Following the highly successful [authorised opinion!, from objective sources] MCMski IV, in Chamonix last year, the BayesComp section of ISBA has decided in favour of a two-year period, which means the great item of news that next year we will meet again for MCMski V [or MCMskv for short], this time on the snowy slopes of the Swiss town of Lenzerheide, south of Zürich. The committees are headed by the indefatigable Antonietta Mira and Mark Girolami. The plenary speakers have already been contacted and Steve Scott (Google), Steve Fienberg (CMU), David Dunson (Duke), Krys Latuszynski (Warwick), and Tony Lelièvre (Mines, Paris), have agreed to talk. Similarly, the nine invited sessions have been selected and will include Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, Algorithms for Intractable Problems (ABC included!), Theory of (Ultra)High-Dimensional Bayesian Computation, Bayesian NonParametrics, Bayesian Econometrics, Quasi Monte Carlo, Statistics of Deep Learning, Uncertainty Quantification in Mathematical Models, and Biostatistics. There will be afternoon tutorials, including a practical session from the Stan team, tutorials for which call is open, poster sessions, a conference dinner at which we will be entertained by the unstoppable Imposteriors. The Richard Tweedie ski race is back as well, with a pair of Blossom skis for the winner!

Robert's paradox [reading in Reading]Posted in Statistics, Travel, University life with tags BayesComp, biking, Chib's approximation, doubly intractable problems, exchange algorithm, exchangeability, John Deely, label switching, mixture estimation, Purdue University, trains, University of Oxford, University of Reading on January 28, 2015 by xi'an
On Wednesday afternoon, Richard Everitt and Dennis Prangle organised an RSS workshop in Reading on Bayesian Computation. And invited me to give a talk there, along with John Hemmings, Christophe Andrieu, Marcelo Pereyra, and themselves. Given the proximity between Oxford and Reading, this felt like a neighbourly visit, especially when I realised I could take my bike on the train! John Hemmings gave a presentation on synthetic models for climate change and their evaluation, which could have some connection with Tony O'Hagan's recent talk in Warwick, Dennis told us about "the lazier ABC" version in connection with his "lazy ABC" paper, [from my very personal view] Marcelo expanded on the Moreau-Yoshida expansion he had presented in Bristol about six months ago, with the notion that using a Gaussian tail regularisation of a super-Gaussian target in a Langevin algorithm could produce better convergence guarantees than the competition, including Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, Luke Kelly spoke about an extension of phylogenetic trees using a notion of lateral transfer, and Richard introduced a notion of biased approximation to Metropolis-Hasting acceptance ratios, notion that I found quite attractive if not completely formalised, as there should be a Monte Carlo equivalent to the improvement brought by biased Bayes estimators over unbiased classical counterparts. (Repeating a remark by Persi Diaconis made more than 20 years ago.) Christophe Andrieu also exposed some recent developments of his on exact approximations à la Andrieu and Roberts (2009).
Since those developments are not yet finalised into an archived document, I will not delve into the details, but I found the results quite impressive and worth exploring, so I am looking forward to the incoming publication. One aspect of the talk which I can comment on is related to the exchange algorithm of Murray et al. (2006). Let me recall that this algorithm handles double intractable problems (i.e., likelihoods with intractable normalising constants like the Ising model), by introducing auxiliary variables with the same distribution as the data given the new value of the parameter and computing an augmented acceptance ratio which expectation is the targeted acceptance ratio and which conveniently removes the unknown normalising constants. This auxiliary scheme produces a random acceptance ratio and hence differs from the exact-approximation MCMC approach, which target directly the intractable likelihood. It somewhat replaces the unknown constant with the density taken at a plausible realisation, hence providing a proper scale. At least for the new value. I wonder if a comparison has been conducted between both versions, the naïve intuition being that the ratio of estimates should be more variable than the estimate of the ratio. More generally, it seemed to me [during the introductory part of Christophe's talk] that those different methods always faced a harmonic mean danger when being phrased as expectations of ratios, since those ratios were not necessarily squared integrable. And not necessarily bounded. Hence my rather gratuitous suggestion of using other tools than the expectation, like maybe a median, thus circling back to the biased estimators of Richard. (And later cycling back, unscathed, to Reading station!)
On top of the six talks in the afternoon, there was a small poster session during the tea break, where I met Garth Holloway, working in agricultural economics, who happened to be a (unsuspected) fan of mine!, to the point of entitling his poster "Robert's paradox"!!! The problem covered by this undeserved denomination connected to the bias in Chib's approximation of the evidence in mixture estimation, a phenomenon that I related to the exchangeability of the component parameters in an earlier paper or set of slides. So "my" paradox is essentially label (un)switching and its consequences. For which I cannot claim any fame! Still, I am looking forward the completed version of this poster to discuss Garth's solution, but we had a beer together after the talks, drinking to the health of our mutual friend John Deely.
ABC@NIPS: call for papersPosted in Statistics, Travel, University life with tags ABC, BayesComp, Canada, ISBA@NIPS, likelihood-free methods, machine learning, Montréal, NIPS 2014, Québec, simulation on September 9, 2014 by xi'an
In connection with the previous announcement of ABC in Montréal, a call for papers that came out today:
NIPS 2014 Workshop: ABC in Montreal
December 12, 2014
Montréal, Québec, Canada
Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) or likelihood-free (LF) methods have developed mostly beyond the radar of the machine learning community, but are important tools for a large segment of the scientific community. This is particularly true for systems and population biology, computational psychology, computational chemistry, etc. Recent work has both applied machine learning models and algorithms to general ABC inference (NN, forests, GPs) and ABC inference to machine learning (e.g. using computer graphics to solve computer vision using ABC). In general, however, there is significant room for collaboration between the two communities.
The workshop will consist of invited and contributed talks, poster spotlights, and a poster session. Rather than a panel discussion we will encourage open discussion between the speakers and the audience!
Examples of topics of interest in the workshop include (but are not limited to):
* Applications of ABC to machine learning, e.g., computer vision, inverse problems
* ABC in Systems Biology, Computational Science, etc
* ABC Reinforcement Learning
* Machine learning simulator models, e.g., NN models of simulation responses, GPs etc.
* Selection of sufficient statistics
* Online and post-hoc error
* ABC with very expensive simulations and acceleration methods (surrogate modeling, choice of design/simulation points)
* ABC with probabilistic programming
* Posterior evaluation of scientific problems/interaction with scientists
* Post-computational error assessment
* Impact on resulting ABC inference
* ABC for model selection

MCKSki 5, where willst thou be?!Posted in Mountains, Statistics, Travel, University life with tags Alps, BayesComp, Bayesian computation, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, ISBA, MCMC algorithms, MCMSki, Rocky Mountains, simulation, Utah on February 10, 2014 by xi'an
[Here is a call from the BayesComp Board for proposals for MCMSki 5, renamed as below to fit the BayesComp section. The earlier poll on the 'Og helped shape the proposal, with the year, 2016 vs. 2017, remaining open. I just added town to resort below as it did not sound from the poll people were terribly interested in resorts.]
The Bayesian Computation Section of ISBA is soliciting proposals to host its flagship conference:
Bayesian Computing at MCMSki
The expectation is that the meeting will be held in January 2016, but the committee will consider proposals for other times through January 2017.
This meeting will be the next incarnation of the popular MCMSki series that addresses recent advances in the theory and application of Bayesian computational methods such as MCMC, all in the context of a world-class ski resort/town. While past meetings have taken place in the Alps and the Rocky Mountains, we encourage applications from any venue that could support MCMSki. A three-day meeting is planned, perhaps with an additional day or two of satellite meetings and/or short courses.
One page proposals should address feasibility of hosting the meeting including
1. Proposed dates.
2. Transportation for international participants (both the proximity of international airports and transportation to/from the venue).
3. The conference facilities.
4. The availability and cost of hotels, including low cost options.
5. The proposed local organizing committee and their collective experience organizing international meetings.
6. Expected or promised contributions from the host organization, host country, or industrial partners towards the cost of running the meetings.
Proposals should be submitted to David van Dyk (dvandyk, BayesComp Program Chair) at imperial.ac.uk no later than May 31, 2014.
The Board of Bayesian Computing Section will evaluate the proposals, choose a venue, and appoint the Program Committee for Bayesian Computing at MCMSki.
M(CM)Ski 5? [with ski polls]Posted in Mountains, pictures, Statistics, Travel, University life with tags BayesComp, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, ISBA conference, MCMSki on January 15, 2014 by xi'an
Along other members of BayesComp who launched a brainstorming session for the next MCMSki meeting before the snow has completely melted from our skis, we discussed the following topics about the future meeting:
1. Should we keep the brandname MCMSki for the incoming meetings? The argument for changing the name is that the community is broader than MCMC, as already shown by the program of MCMCSki 4. I have no strong feeling about this name, even though I find it catchy and sexy! I would thus rather keep MCMSki because it is already a brandname. Else, we could switch to M(CM)Ski, MCMSki with friends (and foes?), Snowtistics and Compuskis, or to any other short name with or without ski in it, as long as the filiation from the previous meetings is clear in the mind of the participants.
2. Should we move the frequency to two years? While the current meeting was highly popular and attracted the record number of 223 participants, and while the period right after the Winter break is not so heavily packed with meetings, we were several at a banquet table last week to object to a planned move from three to two years. I understand the appeal of meetings with great speakers in a terrific mountainous taking place as often as possible… However what stroke me with the meeting last week is that, despite the large number of parallel sessions, I overwhelmingly heard novel stuff, compared with previous meetings. And would have heard even more, had I been gifted with ubiquity. Moving to two years could cull this feeling. And induce "meeting fatigue. Furthermore, I fear that the increase in ISBA sections and the natural increase of meeting entropy pushes the percentage of meetings one can attend down and down. Sticking to a three year period would keep MCMSki more significantly attractive in that refusing an invitation would mean postponing for three years, &tc. So I personally oppose a move to two years.
3. Should we seek further financial support? The financial support behind a conference is obviously crucial. When planning MCMski 4, I however decided against contacting companies as I have no skills in the matter, but finding ways to support conference rooms, youngster travels, ski race, poster prizes and banquet would be more-than-nice. Anto's initiative to bring a pair of skis offered by a ski company was a great one and one feat that I hope can be duplicated in the future. (During my spare week in Chamonix, I contacted ski rentals and the skipass company for a rebate, to no avail.) Travel support from ISBA and SBSS towards the travel costs of around 20 young researchers was much appreciated but is not necessarily to be found at each occurrence… Note that, despite the lack of corporate support, MCMski 4 is going to provide a positive financial return to ISBA (and BayesComp) and I strongly suggest we keep a tradition of minimalist services for the future meetings in order to fight outrageous conference fees. I think the fees should cover the conference rooms and possibly a cuppa or two a day but nothing more. In particular, the banquet should remain optional. And so should any other paying social event. (We can also do without goodies and conference material.)
4. Where should the next meeting take place? The call is on for potential organisers in either 2016 or 2017, early January. Between the Alps and the Rockies, there are plenty of possible locations, but more exotic places in the Northern Hemisphere could be suggested as well, from Lapland to Hokkaido… A question raised by Christophe Andrieu that I'd like to second is whether the preference should go to places that qualify as villages or as resort. Bormio and Chamonix are villages, while Park City is not. (I definitely prefer villages!)
MCMSki IV [mistakes and regrets]Posted in Books, Mountains, pictures, R, Statistics, Travel, University life, Wines with tags BayesComp, Blossom skis, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, ISBA, MCMSki, ski race, Statistics and Computing on January 13, 2014 by xi'an
Now that the conference and the Bayesian non-parametric satellite workshop (thanks to Judith!) are over, with (almost) everyone back home, and that the post-partum conference blues settles in (!), I can reflect on how things ran for those meetings and what I could have done to improve them… (Not yet considering to propose a second edition of MCMSki in Chamonix, obviously!)
Although this was clearly a side issue for most participants, the fact that the ski race did not take place still rattles me! In retrospect, adding a mere 5€ amount to the registration fees for all participants would have been enough to cover the (fairly high) fares asked by the local ski school. Late planning for the ski race led to overlook this basic fact…
Since MCMSki is now the official conference of the BayesComp section of ISBA, I should have planned well in advance a section meeting within the program, if only to discuss the structure of the next meeting and how to keep the section alive. Waiting till the end of the last section of the final day was not the best idea!
Another thing I postponed for too long was seeking some sponsors: fortunately, the O'Bayes meeting in Duke woke me up to the potential of a poster prize and re-fortunately Academic Press, CRC Press, and Springer-Verlag reacted quickly enough to have plenty of books to hand to the winners. If we could have had another group of sponsors financing a beanie or something similar, it would have been an additional perk… Even though I gathered enough support from participants about the minimalist conference "package" made of a single A4 sheet.
Last, I did not advertise properly on the webpage and at all during the meeting for the special issue of Statistics and Computing open to all presenters at MCMSki IV! We now need to send a reminder to them…
MCMSki IV [day 3]Posted in Mountains, pictures, R, Statistics, Travel, University life with tags Alps, banquet, BayesComp, Bayesian model choice, BiiPS, BUGS, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, flu, JAGS, MCMSki IV, ski race, software, STAN, statistical significance, tee-shirt on January 9, 2014 by xi'an
Already on the final day..! And still this frustration in being unable to attend three sessions at once… Andrew Gelman started the day with a non-computational talk that broached on themes that are familiar to readers of his blog, on the misuse of significance tests and on recommendations for better practice. I then picked the Scaling and optimisation of MCMC algorithms session organised by Gareth Roberts, with optimal scaling talks by Tony Lelièvre, Alex Théry and Chris Sherlock, while Jochen Voss spoke about the convergence rate of ABC, a paper I already discussed on the blog. A fairly exciting session showing that MCMC'ory (name of a workshop I ran in Paris in the late 90's!) is still well and alive!
After the break (sadly without the ski race!), the software round-table session was something I was looking for. The four softwares covered by this round-table were BUGS, JAGS, STAN, and BiiPS, each presented according to the same pattern. I would have like to see a "battle of the bands", illustrating pros & cons for each language on a couple of models & datasets. STAN got the officious prize for cool tee-shirts (we should have asked the STAN team for poster prize tee-shirts). And I had to skip the final session for a flu-related doctor appointment…
I called for a BayesComp meeting at 7:30, hoping for current and future members to show up and discuss the format of the future MCMski meetings, maybe even proposing new locations on other "sides of the Italian Alps"! But (workshop fatigue syndrome?!), no-one showed up. So anyone interested in discussing this issue is welcome to contact me or David van Dyk, the new BayesComp program chair.

Faulty understanding of firearmsJune 17,2013Will Lange laments in last weeks paper: ...poor Private Manning.
I say, poor Will Lange for not understanding the damage that was done by this twerps deeds. We will never know how many folks fighting the fight on the battlefield were harmed because of this work by Manning. Also, Will never ceases to comment about gun ownership. For Will, it is OK to own guns that he approves of. Those of us who own the types he does not approve of, well, we are some kind of monster from another planet. He talks about rapid-fire guns. What does he mean by that? Semiauto guns have been around since before he was born. To imply that an AR-15 is more of a rapid fire than a semiauto .22-caliber is typical of the misinformation that people like him spread. A military issue AR-15 is not a legal item, simply because of the fully auto capability. Civilian versions such as the one I own, do not have the fully auto capability and have a rate of fire no more or less than my dads 12-guage shotgun (semiauto) that he purchased back in the 1930s. If Will Lange wants to change the law, so be it; that has been tried, and failed. Law-abiding people, purchasing and using legally declared guns, should be able to exercise that right. I target shoot regularly, with all the guns I own, including the one mentioned above, and those that are more of a conventional appearing sort. If Will does not want to participate in such activity, thats his choice, but either change the law, or leave the rest of us alone.
Poor Will Lange.

Hot Gossip
Kim and Kanye Make it Official With Hand-Holding, Promotional Appearance
We're no body language experts, but note how Kanye, 34, a rare smile on his face, rests one hand possessively on Kim's knee while she checks out the fabric on his upper thigh.
By the by, West was wearing that same unusually large smile while walking hand in hand with Kim that evening, and gentleman that he (apparently) is, he even made sure Kim didn't trip over a curb in her high heels.
It was their second well-documented date in two days: They also ventured out on Saturday to do some shopping, hitting the high-end racks at Balenciaga.
"It's a really good friendship that went into dating," Khloe told Us Weekly at the opening, adding that Kim's weekend accessories -- gold and diamond earrings spelling out "KW" -- "pretty much confirmed" the romance is in full swing.
"We've known Kanye for like nine years," she added to Andy Cohen on "Watch What Happens Live." "He's great with the family, but again, we've known him for so long. It's not like some stranger getting into a hurricane."
And while Khloe downplays the current seriousness of their connection, she's not ruling anything out: "Because they've been friends for so long, it's just so easy and that's something I love seeing for Kim -- the easiness and how happy she is."

Medicine in Brief
Diabetes screening: Which patients, what tests, and how often?
Dr. Keenan is associate professor, department of medicine, University of California, Davis.
Principal Source: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Screening for type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults: U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommendation statement. Ann Intern Med. 2008;148(11):846-854.—Discussant: Craig R. Keenan, MD
Practice Points
- Screen annually for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), prediabetes, weight gain, and lipid abnormalities in all patients taking atypical antipsychotics.
- Screen annually psychiatric patients age ≥30 who do not take atypicals for T2DM and prediabetes.
- For patients age <30, regularly review your patients' risk factors for diabetes to determine whom to screen for T2DM or prediabetes.
- Screening is done most simply by ordering a fasting plasma glucose test.
Psychiatric patients—especially those with schizophrenia or taking atypical antipsychotics—are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and prediabetes conditions. T2DM can be present for years without significant symptoms and even asymptomatic conditions increase the risk of cardiovascular, renal, retinal, and neurologic complications.
Despite a need for T2DM screening and treatment, expert guidelines disagree on who and how to screen (Table 1). Although testing patients who have diabetes symptoms—including polyuria, polydipsia, and weight loss—is indicated, some medical groups advocate screening asymptomatic persons for T2DM.
Screening recommendations
Consensus guidelines. In 2004, the American Diabetes Association (ADA), American Psychiatric Association (APA), American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), and North American Association for the Study of Obesity (NAASO) created consensus guidelines for screening psychiatric patients receiving atypical antipsychotics. In addition to diabetes risk, psychiatric patients are at higher risk for metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, obesity, and hypertension.1 The ADA, APA, AACE, and NAASO recommend regularly screening for weight gain and dyslipidemia, obtaining baseline values of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), rechecking FPG after 3 months, and then screening annually for diabetes or prediabetes. For patients with risk factors for diabetes and those who develop diabetes or prediabetes while taking an atypical antipsychotic, consider an atypical with a lower risk of diabetes—specifically aripiprazole or ziprasidone.1 For psychiatric patients who do not take atypicals, there is no consensus on who and how to screen for T2DM.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends screening only adults with hypertension.2 Its review found insufficient evidence that early detection and treatment leads to improved clinical outcomes in asymptomatic adults.
The ADA recommends more liberal screening, including individuals age ≥45 or anyone age <45 who is overweight and has any other diabetes risk factors.3 The ADA admits that no trials show a benefit of screening asymptomatic patients but notes that the duration of glycemic burden predicts adverse outcomes and effective interventions for diabetes and prediabetes are available.
AACE guidelines recommend screening starting at age 30 if the patient has risk factors for T2DM. This is the only group that includes psychiatric illness as a risk factor.4
European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) guidelines calculate a risk score based on common risk factors to determine who should be screened and recommend using the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) rather the FPG.5 The OGTT identifies more cases of diabetes and pre-diabetes but takes >2 hours to administer.
Table 1
General population screening recommendations for type 2 diabetes mellitus or prediabetes
Whom to screen
How to screen
U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF)
Asymptomatic adults with sustained blood pressure >135/80 mmHg (treated or untreated)
FPG or OGTT every 3 years
American Diabetes Association (ADA)
All adults age ≥45
FPG or 2-hour OGTT every 3 years or more frequently, depending on initial results and risks
American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE)
All adults age ≥30 with risk factors for diabetes (Table 2)
FPG or 2-hour OGTT (frequency not specified)
European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) and European Society of Cardiology (ESC)
All adults with elevated risk score*
OGTT (frequency not indicated)
FPG: fasting plasma glucose; OGTT: oral glucose tolerance test (75 gm glucose load); BMI: body mass index
*Risk scoring tool available at www.diabetes.fi/english/risktest
Despite a lack evidence showing benefit to the screened population, treating diabetes and its comorbidities improves outcomes, and the potential risks of therapy are low. Therefore, it seems reasonable to screen more patients than the USPSTF recommends.
Using the EASD risk score is intriguing, but difficult to implement in a busy practice. Therefore, I recommend following the AACE guidelines, which recognize psychiatric illness as a risk factor, for screening psychiatric patients who are not receiving atypicals.
Annually screen psychiatric patients age ≥30, especially those with schizophrenia or affective disorders. I also follow the ADA guidelines and screen overweight adults age ≤30 if they have any of the other risk factors listed in Table 2. The most common risk factors seen in practice are being a member of a high-risk ethnic group, hypertension, lipid abnormalities, and cardiovascular disease. For overweight adults without other risk factors, I start screening at age 30.
Other practitioners can be more or less conservative and still be within accepted guidelines. The FPG—glucose level drawn from a vein after at least 8 hours of fasting—is probably the easiest screening test in practice. Any patient with a value >100mg/dL should be referred to the patient's primary care physician. Any patient who develops diabetes symptoms—including polyuria, polydipsia, and weight loss—should be tested immediately. The hemoglobin A1C test is not recommended for screening.
Table 2
Risk factors identified for diabetes or prediabetes
American Diabetes Association (ADA)
American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists
Clinical presentation
Screening detects overt diabetes and can identify prediabetes. Prediabetes includes conditions of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). IFG is defined as a fasting glucose of 100 to 125 mg/dL, and IGT is defined as having a 2-hour glucose of 140 to 199 mg/dL on an OGTT.
Approximately one-quarter of the adult population has prediabetes, and interventions can prevent the progression of prediabetes to overt diabetes and reverse prediabetes. The Diabetes Prevention Trial found that lifestyle measures—including exercise and diet—were most effective, with a 53% reduction in the rate of progression to diabetes.6 Metformin also was effective, but less so than lifestyle measures alone.
Treatment slows the development or progression of microvascular complications, such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. Aggressive treatment of comorbid conditions, including hyperlipidemia and hypertension, also reduces the risk of cardiovascular events.

Franek vs. White
Frankel Claims Victory Via Technical Decision!
Tacoma, WA (January 6th, 2013) – Halquist Productions' Battle at the Boat 90 featured high paced action in which only one fight went the distance. In the main event, Rob Frankel put on an overwhelming performance that concluded in the 5th round.
Scheduled for 10 rounds, Frankel (31-12-1, 6 KO's) came away with the unanimous technical decision victory over Jermaine White (17-5-0, 9 KO's). Frankel had control throughout the whole fight. In the 2nd round Frankel landed 2 knockdowns that put White in serious trouble. White showed a lot of heart trying to stay on his feet and continue the fight.
After getting knocked down twice in the 2nd round, White lost his mouthpiece twice in what looked like a strategy to regain composure. White spent a majority of the rest of the fight ducking and swaying back and forth while throwing the occasional power punch trying to land the knockout. In the 5th round, White head-butted Frankel which was ruled accidental. The fight was stopped so that the doctor could take a look. After a few moments of inspection, the doctor decided that Frankel could not continue which stopped the fight and sent the decision to the cards where the judges ruled unanimously in favor for Rob Frankel. Two judges scored the fight 49-44 while the third judge scored the fight 50-43.
Making his professional debut, Zachary Cooper had the entire showroom standing on their feet when he landed a knockout 30 seconds into the 1st round. His opponent, Rafael Umarov (1-5-0) was knocked out cold, facing the canvas, causing the event to be paused for a good amount of time. Cooper trains out of the infamous Mayweather Boxing Gym in boxing capital city of the world, Las Vegas, Nevada. Continue reading

"This is the lowest sales level in 16 years," Chrysler CEO Bob Nardelli wrote Tuesday in a memo to employees.
After months of confident talk that Chrysler LLC anticipated the economic downturn better than other automakers, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bob Nardelli told employees Tuesday, in a memo obtained by the Free Press, that the last few months -- and this month in particular -- have been even worse than Chrysler anticipated.
Industry-wide sales so far in June have been about 20% worse than Chrysler's expectations for the year, according to the memo.
Nardelli didn't indicate or threaten any job or production cuts like those under way at rivals, but experts saw the message as an ominous ...

Wauwatosa East's Dan Sayles' 3-point basket on the buzzer upset Milwaukee Washington, 57-56, in the 2009 Wisconsin Basketball Yearbook Shootout at the Al McGuire Center Monday night, snapping a 6-game losing streak for the Red Raiders.
Washington junior Quevyn Winters' two free throws with 4.2 seconds left had just given the Purgolders a 56-54 lead. The Red Raiders got the ball into Sayles, a sharp-shooting senior forward who leads the team in scoring.
Sayles dribbled through a double team and past two more Purgolders before shooting a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from the wing for the win.
Tosa East, a young and inexperienced team, improved to 3-7 with the win, while Washington, the third-ranked team in the area, fell to 5-2. What made the upset even more unlikely was the fact that an average Pius XI team clobbered Tosa East Sunday night by 18 in the first day of the tourney.
After shooting 28% against the Popes, the Red Raiders came back and shot 60% (12-of-20) in the second half and hit 7-of-14 3-pointers against Washington, an excellent defensive team.
Sayles finished with 20 points, which included 4-of-8 from 3-point range. Sophomore forward Darrell Bowie helped out Sayles with 14 points and eight rebounds, while senior guard Matt Patton had 13 points and five assists.
The Red Raiders are now off until Jan. 5 when they host West Allis Central in Greater Metro Conference play.

It was lovely at the german wedding - what fun that was in the beer cave! We went hiking in Saxony too which was thirsty work but we did get to meet one of our special friends though - Giraffede. Even with her long neck though she needed a piggy-back to reach the beer - this goes down very well with chocholate cake and nutella which our beary friends also enjoy too ;-)
Well it wasn't long before we had another holiday - did you spot us at the Marbella meet - we saw so many friends there :-)) It was so exciting to be at our first big meeting ....we were a litle shy though with so many people around

Dexter explores racism with a cold eye in Train--rarely politically correct and always unafraid to find pettiness in the lives of liberal whites, beatniks, philanthropists, and powerful African-Americans. Outside of the purity of Train's golf swing, Dexter finds little to celebrate in the troubled times, and every page offers the possibility of new catastrophe. Occasionally, with this abundance of disaster, Dexter seems to lose track, and a few of his subplots (like the story of a hideously burned reporter who tries to uncover the truth behind the killings on a sailboat) never quite get resolved. Yet, Train is not a bleak novel, and Packard's detachment lends the book an air of dark comedy. When Dexter writes, "Packard was amused with the world at large" he could just as well be writing about himself: curious, entertained, fascinated, but never unsettled by the grotesquery of human existence. --Patrick O'Kellley --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
The author tries to pull together a varied cast of characters,

seem to work. Read more

381 Tasting Notes
thanks so much to cavocorax for this awesome sample!
in retrospect i think my standard practice of oversteeping may have bitten me a bit because this tea is everything it declares itself to be (ie: i have heartburn and it's my own fault! lol)
this is a difficult tea to describe: heavy, a thick taste without being viscous or sticking to the tongue, the malt is very detectable as is the chocolate. there are also notes of molasses and is very reminiscent of chocolate stout.
no floral notes, but as i previously mentioned, i did steep for 6 minutes (or so) so it might be that i overpowered them, lol. surprisingly smooth, though at this length of steep a wee bit astringent (again reminiscent of stout!).
if you like artisan ales and are up for a creatively contributed tea, then i'm sure you'll be satisfied with this one! i especially enjoyed playing up the sweetness with a bit of sugar and adding a drop of cream.
if i had to ascribe this tea an image it would be this: http://fineartamerica.com/featured/black-purple-calla-lilies—1—macro-flowers-fine-art-photography-artecco-fine-art-photography—photograph-by-nadja-drieling.html …this tea unfurls, draws attention, is unusual. you won't forget it soon, nor should you.
dark chocolate overtones, but no sweetness. molasses. very low acidity. this is a heavy tea that moves and changes in the space between sipping and swallowing.
it metamorphoses in the second steep. it becomes mineral heavy. it has an odd (but not unpleasant) refractive granular quality, but is somehow still smooth.
this elegant tea has been driving me bananas all day. multiple cups, multiple steepings and the same disconcerting echo: i know this taste, i've had it before, what on earth is it??? i have spent my sips narrowing it down.
the sweet fresh taste from pea shoots, the hollow starchy taste from corn milk when you're husking it, the woody husks you sometimes find on ripe blackberries. to my palate no part of this is connected to a green, black or puerh tea. i have never had a tea remotely like this. there are no floral notes, only fresh, sweet light tones that echo around and around 'you know me, what's my name?'
this excellent tea has had me doing circles today! i even gave up one of my precious sample buds to chew on so i could whittle down the taste contributers.
beautiful clear, lovely with cream…. drat i've run out…. must look into buying more….
I also think "malto meal" or steel cut oats with this one…or maybe cream of wheat? It tastes like a cooked breakfast cereal
well, i'm out now and have ordered more but i will concentrate on nutmeg and steel cut oats when my new batch comes in! i do believe this one has become my new staple…
you were ordering last night too? i was going to add something today (hopefully) but it looks as though their site has crashed =0( —hopefully it's an update and not something more serious.
lol! Whoops! Well some people around here do turn panicky if they can't get their favorite teas. :-)
thanks for the well-wishes, James. A bit stressful, but nothing Geoffrey can't conquer! The site will be back up ASAP- I'll be sure to let you know when it's restored.
So glad you enjoyed the Yabao! It was the first kind of tea I fell head-over-heels for, and we actually shared a brick of aged yabao with all of the guests when David and I got married. I wonder what the mystery flavor is for you? Can't wait to hear what it is if you find out!
Fuzzy-Peachkin: if you like (and if your order hasn't already shipped out), I can make sure that Yabao is your free sample. Just let me know (or PM me).
It's always exciting for me to read awesome reviews like this for teas I have on the way but haven't tried yet. Just makes me even more eager for my order to arrive. Nice review James.
thank you scribbles for this very unusual tea! okay, i will start by saying that i do like this tea. why say it that way? because i am on the cusp of laughter and i needed to have my enjoyment of the blend stated first, before i have a snicker.
i opened the bag and i smelled neo citron. yup. reading the history behind the blend's design i wondered if david had a cold or at least a bit of sinus congestion while he was in L.A. i tried to remember whether i had liked neo citron but failed because it always used to knock me out.
being the super steeper that i am i gave it my normal 6 minutes, figured that cream would just give me a mug full of feta but did stir in a bit of sugar. i wafted the vapor towards my nose, a st. bernard named neo making it's way towards me through the steam. i burst out laughing and took a sip. neo citron! but also not.
much smoother, has a hefty dose of caffeine…and you know what? seriously, the next time i'm miserable with a cold i will brew this up, add honey as opposed to sugar (and maybe some rum) and make this as a toddy! it won't be an everyday for me, the affiliation with cold medicine is just too old, but it will make an awesome substitute for the junk i've taken in the past when i'm sick! (that's a pretty big compliment).
true, but i like the visual of floating curds that give an audible thump in your cup…. thus feta! it would have been a feta accomplit! lol. (paneer gives me no pun) ;-D
Either way, ew! To both the cheese and Neocitron. I'm glad I didn't buy la la lemon though it was on my list.
this is a complicated tea, while also being simply striking.
it's a laoshan black, no big deal…. or so one could mistake by the oversimplified name. this is not a simple anything.
long dark strands that seem innocuous until water was added. dry it smelled like leaves, steeped they became darker and deeper in smell and appearance.
the thing i am discovering about verdant teas is their quiet brilliance. this tea has a heavy dark chocolate-like tone. it's not from an additive… but from incredible technique.
beautiful clear and untouched, hot, cold or creamed and sugared. my compliments to you verdant teas.
Thank you, JustJames- but we have to pass along the compliments to the He Family! It's a privilege to get to share their teas with the world, and few things make me happier than reading sentiments like yours and passing them on to Mr & Mrs. He.
this tea evolves with distinct changes from bag opening to sipping.
-when i opened the bag i smelled roasted coconut with some oolong in the background.
-once the water was added the evolution began, but not in a way i would have predicted: the colour didn't deepen much but took on a milky hue AND the smell went from a fierce coconut to a lesser coconut with undefinable florals.
-a 6 minute steep because i like a robust tea and this one stayed quite pale.
-cream and sugar because it is the common way i take all but greens.
-on the tongue: i taste coconut and a VERY light oolong, no bitterness, with a refined floral smell at the same time.
-the sip is smooth, as is the caffeine (as opposed to sticky on the tongue).
nicely done tao tea leaf! and a thank you to scribbles for sharing this little gem!
generally i consider andrews and dunham a staple: their tiger assam, their double knit— this is a company that has studied tea and knows what they're doing.
i completely understand why this one was named 'caravan'. i can taste the bonfire smoke and hear the nomads dancing about the flames. if you like a smoke heavy blend that is also smooth then i predict you will bond well with this tea. for my part it was a bit too much smoke, even with cream added. it was, however, very smooth.
thank you to scibbles for this tasting experience!
scribbles, you are a hero among everyday folk!
this tea is the classy little black dress that every woman has in her wardrobe, but with a twist: along with this elegant slip the accessory is not pearls or gold, but a cuban cigar. oh yes!
this is a simple black tea. almost purist but for the sweet, smoky taste of organic tobacco leaf. perfectly matched, beautifully balanced. it is not even remotely subtle with its caffeine punch, but it is very smooth.
thank you so much scribbles for sharing! i will meter this out and buy more when i'm done.
….. i wonder sometimes with the amount of tea i consume how it is that i sleep at all, lol.

Profit taking, it will rebound. Cramer did not place a sell on mrvl actually he had the ceo of mrvl via sat on his show and made a strong buy on mrvl. He did state to keep appl and sell mrvl to be diversified. Do not feed into these shorts that want to see the stock go down for their own gains. Look what analyst are saying about the Company and decide on numbers, next earnings will bring mrvl over $22. Company is making very serious money. Look at the rest of the market and see how many days it has been that we have closed negative.
