Climate scientist Jim Salinger has backtracked on a forecast that was going to see the mercury hitting 40 degrees for the next few days.
Instead parts of the country will reach temperatures between 30C and 35C, Dr Salinger said today.
"It will still be warm and will probably be the warmest period for the summer, but we're not going to be touching 40C,'' he said.
Yesterday, Dr Salinger said the conditions were ripe for the mercury to reach the high 30s and even 40s on the eastern side of New Zealand. The conditions this week were very similar to that of a heatwave.
Today he said "warmth models'' were predicting higher levels earlier in the week.
"If you look at the models now, they've narrowed (the temperatures) down and brought them back a bit. But we're still looking at healthy temperatures in the low to mid 30s.''
New Zealand's hottest recorded temperature is 42C in Rangiora on February 7, 1973, followed by 40.3C on February 6, 2011, in Timaru.
Auckland's hottest recorded temperature is 32.4 on February 12, 2009, at Whenuapai Air Base. It equalled the city's previous high, recorded in the Auckland Domain in February 137 years earlier, in 1872.
Hawkes Bay is on drought watch after receiving just half its normal January rainfall. December was also dry.
Ministry of Primary Industries' spokesman Stuart Anderson said an official drought would be declared when it had economic, environmental and social impacts on farming businesses, families and the wider community.
The warm, dry weather has proved a boon for vineyards and orchardists, and Otane grower Hugh Ritchie was philosophical about non-irrigated crops suffering.
"Last year we had just as many disasters with the wet weather, so it's swings and roundabouts,'' he said.
Data from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research shows Kaitaia has had 4mm of rain compared to a normal 89mm for the month, Auckland 6mm compared to 61mm, Tauranga 4mm compared to 78mm, and Hamilton 11mm instead of 82mm.
MetService meteorologist Dan Corbett said the first bit of rain would not reach the country until Sunday.
"The next weather system that brings rain for most of us doesn't come until Sunday night into Monday. Monday, most of us start to see it.''
Fiordland would have a small amount of rain tomorrow but Mr Corbett said it would be a case of "you blink and you miss it''.
Otherwise, the conditions had been bone dry for most of the country.

Hey Morehead, how about Phil Simms!
199/157 look at that 2/1 ratio right?
Look at all the elite QB's in football today. They are off the charts in that respect.
This isn't an "Eli sucks" position. But it is of concern to me. Of course its not to you because you wear blinders.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
In THIS era its not. The rule favor the passing game so much now. The NFL is making it easy to throw the ball. In THIS era, a 2 to 1 ratio is a baseline expectation for a good QB (not great...just good) in his prime.
And in Eli's case, he's not even improving in this catagory. He's essentially where he was in 2005. I get that Eli is kind of an exception (as is Cutler in my view) because of his ability to win big games and run the two minute drill, but he needs to pick up his efficiency in this regard to meet even minimum standards.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
I saw Phil play a good amount of his years, and he was a great player. One of the toughest players I have ever seen. He took hits that took players out for seasons. Hense why he was injured a lot early on in his career. Other then Marino, Elway and Montana Phil had one of the best passes in his era. Great spiral, clean release, great accuracy.

I mean I can keep going MH...there are like 3 or 4 guys who DO have a 2/1 ratio in the NFL (if that)
what you are expecting is extremely incredibly rare...like 1 in 100+ QB's in this era rare.
Watch these throws and tell me that Eli could ever throw the ball like this.

Israelis and Palestinians have clashed violently for decades over claims to the same land. Now, for the first time in years, the two groups are planning to resume peace talks on Monday evening in Washington, D.C.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has been working for months to make it possible for the groups to come together to discuss a path to peace. On Sunday, he invited Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, to send negotiating teams to the U.S. capital.
"Both leaders have demonstrated a willingness to make difficult decisions that have been instrumental in getting to this point," Mr. Kerry said in a statement. "We are grateful for their leadership."
A Tough Choice
On Sunday, Israeli leaders agreed to release 104 Palestinian prisoners. The release is a key part of the deal to restart the peace process. The plan is for the prisoners to be released in stages, depending on the progress of the talks.
In Israel, the decision to release these prisoners, most of whom have been convicted of killing Israelis, is a controversial one. As Netanyahu discussed the plan with the member of his Cabinet on Sunday, hundreds of Israelis protested outside.
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat called the decision to release the prisoners "a step toward peace," and said, "I hope that we can use this opportunity that the U.S. has provided for us to resume negotiations."
Laying the Foundation
Erekat and Israeli Justice Minister Tzipi Livni will lead the early talks, in which the groups will discuss a framework for moving forward with negotiations. Once the structure for the talks has been determined, the main goal will be to move on to peace talks that will establish a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
Many worry that the talks will fall apart early on—as they have in the past—even before the groups have a chance to discuss core issues. Some experts say that President Barack Obama's involvement could help a great deal.
How much of a role President Obama will play remains to be seen. But he has made clear that he believes it is possible for Israelis and Palestinians to find a path to peace. On a visit to Israel in March, Obama delivered a speech to an audience of young Israelis. "Peace is necessary . . . peace is also just," he said, adding that a deal remains possible.

Hi Guys,
Another advantage to top bar hive beekeeping. There's very little propolis in the tbh hive. And none on the ends of the top bars which is where I usually hold them. I can work several tbhs and come away with clean hand and hive equipment.
That's not the case with my lang hives. The bees pack propolis around the ends of the frames. And that's where I hold them, getting my fingers, hivetool and smoker covered in propolis.
The difference was very obvious when I worked both sets of hives today.
Thinking a tbh is a clean machine :> )

Another Too-Extreme Republican Joins VA-10's Race-to-the-Right Republican Primary

Saints quarterback Drew Brees. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Saturday, December 07, 2013 11:19 PM
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Carolina coach Ron Rivera spent last December trying to muster a respectable enough finish to save his job.
Sean Payton, banished in connection with the bounty scandal, watched his Saints miss the playoffs from afar.
Both teams have gone from 7-9 finishes in 2012 to 9-3 records now, assuring each of winning seasons and putting them on track to make the playoffs.
Yet only one can claim the NFC South crown and the benefits that come with starting the postseason at home. Which team has the inside track will be established when they clash in the Superdome in a game recently moved from this afternoon to prime time because of how much these clubs have improved.
"They were kind of in the same boat as us last year," Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly said. "They were a good team with a good offense. They just needed to tighten some things up.
"This year they're moving the ball on offense. They're playing well on defense," Kuechly added. "I guess it is a little bit the same" for Carolina.
Last weekend, these teams looked more like they were going in opposite directions.
The Saints fell hard, 34-7 in Seattle on Monday night in what had been hyped as the biggest game in the NFC to date. Carolina increased its NFL-long winning streak to eight with a convincing 27-6 win over recently resurgent Tampa Bay.
Drew Brees bristled at the notion the Saints' last performance might have eroded their confidence.
"We've done things well for a very long time in a lot of different ways," the quarterback said. "One game does not set that back. One game does not change our mindset, our confidence level or our attitude in any way. ... We still know we're a great football team."
The Panthers' winning streak featured what was widely seen as a coming-of-age performance on a Monday night against New England a few weeks ago. Winning a night game in the Superdome, where the Saints are 6-0 this season, might be even more impressive.
"It's a big game that everyone will be watching," Kuechly said. "It's against the Saints — a division game and a good team. There's not a whole lot of motivation that you need in this game. It's Drew Brees and the Saints on Sunday night. We're 9-3. They're 9-3. It's going to be an exciting game."
On that point, Kuechly gets no argument from the opposition.
"Yeah, it is a big game," Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins said. "You don't really have to add much sugar to this one."
Containing Cam
Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has been slippery during his team's win streak, often breaking out of tackles when it appears he's down, only to pick up a big gain. He did so last week on a 56-yard jaunt.
"He does a very good job of deciding when to run and when to look for the throw down the field," Saints coach Sean Payton noted.
The Saints will need more discipline to bottle Newton up than they displayed against Seattle's Russell Wilson, who gained 47 yards on scrambles.
Ball Hogs
This matchup features offenses that have been the best in the NFL at keeping the ball away from their opponents. The Panthers are first in the league in time of possession, averaging 33:10. The Saints are second, averaging 32:30.
Riverboat Ron
The Panthers have faced fourth-and-1 12 times since Week 2. Carolina has gone for it nine times, converting eight, including four for touchdowns. For that, Carolina's coach has earned the nickname "Riverboat Ron."
"The moniker is what it is as far as trying to describe some of the decisions I've made," Rivera said. "I kind of look at what I've done as just calculating it. ... We've got to just keep rolling with it I guess."
Running Concerns
Newton has led his team in rushing the past three games — not what Carolina wants. But the Panthers expect running back DeAngelo Williams to return from his quad contusion. Williams had 210 yards rushing and two TDs in Carolina's last meeting with the Saints.
New Orleans, meanwhile, has struggled to run consistently, ranking 23rd in the league.
Dome Advantage
Rivera said he wasn't about to judge the New Orleans offense by its recent futility in Seattle, perhaps a wise move given Brees' production in the Superdome. The Saints QB has completed 73.5 percent of his passes for 2,141 yards and 19 TDs while getting intercepted only three times in six home games.

Once it's filled to the correct capapcity, itl'll get really cold really fast and the clicking should go away. Also, this thread should have been put in the appropriate vehicle subforum, not member introdutions.

You guys had an incredible 80s and got sloppy seconds in the 90s. The Giants have been playing in championship games in 9 of their 10 decades and have won 8 of them.
I guess you guys need to be reminded your team dates back to 1946 and the failed AAFC and aside from the 80s and part of the 90s were the definition of garbage. Most of your fans probably don't even know that.

So much potential coexists with so many scientific, environmental and economic challenges
Philip T. Pienkos, Lieve Laurens, Andy Aden
The technical hurdles described above have all been overcome to some degree (in the laboratory or in pilot facilities), but the biggest challenge to the commercial viability of algae-based biofuels is to carry out steps at low enough cost to produce a competitively priced biofuel. Analyses over the past 20 to 30 years predicting cost have ranged from what could be characterized as wildly optimistic (less than $1 per gallon) to more conservative but hardly encouraging (more than $40 per gallon). Until true production costs are understood, cost reduction from research and development gains are difficult to quantify. Therefore, NREL is attempting to establish baseline costs for producing algal biofuels using technology readily available today.
To do this, we apply experience and methodologies used previously for technoeconomic analysis of lignocellulosic, or woody, feedstocks for biofuels production. Technoeconomic analysis combines detailed conceptual process design with economic analysis to tie performance to cost. To do this, we have modeled baseline algae processes for both open-pond and closed photobioreactor systems. The models include growth; harvesting; concentration; lipid extraction and recovery; and conversion to fuel. The baseline models currently assume that spent algal biomass goes through anaerobic digestion to recover some of the energy value as methane. However, the models will allow alternative coproducts to be explored. The material- and energy-flow rates calculated from these models can be used to determine the size of equipment needed and to develop capital and operating costs for the algal biorefinery. In the end, the algal oil is assumed to be converted to diesel or jet blend stock.
In our recently published baseline analysis, fuel product at a 10-million-gallon-per-year facility could be produced for between $10 and $20 per gallon. Although many parameters affect the economics, we have identified two key cost drivers: lipid content and growth rate. With improvements to these and other parameters, as well as several coproduct scenarios, the potential for cost reduction is significant. Further enhancement of these models will come from using more experimental data from pilot operations underway across the country. Assumptions regarding the recycling of nutrients and water to reduce cost and improve sustainability will be tested for validity.
The composition of the biomass produced by a given process hugely influences the economics. The ratio and composition of proteins and carbohydrates in a given algae crop will determine the fate of the residual biomass once lipids are extracted. That can play a significant role in the overall process, perhaps even driving the development of alternative uses of residual algal biomass. For example, biomass with high fermentable sugar content could be converted into fuel ethanol, a product with more commercial value than methane.
One problem that also must be tackled is the large range in reported algal lipid content in the literature. The use of a wide variety of extraction methods and solvent types is part of the problem. The lack of a standard lipid-quantification procedure, differences in compatibility of the polarity of the solvents, differences in the polarity of the lipid molecules, and the accessibility of the lipids to solvent penetration all play a role. Inevitably, the extractable oil fraction will contain nonfuel components (such as chlorophyll and other pigments, proteins and hydrophobic carbohydrates). Thus it is necessary to assess the fuel fraction—the fatty-acid content of extracted lipids—within these oils. This is vital for accurately capturing productivity improvements. We must be certain that an observed increase in extracted lipids is not an artifact of the measurement process.
In this context, the algal-biofuels research community is moving away from extraction-based lipid quantification and toward a whole-biomass transesterification process, which gives an accurate yield of the potential fuel fraction. It does that by measuring only the fatty acids as methyl esters. Since the fatty acids are ultimately going to form the basis of the biofuel produced, this is an accurate measure of the total oil yield.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
How old were you when you did your first race at any particular distance:
5K, 10K/6M, 1/2Mara & or Full Mara?
What was your pace then?
How old were you when you had your most recent PB?
What was your pace on that occasion?
If you have stopped getting faster - what pace have you slowed down to now?
And can I ask your age?
I was 35 when I did my first race.
It was a cross country over about 6 miles, and my pace was roughly 8 1/2 mm
My best pace for a similar race was just over 7 1/2 mm when I was 48
I am now 59 and my most recent equivalent race was at about 10 mm pace
I am trying to get back to fitness after injury, but the last similar race I did when I was a bit fitter was at just a bit quicker than 9 1/2 mm and I was 57 at the time.
I started running in 2000 at the age of 40. My pb's are all from 2004-2005 - 10K at 7:15 m/m, half mara at 7:20 m/m and mara at 8:55 m/m (huge underachiever at that distance, methinks).
Now 52 and best paces from this season are 7:45 for the 10K and 8:15 for the half.
First race at 27, 1:28:30 half marathon after 17 weeks training.
All pb's set when 36/37.
Now 52, ran 59:45 for 10 miles couple of week ago.
First race; Aug 1999 - aged 31 - 10k @ 6:36 m/m
PBs Oct - Dec 2008 (41-42)
5k @ 5:36m/m - 10k pb @ 5:51 m/m - 10 mile @ 5:53m/m - 1/2 @ 6:05m/m Mara @ 6:42m/m - Sept 2007 (39)
Last race Nov 2012 (44) - 5k @ 6:18 m/m
First race was a 10K in about 70 mins when 16.
Did 41:34 in 1990 aged 18. Did 41:33 last month aged 41.
PB is 40:44, but reckon I am faster than that now as last month's race had a massive hill in it.
"I do take a lot of satisfaction in that 38 year gap between my first and {definately) last sub 60."
And rightly so, that's quite an achievement. But are you sure there isn't one more in you .. just for old time's sake?
Tom. wrote (see)
My debut at 10M was when I was 20, on which I ran 57:30. The last time I ran sub 60min was at age 58 (59:58...phew!). Although in my early career I have run much quicker than my debut time, I have also in my later career run much slower than my last sub 60min. However I do take a lot of satisfaction in that 38 year gap between my first and {definately) last sub 60.
Now that's what I call impressive. A mere 23 years myself.
sub-60 at 60 for 40 year span................come on it looks perfect
Aged 47 now. Started at age 42 with a 5 mile race that I've done annually ever since and every race has been 36 minutes and X number of seconds (haven't kept a record,so not sure which year was my PB but I don't think there has been much improvement or decline - this year though was 36:20).
Done my first two 10k races this year (both off road) and did them in 46 min 52 sec and 45 min 3 sec, so still improving there!
Also done 2 Tough Mudders (13.5 miles) this year but as part of a team, where there was a lot of waiting / dragging slower members round, so time was not an issue. Obstacles were fun though.
Before I ran just occasionally, as cross-training for other sports but at the moment I think it has just about risen to the top of my personal rankings for enjoyment - and the amount of time I am devoting to it.
Tell you what Tom, i'd be delighted with a sub 70 10 mile run right now and i'm 34.....
Restarted running at 38 after a 20 year gap and set all my PB's (bar one - see below) between 40 and 42.
Stayed pretty close to PB times up to and including age 47 (6 years ago) and set my 10 mile PB (66'24") that year. Admittedly, I had run far less 10 mile races than 5K, 10K, HM etc.
Since then I've been lucky with injuries and am still able to train consistently up to around 35 miles per week. However, best times have slowed inexorably from around 19 to 21 minutes (5K), 40 to 43 minutes (10K) and 89 to 99 minutes (HM).
Still love it though and try to chase "2 year PB's", i.e. best time within last 2 years.
I only started racing when I was 52 back in 2006 and so most of my PBs were set in the first couple of years after that, 1.15 for 10 miles, 1.37 for HM and 3.33 for M.
Ran a 10 mile a couple of weeks back and managed a 1.18 and my recent HMs have been about 1.43 ish. I reckon I have lost about 5 secs per mile over those distances.
If I look back at my Garmin stats my just go out for a run pace was 8mm, its probably 8.10 to 8.15 now, so perhaps losing 2 seconds per year of pace
Running at age 35 flat out, I could just about get down to 6 1/2 minute mile pace over shorter distances. Back then you did not race 5k's because it was the time of the marathon boom but, if I had it would have given me a time of just outside 20 minutes. This year hitting 60, I have raced a lot of 5k's and managed to nudge under 25 minutes which is as fast as I was ever going to get. On the long runs back then I had a 'run all day pace of 8 minute miling in my best period. Nowadays in a good period it is 10 minute miling.
Back then I would worry about times and positions but now I can be more laid back and no matter how slow I am on a bad or injured or dont-feel-like-it day, I dont come away unhappy.
In an effort to show that growing older doesn't mean an inexorable decline I will share my results with you. I started running 5 years ago (aged 42) and have steadily improved over this period.
Half Marathon: 2008 1:42:47 2012 1:33:33 (both over same course)
Well done RFI, them's good times for anyone of any age.

Faculty of Arts, Media and Design Art Show
Wednesday, November 10th
What started out as a small art show to exhibit the works of Design Studies faculty has blossomed into a full fledge creative event including artists, musicians, writers and singers.
On Wednesday November 10th, the Faculty of Arts Media and Design will hold its 4th Annual Art Show. The show features the work of staff and teachers. Exhibits run the gamut from board games to intricate oil paintings. One impromptu addition last year was a musical submission from Television professor Randy Dash and Dean Russell Mills – before long singers were coaxed to join the duo on stage.
The show has now developed not only an audience, but a long list of exhibitors. This year a harpist and poet will join the mix as well as some digital art from faculty.
The informal vibe is enticing and it's a great way to see art the way it is meant to be enjoyed.
Where they find the time to create is anybody's guess – but the teachers and staff in the Faculty of Arts, Media and Design produce some of the most innovative art you will ever see.
This free event takes place in T102 and runs from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Wine and cheese is served and the hospitality flows.

My team has changed since then, here is what it looks like now:
QB: Romo, Ryan
RB: Martin, Richardson, Greene, Hillis, Wilson, Mathews, Hunter, Spiller (I don't play)
WR: Cruz, S. Johnson, Fitzgerald, Wright, Brown
TE: Gronk, Olsen
DEF: Seattle (for the wk.1 AZ matchup)
K: Hartley
It's the same except a couple cuts, and I traded CJ and Nicks. I don't think Nicks will be able to stay healthy enough to be a consistent week-week all-star for me.
My question to you GMB, flex Wilson or Richardson this week along with Greene/Martin?
richardson he's gonna see more snaps, but they're playing tough eagles D and he 's coming off surgery so I can se why not but i'd still pick him
Oh, I have Robert Turbin, too. Serious consideration if Lynch misses the game.
And I'm NOT starting Romo. Statistically, and on paper, it appears Romo has the better matchup, but I just see the Giants defense clamping down on the Cowboys, and Witten isn't playing which might make Romo a bit uncomfortable.
Shonn is a frickin bum if you ask me :p
I also have a good feeling about Wilson though, I've started in him in three of my leagues.
Here's my 12 team league team: http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/...5at72915PM.png
Starting team will be adjusted*
And I don't care about the TE position. Black Unicorn is scoring tonight lol

UTSA committee seeks student input for IT job search
By David Gabler
Assistant Vice President for Communications
(Feb. 24, 2006)--To better understand UTSA students' needs related to computers and information technology, members of the committee responsible for recruiting a new associate vice provost for information technology will host two lunch forums to gain input.
Free and open to currently enrolled UTSA students, the lunches will provide students the opportunity to discuss issues related to computers and technology at the university.
Forums are set for 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 1 in the Frio Street Building Multipurpose Room (1.402) at the Downtown Campus and 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m., Thursday, March 2 in the University Center Mesquite Room (2.01.24) at the 1604 Campus. Free pizza and beverages will be served at the forums.

"We want to gain a broad understanding of UTSA students' needs in the area of information technology, so we can recommend extremely qualified candidates to President Romo," said Sonia Martinez, vice president for university advancement and chair of the IT search committee. "The individual chosen will serve as UTSA's chief information officer and is crucial to leading our efforts in maximizing the use of technology as the institution continues its pursuit of becoming a premier research university."
As part of the search, the committee chose to advertise in national publications such as The Chronicle of Higher Education, Diversity and Hispanic Outlook -- along with using resources such as EDUCAUSE, a national organization whose membership includes professionals in the IT community. The committee hopes to complete the search by the end of the spring semester.
Reporting to the provost and vice president for academic affairs, the associate vice provost for information technology is responsible for strategic planning in academic, research and administrative computing for UTSA. The UTSA Office of Information Technology (OIT) consists of 145 full-time professionals in six departments, in addition to a central executive support staff in the OIT office.
Along with Martinez, the search committee includes Mauli Agrawal, interim dean of the College of Engineering; Joe DeCristoforo, registrar and assistant vice president for student affairs; Eugene Dowdy, chair of the Department of Music; Carolyn Ellis, Web and information systems manager for the Institute for Economic Development; Craig Evans, director of Web and multimedia services; Wendell Fuqua, director of media production at the Institute of Texan Cultures; David Gabler, assistant vice president for communications; Victor Heller, interim chair of the Department of Management; Barbara Jakubowski, systems librarian for the UTSA Library; George Jeffery, senior systems analyst in the Office of the Provost; Jeffrey Kantor, associate vice president for research; Richard Knight, graduate student in physics; Mary Simon, director of management reporting and analysis; Sandra Welch, vice provost and interim associate vice provost for information technology; and Jesse Zapata, vice provost for the Downtown Campus.

I agree with David, I hope this is something high up on the wish list
(together with an improved editor). But what I wanted to say is that I
really appreciate that the staff of Stata are engaged in these
discussions. This, together with all the excellent advice from other
Stata users, is one of the main reasons why I really like Stata.
All the best,

I am relieved Chinh found my speculative analysis of the process Stata
uses to parse a block of table text to be correct.
In another thread (
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2007-07/msg00338.html )I have
been discussing Notetab, a programmable text editor that I use as a
development environment companion to Stata. Two of the text
processing macros ("clips" in Notetab parlance) I have created will
attempt to parse a block of table text into tabbed output. This
tabbed output can subsequently be pasted into a Spreadsheet or
Wordprocessor as a table. I find it generally more faithful to the
original layout than Stata's Copy Table feature. My routine does not
tabulate on single spaces, only 2+ spaces so is not as likely to trip
up on column titles. However, it will fail in densely compact tables
with single spaces between columns.
For example, using the table in Chinh's post:
Mileage | Repair Record 1978
(mpg) | 1 2 3 4 5 | Total
12 | 0 0 2 0 0 | 2
14 | 0 1 2 2 0 | 5
15 | 0 0 1 1 0 | 2
16 | 0 1 2 1 0 | 4
41 | 0 0 0 0 1 | 1
Total | 2 8 30 18 11 | 69
This is the result: (I'm not sure if the tab formatting will withstand
the eMailing process)
Mileage Repair Record 1978
(mpg) 1 2 3 4 5 Total
12 0 0 2 0 0 2
14 0 1 2 2 0 5
15 0 0 1 1 0 2
16 0 1 2 1 0 4
41 0 0 0 0 1 1
Total 2 8 30 18 11 69
(This can be directly pasted into Excel, Word, WordPerfect to create a table)
- - -
I've been doing some thinking around how SMCL might be employed to
handle tabular output. However, the basic nature of output would have
to be changed. Remember, SMCL outputs to the results window only in
line mode and each line is independent of previous or following lines.
In paragraph mode, SMCL can affect the formatting of subsequent lines
and has {p2colset # # # #} which can be used to create a two column
I can envisage an extension to SMCL that would allow a paragraph-like
mode for results and some new commands that set up the cellular
structure of a table. Imagine something like:
di "{tabon:{col 15:%15s}{dup 3:{col 8:%6.0g}}}"
to set up the cellular structure for a table. {tabon: opens tabular
mode and then the {col} command specifies cell width and format, aided
by {dup} to set up multiple identical columns.
di "{hdr:Variable{c |}||{span 3:Columns}}"
di "{hdr:`varname'{c |}||col 1||col 2||col 3||}"
di "{tabline}"
//imagine a forvalues or foreach loop here
di "{`level`i''{c |}||`val1_`i''||`val2_`i''||`val3_`i''||}
di "{taboff}"
{hdr} would overrule the numeric cell formats when writing header rows
and {tabline} would create a horizontal rule (perhaps even
intelligently joining with box drawing characters on adjacent lines)
and so on to create a hypothetical table:
Variable | Columns
Foreign | Col 1 Col 2 Col 3
Domestic | 17.3 136.2 0.4
Foreign | 23.2 95.0 1.8
This uses familiar SMCL syntax construction with || as a column
delimiter. One nice thing is that, once set up, there is a separation
of presentation and content in that one only need generate the cell
values without need for additional formatting. I've included the
box-drawing {c |} in the SMCL, but perhaps the linedrawing around
cells could be part of the initial table setup.
Of course, the devil is always in the details. Syntax and internal
consistency checking, handling overflow, creating defaults, checking
for proper closing of the {tabon} statement and so on would all be
Note that in this model, the cellular structure would be explicit and
Stata would "know" the alignment of the column tabs and be able to
retain them in any copy table process.
I really hope the development team keeps this high on the wish list.
There are a number of table languages out there (HTML TEX/LATEX) so
the structural terms and relationships of the components are well
know. The trick is to turn it into a familiar syntax parseable within
an expanded SMCL engine.
Enough of my rambling, but just let me finish by saying I appreciate
that Statacorp is monitoring this and jumped into the discussion.

Door-to-Door Alarm Sales Rep Dupes Iowa Couple
Dubuque Police believe an alarm sales representative used deceptive sales practices to reach his quota to sell security systems.
By SSI Staff · June 9, 2014
DUBUQUE, Iowa — Police here are warning residents of a security scam after a door-to-door alarm company salesman duped a local couple into receiving a bogus upgrade.
In mid-March, a security alarm sales representative came to the couple's door, saying that his company had "bought out" the fir the couple was currently using for their home security system. He informed the family that a service technician would need to come by and replace the security system's main panel and install a new fire sensor, KWWL.com reports.
During the upgrade, the couple did not notice anything suspicious until they began receiving two bills — one from their old security company and one from the new one.
Authorities said both company were legitimate and that neither had bought out the other one.
A department press release noted that the private contractor with the second company was likely trying to reach a number or quota for systems sold and decided to use deceptive sales practices to make the sale.
Dubuque Police also urged residents to contact their current service provider to verify whether or not a company has been sold before agreeing to anything.

"The worst thing a man can ever do is kiss me on the first date." That's ok Halle, we still have your films.
It's hard to believe that former fashion model turned A-List, sexy celebrity Halle Berry is 46. Has it really been that long? Before entering the Hollywood spotlight in 1991, Halle Berry was touring the beauty pageant circuit, finishing as the first runner-up in the Miss USA Pageant in 1986 as well as sixth place in the Miss World Pageant in the same year. Five years later she got a small role in a family film, and the rest is history.
She's come a long way since then and has played some pretty pivotal roles in films, like Storm in the X-Men movies, Catwoman in the hit (just kidding) film Catwoman and Jinx in Die Another Day. And who can forget her very racy scene in the Academy Award–winning film Monster's Ball. When that film came out we almost wore our DVD out rewatching (NSFW) that scene over and over. Monster's Ball isn't the only film she appeared nude in; she also stripped down in the thriller Gothika, Frankie & Alice, Things We Lost in the Fire, Swordfish, and Introducing Dorothy Dandridge. That list should give you enough sexy scenes to watch when you're feeling the need to indulge in some Halle Berry alone time.
Monster's Ball
This film is definitely Halle Berry's most intense role to date and also has the sexiest scenes she's ever performed.
You may or may not like this one, but any film with Halle Berry stripping down to her bra and underwear is a good one in our books.
Die Another Day
Only the sexiest women get to play alongside 007, and we think Halle Berry deserved her role in the 2002 film Die Another Day.
The film may have won a ton of Razzy awards, but you can't deny that Halle Berry looks drop-dead sexy in that tight Catwoman outfit.

Helping young people understand financial issues is important, as younger generations are likely to face ever-increasingly complex financial products and services. They are also more likely to have to bear more financial risks in adulthood than their parents, especially in saving, planning for retirement and covering their healthcare needs.
In many countries, at around the age of 15 to 18, young people face one of their most important financial decisions: whether to invest in college or higher education. The gap in wages between college and non-college educated workers has widened in many economies. At the same time, the cost of a university education is rising in many countries. Figures published in March 2010 in the UK suggest that half of all UK students are expected to leave university owing around €18,000.
The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) tested 15 year-olds on their knowledge of personal finances and ability to apply it to their financial problems. This is the first large-scale international study to assess the financial literacy of young people.
Countries covered - Sixty-five countries or regions took part in the PISA test on mathematics literacy. Students from 18 of these countries also tackled problems related to financial literacy: Australia, Belgium (Flemish Community), Shanghai-China, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Israel, Italy, Latvia, New Zealand, Poland, Russia, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain and United States.
Comparing levels of financial literacy across countries will make it possible to see which countries perform best and begin to identify effective national strategies and good practices.

Kristen Stewart has made herself a home wrecker, and is not special in the eyes of her fans anymore.
She has made herself into a common cheap little Hollywood WHORE who has lost a man who adored her, was loyal to her and would have married her.
Kristen Stewart will fade with age like every other little trashy Hollywood starlet, she is young now, but with age, her films will fail and Hollywood will kick her to the curb.
She could have spent her life happily ever after with Robert Pattinson, but instead of showing him the same loyalty that he showed her, she blatently betrayed him, and now she is reaping the harsh consequences of her thoughtless cruel and heartless actions. And she certainly deserves it; however what she does NOT deserve is a man like Robert Pattinson.
He should dump her and find himself a woman who truly loves him; not one that is sorry only because she was caught with her grubby little hand in the cookie jar. If she had not been caught being unfaithful to Robert Pattinson, she would never have told him and she would have continued to carry out her sick love affair with a married man who has fathered two children.
It is better that Robert Pattinson found out now what kind of woman Kristen Stewart really is, instead of finding out later after he would have married her. Kristen Stewart is nothing more than a cheap little tramp.

You live in a perfect and flawless world ha? you have never made a mistake that your sorry for and want so badly to make it right?
She made a mistake that she with all her heart regrets and it is breaking her heart in tiny pieces.
She deserves to be for given and she should be, I hope that Robert Pattison thinks more of her
than her so called fans who now hate her. I am a big fan of the both of them and I do hope that
he will forgive her and will love her again they make a beautiful couple in spite of what you and every else might think.


text: I have ants near my bee hives. I am having trouble finding the ant nest. Has anyone had experience using the granular ant poision near the bee hive? I was thinking of sprinkling it around the legs so the ants would find it and bring it back to their nest, hopefully killing them. Would the bees pick up the granular ant poision? I don't want to take any chances, so am asking for anyones experience.

THC-Hawks? Pot puns pack this Super Bowl
SEATTLE - This year's Super Bowl is offering a twist on a sporting event better known for its beer commercials.
That's because the matchup between the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks is also a matchup between the two states that have legalized marijuana.
Some fans have joked that a cannabis-friendly musician like Willie Nelson should sing the national anthem. A few guys from Denver are hawking "Stoner Bowl" T-shirts online.
And a company called of My 420 Tours is offering a three-night package that includes tours of Denver pot shops, free samples and a private viewing party for the game.
Derek Franklin, the president of the Washington Association for Substance Abuse and Violence Prevention, says he's rooting for the Seahawks, but he worries about the message all the joking sends to children.

College of Business grant to assist fire department
By Wendy Frost
Director of Communications, College of Business
(Sept. 8, 2006)--Three College of Business researchers in the Department of Information Systems and Technology Management received a $95,000 grant from the Bureau of Fire Research Laboratories Extramural Fire Research Program to develop a biometric integration system for San Antonio fire fighters.
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
The project led by Jan Clark, professor of information systems, began this summer and will conclude next year. Additional investigators are information technology doctoral students Darrell Carpenter and Alexander McLeod.
"The primary objective of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility of integrating biometric technology with a fireground accountability system," said Clark . "We are also going to study the impact of biometric technology implementation as it relates to firefighter privacy concerns."
Milestones of the grant include administering pre- and post-treatment surveys to measure initial firefighter attitudes toward privacy and their willingness to accept a biometric authentication system; installing, testing and debugging hardware and software devices; training the participants in the usage of the system; integrating the biometric verification data with fire information systems; and publishing the results.
"The biometric system will utilize digital fingerprint readers to 'log' each firefighter electronically into an incident scene, which will allow incident commanders to better track who is on the scene, and what skills and capabilities they possess,' said Carpenter.
Currently fire fighters use a manual system to check in at the command post upon arriving at an emergency scene. "That system presents a burden for the incident commander and lacks individual identity verification," said McLeod, who previously worked for 28 years with the SAFD as a paramedic/fire fighter. "These problems are of great concern at large-scale emergencies."
The pilot study will be conducted at Fire Station 11, near the UTSA Downtown Campus. If the project is successful it will roll out to the entire department of 1,200 personnel at 50 stations.
"We look forward to working with UTSA on this initiative to improve fire service efficiency and effectiveness," said Deputy Chief Rodney Hitzfelder.
"This grant allows us to participate in meaningful and important research," said McLeod. "We plan on publishing our findings and presenting at national conferences. It also allows us to use this knowledge to benefit the City of San Antonio and our local fire department."

Motorstorm RC Complete Edition - Missing DLC
This problem is described in more detail on the PSN General Discussion forum.
Basically the problem was this: if you purchased the Motorstorm RC Complete Edition last month you did not get all the DLC that was advertised. After weeks of back and forth with email support (where they suggested that I power cycle my network devices), I finally got a message in my PSN inbox that they were aware of the problem and were going to fix it. 2-3 days later I got another message in my PSN inbox. This one included a 12-digit code to obtain the (hopefully) more complete edition of Motorstorm RC Complete Edition. Problem is...when you try to redeem the code you get an error. No codes or any thing...the message jsut says "An error has occurred".
This problem has been going on for over a month and it is an exercise in frustration to get any sort of help. Where do we turn to next?
Re: Motorstorm RC Complete Edition - Missing DLC
Is the email support gone? I do not see it on the "contact us" page. I really don't have the time to hang on the phone for hours just to try to expalin this to someone. It seems like we are getting no help on this forum either. I am really frustrated over this whole experience.

The boy was killed on Tuesday in Helmand province. When asked about the incident, Afghan president Hamid Karzai said the following,
"A seven-year-old boy cannot be a spy. A seven-year-old boy cannot be anything but a seven-year-old boy. And therefore, hanging or shooting to kill a seven-year-old, regardless of whatever reason one would give for it, is a crime against humanity."While the so-called spy label has been used as a reason by the Taliban, Daoud Ahmadi, the spokesman for the provincial governor of Helmand province, gave another. He said that the killing happened days after the boy's grandfather, Abdul Woodod Alokozai, spoke out against militants in their home village.
"His grandfather is a tribal elder in the village and the village is under the control of the Taliban. His grandfather said some good things about the government and he formed a small group of people to stand against the Taliban. That's why the Taliban killed his grandson in revenge."Watch a video report.

Firstly, County Donegal is the northern most county of the republic and is the most isolated and remote = loads of rolling green hills dotted with white sheep and a spectacularly rugged and untouched coastline with sharp cliffs that pierce into the icy blue ocean below (oh my god, I swallowed a James Joyce novel). It's grand ta be shure!
And secondly, I have known Karl since grade one, and along with all our other great Phalaborwa muckers, have been through Fauna Park and Frans du Toit together and lived to tell the tale - of which there are plenty and all too sordid to recap here
After dumping our kit at the B&B in Letterkenny and collecting the Maltesers, we went for a drive around the northern peninsula of Donegal - all along the coastline, which was really pretty - even though the weather had decided that after 6 weeks of glorious sunshine, enough was enough, and brought in the rain every so often. We stopped off at beaches along the way and found some cool ruins to tromp around in. We even drove through the town of Muff - Believe it, cos it's true (the picture outside the pub in Muff is a classic). We eventually ended up at Malin Head - the northern most point of Ireland. While all the FT's (' Feckin Tourist '- thanks Karl) shuffled off to the eastern side of the point, Karl used his 'Rhodesian bush instincts' and mobile phone with digital compass to find North and take us to the true "Northern Most Part of Ireland". In true African style, we decided that the only way to mark this momentous occasion and celebrate the serene natural beauty of the place was to deface it with some natural graffiti! And while there was a huge sign on the grass embankment to the east of Malin head which read EIRE in stone letters - we drew a huge SAFFA sign right at the proper 'tip' of Ireland
That night we ventured into Letterkenny and headed for the high street for a pint, or 50. The rest of the evening is a tad blurry to say the least, but all I do remember is going to a club that was pretty much like Catagoons in Phalaborwa - full of rough, drunk farmer types and good looking girls wired off their faces on disco biscuits. So no, Letterkenny was not really impressive - neither was a 20 Guinness hangover.
Sunday was spent cruising along the southern peninsula, and we hiked around some really spectacular cliffs with amazing views out into the frigid deep blue of the Atlantic. We had lunch in Ardara, a small little dorpie in the middle of nowhere, and wanted to try and catch the traditional Irish music festival that was going on there. We found an amazing pub called Nancy's, which has been around for about 300 years - so it's one of those old, wonky funny little pubs with low, crooked doorways and oodles of charm and history. The locals were popping in and out for a quick jamming session on the fiddle and violin every so often when the mood took them, and we annexed a corner of the pub and watched and listened as the locals went about their daily kuier! It was absolutely awesome! The Irish are an amazing bunch of people with an indescribable desire to have a good time and enjoy the craic! We told many stories that night and drank many many Guinness's and Jameson's in the gloom of the pub - and with the rowdy sound of the bar and the local musicians grinding out classic Irish tunes, I could not have been more content! Good mates, good places, good times - isn't that what this whole 'life' story is about?!
Lekker days!

COUPLING Williamson and Rhoads in rehearsal for Trinity's Shooting Star.
The little two-person play that Trinity Repertory Company is staging in the intimate downstairs theater got its title from the poignant Bob Dylan song "Shooting Star." As in:
Guess it's too late to say the things to you
That you need to hear me say
Saw a shooting star tonight slip away
That was on a 1989 release (Oh Mercy), written when the bard was 46, about the age of two wistful ex-lovers in Steven Dietz's play, which has its share of implied regrets. Twenty-five years after parting, the two in the play meet in an anonymous airport, during an appropriately bleak snowstorm, forced to spend time together and compelled to examine the might-have-been.
The form-fit nature of the theme extended to why Trinity company actor Fred Sullivan took it on to direct, after artistic director Curt Columbus asked him to read it.
"I really liked it because -- and this is going to sound crazy -- because of Facebook," Sullivan says. "Two months before I read this, I got on Facebook, and all these people from my college showed up that I hadn't talked to in 25 years. And suddenly we're having conversations -- typing, but having conversations -- that picked up from 25 years ago."
He is speaking in the top floor rehearsal hall before the first read-through of the play. The actors who will be performing the roles of Elena and Reed, Nance Williamson and Kurt Rhoads, are sitting at the table, smiling in mute agreement.
"So much of it," he continues, referring to the script, "kind of made my chest ache?" The rising inflection was an inquiry to his listeners, about whether we reacted similarly. "I mean, it's laugh out loud funny, and it's really charming, and I like the relationship very much. But this is so brave . . . complex, and dark."
At first, it was obvious to him that he and veteran company actor Phyllis Kay would be perfect for the roles. As he put it, the play is so much about interpersonal chemistry, and he and Kay have been couples onstage for 18 years, from Angels in America to Antigone.
He turns to Rhoads and Williamson and points out that they have been together, both offstage and onstage -- in 54 plays -- for the 25 years of their marriage. "So, chemistry? I said, 'Well, if we can just dip the ladle into that, we're gonna be in great shape.' "
Sullivan says that playwright agrees. "[Dietz] wrote yesterday, 'Tell those troublemakers I love them.' "
Williamson in particular is choice for the role, because she read the parts in its first workshop, in March of last year at the Denver Theater Center. Though she doesn't claim any credit, she had a hand in helping to shape her character. It's unavoidable, she does say, that with the initial actors inhabiting a new play, "it kind of gets like a glove or a shrink-wrap a little bit.
"Steven's dialogue," she adds, "always feels to me like a glove anyway. You put it on and it feels really natural."
Shooting Star may technically be a romantic comedy, but it delves more deeply into the nature of relationships than most do. As Williamson puts it, the play "has some balls."
