I am a Professor of Psychology and have proudly taught at Truman since 1975. I've served two terms as Psychology Department Convener and have supervised the Center for Applied Psychophysiology for 39 years.
I earned a BA in Psychology and Political Science with a minor in Philosophy/ Religion from Claremont Men's College in 1971.
I completed a MS in Clinical Psychology in 1973 and a PhD in Social-Personality Psychology in 1975 from Oklahoma State University.
In 2008, I received the Walker and Doris Allen Fellowship for Faculty Excellence at Truman State University.
In 2013, I received the Outstanding Research Mentor of the Year award at Truman for my supervision of the Center
for Applied Psychophysiology since 1976. (Former Assistant Director Christopher Zerr is shown with his Order of Omega Leadership Award.)
My specialty area is biofeedback, which is displaying your psychophysiological performance back to you to improve health and performance. A mirror and bathroom scale are biofeedback devices, as are EEG and heart rate watches.
I have trained professionals in biofeedback in Eindhoven, Hong Kong, Munich, Rome, and Venice with colleagues Donald Moss and Erik Peper. (Truman graduate Aaron Truitt attended the Biofeedback Foundation of Europe meeting with me and Christopher Wally in Rome.)
I serve as Chair of the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (BCIA), which certifies professionals in 32 countries.
I am Treasurer and Continuing Education Chair for the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB), associate editor for the journal Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, and contributing editor for Biofeedback magazine.
Finally, I am a co-editor of Evidence-Based Practice in Biofeedback and Neurofeedback (3rd ed.), which is the leading reference on biofeedback and neurofeedback efficacy.
This winter break, I toured Napa wineries with Zachary Meehan and Steven Shearman for 3 days. (Zachary and I paused at the entrance to the Darioush winery, which produces extraordinary cabernet sauvignons.)

Ok, so I guess the slide into a new year and new country hasn't been enough to provoke me to be a better blogger. But thems is the breaks. I would love to post a bunch of pictures of Radar dancing with the monkeys of Costa Rica, but that hasn't happened as of yet. That is not to say that Costa Rica has been anything less than great!
We are loving it! Radar especially is loving it! He's made a bunch of friends, including two imaginary friends (named Bim and Mum Bim... Bim and Mum Bim are actually his hands and when his hands do something they shouldn't (ie, splash water all over the bathroom, throw something they shouldn't, hit Fanny, etc) and I tell him not to do whatever it is that he shouldn't be doing, he tells me that it wasn't him, but it was his friends!) Radar's talking more than ever and I am in love with the age 3! Age three is full of wonderful things like Radar saying to me, "Mama - yo estoy feliz con mi Mama!" (Mama, I am happy with my Mama!) And when I get back from the office, his face explodes into a smile and he sprints towards me for a leaping hug while screaming "Hola Mama!" Last night when we were reading his night time book, he interupted me and said, "Mama, tu fuiste a la oficina hoy un poco. Pero entonces veniste a la casa. Siempre vienes a la casa porque tu quieres mucho a nene." Yes, ladies and gentlemen... my 37 month is talking in full, conjugated, complex, logical sentences and I am so in love with every bit of it (oh, for those who require a translation, he said, "Mama, you went to the office today for a little bit. But then you came to the house. You always come to the house because you love me very much.")
Where was I before that tangent? Anyway, I would post a bunch of pictures, but it seems like I forgot to bring the charger for my good camera (do I get any points for bringing the camera?) What can I say... we've been on a busy adventure and I haven't stopped to write about it.
Anyway - we really are enjoying Costa Rica, although we haven't yet gotten out of San Jose (I still go to work at an office every day). And even though I don't have lots of pictures, I suppose I should post the few I have taken (without any particular context or explanation) and try to do better in the near future so that all of you, and later Radar, will have a good account of our little 2012 adventure!
Lots of love,
Titi and Radar

You may vote once every thirty days. Analyst Ratings Consensus Ratings for Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX:ALL) (How are Consensus Ratings Calculated?) MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: No ratings tracked in the last 12 months.Consensus Rating:N/A (Score: NaN)Consensus Price Target: N/A Analysts' Ratings History for Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX:ALL) Show: Only the Most Recent Rating From Each Brokerage All Ratings For This Stock No equities research coverage for this company has been tracked by MarketBeat.com Earnings Earnings History for Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX:ALL)No earnings announcements for this company have been tracked by MarketBeat.com Estimates Earnings Estimates for Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX:ALL)No earnings estimates for this company have been tracked by MarketBeat.com Dividends Dividend History for Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX:ALL)No dividend announcements for this company have been tracked by MarketBeat.com Insider Trades Insider Trading History for Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX:ALL)No insider trades for this company have been tracked by MarketBeat.com Headlines Headline Trends for Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX:ALL) Latest Headlines for Aristocrat Leisure Limited (ASX:ALL) Source: All Sources Trusted Sources MarketBeat.com Bloomberg MarketWatch Motley Fool NASDAQ Reuters Seeking Alpha The Street The Wall Street Journal Yahoo Finance DateHeadlineETFs with exposure to Aristocrat Leisure Ltd. : July 27, 2017finance.yahoo.com - July 27 at 3:19 PMAre these explosive growth shares in bargain territory?

RIDGELAND — C Spire's ultra-high speed 1 Gbps (Gigabit per second) fiber to the home initiative in Mississippi has been selected by Broadband Communities for a 2014 Cornerstone Award.
C Spire executives were honored during a special awards program attended by over 1,000 broadband industry leaders at the 2014 Broadband Communities Summit in Austin, Texas.
Presented annually since 2004, the Cornerstone Awards recognize outstanding accomplishments by private developments, municipalities, communities, companies, and individuals in delivering broadband over fiber for the benefit of the end user. The awards have included recognition for the most notable deployments of Fiber-to-the-Home and next-generation access technologies in the U.S. and abroad.
"Fiber to the Home is a transformative technology, serving as a platform for innovation and new Internet experiences that have yet to be imagined," said Hu Meena, president and CEO of C Spire. "We thank Broadband Communities for this recognition and look forward to showing the world that Mississippi is ready to become a hub for technology investment, economic growth and job creation."
In their comments, a panel of industry leaders who served as Cornerstone judges praised C Spire for its "creative engagement" with Mississippi cities, towns and communities in pursuing the next-generation broadband technology initiative.
"C Spire is sharing the valuable message that fiber to the home has the power to raise property values and transform communities into hubs for technology investment and economic growth," said Scott DeGarmo, president and CEO of Broadband Communities.
DeGarmo said C Spire's news conferences and town hall meetings last year to kick off the initiative created excitement and inspired local government, community and business leaders to rally their towns to participate and partner with the company. "We're hopeful that this dynamic initiative in Mississippi will energize citizens, communities and organizations across the country to pursue similar efforts."
Nine Mississippi cities, including Batesville, Clinton, Corinth, Hattiesburg, Horn Lake, McComb, Quitman, Ridgeland and Starkville, were selected by C Spire last November for the nation's first and only statewide roll out of the game-changing technology, which promises Internet access up to 100 times faster than national average broadband speeds.
Homeowner pre-registration began last December. Since that time, local government, community and business leaders have rallied residents in four of the cities to pre-register at levels that qualify their areas to be among the first for C Spire's build out of the service. Efforts are underway in the remaining cities as well and they continue to make steady progress.
Meena said the strong support and engagement from cities is the primary reason for the initiative's success and for the recognition from the Broadband Communities organization. "This initiative is a great example of what can be accomplished when cities, communities and business leaders work together to move Mississippi forward," he said.

Saint Leo, Fla. (May 13, 2008) – Saint Leo University softball pitcher Ashley Urbanik (Jr., Riverview, Fla.) added another award to her post-season resume, as she was named 2008 Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division II Second Team All-America, it was announced Tuesday by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association.
Urbanik, who was named the 2008 Sunshine State Conference Player of the Year and to the NFCA and Daktronics First Team All-South Region Teams last week, led the Lions to a 37-15 overall record, including two straight wins in the winner's bracket at the 2008 NCAA South Region Softball Tournament.
She concluded the season with a 27-10 record in the circle, a 1.04 ERA, striking out 259, throwing 31 complete games, 14 shutouts and five no-hitters. At the plate, she batted .306 with 44 RBI, nine doubles and tied for the team lead in home runs with 14 while slugging .625
Urbanik ranked in the top 100 nationally in seven different categories, including 15th in home runs per game, 13th in earned run average, 38th in strikeouts per seven-innings and 14th in total victories.
Urbanik joined an elite level of company, becoming the fourth different Lion in program history to receive All-American honors. Katie Heintz was named to the Third Team in 2005 and the Second Team in 2006. Denyve Duncan was also named to the Second Team twice in her career, (2001 and 2003). Desiree Croteau was also named NFCA All-America in 2000.
Barry and Alabama-Huntsville led all schools with four total selections apiece.

- Stacy Hill
Jun 27, 2010 - This is my second time going natural. I visited Stacy on 06/11/10 for the first time and I must say as of 06/27/10, I am still satified with the results. The only major question I had for Stacy was how would my hair react to heat and water. Well, my hair got wet due to the rain and it was back to being puffy. All I had to do was flat iron my hair and it was like I visited Stacy all over again. I asked for layers and to keep my length and that is exactly what I recevied. Stacy provides you with each step she is doing for your own knowledge about your hair. Good job Stacy, I will be returning asap!

A Year of Good Food: Lemon thyme loaf cakes
Little lemon loaf cakes are a wonderful gift for friends. These loaf cakes are simple to make with a delicious syrup to add some oomph.
Tangy and sweet with a kiss of aromatic thyme leaves, these little loaves are a gorgeous Christmas gift for anyone. Thanks to a liberal soaking in syrup, they also stay nice and moist for a few days, but I'm going to give these away this afternoon so their recipients have a few days to nibble away at them. Hope everyone is enjoying this last week before Christmas. It's such a fun, hectic, heady time, I need to keep reminding myself to stay calm and present – speaking of… must actually wrap some!
Lemon thyme loaf cakes
This recipe makes two small loaves or one large loaf cake.
125g unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup caster sugar
2 large eggs
zest and juice of 2 lemons
1 1/4 cups self raising flour
3 tbsp milk
For syrup
Juice and zest of 2 lemons
1/2 cup sugar
4 tbsps lemon thyme
Preheat oven to 180°C. Cream the butter and sugar together then add the eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition. Add the lemon zest and juice. Fold through the flour and milk. Spoon into cake tins and bake for 20 minutes or until golden and firm on top.
Meanwhile make the syrup. Combine all ingredients with half a cup of water and bring to the boil, simmer for 5 minutes then set aside. As soon as the cakes leave the oven, spike them over with a skewer and then drizzle with the syrup. Let cool completely then package up and give away!

"Sobig does not physically damage computers, files or critical data, but it

One reason for the volume of e-mails generated is that the e-mail

automatic alert back to the Internet user, telling them they are infected.
Users whose e-mail addresses have been thus forged can then receive hundreds
of these virus alerts, adding to Internet traffic jams."

Two full days have passed since the end of the 11th annual Bonnaroo Music And Arts Festival. Now that we've finally slept and showered, it is time to use our clear-ish heads to appraise the four-day musical celebration that spreads across 700 acres of farm in Manchester, TN. Here are some of the best sets we saw.
The electric-rock duo set the bar high for acts to come on Thursday night of Bonnaroo. Phantogram played its most popular songs like "16 Years," "When I'm Small" and "Mouthful Of Diamonds," led by Sarah Barthel's airy vocals and Josh Carter's swirling guitars. The set was accompanied by an awesome light show, and the high-energy performance got everyone on their feet to dance.
Phantogram "When I'm Small" by Barsuk Records
On Day Two of the festival, Radiohead rocked out for a two-and-a-half hour show, taking two encores in the 25-song set that spanned the band's entire career. Matched with a mind-boggling light show, tracks like "Lotus Flower," "There, There" and "Karma Police" left the crowd in awe. Radiohead dedicated "Supercollider" to Jack White, which has led to whispers about a possible collaboration in the near future.
Radiohead – Supercollider
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Red Hot Chili Peppers tore up the What Stage on Day Three. The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductees' two-hour set included an equal amount of new and old music to keep all kinds of fans happy. Opening with "Monarchy Of Roses," they pumped up the audience for favorites like "Give It Away," "Dani California" and "Suck My Kiss."
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Give it Away
Art Vs. Science
The Australian three-piece dance band was extremely busy this Bonnaroo weekend. Playing two scheduled sets and then popping up here and there for surprise performances, there was no time for the group to get tired. Enthusiastic and out-of-its-mind weird, the band was hard to miss in matching silver jumpsuits. From the choreographed head-banging to beer-chugging on stage, Art Vs. Science's entire act was infectiously fun.
Art Vs. Science – Flippers
Beach Boys
Beach Boys made Sunday's weather a little less gloomy with their bright and bubbly set. United for their global 50th anniversary tour, Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston and David Marks brought together thousands of people, young and old, to hear them play for one of the first times in two decades. Even though the Beach Boys are no longer "boys," they still know how to charm. As beach balls bounced, people all over sang and clapped to the classics "Surfing Safari" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice."
Beach Boys – Wouldn't It Be Nice
Bon Iver
Justin Vernon and his Bon Iver band members did the impossible on Day Four of Bonnaroo: They managed to calm the hyped-up festival-goers into near silence for an entire hour-and-a-half set. It was a nice break from the dancing, stomping and clapping that was non-stop all weekend. Exploring a dynamic range of sound, songs like "Perth," "Skinny Love" and "The Wolves" were downright beautiful. But apparently the experience wasn't as enchanting for the band as Vernon criticized the stage they were playing on. While Bonnaroo tried to make the What Stage a more intimate setting, Vernon said they were too "cramped" as they squeezed all nine members of Bon Iver and their instruments on one small platform. But, hey, they looked and sounded great.
Skinny Love by boniver
Fun. was scheduled to play at the same time as the Shins, Civil Wars and Young The Giant, but fans still flocked to That Tent to watch the spectacle that is Fun. The pop group promised Rolling Stone that this would be its "best show of the year," and the band truly delivered. Starting the set with songs like "One Foot," "Walking The Dog" and "It Gets Better," Fun. made a risky decision to save its crowd-romping hits till the end. Luckily, the plan did not backfire, and the audience only got crazier as Bonnaroo security guards were caught off guard with swarms of crowd-surfers during "We Are Young" and "Some Nights."
Some Night
Phish wrapped up Bonnaroo with a jam-packed four-hour set. The festival could not have had a better ending. Focusing on its country and funk material, the group wowed all who remained at Bonnaroo. As if Phish weren't enough, Kenny Rogers made an unforgettable guest appearance when he sang "The Gambler" with the band. Whether you were watching the plethora of hula-hoopers or synchronized dancers with blow-up bananas, everywhere you looked people were ecstatic.

City Life vs. Country Life
When you have people who have lived in the city their whole life move out into the country and have never been in the country before, you have a way of life that you've been used to. But when move out into the rural setting, there's a way of life out there. And the two have to balance each other and respect each other. And, yes, there are some instances where there are problems, but those problems can be worked out with communication and understanding, again, of basically our background, the resources that are around us and how we can best use our backgrounds and our communication to help each other live together in harmony so to speak -- as we live in harmony with nature. That can be done.

Dear Pam Geller: repeating the Soros-Nazi smear won't make it true
Blog ››› ››› SEAN EASTER
In a post on Big Journalism, blogger and Park 51 controversy manufacturer Pam Geller falsely accused George Soros of having "assisted the Nazis," based on the content of an interview with Soros on 60 Minutes. Oddly enough, Geller links to the very Media Matters item that addresses her inaccurate claim. From Geller's post:
He assisted the Nazis, so is it any wonder he wants to destroy the Jew? If at first you don't succeed...
If you are unfamiliar with Soros's actual past, remember that, as 60 Minutes reported in 2006, "While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews."
As Media Matters noted in that item, New Republic editor-in-chief Martin Peretz edited the 60 Minutes interview to falsely imply that Soros collaborated with the Nazis as a 14-year-old boy in Nazi-controlled Hungary. The claim that Soros collaborated with the Nazis is a frequently repeated right-wing smear, whose inaccuracy has prompted the Toronto Sun to issue a retraction and apology after it appeared in one of the paper's columns.

CAMS Robotics Shows Their Stuff at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium
Bots by the Bay is a summer event managed by Team 687 that helps us reach out to the community. We bring our FRC, VEX, and ROV robotics to the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium in San Pedro, California, and allow the public to drive several robots. During this event, CAMS Robotics displays our love for FIRST and motivates the youths to start their own teams at their home school.
Our objective of Bots by the Bay is to reach out to the community and promote the ideals of FIRST. We show the significance of implementing math, science, and technology principles and explain how applying these principles to create robots can help improve real life situations. During this time, we spoke about each organization and answered any questions the public asked.
Team 687 has been participating in this event for the past four years. Our strong relationship with the Cabrillo Aquarium has allowed us to continue to showcase our robots each summer. Each year, the number of guests that have visited the Aquarium during our showcase has grown.
From 10AM to 2PM, the public show great appreciation towards our presentation of what we do as a team. Many people in the area do not know much about robotics principles and how they impact our lives. After listening to our presentation and gaining hands-on experience with robots, the community becomes cognizant of Team 687 and FIRST as whole.

My massage school was 650 hours. I also had to do 100 hours of massage.I live in Iowa, but every state is different about the amount of hours u have to have to be liscened. I also work at a massage school the current program takes about 9 months going 3 nights a week (5-9:30)and every other weekend(Sat and sun 9-5:30) The cost of the school is $6500 (and that is cheap)
I have been liscined for 2 1/2 years now and i love it. It is the best thing i have done with my life. You have to take a national exam and then apply for your state liscinse if your state requires a liscince. If you have a good cliental base then the poteinal to make a good amount of money is good. and it also depends if you have your own business or work for someone else or if you are an indepentant condrator. I am an idepentant contranter and i make 60% of every massage i do the rest goes to the owner where i work out of. But i don't have to do anything but show up for the massage. It is very easy for me. A one hour massage in a small town in iowa is $50. I like to do 3 massages a day. So if i were to do 3 one hour massages a day getting paid $30 for each one, and working 5 days a week i would make $450 a week. But depending on how much pressure you use and how you body is able to handle to physical labor(yes there is physical labor) of massge you may be able to do more. If you are a stronger man then it may be easier on your body to give massages than a small women. I hope this helps you in your quest. one more thing you have to do massage because you are passionate about health not because of money if you do it for money you will never be successful you have to care about others and truely want to help them with their physical issues. To be a caring person and to do your best will attract business to you.
Check out this site for schools in ok. http://www.massage-classifieds.com/okmas...
between 8-10 months if full time student every school is different
i finish and its great try it out you make good money!!
it took my mom about 1 year and that's including the 50 hours of actual massaging. she is currently waiting to take her test on the 24th- a lot of people say it's really hard.

Queer I Stand
The Religious Roots of Homophobia
This particular article in the "Queer I Stand" column probably has the simplest and most uncomplicated point to make, which is even obvious in the title, and it is the following: homophobia has no logical basis whatsoever, and is only supportable within certain conservative creedal religious frameworks.
Certainly, homophobic strains have existed outside of the dominant monotheistic religions, and a discourse of "natural law" that argued against the utility or the morality of homoeroticism even existed in some neo-Pythagorean circles in the ancient Mediterranean. Alexander of Abunoteichos, the prophet of Glykon in the second century CE, preached against homosexuality according to Lukian of Samosata, while privately indulging in it himself (which is so commonplace now that it is staggering!). However, nothing made these philosophical opinions enforceable as law, or had the ability to make all homoerotic acts considered "sin" across ancient Mediterranean societies.
For the majority of its history, Judaism—where some of the first religious proscriptions of male homoeroticism emerge as infallible law—did not seek to impose these beliefs on other nations, but instead used them for itself for its own purposes as a purely internal matter. The story that gives the origin of the word "sodomy" was interpreted, until the time of Philo of Alexandria, as a story of bad hospitality and not something having to do with homoeroticism at all (and, since it actually has to do with rape more than anything, the genders involved aren't so much a concern as the term seems to indicate in modern usage).
Jesus himself in the Gospels speaks of Sodom and Gomorrah as exemplars of bad hospitality, and not anything else. His words on homoeroticism are non-existent, outside of the Gospel of Judas, which no mainstream Christian denomination currently takes as definitive of Jesus' teachings nor as authoritative scripture. It is highly amusing to me, therefore, when Christians are virulently homophobic, because in doing so they are unknowingly espousing the "Gospel of Judas" rather than the Gospel of Jesus!
But, Christian homophobia does draw on the epistles of Paul, particularly Romans 1, in its "egalitarian" condemnation of homoerotic acts between males and females. Early church fathers like Clement of Alexandria picked up on the homophobia of the Jewish Philo, and augmented with the words of Paul, began the long tradition that has spanned from the late second century through today with people like Fred Phelps, Michelle Bachmann and her husband, Cindy Jacobs, Damon Thompson, and a list of others far too long to even contemplate.
Unfortunately, Islam as well picked up on this aspect of Jewish and Christian tradition, and carried it on in the pages of the Qu'ran, adopting the language of "sodomy" to apply to homoeroticism throughout the text.

Clerk Knocks Out Robber Then Makes Him Clean Up His Own Blood [Video]
If you're planning on robbing any stores in the Hendersonville, SC area, you may want to steer clear of this clerk who knocked out a would be thief and then made him clean up his own blood.
The clerk's name is Derek Mothershead but he's now being called 'Rocky' at the We Buy Gold Store where he works in South Carolina. A thief came in just before closing time and demanded that Mothershead put all of the store's money in the bag.
When he came through the door he told me had a gun and he even flashed it," said Derek Mothershead. "I stood up and threw my hands up and said, 'Take the money.
That's precisely the time that Mothershead earned his new nickname. He knocked him out cold with one punch and called 911. When the thief came to, he made him clean up his own blood before the paramedics got there. Check out the video on WYFF4.com.

|Straight from the HEART
|Patti Sells | News-Telegram Feature Editor
May 28, 2006 -- The Tuesday Morning Group of Our Savior Lutheran Church, 1000 Texas St., has put their hearts into creating an "It's My Heart" auction quilt that will help raise money for a young church member currently awaiting a heart transplant in Houston.
Katlin Collins is the 17-year-old daughter of Paul and Cheryl Norton, and a sophomore at Sulphur Springs High School. She and her family have been members of Our Savior Lutheran Church for the past three years.
Tuesday Morning members have been meeting each week for the past month to make the special red and white queen-sized quilt decorated with heart-shaped designs. The group usually make relief quilts that are shipped all over the world through the Lutheran World Relief Organization, but, decided to make a quilt that would benefit someone a little closer to home.
"She's a real sweet girl," said Cecelia Anderson, one of the Tuesday Morning members. "This is a very emotional time for them. They're under so much stress, and we just wanted to do something to help."
"It makes me feel great that they would do something like this for me," said Katlin. "They have been very understanding and praying for us and sending cards each week. But they really stepped outside their daily lives to take time out to do something like this for me."
Katlin was diagnosed in January of 2004 with restrictive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a complex cardiac disease marked by thickening of the heart muscle, which often causes shortness of breath, exercise intolerance, chest pressure or pain and fainting. The condition is progressive, and could, at any time, lead to heart failure.
"We met with a surgeon last week who gave her about a 50 percent chance of one more year with this heart," Cheryl explained, which is why Katlin has to be within an hour's distance of Texas Children's Hospital in Houston, ranked as one of the best in the nation for cardiac care, especially when it involves cardiomyopathy.
Mother and daughter have been living in the Houston home of Katlin's grandparents since January waiting for the phone call that could save her life.
"The waiting has been horrible, a real test of patience," Katlin said. "And it's hard being separated from family and friends and uprooted like this."
The Nortons feel blessed and thankful that Medicaid is providing for Katlin's medical needs, but are struggling in other financial areas. Cheryl does not work in order to provide her daughter with around-the-clock care, while her husband, Paul, a full-time student in his last year studying computer management at Texas A&M University-Commerce, remains in Sulphur Springs with her 15-year-old son, Patrick, who himself was diagnosed with the congenital heart disease shortly after his sister's diagnosis. His, at this point, is not progressing quickly.
"The hard part right now is just day-to-day expenses," she said. "Food, gas, no extras."
And it's hard to continually say "No" to things with someone in this condition, according to Cheryl.
Car problems have been a major obstacle for the family, as well. According to Cheryl, Paul's car is "forever breaking down" and can't be depended on locally, much less in making trips to Houston.
"It's difficult. But she's a real trooper," said Cheryl, who added the ordeal has been an affirmation of faith in both a higher power and other people.
"I've come to understand, no matter how much I want to yell at God, He is in control," she said. "I told him early on that the only way I could do this was if he walked hand in hand with me through it. And he has. My faith is stronger. My patience has grown. And, I've seen how incredibly loving, good and caring people can be — just like doing something like this quilt."
The "It's My Heart" quilt will be auctioned at a Houston fashion show this fall, hosted by Katlin's cousin, who is a designer of women's lingerie. More information on how to make bids for the quilt will follow.
In the meantime, cards and letters are of great inspiration, according to Cheryl, and may be sent to 12314 Springcrest Drive, Houston, TX 77072. Or, by logging on to www.carepages.com, guests can send emails or get updates on her daughter's condition by clicking VISIT A CARE PAGE and entering katlinmarie as her email address.

See when it came to group content/leveling I never got any feel for the lore in EQ. The problem was when you just sit in one spot you don't experience the world. Crushbone for example was supposed to be this really cool orc fort, but it never felt like one because all the orcs were always dead and it was just full of players. There was a dark elven ambassador who spawned, and I'm sure he was supposed to be plot relevent. But you nver even got to see him unless you joined the line of people camping him.
Another example was the undead manor in Caldera. There was apparently a real cool gothic manor there full of undead, but when you formed a group you didn't actually go into the manor. What you did was camp outside it and send one guy in to find one monster, aggro it, and then run back to the people waiting outside. He would be the only person who ever saw the interior. Was there a story to this place? Were there cool and exciting things in the manor? The majority of people would never know.
That's another big advantage of instancing is that you can actually experience the lore and participate in the story. You can actually see the orc fortress full of orcs, see the amabassor making deals with the king, plan out how you are going to deal with all these challenges. In EQ you never got to see these things. You just saw your little part of the map that you sat in for 4 hours.

What is the difference between the AKC and CKC Dog Registration?
In order to register a puppy with AKC, both parents have to be registered with AKC. The only way the parents can be registered with AKC is if their parents were registered with AKC, and so on. AKC originated in 1884. Therefore you are absolutely guaranteed that you are paying for a purebred dog.
In order to register a puppy with CKC, both parents have to be registered with CKC. In order to register a dog with CKC, you simply have to mail them a picture of the dog, tell them what breed you want to register it as and get two unverified signatures on the application for registration. Example: You could find a male or female and if you thought it was purebred you could register that dog and breed it.Selling the puppies as registered puppies. what if the parents were not 100% purebred? CKC stands for Continental Kennel Club. It also stands for Canadian Kennel Club. Now the Canadian Kennel Club is an excellent registry it works just like AKC does. But Continental Kennel Club in Walker, Louisiana also calls itself the CKC. And most dogs that are registered with CKC in the USA are registered with Continental Kennel Club. Now, just think about a registry that would use call letters that are identical to another well know registry. CKC will even register mixed breed dogs such as: yorkiepoos (half yorkie/half poodle), peekapoos (half peekanese/half poodle), cockapoos (half cocker spaniel/ half poodle) etc.
In order to register a puppy with UKC, both parents have to be registered with UKC. You can get UKC papers on the parents by sending them a copy of your dog's current registration (which includes CKC papers). So you could still be buying a mixed dog thinking it was a purebred.
AKC requires that a male dog that has produced 7 or more litters in it's lifetime or has produced 3 or more litters in a calendar year must be "AKC DNA profiled" which is quite costly. AKC can, and does, inspect your dogs, your records and your facility on a regular basis to assure that they are being maintained in the proper conditions. They are also authorized to DNA match litters of puppies (at will) to their listed sire. If the puppy's DNA does not match the listed sire's DNA, the puppies are not allowed to be registered with AKC (for obvious reasons). This is not a problem for those of us who keep our dogs, clean, groomed, healthy our facility clean, up to code and presentable, records in order and correct. And most of all that we know beyond a shadow of a doubt which females was bred with which male. AKC also requires a strict record keeping guideline which is not a problem for those of us concerned about the integrity of purebred puppies.
To sum it up:
Alot of breeders are choosing to register their dogs with CKC because you can register your whole litter for free, where AKC charges $25 plus $2 per puppy. It is sad to see breeders stoop this low to save a dollar.

Pelicans Beat Bulls, Anthony Davis Sets New Record
New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis (pictured) won't admit he feels snubbed by not being selected to the All-Star game. His play on the court as of late speaks much louder than words.
In the last 4 games Anthony Davis has suited up for, the New Orleans Pelicans (20-26) have won. Saturday night was no different, as the Pelicans beat up the Bulls 88-79.
Davis set a new franchise record as he has now blocked 4 or more shots in 6 straight games. In a matchup with All-Star forward Joakim Noah, Davis owned the night, blocking 6 shots, and scoring 24 points on 10-14 shooting. He also added 8 rebounds, 3 steals, and 3 assists.
"I'm not trying to prove anything," said Davis. "Everybody knows what I can do and what I'm capable of. Stuff happens and I can't control that."
New Orleans coach Monty Williams was more vocal about his young star being absent from the All-Star reserves.
"You want to be recognized as one of the best," Williams explained. "When you play as well as he has, he can say what he wants. He wants it. We all know he deserves it."
Pelicans guard Eric Gordon scored the first 7 points of the contest, but only finished with 9 on the night. Tyreke Evans (pictured) came off the pine to reach double figures at 11.
New Orleans will play host to the savvy San Antonio Spurs (34-13) Monday night. Tip-off is set for 7:00.

In the Dollar We (and All Other Nations) Trust
By Laura D'Andrea Tyson
Early this year, the dollar began what many predicted would be a precipitous slide. After soaring by 50% relative to other currencies since 1995, its decline gained momentum during the spring as confidence in the American economy faltered in response to accounting scandals, weak profit forecasts, yawning budget deficits, and fears of another terrorist attack. But remarkably, the dollar began to strengthen during the summer despite the sharp fall in the U.S. equity market and growing speculation about a double-dip recession in the U.S. The NASDAQ is off more than 75% from its 2000 peak, the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index is off more than 40%, but the dollar's value remains about where it was at the beginning of this tumultuous year. Investors may have lost faith in U.S. equity markets, but they have apparently not lost faith in the dollar.
Unfortunately, the strength of the dollar is not a sign of strong fundamentals in the American economy. Rather, it is a sign of growing weakness in the rest of the global economy and its lopsided dependence on the U.S. as the engine of growth. The U.S. economy may be faring poorly, but the rest of the world is doing even worse. Growth in Europe is proceeding at a snail's pace, and progress in much-needed structural reforms is agonizingly slow. Japan is caught in a stranglehold of bad debt and deflation. Latin America is reeling from the loss of confidence and capital triggered by Argentina's default. And export-dependent Asia has been hard hit by dwindling demand in American markets. According to Stephen Roach of Morgan Stanley, the U.S. economy, which accounts for about 20% of global output, has contributed about 40% of global growth since 1995. As it slips, no other economy or region is able or willing to take its place as the primary source of global demand and the market of last resort.
Nor does there appear to be any appetite among the developed countries for coordinated macroeconomic policy action combining fiscal stimulus and monetary easing to prevent the global economy from falling further, perhaps into recession. The silence among the leaders of the developed countries on the dangers of a global recession--and its dire consequences for the world's poorer nations--is deafening.
In this uncertain economic climate, what have many investors around the world chosen to do? They have cut their holdings in U.S. equity markets and increased their purchases of other U.S. securities, especially safer government ones. Total net foreign purchases of U.S. securities during the first seven months of this year were about the same level as a year ago, but net foreign purchases of U.S. equities were down by more than half. In recent months, the level of net foreign purchases of U.S. securities has actually increased to nearly double the levels of last year, driven by purchases of U.S. Treasury notes and bonds.
The dollar's performance during this cyclical downturn provides evidence that the international financial system is operating on a de facto dollar standard. No asset since gold in the 19th century enjoys such broad acceptance as both a medium of exchange and a store of value as the dollar. It is the transaction currency for trade in primary commodities including oil as well as for trade in many industrial goods and services. The dollar is the vehicle currency in interbank and forward exchange markets and the main currency of denomination for most cross-border capital flows. Most governments outside of Europe use the dollar as their primary intervention currency, often loosely pegging their own currencies to it. Almost 50% of all U.S. Treasury bonds are held as reserves by foreign central banks and national governments that are reluctant to sell them for fear of undermining the competitiveness of their own currencies. As long as the U.S. inflation rate remains low, any run on the dollar by individuals is likely to be offset by foreign central banks accumulating dollars to prevent their own currencies from appreciating.
In a dollar-standard world, global growth fuels the demand for liquid dollar assets, and the U.S. can provide these assets, whether in the form of currency, government securities, or private securities, with no well-defined time frame for net repayment. As a result, the U.S. seems to enjoy a virtually unlimited line of credit denominated in its own currency with the rest of the world. This credit finances America's large and growing current-account deficit. The U.S. benefits from this arrangement because it can consume much more than it produces. But the rest of the world also benefits both because it gets the dollar holdings it requires and because the U.S. uses the credit to import goods and services and serve as the world's growth engine. Contrary to conventional economic wisdom, in a dollar-standard system there is little danger that America's current-account deficit will trigger a flight from the dollar, necessitating sharply higher U.S. interest rates. That's good news for both the American and world economy.

Quasi means as if or almost, so a quasi-experiment means almost a true experiment. Quasi-experiment is a research design with some characteristics of a true experiment. The element frequently missing in quasi-experiment research design is random assignment of subjects to the control and experimental conditions. One of the intended purposes for doing quasi-experiment research is to capture longer time periods of different events to control for various threats to validity and reliability. Books on Quasi-experiment.
Examples of quasi-experiment research design are the natural experiment or trend analysis. There are many varieties of quasi-experiment research designs, and there is generally little loss of status or prestige in doing a quasi-experiment instead of a true experiment, although you may run into someone who is biased against quasi-experiments.
In quasi-experiment, matching instead of randomized testing is used. Someone studying the effects of a new police strategy in town would try to find a similar town somewhere in the same geographic region. That other town would have citizen demographics that are very similar to the experimental town. That other town is not technically a control group, but a comparison group, and this matching strategy is sometimes called nonequivalent group design.
In quasi-experiment, time series analysis is involved. A time series is perhaps the most common type of longitudinal research found in criminal justice.
In quasi-experiment the unit of analysis is often something different than people. Quasi-experiment is well suited for "fuzzy" or contextual concepts such as sociological quality of life, anomie, disorganization, morale, climate, atmosphere, and the like.
The hope is that the design will generate stable, reliable findings and tell us something about the effects of time itself. In fact, for a noninterrupted time series, the independent variable is usually time itself. If you were monitoring rises and falls in crime rates and attributing it to changes in society over time. Quasi-experiment is somewhat creative or unusual in what it attributes the cause of something to, and this is the case because we aren't using a true experiment where we manipulate some independent variable in order to assess causality.
In quasi-experiment, the word
"trend" is used instead of cause, and we are interested in finding the one true
