AW: st: AW: Fitted probabilities using prvalue for logit model

Many thanks for the various alternatives mentioned by Steve and Maarten. I
will try to figure out which one is well suited for my kind of analysis.

Betreff: Re: st: AW: Fitted probabilities using prvalue for logit model
I don't know what you mean by "determine the relative importance of my
additional dummy variables relative to the benchmark model with its
explanatory variables?" But in this case -prvalue- is obviously not
working for you.
How are you measuring "importance"?
If you mean "significance", have you tested the joint significance of
the two variables with -test-? (Adding variables will always increase
the log-likelihood, so "improvement" is not a guide). If the
criterion of importance is "predictive accuracy", then compare ROC
curves for the two models with -roccomp-. Unfortunately, the ROCs for
both models will be systematically optimistic, but the differences
could still be revealing. For better accuracy, some kind of
cross-validation approach is needed.
For cross-validation approaches, see:
An unreferenced Stata program for cross-validation is contained in:
There is also a literature on "proportional reduction in error"
approaches, including partial r-squares. See: Agrestic, Analysis of
Categorical Data, 2nd Ed (2002) Wiley, Chapter 6. Measures of
r-square based on the log-likelihood are difficult to interpret (p.
227). A Google search will turn up many references.
(By the way, -prvalue- is not an official Stata command. I presume it
is user-written. Please, as the FAQ request, give references for all
the non-Stata commands you use.)

Dude, I had the longest "Poop in Public Pause or PPP" in my life. I was at work the other day and couldn't hold my BM 'til I got home. It was going great until someone walked in and didn't leave for what seemed like 15 minutes.

USDA cracks down on Internet pet sales
COLUMBIA, Mo. - The USDA announced Tuesday it's cracking down on Internet pet sales. Breeders selling animals online will now have to be licensed, meaning they abide by federal regulations.
This new regulation applies to dog owners who breed more than four females and sell puppies online.
"The loophole for puppy mills was selling through the internet, mail or on the phone without the ability to see the animals before adoption," said Mary Pat Boatfield, executive director of the Central Missouri Humane Society.
The puppy mill breeders could classify themselves online as a retail pet store. Pet stores are exempt from licensing requirements because buyers can see the animals before they adopt them.
"Now that we are going to have some federal oversight, it will be much better for the animals and be a form of consumer protection for the buyer," said Boatfield.
The state of Missouri does have the Canine Cruelty Prevention Act from 2011. It has strengthened the standards for veterinary care and living conditions of dogs in commercial breeding facilities.

Collision covers damage to your car that's caused when it tips over or collides with another object. For example, if you're driving in a parking lot and you hit another car or bump into a lamp post, or if a shopping cart hits your car, the resulting damage is covered by Collision.
For other damages not covered by Collision, your Comprehensive coverage takes over. Comprehensive covers glass breakage and damage caused by theft, vandalism, wind storm, hail, fire, or earthquakes.
When you purchase both Collision and Comprehensive coverage, you'll get the All Perils coverage, free of charge.
Uninsured Automobile coverage protects you and your family if you're injured or killed by a driver who is not insured, or by a hit-and-run driver. It also covers your car if it's damaged by a driver who's not insured.
Uninsured Automobile coverage is automatically included in your policy, while both Collision and Comprehensive are optional.
To find out which endorsements to include in your insurance policy, read Choosing the Right Kind of Auto Insurance.
If you're getting a chip repaired, you won't have to pay a deductible. In fact, your repair shop may even call us directly and take care of it all for you.
However, if you need to get glass replaced because of more serious damage, you will be subject to a deductible. So, it's a good idea to get those small chips repaired before they grow into a much bigger problem.
Read more about repairing vs. replacing glass.
As a policy holder, you are responsible for informing your insurer of any changes made to your vehicle and/or how it is used. This includes things like vehicle modifications, changes in vehicle use (for example, commercial use), the addition of newly licensed drivers to your household, a change of address, etc.
A vehicle modification includes:
Commercial use means any change in use where the insured vehicle is now used for commercial purposes. For example, if you recently became a painter and you started using your mini-van to carry your paint and equipment, this would be considered commercial use.
You should always notify your insurer when any material change, as outlined above, is made to your vehicle. The risk of this change will be re-evaluated and may result in a premium adjustment. If you make any of the changes described above but don't inform your insurer, the insurer can decide to deny your claim, and may even cancel or void your policy. For example, if you modify your vehicle to give it a turbocharged engine and you end up crashing, you'll most likely be refused coverage for violating your insurance contract.
Note: If your vehicle has been modified because of a medical condition, you should still notify your insurer.
Read other questions and answers about auto insurance.
Generally speaking, your premium will increase if you're at fault in an accident, regardless of whether you're entirely or partially at fault. Tickets and convictions can also affect your premium, depending on the type of offense.
The number of at-fault claims, as well as the number of convictions, and/or the type of conviction (such as impaired driving) that you receive may also impact your eligibility for insurance.

If you need to file a claim following a loss, your insurer will require proof of the loss.
This term refers to proof of possession, ideally, the original bill of sale. Other documents, however, may be accepted, such as:
A Proof of Loss form must be certified by a notary public or commissioner of oaths. Once an insurer receives proof of loss, the claim must be processed quickly. Insurers have:
A deductible is the amount you must pay when you make an insurance claim.
For example, if you have a $500 Collision deductible, you pay the first $500 of the vehicle repair costs, and we pay the rest.
To find out more about this topic, read The Impact of Your Deductible on your Premium.
If you make a claim, your claims advisor will need various documents, including:
If one of your appliances causes water damage or a fire, it's important for you to keep this appliance for assessment.

Water damage insurance covers damages caused by surface or ground water.
Our basic coverage is $10,000; however, you can increase this amount for a higher premium.
To calculate how much insurance you really need, you should estimate the value of all your property and investments that could be damaged if you experience a loss.
Bear in mind that your insurance amount includes not only damage to your home and belongings, but also additional living expenses arising from the loss.
In some cases, $10,000 is plenty. In others, more coverage is definitely necessary.

Drivers are subject to what is popularly known as No-fault insurance, which is actually the mandatory Direct Compensation - Property Damage (DCPD) section of their auto insurance policies (not available in Newfoundland and Labrador). With no-fault insurance, drivers are compensated for damages only by their own insurance companies, based on the extent to which the policy holder is responsible for the accident.
When processing the claims, each driver' insurance company must determine to what extent each driver is responsible for the accident. To determine responsibility, insurers use the guidelines and regulations described in the province's Insurance Act, which includes a set of Fault Determination Rules.
It's always best to repair a chipped windshield as soon as possible, before it develops into a nasty crack. While a chip can usually be fixed, a crack means you'll most likely have to get the glass replaced, or you'll be in danger of it shattering at any time, and causing far more serious damage.
If you have Comprehensive coverage, you're covered for most glass repairs, without having to pay a deductible. Many repair shops will even call your insurer for you, so all you have to do is get it fixed and drive away.
Whether or not the glass can be repaired instead of replaced depends on the size, location and severity of the damage. Most shops can repair quarter-sized chips or cracks up to three inches. However, if the damage is in the corner of the glass, it's far more difficult to repair, and it can compromise the strength of the glass. Anything from a small, flying object to a strong burst of wind could cause the glass to break, which could potentially lead to a crash.
If the damage is such that you have to get the glass replaced, you will be responsible for paying your deductible. So, before that chip gets any bigger than the head of a nail, look for your local glass repair shop and have a qualified glazer inspect the damage.
Comprehensive coverage is not mandatory, but is often required by insurers. To find out more, read Choosing the Right Kind of Auto Insurance.

Quick, Action-Based Battles Meet Today's Consumer Demands for Engaging, On-the-Go Gaming
NEW YORK, NY, May 4, 2006 – Atari, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATAR) today announced the development of BattleZone for the PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) system, a modern update to the 1980 classic arcade game. BattleZone immerses players in an interactive world with relentless onslaughts of quick, action-oriented battles. In development by Paradigm Entertainment, BattleZone for the PSP system will blast onto global terrain in November 2006.
Set in futuristic international military environments, BattleZone puts players in control of highly maneuverable hover tanks, challenging them in close combat scenarios against their rivals.    BattleZone features fast and furious gameplay, photo-realistic environments, eight unique customizable team vehicles, an assortment of high-powered weapons and multiplayer battles. The four-player WiFi mode lets players go head to head, while unlockable weapons, vehicles and upgrades add even greater depth to the gameplay experience. In addition, extra game content will be available through the BattleZone web site, offering gamers news, leader boards and an exclusive online level builder tool that allows players to customize game maps. The extra content can then be downloaded to the players' PSP system through a local PC-USB connection.Â
"The BattleZone arcade game broke the mold for vehicle action combat in 1980, and today's version will reinvent this classic property into a modern day must-have," said Stephen Baer, Senior Product Manager, Atari, Inc. "BattleZone for the PSP system offers the fast-paced action and addictive gameplay that meets the demands of today's on-the-go generation."
BattleZone provides players with six popular and well-known game modes, including Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Team Deathmatch, Hotzone, Knockout, and Fox and Hound. For casual gamers, the single player mode offers an easy learning curve for pick-up and play gaming and a tournament progression to win upgrades and enhancements.Â
Designed to take advantage of the PSP system's high quality display, BattleZone's crisp environments depict military combat arenas from around the world.  Specific sights include abandoned cities of Russia, jungles of China, desert canyons of the United States, Antarctica's frozen tundra and the Canary Islands. Players can fight their way through the compelling open play of ten worlds in BattleZone, two of which can be customized online and transferred to their PSP system.Â
Capitalizing on all the PSP system offers with quick action control, close combat gameplay, familiar game modes and WiFi capabilities, BattleZone will yet again redefine vehicle combat action for the next generation of today's portable gamers.Â

I've wanted to design a 308 AK rifle for a few years now, but could never find a deal on a Saiga 308.
I was down in my buddies basement last week and seen 3 of them, so I did some bartering for one.
I have a new "free float" gas/barrel design I want to build. (I'll keep the details to myself for now.)
I'm collecting parts at this time. Just ordered a Galil gas tube yesterday.
I'm going to piddle with this in my spare time, since motorcycle season is just around the corner.
This is what the forend will look like when it's finished. I need to find a free float AR handguard to modify for this build and have been looking at a 13'' or 15'' version of this one to use. http://vtsupply.com/troy-vtac-alpha-...rail-ar15.html

Gov. Nixon calls for special session starting Monday
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Gov. Jay Nixon is calling state lawmakers back to the Capitol to consider incentives aimed at attracting a massive Boeing Co. production facility to the state.
Officials are hoping to entice Boeing to produce its 777X passenger jet in Missouri. Several other states also have been discussing trying to land the project, and Boeing hopes to make a decision early next year.
Nixon called the special legislative session Friday. It will start Monday, Dec. 2, which is about a month before lawmakers convene their regular session on Jan. 8.
Boeing is already one of Missouri's largest employers, with about 15,000 people including thousands of machinists in the St. Louis area.

As one of German football's most successful and renowned clubs, Hamburger SV provide a perfect partnership for Emirates in a key European market and in February 2012, Emirates renewed its sponsorship with Hamburger SV for another three seasons until June 2015, highlighting the airline's ongoing commitment to Germany and to sports around the world.
In addition to being the football club's main shirt sponsor, the deal includes prominent branding at Imtech Arena, the home of Hamburger SV, as well as promotional and hospitality rights.
At Hamburger SV's home match with rivals Bayern Munich falling just days after the renewal was signed, Emirates had a significant presence in and around the stadium. The airline ran an 'Ultimate Fan Experience' competition in the week leading up to the game, which offered one lucky fan the experience of a lifetime; including a surprise meet and greet home visit from a Hamburger SV player, Emirates chauffeur drive to and from the stadium, behind the scenes stadium tour, a signed Hamburger SV shirt and two "Business Class" seats to watch the match.
Prior to kick-off on the night, the ever popular Emirates Destination Challenge was on hand to entertain the many fans who chose to brave the cold weather and arrive at the stadium early, with over 100 taking kicks for a chance to win return flights to Australia.
Inside the stadium, Emirates cabin crew were on show as the teams emerged from the tunnel and also presented the winner of the 'Spot The Fan' big screen competition with their prize; and exclusive behind the scenes training day with the Hamburger SV squad.
Emirates' impressive football sponsorship portfolio also includes a number of high profile teams and events including Asian Football Confederation, Arsenal FC, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Olympiacos FC, Arsenal Soccer Schools Dubai, The Emirates Cup, and Zain Saudi Professional League.

Thanks again for all the suggestions/recommendations. I do enjoy woodworking and the beehive may look nice; however, i am more concerned with it's function.
During construction, i believe i have a design flaw. I built the front/back taller on both ends and the bars sit snug between them. I have cut several cleats of various sizes for each end to allow a bee space as the bars expand. I am concerned about the front/back with expansion of the top bars. The bars are made of pine (Cedar expands much more) and wood expands across the grain, ie; the width of the bars. I think i will need to trim the back of the hive down to be level with the bottom of the top bars. Or should i just loosley place the bars in (smaller than a beespace between each) Here is an update photo. Any comments or constructive criticism welcome. I think i hijacked my own thread...beehive.jpg

Gotta admit, up until about a week ago, I was MAJORLY impressed with RGIII. Much as I hate the Skins, this kid seems like an amazing athletic talent with a great attitude. So it's been nice for the past week or so to hear him start whining. Maybe the pressure is getting to him. He has been annoited as that team's savior after being in the NFL for less than a full month now.

I read somewhere, sorry I don't recall, that when this 4.9 mm foundatin is used, drone foundation should be used as well to encourage the bees to lay drone cells there for the purpose of catching mites. The mite, it seems, prefer the drones. The drone foundation is then frozen overnight to kill the mites and left to the bees to clean out.
I just wondered what your thoughts were on this. If this is the case, wouldn't this characteristic just be quickly bred out of the mites?

Coffee tables are typically the largest and lowest of all occasional tables. Position them directly in front of your sofa, leaving enough space between the two pieces of furniture for guests to slide in and take a seat on the couch. Not only great for serving snacks and beverages, coffee tables also give you more space for display items in your family room or living space. Because of its position in front of the sofa—usually the focal point of the room—the tabletop is a prime place for beautiful, hardcover books, botanicals in vases, standout centerpiece bowls, tiny statuettes and more. When choosing a size and design, consider it in relation to your couch. If you have a long sectional sofa, a large rectangular wood table may work best, while a small round-top glass option may better suit an apartment sofa or loveseat.more

Ken Dauber Endorsed by 3 More Student Publications
Original post made by Student Advocate, Crescent Park, on Nov 5, 2012
Have you voted yet? If not, please take a look at these informative editorials about your choices.
Thanks for supporting our schools!
Ken Dauber was endorsed tonight by the Paly Voice, the Paly Verde Magazine, and by Paly's beginning journalism students. Dauber was previously endorsed by the Paly Campanile. The Paly editorials can be read here:
Paly Verde: Web Link
"We commend Dauber for his commitment to promoting student wellbeing and the concrete actions he has taken to achieve his goals. He has, for instance, advocated for a PAUSD homework committee, worked actively to establish time limits for homework, founded parent group We Can Do Better Palo Alto! and pushed for the alignment of graduation requirements with California's a-g requirements.
Dauber also believes in making sure that "best practices" are implemented across the district, including the implementation of Schoology. We agree with Dauber's philosophy that board decisions should to be driven by data from quantifiable research conducted by the district, an approach that we believe will most accurately and efficiently determine what "best practices" are.
We applaud Dauber for his commitment to board transparency and accountability, as evidenced by his pledge to make all his communications with other board members public and to push for clearer board decisions."
Paly Voice: Web Link
"Ken Dauber has our support mainly for his stances on the achievement gap and student mental health. First, Dauber has focused more on closing the achievement gap than any other candidate. He plans to "advocate for investment in teacher professional development and curricular improvements to support differentiated instruction at all levels of the curriculum," according to Dauber's website. The Paly Voice believes that Dauber's commitment to helping underprivileged and minority students have a level playing field is a necessary next step in an already successful school district. Dauber also focuses on improving student mental health, as he was a co-founder of We Can Do Better Palo Alto, an organization whose goals include managing homework amounts, promoting Tutorials and Advisories and preventing the overlap of tests and projects for students, according to the We Can Do Better Palo Alto website. We think that this is important because having many tests and projects in the same day or week can be extremely stressful and does not leave time for students to pursue their passions. "
Beginning Journalism Students: Web Link
"Dauber has been a strong advocate for change. Unlike other educational advocates, Dauber was willing to take initiative. He formed the student advocate group, "We Can Do Better Palo Alto", in order to help increase student-well being. Due to Dauber's involvement in various programs aiding students, we believe his experience will allow PAUSD to implement new and refreshing programs that will decrease student stress."
Paly students 4 different publications join the Weekly in endorsing Ken Dauber as a candidate with great ideas for PAUSD. It is particularly heartening that the students have endorsed Ken's ideas and his efforts for change.

Trying to cover up the fact that Gunn students rejected Ken's "signature issue" of TA at Gunn are we? ( see story from yesterday where the Oracle rejected TA at Gunn).
This entry wouldn't count as electioneering by the PA Weekly would it?
a resident of Crescent Park
on Nov 6, 2012 at 7:44 am
Thanks for the reminder about the Oracle editorial. Ken was also named one of the top 3 candidates by the staff of the Oracle, which (like the Paly Voice, the Paly Verde, and the beginning J students at Paly) rejected Heidi Emberling due to her lack of knowledge about high school and her failure to answer questions at the forum. As to TA, the students indicated that they did not want to bring "best practices" to Gunn, echoing their mentor/advisor Kristy Blackburn, who happens to be the leading opponent of TA among teachers at Gunn and who organized the opposition among teachers last year. It is not surprising that these particular Gunn students working closely with Blackburn articulated that view.
However, the staff of the Oracle acknowledged that they do not current receive "comparable" services to those at Paly and supported making improvements to do so. What they did not do was insist that their program is currently as good as the one at Paly. This is an important fact, and is the direct result of Ken Dauber's work to develop and publish data on this point. Perhaps this is why, as the editorial noted, Ken received a large number of votes for first place from Oracle staff members and finished in the top 3 candidates, ahead of Emberling.

Melissa was the only other candidate endorsed by the Paly students yesterday-- and she is also the only other candidate who supports a single counseling model at both of our high schools. I'm voting for Ken and Melissa, a great team.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Nov 6, 2012 at 8:07 am
@Melissa too, right you are. I am also voting for Melissa as well as Ken. I agree, that they will be a great team for our students. Let's listen to youth voices and vote for the smart, capable and committed team of Caswell and Dauber.
a resident of Old Palo Alto
on Nov 6, 2012 at 8:50 am
We all know Paly likes Dauber and Caswell, but what about Gunn? Do the students there endorse these two? Gunn students have already stated that they do not want TAs like Paly has, that they are happy with things as is, which Dauber disagrees with.
a resident of College Terrace
on Nov 6, 2012 at 9:38 am
Actually when Gunn students were surveyed almost 80 percent wanted TA. Not surprisingly, Gunn students want comparable services too.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Nov 6, 2012 at 9:53 am
Melissa, that's just plain wrong. When Gunn students were surveyed, out of over 1500 responses only *one* mentioned TA. And, from the wording, it looked like that *one* response was written or strongly influenced by a WCDBA parent.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Nov 6, 2012 at 9:59 am
No, Melissa is right. In 2009, Principal Noreen Likens added a question to Gunn's WASC survey asking students whether they would like to have a teacher advisory period. Likens supported implementing TA at Gunn, as did then-student body president Max Keeler, who with Likens had come to the School Board in 2008 in order to petition for implementing TA at Gunn. In response to the WASC surve, 78% of Gunn students supported implementing advisory at Gunn. The following year, Likens retired, and Katya Villalobos abandoned the effort to implement advisory on a school wide basis due to opposition from a small vocal group of teachers, led by Kristy Blackburn (who is also the union leader at Gunn and used her position as union leader to organize opposition to it).
Students have supported implementing advisory at Gunn for years. They know that they are not getting what they need and want counseling improvements. What they may not know is that adding enough guidance counselors to bring them to the same teacher/student ratio at Paly would cost millions. TA has a 45/1 counselor/student ratio. Gunn has a 300/1 ratio. It's time to bring change to Gunn and stop this cross-town rivalry that is preventing the spread of best practices.
Ken Dauber has run on this issue because half of our students are getting worse services. Melissa Caswell has also supported a unified guidance model.
It's 20 years past time to bring to Gunn what Paly kids have. [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]

I can't speak to what Gunn students were thinking back in 2009, but all those students are either long gone or graduating this year.
In a survey given last Spring, Gunn students' rated their guidance program well ahead of Paly's on key, overarching measures.
Paly students on TA sessions: only 33% thought the sessions were valuable.
Paly students on their college counseling program: only 50% said that it provided valuable input compared to Gunn students' 67%. Paly's TAs are not picking up the slack: the only TA session scheduled for seniors when college application questions begin to crop up is in mid-December, after UC applications are due and a week or two before the deadline for many of the rest.
According to both high schools' students, Gunn's guidance program trumps Paly's on other key measures:
Gotten to know students well: 59% Gunn compared to 53% Paly
A valuable resource for students: 72% Gunn compared to 57% Paly

a resident of Crescent Park
on Nov 6, 2012 at 10:36 am
Are you seriously continuing to argue that Paly students are not more satisfied with TA than Gunn students are? Even the Gunn students themselves don't agree, and the Campanile, Voice, Verde, and other Journalism students at Paly endorsed Ken because of his support for TA which they all like! Esther Wojcicki who invented the TA system endorsed Ken. Please, just stop. It's embarrassing.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Nov 6, 2012 at 11:02 am
The question the board was working on is how to improve guidance at both schools, not which school polls slightly better so that we know which system to abandon which is Mr. Dauber's approach.
These numbers show that there is room for improvement in both programs. They certainly do NOT show that Gunn students would be best served if Gunn moved to TA.
I am happy that some Paly journalism students are happy with TA. Perhaps they are in the 33% who gave favorable survey responses or they wanted to ensure that Gunn students don't get better guidance services. We don't know. (BTW - Neither the Verde nor Voice cite Ken Dauber's stand on TA as a reason for their endorsement.)
a resident of Duveneck/St. Francis
on Nov 6, 2012 at 11:09 am
One thing's for sure - it's time for new members on the school board. Otherwise, it's a cicular endorsement scheme keeping the old guard in place for any overly-long period of time. Please, if any of you aspire to serve, consider running next time around.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Nov 6, 2012 at 11:17 am
Paly doesn't "poll slightly better." On over 200 measures in which the identical question was asked at both schools, Paly scored more than 5 percentage points ahead of Gunn on over 90% of the questions. Gunn only scored ahead of Paly on 5 which are the 5 you keep talking about. Will you just stop spreading these falsehoods for once and for all? Let's just deal with the facts as they are rather than as you might wish them to be.
Paly's students and teachers agree: TA is great. The display of Gunn teachers slamming Paly and TA at the last board meeting on this topic was something that should never have happened and should never happen again. And with Ken Dauber on the Board, it won't.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Nov 6, 2012 at 11:28 am
Both Paly and Gunn are failing students in exactly the same areas. Even if your numbers were correct, the fact that Paly is failing Gunn by 5% points less does not advocate for TA adoption at Gunn. Forcing a failing system onto Gunn is not the answer.
Look at the data, identify what is wrong and fix it. Don't simply adopt a system that isn't working and doesn't address the most serious issues raised by the students at either school.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Nov 6, 2012 at 11:44 am
Sorry, but in my stats class a 5% point spread was not considered statistically significant. But even if it was, in another post awhile back people pointed out that We Can Do Better omitted from its analysis survey questions that did not show Paly TA in such a good light which put the objectivity of its "200 measures" in to question.
Interesting statement you've posted -- that Gunn teachers "slamming Paly and TA" at the last board meeting won't happen with Ken Dauber on the board. That wasn't my take away from that meeting.
Sure sounds like you are saying that Ken Dauber only "stands up" for teachers who agree with him and that there will be repercussions for teachers who express views that don't.
a resident of Crescent Park
on Nov 6, 2012 at 12:49 pm
Here is the data for anyone who would like to look it over:
Web Link
The sample sizes are given so anyone who would like to perform simple statistical tests can do so. What you will find is that 5%+/- in this instance given these sample sizes is a rough approximation for a .05 significance test. However no claim as to significance is made here, and the fact is that 5% is a big gap and that all the gaps run in one direction. No questions that were comparable were omitted. Some questions were duplicates. Palo Altans are smart enough to look this data over for themselves and come to their own conclusions about it. TA is not a perfect system and no one is making that claim.
The claim is that it is far superior to the system currently in use at Gunn and everyone knows that. The question is merely what to do about that. Any solution aimed at providing "comparable" services also has to have a plan to provide those comparable services with comparable dollars. If a plan to do that exists it has yet to be brought forward.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Nov 6, 2012 at 1:15 pm
Student Advocate,
Ken Dauber's view is not that TA is better (which is debatable) but that it is the "best."
Ken Dauber, September 23, 2012: "I've urged that Gunn make a plan to implement an advisory system for Gunn students -- because we have a years of data and supporting research that show that this is a best practice for delivering guidance services to high school students."
Web Link
You might want to let him in on the fact that there is no "supporting research" out there that shows teacher advisory works better than the system Gunn has now either.

Community Arts internships allow students to expand upon skills in a setting related to their professional goals.
An internship is required for the Master of Education in Community Arts program. After completing 15 credits of coursework, students will complete 150 hours of fieldwork in an internship setting related to their professional goals and specialization, and attend an accompanying seminar. This provides an opportunity for practical application of the conceptual frameworks and competencies developed in the coursework, and allows the student to cultivate relationships with other professionals in the field. See below for samples of recent internship locations.Under the guidance of the Community Arts Internship Coordinator, a site
supervisor, and a Lesley supervisor, students use program resources,
including a well-developed internship data base, a Community Arts
student network, and other means, to secure an appropriate internship. The setting of the internship should reflect the professional interests, skills, goals, and previous experiences of the student. Given the diversity of interests students bring to the Community Arts Program, internship sites can be found in Boston, throughout the United States, or in other countries. Regardless of location, all interns have the guidance of both on-site supervision and Lesley supervision through initial, mid-semester, and final evaluations.The internship helps the student to expand upon skills predefined by the
student, the on-site supervisor, and the Lesley supervisor. The goals
set by the student should contribute to the goals of the sponsoring
organization. Further details are available in the Internship Manual, which is available to current program students via the Community Arts section of myLesley.Read an article about recent internships in the Community Arts Program.

Forced manipulation of a business or individual to give up rights to ownership or public use. .
Walmart taking over small businesses in communities is a good example of Corporate Rape. Small businesses can't compete with Walmart's low prices attained only through purchasing at high volume. Small businesses closes down, because they can't match the price. Walmart's ad campaigns manipulate the consumer into thinking they are doing something good by shopping at Walmart by saving money. Small business can't compete by sharing their side of the story. Consumers remain ingnorant. The people are manipulated into buying necessary items at Walmart, . The small business owners will probably file bankruptcy. The economical integrity of the town is is fragmented and cultural threads are frayed.

Was just wondering when you make up your cell builder for grafting queens can you take brood and nurse bees from several different hives and put them in a nuc without them fighting.
Was just wondering when you make up your cell builder for grafting queens can you take brood and nurse bees from several different hives and put them in a nuc without them fighting.
Assuming you arent working with a queenright/cloake board setup. The more the merrier, dump em in. The more turmoil the better.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Once you are done with them, where are you going to put them?
I take all my nurse bees from a single strong hive and return them to the same hive the following day after I put the cells in a finisher hive.
...you can do almost anything that gets you lots.of.young queenless bees with fresh stored pollen, stored food, and incoming food. You can confine the bees (ive never done this), you can feed the bees (to insure incoming food). If I feed, I put crystalized honey on the top bars according to conditions and populations.
My current faviorite configuration is 2 five fame boxes. In the bottom box I put undrawn foundationless frames and there is a screened bottom for.plenty of ventilation. Th top box.gets.capped brood, some uncaooed brood, honey, and fresh pollen. You can put more capped brood in the bottom box to emerge and prolong the life of the builder.
I needed a good nuc for a public location and a cell builder...and I dont really have time to.do.any of this....let.alone feed a cell builder daily. Instead I chose a nice 2 box hive. I moved one box with the queen to be the nuc, and left the queenless half at the original location with lots of.foragers. after 2 days, I moved a few frames with stores, brood, and queen cells to another nuc to raise a queen. The rest (and shaken nurse bees) left in the 2 story five frame starter...plenty of.flow and plenty of foragers.

Next day...Halloween party at DKV!! Ok, well before that Wim, (Big) David and I went to see another free concert at the music school. The brass band there played Pictures at an Exhibition and West Side Story
Woke up next morning for a nice cultured afternoon of the Natural History Museum with Wim and David. That was a lot of fun too and I didn't realise how many animals and birds Australians miss out on! =( That being said, the museum failed miserably at their Australian collection. I didn't even see a kangaroo! All they had was a wallaby, though they did have a tasmanian tiger and a platypus...so maybe that wasn't so bad. The 3D IMAX movie was pretty cool too, Sea Monsters 3D!!! It was probably one of the better uses of 3D that I've seen and it really makes you feel like you're swimming with the fishes. Too bad the entire movie was in Swedish, though the storyline wasn't too hard to figure out =P
So yes, a nice tame ending to a busy busy weekend =)

For 5 serves
• 1 loaf sourdough (we use Wild Wheat kumara sourdough)
• 1 clove peeled garlic
• 5 rashes cooked smoked streaky bacon roughly chopped
• For the broad bean and pea mix:
• 200g freshly podded broad beans
• 200g frozen peas,
• 20 medium size mint leaves,
• zest of ½ a lemon
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 50ml olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of flakey salt
• A few grinds of cracked pepper
1. Take the freshly podded broad beans and blanch in salted boiling water for one minute. Refresh in iced water, drain, then pop out of their shells.
You'll be left with the bright green inner bean. Discard the shells.
2. Take the peas and blanch in salted boiling water for one minute. Refresh in iced water, drain and set aside.
3. Take the mint leaves, cut in half lengthways, remove stem, then finely shred.
4. Put the beans and peas in a bowl and add all the other ingredients. Take a potato masher and gently mash everything together until you have a crushed puree. It won't be completely smooth, but that's the idea.
5. Cut the sourdough into 1cm slices and brush with olive oil and chargrill, barbecue or simply grill until its starts to toast. Flip and repeat. When the toast is crispy and golden brown rub with the peeled clove of garlic to impart a garlicky flavour. Generously heap the broad bean and pea mixture on the toast. Finish with some olive oil and sprinkle over the bacon bits.
Serve immediately.

As the simple regression is a regression of residuals on residuals, both of which are meanzero, the constant is by definition zero, and its estimated value is very close to that.
The difference in standard errors is purely a small-sample degrees of freedom adjustment. In the run below, you will see that suest -- which generates large-sample z-stats -- generates identical SEs. So does -regress-; in the run below, compare the SE of epst adjusted by the ratio of sqrt(72/70) and the SE of turn from multiple regression. They are identical. If you estimated both equations from a very large sample, they would be almost identical. 74 is not a very large sample in asymptotic terms.

Rates of serious mental illness among university students are drastically rising, and universities are struggling with how to respond to students who show symptoms. Traumatic situations such as academics, financial problems, family problems, intimate and other relationship issues, and career related issues are leaving students overwhelmed, exhausted, sad, lonely, hopeless and depressed.
Volume 60, Issue 1, 2012 of the Journal of American College Health includes publication of the first ever feasibility study on Psychiatric Advance Directives (PADs) for college students. PADs allow students who are living with serious mental illnesses to plan ahead with a support person, creating and documenting an intervention strategy to be used in the event of a psychiatric crisis.
The study entitled "University Students' Views on the Utility of Psychiatric Advance Directives" was conducted by Anna M. Scheyett, PhD and Adrienne Rooks, MSW. The researchers found that students perceived PADs as beneficial.
"With a PAD, university students could give permission for the university to communicate with relevant support people, identify warning signs of relapse, describe effective interventions and give advance permission for administration of specific medications," wrote Scheyett and Rooks. "By providing this novel intervention, we may be able to ensure that university students not only get the care they need during crises but also reduce crises through early and effective action and treatment."

text: Who's got what going on for projects now that we're getting to the end of August and Fall will technically begin in just a few weeks. Traverse Trailer Hitch Project Just about ready to do my Traverse trailer hitch package project. I have sourced all of the parts and I'll get it done in one day, I'll be sure to take photos and do a before and after for it as well. Painting the exterior trim of the house Not sure if I want to do this myself, but there's not all that much to paint, so I figure a few hours and maybe $50 in paint will cover it. I guess I'll have to strip off the paint that's flaking off and all that, but it's just exterior wood so that's one of the easiest types of painting to do. Staining and post-capping my fence So I have a big chunk of fence that was replaced, it's time to stain that and put some type of cap up on the other side of the fence so it will all match. Probably going to take a while to do this as there's a lot of wood, might invest in a wagoner power painter or something similar. Probably have a bunch more stuff, but that's it for now.
