Students must learn and remember complex knowledge to do well in school. How can students use knowledge about memory to help remember their course material? We will start with ancient memory improvement techniques that are still useful in specialized situations. Then we will review some concrete advice, backed up by research, which can help in almost any situation. Finally, we will examine the cases of some exceptional memorists—people whose talent with memory sets them apart from normal—to see what methods they use
Why are mnemonic systems effective?
Mnemonics (nem-ON-icks) are organizing systems that provide a way of retrieving desired information. If retrieval is the weak link in memory, then encoding schemes designed to promote retrieval are the main solution for improving memory. Mnemonic systems are designed for this purpose. They are encoding systems aimed at improving memory retrieval.
As you might recall, natural language mediation is the art of using language (sentences, sayings, little stories) to organize memory and improve retrieval. In the section on Ebbinghaus, we saw that subjects would turn nonsense syllables into words, sometimes made-up words, and weave these words into a sentence. That is a form of natural language mediation.
How did one student use a "first letter mnemonic" in Biology?
If you have to memorize a long list of items in exact order, a handy technique is to create a sentence using the first letter of each word as a retrieval cue. This is called a first-letter mnemonic.
One student used first-letter mnemonics extensively.
As I went through high school, I found it very difficult to remember a long list of items for an exam. I often made up a saying that involved the first letter of each item. This is called a mnemonic system of learning. For mitosis, I remembered I Pick Maters And Taters for the phases of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. For the classifications of animals I learned Kittens and Pigs Climb Over Fences Going South, which stood for kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, group, and species. For my post office box combination I say to myself that Becky Said Hi Then Left. My combination is BC-HI-EF. For the 4 bases of DNA and RNA, I remember The Cat Got Ann, Ann Got Cut Up. The 4 bases of DNA are Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine, Adenine, and the 4 bases of RNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Uracil. This mnemonic system of learning helped me make it through high school and is presently helping me make it through college. [Author's files]
One can also make a sentence in which the number of letters in each word encodes digits. To remember the mathematical term pi to 14 decimal places, simply remember the sentence, "How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the eight chapters involving quadric mechanics." Counting the letters in each word yields 3.14159265358979.
There is no special rule for creating mnemonic devices based on natural language mediation, except that the sentence or word must itself be memorable. A mnemonic trick does you no good unless you can remember the trick.

The defense was pretty mediocre this year but Mattison gets a pass for what he did in year 1. Talent right now is limited and further hurt by injury. I think D will be ok going forward. Also, Carlos Hyde is really good.
Ohio State 42, Michigan 41
The lasting image of this game will be Devin Gardner, injured, spent, and devastated, flat on his back after his pass on the potential game-winning two-point conversion found Buckeye instead of Wolverine.
It's a shame, really, as Gardner gave one of great performances in the history of The Game today, leading a Michigan offensive explosion beyond anybody's wildest predictions. Gardner threw for 451 yards and four touchdowns, rushed for 34 yards and another score (above, Upchurch), and did all this despite clearly playing at less than 100%. The trio of running backs combined for 137 yards and another score on 24 carries; Al Borges, the offensive line, and the skill position players all had their best performances in over a month—603 total yards against the 13th-ranked defense in the country.
After Gardner lobbed a two-yard jump ball to Devin Funchess to make the score 42-41, Brady Hoke asked his seniors if they wanted to go for two and the win; Taylor Lewan said after the game that, to a man, the answer was yes. In a game that calls for cliché, they left it all on the field.
Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog
The Buckeyes did too, of course. The Michigan defense simply couldn't find a way to stop Braxton Miller (153 yards and three rushing TDs) and Carlos Hyde (226 yards and a score on 27 carries) on the ground; when OSU went to the air, they didn't hit often—Miller finished just 6/15 on the day—but when they did it went big, as Miller's six completions went for 133 yards and two more touchdowns. Missing safety Jarrod Wilson and weakside LB James Ross, not to mention focusing heavily on stopping the run, the defense repeatedly allowed big plays over the middle. By the time the Buckeyes got the ball with five minutes left and the game knotted at 35, the defense looked gassed and played like it, ceding a one-yard scoring plunge by Hyde to cap a six-play, 65-yard drive that featured exclusively runs.
Gardner was masterful in the two-minute drill, finding Funchess, then Drew Dileo twice, then Joe Reynolds, Justice Hayes, and Toussaint to move the Wolverines 82 yards before netting the final two and six points on the lob to Funchess. Michigan tried to free up a receiver on a rub route on the two-point conversion; the Buckeyes had it covered, though, and Gardner's hopeful throw landed in the arms of Tyvis Powell.
Michigan didn't just give Ohio State a fight—quite literally, in a couple instances (above, Fuller)—they played their part in an instant classic. Devin Gardner might've ended the game on his back; I'll remember all the times he got up before that, and what he did while he was standing, above all else.
I don't believe in moral victories, but if they did exist, this would be it. I can't imagine the team or the fans will hang their heads for long about that loss, lowered expectations or not. They left it all out there and as cliched as it is, this is truly one of those games where it's a shame someone has to lose.
I can't wait to see what this team looks like healthy and with another month to iron out some kinks in the bowl game. I don't think I could have predicted that before this game that I would be this excited for whatever bowl game we end up at.
It's what happens with young players. Inconsistency, blown assignments, and sometimes just getting manhandled by older, stronger players. Today it happened on defense instead of offense.
I'm glad Borges, and Hoke, and Brandon, and Mattison ignore AA Torch & Pitchfork and the rabid fan base. I completely do NOT believe Michigan is settling for mediocrity with Borges, and I believe that 2015 is the year.
- With all of Gardner's experience, and Morris having two full years of practice, and Speight coming in as well,
- with Harris and Ways being added as Wide Receivers, and Campbell in 2015,
- with the Offensive Line solidifying and several great guys coming in every class,
- with Green and Smith at RB, and Harris coming in 2015,
our offense is going to be not just fine, but great. Michigan is not going to be easy for MSU and Nebraska and Penn State and Iowa to push around. While we won't be all there by next year, the team is going to be vastly different, and soon. Our record next year will improve, and we'll be competing for the Big 10 title by 2015, bigger things by 2016.
Most of the positives you listed are recruitimg based. What has Borges dkne to ahow he can effectively use and improve existing talent. I saww nothing in that regard over the season. Playcalling has also been really bad for large chunks of the season. 27 for 27 etc.
I don't agree with the call to go for it. At home I say you play for OT when anything can happen instead of risking everything on one play. But I understand why Hoke did it and wished we would have pulled off the upset of the ages. To come so close and lose is a bitter pill.
What is so frustrating is that it seems for the last ten years, Ohio State finds ways to win games like this and we find ways to lose. They win ugly,
When was the last time Michigan actually pulled off the big upset? Feels like forever.
Going for it guarantees the game is decided on your most favorable matchup (M Offense vs OSU Defense) that has gone well all day.
I don't mind the play call either, the timing route is a solid choice when your QB has been playing well and you want to be able to get the ball off fast, understanding that your offensive line won't hold up that well and that OSU has been gunning for the rollout/option all day.
I think going for the jugular here was correct.
Also, overtime is a bad idea when your kicker isn't 100%.
I think the short field favors the team that can run better, and that was clearly OSU. Also, as you mention, we were shaky from a field goal perspective. i was hoping they went for 2, and kind of surprised when they did. But the only way I think we could have won in overtime would have been to force a turnover. I think our odds of completing the 2 point-conversion were better than our odds of forcing a turnover before they beat us in overtime.
These seniors should be proud. They never gave up. It could have gotten ugly down two scores in the second half. The amount of young guys making an impact in this game shows plenty of promise for next year.
With the call to go for two. Well, I was okay with it if we could catch them off guard, but after they have a TO to set up. No. However . . . if the players called it, then I guess it's forgivable.
You don't really think we had a shot in OT without Gibbons and a hobbling Gardner? That was the time to win the game.
There is that as well.
asked the seniors what they wanted to do. These seniors have been through a lot. He has a great knack for being in tune with these kids. Just needs to get a better handle on what is happening on the offensive side of the ball. If he can accomplish that he will be a complete coach.
The decision to go for 2 was probably already made in Hoke's mind before he asked the seniors - the players are always going to say "go for the win" - you only ask if that is what you are going to do anyways
Exactly. You don't ask them unless ur already going for it. You know they are going to say yes.
Man, would've been awesome if we'd won
We played much better but not good enough and I'm never happy, losing to the Evil empire!
I predicted our offense would stay dead. My final score prediction was OSU 38, Michigan 6. So Devin and the offense obviously gave me some hope. Very proud of them. It was annoying as hell that Borges waited until the 12th game of the season to try some different things but that's not exactly surprising either.
The truly sad part is even if we had scored on that 2-point conversion, I could still picture OSU marching straight down the field, just like they had all day, in the 30 seconds they would have had left to kick the field goal to win it. Braxton is dangerous, but the D made it too easy for him. He barely had to try on two of his touchdown runs. Just take two steps to the left, and he's walking into the end zone untouched.
The defense was the biggest and most shocking disappointment this year. They made Akron look like world beaters, they made 18 year old Christian Hackenburgh look like Tom Brady, they made Indiana's offense look like Pete Carrol's USC teams, they didn't have a prayer against OSU. It was just really heartbreaking all year long. Defense was supposed to be the strength of this team. We knew going into the season that the O-line was going to be a major issue.
I love Michigan. I will always root for them no matter what stroke inducing thing they do to me. But it was really depressing watching how much they regressed throughout the season and then to finish their final season game like...that. I hated the fact that I wanted football season to be over in mid-October....which is something I always said when RichRod was here. I just hate this feeling.
GO BLUE always.
I'll probably get torn a new asshole shortly, but...
This team is short on expereince on both side of the ball. REALLY short. That's been our biggest issue all year. The trajectory is up as a result as we return a huge percentage of starters/two deep.
Thanks, though, for recognizing that there were frustrations coming from Not Al Borges during the season.
I agree with everything you said. Maybe it takes old and grouchy people to have a bit of perspective.
but gtfo my lawn nonetheless ;-)
I said it when we scored to tie, left too much time on the clock. Figuring they get the ball on the 25 with 32 seconds left, I absolutely believe they would have taken the ball the 40-50 yards needed to attempt a field goal. Whether they make it, who knows, obviously would have loved to find out but our defense was hemorrhaging huge chucks of yardage all game, especially in the 2nd half.
so I didn't have to try to say what I am so pleased others said. I was watching with someone who is of the "we didn't win, so it's over" school. I was fine with Hoke going for 2, and thrilled to hear that's what the team wanted. And for those who berate these players for proving they could have played better at other games, they've never bought into the "they're young and have to learn and get better" idea, but maybe that's exactly what's been happening. Last week they lost a couple defensive starters in the 2nd half (didn't know it at the time) and yes, the defense was less successful in the 2nd half. Didn't know Ross and Wilson were out today, and the team wore down in the 2nd half again. Was that why? Was it that youngsters were thrown into the fire and passing expectations, learning and improving and just not able to close out against a team that was expected to blow us out? No moral victories. Well, I'm one of those softies who thinks there are.
so proud of the team and the brass balls of the coach to win it right here. If DG weren't broken, and Ohio runners were stoppable, OT would have been reasonable, but he was and they weren't.
FWIW, the OSU hate is so strong out here the talking heads on sports radio are bitching about the go for two because it didn't work and Ohio won.
They showed great heart, desire, and toughness all the way to the end. Our D was overmatched by their offense, yet we were still in a position to win it all. This game was a classic in the series. One day soon, we're going to start winning these games. Hopefully starting next year.
Were you dropped on your head as a child?
True Blue Grit has been a solid and respectful contributor for a long time and certainly doesn't deserve this kind of nonsense. If you disagree with him, say so and explain yourself respectfully. He deserves no less.
or leave this blog. You are adding nothing to the disussion. This was a classic game. What were you watching?
I'm guessing this was not directed at me.
Thanks for the laugh. Been a long time since I got challenged to a bar fight, and here I am in my living room. Kind of incogruous.
Oh wait...that's probably a little hard for you. How about..."Fuck you, man. You wanna go, just give your purse to your boyfriend and step outside." That better?
Considering the abject failures in last few games, no reason to hang your head in shame after this game. If it makes you feel better to wear sackcloth and ashes, go ahead.
You sir are a fucking jack-ass. You are the loser.
You'd have to first have morals to have a moral victory.
Know how the game will play out, but with Gibbons having his tweak, quite probably three points were left on the field.
I told my brother when they went ahead that we would go down, score and then try to win with the 2. It's too bad we didn't convert, but considering Wile's inconsistency and in OT kicking being so important, the 2 was the right call. The players were completely behind it, so I am behind the decision. We had some tough calls and a replay that should have been overturned, but the kids fought hard, and Devin was ballin all day. With what we have seen the last 8 weeks, this performance was exceptional. I agree with Ace's view that the defense was not the same with Wilson and Ross out, and they OT gashed, but they also came up with the fumble that got us back in it.
I am never happy with a loss, but this was a classic and we had every opportunity to win, just didn't happen. Love the effort and just wish we played with this passion all season, we probably would have a much better record.
I see the trolls and idiots are out in force. Heck of a game, happy with the loss I am not. Happy with how they played for 60 minutes, yes.
to be frustrated with losing to OSU after scoring 41 points and amassing over 600 yards of offense? Maybe you shouldnt be so fast to label those frustrated with a defense that was non-existent allowing 8.5 yards a carry. Seriously if you are objective, that defensive performance was one of the worst in the programs history. How can you feel good about OSU only passing one time in the 2nd half (a touchdown) and yet UM not having any chance to slow down the run? This was reminiscent of the Wisconsin game from a few years ago when they ran like twenty some straight times. DEMORALIZING. You can go celebrate this loss if you like, but dont label those not whistleing past the graveyard. 7-5 YAY
Who are you talking to?
Good post above. Couldn't have said it better. Would have been great to get this win but what a great game to watch and a great effort. Where have ya been offense? I so was glad they went for 2 .
Can we build on this game?
Definitely think we need to give Hoke his 2 years and stop talking about it.
Can't think of a time when I have been prouder even if the defense couldn't stop them...
Trolls trolls trolls.
Says the guy who watched the game on his couch, to a bunch of kids who have been slaving away for years for the chance to duke that game out on tv for free. Grow up. It's a football game played by college students.
Value to this blog or waste of oxygen? There's nothing in between.
I was pleased with the way the game went, as were most people. It was enjoyable to watch up until the failed two-point attempt.
That said, I think it's fair to question the sentiment. People are taking hell here for saying that we shouldn't be happy with any type of loss to OSU, but I agree with the minority, too. We just lost our chance to hold serve and stop the bleeding against OSU. Yeah, we were underdogs, but you could argue that we were underdogs by our own doing. Everyone on this board, during the preseason, predicted we'd beat OSU. We have the players. Our expectations were lowered by virtue of our terrible in-season performance.
Good for the guys for going out and playing to their potential today. But that should be the expectation.
I'm not sure who you're including in your statement that "Everyone on this board, during the preseason, predicted we'd beat OSU," but my recollection is almost everyone predicted at least 2-3 losses, including a likely loss against OSU. Yes, the team has fallen short of expectations for the season by a few games, but anyone who preseason thought this would be an undefeated or one loss team by this point in the season was delusional.
I was exaggerating, but I remember all the preseason prediction threads, and virtually no one on here had us losing to OSU. My point is just that our expectations in the week leading up to this game had been historically lowered by our awful performance. It's the rare point in time that Michigan fans are happy with a loss at home to OSU. And that says something about where our program is.
Everyone had us losing to OSU last week, the week before, the week before that, after our shaky fear-inducing wins against crappy opponents; even after CMU & ND people still figured this might be a loss.
Hell, at the end of LAST SEASON most people thought it might be a loss, and at best the odds were 50/50.
Everyone seemed to notice they were undefeated last year, right?
I don't think I'm nuts. My point is that at the end of LAST SEASON most people either thought it might be a loss, the odds would be 50/50, or that we would win.
Nobody, before the Akron game this year, predicted we'd get crushed by OSU. Those predictions and expectations came after we self-destructed. Which was mostly our staff's doing, in my opinion.
In all fairness that was before we saw them play. I was on record for thinking we'd go 9-3 and lose to ND, NW, and OSU. I also thought we could beat PSU, MSU, and Iowa which didn't happen. But, that was all based on paper. We have never really seen a team just like this one before so it was somewhat of a mystery. Remember we had all these question marks that could either way, like the o-line, the RB, the pass rush, the safeties, etc? Those predictions were before we realized the offseason hype on the defense was just that, before we realized how bad our interior o-line is, and how little help our experienced tackles are to them. I'm not sure anyone would have expected the season long regression of the offense and the offensive line. That's coaching. Before the season I thought we'd lose a close game because I believed if the 2012 game was at home I thought we would have won and both teams were pretty similar coming back this year. But, prior to the start of the game I thought we'd get blown out based on what this team has shown us most of the year.

Some more photos from our trip to the Outer Banks...
Yes, I take A LOT of photos :)
I loved the way the wind fluffed out Porter's butt!
Watching kites
Watching sea gulls
A jellyfish!
Being a total "ocean rookie," I first wondered why there was one piece of ice on the beach...
You should turn down your sound first, it was very windy that day!

It's been almost seven years since NBC retired the original Law & Order. Every now and then, the Hollywood trade press will suggest that Dick Wolf and NBC want to bring back the series, but then little comes of it, perhaps because Wolf has been so busy overseeing his new empire: the Chicago Extended Cinematic Universe, which began with Chicago Fire and now also includes Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med.
We may still get a proper version of the mothership at some point — NBC boss Robert Greenblatt loves reboots, and so does most of the industry in this era of Zombie TV — but in the meantime, Wolf has come up with a stealthy way to do it: Chicago Justice, which is technically another spin-off of the Chicago shows, but has so much Law & Order DNA that the main character is literally the son of one of the original L&O leads.
Philip Winchester from Strike Back plays Peter Stone, son of Michael Moriarty's Ben Stone from the first L&O cast, now working as a prosecutor in the State's Attorney's office in the Windy City. And Stone (who first appeared in a couple of Chicago P.D. episodes last year) finds himself in a show formatted(*) very much like the one that used to feature his old man.
(*) NBC for some reason elected not to give critics the first actual episode of the series, which debuts tomorrow night at 10pm ET as part of a three-way crossover with Fire and P.D. (plus appearances by the Med doctors). All I've seen is the first episode in the show's regular timeslot, Sunday at 9 p.m.
Like the mothership, Justice's storytelling is represented by two separate but equally important groups, with much of the first half of the episode dedicated to State's Attorney investigators Antonio Dawson (Jon Seda, transferring over from P.D.) and Laura Nagel (Joelle Carter from Justified), while the second half has Stone and Anna Valdez (Monica Barbaro) going into court and taking marching orders from wise old boss Mark Jefferies (Carl Weathers, his voice having graveled into something approximating the late, great Steven Hill).
It's still obviously a Chicago show, not just with Seda, but with guest appearances by several other P.D. regulars, not to mention a case in Sunday's episode where the defendant winds up being one of the P.D. cops(*). But it's just as blatantly a L&O sequel, with Peter Stone displaying the same sense of flinty self-righteousness that fueled his dad, and with frequent appearances by mothership alums. Lorraine Toussaint returned as sneaky defense lawyer Shambala Green in the P.D. episode that introduced Peter Stone, Tovah Feldshuh is going to reprise her role as Danielle Melnick in tomorrow's Justice part of the crossover, and Stone's opposing counsel in Sunday's episode winds up being none other than Richard Brooks as Paul Robinette, who was his father's deputy for the first three L&O seasons.
(*) The Chicago franchise in many ways leans more on crossovers than even the CW's Berlanti-verse comic book shows, not just with full-fledged events like tomorrow's, but characters from one casually wandering into the others. As with superhero crossovers, it's the kind of thing that's fun if you watch all the shows (or read all the comics), but can grow tiring if you're only into one or two of them. As someone who hasn't watched P.D. since early in its run, a good chunk of the Justice episode had little emotional resonance for me.

It's been awhile my friends, and I do apologize.
I've been very busy with work and the band, and by the time I get to my other side projects I am truly exhausted. What else can I say? I am only human.
In the meanwhile, my 2nd show with Scars Like These is this Saturday, April 15 @ The Rusty Nail in Ardmore. I really look forward to it.
I am still trying to work on my writings, the Terminal Frost demo that never was, and new MoonCandle. It's hard to juggle all of these.
Keep checking back for more.

An uneventful period followed under the rule of the house of Habsburg, which united the kingship of Bohemia with the archduchy of Austria and the imperial crown.
Austria, which had been solemnly created an A ustria archduchy by the emperor Frederick in 1453, was created claimed by the three remaining Habsburg princes, and an arch- lower Austria was secured by Frederick, while Albert duchy.
The diocese was a large one, including until 1468 not only much of Bavaria, but practically the whole of the archduchy of Austria.

United States District Court, N.D. California, San Jose Division
October 15, 2014
SEASIDE CIVIC LEAGUE, INC., and DEL MONTE MANOR, INC., Plaintiffs,v.UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT, and SHAUN DONOVAN, in his official capacity as Secretary of United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Defendants.
RONALD M. WHYTE, District Judge.
An evidentiary hearing was held in this case on Tuesday, October 7, 2014 to determine who has standing to pursue (or dismiss) the pending action purportedly brought by the Seaside Civic League, Inc. ("Seaside Civic League") and Del Monte Manor, Inc. ("DMM"). See Dkt. No. 65. The court held the evidentiary hearing to resolve two subsidiary questions: (1) whether several new Seaside Civic League board members were properly appointed, and (2) whether Kathleen Clack or Richard Glenn is the attorney for Seaside Civic League. Id. The court finds that the new Seaside Civic League board members were properly appointed, and that because Kathleen Clack was subsequently dismissed as counsel for plaintiffs, she is not authorized to pursue this matter on behalf of the Seaside Civic League and DMM. Accordingly, the court dismisses the action pursuant to plaintiffs' Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) notice of voluntary dismissal.[1]
A. The Current Litigation
This case arises out of a dispute between DMM and HUD over subsidies paid by HUD to Section 8 housing facilities. The court's May 23, 2014 order denying plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction describes in detail the origins of the dispute. See Dkt No. 22, at 2-3.
DMM filed the instant action through its counsel Kathleen Clack on April 21, 2014 against the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") and Shaun Donovan, secretary of HUD. See Dkt. No 1. In its complaint, DMM alleged seven causes of action: breach of contract, interference with contract, "statutory violations, " violation of due process, violation of equal protection, "violation of civil rights, " and "abuse of power." Id. Along with its complaint, DMM filed for a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction, and a permanent injunction. See Dkt. Nos. 2-4. On April 22, 2014, the court denied DMM's application for a temporary restraining order without prejudice. Dkt. No. 10. The next day, DMM re-filed for a temporary restraining order, which the court denied, requiring notice to be given to defendants. Dkt. No. 12. After holding a hearing on the matter, on May 23, 2014 the court denied DMM's request for a preliminary injunction, finding that DMM had failed to show irreparable harm would result absent an injunction, and that the public interest weighed against such an injunction. Dkt. No. 22.
On June 15, 2014 DMM filed a first amended complaint ("FAC"). Dkt. No. 25. The FAC alleges three claims for relief: (1) failure to make subsidy payments to DMM in amounts required by the United States Housing Act of 1937, 42 U.S.C. § 1437; (2) Racial discrimination, disparate treatment of minorities, improper demands and threats, and failure to provide DMM with notice and due process in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and Amendments Five and Fourteen of the U.S. Constitution; and (3) requiring DMM to charge rents at its unsubsidized units which were lower than the available market rate, in violation of the Fifth Amendment's prohibition on the taking of private property without just compensation. Id. On August 5, 2014 HUD moved to dismiss the FAC. Dkt. No. 32. DMM filed an opposition on August 20, 2014. Dkt. No. 35. Also on August 20, 2014 DMM filed a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint ("SAC"). Dkt. Nos. 40, 37. DMM then moved on August 29, 2014 to join various indispensable parties, including several former and current Seaside Civic League board members, the City of Seaside, the Seaside City Manager and Deputy City Manager, the Seaside Police Department, and several Seaside police officers. See Dkt. No. 44. On September 2, DMM moved to amend the SAC. Dkt. No 46. The amended SAC contains several additional claims, including constitutional violations under the Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments, statutory violations under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981, 1982, 1985(2), as well as common law tort claims for tortious interference, conversion, fraud, gross negligence, and trespass. Id.
On September 5, 2014 several tenants at Del Monte Manor moved to intervene as party defendants. Dkt. No. 47. HUD filed a reply in support of its motion to dismiss the FAC, an opposition to DMM's motion for leave to file the SAC, and a response to DMM's motion to join additional parties on September 12, 2014. Dkt No. 53. On September 18, 2014 HUD filed a statement of non-opposition to the tenants' motion to intervene. Dkt. No. 61. On September 19, DMM filed a reply in support of its motions for leave to file the SAC and to join additional parties. Dkt. No. 64.
The issue now before the court concerns plaintiffs' representation in this matter. As is discussed in the following section, in August, 2014 Richard Glenn was hired as counsel for Seaside Civic League and DMM. On September 8, 2014, Mr. Glenn filed a notice of appearance as counsel for DMM and Seaside Civic League. Dkt. No. 48. Mr. Glenn also filed a notice of voluntary dismissal pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure on behalf of DMM and Seaside Civic League. See Dkt. No. 52.
B. The August 11, 2014 Meeting of the Seaside Civic League Board of Directors
The dispute over DMM's representation centers on the August 11, 2014 Seaside Civic League board meeting, at which Ms. Clack was dismissed as counsel for DMM and Mr. Glenn retained.[2]
The Seaside Civic League has six members, all of which are local civic organizations and churches. Dkt. No. 56 ("Seaside Civic League bylaws"), Art. III, § 1. The current members of the Seaside Civic League are: (1) the Seaside Chamber of Commerce; (2) the Seaside Lions Club; (3) the Seaside Rotary Club; (4) the Seaside Kiwanis Club; (5) Ocean View Baptist Church; and (6) Greater Victory Temple Church. See Dkt. No. 68 ("Glenn Brief"), at 5. The Seaside Civic League articles and bylaws provide that the member organizations will each appoint one director to serve on the Seaside Civic League board of directors. Seaside Civic League bylaws, Art. III, § 2. Del Monte Manor's bylaws provide that its directors are to be selected from the directors or members of the Seaside Civic League. Dkt. No 57, at ECF p. 22-26. Although Seaside Civic League and Del Monte Manor are separate California non-profit corporations and Del Monte Manor is subordinate to the Seaside Civic League, several witnesses testified at the evidentiary hearing that the same individuals have historically served as directors of both corporations.
On August 7, 2014 three Seaside Civic League directors called a special meeting of the Seaside Civic League board to be held on August 11, 2014. Dkt. No. 67, Ex. 1, at ECF p. 2. The meeting was called by: (1) Monica Mapp, appointed by the Seaside Chamber of Commerce; (2) Wayne Dalton, appointed by the Seaside Rotary Club; and (3) Cyndi Dorsey, appointed by the Seaside Kiwanis Club. Id. Present at the August 11 meeting were five directors appointed by the member organizations and one non-participating observer sent in the place of Norah Saffold, the director appointed by Greater Victory Temple Church. Dkt. No. 67, Ex. 3, at ECF p. 11-12. At the meeting, three individuals presented written authorizations for appointment to the Seaside Civic League board and were seated as ...

To efficiently drive higher conversion rates on its AdWords and DoubleClick ads, TransUnion used Google Analytics Premium audiences to unlock customer insights and boosted performance across search and display.
- Goals
- Increase marketing efficiencies across its AdWords and DoubleClick campaigns
- Increase the number of conversions
- Find a platform that will test a number of audience lists without increasing the complexity of tags
- Approach
- Used Google Analytics Premium audience lists and remarketing lists for search ads for smarter, more efficient bidding in AdWords and DoubleClick
- Organized audience lists in Google Analytics Premium to maximize budget and avoid overexposure
- Results
- Google Analytics Premium delivered the highest total conversions, most revenue, and second-lowest eCPA across all of TransUnion's programmatic display buying efforts
- Visitors who launched non-branded searches had a 65% higher conversion rate and 58% higher revenue/transaction, with about a 50% decrease in the cost/transaction
TransUnion prides itself on going beyond credit reporting to deliver sophisticated financial information to half a billion users worldwide. Its products help customers better understand credit health, monitor credit profile changes, and protect against identity theft-related issues.
TransUnion wanted to find more customers while reducing waste in search and display campaigns. Specifically, the company wanted to make its marketing efforts as efficient as possible while driving higher conversion rates on its AdWords and DoubleClick ads. As a Google Analytics Premium customer for over three years, it was easy for TransUnion and its agency, Digitas, to make a plan to use audience behavioral data from Google Analytics Premium to create more effective remarketing campaigns.
Smarter optimization with Google AdWords and DoubleClick Bid Manager
In AdWords, TransUnion focused its audience list on two sets of users. One segment was dedicated to new users—those who had visited its site and started, but not completed, a credit application. The other included users who had already converted. Splitting the audience between new and existing customers allowed TransUnion to leverage remarketing lists for search ads (RLSA) to bid higher for new customers and spend less on customers it had already won.
For its DoubleClick Bid Manager campaigns, TransUnion eliminated inefficiencies by implementing audience lists. This time, the team started with five different segments for users at different stages of engagement with the brand. These lists made sure that TransUnion targeted the right people at the right time and prevented over-exposing users to creatives they'd already seen.
Google Analytics Premium lists outperform other programmatic strategies
TransUnion used Google Analytics Premium to build audience lists for RLSA. These lists yielded high-intent metrics while also delivering impressive conversion rates and cost efficiencies for TransUnion's search ads. RLSA visitors had a lower bounce rate and viewed twice as many pages per session compared with regular visitors. New customers exposed to targeted RLSA messages had a 65% higher conversion rate and 58% higher revenue/transaction with about a 50% drop in the cost/transaction. Meanwhile, CPCs for existing customers dropped 50%.
Google Analytics Premium-based audiences drove the most revenue and traffic while maintaining the second lowest eCPA, compared to TransUnion's other programmatic display buying efforts. Results like these are unusual. Traditionally, high-budget campaigns drive more volume, which leads to increased revenue. But, as volume continues to expand, marginal revenue typically comes at an increasing cost. TransUnion was able to break this trend by using audience lists to focus and invest in only the most high-intent customers.
Testing turns clicks into more customers for TransUnion
After seeing Google Analytics Premium improve its marketing efficiencies dramatically, TransUnion decided to apply the same strategy to other areas of its business. One of the biggest advantages of using Google Analytics Premium segments was that the company could make as many lists as it wanted to test, then create similar audience lists for the highest performing ones to launch as new campaigns.
"Google Analytics Premium made a significant positive impact on our business," said Ken Chaplin, CMO of TransUnion "By integrating our DoubleClick Bid Manager and AdWords accounts with GA Premium, we were able to quickly generate audience lists and send them to our other platform products for intelligent bidding and buying. Through an effective use of this strategy, we made our marketing efforts more efficient, decreasing our costs per transaction in Search while at the same time realizing double-digit gains in our non-branded conversion rates."
With Google Analytics Premium audience lists and RLSA informing its programmatic buying and search bidding, TransUnion can more strategically target its users, leading to less waste and increased revenue across its businesses.

Drexel's Baiada center transformed by gift and pledge
Drexel University's Laurence A. Baiada Center for Entrepreneurship is now the Laurence A. Baiada Institute for Entrepreneurship.
The name change resulted from a $500,000 gift and $250,000 pledge that enabled it to move from being a center of excellence in Drexel's LeBow College of Business to becoming an institute that serves all of Drexel.
The gift was from the Barbara and Charles Close '36 Foundation and the pledge was from brothers Mel and Mark Baiada.
Charles Close, a Drexel alumnus, made a then-anonymous gift to help establish the institute.
South Jersey technology entrepreneur Mel Baiada also made a gift to establish the institute, which is named after his father. Mark Baiada is the founder of Bayada Home Health Care, which is based in Moorestown, N.J., but has offices across the country. He spells Bayada Home Health Care with a "y" because he thought that would make the business' name easier for people to pronounce.
The institute was established in 2000, but didn't begin operations until 2001. It initially was run by and located in the University City Science Center, but a year later it moved to Drexel's campus and Mark Loschiavo was hired to run it as executive director, a post he has held since.
Although it was part of LeBow, the institute always worked with Drexel's other colleges, as well as the area business community.
With the change, Loschiavo said, it will work more closely with individual colleges in Drexel to help each promote entrepreneurship among its faculty and students in the way that's best suited for it.
The institute also will help Drexel's Entrepreneurship & Technology Commercialization Office expand its efforts to license technology developed by the school's researchers. Loschiavo said that while most technology-licensing agreements involve established companies, a number of technologies developed by universities don't fit well into those types of agreements and so the center is working with the technology commercialization office to establish a process to get those types of technologies to people willing to form companies to further develop them.
Probably the biggest change that will come from the center transforming to an institute deals with how it teaches business principles.
"We're shifting our focus to a much more accelerated approach so that we can hopefully help these entrepreneurs navigate through the entrepreneurial waters more quickly and more effectively," he said.
The shift will affect the incubator the institute has run since its inception.
Companies in the incubator have always received a lot of resources and been required to meet quarterly goals in order to remain tenants, but they weren't involved in accelerator programs like the one run by Philadelphia-based DreamIt Ventures.
Now, Loschiavo anticipates half the space in the incubator will be devoted to accelerator programs.
The incubator and the rest of the institute will be moving to a new home. Loschiavo said plans are for it to occupy the entire fourth floor of the LeBow College's new building, which is on track to open in the fourth quarter of next year.
There are two ways companies can get into the institute's incubator. One is by winning its annual Business Incubator Competition, the finals of which are scheduled to be held June 6 at World Café Live this year; the other is by applying to get in and demonstrating exceptional merit. Companies that do that show that their business model and team have a better-than-average chance of being successful and that the incubator can help them, Loschiavo said.
Companies don't have to have a tie to Drexel to get in, although most that apply do, because their tie is how they heard of the incubator in the first place.
For example, the founders of Connexus Technology, a Philadelphia-based systems integrator and data-management company that was in the incubator for around six years, both graduated from Drexel.
Lawrence James, its CEO, and Chris Holland, its chief operating officer, were with another company housed in the incubator before forming Connexus in 2003.
James' degree was in computer information systems and Holland's degree was in computer sciences, so they relied on the center to give them the business training they needed to enable Connexus to succeed. It also helped them with their networking, James said.
"They would put us in contact with other businesses that we were able to strategically align with," he said.

Our destiny is determined by what we are and by what we do, and what we are to be or do is determined by what we are living for, thinking for or working for. We are not being made by some outside force. We are making ourselves with the power of those forces and elements that we employ in our thought and our work, and in all our efforts physical or mental, we invariably follow our ideals. We who live, think and work for the superior become superior; we who work for less, become less. It is therefore evident that any individual may become more, achieve more, secure more and create for themselves a greater and a greater destiny by simply beginning to live, think and work for a superior group of ideals.
To have low ideals is to give the creative forces of the system something ordinary to work for. To have high ideals is to give those forces something extraordinary to work for, and our fate is the result of what our creative forces hourly produce. Every force in the human system is producing something, and that something will become a part of the individual. It is therefore evident that anyone can constantly improve the power, the quality and the worth of their being by directing the forces of their system to produce that which has quality and worth. These forces, however, are not directed or controlled by the will. It is the nature of the creative forces in humankind to produce what the mind desires, wants, needs or aspires to attain, and the desires and the aspirations of any mind are determined by the ideals that are entertained in that mind.
The forces of the system will begin to work for the superior when the mind begins to attain superior ideals, and since it is the product of these forces that determines both the nature and the destiny of humankind, a superior nature and a greater destiny may be secured by anyone who will adopt the highest and the most perfect system of idealism that they can possibly comprehend. To entertain superior ideals is to picture in mind and to hold constantly before mind the highest conception that can be formed of everything of which we may be conscious. To mentally dwell in those higher conceptions at all times is to cause the predominating ideas to become superior ideas, and it is the predominating ideas for which we live, think and work. When the ruling ideas of any mind are superior, the creative force of that mind will produce the superior in every element, faculty, talent or power in that mind. Greatness will thus be developed in that mind, and the great mind invariably creates a great destiny.
To entertain superior ideals is not to dream of the impossible, but to enter into mental contact with those greater possibilities that we are now able to discern, and to have the power to discern an ideal indicates that we have the power to realize that ideal. We do not become conscious of greater possibilities until we have developed sufficient capacity to work out those possibilities into practical, tangible results. Therefore, when we discern the greater, we are ready to attain and achieve the greater, but before we can proceed to do what we are ready to do, we must adopt superior ideals, and superior ideals only. When our ideals are superior, we will constantly think of the superior, because as our ideals are, so is our thinking, and to constantly think of the superior is to steadily grow into the likeness of the superior.

If not under care, she could experience worse psychiatric problems than before. I really hope it's all monitored and Dr approved.

My Grandmother was a paranoid schizophrenic and we could definitely tell when she would stop taking her meds.

Either her Mom has too much faith, or has been told by agents that Amanda's lack of name in the news lately is not doing her career any good.

Some meds can help but maybe a good entourage, psychological help, healthy diet can help too.
I agree with BaronessOrczy. For having someone schizophrenic in my family I know that the meds made them feel so out of here (and they're not drug user at all) that they stopped and felt much better. Because they could feel themselves again. We make sure they don't have any stress and all that.

It can absolutely intensify mental illness and can lead to episodes of psychosis, erratic behavior, probably even hallucinations to a degree.

If they said she was smoking meth and that's what caused that all, then I'd believe it. But putting it on weed is unbelievable. I've been a daily smoker for almost a decade. I think Amanda doesn't want to be known as mentally ill because of the stigma surrounding mental health. I don't blame her, your medical conditions should be private and walking around with everyone looking at you like you're crazy is terrible.

But addressing the public and saying no such issues exist, that it was simply caused by smoking weed, is only setting her up for failure. If her mother is unwilling to accept her illness, then she's an unfit conservator. I hope there is someone in Amanda's life who will do what needs to be done to assure long-term care.

Many people stop their medication because they feel better. They stop, often cold-turkey, and the problems come back with a vengeance. I know, as I've stopped anti-depressants in the past after *feeling better*, only to feel worse, have to restart AND try a higher dosage of the same med.Torihttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-32614452366252135272014-04-10T09:56:54.141-07:002014-04-10T09:56:54.141-07:00Pot CAN cause psychosis.
