Adjuncts have some learning to do about the particulars of health care reform
Blog Entry:
January 22, 2013 11:26 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
An Ohio-centric
The Wall Street Journal
asserts that the federal health care overhaul is prompting some colleges and universities to cut the hours of adjunct professors, "renewing a debate about the pay and benefits of these freelance instructors who handle a significant share of teaching at U.S. higher-education institutions."
The Affordable Care Act requires large employers to offer a minimum level of health insurance to employees who work 30 hours a week or more starting in 2014, or face a penalty. The mandate "is a particular challenge for colleges and universities, which increasingly rely on adjuncts to help keep costs down as states have scaled back funding for higher education," according to the story.
Youngstown State University and Stark State College in North Canton are among schools nationwide that have curbed the number of classes adjuncts can teach in the current spring semester to limit the schools' exposure to the health-insurance requirement,
The Journal
In a Dec. 6 letter, Stark State told instructor Robert Balla that "in order to avoid penalties under the Affordable Care Act…employees with part-time or adjunct status will not be assigned more than an average of 29 hours per week." The newspaper notes that Mr. Balla, a 41-year-old father of two, had taught seven English composition classes last semester, split between Stark State and two other area schools. This semester, his course load at Stark State is down to one instead of two as a result of the school's new limit on hours, cutting his salary by about a total of $2,000.
He tells the newspaper he earns about $40,000 a year and cannot afford health insurance.
"I think it goes against the spirit of the (health-care) law," Mr. Balla says. "In education, we're working for the public good, we are public employees at a public institution; we should be the first ones to uphold the law, to set the example."
Irene Motts, a spokeswoman for Stark State, tells
The Journal that the new rules were necessary "to maintain the fiscal stability of the college. There are a lot of penalties involved if adjuncts go over their 29 hours-per-week average. The college can be fined and the fines are substantial."
The global water cooler
Federal regulators "are ordering employers to scale back policies that limit what workers can say" on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, according to
this story
The New York Times
As those networks and others have become integral parts of people's lives, employers increasingly have sought to implement policies that discourage workers from painting the companies in a negative light. Typical corporate media policies instruct workers not to discuss company matters publicly and not to disparage managers, co-workers or the company itself.
"But in a series of recent rulings and advisories, labor regulators have declared many such blanket restrictions illegal,"
The Times
reports. The National Labor Relations Board, for instance, has ruled that workers have a right to discuss work conditions freely and without fear of retribution, whether the discussion takes place at the office or on Facebook.
"Many view social media as the new water cooler," Mark G. Pearce, the board's chairman, tells the newspaper. "All we're doing is applying traditional rules to a new technology."
The Times notes that the NLRB's rulings, which apply to virtually all private sector employers, "generally tell companies that it is illegal to adopt broad social media policies — like bans on 'disrespectful' comments or posts that criticize the employer — if those policies discourage workers from exercising their right to communicate with one another with the aim of improving wages, benefits or working conditions."
But this doesn't mean anything goes online if you're bored at work.
Frustrated by a lack of news, a police reporter at
The Arizona Daily Star
posted comments that included the following: "What?!?!?! No overnight homicide. ... You're slacking, Tucson," and "You stay homicidal, Tucson."
The Times
notes that the newspaper fired the reporter, and NLRB officials "found the dismissal legal, saying the posts were offensive, not concerted activity and not about working conditions."
So the question becomes: Now that you have more freedom to talk about work on social media platforms, will you actually do it? My guess is most people won't.

Mick Fanning
Claiming his third ASP World Title in 2013, Mick Fanning had a good year. Away from the tour, he recruited renowned surf filmmaker Taylor Steele for a little side project. The premise was simple, Steele was in charge of all travel arrangements and Fanning was kept in the dark. He just had to show up at the airport. Fanning's sponsor Rip Curl signed on for support, and after a few months of shooting they released their aptly titled film "Missing."

Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History
Few people realize that the Comanche Indians were the greatest warring tribe in American history. Their 40-year battle with settlers held up the development of the new nation. Empire of the Summer Moon tells of the rise and fall of this fierce, powerful, and proud tribe, and begins in 1836 with the kidnapping of a lovely nine-year-old girl with cornflower blue eyes named Cynthia Ann Parker. She grew to love her captors and eventually became famous as the "White Squaw." She married a powerful Comanche chief, and their son, Quanah, became a warrior who was never defeated and whose bravery and military brilliance in the Texas panhandle made him a legend as one of the greatest of the Plains Indian chiefs.
In this vivid piece of writing, S. C. Gwynne describes in sometimes brutal detail the savagery of both whites and Comanches and, despite the distance of time, demonstrates how truly shocking these events were, juxtaposed against the haunting story of an unforgettable figure of a woman caught between two worlds.
©2010 S.C. Gwynne (P)2010 Tantor
"Rigorously researched and evenhanded, the book paints both the Comanches and Americans in their glory and shame, bravery and savagery." (Publishers Weekly)
"In Empire of the Summer Moon, Sam Swynne has given us a rich, vividly detailed rendering of an important era in our history and of two great men, Quanah Parker and Ranald Slidel Mackenzie, whose struggles did much to define it." (Larry McMurtry)
"Transcendent . . . Empire of the Summer Moon is nothing short of a revelation . . . will leave dust and blood on your jeans." (New York Times Book Review)
Actor/director/teacher. Split my time between Beijing and Seattle now. Listen to Audible on the subway and while driving. Love the reviews.
"Evocation of landscape"
Other reviewers have said most of what needs to be said about this often fascinating book. The era of the plains Indian and the American incursion which brought it to an end is incredibly rich material, and Gwynne has brought it to life with a wealth of telling detail.
I would like to add that one of the great strengths of the book is that it brings the landscape itself to life as a character in the narrative. This sense of place as a central character adds tremendously to our understanding of both the extraordinary prowess and resilience of the Comanche and the daunting obstacles which faced settlers during their gradual but inexorable occupation of the mid-section of the country. Having spent a year in Amarillo and traveled on horseback in Palo Duro Canyon, I was deeply impressed by how well the author captured the almost malevolent expanse and elemental grandeur of the plains. Beautifully done.
I assume that the print version of the book includes maps, and I strongly suggest that listeners would best enjoy the listen if they find some on the internet keep them close at hand.
"When a great book and a great reader come together"
An audible book will beat the written book...most of the time...in my book...
Quanah Parker? Never heard of him till this book. Shame on American history books...and American public schools...by far the most interesting and heavy duty of ALL the native Americans I've heard about from the Wild West...and the book and reader tell a story you can't put down...that is to say can't put down your headset.
The second best (after "Wolf Hall") reading I've heard...out of several hundred. Knocked me out.
"Enjoyable, but I don't get the high rating"
I'm usually a patient audience. I must say though that I started to get a bit bored with the narrative here. Great information, well-presented, etc. but after a while I started glazing over with "this group attacked that group, scalping 20 warriors/soldiers, etc. etc. It just got a bit repetitive and I lost some patience with it. A very good book---maybe should be a 4.0 rating, but when I purchased it, I think it was a 4.4 or something like that. Enjoyable, but I expected more based on the rating.
"Quannah Parker"
This was a really good book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. While it was billed as a story of Quannah Parker of the Comanche, it took in quite a bit of history of all the Plains Indians. Very detailed sotries if living conditions for these native Americans and the changes they experienced at the hands of the white man. I wouldl endorse it for anyone who wishes to study the culture of the Plains Indians. Quannah's story occupied maybe the last quarter of the book. It was easily supported by other resources I have read about Quannah. A fascinating story!
"Killer, Renegade, Great American"
Empire of the Summer Moon is one of those rare books which deal with the Indian Wars with something approaching objectivity (true objectivity is impossible, of course). Early on in the book I worried first that it would be another litany of abuses perpetrated against the Indians. Then, I feared it might be a revisionist 'rah-rah cowboys' book. Happily, my fears on both counts were misplaced. This book presents a fair, if bloody and savage, picture of the Texas Plains in the 19h Century.
Central to the book is Quanah Parker, a figure for whom the author clearly has a great deal of admiration. This admiration is infectious. I knew very little about Quanah Parker before reading this (although I thought I knew a fair amount!), and now I want to know more. Such an intriguing figure: brutal killer and fierce warrior, and yet kind, magnanimous and generous; an implacable freedom fighter who readily adopted white ways.
This is a very intriguing--and sadly--neglected story. Recommended for anyone interested in American history.
"Explains a lot about Texas"
Texas is an undiscovered country for most of the rest of the country. I remember visiting Texas, from California, and being amazed at the culture, different from any I was used to. I have lived in many states in my life, but Texas stands out. The music was all about Texas. The stories they told were all about the glories of Texas. I wondered how this state came to be so different from others. Now it makes a bit more sense.
This book is about the birth of Texas. It is about the Indians of the prairies, about the early Texas Rangers, and about the pioneers. It is about the violence that permeated the area and its people. It is the mythology of the current Texans.
The reader makes the story come alive. Through massacre after massacre, he helped keep the killers straight in my mind.
"History comes alive"
I am living in the area around Fort Sill, and this really was an interesting tale about the history of the area and great plains Indians. I actually took a tour of Quannah Parker's STAR HOUSE where it has been moved to a little historical area at Cache, Oklahoma. The narrator is easy to follow and kept my interest.
"Brings the old West to life.."
I have stood before many museum exhibits about the Indians and seen a zillion artifacts, but until I read this book I never really had much of a sense of what life was like for either the Indians, the settlers, or the soldiers. One cannot help but admire the Plains Indians for their bravery and skill while at the same time being repelled by their savagery. Although we may now feel some guilt and remorse about the expulsion of the Indians and their subsequent settlement onto reservations, it is now apparent to me that there was probably no other way. The Indians credo was kill, or be killed and they were not the least bit interested in assuming a law-abiding and agrarian lifestyle. Probably there was no other way to settle the west except by forcible means. All in all, this was a terrific book about an historic period that we all have heard in cursory bits and pieces and, for me at least, never heard a comprehensive story of the old Indian West to learn of its horror, torture and struggle. A great book that I would I would heartily recommend. Anyone who pines for the "good old days" just doesn't know their history!
Love to read, and Audible has made the two-hour daily commute enjoyable!
"Commanches and the American West"
I had no idea how little I knew about the Commanches other than they were fierce warriors and feared by settlers. This book talks about the traditions, the history of the Cheyenne, other plains Indians and the Indian Wars that eventually moved many tribes to reservations.
I liked how Gwynne pushes people to not view traditions through our modern eyes, but also consider the violent natures of our ancestors (Celts, the inquisition). He has a balanced approach - the war attrocities of the Cheyenne and also the combating Texas Rangers and U.S. Cavalry. Gwynne also discusses the impact of changes in technology - like the Colt revolver.
The end of the book covers the role of Quanah Parker - son Cynthia Anne Parker who was kidnapped in a raid when she was young. When "rescued" later in life, she continuously tried to escape back to the Cheyenne. Parker and his mother are studies in adaptation. He learned the game, and played it well to the benefit of himself and his peoples. What I don't like is that because of the focus on Quanah, it brushes on this not being the case for the majority of Indians who changed their lives from nomadic hunters to farmers. But - that is a lot to ask of a very interesting book.
"A Great Western"
S. C. Gwynne in Empire of the Summer Moon tells of the story of how the American West was opened from the perspective of the conflict between white settlers and Indians. The Comanches take center stage in his narrative, but the reader will find other tribes large and small appear. A subplot, which is very engaging, traces the story of Cynthia Ann Parker and her mixed-blood son Quanah. Gwynne's discussion of her ultimate death is heart rending. His descriptions of the plains, the buffalo hunts, the fighting prowess of the Indians and Calvary units bring the era to life. There were atrocities on both sides of the conflict and Gwynne approaches that issue evenly it seemed. This book has its faults, but it certainly will stand – in my library at least – alongside Burry My Heart at Wounded Knee. If you are a history buff, this book might fit the bill. If you like Westerns, this book will no doubt satisfy as well. If you are a Texan, there is a lot here to whet the appetite. The reading of David Drummond is simply a plus.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Definition: Not quite as shallow as a fashionista, but someone who deeply enjoys fashion and looking good. A fashionistette can be intelligent, worldly, and cosmopolitan, knowledgable about the world and considerate of people around her. Compare to metrosexual (and note that, in women, no one suspects looking well-groomed and fashionable has anything to do with their sexual choices). Fashionistettes and metrosexuals have the flavor of retro and classic Vegas -- they are "just swell."
Example: Everyone loves having Betsy at parties. She's a fashionistette, she can talk about anything, she brings bubbly and she shows up with these incredible examples of metrosexual hunkiness. Having Kat over isn't as fun; she's a fashionista, a bitch, and nothing else.

So aren't these rule changes basically same as the ones JSF proposed some time after the Olympics?
So aren't these rule changes basically same as the ones JSF proposed some time after the Olympics?
Not really sure, but they also slightly decreased the base value of the 3S and increased the 3Lo.
Overall, these changes look pretty good to me.
I'm still a little confused about the whole Base< and GoE deal. For example, an underrotated 3A has a base value of 6.0, but since it's underrotated there's also a possible -1 to -2 GoE. It seems like an inefficient way of going about things, to compound penalties like that.

No. The talk of intermediary values for triple jumps have been talked about for a while. It was expected that the next Congress would talk about this issue. Here's something interesting. According to the communication rule 1609, this rule change seems final.
It seems clear that the new scale of values is intended to reflect as accurately as possible the actual difficulty of each element, instead of just marching along with .5 increments.
The Salchow is now only a tenth of a point higher than the toe-loop, but there is a big gap between the Salchow and the loop. The loop is now ranked as closer in difficulty to the flip.
On the other hand, ther difference between the flip and the Lutz has been increased. (Who is going to be the first to point poit that this hurts Mao Asada and helps Yu-na Kim. ) Maybe this is a forerunner to stricter edge calls.
Hmm, the thing is, I don't think it necessarily helps Yu-Na. It's not like Yu-Na only does the Lutz jump and not Flip; she does the Flip jump as well, so her score is hurt from the lower BV for 3F as well. Of course, she doesn't have two Flip jumps in LP like Mao does, but the lower scale of GOE for triple jumps will hurt her score just as much since she usually gets higher GOE than everyone else.
Can we please stop talking about this based solely on Yu-Na or Mao? There are other skaters in this world you know. These changes look reasonable to me as a whole and I don't think it favors anyone in particular except that there is definite emphasis on higher technical difficulty as they should be. I, myself, have voiced concerns about the value of the Double Axel and its accompanying GOE for quite some time and I am glad to see this suggestion be considered and acted upon. As for reducing the value of GOE on Triples, note the GOE has been slashed across the board for all jumps, including Quads. In the past, negative GOE on Quad follows a factor of 1.6, creating an imbalance between the upside and downside risk. Now, both sides are equal and at a reduced factor of 1.0 Such change will likely encourage more skaters to try the Quads. As for reducing the GOE on Triples, there has been some comments that the GOE on Triples have been too high. For example, a 3T has a BV of 4.0 but +2 GOE means, the jump essentially equals a Triple Lutz at 6.0 Or, Double Axel + 3 GOE = 3.5 + 3 > Triple Lutz. Clearly, the is a point about reducing the value of GOE slightly and I agree with these changes as well. This will give a little more emphasis on the BV, which is more objective than the GOE. With the reduced importance of GOE, the overall score will be lower than years past but it should encourage skaters to have more difficult technical content and the overall score should reflect those higher degree of technical difficulty as well.
Thank skating gods!!
I lurrve all the changes. I'm really glad they made a new rule about skating on one foot for half of the step sequence.
I do realize that there are other skaters besides Yuna and Mao, but I do think that all the rules put together does hurt Yuna and boosts Mao. Or rather, these new rule changes will ensure that Yuna isn't unfairly given advantage over Mao and other skaters.
It shouldn't be confusing because nothing new re: the GOE grading of these jumps have changed per say. In the past, when a 3A was downgraded, whether the judge knew about the < sign or otherwise, there is an expectation that the judge will penalize the jump through negative GOE accordingly. The compounded penalties have two purpose:
1) It spreads the penalties of an UR or downgraded jump between the Technical Panel and the judges, thus mitigating the problem of any potential irregularity in judgment or error. In the 6.0 system, any determination of UR rested entirely on the individual judges, therefore, someone who is biased for whatever reasons could turn a blind eye on a mistake.
2) An UR jump that receives < can still have different degree of UR. On one end, the jump could have been superb and really didn't deserve any other penalties aside from the UR and maybe due to positive mitigating factor, the jump could still get positive if not neutral GOE so the two phase system allows this flexibility to exist. On the other hand, another < jump could be so obviously cheated and that the skater really isn't close in mastering the said jump, giving such jump a 70% value without further penalty would in effect encourage future behavior where the skater may hope to get lucky with 70% of the value of a difficult jump. Therefore, a penalty in the form of negative GOE will dampen such desire to cheat the system. The latter can't be more clear in the case of Mr. Morozov who openly told the press that he intended his skater to do 3/3 in Vancouver so that even an UR happens, she will not lose many points. As it turned out, his skater got destroyed using such stupid strategy.
I think it would be rather foolish to hold such belief because you are assuming Yu-Na and her coach are static or something and that they won't react to these changes and adapt. The 3A that Mao did on the Japan SOI where she UR, two feet, and stepped out will receive exactly 6.0 - 3.0 = 3.0 which is less than the value of a Double Axel. Better than before? Yes, but not by much. The < sign being shown will also likely reduce the GOE of skaters prone to UR, not to mention, the value of the Triple Flip has been reduced.
Funny thing is, I can make a case for most of the rules ISU comes up with every year. My main concern is that ISU is resorting to immediate remedy whenever there is a "controversy". With these rules in place, the possible downside is that we will see more of "Kostner in 2008" situations, and there will be controversy along the line of "quality is not taken into account enough". Will ISU revert to the old rules then?

There is much controversy about this topic it seems.
To me it means: An idea in an undisciplined mind is like an unattended cat with a ball of yarn. He will beat it, smack it around, chase it back and forth until it is a hopeless tangled mess. When we say turn it over, I think we mean let go of it for a while. Give your brain a rest. Let Him untangle it while you distract yourself with some thing else. That way he can smooth it out, roll it back up and hand it back to you with a set of instructions. Yes the opportunity to tear it up again is there, because we have choices, and don't always make the right ones. But by consciously turning a problem over to our Hp as we understand him, we get our own mind off it l9ong enough to settle things down so hop fully later when the right time comes we can make better choices.

Start is the heart of your PC—it's where you open apps and desktop programs, see what your friends are doing, and get to your favorite websites and files.
The tiles on Start can show updates from your friends, new email, app notifications, and the next appointment on your calendar at a glance, even without opening an app. And because everyone who uses the PC can sign in with their own Microsoft account, each person can personalize their own tiles, colors, and backgrounds.
There are a few ways to get back to Start from anywhere on your PC.
Open the charms and then tap or click Start. To learn how to open the charms, see Search, share, print, and more.
When you're in the desktop, you can right-click the Start button to get to quick settings like Power Options, Task Manager, Control Panel, and Device Manager.
If you want, you can also choose to see the Apps view first when you sign in. To learn how, see Personalize your PC.
When you install a new app from the Windows Store, it'll appear in the Apps view. Then, you can pin it to your Start screen or desktop taskbar if you want to get to it quickly.
You can pin your favorite apps to the Start screen and the desktop taskbar so you can get to them quickly and see updates on their tiles at a glance.
Press and hold or right-click the app you want to pin. You can select more than one app and pin them all at once.
Tap or click Pin to Start or Pin to taskbar. The apps you pinned will appear at the end of your Start screen or desktop taskbar.
To quickly search for an app, just start typing the name from either the Start screen or Apps view.
If you decide you don't want a tile to be on your Start screen any more, you can unpin it from Start. Unpinning an app is different from uninstalling it – if you unpin an app from your Start screen, the app will still appear when you search for it, and it'll still be in the Apps view if you need to find it again.
On the Start screen, press and hold or right-click the tile you want to unpin. You can select more tiles to unpin them all at once. To clear your selections, on the Start screen or in Apps view, tap or click an open space on the screen, or tap or click Customise.
Tap or click Unpin from Start. The apps you selected will be removed from your Start screen but will still appear in Apps view and when you search for them.
Your Start screen is yours to organise and arrange. You can resize tiles and move them around in whatever way you want. For example, you can make the tiles you use more often bigger, and the ones you use less often smaller. You can size and arrange your tiles in the way that looks best to you. You can also group tiles together to help you keep track of your apps and use them more efficiently. However you choose to organise the tiles, customising your Start screen makes it easier to get to the apps, folders, sites and people you interact with the most.
On the Start screen, press and hold the tile you want to move. (If you're using a mouse, click and hold the tile).
Drag the tile to where you want to place it.
On the Start screen, press and hold the tile you want to resize. (If you're using a mouse, right-click the tile.)
Tap or click Resize.
Choose the size you want.
On the Start screen, press and hold or right-click the tiles you want to group together.
Drag them to an open space, and when a grey bar appears behind them, release the tiles. This will create a new group.
If you want to name the group, tap or click where it says Name group above the group, then enter a new name.
Once you've created a group, you can move the entire group around on your Start screen.
Press or click the group of tiles you want to move and drag it to where you want it to go.
Once you've finished moving groups, tap or click anywhere on the screen to zoom back in.

Gallery: Explore This Incredible Green Village in Bali Made Entirely Fr...
Owners of the new home in the village also have children who attend school at the Green School nearby.
Ibuku (formerly called PTBambu), a design-build firm located outside of Bali's cultural center of Ubud, is the visionary behind both the Green School and the Green Village. So far one home in the community has been built and is a spiraling canopy of bamboo set amidst the lush jungle above the river. Everything is made from bamboo, from the window frames to the staircase, tables, chairs, floors, and even the cabinets and the walls. The amazing craftsmanship in this home exemplifies what is possible with the fast-growing, renewable material.
Green Village is within walking distance of the Green School and is built with the same principles of sustainability. "Our view on being green comes out of being logical, doing no harm and being conscientious," says Elora Hardy, Creative Director of the Ibuku bamboo company. "By utilizing sustainable materials and artisan craftsmanship mixed with social responsibility, we have created a unique development concept. Owners of the new home in the village also have children who attend school at the Green School nearby.

Am in Ghana and would like to know if i could come over to learn how to build bamboo houses if possible
greenx October 24, 2011 at 1:32 am
Green village looks great only when looked at from outside. Living here is more a nightmare than a miracle. We live here in constant noise because of the uncontrolled construction 7 days a week! We dont know why someone would call it green? It is true the houses are made of bamboo, but despite the traditional indonesian way of treating the bamboo with salt water against bugs and insects here it is treated with chemicals to save time… Selective waste collection is not even solved in the houses, we need to put all the rubbish into one large bin in the kitchen. There are no separate containers for paper, organic, plastic, glass etc. Developers did not pay any attention to make the place intimate with proper bamboo walls, climbers in between the houses, so we see each other and live together as we would live in a big common living room. This is simply the consequence they want to make the most out of it with selling the maximum units possible on the smallest plots imaginable. At this moment it is terrible to live here. You cant use the common pool due to the constant noise in the village. We were told that the pool has salt water in it, but we tasted it and tastes like sweet water and smells chlorine…, we have no idea what happens to the waste water (goes to straight to Ayung river?) So this whole "GREEN" image is only a marketing tool to attract more customers…
Michael B. Lapid July 2, 2011 at 10:11 am
Hello, I am Mike Lapid from the Philippines. I am very interested in learning to design bamboo houses like the ones you make. Is there any possibility of taking any course over there at Bali or doing an apprenticeship in your firm? Hope you give me options so I can build sustainable homes myself here in the Philippines. thanks.

text: Census Likely to Offer Accurate Count of New Yorkers by Andy A Beveridge, Sep 16, 2010 Twitter Photo by Quinn Dombrowski The 2010 census appears to be on its way to be a major success for New York City. We should be grateful for the unprecedented engagement of community, neighborhood and ethnic organizations, as well as adequate funds for communication, outreach and advertising. This all led to a substantial increase in the rate of initial mail response for New Yorkers. When the state population counts that determine the number of seats in Congress are released on Dec. 28t and the block level data for reapportionment for legislative districts are released in March, New York City should do quite well. The initial response rate rose from 57 percent in 2000 to 60 percent in 2010 in New York City. The overall national rate stayed the same at 72 percent. The increased initial participation in the city means both better data and cheaper data collection. When people respond to the initial mailing, the Census Bureau does not have send out enumerators to knock on doors and collect the information, saving money. While some households that do not respond become "hard to count," the largest fraction of households visited by enumerators easily provided information when contacted, some even apologizing for not sending in their form on time. Other housing units whose residents did not respond proved to be vacant. Enumerators revisited any vacant units to confirm that no one lived there. Filling in the Gaps Of course, in any huge operation like the census there are bound to be glitches here and there, but the Census Bureau established built in checks to assure accuracy. Most of the error and difficulties encountered by some census enumerators will be corrected during the quality control phase. For instance, any home that had an incorrect address was rechecked, and a small sample of households is being reinterviewed to validate the accuracy of the original count. Checks also exist to eliminate duplicate responses for those who filled out the form in more than one residence. Despite the relative success and the efforts at quality control, some groups are very difficult to interview, leaving some missed homes and some incorrect or inconsistent information. To address this, the Census Bureau has a number of procedures it follows when it cannot get an interview or the response is either not complete or inconsistent with other responses from the household. These technique, based on statistical methods, come under the heading "imputation and allocation. " There are two types of imputation and allocation: Whole unit imputation comes into play when there is no answer for a unit known to be occupied. In such cases, the census applies what is known as the "hot deck" procedure and determines -- or imputes -- the characteristics of the household from those of other nearby households. The term "hot deck" harkens back to the time when computers used punched cards. The hot deck contained information on those who were recently tabulated from the same neighborhood living in the same type of unit. Such data still exists -- even if the hot deck does not -- and is used to fill in information on nearby, missing with similar known characteristics. The other method is "item and person allocation," where a household has provided answers, but they either incomplete answers or include inconsistencies. Here the information on the occupants that do exist is used to impute, much as the "hot deck'" was for the vacant unit So one can impute sex by using first name, if it is known. A Committee of the National Academy of Sciences discussed and reviewed these census procedures. The New York Data In the past, New York City has relied more on imputed data than the U.S. as whole has. The table below presents information on the imputation of basic characteristics in the city in 2000. The census reported that 4.7 percent of the housing units' vacancy statuses were imputed. In 8.9 percent, it imputed whether or not the unit was owned or rented. This compares with 2.6 percent for vacancy and 4.8 percent for owned or rented nationally. United States New York City Bronx Kings Manhattan Queens Staten Island Overall Person Imputations Any Item Imputed 10.9% 20.0% 26.4% 22.3% 16.5% 17.8% 10.6% Population Substituted 1.2% 3.9% 5.7% 5.4% 1.2% 3.4% 1.5% Specific Imputations One or more items Impurted 9.6% 16.1% 20.7% 16.9% 15.2% 14.3% 9.1% Race Impurted 4.0% 7.4% 12.3% 6.9% 7.1% 5.9% 3.7% Hispanic Impurted 4.4% 6.5% 6.8% 7.5% 5.6% 6.2% 4.1% Sex Impurted 1.1% 1.8% 2.0% 2.2% 1.3% 1.7% 0.9% Age Impurted 3.7% 5.8% 5.9% 6.7% 5.7% 5.3% 3.5% Relationship Impurted 2.1% 3.6% 3.9% 4.2% 2.8% 3.5% 2.0% Housing Imputations Vacancy Impurted 2.6% 4.7% 5.5% 4.5% 4.0% 5.7% 3.1% Tenure Impurted 4.8% 8.9% 12.4% 11.0% 5.8% 8.0% 5.1% Source: Census 2000 Tabulation From Summary File 1. As to imputation for persons, some 20 percent of New York City's 2000 population had at least one item imputed, compared with 10.8 percent for the United States as a while For example, in New York City 11.3 percent of people had their race imputed, versus 5.2 percent for the United States . In the Bronx, the figures are 26.4 percent for any imputation, and 16.0 percent for race.. Imputation varies widely throughout the city, as the table and map show. Areas with high proportions of poor and minority households, such as much of the Bronx, Bedford Stuyvesant, Flatbush and Harlem, as well as heavily immigrant area like Northwest Queens have high levels of imputation. In most of Staten Island and parts of Queens, and of Manhattan levels of imputation are low. <br/ > Imputation makes up for many of the problems in data collection, including non-response and inaccurate or misleading information. It improves the quality of the census and the overall results by filling in holes and fixing other problems. Since 1980, many have argued for statistical adjustment of the Census based upon sampling of the "hard to count" population. The Supreme Court has ruled against adopting this approach. The census has used imputation and allocation since 1960. So in a later ruling the court found that such methods were a legitimate means to improve the count. What then of the 2010 census? First, it seems to have done even better in New York than the 2000 Census. Like the 2000 census, 2010 will prove to be better than the 1990 census, which missed on the order of 400,000 New Yorkers. Second, the various quality control methods will help assure accurate information. Third, the use of allocation and imputation means that even where there are gaps or inconsistencies in the collected data, the data will be improved, so the census will be even more reliable. In short, the 2010 Census is shaping up to be very accurate and reliable. You can count on it! Andrew A.

Los Angeles Kings 2014-2015 News and Updates
4/6/15 - It's not over yet for the defending Stanley Cup champion L.A. Kings. With four games left to play, the Kings have moved up to claim the tiebreaker with Winnipeg, and currently hold the second wild-card spot in the West – which would put them up against the top team in the conference, likely their I-5 rivals down in Anaheim.
3/30/15 - Can they do it again, or will they fall short? That's what Los Angeles Kings fans are asking of their team, who are in ninth place in the overall Western Conference standings; the Kings are definitely within reach of a playoff berth, however, just one point behind Calgary and two behind seventh place Winnipeg.
… more
3/23/15 - Could the L.A. Kings be in danger of not being able to defend their Stanley Cup in 2015? It's a legitimate question, as the team sits in ninth place in the overall Western Conference standings, two points behind division rivals Calgary; however, the Kings have become notorious of late for sneaking into the postseason.
3/17/15 - With just over a dozen games remaining in the regular season, the defending Stanley Cup champions are trying their hardest to earn an opportunity to defend their title. The Los Angeles Kings sit just a single point behind the Winnipeg Jets for the final wild card spot in the Western Conference, having missed an opportunity to vault themselves into playoff contention with their 2-1 loss to the Nashville Predators on Saturday. The Kings held a 1-0 lead for most of the game, but were shocked by a pair of goals by Nashville in the third period.

3/9/15 - If the L.A. Kings hope to defend the Stanley Cup this spring, they're going to have to start their finishing kick soon. The Kings are currently ninth in the Western Conference at the moment, two points behind division rival Calgary, but the Kings have a game in hand still.

12/22/14 - The Los Angeles Kings, after dropping three straight losses, have rebounded with back to back wins, at home over St. Louis and Arizona, to stay within shouting distance of first-place Anaheim.

12/8/14 - The Los Angeles Kings are playing superb defense – they're third in the league in goals allowed per game, at 2.1, and are killing penalties at a rate just over 85%.

Charles Krauthammer: Nationalized gay marriage is inevitable
There are two possible grounds, distinct and in some ways contradictory, for doing so. The curious thing about the court's DOMA decision is that it contains both rationales.
"The only thing that will 'confine' the court's holding," wrote dissenting Justice Antonin Scalia with a bit less delicacy, "is its sense of what it can get away with." Next case - Kennedy & Co. go all the way.
