Comparison of Audio System Nonlinear Performance in Volterra Space
A differential Volterra series representation is used to compare the nonlinear performance of similar audio systems that differ due to system intolerances or minor design variations. In contrast with single or multi-function sinusoidal detection tests, the Volterra series represents a frequency dependent nonlinear model that predicts the performance of a DUT for arbitrary signals. Direct system comparison is performed in the frequency domain transformed from the Volterra model. The technique is demonstrated for second and third-order nonlinearities using measurement data derived from two moving-coil loudspeakers with subtle design variations.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Fourteen alleged members of a San Francisco street gang have been indicted by a federal grand jury on racketeering and conspiracy charges for a series of violent crimes, including a 2011 shooting death.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/1cYhoio) the defendants, members of the Surenos gang, were named in an indictment unsealed in U.S. District Court on Thursday.
It accuses the defendants of conspiring to kill rival Norteno gang members. Two men, Jairo Hernandez and Carlos Vasquez, are accused of murder. The indictment doesn't name the victim.
If convicted of the murder charge, Hernandez and Vasquez could face the death penalty or a mandatory minimum sentence of life in prison.

I've been trying to install wordpress for the last few days. Every time I get to the last step, it says page not found etc.
The only thing that is a possible problem is that my text editor (TextEdit on a Mac) won't let me re-save the config file as .php, only as .php.txt.
Do you think that this is the problem? I can't rename it in any way without it ammending itself.
Otherwise, I havge followed the instructions to the letter.
I am using filezilla on a Mac and hosted by godaddy (I have also tried uploading using the ftp page on godaddy's site itself.)

City Please Don't Push the Pedestrians
posted by June 7 at 15:35 PMon
As a loser pedestrian, with no car or plans to get one, I've LONG been annoyed with how Seattle drivers stop traffic to give you a little condescending wave-wave to cross the street. Happens every frickin' day. It just happened at lunch. Did you ever stop to think, that if I'm not waiting at a cross walk, maybe I don't want to walk in front of your car? Maybe I'd rather wait until the street is empty? I used to live in Detroit. You definitely WAIT for the streets to clear there. You don't dare even trust the crosswalks. People there, they drive fast, and they drive HARD.
And in Michigan, crazy things like THIS happen.

It's KDE Plasma 5.3 day!
Just a day after the KDE Plasma 5.3 Beta release is the availability of KDE Applications 15.04.0.
Being released this morning is the first beta of Plasma 5.3, which is officially Plasma 5.2.95.
KDE Frameworks 5.9.0 was released on Friday as the newest version of the KDE libraries that complement Qt 5.
While the digiKam digital photography software is still being ported to KDE Frameworks 5, release today was the latest KDE4-based digiKam release.
For users of KDE's Krita digital painting / raster graphics editor, the Qt5 port of the program won't be fully ready for at least another half-year, but it's being done right.
KDE developers have been porting their Plasma 5 + KDE Frameworks 5 stack over to Wayland, but at this point it's not nearly as mature as the GNOME Wayland support. As such, KDE developers have to fend off questions from time-to-time why they don't "just integrate QtCompositor" or the Weston library for speeding up their efforts.
Martin Gräßlin has shared some of his recently-landed work for the KWin 5.3 development cycle as it largely pertains to Wayland.
When recently covering how Kubuntu 15.04 is turning out quite well and a nice way to enjoy the latest KDE Plasma 5 experience, several Phoronix readers had commented about the "ugly" wallpaper. Well, now here's your chance to improve the situation.
In light of the GNOME Nuntius announcement for delivering Android notifications to the GNOME desktop via Bluetooth, several Phoronix readers have pointed out that last week the KDE Connector project received a Bluetooth back-end.
The latest addition to KDE Applications 15.04 after Kdenlive was added is KDE Telepathy.
KDE developer David Edmundson has made some more progress with improving the high DPI display experience with KDE applications.
For users of KDE's Calligra open-source work application suite, improvements to ODF file format reading have landed.
Last month there was a long overdue development update on Kdenlive, an open-source video editor associated with the KDE camp. Today comes more exciting news for anyone using this video editor on Linux.
Krita 2.9 was released today and it's this open-source graphics program's biggest release yet. Krita 2.9 represents over eight months of work and with this release comes many new features.
KDE's KWin window manager maintainer Martin Gräßlin has been working recently on rootless XWayland server integration into KWin.
The KDE community has today announced the first bug-fix release to Plasma 5.2.
With Libinput support being important not only for Wayland input but also is starting to be used for X11/X.Org input too, the KDE input configuration module now supports configuring libinput devices.
Last week after wondering the state of OpenShot 2.0, there was a long overdue update on OpenShot, a promising open-source video editor that hasn't seen a major release in years. Today there's an update to share on Kdenlive, the open-source KDE video editor.
The KDE community has done a Valentine's weekend release of KDE Frameworks 5.7.0, the newest version of the add-on libraries used by KDE applications, KDE Plasma 5, and a growing number of other projects like LXQt.
OwnCloud Server 8 has been released this morning and with it comes improved sharing and collaboration between clouds and other features.
For those wondering how KDE Plasma 5 -- and other desktop environments -- have come to begin utilizing systemd,
DigiKam Software Collection 4.7.0 was released today while this digital photography management software is still being ported to Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5.
KDE Plasma 5.2 was just released a few days ago but for power KDE Plasma 5.3 are already exciting features building up, including greater power management capabilities.
In addition to KDE Plasma 5.2 bringing many new features with today's release, it also addresses some security vulnerabilities concerning KDE's screen locker. Of course, to any longtime Phoronix readers following our frequent X11/X.Org coverage, this hardly comes as a surprise.
The KDE community officially released Plasma 5.2 this morning as the quarterly update to KDE's desktop shell powered by Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5.
Martin Gräßlin has fixed some outstanding bugs and further tuned the performance of the KWin window manager for the KDE Plasma 5 stack.
For KDE users on Fedora, the Fedora 22 release is seeking to focus on the still-maturing Plasma 5 shell that's powered by KDE Frameworks 5 and Qt5.
KDE Frameworks 5.6.0 was released a few days ago and Plasma 5.2 will be out later this month. Meanwhile, the KDE Applications release is coming out in April.
The first beta release of KDE Plasma 5.2 is now available ahead of its planned official release later this month.
577 KDE news articles published on Phoronix.

SEABROOK, Texas (AP) - A fiery explosion has happened at an industrial plant in the Houston area.
The Pasadena Fire Department was assisting with an accident reported shortly before 9 a.m. Wednesday in the Seabrook area.
Dispatcher Christine Peregrino told The Associated Press that the department was responding to a "small, contained fire" and no injuries were immediately reported. She had no further details.
Black smoke from the plant near the Houston Ship Channel could be seen for miles.
Live TV coverage showed gaping holes in a multistory tank at an industrial complex. Debris could be seen near the mangled, blackened equipment.
Emergency crews were pouring water on the tank and nearby equipment.
April Newberry, who lives a half-mile from the site, told KTRK-TV that she heard a loud boom, "all of the houses shook and everybody went out in the street to see what happened."

Genre: All-Sex
Destined for your oral section. Emphasize the unknown Euro-gals.
With more uncut meat on display than an explosion in a Polish sausage factory, this all-oral/all the time import relies on quantity rather than quality to make its point. A budding moyel, if so inclined, could fashion himself a nifty set of luggage from all the unused yardage of tips.
Videography is uniformly crisp and close - yet, curiously, an authentic subjective male POV shot is not to be found among a variety of arousing angles. Most welcome is an infrequently-employed composition, wherein a standing girl hovers over her partner, legs akimbo as she bends down to suck him off - all the while, her boobs swaying in accord to her oral ministrations. When shot from below, the image is arresting.
Things come to a head when it becomes obvious that the plain Janes outnumber the uberbabes on roughly a three-to-one ratio (which accounts for skill as well as attendance). If the kind of eye-watering deep throat experience one might reasonably expect is conspicuously absent, we can't fault the gals for trying. As salty dog suckers, they have so many different personalities! There's the swallower, the gulper, the dribbler, the gagger ... it almost sounds like a police lineup of villains from a bad superhero movie.
For warm-ups, some intros take the path leading to female masturbation. Others begin with lesbian tongue-lashings. (For those who find their time monopolized by such fluff, many scenes pass tease and go directly to boardwalk hotels.)

CleanTech Challenge
The CleanTech challenge is a global competition for innovative clean technology business ideas.
Clean tech innovation is crucial to the planet's future. Have you got a business idea to develop that could make a difference?
The CleanTech Challenge, run by UCL in partnership with the London Business School, is a global competition for innovative clean technology business ideas.
It brings together students from around the world to help them develop their business ideas in a 3-stage competition that offers them the chance to win a £10,000 prize.
Launched in 2009, the Challenge begins with submitting your idea for a new green business. The most viable start-ups will be invited to a 2-day bootcamp where you'll be mentored by industry experts from the cleantech and entrepreneurial sectors. Your business concepts will be judged by experts – and while the winners will go on to receive £10,000, all participants will gain great opportunities to network, receive guidance, feedback and mentoring, and sharpen their entrepreneurial skills while addressing environmental challenges.
You'll also get to be part of a multi-disciplinary team, join a global network of engineering and business students, and contribute to a sector that's of vital importance.
Previous winning concepts include 'Urban Solar Panels', solar panels that are specifically engineered to be easily integrated into an urban environment – an innovation that came from a team from Holland's University of Delf. There's also wind turbines specially designed for low-speed winds, solar powered bicycle networks, an aerosol control technology that reduces particulate emissions from diesel engines, and an innovative idea to improve the efficiency of solar cells using nanostructures.

Welcome to Struts DataSource Manager, a sub-system for managing DataSources under Struts-based web applications.
The first release is able to load DataSources independently from Struts configuration files. If something goes wrong, the application loads anyway. It also can "distribute" DataSources to business delegates, avoiding to call the "getDataSource" method from Action classes and thus allowing a better separation between Controller and Model layers of the MVC architecture.
This first release version is numbered "0.0.1" and is in the pre-alpha stage, but its code is taken and modified from the original Struts 1.2.4 code, so I think it is pretty stable.
See the homepage for other informations.

Thanks for making this plugin! For some reason It doesn't appear to be creating sliders successfully. I add images, titles, etc. and click "Submit Lenslider Data". The page reloads empty and no sliders are listed under the "Sliders List".
There are also entries added to the media library but they are added without the actual images (Just titles, etc.). Any ideas?

DentalInsurance.com provides individuals, families, and businesses a wide selection of quality dental plans from top carriers. Get a quote now to compare dental plans and dental insurance in Washington.
Washington Dental Insurance
The different types of dental insurance in Washington are:
Washington dental discount plans offer immediate coverage and allow for unlimited use of services by using a Washington dental network and are based on a discounted fee schedule. The cost of a discount card is small compared to the potential savings an individual or family could gain from a discount card.
DHMOs have low premiums and no waiting periods, deductibles, or plan maximums. If a Washington dentist does not accept DHMOs, plan subscribers can go to any Washington dentist that is in-network. With Washington DHMO plans, patients are responsible for the co-payment at the time of service.
A Washington fee schedule works similar to a Washington PPO. Fee schedule plans provide reimbursement for a specific amount based on a fee schedule, with any balance due being the patient's responsibility. In general, Washington fee schedule insurance plans have lower premiums than Washington PPO and indemnity plans. These plans provide co-insurance if patients go to in-network Washington dentists; out-of-network benefits are paid according to the fee schedule.

Methods to evaluate the performance of segmentation algorithms for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are developed, based on known properties of coherent speckle and a scene model in which areas of constant backscatter coefficient are separated by abrupt edges. Local and global measures of segmentation homogeneity are derived and applied to the outputs of two segmentation algorithms developed for SAR data, one based on iterative edge detection and segment growing, the other based on global maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation using simulated annealing. The quantitative statistically based measures appear consistent with visual impressions of the relative quality of the segmentations produced by the two algorithms. On simulated data meeting algorithm assumptions, both algorithms performed well but MAP methods appeared visually and measurably better. On real data, MAP estimation was markedly the better method and retained performance comparable to that on simulated data, while the performance of the other algorithm deteriorated sharply. Improvements in the performance measures will require a more realistic scene model and techniques to recognize oversegmentation

|ESPN.com: NBA Playoffs 2008
|[Print without images]
Game 5 has the Orlando Magic sitting exactly where they want to be in this series -- playing at home with a chance to close out the Toronto Raptors. The Magic seem to have found the right combination to stifle the Raptors. Their 3-pointers, drives, post-ups and their forward combination of Hedo Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis continue to provide matchup problems for Toronto. Both Turkoglu and Lewis were more aggressive off the dribble in Game 4, putting the ball on the floor and attacking the basket rather than settling for 3s. Both found themselves either matched up with a smaller defender like Anthony Parker or Jamario Moon, or a bigger, slower defender like Andrea Bargnani. The Raptors can match Chris Bosh with Lewis, but that leaves them lacking for an adequate defender for Turkoglu. Even when Toronto had those two in check, Orlando got 3-point shots and big fourth-quarter baskets from Jameer Nelson and Keith Bogans, so the Raptors have to hope that Nelson and Bogans don't step up big in two consecutive games. When the Magic get their offense rolling at home and the crowd is energized, they can tend to fall in love with the 3-point shot, which not only gave them huge first-half leads in Games 1 and 2, but also allowed the Raptors back in those games when the shots went cold. Look for Magic coach Stan Van Gundy to continue to emphasize balance and keep Turkoglu and Lewis in a driving mode. Defensively, the Raptors will try to turn Game 5 into a fast-paced, helter-skelter frenzy filled with quick 3s and hurried shots. Look for Van Gundy to use an early timeout as soon as he sees any signs that the Magic are getting caught up in the kind of game that favors the Raptors. Toronto just has no answer for how to neutralize Dwight Howard, who always seems to end up right in front of the rim with a Raptors player on his back. All of Orlando's ball screen action sends Howard to the rim after the screen -- he is no threat to pick and pop, and only on occasion will he shoot anything resembling a jump shot. When he catches in the lane or in the post, it is strictly a power game, and the Raptors have tried Bosh, Bargnani and Rasho Nesterovic, as well as combinations of other defenders to try and stop Howard. When he is denied the entry pass, he has been devastating on the offensive boards, sealing his defender on his back. It might be time for the Raptors to go to a "Hack a Dwight"-type strategy. Howard is shooting 65 percent from the field and only 53 percent from the free-throw line. He was only 1-for-6 in Game 4, and has made just nine of his last 23 free throws, so look for Toronto to wrap him up, foul him often and keep him from igniting the crowd with his dunking repertoire. This might be the only way the Raptors can disrupt Howard's rhythm, and it could cause him to pick up a frustration foul or two on the defensive end. With the success of Jason Kapono in this series, the Raptors added some sets to free him for shots in Game 4, using Parker to screen block-to-block to bring Kapono all the way across the floor to catch and shoot or attack the lane quickly. This leaves Parker to then curl to the top of the key off of a double screen for his jump shot -- something Toronto had some success with. However, Toronto's shooters are at their best in more of a drive-and-pitch game, with the floor spread out and T.J. Ford and Jose Calderon creating havoc off the dribble. In the second half of Games 1 and 2, as well as in its Game 3 win, Toronto's guards were flying off of ball screens and creating for its 3-point shooters, who were just reading and spotting up. Calderon must look to score more than he did in Game 4, and Ford must make better decisions on his penetrations, as he took some ill-advised jump shots early in the shot clock in critical situations late in Game 4. Bosh has been magnificent in this series, and expect another big game from him, getting jump shots by stepping off the lane and driving at Howard and Lewis. He did major damage on the offensive glass in Game 4, so look for him to get more easy baskets if the Raptors run it loose offensively. When the Raptors do get into the half-court set, expect them to go back to a steady diet of high-elbow ball screens, which have Calderon and Ford tearing around the corners and Bosh and Bargnani spotting up for jump shots or drives to the middle. The Magic have had trouble guarding this action, and also look for more ball screens that involve Dwight Howard's man, as Howard played goalie in Game 4 with eight blocks. The Raptors have to get him away from the basket to have any success. In Game 5, expect the Raptors to play with reckless abandon at both ends of the floor -- throwing everything but the kitchen sink at the Magic on defense and having no inhibitions offensively. Down 3-1, the Raptors are as dangerous as their nickname suggests, and Orlando must not get caught up in the frenzy or it will find itself right back in Toronto again.

An Empirical Comparison of Random Number Generators: Period, Structure, Correlation, Density, and Efficiency
Date: August 1995
Creator: Bang, Jung Woong
Description: Random number generators (RNGs) are widely used in conducting Monte Carlo simulation studies, which are important in the field of statistics for comparing power, mean differences, or distribution shapes between statistical approaches. Statistical results, however, may differ when different random number generators are used. Often older methods have been blindly used with no understanding of their limitations. Many random functions supplied with computers today have been found to be comparatively unsatisfactory. In this study, five multiplicative linear congruential generators (MLCGs) were chosen which are provided in the following statistical packages: RANDU (IBM), RNUN (IMSL), RANUNI (SAS), UNIFORM(SPSS), and RANDOM (BMDP). Using a personal computer (PC), an empirical investigation was performed using five criteria: period length before repeating random numbers, distribution shape, correlation between adjacent numbers, density of distributions and normal approach of random number generator (RNG) in a normal function. All RNG FORTRAN programs were rewritten into Pascal which is more efficient language for the PC. Sets of random numbers were generated using different starting values. A good RNG should have the following properties: a long enough period; a well-structured pattern in distribution; independence between random number sequences; random and uniform distribution; and a good normal approach in the normal ...

Endogenous Constructivist Implications for Methodology : Focus on Young Children with Developmental Delay in the Social and Emotional Domains
Date: December 1998
Creator: McCrary, Donna E. (Donna Evelyn)
Description: The Ecologically-Based Activity Plan (EBAP) is proposed as a method to create a transition between special education and general education. It serves as a tool to help classroom teachers assess the environment of the class and as a method for embedding instruction within the naturally occurring context of the endogenous constructivist classroom. In this study the EBAP was used to reduce aggressive behavior and increase prosocial behavior among five children who displayed developmental delays in the social and emotional domains.

Enhanced learning performance in the middle school classroom through increased student motivation, by the use of educational software and question-based gaming technology.
Date: December 2006
Creator: Dorr, David L.
Description: The purpose of this research was to determine if the introduction of a competitive and collaborative computer-based gaming software system into middle school classrooms would result in improved attendance and grades, and motivate students to have a greater interest in their studies. This study was conducted over a 6 week period, with attendance and performance data being collected from 284 students. Two quantitative surveys were used to measure course interest and motivation: (a) the Course Interest Survey (CIS), and (b) the Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS). Participation in these surveys consisted of 84 students taking the CIS and 40 students taking the IMMS. The results indicated that the experimental group showed statistically better scores than the comparison group in attendance and performance. Students participating in the experimental group had significantly lower mean ranks of absenteeism compared to students in the comparison group. Results also revealed significant differences on grades. Students that were in the experimental group had significantly higher grades compared to students that were in the comparison group. Results of the CIS suggest that a statistically significant difference does not exist on Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction between the experimental and comparison groups. Results of the means and standard ...

Enhancing skill maintenance through relapse prevention strategies: a comparison of two models.
Date: May 2004
Creator: Hutchins, Holly M.
Description: In a quasi-experimental field study, two posttraining interventions composed of relapse prevention (RP) strategies were compared and tested for the effects on participant transfer outcomes. Participant retention of training content, skill maintenance, use of relapse prevention strategies, and self-efficacy served as the dependent variables. Self-efficacy was also tested as a mediator between the experimental treatment levels and both participant skill maintenance and participant use of RP strategies. Participants (n = 39) included managers, directors, and supervisors from various departments within a multi-national telecommunications organization located in a large southern city. After participating in a four-hour leadership development training, two of the three groups participated in a 30-40 minute training where they received one of two RP interventions. One intervention included the steps of (1) identifying potential obstacles to positive training transfer, (2) predicting the first lapse to pretraining behavior, and (3) applying relevant coping strategies to thwart a lapse. The alternative RP intervention included the same steps in addition to a goal setting step. Descriminant descriptive analysis was used to test for group differences across the response variables and to identify on which variables the groups differed. Three separate regression equations were used to test for the mediating relationship of ...

Equivalency of paper-pencil tests and computer-administered tests.
Date: May 2001
Creator: Whitworth, Clifford K.
Description: Are computer-administered versions of a multiple choice paper-pencil test equivalent? This study determined whether there were any significant differences between taking a traditional pencil-paper test and taking the same test using a computer. The literature has shown that there are intervening variables that have caused differences when not controlled. To prove equivalency between test modes, scores have to have similar means, dispersions, and shapes; the ranked-order of the scores must also be similar. Four tests were given over the course of a 16-week semester. The sample was divided, half taking paper-pencil tests and half taking the same test administered by a computer. The mode of administration was switched with each test administration. The analysis showed that, when the intervening variables were controlled, the two modes of administration were equivalent. The analysis used a 2x4 ANOVA, which showed no difference between test modes, but showed that each test administration was significantly different. The Levene statistic was used to test whether dispersions were equivalent and confidence intervals were established to test the kurtosis and skewness statistics. Finally, each of the test scores were transformed into their Normal Curve Equivalents so that Pearson's coefficient could be used to determine the equivalency of the ...

Establishing the utility of a classroom effectiveness index as a teacher accountability system.
Date: May 2002
Creator: Bembry, Karen L.
Description: How to identify effective teachers who improve student achievement despite diverse student populations and school contexts is an ongoing discussion in public education. The need to show communities and parents how well teachers and schools improve student learning has led districts and states to seek a fair, equitable and valid measure of student growth using student achievement. This study investigated a two stage hierarchical model for estimating teacher effect on student achievement. This measure was entitled a Classroom Effectiveness Index (CEI). Consistency of this model over time, outlier influences in individual CEIs, variance among CEIs across four years, and correlations of second stage student residuals with first stage student residuals were analyzed. The statistical analysis used four years of student residual data from a state-mandated mathematics assessment (n=7086) and a state-mandated reading assessment (n=7572) aggregated by teacher. The study identified the following results. Four years of district grand slopes and grand intercepts were analyzed to show consistent results over time. Repeated measures analyses of grand slopes and intercepts in mathematics were statistically significant at the .01 level. Repeated measures analyses of grand slopes and intercepts in reading were not statistically significant. The analyses indicated consistent results over time for reading ...

An evaluation of job satisfaction among salespersons in a small department store using four psychological measures.
Date: May 2002
Creator: Webb, Ruth Sherrill
Description: The purpose of this study was to examine the potential of three independent psychological scales (Rotter's Locus of Control, Karasek's Job Content Questionnaire [non-injury job stress], and Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale) to predict job satisfaction, as measured by Brayfield and Rothe's Index of Job Satisfaction, among salespersons in a small independent department store in Wichita Falls, Texas. An 82-item survey which examined the dynamics of a salesperson's work life was administered to 20 individuals who were full-time employees of the department store. Demographic data were also gathered although these factors were not entered into the regression analysis. A multiple regression procedure examined the responses of the 20 employees who participated in the study. The R-squared coefficient indicates that 41 percent of the variance in Job Satisfaction was explained by the three predictor measures. A major proportion of this unexplained variance may be in variables outside the scope of this study, e.g., salaries, vacation time, benefits, bonuses, or commissions. Results suggest that the independent variables measured by the Locus of Control Scale and the Job Content Questionnaire in combination were the best predictors of job satisfaction with a significance level of .01. The single best predictor was the Job Content Questionnaire, significant ...

An examination of computer anxiety related to achievement on paper-and-pencil and computer-based aircraft maintenance knowledge testing of United States Air Force technical training students.
Date: May 2002
Creator: McVay, Richard B.
Description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether varying levels of computer anxiety have an effect on computer-based testing of United States Air Force technical training students. The first chapter presents an overview of computer-based testing, defines key terms, and identifies questions addressed in the research. The rationale for conducting this study was that little research had been done in this area. The second chapter contains a review of the pertinent literature related to computer-based testing, computer anxiety, test reliability, validity, and gender differences in computer use. Due to the lack understanding concerning any effects of computer anxiety on computer-based testing, this has been a worthwhile topic to explore, and it makes a significant contribution to the training field. The third chapter describes the qualitative research methodology used to conduct the study. The primary methodology was an analysis of variance comparison for groups of individuals who displayed high or low computer anxiety to their respective mean computer-based or paper-based aircraft maintenance knowledge testing scores. The research population consisted of United States Air Force aircraft maintenance craftsmen students attending training at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas. The fourth chapter details the findings of the study. The findings indicate that there ...

An Examination of Factors Related to the Cognitive and Affective Empathy Levels of Adjudicated Youth
Date: August 2000
Creator: Broom, Ellen Wildemann
Description: With the advent of increased juvenile delinquency in our nation, the need for prevention and rehabilitation is paramount. Juvenile delinquent acts are becoming more serious and violent with offenders perpetrating at younger ages. Analysis suggests an increase in juvenile crime in the near future (Stone, 2000). Pinpointing the cause of delinquency is an arduous task because of the many contributing factors (e.g., impulsivity, aggression, low intellect, poor family attachment, drug, and alcohol abuse). By changing the emotional deficits found in beginning delinquency, the likelihood of developing delinquent behavior may be impeded. Research indicates that adolescents who commit crimes are lacking in empathy (e.g., Aleksic, 1975; Cohen & Strayer, 1996; Ellis, 1982; Gibbs, 1987; Marcus & Gray, 1998), thus, promoting empathy may be an avenue for prevention and rehabilitation. This study examined the levels of empathy of adjudicated youth in four juvenile correctional facilities in Texas. Using the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), empathy levels of 170 youth were examined. Youth in the study demonstrated low levels of empathy. The study found that empathy levels of adjudicated youth were differentiated by incarcerating facility, IQ, type of offense, disability status, and phase level of a re-socialization training program. Age was not found to ...

Examination of Web-based teaching strategies at the University of North Texas.
Date: August 2005
Creator: Ray, Julie B.
Description: This study examined the degree to which University of North Texas (UNT) instructors involved in Web-based instruction are implementing teaching strategies as identified in Chickering and Gamson's (1987) model, seven principles for good practice in undergraduate education. In addition, the study examined training received by instructors in developing and delivering a Web-based course and the relationships between their training and reported use of the teaching strategies in the seven principles. The study also examined the relationship between the number of Web-based courses taught and the use of the teaching strategies. Seventy-two surveys were distributed, with a return rate of 90.3%. Results of the first three research questions were as follows: (a) Self-taught (49%) and UNT Center for Distributed Learning (CDL) (31%) were the most frequently used types of training in preparation for teaching a Web-based course, whereas peer taught (17%) and conferences/workshops (3%) were the least used; (b) the average number of Web-based courses taught by the instructors was M = 8.26; and (c) the most frequently used principles were "Gives prompt feedback" and "Communicates high expectations." UNT CDL assists faculty with the development and delivery of online courses, offering a series of training courses to better prepare faculty to ...

Differences in Tips
Illegal tip pools can cause great headaches, or worse, for restaurant owners. Recently, a spate of tip-pooling lawsuits, from Les Halles in New York all the way to the giants Hard Rock Café and Starbucks has gotten many restaurant owners worried if they might be next.
Well, not to worry. It isn't as tricky as all the litigation might lead one to believe. There are a few federal parameters to keep in mind. Beyond that, be sure to check with your state's labor board, as some states have a few more stringent rules that go beyond the federal tip pool regulations.
First a few definitions, to highlight the differences between tip pooling and tip sharing:
- Tip pooling: A collection of tips divided among employees who regularly receive them. Tip pools are common in any environment in which it is not always clear for whom a tip is meant. This includes bars, coffee shops, buffet meals, delis and other counter service operations.
- Tip sharing: Tip sharing is when tipped employees give a percentage of their tips to other employees, such as bartenders or table bussers.
Some Rules with Tipping
This article addresses legal issues revolving around tip pooling, not tip sharing. Tip sharing is legal under the Fair Labor Standards Act, as long as employees are not required to share tips with employees who do not engage in customer service, such as kitchen or janitorial staff.
Now. Tip pooling. Keep these three rules in mind and you won't end up like Mario Batali:
- Only employees who "regularly and customarily" receive tips are allowed to share in the tip pool. This means that requiring tipped staff to share tips with kitchen or janitorial staff is illegal under federal law.
- Employers are not allowed to share in tip pools. Sometimes, the line between an employer and employee is a bit blurry. Low-level supervisors are allowed to participate in tip pools. So, how do you know who's who for sure? The FLSA defines an employer as "any person acting directly or indirectly in the interest of an employer in the relation to an employee" (Source). Generally speaking, an individual is considered an employer if he or she can hire and fire employees, control the schedule, determine pay rates and maintain employment records. (Source).
- Employees must not be required to contribute more than what is "customary and reasonable." Ah yes, now that's nice and clear, isn't it? In the past, the Department of Labor has set the "customary and reasonable" rate at 15 percent of an employee's earned tips (Source).
See? That's not so hard! Mario Batali was probably just too busy picking out his shoes to make sure he was following the rules. To keep your restaurant out of hot water, follow the federal regulations and double check with your state labor board.

The Effects of Relative Food Prices on Obesity – Evidence from China: 1991-2006
This paper explores the effects of relative food prices on body weight and body fat over time in China. We study a cohort of 15,000 adults from over 200 communities in China, using the longitudinal China Health and Nutrition Survey (1991-2006). While we find that decreases in the price of energy-dense foods have consistently led to elevated body fat, this price effect does not always hold for body weight. These findings suggest that changes in food consumption patterns induced by varying food prices can increase percentage body fat to risky levels even without substantial weight gain. In addition, food prices and subsidies could be used to encourage healthier food consumption patterns and to curb obesity.

NEW DELHI (January 13, 2014) It's been three years since the last polio case was reported in India, which puts the country on course to being formally declared polio-free in March.
The World Health Organization still needs to confirm there are no undetected cases before making the official declaration.
Polio is a vaccine-preventable disease that has been eradicated in most countries, but it still causes paralysis or death in some parts of the world, including Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Despite India's success against the disease, vaccination campaigns came too late for many of the country's residents.
Polio victims with withered, twisted limbs are a common sight on the streets of Indian cities.

Georgia Restores Gun Rights To Ex-Cop Who Tried To Sexually Assault A Woman With His Gun
CREDIT: Shutterstock
A Georgia appeals courts decision upholding the sexual assault conviction of a former cop named Dennis Krauss is difficult to read. According to the record in Krauss' trial, the former officer was dispatched to the home of a woman who called 911 alleging that her husband had hit her. Rather than arresting the husband, however, Krauss asked the victim to ride with him in his police car. Once she was in his car, "Krauss told the victim that he could take her to jail if he wanted to" or, if she did not want to be arrested, she could have sex with him instead. Krauss' words, according to the court opinion, were "[w]e can go to the motel or you can go to jail."
At the motel, Krauss drew his service weapon and told the woman that he wanted to anally penetrate her with the gun. When she refused, and began to cry, "Krauss then pushed her back, pulled off her pants, and had sex with her." And then he drove her home to the same husband that led her to call the police in the first place.
Krauss was convicted of sexual assault against a person in custody, and this one instance of sexual assault is far from the only allegation against him. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "[h]is record was filled with allegations of misconduct: that he beat a prisoner so severely the man's brain bled; that he threatened to fabricate charges against a suspect so he could sleep with the man's wife; that he pressured at least 10 women for sex to avoid arrest." The former cop, for his part, is unrepentant. When asked about his sexual assault conviction, he claims that "[t]here wasn't any crime," and that "I was dealt a bad hand."
And yet, in July of 2013, the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles restored Krauss' right to carry a firearm. According to a Journal-Constitution tally, he is one of 358 violent felons who regained these rights over a six year period. That includes 32 violent felons who killed someone, and 44 who committed sex crimes. One man regained his right to own a gun in 2012 after serving a 10 year sentence for child molestation and aggravated child molestation. Some offenders regained their gun rights after being convicted of crimes such as armed robbery, burglary or aggravated assault.
The pardon board's decisions to restore gun rights to these offenders is consistent with a broader culture of permissiveness regarding firearms that pervades Georgia's government. Last April, Gov. Nathan Deal (R) signed a bill that former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' organization, Americans for Responsible Solutions, described as "the most extreme gun bill in America." The new law permits guns in bars, churches, nightclubs and libraries. It eliminates criminal charges against people who bring guns into places, such as airports, where firearms are forbidden. It expands the state's Stand Your Ground law to allow felons to invoke this defense. And it permits certain teachers and school administrators to carry guns inside their schools.

Commercial Financing: Small Business Cash Advances
Why are mobile home parks the "red-headed stepchildren" in the commercial real estate property investment world? To determine what it is that analysts do, it's important to comprehend the deal cycle from the corporate cedar finance review 2013 department. Agencies much like the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC) are approved to accredit online programs.
The premier strategy is called Mandura. However, if you've got the knowledge it is possible to do just as well as the Donald Trump in tangible estate. Called "contract for sale" or other names too, this just means owner lets you create payments, and delivers the title upon payment completely.
We all prefer to think that it's because they setup processes for in with all the business environment. This may be accomplished by discussing in addition to them for today's truck owner in as a result of day maybe month-to-month charges. Sadly, not many are privileged to have money.
Just ask Jim Clayton of Clayton homes who sold his company and portfolio of camper parks to Warren Buffett for a cool $1.7 Billion dollars! After all, many analysts wrack up double the amount hours with the average worker and have to perform their work at an intensity level that is among the highest inside the business world. No more chasing relatives and buddies.
Third, the tobacco producers can absorb a considerable portion in the tax burden after they face difficulty in passing it backwards to help keep volume of sales intact in the situation where price increases gradually. The real windfall of investment banking for most people is the boost it gives with their career because in the experience they gain. Although everybody is attracted to investment banking because of the high pay, the intense lifestyle causes many to depart after just a few years.
A repossession is different than an off lease since it has arisen due to a default with the lessee for non payment terms or perhaps a violation with the terms from the lease. You typically utilize this type of financing for a "fix and flip." You can often have the money fast, if you make $30,000 over a project, who cares if you paid $10,000 interest in six months. I will believe that most of the training will be "Old school" techniques.
That is why it are very good to obtain the particular repayment schedule you'll be able to pay to keep to. Finances reasonably, too set up besides whenever anybody can to pay toward your small business's outstanding consumer debt. Other kinds of analysis that investment banking analysts could be called upon to prepare include leveraged buyout models (LBOs) and precedent transactions analyses (just like comps).
Additionally, there are 2 distinct financing markets around, one for your normal acquisition from your dealership and the possibility of acquiring a repo and off lease coming from a lender at favorable market and financing terms. The bread and butter with the analyst position could be the comparable companies analysis or "comps." Comps can be a valuation methodology where public firms that are comparable to the company under consideration are used to create multiples where the value of the company could be extrapolated. The historical tax line on bidi and cigarette implies that there is really a negative correlation between cigarettes and Bidi tax revenue, which eventually proves that taxing lower brand or bidi more must have extensive switching effect (Figure-3).By carolineloveless

2 Pa. women charged with theft from dead grandpa
Published: Friday, January 8, 2010 at 11:21 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 8, 2010 at 11:21 a.m.
GREENSBURG, Pa. (AP) — Two western Pennsylvania women are charged with stealing farm equipment from one of the women's dead grandfather's garage, then returning the items for credit slips which they pawned for cash.
Police say 33-year-old Samantha Pirl and 22-year-old Amanda Harris, both of Greensburg, were charged theft and other crimes Thursday. The incidents allegedly happened in June 2008.
Police say Pirl took seven agricultural sprayers from her dead grandfather's garage. She allegedly paid Harris and two others who have not been charged $20 to $40 to return them to tractor supply stores for credit. Pirl and Harris then took the gift cards they received as store credits to a pawn shop and fast-cash store and got about $1,000.
Court records don't list attorneys for the women.

In an attempt to strengthen my site security, I changed the table prefixes from wp_ to a different prefix_. After doing so, the site and posts were still there but I was unable to access admin and got the message "You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page."
I searched the forum and found a couple of suggestions as to how to fix this, but nothing worked, so I tried to restore my site from the backup I had made using WP-DB-Backup. This failed too - the site has disappeared and when I enter the URL I am taken to a page to install WordPress - HELP!
My site included lots of videos and posts, which took months to do, so I would be grateful for any suggestions as to how I can restore everything.

Man, that's absolutely scary.
Not to downplay an unfortunate accident, but... am I the only one thinking Kids In The Hall?
That settles it, recycling is too dangerous to allow!
I'm afraid my mind went right to Phil Leotardo, sound effects included.
#2 No, I thought the same thing. Also The Office.
The city will fine the guy for recycling a non-recyclable object though.
I'm pretty sure I worked in that very recycling plant, once upon a time.
Just curious: on a day when NYC Mayor Bloomberg threatened to sink Dem presidential chances and Obama threw a big "fuck you" to the Indian subcontinent, why is this news?

I wrote a function to modify a passed in dictionary. However, when I parallelized the code using the multiprocessing module, it exhibits different behavior then when run in serial. The dictionary is not modified.
Attached below is a toy example of my issue. The dictionary is not modified when run using map_async, but is modified when run in a for loop. Thanks for clarifying my confusion!
#!/usr/bin/env python
from multiprocessing import Pool
def main1(x):
x['a'] = 1
print x
return 1
def main2(x):
x['b'] = 2
print x
p = Pool(2)
d = {1:{}, 2:{}}
r = p.map_async(main1, d.values())
print r.get()
print "main1", d
for x in d.values():
print "main2", d
