MSP AIRPORT - APRON - DAY A long row of airplane tails show off their livery as planes pull up and back out of their snow-covered gates. EXT. MSP RUNWAY - DAY 737 tires smoke at touchdown on the runway numbers. EXT. MSP RUNWAY - DAY A 757 lifts off as planes taxi across the runway behind it. EXT. MSP TAXIWAY - DAY Jumbo and regional jets are lined up fifteen deep waiting for the runway as snow falls. INT. MSP AIRPORT CONCOURSE - DAY Rivers of people course through the terminal. INT. MSP AIRPORT CONCOURSE - DAY The departure board clicks all the way down from DELAYED to CANCELED. INT. MSP AIRPORT GATE - EVENING A few people sit at a closed gate looking at their phones, bored. One person nods off sitting up. INT. MSP AIRPORT GATE - EVENING A woman sleeps on the floor up against a wall. She’s on her side; neck pillow on, sleep mask on, in front of her suitcase. INT. MSP AIRPORT GATE - NIGHT A lonely, cookie-cutter business man sits on his suitcase and eats a salad as he watches people pass by. 2. INT. A320 - V1 AIRLINES - ON THE GROUND - DAY It’s freezing on the plane. It’s freezing everywhere; Minneapolis in winter. Everyone on board is STUFFED into their seats with their heavy, winter coats on. MSP FLIGHT ATTENDANT (O.S.) Ladies and gentlemen, due to overbooking we are asking for volunteers to deplane to accommodate other travelers-- Everyone is miserable except for one guy. EL (early 40s), everything he owns is from Brookstone and Brooks Brothers: polo shirts, pleated slacks and frosted tips. He’s viciously charming and charitably handsome. El has the aisle, chewing the ear off of the middle seat rube next to him. EL I’m telling you you’re gonna love it. You’re right there on the lake, they have snow sculpting, parties, ice fishing, tons of food, everyone’s having a great time. I go every year. MIDDLE SEAT GUY Winterfest, huh? EL Lake Geneva. It runs late January to early February. When you get to Detroit, V1 runs a small body into Milwaukee and you’re just a short drive down from there. MSP FLIGHT ATTENDANT (O.S.) Ladies and gentlemen, we really do need those seats, so anyone willing to deplane will be compensated two-hundred dollars at this time. EL Now if you can’t make it to Wisconsin, you ought to come back to Minneapolis for Grillfest. You look like you know your way around a brisket and a beer. I know I do. El pats both of their bellies. 3. EL Now that’s in May, so unfortunately things will be thawed out by then. But if you want to follow the snow-- MSP FLIGHT ATTENDANT (O.S.) Folks, we really do need those extra seats, so we are currently offering four-hundred dollars to take a later flight. El pops up out of his seat, grabs his aluminum roller case and backpack from the overhead bin. EL That’s my cue. Gotta go. MIDDLE SEAT GUY Wait, you’re not going to Detroit? EL I was never going to Detroit. Take it easy, big guy. El minces up the aisle to the flight attendant in the galley. EL Hey, I’m Elias, El, in 13C. If I take two-fifty and bump to the six A.M. flight tomorrow morning, can you hook me up with a hotel? The relieved and thankful flight attendant smiles at him. MSP FLIGHT ATTENDANT If I can bump you till tomorrow, you can have whatever you want. EL Deal. CUT TO: INT. MSP AIRPORT TERMINAL - O'DOYLE'S - MINUTES LATER EL scurries down the concourse to the bar with his luggage. The BARTENDER (30s) and several BAR PATRONS are watching him wide- eyed. EL (to the bartender) Time? Time? 4. MSP BARTENDER Three minutes. El hops onto a barstool laying out vouchers, all smiles. EL Two-fifty, plus hotel, plus upgrade in forty-two minutes. Pay up. The bartender and shocked barflies cough up their cash. INT. GRB AIRPORT TERMINAL - O’DONNEL’S - DAY - CONTINUOUS Every airport bar from now on looks IDENTICAL except for the name. El runs the same set up, same game. EL Pay up. DET AIRPORT TERMINAL - O’FINLEY’S - DAY EL Pay up. DEN AIRPORT TERMINAL - O’HANLEY’S - DAY EL Cash or traveler’s check, please. INT. CLE AIRPORT TERMINAL - O’RYAN’S - DAY People at the bar are incredulous at El’s stunt. One guy is not thrilled about giving up his twenty bucks. NOT THRILLED GUY Now what in the hell is that? EL It’s my job. NOT THRILLED GUY Bullshit. EL Hey, I could work in a cubicle but then I’d have to sit on your lap. So I chose this instead. Twenty dollars, sir. 5. INT. GRB AIRPORT TERMINAL - O’DONNEL’S - DAY El and a cute-ish lady his age are leaned into each other at the nearly empty bar. Their flirt games are strong. EL Can I get you another drink? LADY Oh, I don’t know. EL You’re not the pilot, are you? She smiles and takes a sip of his drink. They’re practically on top of each other. It’s horrendous. EL What time’s your flight? LADY Nine-thirty. EL That’s plenty of time. Either one of them is about to pounce. He takes his drink out of her hand and finishes it, all sexy. CUT TO: INT. GRB TERMINAL CONCOURSE - MENS ROOM ENTRANCE - MOMENTS LATER The men’s room entrance has two suitcases parked next to it. People scoot passed, trying to act like the ECHOING SOUNDS of aggressive, morning sex aren’t booming from a stall inside. The dirty talk is unconventional at best. A WOMAN tries to haul her luggage and cover her SON’S ears at the same time as they walk by. GATE ATTENDANT (O.S.) Flight 818 to Atlanta, group five is now welcome to board. EL (O.S.) That’s you. Gotta finish. The moaning resumes with great fervor. 6. INT. MSP BOARDING GATE - DAY El sits in a seat with a brand new TABLET on his lap, typing away. He’s in the zone with his wireless earbuds in. Across the top of the screen it says “USA TODAY SUBMISSIONS”. The drop down boxes for CURRENT EVENTS and AVIATION are chosen. He looks up for just long enough to see his gate go from “V1 to ORD ON TIME” to “CANCELED”. EL There it is. El puts the finishing touches on his article and clicks SUBMIT. He cranes his neck and rubs the back of his head. After a few moments of working out his neck he becomes annoyed by the pain. He grabs a couple aspirin out of his bag and gets them down. After getting his backpack and roller case together, he looks up to see a crowd swarming his gate counter. VOICES are getting LOUD already. He heads over to the-- GATE COUNTER SHONDA (30s) is behind the counter trying to control the crowd. Saying they can’t control the weather is all she’s got left. El rounds the side, clearing the first couple people away and hops his butt up on the counter. Smiling, arms waving, he whistles real quick to get everyone quiet. EL Everyone, everyone. Hi, my name’s Elias. You can call me El. I’m on the same canceled flight as you. I do this run about three times a month and it’s canceled about one- hundred percent of the time. Minneapolis to Chicago, go figure. Anyways, this is Shonda. Say ‘Hi, Shonda’. No one does. 7. EL Okay, so Shonda and I have this down to a science. If you would like for Shonda to help you get rebooked for a later flight, please make a nice line, let’s use inside voices and she will be happy to accommodate you as best she can. If you don’t want to wait in this line, you can go to the ticket booth at the end of the terminal. If you want to try Southwest, they have the same flight in an hour. I don’t know if it’s cancelled yet but they’re in terminal two so you’re gonna have to move. To everyone else not sure what your next move is, I’m headed to the bar, feel free to join me for a beer. The crowd lines up or shuffles off. Crisis averted. El hops down from the counter and gives Shonda a wink. SHONDA Thanks, hon. EL Need anything else, my darling? SHONDA You single? EL Don’t toy with me, I’m an emotional man. SHONDA Go on then. INT. MSP TERMINAL - MOMENTS LATER El strolls down the hallway feeling good. He spots a facilities worker ahead of him, pushing a mop bucket walking his way. EL Jose! Hey, brother. He jumps up and hi-fives Jose without stopping. 8. INT. A320 - V1 AIR - ON THE GROUND - NIGHT Another frozen plane with frozen people headed to a frozen city. Everyone on board is seated. MSP FLIGHT ATTENDANT 2 (O.S.) --volunteers will be given three- hundred dollars to take a later flight. El is in the aisle seat as per usual. He’s talking to a woman in the middle seat who is all ears. EL This is where you got’em by the balls. We’re on the plane.

    To our Parents: Welcome to the Parkway family! You have made an important decision for your child's education and we are happy to be a part of that decision! Parkway Christian Academy was founded 45 years ago by members of Temple Baptist Church who were convinced of the need for a Bible-centered education. The school was founded on the principles of academic excellence, with a mature and disciple - oriented Christian faculty. The purpose of the school is to come alongside the church and assist young people to think and behave in a Christian manner. This approach dictates a high level of expectation in every area of the school's program. The school is very supportive of parents and realizes that in the area of character, they are the major influence. For the school to do its job well, we select families that have the same goals for their children as the school. In that way we can be mutually supportive and effective. We consider the supervision of your child and your involvement with the school as essential ingredients in his or her success. In order to help and guide your child, the school has set some specific expectations of its parent community. Listed below are some of the most important expectations: • That my child needs a biblically centered home. Deuteronomy 6:7 • That our family is to be consistent in our attendance and involvement with a Bible-preaching and teaching church. Hebrews 10:23-25 • That I am responsible for the education of my child. I will commit my child, including his education, to the Lord.

  • An Examination of Quality of Life in Women with Compulsive Hair Pulling a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Gradua
    AN EXAMINATION OF QUALITY OF LIFE IN WOMEN WITH COMPULSIVE HAIR PULLING A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF APPLIED AND PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOLOGY OF RUTGERS, THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY BY CHELSEA HETRICK HERSPERGER, PSY.M. IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PSYCHOLOGY NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY OCTOBER 2012 APPROVED: _________________________________________ Michael R. Petronko, Ph.D., ABPP _____________________________________________ Lori Rockmore, Psy.D. DEAN: ____________________________ Stanley B. Messer, Ph.D. Copyright 2012 Chelsea H. Hersperger ABSTRACT The present study explored how trichotillomania (TTM) impacts women’s lives in a systematic and detailed manner, by allowing participants to elaborate on the idiosyncratic ways in which hair pulling affects them across multiple domains. Fourteen adult women with a mean age of 22.9 (SD = 4.8) having met criteria for problematic hair pulling behaviors accompanied by subjective distress and/or impairment, completed an online series of self-report questionnaires measuring symptoms related to: quality of life (QOL), anxiety, depression and TTM. Eight of these women subsequently completed a follow-up telephone interview to gather qualitative information regarding the impact of hair pulling on their lives. Severity of symptoms on all measures did not significantly differ for women who completed the interviews compared to those who did not. Quantitative results indicated that TTM did not relate to anxiety, depression or QOL using typical self- report measures even though QOL did have an inverse relationship with anxiety and depression. Using grounded theory, six conceptual categories emerged from qualitative analysis of the data as related to women’s QOL: Shame and Secrecy, Appearance, Relationships and Trust, Perceived Benefits, and Acceptance.

Lawyer, Non-profit CFO, Event Planner, Model © 2010 Jonathan Brady Jonathan Brady California Institute of Integral Studies Daniel Deslauriers, Ph.D., Committee Chair THE IDEA OF POPULAR: A FLIRTATIOUSLY THEORETICAL TOUR OF BELONGING Abstract Formal studies of popularity, while attempting to understand and legitimize the existence of popularity as a social construct, simultaneously dismiss popularity as trivial and unimportant. This interdisciplinary study on popularity recognizes this dismissal and articulates various ideas of popularity, in particular how the idea of popular affects interpersonal, communal and political relationships. Popularity, therefore, is an intrinsic aspect of how humanity is collectively bound together. In applying a broad perspective, this study engages in a grand tour of theories. In order to enrich the academic and non-academic discourse on the ideas of how we are with others, this study explores the significance of this notion of popularity and the impact of technology on our capacity to be with others.
