It's hard to believe a natural wiseacre like Jay Mohr would ever think of walking away from stand-up comedy, but that's where the actor/comedian found himself a few years ago, unsure of his motivation and reluctant to grace a stand-up stage for a stretch of nearly two years.
It's hard to believe a natural wiseacre like Jay Mohr would ever think of walking away from stand-up comedy, but that's where the actor/comedian found himself a few years ago, unsure of his motivation and reluctant to grace a stand-up stage for a stretch of nearly two years.
"We're a little different at 38 than we are at 28, aren't we?" the New Jersey-born Mohr said. "These days I'm madly in love with the love of my life, I have a great son, we're going to make more babies, and well, I'm just not as angry anymore. I'm not just up on stage yelling and trying to get girls and getting drunk and fighting. That's just not the person I wanted to be anymore. I didn't like doing stand up as much because I had changed as a person, but I was bringing the old act up on stage."
None of which means, by the way, that Mohr has lost his fastball – he'll still be the profane, razor-edged, Christopher Walken-spouting Jay Mohr when he returns to stand-up. It just so happens he feels a little better about life and a lot better about love.
"I tell stories now. A lot of Tracy Morgan stories, Norm Macdonald stories, Harvey Keitel stories – it's more of a one-man show than a stand-up act. It's not like, hey, airline food is so small, ha ha, [expletive][expletive]," he said. "Before, it was a lot of filler for filler's sake – a lot of shock value stuff I wanted to try out, and just go up there and stir [expletive] up. But don't worry. I'm all for a good sex or [expletive] run. I'm still dirty and I still swear like a trucker in my everyday life – it's an R-rated act for sure. It's just not R-rated for the sake of doing. It's like when, in doubt, talk about your [butt]. That's lazy."
Mohr married actress Nikki Cox, best known for her run on NBC's "Las Vegas," in 2006. (He was previously married to and has one son by former model Nicole Chamberlain).
The two met on the set of "Las Vegas" when Mohr made a guest appearance presciently playing a man who asks Cox's character to marry him.
"She said no that day," Mohr said, laughing. "But that was the only time."
Late last year, Mohr legally added "Cox" to his full name, which is now Jon Ferguson Cox Mohr.
"We're a family," he said. "What's funny – what's amazing – when I did that, you hit a few message boards and the vitriol that can fly back and forth from people you've never met talking about you taking your wife's name. The Internet is the world's largest bathroom stall. You can write something, with no accountability, and just log off. But I don't know these people, and I'm glad TigerCat69 or whoever has an opinion on what I do. The great thing is, if I never go onto that message board, it never exists. It's like a tree falling in the woods with no one around."
Mohr for the first time has a lead role in a TV sitcom: "Gary Unmarried," which premiered on CBS in September and got picked up for a full season in November. The show, which stars Mohr and Paula Marshall as a divorced couple trying to share custody of kids and start new relationships, copped a People's Choice Award in January.
"I never got to play a Gary before. I was always shooting something on film or I was the third lead or something," said Mohr, who's had extensive TV experience on everything from "Saturday Night Live" and "Ghost Whisperer" to "The Jeff Foxworthy Show" and the short-lived "Action," but never got much taste of a spotlight role. "It's kind of what you wait your whole life for. When they asked me, I didn't think it was the way to start, but then I properly sussed out the details, put it back on the table and said yes. With alacrity!"
Ah, yes, and the Walken thing – if there's one thing Mohr can't break free of, it's his impersonation of Christopher Walken. The halting, theatrical voice and oblong vowels that are a part of his Walken are just one in a broad collection of sharp impersonations – he does a hilarious Al Pacino, as well as Morgan, Macdonald and a boatload of others – but it's the Walken "that people seem to like," he says.
"I enjoy it more now, because now with all the others it's like holding seven cards instead of five, and I can blend the Walken in," he said. "Before it was like, my Walken's here, it's the end of the show – the Rolling Stones playing 'Satisfaction'! – Mohr's doing Walken and that'll be it. Now I can close with any one of 'em, and feel OK about that."
The first time Mohr did his Walken impression in public was on the set of "Suicide Kings" (1997) the cult, jet-black-comic thriller with a bunch of rich twentysomethings plotting the kidnapping of a big shot (Walken) and not realizing he's a mob boss.
"I see him maybe once every five years or so and he always gives me a nice smile and nod," Mohr said. "I did it around him then [on the set] and I think it confused him. He was thinking I was mocking him, and there's two people in the world you don't want to be on the bad side of: Christopher Walken and [actor/comedian] Joe Rogan."

- Australian Open, Day 14
Djokovic denies Murray for Australian Open hat-trick
Andy Murray failed in his bid to win back-to-back majors as Novak Djokovic made history of his own with a third successive Australian Open title.
Seeking to become the first man to follow up his maiden grand slam title with a second at consecutive majors following his victory at the US Open last September, Murray was beaten 6-7(2) 7-6(3) 6-3 6-2 at Melbourne Park.
The world No. 3 won the opening set, but his five-set semi-final victory over Roger Federer began to take its toll as Djokovic roared back to secure his sixth grand slam title.
Djokovic and Murray may be two of the best returners of serve in the game, but there were few openings for either players as the two sets went with serve; Murray winning the opening tiebreak before Djokovic hit back to level.
Murray appeared to run out of steam as Djokovic finally grabbed the first break late in the third set before streaking away to victory after three hours and 40 minutes on court.
After opting to receive, Murray won the opening point of the match with a blistering forehand, but it proved to be the only success of the first game as Djokovic held comfortably. It set the tone for the early encounters as Murray continued his excellent service form, winning his opening two service games to love.
It was Djokovic who had the first glimmer of a break in the match, but Murray dug deep to fend off four break points, before sealing the game with an ace. The Serb continued to defy belief - diving full stretch to get his racket to the ball before leaping back up to retrieve Murray's drive volley before winning the point with an exquisite drop shot.
He had a fifth chance to break after a successful HawkEye challenge - stopping midpoint to appeal when he felt Murray's shot was out, but once again Murray held on as the opener headed for a tiebreak.
Djokovic emitted a scream of frustration as he opened the tiebreak with a double fault, and Murray consolidated the mini-break with some huge groundstrokes from the baseline forcing his opponent scampering around the court.
Murray, who had never come from a set down to beat Djokovic in 17 previous encounters, played the aggressor in the tiebreak and it paid dividends as a 25th unforced error from Djokovic handed the Scot the opener.
With the momentum firmly in Murray's favour, the Scot romped through his opening service game to love before forging three break points as Djokovic looked jaded. In what proved to be one of the pivotal moments of the match, Djokovic dug deep, and after a brutal rally fashioned a sensational drop shot to level the scores at 1-1.
Murray looked poised to strike as Djokovic twice served to stay in the set at 5-4 and 6-5, but he was unable to find a breakthrough as a second breaker was necessary to separate the pair.
At 2-2 in the tiebreak, Murray halted midway through his second-serve routine to pick up a feather that had floated onto the court, and it disrupted his rhythm as he double faulted before a sloppy forehand handed Djokovic the advantage and he levelled the scores.
After nearly three hours of play and 31 successive service holds, Djokovic finally grabbed the first break of the match for a 5-3 lead before a love service hold saw the Serb move within sight of a fourth Australian Open title.
Murray, who received treatment for blisters on his foot after the second set, looked to be struggling but showed real intent early in the fourth set to battle back from 0-30 down, with a stunning retrieval low to his left to scoop the ball over the net to keep his hopes of victory alive.
The Scot then saw a break point pass him by but Djokovic dug himself out of trouble with a pair of big serves before taking control of the match when he broke for a 2-1 lead.
Djokovic demonstrated superb athleticism to keep the ball in play before turning defence into attack for the chance of a double break, which he was gifted with a double fault as the match began to run away from Murray.
The Scot battled hard, but he was unable to find a way back into the match as Djokovic kept his nerve to seal victory and justify his status as the best player in the world.

Aww, that's cute! Cute and a violation of copyright, per Character Arts, the company that represents licensing concerns for the Rudolph character (officially owned by the cleverly-named Rudolph, LLC). You can get the full story over at Boston Sports Then And Now, but the gist is that the Red Sox proposed the sale of a book for charity in which David Ortiz helps Rudolph vaguely "save Christmas." The deal fell through because Rudolph's owners "safeguard its current mythological reverence."
So the Red Sox went and appropriated Rudolph anyway, for their online holiday greeting card (the story changed, this time depicting Rudy as a minor-leaguer teased about never being able to make it to The Show). Alas, that appears to have disappeared from the internet, as links to the card are now re-routed to the Red Sox home page.
Looks like baseball isn't one of those reindeer games.

JEFFERSON CITY - A Columbia man was today indicted for attempting to defraud the Missouri Property Tax Credit program.

Bulldogs Hit 11 Three-Pointers and Force 26 Turnovers
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - On a night when they hit a season-high 11 three-pointers, it was the Yale women's basketball team's defense during the second half that was the difference in a 72-61 win over Bryant on Wednesday night.
Yale (4-4) held Bryant to one field goal over a span of 8:14 midway through the second half to turn a one-point lead into a 13-point cushion. The Elis outscored Bryant 15-3 during the run to build a comfortable cushion en route to the win.
A three-point play by Katie Werner sparked the spurt and Janna Graf hit a three-pointer to stretch the lead to 55-48 with 11:06 remaining. After a Sarah Halejian free throw, Bryant hit a three-pointer to interrupt the streak before Meredith Boardman hit a short jumper and Halejian and Hayden Latham hit back-to-back three-pointers to make it 64-51 with 5:09. Bryant was unable to get closer than nine points the rest of the way.
The game started in a different fashion as Bryant (2-5) converted layups on its first three possessions to jump out to a 6-0 lead and pushed its lead to 11-3 after a Jenniqua Bailey layup just 3:02 into the game.
Yale came with three-pointers by Graf and Nyasha Sarju as part of a 11-2 run. A layup by Halejian gave the home team its first lead of the night at 14-13. The teams traded the lead nine times in the first half, but Yale took the lead for the final time in the half on a Latham three-pointer with 6:46 to play. Layups by Zenab Keita and Katie Werner pushed the lead to 29-24.
Graf scored Yale's final five points of the first half and made it 37-31 before Bryant scored four straight to close the period and make it 37-35 at halftime.
Bryant tied the game on the first possession after halftime and took a momentary lead in the second half with consecutive baskets by Breanna Rucker and Jenniqua Bailey to make it 41-39, but a jumper by Keita and three-pointer by Graf gave Yale the lead for good with 16:57 to play.
Halejian led a balanced offensive attack with 15 points and added six assists and a career-high seven steals. Graf added 14 points on 4-of-7 shooting from three-point range, while Latham hit three trifectas and chipped in 11 points with three assists and no turnovers. Boardman grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds.
Courtney Schissler scored 16 points for Bryant, while Meredith Soper added 13. Bryant's 26 turnovers were converted into 26 points by Yale and was the difference in the game.
The Bulldogs are back in action on Saturday afternoon when they host Army at 2 p.m.

Marie: Well, along the highway were poor people and they were also begging for money. Liz and I aren't like that. We can suck this up. Even if we had to walk, we can walk. I'm not going to ask people who have nothing for something. It wasn't worth it. ... Also, our dad never drove. He was blind in one eye, so he never got a driver's license and he walked literally everywhere. He was like, "If I can do it, you can do it." He took the train every day to work and we lived in the city, so he walked everywhere. So we were like, "OK, we can suck it up and try it."

InspirationA message from the developer Brad Fregger:
My dad inspired Solitaire Royale in this way. My folks were visiting us during the holiday season, 1986, and my dad loved to play cards. One night we promised to play with him, but my mother was playing Shanghai, she'd told us, "Just one more game!" My dad looked at me and said, "I'll never be addicted to a computer game!" The rest of the night all I could think of was what game could I create that would addict my dad? Then it dawned on me that he loved cards, I decided to put card solitaire on the computer (multi-player games were very difficult to sell at this time, so I knew poker wouldn't work...additionally, I wanted something simple, something that didn't need any AI...solitaire was the answer). I went to my publisher (Spectrum Holobyte) with the idea...and the rest is history...computer card solitaire ultimately became "the most played computer game in history." That's a quote from Microsoft.Brad Fregger (178) added Solitaire Royale (DOS) on Jun 04, 2001Other platforms contributed by Rockin' Kat (2656), Kabushi (231224), Martin Smith (66826), Terok Nor (27945) and Mr Giggles (3961)

By jason on Friday, January 13, 2012Purchased 2011 Citadel at end of model year and found a great deal. Prior to driving this automobile, Dodge/Jeep were at the bottom of my wish list. The vehicle is loaded with options. I could not find anything even close in other large SUVs for the price. Great for family with kids and for parents not ready for a minivan. Plenty of room even for adults in the 2nd and 3rd row seating. Entertainment system is very worthwhile for people with children. Much more comfortable ride than similar large SUVs. Safety features are wonderful. Only downside is it is a bit slow in accellerating from a stop (V6 engine). Not so much of an issue between 50-70 mph. Handles very well in winter weather as well.

Love driving my Citadel!
By RG on Tuesday, July 16, 2019First off, I was only looking for a Ford Explorer, Dodge was not on my radar... we test drove several 3rd row suvs and I have always preferred fully loaded vehicles, I was after the room more than options and with a budget in the mid-20's I realized quickly I couldn't not have a larger suv and all my options... then I drove the Durango Citadel! My complaint with the explorer was the pick up, but no complaints with the dodge Hemi in this vehicle!!! It is absolutely the most fun vehicle I have ever owned!! Captain chairs with console, dvd system, safety features I won't bother to mention them all! sunroof (that can actually be open on the interstate at 75mph without loud wind noise) unlike my Ford Edge, comfortable seats, heated and cooled!! I have never been a dodge fan but I'm absolutely in love with my Citadel! I would recommend test driving this Durango before purchasing any other suv if you are after a tough looking SUV that gets better gas mileage than a Tahoe and has the pickup of a charger and so many options I can't list them all and my kids love the seating and dvd system AND did I mention the Beats Audio SYSTEM!!! This is an awesome SUV priced very fair and drives so smooth you will be sad when you reach your driveway!

Hier gehts zum Auftritt in der Harald Schmidt Show!
Und hier zum Auftritt bei Volle Kanne!
Dick Brave & The Backbeats Album: "Rock 'n' Roll Therapy" Lock up the ladies, here he comes again: Dick Brave! The singer with the big pompadour and the even bigger heart for rock 'n' roll is back: Dick Brave. Seventeen new songs by him and his peerless Backbeats unfold their irresistible magic on the second album "Rock 'n' Roll Therapy". The first album "Dick This!" went straight to No.1, selling half a million copies, and lent Dick Brave a life of his own. Without officially acknowledging the artist's actual identity for a long time, Dick Brave was furnished with a Canadian home, authentic rockabilly looks, a damn good accent and an affectionately detailed biography. It was a media thrill, the fans absolutely loved it and the first extensive tour in 2004 was completely sold-out. Eclipsed only by Dick Brave and his gang performing at pop star P!nk's wedding. On the climax of his success, the popular singer vanished - just to come back after seven years of absence in 2011, with a big bang an his second album "Rock 'n' Roll Therapy". Dick Brave is back where he belongs. "Rock 'n' Roll Therapy" is simply a blast to listen to - delivering authentic, heartfelt and not least very danceable cover versions. Tracks like Green Day's "American Idiot", Kings Of Leon's "Use Somebody", "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars, "Just Can't Get Enough" by Depeche Mode and even Elvis Presley's legendary "Always On My Mind" emanate a modern and vibrant lust for life. The self-composed "Tonight", "This Girl Is Trouble" and "Look At You" emphasize stylistic acumen and creative potential. A club tour in early summer 2011 brought Dick Brave & The Backbeats back on stage, gearing up for the already sold-out tour through Germany in November 2011 . "Rock 'n' Roll Therapy" was befittingly released on The King's label RCA and was certified with another Gold award in November 2012. 2012 was packed with excessive touring throughout Europe incl. festival appearances at Rock am Ring, Rock im Park, Deichbrand, Akzena Rock Festival (Spain), Rock Gampel (CH), Gurtenfestival (CH), just to name a few. 2013 Dick and his boys take a break from the live circuit – setting up their new album – due to be released early 2014.

In 1982 at the height of the video arcade games popularity a movie came out that fans clamored to see. It was a hit film that year and when released on video and later DVD became a hit as well, even though it hadn't been available for some time. And now a new generation has access to not only the original film but a sequel that takes us back to the Grid, back to a place no one has ever seen, back to the world of TRON.
TRON LEGACY picks up some years after the original. The opening scenes take place a few years later but soon after the world changes. Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) promised his son he'd be back but for some reason he disappeared. Never seen again the company he began with friend Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner) is different. Encom is now about to go global and rather than become the open and file sharing system Flynn intended it to be, it's main goal is profits and security.
Security that's not quite as good as they would hope. For into the secret board meeting sneaks a single minded individual with something on his mind, a way to open up the portals to the net and share the newest version of Encom's favorite program. That person is Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the major shareholder in the company who yearly stirs the pot and disrupts the aims of the company, aims that he knows his father would not have shared.
After being caught and released from jail, Sam goes home to find Alan waiting for him. They talk, banter back and forth and then Alan tells Sam he received a page from his father's old storefront, the video arcade he owned where it all began. Passing along a key Flynn left him for safekeeping, he encourages Sam to check it out.
Sam's curiosity is piqued and he does indeed go to the old battered arcade, game machines draped in plastic that come to life along with the jukebox when he flips the power switch. Noticing the Tron game his father designed and promised to play with him the day before he disappeared, he tries to play it only to have his quarter slip out. It lands on the floor and he notices groves where the machine has moved. Pushing it aside he finds a door that leads to his father's inner sanctum, where he made everything, where he planned to release the new idea he had that would have changed the world. Touching his computer screen, it comes to life and Sam finds himself digitized just as his father was and tossed into the Grid, the computer world.
First on the agenda is Sam being picked up and sent to the games, a virtual battle of life and death involving the information discs that each player carries on their back. He survives and attempts an escape but not before being captured by the best of the best and taken to the ruler of this world. Once there the ruler is revealed as…Flynn! But not quite. Though he may appear to be Flynn on the surface, in reality this is Clu, the program produced by Flynn years ago to create the perfect world. And Sam isn't a part of the world Clu sees.
Once again in the games, this time on light cycles, Sam takes on the best team there is and then escapes with the help of Quorra (Olivia Wilde), a program sent to aid him in his escape. They do so and she takes him off the grid to a secret location where he finally meets his father, the real one. They talk and spend a short time together during which Flynn tells Sam that he never sent the page. It has to be something Clu has put together. It ends up being a chance to use the portal to the real world where Clu hopes to take his digital army and make them real in an attempt to control it all. Only Flynn and his son now stand in his way.
The original film was an amazing piece of work filled with special effects that were dazzling at the time. A bit dated by today's standards, the folks behind LEGACY have taken all of the main ideas, the design of the Grid, the games, the discs and vehicles and updated them for a more digitized world. Effects have grown during the 28 years since the original and it shows in all of the amazing effects seen here. Perhaps the most amazing isn't the vehicles seen in nearly all commercials for the film but the fact that they make Jeff Bridges look like he did 28 years ago when he appears as Clu.
But without actors, without a heart, what kind of movie would it have made? Here we have a story, seemingly simple, where the efforts of a few dedicated individuals attempt to make things right. Where good guys take on bad guys to save the day. And where a father and son have the opportunity to meet once again after so long apart.
Filled with plenty of action and enough science fiction know how to please fans of the genre, TRON LEGACY lives up to the expectations that many fans will have for the film. I found it to not only live up to the original but to take it into a new dimension as well. It was fun, it was fast and it made me want to watch the old one beside this one and that makes this a legacy fulfilled.

Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of purchasers of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. ("AMD" or the "Company") (NYSE: AMD) securities during the period between October 27, 2011 and October 18, 2012, inclusive (the "Class Period"). If you are a shareholder who purchased Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. securities during the class period, you may obtain additional about this lawsuit and your ability to become a lead plaintiff, at no cost to you, by contacting Brower Piven at www.browerpiven.com, by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, by calling 410/415-6616, or at Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, 1925 Old Valley Road, Stevenson, Maryland 21153. Attorneys at Brower Piven have combined experience litigating securities and class action cases of over 60 years. No class has yet been certified in the above action. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff no later than March 17, 2014 and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement and how much of a settlement to accept for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in Company units during the Class Period. The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the defendants' failure to disclose during the Class Period adverse information concerning the Company's 32 nanometer Llano Accelerated Processing Unit ("Llano APU"), which is a type of microprocessor that combines AMD's central processing unit and its graphics processing unit onto a single piece of silicon, including repeatedly highlighting the "strong" and "significant" interest in, demand for, and unit shipments of, the Llano APUs, and falsely representing that AMD's desktop business was in a "strong position" and that it would "continue to rebound" in 2012.
According to the complaint, in July 2012, AMD announced that weak demand for Llano APUs in desktop devices, particularly in its Chinese and European markets, had resulted in AMD's reporting of lower than expected revenue for the June 30, 2012 quarter. The revelation of this information caused the price of AMD stock to decline by nearly 25% on extremely heavy trading volume. Then on October 18, 2012, the Company announced that its gross margins for the fiscal 2012 third quarter had declined more than 31% from its previous quarter, in large part due to AMD's recording of an approximate $100 million inventory write-down, mainly attributable to the overstated value of the Llano. On this news, the price of AMD stock declined nearly another 17% on extremely heavy trading volume.If you choose to retain counsel, you may retain Brower Piven without financial obligation or cost to you, or you may retain other counsel of your choice. You need take no action at this time to be a member of the class.

| Our Cup Runneth Over!
First broadcast
English themes
Japanese themes
Our Cup Runneth Over! (Japanese: コンテストマスター・ミクリ登場!! Enter Contest Master Mikuri!!) is the 75th episode of Diamond & Pearl series, and the 541st episode of the Pokémon anime. It first aired in Japan on April 17, 2008 and the United States on September 6, 2008.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Wallace, a Coordinator star and former Gym Leader, is bringing his Wallace Cup event to the shores of Sinnohs Lake Valor. This Contest opportunity gets Dawn excited about entering a Contest again, but she's still uncertain about what she needs to change about her style to win. As Zoey said, Dawn has to concentrate on showing off her Pokémon—but how?
Meanwhile, the local media is sniffing around the area, hoping to get a shot of Wallace. Wallace just wants to avoid the spotlight and relax with his Milotic, but Dawn and her friends accidentally bump into him anyway. Even though it's his day off, Wallace still offers to take a look at some of Dawns Contest moves. That makes Dawn nervous, so Ash offers to let her strut her stuff in a friendly battle instead.
After Wallace sees Dawns Piplup go a couple rounds against Ash's Buizel, he suggests that Ash use Buizel to enter the Wallace Cup, too. As for Dawn, Wallace is impressed by her obvious hard work, but he reminds her to take time to play with her Pokémon and not worry about making every move dramatic. Then Jessie, using her latest Coordinator persona, tries to impress Wallace—but Milotic ends up impressing everyone with its moves, which also help send Team Rocket on their way. A day with the famous Wallace is already a fabulous treat, but there's one more surprise in store: May is coming for a visit!
Rhonda is reporting some major news about Contest Master Wallace, the former Sootopolis City Gym Leader and current Hoenn League Pokémon Champion who ventured into Pokémon Contests and was able to win the Grand Festival to become a Top Coordinator. Considered to be the pride and envy of Pokémon Coordinators everywhere, Wallace travels around the world hosting the Wallace Cup, a special event which is open to all Coordinators from Sinnoh, Kanto, Hoenn, and Johto. Rhonda announces the competition is due to take place at Lake Valor and entrants are being accepted.
Dawn is watching TV in a Pokémon Center with Pachirisu, Ambipom, and Piplup and is excited to find out Wallace is going to be nearby at Lake Valor. Dawn turns her attention to Ash and his Pokémon training outside (accompanied by Buneary) for Ash's upcoming challenge at the Pastoria Gym. Buizel is battling Turtwig and Pikachu. Turtwig uses Energy Ball and Pikachu uses Iron Tail. Buizel blocks with its tail but Pikachu spins his tail in circles and sends Buizel flying. Ash praises everyone and Turtwig on his progress on mastering Energy Ball and knows they'll be well prepared for the Pastoria Gym. Buneary is impressed too and shows her feelings to Pikachu. Brock comments on how Pikachu learned some moves from Sho's Raichu. Ash is planning on using Electric and Grass Pokémon in order to gain advantage in the upcoming Gym Battle, as the Pastoria City Gym Leader is known to use Water-type Pokémon. Ash is planning on using Pikachu and Turtwig but is not sure who else. Gligar becomes excited and jumps Ash showing that it wants to battle at the Pastoria Gym. Dawn walks out and thinks to herself about how Ash is incredible and his training style is amazing. Ambipom is also admiring Ash's style, and connects her tails to show this.
Dawn is inspired and starts to do some training of her own. Ash encourages her and Dawn returns the compliment. Dawn tells Ambipom, Buneary, Pachirisu, and Piplup she knows they've been worried about her lately since her loss in the Solaceon Contest but says things are changing. Dawn tells Piplup to use Whirlpool, Buneary to use Bounce, Ambipom to use Swift, and Pachirisu to use Discharge. She presses for to make it bigger and more powerful. Her Pokémon power it up and the moves combine with each other. Dawn is happy with the progress but suddenly remembers Zoey's advice that Pokémon are the main attraction in Contests. Panicking, Dawn runs out and tells them to stop, but she ends up getting zapped with Discharge, drenched with Whirlpool, blasted with Swift and stomped with Bounce in the process. Ash and Brock run over and Dawn tells them not to worry about her. Her hair becomes frizzed. She says that she was focusing too much on making the moves big and powerful and not on the Pokémon. Ash and Brock comfort her.
Nurse Joy comes over with Rhonda and her crew. Brock flirts with her but Croagunk stops him with Poison Jab and drags him away. Ash greets Rhonda and she asks them if they've seen Wallace around. Dawn quickly fixes her hair and asks for more information. Ash and Brock don't know who Wallace is so Rhonda shows them a magazine with Wallace and his Milotic on the cover. Dawn says that every Coordinator, including herself, wants to meet superstar Wallace. Rhonda informs everybody that Wallace regularly travels across the Kanto and Hoenn regions holding and promoting Pokémon Contests bearing his name, the Wallace Cup, that the Wallace Cup Aqua Ribbon counts as an official Ribbon at any Contest competitions all over Sinnoh, Kanto, Hoenn and Johto, and that this year's Wallace Cup is taking place at Lake Valor. Brock says that Lake Valor is right on the way to Pastoria City. Dawn announces that she's planning on participating in the Wallace Cup. Dawn asks Rhonda more about Wallace and she says that it's Wallace's day off so his whole staff won't tell her where he is but her sources tell her he's somewhere nearby and that a piece on Wallace relaxing would be priceless. She asks Ash and his friends to tip her off if they see Wallace and leaves to continue searching for Wallace with her crew.
Team Rocket is spying from the roof of the Pokémon Center and after hearing all the talk about Wallace, Jessie is excited to have a chance of seeing Wallace up close. She is planning on entering the Wallace Cup as well and dedicate the victory to her released Dustox. She plans on charming Wallace in order to help her win just like in the Solaceon Town Contest. James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet whisper in the corner about how she won the Solaceon Contest because she was calm and that her charm had nothing to do with it, but in order to protect their health they feign that it was because of her charm.
Ash, Dawn, and Brock look for Wallace in the forest and come across fog near the lake. They hear singing and discover that it's coming from a Milotic. Dawn checks her Pokédex and then finds Wallace sitting on a rock nearby. Milotic dives underwater and Wallace greets them. He tells them all about his hectic schedule. Since arriving in Sinnoh, he has made appearances on talk shows, agreed to do press conferences, and even back at the hotel his fans gather just to see him. For these reasons, he begged his staff for a day off to spend quality time with Milotic. As Milotic plays with Pikachu and Piplup, Dawn admires the Tender Pokémon and Wallace tells her that kinship is the most important thing when caring for Pokémon. Dawn promises not to tell anyone Wallace is here so as to not disturb his day off. Ash tells Wallace that Dawn's entering the Wallace Cup and Wallace asks her to show him some Contest moves. Dawn is hesitant at first, and to help motivate her, Ash suggests a Contest Battle between themselves.
Ash sends out Buizel and Dawn chooses Piplup. Dawn is nervous to battle in front of Wallace and Brock tells him how Dawn and Ash traded Buizel and Aipom because of Aipom's love for Contests, while Buizel was more interested in regular battles. Wallace watches the short battle carefully and claps and praises them after.
Wallace thinks that since Buizel is fond of battles it would be interesting to see its moves in a Contest Battle and reminds Dawn that Buizel's unique battle style comes from her training with it. Wallace suggests that Ash should participate in the Wallace Cup. Ash knows Contests and regular battles are different and is doubtful he would be any good but Dawn says she would love to see him participate and encourages him also saying how she never had Buizel be in a Contest with her. Wallace praises Piplup's moves and says that Dawn has clearly spent time polishing them. However, he tells her that she may be focusing too much on well-rehearsed moves, and suggests to keep it more natural. Wallace advises her to concentrate on a Pokémon's basic attributes and to play with her Pokémon more often instead of working too much.
Jessie comes up in her Jessilina disguise. She introduces herself and then invades Wallace's and Milotic's personal space while praising them. She calls out her Seviper and it's dressed up like a Milotic. James and Meowth in their own disguises drag her away, infuriating her.
Wallace and Milotic puts on a performance to show what a day of relaxing and playing can do for Pokémon. Milotic uses Safeguard and a green light and mist gather around. It uses Aqua Ring and water bubbles circle it. It then uses Dragon Pulse, the water bubbles disperse and it flies around Ash and friends. Meowth touches Milotic and comments on how soft it is. It finishes with Twister gathering wind and water around itself and blowing it outward. Jessie asks Wallace how to teach Seviper Aqua Ring but Wallace tells her it's impossible. Wallace bids everyone farewell and he and Milotic depart in a wave.
Rhonda and her crew are in the bushes. She confirms whether her cameraman filmed everything but the battery was dead. Rhonda accidentally hits herself on the boom mic in her rage.
Ash, Dawn, and Brock are watching Marian interview Wallace on TV back in the Pokémon Center now at night. Dawn thinks she still has a long way to go before being able to appreciate what's truly special about her Pokémon. Ash and Brock repeat some advice from Wallace to Dawn. Nurse Joy comes by and tells Ash that he has a message to call the Pokémon Center in Snowpoint City. Elsewhere, in Snowpoint, girl is sitting on a couch watching TV in the local Pokémon Center and Nurse Joy tells her she has a phone call from Ash. She stands up and reveals herself to be May.

"You have to adjust…." Karnataka high court told a victim of domestic violence.
I don't quite understand this. Don't we have a laws that makes Domestic violence and cruelty a crime?
"Ask your father if he has never beaten your mother!"
So do most Indian fathers beat their wives? And somehow that is not only acceptable, but can also be used as an example for their daughters and sons in law to follow.
"I know you have undergone pain. But that is nothing in front of what you undergo as a woman."
What is this even supposed to mean? What is it that women undergo that makes Domestic Violence seem like 'nothing'?
Women suffer in all marriages.
Is the 28 year old wife supposed to believe this? And even if she does believe that many other Indian marriages are miserable, why should she see that a a reason to be unhappy too?
Link shared by Harjot Kaur.
HC judge tells abused wife to 'adjust'
Women suffer in all marriages.
You are married with two children and know what it means to suffer as a woman. Why are you still talking about his beatings? I know you have undergone pain. But that is nothing in front of what you undergo as a woman. I have not undergone such pain. But madam (Justice BS Indrakala) has."
The court asked the woman if her parents were present, at which her father walked up to the bench. The judge remarked, "Ask your father if he has never beaten your mother!" When the woman's advocate produced photographs showing her swollen face, the court said, "You have to adjust.
There is nothing in your case to argue on merits. Have you read about actor Darshan. He spent 30 days in jail after beating his wife. But they are living
together now."
The case was to be heard again in the afternoon, but was adjourned to a later date.

Customers walk in grab a cup and fill it themselves with a choice of different flavored yogurts that are low or no fat and a great alternative to high calorie ice cream. Next they add as much or as little topping from our large selection of fresh fruits, nuts, cereals, candy, and syrups. Then just bring it to the register where we weigh and they pay.
Our atmosphere is light, colorful and friendly. Store colors are cotton candy ish. Light and Sweet. Think fun,sweet, and tasty but still healthy.
Target audience is 70% to 80% women. Women that are health conscious and care about there figure but still enjoy sweet treats. Self serve is fun for them and they like the ability to select portion size. This style of store is replacing TCBY's old way of doing things. Think of the young lady that just finished yoga and is going shopping or getting there nails done stopping in to have a sweet healthy treat. Or the mom or whole family that just had lunch or dinner out and they bring the kids in to have an alternative to ice cream. Kids love it because they have the control of making there own creation. Teenagers love it because of the same reasons and that the price is usually much cheaper than a full service yogurt or ice cream store.
In short think Yoga,Women, Teenagers, Families with young kids Groups of Women shopping and anyone that wants a Healthy sweet treat and freedom to make it there way and control portion and cost.
Sweet Toppings. Something that a child would recognize and remember. I want you Artists to have some creative freedom here and I am excited to see what you guys come up with. Go Nuts! Thanks

I'm almost ready
Game 2 of the day/night doubleheader certainly sucked for Blue Jay fans, didn't it? I'll save you the trouble and answer - yes, yes it did. I think everyone acknowledged that a sweep of the Sox, or at the very least, taking three of four, was a requirement to keep the dream alive come Monday morning. Well, that's not going to fucking happen now, is it.
It would be easy to quibble with Cito's use of the bullpen in the loss, but I can see where he was coming from, really. He brought in his best (even if Scott Downs hasn't been "the best" for a week or so now) in high leverage situations, actual inning be damned. Maybe I would have used Jesse Carlson in Downs' spot tonight, maybe I would have let League toss another inning, maybe I would have had BJ cold-cock Shawn Camp (with his non-pitching hand) to ensure he was unavailable. At the end of the day, none of those were season-ending decisions.
No, the reason the Jays will (likely) finish yet another season out of the playoffs is because, quite simply, the team just couldn't get it's shit together in the first half. Discussing whether JP Ricciardi, John Gibbons, the offence underperforming, or just plain bad luck is to blame is for another time.
While I'll probably be running through the gamut of "what could have been" thoughts for the remaining thirteen games on the schedule, the truth of the matter is there's a lot to be optimistic about with this baseball team. I'm sure I'll get there in few days. Just let me be depressed for a while.

I'm sure there are "stages" to this, but fuck those cliches. Tonight was a letdown...one we all kinda knew was coming eventually but convinced ourselves just enough that it might not. Ah well. it was fun to have a big series like this to get ramped up about. I'll enjoy the rest of the games, just as I was before this run, and yet again I'll be as impatient as fuck for April to get here.

brendan....I hear you. total letdown. what's weird is, I'm fuckin' depressed and all, but....it's almost a relief, like you say, that the inevitable has happened.
also like you, I'll watch the remaining 13, follow the post-season, then start scouring the newstands in february for the season previews. oh, and there's the winter meetings, and the offseason GM intrigue, and free ageny in general, and.....fuck I love this game.
Just not so much tonight.

Fuck that loss.
Also, I'm fine with bringing Downs in for that situation.

it was fun, man. i can't remember the last time i was so stressed about a jays game. i was on the edge of my set. we got meaningful baseball in september, even if it was only for 3 days.
i can't find it in me to shit on downs, and shit on the pen. they been too good all year for me to do that.
very disappointing. but i'm proud of these guys, still.
and travis snider is THE TRUTH.
- September 14, 2008 at 2:48 AM
I think Saturday night's game was the first complete Jays game I've watched since the days of Manny Lee...it was exciting to watch. A few observations:
1. Travis Snider is my new favorite player not wearing a Cubs uniform.
1a. Jason Bay was a fine pickup for the Sox.
2. Kevin Youkilis is my least favorite player - ever.
3. Jesee Barfield made me laugh when he said he was drunk the first time he dipped...

I have to admit I thought the game was in jeopardy when we were up by one in the seventh and had to rely on BJ closing a one run game. I knew we needed a couple of more in eighth and ninth to prevent another Giambi-Yankee disaster. Get your gloves out...It's almost time to start pulling the rope on the flag.

I can think of a few too many games we lost in the second half too. Remember getting swept at home by Cleveland?
- September 14, 2008 at 1:18 PM
I can't believe I'm saying this but AJ chumped Doc. Doc in the two biggest games of his career fell to the pressure. Doc is a great pitcher BUT he is not a big game pitcher. He had to pitch lights out to win and Lester( who has won a world series game) bested him.Lester is a big game pitcher but Doc? This was the first pressure he ever had to face in his entire career and he did a bad job in Chicago and Lester (who is really Big Time) did it. Hats off to AJ for a sterling effort when it counted. Enough with that stupid Terminator nickname already.......Lester might deserve that nickname after his cancer fight and winning a World Series game whereas Doc can't lockdown in these two situations competely ( and these aren't even playoff games). Bad job,Doc.....
- September 14, 2008 at 4:52 PM
Look, Doc didn't suck BUT he didn't pitch like a champ. THis team needs to drill fucking Pedroia in the nuts and fuck up BIg Flappi wrist! That Overbay call was horseshit. Bud wants the Sox to have homefield advantage! Damn fucktards...
- September 14, 2008 at 5:23 PM
- eyebleaf said...
overbay call was garbage, and papi deserved to be kicked out of the game last night after he cleated scoot.
as for Doc, i'm not going to go as far and say he's not a big game pitcher. this season was lost in april and june, when we couldn't beat the mariners and the indians. not because doc couldn't get the job done today.
- September 14, 2008 at 6:35 PM
- Torgen said...
Didn't we first play the Indians in May, a month in which we went 20-10? Our shitty April losses were getting swept at home by the A's and Rangers.

Doc pitched well enough to win (two earned in seven innings), so you can fuck off with your "big game pitcher" nonsense.
You're an idiot.
- September 14, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Tao, you are an idiot. You are so used to The Jays playing meaningless games that you give Doc slack. If this was Boston, New York, or Philly Halladay would have had his ass ripped. This is typical Toronto bullshit. Bottonline: Doc has been a rose upon a dungheap BUT he needed to get it done and didn't.Guess what the two last games he pitched were arguably the most meaningful of his career , what happened? Lester, former cancer victim, AND winner of a world Series game outpitched him. Right now, Lester is the better pitcher and beat Halladay. To win big games, either you tie OR put zeroes on the board. In this case two runs was too much. And how about the Chicago game? He didn't pitch that well that day that was for sure, he didn't pitch like an ace.
PS You can fuck off BECAUSE the last time the Jays made the playoffs was 1993. Since then, the Yanks, Red Sox have won 6 AND the Os went and now the lowly Rays will. You have no right to be precious about anyone on this fucking team because not only have they not won in 15 years BUT they even having fucking made the playoffs! Get a life......

wow, anonymous commenter over here is a big shot. jon lester is a better pitcher than roy halladay? right on, fucker. right on.
- September 14, 2008 at 10:46 PM
- Tao of Stieb said...
Anonymous...please. Tony Tarrasco's got nothing to do with it.
On three days rest, Halladay threw 116 pitches and gave up six hits, no walks and two earned run. That's a good outing.
Of course, Halladay didn't have the opportunity to pick up a bat, so there's not much that he could have done about an offense that took a nap between the first inning and the ninth.
And also: Lester pitched really well. No doubt. We actually told our pal the Red Sox fan this weekend that we thought he was the Sox' best starter.
But Lester's great outing doesn't diminish what Halladay did. Was Doc dominant? No, but he wasn't far off and was pitching on short rest.
"Biggest start of his career"? Come on...they are ALL big starts, and there's nothing in that performance that makes you think that Halladay somehow buckled.
And if your expectations are that he "put up zeroes", then your expectations are ludicrous.
Now take your dime store McCown routine elsewhere. Go get a moustache ride from Wendell Clark or something.

I'm posting my weekly workout program here to further improve it with your input. Keep in mind I'm a fast bowler with an action pretty similar to that of Brett Lee.
My Routine
Leg Extensions (140 lbs / 3 x 8)
Front Squats (50 lbs / 3 x 8)
Plank (2 x hold for 60 sec)
Standing Barbell Curls (40 lbs / 3 x 8)
Bent-Over Barbell Rows (50 lbs / 3 x 8)
Dumbbell Shoulder Presses (60 lbs / 3 x 8)
Dumbbell Triceps Extensions (45 lbs / 3 x 8)
Abdominal Crunches (3 x 50)
Pushups (3 x 20)
Pull-ups (3 x 5)
I workout 2-3 times a week and I don't do specific body parts but perform an entire body workout every-time. I do however mix it up in terms of order of exercises.
I do many stretches as well. I don't jog but I sprint full speed. I go to a back alley mark a spot and then sprint full speed towards it, walk back and then repeat. I do this 3/4 times -sprinting for about 18-20 secs - 2/3 times a week.
Brett Lee
As I mentioned earlier - my runup/action/followthrough is very similar to that of Brett. So I keep an eye out for articles which detail his routine, etc.
Here are a few interesting quotes I came across:
I find the best way to get match-fit is beach running. I'll run five kilometres on very soft sand and wear shoes to increase the workload. Barefoot running is easy, but shoes reduce traction and the muscles have to work twice as hard to balance the body. When I run in to bowl on a nice hard pitch, having loaded the muscles in training, it's like running on air.
Balance and stability play a key role in both controlling my bowling action and taking pressure off the knees and ankles. A good exercise is jumping off a chair on to a small trampoline, which simulates moving through the air before landing on your back foot to bowl. The trampoline takes the pressure, and landing in a stable position takes stress off the spine. The main muscles used in the bowling action are those from the backside up. I work on developing good lower-core strength, the muscles below the tummy and around the base of the spine. Strong gluteals keep your back straight, and every night I do 300 abdominal crunches. I don't do too much upper- body weight training because that shortens the muscles, and fast bowlers need long, elastic limbs.
"We want to mimic the movements that happen when he bowls," Karppinen said.
"We're trying to promote speed. That includes quick, light upper-body weights and heavier lower-body weights."
Quotes taken from these articles:
Anyway, back on topic - I want to know how would you improve my routine?

ULM students, faculty, staff, and friends,
One of my priorities as president of the University of Louisiana at Monroe is to ensure that our great institution takes every opportunity to improve our already vibrant campus.
Located along the banks of Bayou DeSiard, the extraordinary beauty of our campus creates a pleasant atmosphere in which students and employees work and learn. This environment is a legacy we must maintain so our facilities may continue to be used in a most efficient and beneficial manner for all.
The new master plan creates a "blueprint" for the future enhancement and growth of our physical campus. As we embark on this plan, we need to ask ourselves: how can we improve the beauty and functionality of one of the finest college campuses? Our goal is to maintain the ULM campus as an inviting, modern, and secure location, providing us support in pursuit of our mission.
This document assesses every facility owned by ULM and provides for efficient utilization and modernization of those facilities, always remembering our priorities of providing an excellent education and our identity as a proactive, courageous institution. During the master planning process, we involved many stakeholders at ULM to conceive a plan that is effective for the entire community.
This document outlines several possible campus enhancements including additional space to accommodate growing programs, additional green space on campus, improved vehicular travel, safer pedestrian travel, and improved signage, navigation, and security. Some buildings are proposed for demolition – others will face extensive renovations.
One of the largest projects will be the renovations to Sandel Hall – a dream 10 years in the making. The design concept envisions Sandel Hall as a "one-stop shop" for students, including the University Bookstore, the Recruitment and Admissions department, the University Registrar, Financial Aid, the scholarship office, campus radio stations, an innovation center, and other integral departments. Although primarily an office building, the Sandel renovation provides several multimedia classrooms, a multimedia conference room, and a state of the art biology laboratory.
The Sandel Hall renovations will begin this fall and will take about 18 months to complete once construction begins.
Overall, our intentions are to restructure the various departments into individual, centralized locations and to increase the aesthetic presence of the university by opening up our campus.
We are striving for a smaller, more technically efficient physical manifestation of our institution, while always maintaining the identity and the beauty of our campus.
This master plan is a living document. It will be changed and modified annually depending on the future needs of the university.
I encourage you to carefully review this plan. Your involvement will help to improve the efficacy of the document and maintain its viability as a plan for the future.
Thank you for your contributions and efforts to improve ULM.
Nick J. Bruno, Ph.D.

Burton, Freeze, Gunther Granted Tenureby Jim Amidon • December 21, 2012 Share:
Wabash College President Patrick E. White and Dean of the College Gary A. Phillips have announced the promotion and tenure of three members of the faculty. Biology Professor Patrick Burton, English Professor Eric Freeze, and Psychology Professor Karen Gunther have been promoted to Associate Professors and granted tenure at the liberal arts college for men.
"Faculty up for tenure demonstrate that they are excellent in teaching, research and/or creative work, and service," President Patrick White said. "Professors Patrick Burton, Eric Freeze, and Karen Gunther have all achieved much already in each of these key areas and we look forward to their continuing growth and development as teachers, creative scholars and writers, and campus citizens leading the College to new heights."
Dr. Patrick Burton joined the faculty in the Biology Department in 2007 after completing postdoctoral research at the University of Maryland. An honors graduate of Williams College, he earned his PhD from Boston University.
"I like how much the students love Wabash," Dr. Burton said. "Their love of the College leads them to have very high expectations of the faculty. This instills in me an important sense of responsibility to constantly improve."
His research focuses on the question of how some animals can develop their adult body plan multiple ways (e.g. embryonic, asexual, and regenerative development) while humans cannot. His research compares the molecular, cellular, and genomic mechanisms by which a species of sea anemone (Nematostella vectensis) accomplishes these three modes of development.
Students in Dr. Burton's upper-level courses often work in his research lab investigating developmental questions through a mix of independent research, hands-on experimentation, and primary literature review.
"I really enjoy working with the students. Their love of learning and strong work ethic allows me to challenge them in ways I did not anticipate. I love working one on one with students in the laboratory, which provides an opportunity to really help students learn what science is like. I also love that Wabash works to provide funding for student summer research internships. I had a similar experience as an undergraduate that helped define my eventual career path. I am glad to offer students a similar experience, regardless of where they go after Wabash."
Dr. Burton teaches courses in human biology, genetics, developmental biology, and developmental mechanisms. "It is an exciting time for the Biology Department," he said. "We have the opportunity to think carefully about the department's curricular goals and how best to achieve them. I am looking forward to working with my colleagues in continuing to enhance the department's curriculum over the coming years."
"Students and colleagues comment on Patrick's passion, persistence, and ever-present dry humor, that humanizes both lab and classroom and succeeds in motivating students to love science and achieve their best," said Dean Phillips. "Collaborative problem solving and research with students is a center piece of his pedagogy. A collector of first edition books and fine wines, an advocate for involving underrepresent students in the sciences, Pat models Wabash-style liberal learning to his students and in so doing sets the achievement bar high for all of us."
Dr. Eric Freeze is a native of Canada and earned his bachelor's degree and master of arts degree from Brigham Young University. He earned his PhD in Fiction Writing from Ohio University in 2004. Before coming to Wabash in 2008, Dr. Freeze taught for three years at Eureka College in Illinois. His creative writing classes have become especially popular, and he has woven immersion learning trips into his courses.
At Wabash, he teaches a range of creative writing courses, as well as classes on American Literature, Postmodern Fiction, and Contemporary Canadian Fiction. He has also taught Wabash's all-college courses, Freshman Tutorial and Enduring Questions.
"I'm thrilled to see our first cohort in the creative writing track graduate this year," Freeze said. "I find Wabash students generally willing to learn and to push themselves to get better. It's especially gratifying for me to see students catch the writing bug the way I did as an undergraduate. ... Every time one of my students says they read another book by one of our visiting authors or that they've been fiddling with a scene or a sentence until they felt like they were going blind, I'm thrilled. Something clicks. When they start to feel that compunction, that drive to push themselves to get better, that's when I know that they've become writers and no longer students looking for a grade."
Freeze has coordinated Wabash's Visiting Writers Series and is planning Writing Workshops in the coming semester. "I'm looking forward to the Wabash Writers' Workshop with Dan Simmons in the spring, and to all the talented writers we will have on campus: Pulitzer Prize finalist Karen Russell, award-winning essayist and novelist Brian Doyle, and a new up-and-coming author Matthew Vollmer. These authors bring a wealth of expertise and perspective to our aspiring writers. I hope for continued success in this program and for the development of other programs in English in the future."
Freeze's other focus is research and writing. His stories, essays and translations have been published in a variety of literary journals including Boston Review, The Southern Review, New Ohio Review, and Tampa Review. His first book, Dominant Traits, is a collection of short stories and was published in 2011 by Oberon Press. Future projects include a second collection of short stories, a book of essays about France and odd sports, and a superhero-themed literary anthology. He also recently received a Canada Council grant to work on a novel.
Dr. Freeze organizes Ultimate Frisbee competitions on the College mall, which is one of the many things he enjoys about teaching at Wabash. "I like being able to play pick-up sports with students and have them (gratefully) drop the 'professor' bit and call me by my last name: Freeze! I enjoy my wonderful colleagues, the good conversations, the compactness of our campus. I like our beautiful brick buildings and the aesthetics of the grounds (who says that men can't match!). When writer Aritha van Herk visited, she said everything felt like a movie set, it was that perfect. I also like how it's become increasingly family friendly — that I can take my kids to soccer games or Wabash productions or fraternity dinners and feel like I'm at home, Dr. Freeze said.
"Eric's teaching prowess is demonstrated in the English Department classroom, through his prolific creative writing, and, yes, on the mall as an organizer of Wabash Ultimate Frisbee," commented Dean Phillips. "Across these different teaching and learning venues, students witness a type of engagement with persons and principles that calls on them to craft their own words and lives with precision."
Dr. Karen Gunther is the 16th woman to earn tenure at Wabash, where she began teaching in 2007. She is a graduate of Oberlin College and her master's degree and PhD from the University of California San Diego, where she completed a Cognitive Science Interdisciplinary Program with a focus on psychology and neuroscience. Prior to her arrival at Wabash, Dr. Gunther spent four years as in a post-doctoral fellowship at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
"I wanted to teach at a liberal arts college, because I like the small classes and interaction with students," Dr. Gunther said. "In graduate school I was a TA for classes of 200-400 students, and you can really only get to know the small handful who come to office hours. Here I can get to know most of my students; most of them are gentlemen and fun to work with."
Dr. Gunther's primary research focuses on color vision. The type of research she conducts, psychophysics, is at the intersection of psychology, biology, and neuroscience — human behavioral responses to visual stimuli are used to elucidate the underlying neural mechanisms.
Dr. Gunther teaches a range of courses, including Sensory and Perception, Cognitive Neuropsychology, Neuroscience, and Research Methods and Statistics. She has taken Wabash students to conferences to present their research, both regional undergraduate conferences and national professional conferences. "I really like the research-emphasis we now have in the Psychology Department, and the ability to do our own research in collaboration with students in the capstone course," Dr. Gunther said.
Professor Gunther is also studying teaching and learning, and is examining the use of non-fiction novels as the textbooks for teaching Sensation and Perception — to give the students more of a story line on which to hang the facts presented in class lectures.
"Karen's teaching and scholarship are of a piece as demonstrated by her collaborative research and co-publication with students," said Dean Phillips. "Students praise her mentoring strengths: her insistence on carefulness, accuracy, and conscientiousness that motivates students to commit themselves to high academic and personal standards. She is not shy to tell students exactly how they may do that. And she expects nothing less of herself."
"At Wabash the decision to grant tenure to a faculty member is a very serious one that involves periodic formal reviews over a number of years and input from colleagues in the department, faculty from across the campus, students, and alumni," said President White. "Wabash undertakes this time consuming process so that we might be always assured that faculty awarded the great prize of tenure have shown not only what they have accomplished, but what they will continue to do as leaders of the College.
The promotion to Associate Professor is effective July 1, 2013.
