The Ever-Popular qstat Command
qstat with the -a option is well-known, as it tells whether your work is moving forward. Other interesting, albeit less urgent, questions are also answered by qstat . For instance:
If you wonder,
- What are all the queues on the system?
- Which queues have been stopped?
Type: qstat
- What are the PE and time limits on the queues?
Type: qstat -m
- What's the <request-id> of my job?
- Is my job waiting, queued, running, or held?
Type: qstat -a
- Has my job (<request-id>) been checkpointed?
- When did it start?
- How many CPU-Seconds has it burned?
Type: qstat -f <request-id>
- In a given queue (<queue-name>) what's the maximum number of PEs?
- Longest run-time?

Prefix Computations on Symmetric Multiprocessors
By David R. Helman and Joseph Ja'Ja'. Technical Report Number: CS-TR-3915 and UMIACS-TR-98-38. Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS) and the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, July 1998.
-The paper is available in PostScript format via WWW at: http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/research/EXPAR/papers/3915.html
We introduce a new optimal prefix computation algorithm on linked lists which builds upon the sparse ruling set approach of Reid-Miller and Blelloch. Besides being somewhat simpler and requiring nearly half the number of memory accesses, we can bound our complexity with high probability instead of merely on average. Moreover, whereas Reid-Miller and Blelloch targeted their algorithm for implementation on a vector multiprocessor architecture, we develop our algorithm for implementation on the symmetric multiprocessor architecture (SMP). These symmetric multiprocessors dominate the high-end server market and are currently the primary candidate for constructing large scale multiprocessor systems. Our prefix computation algorithm was implemented in C using POSIX threads and run on three symmetric multiprocessors - the DEC AlphaServer, the Silicon Graphics Power Challenge, and the HP-Convex Exemplar. We ran our code using a variety of benchmarks which we identified to examine the dependence of our algorithm on memory access patterns. For some problems, our algorithm actually matched or exceeded the optimal sequential solution using only a single thread. Moreover, in spite of the fact that the processors must compete for access to main memory, our algorithm still resulted in scalable performance up to 16 processors, which was the largest platform available to us.

The seeds of rich galaxy clusters in the Universe
By F. Governato, C.M. Baugh, C.S. Frenk, S. Cole, C.G. Lacey, T. Quinn, & J. Stadel. Nature 392, 359-361, 1998.
A copy of this and other papers, and images from various simulations run with PKDGRAV, are available at the following URL:
Project description:
Combining large N-body simulations with semy-analytical methods that describe the formation and evolution of galaxies, the authors were able to clarify the link between the recently observed high redshift galaxies and present day galaxies. In fact, the regions of space where clusters are forming at high redshift also host the brightest galaxies at that epoch. Those primeval galaxies will rapidly make stars and merge together to form the massive aggregates of stars called elliptical galaxies that populate present day galaxy clusters. This work was part of an extended collaboration between researchers of two different institutions: University of Washington (WA) and the University of Durham (UK). For the simulations, a parallel treecode named PKDGRAV was used. The code has been developed at UW by Joachim Stadel and Tom Quinn.

(You Think YOU'VE Got Parallelism?) DNA Computing
The term "parallelism" seems a little awkward when used to describe the simultaneous sprouting of grass seed tossed on a suburban yard, or the dissolving of sodium chloride spooned into a pot of boiling vermicelli. It's used in discussions of DNA computing, however, which is based on similarly biological/chemical processes, quite unlike the bit-twiddling and MPI broadcasting we all know and love.
So, what is DNA computing?
In its August, 1998 issue (v 279, n 2, p 54), Scientific American ran a nice article on it, written by Leonard Adleman, who made made the first DNA computation way back in 1994. To learn more, you might read that article or (of course) do a web search--where you're guaranteed some hits.
For now, here's a brief intro, condensed from the sciam article.
A DNA molecule can be thought of as a long string of A's, T's, G's, and C's (representing adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine). This is logically similar to a strings of 0's and 1's, and while nature uses such molecules to encode things like hairiness, we can now use them to encode, say, integers.
We have some operations we can perform on DNA molecules:
- duplicate them
- create their compliments
- bind (or concatenate) them
- search them for a predetermined subsequence and cut them at that point
- sort a collection of DNA molecules based on length
- from a collection, select (and separate) individuals containing a predetermined subsequence
- synthesize them with any arbitrary sequence (up to a length of 100)
While this is not exactly an FFT library, people are inventing algorithms using these operations, and solving problems.
"Parallelism" occurs because, rather than performing these operations on individual molecules in serial fashion, we perform them on an entire collection (10^14 molecules in a test tube, for instance) simultaneously.
Adleman showed the potential of DNA computing by solving the Hamiltonian path problem on a graph of seven nodes and 14 paths. Here's his algorithm, as printed in Scientific American:
Given a graph with n vertices,
- generate a set of random paths through the graph
for each path in the set:
- check whether that path starts at the start vertex and ends at the end vertex. If not, remove that path from the set.
- check if that path passes through exactly n vertices. If not, remove that path from the set.
- for each vertex, check if that path passes through that vertex. If not, remove that path from the set.
- If the set is not empty, then report that there is a Hamiltonian path. If the set is empty report that there is no Hamiltonian path.
The laboratory methods sound pretty clunky (and I assume they've been better automated by now), and it took him a week to actually execute the algorithm on "live" DNA.
Very briefly, the process involved inventing an appropriate encoding for each of the nodes in the graph, using A, G, C, and T; then having a commercial lab synthesize actual DNA molecules (trillions of individual molecules) corresponding to the encodings; then mixing the the molecules together in a test tube, adding enzymes, adjusting the temperature, decanting, etc. in order to execute the various operations; and, finally, "reading" off the answer to verify that it was correct.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A: {{ I am wasting too much time in re-compilation. Is parallel make available on the T3E? }} You can simulate parallel make by setting the NPROC environment for use by the compiler. ARSC requests that users keep NPROC set at or below a value of 4. Here's an excerpt from "man cc" or "man f90": ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES The following environment variables are taken from the execution environment. NPROC Specifies the number of processes used for simultaneous compilations. The default is 1. When more than one source file is specified on the command line, compilations may be multiprocessed by setting the environment variable NPROC to a value greater than 1. You can set NPROC to any value, but large values can overload the system. Q: How do I determine which version of f90 I am using?

I know there is a way to convert a 1919 to use 7.62x54r ... i think BarrelExchange does these conversions. But I'd like to do most of the work myself to "spare" parts I've been collecting as I have little money to finish the build with. (BTW, anyone got a 1919 bolt they wanna unload?)
I will have to send a .308 barrel to BE to have it chambered correctly. But the other parts can't be too hard to re-engineer.
My question is this - has anyone seen a tutorial / build it yourself info for this conversion, or is it BEs design only?
It would just be nice to have the ability to shoot some cheap commie surplus instead of high-dollar NATO rounds.

Hi everyone!
I plan on starting two hives, from two 5-frame nucs, in a rural area of NC. I have approx an acre of fallow land. Rather than gamble on quality/quantity etc of letting the wildflowers grow out, I have decided to try to plant a bit of buckwheat, approx 1 acre.
I got really interested in growing it as a honey crop after reading about buckwheat honey, and had an opportunity to try some last night at the beekeepers meeting, and just fell in love with it. I found locally sourced seed as well, so I am super anxious to try it out.
I plan on planting quite a bit of Golden rod as well, for a fall crop to help my girls with winter stores.
So my questions:
First off, is this enough land for primarily buckwheat honey? I understand it would probably take much more land to isolate the hives enough to make it "pure", but I figured a relatively small plot would add quite a bit of unique character, hopefully helping me sell my unique local honey.
What kind of yield can I expect with two 8-frame hives from nucs? Does your answer give me surplus, or total?
One of the "oldtimers" (not to sound derogatory) told me that it would take only three weeks to bloom. He also said that I can chop 'em down and get another bloom from them when they finished. Does anyone with experience growing buckwheat know if this is possible?
Can I use the mowed buckwheat as hay for my chickens?
As far as the goldenrod, I figured if I left a bit of the "buckwheat" honey behind, and just had some supplemental goldenrod growing near by, it would help build stores for the winter, I plan on leaving 2 medium supers, as I am told this is a good amount for my area, and goldenrod blooms in the fall. We have rather mild winters here.
Also, if anyone sees any problems, or tweaks to my plan, I'm all ears!

Reports: Season-ending knee surgery a possibility for Sixers' Andrew Bynum
By Rob Mahoney
The 76ers made a good, sensible deal in essentially trading Andre Iguodala, Nikola Vucevic and Moe Harkless for budding star center Andrew Bynum, but even good, sensible deals are subject to twists of fate.
Since making that deal over the summer, the Sixers have yet to see Bynum on the court for a single game, and, according to John Mitchell of the Philadelphia Inquirer (as confirmed by Jason Wolf of USA Today), their prized acquisition -- who is set to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season -- could soon undergo an arthroscopic surgery that would eliminate any chance that he might play this season. That means that Philadelphia's gamble will end in one of two ways:
- With the Sixers committing long term to a player who has undergone two knee surgeries and played no games in roughly a year.
- With the Sixers having traded a talented all-around player and three young assets (including a protected first-round pick) while getting nothing in return.
It's a tough situation, and the outcome will undoubtedly come down to Bynum's target contract and the scary possibilities involved in a player this good and this injury-prone hitting the open market. Some team or another is virtually guaranteed to take a chance on Bynum, as his potential is great enough for many franchises to justify accepting a significant risk. Comments in Wolf's report from general manager Tony DiLeo suggest that the Sixers are still very much interested in retaining Bynum beyond this year, but DiLeo admits that there's no way to take a definitive stance at present given how little is known about Bynum's current value:
"We haven't seen him out on the court," DiLeo said, "so we don't have all the answers, and hopefully we'll get some answers. It's always been our goal to see him healthy, out on the court with us. So far we haven't been able to see that."
The Sixers would have enough room to sign other quality players should they opt to forfeit Bynum's Bird Rights and cap hold, but Bynum remains a terrific talent at a clear position of need. He'd be a nice fit alongside the other solidified members of the Sixers' core, and has flashed the kind of talent necessary to function as a team's best offensive player. That's an alluring combination -- so alluring, in fact, that it could wind up being Philadelphia's undoing. The Sixers obviously have a vested interest in signing Bynum. They gave up a considerable amount to acquire Bynum in the first place, and the motivation to validate that investment -- the process of trading for Bynum, his rehabilitation, his time with team personnel and the long wait for his return -- could urge Philadelphia to keep him around. If not, he'll surely find a home. Players this productive don't tend to go unclaimed, though Bynum may have to consider a short-term deal in order to persuade a team to sign him. That, too, could put Philadelphia in a bad negotiating position; the one thing the Sixers have working in their favor above all else is that they can offer Bynum more money than any other suitor. This entire episode puts Philadelphia directly at the center of a tricky situation. Bynum's decision looms as one of the tidal elements of the 2013 offseason.

text: Another thing you should consider is Alsike Clover. It does well in poorly drained soils, the bees love it and I have read it doesn't need as much calcium to grow. I always see them on it, and if you mow it down it usually grows back and flowers again. I think we have white clover here as well, the bees seem to like it, but it doesn't grow around here nearly as much as Alsike, and it often doesn't seem quite as vigorous. However, that is just my experience, and we have a different climate and likely a different soil type than you.

Wyden & Ryan Advance Bipartisan Plan to Strengthen Medicare and Expand Health Care Choices for All
New Proposal Represents Emerging Consensus on Saving Medicare Guarantee, Expanding Health Care Choices for Workers
Washington, December 15, 2011 | Conor Sweeney (Ryan) 202-226-6100 Jennifer Hoelzer (Wyden) 202-224-3789 |
This morning, U.S. Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) and U.S. Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI) introduced a new proposal that represents a major advance in the effort to build a more secure future for the millions of seniors who rely on Medicare.
The new report from Sen. Wyden and Rep. Ryan, titled "Guaranteed Choices to Strengthen Medicare and Health Security for All: Bipartisan Options for the Future," outlines a bipartisan path forward on expanding health care choices for seniors while preserving a traditional Medicare plan as an option. The report also proposes to give Americans under 65 more power and freedom to purchase coverage they can carry with them into retirement.
Sen. Ron Wyden had this to say about the proposal:

Beetles Still Yielding New Discoveries for Biology Professor
Sonoma State biology professor Nathan Rank visits Bishop so often, "it's almost like a second home," he says, speaking on a spotty cell phone connection from the eastern California mountain town of Bishop. He's been spending summers surrounded by breathtaking scenery of the Sierra Nevada since 1984 studying the montane leaf beetle, and will continue to do so for the next three years thanks to a $400,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.
"We are looking at how genetic differentiations within populations might help survive a really wet or dry year." He adds, "Since this year is extremely dry year, we are making sure to document the populations very carefully."
Ensuring Success For Migrant Students
For students across the nation, graduating from high school is a celebratory achievement. This task is made much more difficult for children of migrant farm workers and low-income families with no knowledge in guiding their kids to obtain higher education. To counteract the disadvantages facing migrant students, Sonoma State University has created a program modeled after the California Mini-Corps program called the Migrant Education Advisor Program (MEAP).
Seawolf Scholars Helps Foster Youth Navigate College
"My mom passed away a week before my freshman year of high school, and I knew that education would be my fallback," says Chris Villedo, a freshman sociology major at Sonoma State University. "So the next four years I really focused on my education." He says Seawolf Scholars, a foster youth assistance program started last semester, has already helped guide him through financial aid, register for classes and navigate complex paperwork and registration requirements. "Having programs like this on campus helps students be more confident about what they want to do in college," says Villedo.
May is National Foster Care Month, and Sonoma State University's new Seawolf Scholars program is helping former foster youth navigate the new and turbulent world of college life.
SSU Technician Shoots Giant Laser at the Moon
More than four decades may have passed since man has set foot on the moon, but last year Sonoma State University equipment technician Steve Anderson shot a giant laser at it.
Working in conjunction with a local Sonoma County laser light show studio, Anderson created a 100-Watt laser projector, over 20,000 times more powerful than a typical handheld laser. Anderson demonstrated the laser as part of a visual display the night before the launch of the Orion Spacecraft at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida on December 5, and participated in the Holidays in Space events later that month.
SSU Professor on the Cutting Edge of Wearable Technology
The Apple Watch is the latest gadget in the wearable technology game, but it's not the first, or certainly the last, wireless communication device that will live on our bodies. Sonoma State University engineering science professor Haider Khaleel says the revenue of the wearable technology field is estimated to be $28 billion over the next five years.
"I have been amazed by these wearable electronics since they emerged about 14 years ago," says Khaleel, who specializes in wearable technology and published a textbook on the subject last year.
Two Student Films Selected For Prestigious Cannes Film Fest
Sonoma State University senior Alex Bretow was working on the set of a new Steve Jobs biography film when he got the email on March 16: "Congratulations, you've been officially accepted into the Cannes CMF program!" Says Bretow, "I literally ran outside and was jumping up and down."
When the producer/director called his filmmaking partner and fellow SSU student, writer/producer Mary-Madison Baldo, she had a similar reaction "I literally screamed," she says. "I was home for spring break, so I tripped up the stairs yelling, 'Mom!' She came out of her bedroom in a panic because she thought that I had hurt myself or something."

Women represent 24 percent of the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) workforce in the United States, a figure that's risen only 3 percent since 1993 according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. But a new club at Sonoma State University is working to close the gender gap.
"We already have an electrical engineering club, which is geared toward the boys," says Alyssa Afa'ese, electrical engineering major and president of SSU's new Society For Women Engineers club. "Women are underrepresented in our major, so we wanted to start and organization where women can work together."
The club began in fall 2014 and is working to inspire young women at Sonoma State to pursue their interest in engineering science. Afa'ese believes many women are apprehensive about joining the engineering department because of its low percentage of female students.
SSU Grad Student Brings New Life to Biology Specimens
At 70, Sonoma State University graduate biology student Nicole Karres doesn't need another career.

Particularly grateful are the jarred fish, amphibian and reptile specimens she has taken to cleaning and re-preserving for future researchers like herself.
SSU Geology Students Study Prehistoric Life in the Canadian Rockies
Twelve hearty souls from the SSU geology department took a six-day field trip in early September to the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia and Alberta to explore the world-renown Burgess Shale, a UNESCO world heritage site widely lauded as the most important fossil locality in the world.
This field trip ran in conjunction with the upper level Geology elective course, GEL321: Burgess Shale Paleontology, a class taught since 2003 by paleontologist Matt James.
The fossils of Burgess Shale were discovered in 1909 during construction of the Trans-Canadian Railway. These 505-million-year-old fossils, remnants of creatures that once lived in a shallow sea, are the best record of the period of time after the appearance of modern hard-shelled multicellular animals and have proved pivotal to the study of paleontology. They are located in the majestic Canadian Rockies on the eastern border of British Columbia, surrounded by stunningly beautiful mountains shaped by numerous glaciers--in short, a geologist's heaven!

Students at Pulaski Technical College and other Arkansas public two-year colleges will benefit from a grant awarded to the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in partnership with the Arkansas Association of Two-Year Colleges (AATYC).
The grant, which is funded by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, expands the current Arkansas Research & Education Optical Network (AREON) to the 22 public two-year colleges in the state. The network will improve the colleges' ability to deliver distance learning. Two-year colleges will also have new opportunities to collaborate to expand course and program offerings by sharing curriculum and other resources that benefit students.
To manage fiber construction and connectivity at the two-year colleges, UAMS will grant a sub-award to AREON, the state's only publicly owned fiber optic network currently serving four-year universities. Spending from the grant will include $41.2 million for equipment and construction of fiber optic network routes to serve community colleges. The project is expected to be completed in three years.
"This grant will fund PTC's most significant technological advance since it originally connected to the Internet 20 years ago," said David Durr, dean of information technology for Pulaski Tech. "By connecting to AREON, the college will be able to provide new services to students including media-enhanced distance education courses, teleconferencing and access to many new sources of information."
Improving distance education through high-speed Internet access will provide rural and working Arkansans with new opportunities to pursue higher education and skills training.
Broadband Internet access will improve the ability of two-year colleges to meet the training needs of businesses/industries in their communities, and well as attract new businesses and industries.
"This grant will allow Pulaski Tech to utilize state-of-the art networking technology as we strive to provide the best learning environment for our students," said Pulaski Technical College President Dan F. Bakke. "We are thrilled to participate in this partnership."
Key partners in the project include the Arkansas Research and Education Optical Network, Arkansas Association of Two-Year Colleges, Arkansas Department of Health, Arkansas Department of Human Services, Baptist Health, Arkansas Hospital Association, Arkansas State Library and Community Health Centers of Arkansas.

Water vapour: feedback or forcing?
When surface temperatures change (whether from CO2 or solar forcing or volcanos etc.), you can therefore expect water vapour to adjust quickly to reflect that. To first approximation, the water vapour adjusts to maintain constant relative humidity. It's important to point out that this is a result of the models, not a built-in assumption. Since approximately constant relative humidity implies an increase in specific humidity for an increase in air temperatures, the total amount of water vapour will increase adding to the greenhouse trapping of long-wave radiation. This is the famed 'water vapour feedback'. A closer look reveals that for a warming (in the GISS model at least) relative humidity increases slightly in the tropics, and decreases at mid latitudes.
How do we know that the magnitude of this feedback is correctly simulated? A good test case is the response to the Pinatubo eruption. This caused cooling for up to 3 years after the eruption – plenty of time for water vapour to equilibriate to the cooler sea surface temperatures. Thus if models can simulate the observed decrease of water vapour at this time, it would be a good sign that they are basically correct. A good paper that demonstrated this was Soden et al (2002) (and the accompanying comment by Tony DelGenio). They found that using the observed volcanic aerosols as forcing the model produced very similar cooling to that observed. Moreover, the water vapour in the total column and in the upper troposphere decreased in line with satellite observations, and helped to increase the cooling by about 60% – in line with projections for increasing greenhouse gases.
To be sure there are still some lingering uncertainties. Some recent data indicates that tropical upper tropopsheric water vapour does not quite keep up with constant relative humidity (Minschwaner and Dessler, 2004) (though they still found that the feedback was positive). Moist convection schemes in models are constantly being refined, and it's possible that newer schemes will change things . However, given the Pinatubo results, the models are probably getting the broader picture reasonably correct.

[Translate to Français:]
Airbus will build on the strengths of its diversity, innovation and services to remain a global leader in commercial and military aircraft, with the focus on meeting the requirements of a growing global customer base.
This is the outlook of Fabrice Brégier, the new Airbus President and CEO, today succeeding Thomas Enders – who becomes the CEO of parent company EADS.
Brégier has been Airbus' Chief Operating Officer since 2006, with responsibilities that included overseeing its wide-ranging restructuring and change programme, and guiding the Executive Committee functions in operations, engineering and procurement.
"Since joining Airbus, I have realized the importance of our unique resources – bringing together many more skills and talents than anyone else in the industry," Brégier told journalists during the company's Innovation Days briefings at its Toulouse, France headquarters last week. "We have a unique organization and a unique setup, which is a source of pride for me and the people at Airbus."
He said that while the Airbus business model may seem complex – being built on a structure with four cornerstone European countries, and involving a growing system of international collaboration, as well as an extended risk-sharing network of supplier partners – it brings strength through diversity.
"We always are confronted in a positive way by this diverse environment: Airbus employees represent more than 100 nationalities, which we want to develop further; and Airbus works with 2,000 suppliers across the world as we continue to increase our relationships into other countries," Brégier explained. "This is a plus, because when there is the same profile across a group, it stops innovating and stops being challenged."
The intelligent application of innovation also is an important resource at Airbus, with Brégier citing the A320neo (new engine option) as an example.
"Innovation does not always mean developing something all-new, as demonstrated by A320neo," he said. "When others were saying that a brand new aircraft was the only way to go in the single-aisle market, we understood the needed technologies were not yet mature.

A nice, small, little unincorporated area in the Montville Township in New Jersey. It has alot a of woods, and is kinda ex-urban (which means there are like trees between all the houses, unlike in the suburbs where houses are right next to each other). There is also a renovated train station there that replaced the abandoned Montville Station. Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice lives there in her beautiful 10,000 + square footed mansion, which is frequently featured on the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

|ACS 2009-3yr Summary File: Technical Documentation -> Appendix A. Supplemental Documentation -> 2009 Subject Definitions -> Population Variables -> Marital Status/Marital History
The data on marital status and marital history were derived from answers to Questions 20 through 23. The marital status question is asked to determine the status of the person at the time of interview. Many government programs need accurate information on marital status, such as the number of married women in the labor force, elderly widowed individuals, or young single people who may establish homes of their own. The marital history data enables multiple agencies to more accurately measure the effects of federal and state policies and programs that focus on the well-being of families. Marital history data can provide estimates of marriage and divorce rates and duration, as well as flows into and out of marriage. This information is critical for more refined analyses of eligibility for program services and benefits, and of changes resulting from federal policies and programs. Before 2008, the marital status question was asked of all people. Beginning in 2008, the question on marital status was asked only for people 15 years old and over. People 15 and over were asked whether they were "now married," "widowed," "divorced," "separated," or "never married." People in common-law marriages were allowed to report the marital status they considered the most appropriate. When marital status was not reported, it was imputed according to the person's relationship to the householder, sex, and age. Differences in the number of married males and females occur because there is no step in the weighting process to equalize the weighted estimates of husbands and wives.
Never Married
Includes all people who have never been married, including people whose only marriage(s) was annulled.
Ever Married
Includes people ever married at the time of interview (including those "now married," "separated," "widowed," or "divorced").
Now Married, Except Separated
Includes people whose current marriage has not ended through widowhood, divorce, or separation (regardless of previous marital history). The category may also include couples who live together or people in common-law marriages if they consider this category the most appropriate. In certain tabulations, currently married people are further classified as "spouse present" or "spouse absent." For federal definitions, "now married" does not include same-sex married people even if the marriage was performed in a state issuing marriage certificates for same-sex couples.
Includes people legally separated or otherwise absent from their spouse because of marital discord. Those without a final divorce decree are classified as "separated." This category also includes people who have been deserted or who have parted because they no longer want to live together but who have not obtained a divorce.
Includes widows and widowers who have not remarried.
Includes people who are legally divorced and who have not remarried. Those without a final divorce decree are classified as "separated." In selected tabulations, data for married and separated people are reorganized and combined with information on the presence of the spouse in the same household.
Now Married
All people whose current marriage has not ended by widowhood or divorce. This category includes people defined above as "separated."
- Spouse Present - Married people whose wife or husband was reported as a member of the same household, including those whose spouses may have been temporarily absent for such reasons as travel or hospitalization.
- Spouse Absent - Married people whose wife or husband was not reported as a member of the same household or people reporting they were married and living in a group quarters facility.
- Separated - Defined above.
- Spouse Absent, Other - Married people whose wife or husband was not reported as a member of the same household, excluding separated. Included is any person whose spouse was employed and living away from home or in an institution or serving away from home in the Armed Forces.
Median Age at First Marriage
The median age at first marriage is calculated indirectly by estimating the proportion of young people who will marry during their lifetime, calculating one-half of this proportion, and determining the age (at the time of the survey) of people at this half-way mark by osculatory interpolation. It does not represent the actual median age of the population who married during the calendar year. It is shown to the nearest tenth of a year. Henry S. Shryock and Jacob S. Siegel outline the osculatory procedure in Methods and Materials of Demography, First Edition (May 1973), Volume 1.
Marital History
Beginning in 2008, people 15 years and over who were ever married ("married," "widowed," "separated," or "divorced") were asked if they had been married, widowed, or divorced in the past 12 months. They were asked how many times (once, two times, three or more times) they have been married, and the year of their last marriage.
Question/Concept History
The word "current" was dropped from the 1996-1998 question. Since 1999, the question states, "What is this person's marital status?" The American Community Survey began providing the median age at first marriage with the 2004 data. Data on marital history were first collected in 2008 at the request of the Department of Health and Human Services to provide more detailed annual information on the marital status of the population. Before 2008, the marital status question was asked of all people and only tabulated for those 15 and over. In 2008, marital status was moved from the basic demographic section, at the beginning of the ACS questionnaire, to the detailed person section - a part of the questionnaire where questions were asked of only people 15 and over. The marital history questions follow the marital status question on the questionnaire.
Limitation of the Data
Beginning in 2006, the population in group quarters (GQ) is included in the ACS. Some types of GQ populations have marital status distributions that are very different from the household population. The inclusion of the GQ population could therefore have a noticeable impact on the marital status distribution. This is particularly true for areas with a substantial GQ population.
The data on marital status can be compared to previous ACS years and to similar data collected on CPS and SIPP. Marital status is no longer asked on the Decennial Census. The marital history data, and particularly marriage and divorce rates derived from the questions asking if the person got married or divorced in the past 12 months is comparable to vital statistics collected by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS).

The interior had a warm, comfortable feel about it. The new engines will all be direct injection for more power and better fuel economy. I think it will be very well recieved by the public.

All are well. Good location.
Soweit alles in Ordnung. Gute Lage.
My experience with this host was perfect. Everything happened as agreed. The accommodation matched the photos on the site, were clean and with everything we needed for our stay. We have no complaints.
Minha experiência com este anfitrião foi perfeita. Tudo ocorreu conforme o combinado. As acomodações condiziam com as fotos do site, encontravam-se limpas e com tudo o que precisávamos para a estadia. Não temos do que reclamar.
We were happy to share this appartment well-located in Manhattan. We can visit most of touristic place by walk. The metro station is 2 minutes walk from the place. Only we couldn't put the air conditionning on during the night because the system was too noisy. There were 2 bedrooms confortable with all the necessary and the appartment was clean.
The apartment is in accordance with the description and photos, 2 blocks from a subway station and not far from Central Park is ideally situated for exploring Manhattan.
L'appartement est conforme à la description et aux photos, à 2 rues d'une bouche de métro et non loin de Central Park il est idéalement placé pour découvrir Manhattan.
We booked a 2 bed apartment for 4 people: 2 of my elderly aunts and my cousin and I. For the 1st two days we were given this lovely studio apartment near Times Square but we were told that there was a double sofa bed and there wasn't. We had to resort to sleeping on the floor as the sofa bed was only a single! Also, only 1 set of towels were left in the studio for all 4 of us! :-( also no access to wi-fi which was also promised!
Then when we finally got to our actual apartment (the one advertised here) on 1st Avenue we found the following issues:
1) Extremely warm with both bedrooms over looking a very busy and very noisy main road which was noisy ALL night!
2) The electric points in the 2nd bedroom short circuited and blew the lamp bulb 4 times! Also the main light in that bedroom and the main bedroom didnt work.
3) The electric points in the kitchen didnt work so we had to plug in the toaster in the lounge area.
4) Even with the air-conditioner on in the 2 bedrooms the lounge was extremely warm. We raised several work orders for this and although promised a portable air-con unit none was provided. I couldn't sleep on warm nights!
5) In the main bedroom, the air-con unit was old and noisy so along with the noise of the traffic and the air-con no way you can sleep in there!
6) There was always a foul smell in the apartment.
7) Luckily we had a lift but it was always smelt and bounced.
8) The bathroom was old and needs redecorating and at least the shower head descaling as it simply dribbles.
I would NOT recommend this apartment to any future travellers unless you are using the place for storage only.
Aside from the above the apartment was suitably located but always requires a taxi to get to the nearest metro station. Lots of nice restaurants nearby and not so nice ones also.
Staying at this appartement is really great. It is located very centrally (restaurants, shops, metro station in walking distance) and has the perfect size to host 2 couples. I definitely recommend the appartement.
Hello, the apartment is clean, but very sober, soundproofing (miserable very loud!. Nevertheless the good location of the apartment and the easy handling of formalities by the local office helped to a stunning New York stay.
die Wohnung ist sauber, aber sehr nüchtern ausgestattet, die Schallisolierung miserabel (sehr laut!. Trotzdem verhalf die gute Lage des Apartments und die unkomplizierte Abwicklung der Formalitäten durch das Büro vor Ort zu einem beeindruckendem New York-Aufenthalt.
Apartment in a central and very close to the subway. Perfect house for 4 people and cured! I recommend it!
Appartamento in posizione centralissima e molto vicina alla metropolitana. Casa perfetta per 4 persone e curata! la consiglio!
Very well located, but noisy (street 1st floor) If you are sensitive to noise of the city, to avoid. If you are used to city centers, it is perfect.
Trés bien placé, mais bruyant (1er étage sur rue) Si vous êtes sensible aux bruits de la ville, à éviter. Si vous êtes habitués aux centres villes, c'est parfait.
We are super disappointed by the proposed project and the reality! We paid € 400 + that we had booked. Take care to forget site
Nous sommes hyper déçus par le projet proposé et le réalité!
