Steelman: McCaskill, Obama don't share our values
With four days left in the latest fundraising period, U. S. Senate candidate Sarah Steelman sent the following fundraising letter to supporters today:
Dear Friend,
It doesn't matter what the issue is; the politicians in Washington, D.C. continue to bicker and fight rather than pass legislation that will help American families and small businesses.
They have shown NO leadership on REAL spending cuts to rein in our huge deficits. They have not made the tough budget decisions that can get our economy back on track.
They let partisan politics get in the way of extending the payroll tax cuts -- and were willing to risk 160 million Americans waking up January 1st with a tax increase.
And, the politicians in Washington, D.C. wasted months trying to agree on a spending plan – AFTER creating a "Super Committee" that failed.
As I have traveled across Missouri over the last several months talking to people about the problems facing our country, frustration with the way business is run in Washington has been a constant theme.
Our nation faces many challenges and we need leaders who understand our values and concerns. But from the passage of ObamaCare, to the big spending programs that are busting our budget and adding to the spiraling national debt, it's obvious that President Obama and his key Senate ally, Claire McCaskill, are completely disconnected from us.
They don't have to deal with the same problems we do – and they don't share our values.
That's why I am running for U.S. Senate. It's time we send Barack Obama back to Illinois – and get Claire McCaskill out of Washington, D.C.!
Claire McCaskill pretends to be a moderate in Missouri, but in Washington D.C. she has voted like a liberal. In fact, despite McCaskill's claim to be independent, she voted with Barack Obama 97% of the time in 2010 according to Congressional Quarterly – including voting for ObamaCare and the massive Obama-Democrat accumulation of debt.
President Obama and Claire McCaskill have failed.
That's why I made a pact with you called "Sarah's Commitment" -- a list of eleven priorities I believe are essential to representing the people of Missouri. My pledge includes putting country before politics, subjecting myself to the same laws and privileges as every citizen of the United States, cutting Congressional salaries, budgets and pensions -- and term limiting myself to two terms.
I want to take those same conservative principles to Washington. I want to be your voice in the U.S. Senate.
The liberal special-interest groups and those who support the status quo in Washington, D.C. don't want to see me in the U.S. Senate because they know I'll stand up to their big government, Obama-style philosophy!
They know I'll not go along and play along.
They know I'll put you first.
I'll be your voice in the Senate. I'll do what's right for you -- not for politicians.
But I can only defeat Claire McCaskill and restore trust in government if I have your support. As 2011 comes to a close and we prepare for 2012, I need your help today. The fundraising push for the 2011 year-end report closes at midnight on December 31st -- and I need your help to end the reporting period on a high note.
So please help our campaign and give any amount you can as soon as possible.
We have over 4,500 grassroots donations from individuals who have generously given to the campaign, and I am grateful for that. But with this year-end reporting period, a donation of $10, $25, $50, $100 – or whatever you can give—will help us with our campaign and give us the momentum going into 2012.
With your help, we can bring fiscal responsibility and a strong Conservative to the U.S. Senate. Please make a donation today.

She would be just like Billy and get with the lobbyist as soon as she got there. They are all liars. The only value she has is lining her pockets just like the rest of them. If she will run on getting rid of the perks I might think about voting for her but fat chance of that.

oh she would run on getting rid of the perks or anything else she would have to say to get elected but all that would end if she was elected she would be a bumpkin billy clone
Want smarter representation?
Need smarter voters.

In a pig's eye Claire McCaskill and President Obama don't "share our values." Ms. Steelman, don't speak for me. I know you don't speak for a lot of us out here. If you think you do, then see to it there are campaign contribution limits so corporations and the wealthy can't buy our representatives and so, then, our legislation and ultimately, our government. Do that and then come talk to me.

Home prices in 20 U.S. metropolitan regions rose 2% in August, according to the latest Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller Home Price Index, published in late October. New-home sales stepped up to their highest level in more than two years, as well, when the pace of homebuilding hit a four-year high in September. All of this is happening while mortgage rates are at near-record lows, giving a further boost to residential real estate.
Such data indicate that the housing market is bouncing back. I admit the recovery is still tentative, and could derail if the economy heads south. But, for now, the trends for the housing market are definitely pointing upward. This means that companies serving the housing market are potentially good investments at this time.
I have been looking into housing and housing-related stocks using my guru strategies, which are modeled after the strategies employed by renowned Wall Street investors. Few homebuilders, if any, merit approval under these strategies. But two companies are positioned to benefit from a sustained housing market revival do get high grades.
The first of these is Tempur-Pedic (TPX), maker of the well-known eponymous foam mattress. According to a strategy that I base on the writings of Joel Greenblatt, investors can sleep soundly while owning this stock. My strategy here incorporates two variables -- earnings yield and return on total capital -- and uses these variables to rank the thousands of stocks in our database. Then it comes up with a final ranking. Tempur-Pedic ranks No. 168 based on earnings yield, No. 88 based on return on total capital and, impressively, No. 28 overall. Note that Tempur-Pedic is also in the process of buying major mattress manufacturer, Sealy (ZZ).
Another company that's well positioned for the housing-market revival is Wells Fargo (WFC), the country's largest private mortgage lender. Wells gets the approval of my Peter Lynch-based strategy, which utilizes the P/E/G ratio, or price to earnings relative to growth, to indicate how much you are paying for growth. A P/E/G of up to 1.0 is acceptable and below 0.50 is impressive; Wells Fargo is in impressive territory, with a P/E/G of 0.47. In addition, the bank's equity-to-assets ratio of 11% is more than twice the 5% minimum that my strategy requires.
If you are willing to bank on a housing revival, consider both of these companies for your portfolio.

An anonymous reader tipped us to news of an interesting hack for the Oculus Rift: a simulation of being beheaded by a Guillotine. Thrown together in a couple of days at the Exile Code Jam, the simulation lets you... "look around to see the blade above, the crowd of onlookers around them, and the executioner who signals the blade be dropped. It also enhances the experience when someone watches the blade falling on a nearby screen and taps the user on the back of the neck at the time of impact." Just a bit morbid. There's a video of people "playing" (nsfw language in a few reactions to being virtually beheaded).

Niese solid in return, but Mets held in check
Lefty allows two runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings with four strikeouts
NEW YORK -- The ball that would have won Sunday's game for the Mets arced off Travis d'Arnaud's bat, snapping more than 26,000 fans at Citi Field to attention. It gained momentum as it soared over the infield. Fans craned their necks. D'Arnaud figured it was gone. And then it began tumbling downward, downward, into Ryan Ludwick's glove at the warning track.
As the ball died, so too did the Mets' best chance to convert Jon Niese's strong return from the disabled list into a win. Instead the Mets lost to the Reds, 2-1, in a game that revived many of their early-season problems.
"From a catching aspect, I feel like it's my fault," d'Arnaud said.
The rookie backstop was referring mostly to his handling of Niese and the pitching staff, though pitching was hardly the Mets' problem in this one. Instead it was an offense that could not do much of anything against Reds starter Alfredo Simon.
D'Arnaud's 0-for-3 punctuated all that, extending his season-opening slump to 0-for-15.
Still, his chance for redemption was there in the seventh. With the Mets trailing by a run, Ike Davis opened the inning with his second hit of the game off Simon, but Juan Lagares' first-pitch pop-up shaved some life off the rally. D'Arnaud was equally impatient, swinging at the first pitch, though his result was better: a long fly ball careening straight toward the retired numbers pasted on Citi's left-field fence.
The ball simply never made it, leaving the Mets gasping for offense that would never come.
"I wouldn't say it's frustrating," said d'Arnaud, whose career batting average dropped to .175 in 36 games. "I still feel pretty confident."
In many ways, the Mets echoed d'Arnaud's sentiments, losing despite a positive mindset. Manager Terry Collins had nothing but good things to say about Niese, who cruised through five innings before unraveling in the sixth. Three consecutive singles to open the inning led to Joey Votto's sacrifice fly and Ludwick's RBI single, which was all the offense Cincinnati would need to avoid a three-game series sweep.
The Mets had scored an early run off Simon on back-to-back hits from Davis and Lagares in the second. But a more promising rally stalled one inning later when, with two men in scoring position and one out, Daniel Murphy and David Wright fanned in succession. Simon went on to retire 10 in a row, needing only 79 pitches to complete seven innings.
"I felt real comfortable," Simon said. "I know it had been 10 days since I was out there. I just tried to do my best today. Everything came through."
The result was a Mets loss less demoralizing than others. Collins was satisfied with Niese, who felt no discomfort in the balky left elbow that forced him to begin this season on the disabled list. And he was happy with the bullpen, which leaned on Gonzalez Germen, Kyle Farnsworth and Jose Valverde to pick up Niese's slack.
Collins' only real issue was with the lineup, which struggled to convert its out-of-character aggressive approach into runs.
D'Arnaud typified that approach, swinging at Simon's first offering in all three of his at-bats and seeing a total of six pitches in the game. In the second inning, he fouled off a high fastball before eventually grounding out on a pitcher's pitch near the outside corner. In the fifth, he drilled an up-and-away cutter to center field, where Chris Heisey handled it. And in the seventh, he smacked the fly ball that would have won the game with a little more oomph.
The Mets did not mind their catcher's approach, considering it twice resulted in hard contact. And they believe d'Arnaud, who seemed to be gaining steam toward the end of Spring Training, will eventually right himself and enjoy a productive season.
It just is not happening now, making him one of several primary scapegoats in a scuffling lineup.
"I'm worried about his mental approach more than anything," Collins said. "Certainly he came into the season not only as an integral part of the defense, but the offense. His spot in that lineup, we've got to get some production out of it. He's got to battle through it. There are no easy answers here."

Despite all the brilliant-ness of this tax system, it has some shortcomings. Here I will try to cover all the problems I can think of before anyone else points them out!

Whenever there are changes to the tax system, you always find people who say "We're worse off now than before!" Yeah well, you can't please everybody all the time. And that's usually because the changes are too abrupt. The government decides to tax him less and her more after July 1, so the changes will be sudden and potentially disruptive. Continue reading

Since moving to a free-to-play model, Dungeons & Dragons online has seen a 40 percent increase in subscribers, the developer Turbine said in an interview with Ars Technica
The game's free account mode limits players in classes, races and quests, which can be bought via microtransaction or though a full-boat $15 monthly subscription.
"We have a good chunk of the population that is spending more than $15 a month," said the Turbine executive producer Fernando Paiz. "The traditional subscription model can only make X dollars off a player. This kind of removes that cap.
"[Free players] get to try the game, not be constrained by a one-week trial, and then decide when they've made the commitment that they're engaged enough that they're ready to spend money," he added.

Confirmatory Factor Analysis

I ran a CFA with 2 factors. I note that the value in the first column of output for Factor2 with Factor1 doesn't match the correlation between the factors provided by the Tech 4 option. However, the value in the output in the far right column under the heading StdYX does match the Tech 4 value.
1. Assuming the value in the Tech 4 output is truly the correlation of the factors, does this mean that the value in the first column to the right of Factor 2 With Factor 1 of the output is really the covariance of the factors and not their correlation?
2.If the values printed in the first column are not covariances and they're not the correlation, could you explain why they're different from the correlations from Tech 4? (I read a reply by Bengt to a similar question where he said that "if the factors are dependent variables the regular output concerns the residual correlation". I need his explanation unpacked a little. I haven't specified the factors to depend on anything in my model.)
Thanks for explaining more about how the "correlations" in the output and from the Tech4 option differ.

posted on Wednesday, June 21, 2006 - 9:47 am
The value in the first column is a covariance. StdYX is a standardized covariance. The value is TECH4 is a correlation. These two values will be close.
If you have a covariate in the model, the value in the first column is a residual covariance and the standardized value is a standardized residual covariances. The value in TECH4 is a model estimated correlation.

Related to this point, in my model I have a latent quadratic growth parameter whose variance has been fixed. Accordingly, there are no covariances estimated between other variables and this quadratic term. However, the TECH4 output reports correlations with this term--how can that be if I have fixed the variance?

You probably have covariates in your model in which case you have fixed the residual variance to zero not the variance.
posted on Wednesday, January 03, 2018 - 12:28 pm
Why does the Tech4 correlation table change depending on the model specification? If I'm looking for bivariate correlations between latent and manifest variables, how should I specify the model?

Tech4 gives the model-estimated values - that's why values change depending on the model.
If Tech4 doesn't give correlations involving manifests, just put a factor measured without error behind the manifest.

Scarf Amor Brown
- Product Code: 0610-105
- Availability: In Stock
The design is inspired by an antique Nuptial Casket, manufactured in Naples in the IV Century, from the Angevin period.
It has been realized with a sequence of words that play around the matrix "amor".
The wording Amor-Amorf-Anort, when the Italian language at his starts, was defining new idioms into the fascinating Neapolitan "volgare"-
Inscribed on top of the Casket, with the Mermaids playing the Mandolin, allude to the conception of "Love" that emphasized nobility and chivalry and was known as "Amor Cortese" – Courtly Love.
Racemes, birds of various nature, mammal, Mermaids who play different musical instruments complete the design.
The full design has been edited on scarves, pashminas, pocket handkerchiefs, ashtray..
Printed silk with hand stitched hem.
Size: 90x90 cm
100% Silk Twill

Latent Variable Mixture Modeling
posted on Friday, February 26, 2010 - 4:32 pm
Dear Dr Muthen, I am wondering what is MLF ? Mplus User's Guide only provided very limited information. Would you provide more reference with regard to this estimation method? How does it differ from MLR ? When would you consider to use MLF
rather than MLR?
Thank you.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Saturday, February 27, 2010 - 6:10 am
MLF is a common approach in statistics to computing SEs and is defined in equation (168) of the Mplus Technical Appendices ("through Version 2") on the web site. It uses the sums of products of first-order derivatives. It is a simpler estimator of SEs than ML and MLR because they also use approximations of second-order derivatives. In large samples the 3 methods are equivalent. When samples are not large it depends on the situation (distributional violations, non-independence) which is best. MLR is often preferrable given its robustness. In some cases, MLR SEs cannot be computed in which case Mplus switches to MLF. I am not aware of studies providing a comprehensive comparison of the 3 methods for the large sets of models that Mplus offers.

Dear Dr. Muthen,
I am running the mixture model for murder rates at the county level. My sample size is quite large (N=2700). I use the ML estimator, but only 1-class model has executed normally with ML estimator. Starting with 2-class model, I am getting a warning about � �a non-positive Fisher information matrix,� and the results are presented for the MLF estimator. In your earlier post you said that in large samples, Ml, MLR and MLF are equivalent. Do you think my sample size is large enough for accepting the results based on MLF, or I need to try to modify my model to get a solution based on ML or MLR estimators? Thank you. Arina.

The MLF estimator should be fine at this sample size.

Dear Dr. Muthen,
I was running a series of mixture models with varying number of classes for the rates of female aggregated assault at the county level simultaneously. The 1-, 2-, 3- and 5- and 6-classs models terminated normally, but the 4-class model did not. The warning said �the model could not converge.� Should I disregard the 5- and 6-class solutions before I modify a 4-class model?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Monday, April 02, 2012 - 9:14 am
I would try more random starts for the 4-class model, for example STARTS = 400 100; I would not disregard the 5- and 6-class solutions.
Arina Gertseva
posted on Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - 9:43 am
Dear Linda, I tried more random starts for the 4-class model. I went up to 1000, and I also increased the number of miterations. All that did not help.
Linda K. Muthen

Try more like 2000 500 or 5000 1000. If you continue to have problems, send the output and your license number to

Hello Mplus Team,
I have used "Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling" in my research. The "Within-level" sample size is 8 observations per cluster. The "Between-level" sample size is 50 clusters. I have used the "MLF estimator" to run the "Multilevel Structural Equation Modeling". Is my sample size sufficient?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, February 18, 2020 - 5:22 pm
I would recommend MLR instead.

Outfit Details:
lace jacket - self made (with leftover lace from my sister's wedding dress)
Madison Marcus floral maxi dress - c/o Madison Marcus
belt - thrifted
True to my word, I made it my mission to take a day trip out of the city, this weekend. This might seem like quite an easy feat, and while it usually is - especially since we have a car - the usual happened. And by the usual, I mean I had a stroke of bad luck. Well, to be fair, this was less about my own luck and more about Bobby being Bobby and forgetting that there are strict parking enforcements. You see, he's a head in the clouds, sunshiney and smiley guy; he's the balance to my doom and gloom, rain on your parade with loads of logic disposition I can sometimes have. He's a combination of Pooh, Piglet and Tigger - I'm Eeyore, Rabbit and Owl. Miku is Roo, if you're wondering. Her job is just being really adorable and getting carried around.
It's great that Bobby's so carefree, except when it comes to things like...not getting parking tickets. But instead of just a ticket, Bobby's car got towed on Friday, and we couldn't pick it up until Monday. It sometimes seems that Murphy's Law likes to follow me around and play peek-a-boo whenever I have plans, but no matter, because I'm a resourceful gal and there are rental cars for a reason. Boom! There's my logic, raining all over you. It also took us to the countryside and we had a pretty magical time. Not Hundred Acre Woods magical, but enough to help me catch my breath. And sometimes, that's all a gal needs.

We're Always Evolving
For over a decade we've helped clients from the biggest brands in the world to your local barbershop better manage their internal processes and client experiences with custom web based solutions.
We've been around long enough to remember the days of having to build and deploy web platforms from scratch. For years it was common practice for us to lease, configure and deploy a physical server, install an over featured and under secured control panel, and add – ever so slowly – features to our custom CMS framework.
The old way of development was laborious, stressful and ultimately "black magic" to the client. Everything that was hard and time intensive would go sight unseen. We always found a way to deliver a solid product but always craved more time for refinement.
Fortunately, that's no longer the case. In building everything ourselves we were prepared for the amazing efficiencies created by today's connected web platforms and services. Mixing, matching, integrating and refining is now where spend most of our time on projects because we can leverage and connect existing web services which, in turn, let us maximize the time we spend on refinement.
These days, we deploy virtual machines that are managed and secured with focused services like Server Pilot and Cloudflare, we plug in to services like Mailgun and Twilio to notify and connect users and build transactional platforms on top of WordPress. By approaching WordPress as a development platform – rather than a just a simple CMS tool – we can deploy and design highly refined, transactionally focused web services that work the way our clients want them to work.
Sound good? If you're willing to invest in your digital platform, get in touch and let's get stuff done.
Want to work with us?
An elegant web based solution requires a serious financial and time investment from the client. For a starter website, we recommend a budget of at least $15,000 to cover our conceptualization, design and build out time. Our custom process platforms start at $30,000. Think of your web project as an employee that works for you 24/7 and you'll understand why it's worth the investment for a refined, focused web based solution.
If you're looking for pricing and more information on setting up and configuring Vend, please head to Resurva.

A Warrior's Tale
Warrior Within takes place several years after the events of The Sands of Time. The Prince, having originally released the Sands, is being hunted by the Dahaka, guardian of the timeline. The Dahaka is a massive dark warrior that serves fate and will pursue the Prince until he is dead. Desperate and weary from the years of running, the Prince makes a final play, heading to the Island of Time. The hope is that if the Prince can somehow go into the past, he can stop the Empress before she ever creates the Sands of Time, meaning he would never have opened them and the Dahaka would have no cause for its hunt.
The premise certainly sounds good and the story of Warrior Within has more complexity than the simpler fable of The Sands of Time. Ubisoft chose to use this story to darken the Prince, draping him in a morose take-crap-from-no-one attitude, changing voice actors to provide the Prince with an edgy Clint Eastwood snarl, and giving him such novel lines as, "You bitch!" No, this is not Sands of Time, this is the new Prince of Persia and the idea of a dark character, dark atmosphere, and dark story are forced down your throat from start to finish. It's too much, too forced, and frankly, not as appealing as the Prince of old. From a thematic perspective, it's a step backwards, even though the gameplay remains excellent.
In Ubisoft's decision to make a bad-ass, no-nonsense Prince gamer's could better identify with, they instead made the Prince more generic than before. It's the Arbanian theme, the whimsical feel and luscious bloom lighting of The Sands of Time that helped it stand out among other action games. And though the gameplay mechanics remain unique to the world of the Prince, the character seems like a quick selection from video game Central Casting.
There is no Farah in this adventure, no white dove that shows some light in the darkness. There is nothing to contrast the gloom seen throughout Warrior Within. The Prince is not out to save the world, he's out to save himself at the cost of anyone who gets in his way. This isn't even a tale of revenge. It's easier to empathize with the Prince from The Sands of Time, because he's likeable, and he's at least trying to do the right thing. The only character in peril this time is the Prince. He's not a hero this time out, he's just a guy trying to save his own ass.
Though the dark look and feel of Warrior Within were off-putting at first, once I got past those elements, I fell in love with POP all over again. Warrior Within is quite an enjoyable gameplay experience. With many of last year's complaints addressed, it would be tough for any Prince fan not to enjoy the sequel, just don't expect to love it as much as the first.
The Prince of Persia's Excellent Adventure
As with The Sands of Time, Warrior Within sets you in a confined environment (this time an island), throws enemies in your path, and has you perform acrobatic feats that would seem to defy gravity. Once more you will run along walls, swing off bars and fly through the air like a trapeze artist. Though the essence of POP remains, the game's structure is a little different.

Helias Players Given a Second Chance at State Title and Life
Related Story
JEFFERSON CITY - Senior year is the last chance for most high school athletes to get a shot at glory.
After losing to Webb City 49-14 in last year's Class 4 State Championship, the Helias Crusaders knew they had a good chance to return to the dome with 31 seniors returning. Two of those seniors, Garrett Buschjost and Tryston Bax knew that this year's team would be special.
"We knew we would have a better team this year, so yeah there's no way I could have missed it this year," Bax said.
"We didn't win state last year, so I definitely think that's something we wanted to come back and get," Buschjost said.
The two also share a love for baseball and hunting, something they both enjoy doing away from the gridiron, but that all was put on hold one night.
While driving to a friends house, Garrett, Tryston, and their friend Haydon Lee were traveling along Upper Bottom Road in Saint Thomas. Garrett was driving on the right side of the road and started to veer off the road, brushing gravel out onto the road. After multiple attempts to hit the breaks, the boys endured the ride of their lives.
"We kind of did a Dukes of Hazzard sort of thing off the guard rail," Lee said. "After we hit the ground, we started to roll, and it was a wild ride until we landed on all fours again and regained our composure."
"We were probably one centimeter away from not walking for the rest of our lives," Bax said.
"It's a miracle nothing worse happened," Lee said.
When the boys got out of the car, they said the adrenaline that was going through them was enough to make them not realize the damage that had been done. They were able to make phone calls to all their parents before the paramedics arrived on the scene.
"When we first received the phone call, we were finishing up watching the ballgame, I could tell by Charles face that something was wrong," Pam Bax, Tryston's mom, said, "and as a parent you never want to receive a phone call saying your child has been in an accident, but when he said Tryston was the one that called, I felt a little better; however, when we arrived at the hospital, it was definitely an eye opening experience."
Haydon suffered some cuts and bruises, but Garrett and Tryston broke their backs and necks. Tryston also broke his sternum and hand. They both broke the same vertebrae, their C-6, which is about a quarter of an inch thick, and had it been more severe, both of them may not be around today.
"One-way or the other, paraplegic, or like the doctor said if it had gone the other way, massive heart attack," Charles Bax, Tryston's dad said. "That was probably the longest 24 hours of our life."
Both were instructed to be in a neck brace and Tryston was instructed to be in a back brace as well 24/7, making taking care of him comparable to taking care of a child.
"I mean yeah, obviously he's not a small kid," Mrs. Bax said, "So taking care of him was no easy task, it was something we gratefully did. I mean it could've been we may have not had a chance to go to the hospital."
The doctors said the only thing both should do is really just relax and watch TV, which sounds nice but not for two three sport athletes who are used to being active.
"I mean there were some nights where we would take him [Garrett] to Dick's Sporting Goods so he could walk around because you know he wasn't used to just sitting around," Jackie Buschjost, Garrett's mom said.
Three months into their recovery, they received their first piece of good news, which propelled them to strive for full recovery.
"The entire way down to the doctor's office, Tryston's asking, 'Will I get to play sports?'" Mrs. Bax said. "I didn't know what to say because I knew there was a chance he wouldn't play sports again. And the doctor goes 'I see no reason why you can't play baseball.'"
Both cleared to play baseball in the summer, but they wanted more.
"But immediately after," Mrs. Bax said, "he said, 'Well what about football?' I think Charles and I both held our breath because we knew baseball was a possibility but we weren't quite sure he would ever be able to play football again."
"And well, he said yeah you can start lifting and playing football again," Tryston said, "and it all just lit up from there."
"There was a gleam in his eye, the smile was broader, he was sitting a little taller, and from then on we knew his recovery would be complete" Mrs. Bax said.
But Garrett got the same exact news, something that brought up a familiar characteristic known to him.
"When we got the news he was all smiles," Mark Buschjost said, "He smiles all the time, but this was smile that you couldn't wipe off his face."
And both were smiling because they knew they had been blessed with a second chance.
"We could've not been playing sports anymore after that night, and I'm just taking everything day by day and not looking too far into the future and living your life how you want it to be," Garrett said.

Pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough or 100-day cough. It is a respiratory tract infection characterized by a paroxysmal cough. It is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. Pertussis remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in infants younger than 2 years.
Pertussis takes about 7 to 10 days for signs and symptoms to appear. Some of the common symptoms are runny nose, Nasal congestion, Red, watery eyes, Cough, Rhinorrhea, Sneezing, Low-grade fever, Tearing, Conjunctival suffusion .After two weeks , signs and symptoms will worse. Thick mucus accumulates inside your airways, causing uncontrollable coughing leading to provoked vomiting, red or blue face, extreme fatigue, high-pitched "whoop" sound during the next breath of air. Infants may not cough at all. Instead, they may struggle to breathe, or they may even temporarily stop breathing.
Pertussis can be treated by focussing on limiting the number of paroxysms, Observing the severity of cough and providing assistance when necessary, Maximizing nutrition, rest, and recovery, Pharmacologic therapy, Antimicrobial agents and antibiotics can hasten the eradication of B . Erythromycin, clarithromycin, and azithromycin are the preferred agents for patients aged 1 month or older and it can also be reduced by Immunization, CDC recommendations for vaccination, DTaP vaccine, Tdap vaccine.
Recent evaluation found ~ 50% reduction in infant pertussis if vaccinated > 1 month prior to disease onset.

text: Your studies – your commitment Our students demonstrate a high degree of personal responsibility and extraordinary dedication. We encourage our students to go forth with an entrepreneurial spirit while pursuing their own objectives. An entrepreneur is someone who sets goals and makes autonomous decisions about how to use his or her resources – and assumes the risks that go with them. Finding your focus Students at HSG are encouraged to design and plan their own course of study. This means setting priorities and getting involved, for example, by joining one of the 100 student associations, by participating in the coaching and mentoring programme or by completing an exchange term at a partner university. Identifying your strengths Our university provides the ideal environment for students to develop a sense of self-reliance. We encourage and support our students in their efforts to set priorities and identify their individual strengths. Broadening horizons For many of our graduates, an exchange term at another university is one of the defining experiences of their time as students. Contact with other people and cultures, course structures, subjects and working methods enriches your whole experience as a student. Location and language do not play the decisive role here; what matters most is that spending time abroad offers you the chance to immerse yourself in a foreign culture. Holistic course architecture Intellectual skills, an integrative view, flexibility, responsibility and intercultural qualifications are of ever increasing importance today. To ensure that students are able to acquire these skills, we have a unique degree course architecture at the HSG. It creates the conditions required for our students' academic and personal development. An integrative view of economics, business administration, law, social science and the humanities characterises the HSG's profile and provides students with a holistic education at the highest academic level. Core Studies Core studies at the University of St.Gallen consist of compulsory subjects, core electives and electives, as well as the Bachelor's or Master's thesis. The compulsory subjects convey the basics of the degree course of the student's choice. Core electives consist of a wide range of programme-specific courses. Courses of other programmes are open to students among the electives. The extensive range of core electives and electives enables students to focus on issues which are of particular interest to them. Thus they are able to create an individual profile in addition to their chosen major, which will support them in the realisation of their professional and personal goals. Contextual Studies It is a particular feature of our degree course architecture that students do not only attend courses in core studies but also in Contextual Studies. In Contextual Studies, core studies in economic and legal sciences are complemented and reflected upon from various perspectives. Our students learn that economic decisions are always embedded in general societal, cultural and historical conditions and must therefore be viewed from an integrative angle. Students are thus educated to become personalities who are aware of their social responsibility and will be in a position later in life to act in a flexible, responsible and sustainable manner. Participate in student initiatives Student initiatives such as the renowned St.Gallen Symposium (ISC) have been a defining part of the HSG's image for decades and are one of the main pillars of our university. Student initiatives For many students (over 50%), taking on responsibility in student initiatives and standing up for others are a natural part of their time at university. In addition to high quality research and instruction, our students' outstanding community involvement is one of the defining characteristics of our university. Help to shape the HSG Student projects such as the graduate fair HSGtalents, the internationally renowned St.Gallen Symposium (ISC) and oikos (students for sustainable economics and management) are a defining part of the HSG's image. These projects are organised by students as an extracurricular supplement to their regular studies. With more than 100 clubs, initiatives, project teams and the Student Union, students work towards realising their ideas and play an active role in shaping the university. Many students invest a great deal of hard work and free time in their projects. Hands-on experience, unforgettable events Though unpaid, these types of community involvement offer students rewards in the form of hands-on experience, unforgettable experiences and many friendships. The University supports this involvement, not least through Campus Credits, which in some cases are equivalent to conventional coursework. Pursue your development in a focused manner Besides purely technical knowledge, we offer you the best conditions for your personal development. We support students at all levels of their studies by means of voluntary supervision programmes (coaching and mentoring programmes). Coaching and mentoring programmes Coaching programme We offer intensive, personal support to students in the Assessment Year through our voluntary coaching programme. In particular, the coaching programme fosters social competence and personal responsibility, leadership skills and the capacity for self-reflection. Mentoring programme An experienced person (mentor) helps a younger person (mentee) develop and expand his or her work competencies. Mentoring represents the relationship between two people who maintain regular contact and exchange ideas over an extended period of time, not only in the business context but on a personal level as well.

It's one thing to customize your mass-produced ride for which there are thousands of parts available. It's quite another to breathe life into someone else's insanity, like mating two rare post-war German microcars. Here's the story of the Frankenschmitt.
The Dr. Frankenstein in this instance is one Dan Gibson of Texas, who bought the car off eBay over a year ago when it was a rusting hulk of a failed project. The original idea: Take a three-wheel 1956 Messerschmitt KR200 and convert it to front-wheel-drive. The donor heart for the original mad scientist? Why a 1960 DKW 3=6 of course, the Auto Union's answer to the VW Beetle, powered by a two-stroke, three-cylinder engine.
Over the past year, Gibson has slowly chipped away at every hurdle that kept the Frankenschmitt off the road, from rust all over the body that's been stretched four feet for its new engine, to a lack of easy parts for his Germanic creation. At one point, frustrated by clutch demons, Gibson gave up and put Frankenschmitt up for sale on Craigslist, but then changed his mind.
By October, the zombie was roaring through the suburbs, a tiny car carrying an impressive amount of hard work. It also fits right in with the rest of his garage, which includes a well-restored Autocar. You can walk through the progress at Gibson's page here.

If the federal budget deficit was a stock, we'd say it crashed.
How else to describe a drop of more than a third in a short period of time?
As one report notes:
The U.S. government posted a narrower budget deficit in August compared with a year ago, keeping the annual gap on track to be the smallest in five years.
The deficit for August was $147.9 billion, the Treasury reported Friday. That brought the annual budget gap through the first 11 months to $755 billion, or 35 percent lower than the nearly $1.2 trillion in red ink for the same period last year.
The budget year ends on Sept. 30. The Congressional Budget Office projects the government will run a surplus this month, lowering the annual deficit to $642 billion. That would be the first annual deficit below $1 trillion in five years. [source]
Spending is down and revenue — from taxes and an improving economy — is up. The result: a much smaller deficit.
Yet tea party Republicans in Congress are still calling for massive cuts, claiming that the federal government's budget is out of control.
It isn't.
Moreover, it is proving exceedingly difficult to get agreement between House Republicans on a plan to pass a budget, which has to be done to prevent a federal government shutdown on October 1. Some are even balking on agreeing to pay accrued bills via raising the debt limit.
So the question is — do they not know the deficit has plunged or do they simply not care?
Sometimes it appears that legislators are unaware. You hear Republican legislators claiming that spending is out of control or, more mildly, that we have a "spending problem." They argue bigger cuts are needed (although not in defense) because the budget is a big, big problem.
In other words, they ignore the reality that the deficit has plunged and is simply not a real problem.
However, others maintain some degree of awareness of the deficit, even acknowledging that delaying or overturning Obamacare would increase the deficit.
Take this southern legislator, for example:
"Obamacare is the most dangerous piece of legislation ever passed in Congress," said Representative John Fleming, Republican of Louisiana. "It is the most existential threat to our economy" that the country has seen "since the Great Depression, so I think a little bit of additional deficit is nothing," he added. [source]
Rep. Fleming doesn't care that much about the deficit after all. Instead, he will do anything to stop implementation of the Affordable Care Act.
The thing is, it's quite clear that, even if defunding the ACA could pass both houses of Congress (it can't), it would never be signed by President Obama. He won't dismantle his historical achievement.
Speaker of the House John Boehner and other prominent Republicans recognize this. They also recognize that it will be exceedingly difficult for the House to pass something that could be signed into law, unless they do so with many Democratic votes.
But there aren't enough Democratic votes in the House for a plan with big cuts and a rollback of Obamacare. Such a plan goes against their policy views and constituents' preferences, and cutting the ACA would increase the deficit.
Hopefully legislators will recognizing reality before the next federal budget needs to pass. If not, a federal government shutdown will undermine our economic recovery. And, of course, that would again increase the federal deficit.

Killing yourself with coffee
Knowing when to say when
Here it is, 10:51 on Monday morning and I'm starting in on my fourth cup of java, hoping to find that sweet spot between drowsiness and the shakes, and then I wonder: could I actually OD on this stuff?
I don't mean jittery, can't-stop-talking, eighth-
One internet search for "will coffee kill me?" later, and I have my answer: Yes, coffee can kill you.
One internet search for "will coffee kill me?" later, and I have my answer: Yes, coffee can kill you. But not easily.
Death By Caffeine is a web app that offers precisely this information. You enter your caffeine based drink of choice–whether it's Mountain Dew, Red Bull or plain old brewed coffee–and then your weight. Push the handy little "Kill Me" button, and you'll have a surprisingly specific answer as to how much of the poison you can drink before keeling over.
In my case, it would take 94.14 cups of drip coffee to put me in the ground. Useful information, because now I know that if I've already had 94 cups of coffee and somebody says "Hey, Ty, can I get you another .15 cup?" I should answer with "No thanks, friend. I'm aware of my limits." And then quiver my way homeward to spend the rest of the day screaming obscenities at the ceiling, secure in the knowledge that, while I won't be able to close my eyes for a week, I haven't actually risked death.

All right, Shapelings, this is your own damn fault. For some reason we have not been able to stop talking about creepy-ass animals in comments all week, what with the coconut crabs and the megalodons and all. Comment threads are starting to induce nightmares and fits of madness. So let's just get it out of our collective system and use this thread to scare the pants off each other.
I recently watched Sir David Attenborough's Life of Mammals series (highly recommended), so I feel I have a bit of an advantage going into this thread. Whales themselves aren't creepy to me, but that was of course before I learned that they have 12-foot wangs that emerge from slits in their abdomens (NSFW…maybe?):
The most epistemologically creepy type of animal, IMHO, is the monotreme. Monotremes, in addition to giving us the classical example of fucked-up shit, the duck-billed platypus, are mammals that lay eggs, which is a little creepy. But that's small potatoes compared to the fact that they do not have nipples, so they just OOZE MILK FROM THEIR TORSOS.
Ahem. I realize it's not as "run for your life" scary as a crab that could bite your arm off, but it gives me the shivers. Plus they've got poisonous spurs.
So have at it: creepy animal time. Abandon all hope ye who click the comment threads.

Our slim black metal frames are sold with a plexiglass to protect the artwork.

Man leaves prison, robs same store 15 years later
Suspect caught robbing the same shoe store twice
Police say a man was released from prison after serving 15 years for robbing a store and then headed straight back to the same store and robbed it again.
NBC New York reports that Christopher Miller, 40, was arrested in 1999 after he tied up the employees and stole the cash from a Stride Rite shoe store in Toms River, N.J.
The day after Miller's recent release from prison, police say he took a bus to the same Stride Rite store and demanded cash from the employees, making off with the cash register drawer containing $389. Police say he was found a few blocks away, with the cash stashed in a gutter.
Toms River Police Chief Mitchell Little told NBC New York that he wonders whether Miller considers prison life home, which is why he committed another crime immediately after being released.
Miller is charged with robbery and is being held on $100,000 bail.
