Why Chetty's Value-Added Model studies leave me unconvinced
Every now and then when I complain about the Value-Added Model (VAM), people send me links to recent papers written Raj Chetty, John Friedman, and Jonah Rockoff like this one entitled Measuring the Impacts of Teachers II: Teacher Value-Added and Student Outcomes in Adulthood or its predecessor Measuring the Impacts of Teachers I: Evaluating Bias in Teacher Value-Added Estimates.
I think I'm supposed to come away impressed, but that's not what happens. Let me explain.
Their data set for students scores start in 1989, well before the current value-added teaching climate began. That means teachers weren't teaching to the test like they are now. Therefore saying that the current VAM works because an retrograded VAM worked in 1989 and the 1990's is like saying I must like blueberry pie now because I used to like pumpkin pie. It's comparing apples to oranges, or blueberries to pumpkins.
I'm surprised by the fact that the authors don't seem to make any note of the difference in data quality between pre-VAM and current conditions. They should know all about feedback loops; any modeler should. And there's nothing like telling teachers they might lose their job to create a mighty strong feedback loop. For that matter, just consider all the cheating scandals in the D.C. area where the stakes were the highest. Now that's a feedback loop. And by the way, I've never said the VAM scores are totally meaningless, but just that they are not precise enough to hold individual teachers accountable. I don't think Chetty et al address that question.
So we can't trust old VAM data. But what about recent VAM data? Where's the evidence that, in this climate of high-stakes testing, this model is anything but random?
If it were a good model, we'd presumably be seeing a comparison of current VAM scores and current other measures of teacher success and how they agree. But we aren't seeing anything like that. Tell me if I'm wrong, I've been looking around and I haven't seen such comparisons. And I'm sure they've been tried, it's not rocket science to compare VAM scores with other scores.
The lack of such studies reminds me of how we never hear about scientific studies on the results of Weight Watchers. There's a reason such studies never see the light of day, namely because whenever they do those studies, they decide they're better off not revealing the results.
And if you're thinking that it would be hard to know exactly how to rate a teacher's teaching in a qualitative, trustworthy way, then yes, that's the point! It's actually not obvious how to do this, which is the real reason we should never trust a so-called "objective mathematical model" when we can't even decide on a definition of success. We should have the conversation of what comprises good teaching, and we should involve the teachers in that, and stop relying on old data and mysterious college graduation results 10 years hence. What are current 6th grade teachers even supposed to do about studies like that?
Note I do think educators and education researchers should be talking about these questions. I just don't think we should punish teachers arbitrarily to have that conversation. We should have a notion of best practices that slowly evolve as we figure out what works in the long-term.
So here's what I'd love to see, and what would be convincing to me as a statistician. If we see all sorts of qualitative ways of measuring teachers, and see their VAM scores as well, and we could compare them, and make sure they agree with each other and themselves over time. In other words, at the very least we should demand an explanation of how some teachers get totally ridiculous and inconsistent scores from one year to the next and from one VAM to the next, even in the same year.
The way things are now, the scores aren't sufficiently sound be used for tenure decisions. They are too noisy. And if you don't believe me, consider that statisticians and some mathematicians agree.
We need some ground truth, people, and some common sense as well. Instead we're seeing retired education professors pull statistics out of thin air, and it's an all-out war of supposed mathematical objectivity against the civil servant.
Review: House of Debt by Atif Mian and Amir Sufi
I just finished House of Debt by Atif Mian and Amir Sufi, which I bought as a pdf directly from the publisher.
This is a great book. It's well written, clear, and it focuses on important issues. I did not check all of the claims made by the data but, assuming they hold up, the book makes two hugely important points which hopefully everyone can understand and debate, even if we don't all agree on what to do about them.
First, the authors explain the insufficiency of monetary policy to get the country out of recession. Second, they suggest a new way to structure debt.
To explain these points, the authors do something familiar to statisticians: they think about distributions rather than averages. So rather than talking about how much debt there was, or how much the average price of houses fell, they talked about who was in debt, and where they lived, and which houses lost value. And they make each point carefully, with the natural experiments inherent in our cities due to things like available land and income, to try to tease out causation.
Their first main point is this: the financial system works against poor people ("borrowers") much more than rich people ("lenders") in times of crisis, and the response to the financial crisis exacerbated this discrepancy.
The crisis fell on poor people much more heavily: they were wiped out by the plummeting housing prices, whereas rich people just lost a bit of their wealth. Then the government stepped in and protected creditors and shareholders but didn't renegotiate debt, which protected lenders but not borrowers. This is a large reason we are seeing so much increasing inequality and why our economy is stagnant. They make the case that we should have bailed out homeowners not only because it would have been fair but because it would have been helpful economically.
The authors looked into what actually caused the Great Recession, and they come to a startling conclusion: that the banking crisis was an effect, rather than a cause, of enormous household debt and consumer pull-back. Their narrative goes like this: people ran up debt, then started to pull back, and and as a result the banking system collapsed, as it was utterly dependent on ever-increasing debt. Moreover, the financial system did a very poor job of figuring out how to allocate capital and the people who made those loans were not adequately punished, whereas the people who got those loans were more than reasonably punished.
About half of the run-up of household debt was explained by home equity extraction, where people took out money from their home to spend on stuff. This is partly due to the fact that, in the meantime, wages were stagnant and home equity was a big thing and was hugely available.
But the authors also made the case that, even so, the bubble wasn't directly caused by rising home valuations but rather to securitization and the creation of "financial innovation" which made investors believe they were buying safe products which were in fact toxic. In their words, securities are invented to exploit "neglected risks" (my experience working in a financial risk firm absolutely agrees to this; whenever you hear the phrase "financial innovation," please interpret it to mean "an instrument whose risk hides somewhere in the creases that investors are not yet aware of").
They make the case that debt access by itself elevates prices and build bubbles. In other words, it was the sausage factory itself, producing AAA-rated ABS CDO's that grew the bubble.
Next, they talked about what works and what doesn't, given this distributional way of looking at the household debt crisis. Specifically, monetary policy is insufficient, since it works through the banks, who are unwilling to lend to the poor who are already underwater, and only rich people benefit from cheap money and inflated markets. Even at its most extreme, the Fed can at most avoid deflation but it not really help create inflation, which is what debtors need.
Fiscal policy, which is to say things like helicopter money drops or added government jobs, paid by taxpayers, is better but it makes the wrong people pay – high income earners vs. high wealth owners – and isn't as directly useful as debt restructuring, where poor people get a break and it comes directly from rich people who own the debt.
There are obstacles to debt restructuring, which are mostly political. Politicians are impotent in times of crisis, as we've seen, so instead of waiting forever for that to happen, we need a new kind of debt contract that automatically gets restructured in times of crisis. Such a new-fangled contract would make the financial system actually spread out risk better. What would that look like?
The authors give two examples, for mortgages and student debt. The student debt example is pretty simple: how quickly you need to pay back your loans depends in part on how many jobs there are when you graduate. The idea is to cushion the borrower somewhat from macro-economic factors beyond their control.
Next, for mortgages, they propose something the called the shared-responsibility mortgage. The idea here is to have, say, a 30-year mortgage as usual, but if houses in your area lost value, your principal and monthly payments would go down in a commensurate way. So if there's a 30% drop, your payments go down 30%. To compensate the lenders for this loss-share, the borrowers also share the upside: 5% of capital gains are given to the lenders in the case of a refinancing.
In the case of a recession, the creditors take losses but the overall losses are smaller because we avoid the foreclosure feedback loops. It also acts as a form of stimulus to the borrowers, who are more likely to spend money anyway.
If we had had such mortgage contracts in the Great Recession, the authors estimate that it would have been worth a stimulus of $200 billion, which would have in turn meant fewer jobs lost and many fewer foreclosures and a smaller decline of housing prices. They also claim that shared-responsibility mortgages would prevent bubbles from forming in the first place, because of the fear of creditors that they would be sharing in the losses.
A few comments. First, as a modeler, I am absolutely sure that once my monthly mortgage payment is directly dependent on a price index, that index is going to be manipulated. Similarly as a college graduate trying to figure out how quickly I need to pay back my loans. And depending on how well that manipulation works, it could be a disaster.
Second, it is interesting to me that the authors make no mention of the fact that, for many forms of debt, restructuring is already a typical response. Certainly for commercial mortgages, people renegotiate their principal all the time. We can address the issue of how easy it is to negotiate principal directly by talking about standards in contracts.
Having said that I like the idea of having a contract that makes restructuring automatic and doesn't rely on bypassing the very real organizational and political frictions that we see today.
Let me put it this way. If we saw debt contracts being written like this, where borrowers really did have down-side protection, then the people of our country might start actually feeling like the financial system was working for them rather than against them. I'm not holding my breath for this to actually happen.
Me & My Administrative Bloat
I am now part of the administrative bloat over at Columbia. I am non-faculty administration, tasked with directing a data journalism program. The program is great, and I'm not complaining about my job. But I will be honest, it makes me uneasy.
Although I'm in the Journalism School, which is in many ways separated from the larger university, I now have a view into how things got so bloated. And how they might stay that way, as well: it's not clear that, at the end of my 6-month gig, on September 16th, I could hand my job over to any existing person at the J-School. They might have to replace me, or keep me on, with a real live full-time person in charge of this program.
There are good and less good reasons for that, but overall I think there exists a pretty sound argument for such a person to run such a program and to keep it good and intellectually vibrant. That's another thing that makes me uneasy, although many administrative positions have less of an easy sell attached to them.
I was reminded of this fact of my current existence when I read this recent New York Times article about the administrative bloat in hospitals. From the article:
And studies suggest that administrative costs make up 20 to 30 percent of the United States health care bill, far higher than in any other country. American insurers, meanwhile, spent $606 per person on administrative costs, more than twice as much as in any other developed country and more than three times as much as many, according to a study by the Commonwealth Fund.
Compare that to this article entitled Administrators Ate My Tuition:
A comprehensive study published by the Delta Cost Project in 2010 reported that between 1998 and 2008, America's private colleges increased spending on instruction by 22 percent while increasing spending on administration and staff support by 36 percent. Parents who wonder why college tuition is so high and why it increases so much each year may be less than pleased to learn that their sons and daughters will have an opportunity to interact with more administrators and staffers— but not more professors.
There are similarities and there are differences between the university and the medical situations.
A similarity is that people really want to be educated, and people really need to be cared for, and administrations have grown up around these basic facts, and at each stage they seem to be adding something either seemingly productive or vitally needed to contain the complexity of the existing machine, but in the end you have enormous behemoths of organizations that are much too complex and much too expensive. And as a reality check on whether that's necessary, take a look at hospitals in Europe, or take a look at our own university system a few decades ago.
And that also points out a critical difference: the health care system is ridiculously complicated in this country, and in some sense you need all these people just to navigate it for a hospital. And ObamaCare made that worse, not better, even though it also has good aspects in terms of coverage.
Whereas the university system made itself complicated, it wasn't externally forced into complexity, except if you count the US News & World Reports gaming that seems inescapable.
A neat solution to the high class jerk problem
You might have heard about the recent study entitled Higher social class predicts increased unethical behavior. In it, the authors figure out seven ways to measure the extent to which rich people are bigger assholes than poor people, a plan that works brilliantly every time.
What they term "unethical behavior" comes down to stuff like cutting off people and cars in an intersection, cheating in a game, and even stealing candy from a baby.
The authors also show that rich people are more likely to think of greed as good, and that attitude is sufficient to explain their feelings of entitlement. Another way of saying this it that, once you "account for greed feelings," being rich doesn't make you more likely to cheat.
I'd like to go one step further and ask, why do rich people think greed is good? A couple of things come to mind.
First, rich people rarely get arrested, and even when they are arrested, their experiences are very different and much less likely to end up with a serious sentence. Specifically, the fees are not onerous for the rich, and fancier lawyers do better jobs for the rich (by the way, in Finland, speeding tickets are on a sliding scale depending on the income of the perpetrator). It's easy to think greed is good if you never get punished for cheating.
Second, rich people are examples of current or legacy winners in the current system, and that feeling that they have won leaks onto other feelings of entitlement. They have faith in the system to keep them from having to deal with consequences because so far so good.
Finally, some people deliberately judge that they can afford to be assholes. They are insulated from depending on other people because they have money. Who needs friends when you have resources?
Of course, not all rich people are greed-is-good obsessed assholes. But there are some that specialize in it. They call themselves Libertarians. Paypal founder Peter Thiel is one of their heroes.
Here's some good news: some of those people intend to sail off on a floating country. Thiel is helping fund this concept. The only problem is, they all are so individualistic it's hard for them to agree on ground rules and, you know, a process by which to decide things (don't say government!).
This isn't a new idea, but for some reason it makes me very happy. I mean, wouldn't you love it if a good fraction of the people who cut you off in traffic got together and decided to leave town? I'm thinking of donating to that cause. Do they have a Kickstarter yet?
The business of big data audits: monetizing fairness
I gave a talk to the invitation-only NYC CTO Club a couple of weeks ago about my fears about big data modeling, namely:
- that big data modeling is discriminatory,
- that big data modeling increases inequality, and
- that big data modeling threatens democracy.
I had three things on my "to do" list for the audience of senior technologists, namely:
- test internal, proprietary models for discrimination,
- help regulators like the CFPB develop reasonable audits, and
- get behind certain models being transparent and publicly accessible, including credit scoring, teacher evaluations, and political messaging models.
Given the provocative nature of my talk, I was pleasantly surprised by the positive reception I was given. Those guys were great – interactive, talkative, and very thoughtful. I think it helped that I wasn't trying to sell them something.
Even so, I shouldn't have been surprised when one of them followed up with me to talk about a possible business model for "fairness audits." The idea is that, what with the recent bad press about discrimination in big data modeling (some of the audience had actually worked with the Podesta team), there will likely be a business advantage to being able to claim that your models are fair. So someone should develop those tests that companies can take. Quick, someone, monetize fairness!
One reason I think this might actually work – and more importantly, be useful – is that I focused on "effects-based" discrimination, which is to say testing a model by treating it like a black box and seeing how it works on different inputs and gives different outputs. In other words, I want to give a resume-sorting algorithm different resumes with similar qualifications but different races. An algorithmically induced randomized experiment, if you will.
From the business perspective, a test that allows a model to remain a black box feels safe, because it does not require true transparency, and allows the "secret sauce" to remain secret.
One thing, though. I don't think it makes too much sense to have a proprietary model for fairness auditing. In fact the way I was imagining this was to develop an open-source audit model that the CFPB could use. What I don't want, and which would be worse than nothing, would be if some private company developed a proprietary "fairness audit" model that we cannot trust and would claim to solve the very real problems listed above.
Update: something like this is already happening for privacy compliance in the big data world (hat tip David Austin).
Was Jill Abramson's firing a woman thing?
Need to be both nerdy and outraged today.
I've noticed something. When something shitty happens to me, and I'm complaining to a group of friends about it, I sometimes say something like "that only happened to me because I'm a woman."
Now, first of all, I want to be clear, I'm no victim. I don't let sexism get me down. In fact when I say something like that it usually is a coping mechanism to separate that person's actions from my own actions, and to help me figure out what to do next. Usually I let it slide off of me and continue on my merry way.
But here's where it's weird. If I'm with a bunch of women friends, their immediate reaction is always the same: "hell yes, that bitch/ bastard is just a sexist fuck." But if I'm with a bunch of man friend of mine, the reaction is very likely to be different: "oh, I don't think there's any reason to assume it was sexist. That guy/ girl is just an asshole."
What it comes down to is priors. My prior is that there is sexism in the world, and it happens all the fucking time, especially to women with perceived power (or to women with no power whatsoever), and so when someone treats me or someone else badly, I do assume we should look into the sexism angle. It's a natural choice, and Occam's razor suggests it is involved.
So when Jill Abramson got fired, a bunch of the world's women were like, those fuckers fired her because she is a powerful, take-no-bullshit woman, and if she'd been a man she would have been expected to act like a dick, but because she's a woman they couldn't handle it.
And a bunch of the world's men were like, wow, I wonder what happened?
So, yes, now I have a prior on people's priors on sexism, and I think men's and women's sexism priors are totally different. I can even explain it.
Men are men, so they don't experience sexism. So they don't update their priors like women do. Plus, because there is rarely a moment when an event or reaction is officially deemed "sexist," men even categorize events differently than women (as discussed above), so even when they do update their prior, it is differently updated, partly because their prior is that nothing is sexist unless proven to be, since it's so freaking unlikely, according to their prior.
Ezra Klein isn't speculating, for example, but Emily Bell is, and I'm with her. That just strengthened my priors about other people's priors.
A simple mathematical model of congressional geriatric penis pumps
This is a guest post written by Stephanie Yang and reposted from her blog. Stephanie and I went to graduate school at Harvard together. She is now a quantitative analyst living in New York City, and will be joining the data science team at Foursquare next month.
Last week's hysterical report by the Daily Show's Samantha Bee on federally funded penis pumps contained a quote which piqued our quantitative interest. Listen carefully at the 4:00 mark, when Ilyse Hogue proclaims authoritatively:
"Statistics show that probably some our members of congress have a vested interested in having penis pumps covered by Medicare!"
Ilya's wording is vague, and intentionally so. Statistically, a lot of things are "probably" true, and many details are contained in the word "probably". In this post we present a simple statistical model to clarify what Ilya means.
First we state our assumptions. We assume that penis pumps are uniformly distributed among male Medicare recipients and that no man has received two pumps. These are relatively mild assumptions. We also assume that what Ilya refers to as "members of Congress [with] a vested interested in having penis pumps covered by Medicare," specifically means male member of congress who received a penis pump covered by federal funds. Of course, one could argue that female members congress could also have a vested interested in penis pumps as well, but we do not want to go there.
Now the number crunching. According to the report, Medicare has spent a total of $172 million supplying penis pumps to recipients, at "360 bucks a pop." This means a total of 478,000 penis pumps bought from 2006 to 2011.
45% of the current 49,435,610 Medicare recipients are male. In other words, Medicare bought one penis pump for every 46.5 eligible men. Inverting this, we can say that 2.15% of male Medicare recipients received a penis pump.
There are currently 128 members of congress (32 senators plus 96 representatives) who are males over the age of 65 and therefore Medicare-eligible. The probability that none of them received a federally funded penis pump is:
In other words, the chances of at least one member of congress having said penis pumps is 93.8%, which is just shy of the 95% confidence that most statisticians agree on as significant. In order to get to 95% confidence, we need a total of 138 male members of congress who are over the age of 65, and this has not happened yet as of 2014. Nevertheless, the estimate is close enough for us to agree with Ilya that there is probably someone member of congress who has one.
Is it possible that there two or more penis pump recipients in congress? We did notice that Ilya's quote refers to plural members of congress. Under the assumptions laid out above, the probability of having at least two federally funded penis pumps in congress is:
Again, we would say this is probably true, though not nearly with the same amount of confidence as before. In order to reach 95% confidence that there are two or moreq congressional federally funded penis pump, we would need 200 or more Medicare-eligible males in congress, which is unlikely to happen anytime soon.
Note: As a corollary to these calculations, I became the first developer in the history of mankind to type the following command:
git merge --squash penispump.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup will be the 20th FIFA World Cup, an international association football tournament that will take place in Brazil from 12 June to 13 July 2014.
This will be the second time the country has hosted the competition, the first being the 1950 FIFA World Cup. Brazil will become the fifth country to have hosted the FIFA World Cup twice, after Mexico, Italy, France and Germany. It will be the first World Cup to be held in South America since the 1978 FIFA World Cup in Argentina, the first time two consecutive World Cups are staged outside Europe and the first time two consecutive World Cups are staged in the Southern Hemisphere (the 2010 FIFA World Cup was held in South Africa).
On 7 March 2003, FIFA announced that the tournament would be held in South America for the first time since Argentina hosted the competition in 1978, in line with its policy of rotating the right to host the World Cup amongst different confederations. On 3 June 2003, the South American Football Confederation CONMEBOL announced that Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia wanted to host the 2014 World Cup finals.

What Satisfied Customers Are Saying
Quality product
By Alton from Hiawassee, GA 30546 on 8/11/2014
Having slept on water beds for over 50 years, and tired of patching leaking bed blatters, and also being partically crippled due to botched dual knee replacemtns, I tried the air mattress of a friend. It was made by a leading manufacturer of camping equipment, but also sold air mattresses. So I ordered on from the same company. Within a few days, it developed a leak. Based on the specifications and warranty of the Serta, I ordered their product. Thus far, it has performed quite well, their "constant air pressure" system is great, and I got a night's sleep without pain, or worrying about leaks!
Nice Fit
By Donald from GLENDALE,AZ on 8/1/2014
The mattress is very durable and fits perfect. The pump works on 12V and is plenty powerfull to fill it up. My only reason for 4 stars is because the bag for the mattress ripped as soon as I picked it up. The material is very poor and they should address it to keep happy customers.
Fabulous For Camping!!!
By Ms. Isquith from Sylmar, CA on 7/20/2014
This inflatable sofa/bed is amazing. My husband & I took it on our camping trip & found it very easy to inflate & deflate. Made of durable materials. We were surprised that the mattress remained firm for 2 days & lost very little air like most air mattresses have a tendency to do. Terrific quality for the price! Extremely satisfied with this product!

About the church: Just off Highway 7, concealed by a curtain of fir trees, is St. Michael's Church. It's a hidden gem, nestling in the small community of East Quoddy on the Eastern Shore. Built in 1878, on an almost Lilliputian scale, the church today serves a Roman Catholic congregation of 21 and is under the ever-watchful eye of Walter Warren, a spry 95-year-old who has lived all his life next door, in the house his grandfather built.
The artist: Russell Jackson was born in the north of England. He studied illustration in Scotland and lived in Sweden and Iceland before finally meeting his wife and choosing to settle in Nova Scotia. He draws compulsively, filling sketchbook after sketchbook with portraits of people in different places: coffee shops, tattoo parlours, the streets, the courthouse and nursing homes are just some of his haunts. The sheer diversity of people, the places they inhabit and the lives they lead drive him to draw. Jackson's work will regularly appear in The NovaScotian.

County's education services 'best in Wales'
10:42am Tuesday 11th February 2014 in News
Education services in Ceredigion are the best in Wales according to schools' inspectorate Estyn.
The authority has come top of the class with a glowing report putting it at the forefront of education authorities in Wales.
The Leader of the council, Cllr. Ellen ap Gwynn, said: "This is an outstanding result for Ceredigion. I am delighted to see that, of the 15 judgements identified within the report, Ceredigion is deemed to be excellent in 11 and good in the remaining four judgements. I think this is a clear indication of the quality of provision delivered here in Ceredigion by a dedicated team of professionals. It also reflects positively on the commitment of Ceredigion councillors who have identified education as one of our major priority areas."
The report recognises the close collaboration that exists between the schools and the services provided through the central team. Particular reference is made to the very effective use of data at an individual pupil level.
Cabinet Member for Learning Services, Cllr Hag Harries, said: "I feel a great sense of pride about this report, especially as it recognises the significant team effort that has occurred to secure this judgment. Councillors and staff of Ceredigion have worked tirelessly for several years to achieve this high standard of service. A particularly pleasing factor for me is that we are able to demonstrate high levels of performance in all phases of education."

PLAYERS: Jason Spezza, Gabriel Bourque, Sergei Gonchar, Chris Phillips, Patric Hornqvist, Ryan Suter, Nick Spaling, Martin Erat
TEAMS: Ottawa Senators, Nashville Predators, Boston Bruins
TEAMS: Ottawa Senators, Nashville Predators, Boston Bruins
The Ottawa Senators are clinging to the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Additionally, they were 0-6-1 in their last seven coming into the game. In short, they are a team the Nashville Predators should beat. Unfortunately, the Preds skated into Scotiabank Place and dropped a 4-3 decision in front of 18,592. All-Star center Jason Spezza put the home team on the board early. With less than 5:00 gone, he broke down the wing and wristed a rising laser on Rinne. The two teams wouldn't go into the locker room with that score, however, as rookie Gabriel Bourque used Sens defenseman Sergei Gonchar as a screen and fired a shot past Auld to tie the game. Midway through the second, Sens blueliner Chris Phillips decided to score his first goal of the season in his 1,000th career game to regain the lead. The top overall pick in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft has played all 1,000 of his NHL games for Ottawa. Using a power play, the Predators pulled even once again. Patric Hornqv...

As the NFL heads into the final five weeks of the 2011 season, several teams are looking to get wins to keep their postseason hopes alive, while two NFC squads look to clinch a playoff spot. Here's a preview of all the scheduled action for Week 13:
Philadelphia Eagles at Seattle Seahawks – 8:20 PM
Week 13′s Thursday night game features a matchup of 2010 NFC playoff teams who are both having disappointing 2011 seasons. Despite numerous off-season acquisitions, Philadelphia (4-7) is only mathematically alive in the NFC East
New Orleans 49 – N.Y. Giants 24
Drew Brees threw for 363 yards and four touchdowns and ran for another score, and the New Orleans Saints beat the New York Giants 49-24 on Monday night. The loss was the third in a row for New York (6-5), which dropped a game behind first-place Dallas in the NFC East.
The Vikings lost 24-14 at Atlanta to the Falcons Sunday afternoon to fall to 2-9 on the season. Minnesota fell behind 17-0 before coming back to cut the lead to 17-14 but Minnesota would get no closer.
Tim Tebow's magic continued in Denver, while several other teams rallied for key victories. Here are the NFL scores from Sunday and a recap of all the action from Week 12:
Denver 16 – San Diego 13 (OT)
Matt Prater kicked a 37-yard field goal with 29 seconds left in overtime, and the Denver Broncos beat the San Diego Chargers 16-13
Green Bay 27 – Detroit 15
Aaron Rodgers threw for 307 yards and two touchdowns, and the Green Bay Packers beat the Detroit Lions 27-15 on Thanksgiving Day. The Packers (11-0) remained unbeaten in part by intercepting Lions' quarterback Matthew Stafford three times and turning those turnovers into 17 points
Last week was the final bye week of the 2011 NFL season. All of the teams have now played 10 games of the 16-game season. Six teams got an early start on the playoff push with Thanksgiving Day games, the rest play Sunday and Monday
Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions – 12:30 PM
In a key NFC North game, Detroit (7-3) plays host to the undefeated Packers (10-0). With an NFL-best quarterback rating of 128.8, Aaron Rodgers is the leader of Green Bay's offensive attack, which averages a league-best 35
New England 34 – Kansas City 3
Tom Brady threw two touchdown passes to Rob Gronkowski, and the New England Patriots overcame a sluggish first half to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 34-3 on Monday night
The Vikings lost 27-21 at home to the Oakland Raiders Sunday afternoon at Mall of America Field. Minnesota fell behind 24-7 but scored 14 4th quarter points to make the game interesting. Christian Ponder was 19-33 passing for 211 yards and 2 touchdowns with 3 interceptions and he ran for 71 yards to lead the team
The Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers continued their fantastic seasons, while the Baltimore Ravens moved into first place in the AFC North. Meanwhile, several other teams continued win streaks

BETHLEHEM, West Bank — Two weeks before Christmas, one of the most powerful storms to hit the Middle East in a century dumped several inches of snow on the hills of Bethlehem.In addition to shuttering schools and businesses, the storm caused runoff to trickle down the walls of the Church of the Nativity, built above the traditional birthplace of Jesus.Fortunately, the water damage was relatively minor, church officials say, thanks to a rare cooperative venture already underway to repair the basilica's roof, leaky windows and old wooden beams, some 1,500 years old."There were still leaks, but thanks to the scaffolding that was erected for the restoration work, the damage was controlled," said the Rev. Pierbattista Pizzaballa, custodian of the Holy Land for the Roman Catholic Church.In what some are calling the biggest miracle in Bethlehem since the birth of Jesus, the three churches that share responsibility for the Nativity church put aside centuries of tense relations this past year to ensure the job gets done.

Many artistic renderings of biblical figures hang in churches and museums, but no one really knows what they and their contemporaries looked like.Now, an international team of archeologists, forensic anthropologists, and facial reconstruction experts has tried to answer this question by recreating the faces of three adults and a newborn whose skeletal remains date back to biblical times.A new four-part TV series, Lost Faces of the Bible (airing on the National Geographic Channel beginning Monday), follows the experts as they recreate long-gone faces utilizing the same state-of-the art technology used by police investigators.

JERUSALEM — In a stunning reversal, a feminist Jewish prayer group said it will consider a government proposal to allow a mixed-gender prayer space at the Western Wall — but only after the government agrees to their conditions.For 25 years, Women of the Wall has demanded access to pray at the sacred site that is home to the remnants of the Jewish Temple and is overseen by the Orthodox religious establishment. The group objects to the restrictions placed on them when they pray in the women's section. They want to continue to pray in that section but will consider a compromise.After a "comprehensive and emotionally trying decision-making process," the group's executive board on Monday overwhelmingly decided "to create a future in which, under the right conditions," its members will pray "in an equal and fully integrated third section of the Kotel," the Hebrew word for the Western Wall.Women of the Wall has demanded the right to pray directly from a Torah scroll, wearing prayer shawls and phylacteries — practices and rituals that strict Orthodox Judaism reserves for men.

One week after unveiling an expanded prayer platform near the Western Wall, Israel's Minister of Religious Affairs reached out to Reform and Conservative Jews in the days leading up to Rosh Hashanah, which begins Wednesday evening.But while the non-Orthodox leaders welcomed the new platform that can accommodate up to 450 worshippers, a group of Jewish feminists called it nothing more than "a sun deck" designed to marginalize anyone who is not Ultra-Orthodox from praying at the Wall.

Fearful that Syria might retaliate against Israel if the U.S. launches a military strike, Orthodox Jews and others are demanding the Israeli government distribute gas masks that will fit over their beards.In recent days, as Orthodox Jews and other bearded men have gone to distribution centers to retrieve their protective hood-like gas masks, they learned the government has only a limited supply, earmarked solely for the elderly and people with breathing problems.Demand for protective hoods — as well as standard-issue gas masks — has soared since the U.S. administration confirmed that Syrian civilians were killed last week by chemical weapons.

And all of them experienced the Holocaust.

More than 100 prominent Jewish Americans with varying religious and political viewpoints have thrown their support behind the Israeli government's decision to restart long-stalled peace talks with the Palestinians.In a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the 140 signatories — including former Sen. Joseph Lieberman; professor Alan Dershowitz; philanthropist Charles Bronfman; and Republican Jewish Coalition board member Morris W. Offit — said they appreciated the risks the government is taking to achieve peace.While not everyone in the American Jewish community supports territorial compromise with the Palestinians, the letter represents a fairly broad consensus that Israel must take some risks to reach a peace deal.

More than 1,100 American Jewish athletes will be competing in the Maccabiah Games, known as the "Jewish Olympics" and held in Israel once every four years.This year's event, which begins July 18, brings together more than 9,000 athletes from 77 countries to compete in 38 sporting events. The American contingent is the largest visiting delegation.The Maccabiah attracts well-known and lesser-known athletes. This year's participants include swimmers Garrett Weber-Gale, who won gold medals in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, and Mirjam de Koning-Peper, one of three medal winners in the London 2012 Paralympics.

The Jewish Federations of North America announced Monday that its trustees had passed a resolution in favor of a nonsegregated place where men and women can pray and read from the Torah at the Western Wall, the Jewish holy site.Worshippers at the Western Wall now have two options: separate men's and women's sections, both under the auspices of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, an Orthodox institution.The egalitarian plan will allow the Western Wall to "become a spiritual center for all Jews and a symbol of unity for the entire Jewish community world-wide," the federation statement said.

JERUSALEM — Religious leaders from around the world have stepped up their pleas for the safe return of two Syrian bishops who were kidnapped April 22 by armed men as they were driving near the war-torn city of Aleppo.The kidnappers, who have not been identified, abducted Greek Orthodox Metropolitan Boulos Yazigi and Syriac Orthodox Metropolitan Youhanna Ibrahim, both of Aleppo, while they were undertaking a "humanitarian mission" to help Syria's Christian minority, according to Syrian Christian expatriates in the U.S.The bishops' Syrian Orthodox driver was killed in the attack.Since 2011, more than 70,000 Syrians have died in fighting in the bloody civil war between forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad and rebels seeking to oust Assad's strong-arm regime.

JERUSALEM — Women who want to wear prayer shawls while praying in the women's section of the Western Wall are not breaking the law, according to a landmark decision handed down Thursday by the Jerusalem District Court.Israeli police arrested five women on April 11 who were dressed in prayer shawls while praying with Women of the Wall, an activist group that prays at Judaism's most sacred site once a month.Immediately following those arrests, a lower court judge ruled that the women had not violated "local custom," a legal concept intended to keep the fragile peace at holy sites. The Western Wall is a remnant of the Second Temple that was destroyed nearly 2,000 years ago.

JERUSALEM — The ultra-Orthodox rabbi in charge of the sacred Western Wall assured a government emissary on Thursday that Jewish women will not be arrested if they try to recite the mourner's prayer at the holy site, despite a warning from Israeli police.Tensions have grown between traditional Jews and reform-minded women over prayers at the Western Wall, which contains the remains of the Temple that was destroyed nearly 2,000 years ago.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has tapped Natan Sharansky, chairman of the Jewish Agency, with defusing the conflict and ensuring "that every Jew in the world can pray in the manner that they are accustomed to at Judaism's most important national and religious site," according to a statement issued by the Jewish Agency.

The New York City Commissionon Human Rights is suing ultra-Orthodox Jewish business owners in Brooklyn because they posted signs calling on customers to dress modestly in their stores. The commission said the owners, whose businesses are located in an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood, violated human rights law with signs that read: "No shorts, no barefoot, no sleeveless, no low-cut neckline allowed in this store."Ultra-Orthodox Jews practice a strict form of Judaism; men, women and older children are expected to wear clothes that cover their arms, legs and necklines.

JERUSALEM -- Jews from Manhattan to Mozambique held prayer vigils on Monday to protest the arrest and incarceration of an Israeli feminist as she was leading 250 American Jewish women in prayer at the Western Wall. The Oct. 16 arrest of Anat Hoffman, who co-founded Women of the Wall to enable Jewish women to pray together at the wall, has elicited outrage, especially from American Jews, the vast majority of whom do not practice Orthodox Judaism.The wall, one of the holiest sites in Judaism, has segregated prayer sections for men and women. Israeli regulations on holy sites forbid "conducting a religious ceremony contrary to accepted practice" and "wearing unfit attire." Hoffman was officially arrested on charges of "disturbing public order."

JERUSALEM — Despite international pressure — including support from both U.S. presidential candidates — the International Olympic Committee has refused to include a moment of silence at Friday's (July 27) opening ceremony for Israeli athletes killed by terrorists at the games 40 years ago.President Obama and his likely GOP challenger, Mitt Romney, have both called for the IOC to honor the 11 Israelis murdered in Munich in 1972."We absolutely support the campaign for a moment of silence at the Olympics to honor the Israeli athletes killed in Munich," Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a statement.IOC President Jacques Rogge said a smaller, more somber ceremony would better memorialize the tragedy.IOC officials made a brief statement and held a moment of silence on Monday during a pre-Olympics event in London, where the 2012 games begin on Friday."I would like to start today's ceremony by honoring the memory of 11 Israeli Olympians who shared the ideals that have brought us together in this beautiful Olympic Village," Rogge said.

JERUSALEM — Rabbi Yosef Elyashiv, considered by many the foremost rabbinic authority in the Jewish world, died in Jerusalem on Wednesday. He was 102.Born in Lithuania, Elyashiv moved to Jerusalem with his family at the age of 14, where he was recognized as a budding Torah scholar. Throughout his life Elyashiv wielded a huge influence not only among his fellow ultra-Orthodox Ashkenazi Jews but with many Sephardi Jews as well.His rulings on every matter related to Jewish life, usually seen as extremely conservative, have shaped the way hundreds of thousands of haredim (as ultra-Orthodox Jews are often called) conduct their lives and run their communities.

In a landmark decision, the Israeli branch of Conservative Judaism announced that its rabbinical school will begin to accept gay and lesbian candidates for ordination.Board members of the Schecter Rabbinical Seminary in Jerusalem voted Thursday (April 19) to enroll gay and lesbian students starting in September.The decision follows years of disagreement between leaders of the Conservative movement in the U.S., which permits openly gay and lesbian rabbis, and Masorti leaders in Israel, who have long resisted demands to be more inclusive.

During the month leading up to Passover, which this year begins April 6 at sundown, Chevy Weiss, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish mother with five kids and a demanding career, scrubs and vacuums almost everything in her Baltimore home.In keeping with their strict interpretation of Jewish law, which forbids Jews from possessing and consuming chametz (fermented grains) during the eight-day festival, Weiss and her husband, Yoel, clean every one of their five children's toys by hand, with bleach. While some families clean items in a washing machine, "we wash every piece of Lego individually, like my mother did," said Weiss, a 39-year-old political consultant. "We vacuum every single pocket on every jacket. And we spend significant time with toothpicks getting into cracks of tables and chairs that have been around food." Like other Orthodox families, the Weiss's also purchase chametz-free toiletries, makeup and cleaning supplies for use during the holiday.

JERUSALEM — Israeli postal workers outside Tel Aviv are refusing to deliver thousands of copies of the New Testament and other Hebrew-language Christian materials.Israel media reported Tuesday (March 6) that dozens of religious and secular Jewish mail deliverers jointly informed their supervisors that disseminating the materials goes against their religious beliefs.The workers, who deliver mail in Ramat Gan, assert that delivering the items would be tantamount to proselytizing and therefore a violation of Jewish law.

JERUSALEM — Every year, thousands of Americans travel abroad for less-expensive fertility treatments, hip replacements and other medical procedures. Now, an Israel-based tourism company is offering a package that combines medical care with a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. IsraMedica plans to unveil the initiative Thursday (Feb. 16) at the National Religious Broadcasters convention in Nashville, Tenn. Eli Knoller, the company's vice president of operations, said IsraMedica already brings about 6,000 nonmedical tourists to Israel every year, the majority of them Christian pilgrims.

I woke up this morning when the boat stopped moving and was just rocking in the water with the engine off. I went outside to see what was happening and realised we had stopped for a swim! People were already in the water! I watched for a bit, then went to get my bathers on and went back out and up to the top deck. Apparently you have to jump in from the top of the boat if you want to go swimming! I got up there, and it was really scary! I ...

The prices will come down.
A few weeks ago, my threshold was 40 cents/rd for 9mm. I've been able to find enough to last me a while, so I've lowered my buying threshold to less than 26 cents/rd. If people stop paying the premium prices, especially at gun shows and on armslist, I think ammo will become more plentiful and at more reasonable prices.
I think there are lots of people waiting in line every morning at gun shops that are turning the stuff around for a profit via gun shows/armslist.
Don't feed the inflated prices. Perhaps we can burst the bubble.

Channels made use of in order to start sex livecams are not always solely devoted for that patient, and attendees in any sort of Internet chat may suddenly obtain an information with any sort of feasible variety of the text "Wanna cam?". Porno hd is generally carried out in Internet live discussion (including announcers or even web chats) and on instantaneous messaging devices.

Each event achieves complete management over the period of a cam lesson. Porno hd is actually typically slammed since the companions regularly have little confirmable knowledge regarding each some other.

Please login to recommend the paper.
A provocative paper providing new insights into the onset of Abeta amyloidosis in FAD. It also raises intriguing questions as to whether or not FAD and sporadic AD and Down syndrome evolve in the same locations and same manner. It also raises question about we are how to understand the disconnection between striatal Abeta deposits and the lack of clinical symptoms, signficant neuron loss, and tau pathology linked to striatal accumulations of Abeta deposits.
The work by Klunk and coworkers (2007) demonstrates how incomplete our understanding is of the early neuropathobiological events that occur in both FAD as well as sporadic AD. Interestingly, we recently demonstrated an age-related increase in striatal amyloid-containing plaques associated with neuritic pathology in APPswe/PS1δE9 mice (Perez et al., 2005). Whether striatal plaque pathology is a very early event compared to cortical and hippocampal pathology in these mice remains an unanswered question. If so, then this mutant may be a putative animal model for both AD and FAD as well as the investigation of early treatment strategies.View all comments by Elliott Mufson
These findings suggest more a loss of function of APP/AICD than a gain of toxic function, since there is no correlation between the precise early distribution of amyloid and clinical impairment.

Enstranged Super Eagles striker, Ikechukwu Uche has said that he was surprised by coach Stephen Keshi's declaration that he was an undisciplined player hence he was dropped from his list of players for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Uche has not played for the Eagles since the 2013 Nations Cup where he was used sparringly by coach Keshi. And despite being the highest scoring Nigeria striker in the European League, Keshi has turned his back on the Villarreal of Spain player. He said his reason for not including Uche in his plans was because the player was badly behaved and he rarely played to instructions.
"I do not know the reasons for these statements. Actually I am very surprised. It's very sad for me, but I will not get into this issue," Uche said.
Also his club president Fernando Roig said that Keshi was not very correct with the statement on Uche.
Roig defended the player's character and questioned the rationale of Keshi's statements about the player whose form has been instrumental to the Yellow Submarines' positive run this season.
"I think the coach of Nigeria is not talking about the same Uche playing on our team," the Villarreal President said.
