Amy Zavada, Ph.D. Chicago Campus
"The relationships that I build with my students are an
essential part of our learning process."
-Amy Zavada, Ph.D.
Amy Zavada, Ph.D., LMFT
Core Faculty, Couple and Family Therapy Department
One of my underlying goals as a professor is the growth and transformation of developing Couple and Family Therapists. As an educator, I engage students with course materials in a way that expands the totality of what is seen and aims to transform students' relationships with their own selves, others, and culture. As a therapist influenced by experiential family therapy, and person who believes in the power of reflecting on and integrating insights gained both through existing knowledge and new experiences, my lectures and course dialogues often focus on experiential elements that provide students with alternative ways to process and understand essential course material. My pedagogy of teaching emphasizes helping students build a strong theoretical foundation of core Couple and Family Therapy concepts while at the same time creating experiences that expand the totally of what is seen by enhancing self-discovery, critical reflection, and relational connection.
Inspired and influenced by Bell Hooks and Parker J. Palmer's work on social justice, teaching, pedagogy, and communities of learning, I work to foster environments where students can be both cared for and challenged. I value and nurture critical analysis of course material, relational connection, and transformative dialogues. I encourage students to clarify and voice their own beliefs, while at the same time continually increasing personal awareness regarding cultural and personal factors influencing the formation their beliefs and maintaining what Hooks refers to "radical openness".
This openness is characterized as both listening to and working to understand the beliefs of others with a willingness to be impacted and transformed by information shared. These dialogues are aimed not only to increase knowledge regarding course material but are essential moments of relational engagement and learning that prepare students to be more effective with their use of self in the therapy room.
The relationships that I build with my students are an essential part of our learning process. While I am often expressive with my respect and commitment to the growth of my students and create context of caring to sustain this growth, I am clear and consistent with both my expectations regarding student conduct and academic progress in the course. Reading materials, course assignments, and activities as well as a grading rubric are discussed on the first day of class and clearly outlined in my syllabi. I provide written and verbal feedback that accentuates their strengths, and highlights areas of growth with constructive critiques delineating steps that they can take to improve. Additionally I provide students chances throughout the semester to provide both me and their fellow classmates with feedback in order to improve the course and their learning experience. While I provide students with clear and timely evaluations, I also encourage students to reflect on their own process of growth throughout the semester, explore how material is impacting them and will impact them after the end of our course, and identify for themselves areas of needed growth.

The Twins say their first priority is keeping Johan Santana, but considering he already rejected an $80 million package. Another thing to keep in mind is the Twins don't have to trade him.
If they aren't bowled over, they could hang on to him and see if the price increases during the season before the trade deadline.

A Michigan man who tried to be a real-life Batman has been ordered to hang-up his tights and mask for six months.
Mark Wayne Williams, known as the Petoskey Batman to his fans, was arrested in May when Petoskey, Mich., police found him dangling from a roof dressed in a Caped Crusader's costume, the Huffington Post reported.
Williams, 32, was charged with trespassing and carrying dangerous weapons after officers said he was found with a baton, a canister of a chemical irritant spray and lead-lined gloves.
As part of a deal with prosecutors, Williams pleaded guilty last month to one count of resisting and obstructing an officer.
He was sentenced Monday to six months probation, during which time he's banned from dressing up as Batman.

Topic: Question
My husband was diagnosed last December with ICC. He chose to not have treatment based on his experience with his father's pancreatic cancer a few years ago. It was his choice and I fully support his decision. He has done well for the past couple of months. We do have hospice coming in once a week to help with pain meds and his biliary drain. My question is that he seems to be very tired all of the sudden. He slept nearly 24 hours a day for 3 days straight. Last night he was up all night and was out watering the yard at 3:00 am and throwing trash away. These are chores he has not done in months because he cannot do much lifting due to the external drain. He seems to be somewhat confused. Has anyone else had experience like this? I am worried about him.

For die-hard Apple fans, Wednesday served as a Christmas of sorts as Apple released the latest version of their mobile operating system, iOS 7, to the public.
Executives at Apple are calling the new version a total refresh. They've completely overhauled the look of the user interface, adding some major and subtle features while also taking others away.
Tech reviews say the refresh was necessary in order for the company to stay competitive.
CEO Tim Cook and others took the stage at Apple's Cupertino headquarters last week to announce new hardware to go along with the Wedensday's software update.
While some iPhone and iPad users take the time to research the feature changes and additions that come with a software update, many of the new features are hidden to most until they stumble over them or are introduced to them by someone else.
Below you'll find a list of some of the changes and features Apple has released, along with quick instructions on how they work.
1) Control Center
How to get to it: Swipe upwards from the bottom of the screen.
Think of control center as a one-stop-shop for the common settings and utilities that are often used. Control Center gives you toggles for wifi, Bluetooth, and orientation lock to name a few. Also, you'll options for screen brightness, music controls, and shortcuts to the calculator, camera, and even a flashlight.
2) Spotlight
How to get to it: Swipe downward from the middle of the home screen
Spotlight allows you to search for anything that's on your iPhone/iPad from contacts and calendar events, to music and apps. In previous versions of iOS, you'd access it with a swipe to the right from the home screen.
3) Notification Center
How to get to it: Swipe downward from the top of the screen
Not a new feature, but one that's been overhauled. Along with weather and stocks, notification center now gives you a summary of your day along with a brief summary of tomorrow. It'll even tell you how long it'll take to get to your next appointment. Gone are the options to post to Facebook and Twitter
4) New Camera Options
How to get to it: Open the camera app
You can now change shooting modes by swiping through camera modes: video, photo, square, and panaormic. Also, the circles in the bottom right corner allow you to add Instagram-like filters to your pictures.
5) Auto-update Apps
How to get to it: Go to settings > iTunes & App Store > Then toggle the switch that says "Updates" to make sure it's green.
Gone are the days of opening the app store just to update your apps. Now they'll update if the background if you enable this feature.
6) New system Sounds
How to get to it: Go to settings > sounds
Apple has loaded an updated sound library throughout the operating system. There's even a new sound when you plug-in the device to charge. Be sure to make sure you like the new defaults. I almost didn't wake up on time when I found my alarm sound had changed from what I was accustomed to.
7) Photos App
How to get to it: Open the Photos app
Here you'll find Apple has designed the app to sort pictures into moments, collections, and even sort by year. Even in "year" view, you can scrub through the photos by holding your finger down on a photo and sliding around seeing a larger preview of each photo.
8) Airdrop
How to get to it: Found in the "Share" menu for photos, contacts, and other apps
A cool feature designed to rival Bump and other NFC sharing options, it also eliminates the need to send messages/emails to people nearby. Airdrop will let you share photos and other info to people nearby (within 30 feet). The feature uses a combo of Bluetooth and WiFi to share info with the need to compose a message.
9) Siri Updates
How to get to it: Hold the home button until you hear the beep
Siri has gotten smarter. Along with finding nearby restaurants and sports scores, Siri will now perform Bing searches, access Wikipedia, and even tweet for you. They've also added a male voice for those who weren't satisfied by the female version. You can toggle that option in the device settings.
10) iTunes Radio
How to get to it: Open Music App > You'll see a new radio icon in the bottom left-hand corner
Similar to streaming music services Pandora/Spotify, iTunes Radio allows you to music over the Internet. You can create stations that play music similar to an artist you like or separated by genre. You can also choose from other preset stations recommended by Apple. It's a nice way to explore music and listen to more than what's in your library. If you find a song you like, you have the option to purchase it from iTunes.
That's a list of the 10 features I found most interesting. There are others like call blocking and updates to Find My iPhone which could definitely prove useful.
If you see find any new features I haven't mentioned or have some other questions, feel free to send me a message on Twitter @216Brandon on comment in this story.
You can download the latest software using iTunes or selecting Software Update form the General tab in Settings.

Richards, Angels can't pin down pesky Orioles
Right-hander yields four runs, including tone-setting blast in first
BALTIMORE -- Thirteen days into a second half that has seen the bats cool down and the winning percentage plateau, the Angels can be thankful for one thing: At least the Orioles aren't in their division.
The Angels have lost two series since the middle of June, and both have come against Baltimore's first-place club over the last nine days. They dropped two of three against the Orioles at Angel Stadium early last week and suffered their second straight defeat at Camden Yards, 4-3, on Wednesday night, while moving to 1-4 against Buck Showalter's crew.
All five games have been decided by fewer than three runs.
"It's a good club," losing pitcher Garrett Richards said of the Orioles. "Do I think they're as good as us? We've got one of the best clubs in baseball. We're going to be there in the end, and we're not worried about anybody else."
The Angels are still only 2 1/2 games out in the American League West, and they still hold a comfortable cushion for the second-best record in the Majors -- they lead the third-place Yankees and Mariners by three games -- despite splitting their first 12 games since the All-Star break.
But the pitching staff has very little margin for error these days, because the Halos' offense hasn't produced at the elite level it's capable of.
The Angels finished the first half averaging a Major League-best 5.06 runs per game while sporting a .267/.334/.427 slash line. They've begun the second half by hitting .224/.284/.333 with an average of 3.25 runs. On Tuesday, the Orioles' bullpen shut them out for 5 1/3 innings to set up Manny Machado's 12th-inning walk-off homer. On Wednesday, the electric Kevin Gausman retired the first 14 in order and his bullpen retired six of the last seven to preserve a one-run lead.
"You always want to keep it going," said Mike Trout, batting .147 with 13 strikeouts over his last nine games. "It's all about getting your timing back. We were all swinging it before the break. We're just battling right now, hitting some balls hard right at people. Things will turn around."
Richards had his second straight good-but-not-great outing, giving up four earned runs in back-to-back starts for the first time since April 25-30, 2013.
The 26-year-old right-hander completed seven innings and didn't issue a walk, while keeping his ERA at 2.74. But Adam Jones jumped on a first-pitch fastball and hit a two-run shot to dead center field in the first, representing his fourth home run against the Angels this season. And in the fourth, a couple of left-handed hitters, David Lough and Ryan Flaherty, burned Richards with opposite-field hits that plated runs.
"They were still good pitches," Richards said. "I had good stuff. They had a couple timely hits, and it took us a while to get going."
That's because the Angels had never seen Gausman, and the 23-year-old right-hander has the kind of stuff you have to get a feel for. He attacked the Angels with a fastball that topped out at 99 mph, a devastating slider and two different changeups, one of which dove below the strike zone and looked like a split-finger fastball to a lot of the Angels hitters.
"Two good guys, two good-looking pitchers," Showalter said of the Gausman-Richards matchup. "You're trying to win a game, but you're also a fan of the game and you see two guys like that pitching, and you say, ['Wow']. I wouldn't say 'fun,' but it's entertaining to watch. It's not entertaining to hit."
The Angels finally got to Gausman with two outs in the fifth, when Howie Kendrick, C.J. Cron and David Freese all drew walks. Chris Iannetta singled up the middle with the count full and Kole Calhoun hit a double on the very next pitch to make it a one-run game.
But the offense did little else.
And in Thursday's series finale, they'll draw Bud Norris, who has given up two earned runs in 34 2/3 innings in his career against the Angels.
"We've seen him a bunch now," Trout said. "We're going to try to get a win."

Okay, First is there a way I can boot from my Macbook Pro natively without VMware. I have looked and looked for ways but none seem to work for me. I have a USB flash drive I use on my windows PC ideally I'd like to use that if somebody knows a way to boot it on my Mac. I can't seem to find the info online.
Secondly, If I manage some way to boot BackTrack 4 on my Mac. Is there a way I can save my WPA handshake to let aircrack-ng run on it. I like to go out and capture handshakes and let them run using JTR but it is soo slow on my netbook (like 100 keys a second). I'd like it to run on my MacBook Pro which is much faster!! Can I just save the handshakes and then transfer them to my Mac install of BackTrack 4? Since I run BackTrack 4 on my netbook via a USB drive boot how can I save the files?
Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

I've been known to make BLT sandwiches once a week all summer, while tomatoes are at their peak. The classic BLT is quick, simple and requires very little planning, shopping or cooking. My secret ingredients: mayo and crunchy peanut butter—mayo slathered on the top slice of bread and PB on the bottom. It's really hard to beat (honestly, go try it!), but I'm always on the lookout for new riffs on my favorite sandwich.
Chuck Hughes is one of my favorite new Cooking Channel chefs, so I was excited to try his Italian-style BLT Bruschetta. The recipe is intended as an appetizer for 6 and great for a crowd, but I scaled it back as a quick dinner for 2. Chuck's secret ingredients: goat cheese, basil and pancetta. (Slightly more sophisticated than peanut butter.) What I like about this recipe is how he tosses the tomatoes with salt, pepper, vinegar, shallot and herbs before piling them on the sandwich, making a flavor-packed tomato salad.
I'm not setting aside my mayo and PB for good, but this was definitely a tasty way to switch up my weekly BLT routine.
Do you have a secret BLT ingredient?

5 New Makeup Hues to Try for Fall
They may be timeless, but this season classics like the ponytail, the red lip, and even the French manicure seemed radically transformed. The result? A new look of modernity. Here, we collected the best standout moments from the New York, London, Milan, and Paris ready-to-wear shows. You can wait until next year to try them out. But with ideas that are this evolutionary, we suspect you will want to start wearing them now.
The latest interpretations of the ponytail were super sleek, super shiny, and always falling from the area below the nape of the neck. Even at Vera Wang, a higher ponytail received the newest styling, being coiled into a sculptural loop before threading through a headband and forming its length down the back.

Hey all...
First time poster. I have a client with 2 domain names...
Each domain name currently points to it's own server space, but you will notice that the 2 sites are actually exactly the same. The reason why they did this (many years ago) is they purchased HPAS.com for it's great organic listings. But the company's primary site (distributorsfirst.com) was already set up. Rather than just park or point HPAS.com to the company site, they decided to keep it entirely separate. Over time the two sites remained separate, but the content became the same.
Turns out this has worked. HPAS.com continues to generate great organic listings in Google, and DistributorsFirst.com is advertised via Adwords.
So here's the rub...
Now the client wants to transition to a Wordpress site. So we're moving to a new server (Hostgator), and need to consolidate. My thinking is to make HPAS.com the primary domain name, and park DistributorsFirst.com. But I'm not sure.
The company's actual name is Distributors First & all email is based of this domain name. As Wordpress requires a primary domain name, it would be nice for it to be DistributorsFirst.com. But I'm thinking if I set it up this way, and park HPAS.com as the secondary (or should I do a 301 redirect instead?) it will destroy my organic listings in Google.
Anyone have any suggestions / know what's best practice? Many many thanks in advance.
I'm sure that you know that SE's (Google, especially) penalize for identical content on different sites. Therefore:
Make the content SLIGHTLY different!
Use different domains (you've already got that).
Use different IP addresses (that'll reinforce the SE's belief that they are different domains).
Get a "serious" client as the above can be accomplished from the same database BUT you'll need to code the slight differences in the theme or after fetching the content from the database. Moreover, changing to a WP-based website means:
[indent]A. That you'll lose the ranking of your HPAS website (unless you're REALLY good at retaining URIs - or 301 redirecting all the important URIs) and
B. You MUST keep WP up to date as there are regular exploits against WP that, if you don't update immediately upon a patch release, your website will be insecure (and likely to be hacked).[/indent]
If the majority of the traffic comes from Google, then you should make hpas.com the primary domain.
Hi Bryan,
Welcome to SitePoint
You should ensure that all the page links that people use on HPAS.com domain are redirected to DistributorsFirst.com. There will surely be links on HPAS.com that don't match anything on DistributorsFirst.com so have any such page redirect to a site map on the new site.
The whole point of the search engine friendly 301 redirect (Moved Permanently) is to capture those well ranked position. As long as you plan out carefully how the links will be redirected you should see the traffic shift the way you want.
If you have access to the root Apache server then you can do a rewrite-map to explicitly map page to page. You can store the relationships in a database or a text file. Otherwise you will use the .htaccess with mod-rewrite enabled and perform each 301 redirect that you need.
You will keep the HPAS.com domain live for enough time for the search-bots to find and register the 301s.
Do you know why HPAS.com has great organic listings? If so make sure that the WordPress redesign captures the things that you are doing In HPAS.com. If you new WordPress site fails at generating the organic traffic then the traffic siphoning boost you get from HPAS.com will be short-lived.
I'd go with ServerStorm's advice for using 301 redirects. If the client has had success with 2 domains, imagine how well they will do when all the efforts go into one domain. I would guess that the one domain will eventually get more traffic then the two combined. Plus you won't have to worry about duplicate content.
Very much so. Best practice is to have only one version of the content out there - Google will eventually catch and penalize you if you have duplicate content.
If you alter the content slightly and get caught, you will get penalized more heavily.
So - best practice - 301 redirect.

Weakening Ohio's energy efficiency requirements is not a good option for the state's manufacturersComments Email Print
Now, five years after passing S.B. 221, legislation has been introduced by Sen. William Seitz, R-Cincinnati, in the Ohio Senate (SB 58) that would overhaul the current state policy pertaining to energy efficiency standards and advanced and renewable energy standards. A vote is expected by mid-November.
In our view, this action disproportionately favors the state's utilities while removing incentives to increase energy efficiency, which will impact manufacturers on several fronts.
Discerning the factsResearchers at Ohio State University have concluded that Ohio's renewable and energy efficiency standards have saved ratepayers 1.4% since the passage of SB 221 in 2008. Their study, in partnership with Ohio Advanced Energy Economy, also determined that the current attempts to weaken these 5-year-old standards will result in higher energy bills, fewer jobs and increased CO2 emissions over the coming decade.
The indicators don't lie. According to the study, SB 221 has positively impacted the state's energy efficiency and renewable portfolio from 2008-2012:
The study points out that increased investments in the energy sector stimulated Ohio's GDP by $160 million in 2012 and created more than 3,200 Ohio jobs in the period from 2008-2012.
Revising the law would impact the wallets of both consumers and manufacturers, according to the study.
"If SB 58 is enacted, the effect will be an electricity bill 3.9% higher than if SB 221 were left unchanged," the study states. "This translates into increases of $1.1 billion between 2014 and 2020, and $3.65 billion between 2014 and 2025, with average increases of $300 million."
The study concludes, "... the synergies created by the combination of energy efficiency and renewable energy, as well as the associated cost savings and employment generation, are having positive impacts on Ohio's economy and will continue to be beneficial in the medium to longer term."
SB 58 will affect manufacturersAccording to an executive overview of SB 58 recently compiled by the Ohio Manufacturers Association (OMA), the significant changes in the advanced energy and renewable standards "would . . . limit the development of advanced and renewable projects, which are diversifying the state's energy portfolio. Additionally, removing the in-state requirement would lower the value of renewable projects, such as solar arrays or wind generators, financed by manufacturers."
Ohio manufacturers would be affected on several fronts with the passage of this revised legislation:
Alternately, the current bill (SB 221) already is benefiting manufacturers.
The OMA recently released a cost-benefit analysis detailing the impact on the state's energy efficiency standards on manufacturers' electricity bills. "The analysis shows a price-suppression benefit for all types of manufacturing operations, large to small, that outweighs the cost of the utility riders that support the energy efficiency programs. That is, the energy efficiency programs are saving all manufacturers money on their electricity bills," according to the OMA report.
Our positionOhio manufacturers are taking an aggressive stand against SB 58.
In partnership with organizations such as the Ohio Manufacturers Association and the Ohio Advanced Energy Economy (a coalition for innovative, secure and affordable energy), and other manufacturing advocates nationwide, WIRE-Net is calling for Ohio legislators to act in a reasonable and responsible manner and strike down Sen. Seitz's efforts.
We agree with a growing list of industry advocates, mayors, city councils and editorial boards across the state that are publicly voicing their opposition to the bill.
An analysis of Sen. Seitz's bill by the Union of Concerned Scientists concluded, "Periodic review of any policy makes good sense. But such reviews need to be based on sound and transparent analysis from credible sources, not ideological attacks and disinformation from special interest groups funded by the very industry that stands to benefit from dismantling the policy.
The Ohio Manufacturers Association concurs.
"SB 58 represents an extensive rewrite of state energy policy that will have the effect of increasing electricity costs for Ohio manufacturers while over-compensating utilities, now and into the future," said OMA president Eric Burkland. "In its current form, the bill contains too many unjustified benefits for utilities and insufficient protections for manufacturers for whom energy costs are a major competitiveness issue."

As a member of a Goldman Sachs team, you'll have the chance to take on new challenges and new responsibilities early on in your career. Here's what our people have to say about the opportunities available to people just starting out at the firm:
"One hallmark of the Goldman Sachs culture is to entrust fairly junior professionals with a high degree of responsibility. It is absolutely true that opportunities are made available every day to individuals who are willing to stretch themselves."
—Kate, Vice President, Investment Management
"Six months after I joined the firm, I was given the opportunity to present on a project to a Managing Director who was visiting the Hong Kong office. Even though she had a very packed schedule, she spared time for a new analyst and expressed huge interest in my presentation."
—Andrew, Analyst, Operations
"I have been given the opportunity to regularly interact with business management—I haven't been restrained by my level or title. From the time I joined the firm, I have been respected for the opinions that I have contributed and I've stretched to perform above and beyond what was expected of me."
—Mary Liz, Analyst, Internal Audit
"All my managers, both direct and indirect, have been incredibly supportive in giving me the opportunities and challenges I need to progress. I started in GIR in the Clean Energy sector team, and I got to meet the CEOs and CFOs of companies very early on in my career. I attended marketing trips to meet clients based all over Europe and the US to discuss our views and the latest industry developments."

It's Saturday night and I'm sitting here watching The Bad Girls Club. I'm feeling all feisty right now! Lol. If you live in L.A. and listen to KDay…only one of the best radio stations EVER, then you've heard that dumb Lap Band commercial. I can't stand it!! It goes a little something like this…
Guy:"Wow Bridget, you look so skinny! I can't believe you ever weighed that much weight!"
Girl: "Oh thank you! See these two gallon jugs of water I'm holding? That's how much weight I lost!"
Guy: "What is your favorite thing to do now that you're skinny?"
Girl: "I get to go shopping at all the fun stores!"
Come on!!! Are you kidding me? I despise that commercial. Too bad all of us non-skinny people don't get to shop at fun stores! Ugggghhh!! Kiss my BIG OL' BOOTY Lab Band! You bite!
Thank you. I'm done.

G'day from 'downunder'.
We are another month away from our barbecue season here in Victoria, Australia and I have been reading your 'mouthwatering' recipes which I aim to try.
I purchased an American made "Grill2Go" portable barbecue/grill from one of our local hardware stores reduced from $400 down to $150. Unfortunately there was no 'manual/operating instructions' and I have been unsuccessful in obtaining them despite contacting the manufacturers in the USA - are these 'manuals' known under a different name or something?
Could anyone help me please.
This particular item is a gas bottle operated grill type with lid, using no coal or rocks so I would imagine that it will be much slower.
Our typical Aussie barbecue is usually gas bottle operated heating hot rocks over which there are both open and solid grills with no lids. Recent years have seen the introduction of lids which have the capacity of holding whole chickens keeping them hot whilst preparing other morsels.
You guys seem to do a lot of preparation work regarding smoking and the use of hickory chips (sounds scrumptious) and 'caging' style so I hope I can find some of your recipes which are appropriate to the Aussie style of barbecuing.
Best wishes to you all.

Well that's two in a row for Carine Roitfeld both in the sense of her dual management of Vogue Paris and Vogues Hommes International and the fact that the second VHI under her watch has turned out to be a sizzler.

The Florida Aquarium's eco-tour boat, the Bay Spirit II, encounters bottlenose dolphins almost every time it goes out (usually twice a day most days of the year). However, we know very little of the population of animals that inhabits the waters of upper Tampa Bay. One way to track them is through photo-identification of dorsal fins, unique to each animal. The Center for Conservation's Dolphin Photo ID Program aims to learn more about our resident dolphins and track the health and resilience of the Tampa Bay population. Our data are then shared with partner institutions to learn more about the home range and habitat use of dolphins throughout the Gulf Coast of Florida.
The Center for Conservation is seeking a Research Intern to conduct photo identification surveys of bottlenose dolphins aboard The Florida Aquarium's Ecotour Boat, The Bay Spirit II.

Composition Book Dress - Anthropologie
A daydream unfolding... I walk into anthropologie and say I will take one of each please. This dress I would walk out in with killer heels too of course, bags of all the clothes on each arm. And then when I got home I would collapse onto my forest canopy bed waking up the next day to find that it was all just a dream. *sigh*

All eyes on these UF freshmen
Published: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at 12:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at 11:59 p.m.
The Florida football team brought in nine early enrollees in January, and now it's time for them to show what they can do.
Spring football practice begins today and concludes with the Orange & Blue Debut on April 12, but eight practices are open to the public, including three this week:
Today: 3:35 p.m. (Sanders Football Practice Fields)
Friday: TBA (Sanders Fields)
Saturday: TBA (Sanders Fields)
Spring practices are under way this week, and the Gators will be counting on some of those freshman to contribute and create a role for themselves.
Two injured players who won't get that chance right away are running back Brandon Powell (foot) and offensive lineman Nolan Kelleher (back). Both will be out for at least the first half of practices, but with Florida's lack of depth at guard and its need for a change-of-pace back, they will have an opportunity to move up the depth chart once they're healthy.
Here are three more true freshmen to keep an eye on this spring.
1. Will Grier, quarterback:
There's a new No. 7 for the Gators at QB, and everyone will be watching him over the next few weeks. Grier comes to Gainesville with an impressive résumé for a recruit. He had a record-setting career in high school and added to his long list of accolades last week when he was presented the Maxwell Award for 2013 National High School Player of the Year. Fortunately for him, he won't have to be an instant star at UF barring another injury to Jeff Driskel, who has fully recovered from the broken leg he suffered last season. If Driskel can assume his starting role like the coaches expect, Grier will be able to learn behind him and compete for the backup job, which he's expected to eventually win over Skyler Mornhinweg. Grier had hoped to redshirt in his first year to develop and add weight to his 190-pound frame, but the transfer of Tyler Murphy may force him into action. And that's something Gator fans are anxious to see.
2. Jalen Tabor, cornerback:
Grier will likely be second string in 2014, but Tabor is definitely in line to crack the starting lineup. He is Florida's highest-ranked signee and was a standout during Under Armour All-America week. Tabor had five interceptions and 17 pass breakups as a senior and did not allow a reception during his junior season. He's a ball-hawking cover corner with the size UF coach Will Muschamp wants at the position. "A 6'1, 190-pound corner, that's what they're supposed to look like," he said of Tabor on signing day. His talent and measurables should give him an upper hand over Florida's other incoming defensive backs as the Gators try to replace starters Marcus Roberson, Loucheiz Purifoy and Jaylen Watkins. Tabor will wear No. 5 in honor of Joe Haden, who mentored him growing up in the D.C. area.
3. DeAndre Goolsby, tight end:
Florida's tight ends combined to catch just four passes last season after Jordan Reed hauled in 45 in 2012. The Gators have to get more production from the position this year, and Goolsby could be the one who provides it. Seniors Clay Burton and Tevin Westbrook, though experienced, aren't fit for a spread offense, but Goolsby is a 6-foot-4, 230-pounder with a lot of athleticism and pass-catching ability. He will need to learn the playbook and how to block like any freshman tight end, but his skill set is better suited for offensive coordinator Kurt Roper's system than that of the upperclassmen. Going through spring practice is going to give Goolsby a golden opportunity to set himself up for playing time in the fall. He is wearing jersey No. 30.

Emma Stone
After initially making a splash as Jules in the 2007 comedy hit Superbad, the American actress Emma Stone has become one of Hollywood's precious jewels as a result. Displaying the always welcome combination of cuteness and charisma, Emma Stone has taken her career to new highs with roles alongside Justin Timberlake and Milla Kunis in Friends with Benefits and as Peter Parker's 17-year old love interest in The Amazing Spider-Man -- a role soon to be reprised The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Attractive, talented and not in trouble with the law, Emma Stone is a hot commodity among young Hollywood actresses. Set to star alongside Colin Firth in Woody Allen's latest comedy, Magic in the Moonlight, there's no direction for Emma to go, but up!
AppealNow in her early 20s, Emma Stone is just starting to come into her own as a budding sex symbol. To date, she's already been singled out by AIM as one of the 50 Hottest Redheads; she has been included in both the 2009 Maxim Hot 100 and FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World lists; and, she has been featured by AskMen.com as one of its Top 99 Women for three years running. Don't let Emma Stone's long red locks fool you, however. She's not actually a redhead. Born blonde, Emma Stone can actually thank comedy maestro Judd Apatow for convincing her to go red for her role in Superbad. The new color stuck and Emma Stone's girl-next-door beauty has continued to thrive.
For someone who is in the same age group as other Hollywood troublemakers like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan -- to whom she bears a slight resemblance -- Emma Stone has a clean record (so far) when it comes to celebrity scandals. It might be due in part to her genuine love of films -- especially classic comedies -- but it's also because in her earlier years, she was less interested in partying and more interested in learning web design and developing her own PowerPoint projects. Coders and PowerPoint enthusiasts should back off, though. Emma Stone is the current squeeze of her The Amazing Spider-Man co-star, Andrew Garfield.
SuccessIn 2005, Emma Stone entered Hollywood as a high school dropout with an extensive theater background and an uncertain film career. Today, she stands tall as one of the industry's freshest faces with a sizzling movie career to boot. After bouncing around in TV efforts like The New Partridge Family, Malcolm in the Middle and Drive, she has found her true calling on the big screen by way of hits like Superbad, The House Bunny and Zombieland. When one considers her other efforts like Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and Easy A, Emma Stone's formidable roster of high-powered costars includes the likes of Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Woody Harrelson, Anna Faris, and, of course, McLovin'.
By her own admission, Emma Stone isn't an actress who lives by a specific set of ambitions or career blueprints. Though she would like to start producing films and possibly enter the screenwriting realm down the road, she listens to her instincts when making career decisions and responds accordingly. These days, her most important qualities in an on-screen character are honesty and independence with a little bit of comedic chops thrown in for extra oomph.
2014 was a huge year for Emma Stone as she displayed that she's not simple a skilled comedic actor -- she has dramatic acting chops as well. Stone swept up a pile of awards show noms for her role in Birdman and took on the lead role in Broadway's Cabaret to wide acclaim. Off-screen, she raises awareness for women's cancer. Because of her rising star and success in the most competitive industry, AskMen ranked her #27 on the rebranded list of Top 99 Outstanding Women in 2015. Call it a hunch, but we have a feeling her star is going to continue to rise in the coming years.
Emma Stone BiographyEmma Stone's ambitions as a performer took hold at an early age as she was known as a loud and talkative child who craved attention. Growing up, she regularly watched comedy movies like Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and National Lampoon's Animal House with her dad and gained an appreciation for the gifted female performers on TV's Saturday Night Live. At 11 years of age, Emma Stone was a student at Sequoya Elementary School, but she explored acting at the Valley Youth Theatre where she debuted on stage in The Wind in the Willows. Her association with the theater would grow stronger -- so much so that Emma Stone's parents homeschooled her so that she could act more regularly.
In addition to the numerous stage productions that she was participating in at Youth Valley, she also gained experience in comedy as a member of the theater's improv group. After reentering school for a semester at the Xavier College Prepatory, Emma Stone convinced her parents to let her drop out and move to Hollywood after she wowed them with her own PowerPoint presentation that featured a soundtrack by Madonna. At 15 years old, Emma Stone made the move with her mother in 2004 from Arizona to Los Angeles to see if an acting career could be had.
Emma Stone stars in Superbad and The House BunnyEmma Stone got her professional on-screen start in the ever-trendy realm of reality television -- specifically VH1's In Search of the New Partridge Family -- a show designed to cast an updated version of the classic TV series. Emma Stone was chosen to play Laurie Partridge, but the producers ultimately decided that The Partridge Family didn't need a makeover and the show never got past the pilot stage. Grateful for the opportunity, Emma Stone pressed on as a guest actress on shows like Malcolm in the Middle and Medium before landing a recurring role as the rebellious Violet Trimble in the 2007 auto race-themed FOX series, Drive. Unfortunately, the series didn't have staying power and also earned a swift cancellation.
Sensing that perhaps she might have better luck as a film actress, Emma Stone made the jump into feature films in the summer of 2007 with the plum role of Jonah Hill's love interest, Jules, in the Judd Apatow-produced and Seth Rogen-written comedy, Superbad. Not only did the film break records as the highest-grossing high school comedy of all-time, it also made McLovin' a household name and gave the now red-haired Emma Stone a fresh career start. After winning a Young Hollywood Award for Exciting New Face, she would follow Superbad up with a pair of films in 2008 -- the Rainn Wilson-led music comedy, The Rocker and the well-received The House Bunny, which had her cast as a virginal sorority president who forms a close bond with a Playboy bunny played by Anna Faris.
Emma Stone stars in Zombieland and Easy ANow a full-fledged working actress, Emma Stone continued to build her industry credibility. First, she took an amusing supporting role as Allison Vandermeersh, a ghostly figure who shows eternal bachelor Matthew McConaughey the errors of his past in the Dickensian comedy, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. In the fall of 2009, she switched to the horror-comedy genre to play Wichita, a con artist who joins Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg and Abigail Breslin as survivors in a world plagued by zombies. The film was Zombieland, which became a surprise hit and helped Emma Stone hit new career highs.
After a role alongside Ryan Reynolds and Lisa Kudrow in the indie film Paper Man, Emma Stone's next effort was as a student dogged by controversy in Easy A, a high school interpretation of The Scarlet Letter that also stars Amanda Bynes. Afterward, Emma Stone will lent her voice talents to the live action and animation hybrid, Marmaduke.
Emma Stone keeps it coming
After back-to-back appearances in the romantic comedies Friends with Benefits and Crazy, Stupid, Love., in which Stone starred alongside the likes of Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis, Steve Carell and Ryan Gosling, she continued to ramp up her box office glory by starring in The Help and The Amazing Spider-Man.
Stone took her acting range to another level with her role as a recovering addict in Birdman, which was released on October 17, 2014. She received numerous accolades, including nominations for the Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild Award and Critics' Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress.

The gulf between "Am I worth love?" and "I am worth love!"
To wrap up our blog series in honor of LGBTQ History Month, the Feminism blog welcomes Eric Stiles as a guest blogger. Thank you so much Eric for sharing your story of resiliency.
Growing up as a gay male in a rural community in Pennsylvania was not an easy task. Many times, I was taunted and bullied for being who I was. This happened even before I knew who I was. One day in particular sticks out in my mind. It was a warm fall day and my mother was picking me up from school. When I got in the car I turned to her and said,
"Can I ask you a question?"
My mother looked at me and said "Of course, what is it?"
"Mom what is a queer?"
As I asked this question the expression on her faced changed. I could not tell if she was angry or sad. I had never seen this look on her face before.
She thought for a second and asked "Where did you hear that word?"
Right away I felt as though I had said something wrong.
"Other kids are calling me it."
She took a breath in and her face softened and she leaned over and hugged me and said,
"Don't worry about what they say. It means someday someone will love you for who you are."
This simple exchange seeped into my conscience. I may have been 11 or 12 years. At the time I felt loved, that was all that was important to me. I knew the word I was being called was supposed to be bad. It wasn't one of the swear words I was not allowed to say, but I knew that the kids who were calling me it were bullies. My mother just diffused the word and gave me love. This conversation added a whole new level of resiliency that has served me well in life. For me, resiliency building is adding new layers of building blocks that I can return to, reshape, and rebuild with. They help me to bend but not break throughout life's challenges. My resiliency has been built by my own accomplishments, mistakes, and by others' support—even strangers. I know that I am worth love!
In our culture, all too often, the LGBTIQAH (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender/Two-Spirit, Intersex, Queer/Questioning, Allied and those affected by HIV) Communities are attacked in many ways and on many fronts. Attacks come from the cultures they grow up in, the churches they are raised in, and even the families they are born into. As we live through these attacks, the existential question "Am I worth love?" arises. With the loud voices of the world telling you that you are bad and abnormal, this question pushes at us. These messages parallel the "victim blaming" of sexual assault survivors, who may also feel that they are not worth love. What are we to do with this? How do we change the pain that our world causes?
We speak up. We take a stand. We offer support for members of these communities and help to build up their resiliency. It only takes a moment to share a kind word with someone. We can make it better. We are part of something greater.
Eric Stiles is the Rural Project Specialist at the National Sexual Violence Resource Center. His work involves addressingthe questions and training needs of rural communities as they increase their capacity to address child sexual abuse.

(AP) JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Republicans in at least four states want to abandon an expansion of Medicaid in President Barack Obama's health care overhaul, and more than a dozen other states are considering it in the wake of the Supreme Court decision removing the threat of federal penalties.
The high court upheld most of Obama's law, but the justices said the federal government could not take away states' existing federal Medicaid dollars if they refused to widen eligibility to include adults who are only slightly above the poverty line. Some Republican governors and lawmakers quickly declared that they would not carry out the expansion.
The states considering whether to withdraw from the expansion include presidential battlegrounds Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Colorado.
"One thing is clear, state legislatures will play a big role in the future of Obamacare," said Republican state Rep. Todd Richardson of Missouri.
Romney: Health care a boost for my campaign
Poll: Americans split on health care ruling
Where states stand on health care reform
For elected officials, the high court decision presented a stark choice: agree to accept an ambitious expansion of Medicaid or leave behind a vast pile of federal money that could provide health care to millions of poor constituents.
The law signed by Obama in 2010 was projected to provide coverage to more than 30 million Americans, reducing by more than half the number of uninsured people. Of those, about 17 million were supposed to be added to Medicaid, the joint federal and state health care program for the poor. The rest were to be covered by a strengthened and subsidized private insurance market.
The federal government agreed to pay the full tab for the Medicaid expansion when it begins in 2014. But after three years, states must pay a gradually increasing share that tops out at 10 percent of the cost. That may not sound like much, but it translates to a commitment of billions of dollars at a time when many local officials are still anxious about the slow economic recovery.
In Texas alone, where one quarter of the population is uninsured, the Medicaid expansion is projected to provide coverage to 2 million people in the first two years alone. Over a decade, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission estimates the expansion would cost the state an estimated $27 billion. Lawmakers will weigh their options when they return to work in 2013.
But other states aren't waiting to announce their intentions.
Mississippi, which is one of the poorest states in the nation and has more than 640,000 people on Medicaid, could cover an additional 400,000 people if it chose to expand Medicaid. But doing so would cost about $1.7 billion over 10 years and force deep cuts to education and transportation, state officials said.
"Mississippi taxpayers simply cannot afford that cost, so our state is not inclined to drastically expand Medicaid," Republican Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves said.
Republican Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman promised to block any effort to expand Medicaid, which he said would require tax increases or education cuts. And Indiana Senate President Pro Tem David Long, also a Republican, asserted that his state "will certainly" opt out of the Medicaid expansion.
The expansion was also quickly nixed by GOP legislative leaders in Missouri, where 255,000 of the state's roughly 835,000 uninsured residents stood to be added to the program. In 2005, Missouri slashed its Medicaid eligibility for parents to the lowest levels allowed by the federal government in order to help balance the budget. The expansion in Obama's health care law would restore coverage to those people and add many more. The cost: $2 billion annually, of which Missouri would pay about $100 million beginning in 2017, with its share rising above $150 million by 2019.
"The federal government always does this they put something out there that looks good on the front end, but on the back end the states have to figure out how to pay for this," said Missouri House Majority Leader Tim Jones, a Republican. "In this current economic time, we're not going to consider going down that path."
In states that reject the Medicaid expansion, some lower-income residents who work could find themselves in a coverage gap between the extremely poor and the middle class. The health care law offers tax breaks to offset the cost of private insurance purchased through new online marketplaces for those whose incomes are above the poverty level. But there are no breaks for many others who earn below the poverty level but still aren't considered poor enough to receive Medicaid. The law assumed they would be covered by an expanded Medicaid program.
Bunnie Gronborg, 64, of Festus, Mo., said she has two sons in their 30s who are single fathers who lost construction jobs and now lack health insurance. She had hoped they could be covered by the Medicaid expansion, and she doesn't buy the explanation that the state cannot afford it.
"There's absolutely no reason" to reject the expansion, "except being vindictive and playing political games with people's actual health care," Gronborg said.
Some states have already expanded Medicaid eligibility beyond the standard set in the federal health care law. Others are forging ahead with plans to do so after the Supreme Court ruling.

CLEVELAND, Texas - Four people have been arrested in connection with the sex assault of a girl in Cleveland, police said Thursday.
Investigators said that over the Thanksgiving holiday, a girl as young as 11 was assaulted by as many as 20 boys or men in an abandoned Liberty County home.
Some Cleveland High School students may have played a role in the sex assault, officials said.
A source close to the investigation told KPRC Local 2 Investigates that during a secret grand jury proceeding on Wednesday, the Liberty County District Attorney's Office presented cases on more suspects, so more charges could be coming.
The names of those arrested have not yet been released.
The girl was removed from school shortly after the rape allegation came to light. She is being taught outside a traditional classroom setting, school officials said.

Video evidence clearly shows Cark, a repeat offender, hitting a defenseless receiver in the head well after the play was over. Clark blatantly launched himself at Cruz, who was so badly disoriented thought he injured his ribs on the play.
Video evidence clearly shows Cark, a repeat offender, hitting a defenseless receiver in the head well after the play was over. Clark blatantly launched himself at Cruz, who was so badly disoriented thought he injured his ribs on the play.
Actually he should be reimbursed for being penalized on the play.
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...
Here We Go Steelers, Here We Go...!!!
AND WHY WON'T THE COMPETITION COMMITTEE MAKE PLAYS LIKE THIS REVIEWABLE ??? Phantom Pass interference calls and Phantom late hits and Phantom blows to the head penalties SEVERELY change the complexion of the game. How does this continue to be un-reviewable?
Even the timid announcers said it yesterday. The penalty for Pass interference, which is often a judgement call, is WAY too severe. You can incorectly get penalized 40, 50 60+ yards for an OUTSTANDING play by a DB such as Lewis last night. It's absurd. Either limit the number of yards for the penalty or make them reviewable.
The Officials should be fined for four blatantly bad calls that have the stench of Roger all over them!!!
#1. Keenan Lewis called for PI on Nicks. KL had perfect coverage, and has been huge reason the Steelers
secondary is playing so well.
#2. Ryan Clark called for Blow to the Head, when it clearly shows Shoulder to Ribs. A phony fricken call to
give the Giants a 1st and Goal.
#3. RB #35 Not crossing the plain of the GL, for a TD.
#4. Ben's incomplete pass ruled as a Fumble Return for TD. This was the WORST CALL EVER!!!!
I was yelling FIX!!!!!!! This game is FIXED!!!! What are we watching, the WWE????
BTW, Bill Levy (Head Referee) was the Referee in SB XL. Whom, about a year or so, said that
he was sorry to the Seahawk fans for "blowing" so many calls the game...What a Douche!!
Some how this team overcame the bad calls, the injuries, and found a way to WIN!!! Huge Win!!!!
The Steeeeelers are the best team in the AFC!!!!
The Pittsburgh Steelers: There is NO other Team!
The Polamalu INT being overturned in the Indy playoff game in 2005 is still the worst call ever...aside from maybe blowing the COIN TOSS in Detroit on Thanksgiving...but this has worked now its way in the discussion.
Ruthless 2017 Mock Draft:
1.30 ILB Zach Cunningham 6'3" 234 Vanderbilt
2.62 OLB Jordan Willis 6'4" 255 Kansas State
3.94 CB Sidney Jones 6'0" 186 Washington
3.105c DE Tanoh Kpassagnon 6'7" 289 Villanova
4.135 CB Rasul Douglas 6'2" 209 West Virginia
5.173 RB James Conner 6'1" 233 Pittsburgh
6.213 SS Lorenzo Jerome 5'10" 204 St. Francis
7.248 TE Michael Roberts 6'4" 270 Toledo
2015 MNF Executive Champion!
He will be fined but only the minimum.
Fined for what?
The ball was still in the air when he got hit
no, Ryan Clark won't be fined. if he does, it would be a travesty...
They should fine the refs for yesterday's game.
