RE: st: How can I transfer the variable labels to excel using the outsheet command?
Thu, 27 May 2010 12:28:16 +0100
This has never been my problem, but I can think of one work-around.
Assuming the number of observations is at least as great as the number of variables, you could copy the variable labels into a string variable and export that too.
unab vars : *
gen varlabel = ""
local i = 1
foreach v of local vars {
replace varlabel = `"`: var label `v''"' in `i'
local ++i
I don't know how you'd reverse that in Excel. You would have a column of variable labels. I understand that Excel users like to have such stuff as a row.
A Loumiotis
Yes what I'm actually doing is creating a csv file and i'm using excel
to open it.
But my problem with the variable labels still remain. My concern is
not with the value labels of a categorical variable (which I know how
to export to a csv file) but with the variable labels of the variable
For example I have used:
label variable var01 "this is variable one"
to create the variable label "this is variable one" for variable var01.
What I want is to export to a csv file not only the variable names but
also the variable labels.

|CFDA Number:
|84.331A - Grants to States for Workplace and Community Transition Training for Incarcerated Youth Offenders
|Program Goal: State Grants for Incarcerated Youth Offenders Goal
|Objective 8.1 of 1: State Grants for Incarcerated Youth Offenders Objective 1
|Indicator 8.1.1 of 1: Improved vocational and academic achievement:: By Fall 2002, increasing percentages of students participating in vocational and academic programs will complete a degree or certificate.
|Targets and Performance Data
|Assessment of Progress
|Sources and Data Quality
Progress: Positive pattern established. Although data have been collected for years 2002 and 2003, they are not available for reporting at this time; they will be available in April 2005.
Explanation: In 1999, program performance data was impacted by program start up issues and issues with reporting. As the program has matured,completion rates above 50% are becoming more normative. Given issues of maturity and mobility, these rates seem fairly positive.
Additional Source Information: Sole source is the annual grantee performance reports.
Frequency: Annually.
Collection Period: 2003 - 2004
Data Available: April 2005
Validated By: On-Site Monitoring By ED.
No independent validation.
Limitations: Data is based on continuous enrollment. Therefore, the current enrollment is being compared to the outcome of graduates, including individuals served in the prior year and those still enrolled at year end. This distorts the numbers when the program is either growing or contracting. Programs differ in objectives and degrees/certificates offered, so very different outcomes are being combined. Reporting is inconsistent from State to State. Some data being combined may not be reliable.

Schwinn built bike but has a very cool Amc flash head badge.
Anyone know what year it is.
Your best bet is to pull the crank and hope its dated. I would guess early 40's but I'm no expert
It's pre war. 1940-41 ish
That is a cool bike Scott. Great find

I can do either one, but I am also partial to B&W or BRIGHT colors lol

I have those black & whites lol
Hello Southern Os...are you all geared up and ready to go go go??
"Changing IHave to IHad"
Boom 9 Blocks I have made : http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...bums18057.html
Hi Everyone!!! This is my first swap, and I am very excited to work with all the different fabrics. I am going to try and head to the PO today.
I know what you mean, I tried to make it to the post office today... didn't happen....
Never look down on anyone, unless you are helping them up.
Hello everyone! I am still dyeing my fabrics, but they'll be done soon!
Mine all went in the mail today. It was $0.86 per envelope and then about $1.20 or so for each of the envelopes with 2 F8's and also Canada & Japan. They raised postage prices as of 1/1/2013 - I forgot about that. I need to get some stamps so I don't have to travel to the PO every time I mail a block back to you ladies!
Mischief Managed.
Hi everyone. Glad to be here. Will be sending mine out on Monday. I am lucky that my P.O is only half a block away so I generally just walk over and mail my envelopes.
doghousemomma.......Doesn't matter to me what you send. Like them all.
Dreaming of New England while being stuck in So. Calif.(the asphalt jungle of the world.) But hey the Happiest Place on Earth is here.
Went to the PO today and she told me .92 for each. Not sure why it was more but I didn't want to argue with a long line behind me. Peer pressure! I caved! Lol
awilson, what kind of envelope did you use? I mailed 2 different finished blocks today , each was $.66. Did you wrap them in glad n press?


text: Chrysler just added a hiccup in the MPG fight, sometime in October they will begin selling 1500 Rams with a 3.0L EcoDiesel V-6 backed by a heavy duty version of the 8 spd Auto trns. 240hp with 420lb-ft peak torque and exceeding 25mpg. They also managed to keep the price reasonable, $2,850 more than the Hemi equipped truck. Im not a Dodge fan but those numbers look good. Maybe Dodges new trucks will make enough noise to prod GM to do the same real soon.

I think I would have a hard time living in Hanoi if I couldn't walk where I wanted to go and couldn't cross the street without trepidation. I'm sure I would get hit by a vehicle the first week there. The pumpkin bread was indeed quite good. Thanks Sharon. If you didn't fall on your rump this visit, I'll take that as a sign that your Tai Chi is getting better. (A Tai Chi man should never fall on his rump; certainly should never admit to it.) It was good to see you in person for a change. Try and come back more often.

Where I stayed
Matthews B & B
It had been nearly 2 years away from my friends and family and I was needing that reconnection in a big way.
I left Hanoi without a hitch and the long flights back weren't any shorter except where as I usually can sleep on planes without a problem this time I struggled to sleep. The movies on the plane weren't great yet they kept me entertained. 'Alex Cross' a detective thriller, and the Kevin James comedy 'Here comes the Boom' were two of the three I watched first. Then I guess being out of touch with movies, I watched 'Argo' which was pretty incredible and well worth any awards it may be nominated for and possibly win. Movies and more food then I eat in a 2 day span, let alone a 17 hour trio of flights and I was touching down in Cincy at the bleary eyed hour of 11:30 pm
I secured a rental car thru Hertz which I mention by name because the rental company that I booked online did a no show at the airport After calling 2 other rental companies wanting more than twice what I had booked for, Hertz price was nearly the same as the prebooked competitors online price. The quick & smiling service personnel at the pickup was very welcome after spending 20+ hrs in planes and airports not even figuring in the time changes.
I arrived at my nephew Matthew's condo in East Walnut Hills about 25 mins later and I was pleased to see he waited up for me. His welcome home smile was worth the trip alone. Even though I was fairly tired we dragged my .5 under the weight limit bag and 2 other heavy carry ons in the door, plopped down on a sofa and talked for over an hour longer. Finally I think my dozing mid conversation was our cue to go to bed.
Dozing mid conversation was the going look for me for most of this trip as the jet lag this time was its worst.
I saw more people this trip than past trips and it was a glorious experience for me as I hope I was entertaining and friendly to you all. I tried to be upbeat and outgoing since I am usually a quiet kind of guy ha ha ha oh well I tried to sneak that in but I'm sure most of you were wondering who had written that last comment
The time with my nephew was quite enjoyable as he had stocked his fridge, I think with me in mind, as there was salad stuffs, fruit and juice.It looked like my fridge in Hanoi. Actually it was nice having some good conversations with him usually mid evenings as I was tiredly (is that a word?) stumbling in after a day of driving all over the place to meet people. Every drive was well worth the mileage to catch up another friend.
Dinner at Tony and Sherry's house was nice. Good food and fun times with my family. Everyone is growing up, changing jobs and generally living there lives. Thanks Sherry for the delish pasta meal, salad and garlicky bread.
My mornings though sometimes later than usual for me were started with me making the drive to the Groove for coffee most days. Even though I drink very little coffee these days I couldn't pass on seeing Pete and having his 'cup of the day' of which I purchased a lb of espresso and Guatemalan each based on a cup at the shop. I rarely did takeaway at the Groove - I generally just sat and chatted with Pete or whatever random customer strolled in including a a little girl named Quinn who said I had to pay her to take her photo but later settled for some sweet Vietnamese candy.
My other trip to the Mainstrasse area was when Jami and Jeff scheduled a meet place at the Old Kentucky Bourbon Bar before dinner. This is a newish place and I wanted to find it and try it first, especially with a name like that. I had some time one evening after attending a Hash (I didn't and can't run yet) and before meeting Mike and Cliff for brews at the Rock. I decided to give it a try as I was in the vicinity. Wow, is this a great place for us lovers of the strong brown liquid called bourbon. If you haven't been there then you have to put this on your must do list. I am a huge scotch lover myself and bourbon is a close cousin I thin so I slid right into sipping this liquor. The bartenders here are so entertaining. Not like clowns and performers but more like teachers. They can and will tell you stories about every bottle on the shelf, history and general facts. Even bottles of bitters had stories to go with them
Happy Hour at Moerleins was a fantastic time. Someone said there were 25 people there during one stint though I couldn't back that up as I was busy talking, and drinking Jeff's gift of his own home brew. The alcohol content was quite a bit higher than the Moerlein brews so it wasn't long before I was feeling a buzz. Thanks to everyone who took time out of their busy evenings and came out to say hello to me and other friends they might not have seen since my last visit.. I think I got a gift to all of the ladies who attended. Wow what a great time I had and seeing so many good friends and a few I didn't see last time in town was really special ie, Mark O'Connor comes to mind.
Several breakfasts at Frsich's and Parkside cafe with Tim K and Bruce D were nice too as my breakfasts here in Hanoi are always alone. Coffee with Bruce at Starbucks was much overdue for catching up.
Thank you Sharon for the pumpkin bread(s) - I had to share it with my nephew and Tim K or I would have gained more weight than I did trying to eat two good sized breads in a few days
Yes I did gain a sizeable amount of weight as my dress pants for work were either snug or didn't snap at all when I tried to fasten them on Monday for work. Thanks to everyone that gave me mementos. The girl scout cookies are a big hit here amongst my expat and Vietnamese friends. I ordered 6 boxes and unfortunately I wasn't able to collect 2 boxes but in reality it was a bit of a blessing as my bags were considerably over weight, like its carrier. I had to take things out and in the end had to give one box of Thin Mints to TSA officials. They were pleased, I was not.
I loved taking pics if the Cincy scenery dressed in snow. It was the best of the two winter trips home I've taken on all fronts, esp. considering I fell on my rump the first time and no falls occurred this time.
Between, the friends, family, food and drinks all in all it was a wonderful trip home. Now getting back to the teaching grind, attempting to drop about 5-7 pounds of extra weight and contemplating what to do next year, is my work at hand.
Thank you to all my friends and family for making this such a memorable trip.

Across Region 1, we want to hear what's happening in your neck of the woods.
Public high school soccer or private high school soccer comments invited.
To the south jersey high school coach of the year that's you Mike, you may be able to coach boys high school ,but you can not and I mean can not coach a girls youth soccer . You made so many stupid mistakes this season coaching your girls team that no coach with your years of coaching should have made. You say you love cutting your boys from your High school team but when your three studs from your girls team cut you for being a bum coach you took it hard and bad mouth them to every one you could tell. You clearly only care only about your home grown soccer twins Parents one the sideline could see it .Now that you studs are gone your twins have no reason to cry to you any more, your team is going no where and your home town parents will now see it is time to move on.
Not sure why you are putting this BS on this site but you are bitter. Let it go, you are the clueless one.
I kinda see both sides of this and just lived through it somewhat. Bitter, but not enough to call out a coach on a message board. The soccer community is a small one so flames don't have to be too high to burn bridges (future as well as past). Just like parents and players coaches have plans/agendas as well. There is also a loyalty factor that for a coach is sometimes tied to a realized benefit from a parent. Based on the OP I would guess that you are refeering to a situation where your daughter either did not get playing time or was rebuffed by the coach in some way. Our situation was that my daughter was treated horribly to the point that she almost quit, and this is when she has multiple colleges recruiting her. Did I post some things here passive/aggressively uh, maybe. Did I specifically call out the coaches, ah no. It's a tough world. THere are a lot of good players, there are a lot of travel teams and eventually a lot of college teams. I suggest you back off, possibly see if the admin can remove your post and if your girls are HS age let them begin to take t point in all discussions with their coaches. If they are not yet in HS even more reason to back off and let them play, reputations of players can be submarined by reputations of parents.
It came as a big shock to me that parents were so involved in their child's HS soccer. After being disappointed by politics, favoritism and parental influence in youth soccer, we were looking forward to a fair unbiased HS system. I was so wrong. Same old BS. Maybe college will have no parental influence.
I cant believe who these HS coaches select and who they put on JV. They really have no clue.
That one was better
No name of coach given.
Seriously though - I think a good topic of dicussion would be what to do with talented freshmen players.
Some schools have strong freshman teams year in and year out - and value this.
Some even need to keep some freshmen down in order to field a freshman team.
If a frehman is top 15 should she always be on varsity - assuming the feeling is she can physically and emotionally handle it?
NO such thing as always.
What is going on at IHA? Players leaving weekly, it seems.
What's IHA?
don't kid yourself,if your kid can play,no matter what year she is in she will play.my kid started as a freshmen for a top 20 school last year and she did it because she can play no older brother or sister and the coach wanted to win so the best kids play that simple....
Can you ask Dr. Temple his/her thoughts on girls high school soccer? I'd be curious to hear that.
These HS statistics are soooooo not comparable. Some teams play crazy bad teams while others play competitive matches.
Upsets abound in second round of Bergen County girls event
5 of the 8 games go to the lower seed
Lets see if any of the 5 continue their run.
#25 Emerson vs #8 Indian Hills
#28 Waldwick vs #5 Ramsey
#20 Pascack Hills vs #4 Ramapo
#19 Glen Rock vs #3 Ridgewood
#18 New Milford vs #2 Imaaculate Heart
- I like Glen Rock and possibly Emerson
- Other games
#16 Park Ridge vs #1 Northern Highlands
# 11 Pascack Valley vs #6 Mahwah
#10 Old Tappan vs #7 River Dell
Well, the 2 games I picked pn girls side in Bergen County as possible upsets were close, but Ridgewood and Indian Hills prevail.
Only lower seed to advance is Pascack Valley, knocking out number 6 Mahwah.
Boys side in Bergen - all 8 top seeds advance. Bergen Tech lost a stunner to Ramsey, losing a 2 goal halftime lead. Would have liked to have seen them vs Ramapo.
Northern Highland stays unbeaten and unscored on, though IHA did put one past their keeper
Interesting wave off of the tying goal with 20 minutes left took the air right out of a great game at IHA yesterday.
IHA run has ended in North Jersey. Highlands, Ramapo and Ridgewood look to be the top programs currently. IHA program appears to have been undercut by politics, favoritism and outdated policies. Players and parents not buying the BS anymore.
Well, no - just a younger, developing IHA team this year.
Credit to River Dell.
You can stick with that explanation if believe so. Why so many younger players? What happened to the upperclassman?
Its been discussed.
National player chose to not play HS.
2 upper class field players went home to mom and dad
And the starting keeper missed trouts and was told it was not alright.
Some players are benefiting from the openings.
I dont see IHA as an easy out at States.
Plus recent player departures. Program in a freefall
...and I thought club game refs were bad. HS refs are horrible and there seems to be no oversight/accountability. Most I've seen are old, out of shape and can't keep up with the pace of play. The two ref system is a joke. Ref near the play calls nothing but ref on the other side of the field calls a foul. Ref 20-30 yards up the field and out of position calls offside. Worst is late tackles rarely called.
I always love when a team wins by 9-10 goals in a state game - then gets spanked the next round.
High School soccer is not like it was 5-10 years ago. Its watered down as all the elite players are in ENCL.
Its a joke !

Yellowstone National Park Reopens
WEST YELLOWSTONE, Montana - The gates of Yellowstone National Park opened Thursday morning after a 16 day closure.
The town of West Yellowstone, Montana is slowly buzzing with activity.
"I was going Oregon coast or here and I flipped a coin and decided here, and I just timed it perfectly," said Velvet Hughes. Hughes said she's on a once in a lifetime journey traveling from British Columbia to Mexico and plans to visit all the national parks on the way.
"Actually I was supposed to jump the Canadian border and start my tour about two weeks ago," said Hughes.
She was forced to wait because national parks were closed, but Thursday she got into her first park on the trip.
"So I'm very excited that I get to see Yellowstone and hopefully the Grand Canyon in the next few days."
Shop owners around West Yellowstone hope for more tourists like Hughes to pass through town.
"Well, it's been dead," said Tyler Johnson an employee at The Eagle Store.
The store has been a staple in the town since 1908. Johnson says business has been slow the past 16 days.
"There's like nobody going up and down the streets," said Johnson.
The Warner family, who are visiting Yellowstone from Salt Lake City were one of Johnson's few customers Thursday.
"It was really sad when we drove into town it seemed like a ghost town it was really dead," said Callie Warner.
The Warner's had planned this trip to Yellowstone for a year, they didn't let the closure of national parks affect their trip.
"We decided to come down anyway and see what going on," said Warner.
On their last day in town, they lucked out when they heard the park reopened.
"We're going to go see old faithful that's our first stop," said Warner.
As excited tourists return to Yellowstone to see the national treasure, for locals there was a sentiment of national disappointment.
"It's been sad to see our country get this bad," said Lee Lowry.
Recovery from a 16 day shutdown won't be easy.
"I think it will probably take up until next year," said Johnson.
Mary Sue Costello, the executive director of the West Yellowstone Chamber Of Commerce said the last few weeks of the fall season are critical.
"We had anticipated on having at least another month to five weeks of additional five weeks and we lost perhaps the two most critical parts of those weeks," said Costello.
Costello said the city hopes to recoup some of the financial losses the park brings in.
"While we we able to provide a lot of things for people to do, it still wasn't the same as having Yellowstone open," said Costello.
Yellowstone National Park closes November 4 for the fall season, it will re-open for the winter season December 15.

Hello everyone,
I have been a lurker on this site for several months and would like to thank all of you for many very interesting posts. I have been reading about keeping bees since I was a child. Being brought up in the city the oportunity never really presented itself. Now I have, for the most part, retired and own forty acres near Rose City MI. I purchased two new complete hives last spring and started with two packages of bees. We have had very nasty weather for my first season with the bees, late spring frosts, many cool rainy days, several early cold spells going into fall. I could not pull any honey this season but believe I am going into winter with two very strong hives loaded with stores.
Hope to increase my hives to four or five next season and enjoy my new hobby. My Best to all, Laurence

Writing off the Unemployed
Back in 1987 my Princeton colleague Alan Blinder published a very good book titled "Hard Heads, Soft Hearts." It was, as you might guess, a call for tough-minded but compassionate economic policy. Unfortunately, what we actually got - especially, although not only, from Republicans - was the opposite. And it's difficult to find a better example of the hardhearted, softheaded nature of today's GOP than what happened last week, as Senate Republicans once again used the filibuster to block aid to the long-term unemployed.

NBC Montana takes a closer look at background checks for school volunteers
BOZEMAN, Mont. - We told you earlier this week how a Belgrade parent was worried after a volunteer held his six-year-old daughter's hand and asked for hugs.
The school district looked into it, and says it was a case of miscommunication and that the volunteer did nothing wrong.
Yet, the parent tells us he's still concerned after learning Belgrade Schools doesn't check the criminal backgrounds of their volunteers.
We looked up Montana's law when it comes to background checks and found they are required for all school employees.
Background checks are not required for volunteers as long as they are under teachers' supervision.
Volunteers must undergo a background check, however, if they are going to be alone with children.
We called local schools in the area to find out their policy when it comes to background checks for volunteers and found that most districts- Gallatin Gateway, Manhattan and Bozeman Schools- only require background checks for those volunteers who are alone with children.
Folks with Ennis Schools tell me they require background checks for anyone working with kids.
Some parents tell me, that's how schools should operate.
"I think it should be mandatory, definitely. Anybody can come in and look like a good person but you don't know their past," says Bozeman mother of four Selah Barney.
Patti Blake is a grandmother. She says you can never be too careful these days and while she wouldn't insist on checks as much for parents of children attending the school, she does believe it should be required for all other volunteers.
"Even if it's somebody else's daddy or mommy, they don't always have the kids' best interest at heart and you just have to watch out. You don't know who lives next door to you," explains Blake.
Bozeman teacher Emmy Nadav tells us she'd like to think volunteers have the best intentions.
"Maybe it would be a good idea for background checks for volunteers. I mean, just to see what they're whole background is and to see what kind of intention they have for coming to the school," says Nadav.
But she says she doesn't think background checks are necessary for parent volunteers.
We also checked with other schools in the region and found that schools in Cody Wyoming fingerprint all of their employees and are now working to expand their policy to volunteers.
Volunteer coaches in Spokane must be fingerprinted but all other volunteers there go through a Washington state background check.
All Spokane volunteers are re-checked every two years.
They say the school district is also required to keep track of the number of volunteers and their hours and report that to the state.
All school volunteers in Portland, Oregon, must submit to a criminal background check.
In the Boulder Valley School District in Boulder, Colorado, occasional volunteers must be checked against the sex offender registry and folks who volunteer regularly have to submit to full background checks.

If the salary cap were 25% higher, players would be paid 25% more, and we'd still have the same number of cap casualties.
Also in the article they mention LaVar Arrington and Carlos Emmons like they were surprises. Emmons had career ending back surgery and Arrington ruptured his achilles tendon and never played a down of football again.
I'm trying to remember which comedian said that the New York Post is like someone that read a newspaper or heard a news story and they are trying to explain what they read to someone else.

Posted: December 13, 2012 in ACE Press Releases
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (Dec. 13, 2012) — American Council on Exercise (ACE) today released its annual analysis of Fitness Trends to Watch as identified by more than 1,700 certified personal trainers, exercise scientists, group fitness experts and health coaches throughout the nation. The survey results show fitness professionals are experiencing more career opportunities than ever before, and obesity epidemic concerns have led both individuals and employers to collaborate with fitness professionals in an effort to inspire healthier lifestyles. Additionally, there is a growing trend toward "no-frills" exercise like high-intensity and interval workout options, along with yoga, that will take precedence in 2013.
"Nearly 40 percent of individuals working with a fitness professional claimed weight loss as a goal, making it the most frequently cited goal among survey participants. It was very encouraging, however, to see that a desire to live a healthier lifestyle was clearly the next most popular goal," said ACE Chief Science Officer Cedric X. Bryant, Ph.D. "The public demand for a healthier lifestyle has propelled a career in fitness to one of the top job opportunities in 2013, and we're supporting this growth by ensuring proper training for those entering the field through research-based professional fitness certifications, specialized training and education."
The following is an overview of ACE's 2013 Fitness Trends to Watch:

New Zealand retail sales recorded the fastest growth in six years in the fourth quarter, adding to signs of a rebound in consumer spending and sentiment, and sending the trade-weighted index to a post-float high.
The total volume of retail sales rose 2.1 percent, seasonally adjusted, in the final three months of 2012 and rose 2.9 percent from the same period a year earlier, according to Statistics New Zealand.
Quarterly sales beat economist estimates of 1.4 percent growth.
The trade-weighted index jumped to as much as 77.43 after the report was released, from 76.90 immediately before. That's the highest since the kiwi dollar was allowed to trade freely in 1985. The currency rose to 85.33 US cents, the highest since September 2011. Two-year swaps jumped 6 basis points to 3.05 percent.
The data follows a survey yesterday showing consumer confidence rose to a 32-month high this month in the face of low interest rates and rising house prices. Retail sales have continued to grow this year, with electronic card transactions rising for a fourth straight month in January.
"There's pretty consistent evidence that activity picked up in late 2012 in a number of areas," said Michael Gordon, economist at Westpac Bank. "People are taking a bit more notice of the relative growth story for New Zealand. We stack up well to the likes of the US and Europe and even with Australia there's a bit of a gap opening up."
Twelve of the 15 retail industries measured recorded gains in the fourth quarter, led by a 7.7 percent increase in fuel retailing. Hardware, building and garden supplies rose 4.3 percent, which the government statistician said reflected stronger-than usual demand in Christchurch.
Motor vehicle and parts were up 2 percent and department store sales climbed 4.5 percent.
Excluding vehicle-related industries, the volume of core retail sales rose 1.5 percent.

Facebook: Oppenheimer Cuts Target to $32 on Rising Mobile Usage
Oppenheimer & Co.'s Jason Helfstein today reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of Facebook (FB), while cutting his price target a dollar to $32, reflecting lower estimates as the company faces the prospect of having to monetize rising mobile traffic to its per properties.
Facebook shares today are down 13 cents, half a percent, at $26.72.
Helfstein cut his Q1 estimate to $1.5 billion in revenue, $793 million in Ebitda, and 14 cents in EPS from a prior $1.6 billion, $852 million, and 15 cents. For the full year, he cut his estimates to $7.1 billion, $3.7 billion, and 47 cents per share, down from a prior $7.4 billion, $3.9 billion, and 53 cents.
The main prompt to Helfstein's change is that he is impressed with the increasingly rapid pace of people moving to use of the Web on mobile devices and away from desktop usage, brining lower prices for ads and a more difficult scenario for monetization for Facebook:
Mobile devices now account for the majority of time spent on Facebook in the US. In Feb., mobile was 60% of time spent, up from 34% in Mar. 2012. FB now accounts for 22% of the total time spent on the mobile web vs. 11% in March 2012. We are increasing our assumptions for '13 and '14 US mobile time spent by 15% and 29%, respectively. However, we are lowering mobile monetization based on a higher percentage of performance-based ads in 1Q, which command a lower CPM.
Despite all that, Helfstein thinks estimates have room to rise once the Street gets past the Q1 report, writing "We see Street estimates at a positive inflection point."
"Consensus estimates have been declining since December 2012."

Tolle Wohnung....Lage der Wohnung war super

Reviews for this host's other properties
The accomodation was perfect for our family. Te appartement was clean and neat. Also was the place perfect to visit the city. Public transport was nearly for the door. The train was in about 500 m. Everything what you need was in the appartment such as a washmachine, coffeemachine, etc. The view was excellent. The towels and sheets were very clean. When we arrived, we got a short explanation of the appartment and what's in it. So I recomend the appartment to everyone.
I have enjoyed the stay at Kerstin's apartment. There is everything you need for living. Apartment was clean and well prepared for our stay. Good place for families. Well situated if you want to enjoy swimming and sunbathing. A bit far from nightlife but if you want to have a rest - very good place. Hosts are very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend to stay at this apartment.
We really enjoyed our stay in the luxury appartment in Badalona. We especially like the location of the appartement, 1 minute walk to the beach and 25 minutes away from the heart of Barçelona.
The appartment was clean an modern. The landlords were very friendly and helpful. The appartment might be a bit too small if you stay there with more than 7 people.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Very well received by Kerstin competent .Très. Good presentation of the apartment.
Very clean. Congratulations. PERFECT !!!!
Très bien accueilli par Kerstin .Très compétente. Bonne présentation de l'appartement.

MIAMI -- The NCAA is investigating whether Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel was paid for signing hundreds of autographs on photos and sports memorabilia in January, "Outside the Lines" has learned. Two sources tell "Outside the Lines" that the Texas A&M quarterback agreed to sign memorabilia in exchange for a five-figure flat fee during his trip to Miami for the BCS National Championship Game. Both sources said they witnessed the signing, though neither saw the actual exchange of money.
Three sources said Manziel signed photographs, footballs, mini football helmets and other items at the request of an autograph broker named Drew Tieman. Two sources, who are aware of the signing arrangement, told "Outside the Lines" that Tieman approached Manziel on Jan. 6 when he landed at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport to attend the game between Alabama and Notre Dame the next day.
After that meeting, three sources said, Manziel, accompanied by his friend and personal assistant Nathan Fitch, visited Tieman's residence and signed hundreds of items in the main room of the apartment despite the fact that there were many people in the room. Before Manziel left South Florida, after taking in the title game, he signed hundreds of autographs more, one source said.
The dude doesn't even go to classes on campus.

Join the Center for Political Education and Arab Resource and Organizing Center in celebrating Women's Herstory Month with a screening of Leila Khaled: Hijacker followed by a discussion with Rabab Abdulhadi, professor of Race and Resistance Studies at SFSU. In 1969 Palestinian militant Leila Khaled made history by becoming the first woman to hijack an airplane. As a Palestinian child growing up in Sweden, filmmaker Lina Makboul admired Khaled for her bold actions; as an adult, she began asking complex questions about the legacy created by her childhood hero.
This documentary is at once a complicated portrait of Khaled and an exploration of the filmmaker's own Palestinian identity. The film weaves together scenes of Khaled, archival footage, and interviews with the people who were on the planes Khaled hijacked.
Rabab Abdulhadi is an Associate Professor of Ethnic Studies/Race and Resistance Studies and the Senior Scholar of the Arab and Muslim Ethnicities and Diasporas Initiative, at SFSU's College of Ethnic Studies. She is the co-editor of Arab and Arab American Feminisms: Gender, Violence and Belonging (Syracuse University Press), winner of the 2011 National Arab American Book Award. Her remarks will build on the panel she organized at the World Social Forum-Free Palestine (Porto Alegre, Brazil, November 2012). The panel Gender and Resistance featured several speakers including Leila Khaled and Angela Davis.

Call 458-SNOW for UTSA closure information
By Marianne McBride Lewis
Director of Public Affairs
(Jan. 10, 2007)--As winter weather rolls into San Antonio each year, occasionally there is the threat of ice on the roadways or flooding in low-lying areas.
When inclement weather occurs overnight, UTSA officials attempt to make a decision concerning the university's operating status as early as possible.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
To monitor the university's operating status, students, faculty and staff are encouraged to consult these four venues:
- (210) 458-SNOW (7669) -- official UTSA notification line with recorded message
- Weather-alert posting on the UTSA home page
- UTSA e-mail message to faculty, staff and students
- Local television and radio stations
On Tuesday, January 2, UTSA offices were closed after Gov. Rick Perry authorized state employees to observe the national day of mourning for former Pres. Gerald Ford. The UTSA Office of Communications notified students, faculty and staff via the four venues listed above.
A poll posted Jan. 3 on UTSA Today asked, "How did you learn UTSA was closed Jan. 2?" With nearly 500 respondents to the non-scientific poll, 18 percent learned from e-mail, 6 percent from 458-SNOW, 8 percent from media, 52 percent from a co-worker and 16 percent didn't know about the closing.
For more information, call (210) 458-4550.

Student Development Surveys
Middle and High School Student Version
The Student Development Survey – Middle and High School Version (SDS-MH) measures students' opinions about themselves and their school regarding areas of development along the six pathways, school climate, and attitudes towards reading and school. The SDS-MH is a 48-item survey that asks students to rate how frequently they perform particular behaviors or experience feelings described in the items. The five-point rating scale ranges from "all of the time" to "never." The responses are coded in the following manner: All the time=4, Most of the time=3, Sometimes=2, Once in a while=1, and Never=0.
The SDS-MH contains ten dimensions, listed in Table 1 below with the items that define them. All of the dimensions are scored in the positive direction; the higher the mean score,* the more favorable the students view it. The mean score can range from a high of 4.0 to a low of 0.0. For example, if Student-Teacher Relationships has a mean score of 3.7, this means that most students like their teachers and feel that their teachers care about them and believe in them all or most of the time. The SDS-MH is designed for students in grade 6 to grade 12, but students in grade 5-8 schools may use it.
Before computation of the mean scores on the Safety and Attitude Towards School dimensions, items 33, 36, 37, 38, and 39 were reversed in the following manner: 0 is changed to 4, 1 is changed to 3, 2 remains 2, 3 is changed to 1, and 4 is changed to 0.

Explanation of pathway dimensions on Student Development Survey – Middle and High Version
A statistical procedure known as Principal Factor Analysis** completed on the pilot data from responses of approximately 740 middle and high school students, grades six through twelve yielded six pathway dimensions: ethical development – self-control, ethical development- empathy, language development, psychological development, cognitive development, and physical development. The items defining the social pathway did not group together to form the relevant factor. This may be a reflection of the items selected a priori to operationalize this pathway and/or the developmental stage of the respondents.
For additional technical information, please contact Dr. Christine Emmons, Director of Program Evaluation at (203) 737-4004.
*The mean score on each subscale represents the sum of the average score of each person on the set of items defining the variable (see Table 1), divided by the number of people responding to that subscale. For example, the score of each student on each of the Student-Teacher Relationship items would be added, and then divided by the number of items (7) to obtain each student's mean score on Student-Teacher Relationship. Each student's mean score would be summed and divided by the number of students, to get the overall mean for Student-Teacher Relationship.
**Principal Factor Analysis is a procedure through which the computer groups items together to form a factor or dimension that represents how closely these items are measuring the same underlying construct.

Good news: Planned Parenthood of Indiana now offering gift certificates
posted at 1:21 pm on November 26, 2008 by Allahpundit
A little dose of holiday spirit on Thanksgiving eve. And yes, it's for real.
This year, give the gift of convenience.
"People are making really tough decisions about putting gas in their car and food on their table, so we know that many women especially put healthcare at the bottom of their list to do," said Chrystal Struben-Hall, Vice President of Planned Parenthood of Indiana…
"They can be seen for sexually transmitted disease screenings, HIV tests and general prostate exams and those kinds of things," said Struben-Hall.
Some Hoosiers 24-Hour News 8 talked to asked if the gift certificates could be used towards abortions. The answer is yes. But, Planned Parenthood said that's not the purpose of the gift certificates…
Indiana Family Institute President Curt Smith said he is appalled by the certificates.
"I think the way to help family planning is to give the money where there's no agenda. So if somebody wants to help a woman at a time of crisis, they can support the life centers throughout Indiana," said Smith.
Think of it not so much as a gift certificate than as a receipt, in case Santa left something under your tree that you'd like to "return." Exit question: What kind of relationship would you have to have with someone for a gift certificate from Planned Parenthood to be appropriate? If you're buying for your significant other, cash works just as well. If you're buying for friends, um … what's the message there? "Merry Christmas, buddy. The next prostate exam's on me."

A section of midtown manhattan on west 42nd street. It is known for its bright lights, and carnival like appearence. It is currently the home to the theater industry, and formerly, the sex industry. It is also a major contributor to the tourist industry. Until the 1990's, times square was seedy. Times square has been home to streetwalkers and showgirls since the beginning of the 20th century. In the 80's, crack made times square a very dangerious place. In the 90's, Mayor Guliani transformed it from a red light district/ theater place, into a very tacky, disny like bunch of streets.

You know Lupe Fiasco, right? He's the Big Day Out-loving backpack rapper with a soft spot for skateboards and sunny days. Not anymore.
On Food & Liquor II, a sequel of sorts to his acclaimed 2006 debut, Fiasco graduates into rap's top tier, ranting and raving like a full-blown mini-Kanye while delivering his hardest-hitting album yet.
"You can be Mr Burns or Smithers, the tyrant or the slave but nowhere in the middle," Fiasco raps like a man on a mission on Around My Way (Freedom Ain't Free).
It's his most political statement yet, tackling environmental disasters, oil-based wars and America's struggling economy while keeping it fun and funky thanks to the classic Pete Rock T.R.O.Y trumpet sample.
It's a great trick that he repeats on the pro-feminism thump of Bitch Bad, the religion-baiting Lamborghini Angels, and Audubon Ballroom which examines what the N-word means to Americans in 2012.
It's confronting stuff, but Fiasco crafts his sermons over top-rate hip-hop production, and late album tracks Battle Scars and Cold War prove he has the charisma and consistency to pull off his grand ambitions.
If he really is threatening to retire, as several recent tweets threatened, let's hope it's in the Jay-Z sense of the word, because Fiasco has found the form of his career.
Stars: 4/5
Verdict: Top of the rap pack
Buy this album here.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by BTX, Nov 23, 2012.
Losing to the skins at home to a rookie qb. I have no words.
yeah. I swear making it close was worse. I was numb at 28-3 but felt the heart pounding at 35-28 on those 3rd downs. I was hoping beyond hope their kicker would miss but alas no such luck.
I do laugh at some places blaming Romo, he's the only QB who could throw for 441 yards and be blamed for not winning the game.
i just find that to be crazy because it wasn't his fault.
Romo is the last of my worriers. I wish we had ten other players on both sides of the ball like him.
Dude, how many threads are you going to start?
you know what sucks more? RG3 is gona be doing this constantly for many years. hes surely to bring headaches in the division.
I agree but I have seen it, he came up small in a big game again, anti-clutch etc, he can't win
We could tell from the post title.
I saw a quote that I agree with.
"Tony Romo is too good to get rid of, but too bad to ever win a Superbowl with"
And he did it with pedestrian receivers to boot..
Landry would be proud..........
Not any English words at least. :laugh2:
the problem will be corrected and i doubt he does this again
but today yeeeeaaahhhh
no words
This will be last one. I promise.
Just pulling your leg. Start all the threads you desire.
That was a pretty good game, though. And that's a pretty good rookie QB. He's going to win a lot of these matchups before he's through.
We can only hope he ends up in a dog fighting scandal or something. Unlikely, he seems like a stand-up, class act also.
why does he wear a visor?
I remember laughing at Sk*ns fans for thinking Ramsey and Campbell were the real deal. Not laughing this time, though. This one's a good player who's going to be great.
The Cowboys have lost to 2 rookie QB's this season and almost to a 3rd one last week. As for losing to one at home the Cowboys have no home field advantage.
No one's blaming him for not winning. But he did contribute to the loss. Don't let the gaudy yards fool you....he had to pass nearly every play in the second half in order to try to get out of the hole that he helped put himself in. He did help give us a chance but he also threw a costly INT that lead to 7 points with 5 seconds left in the first half. Coincidentally we also lost by 7 points.

26th annual Targhee Bluegrass Festival wraps up
ALTA, Wyo. - Sunday was the last day of the 26th annual Targhee Bluegrass Festival in Alta, Wyo.
Garret Owens came from North Carolina to take in the festival.
"I haven't been able to wipe this smile off my face that's for sure," said Owens.
He said this experience might have him back next summer for more.
"It couldn't be any better. Those bands last night were rocking it," said Owens.
And that's music to Tom Garnsey's ears. He's been booking the festival's bands for 16 years.
"It's an extremely easy festival to book, because once someone has played here they never say no," said Garnsey.
He said with the rise of bands like Mumford and Sons, and this year's headliner Trampled by Turtles, bluegrass is picking up.
"There's a lot of young people coming to these festivals that four or five years ago, they would have never thought it," said Garnsey.
Ken Rider, Grand Targhee Resort's director of marketing and sales, said the ticket sales reflect it. They sold out of weekend passes weeks ago.
"Yesterday we had a huge walk-up crowd for Trampled by Turtles and other artists yesterday," said Rider.
People are coming for more than just music.
"There's a plethora of outdoor activity. There's fly-fishing, rafting and canoeing," said Rider. "You name it, we can probably do it up here."
Many people are sleeping outdoors as well. Approximately 1,000 people are camping at the festival.
Next year's festival is set for Aug. 8-10.

Before winter hits, evaluate these five pieces of your feeding program with your nutritionist to improve your feeding regime now and develop a cropping strategy.
Develop a plan
Determine if you need to purchase forages based on homegrown inventory. To devise this plan, submit representative samples to a forage testing laboratory for nutrient analysis. Forage samples taken at the beginning of the feeding season can serve as a starting place for balancing rations.
Throughout the year, take numerous samples (three to four), and combine their results to better describe the nutrient content of forages being fed. Single samples often do not accurately represent the nutrient content.
Concurrently, take an inventory of each forage and commodity in storage. With this information, you can allocate forages stored separately to the various groups of cattle. Reserve the highest quality forages (usually hay) for heifers less than 4 months of age and fresh, early-lactation or high-production groups of cows. You can also determine shortfalls so that forages can be purchased or other feedstuffs can be added to rations.
For example, if you have corn silage from three different hybrids but the hybrids are stored in a single bunker silo, you need to know you have 900 tons of corn silage instead of 300 tons of each hybrid. If each hybrid is stored in a separate bag, they can be considered separate feeds with 300 tons of each.
Balance rations
Using the inventory and forage analyses, balance rations for all groups of cattle on your dairy. Cows need nutrients, not ingredients, to support body maintenance, milk production and growth. Rations are balanced to provide these nutrients at the least cost. Various combinations of forages and other commodities can meet nutrient needs and may result in a cost savings.
Due to enhanced volatility in commodity prices, you should follow ingredient prices and reevaluate feeding programs frequently. In addition, changes in the amount of starch and protein need to be factored in when balancing rations. These changes, if incorporated correctly, may reduce feed costs with higher corn and soybean meal prices.
Diets for lactating cows, heifers and dry cows are balanced to provide a certain amount of each nutrient delivered based on dry matter levels. The dry matter content of each feed should be used to determine the amount of each ingredient.
For wet feeds, such as silages and wet commodities, dry matter contents can vary tremendously within storage structures, loads and with storage time. To account for this variation, dry matter contents of these feeds should be measured at least weekly, with changes made as necessary (2 to 5 percent change in dry matter) to the amount fed.
Review feeding practices
Review these practices with those responsible for feeding:
Provide lactating cows access to the feedbunk at least 20 hours daily but preferably 22 hours. Minimize the time away from feed to allow cows to eat multiple meals for optimum intake. This is especially important for fresh, early-lactation and high-producing dairy cows.
Cows should be fed a consistent ration at the same time each day. Feed should not be heating in the feedbunk and should be provided within the entire feed bunk at each feeding.
Uneaten feed should be routinely removed (usually daily) from the feedbunk. Milking cows should be fed for 1 to 2 percent refusals after a 24-hour feeding period. If you are feeding for a slick bunk at the time of feeding, the bunks have to be monitored throughout the day and feeding time adjusted accordingly.
Waterers should be cleaned out multiple times weekly and scrubbed once weekly with a brush and a weak chlorinated solution (1 cup of household bleach to 5 gallons of water). Rinse the chlorinated solution out after cleaning.
Adequate bunk and free stall space should be provided such that groups are not overcrowded. Ideally, 24 inches of bunk space should be provided to the milking herd (six-row barns may provide 18 inches per cow, less than ideal). For fresh and close-up dry cow groups, the recommendation is 36 inches per cow and one free stall or 100 square feet per cow.
TMR mixers need to be serviced and adjusted for the feeds being added. Check to make sure the TMR mixer is not overfilled, TMR mixtures are not over- or under-mixed, and ingredients are being added at the correct amounts and order for the mixer. The mixing quality of the TMR should be evaluated occasionally. Does the mix look the same over the length of the feedbunk? Was the forage particle size reduced too much by the mixer wagon?
Keep clean faces on bunkers, and maintain other silage storage structures to prevent heating and ensure that a high-quality feed is being fed.
Cows should be consuming a similar amount of feed as suggested in balanced rations. If not, discuss this observation with the nutritionist, who may wish to make adjustments. Daily or weekly refusals will need to be weighed to assess the consumption by the group of cows.
Work with consultants
To develop and modify the feeding and overall management program, work closely with your nutritionist and other consultants. Develop an ongoing relationship that results in dialog among all parties. It can help to improve your bottom line to discuss different ways to group, feed and manage your herd.
Sometimes, producers incorrectly believe that they do not need to oversee and understand feeding and nutritional concepts. Understanding these concepts is critical for dialog and to understand when and how to make minor adjustments or temporary changes.
Start making plans
Now is the time to evaluate whether to make changes to your cropping system or forage purchasing plans for next year. In the United States, various universities and agronomic companies conduct variety trials to see how new varieties of alfalfa, corn for silage and other crops yield in different environments and growing conditions. These results can be used to help select varieties that incorporate new genetic material into crops that best fit your operation.
Using your forage analyses, review whether your harvesting (or custom harvester's) techniques have resulted in the highest-quality forages needed to feed high-producing dairy cows and whether you need to make changes. Then, complete a plan to incorporate these changes into next year's cropping season.
Areas to evaluate include the varieties planted, timeliness of harvest, methods used to harvest and whether fertility was inappropriate for the planted crop.
