The unifying theme and goal of psychology is the understanding of individual human behavior in the context of our social, cultural and physical environment. Thus, the subject matter of psychology is central to the goals of a liberal arts education.
With its historical roots in philosophy and physiology, psychology continues to be an inherently interdisciplinary field. Psychology includes the study of brain-behavior relationships and adheres to the scientific method in its emphasis on empirical research; thus, in both content and methodology, psychology is viewed as one of the natural sciences. Psychologists explore fundamental questions concerning human motivation and values and, in so doing, also have strong ties with the humanities. As social scientists, our investigations include but are not limited to the laboratory study of humans and other animals; systematic study of human behavior and interaction often occurs in the community, workplace and clinical settings.
Our curriculum includes courses that provide grounding in the basic theoretical approaches and research methodology of psychology as well as a variety of courses and seminars designed to meet more focused interests, especially in areas of applied psychology. Often cited as the most distinctive strength of our department is the "real life laboratory" available to students who wish to complete field research, gain practical experience and engage in internship programs at the Oregon State Hospital, Services for Children and Families, Hillcrest Youth Correctional Facility and many other human service agencies located in Salem. Comparable practicum and internship programs typically are available only at the graduate level of study. The department also has a newly renovated Biopsychology/Human Experimental Laboratory, including networked computers, for use in individual research projects.
The majority of psychology majors ultimately pursue advanced degrees in psychology or in professional schools (e.g., business, education, law, medicine, social work, and theology). Some graduates choose to work in entry-level positions in psychology and other human service fields before applying to graduate programs. Students who have successfully completed internships clearly improve their prospects for being hired in such positions. Students who have, in addition, gained experience in conducting research, either in conjunction with an internship or by writing a data-based thesis, have a considerable advantage when applying for Ph.D. programs in psychology.
Students interested in pursuing a major or minor in Psychology must complete PSYC 210, Introduction to Psychology, as their entry level course.

Organic, raw, earthy. These are the words local Cortez artist Ann Goodall uses to describe her contemporary cowgirl jewelry.
The artist will showcasing her silver pendants, leather cuffs and earrings all made to capture the "perfection of imperfection" at a reception in Mancos this week at the Goodnight Trail Gallery of Western Art.
Goodall returned to the art world three years ago after seeing the chunky beaded jewelry at the national ranch rodeo in Nevada inspired her to get back into art.
From the chunky necklaces, her work evolved to include high-quality turquoise and hand-molded silver clay pendants and beads. Molding the clay drew on her prior experience from college in Florida, where she had majored in art, mainly sculpting and painting.
After she moved to Colorado about 20 years ago, she left art to become a massage therapist. Now she lives on a ranch in the Cortez area with her family and the ranch life and style has become part of her identity.
"It kind of oozes into your pores," she said.
Goodall spent two years perfecting her jewelry and building clientele before she left massage therapy to pursue art fulltime.
She used Etsy, an online marketplace for handmade work, to both build her clientele and discover new ideas to try.
"Everything is in evolution," she said.
Through the Internet, she met a vendor interested in selling her work at reining and cutting competitions. She started to meet a demand for custom necklaces and bracelets with individual brands from specific ranches.
The silver she uses to make the custom necklaces forms a clay that can be rolled very thin and then stamped and shaped before it is placed in a kiln to be fired or hardened. Then Goodall oxydizes the silver to turn it black and sands it bring out a shine while leaving the black oxydation in the creases.
"Black gives it depth and dimension," she said.
The Goodnight Trail Gallery will display a case of Goodall's art for the foreseeable future. The gallery will be thinning its selection of traditional Navajo jewelry to add Goodall's work and a different flavor to gallery.
Jamie Bade, one of the owners of the gallery, thought Goodall's trendy, fun, bright, work would have a wide appeal. Bade also appreciates that Goodall is able to bring her unique style to the current trends.
"She's this perpetual student, she is always growing and changing, which I love about her," Bade said.
Goodall's show is also February's Mancos Cash Mob, a monthly event where everyone is encouraged to spend at least $20 at a business selected by the Mancos Chamber of Commerce.

'Legislative cocaine:' Gambling and state revenue
March 12. 2014 6:42PM
The repeated attempts over the years to bring casino gambling to New Hampshire continue today as the House is scheduled to vote on yet another bill to legalize casinos. This bill deserves to fail as all the previous ones have failed. By now, legislators can see that casinos create many addicts, none more dangerously hooked than the state government.
Supporters always promise that free revenue will rain down upon the state if a casino is built. Time after time, legislators do their homework and discover that the revenue does not come easily or painlessly. In addition to revenues being highly volatile, the experience from other states shows that they decrease over time.
As Andy Lietz, chairman of former Gov. John Lynch's Gaming Study Commission, has written, a casino "is not the state budget fix that many people think it is. Across the country gambling dollars have become what some refer to as 'legislative cocaine.' Once you have a little bit of it, you want more. The state will not be able to control casino or slot machine gaming the way it thinks it will."
New Hampshire's experience with lottery tickets bears this out. We wound up with $20 scratch tickets in our frenzied effort to maintain the revenue stream. Likewise, a state that allows one casino will allow others as revenue from the first one sinks. Addicted, the state will forever seek bigger revenue highs.
Moreover, with casinos now coming to Massachusetts, any New Hampshire casino will draw primarily New Hampshire gamblers. This will not be new money coming into the state, but money shifted from one in-state entertainment option (dinner, movies, shows, skiing) to the casino. Casinos transfer wealth (primarily to billionaire casino operators). They always have been a bad bet for New Hampshire, and that is even more true now.

It seems readers of TheBruinsBlog.net loved the play of Zdeno Chara and Dennis Seidenberg as a shutdown pair so much they want it to continue into the 2011-12 season.
In a poll last week, I asked who should be Chara's defense partner for the upcoming season. And Seidenberg secured the most votes.
Who should be Zdeno Chara's defense partner?
- Dennis Seidenberg (34%, 75 Votes)
- Johnny Boychuk (25%, 56 Votes)
- Joe Corvo (21%, 46 Votes)
- Adam McQuaid (13%, 29 Votes)
- Andrew Ference (8%, 17 Votes)
Total Voters: 223
However, readers aren't likely to get their way, at least until the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs. The Bruins kept Chara and Seidenberg separate for most of the 2010-11 season in order to balance out their pairs and avoid wearing down their best two defensemen. That ploy worked, even if head coach Claude Julien and his staff were a little slow in realizing they needed to pair the two blue-line stalwarts against Montreal. Boston was down 0-2 in the best-of-seven first-round series before the Chara-Seidenberg "super pair" was formed.
Although they succeeded in playing some of the best defensive hockey seen anywhere in years, Chara and Seidenberg will probably lead separate pairs when the 2011-12 season opens. To me, the most likely candidate to fill the spot to the right of the Bruins' captain is Johnny Boychuk. Entering his third year, Boychuk has played some of his best hockey skating next to Chara. He didn't fare quite as well during his time there last year, but the entire 2010-11 season seemed like a restart for Boychuk.
After a breakout rookie year in 2009-10, Boychuk suffered a broken arm early last season and struggled to get on track at either end of the ice after his return. In the playoffs, he paired with Andrew Ference to form a solid second pair. However, he went through as many lows as highs along the way.
In an effort to get his development, at 27 years old, back on the right path, the Bruins need to pair him with Chara or Seidenberg. Chara would be the perfect fit because Boychuk has had some success in that spot before and because in the grand scheme of things, Boychuk should be a younger version of Seidenberg (only with a harder shot).
Boychuk should be moving the puck with confidence up to his forwards and clearing out bodies from in front of the net to perfectly complement Chara's game the way Seidenberg did in the postseason. Upper-body strength is as important to Boychuk as it is to Seidenberg, and he has enough of it to be a bull out there if he puts his mind to it and finds a level of consistency. Maybe the early-season injury threw him off. Maybe Boychuk was hampered by the departure of assistant coach Craig Ramsay and/or got a little complacent after his strong first NHL year. But now he's entering another contract year and Boychuk has to regain his focus.
Playing next to Chara would be a great way to once again fulfill his promise. Of course, if he fails he could hurt his stock because if he can't thive next to the league's best defenseman, where exactly do you fit in?
As for the rest of the Bruins' top six — figuring the veterans hold off the challenge for lineup spots from Steven Kampfer and Matt Bartkowski — will be filled out by Seidenberg, Ference, Adam McQuaid and Joe Corvo. In order to keep all six defensemen on their strong sides, I would leave Seidenberg and Ference on the left with the other two on their right side.
Corvo and Seidenberg might've had some success together in their Carolina days, but I'm anticipating some growing pains for Corvo as he adjusts to the Julien system and also forges chemistry with his new teammates. At least to start the year, he should log third-pair minutes and pick up playing time on one of the power-play units.
Ference more than proved himself as a top-four blueliner. To preserve his legs and help tutor Corvo, however, Ference would look great on the newcomer's left. There's a reason why most rookies come up and get paired with Ference. Corvo, for all intents and purposes, will be a Bruins rookie.
That would leave McQuaid to the right of Seidenberg, which I think would give the defensemen the Bruins just rewarded with a contract extension a chance to flourish.
McQuaid showed last season how tough he is and what a solid defender — with his reach and strength — he could be. He also showed brief flashes of offensive ability. While he didn't put up that many points, he showed a knack for getting his above-average shot on goal and for knowing when to join the play and be in the right place during attack time or even on the rush.
The Bruins have made a commitment to McQuaid beyond this season, so it's time to see how much more he can bring. It's also time to see if Seidenberg can be the leader of a Chara-less pair for the long haul. Seidenberg struggled for stretches of last year's regular season. The opportunity to play with a up-and-comer like McQuaid might do the trick to keep Seidenberg at a respectable level of consistency.
So to recap, here's what my D pairs would look like:
The Bruins might just go with no set pairs for the first several months next season like they did last year. But if they're looking to keep things orderly, this is the way they should go.

With their sharp thinking and irreverent courtroom shenanigans, Jared Franklin and Peter Bash won many cases in the first season of TNT's "Franklin & Bash," and the show won many fans and earned a second season.
A large part of the show's success is due to the playful chemistry between its stars, Breckin Meyer (Franklin) and Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Bash), who don't turn off the funny when they're not on set. Like when I ask Meyer about writing an episode this season, and Gosselaar teases his buddy that he gave his character more lines than he usually gets.
"I had a lot more lines," Meyer responds, laughing. "I had the funny stuff, too."
In the new season of the comedy procedual, which premieres at 9 p.m. June 5 on TNT, the lawyers' own success at the powerful LA law firm that recruited them last season will have them struggling to maintain their "fight for the little guy" values. But you can bet that inner turmoil won't keep them from the courtroom hijinks fans love.
Gosselaar and Meyer were in Chicago recently to talk about the show's success, how much of it is improv and what will happen to their characters this season. (I'll have more about the episode Meyer wrote in a later post.)
We're you surprised by how popular the show became in Season 1?
Mark-Paul Gosselaar: Yeah. We wouldn't be our humble selves if we thought that, you know, everyone was going to like the show as much as they did.
Breckin Meyer: I mean, yeah, pleasantly. No, I think we were happy that people liked it, honestly, as much as kind of we enjoyed making it. When we found out we got through to the second season we were really happy, 'cause we have a really good time doing it.
MPG: I don't know if it's us, but I was also surprised fans caught all the little nuances.
BM: Yeah.
MPG: The things that we enjoy as fans of our own show, which sounds really pretentious but it's really not, but...
BM: But it does sound pretentious.
MPG: But we're such fans of our show and find little nuances in our show and then it just...
BM: That make us laugh.
MPG: And make us giggle and a lot of the fans picked up on those things. When we talk to a lot of them they usually express their appreciation for those kind of little moments, those asides and stuff that don't seem scripted.
But are they scripted?
MPG: Most of the time.
Really? Many seem so natural that I thought they were just you guys riffing.
BM: Yeah, there's a lot of that. We stick to the script and then there's usually one or two takes where they'll let us riff. It's usually the ins and outs. It's usually the buttons of the scenes you riff on and they change, just to keep it fresh with us 'cause we have such long days it's like we'll just--
MPG: It's a handwriting course. We stay within the lines and then at the end we put our little signature on there, you know?
MPG: It's like a little thing and that's how the whole show is.
BM: But it tends to work as it goes in line with the characters; it doesn't take you out of the show.
MPG: No.
BM: That's the thing with like [doing] improv. If it takes you out of the show, it's like, yeah, it was funny but it's not what the characters would do. As long as it tracks with what the guys would do usually it makes it in the show. I don't know if you've seen the season, but [in the first episode] there's a Jimmy Stewart impression I do and [Mark-Paul] riffed on it. We just did that 'cause we were having fun. Honestly, we were having fun goofing off with the actor playing the other lawyer. And he sounded like Jimmy Stewart.
MPG: A lot of times we'll just do it one time. Someone says to us, "Oh, that was great. Keep it." And we'll maybe do four takes on a scene or an angle and we'll do four different endings or four different reactions.
BM: And just a riff every now and then. That Jimmy Stewart riff, I just started doing it 'cause this guy to me sounded like Jimmy Stewart so I goofed off with it and then Mark-Paul riffed in the way Peter Bash would, 'cause Mark-Paul knows exactly what Jimmy Stewart sounds like, but Peter wouldn't necessarily...
MPG: And it was just such a Peter/Jared moment.
BM: We were happy it made it in the show.
MPG: A lot of the credit has to go to the editors because there's so much weeding through [takes] and they know the tone of our show. We've seen shows of ours where they don't have any of the Jared-and-Peter riffing, or the episode's very static.
BM: We've seen early cuts where it just feels like a procedural show, a very normal procedural show. And then you see the same episode once our editors and producers have gotten through it and it's like, "Oh, that's 'Franklin & Bash.'"
MPG: "There it is. There's 'Franklin & Bash.'" A lot of credit goes to them because they know how much to give and when not to give, so a lot of credit goes to them.
Do you find the writers are more now sort of writing for you in ways?
BM: No, I think they've been consistent. They write Franklin and Bash.
MPG: They write Franklin and Bash. They don't write us. Ninety percent of the time we're doing their writing. Like I said, it's just at times where we can go off script and it's only for brief moments. We don't change a scene, but it's just for those moments where we can take what they've given us. We've not complained but we've said to them before, "You're not leaving us a lot to do here. If you want us to do something there's not a lot to do here. Maybe we should trim the dialogue or add this so that we can use it as a launch pad."
BM: Mark-Paul can play guitar bit, but the fact that Peter played guitar was in before [anyone knew], you know what I mean? That's from [creator] Bill Chais, who plays guitar. So it wasn't a Mark-Paul thing; it was a Peter thing, just coincidentally Mark-Paul was able to [play] and has been learning more and more as the show's gone on.
MPG: The basketball stuff, to is one of those things.
BM: Right. I'm a drummer and they've said like, "We could make Jared a drummer," and I'm saying "No, no, no. Don't make Jared a drummer." I don't want to play me, you know what I mean? We don't want to play each other. It's boring. We want to play these characters.
MPG: Play with each other, too. [Laughs.]
BM: [Laughs.] Yes, we like to play with each other.
All right. So any added pressure with Season 2 after the popularity of the first?
MPG: Yeah. We had pressure because throughout the season...
BM: Not put on us by anyone else. But by us.
MPG: I remember us always saying, "We got to make it even better." We had pressure. This has got to be better than the first.
BM: It's got to be better than season one.
MPG: Or at least in the same tone, but those places where we felt like we missed something [do better]. We would express that to the producers and they're like assuring us, "No, it's in there. It's fine. It's good." Like in the first season it felt like a lot of hot tub scenes and parties. It really wasn't, but that's how it felt in our heads.
BM: One of the interesting things about how we do the show is we wrapped in January. We're in June now, or almost in June now and we wrapped in January. I think the benefit for the team and kind of the game plan is that we do the show not while it's airing. So we're not adjusting it according to the audience.
MPG: That's tough.
BM: We're doing it in a vacuum, which I think is to the benefit of the show because it's like we know we're consistent with our show. We're not changing it, we're not listening to everyone; we're not changing according to what's on now. Is there a show similar? Do we have to alter it a little more?
You guys seem to be having a good time on screen. Is it fun at work, too?
BM: We still have so much fun doing it; it really is. It's so funny. Every time we finish in January I call Mark-Paul during the holiday and I'm like, "I want to do a couple more. Can we just do a couple more? I'm not ready. I'm not ready to be done."
MPG: I'll be watching the shows and I want to text these guys and say, "What a fucking great job." I really enjoyed it. It's just fun because it is exactly what it's supposed to be. We don't pretend to be anything else. The writers and the producers know exactly what show it is; it's a fun show. It's entertaining.
BM: And we all get along. It sounds so silly. Like the actors, the producers, all that. We just don't want anyone else to grow up. Kevin has a new show that he's producing as well and the first thing we were like the step kids who have like a new sibling. We're like, "Who the fuck is that? Well do you like them more?"
The major challenge for Franklin and Bash this season is that they become partners in the firm and they're struggling because now thay are the big guys they used to fight.
BM: I think that's the overall theme.
MPG: Yeah, that's the undertones in the season, but there are even bigger things we learn toward the end of the season: why they were actually hired in the first place. Stanton finally comes clean about the truths of why we were hired.
BM: Of why he brought in Franklin and Bash in season one.
MPG: And why he made them equity partners. We go back in time; we do a flashback in one of the episodes where you see them in their youths, as youths.
BM: [Laughs.] As yoots.
MPG: [Laughs.] As yoots.
BM: They don't know why they were hired; they don't even know there was any other reason until almost all the way through the season. In the beginning of the season, being made equity partners, their big challenge is how do you stay true to your values when now you're representing the guys you used to fight against, the man or whatever you want to call it. Big corporate giants. And they have to make rain. They got to bring in clients and bringing in hot dog vendors and whatnot is what we're used to. And suddenly having to bring in like corporate giants like the one Kevin Nelon plays. We're not used to like wining and dining the assholes. We're used to kind of fighting them.
MPG: It doesn't mean that episodes aren't funny anymore. The way that we combat the seriousness of what they have to accomplish in the firm is by humor. The more authority and the more that these guys are against the wall to conform, the more I think that we can be more Franklin and Bash.
BM: Yeah, that's when we have the most fun is when we're up against authority, when we're up against whether it's like a cop, whether it's the judge, whether it's a corporate jackass. That's kind of where the most fun for us as actors comes in 'cause that's when you let the guys do their thing.
Give me your pitch for the season.
MPG: It's bigger, better.
BM: I was about say, it's bigger than last season. It's bigger, better. One of us is hung.
MPG: Yeah. Bigger, better, and one of us is uncut.
BM: Yeah. It's pretty good.

Plymouth man arrested for robbing same place twice
August 24. 2013 11:49AM
HUDSON — A Plymouth man was arrested for allegedly committing two armed robberies at the same location about six weeks apart, police said Saturday.
Jason Crosby, 32, was arrested in Plymouth late Friday on two counts of armed robbery. Bail was set at $100,000, and he is slated for arraignment Monday in 9th Circuit Court in Nashua.
Crosby is accused of robbing Haffner's Kick Stop at 215 Lowell Road on July 7 at 10:37 p.m. and again on Friday at 3:06 a.m., police said.
In the first robbery, Crosby displayed a small black semi-automatic handgun and demanded money from the clerk, authorities said. The second time, the suspect claimed to have had a weapon and again demanded money, police said.
The Nashua police provided assistance in the investigation.

Symptoms + Cures Lyrics
With the right kind of people you could certainly put a slight dent in the wall.
It's foundation built on tearing us down, little by little. Turn it around.
I don't know a lot of people who have given as much of their lives and dedicated their minds and souls so fervently to the vision intact.
Realize the power at hand.
Redesigning evil spit the right words making public disheveled.
As the poison spreads, who will shake these vultures down?
All set to realize ours, but these lights are blinding.
Split the tension underlining it all.
Redefining people, realize the power at hand.
This earth has opened up to see, and the new world's getting even smaller.
Refining the security.
Do you feel like the walls are closing in or is it just me while I'm here getting caught up to speed?
I'm for it.
I'm all for it when there's a line between progress and greed, and if we want to get caught up to speed.
Can we breathe out new life in the air?
Send out a wave. Use this as ammunition against the vultures that prey on the public's addiction.
They're creating the symptoms + cures.
Use this as ammunition.
As long as I have a voice I must stay awake, I can't lose this vision.
I'll be right here watching the walls collapsing in.
The walls collapsing in.
And they set up the vulnerable.
This climate brings fear and intimidates.
Set up the vulnerable. Crushing the vulnerable.
Is this progress?

Economic Disadvantage Eligibility
SBA cannot determine if an individual is economically disadvantaged unless SBA has already found the individual to be socially disadvantaged. The individual majority owner(s) must prove both social disadvantage and economic disadvantage.
According to SBA's regulations, "economically disadvantaged individuals are socially disadvantaged individuals whose ability to compete in the free enterprise system has been impaired due to diminished capital and credit opportunities."
To determine if an individual is also economically disadvantaged, each socially disadvantaged individual must provide the following to SBA:
- Narrative statement of economic disadvantage
- Personal financial information (including tax returns and certain SBA forms)
- In every case, when married, the socially disadvantaged individual must submit separate financial information to SBA for his or her spouse (including tax returns and certain SBA forms).
Firms owned by an entity have different requirements and generally do not have to prove economic disadvantage for individual owners. Eligible entities are American Indians, Native Alaskans, Native Hawaiians and Certified Development Companies.
Factors SBA Considers to Determine Economic Disadvantage
In reviewing economic disadvantage, SBA reviews several factors to determine if a socially disadvantaged individual is economically disadvantaged: These factors include:
- All income for the past three years, including any unusual income levels
- Fair market value of all assets
- Personal net worth (assets and liabilities)
- Transfer of assets to an immediate family member, directly or via trust
- Availability of individual retirement account (IRA) funds or other official retirement accounts
- Income received from the firm when filing taxes as an S corporation or partnership
- Reinvestments into the applicant firm
- Tax payments for the firm
Majority Owner's Spouse's Role
In certain cases, SBA will consider a spouse's financial situation when determining whether the applicant is economically disadvantaged. SBA looks to the role of the spouse in the applicant firm. Particularly whether the spouse:
- has a role in the business
- has lent money to the firm
- provided credit support to the firm
- guaranteed a loan
In every case, when married, the socially disadvantaged individual must submit separate financial information to SBA for his or her spouse (including tax returns and certain SBA forms).
Separate economic disadvantaged eligibility requirements exist for a business that is owned by American Indians, Native Alaskans, Native Hawaiians and Certified Development Companies.
Economic Thresholds - Assets, Income, Net Worth
Before SBA can approve an application, the individuals claiming to be disadvantaged must submit supporting documents to prove their assets, income, and net worth fall below certain threshold amounts. These include:
- Assets cannot exceed $4 million
- Personal income cannot exceed $250,000, averaged over 3 years
- Adjusted net worth must be less than $250,000
To be sure the small business owners are not unfairly penalized, review how SBA calculates your assets, income, and net worth below.
How SBA calculates IRA or other retirement accounts: In certain circumstances, funds in an IRA or other retirement account may be excluded from SBA's calculation of assets and net worth. SBA recognizes that small business owners often use retirement savings as a vehicle to fund the business. For each application, SBA looks closely at these assets and might exclude them from the calculation of assets and net worth.
How SBA calculates home equity and business equity: In every instance, the individual's home equity and firm equity are excluded from SBA's calculation of net worth. SBA recognizes that small business owners often use home equity to fund the business. For every individual applicant, SBA excludes home equity in the calculation of net worth. Still, the full market value of the individual's home is counted as an Asset.
How SBA calculates S corporations or partnerships distributions: In certain instances, such distributions are excluded from SBA's calculation of personal income and net worth. SBA recognizes that small business owners often "pay themselves" to pay the firm's taxes, particularly when the firm files its taxes as an S corporation. When the individual applicant proves that such money was either reinvested in the firm or used to pay firm taxes, those distributions will not be counted as income nor an asset for net worth calculations.
How SBA calculates personal income: In every instance, SBA reviews income averaged over three years preceding submission of the application. SBA does not penalize small business owners for having one good year. Instead, we look to patterns and trends. To calculate income, SBA averages it over three years. This is why SBA requires full tax returns (including all schedules, attachments, and W-2s) for three years preceding the firm's application.
More Information
Contact an SBA local office or resource partner for free one-on-one assistance to understand the process requirements to proving economic disadvantage.
Before starting the application process please consult these online resources:

Accelerator companies continue to attract private and public capital—but data released last week shows they are also growing well on their own steam. Resident companies generated $11.6 million in revenue in 2012—more than double the previous year. Private capital funds increased 48% from 2011 to 2012, and public grants increased 18% from the same time period. Over the past five years, the number of resident companies has steadily increased, and in 2012 reached an all-time high of 29 resident companies. Employment within the Accelerator continues to grow with a 9% increase from 2011.
"Job creation isn't a myth here at the Accelerator," says director Angela Jackson. "Last year our companies employed 212 FTE, 42% higher than the national incubator average."
The Accelerator offers close collaboration with the University and strong support for technology. According to the National Business Incubation Association, there are 1400 incubators in the United States with 33% operated by schools and universities.

This week in Island history
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 100 years ago came from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago From the Newport Journal, March 26, 1910
The first fire alarm for the year was pulled on Tuesday at 10:30, after an elapse of over four months without a single call. The volunteer department responded promptly and found the interior of a shed on the estate of the late Captain I.B. Briggs, at the West ferry, well under way. A few minutes of work with hydrant steamers were suffi cient to extinguish the blaze.
The new organ for the Central Baptist Church was used Wednesday evening for the first time, the occasion being a free recital given by Mr. Saunier of Boston. There was a good attendance and the fine music was appreciated.
75 years ago From the Newport Daily News, March 26, 1935
At the ping pong tournament, between the Republican Club and the Fire Department, held at the Narragansett Avenue engine house Monday evening, 24 matches were played, the Republican Club winning, 17-7. From the Newport Daily News, March 28, 1935
(At the school committee meeting) two suggestions for improved instruction were the use of more recent maps and the other the use of art pictures. The committee acted favorably in both cases.
50 years ago From the Newport Daily News, March 26, 1960
The $6,000 annual payment given E.R. Davenport & Co. by the Jamestown Water Co. under a management contract came in for much searching yesterday in a water rates hearing before the state Public Utilities Commission. The hearing was in the Jamestown Water Company's petition for a 42 percent water rate increase.
From the Newport Daily News, March 29, 1960
The Jamestown Town Council last night approved an ordinance regulating traffic and parking and for the payment of fines in the town. …Under the new ordinance, parking will be limited to one hour between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Narragansett Avenue and on Memorial Circle on north and south sides, east from Conanicus Avenue in the waterfront and the ferry wharf.
(At the council meeting) the argument that Jamestown would gain new residents if the (Newport) bridge is built (it was said) is without basis in fact, but even if it were correct and people flocked to build homes in the town, unless there is also new industry to be taxed, the town would have an increased burden for education.
The motor caravan in support of the proposed $36,000,000 Newport Bay Bridge will have a minimum of 50 cars in line for the hearings in the State House, Providence. …Opponents of the bridge will also be present.
25 years ago From the Newport Daily News, March 25, 1985
Four-year terms for town councilmen, a separate Water and Sewer Authority and a new article defining town meetings highlight a list of charter revisions recommended by the Charter Review Committee.
Student numbers down; school costs up. (In Jamestown, the cost per pupil was $2,810, up 16.3 percent from the year before.)
From the Newport Daily News, March 26, 1985
The Town Council Monday began searching for a way to put stumbling blocks in the path of developers requesting variances from state regulations on septic systems. From the Newport Daily News, March 28, 1985
University of Rhode Island graduate students updated the Planning Board Wednesday on their detailed study of the island. In the second of four scheduled workshops, students discussed ways of preserving the rural character of the island. The first workshop covered cluster zoning. A third session — on the island's coastal zoning — will be held April 8.
15 years ago From the Jamestown Press, March 30, 1995
Town Democrats have launched a two-pronged attack in an effort to get back in the race after their slate of candidates was thrown off the ballot for the local May 3 election last Friday by the state Board of Elections.
10 years ago From the Jamestown Press, March 30, 2000
The town's newly approved mooring fees have passed their first hurdle. The state Coastal Resources Management Council has reviewed the town's new mooring fee structure at a meeting of its Planning and Procedures Subcommittee, and determined that the rates were reasonable.
The warm winter weather in the Northeast this year has caused deer ticks, the tiny arthropods responsible for Lyme Disease and other illnesses, to become active earlier than usual.

When I started woodworking in New Hampshire with my fellow over educated woodbutcher buddies in the late 1960s, one of the most alluring aspects of working wood for a living was looking at, fondling and generally coveting fine woodworking tools. The guy who brought a new and interesting tool into work would get to be the leader of the pack – at least until he was topped by someone else showing up with another nifty tool acquisition.

Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. Using Trademark Law To Prevent The Use Of Public Domain Stories
from the only-eight-years-left,-make-them-count dept
With that in mind, it should come as little surprise that ERB has set its legal sights on the comic book company Dynamite Entertainment. You see, Dynamite had the audacity to base a series of comic books on the public domain stories and settings found in the early Tarzan and John Carter books. However, ERB was not having it. So it decided to sue Dynamite, not for copyright infringement (at least not primarily) but for trademark infringement. Since it can't fight Dynamite's use of those public domain stories on copyright grounds, it is attempting to use trademark law to block it.
In this lawsuit, ERB claims that Dynamite's use of the Tarzan and John Carter marks dilutes and damages the associated brands ERB controls. ERB claims that the manner in which Dynamite uses the mark, and specifically some of the covers which feature partial nudity, are damaging to the reputation and good will of ERB and the business it has built up around Tarzan and John Carter.
What this really sounds like is a company coming to the realization of what will happen in less than a decade's time. If people could just make comics and other derivative works based on its characters, then licensing deals, like the ones it made with Disney and Dark Horse Comics, would not be necessary. That's the real rub here. It is making a lot of money from those deals. If it were to be ruled either in court or through inaction that there is no need for such licensing when the derivative works are using the characters, settings and stories of the public domain works, then ERB's whole business model would fall flat. On the other hand, if ERB can win this case based on trademark alone, it could extend its business model and profit potential to long after the copyrights on all of Burroughs' works expire in 2020. If that is the case, it could set a very damaging precedent.

Customization of Google based maps and forms
Read this document please: http://demo.virtuti.info/map-form.pdf
Photos, illustrations, paintings, artworks, icons etc.
Sometimes I include these visual elements into folder to download, sometimes I do not.
Simple logic says that in 99.99% of cases you will not need exactly same pictures to use in your website. If for example, my demo theme is decorated with retro cars photo backgrounds while your website is about football team or furniture showcase, I assume there is no sense in retro cars photo backgrounds, right?
Second thing is that in order to include photos, illustrations, paintings, artworks etc into downloadable folder I need to pay and obtain corresponding license to re-sell such images. If to follow simple logic (described above) you will throw away these images because you simply do not need them. Same simple logic says me that payment for such licenses is not justified.
When do I include photos, illustrations, paintings, artworks, icons etc into folder to download?
It happens when I do have legal permission to use copyrighted material in commercial purposes. It happens when such material is free for use in commercial projects.
Everything I create myself is always included into folder and I provide either jpg/png files or/and PSD files.
It does not work!

As usual, some missed comma in js script or missed hash in CSS file may cause troubles and prevent a website to work properly. If you cannot figure out anyway where the mistake has happened, email me. I help at charge and I need full folder with your files to work with.
What free support of template does include?
I gladly answer all questions concerning template itself. If you are stuck with how the code (or part of it) works or what specific part of code means you may always ask me via comment box.
I cannot, however, to search, find and fix mistakes which user/buyer makes in process of customizing for free. If a user/buyer sees that something does not work in his/her version of website based on my template while he/she sees it working in live demo it means mistake/misspelling/error occurred during customization.

[Look for the podcast play button below.]
I'm delighted to welcome back Lance Navarro for Part 2 of his appearance for the Sex EDGE-U-cation podcast series. Last week we discussed his work in porn. This week we turn our attention to another aspect of his sex work, being an escort.
Like last week, Lance, with his trademark frankness dispels some of the myths surrounding this type of sex work. And if you thought last week's program was provocative, hold on to your hats. Because this week is gonna totally blow you away.
But wait, you didn't miss Part 1 of this amazing conversation, which appeared here last week at this time did you? Well not to worry if ya did, because you can find it and all my podcasts in the Podcast Archive right here on my site. All ya gotta do is use the search function in the header; type in Podcast #261 and PRESTO! But don't forget the #sign when you do your search.
Lance and I discuss:
- Escorting; how he got started and why he does it;
