Happy Anniversary tomorrow.
Last year was my 25th wedding anniversary . We were trying to come up with something really special to do but couldn't find just the right thing. Then we received a phone call from our son. Okay, so I need to give you a little back story here. When my son was 11 turning 12 (ten years ago) he auditioned to be on the first every Kid's Jeopardy Show. In fact he was in the very first show and was the first kid to walk on stage. Yes, it was incredibly exciting and worth a blog post of its own, but I must not get too distracted here.
So, he got a call that the producers of the show were interested in a reunion show and would he be interested. All but one of the original group said yes (and the one that said no couldn't get away from a med school commitment). They taped the show last summer - right around our 25th wedding anniversary. Hey, a trip to LA to watch the taping sounded like a great anniversary celebration. I didn't post about it last year out of respect for my son's privacy, but now it is old news and a great story! So the first ever Kid's Week Reunion was taped and aired last fall. And to add to the excitement, he won his round and is now a Jeopardy Champion. Winds up it was Jeopardy's 25th Anniversary also - which is why they hatched the idea for a special reunion show. Stay tuned in ten years, they may just do it again.
Well, we will have a much quieter anniversary celebration this year, but I must say - I am married to the smartest, sweetest, most incredible guy - and I really can't believe it has been this long. I love this photo of us, circa somewhere around 1985. He looks so retro, in a "Magnum PI moustached" way. I am just a girl who likes to draw and put designs on cloth, and as lucky as I feel every day when I go to work, I am far luckier to have married my best friend and been a mom to one of the coolest kids I know.
Thanks for checking in and sharing my little corner of the world.

Recently BBA Week sat down for a quick Q&A session.
What are the three things in life of which you are proudest?
1) The fact that I was selected by President Obama to be the United States Representative to the 65th General Assembly of the United States. This gave me the opportunity to bring my private sector business insights to the work of the delegation. (The position has been held by other illustrious women, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Coretta Scott King, and Pearl Bailey.) 2) My success in bringing together a group of 35 Boston business and civic women (including Diane Patrick and Angela Menino) to raise money and build a home in Post Katrina New Orleans. Part of NOLA's rebuilding effort, this home became known as The Boston House. Built in the largest Habitat for Humanity Village, this new home went to a single mother who had lost everything to Katrina.
3) On a personal note. . . my marriage to Cyrus "Bernie" Fulp. He serves as my foundation, enabling me to be all that I can be. (Carol and Bernie, Chairman of Go-Biz Solutions and Founder of Middlesex Bank Trust Company, have been married 13 years and live in Boston.)
What examples can the Boston Bar Association and the Boston Bar Foundation – both strongly committed to diversity and the promotion of people of color in leadership positions – learn from The Partnership's experience?
First and foremost, diversity is a business imperative, in addition to a social justice issue. We live in a global society and a global marketplace, and our economic survival requires that we be able to work with individuals of all cultures. As such, it is important that our organizations mirror that global society.
Boston has always been rich in innovation. To be truly innovative, you have to have different voices engaged in our workplaces. It is to our advantage to have individuals who see things through different lenses, and you want the best and the brightest of all at the table.
What do you see as the biggest areas of need in our community, and what would be effective ways for lawyers and law firms to get more directly engaged in community service activities?
Develop the next generation. In particular, mentor young people in need. If you are able to reach one child you have changed generations; it is like throwing a pebble into the water and watching the ripple effect.
Educating young people is not only the School Department's responsibility; it is the responsibility of business. Lawyers and law firms play a huge part in helping to develop the pipeline for the future.

Kerry is 37 years old, has a calf injury and is in a walking boot. Combine that with the torn tendon in his finger, on his throwing hand I think his Titans, and maybe his professional career, is over. I don't see how he can get healthy again with seven games left.
Put him on IR and sign another guy, we don't need to waste a valuable roster spot in hopes of getting Kerry healthy again.

Focus on Neural Circuits
Understanding the functional organization of the nervous system, its capacity to produce perception, thought, language, memory, emotion, and action, remains the ultimate challenge for biology. Neural circuits, the complex synaptic networks of the brain, hold the key to understanding who we are, why we behave the way we do, and how the debilitating effects of neurological and psychiatric disorders can be ameliorated. Meeting this challenge requires forging links between different levels of analysis—genetic, molecular, cellular, circuit, and behavioral—and developing new technologies that make cutting edge scientific discoveries possible. The Max Planck Florida Institute brings together outstanding scientists with a broad range of expertise in a cohesive, collaborative environment designed to stimulate the development of novel approaches to understanding the structure, function, and development of neural circuits.
Part of the prestigious Max Planck Society based in Germany, the MPFI is the first and only institute of its kind in North America. Situated in the new biosciences cluster in scenic Palm Beach County in south Florida, the MPFI provides a vibrant, interactive environment where scientists are provided generous ongoing support to conduct high impact research at the cutting edge.
Dr. Samuel Young, Jr. - May 8, 2013
Scientists from the Group of Dr. Samuel Young, Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience in Jupiter, together with colleagues from the Max Planck Institute for Experimental Medicine in Göttingen, Germany and the Department of Basic Neurosciences at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland have achieved considerable progress towards our better understanding of how synapses in the brain manage to achieve sustained high-speed signal transmission.

ADCB to net $272 mln in profits from RHB stake sale
ADCB sold its 24.9 percent stake in RHB to Aabar; Says funds to be used to strengthen balance sheet; ADCB shares rise 2.5 percent on Abu Dhabi bourse - reuters
June 19, 2011 10:27 by p.deleon
Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) will record a net profit of 1 billion dirhams ($272.3 million) from the sale of its 25 percent stake in Malaysian lender RHB Capital , the lender said on Sunday.
ADCB signed an agreement to sell its percent stake in RHB Capital to Aabar Investments, an Abu Dhabi investment fund, for 10.80 ringgit per share, bringing in 7 billion dirhams ($1.91 billion).
"After considering all related costs… exchange rates, hedging, cost of funding etc… this transaction shall contribute approximately 1 billion dirhams to the bank's overall profit," ADCB said in a bourse statement.
The lender, one of the region's most exposed banks to indebted conglomerate Dubai World, said it will use proceeds of the stake sale to bolster its balance sheet and will help the bank focus more on its local markets.
Consideration for the sale will be settled in cash, one month from the date of signing the agreement, ADCB said.
RHB, Malaysia's fifth-largest lender with a market value of about $7.2 billion, is presently a takeover target of Malaysia's two largest banking groups, CIMB Group and Malayan Banking (Maybank) .
Analysts have said the sale to Aabar could complicate a merger bid between RHB and either CIMB or Maybank as it set the floor for the RHB takeover, pricing RHB at a minimum 2.25 times book value. RHB's book value was 4.79 ringgit per share as of March 31.
Shares in ADCB gained 2.2 percent amid low volumes in Abu Dhabi trade as at 0700 GMT. ($1=3.673 UAE DIRHAM) (Reporting by Dinesh Nair, Editing by Reed Stevenson)

I am deeply grateful that our local citizens, communities, businesses and governments have put out extra flags to honor the return of our soldiers from deployment overseas. To celebrate Veterans Day, I am sure many more flags are flying to honor all our service men and women. I only wish all you who do place flags out would remember to treat the flags with due respect. I ride around town even now and see flags stuck in the ground in front of business and most of the flags are now dragging or have fallen to the ground.
What does an American flag on the ground mean? It means there are neither soldiers nor citizens left alive to pick it up and charge the battle. A flag touching the ground is considered desecrated and should be destroyed through proper ceremony. To those of us veterans and citizens who still get misty eyed seeing the flag raised and lowered in ceremonial pomp, lowered for a fallen comrade, or just freely flapping in the breeze; seeing a flag on the ground is considered dishonorable and a slap in the face to every soldier who ever served this nation.
If you wish to honor our heroes by flying a flag, do so with honor and respect. Keep our grand old flag — the red, white, and blue — off the ground. May it forever proudly fly over a grateful nation, not lie on the ground as a soiled piece of trash.

Foxconn daddy: 'Don't buy Galaxy S III, wait for iPhone 5'
No love lost for 'snitching' Samsung
Samsung's highly anticipated Android-based Galaxy S III smartphone may be basking in attention that it's receiving during its official launch on Wednesday, but there's at least one top tech exec who's snubbing it.
Terry Gou, the "pugnacious" chairman of Hon Hai, the parent company of iPhone and iPad maker Foxconn, advises that consumers should skip Samsung's new flagship handset and wait instead for the iPhone 5, reports Focus Taiwan, citing the China Times.
Gou has no love for Samsung, calling it "a company with a track record of snitching on its competitors" – a reference to Samsung's outing of four Taiwanese companies in a 2010 EU flat-panel price-fixing investigation that resulted in a €434m fine.
The Hon Hai chairman – who has said that his lifelong goal is to defeat Samsung – confirmed that his company had cut a joint-venture deal with Sharp on Monday that he believes will allow Hon Hai to surpass Samsung in three to five years.
The deal will include a new flat-panel television assembly line to be built near Hon Hai's New Taipei headquarters, Gou said, which the China Times claims that "market sources" suggest will manufacture Apple's oft-rumored big-screen TV.
Gou, who is Taiwanese, further dissed Samsung, which is Korean, by complimenting Sharp, which is Japanese. "I respect the Japanese and especially like their execution and communication styles," he said, "Unlike the Koreans, they will not hit you from behind."
Not that putting the boot to the Samsung's Galaxy S III during its coming-out party is a low blow, eh, Chairman Gou? ®
Wait, what?
--"a company with a track record of snitching on its competitors" – a reference to Samsung's outing of four Taiwanese companies in a 2010 EU flat-panel price-fixing investigation that resulted in a €434 fine.
Foxconn is pissed because Samsung outed suppliers for screwing the customer? Just making sure I didn't read this wrong, if he's pissed because Samsung doesn't want companies doing illegal shit, then Gou can stick his head up his own ass till he suffocates.
Its Apple
WHo I think is a secret shareholder in Foxconn. Ane he knows which side is his bread buttered on.
Is this really news?
What a douchebag...
Like i needed another reason not to buy Apple gear...
Sir, you talk shit
I've got a Samsung galaxy nexus and my Mrs an I phone 4s. Mine pisses all over it (and here is the important bit) IN MY OPINION.
Talking to your phone to ask "what time is it" just makes you look a twat whether iOS or android. Its a pointless feature. I'm not saying siri isn't slickly done, it is (well, when its the right kind of question anyway). Camera on the 4s isn't amazing either. No phone cameras really are. My nexus has less lag though.
But like Ive said before, horses for courses. She loves hers, I love mine and neither of us sees what the other sees in theirs. Its called individuality and choice. Long may it live.
Sorry I already have a Samsung Galaxy S3, and why would I wait for more of the same?
Really I am not expecting the iPhone 5 to be anything that different from the iPhone 4 or iPhone 3G
really they don't change much, although I would be VERY happy to see something revolutionary rather than evolutionary and obvious from apple for a change....
I am not saying the SGS3 is revolutionary, but its a damn good, well designed, powerful, smart phone....

9 Female Characters We Wish We'd Been More Like In High School
Because teenagerdom is a mess, but some people handle it better than others.
What's with the name?
by Susana Polo | 11:44 am, August 31st, 2012
Facebook is pretty secretive with its plans for changing the site, but thanks to the feature going temporarily live to some premium advertisers on Facebook, we now know that Facebook is planning on letting advertisers find people on Facebook using information they may have already collected about their clients: emails, phone numbers, etc.
I know what you're thinking: "AW HECK NO." But this is actually not as bad as it sounds. Well. It's not as bad as the worst case scenario of how it sounds, anyway.
Basically Facebook will allow businesses that are trying to reach customers through ads on Facebook to upload customer contact info. That info, containing anything from phone numbers to emails to user IDs will be hashed (reduced to math, so that Facebook can't actually access the real information), and compared to similarly hashed Facebook information. The business will then have the option to target ads to the user profiles that Facebook has determined matches the info they've already gathered about their customers. Neither side gets access to new user info, and the businesses don't get to see any individual profiles.
Techcrunch has a few ideas about how that might be used:
Businesses will have the option target their ads at that group, or they can further target their content towards a certain demographic (say, females between 25 and 45) within the group. The simplest use case: Most businesses have loyal customers who aren't Facebook fans, so they can create an ad for those customers asking them to become fans. Advertisers can also offer deals — an auto repair shop could tell customers that they'll get a free oil change if they become a fan. It's applicable beyond brick-and-mortar businesses too — an app developer could target lapsed users with an ad outlining the features in a new update.
What will this look like on the user side? Maybe… some ads that are actually relevant to a user's actual life?

Public Culture
Argues that the inept response to Hurricane Katrina was largely due to the policy of privatizing risk which makes individuals bear the brunt of predictable hardships. The lack of mechanisms to reduce risk or share the burden is pointed out. Hurricane Katrina is discussed in relation to proposals to replace the public provision of services with private purchase regimes. The shortage of flu vaccine & the collapse of private pension schemes are also examples of the results of privatizing risk. The history of the marketization of social institutions is traced to point out how it affects the distribution of both wealth & risk. Managing risks is one of the fundamental reasons for the development of social institutions & the privatization of risk results from reductions in programs designed to share risk & provide public goods. Americans responded to Hurricane Katrina with enormous acts of private charity; however, the public must respond with equal passion to the need to change the structural inequalities produced by the privatization of risk.

Classic Hammer cheese, set in a Cornish tin mine, with voodoo and Jacqueline
Maximum Power!!!!Pierce and Michael Ripper and Andre
QuatermasMorrell... The grey faces and the shambling and groaning are all a class above anything George A Romero ever did, and it's got a cheap workforce solution any Tory would be proud of. Gloriously sleazy performance from John Carson and a lovely climax.
Best bits? The zombies realising they are catching fire in the tin mine. Some classic zombie acting there.
The Hound of the Baskervilles
This was the BBC TV version with Peter Cushing (as opposed to the Hammer version with Peter Cushing) and felt like it was 80 minutes of script stretched out to 100 minutes. Holmes is absent for most of Baskerville, which works when you have a decent actor playing Watson. Unfortunately this doesn't have a decent actor playing Watson, and although Cushing is as excellent as ever, he's not in it enough to rescue it. And there was a glaring cock-up with the trains (don't ask) which is still annoying me now.
Best bits? Watson's sheep-shagger line, and the guy at the back of the audience quipping
Shoulda gone to Specsaverswhen Stapleton falls into the Grimpen Mire.
Shorts: Suffer the Little Children
Every one of these was beautifully shot and lit. None of them had any real technical or quality issues. The scripts, though, varied enormously. The Happy Children was simple and atmospheric, but I was expecting a nastier ending - 6/10. Darkness Within possibly would have worked if even one of the characters had been in any way likeable, but I struggled to care about the suffering of the irritatingly smug husband and his voiceless wife - 3/10. Endless had the germ of a clever idea, but you have no idea of the relationship between any of the characters or what brought them to the point they were at. And the title felt appropriate by the time it ended. It dragged... - 3/10. Intercambio was dull and sexist and made no sense - 1/10. But then we got Click... And that was brilliant. The characters felt like real people doing the sort of things real people do, and the child actors were all excellent. I recommend you seek it out, if you can - 9/10.
The final film of this segment was The Elemental, which was nicely atmospheric with some creative shock moments and a great performance from the central actress - 7/10.
Best bits? Click, the whole of it.
Twins of Evil
A nice nuanced performance from Cushing makes this Hammer
Ooo we've got twins who are willing to get their tits outfilm feel much higher quality than it otherwise might.
Best bits? The prison guard with the most impressive combover the world has ever seen, and Cushing's totally serious delivery of the line
Satan has sent me twins... OF EVIL!!
Vincent Price Rarities Double Bill
The first half of this was a Parky-style interview with Vincent conducted by David Del Valle called The Sinister Image. I'd never seen it before, and learned a couple of new things from it, and mostly came away with the impression that Vincent was happy and relaxed and humorous about himself and his career. It was clear that he and David got on with each other and they were chatting like old friends. It was somewhat frustrating that every bit of Vincent's career got skated over very briefly, rather than a few choice bits gone into in depth, but I suspect that was always going to be the case. 6/10
The second half was An Evening With Edgar Allen Poe. I had seen it before, but I don't think many people there had. The format is basically a one-man reading of some of Poe's short stories, with some props and make-up, but nobody there other than Vincent. The first, Tell-Tale Heart, is the best, and I have only seen it bettered once (by Sean Pertwee, in this). Cask of Amontillado is also excellent. The whole thing is more of a stage, or even radio, play than TV/film, but it works because Price has the presence to carry it.
Best bits?
VILLAINS! DISSEMBLE NO MORE!etc. 8/10

* Therapists in GRAY are out of the office for the summer*
Director Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology / M.S.W. in Clinical Social Work
AAMFT Approved Supervisor
State of Washington Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
State of Washington Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker
Diplomate standing awarded in: Adlerian Psychology (NASAP), Professional Psychotherapy (IABMCP), and Clinical Social Work (NASW)
"I approach counseling as a collaborative partnership. As we work together to understand the issues and concerns, I seek to help clients tap into their wisdom, creativity, and strengths to meet their current challenges. I bring a holistic and systems perspective whereby clients can better understand themselves in the context of their family histories and current relationships. By helping clients understand the origins of their beliefs, feelings, and behavior patterns that so often are not in conscious awareness, clients are able to achieve greater self-acceptance and strengthen their ability to make relevant, positive, and lasting life improvements. I have learned that many maladaptive patterns of behavior originate in unresolved trauma. I have special training in 'Reprocessing Therapies' which provide clients rapid and permanent healing from confusing, discouraging, or traumatic life events."
Assistant Director
M.S., Seattle Pacific University, Marriage & Family Therapy B.A., Westmont College, Sociology
"I believe we are all created to be in relationships with others, yet we often discover how challenging relationships can be. I desire to provide a safe environment for you to explore these challenges and identify ways to move differently. My work with clients involves a biopsychosocial-spiritual approach within a systemic framework. In my work, I seek to be respectful of and sensitive to your developmental needs and therapeutic goals. I recognize that counseling can be intimidating, which is why I look forward to walking through the process with you. I am also aware of how challenging and wonderful college can be, so I desire to be a support to you as you navigate your college experience at SPU."
Therapist M.A., Antioch University, Psychology, Child, Couple and Family Therapy
M.Div., Princeton Theological Seminary B.A., University of Washington, Psychology
"My work in the field of counseling psychology began with a specialization in couple and family systems therapy. My philosophy towards helping people achieve perceived change is client-centered and built upon collaboration, cooperation, and a deep respect for the client's own resources and abilities to arrive at solutions to problems and challenges. Acknowledging the uniqueness of each individual, I combine a variety of approaches to assist clients as they work to reach their own personal growth goals. Personal growth goals are those ongoing and evolving goals which the client chooses to pursue in addressing a perceived problem or issue which they are facing."
Therapist M.A., Eastern University, Community and Clinical Counseling B.A., Seattle Pacific University, Psychology and Sociology
State of Washington Licensed Mental Health Counselor
"My formal education and approach as a counselor has largely centered on Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic theoretical frameworks, though I am always seeking to grow and integrate other approaches when beneficial. You can expect that I will work collaboratively with you in the counseling process. As we discuss what brings you to seek help through counseling, and your goals for counseling, I hope that you will freely share the thoughts, feelings and behaviors which are concerning you. During our counseling sessions, we will explore together connections that may exist between these areas of your functioning both currently and in the related past. I will ask some prompting questions, listen actively, as well as give feedback about my observations. Through this supportive process, my goal is that you will become more aware of what informs your thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and that deeper understanding and insights about yourself will lead to ways to address challenges that you face."
Individual, Couple and Family Therapist, Office Assistant
M.S., Seattle Pacific University, Marriage and Family Therapy
B.S., Colorado State University, Psychology
"My training is in systems theory which focuses on how important relationships impact us and form us. Through our conversations, I hope to collaborate with clients to help them gain insight into the way their thoughts, feelings, past experiences and important relationships impact their presenting issue. I also use concepts from Gottman Therapy and Emotions Focused Therapy when I work with couples. These are two of the most scientifically validated couples therapy techniques.
In addition to providing therapy for students, I also enjoy serving students as an office assistant in the Student Counseling Center. I am very privileged to be able to serve students in both capacities and to be part of such an amazing team of therapists and staff."
Therapist M.A., Mars Hill Graduate School, Counseling Psychology B.S., Miami University, Social Work
"My passion for therapy stems from the belief that everyone needs a place to safely explore who they are. My hope is that my clients will experience a therapeutic relationship that offers a space to explore what it means to relate more fully to themselves and to their world. More specifically, I have a strong interest in working with those clients who are exploring food and body issues. I believe that just like many other relationships in our lives, we deserve to feel a freedom in relating to food and to our bodies. My passion is to help people discover how that freedom can be possible."
Therapist M.A., Antioch University, Psychology, Mental Health Counseling
B.A., University of Washington, Communication
"I believe that all individuals are striving to live happy and healthy lives, and as a therapist my goal is to support, encourage, empower, and challenge individuals to create the change that is desired in their lives. My hope is that therapy will provide a safe space that allows for exploration facilitated by collaboration and cooperation between therapist and client."
M.S., Bastyr University, Master of Science and Nutrition
B.S., Oregon State University, Nutrition, Dietetics and Foodservice Management
State of Washington Certified Dietitian and Nutritionist
National Registered Dietitian
"I have almost 20 enjoyable years as a dietitian and more recently a parent coach. I love working with people to improve their health, reduce stress, and to live the highest quality of life possible. I feel particularly passionate about supporting individuals having difficulty with disordered eating and body image issues and moving toward healthy life choices. One diet does not suit all and I enjoy partnering with my clients to improve their relationship with food, their body and ability to live the fullest life while reaching for their goals. I spend my down time with family traveling as much as possible and when not...dancing, biking, swimming, reading books and trying to learn more."
Therapist Intern M.S. (in progress), Seattle Pacific University, Marriage and Family Therapy B.A., Seattle Pacific University, Psychology
"I am presently receiving my training in systems therapy, which examines how the many facets of our lives interact. What most interests me is the way our surrounding relationships and past experiences effect our current beliefs and values. My goal is to assist clients in building on the resources and strengths I believe can be found within. I hope our work together will carry into my client's daily living and empower their perception of self. Ultimately, this can support the confidence needed in making life decisions."
Tamura Turney (M.S. in progress)
Therapist Intern

"I believe that every individual has a unique and valuable story to tell and it is my joy to hear the stories of anyone I come in contact with. There are countless layers of our lives that intersect every day to make up that story and a priority of mine is to help others uncover those layers in order to convey how deeply rich their story is. College is an exciting time of discovering potential and navigating change. My hope in working with students through the SCC is to help each individual experience this time of life with confidence, to find the space they need to heal and reflect, and ultimately feel the freedom and empowerment to live life well."
M.A. (in progress), The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, Counseling Psychology
M.A., The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, Christian Studies
B.A., Graphic Design, Washington University (St. Louis)
"I believe that life is a process of becoming whole—and this becoming is both profoundly beautiful and deeply painful. Feeling and exploring emotional pain, though terrifying, can be what leads us into a deeper awareness of beauty and a greater sense of self. Our histories, experiences, relationships and choices all contribute to our life story and who we have become at this point in our journey. They impact the feelings we allow or deny and how we relate to others and ourselves. My hope is that we can address any specific reasons you have for seeking therapy in such a way that also offers deeper insight into your life story.
My therapeutic approach aids the client in more fully understanding the depths of their personal story in order to step into healthier relationships with self and others, and essentially then to live a more whole and abundant life."
B.A., University of Texas at Dallas, Interdisciplinary Studies in Biology and Psychology
"Clients enter into counseling with varying needs; some wanting change, growth, advice, and/or help during crisis. Beginning the process of therapy can be difficult. I want to invite you into creating a space together where trust and support will prevail and offset any discomfort. Each client brings a unique life story to counseling. By developing greater awareness of this story in therapy, you can increase understand of yourself and your challenges, and develop a new way of being and connecting with others. My desire is to provide support for you to succeed in this chapter of your life journey, as a student at SPU. On this journey filled with strife and goodness, I am honored to walk along side of you as a fellow traveler, one who can add to your support and the meaning of your experience. I look forward to meeting with you."
M.A. (in progress), Northwest University
B.A., Seattle Pacific University, Theater and Communication
"My approach to therapy is holistic and client centered. I seek to create a safe and trusting environment where you can share your story, freely discuss your reasons for seeking help through counseling, and feel empowered to make healthy decisions. My training emphasizes a multicultural and systems approach. Together we will discuss what challenges you may face, how these challenges relate to your current situation, your relationship to others, as well as your relevant past. It is my hope that you will have deeper insight into your thoughts and feelings through this process. I truly believe that each individual is uniquely creative and has a powerful story to share. I have a passion for helping people and an interest in helping individuals who are dealing with body, self-esteem, and identity issues. I look forward to hearing and engaging in your story."
B.A., Ithaca College (N.Y.), Journalism and Psychology
"My role in the counseling process is to create a secure space for you to share your story and attach new meaning to it. How we see and tell our stories is often framed by the faulty, worn-out scripts we are unconsciously following. In living a life that is not our own, we risk losing both our unique voice and a sense of belonging.
Deep therapeutic change occurs within a caring, trustworthy alliance that empowers you to listen and give voice to your own hopes and dreams -- really, to trust yourself. This work is grounded in a growing awareness of both your own experience and how others experience you.
I am committed to joining you on your journey of becoming your best self, as I believe healing is a collaborative effort in which we influence one another. Together we'll explore how painful past events, survival strategies and relational patterns are being replayed in your present, in ways that provoke doubt or distress -- but together we can also realize the possibility for something new."
M.A. (in progress), Antioch University, Mental Health Counseling
B.S., Hardin-Simmons University, Psychology
"I consider counseling to be a unique, collaborative relationship based on trust and acceptance of both the client and counselor. As a counselor my goal is to provide a safe space where you can explore your challenges and concerns as well as navigate the changes occurring during your time in college. I believe that we all come from different backgrounds and have unique beliefs, values, and identities. Understanding your cultural identity is an important aspect of being able to provide you with the appropriate support, encouragement, empowerment, and challenge in order to make the changes you desire in your life."
Therapist Extern
B.A, University of Washington, Psychology
"As a therapist, it is my goal to be present with you; to hear what you think and feel while helping you meet your goals in a therapeutic setting. Rather than tell you how to behave, I will guide you towards finding your own answers and assist in creating the story you want your life to fulfill. From a systems therapy lens, I can help you to examine your roles in relationships and the impact of those who may be involved. When we understand ourselves more clearly, it allows us to be fully present in our relationships with others. I believe in the integration of the mind, body, and soul when approaching health, which means we can explore all areas of life that are important to you, in a safe and non-judgmental environment."
M.A., Antioch University, Clinical Mental Health Counseling
B.S., Central Michigan University, Psychology
"I view counseling as a collaborative alliance that is built from trust and acceptance of both client and counselor. Because each individual is unique, I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, based on your needs and goals. My intention is to create a compassionate and nonjudgmental environment so that, together, we can safely address your concerns and facilitate the life changes that you desire and deserve. I am aware that we all come from different backgrounds with different stories. Exploring together how your life story and culture has influenced your beliefs, values, and experiences allows both of us a better understanding of your strengths, challenges, hopes, and dreams. Developing this holistic understanding of your life is an honor, one I look forward to experiencing together."
Administrative Assistant
B.A., Seattle Pacific University, Language Arts
"As an administrator, I believe that every client deserves to be treated with respect and compassion throughout the entirety of his or her interaction with the Student Counseling Center. I care deeply about providing excellent customer service and creating a welcoming environment that enables all clients to feel comfortable at the Student Counseling Center."
Graduate Assistant
Ph.D., (in progress), Seattle Pacific University, Counselor Education

B.A., Providence College, Mathematics
B.S.W., Providence College, Social Work
"College is an opportunity for students to explore and learn about themselves and the world around them. I believe that the Student Counseling Center is a safe space and wonderful resource to assist students in this growth, as well as to help navigate challenges they may face. As a graduate assistant, it is my goal to ensure that all students feel welcome, respected, and comfortable while utilizing the support available to them at the Student Counseling Center."

Chamber Festival welcomes young performers to Northbrook

Updated: July 30, 2012 1:43AM
The North Shore Chamber Music Festival, run by internationally acclaimed husband and wife team violinist Vadim Gluzman and pianist Angela Yoffe, begins its second season Wednesday evening, with the Northbrook couple playing Bartok's Rhapsody No. 1 for Violin and Piano as the opening piece.
The evening also includes Beethoven's String Quartet by the renowned Pacifica String Quartet.
Perhaps the most unusual work Wednesday is "Ferdinand the Bull," by Alan Ridout, a prolific British composer who often wrote music for children. Ridout adapted the 1936 best-selling children's book by American author Munro Leaf for narrator and violin.
Vadim Gluzman will play the violin and the narrator will be Henry Fogel, dean of the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University, who was also president of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra from 1985 to 2003.
"Vadim is on my faculty at Roosevelt," said Fogel, when reached by telephone at the downtown university. "I went to his first festival last June at his invitation and I really liked what I heard. The quality he and Angela are presenting is really good."
Fogel, who lives in River Forest, began his career on WONO, the classical music radio station in Syracuse, New York, and is credited with creating the first-ever fund-raising radiothon.
After leaving the CSO, Fogel headed the League of American Orchestra for five years, visiting more than 190 American orchestras during that time. He facilitated the highly successful Ford Made in America project, which commissioned works from leading American composers to be played by small budget orchestra from coast to coast. "I'm very proud of that project," he said. "The composers got a lot of performances, instead of just one. It was a good idea and it was a success."
Despite all his long administrative career, Fogel has never quite turned off the radio. He presents the nationally syndicated "Collectors' Corner" at 8 p.m. every Sunday evening on WFMT (98.7FM), drawing from his own library of about 5,000 LP recordings and between 20,000 and 25,000 CDs. "We have separate room for them all," he said, laughing. "We might be the only people who had to move into a bigger house after the children grew up!"
Fogel has been heard as a narrator with many orchestras, frequently in Aaron Copland's "A Lincoln Portrait."
Joining Fogel as a silent narrator is Kirsten Moomey Merilo, who is coming in from Los Angeles to interpret the story in American sign language.
Merilo's appearance is part of the festival's outreach to the International Center on Deafness and the Arts through Education, now located in temporary quarters in Northbrook.
"Kirsten is a contemporary of Marlee Matlin, " said Dr. Patricia Scherer of Northbrook, ICODA's founder and president, invoking the name of ICODA's most famous student to date, who won an Academy Award in 1986 for her starring role in the Hollywood film "Children of a Lesser God."
Matlin began her stage career at the age of seven in ICODA's first theater group, as Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz." "Kirsten was in that show," said Scherer. "She played the Scarecrow."
At 6 p.m. Wednesday young artists from the center will give a theatrical presentation, which Merilo will also sign.
The pre-concert program, given by students from 14 to 18 years of age, includes "America" from "West Side Story," a selection from "Into the Woods," and a song titled "Proud."
"Then our kids will be joined by students from the Betty Haag Academy of Violin Studies," Scherer continued, "and they'll all present 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow.' The audience will be asked to sing."
Betty Haag's young musicians, who were featured in last year's festival, will also play the first movement of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3.
As part of the pre-concert program, Angela Joffe, who asked ICODA to take part in the festival, will play a piano-four hands version of Pachelbel's "Canon in D" with Madeline McKelvey of Glenview, who is a sophomore in the deaf and hard-of-hearing program at Hersey High School in Arlington Heights.
Art work from children at ICODA, from 12 to 18 years of age, will be on display in the church.
The festival continues with "From Darkness to Light" Friday, June 8 with music by Schubert, Shostakovich, Schnittke and Brahms. The final program "Musical Kaleidoscope" will be Saturday, June 9 with music by Stravinsky, Golijov, Piazzolla and Franck.

A report from pgCon 2013
Little things that matter in language design
"Gentoo has 12,037 packages in its main repository as of this writing, which puts it among the largest package collections. A quick check of my Fedora CVS checkout revealed roughly 5,200 packages, to put this in perspective." I'm not sure the number of package is a good indication of the collection size. If I remember right, at some point, gentoo started to cut xorg in hundreds of packages. The same happened to kde. Last time I checked, Ubuntu had about a dozen of packages for each of these piece of software. I also know gentoo dropped xmms way before (nov-dec 2006) Ubuntu did (just did it in 7.10). Gentoo has a lot of advantages, but let's not get carried away by the number of packages. On top of that, if half of the packages stay in ~arch because of a lack of developpers, it doesn't help much.
Development Gentoo for developers

the same thing cuts the other way. gentoo doesn't have a bunch of different packages for one software release like some other distros do (how many different nagios packages does each distro have for example, I've seen close to a dozen on some distros, depending on if they used flat files, MySQL, Postgres, etc)

True, but while (for random example) Debian has libwxgtk2.4-1, libwxgtk2.4-1-contrib, libwxgtk2.4-contrib, libwxgtk2.4-contrib-dev, libwxgtk2.4-dbg, libwxgtk2.4-dev, libwxgtk2.6-0, libwxgtk2.6-dbg, and libwxgtk2.6-dev, Gentoo has one package, x11-libs/wxGTK. Packages that never leave ~arch have little to do with lack of developers (though that is something we need to improve on). All it takes is a user request to have the package stabled on their architecture. The stabilizing process is handled by architecture groups rather than the package's maintainer, and so isn't held up in the case the maintainer is MIA.

Millom father fined for obstructing police
Last updated at 16:43, Friday, 30 November 2012
A FATHER-OF-THREE has been fined for obstructing police during an armed siege.
Stuart Lee Crawford pleaded guilty to obstructing a police officer when he appeared at Furness Magistrates' Court, yesterday.
On August 7 this year police were called to an address in Lord Street, Millom, where Keith Bibby had threatened to kill himself with a crossbow. Bibby had also threatened to shoot police officers if they approached him.
Police, firearms officers and dog handlers secured the scene and cordoned off an area around Lord Street, where a crowd of up to 40 people had gathered.
Crawford, of Albert Street, Millom, was sat on the wall of a house in King Street with two other men, directly in the line of fire when they were told to get down by a PC Jones.
The court heard the men, one of whom was Crawford, treated the warning as a joke.
They were told if they didn't move they would be arrested and PC Jones moved back to his position.
Soon after, a police dog handler was having difficulty controlling his dog and a man with a small dog was spotted, along with the three males back on the wall.
The men were told to get down or they would be arrested but Crawford said "You can't arrest me, I'm in my own premises."
PC Jones told them: "You're putting my life at risk and putting the lives of firearms officers at risk."
Crawford continued to challenge his authority before PC Jones entered the yard to find himself surrounded by three men. Crawford, who is 6ft 2in, puffed up his chest and PC Jones threatened Crawford with a Taser before ordering him to put on handcuffs.
Mr Trystan Roberts, defending, said: "What this defendant has done is climb onto a wall to see what was happening.
"He couldn't see the man (with the crossbow) so he didn't consider the risk."
Mrs Jacqui Barnfield, presiding magistrate, said: "You were not only a risk to yourself but also to the police officers involved in the incident."
Crawford, 26, was fined £150 and ordered to pay £85 court costs and a £15 victim surcharge.

Instagram 2.0 adds live filters, high-res uploads, speed increases
Instagram, the photo-sharing app that has taken iOS by storm, is graduating to version 2.0 today — exactly one year after the app was first unveiled. The update adds a plethora of new features that improve on the service's claim to fame: its filters. Instagram says the app is 200x faster at rendering the visual effects than previous versions, and live previews have been added to show off the newfound zippiness. A redesigned photo capture screen adds live tilt-shift controls as well, in addition to a toggle for photo borders no matter what filter you choose. The company has also added four brand new filters to accompany the ever-growing library of options. Resolution for Instagrammed photos has increased up to a maximum 1936 x 1936 when saved locally to your device, but they still upload as a 612-pixel square. Oh, and you can rotate images too! The upgrade is now available in the iTunes store, so grab the free download at the link below.

- Bridging the transgenerational gap with epigenetic memory
Bridging the transgenerational gap with epigenetic memory
Trends in Genetics, Volume 29, Issue 3, 1 March 2013, Pages 176-186
Jana P. Lim and Anne Brunet
AbstractIt is textbook knowledge that inheritance of traits is governed by genetics, and that the epigenetic modifications an organism acquires are largely reset between generations. Recently, however, transgenerational epigenetic inheritance has emerged as a rapidly growing field, providing evidence suggesting that some epigenetic changes result in persistent phenotypes across generations. Here, we survey some of the most recent examples of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance in animals, ranging from Caenorhabditis elegans to humans, and describe approaches and limitations to studying this phenomenon. We also review the current body of evidence implicating chromatin modifications and RNA molecules in mechanisms underlying this unconventional mode of inheritance and discuss its evolutionary implications.

A twin approach to unraveling epigenetics
Trends in Genetics, Volume 27, Issue 3, 1 March 2011, Pages 116-125
Jordana T. Bell and Tim D. Spector
AbstractThe regulation of gene expression plays a pivotal role in complex phenotypes, and epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation are essential to this process. The availability of next-generation sequencing technologies allows us to study epigenetic variation at an unprecedented level of resolution. Even so, our understanding of the underlying sources of epigenetic variability remains limited. Twin studies have played an essential role in estimating phenotypic heritability, and these now offer an opportunity to study epigenetic variation as a dynamic quantitative trait. High monozygotic twin discordance rates for common diseases suggest that unexplained environmental or epigenetic factors could be involved. Recent genome-wide epigenetic studies in disease-discordant monozygotic twins emphasize the power of this design to successfully identify epigenetic changes associated with complex traits. We describe how large-scale epigenetic studies of twins can improve our understanding of how genetic, environmental and stochastic factors impact upon epigenetics, and how such studies can provide a comprehensive understanding of how epigenetic variation affects complex traits.

Epigenetics of the antibody response
Trends in Immunology, Volume , Issue , 03 May 2013, Pages
Guideng Li, Hong Zan, Zhenming Xu and Paolo Casali
AbstractEpigenetic marks, such as DNA methylation, histone post-translational modifications and miRNAs, are induced in B cells by the same stimuli that drive the antibody response. They play major roles in regulating somatic hypermutation (SHM), class switch DNA recombination (CSR), and differentiation to plasma cells or long-lived memory B cells. Histone modifications target the CSR and, possibly, SHM machinery to the immunoglobulin locus; they together with DNA methylation and miRNAs modulate the expression of critical elements of that machinery, such as activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), as well as factors central to plasma cell differentiation, such as B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein-1 (Blimp-1). These inducible B cell-intrinsic epigenetic marks instruct the maturation of antibody responses. Their dysregulation plays an important role in aberrant antibody responses to foreign antigens, such as those of microbial pathogens, and self-antigens, such as those targeted in autoimmunity, and B cell neoplasia.

Epigenetics and miRNAs in the diagnosis and treatment of multiple sclerosis

The risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) depends on both genetic and environmental factors. Although the genetic susceptibility to MS has been investigated in great detail, reports describing epigenetic changes in the context of MS have only recently appeared. Epigenetic changes to DNA influence gene expression without altering the underlying DNA sequence. DNA methylation, histone modification, and miRNA-associated silencing are the three most important epigenetic mechanisms that influence gene expression. In this review, we summarize recent studies investigating epigenetic changes and miRNA as biomarkers for diagnosing MS and predicting disease course or treatment response. We also discuss how the current studies address important clinical questions and how future studies could be designed to best inform clinical practice.

A readily measurable aspect of globalization is the increasing exchange of capital, products and services across national boundaries, spurred by expanded use of container shipping and other technological improvements as well as falling barrier. The interdependence is most apparent with global supply chains, as manufactured goods like vehicles and electronics are assembled with components produced around the world, and it's increasingly rare for any country to be the sole source of any one complex product. Countries aim to increase exports but worry about too many imports and trade imbalances, even as their consumers pursue low prices. Disagreements on subsidies, tariffs, quotas or unfair practices are debated by the World Trade Organization.

The League of American Bicyclists has awarded the town of Fort Collins the "Platinum" level for bicycle friendly communities. That means that this town is at the same bike friendly level as 1) Boulder (I don't like biking in Boulder as much as the fort: Too hilly!);Â 2) Portland OR (There are a lot of cyclists there because of an overabundance of commuters who have lost their driving privileges); and 3) Davis, CA (Well, OK, they are decades ahead of everyone else, but who likes California anyway?)
Bike to the rails
Asad and Jimmy in front of car #21
These two were happily taking passengers from City Park to the historic Avery House and beyond (beyond being a block and a half further down Mountain Avenue) aboard the 94 year old Birney trolley. There were groups of CSU graduation parties who had time to take an historic ride before leaving for DIA on Sunday night.
Bike to the park:
Not the Yangtze River
But along Spring Creek at the College Avenue crossing there are these figures (possibly drawings on paper glued onto the concrete) that appear to be of ancient Chinese people. At least the two on the right look like depictions of Qin Warriors from the terracotta army of Xian.
Bike to Java ?
And lastly, a Javanese Gamelan Orchestra
Who were short one drummer and enlisted the trolley conductor as a last minute stand-in (He still is wearing his conductor hat)
…All on a Sunday afternoon.
The next Level is called DIAMOND. No towns in the US are that bicycle friendly… yet!
