FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Friday, Dec. 19, 2008
The Hudson Valley Community College ice hockey team is off to their best start ever. They finished the first semester 11 - 1 overall and 6 - 0 in Region III play and are currently ranked second in the latest NJCAA National Rankings.
This season, the Vikings have enjoyed a high powered offense, boasting six players with 10 or more points. Freshman forward Charles Britt (West Valley HS/ Fairbanks, AK) leads the attack with 19 total points. Sophomore co-captain Paul Chamberlain (Niskayuna HS/ Niskayuna) leads all players with 14 assists and 17 total points. Freshman forwards Mike Walsh (LaSalle Institute/ East Greenbush), Pat Simmons (Lynn Classical/ Lynn, MA), Brendan Costin (Lynnfield HS/ Lynnfield, MA) and Sean Starvish (East Windsor HS/ East Windsor, CT) have each chipped in with double digit points.
Their solid defensive core has also contributed to their early success. Sophomore captain Nicholas Kemp (El Segundo HS/ El Segundo, CA) has logged heavy minutes in all but two games this season, heading up a lineup of reliable freshman. Michael Salas (Miami Palmetto HS/ Miami, FL), Joshua Jaquish (Willsboro Central HS/ Willsboro), Andrew Ojeda (Suffern HS/ Suffern) and Brendan Johnson (Ogdensburg Free Academy/ Ogdensburg) have added to the team's defensive efforts thus far.
The Vikings are strong in net, starting with sophomore Kevin Bowdidge (Stoneham HS/ Stoneham, MA). Bowdidge leads the team in all goaltending categories including five wins, a save percentage of .949, and a goals against average of .88 in 273 minutes. Bowdidge's goals against average is currently second in the nation. Second year goaltender Jonathan Morales (Grossmont HS/ San Diego, CA) also features an undefeated record at 4- 0 and freshman Justin Barnard was solid in two games at Monroe Community College, giving the Vikings their first win over the Tribunes since 2002.
The team returns to action for a two game set verse the Erie Community College Kats starting on Friday, Jan. 9 at 7 p.m. at the Conway Ice Arena. This is the first of three meetings between the two teams.

Full White House: Barack Obama's mother-in-law moves in
Wed Jan 14 2009
If your mother-in-law said she was moving into your place, would you object? Michelle Obama begged her mom to come live at the White House and the President elect is reportedly okay with this. A word of counsel to the first family from someone who lived with her mother: Tread ever-so-lightly. I know your new digs are large, so that should alleviate the discomfort of being in each other's faces every time you turn a corner. But don't rely on that alone to establish independence. When my daughter arrived, my mother moved in for the first year. I went back to work and was completely reliant on her. But expecting my mother to abide by my rules was a joke. No sweets? My mother yes'd me over and over, and as soon as I was out of sight, she proceeded to do what she thought was right, which included stuffing tiny pieces of cake in my baby's mouth on a daily basis. Judging by what Michelle's mom, Marian Robinson, has said about her daughter's rules, looks like the White House will soon become Grandma's House. "The 8:30pm bedtime? That's ridiculous!" Robinson told The Boston Globe last year. "The TV-for-an-hour rule? That's just not enough time. I have candy, they stay up late. When they come to my house, they watch TV as long as they want to, we'll play games until the wee hours. I do everything that grandmothers do that they're not supposed to." Good luck enforcing house rules, Barack and Michelle. I bet you'll have more success in forging peace the Middle East.

My X201 tablet stopped connecting to the internet via a bluetooth connection with a Blackberry Bold. The bluetooth connection works, but I get as far as:
Bluetooth Phone and Operations Settings
"Use your phone ([]) to connect to the Internet" Connect

In the "Dial" box it says "*99***4#" (I have no idea where this number came from or what it should be, if this is not correct).
I click "Dial"
It says "opening port"

Costume Information
|Awards :
|D-Con first place masquerade
|So I've been a fan of RvB for ages, loved playing Halo. Sarge just struck me as a rather fun character and when I came across the 405th I decided what the hell, I'll try building this!
Was worn for 5 hours solid while walking about 3-4 miles around Edinburgh city during the Fringe Festival.
Also worn for the release of Reach! At which point it ended up being trashed and needs a near full rebuild...
And it had the rebuild a bit, went out to D-Con 2011 with two others in Spartan/ODST gear and won first place at the masquerade with the other two :)
lookin like a sexy mufukka man :) get that fukken costume to an event!
Thanks dude! Trying to find something up here I can get to. Edinburgh Fringe and the local Furry Con seem my best options for the mo...
WOW! Amazing! ^^ kinda have question what are you using to make it D: i know have like paper/card template! but what do you put on after that to make it stronger O__O ?
Thanks! Well the initial frame is 200gsm card which I then painted with fiberglass resin, when that dried I lined the inside with fiberglass mat and resined that. Then on the bits I wanted smoothed I used car body filler
Mwaha, you are going to pwn. The neds will be shaking in their addidas!
tyvm Phix! I can but hope :D
Looks awesome. One question: How's your Sarge voice? :P
lol thanks. Well I can do it a bit, just not for long periods ;)
Looking good :D
Thanks :) Just glad to finally get the visor stuck in there!
you sir are my hero!
BAH!! XD *chokes*
Progress looks ace! Cant wait to see this finished!
All you need now is Caboose for RvB times xD
Omg! this is win...wow its amazing!!
Ace work so far. really can't to see it done. DX
@Codename: Thanks man! Just doing what I can!
@Bambi: heheh thanks, so nearly there! I'd love to run into a Caboose, if any of my mates build I'm going to try and persuade them...
@Sachi: Thankyew, just lots and lots of time spent folding! Looks rougher in person I feel ;)
that is so awesome ^0^
Your welcome ~ also can i ask what you used to make this?
also if you run into Caboose, i wont be far behind you haha~! Still find this epic. Your progress gets better and better everytime i look.
@Spicecake: Thanks!
@Sachi: It's a papercrafted suit, cardboard cut out and folded/glued in the shape of the game model. It's then re-inforced inside with fiberglass and some of the outside was coated with car body filler, sanded smooth with a mouse-sander then painted
This looks absolutely awesome so far, I'm totally watching this for when it's complete. <3
@My_Road thankyew! Hopefully should be ready and out in it in the next two weeks at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival :D
Oh my christ that is looking Savagly Sexy! come to MCM in october or may! that is SICK!! it looks as if you have pulled it right out of Halo, also send a photo too redVSblue =D

"Glory glory to the Red team~"
You have no idea how happy this makes me xD And it's looking amazing! makes me wish I still had all my odst stuff :/
Keep up the good work!
heheheh, got to love Sarge!
Glad to hear! And thanks! Last few touches to put on this week and I'll be out around Edinburgh :)
Your ODST stuff was cool, what happened to it?
Well my parents took it up for me and the other ODST'er, and we didn't really have the room to take it all back ourselves this time :/ so we had to chuck most of it, kept the helmets and a few small pieces just in case we want to re-do it though ^^;
Never know, I might try and make caboose one day xD;
Awww darn! Ach well if you do Caboose we should do a double act ;)
Deal :)
By the power of win! That's awesome =D
I promise I won't try to take the shotgun... for my own good...
tyvm Anggul, should have completed photos up soon!

Thanks Sachiko! To be honest up close it has little flawws that stand out a lot to me, the fold lines are visible in alot of it so I want the next to be much smoother. But then people down the street didn't seem to notice ;)
That guy lent you a dirk to make the fight "fairer"? :P Any Spartan could kill that man with their bare hands! :P

At Diana E Kelly, we pride ourselves on making everyday happenings a little more indulgent. This is why we have licensed the 80-year-old company, Key West Sandal Factory and are launching it into the gift industry. Our hope is that every piece that is purchased from this collection will have that island feel and make you feel like "every day is a getaway."
Key West Sandal Factory is an iconic, American brand that was established in 1932 and is the oldest sandal factory in the US. We are redeveloping the brand into lifestyle collections that will transcend generations across the globe. We have spent countless hours creating the most beautifully unique yet versatile prints to create scarves, hats, jewelry and of course sandals that one can enjoy in their day to day routine.
Being born and raised in Florida, Diana has always been inspired by the tropical climate and vacation atmosphere. It was just a natural fit to pick up such an intrinsically Florida brand. Family vacations in the Keys gave her insight to the styles that are practical, stylish and classic for the location. We believe mixing the tradition of Old Key West with a new, fresh, updated look is a dynamite combination for the gift industry. Beyond watching a sunset light up the sky or taking a stroll along the beach, this is a lifestyle brand with products that are capturing those moments in time.
We hope you have as much fun wearing pieces from our island-inspired collections as we did creating the product. Happy shopping and as always, make everyday a getaway!

Yeah, I agree. I believe some people are just upset all the time and just like to cause trouble. My first wife was like that. However, I commend your actions to deescalate the situation.
This is a discussion on Road rage: Are some people just born upset? within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Had an incident yesterday, I was in the inside lane of a double left turn and when the light turned green I made my turn. ...
Had an incident yesterday, I was in the inside lane of a double left turn and when the light turned green I made my turn. After completing the turn I hear a blaring horn to my right and the driver next to me is gesturing and obviously screaming something and swerves toward me. Then she jams on the brakes and slides behind me and rides my bumper. Fortunately there was an intersection ahead and I did a quick lane change and made a left turn and continued to my destination one street over. I dont know what set her off but it seems some people just look for anything to cause an altercation.

A CCW is like a parachute; if you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.
Short answer.........yes. The rest of them are just unhappy with life in general. Not necessarily a genetic pre-disposition. It's more of a conditioned response to an ever increasingly invasive world. Knowing your enemy is one of the best ways to combat him or avoid him. I've got plenty of tales to tell about being on the road. I've been on both sides of the pavement so-to-speak. Road rage is a crime these days in a lot of places. Use that to your advantage when you experience something like that. It's somewhat of a disease the way I see it.Road rage: Are some people just born upset?
Now.....if your doing 10 miles an hour under the speed limit, then I'm going to pass you no matter what. Please don't stick your finger out the window at me for your problem. 9 out of 10 law enforcement officers will tell you that going less than the posted speed limit determines some form of inhibition. I'm just saying. I'd rather take care of things myself as opposed to using my cell phone. It is what it is. Impeding the normal flow of traffic is against the law. I'm just sayin'. LOL!
Yes. That's a very import lesson to learn, early on. Most situations have nothing to do with actions we'll have done, and yet such people will get bent anyway. Either they're wishing for a life in prison, or they're wishing that life would grade according to ass-holiness, or they're wishing that "success" and "respect" came via other methods than they do in the real world. Whatever, such people were born to take things badly. My goal: to stay out of their crosshairs, always.Are some people just born upset?
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Road rage is something everyone experiences one way or another. After sixteen years of professional driving, these are my Rules on the Road:
Rule 1: Drive safely. Pay attention to what you are doing. Obey traffic laws. Make sure YOU are not the one causing the problem.
Rule 2: Be courteous. Allow other traffic to merge. Let faster moving traffic pass. Be a gentleman(woman).
Rule 3: Stay calm. You choose how you react to any situation. Anger, fear and frustration clouds judgement and leads to bad outcomes.
Personally, I usually just try to let them go on about their business and hope they don't kill some one. I have only had three occasions when I felt it necessary to call 911 for road rage.
Glad it turned out OK.

The classic case was this one out of Birmingham, AL. Ended with one suburban housewife shooting the other in the face. The shooter got 13 years. You don't think that she got up that morning planning to gun down another motorist. Some people get weird behind the wheel. Like some freaky Jekyll and Hyde thing.
"It may seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first."
Yep. I've come to expect the worst from other people on the road so I don't have unrealistic expectations. Avoid them, let them go, and just wave like they're your buddy when they're flipping you off. You can't control how they act, but you can control how you react. Don't give them the satisfaction of reacting how they would want you to.
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
You did the correct thing in ignoring and disappearing.
Deescalating the situation is the only thing one can do, any confrontation at all is a lose/lose situation.
Sometimes it's very easy to react, but it usually just makes things worse.

I also think that a general anxiety in our country adds fuel to an already potent mix........ if I remember correctly, I heard on the news that 1 out of every 10 homes is in foreclosure. I have not lost my house, but back when diesle was $5+ a gal and I was looking for an additional job, I was feeling pretty scared and concerned. If 1 in 10 people out there driving are in the active process of losing their homes (and probably their vision of "the American Dream", well---fear, uncertainty and frustration can't be very far beneath the surface. Not excusing road rage, but its a crazy time we are living in.......

" Are some people just born upset?" YES, I think.
And others just learn to be impatient and angry and combative as they go through life. That is one of the by-products of our competitive way of life.
The ones who can keep it under control remain alive and stay out of jail. The other, sooner or later it catches up to them.
You have just witnessed the end result of sparing the rod and spoiling the child.

Bethany's Bio
I started my journey as a caregiver more than 22 years ago as a teenager caring for my grandfather after he had an aortic valve replaced and a quad bypass. He has suffered a mild stroke, a TIA which caused me to take him the the Dr. They admitted him to the hospital for what ended up being 3 months. I went to the hospital everyday for 3 months with my grandmother who didn't drive at the time. When he was released I card for him until he was able to do things for himself. This incident prompted me to work in a nursing home an train to be a nurses aide. Since then I have cared for both of my grandparents until their passing as their Power of Attorney and not missing a single doctors visit with them from age 16 until the end of their lives. I learned a lot about Alzheimer's, heart disease , and how to talk and treat our aging treasures with dignity along the way. I am certified in CPR, AED, and first aid. I was certified as a HHA and above all, I enjoy, respect an appreciate the elderly population. I have references and I have background checks! I am a good cook, I don't mind doing laundry, light cleaning, transporting to doctors visits, or running errands. Let me know your needs and how I may be able to help! I look forward to hearing from you!

Justin flew to San Juan to join Selena on her We Own The Night tour and HollywoodLife.com has the full scoop on their intimate date!
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are madly in love! HollywoodLife.com spoke with an eyewitness who tells us that Justin and Selena ate at Pikayo, an upscale restaurant inside the Conrad Condado Plaza Hotel and Casino, where they stayed!
"They seemed really happy together," our insider tells us. "They were by themselves and they each ate the Bistec Encebollado."
Isn't it cute how they order the same thing! The dish is a classic Puerto Rican plate made by the restaurant's famous chef Wilo Benet. It's thinly sliced beef tenderloin, with sauteed onions and pikayo fries — yum!
After their date, which was immediately following Selena's unbelievable concert, the two headed back to their hotel. We're told the most expensive room at the hotel is the King Grande Ocean Suite which runs $689 a night and we know they like nothing but the best!
Justin flew over 6,000 miles just to be by Selena's side. He hopped on a plane Jan. 23 to head back to LA to continue working on his new album. Now Selena heads to Panama and she'll wrap the Latin American leg of her tour on Feb. 11.

Fluid leaking from your 2008 Mercury Mariner can indicate serious problems or nothing at all - it all depends on what is leaking. Be vigilant with fluid leaks of any type as running your 3.0 liter engine on low or empty fluid of any type can ruin your engine, transmission or other vital (and expensive!) components in your Mariner. The video above will show you how to figure out what type of fluid is leaking from your Mariner. This can be difficult if the fluid is on pavement, so we recommend putting some paper down to better determine the color of the leaking fluid and where it is leaking from.
Remember, fluid leaks in you Mariner may or may not be serious, but it is important to figure out what is leaking and how much.

Cleaning procedure
Most people assume warm air from their A/C unit means it's low on refrigerant. That's not always the cause. Many times, window and through-the-wall A/C units can't blow cold air because the evaporator and condenser coils or cooling fins are clogged. Professional cleaning costs over $100. But you can do the entire job yourself in about an hour with a few dollars in supplies. If cleaning doesn't do the trick, you can always call in a pro (or buy a newer, more efficient unit). Here's how to clean your A/C unit.
First remove the plastic filter holder/trim panel. It usually snaps off. Then remove it from the window or slide it out of the wall (get help—it's heavy).
If you're working on a window unit, remove the mounting frame and the case. The case screws are usually located along the bottom edge. Note the location of any odd-length screws since they have to go back in the same spots upon reassembly.
Then straighten the bent cooling fins with a fin comb (Photo 1). The Frigidaire fin comb kit shown here is cheap and fits most brands of air conditioners.
Buy two cans of A/C coil cleaner (one brand is AC-Safe No. AC-920 from homedepot.com). Vacuum all visible buildup from both coils (Photo 2). Then spray both coils with the cleaner (Photo 3). While the foam works, clean the fan blades with household cleaner and a rag. If the fan motor has plastic- or rubber-capped oiling ports, pop them and squeeze in a few drops of electric motor oil (pros use the Zoomspout oiler from zoomspoutoiler.com).
Wash (or replace) the air filter and reinstall the unit. It just might blow a lot cooler. If not, you have other problems!

Metroid: Other M (Wii) Review
Title: Metroid: Other M
Publisher: Nintendo
Developer: Project M
Genre: Action-Adventure
Players: 1
Rated: T for Teen
(Note: This copy of Metroid: Other M was a review copy given by Nintendo.)
I didn't have a problem with the Metroid: Prime series, but I've always been a fan of the third person games in the series. So, I was particularly interested in Metroid: Other M.
Combining both the third and first person sounded good in theory to let Samus battle enemies and explore at the same time. In implementation, it's good too, but there are a few small problems that can hinder the overall experience.
Before I get into the gameplay, though, I want to set the story of the game. The game takes place immediately after Super Metroid, with Samus mourning the loss of the baby Metroid. After getting debriefed on the mission and flying around, she encounters a Mother's Cry distress call from a ship that she investigates.
While there, she meets up with some Galaxy Federation soldiers, some of which she knows, such as Adam (the same Adam from Zero Mission). Samus agrees to help them, and the main part of the game finally kicks in.
Most of the game is played in third person by holding the controller sideways. It plays on a 2D plane, but Samus can move up and down on it. While in this control style, she can dodge attacks, charge her blaster and go into ball mode. While shooting, Samus auto-locks onto the nearest enemy to attack.
There was one main problem I noticed while in this mode: her turning is stiff. The main reason for this was the D-Pad, which wasn't made for games like this. An analog stick would have been much better for controlling Samus.
The other view that you'll use in the game is by pointing the Wii Remote at the screen. This will make the view go first person. This view is the only way you can lock onto an enemy and fire a missile, and also lets Samus find key items in certain sections.
The biggest drag during the sections where this is needed is that Samus can't move around. Sometimes you're stuck trying to fire a missile at an enemy while attacks are coming in at you. While trying to find something, it can sometimes take a while to find out the exact thing the game wants you to find.
Now that the two play styles are out of the way, I want to mention some of the other new features in the game. Players don't have to worry about finding missiles and health in the game to replenish their supply. Instead, players can hold the remote straight up and hold A to replenish missiles fully and to replenish your health a full bar if you're almost dead in a mode called Concentration.
Another new feature is that Samus can fully charge her blaster and jump on an enemy's head to blast them at point blank range for more damage. Sometimes, this will also down enemies and will let her perform a lethal strike. The strike is a short cutscene that has Samus instantly killing the opponent.
Speaking of cutscenes, that's another new thing for the series: lots of cutscenes. The cutscenes tell some of Samus' backstory, along with explaining what happens on the ship. During these scenes, Samus actually talks. She has a good voice, but it just seems weird that Samus actually talks and isn't silent like she always has been.
Now that I've mentioned some of the better features that have been added, I want to talk on one that annoyed me. You don't have to find Samus' powers in the game. Instead, Samus has all of them, but won't use them until Adam authorizes it.
While I understand that this basically replaces the item finding, it just bugs me that sometimes items aren't given to you until much later than needed. My big complaint here is during your first time at the lava world (Sector 3). You make it through quite a bit of the lava world that slowly drains your health before finally getting the Varia suit to cancel the health loss out.
Not everything has been changed about Metroid, though. You still save and get maps from save rooms, and starting at these rooms can give you a brief update on what you had done up to that point. You can also find expansions to your health and missiles throughout the game. The game also encourages backtracking to open doors to get power-ups.
A lot of enemies you fight in game are from previous games in the series as well, including a boss battle with Ridley. Also, as a quick side note, make sure you go back to the game after beating the final boss. There's a bit more of the game to play after it.
Graphically, the game looks really good. The environments in each sector differ quite a bit, and you sometimes forget that you're on a ship until you see some metal in areas. Samus looks nice, as does the members of the Galactic Federation.
The music is also great. It keeps the suspense going as you walk through areas, and really helps keep the flow of the game going. The voices also sound good. But, as mentioned earlier, it's still weird to hear Samus talking.
The 411:
The third person sections in Other M are great. While the first person sections can suffer due to aiming when moving the Wii Remote, it doesn't hinder the game any. Another thing that may annoy Metroid fans is having Adam authorize the use of weapons. But, when you think of it like trying to find the weapons in other Metroid games, it's about the same thing.
Overall, Metroid fans should definitely pick this game up to see the continuation after Super Metroid. Wii owners ought to check this out as well for a solid Wii title that's a lot of fun to play.
|The graphics are great. The areas vary quite a bit, as do bosses. Samus also looks really good during gameplay and during cutscenes.
|The third person sections are good, beside some minor D-Pad issues. The first person sections can sometimes slow the game down a bit, but the gameplay is still solid.
|As weird as it is to hear Samus, the voice acting for her and the rest of the crew is good. The music in the various areas is also nice to listen to.
|Lasting Appeal
|Besides the main game, you can collect all power-ups like in previous Metroids. Besides this, not much else can be done after the game.
|Fun Factor
|Battling Ridley and using some of Samus' memorable weapons were a lot of fun that the first person sections didn't hamper.

Mmmm fall. I need fall.Delete
I am a massive fan of potato and leek soup. I've never considered adding nutritional yeast before. Toally giviing it a go today. I sometimes substitute onions for leeks with little discernible difference too.ReplyDelete
Also (and I hope I'm not being intrusive), it's lovely to see you so happy lately. I was one of the people who commented that your writing had changed when you were with Alex and you definitley "sound" like yourself again :)
The cooler air advises me to get wrapped in something warm from the outside. Leek potato soup will warm me up from inside. I hope to find some garbanzo beans in my local store. Can't wait.ReplyDelete
I have made the half pureed/half chunky version several times and I HIGHLY recommend the cold version! I love to eat cold leftovers of dinners for breakfast the next day (because I really can't stand most breakfast foods) and oh my, this hits the spot. Especially with lots of garlic.ReplyDelete
Yum! I had not thought of adding garbanzos, but YUMM again!ReplyDelete
That looks great! I've made something similar before in my crock pot. It's nice to get ideas for variations :).ReplyDelete
Sweet recipe, I love potato & leek soup but hadn't considered adding chick peas (and I must admit, you are making me curiouser and curiouser about this nutritional yeast stuff)ReplyDeleteReplies
dude. get nutritional yeast. you won't regret it. its yummy yummy and full of b vitamins!Delete
Just got my first leeks of the season in my CSA box... Looks like I have this weekend's menu half planned!ReplyDeleteReplies
it's meant to be ;)Delete
Ahh! If only I had seen your recipe BEFORE I made a different recipe! I just made soup last night and it was not very good...it was missing something (my husband said bacon, but I'm sure that's not it ;) Next time I will follow yours!ReplyDelete

I love all your recipes, they have become staples in my house and I have learned that vegan doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Thank you for posting, and please keep em coming esp what Marlow eats (gives me ideas to feed my two).ReplyDelete
Making this tonight <3 First leeks of the year!ReplyDelete
Just about to go with your recipe BUT THERE'S BUTTER IN IT! That's NOT vegan!!! Any way around that with a substitute?ReplyDeleteReplies

st: Inequality Restrictions with CLogit
Sat, 2 May 2009 12:24:06 -0700
I am trying to estimate a simple logit binary discrete choice model
using clogit. For example, utility for person i from option j is
given by
U(ij) = b1*x1(ij) + b2*x2(ij) + e(ij)
where the error e is distributed Type 1 Extreme Value. Currently, in
my data, I am receiving a nonsensical negative sign on b1—I would like
to restrict the maximum likelihood estimation to have b1 be positive.
I came across the following post on maximum likelihood (ML) estimation
with interval constraints, which seems fairly related:
It seems that, while inequality restrictions are not directly built
into STATA, one can implement them by replacing b1 with exp(c):
U(ij) = exp(c)*x1(ij) + b2*x2(ij) + e(ij)
and then estimating c and b2, as the expression exp(c) will always be
My question is: How would one actually program this in practice using
clogit? Can one actually use clogit with this, or is it necessary to
use ML?
To get some data to see the issue at hand, one can do:
webuse lowbirth
clogit low lwt smoke, group(pairid)
How could one restrict the coefficient on lwt to be positive? (I have
no idea for this data if this restriction would make sense.)
Thanks a lot!

About Malta and Gozo
Information about Towns & Villages
• Do you need a visa to travel to Malta?
• Books about Malta, travel guides, history, etc
• Use our Currency Converter for latest exchange rates.
Therefore we will limit ourselves to some pictorial highlights and basic facts and figures on these charming islands, more detailed information would require much more space than available on this web page!
Popular travel and country guides are available which provide comprehensive write-ups about Malta's colourful history, traditions, tourist attractions and population.
| Malta is approximately 17 miles long, and 9 miles
wide, while the island of Gozo is roughly 9 miles by 5, but while Malta
has a population of 345,000 the corresponding figure for Gozo is only
about 30,000. The Maltese Islands are just 60 miles from Sicily, and 180
miles from the African continent. Thus
Malta's history and language is more
easily understood given its position, which up to the Second World War
was considered as strategic.
Malta has several of the oldest known temples in the world still standing and in an excellent state of preservation, which indicates that it was inhabited since the earliest times and was at various periods of time, occupied or inhabited by Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, French, and English, was the official home of the Knights of the Order of St.John (better known as the Knights of Malta), during which period a concerted attempt was made to invade the country by the Turks.
Thus one will find that the Maltese Language is quite unlike any other, being a mix of influences over the centuries. However, one can state that apart from Maltese, 95% of the population can speak English, a considerable number Italian, and smaller numbers understand various other major languages.
|The Maltese Islands are economically, socially and culturally well developed despite their small size, and one does not feel like one is visiting a backwards nation at all, although using the notorious local roads would have you believe otherwise! All modern conveniences are available, and the Maltese generally enjoy a good standard of living, similar to their European neighbours. But now, for some of those promised photographs...

Do you need a visa to travel to Malta?
It is recommended that you check any visa requirements before travelling, especially from a non-EU country. Click here for more information about whether you will be needing a visa for your Malta holiday.

Today, the DREAM Act was Blocked in the U.S. Senate - a Motion to Proceed to a Full Debate on the Bill Received 52 Votes, but 60 Were Needed.
U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) released the following statement:
"The students this legislation would help love the United States, which might be the only home they've ever known - so they've followed the rules, worked hard in school and now they want to serve this country in the military or get a higher education," said Sen. Menendez. "They did not make the decision to enter this country in an undocumented fashion, their parents made that decision. We should not punish children for the sins of their parents. Those children that would qualify for the DREAM Act should be permitted to continue their pursuit of the American Dream.
"The opponents of this reasonable, bipartisan measure cried amnesty', as they always do. But this was not amnesty. No child would receive a free ticket to legalization. They would have had to meet a number of qualifications and jump through a series of significant hoops on their six-year path to legalization. And, along the way, they would receive the kind of education that would bolster the American workforce or they would serve the United States military, which badly needs highly-qualified, dedicated volunteers. If the United States Senate cannot even agree to move forward with legislation that is good for our children, good for our economy, and good for our military, I see no way that we will be able to move forward with immigration initiatives that benefit only the business community.

This is inspired by the discussion of laybacks in the Mirai thread and also a lingering issue I have with Alissa Czisny's camel spin. It doesn't look right to me. I mentioned this in another thread once and was informed that Alissa's spins are simply the bee's knees... but hey, it's the off season, so let's discuss it.
If I compare Alissa's spin at Worlds with Miki's (which I think is beautiful) I see a completely different upper body position. Alissa is facing down with one shoulder higher than the other and her leg, consequently, is fairly turned in. Also, her supporting leg is noticeably bent. Miki is facing out, her shoulders are quite square, and her supporting leg is almost perfectly straight. No contest, as far as I'm concerned.
Alissa's camel at c. 1:35:
Miki's camel at c. 2:30:
Anybody disagree? Who thinks Alissa's camel is better than Miki's and why? Who else is great or problematic here?

The Transformation of Genesys, Part II
Genesys' iWD solution is helping generate customer excitement and revenue in enterprise--versus contact center--applications, which is one of the goals of the reorganization.
As discussed in Part I, the transformation of Genesys can be seen to be taking place on both organizational and product levels. Future combination of the architectures of the Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise and Genesys portfolios remains in the planning stages, with only a very preliminary look offered at the meeting last week. The product transformation that I refer to is Genesys' slow move beyond the contact center into the enterprise. This transformation began several years ago, was the impetus for the Conseros acquisition about a year ago and is for me the proof point that a Genesys/ALU Enterprise combination makes sense.The product at the center of this transformation is intelligent Workload Distribution (iWD), until 2009 branded Business Process Routing. Based on how it is marketed and the value customers place in it, one could easily categorize iWD as Communications Enabled-Business Processes (CEBP). The one difference between this CEBP solution and many that the industry have been discussing for years is iWD/BPR started bearing real revenue fruit in the past two years. While I can't disagree with Zeus Kerravala's No Jitter post, where he labels CEBP as one of the Not Hot technologies for 2010, there are exceptions to every rule and iWD would seem to be an exception.
Why am I focusing so much discussion on one solution? Because as I listened to over 12 hours of analyst meeting content, it was to me a repeated, and unifying, theme. It started with the CFO's comment that iWD has a dramatic pull-through effect in licenses for additional Genesys applications. Then the CMO remarked that 75% of iWD sales combine front and back office and one third of the contracts in 2009 were to accounts new to Genesys. And discussion of an iWD deployment of thousands of licenses to a "North American Big Box Retailer" that reportedly had "nothing to do with contact center."
All of this was capped off by the very last presentation of the meeting, a presentation by Bill Boga, Sr. Technology Architect of Kaplan, the education arm of the Washington Post. Boga could not have been more glowing in his praise of iWD, which he said is used to automate the prioritization and distribution of tasks to the most suitable advisor. Today, those are leads that are uploaded to iWD from the CRM system using web services between the two solutions. This allows Kaplan to automate adherence to a communication plan and end-to-end process. Though the iWD deployment is limited to certain departments today, Boga sees the applications for iWD in Admissions, Financial Aid, Student Accounts, Academic Advising, Help Desk, and Provisioning--none of which are traditional "contact center" applications.
In the broader scheme of communications-enabling applications at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Applications, Genesys' iWD may eventually play a minor role. But for now, it's helping generate the customer excitement and revenue in enterprise--versus contact center--applications that is certainly one of the goals of the Alcatel-Lucent/Genesys reorganization.Genesys' iWD solution is helping generate customer excitement and revenue in enterprise--versus contact center--applications, which is one of the goals of the reorganization.

Who'd have thought it? The Prince of Darkness, scourge of the angry trade unions for chopping thousands of jobs at underperforming private equity-backed companies, has been doing a spot of public service.
Tim Parker's track record has left him with plenty of baggage but this latest role, leading luggage maker Samsonite, comes with good news of sorts for the man on the street. His five-year turnaround of the business, aided by a sharp recovery in the travel market, has meant that state-owned Royal Bank of Scotland has got virtually everything back on a loan that had been all but given up on when the industry crashed in 2007.
"I've not done badly for the British taxpayer," says Parker, 57, beaming from beneath his trademark shock of grey curls. "This was an investment that was written down to near-zero and I think I've got back almost all of their money they originally lent. I don't imagine they are popping open the champagne over there but it's certainly much better resolved for them than they ever expected."
Parker has done pretty well too. The former boss of the Automobile Association and Kwik-Fit, whose last sojourn into public life was an unhappy stint as one of Boris Johnson's lieutenants, is sitting on a £90 million stake in Samsonite. That's on top of the £30 million he cashed in when the business was floated in Hong Kong nearly two years ago. Since then, the shares have risen by 50%, and first-quarter results last week showed that trading in America and Asia remains strong. He's making it look too easy — but isn't it time Mr Fix-It found something else to fix? Not necessarily.
"I think this is a business we can double in value over the next three or four years," he says. "It is not often you run a large company and have a significant investment in it. That is a good thing for me and a good thing for our shareholders."
Confident in his abilities, Parker is far from a typical chief executive. Today he's dressed like a rock star on holiday, in grey jeans, blue blazer and a white shirt, carrying a chocolate-brown overnight bag he had to track down to Croatia because Samsonite had discontinued it. His luggage is well-used: running Luxembourg-headquartered Samsonite involves shuttling between his Hampshire home, a European base in Belgium, Hong Kong and America, where the brand was founded 103 years ago.
"People like light bags and strong bags. If you put your bag through the conveyor system at the airport on a regular basis, you want it to last," he says, speaking from experience.
Like Parker's bags, the travel market isn't in bad shape. Airlines are still adding new routes, tickets are relatively cheap despite the high price of oil, business travel is resilient and the Asian tourist has a new-found thirst to see the world. Samsonite, which reported record turnover of £1.2 billion last year and shipped 26 million items, is on sale from Colombia to Indonesia. It has also benefited from budget airlines forever changing their baggage allowances.
"What they'd really like you to do is take two bags and stuff one of them in front of you even though it's more uncomfortable as you sit there like a sardine," father-of-four Parker says.
Last year Samsonite acquired Hartmann, once the staple luggage brand of the American president, to fill a gap at the luxury end of the market. At a cheaper price point, American Tourister is doing well selling to newly affluent travellers from India and China. More acquisitions could follow.
The job keeps Parker on the move, just as he used to follow his father, a Desert Rat, on postings to Germany and Malaysia. Politics first interested him at Oxford, but a stint as a junior economist at the Treasury during Denis Healey's chancellorship opened Parker's eyes. An MBA led him to electricals giant Thorn EMI, where he was assistant to Sir William Barlow, the chairman, who threw him head first into business.
Parker was leading Kenwood, the kettle maker, when he met his Dutch wife Therese at a conference in Dallas. When Thorn wanted to offload the business, he led a management buyout, later floating it on the stock market.
From there he moved on to Clarks, where 20 factories were closed to keep the shoemaker competitive, and car repair chain Kwik-Fit. All the while, his reputation among staff for cost-cutting — and with backers for growing profits — mushroomed.
"I don't love being unpopular, I love to get a job well done and I'm willing to be unpopular," he says, eyes narrowing. "But actually if you go around and ask people what they feel so many years later, they say we did all the right things and we are doing pretty well."
After the AA, where he repeated the trick in roadside assistance for his long-time private-equity backer CVC and earned a cool £40 million, Parker was drawn back towards politics. But the idea of being Johnson's chief executive on a token £1 salary and running Transport for London foundered within a few months when he discovered how many other deputies the mayor retained.
"Had I had the job to do, I could have done a very good job. There is a real need for effective turnaround managers across government and across the public sector but if you really want to manage something, you have got to have the authority and span of control to do it properly."
It was at that point that the Samsonite opportunity came up. CVC had badly timed its takeover, sales were sliding and shareholders might have lost control. Parker was originally drafted in to help as non-executive chairman but he jettisoned the management within two months. Headcount and shops were chopped to save money that was ploughed back into new suitcase designs and marketing. He invested $9 million of his own money.
A debt restructuring left RBS with a 30% stake in the business, which fell to 16% after the flotation when the bank raised £186 million. Last month, it sold its last shares, alongside CVC.
"We waved them a cheery goodbye and I'm still there — and greatly enjoying it," says Parker. He insists he won't be packing his bags any time soon. But that doesn't mean you won't spot him, trusty leather hold-all in his hand, heading for the business lounge on another international adventure.

When did you start training in Aikido ?

Re: When did you start training in Aikido ?
Salah Yousef
Hey everyone this is my first post here. I am from Kuwait and am 22 years old and have no experience in Aikido or any martial arts. I would like to learn both Krav Maga and Aikido for fun and self defense purposes. I was wondering am I a late guy to start in Aikido ? Plus I will learn it when I turn 24 or 25 when I move to the U.S. or Canada. Wanted to know when did you start training, I mean at what age ? how long have you been training and what is your current rank
Hi Salah
I started aikido at 33 I'm 8 years practising now and fitter than I was at 21 . the average age of beginners at our club is around 30ish so you are in no way too old to start training. in fact I think that in many ways aikido requires a bit more maturity than some other arts. it is a principle based art IMO as opposed to being very 'technique based' so a lot of patience is required to get to a point where it really works. that has been my experience anyway.
coincidentally I also took up Krav Maga for a few months this year. I enjoyed it a lot and it helped me to hone my attacks big time. my ability to strike and kick in a practical way with more flow improved a lot. many krav techniques are jujitsu based too so it compliments aikido in many ways. I did stop the Krav Maga after 5 months as for me aikido is more instinctive now and the crouched Krav fighting stance was just so different to the straight neutral stance my aikido instructor teaches. alsoI find the mindset for both arts is different. I just find the aiki mindset suits me better now. but each person will have their own likes. the main thing is to enjoy the journey and do what you find works for you.
have fun

IBM poised to boost LSU grads
Related Story
BATON ROUGE- IBM's entry into the Red Stick signals big changes at LSU.
The state will invest $14 million into the university's School of Computer Science, money that will allow the school to boost faculty numbers and increase the output of technologically sound graduates.
"It will not only impact us, computer science faculty, students, it will impact people in all sectors, so actually, when we hear the news it's hard to believe," said Bijaya Karki, Interim Division Chair for the school.
Students are excited they won't have to buy a plane ticket to get a gig with a tech company when they graduate.
"I've got a few friends of mine getting internships in Seattle and out in California. Now that we have jobs coming here, a lot of people can stay close especially when they graduate in Baton Rouge and get a job really close and IBM is probably going to want to hire them," said Randy Watson, who is graduating in May.
"If IBM like companies come to Baton Rouge, we'll have more opportunities and we'll be placed easily, instead of going outside [the state]," said Sumanth Reddy Bandi, a graduate student at LSU.
IBM will hold a job fair at the Baton Rouge Marriott on April 23rd. For more information on their hiring process click here.

Here in Bristol, it's week two of our Ferment festival. The rehearsal rooms are full of theatre-makers playing with new ideas; I'm at my desk trying to write this blogpost. I've never written one before. It's a form that's new to me, but I'm willing to give it a go. I feel a bit anxious – I'm not 100% sure of what I want to say – and I have conflicting thoughts. I also have no control over what my audience think. So maybe not too dissimilar.
The Bristol Ferment is our artist development programme, the place where we invite artists into the fold whose work we've encountered in some form and want to encourage. The idea is to find the next big (or small) thing: a place where projects can find their theatrical voice, in conversation with an audience who are discovering the work at the same time. Before Christmas we were awarded a substantial grant from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation to support the project over the next five years. This is a wonderful gift, not least because when public funding is under threat, many arts organisations feel hamstrung by an inability to take risks, artistically as well as financially. Experimentation, exploration and development aren't (usually) where the big bucks lie, but neither, I'd suggest, are they frivolities. They're essential. This kind of investment is a lifeline. It means Bristol Old Vic can genuinely engage, respond and take risks with the community of artists on its doorstep; a community who, if we get the structure right, will be feeding our future programming.
I just popped back down to our studio theatre, where a solo performer is taking the first steps towards a new dance theatre piece. It's rather beautiful: haunting and skilled. In the rehearsal room a few weeks ago, I asked him where he saw his piece going. "Well, I don't know yet," he replied. "I've done all I can on my own. Now I need to understand which road to follow from the people I am making it for." Even if audience members don't fill out their forms, the engagement happening in that space was tangible. Something interesting was going on.
Some argue that we don't need more so-called experimental or "scratch" platforms – that they're becoming an easy way for theatres to tick a box, like going on a series of first dates and never calling back. A scratch performance for its own sake can feel unsatisfying for everyone. We see Ferment as an ongoing collaboration. It's not an audition, or a chance to pitch. This fortnight alone we see the emergence of over 16 new projects. Where do they go from here? Which ones begin to make the journey from exploration to production? How can we allow audiences to guide decisions for taking projects further?
What I've learned, again and again, is that "production" can be more flexible than offering a lump of money and a week in the studio. It's the culmination of a journey, a journey that starts with an invitation into exploration and requires a leap of faith from everyone. The aim is for Ferment to be a place where audiences, artists and producers come together, leave their agendas at the door and revel in what might be possible.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
A few years back, in "The Last Taboo," MoJo's Julia Whitty wrote about the thorny issue of overpopulation—and the "conspiracy of silence" that surrounds it. The topic has become so controversial that hardly anyone (not the Vatican, lefties, conservatives, environmentalists, or even scientists) is willing to talk about it. But not everyone believes that the world has too many people. Last week, Julia was on PBS Need to Know facing off with Phillip Longman, author of the book The Empty Cradle: How Falling Birthrates Threaten World Prosperity and What To Do About It. Longman argues that not only have we solved the problem, we're actually in the midst of a precipitous population decline. Here's the segment:

While the Johns Hopkins School of Education (SOE) was established in 2007, its origins can be traced back to the 1909 founding of the university College Courses for Teachers, later renamed College for Teachers.
Focused on addressing the professional development needs of the region's educators, the School was thus defined by community outreach—primarily to urban communities—and creative, part-time programs. This mission paved the way for expanded offerings to business and technology professionals, as well as to applied research and partnership activities with the region's business, education, and governmental communities.
By 1947, the School's part-time programs were consolidated into McCoy College, later known as the Evening College and Summer Session. In 1984, the School was renamed the School of Continuing Studies, and in 1999, the School of Professional Studies in Business and Education (SPSBE), a progression reflecting its dynamic nature.
In addition to being one of the oldest academic units of the university, the School was the first Homewood unit to enroll women undergraduates, the first to offer Hopkins degrees for working professionals on a part-time basis, and the first to offer Hopkins degrees at multiple sites throughout the region; it also led the university in the evolution and implementation of part-time, flexible format programs to advance lifelong, professional learning. The School also welcomed many military men and women returning home after wartime service to pursue their education on the GI bill.
In January 2007, thanks to a generous gift from Trustee Emeritus William Polk Carey, SPSBE split into two schools: the Carey Business School and the School of Education. In the wake of the split, the School of Education found itself in the unique position of being both one of the oldest and one of the newest units at Johns Hopkins.
The School of Education quickly took its place as a national leader in education through research and teaching, and is ranked among the top graduate schools of education by U.S. News & World Report. The school, which is consistently one of the highest recipient's of funded research among graduate schools of education in the United States, typically awards more than 500 master's degrees in education annually, enrolls approximately 2,000 students, and employs approximately 70 full-time faculty. Classes are offered online and at the Baltimore Homewood, Columbia and Montgomery County campuses.
