Science, UFO Invisibility, and Transgenic Beings
Carol Rainey,
The New York Times bestselling author of Witnessed, Intruders, and Missing Time -- three groundbreaking books on the UFO phenomenon -- returns with astonishing evidence that other-worldly beings are a very real -- and growing -- part of our lives.
In Sight Unseen, Budd Hopkins and coauthor Carol Rainey show how fascinating discoveries in modern science support the plausibility of the UFO phenomenon.
Featuring sixteen never-before-published cases, Sight Unseen probes two newly uncovered patterns in alien abduction: cases of UFO "invisibility" and reports of genetically altered alien beings who interact with humans during their routine lives.
The "invisibility" accounts detailed by Hopkins include numerous daylight abductions in densely populated urban areas -- all apparently unseen and accomplished through a technology of invisibility.
Two air force non-coms are snatched from the tarmac of a busy military airfield.
An Australian family is levitated up into a hovering craft while the father remains paralyzed on the ground with a camera to his eye. The resulting evidence on film is discussed in terms of our own scientific advances.
In the second series of cases, abductees report encounters with beings who appear human but apparently possess paranormal powers and stunted emotional ranges.
Three young women, unknown to each other, are mysteriously summoned to "job interviews." In ordinary office settings, they encounter human-looking beings who lead them into baffling UFO abduction experiences.
A Wisconsin farmer meets "Damoe," a man with odd behavior who closely resembles his son. Damoe eventually reveals himself as an accomplice of UFO occupants in a startling abduction of the farmer and his wife.
Five-year-old Jen is abducted at night to a nearby playground. There she must teach the techniques and skills of "play" to twelve seemingly identical, quasi-human children.
Along with these bizarre, first-person stories told by credible people, Hopkins and Rainey explore cutting-edge advances in our own technologies and scientific theories that show how these new UFO patterns could have a concrete basis in contemporary science.
Included are an examination of cloaking devices for aircraft, mind-control technologies, and teleportation achieved in the lab. Perhaps the most compelling argument to support these cases lies in the startling and controversial new science of transgenics that actually allows for the creation of alien/human beings.

POPULAR IDEA AWAKENING TO HARD REALITY
ANTHONY LEWISThe New York TimesSUN-SENTINEL
In the minds of many Americans there has been a strange disconnect between the radical Republican program in Congress and its consequences. People like the idea of smiting the government without understanding what the slashing and burning would do to them.
I noticed it several weeks ago in the response to a column that looked at the likely consequences. I foresaw a country with wetlands disappearing, air and water increasingly polluted, food and drugs unsafe. To my surprise, readers asked where I got such ideas. I got them from the precise terms of legislation pending in the House or already passed.
Now there are signs that the public is waking to the reality. It has begun to understand what kind of future the radicals would leave for our children.
Two weeks ago Republicans dropped a proposal to prevent the Agriculture Department from adopting modern scientific methods of meat inspection. Sponsors of the proposal said the department had agreed to hear meat industry views. The real reason for their retreat was that constituents did not like the idea of dying from infected meat.
Then, last week, the House voted tentatively to remove from the appropriation bill for the Environmental Protection Agency 16 of 17 killer amendments attached to it by radical Republicans. The vote, 212 to 206, was possible because 51 Republicans moved by environmental concerns left the party line and voted with the Democrats.
The 17 riders would gut much of the national effort to protect the environment. Among other things they would: - Prohibit the EPA from enforcing any rules about wetlands.
- Ban the system used by the EPA to limit the amounts of untreated sewage and storm-water overflows that can be released into bodies of water. (These overflows are the major cause of dangerous conditions that force the closing of beaches.) - Bar the EPA from implementing standards for water quality in the Great Lakes - standards agreed after six years of negotiation with the Great Lakes states - or even giving the states technical assistance for their anti-pollution programs.
- Forbid new rules to control toxic air pollution by oil refiners.
- Provide that when a company using the EPA's self-audit program admits violating pollution standards, the EPA may do nothing about it. (This could be called the Ollie North rider: Testify about your crimes, and you have immunity from prosecution.) In the House debate on these and the other riders, more than a dozen Republicans warned that undermining environmental protection would anger voters. They mentioned regional concerns. Rep. Ralph Regula of Ohio, for example, said, "We've had a long struggle getting the quality of the Great Lakes high enough to fish and swim."
Even if the tentative vote holds firm and the appropriation bill passes the House without the killer amendments, the Environmental Protection Agency would be severely injured. The bill would cut its spending by one-third, the biggest slash of any major agency in the government.
Why are the radicals gunning for the EPA? They say it is for the good of the public. The Republican whip, Rep. Tom DeLay of Texas, last week compared the EPA to the Gestapo.
The real reason is not a secret. Industrial and other interests that give huge amounts of political money want to operate without worrying about the poisons they dump in the air or water or the destruction they do to our surroundings. Their lawyers and lobbyists actually wrote most of the 17 killer amendments.
Nor is the EPA the only target. Federal laws on mining, grazing, logging, pesticides, endangered species and other subjects are being rewritten for the benefit of a few. The biggest gainers from a bill to relax rules for grazing on public land would be the computer billionaires William Hewlett and David Packard, who run cattle on nearly 100,000 acres of federal land.
Americans may be beginning to learn the lesson of a radicalism that would gut the government in the name of a false "populism."It is that individuals must act together, through government, if they want to preserve their health and safety. They must take what Sigmund Freud called the decisive step of civilization: asserting the power of the community.

Our team already has more than 50 years of experience in designing, producing and selling hardware devices. We already outsourced the manufacturers, developed the software, and teamed up with the best technology providers. Despite our experience, risks and difficulties can still occur.
We're making something physical. Engineering or manufacturing problems can occur. They may be way harder to fix than bugs in a code what may require more time. So we've worked (and continue to work) very hard to make sure we don't mess things up. We are a team of designers and engineers who have individually worked on electronic products used by thousands of people worldwide so we understand what goes into making hardware and we know how to do it. We understand the unique challenges of hardware and are familiar with how to avoid and mitigate any issues that arise. Additionally, we are working with a tier-one manufacturing partner that builds for some of the best brands in the business.
Component lead times could cause potential delay in delivering BONJOUR to our backers on time. We have reasonably estimated a May delivery for our first backers and checked component availability before the start of our campaign.
Nevertheless, as a brand new product, it's impossible for us to secure component stocks before the end of the campaign and before the final specifications are frozen. Thus once we decide to go for production, some electronic components may be out of stock and have up to 6 months lead time. We shall secure key components supply as soon as possible but as there is always a risk involved with large volume component supply, we thought we should mention it!
Our software has been robustly tested on several prototypes. We've overcomed the most critical technical challenges and are about to start transforming our code into production-grade software.
Once done and tested, we plan to make a pilot run of several hundred units for beta testing and bug fix.
This beta testing period is already taken into account in our schedule. Yet, as we will undoubtedly encounter real-life issues that relate to use and environment of BONJOUR, this testing and debugging period could require more time than initially planned and may cause delay in the delivering BONJOUR to our backers.

Jeff Faulkner brings the extraordinary
Five questions on innovation for Xbox's Creative Director.
View All Next Previous
"In order to make extraordinary stuff, you gotta be extraordinary stuff," says Jeff Faulkner. He should know: as the Creative Director for Analog at Microsoft and former Creative Director at Xbox, he's helped usher major innovations into the public sphere. One indelible example is Kinect, a technology described by the New York Times as "magical" and "astonishing." We asked Jeff five questions—including what advice he'd like to give radical innovators.
Astonishing interface.
Kinect lets people interact with their game consoles and computers by moving their bodies, talking, and gesturing—without hanging onto a game controller of any kind. This advance in natural user interface even broke the Guinness World Record for being the fastest-selling consumer electronics device ever. Jeff's work has encompassed many other initiatives as well; he's helped guide branding, UX (user experience), and R&D (research and design) for some of Microsoft's most ambitious products, including Xbox One and Xbox 360. Formerly a professor at PNCA, the Pacific Northwest College of Art, he returns to Portland this fall as a panelist on the "What Sparks Innovation?" discussion to be presented by Liquid Agency on October 7th.
Client: Microsoft
Keywords: Innovation, Interview
Brand Exchange
A cause greater than yourself: Mohan Nair on innovation
What brings innovation to life?
An interview with Jeff Faulkner.
T: What practices do you undertake to keep yourself open-minded, sharp, and inventive?
J: Stillness is it for me. Meditation just works. It's not magic. It just simply works. I've been doing it over the past few years and I am really surprised and delighted to see just how far my imagination and my conciseness can go. I don't have many problems keeping inventive or open-minded. My problems are along the lines of getting stuff done on time!
T: In your TAIGA video interview (which we've embedded below), you mentioned Carl Sagan as an inspiration. You've also mentioned Ray Kurzweil and Ray Eames. Who are some of your other innovation heroes?
J: I really liked the iWatch announce this week and so I've been thinking about our friends in Cupertino lately. Like many people, I really love Jony Ives. The humanity in his approach and his track record for shipping beautiful useful stuff is legend. Another Apple giant that continually floors me is Hiroki Asai and his team of storytellers and brand communication people. I presented to him once a long time ago and it didn't go so well. I still carry that with me. Sometimes I think, "I wish I could get back in that room again and try it again!"
T: What's the biggest buzzkill for innovators?
J: Certitude, I suppose. Sometimes certitude is good but most of the times it's just boring. Humility, enthusiasm, and focus are all that really count—so whatever the opposite of that is my candidate for buzzkill!
T: Looking back on your life, what was a pivotal moment for you as a creative thinker?
J: I was always a poor math student and kept my distance for most my life, but over the last decade I have really tried to dig in and see what all the fuss is about. The brief moments of understanding I've gained have been really profound for me and have shaped my worldview in many ways, including being a creative thinker. It's very strange. At times math feels like music. I have no desire to apply it anywhere and I don't think my facilities are fluid enough anyway. I am happy just being an adventurer.
T: In your career, you've worked in and fostered an environment of radical innovation and creative thought. What advice would you give to others?
J: To radical innovators, I ask that you don't give up on us. The world needs you and your gifts. We seem violent, selfish, and petty but you know that's only part of the story. The world needs you to bend all this chaos and discord into something better. It can happen, and on the whole, we are worth it.

The Role Of Government In Combating Cybercrime
By Richard Grant • Updated: 09/28/22 • 6 min read
As technology advances, the rise of cybercrime has also increased. Hackers target financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and government agencies. The costs of cybercrime are estimated to be in the billions of dollars each year, and this number is only expected to grow.
The role of government in combating cybercrime has never been more important, as attackers become more sophisticated and the stakes continue to rise. Fighting cybercrime requires all stakeholders, from governments to the private sector, to work together. However, it's the government that should be at the forefront of this battle by playing the following roles:
1. Allocating Funds For Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is critical in protecting systems and data but is expensive. The cybersecurity costs are expected to exceed USD$10.5 trillion by 2025, so the US government needs to allocate adequate funds to combat this growing threat. The funds will strengthen cyber defenses, investigate attacks, and prosecute offenders.
Failure to allocate enough funds for cyber and intelligence capabilities will be an advantage to hackers as they will continue to attack government systems with little consequence. Fortunately, several countries have realized the importance of investing in cybersecurity and have started allocating bigger budgets to this purpose.
For example, the federal government in Australia has earmarked AUD$9.9 billion for cybersecurity and intelligence services. This will strengthen the cybersecurity space in their country. Click to find out more about how they will use the budget to fight cybercrime.
2. Create Cybersecurity Regulation And Policies
Governments also need to create regulations and policies to help combat cybercrime. The policies should address different aspects of cybersecurity, such as incident response, data security, and network security. The regulations will help ensure that all organizations, including government agencies, take the necessary steps to protect their systems and data.
It's not enough to create these regulations and policies; they must also enforce them. Otherwise, organizations will not take them seriously and continue to operate without adequate security measures. The government should lead by example and ensure that its agencies comply with the regulations.
For example, the US government has implemented several regulations in the health industry, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The HIPAA Security Rule requires healthcare organizations to implement security measures to protect patient data. It has also created the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014, strengthening critical infrastructure cybersecurity.
The Australian government has passed the Security of Critical Infrastructure Act 2018. The act strengthens the country's cybersecurity laws and creates new offenses, such as those related to cyber espionage and cyber warfare. The act also gives law enforcement agencies more powers to investigate and prosecute cybercriminals.
3. Raise Public Awareness
Governments must also raise public awareness about cybersecurity threats and how to protect themselves. The general population is often the weakest link in an organization's cybersecurity defenses. Hackers will target them with phishing emails, social engineering attacks, and other types of malware.
The government can help individuals and organizations defend themselves against these attacks by raising public awareness. It can provide educational resources like articles, tips, and webinars. It can also run awareness campaigns, such as Cybersecurity Awareness Month. During this month, the general public will be made more aware of the importance of cybersecurity and how to protect themselves.
Governments can also work with businesses to provide training on cybersecurity best practices. The goal is to ensure that employees are familiar with the nature of various threats and how to handle such incidents within their organizations.
4. Provide Cybersecurity Agency And Services
The government can also help organizations by providing cybersecurity resources and services. The US government provides the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) with resources and services to help protect critical infrastructure. The agency offers incident response services, vulnerability management, and risk assessment.
The Australian government has established the Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre (CSCRC). The CSCRC is a research organization that works with businesses and academia to improve cybersecurity in the country. The CSCRC also provides training and resources on cybersecurity best practices. These agencies are in charge of helping organizations protect themselves from cyberattacks. The agencies are also responsible for defining the scope of the country's cybersecurity space.
5. Have A National Recovery Plan
No matter how robust your cybersecurity system is, there's always a chance that there will be a successful attack—as such, having a recovery plan in place is essential. The government can help organizations develop and implement a recovery plan. The goal is to ensure that the organization can quickly and efficiently recover from an attack. It can also provide resources to help organizations during and after an attack.
Such resources include cybersecurity awareness and training programs. The program provides resources and guidance on responding to and recovering from a cybersecurity incident. The government can also provide funding to help organizations rebuild after a successful attack. This will cushion small businesses and help them quickly get back on their feet.
6. Strengthen Relationship Between Stakeholders
Fighting cybercrime is a national effort that requires the cooperation of various stakeholders. Governments need to work with businesses, academia, and law enforcement to improve cybersecurity in the country. The goal is to have a coordinated effort to combat cybercrime effectively.
For example, the government can develop cybersecurity frameworks and define roles and responsibilities. This will incentivize businesses to share information about cybersecurity threats and incidents. By facilitating a seamless flow of information between companies, customers, and government agencies, it becomes easier to combat cybercrime. It also makes it easy to identify and track down weak points that hackers can exploit.
7. Enact Strict Cybersecurity Laws
The government can help improve cybersecurity by enacting strict laws. These laws will help to deter cyber criminals and make it easier to prosecute them. It can work with businesses to create industry-specific regulations. The goal is to ensure that companies take the necessary steps to protect themselves from cyberattacks. For example, the Cyber Incident Response Teams (CIRT) are responsible for responding to and investigating cybersecurity incidents.
If criminals are caught, there should be strict penalties in place. The punishment should be significant enough to deter others from committing the same crime. It can also create a national cybercrime reporting system. This will make it easy for businesses and individuals to report incidents. The information can be used to track down and prosecute criminals.
The government has a vital role to play in combating cybercrime. It can help businesses and individuals protect themselves from attacks and provide resources to help organizations during and after an attack. Overall, these actions can strengthen the relationships between the people and the government.

The game finally doesn't crash at sturtup and shows all geometry, but there is another problem. The game are freezing the emu shortly after starting first level with tons of VIFerrors (check attached emulog). Sorry for fluded log.
I can't move character if software emulate mul+ee full clamping enabled. I don't have enough patience to find out which option exactly causing this and I don't sure is this a bug, but I think this could be useful for Nneeve.
How long do you have to play till the VIF errors happen? I played for a minute or so (got a few eggs, hit something) and no serious errors (aside from some weird trap errors when jumping sometimes. but those seem to have stopped after I changed a few settings for some reason). I also seem to be able to move my character regardless of any of the settings you mentioned.
The only thing I did find is that without SSE4 and with extra/extra+sign clamping, glitches exist. again.
Yep, movement "bug" was my fault. I shouldn't use savestates.
I played for about five minutes before vif errors. This can happen at any place of first level, you just have to wait.
Tested on r785. Threre are still a lot of "UNKNOWN VifCmd", but at least the game doesn't crash. I also faced some minor texture corruption in cutscene.
To clarify, is the game playable now? Does that "corruption" happens also with gsdx software/zerogs? Basically, is there still any problem that hinders gameplay?
Looks like it's playable, I don't see any problems. Also I can't reproduce those bug with corrupted textures.
Very well then. The unknown vif command is a problem, but the kind that happens in quite some games. For now I will close and move this topic, and keep it in mind should the need arise.

Planetary Lake Lander Project Gets Award: Future Bright.
Exciting news in the world of Astrobiology and Space Exploration!
First, the PLL Project won a NASA Group Achievement Award. I'm told this honor is rarely bestowed on small projects like ours, but its really exciting to know that the PLL Project is being noticed all the way to the top for its work in preparing for future space exploration. I am personally really honored and flattered to be part of this amazing team, (and to even be mentioned in the citation!)
And just as exciting, PLL Team Leader Nathalie Cabrol was selected by NASA for funding to help produce guiding principles to better understand where to search for life, what to search for, and how to recognize finding evidence of past or current life. The goal of the proposed research is to best prepare for NASA's Mars 2020 rover.
I'm getting this news now while in the transit Lounge in Suvarnabhumi Airport, heading to Laos again What exciting news to hear before going off the grid! Congratulations Nathalie and all the PLL Team
A Peek Inside the Explorers Club
Whenever I'm in New York I love to stop by the Explorers Club for the Wednesday Mixers; You never know who you'll run into.
The historic club was recently covered in an article in Business Insider, crowing"Here's A Peek Inside The Super-Elite Club That Counts Elon Musk, James Cameron, And Buzz Aldrin As Members"

New Sue Hendrickson Dinosaur Movie Opens This Week in Select Theaters Worldwide, And its Mind-Blowing.
Last Wednesday I stopped by the Explorers Club in NYC to watch a sneak-preview of a film on a subject I thought I knew everything about, and boy was I wrong.
Years ago, when I first started working with Susan Hendrickson, she told me about the incredible story that happened AFTER she found what was to become the worlds most famous T-Rex. I could barely believe it was true. And through the years that we worked together diving on shipwrecks and sunken cities, she would update the team on the ongoing series of events that seemed like something from a Hollywood Movie.
But the story was real, and so amazing that now the story behind the Discovery has been made into a feature length Documentary film that is wowing film festival audiences from London to Melbourne. With clips and commentary from Dan Rather, Katie Couric, grainy news footage and stunning new cinematography, this new film brings all the pieces together.
After the Premiere I spoke to Peter Larson, Sue's Colleague and founder of the Black Hills Institute, and principal role in the film. Next time I drive across the US, I'll make a point taking a northern route to see the home base of this intrepid team of Paleontologists.
Opening at select theaters on August 15th, 2014, This is an important film about Scientific Exploration and the battle of some passionate paleontologists against a foe more frightening than the T-Rex, because it is alive and roams the earth today. Click Here for a list of theaters Showing Dinosaur 13.
Frontiers in Environmental Science Magazine Article Results from Planetary Lake Lander Project
"Record solar UV irradiance in the tropical Andes" is the title of the article authored by Nathalie Cabrol (NASA Astrobiology Institute SETI Institute) et al. in the Environmental Toxicology section of Frontiers in Environmental Science, citing data collected during expeditions as part of the High Lakes Project.
The extraordinary amount of Solar Radiation that pummels the volcano mountaintop lakes and the critters that inhabit them provide a place here on earth where we can study adaptation strategies of extremophiles, and maybe learn how to look for them on other planets.
Congratulations Nathalie on the excellent publication.
Scientific American: "NASA Wants to Put Greenhouses on the Red Planet!"
When Cody Thompson told me that he wanted to put a greenhouse on Mars, I thought maybe the altitude was getting to him. We were, after all, high in the Andes Maountains.
But the University of Guelph researcher was just as serious as the other scientist that make up the Planetary Lake Lander Project. At least when not playing the ukelali or telling ghost stories. Another member of the scientific expedition included the ever attentive Katie Worth, who published an article on the subject in Scientific American Magazine today.
Thanks Katie for breaking it down for us and good Luck COdy on getting your gear on the next rocket heading that way, maybe in 2015!
More from the Archives: Financial TImes Writer Jonathan Green Joins us for a Sail
Jonathan Green, Author of the Award Winning "Murder in the High Himalayas" joined us on board the Discoverer while writing an article called " A Different Kind of Catch" This was just the first of several projects we have worked on together. I hope we get a chance to do another adventure together soon.
We are several miles from Key West in the Florida straits, diving from the Discoverer Ketty Lund, a wooden-hulled scientific research vessel on a trip around the Keys. Her captain is Eric Smith, a muscular, salt-encrusted sea skipper and diver with a boyish gap between his front teeth who has piloted his boat and marine scientists around the Atlantic for years. On the long trips down from places like Labrador, Canada, to his home in the Keys, he will jump over the side and go spearfishing for grouper, snapper and tuna to feed himself and his crew. As we descend deeper into the cool depths, he is showing me how to hunt under water.

How I Went from Skinny Sailor to Tugboat Captain in 3 Easy Steps
Tug Jim Vs. Cruise Ship; Smoke billowing like Marge SImpson's Hair as crowds gather on the rail to watch.
Several years of my youth were misspent (allegedly) on the working waterfront of Key West Florida, an island surrounded by reefs that had menaced shipping for the last 500 years. Over the years I managed to work my way into the Shipwreck Salvage and Tugboat community, and the following is a story I wrote about my voyage from scruffy young deck hand and diver to Tug Boat Captain during that time.
I recently came across the draft of the story on a back-up and thought Id put them on a post on this blog (a previous version, spell checked and edited, was published in Solaris Hill Magazine). The scene opens at the Schooner Wharf Bar...

Scientific American Magazine Article Covers Planetary Lake Lander Project
Katie Worth and NASA IRG Roboticist Susan Lee tail boat as the Planetary Lake Lander meanders toward the base of Echaurren glacier.
Awesome journalist Katie Worth, ( also known as the girl who loves science so much that she lived on Mars TIme for 7 weeks ) came to visit us at the PLL Base Camp, and was able to distill the important things out of this multi-disciplinary project for an article she just published in Scientific American Magazine.
Unexpected Visitor Drops By "The Human Voyage" for a Chat.
Greetings Eric,
As I sat down with my morning coffee and started to do some research for a new project I am developing, I ended up on an article profiling you, and the work you do and almost fell out of my chair.
I am not sure if you have been emailed or approached before, but
my name is Daniel *******, and I am a producer of unscripted television. I had developed and produced shows with National Geographic, Discovery and the History Channel and would love a chance to speak with you to find out more about the work you do, above and below sea level.
According to your blog, it looks like you are overseas, but when you have a moment please let me know if you are open to having a quick chat. (we can skype, or email, or whatever works best for you)
Thank you in advance for your time, I hope all is well with you.

Could Donald Trump Actually Be A Great President? A Few Thoughts On A Man I've Dumped All Over.
Before I get to Trump let me reflect on the Obama presidency. I've said it more than once. And I actually openly PREDICTED it in June 2012: that OBAMA was the #1 engine of destruction of the Democratic Party because he governed as a fascist emperor rather than as a president representing an intentionally divided democratic republic. When Obama won election in 2008 and the Republicans came to him hats-in-hand willing to compromise, Obama wouldn't have it. Instead he said, "Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won." And that was his tone for the remainder of his presidency.
ObamaCare was crafted behind closed doors as a poison pill for Republicans such that not one single Republican – even the moderates – could not vote for it. And that was Obama's ONLY actual legislative accomplishment. At the time ObamaCare passed, Democrats held the White House, had a MASSIVE majority in the House, and actually held a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. As a direct result of the bitterness and already-perceived-failure of ObamaCare, Republicans regained control of the House in 2012 and then took over the Senate in 2014. And the same Obama who said that elections have consequences dismissed the two massive midterm election victories for Republicans. And Obama governed as a tyrant king through executive orders and never got anything accomplished. And now all those sweeping executive orders are going to be blown away like fartgas in the hurricane and Obama's legacy will come to nothing aside from the fact that he took his party from riches to rags.
What did Democrats do after their 2012 shellacking? Did they listen to reason? Nope; instead Harry Reid and Senate Democrats went nuclear and imposed their "nuclear option" by changing the Senate rules to favor themselves and squelch the voices of the people who elected Republicans to represent them. And Democrats proceeded to use the nuclear option as an everyday tool to impose sweeping changes in the EPA rules that would NEVER have passed muster in any kind of decent Congress. And so in 2014 Republican voters rose up in righteous rage and took the Senate away the same way we took the House away in 2012. After the Democratic Party proved its name was the ultimate oxymoron and these fascists had nothing whatsoever to do with democracy.
In the current election just past, Democrats had everything in their favor particularly in terms of taking over the Senate, with 24 out of 34 Senate Seats that were up for grabs being held by Republicans and with many of those seats in purple or even blue states. Everyone predicted that the Democrats would retake the Senate because Democrats would be able to ride anti-Trump sentiments to victory. And they utterly failed. In the House they were expected to take twenty seats and a BAD night would be only twelve seats; and what happened? They took only six seats, which is HALF of what would have already been a bad night for them! What was supposed to be a huge night for Democrats was a huge night for Republicans – and it's all on Obama and the Hillary Clinton candidacy that ran as Obama's third term.
Democrats lividly told us that it was the Republicans' duty to get completely in line and abandon their platform and their values and do things the way Obama wanted.
Let's watch these people prove that they are NOTHING but the very worst kind of naked hypocrites as they insist that it is only right, only decent, that Donald Trump compromise with them the way that Barack Obama NEVER ONCE compromised with Republicans as he shoved one poison pill after another after another down our throats and inspired the most bitterly partisan and divided climate in American history.
That's history now. Literally.
Today is a new day, a new opportunity for America.
One element that has to go if we are to have any chance of moving successfully forward is racism. And I'm NOT talking about "racism" the way hypocrite Democrats keep falsely framing it.
I am one of tens of millions of Americans who are beyond disgusted and nauseated by the Democrats open embrace of naked racism as the fundamental core of their electoral and governing strategy while demonizing white people for even THINKING about doing what they brazenly do. It was perfectly okay for Democrats to encourage – "incite" is actually a better word – blacks and Hispanics to vote on a nakedly racial basis AS a race; but these same hypocrites went apoplectic at the thought that Donald Trump would actually encourage white people to do what Democrats had encouraged THEIR races to do for YEARS.
Democrats long ago opened the floodgates of racist politicking. And for once that flood swept over them as tens of millions of white people began to realize, "We have children too. We have plans for the future, too. We have dreams and thoughts and feelings, too. And WE'RE going to vote for OUR rights and OUR survival!"
We USED to all be human beings, created in God's image. But abortionist Democrats crushed that in every way it could BE crushed. Now we are the things that were lucky enough to make it out of the womb, lucky that our parents for whatever reason decided NOT to murder us and rip our bodies apart and suck us out of mommy's womb with a medical vacuum cleaner. And those same Democrats turned us into black and Hispanic against white and cynically demagogued and exploited every difference.
That history is all still very much with us.
And the question is, can Trump do better?
I haven't said very much that is positive about Donald Trump. If you were to read every article on my blog, you would notice that the ONLY things I've said about him were NEGATIVE. But I realized that as bad a leader as Donald Trump might be, Hillary Clinton had ALREADY proven that she would be a vastly WORSE leader. And I always viewed this as a binary choice between two unfortunate alternatives.
But now that Donald Trump actually did it, I ask myself in some hope for the future, what if I was wrong?
COULD Donald Trump actually be a good president? If we're lucky, even a great one?
Two things have come to my mind:
The first is that Donald Trump, in spite of the idiotic crap that more than occasionally came out of his mouth, actually has a history of surrounding himself with good, capable, competent people.
Now, having said that, you would never believe it reading the media accounts. They say the OPPOSITE.
But let's face it: WHAT THE HELL DO THESE POMPOUS TURDS KNOW? Just keep in mind that these pseudo-intellectual fools just got proven wrong in absolutely EVERYTHING they confidently told us.
Donald Trump has actually built a huge, successful empire. That is simply a fact. He has been a major force in business for four decades. How many businessmen can you name where everybody knows his or her name the way you can say "Beyoncé," "J Lo," etc. Not many. And if you believe as most on the left believe that he is some kind of dumbass, he clearly must have done it by riding the coattails of all the good people he picked to be his sub-chiefs.
As one example, Donald Trump groomed his children to succeed him not by giving them silver spoons for pacifiers, but by putting them to work beginning at the very lowest levels of his businesses and forcing them to be exposed to every facet of his operations from the very ground up. That's NOT the act of a self-entitled, spoiled-rotten fool.
Donald Trump did not like the direction his campaign was going and made a decision that began with Trump's "infamous" "You're fired!" and ended with Kellyanne Conway who became THE FIRST WOMAN TO SUCCESSFULLY RUN A VICTORIOUS PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. She had NEVER BEEN the manager of a major campaign before. The man who is despised as THE worst misogynist who ever lived chose THE FIRST WOMAN to EVER run a Republican presidential campaign.
Let me go not to a leftist side but to the "Anyone-But-Trump" fiasco that National Review became in describing the choice of Kellyanne Conway. When Trump picked Conway, they came to the conclusion that he wasn't even actually TRYING to get elected.
Trump chose well. Everyone else chose … poorly.
Again, now that all the "experts" and all the damn liberal "intellectuals" who sold you a bunch of lies have been proven WRONG, WRONG, WRONG by this election, please allow your mind to be expanded by listening to somebody for once in your life who was NOT just refuted by reality.
If Donald Trump surrounds himself with quality leaders, he can have a truly great presidency IN SPITE OF HIMSELF. Because, yes, he can come out and publicly say something stupid that really doesn't mean anything aside from a chance for the liberal mainstream media to attack him; but behind the scenes good policies are being intelligently implemented by capable administrators. And that latter thing will ultimately matter far, far more for the nation than the former thing.
The second thing that gives me hope about Trump is the way he won.
You tell me who predicted it. Besides me – and my pointing out that the polls were POOP – and a very few people like me. The "conventional wisdom" was that Trump was raw meat and Hillary Clinton was a hungry pit bull.
I for one never knew what would happen, but what I DID know was that liberal progressives never reflect reality; rather, they seek to IMPOSE it by framing a false narrative and then getting people to buy into their bogus false manufactured narrative. They go from "There is no reality, only perception" to "perception is reality." And through media, through Hollywood, through the music industry, through the liberal universities, through mass culture, THEY are the ones who get to frame our perception. And "political correctness" is their tactical weapon whereby people are not even allowed to THINK in terms that would undermine their false narrative as any thought outside of their box is demonized and slandered.
And I have said time and time again, BULLCRAP to that.
It boiled down to who was going to actually show up and vote, and in what numbers different groups of people who had been pitted against each other mobilized.
And the thing that now impresses me about Donald Trump is that he relied on his gut instincts – whereas Hillary Clinton has no instincts whatsoever and relied on focus group and an army of staffers and researchers and pollsters – to successfully identify his voter base and then personally communicate to those voters.
And that's impressive. Especially when you consider the massive and enormously successful political machine that Hillary Clinton had at her disposal.
Hillary Clinton had an ENORMOUS infrastructure advantage. Her staff MASSIVELY DWARFED Trump's. Hillary outspent Trump $2-$1.
In August, Hillary outspent Trump on ads $52 million to $0 as she tried to Blitzkrieg her way to the presidency by framing Trump as a vile, horrible, hateful caricature.
Donald Trump had NO ground game, no turnout operation. Whereas Hillary was busing people to the polls in droves and using every turnout gimmick known to mankind – even Beyoncé and JZ – to get people to vote for her.
Hillary Clinton had every single advantage there was by any measure of any previous campaign. And Trump still managed to kick her ass in the states that most mattered.
What Donald Trump pulled off is THE biggest political upset in American history. What the Chicago Cubs did in their 1-3 comeback to win the World Series for the first time since 1908 wasn't even CLOSE – at least in terms of sheer national importance OR surprise.
Hillary Clinton decided to hold her victory party at a venue featuring a glass ceiling. Because, after all, she was the first woman to shatter it.
And her instincts were COMPLETELY WRONG. As her own top advisors lamented in their emails that we know about courtesy of WikiLeaks.
"We've taken on a lot of water that won't be easy to pump out of the boat. Most of that has to do with terrible decisions made pre-campaign, but a lot has to do with her instincts," Mr. Podesta wrote.
"You know I'm not a sycophant to you by any means. But the thing that makes me most confident she will prevail is that you are there," Ms. Tanden, now the the co-chair of Clinton-Kaine Transition Project, responded. "Almost no one knows better [than] me that her instincts can be terrible."
Do you seriously wish THAT creature was making the most important decisions in the world, do you???
Democrats ran a campaign based on the fallacy of the false analogy. Donald Trump is Hitler, that sort of crap. No he's NOT, you stupid dumbasses! And the ONLY candidate who actually PROVED she would do horrible things and make horrible decisions in high office is Hillary Rodham Clinton. Democrats ran a campaign of slander suggesting that Donald Trump was all of these horrible leaders of the past and it's an obvious lie; whereas if you want to talk about PRESENT REALITY, consider that whereas Hitler murdered six million innocent human lives in the gas chambers, Hillary murdered SIXTY million innocent human lives in the abortion mills.
Trump's entire political career is FUTURE and HASN'T HAPPENED YET. Hillary's entire political career is DEMONSTRATED PAST REALITY and it is OVER. And we all – Republicans and Democrats alike – ought to be singing, "Ding-dong the witch is dead!" Because she was nothing but an anchor and a political albatross on not only the Democratic Party, but on the United States of America.
There is absolutely no legitimate question right now whether Donald Trump has powerful instincts. And unless you believed all along that he would win, he's got better damn instincts than YOU.
And he certainly has better damn instincts than ANYBODY in the political class; he proved that positively by being right and by winning and they proved it negatively by being wrong and by losing.
This dig isn't misogyny: I GLADLY would have voted for Carly Fiorina over Donald Trump if I had had the chance. But Hillary Clinton ran on "the war on women" and she was probably the world's worst mouthpiece for that slogan. Her ENTIRE CAREER was derivative on men; first on Bill Clinton who propelled her into politics and then on Barack Obama whose machine she inherited and whose presidency she ran on. On paper she was this and she was that; in reality she never accomplished one single damn thing.
I'll take Donald Trump instead. And I'm not even TALKING about her corrupt and frankly criminal behavior; I'm merely identifying her "terrible instincts" and her "terrible decisions" that her left even her own campaign manager smacking his forehead.
I assure you, America. No matter what happens, WE ARE FAR BETTER OFF THAN WE WOULD HAVE BEEN.
If you have ANY fear of God at ALL, I suggest you PRAY for Donald Trump. Pray that he have the humility of spirit that his predecessor appallingly lacked. Pray that he have the wisdom that his predecessor appallingly lacked. Pray that he is able in these next sixty days to assemble capable leaders and administrators who will be able to push and pull America back on track. Ultimately it is GOD who is sovereign over the affairs of men:
He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. — Daniel 2:21
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. — Romans 13:1
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people–for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. — 1 Timothy 2:1-2
If you want that "peaceful and quiet life," I more than suggest that you begin to pray for Donald Trump whether or not you voted for him.
Because like it or not, he is your next president.

Obama's Demonic Czars: Obama 'Safe Schools Czar' Supported Pedophile Molestation Of Student
"No, no, no! Not God bless America! God damn America!" – Reverend Wright, Barack Obama's pastor and spiritual mentor for 23 years.
During the 2008 Presidential campaign Barack Obama told audiences, "Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself."
And he has surrounded himself with demons.
He surrounded himself with Van Jones – a communist; a supporter of cop murderers; a man who took the terrorists' side on 9/11; a man who signed a "truther" statement demonizing President Bush for secretly attacking the World Trade Center Twin Towers on September 11; a racist who accused even white liberals of being murderers who deliberately poisoned people of color; etc. etc. etc.
He surrounded himself with men like Cass Sunstein and Ezekiel Emanuel, who have said things like:
– "When implemented, the Complete Lives system produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most substantial chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated… The Complete Lives system justifies preference to younger people because of priority to the worst-off rather than instrumental value." – Ezekiel Emanuel, Obama's handpicked health policy adviser at the Office of Management and Budget, and appointed by Obama to serve on the Federal Council on Comparative Effectiveness Resarch
– "I urge that the government should indeed focus on life-years rather than lives. A program that saves young people produces more welfare than one that saves old people." – Cass Sunstein, Obama's Regulatory Czar.
And Dr. Mengele couldn't have put it much better.
Barack Obama has surrounded himself with men like his science czar, John Holdren, who has stated:
– Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.
– It would even be possible to require pregnant single women to marry or have abortions, perhaps as an alternative to placement for adoption, depending on the society.
– Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock.
And now we are learning that he has surrounded himself with a teacher who refused to protect a child under his counseling from being sodomized by a pedophile.
Kevin Jennings, appointed as the Director of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools, is another Obama buddy out of ultra-corrupt Chicago.
In 1997, according to a transcript put together by Brian J. Burt, managing editor of the student-run Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, Jennings said he hoped that promoting homosexuality in schools would be considered fine in the future.
"One of our board members" was called to testify before Congress when they had hearings on the promotion of homosexuality in schools," Jennings said. "And we were busy putting out press releases, and saying, "We're not promoting homosexuality, that's not what our program's about. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah…. '
"Being finished might someday mean that most straight people, when they would hear that someone was promoting homosexuality, would say 'Yeah, who cares?' because they wouldn't necessarily equate homosexuality with something bad that you would not want to promote."
The group Jennings founded has also been accused of promoting homosexuality in schools. At a GLSEN conference in 2000, co-sponsored with the Massachusetts Department of Education, the group landed in hot water when it was revealed that it had included an educational seminar for kids that graphically described some unorthodox sex techniques.
A state official who spoke to teens at the conference said:
"Fisting (forcing one's entire hand into another person's rectum or vagina) often gets a bad rap….[It's] an experience of letting somebody into your body that you want to be that close and intimate with…[and] to put you into an exploratory mode."
You see, I think most parents would rather teachers and public schools teach their kids to be in "exploratory mode" of damn near anything else than their children's rectums. Am I wrong?
And then we have Kevin Jennings sharing how he provided advice to a fifteen year-old sophomore:
Another controversy from Jennings' past concerns an account in his 1994 book, "One Teacher In 10," about how, as a teacher, he knew a high school sophomore named Brewster who was "involved" with an "older man":
"Out spilled a story about his involvement with an older man he had met in Boston. I listened, sympathized, and offered advice. He left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on the campus for the next two years, until he graduated."
The account led Diane Lenning, head of the National Education Association's Republican Educators Caucus, to criticize Jennings in 2004 for not alerting school and state authorities about the boy's situation, calling Jennings' failure to do so an "unethical practice."
Jennings threatened to sue Lenning for libel, saying she had no evidence that he knew the student in question was sexually active, or that he failed to report the situation.
But a professor at Grove City College in Pennsylvania, Warren Throckmorton, has produced an audio recording of a speech Jennings gave in 2000 at a GLSEN rally in Iowa, in which Jennings made it clear that he believed the student was sexually active:
"I said, 'What were you doing in Boston on a school night, Brewster?' He got very quiet, and he finally looked at me and said, 'Well I met someone in the bus station bathroom and I went home with him.' High school sophomore, 15 years old' I looked at Brewster and said, 'You know, I hope you knew to use a condom.'" [Audio is available here via Youtube, and the professor's website contains a transcript of Jenning's account with Brewster].
The Washington Times reported in 2004 that "state authorities said Mr. Jennings filed no report in 1988." A spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Department for Children and Families, the department to which Jennings — as a Massachusetts teacher — would have been legally obliged to report the situation, did not return calls from FOXNews.com.
Kevin Jennings is an advocate for homosexual pedophilia. He has in his past openly supported the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) by way of praising Harry Hay. Jennings wrote the forward to a book entitled, The Queering of American Education. For what it's worth, fellow Chicago Obama buddy and terrorist Bill Ayers wrote a note endorsing the book on its cover jacket.
This is the man that Obama "entrusted" with ultimate care over your children. But he is a demon in masquerade.
The despicable personal conduct, followed by the threat of a lawsuit when it was revealed, reminds me of another organization that Obama chose to surround himself with — ACORN.
Contrary to the left's dismissal, Obama's ties with ACORN are deep, and go back more than 20 years.
Two kids who were sick of the lefts' corruption, hypocrisy, and vileness decided to see if ACORN would fall for the most horrendous scenario they could imagine: a prostitute and her pimp seeking to commit federal income tax fraud so they could purchase a house with the intent of importing child sex slaves from El Salvador so they could start a brothel.
And Obama's ACORN fell for it – on film – on at least five separate occasions in five separate ACORN offices.
Let us judge Obama by the people with whom he has surrounded himself. Because he has surrounded himself with the devil – and demons are doing his bidding.
And let us finally begin to think about how God will judge these demons – and the president who surrounded himself with them. And, yes, the nation that elected that president.
Galatians 6:7 makes it clear, "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap." And it is not just individuals who fall under God's judgment, but nations. As Psalm 110:6 says, "He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the rulers of the whole earth."

Q: How can you publish a CSV as feature layer when creating a feature class in ArcGIS online? According to ESRI's instructions, one is supposed to place a check mark next to a box which states "publish this file as a feature layer."However, this check box does not appear anywhere in the "Item from my computer" box when one initially brings the file into ArcGIS online. How would I locate this check box? Is this ESRI's error or am I overlooking something?

A: Once you browse for the csv file the window will change to accommodate the file type. Because there are different file types that can be added, instead of listing all the possible configuration options ArcGIS Online waits to see the file type you have inputted and then gives you the available options.
To summarise, the steps are as follows;
1)Select "add item"
2)Select "item from my computer"
3)Browse for your csv
4)Once the csv is selected the window will change and the "publish this file as a feature layer." is now visible.
Hope this helps.

The clinical psychology program requires a calendar-year clinical internship (or half-time over 2 years) as the culmination of clinical training.
Clinical internships have become highly competitive, especially in popular areas such as Washington and Boston. Although CUA students have long held a strong reputation at internship settings, careful preparation of your internship application and consideration of a wide range of alternative placements is strongly encouraged. We also strongly urge you to add to your application list, internship sites outside of the immediate area and other very desirable places to live. Sites in the midwest and in small towns are not inundated with applications as are sites in attractive urban environments. Do apply in the DC area if you would like to stay here, because our students have done extremely well in the area, but you will increase the chances of getting an internship that you are pleased with if you also plan to apply more widely. But also keep in mind our great success rate in the last many years in placing students on internship in their first year of applying! As a final and important consideration, your application for clinical internships has implications for the larger program, our reputation, and the maintenance of our accreditation. Applying for internship requires that you are ready and that you make the maximum effort to ensure success. For example, some students consider applying when they are perhaps less than fully prepared or consider applying to only 1-2 sites thinking that if they don't get in, they can try again next year. This kind of approach has implications beyond the student applicant—such an approach can adversely affect the larger program if you fail to obtain an internship on a first try. If there are any questions about your readiness or strategy, please talk to your faculty advisor, the Associate DCT, or the DCT.
Gather information about internships early. The summer before applying is a good time to collect information about sites, although the sites will typically not have their actual materials available until around September. The source for information on sites and many other aspects of internship application is the website of the Association for Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC), the professional organization of internship sites, http://www.appic.org/. APPIC has a searchable database of internships with links to internship websites.
The Associate DCT and DCT hold a meeting each September for those who are planning to apply for internship. All facets of the application process are discussed. Students who are currently on internship are invited to this meeting, because their advice is invaluable. Beyond this meeting, a listserv of applicants and current/recent interns is created each year to facilitate questions and answers.
APPIC has an application form, the AAPI, which is accessed via their web site (see link above) that all sites use. Note that, the AAPI is completed entirely online. The application includes a detailed break-down of hours spent in various clinical activities, as well as tests administered. There is also a set of essays on the AAPI. In addition to the standard AAPI, many sites add their own set of questions.
Application deadlines range from late October to December. Most are November 1 currently, although they keep getting earlier. Give yourself time to work and re-work your internship applications. It is essential to tailor your application to each site in the final essay, and the new online AAPI allows for doing so. General statements (e.g., "I want to intern at your setting because it offers the best training") are less effective than those that can detail what is unique about each internship and how it fits into your overall plan for professional development. In our experience, in preparing your essays it can be helpful to look at other essays of peers or in books, but then be sure to put them away before writing your own. Your essays must reflect your original work and you never want to literally or inadvertently use the work of others! But be sure to ask your advisor to read all your essays and give you feedback.
High-quality internships are geared toward training, not providing service cheaply through student labor. It stands to reason, then, that the best internships consider more than just the quantity of prior clinical experience. The quality of experience and the student's demonstrated scholarship in all areas of psychology are equally or more important. Give consideration, therefore, to soliciting recommendations from advisors who may know you primarily through research collaboration or seminar work, as well as from clinical supervisors.
Students must receive program approval (from their advisor or the DCT) prior to applying for internship. All criteria are included in the Clinical Practica and Externship Policies and Procedures Guide (Appendix A of this handbook). Faculty meet early in the Fall semester to review the list of students intending to apply for internship that year. Briefly, the criteria are: students must be in good academic standing; students must have submitted their brief (2-page) dissertation proposal to the department faculty by October 1 of the year in which they are applying for internship; students will have completed at least two 9 month clinical externships by the time they begin internship (this rule effective with classes entering in Fall 2011 and later), students will have received satisfactory evaluations from all on-campus and off-campus practicum and externship supervisors, or have satisfied the requirements of any remediation plans that were developed for unsatisfactory evaluations; students will have received satisfactory faculty ratings on the clinical case conference (beginning with classes entering in Fall 2009 or later). In addition to these specific criteria, faculty make a global determination of whether the sum total of each student's training experiences will have provided sufficient breadth of training to satisfy program expectations and requirements. Operationally, the Director of Clinical Training will not complete the portion of the internship applications that attests to the student's readiness for internship unless the student has met these criteria.
All APA-accredited internships are acceptable to the program, and non-accredited sites are acceptable if they meet the criteria below as determined by the Director of Clinical Training. The program strongly encourages students to go to accredited sites. APPIC's database of sites indicates which are APA-accredited. A list can also be found at http://www.apa.org/ed/accreditation/. An APA-accredited internship is not required for licensing in most jurisdictions, although it is in some. Those jurisdictions that do not require an accredited site may require the applicant for licensing to provide much more documentation than an applicant with an accredited internship. Further, some employers give preference to job candidates who have had an accredited internship.
Some internships offer specialized training in a particular treatment modality (e.g., psychodynamic) or with a particular population (e.g., inpatients; children and adolescents; college students). Decisions about whether to do such an internship should be made in light of the student's overall training experience (pre- and post-internship) and career goals.
Students in the CUA Clinical Psychology Training Program are encouraged to seek an APA-accredited clinical internship. However, occasionally a student elects a non-accredited internship. In order to assure the quality of training, the following guidelines serve as minimum standards for non-APA-accredited internship programs. Any internship that fails to meet these guidelines will not qualify as an acceptable training experience for CUA clinical psychology students. The guidelines are not meant to suggest what constitutes a good internship program, merely a minimally acceptable one. An attempt is made to specify certain features which we feel are essential, as well as other features which may be desirable but not absolutely necessary.
1. The student must be clearly designated as a trainee in a formally identified training program, in contrast to being hired as a junior staff member of the facility itself.
a) establishing a contract with the trainee regarding the content of the training program. This contract should take into account the trainee's specific skill deficits. It should specify a set of required training experiences (number of hours of direct client contact, seminars, conferences, etc.), and a set of elective training experiences.
b) insuring that the trainee's program is evaluated periodically, so that the training program can be modified, if necessary.
c) insuring that mid-year and end-of-year evaluations are made of the trainee's skills and deficits as a clinical psychologist and that these are sent to the CUA Director of Clinical Training.
3. The trainee must receive broad exposure to a reasonable variety of significant clinical problems. It is difficult to specify in advance just what constitutes "broad exposure" or "significant problems." For example, exclusive contact with just one of the following problem groups would constitute too restricted a training experience: an incarcerated prison population, or a chemically dependent sample (even if both in-patient and out-patient). The internship facility itself could provide direct service only to a limited clientele, as in the case of a prison. However, the training director will be responsible for providing supplementary training experiences at outside training agencies, in order to insure broad exposure to diverse problems as well.
4. It is desirable that the trainee gain experience in a wide variety of treatment modalities, such as individual, group, marital/family, long-term, short-term inpatient and outpatient treatment. Moreover, it is desirable that the trainee receive exposure to a variety of theoretical approaches to treatment (e.g., cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic). However, exposure to a variety of treatment modes and models does not substitute for experience with a broad client population.
5. The trainee's internship experiences should represent a reasonable balance of activities undertaken by a clinical psychologist, including direct treatment, consultation, assessment, and research. Formal seminars and case conferences are also desirable components of the training year.
6. Adequate supervision time must be allocated for all training activities in which the intern is engaged. This supervision must be provided by two or more licensed/certified psychologists (Ph.D. or Psy.D.) on the training program staff. Total supervision time should amount to at least 5 or 6 hours per week, at least 2 hours of which should constitute individual supervision by a licensed/certified staff psychologist. In addition, it is desirable that the trainee receive some consultation with, and/or supervision by, other mental health professionals, in order to foster a multidisciplinary perspective.
Very important: If you do an unaccredited internship, you may be asked by the jurisdiction in which you seek licensing to provide voluminous documentation on the hours you spent on internship. Track your hours just as you did earlier in the program in preparation for internship application, e.g., by how many face-to-face hours with what type of client, and so on. It is important to know that some future employers (like the VA system) may require an APA accredited internship experience, which may influence your decision-making therein.
APPIC administers a matching process of applicants and sites. In other words, after a process of applications and rank ordering, a complex computer program comes up with the best match of an applicant to the highest rank-ordered site possible. Applicants are told where they are going, and sites are told who their interns will be. Information on the match can be found on the APPIC website, http://www.appic.org.
Students must sign up for the match with APPIC and pay a fee. Most applications are due about November 1, and interviews take place in December and January. In Phase I of the match, both applicants and sites submit rank-ordered lists early in February. In other words, students rank-order all the sites they are willing to attend, and sites rank-order all the applicants they are willing to train. APPIC convincingly demonstrates that it is in applicants' (and sites') best interest to submit an honest rank-order list, regardless of what chance the applicant thinks he or she has of getting the top-ranked site. The Phase I match outcome is announced on a Friday in late February.
Sites are never told what rank an applicant with whom they are matched gave the site, and vice versa. In submitting a rank-order list, applicants are guaranteeing that they will attend the site to which they are matched; it is ethically unacceptable to change one's mind after the match has been announced. That is why it is so important to rank-order only those sites to which an applicant is willing to go.
Beginning in 2011, students who do not obtain a position in this first phase of the match are eligible to participate in a Phase II match. Those applicants use the AAPI Online service to submit applications to programs with unfilled positions from Phase I approximately one week after the Phase I match. Applicants and programs submit new rank order lists for Phase II of the Match by a deadline that is roughly 3 weeks after the Phase I match. A second matching process is carried out, and the results of Phase II of the match are distributed 1 week later.
2. Copies of graduate school (and occasionally undergraduate) transcripts.
4. One or two places ask for descriptions of every graduate psychology course you have taken.
5. Several places ask for copies of assessment reports (usually two) that you have written from complete batteries. Be sure to omit the client's name!
6. At least 3 letters of reference, as well as the APPIC form attesting to readiness for internship that must be submitted by the Director of Clinical Training.
Most places give individual interviews. A few places interview applicants in groups. A few internships have two interviewers talk to you together.
Since interviews take place in the winter, you might ask what to do if there's bad weather.
Some typical questions are below.
1. What are your strengths and weaknesses as a person? As a professional?
2. What makes you interested in this internship program? How is this setting relevant to your professional goals?
3. Tell me about your supervision experiences. Ever had a conflict with a supervisor? How did you handle it? What were your best and worst supervision experiences?
4. What would you do if your supervisor wanted you to do something you thought was unethical?
5. Why do you think you entered this field?
6. What have you learned about yourself in supervision?
7. How well do you know Exner scoring, MMPI interpretation?
9. Describe a client you have treated...Why did you pick that case? (By the way, it's a good idea to have a case prepared that's similar to the clientele at that site, if possible.) Keep your case presentation short and clear. You might practice it aloud beforehand; many sites ask this.
10. What is special about you, why should we take you instead of other applicants?
12. How far along are you on your dissertation? Why did you choose your topic?
13. What do you see yourself doing in 10 years? What would you like people to say about you at your retirement party?
15. Interviewer describes case and asks how you would intervene.
16. What was your most/least successful therapy case? What types of clients are easiest/hardest for you to deal with?
17. Interviewer points out an area of inexperience, in your background, asks you to comment. Previous students' advice (which may not be the only way to go, but which worked for them): Avoid becoming defensive. Acknowledge the weakness and say this is why you are interested in this internship, because you feel it can help fill in the gap in that part of your experience, that you are committed to working on "X" and believe your record demonstrates that you can be successful at it. An alternative strategy: beat them to the punch if you have a glaring weakness in your experience or knowledge. Tell them right off the bat that one reason you are interested in their program is to become proficient at "X," an area you are very excited about but one in which you would like to gain more competency.
18. What do you think the role of diagnosis is in psychotherapy? What do you think of the DSM? What are its strengths and weaknesses? How would you change it?
19. Imagine you are asked to assess a client. What one (they asked for two at one site) test(s) would you use and why?
20. The interviewer presents you with an ethical dilemma, asks what you would do etc., followed by the question, "would you turn in your colleague to hospital administration?"
21. How would you feel about/deal with working with murderers, rapists, and/or child abusers? We have some patients like that here. How would you handle it?
22. How do you make sense of doing clinical work with individuals based on research, when research uses means?
23. How would your best friend describe you?
24. Sites with a high percentage of ethnic minority clients, if you're not a minority yourself, may ask how it would feel being white working with a predominantly African American clientele.
25. You may be asked about any personal therapy you've had. A good way of responding is to talk about its relevance to your clinical work.
26. What do you like best about your program, and what would you change about your program if you could?
27. Is there anything else you'd like me to know about you?
1. What your interviewer's interests are.
2. What do your interns do after internship here? Do you help interns get jobs?
3. If there are new faculty and/or some have left, what kinds of changes will that have on the program? Also you can ask about upcoming changes or who might not be supervising in the coming year.
4. One good question to ask is what sort of trainees do you think are happiest here?
1. How did you become interested in psychology?
2. How did you become interested in (specific interest area)?
3. What would you be doing if you were not in psychology?
4. Personal strengths and weaknesses? How do they influence your work? What have you done to deal with your shortcomings?
5. What are your goals after internship? In 5 years?
6. Tell me about yourself?
7. Personal strengths and weaknesses? Who are you, personally?
8. What do you do in your spare time? To relax?
9. Tell me about your interest in this area (geography)?
10. Why did you choose your training program?
11. Why should we accept you over other equally qualified candidates?
12. What do you have to contribute to us?
1. Dissertation topic? How is your research progressing? Where do you see it going?
2. How did you get interested in this topic?
3. Clinical relevance of research?
1. Tell me about an instrument with which you feel competent.
2. Opinion of projective testing.
3. What Rorschach scoring system? Why?
5. What further assessment training or experiences do you need?
1. Greatest strength as a therapist?
2. Type of client most difficult to work with? What types of feelings do you have toward such cases? How do these feelings interfere with treatment?
3. Orientation in therapy? What do you think of __ approach?
4. How do you see yourself as a therapist?
5. Challenges you expect to face as a therapist?
6. Experience with family/group/inpatient/etc. treatment?
9. What type of client do you work best with?
10. What sort of supervisors have you had? What type of supervision is best for you?
11. What further therapy training or experience do you need?
1. What can we do to make you want to come here?
2. How do you see us fitting with your goals?
3. Which of your interest areas are (not) addressed by our program?
4. Where else have you applied and what attracted you to these places?
5. What attracts you most to our internship?
1. What else would like me know about you that isn't apparent from your CV?
2. What is the one question you would like me to ask you?
