Daniele Barbaro, 1545
Vecellio, Tiziano (called Titian)
Italian, 1488 - 1576
oil on canvas
85.8 x 71.5 cm
Purchased 1928
National Gallery of Canada (no. 3567)
OLD - The historian Bishop Paolo Giovio was a collector of portraits of his more famous contemporaries. In 1544, he asked Daniele Barbaro, a noted humanist and scholar of architecture, the sciences and philosophy, for his portrait and, in turn, Barbaro asked Titian, the most important Venetian painter of the day, to make it. Wearing an understated yet elegant robe, appropriate for a man of his noble status, Barbaro poses rather self-consciously, yet his gaze does not meet ours – his formidable intelligence is clearly elsewhere. Another version of this portrait exists, and the relationship between the two has long been debated. Recent study has allowed us to understand that the two works were painted side-by-side; this canvas being the one on which Titian worked out placement of detail and colour, and likely the painting he finished with Barbaro present in the same room. Recently restored, the painting can be seen clearly for the first time in centuries. While its former condition had led to confusion over its authorship, technical study and restoration means we can confirm an observation made by the writer Aretino – a mutual friend of all three – praising Titian's miraculous hand in capturing Daniele's appearance and spirit. Frame: carved and gilded wood. Italy (Tuscany), mid-16th century The restoration of this painting was made possible through the generous support of VKS Art.

| DESIGNED BY: Ralph Cutter
THREAD: Olive
TAIL: Ginger Zelon or Antron
ABDOMEN: Ginger Haretron
WING: Deer
HACKLE: Dun saddle
THORAX: Green rabbit
This fly evolved through many trials and tribulations. I wanted a pattern that would imitate adult caddis trapped in their pupal shuck as they were attempting to emerge (E/C means emergent/cripple). The trailing Antron or Zelon imitates the trailing shuck and the brownish abdomen looks much like the portion of the pupal shuck with the caddis body still inside it. The bright green thorax replicates the emerging portion of the adult body. It is interesting to note that without the dual tones of the green and brown, the fly falls off noticeably in effectiveness. I am not alone in this observation, Gary LaFontaine in his classic book, CADDISFLIES, noted the same effect on several other caddis imitations. This fly was first tied like an Elk Hair Caddis with a palmered hackle.
From an underwater vantage using SCUBA gear I could see the palmered hackle produced a distinctly un-caddis like impression on the surface. The pattern perked upright on the water where true emerging caddis sprawled across the surface as they spread their legs out across the water trying to leverage their trapped bodies from the shuck. I changed the traditional palmered hackle to a parachute wrap around the base of the wing and it produced not only an excellent impression of the crippled caddis, but also the best pattern Ive ever come up with. Since it was published in 1981 many people have copied and changed the pattern only to come back to the original style. I continue to play with it but have yet to find a way to make it better.
Fish the E/C Caddis on a leader treated with fly floatant. Treat the wing, hackle, and thorax with floatant but allow the posterior end of the fly to break the film. It can be a difficult fly to see so you might consider tying a bright piece of yarn somewhere on the leader as a fly locator. Fish it as a searching pattern between hatches or as a specific imitation during a caddis hatch. If you shove the deer hair into a ninety degree post from the body it makes a pretty good mayfly emerger pattern.

At July 09 it's still in warranty so make that call and follow the directions. I bet they will have you reload the OS so let's see if you are ready.
Hi, hope you can help I'm going around in circles to try and sort out this problem.
Acer Aspire 5738Z Vista Home Basic
Intel Pentium dual core processor T4200
I've had it since July 09 and everything was fine til about 3-4 weeks ago - progs load on start up then laptop and mouse freezes for 5 minutes, after that everything is up and running. (I hadn't installed new programs or software just before problems started so think that's not the problem) I've scanned and run spyware check and no probs there. I tried to use system restore but it's only showing recent dates and there's nowhere I can put in a date so I can restore to before probs started. By the way, don't know if it's relevant, but couple of weeks before probs started my facebook account was hacked into so had to change password! Hope you can help .... thanks very much.

After three earlier unsuccessful band albums, including the legendarily bad Attila album, Billy Joel struck out again on his quickly forgotten debut solo album, Cold Spring Harbor, which featured the notable "She's Got A Way" (a hit in a 1981 live version) but was mostly notable for the production mistake that caused Billy's vocals to sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks. After signing to Columbia Records, Billy's second album, recorded with L.A.-id back session pros, was a step in the right direction and contains three of his most durable songs. ôPiano Man,ö an autobiographical account of his days playing at an L.A. cocktail lounge after his first album because his previous record company had no money, remains his signature song though he's had bigger hits. Still, it was his first top 40 chart success, and for all its corny faults it's an undeniable classic, helped along by its indelible harmonica hooks, pretty piano, richly drawn down and out characters, and especially its sing along chorus. Although not a hit, the heavily orchestrated and romantic epic ôThe Ballad Of Billy The Kidö is another well-known classic rock radio standard that showcases Billy's natural storytelling skills, plus the interplay between the horns, piano, and orchestration is impressive. Last but not least, "Captain Jack" may be over-long at 7+ minutes but it's another "losers down on their luck" classic, with memorable lyrics (Butthead: "he said 'masturbate' Beavis, huh huh...") describing the pathos of everyday life and more importantly a soaring chorus about getting a fix from the drug dealing Captain Jack (like many people I suspect for many years I thought this song was about Jack Daniels; same basic concept I suppose). Unsurprisingly, the rest of the album fails to keep pace with the three famous songs, but most of the rest of the tracks are both enjoyable and atypical, such as the briskly paced banjo/violin showcase "Travelin' Prayer" and "Ain't No Crime," a catchy, lively mid-tempo gospel flavored duet that features sax and guitar solos and defends the pleasures of drinking (unfortunately alcoholism would become a reoccurring problem in his life). "Stop In Nevada" is another melodic, catchy orchestral tune with gospel-ish female backing vocals, while "You're My Home" is a pleasant country tinged ballad, Billy obviously having been influenced by Elton John's country themed Tumbleweed Connection (comparisons between these two "piano men" are inevitable, and they would later embrace such comparisons by touring together). Elsewhere, Joel is somewhat undone by overwrought ("If I Only Had The Words (To Tell You)" or slight ("Worse Comes To Worst") melodies, as well as overblown orchestrations and overly wordy and at times clumsy or smarmy lyrics, but the majority of Piano Man is enjoyable (I quite like "Somewhere Along The Line" as well) and it's his best early album. Certainly Billy could give up his piano lounge job after this album, and after the so-so Streetlife Serenade, most notable for "The Entertainer," Billy really hit his stride.
Turnstiles (Columbia ĺ76) Rating: A-
Easily Billy Joelĺs best, most consistent album to date, Turnstiles is one of his best albums, period (probably my second favorite), and it's also notable for being self-produced and for being the first album on which his (now) long serving backing band played. At a critical juncture of his career after the disappointingly slow sales of Streetlife Serenade, Joel came through with some of his loveliest and most memorable melodies. Though bereft of charting hits, a good half of this album is comprised of stage favorites and familiar classic rock radio tracks. The soulful, elegant, dreamy piano lounge ballad "New York State Of Mind," one of several odes to his hometown of New York, is perhaps the most notable of these, as it's one of his quintessential songs and has become a much covered standard, as well as something of an unofficial state theme song (after all, how can you not love that smoky sax solo?). Also excellent is "Say Goodbye To Hollywood," which borrows the drum track from The Ronettesĺ ôBe My Babyö and echoes the grandiose ambitions of Phil Spector while lyrically saying goodbye to California as he headed back to his hometown after several years away. "Prelude/Angry Young Man" is a stellar showcase for his considerable piano playing skills (there's a synth solo too) and his ability to write a catchy tune (I also appreciate the song's rhythmic cadences), while the dramatic, theatrical epic "Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)," which tells the tale of an apocalyptic New York, obviously took on an added resonance after September 11, 2001. Elsewhere, the melodic, melancholic ôSummer, Highland Falls," also about New York, is an overlooked gem of an album track, while "James" and "I've Loved These Days" are pretty if sappy ballads; although I acknowledge their faults, I have to admit to having a soft spot for both of them, especially the latter due to nostalgic reasons as it was my high school's prom song. The only real misfire is the funky, reggaefied pop of ôAll You Wanna Do Is Dance,ö which is still catchy but also kinda silly; Joel should leave these types of hybrid pastiches to Paul Simon who does it much better. On the whole, much of this album can be seen as a laid back love letter to Joelĺs home state; it's small wonder then that he would always be so heartily embraced by New Yawkers - he was one of us and proud of it. Musically the album is very satisfying, lyrically less consistently so but oftentimes quite good as well, and though Turnstiles didn't quite break Billy on mainstream radio, it helped lay the groundwork for the gargantuan success of The Stranger.
The Stranger (Columbia ĺ77) Rating: A
Joelĺs breakthrough album, The Stranger transformed Joel from a cult artist into a star. Teamed with decorated producer Phil Ramone, the master pop craftsman delivered a tougher, more energetic, and more rocking album than anything he had done previously. Containing nine songs, six of which were either hits or became radio mainstays, The Stranger plays like a greatest hits album, and the only major problem I have with it is just how overplayed most of these songs are. On the rocking front, ôMovinĺ Out (Anthonyĺs Song),ö one of several songs here with an Italian flavor, is one of Joelĺs toughest and catchiest (with its notable "ack ack ack" vocal hooks) rockers, while ôOnly The Good Die Youngö is arguably even better, boasting an irresistibly upbeat melody along with memorable Catholic church baiting lyrics, not to mention a storming sax solo (I'm a sucker for a good sax solo and this album has loads of 'em). On the ballad front, ôJust The Way You Areö (the album's biggest hit and a much covered standard) and ôSheĺs Always A Womanö (featuring one of his loveliest vocals) may be sappy "chick songs" (Joel's words, not mine), but they sure are graceful and pretty, even if they became easy targets for punk rock loving professional critics. Also notable is the title track, a memorable story song about the various masks people wear that starts off with some exquisite, evocative whistling before it kicks into high gear with a tough guitar-driven mid-tempo groove. The album's piece de resistance, however, is the epic multi-sectioned masterpiece ôScenes From An Italian Restaurant,ö which starts as a slow smoky ballad, builds up to a jaunty piano rocker with a New Orleans flavor that also shows off Joelĺs knack for telling stories and creating rhymes, before finally returning to smoky ballad territory again. Simply put, this song shows off every side of Joelĺs considerable strengths as a melodist (never in question) and lyricist (an area critics have always had harsh attitudes toward), and for my money it's the single best thing Joel ever did. Anyway, those are the famous songs on the album, but the subtle, classy piano ballad "Vienna" (that's where he tracked down his father who had left him when he was seven) is also something of an overlooked gem a la ôSummer, Highland Falls," and I also like the admittedly slight but still quite tuneful ôGet It Right The First Time.ö The gospel flavored ballad ôEverybody Has A Dreamö provides a satisfying final track before the gorgeous piano/whistling melody of "The Stranger" is again reprised, a nice touch as it brings the album full circle. Simply put, there's a reason that this album has gone platinum 10 times over, as it's Billy Joel's best album, period, and the one where even the professional critics (many seemingly his sworn enemies) grudgingly give him his just due.
52nd Street (Columbia ĺ78) Rating: B+
The Stranger was #2 U.S. hit that was only kept from the top spot by the ridiculously successful Saturday Night Fever soundtrack; both are among the most quintessential albums of the late seventies. Riding the momentum of the prior album, 52nd Street, so named because that's where the album was recorded, became the first of several #1 albums by Billy Joel. That said, though new guitarist Steve Khan brings some cool riffs to the snotty rocker ôBig Shotö and Joel delivers a ôcanĺt get it out of my headö piano groove to the poppy ôMy Lifeö (the theme song of Tom Hankĺs sitcom Bosom Buddies), big hits both, mean-spirited lyrics (ôgo on and cry in your coffee but don't come bitchinĺ to me,ö ôyou can speak your mind, but not on my timeö) again had the critics on his case. Indeed, despite the huge success of The Stranger, the chip on Joelĺs shoulder sometimes remains difficult to overlook, but what always made up for Joelĺs cynical lyrical shortcomings were his superlative melodies, which simply arenĺt as immediate or as memorable this time out. Rather, this album, Joel's most diverse and jazzy to date, is comprised of "grower tracks" whose strengths become more apparent over time. The album's other hit was "Honesty," a melodic but mawkish ballad, while the ambitious epic "Until The Night," with its big soaring chorus and stellar sax solo, was a modest U.K. hit that showed an increased vocal range (his deeper register at times sounds shockingly unlike him). The majority of this 9-track album you'll never hear on the radio, however, including "Zanzibar," a winner of an album track which brings together two of Billy's favorite hobbies, sports and drinking; he also now has the clout to recruit ace jazz musicians such as Freddie Hubbard, who adds a notable flugelhorn solo. Elsewhere, the groovy and melodic, tough yet urban "Stiletto," one of several songs containing an enjoyable sax solo (all played by Richie Cannata), again had critics complaining about his "misogynist" lyrics, while the Latin flavored "Rosalinda's Eyes" is the type of relaxed, melodic, but maybe a bit boring ballad that makes some people think of Billy Joel as a "soccer mom balladeer." Of course, these are oversimplifications and are but one side of Billy Joel, but anyway, "Half A Mile Away" is a catchy song notable for Dave Grusinĺs hooky horn arrangements, an oddly danceable beat, doo-woppy vocals, and interesting lyrics where Joel escapes (however briefly) to an alternate life away from family demands. Rounding out the set list, the title track is a jazzy, sorta funky sax showcase that takes some getting used to, but that could be said about this album on the whole, as it's certainly not a classic like The Stranger, his career peak which went from highlight to highlight. That said, when taken on its own merits 52nd Street is certainly a solid follow up that's a strong album in its own right.
Glass Houses (Columbia ĺ80) Rating: B+
With guitarist David Brown added to Khan, the Billy Joel band was ready to rock, as Glass Houses saw Billy trying to prove that he was a rocker first, then a balladeer. Embracing the simplicity and directness of punk and especially new wave, Joel's second straight #1 album is largely remembered for its massive hits and is partially forgettable due to a rather nondescript second half. The first half is among Billy's best, however, beginning with the hard rocking ôYou May Be Right,ö on which Joelĺs irascible nature comes to the fore on yet another song about binge drinking. Fortunately, it has a good tough groove (Billy's band is really good), a memorably rough voiced vocal, a catchy chorus, and enjoyable guitar and sax solos. ôSometimes A Fantasyö is another catchy, tough, nervy rocker whose horny lyrics (itĺs about phone sex!) are matched by a performance that grows in heat until its surging, exciting finish, while ôDonĺt Ask Me Whyö features a breezy McCartney-ish pop melody. This one ammmo to the critics who decried him as being a "middle of the road" popsmith. Of course, at heart Billy has always been more Tin Pan Alley than punk rock, but that didn't stop him from directly taking on his critics on the albumĺs biggest hit (his first #1 single), ôItĺs Still Rock nĺ Roll To Me,ö whose chugging, finger snapping mid-tempo groove is more notable than its critic baiting lyrics (in turn the critics at Rolling Stone voted this the worst song about rock 'n' roll ever, but given that Billy had a #1 hit with it, I'd say that he got the last laugh). Anyway, wrapping up what used to be side one on the LP is the dramatic ôAll For Leyna,ö another overlooked gem of an album track about another femme fatale with whom our pathetic young narrator has a dangerously lustful obsession. On the downside, though I think highly of them, songs such as "Sometimes a Fantasy," "All For Layna," and "Sleeping With The Television On" (the catchy highlight of side two) contain cheesy keyboards that date them to the early '80s. Also, "C'Etai't Toi (You Were The One)," with its pretentious butchered French, and "Close To The Borderline," a borderline annoying rocker, are skippable entries on side two, though "Borderline" is at least somewhat salvaged by some hot guitar soloing. Fortunately, though neither are highlights, "I Don't Want To Be Alone" (more tuneful pop) and "Through The Long Night" (which stands out due to its much multi-tracked vocals and melancholic horns) are enjoyable album tracks that have grown on me over time. On the whole, though its high points rise higher for me, Glass Houses is a bit more hit and miss than 52nd Street, and it sounds dated at times in ways that some other Billy Joel albums don't. However, it also contains several excellent songs and is another tuneful and enjoyable album overall.
The Nylon Curtain (Columbia ĺ82) Rating: B
After a successful live album (Songs in the Attic) that highlighted some of his more notable album tracks ("Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)," "Say Goodbye to Hollywood," and "She's Got A Way" all got renewed airplay), Billy survived a serious motorcycle accident, after which he was unscrupulously sued by the woman whose fault the accident was! More legal problems would later follow, but in the meantime Billy released The Nylon Curtain, which was successful but not quite as successful as previous albums, "only" selling 2 million and spawning only a pair of popular but not massively popular top 40 hits. Then again, one of these, "Allentown," a tuneful, thoughtful mid-tempo message song about a struggling factory town, was easily one of the best songs that Billy's ever done. The second single, "Pressure," is a dramatic, intense rocker that's fun despite being seriously dated by its cheesy synthesizers, and the album also features a pair of superior album tracks in "Goodnight Saigon" and "She's Right On Time." The 7+ minute "Goodnight Saigon" (also a single but this one never really took off commercially) also has its cheesy elements (those echoed "night night night" vocals for example) but it still presents a moving, theatrical (I could picture it in a Broadway musical a la "Goodnight Saigon") tribute that's justifiably become one of the more famous songs ever about the Vietnam War. I especially like its anthemic "Hey Jude"-like chorus, which isn't too surprising as this is easily Billy's most Beatles-esque album to date. As for "She's Right On Time," this is another "overlooked gem" of an album track that simply delivers simple, melodic pop; its upbeat, romantic lyrics are a stark contrast to "Laura," an angry, intense Lennon-esque rant. Having recently gotten divorced from his first wife and former manager, Elizabeth, whom he had earlier stolen from his best friend, Billy was clearly having anger management issues related to women (perhaps somewhat warranted given his recent lawsuit as well!), but anyway, back to this album, whose second side again fails to keep pace. "A Room Of Our Own" is this album's obligatory annoying rocker, but "Surprises" is better, though it suffers somewhat from its overly Lennon-esque vocal (comparisons don't flatter) and thin sound. I'm also not a huge fan of "Scandinavian Skies," an experimental but only semi-successful track inspired by John Lennon's late-'60s psychedelic period, while "Where's the Orchestra?" is a pretty but also pretty boring ballad. At least it is before it turns into a slower reprise of the melody of "Allentown," as Billy effectively reprises the trick introduced on The Stranger, bringing the album full circle and making it seem more thematically cohesive than it actually is. On the whole, The Nylon Curtain is another solid album with some major highlights, but it's also one that's pretty hit and miss for me, though I should note that I seem to rate Glass Houses higher than most people and this one lower. Maybe this album is just a little too overly derivative of The Beatles for me, or maybe I don't appreciate the decreased use of sax and the increased use of keyboards (which in some cases haven't aged very well), plus its sound is rather thin at times. In any event, despite its strengths I probably listen to this album less than any Billy Joel album reviewed on this page.
An Innocent Man (Columbia ĺ83) Rating: B+
This album features Billy Joel at his most upbeat and joyous, and aside from his subsequent ôgreatest hitsö compilations itĺs the last Billy Joel album that I wholeheartedly recommend and enjoy (though his later albums had their moments as well). The reason for his unbridled cheerfulness is ôChristie Lee,ö i.e. Christine Brinkley, the gorgeous supermodel who had become the new love of his life, to the shock if not downright disbelief of many (Billy isnĺt exactly a looker). A pre-Fab early rock Ĺnĺ roll sensibility makes these some of Joelĺs most fun songs, in particular the classy homage to Ĺ50s street corner doo wop ôThe Longest Timeö (the lesser but still solid ôThis Nightö and ôCareless Talkö are decidedly doo woppy as well), the Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons sendup ôUptown Girlö (replete with high-pitched falsetto vocals), the guilty sounding Drifters tribute ôAn Innocent Manö (with more falsettos as this is arguably Billyĺs most impressive album from a vocal perspective), the sparse romantic ballad with wonderful harmonica ôLeave A Tender Moment Alone,ö the catchy, up-tempo, horn-heavy Motown sendup ôTell Her About It,ö and the lightly funky pop of ôKeeping the Faith.ö These songs were all top 30 Billboard hits in the U.S., the title track and ôUptown Girlö cracking the top 10 and ôTell Her About Itö hitting #1 as the album went platinum many times over. Perhaps there are no ôhidden gemö album tracks this time out, and I personally find the James Brown tribute ôEasy Moneyö and the boogie rock of ôChristie Leeö to be annoying fillers, but this album contains a plethora of contagiously enjoyable if somewhat insubstantial hits. Indeed, though itĺs not really remembered as a blockbuster album, An Innocent Man was just that, and in retrospect this album can be seen as the closing chapter of what I consider to be Billy Joel's peak years.
Greatest Hits Volume I & II (Columbia ĺ85) Rating: A
This aptly titled double cd does justice to Joelĺs fans by neatly encapsulating this charismatic artist's career up until this point (1973-1985), though there are enough important songs missing to make it far from a complete retrospective. This collection runs through the gamut of his repertoire in chronological order, beginning with the sprinkly piano intro to his classic ôPiano Manö and continuing with other early standouts such as ôCaptain Jackö and ôThe Entertainer.ö The album also contains first rate rockers brimming with his New York attitude, such as ôMovinĺ Outö and ôOnly The Good Die Young,ö while ôJust The Way You Are,ö ôSheĺs Got A Way,ö and ôAlways A Womanö are examples of sappy yet undeniably effective and lovely ballads. Although Joel overreaches somewhat on the still mighty fine ôGoodnight Saigon,ö he achieves near perfection on his rhymey story song ôScenes From An Italian Restaurant,ö which is dramatic and funny without his customary bitterness, which can make otherwise bouncy songs such as ôMy Lifeö a tad overbearing. Again, there are many key radio favorites missing - "The Ballad Of Billy The Kid," "Prelude/Angry Young Man," "Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)," "Honesty," "Sometimes a Fantasy," "An Innocent Man," "Leave a Tender Moment Alone," and "Keeping the Faith" chief among them - but this album, which has sold about a bazillion copies, does what it sets out to do. In fact, though all of his individual albums have their own distinctive flavor, this compilation may be all that most casual fans will need, especially when you consider that it has all six of the famous tracks from The Stranger, his best individual album. Needless to say, the album's two new tracks, the catchy but dated to the '80s "You're Only Human (Second Wind)" and the solid but nothing special "The Night Is Still Young," also became hits (albeit a minor one in the case of the latter song), as Joel really had the Midas touch from a commercial standpoint once he broke through. To give you an idea of the universal appeal of this album, when I was a freshman in college I had two roommates and we all had very different tastes in music, but when we went to bed at night, every night, we put on the one album that we could all seem to agree upon: this one. Note: As of 2010, Billy Joel has released only three albums since (none since 1993), though he also released a classical album. in 2001 Also of note is that in 1987 Billy became the first Western rock star to tour the Soviet Union, in the early to mid-2000s his songs formed the basis of a successful Broadway musical choreographed by Twyla Tharp called Movin' Out, and in 2008 he fittingly helped close Shea Stadium with several concerts before it was demolished (in order to be replaced by the more modern Citi Field). On the downside there were multiple failed marriages, numerous lawsuits after Billy discovered that his ex-manager (and former brother in-law) had robbed him blind, and bouts with alcoholism and careless car crashes. Still, though Billy's had his share of troubles, the guy has one of the best gigs going, as he's able to enjoy semi-retirement and still sell out Madison Square Garden (sometimes in tandem with fellow piano man Elton John) whenever he feels like it to keep the cash flow going strong. As such, there's little incentive for him to record a new pop album, and the longer he stays away the less likely it is to happen.

RE: AW: st: sort of standardization

The word "range" is surely ambiguous, although the ambiguity does not
bite hard. I have no difficulty in saying both that the range is the
interval [1,10] and that the range is the difference 9. Does that differ
from Rich's view?
Richard Goldstein
look at it this way -- if my min is 1 and my max is 10, then the range
is 10 (it seems to me), not 9 -- i.e., I think of the range as the min
to the max *inclusive* of each endpoint; StataCorp apparently disagrees

I guess that Joe has in mind here his -unblock- program published in STB-7. I can't find a record of any sibling -block-. As earlier posted, combining -reshape- and -expand- gives an official Stata solution. Nick email@example.com ===================================== Nick: Well, you may be correct. However, but it seems that I also wrote programs called -fold- and -unfold- as well. Those were the ones I remembered when reading the email. Here is the -unfold- ado file, and its associated help file. I notice now that it is written in version 3.0 code. Presumably it should work, but it may need updating. The logic remains the same so that anyone wanting to amend it to current version code may do so. Of course, one may simply use a combo of Stata's expand command. But I found using this program (or block/unblock - they were published together) much easier. I have to admit that the program appears rather primitive -- it's 13 years old now. Joe Hilbe *! version 3.0.0 4/23/92 Hilbe capture program drop unfold program define unfold version 3.0 local varlist "req ex min(2)" parse "`*'" parse "`varlist'", parse(" ") confirm new var _`1' confirm new var _`2' local k = _N local k1 = _N + 1 quietly expand =2, clear capture { gen byte _`1'=0 in 1/`k' replace _`1'=1 in `k1'/l gen _`2'=`2'-`1' in 1/`k' replace _`2'=`1' in `k1'/l mac shift mac shift } noisily di in bl " Blocked data unfolded..." local rc = _rc error `rc' end ========================================= ================================================ Help of ^unfold^ : Program to unfold or unblock data sets -------------------------------------------------------- Joseph Hilbe, Editor STB The syntax for ^unfold^ is: ^unfold^ pos_var pop_var [rhsvar] pos_var is a variable containing the number of positive responses for a group or block. pop_var is the total cases in a block or group. Right-hand-side covariates will be appropriately handled; you do not need to name them on the command line. Consider the following grouped data set: infec cases cd4 cd8 1. 2 2 1 2 2. 4 7 0 0 3. 1 3 2 2 4. 0 2 2 0 The first observation tells us that there are two cases having the values of 1 and 2 for cd4 and cd8 respectively. Moreover, both of these cases have a positive response (i.e. infection occurs). The second observation represents a group consisting of four positive responses out of seven cases for a covariate pattern of 0 0. ^unfold^ literally unfolds or ungroups a data set. In order to do this two new variables are created. ^. unfold infec cases Blocked data set unfolded... ^.l infec cases cd4 cd8 _infec _cases 1. 2 2 1 2 0 0 2. 4 7 0 0 0 3 3. 1 3 2 2 0 2 4. 0 2 2 0 0 2 5. 2 2 1 2 1 2 6. 4 7 0 0 1 4 7. 1 3 2 2 1 1 8. 0 2 2 0 1 0 Notice that the first observation, having a covariate pattern of 1 2, shows no cases with a non-positive outcome. Observation 5, having the same pattern, records two positive responses (infections). This accords with what we saw in the grouped format. Also notice that the newly created variables of interest have the same name as the original grouped variables, except that they have a leading underscore. Although the original variable could have been discarded in the transformation, I decided to retain them in the ungrouped data set in case a user may find them valuable. However, they are not needed for most subsequent analysis. Remember, when performing subsequent analysis, ^_cases^ is a frequency weight. Hence, a logistic regression of the above data set would look like: ^logistic^ _infec cd4 cd8 [fw=_cases] Of course, you may rename the underscored variables to anything you like. Refer to ^sqv4^ for use with blocked logistic regression. ======================================================================== Joe Hilbe > I once wrote an ado file for the STB called -unfold-, which went together > with -fold-.

Let the Bowl Season Begin
Special to Rattleandhumsports.com
ORLANDO, Fla. — Georgia and Nebraska are hoping a New Year's trip for Florida will be the perfect place to get over their conference championship game disappointments.
Both teams accepted bids to the Jan. 1 Capital One Bowl on Sunday, just a day after falling in their respective conference championship games.
The Bulldogs (11-2) came up just a few yards short of winning the SEC crown and trip the BCS national championship game Saturday night, losing to defending BCS champion Alabama, 32-28.
Capital One
For the Cornhuskers (10-3), their 70-31 loss to Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game might not have had the nail nibbling heartbreak Georgia endured, but was just as painful.
The New Year's Day meeting at the Florida Citrus Bowl will mark only the second time Georgia and Nebraska have met. Nebraska defeated the Bulldogs, 45-6, in the 1969 Sun Bowl.
Nebraska is appearing in the Capital One Bowl for the second straight season. The Cornhuskers fell 30-13 to South Carolina in last season's matchup. It is their 49th bowl appearance overall.
It will also be farewell to former longtime coach and current Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne, who will retire from that position on Jan. 1 as well.
Georgia won the SEC East division title for the second consecutive year. It is making its sixth appearance in the Cap One, having last beaten Michigan State in 2009. This will be the Bulldogs' 48th bowl game.
This second matchup between Nebraska and Georgia should be closer than the first.
Georgia thrived this season offensively behind Tampa, Fla. native and junior quarterback Aaron Murray. He leads the nation in yards per passing attempt (7.8), while throwing for 31 touchdowns.
Defensively the Bulldogs had the SEC's second-ranked pass defense, allowing just 120 yards per game. Linebacker Jarvis Jones has been a big part of that, with 12.5 sacks on the year.
The Cornhuskers also have a capable signal caller in junior Taylor Martinez. He is Nebraska's all-time career leader in total offense with more than 9,000 yards.
Martinez has also gotten a lot of support from running backs Rex Burkhead and Ameer Abdullah, a tandem that lead the most productive rushing attack in their conference, averaging 254 yards per game.
AT&T Cotton Bowl
After missing out on the BCS, Big 12 co-champion Oklahoma will instead take on Johnny Football and former conference rival Texas A&M in the AT&T Cotton Bowl.
The Sooners (10-2) had their chances of an at-large BCS bid extinguished Sunday when MAC champion Northern Illinois moved up far enough to claim an automatic bid. Instead, they'll take on Heisman Trophy contender Johnny Manziel and the Aggies, who had been divisional rivals and yearly opponents for the past 16 seasons before A&M left for the SEC.
It'll be the first chance for Oklahoma's Bob Stoops to coach against Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin, who was an assistant with the Sooners for five years.
The game will be played at Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Jan. 4.
Chick-fil-A Bowl
LSU will face Clemson in the Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta on Dec. 31.
Officials announced their selection of LSU (10-2) on Sunday night after a day of frenzied speculation about how the SEC bowl hierarchy would shake out. Clemson (10-2) was a lock to be the ACC representative after Florida State won the league championship.
LSU has won its five previous appearances in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, most recently a 38-3 rout over Georgia Tech in 2008. Coach Les Miles' team will be trying to lock up the seventh 11-win season in school history.
Clemson is set to play in the Atlanta game for the eighth time, having lost to LSU 10-7 in 1996 when it was known as the Peach Bowl.
Outback Bowl
Michigan (8-4) has been invited to represent the Big Ten in the Outback Bowl against South Carolina (10-2) of the SEC on Jan. 1.
It's the second trip in five seasons to the New Year's Day game for South Carolina, which lost 31-10 to Iowa in Tampa in January 2009.
Michigan hasn't played in the Outback in 10 years. The Wolverines beat Florida 38-30 to conclude the 2002 season and faced Alabama in two previous trips to Tampa.
Hyundai Sun Bowl
Georgia Tech is heading back to the Hyundai Sun Bowl for the second straight year and will face underachieving USC on Dec. 31 in El Paso, Texas.
The Yellow Jackets, who got a waiver from the NCAA to play in the postseason despite having a 6-7 record following a loss in the ACC championship game, will play in a bowl game for the 16th straight season. That's the fourth-longest streak in the nation.
USC (7-5), which was ranked No. 1 to start the season, hasn't faced Georgia Tech since 1973. The Trojans have won two of the three previous meetings.
"After not being in a bowl the past two years, we look forward to playing in a bowl with the tradition of the Sun Bowl," USC coach Lane Kiffin said in a statement. "Georgia Tech is a very well-coached team and will present a challenge on both sides of the ball, especially with their great ability to run the ball."
Valero Alamo Bowl
Texas will make a short postseason trip this year to face Oregon State in the Valero Alamo Bowl.
The Longhorns (8-4) will need only to zip down Interstate 35 to San Antonio for the Dec. 29 game. It will be Texas' first appearance in the bowl since 2006.
Oregon State coach Mike Riley says it will also be a bit of a homecoming for Beavers running Storm Woods, who is from nearby Pflugerville.
The Beavers (9-3) will be playing in a bowl game for the first time in three years.
TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl
Northwestern and Mississippi State will play in the TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Fla. on New Year's Day.
The Wildcats (9-3) and Bulldogs (8-4) accepted invitations Sunday, giving the bowl a less-than-marquee matchup. The Gator Bowl pitted Florida and Ohio State last season, an intriguing matchup that featured Urban Meyer's former team against his future team.
This time, the bowl wasn't nearly as fortunate.
Sure, Northwestern is playing on New Year's Day for the third time in four years. But the Wildcats aren't known for filling stadiums. And Mississippi State is back in Jacksonville for the second time in three years. In 2010, coach Dan Mullen and the Bulldogs were one of the surprises of the Southeastern Conference. This time, though, MSU comes in having lost four its last five games.
Heart of Dallas Bowl
Oklahoma State and Purdue will finally play again — 15 years later in the Heart of Dallas Bowl.
The Cowboys, one of five Big 12 teams with a 7-5 record, and Purdue (6-6), from the Big Ten, were chosen Sunday as the participants for the New Year's Day game played at the historic Cotton Bowl Stadium.
It is a rematch of the 1997 Alamo Bowl won 33-20 by the Boilermakers — their first bowl appearance in 15 years — at the end of then-coach Joe Tiller's first season.
Tiller's successor, Danny Hope, was fired after four seasons with a 22-27 record. That decision came a day after the Boilermakers ended the regular season with a 56-35 win over Indiana for their third consecutive win since losing five in a row.
Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl
The UCLA Bruins and Baylor Bears will play each other for the first time when they meet in the Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl on Dec. 27 at Qualcomm Stadium.
The Bruins (9-4) won the Pac-12 South and are coming off a 27-24 loss to No. 8 Stanford in the conference championship game. Baylor (7-5) closed the regular season with three straight victories, including a 52-24 upset of Kansas State on Nov. 17. At the time, K-State was ranked No. 1 in the BCS standings.
On Saturday, the Bears beat Oklahoma State 41-34, knocking the Cowboys out of the Top 25.
"To a man they were all excited about getting to play one more time and getting to play in the Holiday Bowl," UCLA coach Jim Mora said. "I just think they like to play. They like to play together and they like to compete. That's the sense that I got."
Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl
Michigan State and TCU will meet in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.
Two of the nation's best defensive teams, the Spartans and Horned Frogs will play at Sun Devil Stadium on Dec. 29.
TCU (7-5) had an up-and-down first season in the Big 12 — winning its first four games, then losing three of four before clinching its eighth straight bowl appearance with a double-overtime victory over West Virginia on Nov. 3.
Michigan State (6-6) also got off to a solid start before losing five games in the Big Ten by a combined 13 points. The Spartans are making their eighth bowl appearance since 2001.
BBVA Compass Bowl
Pittsburgh is making its third straight trip to the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala.
The Panthers will face Mississippi on Jan. 5 in a matchup of 6-6 Big East and Southeastern Conference teams. Both are led by first-year coaches.
Pitt became bowl eligible for the fifth consecutive season with Saturday's 27-3 rout of South Florida, rebounding after losing its first two games to Youngstown State and Cincinnati.
Paul Chryst's Panthers also took No. 1 Notre Dame to triple overtime before losing.
Mississippi won its sixth game with a 41-24 upset of Mississippi State for their first Egg Bowl win in four years. Rebels coach Hugh Freeze led a resurgence of a team with one Southeastern Conference win over the previous two seasons.
Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl
Vanderbilt will only have to travel a few miles from campus for its bowl game.
The Commodores (8-4) will face North Carolina State (7-5) in the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl on Dec. 31 at LP Field.
This game matches a coach who just signed a contract extension against an interim coach. Vanderbilt coach James Franklin agreed to a new contract Sunday after reaching a bowl game for a second straight season, the first time the Commodores ever have gone bowling in back-to-back years. North Carolina State offensive coordinator Dana Bible will serve as the Wolfpack's interim head coach in place of Tom O'Brien, who was fired last weekend.
Vanderbilt is making its second Music City Bowl appearance in the last four years. The Commodores beat Boston College 16-14 in 2008.
Russell Athletic Bowl
Rutgers and Virginia Tech will square off in the Russell Athletic Bowl on Dec. 28 in Orlando, Fla.
The Scarlet Knights (9-3), representing the Big East, are making their first appearance in an Orlando bowl. The co-Big East champions have a five-game bowl win streak, tied for the nation's longest.
Rutgers is looking for its first double-digit win season since 2006. Next season will be its last in the Big East, after announcing plans to join the Big Ten in 2014.
The Hokies (6-6), from the Atlantic Coast Conference, lost twice to Big East teams this season. They fell 35-17 to Pittsburgh and 27-24 to Cincinnati.
Virginia Tech and Rutgers were Big East foes before the Hokies left for the ACC in 2004. Virginia Tech holds an 11-3 all-time edge against Rutgers.
Meineke Car Care Bowl
Minnesota will face Texas Tech in the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Houston on Dec. 28.
It's the first bowl appearance since 2009 for the Gophers (6-6), who reached the postseason despite winning just two Big Ten games.
Texas Tech (7-5) returns to the postseason after a one-year absence. The Red Raiders dropped their final regular-season game to Baylor in overtime, 52-45, but they beat West Virginia and TCU and doubled their Big 12 win total from last season.
Minnesota and Texas Tech played each other in the 2006 Insight Bowl. The Gophers suffered an epic meltdown, blowing a 31-point lead and losing 44-41.
Belk Bowl
The Duke Blue Devils will make their first bowl appearance since 1994, taking on the Cincinnati Bearcats in the 11th annual Belk Bowl on Dec. 27 in Charlotte.
Duke finished the season with a 6-6 overall record, including a 3-5 in the ACC.
The Blue Devils won six of their first eight games. They beat rival North Carolina 33-30 to become bowl eligible, but lost their final four contests. Coach David Cutcliffe was named the 2012 ACC Coach of the Year and nine Blue Devils earned All-ACC recognition.
Cincinnati (9-3 overall, 5-2 in the Big East) won their first five games and then four of their last five contests to earn a share of the Big East title.
New Era Pinstripe Bowl (Blog)
Syracuse is headed back to the New Era Pinstripe Bowl for the second time in three years and will face former Big East foe West Virginia on Dec. 29 in Yankee Stadium.
Syracuse (7-5) won five of its last six games to capture a share of the Big East championship with a 5-2 league mark. The Mountaineers (7-5, 4-5 Big 12) completed their regular season with a 59-10 win over Kansas.
This is the 11th straight bowl trip for West Virginia, which started the season with five straight wins and was ranked as high as fifth before five straight losses.
It will be Syracuse's 24th bowl appearance overall. The Orange is 13-9-1 all-time and 4-2 against the Big 12 in the postseason.
MAACO Bowl Las Vegas
The MAACO Bowl Las Vegas will have a Northwest flavor with a matchup featuring Boise State and Washington.
The Broncos and Huskies accepted invitations to the Dec. 22 bowl Sunday, setting up just the second-ever matchup between the two schools from neighboring states.
The Broncos (10-2) have played in the Las Vegas Bowl each of the last two years, beating Arizona State last year and Utah the year before. Washington (7-5) is making its third straight bowl appearance.
The Broncos earned the invitation after knocking off Nevada on Saturday to earn a share of the Mountain West Conference title with Fresno State and San Diego State.
The Huskies beat Boise State 24-10 in their first meeting in Seattle in 2009, snapping the Broncos' 14-game winning streak.
Gildan New Mexico Bowl
Two teams that ended their regular-season schedules in disappointing fashion will meet at University Stadium on Dec. 15, when Nevada faces Arizona in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl.
Nevada (7-5, 4-4 Mountain West) got off to a 6-1 start to become eligible for a bowl. But an overtime loss to San Diego State sent the Wolf Pack into a 1-4 tailspin to close the season.
Arizona (7-5, 4-5 Pac-12) looked bound for a winning conference record in its first year with Rich Rodriguez at the helm, but the Wildcats lost 41-34 at home to rival Arizona State in their season finale.
Both teams feature powerful rushing offenses that rank in the top 15 nationally in yards per game. Both programs also are among the best in the FBS in points scored — and among the worst in points allowed.
AutoZone Liberty Bowl
Conference USA champion Tulsa will get another shot at Iowa State when the teams meet in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.
The Cyclones accepted the bid to the Dec. 31 game on Sunday. Tulsa (10-3) earned its Liberty Bowl bid Saturday by defeating UCF 33-27 in overtime.
Iowa State (6-6) won four of its first five games this season, but the Cyclones have gone 2-5 since. The Cyclones will be playing in the Liberty Bowl for the first time since 1972, when they lost 31-30 to Georgia Tech.
When the teams met back on Sept. 1, Iowa State beat Tulsa 38-23 in Ames. The Cyclones' Steele Jantz threw two touchdown passes and Shontrelle Johnson rushed for 120 yards.
AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl
Louisiana-Monroe, playing in its first bowl game, will meet Ohio in the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl.
The Independence Bowl selected Ohio (8-4, 4-4 Mid-American Conference) after being told Louisiana Tech was not yet ready to accept an invitation the Dec. 28 contest that could have been a matchup of two north Louisiana schools.
The Warhawks (8-4, 6-2 Sun Belt Conference) announced Saturday that they had accepted an invitation to play in Shreveport, which is a drive of less than two hours from Monroe.
The Bobcats, whose selection was announced Sunday night, opened the 2012 season 7-0 and were ranked as high as No. 25 in the AP poll, but lost four of their last five games. Ohio will be playing in its fourth straight bowl and second in Louisiana since 2010.
Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl
Rice is carrying a four-game winning streak into the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl, where the Owls will play Air Force, Dec. 29 in Fort Worth, Texas.
The game will be played in the completely redone stadium on the TCU campus. For its 10th game, the bowl is returning to its original location after two years at SMU.
Air Force (6-6) will play in its fourth Armed Forces Bowl, the most for any team. The Falcons, with a school-record sixth consecutive bowl season, played in three Armed Forces Bowls in a row from 2007-09, losing to California and splitting a pair of games against Houston.
The Owls (6-6) won five of their past six games to get bowl eligible. Rice is in its third bowl game since a postseason drought from 1961 to 2006.
Military Bowl Presented By Northrop Grumman
Bowling Green has accepted an invitation to play San Jose State in the Military Bowl Presented By Northrop Grumman.
Officials announced Sunday that the Falcons from the Mid-American Conference will face the Spartans in the game at RFK Stadium in the nation's capital on Dec. 27.
Bowling Green went 8-4 in the regular season and is one of a MAC-record seven teams from the conference who are bowl-bound.
San Jose State of the Western Athletic Conference accepted its bid Friday. The Spartans are 10-2 and entered the AP Top 25 Sunday at No. 24.
This year's Military Bowl was set to feature Army against a team from the Atlantic Coast Conference, but Army isn't bowl eligible and the ACC doesn't have enough eligible teams to fulfill its bowl tie-ins.
S.D. County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl (Blog)
After earning a share of the Mountain West Conference title for the first time since 1998,San Diego State will face BYU in the S.D. County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl on Dec. 20 at Qualcomm Stadium.
The Aztecs (9-3, 7-1) finished the regular season on a seven-game winning streak to share the conference title with No. 20 Boise State and Fresno State. San Diego State is just two years removed from its last Poinsettia Bowl appearance, a 45-17 victory over Navy in 2010.
The Cougars (7-5), an independent program, lost three regular-season games to ranked teams, including a 17-14 defeat to national championship participant Notre Dame. Four of the Cougars' five losses were by six points or fewer.
The Poinsettia Bowl pits SDSU's powerful rushing offense, averaging 229 yards per game, against a BYU defense allowing just 14.7 points per game.
Famous Idaho Potato Bowl
Utah State and Toledo have accepted invitations to play in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.
Utah State (10-2) is making its second straight appearance in a game played at the home of Boise State University and its funky blue turf. The Aggies lost a last-second thriller 24-23 last year against Ohio. They get a shot at redemption on Dec. 15 against the Rockets, another MAC team.
Toledo (9-3) is making a return to the postseason after missing out last year. The Rockets beat Air Force in the 2011 Military Bowl.
Utah State won the WAC title this season and set a school record for wins in a season.
Toledo won eight straight at one point this year, including a victory over Cincinnati.
Sheraton Hawaii Bowl
Fresno State says it has accepted an invitation to play SMU in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl in Honolulu on Christmas Eve.
Bowl and Fresno State athletics officials confirmed Sunday that The Bulldogs (9-3) will play in the Dec. 24 game against the Mustangs (6-6).
Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter says his team is in for a good week and a challenge in competing against SMU. Fresno State finished in a three-way tie for first place in the Mountain West.
SMU accepted its invitation last week. SMU athletics director Rick Hart said the game is a tremendous reward for the school's players. SMU finished second in Conference USA's West Division.
Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl
UCF's loss in the Conference USA championship game has the Knights staying close to home for the holidays against Ball State in the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl.
UCF (9-4) will make the 100-mile trip west from Orlando to St. Petersburg to face the Cardinals, who will carry a six-game winning streak in the Dec. 21 matchup at Tropicana Field.
Ball State (9-3) received its first postseason berth since appearing in the 2008 GMAC Bowl, filling a slot for the Big East, which didn't have enough bowl-eligible teams to fill the league's commitments.
UCF lost the Conference USA championship game 33-27 to Tulsa in overtime. Ball State went 6-2 in the MAC.
GoDaddy.com Bowl
Kent State will meet Arkansas State in the GoDaddy.com Bowl in the first bowl appearance in 40 years for the Golden Flashes.
The game is played on Jan. 6, the eve of the BCS national championship game.
It's the second straight appearance in Mobile for Arkansas State, which lost 38-20 to Northern Illinois last season.
Kent State has won a program-record 11 games. The Golden Flashes are 0-2 all time in bowl games, including trips to the Refrigerator Bowl in 1954 and the Tangerine Bowl in 1972.
The Golden Flashes lost to Orange Bowl-bound Northern Illinois in double-overtime in the MAC championship game.
The Red Wolves won the Sun Belt Conference title and are 9-3 under first-year head coach Gus Malzahn.
R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl
East Carolina has accepted an invitation to meet Louisiana-Lafayette in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, Dec. 22 in the Superdome at 11 a.m.
The invitation went out to the Pirates (8-4, 7-1 Conference USA) after Tulsa's overtime victory over Central Florida in the Conference USA title game Saturday. East Carolina has won five of its last six games, but lost out in tiebreaker with Central Florida for Conference USA's East Division crown.
The Ragin' Cajuns (7-4, 5-2 Sun Belt Conference) are the defending New Orleans Bowl winners and were looking to clinch a second-straight eight-win season in their regular-season finale Saturday night at Florida Atlantic.
Louisiana-Lafayette accepted its bowl invitation after beating South Alabama last week.
Little Caesars Pizza Bowl
Western Kentucky is heading to its first bowl since joining college football's top-tier in 2009.
The Hilltoppers will play in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl in Detroit on Dec. 26 against Central Michigan. Western Kentucky (7-5) was also bowl eligible last year but didn't get to play in one.
The Sun Belt Conference team received an invite from the Pizza Bowl, which has ties with the Big Ten and Mid-American conferences. With Ohio State and Penn State ineligible, postseason options from the Big Ten were limited this year.
This is Western Kentucky's fourth season in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Central Michigan (6-6) played in this bowl three straight years from 2006-08.
Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl
Navy will take on Arizona State in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl on Dec. 29 in San Francisco.
Navy (7-4) has won six of its past seven games following a 1-3 start. And, as usual, it has been led by the run game. The Midshipmen rush for 285.5 yards per game, good for sixth nationally.
The Sun Devils (7-5) are strong on both sides of the ball. The offense has good pass-run balance, and the defense is led by defensive tackle Will Sutton, the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

This may have already been done, and if so, humor me. I was wondering how each of us came by their user name for the board? There are some interesting ones out there, and I am new to the board. If anyone wants to share, I would be really interested.
How I got my name: I bought a cd named WINTER SOLSTICE ON ICE. Apparently it was a production that was done for t.v. and I have yet to find it on tape. Anyway, as I was reading the information for my cool cd, it was describing how they Zambonied part of a glacier for one of the productions and skated on it. I always thought that was one of the neatest things that I had ever heard of. From then on I want to skate on a glacier. A little romantic I know, but still...
And, when I am not skating, sewing costumes, or working, I play Everquest. You can name your characters, and when you get to a certain level, you get a last name. All of mine have the last name of Glacierskater, and the first names have to do with some form of precipitation, like Rheiynn, or Hydra, or Glacier. Anyway, that's me. Please share something about yourself if you are so inclined. MATHMAN, that's a direct invitation

I'm looking at some 18 frame power extractors and was wondering about the mann lake 18 frame vs. the brushy mountain 18 frame power extractor. I've noticed one has a nylon basket & i think the other is stainless. Neither indiacate a slopped floor or gauge. I have about 15 hives and wanted to upgrade from my kelly's galvanized 2-frame hand cranker. Any ideas or opinions on similar models in operation out there? Both are priced about the same (around $900).
thank you

Thank you for your interest in St. Mary's School. We are proud of the students, teachers, and families that are committed to achieving an excellent educational environment. This type of passion is what molds and infuses greatness.
As a group of 14 parents, alumni, and community members, our job as a Board of Trustees is very different from that of a typical Board of Directors. We do not direct (translation: we don't tell the Head how to run the school). Rather, we are, quite literally, entrusted with the mission and long-term stability of the school. Everything we discuss either addresses how St. Mary's realizes its mission or pertains to the fiscal or legal health of the school.
We don't direct the Head of School on what classes to offer, which students to admit, or teachers to hire. Instead, we listen as he tells us how various changes and additions support the school's mission. We encourage the Head of the school in every way possible, by sending him to conferences, listening to proposals, approving new funding, and overseeing annual evaluations of his work and ours. If there is a price tag attached to a particular proposal, we look at ways to fund it and consider how the costs will change or be absorbed in future years. We are also de facto ambassadors for the school: on campus and in the community, we educate others about St. Mary's and sing its praises.
And finally, we are guided by our Strategic Plan, an impressively comprehensive document that lists major tasks - financial benchmarks, proposed program changes, campus maintenance and improvements, and fundraising goals - that the Board needs to accomplish in the coming years. Our Finance Committee Chair believes firmly in Mr. Micawber's maxim: "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery." and we spend time weighing each budget item carefully.
Additionally, we are always working to improve the Board itself so that it comprises a diverse range of expertise, interests, and contingents. The most exciting part of our job is listening to our Head of School and others present innovative ideas for new programs. As soon as these ideas take hold and become reality, we announce the plans to the St. Mary's community, and we have the satisfaction of knowing that this new idea has been well-planned, thoroughly reviewed, carefully analyzed, and responsibly budgeted.
St. Mary's School is a very special place. As the Board of Trustees, we are acutely aware of this in our community by the amazing citizens that have developed from their time at our school. Each Board member is proud individually and collectively for the results achieved by being involved with this great institution.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Both The Guardian and Fistful of Euros have links and coverage of this morning's London bombings, and they'll have updates throughout the day, no doubt. The whole thing is horrific, quite obviously, and a sober reminder that Iraqi civilians aren't the only ones vulnerable to daily terrorist attacks. This story, though, is priceless. Bombs alone can't tear down a country.
Update: The Counterterrorism Blog, a group effort by several terrorism experts, has a bit more on the dispassionate analysis side.

State Parks Day means free use on June 1
SALEM, Ore. - On June 1, the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department will celebrate the 15th annual State Parks Day by offering free tent, RV, and horse camp sites and free day-use parking at state parks throughout Oregon.
State Parks Day is held on the first Saturday in June each year. It was established in 1998 by a joint resolution of the Oregon State Legislative Assembly.
"It's a great way to thank Oregonians and visitors for their support of our state parks," said OPRD Director Tim Wood. "A day of free parking and a night of free camping---it gives everyone a chance to enjoy the experience of being outdoors during the summer."
State Parks Day will kick off Oregon Outdoors Week (June 1-9), a new initiative that links other statewide and national events promoting outdoor recreation, including the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's Free Fishing Weekend, National Fishing and Boating Week, National Marina Day, National Trails Day, and National Get Outdoors Day.
The theme of State Parks Day this year is "Let's Go," in honor of the Let's Go program, which was started by The Friends of Tryon Creek 15 years ago to offer low-cost introductory family camping in the Portland area. OPRD adopted the program and took it statewide in 2009. This year, it has expanded the program to include four new activities in addition to camping: Let's Go Birding, Let's Go Disc Golfing, Let's Go Hiking, and Let's Go Paddling.
Three Let's Go events will be offered on State Parks Day. Rangers will lead the activities and provide the necessary gear so that families can try new outdoor activities with confidence. The events are open to ages 8 and up; youth under 14 need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Some activities require preregistration--you must be 18 to sign up. The events are:
* Let's Go Disc Golfing at L.L. "Stub" Stewart State Park, noon to 2 p.m. Meet at Dairy Creek Camp West and wear sturdy shoes. Registration fee $10 per person. Limited to 12 participants.
* Let's Go Paddling (kayaking) at Milo McIver State Park, 9 to 11 a.m. Meet at Estacada Lake and wear shoes that can get wet. Bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and water. Registration fee $15 per person. Limited to 11 participants. Youth ages 8-14 need to have an adult with them in the kayak.
* Let's Go Birding at Tryon Creek State Natural Area, 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Meet at the Nature Center and wear shoes for hiking. Binoculars will be available. Free. First-come, first-served---no registration required.
Many other parks will also host special events on State Parks Day; check www.oregonstateparks.org for the full schedule of events and a list of future dates and locations for Let's Go camping and day programs throughout the summer. To register for a Let's Go program, call 1-888-953-7677.
Those planning to camp at a reservable site on State Parks Day should make their reservation early: sites can be booked two days or more in advance by visiting www.oregonstateparks.org or calling Reservations Northwest at 1-800-452-5687 before 5 p.m. on May 30th. Yurts, cabins, tepees, and group sites will be available at regular rates. It costs $8 to make a reservation, even for sites that are free for the night.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
We are a small company that was seeking services outside our group to assist with one of our projects. We contacted a company called Phase 4 Interactive and spoke with a man named Ian. Ian was, at least with his first email, kind enough to speak with us. On his follow up emails however, once we decided to not use his companies services, he got extremely hostile.
He started by bombarding us with emails and voicemail messages. Saying if we did not use his services he would resort to legal action. We ignored him, until the supoena came in the mail. The court case that resulted from, "choosing not to use his services after his poor consulting" was expensive. he did not win, but we ended up paying more for travel to the court and court expenses than we should have ahd to.
This company is full of theives and liars. I would recommend staying as far from them as possible. They will try and come after you just for declining to use their services. We are going to attach a few emails from Mr. Ian in here as well to give you some idea of how our conversation with him have been.

Could Tesla Motors revolutionize the auto industry, again?
Ten years ago all electric vehicles like the EV1, EV Plus, RAV4 EV, and others were relegated to the back burner when the automakers successfully fought the CARB ZEV mandate, and got CARB redirected to support hydrogen fuel cell research while the automakers went full bore into SUV sales. Some game changing events occurred a few years ago changing the direction of the automakers enough that there are now several electric vehicles on the market, in mass production by major automakers, on sale around the world. One significant event was the development of Plug-in Prius conversion kits by activists who launched a cottage industry of Prius conversions, keeping the "plug-in vehicle" on the table. The second, and more important, was the rise of Tesla Motors and the success of the Tesla Roadster. Because the success of Tesla made the major automakers EV programs look so bad, the company is credited with having given justification for major automakers to re-enter the electric vehicle market. Tesla Motors, with the Model S/X, appears poised to revolutionize the auto industry, again.
One may look at the total sales of Tesla Roadsters, 2500, and curiously ask how that can be called a success. That car competed in a narrow niche market of upscale high end sports cars, where 2500 sales is a significant number. Especially for an expensive electric car.
Those 2500 Tesla Roadsters were, according to Revenge of the Electric Car, what enabled Bob Lutz (then Vice-Chairman of General Motors) and Carlos Gohsn (CEO of Nissan/Renault) to re-awaken electric vehicle programs within their own companies. It's not just GM and Nissan, but Ford, Daimler, BMW and others, who re-awoke their sleeping EV programs when the Roadster came on the scene. To be fair it wasn't just the rise of Tesla Motors, because there's also rising concern over environmental pollution, greenhouse gases, and oil supply crunches, that are causing governments around the world to change the regulations to favor efficiency and a move away from fossil fuels.
Tesla's role in this is to design and manufacture no-compromise all electric vehicles, ones that demonstrate electric vehicles can be fun, beautiful, and powerful. Tesla's founders knew the Roadster would have to blow up and demolish the negative stereotypes around electric vehicles, that they can only be slow boring ugly golf carts. To do so the Roadster was designed with top end acceleration and top speed, built on a chassis provided by Lotus Engineering, and equipped with a huge battery pack allowing way more electric driving than is rationally needed.

Bluegrass festival planned
Twolick Valley Rod and Gun Club's annual Bluegrass Festival will begin at noon on Friday at the Rod and Gun Club, 487 Dogwood Road, Cherry Tree.
The event will run through Saturday.
"Our bluegrass festival consists of regular individuals that just like to get together and play music," said Jeanene Stewart, Rod and Gun Club secretary.
"Bluegrass" is defined as a kind of country music characterized by banjos, guitars, and high-pitched vocals and, according to the Indiana County Tourist Bureau calendar, multiple bands of this genre will perform.
Stewart said that the club has hosted the festival in May and August for years, and it is usually well-attended, depending on the weather. Previously, she said, the event has brought in several hundred people.
The event is open to the public and participants are welcome to camp. Stewart said that when attendees pull in, they can register for a camping spot.
For more information about this event, call Stewart at (724) 254-4649.

Compact Complex Surfaces

November 2003
BeschreibungIn the 19 years which passed since the first edition was published, several important developments have taken place in the theory of surfaces. The most sensational one concerns the differentiable structure of surfaces. Twenty years ago very little was known about differentiable structures on 4-manifolds, but in the meantime Donaldson on the one hand and Seiberg and Witten on the other hand, have found, inspired by gauge theory, totally new invariants. Strikingly, together with the theory explained in this book these invariants yield a wealth of new results about the differentiable structure of algebraic surfaces. Other developments include the systematic use of nef-divisors (in ac cordance with the progress made in the classification of higher dimensional algebraic varieties), a better understanding of Kahler structures on surfaces, and Reider's new approach to adjoint mappings. All these developments have been incorporated in the present edition, though the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten theory only by way of examples. Of course we use the opportunity to correct some minor mistakes, which we ether have discovered ourselves or which were communicated to us by careful readers to whom we are much obliged.

Already a classic in the field, this book is recommended both to mathematicians interested in this mathematical topic and physicists working in the modern theoretical physics." (EMS Newsletter, September, 2005) "The book under review is the second, substantially enlarged edition a ] with K. Hulek as fourth co-author. a ] the bibliography has been updated and tremendously enlarged, thereby reflecting the vast activity in the field during the past twenty years. Now as before, the text is enriched by numerous instructive examples. a ] No doubt, this book remains a must for everyone dealing with complex algebraic surfaces, be it a student, an active researcher in complex geometry, or a mathematically ambitioned (quantum) physicist."

Location: Adaptive Cropping Systems LaboratoryTitle: Limitations to soybean photosynthesis at elevated carbon dioxide in free-air enrichment and open top chamber systems) Author
Submitted to: Plant Science
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 1/20/2014
Publication Date: 9/1/2014
Citation: Bunce, J.A. 2014. Limitations to soybean photosynthesis at elevated carbon dioxide in free-air enrichment and open top chamber systems. Plant Science. 226:131-135. Interpretive Summary: The stimulation in crop yields with rising atmospheric carbon dioxide depends primarily on the amount of increase in photosynthesis. The amount of stimulation in photosynthesis at elevated carbon dioxide depends on which biochemical component of the photosynthetic system limits photosynthesis. These experiments tested which component was limiting in soybeans grown under field conditions at an elevated carbon dioxide concentration using two different carbon dioxide enrichment systems. The results will be of interest to scientists attempting to maximize crop yields at future atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.
Technical Abstract: It has been suggested that the stimulation of soybean photosynthesis by elevated carbon dioxide concentration was less in free-air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) systems than in open top chambers (OTC). However, this has not been tested using the same cultivars grown in the same location. We tested the hypothesis that soybean photosynthesis at high light and elevated carbon dioxide (ambient + 180 ppm) was limited by electron transport in FACE systems but by ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylation capacity in OTC. We also compared FACE systems with daytime and continuous carbon dioxide enrichment. The results indicated that in both cultivars examined, midday photosynthesis at high light was always limited by ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylation capacity, both in the FACE and in the OTC systems. Daytime only carbon dioxide enrichment did not affect photosynthetic parameters or limitations, but did result in significantly smaller yields in both cultivars than continuous elevation. Photosynthesis measured at low photosynthetic photon flux density was not higher at elevated than at ambient carbon dioxide, because of an acclimation to elevated carbon dioxide which was only evident at low measurement photon flux density. This type of acclimation of photosynthesis to elevated carbon dioxide could substantially reduce daily canopy photosynthesis, and should be accounted for in soybean crop simulation models.

What a week it's been. Amongst the buckets of rain, pub crawling, Batman sightings and free t-shirts there was in fact a little injection of Drupal to the Greater London area in the form of DrupalCon 2011; we thought what better way to round it up than an interview with Robert Castelo, Drupal wizard and organiser extraordinaire.
Tell us about how you first got started with Drupal
I started using Drupal in 2004, when I got fed up with clients calling me up to change text on their sites and was looking for a CMS. First time I saw Drupal.org I thought it was really ugly and I didn't understand most of what it was talking about, but after trying out several other systems it made sense and I could see Drupal was very well thought out.
What's your fondest Drupal memory or project over the past 12 months?
I'm very proud of the work we've done on www.sagepay.com. A lot of Drupal developers regularly use the knowledge base on the site, and have told me that being able to quickly get to the information they need has saved them a lot of time.
What's the question you're asked most about Drupal?
Number one question for a while has been "When will Drupal 7 be released". The launch of Drupal 7 in January was huge for the Drupal community, and has been adopted faster than any previous version.
What's the best thing about arranging and attending UK Drupal meetups?
It's very rewarding when a couple of months after an event someone tells me that attending convinced them to give Drupal a go, and that it's opened up a successful new career for them. Also it's always a lot of fun to meet so many of the smart people that make up the Drupal community.
What were you most looking forward to about DrupalCon London?
At the last DrupalCon Amatai Burstein's gave the best presentation I've ever seen. I was really looking forward to his DrupalCon London talk. As always I was also looking forward to the keynote speech by Dries Buytaert, Drupal's founder, which gives an overview of the past 6 months and where we're going.
What was your favourite moment of DrupalCon 2011?
My favourite moment was when @waako and @mysty turned up dressed as Henry VIII and Napoleon to lead the Great DrupalCon London Pub Crawl – kudos for having amazing costumes and being great guides! Thanks also to Ubelly for co-organising and making it so much fun.
