Bad News For Baseball: World Series Viewers Are Getting Older And Older
Originally published on Bloomberg View.
Originally published on Bloomberg View.
Here's a partial transcript—flagged by DC Sports Bog's Dan Steinberg—of a meeting Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan had with reporters on Monday night:
Jerry Buss died today. The 80-year-old was arguably the greatest NBA owner in the history of the league. He was also a world-class Playmate aficionado who frequently dated teenage girls and used to host his birthday party at a brothel. To put it in more appropriate obituary terms, the man was "known for his eye for…
The perfect Michael Jordan profile is some sort of journalistic unicorn by now—what's there to say about a guy about whom too much has been said already?—but Wright Thompson's story for ESPN is the closest we'll get to it.
I went to the MLB Fan Cave about a year ago. The place bummed me out. Two aspiring actors—actors, in the sense that they'd be good fits to play Turtle in Entourage: the Musical—sat before a lot of TV screens and Pepsi Max ads. Now I think back on it, there was bottomless Pepsi Max. And Bud Light, in those aluminum…
Tim Duncan wasn't hurt tonight. He merely took a day off from the daunting post-lockout grind to rest his bones, and his Spurs beat the Sixers anyway, 93-76. The ESPN.com boxscore says "DNP-REST." The NBA's, pictured above, wasn't so politically correct. "DND-OLD." Poor, poor, old Tim Duncan. He turns 36 in a month.
The Phillies have steamrolled the National League this year, and it seems like they've been doing that a lot lately. But they've done it without their soft-tossing lefty on-field mascot, Jamie Moyer, whose slow, painful, surprising march to 300 wins was undone last year by his ulnar collateral ligament.
Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay on Twitter: "We have agreed to terms with Kerry Collins...more details to come." The details being: Indy is hopelessly fucked should soon-to-be-39-year-old Kerry Collins have to play a snap in that offense.
Margaret Musgrove, a 63-year-old great-grandmother from West Yorkshire, has been banned from the Leeds United stadium after running onto the field at Elland Road in May. She is much cooler and possibly drunker than your great-grandmother:
And it was a thing of beauty to watch, for fans who view coaches as interesting or influential as any athlete. Even if they're 80 years old and are baseball's Winston Wolf, just waiting for the call to clean up someone else's mess.
Randy Choate started the eighth for Florida tonight: He walked Bobby Abreu on six pitches, then went to 2-1 on Alberto Callaspo. That's it, new 80-year-old sheriff in town Jack McKeon decided, and he pulled Choate for Burke Badenhop.
Because the specials at the Bob Evans in Hialeah end at 4:30, and, well, you know. [Palm Beach Post]
Setting aside the fact that one's in a wheelchair and the team has been around for less than half of the other's life, that's still pretty good willpower. But Rebecca Lazofsky, 102, and daughter Miriam, 85, finally took in their first Mets game yesterday. One hopes they stuck around until the 9th so they could see the…
Her birthday was actually last month, but that game was naturally rained out. So yesterday Mary Johnson braved the 50-degree temperatures to take in her first Tigers game since 1936. The Tigers lost, of course.
Obvious joke: I had no idea you could Skype on the Jitterbug. Actually, you know what, this whole post and comments section is going to be obvious jokes about old people using technology. So let's just say this is probably some sort of recruiting violation, and Paterno thought he was talking to his great-grandchildren…
Two great goals posted on the same day—how about that! Following Müller's outside of the boot corker, above is old man Del Piero proving that age hast not withered thine legs*.

The Center for International Studies began in 2000 as a result of President Nancy Vickers' Plan for a New Century. Other Centers included in this effort are the Center for Science in Society, and the Center for Visual Culture.
For the first four years of the Center, we have sought to construct bridges within social sciences and humanities and, most importantly, between these disciplinary areas. During this initial period, we have promoted these goals by funding faculty and student research projects and by sponsoring public lectures, round tables, research talks, and in-depth visits from experts in the international field. The most recent of these expert guests was Professor Kwame Anthony Appiah, the noted ethicist from Princeton University.
Additionally, we have sought and received funding for a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in International Studies, Professor Isabelle Barker, and we have instituted an International Studies Minor at the College.
The cross-disciplinary nature of our faculty membership holds rich promise for research and pedagogical innovations at the intersection of humanities and social science. Due to the very different methodologies and research agendas we espouse, it is crucial for us to take some time to discuss these differences, learn to understand them, and incorporate them in our planning. Our first success is, then, that we have been able to talk increasingly easily across these disciplinary boundaries and identify the topic of both our research and curricular discussions: "Border Crossings/Crossing Borders", which we mean in the international sense as well as in the disciplinary one. This has been a long-standing topic of interest to the Center.

This time about we have a fleshed-outstoryline, showcasing mankinds quite bleak future. The Earth hasbecome hazardously inhabited, and our species has spread its wings tocolonies the stars. An unfortunate slope-effect of this rearingexpansion is that mega-corporations now rule the universe, hiringmercenaries experienced like Hunters to do their dirty work
You are in charge of one such group ofHunters, and during the game you will acquire the opportunity toincrease the abilities of your team and outfit them on improved armorand weapons. This element of Hunters 2 is seriously impressive,offering multiple skill trees and an inventory of different items tobuy.
The turn-dependent game play stays very much the same asearlier: every of your warriors has a sure number of action pointsper turn, and these are applied to move and attack. Selecting tostay stationary will afford your soldier the opportunity to fire moreas compared to once, but moving halfway across the map will mean theycan not attack at all later they reach their finish. Handling yourstock of action points is essential.
Those of you on a lovefor scheme will positively lap up Hunters 2. The game gives amplechance to fulfill your dream of becoming a budding commander. Still,there is one matter we experience prevents the game from passing withflying colors. Contempt its premium price tag, Hunters 2 howeverpresents you on in-app buys for purchasing credits, which you canapply to acquire new weapons and armor.
Doing this essentially means you canpower-up your squad with little effort, robbing you of the thrill ofprogress. Still, if youre strong-willed then you can simply ignorethe option. In-app purchases aside, Hunters 2 offers a sensationalamount of game play and entertainment for its asking price.Trigger-happy action lovers could struggle with the games focus oncerebral delights over instant gratification, but lovers of the genrewill be very much at home.

How to Invent a Superhero
Posted on March 31, 2008 | 18 Comments | Permalink | Email Article | Tweet
I AM SPELLING-BEE MAN. Faster than a fourth grader. Smarter than an average redneck. Fighting bad grammar and spells where and whenever.
"How about cold blooded murderer"
Very first one I read, very hilarious.
The Axe Catcher would be better.
Crawling through the archive and came across this gem. I don't think I've laughed so hard at a webcomic in years. Well done!
Probably the best superhero known to man-kind. Little does he know his arch-nemesis is also his one true love -- Spelling Bee Girl.
The Axe-Catcher and his henchman, the Thrower-Backer!
and the most powerful of them all . . . THE HIGH-SCHOLAR! Able to throw acidic comments and punches faster than a speeding teacher! can cripple people with dirty jokes! Scare people with black ensemble, suicidal tendencies, and rock-music!
This one made it immensely difficult for me to not wake up my fiance. <3
At least there wasn't an "Axe Effect" joke.
The axe dodger may find himself innefective as anything other than the axe thrower's nemesis
No, he could work at a Fair as one of those people who has stuff thrown at them :P and he could fight for the Rainforrest, the enemy of Lumber Jacks everywhere! ;)
That would make the "axe dodger" a hero. Which makes sense, because if you think about it, the axe thrower is a much better name for a villain.
Does the axe return to his hand like Thor's Hammer, only more choptastic?
How about the "ax-evader"
"Don't run purse snatcher, I just want to axe you a question!"
"That looks painful. Sorry about that, it was an axe-ident!"
"I've got an axe to grind with you, Axe Dodger!"

TUSCALOOSA -- Goliath, after all, didn't carry an aluminum bat.
National No. 4 seed Alabama dominated today's first game of the NCAA Super Regional against underdog Jacksonville State in Tuscaloosa. The Crimson Tide's 9-0 victory was stopped after 4½ innings by softball's eight-run mercy rule.
Eight of nine hitters on Alabama's lineup got at least one hit, while pitcher Kelsi Dunne struck out seven of the 16 Jacksonville State batters she faced for her fifth career no-hitter and the second in UA postseason history.
"That's the way we've wanted it to be all year long," Crimson Tide coach Patrick Murphy said.
Alabama (51-9) has now won three of its four NCAA tournament games by the mercy rule, with a combined score of 38-4 for all of them. Murphy's club can clinch its sixth WCWS bid during today's 11 a.m., ESPN-televised second game, while underdog Jacksonville State (43-15) approaches the end to the best season in school history.
"We're going to go in with the same mindset we went in with today," Crimson Tide third baseman Kelley Montalvo said. "We don't take any team lightly. They're going to probably come back tomorrow harder. ... We're not looking for a third game."
Before a packed house at the UA softball complex - including a large section of JSU fans - Dunne set the tone by striking out the side in the opening inning. Only one of two Gamecocks players to reach base all day was Courtney Underwood on a second-inning walk.
The next batter tried a bunt, and Montalvo charged and fired quickly to second for a double play to kill JSU's only chance to advance a runner.
"It might have been the play that did it," Murphy said. "That was a heck of a play."
Off balance for two innings against JSU starter Karla Pittman, Alabama's batters jumped all over her change-up the second time through the order. A seven-run third inning was the product of eight consecutive Crimson Tiders reaching base amid a flurry of five base hits, two steals, two walks and a run-scoring error.
"There's no room for error and there's especially no room to be passive against this team," JSU coach Jana McGinnis said. "If you're passive they will eat you up, and they did. All week we'd talked about not giving them extra at-bats, not making mistakes, because they're a great team. You can't keep putting the bat in their hand. They'll make you pay, and they showed us that."
JSU, which is now 0-for-12 all-time against Alabama, just hopes to hang around as long as possible and force a third game immediately after Saturday's 11 a.m. game.
"I feel no anxiousness," McGinnis said. "Hey, if we don't win tomorrow, I will be just as proud of them tomorrow as I still am today. These are a great group of girls that has made history at JSU."

Ever since I was a child I've been fascinated with snake grass (also called horsetail, or Equisetum hymale) thanks to my babysitter who showed me how to disassemble each section and carefully snap them back together {also…the blades worked really well to whip at my little brother}.
But there is something more you should know about snake grass….she spreads. Like crazy. And will best serve your landscape if she was contained or left to flourish in her natural habitat.
Cleverly this homeowner notched out a piece of sidewalk for the plant to soften the dreary look of their mailbox.
In addition, the homeowner planted snake grass along her foundation–so the plant is still contained by the front sidewalk. The grass complements the modern, sleek characteristics of the house while providing an unique, low maintenance element.
Beyond your landscape, snake grass works well in wetlands–waterways, ditches, etc–to soak up some of the water and choke out unsightly weeds, similar to how cattails perform. Or use it for a filler within your cut flower bouquets. However you interject snake grass in your garden, please be mindful of its growing habit and plant wisely.
If you've grown this grass before–tell me about your experience–how you used it–how you contained it–or how you had fun with it!

How's this for your daily dose of gossip:
FanNation is speculating on a possible Vikings-Seahawks trade involving Matt Hasselbeck.
Personally, I think this barely has a snowball's chance in hell of actually happening. Since the Seahawks are keeping a West Coast Offense in place with the new regime taking over, they'll want to stick with a quarterback who knows the system inside and out. Few quarterbacks in the league know that system better than Matt Hasselbeck.
And sure, there's always the possibility of Mora and the new coaching staff deciding to draft a QB higher than expected this year, but nobody should count out Hasselbeck because of one injury-plagued season. He fought through multiple injuries in 2006 and followed it with a career year in 2007, so I'm betting on history repeating itself for 2009. (What can I say, the glass is half-full.)
Besides, with the front office keeping a sharp eye on Michael Crabtree, they're going to need a proven quarterback under center if they take a receiver in the first round. And don't get me wrong, Seneca Wallace had a quality year filling in for Hasselbeck, but I say we keep both of them and don't bother with a trade.
(Cue hypothetical Hasselbeck-for-Hutchinson discussion in 5…4…3…) -END-

Safety...what safety?
That's how I deal with it, it's a non-issue.
November 26, 2007, 06:46 AM
I don't use the safety, my Maks have such a heavy DA pull I don't need one.
November 26, 2007, 09:20 AM
I decided to go with a CZ82, it has ambi controls. But yeah, I don't use the safety much on my Mak. I work it with the right hand while holding it in my left. Both are great pistols.
November 26, 2007, 09:21 AM
Thanks, Gentlemen, for your replies. I was wondering if I could use a Mak for idpa bug gun matches. I don't think that will be possible, since the safety needs to be used.
November 26, 2007, 11:58 PM
shooting left handed, would you be using your right hand to extract the mag from the bottom then? it seems to me you could just use the same right hand to switch the safety by reaching your fingers over the slide and using your middle finger to push down on the safety. would that be okay for idpa?
November 27, 2007, 06:28 AM
Yes, that might work. Thank you.

I have an old elite 120GB.
I now have a Slim 4gb with a 250gb hard drive that i bought seperately.
Can someone just clarify my theory to transfer data over:
1: Plug the usb of the transfer kit into the xbox (with the 120GB HDD attached to the Xbox 360 elite and the new 250gb HDD on the end of the transfer cable bit).
2: Go to memory settings and request it to copy everything across to the other hard drive.
3: Done?
Here's what you do:
Turn your old Xbox off and remove the hard drive - this is your source drive.
Disconnect all other accessories from your new Xbox 360 S (USB accessories, memory units etc), connect the larger end of the data migration cable to your old drive (source drive) and plug the other end into your Xbox 360 S USB port. Then turn your console on, connect a controller to it. Now the console should prompt you for a transfer so select "Transfer" to start it.
If it did not work, turn the console off and make sure you attached both ends of the cable correctly. If it still didn't work then your Data transfer kit might be faulty and you might have to get a replacement from your retailer.
Also make sure the transfer cable is officially from Microsoft. Third Party may mess it up very badly.
Hi there,
like what the others have said, but now via the support link the how to transfer data via a transfercable:
I will just add that the instructions on the website don't always work as expected, if you do not get the transfer window popping open then power off the console, disconnect your source hard drive from the cable, power the console back on with the data transfer cable still connected to the console, wait for about 30 seconds after it boots to the dashboard. Now connect your source hard drive to the cable.
Undeadfire Zero is spot on with his recommendation of only using the official Microsoft certified data transfer cable, these third party cables can and often do wreak havoc with your hard drives as explained in the link below.

In my example, the study focuse in the relationship between the data consisted of daily mileage driven and fuel consumption with the consideration to the route selection, driver assigment, and field data collection.Then All four data sets—two for B20 (express and stop/go), and two for ULSD (express and stop/go) with the Two-way Anova test to see if there was a significan difference.
Correlation test
Definition: Testing the relationship between two continuous variables, either of which can be considered the independent or dependent variable.
Application: Correlation test the relationship between two continuous variable which can be considerein dependent or independent. I my exmaple they measure they measure the relationship between the total cost, intensive care at the end of life, and ambulatory medaica care. They found a negative relationship between the variables." Higher PSA screening in a region was positively associated with greater total costs (correlation coefficient (r)=0.49, P<.001), greater intensive care unit use at the end of life (r=0.46, P<.001), and greater number of unique physicians seen (r=0.36, P<.001). PSA screening was negatively associated with proportion of beneficiaries using a primary care physician as opposed to a medical subspecialist for the predominance of ambulatory care (r=−0.38, P<.001)."
Chi-square test
Definition: Testing the relationship between two categorical variables, either of which can be considered the independent or dependent variable.
Example: http://7thspace.com/headlines/346772/a_simulation_study_for_comparing_testing_statistics_in_response_adaptive_randomization.html
Application: Chi-square test for a relationship between teo categorical variable. In my example Chi-square measures "assigment of patients in a comparative clinical trial to the tentatively better treatment. However, due to the adaptation in patient allocation, the samples to be compared are no longer independent."
Standard Score
Definition: A score obtain by using the ransformation z=(X-X bar)/S
Example: http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/tampatribune/access/38423133.html?dids=38423133:38423133&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Dec+08%2C+1995&author=BETH+FOUSHEE&pub=Tampa+Tribune&desc=Polk+students+top+average+state+scores&pqatl=google
Application: A standard score in the example is measuring the levels in the students basic math and communications level how they level to proficiency levels for garduation.
Confidence Interval
Definition: A range of scoreds values expected to contain the value of mu with a certain level of confidence.
Example: http://www.indiablooms.com/LifestyleDetailsPage/lifestyleDetails270410a.php
Application: Confidence interval contains the level of confidence within a given event. In my example,tries to explain provocative dress didn't really seem to effect the frequency of earthquakes. There were 47 earthquakes on the 26th, which falls well within the 95% confidence interval for number of earthquakes" The confidence interval communicate that earthquakes occur due to natural forces and not because of provocative wear by women.
Parametric Test
Definition: A Statistical test involving hypotheses that state a relationship about a population parameter.
Nonparametric Test
Definition: A statistical test involving hypothesis that do not state a relationship about a population parameter.Also known as a distribution-free test.
Application: A nonparametric test involves a hypothesis that do not state a relationship abaout a population. In the example, the nonparametric test is used to measure, "All patients received perioperative prophylactic antibiotics. Surgical site infections were identified postoperatively, and defined using the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) criteria. Clinical parameters, comorbidities, smoking history and preoperative urine analysis and culture results were analyzed as well as operative data."
Statistically significant difference
Definition:The observed value of the test statistic falls into a rejection region and H0 is rejected.
Application: There were statistically significant differences between FSs for retention criteria at all follow-up examinations , and the difference was found to be due to the low retention rate of the DS group (Table 2). The observe value of the test statitic fell into the rejection region.
Nonsignificant difference
Definition: The observe value of the test statistic does not fall into a rejection region and the null hypothesis is not rejected.
Application: The differences between FS with respect to both marginal integrityand presence of caries were not statistically significant at any follow-up examination. The le value servable value in the marginal integrityand did not fall into the rejection region therefore the null hupothesis was not rejected.
Between-subjects Design, with two groups
Definition:An experiment in which two or more groups are created
Example: http://www.nature.com/clpt/journal/v84/n2/full/clpt200830a.html
Application: The experiment in which two or more groups were created. In the exampe.They, "manipulated "intrinsic" quit motivation by recruiting smokers who either did intend to quit soon ("treatment seekers," N = 47) or did not ("nonseekers," N = 93), and "extrinsic" quit motivation by providing or not providing reinforcement for abstinence ($12/day)."
Between-subjects Design, with three or more groups
Definition:An experiment in which three or more groups are created.
Application: In the experiment three or more groups were created measure, "leg kinematics and motion characteristics within able-bodied (AB) and spinal cord injured (SCI) individuals during stationary semireclined cycling."
Random sampling
Definition: A sampling method in which individuals are selected so that each memeber of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample, and the selection of one memeber is independent of any other member of the population.
Example: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/3080598/China-milk-scandal-Childen-warned-of-risk-from-contaminated-products.html
Application: In China the contaminated milk scandal has seen 53,000 babies in ill and killing four. The European Union has moved to ban imports of dairy-based Chinese food products, including biscuits, sweets and chocolate, aimed at children or infants amid the growing global health scare. New "precautionary" restrictions imposed by the European Commission will come into force on Friday along with tighter EU border checks on all Chinese food products entering Europe. But the Tesco supermarket chain has already removed Chinese-made White Rabbit Creamy Candies off shelves amid reports that samples of the product in Singapore and New Zealand had tested positive for melamine. New tests will be carried out on all imported goods from China containing more than 50 per cent of milk powder and random sampling will now be carried out on all such products already on the EU market and supermarket shelves.
Random Assignment
Definition: A method of assigning subjects to treatment groups so that any individual selected for the experiment has an equal probobility of assgnment to any of the group and the assigment of one subject to a group does not affect the assignment of any other ndividual to that same group.
Example: http://www.mathematica-mpr.com/PDFs/randomassign.pdf
Application: random assigment was used to pick teachers, classrooms, or schools to use in the experiment. They were placed in a ramdom order to have a equal probability of the assigment.
Independent Variable
Definition: A variable manipulation in an experiment to determine its effect on the dependent variable.
Example: http://www.nature.com/ijo/journal/v30/n2/full/0803053a.html
Application: An independent variable is variable use to manipulate in the experiment. In the example, nut chewing is used to measure obesity.
Levels of the Independent Variable
Definition: One value of the independent variable. To be a variable, an independent variable must take on at least two diffferent levels.
Definition: An extraneous variable that is covarying with the ondependent variable, potentially masking te true effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable.
Example: http://www.iwh.on.ca/confounding-variables
Application: A confound variable is a extreneous variable that covarying with the dependable variable. In the exaple,"two groups of workers — who were employed in different lumberyards — didn't do the same amount of heavy lifting. One lumberyard typically used forklifts to load and deliver orders by truck, while the workers at the other location were sometimes expected to load orders into the customers' vehicles. So this variable — the amount of lifting — rather than back belt use could explain the different rates of back strain in the two groups." This mistake mask the true effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable.
Dependent Variable
Definition: The variable in an experiment that depends on the independent variable. in most instance the dependent variable is some measure of behavior.
Example: http://www.nature.com/ki/journal/v56/n4/full/4491047a.html
Application: A dependable variable is a measurement of behavior. In the example, they measure calcitriol levels and BsmI genotype frequencies to determine,"Vitamin D receptor genotype influences PTH and calcitriol levels in predialysis patients."
Within-subjects Design, with two groups
Definition: A research design in which two group of subjects is exposed to and measured under each level of an independent variable. In a within-subjects design, each subject receives each treatment condition. Also known as a repeated measures design or a treatment-by-subjects design.
Example: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100225/ap_on_re_us/us_abortion_fetal_pain
Application: A within-subject desig, within two groups was used to measure two groups(one for abortion and one against abortion) that will undergo the lecture explaining that the fetus does not feel pain after 20 weeks of pregnancy, to be able get their view on whether the bill should pass prohibiting abortions after this time period. They receive the answers, have the same groups listen to the next lecture discussing how the fetus does feel pain after 20 weeks of pregnancy and see if their veiws change on if the bill should pass or not.
Within-subjects Design, with three or more groups
Definition: A research design in which one group of subjects is exposed to and measured under each level of an independent variable. In a within-subjects design, each subject reveices each treatment vondition. Also known as a repeated measures design or a treatment-by-subjects design.
Main effect
Definition:The mean of all subjects given one level of an independent variable, ignoring the classification by the other independent variable in a factorial design
Example: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/changetheworld/2010/02/a-tragic-reminder-of-why-killer-whales-should-not-live-at-marine-parks.html
Application: Based on the average means you receive on determining which factor individually or combined, in reference to living in a natural or not natural habitat for the orca whale and receiving healthcare or not receiving healthcare. Determine which aspect of each factor has a higher impact on the orca whale.
Definition:A situation in a factorial design in ehich the effect of one independent variable depends on the level of the other independent variable with which it is combined.
Example: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P3-1707302391.html
Application: The experiment measures the effectpossible interaction between postural risk factors and job strain on the incidence proportion of self-reported musculoskeletal symptoms in the regions of the shoulder-neck, lower back, and upper limbs.
Strength of Effect (Eta squared)
Definition: Is a measuremtn of how much knowing the level of an indepedent variable that a subject received reduceds the error in predicting the subject's score in the sample tested.
Example: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-180029905.html
Application: Eta square measure effect size. In the example," The overall effect size was trivial (r = 0.04). Interestingly, neither intervention program-based increases in physical activity nor dietary improvement was a significant moderator of effect sizes for BMI change. This suggested that improvements beyond the boundaries of structured programs are important."
Definition: A plot of a bivariate distribution in which the X variable is pltted on the horizontal axis and the Y variable is plotted on the vertical axis.
Example: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/changetheworld/2010/02/a-tragic-reminder-of-why-killer-whales-should-not-live-at-marine-parks.html
Application: We could graph the differences between the longevity of a whale in a natural habitat and those living in the theme parks based on how healthy they are.
Positive relationship
Definition: A relationship between two variables in which, as the value of one variable increases the value of the other variable tends to increase also.
Example: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-119740230.html
Application: In a positive relationship the value of one variable tends to increase the value of the other. In the example, there is statistically significant evidence of a positive relationship between market volatility and the equity premium. When market volativity goes up, does the equity premium.
Negative relationship
Definition:A relationship between two variables in which, as the value of one variable ncreases, the vale of teh other variable tends to decrease.
Application: A negative relationship between two variables one variable decreases while the other tends to increase. In the example, between anxiety and couse performance. As anxiety is reduce course performance goes up.
No relationship
Definition: A relationship between two variables in which there is no relationship between them.
Example: http://www.nature.com/jhh/journal/v16/n8/full/1001452a.html
Application: there is no consistent relationship between blood pressure and blood lead in the NHANES III dataset.
Linear relationship
Definition:A relationship between two variables such that each time variable X changes by one unit, variable Y changes by a constant amount.
Example: http://7thspace.com/headlines/346940/disability_status_and_quality_of_life_in_multiple_sclerosis_non_linearity_of_the_expanded_disability_status_scale_edss.html
Application: a lienear relationship is a relationship between two variables such that each time variable x chages by one unit. In the example,they addressed the question, whether there is a linear relationship between disability status and health related quality of life (HRQOL) in MS. They determine there was not a liners relatihip between the both because their was no change between the variables.
Curvilinear relationship
Definition: A relationship between two or more variables which is depicted graphically by anything other than a straight line. For example an accelerating rate of increase in deaths with age is represented by a steepening curve. Curvilinear relationships are very variable, and more complex and less easily identified than simple linear relationships.
Example: http://188.8.131.52/search/cache?ei=UTF-8&p=curvilinear+relationship&fr=yfp-t-701&u=www.osaka-ue.ac.jp/gakkai/pdf/ronshu/2006/5702_ronko_yhayashi.pdf&w=curvilinear+relationship&d=LVxOl-8_Um4C&icp=1&.intl=us&sig=W2E90TyqkuC1soiIIAkbow--
Application: this paper, we provide one explanation for the curvilinear relationship between crime and tem-perature by using the maximizing utility theory for offenders. In our model we show the possibilitythat the relationship would be linear when the cost for captured is small enough, and would be cur-vilinear when the cost is large
Coefficient of Determination
Definition: The Value of r2 indicating the common variance of variables X and Y.
Application: The value of r2 indicating the common varaince x and y. In the example is the relationship of radiation and partial leaf area indices (LAI's) to corn yields.
Correlation does not equal causation
Application: In the chart below, Mr. Florida, director of the Martin Prosperity Institute at the University of Toronto, plotted states according to human capital — here defined as what share of their work force had at least a bachelor's degree — and how much their average worker earned per hour. As you can see, states with more college graduates tended to have higher wages (with a correlation of 0.65). And that's not all. He also looked at the relationship between human capital and hours worked. Generally speaking, states with more highly educated workers worked shorter weeks (with a correlation of negative 0.59). Of course, correlation is not causation. But plenty of research indicates that a more educated local economy is a healthier economy, as one of our Daily Economists, Edward L. Glaeser, has written. So it does not seem such a stretch to find a pattern between human capital and earnings or more convenient hours.
Extra-Credit (3 points each)
Normal Distribution
Normal Distribution: A theoretical mathematical distribution that specifies the relative frequency of a set of scores in a population.
The relative frequent distribution of player's individual performance from play to play almost certainly follows a normal distribution. Virtually all aspects of human traits and performance are governed by a bell curve, from height to intelligence to athletic feats.
Symmetrical distribution: A freqquency distribution that when folded at a midpoint produces two halves identical shape.
The distribution of an athlete's performance is roughly symmetric with respect to his own mean performance level. The frequency distribution midpoint halfs are identical in shape.Event though, Nearly all sports statistics are based in some way on the normal distribution, and each player's performance on individual plays is unlikely to be an exception
The problem with paying them is that the problem(s) that caused the maintenance call has not gone away, so new maintenance calls are likely... and you have only so much cash. Sadly, if you instead liquidate, you must sell many more times the amount of the call just to meet the call, which effort rapidly becomes asymptotic; the two data points only seem to converge.
Continuous: A variable that can take on an infinite set of values between the limits of the variable.
Continuous tornado damage paths in excess of 100 miles are unusual, but do happen on occasion.
Sampling Error
The nationwide telephone poll was conducted April 28 to May 2 with 1,079 adults and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points. More results from this survey will be available after 6:30 p.m.
Null Hypothesis
The null hypothesis has not been disproven; according to the best science currently available there is no correlation between vaccines and autism, and FRONTLINE was correct to hammer that point home again and again.
Alternative Hypothesis
"As per the USGS Earthquake website data, not only did all of the earthquakes on boobquake fall within the normal range of magnitudes, but that mean magnitude actually decreased slightly!" "Now, this change isn't statistically significant, but it certainly doesn't support the cleric's claim. In fact, I think it develops an even more interesting alternative hypothesis: Maybe immodest women actually decrease the amount of earthquakes!"
Significance level
Mr. Florida took a look at how health and happiness correlated with drug use. Before he did so, I told him I guessed healthier and happier states used fewer drugs; his hunch was the opposite. Turns out we were both wrong. When he ran the numbers using the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index and its sub-components (which include measures of health), there were no significant relationships, he /said.
Two-tailed test
One-tailed test
Degrees of Freedom
The field of invention is hand-operated controllers for the movement of images on a computer screen or television display, particularly as used in video games. The controller is the tool by which human hands manipulate a graphic image, a procedure called "hand inputs." The hand inputs are implemented through handles such as joysticks or trackballs, whereby the hand actions of the human operator are sensed and translated electronically into corresponding linear and rotational movements that are shown in graphic display. As discussed in the patents in suit, hand inputs move images in six general directions that are called "degrees of freedom" (DOF) in the lexicon of this technology. Thus, the hand inputs may produce linear movement along three axes (forward/backward, left/right, or up/down), and rotational movement about the three linear axes (roll, pitch, or yaw).
Type I Error
Imagine that you are a hominid on the planes of Africa and you hear a rustle in the grass. Is it a dangerous predator or just the wind? If you assume the rustle in the grass is a dangerous predator and it is just the wind, you have made a Type I error (a false positive), but to no harm. But if you believe the rustle is just the wind when it is a dangerous predator, you have made a Type II error (a false negative) and there's a good chance you'll be lunch and thereby removed from your species' gene pool. Because we are poor at discriminating between false positives and false negatives, and because the cost of making a Type I error is much lower than making a Type II error, there was a natural selection for those hominids who tended to believe that all patterns are real and potentially dangerous. This is the basis for the belief not only in God, but in souls, spirits, ghosts, demons, angels, intelligent designers and all manner of invisible agents intending to harm us or help us.
Type II Error
Imagine that you are a hominid on the planes of Africa and you hear a rustle in the grass. Is it a dangerous predator or just the wind? If you assume the rustle in the grass is a dangerous predator and it is just the wind, you have made a Type I error (a false positive), but to no harm. But if you believe the rustle is just the wind when it is a dangerous predator, you have made a Type II error (a false negative) and there's a good chance you'll be lunch and thereby removed from your species' gene pool. Because we are poor at discriminating between false positives and false negatives, and because the cost of making a Type I error is much lower than making a Type II error, there was a natural selection for those hominids who tended to believe that all patterns are real and potentially dangerous. This is the basis for the belief not only in God, but in souls, spirits, ghosts, demons, angels, intelligent designers and all manner of invisible agents intending to harm us or help us.

Pikmin 3 in the flesh (leaf, whatever)
Shigeru Miyamoto gave lots of chatter about a new Pikmin at last year's E3, so it stands to reason that we should get a bit more info this time around. The original games were among the most innovative to be released on the GameCube, and this year's Wii ports have proven that concept works well with the emote and nunchuck combo. The latest issue of Edge features a full-page advert that simply shows a patch of grass, and most people have taken this to be veiled confirmation of the game's presence in LA. In any case, we're all quite excited about this possibility - even me, and I have a near-pathological fear of sentient plant life.
Gameplay demos of Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver
Aside from the slightly awkward names, we're pretty psyched about these games. Gold/Silver were arguably the best of the older Pokemon titles, so most fans are delighted to see them resurrected. The revamped pair are due to be released in Japan later this year, but what better place than E3 to stoke the fires of expectation with a bit of footage - ideally a live gameplay demo. Tom also wants a feature where you can use the DSi's camera to have video chat with other gamers, but admits this is unlikely because "people might wave their penis" at each other. Flash-a-zor, I choose you!

My advice to those having trouble is to just keep stacking weight onto the nose until the CG gets to the 28mm mark.
130 mAh batteries is a little small for a "mustang Motor" and performace will suffer. 160's would be a min. Hyperions and miniaviation batteries will give a noticeable power increase.
I tunneled into the cowl for forward battery placement on my corsairs and this makes them fly like any other micro plane... instead of darty and unable to penetrate even the slightest breeze.

Hi UNGN and Jovanx, what made me think it wasn't the servos or CG, was during my hair raising uncontrolled flight, I decided to chop the power and just let it fall. When I did, it started gently gliding to the ground under full control. Just for the heck of it, before it reached the ground, I added power to see what would happen and it went every which way but the direction I tried to pointed it. Again, I chopped the power and it glided to the ground like a pussycat. I modified the battery slot to accept the Hyp 1s 240mAh. The 1s 240 is also 1.2g lighter than the two Hyp 130s (= 260mAh). Waiting for the wind to die down to try it out with the 240.
But, like I said before, throttle and controls all opperated smoothly during the preflight. What I didn't do, was to check control movement at full or even partial throttle.
I have to think that this sounds more like a CG issue than a loss of mechanical controls. My Mossie had a terrible CG issue (WAY aft) and I thought the same thing you did. When that nose got up in the air, the whole thing became uncontrollable and i thought it was "browning out". Turns out, it just wasn't getting enough air over the control surfaces when I needed it most. I ended up putting a big ol' "worm weight" from my tackle box - 1/4 oz up front with two 160 mAh batteries before it became flyable. My F4U wasn't nearly that bad, but load up that nose before you do anything else. BTW, do you still have the 3 bladed prop on it? If so, swap it out for a Mustang/UM T28 two bladed prop. The addtional power, combined with additional weight in the nose should bring her under control.

I am glad I checked here before I did her maiden flight. Sent several PM's to TurboParker & he assisted me before she went in the air & told me what to watch out for & what items to get BEFORE her flight.
Ordered a few 1s 180mAh Babbel Batts along with a 5043 prop & prop adapter from RCBabbel. Than did the maiden & all went well!! She's stable & a joy to fly, I'm sure she'd be even better with AS3X but no drama. I was impatient with a little bit of wind & did a hand launch without the gear, she ended up getting tossed to the ground & a broken left wing.
Did the "How to- UM Corsair wing replacement" per John Redman & she's like new!! I only fly her with Babbel Batts & have yet to try her without the gear after the wing incident!! But I am chicken to take her up in winds more than 2mph, LOL, I fly the micro Stryker & MiG 15 EDF on the "windy" days!!

Flew it again today, after a LONG hiatus.
I use 160mAh TP cells, but wrap them with about 1 gram of shrink-wrap sleeve with attached Velcro (use the same cells in UM helis). Putting that all the way forward in the slot made a difference. The extra gram on the battery probably helped.
Much better than I remember. But I'm getting better too.
Still, I'm going to cut the hole and start using a battery with Velcro attached, so it can sit even more forward while removing my extra gram.

Tundra Tires
Here is a pic of my home-made wheels. They are not beautiful, or scale, but they sure work when landing on rough pavement. The stock wheel is there for comparison. I've been hand-launching it all summer, waiting for the wheel struts to come back in stock. You can only straighten them so many times and then they break. Everybody always says you should have a little power on when landing, and I finally got that through my thick head. I did about 25 landings today, and most of them were good.
The only one that resulted in a nose-over was when I let the old habit take over, and tried to dead-stick it in. The bigger wheels really help a lot.
Nice to see a corsair "re-tired" the RIGHT way!
Funny to see someone else post here. I just finished replacing my wing. I bought mine used and it came with a big crack/gash in the existing wing, but the seller threw in a replacement with the sale. I've had it for a few months and was dreading the replacement, but it was a LOT easier than I feared. Definitely helped to find the HH you tube on it to avoid breaking the fuse! She looks great now.
Took her out for a quick maiden and was surprised to see that she's a completely different airplane. Gonna take some getting used to. She seems squirrelier (sp?) somehow. I've seen others report this after rebuilding, so wondering if somethings askew. Gonna have to do a few more flights and find out. I suppose that each wing could have a slightly different shape and warping, (or maybe my old wing was just warped so much I wouldn't recognize a straight wing if it bit me anymore). We'll see.
I'd post pics, but I guess it would be pointless since it now looks basically new again!
Congrats with the installation of your new wing, did the same thing with my micro Corsair and thanks to John Redman's "How To" video, I followed it step-by-step as well. I got lucky though as she had the same flight characteristics as she did with the original wing.
Well, just flew her again - turns out it wasn't the plane. I get a wierd swirl over the trees here (up in the mountains). Took my UM Mustang out to see if it was the plane or the wind, and sure enough, it was the wind. Second flights w/ the corsair = MUCH better. Still have to work on the CG a bit though.

I live in the mountains as well, and there is no such thing as a steady wind. It changes direction often and gusts around trees and buildings. This little plane actually handles the wind quite well, but the landings are difficult. I remove the wheels and hand-launch it on windy days. After surfing the breezes for a while, it's just a matter of popping it down into the grass as softly as possible.
When it is calm, I put the wheels on and practice my takeoffs and landings.

Maybe that'll bring the price of Suter down.
Suter is a scrub! Let's offer him a tryout and sign him to league min, after a stint in GR maybe he can crack the line up.

I REALLY HATE THE WINGS RIGHT NOW ,next preds-wings game is march 7th and ya'll guys will have to look at the preds yellow jerseys all night
We can practice getting used to the color by not flushing after a pee. . In seriousness the Preds deserve credit for playing a hard fought game. They should hit the 2nd round again, and give that opponent some fits. The Preds are turning into a team that everyone in the league needs to take seriously. Rinne looked good, though I'm glad he didn't catch Howard in the wins column while Jimmy was injured.

As soon as we lost control of that puck, I couldn't help but flashback to the 11/21/10 game vs. Calgary. Thank you, Pavel, for recreating that night minus overtime and the +1 for the Preds.
OMG me too. I just remember the dats z magic right after it popped over the blue line. Kinda felt it when lids looked back and made the pass off the boards.
You're a wizard Dylan!

Good, hard fought win tonight. Felt like a playoff game the whole way.

After that dismal 2nd, I think Babcock clearly told the boys to just fire the puck on net. It seemed like we had a ton of shots directed at net in the 3rd.
21 SOG for Nashville, only 4 in the 4rd. 31 SOG for Detroit, 10 in the 4rd.
What was also interesting was the distibution of ice-time tonight.

Some other notes:
- Kindl better be sitting next game for Commie because that giveaway on the goal was unacceptable.
- Joey Mac is playing amazing and deserves to stay in Detroit... the team is really confident in front of him.
- Franzen needs to stop playing such a lazy overall game because it is really frustrating.
Can't wait until Sunday because the Wings SHOULD be prepared for the Sharks to let them know that they will no longer fall victim to them... for that to happen we need the ENTIRE TEAM to show up, not just Pavs, Hank and Nick.

That was a terribly played game by the Wings imo... if they play like this on Sunday against the Sharks we will be losing to them once again.
It's unfortunate that a win against one of the better teams in the league, in which the Wings outshot their opponent at a 3:2 ratio, is not good enough for you.
If you expect perfection in every game from any team whatsoever in any league in any country on earth, you will end up disappointed.

Here's hoping the Wings win on Sunday against SJ, because I'm going to be at the game Thursday vs. Vancouver. It'll be fun to be in the crowd if the streak is still going.

As facilities manager at the Star Island Family Retreat and Conference Center, it was Jack Farrell's job to get the generator fixed. Today, his job also involves planning for its replacement as part of a project that involves one of the largest solar panel installations in northern New England.
"To me that's the whole story. You can hear it constantly. You can smell it. And where this is an environmental sanctuary, we can do better than that," said Farrell.
At 46 acres, Star Island is one of the larger islands in the Isles of Shoals, a small cluster straddling the New Hampshire-Maine line. Dominated by the Oceanic House, a grand hotel dating back to the 1870s, it has been owned since 1916 by the nonprofit Star Island Corporation, which offers religious retreats and educational conferences, as well as accommodations for families and individuals if available.

WESTLAKE, Ohio -- Westlake city officials say they want to be good neighbors in vetting a recycling facility proposed for property just across the border from homes in Bay Village.
Kimble, the company that owns the land behind Westlake's service department on Bassett Road, has a similar recycling operation in Twinsburg Township to serve east-side communities. The 30,000-square-foot center planned in Westlake is meant to serve about 24 cities on the west side.
Jim Bedell, director of Westlake's planning and economic development department, said Westlake's current zoning code does not address recycling facilities. Under proposed legislation, such centers would be added as a conditional use in exclusive industrial zones, such as where the Kimble property is located.
He said the Westlake facility would be used for receiving, separating, packaging and transferring commercial and residential recyclables. By adding a recycling center as a conditional use in the zoning code, Bedell said, Westlake can impose very detailed regulations regarding such things as litter control, odor, sound and cleanliness.
Unlike Kimble's Twinsburg facility, which also serves as a refuse transfer point, the Westlake operation will deal only with recycling.
Company representatives told City Council's Planning, Zoning, Legislative Committee this week that the bulk of the operation will be indoors and that staff will be assigned to pick up any stray papers or other materials that accidentally escape onto the property.
One of the conditions recommended by the Westlake Planning Commission last month is that recycling centers cannot abut land zoned or planned for residential use. The Kimble property meets that test in Westlake.
However, because the property is separated from homes in neighboring Bay Village by only railroad tracks, Westlake Mayor Dennis Clough and council members said they want to make sure they're taking those residents into account.
Councilman Ken Brady said he wanted to be "considerate to our neighbors to the north," adding that Westlake would expect the same consideration from any of its surrounding communities considering a project on the border.
Clough said that Westlake and Bay have a good working relationship and that he already fields calls from Bay Village residents if they have complaints about noise or other issues coming from industries on the Westlake side of the border.
Councilwoman Lynda Appel said she wanted to ensure that litter was controlled because "we don't want to be discourteous to Bay Village."
Among other conditions recommended by the planning commission were that temporary or permanent outside storage of recycled material would not be allowed, that exterior doors would be open only long enough to permit entering or leaving the building and that noise levels would not exceed 60 decibels at the property line of residentially zoned or occupied property.
The council committee, which recommended drafting legislation that would allow the addition of recycling centers as a conditional use in exclusive industrial zoning, also recommended that two other projects be allowed to take a step forward. Councilman Dennis Sullivan, chairman of the committee, emphasized that recommending that legislation be prepared for the three projects is only part of the process necessary for approval.
The Lutheran Home at Concord Reserve wants a conditional use permit to provide a 6,500-square-foot occupational health clinic on its 23-acre campus at 2116 Dover Center Road. The clinic would be in unused space in a now-closed residential wing.
Lutheran Home representatives said the clinic would serve residents, staff and other organizations that contracted for services. There would be no walk-in traffic.
Lakeshore Adult Center also is seeking a conditional use permit to open an adult day care center at 26115 and 26121 Center Ridge Road. Bedell said the center would serve about 20 clients with disabilities and three staff members.

Quotes and Information in today's Colts Notebook are provided courtesy of the Indianapolis Colts Public Relations Department.
Giving up Big Returns
Sunday's game against the New England Patriots started nicely with the Colts leading as they quickly jumped out to a 14-7 lead, but the momentum quickly turned when the Patriots' Julian Edelman ran a punt back 68 yards for a touchdown. From there, it became one of those games in which everything seemed to fall apart. The Colts gave up two quick scores without New England's elite offense even taking the field, part of a 21 point run. Colts Punter Pat McAfee likened it to a perfect storm.
"It was definitely a switch from the penalty getting called back, to me hitting a not so good punt, and then the guy hitting the lane," McAfee said about Edelman's return. "It was a perfect storm of all the bad things that could have happened on that play. Whenever you have a quarterback like Tom Brady, you can't give him points on special teams.
"Yeah, I think whenever you are playing professional athletes, you have to be on your "A" game at all times. Edelman is a heck of a player. We just didn't take advantage of our opportunities. Two big returns by the same guy is just not comforting at all."
Tough Day for Andrew Luck
Andrew Luck posted his fifth 300+ yard passing game, a rookie record. Beyond that, it was a frustrating outing for the young quarterback. Luck threw three interceptions and, despite his yardage total, had a quarterback rating of just 63.3 for the game.
Bruce Arians was asked if the Patriots did anything special to cause Luck to struggle. "Just bad throws," he said. "No, they didn't do anything different. That's all hype. We've just got to play better."
Offensive Tackle Winston Justice is confident in his quarterback's ability to learn from the unpleasant experience and bounce back. "He's really good at improving," Justice said, "using the good and bad to get better. As an NFL player, you have to use those opportunities. I think Andrew is really good at that; he's really poised and I think he's going to do a great job getting better."
"Its fundamentals," added Arians about Luck's struggles, particularly his second interception. " I mean, you can't throw them that late and he knows it. We talked about it and he was mad at himself. And that is the beauty of him.
"He will come off [the field] and tell you exactly what he is thinking and we don't hide anything between each other. So, it was something he knew that he couldn't do and he did it anyway. I don't think he thought Reggie [Wayne] was going to be that clean. And he threw it out there late and inside and you can't do that."
You Don't Forget a Game Like That
Sunday was tough day to watch, and likely a tough day to be, and Indianapolis Colt. When a team experiences a blowout loss like the one that happened in Massachusetts on Sunday, some might suggest the best thing to do is to erase it, forget it, so one doesn't dwell on it. Offensive Coordinator/Interim Coach Bruce Arians does not see it that way.
"No, you better remember it," said Arians. "You better damn remember it. Because you hope to be back here, and you don't want to forget it. You don't throw things away in this business, you learn from them. We will watch this tape real hard tomorrow. We won't burn it and go to the next one. We will watch it and learn from it. Each guy individually and us collectively as a coaching staff and a group. And we will get better for it."
"Why would you?" Wide Receiver Reggie Wayne said. "Whenever you get taken behind the woodshed it's kind of hard to forget. Hopefully we take care of business and make sure we come back in this stadium."
"He knows that football games like this happen," Running Back Vick Ballard added referring to Coach Arians, "but we have to put it behind us and keep moving forward."
Learn From it, and Bounce Back from it
These types of games happen in the NFL. The next day, the players relive it all, breaking down every minute detail in the film rooms. They have to learn from what happened, and find everything they can possibly correct. Then, after a day off, it's back to practice and time to prepare for the next opponent. Much can be learned from a brutal loss like the one the Colts experienced this week.
Colts Kicker Adam Vinatieri, when asked about whether the game could be seen as growing pains for the young team said, "This is one of those games that if you don't play well and you have a lot of mistakes or things that go the wrong way, any team in this league can embarrass you at any given time. We just need to play a little bit better all the way around. We don't need to reinvent the wheel; we just have to play better"
Outside Linebacker Robert Mathis, talking about positives to take from the blowout loss to the Patriots, said, "There is a whole lot because last year at this time we were 0-9, so trust me, if there is anyone that knows how to bounce back, it's the veterans on this team. We are not going to get our heads down, we are going to take this as a lesson and move on."
Andrew Luck, on looking forward: "I think we're going to have to get over this game, obviously. We're going to have to be critical of ourselves. We do realize we are still in a decent position to hopefully accomplish something.
"Buffalo is the next opponent. It's going to be tough. It's going to be rockin' at Lucas Oil [Stadium] hopefully. But, we'll learn from this though. I don't think we'll brush it under the rug and not watch the film; we'll learn from our mistakes and hopefully improve."

Snapshots of Safe and Unsafe Abortion Around the World
On Friday, September 28, Pathfinder International joins thousands around the world for the Global Day of Action for Safe, Legal Abortion. We asked a few of our stellar staff around the world for their thoughts and stories about the importance of safe abortion. Below are a few excerpts. Share your thoughts about why you believe access to safe abortion is important in the comments section below.
My Experience in Tanzania
Jayne Lyons, Director of Operations, Pathfinder International Tanzania
"Not long ago I had a personal experience with a friend who experienced the barriers to safe abortion in Tanzania first hand. When I met "Josie," a young, beautiful woman and mother of one son, she had just started a relationship with a man who loved and cared for her son. Her mother was against the union and took Josie for a back-street abortion. Josie started to bleed heavily and her partner came to me for help because he knew I worked in the area of reproductive health.
It was night time so I called one of the Pathfinder clinical staff to get help for Josie who had been turned away at the hospital because she could not pay for an ultrasound or the doctor fees to get care. With the intervention of the Pathfinder staff who knew the district medical officer, Josie was admitted for emergency care. Yet, even with this assistance, she was given a D&C without anesthesia while the doctor mistreated her, verbally accusing her of immorality. The doctor provided such bad care that Josie ended up with an injury that needed special care at the fistula repair center.
Josie and her partner are using a family planning method now, following the advice of the Pathfinder clinical officer to wait at least 6 months before trying to get pregnant. Josie's mother is more accepting now that she saw the partner's helpful actions and the concern for her daughter. Yet, why did Josie have to suffer so?
With better trained staff, non-judgmental providers and modern techniques, much of this suffering could have been avoided. For me the barriers to safe abortion here—and worldwide—are the legal definition of when an abortion can be provided and the steps that have to be taken to obtain a legal abortion: the lack of trained medical staff in MVA and medical abortion; lack of adequate medical for women regarding contraception in general to prevent unplanned, unwanted pregnancies."
The Need in Ghana
John Lazame Tindanbil, Programme Officer, Pathfinder International Ghana
"Unsafe abortion in Ghana is very serious across all regions, districts, and communities. Almost every day there is a story about a death due to unsafe abortion. The nature of the problem varies from community to community. Two examples highlight the challenges surrounding abortion:
1. At the community level, quack "doctors" administer local herbs to women seeking abortion services. Some of these fake doctors use sticks to insert into the vagina to destroy the fetus or for the stick to absorb fluid and dilate the cervix, but in the process, the uterus, cervix, or other organs are perforated. Sticks have been removed from women's wombs at the hospital.
2. Some non-professional hospital or clinic staff perform unsafe abortions in their places with instruments they haven't been trained to use, and in the process they damage internal organs. Intestines pulled through the vagina is a classic example of unsafe abortion done by this untrained, or poorly trained health providers.
But there is hope and change is happening. Pathfinder International's Comprehensive Abortion Care Project (SAAF funded) has changed the situation to some extent in the northern part of Ghana. Many community members have been sensitized on the dangers of unsafe abortion, and more education on the law has been done so that women would know their rights. More facilities have also been supported to start safe abortion services. In addition, staff, mainly midwives, have been trained who now have positive attitudes, and have the needed skills to perform safe abortion, especially in accepting young women and learning to support them through the abortion process and provide good contraceptive services on the spot. These interventions have reduced significantly the incidence of unsafe abortion in the three northern regions. Stigma has been significantly reduced, and more access to safe abortion has been created.
Although much has been done, more access to safe abortion needs to be created. There are more districts in the northern region that are yet to start up comprehensive abortion care services. In an effort to create access, Pathfinder with Ghana Health Services started a pilot project of moving comprehensive abortion care services beyond district hospitals to the sub-district level. More of such efforts are needed to bring information and services to the doorsteps of the people.
In addition, there is the need to involve more private service providers to improve upon the quality of services they provide. Comprehensive abortion care services have to be communicated in a better way to the client through provision of services at adolescent corners, make services more affordable (reduced cost), create more dialogue to include CAC coverage in insurance plans, etc."
What I See in South Africa
Zandi Bakaco, Program Specialist, Pathfinder International South Africa
"In my daily work in Pathfinder supported Youth-Friendly Abortion Services (SAAF funded), I encounter great need of all kinds. Here are a few quotes from clients I've worked with recently:
- "I came expecting to be judged, I was surprised by the warm attitude and caring environment in this clinic."
- "I tried everything I heard of that could cause me to abort but failed. I did not want to come to the clinic as I thought it would be a long process. [The clinic service] was simple and safer than what I tried. I become nervous to think that I could have died."
- "I was gang raped because I am a lesbian. They said they are going to teach me how to behave as a girl. This pregnancy reminds me of the painful experience. I do not know who the father is and I cannot continue with this pregnancy."
- "I was repeatedly raped by my own brother since I was young. My mother knows about it, she does not want me to talk about it. Every time he is drunk he sleeps with me. I do not have a place of my own and cannot move out. I cannot have my own brother's child."
- "I am a university student and I admit, I did not use protection. I did not think about pregnancy. I am doing my final year and cannot afford a child right now. I have to terminate this pregnancy!"
These quotes remind me of the great need that's there, and the benefit of investing in programs that support women of all ages in accessing safe abortion."

With just three weeks left in the regular season, and the Redskins in the playoff hunt for the first time in four years, it's time to start rooting hard for some of the other NFC teams to trip up so that your beloved Redskins can make the postseason.
Dallas, Seattle, New York and Minnesota proved to be very uncooperative to the Redskins' playoff hunt. All of them came away with wins. Two of them were big (Seattle and New York). The other two were narrow, like (Dallas and Minnesota).
There is a big opportunity for the Redskins to finally boost themselves into the top six of the NFC if they can win in Cleveland. The other NFC teams in the playoff picture play tougher games (although Cleveland has been very good lately) with the exception of Seattle.
Here's a guide of what to watch for this next Sunday. If you are fortunate enough to have NFL RedZone or Sunday Ticket, then this guide is definitely for you.
