The blatant statistical error "so widespread it appears in about half of all the published papers surveyed from the academic psychology research literature."

I read this article all worried, only to be relieved when the statistical error was revealed. At work, I'm always asking "Is this just noise?" which also comes in handy when I'm listening to political debates.

Actually statistics is an error in the first place.
That actual result for 95% confidence is that if you do the same procedure on some assumed random system without the comdition 100 times, it will only come out positive only 5 times.
But you don't have an actual assumed random system. So the 5 may not apply.
That's when everything is done right. - 9/10/11, 7:18 AM

Irradiated the article at the link and hope to fond the time to read the original source, but the scope is surprising. That is, it is surprising if psychologists are trying to make inferences about the difference in differences without the appropriate statistical estimates. It's not so surprising is they are simply reporting within group effects and are ignoring the between group differences. Also, the article at the link seems to imply that the standard errors for the within group and difference in differences tests are the same. They are not.

Social "science" curricula need to add statistical analysis techniques as a prerequisite. Otherwise a scholar may mistake association for correlation.
The clearest example of intentional misrepresentation I recall is the testimony of the Yale expert in the Bush/Gore butterfly ballot lawsuit. I saw this live, on television right here in St. Louis.
He stated the undervote was statistically associated with the butterfly ballot, as if association was proof of causation. My wife came downstairs to ask what I was shouting about.
In English, that's translated as, "the undervote was coincidental and not scientifically proven to be caused by the butterfly ballot."
Although the Bush team left a long pause before their next question, no one on either legal team openly challenged his statement!! - 9/10/11, 7:24 AM

Psychology or neuroscience?
- traditionalguy said...
Statistics is at the foundation of research science in studies of data.
If the credentialed ones are now faking the statistics when they are not faking the data, then we will never learn anything new that is not myth.
Science is dead.
A lack of integrity kills another blessing in life.
But at least we got rid of Judeo-Christian morality that once produced the integrity. That means less restraints on everything, you know. - 9/10/11, 7:50 AM

"...a little tricksy..."?
Give me back the statistics, my precious.
Is 15% significant? There seems to be a subjective issue in all of this. The overall tone seems to be "people highlight differences more than they should."
Which is a true point, but I think this is also factored in by academics when they read other works. - 9/10/11, 7:59 AM

From the article...
They've identified one direct, stark statistical error so widespread it appears in about half of all the published papers surveyed from the academic psychology research literature.
No, it does not.
Also from the article...
How often? Nieuwenhuis looked at 513 papers published in five prestigious neuroscience journals over two years. In half the 157 studies where this error could have been made, it was.
So it happened in 78.5 out of 513 papers, or ~15.3%.
If you're going to write an article about people's statistical mistakes, get your numbers right.
Note: Getting it wrong in 50% of the cases where you could get it wrong is very bad. You don't need to make it sound even worse. - 9/10/11, 8:16 AM

There is pressure to have results, and positive ones to get research funds, or get the drugs to market, but as one comment noted: Mr. Goldacre is falling into the same trap as these academics that have made flawed claims in their papers). Now it is true that most often, in the within-group analysis it is easier to achieve significance (making Mr. Goldacre's comment likely); however, other factors impact this likelihood such as size of the groups and how tight the data cluster around the mean in each of the two types of analyses. Hence, Mr. Goldacre's statement (above as I quoted) is a bit misleading. See how easily one can misinterpret statistics?
- Paddy O said...
"You don't need to make it sound even worse."
They were illustrating the practice of making results sound more impressive. Very tricksy of them! - 9/10/11, 8:31 AM

The article in the Guardian describes one major problem with statistical design in academic literature. A deeper problem is the almost universal assumption that normal distribution, which is the basis for most statistics, is--well--the norm.
If a phenomenon varies more than the normal curve suggests (e.g., a Cauchy distribution), then all the usual measures of statistical significance would be overstated. I've heard several times of "500-year" floods on the Mississippi, but I wouldn't be surprised if the erroneous use of statistical tests based on the normal curve was a reason. - 9/10/11, 8:35 AM

In half the 157 studies where this error could have been made, it was.
Does this mean that in 356 papers this error could not have been made? Did 356 papers not deal with experiments involving differences in differences?
I am confused. - 9/10/11, 11:00 AM

A lot of paychecks depend on getting published, even if it's pointless research that no one will ever read or use.
- kcom said...
All you have to do is read Steve McIntyre's work to realize that there is so much statistical incompetence and statistical shenanigans (sometimes it's hard to tell the difference) coming from the pro-AGW crowd that everything they do is suspect. That's why lots of us are skeptical. It seems that they don't use professional statisticians on most of their papers. They wing it themselves and get things wrong (or misunderstand what they are doing) routinely. You'd think with trillions of dollars at stake the very least that would happen would be that every finding would be rigorously examined for its statistical soundness by those specializing in that field. But that doesn't appear to happen. The AGW crowd is a closed circle and real statisticians aren't invited in.
- Zach said...
The danger of spreadsheets.
I suspect there are a lot of fields where statistical techniques are necessary to analyze data, but don't directly help with the design or implementation of experiments. That would explain why there are so many fields that use statistics extensively, but have practitioners who are not statistically adept. - 9/10/11, 1:30 PM

Getting the clap at conferences? Why would they want to do that?
- Milwaukee said...
At the Colorado School of Mines, they used to have a cheer: "Rippidy Rip, Rippidy Rap, Referee's got the (clap)(clap)(clap)." We didn't say he had the clap, we clapped our hands. Perhaps it had something to do with his vision, or lack thereof.
I spent semester recently in an College of Education on a Big Ten campus as a doctoral student. The statistics favored there is the analysis of variance. One of the tenets is that they Can Not prove cause and effect, they can only prove not a cause and effect. Sounds like a bunch of guessing in the dark.
We were warned, by the way, about continuous pagination. Some journals have continuous pagination where the first journal of a volume year will start at page 1, and end at page, 98, say. Then the next journal will start at page 99, and so on through the year. If we cited a journal that used continuous pagination, and we used the journal number in our citation, our professors might mark us down from an A. While
Althouse, A., 2011. "On the Terrace", Wisdom of Meade Journal, Vol. 58, No. 2, 213-215.
Althouse, A., 2011. "On the Terrace", Wisdom of Meade Journal, Vol. 58, 213-215.
might not really look different, they are different enough for the student to be taken down a letter grade.
Those pompous preening peacock professors are more interested in getting published, and cited, than they are in really doing anything useful and constructive. That just re-enforced my desire to return to the classroom, and actually teach students. No wonder there are no advances in education in this country, other than bloating the budgets for administrators and hiking tuition. - 9/10/11, 2:49 PM
- jimspice said...
Though I assume the findings of the linked original research are sound, I'm not convinced Goldacre's account of them are accurate. In his hypothetical example, of the reaction of the healthy cell reaction to chemical exposure he suggests "...there is a bit of a drop, but not as much – let's say 15%, which doesn't reach statistical significance." If that "which" were changed to an "and," I could see his point. But it's not the 15% drop which is not significant, but the 15% result.
He probably would have been better off choosing different example numbers; perhaps mutant drop of 30%, healthy drop of 20%, with a difference of 10%. The two 15s make it more confusing than is necessary.
This ties into my pet peeve of non-stats savvy people discussing science; the meaning of the word "significant" is very different in science than the everyday world. - 9/10/11, 3:07 PM
- sorepaw said...
Academic psychologists actually get a lot more statistical training than, say, medical researchers.
But there's tremendous lack of clarity about what inferential statistics (significance testing, confidence intervals) actually do or dont' do for the researcher.
For instance, every inferential procedure that I've ever countered presupposes random sampling from the population to which the researcher wishes to generalize.
Psychologists basically never do random sampling. Other social scientists hardly ever do.
Oops! - 9/10/11, 6:05 PM
- jimspice said...
"...presupposes random sampling from the population..."
In Poli Sci, when doing state level studies, researchers will often forego confidence intervals entirely, noting that since all 50 states, or the universal set, are included, they do not apply. Of course, this is not entirely true, but it's good enough for government work.
The one that always got me was when working with a given data set, additional statistical caveats should be provided each time the numbers are accessed. I always used it as an excuse to not think about work while at home lest I have to adjust my confidence downward (that's a joke by the way). Of course no one ever followed the practice and no one really cared.
By the way sorepaw, I see you don't know what "don't" means since you mis-spelled it (or would a mis-placed apostrophe be considered a punctuation error?). It's such a basic concept, I don't know how to begin to discount your contribution to the discussion. - 9/10/11, 7:01 PM

Modifier -50 (Bilateral Procedures)
POLICYAccording to CPT, unless otherwise identified in the listings, bilateral procedures that are performed at the same operative session should be identified by adding modifier 50 to the appropriate five digit code. The use of modifier 50 is applicable only to services and/or procedures typically performed on both sides of the body (mirror image) during the same operative session. The intent of this modifier is to be appended to the appropriate unilateral codes as a one-line entry on the claim form indicated that the procedure was performed bilaterally. Procedures performed bilaterally are identified by adding modifier 50 to the procedure code.To report a bilateral procedure to BCBSMS, the procedure performed should be repeated on the claim form with the modifier -50 appended to the second line with one (1) unit on each line. For example, if billing 20610 bilaterally, the code should be reported as follows: Line 1: 20610 with 1 unit Line 2: 20610-50 with 1 unit |

Leafs Battle Flyers Tonight In Philly
by Staff Writer / Toronto Maple LeafsMAPLE LEAFS (5-1-1) at FLYERS (4-2-1)
Season series -- This is the first of four games between the teams this season. The Flyers won three of four meetings last season, including both games in Philadelphia.
Big Story -- The Leafs will try to snap a win one/lose one streak over their last four games (they won their last game), while the Flyers will look to pull out of a funk that has seen them lose two straight and three of their last four.
Team Scope:
Maple Leafs -- Mikhail Grabovski wasn't about to gloat too much, but scoring the overtime goal Saturday against his former team, the Montreal Canadiens, had to feel pretty good.
Taking a pass from John-Michael Liles down low, he spun and lifted a shot over Canadiens goalie Carey Price.
Moments earlier, he drew an assist on Nikolai Kulemin's game-tying goal in the third period.
Grabovski had been booed by the Bell Centre crowd every time he touched the puck.
"I don't hear anything," Grabovski said with a grin. "I think I just hear when (Mike) Komisarek touched the puck."
Winning the game was all he was happy about.
"I had my family here in town today from Toronto and I'm happy for them because they came and saw how we won the game and I scored the winning goal," said Grabovski.
Flyers -- With so many new faces, there were bound to be communication issues, and it cost them the game Saturday against St. Louis.
Goalie Ilya Bryzgalov and defenseman Braydon Coburn botched a transfer behind the net, allowing the Blues' Matt D'Agostini to score 1:06 after the Flyers had made it a one-goal game.
"We have to establish it because it needs to be very simple," Bryzgalov said of communicating with his defensemen. "We need to have three words and everybody has to know these words … play it, leave it or over. Not, everybody comes up with his own words, like I'll pick up, or don't touch or something like that. It needs to be a simple three words so everybody understands everybody and we're all on the same page. And then we won't have this problem in the future."
Flyers defenseman Chris Pronger agreed that the communication on the ice needs to get better.
"We need to talk to him first and foremost," he said. "You have to talk on the ice let him know where you are, where you want it. We do stuff like this in practice all the time. You have to work at it. We've got to do a better job at communicating with him. He's stopping the puck for us. When he sets it up we have to go get it from him."
Who's Hot -- Leafs forward Phil Kessel has 5 points in his last three games, and entered the week leading the League with 14 points and tied for the top spot with 8 goals. … With an assist Saturday, Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds had 5 points in his first seven games, the best start of his first four NHL seasons.
Injury Report -- TSN is reporting Maple Leafs goalie James Reimer likely will miss the game due to a neck injury suffered Saturday against Montreal. Forward Colby Armstrong also is out with an ankle injury. Center Tim Connolly is questionable with an upper-body injury. … The Flyers have a fully healthy team.
Stat Pack -- Jaromir Jagr's seven-game goal drought is the longest he's gone from the start of an NHL season without scoring -- his previous long had been four games, in 1991-92 and 2007-08, his most recent previous NHL season. However, it's a far cry from the future Hall of Famer's longest goal drought -- 16 games, during his rookie season of 1990-91.
Puck Drop -- With so many new faces added this season, the Flyers were bound to run into a chemistry problem at some point. And in the last two games, they seem to have found plenty of them.
However, no one in black and orange is particularly worried, despite two straight losses.
"We have to continue to stay positive, to teach and to get to know each other," coach Peter Laviolette said following Sunday's practice. "As we grow we'll get strong by doing that. We have 82 games to build this and get it to where we want to be. Your goal by the end of that is to be a team that is ready to compete for the Cup."

Boston Globe Poll has Frank leading Bielat by 13 points
A new poll taken by the Boston Globe has US Representative Barney Frank, Democrat of Newton, leading his Republican challenger Sean Bielat by 13 percentage points among likely voters in the Massachusetts Fourth Congressional District. The survey of 385 likely voters had a margin of error of 5 percent.
Bielat, a moderate Republican who was endorsed by John McCain last week has aggressively attacked Frank for his role in the Fannie Mae – Freddie Mac debacle which led to the financial meltdown and present recession with skyrocketing unemployment. Bielat also received an endorsement from Sarah Palin last week as well, but dismissed it by saying, though he welcomed her endorsement he did not seek it and that she was not his top choice for a Presidential run.
Bielat said recently that he felt momentum in the race begin to shift toward him when Bill Clinton appeared at a Frank Rally and when it was reported that Frank felt it necessary to give $200k towards his own campaign for the final stretch run. Frank on the other hand has criticized the former Marine Lieutenant and Consultant to Department of Defense Contractors for his willingness to consider raising the Social Security retirement age to 72.
When questioned by reporters at a recent press conference on his views on abortion Bielat stated his belief that "Roe vs Wade was settled law" which prompted a lecture from Frank that it was a 5/4 decision which continues to be challenged by Republicans intent on getting more conservatives nominated to the Supreme court and is hardly settled law in his view.
With 11% of voters still undecided it is unclear which way they will break, although many political professionals believe that undecided voters this close to election usually break against the incumbent which could be good news for the Bielat camp considering the 5% margin of error.
The Globe article also said "voters also seemed unsure of his positions, background, or even that he was running at all, while many voiced support for Frank, who has represented the diverse district for three decades . The poll also showed that enthusiasm for voting in the election was running much higher among Republicans than Democrats.

Horse Photoshop Contest I've noticed there are quite a few people that work with photoshop so I decided to make a contest. Since I'm an "ACE," I'll be the judge, I may pick up a few more judges, we will see. Rules: It has to be your own work [in all ways], no copyright violations. That is it. The contest will be based on creativity, and technique used throughout the artwork. K. Go. |
Ha. wow, can someone move this to contests. |
Ghost Pony: http://aviary.com/viewfull?fguid=af2...5-0030488e168c Thanks to everyone over at deviantart for the lovely pictures. All were taken from stock accounts =D Oh and I didn't make this on photoshop.....I hope that's ok?? |
Means, we may not find a picture on google which there is a thing on we would like to cut out and use, or anything like that? So if I, for example need a house I am not allowed to take one from a random picture? Oh, and I suppose there have to be horse/horses on? |
2 Attachment(s) I did find pictures on google which I found useful, but I checked the sites they were on and I believe I do not violate their rules. I hope that's okay. ~MA01 EDIT: Sorry, I don't know what happened, apparently it attached two images. |
What's the winning prize? :P I'd totally enter but photomanips take me sooo long, so maybe if I have some spare time later I'll do it. Also, when does the contest end? |
MA01, that is your watermark at the bottom, yes? |
Yes It is. I wasn't going to post the one with watermark though, but somehow I accidentally did. |

Georgia Madison
Real Weddings Traditional Elegance
Franco Sarto Justin Alexander
Church Historical Venue
Peach Red
Baby's Breath Hydrangea Peony Ranunculus Rose
I may not know this darling duo in "real life," but there is one thing I can say with absolute certainty. This wedding is soooo them. A little bit classic, a little bit fun-filled and a whole lot of sophisticated everything, it's the kind of day that is chock-full of elegant moments and bundles upon bundles of personality. So even though we may only be virtual besties (we sooo are), it's not hard to see their smiling faces bursting from every second planned to perfection by No Regrets Events and captured by Simple Color Photography. See them all in the full gallery.
From the Bride… When we started planning our wedding, we tried to decide how we wanted to feel on our wedding day. We agreed that we wanted to be relaxed, traditional, and authentically us. We wanted family to be a big part of the weekend and we wanted a chance to really spend time with our bridal party and out-of-town guests. We answered this desire by doing a semi-destination wedding. We rented out the Farmhouse Inn in Madison, Georgia (a frequent childhood retreat of my family) for the entire bridal party to stay at, and had a ball staying up late around a bonfire the night before and having breakfast together the morning of the wedding. Both of our venues really captured the character of Madison and the feeling we wanted for our day; the church was an 1840's beauty that touched on my love of history and our deep faith, and the reception hall was a renovated schoolhouse (perfect for a teacher-bride!) with an airy, lovely space for our guests.
The day was steeped in family and tradition, and I wore a traditional Irish engagement ring that has been in my family for generations and has been worn by every bride on her wedding day, as well as a garter made by my lovely grandmother out of my great-grandmother's lace gown, and carrying the same handkerchief that my mother carried on her wedding day. The love that is carried through our families was displayed in canvas photos of mine and Andy's parents and grandparents on their wedding days, bringing with them the memory of decades of happiness. The grandparents who are no longer with us were present through candles lit in the church and ornamented with beautiful pendants with their photos.
We love to swing dance together, so we chose Big Band Atlanta to play at the reception, and loved swinging the night away with our guests. When it was time to depart the band played the Georgia Tech fight song (for Andy!) and the University of Georgia fight song (for me!) and our guests chose white-and-gold or red-and-black pom poms to cheer us on our way. It was such a fun way to get our guests involved and have so much fun with the traditional going-away.
We were delighted with how smoothly and beautifully everything went; we were so relaxed and happy on our big day, and we wouldn't change a thing!

FOREX-Dollar hit by Trump's healthcare defeat, drops to near 2-mth low
* Dollar/yen hits 4-mth low, euro strongest since early Dec (Updates prices, adds quotes)
* Bersani says he's ready to form minority government
* Will propose limited series of measures to parliament
* Bersani says debt targets must be delayed
By James Mackenzie and Stephen Brown
ROME/BERLIN, March 1 President Giorgio Napolitano ruled out an early return to the polls on Friday as Italy's parties wrangled over how to form a government after this week's deadlocked election.
Speaking during a state visit to Berlin, Napolitano said Italy needed a stable government and could not immediately hold a new election.
"I'm not interested in going back to vote again," he told reporters at the margins of an event at the Humboldt University.
Napolitano's mandate ends in mid-May but he said his successor would be just as reluctant to call a new vote.
"I doubt that a new president will be thinking only of new elections. We'll have to see how to give Italy a government," the head of state said.
He made his comments as the three main blocs in parliament grappled with the aftermath of a vote that has left none with a workable majority and has revived fears of a return to the euro zone debt crisis.
Economic data on Friday underlined the extent of the problems a new government will face, with youth unemployment rising to a record of almost 39 percent and public debt at 127 percent of gross domestic product.
Democratic Party (PD) leader Pier Luigi Bersani, whose centre-left coalition has a lower house majority but not enough seats to control the Senate, ruled out a "grand coalition" with Silvio Berlusconi's centre right.
"I want to spell it out clearly: the idea of a grand coalition does not exist and will never exist," he told the daily La Repubblica in an interview on Friday.
This shut off one of two apparent options for a new government, by closing the door on a formal alliance between the two biggest parties - which both backed the technocrat government of outgoing Prime Minister Mario Monti.
On Friday Berlusconi appeared in court at one of the three trials he is currently facing and denied allegations of tax fraud. He has also rejected separate accusations that he paid bribes to bring down Italy's last centre-left government in 2006.
The legal cases are one of the reasons there is huge opposition in Bersani's party to any alliance with the scandal-plagued media baron. Rank-and-file members believe any alliance with Berlusconi would bleed even more of their support to the anti-establishment party of Beppe Grillo.
Grillo's 5-Star Movement, which rode a huge protest vote to become Italy's third force in the election, has ruled out giving a vote of confidence to another party but says it may back individual laws.
In a sign of the tensions, the comic and blogger accused the PD of trying to persuade a number of 5-Star members to support a centre-left government.
"The 5-Star Movement, its deputies, its activists and its voters are not for sale. Bersani is finished and he doesn't realise it," he said in a blog post.
Grillo, whose Internet-based movement has shaken up Italian politics, has described the 61-year-old former industry minister as a "dead man talking" and said the next government will not last more than a year.
Bersani has refused to resign despite the centre left throwing away a 10-point opinion poll lead with a weak campaign that let both Berlusconi and Grillo exploit public anger over the economy to make huge strides in the weeks before the vote.
But he is under pressure and there is speculation he could be replaced, possibly by Matteo Renzi, the dynamic young mayor of Florence whom he defeated in last year's primary to select the leader of the centre-left coalition.
Without majority support in both houses of parliament, a government cannot pass legislation or win a vote of confidence and the deadlock between the parties has left it completely unclear how a new administration could be formed.
Bersani told La Repubblica he would present a programme based around a limited number of points, many of which are in line with Grillo's platform, and seek the support of parliament.
"You can call it what you want, a minority government, a government of limited purpose, I don't care," he said.
He said he would also present measures to strengthen the welfare system, cut the size of Italy's bloated parliament and reduce the generous salaries and benefits of deputies, among the best paid in Europe.
In addition, he would propose a series of measures to fight corruption and limit conflicts of interest for politicians.
Bersani said he would seek to ease the austerity programmes imposed by Monti with the approval of the European Union, saying he had consulted French Socialist President Francois Hollande. He added: "Austerity on its own leads to disaster."
"Everyone has to get it into their head that bringing down the debt and the deficit is an issue which has to be shifted to the medium term," he said. "At the moment, there is another priority, which is jobs."
After an initial sell-off, financial markets have so far taken the instability largely in their stride, but the deadlock has raised fears the euro zone debt crisis, which brought Monti to power in 2011, could flare up again.
Italy has pledged to balance its budget in structural, or growth-adjusted terms, this year but the austerity measures imposed by Monti to reach the goal have pushed it deeper into recession.
Data from statistics agency Istat showed that even in terms of budget policy, the tax hikes and spending cuts imposed by Monti's technocrat government had limited effect, with Italy only just scraping within European Union limits.

Please log in or register to answer this question. 2 Answers 2 votes Best answer Surf only protects against one of tyranitar's weaknesses- ground types. and earthquake can be learned by several non ground pokemon. so Instead I suggest giving it a move to protect it against fighting types, its biggest weakness. (granted fighting type attacks are fairly common on non fighting types, it still helps to be prepared) I think It can learn aerial ace, it is physical, so it reaps the benefit of the attack stat. On the other hand, tyranitars special attack isn't terrible, it can still do a fair amount of damage.This is just a suggestion though. answered Jul 17, 2010 by DarkTyphlosion By the way you frazed that I don't think you know that tyranitar ISN'T ground type. I know if you read the first sentence, it says that ground is referring to his weakness. I know it's a rock type. I know it is a dark rock type I have said that in several answers Please log in or register to add a comment. 0 votes You probably should get rid of it. Aerial ace would be good, but earthquake can deal with fighting types. No one knows why, but it is a physical move, so it will actually do more than aerial ace.(Earthquakes attack power is 100 compared to aerial ace's 60). Always remember, tyranitar is a dark/rock type. Protect would be a good move, since your ability is sand stream. Always take advantage of abilities:) answered Jul 18, 2010 by ohioscyther Sand Stream does not do enough damage to warrent Protect. Protect is a good move for other reasons any way. Why would you give it to someone else and not someone with sandstream. Please log in or register to add a comment.

Five Reasons to Love Kristen Bell [VIDEO]
Kristen Bell is the star of the hit show, Veronica Mars. You might already know her from this show or her numerous movies. But, have you really stopped to explore how dang cute she is? Here are five reasons why you should join the rest of America and fall in love with Kristen Bell.
Kristen Bell seems almost like a normal American girl. Aside from her successful film and TV career, she could be mistaken as the average girl next door. Blonde and cute. She is engaged and recently had her first child. But, there is something special about America's sweetheart.
1. Her Sense of Humor
Bell is not afraid to go for a laugh. If this video doesn't prove that, nothing will. Who else in Hollywood would make such a joke at their own expense?
2. Twitter Expert
Her ability to make us laugh doesn't stop when she emerges from behind the camera. Her tweets are some of the funniest on the whole world wide web.
3. Sloth Love
Kristen Bell is OBSESSED with sloths. She even recently compared her 2-month-old daughter to the cuteness of a baby sloth. If this interview with Ellen doesn't make you love this lady…well, I give up.
Subscribe to Mix 93.1 on
4. Quick Wit
You will find Bell's obsession with sloths and funny attitude all over a recent game she played of "Would You Rather." You can tell all of this just from a couple of her answers.
"Would You Rather: Let all sloths go extinct on the proviso that you get to keep one who is immortal and will have full conversations with you, or allow all the sloths to live but you were never allowed to see one again either in person or in any other way?"
"This is a terrible/brilliant question. I'm feeling selfish. Guarantee me the ecosystem doesn't suffer because of lack of sloths, and that every current sloth gets to live out its natural dying days, and you've got yourself a deal. Now give me my talking sloth."
Click here for a link to the entire list of questions and answers.
5. Look at Her
No, really just look at her. Don't try to lie and say that you don't like that face.
Come on lets all bow down to the inevitable, we all are HUGE fans of Kristen Bell.

A company known for making downsized PCs has announced two ARM-based desktop computers that will be shipping "soon" with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).
Giada has made its ARM desktops, the Q10 and Q11 very compact. Both measure 7.48-by-5.87-by-1.0 inches and, when mounted in the vertical position don't take up much more space on a desktop than a typical router.
The pint-sized desktops are built around the Allwins A10 ARM processor, which runs at 1GHz, and have Mali-400 MP4 graphics.
Inputs/Outputs include five USB 2.0 ports (four rear, one front), VGA and HDMI ports, an SD/MMC card reader, RJ45 jack, a fast Ethernet port, and support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Both units have 1GB of DDR3 RAM but the Q11 has 8GB of NAND Flash storage, while the Q10 has only 4GB of flash storage.
The Q11 also has a rechargeable battery that lets you disconnect the computer and move it to another location without shutting it down. It would also come in handy during a power outage.
If Android doesn't strike your fancy, you should be able to get a version of Ubuntu or Bodhi Linux to run on the systems, according to Brad Linder, writing for Lilliputing.
While Giada says at its website that its ARM desktops will be "coming soon," prognosticators are predicting the units will be showcased at CES next month.
Giada isn't the only company interested in Android desktops. Google's Motorola subsidiary introduced in September a "home entertainment terminal" only for the Chinese market that has an "all in one" PC look.
The Motorola offering, called the CloudBB, runs Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) with a Freescale i.MX53 ARM Cortex A8 processor running at 1GHz. Like the Q10, it has 1GB of Ram and 4GB of NAND flash. However, its guts are located in an 18-inch LCD touchscreen display, which comes with a wireless keyboard and mouse.
Google's intentions to bring Android to desktops and laptops is no secret. Earlier this year, it was revealed that the Search Goliath had filed for a patent in the United States for mapping touchscreen events to a trackpad, which would allow computers without a touchscreen to use Android.
This story, "Giada announces compact ARM-based Android desktop" was originally published by PCWorld.

It would also appear that unlike the United States, Malaysia is a viable market for simple, lightweight, utilitarian trucks. Advertisement Largely unchanged mechanically, the 2009 model retains the same 2.5-liter diesel engine generating 102 HP and 192 lb-ft of torque. While that might not sound like enough to power two dozen subwoofers, a DVD player, hydraulic suspension and A/C simultaneously, that's not as important for Malaysians, who actually use their trucks for tasks like hauling manure and bringing produce to market (often simultaneously if the durian fruit is anything to go by). Outside, the Hilux gets indicators integrated into the wing mirrors, a new bumper and a revised grille. While such minor changes might challenge the fragile masculinity of US market truck buyers, they should be enough to keep one of the most reliable, practical trucks ever made moving forward off showroom floors.

Quietly Settling Sexual Harassment Claims Against Housing Chief - (Philadelphia, PA) $900,000
The Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA) paid out $900,000 in confidential, out-of-court settlements to four female plaintiffs who filed sexual harassment suits against its director. The office oversees public housing for the city of Philadelphia, but nearly all of its $345 million annual budget is paid by using federal funds. The director, Carl Greene, has since been fired. A lawyer for one claimant, PHA architect Elizabeth Helm, said Greene told her a promotion was "contingent on a quid pro quo based on her succumbing to his unwanted sexual advances." The lawyer said Green told Helm, "I know you don't want to kiss me," before grabbing her and kissing her.

HD800 is on another level at all times. The T1 is a terrible headphone, or more precisely, a 'me too' headphone that performs worse than every other 'real' Beyer. The T1 has a very high noise floor, rings like crazy, has high distortion and in relation to the question, is drier and has a rough spikey treble. There's a reason the hype train on the T1 hasn't survived over the years.
I didn't mind the T1. But agreed the HD800 is a lot better.

But the prospect of murdering someone by remotely-screwing their, say, pacemaker, isn't that remote. And researchers at MIT are working to protect you from implant assassins. Advertisement Making it easier for implants to talk to doctors through the air means better treatment for people who need them. But this perk leaves the sick in peril, MIT scientists say: "In the worst-case scenario, an attacker could kill a victim by instructing an implantable device to deliver lethal doses of medication or electricity." That's no good! Is this a serious threat for most people? Definitely not. But it's not one you want floating around anyway.So MIT and University of Massachusetts-Amherst collaborated on a solution: a small, wearable jamming device, tailor-made for your implant, blocking out any and all unauthorized attempts to connect. It's taken some serious innovating to develop a wireless signal that won't disrupt the very implant the jammer's meant to protect, but the implant and jammer work together: "Because the shield knows the shape of its own jamming signal, however, it can, in effect, subtract it from the received signal." Your pacemaker stays shielded, the jammer handles the security work, and you can walk around without worrying about an invisible zap of death.

the issue is 2 fold here Monica. first of all our movement is non hiarchical. a hiarchical media group covering this with priveleged access is definetly a problematic situation. secondly the issue is ownership. what we make is by the movement for the movement. all our material is creative Commons. thorin alone owns all material on his channel...
please respond and engage these. concerns

2011/10/18 Vlad T <firstname.lastname@example.com>I spoke to some people on thorins team today and encouraged them to have a meeting and discuss the hiarchy issue. I think what will happen is that either that group adapts the same principles or a number of people working with him will be joining us in the near future.

Until it arrives, consider an idea like reader Metalgeek's clever "iPhone Braille Adapter". Advertisement Last year, my iPhone 3G's LCD died, but the touch-screen was still working. I could (by memory) slide-to-unlock, enter my passkey, and open the phone app. Saved my butt while I waited for a new LCD to arrive.So if the same thing's happened to you, and you're...A) Waiting for a new LCD to replace it (trust me, it's easy.) or Advertisement B) Saving up for a new iPhone (or better yet an Android!)... print out what I call an, "iPhone Braille Adapter". Only took a few minutes to whip-up. You've got the slide-to-unlock, unlock keypad, the default phone app icon location, the keypad button in the phone app, and the phone keypad itself.

Just tape it on with scotch-tape at the top & bottom, and you'll be able to get by until that new LCD/Phone is in your hands.Obviously the same idea could apply to most touchscreens—you'd just need a different template to fit your device.

CLEMSON, SC - Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd has been named one of 10 finalists for the Manning Award. The award goes to the top quarterback each year in college football, is sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, and is named in honor of the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning.
It is the only national award that takes the candidates' bowl performances into consideration in its balloting. The winner is scheduled to be announced on Wednesday, Jan. 9.
The finalists this year are Matt Barkley, Sr., Southern California; Tajh Boyd, Jr., Clemson; Collin Klein, Sr., Kansas State; Jordan Lynch, Jr., Northern Illinois; Johnny Manziel, Fr., Texas A&M; Marcus Mariota, Fr., Oregon; AJ McCarron, Jr., Alabama; Braxton Miller, So., Ohio State; Aaron Murray, Jr., Georgia; Geno Smith, Sr., West Virginia.
Twice this year Boyd has been named one of the Manning Stars of the Week. He was a four-time selection last year as the National Quarterback of the Week by the Manning Award, yet was not named a finalist in 2011.
"We think we have another great group of quarterbacks as our finalists," said Archie Manning. "Once again, there were so many outstanding performances by so many different guys, this was very tough to decide on 10, and I'd like to thank our selection committee for their time and effort.
"But what this is really about is the players themselves and I want to thank them all for their hard work all season long. I'm very much looking forward to the conference championships and bowl games to really see who steps up in the big-game situations."
The group is represented by just three seniors, to go with four juniors, one sophomore and two freshmen - the first two freshmen to be selected as Manning Award finalists. The finalists come from the Southeastern Conference (3), the Pac-12 (2), the Big 12 (2), the ACC (1), the Mid-American Conference (1) and the Big Ten Conference (1). Matt Barkley is the only player who has been a finalist in previous years (2011-12).
Wednesday was a big day of awards for Boyd. Earlier he was named a first-team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association, and the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year.
Boyd led the ACC in passing efficiency (168.5), total offense (336.8), yards per pass attempt (9.42), touchdown passes (34) and touchdowns rushing and passing (43). He had three games in which he threw five touchdown passes and had six 300-yard passing games. He set a Clemson record with 529 yards of total offense against NC State, and broke the ACC mark for touchdowns rushing and passing with eight in that same game.
Boyd is in his second year as a starter and has taken the Tigers to consecutive 10 win seasons, the first Clemson quarterback to do that since 1987-88 when Rodney Williams quarterbacked the Tigers to consecutive 10-2 seasons. Boyd is now seventh in Clemson history in wins with 20.
Boyd's 168.5 passing efficiency is a Clemson record and on pace to be the fourth best season in ACC history. His 34 touchdown passes have also tied the ACC record set by Philip Rivers, who had 34 in 2003.

Kimi ni Todoke Second Season
Source can be found in the upcoming image. Second season will air in January 2011.
I for one am so pleased that we'll be seeing a second season of the very successful first season. It turned out to be a very solid adaptation, even adding just a bit more to the overall experience towards the later parts of the series. There's some seriously good material that the second season will cover, so i can't wait. Praise to those who held out and didn't read the manga after the first season ended. You're in for a treat.

Really looking forward to this as I love the manga and the first season, and there are some great scenes that I would love to see animated.
As for the movie, I'd like to see it as well since the trailers looked promising, but we'll probably have to wait until it's out on DVD. |

This has got to be the best news I've heard in a long TIME! I Am SOOOO excited that they're having a second season.
For all you manga readers out there, how much manga material did the first season cover? And judging by how much manga material is out right now, how much do you think we'll cover in the second season? Is the manga coming to a possible closure? Will there need to be an anime only ending? [mod edit: Manga readers: If you want to answer these questions, please take it to PM/VM or the source thread, as these sorts of spoilers are not permitted in this thread.] So many questions are racing through my head right now, someone please help relieve mah stressss !

May 9, 2014 BOISE, Idaho - Boise State softball signed junior college shortstop Teauana Hughes to a National Letter of Intent, head coach Erin Thorpe announced Friday. Hughes is currently finishing her sophomore year at Mt. Hood Community College and is a native of Clatskanie, Ore. She bats and throws left handed. "We are very excited to welcome Teauna to our program," Thorpe said. "She is extremely athletic and has incredible power at the plate. She has all of the tools to play anywhere on the field and hit anywhere in the lineup. We are definitely looking forward to adding a player of Teauna's caliber to next year's roster." Hughes was the 2013 Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) South Region Player of the Year as a freshman after leading the league with 21 home runs and 60 RBI. She was also named NFCA NWAACC All-America, All-NWAACC South Region First Team and All-NWAACC Tournament. The Saints were 39-7 in 2013, including 16-4 in conference play. They finished third in the NWAACC Tournament. This year Hughes and the Saints are 34-2 with a 16-2 mark in conference games and in position to earn the top seed in the NWAACC Tournament. Individually, Hughes leads the NWAACC with 18 doubles and ranks in the top five in batting average (.509), home runs (14), RBI (57). "I chose Boise State because I heard nothing but good things about the softball program," said Hughes. "Playing at the Division I level has always been a dream of mine and I believe that Boise State was the perfect fit in every way." Hughes was a four-time all-state selection at Clatskanie High School, including being named Oregon 3A All-State First Team. She guided the Tigers to three-straight Lewis and Clark League championships in her final three seasons. Hughes was tabbed the Lewis and Clark League Player of the Year as a junior in 2011 and was a first-team all-league performer all four seasons. She hit .645 with seven doubles, 10 triples and two homers the year she was named player of the year. Hughes was also a letterwinner in basketball, soccer and volleyball at Clatskanie. She was a three-time all-league choice in basketball. The 2014 NWAACC Tournament will be held May 16-19, at Owens Sports Complex at Delta Park in Portland, Ore. |

The game is on right now 2/4/2006 3:300 ish Eastern time And it's tied 0-0 half way through the 2nd. It's on NBC, and it's a heck of a game. Watch it if you've got a chance. These teams always play eachother tough.
Thanks for the heads up, Supes. I don't watch the Wings that often, but I still like to watch them play Colorado. Even though the rivalry has died down significantly. And for those of us on the west side of the state (Grand Rapids, etc.) the game is on NBC (channel 8 in Grand Rapids).
For this being the "new" NHL, the score is only 1-0 (Wings), about 1/4 of the way through the 3rd. Cleary from Zetterberg.
Final of 3-0 Wings. Legace gets the shutout. Cleary scores Samuelsson scores Lang scores All goals in the 3rd. Good game. Good game for my Fantasy Hockey Team too. (Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Lang, and Samuelsson )
I only caught the third quarter, but lucky for me that's when all the scoring took place. No matter time nor place, I still love watching the Wings dismantle the Avs!
LMAO! Yeah, I'm aware of that. But it just goes to show how long it's been since I've watched hockey.

DRT is deploying a 1st Response Coordinating Team to Joplin, MO. A relief effort will be set up working with the Mt. Hope Church in Joplin.
To volunteer in any of these areas, please register on the DRT website. http://www.churchesofchristdrt.org/
Donations are greatly needed as well to help continue helping those in such need following disasters. Tax deductible donations can be made online at the above DRT website or can be sent by postal mail to:
DRT will also be continuing the relief efforts currently established in the Tuscaloosa, AL area as well as continuing to help the Muscle Shoals area as needed to reach out to several surrounding communities.
Below is an excerpt of an update from one of our coordinators, Harry Mansfield. Harry's daughter and son-in-law live very near to the destruction in Joplin as well as Harry's son-in-law being part of the EMS that was called into Joplin.
We just got off the phone with my daughter.
The hospital you see in the pictures from Weather Channel is in the southwest part of the city and is aprox 3-4 miles from Range Line the main commercial north-south street where the Wal-mart, Home Depot and Sports Authority stores were hit. The area bettween those locations is heavily residential.
The tornado continued on through more residential areas after crossing Range Line (If you look on a map Range Line may be listed as Bus 71.) I worked quite a bit in Joplin in the 80's and Denise lives 40 miles west of the city and we estimate that appox 25-30% of the city was destroyed. Also, Denise's husband is a Firefighter and Emergancy Management Specilist and has been deployed to Joplin. He says they are requesting a large number of body bags. The stores that were demolished are usually heavily occupied on a Sunday afternoon. There was very little or no warrning given on the appoach of this tornado, and the people in those stores were unable to get out. The original medical emergency center that was setup has been over run and two additional centers have been setup in schools. The Joplin metro area has an estimated population of 80,000 to 100,000. Jasper Co. MO has a total population of 117,000 with most of that in the Joplin vacinity. Also many of the cell phone towers are down and most of the land line commuincation in Joplin is out, so making phone contact is nearly impossible. Denise will keep me updated as she gets more info.

I was wondering if someone like myself could sign up to volunteer. I live in FL but would be able to come up there to help in MO for a week or more.
Any info would be great.
Thank you
