I root for Chad and I think it's not out of question that he could win a close decision with good game-plan and consistant performance, but Ward just knows how to win and with that additional weight issue I pick him to win in a close decision.
It's great fight, would be even better if Ward could go up or they met half way...

I hope Chad Dawson upsets Andre Ward but the heavy favorite outcome for this fight is Andre Ward by decision.

pacquiao forced a reigning champion to fight at a catchweight. he challenged him for HIS title but didnt allow him to defend it at the proper weight.
as a WW champion cotto should have the right to be up to 147 lbs and he wasnt, thats bull****. if dawson wants to drop weight and challenge a lighter man in his division thats his choice and cant be put on ward, he didnt force anything on chad the way pacquiao did cotto.
also dawson makes 175 without effort unlike cotto at 147, the reason why he chose to drop down and the reason cotto had to be forced.

ppl are sleeping on dawson so bad its not even funny. the first man to deserve a decision against the great hopkins since the great RJJ in 94'. the only man except vitali friggin klitschko to beat tomasz adamek, or should i say DOMINAtE adamek.
on top of that he beat tarver twice, johnson twice and harding. most fights in dominating fashion. bcuz he had an off night against pascal now ppl acting like they aint messing with a beast. like chad dawson isnt THAT dude. big mistake..
again dawson chose to come down, he wouldnt do that unless he knew what he was doing. im not saying hes gonna win but you cant count him out against anyone.

This 1 gig video card works like a dream for world of warcraft and all the other computer programs that i run on my PC. I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS PRODUCT.
This video card was easy to install with plenty of back up from the manufacturer.
Great product, and by far the greatest and cheapest price anywhere.
The only negative, which is not a product negative, is that you really HAVE TO read the manual before installation since it is specific about DISABLING any onboard video support. Other vendor products don't care about that as much as this one does, it seems. Nonetheless, the product itself works great! And, of course, the price was equally GREAT!
no trouble with install or driver instillation
We use this video card on one of our render machines we built to render 3D stills and animations and it works like a charm. Great card for the price. I'm not sure on performance for gaming, since we haven't used it on a gaming machine, but for use with Carrara, 3DMax, Poser, and Vegas Video, I can highly recommend it.
Installed card & after it warmed up started making terrible noise.
returned the card.

But the state couldn't pay for it.
The Karelian Bear Dog program, considered vital by many wildlife workers, is running out of money. The program is strictly funded by donations, even though the state owns the dogs.
"We're not flush with money. We're actually just scraping by," said Fish and Wildlife Captain Bill Hebner. "There's a lot of things we could do if we had more money, just like any other program. The dogs are here and our handlers are committed to making sure they stay here for a long time."
That includes "Cash," one of the Karelian bear dogs.
Cash was working in the woods when he tore a ligament in his left knee. Plates and screws hold his knee together now, and he is healing well.
But the check-up brought bad news, too.
Cash also injured his right knee and could be in for another expensive surgery.
"His vet bill for the original injury was pretty much draining our existing fund source and with the bad news we got today, frankly I don't know where we're going to come up with the money to pay for that," said Capt. Hebner.
That won't keep Cash's handler, Rich Beausoleil, from moving forward.
That's in part because of how hard Cash works.
When it's time to go nose-to-nose with a bear, he doesn't back down. He's at the front of the line, pounding through the woods when a bear gets too close to homes.
And when Bellevue City Councilman John Chelminak was attacked by a bear, Cash cornered the bear at midnight in the pouring rain, so officers could take it down.
Beausoleil firmly believes if it weren't for Cash, that deadly bear would have gotten away, causing panic in the neighborhood.
That hero dog is healing well, with plates and five screws holding his left knee together.
He had a good prognosis, though it could be months or even a year before he's working again.
That makes Beausoleil's job tougher.
"It's night and day," he said. "The dog, he's made me a better biologist. He's made me more effective to the agency and the public."
That's part of why the veterinarians at Kirkland's Puget Sound Animal Hospital discounted the bill.
"If we can do something to make it possible for the animal to continue as a service dog, then we feel that's just our part of helping out the department and the public in general," explained Dr. Mark Engen.
Cash will need more of that generosity.
"There's a lot of headaches but it's all good because that dog's a champ," said Beausoleil.
In addition to Cash, there are three other Karelian bear dogs currently working with wildlife officers in Washington state.
Two more officers within the department will get KBD puppies in late February. Those officers have been personally raising money for a couple years, earmarked for the purchase. Continuing expenses of feeding and caring for the dogs comes from donations.
If you would like to support the KBD Program, send a check to WDFW KBD Fund, Attn: Cpt Bill Hebner, 16018 Mill Creek Blvd., Mill Creek, WA 98012.

Skip to comments.Obama: "We're Now Only Five Days Away From Finishing The Job"
Posted on 09/26/2013 2:15:59 PM PDT by Biggirl
PRESIDENT OBAMA: So, the reason is reforming health care is going to help the economy over the long term.
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
Finishing the job will be when we flush his ass down the toilet.
All hail Caliph Baraq!
This from the guy who said that raising the debt ceiling does not mean raising the debt.
He meant "from finishing off the country".
He meant finishing the GOP.
He means that Obamascare will turn us into a socialist
economy in the long term.
Well he did say before the election that we are "Five days from transforming the United States of America" but people were either too stupid or too focused on other things to realize what he meant..but I knew..we all here knew, and now too many in the GOP are willing to go down the path of socialism
I guess he needs to pose in front of one of those "Mission Accomplished" banners, right?
That's really funny. I've never seen that one before. It's a little dark. It is the Giants and new Orleans?
I'm one of the uninsured poor and I refuse.
"The Key to Marxism is Medicine."
They believe that when they control our bodies they will have their Marxist Paradise.
For something that is supposedly so popular, he has to work really hard to try to get support.
Me, too.
Obama won't be happy till...
Your children are born in Government hospitals...
They are educated in Government schools...
They all have Government jobs...
YOU are in government assisted living...
and have a Government funeral...
Their children are born in Government hospitals...
There is nothing in this world worth selling America's children into slavery, not even my health.
Doing otherwise would be selling my soul.
Interesting how 5 days coincides with a conspiracy theory thread posted over the weekend about something big is going to happen in FEMA region III on October 1st.
Probably just a coincidence. However, obama has said things in the past that came to be truth. Janet Napolitano said during her exit that the country was going to soon experience a major disaster that is something we never seen before.
Im one of the uninsured poor and I refuse.
The thing is, they don't care.
Time,disease, and nontreatment will take care of you
Oh trust me they care. They care because I speak out about it and the "poor" are supposed to belong to them but not all of us do.
Right. They are counting on us bending our knee to the tyrant or being finished off one by one as the government grinds down each conservative, bitter clinger. The only real threat to the Left's Obama hegemony is collective action
PRESIDENT OBAMA: "So, the reason is reforming health care is going to help the economy over the long term. Not only will it help lower costs for businesses, not only will it help families, it will free up entrepreneurship in this country because if you've got a great idea for your own business, but you've never tried it because your spouse had a pre-existing condition and you didn't want to lose your employer-based coverage, you've got the ability now to get your own coverage. That's security. That's freedom. So, we're now only five days away from finishing the job. Five days."
This man always lies. What he is saying above is only partly true: "we are only five days away from finishing the job"... of the economic destruction of the U.S.A.
Socialism doesn't work.
This does not benefit anyone. It is a destroyer of the economy. The government NEVER gets anything right because bureaucracies are huge and clumsy organizations.
Obamacare will do to America what 9/11 did to the WTC. Obama's just "FINISHING THE JOB."
I try to remind people of this all the time. And I ask them: What are our fundamentals? The Constitution and free market capitalism. I knew exactly what he meant at the time. Usually I get blank stares as a response.
That really caught me to. So I tried to listen from the beginning what was a transformation according to King Obama. No answer from him. I felt that this was a con man and no good would come from him. Kind of like if a politician said I will pass a bill outlawing all guns so there will no guns. Now I realize that King Obama is a communists BLACK Muslim and no doubt of it by his very actions.
There were many many warning signs about Obama, but that one right there was the biggest one, but what did McCain do, absolutely NOTHING..still to this day if I were to meet McCain face to face I would ask him why, why did he want to lose so badly and screw this country over..was he in Obama's pocket(seems like today he still is) was his campaign in his pocket..I guess we will never get those answers..but no one should be surprised at what Obama is doing..he promised it and he's keeping his promise..to transform America into the Socialist Utopia progressives have wanted for centuries
Days from jobbing the public, he meant to say.
That rotten sob rat told the world that we had nothing to fear from senator Obama. Either he was a fool or was compromised. I believe that he was blackmailed.
McCain won his next election despite being very unpopular in his home state. He was probably told to stand down and with that he would retain his senate seat. Otherwise he would go down. Prove me wrong.
He beat Rep Hayworth and another guy in the primary the numbers were 56/32/12.
He got 59% plus in the general.
I think you're forgetting how Az has changed. The influx of Hispanics, Californians, and Midwestern retirees has changed it.
McCain sounds like he's still being blackmailed..or he is just a leftist who agrees with everything Obama says..I just dont get the guy..he sounds more and more like a leftist everyday, going after Ted Cruz, using the same kind of language leftists use..either he is being blackmailed or he is just a leftist clown..either way he needs to be thrown out of the GOP, time to get rid of the crap

Annuals for Every Purpose: Choose the Right Plants for Your Conditions, Your Garden, and Your Tasteby Larry Hodgson
View All Available Formats & Editions
Annuals are very much back in style after the decades-long perennial revolution. You see annuals in every garden, with the old-fashioned flowers still among the most popular. With new varieties being launched every year and older ones (many dating back more than four or five years) disappearing just as quickly, gardeners need help sorting them out. Author Larry Hodgson tells you what to look for among the numerous new introductions: greater adaptability to growing conditions, longer period of bloom, improved insect and disease resistance, and more -- everything, in fact, that you need to know to make growing annuals both simple and fun. You'll discover: - How to cut back tired annuals, like sweet alyssum, to get them to rebloom even more intensely than before. - How to save money by taking cuttings of so-called "designer" annuals, using one plant to create many. - All about overwintering numerous "annuals" that are really tropical perennials. - Which cool-loving annuals you can sow in the fall so they can sprout when the conditions are perfect the following spring. - Simple tricks that make designing with annuals a snap. - And much, much more! You'll find annual gardening has never been easier -- or more exciting -- than when you have Annuals for Every Purpose as a handy reference.
Editorial Reviews
"There are three things that I feel should go into any book about gardening. The first is, Will it help the gardener in the garden? The second is, Will the readers, be they professional or amateur, understand what is written? The third is, Will there be new and old territory covered in the book? Larry's book covers all three and then some!" Bob Tanem, host of the San Francisco Bay Area's #1 radio garden show, "Bob Tanem in the Garden," on KSFO
"Colorful and down-to-earth, this wonderful book tells you everything you need to know about growing annuals in your garden. And there's an abundance of great hints about using these wonderful plants in your landscape." Ed Hume, host of the television show "Gardening in America"
"In the rush to embrace perennials, many of us seem to have forgotten the simple pleasure of planting a seed and watching it grow.

AUDIO: Top U.S. General Calls Homosexuality 'Immoral,' Compares To Adultery
Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Peter Pace said today that homosexuality is "immoral" and that he supports Don't Ask Don't Tell because "we should not condone immoral acts." In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Pace also compared homosexuality to adultery, claiming that the military should "not tolerate" homosexuality just as it rejects "military members who sleep with other military members' wives."
Pace's bigoted remarks expose the flawed foundation of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, and show Pace to be in the minority. A Dec. 2006 Zogby poll of U.S. soldiers found that nearly three in four troops (73 percent) say "they are personally comfortable in the presence of gays and lesbians," and a Harris poll last month showed that 55 percent of Americans "think gays and lesbians should be allowed to serve openly in the military." At least 24 nations including Israel, Britain and other U.S. allies "let gays serve openly, with none reporting morale or recruitment problems."
Earlier this year, Pace's predecessor Gen. John Shalikashvilii announced his support for repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell: "I now believe that if gay men and lesbians served openly in the United States military, they would not undermine the efficacy of the armed forces."
UPDATE: AmericaBlog has more.
PACE: My upbringing is such that I believe that there are certain things, certain types of conduct that are immoral. I believe that military members who sleep with other military members' wives are immoral in their conduct, and that we should not tolerate that. I believe that homosexual acts between individuals are immoral, and that we should not condone immoral acts. So the Don't Ask, Don't Tell allows an individual to serve the country, not — [inaudible] that allows individuals to serve their country. If we know about immoral acts, regardless of committed by who or — then we have a responsibility. And I do not believe that the Armed Forces of the United States are well served by saying through our policies that it's okay to be immoral in any way, in any way, not just with regards to homosexuality. This is from that standpoint saying that gays should serve openly in the military to me says that we, by policy, would be condoning what I believe is immoral activity. And therefore, as an individual, I would not want that to be my policy, just like I would not want it to be our policy that, if were to find out that so-and-so was sleeping with someone's wife, that we would just look the other way, which we do not. We prosecute that kind of immoral behavior between members of the Armed Forces.

Skip to comments.The Pornification of Pop
Posted on 04/06/2014 4:57:20 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
Rashida Jones bristles at the suggestion that shes a prude.
I love sex, the 37-year-old actress and writer declared recently in Glamour magazine. Hell, Ive even posed in my underwear. But Jones also bristles at an instinct so common among young female pop stars to showcase their private parts, à la Miley Cyrus gyrating on stage in latex scanties. Last October, Jones created a mini-furor when she tweeted, This weeks celeb news takeaway: she who comes closest to showing the actual inside of her vagina is most popular #stopactinglikewhores.
That seemingly innocuous dig at Cyrus, Rihanna, and other hypersexualized stars provoked a predictable firestorm on Twitteraccused most commonly of slut-shaming which forced Jones into the pages of Glamour to mount a (more than 140 character) defense. The Parks and Recreation star declared an openness to sex but wariness of the pornification of everything and the homogenous and sexualized image that young women in the music industry are promoting.
Every star interprets sexy the same way: lots of skin, lots of licking of teeth, lots of bending over. I find this oddly boring, Jones wrote. I understand that owning and expressing our sexuality is a huge step forward for women. But, in my opinion, we are at a point of oversaturation.
Its a topic Jones will expand upon during a panel at the Women in the World Summit on April 5, alongside Colorado psychologist Tomi-Ann Roberts and 16-year-old Winnifred BonJean-Alpart, who was featured in Sexy Baby, a documentary about how the digital age is changing our cultures sexual landscape.
Jones, daughter of music mogul Quincy Jones, makes a decidedly feminist argument about todays sex-obsessed starlets. Im just asking people to take a breath and talk about it, she told The Guardian in February.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
I sure am glad sex was still a mystery when I was in my formative years. The magic of it is now gone for young people.
Well, that's refreshing. But I see she's already been intimidated into having to "explain" herself to the slut brigade.
Who in the world (other than Satan, perhaps) is behind all this aggressive sexual stuff, such as getting the harmless Firefox CEO canned for disagreeing with them? It's like a disease or a madness that has seized people and is being spread through the media and will not spare anyone.
Today's 'pop' is nothing more than single white females whoring themselves to their gangsta rap pimps. Bring back Led Zeppelin, RUSH, AC/DC, etc..
Auto-tune can only do so much, then it becomes a risque image followed by a sex oriented decline I call a "Lohan-Spiral"
You're correct, but don't you think those boys in their prime were banging every chick in the fan queue?
The Population Bomb may in the end be defused, not by government-coerced sterilization but by porn websites.
It's not just pornographic, it's just flat out boring.
Sure they were, but not on stage!
Yeah nothing pornographic about "Squeeze my lemon, 'til the juice runs down my leg"...LOL!
It's tragic that people, like the lady cited in the column, think the pornification of our society is "boring." I find it sickening, horrendous and hellish—a distinct symptom of America's terminal disease.
Oh, I thought this was about former mayor Bloomberg.
I replied to this comment:
"Youre correct, but dont you think those boys in their prime were banging every chick in the fan queue?"
Song lyrics have been dirty since before I was born.
Sad for women. Sad for men.
What's wrong with slutshaming? Didn't feminists protest being objectifyied??
I bet men are confused. Women embrace twerking then tell men don't look at me like a slut! Don't hang a Porn mag in your office while women expose themselves on purpose.
so confusing/s
Quite right. Also boring.
That song was originally recorded by bluesman Robert Johnson in 1937. So it predates the Sexual Revolution of the 60s by several decades. Blues was sort of the rap music of its day, but more suggestive rather than blatant like most rap is.
"Sluts" SHOULD be ashamed. That's what the word MEANS - abusing sexuality to the level of shaming oneself.
If the word "slut" doesn't mean "shamed" anymore, then shame is removed from the concept of sexual self-abasement.
And that means that sexual self-abasement is denied as existing.
And that means that there is no way for girls to learn limits about sexuality - because there are no bottom-line standards.
And from that comes the intense self-loathing that is the root drive of liberalism.
Anyone else see a goal-seeking agenda here on the part of the Left, in the name of sexual "freedom"?
There's a difference between abusing the word "slut," and denying the existence of the meaning of the word "slut." The first is wrong, and should be stopped. The second is catastrophic, and destroys entire cultures.
It's only "boring" to those who are jaded on pornography, which is not a good way to be.
Her brother suddenly appears and towers over Tom and says, "Is that true?"
"Well, no one said whore. She inferred hooker ... but I meant slut."
By "boring" we're not necessarily referring to the lyrics, but more the music...it all sounds the same.
I really don't think it is necessary to be jaded by excessive exposure to porn to find it boring.
Really boring.
The worst is a song starts out with some potential, then there's a frickin' rap in the middle.....UGGGH!
The sad part is that it's not all pop stars. Look at photos of Adele, Lorde, Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson. There aren't many crotch shots, barely there body suits in this group. What do they have that Miley doesn't?
I guess we're just different. I find it repulsive and hellish.
Adele has sold a ton more records than Smiley Virus.
That was the push of radical feminism. In order to be 'equal' to men, women had to be as 'sexual' as men. They forgot that women are much more vulnerable, when it come to sex, than men are. They don't like it, and they try to argue it isn't so, but you can't argue with biology.
So young women are encouraged by radical feminism, through groups like Planned Parenthood, and the National Abortion Rights Action League, to 'be sexual', and the way they are encouraged to do so is to be sexually active, with as many partners as they prefer. With pop stars, it means to get up on stage and sing about sex, and dance and dress provocatively, This started with Madonna, and has gone downhill ever since.
The culture of the US is a vast wasteland.
The real point is that these women are selling sex. Nothing new there. And not a step forward. I guess these dames are too dumb to see that. Typical broads.
"I replied to this comment:
Youre correct, but dont you think those boys in their prime were banging every chick in the fan queue?
Song lyrics have been dirty since before I was born."
Try listening to some old Z Z Top.
I understand that owning and expressing our sexuality is a huge step forward for women. But, in my opinion, we are at a point of oversaturation.
It isn't a big step forward. Oversaturation happened a long time ago, and even that word is whitewashing it.
Turning girls into sluts practically before they can have babies is destroying the culture, along with turning boys into immoral barbarians.

Guides & Articles
- Mud FlapsMud Flaps Keep The Mud Where It BelongsIn the old days, when trucks were driven by farmers, contractors, and construction workers, and the rest of us drove cars, mud flaps were seen as one of the most utilitarian of accessories. When a plumber with a new pickup truck wanted to minimize how much slush splashed up on the sides of his new ride, he drove to the local car parts store, bought a set of universal mud flaps, drilled holes into his new fenders, and bolted them on. Perhaps they fit. He was lucky if they lasted more than a few winters.

This article originally appeared on Task & Purpose, a digital news and culture publication dedicated to military and veterans issues.
For years, military service has been recognized as one of the leading indicators of entrepreneurial success. According to a report by the U.S. Small Business Administration, veterans are 45% more likely to be entrepreneurs than non-veterans, and over 13% of veterans have been self-employed in recent years. The traits and skills our nation's service members possess make them great entrepreneurs.
That doesn't mean that service members automatically become experts on starting and running small businesses once they leave the military. Many get help. Over the last three years, more than 35,000 transitioning service members and spouses have participated in the Boots to Business entrepreneurship training program, organized by the Small Business Administration in collaboration with Syracuse University's Institute for Veterans and Military Families.
But not every veteran who wants to start a business has participated in Boots to Business, so as the curriculum development lead for the Boots to Business program, I culled through the program materials to identify and share the top five entrepreneurship lessons currently being taught at 180 military installations across the world.
Lesson 1: Leverage your military experience.
Leadership, resiliency, tenacity, perseverance, and passion are traits that compose a great service member. They are also associated with being a great entrepreneur or small business owner. Many veterans have already shown that their military skills make them great business leaders. Think Nike, FedEx and GoDaddy — all three companies were created by veterans and have grown into huge successes.
In order to leverage military skills, veterans should strategize their business goals using the acronym VICTORY:
Lesson 2: Assess the opportunity.
A major key to owning a successful business is recognizing the difference between an opportunity and an idea. An opportunity is "having the qualities of being attractive, durable, and timely and is anchored in a product or service that creates or adds value for its buyers or end users," as described in the Boots to Business Introduction to Business Ownership guide. On the other hand, an idea is a "light bulb moment" — a feeling or notion that on its own may not meet the criteria for an opportunity and could lead to a failed venture.
If you're looking to start a business, but aren't quite sure of how to generate ideas and opportunities, consider hosting a good old fashioned brainstorming session, conducting a focus group, or distributing a survey to gain ideas and find opportunities.
Lesson 3: Research your market to validate your plan.
When determining if your idea can become a business opportunity, try to think about whether or not there is a market need for what you are offering. In addition, you need to have someone to market to. It's important to think about:
You should complete thorough analyses of the industry, current market, and competition prior to launching a business. Students are required to examine their businesses from head to toe, looking at future market potential, financial feasibility, and potential buyers and sources of revenue; we recommend every budding veteran entrepreneur do the same.
Lesson 4: Know where to find funding.
It's important for a budding entrepreneur to consider financial feasibility prior to launching a business. Funding for business can come from many places, but the top three external sources for raising capital are, in order: friends and family members, bank loans, and outside investors.
Small Business Administration-guaranteed loans are an excellent form of funding for veteran startups. The SBA has many financial resources for veteran entrepreneurs, including a micro-loan program for smaller loan amounts, and offers money at good interest rates.
Another option to start a business is through self-financing, which means that the entrepreneur owns 100% of the company. This is the most common way that startups are financed, but because of the risk involved, makes it very important that you plan thoroughly in advance.
Lesson 5: Complete your feasibility analysis.
All Boots to Business participants work on a feasibility analysis during the course that can help them understand whether or not small business ownership is right for them and how to get organized and started. You can download that feasibility analysis here; while we can't walk you through it, the worksheet is an extremely useful thought exercise as you plan your entrepreneurial future.
Finally, if you now want to learn more, be sure to check out the Boots to Business: Reboot program, which is offering courses across the U.S. for veterans who still want to take advantage of free entrepreneurial training opportunities.

Academic excellence and instructional expenditures in Texas.
Date: August 2006
Creator: Helvey, Jearl Kenton
Description: Public school per pupil costs and demands for better performance have increased over the past several decades. While the overall per pupil expenditures have increased, the percent of the educational dollar directed toward instructional activities has remained at approximately 60%. A grass-roots movement known as the "65% Solution" caught national attention by claiming that schools are not efficiently allocating resources into areas that have the greatest link to student achievement, such as instruction. Proponents of the 65% Solution claim that per pupil expenditures can be increased by shifting funds from areas considered non-instructional to areas that directly impact student instruction, such as teachers and instructional materials. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between district Panel Recommended and Commended Performance TAKS Reading/ELA and Math results and three measurements of instructional expenditures, Instructional Staff Percent; TEA Instructional Expenditure Ratio; and the NCES Instructional Expenditure Ratio (65% Solution), in Texas public schools. Data was collected from the 2003-2004 AEIS report. Multiple regression was used to conduct the analyses. In most instances, there was little, if any, relationship between TAKS Reading/ELA and TAKS Math, and the Instructional Staff Percent (ISP), TEA Instructional Expenditure Ratio (TIER), and NCES Instructional Expenditure Ratio ...

The purposes of the study were to: (1) determine whether the Carnegie classifications of medical school applicants' institutions of origin are associated with academic performance in medical school; (2) consider the relationship between the admission selectivity of the schools of origin and the academic performance of medical school students; (3) compare the performance of medical students from institutions under public governing control with students from privately controlled institutions; and (4) establish a model by which the relative academic strengths of applicants from a variety of undergraduate institutions can be understood more clearly based on the previous performance of medical students from schools with similar institutional characteristics. A review of the literature on medical school admissions was completed and used to develop this research. Medical students from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas who enrolled between the years 1990 and 1994 and graduated or were dismissed between the years 1994 and 1998 were selected as the sample for the study (n=933). The undergraduate institution of origin for each student was coded based on its Carnegie classification, admissions selectivity group, and whether its governing control ...

Academic Reading Online: Digital Reading Strategies of Graduate-level English Language Learners
Date: May 2015
Creator: Knezek, Lois Ann
Description: English language learners (ELLs) face many linguistic and cultural challenges in their attempts to succeed academically. They encounter complex academic text, which is increasingly presented online. Although some research has addressed the challenges that university-level ELLs face when reading online texts, almost all of this prior work has focused on undergraduates. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the reading strategies employed by graduate-level ELLs when reading an academic English text online. Participating in the study were four foreign-born doctoral students from different first-language backgrounds—Arabic, Korean, Urdu, and Vietnamese—and the focus was on commonalities as well as differences among them. All four were enrolled in the same doctoral-level course, which included the reading of a specific online academic article as a course requirement. When reading this text individually, each student participated in a think-aloud procedure, followed by post-reading and discourse-based interviews. Analyses included unitizing data from the think-aloud protocols, coding units for strategies employed, and considering related interview commentary and classroom contributions. In their reading, these students made major use of problem-solving strategies, especially reading segments aloud and questioning. They also employed evaluative strategies as well as metacognitive strategies, which included affirming their understanding or indicating lack of ...

Academic Self-efficacy of Adult First-generation Students Enrolled in Online Undergraduate Courses
Date: August 2014
Creator: Jackson, Delores
Description: This study examined differences between adult first-generation (AFG) and adult-continuing generation (ACG) students' academic self-efficacy with regard to the online courses in which they were currently enrolled. The study used an online survey methodology to collect self-reported quantitative data from 1,768 undergraduate students enrolled in an online course at a mid-sized, four-year public university in the southwestern United States; 325 cases were usable for the study. The t-tests revealed no statistically significant differences between the academic self-efficacy of the AFG and ACG students. Parents' level of educational attainment was unrelated to adult students' academic self-efficacy with online courses. Ordinary least-squares analysis was used to evaluate student characteristics that might be associated with academic self-efficacy in the online environment. A combination of gender, GPA, age, race/ethnicity (White, Black, Hispanic, and other), and number of previous online courses predicted a statistically significant 12% of the variance in academic self-efficacy in an online environment (p < .001). Age (p < .001) and self-efficacy were positively correlated, meaning that adult students reported greater academic self-efficacy than did younger students; and number of previous online courses (p < .001) was also positively correlated to academic self-efficacy, indicating that students with greater experience with online courses ...

Academic, Social and Emotional Functioning of College Students with Attention Deficit/hyperactivity Disorder (Adhd)
Date: August 2015
Creator: McKelvy, Tara N.
Description: Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is frequently associated with negative occupational, social and psychological outcomes among community samples of adults; as such, it is expected that college students with ADHD face similar struggles. The research targeting this group of individuals, however, is sparse and tempered by significant limitations. The current study aimed to address methodological limitations in the current literature by including instruments to formally diagnosis ADHD and comorbid disorders, utilizing psychometrically sound instruments and comparing functioning of college students with ADHD across gender and subtype. It was hypothesized that participants with ADHD would report lower GPAs, higher levels of emotional distress and negative relationship characteristics than participants without ADHD. It was also hypothesized that participants with ADHD-combined type (ADHD-C) would report higher levels of substance and alcohol use than participants with ADHD-predominately inattentive type (ADHD-I), and that participants with ADHD-I would report higher levels of anxiety and depression than participants with ADHD-C. Women diagnosed with ADHD were expected to report higher levels of anxiety and depression than men diagnosed with ADHD; whereas, men diagnosed with ADHD were expected to report higher levels of substance and alcohol use than women. MANOVA, ANOVA and Mann-Whitney U tests were conducted to test hypotheses. ...

The Academic Steroid: Nonmedical Use of Prescription Stimulants at a North Texas University
Date: December 2014
Creator: Pennington, Cody W
Description: The goal of this study was to determine the extent, motivations, and justifications of nonmedical prescription stimulant use among the population at a large public university in the North Texas region. Participants consisted of 526 undergraduate students enrolled at the studied university during the spring and summer 2014 semesters. The findings of the study suggest that the nonmedical use by students was higher than the findings in much of the current literature, but was within the parameters established in the literature. The primary motivation for nonmedical use was academic in nature and was justified by moderation of nonmedical use to strategic academic times.

Hey gang, I'm pretty much "gone fishin' " for the next couple (three?) weeks. I'm tired, distracted, hot. Put a fork in me: I'm done.
I have a final kiddo class on Thursday, making paper mosaics. To that end, I was at the Library cutting down piles of old magazines and colored paper into strips. I cut a skateboarding magazine spine + a couple of inches and got these little spontaneous book bits. Accidental art.
I'll continue to share things on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook but will not press myself to do much else online. I'll be working on my Etsy shop some. My pal Jill Berry put together a lovely little logo! She's so smart with Photoshop.
Speaking of Jill, She's got a gorgeous new book out, Making Art From Maps. It's stunning, really. (And not just because I'm in it.) I wish there were more pics on Amazon but I'll review it in a few weeks. Super inspiring art inside.
So, there you have it. I'll be here, at the beach, making art (always). Just not sharing as much as usual. When I come home from vacation, I go (almost immediately) for my 3rd surgery of the year. I'll get back up on my feet. We do that, don't we? I heard Cory Booker's speech last night from the DNC. If you don't know him, he's currently a senator from NJ. We know and love him here in Philadelphia as the progressive, insightful and inspirational mayor of Newark, NJ. I'll leave you with his words from when he was growing up "gratitude is our gravity."
I'm grateful every day for all of you. You folks keep me real, keep me on my toes and inspire me. I love you all. Thanks.

It won't be possible to note any difference in these sitemap implementations, till: 1. XSLTC is used, and 2. Better (faster) key generation algorithm is implemented. These two points are major CPU eaters as of now, sitemap processing takes really small piece from the pie.
