Happiness, Deprivation and the Alter Ego
AbstractThe paper focuses on satisfaction with income and proposes a utility model built on two value systems, the `Ego' system - described as one own income assessment relatively to one own past and future income - and the `Alter' system - described as one own income assessment relatively to a reference group. We show how the union of these two value systems and the use of relative deprivation measures can lead to a model able to accommodate a wide range of theories on income and happiness. The model is then tested using the Consortium of Household Panels for European Socio-economic Research (CHER), a collection of 19 panel surveys including over 1.2 m. individual observations. We find absolute income to sit at the intersection between the `Ego' and the `Alter' systems and to play the most prominent role in explaining satisfaction with income. Relative deprivation is also found to be important for understanding the income-happiness nexus while we find income expectations to be less relevant once we control for absolute income. Overall, the `Alter' system (the cross-section comparison with others) seems to be more relevant in valuing income than the `Ego' system (the longitudinal self-comparison of income).

A New London Superior Court judge on Monday sentenced Daquan R. Holmes to 54 years in prison for the 2011 murder of Johnny Amy, calling the shooting a senseless act of violence in which Holmes demonstrated an astounding disregard for human life.
A jury in May had convicted Holmes, 27, of murder and attempted murder for the May 21, 2011, shooting on Franklin Street in Norwich.
Amy's family, who attended multiple court appearances while the case was pending and watched the trial, said they were thankful that the justice system had worked but that they would never recover.
They were angry after the sentencing that Holmes, who maintains his innocence, had not shown any remorse.
"I still got a feeling in my heart because the guy stole a life and it was my son," said Mario Amy, the victim's father.
Amy, 25, who was of Haitian descent, worked at Foxwoods Casino and had a son who is now 5 years old and living with his mother, according to Amy's family.
According to testimony at the trial, Holmes and William A. "Trig" Long had retrieved a gun following a dispute with local resident Cornelius Wingate outside of Chacers Bar. Amy, 25, had spent the night with friends and was walking home with Joseph Cadet, who was wearing a red shirt, the same color as the intended target. Though Cadet told Holmes he had the wrong people, Holmes shot Amy with a Ruger .22-caliber pistol, according to testimony.
During the trial, the jury had watched footage captured by a surveillance camera at a nearby laundromat that showed Amy walking behind Cadet before collapsing suddenly in the middle of the street. The surveillance video did not show the shooter, but two women who were out with Holmes and Long that night testified that Long had handed the gun to Holmes before the two men jumped out of the car and gunfire erupted. Holmes fled to New York City after the shooting and was serving time for an armed robbery of a check-cashing business when Norwich police retrieved him and charged him with murder in June 2013.
In taking his case to trial, Holmes, of Queens, had rejected an offer from prosecutor Stephen M. Carney to plead guilty in exchange for a 37-year sentence.
"What happened on May 21, 2011, was just unspeakable," Carney said. "He had a very minor dispute with an individual and that escalated to his committing a murder."
Defense attorney Christopher Duby, whose motions to overturn the verdict were denied by Judge Barbara Bailey Jongbloed, said Holmes is a respectful man who has been haunted by the events of that night, but "not because he did it."
"For all of the state's evidence, there's nothing to show he was even in Norwich that night," Duby said.
Holmes declined to address the court.
The case of Holmes' 34-year-old co-defendant Long is pending in the same courthouse. He is being held in lieu of $750,000 at the MacDougall-Walker Correction Institution and is due back in court on Aug. 18.

Duluth, MN (KDAL) - Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe says he'll personally review the decision to close the Duluth mail processing facility. Congressman Rick Nolan says he spoke with Donahoe on Friday and asked him to rethink the move, which would put 70 workers out of a job. While Donahoe made no promises, Nolan says the conversation was very friendly and productive and that Donahoe listened to his concerns. The democrat asserts that, by law, the Postal Service is required to consider any and all harmful consequences a closure would have on rural communities. Under a plan put forward by the Postal Service last month, the Duluth processing center would be closed and their operations would be relocated to the Twin Cities. Only the retail location would remain open. This Friday morning Nolan, who represents the Eighth Congressional District, which spans across the Minnesota side of K-D-A-L's broadcast range, will hold a public forum to give constituents a chance to voice their opinions on the matter. That forum will be held in the basement of the United Methodist Church beginning at 9:00.

Hialeah Gardens, FL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/10/2014 -- Like humans, dealing with eye problems is a great issue for the dogs also. Vision problems ranging from hazy vision to complete blindness occur in many dogs. It can be due to age factor, hereditary factor or due to the injury. Pannus is an eye disease in dogs which builds up scar tissues and affects the cornea of the pet and leads to complete blindness. Conjunctivitis is another disease which is sometimes confused with the canine distemper. It is also known as pink eyes. Proper diagnose is necessary to examine the actual disease.
OPT021 Optimmune (0.2% Cyclosporine) Ophtalmic Ointment is an effective medicine to deal with these problems. It supports the antibodies to fight the disease causing bacteria. Important active ingredients used in this product are: Corn oil, USP petrolatum, 2 mg cyclosporine, Lanolin alcohol and NF petrolatum.
English Bull-dog, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Boston Terrier, West Highland White, Shih Tzu Terrier, Bloodhound, Lhasa Apso, Pug, American Cocker Spaniel and German Shepherd are the breeds of dogs for which this medicine is very necessary because they get effected by these eyes problems easily.
To administer to the pet first clean his/her eyes properly. Remove any debris of dirt particle then put ¼ inch strip of ointment on either the cornea or conjunctival sac according to the type of condition which is being treated.
Some precaution must be taken while using this product. For example keep it away from the reach of children. Do not ingest and call poison control in accidental direction. Use one tube only for one pet. In fact have a separate Optimmune tube for every pet. This is important to avoid transmission of the infection. Time to time check-up and diagnose for the disease should be done. This medicine is only for dogs so do not give it to any other kind of pet.

"Fantastic Book and reading."
I love the movie and the book was just as good if not better. I know some will say oh, Mississippi wasn't like that, but when I moved here in the early 80's I found it to be similar to this book. Yes they had changed some, but there was still enough of the older generation who still lived with these beliefs.
"Loved the book!!"
I have read Pride and Prejudice, watched both movies, A&E as well as big screen. Its just a good story. Kate Reading's reading was also very good.
"This is by Glenn Beck???"
I was surprised by this book, but thought why not give it chance. I liked the book, wondered if this spoke volumes about Glenn Becks childhood.
"Not to my liking"
If you loved her on Saturday Night Live and Thirty Rock you'll love this book. If not then pass on this book. I found book boring.

The fox is a single red stroke that cuts across the clearing. The colour seems to hang like smoke, you can almost see where she has come from. Her musk, though you can smell nothing, is specific like a thumbprint on the air. It isn't raining but there's a kind of wet on your face, a stickiness of insect juices dropped. The fox is rusty-dull, discreet, not radiant or hot or pulsing. Not agitated. Not randy. She is completely dream and intelligence sliding through the wet grass, the stinging nettles, the little brittle helmets of dry seed, a flower or two, relics of the drizzly, petaled summer. The lyric fox goes down to the creek where dark and dankness will mask her scent and the lovely rosette of her face x

Elizabeth Cherry, Ph.D.Assistant Professor
I completed my PhD and MA in Sociology at the University of Georgia, and before that completed my BA in Sociology and French at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.
I regularly offer two required courses for the Sociology major: Introduction to Sociology and Classical Social Theory. Additionally, I teach a series of courses on environmental issues: Environmental Sociology, Sociology of Food, Animals & Society, and Environmental Social Movements. Other electives I offer include Contemporary Social Theory, Youth Subcultures, History of Social Action, and Social Theory through the Arts (a Castle Scholars Honors Program seminar).
My research focuses on culture and social movements, specifically in cultural analyses of social movements and social movement analyses of contentious subcultures. I am interested inthe role culture plays in constraining and enabling collective action, as well as how activists attempt to change culture. Topically, I study issues concerning animals, food, and the environment. My current research primarily focuses on the animal rights movement in France and the United States, and in past projects I've studied veganism, punk, pro-anorexia websites, as well as researcher subjectivity and reflexivity.

How To Be Efficient Without a Marketer!
By Sally Glick - Having just returned from the Association for Accounting Administrator's annual conference, I am full of exciting new ideas. For those firms that do not have the size, budget or culture to sustain a full time recruiter, human resource professional or marketer, the administrators find themselves wearing every hat. In doing so, they need access to some tools to make them more effective in managing multiple roles.
For these firms, starting a marketing committee is a good first step. Understanding that time is a scarce resource, by forming a marketing committee, the firm can spread the marketing responsibility across a range of different people at different levels of experience. This also helps build consensus across the firm for any new marketing initiatives and ensures seamless implementation. Lastly, a wider range of exciting new ideas that are appropriate for the firm, its culture and its resources will be developed when more people are involved in the brainstorming.
If you already have a marketing committee, and want to talk about how to make it more successful - or if you would like to form a committee - let's hear from you!
This blog
Sally Glick, CMO, Principal, Marketer of the Year in 2003 and AAM Hall of Famer in 2007, will lead a lively discussion of the constantly expanding roles of marketing and the professional marketers that drive this initiative in accounting firms of all sizes.

Has anyone had this procedure done and did you see a significant improvement on your face like 70 to 80% improvement?

Hi Miami,
Community member decriain had his whole face done for wrinkles and is waiting to see results so you might want to check out his review. Here community member Trinikamkin also had her full face done, but for blemish marks. Both might help.

Since I'm on Menopur now, I am forced to skip every other cycle. I am JUST finishing a "skipped" cycle- as in, I was spotting last I checked, and AF will arrive either late tonight or tomorrow.
So, theoretically, I could be calling my RE to set up IUI #10 (11? I've lost track...), except I'm not sure I should. Here's the thing- we're going to Hawaii in 3 weeks, for 2 weeks. It's enough time to get through the daily U/Ss and the IUI, but then they "require" me to be on Progesterone in the 2ww. I don't want to deal with a vaginal suppository every 12 hours while on vacation!!! But even more importantly... I don't want to have to test and see that blaring BFN while on vacation. And, yes, because of the stupid progeterone (I HATE this stuff any more. Hate it.) I will HAVE to test. Well, I guess I could just keep taking the suppositories all through vacation and not test until I get home. AF will not arrive when I'm on them.
Let's say I do test at 12 dpIUI, though. That will be on like day 4 of my 14 day vacation, and AF takes 5 days to arrive after stopping the progesterone. So not only would I have to deal with suppositories, an HPT, and a BFN, but I would also have to deal with PMS and AF.
Now I'm debating... Do I really want to deal with all that? Should I just skip this cycle?
Of course, even if I skip it, I will have PMS and AF (though probably before we go, since my unmedicated cycles are only about 24 days), so at least it'd be out of the way. But I would also still have to deal with the fact that I do not have the almost 9 month old that I should have, AND I'm not doing anything to work on having another. Sometimes inaction is more depressing than failed action. And, the kicker for not wanting to skip this cycle? I would also have to skip the next cycle, since the first two weeks of a Menopur cycle, MY doctor (can't find one in Hawaii to do it for me, nor would I want to spend all my vacation at the RE's, anyway) has to give me U/Ss nearly every day, and then do the IUI, and none of that can be done while in Hawaii.
So, do I barrel through and deal with suppositories, testing, a BFN, PMS, and AF while on the best vacation I've had in ages? Or do I skip last cycle, this cycle, AND the next cycle, so 3 cycles in a row, and try to not think about the fact that I'm yet again doing NOTHING to get that ever-elusive sibling for my very social girl...
<sigh> Can you tell I'm having a tough time with this?? What would you all do?
Oh, and let me end on this positive note that I want to scream at the top of my lungs: I HATE STC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

APW began in the Manhattan neighborhoods of Harlem and Washington Heights as a multi-disciplinary arts organization dedicated to creating community-based projects that privilege Africanist aesthetics, historical research and artistic risk-taking in the Caribbean community. Areytos is a variation on the Taino/Arawak word areitos, -a days long community ritual gathering including dance, music and art. In 2004 Areytos received a grant from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council for Nuestra Cultura/Our Culture a community celebration featuring presentations by Afro-Dominican artists as well as artwork created by ten teenagers who participated in a series of related workshops about Dominican history, culture and identity. Areytos went on to create a Bronx Action Lab project TRANSAJE (please see project descriptions). In the Spring of 2008 Areytos partnered with the Bronx Museum of the Arts and Citizen's Advice Bureau to create Salsa Profunda, a series of workshops in visual art and dance for elementary and high school students, that received support from the New York City Department of Youth and Cultural Development. The residency culminated in a multimedia performance exhibition at the Bronx Museum, that featured the student performers and professional dancers with live Cuban music by Grupo Irek.
Sita Frederick (Artistic Director, Areytos Performance Works) is a choreographer, performer, arts administrator and teacher based in New York City. After graduating from Swarthmore College, Frederick performed with Bessie-winning choreographers Jawole Willa Jo Zollar of Urban Bush Women and Merian Soto, co-founder of Pepatian. In 2003, Frederick and visual artist José Miguel Ortiz co-founded Areytos Performance Works, a multi-disciplinary performance company that presents innovative contemporary dance-theatre rooted in Caribbean traditions and the principles of social justice. From 2007-2010 Frederick produced a body of work reinterpreting Afro-Cuban, Salsa and modern in "Maletumba II," "What Do You Dance On?", "Sirenas" and "Bembé, Salon, y Calle". Frederick's newest series explores the convergence of Gaga and Guloya, two African based Dominican traditions and the politics of black identity in the Dominican Diaspora, with site specific "Comparsa G" and work-in-progress "Batey y Macorix: Senderos de Carbón/Carbon Pathways" presented by the Hostos Center for the Arts and Culture with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation's NYC Cultural Innovation Fund. Frederick has received support from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance, Bronx Action Lab, Puffin Foundation, Aaron Davis Hall's Fund for New Work, Harlem Dance Foundation, and Swarthmore College. Presenters of her work include Thelma Hill Performing Arts Center/Kumble Theater, Aaron Davis Hall/Harlem Stages, Pregones Theater, Lincoln Center Out-of-Doors, Pepatian@Jacob's Pillow Inside/Out, Congress on Research in Dance, University of Texas in Austin, Cornell University, Bronx Academy of Arts and Dance, among others. In May of 2012, Frederick completed a Master of Fine Arts in New Media Art and Performance at Long Island University, Brooklyn.
Artist Statement
My purpose is not merely to entertain, but to inform, challenge, inspire, and stir. I usually begin with an idea or issue that I want to explore with and through the body, creating multi-disciplinary, social-political work that humors and/or provokes. Movement is my home while text, multi-media set design, and sound are other modes I use to contextualize and layer the body in performance. With each project, I listen for the appropriate tension and integration among these elements. I embrace crosspollination, rhythm, improvisation, partnering and my dancers' genres to re-interpret and re-envision traditional and contemporary dance forms. I am drawn to the African and popular dances and music of Cuba, Haiti, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico but I also employ minimalist gesture developed from individual experience and modern dance movement. I design performance for the stage as well as alternative venues such as storefronts, streets and galleries.
Through art-making I seek transformation for myself and for my community. I am committed to collaboration and the constant negotiation required in creating participatory work guided by strong leadership. Just as learning is fundamental to my creative process, teaching dance and composition literally and figuratively feeds my art. I learn from and with the communities in which I teach. Through arts and education in local settings and beyond, I cultivate appreciation for Caribbean traditions, critical consciousness, imagination, and progressive dialogue.
Workshops Available:
- Repertory & Lecture-Demonstrations
- Afro-Dominican, Haitian and Afro-Cuban dance
- Salsa (both On2 and Cuban Style Son/Casino)
- Contemporary-Roots-Latin
- Modern Dance
- Voice and movement for actors
- Creative Movement for arts integration in the classroom
- Visual Arts
José Miguel Ortiz (Co-Founder, Designer) was born in Dominican Republic and raised in New York City where he received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts. Ortiz is a painter, arts educator and multi-media artist committed to connecting art with our everyday world. His works layer symbols and myths to create possibilities for connection between all peoples and cultures; to achieve this effect, he uses a mixture of various media: photography, printmaking, collage and paint. In 2005 Ortiz was selected to participate in the NYC MTA: Arts for Transit Project in the Bronx. Ortiz' work has also been exhibited in many galleries on the east coast such as Cultural Fine Art Gallery, Fortuna Gallery, Lehman College, and Temple University. Ortiz is on the Board of Directors for Point-of-Encounter, a volunteer outreach organization that supports community groups with health and art-making projects in Brazil. Ortiz spent nine years as the Program Director and Art Educator for The Children's Art Carnival, a nationally recognized award-winning arts education organization in Harlem. He has also been a Visual Art Instructor for the Joan Mitchell Foundation for the last 8 years and conducted professional development workshops in St. Vincent, W.I. for Youlou Arts Foundation, an International Arts organization introducing visual arts into the public school curriculum on the island. Ortiz is currently the Professional Development Program Coordinator for the Joan Mitchell Foundation.
Leticia Peguero (Producer, Performer) was born and raised in New York City by her Puerto Rican family. She is an advocate, educator and artistic collaborator. Peguero has spent a good portion of the past 12 years learning (and unlearning) the nuances of Salsa/Mambo and dances of the African Diaspora. She has performed with New York-based Mambo dance companies Dulce Bembé and Mambo 101 as well as with world renowned musicians such as El Gran Combo, Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barretto and Orquesta Fajardo in Charagueando (2004). Peguero's artistic practice is a cross pollination of genres and thus her credits include artists such as Jesus Aponte, Arthur Aviles Typical Theatre, Sita Frederick and most recently with Puerto Rican Bomba extraordinaires, Los Pleneros de La 21 at their student showcase. Her work with Areytos is multifaceted and her roles varied as she serves as performer, collaborator and producer. She approaches her work from a strengths-based social justice perspective and uses her skills in organizational capacity building and program design to develop Areytos' ability to create works that inspire and challenge.

Mr Sparrow on The Thousands app
Posted by Anna Macoboy
Have you got The Thousands City Guide iPhone app yet? I have to admit, I nerdishly downloaded it as soon as it was released a few weeks ago...and was very excited to discover that Mr Sparrow has been included in the SixThousand "Must See" section! Woohoo!
This comes a few months too late for James and I, who spent hours in our very dodgy motel room in Adelaide on our recent roadtrip scouring the FiveThousand site for hot tips on what to do and where to eat in Adelaide - the app would have made life a lot easier! But we will certainly be using it regularly on home turf to keep up-to-date on the latest goings on in Perth (like this Huge Vintage Sale happening tomorrow!), and in our future interstate travels. It makes it nice and easy to find recommendations for shops, restaurants and bars in a matter of seconds and there's also a "Near Me" feature that uses your location to pull up content nearby! Plus of course the "Must See" lists, which feature the best hangouts and happenings chosen by the editors in each city :)
Like The Thousands, the app is totally free and you can download it right here.

Chapter 252 Reviews
could this be the start of something new?
"Luke's house isn't too far from here, so we thought that we would just walk over, if you can do that in those shoes!" Spencer teased, linking arms with his best friend. They all headed out and five minutes later, they arrived at the house. Emily could tell that she was going to have fun. There were tons of people there already, most of them pretty drunk already. Emily dragged Brendon inside with her, the others following closely behind. Brendon led her to the kitchen and got them each a beer. A guy came into the kitchen and grabbed Brendon. Emily assumed that this was Luke.
"Emily, this is my best friend Luke. Lukey, this my dear friend Emily." Brendon introduced the two. Before they had a chance to talk, Brendon had disappeared into the crowded room. Emily laughed as she took a drink from her cup.
"So Emily, how did you and Brendon meet?" Luke asked, pouring himself another beer.
"Well, I went to high school with Spencer and Ryan and I met Brendon and Jon a few years ago when they first started the band." Emily explained. "I'm assuming that you and Brendon went to school together." Emily said, following Luke into the living room.
"We sure did and our moms grew up together, so we spent a lot of time together." Luke replied, sitting on the couch. Emily sat down beside him and they talked for a while. Emily couldn't help but notice that Ryan kept looking over at them. Emily quickly smiled at him. "Do you want to dance Emily?"
"Sure!" Emily led him onto the crowded make-shift dance floor that had been set up in the living room. Emily threw her arms around his neck and danced slowly with him.
Ryan and Becca were sitting on the couch across the room. Ryan tried to convince himself that he wasn't jealous, but seeing Emily talking to Luke made him feel pretty darn jealous.
"Baby, are you listening to me?" Becca whined, pulling on Ryan's collar. He smiled and kissed her quickly. "Are you okay? You don't seem like yourself tonight..."
"I'm fine Becca. I am just a little tired. I've been up pretty late the past few nights writing new lyrics. We are going to start working on the new record as soon as I get this stupid cast off." Ryan explained quickly, turning his attention back to his girlfriend. He smiled as he kissed her again. "I'll be right back. I'm going to get a drink. Do you want anything?"
"No thanks, just you." Ryan laughed and kissed her one more time before making his way to the kitchen. Brendon and Spencer were hanging out in the kitchen, talking to some people who Ryan assumed Brendon went to high school with. "Hey guys!"
"Hey Ry, this is Dan, Jill, and Mark. I also went to school with them. This is Ryan, our guitar player." Brendon introduced them.
"It's really nice to meet you guys." Ryan said shyly, grabbing a bottle of water out of the fridge. "So Emily and Luke seem to be getting along really well." He observed, sitting at the table with them.
"Yeah, she seems really happy." Spencer said, pulling a deck of cards out. "Want to play some poker?" Everyone agreed, and after the first hand, Emily and Luke came into the kitchen. "Hey guys."
"Hey! Bren, I don't know how you kept this girl a secret from me for so long!" Luke teased, sitting on the empty chair beside Ryan. He quickly pulled Emily onto his lap. "She's pretty awesome."
"Well, you're not too bad yourself Mr. Luke." Emily said, laughing. "Are you guys playing poker?" She questioned.
"We sure are! Do you guys want in?" Ryan asked, shuffling the cards.
"Yes please!" Emily said, smiling at him.
"Em, we're taking off." Brendon said, resting his hand on Emily's shoulder. "Are you going to come with us?"
"Yeah, if you don't mind." Emily said, getting off the couch. "Thanks for tonight Luke. I really needed it! Give me a call sometime and maybe we can go out for coffee or something?" She said, pulling her jacket on.
"For sure, that would be great." He leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. "See you around." With that, Emily followed Spencer, Jon, Ryan, and Brendon outside. She had a huge smile on her face.
"So, did you have fun tonight?" Jon asked, putting his arm around her shoulder.
"Most fun I have had in a long time. Luke is awesome."
"Aw our little Emily is growing up!" Brendon cooed. Emily playfully hit him in the chest. "Hey Ry, where is Becca? I thought that she was planning on crashing at our place tonight."
"She has to work in the morning, so she just decided to go back to her place." Ryan said quietly. "Are you coming back to our place Emily or are you going to go back to your apartment?" Ryan asked.
"I am going to go back to my place. I need to start unpacking."
"Do you mind if I walk you there?"

Roscoe is just adorable; I think he's even cuter without a nose. :) Old and well-loved toys are definitely the best. It looks like you're getting a good head-start on Thanksgiving. We'll be going to my parents this year, along with our son and my sister and niece. Can't wait!

I purchased my elf for Ceekay earlier this evening. This is such a sweet thing Laura is doing, and I hope it helps Ceekay and her family get to Disneyworld.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

― Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit

"He didn't mind how he looked to other people, because the nursery magic had made him Real, and when you are Real shabbiness doesn't matter."

Four Seniors Selected As Nevada Football Captains
Aug. 24, 2012
RENO – Four seniors were selected on Friday to serve as the captains for the Nevada football team during the 2012 season, head coach Chris Ault announced Friday night at The Blitz dinner at the Eldorado Hotel-Casino.
From the offense, tackle Jeff Nady and tight end Zach Sudfeld were chosen. Linebackers DeAndre Boughton and Albert Rosette were selected from the defense. The captains' selections came from a vote of the players.
"I think the players did a great job with their selections this year," head coach Chris Ault said. "What really impressed me was that they selected four guys who lead by the way that they play."
Sudfeld is a senior tight end who is returning for his sixth season of eligibility after missing nearly all of 2011 with a lower leg injury suffered in the season opener.
"This being my sixth year, I've seen five years' worth of captains before me and knowing some of those guys and who they were, on and off the field, I am just so incredibly honored to be selected," Sudfeld said.
Rosette started last season at defensive end and moved back home to the middle linebacker position this year.
"It's a great honor because we've had some great captains here in the past – guys that I looked up to," Rosette said. "To be viewed by my teammates as someone that they up to means more than I can say."
Boughton, an outside linebacker, is another Wolf Pack player coming off an injury as he missed all of 2011 due to a leg injury suffered in the weight room in the summer before the season. This year, Boughton was praised for his leadership in the voluntary summer workout program.
"I was surprised when Coach announced it and it means a lot to me," Boughton said. "It's an honor to know that my teammates are looking at me as a guy that they depend on."
Nady, a tackle from Minden, Nev., is a three-year starter who has developed into one of the best tackles in the Mountain West.
"This means everything to me," Nady said. "To be voted a captain in this program means that it's coming from your peers. To know that the work I've put in has earned my teammates' respect truly means the world to me."
Nevada will open the 2012 season on Sept. 1 at Cal. The Wolf Pack's home opener is Sept. 8 against South Florida. Tickets are available by calling 775-348-PACK or at NevadaWolfPack.com

In a Thanksgiving message titled "A letter to a friend," Jada Pinkett-Smith wrote, "This subject is old but I have never answered it in its entirety. And even with this post it will remain incomplete… Willow cut her hair because her beauty, her value, her worth is not measured by the length of her hair. It's also a statement that claims that even little girls have the RIGHT to own themselves and should not be a slave to even their mother's deepest insecurities, hopes and desires. Even little girls should not be a slave to the preconceived ideas of what a culture believes a little girl should be. More to come. Another day."

outside, dipped in reality,
everyone laughs at it-
move slowly so as not to be heard,
it sticks sometimes like sweat
outside, dipped in reality,
everyone laughs at it-
move slowly so as not to be heard,
it sticks sometimes like sweat
graffiti of thoughts-
and so it began
so it was fated to end
with each step of the beginning
ok- forward,
a love of fate.
Kissing made me lose myself,
gone and never wanting to come back- to being alone. Sadness can be overcoming me, overcoming the circumstances and compounding our separation, lost when will we be together. You died the day you were overcome with doubt and its all the illusion that was built as your memory fades to Grey and then to black. Dust in space, and the currents are walking us along.
the good guy-
There's a folder with a love affair in it. All the letters that I had to respond to.
Mixed emotions can fill you quickly when your a romantic, and it was time that made me.
All the letters had dripped down my fingertips, all the words had perspired from my thoughts.
My mistakes were ours to share and this is the first time in my life that its happened.
It makes me feel so good to talk to you and when we weren't- the words were filling my head.
It's all those thoughts in my head, in my words that make love to your mind, and its me who's the foolish one, love is not an affair to be played with.
Outrunning desire is a feeling that neglects thought- and lock your mind around the truth-
The desires were in my mind, locked together, my words touched me when they touched the other, feeling like we do but never will again. Drawn together we had become- a fire of water.
Koonut- Kaliffee. Minds locked together-
death to me-
living dead, we were dying when we lived,
and trying to live when we were dead.
living for a long time meant dying for a long time,
when- death touched me once, it wasn't my life- invulnerability was fading with time and transforming into inevitability
my power was my self destruction, my own death
But set down.
This set down
This: were we led all that way for
Birth or Death? There was a Birth, certainly,
We had evidence and no doubt. I had seen birth and death,
But had thought they were different; this Birth was
Hard and bitter agony for us, like Death, our death.
We returned to our places, these Kingdoms,
But no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation,
With an alien people clutching their gods.
I should be glad for another death.
-T.S. Eliot
It's only a story. A safe way from what actually happened. Even if sounds real, its just a story, pretty vacant. Two boys, two girls and a curiosity to unleash the hidden. Never go into a house that isn't yours when no one's home. Never forget your tools in the graveyard if your digging up the dead. Sadness and the muck it brings about one, is nowhere in the forest of curiosity. Two boys can bring themselves close to the edge, but they can only jump off together if they hold each others hands.
Child devils, corrupting the plain, the blank, and the unwritten story. Try it once try it twice, try it cause its nice. Steady, your hands and words tell a different story.
But your helpless to the rapture of the devil's adrenaline.
Blaise Pascal
when last we talked it wasn't good-
and much can't be said, other than…
your not the same person you used to be-
it is all different.
but what did you think-
where are we now and where were we then!
yes- it was so different and it seems,
so…long, ago- has time stopped?
No its sped up.
too many memories reflect this.
the yarn will soon unravel its self-
does it have to be this way-
It isn't any other way.
-all this time what happened?
Time passed and turned into the past ,
your so young but time is getting old-
when last we met it was after school-
can we talk?
about, anything and it could be this or that,
too many things to say and not enough to do,
when we were young we talked and wrote each other letters.
Why? you couldn't recognize why?
you didn't want-
It is too complicated-
when the speech is lost everything's been defined,
you wrote me letters- you received my words,
emergency states: hold my hand- and its soft,
my hand can feel your palms slight moisture
it is sweetness
like a taste you can smell-
but that was long ago-
when walking was how we spent our company
when we were talking.
-the walls were always there just not constructed,
now they are surrounding & there is protection in isolation
-never did we think that being alone, an animal that craves interaction,
only to dominate, and own, may be in harmony when by itself.
own your thoughts and own their truth-
company was once thought to be the security of a future,
now its a self fulfilling prophecy, to become the complete opposite of the thesis
its deconstruction leaves us alienated, owners not even of our selves'
my wrecking ball seeks not to destroy others but everyone,
including and not limited to those who already know
F. Bacon
I can't find the time to tell you
-there were moments that I want all to myself,
so many moments that could fill a book ,
and I never lied to you-
but I couldn't tell your beauty
because my love came from caring and I cared so much for you
maybe your wrong,
but I can't find the time to tell you,
and now the time has come,
time, was, is and now
I can't find the time to tell you,
my letters are just thrown together,
I just want you to know,
because I want to know,
and its a strange condition-
but I wanted to know
if you knew what I was writing,
because now I have a strange condition
to you I bequeath all that I could have been ,
to you I bequeath the lessons of my sin ,
the obsolete beauty of an old fashioned way,
the desolate ugliness of currency
the here and now of that and then
-You have followed others?
Never once could we do what we want just limited everything to a conformist halt, and monitored our every reaction. Followed the words of the old, followed the acts of the young. History is now telling us to be someone, and to act a certain way.
All the many influences and you haven't been truthful with your self, and it's not going to help when we aren't around.
So when you talked did you talk to yourself, or just all those people who rather decide your life instead of theirs. In the end it's funny how things are seen. Only perspective can be as deceptive at unbalancing the scales. Justice, is time masked in memories of the past, and judgment is reserved for your guilt. The most insecure feeling is guilt, the emotionally lost will tremble at the self inflicted sacrifice of your bleeding. When it was done you looked around and asked is it right? Don't be mad, just don't hate me. She was hated but your just another. Rename and regain, resume, and remember, all that is, was already and will not matter when your forgotten.
Olea europaea
restores energy when you are
physically and mentally
-only from the hate of the rules.
Sanity came from being punished for all my wrongs and hating everything that conspired against me.
Lawless and arrogance are seeds for destruction. Lies are the fragrant soil that nurtures its growth like manure. Fermented thoughts change form and you and me, are us and them. Rules ground. But only the rules that last are the firmest ground to center your self. When the ground rules change, other people start talking for you and the ground isn't everlasting. Lie, only to yourself, these are the best lies.
my love was
my betrayal,
its venom coursed
through veins of self hate,
my drug was love
loved my drugs,
it consumed as much as it did good,
little by little,
stakes are doubled
there is- only one way out
reason your addiction
its obvious-
the end is but a matter of time,
things will happen
hate will happen
too quick and too slow-
once upon a time,
love betrayed its addiction to hate.
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby
-humanity was outside, outside the world was filled with a reality that nauseated my senses. Love had torn me apart, again and again, I was left with the living embodiment of all the people in and out of my life. The wind was blowing me back now and the words were ringing in my head- take me away from here. Sympathy for humanity ,was not far from my grasp and still sadness surrounds me in the dark- take me away from here. Sentiments for others had always been asleep inside me and all I wanted to do was wake them so as to take care of someone else. It was how special and unique my thoughts were to me, in the way showing my caring could be absorbed by others. There was no moral distinction it was a mere principle of reflection, my sentiments for others. The common experience will always be us, it is the evidence that we are alive, and it seems as if though it's a natural understanding an element of loneliness- and sympathy has my personal merit.
It wasn't until I felt old that I knew what it was like to be young. Only the lucky get to feel fuzzy headed the young man told the seniors. We all get there and there's no right and wrong, there is no better- there is only different.
populus tremula
replaces apprehension and
vague fears with a sense of
security and peace of mind
"Sometimes both utility and analogy fail and leave the laws of justice in total uncertainty."
your cynical about your cynicism
and you don't need someone to affirm your cynicism to be cynical,
to deny merit in someones opinion is to deny your own merit,
so- you need affirmation of your skepticism
your opinion has as much merit as you allow others to have-
an intimate collaboration.
It's not my job to supply the answers that's your task,
it's my job to question your answer.
It's an exercise of reality
it makes you strong,
zero people in my future,
still waiting, and I'm sitting right through the way,
just waiting ?
bug me later-
she'll be here.
not in these words, in any-words?
who doesn't like me as much as I think-
Do you miss me,
this isn't our childhood,
would you bet your hands on it?
Thinking about It we can only realize that you are driving me crazy and
I would rather you not hate me,
-I don't know
I know you
are you nervous,
why today
just want to talk about art-
about the color Grey-
It's hard to be wrong when everybody's right-
It's hard to be right when everybody's wrong,
make it work-
sides had to be taken,
one or the other &-
another time was long gone,
a feeling of being chased made me turn-
the side of the building gave me a chance to catch my breath
but thoughts were racing, and they were scattered in my head-
make friends with your enemies?
it's hard.
And,… you just might be there to see them fall apart.
It was luck that today was in my present
-years had passed
-to see judgment passed,
Thinketh thee- poised to be humble?
Sincerity has a way of being lost in sentiments and translated to greed.
-greed was green and the number was four,
because every time we made love
there were four people present,
at least in thought.
one can get lost
In reality
lets see you try the water technique-
the sky is high the cloud is low
but my water technique is hard to beat.
-But the earth can absorb water.
cranberry juice reminded me of her,
a long time ago we talked, over the phone, for hours,
nothing was said and everything between was understood,
nothing else mattered except for the present future,
and time was being lived day to day just as it should with youth-
her touch was first and defining in- every step through seconds in my life,
and I fought not to be captured, held anchored to a world I was alienated from,
cranberry juice, is bitter and most things bitter are so sweet we just don't know it.
-the time for the future is right now.
Natural Born
-What kind of pies do you have?
well we got..um..
apple, pee-con, cherry, key lime.
-Which do you recommend?
well key lime's great but,.. it's an acquired taste.
-Well I ain't had key lime pie in years.
when you had it did you like it?
-No. -but, that don't mean much.
I was a completely different person back then.
Lets give that key lime pie a day in court…
He talked about the jacket and immediately the thought was that it had to be mine. To posses the objects of the other is to say- you see something of yourself in something else, or rather this is the part of you that you do not have/ posses and its just a matter of time before others desire what you have in themselves. So the story goes that time passed and then the opportunity to be someone else arises and then your wearing that jacket, you own it but its not enough and now others desire you. Whats in an object that no others have- whats in a name that is just the same-thing, that it was in the first place. Now they see your jacket- its only a matter of time before some other wants it. In the beginning– a jacket made of glass was so beautiful now beauty has changed but that's not the end now you don't want it, you have a jacket made of broken glass.

Have you ever mused over what might have happened if your ancestors had NOT moved from place A to place B and you had been born in a different place, perhaps a different country even? In the latter case, would you still be a carrier, as it were, of a different culture? Would you pass your "heritage" on to your children to ensure that they can enjoy the best of both (or more) worlds? Has the blend of cultures enriched your life, or has it pushed you into some sort of identity crisis? Has it afforded you advantages by being bilingual for instance? Or what are the negative aspects of a multicultural family background? So have your ancestors in fact been making history? Or are you?
Did I say ONE question? :-//

On Friday, Samantha Ronson was having a party for her sister at Bar Marmont and the doormen at the party were told not to allow Lindsay into the party. Looks like all the things Lindsay has been telling the press about her and Sam Ronson not having broken up isn't true.
On Friday night there was a lot of drama in Los Angeles, where Lindsay was kept out of the party by five bouncers. The party was for Sam's fashion designer sister's I heart Ronson clothing line for JCPenny.
The official party ended at around 11 p. m. but the music and the dancing went on till late. At the party were Sam's sister, Charlotte Ronson, brother, Mark and their mom, Anne Dexter Jones. Her brother, Mark's band played an hour long set at the party.
The family wanted to make sure Lindsay wouldn't be at the party and a source was heard saying, "Unless Lindsay rams a truck through the red carpet or skydives in, she won't be here." As expected, Lindsay showed up but was kept out. Lindsay knew she was unwanted but came anyway.
This isn't the first time she is appearing where she isn't welcome. On April 2 also she popped up on the stage in the middle of her friend, Lily Allen's show and was almost ignored by her. Looks like she needs serious lessons about social behavior and solid advice for staying out of places where she isn't really welcome.
