Jefrey Woodall still breathes a sigh of relief every time his elevator pass works correctly in the new Willman Business Center.
It's one of the minor glitches that come with moving into a brand new building at York College, and one Woodall will gladly take, along with the upgrades in technology and facilities for the students.
Woodall, the chairman of the Graham School of Business at the college, is one of 31 staff and faculty members in the business school to move into the Willman Business Center, which opened in mid-August.
Woodall said the 15-month project added eight classrooms, numerous small meeting areas for students and several labs, including a NASDAQ training lab sponsored by the stock market.
Woodall said NASDAQ gave $500,000 to build the lab, which includes four Apple televisions, an individual work station for every student, "smart" boards and software that allows students to simulate stock trades in real time.
The televisions show the market trends and allow students to compare stock values, monitor the markets and compare commodities like natural gas and heating oil. The televisions can also sync with other Apple technologies to show what is on an iPad or iPhone screen.
The smart boards, located in every classroom in the building, allow professors to project an image on a white board and then "draw" on top with computerized markings with an electronic pen. The technology also allows professors to take a
picture of the finished drawing and save it for future use.
In the lab each seat has a desktop computer that retracts into the desk, outfitted with software for trading programs and to show stock portfolios. The computers also have MorningStar, a software popular for business management.
Future potential: Woodall said the trading lab opens up possibilities for new classes in areas like financial literacy and investments.
Woodall said the faculty have discussed the possibility of having student stock portfolios and perhaps even a York College fund managed by students. Those options are only in the discussion stages, but Woodall said the potential for growth is there, and he expects the business school's enrollment to grow as a result.
Woodall said the school is also building on community relationships and hopes to see an expansion of those.
For example, business majors have an opportunity to take an integrated business class where groups of two, three or four students will work together with the leaders of local businesses. Each group analyzes the business it is assigned to see how it fits in the industry.
Woodall said the class fits with the mission of having the students learn how to do things, not just memorize terms. Plus, the model involves between 40 and 60 local businesses, depending on the semester.
In addition, the new building boasts a fifth-floor hall the college hopes to offer as a meeting place for off-campus businesses and organizations. The Yorkview Hall is intended as a conference room of sorts and is wired for presentations just like the classrooms. It also provides a panoramic view of York City, which adds to the aesthetic of the room.
Woodall said the business school is still figuring out the logistics of offering the space for public use, but hopes to continue integrating the business community.
For now, though, Woodall said the priority is making sure the new building features add to the students' experience.
"Our focus is where it should be -- on making sure that we're delivering a good class for the students," he said.

President Obama said on Monday that his plan to drastically reduce the number of United States troops in Iraq by the end of the summer is on schedule, suggesting that America's military efforts in the war-torn nation are nearing a conclusion.
While speaking at the national convention of Disabled American Veterans, Obama indicated that America's presence in Iraq will soon transition toward a diplomatic-led effort, according to The Washington Post.
By the end of August, the number of U.S. troops in Iraq will be reduced to 50,000, with a complete withdrawal scheduled for the end of 2011. The president noted that the soldiers who will remain overseas for the next 18 months will be providing support and training to the Iraqi army.
"As a candidate for president, I pledged to bring the war in Iraq to a responsible end," said Obama. "And that is exactly what we are doing."
Despite the president's celebratory tone, Iraqi officials announced last week that July was the deadliest the nation had seen in over two years, CNN reports. According to figures, a total of 535 civilians, local police officers and Iraqi soldiers were killed during that month.
The U.S. military issued a statement on Sunday disputing the claims, stating that only 222 people were killed in July.

State Sen. Eric Schneiderman is pumping up his campaign with $450,000 in personal funds as he pushes to win Tuesday's five-way Democratic primary for attorney general against opponents who are treating him like the front-runner.
They sniped during final debates this week at his financial disclosures and ethics reform plans, while the New York Post on Thursday faulted his endorsement by the Rev. Al Sharpton and his "embrace" of the controversial activist.
Nassau County prosecutor Kathleen Rice, while saying she trails the other candidates in personal wealth, has reported many last-minute donations and has raised nearly $5 million overall in campaign contributions.
"I'm probably the only one in the race who's not a millionaire," Rice said. "It matters to this extent. If you're going to use your personal fortune to bankroll your campaign, the public has a right to know where that money's coming from."
All filed disclosure reports required by the state Commission on Public Integrity, though investment amounts are redacted from public documents. Starting with Rice, who reported $150,000 in salary and $2,000 of other income last year, most have separately released their 2009 tax returns.
All but Rice showed investments such as mutual funds, stock index funds and stocks.
Schneiderman, a legislator for 12 years, reported almost $97,000 in salary from the state and $13,000 in dividends last year. He acknowledged in Wednesday's debate having made "a lot of money doing complex litigation" as a partner in a big firm, adding he stopped that nine or 10 years ago. "My sense was that, not that there were legal conflicts, but that it was something that I just felt inappropriate," he said.
Schneiderman said he introduced legislation to require lawmakers, including trial lawyers, to disclose clients, which current state law does not require. He has denied that a growing list of endorsements from unions and elected officials would prevent him from doing the attorney general's job, saying he cast legislative votes they didn't always like.
Eric Dinallo, former state insurance superintendent and assistant attorney general, questioned how Schneiderman could go back and investigate the Senate, where he was a leader and helped put in place the current leadership that also supports him. "That's a legal prohibition. It's a conflict of interest."
Schneiderman disagreed, saying Dinallo was wrong on the law. "Unless there's a personal conflict, some matter that I was personally involved in, there's no prohibition. "
Dinallo, who for three years was managing director and global head of regulatory affairs for Morgan Stanley, reported along with his wife almost $328,000 in salary last year, $15,000 in dividends, more than $8,000 in interest and $61,000 in business income.
Attorney Sean Coffey, a former naval aviator, corporate attorney and shareholders' trial attorney who retired last year, and his wife reported $4.9 million of 2009 income listed under rental real estate, royalties, partnerships, S corporations, trusts, etc., plus $39,000 from interest and $138,000 from dividends.
Coffey, endorsed by the New York Post, said in largely self-funding his campaign and as an outsider he's not beholden to vested interests. He added $1 million on Aug. 30 and another $100,000 on Tuesday and again Thursday. He said Schneiderman "caved to the trial bar" in the ethics bill lawmakers actually approved that exempted lawyer legislators from disclosing all their clients.
Schneiderman said he never heard a word from Coffey in Albany about reform until this campaign, and that Coffey had previously given campaign contributions to state officials around the country that his law firm did business with.
Assemblyman Richard Brodsky, a longtime legislator and Westchester attorney with a private practice, said he is not a millionaire. "In these debates I've tried to have a conversation about things that matter in the daily lives of New Yorkers," he said.
Brodsky aimed his question at Rice, who had appeared to be the initial front-runner, about what she'd do concerning non-criminal justice issues. She said the issues are about protecting families.
A statewide Quinnipiac poll in late July showed most New Yorkers had no idea who they wanted for attorney general or who was running.
"It's flip a coin as far as picking," said Quinnipiac poll's Maurice Carroll, though TV ads are starting to appear. "These are all solid citizens and they're all good. … This is an election where it's going to be decided by who works to get people out."
The Marist poll's Lee Miringoff said with low turnouts expected and candidates not widely knowm, it appears to be wide open. He said the current conventional wisdom favoring Schneiderman may just be the inference from political pundits talking to each other. He also doubted that an endorsement from Sharpton would be politically damaging unless accompanied by "significantly targeted media messaging" that candidates can't afford right now.

Tatum reveals birth plansComment on this story
London - Channing Tatum has revealed his wife will give birth in London.
The Magic Mike star, who is presenting an award at the Oscars on Sunday night, will be working on a movie in the UK when his wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum is due to give birth to their first child this summer and the couple have decided to have their baby there so he doesn't miss it.
The 32-year-old actor told Ryan Seacrest on E!'s Live From The Red Carpet: "We're having the baby in London. I'm shooting there at the time. No downtime whatsoever."
The Side Effects star recently revealed he thinks his wife's pregnancy is the "sexiest thing".
He said: "I think it's one of the sexiest things ever!"
While the couple can't wait to become parents, they don't want to find out the baby's gender until it is born.
Channing previously explained: "We don't know (if it's a boy or a girl). We're going to be surprised. It's one of the only real surprises you're ever going to get that's legit!"
He also admitted he is terrified but excited about the impending birth.
He said: "I mean, I don't think there's one thing that doesn't terrify you, but in the most unbelievably beautiful way. Someone said it's really like watching your heart jump out of your body and run around, and I think that can possibly be the coolest thing that I've heard of." - Bang Showbiz

Charlie Sheen to make 'revealing personal announcement'
Charlie Sheen graduates high school after 30 year wait
Hollywood hellraiser Charlie Sheen has finally graduated from his California high school, 30 years after being expelled for poor grades and even worse attendance.
The actor recounted his regretful mis-education on NBC's The Tonight Show before being surprised by host Jay Leno, who wheeled out a school friend to present him with the diploma.
Sheen had been due to receive the document in June but fatal shootings at Santa Monica College saw the ceremony cancelled.
Instead, he donned a mortar board and gown on the chat show to receive the diploma for Santa Monica high school's class of 1983 and later posed with it backstage.
Sheen releases video urging wanted officer to call him
Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen has released an online video urging a former US police officer - who is accused of killing three people - to call him.
Christopher Dorner, 33, who is a former LA Police Department officer, is suspected of carrying out the attacks as reprisal for his 2008 dismissal from the force.
Dorner posted an online manifesto this week that described Sheen as "awesome."
In a video posted on celebrity website TMZ, Sheen said: "You mentioned me in your manifesto, so thank you for your kind words. I am urging you to call me. Let's figure out together how to end this thing."

Sheen, who played "Charlie", was fired in March 2011 and replaced with Ashton Kutcher after the programme's creator Chuck Lorre killed off Sheen's character.

Awesome, great news! When you say you want to introduce Command, does that mean that someone will be acting as the Commander such as in Empires mod for HL2 or Iron Grip: The Oppression/Warlord, playing in RTS mode?
Angels Fall First: Planetstorm is an objective-based assault game fought both in space and on the ground. Featuring totally original art and completely new game types, we take you from flying gigantic capital ships, piloting fighters, and manning turrets to the traditional vehicular and infantry combat, both planet-side and inside the starships themselves. At your command are more than two dozen ships and vehicles, including all original weaponry, 3 maps with full bot support, two custom characters, with more on the way. This is a <b>total</b> conversion mod in the fullest sense of the word. Welcome to Planetstorm.
Here at Planetstorm we've been doing boring things. Really boring things. The small, boring things that need to be done to make a whole game come together, like tackling the large backlog of untextured models, bugfixing, testing, cranking up the bar on detail in both mapping and modeling...
Posted by AStepIntoOblivion on Dec 3rd, 2008
Here at Planetstorm we've been doing boring things. Really boring things. The small, boring things that need to be done to make a whole game come together, like tackling the large backlog of untextured models, bugfixing, testing, cranking up the bar on detail in both mapping and modeling. This has taken up most of the dev effort since our last release so I'm afraid we don't have an awful lot of new eye candy because most of the improvement is nuts and bolts stuff.
It's a pain in the ass and there is so much still to do, but we're getting there little by little. The maps you've played are becoming even more pretty and finely tuned, especially the ship interiors which are now heartbreakingly beautiful.
Other things the art department have been toiling over the past few weeks include finally sorting out weapon animations (plus the addition of several new weapons - TBA!) and we have also started work on a new space map - AFF-Darsalaam - a gigantic commercial station complex fit for some truly epic vacfights.
In the code corner, new stuff includes the introduction of "penetration" to our weapon fire - you can now shoot through certain materials based on a dynamic system (neat features on this include projectiles ricocheting if the angle is shallow enough, penetrating multiple surfaces if they are thin enough etc)
We are also pondering long and hard about the best way to introduce Command into the game, both for space and ground - but that's a ways off yet. Next MSUC phase (phase 3) will be in mid-April, so that's probably the next time you'll be able to get your hands on a new Planetstorm build. One of our core goals for phase 3 will be to have a stable, bug-free build capable of being run for long periods on a server, so we're excited about finally getting to kill.. i mean play with you guys :)
Lastly, and not in any way relevant to Planetstorm, our other game - The Second Antarean War - is now ready for beta release, and will be available to download for free from January 11th. just to recap, 2AW is a standalone (not a mod) MMO/RTS hybrid which features epic scale Homeworld-style RTS gameplay in a persistent galaxy. we need people to come and help us break it in interesting ways, so if you need your AFF fix and cant wait for April, go check out the site - Aff2aw.com and sign up for an account.
For those who didn't catch the last news, you can download our first release from Moddb. If you have any problems with the installation, you can ask us in the Planetstorm Forums. Make sure to check the readme first.
Common problems encountered can usually be fixed by doing the following:
If you're still having problems, don't hesitate to post and ask us. :)
We're still in need of people. If you like what you see and think you can help, contact us in our site: www.affuniverse.com or ps.aff2aw.com.Thank you. :)
Awesome, great news! When you say you want to introduce Command, does that mean that someone will be acting as the Commander such as in Empires mod for HL2 or Iron Grip: The Oppression/Warlord, playing in RTS mode?
One could only assume thats what it means :)
Anyway, this looks really professional and very appealing.
At first, I didn't think much of this but seeing those screenshots and taking a better look at the mod, It's one I will be watching, it looks fantastic and I can't wait to see some finalization from you guys, keep it up! :)
... I love it! It's so beautiful and the new maps look awesome. Keep up the good work AFF team.
Why is this news post listed under "no related game" if it's a UT3 mod?
Looks great at any rate.
Looking great as usual :D. I'll have to try that other game o yours you got there sometime.
Next year is so far away, cant wait to see and really see and play it.
Great news guys.
discuss that bullet penetration a bit more, im likin the sound of it [:
So does damage decrease once the projectile hits someone AFTER hitting a texture? does the projectiles "projected lifespan" shorten dramatically after firing through something?
Whatever im genuinely interested in your code,animation and physics implements and fixes :D
re bullet penetration: yes, already implemented and working
sorrry double post
Weird indeed... but according to it, it's related to UT3 and our mod.
I'd love to ki-, I mean PLAY with you guys too... hehehehehe
*hides the 'kill everyone' button where only he can find it* :p
I couldn't find the RTS/FPS you were talking about on your site but I certainly want to give it a try.
January 11th. Not long :)
Very nice...
This Second Antarean War game looks in-depth. Definitely looking forward to it.
When do you expect to release a more stable version?
That's still something being discussed heh. The only clear promise we have is another release by Phase 3. As for the rest, we can only hope the bugs get ironed out faster and assets get finished quicker in order to merit another release. So I'm sorry to say that it's honestly a bit unknown at this time. Though of course, like you, we would love to have another more stable release before Phase3, but it's simply something we can't promise at the moment.
Darsalaam, a fictional place.
Brunei Darussalam, a real country.
Any relation? is Darsalaam modelled on Brunei (in part), or is this a naming coincidence?
Regardless of this, a fantastic looking mod, well done, quite obviously many long nights and gallons of caffeine.
Most of the placenames in the Angels Fall First universe are modeled after Earth locations, slightly changed after centuries of course, but still recognizable.
I created Darsalaam, and it was actually named after the city of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. It's actually a merchant station owned by the Cinnabarans, which are in a way, descendants of mostly middle eastern colonists from Earth.
There is however, another station named after another place closer to Brunei, the Sulawesi Gateway station, of the Polaris Concordat space.
(I'm filipino btw, so both Darussalam and Sulawesi/Celebes are pretty near me, heh)

4. Christian Bale
For Bale, 2008 was a year of highs and lows. On one end, there's the success of "Batman Begins." On on the other, there's the leaked video of him on the set of "Terminator Salvation," freaking out, "f"-bombs and all, at a crewmember who walked onto set during one of Bale's key scenes. As a result of the clip, Bale looked like an unstable kook. Bale didn't help his cause when, later that year, he found himself accused of battering his mother and sister. (The charges were later dropped.)

Flash of Genius. Miracle at St. Anna and Religulous.
Flash of Genius
Directed by Marc Abraham
Reviewed by Sean Burns
Opens Fri., Oct. 3
Roger Ebert is fond of saying, "It doesn't matter what a movie is about, but how it is about it." I guess there's a lot of truth in that statement, as even a subject dubious as the insular world of competitive Donkey Kong was fodder for last year's enthralling documentary The King of Kong.
But on the other hand, director Marc Abraham's debut feature Flash of Genius follows a years-long patent dispute regarding the invention of the intermittent windshield-wiper motor.
It's not as exciting as it sounds.
Greg Kinnear stars as Bob Kearns, a fussy academic and devoted dad who saw his design for the precious windshield-wiper motor stolen by the Ford Motor Company, then spent the rest of his life fighting for credit.
Structured as a simplistic David and Goliath story, the movie follows plucky Bob wrangling with legal issues for years on end, immersing himself in Byzantine patent law precedents while his family falls apart, all building up to the inevitable courtroom theatrics as Kearns (naturally) acts as his own counsel.
By now you know the drill: Old adversaries make dramatic entrances halfway through the proceedings, then stand silently in the back waiting for their big moment to applaud on cue with the rest of the audience. You've seen this movie before. Everybody has.
It's befuddling that such banal material was ever considered worthy of big-screen treatment. Kearns is as bland a protagonist as one could imagine, and despite Kinnear's occasional attempts to hint at a darker side, it's all just too milquetoast for words. The usually vivacious Lauren Graham tamps down her charisma and sleepwalks through the long-suffering wife routine, and even dependable Dermot Mulroney flat-lines as Bob's Judas business partner.
The only pizzazz the movie gets is from an all too brief hambone turn from Alan Alda as a smooth-talking lawyer who seems to have wandered in from a far more engaging movie.
The only surprise is an end-credits revelation that the bleary, television-standard cinematography comes from Dante Spinotti, who previously shot Heat, L.A. Confidential and many more of the most sumptuous movies of recent years. Flash of Genius looks like something you'd find on the ABC Family Channel, which is probably where it belonged in the first place.
Miracle at St. Anna
Directed by Spike Lee
Reviewed by Matt Prigge
Now Showing
There's a price to pay for Spike Lee's genius. In order to get to singularly great ideas he's fated to plow, bravely and foolishly, through many singularly awful ideas.
When he's firing on all cylinders you get the freaky banner year of 2006, when he followed up Inside Man with When the Levees Broke. Of course, to get there Lee had to make 2004's She Hate Me, one of his unwieldy follies with too many characters, too many subplots, too many undernourished ideas, too little focus and much too much blaring from longtime composer Terrence Blanchard. (See also: Jungle Fever, Girl 6 and Summer of Sam.)
After 2006's double shot it was inevitable that Lee would backslide. And so he has with Miracle at St. Anna. The film opens in 1983 with a black veteran watching John Wayne in The Longest Day. "Pilgrim, we fought for this country, too," he mutters, laying the groundwork for what could very well be Glory for World War II. Turns out the underappreciated service of African-American soldiers is one of about 20 ideas banging around St. Anna's two and a half hours.
The basics involve a quartet of black soldiers (most prominently Derek Luke) who find themselves in a remote and labyrinthine Italian village. As German soldiers advance they befriend the villagers, enact a love triangle, get involved in the bloody business of Italian partisans and so on and so on and so on.

The Myakka pedigree
15 years of beautifully designed fair trade furniture, forest care and fast delivery.
Quality and good service
we bought this for a guest room and it is perfect for our needs. Good quality for the money and we chose the style because we think it is something that won't date. The delivery guys were good as well and took it to the relevant bedroom, unpacked it and took all the packaging away. This is the second item we have bought from Myakka (we also have a tv cabinet which we are very pleased with) and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes
Everything i expected and more
A decorative piece of real solid wood furniture, unpacked and placed in an upstairs bedroom as I asked (it's quite heavy). Nice option of shelves, too. For the money, it really deserves 5 stars, but I reserve that for Chippendale quality.
Small but beautiful
great piece of furniture , small though so great for a spare bedroom . The courier refused to take it upstairs on delivery. But thanks to Heather at Myakka and the boss from the courier who returned personally to see what was what , it was taken upstairs no problem.

According to Chief Moore,the homeowner found the fire and attempted to extinguish it, but was unsuccessful. Chief Moore says the man had no phone to call 911, so he made several attempts to wake up his neighbors, but there was no answer. He continued to try other homes until someone answered.
Firefighters were not aware of the fire until about 2:00 a.m. By that time the fire had ignited most of the exterior and contents stacked on the rear deck. The fire burned up the side of the home and into the attic from there the entire home was engulfed.
Firefighters had to fight the fire from outside the home, because the roof was already collapsing when they arrived. Chief Moore says all southern stations responded, including Pleasant Valley Volunteers.

When Hermès Met Dunkin: See What Happens When Brands Freaky-Friday Their Logos
Because sometimes it takes a logo-swap to put brands in perspective.
With certain exceptions, nothing a brand lets you see is by mistake. Every detail of a company's image has been meticulously crafted and fussed over. There's a reason, for instance, that McDonald's and many other fast food chains use red and yellow in their signage. (Those colors are proven to be the most eye-catching.) All this specificity, and the familiarity it builds over time, is what gives an air of unreality to seeing one brand cloaked inside another brand's logo.
In a post for full-service design hub Round Peg, Jenna Giles experimented with various brands by giving them the Freaky Friday treatment. Swapping the font choices and colors of Lego with Ray Ban illustrates some of the decisions that go into creating a logo. Making a brand seem playful or tasteful requires a lot of distinct choices, and it's clear how well those choices pay off when you see these kinds of clashes. Now just imagine how scandalized the average Hermès customer would feel to be associated with Dunkin Donuts.
Have a look through a few more examples in the slides above.

Raven's Progressive Matrices
Raven's Progressive Matrices (often referred to simply as Raven's Matrices) or RPM is a nonverbal group test typically used in educational settings. It is the most common and popular test administered to groups ranging from 5-year-olds to the elderly.[1] It is made of 60 multiple choice questions, listed in order of difficulty.[2] This format is designed to measure the test-taker's reasoning ability, the eductive ("meaning-making") component of Spearman's g. (g is often referred to as general intelligence.) The tests were originally developed by John C. Raven in 1936.[3] In each test item, the subject is asked to identify the missing element that completes a pattern. Many patterns are presented in the form of a 6x6, 4x4, 3x3, or 2x2 matrix, giving the test its name.
The Matrices are available in three different forms for participants of different ability:
- Standard Progressive Matrices: These were the original form of the matrices, first published in 1938. The booklet comprises five sets (A to E) of 12 items each (e.g., A1 through A12), with items within a set becoming increasingly difficult, requiring ever greater cognitive capacity to encode and analyze information. All items are presented in black ink on a white background.
- Coloured Progressive Matrices: Designed for children aged 5 through 11 years-of-age, the elderly, and mentally and physically impaired individuals. This test contains sets A and B from the standard matrices, with a further set of 12 items inserted between the two, as set Ab. Most items are presented on a coloured background to make the test visually stimulating for participants. However the very last few items in set B are presented as black-on-white; in this way, if a subject exceeds the tester's expectations, transition to sets C, D, and E of the standard matrices is eased.
- Advanced Progressive Matrices: The advanced form of the matrices contains 48 items, presented as one set of 12 (set I), and another of 36 (set II). Items are again presented in black ink on a white background, and become increasingly difficult as progress is made through each set. These items are appropriate for adults and adolescents of above-average intelligence.
In addition, "parallel" forms of the standard and coloured progressive matrices were published in 1998. This was to address the problem of the Raven's Matrices being too well known in the general population. Items in the parallel tests have been constructed so that average solution rates to each question are identical for the classic and parallel versions. A revised version of the SPM - the Standard Progressive Matrices Plus - was published at the same time. This was based on the "parallel" version but, although the test was the same length, it had more difficult items in order to restore the discrimination that the original SPM had among more able adolescents and young adults when it was first published. This new test, developed with the aid of better sampling arrangements and developments in the procedures available to implement the item response theory, has turned out to have exemplary test properties.
Raven first published his Progressive Matrices in the United Kingdom in 1938. His three sons established Scotland-based test publisher J C Raven Ltd. in 1972. In 2004, Harcourt Assessment, Inc. a division of Harcourt Education acquired J C Raven Ltd. Harcourt was later acquired by Pearson PLC
The Triple Nine Society, a high IQ society, accepts the Advanced Progressive Matrices form for one of their admission tests. They require a score of at least 32 out of 36 on or before December 31, 1999 on the RAPM.[4] The International Society for Philosophical Enquiry (ISPE) similarly accepts the RAPM as a qualification for admission,[5] and so does the International High IQ Society.[6]
Underlying factors
Raven's Progressive Matrices and Vocabulary tests were originally developed for use in research into the genetic and environmental origins of cognitive ability. Raven thought that the tests commonly in use at that time were cumbersome to administer and the results difficult to interpret. Accordingly, he set about developing simple measures of the two main components of Spearman's g. These two components are (1) the ability to think clearly and make sense of complexity, which is known as deductive ability (from the Latin root "deducere", meaning "to draw out") and (2) the ability to store and reproduce information, known as reproductive ability.
Raven's tests of both were developed with the aid of what later became known as item response theory.
Uses of the tests[edit]
The tests were developed for research purposes. Because of their independence of language and reading and writing skills, and the simplicity of their use and interpretation, they quickly found widespread practical application. For example, all entrants to the British armed forces from 1942 onwards took a twenty minute version of the SPM. The routine administration of what became the Standard Progressive Matrices to all entrants (conscripts) to many military services throughout the world (including the Soviet Union) continued at least until the present century. It was by bringing together these data that James R. Flynn was able to place the intergenerational increase in scores beyond reasonable doubt.[7] Flynn's path-breaking publications on IQ gains around the world have led to the phenomenon of the gains being known as the Flynn Effect. Among Robert L. Thorndike[8] and other researchers who preceded Flynn in finding evidence of IQ score gains was John Raven,[9] reporting on studies with the RPM.
A 2007 study provided evidence that individuals with Asperger syndrome, a high-functioning autism spectrum disorder, score higher than other individuals on Raven's tests.[10] Another 2007 study provided evidence that individuals with classic autism, a low-functioning autism spectrum disorder, score higher in Raven's tests than in Wechsler tests. In addition, the individuals with classic autism were providing correct answers to the Raven's test in less time than individuals without autism, although erring as often.[11][non-primary source needed]

Côte d'Ivoire forward Salomon Kalou believes a good performance in his side's final pre-competition game in Hong Kong will be vital going into next week's Men's Olympic Football Tournament.
The 22-year-old Chelsea player, who spent three seasons playing in the Dutch top flight with Feyenoord, will be up against some familiar faces when the Ivorians take on the Netherlands at Hong Kong Stadium on Saturday evening. And he admits the Dutch are the team everyone likes to watch.
"Holland are a really nice team to watch and they have many great players. These are the guys you pay to go and watch. It will be great just to be on the same pitch as them," said Kalou.
"However, although they have many good players, we need to show we can compete with them and learn, so we can go to the Olympics with confidence," added Kalou, who has already played over 100 games for Chelsea.
In the other game in the ING Cup on Saturday, USA, who disappointed in a 0-0 draw with Côte d'Ivoire earlier in the week, play Cameroon. The African side were beaten in the tournament by the Netherlands, and defender Andre Bikey knows another defeat will not be good preparation for the Olympics.
"The game against the USA is very important for us, as we need a win to boost our confidence," said Bikey, who was impressive at the heart of Cameroon's defence against the Dutch.

DOG HEALTH So you have your new puppy picked out. There are quite a few shots, treatments and examinations that will keep the newest member of your family healthy.
DOG FUN Walking your dog is not only crucial to keeping him healthy and happy, it strengthens the bond between your canine friend and his caregiver. There are a lot of obstacles out there. Don't forget these simple tips to keep your walk fun and safe in the outside world.
HEALTH The same techniques that physiotherapists use to treat a variety of injuries and conditions in humans have been adapted to suit animals with great success. Family pets, show dogs, and working dogs can all benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Dogs whose activities involve a lot of agility are especially susceptible to the types of problems that physiotherapy can address.
FIRST TIME OWNERSBringing a dog into your family is a decision where many people don't realize it's magnitude until after they have the dog. There are a number of things that you need to research before you decide to purchase a dog, and it starts right in your own home.
HEALTH Many believe that a dog and a new baby cannot happily coexist, so therefore the dog has to go. This is not necessarily the case. A new baby does not mean you have to abandon your dog.
DOG TRAINING It's not enough to simply walk the dog through the front door and hope he will acclimate to his new surroundings; you have to teach him how to interact with the new people and items in his environment.
PET-NEWSWORTHY If you're considering adding a pet to your home in 2015, you're in very good company. As many as 71.4 million homes are expected to include a pet in 2015. According to the American Pet Product Association, pet families have increased from 56% of households in 1988 to 62% this year.
FIRST TIME OWNERS When you bring a new puppy into your home, it's a time of great excitement for everyone involved: you, your kids, your neighbors, and even the dog. Here's our guide on what to expect and how to handle the transition without losing your mind.

Rhode Island has once again ranked as the worst state in the nation in terms of small business-friendliness, according to thumbtack.com, a website devoted to connecting customers and clients with professionals in the field.
The results come from a two-month survey of over 12,000 small business owners across the nation. Thumbtack used 11 different metrics to determine small business-friendliness, including overall friendliness, ease of starting a business, ease of hiring, regulations, health and safety, employment, tax code, licensing, environmental factors, zoning, and training and networking programs. Rhode Island failed in nine of the 11 metrics and scored a D+ in environmental factors and a C- in training and networking programs.
The scores on all of the metrics are equal to or worse than the previous two years.

December 1, 2015
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Some people are annoyed by door-to-door salespeople, but police said one Clarksville homeowner took it too far when he answered his door to an alarm salesman while holding a shotgun and then fired it so the guy would get off his property.
The Tennessean is reporting that Clarksville police charged 27-year-old Kenneth Spurlock with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.
Police say Spurlock answered his door Tuesday holding a shotgun and asked the 20-year-old salesman to leave. When he didn't immediately leave, police said the homeowner fired a shot into the ground 7 to 10 feet from where the salesman was standing.
The salesman is said to have left after the homeowner threatened to fire the shotgun again.
Spurlock could not be immediately reached for comment.

CAPAC's mission is to provide educational excellence, enrichment and quality entertainment through the arts while inspiring the community to participate in cultural diversity. CAPAC Mission is demonstrated through the following:
CAPAC'S history - CAPAC began March 16, 2002, in Prince William County, Virginia, by a group of concerned citizens led by Co-Founders Lawrence A. Dulin and Denise M. McPhail. The CAPAC Board of Directors is comprised of citizens throughout the greater Washington, DC, area who understand the need for diversity and artistic enrichment in Prince William County and surrounding areas. The individuals believed something should be done to provide cultural diversity in performing and visual arts in the Greater Prince William County area. From a great deal of discussion by the group, the collective opinion was to start a performing and visual arts program. This program would be active year-round.
Originally recognized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable establishment in February 2004, CAPAC is an organization for people who love the arts. It is designed for the enjoyment of all people. As an arts institute CAPAC provides programming for children, teens and adults. The programs include drama, dance and art workshops, plays, poetry readings, auditions, musicals, recitals, arts festivals and more. The programs will enhance the poem within, the vision in a painting, the movement in dance, the melody of a song and the feeling of self expression.
CAPAC is managed by a board of directors, which is comprised of citizens throughout the greater Washington DC area. The board members believe that CAPAC encourages and provides an important public stage for the diversity of artistic expression in our community. That diversity – featuring performers, dancers and artists of all ages – has been shared with audiences as far as Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and we are not limited in our hard work and our vision to extend CAPAC's reputation throughout the Greater Washington area.

Cosmetic Surgery Procedure - facial implants
Chin and Cheek Implants
Overview of Chin & Cheek implant surgery
These cosmetic surgery procedures improve the structure of the face to provide increased strength and shape. Poor bone structure is a sign of aging and suggests weakness.
A prominent cheekbone gives the face a more triangular look, while highlighting the eyes. This traditionally has photographed well and, in the past, has been the look of many fashion models.
Chin implants provide strength to the lower face, and produce greater facial harmony.
In both cases, augmentation is made deep under the skin on the bone so that it is concealed and not detectable. All incisions are hidden within the mouth. They can be done under local, twilight or general anaesthetic, and both have relatively fast recovery periods.

Video: Brother of slain 15-year-old charged with manslaughter
ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - The Circuit Attorney's Office issued a warrant Friday against Marcus Anderson, who police say accidentally shot his 15-year-old sister.
It happened on Thursday in the 4600 block of San Francisco Ave, in the Penrose neighborhood of North St. Louis. The 20-year-old, who police say has a mental disability, was playing with a shotgun and accidentally shot 15-year-old Alicia Anderson.
Police say the mother told them the gun belonged to a family friend who left it there.
"She apparently thought she had hid the gun well-enough that nobody would find it until she was able to properly dispose of the weapon," St. John Green said.
Anderson's boyfriend was in the house when it happened, and he ran down the street to get help. Sources say the gun was spray-painted gold, which could possibly be a reason why Marcus Anderson didn't think it was real.
A judge set Anderson's bond at $20,000.

One court decision. Two polar-opposite conclusions.
That's the story on Capitol Hill on Monday after sexual-assault charges in a high-profile case against an Army general were thrown out in military court under a plea deal for lesser violations.
The case further fueled Democrats' intra-party fight over how to handle military sexual assault, a struggle that pits New York's Kirsten Gillibrand against Missouri's Claire McCaskill. Following the plea deal, both senators remained as dug in as ever.
Congressional reaction Monday to the dismissal of the charges was swift and divisive. It reinforced familiar battle lines over an ongoing political fight over the proper role for commanders in such cases.
McCaskill contends that the charges that Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Sinclair twice forced his former mistress, a captain, into sex acts and threatened to kill her and her family would never have come forward if not for the commander.
"As a former sex-crimes prosecutor, Claire knows how difficult these cases can be, and this case is obviously a complicated one," said McCaskill spokeswoman Sarah Feldman. "But one of its lessons highlights what we already know–that commanders are often more aggressive than prosecutors in pursuing prosecutions."
via Gillibrand, McCaskill Rekindle Debate After High-Profile Military Sexual-Assault Case – NationalJournal.com.
In the search for justice, one of the nice things about vesting authority in a commanding officer is accountability. There's a person you can point a finger at, and say "This person is in charge, is responsible for charges being pursued or not."
Sen. Gillibrand wishes military justice to more closely match that of the civilian system. But that ignores the fact that in the civilian system, there are any number of cases, a large percentage of allegations, that are simply never pursued at all, with little or no recourse for the purported victim.

American gun owners are increasingly keeping firearms for protection instead of for hunting and sporting purposes, according to a new poll by the Pew Research Center.
Among gun owners surveyed, 48(PERCENT) said they own them for protection, while 32(PERCENT) said they own a firearm mainly for hunting purposes. That's a large shift from 1999 when 26(PERCENT) of those surveyed said they owned a gun for protection, while 49(PERCENT) said they used it mainly for hunting, according to an August 1999 poll conducted by ABC News and The Washington Post.
