Schizophrenia seems to be a hot topic in American television these days, and although the disorder is no laughing matter, some of the networks have struck gold by creating characters who possess multiple alter egos.

Take the popular Sci-Fi show, Battlestar Galactica, for one. The show features a character named Sharon Valerii, played by Korean actress, Grace Park. Lieutenant Junior Grade Sharon is not just a beautiful and schizophrenic Cylon, but a beautiful and schizophrenic robot Cylon at that. As if it weren’t hard enough to pull off a character with layers of other characters within her, Park must also be able to engage in the ever-changing emotional state of a schizophrenic individual, while, of course, keeping in mind that the character is a machine. How does she do it?

Maybe it helps that Park holds a degree in psychology from the University of British Columbia. Perhaps Park’s educational background somehow allows her to convincingly manifest Sharon’s complex alter egos who, by the way, go by the names of Boomer and Athena. All three personalities display different strengths and weaknesses, with Athena being the most physically active, Sharon being the most emotionally torn, and Boomer being the most defiant and enraged.

It must be so exhausting to have to bring to life such multifaceted characters in Battlestar Galactica, but Park claims to experience a sense of release, especially when she is doing scenes as Athena. Park says that a character like Athena, who spends most of her time on her feet dodging enemies and having little energy to deal with her feelings, gives Park the opportunity to breathe and take a break from riding the giant emotional rollercoaster she calls her life.

Once again, the world of the fantastic provides a temporary window of stability, even if it is just through a schizophrenic robot from the future on a sci-fi television series called Battlestar Galactica. But while the chance to portray a unique character proves cathartic for Park, the viewing public has certainly seen it as a tremendous source of entertainment, hence the continuing success of the show.

Survivor - The Cult of Yau-Man

One man that stands out on Survivor: Fiji is Yau-Man Chan. Obviously, he has distinct features, having Asian attributes, not to mention his flimsy physique. But perhaps, he is exceptional because underneath his meek appearance is a powerhouse of wit and acumen, which can possibly come with age.

Although his inclusion on the show has not sparked immense hype, his existence on the program has prompted viewers to become aware of his unique traits. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he had his own following, Survivor or no Survivor.

Chan is a 54-year old native of Borneo. He studied at All Saints Secondary School in Kota Kinabalu and immigrated to the United States to study at Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he acquired his Bachelor of Science degree. In addition, he pursued his Masters at the University of California in Santa Barbara. Intellectual and highly proficient, he became the Director of Information Systems for the College of Chemistry at the University of California in Berkley. His position spans managing business database systems, research, setting up networks, and designing electronic circuits among others. This versatile man has also worked as a housepainter, cook and dishwasher. Apart from his occupation, he spends his time woodworking, reading and playing table tennis. In fact, he is a member of the USA Table Tennis Association. Given his extensive educational background and his numerous accomplishments in life, it is suffice to say that he is indeed multitalented.

Wise and sensible, he consistently exudes prudence and good leadership on the show Survivor with his determination to make the most out of every situation notwithstanding the risks on his fragile body. His presence on the show is very consuming in a non-pompous kind of way. With his good-natured persona, as well as his survival skills, he is certainly capable of winning the competition.

Taking your child to the emergency room can be a scary and stressful thing for both you and them. There are a number of things that you can do to help make your trip to the emergency less scary for your child and to help the experience go as smoothly as possible as well. The first thing that you need to keep in mind is that the emergency room will take the most severe or emergency cases first. Please be patient as you would appreciate this if you were in the shoes of the person having the most severe emergency or trauma situation.

If you have time, gather a few activities for your child to distract them and keep them occupied. Good things to bring include books, activity books or crayons and paper. I realize that in some emergency situations, there is no time. However, if you could at least grab your child’s favorite toy, stuffed animal or blanket, the familiarity of this loved object will help bring them comfort.

The emergency room will want to have information about a variety of things so that they can give your child the best medical care. If you know your child is allergic to medicine or a certain type of food or if they are taking a particular medication, let the doctor or nurse know as this little bit of information could significantly impact the course of treatment. They will also want information about what happened, how it happened, when it happened and other similar bits of information. If there is a timeline involved, such as the pain started this morning at 8:00 am and by 1:00 pm it became unbearable, be prepared to relay this to the hospital. Make sure you have your insurance card and information with you as well as your identification.

Keeping in mind that emergency rooms can be busy, be prepared to wait and don’t give up and leave. If you are having a true emergency, it would be best to have the situation turn worse when you are at the hospital than when you are in your car or back at your house. In the end, making sure that your child is getting the care he or she needs is worth the wait, no matter how long it may be. Hopefully these tips will help your visit to the emergency room be less stressful and scary for both you and your child.

Exclusive Interview With Wade Williams of Prison Break

Like other antagonists on television, Wade Williams has greatly established himself as a convincingly wicked villain as Captain Brad Bellick. Recently, he gave BuddyTV a taste of his penitentiary experience with his inclusion on the popular show Prison Break.

Williams, a 45-year old actor, was initially set to study medicine at the University of Tulsa. Eventually, his interest in drama and music prompted him to make a career switch. As an actor, he began his career in theater at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park in The Taming of the Shrew. Later, he landed television and movie roles. His credits included Jarhead, Erin Brockovich, 24, CSI, The Bernie Mac Show, Over There and Six Feet Under to name a few.

Initially, Williams was a little hesitant to audition for Captain Brad Bellick, fearing his daughter might perceive him as such a bad character.

But with a lot of encouragement from his manager, he went through with it and luckily got the part.

Although he persuasively plays the part, his depiction of the nasty correctional officer entailed a lot of preparation. He went through a lot of research; spoke with prison guards at Stateville Prison, as well as other high-ranking officers on the penitentiary.

And as much as he loves being a regular on television show due to the stable pay, not to mention the solid interaction of the characters over a period of time and the camaraderie of the male dominated cast, the actor admits that he still takes pleasure in the thrill of performing in front of an audience.

As for the upcoming third season on Prison Break, he enthusiastically hopes to be a part of the heart-pounding series. To catch a glimpse of Wade Williams’ wicked antics, watch Prison Break, which airs Mondays at 8:00 PM on Fox.

After a string of victories coming from the United States, as well as other countries in the west like Brazil and Canada, the eastern fighters of UFC are now attempting to bounce back from their defeat. Among the eastern players, the Japanese fighters have captured the attention of UFC thirsty aficionados with their equally topnotch fighting expertise.

UFC or Ultimate Fighting Championship is a United States-based mixed martial arts organization. It showcases numerous tournaments exhibiting various fighters from different countries, having different fighting techniques. And despite having a few rules, the UFC tournaments are popularly known for being a “no holds barred” fighting competition, entailing a lot of violence and brutality.

The upcoming UFC Fight Night 9, which is scheduled to commence on April 5 at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, will feature previous Japanese fighters who have not been triumphant in their initial participation with UFC. Among the Japanese participants are Keita Nakamura, who is bound to fight Drew Ficket in the welterweight bout, Naoyuki Kotani, who is up against Thiago Tavares in the lightweight bout, Kuniyoshi Hironaka, who is scheduled to combat Forrest Petz in the welterweight bout, and Dokonjonosuke Mishima who is up against Kenny Florian in the lightweight bout as the main event. Another main event will showcase Joe Stevenson vs. Melvin Guillard, which is also in the lightweight bout. The much-awaited competition will be broadcast live on Spike TV.

UFC Fight Night 9 is indeed about second chances. With the inclusion of the hefty fighters from Japan, it will certainly make the competition more interesting. For Kotani, this is another opportunity to redeem himself from his unsuccessful debut in UFC. But being a much-admired veteran with fierce fighting skills, a lot of fans are rooting for his comeback, as well as the rest of the Japanese fighters.

Last week, fashion designer Anand Jon was charged with six felonies by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office. He faces complaints regarding vulgar acts on a minor and rape of multiple victims he allegedly committed between October 2004 and March 5, 2007.

Jon, a 33-year old Indian-born fashion designer, has made numerous appearances on the reality show America’s Next Top Model. Known for embracing modern technology in his designs, he has uniquely established himself as a much-admired designer to a number of celebrities and infamous icons like Paris Hilton, Princess Olivia de Burbon, Gloria Estefan, Alanis Morissette, Janet Jackson, Mary J Blige, Michelle Rodriguez, Tara Reid and The Al Saud Royal Family just to name a few.

His frequent participation on the show America’s Next Top Model has added positive exposure to the well-established designer. However with the charges he is currently faced with, no amount of America’s Next Top Model publicity can absolve him from the noise surrounding his accusations. If proven guilty, Jon could be convicted for life. His bail has been fixed at $1.3 million.

In addition, sexual charges are not the only buzzing news following fashion designer. Apparently, his eligibility to work in the United States is also in question. Even though his lawyer maintains that he came to the US with a professional work visa, people from Immigration have already included Jon in their watch list.

And despite the formal complaint against him, he remains firm with his denial, asserting his firm respect for women. In fact, his attorney explained that Jon is in a difficult position having been surrounded by numerous women who aspires to make it big in the industry. He also stresses the high probability of these women making “false allegations” against his client. His first court date is scheduled on April 4, 2007.

10 Ways To Rejuvenate Your Communication Game Plan

1. Use the elements of problem solving
- Research
- Planning
- Implementation
- Measurement/evaluation

Many people only do planning and implementation. Research before you get started improves action plans. Sometimes good research demonstrates there is no need for action. Measurement at the end tells you if the program worked. Often people keep doing programs that are ineffective, but they don’t realize it because they don’t measure results.

2. Know what is expected of you
- Department only?
- Communication plan for entire organization?
- All aspects of communication or just employee communication?

3. Use planning assumptions to help you get started
- Environmental scan:

- Social, Political, Technological, Financial factors that affect the organization or the problem
- SWOT analysis:

- Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats

4. Get focused

Make sure you have the same priorities as the organization leaders
- CEO areas of emphasis
- Goals of divisions, departments

5. Research, Research, Research

Gather input from:
- Key dates for the coming year for your organization
- Market information
- Competitive information
- Do not recreate the wheel - find out what others have done

6. Identify audiences very specifically

Then tailor action plan and messages to fit each audience

7. Create a planning template

Use a template that’s right for you and your organization. It should list: strategies, tactics, who’s responsible, time line, measurement, budget, and other items important for you to track.

8. Develop simple key messages

Your organization’s key messages must be:
- Few words
- Easily understood
- Easy to say

You will often find that a key message and one of your goals are the same. At Arizona State, a goal is: “Arizona State is indispensable to the community.” That also is one of the school’s key messages.

My overall mission is “Building trust by improving face-to-face communication.” That is my major business goal, the over-riding value, the major key message and it describes my business.

9. To build trust, include some face-to-face communication
- Putting things in print often does not get the expected results because it is one-way
- Emphasize two-way communication, not sending messages
- Use relationship building
- Create dialogue

10. Measure outcome, not output

Evaluate what you did:
- Did it change people’s minds or behaviors?
- Can you use it again?

What Happened to the Beauty?

What happened to the beauty?
Who radiated matchless purity?
Who glows brilliantly for all to see?
Who lights up the world for me?
Whose joy sets the captives free?
What happened to your integrity?

Your speech is going waywardly
Your attitude becoming unfriendly
As you oppose me your loving hubby
Who loves you fully unconditionally
Holds you dearly and most tenderly
Provides generously for you continually
Honored you greatly in holy matrimony
Helped you in your identity and destiny
He who endures you when you are grumpy
Encourages you onward to be all you can be.

What happened to the woman within?
The woman of great worth and quality?
The darling who delighted in peaceably?
Interacting gently and softly with me?
Where is the woman that first attracted me?
Told me things about herself I believed?
Was I subtly seduced, lied to, and deceived?
I don’t believe so, though we have gone far
Away from where we once were relationally
Dishonoring, diminishing, and speaking defiantly
Backslidden in heart, forgetful, and too familiar
Contemptuous, senseless, and sadly similar
To many damsels in distress trying to dress
Up in anger, pity, confusion, and sadness
I confess some ladies truly are in duress
Battered and torn with emotional stress
Bound in chains complex that often vex
Torment, irritate, aggravate, and insatiate
An unquenchable fury and lack of stability
Such are challenges that first arise inwardly
Followed by explosion and breakdown outwardly.

Therefore I question my and every lovely lady
What happened to push you over the edge?
Why is it you cannot practice self-control?
Why can’t you stand firm and be whole?
What happened to your ability to masterfully
Maneuver through life elegantly and skillfully?
This is the essence of womanhood and its good
By which it enhances, effects and civilizes the earth
Ladies get it together. Get back your self-worth.
Harness yourself within and prepare to give birth
To newness of life as you put an end to all the strife.

Requesting an online mortgage price quote is one of the simplest ways to compare different loan programs. However, before you submit a request with a mortgage broker or lender, it’s crucial that you know what information to look for on a price quote.

1. Mortgage Interest Rate

The interest is the rate charged to the borrower. Mortgage lenders and brokers offer a variety of products with different types of interest rates. For example, the price quote may include a quote for an adjustable rate mortgage, in which the rate changes periodically, or a quote for a fixed rate mortgage. If the rate is adjustable, the price quote may also include information such as the initial rate period and frequency of the adjustment period.

2. Mortgage Term

The term is the time used to determine the monthly mortgage payment. The average home loan term is 30 years. However, home buyers can select other alternatives such as a 15-year mortgage, 40-year mortgage, or a balloon mortgage. Unless a shorter term is requested by the borrower, lenders always calculate mortgage payments based on the standard 30-year term.

3. Pre-Payment Penalty

The majority of bad credit home loans include a pre-payment penalty, in which the borrower is charged a fine for paying off the mortgage early. The charge is typically 3% of the loan balance. After 3 - 5 years, mortgage lenders get rid of the pre-pay penalty, which allows the homeowner to sell or refinance the property without paying a fee.

4. Origination Fee

The origination fee is an upfront fee that lenders charge borrowers. Standard origination fees are 1% of the loan amount. For example, if the home price is $165,000, the mortgage lender should charge approximately $1,650 for the loan origination. If the lender or broker charges a higher percentage, confront the loan officer.
