Scottsdale Healthcare and its joint venture partner Sovereign Healthcare have completed a transaction, acquiring majority ownership of Biltmore Surgical Center in Phoenix, Ariz., according to a Business Wire report.
The transaction allows Scottsdale Healthcare to expand patient access to off-campus outpatient surgery services and strengthen alignment with physicians.
Biltmore Surgical Center opened in late 2010, and Scottsdale Healthcare, through its joint venture with Sovereign, has been a minority partner. Through this transaction, the Scottsdale Healthcare/Sovereign joint venture will now have three majority-owned outpatient surgery centers.
Biltmore Surgical Center will continue to be owned in partnership with almost 25 physician specialists.

Statistical stupidity from NPR
I am no longer surprised when NPR commits a statistical howler.
Today, they aired a touching story about a black hockey player and the racism that he endured. So far, so good.
But then, they go on to say this:
Despite stars like P.K. Subban and Evander Kane, hockey remains a stubbornly white sport. Only about five percent of NHL players are black 28 years after James.
Uh, exactly why is this a problem?
1. Backs are about 12.6 percent of the US population.
2, Blacks are about 2.9 percent of the Canadian population.
3. These days, the NHL gets about 50 percent (just over) of its players from Canada, and just under 25 percent from the United States.
So making the assumption that one would expect zero black players from other than the US or Canada (think of the hockey powers of this world), IF the representation were exactly proportional, we'd expect:
percent, which is about what they have.
So why is 5 percent a problem? My guess: they assume that blacks are grossly over represented in football and basketball, they should be in hockey as well? If so, why?
Of course, this isn't as bad as some idiot academic administrator with a Ph. D. insisting that everyone needs to be above the department average, but …well…let's just say that I am cranky and that NPR comes across as smug.
stats, oz effects, and observant football players….
In the discussions about poverty and racism, I've been very vocal about parents being the ones responsible for feeding their kids. (here and here) Don't have kids that you can't afford to raise properly! Yes, this attitude draws the ire of many, including those who vote the same way that I do.
But when discussing irresponsible parenting, poverty, social pathologies and the like, we need data and we need to analyze it honestly. So, the headlines go: "unwed motherhood is up" and you read:
Census demographers said that single motherhood, while on a steady uptick since the 1940s, has accelerated in recent years. The birth rate for unmarried women in 2007 was up 80 percent in the almost three decades since 1980, the report said. But in the previous five years alone, between 2002 and 2007, it was up 20 percent.
Echoing the findings of many academic studies, the Census Bureau report said women with college degrees and higher household incomes are far less likely to be single mothers than are women who have lower household incomes and less education. […]
Overall, 36 percent of all births in the United States were to unmarried mothers in 2011, the year that the census analyzed from answers provided in the American Community Survey.
In the Washington region, 28 percent of births are to unmarried women. In the District, more than half of all births, 51 percent, were to unwed mothers. Maryland also had a higher rate than the national average, with 39 percent of all births out of wedlock. Virginia, in contrast, had a lower rate than the national average, with 31 percent of births to women who are not married.
The census also found that Asian mothers were the least likely to be unmarried, with just 11 percent of new Asian mothers being single. White single mothers also were below the national average, at 29 percent. Among Hispanics, 43 percent of all new mothers were unmarried, as were 68 percent of all African American women who had recently given birth.
Yep….the percent of births to unwed mothers is up! So, it follows that unwed women (especially black women) are having more kids than before? Uh…no.
Remember: "percent" is a type of fraction and it is: So if the numerator (the top) goes up, the percent goes up. But…if the bottom goes down by more than the top goes down, then the fraction, and hence the percentage, goes up! And we see:
(via the sometimes preachy, finger wagging Tim Wise)
Looking first at the broader issue of so-called "illegitimate children" in the black community, those who forward this argument simply do not understand how to read or interpret basic statistical information. They claim, for instance that the "out-of-wedlock birth rate" for black females has skyrocketed; but in fact, nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, actual birth rates for unmarried black women (which means the number of live births per 1000 such women) has dropped dramatically. From 1970-2010, the birth rate for unmarried black women fell by nearly a third, from 95.5 births per 1000 unmarried black women to only 65.3 births per 1000 such women. In other words, unmarried black women are already doing exactly what conservatives would have them do: namely, having fewer children. This means that even if we were to accept the absurd argument that out-of-wedlock childbearing is evidence of cultural pathology, black culture must then be steadily getting healthier and less pathological, rather than more so. In a given year, for every 100 single black females, between ninety-three and ninety four of them will not have a baby—hardly evidence that out-of-wedlock childbearing is a normative experience for black women.
The common confusion on this issue seems to stem from the fact that although unmarried birth rates have fallen considerably, the share of children born in the black community who are born out of wedlock has indeed doubled since the early 1970s. It sounds like a big deal perhaps, but what does that statistic really signify? If unmarried black women are cutting back on childbearing — and remember, that's what the data says — the increase in the percentage of black births that are births to single moms can't possibly be the result of those moms' increasing "irresponsibility." Rather, this statistical phenomenon must be due to an entirely different factor, and indeed it is: namely, married black couples have cut back even further on childbearing than single moms have. If married black couples are having far fewer children than before, and are cutting back even faster than single women, the overall percentage of births that are out-of-wedlock will rise, owing nothing to the supposedly irresponsible behaviors of single black folks. If black married couples suddenly reverted to their family size norms of fifty years ago, the share of black births to unmarried moms would plummet, even if there were no further drop in the birth rates for single black women at all.
Moral: when talking about "percentage of", remember that you are dealing with a ratio, which has both a numerator and a denominator.
Now of course, this requires actually knowing some mathematics (albeit at an elementary level) and while this makes you smarter and more likely to engage in disciplined thinking, it is unlikely to make you popular. Paul Krugman (speaking about Dr. Oz) explains:
Simon Wren-Lewis had an interesting piece on why the financial sector buys into really bad macroeconomics; he suggested that financial firms aren't really interested in anything but very short-term forecasting, and that
economists working for financial institutions spend rather more time talking to their institution's clients than to market traders. They earn their money by telling stories that interest and impress their clients. To do that it helps if they have the same worldview as their clients.
Thinking about Dr. Oz also, I'd suggest, helps explain a related puzzle: even if you grant that the right wants alleged experts who toe the ideological line, why can't it get guys who are at least competent? Why do they recruit and continue to employ people who can't do basic job calculations, or read their own tables and notice that they're making ridiculous unemployment projections, and so on?
My answer has been that anyone competent enough to avoid these mistakes would also be unreliable — he or she might at some point actually take a stand on principle, or at least balk at completely abandoning professional ethics. And I still think that's part of the story.
But I now also suspect that the personality traits you need to be an effective entertainer on inherently not-so-much-fun subjects like health or monetary policy are inherently at odds with the traits you need to be even halfway competent. If Dr. Oz were the kind of guy who pores over medical evidence to be sure he knows what he's talking about, he probably couldn't project the persona that wins him such a large audience. Similarly, a hired-gun economist who actually knows how to download charts from FRED probably wouldn't have the kind of blithe certainty in right-wing dogma his employers want.
So how do those of us who aren't so glib respond? With ridicule, obviously. It's not cruelty; it's strategy.
Oh, how I see this. Krugman wrote about a famous incident in which a popular trader was confronted with the fact that every bit of advice he gave was completely wrong, and how anyone who listened to him would have lost money. But hey, he really knows how to yell and draw applause:
So, there was a fun moment on CNBC: Rick Santelli went on a rant about inflation and the Fed, and CNBC analyst Steve Liesman went medieval on him:
It's impossible for you to have been more wrong, Rick. Your call for inflation, the destruction of the dollar, the failure of the US economy to rebound. Rick, it's impossible for you to have been more wrong. Every single bit of advice you gave would have lost people money, Rick. Lost people money, Rick. Every single bit of advice. There is no piece of advice that you've given that's worked, Rick. There is no piece of advice that you've given that's worked, Rick. Not a single one. Not a single one, Rick. The higher interest rates never came, the inability of the U.S. to sell bonds never happened, the dollar never crashed, Rick. There isn't a single one that's worked for you.
Of course, he got applause because he shares the same world view of those applauding him.
And my goodness, I think that I've seen some of this locally. When one looks at the leaders of some local institutions, it is easy to tell from watching what moves they make that they really don't know what they are doing. But they are sure good at getting the "right" type of people to like them. I've seen this in the Navy as well. Remember when the US Submarine Greenville sank a Japanese ship because it did a risky surfacing exercise to impress some civilians and didn't follow proper procedures?
The commander of the submarine was a classmate of mine at Annapolis and I went to Nuclear Power school with him. Even then, he was an expert at cutting corners when no one was looking, but telling the superior officers what they wanted to hear when they were around; he convinced them that he "was one of them". It was a type of "affinity fraud".
Now of course, Paul Krumgan is an economist and he talked about losing weight. He never looked fat to me; in fact he looks like many mathematicians in the sense that most of us appear to be normal sized. You notice that at conferences, though my mind's eye detects that, as a group, we are starting to get fatter.
Well, as far as us being more slender than normal:
Now this spread surprises me; I'd guess that firefighters and police officers would be required to stay physically fit. I'd guess wrong, unless this figure is "inflated" by things like private security guards.
Note: I can recommend the article, as it is about the employer's interest in helping employees with their weight problems.
Football players
I can recommend this Jon Stewart video; it is a short clip that attacks the attack on the "don't shoot" and "I can't breathe" protests. If nothing else, listen to the last minute in which a pro football player explains that "a call for justice should threaten no one".
I am not slowing down with age…and the globe isn't warming either.
No, I am not slowing down with age.
1. Tracy Trot 4 miler: 2013: 33:07. 2014: 32:59.
2. Turkey Trot 3 miler: 2013: 24:56. 2014: 24:53
3. River Run: (Certified course) 2011: 26:56. 2012: 25:03 2013: 24:56 2014: 24:42
4. Race for the Cure: 2012: 25:13. 2013: 25:48. 2014: 25:27
5. Run to Remember: 2012: 24:34. 2014: 24:17
6. Best 4 5K runs: 2011: 25:43. 2012: 25:01 2013: 25:04 2014: 24:56
So, by all but one metric (Race for the Cure), I am getting faster with age!
Is that absurd?
Of course it is; in 1998 I ran a few 5Ks under 20 minutes; from 1997 to 1999 I was typically under 21 and my last sub 21 was in 2001; last 7 minutes a mile pace or faster was 2002.
What the mild "local improvement" represents is my improving after knee surgery in 2010; in 2009 I was running mostly 24:00 to 24:20 or so.
Why I bring this up: you see similar absurdities in climate change denial.
Limits of "Common Sense"…
Workout notes It was 23 F and sunny when I started a run (shuffle, really) and I had intended to go 10K. I ended up doing my double corn stalk course; I didn't start my stop watch but estimate that I ran the 8.1 miles in roughly 1:31-1:32. It wasn't much of an effort; very slow and steady.
Ferguson shooting
Yes, African Americans have a reason to worry about encounters with police. But the risk of being killed by police is low compared to other risks. It is just that mundane murders and accidents, while FAR, FAR more numerous, don't make the news nearly as often.
In fact, people often struggle to understand how statistics affects their lives. For example, much of the time, early detection isn't of much value for many types of cancers. Many cancers aren't dangerous, others multiply so rapidly that early detection doesn't help much; there is only a few types of cancers that early detection helps with. This shows up statistically.
Statistics can be brought to bear on "miracle stories" as well:
A bit more about science : evidently some science magazines are trying to increase sales by manufacturing a "crisis" in evolutionary theory that just isn't there. Sure, there IS debate as to the mechanisms of evolution and research continues to be done. But that is really more "status quo".
And no: just because evolution doesn't make sense TO YOU doesn't mean that it isn't true, no matter what your religion says.
Speaking of religion Jerry Coyne points us to this humorous cartoon:
Misleading statistical correlations
I've talked about something like this before.
In Peoria: the "flagship" running race is the Steamboat races: there is a flat 4 mile race which attracts elite runners as well as most of the "casual" runners, and a very hilly 15k race (9.3 mile) which does NOT attract elite competition, but does attract many "serious" amateur runners.
Hence you get the following (I used what was my age group (50-54) as a comparison):
4 mile men: 138 finishers, median time 37:05, median pace: 9:16
15K men: 45 finishers, median time 1:19:50, median pace: 8:344 mile women: 128 finishers median time 46:10, median pace: 11:32
15K women: 27 finishers, median time: 1:28:41, median pace: 9:32
So, if one were to blindly use statistical correlation, one might conclude that one speeds up when one switches from running a flat 4 mile (6.4 km) course to a far hillier, 15K (9.3 mile) one.
Of course, what is going on is that the shorter race tends to attract the more casual runners; few people (especially 50 year old people) decided on a whim to see how fast they can do 15K, especially if they aren't an experienced runner.
This is an example of "regression to the mean"; note how much larger the 4 mile groups are.
But a look at statistics reveals something else.
At this weekend's 4 miler, I noticed that I placed "better" among "all males" (42/82) than I did among the 50-59 old males (6/8); that is .53 to .75. I figured: "ok, small race" and decided to take a look at the Steamboat 15K statistics.
So, in my age group, I was 38/43 or .88; but MY SAME TIME would have gotten me 40/60 (.67) in the 35-39 and 46/60 (.76) in 30/34. Once again, my performance placed me better in YOUNGER age groups than in older ones.
So, does this mean that "getting older makes you faster?" Uh, no. My times as a 38 and 39 year old were 1:08 and 1:07 respectively; lately I've been pushing 1:30 in this race.
So, just what is going on?
Here is my conjecture: perhaps a "fit but not that serious about running workout bro" might decide to take a crack at the 15K without doing a lot of specific running training, but when one gets into their 50's, only the more serious runners even attempt the distance?
In other words, the folks I used to beat in my age group so many years ago are no longer running, and only those who used to beat me are still out there.
Then one might also point out that while my age group placing is suffering, I am actually improving next to ALL 50 year olds, since, at races, I am comparing myself to the 50 year olds who regularly race.
That is, I am too stupid to admit that I suck at running and to just give it up. :-)
Class, Gaussians and Islam in the world…
Islam in the world I wrote about this earlier. Evidently many conflate criticism of Islam (and its practices) with a justification for discrimination against Muslims; those are very different things. A Pakistani woman wrote an open letter to explain why the points brought up by Bill Maher and Sam Harris are worthy ones:
And in yesterday's issue of Pakistan Today, you'll find her piece: "An open letter to Ben Affleck". As a few quotes below will show, she goes after Affleck for trying, as she argues, to minimize the plight of Muslim women like her. Just a bit to give you the flavor:
Noble liberals like yourself always stand up for the misrepresented Muslims and stand against the Islamophobes, which is great but who stands in my corner and for the others who feel oppressed by the religion? Every time we raise our voices, one of us is killed or threatened. I am a blogger and illustrator, no threat to anyone, Ben, except for those afraid of words and drawings. I want the freedom to express myself without the very real fear that I might be killed for it. Is that too much to ask?
When I wrote a children's book that carried a message of diversity and inclusivity for everyone, my life changed. My book, 'My Chacha (uncle) is Gay' has the innocent anti-homophobia message, 'Love belongs to everyone'. This was not palatable to many of my Muslim brothers and sisters.
Since that project I have been declared an 'enemy of God' and deemed worthy of death. All because I want to help create a world where South Asian children too can have their stories told, so they too can know that love comes in all forms, and that that's okay. My Muslim brothers and sisters were hit hard by this work because it addresses the issue of homophobia within our own community. It is not something they can pass off as 'Western' immorality. Just like they deny that any issues exist within the doctrine of Islam, many deny that homosexuality exists amongst good, 'moral' Muslims. Just like that, millions of people's existence is denied. Please do not defend people who think this way, and let me tell you Ben, many 'good' Muslims do think this way.
What you did by screaming 'racist!' was shut down a conversation that many of us have been waiting to have. . . You became an instant hero, a defender of Islam.
Here is something to remember: the most radical right wing American Christians would be …flaming liberals if they were Muslims:
In your culture you have the luxury of calling such literalists "crazies", like the Westboro Baptist Church, for example. In my culture, such values are upheld by more people than we realise. Many will try to deny it, but please hear me when I say that these are not fringe values. It is apparent in the lacking numbers of Muslims willing to speak out against the archaic Shariah law. The punishment for blasphemy and apostasy, etc, are tools of oppression. Why are they not addressed even by the peaceful folk who "aren't fanatical, who just want to have some sandwiches and pray five times a day? Where are the Muslim protestors against blasphemy laws/apostasy? Where are the Muslims who take a stand against harsh interpretation of Shariah? These sandwich-eating peaceful folk do not defend those suffering in the name of Islam, Ben, and therein lies our problem.
Accuracy in media
Here is an example of Fox News reporting something that is blatantly false, but not issuing a correction. The claim was that Colorado law allowed for people to print out their own ballots; that is only true for Military personnel living overseas.
Epic Class Warfare rant
Marc Randazza is a famous First Amendment lawyer. He can't stand some attitudes exhibited by some rich people, even though he is well off. Read his "candy woman" rant.
Ok, I have a few hang ups about Halloween Trick or Treaters but these tend to be "Larry Davidish".
Mathematics and statistics Some statistical distributions appear over and over again. This one appears to be half Gaussian, half exponential.
My take on Birthdays
Now, if there is some omnipotent deity that knows when you will die, this is correct. But as someone else points out: we die via a "bathtub curve" function.
That is, given our current age, say , we have an "expected time left to live and as we age, the quantity increases, even though, after the risk of early death is over, is a decreasing function of .
Of course, is changed if there is a war, famine, pestilence, etc.
Golden Rule, Statistics, etc.
The Golden Rule
The Golden Rule states: "do onto others as you would have done onto you" or something like that.
But that sometimes fails. Here is a quick example:
When I go out and run or walk, I like to "get away from it all"; I usually go alone and just get it in. I might take in sights of various kinds. But for me, it is "just go".
Personally, I prefer what happens on popular running paths in Chicago or Austin: no one greets you. You just go. That doesn't mean that there isn't interaction; on occasion I've gotten in an impromptu race with someone who wouldn't let me pass. That is fine.
But in small towns, people like to greet. If someone greets me, I wave and that is about it. Those who can give a prolonged Good Moooorning! aren't working hard enough, IMHO. Some want to stop and chat.
So, what would I like to be "done onto me"???? I want to be left alone. But around here, most don't want that.
In football, most of the time (with the exception of a North Dakota State here or there), FCS teams lose to FBS teams, and non-BCS teams lose to BCS teams. The main reason is that the bigger time programs, well, recruit better players. Now they don't get them all; on occasion a gem gets passed over only to eventually end up on an NFL team. It does happen. But, statistically speaking, the better players end up in the "power programs", and the win-loss records demonstrate this. Statistically speaking, the scouts usually get it right, though there are always exceptions.
The same holds true in academics. For example, here and there you might see a person with a 24 ACT do well in mathematics or engineering. But the vast majority of the time, they do not. In the long run, the tests do a decent job of predicting, though they do miss a few people.
Bias of many types…and a walk
Today's workout: end of "leisure" workout. I did my 8.1 cornstalk course in 2 hours (some rain…I didn't get that wet) and then 2 more miles on the treadmill: 12:00/11:20 to get 23:20. I wanted to do at least a little faster than marathon pace.
RIP: BKS Lyengar, famous yogi and author of Light on Yoga.
Here he is in 1977 when he was in his late 50's. What flexibility, strength, and body control!
Survivorship bias: this is the annoying tendency to see, say, a dozen successful companies, see what they have in common, and then conclude that what they have in common is what made them successful. Nope; you have to see how many companies did those same things and WERE NOT successful, among other things. From the article:
This is what Pomona College economist Gary Smith calls the "survivor bias," which he highlights as one of many statistically related cognitive biases in his deeply insightful book Standard Deviations (Overlook, 2014). Smith illustrates the effect with a playing card hand of three of clubs, eight of clubs, eight of diamonds, queen of hearts and ace of spades. The odds of that particular configuration are about three million to one, but Smith says, "After I look at the cards, the probability of having these five cards is 1, not 1 in 3 million." […]
Smith found a similar problem with the 1982 book In Search of Excellence (more than three million copies sold), in which Tom Peters and Robert Waterman identified eight common attributes of 43 "excellent" companies. Since then, Smith points out, of the 35 companies with publicly traded stocks, 20 have done worse than the market average.
Depression I talked about depression in an earlier post. Here is some of what science knows about it right now:
See the subtle racism here? The idea is that this black Attorney General who has spoken out about race relations is somehow too "emotionally invested" or biased to be even handed. Why would a black Attorney General be any less evenhanded than a white one? And shouldn't we be far more concerned with an Attorney General who did NOT see race relations as a problem?
Here: Kansas City police officer posts a snarky post about Michael Brown's character (the dead teenager in Ferguson) and shows a photo of a young black man with a gun and money in his mouth. But this black man is some guy in Oregon…not Michael Brown. It is amusing that police officers everywhere are telling us to not to rush to judgement but… :-)
I suppose that given that we have 300+ million people in this country and a lot of police officers, a few are bound to be crackpots.
Racism in sports
Sadly, some African American athletes have racist stuff directed at them. Here is an example (Eddie Chambers, an elite boxer)
Politics: emotional issues robs us of abstract reasoning ability…
Good Vox article here. Moral (for me): mathematical and statistical reasoning really disciplines our thinking, BUT does not convince non-technical people.
This is one reason discussing issues with people outside of math, science and engineering departments is so difficult for me.

The discovery of this vulnerability has been made public by ICS-CERT and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), both of whom issued alerts, but assured that there is no indication that such attacks have ben already spotted in the wild.
They have, understandably, not shared the names of the manufacturers and the devices that have been found to be affected by the flaw.
"ICS-CERT and the FDA have notified the affected vendors of the report and have asked the vendors to confirm the vulnerability and identify specific mitigations," confirmed the former organization, adding that both orgs will follow up with specific advisories and information as appropriate.
In the meantime, health care facilities have been urged to evaluate their network security and protect their hospital system by restricting unauthorized access to the network and networked medical devices, keeping antivirus software and firewalls up-to-date, monitoring network activity for unauthorized use, protecting individual network components through routine and periodic evaluation, developing and evaluating strategies to maintain critical functionality during adverse conditions, and contacting the specific device manufacturer if they think they may have a cybersecurity problem related to a medical device.
"Many medical devices contain configurable embedded computer systems that can be vulnerable to cybersecurity breaches. In addition, as medical devices are increasingly interconnected, via the Internet, hospital networks, other medical device, and smartphones, there is an increased risk of cybersecurity breaches, which could affect how a medical device operates," pointed out the FDA.

Reviews of The Matrix 1999
This movie is so incredibly campy that I wonder why we didn't realize it in 1999. I remember that this movie was considered fresh and exciting and even "thoughtful" (a word I myself used in an old college-era Livejournal review). Watching it in 2015, this movie is simply preposterous. Perhaps all of the overt bullet-time parodies desensitized us to how silly bullet-time was to begin with.
Don't get me wrong: this movie is really fun. It's campy, but it's not…
I once read a review of "The Avengers" where the reviewer claimed that it would be 'Star Wars for the new generation'. While I vehemently disagree with that statement, if there was ever a film I could ever see coming close to that sort of power, it would be The Matrix.
I remember being a kid and messing around with my friends, pretending to be Neo as he bends back to dodge the bullets. Not knowing the context or even…
The Matrix was perhaps not quite as amazing as I remembered it but still a really good movie. The action scenes held up very well, the premise remained interesting and the exposition dumps were handled nicely. Unfortunately though, a fair amount of the philosophy 101 dialogue just came across as pretentious and no longer seemed as cool as it once did; for example, "it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself" was just laughable. I still love…
I have always had a wildly wobbly ambivalence about this movie. It's an interesting combination of elements; too good to dismiss, too shitty to excuse, and too magnificently of its time to try to judge outside of it.
At its core, and I think at its best, it's a superlative, groundbreaking, influential action movie, and one with Hugo Weaving as a great villain. Nothing else really looked like this in 1999 (Blade came close) and people were riffing on and…
There have been many copycat movies since the Matrix. Some have done very well, but others have been awful.
The same could be said about the Matrix trilogy.
This first movie as a standalone is superb. Unlike any movie before it and with an excellent concept.
Unfortunately, the pretentious nonsense started soon afterwards.
Not that good. I was surprised at how bad the acting and directing and everything was. How was this movie so revolutionary?
A genuinely interesting concept realised in the most stylish way imaginable. Ignore the fluff and a few wooden performances and you have probably the best sci-fi film of the 90s.
Still the Wachowski's worst film by a light-year. Watching The Matrix is like buying a cool new video game only to have somebody read you the instruction manual. The first twenty minutes are all about asking "what is the Matrix?" And the hour that follows is the Wachowski's answering that question...over and over and over again, at the expense of developing any story or any real villain. I'm not sure how this film gets away with spending half its running…
I hadn't seen this movie in a really long time. I have to say that the first 30 minutes of this movie were my only complaint. I consider them to be good, no less but no more than that. If i were to rate the first 30 minutes i would give them 3.5/5. But after them i remembered why this movie is so great. There was a lot of tension, the story unfolds greatly and the action sequences were some…
Ich hatte ganz vergessen wie gut der ist. Coole, innovative Action und die Geschichte ist spannend und interessant. Dazu der wahnsinnig tolle Look und der perfekt passende Cast.
Meilenstein. -
"Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?"
This will always be a favourite of mine. I still remember the very moment I first saw this, I was 13 years old, sitting on my floor, with my legs crossed, staring at the TV in utter wonder, thinking, WTF did I…

Oklahoman Business Writer Steve Lackmeyer hosted his weekly OKC Central Live Chat on Friday at the recently opened Ambassador Hotel in Midtown with owner Paul Coury and General Manager Jeff Erwin. The following is an edited transcript of the conversation with NewsOK readers. OKC Central Live Chat is hosted every Friday at 10 a.m.
Ambassador Hotel owner: Midtown needs a parking garage
Q: You have hotels in Tulsa, Kansas City, Wichita and now Oklahoma City. What made you all decide to stay and operate hotels here versus opening hotels in larger markets?
Paul Coury: We focus more on regional, second-tier markets. Our goal is to expand into bigger cities over the next five years.
Q: What is one thing Midtown is lacking that you think would make a big impact on the area?
Coury: A parking garage is the biggest thing. All the other things are in place; residential, bars, restaurants, retail. It's a good mix. It's a very charming area.
Q: What made you all decide on the Osler building in Midtown versus some of the other older buildings in other parts of the city?
Coury: This building has always caught my eye. It looked like a hotel to me. It was a historical building, which is something I try to do. The area seemed ready for it.
Q: There is so much development going on in your immediate vicinity (Edge apartments, Fassler/Dust bowl, H&8th, Saints Anthony's, Food Truck court, etc). Which development are you most excited about?
Coury: The Ambassador Hotel (laughs). I think the food trucks are fun. They've been very successful in Tulsa on Guthrie Greens. I think it will bring a whole other element of people. I'm seeing elsewhere they're doing retail trucks, where they have boutique clothing — it looks so cool. People were lined up. I think this will be the next wave. It's portable. You move it to the people.
Q: What were some of the challenges with the Osler building that you weren't expecting?

This topic contains 8 replies, has 6 voices, and was last updated by mal crosher 9 months, 3 weeks ago.
November 9, 2013 at 4:11 am #15129
Hello shifters , Does somebody knows the brand of this engine. There are no names or signs on the engine.
November 9, 2013 at 4:25 am #15130Looks like something old European from Pavesi, Parilla, May be Rotax?
November 9, 2013 at 6:16 am #15133Not sure of brand but considering the rotary valve intake it must be a Formula C engine from the late 90s early 2000s.
November 9, 2013 at 6:53 am #15134I agree, Formula C with the rotary induction. Could be from a bit earlier than that, Greg.
I ran TM's, and by the mid-90's, most of the head designs were going to a more rounded shape, like the TM KV95, compared to the previous generation like the TM KV92 that had more of a square head shape, like we see in the picture.
That said, all I remember from the pre-KV95 days was TM and Pavesi. Once the KV95 came out, there seemed to be a lot more options – Vortex, CRS, KZH… Could be that they came into the game with an older head design? I don't remember anymore.
November 9, 2013 at 6:58 am #15135Mind you, I think some, like CRS, only made a reed valve FC engine, not a rotary.
November 9, 2013 at 7:20 am #15137After houres of googeling I found this pictures,it's not 100% the same but I'm on the right track now !
Thanks for your answersNovember 10, 2013 at 5:48 am #15171That could even be a real old reed valve. Look up the TM KL. It's the predecessor to the K7 reed, which was the first shifter I had (and still have one in the garage). The KL was a reed with intake on the side of the case.
May 11, 2014 at 11:00 am #27263It is ridiculous, a huge stuff but nothing you can see about the manufacturers details or where it was made from.. it is unusual for a sophisticated mechanical equipment to have no brand name at all. If their where would be the service center if this equipment have an issue? For the manufacturer of this equipment I suggest that they must do a proper naming brand, and I think EatMyWords.com would be perfect for this.. for the manufacturer of this one, they must visit URL of Eat my Words so they can learn to know some details before everything else.
May 12, 2014 at 8:39 pm #27359Looks early 90's mac minarrelli / Power engine to me . Try UK superkart forum etc , someone there should be able to assist.

Michigan hosts Ohio State on Sunday afternoon with a chance to avenge its 19 point loss in Columbus – which it suffered despite playing with a complete roster. Now the short-handed Wolverines will hope to find a way to slow down D'Angelo Russell and the Buckeyes and snap their five-game losing streak.
Michigan hosts Michigan State this evening (9 p.m., ESPN) as it looks to break a four game losing streak without the services of Caris LeVert and Derrick Walton. The Wolverines took the Spartans to overtime in East Lansing and will be hoping their home crowd can turn the rematch in their favor.
Michigan faces Illinois this evening (9 p.m., ESPN) with hopes of keeping its slim NCAA tournament chances alive. The Wolverines won the first matchup thanks to six threes from Aubrey Dawkins, but will have their hands full against an Illinois team that has won its last three games.
Michigan heads to Assembly Hall on Sunday to face the Indiana Hoosiers. The Wolverines have lost their last five games in Bloomington and will be looking to bounce back from a deflating home loss to Iowa on Thursday. Indiana touts one of the Big Ten's best offenses and premiere three-point shooting attacks.
Michigan hosts Iowa this evening (7:00 p.m., ESPN) in search of a quality victory to bolster its NCAA tournament hopes. The Wolverines have fared well against the Hawkeyes at home, but will be facing one of the tallest teams in the country.
Michigan heads to the Breslin Center this weekend to renew its rivalry with Michigan State. The Wolverines have won six of the last nine meetings between the two programs, but will have their hands full in East Lansing against a Spartan team that will be hungry for revenge.
Michigan hosts Nebraska this evening with a chance to bounce back from Saturday's home loss to Wisconsin. The Cornhuskers have one of the best defenses in the Big Ten, but have struggled to score points this season despite featuring one of the conference's best wing duos in Terran Petteway and Shavon Shields.
The standings say that Michigan and Wisconsin are only separated by a half game, but in reality the two teams couldn't be further apart. Wisconsin is a legitimate threat to go back to the Final Four, the odds on favorite to win the Big Ten, and features a National Player of the Year candidate in its starting lineup. Michigan just lost its best player for the season and while the Wolverines have scrapped and clawed their way to a 5-2 Big Ten record, the wins are over teams with a combined 7-26 record.
Michigan gets its first taste of life without Caris LeVert this evening and is expected to have limited reserves on hand. The injury report also features Derrick Walton (turf toe), Spike Albrecht (sick), Ricky Doyle (sick), Kameron Chatman (knee), Zak Irvin (sick) and DJ Wilson (knee). The Wolverines are wounded and shorthanded, but still have one of their best remaining opportunities to steal a road victory of the season.
The Wolverines will look to put Tuesday's disappointing blowout loss at Ohio State in the rear view mirror as they host Northwestern for a Saturday evening tilt at the Crisler Center.
Michigan heads to Columbus this evening as a heavy underdog, but with a golden opportunity to revive its season against Ohio State. The Buckeyes will lean on freshman phenom D'Angelo Russell, their transition offense and a shift back to man-to-man defense.
Michigan has won its last six games against Minnesota, dating back to 2011, but Saturday's contest will put that streak at risk. The Gophers travel to Ann Arbor on the heels of three straight Big Ten losses — at Purdue, at Maryland and at home to Ohio State – and searching for positive momentum to turn their season around.

NORMAN — With Blake Bell behind center last weekend, Oklahoma's offense was clearly more effective and efficient than it was in the Sooners' first two games.
Oklahoma football: What were the Sooners thinking naming Trevor Knight the starter?
Bell completed more than 70 percent of his pass attempts, threw for 413 yards and tossed four touchdown passes. Oklahoma scored 51 points, doubling its combined scoring from wins over Louisiana-Monroe and West Virginia.
So how exactly did Trevor Knight outshine Bell and win the Sooners' starting quarterback position in the preseason?
Did the redshirt freshman buckle under the pressure of live game action? Could coaches really get a good feel for Knight's big-play ability when he's wearing a blue jersey and can't be hit in practice? Is Bell just a "gamer" who doesn't practice well but kicks it up a notch in games?
Whatever it was, Bob Stoops adamantly denied Monday that his staff picked an offense, not a quarterback.
"No truth to that whatsoever," Stoops said.
Oklahoma's offense, though, looked entirely different against Tulsa than it did with Knight running the show. There were fewer read-option plays and many more snaps out of formations with four wide receivers.
"We would have been in four wides with Trevor in the game, too," Stoops said. "First of all, defenses are different. … We can pick and choose when we want to be this, when we want to be that. That's all part of game planning. As we've gone through the entire spring and summer, there isn't an offense for one guy and an offense for another guy."

This is Judas Iscariot's monologue after betraying Christ and then Satan's response:
Why me? Sigh me, what u buy me?
Don't you lie me, know it's grimey,
Maybe slimey, maybe time me
Cause hell done open up behind me.
Up above you aint gon find me.
Under foot you look inside me
Below the line, i'm on my grind
Here's the way i end my rhyme:
Judas you screwed it why do this you knew it.
I blame me and frame me, demons they maim me.
Crossed him you bossed him exhaust it you lost it.
Hang yo head, you betta be dead
Cause yo sons are the ones with the hands run red.
No rez on ya chest if ya chest done bled.
So instead go head and put it to bed.
Your soul trip 6 cause you Satan's sled:
"Highway is my way a driveway to Die-way,
Christ for ice like a hiest pulled thrice
No dome to the throne but I gave you a loan,
You had it, you ratted, you spat it, i grabbed it.
Nab him and stab him and slab him, i ran it.
Dig him in to the side of the planet.
Lord from the womb, now lord of the tomb.
Y'all slept on him, so i found him a room."

Do you rap for your students or do rap related lessons? I would love a teacher like you.
^ I do rap for my students and I also use A LOT of rap in my lessons. In fact, I really started rapping seriously a couple of years ago when I did it for my student teaching. Here's another thread where there's more discussion of what goes on in my classroom:

Roland Petit's Carmen, Coliseum, London
A fitting farewell to a giant of dance
English National Ballet's celebration of Roland Petit became sadly timely with the French choreographer's death earlier this month.
This triple bill now serves as an obituary on stage, showing off Petit's sense of theatre, his eye for strong personality in dance and design.
The evening is dominated by Carmen, perhaps his most famous work. The title role, created in 1949 for his wife Zizi Jeanmaire, is a bold image of Bizet's heroine. Like Jeanmaire, English National Ballet's Begoña Cao wears her hair cropped as short as her costume. Petit's choreography puts Carmen's allure and defiance into her legs, which stalk and stamp out rhythms on pointe. Carmen's hips dip and thrust as she eyes prospective lovers over the top of her fan. Cao's big eyes and frank presence make her a dynamic Carmen. She rubs up against Fabian Reimair's Don José, arching a strong back in Petit's famously explicit choreography.
Design was always important to Petit. Antoni Clavé's set and costumes have a pungent, poster quality, with sharp colours and dashing lines. Zigzag lines make the women's bodices stand out; little lanterns glow in the tavern scene.
Carmen is a ballet of broad and witty strokes. There's a cabaret energy to Petit's group scenes, as his rough-haired corps de ballet swing chairs and strut. Bizet's score is arranged with a swagger, the big tunes brought in to make an immediate theatrical point. Petit fits his big gestures to the music's flourishes; he tends not to dig deeper.
A few roles have gone over the top, with an exaggerated Toreador from James Streeter. Overall, ENB give a vigorous performance, responding to the ballet's colour and force.
L'Arlésienne, based on Alphonse Daudet's play, was created in 1974. The hero yearns for something offstage, despite his girlfriend's attempts to comfort and keep him. Behind them, a line of dancers stamp and twist in unison. Those big blocks of dance echo Nijinska's Les Noces, though without Nijinska's elemental power. Estaban Berlanga throws himself into the hero role, building overwrought emotions through virtuoso steps.
Virtuoso men queue up to dance Le Jeune Homme et la Mort and Jonah Acosta looks young and vulnerable, while making explosive use of his technique. As he hangs himself, Georges Wakhévitch's garret set flies out to reveal a Paris skyline, lit up by winking neon. It's a grand gesture, a coup de théâtre that is very Petit.
