Massport Proposes New and Amended Capital Programs Projects to Boston Logan's Passenger Facility Charge Program
The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) is applying to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for authority to use the amount of passenger facility charges (PFCs) collected from certain enplaning passengers at Boston Logan Airport International Airport in order to pay for certain specified airfield and terminal projects at Logan.
In accordance with FAA regulations, Massport's Airline PFC Consulation Booklet dated February 10, 2014 regarding Massport's intent to file an application with the FAA to increase the impose and use amounts at Logan, is available online for review and public comment. Massport's Airline Consultation Meeting Presentation made to air carriers operating at Boston Logan on February 6, 2014 is also available. Members of the public are encouraged to submit comments concerning Massport's proposed PFC application via e-mail to Betsy Taylor or by postal mail to:
Ms. Betsy Taylor
Director of Finance & Treasury
Massachusetts Port Authority
One Harborside Drive, Suite 200S
East Boston, MA 02128
To be included for consideration, all comments must be received by March 14, 2014.
Boston Logan Consolidated Rental Car Facility
The main purpose of the Consolidated Rental Car facility, known as the "ConRAC", is to consolidate all airport-related rental operations and facilities into one integrated facility and to reduce the number of shuttle buses on airport roadways. The project consists of replacing and upgrading a myriad of existing ground transportation uses in the area of the airport known as the Southwest Service Area to be more efficient, environmentally friendly and to improve customer service. The Conrac will be a LEED certified four level garage with approximately 1.3 million square feet of parking, office and check in space.
The Green Bus Depot Project
The Green Bus Depot will maintain Logan Airport's new fleet of clean-fuel buses.The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified bus storage and maintenance facility will be used to implement Massport's Unified Bus System that replaces and consolidates existing rental car agency buses with Massport's own fleet of 18 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) shuttle buses. The new system will serve Logan's four passenger terminals, the Consolidated Rental Car Facility (ConRAC), and the MBTA's Airport Station with clean-fuel buses. The Unified Bus System and Green Bus Depot will offer significant environmental benefits by eliminating approximately 94 existing, diesel-powered rental car buses, and replace them with 32 clean diesel-electric hybrid ones. The new depot will reduce off-airport bus trips currently required for fueling and bus maintenance, thereby reducing traffic in East Boston and Chelsea neighborhoods, and congestion on airport roadways.

CFA with Bayesian estimation
Mplus Discussion
Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Paul A.Tiffin
posted on Saturday, November 06, 2010 - 12:22 pm
Dear Team,
I really appreciate the new Bayesian features in Mplus 6.1.
However, I have a quick query: I am struggling to achieve convergence (psr<=1) when using Bayesian estimation with informative priors on a CFA. As with ML, would adding plausible starting values to the model help achieve convergence?
Many Thanks
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Saturday, November 06, 2010 - 12:49 pm
Yes, it does. You can also try using STVALUES = ML in the ANALYSIS command. I typically don't see that much of convergence problems with Bayes. An exception of course is if the model is not identified, or identified only with informative priors and they have too large variances.

Have you noticed shorter estimation times in very complex models using such empirical priors? They would seem to reduce the need for a substantial burn in phase.

Not sure what you mean here. What is the "third example"? What type of measurement invariance are you interested in - across Within-Between?
Run23 is a MIMIC model with cross-loadings and direct effects which it doesn't look like you are after.
luk bruyneel
posted on Friday, April 26, 2013 - 12:15 am
Thanks for your prompt reply. The main covariate of interest is 'func'. This is coded as 0 for staff and 1 for their chiefs (with exactly one chief in each unit). I see that the factor means of chiefs are for all but one factor on the within level significantly higher. Now I want to know that I'm not comparing apples and oranges like Linda says in the webvideo. The 'third example' I use for reference is 'Study 3: Direct effects in MIMIC modeling' from the BSEM paper, from which you concluded 'This illustrates the importance of allowing for all possible direct effects using informative, small-variance priors.' How can I implement this in my model?
Also, since I use RANDOM, is there no way to reproduce Table 23 from the BSEM paper? So I stick to EFA for the factor loadings confer Table 22 of your paper?
Thanks in advance,
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, April 26, 2013 - 2:04 pm
BSEM MIMIC modeling can be done in line with the UG ex 5.32. Because you consider func as the covariate, you would apply this input to the Within level.
Even if you use RANDOM in your setup above, you would still get estimated loadings on each level because the random aspect is only for the regression slopes of the regressions of the factors on func.

Thank you, that helped a lot. My final model is a two-level Bayesian mimic model with cross-loadings and direct effects with zero mean and small-variance priors. I have three questions related to this:
1. In my output I don't get PPC. What could be the reason?
2. Apologies, but I'm still confused what I can conclude from a mimic model regarding the factor structure across groups. In your 1989 Psychometrika paper (latent variable modeling in...) I read on page 563 that it allows an investigation of hypotheses of construct validity and invariance across subpopulations. I get the invariance part, but how does this relate to construct validity exactly? Is that because the direct effects of covariates on items are tested over and above the indirect effect via the factors? Or, in the Topic 1 slides (slide 175) it says that the model ASSUMES the same factor loadings, observed residual variances/covariances, factor variances and covariances for all levels of the covariates. Should I thus first do a MGCFA?
3. If I have multiple covariates I want to test, would you recommend first testing them all seperately, or immediately all together?
All the best,
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - 8:38 am
1. We have not yet implemented PPC for multilevel models.
2. I would forget about the construct validity issue here - you are testing for invariance. MIMIC assumes what you mention, but that doesn't mean you have to do MGFA to check that. Just look at the MIMIC approach as an approximate way to discover major non-invariance in the intercepts.
3. In MIMIC I would do them all together, which is the strength of MIMIC.

Hi dr. Muth�n,
I completed a study with a Bayesian 2-level MIMIC model. Covariates are at the lowest level. My findings are very interesting in that I find significant effects for the main covariate of interest on several latent variables. More concretely, I find that nurse managers compared to staff nurses have consistenty higher ratings of several aspects of nurses' work environment. One could say that nurse managers don't seem to grasp what is going on.
I hypothesize that this would lead to decreased wellbeing among nurses. So is there any way that I could model this (thus add an outcome variable to this model)?

Dear Team,
When doing Bayesian estimation, we often choose the inverse-wishart distribution when modeling the normal covariance matrix. But what if some of the variables are categorical? Does this case change the way we assign parameters to the IW distribution?
I have already referred to the User's Guide but did not see any information addressing this, so I came here to ask this question. Thank you!!
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Thursday, November 28, 2013 - 8:06 am
With categorical variables you can still use IW priors for say the factor covariance matrix Psi and the residual covariance matrix Theta (e.g. off-diagonal elements can be set to have zero-mean, small-variance priors). See also our technical papers on Bayes implementation in Mplus which are on our website.

Dear Bengt and Linda,
I am trying to run a Bayesian CFA model similar to the one shown in Table 15 of Muth�n & Asparouhov 2012 (Bayesian structural equation modeling: A more flexible representation of substantive theory. Psychological Methods, 17(3): 313�335); that is, one where residual covariances have inverse Wishart piors. I am basing my code on the code in run15.inp on your website. I have noticed in the code the following line that also assigns inverse Wishart piors with an estimate of 1 to the residual variances:
Could you explain why this is necessary? It is not explained in the article. I notice that when I leave it out, I get the following error:
Thanks for your help and this very useful site!
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Sunday, January 26, 2014 - 12:20 pm
You want to give priors for the whole covariance matrix, so not just the off-diagonal covariances but also the diagonal variances. Regarding the settings for the inverse Wishart, we recently posted the following on the variances, implying that the choice of IW(1,21) is not always the best.
Here is one way to think about the IW(Sigma,df) specification, where Sigma is the covariance matrix and df is the degrees of freedom. Denote the number variables of the covariance matrix by p. Our BSEM article appendix and wikipedia points out that df > p+1 makes the mean exist, so a weak prior may have df=p+2. A larger df makes the prior stronger. Furthermore, the mode is
mode = Sigma/(df+p+1).
So say that you want the mode to correspond to a variance of say v. Together with df=p+2, you can then solve for Sigma in IW(Sigma,df) as
Sigma = v*(2p+3).
For instance, p=10 and v=50 gives df=12 and Sigma = 50*23 = 1150, so IW(1150,12).

posted on Sunday, January 26, 2014 - 9:41 pm
Dear Bengt,
thanks for the thorough explanation. 3 followup questions:
1. Do you still recommend IW(0,p+2) for the covariances?
2. Is it correct to conclude from your post that if I give priors to any element in the var-covariance matrix I must give priors to all elements? Suppose I have a SEM with 50 observed variables and know that the measurement model of 2 LVs (each having 5 indicators) is problematic so want to use your methods of assigning IW priors to the 90 residual covariances between and 10 variances of their indicators. Do I have to assign IW priors to all 1225 covariances and 50 variances? Or is there a way to do so only for the part of the model that I believe to have problems?
3. Are cross-loadings with 0-mean normal priors required to make this work, or can I give IW priors to the covariance matrix without also giving priors to cross-loadings?
thanks for the help.
Tihomir Asparouhov
posted on Monday, January 27, 2014 - 10:55 am
1. Yes, but the DF parameter is usually varied for sensitivity analysis
2. You can assign only to those 90 residual covariances ( ... but to be accurate ... there are 45 covariances and 10 variances ... so you will be assigning a prior to 55 parameters).
3. You need priors for the cross loadings.
Tihomir Asparouhov
posted on Monday, January 27, 2014 - 2:43 pm
This is a clarification on 3. You need priors for unindentified cross loadings such as when all cross loadings are included. If you are using cross loadings that are identifiable (for example when only some cross loadings are included in the model) you don't need priors.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Monday, January 27, 2014 - 2:55 pm
And, the use of cross-loading priors is not tied to the use of IW priors.
'Alim Beveridge
posted on Sunday, February 09, 2014 - 7:47 pm
Thanks for all the guidance. A clarification question: does a smaller DF value for an IW prior mean a stricter (more informative) prior (as with a normal prior's variance) or does it mean a less informative prior?
'Alim Beveridge

Please ignore my above question. I see you already answered it in an earlier post: "a weak prior may have df=p+2. A larger df makes the prior stronger."
'Alim Beveridge
posted on Sunday, February 09, 2014 - 10:52 pm
Dear Bengt,
1. A followup question to your above post about an updated approach to setting IW priors for residual variances.
I am trying a Bayesian CFA model with 27 observed variables (all continuous) and 7 LVs. When I don't estimate residual covariances at all I get a very poor fit. If estimate all possible residual covariances following the example in your Muth�n & Asparouhov 2012 Psych Methods paper (resid variances have priors c1-c27~IW(1,29) and resid covariances have prios p1-p351~IW(0,29) ) I get good fit and in addition the loadings for most indicators on almost all LVs improve noticeably. In addition, 18 resid covariances are significant.
Then I try the new recommendation. Given that when I do not add priors the residual variances are in the range .2-.8 with most being around .5, I set the Sigma for resid variance priors to achieve a mode of .5: .5(27*2+3) = 28.5
However I get the following error for any Sigma > 3:
For Sigma = 2 or 3 the results are very similar to Sigma = 1.
Can you explain why the error occurs for Sigma > 3?
'Alim Beveridge
posted on Sunday, February 09, 2014 - 10:53 pm
This did not fit in the above give the size limits of posts:
2. In your paper you write, "An excellent-fitting model is expected to have a posterior predictive p value around .5 and an f statistic difference of zero falling close to the middle of the confidence interval."
When I use a Sigma = 1 for the resid variances I get the following fit:
Chi-sq diff 95% CI: (-99.122 56.210)
p= 0.726
How should I interpret this given that the CI is skewed towards the negative and that p > .5 rather then less than?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Monday, February 10, 2014 - 11:27 am
1. Send output and data to Support.
2. p = 0.726 is still a good fit. I don't think it is important that it is greater than .5.

Dear Dr. Muthen,
I am evaluating the factor structure of a 9-item scale via specifying 3 Bayes CFA models (one-factor, three-factor, and bifactor model with 1 general and 2 specific factors) using informative priors for the residual covariances. All of the 3 models show a good fit with PPP around .5.
1) My intention is to compare them via information criteria shown in the output. However, the DIC and BIC appear to show conflicting results:
1-factor model: DIC = 21017, BIC = 21344
3-factor model: DIC = 21008, BIC = 21494
bifactor model: DIC = 20714, BIC = 21684
The 1-factor model has the highest DIC but the lowest BIC. The bifactor model, on the other hand, has the lowest DIC but highest BIC. I know that BIC is favored over AIC in mixture modeling. Do you have a preference for using the DIC or BIC in comparing Bayesian CFA models?
2) The Estimated Number of Parameters (pD) is positive in the 1- or 3-factor CFA models but is negative (-248.970) in the bifactor model. Does this negative pD signify a problem for the bifactor model?
Many thanks and regards,
Tihomir Asparouhov
posted on Monday, April 21, 2014 - 12:45 pm
1) DIC tends to select over-fitted models (it is very similar to AIC).
2) Usually a large negative pD value signifies a problem. Try to diagnose it with the the traceplots for the parameters. Perhaps some kind of sign switching is happening. You can read section 3 in
for some ideas.
Ted Fong
posted on Sunday, April 27, 2014 - 9:02 am
Dear Dr. Asparouhov,
Thanks for your reply and expert opinions.
Following your advice, I checked the trace plots for the parameters in the bifactor model. Yes, the major loadings on the 2 specific factors showed some kind of sign switching and bimodal posterior distributions with wide 95% CI e.g. (-0.384, 0.877).
I have read section 3.1 of your paper but still am not clear on the cause and proper treatment of such unidentification problem.
1) I read from page 6 of your paper: "the only statistic that is not essentially distorted by the multiple modes is the mode of the posterior". Does this mean using POINT = MODE may help in this problem?
2) I tried constraining these major loadings to be greater than zero using model constraint. However, the model estimation did not terminate normally: UNABLE TO GENERATE PARAMETERS SATISFYING THE CONSTRAINTS. CHECK THE STARTING VALUES. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN CHAIN 2.
3) I also tried specifying informative priors e,g, N(0.3, 0.01) for these major loadings. This results in a pD of 42.938 for the model with no apparent sign switching. However, in Ex 5.31 of the UG, informative priors are specified only for cross-loadings but not major loadings. I am not sure adding informative priors is a correct way to tackle the issue.
I would be grateful if you would have any comments.

Dear Bengt, Linda and Tihomir, concerning the calculation of the DIC I stumbled upon the following questions: I observe differences between BIC and DIC in favoring a particular CFA model with approximate MI. The BIC seems to penalize the additional uncertainty reflected by the prior variance of the approximate invariance constraints stronger than the DIC. Is this difference based on the BICs stonger penalization of model complexity in general or is it based on a difference in the likelihood functions or both? Is the Bayesian loglikelihood an aggregation of loglikelihoods obtained from the posterior draws or from the final posterior? Thank you, Daniel.

It is due to BICs stonger penalization of model complexity. If you keep invariance parameters as equal you can expect to see more agreement between BIC and DIC. We use the final posterior for the computation of BIC and DIC.

Hi, Mplus team,
I wonder if there's a way to request Svalues with standardized estimates under the Bayes estimator? I fit CFA on a small sample and I'd like to first fit the Bayesian CFA and then use these estimates as the plausible values for WLMSV estimator.
Thank you!

The Portfolio Wallet is the only wallet I will carry. It meets my needs perfectly with the two picture pockets that can be seen when opened.
Great for driver's license in one pocket. Additional ID in the other. Excellent quality leather. Well constructed. Perfect size. Two good colors. Good value.
Ordering over telephone gave me excellent customer service.

What is a Turkey Shoot? Each team will consist of five members. One member may be an adult leader. Each shooter will shoot twenty-five clay pigeons. The shooter will fire one round at each target. Targets are provided; However each participant must provide his own shells and gun. Sharing of guns at the event slows down the process. Shells will also be available for purchase through the council while supplies last.

Cost: $45.00 per team (Maximum of 5 per team) through October 8, 2012 $50 per team after October 8 and at the door No refunds after Oct 8th Where: Great Salt Lake Gun Club @ The Lee Kay Center 6000 W 2100 S, Salt Lake City, Ut 84128
click here ----> Flyer Practice
We suggest teams practice before the turkey shoot. This will not only increase your chances of scoring well for the prizes, but will also give you an opportunity to learn gun safety in a less crowded atmosphere. Gun range orientaion will be mandatory before shooting.
What to Bring
1. Shotgun for each shooter 2. shotgun shells for each shooter (25) 3. Eye and Ear protections for each shooter 4. Registration Receipt 5. Warm clothes and a snack
At the Event:
Review Range Rules & etiquette Remember the three rules for safe gun handling 1. Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction 2. Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. 3.

Be familiar with the operation of your shotgun before attempting to use it. No horseplay on or near the firing line. No turkeys are harmed during this event.

Stay warm with an electric space heater
It can be expensive to heat a large house in the winter, when you only use a couple rooms at a time. If you don't have dual-zoned heating, you may benefit from the convenience of a portable space heater in your home. Much like electric fireplaces, electric and natural gas space heaters emit concentrated heat in occupied spaces so you can keep your central heating system at a lower temperature while you enjoy cozy warmth in your bedroom or living room. At Sears, you can find a variety of space heaters for your home.
When the weather is cool, and you want to enjoy an enclosed outdoor space, you may need a space heater to provide warmth. While outdoor heating options such as fire pits and patio heaters are ideal for patios, decks and porches, you can heat sunrooms and enclosed porches with electric space heaters. You can relax on your porch, warmed by the heat of a portable space heater.
Whether you're looking to warm an outdoor space or you want to keep your electric or gas bills down with small, portable space heaters, Sears has the best selection of space heaters. Stay warm and cozy with the comfortable heat of these portable appliances.

Hi All,
I just wanted to jump in and see how things go. I was a member here back in 2006 but got lured into ATS and didn't look back until now. I know...what's 6 years among friends???? Anyways, I was at ATS for awhile until I got banned and then went with some friends I met there who created The Shadow Conspiracy. It was a really awesome board until we all realized the owners were Communists and we didn't stand a chance! From there I split off with a couple friends and we created Truthseekers.something. That lasted a year or so. My last attempt at message boarding was when my friends and I created DangerousThoughts.net. That URL is now up for sale if anyone is interested I couldn't make it as a admin. I'm set in my ways but have very strong ties to those that befriend me.
Anyways....here I am and hoping to fit in once again by starting over.

Anyone can host! It's a fun way to connect with your friends, have a blast, make a difference and earn Hostess Rewards. You don't have to be the most outgoing of your crowd or the social center of your community. Be ready to… - Update your own accessory and home décor collection with FREE items from earning hostess rewards. - Help create sustainable income opportunities for artisans from around the world while enjoying the artistry of their designs. - Set aside about 2 hours to spend with your girlfriends, while getting styling tips from your Ambassador. Get excited about bringing the message of Noonday to your friends!
Fill out our "Host a Trunk Show" form online and we'll connect you with a local Ambassador.
It's fun! You invite your social circle, try on unique handmade jewelry, get styling tips from a Noonday Ambassador, and learn about artisans around the world who make our pieces, all while making a difference! Invite all your friends over for about 2 hours to chat, connect and find some new accessories to accent their wardrobe. Although Noonday has something for everyone – all styles and budgets – there is no pressure to buy anything.
Absolutely not! The beauty of the Noonday pieces your Ambassador will be sharing serves as the main attraction of the trunk show. A light snack, maybe some wine or juice, or simple cheese and cracker plate will do – it doesn't take much to bring your friends together. Your Ambassador will simply need a space to display her samples (like your kitchen table, counters or coffee table) and will bring everything else! Spend your time and efforts on inviting your friends and picking out your selections for your own Hostess Rewards.
All our items are handmade by artisans around the world. Your purchase helps to provide a sustainable income to the artisan who made it. Please visit our Impact section to read about the many countries and people behind Noonday's items.
We have something for everyone! Our pieces range from $12 to $220. We have a wide selection under $30 that is too cute to miss. We also feature designs that require detailed craftsmanship and as a result, have a higher price point. All our items are made with quality and love, so they look great from any price point!
All major credit cards are accepted. Checks and cash are accepted at the discretion of your Ambassador.
Your Noonday Ambassador will bring a beautiful sampling of the product line for you and your friends to browse and place orders. The Ambassador will then place each order through our website, and it will be delivered via USPS within 3 weeks. Every order ships directly to each customer, so Hosting is easy - you don't have to worry about anyone else's order!
New products are released in the spring and fall. All of our products are available online. However, the best way to experience the products is at a trunk show. Connect with your Ambassador to see this season's latest pieces in person and to try them on!
It is never too early to get something on the books! Your Ambassador will help you set a date. About 2-4 weeks in advance gives you plenty of time to: -spread the word with your friends -send out an evite/facebook invite/pingg or email -make a few phone calls for personal invitations -pass out some mini lookbooks and direct your friends to our website -pick out the items you want to get for FREE from your Hostess Rewards
Invite everyone! Over-inviting is the best way to fill your home with guests. Noonday Trunk Shows can be any size, but typically you'll want anywhere from 10-30 women to show up. You may have no idea which one of your friends is longing for a night with girlfriends! Don't forget to invite coworkers, neighbors, carpool moms, or your hairstylist and her community of friends. Personal invitations and phone calls will help rally your friends. Remember not to shy away from last minute invitations ("hey neighbor, want to join me tonight?"). Each guest gets to enjoy our unique shopping experience by shopping some very special products and learning more about the impact of those purchases on the life of the artisan who made it.
Check your calendar ahead of time for other big events, and then choose a date and invite your friends with confidence – you are going to show them something amazing and give them an incredible opportunity to shop and make a difference! There is never a perfect time when everyone can come. As an added convenience to our Hostesses, any guests that can't make it to your physical trunk show can shop online up until 5 days after your show and their purchases can go towards your show total. Your Ambassador can give you the details of how this works and ensure you receive credit for any online orders.
Your Ambassador will help you with a custom evite, pingg, Facebook image, or postcard that will be the perfect fit for you!
Definitely! Some good news for you – our displays don't have to spread across your home. A kitchen counter or coffee table can showcase the Noonday Collection. Not to mention, you and your friends can help model several pieces at a time. Tell your friends to choose their favorite pieces as they walk in the door…they may never want to take them off!
Absolutely. You can host a show anywhere you feel comfortable inviting your friends - a reserved area in a coffee shop, a workplace meeting room, teacher's lounge, park, or another friend's home. Our Ambassadors are flexible and creative and can work in just about any space you have available!
Of course! You can combine your social circles for an even bigger party and more sales. Then you can split your Hostess rewards.
Each Ambassador will bring her unique selection of samples that provide a diverse representation of the line. She will also have catalogs through which you can browse the current line. As well, the entire collection is available to view online.
By hosting, shopping and sharing, you're making a world of a difference in the lives of our artisans!
Your contact information will only be used to connect you with your local Ambassador.

Customer Review
"This is my second shampoo tin and I think they've redesigned it somehow. My first tin was very difficult to open (Sometimes almost impossible). I was surprised by this one however! It is very easy to open even with wet hands, and it keeps my bar secure-great for travel!"

The city was considered in 2010, one of the best places to live. Much is due to green areas, which are more than half of the metropolitan area of Vienna. Within the city there are almost two thousand parks and gardens. Outside, the areas of Prater Lobau the woods of Vienna are an invitation for hiking and biking.
Relaxing in a garden in the city center is quite easy in Vienna, by the many options that you have. To facilitate the choice, one can say that the Stadpark is one of the most important and glamorous, with huge lawns, lakes, flowers and the statue of Strauss, the King of Waltz. Other recommended parks for their beauty and monuments in honor of great Viennese figures are Volksgarten (with a monument dedicated to Sissi) and Burggarten (where tourists go, almost as a pilgrimage, to see the statue in Mozart). Just outside the center of Vienna is the Prater, a vast green area that was a royal hunting reserve until 1776 and today is one of the major parks that draw the Viennese for walks and picnics. Tourists can also sit down to eat on the grass, but there is a much more interesting attraction: a giant wheel that allows you see to the city from the sky. Known as Vienna jungle or the water forest, the Lobau is a national park with more than two thousand hectares that besides the plants and animals there are several activities available for visitors. The Vienna Woods are a "green lung" that UNESCO designated Biosphere Reserve in 2005, where you can play sports.

Episode Information
One of the nice things about this program is that we're not always thinking about the things everybody else in the news media is thinking about. In fact, we almost never are. But it is right that we check in, every so often, on the world of public policy and on some of the major debates gripping the nation right now. And I enjoy doing that with Congressman John Larson.
I've known him since his days in the state Senate. He is now the fourth-ranking Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives. The days when I could sneak into a party claiming I was John Larson -- which I once did -- are over. So we'll run through the hot buttons of the moment: jobs, health care, transportation.

Thankful to be in Cooperstown
The brain aneurysm that changed John Olerud's life is visible today by only a small indentation on the left side of his forehead.
But the effects of that event shape Olerud's outlook to this day – and has left the 17-year big league veteran with a deep sense of gratitude.
Olerud visited the Baseball Hall of Fame on Thursday with his wife, Kelly; two of their children, Garrett and Jessica; and his in-laws. The 42-year-old Olerud, who lives in the Pacific Northwest, made the trip to Cooperstown based on the recommendation of former teammate Ed Sprague.
"Ed told me what an incredible visit he had, getting to see all the history," Olerud said. "I have to say: He was right."
Olerud, looking very much like the strapping 6-foot-5, 205-pound first baseman he was with the Blue Jays, Mets, Mariners, Yankees and Red Sox from 1989-2005, marveled at Museum artifacts like a Babe Ruth bat and a Roberto Clemente cap.
He even held a bat that he donated to the Hall of Fame in 2000 after recording the first-ever hit at Detroit's Comerica Park as a member of the Mariners.
His .295 career batting average, 2,239 hits, two All-Star Game selections and three Gold Glove Awards were enough to secure him a place on the 2011 Baseball Writers' Association of America Hall of Fame ballot. But the modest Olerud, a key member of the Blue Jays' back-to-back World Series winners in 1992-93, downplayed his own accomplishments.
"I'm just so thankful to have had the chance to get married, have kids and play the game I love," said Olerud, who suffered the aneurysm while he was working out at Washington State University in 1988, but recovered to debut with the Jays in 1989 after bypassing the minor leagues entirely. "When you're playing, you don't really think about something like the Hall of Fame because you're just trying to help the team and keep yourself in the lineup. And now that I'm retired, I've been so involved with my family, it seems like that time when I played is so far away.
"But to come here and see all this, it reminds you of how fortunate you are to play baseball."
Craig Muder is the director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Celebrity Photographer Toni Tones Takes on Acting
Photographer Toni tones continues to show us how multi talented she is, she has established herself as one of Nigeria's most sought after photographers. She also runs a highly popular online fashion magazine, thefancyhub.com and is currently the voice of Mavin records, doing voice overs as their 'mavinbot'.
Now you can stamp actress on her CV as she stars in the new drama series 'Gidi Culture'.
The drama series has been described as a representative of the Nigerian Youth, and draws from many of their experiences. In the series, it shows the lives of several young people from different walks of life as they relate to each other under various climates of prosperity and privation often associated with life in Gidi (Nigeria).
Toni Tones plays The show's protagonist, Halima Dan-Ladi Adebayo who is a naïve upper class Nigerian attending graduate school in New York City. When a grave accident occurs in her apartment, Halima's divorced Mother, Mariam Dan-Ladi, coerces her daughter to return to Nigeria indefinitely and attend the Lagos Business School. Life in Gidi exposes Halima to a whole new world she never knew existed.
Will she ultimately succeed in this challenge of familiarizing herself with Gidi Culture and come to terms with her new reality? Or will she plummet into bad company and fall prey to the enmity amassed by some of Nigeria's frustrated youth? Only time will tell as life unfolds in "Gidi Culture."
We have a feeling we'll be hearing a lot more of Toni Tones this year and we can't wait to see what more she has in store.

Keep your lawn green with a composter
Not all yards are created equal. Soil conditions, geographic location, rocky terrain and climate all have an impact on what kind of plants can grow in our yards, and how well they'll do. While some gardeners may turn to soil amendments and commercial fertilizers to help their plants grow, others are choosing to use composters. These popular tools allow you to store organic material while it breaks down so it can later be used to fertilize plants.
Composting is an easy, organic to make sure your precious plants and grasses flourish. The most popular type of composter is the compost tumbler, a tool that has a barrel-like design with an opening for the organic matter. Heat and moisture play a part in making sure the matter breaks down properly, so occasionally spraying the mix with water will ensure it's working properly. Finding the right composter depends on the size of your garden and the quality of the existing soil. Composters can also be used to store organic material in your yard that you no longer want lying around. Grass clippings, weeds and leaves can be stored in a composter that will eventually turn into rich nutrients for your soil. Sears offers a variety of composters that are easy to use and maintain in different sizes and shapes that will meet all your composting needs.
When looking at the possibility of composting, take into account your landscaping materials. If you have a small yard with few plants, a smaller composter may be all you need. However, if you are an avid gardener who takes time out of each week to trim, chop and prune various pieces in a large garden and backyard, you may need a little more composting firepower.
Once you have composted down your leftovers, look to spreaders a way to distribute your compost. Hand-held spreaders, which are typically lightweight tools, can be used to distribute ice melt, seeds and other materials in compact areas. We also offer large-capacity spreaders that can accommodate larger areas. Whether you are looking for a pushable spreader for a medium-sized lawn or need a lawn tractor-towed accessory to tackle the back 40, Sears can help you find a dependable piece of equipment you can trust.
With a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors and styles, planters can be another helpful tool to help set your yard apart from your neighbor's. Planters, or pots and boxes that hold live plants, can be both functional and decorative. They can stand on their own in the yard, or they can be together with others in a garden or on your board. The right novelty planter, whether it's shaped with a tricycle or a cart, or a simple basket can add color and interest to your yard.

Floor Mats & Floor Liners
Protect your interior with floor mats and liners from Sears
Everyone likes having a spotless interior, but dirt and moisture can harm your car's floor. Floor mats and liners are an effective way of protecting your vehicle's interior from ripping or fading quickly. Sears carries a wide variety of floor liners and mats for your car, truck or SUV from top brands like WeatherTech, Kustom Fit and Husky Liners.
Whenever your step into your car, your shoes carry different particles that can take their toll on exposed vehicle carpeting. Floor mats give your car's floor ample coverage wherever you or your passenger's feet rest. Car mats are typically available in both carpet and rubber. Rubber mats are exceptional at trapping water and dirt in their rigid patterns. They're perfect for the wintertime when your boots track lots of snow and road salt.
Mats might not always get the job done in a large vehicle. If you want to protect the entire floor and side floorboards, your best bet is to use floor liners in the front and backseats. Most types of floor liners and custom seat covers are constructed with lower reservoirs that trap liquid and muck. Once the ride is over, you can easily remove them to dump out any dirt.
Whether it's a heavy duty pickup truck or small sports car, your vehicle's floor should always stay clean. Sears has the floor liners and mats to help keep your interior spotless.

Miss Me Blowout Boot Stretch Jean 7 7
Great Detail on Jeans These are one of my favorite pair of jeans, they are very comfortable I love all the details. February 13, 2015
miss me Love these jeans! High quality denim and thick stitching make a durable pair of jeans that last! February 12, 2015
A little short I like how they fit except for the length. I am 5'2" tall and buy the 29" length but these were too short and I will return them. February 6, 2014
love I love these jeans. They fit like a glove. I like the holes and worn look. The quality is great. February 13, 2013
Love em! Quite possibly the cutest jeans I've ever seen. I ordered them for my teen and they fit exactly as expected. Buckle shipped them very quickly and I am very pleased! January 10, 2013
Love! I recently bought this jeans in 28. The store didn't have 27, and I really didn't want to wait for it to be ordered. It's honestly not a huge deal. I usually wear skin tight jeans, and I was getting tired of it! These jeans are PERFECT. They did shrink a bit when I washed and dried them. I love the rips on the back pocket, and the front. It's so edgy and I love them. January 3, 2013
Not true to size! I am a 23 or a 24 it depeneds on the exact pair of pants, I had my local buckle order me these in a 23 and good thing I did because they are huge! The 23 fits like a 25 or maybe even a 26! I was so disappointed because these jeans are so cute! I would think they were easy boot if the tag didn't say other wise! I don't know if I just got a bad pair or what, but mine was definitely not true to size. If you want to purchase these jeans I would reccomend trying them on at a Buckle store and making sure the pair you buy fits instead of ordering them online, and if you do, you may want to go down 2 or maybe even more sizes.

Good job.
Honestly, I kinda like the idea of that, yet at the same time, I have some issues with it too.
It reminds me a lot of Star Wars, where Anakin killed Count Dooku, for revenge and the fact that he was to dangerous to keep alive. And like Anakin, this could be Blossom's one-way ticket to the dark side. It's a slippery slope.
Now this sound really cool in its own way, but if Blossom starts turning evil on us, people are gonna start relating this to GT more and more. And I really don't want that to happen.
However, by the time this is all over, I'm hoping for some sort of tragedy.

FARMINGTON — The town's elementary school was transformed into a nightmare scenario Friday as area police departments acted out a live "active shooter" training episode. "We're live," yelled an officer down the Valley View Community School halls, empty as students had the week off for winter break.A group of four officers carefully moved across the white linoleum, consciously stepping heel-to-toe to pace themselves with their air-soft gun pistols drawn. A teenage boy jumped out from a door and officers yelled for him to put down his weapon — a plastic AK-47 style rifle. "Show me your hands! Show me your hands!" yelled one officer. They acted out shooting the teen dead before walking into the darkened classroom, as a woman playing the role of a teacher ran past, hoping to avoid being shot with her hands over her head. A pop-pop-popping sound came as officers then fire plastic pellets into the air at a second shooter. By the end of the scenario, young boys played dead on the floor and the area was declared secure. This is, as Farmington Police Chief Kevin Willey puts it, the best way to follow the age-old mantra: You prepare for the worst, and hope for the best.

Valor® Parts Library (VPL)
The Valor Parts Library (VPL) provides accurate physical models of electronic components and connectors used in PCB manufacturing, test and assembly, delivered in a consistent, CAD/CAM-friendly format.
Accurate physical models of each BOM component
The VPL contains more than 35 million commercial electronic component part numbers, including the dimensioned package model for each part. Package names are based on the recognized JEDEC JES-D 30B standard. Each package model contains the following attributes and much more:
- Accurate graphical contour
- Pin contact areas and positions
- Dimensional tolerances
- Overall dimensions including height
- Pin 1 identification
Use the VPL data to ensure that DFM analysis is based on actual "as built" precision of component spacing and component pin-to-pad contact area. Other applications of VPL data include using the height attribute of components in the product BOM to ensure that production tooling dimensions are correct and that the assembled PCB will fit into chassis configurations as intended.
- Seamlessly integrated into all Valor applications
- Accurate physical models of each component in your BOM
- Removes cost and process bottleneck of researching component data
- Completely scalable for any size operation, from a single site to a large global enterprise
- "As-built" precision enables realistic documentation and accurate DFA analysis
- VPL Library Manager application provides searching, viewing, drawing, editing, linking, and other management functions related to the VPL database
- Create custom attributes for individual part numbers to support requirements such as lead-free or performance characteristics needed for test or inspection
- Valor's creation content services provides a timely response to VPL package and part number creation
Making sense of package creation chaos
Hi there One of the least efficient areas in PCB assembly concerns the creation and management of package data that will be consumed across the shop-floor. For example DFM processes rely on accurate... View Blog Post
