Ratings for Dr. James C. Saylor
Dr Saylor and his wife, Betsey, are committed to your utmost well-being. They both helped me transition through menopause and ensuing weight gain, hot flashes, etc. I am now on compounded HRT that has made a world of difference. There are NO hidden costs; they are upfront about what they have to offer and pricing. Betsey is very empathetic and caring. You always feel at ease here and her husband, Dr James, Saylor, is knowledgable in holistic as well as western medicine. Highly recommended over chain weight loss centers that only provide a temporary solution!
I have been going to Dr. Saylor for a few years now and I love how personable they are. I also love the fact that they really take time to talk to me and I never ever feel rushed and always have my questions answered. It's quite refreshing to have such a great experience in the health care industry.
doctor Saylor and his wife Betsy are by far the best medical facility out there, as far as weight loss and personal care . There knowledge and caring won me over right away!!! I easily lossed 30 lbs. the first month just like they said I would, altogether I lossed 67 lbs. over a three month period.I would highly recomend them to anyone. Iam going to return to finish my weight loss schedule with soon.
Dr Saylor and his wife/assistant, Betsy, are both compassionate and knowledgeable. Very positive and supportive in my weight loss efforts. No gimmicks in their programs; always up front and willing to help their patients achieve goals!
I first called this office to help me with my weight loss and now I am down 43 pounds so far. Being a mom and and working full time I thought this would be hard. But, it really wasn't! I learned from the office staff he helps with allergies also. I talked to Dr Saylor about my MANY allergies that have gotten worse as I have gotten older. He began to treat these for me and I have to say I am allergy free no symptoms at all. I feel better than when I was 18. Actually I think I feel better. I am so thankful I found him on line and so glad I went. This is someone who really takes time to listen and he helped me when allergy shots, allergy medicines and steroids did not get rid of problem. I feel good and I look good and I can't say enough about this office. It has been the best experience of my life. I will tell everyone that I have found the best doctor in the world.
My husband went to Dr. Saylor to quit smoking and when he left the office that day he never smoked again (10 months ago). He found the medical problems that all other doctors missed in my daughter when she started her menstrual cycle(your teen girl does not have to behave like a "typical" menstrating teen) and neither do you. He has helped myself( too many ways to name)and my son(allergies,fatigue,etc.) in so many ways. He is a great Dr. and we enjoy the family atmosphere there with his wife and her daughter. Thanks Saylor Medical Group.
I was in a car accident and had neck pain, headaches and low back pain. I used a referral service I saw on TV. They sent me to a chiro who didn't help. With just a few visits at Dr. Saylor's I could feel a difference. After a month I'm mostly pain free. Also, everyone there was courteous and treated me better than any doctor's office I have ever be to.
For my health issues primarily pain with Fibromyalgia, R.A., Chronic Fatigue and many other health issues, He is the FIRST one that provided relief. He listened to what I had to say, very helpful with tips, and I was impressed with his knowledge, and his compassion and caring. I would recommend him to anyone who is experiencing pain. I wish I would have discovered him years ago. He is by far truly the best physician I have ever seen. To anyone who dismisses the knowledge of a doctor of oriental medicine has never met one like Dr. Saylor. His knowledge and skills could be put up against any physician allepathic or complemetary. I appreciated his office staff also. They were professional but, I felt like they cared about me and wanted me to get better. This is noticed from the time you call his office. His staff is knowledgeable and reduced my stress and mountains of paperwork the insurance company put me thru.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. -- A couple from Derby filed a law suit against Metro-North Railroad for $10 million on Friday as a result of the derailment near Fairfield last year, according to the New Haven Register.
Lina Pacelli and her husband, Francesco Pacelli, are suing the commuter rail after Lina Pacelli suffered a compression fracture during the derailment and required surgery, the New Haven Register reported.
The Pacellis' attorney also said she suffers from post-traumatic stress because of the derailment and is now fearful of traveling by rail, the New Haven Register said.

You are correct in saying that you have to have a healthy balance of job experience versus certifications. I think the certs you have listed there are all reputable but it is never a bad thing to start with an entry level job at a large company so you can get a lot of hands on experience with large enterprise environments.
This will allow you to see various technologies and focus on those you like while gaining valuable experience at the same time. You can also network and get your name out there in the industry because a lot of times it really comes down to who you know as much as what you know.

3 year old jealousy issues
I have a 3 year old son and recently had our daughter (now 3 months). My son is showing increasing signs of jealousy. I've tried taking special time each day just to spend with him and making him feel extra important when he helps out but he is still acting up quite often and I'm at the end of my rope. Help?!

My children always loved having a new baby in the house and I think that one of the reasons for this was because we relied on them to help with the baby. At 3 years, they were bringing me nappies and wipes, throwing the dirty nappy in the trash, sitting by baby and bouncing the bouncy seat, pushing the swing and and singing to baby to help her go to sleep.
They were Mum's big helpers and I let them know how much I appreciated their help.
I also snuggled them and read to them while I was breastfeeding baby. In as many ways as possible I tried to make them a part of everything I did with baby, so that they never felt like baby was taking my time away from them.
You're doing great in trying to spend some time with him. Does he go to preschool? If so, that can make a child feel like they're being "booted out" while baby gets to stay home with mum (especially if they'd rather stay home with mum).
Our children were always home with us, so we didn't have anyone who had to leave the home (i.e. preschool) when a new baby arrived.
Warm regards,

I agree to try making your older child feel involved by making him your little helper. You can often ask your older child to grab you something when you need it or help you find something. Are you breastfeeding? When I was breastfeeding, my older children would feel a bit left out. We started using a special box that was only for breastfeeding times. The box could be filled with inexpensive toys, books, coloring books and crayons, or even toys that your child has not played with in a while. When you sit down to breastfeed, you can pull out the box and let your older child pick out something special to play with. If your child picks a book, you can all snuggle together and read. If your child picks a new toy, it may keep your little one occupied, so you have time to feed the baby. I found that the box was something my oldest child found really special and he enjoyed being able to pick out something new (even if it was just a toy that he had not played with in a while).
I also think spending time your older child can help, as well. Even if you just go for a walk or play a game. The final thing I can say is to just give it a little more time. Each of my children has adjusted to a new sibling differently, but for some children it gets easier once the baby becomes older and more mobile. To some toddlers or older children, a baby doesn't seem to do much but cry, eat and sleep. They may have a difficult time understanding why the baby can't just play with them, but as the baby gets older and more mobile, they are able to play with each other.

High on the Alto 3880
Those of you who know me know that I'm an old ThinkPad guy, in more ways than one. I myself am older than many of you reading this — well on my way to AARP membership status as I reach 55 this November — and the ThinkPads I use on a daily basis are themselves old, namely a T30 and an R40.
ThinkPads are painfully utilitarian, amazingly solid, and like the Model T Fords come in a wide variety of colors as long as you choose black. For these reasons, ThinkPads lend themselves to being the laptop of choice for many laptop users, mostly developers. To make them more attractive — for loss of a better word — many a ThinkPad is embellished with stickers on the cover, rivaling the best of the NASCAR field. Mine is no exception: My ThinkPad does its laps with EFF, SCALE 10X, Oregon State University Open Source Lab, Open Source for America, two Google Summer of Code, and No Starch Press stickers gracing the laptop cover.
So when ZaReason sent me an Alto 3880 to put through its paces, my first reaction was, "Wow. This is too nice to put stickers on."
The Alto 3880's cover is a very stylish silver and should be kept in its pristine form. A look around the laptop before opening it shows that ports are readily available on the sides — with monitor, ethernet and USB ports conveniently located on the left side instead of on the back. While many might find this a simple design, ThinkPad users would be thrilled to know that the oft-inconvenient ThinkPad reacharound to plug in USB cables or thumb drives is not necessary here. In giving it the once over before opening it, the Alto is light in one's hands, but it still feels sturdy.
Opening the cover and pushing the on button reveals a screen with remarkable clarity contrasted on a black background and base. If you're a regular ThinkPad user, the keyboard is different — flat keys at the same level — and takes getting used to. With heavy fingers like mine, the pounding I would normally offer the ThinkPad feels like I'm mercilessly pounding this keyboard and suggests some behavior modification. But ultimately the keyboard is tough enough to withstand it and after adjusting to the new keyboard — wider than the ThinkPad's — it is easy to adapt to and to get accustomed to the additional real estate for your hands.
Performance wise, the Alto 3880 flies on the trio of distros I used on it, and without boring you with the minutiae, with one exception that turned out to be a software clash, the laptop performed without a hitch. With the 1366-by-768 resolution on a an remarkably clear 14-inch screen, the laptop would make a fine — no, make that an outstanding — replacement for my old ThinkPads.
I used three different distros on the Alto 3880, and each performed well, and each would make a fine choice for the person owning this laptop. The three contestants, for the sake of argument, are Linux Mint and Fedora — both which you can have preinstalled by ZaReason — and CrunchBang, which you can install on your own (until I convince ZaReason to make it a choice). However, as I understand it, if you request a different distro, ZaReason will install it. Or if you want no operating system, they'll send it like that, too. Unlike other Linux hardware vendors, ZaReason offers a wide choice in this department.
But I digress. Here's how the distros did:
Alto 3880 with Linux Mint: Originally, the laptop came to me with Linux Mint 12, which is the latest version of the distro with the GNOME 2.x-type desktop. The Alto 3880 did remarkably well with Linux Mint, which is growing on a lot of people (including me). Switching from MATE to GNOME to Cinnamon was a snap, and the performance was outstanding. In one instance on a busy morning where I forgot to plug in the laptop, I got just over four hours from the battery using multiple programs on Linux Mint.
Alto 3880 with Fedora 16: I'm waiting for the myth that Fedora is too "cutting edge" for the average user to go the way of the Studebaker and the hula hoop. It's just that — a myth — and Fedora 16 runs circles around just about everything else on this machine. After installing Flash so one can — oh, I don't know — participate in the wider Internet world, the distro and hardware handled everything I threw at it from a video and audio standpoint with aplomb.
Alto 3880 with CrunchBang Statler: The laptop has the horses, so to speak, to run the previous two desktop environments without breaking a sweat. So when faced with handling the Openbox window manager on CrunchBang, the distro soared. Also, the built-in camera worked flawlessly during a Google+ Hangout with the CrunchBang crew.
Alto 3880 strengths
Regardless of what distro is running on it, the Alto 3880 is remarkably versatile and handles a wide range of work without complaint. In fact, the only problem I had was helping my daughter solve what turned out to be a common GIMP and Banshee problem where the programs, both running simultaneously, weren't playing nice with each other — clearly not a reflection on the hardware. The screen is very clear and handles high resolutions flawlessly, which is a benefit for those who want to do things like watch videos or do intricate graphics work (Note: My daughter Mimi will be writing her own review of this laptop as well). Across the distro board, the audio and video performance was outstanding, with the onboard speakers sounding good enough to forgo plugging in speakers in some cases (though the speakers sounded good, too, when used to watch DVDs). the laptop itself is lightweight but solid, and the design is top-notch — this is a beautiful laptop.
Needs improvement?
There is a lot to like on this laptop, but the one thing that took getting used to is the keyboard. Again, this might be just something for the personal preference folder, but the keyboard at first tends to feel a little light to the touch. Also, the mouse button, which is a single bar at the same level as the touchpad operating on a centered fulcrum (click the left side for the left mouse button, right side for the right) is hard to adjust to when coming from hardware where the buttons are raised. To be fair, it would be difficult to imagine that a ThinkPad-like keyboard would work, design wise, on a laptop like this.
A final look
I don't have a rating system — stars, penguins, horseshoes, whatever — in place, but if I did I would rank the Alto 3880 very high; for the sake of argument, let's say 4.5 penguins out of a perfect 5 penguins. Its combination of sleek design and high performance make this laptop one that would easily draw me away from the ranks of the ThinkPad users. The retail price for this machine is $599, which many of you might think is a little high compared to what you could get at Best Buy. But when you consider that when buying from a Linux hardware vendor, you're not only getting a quality machine with a great OS, your purchase supports FOSS, for starters, by not putting another "sale" in Redmond's tally. With its wide range of capabilities and performance, the Alto 3880 is a laptop I would be proud to own and, if Uncle Sam is generous with a tax return, would be glad to purchase.

One way or another
Originally, I had started a blog item on the newly released, Mideast peace-securing, cancer-curing, saivor-of-all-mankind Head-Up Display from Ubuntu — "head up" what, exactly, is unclear, but not much imagination is needed — in which I promised to try it, but I still wonder aloud about the degree of "innovation" in what appears to be a GUI for the command line, to say nothing of the competing ease between clicking on a menu item versus typing it in a field.
No, I'm going to leave that pinata alone for the moment.
The real news this week is that Cinnamon 1.2, the Linux Mint fork of Gnome 2.x desktop, rolls out and gives an option to those who can't (due to hardware limitations) — or won't (due to the fact they don't like it) — use the latest GNOME 3 version. Linux Mint really nailed it here, but . . . .
I'll get back to that one soon, too.
What causes the bloggus interruptus today is an exchange I had a couple of days ago on a CrunchBang forum — it was completely tongue-in-cheek by both parties — where doing a task had more than one method to fix what a new user wanted to achieve.
In the exchange what was said, in effect (and in jest), is that you can do it the cool, "l33t h4xx0r" way using the command line, or you can use the n00b-oriented, menu-driven program written for the window manager that comes with the program. While poking fun, the subtext here still speaks to a digital caste system where the more experienced are on some sort of higher plane, either real or imagined (and I choose the latter), than the inexperienced.
Naturally, I concur that there is more than one way to a solution: Yes, the command line is the more direct way to get things done. However, not everyone using Linux — even CrunchBang, if the threads on the CrunchBang forum to which I refer are any indication — is that well-versed in using the terminal, and when it comes to tools, some of the menu-driven ones can be a godsend.
The point I'd like to make is that there are folks out there who have made and maintained programs like Obmenu and Obapps in Openbox, to use the example from the forum exchange, that essentially give the keys to those less experienced to change their digital experience without having to traverse the potential landmine the command line can be for new or less-experienced users.
For that reason, when the tools are available I use them, and when asked on a forum about how to do things and I know an option like this exists, I'll make this Plan A in my suggestion. Again, there is more than one solution, and if someone goes to the effort of explaining the commands to use in a terminal, more power to them.
(Let me be clear about one thing, too and point this to the new users: Learning some of the more basic commands — even some simple bash scripting — should be part of a Linux users repertoire, and chances are you'll find it fairly interesting. Or, if you're like me, you'll find it fun. But even if you don't find it fun, it's something you should know, and I would suggest taking the time to look up how the command line works and why.)
Yes, it may be a little less "h4xx0r" to do it from a program, but using these tools gives those who put in the effort a tip of the hat for going the extra mile and providing a method that helps out.
So to those of you who work on developing tools like Obmenu and Obapps — thanks for your efforts and keep up the work that, though anonymous, is vital to the success of distros everywhere.
We now return to writing another blog item, which is already in progress . . . .
(Larry Cafiero is one of the founders of the Lindependence Project and has just started developing software at Redwood Digital Research, a consultancy that provides FOSS solutions in the small business and home office environment.)
A perfect 10
I'm going to try to say this in my best movie-preview-guy voice.
More than 100 exhibitors.
More than 130 presentations.
Nearly 2,000 people in attendance.
These factors together are what makes the Southern California Linux Expo SCALE 10X a perfect 10.
With 101 exhibitors, 132 presentations and 1,962 people in attendance over the three-day event (roughly a 9 percent uptick in attendance), SCALE 10X nailed it. I'm going to let Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier take the helm here on this one, since his blog item on the event is outstanding and is something I can't improve on.
But do you think, for a moment, that would stop me from giving some impressions of the show?
Yeah, I'm that guy: OK, so if I thought so many people were that interested, I would have made a bigger deal about it; maybe even holding a press conference or something. But yes, I am now primarily a CrunchBang GNU/Linux user and advocate after ramping down my activities with the Fedora Project (though I did use my pull as a former Fedora Ambassador to help out a Fedoran stuck at the hotel). As I mentioned to just about everyone I saw at the show who asked me about it — that's about 90 percent of the folks I regularly see at shows — there were really two factors involved: a.) I really like CrunchBang a lot since I started using it six months ago, and I think the distro, their lead developer Philip Newborough, and their community have a lot going for them, and b.) under the skillful guidance of Mark Terranova and Scott Williams and other Fedoristas in California, I don't think I'll be missed by the Fedora Project all that much.
There. I'm glad we had this little talk. Now go and try CrunchBang — it's great.
Hey, don't I know you? After years of talking with some people through e-mails and online, I finally got to meet a few in person. Both keynoters — Greg DeKoenigsberg and Selena Deckelmann (both of whom did great jobs on their Saturday and Sunday keynotes respectively) — have seen my e-mails but only saw my face for the first time (and me theirs) over the weekend. And also I made a trivia question of Rick Moen, who made it down to L.A. from our neck of the woods in the Silicon Valley, and whom I met for the first time. In a fashion statement worthy of note, Rick only wore T-shirts of software no longer with us — the Caldera shirt on Friday was a nice touch, Rick!
Filling some big shoes: Yours truly took control of the media side of things for SCALE 10X, since Orv Beach was teaching the Linux Beginners Class this year. I know that Orv consistently puts in yeoman's work on the show every year, but I didn't realize the volume of releases and announcements sent out during the show. I didn't get to the expo floor until late Saturday afternoon at the earliest, and I hope I did the show proud in running all things media. Drafting Jason Riker and LXer's Scott Ruecker (no relation, though names are pronounced the same) to help out was a plus. I've also gained a new appreciation for Twitter and, yes, yours truly now can condense a message down to 140 characters.
Best. Compliment. Ever. So during one lap around on the show floor, seeing if anyone needed anything in the way of publicity and the like, I had one exhibtor, a woman, tell me this: "This is a great show. In fact, I worked AVS and this show is much better than that one." I thought I was more worldly than I am, apparently, becuase I had to ask: "AVS?" "Adult Video Show," she replied. Ah. So noted. On that note, there's nothing that can beat that.
Except maybe SCALE 11X next year.
(Larry Cafiero is one of the founders of the Lindependence Project and has just started developing software at Redwood Digital Research, a consultancy that provides FOSS solutions in the small business and home office environment.)
Taking a moment to gloat
OK, so it's Thursday morning and I still haven't packed for SCALE, the Enterprise guy is going to be here in about a half-hour to pick me up so I can drive the rental car back here to load up, I have one more SCALE 10X press release to send out before hitting the road, and there's a Q-and-A interview also I have to post on the SCALE Web site.
But I'll drop all that for a moment. This is a little more important.
Recently, tech writers risked grave injury jumping on the "Linux Desktop is dead" bandwagon. Armies of writers marched lockstep to the theme that the desktop needs to have a fork stuck in it — it's over, kaput, get it a nice casket. What do we have for our departing contestant?
I told them they were all full of crap.
Meanwhile, this morning Steven J. Vaughan Nichols reports that the Linux desktop might just be growing. It seems a Web research firm called Net Applications produced data showing that Linux's desktop market share has been growing — from 0.97 percent in July 2011 to a record-breaking 1.41 percent as of this month.
OK, guys, now watch your step getting down off that bandwagon.
See you all at SCALE — arriving around 6ish in the white rental car.

SAPD Considering 'Wearable Cameras' For Officers
San Antonio Police will move forward with a controversial plan to equip patrol officers with 'body cameras' which will record their every move inside and outside of their patrol cars, 1200 WOAI's Stephanie Narvaez reports.
Police Chief William McManus told City Council's regular work session that there are a lot of benefits to the body cameras.
"It provides a true record of citizen/officer interaction, it provides evidentiary value for court, and it improves citizen confidence during their interactions with officers," McManus said.
He says about 150 officers have been outfitted with the body cameras, tiny cameras which generally fit on either the officer's glasses or the shoulder epaulettes of his or her uniform.
Civil libertarians are concerned about how long the video that is taken with the cameras will be stored, what it will be used for, and who will get to see it.
"There are types of recordings," McManus said. "One that has evidentiary value in a criminal case, those are stored indefinitely. Everything that is not criminal disappears within 180 days."
But McManus confirmed that officers are not required to inform people they meet on the street that they are being recorded. Currently, all police patrol cars, and patrol cars in most police agencies, are equipped with cameras, and those officers are not required to tell citizens that they are on candid camera, either.
McManus also said that the batteries on the body cameras only have a life of four hours, so the officer will use the camera at his or her 'discretion.' When an officer who allegedly raped a woman last fall, the camera on his patrol car had been turned off. Similarly, when an Incarnate Word police officer shot and killed a student in December, the camera on that police car had been removed.
Many police officers say they like the idea of body cameras, because their biggest fear is a phony complaint of police brutality, harassment, or sexual misconduct being made by an individual who is angry at being stopped by police.

The entire list
Kaçkar TV, 21 November 2008
Adnan Oktar:Let me say this in all humility, THE GREATEST IMPORTANCE MUST BE ATTACHED TO AGRICULTURE from now on, the greatest importance must be attached to stockbreeding, this may be in the form of large animals or poultry, BUT EVERYONE ENGAGED IN THIS NEEDS TO BE SERIOUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE STATE. And the state itself should be actively engaged in the field. AGRICULTURE NEEDS TO BE SUPPORTED RIGHT ACROSS TURKEY. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS THESE TWO FIELDS IN PARTICULAR, RATHER THAN OTHERS, THAT MUST BE SUPPORTED, AND ALL FORMS OF INDUSTRY THAT INDIRECTLY SUPPORT AGRICULTURE AND STOCKBREEDING MUST ALSO BE SUPPORTED. It may be agricultural chemicals. Or tractors and combine harvesters, and the state must provide top rate support for the production of these and everyone concerned with them.
MPL TV, 21 November 2008
Adnan Oktar:But let me also say that this crisis can be quite risky. I mean, this is what needs to be done: stockbreeding AND AGRICULTURE NEED TO BE EMPHASIZED AND GIVEN THE PRIORITY. STOCKBREEDING AND AGRICULTURE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE STATE SHOULD GIVE TEN TIMES AS MUCH SUPPORT AS IT DOES TO OTHER INSTITUTIONS. AGRICULTURE AND STOCKBREEDING. They need to be given enormous support. IN OTHER WORDS, AGRICULTURAL AND LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION NEEDS TO BE RAISED BY THREE OR FIVE TIMES. THIS IS A GREAT PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE, AND A VERY POWERFUL ONE. ATTACHING PRIORITY TO AGRICULTURE AND LIVESTOCK-RAISING WILL PREVENT ANY UNWELCOME DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FUTURE.
Azerbaijan Novoye Vremya, 6 October 2008
Hürriyet, 10 April 2011
Agriculture attained a value of 61.8 billion US dollars, Turkey is ranked the 8th in the World and became the leader in Europe
Mehdi Eker, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, pointed out to the reforms made by Turkey in agriculture and stockbreeding, and stated: "Turkey outdistanced three countries in 2010 and ranked the 8th in the economy of agriculture in the world and became the leader in Europe. Turkey's yield was 23 billion USD in 2002 but this figure reached 61.8 billion USD in 2010.

Within-variables with between-variance
Mplus Discussion
Multilevel Data/Complex Sample
posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2007 - 8:40 am
I would be glad for advice concerning the following question:
when using 'type = twolevel basic', I find considerable between-group variance (e.g. ICCs around .10) for a number of variables (e.g. education, age). However, originally I wanted to use these variables as control variables for my substantive construct (a factor measured on both the within- and between-level) only.
Thus, given that I am not interested in modelling the between-group variation of these controls, I thought it be would be fine to declare these controls as within-variables using the WITHIN-command. However, I am unsure whether this would be correct - does declaring variables with between-group variation as WITHIN-variables necessarily bias the findings?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, July 31, 2007 - 7:04 pm
It is ok to keep these variables as WITHIN. This simply says that you are using the whole variable and don't divide it up into within and between components. If on the other hand you had a control variable that only varied across between units you would have to declare it as BETWEEN to get the right SEs.
Jeremy Flaherty
posted on Saturday, November 17, 2007 - 9:55 pm
Whether or not an independent variable is declared as WITHIN in TYPE=TWOLEVEL does appear to make some differences in my results. Is there a reason for going one way or the other? Do you happen to know what GLLAMM and XTREG and XTMIXED do with this issue in Stata?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Sunday, November 18, 2007 - 6:41 am
You are correct that it makes a difference whether you put an indepednent variable on the WITHIN list or not. Conventional multilevel programs estimate the model as thought the independent variable is on the WITHIN list. Mplus has an alternative option which can be advantageous in some cases. This will be discussed in Example 9.1 in the new Mplus user's guide which will be available on the website Monday or Tuesday. See the following paper for more information:
Lüdtke, O., Marsh, H.W., Robitzsch, A., Trautwein, U., Asparouhov, T., & Muth�n, B. (2007). The multilevel latent covariate model: A new, more reliable approach to group-level effects in contextual studies.
Jeremy Flaherty
posted on Friday, November 30, 2007 - 8:00 am
Step 1: I run a two-level analysis with level-1 covariates and no level-2 covariates, I have no R-square for the BETWEEN portion.
Step 2: I run the same model with level-2 covariates added, I do have an R-square for the BETWEEN.
Step 3: I remove some of the level-1 covariates (which originally accounted for no BETWEEN variance according to the BETWEEN r-square in step 1) and the BETWEEN r-square drops significantly.
I understand that level-one variables will account for BETWEEN variance, but I'm not sure how to explain that they don't add to the BETWEEN r-square in step 1, but they then take away from the BETWEEN r-square in step 3. (all level-one covariates are declared in the WITHIN = statement, and the level-2 covariates are declared in the BETWEEN = statement)
Isn't this a problem?
Should I use these r-squares in a paper submitted for publication? If so, how do I explain what's happening, i.e., why do these level-one covariates explain no between variance unless there are level-two covariates included in the model?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, November 30, 2007 - 8:23 am
Clarification on Step 1 - there shouldn't be an R-square printed for Between if there are not Between covariates. Is that what you are getting? - I don't understand what you mean when you talk about explaining how level-one variables don't add to the Between R-square in step 1.
Jeremy Flaherty
posted on Friday, November 30, 2007 - 8:57 am
Correct: there is no R-square printed in step 1 where I have no Between covariates.
Because of this, in step 2, it looks like my Between R-square is the variance being explained specifically by my Between covariates; but in step3, since the Between R-square drops so much when I remove some of the Within covariates, it's clear that the step 2 Between R-square isn't merely the result of the Between covariates. Should I simply hand calculate the Between R-square in step 1, since the Within variables are explaining Between variance, or do I treat the Between R-square in step 1 as zero (in other words, am I supposed to interpret the R-square as zero since it's not printed in step 1)?
Maybe an easier way to ask this is: Why isn't there a Between R-square in step 1? I understand it isn't printed unless there are Between covariates, but if it's a twolevel model, and Between variance is being explained by Within variables, why isn't this shown with a Between R-square?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, November 30, 2007 - 3:22 pm
It sounds like you have individual-level variables that are not placed on the Within list and therefore have variances estimated on both the Within and Between level. To answer you properly, we probably need to look at your specific setting, so please send the input, output, data, and license number to
Note also the multilevel literature on R-square behavior in books like Snijders and Bosker.

I want to compute how much additional variance is explained at level 2 when adding an interaction between two between-level variables (thus, I am comparing a model with only main effects at level 2 with a model that includes main effects and an interaction). Should I just compare R squares for two models (R2-model2 minus R2-model1)? Or, should I subtract unstandardized residual variance for model 2 (the one that includes an interaction) from the unstandardized residual variance for model 1 and divide it by the unstandardized residual variance for model 1. The problem is that these two methods do not give me the same estimate (e.g., .10 vs. 12). Which one is correct? And, why don�t I get the same result?

Statement by Ambassador Berger on the Reform of the Security Council in the informal plenary
(check against delivery)
Mr. Chairman,
Thank you very much for convening this first debate of the 7th round on Security Council reform. It is our first meeting in the informal plenary in 2011, and we are hopeful that the process will now pick up momentum and regain the speed necessary to produce a concrete outcome in the current session.
We note the third revision of the negotiation text presented by you, Mr Chairman, which includes a brief summary of contents. It is a first step in the right direction. The regrouping of Member States' positions in the revised text renders similar positions and existing overlaps more visible and is, therefore, helpful. However, the text still comprises more than 30 pages, similar to the first and second versions. Let us be realistic: the Membership cannot negotiate a reform of the Security Council on the basis of a text of this length. The number of pages must be considerably reduced, clear minority positions need to be eliminated. We need a text which reflects the majority positions of Member States on the essential elements of the reform. We should focus on those principles on which we have already reached broad agreement - and try to narrow down our differences from that point onwards. Germany will support any efforts directed at achieving these goals.
Mr Chairman,
We agree with your statement in your letter of February 23 that the process of Security Council reform should evolve in a membership-driven manner. The ongoing process needs guidance from the Chair, but it also needs complementary initiatives coming from the Membership, initiatives which build upon the ongoing process in the informal plenary. A good example is the written request put forward by more than 140 countries in a joint letter at the beginning of last year in which these countries asked to continue the reform process on the basis of a negotiation text. More initiatives will be needed to take the process forward and to kick-start "real" negotiations.
Mr Chairman,
discussions on Security Council reform have been going on for almost 20 years. The world around us has been changing, but the UN has so far been unable to reflect the ongoing developments. It is now high time that the reform process deliver the results needed to adapt the Security Council to the realities of the 21st century. We should therefore work together in a spirit of true cooperation in order to take the process towards a concrete outcome in the current session of the General Assembly. There is no more time to lose.
Thank you for your attention.

Government Web and Media Conference Highlights Newest Tools and Collaboration
Video Length: 1 minute 06 seconds
GSA's Web Manager University Conference kicked off as more than 500 attendees packed a downtown Washington hotel to learn the latest information about new media's growing importance, citizen engagement, and collaboration between citizens and government.
In her welcoming remarks via video calling technology, GSA Administrator Martha N. Johnson outlined her vision for GSA as a resource to the federal community to develop practical strategies and real solutions for transparency and the use of new media tools in outreach to the public. Johnson also stressed the need for collaboration across all levels of government.
"The real challenge is collaboration, and I am eager to connect with our customers," said Johnson. "It's important to listen deeply to our customers' needs and find out more about collaboration and what tools we can use."
In the main plenary session, GSA Office of Citizen Services Associate Administrator David McClure participated in a new media panel discussion with Federal Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra, and Macon Phillips, Special Assistant to the President and White House Director of New Media. McClure highlighted an overview of practical open government strategies and the importance of agencies using governmentwide solutions. He also emphasized building strategies for transparency and the use of new media tools.
The sold-out event's plenary sessions included discussion of such topics as GSA's Federal Center for New media and Citizen Engagement, 10 management truths for the web age, and getting serious about customer service.
The two-day event represents the largest gathering of federal, state, and local government web and new media professionals in the country. It features visionaries from within government, as well as executives from private-sector companies such as Amazon, Starbucks, and Craigslist.

Beastie Boys memoir in the works
Listen to the Beastie Boys on iHeartRadio
The story of how Michael "Mike D" Diamond, Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz and Adam "MCA" Yauch came to be the Beastie Boys is heading to press.
Surviving members Mike D and Ad Rock are writing a book about the legendary hip-hop outfit after landing a book deal with Random House Publishing Group's Spiegel & Grau. The announcement comes almost year after Yauch's death following a three-year battle with cancer.
The New York Times says the still-untitled book is planned for release in 2015. The Beasties' publisher says the book will take a different tack from your average memoir. Julie Grau of Spiegel & Grau tells the "Times," "There is a kaleidoscopic frame of reference and it asks a reader to keep up."
Hip-hop journalist Sacha Jenkins will edit the book. According to the paper, it's expected to be "loosely structured as an oral history" and "strong visual component."

Best Of :: People & Places
A nearly two-mile stretch on Old Litchfield Road, between Indian School Road and Bird Lane in the West Valley, is guarded by palm and citrus trees standing like attentive soldiers on a carpet of grass. It's a slow-moving street of elegant brick homes with deep setbacks, shrouded with trees. Many of the homes with red-tile rooftops share a common backyard — a golf course and lake. It's worth a drive during a stay-cation at the Wigwam or just during an exploration drive into the wild West. Old Litchfield takes you past upscale shops, sushi restaurants, the Wigwam Resort, and a spa, but makes room for the stuff of life — an elementary school, a library and community swimming pool, and several churches.
Climate change will mean routine, human-killing temperatures of 130 and higher during the summer. All water sources will dry up, sparking extreme conservation efforts. Farming will become impossible. Wildfires will transform the state's forests and highlands into the ashen landscape depicted in The Road. Welcome to the vision of worrywarts like Will deBuys, author of a March piece on slate.com titled "Phoenix May Not Survive Climate Change," and Andrew Ross, who wrote the 2011 book Bird on Fire: Lessons from the World's Least Sustainable City.
But allow us to retort: Truth is, reports of Phoenix's impending demise are premature. State officials expect the population of the Phoenix area to nearly double by 2050 — to about 6 million. And no one should die of thirst: Phoenix and its suburbs have a multifaceted water supply more robust than any other major Southwest city. Sure, we'll have problems in the future. But it's the height of pessimism to claim that everyone will flee to perceived greener pastures rather than cope with the challenges. Don't you believe it.
We never turn down the opportunity to catch a rooftop view of the city, so when the chance to see Phoenix from the top of the Icehouse came up during an impromptu trip to the historic building now known for its contemporary art exhibitions, we bit. Little did we know it was going to take more than just a quick trip in an elevator to get to the roof.
Fair warning: This isn't a trip for the faint of heart — and by the time we publish this award, it might be a trip that's no longer an option for those who haven't signed some sort of waiver. Our guide took us up the stairs to the Icehouse's third floor. We climbed up the creaky ladder resting against the building's open elevator shaft (that's been out of commission for years), balanced on a metal beam that separates the open air about 10 feet off the third floor and 30 feet down the shaft, and jumped onto a platform that can best be described as unreliable.
From there, we navigated the building's attic, making sure to walk on supported ceiling beams, found a rusty chair under a manmade hold, and took another leap of faith up and onto the building's roof. A very untraditional view of Phoenix — warehouse tops, train tracks, high rises, and the quickly developing construction zone that will one day host Sheriff Joe Arpaio's fancy new offices — is the backdrop to this view. And, man, is it worth it — once you figure out how to get back down to tell the story.
We've had a culture crush on Alberto Rios for as long as we can remember, so we were delighted to see the ASU English professor and celebrated author honored with the position as the state's first poet laureate. Rios is a sweet, soft-spoken (both in person and in print) man with roots in Nogales. If anyone "gets" Arizona, it's him. But don't let us tell you that. We'll let Rios' words — from the conclusion of a poem called "In Us This Day" that he wrote on the occasion of former Governor Janet Napolitano's 2003 inauguration — show why he's the best:
We are in a border time,
The border between countries, between centuries,
The border between yesterday and tomorrow,
What we have been and what we are going to be.
We are a state of many languages, many cultures.
We must translate this into a state with many ideas.
Let us choose the best from this treasury of dreams.
Let us create a future
We would want to speak in any language.
We should not try to predict the future —
Instead, let us make it, and let us make it our own.
Thanks to Aidy Bryant, we'll never think of acupuncture or Mrs. Claus the same way again. Not since David Spade took his place as a cast member of Saturday Night Live have we had a hometown kid to wait up for (albeit only till 10:30). To be honest, our SNL viewing habits had waned. Then came Aidy — a Xavier High School graduate raised in Phoenix, fresh from a stint at Chicago's Second City, and Lorne Michaels' newest hire. This past year, we watched for her in every episode. We loved her in "Girlfriends' Talk Show" and teared up a bit when — as Candy Crowley — she got to yell, "Live from New York, it's Saturday night!" Yes, we are officially Aidy Bryant groupies. She's back on SNL for another season. Come Saturday night, you'll know where to find us: the couch.
We tried to see Grumpy Cat in person once. It was awful. And we say this only because the famous frowny feline of Internet fame wound up canceling. "Good," as we're sure she would say. The viewing was supposed to happen during an appearance by Tardar Sauce at last year's Great Southwest Scooter Fiesta in Gilbert before owner Tabatha Bundesen, who resides in the Valley, nixed the "interview" due to an overwhelming amount of media appearances at the time. And things haven't slowed down since. For the three of you not familiar with Tardar Sauce's backstory, the renowned sourpuss suffers from feline dwarfism, which causes her famous frown. Bundesen's brother posted a photo of Tardar to Reddit a year ago on a whim, and overnight fame ensued. The Internet found its newest hero, and Grumpy Cat's frown became the face that launched millions of memes. And make no mistake: Grumpy Cat was the biggest meme of 2012. (Sorry, Bad Luck Brian.) And this year looks to be even bigger. She's everywhere — on TV, in commercials, even in her own book. A movie reportedly is in the works, as is "Grumppucino" iced coffee beverages with her now-iconic mug on the label. And now a Best of Phoenix plaque to go along with it. Wonder what she'll say? Oh, yeah, that's right.

Thursday was all about materials. My day began with a panel session titled, "After the Storm: Recovering (Materials) from a Natural Disaster," which included three speakers from Kansas City, Mo. firms: Nathan Benjamin, founder and CEO of materials consulting firm PlanetReuse; Ryan Evans, founder of service-learning nonprofit Historic Green and an engineer at the Kansas City office of Henderson Engineers; and Jeremy Knoll, project manager at BNIM Architects. The panelists discussed material recycling as a component of both initial and extended disaster recovery.
The current precedent for natural disaster recovery entails local relief organizations along with the building community swooping in, removing debris to a landfill, and starting new construction on the site with a clean slate. Instead of that approach, the panelists argued, the design-build community should consider the social and economic impact of salvaging and reusing materials from buildings leveled or severely damaged—including local job training and the restoration of proven materials.
"It's a built-in asset," Knoll says. "These materials are valuable in ways that new materials are not. They've weathered in place…they've stood the test of time. Keeping that in the community keeps that story. It keeps that built-in value right where it is."
Out on the exhibit hall floor, manufacturers of all sizes showcased products that incorporate recycled materials in innovative ways. ReWall panels (above, with added décor) contain no VOCs and are made by a Des Moines, Iowa company from 100 percent recycled polyethylene-coated cups and cartons (juice boxes, for instance) as an alternative to drywall, sheathing, plywood, OSB, and ceiling tiles. Manufacturing the product doesn't require the use of adhesives, but rather uses high heat to compact and melt it together. Also worth a note is Agristrand's Harvest Gold particleboard, which uses soybean fibers sourced within 75 miles of the manufacturer's Mankato, Minn., plant. The formaldehyde-free composite board is also available as a decorative panel for applications such as wainscoting.
Editor's note: Ecobuildingpulse.com's parent company Hanley Wood recently entered into a strategic partnership with USGBC regarding the management of the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo. For more information on that relationship, click here.

If there was one word that best described Frank Zolin, it would be integrity - in work and at play, his family said.
"He will be remembered by his family and many friends for his integrity, intellect, kindness and his curiosity," said his wife of 20 years and former Long Beach city councilwoman, Jan Hill Zolin.
A public memorial service will be held Sept. 8 for Zolin, who died Aug. 21 at age 79.
"He was a wonderful husband," his wife said. "We were magical together."
From public policy to public administration, Zolin had a passion for learning, she said.
"He was special and brought a special kind of inspiration to whoever he met because he was so honest and good," Jan Zolin said.
Zolin retired in 1997 after more than 40 years with the County of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Superior Court and State of California. He continued to participate in a variety of public and professional activities part time.
Zolin also loved to have a good time, his wife said.
"He was super fun. He loved life. He was curious, loved art, music, dancing and his grandchildren," she said. "He also loved to help people and was a mentor to many, many people in all walks of life."
In addition to his wife, Zolin is survived by three stepdaughters, Jill and husband Larry Erps of Tulsa, Okla., Jody and husband Dave Lewis of Rocklin, Calif., Jaclyn and husband Andy Hesson of Westerville, Ohio; a stepson, Jeff and wife Tanya Hall of Long Beach; eight grandchildren and a niece.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Sept. 8 at at The Grand, 4101 E. Willow St., Long Beach.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to USC Sol Price School of Public Policy, Attn: Brent Watson, For Frank Zolin Memorial, 1150 S. Olive St., Ste 1500, Los Angeles, CA 90015.

'"He puts a smile on your face because I don't know if he ever gets excited," Ruff said. " … I think that's what's made him an effective goaltender. For his size (listed at 5-foot-10), he's got this calmness, he's got a patience about him that you don't see out of many goaltenders."'
Sabres' Weber quietly waiting for another turn
'"After last year, the part I played, the consistency I had, I was pretty happy with the way I performed and obviously pretty happy with training camp," Weber said Thursday morning prior to the Sabres' 4-2 win. "But obviously we added some key additions and some big names. It's put me in this situation again. I'm just trying to stay positive."'
Missing components surface to lift Sabres
'"We talked about it for the most part in our practices this week," said captain Jason Pominville, who scored twice and added an assist. "It was the focus of improving the power play and working on different things. We got some good looks [Thursday], did better things. If the power play doesn't click [Thursday], it might be a different story."'

He's been very good for us."'

'"Of course there's frustration building," Weber said. "I want to play. Sitting out is not easy. It's a tough situation when you have the caliber of defense that we have. There's seven of us, and every one of us is a top-six or top-four guy."'

Brendle scores 15 as Tornados fall to Pioneers, 87-57February 5, 2011
Fritz adds 14 points and four rebounds in Brevard loss
Brevard, N.C. - Three Tornados scored in double figures, but Brevard was unable to overcome a double-digit halftime deficit in falling to the visiting Pioneers behind Jasmine Gunn's 27 point effort on Saturday afternoon, 87-57.
Brevard (6-16, 2-10 SAC) was led by Lindsay Brendle as the junior guard scored 15 points in the game. Candice Fritz contributed 14 points and four rebounds, while Anna Schlobohm scored 12 points off the bench, adding a pair of steals as the Tornados fell for the second time to the visiting Pioneers this season.
Gunn led Tusculum (14-6, 10-2 SAC) with her 27 point performance, adding seven assists and seven rebounds to pace the Pioneers offense which shot 62.3 percent (33-53) from the floor in the game. Catherine Hintz added 20 points on nine of 12 shooting and pulled down six rebounds, while Kendal Baxter hit five three-pointers on her way to an 18 point game.
The Pioneers scored the first seven points of the contest with Gunn scoring four early before a three-pointer from the corner by Schlobohm put Brevard on the board at the 15:32 mark. Tusculum continued to press, eventually going up 27-5 as Baxter hit her second trey of the first half with 11:33 to play as the Pioneers built their largest lead of the first half at 22 points.
Brevard would fight back, closing the gap to 14 points with an 11-3 run capped by a pair of free throws by Brendle at the 6:38 mark. After Tusculum increased the lead back to 18 following four straight points by Gunn, Brevard against scrapped back in, this to getting within 10 as Micheala Watkins hit a three-pointer from the top of the key with 3:20 to play in the opening period.
Baxter's fourth three of the half would put the lead back to 13 as the Pioneers closed out the opening half with a 9-2 run to take a 45-28 lead into the locker room.
A floater in the paint by Watkins would open the second half as the Tornados cut the lead to 15, but the Staci Hicks would hit a jumper and a free throw to convert the old-fashioned three-point play and Gunn went in for a layup as the Pioneers went up by 20 at 50-30. Brevard would continue to attempt to bring the game back within striking distance, going seven of 11 from the free throw line in the second half, but Tusculum held the 22-10 rebound advantage in the second half in putting the game away, 87-57.
The Pioneers held the overall rebounding edge, 42-24, but the Tornados showed the ability to pressure the ball in forcing 14 Pioneers turnovers, while only coughing the ball up nine times.
Brevard remains at home next week as they host Catawba College on Wednesday, February 9th, in a rematch of the game held in Goodman Gymnasium on January 12th in Salisbury, N.C. where the Indians defeated the Tornados, 77-45. Tipoff between the Tornados and Indians in Boshamer Gymnasium is set for 6 p.m.

Michael Cosme was falsely convicted and eventually exonerated of two separate murders.
On January 17, 1995, 38-year-old Denise Raymond, a Federal Express executive, was bound, gagged and blindfolded in her Bronx apartment and shot twice in the head. Her body was found the following morning.
At 4:30 a.m. on January 19, less than 24 hours after Raymond was found, 43-year-old Baithe Diop, a driver for New Harlem Car Service, was fatally shot on a Bronx street about a block from Raymond's apartment in what police said appeared to be a robbery.
A woman named Catherine Gomez told police investigating the Raymond homicide that she heard a group of young men talking about the murder while she was in a Bronx park. Gomez said that on January 17, she heard the men talking about "robbing a taxi and a girl."
Police then found a woman named Miriam Tavares, a drug addict who regularly hung out in the park. Tavares, who spoke only Spanish, told police that she also had heard young men discussing the murder.
Ultimately, based on statements made by Tavares and Gomez, police charged Devon Ayers, 18, Michael Cosme, 19, Carlos Perez, 25, and Israel Vasquez, 17, with murdering Raymond at the behest of Raymond's former boyfriend, Charles McKinnon. Police said Raymond was killed because she rebuffed McKinnon's efforts to resume their relationship and threatened to tell police that McKinnon was dealing drugs. McKinnon was charged with conspiring to have the four kill Raymond.
Police said that while questioning Tavares, she told them that she had heard Diop being shot and saw a number of people flee from Diop's car after the shots were fired. She later identified them as Ayers, Cosme, Perez, Vasquez, 18-year-old Eric Glisson, and 27-year-old Cathy Watkins.
During their investigation, police learned that Diop had been dispatched to 30 W. 141st Street, where he picked up the people who robbed and killed him. Watkins was a resident of that building and police asked her to come into the police station. While there, she was asked to answer a telephone and pretend that she was ordering a car to pick her up. Police had also brought in the dispatcher who took the call that sent Diop to the 141st Street address, and she listened to Watkins' voice on the phone from another part of the station. After Watkins spoke, the dispatcher said she immediately recognized Watkins as the caller.
Watkins was then charged with Diop's murder, as were Ayers, Cosme, Perez, Vasquez and Glisson. Watkins did not know any of her co-defendants.
Ayers, Cosme, Perez and Vasquez went on trial for the murders of Raymond and Diop in May 1997. A key prosecution witness in the Raymond case was a friend of Raymond's, Kim Alexander, who said that on the evening before Raymond was murdered, McKinnon got into the elevator on an upper floor where Raymond and Alexander worked. Alexander said she rode down the elevator with Raymond and McKinnon and that they were arguing on the way down, and that the argument continued as McKinnon followed Raymond out of the building.
The prosecution relied on that testimony at the trial to argue that McKinnon then alerted Ayers and his co-defendants that Raymond was leaving so they would be ready to ambush her when she came home.
In May 1997, Ayers, Cosme and Perez were convicted of both murders and each was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison on each case, to be served consecutively. Vasquez was acquitted of the Diop murder, but convicted of murdering Raymond. However, an appeals court later reversed that conviction, ruling there was insufficient evidence of guilt.
In 1998, McKinnon was tried separately for the Raymond murder. As the trial neared its end, the prosecution disclosed for the first time that a security video from Raymond's office building directly contradicted Alexander's testimony because it showed Raymond and Alexander walking out together without McKinnon. The trial judge offered to declare a mistrial, but McKinnon chose to go forward with the trial and was acquitted. Thereafter, the record of the case was sealed.
In September 1997, Glisson and Watkins went on trial separately for the Diop murder and were convicted based on the testimony of the car service dispatcher, Gomez, and Tavares—although Tavares gave conflicting testimony that included seeing the shooting from a window that was apparently located in a place where it was impossible to view the crime. Tavares identified Glisson as the shooter. Glisson and Watkins were convicted of second-degree murder. Each was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
In 2003, federal authorities were investigating a Bronx narcotics gang called Sex Money and Murder, known as SMM. An investigator, John O'Malley, debriefed Jose Rodriguez and Gilbert Vega, both former members of the gang who were cooperating in the investigation. Both independently described being involved in the robbery of a livery driver in the Bronx in late 1994 or early 1995. They said that they had each shot the driver and fled and neither knew whether the driver had survived or died.
O'Malley, a former homicide detective in the Bronx, attempted to corroborate the statements, but was unable to track down the case without the name of the victim or any knowledge of whether it was a homicide at all.
Vega and Rodriguez ultimately pled guilty to robbery charges based on their own admissions.
In May 2012, federal prosecutors in New York received a letter from Glisson, who was serving his sentence at Sing Sing prison. Glisson wrote that he had heard that Diop's killers were members of the SMM gang. The letter was addressed to a prosecutor who no longer was in the U.S. Attorney's Office and by sheer luck was handed off to O'Malley, who instantly realized that the description of the crime in Glisson's letter matched what Rodriguez and Vega told him nine years earlier.
In June 2012, the Bronx County District Attorney's Office was provided a copy of Glisson's letter and after meeting with O'Malley, initiated a re-investigation of the murders of Raymond and Diop. By then, Tavares was dead, as was the trial prosecutor. In addition, Gomez had recanted her testimony as untrue. Investigators retrieved the call records of Diop's cell phone, which was stolen after he was killed, and the records showed that after Diop was killed, the phone was used to place calls to associates of Vega and Rodriguez.
After interviewing Vega and Rodriguez, the Bronx prosecutors were convinced of the innocence of Ayers, Cosme, Glisson, Perez, and Watkins, and agreed that their convictions for the Diop murder should be vacated.
The prosecution notified Centurion Ministries, a Princeton, New Jersey-based organization that investigates wrongful convictions, which then filed a motion on behalf of Watkins to dismiss the case. Peter Cross, a New York lawyer who began representing Glisson in 2006 at the behest of a nun at Sing Sing, Sister Joanna Chan who had come to believe Glisson was innocent, also filed a motion to dismiss the charges.
Glisson and Watkins were released from prison on bond in October 2012. On December 13, 2012, the charges against Glisson and Watkins were dismissed.
The charges against Ayers, Cosme and Perez for the Diop murder were dismissed on December 12, 2012, but they remained in prison for the Raymond murder.
Meanwhile, Vasquez had filed a civil rights lawsuit against the City of New York and the New York City Police Department in 2010. As the case progressed, lawyers for the city and police department turned over the security video from the McKinnon prosecution, which was then shown for the first time to lawyers for Ayers, Cosme and Perez. They then filed a motion to set aside their convictions arguing that the security video should have been disclosed to their attorneys at their trial. The motion also contended that because they had been tried and convicted simultaneously for the Raymond murder and the Diop murder, the jury in the Raymond case may have been influenced by the charges and evidence that they killed Diop, which had been revealed to be false.
On January 23, 2013, the Bronx County District Attorney's Office agreed that the motion should be granted. The convictions were vacated and Ayers, Cosme and Perez were released from prison. On September 20, 2013, the prosecution dismissed the charges.
Federal civil rights lawsuits were filed in 2014 on behalf of Ayers, Glisson, Perez, Watkins and Cosme. The lawsuits were settled for $8 million each in April 2016. Ayers, Watkins, Perez, and Glisson subsequently filed claims for compensation in the New York Court of Claims. Each received $3,890,000 in settlements.

The National Registry of Exonerations is a project of the Newkirk Center for Science & Society at University of California Irvine, the University of Michigan Law School and Michigan State University College of Law. It was founded in 2012 in conjunction with the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University School of Law. The Registry provides detailed information about every known exoneration in the United States since 1989—cases in which a person was wrongly convicted of a crime and later cleared of all the charges based on new evidence of innocence.
We welcome new information from any source about exonerations already on our list and about cases not in the Registry that might be exonerations.

First, see this thread to assuage your fears about not being able to get into the Soap Bubble. The new system that we are using for main programming lines (including the line for the Soap Bubble) is almost identical to the one we used last year. That system got the entire line into the Soap Bubble in a fairly timely manner; I anticipate it will do the same this year. Also, you will not have to line up hours ahead, because we will not let a line form hours ahead. (If you have questions about the procedure itself, make sure to post them over there, not in here.)
To answer your question, the Soap Bubble is closing at 3AM this year because that's how long the event is scheduled for. It has to do with staffer availability, DJ availability, the hotel's wishes, the Fire Marshal's wishes, and a cavalcade of other reasons that I can't go into, but the end result is that that's the end time for the event. I'm sorry if that seems a bit tautological or a bit of a non-answer, but it's the best that I can give someone outside staff.
