The Hilliker Curse (Hardcover)
My Pursuit of Women
Knopf, 9780307593504, 224pp.
Publication Date: September 7, 2010
The legendary crime writer gives us a raw, brutally candid memoir—as high intensity and as riveting as any of his novels—about his obsessive search for "atonement in women."
The year was 1958. Jean Hilliker had divorced her fast-buck hustler husband and resurrected her maiden name. Her son, James, was ten years old. He hated and lusted after his mother and "summoned her dead." She was murdered three months later.
The Hilliker Curse is a predator's confession, a treatise on guilt and on the power of malediction, and above all, a cri de cœur. James Ellroy unsparingly describes his shattered childhood, his delinquent teens, his writing life, his love affairs and marriages, his nervous breakdown, and the beginning of a relationship with an extraordinary woman who may just be the long-sought Her.
A layered narrative of time and place, emotion and insight, sexuality and spiritual quest, The Hilliker Curse is a brilliant, soul-baring revelation of self. It is unlike any memoir you have ever read.
About the Author
Praise For The Hilliker Curse: My Pursuit of Women…
"As fascinating as it is at times utterly disturbing."
—Entertainment Weekly
"Crime writer James Ellroy's most compelling mystery story has always been his own . . . But The Hilliker Curse is not meant to be merely a confession. It is an act of creation . . . There's a truth of feeling in it, too, an underlying sense of what it is actually like to live in the vortex of an impossible yearning . . . Ellroy is expert and relentless at dramatizing the effects [of his obsession]."
—Wall Street Journal
"This latest book is Ellroy's most intimate and personal . . . It's forceful and unsparing in its revelations . . . [His sentences] make you grateful to read his prose, with its marvelous fury, passion and energy. They also compel you to keep rooting for him."
—San Francisco Chronicle
"Crime novelist Ellroy has given us a wild memoir in his hard-boiled, jazzy, staccato style . . . Quite a read."
—New York Post
"Perhaps the most confessional memoir I've ever read."
—Dallas Morning News
"From the fantastic writer who brought us unforgettable books like L.A. Confidential and The Black Dahlia, comes this extraordinary in-depth work about his own life. As always, Ellroy is extremely explicit, writing every word of this memoir with an in-your-face passion, elegance, and anger that will literally stop readers in their tracks . . . Bravo!"
"Ellroy's characteristically unforgiving portrait of himself as an angry and frustrated teenager is a masterpiece of savage economy . . . There's no doubt that Ellroy's is a singular voice."
—Observer (UK)
"Fascinating . . . A searching and difficult but utterly compelling and often heartbreaking memoir of love and obsession from noir master James Ellroy . . . Readers familiar with Ellroy will recognize and appreciate the machine-gun prose, Los Angeles chiaroscuro and tortured psyche that Ellroy has made his own."
—Shelf Awareness
"A fervent portrait of the artist as a young screw-up—an old one, too, who writes like an avenging angel . . . It's vintage Ellroy."
—Kirkus Reviews
"The Hilliker Curse centers mainly around the author's doomed relationships, but also gives tantalizing glimpses into the mind of Ellroy the writer . . . As always, the writing is razor sharp, infused with Ellroy's patented abrasive black humor. He holds nothing back."
"There's no doubt about it: James Ellroy is a fascinating character . . . He's as hard to ignore as a burning fire truck . . . The revelations are compelling, as the author indicts the tough-guy persona he has so meticulously constructed."

Skin Cancers
Basal Cell and Squamous Cell Cancers
Duke dermatologists perform comprehensive skin screenings to detect skin cancer, including basal cell, squamous cell and melanoma, and use the most effective methods to treat skin cancer promptly. Our advanced training, and seamless coordination with experts throughout Duke, ensures you receive the best possible treatment, whether your skin cancer is contained to a small area, or has advanced and requires specialized care. We do everything possible to cure your skin cancer and help you maintain cancer-free skin.
Experienced Skin Cancer Care
Routine skin cancer screening identifies this common cancer early, and prompt treatment can cure it quickly. Knowing which type of cancer cell causes your skin cancer is important as well. Basal and squamous cancer cells, often referred to as non-melanoma skin cancers, are the most common form of skin cancer, and usually result from too much sun exposure. While they need to be removed completely, they are treated differently than the more aggressive melanoma.
Our dermatologists detect and remove all skin cancers, and work closely with cancer specialists when melanoma is diagnosed. Our goal is to provide the best care possible for your skin cancer to achieve the best results.
Choose Duke for your skin cancer treatment because we offer:
- Expertise in advanced skin cancers. While it's rare for basal cell and squamous cell cancers to spread, it can happen. In addition, these cancers often grow locally and can damage structures on the face including the nose and ears. Treating them effectively is crucial to ensuring the best possible outcome. We choose the best medical or surgical treatment to treat early and advanced skin cancers to ensure you receive the most effective care for your condition.
- A team approach to care. In addition to dermatologists, your team may include medical, surgical and radiation oncologists, otolaryngologists (ear, nose and throat doctors), dermatopathologists (specialists who look at skin diseases at a cellular level), plastic surgeons, ophthalmologists and radiologists, when their expertise is needed to develop the most effective treatment plan for you.
- Expertise in head and neck skin cancer. Our experienced ear, nose and throat surgeons are specially trained in removing skin cancers that involve the head and neck. Their expertise working exclusively on the head and neck increases the likelihood that you will experience positive outcomes for these complicated procedures.
- Support to you and your family. Our comprehensive support services range from helping patients minimize the side effects of cancer treatment to coping with the emotional and psychological effects of diagnosis and treatment. View all of our cancer support groups in our event calendar.
Your doctor will develop a treatment plan for your skin cancer based on location, how deeply it has penetrated the surface of your skin, and whether it has spread. Treatment options for basal and squamous cancers include:
Suspicious areas on the skin that may be related to sun-damage (sometimes referred to as actinic keratosis), and very superficial cancer growths on the top layer of your skin may be treated with:
- Cryosurgery. Liquid nitrogen spray freezes the suspicious area. A blister may form and fall off. New skin grows in its place.
- Topical chemotherapy cream. Multiple applications of cream to the suspicious area destroys superficial cancer cells over time.
- Photodynamic therapy. A liquid drug is applied to the affected area, which makes it sensitive to light. After an extended period of time, the area is targeted by a special light source, which removes the suspicious lesion.
- Laser surgery. A laser beam destroys the suspicious area and surrounding skin.
A knife-like instrument, called a curette, is used to scrape away the layers of small cancerous lesions. An electric needle is then used to cauterize the wound, which stops bleeding, seals the area, and destroys any remaining cancer cells.
Critical to the treatment of high risk skin cancer, especially on the heck and neck. Layers of basal cell or squamous cell cancers are surgically removed and examined under a microscope to ensure no cancerous cells remain.
When skin cancer spreads to other areas of the body or hasn't responded to other treatments, vismodegib may be prescribed to block proteins in genes that tell cancer cells to grow. Vismodegib was recently approved by the FDA, and is only prescribed by dermatologists, like ours, who have expertise with this medication.
X-rays destroy cancer cells or shrink tumors. May be used in very select patients or to treat advanced basal cell cancers.
A skin graft from another part of your body is used to cover wounds after total removal of skin cancer. The grafting and reconstructive surgery promotes healing, restores the skin's appearance and function, and minimizes the long-term impact of skin cancer surgery.
Our dermatologists use the latest technologies to identify pre-cancerous moles and detect all types of skin cancer. Screening and diagnostic tests include:
Skin cancers are typically first identified during a physical exam, and the site may be examined more closely using a high-powered microscope called a dermatoscope.
If you have several moles on your body, or a family history of skin cancer, our dermatologists may use mole-mapping technology to take sequential photographs of your body from multiple angles. The photographs allow your dermatologist to track changes in your skin and evaluate your skin cancer risk over time.
If skin cancer is suspected, a sample of tissue will be removed and examined for the presence of cancer. The type of biopsy you undergo will be determined by how deep into your skin your physician believes the basal or squamous cells have penetrated. A shave biopsy takes less skin, while a punch biopsy removes a deeper portion of skin.

October 27, 2017 | By Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Time is running out for fans and visitors to view a once-in-a-lifetime exhibit honoring auto racing icon A.J. Foyt at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.
A.J. Foyt: A Legendary Exhibition, presented by ABC Supply, will conclude its wildly popular run Sunday, Nov. 12 at the Museum. The exhibit, which opened in the spring before the 101st Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil, was created to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Foyt's record-setting fourth "500" victory in 1977.
A wide variety of displays trace superstar Foyt's rise from the dirt tracks of Texas to the pinnacle of auto racing history.
Nearly three dozen cars that Foyt drove in competition are on display, including all four of his Indianapolis 500-winning machines, the 1961 Bowes Seal Fast Special, the 1964 and 1967 Sheraton-Thompson Specials and the 1977 Gilmore Coyote.
In addition to several of Foyt's Indy cars, many incredible machines representing Foyt's career in NASCAR, USAC and road racing are on display, many for the first time. Visitors also can see rare memorabilia from Foyt's personal collection.
A.J. Foyt: A Legendary Exhibition is presented by ABC Supply, with additional support from Chevrolet and Al-Fe Heat Treating.
The IMS Museum is located in the infield of the world-famous oval, between Turns 1 and 2. It is open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. (ET) daily from March through October and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. daily from November through February, closing only on Thanksgiving Day on Christmas Day. Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for youth ages 6-15 and free for children under 6.

|People and History

|Images of Amon Rûdh
Amon Rûdh was a hill that lay south of the Forest of Brethil and the Teiglin in West Beleriand during the First Age.[1] It rose a thousand feet above the eastern edge of high moorlands. It was a hill of stone, on its lower slopes were thickets of aeglos but only deep red seregon flowers grew on top, giving it the appearance of being covered with blood.[2]
At one time Amon Rûdh supported a settlement of Petty-dwarves in caves that could have housed a hundred or more. It had a main and secondary hall with many other chambers and passageways. There was a hidden smoke-shaft for the hearth and chambers with axes and other gear. However the Petty-dwarves had dwindled in number until only Mîm and his sons Ibun and Khîm lived in hilltop hideaway.
Mîm was captured by a group of outlaws led by Túrin Turambar and forced to reveal the location of his refuge, which was then called Bar-en-Danwedh, the "House of Ransom". (Previously, it had been known as Bar-en-Nibin-noeg, the "House of the Petty Dwarves".) When it was discovered that Khîm, who had been shot at, had actually been killed, Túrin repented and offered his services to the Dwarf, who from then on tolerated the presence of the outlaws.
Amon Rûdh became the base of operations for the outlaws and with the arrival of Beleg, it became the heart of the area known as Dor-Cúarthol, the "Land of Bow and Helm" (referring to the Two Captains, Beleg and Túrin), a center of resistance against the forces of Morgoth. Eventually Túrin's location was discovered, and the outlaws were destroyed by Orcs, and the hilltop was covered with blood in truth.[2]
Amon Rûdh was lost under the sea with the destruction of Beleriand during the War of Wrath at the end of the First Age.
Amon Rûdh means "Bald Hill" in Sindarin (from amon = "hill" and rûdh = "bald").[2]
Sharbhund means "Bald Hill" in Khuzdul, bund being the word for "head".[source?]
The first element meaning "bald" would be *shar(a)h. The cluster -rbh- could be the result of metathesis (from *sharhbund).[3]

New London seeking new parking spot for school buses
New London - Thirty-seven diesel school buses that are parked in a vacant lot at Fort Trumbull could be relocated to the parking lot at New London High School.
But school officials don't want the buses at the school and say the move could cause problems.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio said Friday that Erwin Stillman, developer of Village on Thames, a 103-unit housing project scheduled to break ground later this spring, wanted the buses moved because they are parked at the entrance to the future housing development.
"The elder Mr. Stillman has issues with the buses - the appearance as you approach the project,'' Finizio said. The city has been working with the Board of Education, he said, to find an alternative parking place for the buses.
The school board is expected to vote on a plan to relocate the buses to the high school at its meeting Wednesday. The board will meet at 7 p.m. at the Science & Technology Magnet High School.
School Building & Maintenance Committee members approved the relocation earlier this month in an 8-1 vote, according to minutes of the March 15 meeting. Superintendent Nicholas A. Fischer voted against it.
Committee members who voted for the move are City Councilor Marie Friess-McSparran and Council President Michael Passero; Board of Education Chairman Margaret Curtin; Director of Public Works Tim Hanser; City Building Official Kurt Kripas; Director of Finance Jeffrey Smith; and city residents Martha Bauduccio and Kenric Hanson.
Committee members had tabled the vote twice from meetings on Jan. 18 and Feb. 15.
At the March 15 meeting, Fischer cited a report done by the Capitol Region Education Council that highlighted potential issues associated with bringing the buses to the high school, including diesel fumes, traffic flow and parking, vandalism, security, lighting, driver behavior, trash, stormwater runoff and the need for a break room or office for the bus company.
He said loud alarms that sound if drivers do not adequately check their buses could disrupt classrooms located near the parking lot, and drivers who smoke and bring their children to work with them could pose liability issues.
The CREC report was dismissed by Passero, who said it "did not have any insurmountable issues." He said the city looked into moving the buses to Groton but there was no room. The committee also considered using the parking lot at Ocean Beach Park but rejected the idea because of potential noise in the residential neighborhood.
Fischer said when the buses were parked at the high school years ago, they were vandalized and homeless people were found sleeping and urinating in them.
New London High School Principal William "Tommy" Thompson told the committee that he and magnet school director Louis Allen also are concerned that the buses eliminate a number of available parking spaces used for after-school and sporting events.
Parking is already limited, and some drivers are forced to park on the lawn or on side streets, Thompson said.
He also said there is no available space inside the school for a break room or office. When the buses were parked at the high school, the Science & Technology Magnet High School did not exist, he said.

Only help if you can be helpfulHey All, A topic has come up of late in the IRC channel in regards to the general feel of the forums and the community that supports them. Things have progressed further than I would have liked with out this being addressed more publicly because I would much rather have snubbed this out sooner rather than later.. but I have been busy. Here is the general rule I would like people to follow: Wheaton's Law "Don't be a dick." Those of you from the IRC channel know that this is the only rule I ask people in there to follow and we generally have a good and lively time chatting about all manner of things. This is basic rule that just about everyone understands and I am going to expand it to the forums from here moving forward. If you can not help people in a helpful and polite manner then I simply ask you to stop. Now I generally take a back seat to moderating the forums as I like to participate in the suggestions forum fairly heavily at times and would rather do so as a forums user than a moderator. But I am also fairly well known for being the person who constantly puts their foot down and so I am stepping up and doing so on here. If you find yourself unable to respond to a message politely then I ask that you do not respond. This mostly focuses on the increasing level of hostility found within the Suggestion forum as well as the Server forum. I do not care if this is the 30th some odd time you have seen someone make the same suggestion. Or even if the new post on an older topic is one entry above the old one. I expect the members of this forum to respond politely to the user, new or old, and point to the older topic if it applies and even go the extra step to suggest they either add in new information or to summarize the outcome of the previous discussion based upon the new post's entry into it. That is what we are here for, that is why I close most topics instead of deleting them, so that they can be found and referenced down the road. The next topic is the slew of derailment attempts I have seen as of late. If you want to have fun and joke around that is what the off topic forum is for and pretty much anything goes there. I do not expect to read a suggestion thread and have to go through 3 pages of image memes people have shot back and forth. Quite simply this is a waste of my time to read and then have to clean up. Now for the summary. I am going to start taking a more active role, especially in policing the suggestion forum, and handing out warn levels to people whom I see doing this. These will be indiscriminate and applied not to just the first person who derails or is impolite on a topic or response, but to everyone whom follows the lead of that person. As I do not like doing things with out giving you all warning this post shall serve as that warning. If you have a desire to bring this topic up with me then I invite you to do so on the IRC channel. Lets raise the level of quality and grow the community. Let us not descend into the quality often found on the minecraft or league of legend forums. There is simply no need for that here. Be passionate about things, just do not be abusive.
Offline ServersRecently I've seen a few server listings showing up on the first page of the Servers forum that have been closed for an extended period of time, but have recently gotten a reply from a new member who didn't realize the server is offline. To help prevent this from happening in the future, it would be greatly appreciated if you could use the report function on the original post of any servers that have been confirmed as offline, so that the topic may be locked. If you are the admin of a server and plan on taking the server offline, please use the report function on the original post of your topic to let the TFC Staff know that the topic should be locked. If you are the admin of a server that has a locked topic, and would wish to bring the server back online, please use the report function on the original post of the topic to let the TFC Staff know that the topic should be unlocked. As always, please remember to follow rule #3 of the servers forum and update your topic title to contain the version of TFC that the server is currently running. You can do so by editing the OP, and then clicking on "Use Full Editor."
Post suggestions for TerraFirmaCraft here.
A list of suggestions that will not be added to TFC so you shouldn't bother posting your opinion can be found here. Please also keep in mind that TFC is balanced for a multi-player environment, so suggestions aimed towards single-player game-play are not likely to be implemented.
The creation of new topics has been disabled for this forum as development has changed to focus solely on TFC2. If you would like to post a new suggestion, please see the TFC2 Suggestion Forum. Members are still welcome to reply to and discuss existing topics, as the developers will continue to monitor this forum to look for ideas for TFC2.
Rules for Replying:
1. Keep the conversation civil and on topic.
- Replies that add nothing to the discussion, such as posts that say nothing more than "I like this idea!" will be deleted. Please explain why you like the idea or what things you would change and why you would change them.
- If you have absolutely nothing to add to the discussion, but would still like to inform the author of the topic that you like his idea; simply click the "Like This" button located at the bottom right of the post.
2. Unless you actually understand how to code Minecraft mods, do not include in your post whether or not you think your suggestion would be easy to implement.
- We don't go to your job, come up with some idea that we have no clue how much work it would take for you to do, and then tell you it should be easy for you to do it. Please do not do that to us.

The author of more than 35 traditionally published law review articles, UC Hastings Professor Scott Dodson has just released his first video article, "Mapping Supreme Court Doctrine: Civil Pleadings."
Working with co-author Colin Starger of the University of Baltimore Law School, Dodson's seven-minute film explains the history and doctrine of civil pleading standards at the Supreme Court level, in a format that is accessible to a wide audience.
"I am very excited about this video," Dodson says. "It opens up an opportunity to capitalize on the electronic virtues of broad accessibility and easy dissemination. A law student can watch it during a class break on her iPhone; an attorney can view it on the train commuting to work; a judge can take a quick look during oral argument on a motion to dismiss. We wanted to make our scholarship available to those who aren't as interested in journal pages and footnotes."
A more traditional written adaptation will be published in paper form by the Federal Courts Law Review, a peer-reviewed journal, later this spring. Dodson and Starger hope that this will be the first of many similar projects.
Professor Scott Dodson graduated from Duke University School of Law (JD 2000) and Rice University (BA Biology 1996). After graduating from law school, Professor Dodson clerked for the Hon. Nicholas G. Garaufis on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
An expert in civil procedure and federal courts, Professor Dodson has authored more than thirty-five articles, appearing in Stanford Law Review, Michigan Law Review, California Law Review, University of Pennsylvania Law Review, Virginia Law Review, Northwestern University Law Review, and Vanderbilt Law Review, among others. He is the author or editor of three books: The Legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Cambridge forthcoming 2014), New Pleading in the Twenty-First Century (Oxford 2013), and Civil Procedure: Model Problems and Outstanding Answers (Oxford 2011, 2d ed. 2012). His writings have been cited by the Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Circuits. Professor Dodson is a frequent commentator in various news media and has blogged at SCOTUSblog, Civil Procedure & Federal Courts Blog, and PrawfsBlawg. He also has authored or joined numerous amicus briefs before the Supreme Court.
Prior to joining UC Hastings, Professor Dodson held a permanent faculty appointment at William & Mary Law School from 2009-2012 and at the University of Arkansas School of Law from 2006-2009.

Nearly eight thousand people attended last weekend's WTHR Health and Fitness Expo, presented by Marian University.
Held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, the expo featured: Andrew Luck, quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts; Bret Michaels, legendary rocker, entrepreneur, and philanthropist; Nick Goepper, 2014 Olympic Winter Games bronze medalist skier; and Sarah Fisher, Verizon IndyCar team owner.
Marian University had more than 100 student volunteers from the Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine (MU-COM) and the Alan and Sue Leighton School of Nursing. Students and faculty performed adult health screenings and demonstrations for children including sessions about germs, the amount of sugar in their favorite drinks, and diaper changing.
However, the hit of the Marian University booth was the mannequin from the Michael A. Evans Center for Health Sciences simulation lab. Attendees were able to listen to the lungs of the mannequin to learn the difference between coughing and wheezing.
On Saturday, MU-COM organized the "Celebration of Wellness 5K," which had nearly 100 people running, walking, or rolling to the finish line. Winners of the 5K received their awards on the main stage of the expo.

PRESTON, UNITED KINGDOM, June 25th, 2013 - About the gameplay trailer:
We've been super busy over the last couple of months adding features, polishing art and baking cookies. It eventually all came together and we hope you like it!
The video features a few key components of the game and generally shows what you'll be doing in Routine:
Routine is an '80s vision of the future set on an abandoned Moon base; it is a first-person horror exploration game which has a heavy emphasis on hiding, survival and Perma death!
Routine's Moon base will be a non-linear experience that lets you explore any part of the base, including hidden areas that other players may not find, a number of randomized environmental hazards, AI locations and floppy disks to update the software for your Cosmonaut Assistance Tool! Be immersed with deadzone aiming, full body awareness, no hud, no health bars, just you and your ability to survive!
Lunar software is an independent development team of 3 with sound and music from Mick Gordon. Routine is their first title that uses Unreal Engine 3, looking to release 2013 for PC and MAC.

McDonald's open on Christmas Day?
McDonald's open on Christmas Day?
If you don't have Christmas dinner plans, at least one restaurant may be open.
McDonald's is urging its franchise owners to open their doors on Christmas. That's because the restaurant's sales have been down this year.
Restaurant owners need to open on Christmas Day in order to boost December sales, according to company officials.
What do you think? Either comment below, or visit WXII's new Facebook page.

All students must reside full-time within Fremont Union High School District boundaries to attend high school in the District. Therefore, the Fremont Union High School District goes to great lengths to insure that all students attending our schools live within our boundaries and do not qualify based on fraudulent information.
The Enrollment and Residency Department thoroughly investigates all possible fraudulent residency claims.
Attendance Boundaries
The District's Boundary Map specifies the attendance areas served by each high school. Students must live in the attendance area to attend a high school.

Say it with Stats! Review
Lesson 15 of 23
Objective: The students will be able to show what they know about Statistics.
Big Idea: The students will be working in centers to review for their test. The centers will consist of a computer rotation, versa-tiles, and a teacher center. All centers will reinforce concepts learned throughout this unit to prepare them for their assessment.
Do Now
I'm going to have the students create a triple venn diagram comparing and contrasting line graphs, bar graphs and circle graphs. This problem will set students up for the learning for the day. Students need to be able to choose the best data display and this will help them visualize how the displays are alike and how they are different to help them make the most appropriate choice. This will help with the review for the day. (SMP1)
If this is the first time your students have seen a triple venn diagram, I would project it on the board and highlight the circles in different colors. This will help the low performing students see each circle and their intersections. I would also ask the students what will go in the center of all 3 diagrams. I'm looking for them to say that it will be what is in common with all 3 graphs. I'm looking for them to have title, labels, and shows data.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Stations Activity
The students will be rotating through three centers during this lesson. Each center will be 20 minutes in duration. I'm going to group the students by ability. I do this because I change the amount of assistance and the way I phrase information to best suit the needs of the student. The groups will consist of 8 members and I've already established the groups ahead of time to eliminate any confusion. Additionally, I will work with the low performing students last so that their review is fresh in their minds when they leave. If you decide that working with the low group last is best, then set up the rotations as follows: Computer rotates to teacher and teacher rotates to independent and independent rotates to computer. Have the low students start at the independent center first.
Center 1: Teacher
During the teacher station, I will be working with a group of students on choosing the best data display and also displaying data. The students are responsible for displaying data on their test. They will need to decide what data display works best. As I'm working with students in this group, I'm going to be asking them to decide on the best display and why they chose that display (SMP 2). I will also be asking them to analyze some of the data in the display to get them looking at the information in the display. For my struggling students, I will review the elements needed in each of the graphs before beginning the problems.
Bar graph – shows popularity. Needs a title, labels, scale and equal intervals, categories and scale starts at zero and bars are not connected
Line graph – shows change over time. Needs a title, labels, scale and equal intervals, time on the x axis, frequency on the y axis, scale starts at zero and dots are connected by lines.
Circle graph – shows part of a whole usually in percentages but can be decimals and fractions. Needs labels, percentages, and a title
Line plot – shows frequency on a number line using dots or x's. Needs a title, number line, equal spacing, x's for frequency
Stem and Leaf Plot – numerical data by place value. Needs a title, key, stem, leaves, all numbers in order from least to greatest
Histogram – shows frequency using intervals. Needs a title, label, equal intervals on the x and y axis. Bars are connected
Box Plot – shows distribution of data. Needs median, lower quartile, upper quartile, minimum and maximum values.
Center 2: Independent Center Versa-tiles
The students in this station will be working independently on versa tiles. The versa tiles workbook can be used without the actual tiles. The students can choose what page they want to work on. I always tell them to practice something they have difficulty with as this will be most beneficial for their review. Each page has something to do with statistics. Once they find the page they want to work on, they can work out the problem and write down their answer on paper. If they have the tiles, they will find their answer at the bottom and place the problem number on that answer. When they have completed the page, they turn the versa tile board over and check their answer. The visual answer is at the bottom of each page. If you don't have the tiles, the students can write their answer on paper and you can make an answer key folder for them to check their work. The goal of this center is to have them work independently, so finding their own answers will be important.
Center 3: Computers/Jeopardy Game
In my class, the students will be working on Edmodo. I've uploaded the Jeopardy power point so they can access it there. I'm going to have them do problems from the game and show their work to support their answer (SMP 1) The questions from the Jeopardy game deal with each component of our current unit. Again, I'm going to state to the students to work on a component they are struggling with first to get the best review. All answers are on the power point. If there answer is incorrect, I tell them to try again to see where there error occurred. I will be collecting this work for evidence of student learning.
If you don't have computers available, the Jeopardy game is in power point and can be used with an LP projector. The small group of students can work the problems out independently first, then share their answers to see how each person solved them (SMP3). This will need to be monitored a bit by the teacher. Making sure the students know that this is part of their review and to use their time wisely will help with management. I would have students show their work on paper and collect this at the end to show evidence of student learning.
Tools: computers, versa-tile workbooks and boards, choosing the best data display questions, and Edmodo.
Resources (5)
Today we have been working on reviewing for our assessment. In order to effectively sum up our learning, we need to know the following: (use these questions to establish closure to this lesson). I would have them partner share their thoughts and then share as whole group.
- When choosing the best display, give examples of what you would look for? I will know students have mastered this when they can say a specific graph is used for …. (see above teacher center)
- How can we tell if a graph is misleading? I will know students have mastered this when they cans say the scale doesn't start at zero, the intervals are not equal, the pictograph images are not representative.
- What is the best measure of central tendency when there is an outlier in the data? I will know students have mastered this when they can say to use the median when there is an outlier.
- How do you calculate the mean? Students should say that they should add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of data values in the set
- How do you find the mode? The mode is the most frequent. Sometimes there is no mode or more than one mode.
- When describing data, what are some things we can say? Students should be talking about center, spread and shape.
- What components need to be in all graphs? Students should say that all graphs need titles and labels. One step further, depending on the graph, they will need equal intervals and correct data values displayed.

If you have visited the High Line this week, you may have noticed a peculiar new addition: there's a mobile home parked on Gansevoort Plaza, under the High Line at Gansevoort and Washington Streets.
The trailer traveled all the way from Sullivan County, NY, and it's all part of Francis Cape's The Other End of the Line — a new public art installation commissioned by Friends of the High Line and debuting to the public on Friday, October 22 at 6:30 PM.
Maneuvering a trailer of this size into Manhattan is no easy feat. It arrived late Monday evening when the towing truck could safely back it into place under the High Line.
Since then, Friends of the High Line and Cape have been busy preparing the trailer's interior for its public debut. Working with Ian Berry, Curator of the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, Cape is transforming it into a public exhibition space featuring works by emerging artists living and working in Upstate New York.
Please join us to celebrate the debut of The Other End of the Line at the opening reception at 6:30 PM on Friday, October 22. The opening reception will be followed by an artist talk from 7:30 to 8:30 PM in the 14th Street Passage (on the High Line at 14th Street).
The Other End of the Line will be on view between Friday, October 22 and Sunday, November 21. The exhibition will be open daily from 2:00 to 8:00 PM on weekdays and from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekends.

Bulls, Heat have much in common
Conspiracy theories probably are valid when it comes to the Bulls' scheduled dates against the Miami Heat.
They'll meet for the first time this season Friday night at American Airlines Arena. The other three meetings are set for Feb. 21 and later when a certain MVP point guard should be back from knee surgery.
For now it seems apparent that Miami is still the class of the Eastern Conference, and the Bulls, when Rose gets healthy, will ultimately be the Heat's biggest threat. Friday's game won't do much toward proving or disproving that theory.
It is amazing, though, how much these teams have in common.
Until winning in Orlando on Wednesday, the Bulls seemed to be in a holiday lull, with 3 losses in the previous four games, all by double digits.
Miami's last four games featured double-digit losses at Detroit and Milwaukee, then it needed overtime this week to beat Orlando and Dallas.
The Bulls are bemoaning a lack of rebounds. After dominating the boards early this season, they've been outrebounded in eight of their last 10 games. Granted, the differential was a mere minus-1 against the Magic.
The Heat, meanwhile, has defied all logic by posting a 22-8 record despite ranking 29th in the league in rebounds per game.
The lack of rebounds probably can be explained by the reliance on a small lineup. Miami seems to have given up on the idea of developing a center and is using Chris Bosh as the de-facto five.
Udonis Haslem, once one of the team's best rebounders, is averaging less than 20 minutes per game.
Both coaches have been accused of wearing down players. For the Bulls, Luol Deng and Joakim Noah rank first and third, respectively, in minutes per game. Noah skipped the Orlando game Wednesday because of an illness. His status for the Heat is unknown.
Miami star LeBron James sat out practice Thursday to received treatment on a bruised right knee, though he expects to play against the Bulls. James logged a total of 90 minutes in this week's two overtime games and has played at least 40 minutes in eight of the last 15.
Overall, though, James is tied for sixth in the league in minutes per game at 38.4, behind Deng, Kevin Durant, Noah, Kobe Bryant and Jrue Holiday.
Both the Bulls and the Heat are working new players into the mix this season, with mixed results.
Bulls shooting guard Marco Belinelli, for example, had a good game the first time he went back to the bench in favor of Richard Hamilton.
Belinelli hasn't done much the past two games. Against the Magic, coach Tom Thibodeau sent Hamilton back onto the floor late in the fourth quarter.
Since coming back from the foot injury, Hamilton had been playing the first seven or eight minutes of the first and third quarters, then sitting out the rest of the half.
Kirk Hinrich, an old Bulls newcomer, returned from a bruised knee of his own against Orlando and had 8 assists.
The Heat essentially added two new players. Ray Allen, 37, has been reliable, averaging 11.6 points while shooting an impressive 45.6 percent from 3-point range.
Rashard Lewis, on the other hand, is averaging just 5.4 points and hasn't played since Dec. 20.
The Bulls haven't gotten a complete effort since the Dec. 21 win at New York. During the last five games, it seems as though some players show up and others don't.
Against Orlando, Carlos Boozer, Luol Deng and Taj Gibson -- starting in place of Noah -- helped the Bulls grab a win.
It will take at least eight guys playing well to stay competitive against the Heat.
