On board second placed Singapore skipper, Ben Bowley, has been reinforcing that point after losing just three miles to third placed Welcome to Yorkshire.
'We called a morning crew meeting where I was able to give a little pep talk about the importance of keeping the focus, especially with regard to helming. The wind had been shifting around ten or 15 degrees back and forth throughout the day and therefore required constant monitoring of the three magic numbers: course over ground (COG), boat speed and apparent wind angle, to ensure that we were making the most of any lifts and getting good speed still in the headers.
'It's often hard to remain focused on a long race when the last time you caught sight of your competitors was two weeks ago! For this reason we have a small laminated sheet that is just inside the companionway cuddy with 'Boat Ahead' and 'Boat Behind' mileages on it. There were a magic few moments this race when the 'Boat Ahead' box proudly stated 'none' and I think that has given everyone a real desire to get that there again. Some of the crew talk about how this race has brought out a competitive streak within them that they never knew existed.
'We had a couple of visitors on board last night in the form of King Neptune and Davy Jones. We made them as welcome as we could and thanked them with many offerings for allowing us to enter their realm as we passed from the Northern to the Southern Hemisphere. Neptune himself seemed to have been spending a lot of time in Australia recently as he had picked up a fairly strong accent and could not refrain from swearing like a true sailor.'
Welcome to Yorkshire crossed the line just ahead of Singapore by virtue of their more southerly position but they've yet to have a visit from the King of the Oceans.
'Because it was getting dark King Neptune decided not to make an appearance at the crossing but has informed us he will do so today, which we are all looking forward to,' reports Rupert Dean, the skipper of the English boat. 'We celebrated the occasion privately as a happy team, with good food and a tipple of plum gin, made exclusively for the occasion by the skipper at his home in Somerset.
'Due to the south east trades blowing more southerly than anticipated, we've been sailing a little more to windward of the rhumb line in comparison to Gold Coast Australia and Singapore. This is to put windward miles in the bank and to avoid ending up too close to the Brazilian coast where an adverse counter-current might be experienced. This tactic also enables us to cover better the yachts behind us and to the east which have freer reaching conditions.
'Our windward track explains the miles we have been losing to Gold Coast and Singapore recently. It's a tactical decision and once we bear away a little, better speed should be restored.'
While we were studying the wind forecasts in the Race Office this week the first mutterings of 'the rich are going to get richer' were heard and the current situation perfectly illustrates how this prediction is playing out. The leading three boats were first to wriggle free of the Doldrums and get into a more favourable weather system while the other seven have been frustrated and pinned back by a wind direction that is not changing as forecast. Consequently the gap between leaders and chasers is growing. At 1800 yesterday there were 258 miles between first and fourth, at 0600 today that had grown to 304 and to 320 by 0900.
The frustration is evident in Ian Conchie's report to the race office this morning.
'Another day spent slowly heading south west,' the Qingdao skipper says. 'Despite what the weather files keep promising the wind refuses to back so we continue to make slow progress. This is more frustrating as the boats ahead of us are making good progress as they have cleared these light winds. The question still remains: what will the wind do?'
Juan Coetzer, skipper of Geraldton Western Australia, which had been in tenth place, says his team took their chance as soon as they saw it and have gained ground.
He says, 'The wind swung around to the south early morning yesterday. This was our chance so we tacked. Our course is OK, but we are waiting for this wind to go south east. Once this happens we will be smiling. Over the last 24 hours we have improved one place – next, number eight.'
'The midnight position report brought us long waited news about our progress,' says Visit Finland's navigator, Tomi Lintonen. 'First, we had averaged 7.7 knots towards Rio. That is a huge relief compared to the situation 24 hours ago; at that time we were approaching our destination at the speed of 3.8 knots. Secondly, we had moved up one position on the list – something the crew have worked hard to achieve. We will do our best to please our large fan club during the coming 24 hours!'
The team is making good on its promise – by the 0900 position report they had moved up to sixth place.
With just 80 miles between fourth and eighth place there is every reason to put aside the frustrations and race hard towards the finish line in the hunt for the greater points tally, something that is recognised by De Lage Landen's skipper, Mat Booth.
'My call for wind in yesterday's update seems to have come through,' he says. 'We're still beating but in a fresh 20 knots which has made our progress towards our waypoint off Recife, Brazil, much better. The leading three look set for the home run but it's never over, however 300+ nautical miles is hard to make back in a matched fleet. There are still points to make and it's looking like an interesting race for the other half of the fleet.'
Derry-Londonderry is also in the middle of the chasing pack. Yesterday they were entertained by a pod of 40 or so dolphins who played with the boat for an hour, easing some of the frustration of watching the leaders draw further away.
'Still we wait for a change in wind direction to send us towards Rio – at the moment it is a choice between the Amazon on one tack and Namibia on the other. This doesn't seem fair to have good steady winds but completely in the wrong direction at the same time as watching other boats ahead sail off in different breeze towards Rio,' explains skipper, Mark Light. 'But then, if this Clipper Race was easy it quite simply wouldn't exist, so onward we push until the wind decides to show us her hand.'
'Does the Equator really exist?' asks New York skipper, Gareth Glover.
'Over the past few days New York has been working her way south west towards the Equator. At the start of each watch we ask, 'are we nearly there yet?' but, alas, the same response keeps coming back. Un-forecast light winds have continued to slow our progress. Some amongst us are now doubting whether it truly exists. Do your ever reach the Equator or do you just 'pop up' at five degrees south at some point soon? I guess we will find out soon enough.
'The light winds have allowed other boats to gain on us and, as such, we are looking forward to the easterly trade winds which will finally allow us to get the kite up, secure our position and put a challenge into catching the leaders.'
Edinburgh Inspiring Capital's crew are also putting their all into climbing up the leader board, riding every wind shift in a bid to gain ground on the boats up ahead.
'We are attempting to make the most of the squalls and the higher wind strengths they bring by riding around the edges of them and utilising the stronger winds, a strategy not for the faint of heart but one which has great results if you tuck your skirts in and hold your nerve. The crew are loving it but let the skipper do the driving to ensure we ride along the edge as close as we dare but not too close!' describes skipper, Gordon Reid.
'It was all going rather well until we drove straight into the middle of an enormous squall. The rain was torrential and eventually the wind switched off but we made the most of it by having deck showers en masse.'
There's a silver lining to every cloud.
As well as the opportunity to move up the rankings for a greater number of points there is one more bonus point on offer for this race in the Ocean Sprint. This is a time trial between the latitudes of five and ten degrees south where the quickest yacht to cover the distance will be awarded one point.
'We're going to do everything possible to ensure the nitrox is charged and the pedal is to the metal when we hit the magic five,' says Richard. 'The crew are revived, the boat is dry (well, reasonably) and now it's time for Gold Coast Australia to make some serious ground towards Rio.'

4th January 2010: Dublin-based energy company Airtricity, the No.1 supplier of cheaper and greener electricity to domestic and commercial customers in Ireland, has today (Monday 4th January 2010) renamed its renewable energy development business as SSE Renewables. A leading European developer of renewable energy, SSE Renewables will be headquartered at Airtricity House in Sandyford, Dublin, and will employ over 200 staff out of 17 office locations throughout Europe.
The company, which supplies green energy to Ireland's greenest energy supplier Airtricity, is the country's largest renewable energy developer and has invested over €800 million to date in renewable energy generation across the island. The company will invest a further €120 million in renewables in Ireland in the financial year 2010/2011. SSE Renewables will be responsible for the development and construction of SSE (Scottish and Southern Energy plc) Group's renewable energy projects across Ireland, Great Britain and Continental Europe.
SSE is the leading generator of renewable energy in Ireland and the UK, with over 2,200MW of renewable electricity generation capacity (wind, hydro, and biomass) and a portfolio of over 15,000MW of renewable energy projects in construction, with consent or in development. The electricity generated by SSE's renewable generation capacity in Ireland and the UK powers SSE's supply brands including Airtricity in Ireland and Atlantic Electric and Gas, Scottish Hydro, Southern Electric, and Swalec in Great Britain.
SSE Renewables will develop almost 2,500MW of consented offshore wind farm projects in Ireland (Arklow Bank), Great Britain, the Netherlands, and Germany, as well as almost 1,500MW of consented onshore wind farm capacity in Ireland, Great Britain, Sweden, Portugal and Italy. In addition to onshore and offshore wind, the new company will be responsible for the exploration and development of other renewables technologies including hydro, marine, biomass, and solar.
As the largest renewable energy developer in Ireland, Airtricity's renewable energy development business has invested over €800 million to date into greener energy generation across the island, with a further €120 million planned in the financial year
2010/2011. The company has a total of over 800MW of onshore and offshore wind farm capacity in Ireland in construction or with consent for development, and is progressing a significant pipeline. SSE operates 19 onshore wind farms in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland generating over 400MW of electricity to power greener energy supplier Airtricity.
Airtricity is the No.1 supplier of cheaper and greener electricity to domestic and commercial customers in Ireland. Airtricity now supplies 150,000 electricity customers in Ireland, enjoying savings of up to 13% on ESB unit rates, making it the third largest energy supply brand in the country.
Airtricity's renewables development and energy supply businesses became part of SSE in February 2008 when the Perth, Scotland-based company acquired the Irish business.

In the middle of the Peruvian Amazon, a battle against malaria – the second largest killer of people worldwide – will be undertaken by an international team of researchers led by tropical disease specialist Joseph Vinetz, M.D., from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine. The team will also study a variety of other tropical infectious diseases endemic to the area.
With $750,000 from the Fogarty Training Grant for Global Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Vinetz and the grant's Peruvian co-director, Eduardo Gotuzzo, director of the Tropical Medicine Institute, Universidad Paruana Cayetano Heredia, will oversee a training program and research projects, both at the program headquarters in Iquitos, Peru, and at UCSD, where selected Peruvian researchers will receive advance medical-research training.
In spite of its virtual elimination in the United States, malaria is still the cause of approximately 1.5 million deaths a year and 300 million infections. Only tuberculosis cases outnumber malaria, and patients with HIV/AIDS rank third.
U.S. travelers to malaria-infested areas are susceptible to the disease and are warned by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to take anti-malarial medication. Also at risk are U.S. soldiers stationed around the world and the U.S. military is working on drugs and vaccines to try to prevent the disease in its overseas soldiers.
In recent years, there's been an alarming increase in malaria cases in both the developed and developing world, partly due to an increasing resistance to chloroquine, the most common anti-malaria drug. The world areas most impacted by the disease are South America, Asia and Africa.
These are all reasons that Vinetz has chosen malaria and another infectious disease called leptospirosis as his areas of specialty. His colleagues are internationally recognized experts who study intestinal parasitic and bacterial infections, bioterrorism diseases such as brucellosis, chronic disfiguring skin diseases such as leishmaniasis, and viruses transmitted by mosquitos. Beginning this summer, Vinetz will lead the international team of physicians from the U.S. and Peru in the NIH-funded training program titled "Endemic Infectious Diseases in the Peruvian Amazon." Although focusing primarily on malaria, the program will also include other infectious diseases, such as leptospirosis, that impact disadvantaged populations in developing countries. The overall goals are to enhance research capacity in Peru, to establish research connections between UCSD and Peru to expand opportunities for biomedical research, and, overall, to create a model of multidisciplinary research in developing countries.
Epidemic malaria has rapidly emerged in the Peruvian Amazon region, increasing 50-fold between 1992-97. According to the CDC, Peru reports the second highest number of malaria cases in South America, after Brazil. The symptoms of malaria include fever and flu-like illness with chills, headache, muscle aches and fatigue. If not promptly treated, the disease may cause kidney failure, coma and death.
Leptospirosis is a bacterial disease transmitted from infected mammals (wild and domestic) to humans via infected urine that may be in water. It is primarily an occupational disease that affects farmers, veterinarians and sewer workers or others whose work involves animal contact. In humans, it causes a wide range of symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, muscle aches and abdominal distress. If the disease is not treated, the patient may develop kidney damage, meningitis, liver failure and respiratory distress.
"The overall goal of our UCSD program is to enhance Peruvian research capacity in all facets of biomedical research, including research in the lab, in the field and with human subjects. We'll also cover research ethics and health economics," Vinetz said. "Primarily, we'll be in the Peruvian Amazon, training local researchers, physicians, biologists, nurses, and students wishing to pursue doctorates."
Although the Peruvian people are motivated to research the infectious diseases in their region, there is a dearth of expertise and investment in people and physical infractructure, Vinetz noted. "We'll be able to help them become self-sufficient."
Peruvians who will serve as mentors for the NIH-funded program include Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia faculty Humberto Guerra, Jorge Arevalo, and Alejandro Llanos. Additional Peruvians are Graciela Meza, Universidad de Las Amazonas del Peru and Hermann Silva, Hospital Apoyo de Iquitos. UCSD faculty who will participate in the training project include C. Hoyt Bleakley, Joshua Fierer, Donald Guiney, Frances Gillin, Michael Kalichman, Lynette Corbeil, Sharon Reed, Victor Nizet and Monica Diaz.
Gary Klimpel, Robert Tesh and Scott Weaver from the University of Texas Medical Branch, and Margaret Kosek, Johns Hopkins University, will round out the project team. Peruvian physicians already at UCSD training include Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia medical graduates Jessica Ricaldi, who will be entering the Molecular Pathology doctoral program in the fall of 2004, and Christian Ganoza, both of whom will be returning to Peru to continue their scientific careers once they complete their training.
Prior to joining the UCSD faculty as an associate professor in 2002, Vinetz was an associate professor with the World Health Organization's Collaborating Center for Tropical Diseases at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. His past experience also includes clinical training in internal medicine and infectious diseases at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and as a Howard Hughes Physician Postdoctoral Fellow in the Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases at the National Institutes of Health.
Vinetz first visited Peru in 1998 and was a participant in the Gorgas Expert Course in Tropical Medicine in 2001, in which he now teaches. Now, he spends about two months a year in his state-of-the-art laboratory in Iquitos, Peru, where he has a group of 20 Peruvian researchers and collaborators. Vinetz' malaria studies focuses on the molecular, cellular and biochemical mechanisms by which the malaria parasite (the ookinete) invades the mosquito mid-gut. His long-term goal is to develop strategies of blocking malaria transmission. In his research on leptospirosis, Vinetz and his team want to know why some patients develop only unapparent infection or mild disease, while others develop jaundice, renal failure, hemorrhage, meningitis and/or heart failure. Their studies range from epidemiology and ecology to immunology to molecular pathogenesis.

'You'll lose but don't lose faith'
Denmark's Old Firm connection has delivered words of hope and warning to Berti Vogts' Scotland.
Rangers striker Peter Lovenkrands aims to sink the Scots on Wednesday - so he can prolong his stay in their country.
But former Celtic midfielder Morten Wieghorst has insisted that there is a lot of young talent coming through that will eventually improve Scotland's fortunes.
Lovenkrands expects to soon begin contract talks with his Scottish Premier League club.
Rangers will be anxious to keep him, especially after his two-goal display in their 4-2 win over Hibernian on Sunday.
He would love to do the same for Denmark against Scotland at Hampden.
"It's been a good start to the season for me and I suppose it's good that my new contact talks are coming up," he said.
"A good performance against Scotland on Wednesday won't harm my chances either.
"I've been talking to my agent after the game and we'll take it from there.
"I don't know when the meeting with the club will be, but I'll find out soon enough."
Lovenkrands' last outing at Hampden saw him score a late winner for Rangers in their dramatic 3-2 Scottish Cup final victory over Celtic last season.
"I obviously have a lot of good memories from Hampden," he said.
"It's a place where I haven't lost yet, but we have a young team and so do Scotland, so the game can go either way.
"But hopefully we can get on top and prove we are a better team."
Wieghorst thought he had played his last game at Hampden when he moved back home to join Brondby.
But, retaining his Glasgow twang, he is back as a late call-up to the Danish squad and has urged the Scottish fans and media to take a longer-term view of manager Vogts' progress.
"Scotland has a lot of good youngsters, but they need time and I hope the manager and the young players will be given that time," said Wieghorst.
"I know everyone in Scotland will get football fever once the European qualifiers start.
"But, to be honest, the best thing the fans and media could do would be to write off their chances of getting through them.
"Even if they do miss out then they shouldn't call for the manager's head and they should stick with the younger players coming through.
"If you play the young players in the qualifiers then, even if they get beaten in some games, the experience will stand them in good stead for the next World Cup."

Style: 34712885 Colour:
Sleek, industrial ankle boot with a rubber wedge. Waterproof oiled suede uppers with soft textile lining, EVA molded footbeds, and foam inserts at the heels make these the perfect weather boots. By Sorel Founded in 1962, Sorel brings the spirit and heritage of expertly crafted boots to the modern world of fashion where they inspire a new generation of doers, builders, and creators.
Just received these great pair of booties today. Very comfortable indeed, however, they are a bit narrow in the front, but they do run big probably a half size more. I am a normal 6.5 for shoes. I ordered size 6 and they fit perfectly. I have very narrow feet so I don't feel they are tight on me. I must say they are very stylish and would go with any outfits.

It's just a drill
It was a mock scene not anyone — paramedics, firefighters, law enforcement or average citizen — would want to see in real life.
The mock scene is a Delta CFJ 200 full of passengers with 4,000 pounds of fuel coming in for an emergency landing at the Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport. Due to smoke, the pilot makes a hard landing. The right main gear tires blow out and the aircraft leaves the runway. The other landing gear also collapses and the aircraft comes to a stop alongside the runway with smoke and fire coming from the craft.
The pilots evacuate the aircraft through the flight deck window. A passenger has set fire to the lavatory and attacked the flight attendant. All passengers suffer from smoke inhalation. The flight attendant has a head injury and has been stabbed.
Time is 5:03 p.m. Monday. Sirens and lights are coming from every direction. Brainerd Police and the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office secure the main entrance of the airport, the perimeter fences and the scene exit gate by the DNR Tanker Base.
Brainerd Fire Department trucks and North Memorial ambulances travel down the runway to the airport's fire truck that is already on scene of the crash.
Upon arrival firefighters quickly worked on extinguishing the fire, while at the same time rescuing the victims inside the jet. The paramedics race to treat the many victims who were thrown from the jet, lying in the open brown field next to the runway.
In the end, seven are dead, 21 injured.
In all close to 100 people from the Brainerd airport, Brainerd fire and police, North Ambulance, Airline staff, sheriff's office, Crow Wing County Emergency Management, Essentia Health St. Joseph's Medical Center, Cuyuna Regional Medical Center, Airmotive Enterprises, American Red Cross and Civil Air Patrol took part in the training drill.
The drill was created to look like a real crash by using a fire simulator training airplane.
Jerry Huberty and Wade Boyat of ARFF Specialists of Hermantown travel throughout the Midwest with the fire simulator to help communities train for airplane fire disasters. Huberty said the simulator was built as close as possible to resemble a real airplane crash. The crash included adult and infant mannequins.
"The mock drill was an excellent way to test the 800 Mhz radio system," Brainerd Fire Chief Kevin Stunek said. "This was a coordinated effort between all the emergency, law enforcement entities. This worked well for our first actual test. Not only did we test the new radios, but we also worked on fire fighting and emergency skills.
"If this was a real event we would have called in mutual aid from area fire departments."
The new radio system uses digital technology and allows police, fire and emergency personnel to communicate on any number of channels across the area, state, region and even the country. Cass County is already using the new system and Crow Wing County will start using the 800-megahertz system on Monday, which includes the Brainerd Fire Department.
"This (training) has opened our eyes with using the new radio system," Brainerd Police Deputy Chief Mike Bestul said. "This is a good learning tool, but we still have a way to go. Every situation is unique and there will be some challenges. But the drill went well and all the entities worked together to learn how the radio works that will help us be more proficient."
Dave Cox, Brainerd Battalion Chief who was in charge of the drill operation, said the drill went well with it being their first time using the new digital radios. The airplane simulator also helped the drill seem more real, said Cox, which in return helped with getting the emergency responders adrenaline going.
Matt Cordes, a Brainerd firefighter and North Memorial supervisor, said the new radios made it easier for him to communicate with the paramedics, firefighters and everyone involved in the drill. Cordes said training with all the entities involved is important so every department knows what the other department is doing.
"We all work well together," said Cordes.
Cordes said the new radios make communication easier and better and it also will improve patient care. Cordes said when he is in the helicopter in Fargo, N.D., for instance, and he gets a call to go to another city to pick up a patient, he can go straight there. He said before he would have had to land the helicopter first before traveling to the next call.
Mike Arnold, training officer at the airport with the firefighting maintenance department, agreed with the others that the drill was a great opportunity to see how all the agencies work together and a great chance to work on using the new radios.
Brian Pisarek, Aitkin Fire Chief and president of the Cuyuna Range Firefighters Association, was on scene to observe the training. Pisarek said Aitkin County is not ready for the 800 Mhz radio yet, but they will be.
"We're learning a lot from Crow Wing County," said Pisarek.

During his State of the Union Address on Wednesday, Jan. 27, President Barack Obama addressed the economy, saying, "The worst of the storm has passed."
But not everyone agrees with that assessment. Some people say it's too early to tell, while others argue the worst of the storm is still ahead for the nation.
Donna Silva, chairman of the Brunswick County Democratic Party, said, "It's really difficult to judge," whether the worst has passed.
Beacon reporter Caroline Curran interviewed U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre, D-N.C., about President Barack Obama's State of the Union address, the economy, jobs in North Carolina and the status of healthcare reform in Congress.
In his State of the Union address, Obama said, "The worst of the storm has passed," referring to the economy.
As for whether the worst of the economic storm has passed, "Not quite," McIntyre said.
Waccamaw School will present the Disney musical "The Aristocats" at 7:30 p.m. this Friday and Saturday at Odell Williamson Auditorium.
The inaugural middle school/junior varsity wrestling tournament took place Saturday at West Brunswick High School.
The purpose was to give more experience young wrestlers and to help prepare them for high school varsity wrestling careers.
Teams from Leland, Cedar Grove, South and Shallotte middle schools competed.
Special awards were given to the lightest wrestler, James Ball (78 pounds), and the heaviest, Marquise Brown.
Nearly 30 percent of people who sought information about vacationing on the Brunswick Islands went through with their plans, according to a recent conversion study by Smith Advertising for the Brunswick County Tourism Development Authority.
The previous conversion study in 2007 found 11.7 percent of inquiries resulted in visits. In the latest study, the number jumped to 29.7 percent, and half the visitors visit within two months of planning their trips, according to the results.
On Senior Night, senior guard Sheena Suttlemyre scored West Brunswick's first 10 points and had a hand in all 16 of its first-quarter points as the Trojans beat Whiteville 58-40 Feb. 2 in a Waccamaw Conference basketball game.
Suttlemyre hit four 3-pointers and finished with 29 points. She had three rebounds, two assists and three steals.
Breana Gause scored 12 points, Jasmine Daniels seven, Jasmine Jackson five, Kayla Padgett four and Rebecca Sidelinger one.
Even though Old Man Winter seems insistent on hanging around, our gardens are beginning to awaken.
The early daffodils are already up and the red maples are letting us know why they're called "red maple" (the red flowers).
If that's not enough to chase away your winter blahs, consider adding Japanese flowering apricot to your garden. It always blooms in January and February in shades of white, pink and red.
I came across an interesting article the other day that triggered an idea in what little frozen brain I have left. Master Gardeners throw out terms concerning America's favorite pastime as if everyone was familiar with the terms. I will try and explain some of the more common terms as well as some unusual ones.
•Soil pH: All soils range from 0-14 with 7.0 being neutral.
•Acid soil is soil with a pH below 7.0. Most vegetables, fruits, trees and grasses grow best in a soil with a pH of 5.5 to 7.0.
Religion, if not spirituality, is plagued by a certain passivity. Even the words we use denote a presence that requires response but seems not to evoke participation.
We attend worship services and Bible studies. We say our prayers. We love our neighbor—though often less than ourselves. There is activity involved, but rarely the radical action that tries human souls and resurrects the spirit.
Just as you never know the final score before a game begins, you also never know where sports will take you in life.
Two former West Brunswick athletes are proof of that, as Amanda Noble is now in Athens, Greece, playing softball and Cedric Simmons is in Dongguan, China, playing basketball.
Noble said she has been in Greece for two weeks as part of an international softball program. She will be there through July.

Thursday brings dangerous heat to central Indiana
Dangerously high heat will be a problem Thursday for anyone spending long periods of time outdoors in central Indiana. Heat indices will reach close to 100 degrees and there is a chance for isolated thunderstorms across southern portions of central Indiana this afternoon.
Hot and humid conditions will continue through Friday, when afternoon temperatures will top out in the lower to middle 90s with heat indices possibly rising into the lower 100s at times. There is also a chance for thunderstorms Friday into Saturday as a cold front drops into the area. Strong to severe storms will be possible with threats including damaging winds, heavy rain, localized flooding and lightning.
Drier and cooler weather is expected Sunday as the front will settles south of the Ohio River. Storm chances will return by early next week as the front lifts back north into the region.

Survey: Census 1870
|Data Source:
|Digitally transcribed by Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research. Edited, verified by Michael Haines. Compiled, edited and verified by Social Explorer.
Data set: Social Explorer Dataset (SE)
|T14. Place of Birth By Nativity [81]
Universe: Total Population
Table Details
|Place of Birth By Nativity
|Universe: Total Population
- States and United States iterated all native places of birth (published Total Native Born Population is the same as aggregated table total).
- County level observations omitted iterations for certain native places of birth resulting in under counts of published Total Native Born Population (published Total Native Born Population is always higher than aggregated table total).
- Omission of iterations depended on the state's or territory's benchmark-density of individuals from a specific native place of birth residing in that state. For example, Connecticut has a benchmark-density of 2,500 individuals meaning Connecticutâs counties only iterated native places of birth with a state total of 2,500 or more. Each state has a distinct benchmark-density. The category âNative Born, Place of Birth Not Statedâ exists only in observations for the States and United States and is not present for counties.
- Category: âCounties Only: Native Places of Birth Unknown or Not Iterated by Countyâ made by Social Explorer. This category includes all individuals for county level observations that were not iterated because their native place of birth was either not stated or was one that was under the stateâs benchmark-density. States and United States will zeros for this category.
- Caution: Floyd, VA, King and Queen, VA, and Horry, SC will also have zero for this category (their aggregated total over counted published total native born).
- 1870 Census enumerated a number of foreign places of birth that were not included in the published census volume.
- States and United States did not have iterations for people born in Asia, Central America, Europe (not specific), Greece, Greenland, India, Japan, Luxemburg, Malta, Pacific Islands, Sandwich Island, South America, Turkey, and Birth place not stated.
- Counties did not iterate previously listed places of birth plus other, state by state determined, underrepresented foreign places of birth. For Example, in addition to the above listed foreign places of birth, Connecticut's counties did not iterated people born in Italy despite having a count of 117 Italians in its state observation. Maine iterated number of Italians at the county level, it did not iterate Switzerland despite a state total of 9.
- Category: âOther Foreign Places of Birthâ made by Social Explorer. Caution: For State and United States, this includes born in Asia, Central America, Europe (not specific), Greece, Greenland, India, Japan, Luxemburg, Malta, Pacific Islands, Sandwich Island, South America, and Turkey. For Counties, this category included the same places of birth and other State determined places of birth. When using this table for counties refer to state table to determine which places of birth is included in this category.
- Fairfield, CT, Richland, OH, Hamilton, TX, and Castilla, CO will have a zero for this category (aggregated table total for these counties over counted published total foreign born).

The Foverts has learned that Rabbi Ovadia Isakov, the Chabad emissary who was critically wounded in the southern Russian Republic of Dagestan, was brought Thursday to Israel for medical treatment, according to the chief rabbi of the Russian military, Aharon Gurevich.
A group of Israeli doctors arrived in Dagestan on a specialized medical airplane Thursday evening, and accompanied Isakov, who is an Israeli citizen, back to Israel. The transport was organized by the chief rabbi of Russia, Berel Lazar, who is currently in New York.
According to police reports, the shooter's bullet punctured Isakov's right lung and liver as he was exiting his car. The identity of the shooter, who immediately fled the scene, is unknown. Police suspect that the shooting was motivated by anti-Semitism, but are investigating other possibilities.
Russian authorities have contacted Isakov wife and children, and will release further details of the investigation as they become known. Isakov has been serving as an emissary in the city or Derbent.
Ramazan Abdulatipov, the acting president of Dagestan, initially blamed the attack on "the extremists and terrorists who don't want everyone to be able to live a happy, normal life. Only the ignorant, the enemies of Dagestan, could do such a thing. Dagestan is greatly angered by them."

If you intend to begin a discussion about ways to improve insulation at home, you are likely to receive tips about numerous modifications you can make to windows, walls, and even flooring. Nonetheless, you probably won't hear anything about attic insulation. That's due to the fact that it may not be a widely known fact that attic insulation assists in guarding houses from extreme temperatures.
Homes with inefficient attic room insulation often have drafty spaces or entrances even when all doors and windows are closed. If this seems familiar, you might want to consider an attic room insulation upgrade by a respectable company. To determine which insulation option would work best for your residence, you have to first learn about the R-value, which is the insulation material's resistance to heat flow.
Numerous sorts of attic room insulations have different R-value ratings. In a city like Columbus, Ohio, where winter seasons get really cold and result in at least 4-5 inches of snow, you should choose attic insulation with a high R-value. Remember that the greater the R-value, the more likely your home will certainly be shielded from severe weather elements.
Rolls and batts, in particular, are very preferred. These flexible products are composed of mineral fibers such as rock wool and fiberglass. Rolls and batts are typical in homes with spacious attic crawlspaces, where the insulation is just laid out with a reflective material. Professionals in insulation Columbus Ohio residents trust also endorse blown-in cellulose insulation, which has a built-in fire retardant and is arranged utilizing a unique blowing appliance.
There are times when particular complications with your roof would need to be repaired before the insulation can be set up. Attic ceilings are thus often checked and fixed for water discolorations or marks, which are indications of roof cracks or air flow complications. Specialists in roof repair Columbus residents trust will certainly also need to apply brick sealer around your chimney and set it with a high-temperature caulk prior to setting up attic insulation.
If your shingles have loosened or developed cracks, you might want to consider roofing replacement. The kind of metal roofing Columbus Ohio locals choose, in particular, boosts the visual appeal of any house and provides reliable insulation too.

(CNSNews.com) - Republican George W Bush is thanking Virginia, North Dakota, and Washington state for decisive victories in Tuesday's contests.
"We are one step closer to victory," he said as the returns came in. "One step closer to a united party, and the Clinton-Gore administration is one step closer to the exit door."
In the Virginia primary, with all of the precincts reporting, Bush defeated Arizona Sen. John McCain 53-44 percent (Bush, 350,185 votes; McCain, 290,779). Alan Keyes had 20,294 votes, or 3 percent of the total.
Bush seized on his strong showing in Virginia to note that "the voters of Virginia rejected the politics of pitting one religion against another," a reference to his rival McCain, who has seized on Bush's recent visit to Bob Jones University in South Carolina to paint Bush as "anti-Catholic."
Bush said, "This campaign is winning and we're doing it the right way. We are uniting our party without abandoning our principles. We are expanding our base without destroying our foundations."
On Monday in Virginia Beach, McCain alienated many Christian conservatives by comparing their bosses to union leaders, bent on preserving power and prestige. Although his message bombed in conservative Virginia, McCain obviously expects it to attract Democrats and independents in the "Super Tuesday" round of primaries on March 7.
In North Dakota, with 100 percent of districts reporting, Bush had 6,865 votes, or 76 percent, and McCain had 1,717 votes, or 19 percent. Keyes had 481 votes, or 5 percent.
And in Washington state, with 98 percent of precincts reporting, Bush had 214,611 votes, or 58 percent, and McCain had 141,151 votes, or 38 percent. Keyes had 8,955 votes, or 2 percent.
A relaxed-sounding Bush told his supporters, "We are winning the debate of substance - the contest of ideas. Republicans and independents are rallying to our cause because we are speaking to their hopes. Voters are responding to our compassionate conservative agenda and my record as a reformer with results."
Bush has now regained the lead in delegates, too. After Tuesday's clean sweep, he now has 170 delegates toward the total of 1,034 he needs to win the GOP nomination. McCain has 105 delegates and Keyes has 5.
McCain told reporters on his campaign bus, "We'll look forward to Super Tuesday when we have a broad cross section of Americans all voting on that same day." According to the polls, McCain leads in some northeastern states.
On the Democratic side, Vice President Al Gore scored an overwhelming victory in the Washington state primary, stopping Bill Bradley's all-out effort to make headway in his faltering presidential campaign. Although no delegates were at stake, the Gore victory costs Bradley some badly needed momentum.
"This is really a sweet, sweet victory," Gore said in a conference call to his Washington supporters. "We climbed another mountain tonight."
Bradley reportedly has refused the advice of some supporters that he should drop out of the race. He told reporters that "March 7 [Super Tuesday] is the takeoff time for this campaign."

Why do so many bad guys and sinister places have names using the syllable "mor"? James Harbeck mentionsMoriarty, Voldemort, Mordor, and Piers Morgan, though he ultimately dismisses the last.
The answer that immediately occurs is etymological: mor- is linked to death in Romance languages, the Germanic mora means darkness, and murder comes from the old English morth.
But Harbeck thinks there's more than etymology here: "'mor' may be what is sometimes called a phonestheme: a part of a word that tends to carry a certain connotation not because of etymology or formal definition but just by association. Words that start with 'gl' often have to do with light (glow, gleam, glimmer, glitter, glisten, etc.) even though they are not all related historically; similarly, words that start with 'sn' often relate to the nose (snoot, sniffle, snot, snore, sneeze, etc.). It doesn't mean that all words with those letters have the meaning in common, but there is a common thread among a notable set of them."
Words sometimes change to take on a phonesthemic quality. "Mordred" was initially Medraut or Modred, equivalent to Moderatus. It changed to Mordred because of Morgan le Fay, but "possibly also through some sound associations, with murder (earlier murther) and with the French morte. After all, the best-known account of the Arthurian legend is Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur."
It may be that etymology is more deeply intertwined with meaning than post-Saussurean linguistics supposes.

Anyone carry the Taurus PT11 Pro as the CCW?
A good friend of mine did for years. He recently traded it for a smith and wesson sigma of all things. He loved it, but he didn't shoot it much so I don't know if that helps. I fondled it a few times, seemed nice.
I assume you mean the PT111.
If so, yes I do.
It has been very reliable. It isn't too heavy for a double stack 9mm, & conceals well.
The only real problem I have, which is my body type, not the gun, is the grip is a bit too long & straight down for me. I just have to be extra careful that it doesn't print when I bend forward.
My wifes EDC is a Millenuim Pro111. She shoots it very well and carries it appendix in a HBE Pro TL. It's a breeze to clean.
NO..but you do have one of the hottest gunslingers out there shooting for Team Taurus..Jessie Duff(formerly Jessie Abate of Team Glock). Just saying....

1. Re: How to create multipage tiff from BufferedImage's843802 Jul 21, 2010 7:32 PM (in response to 843802)Question 1
To create a multipage tiff you use the method TIFFEncodeParam#setExtraImages. The method takes an iterator. I'm not sure if there is a built in way to append pages to an already existing file, but in theory you can read from the already existing file as needed (when iterator#next is called) and write to a temporary file, before replacing the existing file with the temporary one. So you'll still have to read the existing file, but you don't have to keep all the images in memory.
If you switch to core java's ImageWriter/ImageReader api and get [JAI-Imageio|https://jai-imageio.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html] (which has a TIFF ImageWriter plugin) then you can insert images into an already existing file. Presumably the TIFF ImageWriter appends directly to the file.
Question 2
The only thing special about a BufferedImage is that it has exactly one raster at (0,0) and it's guaranteed to have a color model. RenderedImages may have more than one raster and are not guaranteed to have a color model. But if your RenderedImage does have a color model, then you get rgb data from it the same way a BufferedImage does,
There are other ways, but this is the most generic.
colorModel.getRGB(raster.getDataElements(x, y, null));

Hackensack store's surveillance video shows suspect in possible 'knockout' assault
HACKENSACK — A video of a man's sudden, vicious attack on a passer-by in what city police warn may be among the first local incidents of the "knockout game" was released from a store surveillance camera Wednesday.
The athletically built assailant is recorded walking coolly into a convenience store. Four minutes later, he strolls outside, empty-handed and with the same demeanor. But in a burst of violence, he slugs a man he encounters in the face, causing the man to instantly fall to the ground.
Mobile users click here for video.
The video was released by the Simple Simon Market on Essex Street as city police continued to search for the assailant and advised residents to be alert. The black-and-white film shows one of three separate assaults by the same man Monday night within less than 15 minutes in the areas of Essex Street, Summit Avenue and Beech Street. Police said the victims were two men in their 50s and another in his 20s. None was badly injured, police said initially.
Police did not return calls seeking comment about the investigation's progress Wednesday. Councilman Leo Battaglia said Wednesday night that police are working hard to apprehend the assailant.
"Pretty soon we're going to catch the person doing this, and he will be punished to the extent of the law," he said.
Related: Hackensack cops seek 'knockout game' suspect after three assaults
Media reports of the incidents stunned area residents and caused further alarm about the dangerous game that has resulted in one North Jersey death and plagued urban areas nationwide.
Paresh Patel, an operations manager at the convenience store, said the assailant is a regular customer who often buys hard liquor. In the video, the assailant is seen standing in a refrigerated aisle for about three minutes before eventually pulling out a bottle of Smirnoff vodka. He goes to the register to pay for it, but Patel said he decided it was too expensive, and he put the bottle back.
The assailant then walked out, past a customer smoking outside and toward a man who had just crossed the street from Hackensack University Medical Center. As he suddenly punched the man, the assailant's cellphone went flying out of his hand. He picked it up and casually continued on.
John Van Lenten, who traveled to the Hackensack market just after the man was struck, said other customers called police while he checked to ensure the victim was breathing. The victim had been knocked unconscious, but was rolling around, Van Lenten said.
Van Lenten, who lives a few blocks away, said the neighborhood is quiet, but the incident made him concerned for the safety of his young daughter.
"It's crazy," he said. "You don't hit people for a game."
The knockout game has prompted proposed legislation by state lawmakers targeting the offense with harsh penalties. In initially announcing the assaults, city police Capt. Thomas Salcedo described the game as: "Someone just walks up and cold-cocks someone in the face totally unannounced, totally unprovoked."
But Battaglia, the city councilman, said he didn't think the incidents represented a "knockout game" trend in Hackensack or North Jersey, because they involved just the one assailant.
The video shows an assault differing markedly from confirmed "knockout game" incidents: The game typically involves a strolling group with one person suddenly punching a passer-by and another recording video to display on social media. Police say that in all three Hackensack assaults, the assailant seemed to be acting alone.
The assailant in the video matches an early description given by Salcedo: He is black, has an athletic build and appears to be 6 feet in height or slightly taller. He wore a V-neck short-sleeved T-shirt, black pants and a Brooklyn Nets cap.
Anyone with information may call city police at 201-646-7777.
The knockout game's base violence has led almost a dozen state lawmakers to sponsor five pending bills. State police and the state Attorney General's Office have said they have not seen the game as a growing problem in New Jersey.
But last year, a 46-year-old homeless man was killed in Hoboken after he was approached by three teenagers and punched. The 14-year-old who threw the punch was sentenced last week to six years in a detention center, and the two others received probation.
Patel, whose family has operated the convenience store for 12 years, said the store has never experienced a robbery or any other comparable act of violence — "This is the first time something like that happened since we've been here," he said.

Israel has no chance of signing a permanent peace accord with the Palestinians and should instead seek a long-term interim deal, the most powerful political partner of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday.
The remarks by Avigdor Lieberman, an ultranationalist whose joint party list with Netanyahu narrowly won a Jan. 22 election while centrist challengers made surprise gains, seemed designed to dampen expectations at home and abroad of fresh peacemaking.
A spring visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories by U.S. President Barack Obama, announced this week, has stirred speculation that foreign pressure for a diplomatic breakthrough could build - though Washington played down that possibility.
In a television interview, ex-foreign minister Lieberman linked the more than two-year-old impasse to pan-Arab political upheaval that has boosted Islamists hostile to the Jewish state.
These include Hamas, rivals of U.S.-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who control the Gaza Strip and spurn coexistence with Israel though they have mooted extended truces.
"Anyone who thinks that in the centre of this socio-diplomatic ocean, this tsunami which is jarring the Arab world, it is possible to arrive at the magic solution of a comprehensive peace with the Palestinians does not understand," Lieberman told Israel's Channel Two.
"This is impossible. It is not possible to solve the conflict here. The conflict can be managed and it is important to manage the conflict … to negotiate on a long-term interim agreement."
Abbas broke off talks in late 2010 in protest at Israel's settlement of the occupied West Bank. He angered Israel and the United States in November by securing a U.N. status upgrade that implicitly recognised Palestinian independence in all the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza.
Israel insists it will keep East Jerusalem and swathes of West Bank settlements under any eventual peace deal. Most world powers consider the settlements illegal because they take up land seized in the 1967 Middle East war.
Lieberman, himself a West Bank settler, said the ball was "in Abu Mazen's (Abbas') court" to revive diplomacy.
Abbas has demanded Israel first freeze all settlement construction. With two decades gone since Palestinians signed their first interim deal with Israel, he has ruled out any new negotiations that do not solemnise Palestinian statehood.
Netanyahu's spokesman Mark Regev noted that Lieberman, in the Channel Two interview, had said he was expressing his own opinion.
Asked how Netanyahu saw peace prospects for an accord with the Palestinians, Regev referred to a speech on Tuesday in which the conservative prime minister said that Israel, while addressing threats by its enemies, "must also pursue secure, stable and realistic peace with our neighbours".
Netanyahu has previously spoken in favour of a Palestinian state, though he has been cagey on its borders and whether he would be prepared to dismantle Israeli settlements.
Lieberman's role in the next coalition government is unclear as he faces trial for corruption. If convicted, he could be barred from the cabinet. Lieberman denies wrongdoing and has said he would like to regain the foreign portfolio, which he surrendered after his indictment was announced last year.

Welcome to my teaching blog. I've taught at The Evergreen State College since 1997, gradually developing strategies of incorporating animation into the teaching of a variety of disciplines including fine arts, sciences, history and literature and media studies. For information about my personal creative work including films, flipbooks and other animation toys, please visit Random Motion. To view my films, go to my vimeo page.
In 2016-17 I am co-teaching CultureLab: Advanced Projects in Visual and Media Arts with Evan Blackwell. In 2017-18 printmaking faculty Lisa Sweet and I will teach Studio Projects: Outside the Lines, a variation on a program we taught together in 2009-10 called Drawing Outside the Lines. You can see what kind of work we did in that program here.
In 2015-16 I taught Visualizing Microbial Seascapes: An Introduction to Animation and Marine Biology with Gerardo Chin-Leo. This was a fall/winter program that repeated in spring 2016 with new students. Students collaborated to produce two versions of The Monograph Project to demonstrate their understanding of marine microorganisms, a blog of animation, illustration and descriptions of many Puget Sound plankton species.
In November 2013, I wrote an entry for the Animation Studies 2.0 blog "Protean Media: One Animator's Perspective" for their focus on animation and technology.
In spring 2012, I co-taught "Animal Others in Image and Text" with Anne deMarcken. Working with Head of Instructional Media, Stephanie Zorn, and IT Specialist Amy Greene, we collaborated with students to create the eBestiary, a blog that compiled and presented each participant's research and creative response to observations of animals during the quarter. In November, 2012, the eBestiary won the Northwest Academic Computing Consortium's Award for Innovation in Educational Technologies. You can view a short documentary made for the awards presentation about the eBestiary below.

I am trying to work out my expected marathon time? I am considering entering a marathon later this year and want a vague idea how long I might take . I have been running one year but have never run more than 10 miles. I did this in 74mins. Can I use this time to calculate an expected time???
Help please
Hi Rob, yes you can, although bear in mind that it is only an estimate (and assumes you have done all the appropriate training).
There is a calculator on the RW site
or this one

Cheers Sheri, that was a great help.

His Application via the Financial Times
[Adam Posen] is the first MPC member publicly to call for a second-round of quantitative easing, often referred to as QEII.
"It is right for both long-term stability and short-term performance for central banks to do more now," Mr Posen told a business audience in Hull.
He certainly advocating Quantitative Easing by the Bank of England and his use of the plural Central Banks leads me to suppose that he is pointing at the Fed and ECB as well.
Posen adds a warning. One that I will be echoing though perhaps a mildly less alarmist way.
"Let us not forget that it was sustained high unemployment and austerity, the sense that governments were unresponsive to average people's dire economic conditions, which led to the rise of extremist intolerant parties in pre-war Europe," Mr Posen concluded.

Trade the Winter Chill for Bermuda Sunshine
Pompano Beach Club • Southampton, Bermuda
Escape Kit
- Two- ($349), Three- ($525), Four- ($699), Five- ($875), Six- ($1,049), or Seven-Night ($1,225) Stay for Two in a Deluxe Oceanfront Room from Now to March 7
- Daily Breakfast for Two
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers to Extend Stay
The Destination
White-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters lapping at the shore, refreshing breezes rustling palms—these are the images of paradise. They're also the scenes that play out every day in Bermuda. While the island's bountiful beauty is the perfect setting for those looking to relax and dig their toes into the sand, there's no shortage of entertainment and sightseeing opportunities. In the winter months—when temperatures hover in the high 60s—hit the links at world-class golf courses, explore the island on motor scooters, visit the historic Royal Naval Dockyard, or bike the island trails. In summertime, snorkel among the vibrant coral reefs, kayak the warm Caribbean waters, or lounge on the silky sand with a chilled piña colada in hand.
The Digs
Dramatically situated overlooking Bermuda's southwest coast, the family-owned-and-operated Pompano Beach Club is truly a tropical paradise. Between the beautiful beachfront setting and exceptional hospitality, it's easy to see why this popular resort is considered one of the best on the island. Pompano's oceanfront deluxe rooms have spacious terra cotta-tiled balconies and patios, 42-inch flat-screen TVs, king-size beds, and large bathrooms with double sinks, marble countertops, and separate tubs and showers. Floor-to-ceiling windows and mirrors reflect a full-service fitness center, and the pool deck boasts not only a bright-white balustrade railing that's been the setting for photo shoots featured in prominent fashion magazines, but also spectacular views of the cerulean ocean below.
The Diversions
• Dine at the resort's oceanfront Cedar Room, Ocean Grill, and Coral Reef Café
• Tee up at the top-rated, Robert Trent Jones, Sr.-designed Port Royal Golf Course
• Play on one of the resort's five complimentary-use tennis courts
• Unwind at the on-site oceanfront day spa
"Pompano, which is passionately run by an American family, understands its customers—and those customers return year after year for the casual atmosphere and beachfront location."-- Read Fodor's Review of Pompano Beach Club

COLUMBUS — Ohio State had it's first football practice Wednesday afternoon under new head coach Urban Meyer, and it was apparent early on that there was a major fundamental change afoot.
Meyer, a two-time national championship winning coach at Florida, had the tempo at practice at an all-time high. The practices were more vocal, faster and a bit more youthful.

A contingent of construction science majors from Texas A&M University travelled from the classroom to the work site and got a close-up look at the operations of the demolition and recycling company Cherry Companies of Houston.
Cherry is a member of the National Demolition Association (NDA )'s Construction Industry Advisory Council (CIAC), and served as host to the students.
"We have a great time exposing these students to the role that specialty contractors play in the construction industry," says Leonard Cherry, president of Cherry Cos. The Texas A&M program works closely with the NDA to pique students' interest in the many aspects of commercial construction work, including estimating, scheduling, project management and contract law.
"The NDA is most interested in establishing relationships with schools like Texas A&M and our long-time ally, Purdue University, so that our members meet construction science students and vice versa," says Kim Wieland, NDA's director of member services.
The NDA notes that it offers internship opportunities to construction management majors interested in the field.
The Texas A&M students travelled to Houston to view some of the latest demolition and recycling techniques. Cherry specializes in removing a variety of structures – from highways and bridges to industrial plants and commercial buildings – and recycles the vast majority of what it demolishes. Among the most commonly recycled materials are concrete, asphalt, steel, composition shingles and tires.
Cherry says that it is one of the largest recyclers in Texas and the Gulf Coast area; the company estimates that it processes more than two million tons of recycled, stabilized materials per year at all its recycling centers.
The tour included a visit to the Houston site where an implosion of Macy's department store took place last year. There, a crew of more than 120 workers from various Cherry divisions coordinated all aspects of the 10-story building implosion. Workers were able to remove and recycle around 50,000 tons of material.
"I really appreciate getting to learn more about how demolition specialty contractors like Cherry work, because it gives me better insight about bringing these types of companies on future jobs," says Texas A&M Senior Blake Bell, who has already lined up a project manager job with Balfour Beatty, a global infrastructure services business.

st: RE: Factor analysis(?) question - missing data
Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:44:56 -0400
A few things to add to what others have already said:
-Missing data in factor analysis is a royal pain for a number of reasons. A friend of mine (Ed Merkle) wrote his dissertation (at Ohio State) on the topic. You may want to get in touch with him: http://psychology.wichita.edu/people/Faculty/Merkle.htm
-Multiple imputation in the context of Exploratory Factor Analysis is liable to run into the issue of label-switching. In factor analysis, the signs of loadings are not identified and the iterative solution may well flip the signs around quite arbitrarily. CFA would be much more tolerant because you are imposing much more structure on the solution and thus will constrain things enough to avoid label-switching.
-(Stata's EFA program has some issues, most notably lack of standard errors, inability to use a covariance matrix and a very restricted number of algorithms, most notably lacking GLS and Minres/ULS; it also does sequential chi square tests for dimensionality selection which are not statistically valid. On the other hand it has some really nice features, such as the ability to do multiple random starts.)
-You may consider looking at software that handles such things, such as Mplus or AMOS, which will do missing data analysis and factor analysis all at once. I'm not familiar enough with GLLAMM to know how it's going to handle the missing information, but you could certainly set up a full information ML factor analysis in it. Warning: It will likely be VERY SLOW.

Homicide, Suicide On Beach 67 Street
Carolyn Knight, 28, of Beach 67 street, Arverne, was shot to death Tuesday night in front of her Beach 67 street, Arverne home by her boyfriend Almondo Joseph who then turned the gun on himself and committed suicide with one shot to his head.
Knight and Joseph, 27, of Rosedale, had reportedly been dating for more than 10 years, but according to family members, things were not going well in the relationship of late. Carolyn was a computer operator and described by family and friends as a sweet girl. Knight's family told police the couple had been fighting over Joseph's involvement with another woman.
Carolyn's death marks the third homicide in the 100th precinct this month, after a period of 18 months with no murders in Rockaway's westend precinct.

I undestand that federal law prohibits pistol purchase except in your state of residence. Long guns can be purchased out of state.
This is a discussion on Buying a pistol in Texas? within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Anyone know the laws on an Arizona resident buying a pistol while they're visiting Texas? A friend of mine asked at an Academy Sports store ...
Anyone know the laws on an Arizona resident buying a pistol while they're visiting Texas? A friend of mine asked at an Academy Sports store and they told him Arizona residents are not legal to buy pistols in Texas. But then, this was the same Academy Sports store that told him you have to be 21 to buy an AR-15...
I undestand that federal law prohibits pistol purchase except in your state of residence. Long guns can be purchased out of state.
God is love (1 John 4:8)
Correct, you can only purchase or acquire a handgun in your legal State of residence.
Arrange for the licensed dealer in Texas to ship the handgun to a licensed dealer in Arizona. You then take possession of the firearm from the Arizona dealer, after completing the 4473 and NICS check.
Of course, you will have to pay the Texas dealer for the gun, (he's not going to let it go for free,) but you can't take possession of the gun in Texas.
When youre wounded and left on Afghanistans plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.
Rudyard Kipling
That's correct. He can purchase a pistol in Texas, but it must be shipped to an FFL in his home state, for him to take delivery. Most chain stores won't do this type of transaction.

Yet another reason to support a local gun shop. Mine would take care of 'receiving' such a purchase in a 'heartbeat'.
Hope you can make the deal.

One exception being is if you are active duty military, you may purchase a pistol in your state home of record and another state if you are stationed in the other state on PCS orders.
"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." -Thomas Jefferson
"Liberalism is a Mental Disorder." -Michael Savage
GOOD Gun Control is being able to hit your target! -Myself
HOWEVER, a military member who has a driver's license from a "home of record" state cannot legally purchase any firearm, other than a long gun from an FFL, in that state unless they are actually PRESENT in the state with the INTENT of making a HOME there.
Electronic Code of Federal Regulations:State of residence. The State in which an individual resides. An individual resides in a State if he or she is present in a State with the intention of making a home in that State. If an individual is on active duty as a member of the Armed Forces, the individual's State of residence is the State in which his or her permanent duty station is located.
A copy of your orders attached to the paperwork and you will be fine. I purchased several handguns in TX, while I was stationed there. I am an AZ resident, but I talked to the gun store owner and was told that if i provided a copy of my orders, I could buy there.
But everyone above is correct. You cannot buy it and take ownership of it in TX. Honestly though why does it mattter there are so many gun stores here in AZ, I'm sure your friend can find what he is looking for right here.
Thanks, guys. Good to know the facts.
Yes, I'm sure he can find what he is looking for in AZ. He was just interested in getting to play with it while he's in TX for an extended stay.
Thanks again,

Sacramento Poet Laureate Jose Montoya Has Died
Another local icon has fallen. Activist, artist and Sacramento Poet Laureate Jose Montoya has died.
County Supervisor Phil Serna reflected on the passing of Jose Montoya.
"I think like so many others that grew up in Sacramento, we knew Jose Montoya not just as an integral part of the Royal Chicano Air Force artist collective, but someone that was equally invested in his community," Serna said.
Montoya taught art at Sac State for 27 years and was founder of the schools Barrio Arts program. Montoya was a native of New Mexico and grew up in the farm fields of the Central Valley working alongside family members. Montoya was 81.


text: Hi Everyone, I just registered for the site today, but have been researching all the knowledge you guys have to offer for the longest time. I just bought a 2007 WRX TR about a week ago, having wanted a Subaru for a couple of years. I waited until I found one that I really liked. I bought it with only 17,000 miles on it and it was shipped from Florida up to a dealer in NY (I live in CT). I'm still in school right now, but am almost done with my Mechanical Engineering Degree (This is where my love of cars stems from). I'm looking forward to asking a lot of questions .

A number of my colleagues and I attended the recent global SAS analyst event to understand the future of SAS's business and technology strategy. It was clear to me from this event that SAS is attempting to bridge the increasing divide between "traditional" analytics and the big data and cloud-based analytics worlds.
Here's a few of our key observations and takeaways from the event:
Posted by Michael Barnes on the Customer Insights Professionals Blog on February 15, 2013
Some markets and industry sectors in Asia Pacific (AP) were clearly early adopters of big data initiatives, but interest has now spread to almost all subregions and verticals. The reason is simple: More and more organizations now understand the value of data for not only addressing customer demands and expectations but also for responding to changing market dynamics and improving operational efficiency.
The common link across all big data initiatives is an interest in using more types of data, from more sources, to enable timelier, better-informed insights. With that in mind, we're seeing two common use cases driving big data awareness and investment across industries:
Demand-driven, customer relationship-oriented initiatives
These initiatives are a response to increasing customer expectations for more personalized service. Typically centered on improved customer insight and engagement, organizations are seeking ways to better access and leverage customer data to improve understanding, more effectively personalize relationships, predict behavior, and ultimately deliver improved value via increased customer intimacy. Specifically, the sheer volume of readily available and increasingly accessible data that organizations can leverage — such as location data from mobile devices, apps and personal data on customer preferences and relationships from social networking sites — is driving big data initiatives. Early adopters typically include telcos, retailers, banks, insurance firms, and citizen-oriented eGovernment initiatives.
Supply-driven, efficiency-oriented initiatives
Posted by John Brand on the CIOs Blog on December 17, 2012
In a previous post I highlighted that disruptive technologies don't even need to be implemented to be disruptive. The mere fact that vendors and other organisations are either creating or being swept up in the hype can be a major disruption to any organisation.
In our soon to be released research on Asia Pacific Trends for 2013 we highlight a number of disruptive trends that are affecting organisations all all types and sizes - whether commercial, government or not-for-profit. None is more profound than the impact that big data will have on Asia Pacific organisations in 2013. The Asia Pacific region has a very broad spectrum of capabilities, maturity and variations in its outlook and optimism. Big data and deep analytics are two areas where we see significant disruption occurring. The Asia Pacific 2013 trends report highlights some of these differences in Asia Pacific and calls out specific implications for specific markets. There's also more detailed information in our Big Data in Asia Pacific report, also due out shortly.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: open
If they are testing a new algorithm, I would think that a company as large as Google would have enough disk space to do their testing off of the live site and only change the live Google versions when they have thoroughly modified and tested.
No doubt they do - however they have got a hell an amount of data to transfer to the live DCs. - They probably do this in stages - an amount of data goes live - some testing, few other factors added - more testing etc etc etc.
Google has been missing with us too much.. They are making money off our backs and then keep slapping us in the face.. I did well in the last update.. so this is not sour grapes talking. It's my overall tainted view of this "DO ALL EVIL" company.
Larry and Sergey have made the transition to the dark side and now are sith lords..LOL..
I couldn't care a less about pr.. if google didn't penalize me for linking to banned sites that I could easily see using the toolbar then I wouldn't care about the visual aspect about it.
One good thing is that schemes like the infamous link co-op will be brought to its knees.. I am actually hoping visual pr goes away for good.
On the lighter side, anyone want to buy links on one of my 4 pr10 sites? I have screen shots of them just before toolbar pr went out.. LOL..
It will be soooo difficult to do the link exchanges and we will be always on a guessing about the quality of the site . It will be very tough in the begining if at all this is permanent
But looking at it in a broader angle this will eliminate the fraud practices going on and quality content will gain value .... which means over all betterment of the internet as a whole .
Of course, it'd be nice if Google actually shared information about what's going on, but that's one thing Google has been been ... transparent.
If this is the end of page rank or visible page rank numbers I say good. This will force all of us to focus on real content to help users.
