Matchups remain same for weekend doubleheader
The Orioles and Dodgers are ready to play two.
Rain postponed Friday's game, but the two clubs will try again Saturday as part of a day-night doubleheader at Camden Yards.
Both teams' scheduled starters for Friday -- Dodgers left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu and Orioles righty Jason Hammel -- will start the opener at 1:05 p.m. ET. Los Angeles' Josh Beckett and Baltimore's Wei-Yin Chen square off in the nightcap as scheduled at 7:05 p.m.
The Orioles took the first regular-season matchup between the two squads on June 7, 2002, but have since dropped five straight to the Dodgers. Los Angeles enters Saturday having lost four in a row, however, so one of those streaks will end in Saturday's opener.
Ryu is set to make his fourth start of the season for the struggling Dodgers, who turn to a rookie who has won two consecutive starts entering his first taste of Interleague Play.
Coming off a disheartening three-game sweep at the hands of San Diego, Los Angeles will need Ryu to continue to be a reliable part of its rotation. His slider has seen considerable improvement since Spring Training, allowing Ryu to use his out pitch -- the changeup -- a bit more frequently.
"It's improved over the last couple of games," Ryu said of the slider. "I'm utilizing it more, especially against righties. I'm just getting into shape the way I would in Korea, back to my normal form."
Hammel, the Orioles' Opening Day starter who threw six solid innings against the Yankees on Saturday, opposes Ryu.
Hammel will look to go deeper in the game, an area where the Orioles' starters have struggled over the past few contests. Prior to the season, Hammel said his goal was to reach 200 innings as a starter. He threw at least six in each of his first three starts.
"I feel great," Hammel said. "I'm doing the same routine and just making sure I stay on top of the smaller things with a little more treatment or icing when necessary."
Dodgers: Hanley shows BP power
• Shortstop Hanley Ramirez (thumb) took part in live early batting practice before the rain started Friday and showed impressive power.
"What he's been able to do has shocked all of us," manager Don Mattingly said. "Taking BP, his swing is like normal. Is he able to do that without the brace? There's still healing to be done. It seems his throwing, he still has trouble with the feel making all his throws. He asked if he could DH tonight and I couldn't hardly argue. I wouldn't mind it."
Ramirez said he hopes to be in the lineup by April 30, when the Dodgers will give away his bobblehead at Dodger Stadium.
• Los Angeles hasn't lost five straight since a seven-game losing streak last June.
Orioles: Pearce penciled in at DH
• Manager Buck Showalter again had Steve Pearce as the designated hitter before Friday's postponement, marking what would have been Pearce's second straight start at the position. Nolan Reimold, who has served as the primary designated hitter while nursing a minor hamstring injury, was slated to start in left field in place of Nate McLouth.
Orioles designated hitters are 4-for-51 (.078) this season with two homers and three RBIs. Pearce improved those numbers Thursday, going 2-for-4 with a two-run homer.
"Stevie knows what's going on, trying to find a way to contribute against guys like [David] Price and [Yankees pitcher CC] Sabathia," Showalter said. "It's hard to do, but he's capable. He's done it in the past."
• Baltimore's 3-4-5 hitters are batting .345 with 14 doubles, 12 home runs and 43 RBIs.
Worth noting
• Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez is hitting just .207 in his career against Hammel with six strikeouts. Matt Kemp has seen similar struggles with a .227 average and five K's.
• The Dodgers are 1-for-19 with the bases loaded this season.
• Although Los Angeles has dominated Baltimore in regular-season play, the Orioles won the matchup that really matters, sweeping the Dodgers to win the 1966 World Series.
• Gonzalez's .386 career average against the Orioles is the highest all-time among players with at least 150 plate appearances.

Is sourdough worth it? Obviously the consensus is that it is not since most of the world uses commercial yeast.
I have an SF culture that has been living in my fridge for 4 years, and I've never noticed a change in it either. I believe very little of what I read or hear when it comes to SD cultures.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Speed of Recumbent Trikes?
30 posts
• Page 1 of 2 • 1, 2
Speed of Recumbent Trikes?Well I've just got to ask...
How much faster is the average recumbent trike than the average bicycle? Am I correct in assuming that they're slower if there's a lot climbing because of the additional weight, but faster on the flats and corners? What's the overall nett gain, if any? Today's effort = Tomorrows reward.
2010 Oppy C6
Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?Hiya,
That's a tricky question with no straightforward answer....... Obviously the rider fitness is a key factor along with type of trike (there are so many different designs for different uses etc....). My Vortex is primarily (by design) a fast trike, my average speed over my commute to work (35.5 km) mostly flat through Geelong is 28 - 30 kph, which probably the same as a good rider on a decent road bike..... In my opinion, I am definitely faster on descents - my trike regularly sees 70kph on 7% descents with total stability, no speed wobbles etc..... On the flat I think I can be slightly faster than a DF road bike, due to the more efficient riding position lower aero drag etc..... On hills, DF road bikes are faster than me, but not by much and predominantly due to the weight of a trike being at list double that of a DF road bike ! I regularly ride with DF road bikes and the riding profiles are different..... My mates tend to pound up hills, and then coast/cruise to recover on the flats or descents, whereas I aim at keeping high but constant cadence 85 - 95 rpm all the time and never really just cruise along, so I will slower on climbs and drop back a bit but then I catch them on the flats and on descents (& usually pass them).... My heart rate is pretty stable at 138 - 150, never any higher......only a long steep hill gets it higher..... You are still affected by headwinds but less so than on an upright DF road bike..... So can make good progress in those conditions, also less affected by side winds when you often see DF road bikes get blown around a lot..... I am sure you'll get more answers to this question !
Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?I will let you know next week.
I do the Ardross to Ossie Park commute 4-5 days a week on a DF currently. Typically about 35-36 mins on the way in a and about five or so more on the way home (assuming the Sou'wester aint a total shocker). I am new to recumbents so my legs aint going to be used to the slightly different action, but I am hoping to only be a few mins slower to start with and comparable with my DF inside of four to six weeks. Trike is an ICEVortex+, so lightish at 13kg vs 8.5 for my commuter DF.
Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?Well you've got a bit of tyre scrub when cornering (but trikes are most fun when cornering hard), the extra rolling resistance of a third wheel, a longer chain to circulate, also most recumbent trikes use internal geared rear hubs (so efficiency issues) and are set up as tourers so a seat set higher off the road and more upright. If you'd ridden a race trike you'd have no question that trikes can be fast, but then a racer isn't suitable for the street; the braking, steering, gears are optimised for speed, not traffic or comfort.
I've got a stable of bikes, to different purposes. My trike isn't slow but then it can't beat my upright TT bike on most terrain, nor my lowracer. Never bought the trike to be fast in straight lines, I bought it to be fun while trying to be fast on corners, rolling hills, cambered roads, the odd speed hump (yes, I have been a member of the airborne trike division of fun). Mind you, as a platform it is versatile, I've raced it in Canberra, toured down south, hauled haybales, gas cylinders and humungous loads, stuck a fairing on and bombed down Lesmurdie Hill trying to break 85kmh. It is a tool, use it how you can. The HPV Challenge is on in Wodonga soon, a chance maybe to try touring as well as purely racing trikes.
Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?Phil,
It'll take 3 months to develop yor recumbent legs ! Your quads will hurt for a while, but no pain, no gain ! Did your Vortex arrive ?
Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?Going by the tracking websie it arrived in Perth Friday afternoon. So hopefully should get delivered tomorrow - then just have to work out how to get it reassembled.
Hmmm 3 months eh... oh well will see how I go. I must admit even hopping on the MTB Inotice the different positioning and muscles being used diferently, at least when the legs dies I can just pull over and quietly cry mysel to sleep on the big wheeled lounge chair
Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?You will have neatest lounge chair wherever you go !
That new seat is pure carbon porn !! In fact the whole is just pure porn !
Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?G'day phil,
Congrats on the great new trike. Sounds a bit of a speed machine. Remind me not to try racing you with my logo. As they say it takes a while for the different muscle groups to acclimatise. I didn't find it too bad. We had our trikes less than a month and only rode about 50 or so km on them before we went off to tour Tassy. Prior to that the most we'd ever don in a single ride was 15 or so km. We used to think 5km round the block on the old 3 speeds was an effort. The trikes made all the difference. The first days riding we rode Devonport to Deloraine, about 60 km and never looked back. I saw a bloke on a Greenspeed. He had a bit of a disability from a bike accident and his whole body rocked as he rode due to a leg problem I think. He scorched past us and disappeared into the distance. He must have been doing 30kmh. I reckon if you have the engine it won't be long before your speed is right up there. I love down hill. My best is 80 kmh. Uphill is slow but if I want I can go really slow and not fall off. I think you are going to really enjoy the trike experience. Remember though its not all about speed. Trikes are great for just lazing along and enjoying the day. Good luck, John
Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?I imagine that one of the drawbacks of a trike is that you can't stand on the pedals when it comes to steep hills. Is that a fair assessment?
Today's effort = Tomorrows reward.

Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?
Makes me happy! Yeah I am not much of a stand and mash climber anyways even on the DF, have much more joy spinning at 100-110rpm. That said Welshpool Rd or Kalamunda Rd are about as long as I have climbed (which is to say bugger all) - unless you count the Byford Cyclo-Sportif last year.

Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?I don't own a trike.... YET so can't answer that one, but it can wildly vary between each trike etc making them unique spec wise. For the short time I had my bacchetta whilst on the trainer I pushed back against the seat and couldn't believe how much extra power was generated, more than on a DF when out of saddle.

Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?
My LogoTrike runs roughly 12 through 120 Gear inches. That's a 52-42-30 up front with an 11-32 8 speedcluster and a SRAM Dual Drive hub that gives a high, normal and low ratio. John
Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?Just running the standard setup - 50/34 Compact and a 11-36 ccassette for 25.5"-122.7". Should be more than enough.
Just dropped it off home and did a brief unpack and examination. All looks like its survived the travels undamaged, I know what I will be doing tonight.
Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?
My experience is that my trike (weighs about 18 kg all up with a pannier, tool kit, spare tubes etc) is a maybe 3 or 4 kph slower average speed in my riding area - lots of hills here, short, steep ones, long steady ones, false crests the lot! I make that comment based on my average speed on the trike compared to my previous steed, a steel framed roadie. Also, I've ridden ATB and a few GVBR with the bulk of people on uprights. On long rides, I find that my ability to keep riding when the guys or girls on uprights are stretching on pedals to rest their sensitive bits (calves of course...) means I end up with a slightly faster riding avverage speed. I agree with others - the uprights pass me on the uphills, I blast past on the downhills, roadies stream past on the flat if they're in trains. I brought my trike not for "fast" but for "fun and comfort", and I love the heads up view. I admit to being tempted sorely by a CatTrike Speed or a velomobile for the extra speed though! Cheers Alan
Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?Yeah I was having issues with my garmin 800 (sorted now with a software update) so no idea on speed. Other than to say going down hill with your butt six inches off the ground at the second lowest recline it feels damn quick.
Legs getting tired pretty easy, done a couple of 15 km rides at night, giving the 16km commute to work a go tomorrow - all classy with my gear in a bag around my neck sitting on my lap. I can feel the dead spot pretty easy so I can see why the Q-rings are popular with recumbents, but will persever for a few months before I do anything radical.
Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?Did the first trike commute. And pretty happy - other than also giving the trike its first visit from the puncture fairy on the City West PSP.
Average 32.1 kmh for the 5km stretch along the river between Canning and the Narrows, with a lower HR than normal, but a higher percieved effort (inner quads are not used to the recumbent posistion). Comparatively on my DF roadie I sit on 34-35kmh average for this stretch. So pretty happy, things will only get better. Greatly impressed with the comfort and the improved visibility (neck ends up crook and you looki about 5 m max in front on DF), no shoulder pain which is just awesome. will pick up an extra cadence sensot for the trike today, I have no clue what mine is in a recumbent position. I think I am spinning fast, but I am probably not http://app.strava.com/activities/5534240 Strava log for this morning on the Trike http://app.strava.com/activities/5450538 Log for Tuesday morning commute on DF
Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?Good work Phil !

Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?Ride can be a bit bumpy as there are a couple of sp;ot on the northern PSP near Leederville I used to stand in the seat for on the DF as it was bad. Still pretty decent though, even with the 23mm Ultremos at 110psi, I have a pair of Duranos on the way for a bit more puncture resistance, which are 28mm.
Felt alot better this morning, working out how to activate my glutes for a bit more power on the return stroke. Average on the Canning Bridge to Narrows run was 33.4kmh which is about where I have been on the DF lately. 25kmh average just a smidge slower than a typical commute, and had a few pedestrians/bikes I had to slow down for due to on-coming traffic, so all in all pretty good, I reckon with time my long distance speed will go up as I won't be stopping to give my shoulder a break. Getting some very weird looks from car drivers, and strangely enough get given more space than I have even gotten on the DF.
Re: Speed of Recumbent Trikes?And you haven't even got your recumbent legs yet Just wait till you do and you will fly, might be even wanting a bigger chainring
Looks like my trike will be coming stock with Big Apples hmmmm suspension I just wonder how puncture proof they are, I may need to upgrade to Durano's as well for increased protection and more speed. Masi Speciale CX 2008 - Brooks B17 special saddle, Garmin Edge 810

And, in the spirit of "building bridges" between tech and bbq forums, yes you can make a pretty decent Doner Kebab lookalike with bacon. The Doner Kebaconbab tastes more authentic than I would have expected. Goes nicely with Amsterdam Orange Weisse beer (hey, it's the first warm-ish day we've had in a while).
Then again, it's hard to find any combination of bacon and wheat beer that *doesn't* go together.

Capuano faces Cahill, D-backs in first start off DL
Los Angeles left-hander hasn't pitched since injuring calf on April 16
The D-backs and Dodgers have both struggled against the National League West early in 2013.
Arizona is 9-10 against the division, while the Dodgers have a 5-13 mark vs. the rest of the NL West.
The division rivals will meet for the first time this year at Dodger Stadium on Monday in the opener of a three-game series, each looking to break out of a recent slump.
The D-backs have lost five of their last six games and are 7-9 during a 16-game stretch against division opponents that continues Monday night in Los Angeles.
The Dodgers have sustained a rash of injuries of late and lost six of their last eight. Despite losing shortstop Hanley Ramirez to the disabled list Friday and second baseman Mark Ellis nursing a strained right quad for more than a week, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said his club still has enough to be competitive.
"For the most part, we haven't been consistent enough," Mattingly said. "We get a lot of hits, but aren't getting them in. I don't think injuries are that big a factor. Every club's got guys missing.
"We can still win. We're capable and we know it. Because we're down a guy or two doesn't mean we can't compete. We can't feel sorry for ourselves."
Trevor Cahill will start for the D-backs on Monday. The right-hander has pitched better than his 1-3 record suggests. He owns a 2.84 ERA and has gone at least seven innings in three of his last four outings. Cahill allowed one run in eight innings against the Giants on Tuesday, but settled for a no-decision.
Cahill tossed eight scoreless innings in that outing, but allowed a single to the leadoff hitter in the ninth and was removed from the game. Pablo Sandoval homered off closer J.J. Putz two batters later to give the Giants a 2-1 victory.
"It's real frustrating when you're so close and you can't finish it out," Cahill said. "You're going to kick yourself maybe even more than if I'd only gone three innings and given up 10. It's a bad feeling."
The Dodgers are expected to activate Chris Capuano off the disabled list before Monday's game to start against the D-backs. The left-hander is returning from a strained left calf that he suffered in his start against the Padres on April 16. Capuano made one rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Albuquerque, allowing two runs in 5 1/3 innings.
D-backs: Sax returns to L.A.
Steve Sax makes his first visit as a coach to Dodger Stadium, where he played for eight seasons from 1981-88. The D-backs first-base coach was drafted by the Dodgers in 1978 and won the NL Rookie of the Year Award with the club in 1982.
Sax will be glad to visit some old friends, but said he's "looking forward to us hopefully beating those guys."
"It's amazing how many guys stay intact," Sax said. "Last time we went to L.A., the same guys are doing the escalators, the same guys are doing the elevators, the same people work in the food area. It's funny how that stays the same. I think it's a great park still, and I think it's better now that the amenities have been fixed up and it's been brought up to date. I think it's a great place to watch a game and I have a lot of good memories there."
Sax is in his first season as a coach with the D-backs.
Dodgers: Gonzalez dealing with neck issue
Adrian Gonzalez was out of the lineup for a third straight game Sunday against the Giants, the result of a stiff left trapezius muscle at the base of the neck, but he entered the game later as a pinch-hitter and singled in two runs.
Gonzalez sustained the injury in a collision with first-base umpire Tony Randazzo on Wednesday night against the Rockies when the slugger turned to chase a double down the line by Carlos Gonzalez.
Gonzalez leads the Dodgers with 22 RBIs and is hitting .337 with three homers in 28 games.
Worth noting
• Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis is 6-for-14 (.429) in his career against Cahill with a solo homer.
• D-backs first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is 9-for-12 (.750) in his career against Capuano with two homers, three doubles and seven RBIs.

Brewers look to extend win streak in San Diego
Before the fences at Petco Park were brought in at the start of this season, not many batters had fond memories of hitting at the Padres' spacious yard.
One exception, however, was Ryan Braun. The last time the Milwaukee slugger visited San Diego, he became the first player to hit three home runs in one game at the park. In Braun's final at-bat of the game, with an opportunity to hit his fourth long ball of the night, the outfielder drove a ball to the deepest part of the yard in right-center field and settled for a two-run triple.
What makes that hit back on April 30, 2012 so interesting is that with the new dimensions of Petco Park, Braun's triple might've gone for another homer.
Now almost a year later, Braun and the Brewers will return to San Diego as Milwaukee, riding a seven-game winning streak, opens up a series with the Padres on Monday evening.
"That was a good night," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said of Braun's historic game. "It's hard to win games in San Diego. They have good pitching, and they scrap and get a few runs. It's tough to score runs in San Diego -- the ballpark, certainly, but also their pitching's good. And to go in there and score a lot of runs, it usually doesn't happen."
Taking the mound for the Brewers will be Kyle Lohse, who is still winless in 2013 despite pitching particularly well. In three starts for Milwaukee, the right-hander has allowed just six runs over 20 innings for a 2.70 ERA.
Opposing Lohse for the Padres will be Jason Marquis, a right-hander who has been equally impressive to start the year. The 34-year-old has surrendered five earned runs over 18 2/3 innings, good enough for a 2.41 ERA.
In his last start, Marquis beat the Dodgers by tossing 7 2/3 stellar innings, holding Los Angeles to one run on three hits.
"It was a battle. My fastball command wasn't where I wanted it, but my slider-split were pretty good," Marquis said after the game. "I tried to tell myself to just try and minimize the damage. We had a 4-0 lead, I just tried to not let it get out of hand."
Brewers: Burgos' status up in the air
A day after Hiram Burgos became the first Brewers pitcher since Yovani Gallardo in 2007 to win his Major League debut, the club was unsure what's next for the rookie.
The Brewers have three choices: Keep Burgos in the starting rotation and simply give everyone an extra day of rest when the team encounters off-days, shift Burgos to the bullpen until they require a fifth starter again on April 30 against the Pirates, or option Burgos back to Triple-A Nashville and summon a true reliever until that fifth starter's spot comes up.
"We're going to wait and see what happens with Wily [Peralta, who started Sunday], see if we like the fit of Burgos and Peralta back-to-back, or we'll split those up a little bit," manager Ron Roenicke said. "We're trying to make it fit, but not over think it."
Burgos held the Cubs to five well-placed hits and only one run in five innings on Saturday. He would have pitched more, but the Brewers went to a pinch-hitter with a chance to go ahead in the bottom of the fifth inning.
Peralta allowed two runs on five hits over 6 2/3 innings in a winning effort on Sunday.
Padres: Alonso gets a breather
Yonder Alonso was out of the lineup for the second time in 2013 on Sunday, but ended up appearing in the game later as a pinch-hitter. He has participated in all 18 Padres games.
"I don't want a day off. There's no need at all to take a day off," Alonso said. "I hate days off."
Prior to batting 0-for-12 in his last four games, Alonso was hitting .419 in his eight previous games with at least one hit in all eight.
"I think you have to put it in perspective," Alonso said Sunday. "We have faced a stretch of three or four guys who have thrown the ball well. You're going to go through a tough stretch of pitchers sometimes."
In 2012, Alonso appeared in 155 games in his first full Major League season.
Worth noting
• The Brewers hit just five homers over their first 10 games of the season. Since then, the team has homered in seven straight games, producing 13 long balls.
• San Diego has hit eight home runs in its last nine games.

Descriptive analysis of data
Modified on 2013/05/20 17:01 by Haoyi Chen — Categorized as: Chapter 4 - Analysis and presentation of gender statistics
The degree of data processing and analysis varies by type of statistical products prepared by the national statistical offices. (See Box 4.1 for types of statistical products that may include gender statistics.) Typically, tables constructed to disseminate data collected in censuses or surveys involve minimum data processing and analysis. A large amount of data is provided, often as absolute frequencies or counts of observations, making difficult to discern the main differences between women and men. Additional processing and analysis are developed when more analytical reports or articles focused on specific topics are prepared. In this case, the differences between women and men have a chance of becoming more visible.
Gender statistics require at least two statistical variables cross-tabulated: sex and the main characteristic that is studied, such as educational attainment or labour force participation. Ideally, additional variables are used in further crosstabulation of data (for example, by age group or geographic areas) in three- or multiple-way tables. Although statistics on individuals have been traditionally disseminated as totals with no further information on women and men, data are increasingly disaggregated by sex in dissemination materials. Still, one limitation in producing gender statistics persists. Sex is often used as only one of the breakdown variables for the data presented. As explained in chapter 1 and shown in chapter 2, gender statistics and a meaningful gender analysis commonly require disaggregation by sex and other characteristics at the same time. For example, gender segregation in the labour market is partially determined by the gender gap in education, therefore data on occupations should be further disaggregated by level of educational attainment.
Basic descriptive analysis of data involves calculation of simple measures of composition and distribution of variables by sex and for each sex that facilitate straightforward gender-focused comparisons between different groups of population. Depending on the type of data, these measures may be proportions, rates, ratios or averages, for example. Furthermore, when necessary, such as in the case of sample surveys, measures of association between variables can be used to decide whether the differences observed for women and men are statistically significant or not.
Percentages, ratios, rates or averages are the basis for calculation of gender indicators. Indicators, in general, are used to "indicate" how differently one group performs by comparison to a norm or a reference group. Gender indicators should show how women perform by comparison to men, what is their status relative to men's status, in areas such as education, formal work, access to resources, health or decision-making. In this regard, gender indicators are important tools for planners and policy makers in monitoring progress toward gender equality.
The sections following present the type of data involved in gender statistics, measures of composition and distribution used in gender statistics, and the types of gender indicators that can be constructed using those measures.
Box 4.1 Types of statistical products disseminating gender statistics
Gender statistics are made available by national statistical offices through various types of dissemination products. Some of the dissemination products are part of the regular production of a statistical office and aimed at making available data collected in censuses, sample surveys or compiled from administrative sources. They usually concern one type of data source or one statistical field and are intended to specialists who wish to further analyse the results of censuses or surveys or carry out research on specific topics. The data disseminated in this type of products can be detailed, organized in large tables, and often presented as absolute values or raw data that would give specialists more flexibility in doing their own analysis. A gender perspective can be integrated in these products by systematic sex-disaggregation of data and systematic coverage of data needed to address gender issues.
Other dissemination products that may include gender statistics are analytical reports or articles focused on specific topics. Data and other information may be compiled from more than one source and different statistical fields may be covered. Policy concerns are usually taken into account. These publications are intended for larger audience, not only statisticians, but also research and policy specialists in the topic or topics covered. Data disseminated in this type of product is presented in small summary tables and charts and discussed in the accompanying text. Large tables with more detailed data may be provided in annexes. A gender perspective can be integrated in these products through three elements: data-based analysis of gender issues specific to the selected topic; illustrations with gender-sensitive tables and charts; and systematic sex-disaggregation of data presented in annexes of the publication.
Statistical publications focused on gender issues are one type of analytical reports. The typical example is the "Women and men" publications produced by many national statistical offices. These publications contain data from different statistical fields and from different sources; cover multiple policy areas and gender issues; and are addressed to a large audience, including persons with limited or no experience in statistics. They are an important tool for non-statisticians, gender specialists, gender advocates and policy makers. Instead of presenting data and let the reader analyze them and draw their own conclusions, these publications are focused on presenting the main results of data analysis and their interpretation, including implications for policymaking. They are usually designed to be user friendly, based on easily comprehended language, with simple tables and charts, and attractive presentation.
Finally, gender statistics are disseminated through dedicated databases or through more comprehensive databases such as those focused on social indicators, development indicators or human development indicators. Data disseminated in this format usually cover several areas of concern and several points in time or time periods. Data are usually presented ready processed into indicators that facilitate comparisons over time or between various groups of population. Information on calculation of indicators included in the database, underlying definitions or concepts used, and sources of data used, are sometimes made available along with the database. This type of dissemination product is usually targeted to specialists interested to analyze themselves statistical information, including for monitoring purposes.

Developing Gender Statistics: A Practical Tool.
Type of data involved in gender statistics: qualitative and quantitative variables
Statistical variables are classified into two broad classes based on their measurement level: qualitative variables, also called categorical variables (for example, sex, marital status, ethnicity, educational attainment); and quantitative variables (for example, age, income, and time spent on paid or unpaid activities). Categorical variables are of two major types: nominal variables (such as sex and marital status) and ordinal variables (such as educational attainment). Nominal variables do not imply any continuum or sequence of their categories. Typical examples include sex or ethnicity. The categories can be arranged in any order without inconvenience in the analysis. However, for the convenience in presentation, they can be arranged alphabetically, in order of their relative size in the population, or in order of relative focus of the publication (for example, first women, followed by men). Ordinal variables imply an underlying continuum. When dealing with ordinal variables, the categories must be arranged in the order implied by the continuum to facilitate analysis of the data. A typical example is "level of educational attainment". The categories can be order in ascending or descending order of level of education. For example: no education, primary education, secondary education, post-secondary non-tertiary education, and tertiary education. Some continuous variables tend to be coded into a few categories and treated as ordinal variables. For example, age in single years can be recoded in 5-year age groups and displayed from the youngest to the oldest ages.The distinction between types of variables is important because specific statistical measures can be applied to each category, as shown in the paragraphs following.
Measures of composition or distribution for qualitative variables
Computation of proportions, percentages, ratios and rates are basic statistical procedures in describing the categorical composition or distribution of qualitative variables, and useful tools for standardization of the statistics compared. It is important to keep in mind that the measures of composition or distribution should not be calculated for small number of observations. In that case, actual numbers (absolute frequencies) should be preferred.
Proportions and percentages
A proportion
is defined as the relative number of observations in a given category of a variable relative to the total number of observations for that variable. It is calculated as the number of observations in the given category divided by the total number of observations. The sum of proportions of observations in each category of a variable should equal to unity, unless the categories of the variable are not mutually exclusive. Most often, proportions are expressed in percentages. Percentages are obtained from proportions multiplied by 100. Percentages will add up to 100 unless the categories are not mutually exclusive.
In gender statistics, proportions can be calculated as relative measures of (a) distributions of each sex by selected characteristics; and (b) sex distributions within the categories of a characteristic. These two types of proportions are presented in the Table 4.1. In the first case of distribution, the proportions are calculated as relative frequencies of the categories of a characteristic for each sex, with women's and men's respective totals used as the denominators. For example, in the third column of data in Table 4.1 it can be observed that employed represents 39 per cent of all women. This is calculated as the number of women employed divided by women's total population in the corresponding age group and multiplied by 100. In comparison, employed represents 73 per cent of all men, as shown in the fourth column of data. This is calculated as the number of men employed divided by men's total population in the corresponding age group and multiplied by 100.
In gender-related analysis, proportions calculated as percentage distributions can be used to compare women and men with regard to various social or economic characteristics. A simple measure of the gender gap is the differential prevalence, where percents in the distribution of a characteristic within the female population are subtracted from corresponding percents in the distribution of the characteristic within the male population. The resulting percentage-point difference indicates the gender gap in the characteristic considered. In our case, the proportion of women employed is lower than the proportion of men employed by 34 percentage points.
The percentage distribution of the categories of a characteristic for each sex is the basis of most of the gender indicators. A few examples are the labour force participation rate, literacy rate, school attendance rate, or contraceptive use. Based on the proportions calculated in the data columns 3 and 4 in Table 4.1, two indicators of the status of women and men on the labour market can be directly figured out. For example, the proportion of women who are employed (39 per cent in our case) is actually the indicator employment-to-population ratio, one of the indicators for the first Millennium Development Goal, on eradication of poverty and hunger. Furthermore the proportion of women who are employed or unemployed give the labour force participation rate (in our case, the labour force participation for women is 39 +2 =41 per cent). Based on the data presented in the table two other indicators can be calculated: unemployment rate (which is the proportion of unemployed in the total of employed and unemployed); and employment rate (which is the proportion of employed in the total of employed and unemployed).

Sex distribution within the categories of a characteristic are shown in the data columns 5 and 6 in Table 4.1. In this case the proportions are calculated by raw, as opposed to the previous type of proportions, calculated by columns. For example, 36 per cent of the employed are women and the rest 64 per cent are men. The share of women in employed is calculated as the number of women employed divided by the total number of women and men employed and multiplied by 100.
Among the gender indicators constructed based on sex distribution within a category of population are the proportion of seats in parliament held by women, share of girls among the children out-school, share of women among agricultural workers, and share of women among older population living alone.
This type of indicator is often used for population groups known to have an overrepresentation of women or men. The selected groups are often linked to a policy concern. For example, in many countries women represent a minority of parliament members, ministries, chief executives of corporations, mayors, or researchers. Policies based on gender quota are used by some of the countries to increase the participation of women in those groups.
The percentage of women and the percentage of men in a group, always add up to one hundred per cent. Because of that, often only one of the indicators (share of women usually) is presented in tables or graphs.
Particular compositional aspects of a population can be made explicit by use of ratios. A ratio is a single number that expresses the relative size of two numbers. The ratio of one number A to another number B is defined as A divided by B. Ratios can take values greater than unity. Because of the way they are calculated, proportions can be considered a special type of ratio in which the denominator includes the numerator. However, ordinarily, the term ratio is used to refer to instances in which the numerator (A) and the denominator (B) represent separate and distinct categories. Ratios can be expressed in any base that happened to be convenient, however, often used is the base of 100.
A well-known example of ratio based on qualitative variables is the sex ratio – the number of males per 100 females, used to state the degree to which members of one sex outnumber those of the other sex in a population or subgroup of a population. A variation of this indicator is the sex ratio of birth, defined as the number of male live births per 100 female live births.
Other gender indicators based on sex ratios may involve the standardization of the variables used. For example, gender parity index calculated for participation at various levels of education is intended to reflect the surplus of girls or boys enrolled in school. The indicator can be calculated simply by dividing the number of girls enrolled to the number of boys enrolled. This gives a good estimation of the distribution by sex in enrolment. However, it gives a poor measure of gender differences in access to education, because the differences in the number of girls and number of boys that should be in school (the school-age population) are not taken into account. An alternative calculation of the indicator that controls for the sex composition of the school-age population uses the ratio of net enrolment rates (or gross enrolment ratios) for girls to net enrolment rates (or gross enrolment ratios) for boys.
In general, proportions and ratios are useful for analysis of the composition of a population or of a set of events. Rates, in contrast, are used to study the dynamics of change. Most often used in gender statistics are rates of incidence. A rate of incidence is usually defined as the number of events that occur within a given time interval (usually a year) divided by the number of members of the population who were exposed to the risk of the event during the same time interval. Rates can be considered a special type of ratio, in the sense that they are obtained by dividing a number (of events) to another number (of population exposed to the event). In calculating rates, it is usually assumed that the events are evenly distributed throughout the year, while the population at risk is approximated as the midyear population. Demographic rates such as fertility rates and mortality rates are typical examples of rates calculated in gender statistics. By convention, some ordinary percentage figures showing the composition of a population group are called rates. For example, what is called literacy rate is actually a simple percentage of the population that is literate.
When data on population exposed to risk are not easily available, a close approximation of that population is used as denominator to summarize the incidence of the events considered. The indicator obtained is not considered a rate anymore, but a ratio. For example, in the case of maternal mortality, when the originating population – that is the number of pregnant women – is not available, the indicator is calculated on the number of live births, and is more accurately called maternal mortality ratio.
Data used for the numerator and data used for the denominator in calculating rates come sometimes from different sources. For example, in the case of mortality rates, data on deaths used for the numerator may come from the civil registration system, while data on population used for the denominator may come from population censuses. When data from different sources are to be combined, it is essential to ascertain whether they are comparable in terms of the coverage of all groups of population and geographic areas, and time period(see Box 4.2).
is similar to a rate, with one important difference: the denominator is composed of all those persons in a given population at the beginning of the period of observation. Typical examples are infant mortality rate and under-five mortality rate. The numerators are infant and child deaths respectively. The denominator used is the number of births, which represents the population at risk of dying at the beginning of the period of observation.
Measures of composition or distribution for quantitative variables
In gender statistics, the measures of central tendency and dispersion commonly used to analyse continuous variables are the median and quantiles, the arithmetic mean and the standard deviation.
Medians and quantiles
is the value that divides a set of ranked observations into two groups of observations of equal size. Examples of indicators based on the median are the median age of the population and the median income in population. The concept of median can be generalized, obtaining
, which divide a ranked distribution into groups of equal number of observations. Examples of quantiles are
quartiles, quintiles, deciles
. Quartiles divide the ranked distribution into four equal groups, quintiles in five groups, deciles in ten groups, while percentiles in one hundred groups. These measures are often used in presenting the distribution of income or wealth scores.
Means and standard deviation
arithmetic mean
) is defined as the sum of values recorded for a quantitative variable divided by the total number of observations. Examples of indicators based on arithmetic mean are the average time use for unpaid work by sex, the average size of land owned by sex of the owner, mean age at first marriage by sex and mean age of mother at first child. Some gender indicators are calculated as ratios between the averages calculated for women and for men. For example, one of the indicators commonly used to show the gender pay gap is the ratio of female to male earnings in manufacturing. It is calculated by dividing the average earnings gained by women employed in manufacturing by average earnings gained by men employed in manufacturing.
Deviations from the mean
are differences between the values of each observation for a particular variable and the mean of all values observed for that variable. Values of some observations are greater than the mean, therefore their deviations from the mean are positive; while values of other observations are smaller than the mean, therefore their deviations from the mean are negative. When the deviations from the mean are squared, all the negative deviations become positive. The sum of all squared deviations divided by the number of observations (or by the number of observations minus 1 in the case of data from sample-based surveys) is called variance. Variance is a measure of variability in the distribution of a variable. It represents the degree to which individuals differ from a mean value of a variable. The greater the spread of observations, the greater the variance. Because the variance is measured in squared units of the variable, it is difficult to interpret its values. Taking the square root of the deviance returns the measure to the original unit of the variable. This measure is called standard deviation. The size of the standard deviation relative to that of the mean is called
coefficient of variation.
Although measures of dispersions such as standard deviation and coefficient of variation are not often presented in gender statistics, they have an important role in measuring the degree of association between variables and in making inferences about a population based on data collected from a sample of that population.
Box 4.2 Using data from different sources
When data from different sources are to be combined, it is essential to ascertain whether they are comparable in terms of the coverage, time period, definitions and concepts. Statistics from different government sources may differ in arrangement, detail and choice of derived figures. Moreover, what appear to be comparable figures may not be, due to errors or variations in classification or data-processing procedures. Lack of comparability can also be a problem with time-series data, if concepts or methods have changed from one period to another.
Checks for consistency and comparability between different sources should be made any time different sources are to be combined. Obtaining comparable data for the period covered by a study or for completing time series should be a paramount concern. It is most problematic when different sources are used for the same indicator (say, if missing years require supplementary data). Any variations in concepts from different sources and even different years within the same source should be thoroughly checked.
In most cases these checks can be made by reviewing the source's documentation. It is also a good idea to consult specialists in different fields who may themselves supply or use the data. These specialists often have additional information on availability of data (which may not be well publicized). They often understand special considerations of specific types of data, and know of existing evaluations.

Gallery: Talk To Me Exhibit at MoMA Examines Communication Between Peop...
"It's time to stop talking about chairs," says Lucas Maassen, "and let them talk back at us." The Singing Chair does just that. On the back of a simple wooden chair is a digital screen that shows a lifelike mouth that moves as the chair talks and sings in a deep voice reminiscent of crooners like Frank Sinatra. The chair has wit, confidence, and allure as an object with a personality of its own.
Antonelli, working with curatorial assistant Kate Carmody, divided the exhibit into six categories: objects, bodies, life, city, worlds, and double entendre. The designs emphasize our increasing desire to share information and have a personal dialogue with objects is driving force behind design. Fittingly, the curators set up a blog where they shared all of the possible submissions as they planned the show. Pieces in the final show range from furniture and accessories to machines and buildings.
Some of the designs, like the BIX Communicative Display Skin, are already implement in the real world. Created by Jan and Tim Elder of realities:united, the skin transforms the facade of a biomorphic art museum in Austria into a gigantic urban screen. Light rings atop the screen can be adjusted for brightness, and the screen can be used to enhance the museum's communication with the community. MoMA writes, "The modular system embodies a vision of architecture as a changing, moving, and performing medium and demonstrates an accessible, eco-conscious (for its era) integration of media surfaces in urban landscapes."
Many of the objects in the show are clever ideas that give silent everyday things a voice. Botanicalls, a gadget designed by a group of students in 2006 while in NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program, lets house plants talk to their owners. The device uses moisture sensors in a plant's soil to send messages that are either tweeted or read allowed on a recording to let its caretaker know when it needs a drink. While Botanicalls is a playful idea, the technology used could be implemented and adapted for a number of situations.
The double entendre category has some of the most playful and fun ideas that allow visitors to interact with the art. Becoming Animal, by Stephen and Theodore Spyropoulos, is a particularly intriguing design that lets you virtually become a dog and interact with the mythical Kerberos, the three-headed gate keeper of the underworld. In the installation, you'll wear a dog mask made of heavy silkscreened paper and be guided by three actors. Kerberos will respond with real emotions, showing love, hate, and anger through sounds, facial expressions and gestures.
While we can show you images of the designs and explain how they work, the only way you can get the full interactive experience of Talk to Me is to see it for yourself. As the curators write, "Designers are using the whole world to communicate, transforming it into a live stage for an information parkour and enriching our lives with emotion, motion, direction, depth, and freedom." Talk to Me is an excellent exploration, even experience, of this idea, while at the same time expanding the idea of what a museum exhibition should be.
The exhibit will be on view at MoMA through November 7.

Jesse Watlington / Special to news-press.com
Where to help
Anyone who wishes to help the Watlington family cover their son�s medical expenses can send donations to the McGregor Baptist Church at 3750 Colonial Blvd., Fort Myers. Contributions should be addressed to the Jesse Fund.
Jesse Watlington, 11, hit by lightning Wednesday, died shortly after being removed from life support at Tampa General Hospital on Sunday.
His father, Chuck Watlington, posted a message around 11:40 a.m. Sunday on a Facebook page called �Pray for Jesse Watlington�:
�Our precious little son Jesse is now with our Lord and Saviour Jesus. We would like to Thank the thousands of you for all your love, support and prayers! Jesse has touched the lives of literally thousands of people around the World. Thank you all!�
The 11-year-old had been struck as he walked with other children prior to football practice around 4 p.m. Wednesday at Southwest Florida Christian Academy on the McGregor Baptist Church campus.
The church said on its Facebook page that the family made the decision to remove Jesse from life support based on the most recent neurological tests.
Family members said that the youngster was removed from life support and his heart stopped beating a little more than 20 minutes later.
His sister, Carolina, 14, posted on the �Pray for Jesse Watlington� Facebook page shortly thereafter:
�I will always love you Jesse. Everything I do will be for YOU. I need you... - Carolina Watlington�
McGregor, which is affiliated with Jesse�s school, held a special prayer service Sunday morning during their regular service.
Richard Powell, senior pastor of McGregor Baptist, confirmed to The News-Press that Jesse had died.
�We will continue to pray for the family,� Powell said Sunday afternoon.
He added that a decision on counseling is still being discussed. However, he said, �we will have all of our pastors on call to deal with grief.�
The church Sunday also posted the following on it�s mcgregor.net web site:
�The family has requested that we say thank you for your love, support, and prayers. Based on neurological tests done in recent hours, life support has been removed, and Jesse�s struggles are ending. Please continue to pray for this dear family.�
Earlier Friday, Jesse�s parents said that doctors had noted some reaction when they shined a light into the boy�s eye.
However, he was showing no involuntary responses to stimuli, said Chuck Watlington, who was at work at Fabulous Furniture in Fort Myers when his wife called to say that their son had been struck by lightning. Jesse was taken to Gulf Coast Hospital and then airlifted to Tampa General at 1 a.m. Thursday.
Thousands of people responded to McGregor Baptist Church�s Facebook request for prayers and to the Jesse Facebook page, which had more than 8,600 �likes� by Sunday evening. By Friday afternoon Jesse�s story had traveled all the way across the pond to become a prominent story in London�s Daily Mail.
Staff writers Jackie Winchester and Dayna Harpster contributed to this story.

[edit] Non-weekly
[edit] Project Updates
[edit] Consensus items
[edit] Discussion Items
[edit] Dr. Bobby
Dr. Bobby? Shannon: Dr. Robert Owens is self-doctored. Has been showing up at NB and being disruptively schizophrenic (yes, we have another one). Shannon removed him fom the space. He followed Shannon across San Francisco. Shannon got on BART; he had a ticket. Shannon entered an access-controlled building and let security handle him.
Friday: rummaging through spare parts bins attempting to build an NSA supercomputer. We let him take the PCI network card and an old PCMCIA card. He left Applied Cryptography.
Saturday: someone escorted him "the hell" out.
Sunday: came back; police came and took him away. SFPD knows Dr. Bobby very well.
Zedd turns trains on back.
Shannon: Bobby shows clear signs of schizophrenia.
We've had this discussion before. If people feel endangered, they should do what they need to do.
He's been coming here for two months. He's been sitting at a computer looking at camps and stuff.
In general, having the police here is undesirable. On the other hand, feel free to avail yourself of the emergency structures of San Francisco.
Executive summary: If he creeps you out and you don't want to deal with it, post to IRC and see if someone wants to deal with it. If no one volunteers, call the police probably.
Related update: Erin got out of the hospital but is now shacked up with a friend in the south bay. Hacker Dojo?
Anonymous piece of cardboard: guy seeking help on that thing sitting next to Mike. His name's Anthony. Words illegible. He's got some Google stuff. The cardboard piece is on the apparatus next to Mike. It is an apparatus to keep a container of water at a specific temperature. He said he'd be back.
[edit] Frantisek
Did some changes to the fridge. The big fridge is now just drinks. Use the non-big fridge for non-drinks.
[edit] Shannon: treasurer
Treasurer's term is up. We need a new treasurer. Kelly has volunteered to step up. Next week we will be officially consensing on letting Kelly manage our money. (Other people can totally step up.) In the absence of anyone else, we're going to force Kelly to do it next week.
[edit] Moxie: October 2
Week from this Saturday, Noisebridge anniversary party is here. Moxie could use some help with it -- specifically with promotion. Only fun if you have at least 100 people here. Moxie's just moved back, so he's not well-positioned to market it.
Party starts at 7:30. Deciding what to do with the money is only half of it, and we're playing music and stuff too. Does anyone have weird mad-science-y projects to put up in the space? If so, talk to Moxie.
[edit] End of Meeting
- Put back the membership binder by the Shrine at the northeast corner.
- Save the meeting notes to the wiki.
- Send a copy of the meeting notes to the discussion list.
- Copy the Meeting Notes Template for next week's agenda and update the main wiki page's link to it.
- Enjoy a cocktail with your fellow hacker or robot.
