Gorgeous George
Real Name: George Wagner
Stats: 5' 9" 210 lbs.
Born: 1915
Gorgeous George is truly the original showman of professional wrestling, and his flamboyant theatrics have unquestionably forever changed the "sport" of professional wrestling. During his heyday (which began in the late 1940's and lasted through to the early 1960's, a more famous or controversial entertainment figure could not be found. It has been said that during his prime, George was even more well known than the President. He influenced generations of future wrestlers -- from Buddy Rogers to Adrian Street, "Superstar" Billy Graham to Ric Flair, "Adorable" Adrian Adonis to Goldust...even Mohammed Ali, Little Richard, Liberace, and numerous other figures in both sports and entertainment. One is hard pressed to think of a more influential public figure, let alone a professional wrestler...
He grew his hair out so it was long, could be curled and pinned back with gold-plated bobby pins, and dyed it platinum blond. He wore elegant robes, dubbed himself "The Human Orchid" and was always escorted by one of his male ring valets (Geoffrey or Thomas Ross) who would spray his his corner of the ring, as well as George's opponents, with disinfectant and perfume. He was the originator of using entrance music, and was always accompanied by his theme "Pomp And Circumstance"...which would again be used some 40 years later by Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Gorgeous George's ring entrances were legendary, and often took nearly as long as his matches. The effeminate grappler worked people into fits of laughter, curiosity, and outright rage with his pageantry and theatrics. The consummate villain, George would cheat at every possible opportunity, infuriating fans to the point of rioting on several occasions. So riveted were they by George's theatrics, fans would flock in droves to see him wrestle, and even more importantly, they tuned-in in record numbers to watch Gorgeous George on the brand-new medium of television.
In a very real sense, Gorgeous George single-handedly established the unproven new technology of television as a viable, entertaining new medium that could reach literally millions homes all across the country. Pro wrestling was TV's first real "hit" with the public -- the first programs that ever drew any real numbers for the new technology, and Gorgeous George was was directly responsible for all of the commotion. It was a turning point for Wagner, wrestling, and the country itself. Gorgeous George was probably responsible for selling more television sets in the early days of TV than any other factor. There was once a well known saying that Frank Gotch may have put wrestling on the map, but Gorgeous George brought it to the world...
George, although a showman first and foremost, eventually became quite an accomplished wrestler as well. On May 26,1950 he won the A.W.A. (Boston) World Heavyweight title by defeating Don Eagle. He later lost the World Title to another wrestling legend, Lou Thesz. Nearly 10 years later after losing the AWA strap, he ended his remarkable career and retired from wrestling.
George Wagner died in 1963. Although his legacy can be found everywhere
you look in the world of professional wrestling, we at The Ring Chronicle
believe this startlingly original performer and champion should once again
be honored as the innovative legend he truly was and is. Surely, without
Gorgeous George, the entire landscape of the wrestling business would be
radically different from what we know. Simply put, he changed the
"sport" forever. With that in mind, we are proud to induct Gorgeous
George into T.R.C.'s Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame...

OLYMPIA – Public agencies in Washington could receive about $8.4 million in annual rebates by using charge cards available through a contract recently awarded by Enterprise Services.
U.S. Bank is the winning vendor of the new charge card services contract. The new agreement expands on the bank's previous contract — in place since 2008.
Under the contract, U.S. Bank offers a quarterly rebate to agencies that use the charge cards. Rebate amounts are based on how much is spent and how quickly the bill is paid.
Washington public agencies received more than $3 million in charge card rebates from the bank in 2012 and more than $9 million since 2008. Rebate totals for 2013 will be released later this month.
The new contract offers larger rebates than the old one because U. S. Bank has raised the basis point used for calculating how much money to return to an agency.
The estimated rebates are based on past usage of state-issued charge cards. There are many variables that influence rebate amounts.
Washington was the lead state in the development of this contract on behalf of the WSCA-NASPO Cooperative Purchasing Organization, a national purchasing cooperative. The new contract is available for use by public agencies in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The contract includes several types of charge cards but the purchasing card – a Visa card – is the one most frequently used by agencies to buy goods and services.
Unlike a personal credit card where the cardholder can pay only a portion of the amount due, public agencies must pay the entire balance in full each month.
U.S. Bank regularly works with its clients to help them prevent fraud and misuse. The bank has a number of tools that look for and detect transactions that are outside of an organization's policy.
Agencies add additional levels of fraud protection and security. For example, agencies must establish authorization controls for each card, which includes limits on the types of purchases, dollar limits per transaction and more. Every card user must sign an agreement that they will comply with all agency purchasing policies and procedures.
Another reason for the larger rebates is the addition of U.S. Bank fleet card to the contract. The U.S. Bank fleet card, like the purchasing card, offers rebates to users. The previous fleet card contract did not offer rebates.
The fleet card is used by employees who use state-owned vehicles for travel. It is used to pay for fuel, maintenance and roadside assistance costs.
Using charge cards to buy goods and services helps public agencies better manage their purchasing processes, while improving efficiency and transparency. In addition to receiving rebates, benefits include:
"We are pleased to have earned this opportunity to renew and expand our offerings to the public sector," said Richard Raffetto, head of Public Sector and Financial Institutions for U.S. Bank's Wholesale Banking Division. "We are eager to put our payment expertise to work helping public-sector organizations and educational institutions operate more efficiently and improve stewardship of their financial resources."
The new charge card services contract was awarded through the WSCA-NASPO Cooperative Purchasing Organization, the cooperative purchasing arm of the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO). WSCA-NASPO leverages the collective demand of public and educational entities to procure goods and services. It follows a "lead state" operating model, in which one state manages the solicitation and awards the contract through which other entities get access to the products and pricing.
Enterprise Services, on behalf of the state of Washington, managed the solicitation and will administer the new contract.
The new contract has a five-year term with the option to be renewed for two additional years. It will be phased into use.

I tried this beta release briefly on an SGI UV early-access system running SLES 11 and ran into the following: 1. Installing the SLES libcap-devel and pam-devel RPMs were required to build this version of TORQUE, which was not the case with earlier versions. Particularly vexing is pam-devel, as I had explicitly disabled PAM support at configure time and yet pam-devel was required to link pbs_mom. 2. There appears to be no way to disable whatever feature turns on the C compiler flag -DUSEJOBCREATE -- is that intentional? 3. On my UV, I run pbs_server and pbs_mom on the same host. For some reason, pbs_server on the UV could not talk to pbs_mom on the UV and thus though it was down. This was not the case with earlier releases, so I fell back to the 2.4.5 build I had been using previously. --Troy -- Troy Baer, HPC System Administrator National Institute for Computational Sciences, University of Tennessee http://www.nics.tennessee.edu/ Phone: 865-241-4233 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Tigers tear past three opponents
By Jay Davis
It took but a few possessions for the Tigers to establish their inside game and assert themselves as the stronger team on Tuesday in McLaughlin. Daniel Roberts scored the first five times he touched ball and the Tigers were out to a 13-5 lead. They nevered look back in beating the Midgets 73-41.
"We most certainly wanted to establish the inside game first," said coach Tim Frederick.
With that taken care of, the Tigers set about establishing their up-tempo, pressure defense and creating easy baskets off fast breaks.
After jumping out to a 19-8 lead after one quarter, the Tigers started the second quarter with an 8-1 run lead that raised the lead to 27-9. The Tigers hit a lull for a while, but still went to the intermission with a 34-20 lead.
"At times we were a little flat," said Frederick. "We got too deliberate."
Amos Talks, who hit a three at the end of the first half, scored on a short hoop to cut the lead to 34-22 to start the second half, but that was as close as the Midgets got. Mobridge-Pollock ripped off the next eight points as part of a 13-2 run that made the score 50-26 and eliminated all but any drama that could come in the second half.
Roberts finished with a game-high 20 points and eight rebounds. He scored 15 points in the first half. Mitch Heumiller heated up with nine points in the third quarter and tallied 17. Zach Dockter made it a trio of Tigers in double figures with a 10-point game. Pearson Wientjes added four points and pulled down a game-high 13 rebounds. He was a major factor in the Tigers holding a 47-23 rebounding edge.
While Frederick was pleased with his Tigers' overall performance, he saw a place the Tigers could make an immediate improvement.
"We have to work hard at finding secondary post-ups," said Frederick, "and recognizing kick-outs for open jump shots."
He said the Tigers are scoring inside and outside, but the 12- to 15-foot jump shot needs to become a bigger part of the team's arsenal.
Payton Tiokasin led the Midgets with 12 points and four rebounds. Austin Sitting Dog added 10 points and four boards. Clifford One Feather came off the bench to hit a pair of threes and score eight points.
Groton Area
A big second quarter was the deciding factor for the second night in a row as the Tigers beat Groton Area 69-54 at Mobridge-Pollock Gymnasium on Saturday.
The Tigers led 22-16 after one quarter after Pearson Wientjes and Daniel Roberts combined for 18 points.
Trading two baskets for one, the Tigers raised their lead to 43-22 before taking off on a 12-2 run to get to the intermission with a 20-point, 44-24 lead. Mitch Heumiller hit two threes and scored eight points in the quarter.
Pressure defense from baseline to baseline has been key for the Tigers lately, and it played a big part in dominating Groton Area in the first half.
"During the Christmas break we had some talks about the defense we want to play," said Frederick, "and we came to understand that we need to play pressure defense. The kids are committed to it."
The pressure defense caused the Tigers problems in the second half as Zach Dockter and Heumiller were both forced to the bench with four fouls each. As soon as the ball handlers were on the sideline, Groton cranked up its pressure. The result was six Tiger turnovers in seven possessions and a one-time 21-point lead had been cut to 61-53 with three minutes to play. As soon as the two guards got back into the game, the Tigers reassumed control and the Tigers pulled away for the 15-point win.
"We had some bad fouls, but if we were doing it all perfect right now I'd be worried," said Frederick.
Roberts used his nine-point first quarter to score a game-high 23 points. He also led the team with nine rebounds.
"Even though we don't have a 6-6 kid, we have a 6-2 kid that no one knows how to guard yet," said Frederick.
Dockter scored 16, while Wientjes and Heumiller scored 10 each.
Mason Madsen scored 21 and Reilly Ell scored 16 for Groton, but both players fouled out trying to contend with the Tigers.
A 15-2 run in the second quarter set the stage for the Tigers to run away and beat Miller 67-48 in Miller on Friday.
The Tigers led 22-18 when the run, fueled by pressure defense and Miller turnovers, turned a tight game into a 37-20 Tiger lead at the half. Getting to the basket for close shots, the Tigers were seven of seven from the field in the quarter.
"Zach, Cody, Mitch, all the guards are loving this pressure defense because they get to make plays," said Frederick.
The teams matched points for most of the third quarter until the Tigers cranked up the pressure again and finished the quarter with a 9-0 run that all but finished the Rustlers as the Tigers led 53-29. Dockter got hot during the run with a three, a two and a steal and layup at the buzzer.
Dockter led the Tigers with a season-high 23 points, including 14 in the pivotal second quarter. Daniel Roberts got the Tigers started with eight points in the first quarter and finished with 16. Cody Schaefbauer scored eight and Heumiller scored seven.
Lee Siversten led Miller with 17 points. Drew Bielke added eight.
Coming up
The Tigers join the Lady Tigers for a trip to Stephan to square off against Crow Creek on Friday.
On Monday the Tigers head across the border for the first game of a home-and-home series as they take on Standing Rock in Ft. Yates.

There is a group of clinicians utilizing this approach for years enduring the critique of the drug dependent research funded academic community. Try to get funding for neurofeedback studies. Unfortunately what gets funded is what has the potential to make money....NOT what's always best for people's health..

I've been treating children and adults with ADHD for 30+ years and the challenge is almost always in discriminating the underlying patterns of arousal regulation and inhibition. Obtaining treatment success without medication has been achieved using EEG biofeedback training coupled with body-centered psychotherapy that enhances self awareness and improves management of arousal. Our research Philadelphia with children in public outpatient and residential mental health programs showed significant improvement in attention, intelligence and school performance. .

Nearly 84,000 people want British CNN host Piers Morgan deported from the U.S. for calling a gun advocate stupid, but at least 6,000 would prefer he'd stay on American soil.
The reason? The U.K. doesn't actually want him back — or so says a new petition posted to the White House e-petition website.
"We want to keep Piers Morgan in the USA," reads the text of the petition, which now has 6,300 signatures.
"There are two very good reasons for this. Firstly, the first amendment. Second and the more important point. No one in the UK wants him back. Actually there is a third. It will be hilarious to see how loads of angry Americans react."
[related_links /]
A petition calling for Morgan's removal was launched on Dec. 21 after he took an aggressive stand for tighter U.S. gun laws in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting.

Banged up for attacking bad boy Connor and off screen for the best part of a year, there's no mistaking Bianca Butcher's dulcet tones when her husband returns from Dubai and visits her in prison on Thursday.
"Rickaaay!" she shrieks across the visiting room. "Look at your tan! It's like Peter Andre. If I wasn't in this goldfish bowl, I'd jump over there and give yer a right old snog. You look well fit."
After being on maternity leave, this is the superb Patsy Palmer's return to Enders, albeit for only two explosive scenes as she's reunited with Ricky – still played by Sid Owen – who's spent five months working abroad. But instead of making his fortune, he was arrested for "indecency", sacked, fined and deported.
With Fat Pat in danger of having the house repossessed and the family needing money for Christmas, Ricky feels like a failure. And his "hot-headed nutter" of a gobby wife isn't too impressed either.
"I hate you!" she yells. "And d'yer know what? The new Ricky Butcher is just as much of a muppet as the old one! An' I wanna divorce!" At least he gets some comfort from his old flame Mandy. And in scenes that will undoubtedly be controversial, the pair of them take drugs and have a rave in a potting shed on the allotments. Unfortunately, Ricky's taken ill and rushed to hospital.
"A larf?" he snaps at Mandy. "You nearly killed me. An' some stuck-up nurse thinks I'm Britain's oldest raver."
But returning to the shed later and kissing, it's not plants they end up bedding. Uh-oh.

Steve Jobs awarded patent for episodic TV on the Apple TV
According to Patently Apple, Apple has been awarded a patent that it filed over five years ago related to sorting episodic TV content on the Apple TV. Steve Jobs himself is among the people credited with the patent, which on the surface merely appears to describe the sorting features already present in the Apple TV's interface.
Patently Apple dug a bit deeper, though, and found an interesting tidbit referring to menus that "correspond to television shows that have either been recorded from a broadcast or purchased from a content provider." This seems to suggest that at one point there were plans to include DVR-like functionality in the Apple TV; it's unclear if those plan

Bogart plays a cold-hearted tycoon whose sole companion in life is The Wall Street Journal. Holden is his wastrel brother, and Hepburn the chauffeur's daughter. Yes, you've guessed what happens. Holden fools around with her, she attempts suicide, is sent to France for a cookery course, returns to melt Bogart's heart, and Holden is left to chair the board. Getting to this characteristic Wilder reversal of roles is romantic, funny and astringent all at the same time. Bogart is the man of plastic - he doesn't burn, melt or scorch - and Wilder satirises him and his ideals ruthlessly. Bogart's age here is crucial: he looks like an undertaker who has sidestepped the youth which Hepburn will give him. The golden boy Holden is the other extreme and equally ridiculous, driving around in his snazzy cars, coerced into a marriage between corporations, and forced to sit on some champagne glasses, enabling Bogart to sort out the Hepburn problem. It's a Cinderella story that gets turned on its head, a satire about breaking down class and emotional barriers (neatly signified in the array of window and glass imagery), and a confrontation between New World callousness and Old World humanity.

Heading into Grosse Pointe North High School's student leadership conference Wednesday, Nov. 14, at First English Lutheran Church, North senior and Student Association president Sophia Avouris expected to discuss the school's strengths and weaknesses and learn to turn both into positives, to become a better leader.
Initially, that was her goal, as it was the 100-plus other organization leaders from North in attendance. Ultimately, she and the others learned that and much, much more. About themselves and their school.
"We have all these things we're going to do this year planned — we have fundraisers, we have a dance, we have a blood drive, we have adopt-a-family," Avouris said. "But (the conference) just kind of gave me a view of how I can organize better, how I can accomplish the whole idea of what do you want to change in your school."
As leaders and ambassadors of the school, Avouris said, it's hers and the others' responsibility to affect change, to make a difference in things such as communication, community perception, student enthusiasm for learning and, most important to the student leaders, to combat cliques and work toward a more peaceful, unified coexistence. One way of doing so, students learned during the day-long event that featured guest lecturer and presenter Tom Heethuis, lies in their ability to cater activities toward those students less likely to participate.
"I thought it was cool how (Heethuis) broke down certain things and gave us good examples of how we should lead," senior and SA senator Sean O'Melia said. "Like, instead of saying we should base things off of ourselves, we should base things off of the people who normally don't participate. Because the people who always do participate will continue to do so no matter what the theme is, and the people who don't normally participate will participate in something they like.
"So, that's something good to think about, and I wish I had learned that when it wasn't my senior year so I could do more things from what I learned here in the next coming years."
While it's an unlikely expectation for Avouris and O'Melia and other senior leaders to make an immediate and long-lasting impact, as all are midway through their senior years, it's their hope to lay a foundation for others, like junior Robert Nesom, to continue to build upon.
"One of my big goals is definitely to get more people involved in different groups," Nesom said. "Because, it's so much of, like, the same kids at all the games, at all the — going to homecoming, helping with homecoming. So, I really just want to get more kids involved and go to all the different groups and people that you normally wouldn't talk to."

Apricot Bread Pudding With Caramel Sauce Recipe - Cooking Index
"I had never been especially fond of bread pudding, but I changed my mind when I tried the one served at The Winchester Country Inn in Ashland, Oregon," says Sandra Miller of Cherry Hill, New Jersey. "Their version is outstanding; it's studded with apricots and topped with a rich caramel sauce."Courses: Dessert
|1 cup
|Grand Marnier = (or other orange liqueur)
|1/4 cup
|5 cups
|Whipping cream
|6 cups
|1188g / 41oz
|Eggs (large)

Around my house we have been going through almost everything trying to cut bills. One of our most recent cuts was our home phone service. We were paying Verizon @$35 per month for a phone number with NO long distance.
First I checked out the Sprint phone system that goes onto your Sprint cellular account. After finding out that there was a $20 charge monthly I quickly decided against it. I recently heard the quality of this service while talking to someone. I am very glad that I didn't go that route. It sounded like the other party was talking through a tin can.
What I did was I went online and did some research on the NEW MagicJack Plus unit. The first thing I did was to make sure that my home number could be ported over. Yes. The next thing was to confirm faxing capability. Yes.
Let's talk about savings…
The cost for MagicJack Plus service is $29.99 per year.
Installation was a snap. Plug the MagicJack Plus into the computer, and register the unit. Then take the unit and plug it directly into your router. No other work needs to be done. After that you can go to the My MagicJack site to configure anything else you need.
With that being said I must forewarn everyone so that they avoid aggravation later.
Magicjack Plus is capable of faxing. The hitch is that the fax machine needs to be capable of auto speed changing. This is common with most run of the mill fax machines. I have a Magicolor 4690MF that will probably work, but being I haven't found the correct sequence of changes to the TX settings I had to put my old fax/printer online just for faxing.
With all the money we are trying to save we should be able to keep living the way we are, but the difference is that the economy isn't going to make me a statistic. Maybe this year I will even get to send out holiday cards because I can actually afford them this year.
I will update everyone again in a few more weeks after I have tried it out a bit longer.

2012-12-13 / Business
City's first hookah lounge bubbles up
Xhale, the first hookah lounge in Thousand Oaks, is set to open in January.
The 18-and-over venue where patrons can smoke shisha, or flavored tobacco, was approved by city permit process manager Marjan Behzadi at a Nov. 29 administrative hearing. The business is at 1414 E. Thousand Oaks Blvd.
The hearing was necessary because of objections from three individuals, including a nearby business owner, who are primarily concerned about exposure to secondhand smoke.
Project planner Matt Chang said the decision to approve Xhale was based on the property's commercial land use designation, which allows for hookah bars.
"We don't have the authority to deny or approve a project based on health concerns," Chang told the Acorn this week.
Despite the objections, the decision was not appealed by the Nov. 10 deadline, Chang said, meaning Xhale is going forward.
The 1,500-square-foot hookah lounge and tobacco shop is scheduled to open in mid-January at the former site of the Bellini baby furniture store in the Four Friends Center.
Hookahs, which originate from India, consist of a container of water connected to one or multiple long, flexible pipes through which smoke passes. Shisha smoke smells like the flavors, such as peach, strawberry and apple, on which the tobacco is based.
Operating hours will be from noon to 2 a.m. daily, which is consistent with the hours of similar businesses along Thousand Oaks Boulevard, a staff report said. Behzadi did not take a city staff recommendation to approve shorter hours of operation for the lounge—from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m.
Under the Thousand Oaks Boulevard Specific Plan, adopted last year, a hookah or cigar lounge can be considered through a special use permit application.
Lounge owners Shubyre Humkar and Ahmad Hadi, cousins from Simi Valley, applied for the permit in August.
"There's no competition anywhere nearby," said Humkar, 23, a Cal Lutheran University graduate who inherited the Cig Star smoke shop in Thousand Oaks from his father after he graduated from Santa Susana High School in Simi Valley. He also owns Tobacco Royale shops in Newbury Park and Calabasas. Hadi, 25, ran a smoke shop in Hollywood.
"It's somewhere where people can relax, have fun and get away from the daily stress of life," Humkar said.
The venue, which will have dark hardwood floors and five televisions, will serve food and nonalcoholic drinks. Neither the sale and consumption of alcohol nor outdoor smoking will be allowed at the site.
Catherine Beall, owner of the Hummingbird and the Honey Bee spiritual center and bookshop, said she was worried that loitering as well as smoke drifting from the store could cause disturbances at her business 500 feet away.
"I want to ensure the safety and security of my customers and employees as they walk to and from their vehicles, especially during the evening hours," Beall told the city in a letter before last month's hearing. "Classes, seminars and workshops are held in the building throughout the entire week, both during the day and at night, and require customers to walk past the proposed hookah lounge."
Tracey Boyer, who works at the Hummingbird, wrote that continuous smoking at the lounge would affect customers.
"Our clientele have consistently been offended by just a lone smoker loitering outside Supercuts next door," she said. "The smoke travels all along the building front and whisks in the front door as our customers enter or leave."
The venue's ventilation system will be modified so smoke can't circulate to its neighbors, Chang said.

POLICE in Verwood are launching a crackdown on anti-social behaviour for the second summer in a row.
Officers used dispersal powers last year to move on groups behaving inappropriately which led to a 50 per cent reduction in offences.
Now they are stepping up patrols and urging members of the public to report any incidents.
Last year police used their section 30 dispersal powers on eight occasions. Two of these instances involved a person under the age of 16.
Officers also issued 20 dispersal notices under Section 27 of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006. This power is available to officers as a tool to tackle alcohol-related anti-social behaviour and nuisance. Total recorded crime in Verwood halved from 58 reports in July 2013 to 27 in August 2013. The force also saw a fall in the number of reports of anti-social behaviour during the same period.
Safer Neighbourhood Police Sergeant Nicola Loftus said: "The problem needed fairly robust policing as a core group of people were showing a total disregard for the community. This resulted in an Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO) being made on one individual and an acceptable behaviour contract on another.
"Fortunately, since the end of the summer last year, the number of reported incidents of anti-social behaviour has reduced dramatically.
"With the lighter evenings and more opportunity for people to be out on the streets and in open spaces we would ask that any anti-social behaviour is quickly reported to the police on 101 to ensure we do not have a repeat of the problems of last year.
"I would also like to remind anyone considering acting in this way that Dorset Police will not tolerate this level of nuisance within East Dorset and we will take action against you."
Dorset Police are working with partners, including the Dorset Youth Service, Synergy Housing Association and the East Dorset Community Safety Team, to ensure that young people are kept safe and not encouraged to get involved in anti-social behaviour.

Where do your beliefs and opinions come from? If you are like most people, you probably like to believe that your beliefs are the result of years of experience and objective analysis of the information you have available. The reality is that all of us are susceptible to a tricky problem known as a confirmation bias. While we like to imagine that our beliefs are rational, logical, and objective, the fact is that our ideas are often based on paying attention to the information that upholds our ideas and ignoring the information that challenges our existing beliefs.

What Is a Confirmation Bias?

A confirmation bias is a type of cognitive bias that involves favoring information that confirms previously existing beliefs or biases. For example, imagine that a person holds a belief that left-handed people are more creative than right-handed people. Whenever this person encounters a person that is both left-handed and creative, they place greater importance on this "evidence" supporting their already existing belief. This individual might even seek "proof" that further backs up this belief while discounting examples that do not support this idea.

Confirmation biases impact how people gather information, but they also influence how people interpret and recall information. For example, people who support or oppose a particular issue will not only seek information that supports their beliefs, they will also interpret news stories in a way that upholds their existing ideas and remember things in a way that also reinforces these attitudes.

Examples of Confirmation Biases in Action

Consider the debate over gun control. Sally is in support of gun control. She seeks out news stories and opinion pieces that reaffirm the need for limitations on gun ownership. When she hears stories about shootings in the media, she interprets them in a way that supports her existing beliefs. Henry, on the other hand, is adamantly opposed to gun control. He seeks out news sources that are aligned with his position, and when he comes across news stories about shootings, he interprets them in a way that supports his current point of view.

The Impact of Confirmation Biases

A number of experiments conducted during the 1960s demonstrated that people have a tendency to seek information that confirms their existing beliefs. Unfortunately, this type of bias can prevent us from looking at situations objectively, can influence the decisions we make, and can lead to poor or faulty choices.

During an election season, for example, people tend to seek positive information that paints their favored candidates in a good light while looking for information that casts the opposing candidate in a negative light. By not seeking out objective facts, interpreting information in a way that only supports their existing beliefs, and only remembering details that uphold these beliefs, people often miss important information that might have otherwise influenced their decision on which candidate to support.

Observations

"Persons believing in extrasensory perception (ESP) will keep close track of instances when they were 'thinking about Mom, and then the phone rang and it was her!' Yet they ignore the far more numerous times when (a) they were thinking about Mom and she didn't call and (b) they weren't thinking about Mom and she did call. They also fail to recognize that if they talk to Mom about every two weeks, their frequency of "thinking about Mom" will increase near the end of the two-week-interval, thereby increasing the frequency of a 'hit.'"
(Goodwin, 2010)

"We also ignore information that disputes our expectations. We are more likely to remember (and repeat) stereotype-consistent information and to forget or ignore stereotype-inconsistent information, which is one-way stereotypes are maintained even in the face of disconfirming evidence. If you learn that your new Canadian friend hates hockey, loves sailing and that your new Mexican friend hates spicy foods and loves rap music, you are less likely to remember this new stereotype-inconsistent information."
(Sanderson, 2010)

"Groopman (2007) points out that the confirmation bias can couple with the availability bias in producing misdiagnosis in a doctor's office. A doctor who had jumped to a particular hypothesis as to what disease a patient has may then ask questions and look for evidence that tends to confirm that diagnosis while overlooking evidence that would tend to disconfirm it. Groopman suggests that medical training should include a course in inductive reasoning that would make new doctors aware of such biases. Awareness, he things, would lead to fewer diagnostic errors. A good diagnostician will test his or her initial hypothesis by searching for evidence against that hypothesis."
(Gray, 2011)

Forum trolls are generally people who seek to cause trouble in the Warcraft Community Forums, creating or responding to provocative or nonsensical threads. The term itself is derived from general internet lingo for someone who "trolls" for replies and flame-wars, though within the WoW community there is some confusion due to the prevalence of the Troll humanoid race. Another explanation for the name could be that it was taken from the Troll in Scandinavian folklore; a slow, stupid and often rabble-rousing ogre. Recently, the term forum troll has developed into an excuse for using Master Suppression Techniques on opponents in forum disputes.
A majority of forum trolls that post use low-level alternate characters.
In December 2008, a guild within the World of Warcraft game environment pursued successful legal action against the harassment of one server troll, getting settlement as a legal agreement to cease action against their guild and an apology for said behavior.[citation needed]

Phenylpropanoids, particularly flavonoids have been recently suggested as playing primary antioxidant functions in the responses of plants to a wide range of abiotic stresses. Furthermore, flavonoids are effective endogenous regulators of auxin movement, thus behaving as developmental regulators. Flavonoids are capable of controlling the development of individual organs and the whole-plant; and, hence, to contribute to stress-induced morphogenic responses of plants. The significance of flavonoids as scavengers of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in humans has been recently questioned, based on the observation that the flavonoid concentration in plasma and most tissues is too low to effectively reduce ROS. Instead, flavonoids may play key roles as signaling molecules in mammals, through their ability to interact with a wide range of protein kinases, including mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), that supersede key steps of cell growth and differentiation. Here we discuss about the relative significance of flavonoids as reducing agents and signaling molecules in plants and humans. We show that structural features conferring ROS-scavenger ability to flavonoids are also required to effectively control developmental processes in eukaryotic cells.
Flavonoids, the vast class of secondary metabolites encompassing more than 10,000 structures, have long been reported as serving multiple functions in plants suffering from a wide array of environmental injuries [
However, recent evidence suggests that UVB-induced flavonoid biosynthesis is not for primarily fulfilling UV-screening functions [
Flavonoids have long been also suggested to perform reducing functions in humans.

In this brief review article, we discuss about the relative significance of flavonoids as antioxidants and developmental regulators in plants and humans. We show that flavonoids may preserve humans from several diseases and exert a developmental control in plants through very similar action modes.
The concentration and the inter- and intra-cellular locations of flavonoids in leaves exposed to high-light stress are suitable for antioxidant functions [
Recent evidence shows that antioxidant flavonoids are located in the nucleus of mesophyll cells, and hence capable of quenching H2O2 and H2O2-generated hydroxyl radical (

It is not surprising that plants being sessile organisms have developed much more efficient mechanisms to quench ROS as compared with animals. Plants may suffer from massive generation of ROS not only on a daily, but also on a seasonal basis, as a consequence of an excess of radiant energy reaching the photosynthetic apparatus [
Flavonoids in low concentrations are capable of displaying functional roles of extraordinary significance in plant-environment interactions [
To fully accomplish ROS-quenching activities flavonoids have to be in the high μM range. It has been authoritatively suggested [

The control of flavonoids on auxin movement may have great value in the stress-induced morphogenic responses (SIMR) of plants, the flight strategy of sessile organisms exposed to unfavorable environments [
Actually, SIMR may contribute to diminishing the oxidative damage driven by excess radiant energy at organ and whole-plant levels (an antioxidant function,
In humans, flavonoids behave as developmental regulators/signaling molecules as well [
The flavonoid-MAPK relationships in plants are an intriguing, still unexplored issue that may link the action modes of flavonoids in humans and plants. The MAPKs are activated in response to free radical-induced injury in cells and contribute to the processes of cellular survival or death [
A raf-like MAPKKK gene confers drought tolerance in rice by enhancing the activity of peroxidase: it is possible that flavonoids are involved in this response, as flavonoids are preferential substrates for peroxidases [
Noticeably, flavonoid biosynthesis likely follows oxidative stress events, as MYB transcription factors that regulate the biosynthesis of flavonoids are activated by changes in redox homeostasis. Recently, ABA has been shown to regulate the biosynthesis of flavonoids, and MAPK cascade functions in ABA signaling, and to be downstream of ABA-induced ROS production [
Flavonoids serve a multiplicity of functions in eukariotic cells not only because of their location in different cells and sub-cellular compartments, but also as a consequence of their chemical structures. Stress-responsive flavonoids display a great potential to reduce various forms of reactive oxygen species, a common condition to which plants are faced with when experiencing different stresses of abiotic and biotic origin. Antioxidant flavonoids may contribute greatly to ROS-detoxification through chemical ROS quenching in plant cells, whereas in human cells, their functions as reducing agents appears of relatively minor significance. However, flavonoids may serve similar functions in plants and humans (in high nanomolar to low micromolar range) by tightly regulating the activities of different protein kinases, which, in turn, are responsible for mediating ROS-induced signaling cascades vital to cell growth and differentiation. These functional roles are effectively served by ROS-quenching flavonoids. The flavonoid-protein kinases relationships, which have been extensively investigated in humans, have not yet received attention in plants. Here we note that MAPKs are activated by oxidative stress signals and mediate responses of plants to vastly different stressors. Flavonoids have the potential to greatly affect MPAK signaling cascades in plants not only by directly binding to the active sites of the proteins, but also modulating their activation through ROS-scavenging activities.

Your effort will be best spent in supporting and campaigning for the candidates running for school board so we can replace the two incumbents who are up for re-election. Until those two incumbents are replaced, there will not be any improvements in the district.

Westminster College's Emily Atkinson has been setting up Alexis Aalona for a long time.
Since playing at Cottonwood High, Atkinson has been feeding Aalona, a partnership that has scored big for the Griffins as they enter the Frontier Conference tournament Friday at Montana Tech.
Westminster enters the conference tournament at 7-8 in conference, which gives the Griffins hope they can get on a roll.
"I think we're the dark-horse favorite," coach Kim Norman said. "In a time when the conference is a lot more competitive, I think this is one of the best teams I've ever coached."
Leading the attack for the Griffins is Atkinson, a junior. Her 10.6 assists per set leads the conference, and her role as playmaker has given Westminster a 14-12 overall record.
Atkinson's role on the court is similar to a quarterback. She has to know where the lapses in defense are and set up her hitters in the best location.
"It's definitely all about connecting with your teammates and exploding on the ball at the right time," Atkinson said. "We're always striving to play our best."
At the net, Aalona, a sophomore, has made it her mission to properly execute and find the right holes in the defense. Her .178 kills percentage leads the conference, and she attributes her success to Atkinson's leadership and ball placement.
"We have awesome communication and connect really well," Aalona said.
The transition to playing volleyball at the college level initially was difficult for Aalona. The game moved faster, the players were stronger and the competition more intense. She credits playing for the Utah Juniors, an elite traveling team, for preparing her for her first college match.
"Last year when I played my first game, I was like 'Oh gosh. This is like club play times 10,' " Aaolona said. "I'm finally playing my game."
Norman is confident her team can come together during the conference tournament and advance to the NAIA national championship.
"The kids that come out the hottest will win, and we're on the right track for the [conference] finals," Norman said. "It's all a matter of who can execute."
College Colts
Emily Atkinson is 115 assists from a being the third player in school history to get 1,000 assists in a season.
Alexis Aalona leads the conference in kills percentage at .178.
Atkinson is an elementary education major. Aalona is undecided.

The head of MLC & NAB Wealth,
His division, which accounts for about 7 per cent of group revenue, posted unchanged cash earnings of $298 million. Underlying profit rose 5.7 per cent to $388 million.
But sluggish fund flows caused by investors' nervousness about stockmarkets and the attractive deposit rates offered by banks mean investment conditions remain subdued.
Funds under management at the end of March were about 7 per cent higher at $122 billion because of improvement in equity markets, which was partly offset by outflows.
"Investor sentiment remains cautious," he said. "Discretionary flows are still below historical levels."
Mr Tucker said the "accelerated" pace of merger and acquisitions activity would be maintained as the sector responded to the "future of financial advice" reforms being introduced by the federal government.
Additional change would come as advisers, licensees and product manufacturers were faced with having to adjust their business models to the government's proposal to remove volume-based payments.
Mr Tucker repeated his criticism of the government's surprise proposal to scrap commissions on insurance sales inside superannuation and said he would lobby to have it reinstated. "We and the industry are very keen to talk about opening it up," he said.
He expects AMP's successful bid for AXA Asia Pacific Holdings, made possible by the competition regulator's rejection of NAB's offer, would be imitated by industry funds and advisory groups.
MLC & NAB Wealth's recent acquisitions have been aimed at building up its advisory network and augmenting its multi-manager investment capacity.
During the past six months it increased adviser numbers by 11 per cent to about 1730, with 113 coming from the acquisition of Meritum Financial Group and about 60 from new adviser recruitment.
NabInvest continued to boost direct asset management during the same period with the acquisition of UK-based Wiltshire Capital, a credit opportunities fund manager; and New York-based AREA Property Partners, a global real estate fund manager with about $US13 billion under management. It also is integrating the Aviva wealth management business, which it bought in 2009.
"Underlying profit performance has been quite good," Mr Tucker said.
An overall revenue increase of about 4.5 per cent was helped by higher funds under management, despite lower margins, and higher premiums in force.
"Claims experience for individual disability and lump sum was unfavourable, partially offset by lower claims for group business," a bank statement said.
Expenses rose by about 4 per cent because of the inclusion of a full half-year contribution of JBWere, compared with only five months in the previous corresponding period, and investment in salaried advisers and private bankers, the statement said.
The private wealth business is continuing to develop a new private client platform to migrate clients from the existing Goldman Sachs system.
Mr Tucker's MLC Wrap and Navigator platform, which has become a key battleground in wealth managers' drive for market share, has been ranked No. 1 by Investment Trends, a market research group.

text: It was hidden under the front steps of a vacant house, half buried in leaves, but still I knew what it was a bottle. Not an empty throw-away, but filled with brown liquid and securely capped. I had discovered someones secret and it scared me. I visualized retribution. I could be tortured, perhaps even killed. After all, when youre just a little kid the whole world seems a threat. I didnt touch it. I turned quickly and ran home. A few days later my fear returned when I was interrupted in my play by a big, mean-looking man who asked if I knew where he could find some whiskey. He spoke very gently, but he didnt fool me. He had seen me playing in the area of his treasure and was now trying to allay my fears as he contemplated some diabolical scheme to do me in. I had picked fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil and now I would truly have to pay for my transgression. Knowing full well I was breaking another commandment, I found no other choice I lied, no. But how convincing can a visibly shaken eight-year-old be?As the days wore on I was not captured and beaten with a rubber hose, or subjected to water torture, or forced to eat worms. My terror subsided and I began to believe I still might live to the ripe old age of 15.It was no secret to anyone in the neighborhood that business was being conducted at the little house on the corner. It was understood by all when a car stopped at the house in the dark hours of the night, left the engine running and was gone in a few minutes, they were not delivering pizza. The people living there were not a problem to the neighbors. They were not noisy, they kept to themselves but always spoke pleasantly to passers-by. Not at all the threat of my earlier fears.I never learned if the whiskey was made on the premises, but I would rather believe it was only a distribution point. It would seem reasonable for the house to be kept clean, so to speak, against the possibility of a raid by enforcement officials. Secreting the merchandise at various locations where it would be readily available when a customer arrived would assure the home would not betray evidence of the operation.I remember on occasion one of the fellows would leave the house carrying bathing trunks and head for the nearby creek which was considered locally to be the old swimming hole. He never enjoyed a long, leisurely swim for he was back in just a few minutes carrying wet trunks that now seemed a lot fuller than on the trip down. We always assumed that bulk supplies were stored in the stream and tied to an underwater willow root.I had a niece much too young to understand what was going on. On one occasion, an older man walked by our home wearing gum boots. Being familiar with the word, if not the implications, she cried out, to the dismay of all present including the man wearing the boots, Look, mommy, there goes a bootlegger.It was well-known by the youth of the neighborhood that two pennies would be paid for a discarded empty bottle if delivered to the back door. I found one of those bottles and planned to deliver it and claim my reward. My wise old mother, though not forbidding me, explained that would make me a part of an illegal and immoral act. I understood her point and threw the bottle away for someone else to find.In those years before prohibition ended, it was the worst of times. Jobs were few and far between and any man with a quarter in his pocket felt blessed. It probably seemed the natural thing to do for someone with the courage and the skill to get into the bootlegging business. To him it was likely viewed not so much a sin to have found a way to put bread on the table as it was an affront to a government more concerned with revenue loss than moral considerations.Even today Im sure there are stills operating in remote locations and government has abandoned any thought of morals and is solely concerned with revenue. Shades of the 19th century and manifest destiny. My thought is, whether it comes from a copper tub in the deep woods, or a licensed distillery in Kentucky, the greatest evil is immoderate use that results in broken homes and abuse and carnage on our highways. Whatever our excuses are, we cannot justify these end results.(Harold Russell was born and raised in Cambridge and today is retired in the Muskingum County community of Gratiot.

There's no magic bullet for losing weight. The most effective way to lose weight and keep it off is through lifestyle changes. Eat a healthy low-calorie diet with lots of fruits and vegetables and be physically active. Weight-loss pills — prescription medicines, nonprescription drugs, herbal medicines or other dietary supplements — are all, at best, tools that may help with weight loss. But there is relatively little research about these products, and the best studied of these are prescription weight-loss drugs. For example, a 2014 study reviewed 21 long-term trials of prescription drugs for treating obesity. The researchers concluded that when a person makes appropriate lifestyle changes, a prescription weight-loss drug increases the likelihood of achieving "clinically meaningful" weight loss within a year.
Clinically meaningful weight loss — enough weight loss to begin lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other diseases — is generally defined as 5 percent or more of body weight. It's important to consider, however, that weight loss achieved in a research setting may be greater than in actual practice. Also, possible side effects and adverse reactions to weight-loss pills can affect the treatment outcome. A reasonable expectation, therefore, is that prescription weight-loss pills may be beneficial, but they won't be magical. They do not work for everyone, and their benefit may be modest. And researchers know much less about the potential benefits and risks of over-the-counter weight-loss products.
