Age structure of Greenland ice sheet
Today this came up on my Google Scholar alert for 'age-structure' (*)
"Radiostratigraphy and age structure of the Greenland Ice Sheet" (paywalled, I think)
Here is a YouTube video showing age-structure cross-sections of what I suppose to be the same data (not paywalled!)
This is an example of a non-biological aggregate for which we care much more about the thanatological age structure (years left) than the chronological age structure. And it could also be (and probably is, I'm no earth scientist) modeled as a renewal process (winter accumulate, summer thaw), where the longevity of ice sheet 'birth cohorts' will depends on the cumulative net rate of accumulation (or something like that). In like manner, the top-melting over the course of a year is like a thanatological death cohort. Obviously the models needed here are much more complex than this, but it seems like a relevant segue for the Lotka-Euler renewal model both in its chronological and thanatological forms (the later one is a paper I'm soon to submit somewhere).
And here's another video of age-structured ice, this time in the arctic. This one might do better as an age-structured renewal model because depth is less a factor than in Greenland:
*yes, it's a wide net, but I cast it to catch things like this
Why are there sometimes decimals in HMD death counts?
Since joining the HMD I often get questions, but usually these are special-case questions, not of general interest. This is one is starting to seem frequent. In fact, I've asked that this response make it to the FAQ. That may or may not happen, and in either case, here's my response:
(This is HMD-specific, just to be clear)
Why are many death counts not represented as integers?
There are several reasons why this may happen. (i) Often, deaths of unknown age are distributed (proportionately) over deaths of known age, and this produces decimals. (ii) If input death counts have an open age group, we also distribute this quantity over higher ages using a method outlined in the Methods Protocol. (iii) In some cases, historical infant death counts have been adjusted due to changes in the definition of live births, and these methods may also produce decimals. (iv) In most cases where death counts are represented in Lexis shapes other than that in which they were collected, decimal fractions will result. For instance, 5-year age groups that are split into single ages usually produce decimal estimates in single ages (see Methods Protocol). The same is true of period-cohort counts that are split and combined into age-period counts. (v) Other unique circumstances, such as special data collection procedures (USA) or wartime estimation (ITA, FRA, etc), or the estimation of small but bounded counts (AUS) may also produce decimal death count data. In all cases, even though fractional deaths are impossible, we use them as the best estimate available.
See you at #PAA2015 ! Here's where to find me:
This year's PAA is going to be loads of fun. You can find me there (not necessarily in chronological order):
1) Hosting the session 63 on visualizing demographic data! Four great papers to be presented there, plus discussion from dataviz master, Robert Chung.
2) Poster session 2: "Distributional Aspects of Time to Death in Human Populations". This is a newish idea (for me anyway) that Vladimir Canudas Romo and Adam Lenart are helping me work on and think through clearly (although both may need to ghost-out of the program, due to excessive productivity!).
3) Poster session 4: "Time-to-Death Patterns in Markers of Age and Dependency". I presented in December in Vienna, and am in the middle of writing up a proper paper. There is a lot to be said! Paul Chung (Pil H Chung), Jeroen Spijker (he's going back to the CED soon!) and John MacInnes are also working on this with me. (I'll have to remove my name from the program due to the PAA quota rule, ouchy.)
4) Session 234 on the formal demography of mortality, presenting the paper "Life Lost, Lifesaving, and Causes of Death." Aida Sole i Auro is also working on this with me, and helping me think it through clearly.
5) Session 147 on mortality trends: Magali Barbieri will present the paper "The Cardiovascular Revolution in the United States. A Geographic Analysis", where my role thus far has been in programming. Nadine Oullette (institutionally correct, but this page does no justice!), Mila Andreeva (formerly of CUNY and HMD) and Celeste Winant (HMD) are also involved in diverse aspects of authorship behind this paper. (The program quota also killed me from this one)
6) the EDSD alumni brew-ha-ha, which I'll try to get moving along sometime soon. This is just an announcement that there will be one, I just don't know anything about the logistics of it yet. I'll post it on this site once something is known.
7) At the HFD side-meeting, on April 29, 12:00, demonstrating an easy way to get HFD and HFC data into R.
* and other social gatherings, of course (Berkeley, CED) *
Moving to #MPIDR , Rostock, July 1, 2015
In July, 2015 I'll start as a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock, Germany! Awesome place, as are all the demography hubs that I've been fortunate enough to stop at and stay a while: CED, Lund, Berkeley. It's time to focus on research-- that's why I'm making the move. I'm grateful to the HMD team and to everyone in the Department of Demography for teaching me so much and making me feel at home the past years. I learned a lot, both from getting my hands dirty with the HMD methods protocol and expanding my bag of formal demographic tricks (these float in the department). Actually it turns out I may not so easily shake off the HMD Methods Protocol, but that's another story. There's always someone to talk with about crazy demography ideas in Berkeley. It's a geek bank that I look forward to visiting regularly-- and getting everything I can out of in the next 6 months! Both Berkeley and Rostock have been in flux the past few years, due to moves and retirements and the like, and it's pleasing to see that both are now stable and growing.
So what's the plan at the MPIDR? I get to work on all my currently-neglected papers. Recent and forthcoming conference presentations are representative of my work, so you could pack it together and call it an agenda. The present thematic unity is coincidental, though, since it's due to a curiosity-driven random walk. So now (err, starting in July) I'll walk with greater purpose and for the sake of walking, rather than walking between tasks. The idea is to get more walking in, and in fact only walk, and hopefully even run. You get the idea.
Why at the MPIDR? Because it has lots of really good people. Lots of them! There are always different people coming and going- they make lots of use of the Guest Researcher funding instruments to bring people in for short and long stays. That's lots of people to pester with questions, good for me. Lots of projects to learn from and give to (This is true of everywhere I've been... I guess sometimes just a change of scenery helps) And it's the hub of the European Doctoral School of Demography (EDSD), exciting, and institutionally close to everywhere that does demography in Europe, including the CED (Ort meiner demografische Erziehung). Ich will/muss sowieso mein Deutsch auffrischen, so there's that. And mostly for the no-strings-attached research freedom.
FYI, there are open calls for several PhD,postdoc, and research scientist jobs at the MPIDR. Look into those!
In case there isn't a happy hour (err, subjective wellbeing seminar) yet at the MPIDR... can you can darn toot'n well count on there being one in the near future. I'll bet they have one, though, what with having a great local brewery. I wonder if they've ever made a demography-themed beer label? How could you not?
Happy 2015 everyone, and see you at PAA!
@HFDtracker to track HFD updates
OK, I gave in. Not there is a Twitter account tracking Human Fertility Database updates, @HFDtracker
It does the exact same thing as @HMDtracker and will likely format in a similar way.
@HMDtracker: HMD update announcements via Twitter
The HMD updates on a rolling basis, and until now the only update feed was the What's New page, or else by manually browsing the metadata on the website. Andrew Noymer and Mikko Myrsklä both requested an announcement service. While the HMD is pondering a rare newsletter to announce major changes, we can't exactly send out spam each time a series is revised. So, I set up a twitter account to automatically relay updates made to the What's New page.
The Tweets are dry and look like this:
So, just follow on Twitter to get updates
Details, in case anyone wants to replicate for other pages. It works like this:
1) track the What's New page using page2rss.com (spits changes into an RSS feed). You could just do this step and then subscribe to the RSS feed in your favorite blog reader...
2) pipe the RSS feed into @HMDtracker on Twitter using an account on twitterfeed.com
it's super easy and free to set up. I am not going to go and set up a system like this for each country in the HMD, but a motivated individual could certainly do so, and it would also work for any number of other oft-used data sources, such as the HFD, which also has a What's New page.
A few weeks ago I decided to send this (asocial, pseudo) blog's RSS feed to Twitter using step 2... works OK, not the prettiest tweets, but it's automatic anyway.
Old people
The other day Dr. James Carey gave a varied talk at Berkeley Demography. One of the awesome things he whipped out was this picture:
These are sketches of people, by people, from during the last ice age, ca 15000 BCE. Zoom in and guess how old they are? Some of those faces are of elderly people. In a CAVE in the ICE AGE. See more here. There were always old people, it's not some exclusively modern phenomenon, it's just that not so many people made it past childhood back then, so average lifespans were low.
Going to Vienna conference "New Measures of Age and Ageing"!
I'm super excited to have just found out that I'll be able to present a paper at the New Measures of Age and Ageing conference in Vienna, December 3-5, 2014. Our proposal (this work is together with Pil H. Chung, Jeroen Spijker and John MacInnes) is tentatively titled: "Time-to-death patterns in markers of age and dependency". We're using the US Health and Retirement Study to document the thanatological age patterns (time to death patterns) of a large number of variables related to the measurement of ageing and dependency. It's pretty exploratory, and for that reason super exciting. If you're super duper curious about what we're up to, then all the goods are held in this repository on github. I'm pretty good about keeping things up to speed there, though the data aren't included because you need to register to use them.
The short proposal is attached at the bottom in case the following iframe doesn't render it properly in your browser:
Ternary surface teaser
Been working on some code to make ternary surface plots (or de Finetti surfaces?) made of tiled triangles. Here's a mock-up. The function plotted in this example is invented.
R code here. It's rather green (I notice the contours don't match expectations), and a work in progress, but I'm pleased so far
QR codes on scientific posters
I really enjoy visiting poster sessions at conferences like the PAA or EPC. You get to meet lots of people and are exposed to tons of great ideas. I don't even bother checking the session topic or previewing contents-- I never regret going. One thing that annoys me is the unintentional swag you accumulate, specifically papers and shrunk-down posters that people give out. You can't read a poster on letter or a4 paper, so it's a waste of paper. So when I have posters I've tried just including links to related content in 2 ways, with varying degrees of "success" (meaning usage by visitors). I've settled on inserting QR-codes, like this:
But this is only useful if 1) there's wifi and 2) people have smartphones and are aware of this feature. The PAA lately has been very bad about wifi, FYI, but I suppose it depends on the venue... I've never seen a poster other than my own doing this, but I can attest that it was handy in several instances, and I'd recommend it.
Anyway, many people that came were curious about the QR codes and tried them. When wifi failed, some snapped pictures with their phones to capture the printed url (I use a url shortener to keep it simple). So, I recently got a question on how to put QR codes on posters and am going to give some simple steps here:
That's it! Paper saved! Dynamic content added to static paper poster! It'd be a good idea to have a tablet or similar on hand with the stuff preloaded. Maybe not a good idea to go overboard with this idea (put them off to a side?), but I think even if only one or two visitors make good use of the QR odes then it was worth the extra thought and effort. If you have a finished paper, consider linking to it as a pdf instead of printing it, or at least reduce the number of printed copies.

What is the best way to frame a crochet piece
My mother-in-law has on old crochet piece that her mother made. It's about a 7-8 inch square piece. I would like to get it framed for her for Christmas but am not really sure what would be the best way.
Has anyone framed their pieces before and could you help me with some ideas?
I've framed a few things, Elise. There are several ways to do this. My favorite way is to just purchase a contrasting color of mat board to place it on. Usually, this is thick enough to keep the piece in place without any attaching of some kind. Just lay the frame front side down on a table. Make sure that the glass is clean on the INSIDE. Also, make sure that your piece has been pressed or blocked so there won't be any bumps or bulges to mess with. Lay your piece front side down on the glass and center it (or not, of course it's your choice). Place the mat (which has been cut to the appropriate size) color side down over your crocheted piece, and press the metal pieces down over it. Voila!
Thanks Donna! That sounds easy enough! I was going to take it somewhere and have it done professionally but your way sounds lots cheaper!! ;o)
The piece is supposed to be square but it is really stretched at the corners. Would having it "blocked" help square it up? If so, where or how do I do that? Sorry! I am OBVIOUSLY not a crocheter!
Elise, the easiest way to block a small piece such as yours is to just place it on your ironing board and lightly spray it with water. Then push and pull it into the shape and size you want it to be. Place a clean cotton dish towel (not terry) over it and slowly move your heated iron (I like to use the steam setting, with water in the iron) over it to dry the water you sprayed on it. If it's made of acrylic you will want to be very sure that it is entirely covered with the towel, because if the iron touches the piece it will melt it. Lift the towel and inspect your piece. Spray a little more water and stretch it again if you need to. If it looks fine, just let it set on the ironing board for about 20 minutes or so just to make sure it is completely dry (wouldn't want any mold to grow inside the frame). Good luck!
I have a doily that my cousin who has a framing shop helped me frame and this is the method we used:
Center the blocked doily on a mat board cut to the size of the frame and gently tack it in place with a thread of the same colour to keep it from slipping or losing shape (it's good to line up the doily and then make holes for the thread with a needle before tacking it in place, and then the ends of the thread are secured in the back with sticky tape). Then cut a hole in a second piece of mat board in a contrasting colour, a bit larger than the doily. Lay this on top of the first mat board to frame the doily. Take a third mat board of the same colour as the first one and cut it slightly bigger than the contrasting board and lay it on top to show a narrow band of the contrasting mat board. Then frame it. This means that the glass does not touch the doily and squash it down.
You can get mat boards in all sorts of colours and thicknesses in art supply stores, as well as cutters that cut at an angle for a professional look. If you use thin mat boards you can easily duplicate this look at home with a commercially bought frame.

It's that day again tomorrow, in case you hadn't already been browbeaten with nudge, nudge, wink, wink spam messages. I enjoy the cheesy annual press releases exhorting me to recommend this or that booze as an aid to seduction, but they've been disappointingly thin on the ground this year. So I can't tickle your fancy with anything except news of a Valentine's Day Gourmet Food and Wine Masterclass at London's Vinopolis tomorrow. If anything was designed to provoke the desire but take away the performance, it's surely wine with "smoked and confit salmon terrine, strawberry sorbet, venison casserole with a vanilla mash and spicy red cabbage topped off with a marquis au chocolat with an orange flavoured custard, coffee and rum".

For most people, fairy-tales stay firmly put on the page. But for artist Su Blackwell, who creates whimsical, intricate paper-cut sculptures from second-hand books, the magical, mythical folkloric creatures spill over into everyday life. From Peter Pan to the Wizard of Oz, snow queens to ice maidens and whirling lit-up merry-go-rounds, words and illustrations rise from the pages in charming 3D forms. She creates scenes from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland as well as swaying sail boats and fish, majestic castles, paper princesses and secret gardens.

The Dangers of Progressivism Revealed
in Politics
Filmmaker Joel Gilbert talks about revealing the dangers of progressivism via his new film and how his previous film landed him on Obama's enemies list.
Have you had your healthy dose of reality lately?
There are always at least two sides to every story. Have you ever wondered how someone, who saw the same thing you did, walked away telling a vastly different story? Which version was correct? Which one was the REAL story? Actually, both are! It's just a matter of perspective.
Joe takes the issues… especially the controversial issues (politics, prejudice, religion, illegal immigration)… and brings in people from different sides to share their viewpoint. This is definitely not a fluff piece. And while no one is attacked, the questions are hard-hitting.
But the conversation is always respectful and you're sure to learn something new, even if you don't agree!
If you've always wondered how the "other side" thinks and how they've arrived at their "stand", then this is the show for you!
It's not the right side, it's not the wrong side, but the REAL side of the issues!

Coffman played a key role in halting U.S. Senate ratification of the Biodiversity Treaty. In Plundered, Dr. Coffman details how, during the past one hundred years, progressive ideology has overtaken public education, the mainstream media, and America's political institutions; moreover, it bears responsibility for deeply dividing our nation. Worse, progressivism focuses on hatred of everything American—her ethics, economics, and constitutional law. While plundering hardworking Americans, and amassing crippling debt, progressivism undercuts America's free market system. Its end goal? A new social order of global magnitude.

CPAC - Conservatives Pushed Aside Conjob
From dueling 'conservative' conferences to 'shutdown' showdowns to 2016 hopes and dreams of conquest, chaos and conflicts – the show must go on. And rest assured, it is a show, it is a fraud, it is merely psychological theater. It matters little who the POTUS is when the 'choices' are always selected by the corporatist oligarchy. Even if you manage a little rebellion, one chief executive is incapable of reigning in the federal monstrosity. The Big Government bureaucracy rolls on like a perpetual-motion machine for the benefit of those who dwell in the shadows. Back and forth, up is down, right is left and left is right, hit the lights, queue the score–IT IS SHOW TIME...fade to black.
CPAC once helped thrust Reagan to a conservative landslide when New Deal progressivism seemed to be the permanent state of affairs. True conservatives are pushed aside at this conference and manipulated into supporting RINOs with an imperial agenda in this sham of an electoral process.
Tyranny shall persist UNLESS liberty-loving people band together to restore Constitutional governance for a free and virtuous nation from your own neighborhood on up to DC. Restore The Constitutional Militia of the Several States, sound money, free economies, religious and civil liberties as well as a sensible foreign policy of non-interventionist defense backed up by the most powerful Navy and Marines. Now is the last chance to stop those who perpetuate a hegemonic empire abroad and a fascist police state at home. To defeat the lawless hordes of Cultural Marxists, fascists, oligarchs, kleptocrats, useful idiots and their fellow travelers especially the Democrat-socialists, first you MUST CRUSH the Neocon RINOs. . .for liberty!

The Agenda / Uncovering The Real Plan
Today, we will not only be talking about the State Of The Union address, but will be talking about what all of us know but many will not admit too. Over the last ten plus years, I have been warning people through educated, and honest observations about what the horizon offered should this tyranical path of progressivism be allowed to go forward unchecked. Over these years, I have adjusted my belief system accordingly based on what "my side" was doing at the time. Well, many of my predictions are about to come very true. I had warned about the enticement of free higher education, what exactly it meant and how it plays into the grand scheme of progressive ideology. I had warned about what the true nature of taxing the rich was really all about. It's time to talk about the truth! It's time to realize what the true agenda is. It's not like this agenda isn't in plain view for all too see either but there are those among us that almost feel they know Obama. They take it as a personal attack against them should his policies be called into question. It's time for them to understand that they have fallen victim to an age old tactic known as propaganda. This is a wake up show!

HIGHLIGHTS Dynamic looks and a confident drive cater to your style, while innovative features reward your lifestyle. Experience an adrenaline rush in the Nissan Micra.
Introducing the Special Variant Introducing the Special Variant of the Evalia with a bold new premium grille, a new sporty bumper with integrated fog lamps and a stylish roof spoiler.
The Nissan Terrano is a premium compact SUV that's designed to dominate life's everyday adventures. With bold, stylish looks, durable quality and dynamic performance, the Nissan Terrano is engineered to make its presence felt.
The Teana was first introduced in late 2003 to the Japan Domestic Market. It was introduced a month later to other Asian markets like Singapore. In 2004, the car arrived on European shores. Powering the Teana was either a 1998cc,2349cc or 3498cc engine which matched to the automatic transmission. Trim levels were 200JK, 230JK, 230JM and 350JM. The car was based on the Nissan FF-L platform. In mid-2005, the Teana received chrome trimming on the bumpers,enlarged foglights, front legrests and newly-designed gauges.
It's the way the Nissan 370Z moves around when you mash the throttle that hints at its in-built wickedness. There's a chirp and a shimmy from the tail every time you shift gear and it moves about like other modern sportscars wouldn't dream of doing. It's almost like the car's teasing you to take full advantage of its short wheelbase and rear-wheel- drive chassis. This car is from an era when electronic nannies took a back seat (well, if the 370Z had a back seat, they would) and gave you the reins instead.
Nissan, with its automotive technology, entered the marine business in 1970 by introducing the marine engine for the first genuine pleasure boats produced in Japan. Since then, Nissan has been engaged in various marine businesses including pleasure boat production and sales, marina business, and export of outboard engines.
for efficient management of the marine business, Nissan Marine Company was established in 2000. Nissan Marine is a dedicated company conducting full range of marine businesses including boat development, production, sales, and after sales service.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: Raiders prepared to tackle heat
Greg Medeck is well aware of it, but right now he's not too concerned.
The "it" is the oppressive heat and humidity that has blanketed the Brainerd lakes area for more than a month now. As college and high school football practices begin around the country, player hydration has been more of a topic than 40-yard speeds.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will reportedly be released at the IFA event close to the iPhone 6 launch.
According to The Korea Times, we may not see the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 until IFA 2013 in September. This could make a great deal of sense as the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 was revealed at this time last year.
If the device is a no-show at the upcoming Mobile World Congress next month, there is a large possibility that the phablet will make an appearance at the IFA event. Moreover, this will give the device a one-year cycle in order to maximize its profits. However, Samsung is set to release Samsung Galaxy S4 first.
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is rumoured to have a massive 6.3 inches screen display, which nearly an inch larger than the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 which features a massive 5.5-inch HD display and will put it in tablet category.
Samsung announced some great new technologies it has been developing under its wing at the CES event that will be possibly included in the upcoming smartphones of the Korea's electronic giant including the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
Two of the technologies announced by the tech giant from South Korean are the 8-core processor and flexible displays. Samsung confirmed that the technology is almost ready to be used and should appear on upcoming smartphones and tablets.
Samsung introduced the Exynos 5 Octa, which is an 8-Core processor. Samsung confirmed that this new processor will be featured on some of its upcoming products lined up this year. Samsung said that this new chip will allow smartphone and tablet users to perform multi-tasking without lag.
Samsung re-introduced the public to its YOUM flexible display at CES, which could also end up being used when the Galaxy S4 is built.
Samsung's goal with the new flexible displays is to allow users to fold their tablets and phones for easy storage and portability. The company could also take advantage of the technology by having a smartphone with a screen extending to the sides where the notifications can be displayed even when the handset is lying down on a flat surface.

So Excited for my Personal Upgrades!! San Francisco, CA ( Dr. Jonathan Kaplan ) Yay!! - San Francisco, CA
I'm so happy that I found Pacific Heights Plastic Surgery and Dr. Jonathan Kaplan - I can't believe how comfortable he and his amazing staff make me feel. I was very fearful for a long, long time just by thinking about how to improve my appearance and would a doctor simply dismiss me or make me feel even more insecure about my appearance? Thankfully, I was put at ease immediately and know that I am in the right hands!!

Juvaderm Injectables in Nasal Fold Area. Very Deep Lines. - San Francisco, CA
The procedure was painless because he uses an innovative numbing procedure. The results were amazing. Very minimal bruising and little time to recover. On a scale of 1-10, easily a 100. The last experience was in the negative. I can't believe how night and day. I can't wait to see the DR for another procedure. One of the best experiences ever.

Why is it so hard to find pricing on plastic surgery? Sure there are websites that list national averages but that's not what you want. Not only are those averages often EXcluding operating room fees and other ancillary fees, but what if you want multiple procedures? Do you add the low end of ranges or the high end of ranges for those procedures? More importantly, why don't a vast majority of plastic surgeons post their prices on their website? Are they just being difficult? The...
'Tis the Season to Schedule Plastic Surgery!
With the arrival of October 1st, we officially kick off the holiday season! Wal-Mart has Christmas trees for sale and Walgreen's is flush with Halloween candy.

Online Booking and Gilt City are a Perfect Marriage!
Since I'm relatively new in San Francisco (only 4 months!) and taking over Pacific Heights Plastic Surgery now that the previous helmsman, Dr. Donald Brown, is sailing off on a medical mission trip, I want to be sure and keep the practice thriving. Luckily Dr. Brown has many loyal patients that trust his judgement in bringing me on, but just to be safe, I want to let as many new patients learn about what Pacific Heights Plastic Surgery has to offer.

CareCredit and Medical Credit Cards
As a consumer interested in various veterinary or medical services that are typically out-of-pocket, you may pay for those services with a credit card. But if you don't have a credit card due to a less-than-stellar credit rating, you may have to turn to a medical credit card. These come in the form of iCare and CareCredit. These medical credit cards have come under fire lately in a recent NY Times article and followup Editorial. CareCreditOn the upside, these medical credit...

text: All of my friends are avid Disney travellers and yes, in my group, there is some snobbery attached to where you stay. A few of us like to try them all and have stayed at all different levels. We like or dislike different resorts for different reasons, regardless of what we paid to sleep there. ...but there's always that one person who "only stays at (Insert Deluxe Resort here)" and wants to know if you're hard-up for cash if you stay at a Value Resort. Fun is where you make it. For me, I want the full Disney experience and I plan to stay at all of them because it's a new adventure every time. Always staying in one place because you pass judgement on a resort you have never stayed only cheats you out of a new experience.

Got a call from the OH Dept. of Ag
wordwizApril 11, 2011
Rocky Black had contacted the village of Lockland (where my project is) as part of his outreach program to promote agriculture in urban areas. The village manager gave him my name and e-mail, plus I wrote him about what we are trying to do. Very much interested in the Brownfields to Greenfields concept.
The conversation did not lead to any earth-shattering news but he does plan to follow the progress via my web site. I suppose if it is successful, even on the scaled-back version, the state may provide some assistance in the future. There are hundreds of acres of brownfields in Hamilton County - more than enough to feed the metro area, at least during the growing season.

TRADE ALERT: Instant Analysis
It appears that the Winnipeg Jets have finally made their first NHL player for NHL player trade and what a huge splash. Since the events in Vancouver the Evander Kane trade was well expected, but I don't think anyone expected this. The Jets did not wait until the summer as many expected. With Kane hurt there would have been more suitors come summer. The Jets did not even wait until...

I have a pandas
DataFrame, created this way:
import pandas as pd
wb = pd.io.parsers.ExcelFile('/path/to/data.xlsx')
df = wb.parse(wb.sheet_names[0])
The resulting dataframe has about a dozen columns, all having exactly the same length (about 150K).
For most columns, the following operation is nearly instantaneous
aset = set(df.acolumn)
But for some columns, the same operation, e.g.
aset = set(df.weirdcolumn)
takes > 10 minutes! (Or rather, the operation fails to complete before the 10-minute timeout period expires.) Same number of elements!
Stranger still:
In [106]: set([type(c) for c in df.weirdcolumn])
Out[106]: set([numpy.float64])
In [107]: df.weirdcolumn.value_counts()
Out[107]: []
It appears that the content of the column is all
In [118]: all(np.isnan(df.weirdcolumn.values))
Out[118]: True
But this does not explain the slowdown mentioned before, because the following operation takes only a couple of seconds:
In [121]: set([np.nan for _ in range(len(data))])
Out[121]: set([nan])
I have run out of ways to find out the cause of the massive slowdown mentioned above. Suggestions welcome.

How do I open the 680 case to replace the battery?
My nuvi 680 needs a new battery (it won't take a charge.) I have found a battery supplier. I know about batteries and can do virtually any electronic repair, but I can't find a way into the 680 case! No screws or obvious pry spots. All help welcomed. Thanks.
Edited by: rj713, mayer, and oldturkey03 ( )
Hi, Adam, thanks for the reply. I actually found a Youtube video on this problem so, as soon as my mail order battery arrives (with tool kit), I expect to be able to put it in easily. I am still amazed that the 680 has virtually hidden screws... you have to take off the antenna, then the case screws are accessible. Take them out and the case can be pried open. Cheers, Roger
Adam Hintz
Accepted Answer
The antenna guide for this device shows some tiny screws on and behind the antenna that can be removed. After removing those screws, a spudger will get the case open.
If this solves your problem, please come back and mark this answer as accepted. Thanks!

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Phil Mickelson is going ahead with his Phoenix Open title defense after testing his ailing lower back on Wednesday at exclusive Whisper Rock.
Mickelson set to play Phoenix Open
"I had a good practice session, though I didn't go full speed for much of it," Mickelson said in a statement. "I feel fine. I expect to play and play well."
He first felt soreness two weeks ago in Abu Dhabi, and then withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open on Friday after making the cut at Torrey Pines. He flew to Georgia to see back specialist Tom Boers and was told his facet joints locked up.
Last year at TPC Scottsdale, the former Arizona State star opened with an 11-under 60 and matched the Phoenix Open record of 28 under. He was set to make his 25th start in the event that he also won in 1996 and 2005.
Mickelson lived in the Phoenix area for 12 years.
"If it was any other tournament I'd skip it," Mickelson said this week. "But I'm defending, it's my second hometown and I love the event."
Lefty also said he expects to play next week at Pebble Beach, where he's a five-time champion. He is skipping Riviera and the Match Play Championship because his oldest daughter has spring break a week earlier than his other two children.
On Thursday at TPC Scottsdale, the 43-year-old Mickelson was scheduled to open play on the 10th tee in a morning group with Bill Haas and Ryan Moore.
While Mickelson now lives near his hometown of San Diego, Torrey Pines winner Scott Stallings is setting up a winter base in Scottsdale. He also is joining Whisper Rock, the club where Mickelson and other tour players are members.
"My wife and I are renting in Scottsdale at Grayhawk, so we are five minutes away from here," Stallings said. "I have been playing and practicing out of here, actually also at Whisper Rock — went through the whole process and we are going to make somewhat of a winter home out here. Especially, with the vile weather that's been in the South, I don't miss that at all. We miss our families, but I don't miss that weather at all."

Day 231 of my 365 Days portraits.
This picture also made it to a Twiglet Blog
Fe em Brasil, noodlepie, Astra CF, and 1 other people added this photo to their favorites.
you could have taken one more !!!! for sure !!
If they covered those things with vegemite instead of marmite, I'd be more keen ... as it is ... Hrmm ... ;)
Cool shots though! I LOVE your expressions!
sticks covered in marmite? eeew! but vegemite would be so much worse. Funny shot!!!!
Haha! Great series!!! I love twiglets and I guess that is one way of ensuring no one else gets any!
You are making me sooooooo jealous right now. A whole mouth cramed full of twiglets!!! HEAVEN!!!!
Only 2 weeks and counting and it will be straight round to Tesco's for a nice big box of twiglets! :-)
us yanks have no idea what twiglets are,...but they look good.
Oh no, not Sesame Street. I'd have my own spin off series, although it'd probably make kids cry!! Don't understand the last bit of your message ;o)
Believe me, you'd hate them but we're mad for them in the UK. It's like the Swedish and their fermented herring, the Japanese with their natto, the Brits have Twiglets and Marmite.
Now that is just plain mean!!!
how greedy :)
This reminds me of that weird "magician" who does that with cigarettes. If you've ever watched Channel 4's "1 gazillion greatest lamest magic tricks" then you'll know what I'm talking about. If not, please ignore :)
Twiglets are the epitomy of evil! If you read revelations, you'll see that they were cast out after the great war in heaven because they tasted so horrendous.
Also, I can't believe that after all these comments, there's only been one about you fitting large things in your mouth. :o This photos opens you wide (pun intended) for a great big slagging (is that a scottish word or do you all understand what i'm saying here?).
Quite the mouthfull... Nice shot :) Any chance I can use this on www.awholelotofcrunch.com However, you have all rights reserved on your cc license, lemme know.
The beauty of one's soul has no age! ~~~~ Kids Between 0-100 would love to have your pic added to their pool...
This is the greatest!! LOVE IT!
You've been memed! I used your photo in a meme over at the My Meme group and invite you to become a member.
Yay! Twiglets! Love 'em! Always have to eat the whole packet, even when it's the tubs of them at Xmas.

The first American Revolution officially began on July 4th, 1776, when the Thirteen Colonies declared their independence from Great Britain. And it didn't end until 1781, when General Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, and the Treaty of Paris was signed with Great Britain in 1783. In other words it took seven years of hard struggle before the colonists could become the free and sovereign United States of America.

Robbing Man of His Divine HeritageWritten by Steve Farrell
In the long battle to subvert the liberties of man, a key to victory over the forces of liberty has always included center stage:
The most obvious indication that the Palestinians do not want a state is their constant demands for Israel to make far-reaching concessions which they know the Jewish state cannot make. The Palestinians know that the only way to maintain their present status is to make demands that cannot be met. And so, the question is: Why don't the Palestinians want a state? The reason is simple: Statehood would entail responsibilities the Palestinians do not want to assume.
No License for IDWritten by Becky Akers

Spindly hibiscus
Dustbunny(z9 FLA)February 26, 2008
What can I do to make them fill out? They're spindly and have sparse leaves although they continue to bloom. Also, the leaves are not a nice deep green, more of a yellowish green color.
In my experience, heavy pruning (as I have done any time of the year) produces tons of new growth, bushier growing habit, profuse flowering. Is it getting enough sun? My leggier hibiscus, it turned out, was spending all it's energy growing toward the sun, not on leaves and flowers.
