...Agenda: Week 1 1. Communication defined -senders, receivers, & communication channels -encoding, decoding messages -noise, & environmental message factors -human (symbolic) interaction 2. The communication settings we’ll cover this semester -intrapersonal -dyadic/interpersonal -small group -public communication -mass communication Week 1: Elements of Communication COMMUNICATION- The process of human beings responding to the symbolic behavior of other persons. -First Characteristic of Definition: Communication is a “Process.” Communication is “Process” several reasons: 1.We do not communicate to other people, we communicate with other people. To understand difference, we first need to talk about the components of communication: -Sender, Receiver… -Message Encoding, Message Decoding… -Psychological Noise, Physiological Noise -Communication Channels, -AND Communication Environment. Sender-The person or persons responsible for creating a message to be sent. Ex. A politician giving a speech… A parent lecturing a child… A divorced middle age women writing a love letter to her favorite soap opera star… …All these people are sending messages. Receiver- The person or persons who are receiving the created messages. Ex. An audience receives the politician’s speech… The unfortunate child is the recipient of the parents lecture… The soap opera star is the lucky receiver...

...Proposal: Male Coaches in Female Sports Research Methods in Exercise and Sport Science 5315 April 28, 2011 Chapter I Introduction Ever since women became involved in sports, they have been in a constant battle to gain recognition in a sports world mainly revolving around men’s sports. Events such as Billy Jean King defeating Bobby Riggs on the tennis court and the U.S. women’s soccer team winning the World Cup in 1999; women’s sports have slowly gained interest from others. For many years, only women coached women’s sports, but since Title IX was passed there has been a gradual increase in male coaches in women’s sports. Studies have shown that approximately 71% of female athletes prefer a male coach (Lirgg, Dibrezzo, & Smith, 1994). In the studies discussed in the review of literature, researchers chose to focus on determining female athletes’ opinions and experiences when being coached by a male coach. However, there is limited research on this topic. Therefore, this study will further analyze the different reasons why female athletes prefer to be coached by a male coach. Purpose of Study The purpose of this study is to research why female athletes prefer male coaches. The study will analyze the different reasons for female athletes preferring male coaches. This study will contain only college female athletes. Significance of Study The significance of this study is to show why 71% of female athletes prefer a male coach (Lirgg, Dibrezzo, &...

...Anthony Poindexter 3/12/13 Mr.Kuntz Social Problems 110 Media Analysis Project. As we sit down and watch the television we see that the most popular shows and cartoons that we mainly watch consist of different types of stereotypes. Not knowing what the media's subliminal message is at this moment, it plays a key role into what our children are taking in with everything they watch and how what they view as a child effects how they see other people. Heiner discusses this in his book that social problems and critical construction-ism affect the way we live today and in the future. There are three TV shows that i have watched and carefully analyzed that show how the media today, has twisted the way we see Television. Not even really knowing that what we are watching is a Guinea-pig instrument that the government uses to make us see how they want everyday life to be. For example these are some of the shows that use stereotypes in every episode to trick us and to make us desire to be like them just because of their gender, race or class. The Cartoon "Hey Arnold" was created by Craig Bartlett and was diversely a stereotypical show that was basically showing people how middle class/poor kids in the ghetto lived and told the adventures they had together. The main Character in this cartoon was a little scrawny low class white kid named Arnold. Arnold is well respected around the city that he lives in just because of his humble and well-mannered nature. He is a quiet kid that has...

Observation Report Kelly Koss Note to the reader: The names within this paper have been modified to protect the identities of the children involved in my observations. Observation #1: “John” and aggression Date and time: Wednesday April 16, 2003; 11:25-12:50 Setting: Playground for 1st/2nd grade recess 11:25-11:50, 3rd/4th grade 11:55-12:20, Kindergarten recess 12:25-12:50 Activities observed: Children climbing across the climbing rings, watching children pretend play at the tire mountain and under the large wooden play structure with the blue plastic slide. My interaction with the children: I spent a lot of time answering questions about my name and where I am from for the children. Example A: There was one child named “John” on the first recess who was racing across the rings with another child, lost the race and fell to the ground. He then started to cry and called himself a loser. I pulled him aside to try to talk to him to find out what was wrong. He kept telling me that he was a loser because he didn’t win the race and he never wins, and that “all my friends think I am a loser because I cry all the time. They make fun of me because I cry. They beat me up. I am a loser.” I tried to reassure him and tell him I did not think he was a loser. I explained how I thought one of the reasons he lost the race was because he had been climbing across...

...Fast Training-Based Redundant Predictor Elimination Scheme for Intra Coding in H.264/AVC Tseng-Jung Lin, Kuo-Liang Chung, Po-Chun Chang, and Wei-Jen Yang National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taipei, Taiwan 10672, R. O. C. E-mail: {D9715002, k.l.chung, D9915014, wjyang}@mail.ntust.edu.tw Abstract—Currently, Laroche et al. presented an efficient method to eliminate redundant predictors for intra coding in H.264/AVC. Their proposed method has a bitrate advantage reduction under a low bitrate environment. In this paper, we present a fast training-based redundant predictor elimination scheme to enhance the execution-time performance while preserving similar bitrates. We first develop a new statistic training approach to construct a set of most similar predictor-pairs and determine the priority of each predictor. Based on the constructed predictor-pair set and the determined predictor priorities, we thus can efficiently eliminate the redundant predictors and preserve more frequently used ones, leading to the advantages of bitrate reduction and computation-saving. The results of experiments on the sixteen standard Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) test sequences turn out that under similar bitrates, the average execution-time improvement ratio of the proposed scheme over Laroche et al.’s method can be more than 16.77%.

...APPEARED IN BULLETIN OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 30, Number 2, April 1994, Pages 161-177 ON PROOF AND PROGRESS IN MATHEMATICS WILLIAM P. THURSTON This essay on the nature of proof and progress in mathematics was stimulated by the article of Jaffe and Quinn, “Theoretical Mathematics: Toward a cultural synthesis of mathematics and theoretical physics”. Their article raises interesting issues that mathematicians should pay more attention to, but it also perpetuates some widely held beliefs and attitudes that need to be questioned and examined. The article had one paragraph portraying some of my work in a way that diverges from my experience, and it also diverges from the observations of people in the field whom I’ve discussed it with as a reality check. After some reflection, it seemed to me that what Jaffe and Quinn wrote was an example of the phenomenon that people see what they are tuned to see. Their portrayal of my work resulted from projecting the sociology of mathematics onto a one-dimensional scale (speculation versus rigor) that ignores many basic phenomena. Responses to the Jaffe-Quinn article have been invited from a number of mathematicians, and I expect it to receive plenty of specific analysis and criticism from others. Therefore, I will concentrate in this essay on the positive rather than on the contranegative. I will describe my view of the process of mathematics, referring only occasionally to Jaffe and Quinn by way of comparison. In attempting to...

...The media Anne O’Keeffe Historical overview of media discourse ‘The media’ is a very broad term, encompassing print and broadcast genres, that is anything from newspaper to chat show and, latterly, much more besides, as new media emerge in line with technological leaps. The study of ‘the media’ comes under the remit of media studies from perspectives such as their production and consumption, as well as their aesthetic form. The academic area of media studies cuts across a number of disciplines including communication, sociology, political science, cultural studies, philosophy and rhetoric, to name but a handful. Meanwhile, the object of study, ‘the media’, is an ever-changing and ever-growing entity. The study of ‘the media’ also comes under the radar of applied linguistics because at the core of these media is language, communication and the making of meaning, which is obviously of great interest to linguists. As Fairclough (1995a: 2) points out, the substantively linguistic and discoursal nature of the power of the media is a strong argument for analysing the mass media linguistically. Central to the connection between media studies and studies of the language used in the media (media discourse studies) is the importance placed on ideology. A major force behind the study of ideology in the media is Stuart Hall (see, for example, Hall 1973, 1977, 1980, 1982). Hall (1982), in his influential paper, notes that the study of media (or ‘mass communication’) has had...
