If you are an artists, consider getting a booth at this amazing event! Register at www.tierradelsoul.org. If you want to talk about scholarships regarding the booth fee, please contact Marisol at firstname.lastname@example.com or 505-400-4815.
As part of the audience engagement portion of the September 7th TEDxABQ conference at Popejoy Hall, we will be staging a pop-up studio salon where selected artists will be invited to setup a workspace and create a piece (or pieces) the day of the event. Previous TEDxABQ events, including last year's main conference at the National Hispanic Cultural Center, have sold out, and it is anticipated that this 2000-seat event will sell out as well. This will be an excellent opportunity for participants to engage with the Albuquerque community, make connections, and gain exposure to potential new collectors.
TED is a nonprofit organization that stages national and international events that center on sharing "ideas worth spreading" through inspiring talks and presentations about varied and diverse topics. (Check out TED's award winning website to view some of these talks. http://www.ted.com/) Created in the spirit of TED's mission, the TEDx program is designed to give communities, organizations, and individuals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experiences at a local level. TEDx events occur on every continent (even Antarctica), and are fully planned and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis. Since 2010, TEDxABQ (http://tedxabq.com/) has hosted over 50 community events and continues to grow and reach an ever-expanding audience.
The pop-up studio salon will be located in the walkway leading from Redondo Road (the road in front of the bookstore paralleling Central Ave) to Popejoy Hall. The theme of the event is "Be Extra___" (as in extraordinary, but fill in your own extra: extra-adventurous, extra-detailed, extra-bold), and projects should relate to this theme. Because TED is about new and inventive ideas that surprise and engage audiences and stimulate dialogue, projects outside of the "traditional" box are encouraged, though they must be appropriate for an all-ages audience. We are seeking artists who can actively create a piece (or pieces) in the time frame of the event while engaging with TEDxABQ participants. Individuals, collaborations, and organizations are welcome to submit proposals. Projects that require or promote interaction with TEDxABQ attendees are encouraged. Artists must be able to bring all of their own supplies, including display setups, though some minor accommodations may be made. Because this event is outdoors, access to electricity is limited. Artists are also welcome to bring preexisting work to show during the event, as well as any promotional materials and contact information they may wish to share with TEDxABQ attendees.
Those interested in participating are asked to submit a short project proposal by email, with "TEDxABQ Open Studio" in the subject line, to email@example.com, including the intended concept, how it relates to the "Be Extra___" theme, medium, and space requirements, by Friday, July 26th. Submissions should include 5-7 examples of related work, the participating artists' CV, and contact information; total file size should not exceed 3 MB. There is no entry fee, as selected artists will be considered volunteers. Projects will be selected by a panel of TEDxABQ volunteers based on artists' concepts, the amount of space available, and the submitted work examples. Notifications will be sent by email by August 9th. For more information, contact me at email@example.com.
I would like to invite you to participate in Tierra del Soul: Fiestas de Chile y Arte. This event is organized by the SouthWest Organizing Project and is going to be a place to celebrate New Mexico.
When: Saturday, September 28; 10:30am-4pm

The 78-room Lighthouse Inn at Aransas Bay is in a wonderful location right on the water in old Rockport. Rooms are classic -- if slightly outdated, with comforters instead of duvets, and tube TVs -- and offer decent amenities suh as microwaves and mini-fridges. Balconies are the most appealing feature here, with two rocking chairs that face either the bay or the pool and gardens. This inn is full of scenic places to relax, including the big outdoor swimming pool surrounded by tropical landscaping and a fishing dock jutting out into the bay.
The Omni Corpus Christi Bayfront Tower's 475 updated rooms feature tasteful, modern decor and comfortable beds. However, the balconies, with wonderful views of the city and sea, inexplicably lack patio furniture. Well-located near the Corpus Christi Marina, the Bayfront Tower offers easy access to great dining and cultural attractions, and the harbor. Decent amenities such as a small indoor/outdoor pool, fitness center, and an outstanding rooftop restaurant are also draws.
Things at this low-end budget property are finally starting to look up. The Travel Channel program Hotel Impossible featured the hotel in 2012, and gave the hotel's entrance area and cafe a much needed facelift -- including upgraded signage, landscaping additions, and de-cluttering of the cafe's windows (formerly covered in Post-It notes). Rooms are all very spacious, making it well-suited for families, and the aging bathrooms are getting modernized. The Astroturf-covered pool area is especially atrocious, however, and shows the dire state the property was in before being purchased. The renovations should hopefully bring more improvements.
The Radisson Hotel Corpus Christi Beach enjoys a wonderful location on a clean stretch of beach just north of downtown. Some of the comfortable (though somewhat dated) rooms have lovely views facing the sea, as does the hotel's small pool that affronts the beach. Other rooms, though, face the uninspiring parking lot. There is decent dining in the lobby level restaurant, and a couple fun bar options on-site. All in all, it's a good option for leisure travelers and vacationing families looking for a clean, comfortable hotel for a seaside holiday.
The Staybridge Suites Corpus Christi caters to families and business travelers on extended stay with its spacious, clean rooms and full kitchens. Its central location in a commercial district puts guests midway between downtown Corpus Christi's cultural attractions and the beaches to the southwest. The surroundings aren't the most glamorous, and you'll need a car to get most everywhere -- but there are some perks to staying here, including plenty of dining and shopping options nearby.
The Best Western Ocean Villa is a 49-room motel-style property in Port Aransas. Rooms are bland but sizable, with either two queen beds or a king bed and a love seat. Guests get free breakfast and access to a 24-hour business center, in addition to free Wi-Fi throughout the property. Near the beach as well as restaurants and shops, Best Western Ocean Villa is a convenient option for families and other travelers on a budget.
Hawthorn Suites Corpus Christi is a solid value hotel with highlights such as an attractive outdoor pool and a free hot-and-cold breakfast buffet. Located in a commercial district, it sits midway between downtown Corpus Christi's cultural attractions and the beaches to the south of town. The surroundings aren't the sexiest, but it's a convenient spot for exploring the area and saving some cash in the process. Travelers may consider comparing rates with the nearby Holiday Inn Express, however, as its rooms are more attractive and have large flat-screen TVs. The Hawthorn's rooms come equipped with wet bars and microwaves, but the decor is tired.
The Hampton Inn & Suites Rockport is a stand-out in this price point for its updated, comfortable rooms, and excellent amenities, including an outdoor pool that's straight out of a Tuscan villa, a sauna, and free breakfast. Good, strong coffee is available around-the clock in the lobby, and fresh-baked cookies in the afternoon add that right-at-home touch. The hotel is also well located in a pretty, tree-enclosed area along a main street in Rockport, close to beaches and local parks. Overall it's a great budget option only a half-hour drive to downtown.
The small Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Rockport/Bay View almost feels like a boutique hotel thanks to modern, tasteful decor and comfortable rooms. The "Bay View" add-on to the name isn't entirely true, as only the rooms on the third floor have any sort of view of the nearby ocean -- and it's barely there, off in the distance behind a neighboring motel. The view (or lack thereof) aside, it's conveniently within walking distance to local beaches and attractions, and makes a fine base for exploring the area.
The Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Corpus Christi is a solid value hotel with clean, comfortable, modern rooms and nice freebies (such as Wi-Fi and breakfast). Located in a commercial district, it sits midway between downtown Corpus Christi's cultural attractions and the beaches to the south of town. The surroundings aren't the sexiest, and you'll need a car to get most everywhere, but it's a perfectly good place to stay to explore the area and save a bit of money in the process.

Get ready for Round 4…Please keep the comments coming!
Thank you so far for your comments in the "Hireko Wants You to Help Design Our Next Driver from the Ground Up!" campaign. As of now we have a basic shape compiled from your requests and a general design principle to guide us by so that you can not only gain more distance, but more accuracy as well. While many of the opinions are varied or diametrically opposed, we are still sifting through the response in order to incorporate the common elements into your design. But we still need your valuable input.
We have decided to position this driver in the Acer XDS line as it will be
definitely a game-improvement model, plus we have some additional new clubs on the horizon that would be a good complement.
But we still need your input on a few more items on our house cleaning list.
The adjustable weighted screw that was shown in Part 3 is being nixed for a couple of reasons. One is the added cost as it appears it would cost in the neighborhood of a $4 add-on in the final retail price. But more importantly, the overall responses had slightly more people against adjustability compared to those in favor. See what project managers have to decide and weigh all the benefits? But this is you time to express your opinions. However, the weight will be heavier as many of you want a driver that can be made shorter (44" for men) to make more solid contact on a regular basis.
o No adjustable screw as I or my customers would never change it anyway
o Yes, I am willing to pay more for an adjustable weighted driver
The volume is a measure of club head size with the maximum limit allowed by the USGA is 460cc. The larger volume coupled with a broad footprint at address helps to create additional forgiveness or a higher moment of inertia. Golfers are looking at all the advantages they can get, so it is only natural that the vast majority of drivers on the market today go right to this limit. However, some of those that responded would like to see a smaller size. So here is your chance to answer.
|o Maximum 460cc
|I (or my customers) need all the help possible
|o 420-440 cc
|Big but not too big
|o 400 cc
|I am old school
Face Construction
The only impact the golf ball should ever make on a driver is the face, so the most attention should be paid to its construction. There are two basic options to choose from. The first is the standard construction where the face is a flat sheet welded around the perimeter of the face. In tooling, this is by far the most cost effective method.
The other alternative is the Cup Face construction where the welded is several millimeter behind the face so that there is more spring action in the face around the perimeter. After all, we don't always hit the center of the face. In addition, we can make the face variable thickness, further reducing the thickness around the perimeter like what we have done with the Acer
XK driver series. Realize that a variable face thickness + cup face will add to the cost of the driver in the neighborhood of $10.
|o Variable Face Thickness + Cup Face Construction
|Yes, upgrade the face, the extra $ is worth it
|o Standard Forged Titanium Construction
|Standard face construction is just fine
Face Material
Many of you have expressed a desired for a different mace material than what we normally use, which is 6-4 Titanium (6% aluminum, 4% vanadium, 90% titanium). This is a very good, durable material for the face that allows us to push the limits on spring-like effect and go right up against the USGA limit on CT (Characteristic Time) to make sure it conforms to the Rules of Golf.
We could use one of the many more resilient beta titanium grades of titanium. But here is the skinny. We still need the club to conform otherwise sales potential is greatly diminished. Therefore we end up having to make the face thicker defeating the purpose of using the more elastic metal. The only other alternative on why to use one of the beta titanium grades is for weight savings and remember this head will be heavier than normal to allow for a shorter assembly length and the ability to achieve standard swingweights. Here is the real kicker, it will add $10 to the retail cost of the head and still not produce any additional ball speed / distance. So which material would you use?
|o 6-4 Titanium Standard
|face material is just fine
|o Beta Titanium
|I don't care about cost, put the premium material in
It is you time to speak now or forever hold your peace!
31 Comments on Hireko Wants You To Help Design Our Next Driver From The Ground Up! Part 4
Yuck! If thats the prototype head shape.
Maybe I'm too traditional but I'm not into hitting things I can't look at.
I'd suggest maybe a magnesium crown if you want to push weight lower and back.
I'm more concerned with the clubs overall "feel" I prefer a hot feeling face as opposed to some of the dead thick feeling club faces.
If you are making a game improvement driver, then 460cc size and variable thickness cup face should be used as well as standard 6-4 titanium for the cost savings. Now if you were making MY ideal driver….
I like a weight screw. It makes adjusting swingweight easy and, I think, increases resale value since a buyer wouldn't have to re-shaft to change the swingweight.
Max volume is not necessary as long as MOI and aerodynamics aren't compromised.
I think the advantages of a cup face with variable thickness far outweigh the costs. Cupface all of the way.
I makes no sense to use Beta Titanium. 6-4 Ti is fine.
You might consider two separate designs…one value and one premium. The value design would not have the weight screw or the cupface, the premium would for an extra $14. I'm betting you'd still sell more of the premium versions if the price difference were only $14.
I like the design. The weight screw is worth the money becuase changing the weight screw would allow you to change the length.
It would give you a ton of fitting options in length and shaft options.
Are there any tests that prove advantages to cup face and Beta face usage for mid handicap golfers? This should be a premium driver. Put the money where you get the return. If cup face and Beta technology adds to performance, go for it.
You didn't mention face height. Other than that it looks great.
That shape looks very much like the Callaway Diablo Draw.
My Input? I'd like to see the fusion technology used in the Callaway FTIq and FT9. It seems to tame the clangy noise that the 100% Ti heads have.
Cup face: Yes!!! ($10 is worth it)
6-4 Ti: Yes (needs to conform)
460 CC: Yes (it's where the market is)
Screw: NO. (gimmicky)
Red racing stripe: NO
The variable weight screws is not needed.
460CC, but in a shape that appears bigger
Please add the cup face technology
face material is just fine
In the thriver live appearence, I would prefer additional lofts besides 10.5 and 12, especially in the left hand'ers. a 14 degree would be fantastic.

My vote is: No Weight screws
Standard face construction, and 6-4 Titanium face material.
Weight: No adjustable screw as I or my friends would never change it anyway.
Volume: Maximum 460cc (although 420-440 is acceptable … no big deal).
Face Construction: Variable Face Thickness + Cup Face Construction
Face Material: Beta Titanium
Here's some of my reasoning for these comments (I make all of my clubs):
I've discovered (as has Boo Weekly and many other top, long-hitting pros) that a 44″ shaft puts the ball in the fairway much more often than a 45″ shaft with no appreciable loss of distance. I hit the fairway 75-80% of the time with a 44" –44 1/2"shaft.
I also feel that cup face technology is necessary to boost the average golfers confidence and keep the ball in play more often.
The only thing I disagree with is your goal to make all of your heads conforming to the .830 COR. I ONLY make .860 COR products for myself and my friends. 99% of us amateurs don't play in PGA-sanctioned tournaments, so why wouldn't we want to hit the ball 7-25 yards further every time? It makes no sense to use a conforming driver for most of us.
That is why I also like beta titanium for the face (either 15-3-3-3 or SP-700).
I have made and hit 18 different drivers in the last two years and I still prefer the elongated pear shape to the totally elongated triangular or square shape. The appearance of the club head at address is critical to me. If I don't like it, I don't hit the ball nearly as well … it's that important.
One of my favorite heads is one that you are currently closing out …the Synchron Medic. It looks good at address, has cup face technology and hits the ball a long way.
I know that you are probably looking to create a head with some pizzazz like the Callaway FT-9 or FT-IQ, but looks alone (as I'm sure you know), don't make the driver.
I'd base my criteria for a new driver head on distance, accuracy and looks at address … everything else is less important.
You are exactly on track. Frank Thomas's Q&A today is relevant and supporting of your suggestion on adjustability. Vote for no adjustment, 400CC, upgrade to cup and forget Beta.
Thank you.
o No adjustable screw as I or my customers would never change it anyway
o Maximum 460cc
o Variable Face Thickness + Cup Face Construction
o 6-4 Titanium Standard
I vote YES to adjustable weights (it's only $4), Face Cup.
460 is nice, but 420 – 440 is OK too
NO to different materials that don't make a measurable difference
460cc is good and cup face is desireable. Many of my associates are weekend golfers and the ability to keep the ball in play and not sacriface distance is a big selling point.
no adjustability, 460CC,
Variable Face Thickness + Cup Face Construction, 6-4 Titanium
Love the new shape, and want as much forgiveness as I can get with a swing speed 90-100 mph. While I am just an amateur, and not involved with any serious tournaments that require USGA ruling, if I am competiting in a scramble or with friends, I want to compete and beat them while conforming, so there is no excuse.
No weight screws
Max volume 460 cc
6-4 Ti Variable Face Thickness
Cup Face Construction
Please make it square face. If you want to make a draw model, incorporate a closed face in that one.
60° lie.
Lofts 9°, 11°, 13°
After re-reading your post concerning raising the weight so as to accommodate players wanting a 44″ length, I'd like to rescind my position on the weighting screw. I'm on the other end, wanting standard (45″) or longer lengths.
Put the screw back in, I'll pay the extra $4. Just be sure the screws are interchangeable with the Q2, to keep inventory costs down.
460cc is good and cup face is desireable. Many of my associates are weekend golfers and the ability to keep the ball in play and not sacriface distance is a big selling point.
The elongated shape just turn me off. I am hunting used driver with pear shape just to stop using my Hibore XL.
I don't care what is at the sole as I cannot see them. A square face with pear shape or water droplet contour when view from the plan view helps me to address and my mind at ease.
I think it is tough to have rearward CG at the same time but you gentlemen have to be innoviative and work harder.
Wt. screw or heavy head, 44″ length is good. 460cc, cup face+vft, 6-4 titanium is fine if sticking to .830 core limit. Tall face or 9D-lower loft option good as I have a high trajectory. Is USGA rules .830 core in center of face? What about face design that is .830 in center and is a higher core above the center of the face?
this has to be one of the ugliest. If some one wants this driver design they should wait just a few months and the Callaway Diablo will be reduced to make it a saleable driver and this way Hireko can save alot of money also. DONT MAKE THIS DRIVER, EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
Jack Romain :If you are making a game improvement driver, then 460cc size and variable thickness cup face should be used as well as standard 6-4 titanium for the cost savings. Now if you were making MY ideal driver….
I agree with the the red stripe leave it off! will make it look cheap. keep it simple the weight screw idea any more is kind of a joke!! head size 440-460 ok carbon or mag top is the way to go and try not to make it look like some other companies club make it your own club not a clone type the acer xk and caiman drivers are great they look uniqe 9.5 degree to 14 would be ideal 6-4 ti is ok. nice gloss black or maybe even a deep burgandy almost black in color. catchy name to the thriver seems corny
Performance is just as important as appearance. Head shape is okay, but graphics are cheesy.
I agree with Steve J. leave off the red stripe. Also, every single driver in your line-up should have a 9.5 degree because it gives you credibility…if you don't have a 9.5, then you aren't seen as mainstream. I believe you should have an all black driver with the pvd finish (low-handicap, as in hitting from the tips), a chrome silver "special edition", A "white driver" – and I mean white in color or ivory, or ceramic or something (mid-handicap or hitting from white tees) and a blue for high handicap. The color scheme should be about 92% solid…with the other 8% consisting of a logo, maybe a strong graphic or something but no big freakin stripes like on your mock up….just a clean look…In fact just put an enlarged logo and maybe a couple of strips or arrows…(if you want a point of reference check my site for the nickent Special Edition Driver…it is sweet. I think having a draw model is great…Oh, check the adams golf site http://www.adamsgolf.com..they have a set of gun metal colored irons that are out of this world…not that I buy or sell them cuz I don't but I think it is something to think about.
Hi Jeff
My comments as follows,
Cup face for sure…
460 cc for sure…
6/4 ti is ok as well…
I like the screw for $4. Swingweight remains important. Custom fitting is the current theme and adjustability fits that niche
Racing stripe… Seems to be a love it or hate it… This is a game improvement head from the specs. The racing stripe is a great visual for the proper swingpath…inside/out…. But here would be my concern… Paint quality. The metallic paint used on XK drivers is nice, but combine this with say the red paint used on the bottom of the SQ2 driver or Caiman and it would really look cheap. Maybe a more subtle Ping style of hologram or really nice quality finish will make the difference between a dud and desirable look.
Can we have these in stock next week???? Ha!
Best regards and nice job so far….
Are you making progress on the Thriver?
I'd love to try it out- minus the racing stripe.
Racing stripe – NO!
Assymmetrical shape – NO!
Simply, anything that is atracting attention at address is distracting. I remember this well from the insert in the crown of the Ping Rapture.
To put it another way: go with the shape in your diagram and I wouldn't touch it. a) I don't like assymmetrical, and b) everyone will simply scorn it as a Diablo-clone. DON'T DO IT!
460cc and cup face & VFT. Make this a performer! Off-centre forgiveness is a very high priority for the market this is aimed at.
Square or round? How about squarish? ;o) By which I mean: take the line from the hosel (as looking at the crown in your diagram) to the rear corner. Repeat the same line/angle from the toe the corresponding rear corner. Then join up the two. It makes the club head distinctive in it's own right, and retains symmetry.
Hosel position. The diagram looks to have a slightly offset hosel. Maybe better is to have the hosel pushed right up to the corner, right on the limit of, but not, offset. The Ping Raptuure 13.5° is a perfect example of this (and one of the straightest drivers I ever played).
The stripe has to go.
Cup face is good.
A screw isn't necessary.
Less than 460cc is OK as long as performance isn't compromised.
When this discussion started I thought the head might end up similar to the Wishon 505F/D which is 200cc. Something between this and 460cc would be fine.
I would like to the study that supports cup face technology. I am a traditionalist and do not support the 'spring-like effect'.Simply the ball is not flung from the clubface, it springs free of the clubface. Anything in the way of studies that support the spring-like theory would perhaps change my view. In addition, the people responding should indicate their credibility, i.e. engineer, weekend golfer, etc. While any and all responses are good, there has to be something more then marketing.

Singapore Sling
|IBA Official Cocktail
|Mixed drink
|Primary alcohol by volume
|Straight up; without ice
|Standard garnish
|Standard drinkware
|Highball glass
|IBA specified ingredients*
|Pour all ingredients into cocktail shaker filled with ice cubes. Shake well. Strain into highball glass. Garnish with pineapple and cocktail cherry.
|* Singapore Sling recipe at International Bartenders Association
The Singapore Sling is a South-East Asian cocktail. This long drink was developed sometime before 1915[1] by Ngiam Tong Boon, a Hainanese bartender working at the Long Bar in Raffles Hotel Singapore. It was initially called the gin sling,[2] - a sling was originally an American drink composed of spirit and water, sweetened and flavored.[3]
D. A. Embury stated in the Fine Art of Mixing Drinks: "Of all the recipes published for [this drink] I have never seen any two that were alike." The Times described the "original recipe" as mixing two measures of gin with one of cherry brandy and one of orange, pineapple and lime juice [4] An alternative "original recipe" used gin, Cherry Heering, Bénédictine, and fresh pineapple juice, primarily from Sarawak pineapples which enhance the flavor and create a foamy top.
Most recipes substitute bottled pineapple juice for fresh juice; soda water has to be added for foam. The hotel's recipe was recreated based on the memories of former bartenders and written notes that they discovered regarding the original recipe. One of the scribbled recipes is still on display at the Raffles Hotel Museum.
Recipes published in articles about Raffles Hotel before the 1970s are significantly different from current recipes, and Singapore Slings drunk elsewhere in Singapore differ from the recipe used at Raffles Hotel.
The current Raffles Hotel recipe is a heavily modified version of the original, most likely changed sometime in the 1970s by Ngiam Tong Boon's nephew. Today, many of the Singapore Slings served at Raffles Hotel have been pre-mixed and are made using an automatic dispenser that combines alcohol and pineapple juice to pre-set volumes. They are then blended instead of shaken to create a foamy top as well as to save time because of the large number of orders. However, it is still possible to request a shaken version from bartenders.
By the 1980s, the Singapore Sling was often little more than gin, bottled sweet and sour, and grenadine. With the move towards fresh juices and the re-emergence of quality products like Cherry Heering, the cocktail has begun to resemble its original version.[5]
Gin slings[edit]
The gin sling, attested from 1790, described an American drink of gin flavoured, sweetened and served cold.[6] The Singapore sling has been documented as early as 1930 as a recipe in the Savoy Cocktail Book; Ingredients ¼ lemon juice, ¼ Dry Gin, ½ Cherry Brandy: "Shake well and strain into medium size glass, and fill with soda water. Add 1 lump of ice".[7]

This example shows how to infer residuals from a fitted ARIMA model. Diagnostic checks are performed on the residuals to assess model fit.
The time series is the log quarterly Australian Consumer Price Index (CPI) measured from 1972 to 1991.
|On this page…
Step 2. Plot the sample ACF and PACF.
Step 3. Estimate an ARIMA(2,1,0) model.
Step 4. Perform residual diagnostic checks.
Load the Australian CPI data. Take first differences, then plot the series.
load Data_JAustralian Y = Dataset.PAU; N = length(Y); dY = diff(Y); figure plot(2:N,dY) xlim([0,N]) title('Differenced Australian CPI')
The differenced series looks relatively stationary.
Step 2. Plot the sample ACF and PACF.
Plot the sample autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation function (PACF) to look for autocorrelation in the differenced series.
figure subplot(2,1,1) autocorr(dY) subplot(2,1,2) parcorr(dY)
The sample ACF decays more slowly than the sample PACF. The latter cuts off after lag 2. This, along with the first-degree differencing, suggests an ARIMA(2,1,0) model.
Step 3. Estimate an ARIMA(2,1,0) model.
Specify, and then estimate, an ARIMA(2,1,0) model. Infer the residuals for diagnostic checking.
model = arima(2,1,0); fit = estimate(model,Y); [res,~,LogL] = infer(fit,Y);
ARIMA(2,1,0) Model: -------------------- Conditional Probability Distribution: Gaussian Standard t Parameter Value Error Statistic ----------- ----------- ------------ ----------- Constant 0.0100723 0.00328015 3.07069 AR{1} 0.212059 0.0954278 2.22219 AR{2} 0.337282 0.103781 3.24994 Variance 9.23017e-05 1.11119e-05 8.30659
Notice that the model is fit to the original series, and not the differenced series. The model object to be fit, model, has property D equal to 1. This accounts for the one degree of differencing.
This specification assumes a Gaussian innovation distribution. infer returns the value of the loglikelihood objective function (Logl) along with the residuals (res).
Step 4. Perform residual diagnostic checks.
Standardize the inferred residuals, and check for normality and any unexplained autocorrelation.
stdr = res/sqrt(fit.Variance); figure subplot(2,2,1) plot(stdr) title('Standardized Residuals') subplot(2,2,2) hist(stdr) title('Standardized Residuals') subplot(2,2,3) autocorr(stdr) subplot(2,2,4) parcorr(stdr)
The residuals appear uncorrelated and approximately normally distributed. There is some indication that there is an excess of large residuals.
Step 5. Modify the innovation distribution.
To explore possible excess kurtosis in the innovation process, fit an ARIMA(2,1,0) model with a Student's t distribution to the original series. Return the value of the loglikelihood objective function so you can use the Bayesian information criterion (BIC) to compare the fit of the two models.
model.Distribution = 't';
[fitT,~,LogLT] = estimate(model,Y);
[~,bic] = aicbic([LogLT,LogL],[5,4],N)
ARIMA(2,1,0) Model: -------------------- Conditional Probability Distribution: t Standard t Parameter Value Error Statistic ----------- ----------- ------------ ----------- Constant 0.00997461 0.00161523 6.17535 AR{1} 0.326885 0.0755029 4.32943 AR{2} 0.187194 0.0746899 2.50628 Variance 0.000247221 0.000746319 0.331253 DoF 2.25935 0.955607 2.36431 bic = -492.5317 -479.4691
The model with the t innovation distribution has one extra parameter (the degrees of freedom of the t distribution).
According to the BIC, the ARIMA(2,1,0) model with a Student's t innovation distribution is the better choice because it has a smaller (more negative) BIC value.

Tom Crean used Twitter Tuesday to try landing a job for one of the Indiana basketball program's assistants.
Aaron Weaver has given IU 5 great years, including now as our Video Coord. He is as good as any we have ever had. He is ready to move.
— Tom Crean (@TomCrean) April 9, 2013
Aaron really wants a operations or Administrative job in college or pro sports. I need some leads. firstname.lastname@example.com to help me help him.
— Tom Crean (@TomCrean) April 9, 2013
According to his bio on Twitter, Weaver is a grad student at Indiana and a graduate assistant for the basketball team. Maybe Crean didn't have any room to give him a job on staff, so this is his way of trying to help out the kid.
Pretty cool gesture by the coach, right? I can't think of too many others who would openly tweet like that in an effort to get a graduate assistant a job. But Crean also is a lot different from most coaches.Google+

Press release submitted by CASI- Center for Active Seniors Inc.
Since 2009, government funding to non-profit organizations that provide human services has been in steady decline, forcing these service organizations to change much of their funding strategies or face a reduction in their ability to provide critical services to their communities. Competition amongst non-profits for the "donated" dollar is extreme: How can an individual not-for profit make itself standout from the crowd to garner more support and exposure plus increase donor dollars?
Known for their "outside the box" fundraising programs, senior center CASI (Center for Active Seniors, Inc.) in Davenport, Iowa, has" brewed" the prefect fundraising plan.
CASI has teamed up with a regional microbrewery, Great River Brewery, to create a new beer dedicated to seniors and senior services. The results: Owney Irish Red Ale. Owney, an old Irish name for "elderly" is being released in retail locations throughout the Quad Cities the week of February 4th. Proceeds from the sale of Owney Irish Red Ale will be used by CASI to fund services for seniors in the Quad City community. Additionally, distributors Vanguard Distributing Co. and Stern Beverages are providing marketing materials used to promote awareness of CASI's programs and services.
Then on March 9, a formal tapping event is planned at Great River Brewery (332 E 2nd St., Davenport) beginning at 1:00 p.m. Area senior centers and the general public are invited to join in the festivities. Food will be provided by The Fountains Senior Living Community of Bettendorf.
We all have a senior in our life that needs our help. So toast CASI with a pint of Owney and support our senior services!
Founded in 1973, CASI is a multi-service nationally accredited senior center providing a variety of social, educational, support and wellness programs and activities designed for adults over the age of 60 and their families/caregivers.

- tasty joint in BellmoregregfurnituremavenVIPDined on 7/26/2014Great food (why bother with the bread though) and service. Big portions at fair prices. Entertainment too. "Ill be back."Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food and Music!OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 7/11/2014My wife and I shared the stuffed artichoke appetizer. It got better and better as we ate towards the center! Delicious. She had sautéed shrimp, I had seafood Fra-Diavolo over angel hair and we really enjoyed it! The Tartuffo had no flavor and my wife's favorite, Italian Cheesecake was not to her liking. The service was very good. The drinks from the bar were good. Then the band began to play. They were a very talented group. They played a nice variety of classic American pop songs! We really enjoyed them. They were a trio called 'Time Out'. It was a pleasant surprise for what we thought would be a typical Friday night dinner. We'd definitely do it again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Classic Italian CuisineOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/5/2014Classic old-fashioned Italian restaurant. Good Food, large servings, moderate prices. Only negative comment is that the bread was kind of bland and not fresh.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OkDinerDined on 6/3/2014Food was good, price was right it was a special promo throwback to the 1980's prices Atmosphere was nice, service was rude, we arrived at 8:45 which was our reservation time and the waiter was so rude telling us they close at 9

- Great Restaurant !OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 5/29/2014We continue to go to this Restaurant whenever we go to a concert in the area. Food is fantastic and the selections are top notch. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. I had the rack of lamb and my wife had the Salmon...both were superb. The desert was just an apple pie but it was baked with a delicious crust and ice cream made it excellentSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Neighborhood WinnerSonnyDined on 5/24/2014Antonette's is a quality establishment and we were glad we took a chance. Everything was tasty from the stuffed artichoke to the huge portions of pasta and to the chicken entrees we had. They accommodate kids too. The decor is simple and a little dated w pics of Frankie, Liz Taylor and old Hollywood. Staff was nice but could use some polishing to remove the rough edges. All in all, no regrets. We were treated very well and would return for a family meal again. This was a pleasant find and a cut above.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Fun Time was Had by All!!RosemaryDined on 5/17/2014We had a great time with our friends! The food was good and the entertainment was TERRIFIC!! We'll be back!!Special Features:
- YumFuntimesDined on 4/26/2014Met friends, food was great, service very friendly and had funSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- gas leak?OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 2/28/2014Upon entering the restaurant, it smelled like there was a natural gas leak. We inquired and were told they looked into the matter and it's ok. The smell was overpowering the whole evening. It made us uncomfortable and we won't be going back
- DecentFriendlyDined on 2/22/2014Good food & attentive service. Old World and old style. Decor & bathrooms need serious updating. Good musician on Sat. but night a bit too loud for normal table conversation, although volume was toned down when requested. Mostly a more mature crowd, but with some basic improvements it might attract a younger clientele. All in all, a decent neighborhood establishment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great birthday celebrationJamieDined on 2/21/2014I went to celebrate my birthday & had an amazing time as I did back in January celebrating my boyfriend birthdaySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sucker for music while diningDuetDined on 2/14/2014The couple singing and a rose to each table was a nice touch. The food was good but there could have been more and they have to work on a better selection for the bread they serve.Special Features:
- ConsistentBlazeDined on 2/14/2014We have experienced two of the Antonette's restaurants. The food is always good. Music is a nice touch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We have wanted to go to Antonette'sJASTDined on 2/7/2014We have wanted to go to Antonette's fro a long time -- finally made it and it did not disappoint. Beautifull decor, friendly staff and delicipus food. Can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- There were four of us. ThreebeazlyDined on 2/1/2014There were four of us. Three dishes were very good but the grilled shrimp were overcooked and dried out. Service was poor. Our waiter was very inattentive and aloof. May have been due to the fact that he had a large party seated right next to us and he was overwhelmed. Very noisy, which was fine for my group but not if you're looking for a quiet evening.Special Features:
- I would not recommend thisOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 1/25/2014I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Service was horrible. They started flashing the lights at 11pm to leave on a Saturday night. Dishes and glasses were dropped, very long wait between courses. Man going from table to table trying to sell flowers .Rug and menus were dirty. Brought out dessert and never remembered the coffee.
- I'll Be BackDerekDined on 1/24/2014Positive dining experience. Food was good...Service was good...Restrooms were clean.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We went to the restaurantluvtodanceDined on 12/31/2013We went to the restaurant for New Years Eve. The food was delicious with a good variety to choose from. The music was great with a live band and lively crowd.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- disapppintmentjaneVIPDined on 12/20/2013Een to u restaurant 4 times. My food good but calamari and artichoke hard som e friends food not good and veggies dried up. Setvice not good. Waiter didn't come around as often. I did give free coffee and dessert. That is the least. We were getting charged for extra wine. Also music much too loud
- Dinner for 7RoniDined on 12/13/2013We were a group of seven. We were the only ones in the restaurant for the first hour and a half. The service was painfully slow. Dinner took 3 hours. Four people in our group ordered the same Dessert and they could only accommodate three.We started our meal at 5pm on a Friday night. We felt like we were being ignored. Had to flag down staff for attention. Dinner came to $65 A head. For that money I expect a lot more.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing Place To DineElleAgantDined on 11/28/2013I cannot say one negative word about my experience here. It is not hit or miss either because I have eaten here a few times now, and have not once had a bad experience. The food is delicious, very generous portions, and the service is great as well as the atmosphere. Recently had Thanksgiving dinner here and every family member loved it. Can't wait to go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another great meal@AntonetteslovetoeatDined on 11/23/2013We come for special occasions, we come for Saturday nights. Always a great meal. When they have live music, (which is almost every Sat) it's very special. They make food how you want it! Of course they have a menu, but theyll gladly make anything you want even if its not on the menu. They were packed on this particular night and if not for Opentable, I wouldve been eating at the bar. We arrived early and after a momentary wait we were seated right away, and before our reservation time despite the fact the restraunt was completely full. It pays to make reservations online! Will definetly be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Entertainment NitefrequentdinnerguyDined on 11/7/2013We have brought friends on a few occasions to enjoy the sounds of a great male/female duet called Starstruck. I would plan my trips to Antonettes around that type of evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Loved the food. Been hereAnttDined on 10/5/2013Loved the food. Been here several times and restaurant never disappoints. Highly recommend chicken travolta, eggplant rollatine as well as the pan seared scallops. Wide variety of choices. Food is fresh, tasty and delicious. Wait staff is very attentive. Never rushed. Hostess very friendly. Overall atmosphere is very pleasing. Entertainment on saturday evening is dining appropriate. Pleasant background music. Look forward to my next visitSpecial Features:
- Great neighborhood restaurantMaureenDined on 9/27/2013Originally decided to go to Antonettes to see the band that was playing. Not only was the band great but the food was superb. Highly recommend. Can't wait to go back for a "girls night out"!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Old schoolOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/14/2013Very good food... All dishes prepared well. Service was just ok..could gave been better. The Saturday night singer was very good, but WAY too loud for dinner. It was more like a concert hall. Would def go back though... For the food .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food and entertainment placeOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/13/2013Thought the food was excellent. We went for the entertainment, as we knew one of the band members. Would go back again even on a night without entertainment. We would actually go again for the entertainment but would sit in the back room.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really well doneEatOutOftenDined on 9/13/2013Tried for the first time Friday night and could not have asked for a better meal.Special Features:
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 8/24/2013Food really wasn't that great and service well 2 or 3 different people waited on us but really lost track of what was going on. Dinner took a really long time to be served. I would not return.
- Made like Mama's FoodLuv2eatoutVIPDined on 8/10/2013Took special orders from a picky group and everyone was delighted with their dish. Service was a cut-above for my Aunt's 77th Birthday.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice restaurantJerryDined on 8/9/2013Greta food, music The best Filet Mignon I've ever tasted.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Convenient RestaurantDWBCPAVIPDined on 6/22/2013Host was excellent. Waitress appeared to be unexperienced. She took away two of our main dish plates while the 3rd person was still eating. Food was OK. May go back since this is a in a convenient location and give it another try.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NoisySwordfishDined on 5/18/2013I understand that parties are part of the services you provide but perhaps a door instead of a curtain to separate the party room from the main dining area? There was a children's party in full swing 15 feet from where we were seated and I must say it wasn't very pleasant for those on my side of the curtain. Shouting over the din is not what one expects when dining with friends and there was no way to know that we'd be entering at a time when a party was held. It will probably make me think twice before coming again, lest another surprise awaits us. At least I will ask about any party the next time I wish to entertain friends at your restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great as usual! The food,OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 4/26/2013Great as usual! The food, the atmosphere, the "service!, our waiter Andrew goes beyond the call of duty, he is exceptional.

We had a very nice dinner, the service was attentive, and the music and dancing made for a fun time. I would definitely recommend Antonette's and would welcome another opportunity to dine there in the future.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- An Ohio school where three students were killed earlier this year in a shooting spree is bringing in extra counselors following the mass shooting at a Connecticut school.
Steven Kofol, assistant to the Chardon schools superintendent, says the counselors will be available to students and staff Monday at the school east of Cleveland.
Kofol says the district has had extra counselors since the shooting last February in the high school cafeteria, but these will be in addition to those.
The murder trial for suspect T.J. Lane begins next month.

ESA astronaut Paolo Nespoli works on the wind station in the Sa Grutta cave's so-called "4th Wind" narrow massage. Paolo joined a group of six international astronauts on ESA's CAVES 2013 campaign in Sardinia, Italy. During CAVES, an abbreviation for Cooperative Adventure for Valuing and Exercising human behaviour and performance Skills, six astronauts spend two weeks deep in caves, in the dark and cold. They are separated from the outside world, doing scientific research and daily tasks together, as a group, just like in space. Moving in the cave system is also comparable to spacewalking with the use of harnesses and safety devices.

In this Hubble Space Telescope composite image taken in April 2013, the sun-approaching Comet ISON floats against a seemingly infinite backdrop of numerous galaxies and a handful of foreground stars. The icy visitor, with its long gossamer tail, appears to be swimming like a tadpole through a deep pond of celestial wonders.
In this composite image, background stars and galaxies were separately photographed in red and yellow-green light. Because the comet moved between exposures relative to the background objects, its appearance was blurred. The blurred comet photo was replaced with a single, black-and-white exposure.
The images were taken with the Wide Field Camera 3 on April 30, 2013.
This photo is one of the original images featured on ISONblog, a new online source offering analysis of Comet ISON by Hubble Space Telescope astronomers and staff at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, USA.
A pair of 3D-printed replicas of the glove worn by ESA astronaut Hans Schlegel while spacewalking, one lifesize and one at one-tenth scale. These models were produced using fused deposition modelling of thermoplastic by ESA's Mechanical Workshop based at ESTEC in Noordwijk the Netherlands.
This image was taken on 4 January 2013 over central Athens, the capital and largest city of Greece. Near the centre of the image is the famous Acropolis of Athens – standing high about the surrounding city as evident by the shadow to the north. Nearby to the southeast is the Temple of Zeus, with shadows from the remaining standing columns stretching across the grass. Further northeast are the National Gardens surrounding the Zappeion building. At the upper left corner of the gardens is the Greek parliament building overlooking Syntagma Square. In the lower-right corner we can see the large, white marble Panathenaic Stadium.

Mission logo for ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst's mission to the International Space Station set for 2014: Blue Dot.
This animation represents the evolutionary process of a pulsar as it swings between X-ray and radio emission. The pulsar (left) is in a binary system with a low-mass star as a companion (right). The two objects orbit around their mutual centre of gravity; for clarity, this motion is not shown in the animation.
At the beginning of the animation, the pulsar spins very fast emitting two narrow beams of radio waves (shown in purple). Over several million years this rotation gradually slows down. Eventually, the gravitational pull of the pulsar starts drawing matter from the companion star. As the pulsar accretes matter via an accretion disc, it gains angular momentum and its rotation becomes extremely rapid again.
During the accretion process, the high density of accreted matter damps out the radio emission and is seen only in X-rays (shown as wide, white beams). When the accretion rate decreases, the pulsar's magnetosphere expands and pushes matter away. As a consequence, the X-ray emission becomes weaker, while the radio emission intensifies.
The pulsar swings back and forth between the two states several times over several hundreds of millions of years until it final slows down to become a purely radio-emitting pulsar, while its companion star has evolved into a white dwarf.

Many countries are really pushing to ban formula advertising some have already made formula marketing illegal. Keyword: advertising. Not formula itself, nor peoples' ability to choose/use it. They're banning the commercials, ads in baby and pregnancy magazines, coupons from your OB or with your maternity clothes, and the free samples that show up in your mailbox because someone sold your name to a formula company. You know, they're just looking to stop the constant bombardment of "formula formula formula!" that moms face.
Formula companies list "Breast is best" somewhere small and easy to overlook, instead of sharing the many benefits why it is best. I find that comparing formula freebies to a dieter having chocolate cake can help people really understand the issue.
Mmm ... chocolate cake. All nice and moist and fudge-like. Everyone's got their food or dessert that if it's there, you will eat it. Maybe you've got the willpower to wait until after dinner, and maybe you won't take a tiny piece here and there as you walk by. If you put it in the cabinet or fridge, maybe you can forget it's there during the day.
Well, except if every time you open a cookbook or cooking magazine, or log on to a cooking website to find healthy recipes, there is chocolate cake everywhere. Reminding you how you can always eat healthy tomorrow, or later, but chocolate cake has dairy and eggs and stuff, and makes you happy, and what makes you happy is totally important, right? Oh yeah, you were looking for health food? It's here on the page, but you have to look past the chocolate cake splattered all over the page, even in video creeping down in front of your eyes. Cooking shows interrupt healthy eating shows to show chocolate cake, and even if you know you shouldn't eat it, especially if you're working hard to lose weight or eat healthy, it still nags at you when it's everywhere.
Go to the grocery store for healthy food, and they're handing out samples. Aaah, so hard to resist! And even if you take some home, promising you'll just wait, you know it's there, so when you've had a bad day, or want some quick treat, it practically calls your name. EAT ME! We know chocolate cake isn't bad, of course, and neither are people who eat it. But if you're trying hard to lose weight and eat healthy, the last thing you need is to have free chocolate cake samples show up at your doorstep. Talk about sabotage. Most dieters say, "I just don't buy it because then I'd eat it!" right?
Okay, I'm making light, but the thing is, most women only get information on formula from formula companies, since their advertisements are impossible to avoid. And because of that, women are NOT fairly educated when they go to make a feeding choice. While people will spout off "DHA and ARA are good for brain growth!", an advertising ploy formula companies use that is not proven by science, yet they can't tell you the proper way to mix formula to prevent bacterial contamination or illness, or why preemies shouldn't have powdered formula (if they even know that). Women are not getting good information on breastfeeding or formula feeding.
Woman who have formula in the house are much more likely to quit breastfeeding much earlier than women who weren't given formula ... or even formula coupons. Even the Surgeon General supports enforcing the WHO Code, trying to lessen the impact of the major social influence from advertising. It's not about trying to take away peoples' choice to formula feed, it's about making sure every mom who wants to breastfeed or considers can learn from honest, non-biased sources to make the best decision for herself, and also have support instead of sabotage if she chooses to breastfeed, know how to balance both if she chooses without losing her breastmilk supply, and how to safely formula feed if that is still what she choses.
Do you believe the multimillion dollar advertising industry affects consumers?

love this post!!!
I chose not to breastfeed, and have been SO thankful for all of the coupons and free samples! I am the only one of my friends who did not breastfeed, and they all received the same coupons and samples that I did. It didn't influence them or their decision to breast feed at all. It did however help me because I got three times the coupons! :)
Really sick of this conversation too.
1. You presume that most women are too dumb to do their own research and make an informed decision and are instead lured by the wily formula makers. Get off your high horse and promote education, not mindless bans. Give women the credit for knowing how google works, and support independent research that honestly gives the pros and cons of breast vs. formula in a real-world application.
2. You ignore the fact that many women CHOSE to formula feed for reasons (that aside from being none of your business) that have been carefully weighed. Heaping guilt on new moms over a perfectly valid choice is just mean.
3. Adoptive parents, myself included, who have gone through years of infertility issues only to be blessed with a baby don't need this crap. I'd have loved to been able to breast feed, and would have, but in my parenting situation but I can't. I'm grateful for the samples and savings from the formula companies because it is more money in my pocket, and a chance to see what brands my baby tolerates well.
it's ridiculous to think that the american public can't think for themselves. if they are that slow in the brain that they can't make a decision and stick with it breastmilk isn't going to help their offspring. there's nothing wrong with marketing their product that isn't hurting anyone. there are plenty of smart, balanced children that were formula fed, i am sick of the ideas that formula is poison and those who use it are selfish and vile. i do bf by the way and supplement with formula.
I agree with the last to people. I don't think it influences people as much as it saves them money if they can't bf. I breastfed both my children, but when my son was 4 mo old I had surgery that kept me drugged up for 2 weeks and my milk dried up. My wonderful husband had to formula feed him and I had to after I got better. I love breastfeeding and would have loved to do it longer for my son, but it just didn't work out.
