How useful to you was the textbook Psychology, 8th Edition by Gleitman, Gross, & Reisberg?
Do you have any comments or suggestions about the course?
It would be great if copy from prior quarters said WHICH quarter it was (F17, etc.).
"Just wanted to come and say thanks for all your guys support and everything."
Over the next few weeks collectors will be putting millions of rare and valuable coins back into circulation. Some of the coins will be worth several hundred dollars.
As far as I’m concerned it’s still a state tournament.
It’s all but a done deal that the state title game in most high school sports in Nevada will be a North-South matchup, beginning in 2003-2004. The new format will effectively end how state tournaments in the various sports are now conducted.
This will be the last year in which multiple teams from the Northern and Southern regions will advance to a state tournament in all classes — 1A, 2A, 3A and 4A.
The new format has been discussed by the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association Board and will be discussed again at the board’s meeting in December. The board is expected to approve the new format for 2003-2004 at its February meeting.
Beginning next year, one team from the Northern region playoffs and one team from the Southern region playoffs will advance to the state title game.
The reason is simple: It’s just not cost-effective for school districts, particularly the Washoe and Clark County districts, to send multiple teams to a state tournament.
The only drawback is that not as many students will realize the experience of a state tournament. “That’s a tough compromise,” Nelson said.
Psychologically, yes. But as far as I’m concerned, any team that makes the regional playoffs in the North or South will be playing in the state playoffs.
“That does fall under the umbrella of a state tournament,” Nelson said.
The format that Nevada is adopting is similar to the format in California. The state tournament is divided into Northern and Southern Regional playoffs with the winner of each region playing for the state title. In California, any school that advances to the playoffs considers itself to be playing in a state tournament...
It’s likely that a true Northern 4A title football game that’s a state semifinal contest would actually be a bigger financial success than the state championship game. In 2000, the Wooster-McQueen state title game drew 10,000 fans, the largest in memory for a state championship game. Last year’s McQueen-Las Vegas state...
On another note, it’s still unknown if the state title game on Dec. 7 will be held at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. If not, it will be held at a Las Vegas-area site.
In 2004, the baseball and softball state titles would be decided by a best 2-of-3 series between the Northern and Southern champions.
The state events for swimming, track, golf and cross country would also be scaled back in 2003-2004. In the 4A division, only the top three in each event from the three regions would advance to the state championships in swimming and track. The top five now advance.
In 4A cross country and golf, the number of teams advancing to the state event from each region would be reduced from three to two. The number of individuals not on qualifying teams to advance to state would remain at the top five in each sport, although that’s not set in stone, Nelson said.
As far as realignment is concerned, the four divisions will essentially remain in tact for football, beginning in 2004-2005, Nelson said. But Nelson said the NIAA is looking at scaling back to three divisions in all other sports, beginning in 2004-2005. The NIAA board will also vote on that proposal in February.
The divisions would look something like 0-350 students for 1A, 351-1,200 students for 2A and above 1,200 for 3A, Nelson said.
It’s been written in this popcorn stand before that the NIAA should look at dividing the divisions so a school that has less than 500 students wouldn’t have to face the school the size of 1,200 students.
But upon further review, there are simply not enough schools between the size of 500-1,000 students that could make up their own division. “We’re a very unique state,” Nelson said.
There are also always going to be schools like Lowry, which may be considered a little too large for 3A, but certainly not big enough for 4A. As it stands now, there are only 13 schools in the state’s 3A division.
A corporal who had served in Afghanistan and a private first class who had joined the Army in 2018 were identified as the two Fort Bliss soldiers killed in a Tuesday evening training incident.
The 1st Armored Division soldiers, Cpl. Cole Trevor Wixom and Pfc. Jamie R. Riley, died as a result of a crash between two Stryker vehicles at McGregor Range in Otero County, New Mexico. Seven other soldiers were injured in the collision and are being treated.
Wixom and Riley were assigned to 1st Battalion, 36th Infantry Regiment, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team.
"It is with an incredibly heavy heart that we announce the unfortunate loss of two of our Ready First soldiers and injuries to several others in a tragic event that occurred Tuesday evening,” Col. Michael J. Trotter, commander of the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, said in a news release. “We honor them by remembering...
The incident is still under investigation, the Army said.
Wixom, 24, of Bloomingdale, Michigan, was an infantryman who joined the Army in August 2016 and arrived to Fort Bliss in December of 2016. He was deployed to Afghanistan from January to September 2017, and his honors included the Army Commendation Medal with C device, which is earned for service during combat; Joint Se...
Riley, 21, of Fair Haven, New Jersey, served as a cavalry scout and joined the Army in January 2018. He arrived at Fort Bliss in June 2018. His awards and decorations include the National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Army Service Ribbon and Air Assault badge.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this post misstated one of North Korea's unique scoring rules. Scores within the last three seconds, not minutes, count for eight points. The corrected version is below.
As we (re)learned last week, North Korea has its own way of scoring basketball games. Normally when North Korea does something differently from the rest of the world, it's horrible and ends up with thousands starving. But this one is kind of funny!
Dunks count for three points.
So called "three-pointers" that don't touch the rim are worth four points.
Baskets within the last three seconds of the game count for eight points.
You lose a point for missed free throws.
It should be obvious how insane and game-altering these scoring changes are, particularly the last two. Rule No. 4 makes most players susceptible to hack-a-shaq tactics, and smart teams would foul as much as their bench depth would allow. The combination of Rules 3 and 4 would make it pretty much inexcusable not to fou...
There is some vagueness to these rules, so I made some assumptions. First, I assumed that these "bonuses" did not stack: in the last three seconds a layup, a dunk, or a three would all be worth eight points. I also assumed that the spirit of Rule No. 2 would credit essentially perfect three-pointers (like the one Steph...
An already close matchup turns heartbreaking for the Pistons, as Joe Dumars nails a meaningless eight-pointer at the buzzer with the Pistons down by nine. The Celtics wisely did not risk the nine-point play by contesting. Larry Bird had a legendary game with 38 points (37 standard scoring), while Dumars added 35 points...
In real life, Michael Jordan put up 44 points in one of the best games of his early career, but his score in the last three seconds (+6 points over the standard two), three-point swish in the third (+1 point), and four missed free throws (-4 points) brought his North Korean total to 47. No dunks for Air Jordan this gam...
By this scoring, the Bulls were down by seven when Jordan got the ball. While the Cavs obviously should have fouled, this would make "The Shot" the greatest thing that ever happened.
I chose to ignore the fact that this game wouldn't have gone into overtime with North Korean scoring, because that would be boring and those last five minutes are what make it a classic.
Finally, the winners switch! Neither team netted a shot in the last three seconds (regular or overtime), but the Pacers added three dunks (+3), eight swishes (+8), and missed only four free throws (-4) to add seven bonus points, while the Lakers gained just one thanks to ten missed free throws. In real life Reggie Mill...
Running time; 134 minutes. Rated R (drug use, violence). At the Lincoln Square, the E-Walk and the Sunshine.
It’s too bad the film — based on a true story — embarrasses itself with that fatuous scramble for sociopolitical significance, because as a character study “Foxcatcher” is mesmerizing, eerie and unpredictably weird. Entombed in makeup and a toucan nose, Steve Carell is a marvel as John E. du Pont, an eccentric heir fro...
Into this strange, meticulous, airless haven — you may be reminded of the mansion from “Sunset Boulevard,” or maybe the motel from “Psycho” — du Pont welcomed among others a broke Olympic gold medalist named Mark Schultz (a perfectly cast Channing Tatum), who early in the movie is shown lecturing to schoolchildren for ...
Du Pont keeps asking Mark when David is going to move in to Foxcatcher to complete his Justice League-like collection of talent, but David is happy where he is and uninterested in du Pont’s open checkbook. The plutocrat’s icy mother (Vanessa Redgrave, imperious even by her standards) thinks her boy’s hobby is bizarre b...
The heart of the movie is the chilly, woozy, mistrustful relationship between Mark and du Pont, the details of which the director leaves somewhat fuzzy. Miller, as he did in “Capote,” proves a master of subtext and foreboding atmosphere, a superb director of actors who resists explaining what you should think (except i...
Sure they do. Du Pont might as well say that he is big; It’s American industrial aristocracy that got small. He is too odd a figure to tell us much about his country, but the way du Pont is imprisoned by fortune and breeding — he might relate to the world a little better if only he had a reason to get out of the house ...
Fall is the season for posting apple-picking photos on Instagram, enjoying pumpkin spice-flavored everything, and spending weekends enjoying the autumn scenery. Just peek out your window—whether you live in Boston, MA, or own a piece of Atlanta, GA, real estate — the cooler temps and changing leaves are hard to resist....
“Enjoying the weather can put you in a great state of mind and allow you to focus on the task at hand — and do it well. Beyond that, most building materials are at their best when they are installed at moderate temps,” says Phil Eby of Eby Exteriors in Akron, PA. Plus, contractors typically have fewer projects during t...
Hands down, the easiest exterior project is also the one that reaps the biggest rewards. A freshly painted front door helps your home stand out from the block, and it can be finished in less than an afternoon. Fall is usually the perfect time for this activity; just pick that afternoon wisely. “Normally, exterior paint...
If your exterior paint job is in decent shape, a few touch-ups could suffice. But for those with chipping paint or a 1970s color scheme? Call the pros immediately. “The last thing you want is to scare buyers away before they even get inside,” says Than Merrill, former host of A&E’s Flip This House and CEO of FortuneBui...
“The peace of mind offered by a functionally sound roof is invaluable to its respective occupants and is weighed heavily by those intent on making a purchase,” Merrill says. A new roof can be basic or with details that enhance curb appeal, but its main value comes from instilling confidence in a prospective buyer. This...
The ROI for this project can vary based on just how dirty your home was before the wash. If the home was merely a little dirty, the ROI may not be as great as it is for one that will look almost new after the wash. If your home falls into the latter category, it can be worth it to hire a pro. “The ROI could be 100% or ...
Windows can be hit-or-miss investments, mainly because they are expensive to replace and almost invisible to buyers. “It’s been my experience that unless the windows are damaged or so poorly insulated that your utility bills are sky-high, most buyers don’t consider windows to be a major deciding factor,” says Wingfield...
This project ranks as one with the lowest payoff, simply because current buyers have come to expect all homes have central air. An upgrade isn’t a selling point unless the system was old to begin with. “If your existing system has been in place for more than 10 to 15 years, it’s likely that you’ll soon need a new one. ...
Here, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. “While you may need to wait for inclement weather to realize your return on investment, a mere 30 minutes of routine rain gutter maintenance could prevent thousands of dollars in damage to the foundation of a home,” Merrill says. If you outsource this chore, expect...

Montenegrin Prime Minister Milo Djukanovic said on Tuesday that he felt secure and insisted there was no need to “spread panic among the people” despite the Belgrade authorities’ arrest of alleged Serbian plotters against him.
Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said on Monday that the Belgrade authorities have arrested several people who were following Djukanovic and planning illegal activities in Montenegro, but insisted they had no connection to the Serbian state.
Vucic said the people arrested in Serbia following the alleged attempted coup in Montenegro during its recent elections had nothing to do with politicians in either country, but had connections to a third country.
Djukanovic said the investigation in Serbia into the alleged coup plot confirmed what his ruling Democratic Party Socialist said during the election campaign, prior to and on election day on October 16 – that there was a plot to undermine security in the country.
He also claimed that foreigners were involved in the alleged plot.
“We have the strong involvement of foreign factors when it comes to the process of Montenegro’s parliamentary elections,” he said.
He said there were suspicions that “illegal money and methods that are beyond all regulations and outside of any legal system” had been used in the alleged plot.
Djukanovic echoed Vucic in saying that “so far there is no clear evidence” that any political parties were involved.
But he also said that it would be a coincidence if the plotters, who allegedly planned to seize parliament on election day and shoot at people, had nothing to do with the Democratic Front, a pro-Russian political alliance in Montenegro which is his main political opponent.
“This is political logic, but it needs time to get things legally prosecuted because it is a process that does not end in a day or in two or three,” he said.
Serbian PM Vucic said that while investigating the alleged plotters, police had seized uniforms and 125,000 euros, among other things, and informed the Special Prosecution in Montenegro.
On the day of the general election in Montenegro on October 16, a former of the Serbian Gendarmerie commander, Bratislav Dikic, was arrested and accused of planning the alleged coup.
The Montenegrin Prosecutor’s Office said last week that it had “reasonable suspicion” that a criminal organisation had been formed in Serbia and Montenegro with a plan to attack the police in front of the parliament once the results of Sunday’s election were announced, before taking over the assembly and declaring that...
However, Dikic said on Monday that a Montenegrin policeman had “planted evidence” on him – a phone and keys to a warehouse containing weapons.
As is often the case with trailers for films released by A24, this trailer is less about telling you what It Comes at Night is actually about and more about selling a creepy, unsettling mood, punctuated by disconcerting imagery and dialogue that suggests something really bad is going on.
A man (Joel Edgerton) learns that the evil stalking his family home may be only a prelude to horrors that come from within.
Shults broke on to the scene with 2015’s domestic drama Krisha, a micr0-budget feature about a Thanksgiving drama gone horribly wrong starring mostly members of his own family. The surprise success of that film led to him establishing a relationship with A24, which led to the existence of It Comes at Night. I’m very cu...
It Comes at Night arrives on August 25, 2017. You can check out the first poster (which is so simple and yet so disconcerting) below.
It’s been a rough patch recently for the liberal arts and small colleges. Students are fleeing the humanities, foreign language programs are disappearing, and a spate of small, private colleges are shuttering their doors or courting merger partners, no longer able to make ends meet. So a recent survey of currently enro...
Impressive in its magnitude, the survey asked more than 32,000 undergraduates at 43 randomly selected colleges and universities about the extent to which they experienced positive relationships and support from faculty, experiences correlated with students' confidence they will have successful careers and productive li...
They had professors who cared about them as persons.
They had at least one professor who made them excited about learning.
They had a mentor who encouraged them to pursue their goals and dreams.
The most striking result? Students majoring in the liberal arts (languages, literature, history, philosophy and the creative arts) were significantly more likely than those majoring in business, science and engineering, or the social sciences to strongly agree with each of the three items. For example, 73% of liberal a...
Liberal arts students were much more likely to strongly agree with all three items (22%) compared to those in social sciences (15%), business (13%) and science and engineering (12%).
Students' perceptions of supportive relationships with faculty and mentors did not vary to any great degree by gender, racial/ethnic background, or whether they were first-generation students. However, among just the liberal arts majors, 43% of white students strongly agreed that their professors cared about them as pe...
The same survey also revealed significant differences in students' views of professors and mentors, depending on the size of institution attended. Most notably, 45% of students at colleges with fewer than 5,000 students strongly agreed that their professors cared about them as people, compared to 24% of those at instit...
What might account for the better showing of the liberal arts and smaller institutions? One possibility is the smaller class sizes encountered in the humanities and at smaller schools affords greater opportunity for closer faculty-student relationships. Another possibility might be that faculty in the liberal arts hold...
Although the results suggest advantages that the liberal arts and smaller colleges can capitalize on, they also give reason for real concerns for everyone involved in higher education. Regardless of major or size of college attended, the majority of students indicated they did not strongly agree that they encountered p...
Are colleges losing their spark, their ability to inspire? Are the turns toward larger classes, distance learning and more adjuncts reducing the close connections with faculty most likely to kindle student interest and achievement? Even as we celebrate the good news of the Gallup/Strada study, we should also heed its w...
LP actually lives in Aledo with his wife and their two children. He also is a member of Colonial Country Club and is known to join a foursome for a round every so often in the offseason. Word is he is a beast of a golfer.
LP is the rarest of football breeds - he’s the specialist whose skills are so rare it can often out outlast a kicker or a punter. L.P. has been with the Cowboys since 2005 and has played in 179 consecutive games. He actually made the Pro Bowl in 2014.
All of this from a guy who grew up in Canada and did not begin to play football until he was 14.
He recently signed a five-year contract. That is the second time he has signed a five-year contract. Do you know how rare it is for an NFL player to sign multiple long term deals, and actually play long enough to see the end of them?
