The Pananole is passing through a period of changes, seeking to improve itself as the online news-teller in FSU-Panama.
When Dr. Murphy first told me that I would be News Editor, a feeling of insecurity came over me, and I thought to myself: how would I, a student with no experience in edition and poor grammar, take over The Pananole? But then he told me that there would be a group of 3 editors instead of the regular single News Editor, and that took a lot of weight off my back.
However we are only tree students trying to put up an issue, study and have social life. Out of personal experience I can tell you it is quite hard to keep up these three activities at the same time. However, we made it... We delivered the issue, studied and tried to keep up with our regular lives; but we did not accomplish this by ourselves but with the help of a great team of student writers and the support of Dr. Murphy.
As the News Editor I want to express what Pananole means to me. The Pananole is a good idea that, like a seed, plants itself in the ground and flourishes into a plant making the soil a richer place. The Pananole enriches the minds of students, flourishing and giving rise to bigger and better ideas which complement the education they, the students, are receiving.
It is with great pleasure that the Editorial Team of The Pananole presents you our first issue for the Fall semester 2004.

There are many different types of dermatitis. The most common form in childhood is atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema, which is an inflammatory skin condition.
Atopic eczema is caused by a skin dysfunction in which the skin barrier is unable to be repaired properly when it is damaged. It is a genetic problem, which results in the skin of susceptible people having a lower than optimal content of water and oil . Consequently it becomes dry, scaly and easily irritated.
Since the skin barrier doesn't operate effectively, allergens are able to penetrate the skin surface and trigger the immune system, making the affected skin red and itchy. Scratching exacerbates the situation and increases the inflammation, and may also allow infection to occur. The infectious organism involved is usually Staphylococcus aureus.

Hi Marj,I'm sorry to hear about your grand-daughter's discomfort. As mentioned in the article above, she is at greater risk of infection while her toes are already cracked and have peeling skin. Vitamin E creams or herbal ointments containing calendula may assist the healing process, but it is important that the cause of this symptom is determined and addressed. This could be allergy-related, it could be a deficiency in essential fatty acids, or hereditary. If this is the only area of her body which is affected, it may even be caused by a fungal infection such as 'Athlete's foot'. In that case, topical application of tea tree cream or bathing the toes in tea tree oil may help useful. Please feel free to call the Blackmores Advisory line on 1800 803 760 to discuss this further with a naturopath.All the best, Leanne (a Blackmores naturopath)

Hi, This sounds very distressing, I can understand your discomfort. I recommend that you contact a Naturopath to discuss other options for treatment, in addition to your current treatment. You may also like to consider eating more foods rich in essential fatty acids, such as fish, raw nuts and seeds, vegetable oil, avocado etc. Zinc can also be very helpful, found in nuts and seeds, red meat and oysters and seafood. Try and keep your diet full of lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, with plenty of purified water. There are lots of great suggestions in the article above. I hope this is helpful, and you are recovering soon.Thanks, Danielle, one of the Blackmores Naturopaths

Dancing Creek Farm is a wonderful place to board a dog when you have to be away. Tamara treats our English Setter, Sadie, the same way she treats her own dogs, and we can go out of town with full confidence that Sadie is being cared for the same way we care for her.Until we found Tamara we boarded Sadie at the vetâs. After the first time boarding her with the vet, not only did she not want to go back when we left town, she still has trouble getting herself out of the car when we have to go to get check-ups and shots. The people at the vet are excellent and the boarding is acceptable, but with the choice of leaving her there, where she stays most of the time in a crate or leaving her with Tamara where she can run with other dogs and enjoy the air-conditioned dog house (with TV and futon), there is no question which we choose.We call the kennel âdoggie camp,â and Sadie gets all excited when we head up the road to Tamaraâs house. And when she sees Tamara, it is all we can do to hold her on the leash. This is truly a wonderful place to board dogs at the same rate our vet charges. Tamaraâs love for animals and her concern for the welfare of her boarders is wonderful. Itâs a great facility run by a great animal lover. We greatly appreciate the services she offers.

"Princess" our little Sheltie, is so happy that we have found Dancing Creek Farm. When we ask her if she wants to go to "The Farm," she's ready to get in the car. For many years, Princess was a therapy dog and visited nursing homes and pre-schools. Although she loved all the attention and everyone loved her, there came a time when she was too old and "ailing" and we took her out of the therapy program. She was so sad when we had to board her; she just wasn't accustomed to being all alone in a cage. With Tamara and the Dancing Creek Farm, she blossoms into the loving, friendly little girl she was when she visited everyone. Princess is a "people dog" and gets treated as a person at THE DANCING CREEK FARM! We really appreciate Tamara and her crew.

I dropped Sparky off at another boarding facility. When I picked him up they had him in a kennel outside with no air conditioning. He's an indoor dog and not use to the heat. It was august and 90 degrees outside! Never again.I've taken Sparky to the farm three times now and each time he jumps up and down as soon as we turn down the drive. He loves it there and it's such a wonderful place. It's has air conditioning, hammocks for the dogs and there were even little swimming pools. You can tell Tamara really loves animals and they love her too. Sparky runs right up to her which is something he rarely does. I'm happy I found this place and thrilled to leave a comment.

Karaoke for Kindergarten!
Christine Bartsch: The other day, my 4-year-old nephew Ian asked if he could read me a book. I thought meant he wanted me to read him a book, but Ian pulled a book off his shelf and started reading it to me. I was a bit surprised, but I figured it must be one of his favorites. He'd just memorized it well enough to seem like he was reading.
My sister said the book was new -- she hadn't even read it to him yet. Well, that floored me, but I was still doubtful Ian could really read already. Parents do like to brag about their kids, right?
However, my sister said she'd done nothing to try and teach him to read. One day, Ian just started reading books on his own.
Hmm. I was having a hard time believing he truly could. I was tempted to run down to the bookstore for some books I knew he'd never seen before, but then another thought struck me.
Karaoke. We switched it on and handed Ian the mic.
"We will, we will rock you!"
The verses went a little fast for him to completely keep up, but he was still able to sing the majority of a song he'd never heard before.
Wow. Ian really did teach himself how to read.
That got me thinking ... Kids love music. Karaoke requires reading. Why don't we have an educational form of karaoke in the lower grades as a fun way for kids to practice reading?
Do you think karaoke in kindergarten would help kids learn to read faster? What do you think?
It could help some children learn to read faster, but not others.
There is a standard age range for the ability to learn to read, just like with other developmental skills. It runs from ages 3 to 8. Some children just read earlier than others. If a kid isn't ready to learn to read, there's nothing you can really do to push that.
There are already several products and educational applications —look up Same-Language-Subtitling also commercial versions —Karaoke for Reading from Karry-a-toon.
I think so. Its sound like a great idea. My son is 2 and while he still insists on babbling during conversations when we are in the car and we have our music on he sings all the songs. We have noticed that over the past few months that he knows all the words and can sing them word for word. And his speech has gotten way better. We can understand more of what he is saying. I think music is a great motivation for children who enjoy it. Gives me a thought about starting karaoke.
You made some decent points there. I did a search on the issue and found most individuals will go along with with your site.
I'm still learning from you, but I'm trying to achieve my goals. I certainly liked reading all that is posted on your website.Keep the aarticles coming. I loved it
Wow! Thank you! I continually needed to write on my site something like that. Can I include a portion of your post to my site?
Hey! Are you going to be posting a follow up? My room mate and I actually enjoyed the read. We were both surprised how well you covered the topic. Way to go!

Richard graduated from the University of Houston obtaining a B.A. in Journalism then continued on to Boston University to receive a M.S. in Business Administration. After founding two video production companies in Dallas and Seattle and producing many nationwide video teleconferences, Richard went on to obtain a U.S.C.G Master of Steam or Motor Vessels License as well as a PADI Certified Open Water Diver license. From there Richard became a sailing instructor for Club Nautique as well as a Captain at Commodore Events.
Jude received a BA in Theater Arts at San Francisco State University and then continued on to the Neuro Linguistic Institute of California to receive her license as a Master Practitioner. She then helped start a non-profit theater company, working as a director and actress for a number of different plays. Jude has enjoyed the spontaneity of theater life and compares it to her life on the island. "We have a new season of fruits, vegetables, and people all the time, so I work to bring them all together to create an artistic, delicious and memorable time."
Please join us in welcoming them both.

The Campaign to Reform Immigration FOR America is Underway
June 04, 2009 - Posted by Ali Noorani
On June 1st, the Campaign to Reform Immigration FOR America launched in 44 cities and 20 states. Over 220 organizations have endorsed the Campaign so far—labor organizations, businesses, community organizations and faith-based organizations—all committed to helping fix the broken immigration system in a way that restores stability, order, and responsibility.
Today, nearly 800 organizers and leaders from faith, labor, business, and community groups in 41 states continue to meet in Washington in an immigration reform summit. What are they asking for?
They want to replace the chaos of illegal immigration with the control and regulation of an orderly system. They want minimum wage and labor standards to be effectively enforced, families to be reunited, all workers to be legal, and safer communities. They want an end to an era of immigration irresponsibility, an era in which the system has been so broken that rules are widely ignored.
The Campaign to Reform Immigration FOR America is based on three elements:
First of all, America voted for change and for leaders to tackle and solve tough problems. The broken immigration system is a symbol of Washington's inability to face tough problems. The Campaign is part of a resurgent "can-do" American spirit. It's time for leaders to tap in to that spirit and do what a majority of Americans want done—fix our immigration system.
Second, the Campaign has a plan that represents a departure from years of failed attempts to enforce the unenforceable laws of our broken immigration system. The Campaign has a plan that will work in the interests of the American people. It is a plan that will bring our immigration system under control once and for all; establish order at the border; focus law enforcement resources on criminals, not workers and parents; and generate billions in new tax revenues.
Third, and most importantly, fixing our immigration system will help fix our economy. With so many workers vulnerable to economic uncertainty, it is critical that minimum wage and labor standards are effectively enforced; that all workers are able to work legally; that all employers and workers are paying their fair share of taxes; and that bad actor employers who violate laws are targeted for enforcement. Legalizing workers will increase their wages, spending, and tax contributions, which will have benefits across the economy.
The organizers gathered in Washington today represent the core constituencies that will be engaged going forward—faith, labor, community, and business. Organizing these constituencies, along with local elected officials, law enforcement and others will be key to winning the 279 votes we need for comprehensive immigration reform: 218 Representatives, 60 Senators and one President.
By working together, we can end this era of profound immigration irresponsibility.

This was great! Everyone who I could convince to try it loved it :) I did think the topping was a little sweet (even without whipped topping). You could lessen the sugar if you wanted.
Harvest Pie

Yum! I don't typically like this type of dessert, but I loved this pie! The butternut squash in it is great, but when I'm low on time, I just substitute the same amount of canned pumpkin, and that comes out great, too. I'll be making it again this Thanksgiving!

Absolutely delicious!
ellentambo Posted: 11/30/09
This is a really great recipe. I cut the fat and calories even further by using phyllo dough instead of pie crust. I layered five sheets (spray with cooking spray and then sprinkle with mixture of cinnamon/sugar) and laid them in a tart pan (with removable bottom) and another five sheets and laid them perpendicular to the first set. Then filled with the filling. Also, I made the filling two days ahead of time and refrigerated it and then assembled the pie at the last minute. A big hit at Thanksgiving. Awesome!

This pie became the new holiday favorite this Thanksgiving. Some liked it warm, some cold, either way was great. Homemade pie crust makes it even better!
dezlorelle Posted: 01/18/12
This was the first time I ever made anything with butternut squash. It was absolutely delicious!

Fabulous alternative (or addition) to pumpkin pie at a Thanksgiving dinner!

Professional Division Winners
The competition winners have gone on to distinguished careers as soloists, chamber and orchestra musicians, and teachers. Here are some of their stories.
At the first competition in 1976, Steve Gross, a senior at the University of Michigan and member of the Flint Symphony, won first prize, and Ralph Lockwood of the Cleveland Orchestra placed second. Steve was given a check for $500 and both soloed with the Opus One Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Higgins.
The 1977 Competition was noted as much for its off-stage adventures as its musical excellence. The automobile driven by Lowell Greer, with fellow contestants R.J. Kelly, Rick Seraphinoff, and Richard Goldfaden as passengers, experienced a clogged fuel filter. Greer, who later won the contest, bravely siphoned gasoline into his automobile and arrived in time to participate. The Cleveland Plain Dealer reviewer, apparently aware of the escapade, titled the review "Horn Finalist Zooms to Finish" and noted the "high octane competition."
Greer has succeeded as an orchestral player, chamber musician, recording artist, soloist, educator, and horn maker. He played with the Detroit Symphony, the Mexico City Philharmonic, the Royal Flemish Orchestra, the Cincinnati Symphony, and the Toledo Symphony. As soloist, Greer has performed on natural and modern horn with some 50 orchestras as well as at numerous chamber music venues. His discography is extensive. He has taught at Wheaton College, Oakland University, Interlochen Arts Academy, School for Perfection in Mexico City, University of Cincinnati, University of Michigan, and the Carl Neilsen Academy in Odense. He has won seven first prizes at six international horn competitions.
David Reiswig (US Navy Band in Washington DC) won the 1978 Professional Division. He performed with the US Navy Band in Washington DC, Kansas City Philharmonic, Honolulu Symphony, Evansville Philharmonic, Owensboro Symphony, and Saint Louis Symphony. He taught at Murray State University, University of Nebraska, and University of Evansville. Sadly, he died in 2002 from early-onset Alzheimer's disease.
The 1978 Competition included a Natural Horn Division, won by Jean Rife. As part of the prize, she was given a McCracken natural horn. Rife, who teaches horn at MIT and New England Conservatory, is former principal horn with Boston Baroque and the Rhode Island Philharmonic, and has performed with Cantata Singers, the Boston Pops, Boston Ballet Orchestra, Boston Musica Viva, Alea III, and Dinosaur Annex.
In 1979, the Professional and Natural Horn divisions were joined by a Competition for Horn Quartet. Corbin Wagner, who joined the Detroit Symphony after completing his Bachelors degree, accomplished the unique feat of winning all three divisions! Wagner's winning quartet also included Jennifer Burch, Louis Stout, Jr., and Bryan Kennedy. Wagner also performs with the Detroit Chamber Winds and Strings and is adjunct professor at Oakland University.
The 1980 Heldenleben Competition at the College of William and Mary, near Williamsburg, was won by Gail Williams, who was a member of the Chicago Symphony (1978-1998). She teaches at Northwestern University, is principal horn of the Teton Music Festival Orchestra, and is a founding member of Summit Brass.
The highest award given in 1981 in the Professional Division was second prize, which went to Laura Klock, now horn professor at the University of Massachusetts, where she is a member of the Avanti Wind Quintet, Infinity Brass Quintet, and Springfield Symphony Orchestra.
The 1981 Natural Horn prize was awarded to Rick Seraphinoff, who teaches valve and natural horn at Indiana University. As a natural hornist, he has performed with virtually every Baroque and Classical orchestra in the US. He has appeared as soloist at the Aston Magna Festival, with the Vancouver CBC Orchestra, Bloomington Early Music Festival Orchestra, and with La Stagione and Ensemble Metamorphosis in Germany. He has written natural horn articles for the several journals, has appeared on numerous recordings, and is a maker of Baroque and Classical natural horns.
In the west, Kristen Thelander won the first American Horn Competition in 1981. Thelander has been horn professor at the University of Iowa and is now Director of the School of Music. She performs with the Iowa Woodwind Quintet and has recorded solo and chamber music extensively. She has served as an IHS Advisory Council member, Secretary-Treasurer, and Vice-President.
Jeffry Kirschen (a member of the Philadelphia Orchestra) won the 1983 competition. He has been a guest artist at numerous horn conferences, is an active recitalist, and performs with the Lenape Chamber Players, 1807 & Friends, and on the Philadelphia Orchestra Chamber Music Series. He teaches at Temple University, Rowan University, and the New York Summer School for the Arts.
In 1983 Lowell Greer and R.J. Kelley won the Double Concerto Division. Kelley plays Broadway shows and with the New York Philharmonic, NY City Opera, NY City Ballet, Mostly Mozart Festival Orchestra, Orchestra of St. Luke's, Orpheus, and Aspen Wind Quintet. With over 50 CDs to his credit, he has performed and recorded as guest artist of the Royal Court Theater Orchestra at Drottingholm, Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, Musica Antiqua St. Petersburg, Moscow Chamber Orchestra, CBC Vancouver, Korean Chamber Ensemble, and the Mexico City Philharmonic.
Lowell Greer won first prize again in the 1985 Professional Division and Javier Bonet Manrique won the Natural Horn Division. Bonet Manrique is active as a valve and natural horn soloist and chamber musician throughout Europe. He has recorded sonatas for the fortepiano with natural horn and his ensemble of natural horns, Corniloquio, has recorded two CDs.

He has served as a guest principal horn for the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Cincinnati Symphony, and the Grand Teton Festival Orchestra.

Cross-platform software installation
Neverending Story
A single uniform software installation tool for all distributions is still just a dream, but thanks to Listaller, this goal has come a little bit closer.
For some, package management under Linux is an absolute knockout compared with Windows. For newcomers, however, despite all the undeniable benefits of a consistent package database, the unfamiliar concept of software installation on Linux is often an insurmountable obstacle.
With at least three incompatible package formats or package management systems and the ability to build software from sources that can also have diverse archive formats, installing software can be formidable. Therefore, for years efforts have been made to spare beginners the details of the individual package formats and implement a kind of metapackage format along with a corresponding tool that would work under all distributions.

I have no reason to believe she's annoyed.
Weiner's communications director Barbara Morgan … went off on a curse-filled rant about [Olivia] Nuzzi, describing her as a fame hungry "bitch" who "sucked" at her job. Morgan also called Nuzzi a "slutbag," "twat," and "cunt" while threatening to sue her.
There was the time when he called his 20 interns into a cramped office, and boasted that if we told him our names and one fact about ourselves, he could correctly identify all of us. He went around the room, then went back to the first intern, and tried to remember her name.
"Monica," he said. No, it was Stephanie.
Then he called me "Monica." Wrong again.
He got the next three interns' names wrong, and then called the whole thing off.

Officials to Release Photos of Suspects in Boston Marathon Bombings
After days of combing through huge amounts of photographic and video evidence of Monday's bombings at the Boston Marathon, authorities have two clear video images of suspects that they plan to release to the public Thursday afternoon.
Conflicting Reports Regarding a Possible Arrest in Boston Bombings [UPDATED]
2:45 p.m. (EST): The Boston Police Department has announced that "there has not been an arrest in the Marathon attack." Investigations are ongoing.
2:35 p.m.: CNN is retracting their previous report that an arrest has been made in the Boston Marathon bombings. Other sources are reporting that officials are close to identifying a suspect after reviewing area surveillance video, but no arrests have been made.
Boston Marathon Explosions: How You Can Help
Three people were killed and more than 100 injured on Monday afternoon when two explosions went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Rescue organizations have gathered to help and at the the tragic scene, but how can you help?
The Huffington Post has put together a helpful list of ways:
Twin Explosions at Boston Marathon Finish Line [UPDATED]
9 p.m. (EST): The final press conference of the day with Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis and various other officials just concluded. The FBI is now leading investigations of the events. Davis confirmed that three people were killed in today's blasts.
CNN is reporting that one of the victims killed was an 8-year-old boy. The Wall Street Journal had reported that as many as five other unexploded devices were found around Boston, but investigators now doubt that they were actually bombs.

The 2011 Super Bowl has two classic teams -- the Green Bay Packers and the Pittsburgh Steelers -- meeting in one legendary setting. But tradition will be broken in this Bowl, and it may or may not upset you.
There won't be any cheerleaders. No cheerleaders! (But question: Aren't they more like dance squads, anyway? I don't see them doing any stunts.) The Packers and the Steelers are two of six teams in the NFL that do not have shiny, glittery, extremely fit women on their sidelines cheering them on.
"But, but, the pom poms!" you say. "The tradition! It's Dallas, for crying out loud, home of the most famous cheerleading squad in the world, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, and there's just going to be ... no one cheering?"
Hmm, I have a feeling we'll all be OK without the professionals, don't you?
Listen, I understand the appeal of cheerleaders and don't necessarily think the ... sport? ... is a bad one. For girls growing up who don't like contact sports but still want to be involved in school or community athletics, cheer and dance are great options. And they need someone to look up to.
But on the other hand, cheerleaders are objectified more than other female athletes and there's been plenty of controversy over uniforms and discrimination. Heck, there was even a murder when a Texas mom hired a hit man to kill the mother of her daughter's cheering competition.
Maybe NFL cheerleaders are becoming something of the past, maybe a little outdated. Maybe we won't miss the bare midriffs and heavy makeup. Maybe we've evolved past it.
But then, there's still the Lingerie Bowl, which will be aired on pay-per-view at halftime. So, then again, maybe not.
Will you miss the cheerleaders at Super Bowl 2011?
Photo via Nolan O'Brien/Flickr
Actually the Texas Cheerleading Murdering Mom was caught before it was done. I watched the tv movie on it. I knew someday hanging out with my Mom and watching tv would work out...
The Packers use the cheerleaders from the local high school to cheer at their home games. They do not dress like the professional cheerleaders, instead they wear outfits like high school and college teams wear.
I think they're just there for guys to ogle. That's it. They serve NO other purpose.
I don't think the cheerleaders are emaciated tramps, but, I am disappointed that the young men and women that cheered so hard for the packers, do not get to be a part of this big game. I think it's a damn shame. I have worked with one or two of them, and they are very bright, talented people.
Well, technically, the Packers DO have cheerleaders - only their cheerleaders are the cheerleading squad from UW-Green Bay. Therefore, the squad never travels with the Packers. Ever. The two Super Bowl appearances in the 90's? Nope, no cheerleaders then either. :-)

Europe: Dalkala goes long - real long - in the Group 1 Prix Royal-Oak at Longchamp
The 3-year-old filly Dalkala can end an already successful October campaign at Longchamp when she starts as a leading contender in Sunday's Group 1 Prix Royal-Oak in Paris.
Dalkala won the Group 2 Prix de Royallieu over 1 9/16 miles for fillies and mares at Longchamp on Oct. 6, leading throughout to win by a short neck over favored Shirocco Star.
The Prix Royal-Oak is run over 1 15/16 miles and will be the longest race of Dalkala's career, which includes a win in the Group 2 Prix de Cleopatre over 1 3/8 miles on turf in May.
The $322,000 Prix Royal-Oak drew a field of eight, including Brown Panther, who was third in the Irish St. Leger on Sept. 15. In 2011, Brown Panther was second in the English St. Leger.
◗ In Sunday's Group 1 Premio Lydia Tesio for fillies and mares at Capannelle, Italy, Sajjhaa, owned by Godolphin Racing, makes her first start since a second in the Group 2 Middleton Stakes at York in May.
The $187,500 Tesio drew a field of 11 and is run over 1 1/4 miles on turf.
Quiza Quiza Quiza is the defending champion, but was eighth in the Prix de l'Opera in her last start, which came in Paris on Oct. 7.
There will be support for Nova Hawk, a Group 3 winner in Italy in September, and Aquamarine, who was third in the Group 2 Premio Federico Tesio in Italy last month.

SBA South Florida Emerging Leaders Initiative 2014
MIAMI – The U.S. Small Business Administration's South Florida District Office is one of 27 cities and communities across the country chosen for SBA's 2014 Emerging Leaders (formerly e200) executive-level intensive entrepreneurship training initiative. Entering its seventh consecutive year, the initiative has trained more than 2,000 promising small business owners in underserved communities, and continues to expand its impact helping small businesses grow and create jobs.
The Emerging Leaders initiative has been a catalyst for expanding opportunities for underserved communities. Surveyed Emerging Leader graduates have created nearly 2,000 new full-time jobs have been created since the program's inception. These graduates also reported having secured more than $73 million in new financing for their businesses, and an increase in confidence when competing for government contracts. After participants in the Emerging Leaders training graduate, companies have reported they were awarded federal, state, local and tribal contracts, worth more than $1 billion. Sixty-two percent of surveyed participants reported an increase in revenue while 72 percent of those surveyed reported maintaining or creating new jobs in their communities.
The seven-month executive intensive entrepreneurship education series includes approximately 100 hours of classroom time per participant and provides the opportunity for small business owners to work with experienced mentors, attend workshops, and develop connections with their peers, city leaders, and financial communities.
To participate in the 2014 SBA's Emerging Leaders Initiative, the business must:

Comments about 18K Yellow Gold Channel Set Round Sapphire Ring:
I got this ring as a gift and I love it immensely. I wear it every day and I'm quite impressed that the sapphires are so sturdy. Perhaps because they're channel set and they're not out and exposed to my clumsy ways. [...]Every day that I see it it makes me smile. I wish I had three of these rings. :)

The Effects of Shaping and Instruction-based Procedures on Behavioral Variability during Acquisition and Extinction
Date: December 1999
Creator: McCary, Donald
Description: This study examined effects of two response acquisition procedures on topography of responding using the revealed operant technique and compared results to previous experiments on this topic. Subjects emitted 100 repetitions each of 4 response patterns on a continuous schedule of reinforcement. A 30-min extinction condition followed acquisition. One group of subjects learned the first response through a series of shaping steps designed to reduce acquisition variability. Another group of subjects was instructed in the correct response topography and was told there was no penalty for attempting other sequences. The first group of subjects produced high variability during extinction despite reduced variability in acquisition. The second group of subjects responded with moderate to high variability during extinction and little variability during acquisition. Most extinction responses for the first group were variations of the last pattern reinforced. Most extinction responses for the second group were repetitions of the last pattern reinforced.

Elasticity of money as a reinforcer: Assessing multiple compositions of unit price
Date: December 1999
Creator: Viken, Kjetil
Description: Behavioral economics is the integration of concepts from micro-economics into behavior analysis. Most of the research in behavioral economics has been done with non-human subjects and with drugs as reinforcers. This study represents an extension of previous research to assess money as a reinforcer with humans as subjects. The participants in this study solved math problems to earn money at various unit prices. Results indicate that demand of money adhered to the law of demand in that consumption decreased as unit prices increased. An underlying assumption is that consumption should be equivalent at different compositions of unit price. Replications of either the same or different compositions of unit price indicated that there were some discrepancies in consumption in this study.

The effects of a tactile prompting device on the requesting behavior of a child with autism
Date: December 1999
Creator: Russo, Lori A.
Description: In the present experiment, a remote control tactile prompting device (RCT) was utilized to prompt a child with autism to recruit teacher models and play suggestions. A multiple baseline and reversal was used to assess the effects of the RCT across three play contexts. The results showed increases in the number of requests for models and suggestions as well as increases in the duration of interactive play between the child and therapist, the number of contextual statements emitted by the child, and the topography and contexts of the play behaviors emitted by the child. Findings are discussed in terms of the effectiveness and generality of the RCT and the issue of teaching a child to recruit versus teaching a child activity-specific behaviors.

Second-Order Conditional Control of Members of an Equivalence Class
Date: August 1997
Creator: Cammilleri, Anthony Peter
Description: The conditional control of equivalence has received much attention in the analysis of verbal behavior. While previous research identified conditional control of relational responding and conditional control of equivalence class formation, this study investigated the possibility of conditional control of members of an equivalence class. Following baseline conditional discrimination training and equivalence testing, subjects were taught to select a particular member in the presence of a Green background screen and another member in the presence of a Red background screen.

Assessment and Treatment of Object Mouthing in the Classroom
Date: August 1997
Creator: Naftolin, Stacie (Stacie A.)
Description: The object mouthing of a developmentally delayed 8-year-old girl was assessed and treated in a classroom setting. Two pretreatment assessments were conducted: A functional analysis indicated that object mouthing occurred across test conditions and persisted in the absence of social contingencies, and assessment of stimulus preference identified reinforcers to be used during treatments. Based on assessment outcomes, two treatments were implemented. Noncontingent sensory reinforcement was implemented during free-time and group activities, resulting in a 74.3% decrease in object mouthing across three settings. During one-on-one educational activities, presentation of academic task-trials at a high rate decreased object mouthing by 85.7%, relative to a condition in which tasks were presented at a slower rate.

Knowledge-of-Correct-Response vs. Copying-of-Correct-Response: a Study of Discrimination Learning
Date: August 1996
Creator: Geller, David, 1952-
Description: Copying prompts with subsequent unprompted practice produced better learning of simple discriminations than feedback only of a correct response without subsequent practice. The Copy condition promoted faster acquisition of accurate performance for all subjects, and shorter response latencies and durations for 3 of 4 subjects. The data support the findings of Barbetta, Heron, and Heward, 1993 as well as Drevno, Kimball, Possi, Heward, Garner III, and Barbetta, 1994. The author proposes that response repertoires are most valuable if easily reacquired at times after original learning. Thus, reacquisition performance data are emphasized. The data suggest that discriminations acquired by copying prompts may result in useful repertoires if a practice procedure is used which facilitates transfer of stimulus control from a formal prompt to a naturally occurring stimulus.

The Role of a Point Loss Contingency on the Emergence of Derived Relations in the Absence of Original Relations
Date: December 1997
Creator: Michniewicz, Leslie (Leslie A.)
Description: The role of point loss for symmetrical relations introduced simultaneously with probe trials in the absence of original relations on all probe trial performances was evaluated. Training was completed after six conditional discriminations were established in two contexts. Point loss was introduced simultaneously with probe trials in the absence of original relations in the first context. Probe trials with no point loss in the absence of original relations were introduced in the second context. The simultaneous introduction of probe trials and the point loss contingency may in some cases prevent the emergence of an equivalence class in the context that contained the point loss as well as in the context where no point loss occurred.

Should Corrective Feedback Come Before or After Responding to Establish a "New" Behavior?
Date: December 1997
Creator: Roberts, Pamela J.
Description: The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal form and timing of feedback to establish a "new" behavior. It examined the relative effectiveness of delivering a corrective feedback immediately before the learner responds to a previously incorrect trial as compared to delivering a corrective feedback immediately after the incorrect response is made. Corrective feedback delivered immediately before the next opportunity to respond produced better learning than corrective feedback delivered immediately after a response. The Feedback Before condition decreased errors during training and increased acquisition rates. Results also indicated an interaction between time of feedback delivery and the complexity of the task. As the task complexity increased, the results were more dramatic in favor of the Feedback Before condition.

The Role of Fluency in the Emergence of the Derived Relations of Stimulus Equivalence
Date: December 1995
Creator: Burkett, Leslie Stewart
Description: Fluent component performances may be more readily available for recombination into more complex repertoires. This experiment considered the stimulus equivalence preparation as a laboratory analog for the co-adduction said to occur in generative instruction. Seven adults received minimum training on 18 conditional discriminations, components of 9 potential stimulus equivalence classes. Training was interrupted periodically with tests to determine whether fluency of original relations predicted emergence of derived relations. Fluency predicted emergence in 2 of 17 instances of emergent derived relations for 4 subjects. One subject demonstrated fluency without derived relations. Training accuracies as low as 58% preceded emergence for 3 subjects. Fluency appears to be neither necessary nor sufficient for derived relations. Fluency's role may be in retention and complex application tasks rather than acquisition of behavioral relations.

Examining the Relationship between Variability in Acquisition and Variability in Extinction
Date: December 1997
Creator: Neff, Bryon (Bryon R.)
Description: Using the "revealed operant" technique, variability during acquisition and extinction was examined with measures of response rate and a detailed analysis of response topography. During acquisition, subjects learned to emit four response patterns. A continuous schedule of reinforcement (CRF) for 100 repetitions was used for each pattern and a 30 min extinction phase immediately followed. One group of subjects learned the response patterns via a "trial-and-error" method. This resulted in a wide range of variability during acquisition and extinction. Only one subject emitted a substantial amount of resurgent behavior. A second group of subjects was given instructions on what keys to press to earn reinforcers. This group had less variability in acquisition and extinction and resurgent responding was prevalent.

When Hurricane Sandy descended on Long Island, New York, last October, Jeff Stern, 53, principal of Eagle Business Solutions, faced the same inconveniences as many of his neighbors. Power in his area was out for nine days, and there were gas shortages that led to rationing, making it tough to get around.
Nonetheless, Stern didn't shut his business down for a single day, thanks to smart disaster planning at the Port Jefferson consultancy he started three years ago after a long career in banking. Before the superstorm hit, he'd topped off his gas tank and filled up an extra 20-gallon tank, so he could get around (and charge up his phone). He'd made it a habit of backing up his data offsite using Carbonite, a low-cost system, so he had no worries about losing it. He'd identified an internet café where he could work on his laptop in such an event – and promptly set up shop there the next day.
"I was always in touch with clients," he says.
Many business owners were not as well-prepared for a storm of the hurricane's magnitude and have lost business while restoring operations. Business interruption insurance can help ease the pain in major disasters, but it won't help you if your out-of-state or international clients get frustrated because they can't reach you.
While they may sympathize with your situation, being caught unprepared can ultimately damage your relationships with them and hurt the reputation of your business. This is especially important for those who have started their businesses in mid-career and don't want to lose valuable time.
"You can't run your business without a disaster recovery plan," says Larry Newell, a manager in St. Louis-based public accounting firm Brown Smith Wallace's risk services practice.
Fortunately, it doesn't take much time to put together a disaster preparedness plan. Do it now, so you don't find yourself scrambling to get back up and running if your area is hit. Here are the questions to ask yourself to determine the steps you need to take.
