| 5.5°C Belfast
Liverpool's fluid, goal-laden performances may have set up a title challenge but striker Daniel Sturridge admits ultimately results will be the only thing which gets them over the line.
The 2-1 win over Sunderland, the Reds' seventh in succession, was not without its anxious moments but having come through that scare they have leaders Chelsea, just one point ahead, firmly in their sights.
Brendan Rodgers' side are the top flight's leading scorers with 84 goals but Sturridge accepts they may require more displays like that against the struggling Black Cats if they are stand a chance of ending a 24-year wait for the title.
"There are seven games to go and each one will be difficult and different in its own way," said the England international.
"For me I don't get too excited, I just take each game as it comes as it is different opposition, different styles of play, and we have to change the way we play against each team to try to get the result by whichever means necessary.
"It wasn't easy. It never is when a team defends so deep and puts so many bodies behind the ball.
"But in the first half we were patient and we worked hard to break them down and in the end we got the result we needed.
"Our back four defended well and we just try our best to do a job in front of them and they focus on doing their job.
"You have to grind results out sometimes. You have to do the dirty things to get the result you want, it is not always going to be easy."
Captain Steven Gerrard's free-kick was followed by Sturridge's 20th league goal of the season; the first time in 50 years two Liverpool players (Luis Suarez has 28) have reached that tally.
It was Sturridge's 30th league goal for the club in 37 games, which is quicker than any other Reds player since George Allan in 1896, and he has 34 in 43 matches in all competitions since joining from Chelsea for £12million in January 2013.
However, the 24-year-old is not interested in personal milestones.
"The success of the team is more important to me. It's not about myself," he added.
"We're all trying our best to do our jobs for the team.
"It was great to get the three points - that's the most important thing at this stage of the season."
Liverpool effectively have to win their remaining seven matches to stand a chance of lifting their first Premier League title, especially with Manchester City two points behind with two matches in hand.
Tottenham, demolished 5-0 at White Hart Lane in December, are the visitors on Sunday and Sturridge knows they cannot afford any slip-ups.
"We just need to continue working hard as a team and keep getting the job done," he said.
"It's important to take each game as it comes and not get too excited at the same time and try to get results in every game we can.
"We can't worry about the opposition. We just need to worry about how we play our football and do as well as we can."
Sunderland remain three points from safety, having taken just one point since victory in the Tyne-Wear derby on February 1, and Monday's visit of West Ham takes on huge significance.
"We need to take what we have done here into the next game; that's what's most important," said manager Gus Poyet.
"We can't just keep playing like this every now and again and then not perform at home.
"A result against West Ham now would be perfect for me because we have shown the type of attitude to go out and score goals and try to win the game and I want to see this again.
"I've learned an awful lot. I know I keep saying this but I've only been at the club and with the players for a few months and every game is different."

I am now studying abroad as graduate. After I came to USA, I was determined to be financially independent from my family. So I searched for affiliate programs online as I was informed of how much wealth it could bring. Among available choices, my eyes were caught by Bestaah.com as it offers a whole lot of products at extremely low prices. So I started to post their deals on some forums and blogs. Guess what, the money I earn now is literally beyond thought. I might try to find a job there after graduation. Thanks!

Test tube baby centres in Rambagh, Allahabad have eventually become the center of attraction for numerous hopeless couples.
Test-tube baby is the result of successful human reproduction from methods that involves fertilization of eggs with sperms in a specialized lab. It refers to a baby that is conceived outside the women's body by a scientific process known as In-Vitro fertilization or IVF treatment. In this process, eggs are taken from mother's ovary and fertilized by sperms taken from father's semen sample.
The fertilized egg is cultured for two to six days and allowed to grow till the blastocyst stage. Once, fertilized, the egg is transferred back to the mother's uterus where it is placed to develop normally, this is done with the intention to establish a successful pregnancy. The procedure has greatly helped women as well as men with infertility problems that are untreatable to give birth to healthy babies.
There are two types of IVF treatments in terms of medication and stimulating drugs:
IVF process in tube baby centres in Rambagh, Allahabad is usually performed under five steps which are explained below.
The entire test tube procedure takes about four to six weeks to complete. A few weeks are needed to stimulate and mature the eggs. The retrieval of eggs takes about half a day. In male infertility cases, ICSI is also performed which involves selectively picking healthy sperms and injecting in the eggs, which can take additional time. After the eggs are injected with sperms, it takes about three to five days to fertilized and develop into an embryo. Embryo transfer is performed without much delay and the woman is allowed to go home the same day.
Here are several reasons why a couple should consult a test tube baby specialist:
There are several benefits of In vitro Fertilization that are mentioned as below:
Younger women have higher chances of IVF success. Test tube baby success rates also depend on the quality of eggs, causes of infertility and treatment procedures involved in the treatment. Below are the success rates depending on the age of a woman:

CMM Investment Promotes Molder's Growth
Processor Strategies: Yahagi America Molding
Adding new technology allows molder to expand into tighter-tolerance work.
An investment in new technology is paying off big at Yahagi America Molding Inc. (YAMI), Park City, Ky. This Tier 2 automotive molder recently added new metrology equipment and expects to nearly triple its revenues in the next few years because it can now process a wider range of tighter-tolerance parts.
"Based on our history of quality, pricing, and responsiveness, our largest customer wanted to expand the amount of business we handled for them," recalls Greg Parker, quality supervisor with YAMI. "However, growth would require technology upgrades and a mindset toward making some pretty big changes."
Featured Content
YAMI first responded to the challenge by purchasing a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) from Mitutoyo America Corp., Aurora, Ill., as well as contour and surface-roughness measuring equipment from the same supplier. The new systems allowed YAMI to produce tighter-tolerance parts and measure and document quality-control requirements. Improved metrology capability also helped YAMI to reduce operating costs, get into molding abrasive materials and learn how to handle their detrimental effect on mold wear; and boost productivity and production scheduling—including job mix and lot sizes, says Parker.
YAMI now produces about 4 million parts a month, double the volume of just a few years ago. Mostly it molds lower-tolerance components for HVAC systems. Its 27 injection machines range from 18 to 280 tons. Annual sales are currently at $8 million, but YAMI's target is $20 million within the next few years.
"It was quite a challenge to change both our mindset and overall capabilities to grow toward higher precision types of molding work," states Parker. "When automotive companies started reducing their supplier bases, we made the cut. As a result, several precision part molding jobs were transferred to us."
While the company could handle molding the parts, they didn't have a way to check specifications to tighter levels and do so more quickly. Before, their only option was to use local outside metrology services to check tighter-tolerance parts. At times, YAMI used hand-held devices or a benchtop microscope. With a larger volume of work, they knew they had to bring metrology in-house for both precision and productivity.
Two important new jobs are an accelerator pedal/base assembly and an acceleration sensor used in airbag assemblies. These parts required tolerances of ±0.02 to ±0.05 mm. The sensor part is ultrasonically welded with a metal insert, resulting in a need to scan 50 points across the weld surface to make sure it meets flatness requirements.
Parker explains that the CMM measures quickly, accurately and cost-effectively. Mitutoyo's Crysta-Apex CMM can measure the tighter tolerance levels and also can handle a higher volume of part checking. YAMI does 7 hr worth of checking the first and last parts of every run, including at least 24 airbag sensor parts and 12 accelerator bases/pedals each shift.
While most of YAMI's parts could fit in the palm of your hand, the new CMM offers a much larger envelope. YAMI expects that future jobs might include larger part sizes, and the CMM could also allow checking the mold halves themselves for design, tryout, re-engineering, and repair work.
The airbag sensor part required specific QC checks not possible with YAMI's previous equipment. For example, a 2-mm central radius is checked with Mitutoyo's Contracer CV 3100 Profile Contour Measuring Machine. This ±0.2 mm tolerance check could not be measured by a radius gauge or other type of measuring device because of the intricate part design, states Parker. On that same part, a metal insert is checked to a 12 RZ roughness level with Mitutoyo's Surftest SJ-400 Portable Surface Roughness Tester. The metal insert's roughness level is critical because the part is ultrasonically welded in downstream operations and the overall surface must meet a precise roughness spec to provide a tight fit with a mating part.
Parker appreciates the user-friendliness that both machines provide, especially the color touchscreen interface and the high-speed printer that documents measurement results right at the workspace. Both machines provide a fairly small footprint that works well in their gauge room's limited space.

Welcome to Paloose
Paloose is a simplified version of Cocoon using PHP. It resulted from scratching a long standing personal itch: that there are very few ISPs who will support Java/Tomcat for web sites, other than as a very expensive "professional" addition. Almost all will support PHP5 (sorry, Paloose does not use PHP4), so I decided to write my version of a simple, cut-down Cocoon in PHP5. I wanted to use XML on my personal sites but could not use Cocoon because of the expense. I have been using Paloose for some time now and have always found it a good substitute for Cocoon in all but the most complex sites. Paloose may also encourage others to start using XML and XSL without having to use extra bits such as Tomcat, Jetty or a full Cocoon installation.
Please note that the technology underlying Paloose does not make it suitable for very large sites. If you need performance (see a discussion of performance issues here) then upgrade to Cocoon — the extra expense of an updated server account will probably be unnoticeable in the overall cost of a large site anyway. However, having the ability to try out XML and XSL ideas in a PHP environment with a subset of Cocoon is very useful.
Although Paloose is free software (see Licence here) I would appreciate an EMAIL (firstname.lastname@example.com) from anyone who downloads it — especially those who actual use it. Comments are welcome, good or bad.What people say ...
started using [Paloose] soon after your announcement on the Cocoon-users mailing list, and have been very impressed by its completeness. I'd been wanting a way to work in a Cocoon-like paradigm ... that could be used on "standard" web hosts, and Paloose has filled that need very well.
I just want to say thank you for developing Paloose and releasing it to the world. I have wondered at times about a PHP framework similar to Cocoon. ... Paloose does exactly what I need ... [it] is an excellent package. I was able to move a small web site from Cocoon to Paloose with very little changes. Cocoon and Paloose both demonstrate that content management can take place in a simple manner without the need for a database. ... Keep up the great work. You already have a great package that can only get better.

"Negroes in Spain," from The Volunteer for Liberty (1937)
In July, on the boat with me coming from New York, there was a Negro from the far West on his way to Spain as a member of the 9th Ambulance Corps of the American Medical Bureau. He was one of a dozen in his unit of American doctors, nurses, and ambulance drivers offering their services to Spanish Democracy.
When I reached Barcelona a few weeks later, in time for my first air-raid and the sound of bombs falling on a big city, on of the first people I met was a young Porto Rican of color acting as interpreter for the Loyalist troops.
A few days later in Valencia, I came across two intelligent, young colored men from the West Indies, aviators, who had come to give their services to the fight against Fascism.
And now, in Madrid, Spain's besieged capital, I've met wide-awake Negroes from various parts of the world -- New York, our Middle West, the French West Indies, Cuba, Africa -- some stationed here, others on leave from their battalions -- all of them here because they know that if Fascism creeps across Spain, across Europe, and then across the world, there will be no more place for intelligent young Negroes at all. In fact, no decent place for any Negroes -- because Fascism preaches the creed of Nordic supremacy and a world for whites alone.
In Spain, there is no color prejudice. Here in Madrid, heroic and bravest of cities, Madrid where the shells of Franco plow through the roof-tops at night, Madrid where you can take a street car to the trenches, this Madrid whose defense lovers of freedom and democracy all over the world have sent food and money and men -- here to this Madrid have come Negroes from all the world to offer their help.
On the opposite side of the trenches with Franco, in the company of the professional soldiers of Germany, and the illiterate troops of Italy, are the deluded and drive Moors of North Africa. An oppressed colonial people of color being used by Fascism to make a colony of Spain. And they are being used ruthlessly, without pity. Young boys, mean from the desert, old men, and even women, compose the Moorish hordes brought by the reactionaries from Africa to Europe in their attempt to crush the Spanish people.
I did not know about the Moorish women until, a few days ago I went to visit a prison hospital here in Madrid filled with wounded prisoners. There were German aviators that bombarded the peaceful village of Colmenar Viejo and machine-gunned helpless women as they fled along the road. One of these aviators spoke English. I asked him why he fired on women and children. He said he was a professional soldier who did what he was told. In another ward, there were Italians who joined the invasion of Spain because they had no jobs at home.
But of all the prisoners, I was most interested in the Moors, who are my own color. Some of them, convalescent, in their white wrappings and their bandages, moved silently like dark shadows down the hall. Other lay quietly suffering in their beds. It was difficult to carry on any sort of conversation with them because they spoke little or no Spanish. But finally, we came across a small boy who had been wounded at the battle of Brunete -- he looked to be a child of ten or eleven, a bright smiling child who spoke some Spanish.
"Where did you come from?", I said.
He named a town I could not understand in Morocco.
"And how old are you?"
"Thirteen," he said.
"And how did you happen to be fighting in Spain?"
Then I learned from this child that Franco had brought Moorish women into Spain as well as men -- women to wash and cook for the troops.
"What happened to your mother", I said.
The child closed his eyes. "She was killed at Brunete," he answered slowly.
Thus the Moors die in Spain, men, women, and children, victims of Fascism, fighting not for freedom -- but against freedom -- under a banner that holds only terror and segregation for all the darker peoples of the earth.
A great many Negroes know better. Someday the Moors will know better, too. All the Franco's in the world cannot blow out the light of human freedom.

1 Peter 3:13-22 English Standard Version (ESV)
13 Now who is there to harm you if you are zealous for what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, 15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, 16 having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. 17 For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.
18 For Christ also suffered[a] once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, 19 in which[b] he went and proclaimed[c] to the spirits in prison, 20 because[d] they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water. 21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.

This summer a hardy band of volunteers and one or two paid professionals began a second season of excavation at a 50 room villa and extended Iron Age/Roman site, which stretches across and beyond the East Cliff at Folkestone, Kent, writes Dr Lesley Hardy, Project Director for A Town Unearthed: Folkestone before 1500 and Senior Lecturer at Canterbury Christ Church University.
Rescue archaeology on a cliff-edge
Folkestone sits in a liminal position on a bed of greensand rock which juts out between the chalk Down-land and the clay weald. It is the closest crossing point to France and so also, depending on your perspective, marks a boundary or a route-way between Britain and the continent probably used for millennia.
The site overlooks the English Channel and is in a stunning though precarious location on the edge of the chalk cliffs there. Its direct sight line is Boulogne and on a clear day other Roman bases at Dover and Lympne can be seen, as can the North-Downs Way which ends abruptly interrupted by cataclysm at the cliff edge above Folkestone.
Erosion makes this rescue archaeology and has justified excavation which would not have been allowed on a less compromised scheduled site.
A Town Unearthed
The dig is a part of a three-year Lottery-funded community archaeology project based in Folkestone called ' A Town Unearthed'. It's a title of double meaning, intended to reflect multiple meanings attached to community archaeology in general and in particular to this project's aim.
It aims not only to deliver community archaeology in the sense of fieldwork but also to 'dig' in the more critical sense of understanding how the community of Folkestone sees and understands itself in relation to its past: an archaeology of itself.
If we want to understand the processes by which communities identify with certain archaeological and historical places, this is an important site.
Folkestone is a town which has come to be defined by a relatively recent history. The town was developed at a rapid pace in the 1860s and 70s as a health resort.
If you visit today you would see a somewhat modernised but largely Victorian/Edwardian resort. The decline slowly eroded the prosperity of the resort from the 1940s also continues to leave its mark.
Reconnecting townsfolk and their heritage
We hope that by re-awakening interest in the larger time-span and the rich ancient landscape that surrounds the town to contribute towards challenging this narrative of decline and to reconnect people with the significant and rich ancient heritage that surrounds them.
These include the Bayle – the site of a C7th Royal Minster; Castle Hill- a large Norman earthwork (one of Pitt-Rivers' first excavations) and also the large amount of unpublished reports, artefactual collections and other material which trace a history dating from earliest times.

ADT is so confident in the quality of their monitoring services, that if your home is broken into while your system is armed, ADT will pay up to $500 of your homeowners insurance deductible (certain restrictions may apply).
Burglaries Cost More than You Think
Being the victim of a home burglary can be a very distressing experience. Stress may become compounded once the financial impact of a burglary becomes apparent. According to the FBI, burglary victims in 2011 faced, on average, nearly $2,200 in property loss. This number doesn't take into consideration additional expenses in the form of lost wages, insurance deductibles, and various other costs. Residents of some cities were victims of as many as 109101 property crimes and 27459 burglaries in 2011. Several of these burglaries could have been prevented had homeowners installed home security systems, which can deter potential intruders from breaking into a residence.
Why Oklahoma Homeowners Choose ADT Monitoring Systems
There are many different reasons Oklahoma residents choose ADT Security Monitoring to help protect their home & family from burglary and other disasters. But we thought we'd list just a few reasons for choosing SafeStreets USA and ADT.
Multiple types of protection. ADT monitored security systems not only help protect against burglaries and home invasion, but also helps against fire and even carbon monoxide poisoning. An alarm can help wake your family in case of smoke and fire. A panic button can also help contact police or fire department during an emergency, perhaps even saving your life.
Security equipment that's easy to use. With just a push of a button you can easily arm and disarm your system. And with the panic button your family can quickly alert emergency response such as police or the need of an ambulance.
Dependable equipment and confident monitoring your home security system is monitored 24 hours a day and 365 days per year by trained staff at the ready. ADT provides great redundancy with 6 US monitoring centers your home is never unprotected. If one center is down then another automatically starts monitoring your home.
Quick deployment of first responders. At any time your alarm is triggered or you push the panic button, ADT's monitoring centers will quickly try and verify your situation. If you are having an actual emergency ADT will immediately notify police or fire responders with your exact location and details.
Tip: Before you drive on snow & icy streets
Although our part of the country is going through an extremely mild winter (as in little snowpack which will probably lead to water issues this summer), other parts of the country are getting the usual blasts of arctic air and bouts of heavy snowfall. Since winter weather has to be extreme to get people to stay home, plenty of us are out there driving no matter the road conditions. And that's dangerous.
According to reporting by USAToday.com, over 4,000 Americans have died in winter-related car crashes in the past five years. In fact, car accidents kill more people than weather disasters, and commonsense says accidents are more likely when visibility is bad and roads are slick.
We are all about safety and security at SafeStreetsUSA, and that includes watching out for you while you're on the road. So we compiled some tips for you for safer winter driving, based on advice offered by AAA…
Before you leave the house
The best way to be ready for winter driving is to be prepared ahead of time. Take time to see to these things long before you grab your keys and coat:
- Stock your car with things you might need in an emergency, such as blankets, gloves, hats, food, water and medication. Also carry something brightly colored in case you get stuck.
- Avoid driving while tired. Your reaction time won't be as good should you need to avoid an accident.
- Make sure your car is well maintained, and your tires are properly inflated. Or, as we like to say, make sure your car is trip worthy. This is sound advice all year long, but especially in the winter when being stranded will be a bigger challenge.
- Keep your gas tank at least half full. This is in part to avoid your gas line freezing, but it's also sound advice for being prepared for adversity.
- Keep an eye on the weather forecasts, especially before a long-distance drive or driving in an isolated area. If you can't postpone a trip, make sure someone knows your route, destination and estimated time of arrival.

Winter Fishing on Chesapeake Bay
Virginia Beach sport fishing attracts many thousands of anglers to Virginia Beach and Rudee Inlet every year to experience what some say is the best sport fishing on the Mid-Atlantic Coast. Including the world famous Chesapeake Bay, Virginia Beach is nearly surrounded by fertile fishing grounds which makes the region one of the top sport fishing vacation destinations on the Atlantic Coast. Anglers fishing in Virginia Beach also enjoy the fun and exciting tourist areas along the boardwalk and Atlantic Avenue which makes a Virginia Beach fishing trip or vacation perfect for the entire family including the kids.
Virginia Beach striper fishing season opens up in late fall and continues into the winter months and the striper aka rockfish become the target catch for just about all of the Va Beach charter boats. Striper fishing in Virginia Beach becomes all the talk among area anglers around October or so. With quite a few striper tournaments every year and a couple recent state record striper being caught the VB striper fishing gets all the talk and attention. When you charter the "Net Profits" for a striper fishing trip you can expect Captain Lee to go above and beyond to put your crew on a trophy sized Va Beach striper.
Fish we catch off Va Beach or Cape Hatteras include:
• Blue Marlin
• White Marlin
• Yellowfin Tuna
• Bluefin Tuna
• Bigeye Tuna
• Wahoo
• Dolphin – Mahi Mahi • Sailfish
• King Mackerel
• Striper (Rockfish)
• Amberjack
• Spadefish
• Bluefish
• Shark
As the weather begins to get colder and most people are back to school and work, one of the biggest fishing seasons is just beginning to kick off in Virginia Beach. Known to many as the "Rockfishing Capital," Virginia Beach offers an awesome winter time fishing season. Rockfish, also known as Stripers or Striped Bass, are an extremely fun fish to catch and delicious to eat. This type of fishing gives both the novice or the seasoned fisherman a sportfishing trip they won't forget.
Our boats are top of the line and custom built based on certain criteria, including size, speed and amenities of the boat, as well as the Captain and mates experience and reputation. Our boats have indoor cabins with both AC and heating to make the experience more enjoyable. All of our Captains are very seasoned and familiar with the area.
Rockfish season in Virginia Beach begins October 4th and runs through March 31st, then re-opens May 16th. There are two different seasons in Virginia Beach- the Coastal season and the Chesapeake Bay season.
The Chesapeake Bay season
Time: October 4th-December 31st
Possession limits: 2 fish per person, with one fish being between 18 and 28 inches and
the other fish over 32 inches.
The Coastal season
Time: January 1st and runs through March 31st, then re-opens
May 16th through December 31st.
Possession limit: 2 fish per person, both fish have to be over 28 inches.
Best Time To Fish
Between December and February, although often times the end of November can be really good, as well as in past years it has not been uncommon for the fishing to remain RED HOT until the middle or end of March.

Principals' jobs could be cut to cover CPS budget deficit
Dozens of administrative jobs on the chopping block
Dozens of administrative positions could be cut at Cincinnati Public Schools to help bridge a yawning budget deficit.
Superintendent Mary Ronan said the district faced up to a possible $63 million shortfall, and CPS has notified 75 employees – about half of them school principals – up for contract renewal that the renewals won't be automatic.
Since every school must have a principal, most of them will be back next year.
The rest of the employees notified are administrators in a variety of departments.
"We do need flexibility really of our administrators to move them into different positions and make difficult choices," Ronan said.
But the deficit can't be covered entirely with administrative cuts, so other options are under consideration.
"Possibly consolidating buildings, looking for cost savings everywhere we can, and we're just beginning that process right now because we just got the funding formula two weeks ago," Ronan said.
School officials won't know the exact deficit number until the state determines the district's budget in June or July.

Raising something to an imaginary number is weird, I have a hard time wrapping my head around that.
And $e$ seems even more common and comes up in many situations, such as:
- the non-geometric definition of sin,
- the fourier transform,
- $e^{\pi i} = -1$ !?! (see, for instance, here)
I'd really like to have some light shed on the matter.
How do I begin to form an intuitive grasp of $e^i$ ?

$6.99 ex VAT
Assetto Corsa Competizione setup developed for the Brands Hatch race track in the Ginetta G55 GT4. Included in this package is both the race and qualifying setups. Designed for quick laps while still maintaining tire life.
Save time and remove the guessing. Use our setups out the box or as a baseline to improve upon. Coach Dave Academy setups are created by the best sim racers in the business and then back tested by real racing drivers. Our focus is not only on speed but also drivability and consistency.
Tyre pressures change every session based on ambient and track temperature as well as track state (green, fast, optimum). We recommend that in a dry optimal qualifying and race session that you aim for a tyre pressure range of 27.5 – 28 psi. For wet tyres the pressure range slightly increases and your aim should be 29.5 – 30 psi.
Brake pad 1 and brake pad 4 compounds offer the same braking performance and efficiency when the brakes are optimal temperature. Brake pad 4 however has much worse pedal modulation, is exceptionally hard wearing and they have worse performance when the brakes are just outside their optimum working range. For almost any qualifying situation brake pad 1 is superior and more consistent.
Through personal experience here at Coach Dave Academy we recommend that any race spanning from 90 minutes through to 12 hours that you use brake pad compound 2. Please bear in mind that brake longevity is very dependent on car choice and driving style.
The peak reference lap times for each circuit you see listed are completed on ACC in hotlap mode, with a track temperature of 30 degrees running the qualifying setups included in your bundle.

Venerable Basil the Confessor, companion of Venerable Procopius at Decapolis
Saint Basil the Confessor was a monk and suffered during the reign of the iconoclast emperor Leo the Isaurian (717-741). When a persecution started against those who venerated holy icons, Saint Basil and his companion Saint Procopius of Decapolis (February 27) were subjected to much torture and locked up in prison. Here both martyrs languished for a long while, until the death of the impious emperor.
When the holy Confessors Basil and Procopius were set free along with other venerators of holy icons, they continued in their monastic struggles, instructing many in the Orthodox Faith and the virtuous life. Saint Basil died peacefully in the year 750.

A Massachusetts man was arrested Wednesday for operating under the influence after doing donuts in a tractor in the middle of a main road.
According to WCVB Boston and The Patriot Ledger, neighbors called Pembroke police Wednesday night after they spotted 49 year old Jeffrey Sevigny roasting the tires of a Bobcat around 8pm.
When police arrived they found Sevigny driving the vehicle in a dirt parking lot which was enough for police to arrest the intoxicated man for operating under the influence—for the third time—as well as driving without a license and negligent driving. Obviously fresh tire marks in the middle of the street backed up witness accounts of the incident.
Police did not administer a field sobriety test at the time of the arrest because the man was too drunk according to Lt. Mike Jenness of the Pembroke Police.
As you can see from the above video, Bobcat donuts are usually little more than harmless fun, but like any other form of senseless hooning there is a time and a place for it. As we're sure Mr. Sevigny is now well aware, the middle of a main road after an evening of drinking doesn't appropriately fall into either of those two categories.
Hat tip to DannyBN!

Motorola Mobility has won an injunction preventing the sale of the Xbox 360 and Windows 7 from a German court.
Motorola can't enforce the injunction right away, however. Microsoft will appeal the ruling, and a US judge recently ruled that any injunction in Germany can't take effect until the related US court case is settled.
The ruling in Germany covers the Xbox 360, Windows 7, Internet Explorer, and Windows Media Player, resulting from Microsoft's alleged infringement of two standards-essential patents related to the H.264 video codec, the BBC reports today.
Microsoft told the BBC that the German ruling "is one step in a long process.... Motorola is prohibited from acting on today's decision, and our business in Germany will continue as usual while we appeal this decision and pursue the fundamental issue of Motorola's broken promise."
The "broken promise" Microsoft is referring to is Motorola's pledge to license standards-essential patents under so-called "fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND)" terms. In response to the German ruling, Motorola said "We remain open to resolving this matter. Fair compensation is all that we have been seeking for our intellectual property."

Minor League Cards: Playoff Edition
While all eight teams are still there (for the moment) I thought this was a suitable time to salute the managers, and show them in the blossom of youth, on minor league (or in two cases, even more exotic) baseball cards from decades back.
A Tidewater set that depicted Bochy). The other one is a rookie and he's bounced around among three teams this year: TBS, MLB Network, and PeachTree, but he might make it. I mean, if he can survive the experience of being on the Pro Cards' 1987 Glens Falls Tigers card set, I suppose he can survive anything.
6 Comments
Great stuff. Remember Charlie Manuel from those days when I lived in Japan. He was quite a sight with his size.
I�m pretty sure, Gardenhire, played for the same Lara Cardinals in the Venezuelan winter league than Bobby Cox
Home collection no doubt KTO
I could kiss that French-born manager right now. 😉
Thanks, Keith. I love these! I'm still hoping to see some Oakland Oaks if you have any.
Go Giants!!!
I really enjoyed seeing the cards. Poor old Bobby Cox might have tried to do too much last night.

About this artwork
This stone, commemorating the beginning of the reign of Emperor Motecuhzoma II, was originally located within the ritual center of Tenochtitlan, the capital of the extensive empire conquered by the Aztecs between 1428 and 1519. The ruins of the city lie beneath downtown Mexico City. Known as the Stone of the Five Suns, this monument draws connections between Aztec history and the cosmic scheme. The quadrangular block is carved with the hieroglyphic signs of five successive cosmic eras, called "suns" in the language of the Aztecs. These eras were mythic cycles of creation and destruction that began in the time of genesis and continued with the birth of humankind and the period of Aztec rule. From "4 Jaguar-sun" in the lower-right corner, the eras proceed counterclockwise through "4 Wind-sun," "4 Rain-sun," and "4 Water-sun." The X carved in the center represents "4 Movement-sun," the sign of the present era for the Aztecs. The year "11 Reed" in the square cartouche refers to 1503, the year of Motecuhzoma's coronation, while the day listed above it—"1 Crocodile"—corresponds to July 15, when the ceremony probably occurred. On the underside, the hieroglyphic date "1 Rabbit" denotes the beginning of things in the distant mythological past. The sculpture thus legitimizes Motecuhzoma's rule as part of the cycle of birth, death, and renewal and presents him as heir to the world in the present era of creation.

Remember when Jude Law got caught f-cking with his nanny Daisy while engaged to Sienna Miller? And then Sienna got back at him by f-cking Daniel Craig? Well we're reliving it now because Jude testified at that never-ending phone hacking trial in London where it was revealed that Sienna and Daniel (who starred in Layer Cake together – their chemistry was HOT) were actually carrying on for a while and she'd call Daniel while was with Jude and leave him messages like, "I can't talk. I'm with Jude. I love you."
Jude confirmed on the stand that when he found out about the affair, he had a shouting match with Daniel on the phone. During that shouting match, he advised Daniel to tell Satsuki Mitchell, to whom he was engaged at the time. Jude and Daniel were good friends for years before that sh-t went down. Are they still friends? Well, Jude did a movie with Daniel's wife, Rachel Weisz, just a couple of years ago. And Jude got back together with Sienna well, well, well after they broke off their engagement. They're friends again now too. A brother's betrayal however may be harder to get over. And a relative's too. Because it was a family member who sold Jude out. He knew about it then but he only realised that that relative was getting paid for it when he was in court yesterday.
And what have we learned here? It keeps repeating, doesn't it? Elizabeth Taylor slept with Eddie Fisher who was really good friends with her deceased husband, Mike Todd. Fisher was married at the time to Debbie Reynolds. It was a major scandal. But then Elizabeth cheated on Eddie with Richard Burton, also married at the time. And then there's Brange and Aniston. And there's Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson and Nikki Reed. And Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe and Dennis Quaid. They all sleep with each other all the time. Still. Always. It's the Hollywood truth.
Attached – Jude and Daniel at a party in 2005 when all that drama was going on but before it blew up. And Sienna with Daniel at the premiere of Layer Cake. And Jude heading to court yesterday.

LAS VEGAS -- Wayne Newton's proposed tourist wonderland in Las Vegas is devoting more space to his collection of celebrity keepsakes, including Nat King Cole's watch, a Frank Sinatra champagne glass and a Johnny Cash guitar.
Revised building plans submitted last month show a Las Vegas company turning Newton's home into a sprawling tourist playground and expanding a museum space devoted to the singer's favorite memorabilia. A theater where he is expected to perform is also getting beefed up.
When Newton isn't on stage, the 71,187-square-foot movie house will run a documentary about his life.
A Newton-theme car wash will also be larger than originally planned to accommodate tour buses. The expansions mean the proposed zoo and car museum will be slightly smaller, according to building plans obtained by The Associated Press.
Newton received permission last year to turn his lavish home into a tourist venue after a bruising battle in which his neighbors said they didn't want tour buses invading the largely residential neighborhood where Newton built his 10,000-square-foot home decades ago.
The plans call for opening to the public Newton's Casa de Shenandoah estate, with its South African penguins, sweeping crystal staircases and an antique-filled living room gilded in gold.
The museum, theater, visitors' center and other attractions were being added to the property. The project appeared well under way Sunday, as bits of newly-constructed buildings jutted up behind the 10-foot-tall walls that shield his property from a nearby bustling road.
The 40-acre estate also features Arabian horses, Impressionist paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir and 17th-century antiques collected from European castles. An office to the right of his living room houses mementoes collected during his 50-plus years in show business.
Some of the keepsakes were gifts from the mentors and friends who helped make Newton famous, including Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Bobby Darin and Jack Benny.
Newton, his wife and their daughter are expected to move into a smaller house located on the property, ceding the main house to the public.
Newton has said the tourist attraction will be both a showcase for his collections and a tribute to some of the performers that made Las Vegas a celebrity haven. The revamped estate is expected to employ more than 400 people at a time when unemployment in Nevada is above 13 percent, the highest rate in the nation.
Newton's high-pitched voice made him a Las Vegas headliner decades ago. He became internationally known for his hits "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast," "Red Roses for a Blue Lady," and his signature song "Danke Schoen."
A spokesman for CSD LLC, the company building the attraction, did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday. The project was originally expected to open late this year, but it appeared the grand opening was pushed back.

Progressing a Paradigm Shift in Psychometrics
From PsychWiki - A Collaborative Psychology Wiki
This entry calls for assistance in dealing with a problem that the author, and before him his father, have, between them, been struggling with for 75 years.
More specifically, we would greatly welcome suggestions for alternative ways of thinking about individual differences, references to the work of other researchers who have made significant progress toward developing an alternative conceptual and measurement framework, and suggestions re potential collaborators in taking the work forward.
At the time of writing, it is not entirely clear how the editors of the PsychWiki propose to advance their objective of holding "Virtual Lab Meetings".
Whereas the main Wikipedia specifically discourages original research and personal points of view, a "Lab meeting" starts precisely with one of these and attracts comments like "No. That's not the correct way to think about it. Try this ….". Or "You mean, you've never heard of XYZ's outstanding work …". Such comments provoke lateral thinking even though one disagrees with them.
So how to organise a similar conversation on the Web? Our suggestion is that readers leave this lead page much as it is but copy it into the "Discussion" page and then enter their comments at the precise places where they belong in the text. Subsequent readers can then enter new comments of their own or agree or disagree with the entries of earlier commentators.
The Problem
The fundamental problem with the current psychometric methods and models used by psychologists was noted by Spearman (the father of g) almost a century ago:
"Every normal man, woman, and child is … a genius at something … It remains to discover at what … This must be a most difficult matter, owing to the very fact that it occurs in only a minute proportion of all possible abilities. It certainly cannot be detected by any of the testing procedures at present in current usage."
Of course, many will doubt whether the statement is true.
Unfortunately, as Spearman hints, its truth or otherwise cannot be established via research conducted with measures developed to meet the most widely held expectations.
However, assuming for a moment that it might be true, Spearman's statement, in essence, calls on us to identify precisely what, specifically, each individual is good at. This cannot be done by offering a "profile" over, say, 1 (IQ), 2 (Eductive and Reproductive ability), or 16 (16 PF) "variables".
To do what we are enjoined to do, we would have to develop something akin to the Linnaeus-Darwin classificatory framework in Biology or Dalton's Atomic theory in Chemistry. That is, we would have to abandon our attempt to "measure" everyone, after the manner of physicists, on a limited number of "variables" and, instead, embrace the descriptive procedures of biology and chemistry.
Our own work to date (see eg Raven & Stephenson, 2001) suggests that we need to adopt a two stage (not a two factor) framework to do this effectively and that the requisite framework is at loggerheads with what have, in the past, been taken to be the basic cannons of psychometrics.
One must first identify precisely what it is that an individual is strongly and intrinsically motivated to do. The kinds of things people are strongly predisposed to do are legion and range from developing new scientific theories, through putting people at ease, to robbing banks and creating political turbulence. So we need some kind of classificatory framework (atomic theory) to tell us, by analogy, which of these are "elements" and which are "compounds".
Then we need to be able to identify all the components of competence that can be brought to bear to undertake the chosen activity effectively. These include things like sensitivity to the fleeting feelings on the edge of consciousness which indicate the germ of an idea or a potential problem, ability to use the unconscious, ability to persuade others to help, the ability to initiate 'experimental interactions with the environment' and learn from the effecs of the action, and the ability to persist over a long period of time. It is, however, essential to note that these are all difficult and demanding activities which no one is going to engage in unless they care very strongly about the activity they are undertaking. It therefore makes no sense to try to try to assess people's ability to do such things outwith the context of an activity they are strongly and intrinsically motivated to undertake.
In other words, it makes no sense, (as psychologists have tried to do in the past) to seek to assess such things as "intuitive thinking", "creativity", "self-confidence", or even "the ability to think" in any general way. One must always ask "In relation to what?". People who are highly creative in finding ways of disrupting classroom or social activity are unlikely to display much creativity in art. People who are confident that they can deal with drunks in the street may lack all self confidence if confronted with an academic task.
Thus Spearman may well be right (and, indeed, the available evidence suggests that he is right). Given an appropriate developmental environment, everyone is a genius at something. Everyone is creative at something. Everyone is a superb intuitive thinker about something. The question is "In relation to what?"
But, clearly, one cannot assess these abilities as we have tried to do in the past. It just doesn't make sense. This does not mean that the concepts are meaningless. To draw an analogy. All animals are geniuses at something. Some are good at being dogs. Others at being butterflies. One could develop a couple of thousand scales to assess all animals on "dogginess", "frogginess", flyiness" and so on. But that would be kinda stupid. Furthermore, to be good at being a dog, a frog, a fly (etc.) most animals need a heart, lungs, brain, eyes etc. (Compare: To be good at causing havoc in a classroom one needs to be intuitively sensitive to what is going on, to be creative, to study and learn from the effects of one's actions, to be confident, to persist despite punishment, etc etc. ). It is true that the quality of hearts, lungs, etc. within a species might usefully be assessed. But it would not make any kind of sense to seek to differentiate between animals per se in terms of their "heartiness", lunginess, or eyeiness. By the same token it does not make sense to seek to assess the strength of intuition, the ability to think, self-confidence, or persistence outwith the context of a task that the individual finds engaging.
But note something else. The success with which people are able to undertake their chosen tasks is likely to depend on how many of these independent and substitutable components of competence they bring to bear. Do they turn their emotions into the task, and anticipate obstacles and think of ways round them, and learn from the effects of their actions, and persist over a long period of time? These components of competence therefore operate cumulatively and substitutively, not as an "internally consistent" factor. To predict people's probable success at their chosen tasks, one needs something more like a multiple regression coefficient based on finding out whether they engage in each of a number of, probably relatively independent, but cumulatively necessary, components of competence.
It follows from these remarks that there is no way in which we can get to where we need to get to starting from the traditional preoccupations, thoughtways, and assumptions of psychometricians.
But we haven't yet finished with what we can learn from Spearman because he went on to make two further observations:
- 1. The kinds of tests from the correlations between which his g had emerged "had no place in schools" because they did not encourage teachers to educate – to "draw out" - the diverse talents of their pupils – ie to create multiple individualised developmental programmes that harness each pupil's idiosyncratic motives and lead them to develop the components of competence mentioned above so that they end up with one or other of the seemingly endless distinctive talents they could possess. Stated the other way round, the use of these tests results in schools being destructive, and therefore unethical, institutions because they lead most teachers (and society) to overlook and fail to develop and utilise most people's most important talents.
- 2. These tests had little construct validity. There is, for example, no sense in which a typical "science" test measures scientific competence. It measures the ability to recall, for a brief period of time, a quickly-to-be-forgotten smattering of unrelated scraps of temporary scientific knowledge and routinised techniques.
Ignoring these observations constitutes nothing less than a crime against humanity. Here's why:
Firstly, Because, because by failing to identify people's talents, the tests in current use deprive people of opportunities to gain recognition for, develop and utilise those talents. But they do not just harm people as individuals because, as, Kanter (1985) and others have shown, people contribute in very different ways to the emergent properties of the groups that make the main contributions to the development and survival of organisations. One person is good at noticing a problem, another good at publicising it, another at intervening in the organisation to raise the funds needed to do something about it, another at orchestrating espionage activity to find information relevant to solving it from within other organisations, another at creating the wider political turbulence required to get legislation enacted to create a market for the product, another at soothing out arguments between people within the group … and so on. These contributions do not show up in most staff appraisal and guidance, placement, and development exercises – and still less are they called for in most job descriptions and selection practices. Worse, these neglected talents are the very ones that are required to introduce the radical changes in our way of life that are required if we are to survive as a species. What could be more unethical than contributing to the extinction of our species and the destruction of the planet as we know it?
Secondly, neglecting them contributes directly to the production of thousands of studies which, while billed as contributing to "Evidence Based Practice", are scientifically incompetent and lead to policy decisions that are highly unethical.
Here are a couple of examples from education and "health care".
Many "progressive" educational activities seek to nurture qualities like self-confidence, problem-solving ability, initiative, and the ability to understand and intervene in organisations. Furthermore, they seek to nurture different qualities in different children. Since there are no good measures of outcomes like self confidence, ability to work with others, or ability to understand and intervene in organisations, most comparative evaluations utilise only traditional measures, mostly just of "The 3Rs". Since the "progressive" teachers did not set out to produce higher reading scores (at least as conventionally measured), their pupils do no better on these tests than pupils who have studied in other programmes. Politicians take this as a signal to close the programmes. Yet these are the very educational activities that are required to nurture the talents that are needed to transform our society in such a way that our species will have a chance of survival. (Readers interested in thinking about how the concepts and methods of organisational psychology can be deployed to contribute to the movement toward a learning society should go to Creating_a_Learning_Society:_What_have_Organisational_Psychologists_to_Offer? )
But this is actually the least of the problems these programmes pose for evaluation because many of the teachers concerned set out to nurture different – and idiosyncratic – qualities in different children. Most evaluation designs offer no prospect of documenting growth in multiple, divergent, directions.
The net result of evaluations conducted according to traditional criteria and practice is that neither the beneficial results of the "progressive" programmes nor the detrimental effects of conventional "educational" activities show up. So everyone thinks that the "progressive" programmes are ineffective; a waste of time and money. This results in the perpetuation of conventional educational activities which inflict serious damage on most pupils and, in the long term, on society.
At one level, these unscientific and unethical conclusions stem from the utilisation of what amount to arbitrary selections of measures. At another level they stem from the use of tests that lack construct validity: the use of tests that do not measure reading ability in any meaningful sense of the word, still less problem solving ability or self confidence. And, at yet another level, they stem from an even more fundamental problem: effective educational and developmental activities transform people. Participants do not become more or less of something. Latent motives or talents are stumbled upon and capitalised upon. Ideally, all of the participants develop in different ways.
These problems become still more intractable in the context of attempts to evaluate adult developmental activities. People not only learn how to contribute in very different ways to eg community development projects, they also establish networks of relationships with others which enable them to be different people; to be effective. Thus effectiveness is not, after all, an individual characteristic. But how is this to show up in the evaluations? People have become more competent and confident because, and only because, they are working in a context which respects, harnesses, and builds on their individual motives and talents.
Although it is a digression here, it is not entirely irrelevant to note that these are not the last of the problems that need to be addressed by anyone who who wishes to undertake a serious evaluation of such programmes. This is because many of those concerned have done things like resolve personal problems that have bugged them all their lives. They have met husbands, wives, friends who have, through their complementarity, enabled them to be more competent individuals, more fulfilled people. Such changes cannot show up on conventional, internally-consistent, psychometric tests.
Although it would not be appropraite to discuss them here, the problems these observations pose for evaluation models ss such become even more serious when they are applied to the evaluation of such things as psychotherapy and health care more generally … especially when such evaluations are made mandatory and required for such things as Evidence Based Health Care Treatments and "Payment by results". Once this is done, they make it virtually impossible to even think about, let alone discuss, activities that aim to enhance well being.
Previous attempts to solve the problem
The problems just articulated have, in reality, been noticed by huge numbers of people … but they have not been articulated so crisply as they were by Spearman or discussed in as much detail as here. They have mostly found expression simply as seething rage in conversations in staff common rooms and at meetings of innovators.
One set of attempts to find a solution to the problem emerges in schemes to promote the collection of folios of work by pupils in schools. Most of these collapse. This is partly because the activities on which the folios are based are too school-oriented to have much chance of revealing pupils' motives and talents, and it is partly because they confront their users with the task of sifting through quantities of material and trying to "make sense" of it … ie trying to develop a conceptual classificatory framework of their own and relate the mass of "data" to it. (Of course, these are not the main reasons why such efforts fail. These have much more to do with being driven out by National curricula and mandatory high stakes testing programmes.)
Over the past few years, there has been much talk around the "strengths" movement, most often associated with the name of Seligman. This is not the place to launch into a critique of this work. Suffice it to say that it does not really seem to engage with the multiple talents framework that can be discerned behind our earlier discussion of "progressive education".
The most promising attempt to come to terms with the problems that have been mentioned seems to stem from the work of those of David McClelland's colleagues who developed the scoring system for McClelland's variant of the Thematic Apperception Test known as the "Test of Imagination".
Very few researchers have studied this scoring framework (which constitutes the operational definition of the terms used; what their actual meaning is) with any care. Most simply impose lay interpretations on what are, in reality, technical terms used in a very specific (and, as it happens, misleading) way. And most of the critiques of the framework that are bandied around simply echo those made by others who, without thinking about the actual implications of the operational definitions of the terms or the limitations of conventional psychometric thinking sought, in the early days, to apply unexamined received opinion relating to "standards" in test construction (including such things as internal consistency and validity) to a framework with which they had made no real effort to familiarise themselves. (It is interesting that it has taken half a century for the inappropriateness of applying notions derived from Classical Test Theory to tests developed using Item Response Theory to become even moderately well known.) In spite of attempted developments in psychometry the basic question is about to use Hilbert space as if it were Cartesian space. Furthermore, computer programs calculate on absolute scale. Therefore the problem is more of interpretation than to use as if sophisticated psychometrics.
The McClelland Framework
It is not possible here to present the original framework or the author's reconceptualisation of it in any detail. For that, the reader must turn to eg Raven & Stephenson (eds) (2001). However, in essence, what the scoring system does is first ask "What specific kinds of activity is this person strongly intrinsically motivated to undertake?" and then, and only then, "In relation to that kind of activity (ie not 'in general') which, and more importantly, how many, of a specifiable number of difficult and demanding activities that are likely to enable this individual to undertake that kind of activity effectively does he or she undertake spontaneously?"
At this point we may repeat a couple of points made earlier:
- 1. The kinds of activity people may be strongly predisposed to undertake are legion. So we need some kind of classificatory framework akin to atomic theory in Chemistry to tell us which are elements and which compounds and perhaps to impose some kind of meaningful grouping (not "factor" based) on the list.
- 2. The cumulative and substitutable components of competence that people need to bring to bear to undertake their chosen activities effectively seem to be more limited in number, but they run across cognitive, affective, and conative domains. It is easy to say that they involve cognitive activities like making plans, anticipating obstacles, and "thinking" of ways round the obstacles. Unfortunately, even these, nominally cognitive, activities are, in reality, complex activities having cognitive, affective and conative components. For example "Thinking" means paying attention to feelings (affective) on the edge of consciousness, trying to make them explicit (conation), and initiating action to "test" emergent, usually unverbalised, "hypotheses" and learning (again not usually in a formal, verbalised, manner) from the effects of that action more about the problem itself and the effectiveness of the trial solution. The use of affect involves much more than turning ones emotions into the task. (The source of virtually all "cognitive" activity is primarily affective). Persuading people to help demands complex social skills involving knowledge, sensitivity, planning etc. etc. Yet none of these difficult and demanding abilities can meaningfully be assessed across tasks but only in the context of a task that is individually engaging.
In short, the dominant thoughtways, not only of psychometrics but also of psychology in general, mislead.
From our current viewpoint, the attempt by McClelland and his colleague to produce "motivation" "profiles" was unfortunate. If we are right that people's motivational predispositions are legion yet very specific and persistent over the life cycle, then what one needs is a statement, akin to a chemical description of a substance, about each individual identifying which specific activities he or she is strongly motivated to carry out and which components of competence he or she brings to bear to carry them out.
Having said that, it is immediately obvious that what will happen as the individual is placed in different environments can be modelled in the same way. Chemical substances may be transformed by their environments. They combine with other substances to form new substances having emergent properties that cannot be predicted from summing the components. (Copper is, in a sense, transformed by sulphuric acid to yield copper sulphate which has properties that cannot be predicted in any linear sense by summing the properties of copper, sulphur, and oxygen.) As psychologists, we need to think more carefully both about how people are transformed by their environments and about how they get together with others to form groups having emergent properties that are not the sum of their individual characteristics.
But, then again, although we have not given the necessary background to explicate the statement here, a biological and ecological analogy is probably a more appropriate analogy than a chemical one. Ask yourself where biologists would have got to if they had tried to classify all the animals and plants in terms of their "scores" on 1, 2, or 16 variables, their environments in terms of 10, and then study the effects of the environments on the animals using multiple regression techniques! No. What is needed is something analogous to an ecological framework in which one maps multiple feedback loops between developing organisms and their environments.
What we would like from readers.
As has been indicated, we are none too sure how to progress from the position outlined above. We would therefore greatly welcome any references to the work of researchers who have made significant progress over and above that outlined above. This might include alternative formulations of the problem. We would also greatly welcome any suggestions anyone is able to make toward developing an appropriate classificatory framework. And suggestions readers might have regarding whom we might contact in our search for collaborators who might help us to take the work forward would also be greatly welcomed.
Forthcoming Symposium
The issues raised above will be discussed in a symposium entitled Serious Errors in the Evaluation of Individuals and Programmes Arising from the Use of Tests yielding Arbitrary Metrics and from the deployment of Arbitrary selections of Measures (and their amelioration with the aid of Item Response Theory) which will be held at the conference organised by the International Test Commission in Liverpool, England, from July 13 to 16, 2008.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) – The state of Wisconsin is reworking its jobs site to make it easier for people to post resumes.
The Department of Workforce Development site has plenty of potential. State officials say it saw 6,500 more job listings last year than the year before.
Before, applicants had to put their resume data into a standard form. Now they can post their resume directly or link to an external site.
According to the department, it has been improving the site since its launch in 2008. Besides resume options, the latest improvements include letting users search jobs by keyword, create profiles of themselves that employers can search, and enabling social media.

Great little car gets incredible mileage.
By furtrader on Tuesday, June 18, 2019This car is small but has sufficient room to be comfortable on road trips. It was purchased based on the mileage claims of up to 42 mpg on the highway. The claims were off - it averages 41 mpg and has gotten up to 48 mpg while not running the AC and keeping speed below 75 mph. It is easy to park and performs exceedingly well on curvy roads. Given the mileage numbers, acceleration is way better than expected.

Agile, easy driving, good mpg, with history of rel
By kpg5233 on Wednesday, December 05, 2018Agile handling with good road feel, braking is uniform and excellent, low noise at cruising speed, CVT with standard first gear gives very good acceleration. Rear seat room adequate with restricted egress, fit and finish very good, as expected. Controls and switches feel solid and logically arranged. 2000 mile freeway trip cruising at 75 to 85 mph felt stable and effortless, low noise, with 38 to 42 mpg. Nokian tires on now for winter use, function well. Needed smaller hatchback with primary use in town - pleased with the vehicle, model XSE. For comparison, other auto is Lexus GS 350 AWD. Both are passenger vehicles, comfortable, and reliable.
