Lauren Anderson Melbourne, Fall 2011
Lauren's Posts
Cheers, Melbourne : Reflections, Lessons, and Top 10 Moments
I arrived back home five days ago, which feels more like five months. I've finally been able to claw myself out of the deep pit of dispair that is jet lag, and get to the computer to reflect on my experience, share some lessons I've learned, and list my top ten moments from the past five months.
There's No Place Like Home…
Dorothy, a young, Midwestern, redhead simply clicked her heels and left the land of Oz. And I, a young, Midwestern, redhead will be doing the same thing very soon – though leaving won't be quite as simple as clicking my heels three times.
The Time of My Life
It feels like just a few days ago when I was saying to myself, "I can't believe I only have three months left."
And here I sit, saying to myself, "I can't believe I only have three weeks left."
Heels, Hats, and Hooves: Crown Oaks Day 2011
My dream came true this past Thursday when I, along with my friends Ashley, Meg, Katie, and Cristina attended Crown Oaks Day at the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
Adventures in Studying (or, lack thereof…)
I've been complaining for a while about how I'm having a difficult time sitting down and committing myself to preparing for final assessments – whether they be papers or actual material memorizing. However, today I decided to put my procrastinating ways behind me and try and get some studying done.
How-To: Melbourne Fashion
It was something that struck me almost immediately when I arrived in Melbourne all those months ago: These people really know how to dress.
Cure for the Blues: "Yes"
These last two weeks were just what the doctor ordered: a heavy dose of fun.

Beautiful Cape Tribulation – the only place in the world where two World Heritage listings meet (the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest)

Spring Break in Oz: Queensland & Tassie
As if having Spring Break in September wasn't cool enough, Melbourne Uni gave us two weeks off! It's been a long, exciting, exhausting, and thrilling two weeks, but I'm happy to be back home in Melbourne.
Where Am I?
What a crazy past few weeks it's been! I had an academically horrendous week last week – two assignments due in one week!
Light at the End of the Tunnel
This week marks the beginning of the sixth week of classes: which means I am already halfway done with classes this semester! Woah.
Goodbye Cousin, Hello Homework
Well, it finally happened – I've become homesick. I resisted it for as long as I could, but homesickness finally hit me a few weeks ago.
A Beautiful Day in Oz
It is an absolutely beautiful day here in Melbourne today! The clouds and cold, rainy weather has finally cleared; it's near 70 degrees today (a record high) and not a cloud in the sky.
One Week Down, Nineteen To Go
I'm currently sitting in my Melbourne apartment, sipping on a vanilla flat white, and enjoying the sounds and sights of the city.

DS Domination went into beta launch on August 23rd. DS Domination is run by Roger Langille who has earned up to 7-figures in one year just selling or "dropshipping" items on eBay.
The program and course is $19.95 per month, the cost is low but the question that you are probably asking is "does this actually work"?
The answer is Yes. This isn't one of those GET RICH make millions in one night scam, it does take time and we have many people who join make $1,000 or $2,000 there very first month just following the course- how awesome is that for just a few minutes of work here and there?
The concept of DS Domination is to take items at a low price (sometimes wholesale, or just from Amazon) then markup the price so there is a little bit of profit involved, the markup could be a $5 profit, $20 profit or even more- it depends on you.
As you will see (in the video shown below) how it actually works. eBay has been in business for over 15 years. This is a rock solid program that actually does work!
Here are what others are saying about the service/product:
Selling from Amazon to eBay is the easiest. It's not the main focus and Roger clearly states that amazon is just to get started and understand the ropes – after that there are a bunch of other product sources that he goes over.
As for the DSD side – I'm obviously involved in that as well – it's ore updated training than the previous ebay one, but there are afew others things in here:
1. On the webinar last night they covered how they connect into cpa offers to provide cashflow to help source products and sell on ebay in case you don't have any funds to get going.
2. They said they have additional software coming out that currently costs $70+ per month.
I'm only involved in this as a customer. Have no intention of promoting, don't need to. There's cpa stuff, ebay sales, sales on other locations, commissions from amazon and cash back from some of the sources.

Same-sex marriage is now legal in 21 states. In a unanimous decision, a U.S. appeals court ruled Thursday that the gay marriage bans in Wisconsin and Indiana violate the U.S. Constitution. The courtroom victory comes a day after a federal judge upheld a state marriage ban in Louisiana and sends momentum back on the side of same-sex marriage advocates.
The three-judge panel of the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals all agreed in a 40-page ruling that both states failed to give adequate reasons as to why bans in both states should be upheld. The ruling states, "The only rationale that the states put forth with any conviction – that same-sex couples and their children don't need marriage because same-sex couples can't produce children, intended or unintended – is so full of holes that it cannot be taken seriously."
It only took nine days for the court to come up with a decision after oral arguments were made. The ruling saves the hundreds of same-sex marriages that took play between state bans being struck down and the appeals process. Those marriages could've been in jeopardy if the court decided to restore the bans.
In the ruling, the court also stated that same-sex couples deserved the opportunity to demonstrate how much of a value they are within the aspect of family and noted homosexuals as one of the most "stigmatized, misunderstood, and discriminated-against minorities in the history of the world."
"Not that allowing same-sex marriage will change in the short run the negative views that many Americans hold on same-sex marriage," the ruling continued. "But it will enhance the status of these marriages in the eyes of other Americans, and in the long run it may convert some of the opponents of such marriage by demonstrating that homosexual married couples are in essential respects, notably in the care of their adopted children, like other married couples."
Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen says he will appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, but there is no guarantee that the court will take on the case. The high court already has appeals court decisions striking down bans in the states of Utah, Oklahoma, and Virginia pending to go before the court in its upcoming 2014 term.

A record-breaking 100,000 people turned out for the 6th Annual Miami Beach Gay Pride Parade, which is even more than the number of residents living here, organizers say.
The parade was also the longest in the parade's history, encompassing more than 100 parade contingencies, 35 colorful floats and 2,000 participants, Pride Board Chairman Joel Stedman said today.
Grand marshals Gloria Estefan and TV Producer Kenny Ortega led off Sunday's parade, which followed along the community's famous Ocean Drive, a route marked by balloons, marching bands, and cheerleaders, tossing out beads, fans, and merchandise coupons.
Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, along with members of the Miami Beach City Commission, were among the notables on hand. Emcees Roxanne Vargas, of NBC6 and Tiffany Fantasia, Miss Miami Beach Gay Pride 2013 provided color commentary.
Celebrity judges for the "Best Float" award were Broadway Producer Richard-Jay Alexander, WSVN anchor Craig Stevens and WPLG anchor Carlos Suarez.
The parade was followed by an all-day festival featuring entertainers including legendary drag diva Elaine Lancaster, DJ's Alex Infinity and Lady Bunny, along with gender illusionist Kevin Aviance and rapper Cazell, culminating with "RuPaul's Drag Race" contestant Courtney Act who performed live. Singer Jei was among the entertainers on the Latin Stage.
The event has grown in six years from the 15,000 who turned out in 2009 to the 100,000 visitors to the latest parade, a crowd that included local residents, but also pulled in tourists from throughout South Florida and visitors from around the world.

Course overview
An honours year in psychology is useful for both those pursuing a career as a psychologist, and those preparing for postgraduate study.
During the honours year, students who have previously completed a relevant undergraduate degree learn a range of psychological assessment methods, plus get an understanding of the process of formulating psychological opinion in casework. The research and analytical skills you develop in your honours year will strengthen the quality of your research projects, and become indispensable tools in your future career.
Possible career options include work in mental and general hospitals and clinics, business and industry, education, the criminal justice system, media, marketing, sport and research. If you choose to pursue full registration as a psychologist, you may find employment in a variety of settings including clinical, forensic, organisational, educational, health, sport and many other specialist areas.
This course is recognised for registration purposes by the Psychology Board of Australia and is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC). As a graduate you will be eligible to apply for provisional registration as a psychologist and for entry to APAC accredited Master or Doctoral level training programs that lead to registration as a psychologist
Professional recognition
This course is recognised for registration purposes by the Psychology Board of Australia and is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC).
Note: This course is currently accredited as at the date of publishing.
Fees and charges
Commonwealth supported place (CSP)
Under the present legislation, a Commonwealth supported place is one for which the University receives some Government funding. Students enrolled in these places are required to contribute part of their course costs. To be eligible for a Commonwealth supported place you must be an Australian citizen, or New Zealand citizen or holder of a permanent visa who will be residing in Australia for the duration of your study.
Full-fee paying place
A full-fee paying place is one which the University does not receive any Government funding. Students enrolled in these places contribute the full cost of their course. Domestic full-fee paying places are available to Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens or holders of a permanent visa.
Fee information for all domestic students
The Commonwealth supported place (CSP) or the full fee paying annual indicative course fee shown in the table above is provided as a guide only. It has been calculated on the basis of a typical enrolment of a student undertaking the course in 2015, and reflects the cost involved in undertaking full-time study within the specified discipline. The actual fees charged by Deakin University, will depend on the individual unit discipline and may vary from the indicative course fee cited, particularly if units are chosen from a number of disciplines. The cost of each unit offered in 2016 can be viewed from the Unit Search.
The fees per unit/credit point may be otherwise subject to an annual increase due to rises in the cost of course delivery and service.
This information is provided as a guide only. No representation is made that the information provided is current or accurate. Deakin assumes no responsibility for persons relying on indicative course fee to calculate the total future cost of their course. Applicants can email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information about 2016 fees.
Study Load and unit fee
Eight credit points is considered a standard full time load for one year, which equals one Equivalent Full Time Study Load - EFTSL. You can find the unit fee, credit point and EFTSL value for each unit by looking up your units in the Handbook Unit Search.
Fee payment assistance
Australian citizens or holders of a permanent humanitarian visa, enrolling in a CSP or full-fee paying place, may be eligible for HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP respectively. For more information about HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP visit the Study Assist website.
Course rules
To complete the Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) students must attain 8 credit points.
Psychology Honours consists of two components: coursework and a thesis. The coursework component (consisting of classes and seminars) contributes 50% to the final grade of Honours awarded. Part-time students must complete the course work component in Year 1 of their course. As required by the accreditation guidelines of the Australian Psychological Society, the course work covers:
- counselling, ethical and professional skills
- research methods, and
- psychological assessment
For further details of the coursework component, see the unit description for HPS425 and HPS426.
The thesis component (see HPS427 and HPS428) contributes 50% to the final grade of honours awarded. The thesis is a write-up (current length approximately 9000 words) of an individual research project based on an original piece of empirical research. A range of types of data (qualitative, quantitative, subjective, objective) and a range of data-collection settings and methodologies can be used as the basis of the thesis component.
The thesis is submitted in two parts:
- a 4000 word literature review submitted mid-year and
- a 5000-word report on the empirical component submitted in October.
The literature review and empirical report section of the thesis typically contribute 15% and 35% respectively to the final mark for the thesis component. Both sections are marked by two independent markers.
Attendance and presentation at the annual School Fourth Year Conference is a hurdle requirement. Students enrolled in the CLOUD online mode have the option to attend or undertake an alternative assessment.

Entry requirements - general
Applications are invited from graduates holding a degree from Deakin with an approved three-year sequence in psychology or Deakin University's Graduate Diploma of Psychological Science.
Applicants must have a minimum of a mid-credit (65%) in Research Methods B or equivalent unit, and will be ranked for selection on the basis of their level-2 and level-3 Psychology core units (including Research Methods B).
There is a quota on places in the Psychology Honours program and meeting the above criteria does not guarantee acceptance into Psychology Honours. It is worth noting that the minimum mark average of Level 2 and Level 3 psychology core units (i.e. the mark 'cut-off') required for entry to Honours in recent years has been at or above 75%.
Deakin University offers admission to undergraduate courses through a number of Admission categories.
In all categories of admission, selection is based primarily on academic merit as indicated by an applicant's previous academic record.

You should be able to commit 35 hours a week to your honours degree

It was around this time last year that Walk Off the Earth started making waves with their Five Musicians, One Guitar cover of Gotye and Kimbra's soon-to-supernova hit "Somebody That I Used to Know." They may be headed for similar viral success this year with their rendition of another peaking pop smash, Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble."
Since the song is Taylor's most electronic to date, of course Walk Off the Earth decide to do the song a capella. To help out with the wub-wubbing, the group invites along the impressive beatboxer/human robot KRNFX (2x Korean and Canadian Beatbox Champ, according to his Twitter), but the entire group is dropping in one form or another by the time the song gets to its notorious dubstep chorus. (They get so into it that the room appears to be shaking at a couple points in the video, which is incredibly appropriate.)
The one complaint about the video? Singer Sarah Blackwood seems not nearly as invested in the performance as the rest of the group. C'mon, fake Taylor—the real Taylor manages to bring it every night, you can't get up a little fury for virality's sake? Not even a single headbang? Weeeeeaaaak.

Instead of finding a line for an equation, as we discussed in our previous article, we will now learn how to find an equation for a line. All we need to determine an equation for a line is to know a lien's slope and only one point through which the line passes. With this information, we are prepared to find a line for an equation. Suppose we have a slope m and a point (a, b). y - b/x - a = m. Let's pretend we're trying to find an equation for a line through the point (4, -8) with slope 5. We would write y - (-8)/x - 4 = 5. We would then write y + 8 = 5(x-4). This gives us y = 5x - 28.

It looks like the Tesla Model S car is a little faster than most had expected, after it completed a quarter mile sprint in just 12.371 seconds. The trial took place at the Palm Beach International Raceway in Florida.
After the race, the National Electric Drag Racing Association awarded the Tesla Model S with their badge for "the quickest production vehicle" in quarter mile tests. The vehicle managed to reach a 12-second average after multiple spins around the track from its 416HP electric engine.
That's not bad at all for an electric car, and even better considering a single charge will give you 350 miles of driving.

The Seagram Company announced yesterday that it will pay $285M in cash for Dole Food Company's juice business -- extending the domestic fruit beverage market share of Seagram's Tropicana brand from 13.1% to approx. 16%. "This would bring Tropicana closer to the 19.5 percent share the Coca-Cola Company holds through Minute Maid, Hi-C and other brands." The deal includes Dole's juice plants in the U.S. and Europe, as well as production agreements in Japan and China, but does not include Dole's canned pineapple juice operations (Glenn Collins, N.Y. TIMES, 1/6). HIGHER EARNINGS EXPECTED FOR COCA-COLA AND PEPSICO: "Continuing to benefit from strong U.S. sales," Coca-Cola and PepsiCo "are expected to report higher fourth-quarter earnings and gains in volume." Net income for Coca-Cola is estimated to jump 22% with an 11% gain in international volume, while PepsiCo "should report an increase in profit of about 15%." Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. "is expected to post flat results." Overall, domestic soft-drink sales are "benefiting from new packaging, such as Coke's contour bottle; discounting in supermarket aisles; and the growth of noncarbonated drinks such as teas and sports drinks" (Laurie Grossman, WALL STREET JOURNAL, 1/6).

Tony Dungy comes to Yeremiah Bell's defense
Hard to argue that the NFL doesn't discriminate against defensive players.
Call it the wussification of professional football.
These days physical plays – like a battering ram style hit – receive flags. And physical players fear lofty fines when they do their job, which is to make a jarring hit that dislodges the ball, or punishes an offensive player.
Miami Dolphins strong safety Yeremiah Bell is already on the NFL's radar for that type of play, and it's possible the Dolphins' leading tackler could receive another fine for a hit made to Kansas City receiver Dwayne Bowe during Sunday's 31-3 victory over the Chiefs.
That play apparently caught the attention of former NFL safety Rodney Harrison and former Tampa Bay and Indianapolis coach Tony Dungy, who both argued that Bell made a clean play during NBC Football America.
"What's legal? What's illegal? That's a perfect hit," Harrison asked after watching the replay of Bell's hit to Bowe. "Yeremiah Bell is taught by the coaches, as you know, Tony, to lead with your shoulder pad. He led [with the shoulder]. His helmet was to the side. Perfect hit by Bell."
Dungy, who played cornerback in the NFL, agreed with Harrison, saying Bell made a textbook hit and was confused by the laundry that appeared on the field when Bell was flagged with a personal foul for striking Bowe with force.
"I would be asking the referee right now, 'What did I do wrong?' That is textbook," Dungy said. "We've seen a lot of this. They are erring on the side of caution but it's costing teams 15 yards."
Harrison: "Hopefully he doesn't get fined."
Dungy: "Oh no, he won't. He can't on that hit."
Bell will be on the lookout for a FedEx envelop this week, and if it comes he'll likely appeal the fine.

Cryptorchidism (or undescended testes) is a condition seen in newborns when one or both of the male testes have not passed down into the scrotal sac. Thirty percent of cases are bilateral (involve both testes). Cryptorchidism is more commonly seen in premature males because the testes do not descend from the abdomen to the scrotal sac until the seventh month of fetal development.
Undescended testes may occur for several reasons. While prematurity is a leading cause, other causes may include hormonal disorders, spina bifida, retractile testes (a reflex that causes a testicle to move back and forth from the scrotum to the groin), or testicular absence.
A non-palpable testis (unable to feel upon examination) is the most common symptom of cryptorchidism. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms of cryptorchidism may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
Diagnosis of undescended testes is made based on a complete medical history and physical examination.
Undescended testes usually resolves without any intervention by the time that the infant is 6 months old. Resolution occurs as the testicles (or testes) descend from the inguinal canal (a small internal passageway that runs along the abdomen near the groin) into the scrotal sac. If the testicles (or testes) have not descended by 6 months of age, the testicles may not descend at all.
Specific treatment for undescended testes will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Treatment may include:
If cryptorchidism is not repaired, the following complications may occur as your child grows and matures:

Sept. 1, 1999
LOS ANGELES - Please excuse Drew Bennett for not celebrating too much after becoming UCLA's new starting quarterback.
The junior, who spent the last two seasons backing up the graduated Cade McNown before beating out freshman Cory Paus, has more to do than just fill big shoes. Bennett has to help a team whose national championship dreams ended with a heartbreaking 38-21 loss to Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl move on.
Bennett gets his first chance to begin erasing last season's disappointment Saturday when the No. 17 Bruins open their season at home against Boise State.
Despite McNown's departure, UCLA's offense might not miss a beat. Bennett has only thrown five passes in college, but he'll be throwing the ball to perhaps the most dangerous receiving trio in the country in Danny Farmer, Brian Poli-Dixon and Freddie Mitchell.
"It's kind of like, who are you going to cover? Try to stop one of us," Poli-Dixon said. "We've got the best corps of wide receivers in the nation."
Boise State will try and slow those receivers down, but the Broncos aren't likely to have much success. Farmer had a school-record 1,274 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in 1998 and Poli-Dixon caught 44 passes for 712 yards and 10 touchdowns. Mitchell's season was interrupted by a broken leg, but he has the look of a future star.
UCLA shouldn't have to worry about an offense that scored 476 points last season. If the Bruins want to improve upon last season's 10-2 mark, they have to concentrate on upgrading a defense that allowed 340 points.
Boise State may have trouble focusing on UCLA. The team is still mourning the death of freshman defensive tackle Paul Reyna, who died from a head injury he suffered during a scrimmage two weeks ago.
The Broncos, 7-5 last season, only began play in Division I-A in 1996. Boise State, which plays in the Big West Conference, is 0-3 against ranked opponents since then.

In my undergrad, I used to browse the aisles of the CVS right next to my apartment. At some point I'm sure the employees at CVS would verify they could in fact see me on tape and I wans't some ghostly apparition come to haunt whatever new beauty products were out on display. And it so happened that one night during an emergency run to CVS not too long ago, I chanced to haunt the aisles again. This time the employee was just bored and not as fascinated with my nightly visit but I did manage to snap up Wet 'n' Wild's fabulous blush in Mellow Wine.
Mellow Wine comes in minimalist black case with a clear cover and the brush it comes with is completely useless. However, the blush that comes inside is now one of my staples (if ones list of staples can be over 50 that is). Mellow Wine is a matte warm dusty rose with some brown in it. My expectations weren't very high when I first applied the blush, in fact I thought it would not be too pigmented. However, the pigmentation of this blush rivals quite a few high-end blushes.
My skin is currently very temperamental and can go for oil slick (my natural state of being) to extremely dry (the weather is more predictable than my skin). I did not expect a $3 blush to weather all the oily and dry climates of my skin, but I was pleasantly surprised. The blush stayed on for the entire day and there is no chalkiness to the texture either.
The one thing I did find was that the blush was powdery when I swiped my brush over it. Instead of swiping my brush I've found that patting the colour onto my brush works better. If I had paid more, I might be annoyed but for the amazing pigmentation, lasting power, and price, I think I'll deal.
This blush is a great staple for desi skintones, and would look good on lighter skintones as well as those on the darker side. If you don't mind the packaging, it's a great staple.

Getz, Robert W.
Getz, Robert W., pianist, composer, author; b. Scranton, PA, 17 October 1955. Shortly afterwards, his father Robert H. Getz (b. 1930) and mother (born Joan Evans, 1934 - 1981) moved to Philadelphia, where the family (David, b. 1958; Jeffrey, b. 1963; Pamela, b. 1965) remained.
He began writing and making experimental music tapes as a teenager. He attended the open classroom Parkway Program from 1971-1973, where he gave his first public performances. Self-taught on piano and saxophone, he presented largely improvised performances, as a solo artist and with groups, throughout the 1970s. One of these, taped for broadcast by PBS affiliate WHYY-TV, aired in 1974. Brown University presented him playing solo piano, saxophone and clarinet in 1977.
The 1980s and 90s saw him concentrate on his freelance writing, mostly about music and popular culture. At the same time, he also began to host radio programs on local college and community stations, playing an eclectic mix of styles that reflected his own wide-ranging tastes, with a special emphasis on those gray areas where genres overlapped and the newly emerging avant rock began to mix with avant jazz . His passion for writing and collecting resulted in the publication of two books on toy collecting, published by Schiffer Books in 1998 and 2001.
The dawn of a new century and his marriage in 2001 to Sheva Golkow set the stage for a renewed commitment to recording and performing. In 2001, he established Idyll Hands Recordings as an outlet for his musical p1rojects, usually consisting of performances improvised live in the studio. In 2002, he appeared at New Yorks Knitting Factory (a performance later released on disc), participated in the Sound/Shift project in Baltimore (a series of 12-hour improvisations with continuously changing personnel), world premiered an elegy for the World Trade Center disaster entitled American Ecstasy (For Unprepared Piano) at the Philadelphia Fringe Festival, and recorded a collection of duets with saxophonist Elliott Levin. 2003 saw the creation of two works intended to celebrate 70th anniversaries: Planetaria, a large-scale work written to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Philadelphias Fels Planetarium, and Recital (for Yoko Ono), a series of improvised piano performances that take place over five continuous evenings, in celebration of the conceptual artists 70th birthday. Future plans call for recordings with a piano trio, an electric group, and a collaboration with guitarist Phil Carter.
Wooden Box: Piano Improvisations Vol. 1 (2001); Live At The Knitting Factory: Knitting/Unknit (2002); Robert W. Getz/Elliott Levin Duo: Sassafras Hello (2003); Pianospeak: Piano Improvisations Vol. 2 (2003).
Unrecorded Compositions:
American Ecstasy (For Unprepared Piano) (2002); Planetaria: Or Music For Four Chambers (2003); Recital (for Yoko Ono) (2003).

In 1956 the USAF identified an urgent requirement for a nuclear-armed long-range standoff missile to allow its new B-52 bombers to penetrate increasingly sophisticated Soviet air defenses. RAND Corporation studies indicated such a missile could be developed in minimal time using existing technologies. Under project WS-131B North American was awarded a contract in October 1957 for the Hound Dog missile. This used the aerodynamic configuration of the X-10 test vehicle already flying in support of the Navaho intercontinental cruise missile program, powered by an existing Pratt & Whitney J52 turbojet engine, using inertial and stellar navigation developed for the Navaho, and carrying the existing W-28 thermonuclear warhead. This allowed the missile to go from contract award to operational use in just two years. First flight took place in April 1959, and the missile became operational in December 1959. B-52G and H bombers carried two missiles on underwing pylons. An improved version, with better star trackers, a radio altimeter for low-altitude flight, and a larger fuel tank, became operational in September 1961. The Hound Dog was considered strictly an interim weapon until the Skybolt became available, but this was canceled in 1962. The Hound Dog soldiered on until replaced by the SRAM Short Range Attack Missile in 1972-1976.
Failures: 3. Success Rate: 96.10%. First Fail Date: 1961-07-07. Last Fail Date: 1962-05-14. Launch data is: incomplete. Initial Operational Capability: 1961.

North American GAM-77-AGM-28 Hound Dog
The Hound Dog was the first fully operational standoff attack missile deployed by U.S. strategic bombers.
In 1956, the USAF decided that its new B-52 Stratofortress bombers should have the option to use nuclear armed long-range standoff missiles to avoid direct overflight of heavily defended targets. By early 1957, the project was known as Weapon System 131B. The design competition was won by North American, and in October 1957, the designation GAM-77 was allocated to the WS-131B missile. The first powered flight of an XGAM-77 Hound Dog prototype occurred in April 1959, and the first fully guided flight succeeded in August in August 1959. The GAM-77 Hound Dog production missile was declared operational with SAC in December 1959. The quick development of the GAM-77 was made possible by the use of existing technology and components. The canard-delta layout of the airframe was proven by North American's own X-10 and XSM-64 Navaho vehicles, and the Pratt & Whitney J52 engine and W-28 thermonuclear warhead were also no new developments.
The GAM-77 was a turbo-jet powered air-launched cruise missile deployed by B-52G-H Stratofortress bombers, which could carry two missiles on underwing pylons. It used an inertial guidance system, whose data was continuously updated until immediately before launch by Kollsman KS-120 astro-trackers mounted in the launch pylons. The missile's navigation system could even be used by the B-52 crew, should the bomber's own system fail. The Hound Dog could fly high- and low-level missions, including pre-programmed changes in course and altitude. Maximum range for pure high-altitude flights was about 1100 km (700 miles).
The initial operational tests exposed some shortcomings, which led to the development of the improved GAM-77A version. In this version, the KS-120 astro-trackers were replaced by improved Kollsman KS-140 units, which were located in the missile. The GAM-77A also featured a radar altimeter to improve low-level performance, and a slightly larger fuel tank. The first XGAM-77A flew in June 1961, and the GAM-77A became operational in September that year.
In June 1963, the GAM-77 and GAM-77A were redesignated as AGM-28A and AGM-28B, respectively.
It was originally planned to replace Hound Dog in the mid-1960s by the AGM-48 Skybolt ALBM (Air-Launched Ballistic Missile), but the latter was cancelled in 1962. Therefore the AGM-28 remained in service until the 1970s, much longer than anticipated. Tests occurred with a TERCOM (Terrain Contour Matching) guidance system in 1971, and an anti-radiation seeker head in 1973. These features were not incorporated in any operational Hound Dogs, although the designation AGM-28C was reportedly reserved for a TERCOM-equipped Hound Dog. Beginning in 1972 the Hound Dog was replaced by the AGM-69 SRAM, and in 1976 the last AGM-28 was retired from USAF service. Between 1959 and 1963, North American had built more than 700 Hound Dog missiles, with a peak deployment level of about 600 in 1963.Specifications

This study investigated different facets of moral development in bullies, victims, and bully-victims among Swiss adolescents. Extending previous research, we focused on both bullying and victimization in relation to adolescents' morally disengaged and morally responsible reasoning as well as moral emotion attributions. A total of 516 adolescents aged 12–18 (57% females) reported the frequency of involvement in bullying and victimization. Participants were categorized as bullies (14.3%), bully-victims (3.9%), and victims (9.7%). Moral judgment, moral justifications, and emotion attributions to a hypothetical perpetrator of a moral transgression (relational aggression) were assessed. Bullies showed more morally disengaged reasoning than non-involved students. Bully-victims more frequently indicated that violating moral rules is right. Victims produced more victim-oriented justifications (i.e., more empathy) but fewer moral rules. Among victims, the frequency of morally responsible justifications decreased and the frequency of deviant rules increased with age. The findings are discussed from an integrative moral developmental perspective.

College Hockey:Niagara Holds On For Tie With Wayne State
Bonk Stars In Net For Purple Eagles
DETROIT — Despite the absence of junior captain and leading scorer Joe Tallari, and senior defenseman Andrew Nahirniak, Niagara tied its third conference game Friday evening at the Great Lakes Sports Arena, 2-2.
Goaltender Rob Bonk was the story of the night, making a total of 46 saves to earn his first his tie of the year and moving the Purple Eagles to 6-2-3 in conference play.
It only took seven seconds for the Purple Eagles to get on the board. Directly off the drop of the puck the Purple Eagles started the attack, with Chris Welch taking the initial shot and Justin Cross following in burying the rebound just past Wayne State goalie David Guerrera into the back of the net to put the Purple Eagles up 1-0.
Wayne State tied the game at one with 5:30 remaining in the first, when John Brink tapped in a loose puck in the crease that Rob Bonk thought he had covered under his glove.
Niagara regained the lead late in the second period with 3:58 remaining as Jason Williamson found the back of the net on the goal mouth scramble for his third goal of the season giving the Purple Eagles a 2-1 lead.
After going 15 minutes and 32 seconds without a goal scored, Wayne State got the tying goal just 39 seconds after the Purple Eagles went ahead 2-1. Wayne State's Jason Durbin was credited with the four-on-four goal, making it 2-2 heading into the third period of play.
The two teams had their fair share of chances to go ahead in the third however neither team could bang one home, sending the game to overtime. Heading into overtime shots on goal were 47-30 in favor of Wayne State.
Overtime would prove nothing Friday evening.
"The good thing this evening was we kept Wayne State power play off the board, one of the best in the league," said Niagara coach Dave Burkholder.
Bonk, a Michigan native, made several outstanding saves throughout the game to keep his team in contention.
"Rob played great tonight and we are going to need that down the stretch," said Burkholder.
Niagara and Wayne State appear Saturday evening at 7:05 p.m. for the second game of the weekend series. The game will be played at the Compuware Sports Arena in Plymouth, Mich.

(a review of important weather features around the world)
Dundee University
Caught between a strong Madden-Julian Oscillation signal over the Maritime Continent and an equatorial breach/ITCZ blow-up in Africa, a mostly warmer and drier trend is noted over South Asia. Moisture is flowing from the Rift Valley into a storm over the Caspian Sea, affording the chance for thunderstorms and good air ventilation over Iran and the Gulf States. Cold conditions remain across Russia into Mongolia.
Digital Typhoon
Note that the MJO signal, while strong, is oriented almost exclusively into the Southern Hemisphere (with Cyclone Sandra northeast of Australia). The westerlies are active from mainland Asia and the PRC to two storms below the Aleutian Islands, but no real connection is seen with the tropics. Hence a largely progressive (mild and occasionally stormy) pattern is likely for North America in coming weeks.
With the wide array of tropical moisture and cyclonic energy over the central and eastern Pacific Ocean, there is no blocking signal evident over northwestern North America. The Kona Low complex nearing Hawaii is forecast to remain stationary, with ridging likely to build across the West through the medium range. In time, energy from that feature may combine with the northern stream and provoke a colder, wetter response over the West Coast and Intermountain Region, but probably not until the longer term.
The huge storm and Norlun trough which brought impressive late-season snows to portions of Appalachia and the Northeast is still visible over the northern Atlantic Ocean. Eventually this feature will follow a similar disturbance into the British Isles with heavy precipitation and strong winds. A more complex disturbance in the High Plains is shown to interact with a subtropical jet stream from Mexico into Florida. Note that convection seems to be quieting down over South America, but tropical waves are still progressing westward through the equatorial Atlantic Ocean into Brazil and through Colombia and Venezuela.
I am showing this air mass spectrum infrared image for the reason that you can clearly see the equatorial breach of the ITCZ over central and eastern Africa, and can also make out progressive tropical waves lurching westbound from the broad convective burst in the Congo Basin and Niger River delta. The strong progressive jet stream continues to deliver cold parcels and powerful storms into Europe and into the Caucasus, but these air masses are transient with quick recovery in the strong March sun angle.

Storm Brings Severe Weather Threat To South Central U.S. And Wet Snow To Part Of Great Plains, Upper Midwest
University Of Wisconsin Weather Server
Plymouth State University Weather Server (2)
There have been more impressive storms over the past few months, but the low pressure and complex frontal structure moving out of the Texas/Oklahoma Panhandle Region will be notable in more than a few ways. One, this system will feature a rain to heavy wet snow scenario from the Front Range into the lower Missouri Valley on Sunday, with a brief surge of colder air through the Great Plains. Secondly, strong to severe thunderstorms are possible from MO southward into LA. The air mass in the warm sector is not likely to be very unstable, but the impressive upper dynamics should help to trigger heavy rain and cases for microbursts and hail from the Mississippi Valley into the Eastern Seaboard through Tuesday. Note also that this disturbance will be an anchor for cold advection in much of the eastern U.S. by the middle of the new week.
Building Ridge Complex Should Return Warmer, Drier Weather To The West
Many residents of the western half of the nation (especially California and the Desert Regions) have suffered through a chilly winter dotted with storms bringing snow to unusual locations (Arizona) along with strong to severe thunderstorms. That is about to change for the next week or so, as pronounced ridging seems likely to set up from the West Coast to the Continental Divide. Much warmer temperatures, along with clear skies, can be expected outside of the Pacific Northwest (which may be close to the storm sequence nudging eastward from the Aleutian Islands) through March 19.

As many of you know, DirectX 10 is set to be the new standard for PC gaming over the next 6-12 months, but what exactly does the transition to this new API bring us over DX 9? The folks over at LegitReviews have looked into it for us, also comparing screenshots of Age Of Conan in both DX9 and 10 modes to give you a clearer view of the improvements.
By now, we've all been beaten to death with DirectX this, DirectX that. What does it all mean??! Today we try to shed a bit of light into the subject of DirectX 10 vs. DirectX 9 and what impact gamers will see. This is by no means a comprehensive article, we're just touching on a few of the highlights and showing some screen shots from Age of Conan.

A few capabilities of the latest Lexus Advanced Pre-Collision System: enhanced pedestrian detection and automatically braking to a stop—from speeds up to 23 mph—before a collision.
10/03/2012—Years ago, whenever I went on long fishing trips with my friend Chris, we had a rule for the drive home—nobody gets to sleep. At the end of a long day, we wanted all eyes scanning the road for hazards. Sure enough, one day I spotted a big deer springing onto the highway, and my warning cry gave Chris, at the wheel, the extra split second he needed to avoid it.
Close call.
The Advanced Pre-Collision System (APCS) with Collision Avoidance Assist[1], available with the new 2013 LS, is kind of like having an alert buddy with you—except of course, this buddy is equipped with super-sophisticated things like millimeter radar and near-infrared rays.
In short, it's one of the most advanced automotive safety systems available.
We've talked about Lexus Pre-Collision and Advanced Pre-Collision systems before, available in the previous generation LS and other models. But this latest Advanced Pre-Collision System with Collision Avoidance Assist is designed to do some cool new stuff.
But before we get into that, here's a quick APCS primer.
In a nutshell, when activated, APCS constantly scans for hazards ahead while the vehicle is in motion. It does this using milliwave radar, which is emitted from behind the Lexus badge, plus a stereo camera that's integrated into the rear-view mirror.
The system scans beyond the range of the low-beam headlights, meaning the APCS-equipped Lexus models have the potential to recognize a hazard at night before a fully alert driver can see it.
And while APCS is scanning the road ahead, another system, the optional Driver Attention Monitor, is monitoring the direction the driver is facing to confirm that you're facing forward. (New to the 2013 LS, the Driver Attention Monitor also monitors your eyelids.)
In the event of a hazard in your path, a whole lot of different things happen very fast. Right away, the APCS computer calculates the LS's speed and closing ratio. Meanwhile, the Driver Attention Monitor is calculating the driver's status: Are your eyes fully open? Have you turned to face your buddy to reemphasize the size of that huge rainbow trout you caught earlier?
In both situations, the system will flash a warning light and sound an alarm; if that doesn't get your attention, the Collision Avoidance System is designed to actually apply the brakes.
The purpose of applying the brakes is two-fold: to get the driver's attention so that further evasive action can hopefully be taken, and also to help mitigate the effects of a potential collision. As part of its capabilities, this newly available APCS feature is designed to bring the 2013 LS to a complete stop at speeds below 24 miles per hour.
Another enhancement for the 2013 LS is that the system not only recognizes other vehicles but pedestrians as well, thanks to two stereo cameras facing outward. It's also noteworthy that the system works day or night—many similar systems in non-Lexus vehicles are designed only for daytime operation.
So about those worst-case scenarios, where the vehicle is really, really coming up on something, and a collision is unavoidable?
Here, the passive safety features of the Advanced Pre-Collision System come into play. To help give the driver an added advantage, APCS pressurizes the Brake Assist, so that once the driver applies the brake, it will deliver extra braking power.
Also, to help protect the driver and front passenger, when APCS detects that an unavoidable frontal collision is imminent, it retracts the front seatbelts. On vehicles equipped with Adaptive Variable Suspension or Air Suspension, it also stiffens the front suspension to help prevent a nose dive from sudden braking, which in turn helps the driver keep control.

Legal Disclaimers
[1] The Advanced Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. The included Driver Attention Monitor is designed to alert the driver if a potential hazard is detected ahead and the driver's face appears to be turned away. They are not collision-avoidance systems and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on many factors. Please see your owner's manual for further information.
Vehicle may show optional equipment.

I tried to ask a question normally once in here but nobody understands what I want to ask. So I've found example in PHP.
// $_POST = array('address' => '123', 'name' => 'John Doe');
echo $address;
echo $name
is there's a function like extract() in PYTHON?????
So the same goes to dictionary:
mydict = {'raw':'data', 'code': 500}
// some magic to extract raw and code as vars
print raw
p.s. why I want to do this: when you're in class method, it's damned hard to have 6 manipulation with strings in join() and format() when string is self.data['raw']['code'] (assume it's dict in dict in here)
