Psychology is a discipline defined by the scientific study of behavior. The psychology curriculum is designed to acquaint students with the broad scope of the discipline and to deepen their awareness of the complexity of human behavior. The mission of the Saint John's University and College of Saint Benedict Joint Department of Psychology is to produce graduates who have a high level of critical thinking skills derived from knowledge of basic psychological principles and methods, and a clear understanding of the role of psychology in the liberal arts curriculum. Courses expose students to the general theories, applied principles, and empirical methods central to the discipline of psychology. Thus, each student becomes capable of refining their understanding of behavior as new empirical data become available. This breadth of exposure produces graduates who are well qualified for graduate education in psychology or related fields, who are prepared to work in a variety of applied areas, and who can apply the relevant principles in any work environment. Students in disciplines such as education, management, nursing, nutrition, pre-law, pre-medicine, social work, and theology find many relevant courses within the psychology curriculum.
The psychology faculty promotes critical thinking in the evaluation of research literature and popular ideas about psychology. The department also engages in a process of assessment in order to continuously improve its ability to offer a quality learning experience. In addition, students are required to relate academic course material to moral and ethical concerns of the profession and the community at large. For additional information, consult the department's website: www.csbsju.edu/psychology.
Required of all majors: 111, 221, 235;
12 credits from: 320, 330, 331, 340, 350;
4 credits from the following list of capstone courses: 392, 393, 396, 398, 399;
Plus electives for a total of 44 psychology credits.

Fantastic match from Barça Regal in the first match of the semi-finals of the Liga Endesa against Valencia
Lorbek (15), Ndong and Mickeal (14), were Barça's highest scorers. Navarro made his reappearance on the court (7 minutes)
FCB Regal: Huertas (5), Eidson (2), Mickeal (14), Lorbek (15), Ndong (14) –startig five-, Sada (6), Navarro (2), Vázquez (8), Wallace (9), Ingles (9) and Rabaseda.
Valencia Basket: Markovic (6), Dean, Claver (6), Faverani (19), Caner Medley (7) –startig five-, Ogilvy (1), Newley (13), Martínez, Pietrus, De Colo (5) and San Miguel.
Referees: De la Maza, Conde and Peruga.
Good news at the Palau Blaugrana. Barça Regal decisively beat Valencia Basket in the first match of the semi-final series of the Liga Endesa. The Catalans offered up a spectacular performance, even Navarro made an appearance. Valencia only put up a fight for two minutes, as the home side brilliantly showcased their potential all over the court. The next game will be at the Palau on Sunday.
38 minutes of complete dominance
Valencia started off strong with a 0-6 run at the start of the game. Barça Regal's response was immediate and ruthless as they stormed back to take the lead (9-6, min4). Pascual's men managed to find good opportunities to take shots and, and with Ndong on the bench because of two quick fouls, Lorbek quickly took responsibility for the team by scoring nine points in six minutes (14-8). On top of the Slovenian's accuracy, the Azulgranas employed a fluid game on offence and aggressive grit on defence (19-10, min 8).
At the end of the first quarter Barça had a commanding 23-10 lead. The last eight minutes were simply excellent for Barça. Mickeal scored eight points.
Exhibition and Navarro reappears
The team had De Colo under control, the best Valencia player, and on offence, led by Sada, Barça were just as fluid in the second quarter as they were in the first. The Valencia manager, Perasovic, could do nothing to stop the Barça onslaught (29-15, min 12). Faverani was the only Valencia player that showed signs of life. However, it was time for Navarro to make his reappearance, which coincided with Barça's largest lead of the half (+19, 45-26, min 18). The ball was being passed perfectly and the crowd was loving it. The Barça players were not missing their shots and the match looked to be over at the half (49-32).
Same story in the second half
Logically, Barça took their foot off the pedal in the second half. However, the team's play was equally as lethal and the difference between the two sides was the same (63-44, min 28). Valencia, despite a timid attempt to react, were still imprecise and were unable to score. In the last minutes of the third quarter, four consecutive fouls on Wallace to the the balance to +24 (68-44).
Barça's superiority was overwhelming. The supporters were enjoying themselves and they cheered on as their players dominated the match, leading to standing ovations each time Barça managed to dunk (77-48, min 34). The difference between the two sides was 30 points and both the managers started thinking about the next match on Sunday. With the game out of reach, Valencia were able to mount a small comeback by it didn't do away with overall feeling of Barça's dominance. It was clear, Barça Regal had stated their intentions loud and clear in the first match of the semi-finals.

NEW ORLEANS - Asthma kills about 5,000 Americans every year. About a third of the children who die from asthma were considered to have mild asthma and had no previous hospital admissions for the lung disease.
"The number of deaths annually is absolutely appalling," says Jane El-Dahr, professor of pediatrics in allergy and clinical immunology at Tulane University Health Sciences Center. "With the current medications and understanding we have today about asthma, there is no reason for anyone to die. These are unnecessary deaths," says El-Dahr, who is incoming president of the Louisiana Society of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology.
More than 70 percent of people with asthma suffer from allergies. While most believe spring allergy season provokes the worst asthma symptoms, medical textbooks say September is the peak time for children to experience asthma attacks. In Louisiana residents are exposed year-round to pollinating grasses and mold.
Recent research conducted by El-Dahr and colleagues charted the number of emergency department visits of more than 3,000 children with asthma in three cities - New Orleans, Tucson and Charlottesville, Va. In Charlottesville, the number of emergencies peaked in September, just as the medical textbooks predict. But there was no spike in ER visits in New Orleans or Tucson at any time during the year.
In addition, other common allergens such as dust mites and cockroaches that thrive in the humid Louisiana climate can wreak havoc all year long on the respiratory systems of people with asthma.
"We would like to see people with asthma staying vigilant all year long, to maximize asthma control,' El-Dahr says. "Even a person with mild asthma can have a severe attack."
El-Dahr and her colleagues are working to implement using asthma action plans statewide. These customized, written guidelines for the asthmatic and the patient's family to follow clearly spell out the proper medications and when to use them; when to call the doctor; and when to go to the emergency department.
The asthma action plan outlines symptoms in three zones - green, yellow and red, with clear instructions. One plan is being piloted in the New Orleans area through a grant funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the "Step Together New Orleans" program. In addition, the Louisiana Society of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology will be promoting to doctors a simple, one-page questionnaire to ask patients about their asthma.
Questions on the questionnaire include if the child woke up at night wheezing or coughing more than twice in the past month; if the child avoided exercise because of asthma symptoms; and if the child needed albuterol (a rescue medicine) more than twice a week in the past month.
Most asthma patients over-estimate the level of control they have over their disease, El- Dahr says, and parents over-estimate their child's level of control, despite the fact that nearly 50 percent of their children had to miss days of school.
"Parents need to know that asthma is a year-round problem, so good asthma control and monitoring should be year-round," El-Dahr says. For more information about asthma control, go to Better Control for Better Living at: www.sleepworkplay.com

The Woodworking Show was in Houston this last weekend and those in attendance were treated to a number of great educational opportunities and some interesting booths and woodworking projects. If you live in the area and you couldn't attend, you missed a good one. Before you even entered the hall you walked through the Cooks Hardwood area. This was like being in a large woodworking candy store with what seemed to be an almost limitless supply of domestic and exotic hardwoods. From pen blanks to bowl blanks to huge bookmatched slabs, this was my idea of nirvana. Sadly, none of what I wanted would fit in the overhead for the flight home so I'll have to wait until he comes to Chicago.
Even in the lobby, before you actually got onto the main exhibitor floor, there were continual presentations by clubs, schools and vendors. You didn't have to pay an admission fee to watch Frank Strazza show how hand tools and a great skill base can be used to create some beautiful pieces of furniture. His School of Woodworking, part of the Center for Essential Education, had nice crowds all day.
Craft Supply was out there also and their free pen turning lathes stayed busy. You could have all but camped out in front watching the videos that played on a number of big screen TVs. All this before you walked pass the ticket taker!
My seminars, as well as those of my brother Mike (Cabinet Refinishing) and Roland Johnson's Tool Rodeo, were held in classrooms just off the show floor. Those that came loved the quiet and seemed to so enjoy the experience that many just stayed there between presentations. I don't know how the other guys felt but talking continually for 6 hours can be tough. Certainly not for the faint of heart nor the weak of kidney.
There were some great displays of talent in the club areas also. At the Woodworkers Club of Houston I saw one of the most interesting variations of a workbench I can recall. Made by Jeremy Grubb, this could as easily have been promoted as a piece of fine furniture. Made predominately of Purpleheart with Wenge accents, this is something every woodworker would want to have in the shop but would probably spend more time keeping waxed than getting a chisel too close. Jeremy believes it doesn't have to be mundane to be functional.
I also spent time talking to Denis Muras. He was quick to tell me that the club produced over 6000 toys for children this last year. He had quite a few of his projects on display including a very detailed ragtop vintage car. As it turned out, he also had the winning entry in the Show Off area with his wooden tractor. He has one thing that he seemed particularly proud of though. He makes wooden teeth for use by teachers in elementary classes as prizes for kids who lose teeth in class. The kids love it. Pretty cool.
Just down the hall from our classrooms I found a great example of bookmatching. At the Lone Star Chapter of the Society of American Period Furniture Makers, there was a miniature chest with an almost startling set of Walnut doors. This was a perfect example of why this technique should be learned by any woodworker with a desire to add interest to his or her work. In spite of its diminutive size, you couldn't help notice it as you strolled the aisles.
This was the next to last show of this woodworking season and it was also where the show's owner, Joe Strong (with a six shooter at his side—this being Texas and all), held a vendor meeting on Saturday evening.
The schedule for next season was reviewed as well as some of the new things the show would be offering. There are changes planned in marketing, advertising and education all with the intention of providing a better experience for the attendee and the vendors.
The last show of the season is this coming weekend in Huntsville, Alabama. We've never done a show here but the hope is that this is an area with woodworkers eager to attend an event much closer than they would otherwise have found. This is also the last stop for this year's Show Off projects and one will win the Delta Unisaw to be awarded this weekend. I don't know if we'll have a quiet classroom for our seminars this week, but if we do, I may have to alter my morning coffee routine.
'Til then, I'll see you on the road.

Stepping Out
Sweet harmonies with The Doo Wop Project
Cast members from Broadway's 'Jersey Boys' perform some soulful hits on Nov. 15
On Stage
The Doo Wop Project
The smooth sounds of classic doo-wop can be heard at Tilles Center's Hillwood Recital Hall, in the form of five outstanding vocalists known as The Doo Wop Project. The entertaining ensemble — who were, or currently are, in the cast of Broadway's smash hit "Jersey Boys" — offers up a night of songs mixed with individual stories and references to their upbringings and experiences in the business, particularly backstage at the August Wilson Theatre, home of Jersey Boys, where the idea for the group was conceived. The Doo Wop Project, which does not feature Jersey Boys material or songs by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, is an homage to the doo-wop era and the music that was inspired by that sound. These modern doo-wop guys put their spin on such songs as "Denise" by Randy & The Rainbows, Thurston Harris' "Little Bitty Pretty One," The Skyliners' "Since I Don't Have You," "Gloria," and "God Only Knows," among other classics.

Comments about Sound Percussion Labs Drum Hardware Pack:
Consisting of CST100, SND100, HH100, & DP10 this is obviously an entry level pack.
The cymbal stand is double braced, but of a lighter gauge metal and smaller tube diameter than the SP880BS Boom Stand (which is highly recomended).
Hihat lacks any spring tension adjustment. Both pedals are cast aluminum with rivets rather than boltsand lack carpet spikes. The snare stand wobles under moderate playing.
If you can stretch your budget, find a more substantial pack, you do get what you pay for. This value Pack is best suited for begining players with a small budget,although it might also work for a light jazz/cocktail kit.

I have just installed Zimbra (latest version) on Open Suse 10.2 (following the guides), went to the admin console, sucessfully created 2 accounts, but when I try testing it and send a message from one account on the box to another, it gives me this error message:
msg Csfe service error
code NETWORK_ERROR
method ZmCsfeCommand.prototype.invoke

At first, I thought it's an issue w/ DNS or firewall, but it's resolving just fine, has A and MX records, firewall isn't blocking it... so.. Any ideas? Thanks. I've search the forum, and it seems to be an old issue, but no one has provided a solution. yet.

Thermo Fisher linked to Ebola test
(This story has been corrected. See note at end of story).
A rapid test for Ebola using technology originally from a local company has been cleared for emergency use.
The test runs on instruments from Thermo Fisher Scientific, originally from Carlsbad-based Life Technologies. Thermo Fisher bought the company in February. The test was made by the Department of Defense, and its use was authorized this week by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Results of the test, which analyzes blood samples, are available in two hours, said Dan Didier, director of public health with Life Sciences Solutions — Thermo Fisher.
In comparison, the waiting period for other methods of detecting the Ebola virus is one to two days.
The Defense Department used Thermo Fisher's TaqMan system to make the test, Didier said.
The new test is normally conducted when Ebola symptoms appear, "but screening could begin prior to symptoms because the test is incredibly sensitive," Didier said.
Emergency authorization by the FDA bypasses the agency's usual approval process. It is given only amid certain crises, such as this latest outbreak of Ebola that has killed nearly 1,000 people in West Africa since March.
In a somewhat similar way, health-care authorities allowed the use of an unapproved Ebola therapy from the San Diego biotech company Mapp Biopharmaceutical for two American humanitarian workers who contracted Ebola in Liberia. That experimental therapy was given to the patients before they were transported to the United States.
Ebola is transmitted by direct contact with an infected person or that person's bodily fluids. It hasn't been shown to spread from person to person through the air.
The new rapid-detection test for Ebola is performed on two different variants of the Applied Biosystems 7500 series, depending on whether it's used in the United States or abroad. These instruments are placed in certified labs. They can detect the genetic material of any virus, or indeed any organism, Didier said.
During each test, the system compares the known genetic sequence of Ebola against the test sample.
It relies on a widely used technology that makes copies of extremely small amounts of genetic material so it can be more easily detected.
The Applied Biosystems instruments offer an improved "real time" version of this technology, quantifying the genetic material while it is being amplified. This as-you-go method yields results more quickly, and it tells how much of the targeted genetic material was present in the sample, Didier said.
Researchers at Thermo Fisher, and Life Technologies before it, have worked closely for years with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other public-health agencies worldwide to develop similar tests for other infectious outbreaks, Didier said.
Such collaboration for analysis of Ebola goes back about eight years.
"I think it was around 2006 (when the Defense Department) realized this could be a threat to U.S. security," Didier said. "They built a detection kit back then. As I understand it, it's that same kit" that has received what the FDA calls an emergency-use authorization.
In 2010, the FDA gave emergency authorization for a test designed to spot the H1N1 flu virus. That test is also run on Applied Biosystems brand instruments. Applied Biosystems is the name of a predecessor company to Life Technologies.
An indirect means of detecting Ebola that has been used for years is to analyze blood for antibodies that combat the virus.
Symptoms of an Ebola infection can also help in diagnosis; they can occur anywhere between two and 21 days after initial exposure, according to the CDC. These typically include fever, headache, joint and muscle pain, weakness, diarrhea and vomiting.

It has now been two full years since Lee Daniels premiered "Precious" at Sundance where it quickly became the film sensation of 2009, coming into the Oscars with six nominations and walking away with two wins for Best Supporting Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay. Since then, Daniels has attached himself to a lot of movies -- "Anna In The Tropics," "Nights of Cabiria," "The Scottsboro Boys," and most notably "Selma" (which fell apart) -- without any managing to get in front of cameras. Now, another gestating film, "The Paperboy," has lost one of its lead actresses.
Deadline reports that Sofia Vergara has dropped out of the film as the shifting scheduling conflicts with her duties on "Modern Family." Matthew McConaughey, Tobey Maguire and Zac Efron -- announced last month -- are presumably still set to go on the independent film, an adaptation of the 1995 Peter Dexter novel that revolves around the two sons of a Florida newspaper magnate, a reporter and a college dropout, and the investigation into a possible miscarriage of justice surrounding a death row inmate convicted of killing the local sheriff.
No word on an exact start date just yet, but it looks like everything is drawing together and this will be Daniels' next film. Will he court awards season glory again? Only time will tell but he's got another bunch of great source material and a pretty solid cast to work, with so he's definitely starting out on the right foot.

Building on social psychology, cultural sociology and historical institutionalism, it is possible to develop fairly specific expectations of how identities shape parties' policy-making. These experiences can be formulated as empirical questions, which can be analysed with the help of the quantitative and qualitative data collected on the political parties in question. Which ideas of the role and capacity of the state and the functioning of the labour market dominate a party's discourse? Who or what constitutes 'the alternative' to a given policy and ideational identity?
Answering the above questions in the case of the Labour Party and the SPD, it is possible to draw conclusions from the similarities and parallels that can be discovered between both parties. Both encountered disorientation and ideological crises after the increasing failure of Keynesian policy prescriptions. They eventually moved and embraced neo-liberal LMP approaches - although at a different speed and intensity - nevertheless eventually heading in a similar direction. Here, the different approaches of the Labour Party and the SPD growing from the increasing failure of their national blends of Keynesian-led policy approaches can be explained by the historical differences in the institutions (federalism, Clause IV, etc.), as well as the differences found in the domestic context of both countries' political systems (Thatcherism, electoral systems and party competition).
Furthermore, after the collapse of the political systems in Eastern Europe, the increasing level of Western European economic integration, and the emergence of an increasingly internationalized economy, both parties moved in a similar policy direction and embraced a delayed shift (compared to most of their party political competitors) in their institutionalized economic policy paradigm, from Keynesian to neo-liberal economic policy approaches.
This is not to say that the parties signed up wholeheartedly to the economic and social policies of their conservative political rivals. Instead, a rhetoric of social justice was developed under new economic conditions that meant that, in the 1997/8 general election programmes that brought them back into office, both parties combined distinctive aspects of traditional social democratic policy

Jersey Shore
Thompson family matriarch June Shannon, AKA Mama June, may be as country as it gets on her hit show, Here Comes Honey Boo, but off-screen, it looks like she's already fending off celebrity friends left and right.
During an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show, June admitted that she had recently accidentally brushed off a superstar while making a TV appearance.
"This may sound bad on my part, but because it was so crazy at Good Morning America, [Miley's] like, 'Oh my god, there's Mama June!' and she came up and hugged me because it was so fast, I didn't realize it was her until after she walked by!"
While June may be getting the Hollywood treatment these days, thanks to the success of her show, she's still cooking up the same old country grub, much to the delight of Wendy, who sampled some of Mama June's famous fare.
After trying out June's butter and ketchup-laden "sketti" and chunky pork and beans, Wendy had nothing but rave reviews.
"Tastes like home," she said.

Welcome | Development of SARD | Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue
The Importance of Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue and Participation
Agenda 21 states, "One of the fundamental prerequisites for the achievement of sustainable development is broad public participation in decision-making. Furthermore, in the more specific context of environment and development, the need for new forms of participation has emerged." (Section 23.2) In addition, "Any policies, definitions or rules affecting access to and participation by Non-Governmental Organizations in the work of United Nations institutions or agencies associated with the implementation of Agenda 21 must apply equally to all major groups." (Section 23.3)
FAO, as a UN agency, was further invited, at the CSD 8th Session (April 2000) and at the Committee on Agriculture (COAG) 16th Session, held at FAO in March 2001, to continue its involvement in multi-stakeholder dialogues on Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development (SARD) with the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD), Governments, Major Groups and other stakeholders. FAOs work with Major Groups on SARD/Chapter14 has become an example of good practice on how regular multi-stakeholder dialogue can help to raise awareness, build broad consensus, and mobilize preliminary resources to achieve critical objectives. Landmarks in this process include:

As part of our How I Shot That series, Indiewire asked cinematographers with films at this year's Sundance to name their favorite directors of photography (no surprise that Roger Deakins, Harris Savides and Gordon Willis are mentioned quite a bit).
Here they list some of their favorite cinematographers (and explain why):
"I really enjoyed the film 'Armadillo' in part due to the cinematic moments Lars Skree captured away from the frontline. I was incredibly intimidated and excited when I had the opportunity to assist him a few years later on an Afghanistan shoot. He quickly put me at ease and was constantly offering to teach as we worked, which is very rare during a shoot. I hope I'll get to work with him again!" -- Cinematographer Rachel Beth Anderson ("E-Team")
"Can I just give you a small list? Conrad Hall, Gordon Willis, and Harris Savides will live as legends in my eyes forever. I respect and appreciate the choices they've made to create amazing bodies of work. I look up to them for inventing new aesthetics for every film and taking risks to help tell their stories. In recent years, I also admire Chivo and Hoyta Van Hoytema. These guys have a touch for creating looks that give their films so much depth and texture while maintaining a subtle hand on the images" -- Cinematographer Christopher Blauvelt ("Low Down")
"I must say that Harris Savides was always on the top for me. He
was a master with available and ambient light and was not afraid of
darkness. I could watch 'Birth' over and over again and constantly marvel
at the mastery of his work. I am huge fan of Eric Gautier's as well." -- Cinematographer Bobby Bukowski ("Infinity Polar Bear")
"Vilmos Zsigmond, ASC. For all the reasons you can think of." -- Cinematographer James Chressanthis ("Cesar's Last Fast")
"I have so many! If I had to name one, recently, I've really enjoyed the work of Sean Bobbitt, BSC. His handheld camerawork and simple, straightforward approach to lighting is something I really admire. Every movie he does is an immersive, textured and energetic visual experience." -- Cinematographer Alex Disenhof ("Fishing Without Nets")
"Gordon Willis. Why? 'Annie Hall,' 'Manhattan,' and 'All the President's Men.'" -- Cinematographer John Guleserian ("Song One")
"This is a hard question because how am I to say that Jack Cardiff is better than Douglas Slocombe or that Roger Deakins is better than Lance Accord? They are all my heroes. That said, I think that Sven Nykvist is my all time favorite cinematographer. There's just something about his minimalism and use of soft light that lulls me into a hypnotic trance every time. Though he worked with countless amazing directors I look at his collaboration with Ingmar Bergman and I dream of having a similar lifelong creative partnership." -- Cinematographer Jay Hunter ("Life After Beth")
"I don't have one favorite cinematographer. I watch a lot of films and I learn something from each. From every movie I learn what I like, what I don't like, what works best and what doesn't. We live in a time when everything is shot, there's a camera and a screen every place you go, all the time. People film their newborn babies, and also political revolutions, on their phones. And I sit and watch and learn from all of it." -- Cinematographer Shachar Langlev ("Alive Inside: A Story & Memory of Music")

"I like Derek Cianfrance's work. He is an awesome cinematographer
who has the vision to also pull off being a director, of both documentaries and
narratives." -- Cinematographer Rex Miller ("Private Violence")
"Sean Bobbitt, BSC. I love his aesthetic and his simple approach to
lighting. Everything I
see him work on is shot beautifully. His eye for composition is amazing.
I particularly love his work and approach to "The Place Beyond the
That film was so well done and executed so simply. Nothing grandiose in
the tools used, just very thoughtful work. It's inspiring because it
shows us that anyone can do it. A small budget
might present some limitations, but all limitations can be overcome with
creativity and thoughtful filmmaking. If the story is there, and it's
great, no budget is too small. I feel the same way about Bob Yeoman,
ASC." -- Cinematographer Topher Osborn ("Dear White People")
"Roger Deakins' shot economy is really quite stunning. I absolutely
love Emmanuel Lubezki's work with Terrence Malick. I'm also a big fan of
younger DPs Autumn Durald and Bradford Young." -- Cinematographer Andrew Droz Palermo ("Rich Hill")
"I have a lot of favorite cinematographers, never really can land on calling one my favorite. But I gravitate towards cinematographers who have a versatile style and let the story and characters of each film depict what the aesthetics will be. It's what I strive for in myself. Lance Acord, Matthew Libatique and Rodrigo Prieto are a few." -- Cinematographer Brett Pawlak ("Hellion")
"This is always a hard one, and changes frequently.
Certainly Roger Deakins has always been a big influence, as well as
Lance Accord and the late Harris Savides. But I'm super impressed by
Greg Fraser's recent films and Mihai Malaimare Jr's work on 'The
Master.'" -- Cinematographer Sean Porter ("Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter")
"Harris Savides. I love everything about his work, from his
compositions, to his lighting, to the photochemical and exposure
manipulations he used. Always effortlessly beautiful, Harris'
cinematography also drew you into the films he shot in the best
possible way." -- Cinematographer Ben Richardson ("Happy Christmas")
"Gordon Willis is my favorite because he expressed the vision of so many different auteurs and defined the era of 70's cinema just as much as the directors and writers who were part of that movement." -- Cinematographer and director Andrew Rossi ("Ivory Tower")
"Its probably cliché to say [Roger] Deakins, but his effortless play
with light and shadow, ability to consistently create shots that tell so
much, and still be so jaw droppingly gorgeous is something to be
studied and admired." -- Cinematographer Ryan Samul ("Cold In July")

I bought my first issue of Rolling Stone in a long time to get a slice of the Keith Richards memoir Life (on sale October 26) and I will try to convince my book group (which tends to read fiction) to assign it. Friends and I talked about Life at dinner Saturday night (after which I had the pleasure of singing "Gimme Shelter" during a rousing session of Rock Band). And the NYT's Michiko Kakutani writes her most enjoyable book review in a while--a rave. UPDATE: Here's The NYorker's David Remnick.
We now know that Richards calls Mick Jagger "Brenda" and "Your Majesty," writes that lover Anita Pallenberg "had no fun with his tiny todger. I know he's got an enormous pair of balls — but it doesn't quite fill the gap," and that Richards despises social climbing as much as he loves the blues. (Jerry Hall told BBC Radio's Graham Norton: "Mick is very well-endowed, and I should know because I was with him 23 years. Keith is just jealous, you know.")
Here's my story from Cannes on the doc Stones in Exile, which revealed their recording process, which was driven by Richards.

Accent on Travel to offer luxury travel presentationsVacation reps to be on hand at film festival
Enriching lives through travel includes providing the local community of world travelers with updates specific to their preferred vacation experiences. With past travel experience to all seven continents, visiting more than 74 countries, and more than 62 different cruise ships, award-winning Accent On Travel's Annette Nero Stellhorn has designed a series of presentations.
They will take place at The Great House in Rehoboth Beach, where local award-winning architect Yavar Rzayev has opened up their joint office space to bring cruise and tour companies to their presentation area to update their local and potential clients with the latest in first-class and luxury worldwide travel opportunities.
"The social style of our presentations allows time for past passengers of these companies and those keenly interested in these specific products to meet the management and gain insights to new itineraries and services, and to have some Q & A time that would not normally be afforded them in contacting the cruise or tour company directly. Awareness is just the first step of planning an extraordinary vacation. We then round out our presentation services by focusing on our destination series to allow those considering a particular destination to learn more about a destination's sightseeing options, seasonal patterns, and value opportunities," said Stellhorn.
As a contributing sponsor of the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival, Accent On Travel will have a display, Under the Big Tent, featuring luxury vacation information. In addition, Stellhorn has invited the management of Crystal Cruises, Regent Seven Seas, Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, and Micato Safaris to feature their products at the Rehoboth film festival and offer travel/cruise presentations to those interested during that time as well.
Those interested in attending any of the presentations should contact Accent On Travel at 302-703-6154 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Phone number located in Ripley, United Kingdom.
several calls which "drop" when I answer
Call them relentlessly from an untraceable number, they too get a bit annoyed !
F3ed up with this number randoming phoning at all times of the day
Ringing me about 5 times a day every day! I haven't answered but I am imagining it is some dodgy sales person and they have gotten my number from somebody as I have recently given out my mobile a few times as I was trying to get a payday loan. thank God they don't have my home number, I think I am going to buy a new sim as I am only on pay as you go so I can get a new number for 99pence!
Calls and when you answer hangs up.
Looking on here it seems to be some financial loan company?
Beware and be sure to avoid!
Its a company called trust money, they buy your details and then bombard you with calls offering to settle your debts for you, then they try to question you about any "PPI" you may be owed once all this is done they tell you your going to be entered into a free draw for an ipad or something for taking the time to receive the call of course theres a couple of questions to answers such as who your utility providers are they then sell your details yet again and you get more calls trying to sell you cheaper gas and electric, it never ends I,m at this moment awaiting a new phone and number it cant get here quick enough.
Endless calls from this number I think it is a loan company, I'd be very wary of this.
3 phone calls in one hour
Sick of these random numbers calling…what kind of a job is that? Persistent pest!!
keeps calling my work mobile, but call drops whenever i answer.
Have these answers been helpful? Have you had a different experience with this number? Just tell us your problem with the 01773843375. Describe your experience, the frequency of the calls, timing...

DAVIDSON – Andrew Svoboda's golfing career changed with one tap-in on Sept. 8.
The 33-year-old survived a one-hole playoff against Will MacKenzie to win the Web.com Tour's Chiquita Classic at River Run Country Club and improve his PGA Tour priority status.
It was the shortest putt Svoboda made all week: a one-inch putt for par after a downhill, 15-foot birdie putt that would've clinched his win sooner. Instead, he watched MacKenzie nearly hole what could have been a winning chip-in from the front of the gallery.
The wait was worth it for Svoboda. He finished the third round tied for the lead with John Peterson, but had little to say afterward. His focus stayed on the final round with good reason.
Svoboda found himself ahead by three shots with two holes to play. An 18th-hole eagle by MacKenzie – coupled with Svoboda's bogey on the 17th – started the playoff drama.
Svoboda finished it.
"Just a huge win with a strong field," said Svoboda, a New York native who had already earned his PGA Tour card by finishing 25th in the Web.com Tour's regular-season money list.
The $180,000 winner's share Svoboda earned wasn't a bad payday, either.
Svoboda's season leading up to River Run was up-and-down at best. He won the Web.com Tour's Price Cutter Charity Championship Aug. 11, a tournament he didn't even plan on entering.
Svoboda couldn't find a good plane ticket home from Nevada, so he flew to the tournament, made the cut, and won. His other option: A 6 a.m. flight home that would've cost him $1,000.
Svoboda's PGA Tour results were less than top flight: 13 missed cuts in 18 tries. A tie for 37th at the Wyndham Championship was his best finish.
"I was struggling this year," Svoboda said. "I was looking on the PGA (website) links and it tells you your (ranking) number (to determine who qualifies). There were a bunch of tournaments where we were borderline (out). So we were flying in, praying we'd get into the event, but we might not. It's tough to plan your schedule like that. It was definitely a tough road."
Svoboda's road next year will go through the PGA Tour.
He arrived at River Run with a stress-free attitude, knowing he had his Tour card locked up.
"We had nothing to lose," Svoboda said. "There was some pressure because we wanted to get a good position for next year. Having been there last year I knew that, so it was important to play well."
MacKenzie said he enjoyed his battle with Svoboda.
"Every shot's so important on a golf course like (River Run)," he said. "The most important thing is trying to get your PGA Tour card."
For Svoboda, winning brought a much better feeling than the frustration he felt for much of the season.
"To win this is just icing on the cake," he said. "It's just an incredible win for me."

TEMPE -- The No. 4/4 Sun Devil softball program will take part in six games over three days this weekend as it hosts the Diamond Devil Invitational, with the team's Thursday night contest against Drake not considered a part of the tournament (though the second game against the Bulldogs is). ASU opens against the Bulldogs at 7 p.m. MT to kick off the weekend. The team will then play host to just one game on Friday, taking on Seton Hall at 6:30 p.m. MT to set up back-to-back days with doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday. The Sun Devils open Saturday against Boston College at 4:45 p.m. with a game against Idaho State to follow at approximately 7 p.m. On Sunday, ASU will take on Drake for the second time this weekend at 11:15 a.m., as well as a second game against Idaho State immediately following that.
All ASU games this weekend will take place at Farrington Stadium and be live-streamed online at http://pac-12.com/videos/arizona-state-university.

Scouting the Opposition
The Sun Devils will get a mini taste of what the regular season will be like this weekend in the case of playing the same team on multiple occassions in one weekend. This will be the case for both Drake and Idaho State this weekend. Drake finished second in the MVC last year with a 29-20 record and returns a good majority of that team with 12 letterwinners back to just three lost. The squad returns its top two hitters from 2013 in Nicole Randel and Amy Pierce as well as pitchers Rebekah Schmidt and Jordan Gronewold, who combined for all but one of the team's starts last season. Drake is currently 0-9 on the season. Idaho State was the 2013 Big Sky Champions - its first year in the league - and finished the season 29-23 and is the preseason favorite to win the division this year as well. The team lost just four starters from last season and returns eight, including Vicky Gallaso, who bat .461 for the Bengals last year with 18 home runs. ISU is currently 5-1 on the season. Seton Hall enters the weekend with a 3-4 record this season after finishing last year 21-30 and in eighth place in the BIG EAST. The team returns 15 letterwinners from that squad and has been led this year by Meredith Henze, who is batting .556 through seven games with four home runs and a 1.333 slugging percentage. Boston College lost just two players from last year's roster that finished the season 14-38 and is 2-3 this year, including a tough loss to then-No. 4 Michigan, 6-5, last weekend. Nichole D'Argento has been solid in the circle for the Eagles with a 0.86 ERA in three starts.
Craig Nicholson Takes the Reins
Craig Nicholson was hired on June 30. The head coach at Ball State for the past seven seasons, Nicholson amassed a 241-162 record with the Cardinals and holds a 964-252 career record. Nicholson replaces Clint Myers, who accepted a similar position at Auburn on June 14. On top of coaching at Ball State, Nicholson was the associate head coach for the Chicago Bandits of the National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) in 2008 and helped the team to a NPF title.
The fastest coach in BSU program history to pass the 100 and 200-win marks, Nicholson was instrumental in Ball State capturing three Mid-American Conference (MAC) regular season championships (2009, 2010, 2012), a trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2010 and the program's first All-American. Offensive minded, Nicholson saw much growth in the Ball State program under his tutelage.
Not since UCLA's Sue Enquist retired following a World Series appearance in 2006 has a program coming off an appearance in Oklahoma City gone through a coaching change, making the Sun Devils a very unique program in that regard this season.
In The Rankings
The Sun Devils moved up one spot in both the USA Today/NFCA Coaches Poll and the USA Softball/ESPN Poll to No. 4 in both. ASU had opened the season at No. 7 nationally in both boths and climbed up to No. 5 following the opening weekend. This is the highest the Devils have been ranked since the final regular season poll of last season.
The View From The Top
Over the past eight seasons, the Sun Devils have been among the most dominant teams in the nation. One need look no further than the weekly NFCA Coaches Poll to get a gage of that. The Sun Devils have been ranked in 126 consecutive Coaches Polls, a streak that dates back to Week 2 of the 2006 season. The Sun Devils entered the top-10 in Week 6 of that season and have since been ranked in the top 10 in 117 of the 126 polls that have taken place since the team entered the rankings in 2006.
A Look Back - Littlewood Classic
The No. 5 ASU softball team finished the Littlewood Classic with a perfect 4-0 record along with the non-tournament victory over Tennessee State on Thursday to compile a 5-0 record over three days. Bethany Kemp was the star of the weekend on offense, finishing the five games in the last three days with five hits, five runs and four home runs for a wicked 1.417 slugging percentage while accounting for 17 total bases. In two appearances, pitcher Dallas Escobedo allowed just two hits and two runs while striking out 23 batters in two complete games. Escobedo thwarted the defending NCAA Champions in No. 11 Oklahoma in a one-hit performance that saw the Sun Devils post a 7-0 victory.
Players to Watch
The Sun Devils entered the season with four returning NFCA All-Americans on the roster, the most of any team in the country. Only Alabama (3) is within one of the Sun Devils mark and is the only team with more cumulative returning selections (6) than ASU, who has five with Dallas Escobedo being a two-time All-American. Returning All-Americans, Escobedo, Cheyenne Coyle and Amber Freeman have all been named to the USA Softball Preseason Player of the Year Watch List for the upcoming season.
The Road to OKC Goes Through Dallas
For the past three years, Dallas Escobedo has been among the premier pitchers in the nation. The two-time All-American and three-time First-Team All-Pac-12 selection has helped to lead ASU to the WCWS in each of her three seasons at ASU, including a National Championship in 2011. In 2014, Escobedo has been out to a hot start and is 5-0 on the season with a 0.64 ERA and a Pac-12 leading 55 strikeouts. She is holding opponents to just a .064 batting average this season and has allowed just three earned runs while posting three complete game shutouts - allowing just a hit in each and the most impressive of which coming against No. 11 Oklahoma, where she retired 21 of 23 batters faced in a dominating effort.
Return of the Mack
Lest we forget, Escobedo is just half of arguably one of the most potent 1-2 pitching punches in the country. Fellow senior Mackenzie Popescue has shown she is just as much an ace in the last two seasons and is a pivotal part of ASU's success. Popescue has a 0.59 ERA this season with just three earned runs allowed and a team leading six wins to her record, pitching complete games in five of her six victories. Popescue has yet to give up a home run this season and has been an accomplished defender herself with three putouts, 15 assists and no errors in six games this season.
Perhap no Sun Devil in the lineup has been as hot as Alix Johnson, who has a hit in each of ASU's last nine games and has reached base in each of the Sun Devil's 11 games this season. Johnson is batting .500 on the season with a .622 OBP% and an .821 slugging %. She leads the team with six doubles this season - also first in the Pac-12 - and is already just two shy of her 2013 total in the category. Additionally, Johnson leads the team in multi-hit games this season with four and is tied for the team lead with four stolen bases on five attempts. Her nine walks pace the team and she has been clutch with five hits on eight at bats when she has runners in scoring position while successfully advancing runners on 12 of 17 at bats this season, also leading the team.
'Ber, It's Cold In Here
Amber Freeman has flown a bit under the radar thus far this season, but she has arguably been the most consistent force in the Sun Devil lineup. The junior is second on the team with a .412 batting average this season and tied for the team lead in having reached base safely in all of ASU's 11 games this season. Her 14 hits this season tie Alix Johnson for the team lead and she has picked up a hit in all but two of ASU's contests this season.
All-American Cheyenne Coyle had as good an opening weekend as anyone in the country at the Kajikawa Classic. The senior hit three home runs - including her fourth career grand slam - en route to a monstrous 1.313 slugging percentage to go along with a .619 OBP%. Coyle had a team-leading nine hits on the weekend and 11 RBI, more than twice the amount of anyone else on the squad. She accounted for 21 total bases and was 3-for-3 on stolen base attempts. While she did not receive any conference or national honors, she did receive recognition as one of the nation's top performers in the NFCA Weekly Update.
No Easy Outs
The tough outs don't end at the trio of All-American hitters. Opposing pitchers still have to cope with All-Conference players in Haley Steele, Bethany Kemp, Elizabeth Caporuscio. Bailey Wigness and Nikki Girard in the lineup. The second half of the Sun Devil lineup was responsible for answering the call after the team fell behind against N.C. State and helped spark the offense against Creighton when the All-American trio struggled. The back-half of the lineup did it again against Illinois State with Nikki Girard scoring a pivotal double to tie that game up in the fifth inning. Girard now has a hit in nine straight games for the Sun Devils, matching the team lead with Alix Johnson as she is batting .357 on the year, good for fourth on the squad. The team's consistent starts in the 5-8 hole this season have combined to go 41-of-115 (.357) with several clutch hits in the mix.
B's In the Trap
Bethany Kemp had one of the top performances of the weekend at the Littlwood Classic. Kemp batted .417 with five hits on 12 at bats. The more impressive feat, however, was the four of those hits went over the fence as the junior led the team with four home runs over the three days of competition. The junior is currently second in the Pac-12 with five homers this season and is third on the team with a .370 batting average thus far. Her 27 total bases earned pace the team, as does her 1.000 slugging percentage through 11 games.
The Future Looks Bright
The Sun Devils have no shortage of upperclassmen who can put the ball into play but if the team showed one thing during the opening weekend, it's that the youngsters on the squad have plenty of upside. Players who are either are new this season or received limited playing time last season have combined to go 17-of-41 (.414) in the first two weekends. Freshman Chelsea Gonzales has seen the most action, appearing in seven games with six starts. The youngster had a critical at bat in the opener against Creighton with a two-RBI hit in her first career at bat that would prove to be the difference in a 3-0 victory over the Jays. The youngster also launched her first career homer in a 7-0 defeat of Oklahoma
All Your Base Are Belong To Us
Head coach Craig Nicholson has been adamant that this team will be aggressive on the base pass and force the opposition to make plays. If the opening weekend was anything to go by, he's a man of his word. ASU has 18 stolen bases on 22 attempts thus far this season. In 62 games last season, the Sun Devils were 39-for-45 on stolen-base attempts. The current team would be on pace for 124 stolen base attempts in 62 games.
Two Outs? No Problem
While the Sun Devils have been impressive from the batter's box this season, the squad has taken it to another level with two outs on the board. ASU is 35-of-91 (.385) - compared to just a .372 team overall average - with two outs with 27 of the team's 73 RBI (.369) coming with two outs on the board. Additionally, with runners in scoring position, ASU is 37-of-101 (.366) while being exceptional at bringing runners home from third with less than two outs, going 19-of-27 in such situations (.704).
Add It To The Trophy Case
Dallas Escobedo went 3-0 in the first weekend of action as No. 7 Arizona State squad hosted the annual Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz., and was named the Pac-12 Pitcher of the Week for the effort. The Sun Devils went 6-0 on the weekend, outscoring its opponents 48-3 in the process. Escobedo gave up just one earned run while pitching three complete games, including two shutouts. She posted a 0.37 ERA with 32 strikeouts while holding opposing batters to just a .063 batting average, while giving up only four hits. Her 14 strikeouts in the 3-0 victory over Creighton on Thursday was the second-most strikeouts for a regular season in the senior's career. Escobedo's Pitcher of the Week honor is the sixth of her career, and the 80th weekly selection for Arizona State all-time.
100 Starts For Escobedo
Senior Dallas Escobedo now has 105 starts as a Sun Devil. In her career, Escobedo is second at ASU in wins (94), 24 shy of tying for first. Following the opening weekend of action, she moved into second all-time on the career strikeouts list and now has 918 in her career and the countdown to 1000 begins at 82.
Home Run Records
Five current Sun Devils rank among the top 20 on the all-time home run list at ASU. Freeman is 9th with 32, Alix Johnson is tied for 12th and Haley Steele are tied for 12th with 28, Cheyenne Coyle is 16th with 23 and Elizabeth Caporuscio is 18th with 21.
Home Run Derby
There have been plenty of longballs in the early going for the Sun Devils, who are currently second in the Pac-12 with 15 in the early going of the year. While early (and depending on the length of the season) ASU would finish the season with 88 home runs at its current clip, not far behind last year's tally of 95 - the second most in program history. ASU has a home run in all but two games this season.
Lights, Camera, Action
Days and times of softball's TV games is on thesundevils.com. ASU will have 17 televised games on the Pac-12 Network in 2014. That schedule includes 10 home games that will be broadcast on the network. If that's not enough for fans, than they are in luck as all of ASU's remaining home games will be live streamed online through the Pac-12 website at http://pac-12.com/videos/arizona-state-university
On The Airwaves
Not only will every single home Sun Devil contest be either live-streamed or broadcast live on television, but for the second consecutive year Blaze Sports Radio will provide the call for all of Arizona State's home games this season. Fans in the Tempe area can tune in at 1330 AM while they can also listen online at ustream.tv/channel/blaze-sports.
Note on WCWS
The Sun Devils have advanced the WCWS in seven of the last eight seasons, two more than any other program in the nation in that time frame. Alabama, Tennessee, Arizona and Florida have each been to five in the same span. Additionally, in that eight-year span, ASU has one of the top winning percentages in the country with a 427-102 record since 2006. The .807 winning percentage is tied for third nationally with Michigan behind only Alabama (.837) and Florida (.810).
Winning Percentage Since 2006 (Prior to 2014)
1. Alabama - .837 (432-84)
2. Florida - .810 (437-102)
3. Arizona State - .807 (427-102)
Michigan - .807 (385-92)
5. Tennessee - .804 (421-102-1)
6. Oklahoma - .803 (384-93-1)
8. Missouri - .748 (374-126)
10. Texas - .742 (347-120-2)
Opening Day Success
Arizona State is now 38-7 on opening day dating back to 1971. The last time ASU lost its first game of the season was back in 1995.
USA Softball Top 50 Watch List
Dallas Escobedo, Alix Johnson and Amber Freeman all made the cut on the Player of the Year watch list. This is the third time for Escobedo and second for Johnson and Freeman.
Where 2013 Left Off
The Sun Devils dropped two games in the 2013 WCWS en route to a 50-12 season overall. The appearance in the WCWS was ASU's seventh in the last eight seasons, two more than any other team in the nation in that time. The Sun Devils finished the year 16-8 in conference play and tied for second in the Pac-12 with Washington. The team opened the season with a porgram best 21-0 record to start the season and finished the year with an incredible 40-3 record at home. Catcher Amber Freeman was named the Pac-12 Player of the Year while Freeman, Dallas Escobedo and Cheyenne Coyle were all named NFCA All-Americans.

Diapers! Cloth vs. Disposable
I'm pregnant and trying to decide whether to use cloth diapers or disposable. Does anybody use cloth diapers? What are the pros/cons you've found with them? How do you clean them?

I recommend checking out the cloth diapering board under Community. The women there can answer all of your questions: http://community.babycenter.com/groups/a16235/cloth_diaperingposted 10/16/2010 by sugar&spiceX3
I decided to go with cloth diapers, and I am really happy that I did! In addition to being less expensive than disposables, you can also re-sell the diapers when you are done with them, recouping a lot of money you spent! When all said and done, you spend MUCH less than disposables (even if you get disposables on sale). I only do 2 loads of diaper laundry per week and I find it to actually be easier and more pleasurable than doing real laundry! I also recommend checking out the Cloth Diapering board. The ladies are AWESOME and can answer any question you might have.posted 10/21/2010 by Buttrcp
cloth diapering actually results in less skin problems than disposables, so it will not "destroy babies skin if left on too long". Also, research has linked the chemicals used in disposable diapers to higher rates of testicular cancer as well as infertility in males. It is a pain to wash them, but it's better for babies, the environment, and your pockets (as long as you are washing them efficiently)... I don't have a machine and am blessed with the time to hand wash. I don't need to use much water to get them sparkling white, and every time I do a wash it's like I'm putting $20 in the bank.posted 01/25/2011 by mochamum
I looked into both and decieded to go with disposable. The main reason was time and money. I know that in the long run cloth diapers are said to save money but the intial investment was a lot and I was afraid if I didn't like them and ended up going disposable I would have wasted all that money. Also I NEVER buy a pack of diapers for full price so I ended up getting diapers for less then 10cents a diaper and spending less then I would with cloth diapers. I also am a working mom and without a diaper service in our area I did not want to have to wash all those diapers! I just don't have the time! So consider both sides before you make a decision but take in to consideration that they may seems cheaper but you have to add in the time of washing the diaper, the electricity it takes to wash and dry them and the hassle of it all!!!posted 10/16/2010 by Colleen38
I also recommend cloth! IMO, when it comes to "performance" there is just NO comparison - cloth rocks! Really - I used disposables for my first three kiddos and then found out about modern cloth for my fourth...I'll never go back, and I can't believe I didn't research it sooner! It's really not that much extra work (to me it's worth it since I know I am saving money, it's gentler on my baby's skin, and I don't have to run off for "emergency" trips to the store just for diapers). And there are tons of online stores out there that offer trial packages so you can try out different diapers and then decide which ones to invest in. Come visit the Cloth Diapering group here on BBC! :)posted 10/23/2010 by Sweetpea20
a new born goes threw a diaper every 2 or hours or so, thats a lot to wash! Thats the main reason we went with disposable.posted 10/16/2010 by Ash_Petersen
I considered both and went with disposable. The costs of water and electricity to keep up with the cloth diapers laundry adds up discretely and can really knock your socks off when the bills come. Luckily, my next door neighbor had her baby 8 months before I did and I was able to learn from her ... bills! LOL! Plus, pampers has such an awesome "stay dry" diaper you never have to worry about being out of the house and having no time or place to change a diaper for an extended period of time - a pamper will keep him/her dry and protected - a cloth will destroy a baby's skin if left on wet too long.posted 11/04/2010 by 3screammom
