Family Court Social Services Division
Counseling Clinic
Child Guidance/Family Counseling Clinic
The Child Guidance/Family Counseling Clinic is designed to provide psychological, psycho-educational, and neuro-psychological assessments. Training and consultation are provided as well. The clients are seen on an outpatient basis by appointment only. Detained clients are seen at the courthouse. The program is also responsible for providing the Court with in-depth domestic relations home studies to assist the judiciary in child custody matters.
Child Guidance Clinic Brochure
Pre-doctoral Internship
The Child Guidance Clinic is located in the Family Court's Court Social Services Division within the D.C. Superior Court. The Clinic's functions include conducting court-ordered psychological evaluations and engaging in psychotherapy with adolescents (and some children) who have come to the attention of the court.
Since 1996, the Child Guidance Clinic has served as a major rotation for the Howard University Counseling Service's American Psychological Association (APA) accredited internship program. The Clinic has maintained an active externship program in clinical psychology involving the local universities and professional schools in the D.C. area. In the beginning years of the externship program, the need for local internship training sites prompted the development of a rotation in psychological assessment that was part of the already-accredited Howard University Counseling Services internship program. In order to formalize the training that was being sought at the Clinic through area schools, the Child Guidance Clinic began the process of applying for APPIC membership in 1999. With the successful completion of six classes of interns, the Clinic program is currently fully accredited through APA. Five full-time licensed psychologists and two deputy clerks, who assist with the administration of the Clinic's programs, staff the Clinic.
Interns are considered trainees, but are expected to function as psychology professionals and as representatives of the Court. Interns have a stipend of $20,000 per annum, paid bi-weekly. As temporary employees, interns do not have access to the same benefits as full time Court employees do. For example, interns do not receive paid health insurance, and are therefore encouraged to seek personal health insurance through their universities or by securing their own personal policy. Also interns are compensated based on a flexible 40-hour Monday thru Friday work week; however interns do not accrue sick and annual leave, compensatory (comp) time or holiday compensation. Training off-site is included as part of the 2000 hour requirement for internship completion.
The training program is built upon the Practitioner-Scholar model, which emphasizes the use and integration of the extant research in assessing, diagnosing, and treating clients with the most up-to-date and effective techniques and interventions. The Clinic defines scholarship to include theory, empirically based research, and analysis of current trends in the profession. The internship is designed to integrate this base of scholarship with the practice of psychological interventions. Consistent with research outcome data, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral approaches are employed according to the client's needs. The professional staff and interns engage in the direct delivery of mental health services to adolescents under court supervision. Ultimately interns will be able to function as knowledgeable and skilled professionals in a variety of mental health service delivery settings.
The philosophy of the training program is to prepare interns for professional practice as entry-level psychologists. The internship strives to foster scholarly inquiry and develop core competencies in assessment, psychotherapy, consultation, supervision, and multicultural and ethical issues. Interns are exposed to a wide range of clinical experiences and diagnostic challenges. Assessment is an emphasis in this internship; training in assessment also develops the skills to think critically about many psychological interventions. This will be achieved by working in concert with the judicial system and the general community. Interns experience the full spectrum of Clinic duties. They participate as colleagues-in-training with access to staff members court-wide. Their involvement in the many programs offered by the Clinic and Court Social Services is inclusive.
The Psychology Training Program
The population served at the Child Guidance Clinic includes adolescents and children (and sometimes parents) who come to the attention of the court through the juvenile system. The Clinic utilizes a combination of didactic and experiential training activities, with a strong focus on the latter. The core components of the internship include psychological assessment, individual and group counseling, supervision and consultation, ethics and multicultural awareness. The program's training goals are designed to prepare interns for work as entry-level psychologists:
To administer and interpret clinical psychological evaluations
To practice individual and group psychotherapy and counseling
To develop skills in training and consultation with other professionals in a multi- disciplinary setting
To learn and practice the elements of supervision including theory, process, and application
To develop an awareness of multicultural issues as an integral part of professional and ethical practice
To foster scholarly inquiry for the purpose of integrating research and practice
Psychological Assessment
The Clinic staff recognizes that interns present with diverse training needs in assessment. Taking into account each intern's past experiences with psychological assessment, the training is individualized and graduated. An in-depth, immersion orientation period is followed by intense individualized supervision, frequent feedback, and in-depth case presentation. Cases are screened and assigned to interns by staff psychologists on the basis of the intern's growing level of competence.
Psychological assessment is emphasized in this internship. Assessment training provides the conceptual underpinning of psychological treatment and intervention. The training program reflects this objective by devoting considerable time to the assessment process, and having a graded approach. Interns initially are trained in fundamentals of test administration and scoring as a prelude to their first assessment experience. Weekly Training and Assessment Supervision reinforces the orientation training. For the first month of internship, interns complete two assessments; for the remainder of the internship interns complete one assessment per week. Assessments include test administration, scoring and analyzing the data, engaging in weekly supervision (both group and individual), and writing and revising integrative reports. The assessment process is closely monitored by the intern's primary supervisor, with the expectation that the intern will develop increasing levels of autonomy as the year progresses. The intern, in concert with the supervisor, reviews pertinent background information in order to tailor a specific and relevant test battery to answer the referral questions. Through comprehensive assessment batteries, interns are introduced to the entire range of psychological methods and diagnostic considerations. This is achieved through: clinical interview, developmental history, family systems, behavioral observation and rating scales, collateral interviews (parent, caretaker, counselor, etc.), cognitive, educational, self-report and projective instruments. Computer scoring techniques, hypothesis testing and integration of data is accomplished through individual and group supervision with the licensed staff.
These comprehensive assessments are the basis for consultation by the court, school and other agencies involved in the juvenile's rehabilitation. The assessments further assist in the disposition process, in educational placement decisions, inpatient hospitalization, probation supervision, and addiction treatment. Less frequently for the interns, evaluations may serve to inform the court regarding issues of Competency to Stand Trial and Transfer to Adult Jurisdiction.
The Psychology Training Program 2
The following are the core competencies of the training program:
Psychological Assessment Core Competencies
Standardized administration, scoring and interpretation of a range of psychological assessment instruments
Formulating appropriate DSM-IV diagnoses
Conducting clinical interviews
Conceptualizing cases
Testing special populations (i.e. cultural and linguistic difference, physically challenged, developmentally delayed and cognitively impaired individuals)
Integrative report writing
Individual and Group Psychotherapy Core Competencies
Establishing relationships with a diverse (culturally, developmentally) population
Understanding individual and group process issues and own strengths/weaknesses as a clinician
Understanding psycho-legal concepts in the psycho-educational group and understanding group process concepts in process groups
Able to screen potential group members and formulate appropriate goals in different group modalities
Conceptualizing a client from different theoretical perspectives and setting appropriate treatment goals
Treatment planning and case management
Writing treatment and progress summaries, and termination reports
Individual and Group Psychotherapy
Individual psychotherapy is a primary competency taught during the internship. Interns are assigned up to seven court-referred clients who may continue in psychotherapy throughout their probationary period. Interns gain experience with culturally and diagnostically diverse juveniles. Individual treatment may be short-term, long-term (one-year) or crisis intervention. The primary supervisor provides supervision.
The individual psychotherapy portion of the training program is conducted with adolescents and young adults. Interns participate in individual psychotherapy supervision each week, and a weekly process/didactic group supervision in which theories, concepts, case formulations, and historical information are applied to specific cases. Through individual case presentations and case formulations, interns are exposed to a wide variety of emotional, cognitive, social, educational and developmental problems. Mainstream approaches to therapy are taught including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal and supportive approaches. These diverse therapeutic approaches are applied to the understanding and treatment of each juvenile.
Interns are responsible to the court for the provision of monthly progress reports that apprise the Juvenile Probation Officer and the presiding judge of the juvenile's progress in treatment. This provides the opportunity for the Court to monitor the youth's psychological functioning in addition to monitoring the compliance with probation requirements.
By the conclusion of the internship, interns are expected to have developed entry-level competencies in (as assessed by achieving a satisfactory grade on formal evaluation form): forming, developing and maintaining a therapeutic relationship; formulating case conceptualizations; creating treatment plans; utilizing case management skills; employing effective interventions and understanding the process of psychotherapy.
Group psychotherapy training has two components: The first component involves on-site experience in the Child Guidance Clinic treating juvenile sex offenders or restoring competency for trial. The second component is comprised of a group therapy rotation at Howard University's Counseling Service. Interns participate with the Howard University interns in a weekly group psychotherapy seminar. This entails observation of a therapy group followed by discussion, participation in their own process group, group supervision, culminating with the intern co-leading a group. Howard University psychologists who hold specialized certifications in group therapy supervise interns in group therapy.
Interns have the opportunity to initiate and form groups on specialized topics. In the past, interns have led groups addressing a wide range of clinical needs: grief, teenage fathers, self-esteem, anger management, sex education and drug education.
By the conclusion of the internship, interns are expected to develop entry-level competencies (as assessed by achieving a satisfactory grade on formal evaluation form) in: screening potential group members, writing group therapy treatment contracts, understanding theories of group processes, applying theories to the here-and-now process when co-leading a group, interpreting group processes, and gaining self-knowledge through participation in their own process group.
Training and Consultation Core Competencies 2
Interns further develop consultation skills through regular contact with court staff about their clinical work, i.e., providing verbal feedback about written evaluations and monthly progress reports concerning therapy progress. Training skills are developed by regularly presenting on areas of assessment and therapy to extern students and staff during weekly seminars and supervision.
Training and Consultation Core Competencies
Consultation with other multi-disciplinary professionals
Presentations to peers, staff, and possibly other professionals
Training and Consultation
The Child Guidance Clinic has a strong commitment to professional development. By the conclusion of the internship, interns are expected to develop entry-level competencies (as assessed by achieving a satisfactory grade on formal evaluation form) in: teaching, collaboration with staff, and communicating psychological information to other disciplines effectively and clearly. Interns will understand how different settings influence how information is communicated and disseminated. In this context, consultation in the court setting involves high levels of sensitivity to issues of confidentiality and disclosure of client information.
Training and consultation services may occur in a variety of settings: in Court the intern may be asked to clarify treatment needs, interpret recommendations, discuss diagnoses or assist with placement issues. Interns may provide testimony as fact witnesses based on their treatment or assessment of a particular client. In the Child Guidance Clinic, interns will provide training at weekly seminars in assessment and psychotherapy. Interns will observe and supervise extern counseling activities in the Juvenile Sex Offender treatment program.
Ethics and Cultural Diversity
By the conclusion of internship, interns are expected to have gained entry-level understanding (as assessed by achieving a satisfactory grade on formal evaluation form) of: the Ethical Standards of the American Psychological Association, the Specialty Guidelines for Forensic Psychologists, the District of Columbia Ethics Code. Interns are expected to demonstrate an awareness of ethical issues and sensitivity to ethical conflicts and their resolution.
Adherence to the APA Code of Ethics is integral to all aspects of the internship. Interns are expected to incorporate the ethical code in their delivery of clinical services and be able to apply the code to other professional activities such as teaching, supervision and consultation. Training in the ethical code is continuous and stressed throughout the training year. The APA Ethical Principles and Specialty Guidelines are provided in the Intern Handbook. Participation in an in-house ethics seminar is required at the beginning of the internship.
Principles of cultural and individual diversity are applied to all training activities. The Clinic's population is comprised of a culturally and diagnostically diverse population. Therefore, through their clinical work, interns learn experientially about the influence of race (primarily African-American), ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, culture (i.e., urban), and socio-economic status on both psychotherapy and assessment. By providing a combined psychotherapy outplacement at Howard University Counseling Center, interns gain a breadth of experience in diversity factors such as age, socio-economic status, culture, and within-group differences.
The internship's emphasis on cultural and diagnostic diversity is reflected in supervision, didactic training, and assigned readings. The impact of culture and diagnosis are interwoven when choosing and interpreting tests, psychotherapies and communicating psychological findings to the court and others.
By the conclusion of internship, interns are expected to develop these entry-level competencies (as assessed by achieving a satisfactory grade on formal evaluation form): understanding diversity issues as they affect assessment, psychotherapy, and consultation; developing self-awareness and understanding of the intern's own reactions to cultural differences and the influence of these differences on the therapeutic relationship.
Ethics and Cultural Diversity Core Competencies
Understanding the influence of cultural diversity on assessment (e.g., construct an Individualized test battery that takes into account cultural, linguistic, and physical and cognitive abilities and interpret test data taking into account relevant cultural issues) and therapy
Developing sensitivity to diversity issues
Having a familiarity with the APA Principles and Code of Conduct, the Specialty Guidelines for Forensic Psychologists, and the District of Columbia Ethics Code
Developing an awareness of ethical issues and how to resolve ethical conflicts with clients
Supervision and Program Evaluation
Training in supervision is another core aspect of the internship training program. Training includes didactic presentations, staff models techniques of supervision in group and individual modalities; interns may incorporate or assimilate these methods in their developing supervisory identities. In addition, interns supervise pre-doctoral psychology externs who are engaged in co-leading psycho-educational groups, thereby providing them with direct supervision experience. By the conclusion of internship, interns are expected to develop this entry-level competency (as assessed by achieving a satisfactory grade on formal evaluation form): understanding theories of supervision and applying them to the process of supervision
Staff values intern feedback, and attempts to create an atmosphere of openness that encourages spontaneous and honest feedback. Interns are required to formally evaluate the internship program and the facility organization on a quarterly basis, and informally throughout the internship year. Evaluation is both written and verbal. Staff and interns meet quarterly to discuss interns' feedback and suggestions for ways to improve the training experience.
By the conclusion of internship, interns are expected to develop this entry-level competency (as assessed by achieving a satisfactory grade on formal evaluation form): to assess the interplay between individual training needs and the efficacy and efficiency of a training program's goals and functions.
Supervision and Program Evaluation Core Competencies
Understanding theories of supervision and applying theories to supervision of externs
Assessing the interplay between individual training needs and the efficacy and efficiency of a training program's goals and functions
Scholarly Inquiry
The Clinic integrates theory and empirically based research with the practice of psychology. The training staff strives to remain conversant with the latest literature in the field and aware of changes in professional standards and laws governing the practice of psychology. Research time is built into the internship program. Interns have the opportunity to either complete their own dissertation research, or use the Clinic's extensive data/archives for potential research. The Clinic encourages interns to complete their dissertation by allotting time for this activity, typically taken for part of a Friday. The Clinic has a large amount of archival data than can be utilized for investigative purposes. As with any research process, any new research undertaken must be approved by the Court's Internal Review Board (IRB), in conjunction with approval from the student's advisor and University IRB. By the conclusion of internship, interns are expected to develop this entry-level competency in the application of scientific theory to the practice of psychology.
Scholarly Inquiry Core Competencies
Applying scientific theory in their practice of psychological assessment
Applying scientific theory in their practice of psychotherapy
Completing psychological research (dissertation or other)
Offsite Training
Training at Howard University
Through didactic group training on Tuesdays and experiential training, interns are exposed to theory and technique of group intervention. The concept of the "group as a whole" instead of individuals in a group is the theoretical model from which groups are approached. Experiences with groups range from short-term counseling, with purpose and task being focused around specific issues to on-going, open-ended psychotherapy groups.
Interns may choose from three outplacements: 1) At the Howard University Counseling Service, interns may engage in individual psychotherapy with students from Howard University. Supervision is provided by Howard University Staff. 2) At the Child Advocacy Center, interns may participate in (primarily) play therapy with abused or neglected children. Supervision is provided by a staff psychologist or by the psychologist at the Child Advocacy Center. 3) At St. Elizabeth's Hospital, interns may participate in a variety of adult forensic training opportunities.
Candidates must be enrolled in a doctoral program in clinical or counseling psychology. All formal course work and comprehensive examinations must have been completed. Candidates must have completed two years of practicum (1000 hours) training.

Dear General Assembly Moderator Neal Presa and Stated Clerk Gradye Parsons:
I was delighted to read aloud to a session last night, as we were studying the Book of Order, the following two paragraphs about our confessions:
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) states its faith and bears witness to God's grace in Jesus Christ in the creeds and confessions in The Book of Confessions. In these statements the church declares to its members and to the world who and what it is, what it believes, and what it resolves to do. These statements identify the church as a community of people known by its convictions as well as by its actions. They guide the church in its study and interpretation of the Scriptures; they summarize the essence of Reformed Christian tradition; they direct the church in maintaining sound doctrines; they equip the church for its work of proclamation. They serve to strengthen personal commitment and the life and witness of the community of believers.
The creeds and confessions of this church arose in response to particular circumstances within the history of God's people. They claim the truth of the Gospel at those points where their authors perceived that truth to be at risk. They are the result of prayer, thought, and experience within a living tradition. They appeal to the universal truth of the Gospel while expressing that truth within the social and cultural assumptions of their time. They affirm a common faith tradition, while also from time to time standing in tension with each other. (emphasis added)
The parts that I have underlined affirm and indicate, of course:
- That the confessions are a statement of the church's current faith (note the present tense), not simply a museum collection of artifacts of what the church used to believe;
- That the confessions are not only a statement of current faith but also, therefore, govern our actions, what we do together as a church; and
- That despite minor variations among the confessions, they continue to affirm a common faith tradition in which we continue to stand, which we continue to believe, and by which we continue to agree to be governed.
This is astounding! What this means, of course, is that the advice Paul Hooker gave you on Friday afternoon, July 6, 2012, in regard to the proposal to redefine marriage, was totally wrong. It is most certainly not the case that we are free to revise the Book of Order into contradiction with The Book of Confessions, since even the Book of Order itself acknowledges (1) that the confessions state our current faith, (2) that our confessions declare what we are to do, and (3) that they do so within a coherent faith tradition.
Therefore, the action of the assembly to declare itself free to propose to the presbyteries that the Book of Order be revised into contradiction with The Book of Confessions violated not only The Book of Confessions and Robert's Rules of Order, which was done with impunity, but also, strangely enough, the very Book of Order itself (which was purported to be held in higher esteem), because of these two paragraphs. I am sorry I did not remember them then. I hope we shall not make this mistake again.
Grace and Peace,
Dr. James C. Goodloe IV, Executive Director, Foundation for Reformed Theology
4103 Monument Avenue, Richmond, Virginia 23230

If you're short on cash then a reward can be something as little as heading out for a coffee, taking a walk in the sun in the park, even popping out for a quick pint at the pub with a friend. Whatever helps you to chill out.
Disheartened by all of the bad headlines? We don't blame you! The important thing to remember is newspapers love bad news – it sells, after all. But there is good news out there for jobseekers… Skills gaps in industries like engineering and IT mean there are more jobs than candidates, green jobs are opening up new opportunities and there's a current boom in temping and contract jobs… And that's just for starters!
...Makes Jack a dull boy! To avoid becoming a Billy no mates and wearing yourself out, remember to maintain the balance between job hunting and enjoying your life. Take time out with family and friends and make sure you don't spend hours at a time glued to a computer, looking for work. Nothing will sap your motivation quicker. Create realistic schedules with breaks – and stick to it!
What's the point, I'll never get it? Why bother, there are too many people looking for work? What a waste of time applying for those jobs is. These are all thoughts that naturally enter all of our heads when struggling to find a new job. Stop! This will only make you feel unmotivated and hinder your job hunt. Look at every knockback as practice, particularly true of interviews, and don't let that little niggling devil on your shoulder convince you that you can't get ahead.
Follow our tips and you may not welcome the tones of your alarm clock but you won't want to hide under the duvet for the entire day.

New Mom Alessandra Ambrosio Shows Off Her Abs in Los Angeles (PHOTOS)
Alessandra Ambrosio gave birth to her second child just four months ago — but you'd never guess it by looking at this latest batch of photos, in which the super-sexy Victoria's Secret model shows off her rock-hard abs.
Donning a pink sports bra and blue short-shorts, the 30-year-old mother-of-two made it impossible not to notice her six-pack and tiny waist as she made her way to a yoga class in Los Angeles. Whatever her secret is, we'll have what she's having.
In May, Ambrosio and her husband, Jamie Mazur, confirmed on Twitter that they had welcomed their second child, a son. A day later, she revealed the son's name, Noah Phoenix.
The couple also has a three-year-old daughter named Anja.
The abs, of course, are all Ambrosio's.
What do you think of Alessandra Ambrosio's svelte figure? Check it out in our gallery, above, then sound off in the comments.

From Himalayan heights to rolling Mongolian flatlands, no locale is too far flung for Justin Downes.
The Whistler, BC-born CEO of Axis Leisure has built a Beijing-based business relying on all things exotic.
But he's disappointed that so few of his fellow Canadian hospitality and tourism entrepreneurs are willing to do the same.
"Most Canadians are too conservative to try something like this," says Downes of the timidness pervading his industry back home.
Axis' primary business is handling logistics between western suppliers and wealthy Chinese entrepreneurs investing in hospitality and tourism for the first time. It also oversees the development and ongoing management for a host of government and private leisure developments in China — from ski resorts to golf courses, hotels and theme parks — amidst many similar services.
Some of the company's most recent projects include a ski resort near the Tibetan border, and a golf course in the western province of Xinjiang.
Downes is far from the only Canuck making his mark in Beijing, but he's surprised that Axis is one of the first companies - Canadian or otherwise - to carve this particular business niche.
"There are a number of Canadians in the Chinese hotel and restaurant game, many as managers... but I would hazard a guess that I am one of only a few - if any - that is focusing on resort development and management," he says, adding that most other Canadian designing, planning and consulting firms with Chinese ties often manage their businesses from back home, only coming to the Far East as needed.
"Aside from us, there are very few Canadians 'on the ground' in China on a day to day basis actively working in the resort development and tourism industry... but I feel confident that we have inroads to most of the core developers and agencies in the country."
While the company is successful, Downes wishes he'd be able to do more business with Canadian suppliers. But, he says, they're often far too timid when faced with such foreign landscapes.
"We receive a lot of attention from the American market, but it's a long romancing period before Canadian suppliers decide they actually want to do something," Downes says. "They're just being cautious in general, as if to say 'I like my life in Toronto or Vancouver, do I really want to be on a plane three times a month, coming to China?'"
In fact, Downes says Canada's successful weathering of the recent recession has actually led to complacency in the face of leisure business prospects with China. Meanwhile, the U.S. economic bust helped spark a Far East hospitality and tourism boom of sorts. American companies such as Kuo Diedrich Architects and Ripley's Entertainment have been lured to the Middle Kingdom and are now suppling Axis and the resorts of its Chinese clients with everything from architectural services to branding and interior designing.
That wasn't the case when Downes founded the company in 2006.
"Everyone was just talking about investing in China then. By the time they were ready, the market crashed," Downes says. "Then they thought they couldn't afford to put anything into China. But a few years into the recession, a lot of American suppliers started coming to China out of necessity."
Christoph Mueller, the founder and director of the Beijing based outdoor adventure and trekking company Hiddenchina.net, says the eastward shift was inevitable.
"I have to say I don't feel sorry for the US industry, since many US ski resorts have rates which exceed the most expensive ones in Europe by up to 100 per cent or even more," he says. "With a downturn in economy, less and less people can afford to do winter sports. The golden times are definitely over."
In China, on the other hand, skiing is seen as a fairly affordable sport, and has been enjoyed by the middle and upper classes for about a decade. Downes says its novelty is far from wearing off, but the sport's status as a leisure activity has been surpassed by another North American pastime, golf.
"Skiing can be relatively affordable for your junior office worker, but golf is an elitist sport here, way out of the stratosphere for most Chinese people," says Downes. He adds that the average $60 USD fee to rent ski equipment for the day pales in comparison to the cost of clubs, carts and caddies — not to mention sky-high club dues that can tally up to $100,000 USD on China's most prestigious courses.
"A lot of big Chinese business deals are being made on the golf course now," he says, adding that those elite negotiators are quickly turning the sport into a literal old boys club. Downes cites the planning and design of locker rooms that Axis helps to coordinate for its golf course clientele, who often order five times more men's lockers than women's — revealing the true, testosterone dominated nature of China's business field. "They're not even assuming (golf) is going to catch on with women."
But Downes doesn't think this trend will last long, and says he can't wait to see feminist Chinese entrepreneurs becoming as mainstream on his golf course resorts as any other Chinese client.
"That change will come. It's only been in the past 15 years that this country has had the money to invest in these sports," he says. "That's what makes it fun — it's 2013, but you can still feel like a bit of a pioneer here."

Clay Shirky gave a talk entitled "It's Not Information Overload. It's Filter Failure." at O'Reilly Media's Web 2.0 Expo. The following paragraphs constitute a short summary I file here mainly as a reminder for myself. I encourage you to follow the link and listen to the talk in its entirety (23:51).
Information overload has become a common place and an excuse for our inability to deal with the reality described by this chart, Shirky says. New techniques from the printing press to the internet change the way information is delivered and who filters it. The publisher used to take all the economic risks and therefore had a strong incentive to filter content for quality, These incentives are now weaker than ever because the cost of publishing dropped. Nowadays, it's up to the individual to filter content coming in and going out. He illustrates his point with three great examples:
- Spam which is an example of inbound information flow,
- Privacy (Changing "relationship status" on Facebook) which is about managing outbound information flow and,
- Using online social collaboration tools in College and being accused of cheating (Chris Avenir's story)
Relating to this last one, Clay Shirky also stresses how dangerous over-reliance on metaphors can be when one uses them to make decisions about the new networked environments.
I also include several links to articles that reference the talk and where you might find additional value (either in the posts or in the comments):

Darwin's own story, with an emphasis on him as a shy, retiring, family man, is elegantly told. What he thought as a result of his discoveries on his famous voyage underpins the whole book, which then launches off into looking at what we know that Darwin didn't, especially about genetics.

(The Hosting News) – NetClarity, Inc., the leading provider of Next Generation Network Access Control technology in the marketplace today, on the heels of winning the Golden Bridge Award of 2011 for the "Best Network Security Solution for SMBs", announced two new game changing NACwall appliances – the NANO 25 and the NANO 100.
As hackers have shifted their sights to Small and Medium Size Businesses (SMBs) (see http://www.privacyrights.org), where one internal breach could put you out of business and where top security experts and analysts believe that this is an explosive trend, NetClarity has developed the NACwall NANO to solve this unique network security problem. The NACwall NANO is securely manageable by the Enterprise appliances family over the public internet, so these low heat, low power, wall mountable NACwall NANO appliances can be deployed just about anywhere – they are perfect for smaller, remote and branch offices and hundreds of them can be managed by a NetClarity Enterprise product with built-in Command Center.
"At our Kenner Shoes stores, we wanted to get ahead of the hackers who are now targeting businesses of our size, so we have locked down the network from the inside out, using the NACwall NANO," Said Joe Rodriquez, a small retail business owner in Boston, Massachusetts. "This NACwall NANO product is simply amazing – it does everything we need to secure our network and to help us document compliance with the Visa PCI-DSS security standard. The NANO is priced like a firewall and is very easy to deploy – we had it up and running in about 15 minutes. "
NACwall NANO Features and Benefits
The NACwall NANO protects wireless routers, gas station pumps, cash registers, barcode scanners and all retail devices that use TCP/IP at each brick and mortar store/retail outlet:
a) Dramatically Reducing your Internal Risk
b) Harden Your Network, Protect All Devices
c) Controlling Who Gets On Your Network
d) Stopping Malicious Insiders, Criminals and Malware
e) Documenting Compliance with VISA PCI-DSS
The NACwall NANO protects all sized organizations that have smaller, remote offices that need to be secured by fitting within budget and being easily deployed in a matter of minutes, managed by a central command center at headquarters. These organizations might include: Financial, Government, Health Care, Education, Manufacturing, Critical Infrastructure including Power, Transportation and other markets that need improved security and are compliance driven.
The NACwall NANO ships in two models, the NANO 25 to protect 25 remote office assets and the NANO 100 to protect up to 100 network assets. NANOs are sold in bundles as add-ons to NACwall Enterprise appliances only. NANO is a low heat, low power wall mountable EnergyStar® compliant appliance.
While firewalls protect networks from the outside-in, most risk has shifted to the inside-out. In fact, over 80% of successful attacks happen behind firewalls and over 95% of cyber criminals and new malware exploit Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (see: http://nvd.nist.gov). The NACwall NANO appliances start at only $1495 USD retail pricing, so any SMB can now harden their networks from the inside-out, stopping new malware attacks, blocking rogue devices and malicious access, automatically, across all their locations.
"We're very excited to launch these game changing next generation NAC appliances," stated Hal Charnley, President/CEO of NetClarity.

Beeswax is wax taken from the honeycomb of bees. Beeswax poisoning occurs when someone swallows beeswax.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
Poisonous Ingredient
Where Found
- Beeswax
- Some candles
Beeswax is considered nonpoisonous, but it may cause a blockage in the intestines if a large amount is swallowed.
Home Care
Do NOT make a person throw up unless told to do so by poison control or a health care professional.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- Patient's age, weight, and condition
- Name of the product (ingredients and strengths, if known)
- Time it was swallowed
- Amount swallowed
Poison Control
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
See: Poison control center - emergency number
What to Expect at the Emergency Room
The health care provider will measure and monitor your vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure.
Symptoms will be treated as appropriate.
A laxative may be given to move the wax quickly through the gastrointestinal tract and prevent bowel blockage.
You may not need to be seen in the emergency room.
Outlook (Prognosis)
How well you do depends on the amount of poison swallowed and how quickly treatment is received.
Since beeswax is considered relatively nontoxic, recovery is very likely.

There are a number of music legends who have been able to grace the airwaves, the record store shelves, and the collective ears of millions of people all around the world. Arguably two of the greatest of all time are Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder.
Born into poverty, Charles lost his vision when he was 7. He would go on to leave an incredible legacy and influence on the world of music. Legendary producer Quincy Jones has said, "There will never be another musician who did as much to break down the perceived walls of musical genres."
Born blind, Wonder began hitting the charts at a young age, piling up hit after hit, becoming one of the most noted and successful artists in history.
Now the two are the focus of Cabaret at The Merc's "The Music of Stevie Wonder & Ray Charles," which will be performed Sunday at the Old Town Temecula Community Theater.
"I've always wanted to do a show about Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder when I ran the Caffeinated Cabaret in Riverside," said co-producer Jordan Beck. "I love their music and always wanted to do it with them together because they are so iconic and their music fits together so well. We could do a whole night of either if we wanted to, but putting them together was just a nice balance."
The Music of Stevie Wonder & Ray Charles
When: 6:30 p.m. Sunday
Where: The Merc, 42051 Main St., Temecula
Tickets: $15-$20
Phone: (866) 653-8696
Online: temeculatheater.org
However, Beck could never get it produced in Riverside.
"It didn't work out there because I couldn't get the performers I wanted, so we did a different show," he said. "Now with Cabaret at The Merc, we decided to try it again and stick to it. Fortunately, this time around we got an amazing cast."
The cast is made up of two women and three men, all with long resumes. Among countless other performances, Meloney Collins performed in "Ray Charles Live" at the Pasadena Playhouse. Adryon De Leon performs regularly with Disney, Leonard Patton is working on his third CD, Nathan Riley's resume includes "Mixtape!" and Arthur L. Ross is a performer at Universal Studios Hollywood.
"The structure of the show is that it will go back and forth in a cabaret format, so singers will take the stage and take turns singing their songs," he said. "Each do about three songs, with one or two Stevie Wonder songs, then a couple of Ray's songs, or one song of each. It's not all Stevie and then all Ray."
The song lists are collections of the hits.
"We stick to songs that people are going to want to hear," he said. "We will do songs like 'Superstitious,' 'Ribbon in the Sky,' 'Georgia on my Mind,' 'Night Time is the Right Time,' all the good ones."
There will be some collaborative work.
"Stevie did a duet with Ella Fitzgerald, 'You are the Sunshine of My Life,' and we have one of the guys and one of the girls doing the duet," he said. "We also have the cast together doing 'Night Time is the Right Time,' ala 'The Cosby Show.'"
The song appeared in the award-winning show in its second season in 1985, with all the Huxtable clan lip-syncing the song. It is still considered one of the highlights of the entire run of the show.
In true cabaret form, the performers had a great deal of input.
"The way we do the cabaret, I don't necessarily choose the songs," he said. "I let the cast throw out the songs they want to do. They chose the songs, but I did say we have to have somebody do this song and one or two would volunteer. Once we have a list of songs, then I went in and put the order together and structured the show together. But it was the singers choose the songs, not me choosing the singers."
They are very concerned with being accurate to the sound — though not every little detail.
"We're trying to retain the essence of their sound," he said. "But Stevie and Ray weren't girls, so when the girls sing they are going to have their own sound. If it's not Stevie or Ray doing their songs then the singers will do their interpretations. That's all part of the magic of cabaret, seeing and hearing the performers and seeing a performance you will never see again."Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Hey fellas,
Sorry I haven't posted back in a while. I've since moved my AST 4100s over with the Vorshlag camber plates. I've got my new UUC shift kit in and I've got Dunlop SS 275/35/18s all around with D-Force 18X9.5 wheels. I've got a 15mm spacer in the rears. I'm officially a track junky just itching to get my next fix. I finally put on PFC 06 brake pads on the car (OH WOW what a difference). I did this finally after smoking a brand new set of brake pads out at MSR. Now no brake fade ahhhhh. I may upgrade rotors in the near future.
I started posting in the 2 minute 5-6 second times consistently at TWS (CCW) in the last two HPDE sessions (thanks to following one of my instructors in his E36 M3 hey Jeff). I'm working on smoooooth and safe, not focused on times but time does help me with reference.
I'm starting to think I should have gone with 18X10 wheels now just to fit 285/30/18s on the car. Tirerack specs show the AD08 in this size are only 27lbs vs the Dunlop SS 275/35/18s which are 31. I know I have room in the rear. I'm pretty sure I can squeeze them in the front as well.
Next mods are welded in roll bar, seats and harness, header back exhaust (still debating what to buy here), CAI and software.
Damn this is addictive.

Ancient Magnesium Minerals Gel - 8oz.
I see lots of "natural" products but this truly is. The gel is a natural ancient magnesium from sea beds in Europe and aloe vera. All I know is it it not greasy, smelly or slimmy. Silky smooth. No allergies. No odor. Natural and organic. And - my son uses too!

For the third straight year the 49ers and Cardinals will kick off the NFL season as the NFC West rivals face each other on September 7th. Much was made of these teams matching up when the 49ers took quarterback Alex Smith number one overall in 2005 and Arizona selected his counterpart, Matt Leinart out of USC with the 10th pick in 2006. At the time it was thought that the two signal-callers would meet twice a year and give their fans and the NFL a few "battles for the ages." This has yet to come to fruition however as both men will be carrying clipboards this Sunday when their squads meet at Candlestick Park. The last two seasons the 49ers have swept their neighbors to the southeast in what have been some well fought, grind it out games. In the two contests from 2007 the outcome was not decided until the final minutes with San Francisco winning both on an end-around touchdown from wide receiver Arnaz Battle and an end-zone fumble recovery by Tully Banta-Cain respectively.
Both teams will have somewhat of a different look this weekend when they square off as the 49ers have completely revamped their receiving corps, signing Isaac Bruce as well as the Cardinals third receiver the last few years in Bryant Johnson. Said Johnson of the match-up; "The thing you have to be careful about going into a situation like this is o.d.ing on your emotions. I'm here now. I'm not there anymore and I'm taking the approach (that) they're an opponent now."
On defense the Cardinals have moved last years interception leader, Antrel Rolle (5) to free safety this season and hope that he can pay dividends as he teams with strong safety Adrian Wilson who is making his return to the field after missing most of last season with a heel and calf injury. Arizona also lost linebacker Calvin Pace via free agency to the New York Jets however they signed pass rush specialist, DE Travis Laboy and linebacker Matt Stewart. Neither should equal what Pace brought to the team but they do add some depth on defense. The 49ers are returning 2007 Defensive Rookie of the Year (and some say should have been Rookie of the Year) linebacker Patrick Willis as well as outside linebacker Manny Lawson who saw last years campaign cut short due to an ACL injury after only two games. San Francisco also brought in free agent Takeo Spikes and claimed Ahmed Brooks off of waivers last week from the Cincinnati Bengals and suddenly what was a strong unit last season becomes what might be the teams best overall.
Key Match-ups
In last seasons opener the 49ers held Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin to seven receptions, 42 yards and one touchdown combined en route to a 20-17 victory at Candlestick. That should not happen again but you won't see head coach Mike Nolan complaining if it does. Losing Bryant Johnson to the 49ers via free agency was a significant blow to the Cardinals offense with Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner admitting as much this week. ""We lose a lot," admitted Warner. "Bryant was a great complement to our other two guys. He was very explosive and could give us the big play and stretch the field for us." That said Arizona still has their two starters and the 49ers defensive backs have to be weary of that. Much of the success or lack thereof the secondary can expect in this area will hinge on the ability of their front seven to break through what is now a good Arizona offensive line and get in Warner's face. The QB has proven that his game is negatively affected when his cage is rattled. Look for the Niners to attack him with multiple blitz schemes and stunts in an attempt to do so.
By his own standards Frank Gore did not have a good season in 2007. By the NFL's standards he still managed to break the 1,000 yard rushing mark in what was one of the worst offenses in the league history. Arizona's defense was very solid against the rush last season, surrendering less then 100 yards per game and finished as the ninth run defense in the league. Things appear to be going that direction again in 2008 as the team returns all starters from last year however injuries have beset this unit going into the opener. Gabe Watson is doubtful for the game and backup Alan Branch is ailing as well. Gore has always had good games on the ground when playing Arizona, evidenced by his 4.5 career YPC average against them. With the 49ers offensive line appearing to gel in the preseason after moving Joe Staley to left tackle and getting back right guard David Baas from a torn pectoral muscle, look for this battle to be won by San Francisco as Gore has another productive outing.
This could prove to be a significant deciding factor in who wins this game. San Francisco must protect their new starting quarterback and give him time to hit his receivers as it is what the Mike Martz offense is predicated on. Last season the 49ers in their abysmal offense surrendered 55 sacks, tied for most in the league while the Cardinals defense registered 36 against their opponents. Look for defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast to attack the line all day in an attempt to get into O'Sullivan's head who is making his first start at the NFL level. If the 49ers can manage to give him time however it could be a long day for the Arizona defense as Martz will continue to utilize a heavy mix of run and pass in trying to keep Adrian Wilson and company off balance.
San Francisco: For the first time in years the 49ers are beginning the regular season with a fully healthy squad. The only two players who were of any concern in this department were OLB Parys Haralson (shoulder) and NT Aubrayo Franklin (knee) took part in full practice on Thursday and TE Delanie Walker rested a sore calf but was expected to go through practice today. All three are expected to play this Sunday.
Arizona: The Cardinals injury report is not as yielding as the 49ers as Al Johnson or Alan Branch have practiced this week and Gabe Watson, Ben Patrick and Jermane Tuman have all been limited this week. Word is that Watson will not play and Branch who backs him up might be hobbled as well. Without Watson alone their front line takes a significant hit and even though Lyle Sendlein can fill in for Johnson at center he is not accustomed to starting.
As I stated in my initial season preview article I fully expect the 49ers to win on Sunday. 49ers: 20 Cardinals: 17

Millionaire businessman wins right to seek a referendum on the EU Treaty
Millionaire businessman Stuart Wheeler today won permission for a legal challenge to force the Government to hold a referendum on the EU Reform Treaty.
Mr Wheeler, a major Conservative Party donor, claimed recently at London's High Court that he had "a legitimate expectation" that Gordon Brown would hold a vote.
A senior judge has now ruled that he is allowed to seek a judicial review to get a referendum on the controversial agreement, known as the "Lisbon Treaty". The hearing is expected to start on June 9.
Critics of the Government say that the document contains many of the same measures as the earlier Constitutional Treaty - on which Labour promised a referendum.
(Article continues below)
Mr Wheeler said outside court: "The Government's lawyers tried to get the case thrown out, maintaining on various grounds that my case was unarguable. I am delighted that the judge has decisively rejected that.
"The moral case for a referendum was overwhelming. The legal case is strong, based upon a series of promises to the electorate.
"The legal premise of the case is that it is in the interests of good administration that the Government should implement their promises, unless there is a sound reason not to. No reason has been given."

Microsoft (MSFT) on Thursday afternoon issued Street-beating earnings for the fiscal second quarter, sending MSFT stock up solidly in after-hours trading.
For fiscal Q2, Microsoft earnings came to 78 cents per share on revenues of $24.52 billion. That beat Wall Street expectations for 68 cents per share on revenues of $23.68 billion, and MSFT stock was being bid up by roughly 3% as a result.
Behind the MSFT Q2 Report
It's not often you get to say this, but Microsoft products were quite popular during the Christmas shopping season. MSFT sold 7.4 million Xbox units — 3.9 million units of its Xbox One console, as well as another 3.5 million units of its older-gen console, the Xbox 360.
And even the Surface table showed promise, with sales more than doubling on a sequential basis to $893 million.
Yet the biggest driver remains MSFT's business software. For the most part, MSFT has made great strides in transitioning to cloud computing. The company has benefited from offerings like Office 365, Azure, and Dynamics CRM Online.
All told, the commercial segment saw revenues grow by 10% to $12.67B. And while MSFT does not break out its cloud numbers, the business more than doubled during the quarter.
However, MSFT stock investors can't take away all roses from the Q2 Microsoft earnings report.
Microsoft continues to feel the pressure from erosion in the global PC market as illustrated by meager sales of the Windows OEM segment, which were off by 3%.
That means for MSFT, the emphasis going forward must continue to be figuring out and breaking new ground in mobile.
And as I discussed in a recent post, mobile should be one of the most important factors MSFT weighs in its ongoing CEO search.

Robert California (or Bob Kazamakis) is an applicant seen in the episode Search Committee. He then joined the regular cast in Season 8. He is a very intense, odd man who is known for his intimidation and unorthodox management style.
Robert was at some point married to an unknown woman and later divorced, then remarried again.
Robert later divorced the second woman and married Susan. When Susan talked about returning to work, Robert suggested his company however secretly told Andy not to hire her. Susan found this out and divorced him.
Robert, at some point had a son (Bert) with one of the women.
Robert is strangely fascinated with (and probably addicted to) sex. He talks about sex as if nothing else in life matters, even going so far as to declare sex a "universal truth". "Everything is sex" is a quote from Robert.
Season 7Edit
Robert applied for the job where he intimidated the interviewers. He later manipulates another applicant into doing poorly in his interview by appearing indifferent to the paper market. Robert appears to have great confidence in him getting the job (Search Committee).
Season 8Edit
Immediately after being offered the position of Scranton branch manager, Robert is seen tearing out of the parking lot. He visits Jo Bennett in Tallahassee and somehow convinces her to name him CEO of Dunder Mifflin, her own job (Jo remains as the majority shareholder of Sabre). He returns to Scranton and names Andy the new regional manager, then takes up residence in the conference room.
Robert attends the Halloween party and brings his son Bert along. Robert drifts among the staff collecting information on each staff member's worst fears. He listens to a story that Meredith tells him of how she slept with a ghost however Robert believes that she merely did it with a drifter. Robert later uses his information on the staff's worst fears by compiling a ghost story out of all of them. He later realizes that Erin is in love with Andy and informs him of this (Spooked.)
While walking about the warehouse, Robert discovers Andy, Darryl and Kevin's band. Robert asks to join much to their delight. Robert joins and plays the harmonica but Robert's friends join and replace each band member. The original three decide to leave and keep the band just the three of them (Pam's Replacement.)
Robert visits the staff who had remained in the office, having turned down Andy's Gettysburg field trip invitation. Robert tries to get them to come up with creative business ideas and is disappointed with all of them except for Kevin's idea to rearrange the cookies in the vending machine - much to the annoyance of the staff (Gettysburg.)
Robert offers his current wife, Susan, a job at the Scranton Branch however he urges Andy to turn her down. However Andy becomes confused with Robert seemingly contradicting his earlier pleas during the interview so Andy hires her. Robert then seems to get annoyed at Andy causing even more confusion. Susan realizes that Andy is struggling to figure out what Robert wants and tries to confront Robert who still proves difficult to read. Robert then decides to get Jim as a witness and he, Andy and Susan chase Jim around the business park before cornering him in a closet. Jim comes up with a quick statement and leaves. (Mrs. California.)
Robert shows up to the Christmas party rather depressed as Susan has divorced him, likely due to her annoyance over Robert urging Andy not to hire her. Robert bartends the party and gives Erin a rather large serving of alcohol and seems to be kindling her growing drunkenness. Andy is worried when he offers her a ride home at the end of the night believing that Robert will take advantage of her. Andy follows them in Meredith's van and realizes that this is not the case, much to his relief. (Christmas Wishes.)Dwight heads to Tallahassee, Sabre's headquarters, for an interview with Robert for a corporate position. Robert has no intention of giving Dwight the job and tells Gabe to interview Dwight. Dwight realizes this (Gabe having revealed his role as the office "toilet") and forces Gabe to take him to Robert's apartment. They go to Robert's place where he is in the middle of his wrestling exercise. Robert tells Dwight that he didn't want to give him the job as he didn't feel Dwight fitted the job. He promises that there will be a job for Dwight some time in the future.Trivia.
Robert is forced to sell his mansion due to his divorce. Kevin offers that they have one final party in the indoor swimming pool area. The staff all visit his mansion and Robert gives Oscar, Jim, Toby, and Gabe a tour showing them his movie room, kitchen and a room with a large bear rug. Robert then allows each of them to take a wine of their choice. Robert, upon realizing how well his party has gone, strips his clothes and jumps in the pool Pool Party.
Dwight, Nellie, Jim and Robert go golfing where Robert reveals his dislike for the Sabre store project. He reveals to Jim he plans to veto it and fire the VP. Jim manages to prevent Dwight from attending the meeting and Robert fires Todd Packer instead (Last Day in Florida.)
Robert, looking for a new job for Nellie so she can stay with the company, decides to transfer her to the Scranton Branch where she quickly assumes the only desk untaken-Andy's chair. Robert, terrified of the implications of Nellie as manager, desperately phones Andy who is in Florida to get Erin back. Andy tells Robert that he is sick and can't come into work. Robert, reluctant to tell Nellie no, decides to improvise. Jim tries to persuade Robert to not allow her to take Andy's job but Robert ignores him. Robert however, quickly realizing that Nellie has won over the staff, decides to make her promotion permanent (Get the Girl.)
Robert comes in harboring a bad mood. He chews out Pam for not working before lecturing the staff about wasting time however the staff realizes he makes a special exception for Nellie who is always late. He learns that she is stressed about moving in and decides to task Jim and Dwight with helping her move in. He then forces the Party Planning Committee to throw her a welcome party. Robert later attends and appears confused as to why Jim and Pam are mistreating the magician who shows up. He apologizes to Nellie for the poor party but she is fine with it (Welcome Party.)
Robert is called in after Andy returns and realizes that Nellie is not relinquishing the managers chair. Robert tells Nellie to give it up but she refuses and sexually stimulates Robert causing him to be to unable to decide. He then decides to not intervene and tells the cameras that he never lets a sexual desire influence his business decisions so chooses to not be involved. Robert later attends the impotence meeting where he attempts to engage various members in sexual conversations. He also asks Nellie in great interest how old of guys she has been with sexually. Robert spends the majority of the episode after that in the conference room and comes out to see what the comotion is when Andy throws a fit of rage. Robert tells Andy to calm down and Andy responds with "Have a seat yourself idiot!" as he throws a chair at him. Robert later decides to keep Andy as a salesman and keep Nellie as manager. Andy refuses this and Robert fires Andy (Angry Andy.)
Robert buys two tables for the entire office and their guests at the dog fundraiser and is seen in attendance. Andy shows up as Erin's date and Andy attempts to engage in discussion with Robert and Robert realizes that Andy is practically insane after his firing. He offers to pay for him and Erin to go out to a romantic dinner which Andy declines. Robert then tells Andy to leave. Andy buys another table and makes critical remarks as Robert gives a speech on how much he likes dogs which is why he contributed money to the cause (Fund Raiser).After Robert gets extremely drunk one night (and alludes to snorting cocaine "a case of Colombian whites") due to the stress of his divorce, he shuts down a branch without a contingency plan for the branch's clients and leaves a phone message on Nellie's phone revealing his true intentions for her. He comes into work hung over and promptly pukes next to Jim and Dwight's desk. He later learns that he had left a message on Nellie's phone and also that he had shut down the Binghamton branch. Robert then tasks Pam with finding out what he had left on Nellie's phone and tries to hide the reason why he closed the branch from a disgruntled salesman from the Syracuse branch. He later demands that Robert judge whether an important client goes to Jim and Dwight or to him. Robert tries to stall him but the salesman battle for the client anyway. Robert later tasks Angela with finding what the message was on Nellie's phone should Pam fail. Robert is later happy to learn that Pam stole Nellie's phone and the two go through her messages. They learn several embarrassing secrets about Nellie but nothing about the message. Pam feels guility and deletes all the other messages before Robert could hear them. Robert later gets a phone call from Andy who had managed to land the important client and offers Robert the opportunity to hire him back in exchange for the client. Robert however refuses to budge and threatens Andy right back (Turf War.) Robert California spots Oscar making a video that encourages gays to be proud of who they are and intervenes, believing he is a better spokesperson for this then Oscar. Oscar later pushes him and Kevin out of the way and Robert leaves to go put ice on his injury. Robert later tries to comfort Andy who everyone thinks has gone insane and is disillusioning David Wallace. Robert takes a sip of Hide's energy drink for Asian homosexuals and remarks that the adding of coconut was a bad idea. David Wallace later shows up and meets Robert California who introduces himself by a different, presumably fake name, Bob Kazamakis much to the surprise of the office. Robert then convinces David to give him a $1 million donation to spend 3 years traveling Europe, Africa and Asia tutoring high school girls, especially gymnasts, which he announces to the disgust of the office who realize what this is a euphamism for. Robert then says his goodbye to the office and hugs and kisses Andy on the mouth much to Andy's discomfort (Family Portrait.)
With David Wallace as the new CEO, Robert/Bob leaves with his money and presumably heads off to fulfill his "charity work".
Trivia Edit
- Robert hates ties, noted through his comment of how he feels "strangled" to Angela in "Fundraiser" and how he is never seen wearing a tie save for that one episode. He also told Andy once that he liked his tie.
