Aromas of lime, must and kiwi, together with the classic plant-like qualities of Verdejo. Beautifully fresh, with a long and dry finish.
Pair with everything from fish, sushi and grilled seafood to salads, pasta, and mildly spicy Thai food.
"The 2010 Naia is also 100% Verdejo but with 12% of the wine fermented and aged in French oak. This fragrant, medium-bodied offering displays enticing aromatics along with a round, smooth-textured mouth-feel likely due to its partial exposure to oak. It is a lovely, refreshing wine for enjoying over the next 2-3 years."

Web Extra: View Supplemental Material (MP4)
We describe two new approaches to human pose estimation. Both can quickly and accurately predict the 3D positions of body joints from a single depth image, without using any temporal information. The key to both approaches is the use of a large, realistic, and highly varied synthetic set of training images. This allows us to learn models that are largely invariant to factors such as pose, body shape, field-of-view cropping, and clothing. Our first approach employs an intermediate body parts representation, designed so that an accurate per-pixel classification of the parts will localize the joints of the body. The second approach instead directly regresses the positions of body joints. By using simple depth pixel comparison features, and parallelizable decision forests, both approaches can run super-realtime on consumer hardware. Our evaluation investigates many aspects of our methods, and compares the approaches to each other and to the state of the art. Results on silhouettes suggest broader applicability to other imaging modalities.

Nom, Nom, Nom. |
The favorite idea that I gathered from those efforts was that using my cast iron skillet gave me very nice results. So, I decided that idea was a keeper.
I also liked the idea of using vegetables as a rack for the chicken to roast on, allowing the vegetables to receive the drippings from the chicken as blessings from above, packed with flavor.
Then, I stumbled on a book by Colman Andrews, where he gives his wife's recipe for what she calls "Homecoming Chicken". She came up with a recipe that she could leave in the oven while she drove to the airport to pick him up on Friday nights. I liked a LOT about her recipe, especially the addition of a nice white wine, used for basting the chicken about halfway through the recipe.
Herbes de Provence, an ingredient I use in this recipe, I USED to have to purchase at Williams Sonoma. I now see it in regular grocery stores, in the spice aisle. (I still purchase mine at Williams Sonoma, anyway, because I like their blend.) If you want to make do with what you have in your pantry, it is an herb blend, and here's a recipe for making your own from Gofrance. (I have never tried making this myself, but I thought I'd do what I could for anyone who wanted to give it a go, but didn't want to buy a special ingredient. You could certainly omit the lavender, or whatever else you might not have on hand.
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp ground rosemary
- 1 tsp summer savory
- 1/2 tsp lavender (optional but traditional)
- 1 tsp marjoram
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 tsp dried sage
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
When I make this recipe, my house is filled with an aroma that has been known to trigger salivary glands in the next county. And lest you think I exaggerate, my kids have left our house having eaten this for dinner to attend a Bible study with their Dad, where they have had kids follow them around sniffing them, saying, "Wow. You smell delicious. What did you have for dinner????"
So, here is my hybrid recipe, courtesy of Julia and Jacques and Colman, for Roasted Chicken, à la Susan in the Boonies.
Boonie Sooze's Roast Chicken
1 3-4 lb. roasting chicken
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
1 T. Herbes de Provence
1 T. coarse salt
2 t. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lemon
4 medium potatoes, cut into eighths
2 large carrots, cut into sticks 3" long and 1/2" thick
4 shallots, peeled and separated into cloves
1 c. dry, full bodied white wine
Pre-heat oven to 400º.
Place potatoes, carrots, and shallots in a large cast iron skillet. Toss with about a T. of olive oil, and some salt and pepper.
Slide your fingers in between the the breast skin and the breasts, gently separating the two. Push minced garlic underneath skin. Rub surface of chicken with olive oil, then sprinkle with Herbes de Provence, salt and pepper. Squeeze lemon juice over top of chicken, and then insert lemon into cavity of chicken. Place chicken on top of vegetables and roast uncovered for 40 minutes. Remove chicken from oven and pour wine over top of chicken, roasting for about another half hour, or until meatiest part of chicken breast registers 160º.
The elegant roast chicken. |
Did you notice my new Pinterest button? One of these days, I'll figure out how to use it.

It's a very practical hotel. Very comfortable. Staff is nice. Only thing that Chris forgot to tell me is that there is a $30. fee to bring a pet.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Great place to stay near airport or if driving"
The apartment I stayed in was very spacious. I had the most comfortable king size bed, a huge living room and large kitchen. If you are staying overnight because it is near the airport you certainly do not need any of this, but the staff was very nice and there is a 24 hr curteousy shuttle to and from the airport. If I were staying with a family and […] visiting the area with a car, you are about 25 mins. from Centreville and you will have a nice big apartment to go home to at night if that is what you are looking for.

"Good enough next to airport and for limited budget"
It is a typical hotel *** decently kept and very close to the airport, so if you have to leave early to take the plane or you are in transit with just with few hours in town this is an ideal solution. The staff is very kind but the interior finishes are not the best. Overall just for one or few nights stay with a limited budget to stay close to the […] airport, this is a good place where to stay.

"Stay away!!!"
Well it says three stars!! but its barely 2 star! I stayed there for 4 nights! the room was never cleaned during my stay! they clean it every 5 days or so.. the internet was very slow and intermittent. The breakfast was not bad! the police came to the place 2 times at the weekend because one of the residents brought booze and dope and started partying […] like an animal with his friends! Anyways, stay away from the place! find another hotel for a few more bucks. Skaityti daugiauTikri "Expedia" svečių atsiliepimai

Just a ffew blocks from the airport. When first arriving one has to call from the lobby for admission, even in daytime After that one needs one's room key to enter building at all times. These are converted apartments not originally designed for short tem stays. Walkup, no elevator. Apt. smelled of disinfectant.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
Disappointed that we were not able to control the room temperature! We had to open the window to sleep because the room was too hot. A window air-conditioning unit was sitting on the floor in the closet, but was not functioning.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"The prices is right!!!"
Everything was ok except we booked a smoking room and received a non smoking room. Office was closed at check in so we were stuck with that.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Don't expect a good nights sleep."
We arrived in pouring rain & was greeted outside by a man who helped & checked us in no problems.Then had to carry our suitcases up a flight of stairs as no lift,so if using this place as a stop over for airport,be pepared for this we were lucky as only had one flight of stairs,but there are 3 to the top floor.Also I used my sat nav to find place,but […] could see how some people had problems as this is not a hotel as such,at a guess by the people i met going in and out i would say it was also some sort of hostle for non-Canadians,homeless families etc but never asked just guessing by people i saw.Someone whilst we was there had a dog,who's barking was echoing around the place,but so did every door shutting etc.In fact the whole place was noisy,not helped by being woke up before 7am by builders starting work in the room above mine,not what i need on holiday after all the noise of people coming and going all night! On a plus side there was a wal-mart within walkng distance,it was a short drive into city of Montreal,less than 5mins drive to airport,also the breakfast was very aceptable. The room its self was clean but old,with a new flatscreen tv on wall,the bed was hard(tho found this throughout Canada).There was a small kitchen with cooker,fridge and microwave(had to play with buttons and hold the door button to make it work tho). On a whole I wouldn't say this was value for money,i would expect better and got a whole lot better for less money on my trip to Canada. Skaityti daugiauTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Weekend in Montreal"
We were coming up to Montreal for the weekend and needed a place to stay. Since we had a car we picked a place that was a little outside the city since it tended to be cheaper. This hotel was great, very spacious rooms and friendly staff. Enjoyed the complimentary breakfast too.Tikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
"Stay Away!"
If you are they type that likes grungy motels then this is the place for you! I thought the price was right and the description sounded good. Not the case! This place is a sketchy apartment complex that's been turned into a hotel. The neighborhood looks like the ghetto. The parking is not ample, it's not even paved. The entire room smelled like urine […] and looked like a time-capsule from the early 80's. I guess they only clean them once a week. They had no maps of the area and were no help with public transportation. Generally the whole place just had a sketchy "horror movie" vibe. Do yourself a favor and book somewhere else.

"Well, it is cheap"
The Beausejour is exactly what the name implies, it is an appartment building that rents out rooms. There is no name out front so make sure you note the address. The unit was a good size with a full kitchen with plates, pots and pans, etc. There was a coffee pot but no coffee or filters, There is however a breakfast with a few things to choose from […] includiing coffee, juice, cereal and toast. The room was clean and there were extra towels, which was good because there is no daily maid service. If you want a cheap room near the airport (directly under the flight path) this place will do.

I had a bad night and bad circumstances leading up to my checking into this hotel. This was the saving grace of my trip. the rooms are spacious, clean.. and much more than i expected. i will definatly stay here again. the price was fantastic! thank youTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas
This hotel definitely exceeded my expectations, especially for the very reasonable price we paid for it. The woman in charge was an absolute sweetheart, and went completely above and beyond to help us out. She remembered me personally from a previous phone conversation, let us keep our bags in her office since we arrived early, gave us keys in advance […] so we would have them when we came back that night, moved our things to our room for us, and offered us free breakfast the first morning we hadn't even paid for. Our room was everything we needed, and they even upgraded us from a studio to a one room apartment! This means that without any additional cost, we got a full kitchen, and living room with a pull out couch and cable tv, and a balcony, on top of our bedroom (king size bed!) and bathroom. Everything was clean, breakfast was yummy, we had free wi-fi, and the building was a very short walk to the bus stop. The ONLY complaint I have is that the night watchman was a little cranky, and insisted on checking our ID constantly instead of reactivating our key cards (the power had gone out earlier, but ours were never fixed). Either way, we got what we needed, it was just a little convenient to go through that at one in the morning. But, the positives definitely outweigh the minor inconvenience, and we'd probably go out of our way to stay there again! Great for families, and fun for us young couples too!

"Clean but not convenient"
The room was clean and the kitchen was well equipped. But, the hotel is not very easy to find if you don't have GPS. There is no reception. There are no elevators. So, if you have heavy bags and your room is on the third floor, like ours, be prepared for some heavy lifting. There was no AC in the living room. We called and requested a fan. The person, […] despite assuring us, never showed up. Finding the gym was a challenge and the equipment was cramped in a very small room. The floor was cracked in the gym and the drain was open. The hotel shares its parking with a resto-bar. It was tough to find parking on a Saturday night. The breakfast was much better than the condition of the hotel. The hotel is also located close to a grocery store and an alcohol store. So, you can easily cook and drink to your fill. In short, the hotel is good if you are going to just spend the night and have breakfast and leave. Its also well priced and you can save some money by cooking in the clean and well equipped kitchen.

"Good place to stay near Dorval Aiport"
Since I was booked on a later flight to Montreal after missing the earlier one, I booked and got a very good rate at Hotel Dorval for a one night stay so my relatives in Montreal would not have to come during the wee hours to pick me up at the airport. The shuttle arrived quite soon after I called, and the man who picked me up was very pleasant and […] helpful. The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. It is an especially good place if you want to cook your own meals as there is a small kitchen with every instrument you need to make your meals. The fitness center in the basement was disappointing. Three very old pieces of equipment and the elliptical machine did not work. I had a room that faced the street and it was not possible to block out the street light if I did not want to cover the air conditioner (warm night). Still in the same circumstances I would stay there again, especially if I could get a lower room rate. Skaityti daugiauTikras "Hotels.com" svečio atsiliepimas

This hotel is a renovated apartment building. The office is not possible to locate as there is no signage.

Rooms are too warm and there was no way to control […] thermostat in the room. Our room was on the main floor or basement level which meant that we couldnt keep our drapes open or people would look right into our room as they walked into the building.

Ryan Divish
Havre Daily News Sports Editor
A quick question: Where is the best tennis in the state of Montana being played? Nope, not in Billings or Missoula. It's right here in Havre.
The Havre High tennis team outplayed and outperformed a series of Class AA opponents in dual matches at this weekend's Great Falls Invitational tennis tournament.
The Pony boys finished with a sparkling 4-0 record, including a dramatic 5-2 win over Class AA's No. 1 team Billings Senior. The Pony girls were also solid, finishing 2-2 on the weekend, losing to Class AA defending state champ Bozeman and AA title contender Billings Senior.
"Overall, I was really happy with both of our teams' performance this weekend," said Havre High head coach George Ferguson. "We had to play in some of the worst conditions we have seen this season, and every player on our team went out there and gave everything they had against some great competition."
The six-time defending state champion Pony boys have relished the opportunity to play AA competition this season, and responded with some of their best tennis.
"Obviously, this was a great weekend for our boys program," Ferguson said. "These kids take a lot of pride in what they do and they certainly showed it in the four duals we won this weekend."
Havre opened the tournament with a 6-1 trouncing of Great Falls High as No. 1 singles player Kyle Baltrusch defeated the Bison's No. 1 player Spencer Grey 8-7 with a 10-8 win in the tiebreaker. It was a big win for Baltrusch, who lost to Grey last week in dual action.
Chase Castloo and Scott Miller rolled to easy singles wins.
In the doubles, Havre swept the Bison, as the teams of Marc Mariani and Gary Wagner and Coda Tchida and Billy Wagner won handily. The team of Patch Wirtzberger and Lucas Hamilton also scored a hardfought 8-7 win in the No. 3 doubles match over Great Falls' Austin Davis and Tyler Hessler.
The Ponies wrapped up Friday's play with a sound 5-2 victory over the Bozeman Hawks. Baltrusch scored another grueling victory, this time over Brian Bosche. Chase Castloo and Scott Miller also finished the day undefeated. In doubles, Gary Wagner and Mariani and John Christian and Hamilton scored wins.
"Both of Kyle's wins on Friday required him to play really smart and tough tennis," Ferguson said. "He did that to perfection. It was a lot of fun to watch."
On Saturday, the Ponies pasted Butte High 7-0, which set up the final showdown against Billings Senior. Havre beat the ballyhooed Broncs 5-2 in thrilling fashion. Baltrusch stayed undefeated for the weekend with an 8-2 win over Brian LeSeur. Castloo also finished undefeated with an 8-1 win over Nick Huang. Ryan Kinholt picked up his second win on the weekend with an 8-7 win over Andrew Harkless.
"Our singles players all had great weekends," Ferguson said. "Scott Miller and Ryan Kinholt both won very important come-from-behind matches in different duals and they both played well. Chase Castloo looked really strong again and is playing some of the best tennis I have seen him play yet.
"And what can you say about Kyle? Going undefeated as a No. 1 singles player in a Class AA tournament speaks for itself. Not only is his game coming on right now, but he is just so mentally tough."
The doubles featured a showdown of tennis powers as Mariani and Gary Wagner asserted their dominance with an emotional 8-7 win over Sean Harris and Adam Decker. Harris is widely considered the best player in the state, while Decker is also very talented.
"Marc and Gary also got two stern tests this weekend and they played some great doubles against those quality opponents," Ferguson said. "In the final match of the tournament against Senior, both of them came up with some big shots when the match was on the line. They were just very focused and composed. it was a really nice win for them and I think they are going to be very difficult to beat the rest of this season."
Tchida and Billy Wagner finished the weekend with a 3-1 record, scoring an 8-3 win over Jon Pavlish and Tyler Moses.
"Coda and Billy also played really well," Ferguson said. "They had some tough matches and they looked very sharp. They have both improved a lot this season and now they are becoming a strong force in doubles and that only makes us that much better of a team overall."
With four wins over Class AA opponents, the Ponies would have to be considered the team to beat in all of Montana tennis.
"The wins over Bozeman and Senior were especially satisfying for this team," Ferguson said. "Those are the two best teams in Class AA and we beat both of them pretty handily. It is a testament to how well these kids on this team play and how motivated they are to go out and be the best they can be every time they step on the court."
While the Pony boys were stealing much of the spotlight, the Pony girls quietly went about their business putting together a solid weekend.
"Our girls had an up-and-down weekend as far as results, but that doesn't mean they played poorly at all," Ferguson said. "It is hard to convince them of that sometimes, because they are so competitive. But I don't think the scores against Bozeman or Senior indicate how good our girls team is or how well we are playing right now."
Havre opened the tourney with a 5-2 win over Great Falls High. Senior Amy McLain rolled to an easy win over former teammate Katy Dow, while sister Hailey, won her match at No. 4 singles with an 8-2 win over Taylor Perry. The Ponies swept the doubles portion as Steph Flatau and Keelie Solomon dominated their match, while the No. 2 team of Kari Gorder and Kristi Hollingshead and the No. 3 team of Jocelyn Chagnon and Alexa Lipp won close matches.
In the afternoon, the two-time defending state champion Bozeman Hawks roughed up the Ponies 6-1. Senior Megan Rice was Havre's lone winner, with a solid 8-6 win over Aubrie Ler.
"Megan had a great win on Friday, because that is a girl she has come close to beating several times," Ferguson said. "I was really happy for her that she got over the hump in what will be the last time she every probably sees Ler."
On Saturday, the Ponies picked up a 4-3 win over Butte. Amy McLain bounced back with an 8-3 win over Johnna Beatty. Christen Kittelson picked up her first win of the weekend with an 8-6 win over Abby Faucet. Hailey McLain picked up an 8-4 win over Kaila Sullivan. In doubles, Flatau and Solomon scored an 8-7 win over Ashley Roeganstan and Kelsey Manchester.
In the final match of the tournament, Billings Senior worked over the Ponies 6-1. The Broncs were picked to contend with Bozeman for the AA team title and lived up to that prediction.
Freshman phenom Missy Harris defeated Amy McLain to lead the Broncs to a sweep of the singles matches. Havre's lone win came from Flatau and Solomon, who defeated Sara Johnson and Rikki Peach 8-6.
"Steph and Keelie also had a very good overall weekend," Ferguson said. "They played three very solid teams and won two very close matches. I am really pleased to see how good they are starting to play, and when they win the close ones or tiebreakers, that is a really good sign of things to come."
But the overall result wasn't as important to Ferguson as the level of play his team competed against.
"Amy and Megan were both up against some fierce competition and they played good tennis," he said. "Hailey McLain is another player on our girls team that had a very good week. She and Alexa Lipp played some good doubles matches together and we also used her in a couple singles matches. She is looking very tough for a freshman and has really become a big asset to our team."
Havre will be facing Class AA competition again this weekend, when it travels to the Billings Invitational on Friday.

The Beer 'Armageddon'
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Beer consumed in the United States, on average, contains approximately 5% alcohol. For instance, Budweiser (BUD) contains exactly 5%, while Bud Lite has 4.2%. Boston Beer's (SAM) offerings range from 4.05% (Sam Adams Lite) to a whopping 17.5% for its Triple Bock.
But none of the hundreds of beers currently on the market, in this country, can come anywhere close to competing with a new offering from Scotland's Brewmeister company. It calls its beer 'Armageddon'. It contains an astounding 65% alcohol. That's 130 proof.
To give you an idea of just what that means, most popular Scotch whiskeys we drink here are diluted down to somewhere between 40%-46% "bottling strength". Special "cask strength" Scotch whiskeys contain 50%-60% alcohol.
Armageddon comes in 330 ml (11.14 fluid ounce) bottles and retails for 40 GBP ($64.39 USD). That's not a misprint. Sixty-five bucks for an 11 ounce bottle of beer.
The Brewmeister people say the beer is quite tasty. They describe the brew as tasting "slightly sweet, hoppy, malty and retaining much of the yeast present during fermentation". But, because of the sky-high alcoholic content they recommend that people drink the beer in 35 ml (that's only a drop or two more than one ounce) portions. And they suggest you share the bottle with friends so the contents don't go flat. The Brewmeister Web site claims they'll ship their goods (they make more than just Armageddon) to the United States. But, they're warning the demand has been so great that you'll have to wait at least 2-3 weeks for delivery. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com the service that is right for you!

Can mental training improve your intelligence? No video game or mental puzzle has convincingly been shown to work. But now a group of neuropsychologists claims it has found a task that can add points to a person's IQ - and the harder you train, they say, the more you gain.
So-called "fluid intelligence", or Gf, is the ability to reason, solve new problems and think in the abstract. It correlates with professional and educational success and it appears to be largely genetic.
Past attempts to boost Gf have suggested that, although by training you can achieve great gains on the specific training task itself, those gains don't transfer to other tasks.
Now Susanne Jaeggi at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, US, and her colleagues say that is not true.
They invited 70 healthy adults to participate in a challenging training exercise known as the "dual n-back" task.
Daily training
The exercise involves tracking small squares on a screen that pop into a new location every three seconds. Volunteers have to press a button when the current location is a duplicate of two views earlier.
At the same time, consonants are played through headphones and a button is pressed if the letter is the same as that heard two "plays" earlier.
If participants perform well, the interval to be tracked (n) increases to three or more stages earlier.
Jaeggi's volunteers were trained daily for about 20 minutes for either 8, 12, 17 or 19 days (with weekends off). They were given IQ tests both before and after the training.
The researchers found that the IQ of trained individuals increased significantly more than controls - and that the more training people got, the higher the score.
Small study
"It definitely challenges the old opinions," says Jaeggi. She thinks their training regimen succeeded where others failed largely because it remained challenging. Also, because it was tailor-made to the individual, people were never able to go on autopilot.
Not everyone is impressed. Robert Plomin, at the Institute of Psychiatry in London, says that no serious intelligence researchers consider Gf "immutable", as the paper suggests.
"There is no contradiction at all between substantial heritability and improvement of performance," he says. "What is school about?"
Plomin says what is more interesting is how much an individual can profit from training. He complains, however, that the researchers did not really address this in the research, and that the study, with nine subjects in each of four training conditions, is much too small to detect it.

Doesn't any discussion of this end up being a discussion of IQ as a signifier of intelligence? Or, indeed, anything?
Thu Jun 05 04:16:53 BST 2008 by Christopher Springer
Bob, you are a perceptive man. Many persue IQ as the Holy Grail indicator of Intelligence. In my experience, this is an unfortunate blind alley, up which most people go, perhaps never to return.
I suggest to you the REAL INDICATOR is not IQ, but CQ, the CREATIVITY QUOTIENT. CQ trumps IQ every time, as indicator of an individuals capability, usefulness and probable future success, fulfilment and self-satisfaction. IQ is important, yes, but it is only a subset of CQ, part of the story, so to speak. Don't limit yourself. Go for the real thing... Creativity.
The Father of Creativity (my term) was E. Paul Torrance, (the Torrance Center for Creativity and Talent Development at the University of Georgia was built for and named after him) and for information on him I refer you to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellis_Paul_Torrance
The current Father of Creativity is Dr. Paul Robert Henrickson, who did much research together with E. Paul Torrance.
I myself am highly pleased with his Creativity Puzzles which enhances the CREATIVITY of my grandchildren.
Mon Sep 21 05:02:12 BST 2009 by Ben Carson
IQ = left brain
CQ = right brain
Our society is shifting away from left brain thinking because we can leave most of that work for computers. Creativity is becoming more important.. aka right brain abilities.. CQ
Aren't Practice Effects On Test Scores Well Known?
Mon Apr 28 22:45:16 BST 2008 by Alan
I thought that practice effects on IQ test scores were well known. Decades ago, my father made me practice taking IQ tests to improve my chances of getting into a selective school that used IQ as one of the admissions criteria. It worked!
There is literature saying that the effect is larger when the practice tests are closer to the real thing, so maybe the point of the new study is that the effect is detectable even for a radically different task.
Aren't Practice Effects On Test Scores Well Known?
Tue Apr 29 02:15:47 BST 2008 by X
I compleatly agree with your point. It seems that with the statement "They were given IQ tests both before and after the training." that those who were trained more, recived more IQ tests. And suddenly they think it is relevent that people who take more simmaler tests have an increased score over time...
This would only relevent if a control group took tests at the same time
Aren't Practice Effects On Test Scores Well Known?
Tue Apr 29 03:24:07 BST 2008 by Matt
I have not read the study in question, but as a graduate student in psychology I can say that they *must* have matched the number and frequency of IQ tests across the conditions (the control condition and all training conditions). Practice effects are well-known and certainly would need to be controlled for in a study like this. Any halfway-good scientist would include this in their experimental design, and if they didn't, peer-review would certainly catch it!

Did they say they gave more tests? I didn't read it that way, though obviously this is just a summary.
If group 1 got a test, 4 hours of training, then another test, while group 2 got a test, 8 hours of training, then another test, the difference in test score deltas between the two groups wouldn't be tied to test-taking practice.

YES practice effects are real and YES they were corrected for in the study.

Did your practice improve your IQ, or did it merely improve your test-taking ability?

All IQ ever was is a test on test taking ability. If you believe a written test can truly examine how well functioning a persons brain is, then you probably have a low IQ.

Rofl. Nice. The truth is that IQ is one of the best predictors of 'success', period. The only dicey bits are the large correlations between income, education, and IQ, (all of which are markers for 'life success') which make it fairly tough to suss out their relative importance in that success.
But note that there are lots of interesting correlations, like, the higher your IQ, the less likely you are to be arrested; the higher your IQ, the less likely you are to get divorced... There are more. Google is our friend.

The way I understood it both control and study groups were given two IQ tests, one at the beginning of the study, one at the end of it. If, despite this, the study group still improved their IQ score by more than the control group, then the study is certinly reliable. At least in that respect.
I agree with the quote in the article that the sample size is quite small and repetition of the experiment would definitely make the study more credible.
Interesting, nonetheless.

Yes, practice on a test increases you score, which is why reputable IQ tests conducted by a properly qualified psychologist have a 'test-retest' value, indicating the average gain on re-test.
If you had declared your practice then the re-test value would have been employed to put you on an even footing with the other candidates.
A certain degree of honesty is required from the test-taker, and it is possible to cheat on even psychometric tests like IQ tests, but any test is susceptable to cheating.
That being said sufficient practice on a varied range of IQ tests is stimulating and can lead to a legitimate increase in IQ score, which isn't accounted for in the test-retest value. An honest person declares that they're the test before, and takes the re-test norming on their stanines to account for that.
Many psychometric tests also contain constructs like 'faking positive' and 'faking negative' to detect patterns of response where an applicant is answering so as to produce a deliberately misleading result.
In short, psychometric testing has come a very, very long way, and while there are occasionally some lax research practices its unlikely that anyone qualified in the area of psychology would make this sort of elementary mistake in their research methodology.
If they did they deserve to be laughed out of the academic community.

Why do I have to see adverts for a subscription I have already purchased?
Tue Apr 29 01:56:48 BST 2008 by Christian Richard
Because it would be rather intrusive for our ISP to know what post we were getting
Tue Apr 29 03:26:32 BST 2008 by Spv
Please explain!
They know we are logged in, which implies we have a subscription. Isn't that enough data to justify switching off the subscription ads?
It would make sense to allocate the space used for subscription ads to something more productive, or at least more restful to the eye.
Tue Apr 29 07:44:11 BST 2008 by Paul
I tend NOT to subscribe to companies that p*** me off.
I had a problem with a calculator manufactured by a certain lone star instrumentation manufacturer in 1978. I am convinced it caused me to get only 98% on a maths test at school. Still, today, I would never buy one of their machines and what's more I tell other people not to buy their rubbish.
Tue Apr 29 09:37:19 BST 2008 by Happywith98
Um... Are you serious?
A) You're disappointed in a 98%?
B) You honestly think it's the calculator's fault?
C) One "defective" product has led to a 30-year boycott of an entire company?

Permit rates for 2013-2014 are set and have been approved by the UNC Charlotte Board of Trustees. First, the unpleasant news: permit prices will rise again this year, by about 8%
One bright spot for non-resident students with compressed Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday schedules: new Commuter permit options have been added in response to their requests. Class schedules have created enough of these students to justify offering Monday/Wednesday and Tuesday/Thursday permits for purchase by the semester.
M/W and T/Th one semester permits
As mentioned above, these permits are an economical option for Commuters who are only required to be on campus for Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday classes. They are valid for one semester, only on the days specified. On all other weekdays, these Commuters must pay to park in Visitor Decks or at meters, even after 6:00 pm.
South Village Deck
Freshmen assigned to highrise residence halls will no longer have to park across campus in North Deck. The new South Village Deck will have over 1,200 spaces. While construction of the South Village Dining Hall will be ongoing for another year, insufficient parking will no longer be a problem.
South Village Deck highlights:
Multi-vehicle registration
To register more than one vehicle to a hang tag, the cost is $15, unchanged from last year. You may register as many vehicles as you own to any one tag. (As defined in the campus parking ordinances "No faculty, staff member, or student may register a vehicle not owned by that individual, his/her spouse, a parent or guardian, or assigned to the individual by his/her employer.")
Discount remote parking options in Lot 6A and Lot 27
Lower-priced permit options for Faculty/Staff and Commuters will continue to include:
Discount remote parking at Starlight Cinema (North Tryon Street) may not be offered for 2013-2014. However, Parking and Transportation Services is working with the Charlotte Area Transit System and management companies from surrounding apartment complexes in an effort to make this option possible. A final decision will be made and announced on the PaTS website before 2013-2014 permits become available for online purchase.
Carpools need to be arranged with Parking and Transportation Services so that multi-vehicle hang tag listing all the carpool vehicles and their owners may be registered.
Each carpool will be allowed up to 10 free daily temporary permits per academic year. That way, on days when you need to drive your own car and not be a part of the carpool, you may legally park. Daily temporary passes can be picked up at the PaTS office in advance of the day needed, or you may park in front of the PaTS Office for long enough to procure that day's permit.
Why does it cost so much to park my car on campus?
Campus parking has to be self-supporting. This is because:
PaTS Director Gary Caton explains, "Replacing surface parking with parking decks increases cost of operation and debt service. The sale of parking permits and Visitor parking fees are the only source of revenue, because, contrary to popular belief, citation fines do not generate income for Parking and Transportation Services."
Business Services (of which PaTS is a division) has endeavored to keep prices as low as the financial model will allow, while adding new decks and parking control technology that will benefit campus now and in the future. The principal factor that determines permit pricing is the cost of new deck construction and replacing surface lots with decks. It's expensive to design, construct and maintain new parking decks needed to accommodate enrollment and demand. When surface lots must make way for new buildings and residence halls, those spaces must be replaced with decks.
What do Permit fees pay for?
Almost all of it goes toward design and construction new parking decks, maintenance and debt service (paying back construction bonds) of existing decks/lots, with a small percentage going toward traffic control staffing and support of the CATS Campus Shuttle.
What about fines collected from citations? Where does that money go?
There are State statutes governing this (GS 115C-457.1-3 - page 305) determining that civil fines (as well as penalties and forfeitures) less the cost of collection have to be remitted to the State; then the State allocates the money to local public schools.
The cost of collection is capped at 20%, regardless of what it may actually cost the agency or municipality to collect the fines. Enforcement and collection costs the University more than the amount we're permitted to keep. Business Services remits the 80% of all fines collected to the Office of State Budget and Management (OSBM) monthly.
PaTS and the University do not gain financial benefit from citation fines. In fact,
One last thought from the director of Parking and Transportation Services
"I fully understand the financial impact and feelings of concern that arise when parking rates increase," says Caton. "But here's the math: As enrollment has risen, parking has had to grow from 10,499 spaces and six parking decks in 2006 to 14,694 spaces with ten parking decks by July 2013. That's 40% more parking. The corollary is that permit rates have had to increase as well. During the same period the price rose from $265 to $450 which is 42%; almost the same amount.
"I know that this explanation does little to lessen the displeasure that is inevitably felt when we're told permits will cost us even more, but I do hope it offers some understanding of 'why'."

This DOES NOT INCLUDE gated lots, Faculty/Staff lots or reserved lots/spaces. Citations will still be issued for all other parking violations as outlined in the Ordinance Governing Parking, Traffic and the Registration of Motor Vehicles for the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Vehicles on the University Tow list may not park anywhere on campus, even during exam week.

Student Affairs has programmed an event that looks to be a great one! In support of that, and to ensure that no sour notes are hit due to parking citations, Parking and Transportation Services reminds you that unless you have a special permit specific to Lots 8 (in front of Scott and Holshouser), 8A (between Moore and Scott), and Lot MSU (by Moore, Sanford and RDH), you cannot park there. Sorry, not even on weekends. Students who qualified for 8, 8A and MSU permits were promised parking, therefore that area is always enforced. So please, park elsewhere where your permit is allowed.

UPDATE: Weather forecast is calling for rain so Spring Fest will be held in the SAC
April 24, 2013
In the early days of the Residence Dining Hall (RDH), students slid trays down a cafeteria line where food that had been cooked in the "back of the house" was plopped onto a Melamine plate from an ice cream scoop. Ketchup went a long way to rehydrate a square of meatloaf and Lance crackers from the vending machine were the only available alternative. There was no such thing as DB to spend at retail brands located elsewhere on campus. There were no retail brands. There was no elsewhere to go.
Sounds like one of those "Back-in-my-day-we-walked-a-mile-in-the-snow-uphill-both-ways-to-get-to-school-and-we-were-grateful-for-it" stories, doesn't it? That's because nowadays, college and university dining services feature within their model food cooked-to-order, eco-friendly options, International flavors and favorite national brands. Today, providing food for thousands of students daily is far less about filling stomachs and much more about recognizing individual tastes and preferences while providing optimal nutrition, variety and convenience.
A recent blog post on Houston Press notes the top five food trends that are changing the campus dining paradigm, all of which are notable at UNC Charlotte.
Trend #5: Variety of Cuisines
Students now want and expect multiple flavor profiles, minimally including those associated with Italian, Mexican and Asian foods. In addition to the ethnic-style venues in Cone Center, Student Union and Prospector, Crown Commons dining hall has an International station that features a daily entrées from those and other parts of the world such as India and the Mediterranean.
Trend #4: Trayless dining
Going trayless not only benefits the environment, it cuts down on uneaten food going into the garbage. Crown Commons and RDH are "all-you-care-to-eat" dining halls and students are free to go back for seconds or thirds. But keeping each trip down to what can be carried in two hands prevents the waste that inevitably happens when "the eyes are bigger than the stomach."
Trend #3: Posting Calories
UNC Charlotte's food service partner, Chartwells, posts nutrition facts for menu items online and at the dining halls. In addition, specific, healthy options are served in RDH and Crown Commons at every meal. Chartwells' BalancedU program highlights offerings as 'balanced', 'sustainable', vegan, vegetarian and/or made-without-gluten items through the use of easily identifiable icons. In addition, Chartwells has added a dietetic intern to assist with educating students about the healthier food options available to them.
Trend #2: Chefs cooking food to order
First take note of the word, "Chef." UNC Charlotte is proud to have 10 of them on staff, several award-winning, and all with culinary degrees. Chef Roger Lademann, Director of Operations says, "Creating a great culinary team for a college campus is important. No two students are the same, which means each has unique college dining expectations. Chartwells allows the chefs to create customized meals and work with great equipment in state-of-the-art facilities. Crown Commons has 'action stations' where diners can watch our culinary team prepare and cook their food directly in front of them."
At Crown Commons, special-request pizzas slide off wooden paddles into an open, gas-fired oven; students specify every component for a sandwich, from bread to the condiments; nearby there's an enormous salad bar with "fire and ice" stations where grilled chicken, steak or tofu can be added as a sizzling protein topper. The new South Village Dining Hall (scheduled to open Fall 2014) will have all this too, plus an in-full-view bake shop.
Trend #1: Food Trucks
The food trend that's sweeping big cities is becoming hugely popular on college campuses. This year, UNC Charlotte got 'a taste of what's good off a truck' thanks to The Herban Legend Mobile Café. This local gourmet food truck features American and International street food prepared by Chef Brian Seeley, whose website states, "We use all fresh ingredients which we source from local growers and purveyors whenever possible."
Sticks and Cones Ice Cream trucks also comes to campus when the weather is nice. (OK, maybe their fare isn't on the top 7/8 of the nutrition pyramid, but students do enjoy and usually deserve an occasional treat).
Other facts about UNC Charlotte Dining
Even good old RDH has seen many service enhancements since it opened over 40 years ago. But the facility's set-up, with one large kitchen in the back, cannot possibly accommodate a contemporary university dining model. The new South Village dining hall however, will! Its multiple dining stations with food prepared right in front, bakery, diner, take out section, and expansive convenience store, promises to be a dining spot fit for our dynamic, modern campus. It will even have fireplaces!

REPROS introduces Ink Spot, a "print from anywhere" enhancement to UNC Charlotte's pay-for-print service. Instead of only having to print from a computer in the library or lab, students can send documents to print remotely, through any Internet-connected PC, tablet or smart phone. Faculty and staff may also enjoy the convenience of making personal prints from many points on campus.
Sending documents from a PC or laptop is simple via Web upload; smart phones and tablets use the PrinterOn app, available for IOS, Android and Blackberry. The consumer then selects "UNC Charlotte" and specifies black and white or color printing. Uploaded documents reside in a print queue (for up to three days) until released at any Ink Spot print station.
Complete instructions and download links for apps.
There are currently 15 Ink Spot-enabled locations placed for convenience in Atkins Library, Fretwell, Student Union, EPIC, and Center City, identified by an Ink Spot logo sticker. Ink Spot device location list. Ink Spot printing only works with the 49er Account; no departmental copy cards, guest cards, or copy codes.
REPROS is the campus copy center located in Prospector. It is part of the Reprographics program managed by Auxiliary Services, which includes pay-for-print and convenience copiers on a campus. Technology partner is Ricoh Managed Services who made Ink Spot available to campus with technical assistance from UNC Charlotte ITS. Rick Torres, Auxiliary Services Program Manager for Vending, Reprographics and ATMs said, "We're pleased to add Ink Spot remote printing to our services. It's something students have needed and wanted for awhile." He added that as use of the program grows, more Ink Spot-enabled devices will be added around campus.
For questions about remote printing via Ink Spot print stations, contact REPROS at 704-687-0809 or Rick Torres, 704-687-7341 March 22, 2013

Dealing With Spit-Up
Many babies spit up after they eat. Here are some tips to help you deal with it.
Minimize spitting up by trying the following:
report abuse-
feed your baby before he becomes hysterical with hunger.
- keep mealtimes calm and comfortable for your baby, with as few distractions as possible.
- burp baby throughout the feeding, rather than just at the end.
- be sure the hole in a bottle's nipple isn't too large to prevent gulping or too small, to cause baby to swallow air.

Swansea manager Michael Laudrup says his players can feel very proud of themselves following their last-gasp equaliser against Chelsea on Saturday.
Predict result and win big with Soccer6
The Swans have been put to the ultimate test over the past two weeks with the side having narrowly lost to Premier League champions Manchester City last weekend before seeing off Liverpool at Anfield in the Capital One Cup in midweek.
And this weekend's draw against the reigning Champions League holders has Laudrup brimming with pride, the manager telling Sky Sports of their recent results: "Very good, very important.
"The champions last Saturday, Liverpool at Anfield and then the European champions today. I think it was three really good performances."
Summer signing Pablo Hernandez was the hero for the hosts as he cancelled out Victor Moses' opener, and Laudrup says he is delighted with the way his side are coming together.
"It is great," he said "You know when people, especially foreigners, come in, they need some time to adapt, because it is another way of football and another culture.
"I am very pleased for the new players and even more pleased for the team and the club, because it has been an important week.
