I'm digging several of those sold by night-gear.com:
Pit zips or removable sleeves seem essential - I'm not sure I need or want drop tails (I have fenders), hood, or 3M tape.
Performance.com has a couple Illuminite jackets as well, though they don't offer much description.
Any recommendations for these or other commuter jackets?

Thursday, January 03, 2013
By Mark Pazniokas and Arielle Levin Beckertwww.ctmirror.org
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy today outlined a broad approach to the Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown that claimed 26 lives, convening an expert panel that will explore relevant issues of gun control, school security and mental health.
The governor named Hamden Mayor Scott Jackson to lead the Sandy Hook Advisory Commission, whose 15 members will be asked to make a first round of recommendations by March 15, nearly three months before the General Assembly's adjournment deadline of midnight June 9.
On the same day that Sandy Hook Elementary students returned to classes in a hastily outfitted surplus school in neighboring Monroe, Malloy said he wants to begin devising policy changes in response to the mass shooting.
"We don't know yet the underlying cause behind this tragedy, and we probably never will," Malloy said. "But that can't be an excuse for inaction. I want the commission to have the ability to study every detail, so they can help craft meaningful legislative and policy changes."

FDA Medwatch Alert: Fluoroquinolone Antibacterial Drugs: Drug Safety Communication - FDA Advises Restricting Use for Certain Uncomplicated Infections
Posted 11 days ago by Drugs.com
ISSUE: FDA is advising that the serious side effects associated with fluoroquinolone antibacterial drugs generally outweigh the benefits for patients with sinusitis, bronchitis, and uncomplicated urinary tract infections who have other treatment options. For patients with these conditions, fluoroquinolones should be reserved for those who do not have alternative treatment options. An FDA safety review has shown that fluoroquinolones when used systemically (i.e. tablets, capsules, and injectable) are associated with disabling and potentially permanent serious side effects that can occur together. These side effects can involve the tendons, muscles, joints, nerves, and central nervous system. As a result, FDA is requiring the drug labels and Medication Guides for all fluoroquinolone antibacterial drugs to be updated to reflect this new safety information. FDA is continuing to investigate ... Read more

Too Many People Still Take Unneeded Antibiotics: Study
Posted 3 May 2016 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, May 3, 2016 – Nearly one-third of the antibiotics prescribed in the United States aren't appropriate for the conditions being treated, a new federal government study shows. "We were able to conclude that at least 30 percent of the antibiotics that are given in doctors' offices, emergency departments and hospital-based clinics are unnecessary, meaning that no antibiotics were needed at all," said lead researcher Dr. Katherine Fleming-Dutra. Such misuse has helped fuel the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which infect 2 million Americans and kill 23,000 every year, said Fleming-Dutra, a pediatrician and epidemiologist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Antibiotics are most misused in the treatment of short-term respiratory conditions, such as colds, bronchitis, sore throats, and sinus and ear infections, the researchers reported. "About half of ...

Drug Makers, Governments Sign Deal to Fight Drug-Resistant Infections
Posted 21 Jan 2016 by Drugs.com
A groundbreaking agreement between the drug industry and governments to work together to fight drug-resistant "superbugs" is expected to be announced Thursday. Under the deal, 74 drug makers, 11 diagnostic test makers, and nine industry groups pledge to work with each other and 16 countries to prevent and improve treatment of drug-resistant infections, the Associated Press reported. These infections are a serious threat to millions of people worldwide and a number of factors contribute to the problem, including overuse of antibiotics, declining drug industry research, and few new medicines to combat bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi. The new deal – scheduled to be announced at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland – is the first to outline how the drug industry and governments should team up to prevent more drugs from becoming ineffective, to spur development of new ...

Patients Can Self-Administer IV Antibiotics at Home: Study
Posted 25 Dec 2015 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Dec. 24, 2015 – Patients can be taught to safely self-administer long-term intravenous antibiotics at home, without the help of a health care worker, a new study suggests. The finding could have a significant impact on uninsured patients who might otherwise spend weeks in a hospital receiving IV care, according to researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. "This really taps into human potential, giving a voice to the uninsured at the same time that it offers an opportunity for enormous cost savings to hospitals," study first author Dr. Kavita Bhavan, assistant professor of internal medicine, said in a medical center news release. Some infections require treatment with IV antibiotics for six weeks or more. Patients with insurance typically go home or to a nursing home and have their antibiotics administered by a home health care worker or ... Read more

Health Tip: Understanding Antibiotics
Posted 9 Dec 2015 by Drugs.com
-- By taking an antibiotic as prescribed, you can get well faster and help prevent germs from becoming resistant to your medication. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offers these antibiotic guidelines: Never skip a dose of antibiotic. Always take it on schedule, as directed. Never stop taking an antibiotic early. Always take the entire prescription, unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Never save any antibiotic medication for a future illness. Never take an antibiotic that was prescribed for another person. Read more

Antibiotics May Not Help After 'Complicated' Appendectomy
Posted 2 Nov 2015 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Nov. 2, 2015 – Antibiotics may not reduce the risk of infections in patients who undergo what's known as a "complicated" appendix removal, a new study finds. "The traditional teaching is that all patients with complicated appendicitis receive post-operative antibiotics to reduce the risk of wound infection or deep organ space infection," study lead author Dennis Kim, of the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute, explained in an institute news release. But is that advisory warranted? To find out, Kim's team tracked five-year outcomes for 410 patients. All of the patients had complicated appendectomies, meaning that their appendix was found to be perforated or gangrenous. About two-thirds of the patients received antibiotics after surgery. Those who received antibiotics had no fewer infections, Kim's team said, and they stayed in hospital an average of one day longer than ... Read more

Better Control of Drug-Resistant Germs Could Save Thousands of Lives: CDC
Posted 4 Aug 2015 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Aug. 4, 2015 – An immediate, focused effort to halt the spread of antibiotic-resistant germs could save tens of thousands of lives and prevent hundreds of thousands of new infections over the next five years, a new government report suggests. As many as 37,000 lives could be saved, and 619,000 new infections prevented, if community health departments and health care facilities form tight support networks to quickly identify and address emerging outbreaks of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, said report author Dr. John Jernigan. He directs the Office of HAI (Health care-Associated Infections) Prevention Research and Evaluation at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "When health care facilities and health departments in a community work together to share information about resistance, and then use that information to guide and target prevention efforts, then we ...

Study Casts Doubt on Use of Common Antibiotic for UTIs in Women
Posted 30 Apr 2015 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, April 30, 2015 – The antibiotic most commonly prescribed for bladder and other urinary tract infections, nitrofurantoin, may not be the most effective option, new research suggests. More than 25 percent of older adults have reduced kidney function, and bladder infections are a common complaint. Doctors often turn to nitrofurantoin to treat these and other urinary tract infections (UTIs), but concerns have been raised about the ability of the drug to reach the urinary tract and target bacteria that causes bladder infections, especially in those with poor kidney function. The new Canadian research was led by Dr. Amit Garg, a nephrologist at Western University in London, Ontario. His team compared the benefits of nitrofurantoin to the effectiveness of other commonly used antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin ("Cipro") and norfloxicin. The study, published recently in the Canadian ... Read more

Study Ties Frequent Antibiotic Use to Higher Odds for Type 2 Diabetes
Posted 25 Mar 2015 by Drugs.com
WEDNESDAY, March 25, 2015 – Repeated use of certain antibiotics may increase a person's risk for type 2 diabetes, a new study suggests. Researchers analyzed data from one million people in the United Kingdom and found that those who were prescribed at least two courses of four types of antibiotics – penicillins, cephalosporins, quinolones and macrolides – were more likely to develop diabetes. The risk of diabetes rose with the number of antibiotics prescribed, the findings showed. Two to five courses of a penicillin increased the risk of diabetes by 8 percent, while more than five courses increased the risk by 23 percent. Two to five courses of quinolones increased the risk of diabetes by 15 percent, and more than five courses increased the risk by 37 percent, the study found. The higher risk of diabetes associated with the antibiotics was determined after adjusting for other ... Read more

Medicines Are Biggest Culprit in Fatal Allergic Reactions: Study
Posted 10 Oct 2014 by Drugs.com
THURSDAY, Oct. 9, 2014 – Although food allergies have garnered a lot of attention lately, a new study reports that medications are actually the biggest cause of sudden deaths related to allergy. Over a little more than a decade, nearly 60 percent of the allergy-related deaths were caused by medications, while less than 7 percent were caused by food allergies, the study found. "Medications can be dangerous," said study researcher Dr. Elina Jerschow, director of the Drug Allergy Center at Montefiore Medical Center and assistant professor of medicine at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in New York City. While research from other countries has reported medications as a major culprit in anaphylaxis-related deaths, Jerschow said, the problem has been less defined in the United States. One reason is that there is no national registry for anaphylaxis deaths, she said. The study was ... Read more

Hospitals' High Antibiotic Use May Boost Germs' Resistance: Study
Posted 7 Oct 2014 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Oct. 7, 2014 – About half of all U.S. hospital patients receive antibiotics, and these drugs are commonly the ones more likely to promote the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, a new study found. "This is where the bad bugs spread, in the hospitals, because so many people are receiving antibiotics, and one of the only things that can spread are the antibiotic-resistant bugs," said Dr. Eli Perencevich, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. "We have to figure out better ways to reduce excess antibiotic use, and one way to do that is to get better at making diagnoses," he added. The study identified how many of more than 11,000 patients received antibiotics on a given day at one of 183 hospitals throughout the United States in 2011. The researchers found that 50 percent of these patients got at least one antibiotic, and ... Read more

Kids Prescribed Antibiotics Twice as Often as Needed, Study Finds
Posted 15 Sep 2014 by Drugs.com
MONDAY, Sept. 15, 2014 – Pediatricians prescribe antibiotics about twice as often as they're actually needed for children with ear and throat infections, a new study indicates. More than 11 million antibiotic prescriptions written each year for children and teens may be unnecessary, according to researchers from University of Washington and Seattle Children's Hospital. This excess antibiotic use not only fails to eradicate children's viral illnesses, researchers said, but supports the dangerous evolution of bacteria toward antibiotic resistance. "I think it's well-known that we prescribers overprescribe antibiotics, and our intent was to put a number on how often we're doing that," said study author Dr. Matthew Kronman, an assistant professor of infectious diseases at Seattle Children's Hospital. "But as we found out, there's really been no change in this [situation] over the last ... Read more

Antibiotic Resistance Among Foodborne-Illness Germs a Mixed Bag: CDC
Posted 1 Jul 2014 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, July 1, 2014 – There's good news and bad news about antibiotic resistance among the germs that cause foodborne illnesses, a new U.S. government report released Tuesday shows. "Our latest data show some progress in reducing resistance among some germs that make people sick, but unfortunately we're also seeing greater resistance in some pathogens, like certain types of salmonella," Dr. Robert Tauxe, deputy director of the division of foodborne, waterborne and environmental diseases at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in an agency news release. Each year, antibiotic-resistant infections from foodborne germs cause about 430,000 illnesses in the United States, according to the CDC. The agency's latest data, from 2012, show that multidrug-resistant salmonella, which causes about 100,000 illnesses a year, decreased during the past 10 years and resistance to ... Read more

U.S. Hospitals Overuse, Misuse Antibiotics, CDC Says
Posted 4 Mar 2014 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, March 4, 2014 – Many hospitals across the United States overuse or misuse antibiotics, which fuels the growth of drug-resistant bacteria, federal health officials warned Tuesday. Doctors in some hospitals prescribe three times more antibiotics than doctors in the same departments at other medical centers, according to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "We have to protect patients by protecting antibiotics," CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said during a noon press briefing Tuesday. "The drugs we have today are in danger, and any new drugs we get could be lost just as quickly if we don't improve the way we prescribe and use them." The agency outlined ways hospitals can improve their prescribing practices through recommended "antibiotic stewardship" programs. The CDC also is seeking a $30 million increase in the fiscal 2015 budget to help ... Read more

Study Clears Certain Antibiotics of Serious Eye Risk
Posted 26 Nov 2013 by Drugs.com
TUESDAY, Nov. 26, 2013 – Cipro and other drugs in the same class of antibiotics don't appear to raise the risk of an eye problem called retinal detachment, according to a new study that contradicts previous research. Retinal detachment – separation of the retina from its connection to the back of the eye – can cause vision loss. A group of researchers recently concluded that use of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones was associated with a significantly increased risk of retinal detachment. This new study challenges that finding. The latest investigation involved an analysis of data from millions of people in Denmark. Of nearly 600 people diagnosed with retinal detachment, 72 had used fluoroquinolones. Most had taken Cipro (ciprofloxacin), while others had used ofloxacin (Floxin, Ocuflox), fleroxacin (Quinodis and Megalocin) or moxifloxacin (Moxeza, Avelox, Vigamox). People who used ... Read more

NGO Walk Free is challenging firms including Apple and HSBC to tackle trafficking within Burma's emerging private sector
The tiny drinks stall Chit Htet had been running for the past few years in Rangoon was doing so poorly that when the 35-year-old's sister-in-law promised her a job in Burma's southern province, Chit Htet didn't think twice.
But she had been duped. After taking food and drink offered to her by the sister-in-law, Chit Htet fell asleep - and woke up to discover she had been smuggled into Thailand, where, her sister-in-law said, she would now be working to "pay off her job-placement debts" in a pineapple factory. "I was given 300 baht [£6] every 15 days as salary but had to pay for my own water, electricity and rent, which meant that I could only afford to eat one egg a day - half at breakfast and half at dinner," says Chit Htet.
Working in the factory with thousands of others - at least 1,000 of whom she estimated to be Burmese nationals like herself, and many of whom she says had been trafficked by her own sister-in-law - Chit Htet plotted her escape. Guards patrolled the compound and workers were only allowed out in escorted minivans to the local market. But one day she found a Thai colleague's mobile lying around and made the call to police that freed her.[view whole blog post ]

Will recession-starved Vancouver be held liable for a highly intoxicated driver who drove the wrong way on state Highway 14 in January and hit three cars, killing herself and injuring two people?
Brian and Lisa Gonsalves, the Camas couple who were badly injured by a drunken wrong-way driver on the freeway in Vancouver, have filed claims totaling $6 million against the city, the state of Washington and Clark County.
The claims, filed earlier this month, include copies of the Washington State Patrol accident report dealing with the 4:35 p.m. Jan. 9 head-on crash. Brian Gonsalves, a businessman, had been driving the couple's Acura sedan west approaching Grand Boulevard. He was on a "date night" with his wife that was to include dinner and a hockey game.
Sheila M. Walls, 29, was driving east in the westbound lanes when she crashed her Honda Accord into the Gonsalves' car and two others. Walls died in the crash. Her blood alcohol level was 0.20, more than twice the legal DUI threshold of 0.08, state troopers said later.
Troopers have said it's possible that Walls, who had left a large memorial party at The Hilton Vancouver Washington and Esther Short Park, blundered onto Highway 14 at its offramp for westbound drivers onto C Street in downtown Vancouver. That's what a trucker told troopers he saw.
A similar crash happened there on July 16, as a Vancouver police officer watched another allegedly impaired wrong-way driver head up the offramp at C Street and collide with another vehicle. Several people were hurt.
Lisa Gonsalves later filed a request with the Washington Department of Transportation, asking officials to consider ways of making it less likely that drivers will mistakenly enter the highway the wrong way at C Street.
In response to the crashes, city and state transportation officials have investigated the traffic signs and other controls on C Street by the offramp, and have said the traffic controls meet state and federal standards.
But in an update early this month, state and city officials said they were looking into additional ways to deter wrong-way drivers there.
Asked late this month whether officials had reached any decisions about C Street, city public works spokeswoman Loretta Callahan said "this is now a legal matter" and advised The Columbian to contact Assistant City Attorney Dan Lloyd.
The Gonsalves' tort claim, filed about two weeks ago, is a legal prerequisite to suing a government entity, Lloyd said.
The claim mentions the Gonvalves' injuries in the crash and asks for $2 million for the husband and $4 million for the wife.
Brian Gonsalves' right heel was shattered in 20 places, from taking the impact while jammed against the brake pedal, he said.
Lisa Gonsalves was critically injured with neck, spine, wrist and abdominal injuries, state troopers and hospital officials said at the time.
Internal injuries and bleeding meant that part of her small intestine had to be removed. One of her vertebrae in her mid-back was shattered and one in her neck was cracked. Her collarbone and one wrist were broken, and she was covered in bruises, her husband said.
The Gonsalveses told The Columbian early this month that their medical costs, some covered by insurance and some not, totaled more than $300,000 — and that several months later they still have surgeons' metalware in their bodies and suffer pain from their injuries.
Lloyd said transportation officials make roads as safe as possible, but there are limits what they can do when drunken drivers are involved.
"What caused this crash was alcohol," Lloyd said in response to the claim. "It is really tragic that Ms. Walls drank too much and got behind the wheel. It's tragic what happened to (the Gonsalveses), but the responsibility lies with Ms. Walls."
As for C Street, Lloyd said: "It's well-signed. There are numerous warnings to drivers saying, 'This is the wrong way, do not enter.' Sober people don't have problems with it."
Lloyd said city officials are not required to make any legal response to the claim. He said the Gonsalveses must wait 60 days after filing the claim before filing a lawsuit in court.
Before the tort claim was filed, officials said they were considering these possible changes:
• More signs and refreshed markings.
• Moving where C Street goes from one-way to two-way to a point north of Seventh Street.
• Installing large, solar-powered flashing red lights on wrong-way warning signs.

SDRPHY - XML Description for SDR Physical Layer
Software defined radio hardware has matured to a point where wide deployment is called for. Unfortunately, the standardization efforts have not yet achieved maturity. Military users are not reaping the benefits of SDR due to excessively complex software development and tight coupling between hardware and software. This paper proposes a standard for describing the physical layer - the waveforms. The SDRPHY standard provides a hardware-agnostic approach to describing the desired waveform and for querying the capabilities of an SDR. It is complementary and can build upon existing standards such as JTRS/SCA and STRS. All functionality is based on XML, with XML schemas used to specify capabilities. A hardware-specific interpreter provides an interface between the XML and SDR implementation.

Inflation Targeting Makes Fed Comeback
After being dormant for many months, inflation targeting is back as a serious option at the Federal Reserve.
Ironically, now it's the risk of outright price declines known as deflation, and not avoiding rapid inflation, that has given new momentum to advocates.
"The argument for inflation targeting now is much easier to make" with the U.S. facing a "massive deflationary shock," said former Fed governor Frederic Mishkin, who left the Fed four months ago to return to Columbia University.
Mishkin and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke have championed inflation targets as a way to anchor expectations and provide for better economic outcomes. But momentum for the Fed adopting targets was thwarted in 2007 first by Congressional opposition and then the financial crisis.
Mishkin isn't alone in still seeing their merits. In the minutes of the Dec. 16 FOMC meeting, released Tuesday, officials discussed as a potential communications tool "a more explicit indication of their views on what longer-run rate of inflation would best promote their goals of maximum employment and price stability."
"The added clarity in that regard might help forestall the development of expectations that inflation would decline below desired levels, and hence keep real interest rates low and support aggregate demand," according to the minutes.
In other words, a commitment to an inflation target, say annual growth of 1.5% to 2%, would help keep prices from falling outright and prevent the kind of economic chaos that plagued Japan in the 1990s and the U.S. during the Great Depression.
"The key issue here is the management of expectations," said Mishkin, who co-wrote a book on inflation targeting with Bernanke when both were academics a decade ago. "It's just as disastrous if inflation expectations get unanchored in the negative direction…this is exactly what happened in Japan."
Until recently inflation targeting was largely seen the opposite way — as an anti-inflation tool. And Congress, particularly House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D., Mass.), never warmed to the idea, since inflation targets in that context suggested tighter monetary policy and, critics said, an elevation of price stability over full employment as the Fed's primary objective.
The Fed ultimately scrapped official targets and instead in late 2007 extended their inflation forecast horizon from two to three years and seemed to encourage financial markets to view that third year as a de facto objective.
But it never really stuck, and in their latest set of economic forecasts in late October, officials admitted their 2011 inflation forecast of 1.4% to 1.7% might be a "bit below" their assessment of what's consistent with price stability and maximum employment.
"The horizon is not long enough" to substitute for a target, Mishkin said.
Of course, by late 2007 the very notion of debating inflation targets seemed like a luxury as the Fed shifted gears to address collapsing housing and credit markets.
But the question remains: do inflation targets, which are used by many other central banks including the European Central Bank (where deflation seems less of a risk), make sense for the Fed?
Vincent Reinhart, who headed the Fed's monetary affairs division during the early days of the debate in 2006 and 2007, thinks they might. "It's gone from theory to a useful governing device," he said.
Reinhart explained that Bernanke faces two problems now that the Fed has effectively shifted from interest rates to quantitative easing as a means to stimulate the economy: communication and governance. The former involves how to explain the purpose of the Fed's myriad credit programs and resulting expansion of bank reserves. The latter involves the division of responsibilities between the Washington-based Fed Board and the Federal Open Market Committee that includes regional bank presidents.
Inflation targets address both.
When official interest rates are as near zero as they are now, the Fed can't offset deflationary forces with interest rate cuts to keep inflation-adjusted private borrowing costs down. But an inflation target would convey to the public that officials will use other means, like the Fed's balance sheet, to prevent prices from falling and also keep inflation expectations from falling too low.
A target might also ease concerns that expansionary fiscal and monetary policy now will sow the seeds of an inflationary outbreak later, and would provide officials a framework with which to eventually unwind their credit programs and rate reductions.
Targets might also head off any friction between the Board of Governors and FOMC. According to Tuesday's minutes, a "few" FOMC participants wanted the Fed to consider reserve targets to better coordinate between the Board — which sets new lending facilities — and the FOMC, which controls open market operations.
And the Fed can move quickly if it wants. "The Fed could announce (an inflation target) as part of the evolution of the communications strategy," that Bernanke unveiled in November 2007, Mishkin said.
Officials would have a couple of options. They could simply extend the forecast horizon even further to a fourth or fifth year, in order to make it more clear to the public that their forecast range represents a long-term target. Or they could announce a more explicit FOMC-determined objective.
A challenge for the Fed would be whether to explicitly tie policy, whether via interest rates or quantitative easing, to that target or simply leave it as a forecast that may or may not be achieved.
Mishkin doesn't regret not sticking around the Fed for this inflation target go-around, even if the odds of success seem higher than we he was a policymaker. "From a personal viewpoint, you can't get depressed when you have ideas and they don't get implemented," Mishkin said. "Ideas take a long time to have an impact," and "when the right time is there, those ideas can be very powerful."
And even if it's for reasons no one would have imagined a few months ago, inflation targeting's time may be now.
"I don't see the dynamics [of the inflation targeting debate] being fundamentally different," Reinhart said, but "there's a tactical reason to do it right now, and sometimes tactics dominate." –Brian Blackstone

Sorry for not included any example data for my problem. I couldn't find a way to easily produce an example shape file. Hopefully, experienced users of
ggplot can see what I'd like to do from the description below.
I've got:
data.frameX with information about sample plots (
var4, …)
A polygon shapefile
Ywith spatial information for the sample plots
Importation of the shapefile
Y (with
maptools) and
fortifying as
ggplot2) works fine.
X to
X_melted works equally fine.
Z and
X_melted to
mapdf works as well.
That means that now we have a
data.frame in long form with spatial information and
var3, …
Now I want to plot this data frame like this:
pl1 <- ggplot(mapdf,aes(long,lat),group=group)
pl1 <- pl1 + geom_polygon(aes(group=group,fill=value),colour="black")
pl1 <- pl1 + facet_grid(variable ~ .)
pl1 <- pl1 + coord_equal(ratio = 1)
The result is a nice plot with one panel for each variable. The maps of the panels are identical, but fill colour varies with the values of the variables. Up to now, everything works like a charm… with one problem:
The variables have different min and max values. For example
var1 goes from
0 to
var2 from
0 to
var3 from
5 to
10, etc. In that example, the legend for the fill colour goes from
0 to
var2 is nicely drawn, but
var1 and
var3 are basically in the same colour.
Is there a way I could use a different legend for each panel of the facet? Or is this simply not (yet) possible with
facet_wrap or
facet_grid in
I could make individual plots for each variable and join them with viewports, but there a plenty of variables and this would be a lot of work.
Or is there maybe another package or method I could use to accomplish what I'd like to do?
And help would be very much appreciated. :)
With the help of the
ggplot2-package description, I constructed an example that illustrates my problem:
ids <- factor(c("1.1", "2.1", "1.2", "2.2", "1.3", "2.3"))
values <- data.frame(
id = ids,
val1 = cumsum(runif(6, max = 0.5)),
val2 = cumsum(runif(6, max = 50))
positions <- data.frame(
id = rep(ids, each = 4),
x = c(2, 1, 1.1, 2.2, 1, 0, 0.3, 1.1, 2.2, 1.1, 1.2, 2.5, 1.1, 0.3,
0.5, 1.2, 2.5, 1.2, 1.3, 2.7, 1.2, 0.5, 0.6, 1.3),
y = c(-0.5, 0, 1, 0.5, 0, 0.5, 1.5, 1, 0.5, 1, 2.1, 1.7, 1, 1.5,
2.2, 2.1, 1.7, 2.1, 3.2, 2.8, 2.1, 2.2, 3.3, 3.2)
values <- melt(values)
datapoly <- merge(values, positions, by=c("id"))
p <- ggplot(datapoly, aes(x=x, y=y)) + geom_polygon(aes(fill=value, group=id),colour="black")
p <- p + facet_wrap(~ variable)
The panel on the right illustrates different values for
var2 on the map. On the panel on the left however, all polygons have the same colour. This is logical, because only one colour gradient is used for all panels. Could I use a different colour gradient for each panel?

Mumbai, Oct 11 (IANS) Bhupen Hazarika, the 82-year-old veteran Assamese composer whose health has been rapidly declining, had an unexpected surprise on his birthday. He received a message from Lata Mangeshkar saying she wanted to meet him.
'Dada (Bhupen Hazarika) and Lata didi go back a long way. She has sung for him in Assamese, Bengali and Hindi. And Dada simply adores her. When he got the message from Didi it was like a signal from heaven. They met after decades,' Kalpana Lazmi, Hazarika's protegee, told IANS.
Hazarika turned 82 on Sep 8. The two stalwarts met at Lata's home at Prabhu Kunj.
'The meeting was so emotional, so genuine, I broke down. Didi was so concerned about Dada's failing health. She offered all help to him at her hospital in Pune. She also said, 'Dada, the film industry is falling apart. People like you and I are becoming legacies of the past'.'
'Dada has always had a very soft corner for Didi and he'll carry this meeting with him forever,' Lazmi said. 'On the way back from the meeting he told me, 'I'm so blessed to have shared a unique friendship with Lata'.'
Recently, plans to celebrate Lata's 80th birthday were called off when singer Mahendra Kapoor died a day before.
'Every year Lataji is reminded of the passing forth of the golden era. It's not an easy thing for her to see all those colleagues and co-singers whom she worked with pass her by. This is why she decided to meet Bhupen Hazarika,' said a friend close to her.

Jynocel Basweti wins the men's marathon, while Sopagna Eap of Eugene, Ore., wins the women's marathon.
Jynocel Basweti almost took the weekend off.
Instead, the Kenyan native chose to enter the Seattle Rock 'n' Roll Marathon at nearly the last minute, and in cool, cloudy conditions Saturday morning broke away from a front-running, all-Africa foursome at the 21st mile to claim the lead and eventually top honors in Seattle's second-annual mashup of music and endurance.
Sopagna Eap of Eugene, Ore., took first place in the women's marathon, all part of an event (marathon and half-marathon) that attracted more than 27,000 runners, 45 musical acts, dozens of cheerleading squads and hundreds of volunteers.
None was swifter than the 23-year-old Basweti, a member of the AmeriKenyan Running Club who trains in Santa Fe, N.M. His current high-mileage training regimen initially dissuaded him from running in Seattle.

"I decided on Wednesday that I was coming," he said.
The winning time of 2 hours, 18 minutes, 19 seconds gave Basweti his fourth marathon victory in 2010 (two in Georgia, one in Mississippi) and his fifth win in his last six marathons.
Following a 7 a.m. start in Tukwila, Basweti, fellow Kenyans Mark Chepses, 34, and David Cheruiyot, 29, and Ethiopian Kassahun Kabiso, 26, ran in a tight pack for the first 16 miles. Kabiso faded first. Cheruiyot dropped back before the 20-mile mark and Basweti shook Chepses a mile later as the pair emerged from the Battery St. tunnel.
"I had to make a move to see if I could drop these guys," said Basweti, who ran the 21st mile in 5 minutes, 9 seconds to pull away from Chepses. Chepses placed second at the Qwest Field finish line 32 seconds behind Basweti. Cheruiyot took third (2:21.58).
• The top American male was fifth-place finisher Jacob Puzey, 27, of Hermiston, Ore. (2:27.36). The top local finisher was Seattle's Jeremiah Mushen, a 33-year-old firefighter in Auburn and a former pro triathlete, who took sixth (2:34.16). Richard Williams, 23, of Yakima was seventh (2:35.51); Chris Charles, 33, of Seattle took ninth (2:39.48).
• Eap, 29, a past Olympic Trials participant, posted a time of 2:43.05 and outdistanced her nearest competitor, Kim Harding of Issaquah, by more than 13 minutes (2:56.43). Harding, 22, had not run competitively in her adult years until placing 13th in last November's Seattle Marathon.
"Today I stuck to my pace of 6:50 but did not think I'd be (in) the top five," she said. "This feels good."
Nikki Gamble, 26, of Edmonds finished fifth (3:05.40). Paige Longdon, 34, of Bothell took eighth (3:14.05).
• Marine Capt. Robert Hillery, 29, ran the marathon carrying a large American flag to honor wounded Marines. It was Hillery's second Rock 'n' Roll Marathon (the series has 14 stops) this year. "There were some times on bridges when it was windy and I had to switch to the two-hand carry for a while. But what you lose in weight and drag you gain back in motivation."
• Bob Dolphin of Renton, who ran a marathon on his 80th birthday last October, ran in his 470th career marathon (or ultramarathon) Saturday, finishing in 6:43:32. Carol Dellinger, 48, of Spokane ran her 240th marathon, her eighth since being diagnosed with breast cancer Oct. 9. She finished in 6:09:14.

Product Review: QuicKutz QuickStik
Article Courtesy Scrapjazz.com: by Heidi Anne Giebel
Product Name: QuicKutz QuickStik "Quicker Poker Picker Upper"
Price: The QuicKutz QuickStik retails for $6.65 at Scrapbook.com
Product Description: If you do any kind of paper piecing, whether it be with personal electronic die cutters, manual die cutters or paper punches, this is the product for you!
The QuicKutz QuickStik Quicker-Poker-Picker-Upper does exactly what its name implies. It picks up tiny pieces of paper and pokes paper from a die shape when it's been cut.
In Use:
The QuicKutz QuickStik has two ends, one for picking up and one for poking.
The first end has a clear cap and after you pull the cap straight off (do not twist it off) you will find a top full of tacky material that is dispensed slowly as you screw the top on tighter. This tacky green material is what sticks to your paper leaving absolutely no residue on your projects. It picks up the paper and allows you to place it exactly where you want it.
Tips & Techniques:
- When the little tip of green tacky material loses its tack, just pinch it off and twist the top to dispense more. I also love using this end of the QuickStik to pick up small pieces of paper to which I've already applied glue.
- The flip side of the QuickStik has a plastic pointed end that is removable and flips around to have a plastic beveled end. The pointed end is perfect for poking out little pieces of paper that were not completely cut out.
- The beveled end works great when trying to get underneath your diecuts, for example on your Cricut mat.
The QuickStik can be used for more than just paper. Any light embellishment can be picked up with it and placed on your project with ease.

The seat of papal power relocated briefly to Avignon during the 14th century, and the city still retains all the grandeur and majesty of its medieval heyday. Soaring above the steep cobbled alleyways and market squares of Avignon's irresistible walled Old Town are the formidable crenellations of the Palais des Papes – now a 24-room museum packed with priceless frescoes. You could lose yourself for days in the city's immersive history, but drag yourself back to the 21st century and you'll find plenty of more contemporary attractions to get excited about, not least the array of Michelin-starred restaurants and the famous annual arts festival.

First of all, I own a $25 beater bike that I picked up from a garage sale a few months ago. It's an old(er) Univega Alpina Pro with wide (not sure if you'd call them mtb) tires. It's mainly for riding to campus (<1 mile away) and getting around town (not more than a couple miles).
I'd like to become a stronger rider, but am discouraged from taking longer rides because of the tires (I read in another thread not to regularly exceed 5 miles on mtb tires). Traffic is also kinda crazy in Berkeley.
Would I reap any benefits from using a stationary bike (the nearby dorms have a small workout room I can access for free)? Should I just try to ride (stationary) as long as possible? Other suggestions?

"A canonical collection, splendidly and sensitively edited by Rudolph Byrd."
–Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
One of the leading voices of the Harlem Resaissance and a crucial literary figure of his time, James Weldon Johnson was also an editor, songwriter, founding member and leader of the NAACP, and the first African American to hold a diplomatic post as consul to Venezuela and Nicaragua. This comprehensive volume of Johnson's works includes the seminal novel Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, poems from God's Trombones, essays on cultural and political topics, selections from Johnson's autobiography, Along This Way, and two previously unpublished short plays: Do You Believe in Ghosts? and The Engineer. Featuring a chronology, bibliography, and a Foreword by acclaimed author Charles Johnson, this Modern Library edition showcases the tremendous range of James Weldon Johnson's writings and their considerable influence on American civic and cultural life.
"This collection of poetry, fiction, criticism, autobiography, political writing and two unpublished plays by James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) spans 60 years of pure triumph over adversity. [….Johnson's] nobility, his inspiration shine forth from these pages, setting moral and artistic standards." —Los Angeles Times
About the Author
James Weldon Johnson (1871-1938) was a prolific writer and legendary civil rights activist who produced several novels, a pioneering work of cultural history, the first major anthology of black poetry, and numerous treatises on race relations. He served as U.S. consul to Venezuela and Nicaragua and as secretary of the NAACP"."
Rudolph P. Byrd (Ph.D. Yale University) is the Goodrich C. White Professor of American Studies in the Graduate Institute of the Liberal Arts and the Department of African American Studies and the founding director of the James Weldon Johnson Institute for Advanced Interdisciplinary Studies at Emory University. He is the author and editor of ten books, including "Jean Toomer s Years with Gurdjieff"; "Essentials by Jean Toomer with Charles Johnson"; " Charles Johnson s Novels: Writing the American Palimpsest"; "The Essential Writings of James Weldon Johnson"; and with "Alice Walker The World Has Changed: Conversations with Alice Walker". Among Professor Byrd s awards and fellowships are an Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship at Harvard University; Visiting Scholar at the Bellagio Study and Conference Center; and the Thomas Jefferson Award from Emory University. He is a founding officer of the Alice Walker Literary Society.
CHARLES JOHNSON, Jr. is Chair of the Department of History and Geography at Morgan State University.

It's unclear whether a member of Britain's Parliament may have purchased a PlayStation game with his tax-funded expense account, reports Eurogamer.
A number of MPs have been found to have used public funds for questionable expenses in recent months. Eurogamer spotted the Labour Party's Nigel Griffiths (left) among a list of MP with oddball expenditures published by The Guardian. Griffiths strongly denied that he bought a game, however, and Eurogamer can't find one with the title as given:
According to a list of the stranger expense claims… Nigel Griffiths, Labour MP for Edinburgh South and former deputy leader of the House of Commons, expensed "GBP 29.99 for a PlayStation computer game, Premiership Arsenal".
Griffiths disputes the report, however, telling The Sun that the Dixons receipt in question is misleading. "It's not a game, it's a branded memory stick," said the beleaguered MP. "I'm well past playing video games."
We certainly don't recall a game called Premiership Arsenal and can't find any reference to one, either, although it's possible the title refers to Codemasters' PS2 offering, Club Football: Arsenal 2005.
Under somewhat more of a microscope than Griffiths is frequent video game critic Keith Vaz, also of the Labour Party. Bruce on Games cites a BBC report detailing Vaz's questionable use of public funds:
[Vaz] claimed more than £75,000 to fund a second home in Westminster, even though his family home is just 12 miles away in Stanmore. The Telegraph also suggested he changed his designated second home for a single year to property in his Leicester constituency, before claiming more than £4,000 on furnishings.

The Yinghu Lake, one of the provincial scenic spots, is located at the foot of the Tianzhu Mountain which is 18 kilometres to the southeast of the city proper of Ankang. The Lake is the largest green man-made lake with fresh water in the northwest China after the foundation of the Ankang Power Station. The lake has a perimeter of 540 kilometres and covers a total area of about 77.5 square kilometres. It is the provincial tourist resort which boasts such natural sights as the Bashan Mountain and the Hanshui River, and also an ideal ecological place for visit which is based on well-kept ecological environment like surrounding mountains and vegetation, and features sightseeing, recreation on the water, relaxation in holidays. What's more, the Yinghu Lake is the very place where literators get together so as to compose poems, paint paintings and take photos.
the Dam of the Power Station: the Dam of the Power Station holds back at the Huoshi Rock the surging Hanjiang River which has run for thousands of miles. As a result, a high gorge comes into being on the lake. When the flood needs to be discharged, the sluice gate is opened and giant water posts spew out from the holes of the gate. Under the influence of the inertia and the press of the water, the water posts get the shape of parabola and then fall into the riverbed in the lower reaches. The water roars and surges forward just like thousands of horses rioting.
The Golden Snail Island: the Golden Snail Island is one of the important sights of the Scenic Spot of the Yinghu Lake. The Island gets its name because it looks like a snail standing in the lake, and Ankang was called in the ancient times Jinzhou (Jin means gold or golden in Chinese). The Snail Peak Tower stands grand and magnificent on the top of the Golden Snail Island. The tower has five floors and is as high as 26.5 meters.
The Vega Stone: during the years of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Liu Yingqiu, a famous scholar in Ankang had composed a poem, the Vega Stone. The poem praised highly the true love between the loyal and industrious Cowboy and beautiful Vega who was good at weaving. Nowadays, a statue of Cowboy stands where Cowboy stood. On the northern bank of the Yinghu Lake stands the statue of Vega who is looking toward the direction of the statue of Cowboy.
Solo Adventure Tips:
How to Get There?
You can take the buses at the Anhuo Road in the Ankang City which go to the Yinghu Lake. That will take you 5 yuan per person (there are also special buses in the busy season which will cost you 3 yuan per person). You can also take Xiali cars or minibuses there which will usually cost you 10 to 20 yuan per car.
Ticket Price:
Opening Hours:
8:30-16:00 in winter 8:00-18:00 in spring, summer and autumn
More Tips:
A. if you go sightseeing around the Lake, just take care. As soon as you come near the Lake, you will find yourself surrounded by a group of ship-owners. They would charge you 40 to 100 yuan. You have to cut that down. B. The tour of the Scenic Spot of the Yinghu Lake usually lasts for two to three hours. In addition to sightseeing, you can also take delight from such sports on the water as the plane on the water, water-skiing by yacht, fire balloon, and so on. The price is 50 to 100 yuan. C. The best place for accommodation is the Yinghu Hotel. It lies on the bank of the Yanghu Lake, and has more than 100 rooms. The price for the common rooms is 60 yuan per day, and that for the standard rooms is 180 yuan per day. If you are lucky enough, you can get the rooms on the right side of the corridor which will enable you overlook the Lake and enjoy the fresh air. D. Featured food: you can taste such dishes of the farmhouse in the Holliday Villa on the Golden Snail Island and the Cuiping Island as the Fish Banquet of the Yinghu Lake, bean curd, and so on.

Wenger, 64, takes charge of Arsenal for the 1,000th time on Saturday when they travel to leaders Chelsea as they bid to close the gap on Jose Mourinho's side to one point with a win.
The match could be the last time Wenger takes Arsenal to Stamford Bridge with his contract expiring at the end of the campaign, but Vermaelen said the squad were keen to continue working with the Frenchman.
"It's incredible - not a lot of managers do that nowadays because they come in and out, so for him to achieve 1,000 games is something unbelievable," the Belgium defender told Arsenal.com.
"Everybody wants him to stay as long as he can. He's been incredible with what he's done for this club and for the players as well."
Vermaelen has found himself on the bench for long periods of the season due to the form of Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny but he bears no ill will towards Wenger, who is expected to stay on.
"We would be really happy to see him signing on for a few more years," Vermaelen said, adding that there was no sign of him slowing down.
"If you see him off the pitch there's always a lot of hunger in him and a lot of ambition still. He's not losing that at all."

Bought the frame used and although the seat post seems to fit fine as is, I think a spacer would make it perfect for me. Can't seem to find them anywhere though, not even the seat mast post which probably includes some spacers.
when I got the frame the owner included one he made himself but I broke it trying to remove it from the clamp.
Anyone know where I can find some?

Arid Zone, Fertile Ground
The unique landscape surrounding UNSW's Fowlers Gap Arid Zone Research Station near Broken Hill has drawn researchers from around the world for over 40 years, spawning over 300 PhDs and over 1,000 scientific papers.
Australia's only arid zone research station, it has enough diverse ecosystems and habitats to provide a vital snapshot of Australia's interior.
This is where the most extensive long-term research on the kangaroo has been carried out; indeed the kangaroo sequences for David Attenborough's Life On Earth were shot here.
In this video we look at how researchers from different universities are studying the social phenomenon of cooperative breeding, where groups of animals gather together like a family to support non-family members. Rare in most ecosystems, it's found at Fowlers Gap in abundance, even in the tiniest insects.

Loud, but awesome
This review is from: Cordless Dirt Devil M0914 Extreme Power Hand Vac Silver
Pros: Great suction, gets in those hard to reach places, can pick up rocks!
Cons: It is quite noisy, and while charging it gets a little warm. Don't let the heat while charging fool you, it is not nearly enough to cause damage or cause fire.

This review is from: Cordless Dirt Devil M0914 Extreme Power Hand Vac Silver
Pros: The most powerful hand vac I've ever owned. This is the second one I've purchased. I really like built in crevice tool. I use it in the kitchen and for tricky spots in my car.
Cons: The charger does not prevent over charging. Hand vac will become warm when sitting on the charger for longer than 24 hours. It shortens the lifespan of the battery. I now unplug the unit if I know I'm not going to use in 24hrs. My first M0914 lasted over three years but the charger killed the battery in the long run.
Other Thoughts: The most powerful cordless hand vac that I could find. You will get your moneys worth out of this hand vac. I'm glad they still have the M0914 available.

Great handheld vac
This review is from: Cordless Dirt Devil M0914 Extreme Power Hand Vac Silver
Pros: powerful, lightweight, replacement filter is inexpensive
Cons: loud
Other Thoughts: I've had this vacuum and have been happily using it for more than a year! I've replaced the filter twice, primarily because I have two cats and the cat hair clogs the filters over time. When the filter gets clogged up, you can clean it off by hand a dozen times or so, but eventually you just won't be able to get it clean. Set of two replacement filters cost me about $10.
