With the release of two new Devo-themed books, Mark Mothersbaugh and Jerry Casale reflect on "Whip It," meeting Mick Jagger and more.

"I don't think Devo would have hatched in a major city," the group's Jerry Casale says, looking back on the art-rockers' early history in a excited tone. "We were surrounded by an anti-intellectual culture and antagonistic people in Ohio. By the time we came up on the radar of the tastemakers, our aesthetic was fully formed."
"I look at early pictures of us now and think, 'I can see why people could be really attracted to Devo,'" says Mark Mothersbaugh, who sounds somewhat more reserved. "I can also see why so many people were angry with us or frightened of us."
The musicians have been parsing their history lately because they recently created two new books that chronicle the collective's history through personal, archival photos and commentary from them and their bandmates. One, Unmasked, focuses on how the group unwittingly became hitmakers surrounded by the likes of David Bowie, Brian Eno, the Rolling Stones, Neil Young and Johnny Rotten, among others, while touting their quack theory of "devolution" and dressing up in masks and outlandish outfits.

The other, The Brand, zooms in on all the memorabilia and propaganda surrounding Devo — press clippings (including a fascinating interview they did with William S. Burroughs), images of their art-deco "energy dome" hats, pictures of their many masks (like the "Booji Boy" character, which is pronounced "Boogie Boy" and looks like a man-baby), insights about their music videos and photos from their concert spectacles. The books come packaged opposite each other so each reads inward toward each other (the center spread says "You must flip it"). When taken in together they show how Devo created their own universe.
The band decided to assemble the books now while they still had their history at their fingertips. "As record companies closed down and people moved around from graphics shops, we'd see all of our assets floating all over the place," Mothersbaugh says. "It seemed like a good idea to go ahead and collect all of this stuff while we could."
"We've been presented a lot of book proposals, but they were silly and cheap, throwaway things," Casale says. "We felt Devo needed something more substantial, since there was some heft to the ideas and concepts behind Devo. And Devo was a multi-platform idea always. It wasn't just about style. It took a long time, but we're happy we persisted."
When the two musicians look through the tomes, they laugh at both the sheer silliness of it all and how much they had to struggle to get their ideas in front of people. To them, the books show how they stuck to their vision. "Because we never got to do the Devo movie or the Devo musical with all the character in the alternate world we created," Casale says, "this book reflects the body of work that we did get to do."
There's a picture in Unmasked of Jerry with a giant collection of masks. I imagine lots of people were staring at you in those.
Jerry Casale: [Laughs] Yeah, exactly. People either felt sorry for us or hated us or wanted to do us harm. Mark and I would go to these novelty shops and look for the creepiest masks we could find. We'd develop these alter-ego characters to amuse ourselves. We certainly couldn't participate in the prevailing social life — which was people getting drunk on cheap beer in bars and swallowing Quaaludes and complaining about their "straps," which were their girlfriends, not letting them do things. It was depressing and horrific to us. We felt like aliens.
There's a photo of Mark as Booji Boy from 1977 and it's horrific.
Casale: It's grotesque. An adult human baby? People were creeped out by it, no doubt about it, and that's what we were looking for.
Mark Mothersbaugh: I've gone through about 35, 40 of those. The original Booji Boy masks are all deteriorated, because they were made out of latex that was not meant to stand the test of time. I still have a number of them and they all look like something you'd see if you opened up a tomb in Egypt and took the wrapping off the mummy's face.
Mark, what did your folks think of Devo?
Mothersbaugh: There was a time when I left Kent State, and my dad goes, "You only have two classes to take and you'll get your degree." And I said, "Dad, I know what I'm doing with my life and I don't need a degree." It was at the very beginning of Devo, and it was my two brothers and Jerry and I and he goes, "Well, it's bad enough you're ruining your own life, but to take your brothers with you, that's unforgiveable." He was really pissed off. And then six or eight months later, we asked him if he would be General Boy and, oh, my God, he was a total closet artist waiting for a chance to be onstage. He loved being General Boy and getting fan mail and talking about his take on devolution, which was crazier than ours.
What was your version of devolution theory in a nutshell?
Casale: It was that we all devolved from a long line of cannibalistic apes. The unintended consequences of this cannibalism mutated them from primates to a hairless ape with a big brain and a big head that then developed a kind of consciousness and put them on a harmony with nature. And then they had to try to subjugate all of nature to justify their species. We thought, "You know what? That kind of explains everything." If you take that even as a joke and apply it to your local town and your high school, it makes as much sense as anything.
What do you remember about writing "Jocko Homo"?
Mothersbaugh: That was the theme song for Devo in a way — "Are we not men? We are Devo!" I loved old sci-fi movies, and it was influenced by one called Island of Lost Souls. It had a doctor operating on jungle animals in an attempt to evolve them, but it never quite worked. When the mutants got all confused and were not sure what to do, the doctor would stand up on a rock and crack a whip and go, "What is the law?" They'd go, "Not to walk on all fours. Are we not men?" And he'd crack the whip, "What is the law?" "Not to spill blood. Are we not men?" Between that and the Jocko Homo pamphlet that was written by Reverend Shadduck — he was a virulent opponent to evolution and Darwinism — it became a combination of those things. Also, it wasn't not noticed by us that "Jocko Homo" was Latin for "Monkey Man," which is a super great Rolling Stones song, too.
Your first hit was a cover of "Satisfaction."
Mothersbaugh: I feel like Mick Jagger is one of the underrated lyricists of his generation. "Satisfaction" has some of the best ever lyrics written for rock & roll. There are so many other great things about the Rolling Stones that perhaps people don't give him enough credit.
In the book, you had a great story about meeting Mick Jagger, and he listened to your "Satisfaction" and he said he loved it because his manager told him to say that. Did you ever run into him again?
Mothersbaugh: Oh, my God, yeah. About three years later, we were recording at the Power Station and they were remixing old songs downstairs. And this old guy with a big, fat sweater and gray hair came upstairs and said, "Would someone here play synthesizer on a song for my band?" And I look at him and it was Charlie Watts. So I went downstairs and there was more marijuana than I'd ever seen in my life. Everybody got super stoned. And there was a vocoder that we'd borrowed from Bob Moog to use on the album. I didn't have a microphone with a quarter-inch jack for it, so I got Mick to put a set of headphones on sideway so one of the earpieces was over his mouth. He sang into it while I played notes on a keyboard into the vocoder.

What song was it?
Mothersbaugh: "Worried About You." They'd recorded it in, like, 1968 and were like, "Well, let's add a synth track on it." The next day, they played it for Keith Richards and he later told my brother, "Who played that synthesizer part? I'm gonna stab him!" [Laughs] So Keith hated it, but there's a little of it still in the fadeout and that's about it.
When you were starting out, would you begin sets with "Satisfaction" so people thought you were doing a covers set?
Mothersbaugh: Yeah, but it would be after the third or fourth song where we'd announce, "OK, here's a song by Foghat called 'Mongoloid.' And then there'd be somebody that was, like, an out-of-work rubber worker because that was right when all the rubber companies decided to move out of Akron and they'd go, "All right, that's it." They'd slam their beer down and come up onstage. The next thing you know, we'd be in a brawl. You don't make fun of Foghat [laughs].
Casale: We would be met with anywhere from open-mouthed silence to catcalls and threats. I think one of the finest moments of the early days was the famous Halloween performance for a local radio station where we opened for Sun Ra. We booked ourselves as a covers band to get the gig. And I go, "Here's one by Bad Company." And we started with "Be Stiff." And right away, they're like, "Wait a minute, that wasn't Bad Company. Hey … " So by the third song they're starting to scream at us. So we change out set list and go straight to "Jocko Homo." And Mark goes out into the audience, "Are we not men?" and holds out the microphone, and of course the first guy — dressed in a Frankenstein outfit — grabs him and goes, "No. You're a fucking asshole!"
Mark wiggles away and jumps back onstage. "Are we not men?" "You guys are fucking queers." And then the beer bottles start flying at us, and we had to retreat. We changed into our regular street clothes, got some seafood and came back in the front door just like partygoers. Nobody even recognized us, because they'd only seen us in the Devo outfits with the plastic masks. So we smoked pot and watched Sun Ra. It was a great night. We were so proud of ourselves.
There are a few pictures of you with Brian Eno, who produced your first album, Q: Are We Not Men? and David Bowie. You wrote that Eno added a lot of synth parts to your songs but that you took them off the final record. Have you ever gone back and listened to what he added?
Casale: No. We really should listen to them again. Here we were with this brutalist, industrial aesthetic and songs we'd lived with for up to three or four years, and he's suddenly adding harmonies and very pretty synth string sounds, and we're like, "That's not Devo. What's he doing?" Nobody wanted to offend him — he's Brian Eno, and we respect and love him — and when the mixes started, Mark and I would have our hands on the faders and bring that stuff down. But it would be interesting to hear it again and see if it wasn't as jarring as it seemed. I mean, he is on "Uncontrollable Urge" singing harmonies during the chorus.
Mothersbaugh: The stuff that stayed is really amazing. He found a tape loop of chanting natives from Indonesia that we put in. And he put this one effect on "Too Much Paranoias" where the music stops at first and then there's a bucket effect of feedback that rolls down a hill; it's an amazing sound. But we were sensitive at the time, because there were something like seven or eight bootleg Devo albums already available, so we really wanted to do our definitive version, and we did worry about how much of the David and Brian tracks made it on the record so we turned things off. If I ever run into Brian, I'm going to ask him if he would want to mix it and say, "You can do what you were planning on doing back in 1978 if you want."
Around that time, you saw the Sex Pistols' final concert at the Winterland. What were your impressions of that?
Mothersbaugh: I was really happy 'cause I'd never seen them. And it wasn't long after that [Virgin Records founder] Richard Branson called me up and flew me and Bob Casale down to Jamaica because he had talked to Johnny Rotten, who had said he wanted to join Devo after the Pistols broke up. I remember going, "He should have his own band; he shouldn't be in our band." [Laughs] So we didn't do it. Maybe we should have done it for one day and let him do a photo shoot at the beach in Jamaica and then he could have gone to Ohio and said, "Oh, it's colder than London over here."
There's a picture of the original energy dome in the book. Do you still keep a lot of those in your house?
Casale: The original inspiration for the energy dome was a fixture in my grade school in Ohio. It was a ceiling fixture made out of white milk glass. They remodeled the school and this guy went there and managed to get one of the ceiling fixtures they were going to throw out. I bought it and he shipped it to me. When we turned that design into a hat, the sides had to be tapered, not straight up and down like art deco, so it would stay on your head.
Since you mentioned art deco, I think it's funny that you originally wanted Devo to be pronounced like "deco."
Casale: It was a joke — "art Deh-vo" — 'cause deco was an art movement. When we came out to California, it was like, "Hey, Dee-vo." And they put the emphasis on the "de-" and we started laughing and said, "We're just gonna be 'Dee-vo' instead of 'Deh-vo.'" [Laughs] And that was more keeping with the devolution anyway.
The book doesn't feature many of your videos, but of course "Whip It" is in there. What do you recall about making that?
Casale: The reason why we made the video that way was because every DJ we encountered was like, "Hey guys, whip it." And they'd make the jerkoff move. And at first, I was trying to tell them, "No, no. It was inspired by Thomas Pynchon." And their faces would drop and lose interest immediately, bummed out. So we thought, "Let's do exactly what they profanely think this was all about." Mark and I collected lots of novelty stuff and quack books, and I found a men's magazine from the Fifties or Sixties with a feature about a guy who was a Hollywood stuntman. He left the business and bought a dude ranch in Arizona. His wife was a stripper in the local clubs on Sunset Boulevard so when people would stay at the dude ranch, he had this routine where he whipped his wife's clothes off in the corral as entertainment. They developed this act and whipped her down to her underwear. The article had pictures and the whole thing. We went, "OK, we're gonna do this." There's so many politically incorrect things in that video, it's hard to count.
How did life change after "Whip It"?
Mothersbaugh: Before it, the record company ignored us. Then "Whip It" came and they made millions of dollars and they're like, "Oh, these weirdos can actually make money." So it became a thing where they started interfering and going, "Hey, if there's anything you guys need, we'll help you. Just write another 'Whip It.'" On the next record, New Traditionalists, we did a cover of "Working in the Coal Mine," the Lee Dorsey song. And Warner Bros. said, "Knock that one off. That's not good." We're like, "Well, but we like this." Then we got a call from the movie Heavy Metal, and they said, "Hey, we'd like Devo to be our outer-space lounge band," and we gave them "Working in the Coal Mine." And the movie came out, and wouldn't you know it, with all these heavy-metal bands, the one song that went onto the charts was Devo's "Working in the Coal Mine." So Warner Bros. panicked and they're like, "What are we doing? We don't have 'Working in the Coal Mine' on the album." And they pressed a single and stuck it inside as a freebie in the first 100,000 or something. We felt very misunderstood the whole time we were at that label.
Your Oh, No! It's Devo album had a song on it, "I Desire," with lyrics by John Hinckley Jr., who shot Ronald Reagan to impress Jodie Foster. How did that happen?
Mothersbaugh: They were printing his love letters and poems to Jodie Foster in the National Enquirer, and we were reading them going, "Wow, these are pretty great. If he hadn't shot the president, people might think differently about him." It was like, "I pledge alliance to the fact that your love is all that matters." I love that one. Anyhow, he shouldn't have shot anybody, though.
Did you ever hear from him again?
Casale: He wrote us a letter and that was it [laughs]. We heard he was quite proud of it. But I think he completely didn't understand that what we did was invert it. We knew how nuts he was, of course, and the third verse I added clearly turns the mirror on the psycho.
Mothersbaugh: Before we put it out, Jodie Foster wanted to hear it. So she came over to the studio and we explained to her that while it had his verses from the National Enquirer, we wrote a third verse that talks about the dangers of obsession and obsessive love and it turns the song around. I think she figured, "Well, this song's so weird, nothing's ever going to happen with it," and she said, "OK, you guys can put it on the record." [Laughs] The only people that seemed to care were the FBI. They called us up with threatening remarks like, "Well, you know his fans are gonna be your fans, and his fans all want to kill him." We were like, "Oh, that's great."
You also met William S. Burroughs, and in the book you wrote that he gave you lyrics that you never recorded. What were they like?
Casale: We spent an afternoon with him for an interview and a month later, he sent us lyrics called "Get on the Stick." He explained in the letter that accompanied the lyrics that a "stick" was something an ex-con had to have — like a legitimate-looking job or something — to throw the cops off his trail. And so the lyrics are all like, "Get on the stick/Do the trick." It was kind of a "Whip It" parody.
Mothersbaugh: If you thought "Whip It" was our take on Thomas Pynchon, then this would be [Burroughs] doing his take on Devo.
Casale: I thought he was a very — what's the word — ominous, threatening figure. You were impressed by him. We thought we were so informed and radical. He'd look at you and in that William Burroughs, slow, low drawl, go, "You know, Gerald, the real problem is there's just too many humans on this fucking planet. We need a plague to fix this." And you're like, "Oh, all right, Mr. Burroughs." [Laughs] You felt like such a stupid kid after that. We were in his bunker in New York, and he's got this cane and he pulls it apart and shows you that it has a long, stiletto knife in it and he shows you his guns, and you realize what a lightweight you are.
Mothersbaugh: Maybe we should finish that song. I think that would be a good idea before we stick a fork in it once and for all. He'd probably be pissed that we didn't do it when he was alive so he could collect some royalties [laughs].

Speaking of lyrics, there's a nice General Boy tribute in the book, with a song he supposedly wrote on display. Did your dad write those, Mark?
Mothersbaugh: My dad did co-write a song with us called "Enough Said" [on New Traditionalists]. When we recorded it, he went crazy and started writing lyrics every day. And then he hired a Country & Western band that played in a club in Akron to record them for him, and he would send them to me just to show us what they were supposed to sound like. We were like, "Oh, shit." I'd love to find that tape again. There should be a General Boy album.
Mark, you wrote in the book that there were all sorts of things you weren't able to pull off. What types of things would those be?
Mothersbaugh: At one time, I was fascinated with these rubber bondage suits you could get in England. There was something called "wallowing," which sounds ridiculous, but it was a sex fetish. It consisted of mostly older English people wearing a gas mask and some sort of rubber clothing and rubber wading boots. They'd go out into a bog and take pictures of themselves in mud and maybe the lady of the house would be topless. So I became interested in the clothes and mail-ordered some stuff. That's what I wore in the "Doctor Detroit" video. I was thinking, "What if I could attach the air hoses to those suits and when we got onstage, we could change shapes while we were performing, a bit like Lou Ferrigno used to do on TV." Nobody ever took me serious enough for it to happen. We did get some kind of lame version of it in the "Are U X-perienced?" video where I've got some sort of prosthetic on my shoulders and butt and they inflate to the rhythm of the music, like in a Popeye cartoon. It just looked totally unnatural. "But first … are you experienced?"
It's been a while since you did your Something for Everybody album in 2010, and it's also been a while since you toured. Why is that?
Mothersbaugh: It's my fault we don't tour. Jerry would be the first to tell you. I love writing music.
Casale: Until Mark changes his mind about playing shows, there's nothing happening. We get offers constantly. The money being offered is obscenely good. And I love playing. I wish we'd at least do a "The Beginning Was Really the End" tour, like a farewell. I think it would be smarter than just fading away. At least we could die with our boots on.
Mark, you got into writing soundtracks in the Eighties with Pee-wee's Playhouse and turned that into a career. Was that part of the reason why you've gotten less into touring?
Mothersbaugh: Yes, it was much more exciting than singing the same songs for eight months in a row. We still did tours every year, but I started getting tinnitus. I was reading, though, that somebody thinks they have a cure for tinnitus. Maybe I can start all over again and be like an alcoholic getting a new liver. I wouldn't mind doing another tour to be honest with you. If we planned it ahead of time and did it right, I would like it to be kind of a wrap-up. I'm hoping we can do a "Stick a Fork in It" tour — but I don't mean the band. We'll see what happens.
What do you hope people get out of this book?
Mothersbaugh: I hope people look at it and say, "Devo was right."

Second Palestinian activist freed by Israel
Amnesty International has welcomed the release from detention of Palestinian human rights activist Mohammed Othman - but is concerned that the Israeli authorities have imposed conditions which will prevent him exercising his human rights.
Mohammed Othman was arrested on 22 September 2009 when he returned from a visit to Norway where he spoke publicly about the adverse impact of the fence/wall that Israel is building on the territory of the occupied West Bank.
He was held without charge under an administrative detention order until his release on Wednesday after laying down a guarantee of 10,000 Israeli shekels (around US$2,700).
He is the second activist to be released by the Israeli authorities this week.
However, his liberty is conditional on him not travelling outside the West Bank for an unspecified length of time and reporting to the police immediately whenever they summon him for questioning.
"The conditions applied to Mohammed Othman's release from detention appear intended to prevent or deter him from continuing to campaign against the construction of the fence/wall in the West Bank and exposing the impact it has on the lives of Palestinians living there," said Malcolm Smart, Amnesty International's Middle East and North Africa Director.
"These conditions should be immediately rescinded."
Mohammed Othman's release follows that of Jamal Juma', who was freed without conditions on Tuesday. A third human rights activist, Abdallah Abu Rahma, remains in detention.
Jamal Juma', Mohammed Othman and Abdallah Abu Rahma have been campaigning against the West Bank fence/wall for years by raising awareness about its negative impact on Palestinians, organizing grassroots opposition and peacefully demonstrating against its construction.
The three have repeatedly expressed their commitment to the principle of non-violence and Amnesty International is unaware of any credible evidence that they have used or advocated violence.
Amnesty International continues to be concerned that Abdallah Abu Rahma is being detained solely on account of legitimately exercising his right to freedom of expression in opposing the Israeli fence/wall.
If this is the case, he is a prisoner of conscience and should be released immediately and unconditionally. Otherwise he should be brought to trial on recognizable criminal charges and in full conformity with international fair trial standards.

"It" is smashing records at the box office and making big fans out of Cannes-winning auteurs like Xavier Dolan.
"It" was destined to be a box office hit, but even Warner Brothers has to be shocked at the Stephen King adaptation's record-breaking success over it first three days. The Andy Muschietti-directed movie opened to a monstrous $123 million, making it one of the biggest debuts for an R-rated movie and the absolute biggest horror opening weekend in history. The film has revived the box office after a historically low summer, but it's also making admirers out of industry heavyweights, none more so than Xavier Dolan.
The Cannes-winning director, who is currently in post-production on "The Death and Life of John F. Donovan," took some time this weekend to see "It," and to say he adored it would be a massive understatement. Dolan quickly took to Twitter, where he proclaimed "It" was his new favorite movie of the century.
Go see @itmovieofficial – for the love of your childhood, for the fears you concealed, and didn't dare to express. For the extreme, moody, masterful beauty of the photography and sets, for the fun, for the unashamed and guiltless sense of pleasure, for the wit, for @finnwolfhardofficial, @jaedenwesley and all the others, go see it… for EVERYTHING it is and means. This is what entertainment should always be like, and also what it so rarely is. It should always have standards, and treat you with respect for your taste and intelligence.
"It" is now playing in theaters nationwide. Dolan's "John F. Donovan" does not have a U.S. distributor or a release date yet. He'll most likely be taking it to one of the early 2018 festivals, perhaps Berlin.

National Labor Relations Act (Employment Law Series)
LandMark Publications
Published January 13th 2015
THIS CASEBOOK contains a selection of 41 U. S. Court of Appeals decisions that analyze and interpret provisions of the National Labor Relations Act. The selection of decisions spans from 2012 to the date of publication.Section 7 of the NLRA guarantees employees the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, and the right to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of . . . mutual aid or protection. 29 U.S.C. § 157. Section 8(a)(1) of the Act in turn protects those rights by making it an unfair labor practice for an employer to interfere with, restrain, or coerce employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed in section 7. 29 U.S.C. § 158(a)(1). The NLRA provides that [t]he term employer includes any person acting as an agent of an employer. 29 U.S.C. § 152(2). [I]t is proper to attribute liability to an employer for statements of a supervisor. See Benson Veneer Co. v. NLRB, 398 F.2d 998, 1000 (4th Cir. 1968). The NLRA defines supervisor tomean[] any individual having authority, in the interest of the employer, to hire, transfer, suspend, lay off, recall, promote, discharge, assign, reward, or discipline other employees, or responsibly to direct them, or to adjust their grievances, or effectively to recommend such action, if in connection with the foregoing the exercise of such authority is not of a merely routine or clerical nature, but requires the use of independent judgment.29 U.S.C. § 152(11) (emphasis added). Gestamp South Carolina, LLC v. NLRB, (4th Cir. 2014).[I]njunctive relief under § 10(j) [of the NLRA] is just and proper when it is necessary to prevent irreparable harm or to preserve the status quo. HealthBridge, 732 F.3d at 141 (quoting Inn Credible Caterers, Ltd., 247 F.3d at 368). The principal purpose of a § 10(j) injunction is to guard against harm to the collective bargaining rights of employees. Inn Credible Caterers, 247 F.3d at 369. Paulsen v. Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC, (2nd Cir. 2014).The two-prong standard for § 10(j) injunctive relief is well established: First, the court must find reasonable cause to believe that an unfair labor practice has been committed. Second, the court must find that injunctive relief is just and proper. The NLRB Regional Directors determinations regarding reasonable cause receive significant deference. Inn Credible Caterers, 247 F.3d at 365. Paulsen v. Remington Lodging & Hospitality, LLC, ibid.[T]he Norris-LaGuardia Act, 29 U.S.C. § 101 et seq., states that, as a matter of public policy, employees shall be free from the interference, restraint, or coercion of employers of labor, or their agents, in the designation of ... representatives [of their own choosing] or in self-organization or in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection. § 102 (emphasis added). The Act declares that any undertaking or promise in conflict with the public policy declared in section 102 ... shall not be enforceable in any court of the United States. § 103. Johnmohammadi v. Bloomingdales, Inc., 755 F. 3d 1072 (9th Cir. 2014).[T]he National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), 29 U.S.C. § 151 et seq., says essentially the same thing. Johnmohammadi v. Bloomingdales, Inc., ibid.

Rookies will be the future of Ryder Cup says Clarke
On September 28, 2016, 3:05pm EDT
Captain Darren Clarke has backed his Ryder Cup rookies to be the foundation of European teams for years to come as he prepares to take them into battle against the United States at Hazeltine National Golf Club.
The Northern Irishman leads Europe's charge for a fourth consecutive victory in the biennial showpiece with six first-timers among his ranks in Rafa Cabrera Bello, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Thomas Pieters, Andy Sullivan, Danny Willett and Chris Wood.
By contrast, the Americans have just two rookies in their team in Minnesota, with some observers citing their superior experience as a factor in making the home side odds-on favourites to lift the trophy for the first time since 2008.
Clarke, though, has full faith in a set of exciting young stars with 18 European Tour wins between them, including a Green Jacket and a BMW PGA Championship.
"We've got six rookies on our team this week," he said. "They are probably going to be the future of the Ryder Cup going forward and I feel very fortunate that they are here on this team.
"I have full belief in all those rookies. They are very, very talented players and I'm sure they will do their utmost to respect Europe the best that they can this week."
The skipper was understandably keeping his cards close to his chest on which players he would pair together in the foursomes and fourballs but he admitted he knew "almost about 100 per cent" who would go out together on Friday.
With that in mind, Clarke mixed up his practice groups on Wednesday, revealing the mood in the camp was relaxed after visits from British and Irish Lions rugby union captain Paul O'Connell and magician Dynamo the previous evening.
"This morning I decided that I would put the veterans out against the rookies and let the rookies step up and take the veterans on," he said.
"That was the whole idea this morning. The guys are relaxed, they're enjoying themselves, and they wanted to go out there and have a little bit of fun. They've got a lot of pressure coming their way and this morning was going out and letting them play nine holes and trying to take the cash off the older guys."
He added: "Paul most definitely was exceptional in the team room last night. Any man that leads the British Lions who are playing overseas all the time, they play away from home. So to get his input and his vision on what it took to make a successful travelling side was very impressive.
"The team and the caddies were unbelievably impressed with the words that he gave us last night, so I was very, very thankful for him to come along and do that. The guys were thoroughly inspired.
"After that, going into the team room and having Dynamo there, Paul was in there as well, with Dynamo and to see the guys switch off a little bit and chill and enjoy themselves was also very beneficial. All in all, it was a very productive evening."

Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on the height and weight of adult men and women. It is determined by using a simple mathematical equation, BMI = weight / height2 x 703. For example, the BMI of a person who is 5'8″ tall and weighs 160 pounds is 24.33%. You get that number by dividing the weight, 160 pounds, by the height2 (68 x 68), 4624, and multiplying it all by 703. Mathematically it looks like this, 160/4624 x 703 = 24.33%.
Now that I have that number, what does it tell me?
This BMI formula cannot be used on competitive athletes, bodybuilders, children, pregnant women, or sedentary senior citizens.
Body Impedance Analysis (BIA) is quite different from BMI. BIA Is used to calculate your basal metabolic rate, by looking at three different body compartments.
Body cell mass, composed of intracellular water and metabolic tissues.
These figures give the doctor insight into the bodies toxicity (intra vs extra cellular water), phase angle (is the body building up or breaking down) and cellular capacitance (how electrical one is – how alive one is). Overall, BIA is a much more accurate predictor of overall health than the BMI.
BIA is a simple, painless procedure that can be performed right here in our office. If you are looking for a San Antonio nutritionist who can help, call 210-490-9169, today for an appointment!

In this series textural slips are burnished to a metal like finish without the use of glazes to achieve the seeming alchemy of clay into metal.
The process of mark-making imitates the quick, rhythmic strokes of the metal worker.
Some surfaces have the hard glint of polished metal while others are softened by time-worn dents & scratches.
Forms hint at traditional shapes but are precise with taut edges and clean lines. I envisage these metallic shimmers evolving into rusted and bronzed patinas in different colourations as the series develops.
In this series I wanted to achieve the shimmer of worn, beaten metal but without the use of glazes. The slip was applied in layers, fired, sanded to reveal the underlying layers of subtle colouration and finally polished.

Home MMA News Eddie Alvarez Measuring the impact of Eddie Alvarez signing with ONE Championship
Measuring the impact of Eddie Alvarez signing with ONE Championship
There are few martial artists in the world who have accomplished as much or more than Eddie Alvarez has in his 15-year, 36-bout career. That's why ONE Championship's recent signing of the Underground King was such a big deal.
The 34-year-old has won multiple championships with a number of different organizations, but he hasn't conquered a division in ONE. During a global press conference to promote the upcoming ONE: HEART OF THE LION event in Singapore in November, and to introduce Alvarez, the 34-year-old talked about his upcoming challenge, new opportunity, and organization.
"My career has brought me all across the globe," Alvarez said. "I have surveyed the competition, and it looks fierce. I am excited to be able to test my skills against some of ONE Championship's best talent. This is no doubt a huge move for my career, and I am proud to be able to represent the true authentic values of martial arts. I am a martial artist at heart, and ONE Championship stands for everything that I believe in this sport. It is an honor to join this incredible organization."
Despite receiving offers from other organizations, Alvarez chose to continue his martial arts career with ONE.
ONE has already established itself as the premier martial arts organization in all of Asia, but now the organization's influence and appeal are rising with those in North America. Alvarez is a native of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States, and he turned down offers from stateside promotions to come to ONE. For him to make the decision to perform for an organization that is based in Singapore says something about the momentum and status of his new promotion.
Alvarez is in a position to be a trendsetter. Don't be shocked if other free agents follow suit. During the conference call, Alvarez lauded ONE's true martial arts ethics, it's humane approach to weight management and the spirit of competition. His decision to take his talents to ONE could have a ripple effect that leads to more American and western talent inquiring about joining ONE's roster.
If those martial artist's value systems and competitive approach align with the culture CEO Chatri Sityodtong and other leaders have cultivated, the new additions could further expand what is already an incredibly diverse roster within ONE.
There are a number of intriguing opponents who could theoretically challenge Alvarez early on during his stint with ONE. He has expressed an interest to compete at or near 169 pounds where the list of potential opponents is long, including familiar adversaries like Shinya Aoki.
Alvarez has already split two previous bouts with the Japanese legend. A third bout with Aoki would be an appealing match–especially if Aoki can regain the lightweight title in March 2019 in Tokyo.
Alvarez will bring a new set of eyes that may have been blind to the qualities ONE Championship brings to martial arts. When they see Alvarez challenged by hungry and accomplished martial artists, everyone associated stands to gain. In the next five to seven years, as ONE continues to grow, we may look back on the Alvarez signing as one of the most important in ONE history.

Best of Enemies DVD
In the summer of 1968 television news changed forever. Dead last in the ratings, ABC hired two towering public intellectuals to debate each other during the Democratic and Republican national conventions. William F. Buckley Jr. was a leading light of thenew conservative movement. A Democrat and cousin to Jackie Onassis, Gore Vidal was a leftist novelist and polemicist. Armed with deep-seated distrust and enmity, Vidal and Buckley believed each others political ideologies were dangerous for America. Likerounds in a heavyweight battle, they pummeled out policy and personal insulttheir explosive exchanges devolving into vitriolic name-calling. Live and unscripted, they kept viewers riveted. Ratings for ABC News skyrocketed. And a new era in public discourse was born.Directed with consummate skill by filmmakers Robert Gordon and Academy Award-winning Sundance Film Festival alum Morgan Neville (Twenty Feet From Stardom), Best of Enemies unleashes a highbrow blood sport that marked the dawn of pundit television as we know it today.

Legacy Award debuts at this year's SBOTY ceremony!
As a new feature of this year's Small Business of the Year Awards coming up on August 29, 2018, the Newnan-Coweta Chamber will present its first Legacy Award, and the nominees are Crain Oil, Lindsey's, McKoon Funeral Home and Lee-King. This award will recognize a longtime Coweta County business that is known for its contributions to the local economy.
Crain Oil Company, Inc. is a full service petroleum marketer located in Coweta County since 1954. This family owned and operated business is one that offers a full range of products and services related to the petroleum business. Crain Oil carries a full line of commercial and industrial lubricants as well as gasolines, low-sulfur and high-sulfur diesel fuels, and methanol. They also carry the Phillips 66 and Sunoco line of racing fuels. Crain Oil flies the Phillips 66 and Texaco brands at convenience stores located throughout Metro Atlanta and surrounding areas.
Lindsey's Inc. Realtors has been in business in Newnan since 1948 and is currently celebrating its 70th anniversary. The company's founder, Lindsey Barron, and sons, Frank and Chip, are all past presidents or chairmen of the Newnan-Coweta Chamber. Lindsey Barron is believed to have been a charter member, and Lindsey's has been a member every year since the Chamber began. Also, Frank Barron was president when the Chamber raised the money and built its new building on Bullsboro Drive.
McKoon Funeral Home has its beginnings in1907, when J. U. McKoon opened a funeral home in Luthersville. In 1918, McKoon relocated the business to Newnan to be closer to the majority of his clients' families. The Depression caused Newnan's Cuttino family to lose their historic 1875 home, and in 1937, Mr. McKoon purchased the residence from Newnan Savings Bank and moved the funeral home to its current location. After McKoon's death, his son Robert B. McKoon became the second generation to own and operate the funeral home. He sold the funeral home to Terry Daviston in 1986, and today McKoon Funeral Home & Crematory is family owned and operated by the father-and-son team of Terry and John Daviston.

King of Pops co-founder to speak at Small Business of the Year Awards
Our Small Business of the Year sponsors, SouthTowne Motors and UBS Financial Services, Inc., and finalists get to sample some of the delicious King of Pops popsicles!
King of Pops started with a single pushcart on an Atlanta street corner. Today, the company's pushcarts and iconic rainbow umbrellas are recognized all across the South for their tasty ice pops made with quality ingredients and unique flavor combinations. Nick Carse, a co-founder of the company, will share the King of Pops success story when he comes to Newnan this August as keynote speaker for the Newnan-Coweta Chamber's 2018 Small Business of the Year Awards.
King of Pops co-founder Nick Carse is a true renaissance man playing the part of entrepreneur. He could start his day in a difficult negotiation with a company 100 times the size of King of Pops, quickly rewire an outlet at headquarters, and then ride his bike home to work in his garden. He's a tireless worker, has really long hair, and is the engine that makes sure things continue to progress.
According to the company, there was never really a plan for King of Pops. It started as a conversation that three brothers were having on an epic trip through Central America. Over the years, that conversation turned into a dream, and when the youngest of the three, Steven, was laid off from his corporate job during the Great Recession, that dream became a reality. A few months later, Steven's brother Nick left his job as a lawyer to become the second employee. The brothers went from layoffs and courtrooms to making people happy. The sharp contrast helped them realize how precious each day really is.
King of Pops can be found all across the Southeast with their famous pushcarts and rainbow umbrellas, in "poptails" at bars and restaurants, in stadiums and local universities, and in freezers at stores in local neighborhoods.

Child Psychology Degree Career Guide
The American Psychological Association (APA) recognizes several areas of specialty for professional psychologists. One of those is clinical child psychology, sometimes referred to as developmental psychology, which is often simply called child psychology.1 According to the APA, child psychology is a specialty that applies research and scientific knowledge to the care of young adults, children, toddlers, and infants. These professionals have specialized knowledge of child development, the unique psychological needs of children, and how social contexts affect the mental and emotional well-being of children.
To work as a clinical child psychologist, individuals typically earn an undergraduate degree in psychology before specializing in child psychology in graduate school. Practitioners may have a master's degree, a PsyD, or a PhD. A doctoral-level degree is required to become a certified child psychologist, as is an internship and postdoctoral practical experience supervised by an experienced professional. Certified child psychologists can work in children's hospitals, mental health institutions, juvenile correctional systems, schools, research settings, and private practice.
Degree Requirements and Coursework
To be accepted into a master's degree program in child psychology typically requires a basic background in general psychology and a bachelor's degree in any field. Some doctoral programs require a master's degree in psychology, but many accept students with an undergraduate degree in psychology only. These programs also typically require minimum GPAs (3.0 is common) and acceptable scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Many programs also consider personal recommendations, coursework, and practical experience.
Graduate programs in child psychology typically focus on cognitive development, the development of language and learning, social development, neuroscience, and the psychobiology of development. A master's program takes between two and three years to complete, while a doctoral program may take between four and six years. Graduate students also focus on both research and clinical practice. An example of coursework includes:
Adolescent and Young Adult Development
Design and Analysis for Developmental Research
Multicultural and Diversity Issues in Psychology
Professional Issues in Clinical Child Psychology
Psychology and the Legal System
Psychopathology in Children
Psychotherapy with Families
Social and Emotional Assessment

Profiles of Child Psychology Programs
It is possible to earn a master's degree in child psychology. With a master's-level degree, an individual may assist a certified psychologist or work in research. To be a certified clinical child psychologist requires a doctoral degree from a school that is accredited by the APA or the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA).
University of Kansas: The Clinical Child Psychology Program at the University of Kansas focuses on conferring doctoral degrees, but also offers a master's track. The requirements for a student earning a master's degree include taking a minimum of 24 credit hours of non-thesis coursework. The coursework is similar to what a doctoral student takes, but the overall number of credit hours required is less. Courses include core study in psychopathology, social development, cultural diversity, and cognitive development, as well as advanced study in these topics and others including practical clinical methods, research methods, behavioral interventions, and behavioral assessments. Master's students must also take at least six hours of thesis coursework and produce a thesis that is based on empirical research related to child psychology. The university's program has been inducted into the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science and is dedicated to research-based clinical practice. Admission to the program is highly competitive and applicants need to have a minimum of 15 credit hours in psychology, including research methodology and statistics. Experience in psychology research and working with children is not required but is recommended.
Chestnut Hill College: Chestnut Hill College offers a Child & Adolescent Therapy concentration in its Master of Science in Clinical and Counseling Psychology degree program. Students learn about developmental issues and potential psychological problems in children and adolescents, as well as interventions involving individuals and families and play therapy. Graduates are qualified to become licensed in Pennsylvania (and many other states) as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and may work in environments such as treatment centers, hospitals, and schools. 15 credits are required for the Child & Adolescent Therapy concentration, including Assessment & Treatment of Children & Adolescents, Play Therapy, A Systemic Approach to the Problems of Adolescents, Intro to the Assessment & Treatment of Psychological Trauma, and one elective.
University of Virginia: The University of Wisconsin offers a Master of Education degree in educational psychology and applied developmental science. It is a special area of focus for anyone interested in child and developmental psychology. This degree prepares students to help children in social and educational contexts. Admission requirements include a 3.0 minimum undergraduate GPA and a statement of professional goals. The degree requires a minimum of 32 credit hours focused on the study of developmental science and education science, including a three- to six-credit hour internship. The internship is a practical experience, which may include working on a research project with faculty members, evaluating summer educational programs, studying interventions to motivate students to succeed, or working for a school board, among many other varied opportunities.
Doctorate Programs
University of Minnesota: The doctoral program for child psychology at the University of Minnesota's Institute of Child Development has been ranked number one in developmental psychology programs by US News & World Report.2 The focus of the program is on research rather than clinical practice. Students contribute to the body of work on researching human development and are prepared to continue that work after graduation. Coursework includes the study of developmental psychology, child development, and research methods. Most graduates of the program find academic and research positions. To be admitted to the program students must submit GRE scores, three letters of recommendation from academic professionals who can attest to research experience and scholarship, and a written statement of professional interests and goals along with an application to the program.
University of California Berkeley: The University of California Berkeley's doctoral degree program for child psychology is housed within the Graduate School of Education because of its focus on school psychology. The program was first established in 1965 and readies students for careers in public and private schools, in mental health clinics, at universities, and in other educational settings. Students in the school psychology program complete classroom work and also spend a minimum of one day per week in educational and clinical settings. A full-time internship is completed during the fourth year. Admission to the program is competitive. Between 65 and 70 candidates apply each year, and only 10 are accepted. Applicants should have a minimum GPA of 3.50 and minimum GRE scores of 1100 to 1200 in the old scoring system and 200 to 300 in the new scoring system. Applicants must also have a statement of purpose and professional goals prepared for consideration.
University of Michigan: The Department of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan offers a postdoctoral course of study for those who already hold a doctoral degree that focuses on child clinical psychology. The program was the first of its kind to be accredited by the APA and is designed to give psychologists specialized training in preparation for careers and for leadership roles in educational and clinical settings. Postdoctoral students receive advanced training in areas such as treating adolescents in a family setting, evaluating and treating children, working in a clinical setting with children, and designing and conducting empirical research. They also focus on specialized and research-based treatment methods for children and how to implement them in both clinical and educational settings. To be accepted to the program students must already have a doctoral degree in clinical psychology and must submit a detailed description of work experience in any specialty areas as well as three letters of recommendation and full transcripts from the graduate institution.
Southern New Hampshire University: The MS in psychology at Southern New Hampshire University offers an option for an online concentration in child and adolescent development psychology. Southern New Hampshire University is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc. (NEASC). The program offers instruction from professionals who work in the field and affordable tuition rates. Topics of study include research methods, learning theory, ethical practice, social psychology, cognitive psychology, and other topics important to working with children. Admission to the program requires a bachelor's degree in psychology or a degree in another subject with prior psychology coursework completed, which should include introductory psychology, social science statistics, and social science research methods. A GRE score is not required.
