[Russell Preston Brown in...] The Russell Brown Show, Power Tips] Recently, one of my viewers posed a very interesting question to me. They said, "How can I place text, live text, that I can edit directly on to the surface of a 3D object and have it distort to the contours of that 3D shape?" Well, the answer is yes, but, of course, I'm going to take it one step farther, because this is The Russell Brown Show, and I want to show you, in this project, how to take the word water, in this case, and have it distort over the shape of this water drop. Of course, we're going to do all of this inside of Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended. Let's get started. Now in this particular case, of course, this 2D image is an RGB image. If we look over here to the channels tabbed panel, you can see the grayscale images that make up these RGB values, the red, green, and blue. Now I happen to know that in CS4 Extended under the 3D menu, you can take a grayscale image and turn it into a 3-D mesh. So we're going to create a 3D object from a grayscale image. It just so happens that in this particular project, that the red channel has the contrast that I need for this 3D shape. So as you look at this image, the areas that are dark will go away from you and down into the valleys. The areas that are light will come toward you. It's going to create a mountain range, a 3D mountain range, based upon the grayscale values. We're going to use the red channel to create this 3D surface. So step number one, I'm going to do a select-all command A on the Macintosh or control A on the PC. Notice that I'm targeting the red channel. That was my best choice for this project. I'm then going to copy it, command C on the Macintosh or control C on the PC. I click here at the top on my RGB image. I go back to my layers tab panel and I only have one layer, but if I do a paste right into this, command V or control V, I've pasted a new layer, a copy of the red channel. So I have my original down below and my copy. It's this grayscale channel that we're going to turn into a 3D shape, and it's this 3D shape that the text will distort over. Here we go. The next step is very important. I happen to know that when you turn a grayscale image into a 3D shape, it tends to distort the image and you need more canvas area in order to not have this distortion change the size of the image. Watch this. I'm going up here to the image menu and down to canvas size. I want to expand the canvas size, in this case, to 14 inches x 14 inches. Of course, that will be different on your image. I'm just adding about 1-2 inches all the way around. Also notice, it is a layered image, and it's not a background. So when I click okay, I have transparency around the image. 24 Okay, are you with me so far? Did I say this was complex? Yes, it is. So what do we got? We've got grayscale on top and the color on the bottom. We've expanded the canvas so that there's no distortion that happens when I convert. I target layer number one. I go to my 3D menu and down to new mesh from grayscale and create a plane. It's now going to convert these grayscale values into depth, and this depth we can use to distort our text. There it is. Notice that if I change the opacity down, you can see that it directly matches the image below because I added that extra canvas around the edge. Now I'm going to go over here and select this tool right here, the 3D rotate tool. I'm going to rotate this slightly so that you can see the height that's actually taking place within this mountain range. I'm going to leave it right there so we can see this because I'm going to show you a tip and technique that is really, really great. Because when you're working on a 3D project like this, you want to be able to adjust the depth of this distortion. The grayscale values initially set the depth, but you want to be able take these mountain ranges and move them down or up based upon some values we can set. And, of course, over here in my layers tab panel, the depth map is being controlled by this image right here, layer one depth. The image where we're going to place our text is layer one, right here. But we're going to get to that in a minute. Let's talk about this great, super-user tip and technique for adjusting the contours of this 3D shape. I'm going to go over here once again to my tool panel, click and hold on these 3D tools, and go down to the 3D scale tool, very important. Select the 3D scale tool. Then up here in the options bar you have an X, Y, and Z. Here it is today. The secret to success is the Y value, right here. I'm clicking and holding on the letter Y. I can then move to the left, let go, and, in this case, I've dropped the value down. And wait for a moment. So this .33 value has put in less distortion. Can I go the other way? Take this up to 1.82. It's calculating now, and then it will reset this, and we'll now have a much higher distortion. Check that out. So we're distorting these ranges so you have the control with this setting to adjust how much distortion takes place when you place the text onto this 3D shape. Okay, let's go back in time, here. And go back to where the images are aligned right here. Let's now apply the text. To do that, I'm going to go over to this layer right here, layer number one. This is the diffuse layer. The diffuse layer is where you want to put your graphics. I'm going to double-click on layer number one right here. It opens up a new layer, as you see here. This is the image that is being applied to my 3D shape. Of course, it's a copy of the grayscale image. We don't really want that anymore, but we're going to use it temporarily to position our text. I'm going to select my text tool. I'm going to center my text right in here, make a click, and type in Water. I've set this in, hit my enter key, and I've placed my text down. Of course, I can use my move tool and adjust the position over the water, and that's why I left this original water image here just temporarily while I positioned this. Then I can turn off layer number one. So now, like a smart object, I'm going to close this here, right at the top. Close this document, but save it. I'm going to save this document into this 3D shape. Wait for it. There it is. Wow! But there's more. Because this is the Russell Brown show, we need to make this look more realistic. Let's start by using our layer styles to adjust how the text is fading within this image. So with this layer number one targeted, I go up here into this blank, blue space and I double-click. This is one of my favorite tips and techniques. When working with images and combining them together, it's to use the blend-if modes. In this case, the underline layer is what I want to work on. I'm clicking on the highlights. I want the highlights from the ripple to show through the text. If I move the highlight slider to the left, you can see that it starts to open up here and let the light through and it eliminates the text. But we want to see the text, so you hold down the option or alt key and split this triangle into two pieces. The farther I move this second piece away, the softer the transition. So I then balance the two sliders until the text starts to bend over the highlights in this image. Check it out right here. You see that I have a faded region of the text as it comes into the highlight, and it gets darker in the shadows. Cool. Now on destructive, we click okay. We know we can go back and adjust that later. Now, for our grand finale. What did we learn earlier? We can adjust how much distortion there is by adjusting the 3D depth. How did we do that? We went over to our tools, and we selected this scale tool. We, of course, target our 3D layer number one. With the scale tool selected, you can adjust the Y value for this particular layer. And in this case, the distortion is a little bit too extreme. I'm going to go down a bit. Let's try .68, right here. Let's wait for it. And there it is. Okay, just to finish this off, because I don't like this additional canvas around the edge, under the image menu, I'm going down to trim and I'm going to trim all the way around and click okay. And, of course, if I were to double-click on layer number one, once again, I can open up the text, change it, then of course save it, and it will then apply directly onto the same 3D image. So there it is, the super-advanced way to place live text onto a 3D shape. Give it a try. [tv.adobe.com]

Previously on Pretty Little Liars, A sucked out Emily's brain through her ears while she was asleep and replaced it with a new lame brain wired to give up on all the best things in life, including swimming and puffy drapes and Paige McCullers. Hanna descended further down the rabbit hole of absolute madness when Veronica was forced to recuse herself as Ashley's lawyer because of an ineffective little Radley tantrum she threw at Mona. Spencer and Toby got into the weirdest, sex-destroying role playing situation ever when she pretended to be his dead mom to trick a deranged former psychiatrist into spilling the details of Marion's maybe-murder. And Aria sat around soaking up all the awesomeness of the world while eating vegan burritos with Kung Fu Jake.
Well, Cece is the supervillain now. Spencer has decreed it; thus it is so. She's been wearing a Red Coat and living under the DiLaurentis' front porch and flying planes and setting lodges aflame and staring up Emily's skirt, all as punishment because the Liars were girls with Ali when she broke that sorority sister's neck at Ian's frat party and got Cece kicked out of college. Emily's ready to pack up her shit and move literally anywhere else, but is willing to shelve her peeper creeper problems for the moment so Hanna can meltdown some more about how her mom doesn't have a lawyer.
But the Liars even have to pause that conversation because Lt. Tanner swaggers right into the Rosewood High Courtyard to mess with them, all, "Emily, hey there. How's homelessness working out for you? Actually, oddly enough, I was just over at the wreckage of your house picking through the rubble and I found one of the swamp shoes someone was wearing down at Face Lake the night someone murdered Detective Wilden. Isn't that crazy, Hanna? Basically, we just do Reverse Cinderella Ballistics now, and then it's off to the electric chair with someone." Lt. Tanner waltzes out of there with a song in her heart, Hanna punches a hole through the table, and Spencer decides it's time to offer up Cece as a suspect in Wilden's murder investigation.
How is she going to put Cece on Tanner's radar? Duh, she's just going to lead an expedition to that crawl space under the DiLaurentis' porch where Cece has obviously been living and sleeping and eating canned beans from Uncle Jaime's Bean Farm while wearing masks of everybody's faces, just interchanging them at her leisure like she and Ali used to do with their souls. Wearing a mask of Emily's face, staring up through those kitchen holes at Emily's hooha. The only problem is getting Ms. D out of the house long enough for them to conduct a thorough investigation. The task of keeping her occupied falls to Hanna. All she has to do is let Ms. D take her shopping. Hanna's like, "Sure, OK. My life isn't already enough of a shitshow. Let me just go try on dresses and see how many times Ali's mom calls me 'Hefty.' That'll be a balm to my blossoming PTSD, I'm sure."
None of the Liars bother to ask Spencer what she hopes to find in that crawlspace to implicate Cece, or how whatever they find could be more convincing than Ashley's fingerprints on the bullets inside the gun that shot Wilden in the face. Partly they're just so strung out on evidence overload at this point, who even knows. But also the word "hoedown" gets bandied about, and so obviously they divert their attention to that impending glory. After the Liars break — Spencer to give it one last go at trying to care about Toby's dead mom — Hanna bursts into tears and falls against the soda machine and then realizes some random guy is peeking at her from around the corner like a cartoon Spy vs. Spy kind of guy, so she wraps her Barbie blazer around her tightly and stomps off, glaring at him the whole way.

I changed my first diaper the day after my daughter was born. And my wife still teases me about it. Because when my wife went to pick up our daughter with her fresh, daddy-installed diaper, the diaper promptly slid down the baby's legs, jumped off the end of her toes and landed with a thud on the hospital floor.
My second diaper change came at 3:00 a.m. the following morning. Having a new focus on achieving a proper fit, I struggled to even find a diaper in the dark of night and proceeded to get myself soaked in pee in the process. At this point I felt like I needed 4 extra hands and x-ray vision.
As much as I thought I was prepared, I wasn't prepared for this. I wondered how parents did it. I found myself suddenly admiring all of my friends who were parents – they must be geniuses.
It turns out that being prepared makes a huge difference in the diaper changing experience. Yes, we had a changing table but we were missing a valuable tool – a diaper stacker. Diaper stackers are like an umbrella on a rainy day, like a flashlight during a black-out. A well placed diaper stacker can be the difference between a minor emergency and a full blown hazmat style disaster.
In keeping with our nursery theme, we chose the Pink Paisley Diaper Stacker. It matches the pink elements of our daughter's nursery and also coordinates with the yellow wall paint.
Depending on whether you are using newborn size disposable diapers or larger cloth diapers, the diaper stackers offered by Carousel Designs hold 25-50 diapers. And they are available in dozens of colors and patterns to match any nursery design. Most importantly, they will be there when you need them most.

I'm about to do something that is going to hurt us both. I'm sorry for doing it, but if I don't, it'll get worse and fester and eventually form an outgrowth that will poke holes in both of our faces AT THE SAME TIME! I'm going to defend Chris Bosh. I'm not going to spend a lot of time doing it and I'm not going to like myself immediately afterward. Shaquille O'Neal debuted in his new role as hoops pundit on Tuesday and took the opportunity to do exactly what we all knew he'd do: attempt to outdo Charles Barkley by not only saying whatever enters his brain, but only genuinely believing half of what he says. Episode 1 featured O'Neal referring to the Heat as "The Big 2." Never mind that ridiculing "The Big 3" is so December of 2010, at what point do Bosh critics have to admit that either they were a) wrong about his first seven seasons when he was widely considered one of the five best PFs in the league or b) still just pissed how things went down last summer? Bosh had an off year. He did. It was his statistically worst year since 2004-05 and he still ended with a 19/8/2 season average. Was he soft during the regular season? Unreliable and poor on defense in the Finals? Yes and yes. But that's not what O'Neal implied and it now matters more than ever what O'Neal implies because people will now look to him for his opinion on this stuff. Don't get it twisted, the Heat made it to Game 6 of the Finals in part because of Bosh, not in spite of him. No one ever claimed Bosh was the biggest of the three, nor did anyone believe he'd maintain hisToronto production inMiami. But a 19/8/2 "third wheel" who will almost certainly improve in 2011-12 still makes them The Big 3, nothing less. Now, I'm gonna go shower and hope this Bosh love doesn't give me gangrene.
If you scroll down, you'll see more fantasy basketball words!
Rudy Fernandez – RuFer is the favorite to start at SG for the Mavericks, or as coach Carlisle said, Fernandez "would seem the top candidate to start." The NBA quickly pounced from the shadows, kidney-punched him twice, ripped his back pants pockets and stole his left loafer before disappearing quicker than a puddle in the desert. That'll teach Rick Carlisle to publicly mention players during a lockout. Also, it will teach him to wear shoes that slip off so easily. Also 2: Electric Boogaloo, it will apparently not teach anyone on the Mavericks from projecting their probable starting candidates as Rodrigue Beaubois has fallen far on the depth chart, and he was the future of this franchise 11 months ago.
Mickael Pietrus – Had some loose cartilage removed from his knee this week, but should be okay for the start of the season next March. Never having had loose cartilage removed from my own body, I'm imagining a bunch of floppy, wet tissue hanging on the outside of his knee like a turkey neck. That's probably an inaccurate depiction.
Gerald Henderson – At the top (front?) of the depth chart at Charlotte's SG position. This is kinda like when the Secretary of the Treasury takes over as president after five other outranking officials get taken out.
Mario Chalmers – The Heat "has grown comfortable with the idea of Chalmers starting." Don't write home about it, they can't afford anyone better.
Lamar Odom – Remember that part in Driving Miss Daisy when Jessica Tandy was on her way to a funeral and Morgan Freeman hit a biker and killed a pedestrian? Really? 'Cause I was hoping that scene existed and that Tandy maintained her 14/9/3 average anyway.
Evan Turner – Shot specialist Herb Magee said that Turner shoots the ball essentially with both hands and that his 3-point shot is going to "take a while." Not the same way Kevin Martin's three-point shot takes a while to go from the side of his hip to over his head; Magee meant it more like the way chunky people with a half-dozen plastic garbage bags full of TV Guides tend to "take a while" to ascend the stairs when you're behind them.
Lawrence Frank – The Pistons offered the head coaching gig to Frank over the weekend. Frank is expected to accept the head coaching gig by mid-week. And Adam will then have to restructure his upcoming draft rankings to actually include Pistons. Damn you, coaches supportive of consistent and reliable rotations!

As a long time teacher and lecturer, and also offering the occassional workshop on public speaking, I love learning about what others think are the best tips for helping people make presentations. Today's world of presentations have changed. Even simple school lessons are now using computers, laptops, handheld computers, and digital images and projectors to help make the points.
I ran across 43 Folders' Presentation Tips which are not found in the post but in the dozens of comments left by helpful people with some expertise, offering their well-learned advice on how to give a good presentation.
Even I found some great references and tips there. Just goes to show that the power of blogging is not just to write about what you know, but to invite others to share what they know to help you and others. Magic.

Robbinsdale Area Schools is dedicated to an excellent education for all our students in a safe environment. While every precaution is taken to avoid crises, the district has invested significant resources in the development and constant evaluation of emergency procedures covering a broad range of potential scenarios that could occur in our facilities. Staff is well-trained, emergency procedures are posted for reference, and drills take place at regular intervals to ensure quick response to any crisis.
District-wide Implementation of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports
Some crises, such as natural disasters, are naturally outside of the control of the school district. Others are preventable. The most effective strategies for crisis prevention include ways to keep students engaged and in class. Because of Robbinsdale Area Schools' deep commitment to academic excellence, the district has fully embraced Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), a research-based framework of schoolwide interventions designed to keep students in class. The district has created an implementation plan that provides opportunity for sharing ideas, strategies and solutions, and a common language for every staff member. In addition, the district-wide implementation helps schools to be very intentional about helping students learn expectations and positive behaviors, which in turn increases student engagement, responsibility, and a sense of belonging.
Crisis management
Robbinsdale Area Schools has sound emergency procedures in place, and proper training for employees to implement procedures, should a crisis arise. In almost every scenario, the rule of thumb for action on the part of first responders to a crisis in a district facility is as follows:
Specific procedures with variations to these general procedures are indexed for easy access by staff in an emergency for a great many crisis scenarios ranging from natural disasters to school bus accidents.
Crisis communications
A crisis communications plan is in place to ensure accurate information reaches students, staff and families quickly. Information is provided immediately to the following sources for access by the public:
Emergency preparedness
Both the district and each school building have Emergency Procedures Handbooks that are reviewed frequently by administrators that are responsible for leading crisis response teams. Principals also follow a routine drill schedule each year to re-familiarize both staff and students with proper procedure for evacuations, reverse-evacuations (in case of an event occurring on the grounds, students return to the safety of the building) and lockdowns that keep the student population safe in their classrooms.

Addressing Hawaii's workforce development needs continues to be priority at UH community colleges
Community college officials present supplemental budget request priorities to LegislatureUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Mia Noguchi, (808) 956-9095
External Affairs & University Relations
HONOLULU — Hawaiʻi is facing a skilled worker shortage. According to the most recent data, the aging of Hawaiʻi's current workforce and the growth in the economy over the past two years have resulted in approximately 29,000 jobs to be filled annually. In addition, more than half the jobs to be filled in the state over the next 10 years will require education and training beyond high school.
The University of Hawaiʻi Community Colleges will play a crucial role in addressing these needs and have already focused efforts on numerous workforce development programs throughout the state. At a joint hearing held yesterday of the Senate Ways and Means and House Finance Committees, UH administrators highlighted the current programs underway and stressed the urgent need for financial support from the Legislature in order to continue and enhance programs.
"Responding to identified state needs for a diverse, competent, high quality workforce is a major aspect of the community colleges' mission," said UH Interim President David McClain. "The community colleges are committed to serve as the ʻopen door' point of access to education for Hawaiʻi's residents, and general fund support must be increased to properly maintain this mission. It's a critical investment to be made for the future of the State of Hawaiʻi."
The community colleges are requesting $2 million for workforce development initiatives. The amount includes just over $1 million to support a Rapid Response Workforce Development Training fund, a centralized pool of funds to provide immediate response in meeting employer identified workforce training needs in partnership with the community colleges, and $976,000 to support specific workforce development initiatives at the campuses.
Current successful workforce development efforts at the community colleges include:
· Honolulu CC's Construction Academy, a program in place at eight high schools with a goal of increasing the pipeline of workers entering Hawaiʻi's construction industry;
· Kapiʻolani CC's 21st Century career programs in business, information technology, culinary arts and hospitality, nursing and health sciences, legal assisting, English as a second language, and more, which are all strongly aligned with state economic development trajectories;
· Windward CC's Employment Training Center, which works actively with the State Department of Labor and Industrial Relations and other federal, state, city and private agencies to develop and provide short-term workforce training programs; and
· Community partnerships to enhance training in the areas of teaching, biotechnology, oral health care, early childhood education, agriculture, renewable energy, etc., at Hawaiʻi, Kauaʻi, Leeward and Maui CC.
The critical need for support of workforce development has also been recognized by the Governor, who has proposed in the executive operating budget $11.2 million for workforce development funding over and above what was requested by the university.
In addition to increased funding for workforce development initiatives, other general fund budget requests for high priority requirements at the community colleges include:
· $2.4 million to address rising utility costs;
· $1.7 million to support accreditation program review and assessment processes;
· $848,000 to support Native Hawaiian programs;
· $2.2 million to relieve UH Hilo of the financial burden of supporting Hawaiʻi Community College activities; and
· $208,000 for security support initiatives.
All of these priority areas were built upon urgent needs identified in the community colleges' strategic planning and program review processes.

The Open Science Collaboration has completed 100 replication studies of findings published in the scientific literature, and the results are available. The replicated studies have become much more likely to be true, but we are left with some questions about what it means that many studies did not replicate. This is a very rich dataset, and although there can be many reasons a finding does not replicate, I wanted to examine one concern. Studies in the Reproducibility Project were well powered for the effect sizes observed in the original studies. But we know effect sizes in the published literature are often overestimated. So is it possible that most of the replication studies that did not yield significant actually examined much smaller effects, and thus lacked power?
The table below (from the article in Science) summarizes some of the results. There is a nice range of interpretations (even though I'll focus a lot on the p < 0.05 criterium in this post). The probability of observing a statistically significant effect, if there is an effect to be found, depends on the statistical power of a study. The 'average replication power' provides estimates of the statistical power of the studies, assuming the effect size estimate in the original study was exactly the true effect size.
As the Open Science Collaboration (including myself) write: "On the basis of only the average replication power of the 97 original, significant effects [M = 0.92, median (Mdn) = 0.95], we would expect approximately 89 positive results in the replications if all original effects were true and accurately estimated."
With 35 significant effects out of 89, we get a 40% replication rate. But we have very good reasons to believe that not all original effect sizes were accurately estimated, and that the average power of replications was lower (Shravan Vasishth called this 'power inflation' earlier today). And when the average power is lower, less findings are expected to replicate, which means the replication success is relatively higher (i.e., instead of 35 out of 89, 35 out of some number lower than 89 replicated).
When there is severe publication bias, effect sizes are overestimated. We can examine whether there is publication bias in the original studies in a meta-analysis (below, I follow one meta-analysis of the data analysis team and look at studies which reported t-tests and F-tests, 73 out of the 100). Effect sizes observed in studies should be independent from standard errors, but when there is publication bias, they are not. There is a funnel plot of these 73 original studies on the OSF, but I prefer contour enhanced funnel plots, which I made by first running the (absolutely amazing - I'm serious, check out the work they put into this R script!) masterscript for the data analysis, and then running:
A contour-enhanced funnel plot makes it more strikingly clear that almost all original studies observed a statistically significant effect. This is surprising, given that sample sizes were much smaller than in replication attempts (and the replication studies had 92% power, based on the original effect sizes). This is also clear from the distribution of the effects – small studies (with large standard errors, on the bottom of the plot) have large effect sizes (because otherwise they would not be statistically significant), while larger studies (at the top) have smaller effect sizes (but still just large enough to be statistically significant, or fall outside of the white triangle).
Trim-and-fill analysis can only be used as a sensitivity analysis (it does not provide accurate effect sizes or estimates of the actual number of missing studies), but it clearly shows studies are missing (there are 29 white dots in the trim-and-fill funnel plot, which represent the studies assumed to be missing), and reports a meta-analytic effect size estimate of r = 0.28 (instead of r = 0.42) based on these hypothetical missing studies. This does not mean r = 0.28 is the true effect size, but it's probably close (a meta-analysis of meta-analyses estimated the average effect size in psychology at r = 0.21 – so that we might be in the ballpark).
The difference between the biased and unbiased effect size is substantial, and this means power could very reasonable be somewhat lower that 0.92. There's not much the Reproducibility Project could do about publication bias (e.g., there are no full-proof statistical technique to estimate unbiased effect size estimates). The solution should come from us: We should publish all our effects, regardless of their significance level. If we don't, we are sabotaging cumulative science.
However: power only matters when there is a true effect. An unknown percentage of studies did not replicate, because they were originally a false positive, and there simply is no true effect to be found (i.e., the true effect size is 0). It is difficult to tease apart failed replications due to low power, and failed replications because the original studies were false positives, and again, this is a very hetergeneous set of studies. But a look at the p-value distribution is interesting, which we can plot with:
pdist<-MASTER$T_pval_USE..R.[!is.na(MASTER$T_pval_USE..O.) & !is.na(MASTER$T_pval_USE..R.)] hist(pdist, breaks=100) abline(h=3.4, lty = 3, col = "gray60")
The histogram is divided into 20 bins, and the frequency of p-values in each bin are plotted. This means all significant results (p < 0.05) fall in the left-most bin. If all non-significant studies examined no true effects, the p-values would be uniformly distributed, with 3.4 studies in each bin (64 non-significant studies (there are 99 p-values plotted, so 99-35=64) in 19 remaining bins). If we think of this p-value distribution as a mix of null effects (uniformly distributed) and true effects (a skewed distribution highest at low p-values), the distribution is not a shallow curve (which would be a sign of low power, see p-value distributions as a function of power here). Instead, the distribution looks more like a sharp angle, which mirrors a p-value distribution from a set of highly powered experiments. It really looks like our power was very high (but we should remember we only have 100 datapoints). There will certainly be some replication studies that, with a much larger sample size, will reveal an effect. In general, it is extremely difficult (and requires huge sample sizes) to distinguish between a real but very small effect, and no effect. But at least the distribution of p-values takes away the concern I had when I started this blog post that the biased effect size estimates in the original studies affected the power in the replication studies.
For now, it means 35 out of 97 replicated effects have become quite a bit more likely to be true. We have learned something about what predicts replicability. For example, at least for some indicators of replication success, "Surprising effects were less reproducible" (take note, journalists and editors of Psychological Science!). For the studies that did not replicate, we have more data, which can inform not just our statistical inferences, but also our theoretical inferences. The Reproducibility Project demonstrates large scale collaborative efforts can work, so if you still believe in an effect that did not replicate, get some people together, collect enough data, and let me know what you find.

Could a DAF X-Tend Clutch save you money in the long run?
Could a DAF X-Tend Clutch save you money in the long run?
When times are hard and everyone needs to control their spend carefully, why would anyone choose a more expensive option when purchasing a replacement clutch?
We all recognise that there are times when the cheapest option is not necessarily the best choice, and can sometimes work out more expensive over time.
The DAF X-Tend clutch represents a greater initial investment when compared with a conventional clutch, but could deliver a real, pound for pound, saving in many circumstances.
70% more plate depth offering built-in longevity that will save money over the life of the clutch
Self adjusting for consistent performance/pedal travel and reduced undue wear and tear
Maintenance free to substantially cut down on maintenance costs and reduce vehicle downtime
2 year warranty for added reassurance and peace-of-mind

FOOD & WINE- The Wine List
Look out California, your days as the heart of America's wine country might be numbered.
That's what some are saying about the booming Virginia wine industry. According to the Virginia Wineries Association, the more than 260 wineries in the Commonwealth produce over 750,000 gallons of wine a year!
But it's not just quantity that's caught the wine world's attention. Virginia wines are winning awards galore in national and international competitions, and some of those gold- and silver-medal bottles come from right here in Central Virginia.
Cleanse your palate and gas up your car, because there's plenty of tasting to be done in our own backyard.
Afton Mountain Vineyards - Located on a beautiful spread in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, this mom and pop vineyard makes Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, a "Sweet Afton" dessert wine and, (yes, Sideways fans) one of the area's only Pinot Noirs. Given its mountain location, the view ain't bad either. W-Sun,10am-6pm for most of the year. 540-456-8667.
Autumn Hill Vineyards/Blue Ridge Winery - Established in 1979, Autumn Hill calls itself "Virginia's Home of Serious Red Wine." But those who prefer whites should have no fear. In addition to such reds as Merlot and a "Horizon Rouge" Bordeaux-style blend, they also offer Chardonnay and Viognier. Open only for special events on a weekend in April and October 14-15 and 21-22, 2006 for the 20th annual barrel tasting. 985-6100.
Barboursville Vineyards - Growing grapes on the estate with Thomas Jefferson's Historic Landmark Ruins, this is one of Virginia's most acclaimed wineries, racking up awards from all over the country for wines young and old. Both Classic and Reserve selections are available. Open 10am-5pm Mon-Sat, 11am-5pm Sun. 540-832-7572.
Blenheim Vineyards - This vineyard's biggest boast– aside from the fact that it's owned by Dave Matthews– is Brad McCarthy, one of Virginia's leading winemakers. In addition to three types of Chardonnay, they also make Merlot, Meritage, and Petit Verdot. Don't expect to just pull up and grab a glass, though. Tours and tastings are by appointment only. 293-5366.
Burnley Vineyards - This family-owned and -operated winery is one of the oldest in the area. They offer several varieties of "Rivanna" blends in addition to more traditional wines. It's not a bad place to end an exhausting day of tasting, as the owners offer a guest house that sleeps four. Open daily 11am-5pm all year. 540-832-2828.
Cardinal Point Vineyard & Winery - Here you can take in views of the Rockfish Gap, Skyline Drive, and the Blue Ridge Parkway while sampling a bottle of white, a bottle of red, and perhaps a bottle of rosé (made from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes). Open daily year-round 11am-5:30pm. 540-456-8400.
Christensen Ridge - Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, and Vidal grapes cover 200 acres. A five-bedroom main house and a three-story log cabin are available for lodging. Open weekends 11am-5pm for most of the year. 540-923-4800.
Cooper Vineyards - This Louisa vintner has racked up medals galore from wine festivals across the country for everything from Merlot to a blend called Coopertage Blanc. All wines are aged in French Oak barrels with the exception of their Norton wine (made from a native Virginia grape) which is aged in oak from right here in the Commonwealth. Open 11am-5pm, daily in April-December, just on weekends January-March.
DelFosse Vineyards and Winery - Having planted their first grapes in 2000, this Nelson County winery is the newest in Central Virginia. Their vineyards of 10 kinds of varietal grapes are planted in the European "terraced" style, one of the only such vineyards in the Commonwealth. Their first wines have come out in the last few years and include international gold medal-winning bottles of Chardonnay and a blend called Cuvee Laurent. Open Wed-Sun 11am-5pm year-round. 263-6100.
First Colony Winery - With all due respect to fiddlers on roofs everywhere, this place is all about Old World tradition! Complete with a winemaker from France, First Colony has transplanted the craft from the Loire Valley to just east of the Shenandoah Valley. The wine list includes several dry whites, reds and a "Sweet Sherando" off-dry blend. Open 11am-5pm daily year-round. 979-7105.
Gabriele Rausse Winery - This winery is mostly a small, private venture, and while it's not open to the public, you can find Rausse himself at various wine festivals and at his day job as Associate Director of Gardens and Grounds at Monticello. Offerings include Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and two kinds of Chardonnay, all available in the Charlottesville area. 296-5328.
Green Springs Winery at Gioiosa Vineyards - With the help of Gabriele Rausse, the owners of this Louisa spread started up their winery 10 years ago and put out their first vintages in 2004: Rosé, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Open 11am-6pm Thurs-Sun or by appointment. 540-967-9463.
Hill Top Berry Farm & Winery - As the name suggests, there are very few grapes to be found here. Instead, the wines are made almost exclusively from sweeter fruits like blueberries, strawberries, peaches, and the house specialty, blackberries. They also make mead, perfect for your next Renaissance faire or jousting match. Open year-round, Wed-Sat 11am-5pm (9am-5pm in August, during berry season) and 1pm-5pm Sun. 361-1266.
Horton Cellars Winery - Whether you're talking about their annual pig roast, their six varieties of fruit wine, or their "Dom Virginion"– purportedly the world's first and only sparkling Viognier– this Orange County vineyard is far from traditional. But after they won gold medals in several competitions across the country, nobody seems to be complaining. Open 10am-5pm daily year-round. 540-832-7440.
Jefferson Vineyards - This vintner borrows the name of Virginia's most famous wine connoisseur with good reason. The land where they grow their grapes is the site of Mr. Jefferson's original 1774 vineyard, a mile south of Monticello. In "truly fulfilling Jefferson's vision," they make a wide variety of red and white wines and two "Jefferson's Own" blends. Open 11am-5pm daily year-round. 977-3042 or 1-800-272-3042.
Keswick Vineyards - Located on the Edgewood Estate in the eastern part of Albemarle Coutny, Keswick has a decidedly narrow focus, offering only seven different kinds of wine. The lack of quantity doesn't appear to have hurt the quality, however. Their 2002 Viognier Estate Reserve was voted "Best White Wine in America" at an Atlanta competition. Tasting room open daily 3pm-11pm. 244-3341.
King Family Vineyards - This Crozet spread is home to the Roseland Polo Field, where diehard fans and curious newcomers can watch this English pastime every Sunday. Oh, and they also make wine. Look for Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc in addition to several blends and four bottles of Michael Shaps brand wines, named for the winemaker they share with DelFosse and Keswick Vineyards. Open 9am-5pm daily year-round. 823-7800.
Kluge Estate Winery and Vineyard - With a view looking down on Monticello, this Carter's Mountain vineyard makes wine with a decidedly nontraditional bent. Aside from a sparkling Chardonnay, all of their wines are blends made from 50 acres of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay grapes. Open Mon 11am-4pm, Tues-Sun, 10am-5pm year-round. 977-3895.
Mountain Cove Vineyards & Wine Garden - While Al Weed might be better known now as a Congressional hopeful, he also happens to be one of the founders of the Old Dominion's experiment with viticulture. His Mountain Cove is Virginia's oldest continually operated winery. This Nelson County vineyard offers a small variety of exclusive blends and sweet wines made from locally grown fruit. Open daily 12pm-6pm March through October and 11am-5pm November through December. 263-5392.
Old House Vineyards - Seventy-five acres of Culpeper real estate and a restored 19th century farmhouse constitute these newer vineyards. Having won awards from domestic and international wine festivals for everything from Chardonnay to a red blend called "an Samhradh," it's an up and comer in the Virginia wine game. Open Mon, Thurs and Fri 1-5 pm, Sat 11am-5pm, and Sun 12pm-5pm or call for an appointment. 540-423-1032.
Oakencroft Vineyard & Winery - Almost literally a stone's throw from the Charlottesville city limits, this is Albemarle County's oldest winery. In spite of its proximity to the hustle and bustle of Hooktown, the location has a country feel complete with a lake and a view of the Blue Ridge. Among the wines are a Virginia State Fair gold medal-winning Seyval Blanc and one of the area's only bottles of Chambourcin. Open 11am-5pm daily for most of the year. 296-4188.
Prince Michel Vineyards - As anybody driving to or from Washington knows, Prince Michel Vineyards are conspicuously located right on Route 29 a few miles south of Culpeper. In addition to area commonalities like Cabernet Franc and Merlot, they make Shiraz, a rare find in Central Virginia. Whether you buy wine made under their Virginia, Madison or Rapidan labels, a portion of your money goes to the Leducq Foundation for cardiovascular research. Open daily 10am-6pm year-round. 540-546-3707.
Rockbridge Vineyard - This is no fly-by-night winery. Owner and winemaker Shepherd Rouse has been serious about his viticulture and his Commonwealth for decades and married his two passions in 1988 when he planted five acres of grapes at his farm in Rockbridge County. Since then, this European-schooled vitner has produced several acclaimed vintages over the years, including three Virginia Governor's Cup winners. Open Tues-Sat 10am-6pm, Sun-Mon 12pm-5pm. 1-888-511-9463.
Stone Mountain Vineyards - Inspired by the grapes grown in the mountains on either side of Europe's Rhine River Valley, this vineyard is distinctive for its high elevation (1,700 feet) in relation to the rest of Central Virginia. With only four kinds of wine, including two house blends, it's the only winery in the area with a wine made as "a tribute to moonshiners and the revenue agents who pursued them." Open weekends for most of the year, Fri-Sun 11am-5pm. 990-9463.
Veritas Winery - Latin proverbs aside, the Veritas wine list is indeed true to European tradition, offering wines like Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Claret. In-house specialty blends include Kenmar, a fruity dessert wine, and a dark red called Othello. The Afton vineyard also features another one of Virginia's famous exports– there's a stable of horses on site. Open daily 11am-5pm, year round. 540-456-8000.
White Hall Vineyards - This western Albemarle County vineyard boasts several accolade-winning wines, including a national gold medal Cabernet Franc and several state-recognized Chardonnays. For the femme fatale in your life, they make a deep blend called Breakheart Red. Feel free to pack a lunch and picnic under the oak trees. Open W-Sun, 11am-5pm year round. 823-8615.
Wintergreen Vineyard & Winery - After an exhilarating day of skiing (or falling, depending on your proficiency) on the slopes of Wintergreen Resort, you can enjoy a wide range of red and white wines at the nearby vineyard of the same name. Offerings include multiple award-winning varieties of Chardonnay, Riesling, Cabernet Franc and even raspberry wine. Open daily year-round, 10am-5pm in the fall and winter, 10am-6pm when the weather gets warmer. 361-2519.
