Lesson 12 (Emotional & Cognitive Socialization Outcomes (11-11…
Lesson 12
Emotional & Cognitive Socialization Outcomes
11-6 Achievement Motivation (Mastery Orientation)
One's expectation of success is related to:
one's history of success or failure
one's perception of how dififcult the task is
the attributions for one's performance.
studies have found that children with high iQs and high expectations of success in school did, in fact, get the highest grades, whereas children with high iQs and low expectations received lower grades than children with low iQs and high expectation
David McClelland and his colleagues (1953) developed a projection technique using selected picture cards from the Thematic apperception test. t). The technique assumes that when asked to write stories about the pictures, people will project their feelings about themselves onto the characters in the pictures shown to them
11-7 Locus of Control
Julian Rotter (1966, 1971): The internal-external scale is constructed so that each item can be scored as internal or external
internal locus of control was significantly related to age, gender, SES, achievement
7- and 8-year-olds think that ability can change with effort, whereas 11- and 12-year-olds perceive ability as relatively stable
Whereas 7- and 8-year olds tend to consider all possible factors—luck, effort, ability, task difficulty—in explaining performance, 11- and 12-year-olds tend to put more emphasis on external factors, such as luck and task difficulty, than on internal factors, such as ability and effort, in attributing locus of control
The more successful a person is at accomplishing tasks, the more likely it is that the person will feel "in control"; feeling "out of control" is more likely when failures outnumber successes. achievement is related to whether people believe they control the outcome
locus of control relates to one's attribution of performance, or sense of personal responsibility for success or failure
internal locus of control perception that one is responsible for one's own fate
external locus of control perception that others or outside forces are responsible for one's fate
11-5 Motives and Attribution
mastery motivation: The inborn motive to explore, understand, and control one's environment
Ryan and Deci (2000)
intrinsic (doing an activity for inherent satisfaction or enjoyment) : Within-person changes result from cognitive or emotional maturation, such as becoming more curious as one is able to learn more and becoming more competent as one is able to master more.
extrinsic (doing an activity to attain some separable outcome, to get a reward or avoid punishment): Socially mediated changes result from contexts children experience as they grow, such as family, school, or peer group, and the accompanying feelings of autonomy or control
home and classroom environments can "facilitate or forestall" intrinsic motivation by "supporting or thwarting" a child's psychological needs for competence and autonomy
Robert White (1959): People are motivated to act by the urge to be competent or to achieve
locus of control: one's attribution of performance, or perception of responsibility for success or failure; may be internal or external
internal if one attributes responsibility inside the self
external: if one attributes responsibility to forces outside the self
attribution: is an explanation for one's performance
learned helplessness: a phenomenon exhibited by people who no longer perform effectively in a number of situations; they have learned to be helpless as opposed to competent
motive: is a need or emotion that causes a person to act
11-8 Learned-Helpless Orientation
girls are more likely than boys to demonstrate learned helplessness that comes from attributing lack of ability to themselves. boys more often tend to believe that when they do not do well, it is because they have not worked hard enough
Jose and Bellamy (2012) set out to investigate the prevalence and manifestation of learned helplessness in asian cultures (Chinese and Japanese) as compared to Western cultures (american and new Zealand).
study involved 7- and 8-year-old children and their parents in asian and Western cultures.
children are enabled to believe their failure was due to lack of effort, they tend to try harder on subsequent tasks and often show improved performance.
Shimahara (1986) asserts that there is a Japanese cultural tendency to focus on the process rather than the outcome, resulting in an increased focus by teachers to enhance learning, motivation, and work habits.
Dweck and colleagues found that when children believe their failures are due to uncontrollable factors in themselves, such as lack of ability ("i failed the math test because i'm dumb in math"), their subsequent task performance deteriorates after failure
Dweck (1999) has noted that within american samples, some adults and children attribute academic success at least partly to innate ability (i.e., genetics), so it is possible that the role that effort plays in achieving these successes may not be as strong for this culture as for asian cultures.
Martin Seligman presented evidence in his books Helplessness (1975), Learned Optimism (1990), and Flourish (2012) that people become passive and lose motivation when placed in situations where outcomes are unaffected by their behavior
learned-helpless orientation: the perception, acquired through negative experiences, that effort has no affect on outcomes
11-4 Changing Attitudes about Diversity
apparently, prejudicial attitudes can be changed by enabling children to have positive experiences (both real and vicarious) with cultural minorities. When an adult mediates the experience by pointing out individual differences, it is especially effective. Thus, children learn to view people as individuals rather than as representatives of a certain group with certain fixed characteristics.
Individuals with Disabilities education act of 1990 (amended in 2004) was to include children with disabilities in public school
techniques used to counter the culturally biased attitudes of second and fifth graders
Increased positive intercultural contact. Children worked in interethnic teams at an interesting puzzle and were all praised for their work.
Vicarious intercultural contact. Children heard an interesting story about a sympathetic and resourceful african american child.
Perceptual differentiation. Children were shown slides of a culturally diverse woman whose appearance varied depending on whether or not she was wearing glasses, which of two different hairdos she was wearing, and whether she was smiling or frowning. each different-appearing face had a name, and the children were tested to see how well they remembered the names.
Aboud and her colleagues (2012) conducted a systematic review of studies to evaluate the effects of various interventions (such as contact, media, and instruction) aimed at reducing ethnic prejudice and discrimination in young children
67% of the attitude effects were positive
11-9 Self-Efficacy
self-eficacy differs from the aforementioned concepts in that it not only can explain present performance but also can predict future performance
personal agency: the realization that one's actions cause outcomes
Albert Bandura, known for his social cognitive theory (involving learning via observation and modeling), has elaborated on these concepts (achievement motivation, locus of control, and learned helplessness) to formulate a performance-based valid predictor of students' learning—namely, their perceived capability on specific tasks
self-efficacy beliefs motivate learning because they enable students to use such self-regulatory processes as goal setting, self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and strategy use
self-efficacy: the belief that one can master a situation and produce positive outcomes
empowerment (enabling individuals to have control over resources affecting them
physiological reactions, such as fatigue, stress, or anxiety, may distort an individuals' perceptions of their capabilities at a particular time or while engaged in a certain activity
11-3 Development of Attitudes
gender: identity refers to a person's internal sense of being male, female, or something else
early ethnocentrism based on physical attributes occurs in Piaget's preoperational stage (ages 4–7), wherein children tend toward one-dimensional thinking; decreased ethnocentrism based on behavioral and physical attributes corresponds to Piaget's concrete operational stage, wherein children can think about more than one dimension at a time
transgender: an umbrella term for individuals whose gender identity or gender expression and behavior does not conform to that typically associated with the sex to which they were assigned at birth
Parents have a large impact on children's attitudes and values
those with the most prejudicial attitudes have parents who are authoritarian, use strict disciplinary techniques, and are inflexible in their attitudes toward right and wrong (aboud, 1988; aboud & amato, 2001). Thus, rigid parental attitudes foster similar attitudes in their children.
initial attitudes reflect society's biases
Ramsey (2004): children assimilate culturally related attitudes, preferences, and social expectations at an early age. They understand the world in terms of absolutes and believe overgeneralizations
as children develop cognitively, they begin to categorize (assimilate and accommodate) similarities and differences
developmental sequence of how children become prejudiced:
awareness—being alert to, seeing, noticing, and understanding differences among people even though they may never have been described or talked about. Children model behavior they observe in adults they look up to.
identification—naming, labeling, and classifying people based on physical characteristics that children notice. Verbal identification relieves the stress that comes from being aware of or confused by something that you can't describe or no one else is talking about. Identification is the child's attempt to break the adult silence and make sense of the world. Children mimic what they see, hear, and read about.
attitude—having thoughts and feelings that become an inclination or opinion toward another person and their way of living in the world. Children may displace their feelings onto others who are less powerful.
Preference—valuing, favoring, and giving priority to one physical attribute, person, or lifestyle over another, usually based on similarities and differences. Children understand the world from the perspective of their own experience.
Prejudice—holding a preconceived hostile attitude, opinion, feeling, or action against a person, ethnic group, or their lifestyle without knowing them. Children generalize their personal experiences to the world.
attitudes about diverse cultural groups develop in the following sequence:
Phase I—awareness of cultural differences, beginning at about age 2½ to 3
Phase II—orientation toward specific culturally related words and concepts, beginning at about age 4
Phase III—attitudes toward various cultural groups, beginning at about age 7
Aboud (1988) and colleagues (aboud & amato, 2001) reported that 4- to 7-year-old european american children were already aware that "White" was the cultural identity favored by their society. They referred to other groups as "bad" or with negative characteristics.
Classroom organization can be very effective in influencing attitudes toward others.
11-10 Self-Esteem
multidimensional, consisting of (1) scholastic competence, (2) athletic competence, (3) social competence, (4) physical appearance, and (5) behavioral conduct
is related to self-efficacy in that one's identity, or self-concept, incorporates many forms of self-knowledge and self-evaluative feeling
self-esteem the value one places on one's identity
Erikson's (1963) psychosocial stages
11-2 Attitudes
attitudes determine what we attend to in our environment, how we perceive the information about the object of our attention, and how we respond to that object
attitudes guide behavior
tendency to respond positively (favorably) or negatively (unfavorably) to certain persons, objects, or situations
prejudice: an attitude involving prejudgment; the application of a previously formed judgment to some person, object, or situation
Values are really the basis for attitudes
stereotype: oversimplified, fixed attitude or set of beliefs that is held about members of a group
11-11 Development of Self-Esteem
Harter: found that perceived physical appearance is consistently the domain most highly correlated with self-esteem from early childhood through adulthood, with no gender differences.
endomorphy (short, heavy build)
Bankston and Zhou (2002): found that children of asian immigrants do have the lowest self-reported level of self-esteem, yet have the highest grade-point averages. On the other hand, nonimmigrant african american children report the highest level of self-esteem, yet show low grade-point averages
mesomorphy (medium, muscular build)
parents who reflect the culture in their child-rearing practices are likely to have children with high self-esteem because the children have been socialized to "fit in."
ectomorphy (tall, lean build)
Chao: found that Chinese children, whose cultural heritage is hierarchal and collectivistic, benefited the most from an authoritarian parenting style (low responsiveness and high demandingness)
Derenne and Beresin (2006), who traced the portrayal of body images in the media throughout history, "the ideal of beauty has been difficult to achieve and has been shaped by social context … Current mass media is ubiquitous and powerful, leading to increased body dissatisfaction among both men and women
Baumrind: r relationship between an authoritative parenting style (high acceptance and high demandingness ) and competent european American children
Naomi Wolf, author of The Beauty Myth (2002), children's heroes and heroines in the media serve as models for the ideal type, and the self-serving interests of advertisers make the ideal unattainable, thereby promoting low self-esteem in order to motivate purchase of their products
Parents of boys with high self-esteem were:
warm - strict - democratic
Tazghini and siedlecki (2013) found that the level of self-esteem in college students was related to their engagement in different online behavior
parental approval is particularly critical in determining the self-esteem of children
Correa, Hinsley, and de Zuniga (2010), the literature suggests personality factors such as extroversion, emotional stability, and openness to experience are related to uses of social applications on the internet
Susan Harter: Self-Perception Profile for Children
self-esteem is well established by middle childhood.
Gonzales and Hancock (2011) , found that viewing one's own Facebook profile fostered self-awareness and, in so doing, enhanced one's self-esteem
Rosenberg (1975) found that the Jewish children raised in Jewish neighborhoods were likely to have higher self-esteem than Jewish children raised in Catholic neighborhoods.
Coopersmith (1967)
Significance—the way one perceives she is loved and cared about by significant others
Competence—the way one performs tasks one considers important.
Virtue—how well one attains moral and ethical standards.
Power—the extent to which one has control or influence over one's life and that of others
11-1 Values
values clarification: the process of discovering what is personally worthwhile or desirable in life
a conceptual discussion might discuss emigration and freedom of religion
a values discussion might address questions like these: What is so important to you that if it were taken away, you would leave your country? if you left, what would you take with you?
factual discussion might explore dates and event
Values clarification involves making decisions—choosing among alternatives.
qualities or beliefs that are viewed as desirable or important
10 commandments
Mystery of Happiness
happiness might be possible on earth
altering story endings for happy endings
America has time to think of happiness
purchase of happiness
how to measure happiness
happiness is 1/2 biology
control is an aspect that makes us feel good
relationships make us happy- support system (tiger)
spending more but enjoying less
more shopping malls than high schools
possession overload
Feel Good About Failure
feel good about self but not learning
warm fuzzies- compliments

Minister for Defence Science and Personnel
19 May 2011
Minister for Defence Science and Personnel, Warren Snowdon said Defence has begun a three-year hazard reduction project to remove old unexploded bombs on three islands west of Darwin.
The unexploded ordnance hazard reduction project will be conducted at the Quail Island Air Weapons Range, which includes Quail Island, Bare Sand Island and Djadjalbit Island.
Mr Snowdon said the announcement comes in time for World Turtle Day on May 23rd.
"Bare Sand Island in particular, has been used for tourists and researchers to observe the turtles nesting. We're delighted to be able to announce this hazard reduction program in the lead up to World Turtle Day."
"We recognise that this is a valuable ecological area for turtle breeding, for Indigenous interests, tourism and recreational purposes. The hazard reduction program is designed to make the area as safe as possible for these activities," said Mr Snowdon.
Defence has consulted with turtle experts at Charles Darwin University in relation to measures to ensure that there is no negative impact on the nesting turtles.
Defence has rated the risk of unexploded bombs in the area as substantial. The Quail Island Air Weapons Range was used for aerial bombing practice by the Royal Australian Air Force from 1945 to 1979. A number of bombs did not explode and remain buried under the sand.
Defence has maintained warning signs on Quail Island for many years and conducted bi-annual inspections to remove any bombs that may have been uncovered by tidal or wind action. As the area is no longer required as a Defence Practice Area, Defence is now considering de-gazetting the range. The hazard reduction program is an important step in this process.
"The public must realise there are still unexploded bombs that have not yet been found that are a potential danger to visitors to the island. If people don't have a good reason to visit the area, they are being urged to stay away," Mr Snowdon said
During the hazard reduction program, access to the area will be subject to strict conditions and negotiated on a case by case basis.
To find out more about entry restrictions, and to coordinate access, please contact: Major Geoff Robinson (02) 6266 8534 or 0419 659 426

"The city of Aspen confiscated the public right of way for the benefit of one developer…and acted to the…unfair detriment of adjacent landowners and the public," the complaint reads.
ASPEN REAL ESTATE – Local landowners upset about City Hall's removal of two on-street parking spaces outside their home will have their day in court Monday.Part-time residents Harvey and Diane Birdman of Aspen and Aventura, Fla. sued the city of Aspen in 2009 when parallel parking spaces outside their residence at 918 S. Mill St. were removed — in 2007 — in conjunction with the "Top of Mill" residential project. That development contains 13 free market condos and four affordable housing units at the foot of Aspen Mountain. The suit demands that the city return the parking spaces. Aspen City Council had no interest in settling the case, City of Aspen special counsel Jim True said, so there will be a hearing before Judge James Boyd on Monday morning at the Pitkin County Courthouse.

Review: Dylan Walsh
Anderson, the Finglas boy who gave up his career working on building sites for music. Thank God for that, as this album titled 'Patterns' has such beautiful emotion and storytelling – assets that can only be described as beautiful poetry.
Pattern's opens with 'The Twilight is Folding', a short and sweet intro giving the listener a taste of what is to come, with the picking off the acoustic guitar to the strings, it creates a dreamlike aura. 'Patterns' swiftly follows with simple strums and minimalistic piano playing that creates much needed space for the contrasting vocals. The storytelling vocals act as the main body and rhythm of the song, letting the stings and acoustic vibes to add layers to this beautiful piece. The dynamics in this song are completely on the money, not once did I lose interest with the quirky layers of shakers and simple sparse beats added throughout making this a beautiful well thought-out song.
'Things We Have In Common' comes next, sticking with the same storytelling, folk and happy vibes Anderson brings the listener to his level saying "We all have a story to tell, yes we have this in common". Simple, but oh so effective! The vocal approach is almost spoken, but with such great dynamics, making it that much more compelling. I could almost hear this in a musical! 'Vincent' woke my ears up with a different approach to the groove of the song. The underlying bass just gives it what it needs at this stage of the album. I admire Anderson's arrangement on this album a lot, especially in this song. The electric guitar riff is bare, but yet so effective, giving the vocals centre stage to express the emotion needed, the palm muting yet again brings this songs body up without taking over the whole track and of course the build to the chorus' is evidentially genius. Dynamics and arrangement are so important in a song to keep the album alive, Anderson has mastered it!
'History' opens with a dark and gloomy aura from the piano unlike the previous tracks. Once the vocals come in my body fills with such immense emotion. From the effortless vibrato to the instruments hanging back and complimenting the lyrics so perfectly, this one tugged on my heartstrings. "I feel history, the ashes of yesterday" is just an example of the poetic feel to this beautiful song about heartbreak. Sparse piano continues into 'The Melody' where Anderson yet again speaks about a loved one. What I adore about Anderson's writing style is how relatable, yet so personal each and every song is. "I can't make sense of all this space, and time. It's swallowing my body and my mind." Rings out in the chorus, in such a beautiful-heartfelt way. This number is my favourite of the album. Why? It's simple, minimalistic, and everything is so true, raw, and real.
A rhythmic twist comes next from 'The Existential Vacuum' with simple beats from all instruments. I especially loved the offbeat of the piano, giving the song colour and flare. The song is full of hooks from every instrument, but yet I'm left craving a catchy chorus. I believe if the chorus melody was half as catchy as the other instruments this song would be the best candidate for a single on the album. The arrangement is beautiful – don't get me wrong, I just feel as if the vocals are getting lost in the mix. Up strokes from the acoustic guitar opens 'Cecilia's Sister' in a steady moving pace, with the cajon coming in to keep everything flowing. I really enjoyed how the piano and vocal mimicked one another in the chorus, but yet I was wanting them to be more in sync, because when it was, it was a lot more effective.
'Through the Night' opens with yet more sparse piano to my joy. Yet again, the build to the pre-chorus is perfect, leading up to the amazing chorus filled with just the right arrangement of atmospheric guitar, drums with reverb, and vocals you could die for! The sousaphone added a beautiful layer and gave this song even more depth. A part of me would have loved to hear it feature a little earlier into the song, but then again I adore how much air your song has to breathe. 'A Sad Lullaby' is filled with the air of the previous number, with sustained notes on the piano which makes me crumble! It almost gives the listener a moment of silence to respect how beautiful quietness is. The harmonies added into the chorus were beautiful and can't be faulted, and really added warmth to the piece. I do believe the bass could be lowered in the mix, as I personally would rather let the strings take centre stage as they were stunning. My sweet spot was hit nearing the outro when the violin flowed in time and harmony with the vocals, giving me shivers! LOVE IT. At this point of an album this long I tend to become tiresome and restless, but not with this album. 'About A life' is flowed through next with the most poetic lyrics. "When the ghosts of your beginnings was strangling your brain, cutting you to ribbons or driving you insane" sets the song into a stunning piece filled with strings, creating a lullaby sense. The acoustic guitar simple picking pattern is so beautiful laid low in the mix and fills the body and warmth of the song.
The album ends with "The mornings never new" with a darker electric guitar with not so much jingle to it. The bursts of colour spreading from the violins as the stunning lyrics rings out "the mornings never new." I enjoyed this 12 track album from start to finish, and can't recommend it anymore.

New York – Accessories Magazine's daily dispatch of the latest looks coming down the S/S 2017 runway, all filtered through the accessories lens. To see all the daily Breaking Trends, click here.
Tory Burch's Spring/Summer 2017 collection had a fun and preppy approach to her women's wear line. Playing with colors, prints and textures, Burch produced a relaxed collection with bold floral printed skirts, graphic pattern shift dresses and easy separates such as blouses and cardigans. Accessories include oversized pearl necklaces and earrings, creating a 1950's ladylike retro vibe, as well as crisp white sneaker and two-toned moccasins adding to the carefree summer looks.
Delpozo, a brand known for its stand-out items and couture-like detailing and construction, proved his spring/summer 2017 collection was just as exquisite as the last. The apparel was full of volume and unique proportions as well as architectural-like structures; materials were lavish and lux with metallic floral jacquards and organza. Going along with the play on proportion, it's no surprise the earrings were a hit, the gigantic chandelier earrings made of sequins adorned the earlobes allowing the light and transparency to shine through.
Anna Sui's Spring 2017 collection was a unique blend and mash-up of American culture, from western cowboys to high school varsity wear and red, white and blue combinations. The result was a fun presentation that consisted of lots of prints and patterns mixed together and standout statement accessories, such as cowboy hats and boots, glittery ankle socks, 3-D floral pins and printed neckerchiefs.

#9395 closed defect (not a bug)
Using the TBB port 9150 exclusively breaks Torbirdy with a regular Tor install.
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Actual Points:
|Parent ID:
Since version 0.1.1 Torbirdy uses port 9150, as used by the TBB. Port 9050
is still used by most other Tor installations, e.g. the Debian package provided by the Tor project. Using different ports allows to run a TBB next to a regular Tor install.
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/torbirdy#SetupSteps mentions that one should
make sure Tor is running with default client settings (SocksPort is
listening on 127.0.0.1:9150)
but ideally Torbirdy should also check the default default port 9050.
This will probably also be usefull, when #3948 is implemented and some newer TBBs use 9050 again.

thanks for your input.
My initial documentation [1] was meant to be used for a "system tor" setup. "system tor" is a tor instance that automatically starts as soon as the system boots (or the user logs in).
Apparently Sukhbir changed it [2] to use port 9150 (default SocksPort setting in current TBB).
So the question is: Do we want Windows users to use a Vidalia Bundle* (= system tor) or TBB to get a running Tor instance?
I'm in favor of a system tor (via vidalia bundle) because the vidalia interface of Vidalia Bundles has the setting 'Start Vidalia when my system starts' - a setting which is not available in TBB's vidalia.
The Vidalia Bridge Bundle does start a SOCKS listener on *9050*.
*) we ask Win/OSX users to download the 'vidalia bundle', but the 'vidalia bundle' seems no longer available, now there are the following bundles available: 'Vidalia Bridge Bundle', 'Vidalia Relay Bundle' and 'Vidalia Exit Bundle' but no 'Vidalia Bundle' (client only) as there was ones.

But this is not just a Windows problem. If somebody installs Tor on Linux using his distributions own packages (or the Tor projects deb/rpm repository) he will get a Tor configured to listen on 9050.
If the user doesn't fix his torrc manually, Torbirdy will fail to connect to the network.
I guess this is not too much of a problem, because most people use TBB as the version of Tor recommended on https://www.torproject.org/download/, but it will be for some.

Regardless of OS, I'm aiming to have the documentation (and Torbirdy) point to SocksPort *9050* in the near future (if you are interested you might follow #8909 / #8910).
Currently, our documentation clearly states that Torbirdy expects a SocksPort on port 9150.
Our documentation does *not* say 'TorBirdy supports tor on SocksPort 9050', but because we should aim towards working with default configs we will do so - hopefully - in the near future.

Millwall boss drops selection hint for Barnsley tie
NEIL Harris has hinted he could pick a strong side to face Barnsley in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday – to give players the chance to make up for the 2-1 defeat to Norwich on New Year's Day.
The loss leaves the Lions just six points above the relegation zone, and Harris admitted the league is the priority this season.
Harris was unhappy with the nature of the concession of the Canaries' first goal on Monday when Millwall, usually so strong when defending set-pieces, allowed Tom Trybull head an equaliser before James Maddison's winner.
Millwall's fixture schedule is less hectic in January than it was in December, and they will hope to avoid a replay with against Paul Heckingbottom's side.
Harris indicated after the defeat at Carrow Road he was unhappy with the impact of a number of players. They could get the opportunity to make amends this weekend.
The Lions won all five of their FA Cup games at The Den last season.
"The FA Cup run we had last year was outstanding, it really boosted us financially as a club and on the pitch as well, beating three Premier League sides," Harris said.
"It's not the most glamourous tie, Barnsley at home, for me or Paul. We'd both much rather focus on the league. However, it's an opportunity for people to perform better than they did [Monday].
"We'll reflect on that game. You give people an opportunity and you expect them to stake a claim for the next game. Some players didn't do that. Certainly the subs that came on were non-existent.
"It wasn't just the pass and finish for the second goal, it was the fact we didn't get near the ball. We didn't press the first pass, we didn't press the second pass. And then it's a good run and finish.
"At the very least, we should be saying Norwich got a point out of it after a well-worked goal. Instead, we're talking about the first goal, which was a sloppy defensive set-up by us."

The Bustle Team Takes On Halloween & Slays The Holiday Like None Other — PHOTOS
True story — there really ain't no party like a Bustle Halloween party. If you don't believe me/need proof, well then, it's your lucky day: On Friday, aka All Hallows' Eve Eve, the ladies and gents of Bustle brought their costume A-game to Bustle's New York offices — and, not surprisingly, they all slayed. A lot. With costumes ranging from Bob's Burger's Tina Belcher to Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattés to Justin Timberlake with Ramen noodle hair (seriously, this was a thing in the '90s) there were clearly no tricks and/or treats left unturned in the office. After all, when Bustle does Halloween, Bustle does Halloween.
Still don't believe me? Just take a look at all the badass costumes the Bustle team donned to the office this year (and try not to be too jealous you didn't think to dress up as Sriracha. There's always next year, right?). Never one to miss out on an opportunity to channel our inner David Bowies, to don a skeleton suit, or even hey! — put some uncooked ramen noodles on our head in the name of Halloween, the Bustle staff clearly is all about this spooky life. (And all about this holiday, obviously.)
Happy Halloween from the Bustle team! I hope it's a scary good one.

Should I stay or should I go? 32: retiring, and phasing out of work as a work-life transition 4
This is my 32nd installment to a series on intentionally entered into, fundamental job and career path change, and on best practices for deciding both when and how to carry through on it (see Guide to Effective Job Search and Career Development – 3, postings 416 and following for Parts 1-31.) And this is also my fourth posting to this series where I at least begin addressing the issues of retirement, and phasing into it.
• Why retire?
• Do you want to retire, and now or at least soon and as a preferred option?
• Do you feel yourself as having been thrust into a situation where at least significantly tapering down on what you do professionally might be your best option, or even your only one? And if so, why and how?
• Or do you see retirement and even full and sudden retirement as a fundamentally life shaping decision that has somehow been thrust upon you? And if so, why and how?
• I am not asking here, about how or why you would plan for retirement. That is something that prudent people at least begin laying the groundwork for well before they approach retirement age or circumstance or need, baring the unexpected that can suddenly thrust these issues on anyone. Approaching the set of issues and questions raised here from a short-term or even here-and-now timeframe perspective if that applies to you, why retire?
I began Part 29: my first installment here in this series or posting of any kind to this blog to directly consider retirement, with a to-address checklist of points that I would delve into. To-address lists per se, have become a relatively common feature of my posting series here, and from well before I began identifying them by that name. I began my Part 29 list with what might be the most basic retirement as career step question, which I finally begin to more fully consider here, after in-effect rushing past it to consider resources and means and feasibility issues.
I begin this posting and its discussion by citing a series that I added to this blog a number of years ago now, in mid-2011: Creating a Meaningful Work and Life Balance (see Guide to Effective Job Search and Career Development, postings 150-157.) I wrote that at a time in my life when I was still working full time as a consultant, so I wrote it accordingly. But even then, I already found myself thinking of possible tipping points, where a work and life balance would best mean moving on, out of the work force, and in stages or completely. Why retire? This is a posting about tipping points and possible tipping points. And the one detail that I assume here is that you have sufficient resources available to be able to take at least some form of step in that direction – even if that means working at least part time for significantly longer than you might wish to, from lack of finances or from similarly compelling need.
• Let me begin exploring this maze of issues with a simple seeming question: Do you see retirement as a moving away from and an ending, or as a moving to or into and as a new beginning?
Put bluntly, and by way of explicit, if not extreme example:
• Do you want to retire because you hate your job, and the people who you have come to work with, and what you have been doing, and seemingly forever now?
• Or do you want to retire because you have come to acutely feel a gap in your life for what you would most want to do that would hold deepest meaning for you, that you could never be able to find the time for while still employed and working? Are these life goals that you will never be able to get to if you wait too long and until you are too old or infirm?
Most of us seem to approach retirement and its possibilities somewhere between those two perhaps cartoonish away-from and towards extremes, and with mixed feelings about work and continuing on, and retirement and letting go of that. But I have met at least a few who have found themselves in one or the other of the two extremes I just briefly noted here too.
If there is a take away reader exercise that I would offer here, it is that you really need to think through and write down your pros and cons for simply continuing to work, and for tapering off on what you do professionally, and for retiring outright. Write, and set your list of factors and goals and considerations aside and come back to write and edit and refine what you have been assembling. And continue doing this until you feel a sense of having captured at least the gist of what would motivate you here in making a best decision. And when you reach that point, divide all of your list entries up as to which career step option of the basic three, they would each support. You have probably already started doing this, but re-do it and complete this as you think through the entire list and how its entries relate to each other.
Some of your entries here might apply to just one of the three basic next-step options, some might work for two of them and it is possible that one or two might apply to all three and simply represent goals and needs that you could have been addressing all along, but that you have never quite brought onto focus until now. Think, list, rethink through in terms of appropriate context in your life, and prioritize all of what you have arrived at as to their value and meaning and significance to you.
• Keep your final list and the notes that you append to it as you organize your thinking as to what all of this means to you.
• And revisit this exercise, starting again from scratch as if you were doing this for a first time.
• Then compare what you have arrived at and with an eye to how your goals and priorities have changed. What can you see and learn from that, as to what you might wish to do moving forward? This is as much a lead-up to retirement exercise and certainly in your last years of regular full time work, as your probably much longer financial planning for eventual retirement would be. And like financial planning and preparation, it can be very valuable too.
• Actuarial findings have repeatedly shown that people who retire into inertia – people who retire without goals or purpose and into simply existing without any organizing activity to sustain them, have much lower future life expectancies than do those who retire into a more active and purposeful next stage of life.
I am going to end this posting by raising an issue that can in fact represent the unacknowledged 800 pound gorilla in the room for any of us, and for most any stage in our lives – and definitely when we approach possible retirement. I am going to end this posting by discussing the baggage that we bring with us in one form or other: the things we do and the things we own and take ownership of and assume and simply because we do so – on the basis of ongoing momentum. This includes material possessions that might lose their relevance in our lives as we go through life changes, but more importantly here, this includes assumptions as to who we are and what our values and priorities should be.
Retirement is a life stage change and not just a career stage change and that is when taking stock of needs and goals and priorities – and of the baggage we are carrying with us becomes crucial. This is particularly important because what has been neutral or insignificant, or even useful and positive leading up to such a change can become detrimental and even fundamentally limiting as we go through that change and into a next life stage.
I will have more to add to this new area of discussion, but note it here for its relevance to the wants and needs questions I have been primarily addressing in this posting. I add it as a need to understand and list and think through enablers and impediments to what you might do, and with a goal of prompting you to think about what might become one or the other of them, of what you carry and simply take for granted. And to rephrase this in terms of the immediately preceding installments to this series, a key resource that you can bring to the table is that of knowing when and what to let go of as you move on and what to pick up and move on with – a skills element of a resource that goes by the name of wisdom.
I briefly noted retirement as a change that can be thrust upon us, rather than desired and more strategically planned out, at the top of this posting. I will more fully discuss that range of possibilities in a next series installment, where I will address the scourge of ageism and age discrimination, and the challenge of sudden deterioration of health. Then after completing that and my discussion for this series, of why retire, I will reconsider retirement and the path towards it from a family perspective, where for many of us this means couples at the very least.
Meanwhile, you can find this and related postings at my Guide to Effective Job Search and Career Development – 3 and at the first directory page and second, continuation page to this Guide.

UltraShape Power is an innovative new device which has been FDA-approved for use in the reduction of fat around the abdomen. UltraShape Power has been clinically proven, with a patient satisfaction rate of 86 to 94%. It is a painless, comfortable procedure, and through the use of cutting-edge technology ensures even fat reduction with no irregularities. There is no downtime involved, making it a perfect choice for patients with busy schedules.
UltraShape Power is designed to reduce the circumference of the waist, thighs, or love handles, eliminating those stubborn fat accumulations that can be so hard to get rid of with only diet and exercise. It is not designed as a primary weight-loss tool, but average to overweight men and women can use it to reduce unwanted fat deposits and create a more pleasing body contour without needing to undergo liposuction. UltraShape is not for use in helping eliminate obesity.
How Does UltraShape Work?
UltraShape Power uses an innovative pulsed, non-thermal ultrasound technology to selectively target and destroy fat cells. This pulsed ultrasound, unlike regular ultrasound technology, allows for controlled temperature regulation and instant destruction of subcutaneous fat cells. This focused ultrasound energy creates an even path of destruction, meaning that the results are smooth and regular, with no lumps or irregularities.
The focused ultrasound technology of UltraShape Power is proven safe and effective, with no adverse side effects. Even bruising and swelling can be avoided with an UltraShape Power procedure, and patients are able to walk out the door and back into their everyday activities after a treatment with no recovery time necessary. Results are long-lasting, and can be seen in as little as one to two weeks. For optimal results, multiple treatments are recommended.

Some economic reports to touch on.
The number of Americans filing for first time unemployment benefits rose by 2,000 last week to 336,000, which is still close to a 5-year low. Jobless claims, a rough gauge of layoffs, have fallen below 350,000 in five of the past six weeks, marking the first time that has happened since late 2007.
The National Association of Realtors reports existing home sales rose 0.8% in February to a seasonally adjusted rate of 4.98 million, which marks the highest level of sales since November 2009. While sales are still below bubble levels, we are seeing improvements; low rates are luring buyers and rising prices are luring both buyers and sellers back into the market. Inventories rose 9.6% in February, but still at relatively tight levels. Year over year, the national median sales price rose 11.6%. The trend is up.
The House has approved a short-term funding bill that will pay for the operations of the US government through this September, the end of the 2013 fiscal year. The Senate had approved the bill Wednesday, meaning it has cleared Congress and now goes to President Obama, who has promised to sign it when he gets back from the Middle East.
Meanwhile, the House has also passed a budget plan, the third drafted by Representative Paul Ryan. It would convert Medicare into a private voucher plan, eliminate any expansion of Medicaid, repeal Obamacare, and undo Wall Street regulations. It passed in the House, and it seems destined to the dustbin, just like previous Ryan budget plans. It is doubtful the Senate Republicans would even consider bringing it to a vote, so Senate Democrats are trying to fast-track the legislation. They actually want to see the Republicans in the Senate leave a recorded vote on slashing Medicare. Meanwhile, the Senate is actually working on its own budget proposal, written by Senator Patty Murray.
So, amidst the politicking, the Congressional Budget Office, the CBO, the official scorekeeper on the economy; they have issued a report of the sequester, the automatic $44 billion in spending cuts. CBO says that the sequester will slow down economic growth by about 0.6%, which amounts to about $97 billion. So for every dollar we reduce the deficit this year, we sacrifice about two dollars and twenty cents in GDP. The cuts will also result in the loss of 750,000 jobs.
Apparently, many years ago, the budget for math education was slashed and nobody noticed, and we are just now seeing the effects in Congress.
The Census Bureau has released a new study on household debt between 2000 and 2011. Overall, fewer households carried debt in 2011 (69%) than in 2000 (74%). Average household debt for people age 55 and over increased faster than for any other age group, while the 65-and-over group was the only category in which the percentage of people holding debt has increased since 2000. We're much less likely to hold credit-card debt than we used to be: The percentage of households carrying a balance fell from 51% in 2000 to 38% in 2011. "Other unsecured debts" increased from 11% to 19%; "Other unsecured debt" includes medical bills and student loans.
The student loan debt hits younger households and the medical bills debt hits older households. The median amount of "other debt" held by people over 65 has more than doubled since 2000, to $4,000 today. Overall, 44% of 65-plus household hold at least some debt, and the average household owes $26,000 – also more than double its 2000 level.
The biggest debt factor for most households, including those older ones, remains mortgages and home-equity debt, which accounts for about 78% of all household debt.
Let's check in on the Cyprus Bank Heist. Here's some background. The Cyprus economy is largely dependent on tourism and banking; it is a tax haven, especially for Russians. The banking system in Cyprus has assets about 8 times GDP, which is huge, but not as huge as Luxembourg. So, Cyprus banks took some of the money and speculated on real estate, including real estate in Greece. That didn't work out. So, now the Cypriot banks can't honor their debts. Remember that deposits are considered a form of debt for banks. So, they announced the theft of deposits to pay down debt. People got angry. Now it looks like they might just steal deposits from accounts over 100,000 euro.
But even then the situation is by no means under control. There's still a real estate bubble to implode. Half the economy, the banking industry, is still essentially wiped out and unlikely to attract new depositors even though the tax/levy/expropriation/theft of deposits is supposed to stabilize the banks. And then the bailout or bail-in will leave Cyprus with Greek-level sovereign debt.
Yesterday, there was talk of Russia swooping in with $4 billion-euro in a private deal with the banks and Gazprom, but now it looks like the Russians will sit it out.
For now, the banks remain on holiday, probably until Monday. The European Central Bank told Cyprus that emergency assistance to the two biggest Cypriot banks would be cut off if the government failed to agree on a plan to steal deposits, or I should say raise the billions required to qualify for a bailout; which as we discussed earlier is just a transfer of debt from the banks to the government. So, there is a deadline, which may or may not be a hard and fast deadline. And there is a chance that Cyprus will be kicked out of the European Monetary Union; which means they would have to bring back their own currency; which would likely be devalued; which would bring a huge increase in tourism.
And before long, we'll all forget about Cyprus, except as a footnote in the massive tomes of banks behaving badly.
And that brings us round to another old topic: synthetic collateralized debt obligations, or synthetic CDOs. You may recall that these are the gambling devices which nearly destroyed American International Group, AIG, the giant insurance company. And according to Bloomberg, there is a resurgence in the CDO market from hedge funds chasing yields. Just as a refresher, CDOs are side bets on side bets on pools of debt. You take some debt, say corporate bonds or credit card debt or mortgages, and you bundle it together; then you bet against the possibility of default with credit default swaps; then you bundle the credit default swaps and bet against those. Think of it this way; you take a bunch of apples, some good, some rotten, and you mash them all together; you pay off a credit rating agency and then you bet on whether the apple sauce is putrid.
AIG sold a lot of CDOs, and when the bets went bad, Hank Paulson forced AIG to pay off on some of the bets to his old firm, Goldman Sachs. But this may be the only known instance where someone was able to take applesauce and turn it back into apples. For the most part, CDOs are nothing more than gambling devices for hedge funds looking for yield; they have no real economic value.
What could go right?
Also, comes news that JPMorgan is dipping its toes back in the residential mortgage backed securities business, in its first non-agency deal since the crisis. This is where JPMorgan bundles residential mortgages into bonds. You may recall there was a problem with this sort of thing because some of the mortgages went bad and the people who bought the bonds cried foul and demanded refunds, or clawbacks. So why would JPMorgan get back into that business?
Well, these new bonds offer weaker promises; in other words, they write in the fine print that some of these mortgages might be rotten and if they are rotten, there is no provision to claw back a refund. Tough luck. It's right there in the fine print. I know what you're thinking; the credit rating agencies will surely give those bonds a very low rating because they will surely be crammed full of rotten mortgages.
Nope. They get a triple-A rating because they reveal in the fine print that there are probably going to be some rotten mortgages, so they aren't misrepresenting anything. And they include in the fine print that if they are rotten, there won't be any refunds.

You know there has been a movement to do away with payday lending; this is the modern form of loan sharks; and you've surely seen the stores that offer payday loans. You know…, the banks; like Wells Fargo. Even as public anxiety grows about the dangers of payday lending, with 15 states recently banning the practice, many big banks are offering the service to their customers.
According to a new study by the Center for Responsible Lending. "Despite federal banking regulators' recognition of the abuses of payday lending and aggressive action blocking previous bank partnerships with payday lenders, a few large banks have begun offering payday loans directly through checking accounts," the study says. Large banks offering the service include Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, Regions Bank and Fifth Third Bank.
The average annual percentage rate on a bank payday loan is 225 to 300 percent, the study says. Banks that offer payday loans extract payments automatically from the borrowers' checking accounts on the next pay cycle. In some cases, that withdrawal cleans out a borrower's checking account, leading to bounced checks. According to the study, users of paycheck advances are twice as likely to overdraw their bank accounts, leading to even more fees for the banks. And that's just the start of the potential problems.
The study says: "Research has shown that payday lending often leads to negative financial outcomes for borrowers. These include difficulty paying other bills, difficulty staying in their home or apartment, trouble obtaining health care, increased risk of credit card default, loss of checking accounts, and bankruptcy."
The elderly, already financially vulnerable and short on retirement savings, are making increasing use of these loans. According to the study, more than a quarter of bank payday loan borrowers are on Social Security.
Earlier, I told you that the age group 65-plus is taking on debt faster than other age groups, according to a Census Bureau report. The banks get this same research, and so they are now targeting seniors for payday loans. But for many seniors, their payday comes in the form of a social security check; so that's what the bankers are targeting.
These benefits are supposed to be protected from garnishment by creditors (other than the IRS for taxes or those holding child support claims) from garnishing social security benefits (SSA) or other public benefits. However, the banks were under no obligation to determine if the funds in a bank account that contained funds from more than one source were could be garnished.
There is supposed to be an account review to determine if a benefit agency deposited a benefit payment into an account, and then there is a lookback period. And theoretically the banks are supposed to look out for the account holders. There are now specific requirement the banks are supposed to follow. But what if they have set up a senior with a payday advance?
If a senior has some debt problems, their social security is supposedly protected. That's great. It makes financial institutions responsible for figuring out which funds are available for garnishment and which are not. And if the banks start digging in to accounts with SS funds, what's to stop them?
So, just a suggestion here. Social Security is doing away with mailing checks, and they are switching over to direct deposit. Benefits recipients should have a separate account (marked Social Security, for example) for their benefits, and that they never comingle the funds with other funds. Mess ups are less frequent and far easier to reverse and prove.
This is how to avoid problems with the loan sharks – you know, the ones that run the banks.

SEATTLE — There may be no patches of grass and red dirt in the world that Ichiro Suzuki knows better than right field and the home-plate area at Safeco Field, where he performed so brilliantly for 12 seasons as a Seattle Mariners right fielder and hitter.
But on Sunday, at the conclusion of his first return trip to this emerald park as a Yankee, Suzuki looked as if he were treading on treacherous and unfamiliar ground. He slipped, slid, skidded and fell, and he even dropped a pop-up in foul territory that he guessed was only his second such drop in the major leagues.
Embarrassing, he called it. He even slipped and fell when he tried to get up after a successful slide across home plate in the ninth inning, on a plot of real estate he had trod on thousands of times as a Mariner. As clumsy as it looked, though, that play provided the Yankees with the winning run in their 2-1 victory over the Mariners, the Yankees' sixth win in their last seven games.
"It was a tough day for me today," said Suzuki, who was a Mariners star from 2001 until he was traded to the Yankees last year. "For me to be able to contribute in that way, to be able to score the winning run, was big."
Suzuki was 0 for 3 going into his at-bat in the ninth with the score tied, 1-1, after starting pitchers David Phelps of the Yankees and Felix Hernandez of the Mariners kept the scoring to a minimum. Suzuki drew a leadoff walk against reliever Yoervis Medina, then went to second on a sacrifice bunt by Jayson Nix. Reid Brignac popped up for the second out, but Chris Stewart, in the midst of his best season, laced a ground-ball single through the hole on the left side of the infield.
The third-base coach, Rob Thomson, gave Suzuki the signal to go, and he chugged his 39-year-old body home and slid across the plate safe ahead of Raul Ibanez's throw up the first-base line.
In his exuberance after scoring, Suzuki slipped and stumbled on his backside before regaining his balance and jogging safely into the dugout to receive the congratulations of his teammates.
Mariano Rivera took care of the rest, allowing three base runners in the ninth but getting Michael Saunders to hit a shallow fly to left fielder Vernon Wells for the final out, stranding runners on first and second. The save was Rivera's 23rd in 24 opportunities.
Brett Gardner went 4 for 5 with a double and knocked in a run. Mark Teixeira went 0 for 5 with four strikeouts, but he made an agile play in the ninth after Kyle Seager extended his hitting streak to 13 games with a single to lead off the inning.
With the Yankees clinging to their one-run lead, Kendrys Morales hit a grounder to first. Teixeira scooped it up, stepped on first base and then fired a strike to Brignac, the shortstop, who applied the tag on Seager.
Ichiro was not so smooth. In the seventh inning, Ibanez hit a shallow foul pop-up. Suzuki ran a long way to get it, but as he settled under the ball, it hit his glove and somehow popped out. He desperately tried to catch the rebound, but the ball exceeded his reach, and he ended up sprawled on his belly as the crowd that once cheered his every play roared at the strange blooper.
Fans in Seattle saw Suzuki regularly rap out 200 hits a season and provide the most reliable outfield play. But as he approaches his 40th birthday in October, his batting average has dipped to .259, and his speed chasing down balls is not what it once was.
Suzuki could recall only one other such flub, on a ball hit by Casey Blake, formerly of the Cleveland Indians, and he could not recall whether Blake eventually scored. Ibanez ended his at-bat by striking out against Boone Logan, so the only problem for Suzuki was injured pride in front of his old fans.
"That doesn't happen very often," he said through his interpreter. "But as a professional, as someone who takes pride in what they do, it is embarrassing."
Yankees Manager Joe Girardi said: "I don't know if I've ever seen Ich drop a ball, and I don't know if I ever will again. It's like, oh my gosh, that just happened."
An inning later, on Alex Liddi's double, the ball eluded Suzuki's reach, and he skidded on the dirt as he tried to instantly change direction to get the bouncing ball.
So much sliding, skidding and falling is so unusual for Suzuki that he was asked by a reporter if he needed new spikes. Sitting in a squatting position on his chair after the game, Suzuki reminded the reporter that he wore new spikes for every game, then patted him on the shoulder, smiled, and said in English, "Don't you worry about it."
With their West Coast trip having started with three wins in four games, the Yankees were certainly not worried about anything.

Mike Shanahan believes the Washington Redskins could parlay Kirk Cousins into a first round pick if he performs well during the final three games of the season.
"If he lights it up, hey, maybe we can bring a first-round draft choice back to this organization, and say hey, who are we gonna take in the first round," Shanahan said. "And I think by him playing and Robert not playing, it gives us a chance to have a few options for our organization that we wouldn't normally have, and the safety of our quarterback going into the offseason is preserved….And we're still getting a chance to see a guy that we've got a lot of confidence in go out there and play. And his value can only go up. It cannot go down. It can only go up."
The Redskins don't have their own first round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft with it going to the St. Louis Rams as part of the Robert Griffin III trade.

Interactive Ways to Teach Cost-Effective Research Using Google Scholar and LexisNexis
The Law Teacher (Fall 2012)
43 Pages Posted: 9 Jul 2012 Last revised: 4 Mar 2013
Date Written: July 9, 2012
With a push in the legal market to minimize research costs, law schools should teach students about free and low-cost alternatives to LexisNexis and Westlaw. My article focuses on Google Scholar and Lexis. It starts on page 40 of the attached newsletter.
This article discusses an interactive way to teach law students about the content and features of Google Scholar and about its benefits and limitations. This article also describes an innovative way to teach students about the cost of researching on Lexis.com outside of the law school bubble and addresses how to integrate Google Scholar and Lexis.com while researching. I have included my in-class exercise at the end of the article.
Of course, the teaching methods discussed in this article could be used to teach cost-effective research on Westlaw Classic, WestlawNext, and Lexis Advance.
Keywords: legal research, internet research, online research, law school, Google Scholar, Google, LexisNexis, Lexis.com, Lexis Advance, Westlaw, WestlawNext

Medial compartment disease of the canine elbow is a common, highly debilitating orthopedic condition in need of a better treatment. The Proximal Abducting Ulnar Osteotomy (PAUL) procedure, invented and developed by Dr. Ingo Pfeil and KYON Veterinary Surgical Products, imposes a corrective limb alignment, aimed at unloading the medial compartment. The procedure, as currently practiced with the special Advanced Locking Plate System (ALPS) implants, presents relatively low morbidity and has met clinical expectations of some hundred surgeons who have performed over 2'000 procedures in the last several years. The course includes a dry lab on a plastic elbow model.
