Qualitative v. Quantitative Data
There are two general types of data. Quantitative data is information about quantities; that is, information that can be measured and written down with numbers. Some examples of quantitative data a...
Categorical Data
One other type of data you'll need to know is categorical data. This is data that can be organized into mutually exclusive categories. If we look at a bunch of bananas and they're all either green,...
Discrete v. Continuous Data
Whenever we collect data, there's a collection of possible values from which we record our observations. If we're flipping a coin, the possible values we can observe are H (heads) or T (tails). Or,...
Univariate v. Bivariate Data
Before we start analyzing, we need to make one more distinction between different types of data. Then our data can take a seat on the couch and we'll start getting to the root of its daddy issues.S...
Let's start with something near and dear to everyone's heart: test scores. Suppose ten students took a math test and received the following scores:61, 90, 72, 100, 80, 84, 88, 92, 92, 78.It's diffi...
The phrase "a la mode," used today to mean "with ice cream," literally means "in the fashion." As we know, there is nothing more fashionable than ice cream. In statistics, the mode of a set of data...
When thinking about averages we like to think about cookies. Okay, we always like to think about cookies...averages are only a convenient excuse.Suppose Paul got 3 cookies and Mary got 5. That dist...
The median of a list of numbers is the "middle" number. To find the median, first we put our list of numbers in order. Then we cross off pairs of numbers (one from the top of the list and one from...
Quartiles are numbers that break a list of data up into quarters ("quarters,'' "quartiles''... makes sense, right?). We are totally stuffed full of cookies at the moment, so let's turn our attentio...
Stem and Leaf Plots
A stem is something from which stuff grows. We can think of a digit like a stem: if we write down a single digit, each choice for the digit we write next "grows'' us a new number. If it doesn't see...
Bar Graphs and Histograms
Remember the difference between discrete and continuous data: discrete data has clear separation between the different possible values, while continuous data doesn't. We use bar graphs for displayi...
Pie Charts/Circle Graphs
Pie Charts, also known as circle graphs, are ways of displaying the proportions, or percentages, of data that fall into different categories. It makes sense that these graphs are useful for display...
Box and Whisker Plots
A box and whisker plot for a list of numbers is a picture built on a number line that uses five numbers: the lowest and highest values in the list, and the quartiles Q1, Q2, Q3. Try not to shave fo...
Scatter Plots
A common way of displaying bivariate data when both variables are quantitative is using a scatter plot. A scatter plot has a title, axes with labels, and (exactly like it sounds) little dots scatte...
Linear Regression
As we mentioned earlier, sometimes the dots in a scatter plot cluster like they're trying to make a nice shape. Sometimes the dots try to look like a straight line:Sometimes the dots try to look li...
Outcomes and Events

In this age of information overabundance, keeping things simple is critical. One of the simplest estimating methods is the stick method, which many contractors use when they first get started — me included. I used to make a list of the materials I needed, then go to the hardware store and lumberyard to find out what everything cost. To determine a project's price, I doubled the cost of the materials — thinking that would also cover my labor — added a bit for Murphy, then added overhead and profit. While I rarely lost money on materials, I often didn't make...

Slim Aarons
George Allen Aarons, called "Slim" because of his slender body, was born in Manhattan on Oct. 29, 1916. He was reared in New York and New Hampshire and was an Army photographer in World War II; he is now regarded as one of the most influential magazine photographers of his generation. After enlisting in the army at the age of 18 he became a photographer at the West Point Military Academy and then a reporter during the Second World War. Regarding his participation in the conflict, which nevertheless earned him the Purple Heart, Aarons simply says that "The only beach worth landing on is the one adorned with ravishing young semi-clad girls, sun-bathing peacefully in the sun." Shortly after he opened a bureau for Life magazine in Rome, where he vowed to make a career out of photographing beautiful people, doing it his own way with natural surroundings, little makeup and no artificial light.
In 1951 Slim Aarons married a young Life employee, Lorita Dewart. The family for many years lived in Katonah, N.Y., spending winters in Gstaad or Palm Beach, and summers on the French or Italian Rivieras. In New York Mr. Aarons photographed all of Leland Hayward's stage productions. In 1974 he published "A Wonderful Time: An Intimate Portrait of the Good Life." which today is considered a classic. A sequel, "Once Upon a Time," in part a reprise of the first book, was published in 2003. In 2005 a third book, "A Place in the Sun," came out. He is noted for his documentation of the Beautiful People for over 50 years, encompassing high society, celebrity, aristocracy, and the jet set.
From 1950 to 1980, he was the premiere Jet Set photographer and dedicated himself to the depiction of Hollywood glamour and luxury. The figures are exclusively celebrities, photographed in luxurious surroundings, often around a swimming-pool, in their own home. He constructed his career by only photographing "attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places." In 2002, he proclaimed to The Independent newspaper: "I knew everyone, they invited me to their parties as they knew that I would not cause them any harm. I was one of them". Aarons was known for the positive portrayals he gave to the people he photographed and was invited to high-society gatherings for exactly this reason. Though upholding this glamorous image of wealth, power, talent and beauty, he saw himself as a journalist whose duty it was to inform, and this led him to develop the environmental portrait – photographs of his subjects at home, at work, at play and mingling with each other. This type of portrait has influenced a generation of photojournalists whose work can be seen in today's lifestyle magazines.
Aarons photographs appeared in many magazines, including Life, Holiday, Town & Country, Look, Venture, and Travel & Leisure. Having taken an iconic portrait of Ann Getty, in 1997 he left his massive collection to the Getty Foundation. Slim Aarons died on May 29th 2006, but his art will keep the spirit and beauty of the rich and famous of the 20th century.

You sometimes don't know how much you're appreciated until you're no longer there.
Take Aaron Murray, for example. Despite all those impressive numbers No. 11 has wracked up over the past four years, a lot of college football observers outside the Bulldog Nation have tended to take him for granted. Good, solid quarterback, they'd grant, but he only ever danced around the edges of Heisman conversations.
However, now that his final season playing for Georgia has ended prematurely, these folks are coming out of the woodwork to hail Murray's importance to the Bulldog attack, reminisce about his ownership of rival Georgia Tech, and to declare that without him playing behind center UGA will be hard-pressed to continue its dominance over the Jackets Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Some Vegas pointsmakers took as much as a touchdown off the projected point spread for this game in the wake of Murray's injury.
Now, I'm as ardent a Murray supporter as you'll find, but I also know three things about Georgia's offense that should allow it to overcome his absence:
None of that is to say I don't have concerns about Saturday's matchup. Under Ted Roof, the Jackets' defense is markedly improved over the past couple of seasons. They're 10th in the nation in rush defense, 17th in total defense and 24th in scoring defense. Still, against the four best teams they've faced, the improvement has pretty much vanished. Hence their four losses.
Of course, as always, I also wonder just how well Todd Grantham's defense will do against Tech's triple-option offense and its annoying (and frequently borderline legal) cut blocks. Georgia's been pretty stout against the run this season, ranking third in the SEC in that category, but I worry a bit about the secondary being caught out of position (as on Kentucky's long TD run last week) or allowing the Jackets to suddenly catch them sleeping with a long pass play. Basically, it's going to come down to just how disciplined the Dogs' defenders remain, and whether Grantham calls an aggressive game that disrupts Tech's option plays.
And then there's always the elephant in the room when you talk about the 2013 Georgia Bulldogs: special teams disasters. Avoiding those is a big key to a UGA win.
Lastly, AJC columnist Jeff Schultz keeps saying he doesn't think the Georgia players are going to be up for this game, the first in three years where they're already out of contention for the SEC title. I think he's wrong, simply because it's Georgia vs. Georgia Tech and the Bulldog players get told all year long how important that game is. Plus, these programs genuinely don't like each other. But I'll grant that if the Dogs come out flat for this one it certainly could make wrecking Tech a much more difficult task.
So, yes, Georgia enters this year's battle for the Governor's Cup without its biggest team leader. But, barring any more unforeseen disasters, I think the Dogs still should be able to prevail. Again.
It's the natural order of the universe, after all.
Now, let's take a dip into this week's holiday-abbreviated Junkyard Mail. …
Jim P. writes: Bill, Do you think Tech and others will try to blitz more often on a new UGA quarterback? And will Coach Bobo go more conservative and heavy on the run game, with a new QB? Or allow Mason to sling it more? Whatever works for the Dawgs is fine with me, but I sure am liking those passes to Gurley lately. Remember when Coach Dooley started passing the ball to Herschel? It was few and far between, but still ingenious back then.
I'm sure Tech's defense will try to ratchet up the pressure on Mason, and there's always the chance that Georgia's offensive line will have one of its off days. But Mason reads the field pretty well and pretty quickly, so he should be able to get rid of the ball. And he does have Gurley in the backfield with him. Also, Bobo still had Mason throwing a lot against Kentucky and I'd be very surprised if that's not the case against Tech. Like I said above, I think Mason should be fine.
Rockmart Dawg writes: Bill, what was up with playing Dallas Lee at center so much in the second half against Kentucky? Was David Andrews hurt? Those high snaps Lee was giving Hutson Mason were really scary. That's exactly what we don't need against the Nerds.
Mark Richt said on this week's "Bulldog Hotline" that the coaching staff just decided to make a substitution and give Lee some snaps at center since he's the backup at that position. Andrews is still the starting center.
Chris Houck writes: Bill, if Florida parts ways with [Will] Muschamp, do you think Georgia would make a run at him as D-coordinator? Who knows whether Muschamp would have any interest. As with most fans I haven't been satisfied with the product Grantham is putting on the field but I don't think you fire him unless you can truly make an upgrade. Muschamp would be a considerable upgrade in my opinion. Either way I think our D will be much better next year; if we can somehow get the D to elite level, i.e. top 15, I think the sky's the limit for the Dawgs next season (barring injuries of course).
I'm not crazy about Grantham's work, either, but I don't see a change coming this season. And, as Richt noted this week, it doesn't sound like Muschamp is going to be available anyway. The former Georgia player was a pretty successful defensive coordinator in his stints at LSU, Auburn and Texas, and he may well wind up back in a job like that if he gets fired as head coach at Florida, but it's looking like that's at least a season away.
And, finally, Jerry Jackson writes: Bill, I was really disappointed to see the Dawgs not come out in black jerseys for the final home game, as even Hondo on the pre-game show seemed to expect. I guess they really didn't bother to order any this year. Seems like somebody at Butts-Mehre really dropped the ball on this one. It was the perfect opportunity to reintroduce those snazzy black jerseys without all the hype of a major game. Your thoughts?
I agree, Jerry, and Richt actually apologized for the lack of black jerseys on his radio show this week and said they should have done that. As for the proposal that's grown in popularity over the past couple of years about making black jerseys the norm at the final home game each year, in honor of Senior Day/Night, the UGA head coach said, "I think that's a great idea. I think that's something we should consider." Richt even went so far as to declare he likes the black jerseys so much that maybe Georgia ought to consider wearing them for any night home game. As he put it: "red in the afternoon, black at night." It'll be interesting to see whether any of this comes to pass.
That's it for this week. Hope to see a lot more red than yellow in the stands Saturday.
Go Dogs! Wreck Tech!

don't expect a blowout vs Tech this years version of the Dawgs has a propensity for having games go down to the wire, but Ga wins
November 29th, 2013
11:22 am
Wow, a first without even trying. Thanks for all of your work this year Bill. It is appreciated. Any opinion on who's next after Mason? I'm figuring Ramsey but it,s a long way to 2015
November 29th, 2013
11:38 am
Great article Bill Happy Holidays to you and your family, I agree a quick start for the Dogs will take a ton of pressure off of Mason. Starting is not the same as coming off the bench in a blow out, but I think the young man is ready. Love the idea of black jerseys for home games at night too !
November 29th, 2013
11:43 am
Mason hasn't been tested yet but so far he's looked good. There may be a drop off in production compared to AM thus better hope the porous D doesn't allow tech to run wild as it did against GA in Johnson's first year as HC. Another disaster like that one will certainly require GA's O to make every series count. It's pretty much an even matchup this year considering our injuries and worries w/ST and CTG's D. Hope the dawgs come out swinging. It'll be a downer if Bobo doesn't. Why these coaches never seem to learn from experience is mind boggling. Hope the dawgs come out on top and no team suffers major injuries.
November 29th, 2013
12:02 pm
Ga. should beat Tech, but they should have beaten Climpson, Mizzou, Vandy and Allbarn. Gotta start fast and keep their foot on Tech's throat. I wouldn't object to another "I run this state" game. I don't care about stats, I don't think Tech can stop the run, as long as Bobo varies the running game and allows Mason to check off when Tech stacks 8 or 9 in the box.
November 29th, 2013
12:06 pm
Great column Bill! I totally agree. I hope UGA comes out fast and doesnt let off the pedal!!
November 29th, 2013
12:07 pm
Nothing should derail a team facing Georgia Tech. I'm surprised that a state with a population of 10 million can't field two quality FBS football teams.
South Carolina and Alabama both have populations under 5 million, yet they manage to do it.
Georgia vs. Tech is on par with Alabama vs. UAB or Auburn vs. Troy.
November 29th, 2013
12:07 pm
If UGA gets up 14-0, 17-0 it's game over. Like Bill King states "Tech isn't built to play catch up" and they aren't. Because they are a running team. Running eats up clock. If we get a big lead, then they'll have to pass to get back in it and they aren't a good passing team. I expect UGA to try and start fast to get a big lead. Hope to get the ball first
November 29th, 2013
12:35 pm
I think you are right, Bill. tech will have a lot of trouble stopping Gurley and Mason can throw the ball just fine and knows the system. I am looking forward to seeing him play with a week of practice as "the starter" for the first time in his career.
We certainly have to be worried about our defense against any opponent, but I like the fact that tech doesn't have much of a passing game. We might be able to get off the field on some 3rd downs because of that and while I expect tech to gain a lot of yards, I'm hoping they result in field goals instead of touchdowns and they can't keep pace with our offense.
November 29th, 2013
12:40 pm
OK, totally off topic, but given how poor the defense has played this year, especially in the secondary… should the coaches have moved Mitchell to cornerback last Spring or at the start of Fall practice?
I know that he got hurt after the first series of the first game, so it would have made no difference, but from a pure decision making standpoint, did it make sense to go into the season stacked at WR while the defensive backfield struggled so mightily with a potential answer for that weakness playing defense?
I understand that he was moved back and forth and maybe he wouldn't have wanted to move back to CB despite the fact we really needed him. I'm just wonderingt was this a good pre-season decision by the staff now that we can see how vulnerable UGA was to the pass this year?
November 29th, 2013
1:44 pm
It's all about winning the battle in the trenches in this one….if we do that we should blow tech out! But I am nervous about this game. We are 1-3 on the road. Not very good at all.
November 29th, 2013
1:47 pm
If the D stays in position to stop the triple then I do not see the Jackets winning this game. The Dawgs will score. Pull out the flyswatter and swat the bugs. Stop the run.
November 29th, 2013
1:49 pm
As long as Gurley is healthy it's a Georgia win. It did not matter whether it was Belue or Lastinger in Hershel's day, they were a great team either way. I know Tech is supposed to have a good run defense, but now that Gurley is getting back to normal he will "will" his way through Tech's D, you will see. It will be a sight to behold!
November 29th, 2013
1:56 pm
I was at UGA when Herschel was playing. I have watched all the running backs, some truly great, since #34 left the hallowed hedges of Sanford. I think Todd Gurley is the best back I have seen, when healthy, since Herschel. He will run this state.
November 29th, 2013
2:24 pm
@ Wo Fat, I agree Gurley is the best since Hershel, but Rodney Hampton was a beast in his time as well. Until Gurley, I thought he was the best all around back since #34
November 29th, 2013
2:40 pm
Think Ramsey has away to go never threw much in high school and couldn't lead his talent loaded very far I the high school playoffs last year,think he is ad good athlete that doesn't bring much to the QB position
November 29th, 2013
3:26 pm
We need to beat Tech this year because I don't see us beating a lot of teams next year. I foresee some dark days ahead with a new QB, new O-line, same sorry defense and the same sorry coaches. I think we're going to stink it up pretty bad next year.
Hope I'm wrong, but I doubt I will be.
November 29th, 2013

dawgfan reminds me of the lady on the commercial complaining about winning the $15MM lottery. "We'll have to cancel the cable." Give me a break.

UGA always seemed to do a pretty good job against Muschamp's defense at Auburn so who would want him?
November 29th, 2013

Grantham's defense is an enigma. It should be better than it is. As for mustcamp, why trade one egomaniac for another one.

What lottery has UGA football won under Richt?
November 29th, 2013
6:09 pm
"Nothing should derail a team facing Georgia Tech. I'm surprised that a state with a population of 10 million can't field two quality FBS football teams."
The reason is that Georgia Tech is a highly technical school that teaches engineering, mathematics, and science. The academic admission standards are light-years higher than at UGA. Tech simply can't even consider the morons and illiterates that UGA routinely brings in as "Special Admits."
November 29th, 2013
6:41 pm
….math and science? The football team is on the "M-train", management. No engineering for those fellows!
November 29th, 2013
7:11 pm
Tech seems to get good athletes for basketball and baseball but not football. Are the requirements different for the basketball and baseball players?
November 29th, 2013
7:14 pm
I guess if you think a "Survey of Calculus" is actually real calculus then you might actually buy the absolute BS that THE Alameda Aerie was shoveling in that post.
Tech fans are a joke.
November 29th, 2013
7:16 pm
No rough rider. The only different requirements are the level of BS and lies that Tech fans have to make up to excuse their poor performance on the field. The more games they lose the more important their academics become. It's always been like that with these clowns.
Tech fans are a disgrace.
November 29th, 2013

Just wasted 5 minutes of my life checking out Stingtalk.com. What an absolute embarrassment to the human race that website is. My God.

I always thought that the Dawgs should wear their Black jerseys during road games where the home team prefers to wear their white jerseys, such as LSU and Tech..I like them and would love to see them every now and then but no blackouts for big games…
November 29th, 2013

No kidding. Murray was the reason your defense was giving up points. And of course the backup quarterback is better!

Interesting to see if Park can come in, redshirt and learn quick enough to start in 2015. Or does B. Ramsey have it all click for him by then. Coaches say he has the talent. But still hasn't grasped Georgia's pro-system yet. And who knows what top ranked, 2014 high school senior qb will come in following class. Either way, all the above better get it together quickly. 2015 will be here fast. And let's hope we won't need them to play in 2014.

In a way, and this sounds like I am not a true fan, it is too bad that even CTG's defense will look good against Tech………..and will in turn bring him back at least for next year. I'm a dawg through and through, but it would take Shakespeare a barrell of ink, 39 quill pens, and a long long time to write about how terrible our defense has been. We are lost, nobody knows their job, at least not all 11 on the field at the same time, and we are headed towards the bottom of the SEC. It is time to play real defense….lets go get a real d-coordinator. CTG could not stop folks when he had NFL starters at UGA. When the team suffered devastating injuries this year, the D did not step up and say "We got this!" How could thay? They were to busy thinking about 500 different things before the ball was snapped, thus ensuring they would be out of position, lost, and missing tackles as it took too long to figure out the chess move. Even the casual fan has got to see that CTG's d is not working……it may do great somewhere else, but it is not working here!

"The invites are very nice, but the envelopes are WAY too big. I'm trying to find envelopes better suited to the size of the card stock."
"These cards came out gorgeous. The only thing we changed were the (gray color stripes) to a light green color. The pink and green really work great together and perfectly go with our "Kate Spade" theme."
"This was a very pretty and fun card, however I did not like the envelopes not being the same size nor color, that did not look professional to me. The card is an ivory/ecru color and envelopes were white; also even a pkg of cards/envelopes you buy @ walmart fits. That was my only disappointment."
"The card is beautiful. The stock is substantial with a very nice coating on it. This is my second purchase, and we were extremely happy with both purchases. Keep up the good work."
"Some of the other reviews cited a poor quality paper, but this was not true for me. Very nice quality card, especially at this price compared to some other options."

If David Lynch produced an episode of American Idol in 1973, it would probably look a little something like The xx's creepy "Sunset" remix video. And I mean that as a compliment. Pieced together from old talent show footage, the compulsively watchable six-minute opus is the perfact match for Jamie xx's eerie interpretation of the band's already unsettling Coexist highlight. It's odd and disturbing but strangely beautiful and ultimately poetic. Just like the song.
Who is this woman? I'd like to think she went on to have a stellar career as a Solid Gold dancer. If you have any info on her hopefully magnificent destiny, let us know in the comments below.

The Professional Practice Department supports the duty and objectives of the College through its work related to professional and ethical standards, ongoing education and communication with members and the public about how the College serves and protects the public interest.
The Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice communicate the scope and nature of the early childhood education profession. These standards convey certain expectations for which it is reasonable to hold members of the profession accountable. They also express a common set of ideals and aspirations for members of the College, regardless of the early childhood education setting in which they may practise.
The Code of Ethics reflects a core set of beliefs and values of care, respect, trust and integrity. These beliefs and values are fundamental to members of the profession and guide their conduct.
Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice
Find out more about the Continuous Professional Learning Program.
The College is pleased to announce the publication of four case studies describing real experiences in the professional practice of early childhood educators. These cases were written by registered members of the College.
Case Study 1: Sarah's Confusing Behaviour
Case Study 2: Accepting the Consequences
Case Study 3: Getting Bumps and Taking Lumps
Case Study 4: No Qualified Staff
The case studies may be used by members as a source for reflection and dialogue about the practice of early childhood educators within the framework of the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice. The cases highlight the dilemmas and emotional tension associated with professional decision-making and action. Analyzing a case encourages College members to examine problem-focused issues from a variety of perspectives and to explore the implications of a range of decision-making options or solutions.Members are encouraged to read and discuss cases as a shared professional learning experience with colleagues and as a way to gain an enhanced understanding of their practice and their broader professional community. The College encourages digital or hard copy reproduction of these publications providing full acknowledgement is given.We welcome your questions and feedback! Please contact the College at email@example.com for more information or to share your thoughts with us.

If you enjoy Hugh Dennis' laid-back approach and the light-hearted tone to his voice, then this is the audiobook for you. You will learn a lot of surprising information about Britain and its people through history, and the present day. The clearly defined subjects for each chapter mean you can dip in and out if you so wish. I would recommend this book to anyone.
As always, David Sedaris is wonderfully entertaining and reads his work so effectively.
Some of the short essays have appeared in other anthologies of his work but it is well worth revisiting them.
If you have read David Sedaris before, then you will enjoy the witty sense of humour and out of the ordinary subject matter - his take on the world is always entertaining. If you have listened to his live recordings on e.g. Radio 4 - his reading style on these audiobooks is not as lively, but still amusing.
Would recommend.

You're going to start thinking I'm sponsored by Nutella soon. I wish! I just love seeing really really easy recipes and as I don't have much time to bake, when I do see something I want to make, I grasp the opportunity as quickly as possible. I wasn't planning to do any baking at all yesterday. I know it was father's day and maybe my husband deserved a cake for being such a good dad to our little girl, but the thought of making a cake had not crossed my mind until suddenly, looking on Facebook I saw a recipe that a friend had shared – 3 ingredient Nutella Brownies. I love Nutella and I do love brownies. And I could not believe how easy this recipe looked. Despite having cheesecake in the fridge already, I could not resist making this cake.
So did it live up to expectations? Well, it wasn't quite a brownie but it did taste like one. It was a bit drier than I'd have liked but that may have been my fault as I could have taken it out of the oven a little earlier. I'd say, if you were expecting brownies, you would be a little disappointed, but if you were expecting a chocolate cake, you'd be perfectly happy. I would like to make it again and next time I will take it out of the oven earlier and hopefully have a more brownie-like cake.
I am linking this to Sugar and Slice Sunday.
Ingredients – serves 8
250g Nutella
62g self-raising flour
2 eggs
How to Make Nutella Brownies
1. Mix all the ingredients together.
2. Line a tin with baking parchment and grease the sides. Pour the mixture in.
3. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes at 180C. This will give you a cake-like texture. Next time I will cook it for just 20 minutes.

If I ever run for political office I will be using this video ad nausiem. It literally gives me chill bumps — miniseries opening titles shouldn't do that, it isn't natural; expertly crafted.
(Source: thehipsterkids)
oh man. it's etymology and linguistics like this that get my philosophy juices flowing.
What is duende? What does it convey? Can it convey anything outside of the context in which it is used? Is it a referent or just an end unto itself?
According to some if you don't understand something 101% you need to get attacked. You have to know all the terminology, all the statistics, all of the correct history or you're a complete dumbass. You won't even be intentionally trying to upset someone but if you do then you're…
If you want respect, don't look for it on the internet — have conversations with people face to face. The internet is a faceless void of personae and opinions, none of which I would argue are strictly-speaking "human". We have created new personalities on the internet, ones that are faceless and unfiltered representations of our thoughts. Without faces, people aren't perceived as human, and when they aren't perceived as human they are not treated as such and perhaps cannot be treated as such. Our humanness is in our being, or body, and our faces. When you sign on to the internet you give up this right, for better or for worse.
In the light of these mid-east uprisings we need to ask ourselves one very important question: Do we support these people or do we support a philosophical principle? Because Democracy is not God's government, but these people are God's children. Look past their cause and see their faces.
One photo. One million words.
Stand in solidarity with Yemen, Libya, Bahrain, Iran and the rest of the middle east!
The people are SPEAKING!
I don't know all the factors behind what's been going on in Yemen, Libya, Bahrain, Iran or the rest of the Middle East. I don't know the history behind the regimes, or every oppressive law, I don't know what caused the spark, or why won't anyone pay attention. I don't know. What I do know is that when I see pictures of real human beings suffering at the hands of an individual or government officials I start to feel sick. I feel sick because people are being massacred, people are being shot at by their military, people are suffering, people are dying. All these human beings would rather die than live their lives without change. I don't need to know all the details to know what they're fighting for is real. I stand in support of the Middle East.
But what does it even mean to stand? My heart breaks but is that enough? I tell my friends, but they don't care enough. I tell my family, but they don't care enough. If I could scream this to the nation, and show them the images that I've seen, let them hear the voices, let them see the atrocities, would they care? Or would they turn the other way? I'm mad about what's going on. I'm mad that no one cares. I'm mad because I feel like I don't care enough. I feel useless. I feel like I'm standing on the sidelines watching the protests instead of getting in the streets.
I don't like this feeling, perhaps maybe because its the truth. Innocent men, women and children are being slaughtered for their desire for democracy. What am I doing? What can I do? As I wake up in my own bed, and sleep at night without the threat of danger I know there are people who are witnessing their loved ones brutally murdered. How do I stop the rage, rage towards others, and rage towards myself? Do I just become neutral, stagnant, partially indifferent? How can I go about the things on my to-do list?
How do I love people I've never met and still be able to function?

Apache Re-Loaded for Growth
Kirk is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Energy patch divestitures, mergers and acquisitions have picked up recently as companies strategically position their core businesses for further developing resource scarcity. Among the most active companies has been Apache Corporation (NYSE: APA) which spent about $15 billion to acquire several major productive assets among other strategic acquisitions.
Apache is one of America's leading mid-major oil and gas exploration and production companies with global operations. It's business model has historically included buying assets that other companies did not find core to their operations or when other companies needed capital. During the later part of the last decade the company had greatly slowed acquisitions as it exploited other assets and adjusted to the post financial crisis environment.
Among its major recent asset purchases was a $7 billion deal with BP (NYSE: BP) for acreage and infrastructure in the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico, as well as, in Egypt, and upstream natural gas assets in Alberta and British Columbia. The purchase was made at a perceived discount as BP undertook a massive reorganization in the wake of the Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon spill. The two major portions of the BP acquisition added over 260 million barrels of oil equivalent.
Apache also made two major moves to enhance its position in the Gulf of Mexico. First it spent a cool 1.1 billion dollars to acquire Devon Energy's (NYSE: DVN) shelf assets which Devon considered non-core to its operations as it heavily shifted to horizontal drilling activities instead. The former Devon Gulf of Mexico shelf assets adds nearly 84 million boe proven and was accretive to Apache earnings in the first year. Then, Apache completed a $4.3 billion merger with Mariner Energy which added substantial capacity to its Gulf operations. Combined, Apache has become a Gulf of Mexico leader just as drilling permits have begun to be issued again.
Recently, Apache also acquired Cordillera Energy Partners for $2.3 billion. This deal added about 72 million boe in the Anadarko Basin of Texas and Oklahoma which has been increasingly profitable for producers. While integration risk is always a hurdle, Apache has been successfully acquiring and exploiting assets for a long time. The Cordillera acreage is in close proximity to other Apache acreage and it is expected that efficiencies of scale will develop.
Apache has significant other assets, including a 40% share of the Kitimat facility in Canada which is being developed to ship LNG across the Pacific, assets in Western Australia in the Carnarvon basin, the North Sea including Beryl which it acquired from Exxon, Egypt and Argentina. While the assets in the U.S., Canada, Australia and U.K. are all considered extremely safe, political risks in Argentina and Egypt have increased and should be monitored. As a group, the diversified asset base of Apache offers both growth potential and a margin of safety in case it should have to raise its own capital at some point.
Over the five quarters prior to the Cordillera acquisition, Apache steadily increased production and reduced debt. Its balance sheet is strong relative to many of its competitors with free cash flow of over $2 billion per year available to service net debts of about $7 billion. Presuming no negative surprises, I would expect Apache to continue to reduce debt on a consistent basis and then potentially use its financial flexibility to buy other assets, as has been its pattern.
After a recent share price decline, Apache currently has a price to earnings ratio of about 8 and forward P/E of 6.5. With industry peers trading at an average current P/E in the upper teens, Apache seems inexpensive relative to its peers. The company is also trading with below industry price to book, price to sales and price to cash flow ratios.
The company's recent growth rates have been negative as it has brought its recent spat of acquisitions on line. Again, if history is a guide (and no guarantee), Apache would appear to be ready to hit the growth trail again, as it exploits its conquests, first with its Texas assets. If you are looking for a fairly valued or undervalued diversified investment in the energy sector, Apache could be your next long-term holding.

With the sun shining and deer quietly nestled on patches of lawn at the wooded, tranquil NASA-JPL complex in the foothills near Pasadena, it's easy to forget that some of the world's most advanced research is being conducted—right here in our own back yard—on how to counteract the dark threat brought on by global warming. But that's exactly the reason that Hollywood, Health & Society took more than 35 film and TV writers and producers on an exclusive, behind-the-scenes Storybus Tour to the sprawling campus: to learn about climate change and mitigation efforts—a few of them positively sci-fi-esque—from the scientists and engineers working on the front lines to address the crisis.

Residents in East and South Los Angeles are shaking up the food landscape in their neighborhoods, using innovative solutions to change their eating habits and tackle the challenge of getting more fresh, affordable and healthy food into communities.

On a recent Storybus Tour organized by Hollywood, Health & Society called "Hunger Games," writers and producers were given a first-hand look at the activists, community groups, public health professionals and students who are fighting back.

A 1946 building sat vacant on Eleven Mile in Berkley for several years. Now the former tool and die shop is home to PM Environmental, an environmental risk management firm that evaluates commercial properties."First we look at the historical use of the property to see if there's reason to believe it's contaminated," says founder and CEO Mike Kulka.Then he says they drill holes and collect soil samples for testing. They underwent the process themselves when they developed their own office in 2008 with the help of brownfield incentives, which made the project more affordable."Anything that we spent on renovating the building from new phones to windows to the roof, carpet, computers, even equipment that we use in our business, was eligible for a twelve-and-a-half percent Michigan Business Tax credit," Kulka says.Now there is another construction project underway to convert the warehouse portion of the building to two stories with offices upstairs by adapting and reusing what is already there.Kulka says Michigan is a hot spot for this kind of redevelopment, and that's good news for everyone."There's a lot of businesses that are expanding here. The companies that made it through the Great Recession are stronger than ever. They're expanding. People want to do business here, and we're definitely in the right direction," Kulka says.The company plans to hire ten new workers in the next 18 months. They have 16 locations across the country, and they're also opening a brand new Detroit office on Woodward Avenue this summer.

Unit Study: Wake Up and Learn About Hibernation!
- Wednesday, February 16, 2005
Another future use of the research done by some biologists suggests the use of hibernation imposed on astronauts to conserve food and oxygen during space travel. Write a space story about astronauts hibernating.
Effects of Hibernation:
Make bar graphs or other charts showing the body temperature, heart rate changes and sleep/wake patterns found in hibernating animals.
Make a calendar showing the months that certain animals, birds, amphibians and insects hibernate. Show the types of weather in each season and thus show why each animal would be hibernating then. Decorate your calendar with animal pictures and natural scenery.
Biologists have attached radio beepers to collars on bear's necks and followed them, studying their habits during cold weather. What have they learned? How can this knowledge help animal control officers and animal preservationists control the population of bears and help preserve their numbers? What have scientists learned of the birth and early months of bear's lives? Why do you think bears are born twins, and why are they born during the winter?
What the Bible Says:
What verses can you find that refer to sleep and hibernation? Copy five passages about sleeping into your book. Find a verse that says God does not slumber. Find one that says we should sleep and that God gives us rest. How important is good rest to your overall health? Can you find any verses about sleep that are referring to being lazy? Look in Proverbs. Sometimes in the Bible death is referred to as sleep. Why? Read 1 Corinthians 15:51-56. What is the "Great Mystery" spoken of here? The book of I Thessalonians (4:13-15) talks about persons who have died and will be raised again when Christ returns. This "sleeping" until Christ returns refers to physical death.
Books for Further Reading:
- My favorite book about hibernation is Do Not Disturb By Margery Facklam. It was published in 1989 by Little, Brown and Company
- Fun with Nature Take-Along Guide by Northword Press, 1999
- Handbook of Nature Study by Anna Botsford Comstock
Search for five other books to read on the subject. List these in your notebook. Write a sentence or two after each title describing the teachings of each book.
Vocabulary Enrichment:
Define these words in your notebook. Learn the definitions and spellings of each word. Add to the list any new words you come across in your reading.
- Aestivate
- Hibernate
- Hibernacle
- Hibernaculum
- Estivate
- Biology
- Dormant
- Hypothalamus
- Diurnal
- Thermostat
- Circadian rhythm
- Amphibian
- Predictive
- Consequential
- Diapause
- Obligatory
- Poikilothermic
- Torpor
Choose an animal to study fully. Collect pictures from magazines and place them in your notebook. Research fully the habits of the animal. Is it a hibernator? How do we know? What type of hibernation does it use? What are its habits? Add this report to your binder.
Hibernation is an amazing process. Our Creator built into His creatures the abilities and physical characteristics that would help animals and humans live healthy, productive lives on the earth. Many attribute the lifesaving instincts and miraculous attributes of animals to someone they call "Mother Nature". This is a false teaching that has become almost universally accepted in our modern society. The book of Job can help you better understand who God is and how, as the song says, "He's got the whole world in His hands."

Ted's Review said:
This is the second book I've read by Ferraris. It's another glipse into a world that is both mysterious and alien to most Americans. As a murder mystery, the book is engaging, but it's more about the cultural mysteries of life in Saudi Arabia. I recommend this book and give it a B plus.
