You have got to be joking! Your rules for your son are a recipe for a life of therapy and anti-depressants.
"no crying under any circumstance, no emotional outbursts, no tantrums, no moodiness,"
Please, please, please tell me you are not serious about that. If you are, please do yourself a favor and get some counseling. Repressed anger eventually comes out, one way or another. Ask the students of Virginia Tech.
Yikes. I'm with phil in hoping that you're kidding.
Chuck is obviously too chill to raise a conscienceless social outcast prone to occasional bouts of Rambo-ism. Not that we don't all carry the potential.
Let's leave the VT emotion in another thread and let CM mull over how best to cope with his nekkid daughter.
CM's opposition to all forms of male crying has already been raised and roundly lambasted here. To be honest, I'm not sure why, if you're willing to enforce one arbitrary, unyielding set of rules on one of your offspring without regard for consequences, you have any compunction about enforcing another equally arbitrary and unyielding set of rules ("No nudity, ever," perhaps?) on the other one. What's important here is your comfort and assuredness in being correct, so squash those doubts way down, sir.
Best evidence suggests that repressed anger does not eventually come out. This began with a spin off of the "Bobo doll" study that suggested children who hit something, like a pillow or the famous bobo doll, to "let out" their anger feel angrier more often. Follow up studies suggest that people who repress their anger become less angry, not more angry.
Jackie Treehornbest slog post handle ever.
I don't have the answer, Charles, but keep in mind that your relationsip with her will greatly influence the husband she chooses (assuming she's into men) and the relationship she has with him. And I wish my wife would run around the house naked.
Good luck.
Every child need boundaries. I don't know if clothes in the house needs to be one of them. Maybe clothes out of the house, and when there are guests, and when she turns 7.
But what good is raising a free spirited little feminist daughter if you will not raise a free spirited little feminist son, too? That would be like only raising non-white children to be anti-racist. Unless you are joking (and I hope you are) I am sad to hear it sounds like you are raising son who will be oppressed by gender stereotypes about men, particularly about expressing his feelings. Maybe if men were taught that it's culturally okay to express themselves, there would be fewer mass murders, no? Perhaps that is one of the causes of repressed rage that explodes into violence?
Dude, you're totally fucked. If you haven't figured it out by now, she has you 100% dialed in.
I also worry your son is going to grow up to kill everyone in his school, let us know when your daughter turns 18.
Please tell me you're kidding. Repressive, enforcing of an alien standard on her freedom aside, you are her parent. If you want her clothed, as is the societal norm in American for every day life regardless of one's gender, tell her to put some clothes on. "There is a time and place for everything" is also an invaluable lesson to learn at a young age.
tell her to put some goddamn pants on! you're still the dad.
This explains a lot.
This bolsters my theory that "Charles Mudede" is in fact a made-up persona, intended to provoke and infuriate by advocating impossible positions.
I hope he's made up. Because his kids need to be in foster care.
charles, there are some unexamined statements in your post that i would like explained (not like you ever respond to commenters). why is she given lyrical status of "butterfly" while your son is just your "son" and what's with the "hands out of pockets"-- why is that necessary?
overall, strikes me you're scared of your daughter. #9 has hit it exactly.
literature ain't no open letter.
Yeah, Charles's kids should be in foster care you fucking retard. And @1, a Virginia Tech reference? What a fucking dufus you are, sir.
Throw some clothes on your girl, hustle up your boy and take 'em to the park, Charles. Buy 'em an ice cream. Make 'em do their homework, keep 'em out of trouble, keep 'em accountable, and they'll be fine.
if you don't tell boys not to cry, they'll cry all the time.
about the naked daughter: isn't she COLD all the time? that's what all the women in my house tell me 24/7. "i'm cold! turn the heat up to 67!"
I don't like giving any advice for how another person is to raise their children. Knowing Charles from this slog, with some of the most thoughtful and neutral wonderings, I take his questions as being rhetorical and not to be answered.
Foster care? So we're putting Chuck's kids on the same level of kids, I dunno, starved, deliberately drugged, beaten, strangled, and wait, killed? We've all read and bitched about Dan's "every child" posts. Are YOU guys serious?
that's what i'm sayin', daniel @ #20.
Aww. She has her clothes off because she's blissfully oblivious to her sexuality. These are the the last and only years of her life when society will afford her that luxury. It's in her home, so let her be.
Gotcha josh, didn't see your statement amongst all the 'in my humble opinion' comments.
Why are you treating your son like shit? Dude, get a grip and get parenting like you are supposed to. Mercy!
I too hope you're kidding about not letting your son cry, etc. If not, that's an ass-backwards way of raising a human. I feel sorry for him and dislike you more than ever.
the more the merrier daniel @ #24.
Indeed Marie@23
She keeps the clothes on at school - she understands.
My father used to yell at my Mom for letting me change into multiple costumes a day. Yeah, I totally love her more.
I used to take my clothes off in the middle of the living room, until my parents shamed me. What is so fucking wrong with childhood innocence? Are we all so voyeuristic that nudity becomes sinful? What good is this bubble of denied sex, if upon their 18th birthday, they'll readily whore themselves upon myspace? If we want to raise healthy kids, we must let them experience and accept their own bodies. I was not allowed this freedom. So I am one conflicted & fucked up gay man.
"no crying no matter what, no emotional outbursts"
Jesus, Charles. I always suspected that your over-intellectualization of even the simplest cultural phenomena was a shield to avoid engaging emotionally with the world - but I had no idea that you were this fucked up.
This is borderline emotional child abuse. Your son will likely grow up to hate you, with good reason. Jackass.
Thanks for the heads up, 30. I'm heartened by your assessment that the child abuse is, thankfully, only borderline.
does literate mean literal here?
Just beat them until their behavior conforms to your expectations...

Andy Warhol once predicted everyone would be famous for 15 minutes. He didn't say we would all be connected in an instant.
But we are. One touch of a button. One group email. One Facebook post. And boom! Everyone knows everything. Or everyone is in one place. They call it a flash mob. And it recently has shown its dark side, in London, Philadelphia and other places.
Crowds gather. Crowds turn to mobs. Mobs turn to riots. And they were all invited.
"Bare SHOPS are gonna get smashed up so come get some (free stuff!!!)" read one post prior to the recent London riots, where looting was rampant. Another read: "If you're down for making money, we're about to go hard in east London."
The proliferation of such messages sent across social media sites -- especially BlackBerry's messenger service -- had British authorities talking about limiting wireless access to prevent potential violence.
But how? How do you put genies back into their bottles -- in this case, a million genies in a million cellphones?
"It's instantaneous and it's anonymous," said Paul Wertheimer, founder of Crowd Management Strategies. "What we're looking at is the 21st-century mob."
The 21st-century mob. Just press send.
Anyone remember our protest rallies from the 1960s? We knew about them weeks in advance. There were posters. Phone calls. Bus trips. It took a lot of effort. And, despite the drugs flying around in those days, there was usually a reason to gather.
Today, not only do you not need a reason, such methodology would be like getting ice from a truck. Why call one person when you can text 1,000? Why tack up posters when you can digitally invite the world?
London is just the most recent example of crowds sprouting from digital seeds. Los Angeles has dealt with flash mob violence. Suburban Cleveland had an incident over the Independence Day holiday. This past week, San Francisco's rapid transit service shut down cellphone access to avert a suspected flash mob disruption. Philadelphia has been dealing with the problem for a while. Mostly young people gathering, getting violent.
Some have talked about blocking the signals of digital devices in certain volatile areas -- sort of like an instant jamming mechanism. But that supposes: 1) You can identify that area quickly. 2) You have the technology. 3) You're not also blocking legitimate use of those devices -- like an elderly person calling for an ambulance on a cellphone.
Ironically, the whole idea of flash mobs was originally to have fun. Spontaneous large-scale dancing. A worldwide pillow fight. But somehow that has been turned on its ear. What appealed to adventurous fun now appeals to disenfranchised anger or boredom.
And yet we can't deny the potential upside of social media. Look at what happened in Tunisia and Egypt. "Free flow of information can be used for good," British Prime Minister David Cameron told Parliament this past week. "But it can also be used for ill."
And that's your problem. The only thing that seems certain is that the world is going so much faster now, snap decisions, snap judgments, snap riots, snap coverage. We are teaching a dangerous, subtle message, that we can see everything in an instant, know everything in an instant, have an opinion on everything in an instant.
With that, inevitably, comes desire for everything in an instant -- including mayhem, violent thrills or whatever products you don't have but could loot.
The 21st-century mob. Assembled in the time it takes to make a sandwich. It is just me, or is the world truly a scary place?

Donald Douglas noted that Costco was paying dividends early, to get the money to its shareholders in 2012, before whatever happens to tax rates happens. I said that, "we will see a December full of news of early bonuses and dividend payouts to enable investors to avoid looming higher taxes."
As much as I'd like to pat myself on the back and crow about my prescience, that one was about as difficult as predicting that the sun will rise in the east. From
Oracle to Pay Three Dividends in December
By DEBBIE CAI
Oracle Corp. said it will pay dividends for the next three quarters early, joining other companies that are accelerating payouts ahead of likely tax increases next year.
The software company will shell out a dividend totaling 18 cents a share on Dec. 21 for its second, third and fourth quarters in fiscal 2013. Oracle typically pays a quarterly dividend of six cents a share and was scheduled to pay its next one in February.
Oracle's chief executive and largest stockholder, Larry Ellison, didn't participate in the deliberation or the vote on this matter, the company said.
Mr. Ellison owns about 1.1 billion shares of Oracle, or about a 23% stake, and stands to receive about $198.9 million from the accelerated dividend.
Much more at the link. But, according to my precise calculations, Mr Ellison, who will receive about $198.9 million in dividends, will owe $29.8 million in taxes on that distribution, if all are qualified dividends. Assuming that his other income is sufficient to place all of the dividends into the 35% marginal bracket if they were treated as ordinary income, which will be the case if the 2001/2003 tax cuts are not extended, Mr Ellison would owe $69.6 million in taxes on the distribution under the 2012 tax rates, or $78.4 million if the rate rises to the 2000 level of 39.4%, and he had taken the dividend in 2013. He may well save close to $50 million in taxes; is it any wonder that Oracle would choose an earky distribution?
The JOURNAL includes an interactive graphic noting 105 corporations which have announced special dividend payouts in 2012, specifically to beat the possible tax hike deadline.
Some companies, such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc., have chosen to accelerate dividends into December from 2013, while others, such as Las Vegas Sands Corp., have announced special dividends that will be paid before year-end.
Corporations exist for the sole purpose of making money for their shareholders. They do other things, primarily producing goods or services to sell in the economy, things which create jobs for working Americans, but all of those things are done to serve their raison d'être, earning money. And corporate leadership across the country can see that tax increases are probable for many of their shareholders, and that the tax rate on dividends may well double or more. These corporate leaders owe their loyalty to their shareholders, and they are doing the right thing for their shareholders.
Most corporate leaders opposed the re-election of President Obama, understanding that his policies would be bad for business and bad for their shareholders; now, they are doing what they can to minimize the harm his re-election will do to their shareholders.
If we had a simple system, such as I advocated here, we wouldn't be seeing corporations taking steps like this to avoid tax liability; there would be no advantage to it. But as long as we retain a punish-the-producers tax system, counterbalanced with all sorts of loopholes, incentives and the like, such things will continue.

fun2ridefast: I live in Missouri and am an avid turkey hunter. I've seen turkey's picking seeds out of cow manure and that's that analogy I see with this article. All the democrats know what they've got with Hillary and they disregard the tainted past and jump on board the free gravy train she's offering. It's a joke. We are about twenty trillion in the hole so how can we give free college tuition away while still supporting the dregs who refuse to work and level the national debt out? NO WAY! It's pie in the sky which is what the liberals have to offer but can't come through with. A good example is our first black president. What's happened to race relations during his two terms? It's gone backwards fifty years because he won't make his own race accountable for their actions. The prime example of that is BLM and the lie's they founded on. Michael Brown was a felon who tried to disarm a police officer following a battery felony and was killed in the process. A grand jury found the officer innocent of wrong doing but he lost his job. Is that justice? I don't think so. It's time for radical change and Hillary can't do it. She's a pimple on Bill's rear end and wouldn't be here if it weren't for his influence. The Clinton's are an influence peddling, money making machine that nobody will mess with but Trump will.

With each successive technology generation, process and environmental variations consume an increasingly large portion of the design envelope. To mitigate the impact of these variations, designs can incorporate adaptive techniques to reduce the impact. At the core of adaptability is the fundamental idea that each piece of silicon is different and will respond differently to stimuli. This poses a significant challenge in testing the product because testing relies on all parts behaving in a predictable manner every time they are tested. This article details adaptive techniques used on a dual-core, 90-nm Itanium microprocessor, and the issues and limitations encountered when testing this design.

I have been through every step in the sticky post above and still I cannot upload an image to my blog. I get an "http error" message with the flash uploader and an "Error 500 - Internal server error" with the 'browser uploader'.
Some more information:
1. The image I am trying to upload is a color .jpg file, 1024 x 768 and 73KB in size
2. The file permissions of my upload directory are set to 777
3. I am using Firefox 3.0.1 with the latest Flash plugin
4. I have added the mod_security code to an .htaccess file in the root directory and wp_admin directory
This problem is also occurring in IE7.
Are there any definitive fixes for this issue yet as I have been searching for hours now.

I've had the widget live for a few hours now and stream stauses still aren't showing. Any ideas?
I see that it's working on your website with the dev version.
It will be released soon.
It was working last week, but all today it's been frozen, saying one of our streamers is live with 275 viewers (though he's actually offline).
I see. Can you install current dev version and see if it fixes the issue?
Tried the new version, but same problem. It seems that if a streamer doesn't logout, the stream status freezes when they go offline?
1. Can you elaborate on what you mean by 'if a streamer doesn't logout'?
2. Are you using any caching plugin?
3. Can you send me WP_DEBUG log? Use the following in your
wp-config.php to turn it on and route to wp-content/debug.log:
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
if (WP_DEBUG) {
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);
After enabling it, do some refreshes, wait 5+ minutes, refresh, try deactivate/activate plugin, etc. (basically do some workflow) and check
By the way, stream status is refreshed every 5+ minutes, maybe that is the case?
Just checked your website, it's working well. Open a new thread if there are any other issues.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Danvers, MA-based Cell Signaling Technology (CST) has granted molecular diagnostics firm Cepheid a nonexclusive license to its patent for a method to detect gene rearrangements of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), used in PCR-based tests. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Using CST technology, Cepheid will be developed a test to detect ALK gene rearrangements in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the IP-granting firm said. According to CST, preliminary research has shown that approximately 3% to 5% of NSCLC tumors show ALK rearrangements. Along with one of its partners, CST said it holds the majority of IP rights for methods to detect EML4-ALK translocation in cancer cells.
"We are very pleased with the fact that the cooperation of the Cepheid, in which we will develop molecular research and diagnostic solutions for the detection of fusion gene EML4-ALK," Michael J. Comb, Ph.D., CST president and CEO, said in a statement. "We believe that it is the logical step associated with the development of our portfolio of patents and research in the field of improving the detection of EML4-ALK expression that enable more effective diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients."

Mr Cerf, known as one of the fathers of the internet, acknowledges that he and co-founder Bob Kahn didn't think enough about security when they built the framework for the web. He shares a view held by a growing number of experts that the best way to defend against cyberattacks might be to simply start again, with "Internet 2".
"I would have put a much stronger focus on authenticity or authentication – where did this email come from, what device I am talking to . . . those things are elements that would make a big difference," Mr Cerf says.

However, that [Facebook] left Cerf bombarded with information about "what these friends were doing" news he conceded "I couldn't care about". He contrasted that with Google's rival Google+ system, which uses a system of 'circles' to allow members to distinguish between different spheres of connection, such as family and work colleagues - which Cerf argued gives people more control over who they share news and personal information with.

DES MOINES, Iowa - Tiny robotic surgical equipment was made even tinier to handle the youngest and smallest patient yet to be treated using the technology: a 5-day-old, 8-pound boy who had a cyst pressing against his lung.
David Dornbusch underwent the surgery a week ago at Blank Children's Hospital and was sent home five days later, doctors said Tuesday. The surgery to remove the cyst required just four incisions, each about the size of a dime.
"It's just like little cat scratches that are healing on their own. He didn't even need stitches," said David's mother, Colette Evans, 20, of Des Moines.
David's surgery demonstrates that the technology can be successfully used on babies, said pediatric surgeon Dr. Michael Irish, a neonatal specialist who conducted the procedure using a da Vinci robotic surgical system. The surgery required the designers of the system to shrink the scope that carries the camera inside the body.
Prior to David's surgery, the youngest patient to undergo robotic surgery was 4 months old, and the smallest weighed just under 15 pounds. Both had surgery at Blank.
In May, a 6-pound baby underwent surgery at a Tennessee hospital using a robotic surgical system in conjunction with more traditional laparoscopic surgery, Irish said.
In laparoscopy, doctors also perform surgery through small incisions, but they control the instruments used more directly than they do in robotic surgery.
The robotic system allows doctors to see inside the body in three dimensions and operate using tiny precision instruments.

New plans in Iran to control social media access
Iran's police chief says the Islamic Republic is developing new software to control social networking sites.
Gen. Esmail Ahmadi Moghadam was quoted in Iranian newspapers Saturday as saying the new software will prevent Iranians from being exposed to malicious content online while allowing users to enjoy the benefits of the Internet. He did not say when the software would be introduced. Moghadam also did not specify which social networking sites would be affected, but both Facebook and Twitter are popular in Iran.
Iranians currently have access to most of the Internet, although authorities block some sites affiliated with the opposition, as well as those that are seen as promoting dissent or considered morally corrupt.
Iran created a government agency last year to oversee Internet usage in the country.

Seriously, guys (or gals)... it's not that hard. After reading all the tries & failures here, I was worried I would have trouble getting this. I got it on the FIRST ATTEMPT! Look for the place on the map that has a circular area - it's the "racetrack!" Like they say, start at the buildings... and use your boost at the beginning until it runs out - then let it FULLY RECHARGE. Drive under the flags, and when you are going through the tunnel/cavern - DO NOT BOOST - save it until you have to jump. Take the shortcut on the left inside the tunnel (be watching for it - you can't miss it). When you come out of that side tunnel, "boost" across the gap, and head to the left and keep driving under the flags... the achievement should pop before you know it!

If you are struggling with this one try starting a bit further back at the beginning. I followed the video a few times and it didn't work but then I started a bit further back and boosted through the start line and then followed the video and it worked.

Internet Petition: Drop Charges Against Bartow Student Accused of Detonating Explosives
Published: Friday, May 3, 2013 at 12:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 3, 2013 at 12:04 a.m.
BARTOW | A firestorm is burning on dozens of social media websites following a report about a 16-year-old Bartow girl who was suspended and faces criminal charges on allegations she detonated a bottle containing explosive materials during school.
The Ledger reported her arrest April 22, the day the incident occurred. More than a week later, Internet websites from change.org to soundcloud.com began pushing for authorities to drop the charges against Kiera Roslyn Wilmot of Bartow.
By Thursday night, more than 28,500 supporters had signed an Internet petition initiated by an Oregon woman asking the Bartow Police Department and State Attorney Jerry Hill to drop the charges against Wilmot.
Bartow police reports allege that Wilmot, a junior at Bartow High School, was behind the school's cafeteria when she combined toilet bowl cleaner and aluminum foil in a small water bottle, and the bottle exploded. Principal Ron Pritchard said he was close enough to hear it, and thought it was a firecracker.
She was arrested as a juvenile on allegations of making or possessing a destructive device and doing so on school property, Bartow police reports show.
Lakeland lawyer Larry Hardaway, who's representing Wilmot, said the girl was conducting an experiment for a science class, although Pritchard and the girl's science teacher said they weren't aware of it and wouldn't have allowed that kind of experiment.
Hardaway concurred that Wilmot hadn't told her teacher.
"Her teacher wasn't aware of it," he said. "She hadn't told her teacher what her experiment was before she brought it to class."
Hardaway, who said he's instructed Wilmot and her mother not to talk publicly about the incident, said the girl was testing the experiment that morning.
According to Bartow police reports, Wilmot told authorities a friend had told her how to make the device. She said she brought the materials from home, and she didn't know what would happen when they were mixed together.
"Wilmot advised she thought it would just cause some smoke," the report states.
Pritchard said about half a dozen students were in the area, but no one was hurt and there was no damage to school property.
Wilmot told police she had a friend with her, but as of Thursday, authorities haven't identified that person.
Rosa Walsh, a chemistry professor at Polk State College, said this kind of explosive material can be dangerous.
"It depends on how much material was in the bottle," she said Thursday. "It has the potential to be a little pop or it has the potential to be very dangerous.
"I can tell you we wouldn't do that experiment unless we were in a lab with goggles and gloves," she said.
Walsh said the chemical combination of the cleaner and the foil generates hydrogen gas, which produces heat and increases the pressure in the bottle.
"If the bottle shatters, you could run into the possibility of burns from the chemicals inside," she said.
Wes Bridges, the school district's legal counsel, said explosive devices are prohibited on any school property unless they are used in a legitimate school activity that is supervised by an instructor with the approval of the school's principal.
The school resource officer at Bartow High School contacted Assistant State Attorney Tammy Glotfelty, director of the juvenile division, regarding the incident, and she recommended the charges that were brought against Wilmot.
She was taken into custody and released later that day from the Polk Juvenile Assessment Center.
Chief Assistant State Attorney Brian Haas said Thursday that prosecutors received the police reports this week and are just beginning their inquiry into the incident.
"We haven't decided yet if she will be charged as a juvenile or an adult, or if we will move forward with the current charges," he said.
"These are the charges at the onset of the case, and there's been no determination officially where it will go from here."
Pritchard said Wilmot is a good student who's had no disciplinary problems at the school.
"I think she came to the office at the beginning of the year because her skirt was too short, but that's all," he said.
"She's never been a problem for us."
As a result of this incident, he said, the school is seeking to expel Wilmot, based on the School District's code of conduct.
"For now, she's been suspended as we go into the appeal process," he said.
Hardaway said Wilmot is challenging the proposed expulsion.
He said Pritchard suspended Wilmot for 10 days and has recommended that she be expelled for one year, which is called for in the district's code of conduct.
But further proceedings at the district level regarding Pritchard's recommendation have been suspended until the criminal allegations can be considered, Hardaway said.
In a prepared statement, the Polk County School District stated Thursday it's conducting its own investigation while cooperating with law enforcement on the criminal case.
"The result of the criminal investigation may affect the District's disciplinary recommendation," the statement reads.
Hardaway said he hopes school administrators and prosecutors will consider the circumstances surrounding the incident when evaluating this case.
"I hope they can appreciate what happened and can fit whatever consequences are necessary to what actually occurred."

The M1330 ran for 2 hours, 23 minutes on our DVD battery drain test, using the included six-cell battery. That's not bad, but nearly an hour less than the latest 13-inch MacBook, a testament to Apple's emphasis on battery life. Our DVD battery drain test is especially grueling, so you can expect longer life from casual Web surfing and office use. Dell offers a nine-cell battery option, but it's an exceptionally large battery for such a tiny system.
Though Dell has moved to a 90-day standard warranty on its less expensive models, the company covers the XPS line with a one-year warranty, which provides free parts and labor with on-site service. You can get help through Dell's 24-7, toll-free tech-support number, with special reps exclusively for XPS owners. Dell also offers a fairly robust set of support tools on the actual laptop, including 10GB of online backup space and the new Automated PC TuneUp utility, which can either show you how to perform basic performance optimization or take care of it automatically (for a small fee after the 30-day trial).

The second release from North Carolina's The Love Language sounds like lo-fi, effects-laden '60s pop guided by crooning vocals. Many of the songs embody bubblegumish whimsy with an underlying creepiness—on "Horophones," Stuart McLamb sweetly sings, "If all good children go to heaven then all good children die." Meanwhile, other songs are mere acoustic ballads that eventually sweep into compositions of shoegaze proportion. If you only pick one track to download (because CDs are old hat, right?), go for the upbeat melancholy of "Brittany's Back." (JCC)

Essay - Learning and Memory in the Field of Psychology, Theories on...
Learning and Memory
In the field of psychology, theories on learning have been closely linked to either classical c*****ditioning or operant conditioning, the*****ies developed by Ivan Pavlov ***** BF Skinner, respectively. Learning as determined by ***** ***** is posited ***** be part of associative learning, wherein an individual learns that two events are related or linked (at the most, even A causes *****t B) (Santrock, 2000:188). This definition also operates in operant conditioning, ***** an ***** wherein "consequences of behavior produce changes in the probability of ***** behavior's occurrence" (195). Another school ***** thought about learning places cognitive development as playing a m*****jor role. In cognitive psychology, ***** occurs because of the presence and operation of "***** maps" within an individual. These 'cognitive *****' are defined ***** ***** "organism's mental representation of ***** structure of physical space" (208). This concept represents learning as a relationship between the mind of the individual ***** his or her physical environment. ***** takes place in his ***** her interaction with the environment, and through the cognitive maps, s/he was able to retain these events and recall them as part of ***** or her *****.
This, in effect, links learning to mem*****y. Memory is likened to the idea ***** ***** maps, or at le*****t ***** way cognitive maps oper*****e in the mind of the individual. ***** is described as processing information through encoding (getting information and memory), storage (*****ing ***** over time), and retrieval (taking information out ***** storage) (219). ***** processes that the ***** goes through to create and retain memory ***** highly related to the theories of learning enumerated earlier: classical conditioning posits that stimuli (a memory of an event) is needed to elicit a p*****rticular behavior from the individual; ***** conditioning described learning as ***** ***** in ***** of the person, linked also to the memory of an event and its consequences; ***** l*****tly, ***** maps, which aptly describes how an individual learns through memories mapped ***** and retain in h*****/her mind.

Did Tony LaRussa hold a grudge in snubbing Cueto? Or is this choice actually justified?
On Sunday afternoon, when the All-Star rosters were announced, rapid reactions came pouring in trying to decide which players were snubbed from playing in the Midsummer Classic. The scrutiny, like everything these days, began instantaneously. Whispers, screams, and angry tweets flooded baseball's mainstream, spitting cases for rejected players that deserved a trip to Kansas City. One name seemed to ring loudest among experts and fans alike: Reds' ace Johnny Cueto.
Already, there are speculations that Tony LaRussa's choice to leave Johnny Cueto off the All-Star roster might go deeper than his play on the field. LaRussa may be retired, but he hasn't forgotten the animosity between his beloved Cardinals and division rival Reds. Cueto's role in their now infamous brawl, in which a panicked moment led him to kick Jason Larue in the head, didn't earn him many friends in the city of St. Louis. It was an ugly scene…a scene that has some people wondering today if its lingering effects kept LaRussa from penciling "Cueto" into one of the National League pitching slots.
But, for a second, let's put the conspiracies aside. On its surface, this decision appears asinine in its dismissal of a first-place team's ace in favor of seven other starting pitchers. Cueto has been a key piece to the Reds' early season run, as perhaps their only symbol of consistency not named Votto. How could he not be an All-Star? This is clearly a snub, right?
The answer isn't so simple. It seems like LaRussa may have a legitimate case for leaving Cueto off the roster. At the least, it's close –very close.
LaRussa had an embarrassment of riches in choosing from this year's National League pitchers. As I recently wrote about, the league has entered the Era of the Pitcher, and as a result, several guys are posting games and numbers worth rewarding this season.
The list of All-Star starters may have unfairly omitted Cueto's name…but it isn't a list on which you will find any scrubs. All of these guys are having seasons that not only stuff the stat sheet, but also have put their teams in position to contend.
Just take a look at the stats:Name (W-L) ERA Shutouts WHIP* Innings WAR* Ks/9 IP RA Dickey 12-1 2.15 2 .885 113 3.8 9.2 Matt Cain 9-3 2.53 2 .950 113.7 2.4 9 Gio Gonzalez 10-3 2.78 0 1.081 90.2 2.5 10.7 Stephen Strasburg 9-3 2.81 0 1.078 93 2.3 11.8 Cole Hamels 10-4 3.08 0 1.099 111 2.2 9 Clayton Kershaw 5-4 2.74 1 1.043 108.1 2.5 8.6 Lance Lynn 10-4 3.62 0 1.247 97 1.3 9.1
*WHIP=Walks plus Hits/Inning Pitched, WAR=Wins Above Replacement
Some of these choices are obvious All-Stars. R.A. Dickey, for example, has to be on anyone's Cy Young Leaderboard (as George wrote about recently). He's at the top or close in almost every statistical category, he's thrown back-to-back one-hitters, and he's the ace on a relevant Mets team. There's no disputing his worthiness. And the same goes for Matt Cain. Not only did he pitch a perfect game, one of this season's best highlights, but he's eating innings and winning games for a Giants team that's fighting back for first place in the West. While Tim Lincecum has struggled from the start, Cain has been a pillar for consistency. And Strasburg does more than strike out a lot of guys –his game and the attention he draws transcends stats. He draws crowds and excitement (Chapman might be the only other pitcher in the NL with similar hype and excitement paid to his pitches). Even if he doesn't rank high in every category, he's a star. It's as simple as that. The people want to see him pitch.
And Cueto is not exactly blowing the rest of these names out of the water. Looking at these pitching categories, he wouldn't finish first on this list in any of them. Here's the breakdown of his season:
2012: 9-4 (tied 5th on this list), 2.26 ERA (2nd), 0 shutouts (tied 4th), 1.142 WHIP (7th), 107.2 innings pitched (5th), and a 3.4 WAR (2nd).
When added to this list of seven All-Stars, that's an average position of 4.7 out of eight across all of these pitching categories. Compared to the pitchers LaRussa selected, that's hardly setting himself apart.Pitcher Average Position (out of R.A. Dickey 1.4 Matt Cain 3.1 Gio Gonzalez 4.1 Clayton Kershaw 4.6 Johnny Cueto 4.7 Stephen Strasburg 4.7 Lance Lynn 5.7
As the statistics point out, Cueto is by no means a snub in the sense that he belongs on the top of this list of pitchers. He's been great, yes, but so have several others. If he is a snub, it's not as glaring as some are making it out to be –it's close; it's a matter of inches and innings, a strikeout here and a strikeout there, and perhaps, an ill-advised kick to the head.
But there is one glaring choice on this list. If Cueto is, indeed, a snub, then the obvious wrong choice is Lance Lynn. This only fuels fire to the accusations of LaRussa's bias. Lynn is a St. Louis Cardinal who debuted in LaRussa's final year as a manager. He is also, by far, the lowest performing pitcher on this list. His ERA is nearly six points higher than anyone else on this list, his WAR a point lower, his WHIP a point higher. He ranks at the bottom of four categories. His best category is the most overrated stat on this list –pitching wins. As Felix Hernandez proved in winning the Cy Young Award, sometimes, you can only win as many games as your offense allows you to win. Whether or not Cueto is an All-Star snub, it seems equally likely that Lynn was an All-Star reach.
It took only seconds for Sunday's All-Star selections to draw scrutiny and second-guesses. Immediately, the question that filled the airways and the twitter-verse was this: Did Johnny Cueto get snubbed? Did LaRussa let a baseball brawl strip a young man from the chance of a lifetime –to stand amidst the best of the best in Kansas City?
The answer cannot so simply and instantaneously be answered. The numbers show that Cueto, while currently having a great season, is no slam-dunk All-Star in this new era of pitching prominence. He's one of several men of the mound that deserve a shot. But there are only so many roster spots –only so many National League jerseys.
But there is one truth that should certainly elicit pause in considering LaRussa's choice. He has never given a (you-know-what) about advanced statistics or what the numbers tell you. He's old school, and it's unlikely that his decision on filling roster spots involved WHIP and WAR. It seems more likely that something else came into play –something beyond the stats.
R.A. Dickey's a great story, and an obvious choice. Matt Cain threw a perfect game. Stephen Strasburg is a phenom. Clayton Kershaw is defending a Cy Young Award. Cole Hamels is the head-of-the-class of Philadelphia's dream-team rotation. Gio Gonzalez has switched leagues without missing a beat. These are stories that go beyond the numbers.
But so is Cueto's. Cincinnati is relevant again in the world of baseball, much thanks to the work on the mound by the smiling Johnny Cueto. But that also might be part of the problem; Cincinnati is spelled across his chest. Across Lynn's, the stitches read St. Louis. LaRussa is a legendary coach that demands respect. But this decision certainly raised some eyebrows –and it's not because of the statistics.
It's because the supposed snub of Johnny Cueto may be a retribution two seasons in the making. With the choice of Lance Lynn, and the subsequent omission of Johnny Cueto, Tony LaRussa, from the shadows of retirement, may have just kicked back.
