Morning Pops --Morning Leon and those that follow
Morning Pop's,Leon,JB,and all who zombie in later. Glad to hear all who made it out of Sandy's destructive path unharmed. Good to see pics and video's of New Yorkers trudging back to the grind. Resilient folks! We are planning another trip to NYC in early December for a few days. All should hopefully be semi back to normal, although some poor folks around there won't recover for a long time,if ever.
Morning Pops. Morning Fellas and Kristie. I hope everybody enjoyed the Halloween or as best as possible for those in the NE.
Week is running down so we are coming up on a honeydo weekend for me. Not complaining, just saying.
Everybody, have a great day.
Good morning, Cbz and the same to all Zoners. I'm hoping all are safe and that things can move on. I saw the video of the Jersey shore and was struck by how much sand had been deposited inland and the total devasation. Some before and after pictures show how much movement of homes occured in the storm and it is apparent that they will not recover for a while. I'm just hoping people can make it to the point where they get power and water back into their lives.Without the essentials, what passes for an inconvenience on day one becomes critical and life-threatening pretty quickly.
As far as Halloween goes, I had about 40 kids come to the door, which was close to the amount that my wife budgeted for candy. They were cute and all well-behaved. One little girl came to my front porch, brushed off the snow, sat down and told her mother that she was "done". Apparently, my house was at the end of her route. Her mom told me that she had been going hard for 40 minutes, but the cold and much walking on little legs had taken their toll. My dog enjoyed the kids and the feeling was mutual. Some families who had moved to another part of town came by lst night and I got hugs for treats from a bunch of really cute little gaffers.
I hope everybody's had a good expereince with the trick-or-treaters and that you all will have a great day.
Live out in the middle of the country, in the middle of 12 acres. My place is fenced and gates closed...Knock on my door and I rack a shotgun...Cuts down on visitors and my candy bill.
Your place is just beggin' for a classic "TP" treatment.:laugh2:
:laugh2: ...........
Morning Cbz. Morning everybody and have a great day. T.G.I.F for you working folk.
Morning Pops --Morning Leon ---and the little people out there..
Morning Pops. Morning to all the usual suspects and also to any who might make there way in today.
Hope everybody is well this morning. Looking forward to a weekend. Lots to do this weekend. Heading up to my Uncle's Ranch to help him get a few things done this weekend. He's getting a little older, like all of us. Will be a nice time, with a little work in between.
Everybody, have a great day!
Good morning, Cbz and good mornng to everybodyelse here and wherever. Bob, just remember that, if you get "TP'd", I am unarmed.
ABQ, the weekend sounds great. We can look forward to (hopefully) above freezing temperatures. That would allow for a few last-minute outside chores. I look forward to some outside time.
Take care, all and have a great day.
Just remember Phil -In Texas we shoot first and then put a throw down in your hand if you didn't bring your own
Solid and proven Law Enforcement practices to be sure.
I guess I'd better bring my Kevlar T-Shirt. Maybe Sarge has a spare.
Morning, Cbz. Howdy and a hearty good morning to all you nice folks. Welcome to the weekend. Good luck to your college teams today unless they are playing against mine.
Morning Pops ==Morning everyone --Phil just grab Sarge and come on down...I'll invoke the 48 hour amnesty rule. We can drink a Shiner and talk about the good stuff....Course you have to home before your time runs out...Sorry Sarge this is Texas no PBR
No PBR in Texas????? That's not normal.
Morning Pop's, JB, Leon, Sarge, and all. No PBR in Texas??? since when??? Back in my wild drinkin' days, PBR was it.....because it was dirt cheap...and tasted like dirt,too! Has Texas "upgraded" since the last time I imbibed, 28 years ago?
Good morning, Cbz and good morning, Zoners. The weekend is here! Everybody have a great day.
Still here ---most Texans would be embarrassed to be caught with one
Sorry Sarge ----we have Shiner Light and Dark ---don't need to go slumming.

This statue of William Allen represented Ohio in the National Statuary Hall Collection from 1887-2016. In 2016, the statue was replaced by one of Thomas Edison.
Given by Ohio in 1887
Replaced in 2016 by statue of Thomas Edison
William Allen, of Quaker ancestry, was the son of a Revolutionary War officer. He was born in Edenton, North Carolina, on December 27, 1803, and when he was 16 journeyed alone to Ohio to be with his sister. He hoped to make his future in the West and began by studying at the Chillicothe Academy for two years, supplementing this education with reading. He then studied law with Colonel Edward King and at age 21 was admitted to the bar. Allen rode the circuit and soon became well known.
Allen's skill in debate and his overall demeanor inspired the Jackson Democrats of his district to nominate him as their congressional candidate; he won, even though the district was Republican. He served only one term in the House of Representatives. Although not reelected he was subsequently appointed by the governor to complete Thomas Ewing's term as a United States Senator. He was reelected to a second term. During this second term Allen coined the political slogan "Fifty-Four/Forty or Fight!," which indicated his strong support of United States territorial rights in Oregon. Allen also favored the annexation of Texas. Salmon P. Chase defeated Allen in his reelection bid, but this did not silence "Earthquake Allen."
He became an outspoken critic of Lincoln and was an anti-war Democrat. Allen made a political comeback in 1873 when he was elected governor of Ohio. He served one term and died at his estate, "Fruit Hill," on July 11, 1879.

Boston Marathon Bomber Left Curious Notes Inside Boat: 'Hillary' Implicated?
Original post made by Avid Reader, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on May 17, 2013
Officers said they also discovered the phrase "I [heart] Hillary" on the boat's side panels along with several anti-American screeds, including references to "the infidels" and unregulated Tea Party groups.
A Massachusetts official showed CBN News what he said was a cell phone picture of the phrase "Praise Allah," written in black ink, with a bullet hole above it, believed to have been written by Dzhokhar as he hid inside the boat in Watertown, Mass.
Also seen in the picture were the faintly written words "Hillary rocks in 2016 and beyond" which the official said was part of a reference by the younger Tsarnaev regarding "'Hillary' and himself meeting Allah together in the future."
Multiple media outlets have been speculating on whether the references to Hillary are to Hillary Clinton. A top official at Fox News, however, stated that the news organization's commitment to objectivity has precluded it from any rush to judgment. "To implicate Ms. Clinton in this unfortunate tragedy at this point would be unfair to all Americans who will face the critical test in 2016 of voting for candidates who embrace fiscal responsibility versus those candidates who coddle domestic terrorists."

I have included a link to news report regarding Boston bombing suspect and boat. Nowhere does it mention anything about Hilary Clinton. Why the PW continues to let posters put words into people mouths and ad conjecture to stories is beyond me.

I have read several accounts about the I "love" Hillary note found inside the boat. The question now is when Congressman Issa's special investigatory committee will conclude on Ms. Clinton's whereabouts when both she and the older brother were in Russia at the same time. Coincidence? I don't think so, but I'll wait until the special report comes in, no doubt sometime before 2016.
I sympathize with the fact that this stuff isn't readily found in the lamestream press. That's probably why today's ABC News poll gives Dems a 48-40 lead over Reps regarding upcoming congressional elections. The public isn't getting all the information it needs to make informed choices.

Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies
By: Jim Pivarnik, Ph.D., President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition Science Board member
Having studied physical activity during pregnancy for over 25 years, I am amazed at how far we have progressed. When I began to research this area in the late 1980's, information was scarce, and recommendations were very conservative. This only makes sense, as "first do no harm" is even more important than normal when you are talking about protecting the maternal-fetal unit.

(nitroglycerin) Transdermal Infusion System
Nitroglycerin is 1,2,3-propanetriol trinitrate, an organic nitrate whose structural formula is:
and whose molecular weight is 227.09. The organic nitrates are vasodilators, active on both arteries and veins.
The NITRO-DUR® (nitroglycerin) Transdermal Infusion System is a flat unit designed to provide continuous controlled release of nitroglycerin through intact skin. The rate of release of nitroglycerin is linearly dependent upon the area of the applied system; each cm² of applied system delivers approximately 0.02 mg of nitroglycerin per hour. Thus, the 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-, 30-, and 40-cm² systems deliver approximately 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8 mg of nitroglycerin per hour, respectively.
The remainder of the nitroglycerin in each system serves as a reservoir and is not delivered in normal use. After 12 hours, for example, each system has delivered approximately 6% of its original content of nitroglycerin.
The NITRO-DUR transdermal system contains nitroglycerin in acrylic-based polymer adhesives with a resinous cross-linking agent to provide a continuous source of active ingredient. Each unit is sealed in a paper polyethylene-foil pouch.

IRS releases the "Dirty Dozen" list of scams to avoid during tax season
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Internal Revenue Service today issued its annual "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams that could trick taxpayers out of their money this tax season.
It's a list compiled by the IRS every year, and while it was released during tax season, these are schemes people can fall victim to at any point during the year. However, the peak season for these schemes is filing season as people prepare their tax returns.
"This tax season, the IRS has stepped up its efforts to protect taxpayers from a wide range of schemes, including moving aggressively to combat identity theft and refund fraud," said IRS Acting Commissioner Steven T. Miller in a press release from the IRS. "The Dirty Dozen list shows that scams come in many forms during filing season. Don't let a scam artist steal from you or talk you into doing something you will regret later."
The IRS said its Criminal Investigation team works with the Department of Justice to shut down scams and prosecute the criminals behind them. Illegal scammers can face significant penalties and criminal prosecution.
Identity Theft
Tax fraud due to identity theft tops this year's Dirty Dozen list. The IRS said often times, an identity thief will use a legitmate taxpayer's identity to file a tax return and claim the refund.
The IRS said in a press release that taking down identity thieves is a top priority for the IRS. It's put additional steps in place to minimize identity theft and detect fraud before it occurs to limit the number of victims of identity theft. In 2012, the IRS prevented $20 billion in fraudulent refunds from being issued - that's up from $14 billion in 2011.
The IRS posted tips for taxpayers, YouTube videos and an assistance guide on how to avoid identity theft on a special section of it website. If you think your identity has been stolen, you're asked to contact the IRS Identity Protection Specialized Unit at 800-908-4490.
Taxpayers should be on the lookout for unsolicited emails or fake websites asking for personal and financial information. It's a scam called phishing and the IRS said, armed with that information, a criminal can commit identity theft.
If you receive an unsolicited email that appears to be from either the IRS or an organization closely linked to the IRS, such as the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS), report it by sending it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Also, the IRS reminded people it will never contact you by email to request personal or financial information.
Return Preparer Fraud
The IRS said choosing the right return preparer is important because it could result in fraud or identity theft. It said only use preparers who sign the returns they prepare and enter their IRS Preparer Tax Identification Numbers. It included tips on choosing a preparer, red flags and details on preparer qualifications at www.irs.gov/chooseataxpro.
Hiding Income Offshore
The IRS said it works closely with the Department of Justice to prosecute people evading U.S. taxes by hiding income in offshore banks, brokerage accounts or nominee entities, using debit cards, credit cards or wire transfers to access the funds.
It reminded people, while there are legitimate reasons for maintaining financial accounts abroad, there are reporting requirements. If not reported, you could get significant penalties and fines, as well as criminal prosecution.
"Free Money" from the IRS & Tax Scams Involving Social Security
IRS reminded people to be wary of flyers or advertisements for free money from the IRS. These scams suggest that a taxpayer can file a tax return with little to no documentation. These flyers have been appearing in community churches around the country.
It preys upon people with little to no income and elderly people; they wouldn't normally have to file taxes. IRS said these scammers charge people money and offer bad advice, which includes making fictitious claims for refunds or rebates based on false statements of entitlement to tax credits.
Impersonation of Charitable Organizations
The IRS said con artists will prey upon natural disasters by impersonating charities to get money or private information. It said this scam comes in many forms - scam artists could contact people via telephone to get money and information, or call victims posing as the IRS to help them file casualty loss claims or get a tax refund. In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, the IRS cautioned both victims and people to only donate to recognized charities. Also, be wary of charities with names similar to familiar or nationally known organizations.
IRS.gov has a search feature, Exempt Organizations Select Check, which allows people to find legitimate, qualified charities to which donations may be tax-deductible.
Call the IRS toll-free disaster assistance telephone number (1-866-562-5227) if you are a disaster victim with specific questions about tax relief or disaster related tax issues.
False/Inflated Income and Expenses
The IRS said including income that was never earned, either as wages or as self-employment income in order to maximize refundable credits, is another popular scam. It's a move that could have serious repercussions because you could wind up repaying the erroneous refunds, including interest and penalties, and in some cases, even prosecution.
Also, people file excessive claims for the fuel tax credit and it can result in a $5,000 penalty.
False Form 1099 Refund Claims
The IRS said people make refund claims on the false theory that the federal government maintains secret accounts for U.S. citizens and that they can gain access to the accounts by issuing 1099-OID forms to the IRS.
The perpetrator files a fake information return, such as a Form 1099 Original Issue Discount (OID), to justify a false refund claim on a corresponding tax return.
The IRS said don't fall prey to people who encourage you to claim deductions or credits to which you are not entitled or willingly allow others to use your information to file false returns.
Frivolous Arguments
Promoters of frivolous schemes encourage taxpayers to make unreasonable and outlandish claims to avoid paying the taxes they owe. The IRS has a list of frivolous tax arguments that taxpayers should avoid. Taxpayers have the right to contest their tax liabilities in court.
Falsely Claiming Zero Wages
Filing a phony information return is an illegal way to lower the amount of taxes an individual owes. Typically, a Form 4852 (Substitute Form W-2) or a "corrected" Form 1099 is used as a way to improperly reduce taxable income to zero. The taxpayer may also submit a statement rebutting wages and taxes reported by a payer to the IRS.
Disguised Corporate Ownership
The IRS said, third parties can be improperly used to request employer identification numbers and form corporations that obscure the true ownership of the business.
These entities can be used to under-report income, claim fictitious deductions, avoid filing tax returns, participate in listed transactions and facilitate money laundering, and financial crimes. The IRS said it's working with state authorities to identify these groups and penalize their owners.
Misuse of Trusts
The IRS said people promote taxpayers to transfer assets into trusts under the assumption that it will mean less income subject to tax, deductions for personal expenses and reduced estate or gift taxes. However, the IRS said these trusts rarely deliver the tax benefits promised.

Where I stayed
Day 130: Sunday 27th May 2012
Getting up early I grabbed some tea and toast from breakfast and jumped on the bus bound for Bako National Park. From there I needed to get a boat to the Park proper. Unfortunately this costs a small fortune to do alone so I had to wait for some other people to show up that were looking not only to go there now but also stay a night and leave the following day. This was because you had to by a return ticket rather than a one way one and go back with the same people you enter with. No idea why they do it this way its just how they operate here. I ended up joining with Alan & Patricia, an American Couple from New York. The 20 minute boat ride cruised up the mouth of the river into the South China Sea. The coast line here is easily as spectacular is not surpassing that of the Perhentian Islands. The rocky sea stacks are simply phenomenal. Huge strutting outcrops that shoot out of the sea, seemingly from nowhere, normally peaked with trees, shrubs and fauna. I've never seen an environment more foreign, more alien to me than this. Truly spectacular.
After getting to know the local wild boars that live around the park headquarters and the mundane tasks of checking in and unpacking the three of us hit the trails
The main part of our trek today was along the Lingtang trail. A much more substantial route of approximately 4-5 hours it takes a nice arch around a sizeable portion of the park. It is about the longest route you can hope to make of the park whilst still making it back to base in the same day. The main draw of this route is that varied biomes that it takes you through. Literally every 500m or so the scenery changes completely, you could be half a country away. From deepest jungle to sandy beach paths, rocky walkways to spartan plateaus this trail really kept your interest peaked. The wildlife this far into the park was strangely less prevalent than it had been at the start but the plants, trees and fauna were more than enough to keep you occupied. Just as we got back to the park we were treated with the perfect way to end out hike
After a few hours recovery back at Park HQ we headed out on the night walk. Going by torchlight we got to see everything from scorpions and spiders to snakes, frogs, stick insects and even fish. Its amazing how much more you see by night here than you do during the day. The guide was amazing we would never have seen half a much without him. We were worried at one point that we had been caught in the rain but it turned out just to be a golden shower courtesy of a nearby proboscis monkey. When the lights went out we got a real sense of exactly what dark meant. Despite what you might think it isn't at all scary being deep in the jungle at night its actually rather peaceful listening to the sounds of the nocturnal wildlife whilst wandering through it silently was really soothing.
Day 131: Monday 28th May 2012
After a quick breakfast (I had Kaya on Bread as it was the cheapest thing on an otherwise pretty pricey menu) we headed out on our morning trek. we were headed for Telok Pandan Kecil Beach
Arriving back in Kuching I headed back to the Threehouse to spend the night. I was hoping for a nice relaxing evening filled with surfing the web, watching films and catching up on my blog. Unfortunately although it started out that way it was not to last. After a quick chat with Alex we discovered that our flights to Mulu (The details for which I had sent to her so that she could by) were not flights to Mulu. Despite the fact that I went through the Mulu site to get them the website auto-fill had selected tickets that went to Labuan (A vegas-esk island in the completely wrong direction) instead
In preparation for my 15 hour bus journey the next day followed by an 8+ hour wait through th night in a bus station I decided to pull an all nighter. The hope being that I would be tired enough the next day to sleep during the day on the bus and wouldn't be too tired during the following night. It was more challenging than I remember it being during University but I managed it nonetheless. It wouldn't really work though unfortunately, it was only after the journey that I got the suggestion to use some sleeping pills. Sometimes the most obvious solutions escape us..
Day 132: Tuesday 29th May 2012
A travel day in every sense of the word. Not waking up so much as freshening up after my all nighter I made my way first to the airport in the hope of being able to cancel my original Mulu tickets and getting back some of the money. As concerned as I was about getting my money back if I'm honest I was more worried about if Alex would be able to get her money back as in my eyes it was my fault that she had lost it. Her tickets had also been almost twice as much as mine as she had booked them later. I was informed that due to my tickets being a promotion deal they were not liable to be refunded. That didn't stop them from cancelling them straight away regardless to sell onto someone else of course...
The rest of the day was spent on the worlds coldest bus. As warm as it was outside they decided to blast air-con on full whack so that everyone is shivering uncontrollably for the entire journey. All hopes of sleeping on the trip vanished almost immediately, and I distracted myself form the cold with some reading and listening to music. I arrived in Miri a little after 1am. Figuring the bus companies would open somewhere between 6-8 I settled down on a bench and napped as much as I could before morning. I may have been outside but at least it was warmer now than on the bus and im sure I managed an hour or 2.

Higgins, Inspector General for Department of Education, announced that United States District Judge Paul L. Friedman today sentenced Silvader Denise Estep, 49, of Fort Washington, Maryland, to 33 months of incarceration and three years of supervised release for conspiring to defraud the government. Estep pled guilty in February of this year to the charge of conspiracy for her role in a scheme to steal $162,000 from the Department of Education. Judge Friedman also ordered Estep to pay restitution of $146,977. In calculating the sentence, Judge Friedman agreed with the government that Estep occupied a position of trust, that she was a manager or supervisor in a criminal enterprise with five participants, and that she misrepresented that she was acting on behalf of a government agency.
According to the evidence presented at the sentencing hearing, from 1996 through 1999, Department of Education employees Estep and co-defendant Jean Williams Stancell stole property and money in the total amount of approximately $162,000 from Department of Education ("Education") by charging goods and services for themselves and others on government-issued purchase cards. During the conspiracy, Stancell and Estep both worked for the Quality Workplace Group ("QWG") at Education. QWG was the facilities management component of Education. Its mission was to hire contractors to perform maintenance work at Education buildings and to purchase furniture and office supplies for Education employees. Education issued VISA purchase cards to certain QWG employees in order for them to pay for goods and services. Education developed the following procedures to prevent fraudulent use of purchase cards: employees were required to obtain invoices from contractors and vendors when possible, maintain logs of charges, reconcile monthly statements logs, and certify, under penalty of 18 U.S.C. § 1001, that the charges were legitimate.
Estep and Stancell approached various vendors of Education and asked them to charge the government-issued purchase cards for work performed for the benefit of themselves and their associates. At times, Estep asked a vendor to charge a government-issued purchase card without doing any work, but to give her the majority of the cash generated by charging the government. In order to disguise the theft, Estep asked others to create false invoices. Stancell asked a vendor for money in exchange for work orders from Education. Later, Stancell suggested that this vendor make false statements to the grand jury.
Also as part of this investigation, two employees of one of the vendors pleaded guilty and have been sentenced. Christopher Griffin, 38, of Dale City, Virginia, pleaded guilty to Theft of Government Property (misdemeanor) on December 12, 2001, and was sentenced to three years of probation on May 30, 2003; Robert Banks, 36, of Springfield, Virginia, pleaded guilty to Theft of Government Property (misdemeanor) on September 12, 2001, and was sentenced to three years probation on May 9, 2002. Jean Williams Stancell, 54, of Fort Washington, Maryland, pleaded guilty to Conspiracy on January 22, 2003, and awaits sentencing. Co-conspirator James Barksdale, 59, of Fort Belvoir, Virginia, pleaded guilty to Conspiracy on May 22, 2002; his sentencing is pending.
In announcing the results of this investigation, United States Attorney Howard and Inspector Higgins commended the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Education's Office of Inspector General, in particular, Special Agents Lauren LeMay and George Blissman. In addition, they praised Paralegal Specialist Jeanie Latimore-Brown, Legal Assistant April Peeler, and Auditor Sandra Henderson. They also commended former Assistant U.S. Attorneys Ann Rosenfield and Elizabeth Coombe, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Virginia Cheatham.


text: I have been putting a little bit of money into my truck this week to get it back in ship shape. I needed a new TPMS Sensor, had that fixed, installed new lock actuators and today replaced inner and outer tie rods on both sides (only needed right side inner, but why not do them all while in there). So today after work I pulled her onto the hoist to do the tie rods. While looking over the truck from the bottom side I noticed one of the trans lines near the front of the truck just above the front skid plate had some moisture around it. It has a very, very slow leak (trans fluid has never been low). I'm not exactly sure where in the line it is leaking but that isn't a concern as I realize I will have to replace the line. My main question is, how difficult is this? This is the first vehicle I have ever owned (always been a lease guy), so I have never worried about anything other than oil changes.:lol: I am pretty mechanically inclined just wanted some opinions on the difficulty of this job, time requirements, tools needed, etc. Also, how many trans lines are in the front of the truck and would it be worth changing them all out at the same time once/if I dive into this project. By the way, the truck has 68,XXX miles and I live in the Metro Detroit area (the salt is GREAT for our vehicles). I'm not too concerned with having to put some money into it to keep it a nice vehicle, since it was new in Jan 09 the only money I have put into it other than what I've done this week is L.O.F.'s and tires. Anyone who can shed some light on this would be greatly appreciated!

Now, if this competition were done in the CoP system, there would be a Caller to announce that the second jump of the triple was underrotated if that was what he saw. I don't think it would have changed the outcome. Shizuka had the roar of the crowd.
I wish Michael Weiss would have had a chance to compete under CoP judging. All those two-footed quads would have counted (with only a -2 GOE) under the NJS.
Weiss DID compete under the CoP system. He skated at TEB last season, and at SA and NHK in the 2004-2005 season, and he even won bronze in the GPF in the 2003-2004 season. His problems were not only his two-foot quad, but also the 3A, which was often not a secure jump for him. His music selections and his wife's choreography didn't help him much, either.
Speaking of her 3-3-3, does anyone have the video of the practice session where Shizuka did it? It was on Youtube but I can't find it anymore.
Regarding the 3-3: I think Sasha put it best when she said that you get more points if you just stay on your feet. Maybe the ladies who start out with a 3-2 decide not to add that extra rotation because it hasn't gotten to the point where a 3-3 is absolutely essential to win.

Thank you for your careful evaluation of the research question and analysis methods. Consistent with your suggestions, our research plan includes evaluation of the study results with ANCOVA, propensity matching, and the heckman method. All of these methods, and more, were used in a similar study of test preparation with different tests, populations, and test preparation behaviors (Powers, D. E. & Rock, D. A. (1998). Effects of coaching on SAT I: Reasoning scores. New York: College Entrance Examination Board.)
As a result of working with existing afqt datasets I am hopeful that the rho for the test prep data will be small (.05 to .10).

What you are running into is the fundamental problem with causal
analysis. A causal effect can be thought of as a counterfactual
experiment: You want to compare the test score of someone that prepared
for the test with the test score of that same person when (s)he did not
prepare for the test. The problem is that you cannot have a person that
is both prepared and unprepared at the same time. An alternative way of
thingking about this is that you are looking for another person that is
the same in every respect except that that person did not prepare. Such
a person obviously does not exist.
The information we do have is a comparison of groups. You can use
regression / ANOVA to control for other observed variables. An
alternative method of controlling for observed characteristics is
propensity score matching. Some would call these estimates biased
because they expect that students who know that they won't do well are
less likely to prepare, thus leading to an overestimation of the effect
of preparetion; the students who did not prepare are expected to gain
less from preparation then the students that did prepare. I would not
call the group comparisons biased, but I would call them the empirical
information that you use in your model. Once you have presented the
empirical information, you can start adding assumptions, for instance
by using -treatreg-, thus sacrificing empirical content to get closer
to the theoretical concept you are interested in. If anything group
comparisons are, if interpreted correctly as the difference between
groups, likely to be much less biased than so called causal models.
This is not because one type of model is inherently better than the
other, but because the group comparison models try to solve a much
easier problem.

I watched on NBC. Had Ashley landed those back loaded jumps, she would have won.
Finally got to see Leonova's routine. She really is delightful! If she does this well at the Olympics, she'll medal and deserve it. Between her and Suzuki, we might actually get to have a little fun watching the Ladies' Competition at Vancouver, instead of a three-hanky weepie. (Of course, I continue to hope for a resurgence of Mao and of whichever two Americans make it to the Olympics, and perfection from YuNa.)
Very much agree with this.. Leonova is a fresh breath of air into a ladies skate, which has become extremely mediocre with similar routines all over the place (plus yawn-fest music). I am now convined Mao's Bells are far more superior to any of the ladies' programmes I've seen so far (except Yuna, Suzuki's short and if she skates to potential maybe Leonova).

In the past, I've borrowed a very nice 5-frame observation hive, but it's much too big and heavy for a 30 minute talk to 1st graders. I'd like something smaller.
Anyone have plans or comments on building such a thing?

George Clooney Gossip
George Clooney gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Jen, Justin, and George
Every time George Clooney makes a movie these days it's considered an Oscar contender. Who wouldn't want in on some of that action? Is that why Justin Theroux signed with CAA? His fiancée can help with that too. So while Brange is off with their nanny militia over in the Caribbean, the child-free celebrity circuit is counting down to 2013 on the other side -- she and Justin apparently had dinner with George and Stacy Keibler in Cabo the other night. Full Story
George's Mexican Thanksgiving
Ok we'll get to that in a minute but first... Look how tall Presley Gerber is! Cindy Crawford's son will be 14 next July. If I were his age, he would be trouble for me. So here's George Clooney with his best friend Rande and his family and yes, of course, Stacy Keibler too, all of them spending Thanksgiving together in Mexico. Full Story
George Clooney's girlfriend gets to present
FameFlynet, Kevin Winter/ Jason Merritt/ Getty
Stacy Keibler presented at the American Music Awards last night because... She's dating George Clooney? Far as I know there's not much else to promote. And whatever she does have to promote, I'm pretty sure it's not on ABC either. Whatever. We've already established that being George Clooney's girlfriend has its many advantages, so long as you're not a dumbass about the contraband, marriage and babies. Full Story
George Clooney and Stacy's crowd
Wenn, Christopher Polk/ Getty
Stacy Keibler accompanied George Clooney to the Carousel Ball of Hope the other night. Or maybe I should say that George Clooney accompanied Stacy Keibler. Because... well... here are some of the other people at the event: Joan Van Ark Charlene Tilton Jason Davis Nicollette Sheridan Jennie Garth Nicky Hilton Julianne Hough Carmen Electra Cheryl Burke I mean. Full Story
What George gave Stacy
Jackson Lee/ Splash
Here are George Clooney and Stacy Keibler arriving in New York yesterday after a weekend of Obama supporting in California. Really into what she's wearing here. Her casual clothes are actually pretty cute. It's when she has to get dressed up where we run into problems. Anyway, they had dinner with Bill Murray last night. Full Story
George borrows Brange's move
Brian To /Apega /Nikki Nelson /WENN, Lester Cohen /Kevin Winter /Jason Merritt /Getty Images
George Clooney took Stacy Kiebler to the Argo premiere last night. Earlier this week there were rumours that he was done with her. Unlike last time when the same rumours were circulating and he had his publicist issue a denial, George chose instead not to release a statement since a public appearance and pictures look much better anyway. Full Story
Ben, Jen, and George
Jason Merritt /Eric Charbonneau /Kevin Winter /Getty Images
Ben Affleck let us see him kiss his wife on a red carpet last night. It must be Oscar time. And they say he's good for several nominations. With a lot of studio money behind him, at this point it's almost a guarantee. I mean, Ben would have to f-ck up hard to not be at the Dolby in February, especially with Jennifer Garner playing Michelle Obama at his side. Full Story
This is still George Clooney's girlfriend but she's wearing an ugly dress
Wenn, Chelsea Lauren/Getty
George Clooney and Stacy Keibler haven't been seen together in two weeks or so. This, apparently, is all the evidence the UK Sun needed to publish a story that they were done. The paper even went so far as to predict an imminent statement confirming the split. Full Story
George Clooney: commercials and cars
George Clooney was in Sarnico, Italy today shooting a commercial. One photo agency said it was for Mercedes, another said it was for something else. The point is this is how George manages his "small" movies - the cash money comes from endorsements and he gets to work on passion projects in film and devote some of his energy too to his causes. Full Story
Passing the torch at Villa Clooney
George Clooney is a two-time PEOPLE Sexiest Man Alive. I don't see how Channing Tatum isn't the slamdunk obvious choice this year. To me? On personal preference? No. But PEOPLE's SMA is not about personal preference. It's popularity and publicity and politics and "strategery" and on all that criteria, there's really no other candidate in 2012. Full Story
The back of Clooney's bike is not empty
Katie Holmes threw herself off the back of Tom Cruise's bike. He has yet to refill the position. George Clooney's backseat however is still occupied. He took Stacy Keibler on a day trip to Switzerland the other day with some friends. Last week I polled you the following: Balmoral with the Royals or invitation to Villa Clooney? It's been pretty even the responses. Full Story

U have stay home men...
Nowhere near Berlin

Deerr Deerr derr derr derr derrrr........ der der
Thats right if you can understand that. I just left the town of Zagan. Once known by its German name Sagan. A little town of around 12 000 people with zero foreign tourists and not a single person that speaks english. Why did I go here.....
To live out a childhood dream.
Deerr Deerr derr derr derr derrrr........ der der
Thats right..
Had to leave Ciaran to go my own way. Didnt think he would want to go to a old POW camp in the middle of nowhere. This town isnt in any guide book, and the only reason i knew about it was because of the special features on the great escape dvd i watched before i left. No one in Krakow or Warsaw had ever heard of this place. It was a 7 hour train ride to the west of poland. I arrived and walked out the train station. Thinking to myself is this the one from the movie. Then remembering the movie was not shot in Poland, because it was under the iron curtain.
I didnt have any map because it was impossible to find a map of this little town on the internet. I also didnt really have a place to stay. I tried calling some lady who i found ran a hotel their on the internet. She didnt speak english. I asked the train lady for a map, she gove me a map of the whole of Poland which was useless!!! I just walked up a street that I thought went to the center of the town. Found a big billboard map. I was all good. Found the center of the town. Walked around took some photos, there was so many people with dogs. I headed to the lady who ran the hotel who didnt speak english. But she was very nice. It turned out to be a pub next to a swamp
Got some food while in the town, I asked for 2 Cheeseburgers, pointing and the sign and holding up 2 fingers. She gave me 3 burgers. I realised later that I my thumb sticks up a little when i do a 2. The burgers were massive. I could only eat 2 max if i tried. Then 3 drunk teenagers walked up to me and started talking to me. One could speak broken english!. They were so drunk all they could do was giggle. They wondered how i even got there. One guy was hungry. So i gave him my 3rd burger. He was estatic. It turns out that day in Zagan a local beer company was having a party day there. Everyone was getting drunk at this park, which had a massive fussball table for 8 people to play at once, and all this other cool stuff, like dart board competions and stuff. I wish i loved beer. At this carnival thing, they wierdly were playing the Forest Gump soundtrack. I knew every song that was coming on next. I Got yet more pizza and sat and watched over an hour of J LO video clips that were on. I think im a big J Lo fan now.
I sleep in my pub bed, woke up, with yet more bites!! Found a taxi and said 'train PKP' (PKP is the train station company), and then i said 'Stalag!!' He took me to the train station then the fun began
Then the taxi took me to the famous place. He dropped me off at the museum about 15 minutes drive from the town. The taxi cost me a fortune. But i wasnt going to walk. I walk up to the museum. Had to ring a doorbell. A nice lady comes down. Lets me in. I was the only one in the small museum or around for 5 ks i reckon. She sat me down as i watched a documentary by myself in a room with 30 seats. There was some Dr talking about the history of the camp in english. There was a fake blue brick wall in the background.
I walked around the museum, realised there was also a camp next to mine called stalug luft 8c for french and soviet troops
I then went and pointed at the map again, seeing the lady was talking to the garbage men who had arrived. Just then a car pulled up. I thought, tourists?? It was the museum manager. He walked up to me and shook my hand and thanked me for coming. His name was Dr Jacob something... I realised WOW!! This is the guy from the documentary. I didnt know what to say. He said he would take me in his 4wd to the camp. I got in and he took me there. He showed me a map layout and got out of the car and pointed to where the tunnel was. Then he said he had to leave and to walk down the old German road to the main highway. Then he left. I looked around I was so far from the main road. He had left me in the middle of no where. I walked around what was left on the camp. Yes rubble. It was overgrown by trees and there were some spooky bunker areas which i didnt dare go into by myself in the middle of the woods. i didnt stay long. I sucked in the atmosphere then started to walk back to the main road. I had my big back pack and everything on. Got on the main road and kept walking looking for taxis
I hoped on the train and was woken up by a friendly German who stamped my passport. The most friendly passport officer yet. Then the ticket inspector later on who said, we have gone past Forst where is your ticket to Berlin? I was internally blowing up at that woman. Thinking of going back and clubbing her!. I had to pay for a whole new ticket to Berlin!
I was glad in the end to go to Zagan, even if it wasnt much. Still i achieved a somewhat childhood dream.

Great story man! I laughed a lot - you are damn right, Zagan is nothing. Except the drunken, unemployed youth which in my case molested me and my nephews - horrible situation there. There seems to be no hope, thats what I felt. And I came there for a reason - my grandfather owned a small farm in a nearby village called Dittersbach today Dczchowieze. You should have spend a visite to the countryside in that area - the villages are very poor and the reason why everyone got a dog there is they use it as a guard of the house or farm. So nicking is quiet common there. At the time of the great escape my grandfather was fighting at the eastern front in russia in the german Wehrmacht, my grandmother stayed at home on the farm with her 3 kids. I am sure some of that prisoners walked along our farm when they fled. You know Stalag Luft III was the reason why Sagan today Zagan didn´t suffer onder the allies bombardment - they did not bomb this place because they were afraid of killing their own estimated 20.000 soldiers, all staff from the air force. The destruction of Zagan town took place when the russians conquered nether slezia - Niederschlesien, which was a part of germany. The allies in fact confiscated it and all ethnic germans had to leave - therefore a lot of polish people from north poland, the ukraine, white russia and galicia where expelled by the russians and brought to this area. So the history of Zagan and surrounding villages is one of displacement. Maybe that is the reason why the people there are not that happy - the population is a mixture of all polish geographicall pedigrees - plus the borders where not excepted by germany until after the reuniting of germany in 1990. Up to this moment all the people, especially the farmers, did not invest money and work into their farms because they where afraid this area would perhaps in some way become german again. Polen became a member of the EU and with the ending of the communist dictatorship in Poland the discrimination of the last germans there stopped. Today you can buy back the land of your forfathers, and I hope some day I am able to do that. We lived there for 700 years, poor peasants who reclaimed the land in generations.
I really did not know that the film "The great escape" showed the place of my origin when I saw it at the age of maybe 10 - until I came there. Nearly everyone I know saw the film, nobody knows where this place is today. They really should make more out of this.
Greatings from germany
I enjoyed reading about your experiences in visiting Zagan. I'm also hoping to visit the site of "The Great Escape" (perhaps in 2011?) but I'm having a difficult time finding much information on travelling there. Your Blog helped a lot in that regard. I assume getting to Zagan is easiest by train, but to reach the camp I may use a rental car rather than a Taxi.
Yes train is the easiest! Hiring a car is probably a good idea too! Although I don't remember there being and place to hire a car around the train station.
Hi there to Australia,
the way for you to travel to Zagan again would be to fly to Berlin, rent a car and then take the motorway (Autobahn) No. 13 to Dresden - then you change on the Autobahn 15 to Cottbus towards the polish border, you cross the border and keep on traveling on that road - there it is called E 36 (E stands for Europastrasse - Europestreet), after 5-10 Kilometer you take the junction towards Zary and this will lead you to Zagan. This is the fastes way to get there, according to GoogleMap it is only 220 Kilometers - about 140 Miles.
You made a photo of a church - or that what is left from it. The rest burned down in the war - the german located anti aircraft cannos on the church and during the heavy fights with the red army this church, which was one of the most beautiful protestant churches in Eastgermany. My grandparents married there, I still got a photo with them standing at the entree. And the parents of my grandma lived opposite to the train station, her father worked for the railway.
The town zagan really should start advertisment connected to the film "The great escape" - it is a pitty that it does not, for example, is named on the cover of the DVD. Imagine what kind of boost that woud bring for tourism in Zagan. In fact that is the only attraction they got there, they really should work harder on that - they could organize guided tours on verified routes the prisoners took that night. Really, everyone in the english-speaking world knows that classic war epos film - no one knows where it happened. The town of Zagan could make a fortune out of this fact.
Thanks for your reaction, all the best from Mülheim an der Ruhr in the western part of Germany in the heart of the Ruhrgebiet - ruhrarea.

Serves 8
Prep Time 45 min
Total Time 90 min.
Step 1
To make crust: Position rack in the lower third of the oven; preheat to 425°F.
Step 2
Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook butter, swirling the pan, for about 30 seconds, or until it is a light nutty brown. Pour into a small bowl and let cool. Stir in canola oil.
Step 3
Whisk flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Slowly stir the butter-oil mixture into the flour mixture with a fork until it is crumbly. Gradually stir in enough ice water for the dough to hold together. Gather the dough into a ball.
Step 4
Place the dough between two sheets of plastic wrap and flatten into a disk. Roll into a 12-inch circle. Remove the top plastic sheet and invert dough into a 9-inch pie pan. Remove the remaining plastic. Fold edges under at the rim and crimp.
Step 5
Line the dough with a piece of foil or parchment paper large enough to lift out easily; fill evenly with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 7 minutes. Remove paper and weights and bake for 3 to 5 minutes longer, or just until lightly browned. (The crust will not be fully baked.) Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
Step 6
To make filling: Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over low heat. Add leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are soft and wilted, 15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Step 7
Whisk eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Add evaporated milk, fat-free or low-fat milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne, stirring gently to avoid creating bubbles.
Step 8
To assemble & bake quiche: Spread mustard over the bottom of the prebaked crust; sprinkle evenly with breadcrumbs. Top with Gruyère, then the cooked leeks. Carefully pour in the egg mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Bake until just set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Springtime in the Green Mountains
West Dover Inn • West Dover, VT
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Standard Room Any Days of the Week
- Daily Full Breakfast for Two
- Picnic Lunch with Sandwiches, Fruit, Crackers, and Drinks for Two
- $25 Credit Toward Kayak or Canoe Rentals
- Bottle of Wine
- Map of Secret Hikes and Waterfalls
The Destination
A quaint township just north of Wilmington, West Dover is stationed among the sugar maples of the Green Mountain National Forest. Here in the heart of Southern Vermont, you can delight in the best of all seasons via the landscape's vibrant autumn leaves, sparkling winter snow, or spring mountain greenery. The rural villages in these parts operate at a sleepy speed, while the nearby Mount Snow picks up the pace with its wide ski runs and challenging hiking trails.
The Digs
West Dover Inn is a white clapboard home—built in 1846 as a tavern and stagecoach stop—standing at the center of Dover's historic-landmark district. Inside, each guest room boasts a private bathroom, Internet access, and comes decorated with antiques. Some even have fireplaces and Jacuzzi tubs. You'll wake each day to a full breakfast for two at the inn's 1846 Tavern & Restaurant, but delectable dining doesn't have to stop there. At dinnertime, Chef Kyle transforms seasonal ingredients from local farmers markets into inventive dishes like organic panko-encrusted chicken with a maple-bourbon cream sauce. And before you depart, ask for a peek at the unique poem continually written by each of the owners, preserving the inn's history for more than 100 years.
The Diversions
• Green Mountain National Forest
• Mount Snow
• Vermont Country Store
• Manchester Designer Outlets
"Vermont's rolling, cow-spotted hills, shaggy peaks, sugar maples, and quaint towns clustered along river valleys give it a distinct sense of place... This place captures a sense of America as it once was—because here it still is."-- Frommer's

A Slice of Life in Hunt Country
Cheesecake Farms • Sumerduck, VA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two, Fridays and Saturdays or Mondays and Tuesdays
- Daily Breakfast and Dinner
- Bottle of Virginia Wine and Fruit and Cheese Plate
- Gourmet Picnic Lunch
- Cheesecake, Bottle of Vanilla Extract, and Signed Cheesecake Farms Cookbook to Take Home
Vacation time is always sweet, but like sugary confections, not all getaways are created equal. For the relaxing holiday that you crave, Escape to Cheesecake Farms in Virginia's Fauquier County.
Your stay in Hunt Country will prove every bit as delicious as it sounds when you're greeted with a bottle of Virginia wine and a fruit and cheese plate. For 20 years, innkeeper Karla Seidita brought fame to Fredericksburg with her bakery, Karla's Great Cheesecakes. Like all legends, her cheesecakes live on after retiring to the farm a few years ago. You'll delight in them, among other treats in a culinary cache, at this one-of-a-kind B&B.
Karla cooks with locally raised and produced foods, many of which are grown on her own farm. Her bounty of baked goods is made with unbleached flour, free-range eggs, and creamery butter.
Get to know Missy, Lark, and Frank, your resident equine friends, before taking in a heaping spoonful of horse country, being sure to squeeze in a a trip to Smith's Antiques, a Sumerduck mainstay since 1959. The area is also home to more than 20 picturesque vineyards, some offering tastings and tours.
"Hunt Country is studded with horse farms bordered by stone fences, plantations with elegant manses, picturesque villages, country inns, and fine restaurants," says Frommer's. "Don't be surprised to see rich and famous folk strolling the streets or having a bite of lunch, for some of the world's wealthiest people keep their thoroughbreds here."
Before whisking away, get a whole cheesecake packed for travel, a goodie bag of treats, and a bottle of homemade vanilla extract to take home—precisely the secret ingredients for a piece-of-cake getaway.
"This B&B is terrific! The hosts are warm and friendly and Karla is a terrific cook and baker. There are three horses on the property and I loved the casual, country atmosphere."-- TripAdvisor
