NOTE: Credit for the above police chase video goes to Tyrone David Photos of Radcliff, Ky.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- An alert WDRB News viewer was at the right place at the right time Monday afternoon and captured dramatic video of a police chase in Radcliff.
According to a news release, the pursuit began shortly after 12:00 p.m. Monday when Muldraugh Police officers attempted to stop 33-year-old Dale C. Brown of Somerset, Ky., for reckless driving.
The pursuit eventually moved into Elizabethtown, and officers from Muldraugh, Radcliff, and Elizabethtown police departments were involved, as were Kentucky State Police.
At one point, police say Brown struck a Radcliff Police cruiser, "putting it out of commission." The officer was not injured.
Eventually, Kentucky State Police officers were able to pin Brown's vehicle in by surrounding it with their police vehicles. Brown allegedly continued to resist their attempts to arrest him, and he was eventually tasered. The chase ended at the intersection of Ring Road and Dixie Highway in Elizabethtown.
There were no injures.
Police say Brown is expected to be charged with wanton endangerment 1st (of a police officer), leaving the Scene of an accident/failure to render aid or assistance, reckless driving, resisting arrest, DUI and receipt of stolen property.
The vehicle he was driving is alleged to have been stolen.
Although it does not appear that he was injured as a result of this incident he is being treated at Hardin Memorial Hospital and will be lodged in the Meade County Jail once he is released, according to police.
Other charges are forthcoming from the Meade County officers who initiated the pursuit.
Tyrone David of Tyrone David Photos captured a portion of the pursuit on video as it occurred in Radcliff, Ky. The video (shown above) appears to show a white truck striking a vehicle, then moving past it, pursued by several other vehicles and a couple of people on foot.
David told WDRB News exactly what happened, from his perspective.

Scary moment at Yankee Stadium on Sunday when Mark Teixeira's bat went flying into the stands in the bottom of the first against the Angels. However, fear not, compassionate baseball fans: the lumber managed to avoid hitting anybody. But there to end up with the souvenir: Spike Lee, who appears to be more busy heckling people at New York sporting events these days than making Spike Lee Joints.
Anyway, Spike did a few gratuitous poses with the bat, much to the enjoyment of the rest of the Yankee Stadium crowd. No word if he ended up keeping it, but it's probably safe to say that bat had more hits than Spike's had in the last 10 years, AMIRITE?Google+

text: Kansas City Wrongful Death Attorney Helping the Families of Wrongful Death Victims in Kansas City, MO Losing a loved one in an accident is something that no family ever wishes to go through. In virtually all wrongful death cases, when the action or inaction of another person or party directly leads to the death of another, the family of that victim is entitled to bring wrongful death action against the negligent party to collect damages. Did you lose a loved one because of someone else's careless, negligent or even criminal actions? You may be entitled to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Wendt Goss, P.C. has many years of experience in dealing with all types of injury, accident, illness, and wrongful death cases. Attorneys at the firm have been voted Super Lawyers® in Kansas and Missouri for many consecutive years in addition to achieving other recognition from the legal community. They are proud members of the National Trial Lawyers Association Top 100 Trial Lawyers and have been voted Best of the Bar by Kansas City Business Journal for four years in a row. When you need experienced, reliable legal representation from a Kansas City wrongful death attorney, do not hesitate to turn to Wendt Goss, P.C. Wrongful Death Damages If your loved one was killed in an accident, you may be able to file a wrongful death claim to recover damages for: Funeral/burial costs; Medical expenses; Loss of income; Pain and suffering, and other economic and noneconomic damages. Many people ask us "Is there a limit to how much money I can recover?" The answer to this question is both yes and no. If you wish to file a wrongful death case, you will likely be claiming losses both economic and noneconomic. An example of an economic harm would be medical bills, as these are tangible and quantifiable. An example of a noneconomic harm would be "pain and suffering" which, while felt probably more bitterly than even the financial harms, is not a tangible or easily quantifiable harm. The Kansas City wrongful death attorneys at Wendt Goss, P.C. can evaluate your case to find out the maximum noneconomic and economic damages you can claim after the death of your loved one. We recovered $565,000.00 for a client seeking compensation for wrongful death and medical malpractice. Click here to read the whole story. Who can file a wrongful death lawsuit? According to the Missouri Revised Statutes 537.080, Whenever the death of a person results from any act, conduct, occurrence, transaction, or circumstance which, if death had not ensued, would have entitled such person to recover damages in respect thereof, the person or party who, or the corporation which, would have been liable if death had not ensued shall be liable in an action for damages, notwithstanding the death of the person injured. Essentially, this means that the cause for filing a wrongful death action is the same as the cause for action in filing a personal injury claim, except with wrongful death claims, the injury is fatal and results in death so someone else must bring the claim. The Missouri Revised Statutes lists three parties able to bring wrongful death claims. Those are: Spouse or children of the deceased If no spouse or children are available or do not wish to file, the deceased's brother, sister or their descendants can file If there is no one is class one or two, then a court-appointed "plaintiff ad litem" can file Although there are a variety of people who might be entitled to bring a wrongful death claim, they must file together because only one action can be brought against a Defendant for the death of any person.

Formula Le Mans joins the big boys in the Le Mans Series
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Nov 19th, 2009 at 6:27PM
Most major racing disciplines around the world have a clear and comprehensive framework to allow aspiring drivers to learn the ropes. Pretty much everyone starts in karting, but from there F1 hopefuls go on to Formula Renault and other open-wheeled series; NASCAR aspirants to ARCA and the Nationwide Series; rally prodigees to local championships; and so on and so forth. But teams fielding Le Mans prototypes had to recruit from other disciplines. That is, until now. Earlier this year, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest – the organization behind Le Mans and its associated series –... Read More

Hurricane Season 2005: Katrina
Seventeen days after Hurricane Katrina flooded New Orleans, much of the city is still under water. In this pair of images from the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer on NASA's Terra satellite, the affected areas can clearly be seen. The top image mosaic was acquired in April and September 2000, and the bottom image was acquired September 13, 2005. The flooded parts of the city appear dark blue, such as the golf course in the northeast corner, where there is standing water. Areas that have dried out appear light blue gray, such as the city park in the left middle. On the left side of the image, the failed 17th street canal marks a sharp boundary between flooded city to the east, and dry land to the west.
The U.S. science team is located at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. The Terra mission is part of NASA's Science Mission Directorate.

Welcome to my World!
So, what is the purpose of this blog? GREAT question. That's something I've decided to figure out as we go. I've always had a lot to say and a lot to share and an unknown place and time to do so. Maybe this is the only thing I post.. maybe I carry this on throughout the rest of my life.. who knows.
First lets back up. So who am? Well, reporting from corporate America in the heart of the city. I'm a passionate and stubborn individual with a love of music and doodling (I'm not good, don't ask to see anything). I have a love for fitness and cook up a storm using my roommates as guinea pigs for new, healthy, recipes. I'm loud and outgoing, originally from the South and use that as an excuse to fit in some fried chicken and maybe a little bit of an accent sometimes.
So.. what brings me here? Why start this? What the hell do I have to share? The way I see it we're all lost and trying to figure it out, and if you're sitting there shaking your head and disagreeing with me you're lying. Every second of every day holds a whole lot of unknowns, and I use to be the kind of person who would anticipate what each one would be. About a year and a half ago my life took a turn on a series of what I thought were unfortunate events (funny how things always seem bigger when they happen).
The first of which is when the word cancer came across my lap. My dad has got to be one of the best men I know. He works hard, he loves my sisters and I to no end, still makes time to take my mom on date nights and spoil her, and is the cutest/goofiest nerd on the face of the planet. When someone you look up to so much calls you and says "I have polyps in my stomach, and well kiddo.. looks like they may be cancer" your entire world shatters. Its like these little minions have invaded your safe haven and the one man who had always proved to be the strongest man you know, has been attacked. Long story short, they were able to do a simple surgery to remove all of the effected tissue and through a series of follow ups and drug remedies there hasn't been any sort of relapse (PHEW). This was the first time I realized, I have ONE life. ONE chance. This was the beginning of a huge change in me.
Now slowly, but surely, I tried to figure out what I wanted in life. The problem was what I seemed to come up with was this cookie cutter American Dream kind of thing; corporate job with a ladder to climb, perfect boyfriend with a fairy tale story of high school best friends turned to love, always smiling and loving life, the model of perfection (or so I thought). I was on track for it all too. Luckiest girl in the world, right? Negatory (I make up words - embrace it).
A year ago the unthinkable and worst thing possible happened - HE BROKE UP WITH ME. Cue the bitter and angry commentary and bitching about how awful he is. Wait.. pause.. rewind.. lets start over.
A year ago the best thing that could happen to me finally did - My best friend let me go. He looked me in the eye and said "This isn't working." And to me that didn't just mean the relationship, it meant everything I had tried to push myself to be - that cookie cutter image that I was trying to portray WASN'T working. I was drowning and couldn't even see it. I lost everything I stood for and tried to make myself be this picture of what I thought I was "supposed" to be. It took taking a step back to see that I didn't even know who I was anymore. It was a kick in the ass and a reality check. Life isn't supposed to be perfect; in fact that's the sheer beauty of it!
So what now? Well, within two weeks I had decided to pick up and move to the city, put a transfer in at my job, found roommates, signed a lease, and I was on my way. I didn't quite know where I was going or what I was doing, but I knew that my small town wasn't going to help me figure it out. A little impulsive? Maybe, but it turns out it was a great move for me. That cookie cutter image? Shattered and man am I thankful for that. It's been a crazy ride since moving and I'm not saying that someday I still don't want that great guy with a few kids, not so much a picket fence but maybe a porch. I do. I think we all do in some sense. I AM saying that I don't know what's going to happen today, tomorrow, ever. That use to scare me, now? It's exciting.
My life - NUTS. I'm living out my wildest dreams and taking no prisoners. Nights out in the city - bottle service, awkward guys, running into the best and worst of old flames, broken shoes and pictures you never want to ever see the light of day. Figuring out this whole dating deal (WOOF!), and laughing at the ridiculous stories they make. Falling in love with fitness and healthy living. Owning my career and taking the corporate world by storm. Finding out what I want to be when I grow up. Living with three crazy girls who make my every day pretty wonderful. Making mistakes, learning and growing into someone I'm pretty proud of. Turns out, I'm pretty good at falling flat on my ass and laughing about it.
So back to the purpose. What is the purpose of this blog? STILL I don't have an answer for you. All I know is I'm a twenty something girl just trying to figure it out. I'm pretty open about my downfalls and faults and man do I get myself into some hilarious situations. The only difference? I'm willing to write about it.

I had just moved back to Atlanta last year and needed a new pair of running shoes. My gold-accented New Balance 769s were done. After going through the whole process, I was down to three options.
One pair – the Adidas Glides – was bright neon green. The salesperson and I joked about the color, but honestly, I didn't quite think I was ready to pull those off. I wound up liking the New Balance 890s better, and they only came with a touch of bright green around the edges.
A friend of mine went to get new running shoes and after picking a style, ordered a normal-colored pair instead of taking home the crazy color combo the store stocked.
I must ask. What is up with shoe colors these days?
Newton just about only makes brightly colored shoes. New Balance comes out with a multi-colored version of a lot of models. People buy them (and wear them in public). Maybe you all can help me out with a reason.
I know running fashion is a big deal and was covered some last year. But some of these shoes look like, I don't know, someone in the design studio knocked over all the bright dyes that were on the table or dipped the entire shoe in the brightest color available.
I am sure this crazy-colored footwear will perform just as well come AJC Peachtree Road Race time, and plenty of the 60,000 people at Lenox on July 4th morning will be sporting neon feet. In such a large crowd, it makes them hard to miss.
They're not for me right now, but maybe someday in the future. Or try to convince me and your fellow runners why we need to make sure everyone sees our feet.

Health & Safety
Q: What can I do to make my toddler's doctor visits easier?
A: You know that Norman Rockwell painting of the beautifully behaved child in the kindly doctor's office? Well, replace that image with one of a squalling child and a red-faced, extremely annoyed-looking doctor, and you'd be closer to the truth.
The doctor says:
"As a parent and as a pediatrician, my advice is that you follow your pediatrician's cues. Many parents try to be helpful by orchestrating positions or trying to 'pre-calm' their children--only to make the situation worse. There are a few truisms when it comes to children this age seeing a doctor. First, this group will get upset the second the doc either walks into the room or goes near them. Second, looking in ears is never a good thing for a child. Third, it doesn't have to hurt for a child this age to cry. (Whether I give the child a shot or touch his or her elbow, cries will occur!) I've found that getting the physical exam over with early in the visit is helpful. Once the stressful part--the exam and/or shots--is out of the way, the pediatrician can finish by taking the child's health history and talking with the parents. Your pediatrician may have a different way of doing things; whatever it is, go with it because I bet it will work. We pediatricians all spend a great amount of time and thought fine-tuning our approach to kids of different ages."
--Dr. Gwenn Schurgin O'Keeffe, MD, FAAP, is the CEO and Chief Editor of Pediatrics Now
What to do
Dr. O'Keeffe recommends that you:
⢠Position your child the way the pediatrician asks.
⢠Don't make promises to your child that you can't keep, such as, "It's okay honey...this won't hurt." Looking in the ears may hurt in a child's mind, and shots clearly do; lying to your child will only make things worse.
⢠Let the pediatrician do the explaining--you just do the hugging after.
⢠Prepare your child by reading him or her children's books that explain what happens during doctor visits. Dr. O'Keeffe likes the picture books written by Dr. Charlotte Cowan--especially The Little Elephant with the Big Earache. For more information, go to hippocraticpress.com.
MomLogic Moms say:
"I had a problem with my daughter being petrified of the doctor for a while," says Stefanie, Mom of three. "What worked for us is getting her a cute little doctor's kit and playing make believe. I'd check her heart and lungs, poke her tummy, and check her knee reflexes, and then let her do the same to me. After doing that, she was actually excited to go to the real doctor and knew what to expect!"
Other moms suggest that you:
⢠Take your child to a few of your own doctor's appointments first (to help your child get used to the doctor environment).
⢠Tell your child exactly what to expect ahead of time, so she¹s not surprised. (Be honest!)
⢠Role-play a doctor's visit with you as the patient and your child as the doctor.
⢠Call the pediatrician's office before you head out and make sure they're running on time. (The less time you spend there, the better!)
⢠Bring your own books to the appointment (the ones in the office are totally germ-infested!).
⢠Bring a few of your toddler's favorite toys along with.
⢠Sing songs with your child in the waiting room.
⢠Ask the doctor if you can hold your child vs. putting him or her on that loud, crinkly paper.
⢠If the doctor only addresses you, explain to your child what he or she has said.
⢠Don't make a big deal out of it--if you treat it like any other errand, your child will be less likely to freak out.
⢠Don't stress out yourself. Stay calm!
⢠Reward your child for going (lollipops, anyone?).
Most Moms agree that things will get better once your child turns three. Until then, good luck!
Q: My toddler swallowed a crayon. Should I call 911?
A: Kids put everything in their mouths. If your child swallows something, two issues are of immediate concern: Toxicity and the risk of choking.
The doctor says:
"Crayons are made from non-toxic (not poisonous) materials, so don't be concerned that your child has been poisoned. But you should call 911 immediately if there are signs that the crayon is blocking his airway or, later on, his intestines."
--Dr. Rachel Franklin, Mom of twins, Associate Professor of Family Medicine and author of "Expecting Twins, Triplets and More: a Doctor's Guide to a Healthy and Happy Multiple Pregnancy"
Signs that your child's airway is blocked:
⢠He wheezes or whistles when breathing.
⢠He's short of breath.
⢠He coughs constantly.
⢠He turns blue.
Signs that your child's intestines are blocked:
⢠He refuses to swallow.
⢠He declines food or drink even when you know he should be hungry/thirsty.
⢠He complains of abdominal pain.
⢠He vomits.
⢠He has frequent diarrhea without passing a normal stool.
⢠He passes blood in his stool or vomit.
MomLogic Moms say:
"If your child isn't choking, there's no need to panic," says Stefanie, Mom of three. "The crayon will come out in his poop in about a day or two. But I wouldn't suggest coloring with it anymore!"
Other Moms say:
⢠Memorize this toll-free poison-control line, just in case he ever swallows something that could be toxic: 800-222-1222.
Q: My baby is a year old. Can I turn the car seat around now?
A: Yeah, cooing to the back of a car seat does kinda suck.
The doctor says:
"Your baby should be at least 12 months old and weigh at least 20 pounds before you can safely turn the car seat into a forward-facing position. It's not an either/or thing: Your baby must meet both criteria, period. And once he or she does, remember to keep him or her in the back seat to avoid possible injury from the airbags."
--Dr. Rachel Franklin, Mom of twins, Associate Professor of Family Medicine and author of "Expecting Twins, Triplets and More: a Doctor's Guide to a Healthy and Happy Multiple Pregnancy"
MomLogic Moms say:
"Yes, it's annoying--but follow the guideline religiously," says Jackie, Mom of three. "But it's so important to follow the 1-year-20-pounds rule! If you didn't and something happened, you'd never forgive yourself."
Eating & Sleeping
Q: How much sleep does my toddler need?
A: A few hours less than you need him to get. (Kidding!)
The sleep expert says:
"Toddlers generally need 10 1/2 to 12 hours of sleep each night, and somewhere between one and a half and three hours during the day, broken into one or two naps."
--Jill Spivack, MSW, is a psychotherapist and co-founder of Sleepy Planet, where she provides pediatric sleep consultations, leads general parenting groups for first and second time mothers.
Why toddlers need so much sleep:
"In order for children to develop to their peak potential cognitively, emotionally, and physically, they must get enough deep, restorative sleep," says Spivack. "Brain development, learning, and memory are all supported by good 'sleep nutrition.' Sleep deprivation or disruption, on the other hand, has been linked to behavioral and emotional problems. It decreases alertness and physical coordination and increases emotional mood swings--all of which can obviously have adverse effects on a child's behavior."
MomLogic Moms say:
"I found that what Dr. Harvey Karp says is true," says Sabrina, Mom of two. "If you put the kids to bed an hour earlier than you think they need to go, they are better rested and better behaved. Worked for me!"
Other Moms say:
Some kids need more sleep than others. "My kids were different here," says Kathi, Mom of two. "One would sleep forever; the other, not so much."
Q: How can I deal with a picky eater?
A: The sad truth: Kids can't live on dry Cheerios and Goldfish crackers alone.
The dietician says:
"For picky eaters between the ages of 1 and 3, healthy snacks at regular intervals are key. Toddlers have small appetites, so they won't eat much at each meal. But if you give them regular snacks, they'll get in all of their nutrients. Also, I've found that kids are more apt to eat food that looks fun. Use a cookie cutter to cut grilled-cheese sandwiches into hearts; make Mickey-Mouse shaped pancakes; make smiley faces with ketchup...kids love things like that!"
--Debi Silber, RD, Whole Health Coach and the author of "The Lifestyle Fitness Program: A Six Part Plan So EVERY Mom Can Look, Feel and Live Her Best"
Kid-friendly snack suggestions
Debi Silber recommends the following:
⢠Fruits and vegetables (cut appropriately)
⢠Healthy dips (peanut butter, low-fat salad dressing, yogurt)
⢠Whole grain crackers with cheese
⢠Granola
⢠Milk-and-fruit smoothies
MomLogic Moms say:
"Relax about it," says Stefanie, Mom of three. "All kids are picky eaters, and it won't kill them. I hated vegetables when I was a kid, and no amount of cajoling could make me even sniff a piece of broccoli. Let your kid eat what they like, but don't knock yourself out making them special meals. If they don't want to eat what you're eating, get them a sandwich or eggs or fish sticks. Let them try new foods when they're ready. Trying to hide veggies in other foods will only drive everyone crazy."
Other Moms say:
⢠Give them small portions--toddlers have tiny tummies.
⢠Be honest with your kids about what they're eating and why it's good for them.
⢠Kids don't usually fall for the hide-the-veggies-in-their-food trick, but there are other sneaky ways to make their meals healthier. One Mom puts ground chickpeas into her mac and cheese; another makes her meatloaf out of ground turkey instead of ground beef.
⢠When kids are hungry, they will eat.
⢠Don't make them sit at the table until their plates are clean, but do insist that they try everything at least once. (Eventually their palates will change.)
⢠Let them pick their foods (give them several choices); they may be craving something for a reason--i.e., their systems may be low on a certain nutrient.
⢠If kids poop, they're eating enough.
⢠Take a longer view: Lots of kids have "bad food days" and make up for it a couple of days later.
Q: Should my toddler be taking a supplement?
A: One the one hand, you want to be sure that your child is getting enough nutrients. On the other hand, some vitamins are stored in the body, so your child could get too much of a good thing. What to do?
The dietician says:
"It's not necessary to give your child supplements if he or she has a well-rounded diet. That means that every day, you're giving your child three meals and two to three snacks composed of nutrient-dense, high-fiber, vitamin- and mineral-rich foods."
--Debi Silber, RD, Whole Health Coach and the author of "The Lifestyle Fitness Program: A Six Part Plan So EVERY Mom Can Look, Feel and Live Her Best"
MomLogic Moms say
"I had the pediatrician test my son's blood, and it turned out that he was anemic," says Kathi, mom of two. "He's been on iron supplements ever since."
Other Moms say:
⢠Giving your child a Gummy Vitamin every day can't hurt.
Q: When is my toddler ready to move out of the crib and into a bed?
A: Hint: If you wake up in the morning and find that your child has escaped from his or her crib and is sitting in front of the tube watching Nick Jr., it's time.
The pediatrician says:
"It depends on the individual. It's usually best to wait until a child is as close to three as possible, because kids that age can understand more and are better able to stay in one place. But if your child is already climbing out of the crib, then it may be time!"
--Dr. Gwenn Schurgin O'Keeffe, MD, FAAP, is the CEO and Chief Editor of Pediatrics Now
MomLogic Moms say:
"For toddlers, it's freeing--yet a little scary--to have so much control over getting out of bed," says Jackie, Mom of three. "They like to exercise that independence at first, so be ready!"
Other Moms say:
⢠Keep them in the crib as long as possible--it's easier.
⢠Once your child is interested in having her own bed, let her help you pick it out and choose the bedding.
⢠Expect lots of late-night visits once your child realizes he or she isn't penned in anymore.
⢠If your child seems happy in his crib and doesn't try to get out, don't rush into moving him into a big-boy bed.
⢠If he can climb onto the sofa and get down safely (by sliding on his belly), a big bed is probably okay.
⢠Put a guard rail on the bed in the beginning--toddlers can be active sleepers!
⢠Don't wait too long to move your child into a "real" bed, or he may end up sleeping with you for many years.
⢠Once your child moves into a big bed, begin a new nighttime routine of reading him a story and then tucking him in.
Q: What's the best way to discipline my toddler?
A: Naughty corners? Lost privileges? Yelling like a crazy person? Some techniques are more effective than others....
The parenting expert says:
"Discipline is generally used after a child has done something wrong, but the best way to prevent misbehavior is to notice and mention it whenever the toddler is doing something right. When a child wants to cooperate, a huge amount of annoying behavior will be eliminated."
--Noel Janis-Norton, founder and director of The New Learning Centre in London, is a learning and behavior specialist with over 30 years' experience in Britain and the United States.
How to practice preventive discipline:
Janis-Norton calls preventive discipline--discipline that prevents bad behavior instead of correcting it--"preparing for success." "It's less common, because we parents are so busy and preoccupied that we tend to be reactive," she says. "Even in the most loving household, it's easier for kids to get attention by doing things that are wrong; parents' to-do lists are so long, we just tend to be focusing elsewhere when kids are behaving. But being proactive is essential if you want a calmer life."
To do it:
⢠Use descriptive praise. Saying "Wow!" or "That's awesome" is less meaningful to children because those words are too general and overused. Instead, be specific: "You came when Mommy called! You put down the scissors when Mommy asked you to!"
⢠Praise your child frequently, even for small things you would normally take for granted--doing what he or she is asked; leaving the remote alone; sitting still during a meal; standing still when you're putting his or her shirt on....
⢠Look really pleased when you give the praise.
⢠Use a happy tone of voice.
⢠Start early--even a 1-year-old will quickly realize that positive attention (the attention he or she gets by pleasing you) feels better than negative.
MomLogic Moms say:
"We got a chart with stickers on it," says Sabrina, mom of two. "If our daughter does what she's supposed to--brushes her teeth, goes to bed without a fuss, gets dressed in the morning--we put a happy face on that day. Now that we've been doing it for a while, all we have to say is 'Sticker?' and she will stop misbehaving."
Other Moms say:
⢠Choose a convenient spot in your home to be the designated "time-out" area and put your child in it when he or she misbehaves. Give a warning first; if they continue to act up, give them one minute on the spot for every year of age (two minutes for 2-year-olds; three minutes for 3-year-olds, etc.).
⢠Find something your child likes and either take it away as punishment or give it to your child as a reward.
⢠Look your child in the eye when disciplining them.
⢠Be firm and consistent.
Q: I can't get my toddler to get dressed without a fight. How can I fix that?
A: Anyone who thinks it's easy to dress kids has never tried to put pants on a squirming, uncooperative 2-year-old.
The parenting expert says:
"First of all, get up earlier! When you're in a hurry and feeling rushed, you forget to smile and talk nicely. Irritable parents amp kids up and make them misbehave more."
--Noel Janis-Norton, founder and director of The New Learning Centre in London, is a learning and behavior specialist with over 30 years' experience in Britain and the United States.
To facilitate the process:
⢠Corral your child into one room and sit on the floor with your back to the door.
⢠Choose a room that doesn't contain toys (a.k.a. distractions).
⢠Instead of rushing your child ("We're going to be late!"), use descriptive praise: "You've got one sock on!"
⢠Stay calm.
MomLogic Moms say:
"Let your toddler choose their clothes," says Stefanie, Mom of three. "Yes, they may look ridiculous, but at least you won't have to argue every outfit. If you don't want to give them total control, give them a choice between two different outfits or let them choose which item of clothing to put on first. Or ask them, 'Do you want to pick out a shirt or do you want me to surprise you?' Toddlers just like to have their say!"
Other Moms suggest:
"My daughter spent one entire year in a Disney Princess sweatshirt," says one Mom. "It was the only thing she would wear. I bought five of them so we could rotate. I just got sick of fighting with her, so I let her wear it daily. I had to explain to friends and family that we had multiples, so they wouldn't think I dressed her in dirty clothes!"
⢠Making it a game or race. Use a timer or ask your child, "Can you get your pants on before Elmo is done singing?" They'll do anything to "win!"
⢠Rewarding them for getting dressed promptly. One Mom tells her kids, "If you stand still while I'm dressing you, you get a sticker on your hand."
⢠Reminding them that big girls and boys dress themselves. (Kids hate being "babies.")
Q: My sweet baby has become an impossible toddler. How do I get her to listen?
A: Do you sometimes feel that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde had nothing on your child? You're not alone.
The parenting expert says:
"When parents say they want their children to 'listen,' they're really saying that they want their children to do what they're told. The problem is, once children are mobile, they start doing what they feel like. Toddlers are especially impulsive!"
--Noel Janis-Norton, founder and director of The New Learning Centre in London, is a learning and behavior specialist with over 30 years' experience in Britain and the United States.
To rein in a difficult child:
There are two kinds of behaviors, explains Janis-Norton: "stop" behaviors (when your child is doing something wrong) and "start" behaviors (when your child isn't doing what you want him or her to do). It's easier for a child to start doing something than to stop doing something, so try to spin your corrections accordingly: Instead of saying, "Don't do that" or "Stop bothering your brother," say, "Put that down" or "Come here" (or whatever the case may be). Here are a few more tips:
⢠Avoid "armchair discipline." "It's common for parent to just call out the child's name or tell them 'no' from across the room," says Janis-Norton. "But that doesn't do any good. You have to stand up and walk over to the child."
⢠By the time you walk over to your child, chances are they've begun to alter their behavior accordingly--which gives you the chance to offer praise. ("You're not yelling so loudly! You're starting to put down the scissors!")
⢠There's a first time for everything, so don't assume that your child knows the "right" way to behave. Explain it once.
⢠If your child knows that what he or she is doing is wrong, there's no need to speak. "Just standing there and waiting is very, very powerful," notes Janis-Norton. "It often conveys authority much more efficiently than nagging."
⢠Remove temptation as much as possible, so you'll have fewer things to say "no" about.
⢠If your child doesn't start to comply with your wishes immediately, don't repeat your request. Instead, remove the object or remove the child.
⢠Try to be nice when making requests. The friendlier you are, the less likely it is that your child will scream and carry on.
⢠Be definite and use a firm tone. If you sound tentative, it gives the toddler the impression that you're asking permission--like it's up to them whether or not they should obey.
⢠Similarly, make statements instead of asking questions. (Instead of asking if they want to eat lunch now, say, "We're eating lunch now.")
⢠Don't expect kids to turn on a dime, because they can't. "Kids take a long time to transition--that's a fact," says Janis-Norton. "They get stuck in what they're doing; it takes them a while to shift gears."
⢠Plan your day so you're not racing from one activity to the next (that way, both you and your child will be less stressed, so problems will be less likely to occur).
⢠Don't let your child use the threat of a tantrum to blackmail you into letting them have their way.
⢠Get them involved and engaged in next thing that's about to happen: "Now it's time to put on your shirt...."
MomLogic Moms say:
"If you give your child an ultimatum and he or she doesn't listen, you have to follow up with consequences," says Kathi, Mom of two. "Stand by what you say, or your children will be confused--and they won't take you seriously."
Other Moms say:
⢠Yelling doesn't help.
⢠Be patient
⢠Reward them for listening.
⢠Breathe, count to 10, and relish the fact one day they'll have their own kids terrorizing them. (Payback!)

What They Did This Summer: BC students get a real-world education, at home and abroad
Profile 1 of 3 in the series - features Katya Wheelwright who traveled to Uganda to teach disease prevention in schools
ByNursing student Katya Wheelwright,'12, arrived in Uganda this past summer expecting to teach disease prevention to children at five schools. But after her first stop at an elementary school with more than 1,000 students, and a frustrating language barrier, she quickly realized she needed to adjust her expectations.
Although Wheelwright gamely went ahead and instructed the children about germs and the importance of hand-washing, as well as basic first aid, she was not confident about the results.
"The teachers helped me out as best they could, but English is not their first language. I walked away uncertain about whether or not I had really gotten through to the children."
But on one of her last days in Uganda, Wheelwright returned to the school, where she visited a kindergarten classroom.
"Upon my entering the room, the teacher spoke one word in the native language, 'Ruturo,' and in unison, the entire class brought their arms up to their mouths and coughed into the crook of their elbows.
"It almost brought me to tears."
Wheelwright's second journey to Africa was made possible from a BC Advanced Study Grant. In addition to educating children about disease prevention and hygiene, Wheelwright spent time observing and assisting at two medical clinics and a hospital in the Kibale National Park region.
The summer in Uganda marks a continued effort of Wheelwright's family to serve people worldwide. Her parents Debbie and Elliot were avid travelers, working for the Peace Corps in Africa and teaching refugees in Indonesia and Thailand.
Throughout her life, Wheelwright has volunteered for various causes. In high school, she became involved raising money for the Kasiisi Project, a nonprofit organization that aids schoolchildren in Uganda by building schools, funding scholarships and promoting conservation education. As a high schooler, she raised thousands of dollars and used books for the children and delivered the donations personally last year.
Service, Wheelwright said, "is just part of who I am."
This past summer's trip was different, as the Holliston native traveled alone. Throughout the month in Africa, Wheelwright said, she became keenly aware of the need to help the residents of the villages help themselves. In the future, she hopes to support sustainable causes, like setting up a soap club for girls at the schools.
"The soap I brought over with me this summer is not sustainable," Wheelwright said. "A soap-making club would provide the schools and the homes with soap, while in the long run, possibly serve as a way of making money for these girls and their families.
Despite illness and a few minor setbacks, Wheelwright gained a broader perspective on the issues of poverty and healthcare — but also a finer self-perception.
"The whole experience was a growth experience," she said. "I learned so much about health care systems, about the people of Uganda, and about myself. This summer I stepped outside of my comfort zone, and in doing so, learned things about myself that I never knew. This said, I am not a changed person. I am just now more aware about certain things than I ever was before."

Callaway Diablo Edge Tour Driver
The new Diablo Edge Tour Drivers are designed to give golfers a distance advantage every time they tee it up. The 4-piece Fused Titanium design creates the most weight efficient titanium driver Callaway has ever made, generating long, penetrating trajectories. The chemically milled Hyperbolic Face produces Callaway's highest, most consistent ball speeds over the entire face. The new aerodynamic body shape reduces drag during the downswing up to 8%, creating faster impact speeds. Finally, the Aldila Habanero shaft provides incredible feel and is the perfect complement to maximize the driver's performance. Fused Titanium The 4-piece modular design produces the most weight efficient titanium driver Callaway has ever created. Each part is precision formed and fused, allowing weight to be positioned optimally for distance enhancing, penetrating ball flights. Chemically Milled Hyperbolic Face Generates Callaway's most consistently high ball speeds ever by using a chemical reduction process to selectively remove unwanted material for precision thickness control. Aerodynamic Body Design The refined head shape optimizes all edge transitions to reduce swing drag up to 8% vs. other 460cc drivers for higher impact speeds and longer distance.

Martha Stewart EcoCook Nonstick Fry Pan
Un-Gift Guide 2008
This is our second Martha mention today, which was not planned, we promise. Because this basic (and relatively inexpensive) pan has been on our Christmas wish list for a while...
Earlier today, Sara Kate asked if you still use nonstick cookware. We prefer stainless cookware, but we do like to have one good nonstick fry pan for making eggs, fish, or anything else that's delicate or doesn't need a good sear. And, as we've said before, nonstick pans don't last forever. In our experience, they get scratched and nicked no matter how nicely you treat them. Our current pan is only good for whacking a burglar on the back of the head.
This line from Martha Stewart is one of several eco-friendly ones that no longer use the chemical PTFE, which emits carcinogens. The pans are also made through an energy-efficient production process. So, for us, it won't just be a replacement but an upgrade.
Macy's website lists these pans at $19.99 (for an 8-inch) up to $34.99 (12-inch), but we've definitely seen them on sale in the store, somewhere around $10.
• Buy them online: Martha Stewart Collection EcoCook Fry Pans, at Macy's

I've completely converted to cast iron for my non-stick needs.
It works a treat, doesn't poison you, is plenty cheap, and gives you strong forearms to boot!
I have a friend who *really* loves cast iron a lot: http://www.derekoncastiron.com/
This is such good timing for me. I'm on the hunt for some fairly affordable new saucepans, and these seem like an excellent option. Thanks!
I have one of these pans and would advise against them. They cannot handle any heat beyond either a medium flame or medium setting. Mine scorched after the first use and everything stuck in that spot after that. Discarded it soon after. Sorry Martha.
I have two of these fry pans. I love them - no problems so far and I've owned them for about three months. I have a gas range and I have used them over very high heat many times.
As far as I am concerned, a properly seasoned cast iron pan is superior in any way to a non stick pan, however high tech.
I've got an iron egg pan that I use for nothing but egg dishes, omelets, fried, scrambled, you name it. Nothing, but nothing, ever sticks to it. It hasn't been in touch with water for years, after every use it gets a quick wipe with a paper towel, then gets stored away for the next use.
There's nothing like it. As far as green is concerned, I bought it used at a flea market and it'll outlive me, my children and my children's children. That's true sustainability.

Paper Humidification & Paper Humidifiers
Humidity control in the paper industry is essential to control the moisture loss of the paper after drying.
Once produced and reeled, the paper can be exposed to ambient conditions at the end of the paper machine for considerable periods of time, maybe up to 2 hours. Exposed surfaces of the paper will change in moisture content dependent on the ambient humidity, leading to problems during the slitting and wrapping processes.
Low humidity, below 50%, causes the paper to shrink, curl and lose dimensional stability making the reel of paper unusable and in turn very costly to the manufacturer. To stop this from occurring, the typical humidity level required is 55%rH. When this level is maintained the moisture in the paper maintains not only the flexibility of the product but also its stability during production.
Paper humidity issues
The drying end of a paper machine and the surrounding area is usually well ventilated so ambient humidity changes will have an affect on the paper as it is reeled up at the end of the maker.
Low humidity in the slitting area will cause moisture losses to occur; these losses will take place very quickly. However, damage to the paper may not be seen at this stage as the tension on the paper prevents any curl or dimensional change being seen.
Changes to the paper in the slitting process will show at the sheeting stage because the tension has been taken off the paper and it is now free to change its shape.
In very severe cases of moisture loss, web breaks will occur. This is where the moisture change has caused such a large dimensional change that the paper tears. Web breaks not only cause damage to the paper but also are costly to the manufacturer as it takes time to re-thread the machine.
It is important to maintain moisture in the finishing and wrapping areas to not only stop the paper from drying but also the wrappers as well. When moisture is lost from the wrapper, it will be drawn from the paper, which will shrink. These dimensional changes are permanent, once caused they will not reverse themselves so the paper will be unusable.
When humidity is below 45% static electricity will be generated. This can be a very large charge. To give an indication of the level that can build up, it takes 30,000 volts for a spark to jump 1cm, sometimes static sparks as long as 50cm can be seen in slitting machines.

PRS Modern Eagle Quatro with Stoptail Electric GuitarUpdated with a new "pattern" neck shape, "V12" finish, and 53/10 pickups, the ME Quatro builds on the Modern Eagle tradition of using premium tonewoods, including a select dalbergia neck and fretboard and artist-grade top, to create a bold yet elegant instrument. The ME Quatro incorporates the following new features: V12 Finish Finish should enhance the look, sound, and feel of a guitar by accentuating the wood's inherent beauty and feel without hindering its natural resonance. And PRS Guitars' new "V12" finish does just that. Introduced at Experience PRS 2010, "V12" is a very thin, hard, and clear finish that will not crack or react with thinners. After roughly 12 years in development, it is halfway between acrylic and nitro but with a classic feel all its own. "PRS models with this new finish feel like old instruments," said Paul Reed Smith. Pattern Neck Shape Neck shapes have always been a high priority for PRS and a hallmark of their quality. A guitar should feel comfortable, like "home," as soon as you pick it up, and the neck is paramount to that connection. Perfected after years of prototyping, the new "Pattern" neck is an updated Wide Fat PRS neck style based on Paul's pre-factory design. These necks were found on the instruments built for Carlos Santana, Peter Frampton, and Howard Leese from the late '70s to the mid '80s. Whether in woodworking, machining, or cast and die work, patternmaking is the art of arriving at a perfect standard that can be duplicated or used to create new designs from by "offsetting." All PRS necks came to be as a result of offsetting from this original, Wide Fat design. 53/10 Pickups The 53/10 pickup is the latest in the series of humbucking pickups that already includes PRS 57/08 and 59/09s (and the smaller aperture 57/08 Narrowfield). First debuting as part of a limited run in the summer of 2010, the distinct 53/10 is the warmest-sounding of the vintage themed bunch. The 53/10 coil wire is made on the same machine that supplied legendary guitar makers in the '50s. Wire specifications for the 53/10 are slightly different than the others and are made using a special process reserved for a single-coil bridge pickup circa 1953; however, the 53/10 is a humbucking pickup. Smith commented, "There are single-coil guitars from that era that are beautifully big, fat sounding guitars." With that tone as inspiration, 53/10 pickups are similar to the original 57/08 but with a "sweeter" high end. Check the drop-down menu to the right to select colors and/or other options.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

METAIRIE, La. - The Jefferson Parish Fire Department responded to a 2-alarm fire that started in a dumpster by the Mattress Direct store on Veterans Boulevard.
The fire started at approximately 1 p.m. while workers were stripping the roof off of the Brooklyn Pizza and Jimmy John's restaurants near Mattress Warehouse.While putting out the fire the JPFD sprayed down the nearby buildings as a precaution because of the heavy smoke. Because of the roof work being done when the fire started, Jimmy John's and Brooklyn Pizza took water damage, according to a Jefferson Parish Fire Official.
The State Fire Marshall and Jefferson Parish Fire investigators will conduct an investigation to determine how the fire started.
Daniele Watts said she was detained by police on Thursday because they thought she was a prostitute.

pleomorphic xantroastrocytoma (PXA, brain tumor)
Juan enjoys school, particularly science and math classes. He likes hanging out with his mom, Amelia, and his little brother Javier. They go swimming, play board games and watch movies together.
Last July, Amelia's life turned upside down when Juan suddenly fell ill. He lost his appetite and had a constant headache. An MRI revealed Juan suffered from a brain tumor. He underwent emergency surgery to remove the tumor, but since he did not have health insurance, Amelia worried she wouldn't be able to get him the care he needed.
Amelia's sister urged her to look into St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, where families never receive a bill for anything. Because the majority of St. Jude funding comes from the public, St. Jude has the freedom to focus on what matters most — saving kids regardless of the financial situation. This means doctors and scientists spend less time on paperwork and more time on lifesaving care and uncovering the next big breakthrough.
Juan and his mother arrived at St. Jude in September. She knew the moment she and Juan walked through the doors that everything would be okay.
At St. Jude, Juan underwent another surgery to remove tumor growth. A biopsy identified the tumor as a PXA, a rare brain tumor in the astrocytoma/glioma family. Juan's treatment included 33 rounds of radiation therapy.
"Without St. Jude, I don't think Juan would have gotten the treatment he needed," Amelia said. "We didn't worry about anything while we were here. Our doctors and nurses were amazing. Everyone was so supportive." St. Jude staff even reached out to little Javier at home, to make sure he understood what was going on with his older brother.
Juan is now finished with treatment. His latest set of scans showed no evidence of disease. He loves to do science experiments and play video games. He's considered being everything from a zookeeper to a policeman to a teacher when he grows up. "Juan's going to be a master of all trades," Amelia said. "He can do anything he wants to do."

The first on a occasional series of questions I might ask in an interview – or perhaps would like to be asked if someone were to interview me…
How do you design a data warehouse?
Now that is a vague question – am I looking for an insight to the analysis and design process (requirements gathering and other user facing skills) or a statement of the design principles to be followed? In reality tackling either facet would score good marks from me providing the case is well argued. I am also of the opinion that more than one valid solution is possible – I really don't mind if the candidate offers an answer that is not my preferred way of doing things providing it well reasoned.
But that said, a candidate that correctly associates the purpose of a data warehouse with the design is going to be scoring highly. Data warehouses are about data, without that they are nothing. The fundamentals are:
- protecting the asset – the data must be recoverable when something goes wrong (when and not if)
- guaranteeing the quality of the data – or else we will not be trusted
- acquiring the data and assimilating it in a timely fashion – batch versus trickle-feed
- and being able to play it back to users in an acceptable timeframe.
You will notice that none of this gets into design wars between 3NF and star.
I will go into some specifics next time

Chamber of Commerce sends cybersecurity recommendations to House
Wednesday - 4/18/2012, 9:18pm EDT
The list was developed by the chamber's Cybersecurity Working Group and includes recommendations like improving information sharing between the public and private sector; enhancing research and development and heightening public awareness of good cybersecurity "hygiene."
The chamber also called for reform of the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA), which it said should be more proactive and set a good example for private enterprises.
More than 20 organizations signed onto the letter, including the American Bankers Association, the American Petroleum Institute and TechAmerica.

The host Robert Osborn of TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES in introducing GIGI called it, "The greatest musical ever filmed." I viewed it when it came out when I was 15 and always remembered it as the finest movie musical I had ever seen.
I saw it for the second time last night on TCM and had to agree with Mr. Osborn.
Just compare GIGI to practically all Broadway and film musicals ever produced and with few exceptions: MY FAIR LADY, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF,
CABARET, AN MAERICAN IN PARIS... Add the Fosses' innovative JUST THAT JAZZ... Well nothing comes close.
Few musicals have been produced during recent decades by "Hollywood." And the "musicals' on B'way are just entertainment for tourists -- not art in anyway.

Like all whimsical tales, Gigi requires us to forego our 2010 sensibilities and become lost in the colorful, strictly uppa-class world of 1900 Paris. Leslie Caron is so beautiful that she commands the screen each time she appears, which, of course, is often. The MGM Channel high definition presentation is as crystal clear and colorful as the CinemaScope and Metrocolor can muster. Forgive the few maudlin lines and enjoy the many sharp and knowing ones.

there is no doubt about one aspect of gigi -gingold is delightful as the granny who is cospiring with the great-aunt to make gigi into the toast of parisian cafe society,
i have never really comprehended the vision of vincent minnelli movies despite their superficial visual appeal,whether he wants to just aspire to an old world charm or in fact ridicule that superficial and artificial world inhabited by his rather dull aristocratic sterotypes who behave in a rather mono syllabic manner both with music and histrionics is quetionable,but here hermione gingold is rescued partly by vincente himself .
Also louis jordan is charming at least outwardly as the frenh millionaire playboy who is a bored cad amusing himself with mistresses and gigi who is the grand-daughter of his best frienf -gingold.
Gigi is caron ,a pretty precocious child who is a tomboy and a cad who calls all of jordan's female friends like gabor-common ,
she of course likes ice lollies and rides in cars ,which is another way of giving us a great tour of old pari in vintage cars .
Then she grows up and turns into a somewhat semi-swan from a pretty duckling in a kind of twist borrowed from my fair lady ,
her training seems to involve ways of how to please a man from encouraging them to smoke cigars to pouring their coffee and selecting the right wines ,
this becomes whimsical when gigi is showered with both jewels and attention and songs by jourdan who loses his mind to her ,
though caron looks hardly 16 and he is thirty something ,but then it is a musical and it is set in paris too ,
you get to see all the fountains and a lot of songs with glittering gowns in the bargain ,
but the most intersting bit is the role of women as seen in this social milieu as a whim and a bauble to amuse men and how much pain the women go through to fulfill that part of the bargain is both amusing and revealing but rather familiar grounds and the script hardly surprises you at any point with it's faithful french adaptation of my fair lady ,
watch it for the costumes if you dig great french frocks and gingold .

Welcome to Diablo's Armory!
Diablo's Armory is a free tool to calculate character and gear stats. To get started just click on the Stats Calc link. You do not need to create any accounts or submit any data to use the tool (see Guest Accounts for more info).
First you will need to create a character and any items on your in game character then add them the your character in the tool. I have found the best way to do this is to take a screen shot of all of your items so you can read the tool tips out of game. For the Armor value on items use the big armor number on the item tool tip. For weapons you will only need to enter the min and max damage found under the Damage Per Second value on the item tool tip.
Gems and set bonuses are not currently supported by the tool so for now just add the values as extra stats. If you don't want to add up all of the values of your sockets (I know math is hard) you can enter it on a new entry and the tool will add all of the values for you. If you do not see the attribute for an item in the drop down list let me know so I can get that fixed.
Sadly Blizzard has not released the API for Diablo 3 yet. Once they do I will look for a way to auto import all of your items from your account. Till then you will have to do it by hand.
Now that you have created an item it will appear in your saved items tab. Mousing over the item will display an arrow for the items drop down menu. In the drop down menu you can equip the item to your current character along with other actions. After all items have been added we can now go check out the stats tab. These values should be very close if not the same as your in game character sheet. If any value appears to be off check over your items again them let me know so I can look into it.
Currently I know there are a few errors with Damage but most of the time the difference is less than 10. This mainly happens when dual wield and on some weapons that have % Damage increase. There is also a small difference (~0.02) in the reduction from resistance information. Again if you find any other values that are wrong let me know.
Anyways I hope this tools helps you out when your looking for that perfect item on the auction house, I know it has helped me. If you can think of anything you would like to see as part of this tool let me know. This is just the start and I want to keep expanding the site into useful tool for every Diablo 3 player.

Desmond Tutu wins $1.7 million prize for promoting forgiveness and justice
South African anti-apartheid campaigner Desmond Tutu has won the 2013 Templeton Prize worth $1.7 million for helping inspire people around the world by promoting forgiveness and justice, organizers said on Thursday.
A leading human rights activist of the late 20th century, the former Anglican archbishop of Cape Town played a pivotal role in the downfall of apartheid and subsequently worked to heal wounds in South Africa's traumatized society.
Tutu, 81, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for standing up against white-minority rule. He remains a prominent campaigner for peace and human rights.
The Templeton award was announced as his friend and fellow Nobel laureate Nelson Mandela was fighting pneumonia in a third health scare in four months for South Africa's first black president.
Established in 1972 by the late American-born investor and philanthropist John Templeton, the annual prize – worth more, in monetary terms, than the Nobel – honors a living person "who has made an exceptional contribution to affirming life's spiritual dimension".
"When you are in a crowd and you stand out from the crowd it's usually because you are being carried on the shoulders of others," Tutu was quoted as saying in a statement released by the U.S.-based foundation.
"I want to acknowledge all the wonderful people who accepted me as their leader at home and so to accept this prize in a representative capacity."

QPress is an application currently being developed for the WordPress platform. It's purpose its to provide a simple and affordable way for researchers in the field of Q-methodology to collect data and import it into the appropriate data analysis software. It also operates as an affordable survey data collection system.
What is Q-Methodology?
Q-Methodology is a research approach, similar to factor analysis, which allows for the creation of cluster-like factors, so one can see how different groups are formed based on their subjective opinions. This subjectivity is determined by the users sorting a number of cards containing statements one would be usually asked to rate on a scale in factor analysis. Card sorting can be problematic, and there are few perfect solutions out there. QPress aims to change that. To learn more about Q-Methodology, please download this PDF from qmethodology.net.
Technical Aspects of QPress for supporting Q-Methodology
QPress will be very similar to FlashQ in terms of the user interface. However, it will be a complete joy to use if you are the researcher or participant using it. As the researcher will through a WordPress interface be able to easily add, remove, and sequence Q-sort statements. You will then be able to export these to SPSS, PQMethod or PCQ without having to re-key any data.
Technical Aspects for Survey component
QPress will also host one of the easiest to use questionnaire platforms on WordPress. Question types include Likert, semantic differential, enter the blank, yes/no, single-line and multi-line text. It will be easily customisable in a self-explanatory control panel in the WordPress Dashboard.
QPress functions
QPress has a number of features which will make it easy for Q-method researchers to:
- Create a Q-sort made up of a number of existing or new cards with statements on
- Add a Q-sort sequence to any WordPress page
- Add text pages, decision pages, and other questionnaires to the sequence
- Output the numerical part of the Q-sort to SPSS, Excel, PCQ, PQMethod to avoid having to re-key data. The same file types are available for the traditional survey component.
- Output the text part of the Q-sort (i.e. asking participants why they answered how they did) as a RTF file. This format can also be used for text-based questions in traditional surveys.
Get involved!
The Crocels Press is currently looking for volunteers to test the QPress plugin as it is currently at Alpha stage, which means it is at the first stage of being tested. We are looking to pay back the costs of developing QPress as soon as possible, so we are asking QPress's potential users to help 'crowd-fund' the project. Users can pick from getting a licence that is $75 which is 50% off a single year licence, 50% off a lifetime licence for $375, or get 1 share in the net profits of QPress for $500.
