Liam Hemsworth: Caught Cozying Up to Non-Miley Blonde!
Liam Hemsworth is currently filming the second installment of The Hunger Games.
But was the actor hungry for some non-Miley Cyrus ass during a recent red carpet event?
Liam Hemsworth is currently filming the second installment of The Hunger Games.
But was the actor hungry for some non-Miley Cyrus ass during a recent red carpet event?
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth now have one new thing in common.
The couple has posted a photo to Instagram of its new, matching tattoos. Of hearts? Of their initials? Nope and nope: of a quote by Teddy Roosevelt!
She's no stranger to creating an uproar on Twitter, having already gone off on homophobia and even dissed Jesus Christ (according to some).
But Miley Cyrus' latest diatribe on that social network has apparently gotten her into major trouble... with fiance Liam Hemsworth.
Despite what others may think or say all over the Internet, Miley Cyrus loves her new hair.
She also loves fiancee Liam Hemsworth, a fact the singer expressed to People at last week's MTV Video Music Awards.
Liam Hemsworth is totally in love. With fiancee Miley Cyrus? Sure, probably. But she's not the focus of his attention in a new Men's Health interview.
As The Hunger Games star about a certain breakfast treat and his eyes light up, his stomach growls, he gushes:
Liam Hemsworth is set to marry Miley Cyrus. And maybe even have the singer's baby.
What, exactly has drawn the Australian actor to this young mega star?
Miley Cyrus has a new hair color and a new tattoo.
But sources say the 19-year old is pushing for one more new addition to her life: A BABY!
Miley Cyrus loves being a fiancee. But she isn't ready to be a bride just yet, despite a mysterious Tweet posted over the weekend.
"Super lazy Sunday!" the star wrote yesterday, adding: "Can't wait for next week! It'll be filled with happiness."

Dear Editor,
I'm normally a pretty outspoken person, but even I have been squashed into silence at LANS. We're all living in a town full of fear – again. We fear for our jobs, our families, and our way of life. We already know we won't survive the next inevitable LANS budget crisis unscathed.
I wonder who it is bothering to look seriously at the human toll this will bring? Or is humanity just a problem for the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to deal with?
Dear Editor,
There is a prognosis that humanity can survive on this planet only for another 25 generations. The sun will continue to shine after that.
I would like to remind the wisest in the lab and at the Santa Fe Institute and others that if one cares about a really long-term future, we must drastically change the order of things. We must stop making things useful only for killing and begin to make useful things that are to be distributed widely so as to make this planet secure for all.
In your March 30 editorial, this passage caught my attention: "We urge the public to come and become informed before the council adopts the budget on May 13."
This brings home a fundamental flaw in our current form of governance in our county. If the public's function is solely to become informed, then one might ask, why bother?
This past weekend, the Los Alamos High School Olions Thespian Club gave five performances of the musical, "Little Shop of Horrors," directed by Nina Saunders.
That our high school has many very talented teenagers was clearly demonstrated in this musical. We can be proud of these students who worked long hours over the last two months both on and off the stage.
Dear Editor,
The other day, my doctor told me that I should be taking antibiotics for an ear infection. I immediately recognized his "hidden agenda" and yelled at him, "You're just being medical! You're only saying that for medical reasons! That's your problem you know!" Well, now he thinks I need some other medication also.
We had the civic center and the amphitheater in Overlook Park and the moving of the dump there to the unhappily titled "Convenience Center."
Once again, unhappiness comes to the fore in the question of the location of the skate park.
Disgruntled folk who live nearby, the boards of the Library and Senior Center that will be proximate, and folks already grown cynical about the way the county leadership operates are unhappy once again.
With the excitement of the early Democratic presidential caucus behind New Mexican voters, many may not realize that the June 3 New Mexico primary election is fast approaching. There are still many things to be decided in both parties, including nominees for the Los Alamos County Council, and for the open House seat in the 3rd Congressional District.
DOE needs to remember its requirement to clean up the environment before it creates more waste.
The Rio Grande Chapter of the Sierra Club asks that all work and expenditure toward nuclear pit production at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) be halted until the DOE recommits itself and its funds to the nuclear cleanup of LANL on the schedule to which it had previously agreed.
It is our national policy, "peace through strength." We threaten the countries of the world with our nuclear bombs. 9/11 was a response to our bellicose threats. When the playing field is not level people wrap themselves in high explosives and airplanes.

MLB team photo days are an annual — and often hilarious — rite of spring. Most of the photos taken of MLB players are of the garden-variety class, nothing too crazy, nothing too off-kilter. But for every 100 normal photos, there usually is at least one flat-out hilarious photograph. And as far as the photo of Toronto Blue Jays center fielder Colby Rasmus, the curdled cream most certainly rose to the top. Seriously, take a look at that photo. Granted, not everyone is photogenic, but Colby Rasmus looks terrible. Pale, slightly sunken eyes, it is truly an awful photo. It's a but of a stretch I'll admit, but if some scabs and face lesions and Rasmus would look just like an "After" photo in one of those disturbing "Faces of Meth' ads. To make matters worse, Joe Sports Fan took the analysis of the awfulness of Rasmus' team photo to another level: They ran it through a"facial beauty analysis" program: Ouch. A lowly 1.02 out of 10. That's a shame. I guess it could be argued that, considering the nature of his photo, Colby Rasmus would fit right in as a strung-out roadie in Jayson Werth's ZZ Top tribute band. TweetThe post MLB photo day fun: Colby Rasmus resembles 'After' pic in a 'Faces of Meth' ad (photo) appeared first on Sportress of Blogitude.

text: Dolphins fans might have legitimate reason to think their team, led by general manager Jeff Ireland, will score big in free agency and the draft, and then parlay that into a winning season and a playoff berth. Wide receiver Brian Hartline and quarterback Matt Moore both expressed confidence in the Dolphins' organization Friday and said they're optimistic about the future. Moore said there are "big things to come."

hi guys, for one of my modules in college, i am doing a poll to investigate this issue and in doing so, it would be really nice of you guys to participate in my poll...thank you!
I'm gonna vote other.
For me it's the "magic in the Air"
there is something about being in Disneyland. Just being there. I can't describe it.
I could just sit anywhere in the park and be content that I am in Disneyland.
The rides don't hurt
[edit]... I'll say nostalgia though.... I honestly can't remember what I felt when I was there for the first time.... I know I had a blast .. but I was young.

I voted nostalgia but landscaping and archetecture come in a close second for me.
I think that the nostalgia comes from how detailed this all comes in. If it wasn't for the detail it would be tough to convince you that you have escaped reality.
And of course the service provided by all the wonderful CM's helps a lot too!
Interesting poll. But even if there were more choices I'd still choose nostalgia. Bringing my family is number one and the fact they are interested in my nostalgia keeps me coming back over and over again.
Like I said in the Walt Disney World forum, I like to break the fourth wall.
Other. Its' where my friends hang out! THAT is what keeps me going back.
That and I miss it after a few weeks.
Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things...
I can't possibly vote fairly in this thread. It's a three-way tie between the first three options. The high-quality rides form the backbone of the experience--the root of why the experience is fun--but the importance of the beautiful environment is HUGE, and if not for my bloated sense of nostalgia, I probably wouldn't come back all that much. Those three are really just the three major reasons I go.
I'm gonna vote for the rides...but not because I think the environments are unimportant, and not because I'm not drowning in wondrous nostalgia every time I go. I'm gonna vote for the rides because they are the one element of the three that Disneyland would be least likely to survive without.
i voted nostalgia as well, seeing as it holds so many good memories for me, but what draws me to the parks today is the life that surrounds and engulfs the parks. There's an entire sub-culture that's been created by disneyland, honestly very few places have such die hard fans that would assemble themselves every week and devote an entire forum for the sole purpose of discussing events, trivia, and experiences at the parks . For me it's watching people discover new sights and encounters to be had in the park, how they handle being in such large crowds, and of course how ap"s keep things fresh and interesting for themselves. So i guess i keep coming back for the people
where's the all of the above option?
So many people voting the nostalgia option? Well..I did too. Maybe the rides aren't that important when you are forced to choose what is most important to you. It will be interesting to see how the numbers change as more vote.
The one and only...The Original...
Mountain Man
Definately nostalgia!
Nostalgia. Disneyland is the great escape for me.

"all of the above" should be a choice. Like one thing in life it's not just one thing, but a combination of many.

For me, it's all about the memories that keep bringing me back. No matter when I go, I feel the same age.

Best Coast
Best Coast dropped their debut full-length, Crazy For You five years ago, when Bethany Cosentino was a 23-year-old stoner with a heap of dude problems and an affinity for cats. She was a lot like other people her age, but unlike many of her peers, Cosentino wore her heart on her sleeve and wasn't afraid… More »
The latest installment of California Sunday Magazine's Q&A series "The Thread" features a conversation between actress Molly Ringwald and Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino. Both bastions of alternative girl-culture from different decades, the two icons exchanged emails about what it means to be admired and criticized at a young age, the lack of privacy wrought by… More »
Shaky Knees Festival went down in Atlanta this weekend, and we sent two photographers to capture portraits and live shots of some of the performers on this extensive lineup. The Strokes, The Avett Brothers, Wilco, Pixies, Social Distortion, and Ryan Adams headlined, and a smattering of equally well-known acts played over the course of three… More »
Best Coast are so deep into the Best Coast Zone on new album California Nights that it can be hard to hear the subtle adjustments that make their sound shine that much brighter. Their sound is cleaner and more confident than it's ever been. And that was in evidence last night, when Bethany Cosentino and… More »
Best Coast's forthcoming album, California Nights, might be their most ambitious work to date, as James mentioned in an earlier post about the single "Feeling OK." Something about the production on this record sounds bigger than the band's first two full-length releases, giving Bethany Cosentino all the more room to assault listeners with her mellow… More »
Over the past month and a half, Best Coast have been teasing out new material from their upcoming California Nights, the group's third proper full-length and first since signing with Harvest. So far we've had tastes of the record via the title track, "Heaven Sent," and "Feeling OK" — songs that contrast blissed-out stoner majesty… More »
We've already heard the title track and "Heaven Sent" from Best Coast's upcoming full-length, California Nights, and the duo has just shared another new song called "Feeling OK." As you may have gathered from the last two tracks, it's pretty apparent that Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno are aiming for something a little more ambitiou… More »
Best Coast already released a lyric video for their second single "Heaven Sent" off of the duo's forthcoming album, California Nights, but today the band shared an official music video for the track.

Yesterday on Instagram Best Coast teased "Heaven Sent," another song from their forthcoming third album California Nights, and today we get to hear it in full via lyric video.

Best Coast just took the major-label plunge, signing to the Capitol subsidiary Harvest and announcing the release of California Nights, their third proper album. Today, the duo dropped the video for the album's title track, which is also the first thing we've heard from it. And holy shit, what a pretty song. The band seem… More »
We're nearing the end of February, which means every inbox in the music industry is overflowing with SXSW showcase announcements.

As it… More »
California pop-rock band Best Coast have signed to Capitol's Harvest Records to release California Nights.

The deal with Harvest also mark… More »
Best Coast's songs are perfect for both those who are in love and those who are lovesick, so it makes sense that Bethany Cosentino would want to put together a Valentine's Day playlist to acknowledge some of her influences.

When Weezer did an interview and performed music on KROQ's Kevin & Bean morning show today, they invited Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino along to perform an acoustic version of their Everything Will Be Alright In The End collaboration "Go Away."

Weezer have been posting teaser videos for their new album Everything Will Be Alright In The End to build up to its release.

This past weekend, Burger Records held a small festival called Burger A-Go-Go.

Last year Best Coast released Fade Away, which at seven tracks was something like the group's third album but was dubbed a "mini-album." In an interview around that time, Bethany Cosentino said she was hoping to have Best Coast's real third album out by the spring. It's springtime now, and the album isn't out yet,… More »

England Physical Disability squared the Twenty20 series in Dubai, beating the highest T20 score between them and Pakistan to gain their first format win.
Pakistan's 140 for nine, underpinned by 80 from opener and captain Hasnain Alam, was a formidable total but 18-year-old Alex Hammond's 28-ball 57 set up a famous victory in the second match of three at the ICC Global Cricket Academy.
Although three wickets each for Dan Hamm and skipper Jimmy Williams kept the Asian side in check late on, the gifted Asnan - who smashed nine fours and two sixes - had already done much damage.
Hammond, who hit eight fours and two maximums, then set up for a four-wicket win completed nervously in the last over and a decider tomorrow evening ahead of three one-day internationals between the teams next week.
Hasnain, who won the toss, dominated a brisk opening stand that stood at 46 by the end of the powerplay.
However, Hamm stopped the momentum with a double-wicket maiden, bowling Matloob Qureshi and trapping Danesh Ahmed in front two balls later.
Hamm and fellow spinner Fred Bridges stifled Hasnain's partners, but the captain looked a class above the rest and was scoring freely to ensure the run-rate remained a constant run a ball.
In the 12th over, Hamm struck again when he had Jahanzaib Tiwana smartly stumped by live-wire wicketkeeper Liam Thomas with the score at 84.
Hasnain raised his fifty from 33 deliveries and by the end of the 17th over Pakistan had taken the total to 118, setting themselves up for a late onslaught.
However, three wickets fell in the next over, bowled by Williams, as Rao Javed and Abdullah Afridi were run out either side of Hasnain holing out to long-on, Ollie Barton taking the catch.
Williams struck twice more in the closing overs for figures of 3-29, four runs more than Hamm's three scalps cost.
With such an imposing target, head coach Chris Ellison promoted the experienced Gordon Laidlaw to open alongside Hammond.
Hammond showed his intent from ball one, taking Rehan Mirza, who pitched too short, for three fours in an over before launching Fayaz Ahmed for four and six.
Hammond continued to wreak havoc as the powerplay yielded a whopping 68 and he reached his maiden T20 international half-century from just 22 balls.
Afridi halted the opening stand on 72 by bowling Laidlaw for 16 and Hammond soon fell when he mis-timed a pull at Ameer Ahmed and was caught.
Callum Flynn and Iain Nairn shared a patient 32-run partnership that ended when the out-of-touch Nairn was caught off a leading edge with the score on 115 after 15 overs.
England's nerves started to show as Barton, sent in as a pinch-hitter, was easily stumped to be Afridi's third victim and the big-hitting Jordan Williams, who took some pressure off with a maximum over the top of the pavilion, holed out to long-off.
With three needed from the last set of six, Tiwana, who had bowled a 17-ball over in the first match, sent down five leg-side wides to spark England celebrations.

Nova Bus announced the appointment of Jean-Pierre Baracat as president of Nova Bus, effective immediately. He will report to Stefan Tilk, sr. VP, Volvo Bus, and president, Americas.

A mile is equal to 1.609 kilometers, and is therefore longer than a kilometer. To convert miles to kilometers, simply multiply the number of miles by 1.609. To convert kilometers to miles, multiply the number of kilometers by 0.6214 or divide by 1.609.Know More
A mile is 5,280 feet. A kilometer is 3,280.84 feet. Since the United States is one of the few remaining trading nations that does not use the metric system, conversions are always necessary. The U.S. measuring system is based on the British Imperial system but has been modified and is usually now referred to as the U.S. Customary system.Learn more about Measurements
One kilometer is equal to 0.6214 mile, while 1 mile equals 1.6093 kilometers. One kilometer is also equal to 1093.61 yards, which converts to 3280.84 feet.Full Answer >
A 1-kilometer race is equal to racing 0.62137 miles, or 1093.6 yards. In modern athletics, there is no race that is the equivalent of 1 kilometer, although there is an occasional 1-mile event, which is the equivalent of 1.609344 kilometers.Full Answer >
One kilometer is equal to 100,000 centimeters. One meter equals 100 centimeters. There are 1,000 meters in one kilometer, and 100 centimeters (1 meter) multiplied by 1,000 equals 100,000 centimeters.Full Answer >
To convert kilometers to miles, multiply the given number of kilometers by 0.62 miles. Converting directly from 1 kilometer to 1 mile is impossible due to this ratio, but solving for how many miles are in a kilometer is fairly simple when applying basic conversion concepts.Full Answer >

A recent post by one of our favorite bloggers, Issa Mas, the mom behind Single Mama NYC.
Theo goes for his monthly weekend visitation at his father's today. It will be his third time. The last two months I didn't handle visitations so well. In February I spent the 48 hours preceding his visitation sleepless, in panic attack mode, and physically sick with worry. In March? Only marginally better. And by that I mean hardly at all. Today, though? Today I am going to put on my "big girl panties," and grow up. Are my palms still sweating like mad due to the anxiety of it all? Uhm, yeah. Sweating like crazy. I don't want to let go of Theo, ever, and least of all to someone whose parental judgment is so VASTLY different from my own. I. Don't. Wan't. To. Let. Go! And yet, I must. This will be good training for the future. There will be more and more instances in this Mama's life, in which I will have to let go of my Pun'kin, whether I like it or not. For his benefit. Not for mine, not yet. Leave it up to me and I'd be the psycho, overbearing mom who still takes her son to his doctor's appointments in his 30s. Yeah, that's right, I said 30s. (Stop looking at me like that.) For my son, though, for Theo to have a happy and healthy life, I must let him go--in increments, age appropriately, but let him go I must. And this one weekend a month away from me at a home I have no control over, well, talk about the ultimate training ground. It would seem that not only is my little guy growing up, but his Mama is, too. I'm not saying that I won't tear up as I watch my little guy walking away from me while holding his father's hand. I'm not saying I won't go back upstairs and face the stillness of my home with a deep sense of dread. I'm not saying that my palms won't sweat with anxiety the entire time he's gone like they did the last two months. I don't know that I'll feel any differently at all, but what I do know is that I am going to try to use this experience to strengthen myself, and not allow it to make me come undone anymore. This is our new reality, and like it or not I must accept it with much more grace than I have up until now. As you can see, like everything else in life, it's still a work in progress, but at least I feel up to the task. In the end, there isn't anything I won't do for my boy--even if it means letting him go.

- Derek Tyson, RecruitingNation
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Whether it was at linebacker, running back or even wide receiver, ESPN 300 athlete Bo Scarbrough (Tuscaloosa, Ala./Northridge) was all over the field making plays for his team at the IMG 7v7 National Championships on Saturday.
Scarbrough, a long-time Alabama commit and No. 19 in the ESPN 300, said he is planning to see at least three other schools, Georgia, Florida and Florida State, in July.
Though Scarbrough said he remains solid to Alabama, he admits he's looking hard at two other schools.
"I'm also looking at Florida and Georgia," Scarbrough said. "I will visit Georgia next month and I'll visit Florida on July 26 for Friday Night Lights.
Scarbrough said he has developed a strong relationship with Florida running backs coach Brian White.
"I think that coach White is a very good coach," he said. "Me and his relationship is very tight. I like the way that he does things and I like the way he coaches his players."
While in Florida, Scarbrough and his cousin C'yontai Lewis, a Florida commit, had a chance to visit Florida State.
"I think that Florida State is a nice place," Scarbrough said. "We didn't really get to see the campus much, but of course we are going to go back in July, too.
Scarbrough, who said FSU and Georgia are recruiting him the hardest, admits Lewis is trying to get him to switch to Florida, but Scarbrough said he's dishing it back to his cousin.
"He's on me kind of tough," Scarbrough said with a laugh. "If Alabama were to offer him, of course I'm going to recruit him to come roll with the Tide."

After arriving in the Pacific after her commissioning in 1943, her first mission was to support the landings at Kwajalein invasion in early 1944. On 17 Feb 1944 she was damaged by an aerial torpedo and returned to Pearl Harbor for repairs and remained there until September 1944. After returning to action, she launched planes to strike the Palau Islands, Okinawa, Taiwan, and the Philippine Islands. On 25 Nov 1944, during the Leyte Campaign, she was struck by a kamikaze and lost 69 officers and men in the most tragic chapter of her history. She went under repairs again and returned to action to launch attacks on the Japanese home islands in preparation for the land invasion that never took place. She also assisted in the Okinawa landing. When Japan surrendered, she was stateside for repairs the third time during the war (again from kamikaze). She was deactivated in Mar 1947.
Intrepid became part of the active fleet again in 1954 after a two-year modernization, and served in the US Navy until 1974. Today, she is a museum ship in New York City, United States.

My Grandad was a crew member on the USS Intrepid during WW2, He passed away several years ago but i just recently found a box of stuff with some Navy paraphernalia and such, Most of the items are personal interest only but i did find a very large bullet, its probably 5 1/2" long and 1" diameter at widest. Its obviously very old and i can see where someone hastily scratched some words and numbers. Some of them are as follow:
USS Intrepid
00:15 17-2-44
Does it mean anything?

To Comment #2:
I am going to hazard a guess and assume that when you say bullet you mean cartridge which is the bullet plus the casing plus the powder charge (maybe minus the powder charge in your case, HOPEFULLY minus the powder charge). As such, it could be a .50 caliber cartridge which measure roughly 5 7/16-inches in overall length and 13/16ths of an inch largest diameter at the base (and, by definition, a half-inch bullet diameter). The writing is clearly meant to commemorate the Intrepids torpedo attack of Feb 17, 1944 (17-2-1944) as the only significant casualty of the fleets raid on the Japanese base at Truk. Intepids War Diary lists the torpedo impact at 0011 hours so your 00:15 is a pretty close estimate. I cannot say why a .50 caliber cartridge was chosen as the keepsake or why the date was written in the non-US format, but this is my best guess as to its meaning. Display it proudly.

According to the book 'Aircraft Carriers' by Antony Preston (Bison Books Inc, 1982. pp.45) the USS Intrepid was torpedoed on the night of 17 February by six B5N 'Kates' (not G4Ms), one of which broke through the screen and put a torpedo into the stern of the Intrepid. The carrier, despite having her rudder jammed, was able to return to Majuro Lagoon at 20 knots. This is clearly a different account to that given above in the Operational timeline.

G.C.S.E. Psychology Learning Lecturer: Mrs Zoe Cross 1 Learning: Introduction You will learn about three topics under this heading; i.e. three different explanations of how we learn behaviour: Classical Conditioning Operant Conditioning Social Learning Theory Classical Conditioning Classical conditioning was the first type of learning to be discovered and studied within the behaviorist tradition (hence the name classical). The major theorist in the development of classical conditioning is Ivan Pavlov, a Russian scientist trained in biology and medicine (as was his contemporary, Sigmund Freud). Pavlov was studying the digestive system of dogs and became intrigued with his observation that dogs deprived of food began to salivate when one of his assistants walked into the room. He began to investigate this phenomena and established the laws of classical conditioning. (Stimulus-Response learning). Unconditioned stimulus (UCS) - stimulus that causes a natural response. Unconditioned response (UCR) - natural inbuilt reflex to a stimulus. Conditioned stimulus (CS) - a stimulus that causes a natural learned response due to association with a previous inbuilt response. Conditioned response (CR) - a natural learned reflex to a stimulus due to association with another inbuilt response. 2 Before conditioning In order to have classical or respondent conditioning, there must exist a stimulus that will automatically or reflexively elicit a specific response. This stimulus is called the Unconditioned Stimulus or UCS because there is no learning involved in connecting the stimulus and response. There must also be a stimulus that will not elicit this specific response, but will elicit an orienting response. This stimulus is called a Neutral Stimulus. 3 During conditioning During conditioning, the neutral stimulus will first be presented, followed by the unconditioned stimulus. Over time, the learner will develop an association between these two stimuli (i.e., will learn to make a connection between the two stimuli.) 4 After conditioning After conditioning, the previously neutral or orienting stimulus will elicit the response previously only elicited by the unconditioned stimulus. The stimulus is now called a conditioned stimulus because it will now elicit a different response as a result of conditioning or learning. The response is now called a conditioned response because it is elicited by a stimulus as a result of learning. The two responses, unconditioned and conditioned, look the same, but they are elicited by different stimuli and are therefore given different labels. 5 Applying Classical Conditioning to Everyday Life This type of influence is extremely common. If you have pets and you feed them with canned food, what happens when you hit the can opener? Sure, the animals come running even if you are opening a can of green beans. They have associated the sound of the opener with their food. Classical conditioning works with people, too. In USA in K-Mart – what do you think happens when the blue light turns on. Cost conscious shoppers will make a beeline to that table because they associate a good sale with the blue light. (And, the research proves that people are more likely to buy the sale item under the blue light even if the item isn't a good value.) And classical conditioning works with advertising. For example, many beer ads prominently feature attractive young women wearing bikinis. The young women (Unconditioned Stimulus) naturally elicit a favorable, mildly aroused feeling (Unconditioned Response) in most men. The beer is simply associated with this effect. The same thing applies with the jingles and music that accompany many advertisements. Group Activity Little Albert and the white rat (Watson, 1920)… (Idiot: Mr Watson) Albert In small groups, match the correct picture with the correct label (next page)… 6 UCS rat CR NS UCR noise fear CS 7 The loud noise is an unconditioned stimulus. Albert's fear is the unconditioned response. The white rat is a neutral stimulus. After conditioning The white rat becomes a conditioned stimulus. Albert's fear becomes a conditioned response. Four Principles of Classical Conditioning Extinction: When the CS no longer triggers the CR. E.g. The fear that Little Albert had for the white rat could have been unlearned. Spontaneous Recovery: Although behaviour can become extinct, it is not forgotten. Pavlov found that if after a delay, the animal was presented with the CS (bell) then it showed the CR (salivation) – which had apparently been extinguished? Generalisation: When the CR is also triggered by something other than the CS. E.g. Little Albert went from being scared of white rats, to anything white! Such as cotton wool and white rabbits! 8 Discrimination: Even though generalization has occurred, we can learn not to generalize. To do this, the UCS is presented only with the CS. In other words, the dog is given food ONLY when the original bell is sounded. Operant Conditioning Where as Classical Conditioning explains behaviour in terms of stimulus-response, Operant Conditioning uses the principles of reinforcement. Both are forms of associative learning. When you talk about Operant Conditioning, you have to refer to Thorndike (1898) and his 'Law of Effect' principle. Operant conditioning, sometimes called instrumental conditioning or instrumental learning, was first extensively studied by Edward L. Thorndike (1874-1949), who observed the behavior of cats trying to escape from home-made puzzle boxes. When first constrained in the boxes, the cats took a long time to escape. With experience, ineffective responses occurred less frequently and successful responses occurred more frequently, enabling the cats to escape in less time over successive trials. In his Law of Effect, Thorndike theorized that successful responses, those producing satisfying consequences, were "stamped in" by the experience and thus occurred more frequently. Unsuccessful responses, those producing annoying consequences, were stamped out and subsequently occurred less frequently. In short, some consequences strengthened behavior and some consequences weakened behavior. B.F. Skinner [Skinner Box] (1904-1990) built upon Thorndike's ideas to construct a more detailed theory of operant conditioning based on reinforcement, punishment, and extinction. Reinforcement is a consequence that causes a behavior to occur with greater frequency. Punishment is a consequence that causes a behavior to occur with less frequency. Extinction is the lack of any consequence following a response. When a response is inconsequential, producing neither favorable nor unfavorable consequences, it will occur with less frequency. Four contexts of operant conditioning: Here the terms "positive" and "negative" are not used in their popular sense, but rather: "positive" refers to addition, and "negative" refers to subtraction. What is added or subtracted may be either reinforcement or punishment. Hence positive punishment is sometimes a confusing term, as it denotes the addition of punishment (such as spanking or an electric shock), a context that may seem very negative in the lay sense. The four procedures are: 9 1. Positive reinforcement occurs when a behavior (response) is followed by a favorable stimulus (commonly seen as pleasant) that increases the frequency of that behavior. In the Skinner box experiment, a stimulus such as food or sugar solution can be delivered when the rat engages in a target behavior, such as pressing a lever. 2. Negative reinforcement occurs when a behavior (response) is followed by the removal of an aversive stimulus (commonly seen as unpleasant) thereby increasing that behavior's frequency. In the Skinner box experiment, negative reinforcement can be a loud noise continuously sounding inside the rat's cage until it engages in the target behavior, such as pressing a lever, upon which the loud noise is removed. 3. Positive punishment occurs when a behavior (response) is followed by an aversive stimulus, such as introducing a shock or loud noise, resulting in a decrease in that behavior. 4. Negative punishment occurs when a behavior (response) is followed by the removal of a favorable stimulus, such as taking away a child's toy following an undesired behavior, resulting in a decrease in that behavior. Try this at home…! Try the techniques of shaping on a friend. Ask your friend to randomly state a series of words. Choose a particular category but don't tell your friend what it is. Whenever your friend gives an example of this category (colours, numbers, proper names) say "great, wonderful." Otherwise don't say anything. Within a brief time, your friend should be giving mostly examples of your chosen category. 10 Summary of Operant Conditioning Outcome of Conditioning Increase Behavior Decrease Behavior Positive Response Cost Positive Reinforcement Stimulus (remove stimulus) (add stimulus) Negative Punishment Negative Reinforcement Stimulus (add stimulus) (remove stimulus) 11 A. Worksheet 1: Stimulus - Response Exercise Definitions: Stimulus = something that happens TO the person/animal Response = behavior performed by the person/animal Identify each of the following as a STIMULUS or RESPONSE. 1. _____ A flashing light 2. _____ Answering this practice exercise 3. _____ A stop sign 4. _____ An ant crawling on your arm 5. _____ Vomiting 6. _____ Coughing 7. _____ The sound of heavy breathing 8. _____ Seeing and smelling a piece of chocolate cake 9. _____ Bad tasting medicine 10. ____ Laughing 11. ____ Screaming 12. ____ A feather tickling your arm 12 B. Worksheet 2: Types of reinforcement and punishment exercise In learning theory, remember that positive means adding something and negative means subtracting something. Reinforcement will increase the likelihood of a response in the future; punishment will decrease the likelihood of a response in the future. Identify each of the following examples as either: positive reinforcement negative reinforcement positive punishment negative punishment 1. ___________________ Jimmy's father gives him £5 for washing the car. 2. ___________________ Maria was fighting with her sister. Her mother says she can't watch TV tonight. 3. ___________________ Jane is 4 years old. Her mother smacks her for running out into the street. 4. ___________________ Your teacher says you don't have to take the final exam if you have a "B" average at the end of the semester. 5. ___________________ You receive a £100 incentive bonus from your boss for completing a project early. 6. _________________ You are assigned 10 hours of trash pick up after being caught smoking in the campus library toilet. 7. _________________ Charolotte's parents don't allow her to use the family car for 2 weeks after she received a "D" in her high school chemistry class. 8. _________________ You always put on your seat belt so that the annoying buzzer will stop. 13 Comparison of Classical and Operant Conditioning Classical and operant conditioning share many of the same basic principles and procedures. For example, Kimble (1961) has pointed out that the basic principles of acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, and stimulus generalization are common to both types of learning. There are several differences, however, between classical and operant conditioning. Although a basic feature of operant conditioning is reinforcement, classical conditioning relies more on association between stimuli and responses. A second distinction is that much of operant conditioning is based on voluntary behavior, while classical conditioning often involves involuntary reflexive behavior. These distinctions are not as strong as they once were believed to be. For example, Neal Miller (1978) has demonstrated that involuntary responses, such as heart rate, can be modified through operant conditioning techniques. It now appears that classical conditioning does involve reinforcement. And many classical conditioning situations also involve operant behavior. For example, let's assume that Tina was conditioned to fear rats like Little Albert. She would first learn to associate the rat with the loud noise through classical conditioning. Then presentation of the rat would produce a fear reaction and Tina would learn to escape from the aversive stimulus through operant conditioning (negative reinforcement). This is sometimes called the two-factor theory of avoidance conditioning (Mowrer & Lamoreaux, 1942). Classical Conditioning Operant Conditioning Acquisition Acquisition Extinction Extinction Spontaneous recovery Spontaneous recovery Stimulus generalization Stimulus generalization Association between stimuli Reinforcement and responses Based on involuntary reflexive Based on voluntary behavior behavior 14 Using Classical and Operant Conditioning to Change Behaviour Now you understand (I hope!) the basic principles of Classical and Operant Conditioning, we are now going to look at how we can use this information to change, i.e. modify, behaviour. Classical Conditioning – based on the principle that behaviour is a response to a stimulus. Systematic Desensitisation Systematic desensitization is a technique used to treat phobias and other extreme or erroneous fears based on principles of behavior modification. In systematic desensitization, individuals overcome anxieties by learning to relax in the presence of stimuli that had once made them unbearably nervous and afraid. First, patients are taught how to relax their muscles completely. Then, very gradually, anxiety-producing stimuli are introduced. As the patients learn to relax in the presence of these stimuli, stronger anxiety-arousing stimuli are added, until the patients are no longer made anxious by the original objects that caused them to seek help. more successful in treating specific phobias not so good in treating general phobias (e.g. agoraphobia) suitable for children (more ethical) but not too young, as you can't teach very young children relaxation techniques Implosion/Flooding Based on the idea that humans can not maintain the fear response for a prolonged period. Unlike the last method, the person with the phobia is confronted with her most fearful situation (i.e. not gradual exposure). The phobic is show the spider and is in intense mental and physical distress. Eventually the response becomes exhausted because the body can not maintain that level of physiological arousal. Thus the fear response has become extinguished. Not suitable for children Quicker and cheaper than systematic desensitisation 15 Aversion Therapy This works on the principle that one can stop behaviour by conditioning it to something unpleasant. E.g. alcoholic is given a drug which causes them to feel nausea and so every time they think of alcohol they think of the nausea. It words on the principles of association. Seems to be effective for some and not for others If the pairing doesn't continue, sometimes the association becomes extinguished Ethical issues Operant Conditioning – based on the idea that one can change behaviour using reinforcement. Behaviour Shaping Has been used to elicit better communication skills in children with autism: 1. therapist identifies an activity which the child enjoys, e.g. playing with a toy 2. everytime the child looks at the therapist, she gives him the toy to play with 3. eventually the child looks at the therapist in anticipation of the toy, but she withholds it until the child reaches for the toy 4. every time he reaches for the toy, he is given it as the therapist says 'please' 5. when reaching has become established, the toy is withheld until the child himself makes a sound as he reaches, then he is given the toy 6. this continues, reinforcing a behaviour and then withholding reinforcement until a more specific behaviour has become established. Eventually the child may speak. has been successful, but reinforcement need to be maintained 16 Token Economy The desired behaviour is rewarded with tokens. These tokens can then be exchanged for something which the individual may want. Used often in Psychiatric hospitals. Has proven successful in managing patients' behaviour But difficulty for patients to adapt to the real world 17 In class demonstration of operant conditioning Materials: small sweets/chocolates (M & M's are ideal), a clock, volunteer subject, student behavior recorders. Select a volunteer who likes the candy you have brought and ask him or her to leave the room for a few minutes. Explain to the rest of the class that you will positively reinforce the volunteer with candy each time he or she uses the word "I". Tell students you will interview the volunteer for 5 minutes as a baseline with no reinforcement and then 5 minutes using reinforcement. Assign several students the task of tallying each time the volunteer says "I" during the baseline period and again during the operant conditioning. Bring in the student volunteer and explain that you will interview him/her for a few minutes. You can ask simple questions related to the course, to your campus, current events, etc. After 5 minutes, give the student a piece of candy each time he or she uses the word "I". After the 10 minute interview, ask the subject if s/he figured out what was being reinforced. Now have the data recorders report on the number of times the subject said "I" in the baseline period and in the conditioning period. If the reinforcement did not increase the number of times the student said "I" ask the student volunteer and the class to offer possible explanations. If you prefer, this demonstration can be done in small groups in the class, with each group having a subject, interviewer, and data recorder. 18 Social Learning Theory OBSERVATION AND MODELING of behavior, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others is the basis of social learning. Originally developed by Albert Bandura in the late 1970's, Social Learning Theory suggests that most human behavior is learned observationally from others (Bandura, 1994). In this article we will examine examples, processes, and applications of social learning. Examples of Social Learning We are first introduced to the process of social learning as children and then as young adults. Children who mimic various behaviors of their parents are engaged in social learning. One of the key principles of social learning theory is that individuals will be more likely to adopt modeled behavior if it is activity they value and if the model holds admired status. When a mother is getting ready for a night out and finds her daughter trying on her shoes. The daughter is emulating her partly because of the admiration she holds for her mother. Processes Underlying Social Learning There are four processes that form the basis of Social Learning Theory. These processes are Attention, Retention, Motivation, and Motor Reproduction. 19 Attention This process surrounds the acquisition of the attention of the learner. Acquisition can be based on such factors as sensory capacity, arousal level, and past reinforcement. Retention This process involves the learner accessing symbolic coding of the behavior that has caught their attention. Motivation This process includes external, vicarious and/or self- reinforced motivation. Motor Reproduction This process includes the physical reproduction of the observed activity through physical capability, self-observation and feedback. 20 Application of Theory An easily envisioned example of social learning in the workplace is in an on-the-job training setting. Here a supervisor either explicitly or implicitly shows a new employee a physical task to be replicated for the employee's job performance. Often this physical performance may be quite foreign to the new employee. However, in most cases after a few run throughs and attempts on the employee's part they are able to complete the task by envisioning the symbolic codes they developed consciously or unconsciously of the earlier observed model performance. Conclusion In a workplace setting social learning can be a powerful force to train employees, yet employees can also use social learning to adopt behaviors that may be less than desirable from the employer's perspective. These behaviors could be learned from co- workers who are not necessarily going to be the next employee of the month. Employers and trainers need to analyze what is truly valued behavior in the company and why. Further, they need to understand that if proactive steps are not taken to engage in positive social learning, employees will be engaged in this learning on their own with someone who may be admired by the employee but less than admired by company management. 21 22
