordan Shelton, Lucas Shelton, Michael Colligan and Ethan Lloyd were honored for their accomplishments both on and off the court.
Owen County High School Head Girls Basketball Coach Bob Osborne would like to bottle up the first quarter of Friday night's game with Grant County and take it with him into next week's 31st District Tournament. He also might want to find a way to leave the second quarter in Owenton.
The Lady Rebels began the night by honoring three seniors. Emilie Davis, Eko Kemper and Jensen Wainscott were each recognized before taking the court for the final time at home.
Tournament time has arrived for high school basketball in the Bluegrass. Teams from all across the state begin play this week with one goal in mind. For the boys, they want to earn a trip to Rupp Arena while the girls are hoping to reach Diddle Arena in Bowling Green.
For the Rebels and Lady Rebels, their journey begins in Gallatin County at the 31st District Tournament.
The girls opened up play Tuesday against Henry County while the boys will tip things off Wednesday against Henry County.
While the varsity teams decide district superiority this week at Gallatin County, it is clear who reigns supreme when it comes to the freshman and junior varsity teams. The Owen County Lady Rebels won both championships.
The freshman team brought home the 31st District trophy by defeating Carroll County in the semifinals and Gallatin County in the finals.
Against the home team Lady Panthers, the Lady Rebels were led by Madison Gamble's 14 points as they won the game 32-21.
A trio of Owen County basketball players has been named to their respective All 8th Region Teams.
Rianna Gayheart was named to the girls' team. The sophomore averaged 12.5 points and 3.8 rebounds during the regular season. She shot 72 percent from the free-throw line and led the team in three-pointers with 36. This is the second-straight year Gayheart has been given this honor.
A member of the Owen County football team will be continuing his career next year when he heads to college.
Senior Tyler Pruitt signed last week to play football at Eastern Kentucky University.
Pruitt was an integral part of the Owen County football program over the last four years. The senior played both offense and defense for the Rebels and was known for always being where the ball was.
Owen County High School Head Coach Adam Fowler, who coached Pruitt the last two years, had high praise for his player.
The Owen County Lady Rebels were not in class much last week due to inclement weather. On Friday night, however, they did give Trimble County a lesson on domination.
The Lady Rebels won the opening tip and never looked back against the Lady Raiders. Hannah Neeley hit a 3-pointer as the buzzer sounded on the first quarter to give Owen County a 16-2 lead. The Lady Rebels were not finished as they went on to win the game 51-33.
It had been a while since the Owen County Rebels had been on the basketball court against an opponent. The Rebels last game prior to last week was Feb. 2 at Williamstown.
On Thursday night, road crews got enough of the snow removed to enable the Rebels to make their way to Walton-Verona. The Bearcats came into the game still riding high after winning the 8th Region All "A" Classic and advancing to the quarterfinals in Richmond.

Current News
Fall 2015 UPDATE - 25 Years!
Words are more potent to lift up, encourage, edify or tear down and destroy than we probably ever realize. Proverbs 18:21 tells us that the power of life and death are in the power of the tongue. And for those of you who are married to, or are one yourselves…one whose love language is "words of affirmation"… then you do realize that a word can empower you or make you powerless. I am married to one of those…for now 30 years and I still must remind myself that a mere word of affirming who she is, what she does or looks like can change my world! Because it changes hers.
Not sure why this letter starts this way, except maybe I want to express in my typed words, how much Tammy & I and our children think of what the Body of Christ and the Lord have done for us in the first 25 years of Aten Ministries. Where to begin? In 1990, the Lord led this very young couple in life and in marriage to launch out into what many thought was a strange, little crazy, unintelligent choice, to leave the stability of two well-paying ministry positions and live on offerings and charitable gifts (with a 2 yr-old mind ya) and travel around in a 35 ft. pull trailer and a suburban; both of which the Lord provided in obvious miraculous form to equip us to do what was His idea to begin with. I guess that's been the difference in the journey, rather than choosing to do something out of mere common sense and desire; but all the difference made when He births the thing. You can bet a 100% guarantee of success in His eyes… and even in ours and those around us who were watching the tiny steps by steps of faith we were taking. That doesn't mean that we have not run out of the circle over the years and chosen wisely every turn, but in the end, the overall result is one that we still anticipate hearing, "Well done." Tammy's words that have been spoken hundreds of times in testimony still ring true. "I do not want to have lived my life to be 80 years old one day, and not have known that I did what I was made to do. Whether it made sense, was safe or not." There was & is no greater peace. Experiencing God came into our lives at the perfect time, and we launched out on Thanksgiving Day, 1990 for what has now been 25 years of an on-going GOD thing in our lives.
And because of that, His peace has been what's carried us day by day; especially lately when our inner circle seems to have been hit by an atomic bomb of sickness, death, division and divorce. All those things have happened simultaneously in both of our families. We appreciate the prayers for Tammy's mom, Jo, who we see not ever going back to her house, but now back to her home, Floydada. She's been here in Granbury since July, but improved enough to be able to now have her own apartment in an assisted living (BEEHIVE, formerly Shepherd of the Meadows) back home in Floydada. God knows we have struggled, but He has carried us with clear direction today. She has rebounded with a touch of dementia, but stable… 83 Years young!
And in edifying the Lord for what He's done, we want to say to you that this quarter of a century of ministry would not have been possible had it not been for the generous hearts and spirits that you have demonstrated to us as a family and ministry. It really is a milestone in human opinion, but we have witnessed some great examples in this life of faith. We are convinced in 2015 that we are to continue pressing on wherever the Lord leads with Aten Ministries. He's still allowing us, in a day of fewer "revivals" and overall spiritual apathy, to have a full schedule of opportunities when in season. Provision after provision; even time off to take care of Tammy's mom was determined before-hand. Your faithful giving, month by month, year by year has carried us to more than 2000 churches in the US and over 10 foreign countries.
Thousands have come to Christ, new churches have been birthed and even more have been strengthened spiritually and in marriage & family commitment. Somehow God's accounting department sees every dollar and intention sent our way and makes the deposit in your stead, after multiplying it for us.
Thank you. God has loved us through you. He has blessed us through you. He has carried us through you and He has worked supernaturally through what you have given. And NOW is the time to celebrate ALL these things with 2 anniversary celebrations we have planned for the month of November. First, November 7, 2015 will be for the Granbury/East area here at our church in Acton. Second, November 14 will be for the Lubbock/west area at the Spirit Ranch in Lubbock. You are invited to join us for one (or both!) as we thank the Lord and each of you for such faithfulness to us and to the Gospel.
Our family is excited and looking forward To November!
With Gratefulness…

Results tagged ' Matt Lindstrom '
Lindstrom still closing … for now
It wasn't a ringing endorsement, but it was an endorsement, just the same.
Marlins closer Matt Lindstrom was relieved with the bases loaded and two outs on Saturday night, and ultimately Leo Nunez worked out of the jam in a 5-4 win over the Giants at Land Shark Stadium.
Even though Lindstrom is 11 of 13 in save chances, and he's recorded eight straight saves, the hard-throwing right-hander has struggled with command.
He walked two and filled the bases before handing the ball over to Nunez, who now has two saves this year.
Asked afterwards if there were a save situation on Sunday, who would get the ball? Gonzalez answered at that specific time — after 11 p.m. ET on Saturday — it likely would be Lindstrom.
Obviously, that is subject to change. And there is a catch with the question.
Gonzalez directly answered the specific question — who would close on Sunday? Well, Nunez likely won't be available on Sunday because he's pitched in three straight games. So that could play in Lindstrom's favor.
The unanswered question is: What happens if all things are equal?
Another possibility is Kiko Calero, who has been heavily used in a seventh inning setup role.
Ultimately, Gonzalez may play the matchups or who has the hot hand. The Marlins could have the makings of a committee situation.
Lindstrom clearly has the talent to close. It's a matter of him finding the consistency.
Gonzalez made this much clear after the game: "My responsibility as a manager is to 25 guys, and the Florida Marlins, not just one guy. We're trying to get the win for the club."
— Joe Frisaro
Owens suspension almost up
On Saturday afternoon, the Marlins will face the Mets at Citi Field.
It will mark the 50th game of the season, an important number for right-hander Henry Owens, because it marks the last game of his suspension.
On Nov. 11, 2008, it was announced that Owens tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance in violation of MLB's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
The 30-year-old last pitched in the big leagues in 2007. He currently is pitching for Class A Jupiter, where he has made one appearance — a scoreless inning — as he builds his innings back up.
For players who were suspended 50-games before the start of the season, their earliest return date is June 1 — or Monday.
The hard-throwing right-hander won't get a call up within the next week, but he could become a welcomed addition to the bullpen as the season progresses.
The Marlins acquired Owens and Matt Lindstrom from the Mets on Nov. 22, 2006 for Jason Vargas and Adam Bostick.
— Joe Frisaro
Bonifacio back leading off
Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez gave serious thought to hitting Chris Coghlan leadoff again on Tuesday, but ultimately opted to go with Emilio Bonifacio.
So after being given Monday off, Bonifacio was back in his familiar leadoff spot, while Coghlan was slotted eighth.
"Boni's speed is his weapon," Gonzalez said. "You put him in the eight hole and you kind of negate that."
The feeling is Coghlan, a pure hitter, will be able to handle batting in front of the pitcher.
Gonzalez added that Coghlan is a second option to lead off on days Bonifacio doesn't.
Tuesday's lineup:
1) Bonifacio, 3B
2) Hermida, RF
3) Hanley, SS
4) Cantu, 1B
5) Baker, C
6) Uggla, 2B
7) Ross, CF
8) Coghlan, LF
9) Miller, P
Gonzalez is hoping to stay away from using relievers Dan Meyer and Matt Lindstrom on Tuesday. Kiko Calero is a candidate to close if Lindstrom isn't used.
Also of note, Baker's right leg, below the knee, has huge scrape marks. He had the skin torn off in the area when he was thrown out sliding into home plate on Sunday against Tampa Bay.
— Joe Frisaro
Mets Manuel fined
The Marlins asked MLB to look into the delay tactic by the Mets on Wednesday, and a decision has been rendered.
MLB has fined Mets manager Jerry Manuel an undisclosed amount of money for violating the leagues "pace of game" regulations.
In the ninth inning on Wednesday at Citi Field, the Mets took a long time getting pinch-hitter Omir Santos to the plate with the bases loaded and two outs. A catcher, Santos was in the bullpen, which is behind the outfield wall.
With two outs, Marlins closer Matt Lindstrom was left waiting for several minutes on the mound as Santos made his way to the plate.
Santos lifted a pop out to shortstop, and the Marlins won 4-3. Still, the delay upset the Marlins, who asked MLB to look into the matter.
There are "pace of game" rules designed to speed the game up.
The Marlins had no comment on the MLB decision.
— Joe Frisaro
Gregg offers Lindstrom advice
For two years, Kevin Gregg was a veteran presense who offered advice to Matt Lindstrom.
This season, Lindstrom has replaced Gregg as the Marlins closer. Gregg, meanwhile, is pitching for the Cubs. The two had a long conversation at Wrigley Field on Thursday.
"He's learning on the job now," Gregg said. "He's got the reins full time. Obviously, he has the stuff. Now it's just figuring out how to use his stuff, and bouncing back day-to-day. You're not going to be perfect out there."
Lindstrom is 5-for-7 in save chances, but his most disappointing outing came on April 24 against the Phillies. The hard-throwing Lindstrom entered in the ninth inning with Florida ahead 3-0, but he was tagged for seven runs, including a grand slam to Shane Victorino.
"When he gave up those seven runs against Philly, that's part of the lumps you've got to take," Gregg said before the Marlins faced the Cubs on Friday. "You've got to learn what you're doing, and how to control it.
"That stuff happens quick. One thing, you've got to get out of that inning. Secondly, then you've got to come back the next day. The game is going to come after you right away. He bounced back, and he's throwing well."
While Lindstrom has logged two straight saves since he suffered that loss to the Phillies, he had to wait four days before taking the mound again. That opportunity came on Tuesday in New York, and he closed out the ninth.
"There are times when you don't want to stew on it, but there are also times that it's good for you," Gregg said. "You have to know what that feeling is like, because you don't want to do that. You don't want to repeat that ever. But, I think that made him tougher, and realize, 'Hey, I've got to attack the hitters, and go after them.' That's what he showed in New York."
— Joe Frisaro
Delay prompting Marlin reaction
The delay the Mets used to get pinch-hitter Omir Santos to the plate in the ninth inning on Wednesday at Citi Field is not going away without a Marlin reaction.
Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez on Thursday said the organization is in the process of contacting Major League Baseball for a response on what action could have been taken by the umpires.
"We, the Marlins, will talk to Major League Baseball because it could happen to somebody else," Gonzalez said. "Just to make them aware. I don't know if they could do something. I don't know if they could put a clock on it. I don't know. To go to the extreme of striking the guy out, without him being there."
Baseball does have "pace of the game" rules. But to the Marlins knowledge, that applies, for example, when a player is on deck and he is taking too long to get into the batter's box. If a delay is taking too long, an umpire could start having strikes called on the batter, even if no one is in the box.
On Wednesday, Santos was being called upon to pinch-hit for Ramon Castro with two outs and the bases loaded. Santos was in the bullpen warming up pitchers, and it took him several minutes to arrive to the dugout to get ready to hit.
Meanwhile, closer Matt Lindstrom was left on the mound. The umpires tried to hurry up the action, and Lindstrom was told he could throw a few warmup pitches.
The Marlins held on to win, 4-3, when Santos lifted a routine pop that was collected by shortstop Alfredo Amezaga for the final out.
The Marlins were worried that Lindstrom was being iced on the mound.
— Joe Frisaro
Lindstrom not available Saturday
Matt Lindstrom still is the Marlins closer. But not for Saturday night.
Manager Fredi Gonzalez is staying away from using Lindstrom on Saturday because he threw 38 pitches in the ninth inning in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Phillies.
Lindstrom was tagged for all seven runs in the ninth inning, including a grand slam to Shane Victorino and a solo shot to Chase Utley.
Because of the high pitch count, Lindstrom was given Saturday off. Still, Gonzalez says about Lindstrom, "There's something special there."
A closer for the first time, Lindstrom is 3-for-5 this season in save chances, and he's converted eight of 13 in his career.
The Marlins are being patient with Lindstrom, letting him grow into the role.
"You can't simulate that seventh inning," Gonzalez said. "I looked it up. He's only had 13 opportunities."
The pressures of the ninth inning just aren't the same as in the seventh or eighth. Gonzalez notes that starting pitchers feel the same heat while trying to get through the necessary five innings to qualify for a win.
"It's the ninth inning for the closers and the teams, and it's the fifth inning for the starters," Gonzalez said. "How many times do you see the starters go out there, and all a sudden they say, 'If I get one more hitter, I get the W?' Then all of a sudden, it's like base on balls, and 25 pitches later."
Lindstrom watched some video of his performance on Friday, because he wanted to see the location of his pitches. He admitted to having a rough night of sleep.
"I've got to stop getting behind hitters," Lindstrom said. "I've never had an inning like that. Never like that. Not even in the Minor Leagues.
"There were quite a few pitches I'd want back from last night. Pitches I threw with not a lot of conviction, just because my stuff was a little more difficult to harnass last night."
Lindstrom said his fastball was cutting five or six pitches away from the plate.
"Then I'd have to ease one in there to throw a strike," Lindstrom said. "That's not going to cut it, especially when these guys are timing it, timing it and timing it."
Leo Nunez is the strongest candidate to close, but Gonzalez said he would play matchups.
Camping out Saturday
The final day of Spring Training in a nutshell:
* Tied 1-1 with Toronto. 2:05 time of game.
* Marlins finished Spring Training with a 12-19-2 Grapefruit League record.
* Matt Lindstrom threw an inning in a Minor League game, and he will be on the Opening Day roster. The only drawback for Lindstrom, who has nursed a strained right rotator cuff, is he won't be used in back-to-back games, at least early in the year. Lindstrom also isn't expected to pitch more than one inning in his role as closer.
* Prospect Michael Stanton, who will be at Class A Jupiter, was 1-for-2 with a single and walk on Saturday. Matt Dominguez also got in the game. Both will be in Jupiter.
* Anibal Sanchez gave up no runs on two hits in three innings.
* Dan Uggla got in a pinch-hit. Uggla has been bothered by a tight left calf. He will be ready for Monday.
* Alfredo Amezaga, sprained left knee, did some running from first-to-third on Saturday. He also hit in the cage. He will open on the DL, and should miss seven to 10 days.
* Emilio Bonifacio finished Grapefruit League play with 86 at-bats, the most on the Marlins and one of the highest of any player in the league.
* Cameron Maybin turned 22 on Saturday.
— Joe Frisaro
Final roster set
Barring anything not on the immediate horizon, the Marlins' 25-man roster is set.
It's actually the exact 25 I named last night in an earlier blog.
The new developments on Friday were the roster moves to get the team down to 25,
Reliever Carlos Martinez was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans, and reliever Brian Sanches was reassigned to Minor League camp.
The bad news of the night was right-hander Rick VandenHurk is going on the disabled list with right elbow discomfort. VandenHurk last pitched on March 28 against the Mets at Port St. Lucie, and he tossed a a scoreless inning of relief, walking two and striking out one.
VandenHurk missed time with the Marlins during Spring Training because he pitched for the Netherlands in the World Baseball Classic.
VandenHurk is going on the disabled list, retroactive to March 29.
The Marlins also are placing utility player Alfredo Amezaga on the disabled list with a sprained left knee. And reliever Scott Proctor will go on the disabled list with right elbow discomfort. Amezaga and Proctor are on the DL, retroactive to March 27.
Chances are Amezaga could be activated within seven to 10 days after Florida opens on Monday against the Nationals at Dolphin Stadium. The earliest he can be reinstated is April 11.
Unless some other moves are made before Monday, the contracts of infielder Andy Gonzalez and right-handed reliever Kiko Calero will be selected.
Florida will carry 13 position players and 12 pitchers.
The position players are: Hanley Ramirez, Dan Uggla, Jorge Cantu, Emilio Bonifacio, John Baker, Jeremy Hermida, Cameron Maybin, Cody Ross, Wes Helms, Ross Gload, Brett Carroll, Ronny Paulino and Gonzalez.
The rotation will feature, in order, Ricky Nolasco, Josh Johnson, Chris Volstad, Anibal Sanchez and Andrew Miller.
Because of two early off days, Florida will go with a four-man rotation until April 15. At that point, Miller will be slotted in. Until then, Miller will pitch out of the bullpen.
The rest of the relievers will be closer Matt Lindstrom, Leo Nunez, Logan Kensing, Calero, Hayden Penn, Renyel Pinto and Dan Meyer.
— Joe Frisaro
My projected 25-man roster
Not that this is a final list, but for entertainment purposes, here is my projected 25-man roster. Keep in mind, I still think the club could make a move for a left-handed reliever, perhaps up until Opening Day or a few days into the season.
Again, this isn't what the team has announced. That actually could come as early as Friday. For now, to play GM for a night, here is what I'm predicting of those players left in camp:
C — John Baker, Ronny Paulino
1B — Jorge Cantu, Ross Gload
2B — Dan Uggla, Andy Gonzalez
SS — Hanley Ramirez, Andy Gonzalez
3B — Emilio Bonifacio, Wes Helms
LF — Jeremy Hermida
CF — Cameron Maybin
RF — Cody Ross, Brett Carroll
Ricky Nolasco
Josh Johnson
Chris Volstad
Anibal Sanchez
Matt Lindstrom (closer)
Leo Nunez
Logan Kensing
Kiko Calero
Renyel Pinto
Dan Meyer
Andrew Miller
Hayden Penn
Alfredo Amezaga
FYI regarding Penn. Some feel the Marlins could try sneaking him through waivers. From what I hear, he wouldn't clear, so I expect him to stay in a long relief role for a little while.

Outstanding performance and a relatively light, durable chassis make the Acer Aspire TimelineX AS4830T-6841 a great choice for a mainstream laptop that won't weigh you down on the road. And, with more than nine hours of battery life, you can put in a full work day without recharging. However, another USB 3.0 port would be nice, as would a few more wireless features. Still, this laptop should be on your short list, along with our current Editors' Choice, the Dell Inspiron 14z, which has a more robust feature set and a removable battery.

Taiwan E Cup Girl Xu Xiang Ting 徐湘婷,Pictures Show
The E cup Taiwan girl Yo Yo Xu Xiang Ting (徐湘婷) is touted as the next big thing after Guo Shu Yao. Xu Xiang Ting became Taiwan's Internet sensation when a large set of her photographs and pictures which she was circulating privately on a famous Taiwan portal Nameless Station (无名小站) was hacked and mass circulated all over the net. It is believed that she had graduated from a Beijing school before moving to Taiwan to settle down.
After the incident when Xu Xiang Ting became famous and as her pictures were circulated all over the Internet, she decided to shut down her online photo album. Unfortunately for her, it was too late. This lesson should

On Thursday, the late actor's widow, Susan Schneider, revealed Williams had been struggling, before his death at age 63, with the early stages of the neurodegenerative disorder.
Michael J. Fox has said that he felt depressed and turned to alcohol when he was first diagnosed with the disease in 1991. "My first reaction to it was to start drinking heavily," he admitted last year. "I used to drink to party, but now I was drinking alone and … every day."
"Once I did that it was then about a year of like a knife fight in a closet, where I just didn't have my tools to deal with it," he said. Fox went to Alcoholics Anonymous and therapy to help him cope.
Fox Tweeted his reaction Thursday to the news of Williams's own struggle with the diagnosis, and noted that the Academy Award winner supported his foundation for Parkinson's research.
"Stunned to learn Robin had PD. Pretty sure his support for our Fdn predated his diagnosis. A true friend; I wish him peace."
Stunned to learn Robin had PD. Pretty sure his support for our Fdn predated his diagnosis. A true friend; I wish him peace.— Michael J. Fox (@realmikefox) August 14, 2014
The disease causes many patients to "suffer from major depression," according to Dr. Michael S. Okun, a professor at the University of Florida Center for Movement Disorders and Neurorestorations.
"In Parkinson's, you get a lot of degeneration in brain circuitry, dopamine, seratonin and epinephrin," says Okun, who also authored Parkinson's Treatment: 10 Secrets to a Happier Life. "[When you] start to take away some of those chemicals that help keep the balance from depression, you could expect … that the depression would be worse in scenarios where it's contributing to a pre-existing problem."
For patients like Williams, who openly struggled with severe depression throughout his life, "aggressive treatment" for depression caused by Parkinson's is of utmost importance.
"It's the largest unmet hurdle in the treatment of Parkinson's," explains Okun. "You feel hopeless and you don't feel like there's an answer, [but] if we're aggressive in these cases, we can often make patients feel better."
Treatment for depression caused by Parkinson's includes an "interdisciplinary approach" involving psychiatrists, neurologists and counseling psychologists, along with the antidepressants.
"It's important to keep in mind that there is a way to lead a more hopeful and happy life," says Okun. "People are living long lives with Parkinson's."
For more on Robin Williams's tragic death and his legacy as a comic genius, pick up the latest issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday
If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
The Williams family is asking well-wishers to send contributions to charities close to the actor's heart in lieu of flowers. Suggested organizations include St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Challenged Athletes, USO, the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center, the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco.

Post Production by Milkhaus
For more information, please visit the film's official site
- Directed by: Jeff Orlowski
- Produced by: Paula DuPre' Pesman and Jerry Aronson
- Executive Producers: David J. Cornfield, Linda A. Cornfield
- Associate Producers: Stacy Sherman, Billy Ray, and James Billmaier
- Edited by: Davis Coombe
- Written by Mark Monroe
- Music by J. Ralph
- Cinematography by: Jeff Orlowski
Official Synopsis:
In the spring of 2005, National Geographic photographer James Balog headed to the Arctic on a tricky assignment: to capture images to help tell the story of the Earth's changing climate. Even with a scientific upbringing, Balog had been a skeptic about climate change and a cynic about the nature of academic research. But that first trip north opened his eyes to the biggest story in human history and sparked a challenge within him that would put his career and his very well-being at risk.
Chasing Ice is the story of one man's mission to change the tide of history by gathering undeniable evidence of our changing planet. Within months of that first trip to Iceland, the photographer conceived the boldest expedition of his life: The Extreme Ice Survey. With a band of young adventurers in tow, Balog began deploying revolutionary time-lapse cameras across the brutal Arctic to capture a multi-year record of the world's changing glaciers.
As the debate polarizes America and the intensity of natural disasters ramps up globally, Balog finds himself at the end of his tether. Battling untested technology in subzero conditions, he comes face to face with his own mortality. It takes years for Balog to see the fruits of his labor. His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Chasing Ice depicts a photographer trying to deliver evidence and hope to our carbon-powered planet.

A great article. Thanks for the link.
Timely. Thanks.
Maggie McNeill also has a thoughtful esssay on "Independence Day."
"…the 4th of July is now a memorial rather than a celebration, and the Spirit of '76 is nothing but a ghost."
Thanks to Wendy and Maggie.
Great article by Wendy. I have Havel's book but I bogged down reading it. But he's right about his example, the greengrocer. I wrote something along the same lines although it doesn't get to the bottom of things like Havel does:
Wendy's great!

On Tuesday, the Grammy award winner was having a ball during a group date, which included best bud Selena Gomez, at a Studio City bowling alley. One big reason? She was getting close to Glee star Cory Monteith, who had "great chemistry" with the country singer, an eyewitness tells PEOPLE.
"While everyone in the group seemed to get along great and had fun, Taylor received a lot of attention from Cory," the source says. "Several times while they chatted, Cory pulled Taylor close to him and gave her a big, loving hug. Taylor seemed to love the attention and was beaming."
The two were first snapped together at Clive Davis's pre-Grammys party in January, and it seems Monteith is still scoring points with Swift, 20. "Cory definitely seems to be Taylor's type – tall, dark and handsome," the source says.
Swift's lunch date on Wednesday – former flame and Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner – certainly fits that description. Joined by Swift's mom, the exes grabbed lunch at The Farm in Beverly Hills on Thursday.
"The two looked very excited to see each other and seemed to have a lot to catch up on," an eyewitness tells PEOPLE.

Once a year, a child can ask the big guy in the red suit for anything at all. It's a rare opportunity - those who are asking know it, and so does Santa and his local helpers.
The white-bearded men are listening, and they have shared some of their most memorable requests.
There are the touching ones:
Article Photos
Santa Claus is visited by John Howiler, 3, Tuesday at the Eastwood Mall. John was at the mall with his parents, Hope and John Howiler of Niles. To view or purchase this photo and other items, visit cu.tribtoday.com
"The one that really stuck with me was last year at the Youngstown Symphony's Brunch with Santa," said Richard Mau of Austintown, who has had his beard for 31 years.
He recalled a little girl about 6 years old, nicely dressed, with her parents waiting in the background.
"I wish you would find a job for my daddy," she told Santa.
Fact Box
Kids aren't the only ones with Christmas wishes
Santa Claus is not just for kids, it turns out. Adults also submit their bids.
"People say, 'Where's the car I asked for?'" said Richard Mau. "I tell them I left it in the dealership lot."
"Sometimes they ask for money," he added. "I tell them to look on the side of the sleigh. It says, 'This vehicle carries no cash.'"
Adults have asked for large items, such as appliances.
Santa Richard Buffone tells them, "You realize I gotta carry this, you know."
There are other reasons adults stop to see Kringle.
"Single guys gotta send a picture to Mom," said mall Santa Richard Anderson, "maybe to let them know they're OK."
Anderson, of West Middlesex, said he's also been visited by the Red Hat Society, as well as two female fans in their seventies who have had their picture taken together with Santa annually for many years.
Another lady asked for help for her mother, who was having trouble getting over the loss of another daughter.
And who's looking for love?
"Ladies come up and want a man, and the men will come up and want a car," Buffone said.
Anderson refuses to promise love delivered on a sleigh.
"I tell them to try eHarmony.com," he said.
"Is there anything else you'd like?" he asked her.
"No, that's all I want."
There are the tried and true ones:
"Except for the electronic things, you can go back over 12 years, and they ask for the same things," said Richard Buffone, who has been in the big chair at the mall for that long and also serves as Santa Claus for the Packard Band Christmas concert.
Mau and Buffone listed the same common requests - dolls and trains.
There are signs of the times:
"They want their dads home from Iraq, peace," Buffone said. "That's want Santa wants, too - peace in the world."
There are the quiet ones, staring in awe:
"You carry on a conversation with yourself with most of them," said Buffone, of Warren. He tells them he'll surprise them.
Ken Rader, also of Warren, said some kids don't want to get too close, and some of them cry.
"But there's some kids that just jump on your lap and run their jaws forever," he said. "I just love the expressions on their faces - that's what it's all about."
Then there are all the "doozies," as Rader calls them:
"I had a 2-year-old ask for a laptop computer one time," he said. "It just blew my mind."
Buffone had a child ask for Blitzen, the reindeer. "I've had kids ask to go with me on Christmas Eve," he said.
This year, Mau said he's hearing a lot of requests for S'mores makers.
Mau said a boy, about 8, recently asked for a compound bow so he could go hunting with his father. When Santa asked him what size and what pound pull, he was ready - about 35 pounds.
"He was looking to have a good relationship with his dad," Mau said.
Mau also witnesses milestones. He was playing Santa for a private party, and all the children were 4 and younger. When he first walked in, one of the children was screaming in fear, so he took off his hat, his coat and his bells, then sat on the floor and started playing with children's toys. The child calmed down.
Another little one, who had been crawling around the whole time, got up and walked 6 to 7 feet to get to Santa Claus, and Mau heard: "Look, she's walking!"
"Those were her first steps," he remembered.

FOSDEM 2010: Marketplace for Distros
At FOSDEM 2010 in Brussels, software that was declared dead was resurrected (Hurd), known combatants sat down at the same table (openSUSE, Fedora and Debian) and almost forgotten entities raised their hands again (openSUSE for PowerPC).
In contrast to last year's FOSDEM, visitors searched in vain for a lecture series by the major distros. Instead, organizers set things on a common track: "It was exciting to find out how other projects maintain their servers," said Klaas Freitag of openSUSE. "We run our Open Build Service from a central computing center, while other distros spread their computers across the entire world." Other talks concerned themselves with the need for, and relationship with, upstream maintainers or with issues surrounding community management. In one talk, former head of Fedora Max Spevack explained to those present at "Fedora Governance" what held the project together internally.
But not only the mainstream got heard. A few visitors were amazed about an operating system making a recurrence, when Olaf Buddenhagen asserted that "The Hurd lives." The Berliner worked on Hurd for his master's thesis while still in school. Likewise, KVM kernel developer and Novell worker Alexander Graf wants to reanimate openSUSE for PowerPC. Because he's employed to port the KVM Linux virtualization technology, he'd be happy to offer the distro with the Gecko to the Power platform, he told Linux Magazine Online: "If I can find a few comrades-in-arms to help me, it can be done by openSUSE 11.3. The KVM extensions for it are already completed."

Executive Deputy to the President and Board Liaison
April 8, 2013 GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A senior official with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation — and a community college alumna — will be the speaker at Grand Rapids Community College's graduation on May 3.
Suzanne Walsh is a senior program officer with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and leads its institutional redesign strategies.
"I am delighted that Suzanne Walsh has accepted our invitation to be GRCC's 2013 commencement speaker," said President Dr. Steven C. Ender. "In her role with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, she has an exceptional grasp of the importance of the community college in helping to build the economy of the United States. I feel certain our students will appreciate their accomplishments as a GRCC graduate and understand the significance of this accomplishment in regard to their future in today's global economy."
Before joining the Gates Foundation in 2010, Walsh was senior program director at the Lumina Foundation for Education. She joined Lumina after working as a program officer in the Heinz Endowments' Innovation Economy program. Before entering the philanthropy field, she worked at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland and for Oklahoma Indian Legal Services.
"At heart, I'm a community college girl," she said in a recent interview. "My dad was a professor, and I'm a community college alum.

The show will be held at the Kalamazoo County Expo Center. Woods-N-Water News Outdoor Weekend West is an offshoot of Woods-N-Water News Outdoor Weekend held in Imlay City for 26 years, which draws close to 20,000 people from around the state.
The show will feature a hands-on family outdoor theme, with hunting and fishing seminars from Michigan outdoor personalities and retail items including boats, bows, hunting equipment, fishing poles, RVs and ATVs.
The show has made a long-term commitment to being in Kalamazoo and plans to let the event grow into one of the expo center's larger events, according to a press release from the expo center. Organizers plan to solicit help from outdoor clubs and organizations in the Kalamazoo area in drawing in exhibitors and activities.
Randy Jorgensen, president of Woods-N-Water News, said in a press release the expo center and Discover Kalamazoo asked the organization to bring the show to Kalamazoo.
"We were impressed with the facility and thought the Outdoor Weekend concept would be very well received in Kalamazoo, so we decided this was a project we wanted to do," Jorgensen said in the press release.

It's a little over half-way through the NBA season and it seems about time for a look at the 10 best centers in the NBA. For this article, I will only be looking at true centers, so don't get upset when you fail to find Pau Gasol, Amare Stoudemire and Kevin Love on this list. Sorry guys, but they're only power forwards, despite playing some minutes at center.
To determine these rankings, I created "Center Efficiency", a formula determining the effectiveness of each center in fulfilling their roles. The stats used are points, rebounds, field goal percentage, steals and blocks. The results of this formula were a bit surprising.
Formula: 1.5*PTS + 2*REB + 50*FG% + 5*BLK + 3*STL
100+ = MVP Candidate
90-100 = All-NBA Caliber
80-90 = All-Star Caliber
75-80 = Borderline All-Star
70-75 = Good Player
65-70 = Solid Player

- Begin by opening up the image which you want to cut up and use the shortcut CTRL & R to turn the documents rulers on so you have a guideline, drag the edges of the image out so you also have a grey work area to ?play with?.
- Click on the ruler at the top of your page, hold down click and drag down with the cursor, this will make a blue line appear and then drag this line to the point that your want to make a cut and then let go, the final point you stop at doesn?t need to definitely be where you want the cut to be, you can still change the position if the line using the Move Tool to drag the line around.
- Use the same process only using the ruler on the left hand side of your image and your image should now be divided into four sections by the blue lines, you need to keep repeating this process until all the areas that you want to cut up are surrounded by blue boxes.
- If you want to animate a section of your image like what Web Design England can do, you need to make sure that the area is marked to be cut out and this will reduce the file size for your image ensuring the whole image will not need to be loaded numerous times for the animated section, also choose the Snap To Guides option in the view menu.
- Using the Marquee Selection Tool make a selection box around the area of the image that you want to cut out, when the area you want to cut out is selected press CTRL & C to copy the selection into memory and then create a new blank document using CTRL & N and the new dialogue box will show the dimensions of the piece you copied, press CTRL & V and this will paste the selection you have copied, save the new image and then go back to the original image.
- Repeat this process for every section that you wish to cut up and now the image is separated into usable pieces they will need to be reassembled so they appear to be one whole image again, this will be done using HTML TABLES. You will need the cell spacing, cell padding and border attributes to be set to ?0? and the width to be the same as your image as a whole, then all the images should appear lined up like they were still one single image.

Re: When I load my book why are my quotations question marksElmoreHammes Oct 6, 2010 9:59 AM (in response to raines)
Usually question marks or other strange symbols in place of punctuation or specific characters result from a specific character not being in the font set that the final result is displayed in.
You might try changing to a common font such as Times New Roman or Garamond, then doing a "replace all" on the quotation marks to make sure they are being updated.
Re: When I load my book why are my quotations question marksflyingtoastr Oct 6, 2010 10:45 AM (in response to ElmoreHammes)
According to the Formatting Guide FAQ, the best fonts to use are Times New Roman, Arial, and Courtier New. Outside of that you may end up getting weird artifacts like the question marks.

Throwback Tip: Google Alerts for Reputation Management and Morejusticefergie
My guess is that almost everyone reading this post is already using, if not familiar with, Google Alerts. On the off-chance that this feature is news to some, I've decided to share the benefits of this free feature provided by the search king. This past week alone I had the occasion to mention Google Alerts to two different people, in two different conversations, and I learned that these folks had never heard of the service before. I found this to be a small tragedy. Why?
1. It's FREE. 'Nuff said.
2. It's USEFUL. One of the most popular uses I've come across for this tool is to monitor your brand. Having a daily or weekly alert of any mentions of your name, company name, blog name, etc. allows you to keep tabs on what's being said about your brand and by whom.
These alerts don't have to always have a business angle, however; you can set an alert for any keyword that interests you whether it be "Miami Heat" or "fettucine alfredo" or "cloud computing." Keeping up with the global conversations surrounding your interests can serve multiple purposes: it can serve as fodder for your blog or provide sources for research, or just give you great watercooler material.
3. It's EASY. You can setup your alerts without a Google account, within seconds and they'll be delivered straight to your inbox or to your RSS feed at the frequency of your choice. Tired of getting everything ever mentioned about Taylor Launter? Cancel that particular alert in one click. You can set up to 1000 alerts (I'd pity your inbox though) and even subscribe in multiple language.
Here's how it works:
What are Google Alerts?
Google Alerts are emails sent to you when Google finds new results — such as web pages, newspaper articles, or blogs — that match your search term. You can use Google Alerts to monitor anything on the Web. For example, people use Google Alerts to:
- find out what is being said about their company or product.
- monitor a developing news story.
- keep up to date on a competitor or industry.
- get the latest news on a celebrity or sports team.
- find out what's being said about themselves.
Here's how it works:
- You enter a query that you're interested in.
- Google Alerts checks regularly to see if there are new results for your query.
- If there are new results, Google Alerts sends them to you in an email.
For general queries like [ football ], you can get a summary of the new results every day. For specific topics, like[ cardiovascular atherosclerosis ], you might not get an email every day, but you'll find out when something new and relevant is published.
And here's what an Alert looks like in my Gmail inbox:
Do you use Google Alerts? How useful do you find them?
