This study is part of a program of research which works to develop methods for increasing performance with a minimum of direct training. These projects assume that students are not rational agents and not reflective, that their understanding of their cognition is limited and that declarative knowledge typically does not alter scholar performance. Therefore, a battery of tests, surveys, and previous research is assembled to show how better behavior and superior procedural knowledge can be taught without relying on rational decision making, declarative knowledge, or like methods.
By establishing how wary student behavior is effected by cognitive load, this paper demonstrates how procedural learning can occur without descriptive learning. Related work has already been done, though it may frame the results as altering the environment to produce academic performance (Horn, PytlikZillig, Bruning, & Kauffman, 2003; Dempsey, PytlikZillig, & Bruning, 2005; PytlikZillig, Bruning, Horn, & Bodvarsson, 2005). The ultimatum game has been used as a device to show how rational behavior increases through practice, not necessarily rather than increased explicit understanding of concepts (Lusk & Hudson, 2004; Slonim & Roth, 1998).
In this research program, two studies at varying student cooperative behavior, a survey will examine expertise-related behavior, ongoing work focuses on recall behavior, and a theoretical project seeks to divest metacognition from rational agency. This research, and an already conducted experiment on how political orientation can alter cooperation, shows how high level behaviors (how students interact with each other) is altered by seemingly unrelated factors and unrelated with explicit beliefs about punishment. Work on creativity, talent, and expertise, of which a pilot study is already complete led, show while the behavior of expertise within a domain tends to be similar, the experts themselves then to be ignorant of what makes them successful. Additionally, a pre-existing program project of studying and note-taking behavior (Brenton, Kiewra, Whitfil, & Dennison, 1993; Igo, Bruning, McCrudden, & Kauffman, 2003; Titsworth & Kiewra, 2004; Igo, Bruning, & McCrudden, 2005a; 2005b) will be extended. Lastly, the literature of rationality (for example, Moshman, 2005) will be presented in a way that makes it clear how disbelief in the power of descriptive knowledge still allows educational psychologist to keep their well-worn and trusty tool kit.
The purpose of education is to improve performance. While performance boils down to reading and writing ability for some fields, for the mass of students a focus on explicit learning may be misguided. This study, and this research program, therefore seeks ways to improve performance without spending time on declarative knowledge that could be more valuably spent elsewhere.

CTMH Spotlight Blog Hop featuring Color-Ready Kraft BordersPosted in Blog Hops and tagged with CTMH, inking, pearls on 07/15/2011 01:00 am by Wendy
This month's Spotlight Blog Hop is using the Kraft Color-Ready Borders by Close to My Heart. There are so many things you can do with these borders. You can ink them different colors, use them in different lengths, layer them, and use them in combination with other embellishments like sparkles, pearls, and ribbon.
The hop makes a full circle so if you are starting here just continue until you make your way back. If you have already started then you should be coming from Nikka's Blog.
Supplies used are all Close to My Heart: Mistletoe Level 2 Paper Pack, Mistletoe Level 2 Assortment, Pearl Opaques, Color-Ready Kraft Borders, Old World Alphabet stamp set, New England Ivy Ink, and Cranberry Ink. Page Maps Sketch – October 2009
Hey sis, you were right – the Old World Alphabet is awesome! It's one that I didn't care for from the look but after using it I am in love! For my layout, I used Cranberry and New England Ivy inks and a sponge to color the Color-Ready Kraft Borders. I layered them and added pearls to accent.
Your next stop is Vicki's Blog.

We were delighted to welcome Nick Hewer and a team from the BBC in the Spring of 2016 to our headquarters in Sheffield, The Old West Gun Works, to film a piece about our business. Hewer interviewed our founder and chairman, Hugh Facey at length about his vision for the business, innovation, the employee ownership model and building a sustainable business that thrives in Yorkshire.
The show aired on BBC1 on 15th February to an estimated audience of 4.5m people; the feature was introduced by presenter, Matt Baker, who said: "Let's now restore your faith in British bosses. This inventor and boss had thrown away the rule book and handed over the company to his staff. He has even scrapped the retirement age. What a company!"

HiI have a stock 69Z with the original 4053 DZ carb. I wouldn't mind something a little more street-able (smaller). Several years ago, JohnZ had recommended the 600 Holley #0-80145 as a great bolt-on replacement. That carb is no longer made, however, and the tech guys at Holley must be 19-year olds or something cause they don't know either. What's the current replacement? The HP series 650 (PN 0-80541-1) has also been recommended to me. Thoughts? Bear in mind I ain't a tech guy. Thanks!
Holley private labels those carbs for Summit. Summit makes nothing on their own that I'm aware of.. Kicker is summit deals with the warranty & tech support on their name brand stuff.

Aussie court loss for Media Moguls
may bring pirate 'bloodbath' closer
Are our "children" safe?
Is this what Hollywood wants to do to Downunder pirates now…
Well, it looks like Hollywood's attempts to beat the film and music pirates, at least Downunder (in Australia), just got that much harder.
Asher Joel noted in Sydney Morning Herald today that the Australian ISP iiNet has slain those who own the film industry in a judgment delivered earlier in a landmark Australian Federal Court piracy case.
"The decision has the potential to impact internet users and the internet industry profoundly as it sets a legal precedent surrounding how much ISPs are required to do to prevent customers from downloading movies and other content illegally," Joel said in his report.
In a summary of the 200-page judgment delivered in the court, Justice Dennis Cowdroy said the evidence established that iiNet had done no more than to provide an internet service to its users.
"iiNet is not responsible if an iiNet user uses that system to bring about copyright infringement … the law recognises no positive obligation on any person to protect the copyright of another," Justice Cowdroy found.
According to Moses, Neil Gane, executive director of the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft, which brought the case on behalf of the Hollywood studios, arguably owned mainly by Media Moguls, said AFACT would review the decision before deciding whether to appeal.
You should read the report and video here if you haven't yet read it from the link above and look at the video here.
But whether an appeal proceeds one thing seems certain the studios are going to come gunning for the individuals that use BitTorrent and other file-sharing applications, now they cannot get the ISPs. Whether or not you support piracy you can expect the blood of Mister and Master and Mrs and Miss Everyman on the floor.
That could mean all our kin, or at least some of them. Who doesn't know somebody who illegally downloads music or movies?
There is no doubt in my mind that none of us will have the money or guts to fight the Media Moguls once High Noon arrives. Perhaps it is up to us to see that our kith and kin desist from this illegal practise. But will we?
It's also interesting that Australia, the onetime home of Rupert Murdoch, was chosen for this battle.
The studios involved included: Village Roadshow, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, 20th Century Fox and Disney, and the Australian Seven Network.
ThinkBalm provides worthwhile
new decision-making aid …
What immersive internet will you choose?
Although it came out a little while ago ThinkBalm's Erica and Sam Driver's latest opus, "The Enterprise Immersive Software Decision-Making Guide", deserves a place on the hard drive of anyone contemplating moving an enterprise, business or educational use into a Virtual World. It's a quick, easy read, being only 29 pages long, but a lot of what the ThinkBalm principals say makes sense, despite the fact that I have disagreed with some of their ideas in the past.
Executive summaries are not everything, but the Drivers point out in this one they have created their use case-based guide, No 4 in a series, for "trailblazers" in virtual worlds – and there are still plenty of those still out there along with the naysayers who will use any stumble to pull them down – to aid them in the enterprise immersive software selection process.
"We present "if/then" scenarios and highlight good-fit vendors for common situations," say the Drivers, who define the immersive internet as "a collection of emerging technologies combined with a social culture that has roots in gaming and virtual worlds."
"While immersive software can be applied in many ways, this report focuses on the most common use cases: meetings, conferences, and learning and training," the Drivers say.
They note that the key question is, "What business problem(s) are you trying to solve?" with all other questions flowing from this one.
The report offers guidance on how to: 1) ask core business questions to frame the discussion, 2) choose a research-and-demo, do-it-yourself, or combination approach, 3) identify requirements based on your use case, and 4) filter your options based on important limiters.
To develop the decision-making guide, ThinkBalm analysts held structured briefings with 19 enterprise immersive software vendors and conducted interviews with 15 Immersive Internet advocates and implementers.
As the result of these briefings and interviews they have constructed a number of recommendations which they elaborate on.
These include: Build a list of use case-based requirements and rank their importance; Scan the full vendor landscape before making a decision; Take a use case-based, portfolio approach and select one or two preferred vendors; Look for reuse opportunities; Prepare for market churn in 2010; Turn to services providers and system integrators for turnkey solutions; Get as much hands-on experience as possible before making a vendor choice.
To know the rest you will have to read their Report. Better still join their community in Second Life, in ReactionGrid or on the Net

Even though growing up in the 1980s on 85th Avenue and Olive Street had its challenges, there are still memories that I look back on with fondness. I can still hear the snapping of that old telephone cord we used as a jump rope as we played double Dutch in front of my house. The only disagreement my friends and I had to settle was who would jump first — which we usually solved with the flip of a penny.
But no day would be complete unless we held one of the sweetest celebrations ever known: the coveted candy party.
Each of us would ask our folks for a dollar. We would then strategize on what sugary treats we would get. With about $5 among us, it was off to the two corner stores on 86th and Bancroft avenues to claim our goods. We would leave with brown paper bags just about to overflow with Now-and-Laters, Blow Pops, Mambas, Corn Nuts, and occasionally, cotton candy. We would then head to the porch of one of our houses and divvy up our goods.
Oh, sugar. At that time, no one had much of a problem with you. As long as we ate you in moderation, and as long as we were active, we would be in good shape (no pun intended).
Today, we have a national obesity epidemic. A new report published by the nonpartisan, nonprofit Trust for America's Health says that in less than two decades, half the population in 39 states could be obese. California's adult obesity rate, the study shows, could reach above 46 percent.
And sugar, it seems like nowadays you're catching a lot of the blame for a massive problem that weighs heavily on cities such as Oakland.
I am a program manager at a health department where I manage a nutrition and physical activity program. We design and implement activities to promote healthful behaviors, specifically targeting low-income communities like those I grew up in.
My childhood gives me an advantage in the work that I do — especially in understanding what factors make it hard for people to be physically active or eat healthful. Violence and crime in the streets are huge obstacles to health. Who wants to take their family for a walk if they don't feel safe?
As a kid, sugar was a big part of my life and diet — but my mother and grandmother did a great job of making sure my siblings and I only had candy and desserts in moderation. They always stressed the importance of meals filled with fruits and vegetables that we were fortunate to have grown ourselves.
Plus, we had tons of opportunities to be physically active.
I cherish the memories of my grandmother and I skipping to my dance classes. Even though my streets were hit hard by drugs and violence, I still felt safe.
I was fortunate for the abundance of activities that kept me from being overweight, regardless of the amount of sugar I consumed. But today, I realize that not many kids are as fortunate.
It's a blessing that I am a health educator who works to encourage healthful behaviors and lifestyles. One of the reasons I chose this work is because I saw the effects cancer and heart disease were having on my family and community, and I wanted to make a difference.
But I do struggle with understanding how to provide sound education and resources without judging or victim-blaming the communities I serve.
My dear, sweet sugar. My heart aches for you, as I know you don't intend to do us harm. In my childhood, you meant such happiness. But in my adulthood, I see how you can cause sadness and pain.
If only finding solutions to epidemics like this were as easy as flipping that penny.
