Helping to create fearless investors
by Kate McIntyre | 07 Apr 2020
About five years ago, Aaron Christie-David dove from a marketing role into the deep end of mortgage broking and has been swimming great strides ever since.
Last year the Sydney-based broker ranked 76 in MPA's Top 100 after increasing his total value by 16.89% to over $67m for the financial year. But success did not come about through any sort of short cut. Instead it took hard work, the right team and a good dose of science.
From marketing to mortgage broking.
Working in a marketing role for the Commonwealth Bank's broker channel, Christie-David knew a fair bit about the industry before making the transition.
"I knew a lot about the broker network and distribution but I had never written a loan."
He says his wife suggested the move to mortgage broking after he found himself at a crossroads in his career.
"Then I literally just stumbled across a Mortgage Choice franchise for sale – and I bought it."
It was a decision that soon paid off. The new to industry broker was named an MPA Top Gun in 2016, after learning lending from the deep end as a franchisee.
"I was super grateful for the recognition."
He says, after earning this distinction, lenders started to take more notice and he was able to build great relationships with them.
"I had the franchise for nearly 18 months before I stepped out on my own – and that's when we started Atelier Wealth."
A family business is born.
Christie-David co-owns Atelier Wealth with his broker wife Bernadette.
With a strong focus on helping property investors, the pair have built a four-year-old family business that stands out from the crowd.
"We've created our own ecosystem methodology," says Christie-David.
"We call it the 'fearless property investor'. It helps the first-time property investor take the plunge."
By providing education for their clients, as well as access to a network of successful investors and professionals alike, Christie-David says they have created a point of difference out of an industry of sameness.
"That's come off having a really good network and really good relationships."
Christie-David says Atelier Wealth has put a lot of hard work into nurturing relationships with buyer's agents, accountants and financial advisors who refer their customers to them; holding thank you functions to show their appreciation.
"We bring them all around to say, 'Thank you very much for referring your customers to us'."
"We've never done referral commissions – we don't take and we don't pay for the business," he says, explaining the importance of building good relationships in return.
"Our currency is, we'll refer customers and we'll say thank you and we'll make sure we do a good job."
Clients are then able to reap the benefits of having a team of specialised professionals at their fingertips, as well as access to educational resources and inspirational content.
"We created the Australian Property Investment Podcast, which gives some tips and interviews with experts."
He says they also give clients a checklist to complete so that, by the time it comes to a first meeting, the client has covered off most of the legwork and they can talk strategy.
"We also get them speaking with some of our existing and more mature investors."
"Connecting them with some of our existing clients then forms a new level of trust."
"Then we refer them out to an accountant who has 50+ investment properties himself, or a buyer's agent that's done very well."
From artist to scientist – the secret of running a business.
Christie-David attributes much of his success to hard work and having a great team.
"Anyone in that top 100 has to have a quality team around them, because you can't physically do the hours."
He says his team come together every week to discuss numbers and the action they need to take. Establishing methodical routines and processes has been a key part of his business strategy.
"I used to think business was more an artform."
"You think as an entrepreneur or a business owner it's very artistic, but it's actually not."
"It's all science."

Louisiana Conference: Addison, Robert J. "Bobby"
The Rev. Robert Addison died on Saturday, August 21, 1993 at his home in Monroe. The world lost a good man, the Louisiana Conference lost a faithful servant, Monroe and Bastrop lost a gentle prophet, and St. James and Mt. Olive United Methodist Churches lost a loving pastor.
Bobby was born September 21, 1949, in Chicago, Illinois to Bessie Butler Addison and James Addison. His father died young, leaving the child-rearing to Bobby's mother. The strong influences in his life included Mr. John Beaver, with whom he shared a home at the time of his death, Rev. A. E. Franklin and Rev. Robert Murray, former pastors in Monroe.
I have been friends with Bob since 1969 and found his life a blessing. Bob was not the front person in social change, but his life was lived as if "Christ has broken down the walls of hostility…" In 1970, Bob and I visited Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C. While there, we met several Black students from that area who helped give Bob a new understanding of what it meant to be Black and a new esteem in being who he was – A Black man. Bob believed that "God hath made of one blood all people." He was always a man of faith. This dominated his life and was readily apparent to all those with whom he had contact.
Bobby had few relatives, only some distant cousins. He had a large family of friends who loved him. Bobby is dead. We who remain have the privilege of continuing his preaching of love, compassion and equality and of allowing the love of Christ to rule lives.

 The U.S. Constitution requires that every person living in the United States is counted every ten years for the purpose of ensuring fair representation and distribution of resources. The U.S. Census Bureau will carry out the census this spring, and Census Day is on April 1, 2020. The decennial census provides foundational information that will be used to make policy decisions for ten years.
ISBE is doing its part by making sure that schools recognize their important role in this process. Schools and educators are in constant contact with hard to count populations.
2020 Census Information
The 2020 Census self-response deadline has been extended due to COVID-19. We're encouraging everyone to either:
Visit https://my2020census.gov/ to fill out their questionnaire online.
Call our toll free number at (844) 330-2020 (English) or (844) 468-2020 (Spanish) to speak with a live operator.
Mail in their completed paper copy of the 2020 Census.

Resources for Hard to Count Populations
One of the biggest challenges in ensuring a complete count is reaching and counting hard to count (HTC) populations. These include young children, immigrants, the homeless, LGBTQ communities and more. Schools interact with HTC populations on a daily basis and are essential in ensuring a complete count.
Immigrant Communities:
The 2020 Census will NOT ask about citizenship and federal law prohibits the reporting of any census answers to immigration, law enforcement, or anyone else. Everyone should fill out the census, regardless of immigration status.

Register Your Census Night
The Illinois Department of Public Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recommended social distancing to slow the spread of the coronavirus/COVID-19. In line with this guidance, ISBE has recommended that schools and districts review all gatherings and events where large numbers of people may be present. ISBE regrets that since Census Nights pose the potential for large groups of people to come together, ISBE no longer encourages schools and districts to hold Census Nights. We greatly appreciate your leadership in the State's 2020 Census complete count efforts.
Thankfully, the U.S. Census Bureau has many resources available that can be sent home with students to share information with their families about the importance of participating in the 2020 Census. A flyer in many languages is available at www.census.gov/programs-surveys/sis/2020census/get-involved/take-home-flyer.html. The U.S. Census Bureau's Statistics in Schools classroom activities can also help raise awareness about the census, and many of these activities can be completed by students at home, if school is not in session. Additional resources can be found at ISBE.net/Census.
Individuals may complete the census online, by phone, or by mail beginning April 1. Completing the census in one of these formats means census takers do not need to visit the home.

Q: How to call the Java file from another Java file I've been having difficulties calling a Java file that I've created from another Java file that would contain the UI elements. Here is the Java code that I'm trying to call:
public class XzibitVideo extends Application{

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) {
        String path = "Data/Video/Clip.flv";
        Media media = new Media(new File(path).toURI().toString());

        MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(media);
        MediaView mediaView = new MediaView(mediaPlayer);

        BorderPane borderPane = new BorderPane();
        borderPane.setCenter(mediaView);
        //borderPane.setStyle("-fx-background-color: Black");
        //borderPane.setBottom(addToolBar());

        Scene scene = new Scene(borderPane, 1024, 800);
        scene.setFill(javafx.scene.paint.Color.BLACK);

        stage.setTitle("Media Player");
        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();

        mediaPlayer.setAutoPlay(true);
        mediaPlayer.setOnError(()->System.out.println("media error"+ mediaPlayer.getError().toString()));
    }
}

I've tried a couple of methods to call it, but im afraid none of them worked. for example,
XzibitVideo programVideo = new XzibitVideo();
programVideo.start();

XzibitVideo programVideo = new XzibitVideo();
programVideo.run();

XzibitVideo programVideo = new XzibitVideo();
programVideo.main();

*I've also tried adding arguements/parameters, but with no luck:
XzibitVideo programVideo = new XzibitVideo();
programVideo.start(Stage stage);

If anyone has any idea on how to properly call this function i would be extremely grateful! I've been working on this part for way too long, I'm losing all hope.. :(

A: CLASSPATH defines where to look for classes. You can set CLASSPATH as environmental variable (in a way depending on your OS), or you can provide it a command-line parameter when invoking Java.
The class files can be in another directory, or in a JAR - anyway you have to point to it with CLASSPATH.

A: I think this should work:
    XzibitVideo programVideo = new XzibitVideo();
    programVideo.launch(XzibitVideo.class);
    this.dispose();

A: You can launch the application from another class with
Application.launch(XzibitVideo.class);

Note:

*

*this method will block until the JavaFX platform exits

*You can only call launch() once per application (i.e. once per JVM lifecycle)

It's not really clear why you want to do this. The start() method in the Application subclass is (as its name implies) the starting point for the application. main methods are only even included in JavaFX applications for the benefit of runtime environments that can't launch JavaFX Application classes natively. Consequently, Application subclasses are inherently not reusable. If you want XzibitVideo to be resuable, you should refactor it so it is not a subclass of Application, and just create a simple Application subclass whose start() method refers to it.

A: Try:
Stage stage = new Stage(); // or using another constructor of class Stage
XzibitVideo programVideo = new XzibitVideo();
programVideo.start(stage);

China's Xi says internet control key to stability
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China must strengthen its grip on the internet to ensure broader social and economic goals are met, state news agency Xinhua reported on Saturday citing comments from President Xi Jinping, underlining a hardening attitude towards online content.
FILE PHOTO: Chinese President Xi Jinping meets World Economic Forum (WEF) Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab (not pictured) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China April 16, 2018. Naohiko Hatta/Pool via REUTERS
Under Xi's rule China has increasingly tightened its grip on the internet, concerned about losing influence and control over a younger generation who are driving a diverse and vibrant online culture from livestreaming to blogs.
"Without web security there's no national security, there's no economic and social stability, and it's difficult to ensure the interests of the broader masses," Xinhua cited Xi as saying.
"We cannot let the internet become a platform for disseminating harmful information and stirring up trouble with rumors," he added in comments made at a cyber security conference in Beijing, Xinhua said.
Chinese regulators have been driving a sweeping crackdown on media content, which has been gaining force since last year, spreading a chill among content makers and distributors.
China is also looking to take a leading role globally in internet regulation and technology more broadly, which has come into sharp focus amid a trade standoff with the United States and an arms race over technology.
The United States banned sales of parts and software to Chinese telecoms equipment maker ZTE earlier this week, which the Chinese firm said on Friday threatened its survival. ZTE uses U.S. chips in many of its smartphones.
The ZTE case had "triggered a heated debate" in China about advanced technology, Xinhua said in a separate report on Saturday, adding mastering high-end technologies such as chips was "key" to becoming a strong nation.
Luo Wen, China's deputy industry minister, said while China had made progress in advance manufacturing in areas like electric vehicles and aviation, it was still facing challenges due to a lack of top talent and global scale, Xinhua said.
"Our advanced manufacturing development faces the risk of being boxed in at the low-end," Xinhua reported, citing Luo.

Nearing the end of its first year of existence, the citrus options market has not exactly set the financial world on fire. Citrus options have sauntered on the sidelines along with most other agricultural options while financial futures and options have roared along with the bull market.
Despite a sluggish start, the pilot options program likely will be approved for permanent status, according to Kate Hathaway, a spokeswoman for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in Washington. After a 50-year absence, ag options were reintroduced by the federal government in late 1984 to provide farmers with another tool to hedge against price swings. Citrus options began trading in December 1985.
The federal commission is the commodity market watchdog designed to prohibit manipulative trading abuses that caused Congress to ban ag options in the 1930s, before the oversight agency existed.
"I think that in the near future you'll see the pilot status end and they will be authorized" to continue with permanent status, Hathaway said. The CFTC, she said, is not concerned with the sluggish trading that often typifies a new market.
"We are concerned that there be no abuses in the market, and we've had no problems in that regard," Hathaway said.
An option is an agreement between two parties -- a buyer and a seller. In the case of futures options, such as the citrus option and other ag options, the buyer acquires the right, but not the obligation to buy or sell a specific futures contract at a set price at any time on or before a set date.
In exchange for acquiring this right, the buyer -- usually the citrus grower or farmer -- makes a one-time non-refundable payment, called the premium, to the seller of the option. The seller -- also known as the writer, usually a professional market trader -- receives the payment in exchange for the obligation to deliver the specific futures contract should the buyer choose to exercise his right to it.
Options are traded in two forms, puts and calls. With a call, the buyer is granted the right to buy the underlying futures contract. With a put, the buyer is granted the right to sell the underlying contract.
In essence, the ag option is similar to an insurance policy, said Joseph O'Neill, president of the New York Cotton Exchange, where citrus and cotton options are traded.
"The premiums are just like the cost of an insurance policy," O'Neill said. "I think it's going to be a good market, because there's a whole bunch of things a grower can do using options. For example, for establishing a minimum price you can buy a put and if the price goes up sell your fruit for more and forget the option; and if it goes down you exercise the option.
"You get all of the upside potential without the downside risk," O'Neill said.
In that respect, options differ from the underlying citrus futures, which have been traded since the mid-1960s. Futures carry the potential for gain, as well as losses, in the form of margin calls. A farmer or citrus grower can use the futures market in hedging strategies to buffer price swings, but must be financially able to meet margin calls. By using options, margin calls are eliminated.
Even though the CFTC likely will approve citrus options for permanent status, the lack of trading volume could doom the new market, said Frank Dasse, associate economics professor at Rollins College.
"The options market is costing people money to keep in operation," Dasse said. "If the market doesn't come on soon, I suspect the people are going to say 'let's cut bait.' "
Citrus Associates Inc., an industry group that oversees citrus futures and options for the Cotton Exchange, has no plans to call for an end to the options market, according to John Walker, Citrus Associates president. Walker is a veteran citrus futures trader with Dean Witter Reynolds in Orlando.
"It's here to stay and it's going to survive," Walker said of citrus options. "It's been slow to start. The call side has been fairly active, and the put side has been sparse for lots of reasons," Walker said.
One major factor stalling the market at the moment, Walker said, is the ongoing Federal Trade Commission complaint against Brazil, filed by Florida Citrus Mutual. Mutual, the largest citrus trade group in the state, has accused Brazil of illegally dumping cheap orange juice on the U.S. market and has asked for additional tariffs on Brazilian imports.
"Until that case is settled, we're in never-never land," Walker said, because of the potential impact of higher orange juice prices if additional duties are imposed. The orange juice futures market normally becomes more active in the fall and winter as threats of freezes increase, and the activity normally spurs additional options trading.
A number of impediments are holding back the citrus options market, Dasse said, including fear and a lack of understanding of the market by growers.
"In some cases they say, 'Gee, if a futures contract is risky, then an option on futures must be worse,' " Dasse said.
Dasse, who recently bought a small orange grove, said that he is a supporter of the concept of citrus options, but has turned to the futures market for his own hedging strategy.
"I'm such a small grower that the margin calls aren't that great and I can afford them," Dasse said. "If I were large enough and I was threatened by margin calls and the premiums were reasonable, I would lean toward using put options, because I can have my cake and eat it, too," Dasse said.
"If it freezes and prices go up, I can walk away and tear up the put. I can get the higher cash price. If we escape a freeze and prices tumble then my put is valuable, allowing me the right to require someone to buy my contract away at a set price."
But many larger growers who might benefit from options already have developed specific futures strategies over the years. For those more active traders with specific goals, futures are preferred because they do not carry the premium charge -- which can range from $150 to $1,000 or more per contract. Recently, premiums have been averaging about $600 per contract for the more-active trading months.
Premiums are set by professional writers, and as the writers become more familiar with the market the prices should come down, according to Walker.
"I may be a Pollyanna," Walker said, "but I think options will succeed because we are more and more moving into an international market, and options provide a lot of good strategies for the trade."

Amy Winehouse – You know I'm no good
March 24th, 2007 by Jason
"You know I'm no good"
She's making a buzz lately. Her PR people are working overtime. She's an unapologetic drinker, apparently.
I can't help but love her style, though. There's something raw and honest about her singing style. Couple that with dope ass beats and and old school feel, and I'm game.
The UK'ers aren't playing around these days. I feel like Lilly Allen should be tomorrow. Any takers?

Yes, definitely Lily tomorrow – may I suggest Knock 'Em Out? That song rocks.
I still feel like if you look at Amy Winehouse the wrong way she would beat you up.

Hey Jason! Love your song. Think it's really cool that you're doing this for a year. Hope you're doing well. I'll call you next time I'm in Dallas. Hope you're doing well!

I so wish I was this woman. Shawna, chime in! This girl is right up your alley too, i just know it.
she was definitely catchy and fun back then. but she's getting to the point where she's overplayed in my indie neck of the woods. it only gets worse.


Columbus State Community College has a program called Columbus State Self Defense Program. Was I pleasantly surprised to find one of the three instructors is fluent in high-intermediate ASL! The other one can fingerspell words. Then we were able to arrange to have ASL Interpreters to be hired all year long two times a week. I am so grateful for this free self defense classes and ASL interpreters being provided!
One deaf friend join and loves it as well. One more Deaf friend may join next month.
Thanks CSCC for providing us access to equal communication - it means the world to us who are constantly denied ASL in classes in many programs. We are truly grateful!

BMW Championship raises $2.8 million for Evans Scholars
Strong support from Indiana golf fans, Crooked Stick Golf Club and BMW helped the 2016 BMW Championship raise $2.8 million for the event's sole charity, the Evans Scholars Foundation.
Conducted by the Western Golf Association, the 2016 BMW Championship attracted more than 120,000 spectators to Crooked Stick from September 6-11 to see the PGA TOUR's best compete in the penultimate event of the FedExCup Playoffs. All proceeds from the BMW Championship help support the Evans Scholars Foundation's mission of sending deserving caddies to college. Since 2007, the BMW Championship has raised $24.4 million for the Evans Scholars Foundation.
Evans Scholars and Evans Scholars Alumni were featured prominently throughout tournament week. Current Scholars and Alumni – some of whom graduated from college decades ago – worked as caddies in Monday's Evans Scholars Cup and Wednesday's playing of the Gardner Heidrick Pro-Am. Scholars and Alumni donated their tips back to the Evans Scholars Program and helped raise more than $1 million.
Evans Scholars also interacted with spectators at a putting challenge inside the BMW Experience, and were introduced between tee times for the final groups on Saturday and Sunday. Purdue Evans Scholars David Fahnbulleh and Hayden Bauschka were featured in television segments produced by NBC and Golf Channel that exposed millions of golf fans worldwide to the Program and its mission. Bauschka received his full tuition and housing Evans Scholarship as a result of Jordan Spieth's hole-in-one during the 2015 BMW Championship.
"We are proud to once again contribute to a cause that does so much good for so many deserving caddies and their families," said Vince Pellegrino, WGA Senior Vice President of Tournaments. "The tremendous support we received from Indiana golf fans and the local and regional corporate communities helps ensure the Evans Scholars Foundation is able to continue awarding full tuition and housing scholarships to young men and women."
"For 10 years now, it has been an honor to support the Evans Scholars Foundation," said Trudy Hardy, Vice President of Marketing, and BMW of North America. "It's extremely gratifying to know that so many deserving young men and women will be afforded the opportunity to continue their education thanks to the $2.8 million raised during the 2016 BMW Championship."
The 2017 BMW Championship is set for September 12-17 at Conway Farms Golf Club in Lake Forest, Illinois.

This year's Mass to link with the Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow took place in St. Aloysius Garnethill on 31 January. Thankfully the weather was taking a break between storms Gertrude and Henry, and the church was full with singers (member of the St. Mungo Singers, the East End Deanery Choir and the visiting choir of St. Mungo's Alloa), musicians (Jane, John, Monica, Annette, Pauline, Clare, Carissa, Benedict, Anne Marie and a quartet from St. Andrew & St. Bride's East Kilbride) as well as representatives of the Knights of St. Columba and of the Gaelic and Irish communities, and parishioners from across Glasgow.
Brave piper, David, from the St. Francis Pipe Band (who are celebrating their 90th year this year) played outside to welcome people. The City Council was represented by Baillie John McLaughlin. The principal celebrant was Mgr. Paul Conroy and the homily was preached by Fr. John Gannon.
Before the Mass began, the instrumentalists played and the joint choirs sang some modern hymns written in a Celtic style: Celtic Invocation (Canon Fennelly/Noel S Donnelly), John Bell's setting of Psalm 62 and Sean O'Riada's To Christ the Seed.
The Mass itself began with the Hymn for the Year of Mercy and continued with an uplifting feast of liturgical music including the sung Gospel (by Deacon Kevin Kelly) and Eucharistic Prayer, the Jubilee Gloria, Schubert Sanctus and Acclamation, an unusual but lovely Gaelic hymn with a Latin response, and finishing with the Glasgow Anthem (Let Glasgow Flourish) and W.Y. Fullarton's hymn set to the Londonderry Air (I cannot Tel).
The 1st and 2nd readings of the Mass were in Gaelic and Irish and the Psalm of the day (Ps.70) in the setting by Noel Donnelly. The Intercessions also reflected the Celtic Roots theme, being in English, Gaelic and Irish.
Fr. Gannon began his homily on a light note by assuring the congregation that he did not intend to follow Deacon Kevin's example and sing his words. He reflected on people's fascination with genealogy, tracing their family roots, while too often showing less interest in their living relatives! He admitted that he sometimes felt ambivalent about the concept of roots. So many modern conflicts in the world had their roots, so to speak, in the roots of countries and people, in ancient injustices and conflicts. Such roots are evil but roots and our interest in them are not of themselves evil.
Today, he said, we were celebrating the roots of our faith and culture, remembering and honouring them, and he pointed out that one of the problems of Europe at present was the collective amnesia of its Christian roots and the downgrading of its values.
Gospel over the coming months. Christ indeed seems to be abandoning his roots.
Fr. Gannon invited us to recognise that, while our roots are important and ground us, and they cannot be devalued, they are only one part of the plant. The essential part is what the plant blossoms into. We are not created solely to look back. God calls us, as he did Israel, to share his Good News. God's love is not just given to us for ourselves but to be shared with others, to reach out to those we have not yet reached out to, and to remain open to the Holy Spirit. His challenging reflection gave balance to our celebrations.
That celebration was rounded off with tea and nibbles and plenty of conversation in the Ogilvie Hall.

The Southern Strategy unfolds...
By R. NealOctober 31, 2006
Chris Kromm's extensive backgrounder Friday on Scott Howell, Karl Rove protégé, mastermind behind the Kerry swift boat ads and attacks on Max Cleland in Georgia, and now vicious attack ads against Harold Ford Jr. in Tennessee, was quite revealing. Since then, the web of trickery and deceit in Tennessee has widened and become even more entangled.
The New York Times reported on Friday that Terry Nelson was hired by the Republican National Committee to oversee "independent expenditures" and that Nelson hired Howell to produce the Ford attack ad:
No Republicans wanted to take credit. When the identity of the producer, Scott Howell, emerged, Democrats quickly pounced on his history of bare-knuckled tactics and close relationship with Karl Rove as evidence of a familiar Republican approach.
And the incident quickly set off a wave of denials and denunciations from Republican officials, including the national party chairman and Senator John McCain of Arizona, who has hired Terry Nelson, another consultant affiliated with the spot.
Mr. Howell, who once worked for Mr. Rove's direct-mail business in Texas, was hired by Mr. Nelson, who was political director of the Bush-Cheney campaign in 2004. Mr. Nelson was in turn hired by Ken Mehlman, the former Bush-Cheney campaign manager and White House political director who is now chairman of the Republican National Committee, to oversee the so-called independent expenditure operations.
Late Friday afternoon, the Huffington Post reported:
Huffington Post has learned that Terry Nelson, a second producer of the racist Corker ad and a consultant to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Wal-Mart, is to be fired by Wal-Mart for his role in producing the ad. Developing...
Both Wal-Mart and Nelson denied it, but late Friday evening the reports were confirmed, and on Saturday the New York Times reported:
Under pressure from black leaders and union groups, Wal-Mart, the nation's largest retailer, said last night that it had cut ties with a prominent Republican strategist who helped create the provocative advertisement.
The strategist, Terry Nelson, was hired by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in 2005 to help burnish its image after a wave of attacks from organized labor and liberal groups.
Nelson has also been linked to the DeLay money laundering scandal, and was named in the indictment but not charged. Nelson is also involved in the New Hampshire phone-jamming incident, for which one GOP operative has already been convicted. Nelson is set to testify in a civil case involving the matter:
One of Arizona GOP Sen. John McCain's top political strategists is likely to be among those who will face grilling soon from lawyers for New Hampshire Democrats, thanks to a judge's ruling Thursday in a civil case involving a Republican plot in that state to jam Democrats' get-out-the-vote phone lines on Nov. 5, 2002.
Terry Nelson, a senior adviser to McCain's Straight Talk America political action committee, was the national political director for the Bush-Cheney '04 campaign.
But before that, Nelson served as deputy chief of staff and executive director of political operations at the National Republican Committee, a role in which he helped craft the GOP takeover of the Senate in 2002. That included a narrow victory in the 2002 race for a senate seat from New Hampshire by then-Republican House member John Sununu over then-Gov. Jean Shaheen, a Democrat.
In that job, Nelson was a supervisor to GOP official James Tobin. In December, Tobin was convicted of felony telephone-harassment charges related to his involvement in the New Hampshire phone jamming.
Although they write the checks to fund them, Ken Mehlman and the Republican National Committee continue to deny that they have any control over these ads while at the same time they continue to defend them. In response, the DNC asks:
"Why is it that Republican leaders continue to defend the tactics of the GOP's southern strategy?" asked DNC Communications Director Karen Finney. "Today Ken Mehlman not only refused to take responsibility for this despicable RNC ad, he continued to defend it. The truth is there is no reason Mehlman couldn't have called Terry Nelson, and no reason he couldn't have immediately denounced the ad publicly. Even Wal-mart fired Terry Nelson for his role in making this ad.
But big-time political consultants hired by the Republican National Committee are not the only players in the Southern Strategy.
Over the weekend, reports were popping up on a few Tennessee blogs that a wave of "push poll" calls was making its way across the state. The Knoxville News Sentinel reports today:
Several people receiving the calls characterized them as "push polling," a tactic in which a call begins as if a poll is being conducted and then shifts mostly to providing negative information about a candidate.
Among those getting the call was Georgiana Vines, News Sentinel political columnist.
The recorded call suggests to people who indicate they favor Ford or are undecided that the Democratic candidate favors higher takes and "foreign terrorists having the same rights as American citizens."
According to the article, the calls directed voters to a website run by Common Sense Tennessee. The News Sentinel was not able to find much information on the group, but believes it is linked to a similar group in Ohio. The article notes:
No one with either the Tennessee or Ohio organization could be reached for comment. Ohio media outlets have reported controversies over the Ohio organization concealing the identity of those donating $1.5 million to the group, which is headed by Procter & Gamble executive Nathan Estruth of Cincinnati.
The Ohio group used the money to run attack ads against Democratic candidate for governor Ted Strickland, who is opposing Republican J. Kenneth Blackwell, the controversial Secretary of State who runs Ohio elections.
The Common Sense Tennessee website lists "John Lind" as the "treasurer." If it is the same John Lind, he's the founder of the Presidential Prayer Team, which is running a "Pray the Vote" campaign for the 2006 elections. The campaign talks about "wicked leaders" and says:
Which type of leaders will we have here in America? The righteous kind we hope, but that's only going to be realized if God's people pray for the upcoming elections. This is not a political effort, but rather a spiritual one, as we encourage prayer for Godly leaders to be elected.
The group is also selling an exclusive $60 "Pray the Vote Prayer Package":
As we near Election Day on November 7, 2006, you have the opportunity from your pulpit on November 5th, or with your group to encourage your people to pray for the elections, then to vote in them. Present your churchgoers or group members with the message that it's critical we pray for righteous leaders to be elected, even as we perform our civic duty to vote for them. Use one of our two Pray the Vote Sermons plus our inspirational Pray The Vote Video along with the numerous other resources available to you in our church Group Prayer Package.
But wait there's more. There are unconfirmed reports making the Tennessee blog rounds that voters are getting mailers and phone calls saying things like "only property owners are allowed to vote," "if you voted in the primary you don't need to vote again because your vote will carry over," and "if you have any outstanding traffic tickets you can be arrested on the spot if you show up to vote." It's not clear who is behind this if it is even happening. But at this point nothing would come as a surprise.
This is as nasty a campaign as we can remember in recent Tennessee history and we still have a week to go. Everyone agrees it has no place in politics but nobody seems to know what to do about it. McCain-Feingold does not seem to have made things much better, and with all the exceptions, exclusions, and loopholes may have even made things worse. The real concern is that voters will be turned off by all of this and stay home. Regardless of which party you support and who wins or loses, that would be the worst outcome.

Saints report: Fix is in as junior guard helps St. Olaf hold off St. Scholastica in MIAC women's basketball
CSS men's hockey forced to postpone weekend games against UWS and Northland due to COVID-19 protocols.
CSS men's and women's basketball returned to action Wednesday, Jan. 12, while men's hockey was slated to play UWS and Northland but is off this weekend due to COVID-19 protocols.

The Chicago Bears offense must utilize the running game on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
Coming off their first victory of the 2018 season, the Chicago Bears should feel pretty good. Anytime a team is able to win a nationally televised game it boosts their confidence.
The Bears defense may have a different feeling than the offense, which has been far too inconsistent in two games this season. Second-year quarterback Mitch Trubisky looks raw, while rookie head coach Matt Nagy's abilities as a play caller are still developing.
While the Cardinals defense seems like an easy matchup on paper, the Bears offense needs to come out sharp on Sunday afternoon. Otherwise, this could be one of the biggest upsets in the NFL this week.
After losing the Honey Badger in safety Tyrann Mathieu, the Cardinals don't have much on defense in terms of impactful players. Cornerback Patrick Peterson is still an All-Pro, but he's not shadowing opposing team's No. 1 WRs as much. Peterson is also not going to be playing man as often as he once was.
Under new head coach Steve Wilks, that role will change. Instead of being used almost exclusively in press coverage on the team's top receiver, Wilks will move Peterson around, have him line up off the ball more and even have him rush the passer on blitzes.
At defensive end, Chandler Jones is still a beast, while Markus Golden has some potential as well. Safety Budda Baker is a work in progress and Deone Bucannon has proven to be an inconsistent player. He was benched after struggling in week one.
There's not much going on with this unit, which makes it vulnerable in multiple ways. More on that later.
Head coach Steve Wilks brought over a 4-3 defense with him from the Carolina Panthers. However, the Cardinals are rarely ever in a traditional 4-3 defense. Instead, they are more in a 4-2 nickel look.
After watching the film, it appears that five DBs are in on every play. Hence, the 4-2 nickel defense I spoke of above.
The Cardinals also like to disguise their blitzes. They also blitz fairly often given the lack of pure pass rushers on their roster. At times against the Los Angeles Rams, the Cardinals fooled third-year QB, Jared Goff. In fact, Goff should have thrown two interceptions in the game.
As expected, Peterson, the Cardinals best player on defense, is moved all over. He should still be on WR Allen Robinson a fair amount on Sunday. Robinson is coming off a game in which he was targeted 14 times. Of those 14 targets, Robinson caught 10 of them for 83 yards.
Opposing defenses will try to confuse Trubisky this year, especially a team like the Cardinals who lacks playmakers. Trubisky needs to make the right reads before and during the play to be successful on Sunday.
The Cardinals will mix things up. The Bears offensive line has been solid so far this year, so I could also see them blitzing even more than they have so far this year. Peterson roaming around should also make the Bears nervous as well.
If I'm Nagy, I avoid going after Peterson and take my chances elsewhere, which brings us to the next portion of this opposing team preview.
The Bears haven't run the ball enough this year. Nagy even admitted RB Jordan Howard has to get more touches for the team to be successful. Through two games, Howard has carried the ball 29 times.
The Rams stayed committed to the run game against the Cardinals and it allowed them to attack the hole of any 4-3 defense – the middle of the field. Sean McVay was still running the ball in the second quarter after finishing with -1 rushing yards in the first.
It opened up the middle of the field. Specifically, the play action crossing routes. Staying committed to the running game will not only help open things up over the middle of the field but it will also allow Trubisky to be in positive passing situations.
Running Taylor Gabriel out of the backfield on Monday night is also something that could be used to attack the Cardinals defense. The Rams had similar success against the Cardinals when handing the ball off to their wideouts.

I have a dilemma I'd like people to give me feedback on. Feel free to post whatever your thoughts are.
We get lots of emails on a weekly basis (sometimes over 20 a week) from people asking a lot of the same questions:
-- When is The Partridge Family Season 3 coming to DVD?
-- When is Bulletin Board coming to CD?
-- What happened to the VH-1 series?
-- I can't log onto the Message Board -- What happened?
-- Do you have David Cassidy's email address because I want to write him?
-- Where can I contact a songwriter?
-- What happened to the bus?
To be honest, we simply do not have the time to answer them all, so rather than ignore them, I created an automated response that gave detailed answers to these and other questions. It referred people to the FAQ page as well as our NEWS section. This is what it says:
Dear Partridge Family Fan,
Thanks so much for your email. If you are receiving this automated response, it is for one of the following reasons:
1. Your question has been asked and answered on our FAQ page ( http://www.cmongethappy.com/faq.html );
-- We apologize, but we simply do not have the time or resources to answer questions that are easily available on the website.
2. You are asking about future season releases of The Partridge Family on DVD. (This information is also available on the FAQ page at http://www.cmongethappy.com/faq.html ) ;
-- This is our most asked question, and one that we have also answered on the website

Scott, I think you've covered all the bases on this one.
I don't think an automated response is rude. People may think you are rude if you ignore them, but people will still get a response (even if it's an automated one).
As far as a lot of the other questions, I get the feeling that some people never read the FAQ page.
It's been a long time since I registered, But is there something in the registration that directs people to the FAQ page?
Just because you don't give out personal information doesn't mean you are rude, you just respect their privacy.
Hope I've helped

Keith...er...I mean Scott ,
I think the automated email is perfect. It is comprehensive and very clear. If someone replies with an email such as the one you copied and pasted, I would ignore that, but I would definitely send out the automated response initially. It will hopefully help some people, and others...well...I think they just can't be helped.
Mayor of San Pueblo
Automated responses are the standard way of handling situations like the one you're in. You did nothing wrong. The world is full of fruitcakes. We regularly receive tomes written in crabbed handwriting detailing crazy thoughts on the state of the world, followed by angry letters from the author who is mad that we didn't hire them to be pundits. We also receive portraits of our on-air folks rendered in things like macaroni, followed by abusive emails from the "artist" who is angry that the item wasn't forwarded to the subject and/or praised by us. (Why do people think a celebrity wants a portrait of him/herself created by a fan? I do not understand this.) In short, people are odd. Ignore them.
To maximize the effectiveness of your auto response, you might want to consider shortening each point and removing the emotion. Just give 'em the facts. Make it light so people don't feel guilty about asking the question.
And more importantly, do I REALLY think I am Keith Partridge??
Hmmm...perhaps that explains the feathered hair..

Scott, I totally agree with what Bonnie said. I don't think it is rude to send an automated response at all. What I do think is rude is for people to keep sending you emails with these same questions when you and Michael have asked repeatedly not to. I think some people are just too lazy to read the board and other parts of the site to see if there is an answer to their question before emailing you. Scott I applaud you for your patience in dealing with these people both in private email and on the board. If I were in your place I think I would have used a few expletive deletives by now.
Perhaps there could be a "contact us" page(primarily for first time visitors who don't already know your email address) where you could include the topics/questions you won't respond to.
I have to admit that the severity of his response took me by surprise. I didn't think there was anything in my response to warrant that kind of an attack. I have never heard of him before, nor is he registered on the Bulletin Board. He sent THREE emails over the course of two weeks. One was to express his disappointment that the website hadn't been updated in a while, wondering if we were going under. He also asked for personal contact information on Adam Miller (songwriter) and for information on the release of Seasons Three and Four on DVD. (He had emailed Sony a few times and they weren't responding either.) Another email asked why I wasn't responding to his first email. After all, he had cleared my email address so any emails from me would be accepted into his personal AOL account. He also made it clear he had no desire to register for a Bulletin Board to get any information.
Oh well. Thanks for the input so far. I admit to being a bit apathetic lately regarding website updates, but when I get emails like this one, it doesn't help me get motivated.

A few comments and then I'll answer your questions. I somehow find it amusing when someone thinks that the site is "going under" because some time has passed between updates. While a dynamic site is always a plus, we're not talking about a dynamic show here. It's been off the air for over 30 years. (Who said that?!) The site is pretty compete, and I'm proud of the content. Pretty much anything you need to know about the show is already here. There's a lot of extra stuff too, like the interviews that add so much, and were never originally planned. Thanks to Scott, they happened.
The only big news we'll have are the remaining DVDs and CDs. And as Scott said, that question comes up regularly. If I was feeling snarky, I would really want to ask people who email that question if they honestly believe we are holding back info and they are going to be THE lucky person to find out that a new DVD or CD is on the way.
I feel better. LOL! Now to Scott's questions:
What are we supposed to do? Exactly what you did. You did just fine.
Is it better to ignore these emails rather than send an automated response? On the rude scale, I'd say ignoring is worse.
Was an automated response rude? No it wasn't. It answered the questions. Just read PJs suggestion, and once the letter has been "on ice" a while, look it over and see if you want to make it more "sterile." Just the facts, but still friendly.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with these same questions we get over and over? I'd say your emai, the FAQ, etc cover all the bases. You're doing things just right.
And more importantly, do I REALLY think I am Keith Partridge?? Nah. You think you're Joe Hardy.

Looks good to me, Scott, and I applaud your coming up with and executing a pretty darn good solution to the ongoing problem. Like you, real life changes for me have caused me to have less time to spend on the site and the board, but as Jen stated - there's not much left to do with it other than wait for new releases and annoucemnents.
(as a side note... this May marks the site's 10th anniversary - yowza!)
I truly don't think anything more can be done.

Scott, based on my limited experience with you I would say you are someone who is generous, helpful and fair...but never rude. I agree with the previous posters. An automated response is acceptable in this situation but a personal response is preferred when time allows of course.

They ran away to Europe to avoid the publicity....
I thought that too. It seemed too severe a reaction. Almost like there was already a pre-conceived opinion of me from the get-go. My wittlle fewwings are more hurted now.

Me too. I don't think his response was something that a newbie, who had never visited the site or the board, would come up with based only on the email in question.
Plus-dragging David Cassidy into it. He has nothing to do with the site-but we know full well there are people with a rather virulent anti-DC agenda too.

You, and everyone else associated with this website, have been doing a wonderful job with everything. I really appreciate all the hard work that you put into your "hobby"! I guess for some people it is a way of life...lol
Please don't let one email get to you....YOU ROCK!

Green Electricity Use - Facilities Management News
Pennsylvania Becomes Leader in
Green Electricity Use
Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell announced the commonwealth has doubled its green electricity purchase to 20 percent from 10 percent. The enhanced purchase makes Pennsylvania the largest state purchaser of green electricity and ranks Pennsylvania number 12 on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Top 25 Green Power Partners list.
Through modifying its existing contract with Community Energy Inc., the commonwealth will purchase 200,000 megawatt hours a year, or 20 percent of state government's electricity, from renewable sources such as wind and hydroelectric energy, all at a premium rate of only 0.34 cents per kilowatt hour, according to PRNewswire.
The contract calls for electricity that is generated 40 percent from wind power and 60 percent from hydroelectric sources. Both produce electricity with zero emissions. The 200,000 megawatt hours of renewable energy represent avoided emissions of 951 tons of sulfur dioxide, 271 tons of nitrogen oxide and 123,410 tons of carbon dioxide.
Shortly after taking office in 2003, the Rendell administration doubled the state's commitment to its Green Power program, requiring state facilities to meet 10 percent of their energy needs through renewable energy sources. The Governor has launched other major initiatives to build a clean, indigenous, diversified energy industry in the state, including the Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard and PennSecurity Fuels Initiative.
Pennsylvania is among the national leaders in energy efficiency with more than three dozen buildings certified by the U.S. Green Building Council under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. Eight of the certified buildings are state facilities. Another 129 Pennsylvania buildings are registered for LEED certification.

Muskogee Resident Convicted Of Killing Twin Brother | USAO-EDOK
MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA – The United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Oklahoma, announced today that Kyle Joseph Vannortwick, age 36, of Muskogee, Oklahoma was found guilty by a federal jury of Murder –Second Degree in Indian Country, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1111(a), 1151 and 1153. The jury trial began with testimony on Monday, August 16, 2021 and concluded on Tuesday, September 7, 2021 with the guilty verdict. The defendant faces up to life imprisonment for the crime the jury found he committed.
During the trial, the United States presented evidence that on February 18, 2018, the defendant assaulted his brother, Adam Vannortwick, in their home. During the assault, the defendant stabbed the victim three times with a BBQ Knife; once in the head, once in the neck and once in the chest. As a result of the stab wounds, the victim lost a substantial amount of blood prior to medical treatment and ultimately succumbed to those injuries. The defendant was apprehended at the scene of the incident. The defendant claimed the death was accidental. At trial, the defendant testified his brother attacked him and he pushed him away causing the brother to fall on a kitchen table where the BBQ knife was laying. In closing argument, the defense contended the three stab wounds must have occurred when the victim landed on the table. Conversely, the United States argued the defense theory was impossible and the evidence demonstrated the defendant stabbed his twin brother three separate times causing his death.
The case was originally set to be tried in the District Court of Muskogee County, Oklahoma where the murder took place. However, after the United States Supreme Court determined the Muscogee (Creek) Reservation had never been disestablished by Congress, the case had to be dismissed in state court and refiled in federal court because the murder happened in Muskogee County, within the boundaries of Muscogee (Creek) Nation Reservation and the defendant was a member of a federally recognized Indian Tribe.
The guilty verdict was the result of an investigation by the Muskogee Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The Honorable Ronald A. White, Chief U.S. District Judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma in Muskogee, presided over the trial and ordered the completion of a presentence report. Sentencing will be scheduled following completion of the report. Vannortwick was remanded to the custody of the United States Marshal pending imposition of sentencing.

National Survey on Training in Pediatric Cardiology by the "Junges Forum" of the DGPK
Thorac cardiovasc Surg
Background This is the first national survey of residents and fellows in pediatric cardiology in Germany evaluating training, research activity, and the general working environment. Methods An online questionnaire including 62 questions (SurveyMonkey) was developed by the "Junges Forum" of the German Society of Pediatric Cardiology. Fellows and residents during training and up to 3 years after completing their pediatric cardiology fellowship were invited to participate. Results A total of 102 pediatric cardiology fellows and residents completed the questionnaire. Many participants complained about their training as being unstructured (47%) and non-transparent (37%). The numbers of technical and catheter interventions required by the national medical board in Germany cannot be achieved, especially regarding invasive procedures. Sixty per cent work more than contractually agreed, usually in Germany it is 40 hours daytime work plus on calls, while 90% of all participants prefer less than 50 weekly working hours; 50% of the participants are engaged in research that is usually done during their spare time. More than 90% are satisfied with their professional relationships with colleagues and coworkers. Seventy-eight per cent describe their career perspectives as promising, and 84% would start a fellowship in pediatric cardiology again. Conclusion The majority of pediatric cardiology fellows and residents are satisfied with their working environment and with their choice of a career in pediatric cardiology. Besides the heavy work load, we identified the urgent desire for better structured transparent clinical training concept including the teaching of manual skills, i.e., invasive procedures and catheterization.
Evaluation of a biocompatible sealant for on-demand repair of vascular defects—a chronic study in a large animal model
Wussler
Naumann
OBJECTIVES Existing surgical sealants fail to combine design requirements, such as sealing performance, on-demand activation and biocompatibility. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of the SETALIUM™ Vascular Sealant (SVS), a novel, on-demand activatable sealant, with the commercial sealant, BioGlue®, for the repair of vascular defects. METHODS In an in vivo porcine model, the use of SVS was compared with BioGlue, for sealing 2-mm defects of the carotid artery and jugular vein. Animals were followed for 7 days and 5 weeks (each time point and per experimental group, n = 4), respectively. The degree of stenosis and flow velocity was determined, and the local tissue response was evaluated. RESULTS In vivo incision closure succeeded in all cases, and SVS was superior in clinical usability, enabled by its on-demand activation. Unlike BioGlue, SVS use did not induce stenosis and was associated with physiological blood flow in all cases. Moreover, closure with SVS was associated with a low inflammatory reaction and no thrombus formation or intima proliferation, in contrast to BioGlue. CONCLUSIONS SVS demonstrated effective and rapid sealing of 2-mm vascular defects, with favourable biocompatibility compared to BioGlue. Thus, SVS seems to be an effective and safe vascular sealant.
Frequency of thyroid dysfunction in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease exposed to iodinated contrast media – a long-term observational study
BackgroundThe thyroid gland of patients with congenital heart disease may be exposed to large doses of iodine from various sources. We assessed the thyroid response after iodine exposure during conventional angiography in cardiac catheterization and angiographic computer tomography in childhood.MethodsRetrospective mid- to long-term follow-up of 104 individuals (24% neonates, 51% infants, 25% children) with a median age and body weight of 104 days [0–8 years] and 5.3 kg [1.6–20]. Serum levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, free triiodthyronine and free thyroxine were evaluated at baseline and after excess iodine. We also assessed risk factors that may affect thyroid dysfunction.ResultsBaseline thyroidal levels were within normal range in all patients. The mean cumulative iodinate contrast load was 6.6 ± 1.6 mL/kg. In fact, 75% had experienced more than one event involving iodine exposure, whose median frequency was three times per patient [1–12]. During the median three years follow-up period [0.5–10], the incidence of thyroid dysfunction was 15.4% (n=16). Those patients developed acquired hypothyroidism (transient n=14, long-lasting n=2 [both died]) with 10 of them requiring temporary replacement therapy for transient thyroid dysfunction, while four patients recovered spontaneously. 88 individuals (84.6%) remained euthyroid. Repeated cardiac interventions, use of drugs that interfere with the thyroid and treatment in the intensive care unit at the index date were strong predictors for acquired thyroid dysfunction.ConclusionsThe incidence of acquired hypothyroidism after iodine excess was 15.4%. However, most patients developed only transient hypothyroidism. Systemic iodine exposure seems to be clinically and metabolically well tolerated during long-term follow-up.
Collateral closure in congenital heart defects with Amplatzer vascular plugs: single-center experience and a simplified delivery technique for exceptional cases
Heart Vessels
The study describes our experience with Amplatzer Vascular Plugs (AVP2 and 4) and highlights a more refindes telescopic technique for AVP2 delivery. AVPs are well-established occlusion devices for vascular anomalies in congenital heart disease (CHD). The AVP2 is sometimes preferred to the AVP4 due to its shorter length, flat-profiled retention disks, and the availability of larger diameters, but its profile requires a larger inner lumen for safe delivery. The latter may actually hamper access to target lesions. This is a retrospective analysis of all CHD patients treated with the AVP2 and AVP4 between 12/2012 and 12/2015. Target vessels were characterized, measured, and the device-to-vessel diameter ratio calculated. A modified pigtail technique for AVP2 delivery was frequently used: a floppy wire was simply reinforced by the curved tip of a pigtail catheter (instead of the long sheath's dilator) to guide the required delivery sheath towards the desired landing zone. 59 patients with a median age and bodyweight of 3.0 years (range 0.1-75) and 13.8 kg (range 2.5-80) underwent the implantation of 106 plug-devices (30 AVP2, 76 AVP4) in 91 target vessels. Indications for their use were ductus arteriosus (19%), aortopulmonary (43%) as well as venovenous collaterals (34%) and other miscellaneous lesions (4%). The pigtail-supported AVP2 delivery in six patients proved very convenient. No complications occurred. AVPs are excellent devices for embolizing shunt vessels in CHD patients. Here, we describe a simplified telescoping technique for AVP2 delivery to enter curvy target lesions gently and efficiently.

Golden Globes 2016: after parties – in pictures
"I'm having fun," a beaming Mark Ruffalo gushed to the Guardian at Bafta's annual awards season tea party in Los Angeles on Saturday. "I'm getting old enough to know that this isn't going to keep happening."
The actor had been Bafta-nominated on Thursday for his supporting performance in Spotlight, and was set to attend the Golden Globes the following night, where he was nominated for lead actor in Infinity Polar Bear. He lost on Sunday in his category to Matt Damon for The Martian. But on Saturday, Ruffalo was all smiles entertaining Bafta members with stories of making Spotlight, joined by his director Tom McCarthy, who also appeared visibly buoyant.

Remarkably, neither showed any signs of fatigue at this stage in awards season, despite having been on the campaign trail for the potential Oscar contender since the film's premiere at the Venice film festival in late August.
McCarthy credited a brief break over the holidays for helping him cope, plus the fact that he's overjoyed by the positive feedback his film has received over the past several months. "I'm just happy it did well," he said.
That's a sentiment no doubt echoed by his many peers, who are receiving similar attention this season.
The smiles at the many awards-themed parties over the weekend in Los Angeles that led up to the Golden Globes appeared authentic, the hurried interactions sincere.
When Room star Brie Larson embraced her biggest competition on this year's circuit, Brooklyn's Saoirse Ronan, in front of Bafta members at Saturday's event, it didn't seem like a stunt – they both looked genuinely grateful to be sharing this moment together.

Also basking in the spotlight at the posh function was The Diary of a Teenage Girl breakout Bel Powley, who surprised at the first major awards show of the season, the Gotham Awards, by winning best actress over the likes of Cate Blanchett and Lily Tomlin. "I want you to meet my new favorite actor," gushed a fan in introducing the actor to her friend. Powley appeared overjoyed by the attention.
Golden Globes 2016: DiCaprio, Lawrence, The Martian and The Revenant win top awards – as it happened
Elsewhere at the event, Leonardo DiCaprio proved to be the biggest draw by causing frenzied commotion as soon as he entered the ballroom. Ever the pro, the actor took it in his stride, engaging enthusiastically with the crowd, and posing for photographs. As expected, DiCaprio collected a Golden Globe for his performance in The Revenant the following night.
On Sunday, immediately after the awards ceremony, chatter about the delayed shuttles to the many after-parties that filled the Beverly Hilton's parking lots and sprawling interiors, for people who had watched the show offsite, overshadowed any talk of the night's winners, or host Ricky Gervais's performance. Sarah Jessica Parker and Matt Bomer were rumored to be among the partygoers spotted waiting in hour-long lines to board rides.
Warner Bros and InStyle collaborated for a hot ticket shindig, Netflix and the Weinstein Company paired for another; Amazon, HBO and Fox all hosted their own events.
At the Netflix and Weinstein function, the Guardian spotted cast members from Orange is the New Black taking selfies, Jennifer Jason Leigh huddling in to talk to her Hateful Eight director Quentin Tarantino, and American Horror Story: Hotel's Angela Bassett dancing like no one was watching to Chaka Khan's Ain't Nobody.

Various 'Lost Highways' – American Road Songs from the 1920's – 1950's – CD/DL054
Released: 27th July 2009, CD and Download
The Mythology that has built up around America's epic road system is as broad as the continent itself. Until recently it was the only way for normal folk to travel, passing through small towns, past farmsteads, gas stations, staying in cheap motels and watching the vast landscape through the windshield. It's the world of Jack Kerouac's On the Road and the place where the 'Road Movie' and the 'Road Song' were invented! The U.S. route map penetrates the American song book to the core- Musicians touring by bus or car on the way to their next show ate up the road influencing their lives and material whether it be Country, Blues, Gospel, Soul or Rock n Roll.The road too is often used as a metaphor for life's rich journey, death or straying from the good Christian path. This is a unique album that's been created over many miles and one you should maybe listen to whilst taking a 'road trip' all of your own, preferably under wide open skies – or just listen at home and let the songs fuel and colour your own imaginary journey!
