Christianity Today to Slash 4 Publications, 30 Staff
Christianity Today International is closing four of its publications and laying off 30 employees, according to an announcement Friday.
Over the coming months, the evangelical publishing giant plans to shut down Today's Christian Woman magazine, the Campus Life College Guide, the Christian history bulletin insert Glimpses, and the bimonthly newsletter Church Office Today.
"We find ourselves – as does our industry – in the midst of a perfect publishing storm," commented CTI President and Publisher Harold B. Smith in Friday's announcement.
Though the organization is "profoundly saddened" by the "necessary decisions" and its impact on its employees and the Church as a whole, Smith said they are grateful to God for the continuing strength of their core periodicals – Christianity Today magazine and the Leadership journal.
"These iconic brands, along with the myriad web properties tied to them, will once again point the way for this ministry in the days, months, and years to come," the CTI head stated.
Founded in 1956 by world renowned evangelist Billy Graham, the ministry of Christianity Today has over the past several decades risen to become arguably the most trusted and influential source for information among Christian leaders and laity – adults, youth, and families.
The organization today publishes nine print magazines and newsletters and operates an award-winning website reaching more than 2.5-million unique visitors monthly.
At the annual convention of the Evangelical Press Association, the organization won a number of awards, including an Award of Excellence for the Leadership journal, an Award of Excellence for Ignite Your Faith magazine, four Awards of Merit, and fourteen "Higher Goals" awards – two of which were first place awards.
CTI's stated mission is to create "Christian content that changes the people who change the world."

In Wyoming, non-resident hunters fund the vast majority of the Wyoming Game & Fish budget, play a critical role in meeting harvest quotas, and bring millions of dollars in tourism revenue to the state each year. Without our out-of-state hunting visitors, hunting in Wyoming wouldn't be what is is today.
Amid game management and legislative issues here in Wyoming, sportsmen didn't have a clear voice representing them. That's exactly why the Wyoming Hunter Defense Fund (WHDF) was started. This organization was founded to protect the ability of sportsmen to access their hunting opportunities in Wyoming. WHDF will work to educate Wyoming's residents and business community of the financial contributions made by sportsmen to the state's economy, while working to conserve and protect wildlife habitats.
We encourage you to make a donation to WHDF. The funds raised will help influence legislative issues, conduct research, communicate, and work to make sure that a wealth of hunting opportunities continue to be available in Wyoming.
The purpose of the Wyoming Hunter Defense Fund (WHDF) will be to maintain the ability of sportsmen to access their hunting opportunities in Wyoming. The WHDF will work to conserve and protect wildlife habitats. The WHDF will work to educate the business community and residents of Wyoming as to the financial contributions made by sportsmen to Wyoming's economy.
How else can you help?
It starts with educating others: friends, family, and businesses that will be affected and who should know:
- taxidermists
- meat processors
- landowners
- insurance agents
- real estate agents
- car dealers
- feed dealers
- gas stations
- and anybody else you do business with
A 50% reduction in non-resident licenses will cost the Wyoming Game and Fish 7 million a year in license sales. A 50% reduction in non-resident licenses will cost Wyoming 100 million a year in lost tourism revenue.
Join us in helping the Wyoming Hunter Defense Fund protect our hunting opportunities and economic value to the State of Wyoming. And for news of our battles and successes with Wyoming's 2015 Legislative session, check out our 2015 Happenings page.

Hunting for Dark Matter with Boosted Higgs Bosons in ATLAS
Although dark matter (DM) contributes a large component of the mass-energy of the universe, its properties and interactions with known particles remain unknown. In light of this unsolved puzzle, searches for DM pair-produced at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) provide important information complementary to direct and indirect searches in order to determine whether a signal observed experimentally indeed stems from DM. In this presentation, I will report the latest search results of DM pair production in association with a Higgs boson using the LHC Run2 data (sqrt(s)=13 TeV) collected by the ATLAS detector. I'll demonstrate the improvement of the analysis using the state-of-the-art boosted Higgs boson techniques. Because the observed data are found to be consistent with the expected Standard Model backgrounds, I'll show results interpreted using Z'-2HDM simplified models with the most stringent limits. Finally, I will discuss the prospects of this search in the coming LHC Run2 and new ideas of the boosted Higgs tagging.

Search for right-handed W and heavy neutrinos in the 2l+2j final state at CMS
Despite the discovery of the standard model (SM) Higgs boson, there are still unanswered questions that are not explained by the SM, such as the nature of the chiral structure of weak interactions. During Run-1 at the LHC, no clear signs for physics beyond the SM were seen, but there were a few hints of possible new physics. One particular hint was a 2.8\sigma excess seen at the CMS experiment in the search for a heavy right-handed W and heavy neutrino. These particles arise when a left-right symmetry is added to the electroweak sector. In this seminar, I will discuss the Run-1 excess and show preliminary results from the current search with CMS at 13 TeV for a right-handed W in the two leptons plus two jets final state. Additionally, I will discuss the high-luminosity upgrade of the CMS tracker focusing on a proposed track-trigger system to be realized using FPGA technology.

Quest for gauginos in LHC-Run2 / ATLAS
Despite no significant beyond-the-standard model signatures has been observed in LHC Run1, the discovery of standard model higgs brought a substantial impact on supersymmetry search. As typical minimal models naively need O(10TeV) light flavor sfermions to reconcile with the 125 GeV higgs, there is a grown motivation in searching gauginos which are almost free from the higgs mass constraint. Gluino is in particular an interesting target in early Run2 as the production cross-section greatly enhanced by the doubled center-of-mass energy, and the status is quickly evolving along luminosity. Searching EWKinos, especially for realistic scenarios where the mass spectra is compressed, has more challenges due to their low production cross-section, poor S/N and trigger issue etc., however these are starting to be overcome by recent effort and emerging large data statistics of Run2 and later. This talk will cover the status-quo and prospect of both searches in the ATLAS experiment, with particular focus on (1) up-to-date analysis of gluino search in 1-lepton final state, and (2) R&D studies on multi-variate techniques for the compressed spectra analysis of EWKino search.

A new era of precision physics with di-bosons at the LHC
The Run-2 of the LHC has opened up a new window on precision physics measurements. Thanks to higher cross sections of physics processes at 13 TeV compared to 7 and 8 TeV centre-of-mass energies, the increasing amount of data being collected and sophisticated experimental techniques, we can reach high precisions on measurements of properties of rare processes such as the production cross sections of two massive electroweak gauge bosons, for example two W bosons. LHC results on di-boson production cross sections at different centre-of-mass energies constitute stringent tests of both the strong and the electroweak sectors of the Standard Model and provide a model-independent mean to search for new physics at high energy scales. The high experimental precision recently achieved in several Run-1 measurements at the LHC together with hints of discrepancies observed between some di-boson measurements and Standard Model predictions have prompted significant progress in calculations at high orders in perturbation theory. This global effort has led in the past months to the so-called "next-to-next-to-leading order revolution", i.e. and explosion of new calculations that can reach percent level precision in the calculation of several processes including di-boson production cross sections. We are indeed on the threshold of a new era of precision physics for di-boson production at the multi-TeV energy scales. This seminar will focus on recent measurements of inclusive and differential cross sections for WW production at centre of mass energies of 13 TeV and 8 TeV by the ATLAS Collaboration at the LHC.

Searches for New Physics Through Third Generation Particles at the ATLAS Detector
The Standard Model (SM) has been central to particle physics for decades, and its success in predicting observational results has culminated in the 2012 discovery of a Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider. However, the theory is considered 'not natural', requiring finely-tuned parameters to allow for the precise cancellation of large radiative corrections to the Higgs boson mass. In pursuit of a more natural theory, extensions to the SM have been proposed that would stabilize the Higgs boson mass and resolve the hierarchy problem (supersymmetry, extended Higgs sectors, models with vector-like quarks). This presentation will focus on several ATLAS searches for new physics involving third generation particles, both targeting extended Higgs sectors and vector-like quarks.

Improving T2K Oscillation Results with a Maximum Likelihood Event Reconstruction
The Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) experiment is an accelerator-based long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment that uses a unique off-axis neutrino beam to precisely measure the parameters that govern neutrino flavor oscillations. This talk will outline the experiment and the current results, which offer tantalizing hints regarding the existence of CP violation in the neutrino sector. It will also cover future improvements to the T2K analysis, most notably the development of a new maximum-likelihood event reconstruction algorithm for Super Kamiokande, which could be used to squeeze even more information about the oscillation parameters from the existing data.

Precision Timing Detectors for Particle Physics
High energy particle collider experiments are facing ever more challenging conditions, operating at todays accelerators which are providing instantaneous luminosity of 10
and above. The high center of mass energy, the large number of simultaneous collisions of beam particles and the very high repetition rates of the collision events pose huge challenges. This results in extremely high particle fluxes, causing very high occupancy in the detectors operating at these machines. Detectors which can provide timing measurements with a precision of a few 10 ps and below can be a major aid in the reconstruction of the physics events under such challenging conditions. In this talk I will present a broad range of R&D activities on precision timing detectors with a focus on calorimeter based measurements. I will discuss possible implementations of precision timing detectors for the upgrades of the LHC detectors to cope with the conditions expected at the high luminosity upgrade of the accelerator as well as for future colliders.

Results from the DUNE 35-ton Prototype Detector
The 35 ton prototype for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) far detector was a single phase liquid argon time projection chamber (LAr-TPC) integrated detector that took cosmics data for a six week run from February to the middle of March 2016. The 35 ton was built to test the liquid argon technologies to be used by the full size DUNE far detector in a fully integrated system. The 35 ton had two drift volumes of lengths 2.23 m and 0.23 m on either side of its anode plane assembly (APA) and made use of wire planes with wrapped wires and a photon detection system (PDS) utilizing photon detection panels read out by silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs). We present an analysis of 35 ton detector cosmics data with a focus on the performance of the PDS.

Galactic Very High Energy Astrophysics
Despite being discovered over a hundred years ago, the origin of cosmic rays has remained a mystery. Recent clues suggest that a large number are accelerated in supernova remnants in our Galaxy. The Cygnus region is a very active region of our Galaxy, with many sources of GeV and TeV gamma-ray emission, such as supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae, and massive star clusters. A detailed study of the Cygnus region can give insight into the processes of particle acceleration in astrophysical sources, and the nature of cosmic rays. VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) is an array of four 12 meter diameter imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes located at Mt Hopkins, AZ, USA. From 2007 through 2012 it gathered nearly 300 hours of data in the Cygnus region from 67 to 82 degrees Galactic longitude and from -1 to 4 degrees in Galactic latitude. We are reanalyzing the VERITAS data with updated analysis techniques, and will be cross correlating that data with the results of an analysis of over five years of Fermi-LAT data in the region. Using a cross correlation of these results we can motivate continued observations in this active region of the Galaxy.

Muon antineutrino oscillations at T2K
The T2K ("Tokai to Kamioka") experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment in Japan. A beam of muon neutrinos or muon antineutrinos is produced at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) in Tokai. The unoscillated neutrino flux is measured by the near detector complex 280 m from the proton target, and the oscillated neutrino flux is measured by the far detector, Super-Kamiokande, 295 km away. Using a beam of muon neutrinos, T2K has performed precise measurements of muon neutrino disappearance, and discovered muon neutrino to electron neutrino oscillation by measuring electron neutrino appearance. Since the summer of 2014, T2K has been taking data using a beam of muon antineutrinos, and has released the results of both a muon antineutrino disappearance analysis and an electron antineutrino appearance analysis, both using antineutrino beam data up to the summer of 2015. This talk will discuss these analyses, going into detail about the role played by the near detector, and looking at future directions.

Searches for Neutrino-less Double Beta-Decay: a Decade of Discovery Ahead at the ton-scale?
Observation of neutrino-less double beta-decay would demonstrate that the neutrino and anti-neutrino are identical. This decay mode would be prohibited if the neutrino has zero mass but the discovery of neutrino oscillations, demonstrating a non-zero mass, has strongly motivated new experimental searches. While knowledge of mass and phases is incomplete, oscillation results have provided a target range of desired search sensitivity, about a factor of about 100 greater than the current experimental limits. I will present a personal perspective on current experimental aspirations in the international context. A 'discovery class' experiment requires a ton-scale active mass and background levels reduced by more than two orders of magnitude. Is this technically possible? For the US, an opportunity appears to exist in the use of gas-phase xenon with development of new methods for background reduction, as pursued within the NEXT collaboration. The elusive neutrino may yet provide more surprises, even insight as to why there is something, rather than nothing.

Search for new phenomena in the dijet channel with the ATLAS detector at 13 TeV
With the beginning of Run II at the LHC, proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy of 13 TeV have introduced new potential for observing physics beyond the Standard Model. The increase in center of mass energy greatly enhances the reach of searches for any new exotic particles, particularly with decay modes involving a dijet system. With 3.6 fb^{-1} collected so far in Run II, the sensitivity to new resonant particles has already surpassed the limits set with the full Run I dataset. The ability to observe non-resonant deviations from the SM such as structure within quarks themselves has also been greatly enhanced from the new operating conditions of the LHC. I will present the first results of searches for both resonant and non-resonant new physics in dijet events.

I will also then briefly discuss other ways of searching for new physics in the Higgs sector for the future.

Searches for Vector-like quarks at CMS experiment, at the LHC.
I will present results of searches for massive top and bottom quark partners using proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. These fourth-generation vector-like quarks are postulated to solve the Hierarchy problem and stabilize the Higgs mass, while escaping constraints on the Higgs cross section measurement. The vector-like quark decays result in a variety of final states, containing top and bottom quarks, gauge and Higgs bosons. I will present searches using several categories of reconstructed objects, from multi-leptonic to fully hadronic final states. At 8 TeV, we set exclusion limits on both the vector-like quark mass and pair-production cross sections, for combinations of the vector-like quark branching ratios. I will also present these searches using 13 TeV collision data.

PICO: Searching for Dark Matter with Bubble Chambers
The PICO collaboration uses bubble chambers to search for WIMP dark matter particles. The bubble chambers are operated in a moderately superheated state providing superb rejection of the dominant gamma background at better than the 10^-10 level, and are filled with fluorinated target fluids ideally suited for investigating spin-dependent WIMP-proton interactions. PICO is currently running two experiments at the deep underground SNOLAB site: PICO-60 (previously called COUPP-60) and PICO-2L. I will present results from recent dark matter searches in both of those experiments. I will also discuss studies of unexpected backgrounds that have impacted those dark matter searches and future plans for the two experiments.

A new measurement of ttW and ttZ at CMS
For the first time at the LHC, we are able to measure the associated production of W or Z bosons with top quark pairs. These processes allow us to directly measure the top-Z coupling, and place limits on effective couplings between the top quark and the Higgs, W, and Z bosons. In addition, ttW and ttZ are important backgrounds in searches for ttH and new physics processes in the top sector, especially SUSY models. I will present recent results from ATLAS and CMS, and describe a new technique to reconstruct the ttW and ttZ systems, allowing for more precise measurements with existing data.

Search for stealth supersymmetry at the LHC
Supersymmetry (SUSY) can simultaneously solve the hierarchy problem, allow unification of the fundamental interactions, and provide a candidate for dark matter. Most searches for SUSY focus on the presence of large missing transverse energy (MET) carried away by the lightest SUSY particle. Recent high-MET searches at the CERN LHC have not yet found evidence for SUSY. Therefore, it is important to study well-motivated alternatives with low-MET, such as models characterized by R-parity violation, compressed spectra, and hidden valleys. In particular, the "stealth SUSY" model yields a low-MET signature while conserving R-parity by means of a new hidden sector in which SUSY is approximately conserved. I will present recent LHC searches for stealth SUSY, and discuss interesting areas for study at 13 TeV.

Recent results from LHC dilepton+jets+missing transverse momentum Searches
The discovery of a Higgs boson at the LHC has answered critical open questions in the standard model. Despite strong evidence that the standard model is incomplete, no compelling evidence for beyond-the-standard model physics has been observed. However, two recent searches from CMS and ATLAS in the dilepton + jets + ETmiss final state have uncovered moderate excesses with respect to standard model predictions, at the level of ~2.5-3.0sigma. This talk will discuss the strategy, background estimation, and results of these searches, as well as possible signal interpretations in supersymmetric models.

Observing Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays with Smartphones
In this talk I discuss the possibility of using a network smartphones and similar devices to search for ultra-high energy ($>10^{18}$ eV) cosmic rays via a community-sourced scientific platform. Muons and energetic photons produced in UHECR events leave a signature of bright pixels in images from on-board CMOS cameras, while GPS location data allows for the reconstruction of extensive air showers observed by multiple devices. The ubiquity of these consumer devices around the globe enables instrumenting a far greater area than conventional observatories, enhancing sensitivity to the very rarest events. Given certain levels of participation, it is even possible to match the observational power of state-of-the-art facilities such as the Pierre Auger observatory, at the highest energies.

Atom interferometry measurements in fundamental physics
Chameleons are flexible models for dark energy that avoid conflict with laboratory experiments by becoming short-ranged in the presence of dense objects. Probing the chameleon field with atoms rather than bulk matter strongly reduces this "screening." We developed an atom interferometer inside an optical cavity [1] to reach high reproducibility in tight spaces. Our experiment is the first to rule out a range of chameleon and other dark energy candidates that would reproduce the observed cosmic acceleration [2].
We will also comment on our measurement of the fine structure constant, for which we have boosted atom interferometry into the 10^-10 range by suppressing the effects of so-called diffraction phases [3]. After six data taking campaigns we are close to reporting a new measurement with an anticipated accuracy of about 0.25 parts per billion. This would be similar to the one of the electron's gyromagnetic anomaly g-2, allowing for new precise tests of quantum electrodynamics.

Detecting Cosmic Neutrinos with IceCube at the Earth's South Pole
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory has recently discovered a diffuse flux of astrophysical neutrinos, neutrinos from beyond the solar system. But how does one collect neutrinos at the South Pole? Why study neutrinos for astronomy? In this talk, I will try to answer such questions and show nice pictures from Antarctica. I will also discuss the multiple diffuse flux analyses in IceCube that observe the astrophysical flux, and what each can tell us. Spatial analyses that aim to identify the sources of such astrophysical neutrinos will also be discussed, followed by an attempt to reconcile all results, to draw a coherent picture that is the state of neutrino astronomy.

Production of high transverse momentum vector bosons reconstructed as single jets and its application to search for NP at the LHC
Highly boosted hadronically decaying particles have been widely used as a unique signature to search for NP at the LHC. In this talk, we present a measurement of the cross-section for high transverse momentum W and Z bosons produced in *pp* collisions and decaying to all-hadronic final states by ATLAS experiment. The measurement is performed by reconstructing boosted W or Z bosons in single jets. The reconstructed jet mass is used to identify the W and Z bosons, and a jet substructure method based on energy cluster information in the jet center-of-mass frame is used to suppress the large multi-jet background. In this talk, we will also discuss potential applications of the jet substructure in the jet rest frame in searches for NP at the LHC.

Higgs boson measurements in the H->WW*->lvlv channel with ATLAS
After the discovery at the LHC, precision measurements of the Higgs boson are essential to determine its nature. The H->WW*->lvlv decay channel offers a sensitive experimental signature. The Higgs resonance mass cannot be reconstructed because of the two neutrinos in the final state. Nonetheless, once the backgrounds are under control, the large H->WW* branching fraction and good signal-to-background ratio provide powerful measurements of the Higgs production and couplings. I will present the analysis and discuss the results from ATLAS on the H->WW*->lvlv channel, based on the full dataset collected during Run-I of the LHC, where an excess of events is observed, providing evidence for the Higgs boson at mH=125GeV.

Relationship counselling for children, young people and familiesKathryn Geldard, David GeldardSage Publications 2009ISBN 978-1847875518 £21.99
The latest book from the Geldards is an extremely well-structured and accessible introduction (and more) to relationship counselling. The Geldards have published a number of books on counselling work with children and adolescents since 1997, primarily from an integrative model. Both work in Australia as therapists and trainers in mental health settings and have a wealth of appropriate experience. They highlight how both individual and family approaches can integrate to offer best support for troubled children.
This book could be considered an introduction because it doesn't assume any in-depth experience of working in relationship counselling, but I feel it is aimed at people with experience in individual counselling, because the skills needed for relationship counselling, while different, are underpinned by a knowledge of developmental counselling and experience of age-appropriate practical interventions and techniques.
Throughout the text, there is a nice counterpoint between an individual approach and the very different way of thinking for relationship work. The Geldards offer a clear rationale for their chosen model, CACHO - Communication, Awareness, Change, Outcome - which describes the process for achieving therapeutic change using an integrative model over a short period. In early chapters, clear arguments are put forward around theory of change and the importance of having a structured model that works proactively with our tendency to resist change. The relationships addressed include family and family sub-sets as well as couples.
This book builds up a clear argument for a grounded systemic approach (considered by many to be the most useful intervention in family work) because it strives to empower families to find their own preferred solutions for change and believes parents do the best they can in their specific circumstances. By enabling family members to see life through the lenses of others in the family, awareness of the experiences, beliefs and struggles of others is heightened. This helps to prepare individuals to be able to shift perspectives, beliefs and therefore the family dynamic.
The use of key theories like circular questioning, a reflecting team and feedback are well explained and subsequently illustrated through case material to enhance learning. The historical references to the development of systemic work are clear in the text. I felt the explanations offered were very accessible and made things like cybernetic theory easy to grasp! Good use is made of illustrations and tables to extend the understanding of the authors' ideas. These break up the text and mirror the importance of working in a creative way with families where appropriate.
Five sections, each building upon the last, address different facets, and begin with an overview of relationship counselling. The other four sections are Relationship Counselling - for the Family, for the Child, for Young People and for Parents. All sections relate back to relationship counselling and much thought is given to how individual work can be integrated into the overall CACHO approach. The different sections draw out appropriate ways of working with children, young people and those with authority in their world such as parents and teachers. Clear and specific reference is made to the use of play therapy and sand tray work, Gestalt, CBT, transactional analysis and how this can be coherently integrated into the CACHO model without losing sight of the theory of change.
The book's structure builds on deepening understanding chapter by chapter with frequent use of case study vignettes to illustrate the authors' ideas. Each chapter ends with a useful summary of key points and study suggestions to reinforce learning. I found it helpful that key ideas were repeated in subsequent chapters and well anchored in the context of skills of relationship counselling. At all times, the authors are child focused and sensitive to developmental needs.
Overall, I felt the book was excellent and highly commend it to professionals with a strong interest in relationship counselling or in relationship counselling training. I don't think a text can ever be a substitute for observing or being part of a systemic family team. In my experience of both, individual work in schools is very different from family work that incorporates circular questioning, a reflecting team, two rooms and a one-way observation window of the kind common to specialist CAMHS teams. But this excellent book makes sense of the hows, whys and importance of relationship therapy in the lives of our young people and their families.

Reviewing this book has been a welcome, developmental experience for me. The extensive span of up-to-date research from the UK, EU, USA and Japan, covering a range of topical issues, has been illuminating and, at times, inspirational.
Through a Rogerian lens, and using a wide range of methodologies, such diverse topics as sexual abuse, self-esteem issues, children involved in child welfare investigations, children who are violent, peer group counselling, counselling in secondary schools, school non-attendees, parent-teacher communications and the use of encounter groups to improve relationships and learning in academic environments, are researched and presented in ways that are informative and accessible, and which provide many avenues for further research in their fulsome bibliographies.
Elsa Döring's What happens in child-centred therapy?' would be an excellent introduction for anyone new to the subject of play therapy. She explains the importance of play in the evolution of human beings and in the symbolic communications of the early years. From the creative right-brain development she takes the reader to Piaget and the development of thinking. She explains the development of self and gives a useful overview of attachment theory. Case material forms a valuable part of this chapter and is presented regularly throughout other chapters of the book.
There are overlaps and connections between the chapters, and on more than one occasion I found that insights I had gained in one part of the book were amplified and enhanced in other chapters. Currently engaged in a Behaviour Improvement Programme (BIP) in primary education in County Durham, I gravitated to the chapter on person-centred interventions with violent children and adolescents. I was engaged to the point where I felt inspired to set up therapy groups for such children in primary schools. Two chapters later, Mick Cooper's literature search into the effectiveness of humanistic counselling in UK secondary schools found that the greatest improvements were on the emotional and interpersonal level and that the lowest rates of change were at the behavioural level; there is clearly much important work to be done in this area!
There were times in my study of this text when I wondered just how person-centred some of the contributors actually are. In my opinion, Fröhlich-Gildhoff's chapter on effective factors in child and adolescent therapy attempted unsuccessfully to impose a model designed for adult therapy onto children. Children have a different way of processing the events in their lives, and their feelings regarding such events. The problem-coping strategies working towards solutions, I believe, would serve to deny or minimise the child's inner wisdom and negate their self-healing capacity.
I learned much of value in Frances Bernard Kominkiewicz's paper on Freeing children to tell their stories'. This gave me useful insight into the ways in which the investigative process for children who have been maltreated can be therapeutic through the use of person-centred and experiential concepts. Having said which, I bristle when confronted with phrases such as the utilisation of person-centred techniques'. As someone who has striven over 20 years (and still strives) to become the core-conditions, I believe wholeheartedly that Rogers' conditions for therapeutic change, are a way of being and not something that can be incorporated as a technique.
Word limits prevent a deeper, more detailed review of this book. I am confident that Facilitating young people's development would be an invaluable resource for any play therapy student or indeed, any practitioner working in the field of child and adolescent psychotherapy.

I've had a couple of therapists, partly because I move a lot and partly because some of them just haven't worked for me. I always felt like my first therapist wanted to talk about himself... I know he was trying to be empathetic, but it just felt pushy. And I could never tell him when I was pissed at him.
My new therapist is great and I'm actually really freaked out about moving again and losing her; it can be hard to get the right fit. But what makes her so great is:
1) We set goals, short term and long term
2) She gives me homework or asks me to follow up on actions we've discussed
3) We make a point of coming up with "until next time" actions
4) I tell her when I don't like something she says or an idea she has
Remember, as callous as this may sound, your therapist is not your friend or your family. They care about you, but the way they show it is not the way your friends might show it and you don't have to treat them like your friends. I mean, they are human beings deserving of respect, but you don't have to coddle them, you can be honest with your frustrations at how therapy is going.

It make perfect since to feel worse after a therapy session. You just opened yourself up to therapist. A lot of the things that come out in sessions is the past and how were doing. It involves a lot of emotions which exhaust us on so many different levels.
If your feeling bad after every session and don't feel like it is making a difference to you then you might not have the right therapist. It takes a while to get one that connects with you. It is important to have that connection or the sessions are pointless.
Hopefully the sessions will get better for you.

I do the same thing: Bottling it up or waiting for it to go away. Now that I have my moods under control (I'm bipolar) it seems like everything else is coming out. The PTSD, my anxiety. It's frustrating. I've been in therapy since I was like 7 after my parents divorced. Switched around a lot of therapists. I usually feel more relieved than anything because for 1. I HATE crying. I absolutely despise it. And I hate feeling weak. ESPECIALLY in front of other people. The only time I really feel comfortable crying is with my mom or with my therapist. So I can sometimes get a good cry out in a safe place.
View your therapist as a safe place. A safe place where you can be completely and entirely free. Talk about anything and everything. It doesn't just have to be depressing. Talk about your life, your job, your pets, kids, anything. Have you told your therapist that you feel more depressed than anything after therapy?
I'm usually pretty helpful in this department if you ever want to talk one on one. Just shoot me a mail and I'll put my contact info up on my spark page.

Ask yourself is this therapist a good fit. You should feel comfortable telling him/her everything. If you don't, it might be time to find a new therapist. I've been seeing the same woman off and on for twenty years. Why so long? My issues have been like an onion. I pull off a layer or more, then runaway. It's hard work to face trauma. Sometimes I leave feeling depressed, sometimes strong, but mostly drained. Follow your heart or inner voice. If something feels wrong it could be therapist or you aren't ready.
FYI-When I leave depressed it is normally because I am hiding from my pain.

my therapist always provided me with a really eye-opening experience this may have been because my therapy was situational at the time and i talked about any and everything and just the talking (having no one to talk to can really stunt your growth) was so beneficial to me she never had to ask me what's up because i was in there to use my hour and get things i needed to do done..no one can open you up as well as you can do yourself..maybe i found the right one (having several different therapists in several different places and all for situational stuff maybe that was good) but i have never had anyone who wouldn't listen for sure

I echo what other people have expressed to you...therapy is not suppose to be a feel good experience because you are addressing some difficult issues. That's why you entered therapy in the first place. You have good friends to discuss the good things in life and your therapist is not really your friend. They wiork for you. You have hired them to do a job. That's not to say you cannot have good times in therapy, it's just not the norm.
What i did was set some goals for my therapy and shared those with my therapist. I told her that i didn't feel like i was getting anywhere. She made me work harder and now many times i leave her office feeling worse than i did when i walked in, but at least i know that my therapy is working. If i left feeling good all the time i would feel like i had not worked.
Please know that you can come here anytime to talk. I believe that things will improve for you
I care about what happens to you as well. Looking forward to getting to know you.

You have yet to reach 'AFTER therapy'. There is, as others have noted, a process that comes in small increments during which we discover parts of the puzzle that are not pretty at all. Please talk candidly to your therapist about how you feel at this point. It sounds like you are in very early stages of this valuable process.
Do be aware that sometimes a specific therapist is not a match for the client. If after talking out your current feelings on the subject of therapy you still feel this is not the partner you want in the process then look for someone new. There is hope...and you deserve to feel that hope as you work through your past and present experiences.

It's likely that you're looking at things that you haven't examined in quite the same way before, which can be unsettling in itself. Choosing to begin therapy was a positive step. You know from your own experience how debilitation depression can be...impossible for it to be easy to overcome, sad to say.
Definitely let the therapist know about the feelings and thoughts you're expressing here. They are important to the process and not unusual for someone who's been at it for not all that long. You may be "better off" than a man I met many years ago at a party. He'd begun to see a therapist about two months before. His early response was to be negative about EVERYTHING. I mentioned that I like the ride on the Staten Island Ferry, just to cross over and see the statue and the harbor, and stay on for the ride back, a free, refreshing, invigorating total of an hour. His response: " I hate the ferry. It goes nowhere, just back and forth with no destination. That's only one example of a long string of negative expressions from him. I think he was blocking out experience itself, forgetting or just not knowing that the journey counts at least as much as the destination.
You began with a certain expectation or hope that hasn't been the reality. Don't let this disappointment deter you from working toward your goal. As much as we it, it's a matter of adjusting your expectations and allowing yourself to go through the process, warts and all.
No one said it would be easy, but it can be easier.

Yes, it is normal to feel worse before you feel better.
Have you told your therapist how you feel? Have you expressed how you don't feel you are making progress? Flat out said that?
A lot of times we say things in a roundabout way, hoping our meaning is conveyed, but it isn't. We are afraid to be direct. Have you been direct with her?
Therapy is a process. You need to communicate what is going on in order to get help you need.

My experience with therapy was there were times I left feeling horrible and never wanting to return. I don't know that you'll find progress after one session but I would hope that you would find progress after a series of sessions. I would hope that you are being given tools to deal with your struggles, ways to figure things out, ways to deal with it, ways to get past it, you said that they've told you to get over it. That's not a solution.
I think you could feel worse before feeling better. Do you feel any better having let go of some of the pain, having put your struggles out there?
Have you tried different therapists? I hate to see you not get what you need.

I never started therapy expecting to feel great, I was hoping to find ways to approach the issues I'm struggling with that I haven't tried. I was hoping to find PROGRESS after a session, HOPE that I will be able to overcome depression. I leave feeling hopeless and more depressed than when I entered. That's what I mean to ask. Is it normal to feel worse before you feel better?

Ay, ay, ay.
Depending on what's discussed during a particular session and the mood of the day, of course it's possible to leave feeling crummy. I hope you didn't begin therapy thinking it's a feel-good experience, though it's far from impossible to have days. It's a work experience, which means the good, the bad, the ugly...sometimes the funny. It's an examination of real life and what one wants to do with it, what one wants change. If it were intended, impossibly, as a way to unload bad feelings and head out to tea parties week after week, it would be more convenient and less costly to say home, write the miseries on slips of paper and flush them.
If you're uncovering unhappy and unsatisfactory things in your sessions, why would you expect to feel great? Feeling great comes naturally to some, others have to put in some effort. We're generally in the latter group, sad to say, but feeling great isn't completely unknown, at least now and then, is it?

So I've been in counseling for a couple months now, and every time I go I leave the room feeling worse than when I went in. I have a lot of trouble sharing my feelings, and it's depressing to talk about them. I'm not getting any solutions that are working for me.. it feels like the solution is always to just get over it or wait until it stops bothering me. I've been trying those things for years and it hasn't gotten me anywhere. I don't know how this can help me..
Anyway, could feeling worse after spending an hour talking about your problems make sense? Or should I be feeling more optimistic?

The story of young Tom Brown's seemingly hideous years spent at rugby school and his spirited and astonishingly stalwart response to the institutionalised bullying prevalent at the 'Great' British public schools became exactly the campaigning tool its author hoped it would. The regimes at these schools had been largely unchallenged, with the assumption being that the education and training received were the best.
"Unexpectedly brilliant"
Tom Brown's Schooldays is the story of an energetic, good-hearted boy and his adventures at public school. Based on the author's own childhood, the novel presents us with a snapshot of life at Victorian public school as we follow Tom's development from a boy to a young man. Tom must fend off his archenemy, the bully Flashman, and take a younger boy under his wing - through which he learns loyalty, courage, and brotherhood.
William Halsey was the most famous naval officer of World War II. His fearlessness in carrier raids against Japan, his steely resolve at Guadalcanal, and his impulsive blunder at the Battle of Leyte Gulf made him the "Patton of the Pacific" and solidified his reputation as a decisive, aggressive fighter prone to impetuous errors of judgment in the heat of battle.

The operating environment in the hotels industry deteriorated in the last several quarters owing to the slowdown in the global economy, contracting credit markets and reduced consumer spends. However, with some early signs of economic recovery, the hotel industry is experiencing an increase in demand.
The operating metrics are looking up and year-over-year comparisons are becoming easier as the operating environment for the hotel industry was significantly stressed in the prior year.
Though corporate houses are still controlling their expenses, the recovery in the economy has seen the return of business travelers, with leisure demand increasing as well.
Improvement in hotel occupancy levels, average daily room rates and RevPAR (revenue per available room) are important indicators of a turnaround in hotels industry.
Marriott International Inc. (NYSE: MAR – News) a leading worldwide hospitality company in the hotel industry saw a rise in room rates at its North American hotels for the first time in two years during the month of May, indicating that the lodging industry is showing improvement.
Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS – News), the casino company also announced recently that its Las Vegas business is picking up especially during weekends as the economy gains lost ground.
The demand for hotels is greater in the international market than in the U.S., where the pace of economic recovery is particularly fast. Thus, companies such as Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide Inc. (NYSE: HOT – News) and Marriott are increasing their pipeline particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. Countries in the region that are of specific interest include China and India.
We believe that the recovery of the hotel industry has begun. The trend of positive demand growth is expected to continue in 2010 and beyond driven by economic recovery. According to the data from Smith Travel Research, the leading information and data provider for the lodging industry, the U.S. hotel industry reported mostly positive results in all three key performance measurements – occupancy level, ADR and RevPAR – during the week starting May 23, 2010.
Comparing the operating metrics with the prior-year period, it was found that the hotel industry's occupancy increased 19.1% to 61.3%. Average daily rate was up 4.3% to $97.21. As a result, RevPAR rose 24.2% to $59.56. Moreover, supply is expected to grow 2.0% during 2010 and demand is projected to increase 5.7%.
The operating environment in the international market is however better, which in turn is driving hoteliers to increase their share of the pie. Hotels in the Asia/Pacific region experienced increases in all three key performance metrics for April 2010, according to data from Smith Travel Research. The Asia-Pacific region's occupancy rose 11.7% to 65.3%, ADR increased 13.1% to $130.06 and RevPAR jumped 26.4% to $84.96.

Is there any way to batch run in sequence?
Hi, all.
I want to run a set of models in batch mode instead of interactive operation. Because one model could be solved in 2 hours, and I have several models to calculate during night.
After referring to documentation of help, I did not find the solution to get close to my goal. So, I hope anyone experienced this could do me a favor.
Thanks in advace!
Re: Is there any way to batch run in sequence?
The normal way to do this is to write a script to execute the CFX commands from a command line. The scripting can be done however you like - it is not part of CFX. So, on windows most people would use a batch script. On Linux/Unix, a shell script would generally be used. If you prefer, you could however use Perl, Python, etc instead....
It's quite simple to do - it's mainly just a list of CFX solver commands one after the other. You just need to make sure that the correct environment variables are set at the command prompt - you should be able to do this by launching your script from the CFX batch mode command prompt.
Good luck, andy
Re: Is there any way to batch run in sequence?
Thank you very much, Andy. Your timely reply may lead to less time effort, thank you.
Re: Is there any way to batch run in sequence?
One more tip is to use the "cfx5cmds" commands to extract the CCL from your .def file, manipulate it (for example changeing some input parameter) and writing it back again.
This way you avoid genereating multiple .def files for simple parameter changes.
Re: Is there any way to batch run in sequence?
Thanks for your tip,Jonathan.
But this should be done in the interactive mode,right? And modified .def file need to be prepared before batch running.

Jessica Grentner
Born into the fourth generation of a successful family of entrepreneurs, Jessica was afforded an early start to her education as a business owner. From a very early age Jessica could be found helping in the family business, a real estate investment group focused on revitalizing struggling or bankrupt properties. In the late 1950's the primary focus of the investments were in struggling hotels and opening restaurants. Growing up in a family business Jessica learned quickly about the discipline and positive mindset needed to become a successful entrepreneur. This crucial learning ground proved hard work does pay off and exposed Jessica to the sense of freedom that being your own boss could provide.
After graduating from American University with an International Business Degree she held positions with international banking firms like The Carlyle Group and Hypovereinsbank. Frustrated with high rents, long commutes and too many 60 hour work weeks, a move from New York City in Sept 2002 allowed Jessica to find her way back to the family business in Florida. Grateful to be in a more empowered working environment, she spent 5 years in property management, business development and sales for independent and franchised hotel, restaurant and retail interests. During this time Jessica was blessed with her first child and her focus shifted to finding the ideal balance of mother and entrepreneur. Looking to leave the 24/7 on-call requirements of the hotel and restaurant industry research began on the ideal business for a mom. That is when a very unique franchise opportunity, Discovery Maps, became available. This leap to print and online promotion allowed Jessica to move to the mountains of Colorado to raise her daughter on her terms. In 2007, Jessica started what would become Discovery Map of Vail, Colorado and Discovery Map of Eagle River Valley, Colorado. 2009 was marked by expansion when Jessica purchased the established Discovery Map of Summit County, Colorado which included the popular resort areas of Frisco, Dillon, Keystone, and Copper Mountain.
In developing the Discovery Map franchises Jessica found herself walking into 100's of businesses a year. In getting to know small business owners and learning more about their struggles and successes, clear patterns emerged. Having met some of these challenges through her previous work Jessica organized Net Results Marketing in January 2008. Rapid growth in interest in her low cost, low maintenance, creatively conscious marketing and business development strategies soon followed. As needs of clients' expanded, so did the service offerings and the name evolved to Net Results Consulting. Jessica looks to empower the entrepreneur and small business owner to navigate the future challenges of main street and Internet without the burden of a full time hire.
Jessica is a proud mother to an adventuresome daughter and 2 sons. She enjoys skiing, hiking, sailing, bio-dynamic farming, volunteering, yoga, property renovations, going trashing (hunting for garbage in places it should not be!), dancing and vegetarian cooking. At the forefront of her other passions is the environment, clean water access, sustainable food production, independent business, Waldorf Education, and Quantum Activism. She has called Miami, FL, Washington, D.C., New York, NY, Breckenridge, CO, Big Fork Montana, Carbondale Colorado, and a few other regions of the United States home but most recently enjoys the serenity of Central Colorado and the occasional visit to her salty roots in Florida.

Bridgeport, Connecticut, United States
- Date of passing: Apr 11, 2013
|My bones drank water; water fell through all my doors. I was the well that fed the lake that met my sea in which I sang 'Abide with Me'
Marcia Lynne Hunt (Marchese), a passionate activist, dedicated educator, loving mother and loyal friend, passed away unexpectedly April 11, 2013 at the age of 72. A long-time San Francisco resident, and recent transplant to the Sacramento area, Marcia was a formidable woman who knew her mind and wasn't afraid to share her opinion in any situation. A feminist who empowered others to find their inner strength, she sparkled in a crowd as she drew one in with her quick wit, sharp intellect and dazzling smile. A voracious traveler with an eye for the adventurous in both cuisine and locale, she grabbed onto life with a gusto that few possess but all will remember.
She is survived by her loving husband of 49 years, Jay B. Hunt, her brother David Marchese, her children David and Deborah Hunt and her two grandsons, Hunter and Tyler who loved their Nana beyond words and wish she could have played with them longer.
Memorial services are currently being planned. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be sent to the Indiana University Foundation for the Frank & Carolyn Marchese and Donna Bye Hunt Scholarships at PO Box 500 | Bloomington, IN. 47402 or a charity of your choice.
To our wife, lover, mother, friend - you will be missed but remembered always in our hearts and minds.
Condolences may be sent to:
The Hunt Family
6423 Faustino Way
Sacramento, CA 95831

"To Marcia's family,
I never realized how much Marcia( or as I had known her Ms. Marchese
teacher at Ridgefield High School during the 60's)influenced my life. I later became an English teacher, then an administrator finally retiring this year after 45 years in education. I married a man from Bridgeport and went to college in Bridgeport. I was and still am very out spoken and always speak the truth. I guess that is what I really respected from Marcia especially at Ridgefield High where there where so many fake people there who didn't have the courage to speak the truth. Marcia did and made you feel good about yourself at I did. I walked away from her class with confidence while the boys were all acting sophomorically I could still feel in charge. I only wish I knew her longer when she lived in Ridgefield. We never left the area. The other strange thing is that she died on my sister's birthday a day I wont forget. So in a way she left a little legacy to me which I never was aware of until I read about her life and remembered those days in her class when she always be ready to tell me the truth. step up to the plate and get the job done. How fortunate her family was to have her for such a short time. I never realized that she was only six years older than I was when I was in high school. She was the epitome of sophistication certainly not like our Italian moms back then; such a great role model. Believe it or not Marcia and my second teacher are the reason why I became a teacher. I only hope I have made an impression on someone during my time. Thank you for sharing
"Marcia-Your infectious smile and exhilarating approach to life will never dim for me. I'm sure you are now VP in charge of attitude and change. I miss you. Love to JB, David, Deb and the kids."
"Today I went to get the mail and on my way in, I admired my roses and the first bloom. I thought of Marcia and our shared passions for gardens, art, children, and families. Oh how I miss her! My heart still hurts. Life at times is bittersweet. Know that I loved-love her and her dear family.
"Marcia, thinking of you, Jay and your family today! Your spirit is still so strong around us and we continue to celebrate your life. Thank you for sharing your life with us! We remain blessed for knowing you.
We have lit a candle in our home for you! And today surrounded by art in the gallery, I can't help but think of you. Thank you!"
"Well then, this date must be why I've been thinking of Marcia so much lately. I still think of calling her to tell her of something I know she'd enjoy hearing or have advice about.
Warm regards to Jay and the family."
"Thinking of the amazing, inimitable, irreplaceable Marcia today. she always knew a lot, now she knows it all. Love you, gorgeous."
"I attended school w/ Marcia at city college of san francisco in the hotel & restaurant school. I admired her a great deal and we got along because she liked to do things differently; her way. Marcia taught me a great deal about standing up for ones beliefs and saying whats on your mind. I am grateful for the leadership skills that I learned and the compassion & love she shared with all."
"Happy Birthday, Marcia I can see you smiling down on us. Miss and love you."
"Marcia was a fabulous friend and political mentor to me. I miss her greatly, but I still think about her regularly. She's here in my memories and in my opinion she's still here period! As long as we remember her, and those we love, they're still here. Thoughts and
prayers to JB, Deb, David, Hunter&Tyler.Margel Kaufman"
"Marcia - you are remembered fondly today! I know you are smiling down on us all! Thank you for sharing your life and love of life with so many of us! We miss you dearly! We toast "salute" you on your Birth day! Much love from your Sicilian family in Mexico, Joe, Claire and Gena"
"Marcia was such a force of nature and although visits were not that frequent, her spirit was always with me - encouraging me, inspiring me, reminding me to be myself - as she always was. Her love for her family and her willingness to do anything to protect them will be with me always. I just try to emulate her - always moving forward. Love to all, remember the flame that was her life."
"We miss Marcia daily! She was so vital in so many ways. We send our love to Jay B, Deborah, David, Hunter, Tyler and her brother David Marchese, during this time of loss and remembering. So glad we got to be with her this year in Mexico. She's on to her next life and journey, but we find she's with us daily! Forever remembered!"
"Dear Jay and Family ~ I was shocked and heartbroken to receive word of Marcia's passing. You two were so very supportive and kind when I lost the love of my life, Allan. Your words meant so very much. The kindness we give in life are flowers, and I've found when you need them the most, God gives you back a bouquet. My love to you all. RS"
"I'm very sad that Marcia has passed. She never knew that she was my inspiration to become an English teacher. It was her flair for the dramatic,her excitement in the classroom, her love of life that has lead me to 45 years in the education. Now as an administrator I am able to be (I hope) as passionate with my strong opinions (in tact) in further helping my students as she did at RHS '64"
"Marcia and Jay B were Godparents to one of my siblings. Leni Wilhelmi's impression of her is this, "Your being leaves a mark on human history. There will never, ever be anyone exactly like you. It is up to you leave a mark. A volume, a book, a chapter, a paragraph, a sentence, a punctuation mark, and blank space. You will leave a mark." Marcia clearly left a mark. Sentiments shared by all."
"Jay B. and family so sorry for your sudden loss. I know Marcia was a tremendous force, influence, presence and inspiration in your lives even though we never knew her well. Our thoughts are with you and your family."
"Marcia had a huge smile, a large voice and an enormous presence! My first job in San Francisco was with the School Volunteers. I felt at home with her East Coast energy and send my condolances to Jay and family. Upon reading the tributes, I learned something new about Marcia's past and discovered a new connection. I did my student teaching at Tappen Middle school in Ann Arbor in 1966."
"Marcia was my mother's boss (and mentor) in the early 80's. I was a shy little kid with a precocious older brother so I didn't speak much. But Marcia wouldn't let me hide behind my brother. It wasn't simply that she was interested in what I had to say; she was interested in my having the courage to say it. She was a badass with a big heart and she will be missed."
"JB – my condolences to you and your/her family. My parents have shared many stories about her with me – and I am sad that I was not able to get to know her better. My love, prayers and sympathy. Amanda Wilhelmi"
"Marcia will be great missed! I learned so much from her, especially about her art - likes and dislikes. I respected her opinions. I will miss her visits to the gallery, our talks about food - mostly Italian -meatballs and sausage. So many fond memories - her warm smile, her support of our family! She was an Amazing woman - we were so lucky to have known her & Jay B. ..The Guarniere family"
"This tribute is very touching, and my deepest sympathies and wishes go to Jay B and family. It is clear just by reading these messages what a significant and positive impact Marcia made on everyone who knew her."
"She was so loved! She was so passionate! She was bigger than life, and we will always hear her voice! My love and bear hugs to Jay B, Deborah and David."
"Sending my condolences and best wishes to Jay B and the rest of the family- condolences for the sadness accompanying the loss of Marcia's companionship, best wishes for the joy found in celebrating a life well and truly lived."
"Thanks, Deborah, for the wonderful tribute that you left for your mother. You did her proud."
"Dear Hunt Family.
I had the pleasure ot meeting Marcia late through working with J.B. Marcia was kind, intelligent and a formidable and accomplished woman. I must admit that I admired her strenght and dedication to her beliefs. She will be missed but left a strong legacy for her Family/friends."
"I certainly not sure what to say, "My Dear Marcia, I will miss you deeply." You have been a great inspiration to me. Heartfelt condolence to Jay & family."
"Marcia was a tough lady who fought brilliantly for women's rights and for peace. She was dedicated to justice and public service, and accomplished so much for others in her lifetime. I will miss knowing she was still with us, battling on our side.
Barbara Lifton, former Chair, Conn. Women's Political Caucus."
"A smile that lit up a room! A passion that could not be resisted! Love for life that infected everyone she touched. Christmas dinners on Park Av. where Marcia got all her cousins to do the clean-up. An amazing force even then! God bless you Cousin! Our love, prayers and sympathy to the Hunt / Marchese family."
"Seeing the photos of Marcia with my Dad and with her father, my Uncle Frank, I'm back at the long tables, on a Christmas day in Bridgeport Ct. I was dazzled by her then and all the years we lived so far from each other have done nothing to change that. I'll will never forget her, my beautiful cousin Marcia."
"Teaching junior high school in Ann Arbor in the mid-60s with Marcia is a fond memory. Marcia always inspired me with her savvy ways of coalescing a group and getting things done. She was opinionated and never feared speaking out—endlessly energetic and, best, great fun. Sending love to Jay and the Hunt family."
"Love the early photo of Marcia. It's close to the young, bikini glad, English teacher/lifeguard we met the summer of '64 in Ann Arbor. How blessed we were to have formed a friendship that took us through the years together. Ev and I send our deepest sympathy to Jay, Debbie, David her son, David her brother, Hunter and Tyler."
"Our hearts are with all of Marcia's Family at this time. We have fond memories of She, Jay and Her Mom (who loved our hotdogs). They were good customers who became friends at our Puerto Vallarta restaurant "La Fonda Chiles". Marcia was truly a lady of class and grace. She brought friends to our eatery for "Ladies" days and they always brightened our garden. We will miss Her."
"Our sincere and heartfelt condolences go to the Hunt/Marchese family for the great loss of your Marcia. Our deep sorrow comes from the loss of our dear cousin Marcia , but we find some comfort from the profound love and admiration we will always have for Marcia. Our hope is that true love will sustain you in the days ahead. Love, always Sandy and joe Milone"
"My deepest sympathies to the Hunt Family and Friends. She was a wonderful loving soul I had the pleasure of meeting at Chuck and Mary Rapoport's home. I hope that you are all comforted by the memories and love that you shared. May she rest in peace, her departure much too soon. She will be missed by all."
"Sending love and light to the amazing, inimitable, brilliant Marcia on her journey. A galactic spirit with a heart as warm as the sun. Jay B., Deb, David, boys: how blessed was Marcia by you all, and you by her. A huge loss. I know she will be by your side and on your shoulders, spurring you on to be your highest and best selves. Love, prayers, healing energy coming at you. Kit & Bruce"
"I found my first job in San Francisco because I'd met Marcia Hunt, my boss-to-be, while volunteering in Feinstein's campaign for mayor of SF. So I saw how Marcia loved seeing women claim their power & used her savvy, charisma & resonant voice to make that happen. Sharing dinners, talk, & Crete with dynamic duo, Marcia & Jay, has been such a joy! With love to Jay & family from Eve & Bill"
"I am not sure what to say. Marcia was definitely one of the strongest yet most compassionate and gentle spirits I have known. I am bummed I wasn't able to stay connected over the years. Her influence on me as a young man will always be cherished fondly. My love to you Deb, Jay B and David. -- Sam"
"We will miss Marcia immensely. This world has a big gaping hole in it with her absence. We need more brave women, with passion, chutzpah, strong opinions, smarts, and loyal dedication to friends, family, and society (not to mention with great taste!) to even attempt to fill this space. Sending J.B., Deb, and David love from the Solteros. If we can help in any way, let us know."
