Diagnosing borderline personality disorder:the effect of therapist's negative emotional reactions on diagnostic judgements.
Mayo, Keith (2012-05-09)
Previous studies suggest that clinicians are prone to bias in diagnosing Borderline Personality Disorder(BPD)and that BPD symptoms elicit negative emotional reactions(NER)from clinicians.However,no studies have specifically examined the effect of NER on the diagnosis of BPD.This study examined the decision-making processes used when assigning a diagnosis of BPD,specifically,whether clinicians NER towards patients exhibiting BPD symptoms bias decision-making and result in misuse of the BPD diagnosis.A randomly-selected national sample of 98 licensed psychologists completed an Internet survey in which they read two case vignettes that were designed to elicit NER but were below threshold for a diagnosis of BPD.Participants rated the representatives of a series of Axis I and II diagnosis and rated their level of confidence;rated severity,prognosis,and the likelihood of the individual in the case benefiting from treatment;and rated the applicability of a series of symptoms for the case(including each of the DSM-IV criteria for BPD).They then rated the degree of NER felt toward the patient using two subscales of the Impact Message Inventory(IMI).Results provided moderate support for the prediction that participants who report higher levels of NER wold be more likely to diagnose BPD,would assign higher BPD representativeness ratings, and would rate the prognosis and likelihood of response to treatment lower.Predictions concerning the moderating effects of clinician variables(years of clinical experience,percentage of time spent in direct patient contact) were not supported,but clinician gender had significant effects on the diagnosis of BPD.The hypothesis that clinicians who were asked to assign diagnosis before rating symptoms(i.e a stimulated prototype approach)would be more prone to over-diagnosis of BPD was also not supported,but order of the cases had unexpected effects on the results.Implications for clinical training and directions for future research are discussed.
Comparitive life histories of some species of redhorse,subgenus moxostoma,genus Moxostoma
Brown, Barbara A (2012-05-09)
Three species of Moxostoma(M.anisurum,the silver redhorse;M.Erythrurum,the golden redhorse;M.duquesnei,the black redhorse) were examined in order to characterize them as they occur in Otter and Brouillettes Creeks in Vigo County,Indiana and to qualify differences between them in habitat,food habits and morphology.Low numbers of captures of Moxostoma made habitat evaluation difficult.The three species co-occurred in both creeks.Temporal differences in occurrence of redhorses in the creeks were observed.Redhorses were captured with low frequency before August of both years.Golden redhorses were captured in higher numbers than the other species.Moxostoma duquesnei was the least common.The species exhibited similar food habits.Insect larvae,especially chironomids,were found in the highest volume and frequency in all three species.Copepods were the second most important items of both M.anisurum and M erythururum,while the item second in abundance in M.duquesnei was insect pupae.Age 0 fish varied significantly in % volume insect larvae consumed between M.erythrurum(63.9% vol) and M.duquesnei(79.4% vol) and M.erythrurum and M.anisurum(76.2% vol).Similar results occurred in % volume of copepods eaten(M.erythrurum=21.3% vol;M.duquesnei = 4.6% vol;M.anisurum = 15.8% vol).Detailed morphological data were collected from each species.No differences were seen between the sexes.Age classes were compared by ANOVA and Discriminant Function Analysis.Individuals of silver and black redhorses could be identified to age class 100% of the time.Golden redhorses could be correctly aged only 90% of the time due to difficulty in separating older fish.The shape of the lower lips was the best character for dsicriminating among the three species.Moxostoma anisurum was charcaterized by a very acute angle formed by the meeting of the halves of the lower lips,Moxostoma erythrurum by an obtuse angle of aprroximately 140 degrees,and M.duquesnei by an angle of 180 degrees.Only a single specimen of M.erythrurum was difficult to identify using this character.Other characters used exhibited much overlap among the species.
The effects of supportive interventions on first-year teacher efficacy.
Johnson, Li-Yen K. (2012-05-09)
Purpose of study:The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of supportive interventions on first-year teacher efficacy.Two Rand Studies(1976 & 1977)and a study by Kilgore and Kozisek(1989)provided the theoretical framework for this investigation.Procedures:One hundred and fourty-four first-year teachers in the Indianapolis Public Schools received a questionnaire to participate in this study.Ninety-five teachers responded to the questionnaire.The response rate for the teacher questionnaires was 66%.The questionnaire was divided into five parts.The first part measured teacher efficacy.This was determined by answers given to questions regarding the confidence level of first-year teachers in areas such as classroom discipline,instruction,assessment,and public relations.The second part measured teacher support from peeople other than the mentor.This was a measure of school climate.The third part measured instructional guidance.Instructional guidance was defined as the feedback given to teachers on their performance.The fourth part was a measure of principal support.Teachers rated how often each of fifteen behaviors was associated with principals.The fifteen behaviors included discussion on district and school policies,classroom observation,invitations to school gatherings,suggestions on assessment,assistance with teaching strategies,demonstration of lessons,assistance with administrative paperwork,encouragement to attend professional development activities,and assistance with classroom management.The fifth part was a measure of mentor support.Teachers again rated how often each of same fifteen behaviors was associated with mentoring.Demongraphic data were collected,analysed and reported.Descriptive data were tabulated and analyzed to determine whether mentor support,teacher support,principal support,and instructional guidance had an effect on first-year teacher efficacy.Findings:Four hypotheses were tested in this research project.Statistical analysis included descriptive statistics,Pearson correlation,and regression analysis.The building Environment or climate(support),instructional guidance,and principal support had an effect on teacher efficacy.There were significant relationships found between efficacy and suppport,instructional guidance,and principal support.However,there was not a significant relationship found between efficacy and mentoring.This information suggests that mentoring support cannot increase first-year teacher efficacy and teacher efficacy is related to the building climate(teacher support),instructional guidance,and principal support.Furthermore,aditional item correlation analysis reveals that a sense of accomplishment,job satisfaction,and sufficient materials do significantly impact first-year teacher efficacy.The results of this study should be of interest to both district and school level administrators.Since teacher efficacy is related to teacher retention and student achievement,district and school level administrators should make every effort to create a professional environment that values collegiality and positive school climate.
The use of thermal infrared multispectral scanner data for geochronologic mapping of the cima volcanic field,san bernardino,california
The use of the Thermal Infrared Multispectral Scanner(TIMS)as a tool for geologic mapping of a portion of the Cima Volcanic Field,San Bernardino County,California was investigated.TIMS data received from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory were reformatted and analyzed in the LARSFRIS computer processing environment at the Indiana State University Remote Sensing Laboratory.Classifications of the Cima Field lava flows were produced from three data sets derived from the raw TIMS data(radiance,emissivity,decorrelation stretch).Earlier chemical analyses have shown that Tertiary lava flows are consistency higher in bulk silica than the Quaternary lava flows.It was hypothesized that the TIMS system would be able to identify this trend and thus be a good tool for geologic mapping in the Cima Field area.The classifications were analysed in order to understand the nature of the information contained in each of the data sets.Classifications suing each of the original data sets along with classifications formed from combinations of the three original data sets were produced in an attempt to best differentiate features of interest in the Cima Volcanic Field study area.The best classification produced allows an analyst to discriminate the Tertiary lava flows from the Quaternary lava flows with acceptable accuracy.It also allowed the discrimination between the Quaternary lava flows through the use of textures created by the mixing of colors in the image product.This classification corresponded well to the existing geologic maps of the Cima Field Study area.The best classification did not prove to be the one using all of the available information but rather utilizing all of the radiance and emissivity bands and band 1 of the decorrelation stretch data set.Bands 2 and 3 of the decorrelation stretch data set tended to amplify geomorphic and scanner noise,thus they were poor to use for classification.The spectral relationships within the data sets were analysed in the light of geochemical and radiometric information culled from the literature on the Cima field.One trend which was identified in the data sets consisted of increasing radiances in the lava flows with decreasing age.This trend could have been associated with the geochemistry or with geomorphology of the study area.Future considerations for research are presented along with recoomendations for the use of TIMS data and possible design changes for an improved thermal scanner.
The differences of information technology visions between the faculty and students in the engineering laptop institution.
Yamamoto, Toshiyuki (2012-05-10)
The main purpose of this study was to examine the Information Technology Visions of the faculty and the students in the engineering college with atleast five years of history of being a laptop institution.A survey was conducted in the Division of Human Information Sciences at Kanazawa Institute of Technology in Kanazawa,Japan which has been a laptop institution since 1993.Furthermore,the relationship between the Information Technology Vision(henceforth,IT Visions)and computer skills was examined independently at the faculty's level and at the student's level.An original instrument was developed from Delcourt et al.(1994) and Janz(1999) as the basis for the survey.The instrument contained four parts:Part I included questions about demographic information;Part II included questions regarding prior experience in Information Technology;Part III included questions about the IT Vision;Part IV included questions about computer skills.The uniqueness of this instrument was that both the faculty and the students were examined using the same instrument.The participants in the survey were all faculty members in the Division of Human Information Science:24 male professors and 644 students.All 24 professors were selected as the faculty sample.50 students were randomly selected from a completed survey pool with the method of a stratified sampling conforming to the student population radio of 91% male and 9% female.This study was composed of three examinations:The difference of the IT Vision between the faculty sample and the stratified student sample;the relationship between the IT Vision and computer skills in the faculty sample;the relationship between the IT Vision and computer skills in the stratified student sample.Results showed that the IT Vision of the faculty and that of the students were significantly different.The student's IT Vision was higher than the faculty's.Further,the correlation results showed that the faculty's IT Vision was not significantly correlated with their computer skills,while the student's IT Visions was significantly correlated with their computer skills.
The compositional style of keith emerson in Tarkus(1971)for the rock music trio emerson,lake and palmer.
Ford, Peter T (2012-05-10)
British composer and keyboardist Keith Emerson(b.1944)has composed for various mediums,which include piano,orchestra and rock trio.A consistent level of musical awareness is manifested in all three of these mediums,and a unique compositional style can be identified by studying the rhythmic,melodic,harmonic,and formal language of his music.The subject of this discussion is one representative large-scale work,Tarkus(1971),as it appears on side one of the eponymous album recorded by the rock music trio Emerson,Lake and Palmer (ELP).The Tarkus album was released in 1971 during the early initial ELP period.Theintent of this thesis is to define and document the compositional approaches keyboardist Keith Emerson took when writing the suite Tarkus for Emerson,Lake and Palmer.Following a biographical chapter,this study examines each of the seven movements of the suite,detailing Emerson's compositional treatment of instrumentation,text (where applicable),rhythm,texture,harmony,melody,counterpoint and form.An eclectic analytical approach is taken,with theoretical descriptions of vertical and linear events including traditional functioning harmony,jazz chord symbols,atonal set theory,and other devices.Emerson's compositional collaboration with Greg Lake on certain meovements is also addressed.A Summary and Conclusions chapter ends the study.Tarkus was chosen for analysis for the following reasons:it is oen of the few large-scale works by Emerson with a published score;it contains representative a large-scale work from the beginning of the early initial ELP period,Emerson's most prolific and successful period to date.Emerson's compositional style in Tarkus is consistent with both earlier and later works,as it involves an abundance of harmonic and melodic intervals of a fourth,the use of ostinatos,and the recurrence of compound meters.
The development and change process needed for the implementation of the electronic writing protfolio to assess student writing at Eastern Illinois University.
Hopgood, Debra Cross (2012-05-10)
The purpose of this study was to analyse how the adoption of an electronic writing portfolio led to institutional change at an institution of higher education that chose to adopt the Electronic Writing Portfolio(EWP)to assess the writing skills of their students.This study also analyzed the perceptions and experiences of key administrators and faculty that participated in the adoption of the EWP.The research questions addressed in this study were:1)To what extent has the institution demonstrated that the EWP is linked to the mission of the institution? 2)What is the institutional evidence that faculty participated in the development of the EWP? 3) what is the institutional evidence that the EWP is institution-wide in conceptualization and scope? 4)To what degree has the perceptions of key faculty and administrators,regarding the development and implementation process of the EWP,been congruent with the Four-Frame Model for organizational change developed by Bolman and deal(1997)? The research was a qualitative study using a case study design.Eastern Ilinois University,located in Charleston,Illinois was the case study institution.The case study was conducted in accordance with the protocol established in Research Designs by John W Creswell(1994).Information was gathered from archival data and through interviews with key faculty and administrators.A literature review related to organizational change and assessment in higher education was conducted.Minutes taken from meetings of the Committee for the Assessment of Student Learning were reviewed and analysed.Minutes from the Writing Across the Curriculum and the Council on Academic Affairs were also reviewed and analyzed.The conclusions indicated that faculty and administrators consistently demonstrated in their interviews that the Electronic Writing Portfolio and the University's mission statement are linked.Faculty also consistently demonstrated that faculty was engaged in the development of the Electronic Writing Portfolio.Interviews also indicated,however,that administrators believe there was not enough faculty involvement.The research also indicated,that the issue of second tier assessment has not been resolved.This indicated congruence with Bolman and Deal's(1997)political framework,which states that conflict is natural and inevitable.Future study is recommended to analyze the effects of the fully implemented EWP from student's freshman through senior year.The effects of the EWP on teaching and learning should be studied as well.Additionally,a study is recommended to analyze why there is a difference of opinion between faculty and administartion concerning the level of faculty participation in the development and implementation of the EWP.
Saudi College Student's preference for synchronous and asynchronous web-based courses:An exploratory study.
Al-Jabri, Abdullah (2012-05-17)
Technology has become an essential component of the teaching-learning process,and online-learning,in particular,has captivated the interest of many educational institutions throughout the world.Web-based learning has provided both students and teachers with new and unique ways of communicating with each other.As a result,many studies have been conducted to investigate factors affecting the establishment of productive communications in web-based settings.Likewise,the focus of this study is how the number of courses completed and the participants perception of their English language competence impacted their preferences for synchronous and asynchronous web-based learning in English instruction and in Arabic instruction.The sample consisted of 82 Saudi undergraduate students enrolled at Indiana State University during the spring 2011.The study used a hard copy modified version of a survey that was designed by Burton(2009)containing 27 items,which were divided into three parts.A four-point Likert scale was utilized to gain an overall score of student's preferences for synchronous and asynchronous web-based courses.Descriptive statistics(frequencies,means and standard deviations,skewness and kurtosis).one-way ANOVA tests,and repeated measures test(paired samples t-test)were utilized to answer the questions presented in this study.The results revealed that there was no significant difference in student preferences for synchronous web-based courses delivered in English or Arabic on the basis of grade level or the learner's perceptions of their level of English language proficiency.There were also no significant differences between preferences for synchronous learning in English(L2)and preferences for synchronous learning in Arabic(L1).The results also showed that the participants had greater preferences for synchronous online courses over asynchronous online courses.These findings mirror those found in earlier studies.The descriptive statistics revealed that learners had a strong preference for having direct conversations with the teacher,having more flexibility,studying on their own,and learning new materials through discussions with others or through having someone explain it to them.
An interpretative study of the perceptions and reactions of spanish-speaking students to motivators and demotivators in the english as a new language classroom.
Brizuela, Alejandra Alvarado (2012-05-18)
Using a qualitative approach,this study explored and analysed the experiences of Spanish-speaking students who took English as a second language(ESL)classes during Grades K-12 as well as the experiences of teachers licensed for English as a second language who teach in public schools in Indiana.Data were collected by conducting individual interviews with four teachers and once focus group session with three former ESL students who are Spanish-speaking Hispanics.The analysis of the data resulted in emergent themes that helped to identify specific motivators and demotivators that play a role in the ESL class.The six main themes that emerged from the data were the language learning environment,the student-teacher relationship,the choice of task or reading material,the use of technology,peer scaffolding,and the difficulty of the task.In addition to these themes,student's perspectives on placement as well as the teacher's concerns and ideas scenarios were also included in this study.All the information provided by the participants can be used to better understand the dynamics of the language classroom and how these dynamics either promote or hinder the student's willingness to learn English.
The relationship between reading fluency and mathematical word problem solving:An exploratory study.
Walker, Amy M (2012-05-18)
The present study examined the relationship between Oral Reading Fluency(ORF)scores and mathematics problem solving scores.The reading fluency scores were obtained from the Dynamic Indicator of Basic Early Literacy(DIBELS)assessment.The mathematics problem solving scores were obtained from the Indiana State Test of Education Progress Plus(ISTEP+)assessment.In addition,error patterns found in mathematics problem solving on ISTEP+and Acuity Diagnosis Tests were analysed.The purpose of the quantitative study was to determine if DIBELS ORF scores were correlated with mathematics problem solving ISTEP+ scores.A linear regression was conducted to determine the significance of the correlation.The purpose of the qualitative study was to determine error patterns found on the Mathematics Problem Solving portion of the ISTEP+ test and the Acuity Mathematics Diagnostic test.For both studies,the data were evaluated for the whole group,male group,and female group.For the qualitative analysis,data were also examined based on DIBELS oral reading fluency level.A total of 121 students in Grades 3,4 and 5 were used for the study.The students attended an inner city schools in the midwestern portion of Indiana.Several ethnic groups were represented,including Caucasian,Hispanic,African American and multiracial.The majority was from high poverty level homes and qualified for either free or reduced lunch services.
The impact of state energy programs and other contextual factors on US buildings energy comsumption.
Boadu, Andrea N.Y.A Ofori (2012-05-18)
High energy consumption in the United States has been influenced by populations, climates, income and other contextual factors. In the past decades, U.S. energy policies have pursued energy efficiency as a national strategy for reducing U.S. environmental degradation and dependence on foreign oils. The quest for improved energy efficiency has led to the development of energy efficient technologies and programs. The implementation of energy programs in the complex U.S. socio-technical environment is believed to promote the diffusion of energy efficiency technologies. However, opponents doubt the fact that these programs have the capacity to significantly reduce U.S. energy consumption. In order to contribute to the ongoing discussion, this quantitative study investigated the relationships existing among electricity consumption/ intensity, energy programs and contextual factors in the U.S. buildings sector. Specifically, this study sought to identify the significant predictors of electricity consumption and intensity, as well as estimate the overall impact of selected energy programs on electricity consumption and intensity. Using state-level secondary data for 51 U.S. states from 2006 to 2009, seven random effects panel data regression models confirmed the existence of significant relationships among some energy programs, contextual factors, and electricity consumption/intensity. The most significant predictors of improved electricity efficiency included the price of electricity, public benefits funds program, building energy codes program,financial and informational incentives program and the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. Consistently, the Southern region of the U.S. was associated with high electricity consumption and intensity; while the U.S. commercial sector was the greater benefactor from energy programs. On the average, energy programs were responsible for approximately 7% of the variation observed in electricity consumption and intensity, over and above the variation associated with the contextual factors. This study also had implications in program implementation theory, and revealed that resource availability, stringency and adherence had significant impacts on program outcomes. Using seven classification tables, this study categorized and matched the predictors of electricity consumption and intensity with the specific energy sectors in which they demonstrated statistical significance. Project developers, energy advocates, policy makers, program administrators, building occupants and other stakeholders could use study findings in conjunction with other empirical findings, to make informed decisions regarding the adoption, continuation or discontinuation of energy programs, while taking contextual factors into consideration. The adoption and efficient implementation of the most significant programs could reduce U.S. electricity consumption, and in the long term, possibly reduce U.S. energy waste, environmental degradation, energy imports, energy prices, and demands for expanding energy generation and distribution infrastructure.
The effect of Instrument Type on the measure of Hydration Status
Niemann, Andrew (2012-05-18)
Context: Although some instruments have been validated for clinical measure of hydration status, new and currently invalid instruments are available for purchase and clinical use. Athletic trainers commonly use these instruments to assess hydration status for weight checks and body mass loss charts due to their ease of use. However, the validity of these popular instruments has not yet been established. Objective: To determine the validity of urine specific gravity (USG) for the assessment of hydration status via the following instruments: handheld clinical refractometer, pen style digital refractometer, and midget urinometer as compared to the gold standard urine osmometer(OSMO). Design: Descriptive diagnostic validity study. Setting: Biochemical research laboratory. Patients or Other Participants: Healthy active men and women (n=108;mean age=22±4yrs; self reported height=174±20cm and mass=75±17kg) were recruited among faculty and students on a university campus. Interventions: The independent variable was instrument type with four levels: osmometer, handheld clinical refractometer, pen style digital refractometer, and midget urinometer. After recruitment, participants completed an informed consent and a short health history questionnaire to rule out any exclusionary criteria such as kidney disease or chronic urinary tract infection. Participants were then given a clean standard urine cup and asked to provide as much sample as possible, providing more than one cup when possible. Main Outcome Measures: Hydration status was measured by USG and OSM. USG was evaluated by a handheld clinical refractometer, pen style digital refractometer, and midget urinometer. The gold standard OSM was calculated by a freezing point depression osmometer. Z scores were calculated for each instrument and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients were evaluated to examine the relationship between each instrument of USG and OSM. Results: Strong significant correlations were identified for the digital refractometer (r=0.814, p< 0.001) and handheld clinical refractometer (r=0.943, p< 0.001) with OSM. A weak statistically insignificant correlation was established between the midget urinometer (r=0.133, p< 0.142) and OSM. Average hydration status indicated variability among some of the instruments: digital refractometer USG=1.0194±0.0075, clinical refractometer USG=1.020±0.007, urinometer USG=1.028±0.091, osmometer OSM=743±271) Conclusions: Handheld clinical refractometry can be used confidently for assessing hydration status as it shows a strong significant correlation with the gold standard osmometer, which is consistent with previous literature. Additionally, the use of the pen style digital refractometer showed a strong, significant correlation with the gold standard osmometer and provides clinicians with another option for the clinical assessment of USG and hydration status. The findings of this also study suggest that the use of a midget urinometer should be performed with extreme caution, as it showed a weak correlation with the gold standard osmometer, indicating it might not provide accurate results when used to determine hydration status.
School leadership mentoring characteristics in an era of significant educational reform.
Monahan, Bobbie Jo (2012-05-18)
The state of Indiana is undergoing substantial educational reform,as is the nation.Educational leaders are in great need of support as they address reform initiatives.The support that educational leaders receive from mentors/coaches may be a determining factor in how they embrace the latest reform and work with their school communities.The primary purpose of this study was to understand the role of experienced superintendents/district leaders as mentors and coaches to new superintendents/district leaders in times of stressful educational reform.Four experienced district leaders were interviewed using the research method of qualitative inquiry.Based on the perceptions of four experienced district leaders in response to interview questions involving leadership skills outlined by the National Association of Secondary School Principals:Mentoring and Coaching-Developing Educational Leaders,the following conclusions were made:1)The mentor's leadership style is significant in the mentoring of new district leaders.Each participant described his or her leadership styles differently,yet there is a connection of high involvement in their organizations and the need to adapt their leadership to each unique situation. 2)Legislative agendas are directly impacting district leadership.Both Indiana Senate Bill No 575(Collective Bargaining Act,2011a)and Indiana Senate Bill No 1(Teaching Evaluation and Licensing Act,2011b)clearly focus on district leaders.3)Stress defines educational leadership and is a persistent topic between mentors and mentees. 4)Stress is a positive factor in leading.However,the stress from current educational reform is viewed as a positive factor in leading amidst the negative stressors. 5)Successful mentoring practices in education among participants are more informal than formal.6)The reasons for mentoring in an educational setting are grounded in feeling of moral accountability regarding mentoring and giving back to the craft of leading.

Good riddance 2010 and hello 2011, and the Padre faces another hurdle
* ... NEW YEAR: By all accounts 2010 was another tough year in this prolonged Great Recession, so let's all hope the new year ushers in better times. I compiled my own list of hopes for our community for the new year. Here's a sampling:
1) Let's hope we can go a full year without a single case of child abuse or animal cruelty in our community.
2) I pray for the recovery of our real estate market and better times for our hard working local Realtors.
3) I hope for more of a civil discourse in our nation, and that all sides - liberals and conservatives - learn to work together for the common good.
4) For all those out of work, here's hoping there are paychecks and health insurance on the horizon.
5) For all those ailing and battling sickness, both physically and emotionally, here's to a rapid recovery and good health.
6) If just a few of those come to pass, it will be a good year.
* ... PADRE: Local risk management consultant John Pryor shared with me a letter, penned on old Padre Hotel stationery, that was written to him when he was just six days old. It was written by R.L. Hendrickson, who was an insurance company "special agent" who worked with Pryor's insurance broker father. "I was six days old when he wrote this letter," Pryor wrote to Brett Miller, the Padre's new owner. "The Padre Hotel was just four years old. Bakersfield's population was about 27,000. Our family's phone number at the time was 89 - without any dial until later. The Padre's phone number wasn't listed on its letterhead. It wasn't needed. Callers simply picked up the phone and asked for the Padre Hotel. The friendly operator complied and made the connection." The original owners were Roy Cummings and Fred Widmer. The letter gave Pryor some advice about obeying his mother and father and ended with the line, "A Merry Christmas to you and the OLD people."
* ... MORE PADRE: Speaking of the Padre, I'm also hoping the historic hotel emerges from its latest round of worries and successfully renegotiates a $8.4 million loan to keep the old girl open. The Padre's dilemma is a metaphor for the long-tail effect of this recession: a loan taken out two years ago by a La Jolla bank that no longer exists and now called by a new bank (OneWest) that has no ties to our community. The irony is that the Padre is doing well - sold out rooms for New Year's and cash flow positive. I work and live downtown and spend a lot of time at the Padre and know its owners well, so I am not unbiased here. But these are folks who put their own capital at risk to bring life back into downtown, and it serves absolutely no one to see this venture fail. It's in all of our interests that the Padre stays open and under its current ownership.
* ... MORE MIGS: Yet another person has come forward to recall, with great fondness, former East High teacher and football coach Migs Apsit. This time it was John Brock who wrote to recall when he joined the group of kids who Migs took across the country every summer. "Others will know more about him than I but I happened to go with him on one of the trips for high school kids he organized during summer vacations. It was called the USA Tour and it essentially circumvented the U.S. over a period of about six weeks. I recall that there were about 70 kids and we traveled in two buses. We stayed in hotels, motels and camped out occasionally. It was a fantastic experience." And so it sounds.
* ... DID YOU KNOW? Some of the rumored Chinese tunnels downtown actually do still exist. During the retrofitting and renovations to the basement of the Hay Building (soon to be 1612 City Lofts) workers uncovered and then resealed tunnels leading out under Eye Street and also 19th Street.
* ... BAKERSFIELDISM: You know you're a Bakersfield old-timer if "you remember when almost every doctor in town had an office in the Haberfelde Building."

Have really come to enjoy reading this daily in the past year as well as getting to know its author. I concur that The Padre has brought more of a life back to downtown along with the opening of art galleries as well as the soon to open lofts, but it is going to take all of those things opening together and remaining open for a realistic amount of time to give bakersfield a true faith back in downtown. To get a younger generation to want to spend time in and invest in downtown and appreciate the history Downtown Bakersfield has to offer in its original architecture, in its shopping, in its restaurants, in its bar scene and in its people. I have faith in that Downtown will prevail. Thank you to all your support Mr. Beene and thank you for the well wishes to our Bakersfield Realtors. 2011 is going to be a great year.

Adam: Thank you for the kind words and for reading. And I agree that downtown still has a long way to go. One step at a time. Here's to a grand 2011.
MAYBELLINE said...
I wish the Padre the best; but I believe that I'm with many others that have not patronized the establishment. This will end in 2011. I resolve to come in and enjoy the place and encourage so many others.
Perhaps incorporating something like Beene's Bakersfieldisms into the theme would bring a bunch of us "old timers" around. We really love this stuff.

Q: Modifying javascript to maintain HTML dropdown menu selection in Flask I have a simple Flask application which requires the user to select an option from the dropdown menu of 5 options. This selection is then submitted, run through a pickled model, and produces a prediction.
I would like the most recent option selected by the user to remain selected in the menu after the form is submitted. I'll post my flask application python script and my attempt to coerce this behavior in my .html files. Note that no errors are generated- the application runs, but these portions of javascript have no effect.
I would be so grateful if someone could help me fix the code- I'm a javascript novice, so I wonder if it's rather simple.
app.py:
from flask import Flask, request, render_template
import pickle
import numpy as np

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def home():
    return render_template('landing_ex_2.html')

@app.route('/resell', methods=['POST'])
def get_price():
    if request.method=='POST':
        result=request.form
        category = result['category']

        pkl_file = open('cat', 'rb')
        index_dict = pickle.load(pkl_file)
        cat_vector = np.zeros(len(index_dict))

        try:
            cat_vector[index_dict['category_'+str(category)]] = 1
        except:
            pass

        pkl_file = open('model.pkl', 'rb')
        model = pickle.load(pkl_file)
        prediction = model.predict(cat_vector.reshape(1, -1))

        return render_template('landing_ex_2.html', prediction=prediction)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.debug = True
    app.run()

landing_ex.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>

  <form id = "selling_form" action = "/resell" method="POST">

 Select Category :
        <select id = "mySelect" name="category">
        <option value="tops">Tops (shirts, blouses, tank tops) </option>
                <option value="bottoms">Bottoms (pants, shorts, skirts) </option>
                <option value="dresses">Dresses </option>
                <option value="outerwear">Outerwear (jackets, sweaters) </option>
                <option value="accessories">Accessories (small miscellaneous items) </option>
    </select>

 <input type ="submit" value="submit" />

 Your sale prediction is {{ prediction }}

A: It looks like the part of JS saving and setting selected option is wrong. You always store and set"tops" which is value of select element itself not selected option.
Try storing selected item index instead:
//check if there's an old selection by the user:
if (sessionStorage.getItem("selectedOption")) {
  //to set the selected value:
  var select = document.getElementById("mySelect");
  select.selectedIndex = sessionStorage.getItem("selectedOption"); // set index of selected element
}

//this will set the value to sessionStorage only when user clicks submit
document.getElementById("selling_form").addEventListener("submit", () => {
  //to get the selected value:
  var select = document.getElementById("mySelect");
  sessionStorage.setItem("selectedOption", select.selectedIndex); // store index of selected element
});

You want to know how to be happy, do you?
A seeker, huh? Pursuer of that golden blessed state we all crave.
This isn't going to be easy for you to hear, so I'm giving you a chance to walk away.
Okay you asked for it.
If you want to be happy, you have to realize that you are going to die.
You're dying right now, in fact.
Maybe at the base of your skull?
Those are Death's cold and grasping fingers, just making sure he knows where you are.
And someday that bony hand is going to close over yours.
Whoa, you okay, buddy? Need to sit down a minute?
So, now that you get that, what is there?
Heart thumping in your chest, maybe next to the heart of another, if you are very very lucky.
There's the way the sun kisses the clouds before it wakes up for the day; the moon rising to say good night to Brother Sun and they both hang in the sky for a few minutes.
Your cat's tufty ears and her whiskers brushing your arm in the morning; your dog's slobber when you come home.
Sheets fresh from the clothes line in spring; underwear fresh from the dryer on a winter's day.
The smell of the earth after a rain; dew on the grass.
The silent sound that snow makes, muffling the world, softening it.
Hot chocolate and children's voices calling out to home from the sledding hill.
You can still have all of these things, but you have to appreciate each of them as they come.
And if you are very very brave.


A sensitive, dewy-eyed yet mature performance by Saoirse Ronan is the appealing centerpiece of Brooklyn, a beautifully calibrated film by Ireland's John Crowley that is, on the surface, about a young immigrant adjusting to a strange and challenging new land. But it's such a wise and thoughtful film about coming of age, learning to accept responsibility and falling in love that it triumphs on several levels at the same time. Already one of this year's darlings on the festival circuit, Brooklyn now arrives on commercial marquees in time for the holiday season, when good films open at last. Let the applause begin.
I've been an admirer of Ms. Ronan's wistful brand of movie magic ever since she was Oscar-nominated as the precocious 13-year-old who destroyed her older sister's life in Atonement. I followed her with enthusiasm through How I Live Now, The Grand Budapest Hotel and the disappointing thriller The Lovely Bones. She even captivated me as the most human teenage vampire in movie history in Neil Jordan's chilling Byzantium. A teenager no more, she has now blossomed into such an enchanting young woman in Brooklyn that you can't take your eyes off her. Next, she will appear as Nina in a new film version of Chekhov's The Seagull, and on Broadway in a revival of Arthur Miller's The Crucible. Talk about a career in full cruise control.
The only thing wrong with Saoirse Ronan is her name, which nobody can pronounce. Born in the Bronx in 1994 to Irish parents who raised her in Ireland, she's got a name to reckon with. It is nothing like the spelling, so forget about phonetics. You pronounce it "Ser-sha." Repeat 10 times, and don't forget it. You will certainly remember her acting. At 21, she invades your senses and stays there.
Soon Ellis is eating pasta without making a mess, discovering Ebbets Field, exploring Coney Island in her first bathing suit.
In Brooklyn, an adaptation of the celebrated novel by Colm Toibin, she plays soft-spoken Ellis Lacey, who makes a long and arduous journey to America seeking opportunities unavailable to girls in postwar Ireland when her family arranges a trip under the guidance of a friendly Irish priest (Jim Broadbent) in Brooklyn. Studying bookkeeping at Brooklyn College while working in a department store, Ellis (pronounced "Aylish") lives in a boarding house run by a strict and harsh immigrant landlady (the great Julie Walters) and struggles to find her way, homesick and miserable.
Things change when she meets Tony, a shy, handsome Italian-American boy who becomes quickly besotted (a wonderful, warm and deeply touching performance by Emory Cohen). Tony's passion for life and a future with no boundaries is contagious; soon Ellis is eating pasta without making a mess, discovering Ebbets Field and the Brooklyn Dodgers, exploring Coney Island in her first bathing suit, sharing Tony's plans to build a new house and talking about marriage.
When a family tragedy leads her back to Ireland to bury her older sister Rose, she uses what she learned in Brooklyn to pay for her expenses by taking a job in an accounting firm. Facing the mounting pressure of caring for an ailing mother and finding new romance with a dashing swain from an upper-class family (Domhnall Gleeson), she finds her priorities changing and gradually loses interest in Tony's love letters. The film is about two different worlds with different possibilities for happiness and how Ellis learns to choose between them. The themes are change, transition and coming of age with intelligence and courage.
Brooklyn is an elegant testament to the dream of first experience, relatable to everyone, regardless of where you're from—elevated to no small degree by the blue emerald eyes and creamy complexion of its star, who is not only going places but in so many ways, has already arrived.


Here is the problem Let f be differentiable on (0,infinity) if the limit as x approaches infinity f'(x) f(x) both exist are finite prove that limit as x approaches infitity f'(x)=0.
I have trouble proving this problem I was told to use Mean Value Theorem to find a contridiction. However, I have not seen how to use the MVT when we are dealing with infinity any hints?
If the limit of f'(x) was not zero, then what would f(x) look like for large x?
We'll you see, if the gradient was anything other than an infinitesimal, then the limit as it approaches infinity will not converge and not be finite. Hopefully this helps.
Now let [itex]x \rightarrow \infty[/itex]. What happens?

The Lieutenants of the Harkesh Guard are both seasoned war veterans and heroes who have distinguished themselves in battle in at least one of the Mharoti campaigns. Their usual weapon of choice is the greatsword, which they wield to great effect when necessary.
All Harkesh Lieutenants of the dragonkin type are of the Edjet class and chosed for both their strength and charisma. They are all seasoned campaign veterans who have been highly honoured in battle. They usually wear magical chainmail and wield a magical greatsword. Just like the swords of the Guardsmen, unlawful ownership of these weapons is punishable by death. Lieutenants can be male or female but are usually female.
They are usually of the blue variety, meaning that they have DR 7 v lightning and are able to employ a Lightning Breath weapon in addition to their melee attack when in FULL ATTACK mode. There are also red and gold fire variants, as well as some black and green acid variants. They will usually always be devout fanatical devotees of Azuran.
They are highly specialized in the use of their weapons and will always follow their orders to the letter.

About three miles long, it used to connect two other county roads, but was discarded when the government created an easier route. From what I've gathered, the locals primarily use it to go "mudding" or hunting on other people's land. When my wife and I visit West Virginia, we love to hike up there and let our dog run.
Revision has always been the toughest stage of my writing process. So much can go wrong when making changes. Yet, on the other hand, something really wonderful can happen if you persevere.
Recommend a book for us, which was published within the last decade.
There are so many books I would recommend! I think David Shumate is wildly underrated. Check out his latest book, Kimonos in the Closet.
If you could have a drink with any living writer, who would it be? Why?
For those who've heard Benjamin Percy speak, I think he may have the deepest voice of any fiction writer. I'm curious to see him do karaoke—does drinking make that voice go higher or lower? Also, I really agree with his tenets of fiction writing, which serve one goal: thrill the reader. I imagine this goal, if applied to drinking, could make for an interesting night.
I grew up on a llama and alpaca farm in Kentucky, which I think is a unique experience. Over the next couple of years, I'd like to write more about how these creatures have shaped me. Also, I've been tinkering with a poetry chapbook–would love to find a home for it.
Our thanks to Daniel for taking the time to answer a few questions and share her his. Read "Brush Fire," "Watching the Glassmakers," and "Decommissioned County Road" here: www.sequestrum.org/poetry-by-daniel-lassell.
Daniel Lassell is the winner of a William J. Maier Writing Award and runner-up for the 2016 Bermuda Triangle Prize.

Guiding an association's leap into the digital-first world
Launch a successful digital platform to meet member, stakeholder and advertising demands
Leverage a cross-channel approach – using print, digital and social media in an integrated and united manner to maximise impact
Broadening the content scope of Australian Pharmacist beyond continuing professional development and educational content while retaining existing members
Increase engagement with early career pharmacists and non-members
Provide advice and support on advertising strategy
For decades, the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia (PSA) has strived to improve their industry by providing continuing professional development. A key part of these educational efforts has been its monthly journal, Australian Pharmacist, which has been a trusted source of information for pharmacists for more than 30 years.
But while the challenges and opportunities facing pharmacy have shifted significantly in recent years, the journal had not. With almost three-quarters of pharmacists aged under 44, this meant the journal risked losing touch.
In fact, PSA data showed that engagement with Australian Pharmacist's educational content had almost halved since 2012.
Mahlab created a content strategy that aligned with PSA's broader strategic goals, based on the results of readership and advertising research.
Young pharmacists indicated they would like to engage with the publication digitally and on social media. Two-thirds of members and non-members aged between 18 and 29 agreed that they would like Australian Pharmacist to be more accessible online.
As for the content, the theme of value recurred again and again during our research. We developed audience personas that would ensure that content remained relevant to the industry as a whole while also offering strong relevance to young pharmacists, as well as introducing new content pillars to shape future content.
We also developed cross-channel advertising packages to maximise revenue and reach more people.
We launched the digital content hub for Australian Pharmacist alongside a redesigned print journal and email newsletters this April.
Pharmacists can now access up-to-date and relevant content year-round through a mix of channels.
The average time on page per article is 3:15 – a testament to the audience being engaged with the content.
