It depends. You must obtain an official transcript from the other college, documenting your earned grade of C or better. If the course is similar in title and description to a course at Becker College, an admissions counselor or program advisor can assist you in transferring the course credits. If the course differs from those offered at Becker College, the course description will be reviewed by the department chair and the Vice President of Academic Affairs. If it is determined to be the equivalent of an existing course, you may substitute the course for a Becker College psychology course. If there isn't an equivalent course listing, it may be accepted as an open, 3-credit elective.
Yes: early childhood education, applied behavior analysis, forensic psychology, and minor in addictions counseling (LADC-II)
No. Students who express an interest in working with specific populations will be encouraged to select a concentration. However, those who wish to follow a more general psychology curriculum may do so.
Students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 overall and 3.0 in courses within the major (non-general education) and must submit a letter of reference from instructors outside of the education and psychology program and a letter of intention. Complete details are available here.
Students can engage in multiple internships. Typical placements for Becker College psychology students include working as a residential counselor, helping adolescents diagnosed with mental health issues; providing respite to families dealing with individuals diagnosed with severe special needs; serving as a co-facilitator for therapy groups in an adolescent substance abuse treatment center; conducting case management activities in an outpatient mental health clinic; working with the activities coordinator in an assisted living center; and providing applied behavior analysis (ABA) services to children with autism.
An increasing number of Becker College psychology program graduates elect to continue their education in the areas of counseling psychology, social work, and marital and family therapy at institutions such as Assumption College, Smith School of Social Work, and the Adler Institute of Psychology. Recent graduates entering the workforce have found employment with Y.O.U., Inc., Early Intervention, Community Healthlink, and the Robert F. Kennedy Children's Action Corps.
Becker College psychology program professors come from a variety of backgrounds, most notably in the fields of counseling and clinical psychology and education. Full-time faculty have specialized interests in child/adolescent mental health, family counseling, trauma studies, social problems, and pastoral counseling. Learn more about our faculty here.
This is entirely possible. However, plans for studying abroad must be made in consultation with your advisor, beginning no later than fall of your sophomore year.

Top 10 Bob Dylan Songs
Just listened to an hour of him, got inspired, so here's the long-awaited list....
Many say: "Great lyrics, pity about that voice."
I would say: "Try singing the songs. There's no other way to sing it than like he does."
Why not just say: "He's bloody awesome. Period."
1o Absolutely Sweet Marie (Blonde On Blonde)
Bob at his lightest. A love-hate relationship with sweet Marie, delivered resignedly amid some joyous organ music. Where are you tonight, sweet Marie? Spine-tingling moment: The sly chorus: "Well anybody can be just like me obviously, but then not too many can be like you, fortunately."
9 I Want You (Blonde On Blonde)
This time, the affection is real. Bob sings about the imaginary obstacles to his love, and that his desire is unchanged. Once, his backing band is top notch, serving up a rare melodic treat. Spine-tingling moment: When his harmonica introduces the song, and Mike Bloomfield complements with a great guitar line.
8 Masters Of War (The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan)
Harrowing anti-war protest. While other may paint pictures of suffering, Bob is articulate enough to scream out his spite at the protagonists. Eight angry verses, each condemning the warmongers to their graves. Hell yeah. Spine-tingling moment: The final verse: "And I hope that you die, and your death'll come soon/I will follow your casket in the pale afternoon/And I'll watch while you're lowered down to your deathbed/And I'll stand o'er your grave till I'm sure that you're dead."
7 Sad-Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands (Blonde On Blonde)
Being the gifted lyricist, Dylan wrote long poems to the cadence of music. The results are hypnotic. This 11-minute ballad to his then-wife, Sara Lowndes, is languid, almost hallucinatory. Extraordinary imagery, tremendously moving. Spine-tingling moment: "My warehouse eyes, my arabian drums/Should I leave them by the gate?/Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?" Inscrutable, yet utterly romantic.
6 A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall (The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan)
In under seven minutes, Dylan encapsulated the bleak world we live in. An unforgettable chorus makes this an unforgettable masterpiece. Spine-tingling moment: "It's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall." You gotta hear it, after all the imagery, to get the chills.
5 Just Like A Woman (Blonde On Blonde)
No other lyricst has the balls to put down a woman like Dylan. This is him at his most unkind, but I know a woman who calls this her favourite Dylan song. The trick is that guy isn't enjoying this put-down. Superb melody though. Spine-tingling moment: "You fake just like a woman, you make love just like a woman, you ache just like a woman, but you break just like a little girl." I'll bet no one, especially in this politically-correct age, dares to write similar lyrics anymore.
4 The Times They Are A-Changin' (The Times They Are A-Changin')
Shut up and change. Dylan's inspirational protest anthem still rings out like a clarion call to arms. Writers, critics, senators, congressmen, mothers, fathers - better listen up. Spine-tingling moment: "The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast/The slow one now will later be fast/As the present now will later be past/The order is rapidly fading/And the first one now will later be last/For the times they are a-changin' "
3 Don't Think Twice, It's All Right (The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan)
I've always liked this song, but I don't really know why. Maybe it's Dylan's tone, his "shrug and move on" attitude. Maybe this song, unlike many of his others, is easy to comprehend. Whatever, don't think twice... Spine-tingling moment: "I ain't saying you treated me unkind/You could have done better but I don't mind/You just kinda wasted my precious time/But don't think twice, it's all right." Also, check out Eric Clapton's blistering version at the Dylan's 30th anniversary concery.
2 Not Dark Yet (Time Out Of Mind)
Haunting and heartbreaking. Dylan ponders mortality, and if anything is still worth living for here. So it's chilling to hear him croak in his tortured voice: "I just don't see why I should even care/It's not dark yet, but it's getting there." Spine-tingling moment: Possibly the most beautiful music that accompanies Dylan's lyrics.
1 Like A Rolling Stone (Highway 61 Revisited)
From the first drum crack, this song enthralls. Indignance at the world fuels Dylan, and no better than this sneering anthem. Hearing him whine at every unfairness, every injustice, it just riles you up to take a pen or guitar and just pour out. Inspiring stuff that cannot be duplicated. Spine-tingling moment: "How does it feel? How does it feel? To be on your own, with no direction home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone." No other lyric sounds so angry, so sad, so bleak, so uplifting, so gut-wrenching.

The Presenting Lenore blog is starting an 'international book blogger mentor program'. I love the idea behind this project.
It can be tough to keep up with the book blogging community when you don't live in the US or Canada. Publishers won't send you books, most contests aren't for you, and it can be next to impossible to find certain titles in your home country.Apply here. Also read: Frequently Asked Questions.
I would like to continue supporting international book bloggers and have decided to start the International Book Blogger Mentor Program. Any book blogger who blogs in English about books and lives outside the US and Canada can apply. Each month I will pick one blogger to send 2-3 of my most recent review copies to. Upon request, I will also look over the reviews you write for the books and suggest improvements. Once you post your first review, I will feature you and your blog on Presenting Lenore.

Most good stories have a main component. You pull back one layer, only to find another. Call me crazy, but I think I may have stumbled on to a Bloomin Onion with this whole Andy Quach DUI story.
At first glance, the story of Andy Quach falling asleep at the wheel of his Mercedes S550 on Saturday night, mowing down a power pole, smashing into a concrete block wall, and getting arrested on suspicion of DUI, appeared to be a story about a single vehicle accident.
Turns out things are not always what they appear. Two and a half days after the accident, we learn that omitted from the initial Westminster PD press announcement was the fact that another vehicle had been involved in the incident. This would be a seemingly insignificant omission if the Police had learned after a couple days of investigation another car was involved. But given the fact that the people were treated at the scene by paramedics, one has to wonder how they simply forgot to include that information.
In an earlier post (QuachGate: Driving Into Power) I mentioned rumors about there possibly being a passenger in the car with Councilman Quach at the time of the accident. The police statements indicate that Quach was alone. But then again, they initially forgot to mention that there was another car involved. On the surface there seems to be no reason to suspect that anyone else was in the car with Quach.
Well in digging around I did confirm a couple of things. First, Andy Quach is in fact a fundraising consultant for Van Tran's Congressional campaign. As of the reports filed for the last quarter, Tran owes Quach $2,000 for his services. Second, I have learned that indeed Andy Quach was working for Van Tran on Saturday night.
Specifically, my sources indicate that Quach accompanied Assemblyman Tran, and fellow Westminster Councilman Tyler Diep to a meeting with current and potential donors for Tran's Congressional Campaign at the Citryst Restaurant located at 15440 Brookhurst in Westminster. The three met with several donors including (according to my sources) Jenny Tang whose husband Gary owns Westminster Press, and Nhon Newton Tran owner of Pho 54 a neighboring restaurant to Citryst. Newton Tran is listed as a $1,000 contributor to Van Tran's Congressional campaign. The private dinner meeting was supposedly an effort by Tran to patch up differences with old allies.
The OC Register has reported that Quach said he was on his way home after having dinner with friends when the crash occurred. Okay, Let's take his statement at face value and presume he was telling the truth and he had been nowhere else, and was on his way home directly from that "dinner with friends."
According to the campaign finance reports filed by Van Tran, Councilman Quach lives at 10251 Finchley Avenue in Westminster. As you can see from the map below, to get from Citryst (A) to his home the most direct route would be to travel north on Brookhurst.
So why then was Quach across town on McFadden hitting a car traveling eastbound on McFadden. I am assuming at this point that Quach was traveling westbound on McFadden. I need to confirm what direction he was actually traveling from the police report, which I have yet to get my hands on.
Well, I may have a possible reason why Quach was traveling away from his home while on the way home. Since Assemblyman Van Tran lives in Sacramento and not in his district, he rarely drives himself around town when he is in OC, his staff does that for him. It is likely that Quach, was Tran's driver for this fundraising dinner. Accepting this premise then Quach would have been driving Tran home from the dinner. It is also likely that, since alcohol was consumed at the dinner, he would have chosen a route with limited traffic to get to Tran's parent's home(C) off of Magnolia between Bolsa and Westminster.
If Quach were driving Tran home (C) via McFadden and missed the right turn on to Magnolia, it is possible that he decided to hang a U-Turn on McFadden (B), clipped the other car, and BANG we have our accident.
I know it seems crazy. But the only way it makes sense for Councilman Quach to be where he was, given what he said he was doing before the accident, would be for him to have had a reason to be travelling in that direction. Given the routes and destinations possible based upon what we know at this point, Ithink it is reasonable to suspect that Quach might have been driving Assemblyman Tran home when the accident occurred.
So I've got to wonder; has anyone seen Van Tran in the last couple of days? Why didn't Tyler Diep mention in his comments to the media that he had been with Quach on Saturday night?Â
Again, Lou Dobbs says it best; "So many questions remain."
Something tells me this story isn't over by a long-shot.

2.1 million Audis have cheating engines
Millions of cars manufactured by Volkswagen's luxury subsidiary Audi were also fitted with engines containing software enabling them to cheat regulators' emissions tests, media reported on Monday.
An Audi spokesman told Spiegel Online that of the 2.1 million Audis affected, 577,000 were registered in Germany, out of a total of 1.42 million affected cars in western Europe.
The Audi cars affected include A1, A3, A4, A6, TT, Q3 and Q5 models fitted with 1.6- and 2-litre turbodiesel engines.
Only engines that were tested under the EU 5 emissions standards were fitted with the cheating software, while newer cars tested under EU 6 are not affected.
German authorities at the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) have given VW until October 7th to submit a timetable for a technical fix for vehicles fitted with the test-dodging software, a spokesman said on Monday.
11 million cars worldwide
Eleven million cars worldwide produced by Volkswagen Group (VW), which owns a slew of mass-market and luxury brands including Porsche, Skoda, SEAT, Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini, were fitted with the software.
So far the company has admitted that Audi, Skoda, and SEAT cars, as well as some light utility vehicles produced by other VW subsidiaries, used engines including the so-called "defeat device".
Designed to detect when the cars were undergoing regulatory testing, the program built into the car's on-board computer would temporarily reduce emissions of nitrous oxides, which are harmful to human health and the ozone layer, by up to 40 times.
Volkswagen Group's stock price had already fallen by more than seven percent in morning trading on Monday before the news broke

What People Are Talking About Tonight
HEARD ON THE STREET: FACEBOOK'S INSTANT PRODUCT FIX/WSJ - Rolfe Winkler: "Mark Zuckerberg says he doesn't "plan on doing many more" big acquisitions. But don't hold him to that. As fast as Facebook is trying to innovate in the social-media world, it is being outpaced in crucial areas. Photo-sharing may be a key feature of Facebook, yet for mobile devices, it is Instagram that has captured the momentum. Instagram has more than 30 million users, generated mostly via the Apple App Store. The $1 billion price tag of Facebook's deal for Instagram looks hefty, especially considering Instagram has no revenue. Yet it is small relative to the $100 billion valuation Facebook hopes to secure via its initial public offering. Is Pinterest next?
FACEBOOK TIES TO INSTAGRAM ALREADY RAN DEEP/WSJ - David Benoit: "Maybe Instagram was a "people you may know" suggestion for Facebook for some time. Today Facebook and Instagram announced that Facebook would buy the photo-sharing application for $1 billion in cash and Facebook's soaring shares. And, as is the case in much of the recent tech boom, these two companies have been running in the same circles, even if they hadn't come into direct contact until now. One of the earliest investors in Instagram was Andreessen-Horowitz, the venture capitalists run by Marc Andreessen, the co-founder of Netscape who has sat on Facebook's board since 2008. Since its founding in 2009, Andreessen-Horowitz has become one of the most aggressive investors in the new generation of internet companies, and now stands to make a bundle on the Instagram."
INSTAGRAM SIGNALS BREAK IN FACEBOOK'S DEAL-MAKING STYLE/NY TIMES - Michael J. De La Merced: "Facebook's $1 billion takeover of Instagram is notable in many ways, including size. But it's also the first time the social-networking titan didn't strike a deal almost entirely for the programming talent of its target. The purchase of Instagram, the photo-sharing darling in which users can tweak their snapshots with a variety of filters, instead signals a major product acquisition by Facebook. It's the biggest by far of the social network's 23 announced acquisitions, according to data from Capital IQ."
MEET THE 28-YEAR-OLD WHO MADE $400 MILLION TODAY/BUSINESS INSIDER- Nicholas Carlson: "Kevin Systrom is the cofounder and CEO of Instagram, which Facebook just acquired for $1 billion. Reports say Systrom will make $400 million in the deal. Instagram is a photo-sharing app that launched just a couple years ago, and already has 30 million users. We'd love to talk to Systrom about the deal, how he got to where he is today, and his plans going forward. But we can't. Facebook is going to IPO next month, and that means its executives — now including Systrom — are required to honor the SEC's "quiet period" rules. Fortunately, Systrom is not just a wildly successful CEO, he's also a Quora addict. He's answered over 50 questions on the site. Also, Systrom did a Q&A with Business Insider's Matt Rosoff last fall. Below, we've collected (and lightly edited) some of the best questions and on-record-answers from those resources to compile a Q&A with Silicon Valley's newest $400 million man."
HEARD ON THE STREET: AOL: YOU'VE GOT MOOLAH/WSJ - Thorold Barker: "AOL is back in the technology big league-at least when it comes to cash piles. Once the Internet company completes its $1.1 billion patent sale and licensing agreement with Microsoft it will top even Apple in terms of percentage of market value accounted for by straight cash. In AOL's case, it will be $15 a share, or more than half of its current $26 stock price. Apple's roughly $100 billion hoard compares with a market capitalization approaching $600 billion. There any comparisons end. While Apple is adding to its cash by selling more devices, AOL is doing so by selling some family silver. Its operating business is still shrinking as AOL tries to offset the decline in its subscription access business with an aggressive content strategy to boost advertising growth."
REVIEW IS EXTENDED FOR VIVUS' WEIGHT-LOSS DRUG QNEXA/WSJ - Drew Fitzgerald: "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration extended its review of Vivus Inc.'s weight-loss drug Qnexa by three months to give it more time to examine the company's latest submission. Following the news, Vivus shares sank 8.4% to $21 in after-hours trading Monday as the company said Qnexa's target date is now set at July 17. The delay comes after Vivus shares more than doubled in February on Qnexa's backing from a federal advisory panel, which cleared the way for U.S. approval of the first prescription diet drug in more than a decade."
SODASTREAM SEEKS COSMETICS PARTNER/FT - Louise Lucas: "SodaStream is exploring a tie-up with a cosmetics partner to take its soda siphons, which graced many a Mad Men-style cocktail party in the 1960s, into Japanese bathrooms. The move into skincare comes as Nasdaq-listed SodaStream, whose past owners have included Cadbury Schweppes, seeks to carve out a bigger share of the $260 billion at-home fizzy drink market now dominated by Coca-Cola and PepsiCo of the U.S.. SodaStream discovered a predilection among Japanese women to wash their faces in sparkling water while it was ramping up its overseas drive. "It's a classic story of stumbling over a consumer insight unintentionally," said Daniel Birnbaum, chief executive. "That could bring life to a different product line that could be sold through cosmetic chains."
FEDS AIM TO SACK EX-BEARS QB JIM MCMAHON/CHICAGO SUN-TIMES - Tim Novak, Chris Fusco & Dan Mihalopoulos: "The federal government is looking to throw former Chicago Bears Super Bowl quarterback Jim McMahon for a loss. Long after his football career ended, McMahon quietly spent six years as a board member for Broadway Bank, owned by the family of Alexi Giannoulias, the former Illinois state treasurer who made an unsuccessful run for President Barack Obama's old U.S. Senate seat two years ago. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. shut down the failed bank in April 2010. And now McMahon is among seven former Broadway Bank board members and two former bank executives who have been personally targeted in a lawsuit the FDIC filed to recover $104 million lost from 17 bad loans the bank made before regulators shut it down."
SO WE SAILED INTO THE SUN, UNTIL WE FOUND THE SEA OF GREEN: Disclosed in a filing, Transocean CEO Steven Newman's 2011 total compensation was up 57% to $9.9 million… even though RIG's stock fell 45% last year. Looking further back... he even saw a compensation increase in 2010 from 2009 levels — even following the Deepwater horizon fiasco.

Long-term use and abuse of opioid painkillers, such as OxyContin and Vicodin, has markedly increased in the United States in the last two decades. Of note, prescription opioids constitute 86.9 percent of prescription drug misuse among high school students. And last week in a two-day U.S. Food and Drug Administration public meeting, officials questioned the use of long-term opioids for chronic pain due to a lack of evidence for the effectiveness and concerns about the potential risk for addiction.
While previous studies have shown that depression and substance abuse peaks during adolescence and young adulthood, studies assessing the link between mental health issues and opioid use in this population were lacking.
Laura Richardson, MD, and a team at the Seattle Children's Research Institute and the University of Washington conducted a longitudinal study to examine the association between mental health disorders and subsequent risk for long-term opioid use among adolescents and young adults ages 13 to 24. They found that those with mental health disorders were not only more likely to be prescribed opioids for chronic pain but also 2.4 times more likely to become long-term opioid users than those who didn't have a mental health disorder. The study also found that long-term opioid use was more common among males, older youth and youth who lived in communities that were poorer, had more white residents, and had fewer residents who had attended college.
"Mental Health Disorders and Long-term Opioid Use Among Adolescents and Young Adults With Chronic Pain," was published in the June 2012 Journal of Adolescent Health. The study's data set contains information from January 2001 to June 2008, and tracked opioid usage patterns of 62,560 adolescent and young adults from the West, Midwest and Southwest regions of the United States. Long-term opioid use is defined as using opioids for more than 90 days within a six-month period with no gap of usage over 30 days. Chronic pain complaints included back pain, neck pain, headache and arthritis or joint pain.
"There are a number of reasons why adolescents and young adults with mental health issues are more likely to become long-term users of opioids," said Dr. Richardson, who is also an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington. "Depression and anxiety might increase pain symptoms and lead to longer treatment, and physicians may see depressed patients as being more distressed and may be willing to treat pain symptoms over a longer period of time."
While there may be a role for opioids in treating some patients, Dr. Richardson offers the following tips aimed to help reduce risk of long-term opioid use for parents, patients and medical professionals:

Dear Readers,
I didnt get any letters I could use for this weeks column (write me some!) so I decided to talk about a story thats been really bothering me. This week, you get unsolicited advice. And that is, dont do this.
The original story can be read in full here: www.slate.com/id/2192178/. Its well worth the read. Its a love story with the saddest ending since Romeo and Juliet. Only this one is real. She was in her eighties, and he was 94. They both suffered from dementia and lived in the same nursing home. And none of that is unusual. What is unusual is that these two fell in love.
She used to wear the same yellow dress, day in, day out. But once she began this new relationship, she dressed up, did her hair, wore jewelry, smiled and was happy all the time. Her doctors said her health and mental clarity both improved immensely. Similar benefits were seen in him.
But when his son walked in on this blissfully happy couple having sex one day, he threw a hissy fit, and demanded someone put a stop to the relationship immediately. When no amount of effort on the part of the staff managed to keep the lovers apart, the anal little jerk moved his father to a new place, crushing both their spirits, breaking both their hearts, and robbing them of their last chance at happiness in this lifetime.
Why any human being would want to do so something so hurtful and so cruel to his own father, is beyond me. The only good thing about the womans illness, is that the Alzheimer's has caused her to forget. And yet it's clear that she's broken, devastated, just unsure why.
Since reading this story (it made me cry) Ive been talking to everyone I see about it, and a lot of nurses and aids who work at nursing homes have told me that this type of thing happens all the time. People find love in the waning months of their lives, and their younger relatives tear it apart. Its far more the exception than the rule, but it happens often enough that everyone I talk to can tell me a brand new story with the same heart-wrenching theme.
Now, if one is living on one's own, alert and sharp and has a significant will to hold over their offsprings' heads, this wouldnt be a problem. But you have to think about what happens if youre ever not.
We all know its vital, at every point in our lives, to have our wills up to date, to have health care proxies signed and on file, living wills spelled out so even an imbecile would know our wishes regarding life support and extreme measures and DNR orders. We know to be sure everyone and their brother gets a copy. But now we have a new terminology to learn. A Sexual Power of Attorney. If it ever gets to where you think anyone is going to have more power over your love life than you do, then you need to be the one to decide who it is. And then you need to put it in writing and get it on file somewhere. Youd hate to end up meeting the love of your life at the age of 90, and having someone else decide it wasnt a good idea to let you be with him! You might have to beat them to death with your walker!
Now the bright side of the story, because there is one, after all. Isnt it wonderful that the two people I mentioned above, managed to find each other? Isnt it wonderful that he didnt need any little blue pills to get his engines running? Isnt it beautiful to think that love knows no such thing as age?
Oh, yeah. Im evil. Its a good thing Im not a nurse or an aid. Id be operating the Underground Booty-Call Railroad, and running interference to keep the offspring from catching on. Shoot, Id provide music and candles. But then, Im a romantic at heart.
The best part of the story for me, is the reminder that love has no limitations. Its never too early and it's never too late. And also, the knowing that you still feel like a twitterpated teen when you fall head over heels, no matter what your true age might be. Love is the most powerful force in the universe, and aside from the sad ending, this love story was a good one.
And its one on which I hope to base a story. Only you know, I'll fix that ending. Big time.
Heres hoping we all have love in our lives, now and always!

HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, Florida – Following a SCIAC Championship title, the Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's golf team will head to Howey-In-The-Hills, Florida to participate in the 2017 NCAA Division III Men's Golf Championships at Mission Inn Resort & Club from May 16-19. No. 12 CMS will be among the 33 schools participating at the tournament which features a total of 215 individuals.
The Stags won the national title last season after finishing six shots ahead of runner-up Huntingdon College while sophomore Alex Wrenn (CMC) almost took the individual title after getting edged out by Evan Cox of Virginia Wesleyan College in a three-way playoff. The 2016 championships were played at Midvale Country Club and Mendon Golf Club in Rochester, New York.
With four members from the national championship team returning to this year's edition of the tournament, the Stags hope to repeat the success they had last year. Junior Jonathan Shaw (CMC) finished tied in first place at the SCIAC Championship after scoring even on a 216-stroke course and earning All-SCIAC First Team honors. Shaw averaged 73.38 this season and scored as low as 70 in a single round back at the California State Intercollegiate Tournament.
Junior Matt Shuman (CMC) has built a reputation around his consistency and had several outstanding performances throughout the season. At the Jekyll Island Collegiate Invitational, Shuman shot 71 in his first two rounds and finished tied for 15th. He also shot a season-low 69 at the West Cup, where he finished tied for fourth. His classmate Johnny Brandt (CMC) has finished in the top-15 in all three SCIAC events this season, placing tied for ninth at the SCIAC Championship. Brandt also was the second-highest finisher in his region at Jekyll Island, scoring 223, including an incredible 72 at the final day of the tournament.
Wrenn hopes to find similar success as he did last year and be a major contributor to the Stags' team score. The sophomore has had several excellent tournaments this season, taking first place at the West Cup Individual, shooting 149 over two rounds. After a rough first round at the SCIAC Championship, Wrenn demonstrated his maturity and poise by scoring 74 and a season-low 70 in the next two rounds, respectively, to finish tied for ninth at the SCIAC Championship.
Freshman Harrison Brenner (CMC) has been capable of posting low-scoring rounds in his debut season, scoring as little as 68 back at the TMU Spring Invitational. He also shot a 70 in the final round of the SCIAC Championship to finish tied for 13th.

UK degrees are three years long whereas in China they are four, therefore we do accept students with certain qualifications directly into Year Two, which is the start of the main academic programme. Most students, however, enter into Year One, which provides you with a range of interesting modules, language classes and core skills for your degree.
The BEng Architecture programme aims to provide you with a comprehensive foundation in architecture. Through architectural design tasks you will be guided in developing an understanding of the importance of human needs and desires, as well as developing creative and responsible solutions.
Why should I study Architecture at XJTLU?
- RIBA Part 1 validation demonstrates the department's commitment to providing world-class, internationally recognised education
- Excellent opportunities for further studies - around 20 percent of our graduates have received offers for further study from top-ranked universities in the field, such as the University of Pennsylvania in the USA, the Bartlett School of Architecture at the University College London in the United Kingdom, the University of Sydney in Australia, the Politecnico di Milano in Italy, McGill University in Canada and the National University of Singapore
- Opportunities for exciting work experience and internships - students and graduates have worked for internationally acclaimed offices such as David Chipperfield, Arata Isozaki, Arup, Neri&Hu and TFP Farrells

RIBA validation
The BEng Architecture programme has become the first programme of its kind at a Chinese university to receive validation by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), thus demonstrating XJTLU's commitment to providing world-class, internationally recognised education to students from China and abroad.
The Royal Institute commended the Department of Architecture and its staff for "creating a distinctive environment in which students learn from an international and Chinese context with an ambition to produce a new type of graduate, with an emphasis on human-centred architecture, for the emerging global context."

After graduation, I've been working in Beijing for a year. I've had success in applying to masters programmes at several world-class universities. The Department is significantly important to me and I really appreciate everything I've learnt here.Chenxing Sun Alumnus, BEng Architecture, China
How to apply
The architecture programme at XJTLU is ambitious, reflecting the demands and challenges professional architects are facing. Studies in architecture in general require an exceptional mix of strengths besides purely academic ones. These include strong creativity, visualisation (3D thinking and drawing) skills, aesthetic sensitivity, the ability to develop and to communicate complex ideas professionally and under time pressure as well as excellent self‐motivation and self‐management. Architecture students without these strengths face great difficulties during their studies. For these reasons, there is an architecture specific process for the admission to the BEng Architecture.
The architecture admission process at XJTLU requires candidates to present evidence or potential of their creative abilities and their commitment to the field of architecture. In 2015, around two thirds of the applicants were admitted to the BEng Architecture on the basis of a portfolio and statement produced in an on-site workshop during semester one of Year One.
All applicants interested in architecture need to also go through the regular XJTLU application process. Mainland Chinese candidates, please visit the how to apply page.
International applicants should submit their application via our online application system:
- Click/tap the APPLY link
- Create an account or log in to your existing account
- Complete your application
Once your application account is successfully created, enter all the information required in the application form carefully and make sure the information you provide is correct, complete and up to date. For application to the BEng Architecture you are asked to submit a portfolio. Subsequently, you will be invited for an online application interview. However, please notice that you do not have to submit your portfolio during your initial application. The portfolio file can also be submitted later, after having completed and submitted the initial online application.
Please see the application guidelines for details related to the admission process for international applicants to the BEng Architecture programe. The guidelines also specify the requirements for the portfolio and provide information about the application interview.
You may log-in to view your application form at any time.

Benefit concert for F.I.R.S.T. foundation scheduled for Saturday
WILCOX – Bailey Pretak and friends will present "Release the Butterfly," a concert to benefit the Foundation for Ichthyosis and Related Skin Types on Saturday, Sept. 1 at 7 p.m. at the Johnsonburg Area High School Auditorium. The concert is free of charge, but a free-will offering will be taken and all proceeds go to the F.I.R.S.T. foundation to fund research and publicity. This weekend's concert will feature inspirational music by dancers and singers who will tell a story of those who have Ichthyosis. "The concert will basically be telling stories," Bailey Pretak said. "All of the songs being performed were selected because the lyrics share messages about what it is like to live being different."Pretak has spent the last few weeks collecting sentences from people who share a brief understanding of their journey with Ichthyosis. "People will get to hear what people go through (with Ichthyosis)," Pretak explained. "I used to not feel confident and hated my skin; now I am confident and fine with it."Pretak was born with Lamellar Ichthyosis, a rare genetic skin disorder. F.I.R.S.T. has played an important role in educating her and her family, inspiring her to become all she can be, and connecting her with others affected with the disorder who offer support.

Nassau finance agency takes up union deals to end wage freeze
Nassau County's financial control board is scheduled to vote Friday on proposed union deals that would lift a three-year wage freeze.
The 4 p.m. meeting of the Nassau Interim Finance Authority follows approval by the State Legislature of Nassau's request to install 56 speed cameras in school zones that according to estimates could generate more than $25 million for the county annually. Suffolk also received approval for 69 cameras.
Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano has said money from the cameras will be part of $129 million in new revenue the county will use to pay for increased salaries if union contract concessions do not generate expected savings.
In March, NIFA outlined conditions the county and unions could meet to lift the freeze, including a lower salary scale and health care contributions by future employees.
Four of the five major county unions -- the Civil Service Employees Association, the Police Benevolent Association, the Detectives Association and the Superior Officers Association -- agreed to the conditions, and memorandums of agreement with the county were approved by the county legislature on April 7. A deal with the county's correction officers has not been finalized.
PBA president James Carver said Thursday he anticipated NIFA approval of the union deals. "It will bring certainty to the whole workforce, which is what the county needs," after NIFA imposed the wage freeze in 2011, Carver said.
NIFA chairman Jon Kaiman did not return a call for comment Thursday. In an interview following the State Senate's approval of the speed cameras Wednesday, he said Nassau "is coming forward with revenue and savings that give me greater confidence that they can cover the costs" of the agreements.
Union leaders say concessions will save hundreds of millions of dollars, but NIFA has estimated the labor deals could cost the county $129 million. The Nassau legislature's budget review office reported that the four union deals could cost from $120 million to $292 million, depending on when current employees retire and new employees are hired.
Democrats on the 19-member county legislature joined Republicans in a unanimous vote for the CSEA contract, noting that the union represents the county's lowest-paid workers. But six of the eight Democrats abstained from voting on the law-enforcement contracts, citing concerns about how the county would pay for all of the agreements.
Minority Leader Kevan Abrahams (D-Freeport) has questioned whether the county will generate enough money from the speed cameras, citing a report by legislative budget office director Maurice Chalmers that predicts an annual revenue of $12 million compared with Mangano's estimate of $25 million

text: 02 February 2010This week's Grammy awards ceremony saw the biggest stars in the music business dazzling crowds, many of them with a little help from cosmetic surgery.Celebrity plastic surgery website Make Me Heal suggested that nose jobs were on display by singers such as Beyonce, Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas' Fergie, while Mary J Blige showed off a possible boob job by wearing a revealing dress. Beyonce is rumoured to have undergone several cosmetic surgery procedures, including rhinoplasty, breast enlargement and liposuction. Plastic surgeon Dr Anthony Youn agrees that the singer may have had a nose job, stating: "It does appear that her nose has been thinned to look more elegant. It matches her face well, is not overdone, and overall looks great. She has extraordinary grace in front of the camera." Other celebrities left little doubt in the minds of leading surgeons that they had certainly gone under the knife. 23-year-old Lady Gaga took home the award for Best Dance Recording for her song Poker Face, and cosmetic surgeon Dr Paul S Nassif believes the singer has undergone a nose job. He explained: "Lady GaGa definitely had a rhinoplasty. It looks a little pinched, but not bad." Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie is the performer rumoured to have undergone the most surgery in her long career. The 34-year-old is reported to have had a nose job, breast augmentation, brow lift, Botox and cheek and chin implants.

Hard hits make sports fans gasp and flinch, but they're far tougher on the players.
In April, fans watched in shock as Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa was knocked off his feet, strapped to a stretcher, carted off the ice and taken to the emergency room during the playoffs.
On Tuesday, the Hawks felt déjà vu as Hossa left the ice after another head injury. This time, a Vancouver player leveled him with a forearm to the back of the head.

text: Triverse writes, "Games starring a Polish Highlander don't come along every day that is why Janosik is so interesting. Having just hit the ZX Spectrum, Janosik is interesting as the backstory makes him sound like a Robin Hood of sorts. In this new game for the Spectrum, players are tasked with saving Janosik's love, Maryna, from the evil castle where she is being held captive (cliche as all get out but still somewhat different)."

The Bonehill Curse is the third (and supposedly final?) book from the horrific world of Mortlock and The Demon Collector. It follows Necessity Bonehill, fearless tomboy bully, as she sets about unleashing and then trying to rebottle a fearsome Djinni. She romps (in a good way!) across the world on boats and magic carpets, fighting and arguing with annoying boys and the Djinns relentless minions. Eventually she's forced to confronts her true destiny and turns into a nice girl.
Here you'll find Jon Mayhew's usual mix of action, fun and horror. There's also the usual cameos from some of the characters that appeared in Mortlock and The Demon Collector. The story rattles on at just the right pace and for me this was the most enjoyable of the three books; it really captures the essence of a lot of the olden day films that Jon says influenced it.
The only thing I didn't like is that it came in paperback so doesn't match my copies of Mortlock and The Demon Collector.
Go read it.
The Bonehill Curse is available now for about £6.

Hurricane Irma
As we continue our recovery and cleanup efforts, please visit the Emergency website for the latest information on openings and closings in Miami-Dade County.
The Sexual Predator and Offender (SPO) Unit gathers, analyzes, disseminates and maintains investigative information on all sexual predators and sexual offenders who reside within unincorporated Miami-Dade County (MDC). The Unit monitors the activities and addresses of these sexual predators and offenders to ensure compliance with Chapter 775, FS, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) guidelines.
Additionally, the SPO Unit processes sexual predators and offenders for registration and re-registration in accordance with the Jessica Lunsford Act and the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act while taking enforcement actions when necessary to ensure compliance.
The Unit ensures compliance with Section 775.21, FS, which requires the Department to make community notifications within 48 hours whenever a sexual predator moves to a temporary or permanent residence within a one-mile radius of any public or private school or day care facility within unincorporated MDC.
The SPO Unit also maintains several community notification programs that extend beyond statutory requirements; including the REVERSE 9∙1∙1 Interactive Community Notification System, publication of a circular in various local newspapers and a bulletin on the Miami-Dade Television channel (MDTV) informing the public of absconded and wanted sexual predators, community presentations, and the Special Victims Bureau website.
In addition, the SPO Unit handles calls received from landlords that need to verify if the nature of a particular sexual offender's crime permits them to live within 2,500 feet of a school in MDC. The Unit then provides the results directly to landlords and/or agents representing the rental property.

Sam & Max Season One Hits Wii This Fall
Following the wacky exploits of dog detective Sam and the bunny-thing Max, both of whom are freelance police officers, Telltale's series is based on the work of Steve Purcell, which also inspired LucasArts' adventure Sam & Max Hit the Road (PC) and an animated series in the early 90's.
Consisting of six installments, the episodes of Sam & Max Season One were incrementally released on the PC across late 2006 and early 2007, with the full season hitting store shelves after its conclusion. Telltale has long expressed its interest in bringing the series to Wii.
JoWooD will handle the publishing and distribution of the Wii edition. Much like the retail release of Season One PC, the North American edition of Sam & Max Wii will be published under JoWooD's The Adventure Company brand.
Currently underway, the second season of Sam & Max PC concludes on April 10 with the release of Episode 205: What's New, Beelzebub? (PC).

I tried to confirm this quote directly with Carpenter. He replied that he never said it, did not believe it, and would appreciate if people stop spreading fabrications to falsely exploit his name.
What evidebnce do you have that he really said it, and that it wasn't just some UFO nut's internet fabrication to sway the easily-deluded?

The Apollo Myth is built upon a thousand lies.
Lies, such as, Neil Armstrong's "One Small Step..." speech. Little lies.
All these little lies add up. They add up to a bigger lie. The Apollo moon landings are a lie.edit on 1/4/2013 by SayonaraJupiter because: (no reason given)edit on 1/4/2013 by SayonaraJupiter because: (no reason given)

me and the family were watching a documentary last night about the famous NASA tether incident. and i saw you pop up on the screen talking about it.
I have some questions for you which i am interested in hearing as you appear to have spent alot of time researching things.
Where do you stand on UFOs/Aliens ? in your own opinion?
Do you think aliens are visiting earth and they are being hidden from us?
Have you ever seen a UFO or had any personal encounters?
Did you work for NASA, if so dod you ever hear anything about aliens or any talk that there could be such things, or anything suspicions on the moon? ie some testimony about moon bases and structures

BEAST releases the dance version M/V for "12:30"
Last month, we made a drama list to celebrate BEAST's most recent comeback with their song "12:30." Doojoon, Hyunseung, Junhyung, Yoseob, Kikwang, and Dongwoon had a surprise for fans last week when they released a video with a dance version of the music video.
Focusing solely on the group, this video moves away from the story line to show the precise performance that is the dance for this song. Providing some striking visuals as time moves back and forth, the choreography itself is very abrupt, which lends to the frustration that is found in the lyrics. Let's take a look!
See Shin Ha Kyun as an elderly chaebol who ages in reverse in the romantic comedy Mr Baek:
The visuals are fantastic. Watch the music video below:
Are you a fan of BEAST? What do you think of performance version of "12:30"? Which version of the of the music video do you prefer? Let me know in the comments below or tweet @Hallyu_Tanya!

ECRCHS Tips on UC Application- 2016 Handout
Presenting Yourself UC Application- Powerpoint
Link to Approved UC/CSU Online Courses for 2016-2017: Type in "online"
ECRCHS UC Approved Courses- Handout
College Admissions:
To be eligible for admission to a four-year university, students must meet subject requirements. These requirements represent the minimum academic standards for eligibility. Meeting the minimum eligibility requirement does not guarantee admission.
Please note that UC's recommend or require students to complete above and beyond the minimum requirements for admissions.
(A) 2 Years of Social Studies (World History, U.S. History, Government)
(B) 4 Years of English
(C) 3 Years of Math (Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II)
4 years recommended
(D) 2 Years of Lab Science (Biology, Chemistry)
3 years recommended
(E) 2 Years of Foreign Language
3 years recommended
(F) 1 Year of Visual/Performing Art
(G) 1 Year of Electives from any category (A-F)
The University of California and California State University systems have similar pattern of academic courses required for freshman eligibility. Although in most instances, the CSU and UC have fully aligned their basic requirements for eligibility for admission, in some areas, CSU and UC will continue to have different admission practices. To view a grid differentiating the requirements click here: CSU/UC Comparison of Freshman Admission Requirements.
The subject courses students take must be certified as meeting the UC/CSU requirement and must be included on the El Camino"s UC certified course list. Follow this link to see the list of ECRCHS approved honors courses.
The grade point average calculation will include only those grades earned in the "a-g" subject courses taken during the 10th and 11th grades of high school. Grades earned for courses completed in the ninth grade and 12th grades are not counted in the GPA. Students can use the GPA calculator to calculate their UC/CSU GPA.
Both the UC and CSU will award honors points in calculating the GPA for up to eight semesters of UC approved honors level and AP courses taken in 10th and 11th grades. The University limits the amount of UC certified honors credit student may receive for work completed in 10th grade to no more than four semesters. And not all honors classes will receive the extra points (H World History, H English 10AB, H Algebra 2AB, H Biology AB do not receive extra points). Follow this link to see the list of ECRCHS approved honors courses.
Freshman applicants must submit either the ACT Assessment plus Writing or the SAT Test and Writing.
There are 9 undergraduate campuses; UCSF has only graduate programs

There are 14 factors UC considers in the admissions process. The comprehensive review process allows the readers to look beyond the grades and required test scores and evaluate the academic achievement of applicants in light of the opportunities available to them and their potential to contribute to the campus.
The ELC program ensures that academically talented and deserving students from all over California have the opportunity to join us at UC. ELC status adds value to the application and is one of the 14 factors considered when applications are reviewed. Additionally, ELC students not admitted to any of their campus choices are offered a spot at a UC campus that has space, if minimum UC requirements are met. The top 9% of each graduating class will be designated as an ELC student.
The UC application opened on August 1 and must be submitted by between November 1- November 30. Students are encouraged to take their time completing the application and to gather materials, such as grades and transcripts, and prepare their personal statements ahead of time. There is no benefit or disadvantage to students who choose to submit their applications earlier or later in the moth. Once the application is submitted, only limited edits can be made.
1. Send official ACT or SAT scores to just one UC campus: UC will share them with all the campuses to which you applied
2. December Examination Dates are acceptable even though the application is due by November 30th. Indicate your Dec 2015 planned test date(s) on the admission application; be sure to request that the official scores be sent to one UC campus
3. Do not send transcripts/academic records; UC will request them if they are needed during the review process
4. Do not send letters of recommendations; UC does not require them or read them unless they are requested.
5. After submitting your application, you can log in to your application to review and, if necessary,change your telephone number, e-mail, mailing address or report new SAT or ACT scores. Minor changes to your activities, awards, volunteer work, employment or personal statement are unlikely to have an impact on your admission decision. However, if significant updates in any of these areas, you may notify the UC Application Center at email@example.com
There is a checklist of things for you to do after you apply.
Remember to send your test scores!
You do not need to send transcripts. You will send it only if they email you and ask you to send one.
Essays, personal statements, and personal insight questions will help colleges become acquainted with you as a person and a student apart from grades, courses, test scores, and other objective data. You will also be able to demonstrate your ability to organize your thoughts and express yourself in a cohesive and meaningful essay. Think of your essays and responses as opportunities to share accomplishments, perspectives, talents, and experiences that are important to you. The University of California asks students to answer personal insight questions that are designed to get to know you better. Think of these questions as an interview with the admissions office. As an undergraduate applicant, the University of California wants you to be open and reflective and find your individual voice as you compose your answers.

Cardinal Against Cardinal: Cardinal Marx Gives Cardinal Müller Stinkfinger at Press Conference?
Cardinal Marx's Stinkfinger
Text: Giuseppe Nardi
Trans: Tancred
Edit: anyone who knows anything knows that Marx is evil and should be sent to Antarctica to live a lay monk's life.
(Rome) Yesterday, Pope Francis received an "ecumenical delegation", as it is called in the Italian part of the official website of the Holy See, or a "delegation of the Council of the Evangelical Church in Germany", as it is called in the German part of the Internet site.
The fact is that the EKD delegation was accompanied by Cardinal Reinhard Marx, Archbishop of Munich-Freising and President of the German Bishops' Conference, which made the evangelical delegation evidently an "ecumenical"one in the eyes of some. Some really love the word "ecumenism".
At the subsequent press conference, Cardinal Marx also took a position on the "interpretation" of the German Bishops on the disputed post-synodal letter Amoris laetitia by Pope Francis. On 1 February, the German Bishops' Conference announced its guidelines for the implementation of Amoris laetitia. The bishops speak of a "renewed marriage and family pastoral in the light of Amoris laetitia." By "renewed" is meant specifically the particularly controversial chapter VIII. According to the DBK interpretation, newly married divorced persons are now admitted to the sacraments.
Cardinal Müller to German Bishops: "When the blind leads the blind"
On the same day another German bishop and cardinal, Prefect of the Congregation for the Congregation of the Faith, Gerhard Müller, spoke in an interview with the monthly magazine Il Timone, declaring that the reception of Communion was "impossible" for remarried and divorced couples. Without naming them by name, he described his German confreres among the Bishops as "the blind who lead the blind." But it was not "the task of the bishops to create confusion." Cardinal Müller also said:
"For us marriage is the expression of participation in the unity between Christ the Bridegroom and His Bride to the Church. This is not a vague analogy, as some have said during the Synod. No! This is the substance of the sacrament, and no power in heaven and on earth, neither an angel, nor a pope, nor a council, nor a law of bishops, has the authority to change it."
Cardinal Müller instisted that "all those who talk too much," to "study" the Council, especially the Council of Trent, and the Magisterium of the Church.
Cardinal Marx: "I believe that unanimity prevailed"
To Cardinal Marx, however, such "recommendations" appear to be dismissed. He showed the stinkfinger at the press conference – probably quite unconsciously but conspicuously as an AFP photographer captured it in the above picture. Was he referring to Cardinal Müller or marriage and morals?
In any event, he stressed the fact that the new directives on the remarried divorced were "unanimously approved" by the German bishops. However, there are doubts about this.
The Press Agency Askanews reported on the press conference with Cardinal Marx:
To the journalist, who pointed out that a thousand priests say that the papal text is not clear, the Cardinal replied, "You can read Amoris laetitia, and I think that in our episcopal conference, unanimity prevailed, some bishops have asked questions, but I believe the position is clear, and the line of the pope is very clear. I was a member of two synods, and the discussions between the synods, and the discussions in the Synod, and then I read Amoris laetitia and said: This is absolutely clear. I can not understand why the answer is not clear."
The Press Agency SIR of the Italian Bishops' Conference gave the same statement by Cardinal Marx:
"I think there was unanimity in our bishop's conference. Some bishops have asked questions, but I believe that the pope's position and line are very clear. I do not understand why, according to some, the answer is not clear. "
According to different statements, neither unanimity nor consensus prevailed in the German Bishops' Conference. The unusual formulation of Cardinal Marx, that he "believes" that "unanimity" prevails, indicates this. At least six bishops are said to have rejected the new directives, especially the interpretation of the VIII chapter of Amoris laetitia.
This raises the question whether Cardinal Marx's statement that the Bishops' Conference had adopted the directives unanimously or even unanimously, agreed with the facts. Or is it attempted, for the first time, that the bishops' conference, which has no jurisdiction, should be replaced by the bishops who are individually responsible? These are questions that ask for clarification.
