Sociology coursework ranges from positivism to antipositivism and from functionalism to conflict theory. Other sociology coursework, such as contemporary social theory, economic sociology and criminology, helps students to study the function of social behavior in governments and people. Political sociology is another type of sociology coursework that attempts to solve the questions of why some humans do not take part in electing officials and passing laws. Sociology is the study of society and the people who make up societies.
Much of the sociology coursework focuses on the study of people and attempts to answer questions concerning the behavior and actions of the members of any given society. Positivism is one of the oldest forms of societal study and focuses on the belief that only the scientific method can be used to explain society's actions. Positivism claims that the only true knowledge is scientific, testable knowledge.
Early sociologists tied sociology to the natural sciences. They argued, through positivism, that the social sciences are logical extensions of the natural sciences. As such, they should retain the same objectivity, rationalism and causality when attempting to explain a society's behavior as those used when explaining any other group actions that might occur in nature.
Other sociology coursework, such as antipositivism, argues that society cannot be judged in the same manner as other forms in nature due, in part, to the ability of humans to make decisions and form beliefs independently of science. The functionalism type of sociology coursework studies the actions of society as a necessary requirement to allow societies to function as intended. Conflict theory is another type of sociology coursework that focuses its beliefs on the struggle between opposing forces within society such as master and slave, oppressor and oppressed and king and serf. This is also known as a Marxist theory, as Karl Marx subscribed to this school of thought.
The late 1960s gave way to a new course of study for the sociologist, this new sociology coursework focused on the contemporary social theory. One of the most notable theories to come from this course of study is the structuralist movement. This course of study examines the structure of the social system as a whole. Other coursework in the sociology field is social organization, social psychology and social change and dysfunction, which studies criminality, juvenile delinquency and drug addiction. Other social phenomenons, such as divorce, prostitution and the death penalty, are studied in this type of sociology coursework.

Part 1: Gary's New Article Can We Trust Wikipedia and Its Medical Skepticism?
This article will challenge a relatively recent group of Skeptics that identify themselves
as the advocates of Science-Based Medicine (SBM), which is not to be confused with
the widely accepted approach to decision-making in medical practice known as
Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM). Although SBM's most vocal leaders are physicians
and medical researchers, the group's origin is more properly found in the growing
Skepticism movement, which advocates strict adherence to mainstream science and
diligently criticizes alternative and traditional medical systems and therapies as pseudo-
science, quackery and enemies of reason.
Part 2: How dreams can save your life from life threatening diseases…
Dr. Larry Burk is radiologist, mind-body physician, acupuncturist, and was the founder and educational director of Duke University's Center for Integrative and its Mind-Body Medicine Study Group. He is also a founding member of the American Board of Scientific Medical Intuition. Larry was one of the early researchers in Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI and the first to study musculoskeletal disorders in professional baseball players, the Philadelphia Phillies with MRI technology. For the past two decades he explored medical intuition the relationship dreams and health, particularly warning dreams related to breast cancer. I would note that his TED talk about cancer warning dreams was censored, likely by the same medical Skeptics who control much of the content related to medicine and healthcare on TED. Larry holds a medical degree from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School and did post-doctoral work at Thomas Jefferson University and the University of Pennsylvania. He is the co-author "Dreams that Can Save Your Life: Early Warning Signs of Cancer and Other Diseases," which provides a history of the research in dreams and disease and advice on interpretation.

Marketing is key to IPTV subscriber growth in economic downturn, says analyst
Telco TV operators are sure to face their share of economic challenges in 2009 due to the ongoing economic unraveling. However, things might not be as bad for the IPTV industry as they could be for economy in general.
In fact, there are a few bright spots on the horizon, says Infonetics Research directing analyst Jeff Heynen. Heynen, who authored the research company's second quarter assessment of the IPTV and switched digital video equipment markets and is nearing completion of the company's Q3 report, says history shows the general public does not forsake entertainment spending in an economic downturn.
For some operators, he adds, the current economic decline could present an opportunity to win additional customers away from satellite and cable competitors if the price is right.
This week's Sound Off is presented as an audio podcast.

IntroductionHardware Performance Counters (HPC) are counters directly provided by CPU thanks to a dedicated unit: Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU).
Depending on the CPU arch/vendor you can have different kind of counter available. This is highly hardware dependent, even across a same vendor, each CPU generation has its own implementation.
Those counters include cycles, number of instructions, cache hits/misses, branch mispredictions, etc.
This can be valuable if they are correctly used.
PerfOn linux there is a command line tool which provide access to those counters: perf
for example we can capture statsitcs about command execution like ls:
perf stat -d ls -lR
Performance counter stats for 'ls -lR': 1725.533251 task-clock:HG # 0.119 CPUs utilized 3,421 context-switches:HG # 0.002 M/sec 39 CPU-migrations:HG # 0.023 K/sec 590 page-faults:HG # 0.342 K/sec 5,696,827,092 cycles:HG # 3.301 GHz [39.30%] 3,395,404,627 stalled-cycles-frontend:HG # 59.60% frontend cycles idle [39.23%] 1,837,081,737 stalled-cycles-backend:HG # 32.25% backend cycles idle [39.84%] 4,539,875,605 instructions:HG # 0.80 insns per cycle # 0.75 stalled cycles per insn [49.95%] 942,557,723 branches:HG # 546.241 M/sec [50.11%] 16,070,006 branch-misses:HG # 1.70% of all branches [50.57%] 1,271,339,179 L1-dcache-loads:HG # 736.780 M/sec [50.94%] 145,209,839 L1-dcache-load-misses:HG # 11.42% of all L1-dcache hits [50.73%] 83,147,216 LLC-loads:HG # 48.186 M/sec [40.04%] 525,580 LLC-load-misses:HG # 0.63% of all LL-cache hits [39.54%] 14.489543284 seconds time elapsed
Through this command you can also list more events available:
perf list
List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):
cpu-cycles OR cycles [Hardware event]
instructions [Hardware event]
cache-references [Hardware event]
cache-misses [Hardware event]
branch-instructions OR branches [Hardware event]
branch-misses [Hardware event]
bus-cycles [Hardware event]
stalled-cycles-frontend OR idle-cycles-frontend [Hardware event]
stalled-cycles-backend OR idle-cycles-backend [Hardware event]
cpu-clock [Software event]
task-clock [Software event]
page-faults OR faults [Software event]
context-switches OR cs [Software event]
cpu-migrations OR migrations [Software event]
minor-faults [Software event]
major-faults [Software event]
alignment-faults [Software event]
emulation-faults [Software event]
L1-dcache-loads [Hardware cache event]
L1-dcache-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
L1-dcache-stores [Hardware cache event]
L1-dcache-store-misses [Hardware cache event]
L1-dcache-prefetches [Hardware cache event]
L1-dcache-prefetch-misses [Hardware cache event]
L1-icache-loads [Hardware cache event]
L1-icache-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
L1-icache-prefetches [Hardware cache event]
L1-icache-prefetch-misses [Hardware cache event]
LLC-loads [Hardware cache event]
LLC-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
LLC-stores [Hardware cache event]
LLC-store-misses [Hardware cache event]
LLC-prefetches [Hardware cache event]
LLC-prefetch-misses [Hardware cache event]
dTLB-loads [Hardware cache event]
dTLB-load-misses [Hardware cache event]
dTLB-stores [Hardware cache event]
dTLB-store-misses [Hardware cache event]
dTLB-prefetches [Hardware cache event]
dTLB-prefetch-misses [Hardware cache event]
So you can for example specify one of those events during executing your command:
perf stat -e dTLB-load-misses ls -lR
Performance counter stats for 'ls -lR':
7,198,657 dTLB-misses
13.225589146 seconds time elapsed
You can also specify specific and processor dependent counter from the Intel Software Developper's manual Volume 3B chapter 19.
But the major flaw of this approach is that you can only monitor program executed from command line and exiting in order to get results. It is limited to small program, namely micro-benchmark.
How to use hardware counters to monitor real life application ?
libpfmEnter libpfm which provides an api to access hardware counters. This enables more flexibility to integrate those hardware counters into applications.
overseerFor Java application, I have found the overseer library which provides a Java API through JNI wrapper to libpfm.
With the help of this library it is now possible to integrate hardware counters directly inside any application.
Here an example how to use it:
import ch.usi.overseer.OverHpc; public class HardwareCounters { private static String[] EVENTS = { "UNHALTED_CORE_CYCLES", "INSTRUCTION_RETIRED", "L2_RQSTS:LD_HIT", "L2_RQSTS:LD_MISS", "LLC_REFERENCES", "MEM_LOAD_RETIRED:LLC_MISS", "PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_MIGRATIONS", "MEM_UNCORE_RETIRED:LOCAL_DRAM_AND_REMOTE_CACHE_HIT", "MEM_UNCORE_RETIRED:REMOTE_DRAM" }; private static String[] EVENTS_NAME = { "Cycles", "Instructions", "L2 hits", "L2 misses", "LLC hits", "LLC misses", "CPU migrations", "Local DRAM", "Remote DRAM" }; private static long[] results = new long[EVENTS.length]; public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { OverHpc oHpc = OverHpc.getInstance(); StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); for (int i = 0; i < EVENTS.length; i++) { if (i > 0) { sb.append(","); } sb.append(EVENTS[i]); } oHpc.initEvents(sb.toString()); int tid = oHpc.getThreadId(); oHpc.bindEventsToThread(tid); // process to monitor for (int i = 0; i < EVENTS.length; i++) { results[i] = oHpc.getEventFromThread(tid, i); } for (int i = 0; i < EVENTS.length; i++) { System.out.println(EVENTS_NAME[i] + ": " + String.format("%,d", results[i])); } OverHpc.shutdown(); } }
ConclusionHardware performance counters provided by CPU can be valuable to understand why you have some spikes into your application process. Thanks to overseer library you can inject those counters deep inside your application to fine-grained monitor your process.
In the next posts we will use this technique for various examples.

If you don't really know what a "chatbot" is, don't worry. Many people don't know them by that name, but chances are great that you've interacted with, or engaged in an online activity with a bot. If you do know what a chatbot is, but haven't considered it functional in Higher Ed just yet, I hate to tell you that you're already behind.
Let's set the stage with a few facts and figures before we dive into what a chatbot is and three ways to incorporate chatbots in higher ed.
- More than half the world now uses a smartphone;
- Almost two-thirds of the world's population now has a mobile phone;
- More than half of the world's web traffic now comes from mobile phones;
- 68% of Millennials prefer digital messenging platforms, AND believe that phone calls are invasive.
So, what this tells us is that we now have the potential to reach half the world's population and that the largest demographic (by generation) would prefer it to be via a messenger platform.
Enter chatbots.

Chatbots certainly aren't new. Technically speaking, they've been around since the early 2000's and Microsoft and AOL (Instant Messenger) were some of the earliest to employ the technology.
But wait....I can hear you asking....what do messenger apps and chatbots, (a) have in common, and (b) have to do with Higher Ed?
First of all, messenger platforms are probably how you have interacted with a chatbot, you just weren't aware. For example, Facebook messenger is a platform you've probably used - and depending upon which business page or service you "chatted" with, it could very well have been software instead of a human being on the other side.
Secondly, literally every school, college or university has social media accounts yet they aren't actively taking advantage of the cost savings and increased engagement a chatbot on a social media platform would allow.
Still not following the importance of incorporating chatbots in higher ed?
1. Improved Student Communication.
- This should be one of the most obvious use cases - allowing prospective students and parents of prospects to engage with and ask questions about the enrollment process, financial aid and even campus life all from the comfort of Facebook messenger or another web enabled service (on the school's home page for example). By utilizing the old Frequently Asked Questions as prompts, your University admissions could outsource the more routine emails and phone calls to a chatbot - saving time and money to devote to closing the deal with students once they get on campus.
- Another use case comes courtesy of Georgia Southern University who employed a messenger strategy to help combat "Summer Melt." Without knowing what to expect, the University saw 63% of students regularly use the service after only 4 months! If you consider 200,000 message exchanges, it would have taken a team of 10 and approximately $200,000 to handle the same workload.
2. Alumni affairs. Let's face it, once a student has cap, gown and degree in hand it's even harder than it was while they were on campus to get updated records. Most people shy away from web forms and other obvious collection methods once they've left campus because they don't want to tell your development officers, "no" when the annual fund calls.
Learn the best ways to engage with recent alumni
In full disclosure this, and the following Gameday support idea don't exist, at least not as far as I could find, so #YoureWelcome for the freebie.
Create a What's App or similar messenger platform bot dedicated to each graduation year or alumni cohort. For example, the chatbot, "Class of 2001" exists to attract members and the chatbot keeps them updated with alumni happenings, events, even classmate news (opt-in of course) and simply asks at the individual level for an updated LinkedIn profile link, mailing address, email and more. Again, this is all taking place via the mobile phone your alumni has in hand at a time and place of their choosing.
3. Gameday support. Admittedly, this falls under athletics, but it's still "seen" as a part of the University by fans and followers.
Similar to my ideas in Alumni affairs, this is a freebie, and of course if you're interested in building any of these - you now know where to find not only the idea guy, but the development team as well.
Imagine finding your kids one winter afternoon gathered around their iPad laughing hysterically and frantically asking you to verify your home mailing address. You'd be terrified no doubt, thinking they were ordering dirty Santa gifts on Amazon. But imagine if you find out your kids were just "chatting" with Aubie, the #1 mascot in all of collegiate athletics and Aubie promised them an autographed photo or calendar? Whether you know it or not, you've just, (a) created a lifelong fan and (b) given up your updated mailing address to the Alumni affairs office.
To conclude this chat session, I'd like to encourage you to view chatbots as another facet of your overall digital and social strategy. You can take an immediate step towards leading your peers in this space, meeting your Millennial and Gen Z students and prospects where they're most comfortable, and reduce your cost to serve in the enrollment management space.
Not ready for robots on campus just yet? How about starting the journey by making your Dean (or leadership team) more accessible to your students in a way those students want: social and online. We've recently wrapped up a research project and written a white paper about the findings. It's all about what and how students want to engage with their Dean while on campus.

Beach Boys star Mike Love is not a fan of modern pop music even though his youngest daughter tries to brain wash her father with chart hits.
Beach Boys' Mike Love isn't interested in chasing chart hits.
The 'I Get Around' hitmakers' co-founder - who is joined by Bruce Johnston and Al Jardine in the legendary group - has revealed he's not influenced by his youngest daughter Ambha's taste, as he doesn't consider pop songs nowadays proper music.
The 77-year-old musician - who is married to Jacquelyne Piesen and has eight children; two with Piesen and six from his four previous marriages - told The Sun newspaper: ''My youngest daughter Ambha - we'll have a conversation and she'll go, 'This is a really great song, Dad'.
''I'll say, 'Well, actually it's not a song.
''It is literally a beat and the guy is rapping about whatever'.
''But I come from that old school of a melody and harmonies and chord progression.''
The Beach Boys - without original member Brian Wilson, Mike's cousin - recently teamed up with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on a new album - produced by Don Reedman and Nick Patrick - and are set to perform two nights at Hampton Court Palace in London on June 15 and June 16, and Mike says he still loves everything about playing live.
He said: ''It's not like we're forced at gunpoint to go on tour. ''We like doing what we do and we are obsessed with recreating those songs as close to the recordings as possible. That's just our passion.''
Meanwhile, Mike recently admitted he would love to reunite with Brian at Glastonbury.
He last performed with his relative and bandmates in 2012 for a 50th anniversary album and tour, while Brian has since returned to his solo tours.
However, Mike has revealed he'd love for the surviving members of the group to play the world famous festival's Sunday afternoon legends slot at Worthy Farm in Somerset, South West England, which has seen the likes of Lionel Richie, Bee Gees' Barry Gibb, Jeff Lynne, Dolly Parton and Dame Shirley Bassey perform over the years.
The 'Good Vibrations' hitmaker insists that there is no bad blood between him and Brian, and that he's been communicating with him following his emergency back surger

Even as prepaid plans get better, it's the post-paid and contract-based plans that seem to get all of the attention. But, as prepaid plans look better and better, especially with their unlimited offerings in one capacity or another, it's no surprise that T-Mobile would be aiming to "evolve" the mobile data plans for prepaid customers, by bringing them new plans that include voice and text messaging, as well as options for those who need mobile data plans.
The new plans are set to roll out on October 18th, and include five different options. The first, at the top of the list, is the $70 per month option, which includes unlimited minutes and text messages, and gives the customer 2GB of data to consume for the month. The other unlimited option is $50 per month, which brings unlimited talk and text, and offers 100MB of data. Customers will also be able to choose a plan that includes unlimited text, with voice calls costing $.10 per minute.
But, that's not all. T-Mobile is also announcing that, beginning next week, T-Mobile will be offering their first mobile broadband prepaid plans. Customers will even get the opportunity to pick up the wireless carrier's Jet Prepaid USB laptop stick. It will be available to order from T-Mobile's website beginning October 18th, but if you want to wait to pick it up in a store, you'll have to wait until October 20th.
There are three plan options for the Jet prepaid USB laptop stick: $10 for a week pass, which will give customers 100MB. Or $30 per month for 300MB of data per month. Finally, customers can choose the $50 per month plan, which will give them 1GB of data per month. You can see the full official statement below.
Official Statement
Prepaid Monthly Phone Data Plans
On Oct. 18, T-Mobile plans to introduce a suite of new prepaid plans that include voice and text messaging service, as well as several options for prepaid data service. These plans include the first prepaid that allows customers to use any combination of minutes or messages up to 1,500 from a major carrier in the U.S. Plans include:
$70/month Unlimited Talk and Text with 2 GB of Data
$50/month Unlimited Talk and Text with 100 MB of Data
$30/month 1,500 Talk and Text (mix and match voice and text messages) with 30 MB of Data
Unlimited Text and $0.10/minute
$1.49/day Web DayPass
T-Mobile Jet Prepaid USB Laptop Stick & Rate Plans
Next week, T-Mobile will also launch its first prepaid mobile broadband offerings, including the new T-Mobile Jet Prepaid USB Laptop Stick, in white.
The T-Mobile Jet Prepaid USB Laptop Stick comes in white, pre-packaged with a prepaid SIM card, user guide, and plug & play connection manager software. Available on T-Mobile.com on Oct. 18 and in T-Mobile retail stores on Oct. 20.
Customers interested in trying mobile broadband or those who aren't frequent users can take advantage of several prepaid mobile broadband service options:
$10 week pass (100 MB)
$30 month pass (300 MB)
$50 month pass (1 GB)
T-Mobile's prepaid mobile broadband plans have no annual contract, no credit check, no overages and can be used with any of the company's mobile broadband products.

If the cost of an event is more than $75 and it is partly a contribution and partly for goods and services you must provide a written statement. The written statement must indicate that you can only deduct the amount of the payment that is more than the value of the goods or services received. It must also give you a good faith estimate of the value of those goods and services. You can put the statement on the invitation or send something when you receive payment.
Per IRS Publication 526 Charitable Contributions
A charitable organization must provide a written disclosure statement to donors of a quid pro quo contribution in excess of $75. A quid pro quo contribution is a payment made to a charity by a donor partly as a contribution and partly for goods or services provided to the donor by the charity. For example, if a donor gives a charity $100 and receives a concert ticket valued at $40, the donor has made a quid pro quo contribution. In this example, the charitable contribution portion of the payment is $60. Even though the part of the payment available for deduction does not exceed $75, a disclosure statement must be filed because the donor's payment (quid pro quo contribution) exceeds $75. The required written disclosure statement must:
- Inform the donor that the amount of the contribution that is deductible for federal income tax purposes is limited to the excess of any money (and the value of any property other than money) contributed by the donor over the value of goods or services provided by the charity, and
- Provide the donor with a good faith estimate of the value of the goods or services that the donor received.
The charity must furnish the statement in connection with either the solicitation or the receipt of the quid pro quo contribution. If the disclosure statement is furnished in connection with a particular solicitation, it is not necessary for the organization to provide another statement when the associated contribution is actually received.
No disclosure statement is required when:
- The goods or services given to a donor meet the standards for insubstantial value set out in Revenue Procedure 90-12, 1990-1 C.B. 471, and Revenue Procedure 92-49, 1992-1C.B. 987 (as updated);
- There is no donative element involved in a particular transaction with a charity (for example, there is generally no donative element involved in a visitor's purchase from a museum gift shop); or
- There is only an intangible religious benefit provided to the donor. The intangible religious benefit must be provided to the donor by an organization organized exclusively for religious purposes, and must be of a type that generally is not sold in a commercial transaction outside the donative context.
A penalty is imposed on a charity that does not make the required disclosure in connection with a quid pro quo contribution of more than $75. The penalty is $10 per contribution, not to exceed$5,000 per fund-raising event or mailing. The charity can avoid the penalty if it can show that the failure was due to reasonable cause.

An emerging St Annes actress has achieved her dream of starring in long running ITV serial drama Emmerdale.
Rachael Gill-Davis will appear in tomorrow's episode of Emmerdale – a soap which she watched with her mother Dawn when she was growing up.
The 23-year-old takes the role of Gail, an old friend of character Ryan Stocks – played by actor James Moore who has cerebral palsy, like his character in the show, and who won best newcomer in the National Television Awards.
Gail turns up in tomorrow's episode and puts Ryan in an awkward situation when she tries to kiss him.
Rachael, who went to King Edward and Queen Mary School before going to Lytham High School Sixth Form, said: "I watched Emmerdale growing up so it was so unbelievable meeting the actors who play the characters I've been watching for so many years.
"I had two days of filming in different locations.
"Everyone was so nice, they were lovely.
"The character of Gail is very much like me. She's a bit wacky and is into her music.
"She's an old friend of Ryan Stocks who turns up and ends up being a possible love interest.
"This is my first television role so it was daunting but exciting. I'm hoping it will open new doors.
"My mum is a massive fan of the soap so we're going to watch tonight's episode together."
Rachael's love of acting began when she was a child, and she attended the Emily Laws School of Acting from the age of eight.
She now lives in Manchester after graduating from the Manchester School of Acting in 2017 and has appeared in several plays touring England and Germany.
Rachael added: "I've always wanted to act. I went to the Emily Laws School of Acting; she always had faith in me."
- Emmerdale, 7pm on Tuesday, February 19 on ITV.

This award honors Dr. Robert W. Lichtwardt
Dr. Lichtwardt was born as a U.S. citizen in Brazil in 1924; his Portuguese would come forth in dialog to surprise many for decades thereafter. He attended Oberlin College as an undergraduate, with M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Illinois in 1951 and 1954. In 1957 he took an academic position at The University of Kansas where he remained for his academic career. He chaired the Dept. of Botany in the early 1970's and 1980's before attaining Professor Emeritus in 1995 and after which time he would train two more of his 16 Ph.D. students. An Honorary Life Member of the MSA beginning in 1973, he served as President of the society 1971-72 and was Editor-in-Chief of Mycologia from 1965-70. He received the MSA's Weston Award for Teaching Excellence in 1982 and Distinguished Mycologist Award in 1991. A mycologist at heart, his interests include Fungi that parasitize or are symbiotically associated with insects. In 1986, he published the monograph on Trichomycetes, gut-dwelling endobionts of various arthropods, a volume which is now maintained online. Many of his more than 150 published papers are in trichomycetology. He trained and mentored students and colleagues in his own laboratory and at other locations around the world on this and other topics. His approach and manner, genuine and sincere, have inspired many "students of Mycology" and left them with the desire to want to do the same. This Award in his name is established, with a sense of appreciation and gratitude, both to honor this legacy of achievement and to foster continued achievements for generations to come.

10-Minute Workout to Bust Your Post-Vacay Exercise Rut
Hello, class! Here's what I did on my summer vacation: Scarfed popcorn, hot dogs and malt vinegar-splattered fries on a Delaware shore boardwalk; chowed down on pickled eggs, grits and shameful sweet treats at Hominy in Charleston, SC, and went to countless wine tastings in Sonoma, CA.
Time off is wonderful, but now we're all back to the grind (ho hum). Never mind getting our focus to shift from cocoa butter to emails -- how the heck are we supposed to will ourselves back to our workout routines?
Luckily, trainer and author of No Gym Required, Jennifer Cohen -- who is also the "Body Image Expert" on Dr. Drew's upcoming new show Lifechangers -- gives us 5 tips and 3 moves for getting back to work ... on our bodies:
I guess misery loves company because Cohen's issues make me feel better about my own struggles. I don't want to lift weights; I want to read the third Hunger Games book! But we must do what we must do.
Here's what Cohen does to force herself back to the gym -- and not just to workout with clients!
Start Small
It's all about the small wins. An hour may seem daunting, so a great way to re-start is to do 15 minutes -- it goes by so fast and, once you start, it's easier to decide to continue. The first 5 to 10 minutes is hardest, but you can trick your brain into thinking it's easier by breaking the workout down into smaller increments of time.
Exercise First Thing
If you're sitting at home and you know you have to go for a run, you may procrastinate. Do it first thing in the morning before you can even think about putting it off.
Slot It In
Schedule the workout like you would any other meeting. Enter it into your calendar, which puts exercise literally back on your "To Do" list. Updating your schedule is part of getting back into the swing of things anyway, right?
Do Something You Like
It's obviously harder to do things that you don't enjoy. If you dislike running and you decide to go for a jog, you'll keep procrastinating. Many of us don't like working out -- it's a means to an end. If that's the case, pick the activity you hate least. (For instance, Cohen likes to run on the treadmill because she feels the best afterward from the endorphin rush.)
Change Things Up
If it's a boredom thing or if you're plateauing weight-wise, a great way to motivate yourself is to change the routine. Try something new and different about which you've always been curious. Sign up for tennis lessons or dance classes.
Or simply start with Cohen's 10-minute workout routine below!
How To: Begin by standing about 3 feet in front of a platform (your back toward the bench), hands on hips (beginner) or holding dumbbells (advanced). Place your right foot on the bench, checking that your left leg is still straight in alignment with your upper body. If not, adjust your foot placement. Slowly descend, just like in a regular lunge -- remembering to keep your left knee behind your left foot. (Your target depth is where your left leg is in a 90 degree bend position). Hold for 2 seconds, then extend your left leg and return to the beginning position.
Muscle groups: Glutes, hamstrings, quads, calves, and hip flexors.
Repetitions: 12-15 per leg; 3 sets.
How To: Stand with feet a little more than hip distance apart. With a free weight in each hand, raise your right arm up in an arc over your head and then back down, while lifting your right knee up toward the side of your body to meet your right elbow. Repeat on left side.
Muscle Groups: Abs/core (obliques, glutes, deltoids)
Repetitions: 12-15 per side; 3 sets.
How To: Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing out. Hold a single free weight with both hands in front of you. Keep your back straight and lower yourself down, bending from your knees. Hold for 3 seconds and then exhale as you slowly rise back up.
Muscle Groups: Glutes, inner thighs, quads, hamstrings
Repetitions: 12-15; 3 sets.
Still unmotivated? Dude -- drink some coffee. Or just try again tomorrow!

New teachers treated to lunch and speeches at special gathering
BURLESON – Education, community and motivating young minds toward excellence were a few of the topics discussed Tuesday by three prominent speakers at the Burleson ISD's New Employee Luncheon.
As many as 325 people packed the Burleson High School Cafeteria around lunchtime to hear remarks by Kenneth Rose, vice president of ancillary services at Texas Health Huguley Hospital, Ken Shetter, mayor of Burleson, and keynote speaker Dr. Bret Jimerson, superintendent of the Burleson ISD.
Andy Pickens, president of the school board and of the Burleson Chamber of Commerce, was master of ceremonies at the event.
Jimerson discussed what it was like to get his own Twitter account, @BretJimerson – and turn around and use it to better communicate with teachers and students.
"We have a lot of tools, and … Twitter is just another way to connect," he said.
Rose said education is of the utmost importance in all areas of life – but especially when filling work positions at his company.
"We're very glad to be here today," Rose said.
Mayor Ken Shetter said giving up on students is never an option.
"It is going to be up to you to make a difference," Shetter said.
The mayor said the Burleson Opportunity Fund provides young Burleson students with the necessary funds for higher education.
One of the previous recipients of this award, Kristen Reynolds, 23, is one of the newest teachers at Burleson ISD.
A 2011 BHS graduate, she completed her associate degree in liberal arts from Hill College in 2014. She went on to graduate from Texas Wesleyan University in Burleson with a major in elementary education in 2016.
Reynolds said the Burleson Opportunity Fund paid for four semesters of her schooling.
And now? She'll about to start teaching fourth and fifth graders at BISD's Clinkscale Elementary.
Incidentally, Bret Jimerson is now connecting with many people through Twitter. But Kristen Reynolds was not one of them.
"I'm not a Twitter person," she said with a smile.

New program to slash the cost of glasses for South Australians on low incomes
Pensioners, people living with disability and the unemployed are among those to benefit from a new program that provides low income South Australians with quality, affordable glasses.
Glasses SA, a partnership between the State Government and Optometry SA, will see participating optometrists provide very low cost glasses to the most disadvantaged in the community.
Good vision is important for living a healthy, happy and productive life. About 90 per cent of blindness or vision impairment is preventable or treatable, and it is vital that people see an optometrist to be diagnosed and treated as early as possible.
However, some people needing treatment may avoid seeing an optometrist because they are embarrassed about not being able to afford glasses.
Under the Glasses SA program, eligible people will pay a maximum of $25 for glasses with single vision lenses, $50 for those with bi-focal lenses and $100 for glasses with multi-focal lenses.
Children who are dependants of people who qualify for the Glasses SA scheme will also be eligible for glasses, meaning that many children will have access to low cost glasses.
Eligible people can get a new pair of glasses through Glasses SA every three years.
People who receive a full Centrelink pension, such as an age pension or a disability pension, or receive full Newstart Allowance are eligible for Glasses SA.
Currently, 65 optometrists are delivering Glasses SA, with more expected to sign up over coming months. Participating optometrists have a Glasses SA sticker displayed in their window.
For more information go to www.sa.gov.au/concessions/GlassesSA, visit a participating optometrist or call Glasses SA on 1300 762 577.

Stories from the Road is a collection of stories about my own photographic adventures in South Asia. Sometimes the stories are exciting and sometimes mundane and at times emotional. This section deals with vernacular photography and the way we all experience the photographs we see. What they meant when we took them and what they mean over time.
Celebrating Christmas in Tamil Nadu
If you read last week's Stories from the Road post, you know my mom came for a brief visit. She was supposed to come during Christmas 2016, however, there was some visa confusion so she did not make it. So, she changed her ticket to March and we had Christmas in Tamil Nadu.
The photography you see above shows my mom (Jennifer), Meropi, and me wearing our Christmas sunglasses! I am standing on the left wearing reindeer shades. My mom is in the middle with Christmas tree glasses, and Meropi is on the right chillin' like Santa Clause. The photograph was taken in our room in Mamallapuram, Tamil Nadu. You can see the beautiful brown curtains behind us.
Usually we would not wear these crazy sunglasses. However, my mom and I have a tradition. Every Christmas she gives me something associated with reindeer. This tradition started when I was 14. For Christmas when I was 14 she gave me a stuffed animal reindeer. I still have it and ever since then I have received something related to reindeer ever year. For this last Christmas, my mom told me she was looking for something reindeer related that was relatively flat so it would be easy to pack. She found these glasses and decided we all needed some.
The photograph was taken with my cell phone and the quality is not great. For some reason when I have my camera set to the front facing camera, the setting is automatically set to the beauty setting which make the photo look weird. But using the camera on the phone was the best way for use to take a group photo in the hotel room.
It is nice to know traditions can be kept alive regardless of where you are in the world. I also appreciate that my mom included Meropi in our Christmas shenanigans. Even though we celebrated Christmas in March in the humid and hot weather of Tamil Nadu it was one to remember. And I love the photograph because we all look ridiculous.
Stay tuned this week and next week for more information and stories from Tamil Nadu!

LOS ANGELES — Ever since he came into office, Gov. Jerry Brown has promised to address what he has long called the state's "wall of debt" built up over years. And now that the nation's most populous state is looking at a multibillion-dollar surplus, Mr. Brown, in a $155 billion state budget proposal submitted on Thursday, is pledging to make good on that promise.
While Mr. Brown called for an 8.5 percent spending increase, he also proposed spending $11 billion on debts and liabilities, including a $6 billion deferred payment to schools and roughly $4 billion to pay down economic recovery bonds issued by his predecessor, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Mr. Brown's budget was missing some of the proposals for new spending on social programs, like universal prekindergarten, that many Democrats have called for.
Some Republicans quickly praised Mr. Brown's approach, but it could set off a fight among fellow Democrats, who control the legislature and hope to use some of the projected $4.2 billion surplus to restore program cuts.
"When you're at this level of long-term liability, it isn't time to embark on a raft of new initiatives," Mr. Brown said Thursday at a news conference. "By no means are we out of the wilderness."
Armed with charts to illustrate the volatile boom-and-bust cycles in the state's revenues, which rely heavily on capital gains taxes, Mr. Brown emphasized efforts to address a "mountain of long-term liabilities," including unfunded retirement benefits, that amount to $354.5 billion.
Much of the state's future debt comes from potentially crippling pension liabilities. Mr. Brown's budget estimated $218 billion in unfunded retirement benefits for public employees. Several cities in California — most recently Stockton and San Bernardino — have filed for bankruptcy because they have been unable to pay for pension and health care benefits for retirees.
The California State Teachers Retirement System has an estimated shortfall of $80 billion, and several officials have warned that the fund could deplete its money in 30 years. Mr. Brown called the teacher pension fund a "disaster ahead" and said he would call on teachers and school districts to help the state come up with a new way to pay for the obligations.
"We had two governors who said, 'Hallelujah, let's spend!' " Mr. Brown said in a swipe against his predecessors.
The governor also set aside $1.6 billion for a rainy-day fund, saying, "Wisdom and prudence should be the order of the day."
Mr. Brown is widely expected to run for re-election this fall and will almost certainly rely on his image as a responsible fiscal steward of the state. In 2010 he ran for governor promising to fix the state's rapidly deteriorating finances, and in 2012 he persuaded voters to approve a temporary tax increase.
While Democratic lawmakers are likely to push for more spending increases, Mr. Brown's initial proposal was met with optimism from legislative leaders.
"With a strong rainy-day fund in place we can avoid mistakes of the past and ensure that education and other vital services in California are protected from the volatility of boom-and-bust cycles," said Assembly Speaker John Perez.
Darrell Steinberg, the Senate president pro tem, signaled he would continue to push for expanded prekindergarten classes, saying it saved billions in the long term by reducing costs of special education and juvenile crime.
"I appreciate the governor's aggressive approach to more than double the reserve and pay down debt even more quickly than we had hoped," Mr. Steinberg said in a statement. "At the same time, we must invest in the people of California, especially those living in the economic margins."
After years of cutting from schools and colleges, the proposed budget increases spending on kindergarten through high school to $70 billion, a $10 billion increase. Higher education spending would increase by $1 billion. The budget also includes a $142 million increase for the University of California and California State University systems, and calls for freezing tuition increases and making it easier for students to graduate in four years.
"This proposed budget does more to help community college students than any in recent memory," said Brice W. Harris, the California Community Colleges chancellor. "We are now on the way to adding back the much-needed classes that will restore our system's ability to provide educational opportunities for those seeking to improve their lives at community colleges."
Mr. Brown played down concerns from advocates who say that the poor have suffered the worst from repeated cuts to health care and other social programs. "We can always do more," he said. The budget includes a plan to spend $300 million from the state's cap-and-trade program on a high-speed rail project, a signature project of Mr. Brown's that has been mired in controversy and legal wrangling.
And the governor also provided a hint that he was prepared for more legal battles over the state's prison system: The budget assumes the federal courts will give California a two-year extension to meet its population cap. The budget allocates $500 million for more prison facilities and gives $40 million to re-entry programs for former inmates.

Liberal commentator Alan Colmes returned to The O'Reilly Factor last night for the first time since his epic shouting match with host Bill O'Reilly last week.
The two seemed to have mended their friendship, with both appearing jovial on last night's episode of the Fox News program. "Bill, I wanted to thank you for doing couple's counseling with me," Colmes quipped.
Last Wednesday, O'Reilly quickly lost his temper while he and Colmes were talking about President Obama's attitude toward spending cuts. O'Reilly said that Obama has no interest in spending cuts or the national debt. Colmes countered that Obama has offered specific cuts to Republicans in Congress, but that they wouldn't budge on them.
O'Reilly flared, demanding that Colmes provide one specific example of a program Obama has pledged to cut. Colmes said vaguely that Obama planned to cut entitlements, with O'Reilly slamming his fist on the desk and demanding something more specific. "This is bull-blank," O'Reilly said, flat-out calling Colmes a "liar."
The very next day, O'Reilly addressed the shouting match at the beginning of his program, calling the issue they were debating "a bunch of general nonsense," and offered an apology.
"Even though I'm sorry I said Alan was lying — I should not have used that word — I'm glad the exposition occurred," O'Reilly said.
Colmes seems to have accepted the apology, remaining mostly pleasant with O'Reilly on last night's program. That is, until, O'Reilly baited Colmes back into the argument they had last week, clarifying his position and saying that Obama has "proposed slowing down the spending, not cutting – and even that is minuscule."
"I'm trying to understand, Colmes. I'm trying to understand," O'Reilly said.
"I think it depends on how you define a cut," shot back Colmes.
O'Reilly pointed out that Obama has spent more money than any other president combined, to which Colmes responded that the claim isn't based on fair metrics on the rate of spending increase. Under that microscope, Obama is actually lower than any president since Eisenhower.
Here's video of Alan Colmes' return to The O'Reilly Factor:

ALEKS Math Course Placement
What Do I Need To Know?
Counseling and Testing Center
The ALEKS placement assessment is available free of charge for ISU students. Students have five free attempts at the ALEKS placement assessment within a six month timeframe, starting when the first test is taken. The fee for the assessment is currently $30 out of the free window.
For more information call Counseling and Testing at 208-282-2130.
Math Placement
A student's SAT, ACT, or ALEKS score is used to determine Math Course Placement. Students who have completed a MATH pre-requisite class with a grade of C- or better, or have an equivalent test score, are allowed to register for the next level math class.
The ALEKS placement assessment determines a student's readiness for various math courses. It may also be used as a tool to assist in determining math strengths and weaknesses. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately assess student knowledge.
ALEKS Prep and Learning Module
After taking the initial ALEKS placement assessment, students may use the ALEKS Prep and Learning Module (PPL) as a self study tutorial to refresh their math skills. Students may then retake the ALEKS placement assessment in order to improve their math placement score. This strategy can be used to bypass one or more pre-requisite math courses.
- Students have a total of 5 free attempts to get the math placement they want.
- A minimum of 5 hours is required in the PPL before a student can retake the ALEKS placement assessment. Students have the opportunity to use the PPL between assessments to increase their knowledge and improve their placement score.
- Research shows that 85% of students who spend 5 hours or more in the PPL mode will test into at least one math class higher than their initial placement.
