Gun Shots Fired At Glasses Malone "Eastsidin" (Crips) Video Shoot In Flatbush B, NY!
"Behind The Scenes At the Glasses Malone video shoot in Brooklyn. (East 21st and Church) There was an earlier altercation where at DJ was slapped in the face by a local crip member. We knew he was going to come back, so we tried to wrap up the shoot early. During the final take, they came back three deep and all three got beat up. At the 2:09 mark you see one person getting jumped by at least 12 people. After he gets stomped out, someone lets a shot off in the air and everyone runs for cover!" - Pow-TV

You may have seen him walking down Central, head down, guitar on his back, handlebar mustache and long, blackened fingernails. He's not much of a talker, though he's liable to take off his shirt on stage, revealing a thick mat of curly black chest hair. Swirling around in the local Mythos of Zoltán is the fact that he was banned from the Golden West for getting naked. "I've been known to showcase my hairy body parts and such at other shows," he says.
Born in the westernmost part of Romania, known as Transylvania, Székely is a citizen of four countries. He lived in Canada and Hungary before coming to the states 10 years ago. "I moved here at 16 with my mom and my sister," he says. "My mom was a nurse, and this was one of the few states where she didn't need an American nursing license."
Thus began Székely's life in New Mexico, a strange place for someone with ambitions to work full-time as a musician. "I am making a living, not just trying," Székely says. "I don't have a car, and I live in very cheap places. I've donated plasma for money. I've had my brain scanned for me at the Mind Institute."
The idea that he could make music to make money was planted in his head by a man Székely calls Reggie, the Texan. "He told me about all these shows he did for $500 and whatnot. So I said, Well I think I'd rather do that than get a job." Székely taught himself a four-hour repertoire of classical music, then showed up at restaurants to find out who would pay him to play. With his band Zoltán Orkestar, Székely performs at weddings, bars and restaurants. The players call it "gypsy-
Though similar genres are popular right now with American bands like A Hawk and A Hacksaw, DeVotchKa and Beirut, Székely's influences are the nomadic Roma bands he watched growing up in Hungary. "Romania and Hungary have the largest gypsy populations in the world." He absorbed the culture, he says. "Living amongst gypsies, you're immersed in that music and the whole Eastern European tradition as well." Romania and Hungary have a large population of excellent musicians, he adds, all of whom are at a level that is rarely seen other places. "But I'm obviously biased," he says.
Zoltán isn't the only Székely in the Orkestar. "We met her three months ago. She was interested in trying out for our band," he says. After further prodding, he mentions that he married the auditioning singer, Glynda, eight weeks ago.
Bandmate John Keith (accordion) fills in the rest, explaining, "He just called me up one morning and said, 'John, we need a witness.' They were getting married around the block."
Székely interjects. "People were surprised. And that's about it."
Keith, with his light Tennessean accent, laughs. "Zoltán, as you can tell, he's a light-spoken fellow. We were all just astonished that he could be that aggressive." Glynda, they say, is a great vocalist and a lot of fun. Being in a band with his new wife, Székely says, is "the most wonderful thing in the world."

How to Measure a Gauge Swatch
In knitting and crochet, accuracy counts when measuring your gauge swatch. Before you measure your gauge swatch, wash and block it, if that's what you'd do for the completed project. Next, smooth out the swatch on a flat surface, like a blocking or ironing board. Pin down the edges of the gauge swatch if they're curling in, and be careful not to stretch your swatch.
For stitches, lay a ruler along a row of stitches and mark the beginning and end of 4 inches with pins.
If your second pin lands at half a stitch, don't be tempted to stretch or slightly squish your fabric to make the 4 inches end on a whole stitch.
Note the number of stitches in 4 inches.
Fractions and all!
For rows, lay your ruler along a vertical line of stitches.
Align the bottom of the ruler with the bottom of a stitch or row.
Put a pin in to show where the first stitch begins, then place another pin 4 inches up.
This step marks off the area that will represent your gauge.
Count the stitches between the pins and note the number of rows.
Check to see if your 4-inch gauge matches the one in the pattern.
If your gauge swatch doesn't match the one specified in the pattern you want to use and you want your project to come out the same size as the pattern measures, change the needle size you're working on and make another swatch. If your first swatch is smaller than specified, then use larger needles. If your swatch is larger than specified, use smaller needles.

Over the millennia people have been collecting/hoarding/hanging onto objects for a variety of reasons, mostly, I suspect, because those items were pleasing to them in some fashion. I'm certainly not an anthropologist or an interior designer, but I'm willing to bet that a curio cabinet wasn't too far behind in furniture invention once the basic bed, table and chair got sorted out. And curio cabinets of natural wonders were the beginnings of privately-owned natural history collections.
Of course, people wanted to show off their cabinets of wonders; plus they were curious and wanted to see other people's cabinets of wonders. Next thing you know there were exhibitions; then, folks got all high-minded about civic duty and education, and voila! Museums! Well, that's the really, really condensed version. But I do have a case study for you.
In 1909, twenty fine, upstanding pillars of the Houston community became charter members of the newly incorporated Houston Museum and Scientific Society, "With the purpose of obtaining for Houston a free public museum of natural history…" That last bit comes from the first bulletin of the Society printed in January 1910. The first four pages of the bulletin entail the mission and goals of the Society and are followed by the constitution and by-laws. But it's those first few pages that hold the most interest.
Reading this document, written nearly a century ago by charter member Moritz Tiling (listed as Teacher and Journalist), you get both a glimpse of a past era and a commentary on the state of American museums that is startlingly contemporary. Tiling pointed out that European museums were "…erected by the different governments and are supported by liberal education funds and endowments; but in the United States the existing museums of art and natural history are the result of the untiring labors of men interested in scientific research and of the liberality and the munificence of public-spirited and wealthy individuals."
Today, in (almost) 2009 we would say "the untiring labors of women and men," but there's no doubt that nearly all museums in this country still rely on generous donors. Tiling returns to the topic of generous wealthy donors several times, but also enlists the aid of regular citizens. (Houston history factoid here: by 1910, per capita Houston bank deposits were $370 while the national average was $194.) "The financial assistance of all progressive people of Houston and Harris County, ladies as well as gentlemen (emphasis mine), and the co-operation of the press is respectfully solicited. All liberal-minded citizens of our city and county, with a generous heart and interest in the advancement of science, should participate in the noble undertaking." While it's interesting to note that the words "progressive" and "liberal-minded" are, unfortunately, currently politically tinged, the sentiment that it's the assistance of Houstonians and regular patrons who enable the science museum still holds true. We can't do it without you!
The charter members themselves were a mixed lot of "energetic and well-known business men and citizens of Harris county(sic)". Their names are not listed alphabetically in the bulletin but in a seemingly random order. It's unknowable if the members chose the description of their professions or if the era itself defined them, but I just have to share some of them, along with a comment or two. You might recognize some of the names. W.F. Carothers, Attorney and Astronomer; J.J. Pastoriza, Capitalist; N.S. Schmitz, Real Estate, Geologist; Jno. J. Green, Artist (haven't a clue what Jno. is an abbreviation for); C.L. & Theo Bering, Bering Hardware Store; Henry H. Dickson, Manager Dickson Car Wheel Works (the first automobile arrived in Houston in April 1901); R.G. James, Taxidermist (bet he came in handy for future collections); Clarence L. Brock, Naturalist (later, he also ran the zoo); Edward Brock, Traveling Salesman. The lone female charter member was Miss Julia Ideson, Librarian Carnegie Public Library. Yes, that Julia Ideson, as in the Julia Ideson Library building downtown. Other members included Mayor Rice, the County Attorney, and the Superintendent of Houston Schools. Not surprising for 1909, all members were of European descent.
There were mundane topics that had to be covered such as where, what and how much. Mayor Rice offered space in the new city auditorium, then located on the spot where Jones Hall now resides. Later, the small exhibits would be housed in the downtown library, thanks no doubt to Julia Ideson. A general list of specimens to be collected and exhibited were named but the Society also announced its first loan, charter member J.H.G. Becker's collection of specimens and artifacts from "German East Africa." In a future post I'll delve into some of our Museum's first collections. Society Members annual dues were $2.00, discounted to $1.00 for students but strictly "payable in advance."
However, the mission set forth by the Society is remarkably prescient. The Society saw its purpose as "…a strictly educational organization for the advancement of science, for the people, and for public recreation." Its goal laid down as "…the establishing and maintaining of a public museum and library of natural science and history; of encouraging and developing the study of natural science; of advancing the general knowledge of kindred subjects, and to that end of furnishing popular instruction and recreation."
Folks, that's pretty darn near the current HMNS mission statement. Just think, twenty citizens with a clear vision of how they wanted to share the wonders of natural sciences with the people of Houston and Harris County. One hundred years on, it's still what we aim to accomplish and what we're doing every day.

There are many reasons for serving up dynamic content from a web site: to offer an online shopping site, create customized information pages for users, or just manage a large volume of content through a database. Anyone with a modest knowledge of HTML and web site management can learn to create dynamic content through the PHP programming language and the MySQL database. This book gives you the background and tools to do the job safely and reliably.
Web Database Applications with PHP and MySQL, Second Edition thoroughly reflects the needs of real-world applications. It goes into detail on such practical issues as validating input (do you know what a proper credit card number looks like?), logging in users, and using templates to give your dynamic web pages a standard look.
But this book goes even further. It shows how JavaScript and PHP can be used in tandem to make a user's experience faster and more pleasant. It shows the correct way to handle errors in user input so that a site looks professional. It introduces the vast collection of powerful tools available in the PEAR repository and shows how to use some of the most popular tools.
Even while it serves as an introduction to new programmers, the book does not omit critical tasks that web sites require. For instance, every site that allows updates must handle the possibility of multiple users accessing data at the same time. This book explains how to solve the problem in detail with locking.
Through a sophisticated sample application--Hugh and Dave's Wine Store--all the important techniques of dynamic content are introduced. Good design is emphasized, such as dividing logic from presentation. The book introduces PHP 5 and MySQL 4.1 features, while providing techniques that can be used on older versions of the software that are still in widespread use.
This new edition has been redesigned around the rich offerings of PEAR. Several of these, including the Template package and the database-independent query API, are fully integrated into examples and thoroughly described in the text. Topics include:

It is extremely difficult for health care consumers (patients) to navigate through the confusing and frustrating world of medical insurance. Most insurance plans change frequently, often with shrinking benefits and growing co-pays and deductibles.
In order to be a SMART healthcare consumer, you must know what types of services are covered by your insurance plan, which providers are covered or in-network, how to find answers to questions like these, and how to contact your health insurance company to appeal or dispute a decision on coverage. Most clinics and hospitals can answer some basics questions about common health insurance plans, but there are hundreds of insurance plans out there and it is the primary responsibility of the health care consumer (patient) to know the details of his or her medical insurance plan and benefits.
For example, you should know…
• What is a co-pay and do I have one?
A co-pay is a set fee that is charged each time a person visits a health-care provider (anywhere from $2 to $50 depending on the plan). Some insurances charge a co-pay for lab and nursing visits as well, but most only charge the co-pay for a provider visit.
• What is co-insurance and do I have one?
Co-insurance is a set percentage of a bill charged to the patient for various different types of health care costs. Some insurances charge a co-insurance on labs, provider visits, procedures (such as electrocardiogram, incision and drainage, etc.) or a combination of these.
• What is a deductible and do I have one?
A deductible is a set amount of money per year that the healthcare consumer has to pay out-of-pocket before insurance benefits kick in. Often, deductibles for individuals and families are different. It is crucial for consumers to know when the deductible year starts for their plan, so elective medical costs can be spent toward the end of the deductible year if the deductible has already been met, or at the beginning of a deductible year if it has not been met.
• What services are not covered by my health insurance plan?
Some insurance plans do not cover mental health services, pre-existing conditions (at least for some period of time after starting on a new insurance plan), pre-natal/maternity care, birth-control or sterilization procedures, medical equipment, etc.
• Do I receive a "free" annual health maintenance exam under my plan, and when am I due for that?
Most insurances provide an annual health maintenance or wellness exam for free, not subject to any deductible or co-insurance and often not even subject to a co-pay. Make sure to let your healthcare provider know that you are scheduling and expecting your annual wellness exam, so it can be performed and coded as such in order to receive this annual benefit.
• Do my children receive annual well-child examinations for free, and when are they due for this?
Most insurances provide these regular health maintenance visits (including immunizations) for free. Call your insurance company or read your plan to figure out the periodicity of these free exams and when your child is next due for this.
• Does my insurance restrict which providers I may see? Does my plan fall under a PPO (preferred provider organization) and if so, who is in-network for this?
Most insurances have this information available online, or you can call your insurance to verify that a certain provider or facility is covered by your plan.
• For Medicare patients with supplemental insurance, does my supplemental insurance pay my annual Medicare deductible and all co-insurance for visits, or only part of these costs?
• For Medicare patients with a Medicare Advantage plan, are there certain providers and facilities that are in or out of network for me?
• For Medicare patients, make sure you schedule your free Welcome to Medicare physical, and annual Medicare wellness exams after that. These types of exams are completely covered by Medicare and do not apply to the annual Medicare deductible or any co-insurance.
• For patients without health insurance, talk to your provider/clinic/facility about any discounts that can be given for those without insurance. Often these discounts for the uninsured are significant, but may require payment at the time of service. Also, contact Social Services to inquire about any potential assitance that may be available.
Being armed with a full understanding of your medical insurance benefits can help you plan ahead for your portion of medical bills and can also help you identify errors in the medical billing process. Please read the details of your insurance plan or call the number on the back of your insurance card to clarify any questions you may have about your plan.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.
If you don't follow the rules, your comment may be deleted.

At last, a candidate I can believe in! (Fingers crossed!) Tonight, Stephen Colbert is expected to announce whether or not he'll make a genuine bid for the presidency as a write-in candidate in South Carolina's Republican primary. Stephen! Stephen! Stephen! Stephen! This is a political no-brainer, people. Colbert did, after all, recently poll ahead of Jon Huntsman in his home state of SC. (And he wasn't even officially on the ballot!)
Oh, Stephen Colbert ... for you and you alone, I would vote Republican.
I've been convinced Colbert would make an excellent prez for months now. And not just because his show is the one thing that can make me laugh at the end of an abysmally terrible day ...
1. Stephen Colbert is more politically well-informed than most politicians. It's true; the man knows his issues inside and out. We've seen it happen on the Report time and time again ... Colbert is more knowledgeable about his guest's background or agenda than the actual guest (his interview with Huntsman is a perfect example).
2. Stephen Colbert is tolerant. Nope, he's not a racist, not a misogynist, not an anything-ist. He's not even homophobic! Unlike some candidates (ahem, Santorum). Bla people? REALLY?
3. Stephen Colbert is respectful. Even when he doesn't necessarily agree with or like the opposition, he never resorts to below-the-belt jabs. Like when he referred to Mitt Romney as a "juggerishnaut." "Sure, he's not the warmest candidate or the most conservative, but you know? He's there."
4. Stephen Colbert is cool. Oh, you think it doesn't matter if the president is cool or not? Consider the all-important campaign song choice. In the past, musicians have protested the appropriation of their music by politicians, so horrified were they at the notion of being associated with, oh, I don't know, Michele Bachmann? (Tom Petty is not a fan!) Colbert is tight with everyone from Jack White to The Black Keys to Vampire Weekend. His campaign would have the best soundtrack ever!
5. Stephen Colbert is a god-fearing man. Because there's no better way to point out the hypocrisies and inconsistencies of religion than to help the faithful promote bass-ackwards ideas like "Jesus-ween."
Why do you think Stephen Colbert would make a great president?

A little girl struggles to say who she loves and her dad couldn't make out the words.
The two-year-old professed her love to country singer Luke Bryan during bath time. The video of the father-daughter episode went viral, followed by an in person meeting with the superstar.
As Ava Finley took a bath last year, the toddler began babbling with her dad Jonathan Finley and he started shooting video of her chatter. At first, he didn't know exactly what she was talking about.
"A little bunny? You look funny?" he asked.
What the little girl from Calera, Ala. was trying to tell her father was — Luke Bryan! Her pronunciation was a little tough to make out.
"I love him!" she exclaimed.
Ava became a Bryan fan after listening to his music with her aunts. "Play It Again" is her favorite song.
Ava's mom first shared the video on her personal Facebook page last year. After being nudged by friends, she posted it to Twitter in April of this year and tagged Bryan, who eventually saw the video and retweeted it. His record label got in contact with the Finleys and invited them to a concert and meet-and-greet this year.
"She is really shy around people she doesn't know. I was kind of afraid she would chicken out," said Ava's mom Adrian Finley.
Dressed up in her cowboy boots and a white bow, Ava finally met Bryan before his concert in Atlanta on Aug. 23. Upon seeing her, Bryan scooped up Ava and gave her a big hug. He shared the moment on his Facebook page.
"She was even cuter in person," Bryan wrote.

One of the eight badminton players who was disqualified from the Olympics for match-fixing is fighting back against those allegations, while also announcing her retirement from professional competition.
Yu Yang (pictured, left) took to Tencent Weibo (a Twitter-type of microblogging service popular in China) to respond to a reporter's posting that Wang Xiaoli, her teammate, had injured her knee in warmups before the match that ultimately ended their Olympics. The reporter, Zhang Nan, wrote this, perhaps in a desperate spot to explain what one media outlet called a "farce" of a match:
I just learned a piece of information from the team ~~ Wang Xiaoli injured her right knee in warmups before today's competition ~ because they had already advanced out of the group stage, they held back* during the match ~ also discovered opponents basically didn't warm up ~ understood they had no intention of winning the match ~ during the match the opponent first shaved a point ~ affected their [Chinese team's] state of mind ~ in end the led to today's situation ~ if only there were nothing to Wang Xiaoli's injury ~~
Which prompted this response from Yu:
Tomorrow is the knockout round, we don't have much time to make adjustments. No matter the result, we'll give it our all. Hope fans can understand our situation.
Hours later, the Badminton World Federation announced that Yu, her teammate, and six others had been disqualified for match-fixing, even though it's the result of an inherently flawed system, one that allows players to essentially decide which part of the bracket they'd like to be seeded into, provided they can lose at the right time. But after the BWF's announcement, Yu took to Tencent to drop this revelation:
This is my last competition. Goodbye Badminton World Federation, goodbye my beloved badminton.
Followed by:
We were simply injured, simply chose to abandon the match within the rules. Simply to play better in the second phase of competition, the knockout rounds. This is the first time the Olympics changed the rules to have pool play before knockout rounds, do you guys understand an athlete's injury? Four years of preparation and hard work with injury, (they) say it's gone and our right to compete is gone. You guys ruthlessly* shattered our dreams. Situation's just that simple, not complicated, but is so unforgivable.
So you see, they were just injured and wanted to get the match over with. That's all it really was. Had nothing at all with them trying to get a cushier seeding in their bracket. Nope, nothing to see here.

Diamante Poems
|3 – 12
|Tech Requirement
Why Use This Tool
Diamante poems give children a leg up in creating a poem. These diamond-shaped poems follow a set structure, requiring children to supply different parts of speech, such as adjectives and ing words. The poem's seven lines may be used to describe one topic or two. For instance, the poem can be all about chocolate ice cream or about ice cream and hot chocolate. The middle line (the fourth) can be seen as a link, where the writer makes the connection between the two.
Heres What To Do
Print out the examples of diamante poems provided in the tool or review them online. The synonym example reflects a one-topic poem and the antonym example uses two topics that are opposites. Let children choose their own poem topics. Favorite sports, foods, vacation spots, and seasons are natural choices. The child then fills in each blank, supplying the requested part of speech. If the child is doing a single-topic poem, both the beginning and ending subjects will be the same. When tackling two topics, the fourth line needs four nouns or a phrase that introduces the second topic.
Don't forget to save or print before starting a new poem! The child can even e-mail their final gem to a friend or relative.
More Ideas To Try
- Their diamond shape makes diamante poems perfect for inserting in homemade greeting cards. They make an ideal tribute to someone on their birthday or special day. What mom or dad wouldnt love one?
- Take the diamond theme one step further by writing diamante poems about diamond-related subjectsdiamond gems, the Hope Diamond, baseball diamonds, or the diamond suit on playing cards.
- In addition to opposites, children can pair up two subjects that are related or connected, such as sunshine and sunburns (ouch!). Also try two subjects that demonstrate a transformation such as caterpillar to butterfly or seed to flower.
- Encourage children to choose themselves as a topic. The poems can contrast what the children were like as babies or toddlers to the children today.

There are types of malware that use rootkits to hide their presence on a system.
In 2005, the first examples of malware that used rootkits (as external tools or techniques within its code) emerged in order to evade detection. Bots, adware and spyware added these characteristics to their own, a trend that has continued to increase.
Similarly, these programs go hand-in-glove with the new cyber-crime malware dynamic: for malware to be exploited for financial gain, stealth is vitally important. Rootkits enable malware to remain hidden on a computer for much longer without being detected.
This is a technique or program that exploits a security flaw -a vulnerability- in a certain communication protocol, operating system or IT tool.
This flaw allows operations that can cause abnormal functioning of the application and can be caused intentionally by malicious users, allowing them to execute code remotely, launch denial of service attacks, disclose information or escalate privileges.
Adware programs display advertisements associated to the products or services offered by the creator of the program or third-parties. Adware can be installed in a number of ways, in some occasions without users' consent, and either with or without users' knowledge of its function.
The classification of this type of program is controversial, as there are those who consider it a type of spyware. While this may be true to a certain extent, adware programs, as such, are not used with criminal intent, but to advertise products and services, and the information collected does not include users' bank details, but web pages visited or favorites, etc.
Generally, a dialer tries to establish a phone connection with a premium-rate number.
However, dialers only affect computers that use a modem to connect to the Internet, as it modifies the phone and modem configuration, changing the number provided by the ISP (Internet Service provider), which is normally charged at local rates, for a toll-rate number.
This type of malware is gradually disappearing as the number of users with modem connections decreases.

More information
Purchasers in most large Canadian centres can add Land Transfer Taxes to their list of closing costs.
Unless you live in Alberta, Saskatchewan, or rural Nova Scotia, land transfer taxes (or property purchase tax) are a basic fact of life. These taxes, levied on properties that are changing hands, are the responsibility of the purchaser. Depending on where you live, taxes can range from a half a per cent to two per cent of the total value of the property.
Many provinces have multi-tiered taxation systems that can prove complicated. If you purchase a property for $260,000 in Ontario, for example, .5 per cent is charged on the first $55,000, 1 per cent is charged on $55,000 - $250,000, while the $250,000 - $400,000 range is taxed at 1.5 per cent. Your total tax bill? $2,375.00.

Work Opportunity Tax Credit
Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a federal tax credit available to employers large and small. If your motor carrier pays federal taxes, you are eligible to leverage the WOTC program.
Enacted by Congress in 1996, the WOTC was created to encourage employers to hire individuals who typically have a difficult time finding a job.
Virtually any employers in industries such as trucking, manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution which rely on an hourly-wage and entry-level employee pools are well suited to capture significant tax credits using the WOTC.
Representing a permanent reduction in income tax, WOTC directly reduces a business's effective tax rate. There is no limit to the amount of credit available through the program as a whole or to a single employer.
WOTC + Trucking = Perfect Fit
Twenty percent of all new drivers will be eligible for the WOTC program.
Eligible Drivers are averaging approximately $2,150 in tax credits.
Internal staff spends 0.5 hours managing the WOTC Program each month.
There is zero disruption of payroll, accounting, human resources or recruiting staff .
You could reduce or eliminate your Federal Tax Liability by 50% - 100%.
We all know there is a 100% chance you will be hiring new drivers and employees this year, so why not leverage WOTC?
Clarus Solutions + Your Motor Carrier = Perfect Fit
Trucking Focused – Clarus understands the unique relationship between carrier and drivers (for-hire, private, LTL, OTR).
Contingent-based Fees – Clarus is compensated based on performance.
100% Retention – Clarus has retained every trucking and logistics client to date.
Easy2Start – The engine starts with a turnkey project plan managed by our team, not yours.

A question occurred to me today. As normal, I need my afternoon coffee. However, feeling excessively lazy, instead of making a new pot of coffee, I decided to simply fill the coffee pot back up and use the same filter from earlier this morning. As you can imagine, it wasn't exactly indulgent. Yet, I began to wonder if the coffee I was drinking was actually weaker, or was it my anticipation of it being weaker that made it so. Project!
Have your students conduct a blind taste test with other faculty members being their dummies. I would even let your students call them dummies...at least for the day. The taste test will involve each faculty to sample 3 small cups of coffee and record their data without knowing which cup of coffee is which.
Cup 1: First pot of coffee.
Cup 2: Same filter, same coffee, 2nd pot of water
Cup 3: Same filter, same coffee, 3rd pot of water
The survey should be something simple, but measurable. For example, have them rank each cup of coffee on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest.
Things to account for
- When ranking, will the dummy be comparing the tastes of one cup to the other cups only, or will they be comparing them to previous cups of coffee. For example, if the dummy loves a White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks as their number 10, they may rank all three of your cups a 1's or 2's. Thus, to account for this, you may want to raise the ranking system from 1-10 to something like 1-100.
- Will the cups be served black or with sweater and cream? If the latter, you shuld make sure that each cup receives nearly the same amount.
After Results:
Have each student calculate some descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, standard deviation, etc) and draw some conclusions. Does using the same filter and same coffee really make the coffee noticeably weaker? Or is it in our imagination?
Finally, the most important part of the activity is the after-activity discussion. Why might the tests be inaccurate? Was are sample size appropriate? What could we have done better? How might a double-blind test affect the results? Why might companies use blind taste tests when comparing their product to their competitors
Have fun...send me some pics if you decide to do the project!

All year long, there was one big question about the San Francisco 49ers.
No matter how well their defense played, people wondered if Alex Smith was a good enough quarterback to lead them deep into the playoffs. No matter how well the 49ers ran the ball, people wondered if Smith would eventually be their downfall. No matter how good a job Smith did of protecting the ball and putting his team in a position to win, people wondered if the former first overall pick could win a game if circumstances demanded he do it.
All of those questions crystallized with four minutes left in the 49ers' game against the Saints on Sunday. Darren Sproles had just scored on a 44-yard play to put the Saints ahead 24-23 and Smith was facing the biggest moment of his career. Everything had broken right for the 49ers as the Saints kept turning the ball over and the defense held Drew Brees in check, but they were now losing and needed Smith to bail them out largely because he couldn't move the offense enough to take advantage of all their opportunities.
U.S. & World
If San Francisco lost, there would have been serious and legitimate questions about whether or not Smith could ever develop into the quarterback that the Niners needed to take the next step in their progression back to the top of the league. Losing that game, at home, would open the job to a competition with rookie Colin Kaepernick and confirm every doubt raised about Smith in his first seven NFL seasons.
Smith didn't lose the game. He won it and he did it in about the most fantastic, did I just see what I thought I saw way possible.
After driving the Niners into field goal range with a long completion to tight end Vernon Davis, Smith and the Niners faced a third-and-eight that screamed for a conservative play to ensure they took the lead. Jim Harbaugh, further confirming his spot as the hottest thing to hit coaching in some time, went the other way and called a quarterback sweep around left end. Smith got great blocking and went 28 yards for a touchdown that started to shake up everyone's perceptions.
Just as an aside: Check out a replay of the run and focus on left tackle Joe Staley's downfield block on Saints safety Isa Abdul-Quddus. Great play call and great run by Smith, but Staley is the reason it was a touchdown.
One other aside: There's a lot of discussion about whether or not Smith should have gone down on the one and run more clock out before kicking a field goal. A fair point, although one that redefines being a wet blanket given the way things wound up playing out.
It also might be a moot point. Brees needed just 34 seconds to answer with another touchdown, time he would have had if Smith took a knee, and left Smith with another chance to rewrite the story of his career. Smith took it. He stood in against a defense that brought the house on blitz after blitz and found Davis for another long play and again had them in range of an easy tying field goal with 14 seconds to play.
Harbaugh showed supreme faith in his quarterback one more time, though, and Smith made it pay off with a perfect pass to Davis a yard into the end zone. The tight end, who was a beast all day, held on through a violent collision, calling to mind Terrell Owens' 1998 game-winner against the Packers right down to the tears on the sideline.
With that, Smith answered every question that we'd been asking about him. He won a game when the Niners had no choice but putting it into his hands and he did it twice in four minutes. And, just like that, Smith's entire career of disappointment and frustration melted away.
Maybe it doesn't last and everything goes haywire against the Giants next Sunday. It's a lot easier to believe in Smith and the Niners after those four minutes, though, and, whatever happens, Alex Smith is seen in a very different light today than he has been at any other point in his career.

Crunch time comes for Omaha mayoral candidates
Five of Omaha's mayoral candidates took advantage of the weekend's warm weather to campaign in neighborhoods across the metro.
The most recent campaign finance filings with the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission indicate a costly race so far, with more than $2 million spent.
Mayor Jim Suttle, a Democrat, leads the pack with $422,000 spent so far and an additional $140,000 in cash on hand. That's $172,000 more than Suttle spent in the 2009 primary.
Suttle said he will "plan the work and work the plan." He said his slogan, "Getting things done," came from the citizens of Omaha.
"That's our thing," Suttle said. "Getting things done for four more years."
City Council member Jean Stothert spent about $321,000 on the primary and believes her time at City Hall makes her the best person to lead Omaha.
"There's no substitution for current experience, and I've been doing what the others are just promising to do right now," Stothert said.
Stothert said she believes there is a difference between what voters living in different parts of Omaha are most concerned with.
"The issue west of 680 is taxes and spending and smarter budgets," she said. "I think east of 680 there is a lot more concern about crime."
Former City Council President Dan Welch also believes his experience in the council chambers, as well as his law office and business, gives him the edge.
"This is a time when we need someone who understands contracts and understands pensions and understands how to make those changes that are necessary for the city," Welch said. "So I think more than anything else that's what sets me apart from the other four."
Welch spent about $294,000 on the election so far, which is $41,000 more than Dave Nabity.
Nabity spent $253,000 and is the third conservative in the nonpartisan race. He believes experience only counts for so much and that he is a fresh start.
"They didn't get it done when they were on the council and the mayor didn't get it done while he was running the city, so it is time to let somebody new from the business community step up and really try to reorganize things so we can move in the right direction," Nabity said.
Independent Brad Ashford may have spent the least amount of money on the primary, $223,000; however, he may have the most experience campaigning. Ashford thinks reducing crime is a factor in the race, but believes most have questions about easing their tax payments.
"I think people are looking for an answer," Ashford said. "I believe the city/county consolidation is absolutely the answer. But I think they're looking to get their taxes down."
All five candidates want voters to cast their ballots Tuesday. The Douglas County Election Commissioner has predicted 18 percent of voters will turn out for the primary.

Qatar was recognised as the World's Leading Sports Tourism Destination at a grand final ceremony of the World Travel Awards (WTA) 2013 held at Doha's La Cigale Hotel yesterday.
Qatar clinched the award among other top contenders comprising Abu Dhabi, Auckland, Beijing, Dubai, Durban, London, Melbourne, New Orleans, Rio de Janerio, Seoul, Tokyo and Vancouver.
The award was received by three representatives of the Qatar Tourism Authority.
Described as the "Oscars of the Travel Industry", WTA is marking its 20th anniversary this year and the Doha ceremony completed the "World Grand Tour" which has seen awards presented across five continents.
Qatar Museums Authority chairperson HE Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad al-Thani and Sheikh Jassim bin Abdulaziz al-Thani were guests of honour at the event.
WTA was established in 1993 to "recognise, acknowledge and reward" leading travel, tourism and hospitality organisations in the world.
In all, over 1,500 nominees in 173 categories competed for an award at the ceremony which was attended by crème de la crème of the travel, hotels, airlines and hospitality industry.
While most of the awards for the region went to the UAE, a number of organisations and hotels in Qatar proved their mettle by winning some of the honours.
The La Cigale Hotel won two awards, World's Leading Hotel Dining and Entertainment Experience and World's Excellence in Service, and St Regis Hotel World's Leading Business Hotel.
While the World's Leading Travel Agency awards went to the Regency Travels and Tours, the Katara Hospitality won the World's Leading Hospitality Company. The Royal Villa at the Sharq Village and Spa was given the World's Leading Villa award.
The W-Doha Hotel and Residences bagged the World's Leading Hotel Residences.
Speaking at the ceremony, WTA president and founder Graham E Cooke said the awards' grand final ceremony was the culmination of the year-long tourism and hospitality brands, companies and organisations worldwide, across six continents and involving more than 9,000 nominees.
"To hold our grand final of 2013, alongside our 20th anniversary year, has indeed been an honour for WTA. We have long regarded the Middle East as a hub for cutting-edge sophistication, luxury and innovation in the world tourism landscape and the grand final could not have been held in a more dynamic and important city."
He acknowledged that Qatar is an "undisputed leader and innovator in the global economic landscape", saying: "Following the announcement that Qatar would become the first in the Middle East to host the FIFA World Cup in 2022, a four-decade long process of development was given fresh impetus."
He said: "Infrastructure is being developed, stadiums planned, hotels designed, airports built and ports created, in what is now one of the most forward-looking communities on earth. Doha combines a rich tapestry of culture and history, with outstanding service and myriad culinary styles, which have contributed to it becoming one of the world's top destinations in the Middle East."
Cooke thanked Sheikha al-Mayassa for her presence on the occasion and congratulated her for having a strong passion in art preservation and restoration.
He also thanked La Cigale for hosting the event alongside the Qatar National Bank as event partner and Doha Insurance Company as main sponsor.
Highlights of the event, compered by Turkish broadcaster Ece Vahapoglu, included a celebrity performance by Lebanese artiste Maya Diab, Syrian folkloric show by Enana and an electrifying fusion performance by solo violinist Micah.

The California Department of Conservation assures the wise use of California's mineral, geothermal, petroleum, and soil resources, and administers the state's Beverage Container Recycling Program. This department also administers the California Land Conservation (Williamson) Act which encourages maintaining agricultural and open space status. This program provides financial incentives to private owners to provide open-space lands for hiking, camping, and fishing. Protection of natural habitats for animals, soil conservation, safe underground and surface water are among this department's responsibilities. Complaint responsibility includes areas listed below.

The Division of Mines and Geology serves as California's geological surveyor, identifies geological seismic hazards and their underlying causes, regulates all mined lands reclamation and the conservation. Wise use of mineral resources is regulated by the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act.
The Division of Oil, Geothermal Resources, and Gas supervises the drilling, operations, maintenance, and abandonment of oil, gas, and geothermal wells to assure responsible use of these resources and to prevent contamination and damage from drilling operations. It monitors repressuring operations to reduce land instability over or adjacent to oil, gas, or geothermal reservoirs. The division also collects and publishes statistics of oil, gas, and geothermal well drilling and production; maintains maps; and produces technical reports.
The Division of land Resource Protection administers the Williamson Act, which reimburses cities and counties for tax revenue losses resulting from reduced assessment of lands restricted to agricultural and open space purposes. These lands are assessed on income produced rather than market value. It provides comprehensive maps of farmlands, grazing lands, and urban areas in 40 of California's major agricultural counties, and administers the state's Soil Conservation Program.
The Division of Recycling administers the California Beverage container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act, a program providing for large-scale recycling of beverage containers through financial incentives and convenient, economical redemption sources for all consumers in the state.

Dr. Brian Porter of the Hope College management faculty has received national recognition for blending faith and learning.
He received the "Sharon G. Johnson Award" from the Christian Business Faculty Association (CBFA) during the group's annual meeting, which ran Thursday-Saturday, Nov. 6-8, in Indianapolis, Ind. As described by the association, the award "recognizes God-honoring intellectual contributions by individuals who incorporate learning, business and faith into a dynamic process to promote Christian faith integration in business."
Porter's research interests are in ethics and faith integration with business and international business. He has several publications and regularly presents his research at academic conferences.
A member of the Hope faculty since 1999, he has taught a variety of courses at the college, including Finance, Management Theory, his department's Management Seminar, and a First-Year Seminar titled "Vocation and Calling: The Music of U2."
Porter is both a CPA and CMA, and has worked as a public accountant for an international accounting firm and as a managerial accountant for the automotive industry. He graduated from Alma College in 1984, completed his MBA at the University of Michigan in 1990, and completed his doctorate from the Graduate School of Business at IndianaUniversity in 1994.
Multiple members of the Hope faculty attended the CBFA conference, presenting three scholarly papers.
Stacy Jackson, associate professor of management, presented "Anti-Intellectualism is Such a Big Word," centered around a systematic approach to Christian critical engagement. Jackson wrote the paper with Robert Eames, associate professor of management; Dr. Thomas Smith, who is the Dr. Leon A. Bosch '29 Professor of Management and Chairperson of the Department; Dr. Todd Steen, professor of economics; and Dr. Steve VanderVeen, professor of management and director of the Center for Faithful Leadership.
Dr. Kim Hawtrey, professor of economics, and Porter presented "Salt, Light, and Success: Should Christian Businesspeople Bluff?"
Steen and VanderVeen presented "Social Entrepreneurship: A History, Assessment, and Application."
Established in 1980, the CBFA exists to assist and encourage Christian business faculty in the study, integration, teaching and application of biblical truths in service to the academy, students and the business community. The CBFA, which has more than 400 members, sponsors two academic journals in addition to organizing its annual meeting and providing other networking opportunities and resources.
The "Sharon G. Johnson Award" is one of three awards that the CBFA presents. It was first presented in 2006 to Johnson, who was at Cedarville University at the time and is currently professor of management and director of academic research and assessment at Charleston Southern University. He presented this year's award to Porter during the banquet at the conclusion of the conference.

Potholes, while ruining tyres and causing intense levels of irritation, could be put to good use soon if Levant Power Corporation's plans to develop a shock absorber that harnesses the energy made from potholes' jolts actually go ahead.
We first heard of Levant Power Corporation's CEO Shakeel Avadhany's plans last year, when he was an undergraduate student at MIT, but over a year later his environment-friendly plan is still going strong. In fact, he hopes to see the GenShocks devices on the market in the second quarter of 2011.
While prices still haven't been revealed for the GenShocks, they're estimated to cost more than usual shock absorbers, though Avadhany says "you will get those dollars back through improved fuel economy". Another one of those 'spend some money, get money back in savings' type devices.
I don't want to rain on Avadhany's dream, but given the choice I'd much rather see local councils fill in the potholes than have a workaround for gaining benefits from the unsightly holes. [NY Times]

German-Italian Beans, Carob Fruit Bars and Potatoes Whipped With Cheese Recipes: Helen Dollaghan
Helen Dollaghan, food editor of The Denver Post from 1958-1993, selected recipes she felt were the best and published them in this 1987 special section called "30 Years of Rocky Mountain Cooking." Most are recipes Helen or her readers developed.
On Fridays we share several of the recipes from her collection.
Week 20: German-Italian Beans, Carob Fruit Bars and Potatoes Whipped With Cheese
"This is so good you
should get it written up in
The Denver Post," said
one of Freda Beard's
guests when she served
this dish in 1978.
German-Italian Beans
1/2 lb. German sausage, cut in bite-size pieces
1/2 lb. Italian sausage, cut in bite-size pieces
3 medium onions, sliced and separated into rings
1 lb. fresh green beans, snapped in halves
1 teaspoon crushed basil
1 teaspoon crushed summer savory
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon freshley ground pepper
1 cup beef stock or bouillon
1/4 lb. fresh mushrooms, sliced
Small, new potatoes, peeled (optional)
Cook sausage in 5-qt. pan or Dutch oven until brown on all sides. Remove sausage from pan. Add enough cooking oil, if necessary, to drippings to make 3 tablespoons. Saute onion in drippings. Add remaining ingredients. Mix well. bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 30 minutes or until beans and potatoes are done.
As carob became more
familiar in the '70s,
recipes using the
chocolate masquerader
became more prevalent.
Carob Fruit Bars
1 cup unsifted flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup melted butter or cooking oil
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon hot water
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup finely cut dates or figs
1/2 cup chopped nuts
6 oz. carob baking chips
Sift together flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Thoroughly beat butter, brown sugar, water, egg and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture. Add dates and nuts. Spread in greased 8- or 9-inch square pan. Sprinkle carob chips on top. Lightly press chips into dough. Bake in preheated 350-degree oven 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan. Cut into bars. Makes 2 dozen.
After this recipe was
printed in 1975 from
Dorothy Overgard of
Denver, Marion Wells of
Meeker, Colo., wrote to
say she used the same
recipe from the Copper
Kettle Cookbook, named
after an Aspen, Colo.,
Potatoes Whipped With Cheese
3 lbs. potatoes, cooked, peeled and mashed
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter or margarine, softened
2 packages (3 oz. each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Half and half cream
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1 jar (2 oz.) chopped pimientos, drained
With mixer, beat potatoes, butter, cream cheese, cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. Add enough half and half cream to make mixture fluffy and moist. Fold in green pepper, onions and pimientos, reserving some of each to garnish top. Bake, uncovered, in 2-qt. casserole in preheated 350-degree oven about 30 minutes. Serves 8 to 10. (May be assembled, covered and refrigerated a day before serving.)

Subscribe To Joss Whedon Talks Ultron, Calls the Evil Robot 'Genuinely Disturbed' Updates
I've already subscribed
Comic book fans understand Ultron – or, the different versions of Ultron that they've read about in different issues dating all the way back to 1968, when the robot first appeared in Avengers. But film fans who adored Joss Whedon's Marvel's The Avengers might not know what Earth's Mightiest Heroes will have to face in next summer's The Avengers: Age of Ultron, so these fresh comments from Whedon will be insightful… and more than a little tantalizing.
Whedon was speaking with Empire Magazine as part of the mag's summer movie preview, and while The Avengers: Age of Ultron doesn't open this year, it casts a long enough shadow over the season that we're already anticipating what the Marvel crew will be able to bring to theaters next May. When asked to discuss Ultron's personality in this next movie, and what they are trying to accomplish with the evil villain, Joss Whedon explained:
Last time, I had all of Earth's Mightiest Heroes versus one British character actor, and I needed more conflict. I'm having a blast with Ultron. He's not a creature of logic -- he's a robot who's genuinely disturbed. We're finding out what makes him menacing and at the same time endearing and funny and strange and unexpected, and everything a robot never is."
Having James Spader as the voice of said robot likely allows Whedon the chance to explore different disturbing emotions in a sentient being. The challenge facing the Avengers franchise time after time is that Marvel – or Joss Whedon, if he keeps directing the installments in this franchise – has to keep coming up with a threat that's large enough to justify reuniting the full complement of Avengers, from Thor and Iron Man to Captain America and newcomers Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch. For example, The Winter Soldier wasn't a big enough threat, apparently, for Tony Stark to swoop down to Washington, D.C. and help dismantle Hydra (which was masquerading as S.H.I.E.L.D.) But Ultron will be a big enough problem that the whole team will have to unite… in a more exotic location.
On that note, Whedon talked to Empire about filming The Avengers: Age of Ultron in various European and African locations, trying to introduce a new backdrop to the action. And I loved his comment about moving the familiar characters to new areas for the benefit of his film:
This, palette-wise, is very different. I'm trying to make a different film. Because why would you make one movie twice? That seems weird."
That DOES seem weird! And yet, someone as business savvy as Joss Whedon no doubt understands that far too many directors who've experienced success (cough, Michael Bay, cough) happily go back to the well and make the same movie twice. Or four times.

Jerry Berg decided that the best way to deal with a layoff was to make a 20 minute video ( http://bit.ly/1oouacX ) lamenting how terrible it is to be laid off after 15 years at Microsoft. I personally feel for him as I've been laid off twice since the 2008 financial crisis. While his emotions are understandable, putting them out there in a public video was a bad choice.
This is what I think he should have done.
I wish all the former Microsoft people the best. You will find new employment and move on.
Views: 969
It's tough to be laid off, absolutely. But to your point 5 – it's so true you are not ready for the next gig if you are still harping on and on about your former employer. As a past hiring manager that in itself has been reason for not getting a job on my team. Once you are ready to talk future, then you are ready to go back to work.
When someone loses their job, I encourage them to NOT reach out to ANYONE yet. Take the time to grieve, get your 'story' together and reach out strategically. The worst thing you can do is call your best and most immediate contacts and go on and on about how you were let go.
Well-said, all. It is for such reasons I advocate employees to "unlease their 'Inner CEOs'":
Grab all the money, benies, power, swag, training, contacts, etc. you can while you're there,
and then get the hell outta Redmond before it all comes crashing down-either on you, on them, or both.
No Cheers,
I too have been laid off and it does suck, especially when the economy is in sucky shape.
It's a sad situation for Jerry and the rest of those affected, but you're right, Bert, there are far more productive activities he could be doing right now. Publicly complaining about an employer of 15 years seems a bit extreme. Venting is fine and understandable, but perhaps keep it offline.
@Linda...I wholeheartedly agree. When I was an outplacement consultant, I had a guy in some of my seminars who was soo negative, they had to pull him from the "regular" program and refer him for special counseling. He was holding on so hard he couldn't even begin to move forward with an effective job search.
Good blog, I just checked out his video. Really interesting how social media has become a sort of therapeutic center of sorts. I hope it all works out for him.
Linda - I love your advice about going into hibernation, and putting some time and space between the event and the public unveiling to get your story together.
I do recall a phone screening once with a recently laid off worker who was still clearly reeling from the sudden loss. It was hard to get the information I needed from her during that call, and I was saddened to think that all of her initial phone screenings would end up being vent sessions.
