We believe Sir R. A. Fisher was the greatest statistician ever because he was both a statistician and a scientist--a rare combination. We are therefore puzzled as to how Dr. Jones construed our comments being anti-Fisherian. Perhaps the misunderstanding arises from radical editing of the letter that we originally wrote to American Scientist. Hence, we offer the following elaboration.
In "Of Beauty, Sex and Power" (July-August 2009), Andrew Gelman and David Weakliem point out some abuses of statistics. Inadvertently, by universally equating statistical significance at the 0.05 level to real-life significance, the article also helps perpetuate perhaps the biggest abuse of statistics. A universal threshold such as 0.05 cannot possibly be applicable to all phenomena and all contexts.
Journals routinely require investigators to report whether or not the findings are statistically significant at the 0.05 level. In interpreting the results, the adjective "statistically" and the qualifier 0.05 are dropped, and the findings are reported to be "significant" or "nonsignificant." The sequence of dilution continues by describing "non-significant" findings as "chance findings," and "significant" findings as "definitive" findings.
It is irrational that an effect with P=0.051 is considered due to chance whereas an effect with P=0.049 is considered real. Both imply chance; only the degree is different. How much chance is acceptable is a risk-benefit issue and a contextual issue but not a statistical issue. To be fully informative, studies should report calculated p-value which is the probability calculated from actual data that the effect as large as actually observed, or larger, could be observed if in fact there was no effect. The risk-benefit and the consequence should then decide whether or not the effect has real-life significance.
Perhaps a couple of clinical scenarios would help drive the point home. Suppose a drug targeted at a rare and incurable cancer has shown positive results in a small clinical trial at P=0.07. A physician would probably prescribe the drug for a patient facing certain death from this cancer in spite of it being not effective at the 0.05 level. The potential benefit outweighs the risk. Conversely, suppose a drug given to living kidney donor during surgery reduced the risk of rejection by the recipient. But, in a large clinical trial, a few donors developed life-threatening complication, the effect being significant at P=0.07. Can this toxicity be ignored because P>0.05? Probably not, because the risk involves healthy volunteers and outweighs the benefit.
To our knowledge, the threshold of 0.05 to separate "real effect" from "chance" was suggested by R.A. Fisher for use in agricultural experiments, who perhaps felt that a one in twenty (5 percent) chance was reasonable to take in concluding that, for example, a fertilizer was effective when in fact it was not. To equate the consequences of erroneously concluding that a fertilizer was effective with the consequences of making a clinical decision regarding a patient with an incurable disease defies logic.
Boring in 1919 told us mathematical (statistical) and scientific (real-life) significance were two distinct phenomena [1], a point also made distinctively in the International Encyclopedia of Statistics [2]. How long will it take us to hear Boring!

The New York Academy of Sciences
Presented by Science & the City
From the pets we love to the rats we hate—the human condition is closely intertwined with animals. But while we relax at home with our pets, dedicated scientists are entering the not-always furry fray in order to learn more about how animals help shape our world.
In this event, a panel of researchers with expertise in the structure of animal societies and their survival strategies in extreme conditions will bring you tales from the field. And unlike the internet, it's not all baby pandas and elephants making friends with puppies. These animal experts will discuss the real story of studying dogs, dolphins, elephants and many others. And in the process we'll go from your backyard to the aquarium to some of the most extreme environments in the world.
*Reception to follow.
This event is part of the Mis/Adventures in Science Series.
In this three-part series you'll meet scientists whose research takes them outside the lab and into dangerous, accident-prone territory. Learn what to eat and not to eat in space, how to survive the deep freeze while still conducting research, and what happens when the animals you're studying aren't furry balls of love.
Come exploring with us!

A kidnapping and rape accused allegedly committed suicide in a police station in Rajasthan's Bharatpur district prompting police to suspend the station house officer (SHO).
Vinod, 28, accused of kidnapping and rape by a girl recently, had been arrested on Tuesday. "He was in the lockup in Kotwali police station where he hanged himself," said additional SP Bharatpur Satyendra Singh.
While the police claimed Vinod committed suicide by hanging himself from a water tap with a sheet, his family alleged he was murdered.
According to sources, the deceased was of average height while the tap was at a height of 30 inches from the floor.
This is the second custodial death in the district in the last two months.
"SHO Hira Lal was suspended and other staffers were shunted to police lines late last night," Singh said, adding that the postmortem of the body has been conducted.
A judicial enquiry has been ordered into the incident.

Youth football and avoiding concussions: Teaching a new way to hit in West Seattle
There was a time, not so long ago, when the crack of football players' helmets colliding - as tackler and ball carrier came together - was cause for celebration.
"Great hit!" we would've cheered. "That'll build character," a coach might have quipped.
In the past few years things have changed dramatically, as the dangers of repeated concussions and the long-term brain injuries that can result from those hits have become something closer scientific consensus rather than research the NFL allegedly shunned as fringe for decades.
In late August the NFL agreed to pay a $765 million settlement to 4,500 ex-players and their families for health and behavioral problems resulting from repeated hits. On Oct. 8, two investigative reporters will release their book, League of Denial, which claims the NFL intentionally downplayed the dangers of concussions for many years. PBS Frontline will air their documentary by the same name on the 8th as well.
As a result of increased scrutiny, rules and coaching changes have been made from top to bottom. At the NFL level, rules have been implemented to keep defenders from leading with their helmets as they go in for a tackle. As any football fan can attest, it's been a difficult learning curve for some pros as they've been forced to hit the big red reset button on how to approach their craft. Flags are flying as a result.
Here in West Seattle, you can see the changes at the opposite end of the spectrum where, three times a week during practice and during games on Saturdays, the next generation of football players are learning a whole new way to tackle, and coaches are relearning how to teach the game.
Youngsters here are mostly playing in the West Seattle Junior Football and Cheer (WSJFC) program, and we sat down for an interview with Director Deshawn Carter to talk about changes being implemented with his coaches and kids to reduce the concussion risk in one of America's favorite sports.
Carter has been teaching youth sports for 15 years and started up the WSJFC program in 2008 for players ranging in age from 6 to 14. He grew up in Rainier Beach, works in the recycling industry, and said he can think of no better way to spend his evenings than teaching the game he loves to the next generation.
"Coaching has changed a lot," Carter said. "Back when we were growing up you'd do the ram drill. Fifteen yards back and smack!"
Today, he said every coach in the league (which is part of the Northwest Junior Football League) has to go through USA Football (the national governing body of youth football) certification, where they learn how to teach new tackling techniques, helmet fitting, and the warning signs of a concussion.
The new tackling procedure they promote is called "Heads Up," which Carter said "changes the mentality of what coaches think, on what they've been taught. We are no longer wrapping up, we are ripping. The terminology and techniques have changed to get the head out of the equation."
According to USA Football, head up tackling using the rip method involves keeping the head up as a defender comes in for a tackle. Instead of the traditional wrap tackle, where a defender buries their head into the opposing player, wraps their arms around and brings the player down, they now keep the head up, bring the arms in and up like "double uppercuts" and "rip" the opposing player up, and then down.
"It's going to benefit in years to come," Carter said. "Everyone is getting taught the same language (at the youth level). At the kids get older then we will really see the effects on the new teaching, how football is now being taught."
"These kids are pioneers of what will become the modern-day NFL," he said.
Carter said his coaches employ far more "shadow" drills than they used to, where kids go through the motions of a proper tackle at 20, 50 and 75 percent instead of going all out. "We really showcase the technique … at such a low speed that it ingrains in the kids how to do it properly."
As for keeping an eye out for concussions, Carter said beyond knowing the standard warning signs and going through basic cognitive tests after a significant hit to the head, a new role for coaches is really getting to know the personality of their athletes.
"The relationship between coach and kid has to be a good one because you know if little Tommy is a jitterbug most of the time and then he takes a whack and he's on the sideline and acting like he's on a downer or something, something is different, something is wrong," he explained.
Despite the negative press football has received in recent years, Carter said enrollment as WSYFC continues to grow, including a 15 percent growth for this current season.
"I think it's due to us just really talking about Heads Up and talking about safety and our coaches' techniques, but the parents are definitely leery at first," he said. "When they come in there are so many more questions that are being asked which, in my opinion, is better for the game because the more informed parents are, the more they'll want their kids to play because they know the steps that we go through."
Carter said while it's important to teach young football players the new tackling technique, he believes the concussion risks at youth and junior high levels are not as high as high school, college and the pros where players get increasingly stronger and play at a faster pace.
"A concussion on this level doesn't compare to a concussion on the NFL level," he said, echoing a common believe among coaches we talked to.
As football fans across Seattle are in a rightful frenzy over their Seahawk's performance so far and a highly plausible Super Bowl run, the safety conversation will continue as more research results come in.
In late September, for example, the New York Times reported on a recent Virginia Tech-Wake Forest study that, while limited in scope, found "football players as young as 7 sustain hits to the head comparable in magnitude to those absorbed by high school and adult players."
"There is a crying need for more research," Jon Butler, executive director of Pop Warner youth football, said when shown the study. "There has been a lot of misinformation handed out."

The ACS Group is an organisation which is continually evolving, adapting to the needs of its clients and demands from society. The diversification process through which the ACS Group is passing during these years has led it to undertake a wide range of activities which approach innovation and development differently, but resolutely. Through this commitment to technological development, the ACS Group responds to the growing demand for improvements in processes, technological progress and quality of service from its clients and from society.
Its involvement in research, development and innovation are clear in its increased investment and the R&D+i efforts the ACS Group makes year after year. This effort leads to tangible improvements in productivity, quality, client satisfaction, occupational safety, the obtaining of new and better materials and products and the design of more efficient production processes and systems, among others.
The ACS Group's largest companies have governing bodies for technology, which are usually the Technological Development Committee, which leads the development of research activities in each company. The existence of this governing body or committee was reported by companies representing 89.9% of ACS Group sales in 2015.
R&D management takes place through a system which, in the largest companies and in general, follows the guidelines in the UNE 166002:2006 standard and is audited by independent specialists. There is a formal management system in companies representing 92.3% of Group sales. Furthermore, independent audits are carried out in companies representing 88.6% of sales.
This management system serves the general research strategy of each of the companies which, whatever their specific features, share the following lines of action:
- Development of strategic lines of research individualised by company
- Strategic collaboration with external organisations
- Growing and responsible investment in order to promote research and generate patents and operational techniques constantly and efficiently
Each Group company's strategic decisions on the execution of R&D projects seek to maximise the positive impact of ACS's technical and technological progress. The companies have analysis and discrimination procedures to decide which projects to undertake.
At 31 December 2015, the ACS Group had 203 projects in progress and had registered 8 patents during the year. Over the past 10 years, the Group has registered a total of 60 patents.
Furthermore, collaboration with external organisations is crucial for the success of the projects tackled. Hence ACS Group companies collaborate with research and technological centres and with universities, as well as will other diverse centres, institutes or institutions related to R&D+i. These prestigious international research institutions complement the ACS Group's own research capabilities.
The ACS Group invested a total of € 50.6 million in research, development and innovation in 2015.

Reese Witherspoon To Star In Disney Film 'Wish List'
Reese Witherspoon's childhood wishes will soon be coming true– on the big screen at least. The Water for Elephants actress has signed on to star in the Disney comedy Wish List, Deadline reports.
PHOTOS: Kate Middleton Meets Reese Witherspoon
Wish List tells the story of a little girl who makes ten wishes and throws a coin into a wishing well. The wishes don't come true, however, because the coin gets stuck and doesn't hit the bottom of the well. Twenty-five years later, the coin becomes dislodged and the now grown-up career woman faces the consequences of what happens when all of her childhood wishes finally come true.
The film is being produced by Mark Ciardi and Gordon Gray, who last worked on Disney's Secretariat together. Jack & Jill creator Randi Mayem Singer is writing Wish List's script.
Wish List was originally meant for a male lead, but is being reworked for Witherspoon, who was recently seen out and about in Brentwood, California.
What do you think of Witherspoon and Wish List? What kinds of wishes did you make as a child? Share your thoughts with us on Facebook, Twitter, or by posting in the comments section below!

A Waterville man was arrested Monday night after police say he threw his girlfriend down a flight of stairs and threatened neighbors with a box cutter.
Police say Brian Pelletier, 33, waved the box cutter and threatened to slash neighbors who tried to intervene in the fight between Pelletier and his girlfriend.
When police arrived they ordered Pelletier to drop the box cutter and they say he threw it down the flight of stairs.
"What was very problematic about that was that at the bottom of that stairwell was a juvenile who was actually the child of his girlfriend. And that knife with the open blade came just inches away from the child's face," said Charles Rumsey, Deputy Chief of the Waterville Police.
Pelletier is charged with domestic violence assault, reckless conduct and multiple counts of criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon.

The world still faces a substantial threat of a flu pandemic and countries need to speed up preparations for a global outbreak, health experts said Tuesday."We can't delude ourselves. The threat of a pandemic
influenza has not diminished," said Keiji Fukuda, coordinator for the
World Health Organization's Global Influenza Program.
Fukuda spoke to a meeting of around 150 health experts from
governments, WHO and other agencies to update WHO's pandemic influenza
preparedness plan.
Vaccine More Readily Available
Swine Flu vaccine will be ready a week earlier than expected says Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen
Sebelius. The early release date is due to the discovery of a one
dose vaccine. Like China, the United States has found a way to
vaccinate the virus with one shot for healthy adults, unlike the
previous two shot solution.
Release Date Planned for H1N1 Vaccine
Mutagens cause changes (mutations) in the genetic material of cells. Teratogens cause irreversible, deleterious structural malformations in fetuses. Some congenital malformations are so severe they result in grossly deformed fetuses. Carcinogens cause cancerous tumors with a characteristically crablike appearance.
New Spokesperson Against H1N1
The Department of Health and Human Services announced
Tuesday that they have recruited Sesame Street icon Elmo to warn
children about the Swine Flu. In the ad campaign, Elmo will tell
children how to fight H1N1 with basic health habits, such as washing
your hands and sneezing properly. Elmo and the Sesame Street cast
helped warn of the Swine Flu during the outbreak in Mexico. The joint
project between the Department of Health and Human Services, the
Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Education hope
to see the same positive results of the ads here in the U.S.
The ads will also stress the importance of a new vaccine
the government predicts will be available in mid-October. The vaccine
is currently being tested and will require two shots within a week of
each other. Unfortunately, the vaccine doesn't work with a person's
immune system immediately. Even with the shots, it will take until
November before people will be fully protected. Click the link below

Merlot. Just saying it aloud around some wine drinkers will provoke a sour face, snicker or jeer. It's almost fashionable to make fun of Merlot wines these days, not to mention a certain movie that turned Merlot "sideways" with a memorable line putting down the grape.
How did such a noble red grape fall so far? More importantly, will you consider giving this wine another chance?
The rise of Merlot
The University of California, Davis traces the origin of Merlot to an offspring of Cabernet Franc; its name comes from the French word merle, or young blackbird. There are approximately 260,000 hectares of Merlot planted around the world, making it the third most planted grape.
Merlot's origins are well established in France's Bordeaux region. There, the grape reaches great heights with some of the most heralded wines in the world. Either on its own or as part of a blend, Merlot is a king. Most folks wouldn't think of turning down a glass of Chateau Petrus or Chateau Le Pin — some of the most collectible wines in the world — yet they're primarily Merlot. Merlot ripens more quickly than Cabernet Sauvignon to provide a beautiful base wine, and it can add a soft fruit component to a blend as well.
The fall of Merlot
In the late 1980s and 1990s, Merlot was overplanted in the wrong climates just to provide juice and grapes for marketing-savvy companies needing any and all Merlot to make a dime.
The result? Below-average Merlot flooded the market. The price of buying Merlot grapes plummeted to create a frenzy of truly awful, very inexpensive wine.
The good Merlot vines were lost in a sea of boring, blueberry flavored yet tasteless bottles. That's when Merlot's reputation began to suffer. The stuff was wildly popular for a while, until people got sick of boring wine. "Anything but Merlot" became the way to order a glass of red wine at a restaurant.
Today, Pinot Noir is the most fashionable grape and is beginning to suffer the same fate as the Merlot of the 1990s. As always, the cream rises back to the top, and those hidden, good Merlot wines now are rising to the forefront of wine shop shelves and tasting bars.
With red wine weather coming to roost, now is the perfect time to reconsider this tasty grape, which goes perfectly with grilled chicken, burgers and steak. Tread carefully with the really cheap stuff, though, or look for mid-range offerings. When you find the right one, you'll be snickering because you know what others are missing.

Ghana star Michael Essien touts Afriyie Acquah's credentials for 2014 World Cup
A. Acquah
By Ameenu Shardow
Follow on Twitter @alooameenu
AC Milan star Michael Essien is backing the inclusion of youngster Afriyie Acquah in Ghana's squad for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The 22-year-old has been in superb form for Parma this term – propping up his chances of returning to the Black Stars squad for the world showpiece this summer.
On loan from German club TSG Hoffenheim, the ex Palermo man has made 19 appearances for Serie-A and has earned plaudits from his coach Roberto Donadoni for his consistent displays.
And now experienced Michael Essien believes Acquah's youth and agility could be a positive for the Black Stars at the World Cup despite facing intense competition in the midfield department to clinch one of the available 23 slots.
"I had the opportunity to get to know Acquah during one of the recent national team training camps,†Essien disclosed to BBC Sport.
"He is a player with great talent and has his head firmly on his shoulders. If he can maintain his desire to work hard and keep developing, he could become one of the future pillars of the Ghana team.
"I believe that already in Brazil he will be able to play an important role in helping us get as far as possible in the tournament."
Acquah's surge in form has complicated the selection of coach Kwesi Appiah for the tournament due to the several quality midfielders he has to chose from.
The youngster could however profit from the uncertain form of some of the key Black Stars players in recent times to make the squad for the World Cup in June.

real sabacious says:March 27, 2014 10:23 amYeah has been impressive this season but he seems to be a bit sluggish to my liking, good but he has to improve on his passing ability. He's also not good on one on one situation. I forsee the days of Badu numbered after the world cup, cofie, Dauda, Duncan, Frimpong, Chipsah and Acquah gonna be the new face of the black stars midfield. All they need is the confidence, I have been impressed by Duncan, his confidence on the field when ever he plays is superb! Not to talk of his tactical and intelligence play.
Vaky says:March 27, 2014 11:54 amI think Afriyie Acquah and Duncan qualify as good materials for this world cup. Back ups for old and experienced guys like Essien and Muntari. I hope Badu maintains his current form and improves on it too. Mohammed should recover early to build some form also. With Dede, Warris, KP Boateng, and Gyan in form it would be a masterpiece at the would cup. Go Ghana!
Zi Kalanga says:March 27, 2014 12:37 pmAlfred Duncan is better than all of them. I don't trust Akwasi Appiah
Half Plot says:March 27, 2014 12:50 pmDuncan is the best
Dr Who says:March 27, 2014 01:05 pmmore headache for AA
dennis says:March 27, 2014 02:23 pmWhy is our coach not playn wakasu at left back he will b the perfect player for dat positn at the world cup and dat will leave one slot in midfield for acquah or duncan
dennis says:March 27, 2014 02:59 pmWhy is our coach not playn wakasu at left back he is a hard tackler aggresive fast energetic a good passer of the ball and shoots well he will b the perfect solution to our aching problem the world cup is a big stage and if k asamoah played at that position at the africa cup then wakasu should b psyched up for dat position which will leave a slot in midfield for either afriyie or duncan
dennis says:March 27, 2014 04:21 pmHonestly lookn at my proposed 23 man squad there still may not b room for them in any position:fatau kwarasey adams-inkoom afful-wakasu opare-boye vorsah-jonathan sumaila-badu rabiu-essien muntari-dede adomah-k. asamoah atsu-kp warris-a. Gyan b.yiadom:there is virtually no space
Nii Bi says:March 30, 2014 08:46 pmI personally believe that the young ones should be giving the urge to prove themselves. Ghana has more than enough to prove the rest of the world what we are made up of.
dennis says:March 28, 2014 11:09 pmSolo paa tell me who does not deserve to b in the squad I will be 98% correct when the list is released
solomon says:March 28, 2014 01:52 pmIs good to share your views but no one can detect for the coach let him do what is expected of him just pray for him and the team. Just been civil tv coaches
Benito says:March 27, 2014 11:35 amIt's headache for the coach for selection in the midfield but it's a good problem.
kuukuphilly says:March 27, 2014 11:39 amThe truth is Ghana has more mid fielders than any position so is up to the coaches to determine who gets the nod.

Discussion in 'BUILDS' started by Fireproof, Nov 7, 2010.
naw she would be fine i think we will make anyone who wants vote for the classes this year that way we can enter too lol. this bike is just sick i am a total sucker for details and this one is loaded. i have seen slick's paint work mark u cant go wrong with him. oh and if you need some lines laid down on her let me know i owe you anyways.
Maybe tomorrow i'll throw a teaser picture up of some of the purple paint i have over here..........HMMM............... Actually, maybe we should keep it top secret til it's a finished bike!!!! LOL!!!!!
Not until ALL her homework is finished! :lol:
Too late, Slick. I think someone has read this by now, so the secret will be out! :lol:
How about two-tone with flames?
On a serious note, and I'm speaking for my daughter as well, thanks so very much for all the kind, encouraging words and offers of help. It is really difficult to put into words how much it means to us. The comradery on RatRodBikes sets this forum apart from anything else on the web and we feel privileged to be a part of it!
That paint scheme wouldn't be hard at all. THat purple is actually pretty close to what I have over here. I actually have a 50's pink also. It's an exact match to those pink sky king art deco repop trycycles with the full fenders on them. I can lighten it up to make it more pale like the car and less straining on the eyes.
HOW DID YOU KNOW SHE WANTED PURPLE SLICK :?: MARK THINKS I TOLD YOU I SAID I DIDN'T BUT I DON'T THINK HE BELIVES ME .MARK SOMETIMES PAINTERS JUST KNOW WHAT TO SPRAY. :mrgreen:
Greg didn't tell me? I just thought that purple I had over here would look sick on there. Lucky guess I guess? I'll dig through my stash and see what else I have in there. I have 2 6' tall fireproof (no pun intended) paint cabinets full of leftovers from old jobs i've done in the past.
it's awesome!!
like your work!
can i take your idea of the top bar opening?
Merci pour le compliment champx!

Findin' a home for "Lampy"
Thank you all again for all the compliments! I honestly appreciate it about as much as I can, which is a whole lot.
Now, onto the topic of bikes! Here I am sanding the pretty chrome off my fender to prepare it for the next step . . . the addition of a taillight!
Here is where my dad cut a couple holes in the fender on the drill press. Notice the two sharpie lines in the middle. The fender is 'bout 5" wide so we sat the sharpie on top of a 2 1/4" block, sat the fender on its side, and drew a line. Next we flipped the fender and repeated the process. This gave us the approximate center line for our cutout.
Next a Dremel with a cutoff wheel was used to cut out the areas between the two holes. Then, a drum sander in the drum press was used for finishing shaping the cutout.
Here is our handy dandy alignment tool we used to hold the taillight housing while tack welding it to the fender! It is a piece of wood that was cut to fit snugly inside this tubing. The 4 40 screws in the taillight housing were used to clamp it to the wood. Sorry we don't have a picture of it in the fender . . . At the end there is an arrow in directly the middle of the stick that will be placed in between the two sharpie lines. It helped us position it in three directions: left and right, up and down, and side to side.
Next my nice daddy Mig welded the housing to my fender . . .
Here I am smoothing down the welds with a flapper wheel.
Lampy's new home!
After grinding down the weld, we test fit the actual taillight.
It looks as snug as a bug in a rug! :wink:
Lampy beaming with happiness! I am too! :mrgreen:
Excessively awsome!
Thats awsome looks like it was ment to be there all along!
REALLY?!....... :shock: ...........REALLY?!........
you two are out of control....... I'm calling the police :lol:
you two are killing me. killing me I tell you. wow.
This is the bestest father/child project ever!
Great job on the build so far. It's great to check back each day and see what progress has been made. I can't wait to see you sitting on the finished bike!
I do have a question, though. How to you turn Lampy on? :?:
Do you just reach up under the fender and push the button? Or did you rig up some sort of switch to turn it on?
Knowing how creative you have been with everything so far I can imagine some custom tubing welded to the underside of the fender with wiring running through it - leading up to a switch somewhere. But maybe you went old style and you just reach under there and hit the button on the flashlight to turn it on.
Keep up the good work. This one is going to look great when you are done!

La Roux was confined to a a 45-minute set in which the Elly Jackson-fronted British synth-pop group played mostly songs off its forthcoming album, Trouble In Paradise, out July 21 on Polydor. Although the pit at the front of the venue was brimming when La Roux hit the stage, most of the crowd was filing in or ambling around, not all in their seats yet. But as soon as Jackson started in on the chart-topper Bulletproof, to conclude the set, over half the audience was drawn into the amphitheater.
Frontman Bernard Sumner took the stage saying, "We're New Order. In case you forgot I'm wearing a t-shirt that says it." The legendary British synth-pop band's set was filled with multiple original video sequences to accompany its performance, one of which was made to raise awareness for the Countdown To A Cure To AIDS (C2C 2020), which is trying to cure AIDS by 2020. The C2C 2020 video also was used to introduce the band. When Sumner's name came up the crowd went wild, but in the pit there was a huge gathering of keyboardist Gillian Gilbert fans who, from the beginning of the show, would not stop screaming her name. Gillian kept her iconic stoic cool throughout the entire set despite her adoring fans begging for her to look their way.
After singing California Grass, Sumner joked about how it could mean grass or grass, but he definitely could smell some California grass in the crowd that night. After the cheers from the crowd he chuckled, "I'm English. I'm not used to this sort of thing. Anyway, this one's for you," and by "you" he obviously meant all the weed smokers, because the scent of weed became inescapable as the band started in on Bizarre Love Triangle. Later in the set, Sumner continued his L.A.-centric banter, exclaiming that the city has everything, "Palm trees, hot chicks, cold chicks, the sea, and New Order." Bassist and founding member Peter Hook is no longer with the band, as he's off doing New Order and Joy Division covers with his own act, much to the consternation of the remaining New Order members and many fans. Not that this crowd seemed to mind.
Although the set was primarily New Order songs, the encore was all Joy Division. First playing Atmosphere as the song's official music video rolled, everyone cheered as the images of the late Ian Curtis took the screen. As the band finished the evening with Love Will Tear Us Apart the words "Joy Division Forever" flickered on the screen.

Peter Bills last year said New Zealand was a rip-off. He's now finding it's not always the case ...
Fish. You'd think it'd be one of this country's greatest and cheapest commodities. But buying it seems to me to be about as perilous as a stroll down Kabul High Street.
Take Devonport. On a brilliant spring morning this week, it was hard to envisage anywhere better for a coffee and shopping trip. But mind the explosive prices ...
The New World supermarket was offering snapper fillets for $37.99 a kilo.
By chance, I'd noticed a small fish shop elsewhere selling them at $39.99. So, about the right price then, a visitor or the unwary local shopper might think?
Well, not if you had visited the Auckland Fish Market the previous day.
Now I know this is a wholesale and retail outlet and you'd expect prices to be a bit less than in ordinary shops. But the price difference was stunning.
At Seafood & More at 22 Jellicoe St, I bought a whole snapper, freshly caught, weighing 0.9kg. I bought it for $13.53, meaning the cost per kilo was $14.99. Value for money? I'd say.
Could it be filleted, I asked? Sure. So two big, beautiful fillets were put on the scales.
Also by chance, at a fish and chip shop at Takapuna the previous week, I'd ordered snapper and chips. There was so much of it I looked around to see who was sharing it with me. The cost? $8.50, which seemed very reasonable. It tasted excellent, too.
It's not everyone who lives on the doorstep of the Auckland Fish Market and driving there means petrol, which means extra expense.
But the more you look at those figures for the same product, the more the disparity seems alarming.
Especially for a product that surrounds this country, even if much of it goes straight to Asian markets.

The Kids Aren't All Right, and Neither Is Abercrombie & Fitchby
Kids these days—they're so poor and pessimistic!
That was the message this morning of a horrendous financial update from Abercrombie & Fitch. Same-store sales at the teen apparel giant, including Web commerce, slid 10 percent, and profit fell by one-third, to $11.4 million. Results were particularly bleak in the U.S., where revenue declined 8 percent; overseas sales actually rose 15 percent.
Despite a string of similarly dreary results from Target, Wal-Mart Stores, and Macy's, Abercrombie Chief Executive Officer Mike Jeffries said the summer business climate was "more difficult than expected," and he seemed baffled by the bad news. "The reasons for the weak traffic we've seen in the U.S. are not entirely clear," he said on a conference call this morning. "Our best theory is that while consumers in general are feeling better about the overall economic environment, it's less the case for the young consumer."
It's not that kids have turned fickle. Those who visited Abercrombie's stores spent at the same pace as they did last year. The problem is far fewer teen shoppers showed up.
Abercrombie's theory about hardscrabble kids may not be far off. Only about one-third of 16- to 19-year-olds had jobs this summer—that's down from almost half in the summer of 2005, according to Department of Labor data released this week. Accounting for how many of those teens actively tried to find work, the unemployment rate for the group was around 25 percent.
In the current labor market, as the Wall Street Journal noted recently, retailers, fast-food restaurants, and other employers offering low-skill positions have the luxury of hiring older workers with some experience. Here's how Paul Harrington, a professor of education at Drexel University, explained the dynamic:
"Kids are at the bottom of the labor queue, so if you don't get a strong recovery it just doesn't reach down to kids."
It's simple trickle-down economics. When the money doesn't flow far enough down the socioeconomic waterfall, no one is there to buy T-shirts with porcupines on them that read: "Do I make you thorny?" Of course, it's entirely possible that the porcupine-tee market has gone cold apart from teenage job woes. Maybe Abercrombie and its Hollister brand have simply fallen out of favor with its target demographic. So says Erik Gordon, a professor at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business: "One generation of customers has moved on, and the next generation doesn't see Abercrombie as cool," he told Reuters (TRI).
Teens' financial struggles, however, seem to extend past any one brand. Aéropostale is also having trouble separating them from their lawn-mowing earnings and ice-cream-scooping tips: Earlier this month, the mall-focused retailer cut its outlook for the summer quarter and projected a loss. Yesterday, American Eagle Outfitters forecast third-quarter profit less than half of what analysts expected. "The environment has been extremely challenging," American Eagle CEO Robert Lee Hanson told analysts. "With high teen unemployment, there is intense promotional competition for every dollar."
In short: Keep buying those bonds, Mr. Bernanke. Do it for the children, who aren't much of the easy money these days.

Can you get Canadian skating coverage? I'm looking for tapes of all the televised competitions during the upcoming 2007-2008 season. Will trade for tapes of U.S. coverage, or will send extra blank tapes plus postage. I think Canadian TV does a better job than US TV does, so I like to see both. Thanks! New information:
U.S. coverage of most skating events (Grand Prix, 4 Continents,
Worlds) will be on ESPN or ESPN2. Not available in Canada, so a trade would be good for everyone.

Politico's VandeHei: 'Mainstream media tends to be quite smitten with the Obamas.'
posted at 1:36 am on September 5, 2012 by Mary Katharine Ham
Analyzing the first night of the Democratic National Convention on a C-SPAN panel early Wednesday morning, Politico's Jim VandeHei admitted some of the praise for Michelle Obama may not be based only on her speech's merits:
"We just posted an item about the media's reaction. Not a shocker here, Wolf Blitzer saying it was a grand slam; Chuck Todd saying that Michelle Obama owned this convention in a way no speaker owned the convention in Tampa, and David Gergen on CNN said if they have two more nights like this they could probably break this race open. The mainstream media tends to be quite smitten with the Obamas so I don't know if we should over interpret it but there's no doubt that's sort of how all the taste makers in media as we talk what it does have a way shaping certainly the coverage in the morning. So I think you can anticipate that tomorrow is going to be quite glowing."
Here's the Politico piece Vandehei was referring to.
Many thanks to Townhall's Greg Hengler for grabbing this video for me in the dead of the night.

"He has committed to Mississippi State," said Stephanie. "I called it in. I am really excited because I know he really wants to play football and get his MBA so that he can run a business."
Most of the time, after a commitment, the talk is about football, but Marcus is not your typical youngster. He personifies what a student-athlete should be.
"He is one of those kind of kids who has known what he wants to do since he was in the 8th grade," said Stephanie. "He came to me one day and told me that he wants to be a marketing research analyst. He had to explain it to me because I was like, 'you want to do what?' He thinks he can sell people on ideas that will make their businesses work. He has stuck with that and last year he told me that he wants to get his MBA. He is very focused on that and wants to get a good education. He works really hard and has been successful, so far."
And he isn't just focused and successful on the football field, but in the classroom as well.
"He is a straight A student," said his dad, Thomas Washington. "Right now, he is in the ROTC leadership camp."
Stephanie explained why the MSU coaching staff decided to offer a scholarship to Marcus last Tuesday (June 7th).
"They said that he would fit into their defensive scheme," said Stephanie. "And that he is good at what he does and that is what they are looking for."
Although they were the first to offer, MSU isn't the only school that has been expressing an interest in Marcus.
"I spoke with him last night (June 9th) and he mentioned something about the Air Force Academy," said Thomas. "Air Force is interested in him partly due to the ROTC. Northwestern is also interested in Marcus, but they told Coach O'Quin they want to come down and see him play more cover defense. TCU has been writing him for a couple of months and he has mentioned that he would like to go to their football camp. Kansas State sent him a questionnaire."
As for which schools Marcus was interested in, prior to his commitment to MSU, his dad mentioned several schools to me last week.
"He is interested in Kansas State, Ohio State, Colorado Mississippi State and Air Force," said Thomas, who is surprised that this is happening so quickly and that Marcus has already received his first offer. " I know he is interested in Mississippi State because when I asked him if this was what he wanted, he cut me off and said, 'yes, yes', so he is really enthusiastic about them offering."
Previously announced MSU commitments.

By Michael Hiestand, USA TODAY
Erin Andrews says on an upcoming episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show that she's "excited to get back to work" and feels "like it's really going to heal my wounds."
Andrews was videotaped through what appeared to be a peephole while nude in a hotel room and the footage surfaced briefly online in July.
GAME ON! ASKS: Is Oprah the right stage for Erin Andrews?
Andrews last appeared on ESPN for its Espy Awards show on July 19 has been off-air since for what ESPN says was planned vacation. She returns Thursday for football sideline reporting at the South Carolina-North Carolina State game.
She last week taped the Oprah show, which will air Sept. 11, to give what she said would be her "first and last" interview on the online tape. Andrews says coping with the videotape has been a "nightmare" that was exacerbated by media attention, although it wasn't reported on ESPN. "People have a story they have to cover," she says. "But I just felt like I was continuing to be victimized. I did nothing wrong."
In the interview, Andrews recounts how the videotape affected her at the time it was online: "I opened up the computer and could feel my heart pounding."
The quotes released by the show don't include anything about whether Andrews has any idea how or when the video was shot. Marshall Grossman, her attorney, has said he hoped to pursue criminal or civil lawsuits if anyone responsible for the taping was identified.

Hey guys! I hope you're doing well today! I have a ton to do this weekend... I have a 5 day weekend, so Miss Zoey's nursery is getting an overhaul! We've got to paint the ceiling, spackle and paint the walls (PINK!)... And hopefully I'll get the curtains finished and hung! Yay! I'm so excited to finally be working on it... We only have 15 weeks left, after all... AHH!
Anyway, to the polish!! Here's one of the 6 colors I got in Zoya's Earth Day exchange this year... Zoya Tracie!
Zoya describes Tracie as "Faded, yellow-toned pistachio green with delicate silvery shimmer for a frosted pearl finish." The formula on this one was a bit thick, but it evened out after the second coat. It was also a bit more slow-drying than other Zoya's that I'm used to, but it wasn't problematic. The color is absolutely gorgeous and flattering... I've gotten many compliments on it! Zoya sure does know how to do a great green!!
I know I promised 2 review posts... I got the pictures for one of them, and my SD card decided to eat the pictures. My computer wouldn't read my card, so I had to reformat it. SO, that's something else I'll be working on this weekend! I promise I'll have them to you soon! :)

MINNETONKA — Brennen Myers scored three goals in a row for the Brainerd Warriors as they defeated Wayzata/Minnetonka 6-5 in a North Division game Monday.

They're Coming from San Diego
This is Barbara Cummings from San Diego. Niger Yellow Cake! Two of us are leaving for Crawford this evening. We plan to stay a week or more. We are bringing cases of water and other food stuff. We will sit by the side of the road with Cindy.
Check this out; I called my congressman this morning, Bob Filner, to thank him for signing the letter in support of Cindy. His office manager had no idea who Cindy is or why Crawford was significant. When last I was this surprised it was when they didn't know who John Bolton was during the week of the hearings!This is astounding to me! How can we motivate people to get out there when those who should know, don't know?
I'll keep you posted. We have added even more for the event in September.

Chair Mats & Floor MatsView all 1008 items
Office Depot chair mats and floor mats come in all shapes, sizes and materials. Chair mats and floor mats help keep carpets fresh and shield hard floors from scratches, scrapes and everyday wear and tear. Whether you work in a traditional office, a home office, a large call center, a retail store or a medical office, chair mats and floor mats are always a smart investment. Stylish and functional, a floor mat is also a great way to enhance entryways and reception areas, while also making employees more comfortable and safeguarding the floors. Find the perfect chair mats and floor mats to fit your needs from our broad selection.
Chair Mats for Carpets
Even if your office floor is carpeted, chair mats are especially effective when used over thick carpet and uneven surfaces. Chair mats over carpet allow rolling chairs to move smoothly. A carpet chair mat is designed with bottom studs that help secure it into the carpet. Quality mats prevent chair wheels from producing grooves and other signs of wear and carpet damage. For the best fit, choose a chair mat that matches the width and length of your workspace. A rectangular mat fits well with most desks, while a lipped mat is great if your desk has a smaller leg opening. A contoured chair mat adds a modern look to any office, and a workstation mat is ideal for corner desks, L-shaped desks and other wide areas. Also, browse decorative chair mats to find a variety of styles, designed to complement any setting.
Chair Mats for Hard Floors
Many offices and businesses have hardwood, tile, linoleum, laminate or other materials on their floors instead of carpeting. At Office Depot you'll find a wide assortment of chair mats for hard floors in all styles, shapes and thicknesses to protect against spills, stains, scuffs and other damage. You can also opt for a simple design or clear finish to blend with any décor, or give an office a splash of personality with a distinctive print or color. Sizes usually range from 36" x 48" to 48" x 60". For durability, look for polycarbonate, PET, vinyl and polyvinyl mats in clear or black. Polycarbonate is extremely durable and resists curling, cracking and discoloring over time. Looking for a more eco-conscious chair mat? There are several options, including vinyl mats containing up to 50% postconsumer recycled content.
Decorative Chair and Floor Mats
Wall color, furniture style, lighting fixtures, artwork and even your chair and floor mats all make a statement about your style. Office Depot carries a full selection of decorative chair and floor mats to complement your office. Bamboo is a great-looking, durable option that works especially well with traditional and modern design. A greener choice, bamboo is also a rapidly renewable resource that is available in dark cherry and natural wood shades. Bamboo mats usually include a felt backing for added cushioning and roll up like a rug for convenient shipping and storage. You'll also find polyvinyl chair mats that feature floral patterns and "sisal rug" designs. Remember to always consider function as well as fashion when choosing a thicker chair mat for carpeted areas that are subject to heavier weight and higher usage.
Anti-static Chair Mats
Did you know that excessive static could damage your valuable computer equipment? Select anti-static chair mats to safeguard delicate electronics against dust and static buildup. One simple way to decrease static in the workplace is to use clear plastic anti-static chair mats. You'll find a range of sizes at Office Depot, from 53" x 45" to 46" x 60." Do you move your chair around the workplace throughout the day? Many anti-static chair mats are designed with a beveled edge to allow your chair wheels to move with ease on and off the mat.
Entrance Mats
Decorative options are great for adding a touch of flair to a reception area. Welcome your guests and employees with a distinctive entrance mat that makes an impression. Heavy-duty mats that soak up water and trap debris help to keep interior floors and carpets clean and dry.
Anti-fatigue Floor Mats
Show employees you appreciate their hard work. Make use of anti-fatigue floor mats to help your work force reduce foot, leg and back strain due to standing on hard surfaces for extended periods. Whether you work in a traditional office, at home, in a large call center, retail store or medical complex, anti-fatigue mats will help to reduce strain while on the job. Usually made from marbleized PVC surfaces with sponge bases, or rubber with air bubbles for more cushioning, thick padding provides all-day comfort. Also look for options with additional features such as attractive designs, dirt-trapping surfaces and a "waffle back" pattern that also provides insulation from cold floors.

Kidding, that'd be overkill. The changes listed in the OP should be enough to strike fear into the hearts of co-op players, and Ali's suggestion about Fakehound's suggestion is equally welcome.
Yeah, boosters and KBs are kind of essential in co-op.
But, yeah I wish this mode would be implemented. I just like facing those Kickback Enemies and PAK-80 Brutes. They're the toughest enemies and the most fun to me.

THERE WAS NO letdown and no missed beats when Marin Academy took the field for Thursday's high school boys lacrosse game against the Branson School.
Just days after another heartbreaking tight loss to Marin Catholic — a nemesis in the section playoffs — the Wildcats regrouped and didn't let up, beating Branson 19-7 in a non-league contest.
"Coming off a game like that Tuesday, coming out firing was something we talked about. We didn't want to let up," coach Josh Frechette said of the Wildcats (4-2). "We worked hard and showed our depth. It was nice to see."
Senior Dexter Eichhorst led the way with five goals and an assist for Marin Academy, while freshman Marshall Cummings had six assists and two goals. Jack Herzog added three goals for the Wildcats. Teammate Nick Watkins added three assists.
"(Cummings) is just a freshman but he has a great feel out there," Eichhorst said. "Nick Watkins and I really connected today. So did everyone out there. We worked hard."
Branson (2-4) used a tight zone defense to keep the game close early. MA had just a two-goal lead after Matt Jacobs scored to start the second period. But after that, the Wildcats scored nine consecutive goals stretching from the second quarter until the last minute of the third.
"We played right with them through the first quarter," said first-year Branson coach Cal Kennedy, whose roster is just 16 players. "Our guys played hard all the way through and that's what I'm looking for at this stage. (MA) is a very good team, but I'm looking at our mistakes right now. Sometimes we make the same mistake three times. That's where we need to tighten up. That's where we can get better."
Jacobs led the Bulls with three goals while Andrew Grossfield added two goals and two assists. Teammate Sean Gullion added two assists and a goal.
"That's a team on the way up. We want to copy some of the things they were doing on offense," Frechette said. "It wasn't long ago that I was standing over there with 15 players. It's tough but, from everything I've seen and heard, they are building the right way."
Branson goalie Teddy Hurley weathered the storm for the Bulls, coming away with 15 saves before giving way to Jordan Garrett, who added five saves.
"Both goalies played well," Kennedy said. "(Branson midfielder) Chris Dale worked his ass off out there. He was fighting the whole game."
Marin Academy was without starting goalie Dylan Slack, who injured his thumb in practice Wednesday. Sophomore Jaq Pyle got his first start, made a pair of saves and impressed his coach.
"He found out at 2:20 (before a 3:30 p.m. start) that Dylan had to go get X-rays," said Frechette, noting that Slack's thumb was not broken and he hopes to have him back soon. "I was impressed. He was very calm in picking up the ball and looking for the outlet pass. He had a nice game."

Understanding the Seven of Wands Tarot Card in a Love Tarot Reading
In love tarot, the Seven of Wands encourages you to rise to your challenges and face them head on. In love matters, you may find yourself in a position where you have to defend your relationship or confront a rivalry. If you are married, there may be outside influences that are taking your mates attentions. This could either be another person or could be as simple as your partners work or social obligations.
Often when this card is drawn, it signifies that your current relationship is facing obstacles or difficulties. Whatever the challenge, you must become willing to confront it head on. You may need to have a heart to heart with your partner. Or, you may be in a situation where you will need to set some clear boundaries. Sometimes a healthy disagreement or argument can clear the air and both you and your partner will feel as though you were heard and acknowledged. It's important, however, not to become too rigid. Give you partner the opportunity to set things right.
The Seven of Wands tarot card urges you to stay true to your principles. If you are being confronted, it's important to voice your opinions and values. Tempers may rise and arguments may ensue but the best approach is to stay calm and neutral. As soon as you lose your cool, you are vulnerable to lose your footing.
Should you assert yourself and defend your position you will be the ultimate victor. In love tarot readings, the Seven of Wands indicates triumph as long as you defend your position. This is a great opportunity to learn how to demand the things that you feel you deserve. In love relationships, you finally get the opportunity to truly explore your own value and self-worth. Your courage and faith in yourself may be tested. In the end, however, you will not only win the battle but you will also gain a new level of confidence and self-assurance.
