Stanton making MSU go
Sunday thoughts:
Is Michigan State the real deal? It appears so - at least four weeks into the season.
The main man who is making the Spartans go is quarterback Drew Stanton, possibly MSU's best quarterback - dare we say? - ever.
Stanton can run. He can throw. He's tough. He's clutch. Which begs the question, why isn't he playing for the Lions? (Oh well, that's for another column).
The Spartans' offense is putting up huge numbers, including 44 against Notre Dame in South Bend and 61 against Illinois in Champaign. One talking head on television said Saturday that the Spartans may have the best offense in the country. Hope no one from USC heard that comment.
Next week, Michigan comes into East Lansing. This is not a typical Michigan team. They're struggling offensively. They're struggling defensively.
Michigan State should be the favorite to win that game.
These Spartans are fun to watch because of their offense. And, the man who makes it go is Stanton, the second best quarterback in the country to USC's Matt Leinart.
MSU 31, Michigan 20.
* Michigan's Chad Henne is not the same quarterback that he was last year as a freshman. I've got two words as to why - Braylon Edwards.
Edwards was the best wide receiver in the nation and he was Henne's security blanket. Edwards made a play any time Henne needed one.
This fall, Henne is without Edwards, who's with the Cleveland Browns, and he's not at the same performance level as a year ago.
He's going through what Daunte Culpepper is going through with the Minnesota Vikings. Take away a QB's No. 1 receiver (in Culpepper's case, Randy Moss) and it's grounds for depression.
Quarterbacks need someone they can trust when they have to throw the ball. Henne is missing Edwards.
And, therefore, Michigan struggles on offense.
* Do you get the feeling that the Detroit Lions' wide receivers feel that Joey Harrington cannot get them the ball?
Their body language last week on the sidelines was that of disgust and frustration. Harrington's lollipop throws are off the mark, often times setting up his receivers for a big-time hit.
Harrington reminds me of Bill Munson, a Detroit Lions' QB from 30-plus years ago. Slow footed. Average arm. Can't make plays. Can't win.
Just what the Lions need, right? Especially when their offensive line is average at best.
We can talk all we want about Detroit's big-time receivers, but if no one can get them the ball, they might as well block or stand on the sidelines and mug for the cameras.
Get well in a hurry Jeff Garcia, you're needed.
* Think the Tigers have quit on Alan Trammell? Maybe. Even Trammell is suggesting it in some recent quotes after yet another Detroit loss.
Trammell is a great guy and well-respected, but this team is getting worse, not better, and he's responsible for that. That's pro sports.
The Tigers need to clean house and get rid of a bunch of their low-performers and malcontents. But, don't be surprised if Trammell gets the axe. It might not seem fair, but that's business.
Win or go home.

Enjoy this crisp, crowd pleasing sparkling wine with any occasion or celebration. Made from Riesling grapes, it is an excellent aperitif that releases slight floral aromas, along with mineral and citrus. An effervescent tartness and a refreshing lemon / lime zest complement the well balanced play between cleansing acidity and mild sweetness.
Konzelmann is Niagara's only lakefront winery, located on the shores of Lake Ontario. The Winery began in the small German town of Uhlbach, near the turn of the 19th century. A restauranteur named Friederich Konzelmann left the culinary trade to pursue the craft of winemaking. Bolstered from previous success in producing house wines for his restaurants, Friederich officially released his first vintage to the public in 1893. He would eventually produce 200,000 litres of excellent wine per year from an array of Germany's celebrated aromatic varietals.
By 1980 Friedrich's great grandson Herbert was 43, had a well established business and a growing family.
The winery was expanding and the demand for his product was increasing more quickly than the land could sustain. Contracts with growers were becoming increasingly costly and the price of buying additional land was high. A recreational trip through the wilderness of British Columbia seeded a profound love of the land and rumours of fledgling wine operations in Ontario and the Okanagan perked Herbert's imagination. Subsequent visits produced evidence that Canada's wine potential had been drastically underestimated by most of the world.

Maharaja Gopal Singh of Manimajra constructed the present
main temple of Shri Mansa Devi, which is situated on the Shivalik
foothills in village Bilaspur, Tehsil and District Panchkula,
during the period 1811-1815. At a distance of 200 meters from
the main temple is the Patiala temple which was got constructed
by Sh. Karam Singh, the then Maharaja Patiala in the year
1840. This temple had the patronage of Manimajra State. After
the merger of princely states into Pepsu the Patronage of
State Govt. ended and the temples remained neglected. The
raja of Manimajra then appointed pujari as ' khidmatuzar'
of this temple whose duty was to worship the deity of the
temple. After the merger of princely State into Pepsu these
pujaris became independent on the matter of controlling and
managing the affairs of the temple and the land attached to
the temple. They could neither maintain this temple nor provide
necessary facilities to the visiting devotees and thus the
condition of the temple deteriorated day by day. So much so
that there were no proper arrangements for pilgrims visiting
the temple during Navaratra melas. The complex was in awfully
neglected condition till the establishment of the Board.
According to a popular legend, the shrine was originally in
the territory of erstwhile princely state of Nahan. Some hill
people cut off the stream, which supplied water to the pilgrims
visiting the temple, causing distress to the pilgrims. Thereupon,
the goddess appeared in dream of Gurbaksh Singh, ruler of
Mani Majra and asked him to construct a temple for her at
this place. This temple contains thirty-eight panels of wall
paintings besides floral designs painted all over the ceiling
and the arches leading into the temple. The drawings of the
temple are not of high standard but a great variety of themes
is illustrated. The other temple is said to have been constructed
by Maharaja Karam Singh of erstwhile Patiala State to commemorate
his success in the battle against the Gurkha.

In room 5, we had a science lesson for the year 5 & 6s while the year 7 & 8s were at technology. The current focus is water, so why not do a water based science experiment and learn how to write up the process. Together we wrote up the experiment below, to help model for students.
I asked the students if a paper towel would stay dry in water? No it won't, it will get wet was the overwhelming response, not one yes! Well, Mr Madge weaved his magic, and would you believe it, (Alex couldn't) I put a paper towel in a bowl of water pulled it out and it was dry. They were a few amazed faces. How did I do it?
I think the paper towel will get wet in water because that's what they are designed to soack up water.
A bowl
A glass cup
Paper towels
Fill the bowl with water.
Put the paper towels inside the glass cup.
Put the glass cup into the water.
Took the glass cup out of the water.
I took the paper towels out to see if they were wet or dry.
When Mr Madge took out the paper towels from the cup they were all DRY.
My prediction was wrong because paper towels were dry when Mr Madge pulled them out of the cup. I think they stayed dry because…
What next?
We could use different materials, different cups, warm water.

THE Saltaire's publicity photographs create an alluring impression. A line of real ale handpumps are ready to dispense Theakstons and Black Sheep; shiny beer fonts offer a host of lagers; downlights make a dramatic show of shelves of wines and colourful spirits against a rustic brick wall.
All these things exist, tucked into one attractively-lit corner of the departure lounge, but between them they create an illusion as utterly false as a film set. Just as turning the camera away from some romcom bedroom scene would reveal a workshop vista of scaffolding poles, cameramen, directors, lighting rigs, make-up girls and grips.
The big problem is that the bar has no front to speak of, instead it simply opens to the side of a corridor between the airside shops and the departure gates, meaning that wherever you sit, you are aware of this endless throughput of people – distracted business folk, happy couples, noisy stag parties and over-excited children.
Open-plan design can work, breaking down the claustrophobia of walls to create a luxurious feeling of space. Here it is that very space which is oppressive, allowing in a hubbub of noise and depriving customers of the intimacy of conversation. It's as charming as a shopping centre, as frantic as Accident and Emergency on a Saturday night.
Trade ebbs and flows with the departures. Each successive announcement from the tannoy draws a group of drinkers away.
The menu is interesting, but the dishes seem a little over-priced with their gourmet-style beefburgers from £11.50, the steak and shiraz pie (£13) and a good choice of sandwiches (from £9). The menu emphasises the quality on offer, but the tomato sauce bottle on every table suggests their customers appreciate a lowest-common-denominator approach.
Even the windows face the wrong way, showing drinkers the mundane bustle of the car park and the taxi rank rather than the enticing promise of the apron and the runway and the majestic miracle of air travel, giant engines hauling hundreds of tonnes into the air, spiriting travellers away to so many romantic destinations, most of them south of here, most of them warmer.
All that would be much nicer to look at, of course, but I guess there's not much the Saltaire can do to change its outlook. But somehow just separating this space from the general melee of the airport would offer drinkers a secluded, attractive, perhaps even exclusive little place to await their flight.
At risk of sounding briefly like Donald Trump, it would really help if they would just build a wall. Enclosing the pub would seal in a little atmosphere; creating some proper nooks and crannies would add to that genuine Yorkshire pub feel, providing somewhere that people could eat, drink, chat, read – without feeling as though they were simply in some soulless waiting room.
And yet amid all this, you can sense that the people who designed and built the Saltaire Bar did have some good intentions. By installing Masham's great family rivals Black Sheep and Theakstons on the bar they offer customers a last taste of Yorkshire before heading off on their jollies.
And there are some nice decorative touches. Elegant onion-shaped lanterns of curved wood hang over a space broken up by leather-backed booths. Chunky white shelving units show off colourful glassware, crockery and an earthenware brown trio of teapots, their handles and spouts all aligned like Wilson Keppel and Betty doing the sand dance. Breaking up the space and creating some separation between drinkers and passengers, could make all the difference.

A police officer in Michigan probably never expected an outpouring of gratitude after a traffic stop, but after saving a driver's life on Saturday he is being praised as a hero.
Kalamazoo public safety officer Jason Gates pulled a woman over after she ran a red light on Saturday, according to Fox 17. Gates intended to give the driver a warning when he came up to the vehicle he saw that the driver was having trouble breathing. At first he thought the woman was trying to get out of the ticket, but quickly realized she was in real distress. The dashboard camera on his cruiser was rolling as he first tried patting her back and then delivered a quick Heimlich maneuver. After three thrusts the woman cries out, turns around and hugs the officer.
Many outlets are calling Gates a hero, but the nine-year veteran of the force hasn't let the praise go to his head.
"I just feel like I did what I'm paid to do," Gates told MLive. "I'm glad for her that I happened to be there."

Guest Writer Timothy Till took a look at Shadowbane and offers up this Progress Report on the game. Primarily this report is offered from the perspective of a fan.
| Nephilim and Vampires are two of the newest races to hit Shadowbane since release. Nephilim, bat winged demon spawn of chaos, are feared mages and casters that can fling doom from above. Vampires, the generals of the armies of oblivion, are the resilient walkers of the night with devastating drain attacks and impressive vulnerabilities. These two races have dramatically changed the face of PvP.
Sentinels, Doomsayers, Necromancers, and Nightstalkers are the newest character classes to be implemented since release. Doomsayers are perhaps the most powerful of these classes with their ability to drain life, mana, and cripple an enemy with debilitating debuffs. Sentinels come in a close second with their ability to make any PvP group utilizing holy damage to be dramatically more effective in combat.

Pacific Symphony and Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman announce electrifying 2014-15 Pops Season, brimming with top talent and marvelous music
March 31, 2014
Lineup includes Michael Andrew singing Sinatra; Sandi Patty; The Tenors;
The Chieftains; Paul Anka; Alfred Hitchcock's classic film "Vertigo"
(score performed live); plus, Herb Alpert and Lani Hall
Mega-watt stars light up the stage for Pacific Symphony's highly anticipated 2014-15 Pops series featuring seven not-to-be-missed concerts that include a bit of nostalgia, romance, celebration and a plethora of memorable music—all enhanced by the "Hollywood" sound of the orchestra. Led by Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman, the season blasts off with a tribute to the iconic Frank Sinatra, with such jazz standards as "Fly Me to the Moon." Add to that legendary stars Paul Anka, Herb Alpert and Lani Hall and, just in time for Christmas—five-time Grammy Award-winner Sandi Patty. Plus, The Chieftains bring their old-country charm for an authentic St. Patrick's Day celebration, and The Tenors fill the concert hall with romance over Valentine's Day weekend. The season also includes the Symphony musicians recreating the haunting score to "Vertigo," Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 thriller, as the classic is shown on the big screen.
All Pops concerts take place in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Seven-concert subscriptions for Pops range from $235-$1,050; single tickets are $35-$105 (on sale Aug. 17). For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.
"Our upcoming Pops season promises to be another exciting year for our audiences as world-class performers join one of the world's great orchestras in concert,"says Maestro Kaufman. "Once again, several of these artists will be making their Pacific Symphony Pops debut, which always makes the series extra special. And these great performers bring a wide variety of musical styles and genres that are sure to make each Pops weekend a special event."
Pacific Symphony Pops takes flight with "Fly Me to the Moon" on Thursday-Saturday, Nov. 6-8, at 8 p.m., when Michael Andrew and his classic voice reinvigorate the music of the eternally-hip Rat Pack crooners: Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin and Sammy Davis, Jr. Critics praise Andrew's interpretations, raving, "Andrew has Sinatra's style down pat, from his husky, off-hand delivery to heady shout choruses always anchored by tough-but-tender can't-touch-this cool."
"Everyone loves the sound of Sinatra, and what better way to begin our season than with music from the 'Great American Songbook' made famous by Sinatra himself!?" says Kaufman.
Andrew was the headline singer and bandleader at the world-famous Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center in New York where he entertained audiences nightly and hosted a live radio broadcast, "Live from the Rainbow Room." He was the singer and bandleader at Merv Griffin's "Coconut Club" in The Beverly Hilton, where Griffin called Andrew "one of the great singers of all time."
A spirited holiday concert awaits as American-music icon and multiple-award winner Sandi Patty makes her Symphony Pops debut in "Christmas with Sandi Patty." Patty's angelic voice captivates audiences for an evening of inspirational and joyful music perfect for the family. Led by Kaufman, this Christmas celebration takes place Thursday-Saturday, Dec. 18-20, at 8 p.m.
"With the wonderful spirit and amazing voice of Sandi Patty, our Christmas Pops celebration will, without a doubt, bring the true meaning as well as the fun and excitement of the most wonderful time of the year," says Kaufman. "Andy Williams, who graced our Christmas Pops a couple of years ago, once told me that Sandi Patty had 'the best female voice' he had ever heard. High praise indeed from one of history's most respected and beloved singers."
As one of the most highly acclaimed performers of our time with four Billboard Music Awards, three platinum records, five gold records and 11 million records sold, Patty is simply known as "The Voice." She is the most-awarded female vocalist in contemporary Christian music history, receiving 40 Dove Awards. She was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2004 and recognized as an Indiana Living Legend in 2007. She has released over 30 albums, including her latest, "Everlasting," which features notable hymns and songs of worship in an intimate and acoustic setting.
Love is in the air when the Symphony couples with The Tenors for an exhilarating Valentine's Day weekend on Thursday-Saturday, Feb. 12-14, 2015, at 8 p.m. Maestro Kaufman leads this romantic evening of memorable, reverberating sounds. "Valentine's Day with The Tenors" features four handsome male singers known for their refreshing musicianship and magnificent voices. The Tenors set the mood with songs from their 2012 Platinum album "Lead With Your Heart" and other favorites. A greatly admired group, The Tenors were featured performers on the 2011 Emmy Awards broadcast. The four young men have performed on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" (with Celine Dion), for Her Majesty the Queen during her Diamond Jubilee at Windsor Castle and at the opening ceremonies of Vancouver's 2010 Olympics. They have been hailed as musical ambassadors and Canada's national treasure.
Audiences are in for some four-leaf clover luck when the iconic Irish band, "The Chieftains," extend the celebration of St. Patrick's Day from Thursday-Saturday, March 19-21, 2015, at 8 p.m. This concert features mesmerizing traditional Irish music, energized with spontaneity and infused with a rich cultural history.
"To me, the music of Ireland is some of the most soulful and spirit-filled music anywhere," says Kaufman. "And when it comes to presenting this exciting music, no group compares with the legendary Chieftains. They combine the beauty of the music with their sparkling personalities, and the audience can't help but feel that they're in the next best thing to an Irish pub!"
Six-time Grammy award winners, The Chieftains are recognized for bringing traditional Irish music to the world's attention. They were officially named Ireland's musical ambassadors, performing during the Pope's visit to Ireland in 1979 in front of an audience of millions, and were the subject of a "Late Late Show" tribute in 1987, their 25th anniversary. In 2010, two of the band members' instruments (Paddy's whistle and Matt's flute) travelled to the International Space Station with a NASA astronaut, Catherine Coleman.
The Pops series continues with a dynamic, high-energy performance by the legendary singer and songwriter Paul Anka, who joins the Symphony on Thursday-Saturday, April 9-11, 2015, at 8 p.m. Led by Kaufman and accompanied by the orchestra, Anka—who has recorded nearly 40 albums featuring his soulful voice, scoring chart toppers in pop, R&B and adult contemporary music—sings a number of his signature hits such as, "Put Your Head on My Shoulder," "Puppy Love" "I Love You Baby" and "Time of Your Life."
"Paul Anka has been entertaining audiences and writing classic songs for decades. It's always great to welcome back to our series an artist whose voice, personality and song-writing has so successfully stood the test of time," comments Kaufman.
Anka first achieved success in the 1950s as a teenage singing sensation with the hit, "Diana," and has since appeared in several films. Anka is known as one of the great songwriters in pop-music history with a breathtaking 125 records, 900 songs and 60 million albums sold.
To showcase Maestro Kaufman's unique talent and passion for conducting movie scores, the Symphony performs the music to Alfred Hitchcock's classic film, "Vertigo," for a symphonic night at the movies! A newly restored print fills the big screen while the musicians of Pacific Symphony recreate the score live in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall on Thursday-Saturday, April 30-May 2, 2015, at 8 p.m. The 1958 thriller is widely recognized as one of the greatest films of all time and its score is known for its haunting thematic sounds.
"Our audience is in for an amazing event this coming season when we perform Bernard Herrmann's extraordinary score live to the film 'Vertigo,'" says Kaufman. "The original dialogue and sound effects remain, but the orchestra track has been removed so that the audience can hear the music live. It's a unique and once-in-a-lifetime experience…just like being on a Hollywood scoring stage when the music was recorded for the film itself."
An explosion of talent rounds up the Pops season when "Herb Alpert and Lani Hall" join the Symphony on Thursday-Saturday, June 4-6, 2015, at 8 p.m. Performing songs from their newly released album "Steppin' Out," including versions of such classics as "Puttin' on the Ritz," "I Only Have Eyes For You," "What'll I Do" and "La Vie En Rose," the dynamic duo concludes the Pops series with an electrifying bang!
Trumpeter Alpert and vocalist Hall infuse an eclectic blend of jazz, world and American pop standards with their unique sound. Performing together since 2006, each half of this husband-and-wife team brings an impressive musical background to the table: Alpert's accomplishments include five number-one hits, 28 albums on the Billboard charts and eight Grammys; while Hall is a Grammy-winning vocalist who was the original lead singer for Sergio Mendes' Brasil '66.
"In the music business, the word 'legendary' is applied to very few individuals. I think that when it comes to Herb Alpert, that word is more than appropriate," says Kaufman. "Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass were a musical mainstay throughout the world for many years, and now Herb Alpert has decided to combine his many talents with his wife, Lani Hall, and Pacific Symphony in their very first symphony performance. It will be an exciting way to close what promises to be another memorable Pops season.

1 Correlational research is used to describe the relationship between two or more naturally occurring variables. Is age related to political conservativism? Are highly extraverted people less afraid of rejection than less extraverted people? Is depression correlated with hypochondriasis? Is I.Q. related to reaction time? Do not imply a cause-and-effect relationship But can rule out whether two variables covary So can show that one variable does not cause another Do imply that variables share something in common Some factors are impossible to manipulate experimentally Personality Demographic categories Most variables that cannot be studied experimentally can be studied correlationally Variables are measured Relationship among variables is assessed It is unethical to manipulate some variables Severe illness Brain injury 1
2 In correlational research the terms predictor variable and criterion/outcome variable are used to describe the variables The terms IV and DV may be used but do not have the same meaning as when used in true experiments In correlational research, independent variable is not manipulated There is no presumption that dependent variable depends on the independent variable, only that a relationship exists Therefore, one cannot draw causal conclusions from correlational research Correlational analysis assumes that the relationship between the independent and dependent variables is linear Can be graphed as a straight line Always plot before analyzing If relationship between variables is nonlinear, correlation coefficient will be misleading Curvilinear relationships have a correlational coefficient of zero For correlational analyses with more than one IV, it is assumed that the relationship is additive People s scores on DV can be predicted by an equation that sums their weighted scores on the IVs It is also assumed that there are no interactions among the IVs Expresses degree of linear relatedness between two variables Varies between 1.00 and Strength of relationship is Indicated by absolute value of coefficient Stronger as shared variance increases Pearson correlation coefficient (r) is the most commonly used measure of correlation 2
3 The magnitude or numerical value of a correlation expresses the strength of the relationship between the two variables. When r =.00, the variables are not related. A correlation of.78 indicates that the variables are more strongly related than does a correlation of.30. Magnitude is unrelated to the sign of r; two variables with a correlation of.78 are just as strongly related as two variables with a correlation of If X Increases in value Decreases in value Increases in value Decreases in value And Y Increases in value Decreases in value Decreases in value Increases in value The correlation is Positive or direct Positive or direct Negative or inverse Negative or inverse Example The taller one gets (X), the more one weighs (Y). The fewer mistakes one makes (X), the fewer hours of remedial work (Y) one participates in. The better one behaves (X), the fewer in-class suspensions (Y) one has. The less time one spends studying (X), the more errors one makes on the test (Y). Spearman rank-order correlation used when variables are measured on an ordinal scale (the numbers reflect the rank ordering of participants on some attribute) Phi coefficient used when both variables are dichotomous Point-biserial correlation used when only one of the variables is dichotomous Pearson product moment correlation r xy Correlation between variables x and y Scattergram representation 1. Set up x and y axes 2. Represent one variable on x axis and one on y axis 3. Plot each pair of x and y coordinates 3
4 When points are closer to a straight line, the correlation becomes stronger As slope of line approaches 45, correlation becomes stronger Outliers: Extreme scores Usually defined as scores more than three standard deviations above/below mean Can artificially lower a correlation If outliers are present, the researcher can: mathematically transform the data omit outliers Which option to choose depends on the probable meaning of the outliers Is the square of the correlation coefficient Indicates the proportion of variance in one variable that is accounted for by another variable. The correlation between children s and parents neuroticism scores is.25. If we square this correlation (.0625), the coefficient of determination tells us that 6.25% of the variance in children s neuroticism scores can be accounted for by their parent s scores.

5 If r xy Is And r xy 2 Is Then the Change From Is to.2 3% to.3 5% Coefficient of alienation 1 coefficient of determination Proportion of variance in one variable unexplained by variance in the other to.4 7% to.5 9% to.6 11% to.7 13% to.8 15% to.9 17% The increase in the proportion of variance explained is not linear Eyeball method Correlations between.8 and and.8.4 and.6.2 and.4 0 and.2 Are said to be Very strong Strong Moderate Weak Very weak A correlation coefficient is statistically significant when the correlation calculated on a sample has a very low probability of being.00 in the population from which the sample came. 5
6 1. Sample size 2. Magnitude of the correlation 3. How careful you want to be not to draw an inaccurate conclusion about whether the correlation is.00 Directional Hypothesis predicts the direction of the correlation (i.e., positive or negative) Nondirectional Hypothesis predicts that two variables will be correlated but does not specify whether the correlation will be positive or negative Reliability of a Measure -- the less reliable a measure is, the lower its correlations with other measures will be. If the true correlation between neuroticism in children and in their parents is.45, but you use a scale that is unreliable, the obtained correlation will not be.45 but rather near.00. Shrinking of the observed correlation relative to the true score correlation Example: True score correlation = 0.40 Reliability of two measures = 0.75 Maximum possible observed correlation =
7 Restriction in range: Occurs when the scores of one or both variables in a sample have a range of values that is less than the range of scores in the population Reduces the observed correlation As a variable s range narrows, the variable comes closer to being a constant Correlation between a constant and a variable is zero As a variable s sampled range becomes smaller, its maximum possible correlation with another variable becomes smaller Gender Masc Fem Gender Masc Fem Male 7 1 Female 1 6 Male 6 4 Female 2 5 Male 5 3 Female 2 6 Male 6 2 Female 2 7 Male 5 2 Female 1 7 Male 4 2 Female 2 5 Male 6 1 Female 3 4 Male 7 1 Female 2 4 Male 5 2 Female 2 5 Male 5 3 Female 3 4 Ratings on 7-point scales where 1 = not at all and 7 = very With all participants included, ratings of masculinity and femininity are negatively correlated (r = 0.88) With only male participants, r = 0.42 Range is restricted on both measures when only male participants are assessed Whitley & Kite, Principles of Research in Behavioral Science, Third Edition, 2013 Taylor & Francis 7
8 Subgroup differences: The participant sample on which a correlation is based contains two or more subgroups The combined group correlation will not accurately reflect the subgroup correlations if the correlation differs within the subgroups or the mean scores differ within the subgroups Whitley & Kite, Principles of Research in Behavioral Science, Third Edition, 2013 Taylor & Francis To test for subgroup differences, one should examine: the means and standard deviations of subgroups the correlations within subgroups One can also plot the subgroups scores on variables in single scatterplot Males Females Mean SD r MF Mean SD r MF Masc Fem The means and standard deviations differ for male and female participants The correlation between masculinity and femininity is stronger for female participants 8
9 Constructs that are composed of two or more subordinate components Each component can be distinguished from the others and measured separately Components are distinguishable even though they are related to each other both logically and empirically It is important to determine whether a construct is multifaceted or multidimensional Components of multidimensional constructs are not related to one another Tells you whether or not to combine facets into overall index Facets should not be combined if: they are theoretically or empirically related to different DVs or different facets of a DV the theory of the construct predicts an interaction among the facets When facets are combined into general index, useful information is lost Cannot separately test the relationships of the facets to their appropriate DVs So, you should not combine facets unless you are certain that the combined score and the scores on all facets have same relation to DV Combining Facets Facets can be combined in some circumstances, such as when the researcher is interested in the latent variable represented by the facets a latent variable is unmeasured and represented by the combination of several operational definitions of a construct 9
10 Combining Facets One should test whether latent variable is more important in relation to DV than any of its facets If so, it should be a better predictor of the DV Also, in some cases, it is better to use statistics specifically designed to deal with latent variables Combining Facets Facets can also be combined when, compared to the facets, the latent variable is more important more interesting represents a more appropriate level of abstraction Decision is based on theory of interest Note that theorists may disagree about what constitutes an appropriate level of abstraction of a construct Use only the most reliable measures available Look for restricted range Check the ranges of the scores for your sample against published norms Plot the scores for the subgroups and the combined group before computing r Compute subgroup correlations and means When using multifaceted constructs, avoid combining facets unless there is a good reason to do so r is an index of the relationship between two variables indicates the accuracy with which scores on one variable can predict the other Prediction is assessed by bivariate regression An equation is developed to predict one variable (X) from the other (Y) 10
11 Equation takes the form of: Y = a + bx, where a is the intercept the value of Y when X is zero b is the slope the amount of change in Y for each unit change in X Do women and men differ in their selfreported masculinity and femininity? Can be tested with Fisher s z transformation Note that a lack of difference does not necessarily mean the relationship between the variables is the same The slope may differ for subgroups even if r does not However, predictions may be equally accurate for subgroups This situation occurs because r is a standardized index X and Y scores are transformed to have mean of 0 and SD of 1 Slopes are unstandardized Examines the extent to which the correlation between two variables (X and Y) can be accounted for by their mutual correlation with an extraneous variable (Z) That is, Z is correlated with both X and Y Tests what the correlation of X and Y would be if Z were not also correlated with them (e.g. all research participants had the same score on Z) Is interpreted the same way as the zero order correlation coefficient pr represents the strength of the relationship when the effect of Z is removed or held constant 11
12 Zero-Order Correlations Masculinity Self-Esteem Depression 0.26* 0.52* Self-esteem 0.67* Partial Correlations Correlation of Controlling for Masculinity and Depression Self-esteem 0.14 Masculinity and Self-esteem Depression 0.64* Depression and Self-esteem Masculinity 0.48* Partial Correlation Analysis Results show the correlation between masculinity and depression becomes nonsignificant when self-esteem is controlled self-esteem and depression is virtually unaffected when masculinity is controlled Suggests the relationship between masculinity and depression can be accounted for by masculinity s correlation with selfesteem The masculinity-depression relationship is spurious Source: Feather, 1985 *p<0.001 Feather s (1985) study of the correlation between masculinity and depression if self-esteem is controlled Grade Reading Math Grade Reading Extends simple and partial correlations to situations in which there are more than two IVs Used for two purposes 1. To derive an equation that predicts scores on some criterion variable from a set of predictor variables 2. To explain variation in a DV in terms of its degree of association with members of a set of IVs Math
13 Purpose is to derive the equation that most accurately predicts a criterion variable from a set of predictor variables Uses all predictors in a set Not designed to determine which predictor does the best job Instead, used to determine the best predictive equation using an entire set of predictors Similar to partial correlation analysis Allows as many variables to be partialed as the investigator needs Researcher creates a regression equation by entering variables to the equation Allows investigator to test hypotheses about relationships between predictor variables and a criterion variable with other variables controlled Multiple correlation coefficient (R): An index of the degree of association between the predictor variables as a set and the criterion variable Provides no information about the relationship of any one predictor variable to the criterion variable R 2 represents the proportion of variance in the criterion variable accounted for by its relationship with the total set of predictors Regression coefficient: The value by which the score on a predictor variable is multiplied to predict the score on the criterion variable Represents the amount of change in Y brought about by a change in X 13
14 Regression coefficients can be standardized (β) or unstandardized (B) If standardized: βs for all IVs in an analysis are on the same scale Have a mean of 0 and SD of 1 can be used to compare the degree to which different IVs in an analysis are predictive of the DV If unstandardized: Bs have same units regardless of the sample coefficients can be used to compare the predictive utility of an IV across samples t-tests can be used to determine whether these comparisons are statistically significant Change in R 2 used in hierarchical MRA represents the increase in the proportion of variance in the DV that is accounted for by adding another IV to the regression equation addresses whether adding that IV helps predict Y better than the equation without that IV Change in R 2 can fluctuate as a function of the order in which the variable is entered into the equation entering a variable earlier will generally result in larger change in R 2 than entering it later Especially likely if variable has high correlation with other predictor variables 14
15 Multicollinearity is a condition that arises when two or more predictor variables are highly correlated with each other can adversely effect results of MRA researchers must check to see if it is affecting their data Can inflate the standard errors of regression coefficients Can lead to nonsignificant statistical outcomes Research may erroneously conclude the criterion and predictor variables are unrelated Can lead to misleading conclusions about changes in R 2 Including multiple measures of one construct in set of predictor variables If using multiple measures, better to use a latent variables analysis Using variables that are naturally correlated Using measures of conceptually different constructs that are highly correlated Sampling error Create a correlation matrix of predictor variables before conducting MRA Look for correlations 0.80 Examine the pattern of correlations among several predictors Compute the variance inflation factor (VIF) Look for VIFs 10 VIF = 1 / (1 - R 2 ) 15
16 When planning a study, avoid including redundant variables Combine multiple measures of a construct into indexes If measures of conceptually-different constructs are highly correlated, use measures that show the lowest r When source of multicollinearity is sampling error, collect more data to reduce error Delete IVs that might be source of the problem Consider whether this results in valuable information loss Conduct a factor analysis to empirically determine which variables to combine in an index When using MRA in place of a factorial ANOVA consider curvilinear relationships Arithmetic-square of the IV represents curvilinear effect use the arithmetic product of the scores for two IVs to represent their interaction Be careful to avoid inducing multicollinearity (books on MRA explain how to do this) To use continuous IVs in ANOVA, they must be transformed into categorical variables Usually done with median split People scoring above median classified as high People scoring below median classified as low However, doing so creates conceptual, empirical, and statistical problems 16
17 Problems are avoided by using MRA IV can be treated as continuous rather than categorical If also have other, categorical variables, use dummy coding Assign values to experimental and control conditions In ANOVA, assumption is that IVs are uncorrelated Not an assumption of MRA If IVs are correlated, use MRA Used when DV is categorical Has same purpose as MRA, but does not assume that variables are normally distributed the relationship between the IVs and DVs are linear Produces an odds ratio (OR) Describes the likelihood that a research participant is a member of one category rather than the others OR of 1 indicates that scores are unrelated to membership in the DV categories OR > 1 indicates that high scoring participants are more likely to be in a target group OR < 1 indicates that high scoring participants are more likely to be in the other group 17
18 Allows a researcher to examine the pattern of relationships among a set of nominal level variables Most familiar example: chi-square test of association Loglinear analysis extends the principles of chi-square to situations in which there are more than two variables Logit analysis is used when one of the variables in loglinear analysis is considered to be the IV Analogous to ANOVA for nominal level DVs Allows tests of main effects and interactions for IVs Dependent Variable Categorical Continuous Data Types and Data Analysis Independent Variable Categorical Chi-square Analysis Loglinear Analysis Logit Analysis Analysis of Variance Continuous Logistic Regression Analysis Multiple Regression Analysis 18

A breakthrough with multifunctional unbreachable embankments
Climate change makes the Netherlands more vulnerable to flooding but limited budget is available to invest in Dutch flood protection. The solution: maximise the safety for every invested Euro. Unbreachable embankments are successful in reduction of fatality risk and damage risk, without being much more expensive than conventional embankment designs.
An unbreachable embankment is an over-dimensioned, robust embankment which is so strong that the probability of total collapse and flooding is virtually zero, even when the flood level temporarily exceeds the level of the embankment itself. An advantage of unbreachable embankments is that additional functions can be accommodated which may bear part of the cost.
If unbreachable embankments are such a smart investment, why are there so few in the Netherlands? Deltares identified the causes, by analysing 10 cases where multifunctional unbreachable embankments were considered. Research by intern Mallory Tettero showed that the assessment tools are the main cause of difficulty with implementation. Funding also causes difficulties concerning implementation because it decides whether reinforcement will take place or not, and it leads to ambiguities in prioritizing of reinforcement works. The institutional organization proved not to pose explicit problems but it did show the importance of legally recording and clear defining of the responsibilities.
Based on the results of this study the implementation of unbreachable embankments could be enhanced by giving attention to revising the assessment tools because these turned out to be the main barrier for implementation. Deltares is commissioned with delivering new assessment tools for the next assessment round. The new assessment tools are still under development , but it seems that more flexibility will be implemented concerning assessment of innovative embankment designs.

The Sid Meier's Civilization's objective is to "Build an empire to stand the test of time" it begins in 4000 BC and the players in Sid Meier's Civilization attempt to expand and develop their empires through the ages from the ancient era until modern and near-future times. It is also known simply as Civilization, Civilization I, or abbreviated to Civ or Civ I.
Sid Meier's Civilization was originally developed for DOS running on a PC. Civilization has undergone numerous revisions for various platforms. Civilization is a turn-based single- or multiplayer strategy game. The player in Civilization 1 takes on the role of the ruler of a civilization, starting with one (or rarely two) settler unit, and attempts to build an empire in competition with two to six other civilizations. Civilization requires a fair amount of micromanagement.

Donna Livingston has over 30 years of interior design experience for luxury homes, with the ability to create custom design of any style.
As demonstrated by the Trousdale Estates residence in Beverly Hills, Donna was able to take the grand designs of "Hollywood regency" that were envisioned by the estates' architect, John Elgin Woolf, and modernize them. Donna's interior design update of this iconic estate retained its stately spirit, but created an intimate space at the same time. Trousdale Estates real estate consists of a high concentration of luxury homes designed by noteworthy architects. The neighborhood is known for its mid-century modern chic architecture, and its abundance of high profile residents.
Never one to be limited in imagination, Donna's work in the Asian-inspired eclectic-yet-simple design of a California home located in The Vintage Club is a stark contrast to the Trousdale Estates. Foregoing the grand molding and regal accents of the Estates, Donna's team created a minimalist theme that incorporated gorgeous, earthy Brazilian wood ceilings and austere copper fascia and entry gates. These elements combine to embody a simplistic yet elegant design.
Donna has solved a multitude of interior-design frustration for countless clients of different backgrounds, needs, and complexities. She is extremely dedicated to her community, her craft, and her clients, providing a level of satisfaction and exactness that is virtually unmatched in her field.

I will not support our new appointed Sheriff CC
Ive expressed my fruistration with my family n friends as well. I wont post on my social media accounts anything negative w the office but ive encouraged them to do so. This place needs new leadership and a union. Sheriff CC and his crew think they can screw and destroy anyone who stands in their way or doesnt agree with them. They dont care about anyone but themselves. Money cant buy leadership, integrity, respect or honor! Another reason why my 2 years in the drop is looking really good right now and maybe a tell all book deal for the last 25 years at this place. Sheriff CC does not have my vote or my familys period......

CC does not care...
11-13-2017, 01:13 PM #3UnregisteredGuest
Which is why I have told my family and friends to use their social media accounts to persuade others not to vote for the guy. Just listen to his voice on the phone message. He sounds like he s way over his head which he is.
11-14-2017, 02:06 AM #4UnregisteredGuest
I have had very little contact with him but with what I have had I personally like the guy. Seems like a nice enough guy. Although for as nice as he seems to be its hard to overlook the fact that less than 10 years ago he was a detective working off duty for a rich family. As soon as he gets engaged and then married to the billionaire heiress then he starts his golden path up the chain, sheriff in less than 10 yeard from his engagement. Im sure they would have done it sooner if they could have but it goes to show that In this world money buys power, money buys campaigns.
One can only hope he hasnt forgotten where he came from before the riches before the golden path, if he could remember his days with boots on the grounds and use his good fortune to become real inspirational leader to the Troops, I guess we will see.

If you want a sample of what its going to be like under him go look at HSD and the disaster it was under him. He appointed morons to run it with his buddy Captain n Sgt knucklehead running the show. It s run like a political campaign jnstead of a top notch division.
11-14-2017, 04:06 PM #6UnregisteredGuest
Money will not hide all the Skeltons in ones closet or history of short comings with the office. Trust me, Sheriff CC has tons of Skeltons in his closet personally and at the office. The election will make the presidential campaign look like a bake sale compared to what is to come with the special sheriff election. Stand by troops, help is on the way!!!
11-14-2017, 07:06 PM #7UnregisteredGuest
Help is on the way??

Have you seen the promotions from CC?? Same old B.S.
Buckle down and hold on tight deputies...We're in for decades more of this shiit

Finding Your Differentiator: Chipotle vs. Taco BellSeptember 8, 2016, By Jennifer Culpepper
When branding your company or product, understanding your point of differentiation is key to creating the most successful experience for your customers. Before you begin designing your logo, website or interior space, you must understand who your brand is and to whom it speaks. Who are your customers? Why would they choose your product or service over your competitors? What makes you unique or better? Once you do some soul searching and find your key differentiators, you can begin to tell your brand story through unique messaging and visual elements that will resonate with your target audience.

Branding On a BudgetJune 16, 2016, By Jennifer Culpepper
If you think budgeting for branding is just for big corporations, than you are missing out on an enormous chance to increase the profitability of your business. If you want to hire a branding agency, the ticket to play starts anywhere between $25k to $150K. We can't speak for everyone, but we feel pretty comfortable assuming that's not in the budget for most independently-owned, small-to-medium-sized companies. But, that doesn't mean "branding" is not for you. [SEE FULL POST]
