A Qualitative Examination of Participants' Reactions to a Motivational Climate Intervention
Candace Hogue, University of Kansas, USA
Mary Fry, University of Kansas, USA
Theme: Motivation and self-perceptions
Poster Number: 47
Program ID: POS-1
Presentation: October 3, 2013 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Room: Napoleon
The purpose of this study was to examine participants' reactions to a motivational climate intervention while learning a new skill. Specifically, participants (N = 107, 61 females, 46 males) were randomly assigned to either a caring/task- or ego-involving climate where they were taught to juggle for 30 minutes. Participants were then asked to share their perceptions of the experience in written form. A deductive qualitative analysis of the data revealed the participants had contrasting responses based on climate assignment, yet there was very little variability within each climate. The caring/task group described a fun, low stress and helpful learning atmosphere, while the ego group reported experiencing a discouraging, stressful learning environment. When asked what, specifically, participants found to be helpful (or unhelpful), the following themes emerged: The caring/task group reported 1) individualized technical instruction 2) extensive encouragement/praise 3) peer support and 4) peer coaching to be helpful. In contrast, the ego group reported the following to be unhelpful for learning 1) performance based rankings 2) instruction by comparing skills to other participants and 3) instructors only giving praise and attention to those with high skill. With regard to their personal experience during the session, the following themes emerged: The caring/task group: 1) felt great/positive 2) tried hard 3) learned to juggle 4) met new people 5) wanted to continue juggling and 6) believed they could continue to master the skill of juggling. In contrast, the ego group reported the following: 1) being in a negative mood 2) feeling embarrassed/shamed 3) feeling nervous 4) a lack of interest in juggling 5) disappointment in not having learned to juggle and 6) disliking the experience. In line with previous research, perceptions of a caring/task-involving climate were related to more positive experiences for participants, relative to an ego-involving climate, while learning a new skill.

With regional wins over BYU and Nebraska, Oregon — with Inland players Ariana Williams and Natalie Bookout-Gonzalez — has reached the semifinals of the NCAA Division I women's volleyball tournament.
Oregon (29-4) will face Penn State in a Thursday semifinal at Louisville, Ky, to be televised on ESPN2 at 6 p.m. Michigan meets Texas in the other semifinal, at 4 p.m.
In the regional final at Omaha, Neb., Williams, a junior middle blocker from Riverside Poly, had 13 kills and a .500 attack percentage as Oregon beat Nebraska 15-25, 25-22, 25-18, 25-17. She also had one block and a dig. Bookout-Gonzalez, a sophomore defensive specialist from Eastvale Roosevelt, appeared in one set in that match but had no stats.
In the 25-23, 25-21, 22-25, 25-12 win over BYU, Williams had 13 kills and four blocks.
For the season, Williams — who has started all 33 matches — is fourth on the Ducks in kills (293, 2.57 per set), and leads in attack percentage (.353). She also is second in total blocks (76, 0.68 per set). Bookout-Gonzalez has appeared in 21 matches, with 18 digs and four assists.
Thursday's semifinal winners advance to the national championship match, Saturday at 4 p.m. It will also be televised on ESPN2.

Our Science – RRL Website
HIV DRP Retroviral Replication Laboratory
|In addition to the information presented below, the RRL has an alternative website that can provide you with more detail about their work.
The Retroviral Replication Laboratory (RRL) focuses on obtaining a detailed understanding of important events in the life cycle of human retroviruses, with a primary focus on HIV-1, from the initial interactions between the virion and the host cell through reverse transcription and integration to mechanisms of virus assembly and release. There is extensive work on the biochemistry and biology of viral replication, drug resistance, recombination, and the generation of mutations. Studies also include discovery, development, and mechanistic analysis of novel replication inhibitors, as well as whole-organism studies, including development of important animal models, and the development and use of retroviral vectors.
The RRL is composed of seven Sections:
The Vector Design and Replication Section, directed by Dr. Stephen H. Hughes, has two principal areas of research interest: 1) HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT); and 2) HIV-1 integrase.
The Model Development Section, directed by Dr. Vineet N. KewalRamani, is primarily interested in understanding the role of host factors in HIV-1 infection and in developing a modified HIV-1 that can be used to study anti-RT drugs and drug responses in a macaque model.
The Retrovirus Assembly Section, led by Dr. Alan Rein, has been focusing primarily on the roles of elements of the Gag protein, nucleic acid, and host factors in virus assembly.
The Virus-Cell Interaction Section, under the direction of Dr. Eric O. Freed, is well known for its work on the assembly and release of HIV-1 from infected cells and the host factors essential for efficient assembly and release.
The RT Biochemistry Section, directed by Dr. Stuart F.J. Le Grice, focuses on the biochemistry of HIV RT and related retroviral RTs, on the interactions of these RTs with their nucleic acid substrates, and on the development of RNase H inhibitors.
The Viral Recombination Section, directed by Dr. Wei-Shau Hu, focuses on mechanisms of recombination, RNA packaging, and virus assembly.
The Viral Mutation Section, headed by Dr. Vinay K. Pathak, focuses on in vivo mechanisms of reverse transcription, APOBEC, RT template switching, and how mutations in the C-terminal portion of RT contribute to resistance to both nucleoside RT inhibitors (NRTIs) and nonnucleoside RT inhibitors (NNRTIs).

A style essential, these small hoop earrings are crafted from 14k white gold tubing for a polished, lightweight look, finished with a latch back closure.

very understated, appear to be of good quality. For the price, a great deal.
Susan, League City, TX – April 2014
Very nice earrings for the price. High quality finish and most importantly...I love them!
Deborah F, Richmond, VA – February 2014
I thought small hoop earrings meant size, not width. These earrings are the right size, but very, very thin--and I hope that means that they are not fragile. I hope that they do not break or I will have to return them. On the plus size, they are so lightweight I forget I have them on. On the whole, I would have been upset with the quality if I had paid full price-I had a coupon code which reduced the price.

…tickets are basically access to Taco-topia. You will be treated to live bands, lucha libre wrestling shows, chef cooking demonstrations, hilarious on-stage contests, and access to more $2 tacos than you've ever seen. Many of the taco teams are serving tacos available ONLY at the Taco Festival, so this is pretty much the most important event ever.
…tickets are sweet. You'll have access to a decked-out area that's serviced by VIP Tent Sponsors (2013 included Fuzzy's Taco Shop, The Grilled Cheese Truck, and SNOH Ice Shavery) and you can eat food from them all day! You will receive a drink card good for 6 drinks. You'll have premium potties. A couple tokens for tacos. There's a separate entrance. And you get a free pass through the themed photo booth with prints of your shots included. You'll also get to enjoy a feeling of overwhelming euphoria.
Does the VIP price include the tequila expo on Saturday?
Hi, I would like to enter my chihuahua into the Chihuahua Beauty Pageant. How do I go about doing that?
On he VIP ticket is the food included in the price of the ticket?
It would be convenient if we could actually buy tickets for food & drinks AHEAD of time to avoid the long, annoying lines. Seriously… Please look into making that happen.
@ Sara: We will eventually use a card system that will allow for this, but with tickets, it's not possible to sell food & drink credit ahead of time. We are more than doubling the amount of ticket booths this year and staffing them up with the fastest-moving people you've ever seen. Seriously, they're fast. Thx for the suggestion!
@ Tracy: Unlimited food from VIP Tent sponsors: Fuzzy's Tacos, the Grilled Cheese Truck, and SNOH Ice Shavery!
@ Karissa: Sweet! Entry form here: http://aztacofestival.com/forms/2013_Chihuahua_entryForm.pdf Let us know if you have any trouble. Good luck!
@ Karla: No, it does not. We recommend the pre-sale VIP of $85 if you plan on combining it with a Tequila Expo tic. Salud!
What time does the Lucha libre wrestling start and finish on Sunday?
Just to clarify…the VIP package includes 6 drinks and unlimited food at the three vendors already listed…but to sample the tacos you still have to pay $2 each. Correct?
When does the lucha. Libre wrestling start and end on Sunday?
@Roy Both days have the same schedule: it will start at about 11:30-11:45am, and go periodically all day until sundown (about 6-6:30). Each shows last about 30 minutes and then they go for 15-minute breaks. They will be located under the Sandbar tent. You won't miss a show if you're at the festival more than an hour.
@Anonymous That's correct.

VIP isn't so VIP since you're limited to food and still have to pay separate for tequila expo. Is $85 for premium potties worth it…no! Make VIP worth what you pay or decrease the price. So lame.
Is it cash only for the $2 tacos or can you pay with a credit card?
How do you enter the pepper eating contest?
When it is the Chihuahua pagent on Sunday?
Just curious. is the VIP section completely separate from the regular ticket holders? I was thinking about getting a VIP ticket but all of my friends have regular tickets. Will I still be able to hang with them (when I'm not using the fancy port-o-johns)?
does the VIP include both days or only one?
@Anonymous – VIP includes one day
@calcullush The VIP area is separate, but just steps away from the main area – you can most certainly hang with your friends out there and then pop into VIP to grab a drink and, as u say, use the fancy johns – haha
@Michelle 2pm on the Yelp Contest Stage: http://aztacofestival.com/yelp-contest-stage/
@Amanda – Head to the Yelp Contest Stage immediately upon your arrival to the fest and put your name on the list to be called at Check-In Time. Earlier you're there, the better guaranteed for a spot you'll be. Schedule here: http://aztacofestival.com/yelp-contest-stage/
@Dave Taylor – You purchase $2 tokens with cash, and then use those. This keeps lines moving faster because the taco vendors are not handling cash.
I just want to clarify…You need to buy the General Admission to get into the Festival, plus an additional $20 to get into the Tequila Expo, correct? Also if only one person is partaking in the Tequila Expo, will the other be allowed in or is it a restricted area?
Will you have any areas with seating & tables and can we bring our own chairs/umbrellas? How about a map of the overall event?
How do you enter the Bizarre Taco Eating contest on Sunday? And is there an age requirement? My son is 16 and wants to enter! Thanks!!
I have vip tickets and was wondering if children over the age of 12 could use them as well. Also with the 6 drink tickets does that include beer and wine? Thank you
If you are coming with a child under 12, do you need to buy a VIP ticket for yourself and the child or is he still free?
And, how much are the drinks?
Where do I pick up tickets bought through Social Living?
Is there anything for kids?
If I already purchased a tequila expo ticket do I have to buy a general admission ticket also?
If I purchase a VIP ticket, does my 11 year old need one too or would she be free there as well?
I bought the Living Social deal for 2 tickets which, according the deal, I will be able to pick up at will call. If one of these tickets is for someone arriving later than myself will I be able to leave the festival to give him his ticket & come back or at least pass him his ticket when he's in line?
Hi, I'm 9 months old. Should my parents bring me? Would they be able to bring my diaper bag in? My folks really like tacos, and I'd hate for them to miss out on my behalf. Thoughts?
I purchased living social tickets, is there a separate line for that to enter?
Off of what street will the VIP entrance be?
Is it possible to scan or show the PDF ticket at entry rather than printing it – no printer at home
Can you buy tickets at the door or do you have to do it online?
Do you have to purchase the $20 tequila expo ticket on top of $12 admission?
And does the $20 tequila expo ticket include any tequila or do you have to purchase tequila in the expo too?
@Shay Yes, you do have to purchase a $12 GA ticket first, along with the $20 Tequila if you want access to that tent. The $20 Tequila Ticket offers 10 1/2-ounce pours from over 100 types of tequila.
@Jess Saturday – General Admission only at the door (VIP Sold Out). Sunday, both available at the door, but VIP will sell out early.
@Mitch – yep, phones are fine! Come on down!
@RocksNoSalt – Pima, North of Indian Bend
@Lisa No but you will get in faster because there's no transaction to be made and we did quite a few Daily Deals. It'll move quickly, promise!
@Tanner You're under 12 years old so you get in free! There are ADA bathrooms that are roomy enough for changing. We recommend doing the early portion of the event though, you know, for your new-born comfort. Please drink milk responsibly.
@Holly – need you to arrive at the same time – sorry for the inconvenience! We're just not set up for that yet.
@Shari – into the festival, 11-year olds get in free. Into VIP, they will need the kid's vip ticket – http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=3638874
@Brian – yep
@Tiffany – a HUGE kid's zone. Kids under 12 get in free, and then most activities in the kids zone cost $2-$6 or so, depending. Be sure to visit the "Chefs Hat Decorating Zone" at Amica Insurance.
@Maryann – print and bring them with you or show your phone.
@Shawn – $6 16oz beers, $6 margs, $2 water/soda
There is reduced VIP price for children as there still is food and beverages. Obviously if it is a baby or very small child, we will not be so strict.
Yes and Yes, assuming that the two kids have their own tickets.
Festival staff will be there to sign you up.
There will be limited seating. You are welcome to try and bring a chair and umbrella, although it is quite a hectic site out there. There will be event maps (I believe).
Yes and only ticketed guests will be allowed into Tequila Expo due to space restrictions.
I am looking at entering your salsa contest and would like some more info please.
We are visiting Phoenix (from the Netherlands) for two weeks in October and like to come to the festival with 4 persons. Can we buy tickets to enter in advance or can we purchase them at the festival? Thank you
You can purchase at the Festival, but it's always nice to have them in hand if you're traveling. Now on sale here: http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=4228774
Welcome to AZ!
You'd have to enter the Taco Contest and then enter Salsa, since Salsa is a "sidecart" category to the main competition. Here's an FAQ: http://aztacofestival.com/teams-faq/


text: In this Slusser article, there's a short mention that the A's have decided to move Grant Green to CF. Obviously, Green was not doing great defensively at SS, but is there reason to think he can be a decent defensive CFer? It's not like CF is an easy position to play, either. Though maybe it will let him use his athletic ability a little better? For those who have watched him play, do you think he has the range and arm and IQ (as in, do you think he can learn how to run efficiently out there a la Kotsay, or be an athletic mess like Byrnes) to cut it? He had a good bat for a SS, and he'll have a good one for a CFer, provided he keeps improving, so I'm not that concerned about that. Will this speed up his development?

Police warn drivers after snowfall
Motorists are being warned by police to allow extra time on journeys as snow builds up across the region.
Drivers should be aware of icy patches, snow on the roads, and slippery surfaces. Police say drivers should moderate their speed and keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front.
Main roads are passable but secondary roads, particularly in Gateshead and Newcastle, have coverings of snow.

DARLINGTON COUNTY, SC (WMBF) – Darlington Police have identified a suspect in the attempted robbery at the Bank of America in Darlington Wednesday afternoon.
Warrants have been issued for the arrest of 28-year-old Michael E. Monaghan of Naples, Florida, according to a Facebook post by the Darlington Police Department. He is wanted for three robberies in Winter Park Florida: one bank and two grocery stories.
He is 6-feet tall, about 150 pounds in weight, and believed to be driving a small four-door silver car, possibly a KIA or Saturn, an official stated.
"If you see this suspect do not approach him he is considered to be armed and dangerous," said DPD information office Sgt. Kim Nelson. If he is spotted, call 911 immediately.
Darlington County Sheriff Wayne Byrd reported the attempted robbery of the Bank of America in Darlington from his twitter account.
Darlington Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Nelson says the man entered the bank on South Main Street around 2:45 p.m. Wednesday, July 31. The man was eating a lollipop and appeared calm and collected, she says.
When the man gave the bank teller a note that demanded money, he passed out, causing the suspect to run. He was not seen with a weapon.
The suspect is described as a 6-foot tall white male, weighing between 135 and 140 pounds with sunglasses and a tattoo on his right leg. He has brown hair and was wearing a black shirt with black shorts.
The suspect may be driving a Blue Impala.
The Darlington City Police Department is asking anyone with any information about this incident to please contact the Darlington City Police Department at 843-398-4026.
It is unknown if the man was armed when he attempted to rob this bank. Stick with WMBF News for the latest updates.

Hood rebuts left-of-center arguments on taxes, unemployment, teacher pay, more
John Locke Foundation President John Hood spent the lunch hour picking apart several common, but false, claims left-of-center pundits and politicians have been making about recent state policy. Those claims address issues such as tax burdens, teacher pay, and unemployment benefits.
During the video clip below from Hood's speech to JLF's Shaftesbury Society, he rebuts a claim that North Carolina's 2013 tax reform plan benefits the well-to-do at the expense of the poor and middle class.

|Costume type:
|Costumes for Girls
This homemade costume for girls entered our 2012 Halloween Costume Contest.
My daughter, Ashley, is wearing the costume. She is 8 years old and saw the Stephen King movie "IT" for the first time several weeks ago and decided that was what she wanted to be for Halloween.
I got a clown pattern and researched the costume design and made it. The vest was the hardest, there are no good pics of it online, so I winged it.
She received many compliments during the night!!

Vehicle Preview: The 2012 Volkswagen Eos
Renewed, revved up and ready for spring.
Admit it. Even if you dont now drive a convertible, youve thought about it. Youve pictured yourself waking up on that perfect morning and just driving with the top down with no particular place to go. Then you think, what about the other 364 days of the year? The Volkswagen Eos hardtop convertible, fully revised for 2012, has the answer.
Volkswagen Offers No-Charge Carefree Maintenance
Low-cost is good, but free is even better.

Theres nothing worse than feeling ill, especially when matters are complicated by unfamiliar territory. Fortunately, however, there are steps you can take to ensure a safe and successful excursion. Here are a few to get you on the right track:
Oh, Tango You Didnt!
Celebrities who refused to Dance with the Stars.
Love it or hate it, ABCs reality show Dancing with the Stars is a runaway hit. The show, based on the popular UK series Strictly Come Dancing, is embarking on its 12th season and it is bigger than ever. A total of 138 stars have taken to the floor to compete for the coveted Mirrorball Trophy, which might make you wonder, with so many stars saying, Yes, has anyone turned down the opportunity to strap on those bedazzled dance shoes and shake it?
One Special Woman, One Special Day
Make Mothers Day memorable this year in the Texas Gulf.

Senior Moments
Simple steps to improve your memory.
Inevitably, as we get older, our brains slow down and memory loss occurs. It is a natural part of the aging process and, in most cases, no cause for alarm. According to the National Institute on Aging, Your mind works a lot like a computer. Your brain puts information it judges to be important into files. When you remember something, you pull up a file As people grow older, it may take longer to retrieve those files. While we all experience what cutting-edge scientists and individuals under the age of 40 refer to as senior moments, it is possible to gain some control over this process by following these few easy steps.
Get UnCARBONated
What exactly is a carbon footprint?
We hear a lot about carbon footprints these days, but no one seems to explain just what this green buzzword really means. We know we should try to decrease ours, but where do we begin? Here is an introduction to this hotly debated topic.

(EUROPEANS to ASIA and AFRICA in the 1500s – continued)
home | 16-17th centuries index
EUROPEANS to ASIA and AFRICA in the 1500s (2 of 3)
To protect its trade, Portugal in the early 1500s built forts along Africa's coast. From their base on the island of São Tomé, the Portuguese set up a trading post at Gwato, enjoying successful diplomacy and trading for pepper and slaves with a small kingdom there called Benin. The Portuguese also brought with them to Gwato some missionaries, who baptized a small segment of the Benin population and taught a few people how to read and write.
The Portuguese also established a presence farther south, at São Salvador, in what was called the Kongo. The people in this area, the Bakongo, knew how to work metal, including iron, but their economy mostly involved the palm tree. From the fruit of the palm they made bread, and from the pulp of the fruit they derived oil for cooking and their skin. From the palm tree they also made wine and acquired fibers for mats, baskets, fishing snares, clothes, and the roofs of their homes.
Portugal and Jesuit missionaries developed friendly relations with the Bakongo people, especially their kings. The king of the Bakongo from 1506 to 1540 was Mbemba-a-Nzinga, also known as Afonso I. When a youth he had ten years of clerical instruction and had become a devout Christian. He had acquired an admiration for Christian values and European culture, and like European Christians he believed that slavery was a normal part of world affairs. Slave traders from São Tomé had followed the missionaries into Kongo, searching for slaves for Portuguese sugar plantations on São Tomé. King Afonso participated in the slave trade for the sake of revenue, but he was angered by the rapacity of the Portuguese slavers and their taking profits that he believed should be his.
Portuguese slave traders were devious in creating a greater supply of slaves. They convinced communities to rebel against Afonso's rule and then they used the rebellion as an excuse to make war against them, which created prisoners of war as a supply of slaves. And by the 1520s, slave trading had left Afonso's kingdom in turmoil, his authority undercut and some areas depopulated.
In 1522, the Portuguese took over the administration of Afonso's kingdom, while Afonso remained nominal king of the Bakongo. About 200 Portuguese were residing in São Salvador, and mixed Portuguese and Bakongo were increasing in number, some of them to fill government positions.
Afonso sent friendly letters to the king of Portugal, Manoel, complaining of the immorality and of the depredations created by Portuguese slave traders from São Tomé – letters that were confiscated in São Tomé. Afonso pleaded for more teachers, doctors and priests. He was a zealous Catholic and destroyed paganism where he could. He supplied his subjects with images of saints and crucifixes, and he built churches. His son was a bishop and was sneered at by Portuguese missionaries. Afonso's requests that reached Portugal were ignored. Manoel was more interested in developing his colony in Brazil.
Some among the Portuguese disliked the polygamy of the Bakongo, and they viewed the Bakongo as shameless regarding sins of the senses. They saw the Bakongo as uninhibited and lustful, the result, some of them thought, of the Bakongo eating food that was too spicy. And disapproval of the Bakongo extended to their fellow Portuguese – some of them clergy – who were taking black mistresses.
Critics of the Bakongo missed the self-imposed harsh controls on sexuality of the Bakongo. Boys and girls were kept apart from infancy, and both were instructed in self-control. In later adolescence they danced, and their dancing was symbolic of procreation. Their dancing shocked the missionaries, one of whom wrote that one did not describe "such things on paper."
Bakongo law concerning sexual misconduct was harsh. Adultery was considered a transgression against taboos and a tearing of the fabric of society. Those judged guilty of sexual promiscuity could be sold into slavery or wrapped in dried palm leaves and burned alive. There were incidents of adolescent boys and girls hiding together and experimenting, but defloration of a girl was considered harm done to the girl's family, and that family was allowed restitution or revenge of some sort. And the Bakongo considered homosexuality a transgression and punished it.
The attitude of Portuguese toward Bakongo morality gave them a rationale for making slaves of blacks in general. They believed that blacks were better off as slaves under the control of morally superior Europeans than left to run free – similar to Aristotle's claim concerning Greeks and their slaves.
In 1518, English traders began sailing south along the Atlantic coast of Africa, seeking gold, ivory, camwood, pepper and wax, and in the 1530s French, Flemish and Dutch traders followed the English. In mid-century, English trading companies sent several expeditions to Africa's Atlantic coast. The leader of one such expedition was John Hawkins, who tried stealing slaves rather than trading for them, but this proved too much trouble. He acquired slaves from trade, as planned, and in the Americas he sailed into Spanish ports and applied an aggressive sales technique: he threatened to burn the town down if it refused to buy his slaves.
The French arrived along Africa's Atlantic coast not long after the English, hoping to trade textiles, alcoholic drink and metal goods for pepper, hides, palm oil, gold and ivory – the French less interested in selling slaves in the Americas. The French may also have brought guns for trade, in conflict with Portugal's desire to keep guns out of the hands of Africans. The French were not as interested as the Portuguese in controlling the Africans. They were at war with the Portuguese. They looted Portuguese ships and drove the Portuguese from their position at the mouth of the Senegal River.

Theriot and the First Pitch
Theriot has regularly been pilloried in these parts for swinging at first pitch offerings. This article offers an explanation slightly different than the usual one offered around here (impatience). The author's basic conclusion is that Theriot isn't a good hitter when he gets behind in the count and pitchers are so unafraid of Theriot that they are pounding the zone. The result? Theriot feels like he has to swing at the first pitch. At the very least this adds another dimension to the Theriot discussion here and is food for thought.

This year seven long-time faculty members are retiring from the University Writing Program. Altogether, these seven people represent more than 175 YEARS of teaching. A conservative accounting suggests that, collectively, they have taught more than 25,000 students. Before there was a University Writing Program, these people developed the composition curriculum, administered the program, trained graduate students, and created numerous on-going features of what is now a thriving, independent writing program: Writing Across the Curriculum, Computers in Composition, the Professional Writing Minor, Writing Ambassadors, Prized Writing, Writing on the Edge – and many more achievements. Without these seven people, the University Writing Program, as we know it today, would not exist. We owe them all an enormous debt of gratitude. Certainly, they will all be missed.

Crop markets generally strong on Tuesday
CME traders are also anticipating seasonal strength in cash hog and wholesale pork values through mid-February, but those markets are not cooperating very well with bulls in that respect. That is, the CME lean hog index has only inched its way higher lately and remains at a modest discount to the nearby February futures price. It is expected to slip 0.05 cents to 84.59 cents/pound Wednesday. Meanwhile, pork cutout has demonstrated little strength during the first two weeks of the year. A sustained cattle market advance might also go far in boosting the hog and pork complex, but that market has not been acting very well lately either. February hogs rose one tick to 85.25 cents/pound at the Tuesday close, while June futures fell 0.25 cents to 96.60.

Fall '13′s Top New Model Runners-Up-------
Narrowing down the season's top newcomers to just ten girls is never an easy task. After following their progress through New York, London, Milan, and Paris, we admittedly feel a bit like stage moms cheering on all the rookies. But, considering Fall '13′s impressive crop of fresh faces, picking our favorites this season was even more gut-wrenching than usual.
At the end of the day, however, decisions have to be made. But the runners-up deserve a round of applause, too. At the top of our list of girls who almost made the cut is Elisabeth Erm (WILHELMINA), who shot to the front of the pack after walking Calvin Klein in New York, and then went on to kill it in Europe. She ended particularly strong in Paris, turning up at Balenciaga, Chanel, Dior, Givenchy, and Miu Miu, among others. Another girl who boasted a very impressive show list was Nicole Pollard (ELITE), a favorite of Raf Simons, who closed the month with twenty-seven top-tier turns, including Dior, Alexander Wang, Saint Laurent, Balenciaga, and Givenchy.
Some girls only walked a few shows, but that doesn't mean they went unnoticed. Take Binx Walton (NEXT), for instance. The Tennessee native racked up exclusives at Marc Jacobs and Versace, and also appeared at Miu Miu in Paris, and Giles and Sister by Sibling in London (clearly, Katie Grand, who styles both collections, is a fan). Breathtaking brunettes Elise Smidt (WOMEN) and Lauren English (IMG) also went the selective but premium route. Smidt caught the eye of casting directors in Milan, at Prada and Jil Sander, then went on to hit the runway at Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Chloé, and Dior in Paris. English emerged as a favorite of Alexander Wang (who definitely has a sixth sense for models) in New York, then turned up again on his Balenciaga catwalk in Paris. She rounded out the season with Céline, Acne Studios, Loewe, and Maison Martin Margiela. Keep an eye out for these ladies during the next few months—we have a feeling you'll be seeing more of them.

Lawton_First responders from all over southwest Oklahoma have come to Lawton to get lifesaving, hands-on natural disaster training.
It's all part of a three-day 'widespread search' class at the Great Plains Technology Center. Firefighters and police officers from various departments learned the skills to conduct search and rescues more quickly and accurately when disaster strikes.
They knocked on doors and searched buildings, all looking for any living thing that may have survived the natural disaster. Toys and stuffed animals were used to represent people and pets inside. But for a lot of the participants, the scene was all too familiar.
"A lot of these responders that are here in this class responded to Moore. And they saw firsthand what worked really well and some areas that they wish they had more information on," said Susann Brown, the class instructor.
That information would come in handy in case a disaster of that magnitude happened in their backyard. This week's training showed first responders how to best manage the situation at hand.
"The management aspect is teaching them how to take a large area that has been damaged and break it up into smaller areas that they can deal with, and then how to document what they have done and keep track of that information, so that they can make sure that they have searched all the areas they are supposed to."
Instructors also gave them the tools to be able to implement an effective search and rescue mission.
"We are actually teaching search skills that are not only easy for them to learn quickly but able to teach any volunteers that come in to assist, so they can expand the search capability of their departments."
This week's class also provided an excellent opportunity for Lawton police and firefighters to train together for widespread search and rescue missions. Training Officer Jared Williams says that helps maximize the capabilities of both departments to help people in need during times of disaster.
"When a disaster happens, it is all of us responding, not just fire, not just police, not just EMS," Williams said. "We get to know them and they get to know us. And it just brings that trust relationship between the two of us which makes both of our departments better."
This cross-training opportunity helps to make Lawton a safer and more prepared community, if a natural disaster were to strike.
"Anytime we learn how to manage an incident on a larger scale better, it helps everybody," said Williams.
Williams says that the skills learned this week are not just for times of disaster. They are something first responders can use every day.

PixelJunk Monsters Encore Coming TomorrowThe previously announced expansion for Q-Games PixelJunk Monsters will hit the PlayStation Store tomorrow at a $5.99 price point, Sony Computer Entertainment America revealed on the PlayStation Blog.
The expansion, entitled PixelJunk Monsters Encore, includes a new island, 15 new levels, five new music tracks and item cost and availability revisions. Q-Games president Dylan Cuthbert said that the expansion was created to end his wife's ceaseless nagging for more content.
"My wife simply loved the game so much she would badger me every day for more levels, so in the end I caved in," Cuthbert said. "Of course, we were also getting mails every day from people asking for more so we simply decided to listen to everyone."
The Shacknews-endorsed downloadable tower defense title was released on the PlayStation Store last January for $7.99.

The "mobile community" on the march for climate change awareness stopped in Phoenix at Margaret T. Hance Park on Monday.
"Our goal is to inspire action on the climate crisis," said Jeffery Czerwiec with The Great March for Climate Action.
When they are finished, the marchers will have walked 2,980 miles over a period of about 8 months.
"We walk about 14 or 15 miles a day," Czerwiec said. "So it's rather manageable."
He also said that people can join in and walk a segment or walk the whole thing with them.

Product Information
- Bratzillaz Magic Night Out Jade J'Adore from MGA Entertainment
- Part of the Bratz brand
- We recommend this product for ages 6 and up
What It Is
Bratzillaz was a new Bratz doll line that debuted last year, and it featured the Bratz girls as witches, using their powers for good and wearing their fashions for glam. Now the Bratzillaz are having their first dance and they are dressed to impress with the Bratzillaz Magic Night Out dolls.
Bratzillaz Magic Night Out Jade J'Adore comes with a hairbrush, doll stand, and a light-up broomstick that turns into a light-up wand for kids. Just replace the broom attachment with the crystal ball attachment. This poseable doll has beautiful glass eyes with little hearts inside them. The doll will also move its arms as if it is dancing when you twist its torso. As with all Bratzillaz, Magic Night Out Jade J'Adore comes with her "witchmark" (kind of like a tattoo) of a heart and arrow on her arm, symbolizing her ability to heal broken hearts.
Is It Fun?
There's a lot of supernatural play in fashion dolls these days, and Bratzillaz Magic Night Out dolls play into that theme with these fun and glam witches. Kids will like that they can get into the witchy play as well with the light-up wand.
Who It's For
Bratzillaz Magic Night Out Jade J'Adore is for ages 6 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
Two button cell batteries are included. These power the in-store try-me features, so it is recommended that you replace them before you play for best results.

NBC's Ann Curry to DNC Chair: What More Can You Do to Keep Democrats in Charge?
With less than two weeks to go before the midterm elections, NBC's Ann Curry on Wednesday's Today show, invited on DNC Chairman Tim Kaine to make his case and seemingly pleaded "What are you going to do, over the next 13 days...to convince voters to keep Democrats in charge?" Curry even questioned Kaine why Barack Obama hadn't energized his base earlier, specifically the youth vote, as she pressed: "If these young voters are so important...was it a mistake not to woo them sooner?" Curry then went on to quote former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove, who pointed out the Tea Party was still maturing as a movement, as she asked the former governor of Virginia "If the Tea party is not sophisticated, then why is it so difficult for your party, to convince voters otherwise?"
The following is the full interview with Tim Kaine as it was aired on the October 20 Today show:
ANN CURRY: Former Virginia Governor Tim Kaine is the chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Governor Kaine, good morning.
[On screen headline: "13 Days Until Midterms, Can Democrats Keep Control Of Congress?"]
TIM KAINE: Hey Ann, good to be back with you.
CURRY: Well great. Well if 59 percent of Americans are saying that this country is on the wrong track with Democrats in charge, what are you going to do, over the next 13 days that you haven't done already, to convince voters to keep Democrats in charge?
KAINE: Well it's important for us to continue to talk to Democrats and the American public about the achievements of the administration. We are not where we want to be yet, but Ann, after a decade of losing jobs and losing family income, the American economy is growing again and for nine straight months private sector has added jobs. We see in the NBC/Wall Street journal poll, that among registered voters, Democrats now have an edge over Republicans. We still have a gap to close among likely voters, but the President's numbers are also improving and we think we, with the President out on the trail, we think we got a real good case to make here over the next two weeks.
CURRY: Well let's take a look at how the President is trying to close that gap. He's been, basically, turning to college students. We've got him campaigning in Ohio State, earlier this week. He's also campaigned at the University of Wisconsin. He's appeared at an MTV town hall, and now he's about to appear on The Daily Show, which also boasts a young audience. This has a feeling of being sort of a last ditch, last minute effort. If these young voters are so important, this midterm elections, was it a mistake not to woo them sooner?
KAINE: No, no, no. This is a, it's important, you have an easier time getting young voters once college is back in, because you have a lot of folks together. And the message to young voters is pretty simple. You turned out in record numbers in 2008 and guess what? We have done the largest expansion of the student loan program in American history without spending an additional penny. We took it away from banks, who didn't need it. We've done a health care reform that allows youngsters to stay on their family insurance policy until age 26. And we've done important credit card reform that has helped young voters. So we have their attention, they're together. And we're reaching out, not just to young voters, but all of our voters, but they are a very important constituency.
CURRY: Well let's talk about what you're really up against because, you know, this, this swell of enthusiasm around the Tea Party. Karl Rove recently said that members of the Tea Party are amazing, but as an organization it is not sophisticated. So if this is true, if the Tea party is not sophisticated, then why is it so difficult for your party, the Democratic Party to, to convince voters otherwise?
KAINE: Well I don't think - I mean we're not trying to convince voters whether or not the Tea Party is sophisticated or not. We're trying to convince them that we can win.
CURRY: But why does it-
KAINE: I'm talking...
CURRY: What, what I'm trying to ask you, though is why-
KAINE: Yeah?
CURRY: -does the Tea Party have the Democratic Party on the ropes, if in fact, this is true, that the Tea Party is not sophisticated?
KAINE: Yeah. That's, that's not the way I look at it, Ann. The, the, it's a tough climate because the economy is hard and when people are hurting it's always going to be tough. And American history has shown that. But I'm talking here from Iowa today. I've been doing events in congressional districts in Iowa where the polls have been moving in the Democratic candidate's favor and early voting results thus far, show that Democrats are doing quite well in early voting. We've seen the governor's race here in Iowa go from a double-digit race down, our candidate Governor Culver was down to a single digit race. And all over the country, whether it's Pennsylvania, Florida, California, Colorado, Washington state, we're seeing polls move in Democrats' favor. We've got a lot of work to do, I'm glad we still have two more weeks, but you want to hit Election Day on an up-cycle and we believe that we are.
CURRY: Alright. Okay DNC Chairman Tim Kaine. Thank you so much for joining us this morning.

Like I said in a previous thread with this same dingbat, these people really have a desire to be enslaved, which is what we'll have with the democrats in charge.
So in essence, she's trying to convince voters that it's better to be shackled rather than free.
After all, who wants to have more money if people weren't taxed to death(literally too)? Who wants less government intrusion, after all, we need the government to take care of all our needs, right?

The guy leading the campaign, Obama, does not have a clue exactly what he is doing. 3 year olds have more common sense than Obama.
why would anyone even ask the question, it is quite obvious Obama is an idiot.
Obama did something I enjoy immensely. He did a video urging all to come out and vote..this video is his mandate of acceptance or his rejection..either his people vote or they don't..he laid it all on the line.
he now has 2 weeks to make it all happen, as he set his own time table for success or defeat..I love it when politicians do this..
do or die time for Obama.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., (KNOE 8 News) - If you come up with a device that works better than its predecessors, expect the competition to take notice.
Down-N-Dirty Outdoors discovered as much when it unveiled a new air-blown turkey gobble call and started to put it on the competitive outdoors equipment market last year. Hunters loved it because birds responded. Competitors wanted it because it sold.
Now, the Lewisburg, Ky.-based company is suing a rival, saying it stole its unique design and marketing an identical product of its own. Down-N-Dirty wants a judge to stop one of its top competitors, Hale & Knight Game Calls, and two related companies from selling a similar product.
Andrew Palmer, an attorney for Down-N-Dirty, declined to comment.

Bambi Bembenek
Run, Bambi, Run
Fed up with the system and fearing she might spend most of the rest of her life behind bars, Bembenek escaped from prison on July 15, 1990. She had served almost ten years already, and then had met and become engaged to Nick Gugliatto, the brother of another prisoner. With his help, she ran north to Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Many people in Milwaukee sided with her and supported her escape. Most said that, should they see her, they would not turn her in. They thought she'd gotten a bad rap. People protested openly in the streets on her behalf and even came up with a song, "Run. Bambi, Run." They made masks of her face and put bumper stickers on their cars. They wanted her to get away.
Bembenek and Gugliatto took new names from tombstones to obtain birth certificates and social security numbers. They remained free for three months, working at menial jobs, before a tourist who had seen Bembenek's picture on "American's Most Wanted" turned her in. The Canadian police picked her up just minutes before she was set to flee again.
She pleaded for refugee status, claiming that she was being persecuted by a conspiracy between the police department and the judicial system in Wisconsin. The Canadian government looked into her case and pointed out the many legal errors in her trial.
Finally, Bembenek was sent back to the states.
A judicial inquiry was undertaken that excluded the district attorney (due to charges of cover-up and conspiracy). These officials decided that no crimes had been committed leading up to the murder charge, but they detailed seven major police blunders during the investigation.
Bembenek's lawyer (a new one, since her first lawyer had turned on her) cut a deal that she would agree to "no contest" to a second degree murder charge in return for a reduced sentence, limited to time already served plus parole.
Although her innocence had not been established, she was finally free.

Bellows Falls Union High School has new stadium lights, but they aren't allowed to use them yet.
The new system was paid for with a donation, but the permits aren't in order, and it's not clear when the school will be allowed to use them.
The school district has to wait for the state to determine if the whole project is exempt from Act 250 regulations. If it isn't exempt, they'll need a permit to turn on the lights.

This film seemed like a love letter that the main actors wrote to and for each other. As such, it felt at times as though it wasn't meant for me…like I wasn't supposed to be watching it.
Before this film, I didn't care much for Paul Dano. He was okay here, though, along with everyone else. Antonio Banderas' character kept making me remember that I was watching a movie, but then again, he always does that.
Ingenious was a similarly-shot movie, and I complained about the "shaky cam" in that review…but here, it didn't bother me quite as much.
And these reviews are completely opinion-based, after all. It says so on the About page!
Product Placement
Nothing. At all.
Since it felt like it wasn't meant for me, I can't see myself returning, but it's not so bad I'd purposely stay away.

My husband and I had a great time on the Chocolate Tour last weekend. Our guide, Jessica, was great. We were a little surprised that we only went to one actual chocolate shop, but overall it was a fun way to spend an afternoon.
- Sarah Brown - Lakeview, Wednesday, October 16, 2013
Thanks for allowing me to experience the Chicago Chocolate Tour! I learned a bit about the history of chocolate and chocolate making but was a bit disappointed with the number of stops on the tour (4). We could have done a bit more walking and a little less standing around. Thanks for the opportunity though!
- Amanda Topper - Chicago, Tuesday, September 03, 2013
I've been on a chocolate tour with Chicago Chocolate Tours before (this was my third one) and they're always great. The tour guides are very knowledgeable and the samples are great. We even went to some shops on the same tour route I've done before that I'd never been to. My husband and I did this tour for our anniversary and we both enjoyed it.
- Christy S. - Grayslake, IL, Monday, August 05, 2013
The tour was fine, I was actually expecting more Chocolate shops. There were four stops on the tour and what seemed like quite a bit of walking in circles. The best part of the tour was the Belgian bakery, Hendrickx. The owner was great, spent a lot of time with the group and the food was fantastic.
- Erica - Gold Coast, Thursday, July 18, 2013
This was a very informative and diverse tour. Some mainstream, some independent shops. A diversity of types of chocolates. The guide was very knowledgable.
- Todd Beer - Chicago, Monday, July 01, 2013
I was not expecting what we received. Me and my sister were the only ones on the tour with Brianne, and although we thought it was going to be weird, it was really fun! The stops were great. I just wish they would offer water with some of the stops I was thirsty by the end of it. It was a lot of fun and I would definitely recommend it to others.
- Allison Lock - Loop Chocolate, Sunday, May 19, 2013
Our tour guide, Kristin, was a perfect perky tour guide. She was full of Chicago and Chocolate facts and always had a smile. Our first stop was Teuscher's Chocolatier, we were given a delicious champagne truffle and learned about Swiss Chocolates. From there we went to my favorite stop, Hendrickx Belgian Bread Crafters. We were given samples of 3 different breads-two with chocolate. All were delicious. As we were about to leave they mentioned that they also had the edges of the Napoleans that they cut off so the ones they sell are all square that we could try. If you do not get this lucky BUY ONE! They are amazing. From there we went to More Cupcakes. Not surprisingly we tried...cupcakes! The buttercream icing was very light and not too sweet.Then we were off to Watertower place and visited Candyality. We sampled light or dark chocolate malted milk balls as we toured the candy museum where they have clothes made of candy wrappers. And we finished at Argo Tea where they gave us a sample of chocolate tea and a chocolate croissant. I was surprised as how good the tea was since I am not a big tea fan. Chocolate and Chicago...what's not to like?

I bought the Chocolate Tour for my husband as one of his birthday gifts - since he is a chocolate lover. I enjoyed it myself also. It is something that you should experience at least once. It was great seeing all of the local chocolate places that you would have never stopped foot in. Of course i found my favorite cupcake place called MORE =)...Overall it was a great time.
- Kathy - Chicago, Wednesday, October 05, 2011
Wife gifted tour to me as I have an extreme sweet tooth addiction. We both had an absolute blast! Actually, I think she had more fun than I. We agree that the white chocolate bread was the best sample on the tour. Our guide was pleasant, knowledgable & fun. Go with an 'I'm gonna have fun' attitude & act a little goofy...you won't regret it. After all, we are just big kids in a candy store - enjoy.
- Steve & Carol Flores - Mag Mile, Tuesday, August 09, 2011
The tour guide was very upbeat and knowledgeable. No complaints about her - in fact I would recommend her for more tours. The tour itself was really just a marketing tool for the local shops. We expected more information re: the history of chocolate etc but instead found ourselves in the middle of a two hour marketing pitch.
- Sally - Gold Coast, Tuesday, June 28, 2011
My husband and I had a wonderful time. This was one of my Christmas gifts. Our guide was knowledgable and fun. The places we toured were distinct from each other and I enjoyed visiting places which I may not have known without this tour.
- Kristen Ferrigan - Chicago, Tuesday, June 14, 2011
Loved the chocolate tour....recommending it to others!
- Cindy Kostaken - Gold Coast, Tuesday, June 07, 2011
I gave this as a gift to my husband for Christmas, and we really had no idea what to expect. Our tour guide, Claire, was energetic and informative about chocolate, and she even gave us a little bit of history and architecture information on the City. But the highlight, of course, was the chocolate. We began at Teuscher's for an authentic Swiss champaigne-filled dark chocolate truffle, which was something we had never experienced before. Add to that the cupcakes and other goodies, and we were in heaven for 2-1/2 hours. Great job!
- Madeline - Streamwood, Tuesday, August 17, 2010
Our guide was very informative and made the tour pleasant. One problem....One member of our group has a allergy to nuts. There were no provisions for substitute tastings when the offering had nuts in it. As a result, she missed several tastings. We asked if she could have a substitution but it was not supplied. We would have enjoyed the tour much more if she was able to participate in all of it.
- Cathy Unger - Chicago, Wednesday, August 11, 2010
This was a unique and fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Ellen was our guide and was very informative and friendly. We sampled some wonderful chocolate from a variety of places. Would recommend this to anyone!

They say that downtown is the heart of a city.
Steph Scheurer travels to Dickinson and shows us one new business that's adding a little more color to downtown.
It was an idea that began over a cup of coffee.
"We identified the niche and just kind of took off. We're like let's just do it. Took a leap of faith," says Josh Hardin, Curator, Celebrations 'n' Crafts.
They started their own business.
A dream both Amanda Galster and Josh Hardin shared.
Dickinson is bursting with new businesses downtown but Amanda and Josh noticed something was missing.
"We looked at the arts and the crafts and realized there was nothing here. You couldn't find any place to buy all original art. You couldn't get art supplies, things like that," says Hardin.
This building began as their blank canvas and from their creative minds came "Celebration 'n' Crafts."
"We have probably at least 14 different artists in here from the paintings on the wall to the crafts made. We have hand made candles, hand made jewelry, crochet work, just everything and so we really wanted to be a quaint, nice, cultured little store where you can find pretty much anything handmade that you can imagine," says Amanda Galster, Curator, Celebration 'n' Crafts.
Everything in the store is local and handmade.
Celebration 'n' Crafts has only been open for a week but they're already seeing an excited response from the community.
"This has been a lot of fun. It's been great and it's just so much fun just having all the downtown businesses so, we've been so well received and they're just so excited to have us and just seeing all the new smiling faces come in it's just, it's my dream job," says Galster.
And they celebrate it every day...
"We're pretty lucky, yeah I think so," say Galster and Hardin.
Galster and Hardin are always looking for new artists and photographers to showcase.
If you're interested in showing off your masterpieces to the community, you can contact them at 701-260-5210.
