Utah looking at linking up Wasatch ski resorts
By PAUL FOY
Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — This could be the next great leap forward for Utah skiing: Hopping from one resort in the Wasatch Range to another, with seven resorts already clustered so closely together some neighbors are separated by only a rope line.
It would make for a Euro-style experience in in the mountains that loom over Salt Lake City. By combining 25 square miles of terrain, the Utah resorts could offer North America's largest skiing complex — three times the size of Vail and twice as big as Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia.
Canyons Resort has given the concept new attention with a proposed first step: a $10 million gondola traveling two miles more than the 10,000-foot Wasatch ridge and dropping into Solitude Mountain Resort for customers of both resorts.
Many skiers are delighted at the prospect of open travel along some of the best skiing terrain in the West, with the reliability of dry Utah snow.
"It would give Utah the marketing edge it needs," says Jon Weisberg, a retired Bristol-Myers Squibb executive from New York who moved in 2000 to Utah for the skiing and redrock canyons. "Stringing these jewels together will make it even better."
It's not clear Canyons will succeed, but the Park City resort has opened a debate that lay dormant for decades. The discussion could bring in other resorts, and it's already spurring studies of transportation and route options involving rail, cable cars or dedicated bus lanes.
"The whole idea of connecting resort has taken on renewed discussion and debate. We're happy to be a part of it," said Mike Goar, managing director of Canyons. "It's consistent with the bigger picture of connecting resorts."
Going over opposition from the U.S. Forest Service, Canyons asked Congress earlier this year to sell a corridor of land for the gondola, raising an avalanche of protest from backcountry skiers, wilderness advocates and municipal water officials.
"We need to curb development and keep the pristine beauty of the Wasatch mountains that draws people to this place," said Carl Fisher, executive director of Save Our Canyons.
Solitude recently stated that it hopes to see construction of the inter-resort gondola begin in summer, but aides to Utah's Republican Congressman Rob Bishop don't expect any action until the new Congress is seated in January.
Skiers don't have to wait for the politics to settle. It's already possible to ski between some neighboring resorts in the snowy Wasatch mountains.
Solitude and Brighton offer a joint pass, along with Alta and Snowbird in a neighboring canyon. In addition, the trade group SkiUtah offers an underappreciated but somewhat taxing Interconnect Adventure Tour of all seven Wasatch resorts.
The daylong tour with a stop for lunch tour is led by backcountry guides who keep an eye on avalanche danger. The longest out-of-bounds stretch on the tour is barely two miles (3.2 kilometers), the distance Canyons would connect with an express gondola.
Plenty else has changed since the 2002 Winter Olympics remade Utah's ski industry. Utah officials are looking to possibly make another Olympic bid for the 2026 Games in a decision due this month.
The 14 resorts have invested in roughly $1 billion in improvements, adding terrain, high-speed lifts and bubble chairs. Park City now has a handful of five resorts, from the Waldorf Astoria to the Montage Deer Valley.
Some of the latest improvements came in small packages, like a tiny ski area in southern Utah that offers big adventure.
Just beyond Eagle Point's gates are hundreds of square miles (kilometers) of untrammeled powder snow under the volcanic-shaped peaks of the Tushar mountains. Skiers can take endless backcountry loops with little effort using the resort's lifts.
Managers of a New York-based hedge fund brought the former Elk Meadows ski area out of dormancy and are running it as a family operation for a third year. Revenue is thin for Utah's most remote ski area, outside the ranching town of Beaver, but that didn't stop the owners from offering free skiing.
Anyone can ski Eagle Point at no charge Thursdays in January, and for California residents skiing is free all season. Meanwhile, nearby Brian Head is slashing prices for skiers who buy a punch pass of five lift tickets for midweek use, at $159.
Adventure also is on tap at northern Utah's Powder Mountain, which grew from one of the smallest to arguably largest Utah ski resort, although it involves some walking or snowcat rides to reach distant slopes. The effort is worth it, with deep powder outlasting other Utah resorts for days at a time after a storm.
A look at what's new at Utah resorts this year:
— Alta is celebrating 75 years with its own anniversary beer, produced by Wasatch Brewery. Alta opened in 1938 with rope tows and a year later added a chair lift, the second in the West after Idaho's Sun Valley.
Alta plans to mark the Jan. 15 anniversary with fireworks and a torchlight parade. It's publishing a picture book and will roll out a series of short films digitized from 8 mm color shots taken as early as the 1940s. What's more, Alta is partnering on a $349 pass for two days of skiing at each of four destinations, including Aspen/Snowmass, Jackson Hole and Squaw Valley/Alpine Meadows. That works out to $43.60 a day.
— Beaver Mountain has leveled and cleared out its base area for easier skier access, after adding a triple-seat chair last year.
— Brighton opened first for the season among Utah resorts Nov. 13 with a 36-inch base (nearly a meter). The boarder-friendly resort is rolling out a new mobile app for snow reports and a yurt for ski school.
— Canyons Resort introduces the Ultimate Mountain Experience, with six Olympians and six other athletes coaching guests for three-day sessions under the direction of Phil McNichol, former U.S. men's alpine coach.
— Deer Valley replaced the fixed-grip Deer Crest chair with a high-speed detachable quad as part of $8 million in improvements. The resort also boosted snowmaking, bought five new Prinoth snowcats and renovated Snow Park Restaurant.
— Park City Mountain Resort offers a new terrain park, Neff Land, and a three-day freestyle camp for children.
— Snowbird replaced the 1980 two-seat Little Cloud chair lift with a high-seed quad. Instead of a ride of eight minutes "that felt like 20," the new lift delivers skiers to the top of Snowbird in 3 minutes, said Dave Fields, vice president of resort operations.
— Solitude expanded snowmaking for earlier season openings.
— Sundance adds a new chair lift from an upper parking lot with direct access to a terrain park. It also expanded snowmaking capacity by 40 percent.
— Snowbasin is expanding a terrain park and its snowcat fleet.
— Wolf Mountain, under new ownership and management, runs Utah's smallest ski area with three lifts, night skiing, and a magic-carpet conveyer for children.

Much has been written in the pupil transportation media lately about using motor carriers for school-related trips. In fact, the federal government is even getting involved in the discussion. But why? Is there a problem? In the aftermath of several serious motorcoach crashes involving students on school-related trips, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) informed the U.S. Congress that it would develop information to assist schools in making decisions about hiring motor carriers for such trips. Specifically, the document, which should be published during 2002, would be a guide to "best practices" in selecting private bus companies for transporting students on school-related field trips and for other events. Of primary importance, the federal government publication will not address the vehicular and operational differences between school buses and motor carriers. The document assumes that the decision to use a motor carrier, rather than a school bus, for the trip has already been made. Thus, the guide will provide information that will assist schools in making a safe choice among available motor carriers. Guide will assist schools
The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services (NASDPTS), along with other representatives of the pupil transportation and motor carrier industries, is working with the FMCSA on the development of a guide to assist schools that have already decided to hire a motor carrier. The state directors association believes the guide should clearly advise schools that "cost" should not be the only consideration in deciding which motor carrier to hire. Safety is number one! But how can a school determine if the motor carrier they intend to hire is safe? There are a number of sources of important information about the safety of any motor carrier. Additionally, there are a number of logical questions that could be asked of motor carriers you might hire. For motor carriers that operate in interstate commerce, a wealth of information about the company's safety record is available on the Internet. Each interstate motor carrier is required to have a U.S. DOT identification number. That number allows anyone to obtain a history about that company at www.safersys.org. Common sense helps, too
Common sense also enters into the decision-making process. Does the driver have a current CDL with a passenger endorsement? What about the driver's medical certificate? Will the trip take more than 10 hours? If so, a second driver will be needed. How much insurance does the motor carrier have? Will subcontractors be used? And the list goes on. The bottom line to this effort by the FMCSA is to provide the pupil transportation industry with an informative and useful tool for selecting a safe and efficient motor carrier for school-related field trips in instances where the school has already decided not to use a school bus. There is no requirement that these "guidelines" and "recommendations" be used. However, they should be reviewed and considered in establishing state and local school district policies. Some states have already established guidelines for chartering motor carriers for school-related trips. Recommendations from New York can be found at www.nyapt.org/charterbus.htm. Motorcoach guidelines from North Carolina can be found at www.itre.ncsu.edu/pt/dpi. Remember that hiring a motor carrier is not a game. If you treat it that way, you could put your students in Jeopardy! and make yourself the Weakest Link in the liability chain. By making informed decisions about which motor carrier to hire, you will be doing your best to ensure your students are Survivors, and no one will become a Millionaire because of a bad decision.

Walmart, the nation's largest grocer, is partnering with health-food provider Wild Oats to offer a line of reduced-price organic-food products at its stores nationwide.
By offering organic products at prices comparable to nonorganic national brands, Walmart can be expected to put considerable price pressure on organic products across the board.
"We don't think consumers should have to pay high prices to put food on their families' tables," said Jack Sinclair, executive vice president of Walmart's grocery division. "And organic products are no exception."
The move was prompted by internal research that showed that 91 percent of Walmart shoppers were interested in organic products if they were priced competitively with nonorganic brands, Sinclair said.

Tackled the London-Edinburgh-London audax in early August and found the Garmin I hired from Cyclohire invaluable. Normally I like to go technology free on the bike, so hiring a Garmin was the perfect solution to the issue of peddling more than 300km a day for 5 days without looking at maps the whole time.
The Garmin was easily ordered and received, and I found the Cyclohire service faultless. Will definitely use them again.

A significant proportion of our income is from supporters who sponsor children. We also receive donations and grants. This income is used for our charitable work and to fundraise and run our charity.
For a detailed breakdown of Plan UK's income and how it is used, including information about our charitable work and its impact, please see our latest Trustees' Annual Report.
In the year to 30 June 2015, our total income increased by 27 per cent against the previous year to reach over £80m for the first time. Our focus on increasing our expertise in disaster risk management meant that we were well placed to respond to emergencies in the year including the Ebola crisis in West Africa and the earthquakes that struck Nepal, receiving funding of £15.0m for disasters from DFID and others. We also experienced major growth in our development income. More details are given below.
Sponsorship is central to our work, providing long-term funding for community projects in the countries where we work. Last year, income from sponsorship was £18.5m and the total including Gift Aid from all individual givers was £22.8m or 28 per cent of our income. Find out more about the difference child sponsorship makes.
Income from institutional donors was £39.6 million or 49 per cent of our income last year. In addition to the funding received in relation to our Ebola response, income for our development programmes increased significantly, with over £10 million being received in relation to our DFID-funded South Asia Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) Results Programme (which reached nearly four million beneficiaries in the year).
The funds and support that we receive from individuals and community groups enable us to make a difference to more children every year. Our supporters have donated generously to our emergency appeals, supported our Girls Fund projects, organised events, taken part in challenges and kindly left us legacy bequests. Last year, this support was £9.1m or 11 per cent of our income.
We've also continued to benefit from a number of large-scale corporate partnerships and long-term relationships with trusts and major donors, with £8.3m or 10 per cent of our income coming from these partners last year.
Last year, 84 per cent of our income was used to fund our programme activities, supporting and delivering our development, disasters and campaigning work to improve the lives of children and their communities in the world's poorest countries. The rest was spent on fundraising (nine per cent) to ensure we continue to bring in income to deliver our charitable work, and running our charity (six per cent), with an increase in our unrestricted funds (one per cent) to ensure that these are at an appropriate level as we grow, in line with our reserves policy.

NEWTON, Ala. — AngelTrax announced on Monday that it will expand its operations into the Midwest with the opening of its new operations center in southern Indiana.
The expansion will enable the mobile surveillance system supplier to introduce new solutions in a larger, more central market, according to the company.
"This is a natural next step for AngelTrax," President Richie Howard explained. "We have experienced steady growth in the mobile surveillance industry from our beginning, and our new presence in the Midwest promises new opportunities and incredible potential for the future."
Located in Jeffersonville, Ind., the new offices will accommodate staff members of the company's recently expanded marketing department, under the direction of Marketing Director JoBeth Fink, and will function as a regional hub of operations for continued development.
With patented technologies engineered to improve efficiency and protect the innocent, AngelTrax is entering new vertical markets such as driver behavior management and law enforcement, company officials said.
Employing resources in the new location, AngelTrax is currently preparing to introduce a driver safety system that is designed for fleets to make the roads safer. Operating with an enhanced algorithm for improved driver behavior management, this solution will focus on rewarding or correcting driver behavior and increasing fleet efficiency.

My baby was on similac alimentum and the ped recommended switching back to milk based to see if she has outgrown her milk allergy. I am putting her back on to the early shield similac. She used to drink it before the alimentum and always took it well. But trying to switch back is a night mare. She refuses to drink a bottle of the entire formula and one with 4 oz alimentum/2 oz early shield. Anyone have any recommendations on how to get her to drink? I am really anxious to see b/c I'm hoping she can tolerate it now and it would be a lot nicer on the budget.
having trouble switching formula types, please help!
FTM to Isabella Rose born 5/4/2009

You need to start with a 5 to one ratio of the alimentum to early shield and add an ounce of early shield every day to the ratio. It will take a little longer but it might help her adjust to the difference in taste and texture. It will also give you a better idea if she has a problem with the milk based formula. I have my DD on the Similac Isomil and plan to try to switch her to the Early Shield in a month or two. I would like to see if she can have a milk based formula before I switch them to cow's milk at a year old.
Loving wife and mom to Pookie (7/2007) and Tinky (4/2009).
My LO has been on Alimentum since he was 5 weeks due to Acid Reflux and a possible milk allergy. We have tried twice to switch him and didn't have success either. We probably should have tried to switch more gradually. We're going to the ped. on Friday, so I'm going to ask her her recommendations. I'll let you know if I find out anything helpful.
We have the same issue, or doctor wanted us to switch to a lactose formula again. Here is what we did: He was on soy, but has been on Alimentum too. Soy doesn't have a milk protein like Alimentum does do we switched to Sensitive. The first few day I only replaced one bottle with the Sensitive (he didn't care much for it either), then I switched to twice a day, then 3 times, and now this week it will all be Sensitive. I also cut out all solid feedings for now that way if anything changes I will know it is the formula. Then friday when I introduce the Advanced I will only put one bottle each day, then two, then three, then everyone. I hope this helps and if you need anything you can PAN me.

"Always kiss your children goodnight, even if they're already asleep."
each baby will handle it differently. a tip i picked up ages ago from a great group of reflux mommies was to maybe try with solids instead of a formula swap first.... a couple of suggestions would be to make cereal with the milk based formula or buy a stage 2 food with foods you know your lo can handle in it that also adds milk/whey into the mix. or grab a single ingredient solid and add an ounce of milk formula to it. this way you can find out if your lo can tolerate it without also having to battle the different flavor/texture. it tends to be easier to swap out formula when they are learning to use sippy cups. (ie~they expect to get one thing in a bottle, but when it comes to a sippy cup, it's free game if they haven't yet learned to drink alimentum from it. or you could use a regular cup to do the same thing.)
my dd was on alimentum and wasn't able to switch until after she was a year old. then we switched her to a stage 2 soy formula, then soy milk, and at 15 months to cows milk. the cows milk has since caused constipation issues, so she is back on soy milk now. when we went from alimentum to soy, we mixed it in one ounce at a time. one ounce per bottle until she didn't react to it, then 2 ounces, then half of the bottle, then 1 ounce alimentum, then all soy. the milk transition was actually much easier and we just stopped giving her formula altogether.
my ds is on alimentum rtf for mspi as well as a possible corn intolernace. we keep trying to mix the rtf with the powder and each time he ends up extremely cranky. so i gave up for now with him. but it usually takes a year to outgrow milk issues anyway, so i'm not too concerned with trying to force any formula switches on him, though like you said, it would be GREAT if we could get a break on the cost of the stuff!!!!!!!!!! i'm so tired of spending $9+ on a day's worth of formula!

Try Nestle Good Start. It has worked wonders for us. My daughter was on Alimentum for reflux then we switched back to Similac Advanced. It was a nightmare. GoodStart is still a milk based formula but the whey protein is easier to digest (they call it comfort proteins).

In a dream, within a dream....
Title : The Slingshot Effect
Rating : K+
Beads of sweat formed on my body as I slowly gained consciousness, the thin blanket that had once covered me now scrunched up at the end of the bed, discarded due to the ever growing heat. My mind was foggy, unclear of exactly what was happening as I slowly dragged myself out of sleep. The world was blurry for a moment, then cleared and focused as I opened my eyes to see the strange room before me. I pulled myself out of the bed, and stared around at the room. Its walls were slightly curved on the left side, a large shuttered window taking up most of that wall. The other wall came down vertically, to a cold metallic floor that caused my footsteps to echo through the room. Other beds lined the rest of the room, some made, and others were left in a sloppy state, the blankets draped over the side or on the floor. Only one thing was common between all of the beds. They were all empty.
Moving towards the window, I noticed a computer terminal near the door, its light slightly illuminating the room. Forgoing the window, I turned my attention to the glow of the computer, its cursor blinking on and off on the screen. Unfortunately the terminal seemed to be somewhat of an older model, and didn't even present options to me, just the steady blinking of the cursor. Unsure of what to do with the terminal, I turned back towards the window, and then hit a button opening the shutters on the window. The shutters turned from vertical to flat, allowing blinding light to leak in, blasting my eyes. After a few moments, my eyes adjusted to the point where I could see out of the corners of my eye, and I could see a star. It was large and getting slightly closer with each passing second. I quickly hit the button to close the shutters once again, shielding myself from the blinding light.
So what did I know so far? Well, I knew I was in space, probably on a ship or a small space station, and I seemed to be getting closer to the star in whatever solar system I was in. It was a start. It would at least give an explanation for the heat at any rate. I once again returned to the computer, now vaguely aware of what to search for. My fingers hammered the keys, searching for answers. After several denied commands, I typed "—Systems Status" and got what I was looking for.
> Starship Odyssey Systems Report

The list went on and on, most things offline or barely functional. The ship was certainly in a sorry state, and probably wouldn't last much longer. I figured I only had about fifteen or twenty minutes to escape before the gravity of the star would pull me in regardless of what I was doing, in the ship or not.
I typed a few more commands to open the door, which ground to a halt about halfway open, the screen reading "Door Malfunction, Requesting Immediate Service". Of course it would malfunction. It was still large enough of an opening for me to get through. I pulled myself through, then stared into the corridor which went both left and right from my doorway, both ways completely empty. I mentally flipped a coin, then started down the left passage hoping just to get lucky. I ran through the halls, my eyes flicking up to the signs above various doorways, most of them useless. Mess hall, Bathrooms, Ammunitions Storage, and on went the list. I was losing hope as I finally came to the doorway marked "Escape Pods". The computer had said that they were all jettisoned, but if the computer was malfunctioning like the rest of the ship, then it might be worthwhile to at least check. Sure enough though, a red light flashed above each hatch, each one mocking me saying that there was no escape.
As I ran back into the hallway, a female voice came out of loudspeakers throughout the ship. "Warning, Artificial Gravity Failure". My momentum from running out of the escape pod room sent me flying into the wall on the other side of the hallway, slamming me into the metal, now warm from the rising temperatures. Fortunately, the corridor was narrow enough so that if I stretched my arms across, I could reach each and propel myself forward, although my progress was much slower than previously. I paused once again at another window, and risked another glance at the always approaching star. It had gotten even larger, and I guessed that I only had about ten minutes before I really needed to leave. If only there was a way to leave. If only I could get to the hangar, I might be able to find a small ship that I could use to escape from the gravitational pull of the star. At this point, jumping out into space in a space suit would be out of the question, the sun would pull me in just as fast as if I was in the station. No, I needed something that would propel me away, and that meant a ship.
Finally, after what seemed like ages, although what could have only been a few minutes, I reached the hangars. For a ship this size, there would be multiple hangars, hopefully with multiple ships. Hoping for the best, I pulled myself into the first hangar to find only disappointment. Broken ship parts littered the floor, pieces of scrap metal, but no ship. The story was same for the second and third hangar also, but on the fourth hangar, I struck gold. It was an old beaten down ship, but it would do for my purposes. It was an old fighter, decades old, maybe even dating back a couple centuries ago to the war between Earth and Mars in the war for Martian Independence. If I recall correctly, it was called a Mosquito Fighter, known for striking fast and being more or less irritating. I would need all of its speed if I was going to get out alive.
I pulled myself into the cockpit and hit the starter button to find only more disappointment. Multiple error messages popped up on the HUD showing various problems like low fuel, a broken coolant hose, and broken air scrubbers. In other words, I wasn't going anywhere, the ship would fry under any amount of engine heat, and I would suffocate to death. Or burn, whichever came first. I pulled myself out of the cockpit, moving slowly to keep myself from flying uncontrollably because of the zero gees, and pulled myself to the rear engine block, finding that the coolant hose had completely torn itself apart, each half of it connection to where they needed to be, but not connecting to each other. Next I checked the fuel rods, to find the symbols indicating that each one was nearly depleted, not even enough to pull myself out of the gravity of the sun. The air scrubbers was a problem I wouldn't be able to fix in any case, I would need some sort of space suit or means of breathing.
With my shopping list of various parts I needed, I looked around the four hangars, not finding much. I managed to find a couple half depleted fuel rods in hangar two under a broken wing, although I would have preferred another two. These would get me maybe somewhere else in the solar system, but warp drives needed all four fuel rods to function properly in order to work. Oh well, landing on some planet in the solar system with hopefully some atmosphere would be preferable to burning up in the star. He couldn't find any oxygen scrubbers, which would have taken too long to replace anyway, but he did find a spare space suit and helmet tucked away in a corner of hangar one. The space suit was a couple sizes too small, but the helmet fit fine, which was good, he only needed the oxygen anyway, the life support system in the ship was fine, and would keep him warm enough in space to survive. Remarkably, he couldn't find any hoses the size that he needed that he would be able to replace the coolant hose with, but he did find some deep space tape. The label read "Good for all space suit repairs! Heat resistant for up to twenty minutes!" Maybe a few layers around the coolant hose tying them together would hold for the duration of his trip.
With my bounty of gear, I made his way back to hangar one, and quickly made my repairs, then put on the space helmet. I reached over and hit the control panel for the hangar doors, then pulled myself into the beaten up ship and closed the cockpit over my head. I started up the engines and checked the readings. Fuel would be good for a little while, but the warp drive was disabled of course. The coolant seemed to be flowing fine, and hopefully would for at least a little while longer, and his oxygen helmet had a good seal and was functioning as it should. I maneuvered the ship towards the doors, then gunned the engines propelling himself out of the hangar into empty space. I shifted the ship so it was facing the exact opposite direction of the pull of gravity of the sun, and then pumped the engines to their maximum. I watched the readings, then he filled with dread. I had taken too long finding parts, and now I couldn't escape the gravitational pull of the star.
As I sat there, an old physics lecture from college came into mind. I hadn't really been paying attention, but I remembered hearing something about a slingshot affect, where swinging around a large object would increase speed dramatically. Quickly I turned the ship around angling slightly away from the star, but still bringing myself closer to it. If I brought the ship too close to the star, I would burn up. But if I didn't go close enough to the star, I wouldn't have enough momentum to escape the star. Gunning the engines once more, the ship shot forward getting closer and closer to the star. Then after curving around the star, picking up speed but getting even closer each second, I lifted the nose of the ship, the engines bringing it farther and farther away from the sun. I laughed with glee as I saw that my trick had worked, my ship had broken out of the gravitational field, and now I could move forward by the power of my engines. I checked the planet log on the ship searching for any planets that would sustain life in the system…
The old man cleared his throat, done with his story. The children had heard the story a dozen times, but still remained entertained every time he told it. The fire crackled as the children sat in silence imagining the things that they had been told. Then one piped up, "Tell us another story Alex! Please?" The rest of the children joined in, begging him for another story. Alex lifted his hands, silencing the children, "No children, that is the third story tonight! Off to bed with you, there will be another story tomorrow night!" The children groaned as they headed off to their tents, leaving the old man alone with the crackling of the fire. Perhaps sometime he would tell them the real story, about why they had been stranded on the planet, and how he had come here. Perhaps, but not yet. He smiled as he stared at the stars, searching for the one he used to call home.

Arón Bautista opened the Austin Center for Therapy and Assessment (ACTA) doors for the first time in the summer of 2007. It is his aim to provide the most comfortable and serene environment possible so that ACTA patients can confidently work through their concerns. He addresses patient concerns using a variety of approaches including cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, solution focused, and rational emotive techniques. In counseling work, he tailors his approach for each client based on their concerns, personality style, developmental level, and the nature of their treatment goals. He specializes in the assessment and treatment of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, but is also quite competent in assessing and treating other mental health concerns.
Mr. Bautista developed ACTA after years of planning and preparation. He received his Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Austin College, a small liberal arts school north of Dallas. He continued his education at the University of North Texas where he completed the Master of Counseling Psychology program. His graduate school external practicum in Dallas, Texas focused primarily on neuropsychological and psychological assessment of adults with various concerns ranging from depression, to learning disabilities, to attention deficit disorder, to brain injuries.
After completing graduate school, Mr. Bautista worked at two private practices in the North Texas area completing internships in adult and child neuropsychological and psychological assessment. During that time, he strengthened his counseling skills, working with diverse populations and age ranges. He also supervised numerous undergraduate and graduate interns, as well as post-graduate interns in assessment work.

Ms. Allen, a Louisiana native, earned a Bachelor's of Science from Louisiana State University in Psychology in 2010. She chose coursework with a focus in biological psychology, completed an undergraduate practicum in cognition, and gained experience in a psychopathology laboratory. With an interest in the biological bases of behavior, she gravitated toward the study of health psychology (the scientific relations among psychological factors, behavior, and physical health and illness).

John Cooper holds a Master of Arts degree in Professional Counseling from Texas State University in San Marcos. He completed a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as a Master of Arts degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Texas at Austin.
Mr. Cooper has a wide diversity of experience in the helping professions of education, medical therapeutic rehabilitation, and psychotherapy.

Following completion of the Masters program at UT-Austin in Communication Sciences and Disorders, Mr. Cooper entered the field of medical speech/language therapy and cognitive rehabilitation.

In addition to his work at ACTA, Mr. Cooper continues to work on a part-time basis with adult survivors of stroke and brain injuries at St. David's Outpatient Rehabilitation Day Program.
In his clinical psychotherapeutic practice, Mr. Cooper emphasizes the development of the relationship between therapist and client as a framework for change and growth. Within this framework, his areas of specialty are twofold. Mr. Cooper's work in cognitive rehabilitation encourages an emphasis on utilizing behavioral and cognitive approaches to facilitate neuronal regrowth and brain rewiring. It is this process of synaptic regrowth, associated with the brain's capacity for plasticity, which allows for the changing of thought and brain response patterns. These pattern changes, in turn, make it possible for clients to strengthen brain function and maximize their potential for success in work and relationships.
For clients who are seeking longer term work in developing deeper and fuller relationships with themselves and others, Mr. Cooper approaches therapy from a neurobiological and attachment perspective. As part of his ongoing commitment to personal and professional growth, he has been an active participant in his own psychodynamic individual and group process therapy since 2000. He is currently actively involved with the Austin Group Psychotherapy Society.
In his free time, Mr. Cooper enjoys cooking, home renovations, getting regular exercise, outdoor activities, and spending time with family, friends, and his dog.

Sam Shepard and Jessica Lange Broke Up Two Years Ago
Yesterday, People magazine exclusively learned that longtime Hollywood couple, Jessica Lange and Sam Shepard, ended their relationship almost two years ago. A rep for Lange confirmed the news, but no additional comment was made regarding what caused the split in the first place, and Shepard's rep could not be reached for a statement. Additionally, a source further commented on the breakup, saying, "They both are pursuing independent lives," but other than that, no other details were revealed. The couple were together since 1982 and share two children: Hannah and Samuel.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Hollywood duo, Lange stars as Constance in FX's hit series, American Horror Story and was just nominated for Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild awards. She'll also be seen starring in The Vow, next to Rachel McAdams, in February. Shepard has also made his fair share of appearances in films, including Black Hawk Down and the popular romantic comedy, The Notebook, where he played Frank Calhoun, Noah's father.
While breakup news is always sad to hear, I must admit I'm rather impressed they were able to keep it a secret for so long without anyone growing suspicious. I guess you really can keep things from the press after all!
