PSU trustees install new leadership
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Penn State's Board of Trustees elected banking executive Karen Peetz to lead the embattled board and help the school negotiate the aftermath of a nightmarish child sex abuse scandal involving a former assistant football coach.
The trustees picked Peetz to be president of the 32-member board in a voice vote Friday. She is vice chairman of The Bank of New York Mellon. The trustees also elected farm owner Keith Masser as the vice chair. Like Peetz, he was unopposed.
They're replacing Steve Garban and John Surma, respectively, who guided the board in the two tumultuous months since Jerry Sandusky was charged with dozens of counts of child sex abuse. They decided not to run for another yearlong term as board officers.
Under Garban and Surma's watch, the board ousted football coach Joe Paterno and promised to uncover the truth behind the Sandusky case and Penn State officials' involvement in it through an internal investigation.
In recent weeks, the trustees have felt increasing heat from some former alumni and players critical of how Paterno's firing was handled, and what's been seen as a lack of openness on the board.
"The first thing I want to say to the entire Penn State community is that we have been through a very difficult experience together. We have tried to do the right thing," Peetz said. "All of us, including the board, with the wisdom of hindsight could have done things differently."
She said the board agreed it would focus on three themes ... "the first is change, the second is reform and the third is transparency."
Sandusky, a longtime defensive coordinator who helped Paterno win two national titles, is out on bail and awaiting trial after denying charges that he abused 10 boys over 15 years.
The scandal resulting from his arrest Nov. 5 has had wide-ranging implications going beyond Paterno and the storied football program.
Since Sandusky was charged, the university has cited its status as a state-related university - along with Temple, Pitt and Lincoln - in denying requests by The Associated Press for documents related to a 1998 investigation into Sandusky that began when a woman complained he had showered with her son, a copy of his severance agreement and emails among top administrators about Sandusky.
Some state lawmakers have called for a change in the commonwealth's three-year-old open records law to get rid of an exemption that allows Penn State and the other state-related universities to keep their operations out of the public eye while receiving taxpayer money.
"We have to decide, the board has to decide, whether they're going to be a public entity that receives public funds or a private entity," said Gov. Tom Corbett, who also is a trustee. "But it is something that is incumbent on the board in the next few weeks and months that the decision has to be made."
The board is also undertaking its own investigation into the case. Ken Frazier, the trustee overseeing the effort, said results of the probe may now not come until next fall - if then. Frazier added there was no "artificial timetable" - he wants to give investigators ample time for thorough questioning.

Let the gripes begin!
That popular modern Olympic sport once again is in full swing: complaining about NBC's coverage of the Games.
It's too political. It's not political enough. Meredith Vieira is underqualified. Bob Costas looks too fuzzy. But above all, the groaners hate that the Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, largely will be shown on tape delay on American television.
Sports fans wanting to watch the events live must watch online, either at NBColympics.com or through NBC's Sports Live Extra app for mobile devices. But even some events – notably, Friday's opening ceremony – are saved for prime time only.
Cynics were quick to revive the #NBCFail hashtag on Twitter that proved so popular during the 2012 Summer Games in London. By Friday, as the opening ceremony began at 8 a.m. Pacific Time – 12 hours before it would air here on KNBC/4 – the complaints were roiling on Twitter. A few printable examples:
"The Olympics are back! You know what that means? @nbc & @NBCSports are back to be laughably arrogant and bad."
"Olympic drinking game: Do a shot every time NBC shows a live event. Oh never mind, you won't even get a buzz."
"I just did something really neat but I think I'll wait eight hours to tell you about it, just like NBC does."
But for all the noise they make and all the press they get, the complainers miss an important point: They're in the minority. When it comes to the Olympics, TV consumers on the whole have shown a preference for NBC's tape-delayed "curated" presentations in prime time.
"The time difference doesn't allow for us to be live in prime time," Mark Lazarus, NBC Sports Group's chairman, said during a recent conference call with journalists. "We will package and curate it in a way that makes it a place that huge gatherings of family and friends want to gather and get together in front of their TV."
So far, NBC's plan has been working. After smashing their ratings expectations with the 2012 Summer Games in London, NBC opened its 18 days of prime time last Thursday with a solid 20 million viewers and a strong 6.0 rating among adults under 50, defeating two of TV's biggest shows in "The Big Bang Theory" on CBS and "American Idol" on Fox.
Those numbers underscore NBC's belief that it is doing the right thing by editing results into a package that includes personal profiles, news pieces and travelogue-style features.
And it had better work. NBC's parent company, Comcast, spent $4.38 billion to buy the rights to the Games of 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020. Even though the Olympics provide a great promotional platform for the rest of the network's lineup – Jimmy Fallon's stint as the host of "The Tonight Show" will begin mid-Games – they still need to generate huge amounts of revenue. And that means NBC needs to pack the prime-time audience.
That might raise the hackles of traditional sports viewers. Imagine if the Super Bowl were tape-delayed, and Seattle Seahawks fans had to wait three hours after kickoff to watch their team's victory. It's even worse in Sochi, where the time lag is a full 12 hours and the difficulty of remaining unspoiled all day is magnified.
But folks who watch the Winter Olympics for the most part aren't expecting a traditional sports broadcast. The audience for the Olympics tends to be more like the standard prime-time audience: older and more heavily female.

I oppose the resolution to invoke prayer at the start of each meeting of the Board of Clark County Commissioners.
Board members and other representatives of the government should not misuse the privilege their position confers upon them to promote religious messages.
The prayers would confer an appearance of official government endorsement, and marginalize members of the community who do not conform to the religious beliefs espoused in the messages.
Please do not adopt government-sponsored prayers and show respect for the Establishment Clause and the rights of conscience of all members of our pluralistic society.
A quarter of the Washington state population is nonreligious, including myself.

Relocation of major prisons closer to reality
More News from Ana G. Roa
MANILA, Philippines—The planned relocation of the New Bilibid Prison and the Correctional Institution for Women under the public-private partnership (PPP) scheme has advanced to the feasibility study stage, according to the PPP Center.
The PPP Center announced over the weekend that funding support for the feasibility study of the proposed Regional Prison Facility Project was approved during the meeting of the Project Development and Monitoring Facility (PDMF) board last October 12.
"This means that we are going to hire transactional advisers to do the feasibility study of the transfer of New Bilibid Prison and Correctional Institution for Women to two sites," said PPP Center executive director Cosette Canilao in a phone interview.
The Department of Justice (DOJ), through the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor), will be the lead implementing agency of the project.
"DOJ's proposal is to construct prison facilities in Nueva Ecija and Capiz and empty out the New Bilibid Prison and the Correctional Institution for Women," Canilao said.
The proposed PPP project seeks to improve the poor state of penal facilities in the country such as the New Bilibid Prison and the Correctional Institution for Women, located in Muntinlupa City and Mandaluyong City, respectively.
The PDMF support will cover the preparation of a feasibility study, advisory services in developing and structuring the PPP option, preparation of transaction documents, and bid process management until financial close.
The PDMF is a revolving fund managed by the PPP Center and funded by the Philippine government through Executive Order No. 8, which reorganized the Build-Operate and Transfer Center and renamed it the PPP Center.
The PDMF is supplemented by the government of Australia under a technical assistance program of the Asian Development Bank and the government of Canada.

Commemorating Armed Forces Day.
Share this:
"Commemorating Armed Forces Day."
It's worth noting that President Bush's threat to veto a 3.5 percent pay raise for U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan came just two days before Armed Forces Day, the "single holiday for citizens to come together and thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country."

Thomas Morris Chester, the only black correspondent for a major daily newspaper (the Philadelphia Press) during the war, had nothing but scorn for the Confederacy, and referred to Lee as a "notorious rebel." But when Chester witnessed Lee's arrival in shattered, burned-out Richmond after the surrender, his dispatch sounded a more sympathetic note. After Lee "alighted from his horse, he immediately uncovered his head, thinly covered with silver hairs, as he had done in acknowledgment of the veneration of the people along the streets," Chester wrote. "There was a general rush of the small crowd to shake hands with him. During these manifestations not a word was spoken, and when the ceremony was through, the General bowed and ascended his steps. The silence was then broken by a few voices calling for a speech, to which he paid no attention. The General then passed into his house, and the crowd dispersed."
Making Sense of Robert E. Lee

India's economy grew below expectations at 4.7 % in October-December on falling output in the manufacturing sector, making achievement of 4.9 % GDP expansion in 2013-14 a tough task.
Meanwhile, growth in the key infrastructure sector slowed to 1.6% in January from 8.3% in the same month a year ago due to poor output of coal, petroleum refinery products and natural gas, adding to the concerns of industry.
Worried over 1.9% contraction in the output of the manufacturing sector, India Inc stepped up its demand for a rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to boost demand and spur growth.
The manufacturing sector had grown 2.5 % a year ago, according to official data released here by the Central Statistics Office (CSO).
The manufacturing output contracted 0.7 % for the first nine months of the financial year.
The country's gross domestic product (GDP) had expanded 4.8% in the July-September quarter and 4.4% in April-June.
Growth in the first nine months (April-December) was 4.6%.
The economy must expand by 5.7 % in January- March to achieve estimated GDP expansion of 4.9 per cent in 2013-14.
Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council Chairman C Rangarajan hoped that growth would be strong enough in the fourth quarter to achieve 4.9 % mark. He termed the third quarter performance as "a little below expectation".
Expressing concerns over sub-optimal output in mining and manufacturing sectors, CII Director General Chandrajit Banerjee suggested that with inflation on the wane RBI should now ease monetary policy.
On industry's demand for a rate cut, Rangarajan said: "That would depend on inflation numbers, if inflation continues to trend downwards, it will give room for RBI to cut rates."

"Maine's Shrimp Fishery May Face New Restrictions"
"PORTLAND, Maine — Federal regulators may limit the number of fishermen allowed to catch northern shrimp in the Gulf of Maine once the depleted fishery reopens."

"PORTLAND, Maine — Federal regulators may limit the number of fishermen allowed to catch northern shrimp in the Gulf of Maine once the depleted fishery reopens."
"Scientists found intersex fish in three river basins in Pennsylvania, a sign that the water may be tainted with chemicals from human activity."
"Fish seem like chummy enough creatures, often schooling with fish they're familiar with to avoid predators and increase the chances of finding a mate. But as carbon dioxide levels rise worldwide, they could lose their ability to recognize each other, in effect becoming "friendless" wanderers who will hang out with just about anybody."
"STOUGHTON, Mass. — In a warehouse south of Boston, miles away from the city's bustling harbor, James Tran, a semiconductor designer, is incubating an unlikely product: shrimp."
"Protesters gathered to illegally dredge for gold on Tuesday in an Idaho river where such mining is banned, in an open challenge to the U.S. government's authority to regulate public waters and lands in Western states, an organizer said."
"Levels of a now-banned toxic pollutant continue to decline in the tissue of coho and chinook salmon in Lake Michigan waters."
"A new census study shows there are more than 2,400 white sharks off California and suggests that existing protective measures should be maintained because they are increasing the size and health of the population."
Cafeterias, prisons and federal food programs may soon be serving a high-mercury fish in seemingly innocuous form.
"'The worry is that if you have reduced swimming performance you're going to be less effective at capturing prey, and less effective in avoiding (predators),' said Martin Grosell, a professor at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science."
"ORCAS ISLAND, Wash. — Drew Harvell peers into the nooks and crannies along the rocky shoreline of Eastsound on Orcas Island. Purple and orange starfish clutch the rocks, as if hanging on for dear life. In fact, they are."

I use emacs via Putty and since Putty doesn't send certain key combinations to the remote console I generally need to re-bind them to other key combinations.
After installing the amazing Zen-Coding mode I had some trouble with the preview it generated; I couldn't get it to insert the output it was previewing. I got around this with the following keybindings:
(global-set-key "\M-\r" 'zencoding-expand-line)
(global-set-key "\M-]" 'zencoding-preview-accept)
However, what I'd like to do is be able to hit
M-RET again when the preview is open and have it insert the output.
My emacs-lisp-fu is extremely weak, however.
Is there a way I can test whether the preview is open and capture/bind another

Indigo Girls to team with San Diego Women's Chorus in benefit for Lesbian Health Initiative
"Songs of Protest, Songs of Peace" benefit concert, with the Indigo Girls and the San Diego Women's Chorus
When: 7 p.m. next Sunday | Where: Balboa Theatre, 868 Fourth Ave., downtown
Tickets: $30-$80; VIP tickets (which include a post-concert reception with the Indigo Girls at the Hard Rock Cafe) are $250
Phone: (619) 570-1100 (regular tickets); (619) 291-3383 (VIP tickets) | Online: ticketmaster.com
Over the course of a career that stretches back to the early 1980s, the Indigo Girls have scored hit albums, headlined numerous national tours, performed with symphony orchestras and opened concerts for R.E.M. and the Grateful Dead. Concurrently, this acclaimed vocal duo has supported an array of progressive social and political causes, including recording two albums with the Lee Arrendale State Prison Choir in Georgia.
But Emily Saliers and Amy Ray have never performed live with the San Diego Women's Chorus — or any chorus, for that matter — as the duo will next Sunday at the Balboa Theatre. The nearly sold-out concert is billed as "Songs of Protest, Songs of Peace." It is a benefit for the 27-year-old nonprofit chorus and for the newly launched Lesbian Health Initiative of the San Diego Human Dignity Foundation.
"We love playing San Diego and have a long history of playing at Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, which we love, and we have some great radio connections there," Saliers said from her Atlanta home.
"But, beyond that, performing with the chorus was just one of those things that came through the pipeline. And we thought: 'This is a really neat event.' We've never done something live with a chorus like this, and it's a great cause. We get asked to do a lot of things, and Amy and I both feel excited to be doing this."
Celebrating diversity
The San Diego Women's Chorus was founded in 1987 to celebrate diversity through music. Its 90 members, who range in age from 12 to 75, will open the concert with selections that include Cat Stevens' "Peace Train," John Lennon's "Imagine" and more recent songs, such as Sara Bareilles' "Brave." The Indigo Girls will then perform several songs, unaccompanied, before teaming with the chorus for the grand finale.
"We chose music that speaks to the kind of political and social movements that brought about change over the last century," said Carin Schenin, the chorus' board president. "I think the concert will appeal to people from all different generations who enjoy pop music. We're very diverse and try to represent that diversity in the songs we perform. And we're so excited to be sharing the stage with the Indigo Girls."
That excitement is mutual, as Saliers happily made clear.
"It will be so much fun to do this concert," she said. "As I understand it, the San Diego Women's Chorus is not a professional chorus — it's an all-volunteer organization — so the spirit of that makes everything laid back and enjoyable. No one is 'on the clock.' And the fact that it's raising funds for a lesbian health initiative (means) everyone's in it for a great cause. I think the mood at the concert will be one of joy, and of: 'We're all in this together.' "

Officials also planning night safari at Vandalur zoo
CHENNAI: Creation of an exclusive Butterfly Park, like the one in Kuala Lumpur, at a world heritage site near Chennai and a night safari as in Singapore at Arignar Anna Zoological Park, Vandalur, are some of the projects the Toursim department plans to take up soon.
A five-member team headed by Toursim Secretary V. Irai Anbu had recently gone on a week-long exploratory visit to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur after a Tamil Nadu Tourism road show in both the countries.
The team members had "result-oriented discussions" with the Singapore Tourism Board and Tourism Malaysia authorities, said an official.
The source told The Hindu on Friday that a road show was organised to woo tourists from Singapore to lesser-known destinations in Tamil Nadu. "We examined in detail the facilities available at the Night Safari in Singapore and how the 40-minute exciting journey has been made tourist-friendly," explained the sources.
The Vandalur Zoo Director and the PWD official then followed it up with detail discussions on the technical aspects at the Singapore facility.
Road show
Tour operators, travel trade and local media were invited for the road show that showcased the latest tourist attractions in Tamil Nadu. The team also visited the Jurong Bird Park.
From Singapore, the delegation flew to Kuala Lumpur where similar road show was held and visited the Butterfly Park in Kuala Lumpur to create similar attraction near Chennai.
The Tourism Malaysia authorities were receptive to the road show conducted by the Tamil Nadu Tourism authorities since 2007 had been declared by the Malaysian Government as the "Visit Tourism Year."

Celina Men WIN their division at the Rotary Invitational!
August 25, 2014By Daniel Otten of Celina High School
Celina Rotary Invitational
Saturday morning, August 23, the Cellina Cross-Country Team hosted the Annual Celina Rotary Invitational, on the grounds of the Wright State University Lake Campus. Nineteen schools converged on the shore of Grand Lake to traverse the 5000 meter course. Rolling hills, soft soggy to muddy conditions, high humidity, and warm temperatures, along with a sunny sky greeted the 700 plus harriers, making for a tough, early season competition.
The morning began with the high school girls race. Although all 19 schools competed in the race, the team results were split into two divisions. The 'Green' Division consisted of the nine biggest schools, while the 'White' Division had the 10 smallest schools. The Celina Girls, season opening, Mercer County Meet schedule for August 19 was postponed due to lightening. To make up the meet the Ladies combined their county meet with the Rotary Inv, as all six county schools competed on Saturday. The Runnin' Women opened their season on a good note. They finished 2nd in both the Rotary Invitational 'Green' Division, and in the Mercer County Results. Leading the way was Lauren McDonough who was 5th overall of the 206 ladies who crossed te finished line. Megan Muhlenkamp was next for the Ladies, taking 18th place. Jenna Coon was 26th, Nicole Bowsher 32nd, and Ashley Robinson 47th to complete the scoring five. New Haven won the 'Green' Division with 43 points. Celina was second with 71, five ahead of of third place Findlay. In the Mercer County standings Coldwater was first tallying 32, to Celina runner-up total of 47. Earning 'All Mercer County' accolades by finishing in the top 10 were Lauren (2nd), Megan (5th), and Jenna Coon (9th).
The Guys took the course after the Ladies. As with the girls, 19 schools competed. Led by Drew Donovan's 12 place of the 191 finishers, Celina's Men WON their 'Green' Division. The Green and White edged runner-up New haven by one point, 45-46. Joining Drew in the scoring five were Roman Mitchell (17th), Chad Downey (23rd), Michael Cron (24th) and Stetson Miller (29th).
COMPLETE RESULTS may be found in the 'Document' Section. Race results include overall 'Combined' results, 'Divisional' results, and for the girls...Mercer County results.

The t-test is a statistical test of whether two sample means (averages) or proportions are equal. It was invented by William Sealy Gosset, who wrote under the pseudonym "student" to avoid detection by his employer (the Guinness Brewing Company). Guinness prohibited publications by employees, because another employee had divulged trade secrets in writing.
There are also one-sample versions of a the t-test, to tell if a sample has a mean equal to some fixed value, but these are relatively little used.
When to use a t-test
A t-test can be used to compare two means or proportions. The t-test is appropriate when all you want to do is to compare means, and when its assumptions are met (see below). In addition, a t-test is only appropriate when the mean is an appropriate when the means (or proportions) are good measures. See my earlier article for guidance on when to use the mean.
Matched and unmatched t-tests
There are two forms of the t-test. In the unmatched t-test, or independent t-test, it is assumed that the two samples are independent. In non-technical language, two samples are independent when knowing something about one does not affect what we know abou the other. For example, the average heights of men and women, drawn randomly from a population, are independent, since knowing the height of a particular man tells us nothing about the height of any particular woman. In a matched t-test, the two sample are not independent; for example, the heights of husbands and wives are not independent, since taller men may be married to taller women. More obviously, the length of people's right and left feet are dependent, because knowing the size of a right foot tells us a lot about the size of the left foot.
Assumptions of the t-test
As noted above, the independent samples t-test assumes the two samples are independent. In addition, both forms of the t-test assume that the variances of the two populations are equal. There are good ways to adjust for unequal variances, provided that the sample sizes of the two
samples are approximately equal. However, if the variances are very different and the sample sizes are different, then the t-test is not a good measure. In addition, as noted above, the t-test only makes sense when the mean makes sense.
If not the t-test, then what?
If the t-test is not appropriate, then one alternative is a nonparametric test, such as Wilcoxon's test. Another alternative is a permutation test, or a bootstrap. In my opinion, all three alternatives ought to be used more often.
The t-test in SAS
Suppose one wishes to test if men are heavier than women in a given population. If you sample 5 men and 5 women at random, you might get something like this:
Men: 140 180 188 210 190
Women: 120 190 129 120 130
You could read that into SAS® using
data ttest;
input sex $ weight @@;
and then run a t-test by using
proc ttest data = ttest;
class sex;
var weight;
The t-test in R
In R, one could read the same data in using
sex <- c(rep('M', 5), rep('F', 5))
weight <- c(140, 180, 188, 210, 190, 120, 190, 129, 120, 130)
and then run a t-test using
The output looks like
Welch Two Sample t-test
data: weight by sex
t = -2.4982, df = 7.851, p-value = 0.03758
alternative hypothesis: true difference in means is not equal to 0
95 percent confidence interval:
-84.364290 -3.235710
sample estimates:
mean in group F mean in group M
137.8 181.6
Which is terser than the SAS output, but says essentially the same thing. However, by default, R uses the Welch t-test, which does not assume the variances are equal. To get the test with the assumption, you would use
t.test(weight~sex, var.equal = T)

I have been studying Quality of life and Subjective Well-Being in Male and Females subjects (90 + 90 = 180 subjects) in three BMI-Groups of Obesity (30+30+30 for each gender: Total 6 Groups). I wish to compare scores on QOL and SWB, and also study interaction and correlation. I think ANNOVA is the best. Can I use regression or any scope for T-test? Which is the most appopriate of the three? Thanks.

In the example above, can you express the difference of the means – 137.8 and 181.6 – as "43.8% difference in mean"? Does such a difference in % of the means hold any meaning?

Hi Peter, I've been getting confused about when to use the t-test/ alternative methods if the sample sizes are large. Some resources say you can use the t-test when n>30 as a rule of thumb (by the CLT) but I know that some population distributions need much higher n for the sampling distribution of the mean to be approximately normal. So my thoughts are that you should only use the t-test if the population is known as normal or if the sample data looks normal, for any n. What do you recommend? Thanks!

Hi, I am doing a research project on changing dynamics of talent acquisition in which I tend to compare both recruitment ways i.e: E-Recruitment and the traditional one. and on the basis of this comparison I will be analysing which one is the better recruitment process. can you please suggest me a test that I could run to get the appropriate result?

Good Afternoon Sir,
One of the objectives of my study is to compare between fraud and non-fraud companies and I have 20 variables. Sample size is 100 (50 fraud and 50 non-fraud). Can I use Independent sample T test? I have a doubt because my sample size is more than 30.
If yes, then how should I justify (since, its more than 30)
If no, Then what other test I can use ( in SPSS) to compare the samples?

I wanted to see if grammar instruction would improve student writing. I had my students write a paper (pretest), then introduced three grammar lessons and then had them write on the same prompt again. Almost every student improved his or her paper.
What type of t-test do I do to compare these scores?

Hi, I'm a medical student writing a theoretical research proposal and am baffled by the statistics – any help would be gratefully received! If I were doing a double blind randomized control trial looking into the differences in QoL measures and disease progression in a condition after intervention – would that require a t-test and ANOVA to assess whether there was any statistical difference between control and treatment group and then a regression analysis to test causal relationship? If you could explain what test I could use for a regression analysis that would be super? And would it be advisable to perform a pearson X2 test too? Many Thanks, Hannah

If I wanted to us a T-test to compare foot lengths of a sample of asian vs european populations, do I have to specifically analyze right vs right feet and left vs left feet? or can I just lump all the asian measurements together in a group vs the european measurements. I ask because the right and left measures are not independent though the comparator populations (asian vs european) are. Should I just use the Mann-Whitney instead?

If I want to compare asian vs european femoral length. Do I have to compare the left and right femurs separately or can I just lump all the asian measurements together vs the european ones.The lengths of the left and right femurs are not independent of each other but the study samples (asian vs european) are. Should I just do a Mann-Whitney instead?

I expect the answer at the end of my question to be either yes, no or maybe.
I know that when discussing a sample's 95% confidence interval "they" indicate that this range describes the region that you would expect to find the true population mean to be located within, 95% of the time.
A sample's 95% confidence interval, therefore has no bearing on where you would expect to find 95% of the population data.
I am trying to describe the plus 3 sigma and minus 3 sigma limits of a larger population using a limited sample size of 10 (degrees of freedom = 9).
First, from a z-chart plus and minus 3 sigma represents ~99.74%, so I am interested in having my upper and lower limits represent this population percentage. With a full population of information this would be,
mean ± 3 * σ.
I believe the t-chart provides the ability to describe statements about the population given a small sample size.
If we graph the Student's t-test versus sample size, n, for 99.74% we get the following:
Where =tinv(1-.9974,n-1), using Excel
is plotted versus n.
(Clearly I could not paste the graph, but for small sample sizes: 5, 6 and 7, the tinv function is greater than four, but for large sample sizes, t is asymptotic to three.)
Here 5 is the first sample size point plotted with t(5) = 6.688.
A sample size of 10 produces t(10) = 4.119.
Therefore, with the caveat of saying, "If the sample mean is representative of the population mean and if the sample standard deviation is slightly smaller than a larger sample would indicate, then, I feel comfortable indicating that for a sample size of 10, we would expect that to find 6 sigma of the population to be bounded by,
sample mean ± 4.119 * sample standard deviation.
Is this close to the truth?

Great information! Which would be best for the following. Sample size 42. Team leaders complete one questionnaire. Will measure them according to one of three leadership styles. All team leaders and team members complete another questionnaire to determine team effectiveness. All team leaders and team members are in the same team. I want to compare the results ofaq each leadership style to team effectiveness to see which best correlates. Thanks.

How to Knit On a Rectangular Loom
So, you decided do try a new kind of knitting? This article will guide you through it all!
1Tie the yarn to the tiny peg on the side. (It doesn't matter which side.)Ad
2Start wrapping the yarn around the big pegs in a cursive "e" pattern.
3Keep on wrapping until it is the desired length.
4Wrap around the looms again so that there are two loops on each peg. (Just start wrapping where you left off.)
5Take your purple hook that was included with the nifty Knitter Loom. Using the hook, start at the first peg and lift the bottom loop over the top loop and off the peg.
6Repeat this with all the pegs on both sides of the nifty Knitter. When you finish this, wrap the yarn around the pegs once and lift the bottom loop off.
7Repeat wrapping and lifting off until the project is long enough.Ad
We could really use your help!

Dream Team - your thoughts?
Compass posted...
Whoa. Quadruple-post fanboy retaliation. You know you're reaching when half your justification is, "Past games had the same problem!"
Here's my reaction: Are the tutorials bad? Yeah. But you have to have no attention span whatsoever for it to come close to killing the experience. (Though, they can kill the beginning.)
The tutorials weren't really that bothersome after the first boss...
E means "Everyone", not "Eleven and under". Agrees: 70
I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior, and am proud of it.
I'm not going to compare then to previous games because I have only play BiS plus I feel that is unfair. People like to hold games up to some previous standard and I like to judge games based it the game itself and not to relation to others. That being said I loved Dream Team. A fantastic game where I put about 60 hours into it.

It's not about attention span, it's about wanting to discover things myself and not be treated like a 5 year-old. The game should not be stopping me in my tracks and solving puzzles for me, which it quite literally does.
BEEF! The game needs more BEEF!

Yep, like everybody says (except for the occasional fanboy who will defend anything) the tutorials were ridiculous. I made it 15 hours or so in, but they sapped any desire I might have had to eventually return and finish it.
Actually, the problem with Sticker Star was that it withheld more obscure thought processes necessary to beat the game, as well as the lack of lenience with the Things and the lack of a substantial story. I mean, the game really didn't have the time to just come out and say "some stronger enemies may have weaknesses related to the environment, so investigate carefully"? What could possibly go wrong if that sentence was uttered even once in Sticker Star? Similarly, what could possibly go wrong if Things were more lenient in usage, like having Thing Points or paying a coin fee to instantly regenerate them after usage? Nothing.
(On-topic) The only time tutorials were extraneous in this game was when they repeated the badge tutorial for no reason- that was truly overkill. Everything else, they explain JUST ONCE, the very first time a new ability is used, purely to demonstrate how it's used, and then the game leaves you alone on that particular matter after that. However, having typed this, I can understand how it could get irritating, and how odd it is that even basic stuff like jumping got a tutorial now that I reread TC's post.
I liked how they kept the gameplay from the previous games, yet also introduced a second battle type that feels similar to it, instead of overhauling everything for no reason at all. The story, while some padding happens, exists, and something is happening in every location, new characters are met, moments are had, and field manuevers are made.
However, Antasma was overshadowed and didn't really get a chance to shine. While I get the point of why the following sentence happened in the greater scheme of things, it still annoys me how
The giant fights...I want to like them, and some were cool, but the Gyroscope screwing up randomly during the final battle sort of soured the experience for me. So I agree with TC on that.

Busta Rhymes ft. Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Q-Tip - Thank You
Artist: Busta Rhymes
Featuring: Q-Tip, Kanye West, Lil Wayne
Producer: Busta Rhymes
Album: ELE2
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 22 votes )
Counted your blessings lately? Yeah, me neither. If you need a little help coming up with sh*t to be grateful for, you can start by saying, "Thank You," for Busta Rhymes's latest single. In a stark departure from the club-ready style of recent features Twerk It and Shake It, this cut has a funky throwback feel. Buss-a-Buss himself mans the mixing boards, transforming disco diva Alicia Meyers's 1981 classic, I Wanna Thank You, into a upbeat backdrop for his own suave, self-assured bars. YMCMB label boss Lil Wayne and Tribe Called Quest vet Q-Tip contribute brisk guest bars to the cut, which also features ad-libs from Kanye West. Has this star-studded collaboration gotten you hype for Busta's next LP? Then watch our pages for the latest on ELE2, which has yet to receive a solid drop date.

Challenging and Rewarding
This is easily the most challenging fun I've had for a long long time. The levels are mostly quite short but very rewarding and the gameplay is very addicive especially because of the fast load times and almost non existent respawn times.
This is a game that makes me want to strive for 100%. The last game I 100%'ed was Aquaria, which is an equally awesome game for different reasons. It is a perfect game for completionists.
There are a lot more achievements on the steam version than XBLA. In fact, the extra ones on Steam make it practically impossible to get S rank whereas XBLA is relatively easy. The achievements for steam involve completing every light and dark world chapters without dying. For the first world, this is an easy achievement but for anything past world 3 it's something for the truly hardcore. It's something I don't even want to attempt :p
Most of the levels are so short that it feels ok to die, unlike other games where you die and you have to re-do a whole section again. The warp zones are really the only "unforgiving" levels in SMB, and they still give you 3 lives per level so it's actually not that bad. The good news is that you can choose to skip them and play other levels if you want, unlike some other games that require you to play through a certain punishing section in order to progress.
I think the controls for SMB are the best I've experienced from any game in my life. He does exactly what I want, when I want. Every time I successfully clear a obstacle, I know it's because of my ability to control the character rather than blaming it on "sloppy controls". It's true though that some games with sloppy controls actually create a certain type of gameplay that revolves around the sloppiness, which is a challenge in itself and actually can be fun. But SMB is not one of them :)
The characters offer a nice variety in gameplay, most of the initial characters make certain levels easier to complete, and most of the late-game characters have abilities that can actually compete in the top of the leaderboards. For the majority of levels, Meat Boy is the ideal character but there are some levels where Naija, RunMan, Captain Viridian, Flywrench and The Kid really shine and achieve impossible times. They are all fun in their own way.
I personally did not find Steve (Mr Minecraft) and Meat Ninja to be particularly fun at all. Firstly because they don't have any leaderboard times to beat, which removes any kind of "goal" to work towards and secondly because Steve is a cheater and it really isn't that fun :p Meat Ninja does look pretty fun though, too bad mastering his ability isn't "worth" it.
I still haven't mentioned the awesome level design! Team Meat have done a extremely good job designing these 300+ levels, none of them feel too samey and all of them offer some kind of challenge (except the initial ones of course, they can be excused for being tutorial-levels :p).
There are many retro-references that made me laugh out loud and the overall polished controls, level design, art and music makes an all round perfect package.
The only downside, for the PC version, is that I have experienced quite a lot of crashes during the load screens. I am pretty sure they are being fixed. But in my opinion this is not annoying enough to take away any stars from my rating.
Super Meat Boy is definitely going to be one of my "classics" in the future that I will come back to enjoy again. It's life still hasn't even ended, especially when the level editor comes next month to extend it's lifespan infinitely!

Expansion of partnership to other countries favoured
Collaborative research with other countries mooted
250 cr. earmarked for "innovative research" this year
HYDERABAD: The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has requested the Government to permit the export of defence systems which are not "strategically sensitive", including missiles like 'Akash', 'Nag', tanks, guns and bridges.
Disclosing this on the sidelines of a national seminar on "Emerging trends in manufacturing systems and technology" here on Monday, Prahlada, Chief Controller (R&D), DRDO, told The Hindu that "all defence systems should be allowed to be exported unless they are strategically sensitive."
Referring to the Indo-Russian collaboration in development of missiles, he said DRDO wanted the partnership expanded to other countries, including the UK, US, France, Germany and Israel for "all tactical missiles" such as air-to-air/surface-to-air systems. It was looking for collaborative research with several countries for developing technologies and products like the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The other areas include material science, intelligent control systems, aerodynamics for next generation of aircraft and nanotechnology.
He said the DRDO had earmarked Rs.250 crore this year for conducting "innovative research."
Key trend
Delivering the keynote address, Dr. Prahlada said trade and investment barriers were disappearing and national economies were merging with inter-dependent global economy. In his inaugural address, Finance Minister K. Rosaiah said that after the initiation of liberalisation in 1991, the period from April to December 2006 witnessed one of the highest industrial growth rates.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
Gordon Getty has based his opera on Edgar Allan Poe's macabre work "The Fall of the House of Usher," the novel widely considered Poe's most famous work of prose and a masterpiece of American Gothic literature. Getty's music, while accessible, reflects these Gothic themes twofold in his unsettling, tense score. This is a world premiere recording.
American Record Guide, November/December 2013
The performance, recorded in Lisbon, is quite good. German tenor Elsner sings excellent English and takes advantage of the few opportunities to let his voice ring out. Dupuis's high baritone is a pleasure to hear, and his words are always clear. Ens's mellow bass is just right for the sinister doctor. Pentatone's sound is excellent. A libretto is supplied.

CYPRESS, Texas -- She s a little girl from Cypress who made a big impression. Six-year-old Macie Dammeyer says she has been a Texans fan as far back as she can remember.
Macie has a special spot in her heart for Arian Foster.
He s the best player on the team, she said.
So when Foster left early during the team s loss to the Minnesota Vikings with an irregular heartbeat, she took notice.
She kept asking why he wasn t playing, so I explained to her, his heart is racing or his heart was going too fast, explained Macie s father, Brian Dammeyer. When she heard heart she got real worried and she said I'm going to make him a card.
Macie says she immediately pulled out some markers and a piece of paper.
I felt sad, so I wrote the note, said Macie.
Macie and her father never expected the attention that would come with it. Dad posted a photo of the message on Twitter, and it began circulating the cyber world.
Foster retweeted it and even made it his profile photo.
I just couldn t believe it, said Brian Dammeyer. She wrote a card sitting at our kitchen table. It was just crazy. Normally that was something we d put on the refrigerator, and now it s all over the world.
Arian Foster has since returned to practice in preparation for Sunday s showdown against the Colts.
Foster describes being touched by what Macie wrote.
It just lets you know that there are people that care about you aside from how many yards you put up, said Foster.
Foster said the heartfelt message overshadowed some of the negativity surrounding the health scare.
You see something like that, and it's very genuine and it's very sincere, said Foster. She didn't have anything to gain. She was just a genuine little kid.
Macie says she has a feeling her friends are going to be talking about her new bond with number 23 when she returns to school from Christmas break.
I think they re gonna be really jealous, and they re gonna go home and try to write a note to somebody else, she said.

Seahawks' Baldwin: 'It's a violent game'
Seahawks offensive and defensive players talk about how rules affect the game
Elaine Thompson / Associated Press
Cardinals cornerback Jerraud Powers breaks up a pass intended for Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin in a game between Seattle and Arizona played at CenturyLink Field last month.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Seahawks strong safety Kam Chancellor (31) levels Rams punt returner Isaiah Pead in last Sunday's game.
The NFL has restricted blows to the head, and several Seahawks see it as inevitable that the lower leg soon will be off limits also. The increased emphasis on physical protection has left defenders feeling under siege, while offensive players feel no safer.
But through it all, Seahawks defenders found a way to flourish, allowing the fewest points and yards per game in the NFL while grabbing the most interceptions.
"We know our backs are against the wall, and the rules are never going to be in our favor as defenders," safety Earl Thomas said. "So you just try to not think about anything like that, and just try to play fast and hopefully you're in the right spot at all times."
Try as they might to get it done within the rules, the Seahawks also were the most penalized team over the regular season.
Part of that may come from the size and physicality of the team's secondary. But Thomas believes part of it also comes from reputation.
"Every coach that we play, in pregame is going to warn the refs about us, just because if they let us play our ball nobody's going to get open, just because we're so physical out there," he said. "... Coaches are aware of that and how physical we are and how hard it is for receivers to get open against that."
"Legion of Boom" can be a tough name to carry in an NFL now taking health issues very seriously.
Helmet-first hits to the head and neck are outlawed. The concept of protecting "defenseless players" also has been expanded.
Closer to home, Seahawks owner Paul Allen is funding a two-year, $2.4 million study at the Allen Institute for Brain Science and the University of Washington. Its purpose is to learn more about how blows to the head can damage the brain.
Yet for all that attention, Seahawks receivers say they feel no safer than before.
"To be honest with you, I just think it's a violent game," Doug Baldwin said. "... I can't say it hasn't gone through my head about the impact that the rules have on the players themselves and whether or not (defenders are) going to go low and do what they can to not be penalized."
One high-profile example was the season-ending knee injury New England tight end Rob Gronkowski suffered Dec. 8. Gronkowski caught a 21-yard pass against Cleveland before being hit low by Browns' safety T.J. Ward. Gronkowski's right knee bucked, and he stayed down until carted off of the field.
"I don't think that the guy intentionally went low for the guy's knee, probably," Seattle safety Kam Chancellor said. "Gronkowski's a big guy. A safety sees a big guy running at him: Cut low."
Regardless of intent on that particular play, Seahawks tight end Zach Miller has noticed more low tackles this season. And it's a tradeoff he does not want.
"I think it's good that they're trying to protect the head, but if they're doing it at the cost of your knees, I don't like that one bit," he said. "... The knees should be off limits. If they need to take away some of the limitations on the head hits, I'd rather be hit in the head and have a concussion than blow out my knee and be out for an entire year."
Miller goes on to suggest a sort of legal hit "strike zone," below the head but above the knees.
He also volunteered an acknowledgement that could make life difficult for defensive players. But for their part, Seahawks defenders already have come to terms with a belief that additional restrictions on boom are ahead.
"It's going to become like a flag football type, or rugby," Thomas said. "They're trying to take everything out of it as far as defenders. But I hope the fans don't get tired of it and stop watching. Maybe that would catch the commissioner's eyes. But that's not my place. I just want to keep tackling; that's it."
Chancellor doesn't think it will come to that.
"It will still be the same game," he said. "You just gotta do it the right way. You've got to adapt to change. It's a new year. Change happens every year. You've just got to adapt, that's all."

Wilmington Expected to Experience Job Growth--Primarily in Low-Income Industries
Business owners in Southeastern North Carolina are more optimistic than they've been since pre-recessionary times—and many plan on doing some hiring. This is according to PNC Bank's annual spring outlook survey. Yesterday, their economist presented survey findings on the financial state of the nation, the state—and of Wilmington. And the Port City is considered an area of major growth—yet in terms of residents' income, it still lags behind state and national averages.
Wilmington's real estate values should see major improvement this year, and area job growth is expected to gain two percentage points, thanks to the Port City's ever-expanding leisure, hospitality and health care industries. Economist Mekael Teshome attributes this boon to the low cost of doing business locally, but cautions against the dangers of growth that's limited to low-wage industries. In fact, Teshome says generating more income should be policymakers' key priority—especially considering Wilmington's fast-growing population.
"When you do have low-wage workers, as the city gets larger, they have to move further and further out from the city. Accessing affordable housing is going to be a major challenge--if income doesn't keep up. It also means tax revenues will be pressured. We do have to keep up with infrastructure requirements for a large population, but if income is still low, the tax revenues may not be there to provide adequate infrastructure."
To build upon higher-paying industries, Teshome says Wilmington would be wise to rely more on its ports, as maritime trade is an advantage that's unique to the Cape Fear region. While attracting high-tech industry would also help, Teshome points out that every metropolitan market across the nation is using strategy.

So a few days ago I get an email from Lyriciss asking me to check out his new track featuring Ray-J. I won't front, my heart stopped for a moment. Could one of hip-hop's most integral emcees really have recruited Brandy's brother for a radio ready single? Fear not my fellow hip-hop heads, the inclusion of Mr. J on Stop Scheming (making its world premiere right now!) is purely for illustrative effect. Instead of a polished radio jam we get a lightly piano laced beat from fellow DMVer J-Scrilla and Chop-La-Rok that unwinds slowly like cigar smoke. It's the perfect outline for Lyriciss to fill in with storytelling flows that cover – what else? – the various people he's caught scheming on him, from not-so-gangster rappers to thirsty women: "Force me to play Gambit, I'm pullin your card / just focus on being you, and whatever you do, stop schemin." If the world has stopped its devious ways by the time Lyriciss' upcoming project, The Balance: Respect EP, drops via The DJBooth on November 7 then we'll know Lyriciss truly has the power to turn word into action.

Please help my sub menu has stopped working and I have re installed the theme with no luck. I have tried other themes and the sub menus still work fine so I can only think it is this theme any ideas on what could be the problem ?http://nrmregionsaustralia.com.au/nrm/
i have the same problem. my sub menu and slider has stopped working. i see the live preview http://themeforest.net/item/foundation-wordpress-theme/full_screen_preview/1960996 dosn´t work either. so I'm sure it's the theme.
please help me. thanks www.as-im-aermel.de
It seems there is an issue with the slider. I see a couple others have brought this up. The console is showing that:
TypeError: $.browser is undefined
From what I've seen, it looks like $.broswer has been deprecated from the current jQuery library. After adding an additional .js file to re-implement $.browser, I begin seeing:
TypeError: o is not a function
On line 12 of jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js. This error is written to the console each time the slide would change.
I haven't looked into this further, but it appears the theme requires an update to be compliant with the latest jQuery it is pulling from googleapis.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks! pulpnwire
As a follow up – I downloaded the latest jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js, replaced the version in the /js folder and added jquery.browser.js to take care of the missing $.browser function and it seems to be working now.
jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js can be found at: http://code.google.com/p/forcdn/downloads/detail?name=jquery.nivo.slider.pack.js&can=2&q=
jquery.browser.js can be found at: https://github.com/scien/jquery.browser
For those having this issue:
1. Download the two files
2. Upload to your theme folder /js/ folder
3. Then just add the jquery.browser.js just after (jquery needs to be called first) wp_head() in the header file via the following line of code to header.php:
- extra js to help slider ->
Hope this helps!
Thanks pulpnwire
cant seem to get it to work
Try dropping it down onto the next line, so that the call to the .js file is below the line with wp_head(). It might not like them on the same line.
Hrm, unfortunately not. Those were the steps that worked for me. You could verify that the .js reference is valid by clicking it's link in the view source.
Also, check your console to ensure you're not getting any other javascript warnings. I had another plugin that was erroring out because of the deprecation of other functions in the latest jQuery library, which this theme calls from googleapis.
Otherwise, without knowing more, you're probably going to have to wait until Themico chimes in with an update
I am not having any luck
I am putting the
and it does not display the page only the background.
I need a fix ASAP any suggestions?
Is there an update to do ?

Erreur : TypeError: $.browser is undefined
Fichier Source : http://lejardindhiver.org/wp-content/themes/foundation-theme/js/main.js?ver=3.4.2
Ligne : 21
Thank you very much ! Fast and efficient.
Wait please, this was wrong, read that comment again.
Ok, but the first coment solve the problem in the website
Maybe, if you not use the NivoSlider.
Ok thanks
As theme automatically add the latest version of jQuery, which now is 1.9, you all have a JS error. Reason for that is that in 1.9 version "$.browser" function is deprecated. So, this is the easiest fix – open function.php and comment this lines (put // before it):
wp_register_script('jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js');
wp_register_script(get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/jquery-1.6.2.min.js', 'jquery', '1.6.2', TRUE);
Step 2 – open main.js and replace the very first line with this:
We will update the theme right now.
Sorry for the inconvenience, thank you!
Dear Author, I have same problem with drop-down menu, and have done everything as to "IMPORTANT NOTICE" in function.php and main.js. But still drop-down menu is not working correct:
1. In previous version it was arrows like ">" for sub-levels available.
2. Before it was some fade effect on menu drop-down-list opening.
3. Now all sub-levels come visible all-at-once.
4. Top side of background, over the header (over the slider) become a white color.
5. Drag-to-Share not working anymore.
Please check the link http://dpdei.com.ua/
at this moment the problem is that no jQuery file included on your page. We need to do a research on this subject before we know what is the problem – for some people the fix in the notice work, and for others it didn't.
As a temporary solution I can offer you to open header.php and manually add this line just before wp_head() function:
<script src="http://dpdei.com.ua/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
This will add jQuery and I'm sure everything will back to normal.
Thank you!
When I updated wordpress to most recent update, my menu subpages no longer show. If I hover over a menu item with a subpage attached to it, it no longer shows. Please help!
I'm having the same problem as alexillusha! Thanks again guys!
sorry to hear that, did you tried the fix in the notice? Because we already uploaded the update, but it is not available yet as it is take some time before it will be reviewed.
Please, try to fix the files as described here. If this not help, then you can try a solution I recommended to alexillusha, only fix the URL with yours.
Thank you!

Does this help?
Thank you!
Aaaaalright…. works great! My navigation even works properly now. Thanks for the help. Great theme!
Hi there, I updated the theme this morning, and my slider will not rotate at all.http://premierfitnesskc.com
can you please do next – open functions.php and find this line:
wp_localize_script('jquery', 'js_config', $vars);
replace it with this code:
wp_localize_script('nivo-slider', 'js_config', $vars);
Please, let me know if it solve the problem – this is important.
Thank you!
I'll try it
That didn't seem to do anything
Ok, now the last thing, I think we found the problem and it will work. In the same file (funcitons.php) comment or remove this line:

Off with Your Head Terms: Leveraging Long-Tail Opportunity with ContentBlog Post: April 08, 2015
Such a great post! You shared so many awesome tools and the logic behind each is brilliant! And I'm always amazed by the Domain Comparison Tool - it's great for showing the need/opportunity.
My favorite part: "An approach reminiscent of the way traditional marketing has worked for decades—before the web even existed… that means understanding the audience you are attempting to capture and, in doing so, outlining the key questions they are asking every day." Know your customers… it's sad how many brands have forgotten this, the most basic prerequisite of good marketing.
I also like that you brought up talking with current customers & coworkers. I find that the customer service, field reps, and sales teams are the best to talk with since they take and answer questions all day everyday… questions that may not be anywhere on the brand's website yet. Strategically represented on the brand's website, those offline conversations can be huge for organic search growth.
As I was reading the part about Content Flow, I thought "oh, this reminds me of that one Moz post about the music of content flow" (one of my favorite & most frequently referenced content-focused posts on here) - then I clicked through & realized that post was yours as well. Ha! Keep these posts coming!

An alert of very heavy rainfall was issued by the Indian Meteorological Department's (IMD) regional centre on Tuesday, within the next 24 hours.
Civic officials, however, said that they are well-prepared to handle the usual rain-related problems. "Flooding might take place at certain low-lying areas in the city. However, apart from the chronic flooding spots, water-logging should not occur at other places, since there will be pumps ready to draw excess water," said a civic official.
As per the report from the disaster management unit of the BMC, high tide of 3.82 metres has been predicted between 1:43am and 7:24am on Wednesday
According to IMD records, in the 24-hour period till today, from 8.30am yesterday, Santa Cruz recorded 48.3 mm rainfall and Colaba had 26.6 mm. Despite that, the city remained relatively hassle-free in terms of traffic congestion and water-logging.
Raj Kumar Sharma, an activist, said that apart from the low-lying areas, his area didn't have many flood-related complaints. "The problem of low-lying areas is a long-term issue. Apart from that, there
weren't many problems in Chembur because of the rains," he said.
However, residents of Dadar and Shivaji Park complained that the civic body hadn't trimmed trees in their area. "With heavy showers and strong wind everyday, we are scared we may lose even more
trees. There are several trees in our area, which have not been trimmed by the BMC yet," said Nikhil Desai, an activist.
