Coach encourages fans to root for opposing team.
I just watched Jay Crawford interview the coach(Kris Hogan) on ESPNs First Take.
http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/st...t&lid=tab1pos1 They played the oddest game in high school football history last month down in Grapevine, Texas. It was Grapevine Faith vs. Gainesville State School and everything about it was upside down. For instance, when Gainesville came out to take the field, the Faith fans made a 40-yard spirit line for them to run through. Did you hear that? The other team's fans? They even made a banner for players to crash through at the end. It said, "Go Tornadoes!" Which is also weird, because Faith is the Lions. "I WOULDN'T EXPECT ANOTHER PARENT TO TELL SOMEBODY TO HIT THEIR KIDS. BUT THEY WANTED US TO!" It was rivers running uphill and cats petting dogs. More than 200 Faith fans sat on the Gainesville side and kept cheering the Gainesville players onby name. "I never in my life thought I'd hear people cheering for us to hit their kids," recalls Gainesville's QB and middle linebacker, Isaiah. "I wouldn't expect another parent to tell somebody to hit their kids. But they wanted us to!" And even though Faith walloped them 33-14, the Gainesville kids were so happy that after the game they gave head coach Mark Williams a sideline squirt-bottle shower like he'd just won state. Gotta be the first Gatorade bath in history for an 0-9 coach. But then you saw the 12 uniformed officers escorting the 14 Gainesville players off the field and two and two started to make four. They lined the players up in groups of fivehandcuffs ready in their back pocketsand marched them to the team bus. That's because Gainesville is a maximum-security correctional facility 75 miles north of Dallas. Every game it plays is on the road. This all started when Faith's head coach, Kris Hogan, wanted to do something kind for the Gainesville team. Faith had never played Gainesville, but he already knew the score. After all, Faith was 7-2 going into the game, Gainesville 0-8 with 2 TDs all year. Faith has 70 kids, 11 coaches, the latest equipment and involved parents. Gainesville has a lot of kids with convictions for drugs, assault and robberymany of whose families had disowned themwearing seven-year-old shoulder pads and ancient helmets. So Hogan had this idea. What if half of our fansfor one night onlycheered for the other team? He sent out an email asking the Faithful to do just that. "Here's the message I want you to send:" Hogan wrote. "You are just as valuable as any other person on planet Earth." Some people were naturally confused. One Faith player walked into Hogan's office and asked, "Coach, why are we doing this?" And Hogan said, "Imagine if you didn't have a home life. Imagine if everybody had pretty much given up on you. Now imagine what it would mean for hundreds of people to suddenly believe in you." Next thing you know, the Gainesville Tornadoes were turning around on their bench to see something they never had before. Hundreds of fans. And actual cheerleaders! "I thought maybe they were confused," said Alex, a Gainesville lineman (only first names are released by the prison). "They started yelling 'DEE-fense!' when their team had the ball. I said, 'What? Why they cheerin' for us?'" It was a strange experience for boys who most people cross the street to avoid. "We can tell people are a little afraid of us when we come to the games," says Gerald, a lineman who will wind up doing more than three years. "You can see it in their eyes. They're lookin' at us like we're criminals. But these people, they were yellin' for us! By our names!" Maybe it figures that Gainesville played better than it had all season, scoring the game's last two touchdowns. Of course, this might be because Hogan put his third-string nose guard at safety and his third-string cornerback at defensive end. Still. After the game, both teams gathered in the middle of the field to pray and that's when Isaiah surprised everybody by asking to lead. "We had no idea what the kid was going to say," remembers Coach Hogan. But Isaiah said this: "Lord, I don't know how this happened, so I don't know how to say thank You, but I never would've known there was so many people in the world that cared about us." And it was a good thing everybody's heads were bowed because they might've seen Hogan wiping away tears. As the Tornadoes walked back to their bus under guard, they each were handed a bag for the ride homea burger, some fries, a soda, some candy, a Bible and an encouraging letter from a Faith player. The Gainesville coach saw Hogan, grabbed him hard by the shoulders and said, "You'll never know what your people did for these kids tonight. You'll never, ever know." And as the bus pulled away, all the Gainesville players crammed to one side and pressed their hands to the window, staring at these people they'd never met before, watching their waves and smiles disappearing into the night. Anyway, with the economy six feet under and Christmas running on about three and a half reindeer, it's nice to know that one of the best presents you can give is still absolutely free. Hope. |

I had seen this somewhere else prior to this. Possibly on goallineblitz (online game.)
It's an awesome story!

Turning 30 This Week
I'm turning 30
This is serious business
I was born in 1980
Time keeps passing
The other day I looked at the filing cabinet with all my writings previous to the human war, mostly high school writings.
There must be a thousand pages of prose and poems.
I was amazed.
I kept looking at things.
It was all bad
But I was like, "It was so easy. To make literary sentences at one point in my life."
here is my 20s in chronological order
20 to 23: wrote and lived in parents. Went to a little college. barely worked and spent time writing and reading novels. Still writing a lot. Really pumped about writing. Got introduced to the beauty of internet lit.
24 to 26: basically worked at strip joints and pizza shops. Basically was 'on the streets' observing strange behavior. Read novels and some philosophy. Writing less and less.
27 to Today: went back to college and have held a steady job. Reading only philosophy and history. I don't think I haven't a story for a year and a half. I tried to write something and I didn't care after 60 pages. I just stopped writing and felt no sense of motivation to continue with it.
So the other day I stared at all those things from high school. And just felt weird.
When I was 27 I decided I wanted to write a political philosophy book. I had no idea what I would write when I started.
my idea was that if I read a bunch of History, philosophy and political thought books I would come up with something.
i tried to give the idea of writing philosophy like three times but I keep going back to it.
it is the only thing that interests me now.
The only thing I want to read.
I currently prefer to read about Tiberius and nothing new and fiction.
The only fiction books i like are the ones people send me, like Sam Pink and scott mcclanahan
I realized that to write philosophy i have to come up with my own epistemology and then i can write a political philosophy book.
I only have two books planned, one on epistemology and one politics.
But I don't think those books will make me famous
or money.
Or get me another movie.
That is okay.
Sometimes when i think about philosophy
I can feel my whole body shake
my brain crack or make bass like noise in my head
Sometimes I have philosophical thought
a clearing
and i just need to lay down
Best Behavior will probably be the last book i write.
If The Human War movie doesn't get my books to a bigger press
I will have six novels published.
I don't think 2 or 3 can even be purchased anymore
The Insurgent, my greatest accomplishment as a human never got any reviews.
It is okay.
I will write anyway.
I will write philosophy and not fiction.
I don't have a doctorate.
And do not plan on getting one.
So I will be probably laughed at.
And it won't matter.
When I turn 30 Sunday
I will have never made above 8.30 an hour
No 401K
No health care
Driving a 1997 Saturn SL
Sleep on a couch most nights
No kids
no wife
Never owned a cell phone
or an IPOD
Not even an MP3 player
I have really thrown things away for the sake of literature
I will probably throw my 30s away for the sake of philosophy.

I don't know you, but I like the idea of someone named Noah Cicero living in Youngstown, Ohio, writing books that no one reads and dying in obscurity. It seems "noble" or something. "Beautiful" and "sad" and "funny." I dunno. You're a real person, though. I shouldn't think things like that about real people. I dunno. I hope you are happy, I guess. I hope everything is okay for you.
- marshall said...
Happy birthday, Noah.
you should read science, too.
No mater what you write, I will read it!
- A rock said...
Happy Birthday, Noah. I sort of feel similarly in writing music. I studied it for a long time and played music all my life. Once I finished school and turned 25, I sort of stopped. I still think about it all the time, but feel the creep of idleness; I wonder if I will change.
Most of my friends in their 30's tell me something of this sort: "You don't figure out how to live until you're 30." So you may be in luck. Ha!
I feel I will read many more of your words before all is done.
Dude, have a great birthday. - 12:06 PM
- tomkendall said...
this blog post reads like the best poem.
it's nice that you're a libra. happy birthday.
i also like the "idea" of you. i almost don't believe that you've never had a cell phone or ipod... - 2:28 PM
- adam said...
Stories inspire critics and philosophers, who in turn write theory, who in turn expand the understanding of artists (according to Arnold).
So keep writing fiction, if you find things you like writing about, because you will be helpful to theory and thought in this way as well. - 4:59 PM
i love all your fiction books. my favorite is best behavior. it's like the manifesto of all the writers i like today. i will be sad if you never wrote fiction again, but i will look forward to your philosophy.
- flaschengeist said...
alles gute noah!
mann, philosophie und politics... - 2:55 AM
- RavingNoah said...
Best thing I ever did for myself was just that. Took me forever to connive my way into college. Had a lot of baggage to work through. Philosophy, history, linguistics...these were my choices.
I enjoy your work, Noah...which I came across accidentally last year. The thought of you giving up your thirties to philosophy...how could I not think the prospect of that interesting/exciting. I would be very interested in a Noah Cicero epistemology. - 5:22 AM
This post rocked it.
Happy birthday-- & I hope you write more, whether philosophy, economic theory, literature, whatever. - 7:13 PM
I read The Nausea and while checking book reviews I stumbled on something that led me to your blog. Some shitty guitar piece which kind of made my day.
That was a couple of years ago. Today I was working with this postcard which has a cartoon of a zombie-eyed dog baring his teeth, and I remembered your blog!
I like the spaces between the lines in this post. Must read your book. Happy birthday. - 3:38 AM

I built one using an XR2206 chip about 20 years ago and it still works fine for me. The chip is cheap, the circuit is easy to build, and it works. Most of all, and very important for me, my finished product is small.

I used an XR2206 as my very first signal generator it worked great.
I used a frequency counter with it and got it to sweep its full range capability with just two ranges. 20Hz to 20Khz in one range and 20Khz to 200Khz in the other. jer |

I've got a "farnell" (Thurby Thandar I think) that I fetched out of a skip 20 years ago. Even has a sweep generator on it.

I have an HP 3311A that I'm happy with. Paid about $70 on bay.
It doesn't have the most accurate frequency selector dial but I have scope and frequency counter. It maintains a constant voltage across the audio band and that is essential for speaker driver measurements. |

There's a big difference between the performance of a function generator and that of an audio signal generator. A function generator is usually more wideband (0.01 Hz - 10 MHz or so) and can generate square, rectangular, triangle and sine waveshapes. Usually the sine is not particularly low-distortion since these generators are not used as signal sources to test audio amplifier distortion. Usually the square has a decently-fast risetime.
An audio signal generator is perhaps more suited for use as a general-purpose audio signal source, having low (well, lowER) distortion sinewaves and also perhaps a reasonable squarewave output. In addition to the older 200-series, HP also made a 204-series and certain others (209, etc). Some of these have both sine and square outputs, some also have built-in calibrated attenuators. Most are spec'd at 0.1% THD, mine is somewhat better than this at about 0.065% but none are truly low-distortion sources. By "low-distortion" I mean 0.01% or less. These are much smaller than the popular 200-series, much more stable, and are also very reasonably priced. Depends what you need it for. I'm happy with my HP-209 for most things.

Insurance companies may classify tooth implants, the surgical placement of permanent, artificial teeth, as cosmetic dentistry. Many types of dental insurance will not cover these "cosmetic" treatments, but occasionally you may find coverage. Here's how to determine if your current policy covers implant procedures, and a note about an insurance alternative that can help you save.
Thoroughly check your existing coverage to see if it might include implants. If it does not include implant savings, then you may want to search online for a plan that might cover the procedure. Bear in mind, however, that you cannot avoid out-of-pocket expenses entirely when considering oral treatments, especially for what is typically considered cosmetic dental work.
Investigate your existing policy to see if you already hit your annual maximum, which is the most amount of money your policy will pay per year. Otherwise, you might be responsible for the full cost of the treatment out-of-pocket. You may also want to investigate the reimbursement option on your existing plan. Understand how the process works with your particular insurance company, and use it wisely. If you find difficulty sifting through these terms and conditions, you may want to call the company and a few others to clarify your questions and compare coverage options.
Your dentist may also be a helpful resource as well for recommending plans that will cover implants. If you are unable to determine if your current policy covers the procedure, your dentist may know this as well.
Be careful, however. If your current policy says it covers implants, it may have hidden exclusions or exceptions. Still an "exclusion" clause for implants does not necessarily mean that absolutely zero benefits to will apply to the procedure.
Classify your implant procedure as a "restoration" rather than "surgical therapy," because some insurance companies will only reimburse you for "restoration" procedures. Look at your current plan and examine its alternate benefit clause. Always double-check that you are referring to the procedure you need by its correct ADA code, because the smallest differences between procedures could mean the difference between any coverage for your implants and full payment out of your own pocket.
If you still cannot find a way to receive benefits for your implant surgery, you may want to look into the affordable alternative of discount dental plans. Often for specialty procedures such as implants, you can receive a contracted percentage off of your preferred treatment with these dental plans, without deductibles or maximums. Whichever type of plan you need to help you pay for implants, you can find multiple insurance alternatives online.

Do this and I'll pay more taxes!Submitted by Guesttenheimer (not verified) on Thu, 05/10/2012 - 12:09pm.
First, get the lifetime entitlement recipients back to work and off the govenment dole. Reduce section 8 housing benefits and cut food stamps to those that really need it. I'm sick and tired of watching people push two carts of groceries bought by EBT cards to load up their new shiney Lexus while talking on their 200 dollar iPhone. Second, get the illegal aliens of the government dole, out of American jobs (this will help those above), out of our hospitals and stop paying for their medical care, baby farming and prison terms. PUT A STOP to the above two actions and I'll be happy to pay more in taxes! Until then, I'll fight to keep every 3/4 cent the state tries to wrangle out of my pocket!!! You piss money away like it grows on trees and expect to make up for it by taxing the people that are actually being productive to give it to those that aren't! What is wrong with you? If you do a little research as to where the money is REALLY going, you'll understand exactly why the Repulicans want to cut spending. There are two very easy and very effective methods described above! »

Looking beyond all doubt
Homoeopathic practitioner Dr Rajan Sankaran believes his field can work in harmony with modern medicine
- Published: 20 Nov 2012 at 00.00 | Viewed: 3,797 | Comments: 0
- Newspaper section: Life
- Writer: Sukhumaporn Laiyok
To those not familiar with it, the term homoeopathy raises either a mixture of suspicious disbelief or doubtful amazement. The alternative medicine, at times viewed as a kind of magic, is in fact capable of yielding positive results by providing holistic healing solutions. At least, that is according to world-leading homoeopathic practitioner Dr Rajan Sankaran, who was visiting Thailand to raise awareness of homoeopathic medicine.
Based on the idea that the body has the ability to heal itself, homoeopathy involves two main principles. One, it uses the "similar theory" or the law of "like cures like" healing discovered in 1796 by German physician Samuel Hahnemann, who was frustrated with conventional medicine. Hahnemann found that a substance that brings on a symptom in a healthy people can be used to heal the symptom in a patient.
Onions are used to explain this law. When we cut an onion we will get watery eyes, as if we had a cold. Onions have long been used as a cold treatment. Homoeopathic remedies are selected by how they match the symptoms.

Its a polish beer... the best I have had in 15 years. try it then let me know what hops you think are in it. this is one I MUST clone JJ
Yup, Black Boss is a good one, it's one of my wife's favorite Porters. The high ABV was a surprise to me after tasting it, it's very well balanced so you don't notice the high alcohol content. Sorry I can't help you dissect the recipe, but I would definitely brew it if someone else can.
I am sure there is someone here that can help. its going to be a hard one indeed but well worth the effort even if one could get close. Hell just the hop profile is out of this world! I am wondering what hops they used, you know there a noble hop. JJ
Anyone made any progress on this clone? This is a great beer, and I would love to brew something like it!
I've had it and it is great, but I have no idea how to reverse engineer a beer.
Kegged: Beer Bottled: Beer, Beer, Beer, Beer, Beer, Beer. Primary: Beer Secondary: BeerHow to brew extract (with pictures!)How to brew extract (Video)Simple bottling process
Odd there aren't any recipes out there anywhere. I've seen Black Boss around for a couple years at least. I know Okocim Porter, another Polish Baltic porter, uses Lublin and Marynka hops although the recipe in Clone Brews just calls for Lublin. There's an old Michael Jackson article about it here.
I was talking with the old Polish lady that runs the only little shop where I can find this stuff. She said she thought it was wheat based, not sure what to think of that.
- I'd use a lager yeast (lots of baltic porters do) - 9.4% with probably 75% attenuation (guess) puts it at 1.094 starting gravity (give or take)
It was the first baltic porter I'd ever had...definitely an interesting twist on the more typical british porters... Conceptually an interesting beer style in general, b/c as wonderbread mentioned, I've also understood that they are actually lagers, which on one hand may make them seem more closely linked to schwarzbiers than porters, but I do think taste wise they're closer to a porter, only sweeter and more full bodied....

Why should an institution be allowed to make MY moral decisions? This is not what Christianity teaches. Without free will, we cannot be saved, accordingto church teaching.

Harmony Things to Do
Harmonist Society Cemetery
We visited the Harmonist Cemetery on a cold, blowing winter's night -- creepy! What's even more unusual is that this cemetery has no headstones (well, OK... one headstone). Harmony is a small town with a unique history, and the Harmonist Cemetery is a key part of this history. The Harmonist Society, a group of communal religious pacifist...

Harmony's Log Cabins
Harmony has a number of small cabins around town. I noticed at least three, including Little Creek Cabin, which used to be a cafe (and was for sale in summer 2011). Another cabin was located right behind Grace Church. The cabins appeared to be private homes, or perhaps properties of Historic Harmony, Inc.Some of the cabins date back to the early...

Harmony Museum
The Harmony Museum stands at the main intersection of central Harmony.The museum is owned by Historic Harmony, Inc. Founded in 1943, this local organization owns and maintains eight historic properties including the Mennonite Meetinghouse, the Mennonite Cemetery, and the Harmony Society Cemetery.

Harmony Mennonite Meetinghouse
Harmony's Mennonite Meetinghouse is the oldest Mennonite meeting house west of the Alleghenies, built in 1825 next to the cemetery. About two thirds of the structure is original, and the remainder of the building was added later. The interior of the structure is laid out with a central altar and benches for the parishioners, much as it must have...

Historic Harmony Mennonite Cemetery
Historic Harmony's burial ground has been a Mennonite cemetery since the Mennonites purchased the town from the Harmonist Society of George Rapp in 1814. The earliest grave markers date from the 1810s and the newest markers are from the 1950s. Many of the stones are very worn and difficult to read. Most of those buried here have good German names...

The Harmonist Cemetery
It was a gloomy Fall day when Mom and I ventured out to visit the Harmonist Cemetery, which lies outside the small town of Harmony. This cemetery sits on a high knoll and is surrounded by a stone wall whose entrance contains a fascinating rotating gate. One good, hard push gains entrance through the revolving one-ton stone door. The public is...

The Mennonite Meeting House and Cemetery
One of the oldest Mennonite meeting houses West of the Alleghenies sits perched upon a small hill North of Harmony, Pennsylvania. Mom and I stopped here on our way home from a 'girls getaway weekend' this Fall.It had rained the evening before, so the grass was a bit mushy near the site. A low wall surrounded the cemetery, whose entrance was a...

The Harmonists believed in equality in death as in life. When they died, they were buried in unmarked graves. Graves were only supposed to be temporary resting places anyway since Jesus was to return in the very near future, bringing with him the New Millennium. What was the point in marking a grave? As time went on and the Second Coming seemed to...

Cross the bridge over Connoquenessing Creek and turn right on the first road. A short ways on the left, you come up to a path of stairs - developed by the local Boy Scouts - that takes you up to Rapp's Seat. The forest wasn't here then as it was the site of the Harmonist sandstone quarry, vineyard and music pavilion. Here, upon a seat carved into...

Established in 1809 as the meeting hall for the Harmonist Society, this is the oldest continued church in Butler County. Mennonites took over the church in 1814, using it until another German congregation moved in in 1826. The church was affiliated with the German Evangelical and Reformed Church until the local congregation withdrew from the merged...

Frederick Riechert was one of George Rapp's more important and devoted followers. He was instrumental in arranging for the movement of the Harmonist society to America. Adopted by George as his a son in 1805, Frederick would go on to become the Society's business leader and public spokesman - very few other Harmonists could speak English. He would...

Born in Iptigen, Germany - 25 km northwest of Stuttgart - in 1757, George Rapp inspired by pietistic theologians began gathering like-minded followers in the 1780's. Eventually the local government came down hard on him when those numbers swelled to some 12,000 and Rapp left Germany for the 'land of Israel' here in western Pennsylvania. It was in...

Housed in an old Harmonist granary/warehouse that served to sell goods to outsiders, the Harmony Museum divides its exhibits between the Harmonist period and the longer subsequent Mennonite times. It is interesting to compare the architecture here to that found in Economy - the third and last Harmonist village, Bethel Missouri, and Aurora, Oregon -...

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Conference aims to reduce shame and increase education surrounding eating disorders
It's been 10 years since Elaine Stevenson lost her 24-year-old daughter, Alyssa, to anorexia. The River Heights mother and advocate wants to make sure other families don't go through the pain and heartache hers did.
So over the past few weeks, Stevenson has been trying to get the word out about Setting the Table for Recovery -- the first ever eating-disorders conference hosted by the Canadian Mental Health Association, Manitoba division, taking place Friday at the Viscount Gort.
Her goal? To uncover a set of illnesses shrouded in darkness. She wants health-care providers, teachers, families and patients to attend so they can know how to recognize and deal with an eating disorder.
"What's sort of sad about this illness is that it's cloaked in shame and secrecy and embarrassment," says Stevenson, who helped organize the conference.
Tracey Gold, an actress from the popular 1980s sitcom Growing Pains, will talk about her own struggles with anorexia in her Friday morning keynote address. She'll also be on hand for a social evening the night before, where she will mingle with guests and answer their questions.
Doctors, therapists and dentists will also present practical information about how to prevent eating disorders and cope with them.
"Oral health care is extremely important for people suffering from eating disorders. Unfortunately, our daughter ended up losing all her teeth. The acid of someone who is purging (engaging in self-induced vomiting) can really, really destroy the teeth and do it quickly," says Stevenson, who speaks matter-of-factly about the ins and outs of living with eating disorders.
There will also be a panel to talk about body-image issues among boys and young men, as well as the types of therapies available, including art therapy.
According to Health Canada, three per cent of women will suffer an eating disorder in their lifetime. Eating disorders affect boys and men as well.
Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness, says Stevenson, who notes that about 10 per cent of people with anorexia die within 10 years of the onset of the disease.
Shortly after Alyssa was diagnosed with anorexia at age 12, Stevenson became a public advocate for her daughter, lobbying for better diagnosis and treatment.
"You're going to come out of (the conference) with practical information you can use whether you're a parent or a mental-health provider," says Stevenson. "(We're) just trying to give families those kinds of tools to support them and support their loved ones. I never had that kind of stuff."
Stevenson, who has two other children, says Alyssa was a seemingly healthy child who loved playing fast pitch.
She and her husband didn't realize she wasn't eating adequately until one of her classmates reported that Alyssa would often give away her school lunches.
Shortly after, her pediatrician told Stevenson that Alyssa's weight was in normal range.
By the time she was diagnosed, Alyssa was "deep" into her illness. She spent years in and out of the hospital until a heart attack killed her.
Stevenson says she had a hard time finding resources to help her daughter and her family cope.
"Alyssa, unfortunately, was ill in the 1990s. The type of services out there were pretty minimal," says Stevenson.
She hopes more primary-care physicians will learn that a patient may not lose weight at the start of an eating disorder.
Dr. Eric Vickar, a psychiatrist who heads the child and adolescent eating disorders program at Health Sciences Centre, says the numbers of children he treats has risen in the 10 years he's run the program.
He has treated children as young as eight.
He guesses that societal attitudes about body size and media images are partially to blame, and he's concerned about the trend.
"The parents are often extremely worried -- and rightfully so -- about their children. And I feel that distress with them," says Vickar, noting that eating disorders can have serious short- and long-term consequences.
At the same time, Vickar says he delights in the success stories he sees -- patients who beat their eating disorders.
Erin Dowling, who runs the Canadian Mental Health Association's eating-disorder self-help program is one such patient.
She considers herself free of the eating disorder that plagued her since the age of 10 -- although she admits that her recovery is a "journey" she has to work at.
The 29-year-old, who grew up in Winkler, says the province's eating-disorder services have improved since she was a child but wait times to get into such programs are too long. As well, she says there needs to be more rural outreach programs.
The cost to attend the Friday conference is $250; it runs from 8:15 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Thursday reception, featuring actresses Tracey Gold and Jenni Schaefer, is $35. The event runs from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. To register, contact conference chairwoman Erin Dowling at 953-2358 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com

The Clinical Ultrasound Laboratory (CUL) was established in April 2013 to improve and expand the use of ultrasound in medicine. The Principal Investigator is Greg Clement, PhD, who joined the Lerner Research Institute from Harvard University and the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, where he was an Associate Professor, Head of Imaging for the National Center for Image Guided Therapy, and the Technical Director of the Focused Ultrasound Laboratory.
Dr. Clement's research has concentrated on methods to improve ultrasound resolution and ways to access areas in the body traditionally considered "off limits" to ultrasound due to the presence of bone. With specific concentration on the brain, he has developed several novel techniques for focusing ultrasound through the skull for improved ultrasound imaging and therapy.
Laboratory efforts at the Cleveland Clinic will center on developing disorder-specific noninvasive ultrasound tools and techniques. By using contrast agents, and with a better understanding of how these agents travel through the circulatory system, the laboratory will investigate methods for quantifying and mapping blood flow in the kidneys, the testicles, and in certain tumors. Imaging efforts in the brain will include the development of ultrasound brain tomography to detect hemorrhage and lesions, methods to detect brain shift during surgery, and monitors for hydrocephalus.
The laboratory is supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health and the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (Department of Defense).
Standard ultrasound machines can't "see" through bone, making many organs – including the brain – unreachable. Dr. Clement is exploring ways to get ultrasound through bone to make images of the brain and other parts of the body. He has already developed several methods for focusing ultrasound energy through the skull and is now using these techniques to get better pictures that may show blood leakage or vessel blockage that, if untreated, could lead to stroke. His new ultrasound methods can detect how much the brain shifts during brain surgery and can help doctors monitor patients with "water on the brain."
Using ultrasound, the Clement team is also finding how to measure blood flow in the capillaries, the body's tiniest vessels. The ability to detect unusual flows in these small vessels could help determine if organs, such as the kidney, are working properly. These same methods may also help doctors detect certain tumors that are currently invisible to other imaging methods. Dr. Clement's new, nonsurgical techniques will help doctors in many specialties give patients better care.

Quantitative psychology

Quantitative psychology is a field of scientific study that focuses on the research design and methodology, mathematical modeling, and statistical analysis of human attributes and psychological processes.[1] Quantitative psychologists research psychometrics, the study of test construction and validation, the general problems of the measurement of behavior; and the application of quantitative methods to research design and other methodological topics.[2]
Notable research areas in psychometrics include item response theory and computer adaptive testing. Other research areas include modeling psychological processes through time series analysis, such as in fMRI data collection, and structural equation modeling, social network analysis, human decision science, and statistical genetics.
Quantitative psychology is today recognized as its own branch of psychology, with doctoral degree programs awarded in this specialization in some universities. Quantitative psychologists have traditionally been in very high demand in industry, government, and academia. Their combined training in both social science and quantitative methodology gives them a unique skill set and enables them to bring their knowledge to bear on both applied and theoretical problems in a variety of areas. Companies that produce standardized tests such as College Board, Educational Testing Service, and American College Testing often provide jobs and internships to students and professionals in quantitative psychology.
As opposed to qualitative research, quantitative research focuses on the examination of theories using techniques from mathematics and logic. Quantitative psychology has its roots in early experimental psychology when the scientific method was first applied to psychological phenomena. Gustav Fechner, Wilhelm Wundt, and Hermann von Helmholtz are recognized as some of the founders of modern experimental psychology. In particular, Fechner demonstrated that because the mind was susceptible to measurement and mathematical treatment, psychology had the potential to become a quantified science. Theorists such as Immanuel Kant had previously stated that this was impossible, and that therefore, a science of psychology was also impossible.
Intelligence testing[edit]
Quantitative psychology as a discipline has a history in mental testing, especially intelligence testing, and behavioral measurement. The English statistician Francis Galton made the first attempt at creating a standardized test for rating a person's intelligence. A pioneer of psychometrics and the application of statistical methods to the study of human diversity and the study of inheritance of human traits, he believed that intelligence was largely a product of heredity (by which he did not mean genes, although he did develop several pre-Mendelian theories of particulate inheritance).[3] He hypothesized that there should exist a correlation between intelligence and other desirable traits like good reflexes, muscle grip, and head size.[4] He set up the first mental testing centre in the world in 1882 and he published "Inquiries into Human Faculty and Its Development" in 1883, in which he set out his theories.
Statistical techniques[edit]
The most common mathematical techniques used by psychologists come from statistics. Classical statistics include the z-test and the binomial test. Pearson introduced the correlation coefficient and the chi-squared test. The 1900-1920 period saw the t-test (Student, 1908), the ANOVA (Fischer, 1925) and a non-parametric correlation coefficient (Spearman, 1904). However, a considerably larger number of tests were developed past 1965 (e.g., all the multivariate tests). Popular techniques (such as Hierarchical Linear Model, Arnold, 1992, Structural Equation Modeling, Byrne, 1996 and Independent Component Analysis, Hyvarinën, Karhunen and Oja, 2001) all have less than 20 years of existence.[5]
In 1946, psychologist Stanley Smith Stevens introduced a theory of levels of measurement in a paper that is often used by statisticians today.[6] The levels of measurement he proposed were Nominal, Ordinal, Ratio, and Interval.
While a New York University professor of psychology, Jacob Cohen researched quantitative methods involving statistical power and effect size, which helped to lay foundations for current statistical meta-analysis and the methods of estimation statistics.[7] He gave his name to Cohen's kappa and Cohen's d.
In 1990, an influential paper titled "Graduate Training in Statistics, Methodology, and Measurement in Psychology" was published in the American Psychologist journal. This article discussed the need for increased and up-to-date training in quantitative methods for psychology graduate programs in the United States.[8]
Education and training[edit]
Training for quantitative psychology can begin informally at the undergraduate level. While most graduate schools do not require prerequisite coursework, many schools recommend that students have some coursework in psychology and complete the full college sequence of calculus (including multivariate calculus) and a course in linear algebra. Quantitative coursework in other fields such as economics and research methods and statistics courses for psychology majors are also helpful. Historically, however, students without all these courses have been accepted if other aspects of their application show promise. Some schools also offer formal minors in areas related to quantitative psychology. For example, the University of Kansas offers a minor in "Social and Behavioral Sciences Methodology" that provides advanced training in research methodology, applied data analysis, and practical research experience relevant to quantitative psychology.[9] Coursework in computer science is also useful. Mastery of an object-oriented programming language or learning to write code in SPSS or R is useful for the type of data analysis performed in graduate school.
Quantitative psychologists may possess an eponymous doctoral degree, or a degree in a closely related field such as Industrial/Organizational Psychology. These degrees are commonly offered by universities in the United States and Canada. Select universities also offer terminal masters degrees, such as the terminal Master of Education in "Quantitative Methods" at Vanderbilt University. Due to its interdisciplinary nature and depending on the research focus of the university, these programs may be housed in a school's college of education or in their psychology department. Programs that focus especially in educational research and psychometrics are often part of education or educational psychology departments. These programs may therefore have different names mentioning "research methods" or "quantitative methods", such as the "Research and Evaluation Methodology" Ph.D. from the University of Florida or the "Quantitative Methods" degree at the University of Pennsylvania. However, some universities may have separate programs in their two colleges. For example, the University of Washington has a "Quantitative psychology" degree in their psychology department and a separate "Measurement & Statistics" Ph.D. in their college of education. Universities with a mathematical focus include McGill University's "Quantitative Psychology and Modeling" program and Purdue University's "Mathematical and Computational Cognitive Science" degrees. Students with an interest in modeling biological or functional data may go into related fields such as biostatistics or computational neuroscience.
Doctoral programs typical accept students with only bachelors degrees, although some schools may require a masters degree before applying. After the first two years of studies, graduate students typically earn a Masters of Art in Psychology, Masters of Science in Statistics or Applied statistics, or both.
Additionally, several universities offer minor concentrations in quantitative methods, such as New York University.
Shortage of qualified applicants[edit]
In August 2005, the American Psychological Association expressed the need for more quantitative psychologists in the industry—for every PhD awarded in the subject, there were about 2.5 quantitative psychologist position openings.[10] Due to a lack of applicants in the field, the APA created a Task Force to study the state of quantitative psychology and predict its future. Domestic U.S. applicants are especially lacking. The majority of international applicants come from Asian countries, especially South Korea and China.[11] In response to the lack of qualified applicants, the APA Council of Representatives authorized a special task force in 2006.[12] The task force was chaired by Leona S. Aiken from Arizona State University.
For various reasons, some universities have stopped offering quantitative psychology degrees. Notably, the University of Chicago used to offer a degree in "Research Methodology and Quantitative Psychology" and the University of Toronto used to offer a degree in "Educational Measurement".
Professional organizations[edit]
Quantitative psychology is served by several scientific organizations. These include the Psychometric Society, Division 5 of the American Psychological Association (Evaluation, Measurement and Statistics), the Society of Multivariate Experimental Psychology, and the European Society for Methodology. Associated disciplines include statistics, mathematics, educational measurement, educational statistics, sociology, and political science. Several scholarly journals reflect the efforts of scientists in these areas, notably Psychometrika, Multivariate Behavioral Research, Structural Equation Modeling and Psychological Methods.
There have been critiques about the use of quantitative methods in psychological research. Notably, Professor Joel Michell from the University of Sydney has written extensively on the use and misuse of psychometric techniques.

All Critics (181) | Top Critics (39) | Fresh (87) | Rotten (94) | DVD (36)
The horror flick Saw started a chain-Saw of sequels and that is now one of the most successful of the chop-and-slash variety. It's not a bad way to spend a Halloween evening.
How such a cruelly empty and infantile movie got made is mystery enough. More puzzling is why Cary Elwes, Danny Glover and Monica Potter would sign on as co-stars.
James Wan's horror film Saw is full of demented twists and guilty-looking actors, but the scenario is cruel enough to make you squirm.
Saw is a sub-Se7en B-movie serial killer chiller with more high concepts stuffed into its 100 minutes than it can handle.
[A] contrived, unlovable gore-fest with a high-concept premise.
It is all, of course, total nonsense. But for horror fans it's good nonsense, in the way that a creepy urban legend told by flashlight in a tent at 2 a.m. can be fine and dandy nonsense.
There's something impressively loathsome and extravagantly twisted about this horror-thriller from first-timer James Wan.
As a study in the macabre, it barely suffices; as a sick and bloody joke, it's bloody sick.
Though dumber than a box of rocks, Saw forges ahead with the kind of conviction and energy that will keep bad-cinema junkies sitting bolt upright.
Just when you think you've got it sussed, the movie throws in some audacious twists, resulting in one of the most memorable climaxes in recent screen history.
A pared-down psychological thriller with an ingenious hook, this grubby little B-movie gets straight As for effort.
Inventive and diverting entertainment for fans of moody horror mysteries. And the end is cool. Say no more.
[Its] sadism is topped only by its absurdity.
More grisly than scary; not for kids.
The horror genre takes a new direction using extreme violence to support a surprisingly evocative story of redemptive torture.
"Saw" has it all. Gore, violence, an excellent script, and top notch tension all put together with a whopper of a horror outing.
Having lifted itself up so high in some ways, it's a shame that, in the end, the film sinks down to the level of just being another dumb horror movie.
It's a brutal, vicious, well done psychological thriller that will leave you disturbed for days.
The inconsistencies and incongruities mar the overall result, but it's a fierce enough premise to excite some investors to believe this team can do better and perhaps even bloodier.
The setup is gripping, and the suspense intense, but the third act -- the payoff for sitting through such harrowing material -- is a major misfire.
Audience Reviews for Saw
not a fan of the gore fest horror films that this movie started generating but this was a decent movie. The twist to me was slightly unrealistic as how could a man alive lay there that long and not move once or show breathing . . .
MoreSuper Reviewer
A gritty, dirty, and intense horror movie with superb acting from Leigh Whannel and Cary Elwes as two men chained inside an abandoned bathroom, wondering how they got there and why they are here. This movie gets a lot of bad rep for ceaseless violence and excessive gore, and gets unfairly coupled with "Hostel" because of this. It is definitely violent and not for all, but in terms of how the simple story is given layers and handled meticulously with backstories and flashbacks, you can not deny it is a good idea handled exceptionally well. In my opinion this is one of the better horror films of the 00's, with a twist ending that will knock you out cold. The score is also phenomenal, as it continually amps up the intensity (especially in the final act) to almost unbearable levels. Highly recommended if you like horror films.
MoreSuper Reviewer
Interesting story with some cool twists but the acting is absolutely terrible. Of course, this is only the beginning of a money-making sequel shitfest, and it really goes downhill after the third film. People will pay to see grisly violence, simple. Probably the most pointless franchise of all time. Although, I must say that this first installment is entertaining and even unpredictable.

Call for Submissions: No Missing Pieces Zine #2
This is a call for submissions for issue number 2 of No Missing Pieces Zine. No Missing Pieces is an online and paper magazine and media project by autistic people.
Anyone who identifies as autistic, from all corners and areas of the spectrum, is very welcome and encouraged to share things for this project.
I very much encourage stuff from autistic people whose life experiences may not be shared enough because: you are mostly or totally nonverbal or nonspeaking, you need more help with daily living tasks (what that means is up to you), you live in an institution, you have other disabilities in addition to being autistic, you're a person of color, you are poor or homeless, you get sidelined because of your gender (if any), or your sexual or romantic orientation (if any), or you are or have been incarcerated, or you live in a rural area or small town, and so on in any combination.
Note: Neurotypical people should not contribute to this project on their own — but they can help an autistic person submit something, and they can help also by sharing this, and reading and sharing the final project. Thanks.
More Notes: 1) If you are writing something, please use simpler language, not academic language, otherwise I and a lot of other people won't understand you.
2) All the editing done for this project is accessibility-focused (image descriptions, transcriptions, trigger warnings, etc.) Standard editing isn't done.
(For Online or On Paper) This Project Needs:
Art / Craft works (drawings, comics, postcard art, mixed media, digital art, photography, paintings, fabric arts, fashion, collage, sketches, sculptures and models, etc.) Please include an image description or keywords. Art for the paper version should fit on 8.5 x 11 size paper.
Audio / Video. Please warn if there is loud noise or music, brightness, or shaky, flashing, or quickly-moving lights or images. Please try to avoid autoplay. Audio / Video will need to be captioned and/or transcribed. (I can get help with this if needed.)
Writing (prose, journal entries, short fiction, rants, poetry, song lyrics, lists, etc.). Please include trigger / content warnings if they apply. Please use a print style font (not cursive), and a standard size font (12 or 14 point is usually standard) if possible. A maximum of 5 pages is preferred for the paper zine so that there is more space for other people.
Other Things You Can Think Of???
Special Note: Contributor bios are totally optional. An example is something like Name (real name, fake name, screen name, anonymous), age, gender pronouns, general location, hobbies or something you want to share about yourself, where people could find more of your work / how people could contact you.
"Soft" Deadline: Sunday, June 14, 2015
Final Deadline: To Be Determined
If you want to submit something, or you have questions, here is how to contact me: Email Jordan - feralismyheart(at)gmail(dot)com

or by mail to:
Jordan G.,
P.O. Box 269,
Flintstone, MD 21530, USA
If you'd like to hear it // I can sing it for you is an independent zine seeking submissions for Issue #001! This zine is focused on memory loss, and the negotiation of an aging and pathological body/brain and a "forgetful" self in an unaccommodating world, as well as accounts of chronic illness and the end-of-life experiences of an aging self.
We are seeking writings (300-500 words), photos, and artwork from folks in all of life's ages and stages. This work is centered on intellectual/emotional criticisms and personal experiences of aging, illness, and death from caregivers, patients, and advocates. We are exploring the radical sociologies of aging, caregiving, and aging advocacy through personal experiences, progressive politics, and academic thought.
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com with questions!
howdy, i'm the dad of a ASD kiddo, looking to read some zines on the issue. also would not mind contributing if anyone is looking.
@Katherine, Yes, I would love to check out a copy. I run a distro-- would you be open to having this zine considered for the distro? You would not necessarily need to make more copies yourself if that was not convenient. We can talk more by private message-- I'll send you my mailing address. Thanks!
Zeraph Dylan
The Alchemist's Closet
@zeraph dylan: I know your comment was nearly a year ago, but if you're still here:
I wrote a zine called 'adventures in unreality' about 5 years ago, which was mainly about the social cues that I'd only just discovered to exist. I tried to explain them in a way that mad sense to me as an autistic person. If you're interested, I can find a copy and mail it to you.
I'm looking for some great zines on ability, disability, etc., oppression and privilege associated with neurodiversity, zines from folks on the autistic spectrum, etc.
Any recommendations?
