text: Medals of Honor A new book chronicles American military history through 150 pieces of regalia. Author Judith Price highlights a few glittering tales of war, peace and precious metal. Updated Nov. 4, 2011 12:45 p.m. ET fullscreen Group of 13 Medal Miniatures worn by Yeo-Thomas | Maker unknown | United Kingdom, c. 1950 | Metal (nonspecific), textile | Among the most famous resistance fighters during World War II was Lieutenant Yeo-Thomas, A British Special Operations Executive, whose code name was "White Rabbit." The medal on the extreme right, the US version of the Allied Victory Medal, 1919, reflects Thomas' earliest adventures, when in 1917 he enlisted in Paris for the US army under a false name and age (he was only 16 at the time). On his last mission, in WWII, the Gestapo finally captured him. Thomas never gave the names of his resistance friends and managed to organize a mass breakout in April 1945, leading 10 POWS to American lines. After the war he was an important witness at the Nuremburg War Trials as he identified many officials associated with Buchenwald death camp. Imperial War Museum … General George S. Patton, Jr. Model 1873 Single-Action Army Revolver, .45 caliber | Colt Patent Firearms Company | Connecticut, 1916 | Nickel-plated, ivory grips Patton Museum of Cavalry and Armor … Civil War Badge 14TH Corps, 1ST Div. | United States, 1861–1865 | Silver | Known as the bloodiest conflict in American history, over 600,000 soldiers were killed in the Civil War. Today soldiers wear dog tags to identify themselves in the case of casualty; but during the Civil War, many didn't even have uniforms. In order for a Corps to forge a unique identity, members wore badges such as these, affixed to hats. Badges were originally made of pieces of cloth and later created from bone or flattened bullets. The American Numismatic Society … Diamond Eagle Pin | Maker unknown | United States, c. 1812–1820 | Gold, silver, diamonds | The War of 1812 not only produced our national anthem, but also, this precious memory. According to famed jeweler A La Vieille Russie, this pin, created by an English jeweler working in America, expresses Britain's intense disaffection with the United States. Symbolically, the American eagle is grasping arrows in both claws instead of an olive branch. A La Vieille Russie … Service Flag Badge | Maker unknown | United States, c. 1940s | White gold, diamonds, rubies, sapphire | created in gold and diamonds, rubies and sapphires, was presented by the American friends of the Victoria and Albert Museum. Victoria and Albert Museum … Arc de Triomphe Brooch | Cartier | Paris, 1919 | Gold, platinum, diamonds, sapphire, rubies, emeralds, topazes, onyx | There is little jewelry commemorating the peace following WWI, but one such masterpiece came from Cartier Paris. Entitled Arc de Triomphe Brooch, it was created with gold, platinum, diamonds, sapphire cabachons, rubies, emeralds, topazes, and onyx. The sapphire cabachons represent the helmets of the soldiers who marched down the Champs-Elysées to celebrate victory in WWI, on Bastille Day, July 14, 1919. On top of the Arc de Triomphe on this brooch, are the flags representing the allied victors of the Great War. Cartier Collection … Dog Collar and Lead, decorated with Dickin Medal; PDSA Allied Forces Mascot Medal; Star Dog of Whitehaven Medal; Red Cross Fundraising Medal | Maker unknown | United Kingdom, c. 1940–1945 | Leather, bronze, other metals | In America the Medal of Honor stands as the highest award for bravery and in Britain it's the Victoria Cross. The British also have an award for bravery among animals, known as The Dickin Medal. The Dickin Medal shown on this collar was actually awarded to Rex, an extremely heroic British dog. However, the American animal that won this award for outstanding bravery in World War II was a carrier pigeon called GI Joe. The Mayor of London honored GI Joe in 1946 for saving the lives of British soldiers in Calvi Vecchia, Italy. Apparently, the city was set to be bombed by American planes on October 18th 1943 but the mission was cancelled after GI Joe delivered the message that said the British had already captured the village. Imperial War Museum … Bracelet "Le train des restrictions" ("Restriction Train") | Boucheron | France, 1942 | Gold | During both the first and second World Wars some of the most prestigious firms created jewelry to tell a story. During World War II, Boucheron, the famous Parisian jeweler, created this 18 karat gold charm bracelet called "The Restriction Train". It symbolizes the main restrictions of sugar, wine, oil and coffee during the war and is led by an engine and three railway cars. Boucheron … Baton of Field Marechal Foch | Tiffany & Co. | United States c. 1920 | Gold, sapphires, lapis lazuli, copper, enamel | Metz, France is not only the place where Lafayette was born, but is also the place where the Germans retreated during WWI. Here, in the wake of WWI, the Knights of Columbus made Marechal Ferdinand Foche an honorary member of their organization. To mark the occasion, they commissioned Tiffany to forge this baton consisting of all American ingredients: California gold, Montana sapphires, Colorado copper, and lapis lazuli from Oregon. Each state is represented with a gold star set in the deep blue enamel of the baton. Symbolically, the golden arms of France, the U.S. and Lorraine's dual cross, and the arms of the Knights of Columbus surround the inscription, "terrible in war and gentle in peace." Musee de l'Armee … World War I Badge—2 Stars | Maker unknown | United States, c. 1942 | Base metal, celluloid, paper | On Veterans Day, every November 11th soldiers' families often hang "War Mothers Flags" in the windows of their homes. Each blue star on the flag represents a child serving or having served in the military. The British Museum … Boîte à mégots ("Cigarette Butts Box") and Boîte à sucre ("Sugar Box") | Hermès | France, 1940 | Silver plated brass | Hermes symbolized the restrictions of war in the form of these two silver boxes. One says "megots," meaning cigarette butts ,as cigarettes were never thrown away, and the other says "sucre," or "sugar" because during the war civilians carried scarce sugar with them to parties or restaurants. Collections du Conservatoire des Créations Hermès … Cigarette Case—Gift from Charles de Gaulle to Dwight D. Eisenhower | Cartier | Paris, 1945 | Gold, platinum, sapphires | The ring of five sapphire stars adorning the top of the case represents Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower's wartime rank of 5-star general. The second, etched on the inside of the lid, is the Cross of Lorraine, originally the symbol of Joan of Arc. Since Lorraine (the region borders with Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany) was annexed to Germany between 1871 and 1918 and again in 1940 through 1944, de Gaulle chose it as a symbol of French resistance.

text: News Kasich Delegates Admit Difficulty in Accepting Trump Nomination By Jo Ingles • Jul 22, 2016 KAREN KASLER / STATEHOUSE NEWS BUREAU Real estate magnate Donald Trump accepted the GOP nomination last night. But that doesn't mean the party is unified behind him. Governor John Kasich's delegates attended the convention and many of them admit they have a hard time accepting Trump. The Rolling Stones tune, "You Can't Always Get What You Want," blared throughout Quicken Loans arena as Donald Trump left the floor after being nominated by the Republican Party. Computer Problem Leaves 600 People Without a Flight Following the End of the RNC By Darielle Snipes • Jul 22, 2016 KEVIN NIEDERMIER / WKSU Things are running relatively smoothly at Cleveland Hopkins Airport as thousands of visitors head home now that the Republican National Convention is over. A computer problem caused four flights to be canceled. About 600 passengers had to find new flights after Southwest Airlines didn't have the correct airplanes in place. The airport's Interim Director Fred Szabo says other airlines tried to re-book those displaced passengers on their planes. He says it proved difficult since they were already nearly filled to capacity. Cleveland Officials Are Proud of the Job Done on the RNC By Kevin Niedermier • Jul 22, 2016 KEVIN NIEDERMIER / WKSU Cleveland officials were all smiles Friday morning as they gave their final press briefing on the Republican National Convention, which most people have deemed a big success. After major concerns about the city not being prepared, they say Cleveland has proven the naysayers wrong. WKSU's Kevin Niedermier reports on the wrap-up of the relatively trouble-free event. "Cleveland Rocks!" says Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams, echoing the famous rock anthem. Cleveland Transgender Bathroom Law Signed By Kevin Niedermier • Jul 22, 2016 KEVIN NIEDERMIER / WKSU Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson signed legislation into law today giving transgender people the right to use restrooms or showers in places with public accommodations that fit their gender identity. It changes the city's anti-discrimination ordinance that gave private business owners the right to dictate which facilities transgender people could use. Jackson says the new law is all about inclusion. Street Vendors Say RNC Sales Were Hit or Miss By Matt Richmond • Jul 22, 2016 The Republican National Convention, and the tens of thousands of visitors who came along with it, is packing up and leaving town this morning. And as Matt Richmond of Ohio Public Radio's WCPN reports, the street vendors that popped up in Downtown Cleveland found sales to be hit or miss. For Quincy, a button vendor on Euclid Avenue, near 4th Street, this wasn't a good year for buttons. He's been going to conventions for decades and he says sales at this one have not been good.

Residents of Indian Land's Legacy Park subdivision say heavy construction traffic from a neighboring development is destroying two of the community's roads.
Leslie Jamieson of Xandra Court has lived in the neighborhood for seven years and walks her dogs along Vance Baker Road twice a day.
Jamieson said since July 5, a steady stream of dump-truck traffic in and out of a new development at the end of the road has caused severe cracking along the shoulder of Vance Baker.
The mobile game that has swept the nation in the past two weeks is getting many young Lancaster residents off their couches and into the city to play.
It's called Pokémon Go.
The "augmented reality" app ties the virtual world of Pokémon to real-life landmarks around downtown Lancaster and across the country.

No matter where you are, you need some old work clothes. An old Stetson that I've been holding onto for years is ideal to shade my brow, and those Red Camel faded blue work pants and old Air Force blue dress shirt pretty much takes care of it for me.
Campers' eyes were filled with excitement and wonder Monday morning as the Lancaster County Council of the Arts started its first week of Arts and Sciences camps in Lancaster.
Being one of the largest sessions, the Lancaster camp is hosting nearly 70 participants this week at Covenant Baptist Church.
LCCA Executive Director Debbie Jaillette said the Lancaster session has 12 classes with instructors who are certified teachers and art professors.
Every time I write about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, it sounds repetitive of what we can see and hear on TV and radio. I don't think there is anything I can say that is going to inform or change someone's mind about who to vote for, because I think people have heard it all and have made their decisions based on things like family, tradition and party loyalty.
Having said this, I would like to challenge voters to consider something else in their decision process.
Philando Castile, a black man in Minnesota who was shot and killed by a 28-year-old police officer named Jeronimo Yanez during a traffic stop, was about my age.
We might have had plenty in common, or not much at all. But when details of his killing emerged, I learned of one potential similarity between us that also set us a world apart: Like Castile, I have a permit to carry a gun.
The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office will hold a hotdog fundraiser next Wednesday, July 20, for two employees who have sons with costly medical conditions.
"Both children have conditions that will require repeated and continual medical care and visits," Maj. Matt Shaw said Thursday. "The families have had to travel to medical facilities outside of local area."
One hundred years ago this week, no one here knew history-making floodwaters were barreling down from the N.C. mountains toward Lancaster County. And by the time they arrived, it was too late to warn anybody.
"The old-timers from here who witnessed it called it the greatest flood since Noah," said local historian Lindsay Pettus, explaining how three mid-July days in 1916 changed life along the Catawba River. "At the time, nobody had ever seen anything quite like it."

For The Lancaster News
Lancaster Super Speedway will host the third-annual Ralph W. "Buddy" Crook Memorial on July 16.
Known as one of the area's most popular and respected dirt racers by fans and fellow drivers alike, Crook raced in several divisions, including hobby six cylinders, four cylinders at the high-banked, half-mile dirt track for more than three decades. He died in February 2014 after a battle with cancer and the memorial race is held in his honor.
Inman's American Legion Post 45 swept Lancaster's Post 31 this week in three straight games during the second round of the S.C. American Legion Upper State baseball playoffs.
On Tuesday night in Lancaster, Inman shut down Lancaster for an 11-0 win.
Then on Wednesday, Post 45 won a two-day rain-delayed deadlocked game, 5-4, on a single by Hunter Gneisig in the bottom of the 10th inning.
Post 31 never got a chance to swing a bat in the delayed part of the contest, since Inman was the home team.

Looks like Courtney Love has dug herself a hole.
The rocker-actress was hospitalized for a possible drug overdose early Thursday morning after getting busted by Los Angeles police for allegedly trying to break into a friend's home, reports E!Online.
The 39-year-old Love was arrested and booked for investigation of being under the influence of a controlled substance when officers, responding to a burglary call, found her standing outside a home in the city's Wilshire area. Love fessed up to smashing four windows in an attempt to gain entry to the residence.
The former Hole singer was taken into custody, booked and released about 5:30 a.m. after posting $2,500 bail, the LAPD confirmed Friday.
But her misadventure didn't end there.
Less than an hour later, police and paramedics in Beverly Hills, Calif., responded to a 911 call at another home involving a woman under the influence of a narcotic. Law enforcement officials told the Los Angeles Times the woman was Love and said that she had overdosed.
The widow of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain was reportedly taken to nearby Century City Hospital, where she received treatment. No word on her condition, but given that she was no longer at the hospital by Thursday afternoon, it sounds like she recovered. Love's publicist could not be reached for comment.
Radiohead wins, then scorns British award
Radiohead made it a hat trick of wins Thursday when it won the "best act in the world today" award for the third-year running at the Q Awards in London, reports Billboard Online.
However, the band -- which performs Saturday at the Sound Advice Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Fla. -- sent a silent video message to accept the accolade, pouring scorn on award organizers Q Magazine, which called the band "miserable" in a review of its latest album, "Hail to the Thief."
The message ended, "Radiohead aren't talking to Q."
Also honored for the album was Nigel Godrich, who picked up the best producer award for his work on "Hail to the Thief."
The award for best album went to Radiohead label mate Blur for "Think Tank," one of seven EMI acts to walk off with awards. The others were The Thrills for best new act, Jane's Addiction (Icon Award), Dexy's Midnight Runners (songwriter award), Duran Duran (lifetime achievement) and Robbie Williams, whose record-breaking, sell-out shows at Knebworth in the United Kingdom won him best live act.

The export from Worpress.com and import to WordPress.org framework didn't go smoothly...it missed some post stuff and some attachments, etc. I cleaned this up with a little time and effort, but still a larger problem persists.
It grabbed most of the users (didn't grab 2 with 0 posts each). But even those it got, it failed to import their login name, instead changing it to their Nickname. Also, the passwords didn't import properly. What is going on here? Did I maybe do something wrong or is the import functionality terribly broken?

(Continued: Page 2 of 2)
Blind Spot Warning illuminates a light when an obstruction is in the vehicle's blind spot at speed. Lane Departure Warning sounds a beep when you drift across lane marker lines without using a turn signal. Intelligent Cruise Control maintains a safe following distance when cruising on the highway and Intelligent Brake Assist with Forward Crash Warning watches the road ahead for obstructions, and sounds an alert and preps the brakes when a collision is imminent.
However, tap one button on the steering wheel and these systems all switch from passive alerts to active driver aid systems. Blind-spot and lane departure warnings become intervention systems that can pull the vehicle back in line when you attempt to merge into an obstruction or drift out of your lane. Forward Crash Warning becomes Distance Control Assist.
With the Distance Control Assist system active, the accelerator pedal servo from the Eco Pedal is again called into play. If the system detects that you're approaching a vehicle ahead too quickly and have made no attempt to slow yourself, it will assume that you're not paying attention and gently remove your foot's pressure from the accelerator while applying automatic brake pressure to maintain a safe travel distance -- all the way down to a complete stop if necessary. You can force through the feedback if you really want to hit the car ahead, but I rather liked this implementation of the technology.
The Technology package also adds Adaptive Front Lighting, which steers the headlights into a bend when you turn the steering wheel, and motorized precrash seatbelts for the front seats that cinch up before a collision to hold the occupants in place.
Infotainment tech
You'll notice that the Technology package didn't add any infotainment options to the M56's feature list. That's because the sedan makes almost all of its cabin technology standard features.
Even with no option boxes checked, the M56 rolls off of the dealer's lot packing a hard-drive-based navigation system that combines Infiniti Connect with NavTraffic and NavWeather. The navigation system features crisp maps and quick searching for destinations, but I ran into a few hiccups that kept me from loving it. For starters, entering a destination simply involves too many steps. I couldn't understand why a system that is location-aware by nature required me to input my city and state for every address, rather than just returning the nearest results first. Even when using voice input for a street address, Infiniti's system put me through six to seven prompts for each destination. Additionally, while the chosen routes were usually acceptable, on a few occasions, the system seemed to send me out of my way. During one particular trip, the system asked me to drive almost an hour out of my way for a trip to avoid congestion of a bridge and wouldn't provide a shorter route until I eventually ignored the prompts and took the obvious route myself.
The NavTraffic and NavWeather systems are powered by the standard SiriusXM Satellite Radio connections and a three-month subscription is included. The Infiniti Connection service is an OnStar-like telematics system that gives drivers access to automatic collision notifications, remote door unlocking, stolen vehicle recovery, and a host of other connected features, but I mostly used the system to search the Web for navigation destinations not present in the local database. A year of complimentary Infiniti Connection service is also included with the M56 purchase. However, after the Infiniti Connect and SiriusXM trials end, the M Sedan's driver will be responsible for maintaining two separate subscriptions to keep the same level of infotainment functionality that the car rolled off of the lot with. It's a shame that all of that data can't just be piped through the single Infiniti Connection data stream.
The standard list of audio sources includes SiriusXM Satellite Radio, AM/FM radio, a single-disc CD player, USB connectivity for mass storage devices, iPods, and iPhones, and Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling and audio streaming. That's pretty much every source that we could ask for outside of HD Radio, but I don't think that anyone will lose too much sleep over that omission.
The standard audio rig is a 10-speaker Bose stereo system, but the aforementioned Sport package bumps our M56 up to a 16-speaker, 5.1 surround-sound premium Bose Surround system. Audio quality is good, but also nothing to get too excited about. I noticed quite a bit of low-end distortion in the bass and a bit of rattle coming from somewhere in the cabin even at moderate volumes.
Other standard niceties include a rearview monitor, a sonar-based rear proximity system, HID headlamps, eight-way power-adjustable front seats with heated and ventilated surfaces, and Intelligent Key entry with push-button start.
In sum
As stated earlier, the 2013 Infiniti M56 starts at $60,600. Our tester was equipped with the Technology and Sport Packages which, when added to the $895 destination charge, bump the as-tested price up to $70,195. Now that price is lower than a comparably equipped Lexus LS 460 or a BMW 550i, but I'm not sold on the value.
It's a capable car, but the M56 isn't particularly fun to drive. It's not particularly efficient either, despite the awkward Eco Pedal gimmickry. Most other automakers are moving to smaller, more efficient turbocharged V-6s for their most powerful offerings while Infiniti presses on with this big ol' V-8 for its high-tech flagship. In fact, the best parts of the M56 -- its strongest advantages -- are the safety features that are available in the Technology package. And if that's what you're interested in, I'd suggest that you take a long look at the M Hybrid and M37 and honestly ask yourself, "Do I really need 420 horsepower?"

Similarities and differences between extinction and punishment
What are the similarities and differences between extinction and punishment as behaviour-reductive strategies? Illustrate your answer with basic and applied research examples.
Applied Behaviour Analysis is the scientific appliance of behavioural principles to issues of social significance; helping psychologists to understand, and subsequently improve human behaviour. Behaviours can be measured within dimensions, frequency, duration or intensity; being observed and recorded by either the person engaging in the behaviour or others surrounding them. Consequently, this subject has helped individuals with developmental difficulties, mental illnesses, child behavioural problems and so on, proving to be a valid area in psychological research (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008).
One of the main basic behavioural principles, Reinforcement, was first studied by Thorndike (1911), illustrating that reinforcement is the process in which behaviour is increased and intensified by the immediate consequence that follows its episode. Using animals, such as cats, he found that once behaviour is strengthened, it is more likely to occur often, becoming a repetitive action. To portray this belief, Thorndike placed a food-deprived cat into a cage, however placing food outside the cage. After trying unsuccessfully to escape, the cat accidently hit a lever, opening the cage door and allowing access to the food. After repeating the experiment several more times, Thorndike discovered that every time the cat was placed into the cage, the amount of time it took to hit the lever was decreased, eventually leading to the automatic pressing of the lever and access to the food. He explained this phenomenon using the term 'Law of Effect', illustrating how the cat learned, through operant conditioning, to hit the lever due to the immediate consequence of the food (Thorndike, 1911).

However, whereas reinforcement is responsible for the acquisition of behaviour, the phenomenon called Extinction is a process which weakens this learned and operant behaviour. Extinction has been described as when a behaviour has been previously reinforced (however is no longer followed with the reinforcing stimuli), the behaviour consequence does not occur in the future. This consequently means that the behaviour has been 'extinguished'. Skinner and Ferster (1957) were two of the first psychologists to research into extinction, carrying out studies on laboratory animals, including pigeons and rats. They placed pigeons in an experimental chamber, which used operant conditioning, reinforcing them to peck a key for food. However, they found that when the bird stopped receiving food, its key-pecking behaviour stopped; illustrating extinction of the behaviour. In a separate study, they illustrated that when a rat no longer received food pellets after pressing a lever, the lever-pressing behaviour became extinguished, resulting in the rat no longer pressing the lever as it had learned the action will no longer acquire access to food (Skinner and Ferster, 1957).
As well as extinction being tested on animals, many scientists have used humans to study this behavioural principle; Williams (1959) even found that extinction could help a young boy with a behavioural problem of night-time tantrums (resistance to bed-time). After observing the child and his parent's behaviour using a reversal (A-B-A-B) design, Williams determined that the child's tantrums were being reinforced by attention from his parents. Therefore, the extinction process involved the parents simply ignoring their son when he acted disruptively at night, resulting in the extinction of his tantrums (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008).
Simarly, Hasazi and Hasazi (1972) undertook a study which led to extinction being used to correct a young child's arithmetic problems. Observing the eight-year-old boy's errors, they found that whenever he carried out a sum of addition with two-digit answers, he would reverse the digits (for example; write 41, instead of a 14) which resulted in extra help and subsequently attention from his teachers, reinforcing this behaviour. Therefore, the teacher was asked to refrain from providing attention after incorrect answers, yet give attention for correct answers (differential reinforcement), resulting in addition mistakes dramatically decreasing. This study is particularly interesting as many professionals would have diagnosed the child as having a learning disability, whereas Hasazi and Hasazi revealed that his behaviour was simply due to reinforcement via attention (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008).
Lovaas and Simmons in 1969 even found that the social consequence of attention was reinforcing self-harming behaviour. By removing the adult's attention whenever the child hit himself, dramatically reduced the frequency from 2500 hits in a one-hour session, to zero (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008).

However, whilst Lerman and Iwata (1995) researched into extinction they found that when a reinforcer is removed after a behaviour, an individual's action increases briefly in duration, intensity or frequency. For example, if an individual turns a door knob, however the door fails to open, the individual may try turning the door knob harder (increasing intensity) and more often (increasing frequency) than they normally would have done, before ultimately stopping. This theory, called an 'extinction burst' was evident in 24% of participants in previously published literature on extinction, demonstrating very significant levels.
On the other hand, prior research has proven that although extinguished behaviours were believed to have been eliminated permanently, occasionally they may arise again, especially in environments where the behaviour occurred before (Chance, 1988). This spontaneous recovery will not last very long if the reinforcement is still not in place, however if the spontaneous recovery continues and is followed by the previous reinforcement, the effect of extinction will be lost as the problem behaviour will significantly increase (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008).
Extinction can be separated into two categories; positive extinction and negative extinction, in which they differ in procedural application. This means that whether a behaviour is maintained via positive reinforcement or negative reinforcement, they are both able to get extinguished. However, there practical methods vary because, if behaviour has been positively reinforced, to get extinguished the researcher has to withhold the reinforcement that had previously been presented after the behaviour. On the other hand, if a behaviour had been negatively reinforced, the extinction of the behaviour involves the avoidance of the aversive incentive which was in place before.
Comparable to extinction, another process which weakens operant behaviour is 'punishment', which has been described as if an individual behaves in a certain way it may result in an immediate consequence which will make it less likely for them to act that way in the future. For example, if a young girl reached over a cage barrier to pet a dog, leading to the dog biting her hand, the girl would be less likely to reach over the cage again (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008). A punisher (which may also be referred to as an aversive stimulus) is therefore a consequence of an action and behaviour which decreases the probability of the behaviour being carried out again. However, unlike extinction, a punisher is only defined as the effect the consequence has on an individual's behaviour in the future, and is only described as a punisher if it decreases, or even eliminates, the same behaviour to happen again. For example, if a mother scolds her son every time he hits his twin brother, it is only a punishing act if he stops hitting his brother in the future. If not, the scolding punishment actually exhibits positive reinforcement as his disruptive act is repeated. This is one area where the behavioural applications extinction and punishment differ as punishment cannot be defined by what punishing act is applied, only by what behaviour follows. Therefore, psychologists define punishment by whether the problem behaviour increases, or decreases (as it is meant to). As well as this, because the child's behaviour may be temporarily stopped due to punishment, the adult's behaviour may, in fact, become negatively reinforced as they believe their punishing actions are effective and therefore continue every time the child misbehaves, which does not happen with extinction (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008).
On the other hand, punishment and extinction can be comparable in that there are many misconceptions about the both applications. For example, extinction may be seen as simply ignoring the problem behaviour, however this is not the case. Ignoring in this way functions as extinction only if attention is the reinforcer of this problem behaviour. Moreover, there are many misconceptions about punishment as even though the term punishment is only used in applied behaviour analysis as a consequence which decreases or eliminates certain behaviours, the general public opinion is very different. During every-day language, the term 'punishment' is used, not only used to reduce crimes, but also to apply pain and retaliation to the criminal. Punishment, therefore, may be given in a form of fine, prison-time, or even a death-sentence; far from the definition used in applied behaviour analysis. Because of this misconception, adults are more wary when psychologists use this application to help childhood problems than they would be when told about 'extinction' (Cooper et al, 1987). Perhaps this is one reason why extinction is a preferable application choice, as generally a punishment method is only carried out if other, nonaversive interventions (one of which being extinction), have been considered.

Like extinction, there are two variations of punishment; positive punishment and negative punishment. Positive punishment has been described as being when an occurring incident of a behaviour, which is followed by an application of an aversive stimulus, results in the likelihood of the behaviour not happening again. On the other hand, negative punishment has been described as being when a repeating behaviour's reinforcement gets removed ultimately resulting in the decrease of the problem behaviour. However, there is much confusion with these two definitions and positive and negative reinforcement as the definitions parallel each other, the important difference is; reinforcement strengthens behaviour yet punishment weakens it (Cooper et al, 1987).
One experiment which used positive punishment to weaken a problem behaviour was conducted by Corte, Wolf and Locke (1971) who reduced self-harming behaviour in institutionalized adolescents. Each time a subject hit themselves, a brief, non-harmful electric shock was applied, resulting in the reduction of the frequency of self-harm from approximately 400 to zero per hour. Yet, this research cannot be re-tested in recent times due to the strict ethical guidelines and moral concerns of the painful electric shock that was submitted onto participants (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008).
Additionally, positive punishment techniques were used when Sajwaj, Hibet and Agras (1974) treated a six-month old infant with a serious condition of rumination, meaning that the baby frequently regurgitated food into the mouth and then re-swallowed. Consequences of rumination include malnutrition, dehydration and even death, illustrating how much pressure was exerted on to the researchers to provide a solution. Fortunately, they found that the positive punishment technique of squirting a small amount of lemon into the infant's mouth every time she started to regurgitate, resulted in the elimination of the behaviour problem and subsequently weight gain and hydration (Sajwaj et al, 1974).
Lastly, response-blocking can be used which involves intervening in the person's behaviour, stopping them before the reinforcement occurs. This contrasts with extinction methods, as extinction can only be used after the behaviour has been reinforced. Similarly, contingent exercise is where an individual is asked to participate in an exercise which is not directly linked to the behaviour. For example, Luce et al (1980) was able to reduce aggressive and disorderly behaviour by asking children to repetitively stand up and sit down after showing the aggressive act of hitting someone. Because the consequence participants were made to carry out is unlike the behavioural act the contingent exercise method significantly differs from any extinction technique (Luce et al, 1980).
On the other hand, negative punishment can be used to weaken behaviour and can be conducted using two procedures; 'time-out of positive reinforcement' and 'response cost', both of which involve the loss of a positive reinforcing stimulus to solve problematic actions and behaviours. One of the first experiments that researched into the negative punishment procedure of time-out was conducted by Clark, Rowbury and Baer (1973) who were able to decrease disruptive behaviour in an eight-year-old year girl with Down's Syndrome, simply by removing her briefly from the reinforcing environment in which she was showing aggressive tendencies. For example, every time she acted aggressively towards her fellow pupils, she was sent, alone, to a small room for three minutes. Following this behavioural strategy, her disruptive behaviours decreased dramatically, especially as this technique also involved a loss of social reinforcement (attention) from her peers and teachers (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008).
Research into this area has indicated that there are two types of the time-out methods that may be used; non-exclusionary time-out (in which a child would still remain in the same room, for example a class room, however away from his/her friends and any reinforcing activities) and exclusionary time-out (which Clark et al used above by taking the child into a different room where reinforcers and positive stimuli are not available (Cooper et al, 1987).
Another group of researchers who studied into the time-out strategy was Plummer et al (1977) who illustrated that the context in which the negative punishment procedure of time-out is used overall influences the effectiveness of the process. They found that because time-out involves the child being removed from a reinforcing environment, time-out will not work if the 'time-in' area is aversive with no positive reinforcers. They analysed the effects of time-out on disorderly behaviour in a class-room when the learning environment involved negative reinforcement (such as instructions). Results found that in this type of situation time-out actually increased disruptive behaviour as it allowed the child to escape from the teacher's instructions (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008).
However, when using an exclusionary time-out technique, there are a number of issues which need to be met to keep this negative punishment safe and effective. Because a purpose-built room is often used it is important to keep the room safe (with no sharp objects or breakable items inside), in fact this process works best if nothing, except a chair, is in the room, as objects such as toys and so on may reduce the effectiveness due to the reinforcing activities. A one-way window may also be needed to allow surveillance of the disruptive child, without taking time out of teaching other pupils which would subsequently affect their learning. Lastly, care must be taken when escorting the child to the room, as aggressive behaviour may occur
(Cooper et al, 1987).
Additionally, a normal amount of time spent in the time-out situation can range from anything from one to ten minutes, after which the child must resume to normal activity and therefore previous positive reinforcements. However, if the child is still acting in a disruptive manner at the end of the time-out, a contingent delay may occur where the duration of time can be extended (normally from one to ten minutes) until the child is no longer acting in a bad way. This contingent delay is supported by research from Erford (1999) who found that time-out with a contingent delay is a much more effective method of negative punishment than without (Erford, 1999).
Another experiment which supports findings of the time-out procedure was conducted by Rortvedt and Miltenberg in 1994. Using exclusionary time-out with two four-year-old girls, they were able to use this negative punishment technique to reduce compliance. Both of the two girls profusely resisted their mothers requests which followed by their mother's either scolding, threatening or even pleading with their daughters. However, whenever the two girls refused to comply, Rortvedt et al told the mothers to put them into a time-out situation, away from any positive reinforcers. Additionally, when the two girls conformed to their mother's requests it was followed by praise, reinforcing their good behaviour. Contingent delay was again used in this study, as the time-out period was extended to extra ten-second intervals, until the child was quiet for at least ten seconds. Results showed that after very few time-out procedures the two girl's behaviour dramatically improved (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008).
However, there are also disadvantages of the time-out technique, for example; there may be problem behaviour which goes undetected whilst the child is in the separate room. As it is impossible to observe the disruptive child continuously without affecting other pupils, that child may carry on acting disorderly without the teacher's acknowledgement. Additionally, another criticism of this technique is the public perception of the time-out rule. From parents of children in education, questions have been raised over how ethical this situation is and if teachers have the right to send their child unsupervised into a small room in which they are not allowed to leave without the teacher's consent. Therefore, it is perhaps best to undergo other procedures when these ethical questions are raised (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008).
Another procedure of negative punishment which may be used is 'response cost' which can be defined as a removal of a particular amount of reinforcer dependent on the problem behaviour exerted. One study which used this response cost technique was by Phillips, Phillips, Fixsen and Wolf (1971) in which 'predelinquent' adolescents in a treatment program earned points (which could be traded in for stimuli such as money, snacks and privileges) when behaving in a correct manner, with no disruption, crime or violence. However, if the adolescents arrived late for their meals, the researchers used response cost, where some of their points were taken off them, as a negative punishment. Therefore, this study illustrated how response cost can eliminate bad behaviour as late arrivals for supper decreased and eventually over-time were eliminated permanently (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008).
It may be the case that these two negative punishment applications get confused with the processes involved with extinction when solving problem behaviours. However they are three separate behaviour techniques and all differ very significantly. With extinction, the reinforcing event which followed the problem behaviour is stopped. On the other hand, time-out involves access to all reinforcements removed. And lastly, response-cost is where only a specific amount of a reinforcer (however not the reinforcer of the problem behaviour) is removed (for example privileges are taken away after the individual breaks a rule) (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008).
Extinction can similarly be contrasted with punishment whilst looking at their side-effects. Whereas the extinction technique may result in an 'extinction-burst', where an individual displays an increase in intensity, duration of frequency of an act, the punishment application will not create this effect. Furthermore, a person's behaviour after punishment has taken place will not spontaneously recover, like it may with extinction. However, individuals using the punishment application may in fact take part in negative reinforcement if they start to escape or avoid the aversive stimuli. Similarly, punishment may involve an. This This is contrasted with extinction, as the individual engaging in the problem behaviour is not actually able to extinguish their behaviour themselves. On the other hand, these two weakening techniques are similar in that they both may result in the participant displaying emotional or aggressive behaviours, which is not good, especially when working with small children. However, overall it seems that the application of extinction is a much safer, as well as a more socially desirable, method of reducing problem behaviours (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008).
To conclude, there are a few similarities between the behavioural principles extinction and punishment; for example, they are both behaviour reducing strategies. However, even though they have comparisons, they are two separate techniques, with different strategies and methods. Confusion can occur specifically with extinction and negative punishment, yet extinction involves eliminating the reinforcer that was maintaining the behaviour and negative punishment involves eliminating the positive reinforcer after the behaviour. This means that, with negative punishment, the reinforcer that is removed is what the individual has previously acquired, but is not specifically the reinforcer that had previously been maintaining the behaviour. For example, if Sam interrupts his mother whilst she is reading, his disruptive behaviour is reinforced if she gives him the attention that he craved. To eliminate this troublesome behaviour an extinction application would make Sam's mother ignore his disruptive behaviour. On the other hand, a negative punishment application would involve a privilege of his to be taken off him. Therefore, these two behaviour problem techniques may both be tried in the same situation and do have the same ending effects, but generally they are both completely separate functions in which their methods of application vary significantly (pp. 101-137; cf Miltenberg. 2008).

does the job very well. with debug function - so you can see what exactly happens :)
We needed an easy way to add Tracking Events without getting in the code. We also needed the flexibility to add the Events to any Elements we wanted.
This saves us lots of time.
This plugin has been very helpful and the developers have been very helpful too. Their blog posts about Google Analytics Events have helped me a great deal.
Before I'd always have to go into the ftp and add the script to my site to set up event tracking, but this plugin has made it a breeze for me to create a new event to track and feed directly into my Google Analytics account. It is very robust for a event tracking plugin gives you a lot of control without the real risk of breaking your site.

City Police Guild Goes After The Stranger and Our "Ilk."
posted by August 9 at 15:17 PMon
In the August edition of The Guardian, the newsletter for the Seattle Police Officers' Guild (the SPD union), editor Ron Smith critiques my CounterIntel column from July 12.
In that July 12 column, I had argued that the final Office of Professional Accountability report on the controversial George Patterson arrest was not the soft ball whitewash Mayor Nickels intended it to be. Nor, more importantly, was it the whitewash activists perceived it to be.
In fact, I maintained that OPA director Kathryn Olsons report was damning, and that it added credibility to activist demands that the Mayor get tough on the Chief.
I wished police accountability activists had seized Olsons report (she adamantly yanked the OPAs previous finding that exonerated the officers against charges they lied) rather than pooh-poohing it. I thought activists could have used the report to make the case that when the OPA director scolds cops like that, the Mayor and the Chief need to take action against those cops.
In his column, Guardian editor Ron Smith describes police accountability activists as "Feit and his ilk" and calls my column "emotional knee jerking" and "fringe element" and suggests I'm preaching to the "sheeple" of Seattle. (The SPD sees critical community members as "sheeple?" WTF?)
For starters, Smith misses that fact that my interpretation was out of sync with the "sheeple." Indeed, accountability activists maintained that Olson's report was a white wash. I was arguing that Olson's report was helpful.
And that's really the part, I think, that gets Smith's goat. He liked the report. I liked the report. He like's it because he thinks it exonerates the SPD. I like itread itbecause it yanks an "exonerated" finding on the most serious charge (that the officers lied about the arrest … which seems to unravel everything about their credibility) and lowers the finding down to "not sustained." "Not sustained" is the 4th worst finding an officer can get out of the 5 possible findings. "Exonerated" is the best finding. So, that's like going from an A to a D.
Smith's argument is that a "not sustained" finding isn't worthy of serious punishment because "not sustained" means the citizen allegation wasn't proved or disproved. That's hardly a big deal, Smith argues, and suggests that if a charge against a citizen was neither proved nor disproved they shouldn't be punished either.
I can't get The Guardian online, so here's a transcript from Smith's "Editor's Notes:
Josh Feit, columnist for The Stranger has decided that five of the possible findings in an OPA investigation; sustained, not sustained, exonerated, unfounded and supervisory intervention must be given a letter grade. In doing so, Feit has dubbed exonerated an A, not sustained a D and sustained an F (Counter Intel, The Stranger July 12, 2007). Feit thinks that anyone who gets a D from the OPA should get serious discipline. So keeping with the spirit of Feits reasoning, when the allegation of misconduct cannot be proved nor disproved by a preponderance of the evidence, he wants serious discipline leveled. Well how about this, whenever the cops cannot prove or disprove someone committed a civil infraction (same level of proof), we write a ticket anyway and impound their hybrid? Can you imagine the outcry from Feit and his ilk if a law enforcement officer pronounced a Seattleite guilty at the time of arrest, and called for their imprisonment? This logic furthers my view that the sheeple of Seattle live with their heads imbedded in some dark place, only to rely only emotional knee jerking to form critical opinions. Just passing on a little intel so that you are aware of how the fringe element wants to limit your due process rights!
Cute. And it certainly has me reconsidering the stridency of my position.
But I cannot shake the feeling that Smith is talking apples to oranges.
Citizens are innocent until proven guilty. However, it's not the same for employees. If a barista cannot disprove allegations that they're dipping into the till, it's likely they're gonna be in deep shit.
Likewise in my job: If I publish something as a statement of fact and someone challenges it and I can't prove its veracity, I could get my ass sued (successfully) for libel.
And when the employee is a public servanta public servant like a cop who has the delicate and serious job of carrying a gun and policing the publicthe onus is on them to earn credibility. If an officer cannot disprove charges from a citizen that he or she was lying, there need to be repercussions to restore public trust.
I maintain that in the limited context of five potential findings, where "not sustained" is the second to worst possible finding, and where the OPA director lowers the original finding from the best possible finding for the officer ("exonerated") to "at least," in her words, the second worst possible finding (meaning at least a D if not an F) there should be consequences.
Again, Smith's point is noteworthy and makes me pause. But given the context and politics here, I think Olson was sending a strong message by moving the finding downward from an A to at least a D.

Deus Ex: The Fall iOS
- Publisher: Square Enix
- Release Date: Jul 11, 2013
- Also On: PC, Xbox 360
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Sep 17, 2013The Fall has its flaws, but is definitely an impressive title to a format that keeps surprising us.
Games Master UKSep 2, 2013The best looking game on mobiles? It's up there. But dodgy shooting controls let it down. [Oct 2013, p.78]
games(TM)Aug 21, 2013As a straight-up FPS, Deus Ex: The Fall is an unequivocal failure. But as a stealth think-'em-up, it's a triumph of good first-person game design on a format that is, historically speaking, stubbornly ill-suited to similar fare. [Issue#138, p.114]
Jul 30, 2013The voice-acting is one major problem, but the slow pacing of the story is another low point. Overall, the entire package is a fun little distraction.
Jul 22, 2013Deus Ex The Fall is a rather nice attempt at pushing a Deus Ex experience on touch devices; it works, but not flawlessly. With a less than stellar level design, some annoying bugs, and limited branching, The Fall seems to make the most of less than ideal devices, but do not think for a minute that it can go on par with the real thing on a full-fledged console or PC. Still very nice to play, though, as a point of entry to the series or a quick fix until a real sequel to Human Revolution.
Jul 16, 2013Deus Ex: The Fall is a good experiment, limited by the devices it runs on.
Jul 12, 2013Deus Ex: The Fall isn't bad, it's just not great with the main takeaway being disappointment based on the promise the game showed.
Jul 11, 2013Despite the game's stumbles, there's an awful lot to like about this mobile Deus Ex. It's an impressive adventure, one that sets a few new standards when it comes to navigating mobile 3D worlds, and squeezing mechanics onto touchscreens. It's an inescapable conclusion, however, that the game's undeniable accomplishments also serve to highlight its rougher edges.
Jul 11, 2013Deus Ex: The Fall works far better with touch controls than one would think, and it offers up a lighter, if a little bare-bones Human Revolution experience. In many ways though this experiment feels like a waste, as it would really be stronger as either a PlayStation Vita game or even a downloadable console title.
Jul 18, 2013The technical feat of getting a game of this pedigree up and running on iOS is impressive. Without competent combat, however, all that work is for naught.
Jul 23, 2013Remove the lazy in-game shop, add gamepad support, give some brains to AI enemies and more freedom to players – and the inevitable sequel to Deus Ex: The Fall will be a great game.
Jul 16, 2013This is a good looking but foul compromise. It replicates the atmosphere of Human Revolution but in terms of gameplay this is just second class.
Hyper MagazineSep 4, 2013The game sort of falls apart in combat. [Oct 2013, p.78]
Jul 22, 2013There's nothing here that wasn't done bigger, in more detail, and with more options, in Eidos Montreal's game, while the story so far fails to introduce new ideas or themes.
Jul 11, 2013The Fall is at times rewarding but, unfortunately, often frustrating. It's certainly ambitious and a step towards progression in mobile gaming, intending to deliver a comprehensive blockbusting experience. Ultimately, it falls short of the mark.
Jul 11, 2013Deus Ex: The Fall is a short but sweet spin-off for fans of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, just make sure you double check your iOS device's firmware and hardware before downloading.
Jul 25, 2013Deus Ex: The Fall isn't the great game we've been hoping for. It's actually quite disappointing. Big chunks of it just don't work well, but decent fiction makes up for some of the problems. It's not enough to warrant a purchase though.
Jul 16, 2013All the ingredients are there from Human Revolution, but the final dish is disappointingly tasteless – even if its main problems are the opposite of what you'd expect.
Jul 10, 2013On paper, this is just the kind of iOS tie-in fans often ask for: it's faithful to the source material, filled with familiar systems and details, and it's even made a decent attempt at matching the graphical style of the main game. It's Deus Ex in cross-section, but although so many of the right pieces are in place, the energy and skill that usually brings the whole thing to life is missing.

Jul 12, 2013After purchasing the game on my jailed device and seeing the "You cannot fire on a Jailed device" message pop up, I was a bit upset. LuckilyAfter purchasing the game on my jailed device and seeing the "You cannot fire on a Jailed device" message pop up, I was a bit upset. Luckily someone had made a bypass (they are also getting rid of that message in the next update) that disabled that message. After I got passed the DRM, the game felt good (aside from the double click to move thing, you can disable it in the options). It feels like a Deus Ex:HR on mobile, which is great for me, me being a huge deus ex fan. The story is good and ties with the Human Revolution story, giving you a different prospective. Graphics are pretty good but I have seen better. Controls are a bit iffy with the tap to kill type gameplay. But overall it is a good game for any deus ex fan.… Full Review »

The dean of Pennsylvania State University's Dickinson School of Law has announced that he will step down effective July 31 to take a position at Peking University, Penn State said Thursday.
Philip J. McConnaughay, who also was founding dean of Penn State's School of International Affairs, will become dean of Peking's School of Transnational Law in Shenzhen, China, beginning Aug. 1.
McConnaughay has led the law school, now with locations at both State College and Carlisle, since 2002. His decision to depart comes as the university prepares to operate the two law schools as separately accredited campuses by 2015. That plan came about after Gov. Corbett and the Cumberland County commissioners opposed Penn State's plans to discontinue its first-year program at the Carlisle campus and offer upper-level classes and international programs.

Inga Liljeström
Inga Liljeström Inga Liljestrom is an Australian experimental singer-songwriter. Her musical style is broad and crosses many genres, from electronic to rock, folk, country, and avant garde. Originally from Bellingen on the north coast of New South Wales in Australia, Inga Studied jazz vocals at Southern Cross University, and it wasn't until moving to Sydney that she discovered an aptitude for composing. Her first group 'Helgrind' explored avant-garde rock with co-composer Felicity Fox. This led to solo explorations into electronics and string instruments for her two first albums 'Urchin' and later her critically acclaimed album 'Elk' on the Groovescooter[1] label. She has been given four grants from the Australia Council for the Arts to compose her original music. She has performed and toured as guest singer with numerous groups such as jazz experimental group 'd.i.g' (Directions in Groove) for their album Curveystrasse; with Australian iconic group The Church, for their album El Momento Siguiente; made vocal contributions to "Dust Me Selecta" by Gerling which became a hit song and remixed Gotye's Mixed Blood. Since 1998, Liljestrom has released 5 albums (with a new one almost completed for release in 2013), one DVD and has performed many shows, including sold out performances at The Studio, Sydney Opera House; The Vanguard; 505; Sydney and Adelaide festivals; and also festivals in Europe including Czech Republique, Poland, France and more. Liljestrom toured and composed with the Branch Nebula production 'Paradise City', touring South America and regional Australia. In 2009 she relocated to Paris, France, and recorded 'Black Crow Jane', which resulted in a publishing and record deal with Emergence music, based in France. Her compositions and voice has also contributed to many films and television programs including feature 'Left Ear' by Andrew Wholley; and ABC's Rake series. In the last few years, she has been teaching University students in Europe and Australia as part of Residency programs, creating multi-media shows with art, music and film students.
- Urchin (Self Released 1998)
4 Stars "Inga Liljestrom's voice tickles angels' ears… her sultry voice of yesteryear is the mesmerising centerpiece...raises gooseflesh." (Chloe Sasson, Metro, Sydney Morning Herald, Australia)
- Elk (Groovescooter Records 2005)
CD of the Week "...dripping in emotion it is nothing short of magic...Phoenix is the stand out track; imagine being tossed around by a storm of strings, bass and drums, all held together by a voice that expresses so much with so little effort. Inga's voice is a fresh sound that is crying to be heard; this album will not disappoint."(Benjamin Chinnock, The Brag Magazine, Australia)
Drenched in a narcotic otherworldliness, it's as much an interior journey to the deepest extremes of Inga's musical well – a sort of seductive one-on-one with an inspired mind...the 12 songs are like weather stations in a sea of emotion, to chart a course thru shifting moods and dreamscapes...That unique voice of Liljestrom is what brings it all together. Blessed with a fragile/strong feel that can whisper intimacies even when filling the soundscape with primal cries, it's a voice that focuses listeners and draws them in. Inga Liljestrom has something sensual and artistic all her own. Highly recommended. (Perry Kilmer, Drum Media Magazine, Australia)

- Radjur - DVD (Groovescooter /da dAdA 2008)
- Urchin 2010 (Groovescooter /da dAdA 2010) [reissue]
"She manages to balance her dark and emotive songwriting with an orchestral depth, with neither dominating the other… In a league of her own…" 5/5 (Hamish Ta-Me, Crema Magazine, Australia)
- Black Crow Jane (Emergent/Groovescooter Records 2011)
"Something truly happens when beautiful voices of the north attack folk music...Inga Liljestrom masters a sense of space and ambience, treacherously calm. The ettiquette is strange, with a distant legacy of Kate Bush on Black Crow Jane, alternating between perfect nursery rhymes for adults and unnerving rock epics. [She]… has appropriated some American heritage, but it is barely recognisable here, under an assault of fire and ice. A small marvel of poetry who caresses as much as she cuts." (Journal Ventrilo, France)
"…an undeniable mastery in writing, composition, production, arrangements, visual - a breath and power that does not evaporate, as in many others….Black Crow Jane alternating climates, hot, cold, hit, appeased (skeletal lament Drowning Song, rock and thick skinned Mascara Black, Bloodstain, almost folk delicacy Wishing Bone Hands, Wildest Horse, or …) Between rock and cabaret Gothic Inga Liljeström with her ominous incantations, she reminds us that before her, another Australian came to Europe to impose his unique vision under high influence of tortured crooner: Nick Cave."(Telerama, Hugo Cassavetti, France)

I'm playing Skyrim on my brand new PC, and loving every minute of it. And thank God, because I'm over 40 hours into it and that's a lot of minutes. And as with Morrowind and Oblivion before it, a considerable amount of those minutes belong to the tedious pursuit of alchemy.
Oh Alchemy, why do I love you so?
My question to all you other fans is how you approach alchemy? Do you actually spend time in the game to test ingredients and learn the effects first-hand? Or do you simply find all of the effects on an internet list, and go from there?
I have actually been taking the time to test ingredients over and over until I get all 4 effects for each ingredient. Am I insane? Are other people taking this approach too, or do I just love punishment?
To be honest, it's actually pretty fun trying out new formulas, and quite satisfying when the dialogue box pops up to inform me that I have discovered new effects. But I really could not fault anyone for skipping all of that and just keeping a list handy in their Steam Shift-Tab window.
And this concept applies to the rest of the game as well. Are you discovering new Skill Trainers as you go, or do you just use the internet? I know I'm not the first to ask this question.
I'm just curious how everyone else is playing the game. I think this especially applies to a first playthrough, but I am really enjoying discovering things as I go, and not relying on guides to spell everything out to me at first. It might not be the most efficient way to play, but I think it's more fun.
What do you prefer?
thanks for reading--

Bush visits N.C. for McCrory fundraiser
Published: Saturday, June 21, 2008 at 10:12 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, June 21, 2008 at 10:14 a.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- President Bush raised money for Florida and North Carolina Republicans on Friday at private events held at upscale homes in Naples and Raleigh.
Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla., joined Bush aboard Air Force One for the flight to Fort Myers, then took a 20-minute ride in the Marine One presidential helicopter to a football field in Naples. The president's motorcade winded through a posh neighborhood to the home of Republican donors, John F. and Rhodora Donahue.
About 250 people attended the fundraising luncheon in Florida for Reps. Lincoln and Mario Diaz-Balart and other Florida Republicans. GOP officials declined to say how much was raised.
The Diaz-Balart brothers have represented South Florida, first in the state legislature and then in Congress. Lincoln Diaz-Balart is seeking a ninth term in the House. His brother, Mario, is seeking a fourth.
Later, Bush flew to Raleigh, N.C., to attend a fundraiser for Pat McCrory, a seven-term mayor of Charlotte, N.C., and Republican gubernatorial candidate. The event was held at the home of Raleigh developer John Kane. McCrory, an active campaigner for Bush in the past, faces Democratic Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue in November's election.
The amount raised at the evening fundraiser was not immediately available.

This song is great I used it in a flash animation im working on and I also credited you for the music aswell!! Keep up the awesome work dude!
Thanks man! Good luck on the animation, I look forward to watchin it :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is absolutely awesome! I love your style of music. It treads a perfect line between "totally badass" and "LET'S DANCE!"
I'd really love it if you someday made a part two to this song which was more focused around the ending melody which starts at 2:40. That part in particular is really incredible and leaves me wishing the song had gone on longer!
Can't wait to see what you do next, in any case. Keep up the good work ^^

That's AWESOME.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - When disaster strikes in Oklahoma,
thousands of police officers, firefighters and other public safety
officials are ready to respond.
But the director of the state Office of Homeland Security says
Oklahomans should also be prepared to care for themselves during a
catastrophe. Kerry Pettengill says the most effective first
responder to any tragedy is yourself.
Individual preparedness is the theme of a public relations
campaign called Red Dirt Ready that state homeland security
officials began last year.
The state homeland security office was created after the
September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It now has millions of
dollars worth of specialized rescue, hazardous materials and
decontamination equipment that can be called into service following
a natural or manmade disaster.

Google is testing a new look for AdWords ad that features the inclusion of domain names next to the ad headline, separated by a vertical line. Here's what it looks like:
AdWords has seen quite a few tweaks and tests this year. Back in January, Google began lowercasing display URLs and testing related PPC ads, then followed up in February by increasing the length of AdWords headlines, reverting ad backgrounds to yellow, and then in March we reported on spaces on display URLs.
But it seems this test is appearing more widely now. What do you think of the new AdWords format? Are you also seeing it?
UPDATE: Just a few hours after publishing this, Google announced via Inside AdWords that this is a global launch for all countries and languages. Additional details from Google:
- Only the domain will appear, not "www" or any subdirectories.
- The appearance of your display URL won't change.
- If your headline already contains your domain, Google won't show it again.
- Maximum headline length, including the domain and a description line, is 68 characters.
