IIP Internships in Social Entrepreneurship
IIP offers two types of summer international internships: IIP Placements and IIP-IN Programs.
IIP Placements: When you apply to an IIP Placement, you are applying to work at a specific organization within the parameters of the work responsibilities described on our website by the employer and past interns. Therefore, your personal statement should address why you are interested in that specific organization/placement.
IIP-IN Programs: IIP-IN Programs are our new internship programs managed by in-country providers. Each IIP-IN program offers placements in various areas of interest. When you apply to an IIP-IN program, you will not know which organization you will be paired with or the specific work responsibilities. Your personal statement should instead address why you want to work in that country, and in a general area of interest (listed under each IIP-IN description). You will then be interviewed by the in-country staff, and based on that conversation with you, they will find a placement that matches your skills and customize it to your interests.
IIP Placements and IIP-IN Programs both lead to internships in specific organizations abroad.
Please note that IIP internships need to be 8 consecutive weeks. The dates will be agreed upon by you and your employer.

IIP-IN Cambodia (UBelong)
This IIP internship is offered in partnership with UBelong. UBelong is an international organization devoted to bringing people together across borders to take action for positive change.
Area of Placement: Microfinance and income generation
Cambodia has recorded impressive economic growth in the last decade. The country has emerged from its violent recent history and moved from an isolated subsistence economy to a market-based one led by garment manufacturing and tourism. However, while jobs have been created at all levels of society, the wage gap is widening and the United Nations indicates that over 30 percent of the population remains below the national poverty line. One of the most effective tools to create opportunity for the poorest is to extend credit to poor entrepreneurs. When carried out as part of a well-planned campaign, microfinance can be the difference between an unstable temporary job and sustainable self-employment.

As an internal consultant, they live in Phnom Penh and work in the city and surrounding areas. IIP interns generally work five-to-seven hours a day assisting a local community organization. They will edit and write reports, provide workshops to the local staff, and/or work with entrepreneurs on growing their business. The businesses range widely from food stalls to textile shops. Depending on local need, IIP interns partake in multiple facets of the income generation process, including evaluating loan applications, monitoring projects and overseeing repayment. Interns may also help implement community workshops going over topics like opening up a savings account and running a small business. IIP interns are also often involved on operational duties, including marketing, translating into English, and grant proposal writing. Moreover, some of the organizations have community schools and, if they wish, IIP interns can also teach English there a few hours per week.
Qualifications: The IIP candidate should have the flexibility to participate in many different tasks depending on the ever-changing needs of the project, the creativity and initiative to work in an environment with limited resources, and the cultural sensitivity to engage clients in a professional manner.

This IIP internship is offered in partnership with UBelong. UBelong is an international organization devoted to bringing people together across borders to take action for positive change.
Area of Placement: Organic farming
80 percent of the labor force in Laos and half of the country's GDP are tied to agriculture. The effect of agriculture on the environment is substantial. Slash-and-burn farming has significantly contributed to forest destruction, and intensive farming has led to widespread soil erosion. Forests, which not long ago covered 70 percent of Laos, now cover just 40 percent. The government recognizes the link between economic growth, food security and natural resource management, and its poverty alleviation initiatives encourage more careful land use. However, responsible agriculture practices are rare in Vang Vieng. IIP interns will work on an organic farm that is a testing ground for sustainable agriculture, and whose products are then sold to support educational initiatives in Vang Vieng. The products are nearly all organic fruits and vegetables, and the farm also employs agroforestry and botany principles. IIP interns bring manpower and fresh ideas and will work on the farm, which is on the outskirts, alongside local staff and other interns for three to six hours a day, depending on weather conditions, local need and comfort – if the weather is too hot and/or wet, IIP interns work less. The organic garden is a place where all kinds of native vegetables, flowers, herbs and fruits are grown. This garden is created as an income generating activity to attract tourism and serve as a model to the community of productive and environmentally responsible agriculture. IIP interns help on all facets of the organic gardening process, which includes clearing the fields and getting the land ready for cultivation, as well as seeding and harvesting. When the need arises, IIP interns are also involved in side projects like building fences, maintaining trails, working on irrigation, and devising plans for future crops.
Qualifications: IIP candidates should have the health and physical capability to do manual work in a tropical climate with few amenities, the flexibility to participate in many different tasks depending on the season and ever-changing needs of the farm project and the creativity and initiative to work in an environment with limited resources.

IIP-IN Morocco (UBelong)
This IIP internship is offered in partnership with UBelong. UBelong is an international organization devoted to bringing people together across borders to take action for positive change.
Area of Placement: Strengthening NGO Capacity
NGOs in Morocco play an important role in advancing social issues that may not otherwise be addressed by the government. Within the bounds set forth by the powerful monarchy, local and international NGOs in Morocco advance a range of causes. Especially in light of recent events, NGOs have proven to be powerful agents for change in poverty reduction, public health education, and the defense of women's rights. IIP interns will collaborate with local staff to share ideas and contribute to all activities of the organization. They will live in Rabat and work for a local or international NGO. The NGOs focus on a wide range of causes, which may include children and women's rights; delivering health and human services to the poor; promoting government accountability; strengthening civil society; and more. Internships will vary based on local need. In terms of their day- to-day work, IIP interns contribute to every facet of their organization's work, including administrative work, marketing and public relations, planning community events, and writing grants.
Qualifications: IIP candidates are required to have at least an advanced level of French. IIP candidates should have the flexibility to participate in many different tasks depending on the ever-changing needs of the organization and the creativity and initiative to work in an environment with limited resources.

Area of Placement: Advancing women's rights
Improvements in women's issues in Morocco have been made in the last twenty years. Economic and political liberalization have helped, as well as efforts by national and international organizations pushing feminist issues. The government has also taken positive steps, for example by setting aside seats in parliament for women. However, the gender gap in Morocco remains very wide across every indicator, including education, employment, health, human rights, and literacy. Advancement is more difficult for women than men, especially in poor communities. IIP interns live and work in Rabat. They will generally work three to five hours a day with a Moroccan NGO devoted to promoting women's rights in Morocco through advocacy, research, and direct outreach to marginalized women. Depending on the organization, IIP interns may be involved with issues like domestic violence, economic empowerment, elections, inheritance and land rights, and reproductive health. IIP interns support the small teams by working on a variety of projects. Some examples may be collecting press materials and creating press releases, helping with social media, writing reports and funding proposals, and maintaining the organization's library. They may have the opportunity to work directly with the women that the organization is helping. However, this is dependent on the local need and the background and qualifications of each Intern.
Qualifications: IIP candidates are required to have at least an advanced level of Arabic and/or French. IIP candidates should have the flexibility to participate in many different tasks depending on the ever-changing needs of the organization and the creativity and initiative to work in an environment with limited resources.

IIP-IN Peru (UBelong)
This IIP internship is offered in partnership with UBelong. UBelong is an international organization devoted to bringing people together across borders to take action for positive change.
Area of Placement: Cultural enterprise development
The Cusco area offers enormous potential for cultural micro-enterprises, which are community organizations that promote local culture using business approaches. The main challenge facing cultural micro-enterprises in the developing world is their ability to simultaneously meet their social goals and remain economically viable. The project supports organizations that largely work with rural people to preserve traditional cultural practices by training and linking them to market opportunities in the city. IIP interns generally serve four to six hours a day at either a local organization that supports different communities in traditional textile production through training and marketing services, or at a community-based NGO on the outskirts of Cusco. IIP interns assist local staff with translation services, creating marketing materials, and other administrative duties. Ultimately, IIP interns may have the opportunity to work on a large variety of projects and activities.
Qualifications: An intermediate level of Spanish is required. IIP candidates should have the flexibility to participate in many different tasks depending on the ever-changing needs of the organization, the creativity and initiative to work in an environment with limited resources and the cultural sensitivity to engage visitors and clients in a professional manner.

"Air Power and the Environment: The Ecological Implications of Modern Air Warfare"
The Conference of:
The Air Power Studies Division,
King's College London
The Royal Air Force
Centre for Air Power Studies
Royal Air Force College Cranwell
United Kingdom
26 and 27 August 2009
Environmental responsibility already lies at the forefront of our western world perspective and is constantly growing in importance. Ecological activism, which used to be a fringe movement, has now become mainstream. In 2007 Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change won the Nobel Peace Prize (and an Oscar!) for their efforts to raise environmental awareness. Greenpeace, which uses "non-violent, creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems," alone has no fewer than 220,000 members in the UK and 2.8 million worldwide. Ecologists, environmentalists, activists, lobbyists and of course strategists are already turning their attention to ecological aspects of modern warfare, including land mines, cluster ordnance, erosion and soil damage, air pollution, deforestation, nuclear testing and proliferation, oil spillage and fires, DU contamination, the disposal of ordnance, and so forth. It seems likely that such concerns will also become increasingly mainstream.
As a consequence, governments and their armed forces will doubtless be paying more attention to the serious ecological ramifications of conflict. Some already are. The Global Strategic Trends paper published by the MoD's Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre (DCDC) illustrates the importance now being placed on these matters by cutting-edge British strategists.
Balancing strategic and operational needs with both military and environmental ethics is certainly not impossible, and responsible armed forces, including the Royal Air Force, are already thinking deeply about how best to balance what superficially seem to be (but actually are not) competing imperatives.
This innovative conference – the first on this topic in the United Kingdom – will touch on several broader security themes and topics but will focus especially on the concepts and practices of modern air power and their environmental implications.
The organisers intend the conference – to be held at the historic and prestigious Royal Air Force College – to attract practitioners, policy-makers, academics and also university students (for whom attendance will be free upon presentation of a student id card), and for it therefore to wrestle analytically with big air power-related themes and topics at the heart of current strategy and security debates.
The conference proceedings will be published subsequently in book form by the Royal Air Force Centre for Air Power Studies.
Some potential topics:
• Climate change and security
• Strategies to prevent, mitigate, and redress war's environmental consequences
• Warfare and environmental law
• The historical targeting of oil and industrial infrastructure
• Contemporary targeting strategies for oil and industrial infrastructure
• Environmentally harmful / acceptable ordnance
• Decommissioning and disposal of ordnance
• Aviation fuel management
• Air forces and carbon emissions
• Air forces and alternative fuel sources
• Air forces and resource / waste management
• Real versus synthetic training
Prospective presenters should normally expect 30 minutes per presentation, plus 10 minutes of discussion time.
Abstracts (of no more than 350 words) should be posted or emailed to:
Miss Victoria Allen,
Personal Assistant to the Dean of the Royal Air Force College,
Cranwell, Sleaford,
Lincolnshire NG34 8HB,
United Kingdom
Email: email@example.com
Abstracts must be received by 1 November 2008.
All prospective contributors will be notified in late November.
Queries of an academic nature should be directed to:
Dr Joel Hayward,
Dean of the Royal Air Force College
(and Conference Convenor), at:
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Tel.: +44 (0)1400 268020
We are particularly keen to ensure that graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and junior faculty are able to play an active role in the conference.
In addition to making attendance entirely free to all currently enrolled university students we may be able to provide limited financial support (beyond purely transport and accommodation) to any students whose papers have been accepted for presentation.

MONTREAL, QC--(Marketwired - March 28, 2014) - As taxpayers hurry to get all the necessary paperwork to their accountants so they can e-file returns before April 15, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) announced an update to its electronic signature policies that include acceptance of e-signatures on Forms 8878 and 8879. Silanis e-SignLive™, a leading electronic signature provider, provides Electronic Return Originators (EROs) with everything needed to immediately comply with the IRS's e-signature requirements.
"This added convenience for both the tax preparer and tax payer shows that the IRS is making inroads towards a paperless environment," said Silanis Vice President and co-founder Michael Laurie. "A tax preparer can now send these forms to their customer to sign online, and get a compliant e-signed record back in just minutes -- without any of the hassles of faxing or mailing. And because e-signatures are available as a cloud service, the technology is as accessible to self-employed tax professionals as it is to large accounting firms."
e-SignLive is available both on-premises and in the cloud. While an on-premise physical deployment offers maximum control, a growing number of businesses are opting for the cloud service because Silanis takes care of provisioning the servers, hardware and software -- meaning they can get up and running quickly with little to no IT involvement.
Regardless of deployment, e-SignLive incorporates digital signature technology and embeds the signature audit trail information directly into the e-signed document. This creates a tamper-evident document and helps ensure non-repudiation. Regardless of whether the signature is scripted and captured on an iPad or with a click-to-sign button on the PC, the intent and consent of a signer is captured.
In addition, e-SignLive presents online documents as they would appear on paper, all in the correct order, on any web browser. Documents and data relevant to the signing process are securely captured and stored. This includes reproducing the exact appearance and order of all web screens, documents and legal disclosures; how long the signer spent on each page; and all actions they took during the review and signing process. So if ever a transaction is questioned, the electronic evidence can be easily retrieved and presented in an easy-to-view format.
Businesses that want to follow the IRS's lead and get started on e-signatures can start with the free trial of e-SignLive.
About Silanis Technology
Businesses of all sizes choose Silanis Technology when e-signatures matter. With more than 600 million documents processed every year, e-SignLive™ is the most widely used e-signature solution around the world. Thousands of organizations, big and small, including the leading banks, insurers, credit providers, pharmaceutical and government agencies trust e-SignLive as their platform to make business digital. On premise or in the cloud, e-SignLive delivers the best customer experience while improving legal and regulatory compliance. Learn more: www.silanis.com, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+.

Featured Golf News
Couples Still Seeking First USGA Title
Incredibly, one of golf's most accomplished contemporary players, Fred Couples, has never won a USGA championship. Not as an amateur, a top-flight PGA Tour pro, or as a member of the over-50 Champions Tour.
The 53-year-old Seattle native, inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame earlier this year, accumulated 15 titles on the PGA Tour - including the 1992 Masters Tournament. Even though he's in his 50s, Couples remains a force every year at Augusta National Golf Club.
He has two wins on the European Tour and another eight on the Champions Tour since joining it in 2010. Among the latter victories on the senior circuit are two majors - the 2011 Senior Players Championship and the 2012 Senior Open Championship. Couples has also been on five Ryder Cup teams - contributing to two wins, a tie and two losses, and six Presidents Cup squads - all victories, with the last two with him serving as the USA team captain.
But a USGA title has been elusive as one of the game's most popular players - one often listed as one the "coolest" golfers in history for his beautifully rhythmic, powerful swing, and fashion sense, which has led to him appearing in numerous television commercials.
Couples can change all that USGA-title nonsense with a win in this week's U.S. Senior Open, which starts Thursday at Omaha Country Club in Nebraska.
Since joining the Champions Tour Couples' best chance to win this championship came in 2010 his own back yard. That year the U.S. Senior Open was held at Sahalee Country Club just east of Seattle. After firing a 5-under 65 at the tight, tree-lined course on Saturday to tie Bernhard Langer for the 54-hole lead, Couples closed with an even-par 70 - to Langer's sparkling 67, finishing as the runner-up by three strokes to the German and fellow Hall of Fame member.
On Wednesday in Omaha, Couples met with reporters and talked about the venue and his chances to finally get that maiden USGA title. Here's what the long-hitting player nicknamed "Boom-Boom" had to say to the media.
MODERATOR: All right, ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to welcome Fred Couples here into the Media Center. Fred is a 15 time winner on the PGA Tour, winner of last year's Senior British Open, runner up at the 2010 U.S. Senior Open, and a 2013 World Golf Hall of Fame inductee. Thank you for joining us.
FRED COUPLES: Thank you.
MODERATOR: Now, Fred, you've maintained a high level of play for a long time, into your 40s, now into your 50s, and even this year at the Masters, one stroke off the lead through 36 holes. What's enabled you to do so here into your early 50s?
FRED COUPLES: I think the Masters part of it is a lot of course knowledge. If I do a couple things well there, I feel like I can still play that course. If you look at in my late 40s, I was reading what Monty said about making cuts and not being real competitive. I don't know what his exact words were. I felt like I kept playing, kept my card, did all that fun stuff. And then when I turned 50, I had a great first year. I waited the whole time to play the U.S. Senior Open in my hometown of Seattle and lost to Bernhard Langer. And then really since then, I think what keeps you going is a little bit of health and I hit the ball a long way. I still enjoy playing. I don't play that much. This is a nice little stretch where I'm playing, but when I get to playing an event or two and then go to the next one or two, I seem that I can pick my game up pretty quickly. I feel like I'm competitive out here every week I play.
Q. Of course, this Fall coming up, you have the Presidents Cup. You'll be captain for the third time. Talk a little bit about that. You've named Davis Love III and Jay Haas as your captain. How much preparation how are you able to balance your playing career out here on the Champions Tour and getting ready for the Presidents Cup?
FRED COUPLES: The Presidents Cup, the Tour does more than half the work. Jay and I - this is our third year doing it. Davis invited me to be the captain, assistant captain for the Ryder Cup last year. So I felt like - the first time I got the job, Davis was a lot younger. I was hoping he'd make the team. Now as he's older, he had a little neck surgery done. So it would be hard for him to make the team this year. So I assumed he would want to be captain. So I have great assistants. And then the rest of it, picking clothing out. That was done months ago. Now it's just down to kind of gifts.
Q. And Kenny Perry was in here a little bit earlier trying to make his case for playing at Memorial.
FRED COUPLES: He did that pretty well in Pittsburgh, and then I saw him at Muirfield. We both played at Jack's tournament, and he said, you know, I own this place. If I play well this week, will you give me a thought? I said sure. Obviously, he - I think he missed the cut. That's what I'm looking for. I get two picks. I don't know who they're going to be. I haven't really even looked at it as of yet. But when it gets there, it will be guys who have played at Memorial and done well, I think. They're obviously going to be close to making the team. I don't think I'm going to venture too far down the list, but that has a lot to do with it.
MODERATOR: Let's open up the floor to questions.
Q. Two part question, first of all. Your thoughts on this golf course?
FRED COUPLES: Yeah, I played nine holes yesterday, the front nine, and then I'm going to go out and play most of the holes today, especially the nine on the back. I really like the front. I know the back nine, I hear, is hillier, maybe a little tougher to judge some shots. I think it's - the front nine was beautiful. Perfect for our games. It kind of gives you a little bit of length. The 8th hole is 480, gradually up the hill, and a couple of par 3s. I think it's the 3rd hole maybe that plays 240. So those are U.S. Open type holes, and the rest of them are very small greens with a lot of little nooks and crannies. I think it's a great course.
Q. You had some comments in the Chicago paper a couple of weeks ago. You said at the time, I'm probably going to get in trouble for saying that, about comparing North Shore, which is a very good course, with here. Were you taken in context?
FRED COUPLES: No. I was saying North Shore could easily have a U.S. Open. I've never been here. So I have nothing to compare it to. When I was in Chicago, they were asking questions, how do you like the course? I said, this could easily be a U.S. Senior Open type course, not comparing it. To be honest, I don't even know the name of this course. Is it Omaha Country Club?
MODERATOR: It is.
FRED COUPLES: I know we're in Omaha, and I know it's a good course. I couldn't compare it because I've never seen it. Now, Chicago didn't have the amount of people we have here, I will say that. There is a ton of support, and this is, I think, going to be a great U.S. Senior Open.
Q. Fred, just wanted to ask you, how's your back doing? Number two, you've got three straight runner up finishes coming into this. Do you feel like you're about to knock the door down?
FRED COUPLES: What was the last part of that?
Q. Do you feel like you're about ready to knock the door down?
FRED COUPLES: Am I ready to knock the door down? I'll answer that first. Yes, I'd like to win something. I tried to play the member guest a month ago and finished second there too. So I am on a roll here. Out in Newport Beach. I feel good. I took all last week off. I didn't play any. I felt like I was playing very, very well, but I didn't feel like I could practice. And then I'm playing here, the British Open, and the Senior British Open, which might be a little much. I'm going to try and do it. So my back feels good, knock on wood. I wouldn't be here - I skipped the Senior PGA because I just physically thought I couldn't play as well as I'd like. And this is a very, very tough golf course. So you have to be ready to play, and I feel very healthy right now and ready to go.
Q. Just it's a common question among everybody that's come in here really and how much physical conditioning is going to play into this week and also playing off of some potentially awkward lies, some downhill lies and so forth. How does that all factor into your preparation or your thoughts on it?
FRED COUPLES: Well, for me - I can't speak - for me, side-hill lies and downhill lies are very hard to get to with my back. If I drive it in the rough and don't have a great lie, I'm not going to do too much out of it. I'll probably play it safe. I'm sure I will be driving it in the rough a few times. Like I say, the front nine, I saw there were some - the ninth hole had a little twist and turn to it. But so far, it's been okay, but I'm not going to try and do something that I don't think I can do on one particular shot or hole. But it is a very, very good course. I think there are some spots you have to hit. People are saying, I don't know, if you drive it on the 4th hole, the par 5, 5th hole, you're going to get it down the hill. I mean, you have to hit a drive right within a two yard area down the right side so it will roll down there. I'm almost thinking maybe hitting a 3 wood off the tee. People see things differently. They all think, if you're a long hitter, if you hit an absolute perfect drive, it's a huge advantage. I can tell you, I drove it in the left rough, and I could barely move it out of the rough. You want to get it in play.
I particularly think the greens are going to be very, very tough. There's kind of like some certain spots that they'll put the pins in, but if you miss it 50 feet right, you're going to be coming up over ridges, and I think that's on any U.S. Open course. You saw Merion. Last year I walked around at Olympic Club. People were - those greens are tiny and just the slope on those. So here we have a little bit of moisture because they're trying to spray the greens a little bit. I don't think they're going to get rock hard, maybe Saturday and Sunday, but the good scoring will be Thursday and Friday. I think the course will get tougher each and every day.
Q. Fred, have you looked back on these recent second places a little frustrating? You had the three putt late at Fox Chapel. Just a few little things that haven't gone your way?
FRED COUPLES: I think things go your way. Where was the first second place? In Chicago? No, in Alabama. Alabama, I played pretty well. I hit a horrible shot on the 71st hole, par 5, that David Frost looked like he was never going to birdie, and I had a 3 iron to the green, and I hit it 30 yards right of the green. I tried to work on that, not that particular shot, but my game. I went to Chicago and was not really in the tournament, but I got going the last day. I think I started seven strokes behind Craig. I was 6 under par, 7 under par for a while, and I hit a 9 iron to the green there and half shanked it in the bunker. I think disappointment is a couple of those shots, but overall I played pretty well.
Then on Sunday with Kenny Perry and Duffy, I felt like we all played really well, but I putted very, very mediocre. I three putted on, I think, a par 4 I drove, which was a pretty easy putt. Then I got it going or trying to catch Kenny, and I three putted the 15th hole from about 10 feet. Other than that, they made a good amount of putts, not crazy. Kenny was a machine. He shot 63, 63, 64 the last three rounds, and I shot 68 on Sunday, which for as good as I played was a very mediocre score, and couldn't quite catch him.
Q. What's the process that you take the day before a tournament? Do you still get nervous or jitters before a tournament after so many years?
FRED COUPLES: I get - you know, this is - hey, I've only played nine holes. So I'm going to go out and play it. I'll feel a little more comfortable. But when you play a course over and over and over, you kind of know when you can maybe hit a 3 wood off one of the tees or where to miss it if there's such a thing. When people say that, you kind of get confused, but I know, if I drive it down the left side and I miss it in the left rough, it's better than in the right rough. So those are things that you try and find out.
But nerves, I think, come when you're a little bit uneasy about what you're doing, and then when you get near the lead, you know, I think you're nervous, but two things are going to happen. You're either going to do well and win or you're not. When you really fail is when you do something kind of - if you shoot 40 on the back nine or double bogey the 17th hole, then you just kind of look at that, and the nerves got to you. It happens all the time. But I think on a course like this for all of us, I think it's getting used to it, and then tomorrow I have a late tee time. I might not be crazy aggressive because I don't really know the course that well. I don't even know the greens, and I don't think many guys - you could play two or three practice rounds here, and that's better than what I'm doing, but I think you can tire yourself out and play a little too much too. So today I'll get 18 holes in, and I'll be ready to go tomorrow.
Q. I can't pass this up, but give us the details of the runner up at Newport. What happened there? Who were you with?
FRED COUPLES: No. We were outclassed. I played with my buddy Lynn Roach. We played in the Championship Flight, and we lost to a couple young guys.
Q. Who were they?
FRED COUPLES: Well, I know one guy, Jordan Hasser. I don't know his partner. We didn't play with him. We were behind them. They were playing, and we had a pretty good last day to go into second place.
Q. Fred, how do you embrace being the fan favorite? Your name and Tom Watson's are the two that have been going through the fans for months and maybe even a year before the tournament got here. How do you embrace that?
FRED COUPLES: How do I embrace that? Or how do I brace for that? To be honest with you, you know, you - everyone's been in hot weather, but my first day here was yesterday. I'm out there playing. It's a million degrees. It's a million degrees on them too. But when you go from the 5th green to the 6th tee and they're lined up, you can't sign everyone's autograph. You'll be out there nine hours. So you just cordially sign a couple and go, and it's nice that all the people are out here. It starts tomorrow. So I'm going to go play today, and I'm sure I'll sign a bunch of autographs.
To be honest, we love it because there's so many people out here. It's a major event. I think it's in a place that probably doesn't have many professional golf tournaments. So they've come out and supported it. I've heard how many volunteers. So all that is a positive. But as players, you got to go out there, and sometimes you just do your best on signing stuff. As far as a fan favorite, any time you're playing in a regular tournament like on Thursday through Sunday, you want people out there to watch you and root for you and scream for you. But I think sometimes people look at he signed my autograph, he's a good guy. He didn't sign my autograph, he's a bad guy. After 33 years of doing it, it goes in one ear and out the other.
Q. Fred, you're involved with Presidents Cup, and I was wondering, Tom Watson's going to be in here later. I was just wondering what your thoughts were when he was named captain for the second time for the Ryder Cup. If that was a good move?
FRED COUPLES: No, I think it's a great move. What year did he - he did it. They won - or I was on the team. We won. So that's a good thing. We have a winning Ryder Cup captain that's going to do it for a second time. I mean, he's Tom Watson. He's won the British Open a million times, and he's going to be the captain overseas. He's one of my all time favorites. He's helped me out a lot. It's just such a long time from now, but to speak about Tom getting the job, I think it was great for the PGA of America to appoint him the captain, and he's chosen Andy North to be an assistant. They're best friends. So they'll have it all figured out. 15 months from now, once the team gets there, then really I've heard Tom say it a bunch, any captain will say it, the players play, and you just try and get them as ready as you can and have fun with them.
Q. What score would you take this week?
FRED COUPLES: What's the par, 70?
FRED COUPLES: See, I knew that. I just thought I'd ask. Four times 70 is 280. I would take 272. Probably won't win, but I'll take it right now, and I'll sit in my room and watch TV for four days. I think someone - honestly, there may be somebody 7 or 8 under after the first two rounds, but it's a lot like some of the old courses, like Westchester. Guys would shoot 63, 68, and then they'd shoot 70, 71 on the weekend and still win. This is that kind of course. It's going to toughen up. But 8 under is very good.
Q. Also, what do you remember of your last time here? You played with Leslie Nielsen the last time.
FRED COUPLES: I did. I don't remember the guys who built the course, the family.
Q. The Gottsch family.
FRED COUPLES: The Gottsch family. That was a long time ago. And I bumped into someone who caddied for me. Was it Riviera, correct? What's the name of the course?
Q. Indian Creek.
FRED COUPLES: Indian Creek, well. Is Indian Creek near here?
Q. About 18 miles west of here.
FRED COUPLES: I may go out and practice after this day here. Leslie Nielsen, and we played the grand opening of the course. It was fun. That's the last time I was here. I will come back, though, for the baseball when I'm kind of retired and done. Stadium looks awesome.
MODERATOR: Any other questions for Fred?
FRED COUPLES: All right. Thank you.

Do you feel misunderstood and forgotten? In the book of Genesis, we read the remarkable story of Joseph, a young man abandoned by his brothers, left for dead and at one point in his life, unjustly accused of a crime he didn't commit.

My Times Are In Your HandsA great disservice has been done to the cause of Christ by those who have tended to suggest that Christianity is all brightness and laughter. Such a perspective is neither true to the biblical record, nor to the human experience. The joy of which the Bible speaks is not found in isolation from the rigors of life. James encourages us to "count it all joy" when we face trials of various kinds. The studies contained in this album make it very clear that Christians grieve, too. They, also, seek to provide a biblical framework for dealing with affliction, trial, and disappointment. Underpinning it all is the doctrine of God's providence, which affords the believer the opportunity to rest in the awareness that our times are in His hands. This album may well prove to be a great help to friends and neighbors who are trying to make sense of some of life's storms.
