Testing for Overdispersion in Poisson and Binomial Regression Models
Dean, C. B., Journal of the American Statistical Association
Count data analyzed under a Poisson assumption or data in the form of proportions analyzed under a binomial assumption often exhibit overdispersion. Breslow (1984), Brillinger (1986), Lawless (1987 a) and McCullagh and Nelder (1989, Sec. 6.2) discuss the analysis of count data when extra-Poisson variation is present; corresponding types of analyses for data in the form of proportions are given in Crowder (1985, 1978) and Williams (1982). It is desirable to use a model that allows for the possibility of extra-Poisson or extra-binomial variation if we are interested primarily in inference concerning regression parameters and if the situation is one in which overdispersion routinely occurs. Many times, however, the Poisson and binomial models remain valid; because of the simplicity and appeal of these models, it is of real interest to ascertain when they apply. Testing for extra-Poisson or extra-binomial variation by fitting a more comprehensive model that includes the Poisson or binomial, and then testing for a reduction to the simple model using, for example, a likelihood ratio test, may provide misleading results. Lawless (1987a) notes that in certain circumstances the asymptotic distributions used with these tests may be unreliable, as they tend to underestimate the evidence against the base model. Score tests for overdispersion also have been proposed. With these tests we may fit the Poisson or binomial model as a first step in the model building process and test for overdispersion. Score tests for detecting extra-Poisson variation have been discussed by Cameron and Trivedi (1986), Collings and Margolin (1985), Dean and Lawless (1989), and Fisher (1950); tests for extra-binomial variation have been presented by Tarone (1979) and Prentice (1986).
This paper develops a unifying theory for all the score tests mentioned above. The test for overdispersion is derived in Section 1. The tests above are special cases of this generalized overdispersion test. Many other tests for overdispersion may be obtained using the general framework; the construction of these tests depends on the mechanism through which the overdispersion may arise. Omnibus tests are also discussed. Asymptotic distributions of the tests are given and, in the binomial case, the tests of Tarone and Prentice are extended from a consideration of the single sample problem to the general regression setup. The tests derived are designed to be powerful against arbitrary alternative distributions where only the first two moments are specified. In Sections 2 and 3, we focus on tests for extra-Poisson and extra-binomial variation, respectively. Section 4 offers some miscellaneous comments.
Consider the natural exponential family with probability density function
f(Y; [theta]) = exp {a([theta]) Y - g(theta) + c(Y)}, (1.1)
where Y represents the response variable and B is an unknown parameter on which the distribution of Y depends. This family includes both the Poisson and binomial distributions. Let [Y.sub.1], ..., [Y.sub.n] be a sample of independent observations, [Y.sub.i] hypothesized to be from (1.1), with the corresponding [[theta].sub.i] a function of a p X 1 vector of covariates [x.bar.sub.i], and regression parameters [[beta].bar]; that is, [[theta].sub.i], = [[theta].sub.i] [x.bar.sub.i]; [beta]), i = 1, ..., n. The mean and variance of [y.sub.i] are
E([Y.sub.i]) = [[mu].sub.i] ([[theta].sub.i]) = {[a'.sub.i]([[theta].sub.i])}.sup.-1]} [g'sub.i]([[theta].sub.i]),
var([Y.sub.i]) = [[sigma].sub.i.sup.2]([[theta].sub.i])
= [{[a'.sub.i]([[theta].sub.i])}.sup.2] {[gsub.i]([[theta].sub.i]) - [a"sub.i]([[theta].sub.i]) E([Y.sub.i])}, (1.2)
where 'denotes differentiation with respect to [[theta].sub.i].
To derive a test for the adequacy of the model (1.1), we shall first construct a larger "overdispersed" family of models, for which var([y. …

DEFINITION of 'Mortgage Short Sale'
The sale of a property by a financially distressed borrower for less than the outstanding mortgage balance due where the proceeds from the sale will be used to repay the lender. The lender then accepts the less-than-full repayment of the mortgage (and the borrower is released from the mortgage obligation) in order to avoid what would amount to larger losses for the lender if it were to foreclose on the mortgage.
BREAKING DOWN 'Mortgage Short Sale'
A mortgage short sale is one of several options other than foreclosure that might be available to a financially distressed borrower. Borrowers with temporary financial problems should try to negotiate a forbearance agreement with their lender. For borrowers with more lasting financial problems, in addition to a mortgage short sale, a deed in lieu of foreclosure or a short refinance might be potential options in avoiding foreclosure.

I just bought 2005 Bianchi Cross Veloce cyclocross demo bike
-Campy Veloce groupo for the most part
-50/34 FSA crankset
-12-25 cassette
-Came w/ 2005 Campy Vento wheelset w/ CX 700x35 tires.
This will be my outdoor training/winter/gravel road bike.
Separately, just bought 2006 Ventos w/ road tires (Michelin Pro2 race) and matching 12-25 cassette.
Plan to Switch back/forth between wheelsets (Road and CX).
1) Should all these wheels be compatible between my 2 outdoor bikes since both are
-Campy (XV=Veloce, Tarmac=Chorus)
-50/34 FSA (XV=Gossamer/Tarmac=SLK)
-XV 2 cassettes are both 12-25
-Tarmac have Easton Ascent II's (1 rear w/ 12-25, 2nd rear w/ 11-23)
2) Do you think I'll be able to use same chain for 11-23 and 12-25?
3) Considering buying 13-29 Campy cassette (Chorus, Centaur or Veloce) for occasional use on either bike.
If do this, know will need separate chain that would use w/ just the 13-29. What Rear derailleur would you rec, assuming cannot use short cage that have on Tarmac. Have to check on X-Veloce to see what RD it has. IFFF it has longer RD, than 13-29 might fit right on there??
4) If get Campy 13-29 cassette, which one do you rec, Chorus, Centaur or Veloce? see below for good prices from Italy.

LAN Adapter Slower than WiFi - speed differences (WTF?) #updateM4GNUM Mar 26, 2013 10:22 AM
My ISP plan is 15 mb/s down with 2 mb/s up. I am currently connected via Wii LAN Adapter, but I've noticed the internet on the Wii U runs VERY slow - IE: any video played on YouTube (via app or browser) keeps getting interrupted every 4 seconds.
In the next few days, I'm going to upgrade to 30 mb/s down with 5 mb/s up...but that doesn't really affect the "relative" connection speed questions I have...
1) Is anyone else seeing huge discrepancies when using the LAN vs WiFi?
2) Why the hell is the U so slow with it's connectivity in general? This can't be helpful to BO2 connectivity, can it?
3) Is the LAN Adapter not USB 2.0?
Here are some tests of: [1] Wii U LAN, [2] Wii U WiFi, and [3] my laptop. During WiFi, router is 2 feet from Wii U and 30 feet from laptop.
Site: http://speedof.me
[1] Wii U LAN download: 1.26 mbps
[1] Wii U LAN upload: wouldn't work
[2] Wii U WiFi download: 1.6 mbps
[2] Wii U WiFi upload: wouldn't work
[3] Laptop WiFi download: 16.22 mbps
[3] Laptop WiFi upload: 2.34 mb/s
Site: http://testmy.net (this one is the most telling as it can test all consoles)
[1] Wii U LAN download: 1.9 mbps
[1] Wii U LAN upload: 767 kbps
[2] Wii U WiFi download: 6 mbps
[2] Wii U WiFi upload: 874 kbps
[3] Laptop WiFi download: 14.6 mbps
[3] Laptop WiFi upload: 2.4 mbps
Site: http://pingtest.net (testing laptop WiFi only since U doesn't support Flash)
[3] Ping: 48 (500 miles away), 105 (2,000 miles away)
[3] Jitter: 6 (500 miles away), 3 (2,000 miles away)
[3] Packet Loss: 0 (500 miles away), 0 (2,000 miles away)
Site: http://speedtest.net (testing laptop WiFi only since U doesn't support Flash)
[3] Ping: 44
[3] Download: 14.5 mbps
[3] Upload: 2.10 mbps
In-Game Bandwidth (options>system info):
[1] Wii U LAN: 2.1 mbps
[2] Wii U WiFi: 2.0 mbps
So...essentially my laptop that is 30 feet from my router works 7 times FASTER than my Wii U that is plugged into the router (LAN)...and even more crazy is that my Wii U LAN is 3 times SLOWER than my Wii U WiFi?
I upgraded my internet to double it was before, so am now at 30 mbps up and 5 mbps down.
NEW Speed Test (http://testmy.net):
[1] Wii U LAN download: 1.2 mbps
[1] Wii U LAN upload: 455 kbps
[2] Wii U WiFi download: 5.6 mbps
[2] Wii U WiFi upload: 810 kbps
[3] Laptop WiFi download: 29 mbps
[3] Laptop WiFi upload: 5.3 mbps
NEW In-Game Bandwidth (options>system info):
[1] Wii U LAN: 2.3 mbps
[2] Wii U WiFi: 2.7 mbps
So I talked to Nintendo Tech Support:
* "we don't have any information on how to speed it up, nor do we have information as to if there are limits on the internet speed of the U or the max speed the U can handle. The e-Shop has been down/under-going maintenance so that may be increasing lag."
Yeah. Okay.
And then I talked to Nintendo Consumer Support (because Tech said they'd have more info):
* "there's no information I have to help you - did you contact your ISP?"
And then I talked to "Advanced WiFi Support":
* changed wireless channel from "Auto" to "1" = no change in speed
* changed channel to "6" = no change
* changed channel to "11" = increased Wii U WiFi speed from 5.6 mbps to 6.1 mbps
* no other channels made a difference
* I have a Belkin router and there is a QoS (quality of service) setting that was on. Was told to turn it off, but made no change in speed
NEW NEW In-Game Bandwidth (options>system info):
[1] Wii U LAN: 2.3 mbps
[2] Wii U WiFi: 3.0 mbps (highest I've ever gotten). Last night 3/25 I actually had 4.8 mbps in-game all night and still had HUGE lag issues. Could be someone in my party or lobby with a bad connection that caused that though.
Additional Info From Nintendo:
* DMZ has nothing to do with speed - only has to do with firewall (same with port-forwarding)
* Wii U can handle up to 130 mbps WiFi
* LAN adapter "should" work well as it is 10/100
* Any game online (like BO2 multiplayer) should work very well if you have above a 6 mbps connection with the Wii U
* If your router was between $40 and $80 (mine was $40) - it might not be advanced enough to handle online gaming through the Wii U
* Was told to look into a better router
* Was told to contact my router (Belkin) and ask them for specific setup for Wii U
Will update this if anything changes for the better. Might just get a new router. All of this can't be helping the connection issues I have with this game.

AHMM sued over Amsterdam uni deal
Wickham van Eyck seeks compensation over alleged breach of joint-venture agreement
Allford Hall Monaghan Morris (AHMM) is facing a compensation claim after a collaboration with a another firm on an entry to the University of Amsterdam design competition collapsed.
The firm allegedly pulled out of a joint venture with fellow architect Wickham van Eyck, which now says it has lost a profit of around 2.85 million euros (£2.4 million) and is suing AHMM for damages over breach of agreement, breach of fiduciary duties and breach of trust.
The dispute centres around an international competition for a 70 million euro (£58 million) project to develop a building complex at part of the University of Amsterdam, which the two firms agreed to work on together in 2005, according to a High Court writ.
Together they submitted a tender in July 2006, and made a joint presentation after being shortlisted, but were told the commission had been awarded to an Amsterdam practice, the writ says.
But in March 2007, AHMM partner Simon Allford was told AHMM was being considered as architect for the scheme, on the basis that the university's relationship was with Allford alone, and with Wickham van Eyck as partner, the writ alleges.
Allford offered to engage Wickham van Eyck as a sub-consultant with fees agreed on a stage-by-stage payment structure, the writ says.
Wickham van Eyck is now accusing AHMM of unilaterally changing the relationship and of repudiatory breach of agreement, which, the firm alleges, cost its profit share on the scheme.
It is also seeking reimbursement of the costs of staff specifically employed on the project who could not be dismissed until the end of January 2008.
AHMM has consistently refused to identify Wickham van Eyck as author of any part of the design, or give it any credit for its part in the design, it is alleged.
Despite repeated requests, Allford has refused to make any statement acknowledging Wickham van Eyck's role in winning the competition or producing the design, and the two partners' feelings have been injured, it is claimed.
Wickham van Eyck is seeking declarations, damages and aggravated damages for breach of the joint-venture agreement, as well as an account of profits, and payment of sums found due.

Dead in the air – Germany's problems on set pieces and what is behind them
The ball goes out and a collective sigh of resignation comes over Germany supporters in Warsaw's national stadium. Germany just earned a corner against Italy in the semi final of the EUROs but instead of excitement over the possibility of scoring a goal, Germany supporters knew it would be just another missed opportunity.

Townsend Farms product sold at Costco stores; six in state diagnosed with disease
San Diego Two cases of hepatitis A in San Diego have been linked to Townsend Farms frozen berries, involved in a five-state outbreak of the disease, county officials said Friday.
People should avoid eating the Townsend Farms Organic Antioxidant Blend of frozen berries, sold through Costco stores, said Tom Christensen, a county spokesman. The outbreak has been linked to at least 30 cases, including six in California. Those diagnosed in San Diego reported eating the frozen berry blend.
The number of cases in San Diego County and in this outbreak may increase, the county said in a news release. It can take up to 30 days to become ill with hepatitis A after being exposed to the virus.
The outbreak is being investigated by the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the federal Food and Drug Administration, and the California Department of Public Health. The county declined to specify in what part of the county the infected people live.
"If you ate Townsend Farms Organic Anti-Oxidant Blend frozen berries within the past two weeks and you have never been vaccinated for hepatitis A or had the disease, you should contact your health care provider to discuss hepatitis A vaccine or immune globulin," Dr. Eric McDonald, deputy county public health officer, said in the release.
Those without a doctor can call the county of San Diego's Epidemiology Program at (619) 692-8499.
The risk of contracting hepatitis A from eating these berries is low, county officials said. If you have ever been vaccinated for hepatitis A or have been diagnosed with hepatitis A in the past, you are considered protected from the disease. The hepatitis A vaccine or immune globulin can prevent infection if given within 14 days of exposure.
Symptoms can include mild fever, loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, pain in the upper right side of the abdomen, dark urine and jaundice (yellow eyes or skin), the county release said. People with those symptoms should get medical attention.
Hepatitis A varies in severity; in severe cases it can require hospitalization. The disease is spread person-to-person or via contaminated food or beverages.

The Wild's hex over the Chicago Blackhawks at the Xcel Energy Center ran into the large leg pads of the Hawks' Patrick Lalime on Tuesday night.
The 6-foot-3 goaltender from Quebec made several key saves to backstop Chicago's 4-2 victory over the Wild in front of 18,568 at the X, the Hawks' first victory in St. Paul in nearly six years.
"He stole at least five goals from us," Wild winger Pavol Demitra said.
This game, ending a Wild home streak of 8-0-1 against the Blackhawks dating to March 29, 2002, had a Wild win written all over it: Minnesota outshot the Hawks 34-30 and Wild players repeatedly got free for breakaways or partial breakaways, only to be stymied by Lalime.
At no time was that more evident than 16 minutes into the second period, and the Wild trailing 2-1, when Demitra poked the puck free at the Wild blue line and shifted into passing gear with teammate Marian Gaborik on his right and. As the duo skated into the Chicago zone, they left the Hawks defenders in their wake for a two-on-zero rush.
But Lalime read it perfectly and cheated toward Gaborik. When the pass came, the goaltender got his left leg pad on Gaborik's shot at the right post.
"That was kind of the key," Gaborik said. "We should have scored on that."
Demitra said he faked a shot but, in hindsight, should have been selfish and fired away.
"Everybody knew I was going to pass," he said.
"Yeah," Lalime said.
Wild coach Jacques Lemaire cited that play and another excellent chance by Gaborik after the Wild pulled goaltender Niklas Backstrom for an extra attacker near the finish, only to have Gaborik's shot deflected by the shaft of Lalime's stick.
"That's when it looks like it wasn't meant to be," said Lemaire, who praised his team's effort.
The Wild, who had scored just one first-period goal in their previous six games, got off to a little better start thanks to Gaborik, who carried the puck in and passed to Demitra for the game's first goal.
The assist was the 200th of Gaborik's career and his 398th career point in 470 games. But 399 was not to be as Lalime stoned chances by Gaborik, James Sheppard, Mikko Koivu and several others while the Hawks got goals from Jason Williams, Duncan Keith and Dustin Byfuglien to seize a 3-1 lead.
Williams scored when the puck deflected in off the skate of Minnesota's Eric Belanger, and Keith swatted a puck in out of midair at 7:40 in the second period on a play that needed replays to confirm that the airborne puck had dropped below the level of the crossbar before he touched it.
"On the first two, they got some puck luck," Backstrom said. "That's a part of hockey."
Byfuglien, who grew up in Roseau, Minn., got the winning goal on a power-play blast from the right circle early in the third period to make it 3-1, but Stephane Veilleux scored four minutes later after a set up by Kim Johnsson's second effort to pull Minnesota within one.
By then, the Wild were driving hard, and it appeared they might have a golden opportunity when Chicago got a penalty at 13:01 of the third period. But Gaborik was called for hooking 23 seconds later, then slapped with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and banished for four minutes.
"I was surprised, at that point of a game, you know?" Gaborik said, noting that he was mumbling about the call as he reached the box. "It's not like I was talking to him or yelling at him."
And so ended the Wild's power play and, after a late empty-net goal by the Hawks, so ended the Wild's streak over Chicago at the X.

The expressionistic, stylized visual brilliance (courtesy of Australian cinematographer Christopher Doyle) of Happy Together is so breathtaking and enveloping it nearly detracts from this startling, queasy, despairing glimpse at a gay relationship gone amok. Director Wong Kar-Wai (Chungking Express, Fallen Angels) won the Best Director Prize at Cannes in 1997--surprising many--but on viewing the film it's easy to see why. The subject matter may not be the easiest to swallow--any relationship on the rocks sometimes gets dirty and pathetically disturbing--but there is a universality to Happy Together that rings true and real and less like an edition of The Honeymooners than isolation tinged with the embarrassment of intimacy. Ho (Leslie Cheung) and Lai (Tony Leung) have left Hong Kong for Buenos Aires. The journey is another in Ho's attempts to "start over." But their initial optimism is short-lived, and once they become dislocated strangers in this strange land it only further thrusts the two into their already codependent, caretaking dark love affair. But like all crazy love, the trip through masochistic hell--from violence to apathy--leads to self-enlightenment, and Wong Kar-Wai's gorgeous, grasping film is true, tricky, difficult, and emotionally wrought, aided by Hong Kong superstars Cheung and Leung, who contribute greatly to creating a work that is exceptional--and lump-in-throat brutal--in image, story, and performance. --Paula Nechak --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

'World News' Promotes Food Police Attack on Marketing
Knocking off iconic cereal box characters in 2007 wasn't enough for the self-appointed "food police." Now they want characters like that to promote only healthy foods.
The July 29 "World News with Charles Gibson" gave a one-sided account of food marketing, parroting the claims of a liberal activist "consumer group" and ignoring the role of parental responsibility in making food purchases for children.
"The ads are everywhere – on television, online and on the packaging itself," ABC correspondent Lisa Stark said. "Many feature movie or cartoon characters luring children to foods many consider unhealthy."
Stark even interviewed children from a YMCA camp in Washington, D.C., who accused companies of trying to "like, brainwash" kids with targeted marketing.
"And all those characters hocking the products, they're effective, too. So are any giveaways," Stark said. "Many food companies, under public pressure, are now changing how they market to those under age 12."
The segment didn't include any parents – the ones actually responsible for purchasing food for children.
It also didn't offer a statement from the industry or include any company that markets their products. However, it did include two "experts" – one from the Better Business Bureau and one from the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), an activist non-profit organization that aggressively promotes the regulation of food.
Elaine Kolish of the Better Business Bureau said companies are holding themselves to nutrition standards and focusing advertising dollars on healthier foods. But Stark turned toward the government for more regulation because "consumers groups say those voluntary standards aren't nearly good enough."
"So the fast food companies don't have sodium standards," Margo Wootan of CSPI said. "The cereal manufactures have very weak sugar standards. Coke doesn't consider the front of vending machines in schools to be marketing."
Stark acknowledged the Federal Trade Commission doesn't link marketing to childhood obesity, even though it's a position CSPI has taken for decades. But she echoed a draconian warning from the FTC to food marketers.
"The FTC would not go so far as to link food marketing to childhood obesity, but did warn companies: use those ad dollars to promote only healthy food," Stark said.

Police investigating the use of Scottish airports by CIA rendition flights have asked for an un-redacted version of the Senate report on the detention and interrogation programme.
Amnesty International has strongly criticised the Obama administration's silence in the wake of last year's Senate torture report.
The body investigating British abuses in Iraq says it will not request as evidence the US Senate report on CIA torture, in the case of two Pakistani men tortured and rendered by the UK and the US.
Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee has admitted that it was only able to consider "limited" evidence on redactions from the Senate torture report.
Theresa May was one of several UK officials who met with the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence ahead of the publication of its report on torture by the US and its allies.
There are ncreased concerns that the UK may be seeking to censor the US Senate report on CIA torture and rendition following newly released information on meetings involving the British Ambassdor.
David Miliband, who as UK Foreign Secretary was forced to admit that the CIA had used British territory for 'rendition' flights, has left open the possibility that further evidence of involvement could emerge.
The case brought by a husband and wife subjected to a 2004 'rendition,' jointly organised by MI6, the CIA and Libyan intelligence, is being heard today by the Court of Appeal in London.
Sixty-two national peace, faith other NGOs have sent a letter to the US Senate, urging opposition to new sanctions against Iran.

Finnish Pig Farm, February 2015
In February 2015 I spent some time in Finland. It was fascinating to see how open the public discourse seemed to be around the topic of animal rights. The national publication
Helsingin Sanomat
had run a full two pages about my work in their Saturday paper a few months prior to my visit, and a national television station invited me to speak with their hosts about animal rights. The animal advocacy group
hosted several well-attended We Animals talks and exhibits as well.
During that busy week I also had the opportunity to visit a pig farm with a team of anonymous Finnish activists. What I saw was in stark contrast to my impressions of the country. If the dialogue about animal rights was so open and progressive, would the conditions of the farms not reflect public opinion and interest? A common misperception about developed countries is that the standards of care for animals at farms will be higher. Some of the worst farms I've visited around the world have been in the richest countries. We're quick to assume that the inhumane treatment of animals happens elsewhere. I've learned that it happens everywhere.
These images document a mid-sized pig farm, a few hours from Helsinki. We could smell the farm long before we entered its doors. Weeks later, my camera equipment would still smell of urine and feces. As the activists and I walked through the farm, our feet were soon covered with a mix of excrement, urine and pig feed, which has sloughed out into the paths between pens. The pens themselves, crammed with pigs, were also full of this mess. The ammonia in the air made my eyes burn and my nose run. Pigs have such a sensitive sense of smell; I could only imagine what it was like for them to live in this stench with no reprieve.
Some of the pigs we met at the farm were despondent and afraid, while others came over to the bars of the pen to smell us. Some chewed endlessly on the bars of the crowded pens. We noticed a few quiet pigs with umbilical hernias. The industry definition of these hernias is
an abnormal protrusion of an organ or tissue through a defect or natural opening in the covering skin or muscle. Hernias often cause welfare problems as well as economic loss.
Farm Sanctuarys National Shelter Director, Susie Coston, states that "umbilical hernias are seen in the industry a lot and on slaughter lines, though many are pulled to do experimental surgeries. Umbilical hernias are a hole in the body cavity of the pig which can have intestinal loops, directly contacting the skin portion of the hernia. If the hernia is small it can cause adhesions; the intestines actually adhere together and do not allow the pig to digest food, which can strangulate the intestines and kill them. These hernias can cause pigs to die a painful and horrible death, or they can grow large while the intestines are in the sack, and dont seem to necessarily bother them. One problem is that the hernia can rupture and then the intestines and guts come out, which can also cause a very painful death. The industry does not like them because they rupture during slaughter and that contaminates the meat. We all know what is in an intestine. Navel ill, or an infection in the umbilicus is the main cause. Navel ill occurs from infection in the umbilicus due to unsanitary housing conditions, or clipping the umbilical cord too close to the body. Some piglets are genetically predisposed to have this condition, but it is more likely due to unsanitary conditions when the babies are born and genetic predisposition just makes it more likely."
At both small and large farms, pigs are treated as commodities and not as sentient beings who can experience pain and suffering at our hands. In many countries, pigs undergo teeth cutting, tail docking, ear tagging and castration without anesthetic while in our care. They live in cramped and dirty conditions, such as at this Finnish farm, before being transported and slaughtered. My hope is that these images will remind us that the mistreatment of animals happens everywhere, including where we least expect it, and that we all have the power to bring these practices to an end.
This story is being launched in Finland by
, where you can read more information and see additional images about the farm. Elaintehtaat has been a platform for investigations and reportage on the relationship between humans and animals, including extensive coverage about dairy, beef, pig, chicken, egg and fur farms across Finland since 2013.

Fallout 3
Question from incendiary84
Game crashes everytime at same spot?
In a part where you have to get away from the project purify control room with Dr Li, i open the door and it loads a bit but gets stuck everytime. Anyway to prevent this? i would mind losing my progress so far as i have collected almost all bobbleheads and im lvl 18.
My disc has zero scratches.
6 years ago
So i went and loaded previous save from ~2hours before. i ran to the project purify room and a weird glitch happened. The door was open and i was able to go inside and listen the conversaton between "father" and the enclave dude. So there i was trapped and couldnt get out. so it loaded autosave after i died and this time door was closed as it usually is. Now it lets me continue and doesnt crash anymore. Weird times..

I've never looked so goodReviewed on 6/06/2013 Maggie B

I was in happy tears for much of my wedding day and not an eyelash or line of eyeliner was out of place by the end of the night. I had tried on my viel with my dress several times in fittings, but it wasn't until Liz worked her magic that I looked in the mirror and really felt like a bride. My groom was completely speechless when he saw me for the first time. She gave me a little bridal emergency kits for any beautiful emergency that would come up over the night, which i was so thoughtful and a step above. I think she made me look like the best possible version of myself and I couldn't be happier with her services. Not only is she a brilliant styling genius, but she is incredibly sweet and wonderful to talk to the whole time.

Thank you for making me look perfect on my wedding day. I couldn't be happier!

Previous trips to Japan and Korea:
A short video montage about my experiences in South Korea. I intended to collect footage throughout the next year in South Korea and post it online for others to see. At the end of this year I plan to collect this footage together into a single montage that documents my experiences and gives a unique perspective based on my somewhat eccentric interests (see "About Me" below).
I recently entered and WON a chance to be one of the first people with Google Glass. My winning submission (pictured below) explained how I hope to use them in South Korea and around Asia when I move there at the end of this year. I'd love for you to be a part of that experience!
About Me:
- on my 6th and FINAL year at The University of Texas at Austin; majoring in Asian American Studies but have completed coursework in Video Editing, Audio Engineering, and Robotic Lighting
- love the North Korean people and want the best for them; have been working with Liberty in North Korea on my campus for 5 years now and even took a trip to South Korea to meet North Korean refugees
- recently spent a summer in Japan working with a Christian Tsunami/Earthquake relief organization called CRASH; helped them film and document their work
My Winning Submission:
A few More Videos I've Made:
Risks and challenges
I feel quite confident about this project. It is simple and straightforward and I've made many like it. However, this will be the first on Google Glass!
My biggest concern is getting employment in South Korea, but I am quite confident in this area as well. I am leading classes in English here in America already, have gotten my TEFL 120-hour English Teaching certification, and have worked for 5 years in the education department at my university. I am told by many that there are many jobs for me. The only thing I can think of holding me back is nuclear war!
*special thanks to Roger Tam who encouraged me to make this project happen!
**special thanks to Natalie Tsai for photoshopping a pic of me with Glass

I have a general question on calculating dates with php.
What happens if I store a timestamp like this in my database:
$db_timestamp = '2010-01-31 00:00:00';
and then run a daily script that checks if a month has passed since the timestamp was saved in the database:
if ($db_timestamp == make_unix_timestamp(mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m") - 1, date("d"), date("Y")), TRUE, 'eu')))
do something
my problem is that i just realized that this wouldn't work for all dates. in this case 'do something' would not be called in February, since February doesn't have a 31st day. any idea on how to implement something like that?

Helpful Cleaning Tip: Baking Soda and Vinegar Hard Water Stain Remover
There are literally dozens of products out there that state that they will remove hard water stains from chrome and other materials. Most of them work acceptably, but have a tendency to smell unpleasant, be expensive and corrosive. Why not try a greener and cheaper alternative?
Image via Wikipedia
Hard Water Stains
"Hard" water is really water that has an overabundance of some mineral, usually either iron or calcium. When water dries on a surface such as chrome or brass it leaves behinds grayish or whitish mineral deposits that are unsightly and can be difficult to remove.
Most of the cleansers on the market like "Scrubbing BubblesTM" or "CLRTM" have harsh chemicals in them that are less than good for the environment and leave a chemical smell in the air when used. Further, these cleansers, although they work well, are expensive. There is a cheaper and greener alternative.
A Green Solution
Vinegar contains a weak acid that is unlikely to harm the human skin. This weak acid and other chemical compounds in the vinegar combine with the minerals left behind by "hard" water and lift them right off the chrome or brass. Vinegar will not harm the finish of chrome or brass because it does not react chemically with these materials.
For especially tough hard water stains, sometimes it's necessary to mix a paste of baking soda and water to scrub. However, one must be careful doing this because baking soda can scratch brass and chrome leaving unsightly scratch marks.
The Process
To clean bathroom and kitchen fixtures use full strength vinegar. Wipe it on with a towel so that a film of liquid is left behind. If done once a week, just one wipe with a wet vinegar towel and then another wipe with a dry vinegar towel is sufficient to lift hard water stains. For tougher stains let the vinegar sit for a few minutes and then wipe away with a dry towel. Do not use water to rinse off the vinegar. This defeats the purpose of what you're trying to achieve.
Happy Cleaning!!!

I'm considering the Nashbar compact crankset to upgrade my 1976 chrome-moly road bike (already has 700c wheels, 7-speed cassette and other upgraded components). The Nashbar compact crankset comes in 170mm, 172.5mm and 175mm lengths. How do I know which to choose? I'm a 155-pound man who stands 5ft 10, and I'm 50 years old and doing about 100 miles/week on rolling, hilly roads and some bike paths. No racing for me.
Also, I was planning to take apart, clean and rebuild the bottom bracket anyway, with new BBs and cups if they show pitting, regardless of whether I change the crankset. When I do this maintenance on the bottom bracket, can I simply pop the new compact crankset onto the existing old bottom bracket parts? The original crankset is an alloy double 130 bcd made by Takagi, in 170 length.
Would there be an advantage if while I have it taken apart I change it to a cartridge system instead of the loose bearings?
Please advise on what I'll need to install the nashbar compact crank. I've already bought the appropriate tools. Thanks.

Cognition and the Arts: Some Necessary Generalizations
We can hardly consider the subjects of critical thinking, creativity, and cognition as they apply to the arts, without reviewing some of the significant cognitive and behavioral theories from which many of us have drawn insights, conceptual reinforcements, and some much needed inspiration. As there exist valid theories and reports from hundreds of contemporary cognitivists and behaviorists, what appears in this section must be accepted as information from only a relatively small portion of experts past and present. Concepts and theories from the areas of psychology, neurosciences, education, and information theory have added greatly to the study of memory, learning, and cognition.
Eleanor Gibson, one of the outstanding scholars in the area of perception, has scrutinized and reported on Piaget's concept of "conservation." Gibson views the concept as intellectual achievement, and as such it is perfectly suited for application in the arts. She speaks of conservation as it applies to a quality of an object, its permanence or invariance. Recognition of patterns of variance or invariance in art objects is essential in the understanding of musical forms, poetry, dance, paintings, sculpture, and even architecture. Conservation may also apply to the properties of an object, for example, mass, speed, or volume. Conservation takes place more dramatically in the temporal arts, music and dance, than in the plastic arts. It occurs in symphony movements, for example, when the composer presents a main theme and then inserts a development section in which the main theme is varied or transformed but still retains enough of its basic qualities to be identified yet as the main theme extended or developed.

Andy Greenhow
Minister of Stewardship, Congregational Partnership & Belonging
Andy grew up locally but has since lived in Toronto, Canada, Nottingham, England, New Orleans, Louisiana, and Princeton, New Jersey. He did Cinema Studies, Near & Middle Eastern Civilizations, and Political Science in college, which he then promptly utilized as a construction worker rebuilding houses destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. While working with homeowners and short-term volunteer groups in New Orleans, Andy learned a lot about trauma, healing, and telling the story of what God is doing even after incredible tragedy. He enrolled in seminary and, while there, came to BSM as a congregant. He took a year away from seminary and worked at BSM and then returned to seminary hoping that he could work at a place like BSM someday. During his last two years of seminary and until starting at BSM, he worked at one of BSM's partner congregations and his home church, Wayne Presbyterian Church, as their Director of Young Adult Ministries. He cares about things like New Orleans, morose fiction, interesting music, Liverpool Football Club, traveling whenever possible, and the Phillies. He's married to and the greatest admirer of Karen Rohrer, the pastor and co-director of Beacon, a new church development in greater Fishtown. If you're interested in the life of BSM's resident worshiping community or partnering with BSM because of your faith commitments, he would love to speak with you.

Bill Golderer
Convening Minister
Bill is the founding pastor and convener of the Broad Street Ministry in Philadelphia. BSM is an innovative ministry that emphasizes hospitable outreach, civic involvement, and creative expression. Prior to that, Bill served as the founding Director of the Center for Church Life at Auburn Theological Seminary in New York City where he was also a lecturer in Reformed theology at Union Theological Seminary whose campus Auburn shares. Auburn and Union have long been pioneers on the landscape of bringing a progressive theology to bear upon and be relevant to the culture. His work at Auburn also included creating opportunities for multifaith understanding in our post-9/11 world, and addressing the coming crisis of leadership that will confront the church in the coming decades. To learn more about the work of Auburn Seminary, visit www.auburnsem.org. Prior to that, Bill served as Associate Pastor for Youth, Young Adult and Public Church Ministry at the Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago. His time there was spent mainly integrating the Gospel with the demands of everyday life through fellowship, advocacy/outreach programs, public forums, and discernment exercises. While serving in Chicago, Bill helped to found a national network of Presbyterian clergy under the age of 40–called the 7 percent. The group takes its name from the statistic that only 7 percent of clergy currently serving the Presbyterian Church U.S.A are under the age of 40. To learn more about the ministry of Fourth Church, visit www.fourthchurch.org. To learn more about the 7 percent, visit www.bmbweb.com/sevenpercent/.
In 2009, Bill extended his pastoral ministry in Philadelphia when he became the Pastor of Arch Street Presbyterian Church. Since 1851, Arch Street Presbyterian has been a worshiping congregation in the heart of Center City Philadelphia. Since Bill has arrived and assembled a dynamic team of lay and professional leadership, ASPC has undergone a rapid and dramatic revitalization. The congregation aims to be a dynamic Sunday morning worshiping community, a church that welcomes children and families of every configuration, a church that meets the needs of the people who work in the buildings around it (and those who wish they were employed there) as well as a center for arts and culture. To learn more about ASPC, please visit: www.archstreetpres.org. His energies away from ministry are devoted to having fun with his wife, Julie, reading, cooking, manically listening to sports radio, and marveling at the wonder that are his sons, Sebastian and Deacon.

Guest Services Manager
Brittany grew up in Lancaster County, went to Eastern University to study Elementary Ed, soon fell in love with Philly and Sociology and traded her farm fields for city streets. Her passion for food has been amplified by her proximity to the Italian market and plethora of South Philly restaurants. She is happiest when wandering around new places and the great outdoors, most recently trying her hand at organic farming in Ecuador this past fall. She is excited to be practicing her ABCs by helping with the mail sorting as BSM's newest postmaster general.

Carrie Kitchen-Santiago
Chief Operating Officer
Carrie is a native of Philadelphia and has lived and worked in the region all of her life except for a brief stint in Washington D.C. very early in her career. She is passionate about addressing the causes and impacts of urban poverty and has dedicated her career to this pursuit. She has 17 years of program and project management experience, primarily related to social services, and has a particular expertise in workforce development programming and policy. Prior to coming to the Broad Street Ministry, Carrie served as the Sr. Director of Training and Policy at the Philadelphia Workforce Development Corporation, a large non-profit agency that oversees a majority of the public funding that comes to the City for job training and employment assistance programming. At PWDC Carrie led a department that identified and implemented strategies and tools for building capacity among PWDC's sub-contractors to run workforce development programs more effectively. She also forged partnerships with systems and organizations across Philadelphia in order to leverage resources and enhance the ability of PWDC and its sub-contractors to serve over 21,000 welfare recipients per year. In addition, Carrie conducted public policy research, analysis and education related to welfare and poverty. Prior to that, Carrie worked in several capacities for Congreso, one of the largest social services agencies in Greater Philadelphia serving the Philadelphia Latino community. At Congreso Carrie conducted fundraising activities and developed and managed education, training and employment placement programs for low-income youth and adults. Prior to that, Carrie worked for the Center for Greater Philadelphia at the University of Pennsylvania, a nonprofit agency dedicated to facilitating regional cooperation between Philadelphia and the suburbs. At the Center Carrie designed and managed the Greater Philadelphia High school Partnership, a service-learning program that brought over 800 urban and suburban students together from 80 schools across the region to design and carry out community-service projects. In a radio address to the nation, former President Clinton singled out the Partnership, calling it a "stunning success" and a "model for the nation." The Walt Whitman Center for the Culture and Politics of Democracy at Rutgers University praised the Partnership as "an innovator in the field of service learning." Carrie has a Masters degree in Public Affairs and Urban and Regional Planning from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University and Bachelors of Arts degree in American History from the University of Pennsylvania. Carrie is proud to represent and serve Pennsylvania on the Board of Directors for the National Association of Workforce Development Professionals (NAWDP), and when not working, enjoys spending time with her husband, Rob (usually scheming how they can get more sleep), playing with her two, very energetic, young sons, Marcos and Andres, and vigorously lifting weights at the gym so that she can survive her sons using her as a human jungle gym. Before having kids, when Carrie actually had an exciting personal life, she enjoyed hiking and Latin dancing with her husband and was a director, writer and performer in an all-female, musical comedy troupe.

David Norse
The past year has been an exciting one for David. In January David was ordained as a Presbyterian Pastor, he started the LGBTQ Fellowship that meets once a month after worship, and he piloted a faith-and-doubt spirituality group with LGBTQ young people who are at high risk of human trafficking, sex work, and other forms of sexual coercion. "It has been an exciting year, and I can't wait to see what's in store for my second!"
A graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary, David grew up in Sherwood, Oregon. He is an Eagle Scout and attended Lewis & Clark College in Portland, both experiences that cultivated a deep passion for the wholeness that God's wilderness provides.
David knew he had found a church home when he walked in and saw windmills hanging from the sealing. "I grew up in a Presbyterian church with a liturgical artist, and so for me art and worship have always been connected." David is most excited though to be a part of an organization that is committed to human thriving. He is a gifted pastoral care provider, and understands pastoral presence as a necessary part of Broad Street welcoming not only our faith community, but also our guests at breaking bread and during mail hours. David functions as connective tissue within our faith community, fostering opportunities for those who gather for worship to care for one another and to be cared for by our pastoral staff. He will also be working with the hospitality initiative at BSM. "The relationship between the worshiping community and our social services, how one informs and supports the other, is the most compelling part of this place for me. Broad Street Ministry lives out my deepest hopes for the Church, and God has even bolder dreams for us as disciples, dreams I feel honored to help become reality."

David Van Houten
Dean, Center for Subversive Theology
"I'm just some skinny white guy from west of West Philly." I run to avoid reality and am learning how to do yoga to counter the physical and mental effects of over 30 years of running. Caffeine is my drug of choice and I'm addicted to buying books. I have two sons who remind me daily what's real, but aren't really sure what I do. I'll follow my wife wherever she goes (because she's my corporate sponsor). I specialize in non-paying jobs and like poetry and sad, angry music. My best friend says I'm too cynical to be religious. I've studied Spanish, Greek, Hebrew, Latin, French and German but have forgotten almost everything I've learned and still struggle to write a coherent English sentence. When I grow up I want to be rap star, yeah, because I'm just another white man with a Ph.D, trained in the obscure art of theology. You'll never see my face on mtv, no, I studied at a school of divinity. Like I said before, I can't dance, I can't sing. I'm a poser, fake, imposter, Just like my bling bling. And I almost forgot, Calvin is my co-pilot.

Devin Johns
Coordinator of the Youth Initiative & Alternative Breaks
A born and raised Presbyterian, I attended Wayside Presbyterian Church in Erie, PA. With Wayside's youth group, I attended BSM's Youth Initiative twice as a participant. I attended the College of Wooster in Ohio where I studied English and Anthropology. Not having had enough of BSM as a youth, I worked on Youth Initiative Summer Staff in 2012 and 2014, following my graduation from Wooster. From September 2014 to March 2015, I served as a Young Adult Volunteer through PC(USA) in Lusaka, Zambia as a community school teacher. When I'm not studying or working, you'll find me reading and writing while drinking excessive amounts of coffee at a Philly coffeeshop or running along the Schuylkill.

Two years later and officially over the rural life, she and her super hot partner decided to move to Philadelphia where she found Broad Street Ministry a year later! And the rest, folks, was history.

Program Associate
Samantha was born and raised in northwestern Pennsylvania. She attended Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania, and majored in Physics. During her last year of college, she felt a pull to ministry. Unsure of where it would lead, she made a leap of faith and left physics for seminary. She graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary in May with a Masters of Divinity. While she was there, she focused on community and relationship building. She places great importance on building meaningful partnerships in the community and sincere relationships with those whom she serves as well as those who serve her. Her hope is that the pastoral residency program at BSM will provide her with opportunities to grow professionally, spiritually, and personally as she joins the ministry at BSM that touches so many lives in Philadelphia. She understands the mission of BSM to be a response to economic, racial, and gender-based injustice. She hopes that working at BSM will help her to gain the experience, language, and wisdom needed to be a prophetic preacher who speaks against injustice, leads a church to do the work of the kingdom, and brings a glimpse of hope to a dark and lonely world.

Sous Chef
TC has been long in BSM's orbit, first coming when Dayton Castleman hung the windmills in the sanctuary back in 2006, occasionally volunteering for the kitchen before finally coming aboard as interim and then permanent Sous Chef in October 2014. He has been a professional cook since 2007, before which he slogged through the office environment at a mortgage giant, sold books in a traveling fair, landscaped suburban mansions, and bought cigarettes from gas stations as a secret shopper. All things being equal, he prefers work where he can stay on his feet and make things, and where he has to shower at the end of the day rather than the beginning. He has been married since 2009 to the brilliant and curly-coifed Katie Martin, who harbors no ill will or jealousy with his much longer and only comparable relationship with BSM's Minister of Stewardship, Congregational Partnership & Belonging, a childhood pal and adulthood confidant and best man. TC holds a degree in Philosophy from Temple University, proudly translated Vergil's Aeneid into English when he was 18, and when not at Broad Street can be found wandering the city with his dreadlocked Bergamasco, running, hiking, reading, and baking bread.

"Used it with some thin cut chicken breasts and had excellent flavor with the grill marks. Can see why it would be great with thighs or wings."
"I have to admit, I tried this recipe because I thought the name was so cute. I was going to a football party so I used wings instead of thighs. It was a big hit. They licked the platter clean!"
"My family loves this recipe. I reduced the amount of ingredients to fit 4 boneless chicken breast and I have an indoor grill. Favor is fabulous"
"I needed to come up with a quick dinner tonight. A friend posted this recipe on her FB page and it looked delicious. I used chicken breast instead of thighs and heated the marinade to pour over the chicken. I also used it on the chicken as it cooked on my stove top grill pan. It was a big hit! I served it over RiceARoni chicken flavored pasta. It would've been better had I had the time to allow it to marinate. This one's a keeper for sure!"
"Hands down, the best grilled chicken I've ever eaten. I didn't change a thing, other than scaling back all quantities for less chicken. The full recipe will be fantastic for summer get-togethers with more of a crowd. I'm already imagining using some of the basting sauce on some grilled pineapple next time!"
