Martinique Splendor
Duration: Half Day
So you have explored all of St. Lucia; land and sea and you are wondering what to do with the time you have left. Well you might as well visit other Caribbean islands as long as you are there! Located just north of St. Lucia, the French speaking island of Martinique is only a boat ride away. Come and discover why the island is called the 'Paris of the Caribbean' or 'The Island of Flowers'. The 'Flying Ray' which is a 60ft power catamaran will be your mode of transport for the day. Enjoy just about an hour and a half journey riding across the Caribbean Sea watching the image of St. Lucia gradually fading as the shoreline of Martinique emerges in the horizon.
Disembark in Fort de France which offers great shopping as well as sight-seeing opportunities. French luxury imports are available; Vuitton luggage, Lalique crystal, Limoges dinnerware, liqueurs, French perfumes and designer clothing. Pay in Euros which you can exchange at a local bank. Benefit from Duty free shopping in this charming town, Fort de France which is a slice of France blended with the livelihood of the Caribbean. Islanders wear Paris fashion, eat baguettes and croissants at the corner patisserie yet they possess a culture of their own firmly based on West Indian traditions.
Within a few minutes' walk from the port there are various monuments and landmarks to be seen. At the heart of Fort de France is La Savane, a lovely park adorned by trees and fountains. Along the east side of La Savane there is the historic site of Fort Saint Louis. Wander at your leisure to also discover La Bibliotheque Schoelcher. This outrageously elaborate Romanesque public library was designed by the architect Henri Picq, fabricated in Paris and transported to Martinique. Equally interesting is the Romanesque Cathedrale Saint Louis which was built in 1878. Close to the harbor there is also a marketplace where souvenirs, local crafts and spices are sold.
Rejoin the Flying Ray to cross the Baie de Fort de France to Anse Noire. Enjoy a delicious barbeque lunch onboard and have the opportunity to spot dolphins, sea turtles or a school of flying fish as they gracefully glide across the Caribbean Sea. Beaches are simply amazing to swim, snorkel or to just laze about, getting that tan you may have longed for. This excursion is definitely for the fun lovers ready for new adventures and entertainment. All transfers and departure taxes from St. Lucia and Martinique are included in the price and all beverages are available on board at the boat. Your passport information will be required before 12 noon on the day preceding the tour.
Please note: Bring along your sun tan lotion, cameras, towels, a change of clothing and some cash for souvenirs.

In the final on Tuesday, Team (Clint) Chelf defeated Team (J.W.) Walsh, 36-27.
"It was a good victory," said Chelf, a junior from Enid who will start out as the top quarterback on the spring depth chart after backing up Brandon Weeden the past two seasons.
"It made it a little sweeter that it was against J.W.'s team, but it shows that the two quarterbacks know how to pick teams. It's just good to come out and compete and it was intense. Both teams were really getting after it."
The competition started out dead even as the pull sled was the opening event where each competitor wears a harness and pulls a sled loaded with weights. The event started with defensive end Tyler Johnson for Team Chelf gaining an advantage after a false start by fellow defensive lineman Davidell Collins. Team Walsh took the lead with wins coming from running back Herschel Sims, who really appears to have benefitted from the offseason program, and both linebacker Alex Elkins and wide receiver Charlie Moore. At the end Christian Littlehead's win over Joe Okafor left the event even at four wins each.
Team Chelf found the going good on the push sleds as linebacker Joe Mitchell edged J.W. Walsh in an early heat and Tyler Johnson had similar success with the push sled as he did the pull sled competition. Team Chelf won the even 6-2 and took a 10-6 lead overall.
Team Walsh made a comeback on the 5-10-15 shuttle with Charlie Moore and new Lawton MacArthur walk-on wide receiver Nate Miller scoring wins. In maybe the most impressive heat, running back Joe Randle scored a win at the wire for Team Chelf after Herschel Sims led most of the way. Team Walsh won the event 5-3 to make the score 13-11 in favor of Team Chelf.
The score was reversed on the 5-10-5 cone drill as Team Chelf won by a 5-3 count to lead 18-14 overall heading to the tug-of-war.
The tug-of-war can be a long, drawn out battle, but each team won once with an overwelming weight edge. Team Walsh loaded up with James Castleman, Davidell Collins, Charlie Moore and Joe Okafor on the first tug against a foursome of mostly skill players. Then Team Chelf countered with Blake Jackson, Tyler Johnson, Christian Littlehead and Parker Graham against a smaller group from Team Walsh for a quick win. That left the score 22-18 going to the one-on-one tug event.
This was where Team Chelf took control as linebacker Joe Mitchell defeated Herschel Sims in a hard fought battle. In an even more impressive struggle Tyler Johnson worked and worked to finally get a stubborn Alex Elkins past the line for another win for Team Chelf. In all, Team Chelf won seven of eight battles for a 29-19 lead going to the final two events.
It only took one event for Team Chelf to clinch the victory. Just before the clinching win, the two captains and quarterbacks went head-to-head for the only time all day as Chelf won by a couple of steps coming off the agility drills using the four bags on the ground. You could sense the intense competition. The win was clinched with offensive tackle Parker Graham wiining his heat for Team Chelf over Davidell Collins. The final score would end up 36-27.
"It makes it nice when you picked the team, and I was proud because my guys really wanted to win," added Chelf. "It's nice to finally be a champion in this."
In the other contests Tuesday, Team (Kye) Staley took third place over Team (Brodrick) Brown 36-26. Fifth place went to Team (Cooper) Bassett by virtue of a 36-27 win over Team (Lane) Taylor. Seventh place was decided with a 33-29 win by Team (Shaun) Lewis over Team (Caleb) Lavey.
"I don't think there is any doubt that it is one of the best things that we do for our football team and the coaches," said head coach Mike Gundy.
"It's a very enjoyable experience and it's an opportunity for us to see young men that will have to make plays for us this fall on Saturdays, whether they are a freshman or somebody that didn't get a lot of opportunities for us last year, and let's us see who will compete. Players show up. Justin Blackmon showed up and Nick Martinez showed up in these drills years ago. It is a great measuring stick for where we are going and who we are going to be this fall."
Before Gundy and the coaches get the players for spring football, Glass and his staff have them the rest of the week to conclude the eight-week off-season cycle of training.
Spring football starts with the first of 15 practices next Monday.

A while back I shared with you what my basic, day-to-day devotional routine looked like — my morning prayer complete with tea offering, a mindful midday stop and check in, and my sometimes on, sometimes off evening ritual of 'closing the shrine' and saying goodnight.
I didn't talk much about the yoga, that was my first every conscious devotional activity dictated by Poseidon and give over to Him, which lead to my having a very strong foundation of Poseidon being "very Zen." Yes. Before my experiences with Him could become rooted in the Hellenic past, we'd established that w/We are to, as Odin would eventually come to say, use the tools that are available to u/Us. Yoga was available, and oh did it work.
I didn't talk much about the knitting, or the walking, both of which end up becoming meditation time, and work wonders for quieting my mind so that I can connect. I did't talk much about the various Poseidon festivals that I hold, that are more often than not simple ritual and less "festival", and which are the instances in my life when my connecting with Him is inspired and/or includes elements of past worshippers, of past festivals, of past cultic influences. This is especially interesting this year as He pushes for a less Hellenic focus and is encouraging me to spread my interest across the Mediterranean.
Today, though, I want to talk about the one devotional act that I do that typically does not even attempt to look like it has any connection whatsoever to do with Poseidon. The yoga I can point at and say, well, the connection is there because He is why I even started to seriously pursue yoga. Walking and knitting are just another form of quieting the mind by physical activity, similar enough to goal of the asanas for me to be a sort of yoga-alternative. Lighting candles, burning incense, reciting prayers, doing energy work — these are all pretty obvious "devotional activities". They're important, and I adore them, and they enrich my life, they help bring me closer to Him.
Fictional writing remains the most important devotional act that I perform on a regular basis.
I have a strong connection to Odin, who has an even stronger connection to words and inspiration, who could be seen as having a vested interest in things like storytelling. But it is not Odin who is on my mind when I'm sitting and writing. It's Poseidon. I don't see Him as my muse — I'm not one of those writers who even has a relationship with any sort of being I would call "muse". The stories come as they come, sometimes in what feels like a download to my brain, sometimes with one character or more sitting and talking to me as I write, sometimes as a vague concept that I want to explore. There's no one way.
I have a number of stories written with Poseidon in mind, whether inspired by the stories we know from Hellenic or Roman sources, or by a conversation with Him, or what have you. Most of my writing has nothing at all to do with Him. Despite this, there is not one bit of fiction writing that I do that does not serve to draw me closer to Him, to move me steps further along my path with Him. In part, it's an honoring of who I am, a nurturing of this one thing that has been with me since I could form words upon a page. In part, it's whatever it is in me that allows the stories to come, an opening that is crucial in allowing my connection with Him to stay open and strong and fluid.
Years and years ago, for a brief while, I decided, in order for my writing to truly honor Him, I must write about Him. Non-fiction. Factual. And while I do enjoy writing about Him, that writing is not what keeps the openness open. It's the story telling that does it. The sitting and writing words that may not mention sea or ocean, horses or earthquakes, Greece or paganism, Poseidon, or any gods at all.
For far too long I worried about that. Not whether this was valid or not (because it did what it did, I knew it was valid) but, I worried about that line. Where was the line that divided what was true (my interactions with my gods, etc.) from what was fiction (stories told to me by characters)? It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to reach the conclusion that, at least in my approach, "fiction" is nothing more than a marketing tool. I won't say that all "my" stories are "real". What I say is, it doesn't matter. In my approach, in my world view, stories are stories are stories, and part of their magic is their ability to be both real and not. In my world view, "my" characters are spirits, just like any other spirit, that may or may not interact with other people. At the end of the day, it's not important to me to discern which category this one or that one belongs in. (We do like our boxes, don't we?)
Should I be uncomfortable that the most important devotional act that I perform to help maintain a right relationship with Poseidon does not, at a glance, seemingly have anything at all to do with Him? I don't think so. Truly, it drives home how important it is to my spiritual well being that I continue to write. I don't have to write every day — indeed, my writing schedule works best as a single day of multiple thousand words toward any given project — which leaves me time during the week to pursue other things, as well. But, I know that I can fall out of my daily devotional activities (and I do; the tea sharing is the most consistent) and be more or less okay — that is, our relationship and communication does not suffer. Skip a week or more of writing? I suffer. Our communication suffers. My ability to hear, to connect, to feel open, suffers.
Story telling is a huge part in my maintaining a right relationship, with my spiritual self, with the spiritual world, and, most importantly, with Poseidon. It is, because of o/Our history, because of the established relationship, inherently a part of the foundation of w/Who w/We Are, and yet, at a glance? At a glance, it seems to have no connection whatsoever to Poseidon. Yet another wonderful example of not letting 'should' and 'seeming' hem you in. Bring your gods into your life, and celebrate what you have to offer Them. Tell the world how and where the connections are made, in what you do and Who you worship — don't let people tell you what those connections are, and do not wait on the world to inform you what is or is not acceptable or authentic or valid. These are our connections to forge and find and nurture, and no one else's.

Confession: The first time I remember singing my heart out and dancing to a David Bowie song, it wasn't Starman, or John, I'm Only Dancing, or even Modern Love. It was Magic Dance.
See, I was born a little too late to appreciate Bowie until he came into my life as Jareth the Goblin King in Jim Henson's Labyrinth when I was 8 years old. I loved that movie with every part of my being. I would go through the HBO guide and figure out when it would be on so I could watch it every time. We recorded it onto a VHS so I could watch it when it wasn't on. I wanted to be Sarah so badly. I wanted to go ballroom dancing in a fancy dress with man with crazy hair and tights. But as many times as my 8 year old self would say the words, the right words, Jareth never came. Thankfully, Bowie did. Not long after the start of my Labyrinth obsession I remember seeing the video for the Dancing in the Street duet with Mick Jagger and thinking, "that's Jareth? He's an actual person who sings actual songs without puppets? Sign me up!"
Thus followed decades of Bowie. Laying on the floor of my room in junior high listening to Ziggy Stardust. Imagining the sad beautiful story of Major Tom. Duetting with friends on Under Pressure (I liked to be Freddie). Driving around the orange groves with my cousin singing Young Americans and All the Young Dudes at the top of our lungs. Seeing him blow my mind at Universal Amphitheater during my first year of college. Possibly the best $48 my broke 19 year old self ever spent.
It all came full circle on my 30th birthday, when I watched Labyrinth in the backyard with my friends and our kids, and introduced my 5 year old daughter to the magic. Like me, she was smitten immediately, and watching her dress up in her sparkliest twirliest dress and dance and sing in the living room with Jareth, Sarah, and all those crazy puppets in the years that followed was pretty much the best thing ever. She's 12 now, and too cool to dance in the living room with me anymore, but we did watch Labyrinth last night. After I took the liberty of dancing by myself in the living room for a while and singing my heart out to my favorite Bowie songs.
So I guess I have Jim Henson and Jareth (and my parents and HBO) to thank for being the jumping off point for all those years filled with amazing music and otherwordly spacey fantastical characters. Not to mention for the major life lesson that has stuck with me since the first time I saw that man appear in Sarah's house wearing make up and tights (and presumably a weenie enhancer of some sort), that the only right way to be a human is to be who you are without worrying about what the world thinks of you. This life is made more crazy and fun and beautiful by people who don't conform, who do the unexpected, and create magic for everyone to enjoy. Go out and be weird everybody.

HDTVs / VIZIO S3851w Sound Bar Review
Bookmark: del.icio.us Reddit Google
Reader Comments
With network TV channels, some programs are broadcast in 5.1 surround sound, many aren't. If they aren't, you won't get sound from your satellite speakers, unless you run the audio through an accessory like an AV receiver that can simulate a 5.1 signal from a stereo source.
Doug we have the 3851 satellite speakers do not work with TV (we have cable) they do work with DVD and Netflix etc. spkr check works fine and all connections are OK... would like to watch sports on TV and hear the satellite spkrs too.
The two units supply the same features. The 4251 will have a little more oomph and the subwoofer is slightly larger, but in a medium sized room, you will have enough volume with the 3851.
It sort of boils down to the size of your TV. The length of the 3851 matches a 42" TV better. With a TV over 47", you may want to go with the 4251.
All other things being equal, I would go for the 4251 for only $10 more.
Hope that helps.
Dick De Jong Editor, HDTV Solutions
Richard, Thank you for your assessment of the vizio 3851W 5.1 system. I was looking at both this unit and the vizio 4251W 5.1. Costco has the 3851 on sale for $180 and Sam's has the 4251 on sale for $190. No real price difference. So I guess my question is, is there a difference between the two other than a bigger sound bar cabinet?
Can you tell me if one is better then the other and why?
Thank you again very informative review.

a 36 year of woman has a disease that affects the levels of acetychlorine in her synapses and neuromuscular junctions. what is a potential consequence of this disease
A. deterioration of the sodium potassium pump
b. abnormal conduction of signals of neurons to muscles
c. inability of neurons to depolarize
d. malfunction of the myelin sheath
Since acetylcholine is the only neurotransmitter used in the motor division of the somatic nervous system, we can expect an abnormal conduction of signals of neurons to muscles.

Sociology, the scientific study of the development, structure, and function of human society. Other disciplines within the social sciences—including economics, political science, anthropology, and psychology—are also concerned with topics that fall within the scope of sociology. Sociologists examine the ways in which social structures and institutions—such as class, family, community, and power—and social problems—such as crime—influence society.
Sociological thinking rests on the notion that human beings act according to cultural and historical influences, not their own freely made decisions. They also act and behave according to the wishes and expectations of others. Therefore, social interaction, or the responses of individuals to each other, is perhaps the basic sociological concept, because such interaction is the elementary component of all relationships and groups that make up human society. Sociologists who concentrate on the details of particular interactions as they occur in everyday life are sometimes called micro-sociologists; those concerned with the larger patterns of relations among major social sectors, such as the State and the economy, and even with international relations, are called macro-sociologists.
As a discipline, or body of systematized knowledge, sociology is of relatively recent origin. The concept of civil society as a realm distinct from the State was expressed in the writings of the 17th-century English philosophers Thomas Hobbes and John Locke and of the later thinkers of the Age of Enlightenment (in France and Scotland). Their works anticipated the subsequent focus of sociology, as did the later philosophies of history of the Italian philosopher Giovanni Battista Vico and the German philosopher G. W. F. Hegel with regard to the study of social change.
A Origins
The first definition of sociology was advanced by the French philosopher Auguste Comte. In 1838 Comte coined the term sociology to describe his vision of a new science that would discover laws of human society resembling the laws of nature by applying the methods of factual investigation that had proved so successful in the physical sciences. The British philosopher Herbert Spencer adopted both Comte's term and his mission.
Several 19th-century social philosophers who never called themselves sociologists are today also counted among the founders of the discipline. The most widely influential among them is Karl Marx, but their number also includes the French aristocrat Claude Henri de Rouvroy, Comte de Saint-Simon, the writer and statesman Alexis de Tocqueville and, the British philosopher and economist John Stuart Mill. These people were largely speculative thinkers, as were Comte and Spencer and their predecessors in the 17th and 18th centuries. A quite different tradition of empirical reporting of statistics also developed in the 19th century, and later became incorporated into academic sociology.
B Developments
Not until the 1880s and 1890s did sociology begin to be recognized as an academic discipline. In France, Émile Durkheim, the intellectual heir of Saint-Simon and Comte, began teaching sociology at the universities of Bordeaux and Paris. Durkheim founded the first true school of sociological thought. He emphasized the independent reality of social facts (as distinct from the psychological attributes of individuals) and sought to discover interconnections among these facts. Durkheim and his followers made extensive studies of non-industrial societies similar to those that were later carried out by social anthropologists.
In Germany, sociology was formally recognized as an academic discipline in the first decade of the 20th century, largely because of the efforts of the German economist and historian Max Weber. In contrast with the attempts to model the field after the physical sciences, which were dominant in France and in English-speaking countries, German sociology was largely the outgrowth of far-ranging historical scholarship, combined with the influence of Marxism, both of which were central to Weber's work. The influential efforts of the German philosopher Georg Simmel to define sociology as a distinctive discipline emphasized the human-centered focus of German philosophical idealism.
In Great Britain, sociology was relatively slow to develop; until the 1960s the field was mostly centred on a single academic institution, the London School of Economics, part of the University of London. British sociology combined an interest in large-scale evolutionary social change with a practical concern for problems relevant to the administration of the welfare state.
In the second half of the 20th century, after the early interest in the broad evolutionist theories of Comte and Spencer had declined, sociology emphasized the study of particular social phenomena such as crime, marital discord, and the acculturation of immigrants.
The most notable centre of sociological study before World War II (1939-1945) was the University of Chicago, in the United States. There, the American philosopher George Herbert Mead, who had studied in Germany, stressed in his writings the origins of the mind, the self, and society in the actions and interactions of people. This approach, later known as symbolic interactionism, was largely micro sociological and social psychological in emphasis. In 1937, the American sociologist Talcott Parsons introduced the ideas of Durkheim, Weber, and the Italian sociologist Vilfredo Pareto in his major work The Structure of Social Action, which eventually overcame the narrow, limited outlook of American sociology. Leadership in the field passed to Columbia University, where the American social scientist Robert Merton attempted to unite theory with rigorous empirical (data-gathering) research.
To a growing extent in both the United States and Western Europe, the three dominating figures of Marx, Durkheim, and Weber were recognized as the pre-eminent classical thinkers of the sociological tradition; and their work continues to influence contemporary sociologists.
Sociology was long identified primarily with broad evolutionary reconstructions of historical change in Western societies, as well as with the exploration of relationships and interdependencies among their more specialized institutions and aspects of social life, such as the economy, the State, the family, and religion. Sociology, therefore, was thought of as a synthesizing field that attempted to integrate the findings acquired from other social sciences. Although such concepts concerning the scope and task of sociology are still prevalent, they now tend to be regarded as the province of sociological theory, which is only a part of the entire discipline of sociology.
The sociological theory also includes the discussion and analysis of basic concepts that are common to all the different spheres of social life studied by sociologists. An emphasis on empirical investigations carried out by standardized and often statistical research methods directed the attention of sociologists away from the abstract visions of 19th-century scholars towards more focused and concrete areas of social reality. These areas became the subfields and specialities of sociology that are today the subjects of academic courses, textbooks, and specialized journals. Much of the scholarly and scientific work of sociologists falls clearly within one of the many subfields into which the discipline is divided. In addition to basic concepts, research techniques are shared by most subfields; thus, sociological theory and research methods are both usually compulsory subjects for all who study sociology.
A Subfields
The oldest subfields in the discipline of sociology are those that concentrate on social phenomena that have not previously been adopted as objects of study by other of the social sciences. These include marriage and the family, social inequality and social stratification, ethnic relations, "deviant" behaviour, urban communities, and complex or formal organizations. Subfields of more recent origin examine the social aspects of gerontology and the sociology of sex and gender roles.
Because nearly all human activities involve social relations, another major source of specialization within sociology is the study of the social structure of areas of human activity. These areas of teaching and research include the sociology of politics, law, religion, education, the military, occupations and professions, governmental bureaucracies, industry, the arts, science, language (or sociolinguistics), medicine, mass communications, and sport. These subfields differ widely in the extent to which they have accumulated a substantial body of research and attracted large numbers of practitioners. Some, such as the sociology of sport, are recent fields, whereas others, such as the sociology of religion and of law, have their roots in the earliest sociological studies. Certain subfields have achieved brief popularity, only to be later incorporated into a more comprehensive area. Industrial sociology, for example, was a flourishing field in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s, but later it was largely absorbed into the study of complex organizations; in Great Britain, however, industrial sociology has remained a separate area of research. A more common sociological phenomenon is the splitting of a recognized subfield into narrower subdivisions; the sociology of knowledge, for instance, has increasingly been divided into individual sociologies of science, art, literature, popular culture, and language.
At least two subfields, demography, and criminology, were distinct areas of study long before the formal field of sociology existed. In the past, they were associated primarily with other disciplines. Demography (the study of the size, growth, and distribution of human populations) retains close links to economics in some countries, but in most of the Western world, it is considered a subdivision of sociology. Criminology has in recent decades been affected by general sociological concepts and perspectives, becoming more and more linked with the wider study of deviance, which is defined as any form of behaviour that is different from that considered socially acceptable or "normal", and includes forms of behaviour that do not involve violations of the law.
B Interdisciplinary Fields
The oldest interdisciplinary subfield of sociology is social psychology. It has often been considered virtually a separate discipline, drawing practitioners from both sociology and psychology. Whereas sociologists primarily concern themselves with social "norms", roles, institutions, and the structure of groups, social psychologists concentrate on the impact of these various areas of individual personality. Social psychologists trained in sociology have pioneered studies of interaction in small informal groups; the distribution of beliefs and attitudes in a population; and the formation of character and outlook under the influence of the family, the school, the peer group, and other socializing agencies. To a certain extent, psychoanalytic ideas, derived from the work of Sigmund Freud and later psychoanalysts, have also been significant in this last area of social psychology.
Comparative historical sociology, often strongly influenced by the ideas of both Marx and Weber, has shown much growth in recent years. Many historians have been guided by concepts borrowed from sociology; at the same time, some sociologists have carried out large-scale historical-comparative studies. The once-firm barriers between history and sociology have crumbled, especially in such areas as social history, demographic change, economic and political development, and the sociology of revolutions and protest movements.
Sociologists use nearly all the methods of acquiring information that is used in the other social sciences and the humanities, from advanced mathematical statistics to the interpretation of texts. They also rely heavily on primary statistical information regularly collected by governments, such as censuses and vital statistics reports, and records of unemployment, immigration, the frequency of crime, and other phenomena.
A Direct Observation
First-hand observations of some aspect of society have a long history in sociological research. Sociologists have obtained information through participant observation—that is, by temporarily becoming or by pretending to become members of the group being studied. Sociologists also obtain first-hand information by relying on knowledgeable informants from the group. Both methods have also been used by social anthropologists.
In recent years, detailed first-hand observation has been applied to smaller-scale settings, such as hospital wards, religious and political meetings, bars and casinos, and classrooms. The work of the Canadian-born American sociologist Erving Goffman has provided both models and a theoretical rationale for such studies. Goffman is one of the several sociologists who insist that everyday life is the foundation of social reality, underlying all statistical and conceptual abstractions. This emphasis has encouraged intensive micro-sociological investigations using tape recorders and video cameras in natural rather than artificially contrived "experimental" social situations.
Sociologists, like historians, also make extensive use of second-hand source materials. These generally include life histories, personal documents, and clinical records.
Although popular stereotypes have sometimes pictured sociologists as people who bypass qualitative (direct) observation of human experiences by reducing them to quantitative (statistical) summaries, these have never been accurate. Even where quantitative social research has been admired and sociology has distanced itself from the humanistic disciplines of philosophy, history, and law, qualitative research has always had a strong tradition.
B Quantitative Methods
Increasingly refined and adapted to computer technology, quantitative methods continue to play a central role in the discipline of sociology. Quantitative sociology includes the presentation of large numbers of descriptive statistical data, sampling techniques, and the use of advanced mathematical models and computer simulations of social processes. Quantitative analysis has become popular in recent years as a means of revealing possible causal relations, especially in research on social mobility and status attainment.
C Survey Research
The term survey research means the collection and analysis of responses of large samples of people to polls and questionnaires designed to elicit their opinions, attitudes, and sentiments about a specific topic. For a time in the 1940s and 1950s, the construction and administration of surveys, and statistical methods for tabulating and interpreting their results were widely regarded as the major sociological research technique. Opinion surveys, especially in the form of pre-election polling and market research, were first used in the 1930s; today they are standard tools of politicians and of numerous organizations and business firms concerned with a mass public opinion.
Sociologists use surveys for scholarly or scientific purposes in nearly all subfields of the discipline, although surveys have most often been used in the study of voting behaviour, ethnic prejudice, responses to mass communications, and other areas in which the probing of subjective attitudes is appropriate. Although surveys are an important sociological research tool, their suitability for many types of investigation has been widely criticized. Direct observation of social behaviour cannot be replaced by verbal answers to an interviewer's standard list of questions, even if such answers lend themselves easily to statistical tabulation and manipulation. Observation enables a sociologist to obtain in-depth information about a certain group; the sample survey, on the other hand, allows the sociologist to secure uniform but superficial information about a much larger portion of the population. Survey research usually does not take into account the complex structure of relations and interactions among individuals that shape their social behaviour.
Sociology expanded enormously in both Europe and the United States in the 1960s and thereafter. In addition to theoretical diversification, new subfields came into beings, such as the sociology of gender (spurred especially by feminist movements), which includes analysis of gender-based social roles and inequalities, and the study of emotions, ageing, and the life course. Older subfields, such as historical and comparative sociology, were revitalized, as was the broad movement towards sociological practice, which encompasses applied sociology, and policy analysis. Sociological practitioners apply their knowledge through their roles as consultants, planners, educators, researchers, and managers in local and national government, in non-profit-making organizations, and in business—especially in the fields of marketing, advertising, insurance, human resources, and organizational analysis.
Since the 1960s sociologists have made greater use both of traditional research methods associated with other disciplines, such as the analysis of historical source materials, and of more sophisticated statistical and mathematical techniques adapted to the study of social phenomena. Development of increasingly complex computers and other devices for handling and storing information has facilitated the processing of sociological data.
Because of the wide diversity of research methods and theoretical approaches, sociologists working in a particular subfield often have more in common with workers in a complementary discipline than with sociologists specializing in other subfields. A sociologist of art, for example, stands much closer in interests and methods to an art historian or art critic than to a sociologist who constructs mathematical models of occupational mobility. In theory, methods, and subject matter, no single school of thought or topic dominates sociology today.

"Anybody But ReidSource Powerlingblog.com
June 10, 2010 Posted by John at 8:32 PM
"Honestly, I know very little about Sharron Angle, generally referred to as the "Tea Party" candidate for the Senate in Nevada. She won the Republican primary on Tuesday, and today Scott Rasmussen found that she has a healthy lead over Harry Reid:
Reid is, and deserves to be, deeply unpopular. It would be great to knock him off, as we did Tom Daschle a few years ago. The problem is that the Democrats have vastly greater financial resources than the Republicans, mostly due to the public employees' unions' ability to extort contributions from their members without their consent, and many millions of corrupt union dollars will flow to Reid. Republicans labor under the disadvantage of only getting contributions from people who actually want to make them, but we wouldn't have it any other way. ..............."

Visual Basic Upgrade Wizard
Visual Basic .NET enables a fundamental shift from traditional Windows development to building next-generation Web and n-tier applications. For this reason, your code will need to be upgraded to take advantage of Visual Basic .NET.
This happens automatically when you open a Visual Basic 6.0 project in Visual Basic .NET: the Upgrade Wizard steps you through the upgrade process and creates a new Visual Basic .NET project (your existing project is left unchanged). This is a one-way process; the new Visual Basic .NET project cannot be opened in Visual Basic 6.0.
When your project is upgraded, the language is modified for any syntax changes and your Visual Basic 6.0 Forms are converted to Windows Forms. In most cases, you will have to make some changes to your code after it is upgraded. This is required because certain objects and language features either have no equivalent in Visual Basic .NET, or have an equivalent too dissimilar for an automatic upgrade. After the upgrade, you may also want to change your application to take advantage of some of the new features in Visual Basic .NET.
To help you make the changes, after your project is upgraded, Visual Basic .NET adds an upgrade report to your project itemizing any problems, and inserts comments into your upgraded code alerting you to statements that will need to be changed. Because these comments are displayed as 'TO DO' tasks in the new Task List window, you can easily see what changes are required, and navigate to the code statement simply by double-clicking the task. Each task and item in the upgrade report is associated with an online Help topic giving further guidance as to why the code needs to be changed, and what you need to do

Over in Athens, prime ministerial aides have denied that European Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker has rejected a request to speak with Alexis Tsipras [as Suddeutsche Zeitung claims today].
Helena Smith, our correspondent in Athens, says put on the defensive officials have just issued another tersely worded statement.
She writes:
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' aides were adamant: the Greek leader had neither made a request for a meeting with the European Commission chief before Monday's Euro group, nor was there any let-up in communication between the two men.
A statement issued by Tsipras' office in the last half hour declared:
"No meeting with Mr Juncker was requested before Monday's Eurogroup. The prime minister speaks with Mr Juncker regularly. Their last contact was yesterday, Thursday, during which they agreed to meet before the Summit meeting."
They admitted, however, that talks were underway to discuss how European Union funds could be used to finance the leftist-led government's plans to alleviate both joblessness and the humanitarian crisis, the by-products of six years of recession and austerity.
"At their meeting, which will take place in the coming days, they will discuss how Greece can productively make use of European funds to combat the humanitarian crisis and unemployment."
Insiders in the governing Syriza party are also firmly denying that the government will have an "issue" paying public salaries or pensions this month.

By EDWARD A. GARGAN, Special to the New York Times
Published: February 25, 1987
HONG KONG, Feb. 24— Some China watchers based in Hong Kong have concluded that Deng Xiaoping, China's senior leader, has been severely weakened in the recent political turmoil in Beijing and may no longer exercise real power.
Mr. Deng, who twice rose from political oblivion in the 1970's, has been the principal force behind the economic restructuring that China has undergone since 1979.
The sweeping changes were introduced to free the country's lethargic economy from strong central control, with innovative management in some areas, a reliance on market forces for some products, and private control of most farm production.
The opinion of the China watchers aside, diplomatic analysts in Beijing and Washington say they generally believe that despite the political and ideological upheaval, Mr. Deng remains firmly in charge. Innovators Seen as Isolated
The analysts interviewed here, some of whom began watching China when it was closed to Western journalists, navigate partly by a careful scrutiny of the Chinese press, examining nuances and reading between the lines as the mainland Chinese do. They are not diplomats and sometimes take issue with diplomats posted in Beijing, but they have proven astute on past factional struggles inside China.
The Chinese and Western analysts interviewed in Hong Kong said Mr. Deng and the innovators he brought to power in the last decade had been isolated and forced from the center of power.
''I think he is now a lame duck,'' said a Hong Kong Chinese who has followed the situation on the mainland for several decades. ''Deng rested on two legs, Hu Yaobang and Zhao Ziyang. One of those legs has been cut from under him.''
On Jan. 16, Mr. Hu was stripped of his title as General Secretary of the Communist Party, which has 44 million members, after a month of student demonstrations calling for democracy. Mr. Zhao, who is Prime Minister, was named Acting General Secretary.
Another analyst here who has studied China since the Communists took over in 1949 took an equally negative view of Mr. Deng's situation.
''Some observers still imagine that he is in the saddle, as the most devastating articles written against 'bourgeois liberalism' cite his words,'' the analyst said. ''They really make fun of him, quoting his words pronounced at moments when he temporarily adopted words of his enemies.'' Criticism From the Press
Since the student protests ended early this year, the Chinese press has railed against what it calls ''bourgeois liberalization.'' The phrase is meant to encompass all views that advocate the introduction of Western ideas and values into China.
One analyst pointed to the abrupt manner in which Mr. Hu was removed as evidence of both Mr. Deng's weakened position and the declining power of the Politburo, which is in theory the most powerful body in China.
''They held an enlarged meeting of the Politburo to get rid of Hu,'' the analyst said. ''The majority at the meeting was non-Politburo members. Why did they do this? The answer is the Politburo is not strong; the power was elsewhere.''
China watchers in Hong Kong cited these developments, among others, to support their view that Mr. Deng was under attack:
* The call last summer for political change, which was identified with Mr. Deng and Mr. Hu, was discussed in September at a preparatory meeting before a plenary session of the Central Committee, but no action was taken.
* China's newspapers carried a previously unpublished speech last week that Mr. Deng delivered in 1962 at a conference to criticize the policies of the Great Leap Forward in 1958 and 1959. Mr. Deng attacked the misguided economic policies of Mao Zedong and called for collective leadership in the party. ''They are using his words against him,'' a Chinese analyst said. ''By choosing this speech to publish, they are attacking his economic policies the way he attacked Mao's policies.''
* The official Chinese press has sounded a clarion call for China to produce more grain. Analysts in Hong Kong saw this as an implicit attack on Mr. Deng's rural policies because it would mean a strengthening of central planning in state agriculture. ''Grain, grain, grain. That means an attack on the peasants in the countryside who are growing other things so they make more money,'' one analyst said.
* Despite the assurance from Prime Minister Zhao Ziyang, the acting party leader, that the campaign against ''bourgeois liberalization'' would be confined to the party, the Chinese military declared that the campaign would permeate the armed forces, the analysts said. Publishers, theaters, film studios and artists have also been admonished to watch the political soundness of their work.
One Hong Kong analyst traced the rise of hard-liners - defined by their insistence on party supremacy and a strong distaste for Western ideas in politics, art and literature - to 1984, when Peng Zhen transformed the National People's Congress. Congress Makes Real Decisions
Under Mr. Peng's direction, the analysts said, the congress, which had been a powerless quasi legislature that approved decisions by the party's Central Committee, began to make real decisions. Mr. Peng and the standing committee have sent delegations abroad; have publicly called for the rule of law, which some observers here view as an attack on party privilege; and have passed major legislation, apparently independent of the party, the most recent example being a bankruptcy law for companies.
An analyst described Mr. Peng as the ''leading voice'' of the hard-liners and the man directing Chinese policy at the moment. The People's Congress, led by Mr. Peng, is scheduled to meet in late March, and analysts here believe that a new prime minister will be chosen then. Many of the analysts say they expect Li Peng, a Soviet-trained engineer, to be the choice.
The China watchers said the way that the hard-liners marshaled their power remained obscure. ''We still do not know what really happened,'' one analyst said. ''But it is clear that a new period has started.''
