Betting the 2013 NBA Finals
Is a veteran Spurs team worth a series bet against the Heat?
LAS VEGAS -- Don't bother watching replays of the regular-season matchups between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs in order to handicap the NBA Finals that start Thursday night.
On Nov. 29, San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich gave Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili the night off (and even sent them back home) when the Spurs visited Miami. Oddsmakers inflated the line to Heat minus-13 and the San Antonio backups nearly pulled off the upset before losing 105-100, easily covering the spread. Popovich was famously fined $25,000 by David Stern for "a disservice to the league" for not playing his stars in what was potentially their only trip to South Beach.
On March 31, Miami coach Erik Spoelstra did basically the same thing by sitting LeBron James and Dwyane Wade when the Heat visited San Antonio, but he avoided a fine after the Heat actually won the game 88-86 as a nine-point underdog.
Maybe both coaches were clairvoyant and figured they'd be meeting in June and didn't want to give the other coaching staff any extra game film to study. But even though these two teams haven't met at full strength in more than two years (the lone meeting in the strike-shortened 2011-12 season was played without Wade and Ginobili), these teams are certainly familiar with each other -- and handicappers know enough about them and are ready for a great series.
Let's take a look at who has the edge in Game 1 and the series.

"Marikina City" Marikina by santeria01
Marikina Travel Guide: 14 reviews and 102 photos
I've been here in Marikina for almost 2 years now, yet I still have a lot of things to discover in this city.
Marikina made its brand in the country as its shoe capital, where shoes made here are known for its quality.
I mentioned also the Janitor Fish because these critters infested the rivers of Marikina, probably in an attempt to clean the polluted waters of the river. Marikina government actually was successful in cleaning the river and converting areas around it into a park. However, the janitor fish ate everything in the river, including other fishes' food, so the janitor fish population grew while the other fishes died, they kinda ruined the balance. Am just not sure how the Marikina local government are going to solve it. Last time I heard was they are offering money to whomever could catch some janitor fish in the river.
OK, so SM Marikina just opened Sept. 5, 2008. My sister works here as a Customer Service Associate, so she's having busy days.
So far, SM Marikina is one of the prettiest SM malls I've seen. I mean, I've been to The Podium, and it was a real high end mall so it should be pretty, but when you get to see SM Marikina (which caters to the masses) it was real pretty, the front area is made of glass, and you will have a nice view of, uhmm, Marcos Highway. hehehe. And on the right side, you will see Marikina riverbanks. They built a separate road for the mall connecting it to the Highway.

I have always thought this argument was stemming from a false dichotomy. Marriage licenses came about because of miscegenation laws - do any of you realize that?
When my grandmother got married, she went to a church and got married. There was no marriage license, there was no government intervention. She didn't get a tax advantage or a tax hit. The government had nothing to do with it.
I am trying to figure out why people think it's acceptable for the GOVERNMENT to even recognize marriage at all.
Sure there are obligations when you get married, and there are privileges as well such as a power of attorney if you spouse gets seriously ill, or visitations rights, etc.
It should just be contract law and marriage should be entirely based up to the individuals involved. It's none of the government's business who you are in a relationship with - it's just you, and the people you have a relationship with.
You shouldn't get a tax penalty, or a tax supplement for being married. You shouldn't get advantages or disadvantages for being married. Why should the government be involved at all in relationships at all?
But we have this dumb debate that's a carry over from a bunch of laws created by the Klu Klux Klan in segregated America.
Meanwhile, the country has a debt of 16.7 trillion dollars, raises less than 16% of that per year in tax revenue, is involved in one war directly, is agitating one in Syria, wants to go to war with Iran, is still occupying Iraq with a bunch of mercenaries, has signed the NDAA which eliminates 5th amendment rights, is phonetapping the entire country,
But this is the "BIG DEBATE" at the moment. The cause du jour.
Maybe we can start arguing about flag burning, and school prayer next? I mean, that's more important than fundamental constitutional rights and the solvency of the nation - isn't it??

Good post !
#193661 May 28, 2013
OK Adam, let's dance...
Would you happen to know what the earliest Historical source is that refers to Marriage?
When you say, "It's none of the government's business who you are in a relationship with - it's just you, and the people you have a relationship with."
Now think about that statement...some of the consequences?
Not sure you thought this one all the way through, huh?
#193662 May 29, 2013
Marriage has been a cultural tradition for ages in all cultures. Monogamy, polygamy and polyandry (bet you have to look that one up!) have been common, and all of them still exist although not officially in this country.
Marriage hasn't always been something the government imposed on people. That's new. It certainly isn't a federal debate. The federal government has no right at all to even consider this issue one way or another. At BEST it's a state issue.
And what consequences? Statutory rape won't go away, if that's what you're thinking of. Marriage is just a word. Get married if you like. I don't care if you're married to 3 women and 4 men. I don't care. It's none of my business.
This should be limited to contract law. Why, for example, should somebody have to register a sexual relationship to get contract law for visitation rights, power of attorney, or whatever else the perceived benefits of marriage are? If you have children with your partner, why should obligations be different for each parent regardless?
But again:
I think this whole thing is just a stupid distraction. There's a lot more important things going on now. I'm tired of these trivial debates of stupidity that don't even deserve national attention when major issues that absolutely deserve national attention aren't even discussed.
I'm not interested in a debate about this. I simply don't care about it. I'm only expressing my frustration with this constant topic that gets a bunch of idiots into a war over when they have a fundamental responsibility to consider really urgent issues as our country hits a debt to income ratio it hasn't seen since 1932, is going to war all constantly and unnecessarily, while it dismantles the constitution.
Get your freaking priorities straight or you kids can live in a bankrupt, fascist failed nation.
Oh, but let's get back to gay marriage. It's so important that this big issue gets resolved by government, which shouldn't even be involved.
#193663 May 29, 2013
Well then I guess it would be pointless to explore the history of Marriage.
You are right of course about the attention this is given considering the other pressing issues we face as you mention.
#193664 May 29, 2013
Why should anybody care? Heck, in Sparta women had to dress like boys when introduced to their husbands, because in Sparta, the state thought homosexuality was great - after all, you're more likely to fight more fiercely when your sexual partner's life was also at risk. Men just weren't used to women in that culture.
Hinduism mentions marriage, it's the oldest religion in the world that is still practiced. Of course, in that religion, widows were expected to commit suicide by throwing themselves on the funeral pyre.
Does this have anything to do with our nation today? No. Does this relate to the "debate" about gay marriage? No.
Marriage in all cultures was basically a social contract to create and raise children as near as I can tell historically. That kind of went out with the 1960's "sexual revolution" when single parent families suddenly became acceptable. If that's culturally OK today, then why even have state marriage at all? What purpose does it serve?
It's just a freaking word. Why homosexual couples want is the associated contract law - and they can all their union anything they please.
Just settle this STUPID ISSUE and move on.
OK, I'm nearly done ranting. Just this whole thing just totally vexes me. So tired of people trying to get the government in on EVERYTHING. When the government manages to balance their budget, then they might have the right to dictate to everybody what should and shouldn't be done in their PERSONAL lives - but to me, they are just a bunch of power hungry incompetents with a bunch of mewling babies screaming at it like it's a parent or something.
These group of morons distract you with a shiny object and you run with it while another trillion dollars is dropped down a hole to a bunch of criminals in the financial sector, and you don't even know it and you run with it for YEARS. The abortion "issue", the flag burning "issue", the school prayer "issue". blah blah blah blah blah.
But back to the vitally important issue of gay marriage again. Why does NFL MVP Adrian Peterson think about it? ANS: WHO CARES?
But it's in the "news".
Got any idea what bills are in Congress right now and how your representative plans to vote on them? Why that garbage doesn't belong in our media at all!!! Does it? Hey, can you even name ONE BILL that has been passed into law this year? Gee, that isn't covered in our "media". Guess that doesn't effect anybody in the US - why cover it?
Back to this important issue of Gay Marriage. What does Oprah think?

The Minnesota law highlights further implications of marriage redefinition in the law. For example, the law states that terms such as husband,wife,mother, and father that denote spousal and familial relationships in Minnesota law are to apply equally to persons in an opposite-sex or same-sex relationship.
The law also states that parentage presumptions based on civil marriage will also apply, thus allowing for children to have two mothers or two fathers.

Here's how "straight married couples" have kept marriage such a sanctimonious and "traditional" social institution...
They spend forty-billion dollars each year marrying one another, and then turn around and spend a little over thirty-three billion divorcing.
And they have the AUDACITY to try to tell us that WE'RE going to destroy marriage!
Ain't that a kick in the pants?
As Paul Harvey would say, here is 'The Rest of the Story';
The last intervention into marriage by the government was to institute 'no fault' divorce.
Divorces skyrocketed, and the social health of children plummeted.
Now you want an even larger government intervention imposing a mutually sterile duplicated half on marriage?
Yeah, that sounds like another typical move by government...

Justice brings up polygamy in Prop 8 gay marriage case
By Matt Canham | The Salt Lake Tribune
First Published Mar 26 2013 12:46 pm Last Updated Mar 26 2013 07:22 pm
Washington If gay marriage is legal, what about polygamy?
Its a long-debated political question, one that surfaced in Tuesdays Supreme Court hearing on Californias gay marriage ban, known as Proposition 8.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor brought it up while questioning former U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson, a Republican who argued that gay marriage is an individual right and should be protected by the Constitution.
"If you say that marriage is a fundamental right, what state restrictions could ever exist?" Sotomayor asked before referencing polygamy and incest among adults.

#193672 May 29, 2013
Here... Let me post what U.S. Solicitor General, Ted Olsen, said to Justice Sotomayor.
"[P]olygamy raises questions about exploitation, abuse, patriarchy, issues with respect to taxes, inheritance, child custody it is an entirely different thing."
"If a state prohibits polygamy," he said, "its prohibiting conduct. If it prohibits gay and lesbian citizens from getting married, it is prohibiting their exercise of a right based upon their status."
I think he sums it up nicely...
#193673 May 29, 2013
Same sex marriage will lead to polygamy!
Same sex marriage will lead to marrying your sister!
Same sex marriage will lead to marriage with animals!
Same sex marriage causes global warming!
Same sex mirage causes toast to fall buttered side down!
It was the proponents of same sex marriage that faked the moon landings!
It will get more and more pathetic as time marches on, and in the end when the have totally lost they will blame every natural disaster as a punishment from their imaginary playmate.
But the world has grown up, a little bit anyway, and their screaming at the top of their lungs looks more and more like ignorant fanatics, and politically, they will be nothing but the butt of jokes.

Smart people aren't threatened by such nonsense.
My husband and I are both called "husband." Neither of us are confused by that.
When kids have two Dads, they often differentiate (for the sake of being practical) much the same way they differentiate between what they call their Grandfathers, i.e. calling one "Dad" and the other "Pop," for example. Nobody is confused by that, either.
Raise your standards.

"A 1995 National Health and Social Life Survey by E.O. Lauman found that up to nine million children in America have gay or lesbian parents."
You'd think that out of 9,000,000 children who were raised by a gay or lesbian parent, there might be a SIGNIFICANT finding, which would make them easily identifiable as having been raised by a gay or lesbian person.
Also: Many children have one "in the closet" gay parent.

N.F.L.: WEEK 13 -- YESTERDAY; It's Not Even Close As Ravens Enjoy One
Published: December 6, 1999
The passing was sharp, the running was solid and the defense held together in the fourth quarter. It sure didn't look like the Baltimore Ravens. And Tennessee Coach Jeff Fisher is certain that his team in no way resembled the Titans.
Tony Banks threw a career-high 4 touchdown passes and Priest Holmes ran for 100 yards as the Ravens enjoyed a rare rout, beating Tennessee, 41-14, yesterday in Baltimore.
Tennessee had won six of seven, but on this day the Titans were no match for the Ravens, who beat a team with a winning record for the first time this season.
''It's a great feeling and it's been a long time coming,'' said Baltimore's Michael McCrary, who had three and a half sacks.
The Titans had won 13 straight American Conference Central games, but that streak ended with a thud. ''This is not the football team I'm used to seeing,'' Fisher said.
Up by 13 points midway through the fourth quarter, Baltimore did not opt to run out the clock. Banks threw four straight passes, the final one a 39-yarder to Jermaine Lewis that made it 34-14 with 6 minutes 2 seconds remaining.
Rod Woodson then returned an interception 47 yards for a touchdown with 4:12 left. It was his ninth career interception return for a score, tying Ken Houston's National Football League record.
Tennessee guard Bruce Matthews played in his 260th game, the most by an offensive lineman in N.F.L. history. It was his 193rd consecutive start, a streak that began in November 1987.
Host New England picked a good time to beat Dallas for the first time. The Patriots broke a three-game losing streak -- and boosted their fading playoff prospects -- with their best defensive performance of the season last night.
Drew Bledsoe improved slightly over his recent struggles, but still threw two interceptions in the first half. Then he led the Patriots on a 65-yard fourth-quarter drive capped by Terry Allen's 3-yard touchdown run that gave them a 13-3 lead with 6:39 left.
That and Adam Vinatieri's first-half field goals of 41 and 23 yards were all the Patriots needed to beat the Cowboys for the first time in eight tries.
Emmitt Smith of Dallas joined Barry Sanders as the only players to rush for more than 1,000 yards in nine consecutive seasons. Smith gained 75 yards on 19 carries, giving him 1,053 this year. That milestone did not mean much as the Cowboys found the road an inhospitable place once more. They dropped to 1-6 away from home and failed to get a touchdown for the first time this season, scoring only on Richie Cunningham's field goals of 20 yards in the first quarter and 34 in the fourth.
St. Louis capped its unlikely rise from National Conference West doormat to division champion with a victory at Carolina.
''I came here thinking we could get it done,'' said Dick Vermeil, hired as Rams coach in 1997 after a 14-year coaching hiatus.
Georgia Frontiere, the team owner who hired Vermeil, sought him out after the game to give him a poem she wrote for the occasion.
''Except for my children and my grandchildren, this is my life,'' she said.
Off in a corner of the locker room, Kurt Warner, the Arena League refugee, soaked in the celebration scene, holding his N.F.C. West champions cap and T-shirt as he tried to gather his thoughts.
With four regular-season games left, Warner has 32 scoring passes, one more than Jim Everett's team-record 31 in 1988.
''The records are nice,'' he said, ''but we want something that can never be taken away from us. We want that little ring.''
Warner threw for 351 yards and 3 touchdowns, including a pair to Az-Zahir Hakim.
St. Louis, which improved to 10-2 for the first time since 1978, has not been to the playoffs since 1989. After winning their first six division games by an average of 25 points, the Rams wrapped up the crown by weathering the Panthers' second-half rally.
The Rams had shut out their last three opponents in the second half, but Carolina scored 14 points to make it close before Dre' Bly's 56-yard interception return put St. Louis up by 10 with 9:48 left.
Chris Chandler threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as host Atlanta snapped a three-game losing streak by routing even more hapless New Orleans.
The Falcons, averaging just 14.1 points a game, posted their highest point total of the season and 10th straight victory over the Saints. New Orleans extended the N.F.L.'s longest active road losing streak to 12 games.
Already playing without running back Ricky Williams, who was sidelined by a toe injury, the Saints lost quarterback Billy Joe Hobert on their third possession with bruised ribs.
Danny Wuerffel, his backup, was sacked five times, and picked off twice by Ray Buchanan, who returned the second interception 52 yards for a touchdown. The Falcons reached the end zone on three straight possessions for a 21-6 halftime lead.
The season that began with Coach Mike Ditka promising a trip to the Super Bowl has fallen apart in three straight losses, as the Saints have been outscored, 119-47.
Jeff Blake tied his career high with four touchdown passes as host Cincinnati, the worst team of the 90's, reveled in its best offensive game in 10 years, beating San Francisco.

Darrow converted 7-of-16 shot attempts from the field and 3-of-6 at the free-throw line. He also grabbed six rebounds, dished out three assists and posted two steals. Senior Wes Nordquist, who posted a double-double on Friday, followed with 13 points and eight rebounds. Senior Troy Ticknor nailed a pair of three's and sank all four of his free-throw attempts to chime in with 10 points, as did freshman Nick Clark, who made 4-of-5 from the field, including 2-of-3 from down town.
Sophomore Alex Savage matched his career-high with six assists, while fellow sophomore Brett Heitkamp posted a career-high eight rebounds, defensively.
As a team, the Beavers bounced back nicely after Friday's rough shooting night, and shot 51.7 percent overall, including 6-of-10 from long range. It did struggle at the charity stripe, however, converting only 10-of-21 attempts.
Buena Vista shot out of the gate as Ticknor buried a three-pointer to give the Beavers their largest lead of the contest (20-2) with eight minutes gone by. CUW did rally back, using a 23-9 run over the next 10 minutes to get within four.
Greg Sibenaller made 1-of-2 free-throw attempts and added a lay-up with a minute to play in the first half to push the advantage to 32-25 at the half.
Darrow's bucket early in the second half gave BVU an 11-point lead at 44-33, but CUW again fought back within two at 51-49 with a little more than 11 minutes to play.
BVU continued to lead 65-61 with just over five minutes to play before the Beavers got buckets from Clark and Nordquist to go back up by nine at 70-61 with under three minutes left on the clock.
Clark's lay-up near the one-minute mark then put the team back up by double-digits, and CUW was unable to get any closer than eight from there.
Buena Vista held CUW to 42 percent shooting and only 11 free-throw attempts.
On Friday, Nordquist turned in a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds, while Ticknor added nine points and three assists, but it wasn't quite enough as Carthage College used a 16-6 run over the final five minutes to get past the Beavers, 63-56, in the first semifinal game of the Johnson Bank Tip-off Classic on Friday night, hosted by Carroll University. The game was the season-opener for both teams.
With the win, BVU evens its record at 1-1 and will now travel to Bethel University on Tuesday night for a JV/V doubleheader against the Royals.
The junior varsity contest is scheduled to start at 5:30pm with the varsity set to follow up at 7:30pm.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by satisfiedcustomer Product is fantastic However the salesperson who served me Petra was even better. She asked if I needed any help, listened to me and I came away with 2 shirts. I had previously came into the store on at least 5 occasions and left buying nothing. I currently get my shirts made but your slim fits fit me!!!!!!!!!ANDREA SHOULD DO YOUR TRAINING. I am afraid I will only go to your Jermyn street shop on Wednesday and Thursday when Petra is working. I am probably not the only customer to do so. To increase sales at your store you do not need more staff just more like Petra 05 June 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by burnig Great looking shirt I really like this shirt, looks fantastic with my brown check sports jacket Smart, comfortable. Same issue I have with most Pink shirts, no sleeve length choice 13 March 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by burnig Great white shirt! Usual standard Thomas Pink shirt but I do have 2 gripes. 1..sleeve length, 16 inch collar has 35 inch sleeves, to fit I need to have them taken up, which costs £25 a time. Why isn't there a long medium short sleeve length? When I buy shirts in the US I more often than not have a choice of sleeve lengths. 2. Collar bones, very cheap versions used in all Pink shirts, this is the same as all of the shirts I buy from other makers, but this is a premium brand. I buy a pack of collar bones from Pink and replace, but that's another £15...I would like to see Pink give us better quality bones as standard. A customer enhancing experience. As I say this is just a personal gripe, the shirt is quality and I feel good wearing it. 13 March 2014

Rated 1 out of 5 by Andy7777 Collar size too small for a 15 and half Very impressed with the quality of the shirt, cut and style - also with the reasonably priced tailoring services. However, either I have suddenly developed jowels or the 15 and half collar is incorrect - too small by half an inch. I nearly passed out the first time I wore it. Sorry, but expect better for an £80 shirt. 31 May 2013

The Effects of Jackpots on Responding and Choice in Two Domestic Dogs
Date: May 2010
Creator: Muir, Kristy Lynn
Description: The current study investigated the impact of delivering a jackpot on response rate and response allocation in two domestic dogs. For the purpose of this research, a jackpot was defined as a one-time, within-session increase in the magnitude of reinforcement. Two experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of delivering a jackpot in both single-operant and concurrent schedule procedures. Experiment 1 investigated the impact of a one-time, within-session increase in the magnitude of reinforcement on response rate in a single-operant procedure. Results of Experiment 1 showed no clear change in response rate after the delivery of the jackpot. Experiment 2 investigated the impact of a one-time, within-session increase in the magnitude of reinforcement on response allocation in a concurrent schedule procedure. Results of Experiment 2 showed an increase in response allocation to the jackpotted contingency in both subjects. These results suggest that a jackpot, as defined here, has no effect in single-operant procedures while having an effect in concurrent schedule procedures. These effects are similar to those reported in the magnitude of reinforcement literature.

The Effects of Model Prompts on Joint Attention Initiations in Children with Autism
Date: December 2014
Creator: James-Kelly, Kimberly L
Description: The general purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effects of minimally intrusive prompting procedures and preferred stimuli on protodeclarative joint attention initiations in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Two boys and one girl diagnosed with ASD participated. The experimenter provided attention and social interaction following protodeclarative initiations throughout all phases of the study. During intervention, a model prompt was delivered every 30 s if the participant failed to initiate a bid for joint attention. Results for the first participant show that a model prompt was sufficient to increase the rate of protodeclarative initiations across stimulus sets. Generalization was seen across sets, but not across environments. Subsequently, the model prompt was sufficient to increase the rate of protodeclarative initiations across sets in a second setting (classroom). Results for the second participant are inconclusive. Data collected during the initial baseline condition show that she engaged in an incompatible verbal response across sets. When pictorial stimuli depicting highinterest items and activities were introduced, the rate of protodeclarative initiations increased over time. We then returned to original baseline condition and saw an initial decrease, followed by a steady increase in the rate of protodeclarative initiations. The third participant withdrew ...

The Effects of Price and Durability on Individual Discounting Functions When Purchasing Hypothetical Goods in a Simulated Internet Store
Date: August 2012
Creator: Gesick, Jeffrey Glen
Description: Online shopping has rapidly expanded in the last decade. Online shopping necessarily imposes delays on all transactions. Behavior analysis has long studied the effects of delay on choice. Additionally, a number of researchers are beginning to study consumer behavior using a behavior-analytic approach. The current study attempted to extend research focusing on consumer behavior in online contexts. The experimenters attempted to evaluate whether goods acquire functional properties and whether these properties influence consumer choice. The researchers were specifically interested in studying acquisition costs and durability and in simulating a natural online shopping environment. Results from the current study extend the findings showing that delay and price influence choice. The data from the current study provide mixed evidence for control by item durability.

Effects of Reinforcer Magnitude on a Fixed Time Food Delivery Treatment of Pica
Date: August 2010
Creator: Lyon, Nathan Scott
Description: The purpose of the current study was to examine the effects of using fixed time schedules with different magnitudes of stimulus delivery as treatment for pica. A functional assessment was conducted, which indicated that pica occurred across experimental conditions and was most frequent in the absence of social stimulation or contingencies. A competing stimulus assessment was then conducted to identify stimuli that could potentially compete with pica during NCR. Subsequently, an evaluation of the effects of reinforcer magnitude on NCR as a treatment of pica was conducted. Treatment results indicated that quantity of reinforcer increased the effectiveness of leaner schedules of reinforcer delivery; however, it was not possible to fade the temporal schedule to one that would have been useful in practice. In addition, limitations and future research are outlined.

The Effects of Sucrose on Ethanol Consumption in Ethanol Naïve and Non-naïve Rats
Date: May 2014
Creator: Dove, Rachel Jolene
Description: Sucrose fading and intermittent access are two common procedures that induce alcohol consumption in rodents. Sucrose fading procedures involve exposing ethanol naïve rats to a mixture of ethanol and sucrose and gradually reducing the concentration of sugar. Intermittent access procedures involve providing rats with access to ethanol on alternating days. Given that rats will consume ethanol without sucrose, the role of sugar in the sucrose fading procedure is unclear. Rats must be ethanol naïve when they are exposed to treatment with sucrose fading, so there is no point of comparison to show that exposure to sugar in sucrose fading produces higher levels of drinking. There has yet to be any work that isolates the effects of sugar on the consumption of alcohol. The purpose of the present experiment was to examine the effects of sucrose on ethanol consumption in rats with different alcohol histories. Two groups of six rats were exposed to two successive sucrose fading procedures, 30 days apart and their drinking was measured 30 days after each one. One group was exposed to an intermittent access procedure to establish drinking prior to treatment with sucrose fading, the other was ethanol naïve. Following sucrose fading, all rats drank pharmacologically ...

The Effects of Textual Fluency on the Rate of Acquisition and Application of Intraverbal Relations
Date: May 2012
Creator: Shrontz, Rachael E.
Description: Intraverbal behavior governs core elements of academic and intellectual behavior. These intraverbal relations can be explicitly taught when an individual is prompted to provide an appropriate response with pictures, text, or other stimuli following a verbal stimulus. It is possible that a focus on fluency of the target repertoires may lead to more conclusive data. the current study assessed the effects of precision teaching based instruction for component textual repertoires on the acquisition of intraverbal relations. Specifically, this study compared the effectiveness of two textual prompting procedures (with and without fluency-based instruction) on the acquisition and application of intraverbal relations using time-delay and a carefully controlled set of intraverbal stimuli. Results indicate that the use of textual prompts and an errorless time-delay transfer of stimulus control procedure were effective strategies for teaching intraverbal responses regardless of the inclusion of fluency-based instruction.

The Effects of Training History on Retention and Reacquisition of Stimulus Control
Date: August 2013
Creator: Tucker, Kathryn Lynn
Description: The purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of training history on retention and re-acquisition of stimulus control of previously learned behaviors. In Phase I, two pairs of behaviors were alternately trained. Circle and touch behaviors were trained concurrently until two consecutive errorless sessions were run. Spin and down behaviors were trained together in the same manner. Probe sessions, in which all four cues were presented, were conducted each time a pair of behaviors reached this criterion. Training of one pair did not occur until the other pair had reached criterion and probe sessions were run. Despite achieving the designated criterion during training, stimulus control changed during probes. During probe sessions, errors increased under the cues that were not currently being trained. In most cases, the type of errors emitted for each cue was the same as the behavior that was trained concurrently. The number of training sessions required to reach criterion accuracy was high during the first set of sessions and decreased over the course of the experiment. In Phase II, spin and circle behaviors were trained concurrently. The number of sessions required to reach stimulus control criteria remained low, and the number of errors emitted under ...

Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Comprehensive Staff Training Package for Behavioral Interventions for Children with Autism
Date: May 2010
Creator: Weinkauf, Sara Marie
Description: The effectiveness of behavioral interventions for the treatment of young children with autism has been well documented in professional literature. The success of these procedures, however, depends on the fidelity of implementation and proper training of the therapist. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a 125-skill, comprehensive staff training package that involved a graduated sequence of teaching. In addition to changes in skills, social validity and training time were also assessed. Results indicate that correct demonstration of skills increased following training, incorrect implementation decreased, teachers rated the procedures favorably, and the total training took between 20 and 32.5 hours for over 120 skills to reach mastery criteria. A discussion of the results as well as implications for future research is also provided.

Evaluating the Effects of Public Postings on Energy Conservation Behavior at a Public University
Date: August 2011
Creator: Canisz, Eleni
Description: This study evaluated the effects of public postings on energy conservation behavior at a public university, using a multiple baseline design across three settings; bathrooms break rooms, and conference rooms. The behavior of building occupants was recorded to assess the frequency at which those individuals would turn lights off upon exiting an unoccupied room. The independent variables implemented by experimenters (light-switch plate stickers and laminated signs) had little to no effects on cumulative instances of lights turned off however, the installation of motion sensor lights produced better results. Across all conditions, lights were turned off most frequently in conference rooms (65% of observations) followed by break rooms (9% of observations), and bathrooms (3% of observations).

Evaluating the Effects of Video Modeling on the Frequency of Staff Use of Socially Embedded Consequences
Date: August 2012
Creator: Yauger, Amy Elizabeth
Description: Previous research reports that individuals working with children with autism can positively affect social behavior through the use of socially embedded consequences. There is no research on training teachers to use socially embedded consequences. The current study had three purposes: to evaluate the effects of video modeling on teachers' embedded consequences, to evaluate the addition of feedback to increase effectiveness, and to evaluate the effects of the teacher's use of socially embedded consequences on other teacher behaviors. Results indicate that video modeling alone was not sufficient in changing teacher behavior and that the addition of feedback was necessary for meaningful teacher behavior change. Additionally, the increased used of socially embedded consequences had positive effects on teacher social engagement and indices of interest. A discussion of the results and suggestions for future research is also provided.

Employee of the Month
June 10, 2015
Wendy Cauley, Account Technician II in Accounts Payable is the recipient of the June Employee Recognition Award. Wendy was nominated by Cat Yurkovich with support from Carolyn Catalano, Lori Huntley, Linda Jaworski-Moiles, Mary Rast, Pam Read, and Renee Seganfredo.
"We believe Ms. Cauley demonstrates excellence in all six categories of nomination criteria.
1.) "Demonstrates excellence in overall work performance."
Ms. Cauley is the auditor of all travel vouchers that faculty submit for reimbursement. This task must prove to be very time-consuming. However, Ms. Cauley is always happy to answer questions and is extremely punctual with her work.
2.) "Promotes positive morale through a congenial, supportive attitude and by providing service to others."|
Ms. Cauley is quite possibly the most congenial person I have met at SIUE. Her calming demeanor always leaves me with a very positive feeling after I speak with her. As a travel voucher auditor, her role is to make corrections to the travel vouchers we submit as administrators, but her manner of bringing our attention to our mistakes makes us feel better – not worse – about the job we are doing.
3.) "Puts forth an effort to improve self as well as to develop and recognize others."
As stated above, Ms. Cauley volunteered to train me (and others I have spoken to) every aspect of completing a travel voucher. Her knowledge and training have been invaluable, and continues to this day.
4.) "Exhibits initiative and creativity resulting in improved operation efficiency of the Department and/or University."
Ms. Cauley has helped me through two "emergency" situations by providing alternative solutions to my concerns, whilst still staying within University guidelines. Her demeanor and quick thinking helped to allay what otherwise would have been stressful situations and ultimately resulted in the best outcome for all parties involved.
5.) "Enhances the image of the Department and/or University."
Ms. Cauley's excellent work ethic, attention to detail, and positive attitude, make her not only an asset to her particular department, but also reflect positively on SIUE as an employee of this institution.
6.) "Exemplifies/demonstrates the SIUE values."For all reasons stated above, Wendy Cauley demonstrates the qualities and excellence of SIUE's mission."
- Cat Yurkovich, Office Support Specialist, Department of Geography

Employee of the Month
May 2015
Ethel Coleman, Assistant Program Director of Head Start/Early Head Start, is the recipient of the May Employee Recognition Award.
For nineteen years Mrs. Coleman has demonstrated the dedication, work ethic, and expertise to ensure that the health, nutritional, educational, and family support services which the SIUE Head Start/Early Head Start Program provides to children and families throughout St. Clair County are of a quality that sets the bar for all Head Start Programs. Mrs. Coleman works tirelessly to improve program services to families while developing program staff; her invaluable mentorship and leadership during the annual program assessment, community assessment and strategic goal-setting process is instrumental in establishing SIUE Head Start as a highly regarded program locally as well as nationally.
Through Mrs. Coleman's leadership, SIUE Head Start has received numerous state, regional and national awards and recognitions received by staff as well as parents. External honors the program has recently received through her leadership include the following:
This year, the first Head Start Center in Illinois to receive the Governor's "gold circle of quality" rating was an SIUE Head Start Collaboration site – this is the area where Mrs. Coleman has direct oversight – this would not have been possible without Mrs. Coleman's relentless pursuit of quality and collaboration.
Despite all of this responsibility and high-stakes challenges, Mrs. Coleman maintains a collected and positive attitude that models a can-do tone for the rest of the program. Mrs. Coleman represents the University and the SIUE Head Start/Early Head Start Program with poise and professionalism and is highly respected within the program and throughout the community. At state and national conferences, SIUE Head Start is universally recognized as a leader in Head Start effectiveness and quality – this would not be possible without Mrs. Coleman's contributions. I state with confidence that the SIUE Head Start/Early Head Start Program would not be the acknowledged program of quality that it currently is without the contributions of Mrs. Ethel Coleman.
- G. Lynnie Bailey, Director, SIUE Head Start/Early Head Start Program
I am honored to be chosen as SIUE Employee of the Month. It is a pleasure to be a part of the SIUE community and the Head Start family. I am thankful to have such a wonderful group of caring kind committed people with which to work. I am grateful for the many opportunities to grow and learn and then share with center coordinators, teachers, community workers, home visitors, and all Head Start staff over the years. SIUE Head Start/Early Head Start is like a second home to me, and it means so very much to know that my work has made a difference to those around me. My sincere thanks are extended to Mrs. Lynnie Bailey for nominating me, to the Head Start administrative team for supporting the nomination, and to everyone at the East St. Louis Center for congratulating me. Thank you again for creating a work environment suited just for me.
-Ethel Coleman, Assistant Program Director, SIUE Head Start/Early Head Start Program

Employee of the Month
April 2015
Ryan Woodson, Building Service Worker in Campus Recreation, is the recipient of the April Employee Recognition Award. Ryan was nominated by Fred Thompson, Facilities Coordinator in Campus Recreation.
Ryan Woodson has exhibited exceptional work performance. He manages to effectively maintain his assigned areas and responsibilities. In addition, he has had to shoulder areas assigned to his fellow workers while they have been on vacation or other extended leaves off absence. On a couple of occasions for long periods of time, he has covered two-thirds of the facility and has been very effective in keeping the high standards we have grown to expect from our Building Service Worker team. During those long stints of working shorthanded, Ryan has kept his same positive demeanor, took the extra work in stride, and was never heard uttering a negative word or showing a negative attitude.
Ryan always has a 'can do' attitude and fosters a fantastic rapport with others. He is always cordial and engaging with staff, students, members, guests and Facilities Management co-workers. He is also responsible for the area of the building that serves as the venue for internal and external customers' Special Events. He is an integral part of keeping the building in a presentable state when parents, students, future students, members of the Student Fitness Center, and guests enter. Participants of the Student Fitness Center often comment on how nice the building looks and the cleanliness of the facility; which is also supported by the Department's 2014 User Satisfaction Survey responses in which our building received a 97.1% approval rating for the cleanliness of the building. Ryan's dedication to his position contributes greatly to our goal and motto here in Campus Recreation, which is to maintain 'the cleanest building on Campus'.
Concurrent with Ryan's strong work performance, he has also continued to be a part-time student; taking one or two classes each semester to progress toward his bachelor's degree. Ryan demonstrates great work ethic and integrity with very little supervision; and his performance demonstrates both excellence and personal development.
- Fred Thompson, Facilities Coordinator in Campus Recreation
Thank you to the entire CREC staff. I appreciate the honor very much…GO COUGARS.
- Ryan Woodson, Building Service Manager, Campus Recreation
Please join us in congratulating Ryan Woodson as the Employee of the Month on Tuesday, April 21th at 4:30 pm in the Student Fitness Center, Room 1527.

Melanie Schoenborn, Bindery Manager in Library and Information Services (LIS), is the recipient of the March Employee Recognition Award. Melanie was nominated by Lynnette Fields, Director of Technical Services in Library and Information Services.
"Melanie has been with the University since 1987, and embodies all the qualities that make an outstanding SIUE employee. She has an extremely strong work ethic, is conscientious, an excellent team member, and has been an integral part of LIS for the past 27 years. In her capacity as the Bindery Manager, Melanie has supervised many student and graduate assistants over the years. Her caring support and careful mentoring have started many of these students on the way to professional and personal success. She is also a wonderful supporter of international students, not only assisting them with their studies and work, but also in their personal lives. Many of her former students keep in touch years after they graduate. Melanie has not only made a tremendous impact on LIS, she has made significant contributions to the University community. She was a very active member of the Staff Senate for 16 years and chaired the Scholarship and Constitution and Bylaws committees. I can't imagine what it would be like not having Melanie in the department of LIS."Information Services.
- Lynnette Fields, Director of Technical Services, Library and Information Services

Thermal initiated conversion of N-aryl-N'-(2-benzylpyridinium)thioureates into 2-arylamino-4H-benzo[d][1,3]thiazines was studied by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) in the solid-state. The values of molar reaction ethalpies (DHr) of six derivatives of thioureates and the melting parameters (Tf, DHf, DSf) of the obtained products - benzothiazines were determined by the DSC method.

The thermal stability of gelatine-polyacrylonitrile graft copolymers fibres obtained under various conditions of deformation has been studied. The thermal properties of examined fibres depend on the synthetic component of the fibre forming material – polyacrylonitrile which appears in the form of grafted PAN chains and PAN homopolymer. It was stated that the highest thermal stability have those fibres which formation process included two stages of drawing with the use of deformation close to the maximal values, with the value of the total draw ratio amounting to 691%. It should be supposed that with such a drawing process, already in its first stage, are created advantageous conditions for the formation of paracrystalline regions to a larger extent and their orientation along the fibre axis.

In this work the solid-state characterization of anhydrous D-mannitol has been performed: α and β modifications can be distinguished only by XRPD and FTIR as they show melting temperature and enthalpy that are the same within the standard deviation. The understanding of the thermal behaviour of the δ form (obtained by re-crystallization in acetone) has required XRPD experiments performed at variable temperature. This form during heating undergoes a solid phase transition to α modification. By cooling a melted sample, under a wide range of experimental conditions, a very fast crystallization occurs. Independently of the starting crystal form (β or δ form), the re-crystallization of D-mannitol from melt always leads to α form.

The thermal decomposition behaviour of the manganese(II) complexes with glycine: Mn(gly)Cl2(H2O)2, Mn(gly)2Cl2, Mn(gly)Br2(H2O)2, Mn(gly)2Br2(H2O)2 was investigated by means of TG-DTG-DTA, Hi-Res-TA and DSC techniques. The evolved gas analysis was carried out by means of the coupled TG-FTIR system. Heating of the complexes results first in the release of water molecules. Next, the multi-stage decomposition process with degradation of glycine ligand occurs. Water, carbon dioxide and ammonia were detected in the gaseous products of the complexes decomposition. The temperature of NH3 evolution from the complexes is higher than from free glycine. The final residue in the air atmosphere is Mn2O3 which transforms into Mn3O4 at 930°C. In a nitrogen atmosphere, the complexes decompose into MnO.

The oxidation of pure and recycled polyethylene samples was studied by thermal analysis (DTA-TG-DSC): presence of two exothermic peaks and mass loss. The thermo-oxidation products, containing C-O and C=O links, were identified by IR spectrometry and GC-MS spectrometry. The oxidation is easier from low to high density polyethylene.
Hösselbarth, B.; Friese, K.; Geyer, W.
Thermo-oxidative and thermo-mechanical stabilities of radiation-cured acrylates and epoxides were examined by TG, DMA and DSC.
The polymeric trifunctional acrylates PETIA, TMPTA and THEIC displayed the highest temperatures of onset of degradation. The high crosslinking density of the films resulted in an almost temperature-independent complex E-modulus, as measured by DMA. With increasing degree of ethoxylation or propoxylation of the monomers, decreases in thermal stability and strength were found. For difunctional polymeric acrylates and epoxides, the glass transition temperature was measured.
The average degree of curing of UV-cured epoxy films can be determined from the temperature of the maximum in the loss modulus (E″max.

The heat capacities of berberine sulphate [(C20H18NO4)2SO4·3H2O] were measured from 80 to 390 K by means of an automated adiabatic calorimeter. Smoothed heat capacities, HT-H298.15 and ST-S298.15 were calculated. The loss of crystalline water started at about 339.3±0.2 K, and its peak temperature was 365.8±0.6 K. The peak temperature of decomposition for berberine sulphate was at about 391.4±0.4 K by DSC curve. TG-DTG analysis of this material was carried out in temperature range from 310 to 970 K. TG and DSC curves show that there is no melting in the whole heating process.

The series of three 4-alkoxy-2-[2-hydroxy-3-(4-aryl-1-piperazinyl)propyl]-6-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyridine-1,3(2H)-diones were synthesized. The structures of all formed compounds were identified by elemental analysis, FTIR, and 1H NMR. The synthesized compounds were studied using differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis in order to determine the existence of multiple solid-state forms. Our measurements showed that the solvent, mechanical treatment, and quenching are the important factors. Two stable and one metastable modification were detected. Additionally, DFT calculations were performed.

Perovskite oxide ceramics have found wide applications in energy storage capacitors, electromechanical transducers, and infrared imaging devices due to their unique dielectric, piezoelectric, pyroelectric, and ferroelectric properties. These functional properties are intimately related to the complex displacive phase transitions that readily occur. In this study, these solid–solid phase transitions are characterized with dielectric measurements, dynamic mechanical analysis, thermomechanical analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry in an antiferroelectric lead-containing composition, Pb0.99Nb0.02[(Zr0.57Sn0.43)0.92Ti0.08]0.98O3, and in a relaxor ferrielectric lead-free composition, (Bi1/2Na1/2)0.93Ba0.07TiO3. The (Bi1/2Na1/2)0.93Ba0.07TiO3 ceramic develops strong piezoelectricity through electric field-induced phase transitions during the poling process. The combined thermal analysis techniques clearly reveal the differences in unpoled and poled ceramics.

I don't want this post to imply that parents shouldn't worry about screen time. To the contrary, I think excessive screen time is one of the biggest new risks facing children today. The evidence is very clear, children who spend excessive time glued to screens and don't as a result have sufficient time to spend in active or social play in the real world tend to suffer.
With Ada Lovelace Day upon us today (an international celebration of the achievements of women in the STEM sector), what better time to rally together and promote these inspirational figures, especially as 77% of the girls we surveyed felt that the science and technology sector lacks high-profile female role models.
In spite of most of the general public appreciating the incredible engineering that goes into AI, the technology itself doesn't have the best public image due to the constant threat it represents in sci-fi films. People really are worried that AI will one day take over the world and wipe out the human race.

With great power comes great responsibility, to your fans and loyal customers. And, boy, are Apple's fans loyal. But with such popularity comes the negative stuff too, scrutiny and criticism. Apple has tackled this well - showing integrity with a timely and detailed(ish) response. It's quite unusual for Apple to comment at all.
This week, I tried something I have not done before. Everyday, I made it a point to find five good things to think about at the end of the day... Finding five good things may not change the colour of your day but it could help you get on a less negative train of thought and maybe one day, we will be quicker to see silver linings.
Facebook's "real name" policy is in the headlines. The policy limits individuals to one account each and requires that those accounts be held under their "authentic identity." The policy has its advocates and its detractors; their opposing views neatly distil the tension between freedom of expression and privacy that is such a feature of modern life.

The Critter Place is a true sanctuary for abused and abandoned animals. Ted has devoted many years to providing these deserving animals with love, safety and excellent care. He loves these many pigs, horses, dogs, cats, birds and various other critters with all his heart and money - and it is clear they love him back. The Critter Place is amazing, and so is Ted.
...I have know Ted for about 2 years....the first time I visited " the critter place " I knew he was a good caring guy today loved his animals and too great care of them ..... I could actually write a book here but I'll try to keep it short .... Ted mentioned he to help save dogs by creating a foster center so we worked together and put that together and Ted named it " the hope foster center " Recently I wanted to save a dog named Ruger from A shelter and did my best to network him with no luck and the and it came time that the shelter had to put Ruger on the PTS list ...in the " 11 th I called Ted / and he said he would save him " ...Ted's heart is for the animals / Rigar is now safe at " the critter place " and doing well ....I support you in finding Ted Koran on Face Book
follow him daily and see how a " real dog rescue person does " dog review/ animal rescue ...Ted is an official 501-c 3 rescue / so donations made to " his animals a tax deductible ...his PayPal is firstname.lastname@example.com ... Please visit Ted Koran on FB and make a difference in an animals life ...you can also visit me on FB / I'm the only Heath Bodden on FB ....Ps/ you will enjoy the Videos that Ted puts on his page .....every person on the planet needs to have " a passion " after seeing Ted on FB your passion may become dog /animal rescue
I'D like to tell everyone out there reading this that Ted koran is an amazing man. This man cares for over 60 animals by himself, these are animals thrown away by their previous owners. His dedication an love for his animal family is touching, he gives unending love an care to each one. This man spends every dollar of his small income to feed an give vet care to all his anumals. Please people can u make a donation to help him out. It's tax deductible an it's going to a good cause. He is truly a remarkable self sacrificing person. I ask all to give up Starbucks Coffee an pay it forward to this man's sanctury. Thanku for reading.

I had the pleasure to meet Ted and the critters a couple weeks ago. He's a good man and is doing all he can to provide for the animals. Please consider a donation or even your time volunteering if you live near by.
2 people found this review helpful
The Critter Place is far above any normal animal shelter. The animals are free to roam and interact with volunteers, which makes for a very pleasant experience. Each animal is treated with such affection and love. Ted Koran shows true love and heart toward these abandoned or neglected animals and in doing so, has given them another shot at a long and happy life. I look forward to continuing my volunteer work here.

I was privileged to spend some time with Ted and the animals. You can see the love he has for each of his animals. He knows them all by name and their unique personalities. It's not a shelter where a number and a cage are assigned. The animals are free and receive love and human contact. Too bad we don't have more Ted's in the world!

It is amazing how these animals are cared for with so much love., and so little help. We can see first hand how amazing the hurt and abused animals are able to have a new lease on life and enjoy the rest of their days
2 people found this review helpful
For a long time I wanted to visit The Critter Place. Many times I private messaged Ted with questions about my cats. I live on the other end of Florida but Ted never hesitated to help me out. If he didn't have an answer he always refereed me to other cat rescues or cat people. He is always so helpful. I have followed The Critter Place on Facebook for a few years and when Karen passed away many of us mourned her passing. I was finally able to meet Ted in person a few weeks ago. He is so genuine. His passion and compassion for his animals is amazing. His love for Karen and his sorrow with her loss was impossible for him to hide. His anguish I could see in his eyes but I could see his strength through the tears he tried to hide. His love for his animals and Ted's resolve to keep his promise to Karen is very admirable. All of the animals are so well taken care of and it's amazing how he does it mostly alone. If only more men could show so much love and compassion to animals and fellow humans like Ted. I will make it a point to volunteer from now on. The time I spent with Ted and the animals has touched my heart in a strange but wonderful spiritual way. For a man of no religion his essence is like no other person I have ever met.
More Feedback
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
The only thing that needs change is to get more help for Ted
Would you volunteer for this group again?
For the time you spent, how much of an impact did you feel your work or activity had?
Did the organization use your time wisely?
Very Well
Would you recommend this group to a friend?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
