Puppy Training my husband
My GSD is a 8 month old black male named Gunther. I have no behavioral problems with him, however my husband has a big one. My husband can not walk freely around the house without Gunther wanting to play bite his ankles. My husband says "stop" a few times and then gets extremely angry and yells at Gunther who then runs off looking confused. I do not have this happen to me on the level my husband does. On the rare time Gunther does want to get in my way I stop walking and order him away and he walks off and finds a toy.
I believe the issues lie in the fact that my husband only plays games that involve chasing, stomping his feet, and wrestling with Gunther. My husband has not done any training with Gunther. I play by hiding treats or myself around the house and having him come find me. I do also wrestle and play tug of war with Gunther but never is any part of my body an option for play. Every trick that Gunther knows has been taught by me. I have tried explaining to my husband that the pup attacks his feet because that is one of the ways that they play. My husband states (and I think truly believes) that they were not playing that way at the moment, therefore Gunther should know better.
I really would just like to hear if anyone has any advice on how to make this issue go away. I am getting sick of seeing Gunther get yelled at for something I believe is not his fault.
I think 8 months is a little too old to be biting ankles, so I feel your husband's frustration. I also rough-house with our boy, but he knows that body parts are off-limits. So, I'm not sure that it's the style of play that's bringing this on... I think it's more that the behavior has been deemed acceptable, so Gunther continues to do it.
That being said, I don't think him yelling at Gunther is the most effective remedy. That is giving Gunther exactly what he wants--attention. At his age, he is old enough to know better. Any teeth making impact on a body part would result in an immediate 'time out.' Play stops right now, and your husband walks away and ignores him completely (on the flip side, Gunther could also be led to a different room for the time out. Whichever works easiest at the time.)
I would also try to get your husband involved in some of the training. It doesn't have to be anything difficult. But I think training would forge a better bond and show that your husband is something more than a chew toy.
Seems pretty simple. The dog sees the wife as the pack leader and the husband as a littermate -- the husbands lack of interest is why the puppy is at his feet -- channel the energy yourself -- you can't change your husband -- he's not interested.
Seems like a unique situation and you have a fantastic dog -- the dog is there to protect you -- more so than your husband and that's where his attention is ..

Gift suggestions for the wine lovers in your life.
If there's a wine lover on your Christmas list and you're stuck for ideas, panic not. Here are some ideas to suit buffs to beginners, that range from stocking fillers to more significant gifts. And if you don't want to brave the hordes in the shops, almost all of these can be purchased online.
Top flight box
Kidnapper Cliffs is the relatively new collaborative venture between highly regarded wineries, Hawkes Bay's Te Awa and Martinborough's Dry River. Drawing fruit from Te Awa's mature Hawkes Bay vineyards, its instigators describe this super-premium project as marrying "prime Te Awa terroir to Dry River's methodical, terroir-focused approach to fine wine production". The result has been an extremely impressive run of wines, six of which have been gathered together in a limited six-bottle box set. This comprises a mini vertical of the three initial vintages of its Ariki merlot cabernet sauvignon (the 2007, 2008 and 2009), its 2009 malbec, 2009 cabernet franc and 2010 Solan sauvignon blanc-based blend. $290. (Available at Caro's.)
Big is beautiful
When selecting a really special bottle for a gift, look beyond the mainstream 750ml to larger formats. Not only does their limited production give them extra collectable appeal, wine takes longer to mature in a bigger bottle, which makes them particularly well suited to cellaring. Though more common in the traditional wine producing nations of the world, some of our greatest wines now come in magnums. My Christmas pick is Pegasus Bay's excellent Waipara pinot noir 2007 which can be bought as a boxed magnum for $120 or the more super-sized and super-rare, 3000ml jeroboam at $295.
Keep it chilled
A winery boasting one of the most attractive gift presentations this Christmas is Central Otago's Akarua. It has put its fabulously silky and cherry fruit-packed standard pinot noir with its elegantly impressive reserve in a chic chiller bag. $79.90. (From Glengarry.)
Hankering for a hamper
Hampers that include wine also make great gifts for the oenophiles in your life. Though many companies offering hampers select the wine for you, the flexible folk at online wine gift specialists Wineplus allow you to pick your own in the baskets they offer.
One particularly pleasant option is the Pamper Indulgence Gift Basket, which includes a Linden Leaves travel set with six holiday essentials as well as hand-made chocolates, a scented candle and a bottle of your choice.
Before you choose the wine from their list of good producers, the basket weighs in at $135. Add something like the delicious Siefried Sweet Agnes sticky and it will set you back $161.95; or splurge on a luxurious bottle of Champagne Perrier Jouet's prestige vintage cuvee, Belle Epoque and it comes out at $364.95.
Another tempting hamper is Glengarry's Luscious Late Night Treat box ($79 from Glengarry). This is packed with Molly Woppy gingerbread men, Devonport Chocolates, the tasty Quinta De La Rosa Tawny Port (750ml) and a couple of the ultra-practical stemless, Riedel O to Go white wine glasses.
Exciting wine edibles
Wine appears in presents in many guises. If you're not sure about buying an actual bottle, a wine-infused food product can make an appropriate present. Wild Appetite produce a selection of New Zealand wine-based jellies - a riesling, merlot and shiraz (or should that be syrah?) - that are great with cheese ($9.95 available online) as well as a deliciously decadent Strawberry and Champagne Chocolate Sauce ($14.95), that contains real French champagne.
Situated in pinot noir country, Central Otago gourmet preserve maker Provisions is behind scrumptious jars of cherries in pinot noir syrup ($10 from Nosh, Farro Fresh and Provisions), which is great as a dessert or with red meats or duck. This is now available in "The Cherry Box", a wooden box which also features the company's cherry chilli sauce, cherry and vanilla jam and dried cherries ($38.50).
A winery offering some creative wine confectionary is Sileni. It has teamed up with Invercargill's Seriously Good Chocolate Company to tackle the tricky task of making seriously good truffles that contain their wines. These include the sumptuous Sileni Merlot truffles made with dark chocolate and filled with dark chocolate ganache, white chocolate chardonnay truffles filled with dark chocolate ganache and exciting Late Harvest Truffles, made from dark chocolate and filled with dark chocolate ganache. These pair perfectly with the wine they contain, the classic Sileni Estate Selection Late Harvest semillon 2010 ($20 for 375ml). All the chocolates come in gift pouches priced $13.50 or boxed at $16.
Christmas-clad champagnes
Though I was pipped to the post in recommending Piper-Heidsieck's super sexy Jean Paul Gaultier dressed bottle, the house also has other seductive seasonal offerings, such as the Piper-Heidsieck Champagne Brut Christmas Skin NV, a seriously good bottle of bubbly in a lipstick-red faux crocodile skin sheath ($54.90 from Glengarry) or its liveried bottle accompanied by a matching red ice bucket ($59.90 from Glengarry).
Champagne house Moet & Chandon have gone for a classy gold ribboned gift box for the classic Brut NV ($79.90 from selected fine wine stores). Once opened, the reusable isotherm container doubles up as a gilded wine cooler to keep your champagne cold.
A good guide
For those in need of some oenological assistance, respected wine scribe Michael Cooper has just bought out his 2012 Buyer's Guide to New Zealand Wines ($39.99, published by Hodder Moa). This year the tome turns 20, and is now larger than ever, containing a comprehensive guide to the country's wine.

Glad things worked out for you. Another 2 or 3 hundred trouble free rounds and you'll have a proven carry piece.

This is about my American Classic Commander 1911 I have had for some months now. I have put 450 rounds through her now, with 1 FTF and 3 FTE (Stovepipes). Never with my carry ammo though which is a plus. In an effort to help with the issues I purchased a Wilson Combat Spring Kit for the gun including a 20# recoil spring, lighter mains spring (hammer spring), and heavier firing pin spring. The kit says it is "tuned" which is marketing hype but whatever.
Just put another 100 rounds through it this evening after installing the springs and I am happy to report no failures! And the by product of this procedure was a noticeable increase in accuracy (see pics) both targets were at 7 yards and the three holes across the bottom of the FBI targt were from a triple tap I tried (still learning muzzle contro). But this is about 1 to 1.5" tighter than any previous session. Figure each target had around 40 rounds on it.
Anyways, just thought I would share. For under $20, that spring kit was a GREAT addition to my budget 1911.
Glad things worked out for you. Another 2 or 3 hundred trouble free rounds and you'll have a proven carry piece.
Freedom doesn't come free. It is bought and paid for by the lives and blood of our men and women in uniform.

Thanks for the review on the spring kit. I am actually looking at that kit for my RIA officer.

Looks like your going to be a happy camper. It always takes me 800 to 1000 rounds before I felt a 1911 was "broke in".
Yea, my M&P deal sort of just "happened". I just think I need to wait to get a "good" 1911 and those run $1500 or more. My $450 Phillipino experiment didn't go so well. I had fun, but in the end, it just wasn't reliable enough for EDC. Also, the M&P is made in America and will be 100% reliable. But I will go back to an Ed Brown Cobra Carry one day when I have $1500 I don't need laying around! Love 1911's, but for what I need it for, the M&P will serve me just fine.

An efficient public key management system : an application in vehicular ad hoc networks
Shen, Pei-Yuan, Liu, Vicky, Tang, Maolin, & Caelli, William (2011) An efficient public key management system : an application in vehicular ad hoc networks. In Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems (PACIS), AIS Electronic Library (AISeL), Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Qld, p. 175.
Accepted Version
(PDF 562kB)
The major purpose of Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) is to provide safety-related message access for motorists to react or make a life-critical decision for road safety enhancement. Accessing safety-related information through the use of VANET communications, therefore, must be protected, as motorists may make critical decisions in response to emergency situations in VANETs. If introducing security services into VANETs causes considerable transmission latency or processing delays, this would defeat the purpose of using VANETs to improve road safety. Current research in secure messaging for VANETs appears to focus on employing certificate-based Public Key Cryptosystem (PKC) to support security. The security overhead of such a scheme, however, creates a transmission delay and introduces a time-consuming verification process to VANET communications.
This paper proposes an efficient public key management system for VANETs: the Public Key Registry (PKR) system. Not only does this paper demonstrate that the proposed PKR system can maintain security, but it also asserts that it can improve overall performance and scalability at a lower cost, compared to the certificate-based PKC scheme. It is believed that the proposed PKR system will create a new dimension to the key management and verification services for VANETs.

Published: 2013-01-15, by Ana Gracia.
This application, Last Message, focuses on an important thing that has worried us all sometime: what happens if your phone battery dies and you need to talk to someone and you won't be back home for hours?
The creators of this app believe that is important to let you know your contacts when you won't be able to be contacted because of low battery. And what does it do? Last Message runs in the background, monitoring your battery and can be set to notify through the most common social networks and services (Facebook, Twitter, SMS, Mail) that you might not be able to respond the messages. The message sent surely can be customized and the contacts will also be selected by you. The level of battery at which the message is sent can be chosen in the settings section, too.
As well as its main features, Last Message includes advance features, like Statistics or Information about the device battery. Fat Brain is the developer of Last Message. a helpful tool that is extremely useful nowadays, since our phone battery doesn't last very long. What would we add? The possibility of sending what's app messages apart from mails and sms, wouldn't it be great?
It requires an Android 2.2 or higher.

Lupe Fiasco to collab with Clint Dempsey
ICYMI, Lupe Fiasco was recently named music director for U.S. Soccer for the upcoming World Cup this summer. A breakdown of the news via Lupe himself can be viewed above as he sat down at length with FOX Sports to also talk about his personal relationship with soccer and reveal a new collab along the way with soccer star and (apparently) rapper Clint Dempsey. This one should be interesting to say the least and should impact sometime this summer to coincide with U.S. Soccer's World Cup run.

Clausen, projected by most to be selected in the draft's first round (32 picks), was taken 48th overall by the Carolina Panthers.
Clausen is the eighth Notre Dame player to be drafted in the second round since the turn of the century. The group includes DE Anthony Weaver in 2002, Julius Jones and Courtney Watson in 2004, Anthony Fasano in 2005, Victor Abiamiri in 2007, and John Carlson and Trevor Laws in 2008.
The program has had just two players drafted in the first round over that span: Jeff Faine in 2003 and Brady Quinn in 2007.
Clausen emerged as a college star last season after an uneven 2008 campaign, throwing for 28 touchdowns vs. just 4 interceptions as a true junior in '09. He completed 68 percent of his passes for 3,722 yards and directed four 4th quarter comebacks for the 6-6 Irish.
Clausen's classmate Golden Tate likely expected his second round selection. Tate joins new Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll in Seattle for the 2010 season.
Tate set or tied six school records in 2009: most receptions (93) and receiving yards (1,496) in a season; tied for most touchdown catches in a season (15), most receiving yards in a career (2,707), most career 100-yard receiving games (14), and most single-season 100-yard receiving games (9).
His 18 total touchdowns in 2009 ties him for the second highest (official) single-season total in program history.

Context on Wednesday's Rally
Now that was a nice day. The S&P 500 closed with its third-biggest percentage gain of the year at 3.13%. That's the best since May 27 when the S&P surged by 3.3% driven in part by the perception that the market had overshot to the downside in the face of a relatively healthy U.S. economy. So far, the best percentage gain of the year came on May 10, when the news of the eurozone bailout sent the S&P up by 4.4%. For the record, year-to-date, the S&P is still down 4.9%.

The day after our arrival we arranged tipper trucks to pull our trucks out and get the material safe to Zambezi
Because we couldn't arrange everything in 3 days somebody has to stay to sort things out. Ofcourse that was Jorg (or Mr. J how I am called often J). I stayed for a week to make sure the trucks got out, arrange transportation of the material to Ndola (800 km away), look for a storage location in Zambezi town, creating 3 presentations for buyers and partners, fixing documents such as police clearance, etc.. I didn't have a car so I walked a lot in these week which also resulted in a lot of eager Zambians who would like to work for me. I am the only white man in town who is arranging things and buying equipment so people see an opportunity to make money.
After a very busy week where I worked every day sometimes starting at 4 am and finishing at 11 pm and also working on Sunday I could go back to Lusaka, home.

Beasley Broadcast Group has reported its fiscal results for the first quarter of 2014. Overall net revenue dipped by 2.4 percent, from $24.8 million a year ago to $24.2 million. The decline was attributed to lower ad revenue at Beasley's Miami-Ft. Lauderdale and Philadelphia stations.
Station operating income fell by 12.2 percent to $7.1 million, attributed to the lower net revenue and a 2.4 percent increase in station operating expenses, in part due to last fall's acquisition of KVGS/Las Vegas. Operating income was down 22.3 percent to $4.2 million, while net income dropped 71.8 percent from $2.4 million to $0.7 million.
George G. Beasley, Chairman/CEO, commented "The first quarter decline in net revenue reflects several factors that primarily impacted our three largest markets, including the severe winter weather which had a negative effect on our operations in the northeast.
"Overall, for our five markets that report to Miller Kaplan -- which represent approximately 77 percent of total first quarter revenue -- Beasley station cluster revenue declined by 4.3 percent, while the total revenue for all reporting radio stations in these markets decreased by 0.3 percent for the quarter. In Philadelphia, our cluster underperformed the market for the first time since mid-2012 as business was significantly impacted by the severe winter weather that pressured billings, particularly among our local customers, and caused our stations to close for the equivalent of approximately three business weeks during the first quarter. In Miami, the first quarter underperformance largely relates to the revenue decline at our AM Sports Talk station following the departure of a popular afternoon host. On April 1, we addressed this situation directly by re-launching our afternoon drive programming with the addition of another highly rated Miami sports talk show host from a direct competitor in the market. Notwithstanding the challenges endured in the first quarter, our ratings and market position in both Philadelphia and Miami remain strong.
"A final factor which negatively impacted first quarter revenue results was the completion of comprehensive training for our sales team regarding our new digital and NTR initiatives. While this training took our sales teams away from customers for several days, we believe it was essential to drive growth in these areas of our business going forward. Our planned investments in sales and programming and the expansion of our digital offerings, combined with the revenue decline, led to a 12.2 percent decline in first quarter 2014 SOI compared to year-ago levels."

|Home > Opinion > Janet McCalman > Article
Educated people can be very confident of their own opinions. Growing numbers of mothers with university degrees consider they know more about the human immune system than do doctors who recommend immunisation against whooping cough, measles and diphtheria. Whooping cough, which is a dire killer of young babies in particular, needs a comparatively small number of hosts to survive.
The Prince of Wales only has to declare his preference for unpasteurised milk for sufficient people to push sales of raw milk to the point where bovine tuberculosis is back in Britain.
The British have a long tradition of anti-science activism, from the anti-vaccinationists, who opposed smallpox needles as an abuse of English liberty, to the anti-vivisectionists, who deplored the cruel sacrifice of animals to laboratory science.
Today such activism is still growing: campaigns for animal liberation and protection of the environment, campaigns against genetic modification of plants and animals. Democracy depends on such activism. Suppression of debate only has the far more damaging effect of destroying trust. And this is why the public face of science in Britain is in such strife.
The mistakes, however, were never just scientific mistakes. In the case of BSE, they were political: an unwillingness to act at the time of a national election; a reluctance to antagonise farmers and vested interests with tighter regulation of stock management, feeding and disease.
One of the reasons First-World people had more confidence in science in the early 1960s, especially when it affected human health, was that antibiotics had been conquering infections for less than a generation. No one expected every problem to have a solution.
Most remembered what life had been like before biomedicine's great leap forward during World War II. They recalled people who died from infected splinter wounds, septic teeth and whooping cough. They also remembered how collective safety in wartime depended on collective discipline of citizens, industry and government. They were well schooled in a culture of regulation.
But memory fades. Neo-classical economics advocated a new culture of deregulation, where market forces could be relied on to guarantee the most efficient and profitable outcomes. Regulation clogged the works, inhibited enterprise and creativity. It was stuffy, old-fashioned, negative. It also gave too much power to white-coated backroom boys who weren't business-savvy.
The disaster with BSE and food contamination in First-World societies (200,000 cases of food poisoning and 14 deaths a day in the US) was only possible because regulatory regimes had been undermined. Turning cows into cannibals and eaters of chicken excreta broke fundamental biological rules, and humans are now paying a terrible price.
None of this, however, is an argument for less science. On the contrary, it is a signal for more, especially as part of the public discourse of democracy. Citizens must be able to participate in public conversations about science, not simply be passive recipients of snazzy science communication and spin-doctoring.
We need spaces in public life where scientists and laypeople can each practise citizenship through exchange and inquiry. We need scientists to be public intellectuals and we need to be able to trust their integrity in the pursuit of basic science without a shopping list of miracle cures and magic solutions.
But the implementation of scientific discoveries concerns us all, and it is there that science and citizenship must flourish.

The Maven
ONCE upon a midnight inquiry, while I pondered sprite and cheery,
Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the late October
And the quick and certain passing of each ticker symbol
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Back into the office turning, all my soul within me burning,
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
Soon this pin-striped Maven did dampen my Foolish fancy,
The Maven, sitting lonely on the famous bust, spoke only
Startled at the stillness broken by the reply so aptly spoken,
But the Maven still dampening all my Foolish fancy,
Then methought the air grew denser, blackened by an unseen cancer
"False prophet!" said I, "thing of evil! -- false prophet still, if man or
Dancing Bear,
"False prophet!" said I, "thing of evil -- false prophet still, if man or
"Be that word our sign in parting, man or fiend," I shrieked, upstarting.
And the Maven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
For that shadow that lies floating, floating on the office floor
But, instead, Foolish -- forevermore.
Happy Halloween!

Eventually we need to do a high end break (will probably do 2 during the course of the year).
Just for everyones information, a master case of TTT ran us about $3250 last year. Pretty difficult for us to do this and still break something each month. So that can pretty much be thrown out the window.
A lot of people (myself included) are against doing half cases or individual boxes.
So here are our options (2012 Heritage is already set for March and 2012 Bowman is already set for May) there wasn't an official poll for Bowman, but if you go back in the thread, a large number of people indicated they wanted 2012 Bowman for May.
I will post a poll if need be, but think we can just do it here if we get enough input
1) High end master case in April (Tribute or Museum Collection)
2) Continue as is, break Heritage in March, nothing in April and 1 case of 2012 Bowman/ 1 case of 2012 Archives in May (2012 Bowman will be the constant, the other case can be interchangeable). This means high end product in June or July.
3) Do a half case of Tribute/Museum Collection with club funds and those that wish to add funds can do so in April. (This would mean only 2012 Bowman for May)
See the bolded part, I will start a poll if need be, but thought we could do this in the thread. Apparently not.
I will start a poll in the next day or two trying to figure out what we want to do for April/May. Are the 3 choices I came up with okay for the group or should I come up with 5 or 6 more?
I thought I took a combination of the ideas and tried to group them together to make a few easy options to vote on.

Guest Post by Andrew from Match Next
Our 4th graders start every math class by practicing math facts for 8 minutes. Some use Reflex Math, but most use Anki, a flashcard software I reviewed back in November. Anki is essentially a digital replacement of the plastic-baggie/ring of index cards. And in theory, it can help you decide when you need to re-study a card based on how well you tell the program you knew it, though we don't rely on that feature much because our 4th graders wildly overestimate their mastery of the facts.
In my first Anki blog, I rated the program a 6 out of 10. It definitely beats paper flashcards, but it's far from perfect. But we've tinkered a lot, and now I think it's a 7. Today I'll describe our 'hacks.'
Brief review of how the program works:
Anki is designed to help people more efficiently study a set of flashcards.
Imagine you're a kid studying a card. You look at the 'front,' think about it, then turn it over to check your answer. In Anki, when you 'flip' the card over to check whether you were right, you need to choose 1 of 3 options:
1. Soon (i.e. show me the card again asap)
2. Good (i.e. see it again, but not immediately)
3. Easy (i.e. see it tomorrow)
Here's what that screen looks like:
Depending on which option you select, the program will keep track of how soon to show it to you again. Easy card = longer wait; hard card = shorter wait. This idea - easier cards get more time between exposures and vice versa - is called 'spaced repetition.' The goal is to review the item right when you're about to forget it.
Fact Families + deck issues:
We sort of scrapped the 'spaced repetition' approach. Two reasons:
1. Because the program relies on student self-reporting, it only works if they're very accurate about their own assessment of their mastery. And many of them are not. They'd slip up on a fact or take too long to get it right, but still mark themselves as knowing the fact well (i.e. click 'Good' or 'Easy'). We're trying to train them better on this, but for now we can't rely on it.
2. Since we couldn't rely on self-reporting, the default spaced repetition component of the program kept preventing us from having kids review cards over and over. From the program's perspective, it wasn't yet the 'optimal' time to review, so why burden you with unnecessary cards?
Instead of relying on the 'space repetition,' we carefully grouped certain facts into 'Fact Families,' and wanted to use Anki to get the kids as many reps as possible. (We actually stole this 'grouping' idea from Reflex Math). It was way more reasonable for us to set it up this way, rather than figuring out the 'spacing' for each individual kid and hope they were accurate at reporting their mastery.
Once we started using Fact Families and ramping up the reps, though, we ran into some serious problems with the program. Here's what I wrote in the first blog:
There's a ton of backend upkeep and maintenance required...Sometimes a student 'finished' studying all the cards in a deck, meaning no facts were scheduled to be restudied until the next day. But sometimes we'd have 2 minutes left of Anki studying and just wanted a kid to review a hard deck. Anki wouldn't let you. Imagine having your flashcards taken from you and being told that you literally couldn't study them anymore. Not cool. The only way to circumvent this problem was to delete the deck from the user's profile, then reupload it as if it was a new deck. Very cumbersome...
So, our 'hacks':
Actually, before we tell you 'hacks,' let me explain how Anki organizes and shows the cards. I didn't totally understand this at first, then when I did, I was able to hack it much more effectively.
Anki's default setting is that every deck has 2 'steps,' then a review pile. All the cards start at step 1. Then, based on how well you report knowing a card (by clicking 'soon,' 'good,' or 'easy) the program either
1. keeps the card at step 1
2. moves it to step 2, or
3. puts in it the 'Review' pile.
For example, if a kid hits easy, this happens:
If a student clicks 'good,' the card does this:
If the kid clicks 'Good' when the card is on the last step, the card will get placed in the 'Review' pile, just as if she clicked 'Easy' on an early 'step 1' card.
For any card, if the student clicks 'Soon,' the card remains on the same step and they'll see it again before the program moves on.
When a kid clicks 'good' to move a card from 'step 1' to 'step 2,' he's telling the program that he thinks he knows the flashcard, and therefore can wait a bit before seeing it again. The length of time she waits to see the card again is the 'space' in spaced repetition. In Anki, the default space for 'step 2' was 10 minutes, which was way too long a wait for our kids to see the card again.
The default space for 'step 1' is 1 minute. So if a student decided to click 'soon,' she'd have to wait at least 1 minute before seeing the same card – also way too long for the student to see the same card if they need to re-review it asap.
Our solutions:
1. Disallow kids from clicking the "Easy" button when they flip the card, even if they thought the math fact was easy. We realized the main reason our kids kept running out of cards was because they were clicking Easy and losing cards to the "Review" pile. We still pushed them to push click 'soon' if they thought they didn't know the card, but if they thought they knew it, they could only click 'good.'
2. Add more steps:
Adding steps just requires going to the Options page within a deck. You can add as many steps as you'd like (we put about 30). To add a step, you need to tell the program what decimal of 1 minute you want the student to wait before seeing the card again. So let's say a student has a flashcard on step 10, and you set step 10 for '.5,' the student will have to wait at least 30 seconds before seeing the card again.
(*this incorporates a little of the 'spaced repetition.' as the steps got higher, we made the time intervals longer, but we didn't exhaust ourselves trying to figure out each student's optimal 'spacing.')
Here's what it looks like to add them in the Options menu:
3. Create multiple copies of the same decks. If a kid finished the deck they were studying, they wouldn't have to just sit around - they could just open one of the spares. This was sort of a final option - adding more Steps and preventing kids from clicking Easy was enough for most of the kids, but there were a few that were finishing their decks so fast that the spares were a nice thing to have.
Next time: I'll describe Kickboard, and how it can be used to track behavior

USC's Ali Named 2011 Pac-10 Female Track Athlete Of The Year
June 27, 2011
USC redshirt senior Nia Ali was named the Pac-10 Female Track Athlete of the Year it was announced by Commissioner Larry Scott today (June 27).
Ali won the 2011 NCAA 100m hurdles title with a time of 12.63w (+2.1) on June 11 in Des Moines, Ia. to help lead the USC women's team to a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Track and Field Championships. Her time was the second-fastest by any female in the U.S. at that time this season. Ali became USC's only individual champion this season and third ever in the event, joining Patty Van Wolvelaere (1977 and 1978) and Virginia Powell (2005 and 2006). Ali also placed sixth in the women's high jump at the NCAA Championships by clearing 5-10.75.
Ali won the 2011 Pac-10 100m high hurdles title on May 14 with a time of 12.77 which bettered her second-place standing on USC' all-time list, trailing only NCAA record-holder Virginia Powell's 12.48. On the same day at the Pac-10 Championships, Ali placed second in the high jump with a clearance at 6-1.25 (1.86m) to move into second place on USC's all-time high jump list.
Ali also ranks second all-time by a Trojan in the heptathlon when she scored 5,824 points at the 2009 Pac-10 Championships. That season she went on to place fourth in the event at the NCAA Championships and earn All-America honors.
Ali, who is a Bowerman Award finalist for the top collegiate track athlete of the year, just competed at the USA Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore. and placed fifth in the finals of the women's 100m hurdles with a time of 12.76. In the preliminaries, Ali won her heat with a PR of 12.73.

Good news for London's conservationists following the news that English Heritage is to stop putting up blue plaques in memory of distinguished residents of the capital.
The National Trust, under its new director-general Dame Helen Ghosh, announces today that it is examining ways of taking on the scheme.
"We will certainly be looking into this," says Ivo Dawnay, London director of the Trust. "It's a complex issue deciding who deserves to be honoured and there are huge sums of money involved but it's of great benefit to London.
"Praise is due to English Heritage for keeping it going for so long in difficult economic times."
There are more than 870 blue plaques in London and each costs an average of £965. The first one, to Lord Byron, went up in 1867. The scheme was started by the Royal Society of Arts, then continued by the London County Council and later the GLC.
EH has suspended its nominations because its funding has been cut from £130 million in 2010-11 to £100 million this year and £92 million next year. Reducing blue plaques will save £120,000 a year.
The advisory panel, including former poet laureate Sir Andrew Motion, broadcaster Bonnie Greer and Stephen Fry, will stand down.
"We will approach this scheme with excitement and enthusiasm," says Dawnay, who is Boris Johnson's brother-in-law. No doubt the Mayor of London will have a blue plaque one day.

Sorry, but we are not able to help you without seeing and/or feeling the bump, and since we are not vets even with that we would be guessing at best. Your best bet is to take him to a veterinarian for a proper diagnose. Good luck!

Maverick answered on 7/10/10. Helpful? / 0
It's very hard to say what this might be. If it appeared overnight, it can be anything from an insect bite or sting to an injury or cyst.
But if it has been getting bigger and has been there a while, it can be anything from a benign fatty tumor (lipoma) or a cancerous tumor.
The best thing to do is to take him to the vet as soon as possible and have the vet give you a definitive diagnosis on what it is.
Labs are prone to lipomas and they do tend to feel squishy or wobbly and not "fixed" like more serious tumors, but again, it's vet time. And don't spend a lot of time touching it. You can make things worse this way and hinder his recovery regardless of what the lump is.
Good luck!

Any large bump on the body should be evaluated by a licensed vet asap.
I would not do anything to it such as irritate it, pop it, or stick anything in it.
I would let the vet tell you what it is and leave it alone.
I hope he is ok. Let us know.

Please take your dog to a vet and have them look at it. They can do tests to determine exactly what it is. They might just do a physical examination, remove a few cells and examine them under a microscope, or send part of it in for a full biopsy. Once you have a diagnosis, the vet can recommend the best treatment, which may include drainage, medication, surgical removal, or just leaving it as it is. It could be one of many different things.
Please do not attempt to treat this yourself without a veterinarian's help . . . depending on what it is, there are very different courses of treatment that need to happen.
Zack had a lump on his leg a few months ago, and I am very thankful for having a skilled, caring veterinarian help me decide what to do. It was worth every penny.

Morph tries to build a PC

Of course as soon as I made him he was up to mischief and with lots of PC bits hanging around, he soon caught the bug. I've hidden my Dremel for the time being in case he fancies and bit of modding. I dare to think how quickly a circular saw attachment can cut through plasticine, pretty quickly I'd imagine.

About the Guild
Bloodbound is a casual raiding guild located on the Silver Hand server of World of Warcraft. Founded on December 9th, 2004, soon after the game's public release, we have been members of the server's Horde community for many years.

Bloodbound is a group of friends who are like family and love playing together. If this interests you, we are always happy to consider new members and any talented player who asks to join.

Savannah Guthrie
It's an exciting time in the life of "Today" anchor Savannah Guthrie, as she and her husband Mike are expecting their second child.
During Tuesday's (June 7) episode of the popular NBC morning show, the 44-year-old broadcaster told the audience, "Mike and I are so excited. We are expecting a baby in December."
There are so many things that go into the live "Today" show broadcast every single day, and the team at NBC decided to make a musical to show viewers exactly what happens. Earlier today (December 29), Kathie Lee Gifford, Hoda Kotb, Matt Lauer, Al Roker and the rest of the cast and crew sang and danced their way through a 14-minute production that was written by Gifford herself.
And as a special added bonus, Kathie Lee's former on-air partner Regis Philbin came out of retirement to make a thrilling guest appearance.
Each year they pull out all the stops with hilarious Halloween ensembles and this morning (October 31) the "Today" show hosts and crew dressed up as their favorite characters from "Saturday Night Live."
Matt Lauer went the asexual route and put on a "Pat" outfit while Al Roker and Lester Holt teamed up as The Blues Brothers.
It's an exciting time for Savannah Guthrie and her husband Mike Feldman said hello their first child on Wednesday morning (August 13).
The "Today" show host and her political consultant hubby named their newborn daughter Vale Guthrie Feldman and she weighed in at 8 pounds 5 ounces and measured 19.5 inches.
It's been a busy weekend for Savannah Guthrie, as she said 'I Do' with fiancé Mike Feldman at a Tucson, Arizona wedding ceremony.
With a guest list that included Matt Lauer, Al Roker, Hoda Kotb and Willie Geist, the "Today" anchor couldn't have asked for a more perfect occasion.
Tinseltown is replete with romance this time of year, and some of our favorite famous folks took to Twitter to share Valentine's Day greetings.
Chris Brown tweeted some love- "HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to all the beautiful women around the world.. Know that you are loved and appreciated !! God bless."
Reaching out to an audience that is in bed before his late night talk show airs, Jimmy Fallon joined Savannah Guthrie on a visit to St. Jude's Children's hospital as part of the "Today" show's Thanks & Giving series.
After doing his best celebrity impressions and dancing to Rihanna songs, the affable host donned a chicken suit and strapped on a guitar to perform for the littlest cancer patients.
It's one of the most beloved holidays of the year, and Halloween brought out some wild and crazy creativity in our favorite stars.
And while there was a surplus of sexy and scary costumes this year, GossipCenter has identified ten of the most memorable disguises.
Ratings wars are fierce between network morning shows, and the "Today" hosts pulled out all the stops with their Halloween costume selections.
Matt Lauer donned a red swimsuit for his Pamela Anderson "Baywatch" impersonation with Carmen Electra and a David Hasselhoff-dressed Willie Geist, while Carson Daly teamed up with legendary actor Erik Estrada for some "Chips" action.
Taking time away from the set of "TODAY," Savannah Guthrie scored a feature in the September 2013 issue of ELLE.
The NBC correspondent opened up about her future with fiance Michael Feldman and the prospect of expanding their family.

My understanding is that this is a electric T-case. If he had a manual 1354 T-case he could just stick the T-case in neutral and forget about it, which can be swapped in with little difficulty. The nice thing about the Ranger T-cases is that they're all interchangeable with each other. He would need the later version, while not super common, there are manual 1354's out there. The difference between the new and old is basically just the front output, the older having a slip yoke, while the newer being fixed yoke.
The hubs shouldn't make a difference. Either will function as normal as far as towing is concerned.
I really don't have any info better than what was posted.
Building an electrical thingamajig to stick it in neutral from scratch will likely be far more trouble than just unbolting the rear driveshaft.
The front driveshaft shouldn't matter.
