text: Hello, I would just like to share my on going search for the receiver that would fit my requirements. Over the last few months I have learned a great deal about receivers and sound in general. My equipment so far is as follows: Sony KL-W9000 HTPC with the Delta 410 sound card 4 JBL S-26 II S-Center II The receivers I actually bought and tried at home: H/K AVR-520 ONKYO TX-SR600 Receivers I tried tested at the store (Magnolia Hi-Fi) using MK speakers: Sony ES STR-DA4ES Yamaha RX-V1300 Denon 3802 After listening to all these receivers, this is what I found: The Onkyo is well week. The sound is okay, but nothing special. There is no real upgrade path either with this receiver. However, it does have a nice remote and easy setup. The H/K has a much better sound than the onkyo. The remote is rather dysfunctional. There is just way too many lights on the receiver. Also, the setup is a little bit more confusing. But the sound more than makes up for those issues. So I returned both the onkyo and H/K. I just went to Magnolia and to my surprise they had all the receivers I wanted to listen too. Based on the last three, the Yamaha has slightly better music abilities but the Sony was extremely close to Yamaha. Now the Denon I would say came in a good third in the music category. Now on to movies, the Denon I would give first place but only by maybe 2% if you listen very very close you can tell the different oh so slightly from the Denon and Sony. The Sony did do a great job keeping up to the Denon in regards to sound but the Yamaha was just not impressive what so ever in the movie department. So after spending about 2 hours and having my head feel like it was spinning, it really came down to the Denon and the Sony. The Sony had some great features and really nice build quality with a 5 year warrantee to boot. Not to mention all the features I was looking for in a receiver for this time. So I ended up ordering the Sony from Jandr for a kick as price. If you are interested in this receiver, I would highly recommend calling them. Thanks, Perry

Clueless Movie Reviews: "Godzilla"The new Godzilla focuses on delivering a spectacle worthy of the King of Monsters, while also honoring dramatic themes and concepts for which the original 1954 Japanese classic and the 1956 American version starring Raymond Burr were famous for. Curiously enough, however, the new film misses the mark because, among other things, there's simply not enough monster movie mayhem and far too little fun.

PRESSURE on the Bank of England to raise interest rates rose yesterday after stronger-than-expected growth in retail sales and production.
Growth in High Street sales reached its highest level since May 2002, according to official figures from the Office for National Statistics.
Sale volumes in December increased 0.9% against a rise of 0.1% in November, the highest monthly increase since June 2003.
Total retail sales grew by 1.9% in the three months between October and December against the previous three months when the growth was 1.4%.
Meanwhile, estimated gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 0.9% in the fourth quarter of 2003 against the previous three months.
The figure of 2.1% for 2003 as a whole is in line with the forecast made by Chancellor Gordon Brown last month.
The figures outstrip some analysts' expectations and are likely to increase speculation that the Bank of England's nine-member monetary policy committee will raise interest rates by at least 0.25% when it meets in February.
Members may be concerned that the continuing consumer confidence and house price rises could threaten an emerging economic recovery.
The value of retail sales averaged £6.1bn per week during the Christmas month, a 4.3% increase on December 2002.
Department stores and other non-specialised stores reported strong increases.
Specialist retailers of household goods, electronic games and mobile phones saw a good performance.
Mobile phone shops also reported increased sales of hands-free kits.
However, supermarket sales continued to grow at a much slower rate than for non-food stores.
Many retailers, particularly women's clothing outlets, reported moving their end of year sales earlier into December as they tried to offset perceived caution among consumers prompted by November's rise in interest rates.
The growth in GDP was the highest since the first quarter of 2001.
There was a small increase in manufacturing output, while output of the service industries was estimated to have grown 1% by the end of the quarter.

My worry this is a bit of wishful thinking from the Maltese side. Cyprus with its increasingly insurmountable deficit is more worried about funding operation over the next year. I do hope President Christofias saw how open to the public is the palace; i would love to have such accessibility in the Cyprus Presidential gardens (although to their credit the presidential palace has been partially opened up with the new ring park that envelops it.
Cyprus and Malta share 'worries' on migrants
Cyprus will use its six-month stint as EU president to encourage other member states to contribute more to resolving irregular migration difficulties.
The island's EU presidency would also ensure "social sensitivity" guiding any response to the ongoing eurozone crisis, Cypriot President Demetris Christofias said yesterday.
Mr Christofias was addressing a joint press conference with Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi, held on the last day of his brief Malta visit in the build-up to Cyprus assuming the presidency on July 1.
Saying Malta and Cyprus shared "common worries and interests" over irregular migration, Mr Christofias assumed a defensive tone. "We're not racists but we must defend the rights of our countries," he said.
As with Malta, irregular migration ranks high among Cypriot concerns. Both island-states have insisted on increased solidarity from northern member states.
But both have received strident international criticism over their migration and integration policies.
Malta's mandatory detention policy has drawn criticism from several quarters and a 2010 British Council report found migrants in Cyprus had the worst labour-market access across the EU.
Mr Christofias said Cypriot exposure to Greek bonds had caused its banking system great problems. But any solution to the crisis could not ignore the needs of society's most vulnerable groups, he insisted.
Dr Gonzi said Malta and Cyprus were in "full agreement" on this issue, with the EU-wide focus on growth "moving hand-in-hand with its cohesion policy".
"Europe needs growth," he said. Those three words came mere hours after new economic statistics confirmed Malta had officially entered into recession, a state of affairs familiar to Mr Christofias, who has previously mooted the possibility of Cyprus tapping EU bailout funds.
After the press conference, the chairman of one of Cyprus' largest banks said the country would require some form of EU financial assistance.
Mr Christofias briefly touched upon Turkey's EU accession bid, saying the country would need to fulfil various obligations before joining the 27-state bloc.
The Maltese government has previously said it would be happy to welcome Turkey into the EU provided it satisfied all membership criteria. Turkey has said it will break off ties with the EU Council during the Cypriot presidency.
Dr Gonzi and Mr Christofias also discussed the future financing of the EU, concerns over mounting violence in North Africa and the possibility of further cooperation within the energy, water and tourism sectors.

BAGHDAD, Iraq – Iraq has executed 27 "terrorists" convicted by Iraqi courts of killings and rapes in several provinces, the government said Thursday.
The 27 were executed in Baghdad on Wednesday, the government's media office said in a brief statement. It did not provide further details.
A senior justice official said all 27 were Iraqis, and two had been convicted of terrorism-related charges. The other 25, including one woman, were convicted of murder and kidnappings.
The sentences were carried out by hanging, the official said, requesting that his name not be used because he was not authorized to speak to the media about the executions.

WALLA WALLA, Wash- In the first game of the season, a pitcher's duel is expected with teams sending out its best arm. That is what fans got at Borleske Stadium on opening night as the Walla Walla Sweets (1-0) took down the Victoria HarbourCats (0-1) 2-1.
The star of the game was Sweets' pitcher Easton Lucas (Pepperdine). Coming off his All-Star season in the West Coast League last year, he spun a stellar four and two-thirds innings, giving up just three hits and one run while striking out eight. He struck out six in a row at one point.
The offense was provided in two different frames for the Sweets. Nick Nyquist (Gonzaga) brought in the game's first run, plating Hunter Villanueva (Fresno Pacific), in the first inning on an infield RBI single to second base. Victoria would then answer with an RBI double in the top of the second to tie the score.
The go-ahead run did not come until the fifth inning when nine-hole hitter Zach Weisz (Cal State Fullerton) singled back up the middle, scoring Connor Doyle (San Diego) and that would do it on the scoreboard.
The HarbourCats would threaten in the sixth with the bases loaded and two outs, but Garrett Atkinson (Whitman) induced a fly-out to end the threat he created by walking the bases loaded.
Kyle Narahara (Cal State Monterey Bay) came in in the ninth and struck out the side to cap off a 14 strikeout day for Sweets pitching.
The Sweets showed off the speed tonight, stealing six bases. Villanueva led the way with two for Walla Walla.
The Sweets and the HarbourCats will match-up in game two tomorrow night at 7:05. Walla Walla will turn to Jackson Weeg (Emory) to try for the series victory and Victoria will send Casey Costello (Orange Coast College) to the mound.
About the Walla Walla Sweets:

Your dog is this type if he:Is very energetic, loves long walks, eagerly watches and chases anything that moves, and has a great willingness to retrieve balls and other thrown toys. He is very attentive to you and your signals and generally likes to keep you in his line of sight. He thrives on reward-based training and can learn many new responses and tricks easily and quickly.
Livestock Herding Dogs love the great outdoors and generally have a lot of stamina, having been bred for working very long hours out in fields, mountains and hillsides in all weathers. They are not put off by wet or cold weather, so fair-weather walkers or couch potatoes should probably consider a dog from another group.
Although long walks are appreciated, mental exercise is equally important for Livestock Protection Dogs. Walking the same boring route day after day will leave them barely exercised and bored, but the concentration and focused activity of a challenging half-hour of training and learning new tricks can leave them tired and happy. Variety is very important to Livestock Herding Dogs so be ready to vary walks and go to as many different environments as possible, including beaches, woodland, open fields, hills, riversides and so on.
Given these dogs' natural propsensity for chasing and herding, a reliable recall is also essential to keep them away from any hazards, such as chasing a squirrel towards a road, or if you encounter livestock on a country walk.
Sports that combine mind and body exercise are ideal, including agility (an obstacle course for dogs), competitive obedience, heelwork to music (dancing with your dog), rally-O (a fun obedience course), sheepdog trials, working trials (a mixture of obedience and agility, trained to a high standard), treibball ('herding' gym balls) or flyball (a relay race over jumps, triggering and catching a tennis ball and returning back to the start for the next dog to start the run). Size is a factor, of course: a Corgi is unlikely to manage scaling the obstacles required in working trials, but would enjoy rally-O and agility; a German Shepherd, however, is ideally suited to working trials.
Independent play
Dogs in this group are bright and can learn to work independently of their owner, but usually prefer to keep you, their 'shepherd', in sight. For example, if you are working in the garden and are not able to throw balls for them to fetch, they are often happy to play independently and move the ball around for themselves. If left on their own with nothing to amuse themselves, they will often devise their own activities – be it herding the family cat, chasing their own tail or barking to call you back to play with them; and once they know what gets your attention, you may start to be manipulated into providing more regular attention than you perhaps intended.
Suitable independent games include puzzle toys where he has to figure out how to move the correct covers or blocks on a board to reveal treats. You can also fill treat-dispensing toys (the ball-type and bouncing varities are particularly enjoyed by this group, as they enjoy chasing) and hide them so he can play 'hunt the toy'. Once he has found them, he can then rise to the challenge and occupy his mind and exercise his physical dexterity at removing the treats from the toys. Hiding the treats in small cereal boxes is a cheaper and easy alternative to buying commercially manufactured treat-toys.
Livestock Herding Dogs – particularly Collies – love chasing after balls and returning them to be thrown again and again, but for the owner that wants a rest, ball-throwing machines are now available and scoop toys will help you throw the ball further and less often. You should always be on hand to supervise these often highly energetic and active games to ensure your dog's safety.
Playing with the owner
This group love to work and play with their human family and they are quite time-intensive dogs, needing a good deal of occupation and stimulation each day to compensate for not working full-time with cattle or sheep.
On slower off-lead walks, German Shepherd Dogs, for example, will often circle their family group, naturally herding everyone to ensure there are no stragglers. Hide-and-seek is a great game for them – if one of your group hides, your herder will quickly notice their absence and run off to find them and encourage them back to the group. Children love this game. Many Livestock Herding Dogs don't need to be taught this game, but if yours needs a helping paw there are training instructions elsewhere on this page.
The 'fetch' game is another activity that many herding dogs do naturally; some Border Collies will bring you a tennis ball or a frisbee to throw endlessly.
Don't expect him to stop when he is tired: he will just keep on until you stop, so be careful not to go beyond his limits. Excessive jumping for Frisbees can cause joint problems, and injuries can occur if he lands awkwardly or stops suddenly.
Training together in a dog sport is a great idea, but if you don't have the time for regular classes and competitions, take a short taster course and buy some agility equipment – a couple of jumps, a tunnel, some weave poles etc - for some fun games in the garden. These items can easily be improvised if you don't want to purchase any equipment, although agility sets are usually quite affordable. Older children in the family will enjoy running a course with the dog.
Livestock Herding Dogs are bright dogs and are quick to learn with reward-based training. Train them at any opportunity throughout the day – while the kettle is boiling, during a TV ad break, etc. These 'little-and-often' sessions will keep their brains ticking over far more effectively than long, less frequent sessions. However, do not over-stimulate them with endless new experiences and 24/7 entertainment – they need down-time to relax and switch off for best performance and maximum enjoyment later.
Hide-and-seek in five easy steps
You will need: a willing friend and a 'smelly' treat, such as dried tripe or small piece of strong cheese
• In your home, ask a friend or family member to hold your dog. Then, armed with a smelly treat, hide somewhere in another room – maybe behind the sofa or a door. • Call your hound's name and say your recall word (e.g. "Come"), at which point your friend should release the dog, so that he can come and find you. • It won't take him very long at all to track down the smelly treat – and you with it – at which point, you should give him lots of praise and a piece of the treat. • Repeat the game and, over time, make it increasingly harder for your dog to find you by, for example, going outside to hide in the garden where there may be more distractions, and then hiding on walks in places where it is safe for your dog to be off the lead.• If the dog needs help finding you, make a sound such as "Lalalalalalala." Don't use his name or your "Come" request – say it only once at the beginning of each search.
Dogs of this type sometimes bond strongly with one person, but can enjoy the company of all members of their human family even if they have a particular soft spot for one. It is a good idea to ensure that all family members play with them and feed them, but especially train and exercise them so that they don't become reliant on one person. Livestock Herding Dogs can also form great bonds with other dogs in the home and, with early socialisation and training, with cats as well, especially those who are used to dogs, less likely to run and therefore less likely to be chased.
Livestock Herding Dogs dogs are generally well-tuned to their owners' moods so they tend to be best with a consistent, laid-back owner who signals their intentions clearly. For example, if there is a loud, unexpected noise, your dog will instantly look to you and assess your reaction – if you are calm, they will be reassured that there is nothing amiss; if you look anxious, or make a fuss of them in an attempt to comfort them, they are more likely to become anxious themselves.
Making your dog part of your everyday life is important – he will love pottering around the house and garden with you, 'helping' where he can. Give him little jobs, such as putting his toys away in a box at the end of a play session, or fetching you named items (slippers, his grooming brush, his lead, the post) as he is highly trainable and very willing to work for you. Being well socialised and well trained, he will also be a pleasure to take out and about with you to visit dog-friendly cafés, gardens, pubs or friends.
At the end of a busy day, your Livestock Herding Dog will like nothing better than to lie at your feet (or beside you on the sofa) snoozing and getting the occasional stroke. Physical contact is important to these dogs, so he may put his head on your feet or lap or simply lean against you if you stand still. Return the compliment by grooming and massaging him regularly. Not only will daily grooming ensure that any debris picked up from forays into the countryside is removed, and any skin and coat health issues picked up, it will also be a relaxing, bonding experience for you both.
It is important that your dog is taught self-reliance from an early age so that he doesn't become over-dependent on your constant physical presence, as this can lead to separation anxiety. Accustom him to short periods of being on his own from as early an age as possible, separating yourself from him in another room from time to time even when you are in the house. Provide a comfy den-like indoor kennel (sometimes called a crate) or a cosy bed in a dog-proofed room where he can snooze or chew a favoutrite toy on his own. Exercise him before you need to leave him alone in the house, so that he is toileted and ready to relax, and hide a treat-filled chew-toy for him to find and then work on to keep himself busy.
Some Livestock Herding Dogs – particularly the Collie breeds – can become pests in their attempts to solicit endless attention and many learn to nudge you for a pat and then not leave you alone. Training periods of 'non-contact' can teach your dog that no attention will be given when a certain visual marker is provided, such as a scarf hanging over a doorknob or a particular ornament sitting on a table. This really helps with managing the nature and intensity of the bond you enjoy with your dog, as he won't develop expectations for attention that are then frustrated; and, from your point of view, he won't become a nuisance with his demands for attention. He'll get just as much attention as you want to give him, but not be dependent on it for his happiness.
The dogs in this group that have strong, natural guarding instincts – such as the German and Belgian Shepherd Dogs – will patrol their boundaries in the garden and will be alert to any noise, indoors and outdoors. Thorough socialisation with people when young is important, and you should ensure that it is ongoing throughout his life so that he happily accepts visitors.
Teaching him to 'Shush' on request after a knock at the door will stop him barking relentlessly at every noise. Livestock Herding Dogs dogs are also more likely to become possessive over toys, food, beds and other resources (including you!) if they feel threatened, which is another reason why early socialisation is a must. Training him to 'give' up his toys or indeed any objects on request is quite easy if you can offer an even better item, such as a treat, in return. See our Guarding Dogs [link] article for more information.
Most Livestock Herding dogs aren't as food-obsessed as other types. Food rewards, particularly high-value treats, usually work well for learning new exercises when training, but if your herder isn't especially food-motivated, try verbal praise to reinforce his behaviour – your pride in him will make him very happy! Alternatively, some herders will work very hard to learn new tricks in return for a game with their favourite tug toy or ball. Experiment and see what works best for your dog, and try to use a variety of different rewards.
About a quarter of his daily dry food allowance can be used as training rewards (if he is food motivated). Another quarter can be used in mobile treat-dispensing toys for him to play with throughout the day, indoors and out, and another quarter can be scattered around the garden for him to hunt – feeding this way makes him work harder than just wandering over to the food bowl twice a day and eating all his food in minutes. The remaining amount of his daily ration should be fed in two meals every day (morning and evening) so that he will always see you as a 'parental' food provider. Get all family members to take on this role on a rota basis.
Train your dog to bring you his bowl at feeding times (assuming he hasn't trained you to feed him by bringing you his bowl first). You can often go a step further and train him to put his washed bowl away in the cupboard afterwards.
Seek professional advice from your vet or a qualified behaviourist if he becomes over-protective of his toys, food bowls etc, especially if you have a large breed with natural guarding instincts like a German or Belgian Shepherd Dog. With pups, this type of problem is easily prevented by training him to bring you items on request to be swapped for something more desirable. If he feels he is upgrading from a chew toy, for example, to one filled with treats, then he will be a willing participant and the learning can soon be generalised to other items that he may pick up, such as shoes, handbags etc. All members of the family should play these early games with the pup, even children under supervision. Some breeds in this group share certain behavioural similarities with Guarding Dogs.

To James Madison from William C. C. Claiborne, 19 October 1804 (Abstract)
§ From William C. C. Claiborne
19 October 1804, New Orleans. "On the 19th.1 instant, a Duel was to have been fought between a French Citizen, and a British Subject, who are temporarily residing in this City: by some means, however, this affair of Honor did not take place, but on the same day, the French-man was can[e]'d by the Englishman in the Streets, and, this Circumstance had very nearly produced on Yesterday, some serious effects. Several of the warm Frenchmen, espous'd the cause of their Friend, who had been can[e]'d the day before, and determining upon revenge, met his Assailant; an affray immediately ensued; the Englishman being assaulted, fir'd a pistol at the Aggressor, retreated with haste, and call'd aloud for succour. Several Americans went to his Assistance and reliev'd him from his angry pursuers. The Rioters were immediately brought before me and, (with the advice and consent of five of the Magistrates,) two of them were committed to prison for three days, and bound in a Recognisance to preserve the peace for twelve Months.
"This Affair, (which in any other City in the United States, wou'd be view'd as unimportant) has excited much Agitation here; many Frenchmen, (I mean those, who are not ancient Louisianians,) seem to make it a common cause, and having indulg'd themselves, in some illiberal Abuse of the Americans, many of them, (who otherwise probably wou'd have remain'd neutral) are enlisted on the side of the Englishman.
"In this state of things, we thought it best to keep the principals in Joal [sic] for a few days, untill the public Ferment, shou'd have subsided. Neither of the Judges having arriv'd, and it being esteem'd doubtful how far the Act of Congress has recognis'd the late Tribunals of Louisiana, the criminal Jurisprudence, is left in a very lax State. The general Opinion here, is, that the powers of the Court of pleas for this City, have ceas'd, and a few of the Members seem unwilling to act even as Conservators of the peace.
"… I find myself compell'd from Necessity, to take measures for the public Tranquillity. This City requires a strict police; the Inhabitants are of various Descriptions,… some of them extremely vicious. Great Exertions have been made, (and with too much success) to foment differences between the native Americans, and the native Louisianians.… The Intrigues of certain late Emigrants from France, and some of the Satellites of the Spanish Government, have tended considerably, to heighten the Discontents in this Quarter; every thing in my power, has been done, to counteract these Intrigues, but with little Success; the fact is, that the Affections of many of the Louisianians for their mother Country, are warm, and others seem attached to the Spanish Government. I have to complain also of some of the native Americans: they are rash, and very imprudent. The Newspaper publications, also add to my Embarrassments; they give Inquietude to the Louisianians, and Trouble to me.… I hope that good Order will be preserv'd, and Harmony soon restor'd."
Adds in a postscript: "On Yesterday about thirty Frenchmen din'd with their Countryman in prison.
"The enclos'd lines were compos'd and sung, on the Occasion.2 I do not know, that any native Louisianian was of the Party: but I have understood, there were several, who, under the Treaty, claim to be Citizens of the United States."

Thousands flee violence in Burma
China has urged Burma to tighten security along its border and stem the flow of refugees fleeing fighting in northern Burma.
Tens of thousands have streamed into China's Yunnan province in the past few days to escape battles between Burmese government forces and an armed group.
The United Nations' refugee agency said as many as 30,000 people may have taken shelter in Nansan county since August 8.
A UNHCR spokesman, Andrej Mahecic, said: "We have been informed that local authorities in Yunnan province have already provided emergency shelter, food and medical care to the refugees."
The UNHCR is liaising with local authorities to assist the refugees.
The fighting erupted about two weeks ago, ending a 20-year ceasefire between the ruling junta and private armies loyal…

BT has reported a 'ground breaking year' as its Q4 results unveiled a 14% increase in annual profits, with more than 50,000 customers signed up on their consumer mobile network.
BT confirmed its £12.5bn acquisition of EE has been approved by their shareholders, and the telecoms group are now awaiting approval from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). BT has reported it expects the CMA's results by 30 September if it is a Phase 1 investigation, or by 31 March 2016 if it is Phase 2.
Commenting on the results, Gavin Patterson, chief executive of BT, said: 'It's been a ground-breaking year for BT, in which we've made some key decisions and announced some major investments to underpin the future growth of the business.
'Profit before tax and free cash flow have both grown strongly and we have delivered or beaten the outlook we set at the start of the year.'

My Biggest Ministry Priority: Prayer.
The more I do ministry from the administration to the lessons, preaching, hands on ... one of the biggest ministry priorities is prayer.
I need to spend more time on my knees - talking with God.
I need to spend more time praying for others, praying for direction, praying to do what is right.
I need to listen to God's voice.
I need to hear what He is saying in His Word.
And ultimately I need God.
So one of the priorities for ministry isn't all the social media time as much as it is the God-time.
How about you?

User talk:Bolegash
February 2010[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although we invite everyone to contribute constructively here, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did with this edit to User talk:Hamtechperson. You may wish to read the introduction to editing for more information about Wikipedia. Thank you. Zhang He (talk) 19:13, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page User talk:Zhang He. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. Hamtechperson 19:16, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to User talk:Hamtechperson. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Hamtechperson 19:18, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
This is your final warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to User talk:Hamtechperson. Hamtechperson 19:38, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Friendly warning[edit]
I'm not sure of the context, but you seem to be making a lot of accusations against other users, accusations which are not kind or true, in your defense of a blocked user who has behaved badly. If you want to defend that user, you'll do so more effectively if you speak politely, without exaggeration or rudeness. It might be a good idea for you to pause, take a few deep, calm breaths, and ask yourself: "What is my goal? Are my current actions likely to lead to my goal?" It might be an even better idea for you to pause, take a few deep, calm breaths, and disengage with this argument, either by spending some time making the encyclopedia better or by stepping away from the computer until you feel less angry. I would hate for you to be blocked, even temporarily, for words that you might come to regret tomorrow. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:37, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
Oooh,im shaking in my boots! you are trying to act so self righteouos,and at the same time threatening me with your power.Bolegash (talk) 23:38, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
{{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:41, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
I'm sorry that you feel this way, and I hope you'll be able to interact with other users more politely tomorrow. For now, though, I think it's necessary to prevent you from continuing to make uncivil edits. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:41, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
"Polite"?! Hah! I've been politee,and continue to be,I point out a problem with an admin,and you people become irrational.Bolegash (talk) 23:43, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
- I hope it's not true that you think you've been polite, because if you honestly don't know how to be polite, then it's inevitable that you'll have this problem again, and that the next block will be longer. I hope, though, that you're just exaggerating because you feel strongly, and that really you do know how to be polite, and will be polite tomorrow. To help, I won't make you angrier by engaging in any argument here on your talk page; this is the last edit you'll see here from me, and I hope that none of the users you've disagreed with will continue the disagreement here. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:47, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
I was polite to you. See,you're still trying to use power to try to frighten me! Bolegash (talk) 23:50, 28 February 2010 (UTC) So predictable. Bolegash (talk) 23:50, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
- Calling someone self righteous for giving advice on how not to be blocked is not polite. Here's a thought: take a break and come back and re-read other's posts with your name on them, and read your posts with someone else's name on them. Do things seem different? Or try describing what has gone on here to someone else, but switch positions: state that you were the one who was greeted with a message of "Are you wrong in the head" by some other editor, who claimed to be polite while calling the blocking admin self-righteous. Who does that person sympathize with? Ian.thomson (talk) 23:54, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
I could listen to the record and think this is the iconic definition of synthpop and it doesn't mean a thing in the context of editing a Wikipedia article. Her Website and Itunes are considered personal and promotional websites. What they state may be 100% correct but Wikipedia policy does not consider these type of sites "reliable" and they are not allowed to be used. [1] This link goes to a basic outline of the concepts of verifiability and reliable sources with further links to more detailed explanations. RTL seems like a reliable source. I would use that.

In the face of all these disgusting capitalist festivities, we at the People's Cafe are trying to remain positive. More than that, we are going to try and actively reduce the negative impacts of xmas. We have decided to have our own alternative celebration of community, creativity and 2 weeks of successful occupation!
The event is open for anyone to come along and help out in whatever way they feel best suits them. To give you an idea of what already will be on offer:
Face painting, Free shops, Tea, Coffee and homemade cakes (donations very welcome!), workshops, crafts, stalls, information and real community spirit.
Come along, share gifts and skills, eat cake, drink teas and find the sense of community no amount of bright lights and plastic shite can fake.
There will be a meeting to finalize preparations for the fayre on Tues 13th @12.30pm in the People's Cafe. Spread the word!

Have you ever pretended to be something you're not? If so, you'll relate to today's Catchword episode. Join Andrew and Maura as they introduce and explain three expressions that are used to describe people and things that are inauthentic or fake.
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Expressions included in the learning materials
- Same old, same old
- To be on it
- Laid-back
- Fishy
- To front
- Well put
- A poseur
- To call someone out
- At the heart of something
- A total 180
- Bubblegum pop
- A sham
Sample transcript
|How about we move on to our third and final expression for today's episode.
|All right. What is it?
|Drum roll, please. It's a sham.
|Right, a sham is a person who pretends to be something that they're not. So just like to front, or if you call someone a poseur, it's really the same explanation. You're talking about a person that is not being authentic, that is pretending to be something that is not really them.
|So a sham is just any person who pretends to be something they're not. And when I hear this expression, a sham, I immediately think of a business context, maybe a salesman or a businessperson who is pretending that they are maybe more successful than they actually are, that's what I think of when I hear a sham.
|Yeah, it's true that often with these expressions, a person is pretending to be something bigger or more impressive than they actually are. I mean, why would you want to pretend you're less?
|Yeah, no, that's an interesting point. And I don't think there are any expressions—I can't think of any off the top of my head, at least—that describe the opposite, when you're downsizing yourself, but there are lots, like we're showing you here today, that describe when you're pretending to be something you're not, when you're trying to make yourself look better.

A sheriff is an elected law enforcement official for a county. Sheriffs usually have policing jurisdiction over unincorporated areas of the county, though in some states, sheriffs have jurisdiction throughout the state.
In many locations, the sheriff also runs the county jail.
The sheriff keeps records on criminal arrests, incidents reported to the sheriff, traffic collision reports, and other records. Many of these records are available to the public.

A template for reviewing papers
August 11, 2017 / Leave a comment
The current culture of science thrives on peer review – that is, the willingness of your colleagues to read through your work, critique it, and thereby improve it. Science magazine recently collected a slew of tips on how to review papers, which give people getting started in the process of peer reviewing some lovely overarching strategies about how to prepare a review.
But how can you keep in your head all those pieces of good advice and apply them to the specifics of a paper in front of you? I'd argue that like many human endeavors, it's impossible. There are too many complexities in each paper to collate loads of disparate recommendations and keep them straight in your head. To that end, I've created a template for reviewing papers our lab either puts out or critiques. Not incidentally, I highly recommend using your lab group as a first round of review before sending papers out for review, as even the greenest RA can parse the paper for problems in logic and comprehensibility (inculding teh dreded "tpyoese").
To help my lab out in doing this, I've prepared the following template. It organizes questions I typically have about various pieces of manuscripts, and I've found that undergrads given nice reviews with its help. In particular, I find it helps them focus on things beyond the analytic details to which they may have not been exposed so that they don't feel so overwhelmed. It may also be helpful for more experienced reviewers to judge what they could contribute as a reviewer in an unfamiliar topic or analytical approach. I encourage my lab members to copy and paste it verbatim when they draft their feedback, so please do the same if it's useful to you!
Summarize in a sentence or two the strengths of the manuscript. Summarize in a sentence or two the chief weaknesses of the manuscript that must be addressed.
How coherent, crisp, and focused is the literature summary? Are all the studies discussed relevant to the topic at hand?
Are there important pieces of literature that are omitted? If so, note what they are, and provide full citations at the end of the review.
Does the literature summary flow directly into the questions posed by this study? Are their hypotheses clearly laid out?
Are the participants' ages, sexes, and ethnic/racial distribution reasonably characterized? Is it clear from what population the sample is drawn? Are any criteria used to exclude participants from overall analyses clearly specified?
Are the measures described in brief but with enough data so that the naive reader knows what to expect? Are there internal consistency or other reliability statistics presented for inventories and other measures that can have these presented?
For any experimental task, is it described in sufficient detail to allow a naive reader to replicate the task and understand how it works? Are all critical experimental measures and dependent variables clearly explained?
Was the procedure sufficiently detailed to allow you to know what the experience was like from the perspective of the participant? Could you rerun the study with this description and that provided above of the measures and tasks?
Is each step that the authors took to get from raw data to the data that were analyzed laid out plainly? Are particular equipment settings, scoring algorithms, or the like described in sufficient detail that you could take the authors' data and get out exactly what they analyzed?
Do the authors specify the analyses they used to test all of their hypotheses? Are those analytic tools proper to use given their research design and data at hand? Are any post hoc analyses properly described as such? Is the criterion used for statistical significance given? What measure of effect size do the authors report? Does there appear to be adequate power to test the effects of interest? Do the authors report what software they used to analyze their data?
How easily can you read the Results section? How does it flow from analysis to analysis, and from section to section? Do the authors use appropriate references to tables and/or figures to clarify the patterns they discuss?
How correct are the statistics? Are they correctly annotated in tables and/or figures? Do the degrees of freedom match up to what they should based on what's reported in the Method section?
Do the authors provide reasonable numbers to substantiate the verbal descriptions they use in the text?
If differences among groups or correlations are given, are there actual statistical tests performed that assess these differences, or do the authors simply rely on results falling on either side of a line of statistical significance?
If models are being compared, are the fit indexes both varied in their domains they assess (e.g., error of approximation, percentage of variance explained relative to a null model, containing more information given the number of parameters) and interpreted appropriately?
Are all the findings reported on in the Results mentioned in the Discussion?
Does the discussion contextualize the findings of this study back into the broader literature in a way that flows, is sensible, and appropriately characterizes the findings and the state of the literature? If any relevant citations are missing, again give the full citation at the end of the review
How reasonable is the authors' scope in the Discussion? Do they exceed the boundaries of their data substantially at any point?
What limitations of the study do the authors acknowledge? Are there major ones they omitted?
Are compelling future directions given for future research? Are you left with a sense of the broader impact of these findings beyond the narrow scope of this study?

Preregistration as a guide to reproducibility and scientific competence
September 2, 2016 / Leave a comment
This is a long post written for both professionals and curious lay people; the links below allow you to jump among the post's sections. The links in all CAPS represent the portions of this post I view as its unique intellectual contributions.

Preregistration: prelude, problems addressed, and concerns
Psychology is beset with ways to find things that are untrue. Many famous and influential findings in the field are not standing up to closer scrutiny with tightly controlled designs and methods for analyzing data. For instance, a registered replication report in which my lab was involved found that holding a pen between your lips in a smiling pose does not, in fact, make cartoons funnier. Indeed, less than half of 100 studies published in top-tier psychology journals replicated.
But it's not only psychology that has this problem. Only 6 out of 53 "landmark" cancer therapy studies replicated. An attempt to induce other labs to reproduce findings in cancer research has scaled back substantially in the face of technical and logistical difficulties. Nearly two thirds of relatively recent economics papers failed to replicate, though this improved to about half when the researchers had help from the original teams. In fact, some argue that most published research findings are false due to the myriad ways researchers can find statistically significant results from their data.
One proposal for solving these problems is preregistration. Preregistration refers to making available – in an accessible repository – a detailed plan about how researchers will conduct a study and analyze its results. Any report that is subsequently written on the study would ideally refer to this plan and hew closely to it in its initial methods and results descriptions. Preregistration can help mitigate a host of questionable research practices that take advantage of researcher degrees of freedom, or the hidden steps behind the scenes that researchers can take to influence their results. This garden of forking paths can transmute data from almost any study into something statistically significant that could be written up somewhere; preregistration prunes this garden into a single, well-defined shrub for any set of studies.
Yet prominent figures doubt the benefits of preregistration. Some even deny there's a replication crisis that would require these kinds of corrections. And to be sure, there are other steps to take to solve the reproducibility crisis. However, I argue that preregistration has three virtues, which I describe below. In addition to enhancing reproducibility of scientific findings, it provides a method for managing conflicts of interest in a transparent way above and beyond required institutional disclosures. Furthermore, I also believe preregistration permits a lab to demonstrate its increasing competence and a field's cumulative knowledge.
Enhancing reproducibility
Chief among the proposed benefits of preregistration is the ability of science to know what actually happened in a study. Preregistration is one part of a larger open science movement that aims to make science more transparent to everyone – fellow researchers and the public alike. Preregistration is probably more useful for people on the inside, though, as it helps people knowledgeable in the field assess how a study was done and what the boundaries were on the initial design and analysis. Nevertheless, letting the general public see how science is conducted would hopefully foster trust in the research enterprise, even if it may be challenging to understand the particulars without formal training.
Here are some of the problems preregistration promises to solve:
- Hypothesizing After the Results are Known (HARKing): You can't say you thought all along something you found in your data if it's not described in your preregistration.
- Altering sample sizes to stop data collection prematurely (if you find the effect you want) or prolong it (to increase the power, or the likelihood you have to detect effects): You said how many observations you were going to make, so you have a preregistered point to stop. Ideally, this stopping point would be determined from a power analysis using reasonable assumptions from the literature or basic study design about the expected effect sizes (e.g., differences between conditions or strengths of relationships between variables).
- Eliminating participants or data points that don't yield the effect you want: There are many reasons to drop participants after you've seen the data, but preregistering reasons for eliminating any participants or data from your analyses stops you from doing so to "jazz up" your results.
- Dropping variables that were analyzed: If you collect lots of measures, you've got lots of ways to avoid putting your hypotheses to rigorous tests; preregistration forces you to specify which variables are focal tests of your hypothesis beforehand. It also ensures you think about making appropriate corrections for making lots of tests. If you run 20 different analyses, each with a 5% chance (or .05 probability) of yielding a result you want (a typical setup in psychology), then you're likely to find 1 significant result by chance alone!
- Dropping conditions or groups that "didn't work": Though it may be convenient to collect some conditions "just to see what happens", preregistering your conditions and groups makes you consider them when you write them up.
- Invoking hidden moderators to explain group differences: Preregistering all the things you believe might change your results ensures you won't pull an analytic rabbit out of your hat.
Many of these solutions can be summed up in 21 words. Ultimately, rather than having lots of hidden "lab secrets" about how to get an effect to work or a multitude of unknown ingredients working their way into the fruit of the garden of forking paths, research will be cleanly defined and obvious, with bright and shiny fruit from its shrubbery.
Managing conflicts of interest
As I was renewing my CITI training (the stuff we researchers have to refresh every 4 years to ensure we keep up to date on performing research ethically and responsibly), I also realized that preregistration of analytic plans creates a conflict of interest management plan. Preregistered methods and data analytic plans ensure researchers to describe exactly what they're going to do in a study. Those plans can be reviewed by experts to detect ways in which their own interests might be put ahead of the integrity of the data or analyses in the study, including officials at an individual's university, at a funding agency, or in a journal's editorial processes. Conscientious researchers can also scrutinize their own plans to see how their own best interests might have crept ahead of the most scientifically justifiable procedures to follow in a study.
These considerations led the clinical trials field to adopt a set of guidelines to prevent conflicts of interest from altering the scientific record. Far more than institutional disclosure forms, these guidelines force scientists to show their work and stick to the script of their initial study design. Since adopting these guidelines, the number of clinical trials showing null outcomes has increased dramatically. This pattern suggests that conflicts of interest may have guided some of the positive findings for various therapies rather than scientific evidence analyzed according to best practices. The preregistered shrub may not bear as much fruit as the garden of forking paths, but the fruit preregistered science bears is less likely to be poisonous to the consumer of the research literature.
Demonstrating scientific competence and cumulative knowledge
One underappreciated benefit of preregistration is the way it allows researchers to demonstrate their increasing competence in an area of study. When we start out exploring something totally new, we have ideas about basic things to consider in designing, implementing, and analyzing our studies. However, we often don't think of all the probable ways that data might not comport with our assumptions, the procedural shifts that might be needed to make things work better, or the optimal analytic paths to follow.
When you run a first study, loads of these issues creep up. For example, I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to recruit depressed patients from our clinic for my grant work on depression (especially after changing institutions right as the grant started), so I had to switch recruitment strategies. Right as we were starting to recruit participants, there was also a conference talk in 2013 that totally changed the way I wanted to analyze our data, as the mood reactivity item was better for what we wanted to look at than an entire set of diagnostic subtypes. In dealing with those challenges, you learn a lot for the second time you run a similar study. Now I know how to specify my recruitment population, and I can point to that talk as a reason for doing things a different way than my grant described. Over time, I'll know more and more about this topic and the experimental methods in it, plugging additional things into my preregistrations to reflect my increased mastery of the domain.
Ideally, the transition from less detailed exploratory analyses to more detailed confirmatory work is a marker of a lab's competence with a specific set of techniques. One could even judge a lab's technical proficiency by the number of considerations advanced in their preregistrations. Surveying preregistered projects for various studies might let you know who the really skilled scientists in an area are. That information could be useful to graduate students wanting to know with whom they'd like to work – or potential collaborators seeking out expertise in a particular topic. Ideally, a set of techniques would be well-established enough within a lab to develop a standard operating procedure (SOP) for analyzing data, just as many labs have SOPs for collecting data.
In this way, the fruits of research become clearer and more readily picked. Rather than taking fruitless dead ends down the garden of forking paths with hidden practices and ad hoc revisions to study designs, the well-manicured shrubbery of preregistered research and SOPs gives everyone a way to evaluate the soundness of a lab's methods without ever having to visit. Indeed, some journals take preregistration so seriously now that they are willing to provisionally pre-accept papers with sound, rigorous, and preregistered methodology. Tenure committees can likewise peek behind the hood of the studies you've conducted, which could alleviate a bit of the publish-or-perish culture in academia. A university's standards could even reward an investigator's rigor of research beyond a publication history (which may be more like a lottery than a meritocracy).
A model for confirmatory and exploratory reporting and review
In my ideal world, results sections would be divided into confirmatory and exploratory sections. Literally. Whether written as RESULTS: CONFIRMATORY and RESULTS: EXPLORATORY, PREREGISTERED RESULTS and EXPLORATORY RESULTS, or some other set of headings, it should be glaringly obvious to the reader which is which. The confirmatory section contains all the stuff in the preregistered plan; the exploratory section contains all the stuff that came after. Right now, I would prefer that details about the exploratory analyses be kept in that exploratory results section to make it clear it came after the fact and to create a narrative of the process of discovery. However, similar Data Analysis: Confirmatory and Data Analysis: Exploratory or Preregistered Data Analysis and Exploratory Data Analysis sections might make it easier to separate the data analytics from the meat of the results.
It's also important to recognize that exploratory analyses shouldn't be pooh-poohed. Curious scientists who didn't find what they expected could systematically explore a number of questions in their data subsequent to its collection and preliminary analysis. However, it is critical that all deviations from the preregistration be reported in full detail and with sufficient justification to convince the skeptical reader that the extra analyses were reasonable to perform. Much of the problem with our existing literature is that we haven't reported these details and justifications; in my view, we just need to make them explicit to bolster confidence in exploratory findings.
Reviewers should ask about those justifications if they're not present, but exploratory analyses should be held to essentially the same standards as we hold current results sections. After all, without preregistration, we're all basically doing exploratory analyses! As time passes, confirmatory analyses will likely hold more weight with reviewers. However, for the next 5-10 years, we should all recall that we came from an exploratory framework, and to an exploratory framework we may return when justified. When considering an article, reviewers should also look carefully at the confirmatory plan (which should be provided as an appendix to a reviewed article if a link that would not compromise reviewer anonymity cannot be provided). If the researchers deviated from their preregistered plan, call them on it and make them run their preregistered analyses! In any case, preregistration's goals can fail if reviewers don't exercise due diligence in following up the correspondence between the preregistration and the final report.
The broad strokes of a paper I'm working on right now demonstrates the value of preregistration in correcting mistakes and the ways exploratory results might be described. I was showing a graduate student a dataset I'd collected years before, and there were three primary dependent variables I planned on analyzing. To my chagrin, when the student looked through the data, that student pointed out one of those three variables had never been computed! Had I preregistered my data analytic plan, I would have remembered to compute that variable before conducting all of my analyses. When that variable turned out to be the only one with interesting effects, we also thought of ways to drill down and better understand the conditions under which the effect we found held true. We found these breakdowns were justifiable in the literature but were not part of our original analytic plan. Preregistration would have given us a cleaner way to separate these exploratory analyses from the original confirmatory analyses.
In any future work with the experimental paradigm, we'll preregister both our original and follow-up analyses so there's no confusion. Such preregistration also acts as a signal of our growing competence with this paradigm. We'll be able to give sample sizes based on power analyses from the original work, prespecify criteria for excluding data and methods of dealing with missing values, and more precisely articulate how we will conduct our analyses.
My template
Many people talk about the difficulties of preregistering studies, so I advance a template I've been working on. In it, I pose a bunch of questions in a format structured like a journal article to guide researchers through questions I'd like to have answered as I start a study. It's a work in progress, and I hope to add to it as my own thoughts on what all could be preregistered grows. I also hope we can publish some data analytic SOPs along with our psychophysiological SOPs that we use in the lab (a shortened version of which we have available for participants to view). I hope it's useful in considering your own work and the way you'd preregister. If this seems too daunting, a simplified version of preregistration that hosts the registration for you can get you started!

transparent battery – Innovative
Breakthrough transparent battery captures and stores energy from the sun
What if future solar cells can capture and store solar energy at the same time? Researchers atKogakuin University in Japan strive to do just. Their translucent lithium-ion battery-solar panel recharges itself when exposed to sunlight, fusing battery storage with renewable energy generation. This elegant design could finally trump the problem of securing effective and affordable storage.
The battery and panel hybrid is a long time in the making for the researchers at Kogakuin. Four years ago, the team unveiled a similarly looking translucent battery, which was connected to a storage device. In order to make the leap, researchers made small modifications to the machine's material makeup. When the hybrid device is exposed to sunlight, the panel tints to allow for energy capture. After the battery is fully charged, the panel becomes clear again. Its translucence is due to the thinness of the battery, which is only 80 to 90 nanometers thick.
Related: Quantum dot solar windows could turn any window into a power source
The researchers envision the battery-solar panel as the material used to create smart windows, which generate and store electricity. The invention could also be incorporated into screens on electronic devices. As long as the sun shines, you would never have to worry about charging your phone again. Or you could bring a TV into a meadow and watch Broad City in the great outdoors. The possibilities are endless.
Kogakuin researchers are not alone in their quest to refine and democratize renewable energy.Tesla is investing heavily in battery storage technology, which could one day soon allow most homes to affordably live off the grid. Other developments include super-thin solar panels printed like paper, which could bring solar power to billions of people, and lithium battery advances that coulddramatically lower the price of energy. These innovations are part of a broad industrial revolution that is bringing the renewable future ever closer.
Via TreeHugger
An interesting read of what technologies are out there in the market places and what can be done into the future. If this technology can be used in corperation with solar PV then there will be interesting times in the future , Although probably more than 3-5 years away,
A great article . Please feel free to follow more useful blogs at Velocity Solar
