Candidates, super PACs could squeeze out commercial advertisers on TV
Auto, fashion retailers may feel a strain this fall
Political campaigns flush with money are poised to launch a late advertising blitz that could crowd out a significant number of other advertisers, especially in battleground regions.
The expected flood of candidates' ads, including in Massachusetts and New Hampshire markets, could preempt local broadcast time for commercial advertisers.
Auto companies introducing their 2013 models and retailers promoting fall fashion lines may be among those eclipsed.
Under Federal Communications Commission rules, candidates for president and Congress receive discounted rates and preference for booking time on broadcast stations over commercial advertisers. With record amounts of money in play this year, and limited time available for stations to sell, these preemption regulations will probably kick in during the media endgame even more than usual, campaign operatives and media buyers said.
Blitz Media, a buying agency in Waltham, is among those bracing for the next few weeks. It began warning its clients in the spring that any airtime bought in the weeks leading up to Election Day Nov. 6 would be difficult to guarantee.
"You have to be flexible,'' said Greg Angland, a senior vice president at Blitz. "It's a frustrating time of year.'' At least one advertiser has decided to use radio now and shift to TV ads after the election, he said.
Boston-area auto dealer Ernie Boch Jr. said businesses like his that advertise constantly have learned to deal with the chaos that a contentious election cycle can make of their advertising schedules.
"Every time there's a big election, it happens,'' he said, and this year he anticipates less available airtime than usual. Boch said he has learned to push TV stations to compensate him when his ads are bumped, by giving him extra airtime during another week or with spots in prime-time programming.
"It's a good working relationship,'' Boch said. "I understand that if I'm paying $200 for an ad and somebody wants to pay $1,000, they're going to bump me.''
Karen Agresti, a senior vice president at Boston ad agency Hill Holliday, whose clients include Dunkin' Donuts and Liberty Mutual insurance, said figuring out how to replace an ad that has been bumped can be challenging.
"The trick about political ads is that the candidates come in last-minute. Every day, they're spending money,'' she said.
Many advertisers can't afford to lose exposure at this time of year because October is when auto dealers need to start promoting new model years, furniture retailers usually see a jump in business, and retailers debut fall fashion lines or prime viewers for the upcoming holiday season. "TV is still one of the most powerful advertising mechanisms out there,'' Agresti said.
Part of Massachusetts' ad flurry will come from its marquee Senate race between Elizabeth Warren and Scott Brown, both prodigious fund-raisers already saturating the airwaves. One competitive congressional race between US Representative John Tierney and Republican Richard R. Tisei is also making a claim for airtime.
The ads will also come from the presidential candidates, aimed at hotly contested New Hampshire, but with the message seeping over the border into Massachusetts to capture New Hampshire viewers who watch Boston TV. Ads are likely to increase on Boston stations as available time at WMUR-TV in Manchester, N.H., the only major network affiliate in the Granite State, dwindles and campaigns and outside groups still have money to burn.
Outside groups are also fueling the spending spree — although FCC rules allow only candidates, not so-called super PACs, a price break and special access to ad slots. Still, super PACs' wealth will allow them to claim a significant portion of whatever ad time candidates don't claim.
Extra funds for ads this year can be traced largely to the creation of super PACs, fund-raising vehicles that sprang up in 2010 and can raise unlimited sums from corporations, labor unions, and individuals. The nine most active super PACs — representing both parties — had at least $70 million still in the bank more than a month ago. They continue to raise funds for advertising, and other ways to promote their favored candidates. Conservative and Republican super PACs have held a clear money advantage throughout the campaign.
With six weeks to go, advertising spending by outside groups in this federal campaign cycle is $403 million,
shattering the $302 million mark set in the 2008 election, according to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics, which monitors campaign contributions and spending. It is also well beyond the $295 million spent in the 2010 midterm elections.
Meanwhile, the candidates themselves also have money to spend on ads — that's how the bulk of campaign funding is generally used. Obama's campaign outspent the Romney campaign by about 3 to 1 in August. Last week, the Democratic incumbent's team spent about $15.5 million on television advertising compared with about $8.6 million by Romney's team.
Republicans have more cash on hand than Democrats for the presidential stretch run. Romney and allied Republican Party committees entered September with about $168.5 million and Obama and his committees had about $125.1 million, not counting debts, according to a Republican National Committee memo to supporters on Friday.
Under federal rules, commercial broadcasters must provide not only "reasonable access'' to air time for all candidates for federal office, but "equal opportunity'' to buy spots if an opponent has bought time at the station. Cable channels are not required to sell political ads unless they have sold time to one candidate. In that case, they must provide equal time to the opponent. Another reason viewers will be blitzed: any surplus money raised by PACs and federal candidates cannot be used after Election Day — unless its for a future campaign.
"There's no reward for having the most money on hand after the election,'' said WMUR general manager Jeff Bartlett.

Buddy Collette, a Grammy-nominated jazz saxophonist, flautist, bandleader and educator who played important roles in Los Angeles jazz as a musician and an advocate for the rights of African American musicians, has died. He was 89.
Collette died Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles after suffering shortness of breath a day earlier, according to his daughter Cheryl Collette-White.
Collette's virtuosic skills on saxophones, flute and clarinet allowed him to move easily from studio work in films, television and recording to small jazz groups and big bands. He was, in addition, one of the activists instrumental in the 1953 merging of the then all-African American musicians union Local 767 and the all-white Local 47.
"I knew that was something that had to be done," Collette told writer Bill Kohlhaase for a Times story in 2000. "I had been in the service, where our band was integrated. My high school had been fully integrated. I really didn't know anything about racism, but I knew it wasn't right. Musicians should be judged on how they play, not the color of their skin."
Collette had already crossed the color bar before that in 1949 and 1950 by performing as the only African American musician in the orchestra for Groucho Marx's "You Bet Your Life" radio and television shows.
"We integrated the Academy Awards too," Collette said. "It was 1963, when Sidney Poitier won. We were going to picket that thing. But I was in the band, with saxophonist Bill Green and harpist Toni Robinson-Bogart."
Along the way, Collette, not satisfied with having established his own career in the studios, continually laid the foundation for other African American players.
"One of the things we jazz musicians are proud of is the fact that music to us has no color, no religious, no sexual, no other kinds of barriers," says composer/bandleader John Clayton, "but it wasn't that way in the studios of Los Angeles. And the thing about Buddy was that when he got his foot in the door, he kept opening it up for other musicians. That's the kind of person he was."
Collette came to national jazz prominence in 1955 as a founding member of drummer Chico Hamilton's influential quintet. The combination of Collette's woodwinds and, especially, his flute playing with the cello of Fred Katz and guitar of Jim Hall created a timbre that remains one of the jazz world's most uniquely appealing sounds.
Although West Coast musicians with Collette's skills commonly moved to New York in search of wider visibility, Collette chose to remain in Los Angeles, where he worked for more than four decades as a first-call saxophone and woodwind specialist. Performing and recording with Frank Sinatra, Nat "King" Cole, Nelson Riddle, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Charlie Parker, Sarah Vaughan and dozens of others, his resume encompasses a virtual history of jazz and traditional pop music in the second half of the 20th century.
"If one has to choose a local hero whose story is emblematic of the West Coast musical heritage with all its underrated brilliance, originality and traditions," novelist and journalist Emory Holmes II wrote in The Times in 2000, "one could hardly do better than the amazing true life of Buddy Collette."
As an educator, Collette served on the faculties of Loyola Marymount University, Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State Long Beach and Cal State Dominguez Hills. His students included Eric Dolphy, Frank Morgan, Charles Lloyd and James Newton among others.
Collette's many non-performing activities included urging the development of the UCLA Oral History project, "Central Avenue Sounds" the co-founding of JazzAmerica, a nonprofit organization working to provide education to gifted high school musicians; and the direction and production of a series of 1999 concerts celebrating Duke Ellington's 100th birthday.
"Buddy was totally about sharing and helping other people," said Michael O'Daniel, who worked with Collette on the concert series "Jazz at the Music Center" and in the co-founding of American Jazz Masters Day. "That's the way he was raised and it was his philosophy throughout life. He was always extending a helping hand, regardless of whether it was a well-known musician or someone who was just starting out."
In 1998, a stroke brought Collette's playing career to an end. But he continued to be an inspiration to young musicians and a vital participant in the city's jazz world.
William Marcel Collette was born Aug. 6, 1921, in Los Angeles. His father, Willie Collette, a pianist, was from Knoxville, Tenn., and his mother, Goldie Marie, a singer, was from Kansas City. Collette was raised in Watts, and was a childhood friend and contemporary of former L.A. Mayor Tom Bradley and close musical associate of bassist/composer Charles Mingus, whom Collette persuaded, at the age of 13, to switch from cello to bass.
While still in his teens, Collette was an active participant in the rich musical environment taking place around Central Avenue during the pre- World War II years. After serving in the U.S. Navy during the war, he begin his long career as a mainstay of the Southland music scene.
In 1998, Mayor Richard J. Riordan designated Collette "A Living Los Angeles Cultural Treasure." Collette's autobiography, "Jazz Generations: A Life in American Music and Society," written with Steven Iosardi, was published in 2000.
Collette is survived by daughters Cheryl, Veda and Crystal, son Zan, eight grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
Buddy Collette, a Grammy-nominated jazz saxophonist, flautist, bandleader and educator who played important roles in Los Angeles jazz as a musician and an advocate for the rights of African American musicians, has died. He was 89.

Stephen Harper is getting ready to slash 10 per cent of Veterans' Affairs' budget but he says veterans will be unaffected. That doesn't make sense, unless you know government has the 2010 National Client Survey in its planning pocket. It says that veterans are very pleased with Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). Logically, you could trim the edge off "very pleased" and still have satisfied people.
Provided the survey is accurate.
So, in 2010, were veterans satisfied with Veterans Affairs Canada?
Depends on who you ask.
That July, this average civilian watched amazed as then-Veterans' Ombudsman Colonel Pat Stogran held a press conference. The Colonel took the stage with Dennis Manuge and the now-departed Brian Dyck. During the following month, I read literally thousands of comments from veterans who were upset, disillusioned, and above all angry. I learned about disputes over everything from hearing aids to coverage for depleted uranium or Agent Orange exposure.
I learned of ridiculously long processing times and of the routine need for court battles. I got news of how VAC officials used private medical information to discredit Sean Bruyea and other veterans' advocates, or worse, to gain retribution by cutting their benefits.
Meanwhile, back at Veterans' Affairs, data was being tabulated for the 2010 Veterans' Affairs National Client Survey. Results would be presented to Treasury Board in the fall, as proof of VAC's successes and failures. Survey results would be critical to future planning.
The NCS has some interesting data. Like which method veterans prefer for contacting VAC (telephone). Like how many close friends and relatives a veteran has (8.3). Like how a minority of clients have trouble taking part in activities because of physical and/or emotional problems.
Wait...a minority???
Now, I know members of the Canadian Forces and RCMP are tough, but they are not demigods. If they are receiving disability benefits then, ipso facto, they have disabilities and, hence, trouble taking part in activities.
It seems there is a flaw in the survey.
Actually, it seems there are many flaws in the survey.
In fact, it turns out the survey is worthless.
Here's why: The survey was 30 minutes long. It asks some questions again, just in case you changed your mind. It asked about Remembrance programs, which you don't need to be a VAC client to access.
And, despite government regulations, it doesn't account for people who refused the survey.
Imagine this: You came back from "peacekeeping" in the 90s. In Bosnia, you busted your back and lost part of your hearing. In Croatia, you lost your sanity, your left foot, and the rest of your hearing when you drove over a mine.
Since then, you have been fighting for benefits. VAC paid for your foot but they can't comprehend how not having that foot impacts your back. They don't accept your wife's word that you wake up screaming nightly -- she's your wife and would lie for you. VAC won't pay for your hearing aids. According to them, your ears were bad before the blast, so you can't blame the landmine. A member of the appeal board once suggested you should have turned down your walkman.
That's your life. Your scream all night in your dreams, and all day on the phone about your benefits. Then, one evening, your phone rings. It's Veterans' Affairs. They want to know how satisfied you are with them...
And that's where the National Client Survey fails massively: it doesn't account for clients who refused the survey. All the results in the NCS are based on the 29 per cent of clients who had half an hour to spare, and were not so angry with VAC that they pitched the phone across the room.
The final result? The National Client Survey says the amount of veterans and families who are satisfied with their programs and benefits is... (drum roll) -- 80 per cent!
Really? Eighty per cent of veterans were satisfied in 2010?
Because on November 6 that year, right across Canada and for the first time in our history, there were rallies protesting problems with Veterans Affairs, specifically with services and benefits. The people at those rallies? Angry veterans. A whole lot of angry veterans. I ought to know; I was standing there surrounded by them.
The National Client Survey was accepted by Treasury Board. Perhaps Harper is thinking that his cuts will mean a one per cent drop in satisfaction. Which is not a big deal, if that's the difference between 80 and 79 per cent. But if it brings 50 to 49 per cent, then that is failure. Undoubtedly, the survey is being used to plan these cuts.
This deeply-flawed, non-compliant-with-government-standards, doesn't-make-any-sense- on- its-face, survey.
You can judge the NCS for yourself. A report outlining its failures is available at Our Duty.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this post stated that Sean Bruyea was on stage for the 27 July press conference. This was not the case.

Update #1 - Initial Goal Reached! [ Sep 7th ]
The Need
Our project started with a need. We were educators in lack of a flexible teaching material for robotics. We were not satisfied by what was available at the market. It was clear that we needed to find a solution.
We started prototyping robots by laser cutting acrylic and wiring some breadboard to it. Soon we were giving lessons and designing parts that could be changed from one place to other to match the functions needed from the robot being built.
The Solution: a different kind of Kit
Experience at classroom lead us to keep things simple. The system has been used at primary schools, science experiments and even at industry level. So from these prototypes that we were laser cutting in our garage, we got something that had a big potential.
The concept is that you get a box that has a kit inside. We took care of all the technical details in order for each single part to be compatible. Everything you need to build a robot is inside of the box. But you can also add your own parts...
MECHANICAL PARTS: The result of what we have put together is a set of mechanical parts easy to assemble, difficult to break and simple to customize. The system is based in a mathematical relationship between dimensions of components, making them match each other. Below you can see a picture and a video of some of the parts that make a Multiplo Robot Building Kit.
ROBOT BRAINS: We decided to design and manufacture our own controller. Why? Because we wanted something user friendly, yet powerful and hackable. So here is the DuinoBot: an all-in-one robot controller with motor outputs, easy to use sensor connectors, plastic case and many more features. It's also expandable and 100% compatible with Arduino. Please read in the FAQ section for details.
SOFTWARE: We know that it's not easy to give the first steps into programming. For beginners, we handle in the controllers with a simple set of recorded actions to be commanded by a common TV remote control (please read the FAQ for details).
If you are interested in learning programming, you might want to try our Graphical Software. It allows users with no previous experience in programming to start in no time. That software is also free and Open Source. It has been funded through a KickStarter campaign as well. If you already know programming, you can use the Arduino IDE to program more sophisticated functions.
EVERYTHING WORKING: "Right out of the Box" are the words we like to use about how you should start using your Multiplo Kit. There is no need to program, study a wiring diagram or buy tools. No soldering or protoboard needed. You can build a simple robot in about 45 minutes. Still you will be able to re-program it's controller, add Arduino-compatible shields like WiFi, GPS or your tailor made parts.
TRULY OPEN SOURCE MECHANICS: The whole system is Open Source, but when making mechanical parts, the blueprints are not always enough. We also want to let the world know that we have designed each part in a way that it can be reproduced by simple tools. We want users to start making their own parts and share them in any fabrication workshop (we call this Fab Lab). We welcome people to hack, tweak, modify and improve the system. Read more at the FAQ section.
COMPATIBLE AND EXPANDABLE: Our system allows you to just plug in industry standard sensors. At the same time, our own sensors are also compatible with nearly any 3rd party robot controller. We specially encourage users to get either an original Arduino or any compatible board. There are several interesting options and we already give support to some of them. You can also get original Arduino(R) TinkerKit sensors, or third party compatible sensors. We will be adding support to more devices.
FULLY DOCUMENTED: We had prepared pictorial assembly guides, video tutorials and a full set of examples. We will be posting them during the KickStarter Campaign. You can find some of the assembly guides that are currently being used at schools at our website.
What are the Funds for?
We are now a team that includes a teacher, two engineers and a specialist in robotics. We are very proud of sticking to our principles. We will keep our word of licensing 100% of our work free and Open Source.
Our running costs as a small startup are expensive. We want to lower the price of our kits in order to flood the world with cheap and meaningful robots. But for that, we need to scale production.
Our goal is to make this technology available to more people. Also to get other developers on board, people that also think that the world should be a better place and share things. Even if we cannot make it at this KickStarter Campaign, we are releasing all the source files for free.
Our Dream
We develop this system in order to prototype robots. But we ended inventing a platform to build things. We have been using it at public schools and it had proved to be suitable as teaching material. They are currently using it for STEM Education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) for young students.
Making a robot was a challenge some time ago and only few could have access to that. We want to reach a critical mass that allow us to break boundaries. We have found Arduino philosophy inspiring. We think that it's time that their concept spreads to other areas.
We want our fully Open Source Robot Kit to get into hands of educators, artists and any kind of creative people. It is our dream to get robotics close to people. We think it's time for a change. Robotics for Everybody!

Rams Remain Perfect in Skyline with Home Win over MSMC
Farmingdale State - 2, Mount Saint Mary - 0
Farmingdale, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State women's soccer team improved to a perfect 4-0 in the Skyline Conference with a 2-0 win over Mount Saint Mary College this afternoon. The Rams improved to 9-2 overall, while the Knights dropped to 6-6 on the year and 3-2 in conference play.
The Rams went ahead early as sophomore forward Melissia Elie (Brentwood, N.Y./Brentwood) scored off Christina Merrill's (Levittown, N.Y./Island Trees) pass, only 9:16 in the contest. Sophomore defender Jillian Lasota (Massapequa, N.Y/Massapequa) increased Farmingdale State's lead 1:15 before halftime, as she scored after receiving her own rebound 10 feet in front of the net. The Rams outshot the Knights 9-2 in the first half.
In the second half, Farmingdale State protected their lead allowing the Knights only three shots. Neither team scored after the break.
Junior goalkeeper Amanda Maass (Mastic Beach, N.Y./William Floyd) had two saves in the victory, while senior Megan Cotta (Point Pleasant, N.J/St. Rose) had nine saves playing 69:08 in goal for Mount Saint Mary.
Farmingdale State next will travel to Yeshiva University for a Skyline Conference game on Tuesday, October 5th, at 8:00p.m.

The main thing I want to do is support XUID/read/unread status so the transfer is transparent for the end user. I have been able to achieve transfers from the mbox format to Maildir but loose the XUID/read/unread status so that the Thunderbird client always re-downloads all the mail as if it were new. Ive googled and I have tried the following: dsync : dovecot 1.x server is too old and doesnt support the command? mb2md.pl: transfers the mbox to maildir and creates file dovecot-uidlist but the Thunderbird client redownloads the files virtualmin copy-mailbox: transfers the mailbox to Maildir but doesnt reproduce the dovecot indexes. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I would like to produce a howto of the process when I am done.

The mtable results are qualitatively different between version 2.1h and 2.1j and later for the depths of lines when the value of vturbi is small. These differences are entirely due to the challenge of modeling absorption in a binned spectrum. Since before v2.1h the ionization and thermal balance has changed very little.
Taking O VIII L alpha as an example. A cloud with colum 10, log()=1.8 and a =2 power law ionizing spectrum has a line center optical depth of 1.6e3 for this line, and a temperature 10 K. So the thermal Doppler velocity is 11 km/s, or 2.4e-3 eV in energy units. The line wavelength is 18.9689 A, or 653.62 eV. The nearest xstar bin boundaries are at 653.1 and 654.0 eV, which are both many Doppler widths away. These versions of xstar both use a logarithmic energy grid evenly spaced between 0.1 and 20000 eV, with E/DeltaE=722, for a total of 9999 energy bins (there are some extras tacked on at high energy). The version in development has 10 times as many, but still will not resolve the lines such as O VIII L alpha.
How to put an unresolved line on a fixed grid? There are 3 obvious ways, 2 of them dumb: Version 2.1h and before simply calculated exp(-tau_line) at the nearest energy grid point, so O VIII L alpha was black in one bin. This version also did not take into account the damping wings accurately. Version 2.1j and later use an accurate Voigt profile, with damping wings, and evaluate the profile function at the grind point. So the bin at 654 eV in my example, being 12 Doppler widths away, has an optical depth of about 0.4. And there was an error in the implementation of this in versions 2.1j and 2.1k when turbulent broadening is included, but that is now fixed.
The third way would be give the bin a depth which would give the correct equivalent width for this unresolved line, since neither of the previous two will do that. This is work, since it requires implementing a curve of growth calculator which can handle damping, and arbitrary values for hte line wavelength relative to the bin boundaries, and can smoothly go over to something like what is in 2.1k when the line is resolved. It is planned to put this in the next version of xstar.

The South Carolina Department of Transportation will have a striping contractor onsite at the S.C. 46/Bluffton Parkway roundabout on Tuesday.
The work will begin at 7 p.m., lasting until 7 a.m. More pavement striping is planned around and within the circle to help better delineate designed traffic movements. The circle will remain open during the striping operation but will be reduced to only one lane. The Bluffton Police Department urges caution when navigating through the area.

Helpful Tips for First Time Conference Attendees
Attending Programs
As soon as you get to Annual Conference, be sure to pick-up the Conference Program Book. This handy guide will tell you when and were programs and events are taking place, listed by both track (subject area) and day/time. Make sure when you're browsing through the track descriptions to make note of which ones you would like to attend. Most ALSC programs are listed under the "Children and Young Adult" track along with AASL and YALSA programs. The Program Book also includes announcements of author/illustrator appearances and signings. Not all programs are tracked so be sure to keep your eyes out for other programs that may be of interest to children's and youth services librarians as well.
Cognotes: Your Go-To Guide for Program Changes
Besides featuring articles on conference activities and upcoming events, the ALA's daily conference newspaper, Cognotes, is your go-to guide for changes and cancellations. Be sure to grab one of these every morning near the Convention Center entrance or from a greeter.
Newbery/Caldecott Banquet
Most ALSC members will tell you that one of the highlights of Annual Conference is the Newbery/Caldecott Banquet, at which this year's award winning authors and illustrators are recognized. Speeches given at the banquet are later published in Children and Libraries, and a limited number of Banquet tickets are available for purchase at the ALA Registration Desk. The banquet is held the Sunday night of Annual Conference.
Grab Goodies on the Exhibits Floor
The Exhibits Hall is a great place to pick up posters, pens, pencils, catalogs, and other materials from publishers and library vendors. Sometimes you will be asked to sit through brief demonstrations in order to collect these items, but most are free to attendees. Many publisher sell copies of their front list titles but if you wait until Monday, the last day of exhibits, you can often purchase these at a discount! There is a post office located on the exhibits floor allowing you to bypass the hassle of lugging your goodies home.
Dess on the exhibits floor is business casual, but you may want to dress in layers to accomidate for extra cool air conditioners. In addition to a sweater, throw a quick snack in your bag when you head to the exhibits floor. Food options there are limited and often crowded at peak times.
ALA Office Area
Make a pit stop at the ALSC Office in the ALA Office Area of the Convention Center to pick up a Committee Volunteer Form, a member ribbon, and a list of ALSC-sponsored programs. The ALSC staff can sometimes be found here and will be happy to answer any questions you may have about ALSC or the conference.
ALSC Board Meetings
To get a sense of the issues and concerns of the division, plan to attend an ALSC Board meeting or any of the open committee meetings. Many of the award committees have closed meetings, but most of the others are open to attendees.
ALSC 101: Making Connections
Are you a new member of ALSC? Or, is this your first national conference as a children's librarian? Then ALSC 101 is the place for you! We'll provide information that will help you get the most from your time at Annual Conference and your membership in ALSC. Meet other new members and ALSC officers while you learn how to become involved in the world's largest associaiton dedicated to the support and enhancement of children's library services—ALSC!

I have absolutely no concept of the amount of talent and/or hard work you've put in to be able to do this. I can't even draw convincing stick figures and if I could even understand half the features of Photoshop you used here, I'd be doubling my skill level. Simply amazing work.
I too would like to know how long this process took you, if you don't mind.

It's been an incredibly busy – and fulfilling – two and half days working with the therapists in the pediatric rehabilitation center of Martin Memorial Hospital in Stuart, FL. These are some of the most passionate, caring, and enthusiastic therapists I have ever met. The genuine compassion for their clients and their dedication and determination to make a difference in their lives is impressive and compelling.
The first day of our visit was a workshop for pediatric therapists and teachers. Alan and Chase were there to help them with the execution of the tricks as I taught them. Several therapists had questions before the workshop started – questions that we get quite often from those who are excited (and a little anxious) to understand just how magic tricks can be incorporated into treatment…and make a difference for their clients. The only answer I could offer was to ask them if we could talk again after the workshop, that I felt strongly they would "get it" once they started the process. And when they learned their first magic trick, THEY DID GET IT! The room erupted with laughter and excitement! I could hear therapists talking – almost instantly – about the therapeutic benefits of a simple rubber band. The day only got better from there…and, before I knew it, four hours had passed like minutes.
The second and third days were the best. Those two days at Martin Memorial Pediatric Rehabilitation Center, we were there to work with some awesome kids. When we walked through the doors on Thursday morning, there was an energy in the air that I knew was positive. This was going to be a fantastic day…and the next one too!
There are so many things I could write about this group of people but there are no words that can adequately describe these last two days. I can tell you this, working with these kids will change you forever. You see into their eyes, you feel their hearts, there is a connection that can't be explained. There were small miracles, big surprises, and memorable moments. Pictures say a thousand words…

CTC Hosts Wellness Week
Top HeadlinesDate: November 1, 2010
Contact: email@example.com
Website: http://www.andrews.edu/services/ctcenter/
Phone: 269-471-3470
The Counseling & Testing Center (CTC) hosted its first annual Wellness Week October 18–23. Held in the Campus Center, the event was dedicated to the eight different aspects of wellness and instructed students how to, "Seek Empowerment. Choose Wellness. Change Your Life."
Each day throughout Wellness Week, the Center focused on a different area of wellness. The coordinators aimed "to promote wellness to students and get them aware of the different aspects, more than just the physical and social," said Jeffrey Monestime, a graduate intern at the CTC. "Sometimes students don't pay attention to all the elements... So, this is our purpose."
The week began with Monday's focus on Occupational & Financial Wellness followed by Tuesday's Emotional & Intellectual Wellness theme. Booths and activities were organized during these two days teaching students about dining etiquette, career websites and loan information. There were even opportunities for mock interviews and student resumes to be critiqued. Free depression screenings were also offered.
"Doing these depression screenings is very important to me because it gets people to come into the Counseling & Testing Center," said Donalea McIntyre, graduate intern at the CTC. "We all need someone to talk to who isn't necessarily a family member or friend sometimes, and most people aren't aware of this until they take this test."
McIntyre was not the only student who helped run the event. Students from the Department of Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology also participated by offering free hearing tests on Wednesday. Harvey Burnett's alcohol simulation activity was also popular. Harvey, assistant professor of psychology, tested students' skills with "alcohol impairment goggles" designed to educate students about the negative effects of drinking. The largest group of students showed up for this day's Environmental and Social Wellness theme.

Thursday focused on Spiritual Wellness and featured representatives from Harbor of Hope, ABC Bookstore and various community churches. Students also had the opportunity to write down prayer requests and pray in large or small groups. On Friday, participants could receive free massages sponsored by Lamson Health Club, test their grip strength with students from the Department of Physical Therapy and/or check their body mass index (BMI), blood pressure and blood sugar levels at the Department of Nursing booth. The day's theme was Physical Wellness and also included learning dorm room exercises with students from the Department of Nutrition & Wellness. The week concluded with Wellness presentations at New Life Fellowship on Saturday morning.
Though the CTC has held Wellness Fairs in the past, this was the first time it hosted the event for an entire week. The idea to extend the event has "helped to bring in three to four times the number of students than we've seen in the past," said Harold Smith, CTC associate director for clinical services. Plans are already underway for a second Wellness Week to take place in the spring. The activities are just several ways the CTC is reaching out.
"We're the ones who take care of students and the community," says Smith. "When all is said and done, what do you get out of a Wellness Week? Basically, it's an attempt to keep the community well and functioning. Another main reason why we have this event is to connect the Counseling and Testing Center to a pleasant experience. That way, when the hard things do hit, we want to become the student's provider of choice."
The CTC encourages students and their spouses to attend short-term counseling services by simply coming in and talking things out, says Smith. These services are free of charge and are conducted by licensed psychologists, counselors and graduate interns. The Center was recently fully reaccredited by the International Association of Counseling Services and is teaming up with Duane McBride, director of the Institute for Prevention of Addictions, to sponsor a five-year risk study in the spring.
For more information about the Counseling & Testing Center, visit www.andrews.edu/services/ctcenter or call 269-471-3470. The Center is located in Bell Hall, Suite 123, adjacent to the Andrews University Bookstore.

DENVER vs. CLIPPERS
Tipoff: 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Staples Center
TV/Radio: Prime Ticket, NBATV/KFWB 980, KWKW 1330
Update: The Clippers have won three games in a row, are now 10-2 at home and are in the fourth spot in the Western Conference standings. … Center DeAndre Jordan is coming off one of the more productive games of his career. In a 108-95 win over New Orleans on Wednesday, Jordan had 14 points, 20 rebounds and five blocks. Not only is he showing the maturity in his game on the floor, he has become one of the team's vocal leaders: "I feel like I'm being a lot more vocal, whether it's being serious or I'm joking around," Jordan said. "I feel like I'm a vocal leader on our team and a lot of the guys look up to Chris (Paul) and Blake (Griffin) and myself to see if we're down, to see what our emotions are and if we're down, then they're going to be down. Just try to stay as positive as possible and hone us all in together." … The Clippers had seven players score in double figures against the Pelicans and will likely see the return of reserve forward Matt Barnes, who has been cleared to play after his retinal surgery. … Denver played at Phoenix on Friday night. The Clippers will come right back to face Minnesota on Sunday.
