I'm very happy that we have entered a time when it seems like the little things are what matters – taking the time to pack your own healthy lunch in a mason jar, arranging a wine night with girl friends, or simply going for a long walk and taking a stop to read a book in the park. Our generation is putting much more value on self-care and little luxuries than we all did 10 years ago (remember when everyone was dying for that LV knockoff bag from the school field trip to NYC? No longer). But with that comes a whole heck of a lot of pressure to be "Pinterest perfect."
With the influx of social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest, we spend a good chunk of our days day dreaming and seeing pictures of people's lives at their best… sunbathing on a yacht in a size two black bathing suit, for instance (see above). This might not necessarily urge you to get a yacht, per se, but you may be wondering "why isn't my life like this?" Whether it's a vacation, a job, an apartment, or a relationship, we all are having major Pinterest FOMO.
Having just recently hit the breaking point of this madness myself (trying to find and decorate the perfect apartment in the city can do that to you), I wanted to give this friendly reminder – your life is beautiful every second of every day. Even when you wake up and your hair is a rat's nest on your forehead. Even when you burn the brie-and-cranberry grilled cheese you tried to flawlessly whip up. Even when your room is dusty and lived in and a mess. These are your moments – and a piece of technology cannot capture all the love that is in each second. Your life is a movement and a constant creation, that includes many highs, lows, and all the wonderful seconds in between. Don't compare your life's movie to someone else's perfectly edited screen shot. It may be a pretty picture, but you have a story.
Be sure to live in your moment and stay true to you. And maybe try a lower heat on the grilled cheese next time.

Obama's Strategy to Oust Republicans: Opinion
Unless the GOP agrees to a deal acceptable to Senate Democrats and the president to slash federal deficits by $1.2 trillion over ten years, $85 billion in across-the-board cuts will be imposed automatically on March 1 -- virtually all in defense and other non-entitlement spending.
Obama paints a painful picture. Three-hour airport security lines, fewer meat inspectors, furloughed air traffic controllers requiring cancellation of thousands of flights, teachers and police fired. Some 250,000 lost jobs throughout the economy.
Most of this does not have to happen. Department heads within government agencies have considerable discretion in balancing individual accounts, as required by the 2011 Budget Act.
For example, the Department of Agriculture has one of the largest teams of research economists on the planet, and their dull reports should be cut before vital services like food inspections. Transferring administrative personnel to the economics department and furloughing a few more number crunchers would keep chicken and beef on the shelves.
Even if all spending cuts were through headcount reductions in federal departments and among contractors, each $111,000 of spending in the U.S. economy equates to one job. Therefore, $85 billion, even if wholly taken out in direct layoffs, would imply about 77,000 jobs lost, not 250,000 as the president claims.
Most layoffs can be avoided through partial furloughs -- a tactic Republican and Democratic governors employed during the Great Recession and the president could apply through executive orders.
Apparently, Obama wants a crisis to push Republicans into accepting even higher taxes or losing at the polls in 2014.
In January, the president got more than $85 billion in new taxes on the wealthy, higher payroll taxes for everyone, and an assortment of new levies on incomes, health insurance and medical devices through Obamacare.
The president and Democratic congressional leaders refuse to acknowledge what every bipartisan budget panel has concluded. Genuine entitlement reforms are necessary to bring deficits down to manageable size and maintain national security and other vital government functions.
As in negotiations with House Speaker John Boehner to avert the fiscal cliff, the president has again offered no genuine spending cuts. Now, he says sequestration will require the U.S. aircraft carrier presence in the Persian Gulf must to be cut in half. A 10% cut in naval appropriations requires a 50% reduction in that essential effort, because the Navy is already stretched too thin by Obama's repeated defense cuts and his new commitments in the Pacific.
The president is motivated by political gain to manufacture for taxpayer pain. The real spending choices imposed by sequestration, and that the president wrote the law that requires it, is poorly understood by most voters. He is exploiting the bully pulpit to wrongly blame House Republicans for what will surely follow.

So i've been testing advertising networks and exchanges again.
One network that sounds good in theory is Yahoo's Right Media. I sent them 10.8 M of my pageviews a day, of that only 9.4 million actually get loaded because their network is so damn slow. If that isn't bad enough the slowness of their network hangs my pages which caused my over all pageviews to fall by 3% on a dailly basis.
I find that if you chain your adnetworks together you lose at least 5% of your pageviews in every step of the chain. Some networks like right media you lose 15% righ off the bat.
Comparing CPM's across adnetworks doesn't mean anything because you have to take into account pageview loss from calling that network as well as the over all impact on your site. When you call some adnetworks and send them a million pageviews , some may report 970,000 while another will report 800,000…

David Thomson Psych 459/G8
Searching the Generations: Who is Saying What
|Instructions for this Report
|Dr. Driving's Home Page
|G8's Home Page
|My Home Page
I found these reports while browsing through all of the prior generations. I found a lot of topics on the influence of television and driving as well as topics on music and driving. I did not like either of these topics and I began to wonder if these were the easiest of all of the reports or if those writers just liked to watch a lot of TV and listen to a lot music. I spent a considerable amount of time reading through the prior generations (4 hours). I guess that I was wanting to read something different and that is why I chose these to do. As in life, many people follow the herd while others seek their own knowledge. I wanted to read these pathfinders.
The method that I used was to simply search all of the generations one by one and read all of the reports. I looked at every report for the last 4 generations. This took a lot of time but I noticed that the curriculum has changed over the years/semesters. Each has a modified or changed exercises and topics compared to the others. Finally I found the easiest method of all to find the reports I needed. GO TO THE AWARDS LINK FOR EACH GENERATION DUH ?! I found this the quickest way because it gave titles for each writer. I knew which one was my final selection when it was simple but informative.Back to top
My Selection #1
Brandy Ashby: How Drivers Communicate With Each Other. I chose this student's report because I liked the title and I also was interested in driver communication. Brandy Ashby did a very good job of organizing her material and providing enough explanations. She even used a tape recorder while she monitored others' behavior to record what she saw. Her observation area consisted of downtown traffic, the freeway, and a few back country roads. Ms. Ashby hypothesized that drivers in the country would be more "polite" than those in the city.
1. Description
Ms. Ashby uses three situations; making room in one's lane for another, yielding the way, and making turns. In each of these, she gave examples that occurred during her observations and compares them to the drivers on the mainland. Back to #1 Back to top
Making room in one's lane for another.
She believes that this is common courtesy in Hawaii but not on the mainland where she is from (Kentucky). While she observed on the freeway, she found that this was constantly going on and it gives drivers a "warm" feeling.Back to #1 Back to top
Yielding the way.
Here the writer naturally enjoyed watching drivers at a particular yield sign. She noticed that the drivers demonstrated very good behavior by stopping thier cars to allow others to proceed. Yielding the way for pedestrians was not very good. Drivers seemed more willing to yield for cars instead and Ms. Ashby did not believe that this was a good idea because it did not make senseBack to #1 Back to top
Making turns.
Ashby's pet peeve seems to be when someone else fails to signal when they make a turn. She feels that it is the drivers who wait too late to show it or do not use it at all that really make people upset.Back to #1 Back to top
Methods of Interaction and Effectiveness
She also gives a section on "Methods of Interaction and Effectiveness" where she describes different ways that people communicate while on the road such as vehicular communication, gestures, facial expressions, and verbal communication. Vehicular communication is believed to be the most common form in hawaii.They did this with "...braking quickly, revving the engine, tailgating, or flashing the headlights at another vehicle." Gestures are usually made with the shaka sign or "flying the bird." Facial expressions are an immediate expression of how we feel when something happens while verbal communication was considered by this writer as the least method used.Back to #1 Back to top
This next section is where she believes that driving circles could be used to improve communication. These driving circles would be used to create awareness through each other and the nedia. At the same time the groups could be more dynamic by creating smaller, more focused groups.Back to #1 Back to top
Finally she describes how she researched her information using the world wide web and library resources. She began with Excite search engine and found nothing so she then went to Alta Vista and only found the Arizona State Drivers Manual. She then tired Yahoo and found "The Death of the Courtesy Driver" which is an article about how one man interprets the decline of courtesy on American Highways. In the library search she only found a book by Peter Marsh called "Driving passion: The Psychology of the Car."Back to #1 Back to top
Related Articles
For related articles she drew her influence from past generation people Kristin Subia and Andrew Shapiro who both wrote articles on communication. Kristin's gave Ms. Ashby an understanding of what communication is but disagreed with the proposal to use telephone's to improve this communication. Andrew report includes a lot of detail and observation.Back to #1 Back to top
This section is Ms. Ashby's recommendation to future participants on this project. She believes that people involved with Quality Driving Circles could determine the best methods for communication and possibly choose new methods to improve communication between drivers.Back to #1 Back to top
2. Reaction
My reaction to the paper was that she kept it simple and clean in appearance. I would probably have done things different by providing some sort of data through research on direct observations. Not providing some sort of data was her weakest point although she does indicate the results of her research methods in her report. Her biggest strength was providing examples and relating the experiences here, and on what is occurring on the Mainland was her most original. I believed I would have tried more search engines and provided more factual information to advance the topic and make a logical argument that is clear.Back to #1 Back to top
3. Compare
Other students of the same generation had a lot of fancy bells and whistles. I was not interested in those pages because I wanted to read someone's page who could give me just the facts. Othe students did not seem quite as informative either. Back to #1 Back to top
My Selection #2
Raeder Kinney: The Speed limit Debate-How Do I Stand Raeder Kinney: The Speed Limit Debate- How do I Stand. This report first caught my attention with the unusual topic compared to other students. "The Speed Limit Debate"- a political topic. The second reason I chose this report was the emotional introduction that the writer gave concerning the death of his uncle. A real eye opener!
1. Description
Mr. Kinney begins his report by describing his experience when his uncle died in a head on collision. The police report stated that the other driver was exceeding the speed limit by 45 mph. The next section includes the writer's feelings about the issue, implications for the low, and his own personal behavior. Mr. Kinney believes that "SPEED KILLS!" and it is largely a by product of road rage. The laws are made for the "benefit and safety of society." Interestingly enough, he believes his own behavior as a speeding driver is different from others because his habitual and many times "accidental."Back to #2 Back to top
Quotes from prior generations
Here we have several quotes by prior generations aboiut how bad speeing is to society. These people include Shane Cabb-Adams (G4), Shelly Secretario (G4), Ronnie Simon (G3), and Michelle Alonzo (G3). Michelle's quote "Some of us like to live in dabger. We speed because we feel a rush when we do or we just want to test out our automobile's abilities" is the most vague. It is hard to tell if this pro- or anti-speeding. What is Mr. kinney communicating to us? Is this an opposition statement or a confession?Back to #2 Back to top
My Feelings
"SPEED KILLS!" is what is blurted out to us immediately. He states that it does kill. This is where he begins to relate our experiences to reports to the newsmedia by using a repetitive jargon. He attributes the behavior to road rage and how it can be reduced through Quality Driving Circles. The last paragraph he writes about his own poor driving behavior that involves speeding but attributes demisses it as an accident. He feels that drivers need to focus on improving their ACS Skills (Affective-Cognitive-Sensorimotor) for our feelings and thoughts.Back to #2 Back to top
Web sites that discuss speeding
His research that involves speeding boils down to two articles. The National Coalition for the Abolition of Speed Limits and the Virginia Department of Transportation. The NCASL has a radical approach to get rid of speed limits because it is drunk and careless drivers that kill, not speeders. Mr. Kinney gave a very good counter argument that their statistics do not involve the number of people who are killed by speeders. Only those who are not killed by speeders. The VDT talks of how speed limit signs are posted for our safety and to promote better traffic flow.Back to #2 Back to top
What should traffic psychology do about speeding?
This writer believes that speeding is a product of Road Rage and drivers need to improve their ACS Skills to improve their driving. These are skills that not only involve driving but can also be used in all our daily activities.Back to #2 Back to top
How do I stand on this issue now that I'm more informed
He still believes that speed kills because he knows from first hand experience when his uncle died. His theory is that we should leave home earlier rather than rush to where ever we may be going.Back to #2 Back to top
2. Reaction
The last sections of his report involves research into anti-speeding/pro-safety organizations, quotes from News groups, implications for traffic psychology theory, and a word to future online generations. As I said before, my reaction to this web page was political and emotional. I became involved with what he had to say because I too have read material on the topic. His content and presentation was simple and well organized. I especially liked how he inserted quotes from News groups and other generations. I thought it was original for him to confess his own driving behavior but at the same time I thought it was foolish to discredit himself after preaching. "SPEED KILLS!." In order to make this an excellent essay, it needs more facts to convince the reader that his political ideas are right and show how it out- weighs the opposition. He does provide a link to a statistics section. he could have incorporated it into his work. Back to #2 Back to top
3. Compare
Other students of this generation also had simple layouts and similar writing styles. I chose this aritcle for htthe title and unique introduction. All of the other articles seemed to be more blah-blah.
My Selection #3
How News groups Are Described In The Generational Curriculum
Angie Inouye: Identifying Attitudes Through News groups Messages. I chose this article because it involves News groups and especially because it concerns the attitudes present in the writers after reading another person's message. Ms. Inouye gave a lot of examples from different News groups as well as from previous generations. She also writes in an intelligent and objective manner.
1. Description
The report begins with an accurate description on what it is like searching for, choosing, and observing various News groups. She then gives examples of what previous generations writers reported while observing News groups and realized that there is a general consensus. This type of environment can be confusing. The next section involves excerpts from the online News groups with a brief description of how she interprets it. Four attitudes emerged in the form of "letting out Anger,""Flaming" "Sarcastic" and "Dear Abby." Finally Ms. Inouye attempts to answer the question. "Is there a Moral Crisis in Driving Attitudes?" Back to #3 Back to top
How News groups are described in the Generational Curriculum
When she first be gan to search for News groups, she could not understand what was going on until she asked some other people in the class. She had a difficult time how to search or even read them. Her initial belief was that News groups were for informaitonal purpose only and did not realize that it was actually a bunch of people voicing their opinions. The search for "aggressive drivers" gave several odd sounding topics but did give the information she needed. She realized that everyone wondered why drivers behave the way they do.Back to #3 Back to top
Attitudes and News groups
Four attitudes were described of subscribers to these groups. These include "Letting Out the Anger", "Flaming," "Sarcastic," and "Dear Abby." Ms. Inouye describes each example with an interpretation of what is going on. Whe also observed the interaction going on between them and noticed a level of hostility between "aggressive drivers" and "safety drivers."Back to #3 Back to top
Is there a Moral Crisis in Driving Attitudes?
This is a tough question for this writer to answer. According to the congressional testimony web site, it appears that this has only becaome a problem of recent years after it has been called to attention. The answer to this question is not clearly given but she does state that researchers believe that it is a behavioral problem. Some causes may be congestion on highways, territorial deffensiveness, and busy schedules.Back to #3 Back to top
To Ms Inouye, "News groups is a power of each and
everyone's freedom of speech." here she is saying that these forums
provide an excellent way to communicate ideas to each other. She has learned
that they consist of a variety of attitudes and behaviors. Since that people
do not confront each other face-to-face, she believes it eadier for people
to speak and at the same time sound macho, ignorant, and rude.Back
to #3 Back to top
2. Reaction
My reaction to this article was very good. It aided in my understanding of News groups. and it definately helped me for my next article that concerns this topic. The web page is attractive while still keeping simple. She makes good use of horizontal rules, graphic colored balls for each section in the Table of Contents, and a good use of italics. As I scanned through the report the first time, i was a little turned off by the long length of the newsgroup excerpts. But I feel they were necessary and helpful to understand what the writer was talking about. If I were to do the report, I would use some of the techniques used in My Selection #4 to increase the use of tags to help navigate around the report. i was turned off by the use of her (a) (b) (c)... for the beginning of her new topic paragraph. The content was informative from a layman's point of view.Back to #3 Back to top
3. Compare
Most writers had a lot of fancy graphics to jazz up this site. Many of them had detaild Table of Contents that seemed to extend past the bottom of the screen. I did not like that because it forced me to scroll up and down. The web page creator made a simple Table and used minimal amounts of graphics just to be used as a visual aid to the reader. The writing in this article was informative and seemed to cover all of the areas necessary compared to the other writers of the same generation.
My Selection #4
Rose-Anne Ancog: Social Psychology of Web Architecture. This report is fantastic! Here is a person that went from knowing nothing about the Web to someone who created an excellent article using links and tags. A very impressive report that is very informative.
I found this in the awards page for generational students. I was first interested in the title especially because it is different form all of the other reports. It was a turn off to see many of the students to do the same topic so I didn't even look at those. When I did find this article then I knew that I didn't need to look any farther.
This article began with a proper sized title plus sub-title at the top center of the page. Then there are two tables. One above the other. The top table has a general links to guide through other parts of the generational infrastructure. The second table is a navigator of tags for each section of the report. These tags do not point to the inside of each section but rather point to the beginning of the sections themselves. This is helpful to navigate the entire page.
The introduction is the writer's account of his experience of entering the cyberworld as a novice. I was sort of turned off by this because it seemed kind of "hum drum boring." But it is inspiring to see that the writer had found a sense of accomplishment rather being over whelmed.Back to #4 Back to top
1. Description
Web Designer Principles As I See It
This section involves the design principles and is heavily dominated by Jeffrey Glover's site. This site gives a heavy amount of instruction into web page design. It has its own ranking method of how to evaluate a web page. At the same time it emphasizes a designer's creativity over "rules" for designing. I thought this section was very informative to someone with little experience but I would like to have seen a comparison with some other site that gives instruction. The usage of links in this section looks very professional in how it looks interlaced with the text.Back to #4 Back to top
Psychological Aspects to Web Design
The next section concerns the psychological aspects of web page design. Wow! Talk about informative to the lay reader! This section concerns psychological characteristics, informational content, and stylistic features. Here she writes about affective, cognitive, and sensorimotor aspects of web design. This impressed me because I never thought about creating a page specifically for the reader. I always thought that the design was based on content. I wished she would given more examples or a reference to more information.Back to #4 Back to top
What It's Like to Become A Web Designer
The author then gave her true to life experience of becoming a web page designer. this was the biggest turn off for me because I am not interested in the author. I am primarily interested in the content of the page. This is where you start skipping through sections of text because it is normally useless information. She does give input on the advantages of having a local ISP (Internet Service Provider) to access the university unix system.Back to #4 Back to top
Annotated Index to Web Design
Finally in the last section we are greeted with the Annotated index that the author gathered resources from. this includes Dr. Leon James' home page, The Web Shack, HTML help, The Psychology of Cyberspace, and The Psychology of Web Design. The writer gives an interesting description of each but I had lacked interest to click into it. Back to #4 Back to top
2. Reaction
I thought that the author did an excellent job with the report and was informative. At the same time it caused me to look at my pages and alter them. For instance I recently designed a home page that was heavy in graphics and animation. After reading this I quickly decided that I did not need all of it and that I could provide a link instead to another page with a more focused topic.Back to #4 Back to top
I thought the logic of the article flowed well. I would like to have seen more references to what is contained in the Index section so that I knew where he got all of his information. The section on characteristics of a page was very informative but could have gone more in depth or given a reference to someone who could. All in all, I was inspired to be more creative. Back to #4 Back to top
3. Compare
Other students gave similar reports but did not seem to have the same attitude as this writer. Because this writer emphasized Jeffrey Glover's report, I think that she put it to use and violated some common rules like using the center text function for everything and putting the entire article inside of a table. She must have some attitude or was being extra creative. Other students did not seem to give the psychological side as this writer did. they just seemed to go through the motions to get the article done. This writer gave some impressive material that was easy to understand. Again, no bells and whistles to distract me.
4. Other Students of My Generation
Of the two reports that I had found on my class directory, neither were finished so I have little to write about here. My first reaction though was that I must have misunderstood how to do the report because I thought that we had to go through section by section of the report we had found and write something about it. At the same time I believed to understand that we were to pout tags also for each section. I must have really over done myself or shot myself in the foot by putting hours of energy into this and going in the wrong direction ot the same time. I believe that my classmates may have been more able to express their feelings and their thought processes better than I have. Their web pages are a little different. One uses a list funciton in the Table of Contents while another did something more like a table similar to mine but with less emphasis on details. I think that I should try harder to be more explicit in the writing above or just chalk this up to experience and do better on my newsgroups file.
5. Suggestions for future Generations
My suggestion for future generations who read this report and my want to go further with it is to make sure that you get topics that you are truly interested in. Design your web page in a simple manner so that your reader does not get distracted by fancy animations. The focus here should be on the four articles and to create an environment that is easy to navigate in.

A Don McCormack column: If you could go back...
- Written by By DON McCORMACK - firstname.lastname@example.com, Sports Editor
Over the weekend, yours truly had an opportunity to catch on of his favorite, albeit more than a bit cheesy, movies — "The Final Countdown" — which starred Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen, Katherine Ross, James Farentino and Charles Durning.
Having always been hooked on anything with the time-travel aspect to it, the tagline of the 1980 film more than reeled me in:
"On Dec. 7, 1980, the nuclear carrier USS Nimitz disappeared in the Pacific... and reappeared Dec. 7, 1941... the day the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor."
Seeing the flick immediately threw me into the wayback machine, which led me to this thought:
If I could go back in time and right a single sports-related "wrong," what would it be?
"Wrong" meaning, of course the team I wanted to prevail did not emerge victorious.
With that in mind, I came up with a list, and this involves you, Loyal Readers. I want to hear from you in regards to what your "wrongs" would be, regardless of level.
They could be your favorite professional team getting the shaft from officials or umpires, or a college squad not taking care of business, or your high school alma mater losing a heartbreaking contest or even something from back in the days of being on the sandlot.
With that in mind, here are my nominees:
A bad break
I'm 10 years old, living in Middeltown, Pa. and playing for manager Tom Stipe's Sureheat Fuels in the spring of 1974.
We reach the major division championship series, thanks mostly to the lightning-bolt right arm of speedball artist Melvin Livering.
Just before the best-of-three championship series — played under the lights, by the way — Melvin breaks his throwing arm while messing around doing something in his backyard.
With his broken arm went a bunch of broken hearts... including mine.
We lost the title series in two games.
Broken hearted
In the Miracle of Richfield season of 1975-76, the Cavaliers were one of the best teams in the NBA.
In fact, entering the playoffs, having won the Central Division championship for the first time in franchise history with a 49-33 record, coach Bill Fitch's squad, which boasted seven guys who averaged double-figures in scoring an Hall of Famer Nate Thurmond off the bench as a defensive stopped and emotional leader, seemed primed for a lengthy playoff run.
Of course, the seven-game Tong War with the Washington Bullets, who featured the triumvirate of Elvin Hayes, Wes Unseld and Phil Chenier, will never be forgotten by anyone old enough — and fortunate enough — to experience it. (A side note — my copy of the album, "The Miracle of Richfield, the Cavalier happening," autographed by Joe Tait is one of my most prized possessions).
That thrilling victory set the stage for a matchup against the storied Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals.
In the final practice session before that clash against Boston, which featured the likes of John Havlicek, Dave Cowens, JoJo White, Paul Silas, Don Nelson and Charlie Scott, Jim Chones broke his foot.
Now, today's generation knows Chones for his broadcasting work. However, nearly four decades ago, the 6-foot-11 center was the Cavaliers' starting center and leading scorer.
Despite a courageous performance by the Cavaliers, who were forced to put the veteran Thurmond into the starting lineup, Boston prevailed in a 6-game slugfest... and went on to defeat the Phoenix Suns in the Finals to win the title.
Kicked in the gut
On Sept. 24, 1977, national powers Oklahoma and Ohio State, led by Hall of Famers Barry Switzer and Woody Hayes, respectively, squared off in a Clash of the Titans at Ohio Stadium.
The Sooners stormed to a 20-point lead, only to see the Buckeyes get off the canvas and rally for a 28-26 lead.
Yours truly was a 13-year-old, working dutifully at his first job, cleaning up at Knight's Meats in Jefferson (in the building Dr. Wade's office is now located), as me and my boss, the late Jack Knight (a truly wonderful guy) listened through the crackle of AM radio, living and dying with every twist and turn as any true-blue Buckeye fan would.
With that, we'll let John Underwood of Sports Illustrated take over:
On the Oklahoma sideline Barry Switzer is laughing. Why is Barry Switzer laughing? With six seconds to play. Switzer's team is losing to Ohio State 28-26. The game is in Columbus. Ohio, where, as one Oklahoma coach observed respectfully, even the stadium looks like Woody Hayes — wide and old and menacing. The 88,119 spectators, mostly Ohio State fans, are invoking Woody's wrath on the Sooners, on whom at this desperate moment the sky appears to be falling as well. That sky is bloated with rain and gray as wet aluminum. Switzer's matted blond hair and laughing face stand out.
So, on the field, does the lank and limby and somewhat incongruous figure of the Oklahoma placekicker, standing apart from the huddled Sooners at about the Ohio State 35. The kicker is a 21-year-old with a Smiling Jack mustache. His name is Uwe von Schamann but his teammates call him "Von Foot."
As the last chance the Sooners have, Von Foot is being encouraged by the Buckeye fans to grab his own throat. "Block that kick! Block that kick!" they scream. Ohio State has called a just-before-the-kick time out in order to get this encouragement going and to give Von Foot additional time to think about the enormity of his task. Von Foot is not choking, however. In mock orchestration, he is leading the Ohio State cheer, his arms upraised and his forefingers flourishing.
And Switzer, laughing out loud in a giddy release of tension, says to his assistants on the Oklahoma sideline, "What the hell are we doing in this profession?"
The record will show that Uwe (pronounced YOO-va) Von Foot von Schamann then soccered a 41-yard field goal through that immense volume of low atmosphere and high pressure.
The record will not show that it was a statement made as emphatically as a cop ringing a doorbell, a booming, authoritative kick, high and far and dead-center true, winning the game for Oklahoma with three seconds to spare.
Switzer kissed Von Foot when he came off the field.
Growing up a Browns fan, the Clevelanders' inability to win a single game at Three Rivers Stadium stuck in the craw of me and all my buddies.
However, on Sunday, Sept. 24, 1978, that torment came to an end... or it should have, at least.
Heading into overtime tied, 9-9, Pittsburgh won the toss and elected to receive.
Don Cockroft's kick was fielded by Steelers rookie Larry Anderson, who proceeded to fumble the football and the Browns recovered, instantly in field-goal range.
The Jinx was kaput, right?
Of course not. Somehow, the buffoons in striped shirts, despite the fact television replays showed conclusively that not only did Anderson indeed fumble but also that the Browns had recovered, ruled the play had been whistled dead.
Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw's 31-yard pass to tight end Bennie Cunningham on a double-reverse in overtime gave the Steelers an undeserved 15-9 victory, their ninth in a row in Three Rivers.
The Browns would lose seven more games in a row at Three Rivers before Bernie Kosar led them to a 27-24 victory there on Oct. 5, 1986.
Seeing red
Less than three years later, the Browns were in the playoffs, coach Sam Rutigliano's Kardiac Kids sending Cleveland to the postseason for the first time since a loss to the undefeated and eventual Super Bowl champion Miami Dolphins in 1972.
With NFL Most Valuable Player Brian Sipe at the controls of the Browns' high-powered offense, all seemed right in the world as Cleveland prepared to host AFC wildcard Oakland in a divisional playoff game on Jan. 4, 1981 at Cleveland Stadium.
Of course, it wasn't to be as Mother Nature's fury set the gametime temperature at minus-4, neutralizing not only Sipe, but the aforementioned Cockroft's ability to kick and, just as important, backup quarterback Paul McDonald's ability to hold on placekicks.
Poised on the doorstep of victory and advancing to the AFC Championship Game against the Chargers in sunny San Diego, Sipe's ill-fated pass was picked off in the end zone by Mike Davis, preserving Oakland's 14-12 triumph.
Red Right 88...
Driven mad
Just more than 6 years later, the Browns had reached the AFC title game, in fact, hosting it, with John Elway and the Denver Broncos coming to Cleveland Stadium on Jan. 11, 1987.
Thanks to Kosar's 48-yard scoring strike to Brian Brennan, then Denver muffing and having to fall on the ensuing kickoff inside it's own 2, the Browns seemed destined for the Super Bowl in Pasadena, holding a 20-13 lead with 5:32 to play.
No more details need provided.
Foiled by fumble
A year and 6 days later, the Browns and Broncos squared off in another AFC Championship Game, this one at Mile High Stadium on Jan. 17, 1987.
Trailing, 21-3, Kosar led the Browns back with four touchdowns in the second half and tied the game at 31-31. After Elway hit Sammy Winder with a 20-yard touchdown toss to give Denver a 38-31 lead with 6 minutes to go, Kosar, along with his sidekick, Earnest Byner, led Cleveland back down the field.
At the Denver 8 with 1:12 left to play, another overtime thriller seemed inevitable.
Byner off left tackle, Browns wideout Webster Slaughter doesn't complete his runoff of Broncos cornerback Jeremiah Castille to the flag, instead turning to watch the play... Castille, seeing that, hits Byner as he powers toward the end zone, forcing The Fumble and recovering it, cementing what would end up a 38-33 Denver win.
Dive in '95
The 1995 World Series — umpires' strike zone for the Atlanta Braves wider than Eric Gregg's backside was what is took to neutralize baseball's best offense since the '61 Yankees.
'nuff said.
Two years later...
The 1997 World Series, the Indians return to the Fall Classic to take on the rent-a-player Florida Marlins.
Jose &^*())&()(* Mesa!
'nuff said, redux.
There are others, of course, most notably, Michael Jordan and "The Shot" in the 1989 NBA playoffs in Game 5 of a first-round series at The Coliseum in Richfield.
In truth, though, coach Lenny Wilkens' Cavaliers were living on borrowed time when Jordan hit The Shot over a flailing Craig Ehlo, despite being the best team in the league until a dirty elbow to the temple of Cavaliers point guard Mark Price by Detroit's Rick Mahorn.
But now, Loyal Readers, it's your turn.
Hit me with what sports-related "wrong" you would choose to correct if you were able to hop in the wayback machine and I'll put them together for a piece to appear in this space down the line... forward in time, if you will.
Pressed to name one "wrong," I would choose the first one listed above.
Heartbreak at age 10 is never forgotten, after all.

(for this release
David March
PENN Medicine
(215) 615-3353
Megan Kasimatis
Tobacco Use Research Center
(215) 746-6828
(Philadelphia, PA)-- Adolescents who demonstrate impulsive
and risk-taking behavior and an increased need for stimulation,
a personality trait known as "novelty-seeking,"
are more receptive to tobacco advertising and are at
high risk for smoking initiation according to a study
by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania
School of Medicine and Georgetown University.
Research results appear in the October issue of Health
"To better understand the influence of tobacco
advertising on youth, this study sought to identify
subgroups of adolescents who have been most receptive
to tobacco advertising and promotional activities,"
said lead author Janet Audrain, PhD,
member of the Abramson Cancer Center of the University
of Pennsylvania, and assistant professor in the Department
of Psychiatry at Penn's School of Medicine. "While
previous research has shown that receptivity to tobacco
advertising is associated with higher levels of smoking
among adolescents, few studies have examined how variability
in personality traits among adolescents may make certain
teens more receptive to tobacco advertising."
Audrain led a research team that interviewed 1,071 ninth-grade
adolescents at five public high schools. These students
completed a questionnaire that assessed smoking habits,
exposure to other smokers, receptivity to tobacco advertising,
and the novelty-seeking personality trait.
The researchers determined the level of receptivity
to tobacco advertising by measuring whether adolescents
could name an often-advertised cigarette brand, had
a favorite tobacco advertisement, and if they possessed
or were willing to use a tobacco industry promotional
item. Novelty-seeking was measured by the adolescents'
responses to questions regarding impulsive and sensation-seeking
Forty-four percent of the adolescents had moderate
to high levels of receptivity. The researchers found
that adolescents in this group were more likely to have
tried smoking and to be higher in the novelty-seeking
trait. Novelty-seeking adolescents, both smokers and
non-smokers, were twice as likely to be receptive to
tobacco advertising. As a result of this finding researchers
believe that novelty-seeking may be a key factor in
receptivity to tobacco advertising regardless of smoking
status and may put teens with this trait at a higher
risk for smoking initiation.
"The heightened receptivity to tobacco advertising
among youth high in novelty-seeking may be attributable
to their greater need for stimulation and rewarding
experiences," said Audrain. "Tobacco industry
promotional campaigns, which often highlight stimulating
activities and adventurous behavior, appear to be designed
to appeal to this feature of novelty-seeking youth."
This study indicates that in order to counter the influence
of tobacco-industry advertising, anti- tobacco advertising
campaigns may need to target youth high in novelty seeking.
Anti-tobacco advertising directed at novelty-seeking
adolescents should be dramatic as well as physically
and emotionally intense as these adolescents may have
stronger reactions to messages containing high levels
of stimulation.
This research, which appears in Health Communication
in an article titled "Which adolescents are most
receptive to tobacco industry marketing? Implications
for counter-advertising campaigns," is part of
a four-year investigation Audrain and her colleagues
are conducting to explore the social, psychological
and genetic factors that influence adolescents'
decisions about smoking.
This research was funded by the National Cancer Institute
and the National Institute on Drug Abuse and was conducted
by the University of Pennsylvania/Georgetown University
Transdisciplinary Tobacco Use Research Center.

For the past 3 days my connection to this site gets blocked on and off. Don't know if if there is some sort of routing issue between servers, or some setting on my computer that got messed up.
I've actually had to google Rational Responders and try to link through the various subgroup links to get in rather than my bookmark. Sometimes none of that works. I am on right now of course, but have been having problems on and off lately.
Sorry man, we can't quite figure out why it is down. You aren't the only one. We hope the new server will fix our issue and plan to be on it by early March.

"A meritocratic society is one in which inequalities of wealth and social position solely reflect the unequal distribution of merit or skills amongst human beings, or are based upon factors beyond human control, for example luck or chance. Such a society is socially just because individuals are judged not by their gender, the colour of their skin or their religion, but according to their talents and willingness to work, or on what Martin Luther King called 'the content of their character'. By extension, social equality is unjust because it treats unequal individuals equally." "Political Ideologies" by Andrew Heywood (2003)

I use Arm & Hammer Peroxi-Care, because it is the only toothpaste I've found that doesn't spoil the taste of coffee.
hahaha, me too! :)
Try putting on lipgloss when you're done Claire.
I kinda understand where Claire is coming from. I use mild mouthwash because Listerine in waaay too strong for me to keep in my mouth long enough!!
I never thought about how it affects food because I like to wait until after eating to brush my teeth (anything else seems counter-productive). I like the one that tastes the freshest (and drink just clear cold water afterward). Coffee has always been an after-dinner thing for me (when I have it at all). Lime juice with stevia and ice cold water is enough to freshen my mouth first thing in AM.
Soot and salt! Used well before toothpaste.

This is as close as I've ever seen them. In this scene Paul is touching Claire on the face. Granted, he checking out the condition of her teeth as a dentist would. But still, this is an improvement.

U.S. National Intelligence Council – Global Trends 2030: Alternative Worlds
The National Intelligence Council has released an in-depth report on what the world will look like in 2030. This report, containing opinions from experts and analysts from over 20 different nations, covers topics such as military deployment, energy, and the world balance of power.
The report concludes that "one billion workers from developing countries will be added to the global labor pool, putting additional pressure on low-skilled labor." One billion people in a world of 8.1 billion–it is no wonder the report also concludes that the remaining middle class will not feel secure about their place in the world economy.
We've already seen this here in the U.S. "Free trade" forces American workers to compete against $4-per-hour wages in other countries–an unfair fight that we cannot win. Jobs leave our shores. That lack of jobs is what led many to the Occupy Wall Street movement: to fight for real jobs that offer real wages.
With 85 percent of items sold in Walmart being made in Asia–and 80 percent of those Asian-manufactured goods coming from China–it is also no wonder the report concludes that "Asia is set to surpass North America and Europe in global economic power." The report predicts that China will have an economy 140 percent larger than that of Japan. These shifts would give China the potential to replace the United States as the world's international leader.
The chart below shows the potential rise of China and India, compared to the rise of the United States.
We need to make changes now to prevent the loss of even more jobs and wealth. Overspending on things we do not need–to the point of going into debt with competing nations like China–are our downfall. Only through fair trade can we regain our former super power status. To do that, we must eliminate the so-called "free trade" agreements that have put us in this disastrous direction.

Design intent was that they were to be painted the same color as the upper instrument panel.

The local Filipino community is planning a weekend event to raise money for victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
The Typhoon Disaster Relief Fundraiser will be from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday at the Hills Market Downtown, 95 N. Grant Ave. The event, open to the public, will have food provided by Crepes a la Carte.
The Philippine American Society of Central Ohio, along with Ohio State University's Pilipino Student Association, is organizing the event.
A number of people locally are awaiting word on family members since the powerful storm struck on Friday.
"We have to wipe away our tears. Right now we have to take action to help the people there," said Melissa Abiva Fata, president of PASCO.
All proceeds from Saturday's event will go to the American Red Cross Typhoon Relief fund, which supports the Philippine Red Cross, Fata said.

4 Essential Business Lessons Not Just Learned But Incorporated: Lesson 2 – Collaborate
The learning curve for all entrepreneurs is a steep one that never quite flattens or slows. While it's great to learn a lot, the pace and intensity makes it hard to absorb, never mind implement, the lessons learned. Kind of like when you used to cram for an exam. You knew the information really, really well for about a day before it became lost in the deep recesses of your brain. That's why, at the end of the year, it's really important to reflect on what you've already learned before you outline what else you want to accomplish. This is especially important when you are a very small business as you probably don't have the resources to learn expensive lessons over and over again.
I asked a few entrepreneurs to share their best business lesson of 2012 as well as how they've changed their business. The lessons are nothing new. We've all learned them – probably several times over. But what's really compelling is how these entrepreneurs incorporated these lessons into their business practice. They spent time digesting before reaching for more. As a result, their businesses have evolved and improved considerably. Use their example as motivation to do the same!
Lesson 2: Collaborate
Evi Abeler, Evi Abeler Photography
Commercial food and product photographer
Evi is a talented product photographer with a broad array of experience both in-house and freelance. When she finally decided to go out on her own 100% she knew that she'd have to spend a fair amount of time on marketing herself and her services. She also knew that due to the visual nature of her work a blog and a strong social media presence would be important. The trouble was that her blogging attempts felt random and sporadic. Like many of us, she struggled to create good content that was not just efficient but also fun and buzz-worthy. Frustrated, she felt like another needle in the haystack. After all, what's the point of spending loads of time on a blog that no one reads?
However, after a good friend, pastry chef Albane Sharrard, asked her to photograph her latest pastry collection for some promotional materials, Evi got an idea. What if they regularly collaborated to feature both of their work? They had worked together in the past and always enjoyed the creative collaboration. And so their gorgeous joint blog, Whip+Click, was born. They share in the planning, content creation and operations in addition to the promotion. And while it's certainly more fun to do it together, it's also easier – as the very act of partnering creates a good amount of focus and accountability for them. The benfits have been far beyond what they imagined. They were initially looking to lighten their workload, but they've actually ended up creating something big, beautiful, and wonderful in its own right. It's half the work, twice the fun, and significantly more than that in terms of return. In addition to significantly strengthening her online presence and brand, the blog has garnered a lot of interest and directly created several important relationships too. It's truly a 1+1 = 3 kind of thing.
Catch up on Lesson 1 (Focus) from yesterday and stay tuned for Lesson 3 and 4 this week. Or, if you just can't wait, check out the full version on Forbes.

Ocean Modelling
The journal impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which the average article in a journal has been cited in a particular year. The impact factor helps you evaluate a journal's relative importance, especially when you compare it to others in the same field. To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2012 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years.© 2012 Thomson Reuters, 2012 Journal Citation Reports®
Editor-in-Chief:W.A. Perrie
Aims & Scope
The main objective of Ocean Modelling is to provide rapid communication between those interested in ocean modelling, whether through direct observation, or through analytical, numerical or laboratory models, and including interactions between physical and biogeochemical or biological phenomena. Because of the intimate links between ocean and atmosphere, involvement of scientists interested in influences of either medium on the other is welcome. The journal has a wide scope and includes ocean-atmosphere interaction in various forms as well as pure ocean results. In addition to primary peer-reviewed papers, the journal provides review papers, preliminary communications, and discussions. Authors are invited to submit datafiles, model animations or other electronic-only information in support of their submission.
To speed up the review process, all authors are requested to submit their paper electronically. Important: If you are submitting an article prepared with Microsoft Word containing embedded math equations then please read this related support information (click here).
Ocean Modelling is the successor of the SCOR WG 49 newsletter. In 1999, the journal was relaunched as peer-reviewed journal, focussing on fast electronic publication of articles, supported by non (paper) publishable, electronic items.
Benefits to authors
We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more. Please click here for more information on our author services.

What does abnormal preteen girl behavior look like? What are red flags in terms of sexual and social development for a 10 yr old only child?
If a 10 year old girl who has breasts displays touching and gazes into her father's eyes while caressing his face or prefers adults to groups of peers or freaks when not the center of the attention how do you handle it? How do you handle it when it feels she is copying you (the step-mom) in terms of behavior, mannerisms, looks? My 10 year old step daughter is manipulating & passive aggressive. She also will not leave her Dad alone in social situations and is constantly trying to gain his favor. Why? How do I tell him I feel uncomfortable and I don't feel it is socially acceptable for her to caress him or have him spoon her anymore in a cuddling way that resembles the way he spoons me? Am I freaking out for no reason? She has bigger breasts than me and it is disgusting to me when they greet with kisses on the lips or when she plays with his hair and gazes into his eyes and would rather hang out with him and the adults instead of her peers. THen she goes into panic attacks and can't function and is whiney and a constant shadow. She starts middle school in September! Should I be worried? Her real mom treats her like a playmate and thinks it is cute that her daughter "stinks." She is with us every other week. She is dirty and stinky on the weeks she is not with us. I have a 7 year old daughter and do not want her being influenced. What do I do? How do I tell them this is not normal behavior!

RDF Applications with Prolog
|Table of Contents
Using RDF with SWI-Prolog
In the first article in this series, I explained some of the semantics of RDF via Prolog (and vice versa). In this article, I'll explore some of the nitty-gritty of working with RDF in Prolog using the SWI-Prolog system.
Using RDF with SWI-Prolog
SWI-Prolog is a fast, robust, and free open-source Prolog system with great support for XML and RDF. It's being used as an inference engine for Mozilla and in several other RDF projects. With the release of SWI-Prolog 4.0.0 the graphics, GUI, and object library XPCE have been bundled in. XPCE is a rich and powerful cross-platform (Windows and Unixen) toolkit with a number of immediately useful demos, including various drawing systems, a partial HTML renderer, a help system, and an Emacs clone.
All in all, a wonderful system both for play and for serious work, and for play that becomes serious work!
A good example application of SWI-Prolog's RDF support is the online RDF parser demo. Here you can upload or paste RDF documents in RDF/XML syntax and get an HTML table presentation of the statements. Even with its few quirks, I find it handy for debugging RDF documents (indeed, somewhat handier than the oft-recommended RDFviz, especially for anything other than small documents).
First Steps with SWI-Prolog's RDF Tools
SWI-Prolog comes bundled with several modules for parsing RDF/XML and manipulating the result at various levels of detail and convenience. Assuming you have a SWI-Prolog 4.0.x installation running, you can load the bundled modules by typing at the "command", (ie. query), prompt:
and hitting enter. On my machine, it prints back:
% library(sgml) compiled into sgml 0.27 sec, 12,536 bytes % uri compiled into uri 0.00 sec, 1,804 bytes % rewrite compiled into rewrite 0.00 sec, 5,716 bytes % rdf_parser compiled into rdf_parser 0.17 sec, 24,168 bytes % library(gensym) compiled into gensym 0.00 sec, 2,096 bytes % rdf_triple compiled into rdf_triple 0.06 sec, 10,924 bytes % library(rdf) compiled into rdf 0.56 sec, 56,080 bytes
In other words, all the modules on which the RDF library depends get loaded. The library(sgml) module handles SGML, HTML, and XML parsing, and it's quite nifty in its own right.
In Prolog lingo, to load a file that contains a knowledge
base/list-of-definitions is to consult it. The square
brackets are just a bit of syntactic sugar for this process. The
consulting involves reading each clause, perhaps doing a bit
of processing on the read terms, and then asserting the
clause into the Prolog knowledge base. Consulting a file puts all of
its predicates right into the global knowledge base, which can be a
problem if there are conflicts. Fortunately, SWI-Prolog has a
module system and, as one can see above, facilities for indicating
and managing dependencies. Thus, it might have been better to have
use_module(library(rdf)). instead of (the syntactic
sugar for)
consult(library(rdf). above, but in the
current context it doesn't really matter.
Prolog predicates are distinguished by name and arity
(i.e., number of permissible arguments). So you'll see things like
etc. Each of these is a completely different predicate. This may feel
odd to folks used to the possibility of having optional and defaulted
arguments (e.g., as in Python), but it works out very well in

Lance Armstrong, like many athletes before him and many who will come after, is forced to answer doping allegations which will come Thursday in a discussion with Oprah Winfrey.
Whether it's the fans' fault for imposing such lofty expectations, the media's for looking the other way for so long or the athletes who really believe an illusion can last a career, doping has become far too prevalent in sports.
The 41-year old who had his titles and accolades stripped will sit down with Winfrey for what fans hope are candid and honest remarks about doping.
While he is the biggest name to be ascribed to performance-enhacing drugs at the moment, he is hardly the first and will most assuredly not be the last.
Here is a breakdown of the biggest names in all of sports to have been associated with doping. Please feel free to chime in with people you felt were excluded or just thoughts on the ones provided.
We really must listen to the kids from Bayside who taught us years ago, there is no hope with dope, or for our purposes, doping.

Understand Consumer Behavior, Watch Referral Traffic Pour In

Due to numerous inquiries about our puppies it is difficult to return all phone calls. We request that all initial inquires are made through email. Thank you!
I have been raising Cockapoos since 1988.
Our Cockapoos are 1st generation crossbred, that is both parents are purebred within their breed, generally the Poodle is the sire and the Cocker Spaniel is the dam. Adults mature to 10 to 30 lbs. depending on the size of the parents and the sex of the puppy.
Their hair grows very long and does not shed. They generally require grooming every 2 to 4 months depending on the desired length of hair. Since they do not shed, they are excellent for families with allergies or asthma. They come in a variety of colors: buff, red, chocolate, black, white, and a variety of parti-colors. We tend to have mostly creams, buffs, reds and some spotted varieties.
The temperament of my Cockapoos is very outgoing and friendly. They get the intelligence of the Poodle, and the sturdiness of the Cocker. The puppies are well socialized with children, cats, and dogs. They are very playful, and they enjoy fetching and playing with toys.
They are very patient and tolerant with children, and because they like to play and are durable, children like them.
If we have had one complaint about our dogs, it is that they are too friendly. They may bark to alert you of an intruder, but they would probably go home with the robber!
I prefer that you e-mail me at email@example.com or email me your address and I will send you photos and general information. If you don't have e-mail you may call me at: (540) 239-0899 (home)/(540) 382-5042.
