NEBRASKA UNION & EAST UNION, 11AM - 3PM, 11AM - 1PM
UNL to Observe National Depression Screening Day
The Counseling and Psychological Services of University Health Center and the Employee Assistance Program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln will offer education and screenings for a range of common emotional conditions in accordance with National Depression Screening Day today.
The free, confidential screenings will be in the Nebraska Union, 1400 R St. on city campus, from 11 am to 3 pm; and in the Nebraska East Union, Center and Arbor drives on East Campus, from 11 am to 1 pm for UNL students, faculty and staff. All UNL students who complete the screening will be entered into a raffle for an iPod Nano.
Depression is more than just a bad day, the result of a bad grade or a little anxiety about the future. It is a treatable disorder that can leave a person feeling so bad that they forget how it feels to feel good. Screenings for depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder will be available. Individuals can fill out a self-test and talk with a counselor about their personal situations. Counselors will also be available to speak about the Signs of Suicide program which can help you recognize the signs of suicide and what to do if you suspect someone is in danger of taking her or her own life.
Counseling and Psychological Services also offers year-round online screenings for UNL students in the areas of depression, manic depression, anxiety, eating disorders and alcohol use. Online screening is available at www.unl.edu/health/CAPS. Once the assessment is complete, individuals can schedule appointments with a University Health Center professional to go over the results and develop a treatment plan.
For more information, contact Counseling and Psychological Services at (402) 472-7450.

MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
Continuing This Week At The Ross: Aprês Vóus, The Beat That My Heart Skipped
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center
presents French films Aprês Vóus, a comedy starring several of France's most well-known actors, and The Beat That My Heart Skipped, the follow-up film from one of the country's most promising young directors.
In Aprês Vóus, two of France's most celebrated actors, Daniel Auteuil (The Closet, Girl on the Bridge) and José Garcia (Trouble Everyday, Jet Set), team up in a romantic comedy from director Pierre Salvadori (Wild Target) that begs the question: Can it actually be bad to be a Good Samaritan? Set in the most romantic city in the world, where the food is delicious and passions run deep, fate is about to step in and create an unlikely bond between two men. One will snatch the other from the brink of destruction then nearly push him toward it, and the other will take a surprising leap of faith that only a true friend can make.
Director Jacques Audiard and screenwriter Tonino Benacquista, who shared a 2002 Cesar Award for Best Original Screenplay for Read My Lips, team up again in The Beat That My Heart Skipped, a gritty psychological drama set in the dark, dank streets of Paris. The film is based on James Toback's cult favorite Fingers, in which Harvey Keitel played a tortured soul trapped between his love of the piano and his involvement with the mob. In this remake, Romain Duris stars as Tom, a ne-'er-do-well who works with two scheming real estate men, Fabrice (Jonathan Zaccai) and Sami (Gilles Cohen), who have little or no morals. When Tom sees his mother's old agent, he decides to return to the piano, practicing Bach's Toccata in E Minor for an important audition that he envisions could be a life-changing event. He hires a Vietnamese woman, Miao-Lin (Linh-Dan Pham), as his teacher, even though they speak different languages. While struggling to regain his mastery of the piano -- which he gave up after his virtuoso mother's tragic death -- he is called upon by his partners to participate in shady deals and even help one of them cheat on his wife (Aure Atika). He also has a troublesome relationship with his father (Niels Arestrup), who asks Tom to collect money he is owed, putting him in dangerous situations. The Beat That My Heart Skipped is an intelligent, involving film, told in long takes with a handheld camera to heighten the emotional impact of scene after scene.
