How survey design affects self-assessed health responses in the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE)
This paper considers the role of question order and framing in evaluating subjective health assessment responses using the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) dataset. In the first wave of this dataset respondents were twice asked to evaluate their health on a five-point scale, using two different sets of descriptors to define the five points, with the ordering of which set was first administered determined randomly. We document differences in inference in comparing those that were asked one question first versus those that were asked the other. We then consider determinants of the degree of concordance in responses to the two questions, as well as the characteristics of individuals that provide conflicting responses. Consistent with previous research for England (Bowling and Windsor, 2008. Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health 62, 81–85), there is evidence for eleven countries in Europe that individuals' assessments of their health in response to the second question may be influenced by the battery of health questions that were asked following the first assessment.

Titanic survivors Richard Williams and Karl Behr

Even the ATP has an article. Apparently a "Tennis and the Titanic" exhibit has opened at Newport.
Tennis & The Titanic
Newport, U.S.A.
by Press Release | 12.04.2012
Like many of the R.M.S. Titanic's approximately 2,200 passengers, Americans Karl Howell Behr and Richard Norris Williams II climbed aboard the ill-fated ship in search of their dreams. Behr was chasing love, and Williams striving for an Ivy League education and a successful tennis career.
When the grand, "unsinkable" ship struck an iceberg late on April 14, 1912, the two were among the small, fortunate group of just 700 or so survivors.
After meeting for the first time aboard the rescue ship R.M.S. Carpathia, neither man took their good fortune for granted, and they achieved great success as two of the best players in the history of tennis.
Williams remarkably won the U.S. Nationals Mixed Doubles title just months after the Titanic disaster, and went on to capture several other major titles, and he was honoured for his achievements with Hall of Fame induction in 1957.
Behr, who was already an established player before the ship's voyage, was ranked within the Top 5 in the nation, and was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1969.
As the world commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Titanic disaster, the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum in Newport, R.I. will pay tribute to these two remarkable survivors with a special exhibit in their honour, opening next week.
Tennis and the Titanic will officially open at the museum on Thursday, 12 April with an exhibit opening at 5 p.m., a discussion with Behr and Williams' family members at 6 p.m., and a special film screening of A Night to Remember, a 1958 film that chronicles the sinking, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The exhibit opening is open to the public, refreshments will be served, and reservations are recommended. Admission is free for Hall of Fame Members and $12 for Non-Members. Reservations may be made on tennisfame.com or by calling 401-324-4074 or emailing
"This has been a fascinating exhibit to develop. Our goal was to shed light on the interesting lives of two remarkable men who survived one of the most infamous catastrophes in modern history, but were able to go on to have elite careers as athletes and success in other areas of life," said Doug Stark, museum director at the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum. "We are grateful to the Behr and Williams families for their support in developing this exhibit. We look forward to welcoming them to the exhibit opening, which will offer a unique opportunity to hear more about Titanic survivors and Hall of Fame tennis players Richard Norris Williams II and Karl Howell Behr from the people who knew them best."
Tennis and the Titanic will feature dynamic imagery and narratives detailing Williams' and Behr's lives before, during, and after the ship's sinking. In addition, it will feature various personal mementos as well as artefacts from their tennis careers. Highlights of the exhibit include personal letters that were in the pocket of Williams' fur coat when he jumped overboard and rare photos of the two tennis greats together.
Tennis memorabilia featured includes Williams 1914 U.S. Nationals Men's Singles Championship trophy, which he won at Newport, where the event was played before moving to New York and becoming the US Open. In addition, his 1920 Wimbledon Men's Doubles Championship trophy and an old-fashion racquet press that he used to carry his gear to tournaments worldwide, will be displayed.
American Richard Norris Williams II had been living in Europe and preparing for a collegiate tennis career at Harvard when he boarded the Titanic with his father. When they felt the collision with the iceberg, they believed there was some trouble but did not imagine the situation to be as dire as it turned out. The pair helped people board lifeboats, and worked out in the gym to pass time and stay warm. When they realized the ship was close to sinking, the men readied themselves to jump in the water. It was, however, too late, and at that moment the four massive funnels came crashing down and one crushed Williams' father.
With no time to mourn his father, Williams jumped into the icy water and clung to a lifeboat for hours in frigid water. After he was saved, Williams realized that he had no feeling in his legs, and when he tried to stand or walk, the pain was unbearable. Doctors aboard Carpathia recommended his legs be amputated. Williams, however, was not willing to give up his dreams for a successful tennis career. To avoid amputation, he spent hours walking the decks to get the feeling back and save his legs.
Williams' perseverance served him well. He went on to play at Harvard, and ultimately achieved a world ranking of No. 4 and a U.S. ranking of No. 1. Remarkably, Williams won the U.S. Nationals Mixed Doubles with Mary Browne just months after the disaster, and later won an Olympic Gold in mixed doubles with Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman. In all, he won a total of six major championships and was a member of five triumphant Davis Cup teams.
In a real life story that could be the basis for a movie, Karl Howell Behr, a dashing, successful businessman and established tennis player claimed it was a business trip to Europe that required him to be on the Titanic's maiden voyage. In reality, he boarded Titanic to follow Helen Newsom, the woman he loved, but whose parents did not approve of him. After the ship struck the iceberg, Helen and her parents were hastily put into one of the first life boats. While the call was for "women and children only," Behr was convinced to climb aboard to help row the boat.
Aside from the survivor's guilt that plagued him all his life, Behr came away unscathed. Once aboard the rescue ship Carpathia, Behr became part of the Survivor Committee, helping to organize and assist the survivors. His role was appreciated by the survivors, and through the catastrophe, he also inadvertently proved himself worthy to Helen's parents; the two were married in March 1913.
Prior to the Titanic disaster, Behr had a thriving tennis career, having been a doubles finalist at Wimbledon and a finalist at the U.S. Nationals, as well as playing on the U.S. Davis Cup. After surviving the ship, he continued to play competitively, achieving a career high ranking of No. 3 in the United States.
Williams' and Behr's first meeting was aboard the Carpathia. Prior to their encounter, Williams was an aspiring tennis player who had closely followed Behr's tennis accomplishments. Two years after the Titanic disaster, in 1914, Williams was en route to his first U.S. National Championship in singles, when he came across a familiar face on the other side of the net at the tournament, which was hosted at the Newport Casino, now home to the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum.
Williams' quarterfinal opponent was Karl Behr, whom he beat in straight sets 6-2, 6-2, 7-5. The men played against each other a few others times in their careers and remained friendly, bound forever by their harrowing experience and their love of the game.
Tennis and the Titanic will be on display for approximately one-year in the Woolard Family Enshrinement Gallery at the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum in Newport, R.I. The International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum is a non-profit organisation dedicated to preserving the history of tennis and honouring its greatest champions and contributors.
Induction to the International Tennis Hall of Fame is based on the sum of one's achievements and accomplishments in tennis and is the highest honour a player or leader in the sport can receive. Since 1955, the International Tennis Hall of Fame has inducted 220 people from 19 countries.
There has also been a novel published detailing the incredible stories of Williams and Behr. Written by Lindsay Gibbs, Titanic: The Tennis Story, the novel was constructed based on extensive historical research in newspapers, magazines and other periodicals, and from historical first-person writings from the era and of survivors. The book is available in print or electronic edition at your local independent bookshop,
, iTunes, Kobo, and elsewhere. It is not currently available in a Kindle edition.

The team love it so much that they put it up on the wall in the office and asked me if he could be the next Penguin of the Week. So, here he is, with his incredible drawing! Soooo colourful! Congrats! :)

Thanks to all of you who sent me a BRILL doodle for last month's theme, Daffo in Space! You guys sent soooo many pics, it was really hard to decide which ones to feature, but here goes...
How epic are they?! Thanks again to everyone who submitted a doodle. Now it's time to announce the next theme... *drum roll*... Daffo's Underwater Adventure! This was a popular suggestion in the last Daffo Doodles post, and I reckon it could be super cool.

It totally depends on the paper you are using. What paper is giving you this problem?
I find that Arches Platine, Rives BFK, Whatman's Watercolor, Somerset Satin and Fabriano Uno all are VERY beefy papers that can stand up to a lot of wet processing without damage.
Cranes platinotype, Socorro, Lenox and Bienfang 360 are a little more flimsy, but can usually be used without too much extra care.
Masa in my experience is at the bottom of the heap when it comes to wet strength. I never even change trays when I print on that paper, and just pour the chemicals in and out so I can avoid touching it, and then float it out of the rinse water directly onto the drying screen.
So, in short, it depends...

STILLWATER, Okla. -- James White shot a 5-under 67 on Tuesday to lead Georgia Tech to a three-stroke lead after the first round of the NCAA men's golf championships.
The No. 4-ranked Yellow Jackets shot a 5-under 283 at Karsten Creek Golf Club. Second-ranked UCLA was next, followed by No. 3 Alabama in third with an even-par 288.
Oklahoma State, which has been ranked No. 1 all season and is playing on its home course, is in eighth, nine strokes off the lead. Defending champion Augusta State sits in ninth.
White birdied five of the first nine holes, including a 35-foot putt on the par-4 No. 5. He also made birdie putts on Nos. 14, 16 and 18. The junior leads Texas A&M's Cameron Peck by one, and Patrick Reed of Augusta State in Georgia and J.J. Spaun of San Diego State are two strokes back at 69.
Georgia Tech coach Bruce Heppler almost pulled his team off the course because of windy conditions during Monday's practice round. Following the strong first day, he was sure glad he left his players alone.
"Oklahoma State quit after 9, and I thought about it," Heppler said. "I thought by playing yesterday, we played as hard as (the course) was ever going to play, and we played really well. I thought playing when it was really hard was a good thing because they knew could still hit good shots."
Tuesday's first round was played with virtually no wind and in nearly perfect conditions, which led to 20 sub-par rounds on the par-72, 7,416-yard layout.
Georgia shot a first-round score of 283 and sits in a tie with Illinois for fifth place overall, eight shots behind Georgia Tech.
Georgia was led by Harris English, who shot a 2-under 70 and is tied for fifth. Hudson Swafford shot a 1-under 71 and is tied for ninth.
Deerfield-Windsor's T. J. Mitchell was 2-over for the day and is tied for 47th overall. Georgia's Russell Henry shot a 4-over 76 and is tied for 75th while Georgia's final player, Bryden MacPhearson finished the day at 10-over and is tied for 143rd.
Tech took the team lead, thanks to White's big day and some solid rounds by Tech's next three golfers who all finished in the top 75 in the field. .
Paul Haley shot a 1-under and is tied for ninth. J.T. Griffin shot a 1-over and came in tied for 34th,

Is there a ZooKeeper method I should call to shutdown a thread? I added a

|Linda Miller
|November 22, 1999
Larry Fisher (born 21 August 1949) is a Canadian who was convicted in 1999 of a murder he committed 30 years earlier.
On 31 January 1969, Gail Miller was raped and murdered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. David Milgaard was first wrongfully convicted of the crime and served 23 years in prison before being released in 1992, and exonerated by DNA evidence in 1997.
Fisher was arrested, 25 July 1997 in Calgary. He was convicted 22 November 1999, and sentenced on 4 January 2000. He was given a life sentence; however, due to applicable laws at the time of the crime, he will be eligible to apply for parole in 10 years, rather than the current 25, after the sentence. On 23 September 2003, the Court of Appeal for Saskatchewan unanimously denied Fisher's appeal of his conviction. Fisher had also served 23 years for numerous rapes in the cities of Winnipeg, Saskatoon, and North Battleford, Saskatchewan.

Every now and then someone gets arrested and their mugshot transcends whatever crimes they may or may not have committed.
Every now and then someone gets arrested and their mugshot transcends whatever crimes they may or may not have committed.
Dude just wanted a fuckin' beefy Gordita.
Forget that other perfectly attired criminal you saw earlier today and feast your eyes on this woman, Deborah Asher, who got arrested for possession of crystal meth while wearing a freaking "I Love Crystal Meth" t-shirt.
Meet Micah Dailey.
Hallandale, Florida resident, Arie Patterson was arrested last Thursday on a suspicion of theft charge.
Greg Oden was arrested early this morning in Lawrence, Ind.
To be fair, she warned him.
The "bad boy" image is a keeper.
Look at that name.
Well, you just freakin' knew Vodka Sam's mugshot would inevitable hit the web, didn't you.
From the "naked cowgirl" who cops say led them on a slow-speed chase in the buff and boots, to a guy who allegedly pulled a gun on a neighbor for farting, these are the dumbest criminals of 2012.
John Caruso had a problem with the way his girlfriend swore like a sailor.
As you may have heard, Randy Travis is the latest in a long line of celebrities to run afoul of the law, resulting in a great celebrity mug shot.
If you have a face tattoo, the odds of you one day being arrested are staggeringly good.

UPDATE: The public visitation for longtime Kansas City Chiefs bandleader Tony DiPardo is scheduled for Tuesday, February 1, from noon to 9 p.m. in the Chicago Ballroom of the Hyatt Regency Hotel (2345 McGee in Kansas City, Mo.).
Original Story (January 27): Longtime Kansas City Chiefs bandleader Tony DiPardo has died, his family told Fox 4.
"Our grandpa passed away this morning at St. Luke's," DiPardo's family said in a statement posted by Fox 4.
"It was very peaceful, surrounded by family and friends. He was a wonderful man, a great grandfather, great husband, great father and he will be missed by all."
The Kansas City Chiefs are saddened by the passing of longtime Chiefs icon and music extraordinaire Tony DiPardo.
"Mr. Music" himself, DiPardo and the TD Pack Band played live music at every Chiefs home game for more than 40 seasons beginning with the team's arrival in Kansas City in '63. Chiefs Founder Lamar Hunt called on DiPardo to lead the club's in-game pep band with the sound of his trumpet. The band had an immediate effect on the gameday pageantry and fan experience at Municipal Stadium that carried over to Arrowhead in '72.
"Like all Chiefs fans, our thoughts and prayers are with Doddie, Patti, Tony Jr., Jimmy and the entire DiPardo family at this difficult time," Chiefs Chairman and CEO Clark Hunt said. "Tony's passion, commitment and dedication to the Chiefs brought joy and excitement to every fan that heard his music at Arrowhead Stadium. He is a treasured part of Chiefs history, and he will be dearly missed."
The trumpet-toting band leader had such a profound impact on the Chiefs franchise that Head Coach Hank Stram personally made sure DiPardo received a championship ring following the Chiefs victory in Super Bowl IV. DiPardo's daughter, Patti DiPardo-Livergood, joined her father in leading the TD Pack Band for 20 seasons and performed the National Anthem at Arrowhead more than 40 times. She is currently part of the Chiefs staff working on gameday production.

I'm a bit of a chain/sprockets nut. Most don't care that much. On long trips out of the country a long lasting chain/sprocket set really helps. One less thing to worry about.
I'm a fan of DID X-ring chains. I just replaced my first DID 525 VM-2 X-ring chain ... it lasted 22,000 miles. One trick I learned to extend chain life is to change out the countershaft sprocket at about 10,000 miles. You hear all kinds of hype around sprockets. As dirt rider (former AMA Enduro racer) I've tried many sprockets, running 5 or 6 bikes you get a chance to see what works. I get the best results from Suzuki sprockets on my DR650. They are cheap and last well. Super hard sprockets are expensive and will EAT UP YOUR NEW CHAIN IN 10,000 MILES ... buyer beware.
If you want to convert to a 520 system, that's fine. A 520 system gives you more sprocket choices. Good if you ride a lot of dirt and need much lower gearing. Only two drawbacks are that a 520 chain will not last as long as a
525. 2nd is that the 520 does not come in a VM quality chain. But DID do make a V Xring chain which quite good ... but in the end won't match the VM-2 525. So make your choice.
I use an inexpensive Chinese chain cutting tool and an RK peening tool to fit the rivet link on the new chain. On trips I bring only a spare master link, no other chain tools. They are that reliable. I also carry TWO spare countershaft sprockets: A stock 15T and a JT 14T (Thailand) for off road where I need slightly lower gearing. But for more serious off road lower gearing is certainly desirable.
I clean with WD40 and use Motorex Synthetic off road chain lube. On the road I use plain 90 wt. gear oil. I carry rags (in zip-lock bags)to clean with the WD40.
While traveling I clean the chain, wheel and swingarm everyday. I've done this for the last 250,000 miles ... works well. Never over oil your chain. Won't help, just makes a mess.

New on-line tool includes features to input contractual adjustment percentages.
Alpharetta, GA (Vocus) January 13, 2010 -- Jackson & Coker has produced for the medical community an enhanced online tool enabling hospital administrators and group practice managers to calculate the revenue contribution of their physician staff in different service lines.
Hospital administrators have been utilizing the Jackson & Coker slide rule style "Physician Return on Investment" calculator for years. This tool was historically used to calculate the revenue generated by a particular physician specialty against the average compensation for that specialty. This new online tool was just released with 2010 data and additional features.
Administrators may link to the calculator:
http://www.jacksoncoker.com/physician-recruitment/resources/physician-roi-calculator.aspx?speciality=Select%20One or access directly from the www.jacksoncoker.com website.
As Sandy Garrett, President, Jackson & Coker, explained, "These new features allow hospital CEOs and administrators to input their own contractual adjustment percentages and immediately view the customized contribution results for their particular facility. Additionally, as a q
