Here in Portland, Oregon, things are going really well for the local Professional Soccer team. The Timbers are tied for first in the conference (third in PPG), and are still alive in the US Open Cup, a prestigious tournament that all but one team takes with the utmost seriousness.
But there is one very big, burning question for the team that still remains: Do we have enough Fullbacks?
Last week, Portland's starting (and only apparent) left back, Michael Harrington, went down with a mysterious ankle injury that prevented him from training, and ultimately from competing in Sunday's game against the Colorado Rapids. In his place was the converted CDM-to-RB Jack Jewsbury, who himself has been rotated out of the squad numerous times this season. Posting in the right-back position was Ryan Miller, a player who fans had all-but-forgotten about until he started over Jewsbury against the Galaxy--a move that was likely due to a simple squad rotation to keep players fresh.
This, however, poses another problem. Jewsbury, Miller, and Harrington are the only "true" fullbacks that the Timbers are currently employing. Portland has tried a few other options, such as Ben Zemanski (CM) during a couple regular season games, and Sal Zizzo (RM) and Raushawn McKenzie (CB) who both played RB during US Open Cup games. While Zemanski was actually fairly decent at right back, I assume very few of us would actually feel very comfortable with either of the other two at this point.
If you think that's scary, though, look at our options for left-back: We have Harrington (injured, assumed minor), Silvestre (out for season), Jewsbury and Miller (both right backs), and Rodney Wallace, who was never really good back at LB and is outrageously good at LW. It's not a good situation over there.
You're probably thinking to yourself, "How did we let this happen to us over the offseason?" As of preseason, we had theoretically 4 options at both left back (Harrington, Wallace, Silvestre, and Taylor) and right back (Miller, Jewsbury, Kawulok, Zizzo). Then again, we also had 7 healthy center backs. Portland was EASILY covered across the entire back line, yet due to injuries, needs elsewhere, and personal matters, what looked like our best part of the field was suddenly stretched paper-thin.
So at this point, what do we do? Do we use the upcoming transfer window to look for extra depth (knowing that last year, all that yielded was Kosuke Kimura)? Or do we trust that our utility men can fill in where they need to?
With the recent injury to Michael Harrington and the general lack of a designed replacement, what do you think the team should do (if anything) in response?

Core Studies
Transmission of Aggression through imitation of aggressive models
Bandura et al (1961)
Short Summary
This study investigated whether learning can take place by simply watching role models and imitating their behaviour. Boys and girls in a nursery witnessed men and women being physically and verbally aggressive towards an inflatable doll. The researchers then observed the children's response to a small version of the doll after they had seen the aggressive role models, passive role models or no role model at all. It was found that children who witnessed the aggressive role models were more aggressive than those who hadn't. Boys were more aggressive than girls, and this was even true after matching children in each of the three groups based on how aggressive they were to begin with so that the groups were similar.
Long Summary
TheoryConsider the limitations of behaviourism and how watching somebody else can be a good way of learning. This is known as "modelling", and would be a good way of describing how, for example, language is learnt.
- Participants exposed to aggressive models will reproduce aggressive acts resembling those of the models to a significantly greater extent than both participants exposed to non-aggressive models and those not exposed to any models at all (control group); (This is the major, overall, hypothesis.)
- Participants exposed to subdued, non-aggressive models will display significantly less imitative aggression than control group participants will.
- Participants will imitate the behavior of same-sex models to a greater degree than opposite-sex models.
- Boys will be more likely to imitate aggression than girls, especially when they are exposed to aggressive male models.
Participants36 boys and 36 girls. Stanford University Nursery School. 3 - 5 years old.
Experimental DesignIndependent groups matched on aggression (51 potential experimental subjects observed independently; Observer's ratings 0.89 using Pearson product-moment, p is less than 0.0005). 8 experimental groups of 6 subjects, also a control group of 24. Aggressive / Non-Aggressive model x sex of subject x sex of role model (2 x 2 x 2 = 8).
Experimental ConditionsChildren exposed to either aggressive or non-aggressive condition individually. Child occupied with potato printing. Experimenter led model to opposite corner of room. Non-aggressive condition, model plays quietly with tinker-toy set, ignoring Bobo doll. Aggressive condition, model plays quietly for first minute, then hits Bobo repeatedly, in a prescribed fashion. The model also uses verbal (scripted) aggression. Both conditions last 10 minutes. at the end of the experimental condition the experimenter bids the goodbye to the model; this implies that the experimenter is supporting the Models behaviour. This is important because later versions of this experiment demonstrated that vicarious modelling can effectively facilitate imitation. Vicarious modelling means observing the model being either rewarded or punished for their behaviour. Aggression arousal.
After being taken to another room, child is aggressively aroused by the experimenter. This was achieved by allowing the child to become interested in toys, and then, after two minutes, stopping them. It was explained that they are not for that child to play with, but are to be kept for the use of others.
There are two reasons why 'aggression arousal' was used:
- Rosenbaum and deCharms (1960) found that immediately after observing aggressive behaviour, subjects were less likely to be aggressive, which, in this experiment, means that children in the 'aggression' condition are less likely to be aggressive than the children in either of the other two conditions.
- The arousal gives an opportunity for the 'non-aggressive' children to demonstrate the anticipated inhibiting effect.
Test for delayed imitationTested in yet another room. An adult remains in the room with the child ostensibly quietly dealing with some paperwork. This is to prevent the child from leaving the room prematurely. Toys, half aggressive (e.g. dart gun) and half non-aggressive are always placed in a specific order. Observed by two independent observers who were supposed to have no knowledge of group assignment, for half of the trials, and by one observer for the rest. One of the observers was the male model. Even though he did not observe any child he had modelled for, he knew that the child had been exposed to a female model, or had been a control. The observers are behind a one-way mirror.
Observations carried out by counting the number of time units (5 seconds) in which aggressive or non-aggressive behaviour had occurred. Children observed for 20 minutes. High inter-scorer reliability.
Response Measures
- Imitation of Physical Aggression
- Imitative Verbal aggression
- Imitative non-aggressive verbal responses
- Mallet aggression
- Sits on Bobo doll
- Punches Bobo doll
- Non-imitative physical and verbal aggression
- Aggressive Gun Play
Effect of same sex model: The male model influences the boys more than the girls and vice versa. Same sex imitation has been explained as the result of reinforcement in the home for sex appropriate behaviour by parents. So children find it more rewarding to copy same sex parents (Fauls and Smith, 1956).Aggressive models cause the children to be more aggressive, and this extends to behaviour that was not specifically modelled (non-imitative aggression). Non-aggressive models cause the children to exhibit less mallet aggression and sitting on Bobo, compared with the controls. 'Aggressive gun play' and 'punching Bobo' is not affected by modelling. Boys were found to be more aggressive than girls. Aggression is expected more from boys, so this would explain why boys are more aggressive; simply because they are reinforced in the home and elsewhere for aggressive behaviour.
Not only were specific violent acts imitated but also the children generalised their violence, for example, playing aggressively with plastic farm animals.
Because of the small sample size (6 in each condition) it is not possible to tell whether the results are significant between specific conditions. By lumping together boys and girls, this gives 4 conditions with 12 subjects in each; This enables significance to be detected more easily.
Qualitative data is given in the form of quotes from the children who comment on the misappropriateness of the aggressive female's actions.
DiscussionSkinner (1953) behaviour has to be reinforced to be learnt; this is not the case here. Bandura developed his Social Learning Theory, which emphasises the importance of the imitation of suitable role models. You may wish to consider which models would be most influential for particular children. Also consider how the child would be rewarded or reinforced for copying a model's behaviour. Bandura explains that the children's behaviour could be explained by using Freud's idea of identifying with the aggressor.
Theoretical IssuesThe social learning theory explanation of aggression contrasts with:
- Instinct theories, for example Freud's Catharsis(meaning that aggression is necessary and has to be released from time to time perhaps in a sublimated form such as sport) and Lorenz's evolutionary explanation.
- Drive Theories, for example Dollard et al's frustration-aggression hypothesis.
- informative
- motivational
- emotional learning
- influenceability, which is affected by the Models response to reinforcement; whether the observer likes the reward or not.
- Modification of Models status, high if rewarded, low if not.
- Evaluation, unjust punishment will lessen the effect.
Subsequent ResearchBandura Ross and Ross (1963) had four-year-olds watch a film of Johnny and Rocky (adults). Johnny had attractive toys. In one condition Rocky aggresses and wins the toys and in the other condition Rocky aggresses and is beaten up by Johnny. Not surprisingly the children in the first condition, where Rocky is rewarded, imitate the aggression. Bandura (1965) had three conditions:
- model rewarded
- model punished
- model neither rewarded nor punished
Our behaviour according to Bandura (1986) is itself regulating, that is self-governing the by self-evaluation. There are three stages of self regulation:
- self observation
- Judgemental process or personal standard, based on reactions of others and observation of respected Models
- self response processes, satisfaction, pride upon reaching or exceeding one's personal standard or self dissatisfaction, self criticism, for not achieving one's personal standard.
- The films in later experiments were only three and half minutes long and lacked plots or justification for the violence portrayed. The experiment thus lacks ecological validity.
- Children who had not seen a Bobo doll before were five times as likely to aggress towards it (Cumberbatch, 1995). Further, children said that they felt they were expected to perform aggressively towards the doll. The experiment suffered from demand characteristics, but having said that the specific nature of the imitative aggression and the generalised aggression to other toys would suggest that the modelling was effective.
- Were there any long-term effects? Hicks (1965) found that 40% of the Model's acts could be reproduced six to 8 months after one showing of a film lasting under 10 minutes.
- Aggression? Or just play? Would the child aggress towards another human? Support for this view comes from Johnson et al. (1977) who found that play aggression correlates with ratings of aggression by peers (0.76) and teachers (0.57). Note that this shows why it was important for Bandura to control for rated aggression.
- The experiment was conducted in a permissive setting which was not ecologically valid.
Applications and implications of social learning theoryCopy cat hijackings
Air hijackings were unknown in the US prior to 1961. Then some Cuban airlines planes were hijacked which sparked off a wave of hijackings culminating in a peak of 87 hijackings in 1969 (Mischel, 1986).
Observing somebody else being scared of something is enough to start a phobia. Vicarious modelling can be used to remove phobias.

Grade: A
Me: "April, why would you give 'Hostel: Part II' an A?"
April: "It used irony perfectly. In Hostel we see something you don't stereotypically see in horror/gore movies; perfect saturated irony."
True horror movies are odd beasts. The best ones produce a unique feeling in the gut, a trembling little voice that says: "What am I doing here? Why am I watching this movie? Why am I subjecting myself to this intensely unpleasant experience? A part of me really wants to get out of here."
It's the rare horror film that manages to pull it off since, as is generally known by most people, the vast majority of horror films are absolute crap - cliché-ridden, absurd, ultra-predictable crap. (Those films might generate a similar sentiment, though the voice will be more of profound annoyance instead of deep dread.) I can report, though, that both the original "Hostel" and its sequel somehow managed to be the former voice rather the latter.
The first "Hostel" was released in January 2006. I was quite eager to see it because it was the sophomore effort of Eli Roth, whose first picture, 2003's "Cabin Fever" was a very entertaining horror film. "Cabin Fever" had an interesting tone, blending lots of blood with traditional, old school '80s horror elements as well as lighter, more humorous moments. "Hostel" promised to be a much more serious, hardcore effort. The original's premise: American backpackers in Europe are lured to a hostel in Slovakia where they are kidnapped and taken to a private "hunting club" where "clients" pay to torture and murder.
There were many things that made "Hostel" special. One was the distinct trick that it played, a particularly rare one in cinema: the indicting of the audience. In "Hostel" we're immediately given three characters that we absolutely loath with a capital L - two young American men and their Icelandic friend. They're exploring Europe with a singular mission in mind: to have as much exploitive, meaningless sex as possible. From the very beginning of the film we're all thinking the same thing: let the torture begin! Let's have these jerks get what's coming to them! And then, when the torture actually does begin, suddenly we're no longer celebrating. It's suddenly that "intensely unpleasant experience." The horror is horrible, not some kind of entertainment.
"Hostel: Part II," as good sequels do, takes the set-up of the original and twists it, showing us different angles of the original idea. This time our protagonists are a bit more sympathetic instead of the ugly Americans of the first. Beth (Lauren German,) Whitney (Bijou Phillips,) and Lorna (Heather Matarazzo) are college art students studying in Rome. Beth is a rich heiress, Whitney something of a party girl, and Lorna a homesick, somewhat nerdy good girl - the typecast role Matarazzo has played so well her entire career. Like in the first film several characters work to lure the victims to the hostel.
When the young women check into their hostel the clerk takes their passports. He takes Beth's and scans it into a computer. Her image is then sent all over the world. Rich men and women look at their cell phones and proceed to bid on her - ponying up tens of thousands of dollars for the chance to torture her to death. The man who wins the auction flies to Slovakia with a friend who's a bit nervous about the whole thing. The film will follow them too as they meet their future victim and prepare to do what they've paid for.
Ultimately what horror films devolve into is the escape. The victims are in some horrible situation, there's some crazed killer(s) after them, and they must flee. And, oh, does Roth cook up one hell of a spot for his damsels in great distress to attempt their getaway. His script is also such that he sets up an expected exit. He characterizes certain characters so that we begin to piece together what we expect will happen. And then he subverts everything, giving us a conclusion unlike any other horror movie.
There's one other matter that needs to be noted as well. It's both a point of strange admiration and a warning: I have no idea how on earth this movie got an R. There are several moments that take the hypothetical envelope and shred it. But anyone even considering seeing the film probably already knew to expect that.
Me: "How is it 'perfect saturated irony?'"
April: "I think the ending in particular reeks of psychological irony, forcing everyone to think and make connections."

It's a special start to the new year for Scott Turner and his family as the 18-year veteran was sworn in as Chief at the headquarters in Three Rivers this morning.
Chief Turners said family has always been important to him. His father is why he went into the business. "He's the whole reason I've always wanted to become a fire fighter. I've never wanted anything else and that's really because of him", said Turner.
It wasn't just family supporting him today. Members of the community came out to welcome their new fire chief on this New Year's Day.
"It means a lot. On a day like today for people to get out early for something like this," said Turner.
When it comes to business, Chief Turner will be working closely with surrounding district fire departments, and fellow firemen said its something he'll do well.
"We work very well together. Responding to the public all the time with citizens. I believe he'll be a good chief and he'll be here a long time", said Captain Gary Majak.
Chief Turner can't express enough how much this day means.
"For me this position is a huge honor, I cant even explain or put it into words how much it means", said Turner. He looks forward to working with the fire chiefs in Palmer and Bondsville.

Associated Press
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - The family of a man accused of mailing ricin-tainted letters to the president and a U.S. senator says they have tried for years to get him help for his mental illness.
Jack Curtis issued a statement on behalf of the family of his brother, Paul Kevin Curtis, on Thursday evening. It says Kevin Curtis' mental problems, which include bipolar disorder, cause the man to believe he does not need medical treatment.
The family says that Kevin Curtis refuses to take his medication, and that there is no legal way for them to force him to do so. They say they do not know details of the charges against Kevin Curtis.
The statement says that when Kevin Curtis does take his medication as prescribed, he is a loving and intelligent person.

Flashback to May 2009: Media Ignored U.S. Military Burning Bibles to Appease Afghans
As violent, deadly demonstrations have broken out in Afghanistan following the recent accidental burning of Korans, it's interesting to look back nearly three years ago when the U.S. military burned a shipment of Holy Bibles written in the Pashto and Dari languages. The military destroyed the Bibles rather than ship them back stateside apparently out of fear the American church that sent them would just try shipping them back through other channels to Afghanistan.
The al-Jazeera network was involved in the breaking of the story, but a search of Nexis found no stories from the time by the Washington Post or New York Times nor the ABC, CBS, or NBC networks about the disposal of the Christian holy texts.
Here's an excerpt about the story from a May 20, 2009 article at CNN.com (emphasis mine):
Military personnel threw away, and ultimately burned, confiscated Bibles that were printed in the two most common Afghan languages amid concern they would be used to try to convert Afghans, a Defense Department spokesman said Tuesday.
The unsolicited Bibles sent by a church in the United States were confiscated about a year ago at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan because military rules forbid troops of any religion from proselytizing while deployed there, Lt. Col. Mark Wright said.
Such religious outreach can endanger American troops and civilians in the devoutly Muslim nation, Wright said.
"The decision was made that it was a 'force protection' measure to throw them away, because, if they did get out, it could be perceived by Afghans that the U.S. government or the U.S. military was trying to convert Muslims," Wright told CNN on Tuesday.
Troops at posts in war zones are required to burn their trash, Wright said.
The Bibles were written in the languages Pashto and Dari.
This decision came to light recently, after the Al Jazeera English network aired video of a group prayer service and chapel sermon that a reporter said suggested U.S. troops were being encouraged to spread Christianity.
The military denied that earlier this month, saying much in the video was taken out of context.
"This was irresponsible and dangerous journalism sensationalizing year-old footage of a religious service for U.S. soldiers on a U.S. base and inferring that troops are evangelizing to Afghans," Col. Gregory Julian said.
The military says a soldier at Bagram received the Bibles and didn't realize he wasn't allowed to hand them out. In the Al Jazeera video, which shows the Bibles at the prayer service, an unnamed soldier says members of his church raised money for them.
The chaplain later corrected the soldier and confiscated the Bibles, Wright said.
Military officers considered sending the Bibles back to the church, he said, but they worried the church would turn around and send them to another organization in Afghanistan -- giving the impression that they had been distributed by the U.S. government.
The Bibles could easily have been shipped back stateside but were burned to prevent a possible, but not likely, future delivery of those same Bibles back to Afghanistan. The military bent over backwards to avoid religious conflict with Islamists who can't abide the idea of a Muslim converting to Christianity and not paying for it with his or her blood.
Yet the mainstream media paid no attention to the story.

While the full Senate unanimously approved a bill that would have delayed the analog-to-digital television transition from February 17 to June 12, the House of Representatives voted 258–168 in favor of it, but failed to reach a two-thirds majority required for passage because of the special legislative process used that expedites legislation by limiting debate. House Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Joe Barton, R-Texas, led the opposition, and has since introduced a bill that would provide additional funds for converter box coupons without moving the transition date. It is possible that the House will revote next week using a conventional process that mandates full debate. Under those rules, the bill would only need to pass by a simple majority. House Energy & Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Calif., said that he is working with Congressional leadership and President Obama's administration to "explore all available options." The American Advertising Federation, Association of National Advertisers, and American Association of Advertising Agencies issued a statement in advance of the vote supporting the delay, stating that according to Nielsen Media Research, as of January 2009, 6.5 million households are "completely unready" for digital-only broadcasts, and another 10.5 million households contained at least one television that was not ready to receive digital signals. A copy of the statement is available here.
– Back to Top –
In a speech to the Media Institute, Federal Communications Commissioner Robert McDowell warned against any attempt to reimpose the fairness doctrine. He suggested that the doctrine would not be reintroduced using the same name but could be included as part of localism, diversity or network neutrality efforts, stating, "According to some, the premise of any of these initiatives is similar to the philosophical underpinnings of the doctrine: the government must keep electronic conduits of information viewpoint neutral." In the speech, McDowell noted that while campaigning, President Barack Obama said that he did not support the doctrine, and expounded that the new administration should state "its strong opposition to anything resembling the fairness doctrine." The fairness doctrine requires broadcasters to air contrasting points of view on controversial issues and was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1987.

The National Advertising Review Council announced the expansion of its board to include the CEOs of the Electronic Retailing Association, the Direct Marketing Association and the Interactive Advertising Bureau. The move represents the first expansion of the NARC board since the organization was created in 1971 by the American Advertising Federation, American Association of Advertising Agencies, Association of National Advertisers and the Council of Better Business Bureaus Inc. "The ERA, DMA and IAB are strong, effective supporters of self-regulation," said Eric Mower, NARC board chair and president and CEO of Eric Mower and Associates, Syracuse, N.Y. NARC's goal is to foster truth and accuracy in national advertising through voluntary self-regulation.

The question came up today in another thread about the retaining of Vinny's staff, and more importantly if any would have to be bought out. KC Johnson is my new best friend on twitter, so when I asked him he answered, yet also shamed me by point out it was already reported. It was:
The Bulls held team options on assistants Bernie Bickerstaff and Bob Ociepka, which won't be exercised. It's likely assistants Pete Myers and Mike Wilhelm will remain in the organization.
KC softened that determination on Ociepka, saying he may remain depending on the new hire. I'll also assume that Org. guys Myers and Wilhelm staying means the same for Lindsey Hunter. Not sure on new big man coach Sidney Green.
The important thing is that nobody was under contract that needed to be bought out, I was worried maybe Bernie was getting a few hundred K to leave.

This was going to be about how guilty I was feeling about receiving a free sample. You see, I signed up on a "green" website that offered entry into competitions and also sent you a free sample of Ecover Washing Powder. I got the free sample through the post last week, and immediately felt guilty about it. The packaging to send it in the mail, the energy used to get it to me, the small envelope containing the sample, the fact that I didn't need it since I use Ecover anyway.
But like I said it was going to be about guilt - then I won one of the competitions! I'm now the proud owner of one of these, a Bayliss Wind-up & Solar Powered Mini Eco Radio. Guilt? Nah, I'm as consumerist as the next man...given the right product!

The Alabama Crimson Tide is favored to beat the LSU Tigers by 4.5 points at the moment. But since this game is going to be bet about as hard as the national title game, it's time to take a look at the other stuff you could elect to throw your money at, courtesy of Bodog.com:
Will the winner of the Alabama & LSU game win the BCS Championship?
Yes 1/2
Will Alabama & LSU play each other in the BCS National Championship Game?
Yes 2/1
Wouldn't mind betting against the latter. As 2006 showed, voters don't like setting up rematches. And that was with only one unbeaten BCS-conference team, not the approximately eleventy this year will offer up.
Will there be a Defensive or Special Team Touchdown scored in the game?
Yes +150
No -200
Alabama has two defensive touchdowns (Courtney Upshaw and DeQuan Menzie), with Marquis Maze adding a punt return score. Morris Claiborne scored on a kick return for LSU, with Tyrann Mathieu and Ron Brooks reaching the end zone thrice on defense. That's seven non-offensive scores in 16 total games so far, many of those against bad offenses.
Total Offensive Yards (Both Teams Combined)
Over/Under 631
Total Offensive Yards - Alabama
Over/Under 354.5
Total Offensive Yards -LSU
Over/Under 276.5
Each team averages about 100 yards more than those figures, but they've yet to face teams as good as each other. Could go by last year: LSU 433, Alabama 325, making for 758 total. Then again, both defenses are better than they were last year. Then again, Jarrett Lee's pretty good. This has been a whole lot of help.
Will Tyrann Mathieu record a Forced Fumble?
Yes +200
No -300
Will Tyrann Mathieu record an Interception?
Yes +150
No -200
I really can't think of anything more SEC than betting on fumble forcery. The Honey Badger has nine forced fumbles in 20 career games, but hasn't logged one since Oct. 1. Think he's due? For what it's worth, Alabama's lost all of three fumbles in eight games.
Who will have more Passing & Rushing Yards?
LSU QB's
+11.5 (-130)
A.J. McCarron (Alabama) -11.5 (Even)
Fun fact: neither of these teams passes all that much. Combined, they've thrown 13 more passes than Texas Tech all by itself. Bama ranks 86th in pass attempts, while LSU ranks 109th. The Tigers are good for a big play or two per game, while the Alabama passing game might be the Tide's relative weakness. Lee and McCarron rank No. 1 and 2 in the SEC in passing efficiency.
Bama averages about 40 yards more per game passing than LSU does. But the sneaky thing to consider here ... what if McCarron has to leave for a few plays? LSU's side counts for both Lee and Jordan Jefferson, who's tacked on 41 yards per game since returning. But if Phillip Sims had to play a series, it wouldn't count towards your wager here. Important things to think about.

Prince George's County Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department (PGFD) announced its 2011 Fireworks Amnesty Program on Monday, which they said will remain in effect through July 20, 2011.
The PGFD stated "Plain and simple – ALL consumer fireworks from the smallest to the largest are illegal," according to Prince George's County law. It is illegal for any person to to manufacture, possess, store, offer for sale, sell, discharge, use, burn, or explode any fireworks in Prince George's County, Md., the PGFD stated, adding the exception is that a licensed professional pyrotechnic may conduct an authorized display.
Penalties for violations of the law include a fine of up to $1,000 and/or six months in jail, according to the PGFD.
Until July 20, 2011, the PGFD stated, citizens in Prince George's County who turn in fireworks will not risk arrest and/or fines.
A member of the Fire/EMS Department will come to homes or businesses and remove fireworks, the PGFD said. Interested citizens can call the County's Fire/Emergency Medical Services Department Operations Center at 301-583-2200. Citizens may also use this number to number to report the illegal use of fireworks in Prince George's County.
PGFD stated they respond to several calls for fireworks-related injuries each year and that every year near the Fourth of July, they see and hear of thousands of injuries and deaths in the U.S. due to accidents involving fireworks. It saddens them that many involve children.
This is the ninth year of the Fire/EMS Department's Amnesty Program. As a result, "Thousand of pieces of dangerous fireworks have been turned over to authorities during this period," PGFD reported.

Hiller injured tonight, Ducks using AHL callup
Hiller injured tonight, Ducks using AHL callupI've been watching the Anaheim-Columbus game tonight, and Hiller was knocked out in the first period with a leg or groin injury. Ellis got hurt a few days ago so they have an AHL callup in goal right now with zero NHL experience. Trading within the division is always risky, so I don't know if a move would end up happening for Nitty or whoever. That said, is there anyone on the Ducks roster that would fit the Sharks' needs if the Ducks panic and try to acquire a goaltender?

Item: Nivotest: A Pocket Tool for Avalanche Risk Assessing
Title: Nivotest: A Pocket Tool for Avalanche Risk Assessing
Proceedings: Proceedings of the 2000 International Snow Science Workshop, October 1-6, Big Sky, Montana
- Dr. R. Bolognesi [ Meteorisk, Switzerland ]
Date: 2000
Abstract: NivoTest is dedicated to free riders (using skis, snowboards, snowmobiles, etc.) who feel concerned by avalanches. It is designed to help to assess avalanche risk for a given mountain route. It is a small card (3.3' x 5.9') with a revolving graduated disk. On the face of NivoTest, one can read some questions about weather, snow pack, past avalanches, topography and group competence. According to the answers, one has to turn the disk or not. The final position of the disk indicates the local avalanche risk level. Corresponding advise is written on verso. NivoTest is based on classic risk theory and scoring techniques. It was developed from results of research about local avalanche forecasting as well as field experiments recorded into NivoLog databases. The use of NivoTest is very easy and does not require any instrument. The skier only has to look around and observe snow and terrain to make a diagnosis, and then, his decision. Thus NivoTest is a pocket decision tool as well as a friendly teaching support.

National Tests Show Miss. Makes Small GainsBy Annie Gilbertson | Published 02 Nov 2011 06:28pm |
New national test results show many Mississippi 8th graders are doing better at adding and subtracting fractions and isolating a variable. But as MPB's Southern Education Desk reporter Annie Gilbertson reports the news is not all good.
The newly released National Assessment of Educational Progress scores show that Mississippi is one of only 13 states showing significant gains in 8th grade math performance.
These students at Stringer Attendance Center, a K12 school in the small town outside of Laurel, drill the order of operations every day. Remember Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally? It's a mnemonic that helps students remember the order - parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.
Michelle Green, a math teacher at Stringer says having a firm understanding of the basics is vital to students in the years leading up to 8th grade. They need it too, because she says 8th grade math is a bit of a game changer.
Green: "It's just a different way of thinking. It's a little bit more abstract than they're used to. They have to read between the lines some. They have to know what a lot of vocabulary means. So it does. It makes them think a little bit harder."
Green says part of the credit for higher scores goes to the Mississippi Department of Education, which she said emphasized building a strong foundation in the early grades and increased expectations in the later grades.
But despite the increased math success among 8th graders, by comparison, 4th grade math scores only went up slightly . And reading scores for both 4th and 8th grade didn't vary significantly from 2009 scores. On average, only around 1 in 5 students are performing at a proficient or advanced level on these national assessment tests. James Mason, the Director of Student Assessment at the Mississippi Department of Education, says that's not good enough.
Mason: "Clearly we are not where we need to be. I think these scores should serve as some what a wake-up call. As we move forward we are going to continue to raise the bar."
Mason says Common Core, the new national standards Mississippi adopted, will provide the next big push for more complex and comprehensive reading and math education. And more competitive national test scores will follow.

T. M. Scanlon, the Alford Professor of Natural Religion, Moral Philosophy, and Civil Polity at Harvard University, is one of the most important moral philosophers of the last fifty years. His development of contractualism, essentially a theory of "what we owe to each other," has been widely influential in the fields of ethics, political philosophy, and social philosophy. Scanlon has published over 60 articles and chapters, and his books What We Owe to Each Other, Moral Dimensions, and the Difficulty of Tolerance have been hailed as seminal works in the fields of moral and political philosophy. He has been awarded numerous grants and fellowships, including the Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellowships, and has served as the President of the American Philosophical Association as well as currently serving as a Fellow of both the British Academy and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Oh hey Lookout Landing! Didn't see ya there. Remember that one time Felix threw a perfect game? Pretty sweet right. Well today, I was out walking, listening to some tunes, and "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows" shuffled on into my eardrums. Of course this song immediately brought to mind the wonderful memories of being in the Kings Court during that wonderful moment, and I couldn't help myself from smiling and laughing, eliciting some odd looks from others on the street. Sweet story right? Oh, you don't think so? You think that this story is pointless and self serving, well heres a point to throw at ya buddy.
I want to make a permanent avenue for us all to be able to pop on some tunes and remember Felix's perfect game. Therefore, I hereby propose that we, the readers, commenters and lurkers of Lookout Landing, create a playlist that reminds and embodies Felix's perfect game. A Perfect playlist, per se. That way, whenever we're feeling down, we can turn on our Ipod's (or Zune's) and remember that 'hey, Felix threw a perfect game, that's pretty sweet!'
So I propose that people suggest songs that they feel are appropriate for this playlist in the comments, and if you agree that it should go on the playlist, you can rec that comment, and then the 15 (arbitrary cutoff) songs with the most recs after a week will be the official, Lookout Landing playlist for Felix's perfect game.
When you suggest a song, put a link to a manner in which we can all listen to it (youtube or whatever) and maybe a little explanation of why you think it fits.
I hope you all like this idea and I'll get it started with a few suggestions of my own. Here we go!

When I visited Ulrich Museum to view the Faculty Biennial Exhibit I had a really hard time choosing just one exhibit to blog about. They were all very unique and each one expressed their own version of the inspiration and innovation that can be found here at WSU. There were 2 that I was particularly fond of, first Annies' wax table with the image projecting into the tea cup really stood out from all of the rest, and the Pop-Cycles Series because it seemed relevant to what we have been learning from Keith in class, because it used LED's to create color.
I also had the opportunity to stop by Shiftspace for the last final friday to check out the exhibits by Brady Hall & Mike Wood. It was interesting how Brady & Mikes' pieces worked off of each other, each one of Brady's pieces seem to have some kind of movement and/or mechanical operation associated with it, whereas Mikes' pieces where all stationary. The dynamic that was created by the two different sets of artistic styles was almost a high/low effect where at one piece you are thinking in terms of how did he do that, then at the next piece you are thinking what does he mean by that.
Last, but not least, I attended the Mel Chin Artist Lecture at McKnight. I was very impressed by Mel Chin right off the bat because he is quite obviously a well educated man, but he also exudes a sense of sincerity that I could feel all the way at the back of the room. To me, the highlight of the lecture was when he started discussing the "fundred" project. Which is a result from the disaster in Louisianna know as Hurricaine Katrina. This project is based on the fact that there was a "known malevolent presence" as Mel Chin stated, that existed in New Orleans, LA from before Hurricaine Katrina hit. What Mel Chin was referring to was the high content of led found in the soils of New Orleans, LA. The hurricaine also brought that led towards the surface, and even though it was affecting the children of New Orleans, LA before, it is at an all time high now and is even more dangerous. So through this project, Mel Chin hopes to persuade our government to actually do something about it. You can get all of the details of the project at: http://fundred.org You can also learn more about Mel Chin at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Chin

By adopting more efficient engine technology, auto-guidance and conservation tillage, you're reducing your impact on the environment. Wouldn't it be great if that made customers prefer your products? Wouldn't it be even better if they opened their pocketbooks and rewarded you for it?
Carl Hays of San Luis Obispo, Calif., believes that will happen because of a conservation farming certification program he is devising for farmers, which will lead to conservation-branded products for consumers.
Hays' idea germinated when he was working for AutoFarm on GPS for tractors. "It made me wish consumers could understand how auto-guidance systems enable farmers to conserve fuel and be more 'green,'" he says.
"New engine technology is accomplishing the same goal," Hays continues. "So is conservation tillage."
Browsing in grocery stores convinced Hays that consumers lacked environmentally conscious options. "Besides organics, what choice do we have for 'green' produce?" he says. "Some consumers are turning away from organic food because of its high price. They need an option between organic and conventional. We need to reward farmers for going greener even if they are not completely organic."
At California Polytechnic Institute in San Luis Obispo, Hays is devoting his graduate thesis to developing a conservation farming certification program. He is using two California farms for case studies—one focused on specialty crops and the other on commodity crops. He plans to launch his certifying agency, the Conservation Farming Institute, early this year.
How certification works. To certify a farm, Hays will visit the operation and verify that the farmers have incorporated technology, equipment and practices to use less energy than a conventional farm. The savings from each piece of equipment, technology or practice will be based on research by Hays at Cal Poly and research from other land-grant universities.
Hays is considering 15% energy savings as the minimum requirement for certification. That sounds modest, but it's a significant reduction in a state, such as California, where intensive tillage is the norm. "I want a realistic standard that growers can meet, so they will be encouraged to make changes to qualify for certification," Hays explains.
In the future, Hays plans to take into account water and fertilizer savings, creating several tiers of conservation for which farmers can qualify.
A Farmer's Perspective
Travis Fugitt, who volunteered for Carl Hays' case study because he already uses auto-guidance and conser-vation tillage, agrees that consumers want a choice between organic and conventional.

By Stephanie Springer - bio | email TIFTON, GA (WALB) – Tift County commissioners unanimously approved the $275,000 purchase of land that will eventually house a new 911 operations center.
It's been a long time coming, they've been searching for a site for two years.
Currently 911 operates inside the same building as the Tift County Sheriff's Office, but they are bursting at the seams for space.
The new property is located on Ridge Avenue just around the corner from the Sheriff's office, where South Georgia Vinyl currently sits.
The Director of Tift County's E-911 says this new location will provide a safe and fortified location during bad weather and bring key personnel together under one roof in emergency situations.
"This was not designed for what it was being used for and we've made it work, and done quite well with it but there just comes a time when you need to move on," said Scott Bowers, E-911 Director.
The entire project is expected to cost approximately $3 million and will be paid for with sales tax money.
