The Heroes of Sandy Hook
As the details emerge and the country struggles with the immense horror of the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, a horror almost beyond comprehension, I've been drawn to the stories of the principal, Dawn Hochsprung, and the school psychologist, Mary Sherlach, who died along with 20 of their students and four other staff members. You can't read this piece from the New York Times without deep sadness and deep admiration for the two women, who brought such joy and energy to their work every day.
And then there are the brave Sandy Hook teachers who reacted like the trained professionals they are and kept their students safe during the shooting. This heart-rending account leaves no doubt about their dedication, their courage and their love for the children in their care.
I only wish I had never heard of any of them, that they could have continued in their lives unknown to me and the rest of the world. But as this graphic illustrates, they have now joined a too-long list. There have been 13 mass shootings in the U.S. this year that left 73 dead (not counting shooters). It's time we gave our heroes a rest.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And your life's about to get more interesting.
Just found the worst page in the entire dictionary. What I saw was disgraceful, disgusting, dishonest, and disingenuous.

Why make your customer go out and buy an MHL cable on his or her own when you can quickly and easily sell it as an add-on and make a few bucks?
Accell, for example, has announced the addition of its new certified MHL cables that transmit uncompressed audio and video, allowing users to play games, watch movies or listen to music on an MHL-supported DTV, PC monitor or A/V receiver.
Accell's lightweight MHL cable fits into the port of an MHL-enabled smartphone or tablet, directly connecting it to an MHL-enabled display or receiver.
"It's been great to see more companies such as Accell developing thin, lightweight and portable cables. Consumers can carry these accessories wherever life takes them, seamlessly connecting mobile devices to larger displays," says Michael Bergen, senior partner alliance manager, MHL, LLC. "Share photos with friends and family, play games with no lag and update presentations from hotel rooms to boardrooms – that's the beauty of MHL."
Features include:
- Content displayed from smartphone or tablet onto a DTV
- Power charging of connected device while in use
- Connected device can be controlled by using the TV's remote
- Supports up to 1080p resolution and 7:1 channel audio
- MHL compliant – tested and certified by MHL-approved testing center
The cables support MHL-enabled display devices and A/V receivers featuring an MHL input. Available in 6.6 ft. (2m) and 10 ft. (3m) versions, with an MSRP of $17.99 and $21.99.

Indeed, it's quite annoying.
Indeed, it's quite annoying.
A man who's honest with himself knows he's not going to get something for nothing, and walks away.
Pretty much the same here, although I also admit to a lasting fondness for many of the 60s/70s comedies I grew up with.
The thread starting here is a fair example of what I'm talking about. Sloppy makes a post which pretty much drips with sarcasm, and UnknownSoldier gets his knickers in a twist because, in his world, it's impossible for something to be a joke unless there's a big <<--LOL THIS IS TEH FUNNY sign pointing to it to tell him so, and gets called out on it.
Unlike some folks, I'm not especially squeamish about a few mere words.
I've been told "Dude, you fucked up" more than once, and I expect to be told so again in the future. The only expectation I have in that regard is that if someone says that to me, I better have actually fucked up.
AC, please--If I wanted to hear ranting and raving like yours, I'd go back to Tennessee.
(FWIW, I'm a Buddhist and thus fairly uninterested in your petty doctrinal oddities.)
Possibly not, but the recipient surely does.
If ISIS want to send infiltrators to Europe, they can do it much more quickly, easily, and reliably with a few fake passports and some plane tickets.
Roman Catholics number about 1.2 billion, or about 60% of the world's Christians. The RCC isn't exactly hurting for members.
If I fuck up, feel free to tell me I've fucked up, and *how*. Don't waste my time beating round the bush for 20 minutes, or, even worse, for 3 or 4 emails that end up wasting a whole day or more before I find out that I did something wrong and what I did wrong.
I lived for some years in Oz, and I can confirm that Aussies often show that they like you by having a dig at you. The correct response is to have a dig back at them.
In American terms, Aussies like to tease each other quite a lot, and it's considered entirely normal there.
So... you're saying basically that subtlety is not your strong suit? Thanks for confirming what most of us figured out already.
I can talk on Skype for 3 hours (Hi, Mom!) and still have 40-50% charge left. Maybe you just need a new battery?
But there's no apps, which means it's for Luddites, right?
He's saying that his wife found them intuitive. And he never mentioned right-click, you came up with that all by yourself, genius.
FWIW, I suspect that theskipper, like me, is mostly just glad he's found something that (a) works for his non-techy wife, (b) doesn't depend on Windows, and (c) doesn't require him to provide constant support just for her to learn the basics.
In any case, you've attempted to troll someone based on things they didn't say. FAIL.

Time-lapse photography is a technique in which the frequency at which individual still frames are captured is much lower than that used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. For example, an image of a scene may be captured once every second, then played back at 30 frames per second; resulting in a speed increase.
Using time-lapse, one can use most still cameras to create a unique form of video.
During this session, Datacolor Experts David Saffir and David Tobie review time-lapse setup, execution, and post-production. This includes camera selection, setup, exposure, options in capture/frame rates, camera controllers, camera supports, post-production editing, and video rendering. We'll also discuss adding an audio or music soundtrack to the final video. Several time-lapse videos will be reviewed, discussed and critiqued.[Read More]

Ever wonder why your brand new camera isn't focusing exactly where you would like it to? Photographers spend a lot of money on new cameras and new lenses that may not necessarily be calibrated. In this video Craig Beckta of Craig Beckta Photography explains how to calibrate your camera using the SpyderLENSCAL so photos are in focus, just the way you wanted them.
Watch Datacolor experts David Saffir and David Tobie as they introduce Datacolor's newest product, the SpyderHD calibration suite for still and video color management.
They focus on color management for video workflow, helping you understand color controls from capture to display – whether on a reference monitor, TV set, or computer display. They demonstrate the use of the SpyderCHECKR device for camera characterization / profiling and white balance, the SpyderCUBE for color balance control and dynamic range, and the Spyder4ELITE HD calibration device for controlling individual editing displays, displays clustered in desktop workstations and in workgroups. The use of this device for field display calibration, such as with the Atomos Samurai Blade, will also be discussed.

Additionally, layer masks make it possible to combine or "stack" multiple images to create one with continuous depth of field, or to manage any variety of aspects of the image.

Olivia's House with a bright raspberry pink roof is the big set in a new line called Friends, designed to attract girls to construction play. We had to check with LEGO to find out who is who in the back story.
There are three play figures named Peter, with a beard, Anna who is mowing the lawn and wearing a longish skirt; and Olivia in a miniskirt. Who are these people? Are they room mates? No, they are not Friends in the style of a TV sit-com. Indeed, it turns out Peter is the Dad and Anna is the Mom.
That said, we note Dad is sitting in an easy chair while mom is in the kitchen cooking. Olivia is pictured upstairs, maybe that is a computer in her lap. Our first reaction to this gender specific product was negative.
After a lot of reflection, it's still not our preference, but we have to share that our testers generally loved the kits. The most important piece of feedback we received, is that girls that were not building (many had left LEGO behind after DUPLO) were now building, enjoying the experience and asking for more sets. So if pink is the only way to get girls building then--bring it on. Girls have traditionally been left behind in fields that involve spatial relationships and math; concepts that are built in to toys for boys who typically play with building sets. We still think that girls could build with the same primary colored bricks that boys use, but if this will encourage them, we would rather have them building than not. At least LEGO has tried to expand on ideas of what will interest school-aged girls by offering a vet set, an inventor's kit and a cafe. It's not about the mall and shopping which was the emphasis of "girl's building kits" in the '90s.
If you want all the friends, you will have to bring them home in their own separate kits. There is Emma who runs a fashion design studio--she's not just aspiring to be a model; Olivia has an invention workshop with robots; Stephanie has a Pet Patrol; and Andrea is in show biz. These 79-81piece sets ($9.99) would make good birthday gifts for party-goers. If you want something smaller, each comes in a mini 42-piece set with a smaller setting. The good news is that the settings mostly involve less stereotypical activities. Yes, there is a beauty shop that we would skip. Our tester liked all the details in a setting called Heartlake Vet with Mia and Sophie working together ($39.99) It's a 343-piece set complete with office and stables and animal figures. We were confused as to Sophie's hat that looked more like an old time nurse's hat than a vet. Mia is also found at the Heartlake Dog Show ($19.99 ) 183 pieces with two pooches, grooming tools and TV cameras among other accessories.

Take your choice and build one of three different models or build one and then take it apart and try the other two. This features a handsome propeller plane with working props and landing gear that fold up and down for landing and take-off. After playing with that gets tired, convert the prop plane into a sleek stealth-like fighter plane or reuse the bricks and props for making a powerful looking hovercraft. Three challenging builds with clear directions and the need for plenty of attention to details. 241 pieces. Designed for 7-12.

We always asked our testers "What if anything didn't your child or you like about this?" The answer here from both parent and child was a resounding "Nothing!" Our eight-year old tester loved building the 12 inch long and 17 inch wide fire plane, but best of all, he loved the dramatic play features--the bay doors that open and water bricks he could release to put out the fire in the trees! This 522 piece set comes with three mini-figures, rotating propellers, two trees with flames, fire-fighting tools, and an off road fire-truck with trailer and hose. Our testers mom was most enthusiastic about the value of this set for building as well as dramatic play. Her son also customizes his models after he builds them, though she noted that her frinds glue their kids' sets together to make them hold better for pretend play. The problem with gluing is that you can't reuse the bricks or customize once that is done. Note: No actual water is used with this. Marked for 6-12. Probably best for 8 & up.

A three in one kit that means you can make three different models with the 191 pieces in this kit. The red, black and white pieces can create a two-legged T-Tex like figure; a four-legged creature; or a flying beast with a wide wingspan. This is a pretty complex model marked for 7-12. Also available several 3-in-1 minisets($6) with 69-70 pieces. There's a Mini fire rescuer and a Mini sports car. These would be good stocking stuffers or grab bag gifts for parties. For kids 6-12.

This set might have been an award winner, but it is one of those toys that comes with such a broad age label that it may end up fitting no one! My First Build comes with 59 bright blocks and elements plus four cards that are designed to help your child select the pieces needed and 'visualize the build' before they start. The cards are like a matching game that guide the builder step by step. We think this may be useful for older fours and fives, though way beyond most of the age group listed on the box, which says, 1 1/2 -5. We also think that some of the pieces are a bit too small for toddlers who typically still mouth their toys. The hose for the "gas pump" is long and snake like and sure to interest toddlers who frequently taste and chew on their toys. Although the toys appear to have passed the choke tube test, by being too long, many do fit down a toilet paper tube and are therefore a close call from our more guarded point of view. Why take the risk of having a toddler gag on a toy? We suggest you remove the hose and flowers if your toddler receives this set. We also question the value of building cards for this age group.
We do not believe preschoolers need to replicate a boat or vehicle others design rather than discovering how the blocks can combine to make objects of their own imagining. Developmentally, this proscribed kind of building is really far more appropriate for older children who want to make representational constructions. Young preschooler and certainly toddlers benefit more from exploring and discovering for themselves how to make their own symbolic settings. They often name something after they build it rather than setting out to make an object. This set includes a Duplo man figure, dog, windows, chair and cash register.

Kids love to build toys that work and this 525 piece set comes with mechanics and all the parts needed to build five vehicles. These are building plans for building and assortment of racing cars, tow truck, flatbed, jeep and convertible. The set includes 2 male mini-figures, wheels, tools and color-coded basic elements
This set is marked for 4+, but for those with limited dexterity, this may be a better choice for 5's and 6's. The step-by-step plans are clear, but younger kids will need help in learning how to "read" the drawings.

Based on the Disney Pixar, Cars, this racing car set features Raoul CaRoule, the world's greatest rally car that is about to race his biggest rivals, Lightning McQueen and Max Schnell. Can Raoul win the race or will he be our maneuvered? First players have to assemble the cars and slammers. There are three separate building plan booklets that show step by step how to build the racing pieces. Hit the slammers to see who is the fastest! Includes the following vehicles: Lightning McQueen, Max Schnell, Raoul CaRoule and Raoul's pittie. This is the kind of set that does more than gather dust on a shelf. It's a fun setting to play with when the building part is done. It's marked 6-12 but kids at the younger edge will need help with the building.

Part of the easy start modular build kits, this new garbage truck is bright green and white and assembles with 208 pieces. It includes two play figures, a lifting rear loader, two trash bins, shovel, brush and some plastic garbage, i.e. a fish and banana. The truck measures over 8" and will add to the city scene. Others in the collection this season include an ambulance and firetruck. We know kids at the younger end of this will need help with the plans and small pieces. 5-12

Call 911! There's an emergency. We need an ambulance! This set includes the makings for a 6" long ambulance with opening rear door, a removable stretcher, movable roof, and three minifigures--2 doctors and a patient. There is also a bicycle, helmet, trash bin and doctor's equipment. Like the City Fire Truck and Garbage Truck, this is marked and easy start modular build for 5-12. We know kids at the younger end of this will need help with the plans and small pieces.

There's a tree on fire in Lego City! Quick! Go to the rescue with this 243-piece set that includes the makings for a 5" long firetruck with a rotating water cannon and big storage compartments. There's a firefighter with an axe and of course, a tree. Marked as an easy start modular build for 5-12. Others in the collection this season include a garbage truck and ambulance. We think kids on the younger end will still need help with following the plans.

Is October Fool's Day a thing now? This has to be a joke. No lawyer or investor with any sense would get anywhere near this.
This idea is worse than MeowMeowBeenz.
Then why not use hosts on some Microsoft-owned (test) domain?
It only runs Universal Apps. Win10 IoT is a glorified bootloader.
There is no "why" other than padding sales numbers and not losing ground to Linux in embedded deployments.
Win10 IoT is aimed at embedded systems vendors, not hobbyists or makers. It is specifically intended to replace all the old XP/CE deployments that still exist. They're tossing it out to end users (people who might buy a kit like this if it didn't involve Windows) as a bone. The OS itself is just a glorified bootloader for a Universal App: no shell (unless PowerShell counts), no desktop, and even some of the GPIOs are inaccessible. Plus, you need another full Win10 machine to load anything on it. Maintain vendor lock-in? Check.
MS wants to get to a BILLION Win10 devices, and IoT is a stunt to get there faster: that many forced upgrades and Surface/WinPhone slaes will never happen, but the embedded vendors will happily push them along so they can sell new ATMs and POS systems at outrageous markups.
IIRC, Weis & Hickman had a falling out with TSR around the time the Saga System was released because they didn't want Dragonlance to be D&D anymore, and the Saga System sucked. I'm pretty sure W&H own the DL IP, and only licensed it to TSR.
Because the book authors have severed all ties with the game.
Here's some news for you AC, I haven't played D&D in over a decade, and I was never a fan of that character.
The thing about almost every D&D setting is that they are either a clone of something else (chiefly Tolkien), or don't represent what most people think of first about D&D (Dark Sun, Planescape, and Ravenloft aren't generic fantasy). I'm pretty sure Dragonlance is simply off the table, as it were.
Movie studios want a built-in audience, and as Marvel and DC know well, audience is attached to characters, not setting. What characters does D&D have with an audience big enough to pique a studio's interest? Without Dragonlance they both are in Forgotten Realms: Elminster and Drizzt. Elminster would be rightly seen as a Gandalf knock-off, but no one has put Dark Elves on the big screen before. You'd have to get Salvatore on board and convince a lot of people that a 25 year old AD&D 2nd Edition character can carry a franchise aimed at driving 5th Edition. I think it would be a hard sell all around... would people go to see a Drow movie, or three of them, and still remember that it's D&D?
Because D&D is generic (enough to simulate other properties) it has few unique and compelling character assets of its own. And Hasbro has fucked a lot of shit up with regard to how valuable any of those characters can be outside of game materials.
The only D&D book character a studio would want to adapt is Drizzt Do'Urden. Built-in audience is a huge studio requirement these days, and Dark Elves haven't been on the big screen before.
WoTC never understood D&D, and Hasbro only understands board games. This is part of why there have been 3.5 versions of D&D since WoTC bought out TSR. I'm not sure how D&D could be packaged as a movie franchise, or why any studio would want to back it.
Oculus became completely irrelevant to me as soon as FB bought it. I'll wait to see what Valve comes up with.
Exactly. Node is a solution looking for a problem, the problem being that people who only know JS only want to know JS. In their near total lack of wisdom they see everything as a nail, being armed with a Fisher-Price hammer. JS should stay quarantined in the browser.
I really prefer zero with a dot instead of a slash, but I don't like the oval this zero has in it. It's not vertically centered in the regular variant, and gets reduced to an incongruously thin sliver in bold.
Exactly. We need to see the Weissman score.

Alexandria: Redistricting Starts for Public Schools
ACPS chooses J.R. Reingold & Associates Inc. as its redistricting partner.
With a whimper rather than a bang, redistricting has started for Alexandria Public Schools. On Aug. 24, Alexandria City Public Schools (ACPS) selected J.R. Reingold & Associates Inc. as a partner for its redistricting process.
Alexandria: 'Our Promise — That Every Student Succeeds'

Think about your favorite book as a child. Go ahead, close your eyes, and remember all of the feelings and memories that it evokes. Do you feel proud because it was the first book you read on your own? Was it the first time that you felt connected to someone? Did it make you laugh or giggle? My favorite book as a child was "Stellaluna" by Janell Cannon. It was the first time I felt transported to another world, and ever since then, I've been hooked.

Alexandria: SOL Scores Improving
Gains at Jefferson-Houston; mixed results at TC.
The forecast calls for sunshine, but make no mistake it's raining test scores these days, and improved numbers for schools are sprouting over town.

Alexandria: All Lives Matter

All lives matter is the righteous reactionary retort to the now often shouted mantra of Black Lives Matter. This tit-for-tat, back-and-forth battle is the reason we cannot have meaningful discussions about race in America.

Attribution to Deviant and Nondeviant Social Roles.
Date: May 1999
Creator: Rohlman, James E.
Description: A questionnaire was used to study causal attribution to social roles as influenced by perceived deviance of the role, instructions to identify with the role, and participant gender. The perceived deviance or nondeviance of the roles was determined by a pilot study. The roles were varied randomly through 12 hypothetical events, and identification or nonidentification instructions randomly assigned. The participants were 194 male and female university students. Participants gave the cause of each event and rated the cause on five dimensions: internality, externality, stability, globality, and controllability. Causal attribution to deviant social roles was found to result in a significantly higher across-scales score and to be more internal, less external, and more global than attribution to nondeviant roles. Participant gender showed an interaction with deviance overall and on the dimensions of stability and globality due to significantly higher ratings by women participants than those by men.

Ethnically mixed individuals: Cultural homelessness or multicultural integration?
Date: May 1999
Creator: Navarrete-Vivero, Veronica
Description: Studies addressing racial/ethnic identity development have often overlooked the developmental cultural context. The impact of growing up with contradictory cultures has not been well explored. Immersion in multiple cultures may produce mixed patterns of strengths deficits. This study reviews the literature's currently inconsistent usage of the terms race, ethnicity, and culture; introduces the concept and theoretical framework of Cultural Homelessness; relates CH to multicultural integration; and develops two study-specific measures (included) to examine the construct validity of CH. The samples (N = 448, 67% women) racial, ethnic, and cultural mixture was coded back three generations using complex coding criteria. Empirical findings supported the CH-specific pattern of cognitive and social strengths with emotional difficulties: social adaptability and cross-cultural competence but also low self-esteem and shame regarding diff

Secondary traumatic stress disorder in the therapists from the Oklahoma City bombing
Date: May 1999
Creator: Landry, Lisa Pinkenburg
Description: Little empirical research has been done to examine the effects that working with traumatized individuals has had on their therapists. It is known that mental health professionals often do suffer ill effects, especially symptoms of secondary traumatic stress disorder. The present investigation tested predictors of secondary traumatic stress disorder in the therapists who provided services for the Oklahoma City bombing. Predictors were therapist social network involvement, years of counseling experience, and amount of self-reported empathy experienced from others. Indicators of secondary traumatic stress were the Frederick Reaction Index-A, the Compassion Fatigue Self-test for Helpers, and the SCL-90R. Hypotheses were tested using a series of hierarchical multiple regressions. Results demonstrated no significance for years of experience or social network, but perceived empathy accounted for 11% of the variance on the SCL-90 and the Compassion Fatigue Self-test for Psychotherapists with social network and years of experience controlled.

Women receiving genetic counseling for breast cancer risk: Cancer worry, psychological distress, and risk recall accuracy.
Date: May 1999
Creator: Wade Walsh, Margo
Description: This follows an earlier study of the same data set, which, through its findings, presented new questions that are investigated in this study. Both studies used a prospective controlled design, wherein women receiving genetic counseling for breast cancer risk were randomized into two groups. Subjects receiving an audiotaped recording of their genetic consultation (tape group) were compared to subjects who also had a genetic consultation but did not receive an audiotaped recording of it (no-tape group). Participants were drawn from attendees at the genetic clinics of two London hospitals and included 115 women with a family history of breast cancer. Cancer worry and psychological distress were assessed before genetic consultation (baseline), and at one- and six-month follow-ups by post. Objective risk was estimated by the geneticist during the consultation, and subjective risk was assessed at one month follow-up. The goals of the current study were to investigate relationships between cancer worry, psychological distress, and recall of genetic risk for breast cancer in a sample of women receiving genetic counseling for breast cancer risk, and to investigate the role sociodemographic variables on cancer worry, psychological distress, or risk recall for these women. Results for this sample of women with a family ...

Vicarious traumatization, secondary traumatic stress, and burnout in sexual assault and domestic violence agency staff and volunteers
Date: August 1999
Creator: Baird, Stephanie
Description: Two constructs, vicarious trauma (VT) and secondary traumatic stress (STS), describe therapists reactions to clients traumatic material. VT (TSI Belief Scale [BSL]), emphasizes cognitive belief system changes resulting from cumulative exposure to survivors. STS, (Compassion Fatigue Self-test for Psychotherapists [CFST]) combines PTSD and burnout symptomatology explaining sudden adverse reactions to survivors. Burnout (BO; Maslach Burnout Inventory [MBI]), links emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and deficient personal accomplishment to inadequate institutional supports in interpersonally demanding work. This study investigated BSL and CFST validity, counselor trauma history, and client exposure-related VT, STS, and BO in 105 trauma counselors. Results demonstrate concurrent validity between BSL and CFST; other results dispute adequate validity. BO, and client exposure were related. Traumatized counselors scored higher than non-traumatized counselors on CFST, BSL, and SCL-90-R.

Affective Reactions and Psychosocial Functioning in the Course of Psycho-Educational Assessment
Date: August 1999
Creator: Buenrostro, Martha
Description: Every day, children throughout the United States are given psychological evaluations for many different clinical and psycho-educational purposes. Very little research has attempted to investigate children's responses to the experience of having intellectual and achievement tests administered. The goal of the current research was to explore the effect a psycho-educational evaluation has on children in areas of self-concept and anxiety. Dependent variables consisted of pre- and post-test measures of anxiety and self-concept. A total of 75 children in the 4th 5th and 6th grades were recruited after referral for evaluation and possible placement in the Talented and Gifted Program or Special Education. This study employed Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), t-tests, multiple regression analysis, and correlational analysis. Findings included initial evidence that children endorsed decreased anxiety after psycho-educational assessments rather than increased anxiety, suggesting that fear of unknown situations may be more anxiety provoking than the actual situation itself, potentially beneficial findings for psychology and psychometric professionals who evaluate children daily. Students endorsement of academic self-concept significantly predicted anxiety after a psycho-educational evaluation, indicating that students who feel capable in academic areas may endorse less anxiety after an evaluation than students who do not feel academically capable. Finally, negative verbal interaction ...

Profile of the youth self-report among south Texas adolescents and the potential relationship to pesticide exposure
Date: August 1999
Creator: Hagar, Kristy S.
Description: The potential for human exposure to pesticides exists particularly for agricultural workers (i.e. migrant workers) and individuals within close proximity to pesticide-sprayed crops (i.e. those living on or near agricultural farms). Children, through biology and behavior, may be more susceptible and vulnerable to exposure to pesticides than adults. The purpose of this study was to examine young populations particularly at-risk for occupational or accidental exposure to pesticides and determine associated behavioral, emotional, and physical symptoms. A total of 444 students from two South Texas school districts completed questionnaires assessing level of risk of exposure to pesticides and were categorized into at-risk and low risk categories. Physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms were obtained using the Youth Self-Report. Children who were at-risk demonstrated significantly higher scores on the Youth Self-Report (YSR) in the areas of anxious/depressed, attention problems, social problems, somatic complaints, thought problems, withdrawal, internalizing behaviors, and total problem behaviors than children who were at lower risk of pesticide exposure. Odds ratios were obtained and suggested that children in the at-risk category were more five times more likely to score in the clinically significant range on the Attention Problems subscale, and three times more likely to score in the clinically significant ...

The Relation of Attachment, Adjustment and Narcissism to Masculine Gender Role Conflict
Date: August 1999
Creator: Selby, Brian W.
Description: The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between masculine gender role conflict, attachment variables, narcissism, and adjustment. It was expected that men who reported higher masculine gender role conflict would also report unhealthy attachment, have a greater degree of narcissism and poorer adjustment. This study employed a sample of undergraduate males who completed self-report questionnaires measuring masculine gender role conflict, narcissism, adjustment, and attachment. Hypotheses were tested using canonical correlation techniques. Results indicated that healthy attachment was related to low masculine gender role conflict; however, unhealthy attachment was not related to high masculine gender role conflict. In terms of narcissism, higher amounts of narcissism were related to high amounts of gender role conflict, but in a subset of results individuals who reported low masculine gender role conflict also reported higher narcissism in areas that are assumed to relate to positive self regard. Results related to adjustment indicated that high masculine gender role conflict was related to less psychological well-being replicating past studies. Theoretical and methodological issues were discussed in light of these findings.

Media effects on the body shape ideal and bulimic symptomatology in males
Date: December 1999
Creator: Barta, Jonna Lee
Description: This study investigates the impact of sociocultural mediators in relation to eating disorders among male undergraduates. Literature on eating disorders has demonstrated that a thin body shape ideal depicted in the media directly contributes to eating pathology among females, but little research has investigated the direct effects of ideal body shape images among men. The focus of the present investigation was to assess the direct effects of exposure to the ideal male body shape on mens affect, self esteem, body satisfaction, and endorsement of U. S. societal ideals of attractiveness. In addition, the relation of these variables to bulimic symptomatology was examined. Modeling a study conducted on women (Stice & Shaw, 1994), male undergraduates between the ages of 18 to 25 participated in premeasure (N = 169) and post measure (N = 95) conditions. Participants in the post measure were randomly exposed to pictures from magazines containing either male models depicting the ideal body shape, an average body or pictures of clothing without models. Results from repeated mulitvariate analysis indicated that exposure to the ideal body shape condition did not demonstrate significant negative changes in mens affect, self esteem, body satisfaction or endorsement of U. S. societal ideals of attractiveness. ...

Measuring change in university counseling center students: Using symptom reduction and satisfaction with services to propose a model for effective outcome research
Date: December 1999
Creator: Quick, Cynthia L.
Description: Abstract This study proposes a model for meeting increasingly mandated outcome research objectives in a university counseling center setting. It is proposed that counseling centers utilize their existing intake forms, along with an annual satisfaction survey to determine the effectiveness of counseling services. Effectiveness is defined as improvement and measured by the reduction of the symptoms or presenting concerns with which the client initially presented. It also introduces the Relative-Change Index (R-Chi) as an objective way to quantify intra-individual change occurring as a result of therapy. This new mathematical procedure allows for a more meaningful assessment of the client's degree of improvement, relative to their potential for improvement. By re-administering the problem checklist, routinely included as part of the initial paperwork for each client at intake, again post-therapy, it is possible to quantify improvement by measuring the difference in distressing concerns. Additionally, including a subjective, retrospective survey question asking the client to indicate their perceived rate if improvement at follow-up provides construct validity and allows for correlational comparisons with R-Chi. Results suggest that student/client ratings of the degree to which the services they received satisfactorily addressed their presenting concerns were significantly rated to their R-Chi score. This model suggests that ...

Dior and I: an artful argument for a new couture
It's really difficult to get fashion on film right – because it means so much to the people who love it, and is worthless to those who loathe it. Nothing will change those points of view – not extolling the hours of work poured into intricate clothes, not bandying about awe-inspiring figures about fashion house turnovers, not filming seamstresses weeping with emotion as their work is showcased, or possibly ripped to pieces. I personally fall into the former camp, so no matter how much you question the worth versus the cost or roll your eyes with puritan disgust at the vanity of it all, I won't be swayed.

Prada's Miu Miu label have commissioned an ongoing series of film shorts, titled "Women's Tales", by leading female filmmakers. The latest is by Alice Rohrwacher. It's number 9. The intention, Miu Miu say, in the lavish literature that's issued out with each, is to answer a few timeless questions. "How do women appear to themselves? How do they appear to each other? Isn't appearance also a political and intellectual issue? How should a woman be today?"

Skift Take
The expansion of the sport is important, for the future of the sport and for the future of expanding the clientele of winter mountain resorts.
After exploding onto the scene about two decades ago, snowboarding is now sputtering in the United States, according to a recent study by RRC Associates…Snowboarders accounted for nearly one-third of visitors two years ago. Now that surge has fizzled.
The causes of the slowdown are many…Chief among them is age: the young "grommets" who fueled the sport's explosion have matured..fewer young people seem to be taking up snowboarding. In the 2003-4 season more than 42 percent of all beginners on the slopes ages 14 and younger started out on a snowboard.
If nothing is done to reverse the slip, visits by snowboarders to resorts could plunge by one-third from its high by the winter of 2021-22.

High Visibility Animated Cursors
editor's review
High Visibility Animated Cursors represents a collection of 10 cursor schemes with different colors, which forms a total of 257 cursors.
It can be used by anyone who wants to replace their standard operating system pointers, in an attempt to customize the workstation according to their preferences. Other popular options include wallpapers, theme, gadgets, and screensavers.
The pointers have multiple colors and a pretty large size (compared to Windows standard settings), ideally for children or people who have eyesight problems, since they can easily spot the cursors on the screen.
The color schemes revolve around blue, green, grey, black, light blue, pink, red, white, and yellow.
Installation is not a requirement, so you can just extract the files somewhere on the hard disk. It is also possible to save High Visibility Animated Cursors to a USB flash disk, in order to copy them to any computer. Details on how to install and uninstall the mouse cursors are listed in the Readme file.
These pointers can be used on any system that has a true or high color video card. However, they have not received updates for a very long time, so the image quality is not very good on newer operating systems.
To sum it up, High Visibility Animated Cursors is a great solution to replace the Windows built-in mouse cursors, provided that you are running on an older operating system.

|Reviews for Harry Potter: Rogue
| jonez227 chapter 20 . 11/24/2009
based on the title of the story i had expected a more independant harry. that being said, i liked it. basically rewriting the 6th book yet keeping the important details was a smart move. it's good that snape, draco, lucius, all the death eaters died. I just wish there was more luna. she's my favorite and i think she should've been in it more. oh well. i might just have to read this in the future again.
| CitrusGreenTea chapter 20 . 11/8/2009
I have to say that I freaking love this story. I am amazed with how well you write and the detail in which you write. This is my fifth time re-reading it. :) It has inspired me to write my own independent Harry. Should be awesome! Thanks for writing such an awesome story.
| The Lady of the Land chapter 1 . 11/1/2009
dumbledore really is a meddling fool! you're a good author, have you ever considered trying your own story?
| Abraxan chapter 20 . 10/7/2009
I enjoyed this whole story, although I don't normally enjoy manipulative Dumbledore that much. You did a wonderful job of showing how manipulative he was and of growing Harry and Ginny into the heroic people they should be. JKR never developed Ginny as a character that much nor did she show any reason for Harry to wind up married to her other than wanting to be part of the Weasley family - the growth of their relationship was never explored, a shortcoming that has been well-addressed in fanfics like this one. I HATE stories where Harry dies, but your ending was fitting and touching - it made me cry. Thanks for writing such an interesting and well-written story.
| ObsessedWithHPFanFic chapter 20 . 9/23/2009
Good story. I usually don't like Ginny but this story made her actually likable. Thanks for sharing!
| BocMage chapter 20 . 9/8/2009
Excellent story, you don't do anything half way and neither is this story. I'm slowly going through your work when i have the time to more fully appreciate the depth you go,
good work and good luck,
| Amity Wayne Mizuno chapter 9 . 9/3/2009
First off, I want to say I really dislike having to leave remarks that leave a person feeling bad for themselves and discourages people from writing, as it is a dying art. But, I am a writer working on her first novel as well as an English tutor for elementary,middle, and high schools in my area. I found that you misquoted the "you have nothing to fear but fear itself." Franklin D. Roosevelt said those lines and he was an United States born citizen which is a requirement to become President of the USA. _; I also tutor history. If you have any questions pertaining to anything of a historical nature, or a quote you are unsure who said it, please feel free to write to me. If I am not sure who said it my father most likely will be able to tell me.

Great story,
While it doesn't say you can have two secret keepers at the same time, when the secret keeper dies everybody who knew the secret became a secret keeper.
| dead feather chapter 20 . 8/7/2009
I didn't prefer the epilogue in the books and here neither. It was so sad. Greatest wizard of the times died way before his time on a mysterious decease and his wife suicided herself.. And last thing Harry did with his magic was to make a portkey, which they really didn't need instead of choosing to spend his last time with his family..
I prefer the end to be open. Not closed shut and dead.
Otherwise I did like the story. Never really learnt to like Ginny. She still wasn't quite different enough from canon.
The pace got better, as you said it would :) Voldemort came as a surprise since he hadn't really been around in any form earlier. he just one day was there to fight against. I liked your idea with Percy coming back but it seems a company line that heroes must die quicker than the rest.
| dead feather chapter 18 . 8/7/2009
Heh. Fun.
I did imagine a scene where Ginny answered her mother on the question about why they got married that they did it because she was always huffing and puffing around. This way she wouldn't have to do that anymore. eg. Molly was the reason they felt they had to get married. That would've gone over well :) and it's sort of true. If they were let to date in peace, they'd still be happily just snogging.
Was the family key ever explained? Why Ginny could touch it while she wasn't a potter..
About the charms, shouldn't it be anti-apparition ward and not anti-disapparition ward? I mean my english is not always that good but isn't the latter a double negative that would actually allow apparition..
lol. 'a small fee' Goblins really are all about the money
| dead feather chapter 10 . 8/6/2009
Question: harry has multiple fidelius' protecting his property, right? Because no fidelius can be that large. But does he have to tell every fidelius to everyone he invites there if they want to stroll around a bit?
I expected Ginny to feel bad since it was her fault that Harry got hurt. If she hadn't ran to him like a headless chicken, all would be well. She is also the reason why Harry now doesn't have any use from James' form anymore.
| dead feather chapter 6 . 8/5/2009
This is a good story although I'm beginning to feel antsy. Maybe a little more action? the start was good, all in speed and planning but the confrontation with Dumbledore was a tad blaah.
I'm not much of a Ginny shipper. I've figured out that it's more to do how she was handled in canon and thus when ever she acts like she does in the books, I just wanna smack her and shook Harry to see what he's thinking of doing! She needs to be independent, Harry devoted, smart, something to cut her off from canon!Ginny. I much prefer Luna or anyone else.

Mets don't expect a reunion with Johan Santana
The Mets met with Johan Santana's agent during the Winter Meetings, but are not optimistic about re-signing him (Martino, Jan. 6).
It was reported last week that Santana was close to signing a minor league deal with a team (Cafardo, Dec. 29), but nothing official has been announced.
The Mets (Castillo, Dec. 8) are among 12 teams (Martino, Jan. 6) to show interest in Santana, who is said to be throwing from 150 feet on flat ground with no pain, according to his representatives (Leible, Dec. 4).
Santana has not pitched in a big-league game since August, 2012. He underwent a second surgery to repair a torn capsule in his left shoulder this past April and missed the entire 2013 season.
