Loved the recipe--the cookies filled with jam do improve over a few days. I filled a few with chocolate (a few chocolate chips melted with a bit of heavy cream) and they were also wonderful! The chocolate is not classic--but is great with the hazel nuts!flag if inappropriate
Very tasty. Get roasted hazelnut flour from King Arthur to make life easier - rolls out well, too. Also, if you use the wild strawberry jam (chefshop.com) you'll be in for a treat, too.flag if inappropriate
I thought the hazelnuts were a wonderful addition to the cookie dough. Mine did not overpower the other flavors. I loved these cookies, and would like to try this recipe again using other flavors of jam to see how it tastes. But it would be hard to top the raspberry.flag if inappropriate
Great cookie if you like hazelnuts, for some reason they overpowered the flavors. I might have roasted them too long, they do take a while to make. My dough was a little too soft even after refrigerating for 2 hours, therefore when I tryed to put them on the cookie sheet they didn't keep their shape. so for the second batch I rolled the dough out on between two sheets of wax paper, cut the cookies out, removed the extra dough and left the cookies on the wax paper, placed them on the cookie sheet & baked them. Next time I'll try them with a shortbread base.flag if inappropriate
Great!!! A little bit labour intensive - the dough was quite sticky. After rolling out the dough, I put it in the freezer for about 5 minutes. The cutouts stayed together much better - the dough didn't tear when I tried to remove the shapes from the rolled-out sheet. These get better the day after! To respond to the previous question - dust w/sugar before sandwiching (keeps the jam center clean).flag if inappropriate
do dust with powdered sugar before or after sandwiching together?flag if inappropriate

Ragball Unit
Ragball is a game similar to baseball or softball. One team will bat and the other team will be in the field.
Modified Ragball Rules
· The Ragball is a "softer" softball sized ball.
· When the ball is batted, the players in the field must tag the cone (base) that the batter is running to before they get there.
· There is NO tagging the base runner.
· If a base runner has no one behind them they do not need to run to the next base.
· There is a "no tag" rule which means any ball that is hit the base runners can advance (even if the ball is caught).
· If a runner chooses to advance they cannot go back to the previous base.
· There will be a "pitcher rule" stating that if the players in the field get the ball to the pitcher before a player is half way to the next base then the base runner cannot advance.
· The base runner must go back to the previous base.

The Career Doctor's Cures & Remedies to Quintessentially Perplexing Career and Job-Hunting Ailments
Question: "Should I moonlight -- get a second job -- and how do I go about doing it?"
by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D.
Somewhere between 7-8 million Americans hold a second or third job... and most do so to simply earn a living or to help earn extra money. Moonlighting is tough -- it's hardest on you (because you will have no free time) and your family and friends (because they will never see you).
Here are some moonlighting strategies -- for finding and surviving a second job:
- Check your main employer's policies. Before you even consider looking for a second job, take the time to check your current employer's policies about holding outside employment.
- Understand your reasons for taking a second job. If it's purely monetary, you may be able to talk to your current employer to pick up extra shifts rather than take a second job.
- Consider a trial basis. Moonlighting in short doses -- to accomplish some short-term goals -- usually works better than working multiple jobs for long stretches of time.
- Find a job that interests you. Perhaps you have a boring office job as your main job, so try something fun like being a tour guide or other more unusual job for your second one.
- Consider second jobs that are less stressful. If your first job is a pressure-cooker, find a second one that is relaxing to you, such as pet-sitting or tutoring.
- Find jobs that are geographically close to each other -- or to your home. Your time will be limited enough without adding a long commute to your second job.
- Seek out new opportunities with new employers. If you are contemplating a career change, but are not sure of your next career, use second jobs to test out some of your career ideas.
- Reduce your load. If you are working multiple jobs, it's probably time to cut some of those extracurricular activities.
- Carve out time for significant others. You must find a way to schedule some time with your family and friends or those relationships will suffer... and if you have a partner, be sure s/he is okay with your plans.
- Know when it's time to quit. Whether it's when you reach your financial goal or when you are beginning to mentally or physically breakdown, you must reduce your load... though that does not necessarily mean quitting your second job (if it has become your new career passion).

Rio Rancho Observer
Editor's note: This article has been reprinted with permission from the Rio Rancho Observer.
A Rio Rancho couple, who grew up in Los Alamos, is trying to help hospitalized children in memory of their daughter, who died for no obvious reason.
Megan Dugan was almost 21 months old when she died in her sleep in February. Her mother, Jennifer Dugan, a 1992 graduate of Los Alamos High School, said medical examiners have run tests but found nothing to explain the death, making it likely to be classified as Sudden Unexplained Death of a Child (SUDC). Her father is Tim Dugan, also a 1992 graduate of LAHS.
"A big part for me now is making sure people don't forget her," Jennifer said.
She's also trying to do something good, to find a meaning in Megan's death, by helping patients at the University of New Mexico Children's Hospital get teddy bears.
"It's got to be really hard on families in the children's hospital — their kids are sick," she said.

|Dimensions with Multi Valued Attributes
|Written by Vincent Rainardi
|Sunday, 20 March 2011 00:16
A multi valued attribute is an attribute which has more than 1 value per dimension row. A "Multi Valued Attribute" is different to A "Multi Valued Dimension". A "Multi Value Attribute" occurs in a dimension, whereas a "Multi Valued Dimension" occurs in a fact table. A "Multi Valued Dimension" is a dimension with more than 1 value per fact row. As always it is best to explain by example:

Pat Buchanan is a long-time opponent of affirmative action, but tonight on the Rachel Maddow show, Buchanan let loose some of his most regressive ideas about saving white males from the scourge of women and people of color that victimize them. You can watch Rachel Maddow's interview of Pat Buchanan here.
Thanks FireDogLake and Media Matters for the video.
Here's an excerpt from Pat Buchanan's Human Events column, in which she notes he is actively urging Republicans to use the Sotomayor nomination as race bait to appeal to white, working class voters that Maddow quoted during her show on July 15th:
"These are the folks whose jobs have been outsourced to China and Asia, who pay the price of affirmative action when their sons and daughters are pushed aside to make room for the Sonia Sotomayors. These are the folks who want the borders secured and the illegals sent back."
Buchanan's last line about securing borders and sending illegals "back" certainly implies that Sotomayor, like all Hispanics, is only an inch away from being an illegal alien because of her ethnicity.
Maddow suggested several times during the segment that Buchanan was "dating himself" by advocating what is basically Nixon's 1968 Southern Strategy all over again. "Dating himself" was Maddow's polite way of noting that Buchanan's views are at best ignorant, and at worst, racist.
What struck me most about Buchanan's appearance on Maddow this evening is his continued insistance on the idea that white men, and only white men, built this country and are responsible for all historic constributions–effectively erasing the contributions of white women and non-white men and women who for the better part of American history couldn't even vote, let alone have access to the kind of education and professional advantages that white men enjoyed in this country for so long.
When asked why he thought that 110 out of 108 Supreme Court justices where white, Buchanan launched into a tirade about how this country was built by "white folks," and when Buchanan says "white folks" he means "white males" as he repeated over and over during the segment. What Pat Buchanan sees when he looks at America are non-white men and women (not to mention white women) usurping the authority of the white men who "built this country.
Maddow concluded the segment by telling Buchanan:
"For you to priviledge race and to say that what we really need to tap politically is white people's racist grievances, well you're playing with fire."
Indeed. It's time for Buchanan to stop speaking in public. He's part of a fast disappearing America and I for one can't wait to see him gone.
I won't even begin to address Buchanan's sexist arguments against Sotomayor. I'll save that for another day.
Sign the petition to ask MSNBC to fire Pat Buchanan!
And if that weren't enough, Buchanan was on Hardball with Chris Matthews saying that Hispanics aren't eligible for affirmative action because there were never enslaved. From Media Matters:

The older I become, the more I agree with my Grandfather's assessment: The 'mark of Cain' was that Cain was turned into the First White Man: Cain was so self-centered and evil that he murdered his brother because of extreme jealousy and envy... Seems to be a trait carried over in many White Men today!
I can see and have experienced both sides of the argument. It's never really fair to make affirmative action your goal. In an ideal society we wouldn't need to. Let's hope the unfairness of affirmative actions make our societies more equal so we won't need to use the actions any longer.
thank you, I always learn a lot by Care2
No comment. Thanks for the link to the article and clip.
This is the same pat buchanan who during his presidential campaign threw out the idea of 'putting' all Af-Ams into 5 states, right? it's the typical 'you didnt have it so bad' argument he always presents when it comes to the suffering and atrocities experienced by non-white people, particularly in America. Nothing new here and nothing new from him. The man (and his sister) are known for profoud myopia, heartless and deeply distorted perspectives on such matters.
Pat is right so then white men just need to shut the f%$$ up bcs white rich men have everything already. So let color people do what they need to do to make money and be happy too. Why are you guys the only one allowed to make real money. Look what you did to our economy and we are all paying for it.All our children will pay for it. No one is god, stop trying to be. Its falling apart because you allowed it mr. Pat.Your people Pat did all this!!!!!! Stop blaming color people for your problems non of us COLOR PEOPLE MADE MONEY ON THIS ECONOMIC BAIL OUT!!!!!!! LOOK AROUND, WHO'S GOT THE MONEY?? WE DON'T...ALSO IT'S WHAT WE CALL BLAME RUSH LIMBAUGH IT'S ALL HIS FAULT=(BRL)STUPID REPUBLICAN
The only one that should feel bitter, it is the Native Americans. I work with all Cultures, noone is ever better than myself. Live and Let Live.
So... what did he say that wasn't true?
I wholeheartedly agree with Pat Buchanan. More white women should also be backing him instead of pooling with minority/affirmative action women. He mentioned a white female in his rant so to say that he is only for the white man is rediculous. Women are making it that way.
Marcia, my "under 2%" figure for Northern states is accurate. Here is a source, the Historical Census Browser of the University of Virginia Library:
This gives census data for the year 1820, around the time this nation was being built. From the Ethnicity/Race/Place of Birth table, click "total free colored persons"; from the Slave Population table, click "total slaves". Then click Submit Query. On the next page, click "total population" from the Add or Remove Topics table, and Submit Query again. This gives a table showing the Black population at the time for each state against their total population. The Black populations of the five biggest Northern states were:
New York 39,367/1,372,812 = 2.87%
Pennsylvania 30,413/1,549,458 = 1.96%
Ohio 4,723/581,434 = 0.81%
Massachusetts 6,740/523,287 = 1.29%
Maine 929/298,335 = 0.31%
By 1860, the percentage of Blacks in the Nothern states was considerably smaller.
As for the balance of your message, I don't know who you're arguing with; I stand by what I said. On the exploitation of poor White workers, I couldn't agree with you more. White indentured servants in the colonies were essentially slaves.

The Naked Truth
Stiff competition. Deadbeat customers. Backend hell. Welcome to the real world of Internet porn.
By Edward Cone
When his dotcom employer folded last summer, the man who calls himself Adam had a fallback plan: amp up his efforts on his voyeur porn site, Publicflash.com, and turn it into a real business. Adam figured he'd have a blast getting attractive women to do full-frontal flashes outside the local Old Navy, in gas station parking lots, on park benches. Men would line up to pay for the photos, and he'd sit back and count the money.
But as Adam has discovered, running a porn site isn't so easy - or much fun. For starters, the exhibitionism market is crowded with competitors. Then there's the capital outlay required; maintenance and hosting cost hundreds of dollars per month. And there are unforeseen security problems that soak up time and money. "Some users gave out passwords, and they got posted," he says glumly.
Even the part with the nude models turns out to be a drag. "Content acquisition is a pain in the butt," Adam says. "It's constant hand-holding. I have one photographer in New Jersey - I say to set up a shoot, then the model backs out. I send money, harass the guy with email, and get my hundred shots three months later." And don't even ask how Adam's wife feels about it.
Welcome to the real world of Internet porn, a market where the easy money has long since been pocketed - and where even the established players aren't enjoying work the way they once did. In addition to the typical hassles that come with running any operation, this hypercompetitive industry brings its own set of issues: unique legal problems, deadbeat customers, and even the occasional moral qualm.
Which is not to say there's no money in online porn. Although exact figures are hard to come by, this is easily a $1 billion industry, with a complex economy all its own. At the center are a handful of well-established companies, like Cybererotica and Sex.com, generating several million dollars apiece each month. These outfits pay smaller sites for funneling surfers to their higher-quality photos.
If a visitor to, say, College Lesbians or The Gay Gallery connects to a pay site and signs up for content, College Lesbians receives a conversion fee from the larger site. A successful large operation like Cybererotica is really an umbrella company serving many markets with pay sites ranging from Boobtropolis and VoyeurDorm to Hardcrank and Fuck Force 5. Around this core and its affiliates is an ecosystem of ad-supported service sites, such as YNOTmasters.com, a portal for adult webmasters, and Persian Kitty, a hardcore link directory. Breaking in anywhere along this chain is tough.
It's still possible to make a modest income by posting some free pictures and links as part of an affiliate program. "If you have some expertise at getting search engine traffic or using thumbnail galleries," says Ron Levi, one of the principals at Voice Media, owner of Cybererotica, "you can make a couple of hundred bucks per month." But even that's harder than it was. Until last year, most pay sites dished out $50 per conversion. Now $40 is the norm. According to a July 2000 poll taken by YNOT, half of porn sites gross less than $20,000 per year. "The number of adult webmasters who aren't making money is higher than ever," says Oz, president of TheAdultWebmaster.com.
And taking on the big companies is near impossible. PrimeXTC, the most-hyped entrant of recent years, capped a lavish trade show launch with a private concert by David Lee Roth - then quickly disappeared. "The guys in charge didn't have a clue," says former webmaster Charles Kindall. "They wanted to meet chicks, but they failed to build the business."
Not even a legendary brand can guarantee riches. Playboy.com has lost almost $50 million in the past two years and last October laid off more than a third of its employees. "We underestimated the cost of creating inventory for the Web," says Playboy.com CEO Larry Lux. To keep the site alive, it's diversifying into online gambling in Europe and Asia.
Levi pities anyone dreaming about breaking into porn these days. "When we started in late '95, our conversions were about 1 of 20. Now our average is 1 of 200," he says. "If you started now in this business with $5 million and didn't make a single mistake, I still don't know if you'd make it."
For the aspiring Web pornographer, these are the challenges, business and otherwise.
Pimping the Product
People still surf for porn. The Internet represents nothing if not the great democratization of smut - bringing skin to millions of homes, dorm rooms, and offices around the world. According to the Online Computer Library Center, there are about 74,000 adult Web sites. And, except in extreme cases - like war or bioterrorism - sex remains the most-searched word on the Web. So, as in any business, success requires some fairly mundane but critical skills - like the ability to pick a good name, draw traffic, and generate revenue.
The problem is that the site names guaranteed to bring in traffic - sex.com, pussy.com, and just about any twist on fuck, lesbo, and cheerleader - are long since taken. There's not much room for a good branding campaign, so when it comes to marketing, the focus has to be on manipulating the search engines. "Just submitting a site doesn't do much. Even targeting keywords like 'Latin girls' and 'XXX' - if you're down there on the third page, you aren't getting the traffic," says Gary Grigoryan, VP of operations at YNOT. "It's a science, knowing how different search engines qualify sites by different measures."

2005 (Sr.)�One of three finalists for the Ray Guy Award (he finished as the runner-up for the honor), he earned first-team all-Big 12 Conference honors from the league coaches (second-team by the Associated Press), while being named second-team All-America by the Walter Camp Foundation (and honorable mention from SI.com). For the year, including the bowl game, he finished third in the Big 12 and fifth in the NCAA in punting with a 45.2 average on 80 punts, with 31 kicks of 50 yards or longer (six 60-plus) and 28 placed inside-the-20 (10 inside-the-10, five inside-the-5). He led the nation much of the season, but abnormally brutal windy conditions at Kansas State and Iowa State caused him to fall off a bit. He won the gross punting battle with opponent punters 23 of 26 times in his junior and senior seasons combined (the net 24 times), as he proved equally effective on the road as he has in Boulder. In one of his best games, he averaged 47.0 on seven punts at Miami (elevation: 7 feet), and other strong numbers included a 50.1 average in the fourth quarter (12 punts, six inside-the-20), and a 46.7 average on punts in CU territory. In the bowl game against Clemson, he again had one of the top postseason efforts by any punter, owning a 49.7 average for nine punts, including four inside-the-20 and a CU all-time bowl best kick of 68 yards (he had four over 52 yards in the game). Following the year in the Senior Bowl, he punted five times for a 38.0 average, with a long of 53 and two punts inside the 20. He owns seven of the top 25 gross punting days in school history, four his junior season and three as a senior: 52.3-yard average efforts versus Colorado State (2004) and New Mexico State (2005) are tied for the 10th best all-time and are his top efforts. He also owns four of the top 20 net punting games, topped by a 50.7 net average against NMSU. He finished fifth all-time at Colorado in gross career average (44.61), first in total punts (205), first in punts inside-the-20 (65) and first in punts of 50 yards or longer (64, with 17 over 60 yards). For his career, he placed 22 punts inside-the-10, also a school best, and had just 18 touchbacks in 205 punts. He owned the fourth highest average of active punters in the NCAA at 44.71 at the end of his senior year (includes bowl games).
2004 (Jr.)�He was the second-team all-Big 12 punter (Associated Press, Big 12 Coaches), though the Austin American-Statesman made him their first-team choice; arguably was the best punter in the nation in 2004, but once eliminated from the Ray Guy Award (for having too many punts returned through nine games) and losing out to Baylor senior Daniel Sepulveda (the eventual Guy winner) for official first-team all-Big 12 honors, All-America honors for him were pretty much out of the question (ESPN.com selected him as the punter on its All-America team, with SI.com tabbing him honorable mention). Some used the old altitude argument against him (though no opponent punter topped him in six games in Boulder), but his 43.7 road average alone would have still ranked him 11th in the NCAA. He was first in the Big 12 and second in the NCAA with a 46.54 average (includes the bowl game), and it gets better looking inside his numbers: he averaged 49.6 on 19 kicks inside the Buff 25, as well as 47.5 yards per punt on CU's side of the field. He had 22 punts inside-the-20 to set a school record (32 percent of his 68 kicks). His punting has paved the way for Colorado to lead the nation in net punting with a 42.43 average, 1.29 yard ahead of runner-up BYU. He owned an average of 42.1 on 15 fourth quarter punts (6 In20, 3 In10), and inside-the-CU25, he had five fourth quarter kicks for 255 yards, or 51.0 per; one of those kicks came late in CU's 27-24 victory over CSU, as he boomed a 61-yarder to get the Buffs out of a hole at their own 16 yardline with 4:30 remaining. Only five of his kicks went for touchbacks; nine were downed, 14 fair caught and 40 returned for a paltry 6.7 average (21st in the NCAA, and lower than those of the three Guy Award finalists). He earned his way on CU's prestigious Victory Club, as those who make it must post a winning productivity grade in at least eight games, and was CU's special teams player of the week three times (CSU, OSU and Texas). Against UTEP in the bowl game, he averaged 50.0 yards on four punts, with a long of 58 and one inside-the-20. He was one of 36 original players on the Guy Award watch list but his returned punt count prohibited him from making the 10-member semifinalist group.
2003 (Soph.)�He played in all 12 games, as he was CU's regular punter, finishing fourth in the Big 12 and 31st in the nation in punting with a 42.5 average. His 63 punts overall tied for the fifth most ever in a single season at Colorado, with 16 placed inside-the-20 (eight inside-the-10), with 14 traveling 50 yards or longer and four 60-yards plus. He owned a 42.1 average on 21 punts inside CU's 25, and a 44.0 average for 57 kicks on CU's side of the 50. While the average return of his kicks went for 10.2 yards, only 31 of 63 were returned, with another six fair caught (and just four touchbacks). He executed both his fake punt attempts, the first for a 20-yard run against No. 1 Oklahoma that was the key play in a 76-yard touchdown march by the Buffs, and the second a week later for 10 yards in another scoring drive at Texas Tech. A fairly talented defender, he was in on three tackles, two being touchdown saves, after return men eluded CU's aggressors on his kicks. The downside was that four of his punts were blocked, leading to a 37.3 net average (Kansas State busted through to block two of those). He booted both his career long and short kicks in the same game: in the finale against Nebraska, he got off a 69-yard bomb in the first quarter, but with the winds picking up, his last kick of the day went for just four yards, the only negative to an otherwise spectacular day (six punts, also including a 60-yard boot, and a 44.5 average). He was CU's special teams player of the week for two games, versus Colorado State (10 punts for a 40.8 average with three inside the 20 in the rain) and Missouri (a 50.7 average on six punts, with three inside-the-20 and punts of 61, 60 and 55 yards).
2002 (Fr.-RS)�He was the backup to Mark Mariscal, thus he had an up-close view of the nation's 2002 Ray Guy Award winner. He did punt three times for a 49.7 average, all three placed inside-the-20 with a long of 63. His net average on the three kicks was a more than healthy 49.3.
2001�Redshirted; practiced at both punter and placekicker his first year on campus.
HIGH SCHOOL�As a senior, he earned all-conference honors for the third straight year when he scored 57 points, as he made good of 45-of-50 extra points and 4-of-6 field goal tries (with a long of 43). He also owned a 40.3 average for 25 punts, including a long of 65 and three inside-the-20. As a junior, he was 53-of-56 on PAT kicks and a perfect 4-of-4 in field goals, with a long of 45. He averaged 35.8 yards on 15 punts. Monarch was 9-3 his senior year, winning the league title and making the state playoffs, and was 8-3 his junior and 9-3 his sophomore seasons under coach Phil Bravo. He also lettered three times in soccer, earning all-conference honors as a sophomore, and three times in track (hurdles). He holds four school records in track: 110 and 300 hurdles, long jump and 2x400 relay.
ACADEMICS�He is majoring in both political science and economics at Colorado, and intends to going to law school after he graduates. He earned second-team Academic All-Big 12 Conference honors as a senior, and is also a two-time member of the Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll (his sophomore and junior seasons). He was one of 62 official nominations for the prestigious Vincent Draddy Trophy, considered the "academic" Heisman. In high school, he was an American Mathematic Award winner and earned All-Academic honors as a senior.
PERSONAL�Born August 19, 1982 in Seattle, Wash. Hobbies include skiing and photography. An older brother (Karl) is a news anchor for CBS/FOX 12 in Jacksonville, Fla., while a younger sister, Anne-Marie, plays basketball at Utah State.

Psychology Internship Program
Information for current students interested in a predoctoral internship with the BOP.
We've been training doctoral-level psychologists for more than 40 years. Each of our Psychology Predoctoral Internship Programs continues this commitment to training by providing clinical and counseling graduate students with a well-rounded, high-quality training experience. We seek the clinical or counseling psychology student whose personal career goals and objectives can be strengthened, reinforced, and expedited by the training experiences we provide. Namely, our training models seek to facilitate the growth of those who wish to become well trained generalists who can also function competently in a correctional environment. While individual training sites employ different training techniques and models to achieve this objective, all training sites have several common features.
Interns receive graduated exposure to the clinician role, practicing with greater independence as their skills increase, always with supervisors available for consultation. Training includes both individualized and group supervision; assignment of challenging, culturally diverse therapeutic cases; and a sequence of didactic seminars designed to increase each intern's general knowledge, as well as his/her understanding of the unique issues involved in the practice of psychology in a correctional setting. Practice in psychological assessment and opportunities to engage in research or other scholarly activities are also included during the internship year.
In addition, individual training sites may also provide interns with additional training opportunities unique to that site. For example, some sites offer experience in such areas as forensic assessment, substance abuse treatment, or behavioral medicine. Other sites may expose interns to unique treatment populations, such as geriatric, female, HIV+, or violent offenders.
For several decades, the Bureau has relied upon the internship program to provide the agency with uniquely qualified entry-level psychologists. Interns who have proven themselves to be competent clinicians and who are comfortable working within the correctional setting are often recruited by the Bureau at the end of their internship year. To be eligible for an entry-level psychology position with the Bureau, interns must have completed all doctoral degree requirements, be U.S. citizens and not have reached their 37th birthday (in accordance with Public Law 100-238) at the time of initial appointment (age waivers may be granted up to the age of 40).
Application Requirements
Intern selection at each training site is based largely on breadth and quality of clinical experience, demonstrated academic achievement, consistency of interests with the training goals of the program, personal integrity, and maturity. Selections and the offer of positions at each site are made in strict accordance with the policies of the Association of Postdoctoral and Psychology Internship Center's (APPIC) Internship Matching Program. For a detailed description of these policies and procedures, refer to APPIC's website. These internship sites agree to abide by the APPIC policy that no person at these training facilities will solicit, accept, or use any ranking-related information from any intern applicant.
Applicants for Bureau internship positions should also be aware that they are applying for a position in a Federal law enforcement agency. Therefore, selection entails not only demonstration of exceptional qualifications as a "psychologist in training," but also suitability for work in a position of public trust. In general, Bureau employees, including psychology interns, are held to a high standard of personal conduct and responsibility and are expected to be law-abiding citizens who can serve as strong role models for the inmate population. During the selection process, applicants must satisfactorily pass a security clearance procedure that includes an interview, a background investigation, and a drug test. If you are applying to more than one internship site, you may only have to complete this process once. Results of the security clearance procedures can be shared with other Bureau sites for your convenience.
Internship Application Procedures
Individuals interested in a psychology internship position at any of the Bureau's training sites should complete each of the following steps:
1. Complete and upload the AAPI Online application for Psychology Internship available on the APPIC website. Be sure to include all components, including a copy of your vitae, graduate transcripts, and three letters of reference.
2. Upload one work sample. This should be an assessment report on an adult client that addresses, at a minimum, background information, current behavioral observations, results of a battery of psychological tests, and formulation of the case. Choose this case carefully and take appropriate steps to protect the anonymity of the subject. Some training sites may require more than one work sample.
Each Bureau training site considers and ranks application materials separately. Therefore, all application materials should be uploaded for each site in which you are interested by their deadline. Applicants are encouraged to submit materials as early as possible. Late applications will not be considered. A limited number of applicants will be invited for interviews, which are generally conducted in December and January. All candidates (those being asked to interview and those not under serious consideration) will be notified of their status by December 15.
Additional Security Clearance Application Procedures
Candidates invited for an interview with training site psychology staff will also be required to participate in a standard law enforcement pre-employment screening procedure. As noted, this process may only need to be completed once as results can be shared with other Bureau internship sites for your convenience. To facilitate this process, personnel staff may be in contact with applicants prior to the interview to gather specific information needed to complete criminal record and credit checks. Onsite personnel procedures include an integrity interview addressing issues of personal conduct and a panel interview in which you will be asked to respond to a number of scenarios that could arise in a correctional facility. These procedures are used to determine your qualifications for a position of public trust and are required of all applicants seeking employment with the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
If you have any questions as to whether you would qualify for a law enforcement position, you should seek further information from Bureau personnel specialists at any of the sites of interest to you, to determine the advisability of continuing with the application process. Psychology staff are not able to advise you on these matters.
Any questions you may have should be resolved prior to submitting your list for matching. Offers of internship positions resulting from the computer match are strictly contingent upon satisfactory completion of the background investigation process. For individuals selected through the matching process, a field investigation will follow to verify that the information provided in interviews and on required forms is accurate. Failure to complete this process or a finding that an applicant is outside the guidelines for employment in a sensitive position would preclude participation in the program. Once hired, interns must comply with the Bureau's Program Statement on Standards of Employee Conduct and Responsibility.
The foregoing is not intended to discourage applications, but to ensure that applicants are aware of the additional law enforcement requirements that will be imposed on them should they wish to pursue a Bureau of Prisons Internship position.

Jacaszek, the ambient project of Polish composer Michal Jacaszek, will be one of the many experimental musicians making the trek across the ocean to play Unsound Festival New York, the American offshoot of the cutting-edge Polish festival of the same name. Now in its third year, the festival will take place from Wednesday, April 18, through Sunday, April 22, at venues across New York and aims to combine the best in contemporary classical music with the divergent worlds of avant-garde electronica, post-industrial noise and even death metal.
In addition to playing Unsound, Jacaszek recently released a meditative and haunting video for the composition "Dare Gale" from his album Glimmer, which dropped back in November 2011 via Ghostly International. Directed by Portuguese filmmaker Pedro Maia, the clip uses Super 8 film footage shot by Maia and Jacaszek as a starting off point to experiment with light manipulation and superimposing images on top of one another, creating a shimmering tapestry of patterns that fits the rumbling, ever-shifting music. Think Stan Brakhage bathed in spooky mysticism.
You can expect similar eerie atmospherics at Unsound. Scheduled acts for the festival include the enigmatic hip-hop due Hype Williams, Norwegian digimetal band KILLL, cult horror samplers Demdike Stare and SoCal psych-trance specialist Sun Araw. The event will also feature the debut of a special collaborative piece commissioned by the festival from ambient innovators Biosphere and Lustmord.
But that's only scratching the surface, as the event spans five days and takes place across the city with shows at a variety of venues including BAMcinématek, the Bunker, the David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center, ISSUE Project Room and Le Poisson Rouge. Further acts will be announced in the next month, with venue and ticket information coming soon as well.

60-year-old Nirmaljit Singh Narula, also known as Nirmal Baba to his followers, gives people advice, claiming to be able to access private info on whoever comes to see him, through spiritual means.
As complaints of fraud piled up, authorities have ceased broadcasts of the guru's show, The Third Eye of Nirmal Baba. The guru's business amasses a yearly £25 million ($40 million) in proceeds from the show and public appearances, The Independent reports.
During meetings with his congregation or "samaagams," as much as 3000 followers pay 2,000 rupees ($38) each, for the opportunity to receive insight into their future from the guru himself. Some travel 26 hours by train to get to the meetings.
Nirmal Baba claims to be against the traditional hindu custom of prescribing "mantras or tantras" for any possible issue. Instead, he gives the man and women that come to see him advice he relays as being of a holy nature.
"I didn't give medicine. It's a blessing. People are getting the blessing," he says.
The man claims he can perform x-rays without the help of technology, and that he can figure out what is wrong in people's lives even from afar, while they are speaking on the phone.
Sandeep Chandok is one of the guru's avid supporters. He is currently working in the corporate sector, and met Nirmal Baba seven years ago, when he was out of work.
Asking what he could do to turn his life around, the guru asked him if he owned a red credit card, claiming the existence of the card in his home was the source of all his problems.
He didn't, in fact, own one, but managed to find one among his sister's belongings. He threw it away and, soon after, became employed. As a result, his faith in the guru's teachings is now unshakable.
Many have complained that his teachings have not led them to their desired path, accusing the self-proclaimed guru of fraud.
Surendra Vishwakarma was promised that, if she put 2,000 rupees inside a black purse and kept it around the house, her and her family's health and finances would improve. The following year, her father developed diabetes, hence their finances worsened.
Officials believe he offers "absurd or illogical solutions" and are trying to stop his show from being broadcast on privately owned networks.
"Our country was perceived as the land of the sadhus and saints since time immemorial…Though we have come a long way…the mystical sadhus and the god-men have not left the picture, the difference may be that some of the sadhus travel by a private jet and have a turnover worth [tens of millions.]" Annie Joseph, secretary general of the National Broadcasters' Association, says.

Review of Wet n Wild Natural Wear 100% Natural Pressed Powder
Reader Review of the Day: Wet 'n' Wild Natural Wear 100% Natural Pressed Powder
Like us on Facebook
I haven't tried a Wet 'n' Wild product in years. And given the price of many cosmetics are these days, why not? I really liked this. It's got a nice medium/sheer coverage that feels silky. I was most impressed with the shades as they offer different tones (warm vs. cool). I took off a star because it doesn't last that long and also because I didn't notice any "light diffusing." It's actually quite matte. I appreciate the eco-friendly packaging, but would be afraid if the cardboard ever got exposed to moisture.

By Stephen Palmquist (email@example.com)
Before explaining why he supports democracy, Edward Dobson admits what all too few Christians understand, that "the truly biblical political system is a theocracy" [D3:12]. The present book has been devoted to a thoroughgoing examination of just what this implies for a Christian's (or any theocrat's) attitude towards not only democracy, but the world of politics in general. It is, however, primarily the verbal explanation of a vision, and only secondarily (mainly in the footnotes) a study of how that vision relates to various scholarly views on Christianity and politics. As such, it makes no claim to be a thoroughgoing study of political philosophy or theology, nor even of the narrower subject of theocracy (as it is commonly understood). Most of the relatively few books that include "theocracy" in their title are rather dry historical and/or exegetical studies that would be unlikely to stir the interest of the average reader.[1] Many of them end up saying very little about what theocracy actually is, and those that do nearly always assume a meaning radically different from the one proposed here [see above, pp.42-43n]. This is mainly because theocracy originated as a Jewish concept, and its political implications have never been fully incorporated into the mainstream of Christian political thought in the West.
One major exception to the neglect of theocracy in modern scholarship on religion and politics is Gershon Weiler's recent book, Jewish Theocracy [W1]. His contribution is so significant, and his goals and conclusions so different from those of the present book, that a separate account of and response to his work is necessary. In this first Appendix I will therefore focus almost entirely on his incisive study, paying special attention to how his account of Jewish theocracy differs from the proposals I have suggested for the proper interpretation of biblical theocracy. It is worth mentioning at the outset that I am no expert on Jewish history or religion; so I am here relying entirely on Weiler's word as a scholar assessing and critiquing his own tradition. The point of greatest interest for Christians is that Weiler's study demonstrates how thoroughly the concept of theocracy is rooted in what Christians call the Old Testament, though, as we shall see, the New Testament requires a radical revision in the way theocracy is to be implemented.
Weiler begins with an historical survey of the major Jewish writers who discussed the concept of theocracy in a philosophical way. The first known reference to theocracy appears in Josephus' book, Contra Apionem, written near the end of the first century A.D. In a passage that uses a line of reasoning not unlike the one I have used in Part One, Josephus assesses Moses' approach to leadership in terms of Aristotle's system of terminological distinctions [W1:9]. Unfortunately, Josephus probably did not believe this truly theocratic leadership was what it claimed to be; and Weiler explicitly does not, for he maintains "that Moses frightened the Jews with tales of God's extraordinary power" [10]. Nevertheless, Weiler shows the depth of his understanding of what theocracy is meant to be by explaining that Josephus offers "a non-political interpretation of a concept that was originally political."[2] Although Josephus regarded theocracy as necessarily hierarchical (thus indicating that his "theocracy" is actually a form of ecclesiocracy) [14-15], Weiler rightly recognizes two possibilities [15]: "We can anchor the concept of theocracy either in God or in the administrators." This, he explains, is essentially a choice "between order and piety" [16].
One of the main purposes of Weiler's study is to demonstrate that Jewish theocracy was, is, and can be interpreted only in terms of the search for hierarchical order.[3] The pietist interpretation given in 1877 by the Christian scholar J.G. Mueller [W1:16] must be rejected, because it "rests on both historical and institutional confusion" [17]. Just as we have seen that a true theocracy would look very much like anarchy [see above, pp.45-46], so also Mueller recognized that "a permanent form of human government and theocracy are incompatible with each other" [W1:18]. In addition, however, we have seen that, prior to the full realization of the kingdom of God on earth, theocracy can coexist with any transitory system of human government. The depth of the historical recognition on the part of the Jewish people of the need to "coexist" in this way is the prime factor responsible for the centuries of exile they have endured. A full-fledged ecclesiocracy, by contrast, would seek to give the human religious hierarchy absolute control over the political power of a state-a position Weiler shows has (until recently) been firmly rejected by orthodox Judaism.
Weiler's rejection of the "pietist" (i.e., true!) meaning of theocracy in favor of the "hierarchical" meaning (which often leads to ecclesiocracy) is not so much an outright rejection of theocracy, as an insistence that Jewish theocracy can be properly understood only in the latter way. As a result, he assumes, for example, that in a theocratic institution it would be "subversive" to ask "whether it is or is not doing God's will" [W1:20]: "The institution thus becomes more important than God." Such a theocracy must be "authoritarian", because "it is very unlikely that inspiration, the same inspiration, will come to everyone" [20]. The correctness of Weiler's argument as an assessment of the historical situation of his own people is not the topic of this Appendix. The point I wish to stress is that, in rejecting the historical manifestation of Jewish "theocracy" as an "absurd" phenomenon [83,308], he is not rejecting true theocracy. For, as we have seen, the biblical theocrat places hope in precisely the unlikelihood that gives rise to authoritarianism only in those without such hope: namely, the hope that God will inspire those who in true piety submit first and foremost to him, rather than to some human institution, trusting that even those differences we cannot resolve are ultimately part of one consistent, divine plan.
By rejecting this hope and placing all the emphasis on a human hierarchical structure, Weiler's discussion of theocracy (and, if we are to accept his interpretation, the whole history of Jewish "theocracy") ends up being a far cry from the biblical model. As long as the hierarchy of Jewish religious leaders stayed well out of the political realm, their religion would be neither theocratic nor fully ecclesiocratic, but separatist, and therefore largely irrelevant to the concerns of the present book. But since 1949 the political situation in Israel has been complicated by the desire of some orthodox rabbis to set up Judaism's traditional, hierarchically-oriented religious law (called the halakha) as the political law of the state of Israel. And when this happens, we can be sure that ecclesiocracy is on the way.
Once it is recognized that nearly everything Weiler says about the dangers of Jewish theocracy is actually directed against the dangers of Jewish ecclesiocracy, we can find ourselves agreeing with a large portion of his critique. Thus, he identifies "Jewish theocracy" at the very outset with an unworkable concept of "clerical dictatorship" [W1:x], so we can agree with his further claim [xi] that, as such, "Jewish theocracy is both impracticable and harmful." Likewise, he is certainly right to proclaim in W1:22: "Zionism is the rejection of the Judaism of Josephus and ... the victory of Zionism is the defeat of Judaism qua theocracy [read: ecclesiocracy]." Unfortunately, Weiler is not merely rejecting an admittedly false attempt to establish the worst and most dangerous of all political systems; for as we shall see, he also openly places his faith in human politics over and above any faith he might have in God and/or religion.
From a scholarly point of view, Weiler's book is nevertheless invaluable. For he carefully traces the development of Jewish thinking on theocracy from its origins in Josephus [W1:3-23] and (implicitly) Philo [24-42], through the more fully developed systems of Maimonides [43-68] and Abravanel [69-85], to the scathing critique of Spinoza [86-110]. Weiler regards Abravanel (1437-1508) as unsurpassed in his explanation and defense of theocracy [69]. And, although it succumbs to a special Jewish form of bibliocracy [see 77-78] to be examined shortly, some aspects of his view are remarkably consistent with the vision of biblical theocracy presented in this book-all the more remarkable because he obviously made no appeal to the New Testament. For example, Abravanel insisted that the Jews have no need of a political system as such, so they should neither participate in any armed rebellion, nor resort to any other political means to usher in the Messianic Age; their political fate is to be determined by God alone [79-83]. One of the main differences is that he regarded theocracy as a viable option only for the Jews: the Gentiles, not being chosen and set apart by God, "do need some [non-theocratic] political organization" [78].
Weiler appeals to Spinoza in order to back up his conviction [W1:83] that "Abravanel's thinking qua political theory is absurd beyond hope." He affirms Spinoza's view, that Jewish theocracy leads inevitably to a "political emasculation of minds" [85]. His explanation of Spinoza's critique reveals, however, that such a fate befalls the members of such a so-called "theocracy" only because it is in truth a form of ecclesiocracy. For Spinoza based his critique on the assumption that God can reign only "through temporal rulers" [97, quoting Tractatus, 245]; and Weiler astutely adds that, "as soon as a visible organ of government is set up, even on behalf of God, it immediately supersedes the rule of God whom that organ claims to represent." And this would undoubtedly take place if the organ were Jewish, because the "one and only one unchangeable article of faith or principle of action" in the Judaism of the past two thousand years [90] "is that all authority is vested in those who are authorized to exercise it." The claim that a religion based on such an authoritarian attitude (whether or not it obtains any real political power) has a highly detrimental effect on the minds of those under its "care" is fully consistent with biblical theocracy, provided we distinguish carefully between the latter and ecclesiocracy. The defect in the views of Weiler and Spinoza comes only in their failure to recognize the possibility of a non-authoritarian version of theocracy-the version I believe the Bible itself actually supports.[4]

Several Microsoft executives have already stated that it was only a matter of time before everyone got used to Windows 8 and now it's the turn of a Vizio official to say the same thing.
Vizio is one of the companies that's betting big on Windows 8, with several tablets and laptops running Microsoft's latest operating system now in the pipeline.
Rob Kermode, Vizio's director of product and development for computing and mobility, told LaptopMag that it takes some time for all users to discover Windows 8 but, in the end, the new software will succeed.
"It's a brand-new market for us. Windows 8 is a dramatically different user experience, and it takes time for people to learn about it. Microsoft, I think in hindsight, would probably admit that it could've done a better job of introducing it. But all in all, we're putting touch on every single one of our products. So we're definitely all in on Windows 8," he said.
As usual, Microsoft doesn't comment on such statements and prefers to remain tight-lipped on Windows 8 sales, even though so many people are criticizing the new OS.

- dramatic monologue - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up)
A poem written in the form of a speech of an individual character to an imaginary audience of one or more people is known as a dramatic monologue. Such a poem compresses into a single vivid scene a narrative sense of the speaker's history and psychological insight into his character. Although the form is chiefly associated with Robert Browning, who raised it to a highly sophisticated level in such poems as My Last Duchess, The Bishop Orders His Tomb at St. Praxed's Church, Fra Lippo Lippi, and Andrea del Sarto, it is actually much older. Many Old English poems are dramatic monologues-for instance, The Wanderer and The Seafarer. The form is also common in folk ballads, a tradition that Robert Burns imitated with broad satiric effect in Holy Willie's Prayer.

Vehicles with J.D. Power Quality Ratings
A Rubicon Hard Rock edition improves the 2015 Jeep Wrangler's off-road capability. There's also a 31-inch tire package available for Sport models, and all Wranglers get a standard Torx tool kit to remove the roof. The new 8-speaker audio system can be upgraded to a new 9-speaker Alpine audio system.
Changes for the 2014 Jeep Wrangler include a Freedom Edition and a Rubicon X special edition for even more adventuresome off-roading, plus the retro-looking Willys Wheeler Edition inspired by World War II-era Jeeps. A Trail Kit includes a tow strap, D-rings, gloves and a carrying bag, and the Sport is available with 32-inch tires.
There are few vehicles that have remained as faithful to their origins like the 2015 Jeep Wrangler SUV. Despite decades of development, multiple iterations and even necessary nods to modern technology, the Wrangler remains true to its hard-earned and thoroughly deserved reputation as the universal standard for off-road vehicles. There's something here for anybody who wants off-road utility, from the simple and inexpensive 2-door Sport with a soft top, to the go-anywhere Rubicon. The longer Wrangler Rubicon SUV offers four doors and a more usable back seat, but it does it all with the same off-road prowess as the original. All come with Chrysler's excellent Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 engine. Competition? Maybe the Toyota 4Runner or Nissan XTerra, but neither SUV has the Jeep Wrangler's off-road chops.

This iReport is part of an assignment:
Visited all 50 states?
I have been to all 50 States!
- SaraKhanCNN, CNN iReport producer
Then, as an adult I got a job that involved a lot of business travel. I racked up the states quickly, then got "stuck" at 45. I lacked Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana and South Carolina. I moved to a different job and was no longer traveling on a company expense account. Bummer.
I waited a few years to visit those last remaining 5 states in the normal course of travel, but that didn't happen. It's not like you can drive through Hawaii on your way to somewhere else. I decided I had to be proactive.
First, I signed up for a cruise to Alaska. We flew to Juneau (check!), got on the ship and had a great time. The next year my husband turned 60 and told me that visiting Pearl Harbor has always been a bucket list item for him. Ha! I got tickets for Honolulu, reservations in Waikiki and off we went to Hawaii (check!).
In the meantime, we visited relatives in South Dakota, went to Mount Rushmore, and did a quick border run to Montana (check!). I don't really like border runs as I prefer to visit a state in a bit more depth, but since Idaho was still on my unvisited list, I figured I'd see more of Montana later.
In 2011 we went to Charleston, South Carolina (check!) and had a great time touring that beautiful and historic Southern city. We drove over to Greenville, via Columbia, and spent some time with a woman we knew in college. It was a great visit and we had a wonderful time. After South Carolina, we went to North Carolina, had dinner with a cousin I had not seen in years and visited a state that I had previously visited only by means of an airplane change at Raleigh-Durham. Now I was able to say I had visited North Carolina properly, as we went to Greensboro, Raleigh, Asheville and points between.
Now, I had only one unvisited state left: Idaho.
I have no particular reason to visit Idaho. No relatives, no long-lost college chums, no business contacts, no cruise destination, no historic battle scenes. I heard about a nice place near Lake Pend Oreille called Sandpoint, and reserved a hotel right on the lake. We flew to Spokane, rented a car and drove east. On May 19, 2012, we crossed the border into Idaho and I got my 50th state!
And, yes, we did drive into Montana and spent a day enjoying the beautiful mountains, lakes and rivers of Western Montana.
Some people think that state-counting is crazy. I don't. It has got me out of my house and given me a motivation to see places I've never seen and do things I've never done. I've also counted visited nations (40) and last year made it to my last unvisited German state Saarland.
What do you think of this story?

Ok, now then, I'm 1lb away from my 2.5 stone award, I have been on track 110%so far this week-BUT, I'm out for dinner tomorrow AND Saturday!
Tomorrow is a work do, a joint maternity leave and leaving do for 2 of my colleagues. Now I have already decided that I am going to have a night off plan, as I'm with my work mates, and going to Bella Italia, and I know that if I don't have what I fancy, I will end up being really bad, so I've gone for pizza with duck and hoisin sauce. And as I haven't had a proper pudding for months, I'm going to indulge with a cookie dough lava cake! (And I'll enjoy every mouth full!). I don't drink, so will be on diet coke. I have the rest of my day planned and will only have used 0.5 syn all day.
Saturday night my neighbours are taking my mum and I out for dinner as it's her 70th birthday. Now I know I will be good with my main course and either have salmon, gammon or steak and have a low syn meal. I may have a pudding though, and there will be birthday cake!
So....... The question is.. Do you think I will get my 2.5 stone award on Monday?! I know it's not the end of the world if I have a gain, because if know that I have indulged, but It would be fab I can!!
