Statistics and Scientists: Raising Awareness Through AAAS
A little over two years ago, I walked down the hall to find the February 11, 2011, issue of Science in my mailbox. I was excited to see the word "data" in an enormous font on the cover, overlaying a word cloud that also included "research," "analysis," "model," and "knowledge," highlighting the issue's special section on dealing with data. An introduction by the Science staff indicated the goal was "to provide a broad look at the issues surrounding the increasingly huge influx of research data." They spoke of the tremendous opportunities presented by the "data deluge" and reported that responders to a recent Science poll noted they "seek or would like additional help in analyzing" data.
But examination of the special section led to dismay. Mentions of statistics or statisticians were scant. It wasn't long before I heard from equally disheartened friends. And this wasn't the first time; an issue of Nature featuring Big Data a few years earlier had a similar dearth of references to statistics.
Lack of visibility is nothing new to our field; in fact, one of the themes of the ASA Strategic Plan is Increasing Visibility of the Profession. The Science issue highlighted starkly the magnitude of this challenge. Science is published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the world's largest general scientific society, with members from all walks of science (including statistics). Thus, the notable absence of statistics from the "data" issue might reflect broad lack of recognition across the spectrum of sciences and scientists.
Indeed, it might. Shortly thereafter, ASA representatives met with AAAS Executive Director Alan Leshner. He was candid, telling them his impression was that scientists view statistics not so much as a science but as a "bag of tools." He went on to remark that "you have a visibility problem in Science and AAAS."
We could simply get angry (really angry) at this mischaracterization of our field and reject the messenger. But statistics has too much to offer science, particularly in this era of massive and complex data—our unique skills in statistical modeling and design, understanding of uncertainty, and knowledge of the potential for bias and false discovery.
Which led me to one of my presidential initiatives. Elevating the visibility of our discipline across all of science is a formidable challenge. But a concrete first step could, and must, be taken. With nearly 120,000 individual and institutional members, 261 affiliated scientific societies (including the ASA), and 24 sections corresponding to fields of science—including Section U (statistics)—AAAS is a focal point for science. Increasing awareness within AAAS would be a key advance that could translate more broadly.
I asked Section U officers and ASA representatives to other sections of AAAS to form a workgroup and undertake activities to raise our profile. An immediate success was the selection of six invited session proposals sponsored by Section U in a highly competitive process across all areas of science to appear on the program of the annual AAAS meeting held in Boston in February (more in a moment).
The workgroup argued that increased participation by statisticians, commensurate to that of other scientists, would elevate the stature of statistical science within AAAS. They launched an effort to encourage students to enter the very competitive student poster competition. At the AAAS meeting, at least 10 of the winning 142 posters from all areas of science were from statistics students, an impressive first showing given the diversity of competition. In fact, students Kristin Linn of North Carolina State University and Stefa Etchegaray of Carnegie Mellon were two of only four winners of the prestigious Joshua Neimark Travel Award!
Noting that 2012 was the 50th anniversary of the founding of Section U, led by Section U secretary Jane Pendergast working with AAAS member services director Ian King, the group spearheaded an awareness campaign for JSM 2012. AAAS contributed 1,000 buttons displaying the logo shown here, which were distributed in San Diego along with fliers describing the benefits of AAAS membership. Many of you sported buttons during JSM, and we continue to distribute them at other events. The group followed with a December 2012 Amstat News article encouraging statisticians to emphasize the importance of statistics to fellow scientists through joining AAAS.
These efforts appear to have been effective. From February 2012 to February 2013, overall membership in Section U increased from 1,713 to 1,961 (14%), with members declaring it their primary section going from 365 to 435.
Initiatives continue, including exploring an ASA-AAAS joint symposium, proposing articles on statistical science for the AAAS MemberCentral website, and developing invited session proposals for future AAAS meetings. And Section U continues to nominate accomplished statisticians as AAAS Fellows in recognition of their contributions to science; 18 were honored at the February AAAS meeting, some of whom are pictured here. The increase in Section U membership brought an increase in the number of Fellow nominations the section may support this year.
So, why should you join AAAS?
The altruistic reason is to join fellow statisticians in promoting the contributions of statistics to outstanding fellow scientists. With increased numbers will come the visibility that will allow us to advocate more forcefully for sound statistical design and analysis and appreciation for the value of statisticians.
But the personal benefits are equally significant. Membership brings access to an array of AAAS resources: webinars, blogs, science news, and, of course, Science. And, as I experienced firsthand in February, the AAAS meeting.
The annual AAAS meeting is similar in size to JSM, but serves a much broader audience. All sessions (symposia) are invited, and the concurrent number is small. Symposia must be accessible to a general scientific audience, and speakers must be outstanding presenters. Numerous general interest workshops and events are held, and there are scores of special lectures by eminent researchers. Opportunities to learn about new areas of science and identify challenges in which statistical science could contribute are substantial.
I attended several Section U–sponsored symposia, all with standing-room-only crowds, and left in awe of how much I learned. "The Science of Uncertainty in Genomic Medicine" featured point-counterpoint talks by two clinicians, one citing evidence for his contention that the genomic revolution has, as yet, led to only "feeble" ability to predict disease risk and may be encouraging overreactions and unnecessary interventions, and the other describing novel clinical trials to assess whether patient anxiety is unduly raised by knowledge of genetic predisposition carrying uncertain risk (the evidence suggests not).
"Understanding and Communicating Uncertainty in Climate Change Science" presenters described superbly how statistical modeling is used to combine data with climate models and quantify risk and the challenges of communicating the uncertainty in this complex enterprise to the public and policymakers. One speaker urged replacing assertions of causality by simple probabilistic comparisons to circumvent seeming inconsistencies in climate science analogous to the apparent contradiction that smoking "causes" cancer, but a politician's two-pack-a-day grandfather could live to 97. Another encouraged climate scientists to develop relationships with decisionmakers and to not oversell science, but to translate its limitations and notions of risk and uncertainty into terms they can understand. A discussion about communicating science to policymakers with New York Times Dot Earth blogger Andrew Revkin followed.
One talk in "The Benefits of Randomized Experiments for Science and Society" session reported a study design used in political science to assess racial bias among white southerners. Subjects are randomized to two groups. One is presented a list of three innocuous events and asked, "How many of these upset you?" The other receives a list of four—the same three plus "A black family has moved in next door." Subjects are asked to report only the number (but not nature) of upsetting items, and a larger average number in the second group is assumed to reflect the true proportion of subjects upset by the racially related event. I'll leave it to my fellow statisticians to critique the design.
"A Decade After 'Forensic Science: Oxymoron?': Will There Be Real Change?" reviewed a 2009 National Research Council report that found a lack of statistical foundation for many U.S. forensic science practices and called for increased use of statistics to strengthen them. This session was held as the Department of Justice and National Institute of Standards and Technology announced formation of a National Commission on Forensic Science to address these issues.
I could write pages about the diverse scientific challenges discussed in these and other symposia and the critical role statistics has to play in all of them. The AAAS meeting offers a remarkable forum for statisticians to highlight that critical role.
I encourage you to join AAAS, choose Section U as your primary section, and become a partner in this effort to enhance awareness of our discipline. Together, we can dispel the notion of statistics as "a bag of tools."

One of the more classic sounds used in Trance and other kinds of popular music is most definitely the layered clap effect. This tutorial shows you step-by-step how to make it yourself.[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XitREkTpXQ[/youtube]
[aside title="Professional Touches!"] Making sure you include little effects like a reverse reverb build-up before a layered clap make your music more interesting to listen to![/aside] In a music genre like Trance, it is all the little things that can make your tracks stand out above the rest of the competition. Layering a snare drum with a clap, for instance, is something a lot of people do to add a little punch and character to their productions. But taking this one step further and adding a reverse reverb effect as a precursor to that snare/clap hit is some thing changes your music completely.
You start out by laying out a basic drum beat. Now pick a snare hit that you want to use for the layering. This is where you add your clap sample. So now when you play back your audio, you should have one snare hit that really stands out from the rest. It should take on a lot of the clap character. The next step is to add soem heavy reverb. The is no one particular type that works best, but you may want to start off by using a hall preset of some sort and max out the room size and dry/wet parameters. The sound should ring out well beyond what you would normally want from adding reverb.
Once you reverb is set up, it is time to bounce that region to an audio file. Once this is one audio file (rather than midi, or separate tracks) you can easily reverse the snare/clap hit with all that reverb. Now the sample needs to be trimmed and placed so that it makes a small build-up to the original snare/clap hit. The reverse reverb trick has been used for decades now to create amazing tension and build-up effects in music. To make it work for small embellishment like this one, you will need to set up some automation that controls the volume of the sample. It needs to quickly rise up from nothing, right before the snare/clap hit is delivered.
Adding a small amount of sample delay to either the right or left channel of the clap can extend the sound a bit and make the clap sound wider. You can also experiment with adding effects plugins to the reverse reverb sample. Using distortion, chorus, rotary amps, etc can all have interesting effects on your sound, and this kind of playing around with different ideas poften times leads to the perfect fit for the project. Separating out frequencies through filters is also another great way to customize the sound(s) to your needs.
Has this tutorial helped you understand how to create your own percussion hits using reverse reverb techniques? Have a request, suggestion or just want to say? We'd love to hear from you, so go ahead and send us a message now. Thanks for stopping by!

Fizz! Boom! Read! at the Adair County Public Library
Fri, 06 Jun 2014 14:48:06 GMT —
A new summer reading program is now available for your kids.
The Adair County Public Library kicked off their Fizz! Boom! Read! program this week.
Which will help keep your little ones reading even after the school doors close for summer.
Children ages 2-12 are encouraged to sign-up.
Sign-ups are accepted throughout the program, which runs until July 3rd. The goal is for each child to read at least 30 minutes a day.
Experts suggest that kids continue to read during the summer to keep their skills fresh.
â??Thirty minutes a day will keep their skills going, and thatâ??s the bare minimum,â?? said Diane Burger, childrenâ??s librarian. â??The main thing is that we do a pleasure connection, we make a bridge between reading and fun and thatâ??s what makes a life-long reader.â??
Other activities at the library include â??Everything Ologyâ?? on Tuesdays where children can participate in hands-on activities and listen to area scientists at 10:30am.
For more information, contact the library at 660-665-6038.

Giant Eyeball Found on Florida Beach [VIDEO]
If you have ever felt like you were being watched by someone or something you could not explain, you might be right. A giant eyeball recently washed ashore and was found by a man in Pompano Beach, Florida. Beats the hell out of finding some stupid shell!
MSNBC is reporting that marine biologists could not identify which sea animal the eye belonged to, but genetic testing will be done. I wonder if it belonged to a sea creature at all? Maybe there's a whole other world under the sea that we do not even know about? Could it be an alien eyeball? You know right from the center of its forehead? Maybe who or whatever this eyeball belonged to, lost a game of 'eye for an eye'? The possibilities are endless! I will keep my eye on this story for you!

Managing a Website - Uploading Files
I've a got a Debian box with Apache, PHP, FTP, and few other things all fired up and working. However I don't know the best way to go about uploading files to it conveniently.
It takes a lot of steps to upload to a home dir, then move to /var/www/, then chown, and then chmod.
I've also went the route of chroot-ing a user to var/www, but I still have to either chown and/or chmod them. Plus I want to maintain some security so I don't like having my www dir world writable.
What's the best method of uploading files to my webserver, and what is the best way to maintain basic file permision security?

A new mobile app for income over feed cost is available from Penn State's Extension Dairy Team.
The app, called DairyCents, allows you to calculate income over feed cost by simply entering a zip code, selecting a milk production level and entering a date. The display will show feed cost per hundredweight, feed cost per cow, gross milk price, milk margin per hundredweight of milk and income over feed cost per cow per day. Historic data also can be graphed for income over feed cost, feed cost and milk price starting from January 2012 on either a per cow or per hundredweight basis.
The app also allows you to compare your purchased feed price to Penn State's feed price list and to other users in the database who have purchased the same feed.

My Christmas special EA pallette has this shimmer highlighter in soft gold shimmer. Its a nice pale gold, not too sparkly or blingy but gives a lovely glow on the cheekbones. My only grip is that its a bit dry and so while applying, it settles onto other areas of the face too. You have to be very careful while applying this. Other than that, its a nice highlighter and because you need so little of it, its going to last me ages.

I bought this at full price (Christmastime!) and even though it's up for swap, I still love it. I just have too many highlighters! I was drawn to it like a cat toward sparkly objects. It comes in a pretty red compact with a red application brush with ultra soft bristles.
I've used it only a handful of times, but everytime I've felt like "a lady". It's a very luxurious powder that looks beautiful swept long bones. It doesn't glitter tackily, but smoothly highlights and glows. It's very finely jet milled.
The colour is a peachy cream that borders on an opal gold. It's a very natural shade, unlike a lot of highlighters nowadays that make people look like traffic lights. This one is based on people's real skin tones. I hope they make it part of their regular holiday selection!

This a retractable, medium-sized brush filled with a very-finely milled silver shimmer powder. Gives my skin a silver shimmer w/o looking grey. This is pretty shiny. So a little goes a long way. I wear for evening or to church. Not the greatest of brushes though. But very, very easy to blend with my makeup using a Japonesque blush brush. Adheres to skin well. I use to highlight cheek & brow bones. I found on the clearance table at Cosmetic Warehouse for $2. But I would repurchase at normal cost.***** UPDATE 4/02/07 *****Don't use this much. Prefer Zhen Element Shimmer Powder in Earth or Water. continued >>

I've been thinking.(143 Posts)
Hi I posted the other day about my dh hating the fact I'm close to my guy best friend.
If I'm honest it's all gone a bit down hill. I'm just going to write stuff down because its easier than keeping it all in my head.
He outright accused me of cheating on him. No evidence or reason to think this other than my friend texting me saying he was home from work (in the other thread I said about this, he was worried about falling asleep on the bus etc.... Very harmless jokey conversation). Anyway this hurt me more than I expected it to. It ruined Christmas for me, I couldn't look at him without feeling angry, I didn't want him near me or hugging me or anything. He sensed I was angry and said that he was leaving, he'd ruined christmas and he'd phone mil to tell her not to bother coming round. I told him not to be selfish, dd and ds were really looking forward to seeing mil. He said he didn't care and if they came round he would be going out. Then it changed to 'what do you want me to do? Leave or stay' I never said anything about going to him?! So this confused me, why was he making it all down to me?
I've been thinking about the past few years and everything all rolled into one just seems so wrong. When I went out for a night out I had a cigarette (I'd quit for 3 years because he didn't like it) I told him on my way home and he hung up, phoned back 2 mins later and said he'd taken 20 paracetamols and he wanted to die. I came home and found out that that was all a lie. I have no idea why he did this?
When I go out he bugs me about what time I'm coming home. It'll go something like this:
'Are you going to get the half 11 bus home?'
'Provably not that's quite early'
'Can you please just get that bus, I want to spend time with you before we go to bed' (baring in mind I go out on my own maybe once every two-three months)
He will phone and text throughout the whole time I am out to make sure I don't miss my bus, along with asking who's out, who I'm talking to and if any 'hot guys' have hit on me.
I will be honest and say that when he goes out I do ask what time roughly he'll be back, I never tell him a time and I don't mind what time he's back I just like to know if that makes sense? I don't phone him and just leave him to have fun.
He is a good husband and father, he is amazing with the kids, I can't fault him on that. He always tells me I'm pretty.
One thing he does do that really gets on my nerves is that he'll do something for me or buy me something, which is nice, but he'll go on and on about all the things he's bought me and done for me.
Anyway, I'm really sorry that's long but I had to write it down. I know everyone has complaints about their OH, I'm sure he has tons about me. I don't even think there's a point to my post, I just needed to get it out.
you have debt in your name run up by him ?
another red flag
he is financially abusive too
he is supportive of your Uni application because he has twigged it will make you even more dependent on him
my advice ?
defer the Uni for a year...get yourself and your kids away from him, before you have nothing of yourself left
you think I am being overdramatic ? (any lurkers think that, too ?)...well, I'm not. What your inner voice is telling you now is that this is not acceptable in a partner. Give it a few more months, you get tied up with Uni work and running yourself ragged looking after the kids as well as pandering to this inadequate fuck...you will no longer know your arse from your elbow.
I dont think he's financially abusive. He has his own money, he buys his own stuff, he just adds some things now and then to my littlewoods account because he doesn't have one. He pays for it all each month.
but if he stops paying every month ?
you have no concern about that ?
I do worry about it.
You shouldn't be worrying your husband won't pay what he owes. You should KNOW he will never let you down, otherwise what is the point of your marriage?
AF is never over dramatic. She is very very very wise and you would do well to listen to her.
and he knows it
I guarantee that you will not be alone for the rest of your life of you leave this man. Me and all of my friends split with all of our partners aged between 28 and 30. All of us are back in relationships, some within a matter of months, some a few years. A bit of time on your own will probably show you how decisive and strong you actually can be. I'm not saying that leaving a relationship is easy, it's not, especially with children. But don't fear a future alone, fear a future of intense unhappiness trapped in the wrong relationship. You have many many years ahead of you, so plenty of time to make a change and get a better life.
You can do uni without him. You will get housing benefit, tax credits and you may be able to get childcare grants or a career development loan. It is entirely doable.
You kind of need to examine your own motivation in clinging on to a man who makes you unhappy. Of course you want a stable family. But this man isn't it.
You would manage.
And, in my opinion, £1000 worth of debt you might get back is no reason to stay.
There are many ways you could manage - working, uni, access to benefits. You can do them in any order and they aren't mutually exclusive.
If you come up with three options - research them and see which works best for you. And as AF points what you do in 2013 might be different to 2014.
Dh has now started following me in twitter. It's my birthday tomorrow and I'd arranged a night out and thought I would be a good time to see if dh and best friend could get along (its stupid, on paper they'd be such good friends, same interests, both into gaming etc..) but best friend is really ill so said he probably can't make it, I told dh and he said how do you know? So I said best friend had told me via twitter (which makes me wonder if he's been going through my texts because there wasn't any about him being ill, it had been a convo over twitter) so suddenly even though he had no interest in it before he's now set up and account.
What do you think he's going to be like when you start at Uni and have Uni mates ? He could be unbearable.....
Honestly you are young, could meet some lovely educated guy at Uni who doesn't try to control your social life and your life could be amazing ! But if you stay with your h it could make the whole experience a nightmare.
Please ring women's aid, you can discuss the control thing with them and they can help you
Prettywhiteguitar is exactly right about the uni men. It really opens your eyes to be surrounded by intelligent, sociable, pleasant men...your H will really up his controlling ways a notch once he realises this.
I would bet next month's salary that he looks through your texts on a regular basis. Of course he does. And would he ever let you have access to social media without him watching over you, vetting your contact?
Everything you say about him makes me so sad, but keep posting, keep reading and your eyes will gradually open. Do you have anything nice planned for today?
I was supposed to be going out for my birthday with my friends(birthday is tomorrow) but dd has chicken pox and I don't think it's fair that mil has her when she's all spotty and grumpy, dh won't say to go without him, if I mention it he'll sulk.
Of course he doesn't want you going out with out him - you might spontaneously have sex with another man!
It is YOUR special day tomorrow - put your foot down and say I am going out with my friends, will you please look after dd. Sulking is utterly wankerish behaviour and should be ignored.
Are you the girl that married my ex?!
My biggest regret is letting him push my friends away, is make excuses not to see or speak to them as he'd kick up a fuss, feign illnesses and behave as yours does. Basically it resulted in lost youth, wasted years and losing what were amazing friendships.
My advice is hold onto your friends and family with both hands, don't fall for games and stand up to him. He's doing it to keep you but all it will do is push you away
I think the twitter thing was the last straw, it may seem minor but I don't need to be monitored, I'm certain he would have gone through mine and best friends twitter with a fine tooth comb, I'm waiting for little things to come out now, little digs and questions, even though there's nothing to have digs about, he'll find something.
^ he makes arguing very hard, he breaks down and cries and makes it very difficult for me to not feel guilty if that makes sense?^
Have you ever thought he does this BECAUSE it makes you feel guilty?
If I told him it was over he would cry and probably threaten to do something stupid to himself. Another incident of him trying to guilt-trip you.
Everything you've said about him in this thread and your previous one tells us he's a controlling bastard, and he will slowly get worse over time - slowly, because that way you will get more acclimatised to his behaviours & won't realise just how bad it has got until it's too late. I've watched this happening with friends in the past, watched them slowly being cut off from all their support network & ending up virtual non-persons who can't do anything without their "D"H's approval. And these women started out smart & sassy, just ended up that way over time .
When you dump this millstone around your neck, and get to Uni, you will absolutely kick yourself for giving this inadequate the headspace you have.
This predator targeted you when you were young and vulnerable. He doesn't 'love' you, he considers you something between a pet and an object, something that he owns and is entitled to punish and control.
You really do need to get away from him. DOn't worry about him killing himself, men like this love themselves far too much to do anything as useful as dying and getting out of your hair.
He sounds very suffocating to me.
I don't even know how to bring this up, as far as he's concerned everything is fine :/ I'm so used to just ignoring it and getting on with it.
I think you have to know in your head and heart that there is no fixing this, no making it better. Until you have accepted you need to be apart, I think any discussions you try and have will lead to you being manipulated back and him upping his tactics.
I don't think there is, we've had the same conversations over and over, it changes for maybe a month? And then goes back to before.
You don't have to stay with him. You don't owe anyone a relationship.
Of course everything is fine in his mind FrenchRuby, because you just try to get on with life while fitting in with his awful behaviour. So he gets what he wants, and you've been trained into not complaining.
Write out a list (I LOVE lists ) of all the not-good stuff - you can use your posts on here as a starting point. Use that as the basis to tell him why you aren't happy. Then expect anything from one to all of the following list; list is unlikely to be exhaustive, I'm sure others will aff to it!
He will start to cry, & tell you that you're hurting him so please stop. Don't.
He will promise to change. He won't, or at least not in the long term.
He will pick up one tiny little aspect of one or two things on your list, and justify that to death. Then he will suggest that because he's managed to justify that one tiny little thing, everything is OK. He's then managed to turn the whole fact of him being a controlling shite into you over-reacting about something tiny.
He will tell you that you're imagining most of it, and the rest is all you over-reacting. You aren't doing either.
He will blame it all on those (insert his favorite derogatory word for non-compliant women) on MN for trying to tell you that your perfectly good marriage is bad. Or he may blame it on a family member/friend if he hasn't managed to isolate you from them all.
He may lose it & start shouting at you, though I get the impression he tends to manipulate you more by PA behaviours.
Over to you other MNers, add to the list of common ways men react to finally being stood up to.

Washed Ashore Family Events At North Bend Library
You may have heard of "Washed Ashore", which has a new exhibit in Bandon's Old Town, and holds weekly workshops in Bandon's Harbortown Event center on Saturdays from 2-5pm. Washed Ashore lets people make amazing art out of the plastic items that wash up on our beaches. Volunteers collect and sort the plastic, and help run workshops that transform garbage into art. In the process, people of all ages get to learn about what our plastics do to sea life, and what we can do about it.
On Saturday, April 6th and Sunday, April 7th at 2:00 both days, Washed Ashore is holding family events in the North Bend Public Library Meeting Room at 1800 Sherman Avenue. A short presentation will be followed by hands-on time making art (sorry, no take-homes: recycled plastics are safe to use with Washed Ashore volunteers, but are not safe in the home). Washed Ashore comes back to the North Bend Public Library on Tuesday, April 9th at 6:30pm to give a presentation for adults, teens and older kids about what happens to discarded plastic in the ocean, and the work and vision of Washed Ashore. Learn more, visit www.washedashore.org.
These events are free and open to the public. For more information, call the North Bend library at 756-0400, or visit www.northbendlibrary.org.

HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard
The Question is:
Questions on how to query system information programmatically. If the OS can show it on screen, there must be a better way (DCL or system service call) than parsing the screen output. 1. Device mount count, i.e. the number in the last column from SHOW DEVICE. Is lexical F$GETDVI(device, "MOUNTCNT") supposed to do this job? It always return 1 to me. 2. Shadow copying / merging percentage complete. I don't find anything other than true or false of copying / merging.
The Answer is :
There is no documented API available for the cluster-wide mount count displayed by SHOW DEVICE, only an API for acquiring the node-specific mount count. There is also no documented API available for reporting the shadowing completion percentage.

The Community Care Waiver (CCW) is a program for individuals with developmental disabilities that pays for the services and supports they need in order to live in the community. Administered by the Division, the CCW is funded by the state, with assistance from the federal government's Medicaid program. The Community Care Waiver is a critical component of the Division's ability to provide services in the community to individuals with developmental disabilities. Without the CCW, New Jersey could only use Medicaid funding to help provide services to these individuals if they resided in an institution. The federal government allowed states to create waivers, including the CCW, as a way to help individuals with specific needs avoid institutionalization and return to or remain in the community.
In order to enroll on the CCW, individuals must be eligible for Division-funded services; must meet the specified level of care for Intermediate Care Facility for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICF/ID) and also must meet specific Medicaid requirements regarding income and resources. The Division of Developmental Disabilities works with individuals to help establish whether or not they meet these Medicaid requirements.
The draft Community Care Waiver (CCW) Policies and Procedures Manual was released April 2017 and applies to individuals enrolled in the CCW program who have been transitioned into fee-for-service. Stakeholder feedback regarding the draft policy manual can be submitted to firstname.lastname@example.com.
CCW Shift to Fee-for-Service: An Overview for Service Providers
CCW Shift to Fee-for-Service: An Overview for Support Coordination Agencies
CCW Shift to Fee-for-Service Worksheet
CCW Participant Enrollment Agreement (only for use with an individual enrolling/transitioning into fee-for-service)
The Community Care Waiver renewal has been approved by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and is effective July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2021.
The Division is currently working with CMS regarding our submission of proposed CCW amendments.

text: It must be great having an endless supply of cash to further one's personal agenda. It's not like he (and others) didn't know about Montana's heritage and long standing stream access laws. One more victory for PLWA - Is this the end of the 7th Inning ? As you may recall, James Cox Kennedy requested a rehearing of the January Montana Supreme Court decision in the Seyler Lane bridge case. This was the case which effectively settled the issue of stream access at prescriptive road bridges and reaffirmed the stream access law. On march 6th the court found no merit in the legal argument that it had retroactively overturned case law in regard to prescriptive easements and that it had overlooked other significant arguments of Kennedy. Here is the court order . The Seventh Inning Stretch The next step in the continued fight over stream access in MontanaBy George Bauer If the Bridges of Madison County saga on the Ruby River was a baseball game then we would be at the seventh inning stretch. This historic case was filed in 2004 and was finally heard after eight years of early inning maneuvering. The score was PLWA - 2, Media Mogul - 0 when Kennedy was ordered to remove his "No Trespassing" signs from Duncan Road and Lewis Lane. The ruling reinforced Montana's 2009 Bridge Access Law which says a public road right of way extends the full width of the road and over the bridge to a stream's high-water mark. That law, passed after much compromise between anglers and landowners to help gain public access to public waters, came on the third try and only after lots of hard work. Before the hearing the parties (PLWA v. Madison County) stipulated Seyler Lane was a public road right of way - it is one of the oldest roads in the state. And yet District Judge Loren Tucker ruled there is a distinction between the public's right and the county's right to access the river. Judge Tucker's ruling did not get to first base - it was thrown out by the Montana Supreme Court. The January 2014 ruling stated the roadway could to be used by the public "for all foreseeable uses, including recreation." The case was sent back to District Court with instructions to hear evidence on the width of the right-of-way. And now, like a big league manager who didn't like the call at the plate, Kennedy filed a petition for rehearing. This would have reopened the case for further arguments on the grounds the court abandoned property law principals and converted Kennedy's private property to public land. The court denied the petition and in effect said "Nonsense". The Supreme Court has never been eager to plow the same ground twice . The Supreme Court took nearly a year to reach a decision this last time so it could be 2016 before the fat lady sings at the bottom of the ninth. Later this year another District Court will hear evidence of decades of public access to the Ruby from Seyler Lane and then could take months to issue a ruling. Don't be surprised if Kennedy appeals, whatever the decision. Step up to the plate and take a swing at those who would rob the public of their access rights. Join PLWA or make and additional contribution. Let's keep on winning. ************************************************************************** Litigation like this is not cheap. And keep in mind this is a pure grass roots effort. The State of Montana has not put in one dime to defend the stream access law.

She is beautiful IMO, hottest chick in the house on the inside and out...
I also think Jordan is beautiful inside and out. Don't think she has a mean bone in her body, which means she probably will get hurt in this mean game called BB.
I only have a kitchen because it came with the house.
Whoever said dumb can't be cute? Out of all the HGs, Jordan is the one who keeps me entertained the most. I will admit I didn't think all that much of her to begin with, but after seeing how she relates to everyone how could you not pull for her?
I'm only here for the entertainment.
Jordan - no one can resist my southern charm , that's right
Yep, she's just so damn nice. And her lack of simple intelligence is oddly endearing.Originally Posted by illusions;3578267;
As I understand, she would talk to Jeff when nobody else would, because she was imagining what it would be like if that was her and how it would make her feel. I don't use this a lot, but aw. I wish more people were like her.

I'll also recommend the T-Bolt as well. Mine is the Sporter version and has no problem keeping 1/2" groups at 50 yards with the bluing, checkering and fit being typical Browning quality. The Double Helix magazine is really a very cool design that's easy to load but pricey for extra ones. The drawback to it for some is it is lightweight (Varmint Model a little heavier) and the polymer trigger guard but neither one of these things bother me. The trigger is adjustable but mine only goes down to 3.5 lbs which is fine to me as well but may not be for everyone.
I also have a 504 that is an incredible shooter as well. Great styling and a heft to it that makes it feel like a "man's" rifle. The problem with these are there were some tooling issues with the barrels in the early serial numbers so they were very hit and miss in regards to accuracy. Remington corrected this by replacing the worn tooling later in production but the reputation was already established so this is why they no longer make the 504 which is a shame. Mine was an early model but it shoots the lights out and easily groups a 1/2" or less at 50 yards. The nice thing is they are cheap now and should you get a problem child, you can put a Lilja barrel on it or even a Shilen barrel and still be within your budget and have one hell of a shooter. Actually, the Remington 547 is the 504 action with a Shilen barrel along with stock upgrades that they command a premium for. The trigger on these are easily adjustable down to a very low poundage which is also a nice benefit. As far as the serial number thing goes, I've read anywhere from 5xxx or 6xxx on is good to go but I've also seen where it doesn't matter as it's all a crap shoot. Mine is in the 3xxx range and it's a keeper for sure and has enough strong features that it's worth a gamble in my book.
I've always heard good things about CZ's and they have quite the following. For me, their styling leaves a little to be desired and I think it's the way the magazine doesn't fit flush along with the shape of the trigger guard and trigger. Savage is the same way for me in regards to the magazine. For whatever reason this doesn't appeal to me but I'm funny like that. Still can't knock their reputation for accuracy though.
Another option would be a used Kimber or one of the Browning / Winchester 52 reproductions although they will be pushing the max in what you want to spend but well worth the money. The Weatherby XXII, which is now discontinued, features the Anschutz 64 action and most seem to be pleased with it's accuracy and it's absolutely stunning in my opinion although I do wish the magazine fit flush. Of course I've always been partial to Weatherby's stock style/design so I could overlook the magazine issue on this one LOL!
You've had a lot of good recommendations thus far and any will bring you all kinds of enjoyment. Personally, I'd opt for a more expensive model at this point since you have the money and treat yourself to it. Some of the lesser expensive guns would be easier to pick up down the road as let's face it, you can't have too many rimfires and variety is the spice of life!

My father showed me a gun this weekend and asked if I could tell him anything about it. The gun belongs to a friend who had acquired it from another family member.
It's a Walther PP-style pistol in 7.65mm. The serial number is 378915P ac. The grips and the magazines bear the Walther logo but there is no logo on the gun. Frame and slide both bear the same serial number. There is a tiny proof mark on the frame and slide that is an eagle with the head facing left. Under the eagle, as if in it's talons is the capital letter "N". Internal finish seems crude with a great number of tool marks. The exterior of the gun looks like case-hardened steel.
Who made the gun and what might the approximate value be assuming very good condition? Thanks!

This is most likely a wartime Walther PP, the "ac" is the production code for Carl Walther Zella-Mehlis, Thuringia, the old factory that was lost to the Russians after the war and replaced by the current factory at Ulm, Do.
I'm curious that it doesn't have the Walther banner on the left side of the slide, but it may be late war production when many nicities were lost. If the grips and magazine have the Walther logo, they were most likely earlier production and counterstamped on the pistol's issue. If the magazine is stamped with the serial number, that adds to the worth.
The eagle-and-N is a proof mark common to guns of that period.
As for the gun resembling case-hardened steel, that's also common to Walthers of pre-war or wartime manufacture. It's caused by the blue being worn off in irregular patches by holsters. I have a pre-war PPK that looks like this.
As for worth, well, I'm no expert on that. Unfortunately, the price of PPs is at something of a low now that the German State Police are selling their PP models in favor of the new P99 series. However, a dealer who specializes in wartime Walthers might be able to give you a better idea of the actual worth - one thing in your favor is that Zella-Methis Walthers bring a bit more on the market, but late-war Walthers don't bring as much as earlier, better-made models.
Check through the Walther listings at GunsAmerica (www.gunsamerica.com) for an indication of current prices.

I need to check if last element of list is uppercaseFor example
"abc" --

That's what I tried
checkLast :: [a] -> BoolcheckLast [] = FalsecheckLast [x] = if isUpper x then True else FalsecheckLast (x:xs) = if isUpper last then True else False
How can I separate firstname and surname from a string like this:

Pietro being the firstname and
DE GIOVANNI the surname)
I used to do it with an
explode() on the spaces, but obviously it doesn't work on a person like that.
Thanks in advance.
My program is supposed to take an input in form of a string and split into to strings, one with all the lower case letters, underscores and dots. The other one with all the upper cases, the pipes and the spaces. I am not supposed to use (for function)
def split_rec (letters): uppers = "" lowers = "" if letters[0].isupper() or letters[0] == "|" or letters[0].isspace(): uppers += letters[0] + split_rec (letters[1:]) elif letters[0].islower() or letters[0] == "_" or letters[0] == ".": lowers += letters[0] + split_rec (letters[1:]) elif not letters: return lowers, uppers
Can you please tell me more about the error I'm getting?
if letters[0].isupper() or letters[0] == "|" or letters[0].isspace(): IndexError: string index out of range
I'm converting a bunch of (Progress) programs for use on linux (previously used on Windows) and I'm looking for a way to grep for program names with both uppercase and lowercase letters, such as "skip_xref.I" or "NO_dt2.i". How can I achieve this?
How do I take a string and convert it to lower or upper case in Ruby?

If you are a freelance writer or other creative professional, do you ever find that your agenda is filled with small projects? I do, and I since I am in charge of bidding on projects and choosing what I work on, I often wondered whether I would ever have the courage to bid on a big project. Writing is enjoyable for me, and I have been able to find small projects that allow me to express myself creatively while earning decent money. For some reason, though, until recently I did not have the courage to bid on any larger projects.
I have heard that one good way to approach a big project is to plan to work on it a little bit every day. That makes sense, because it is easier to find a little bit of time every day than to wait until you can spend hours and hours working without interruption. It also makes sense because a big project can seem like an intimidating task, but breaking it down into smaller pieces can make the goal of completing it much more attainable.
Here is an example of what a big writing project might look like when it is broken down into a series of mini – goals. The first mini – goal could be to create a clear statement of what it is that you are writing about and why. What question will you answer for your readers? What experience will you portray? The next mini – goal is to take that general idea and turn it into a working title. After that, a thesis statement, and then a table of contents. Once the table of contents is complete, the "skeleton" of your piece will be in place. At this point, you can set mini – goals for filling in that framework with subject matter. Once all of those goals have been met, set mini – goals for editing, formatting, publishing, and overall completion.
When you break a big project like a book down into smaller steps it can feel doable instead of daunting. Now that you have a strategy for pursuing bigger projects, what kinds of bigger projects will you pursue? I recently started a big project, and I am really enjoying it. There is something satisfying about knowing that the project will be going on for a while, and I am enjoying working through it step by step.

Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries Officially Divorced
ABC Digital
Updated at
(LOS ANGELES) — It's finally — and officially — over: On Monday night, a judgment was entered in Los Angeles to end Kim Kardashian's 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries, according to reports.
Kardashian, 32, filed for divorce in 2011 — a move that seemed to shock Humphries, 28. "I love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce," the NBA player said upon hearing the news. After that, the legal drama heated up, when he tried to seek an annulment on the grounds of fraud, claiming their relationship and lavish wedding were staged for her reality show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Monday marked the last legal hurdle for the former couple, who reached a settlement in April to avoid trial. Terms of the divorce were not revealed, though they had a prenuptial agreement.
Kim and current boyfriend, Kanye West, are expecting a daughter in July.

Shadow is the best sun protection for children
Frankfurt/Main (dpa/tmn) - Shadow and the correct clothes are the best sun protection methods for the sensitive children´s skin. Sun screen is only a small part of sun protection. That explained the Regional Chamber of Pharmacists for Hessen. A sunshade and light clothing like shirt, shorts and head will protect the skin of the children.
Parents often rub the whole body of their children with sun screen. However these greasy preparations can stress the body. The whole body of the children will be heated by the sun. If one rubs the children completely, they will have problems to sweat. In the worst case it may cause a heat accumulation, warned the chamber.
Therefore parents should use sunscreen only for naked parts of the body. Due to the thinness and permeability for a lot of substances of children´s skin in contrast to adults´s skin it is important to pay attention to use the correct product. Especially, infants under the age of two and babies should be rubbed with sunscreen consisting of physical filter substances, advise the experts. They act like a sunshade. In contrast the chemical filter substances often cause skin irritations.
It is very important that the sun screen should be spread evenly on the skin. If you use sun screen with poor quality the lotion will be white at the skin folds. That reduces the sun protection.

Some quick takes on the stories in the paper:
Rev. Wright–the guy is sounding like a fringe college professor. If Obama is shrewed, enough, he'll totally 'divorce' himself from the man.
Haylee (sp?) Cyrus-why didn't the parents stay for the whole shoot? What were her grandmother and teacher thinking in allowing the picture to be taken?
Alexandra Dupree–Suing the GGW guy…heh. Sounds like she's trying to extending her 15+ minutes of fame a bit longer. *Yawn*
Coming up in the news is supposed to be Al Sharpton's plan to "Shut Down NYC". This'll be good.
There seems some sort of issue with the server this evening.
Finally, Time-Warner's monopoly on the Manhattan cable market appears to be subject to competition–via Verizon FiOS
Cheers for the Free Market!
The Brother (a misguided Yankees Fan), is at Progressive Field, watching the Indians-Yankees game.
Of course, I've got ESPN on. My Indians cups as well.
He called during the fifth inning, when there were runners on first and second. All of the sudden there was a big cheer in the background (on his end).
Then about 10-15 seconds later, I saw the Indians get a hit to load the bases. Is there that much of a delay in live broadcasts?
Ugh….stuck here at home with congestion and seasonal allergy issues.
I've already consumed the Chicken Soup from mom, and Claritin, but it's not doing what it's supposed to (the latter that is).
I'm thinking maybe a strong cup of tea would help? Any suggestions of a type of tea?
And I can't wait to eat Chametz again
Because the judicial system didn't give him the verdict he wanted, Al Sharpton is threatening to "Shut down NYC"
First off, there's no way he'll shut down the City. The MTA strike didn't even accomplish that.
Second, the legal system has run its course. If he wants to protest or complain about anything, he should take it up with the Queens DA for the poor case he made.
Third–why does the media keep covering this man's bellicose rhetoric?
It's a busy day for a Cleveland sports fan, even here in NYC.
Simultaneously, we have the Indians-Yankees game and the Cavs-Wizards game.
What to watch first?
/Yankees Suck
//The misguided Brother is at the Tribe game
Televised sports most annoying announcer, Joe Buck, is an idiot.
While watching today's Indians-Yankees game on Fox, during the bottom of the 6th, when Gutierrez's bunt went off his leg, Buck exclaimed "This is why baseball needs instant replay".
Baseball has been without instant replay for over 100 years now, and it's doing just fine. What the game needs is less idiotic announcers like Buck.
/Go Tribe
//Yankees Suck!
Yesterday morning the city was abuzz with the verdict that the Judge handed down in the Sean Bell shooting case: not guilty.
My take on the case is that the prosecution did a really poor job in presenting its case.
The defense was very smart to waive their right to a Jury and have the judge rule on the case. A jury from Queens would've most likely hung the cops out to dry. The Judge on the other hand, would more likely hold the case to the standard of "beyond reasonable doubt".
Second, the prosecution was flawed in the credibility of its witnesses, the different stories that were told and by letting the Defendants grand jury testimony be read into evidence. The testimony allowed the officers to say their side of the case without cross-examination.
With all this being said, the NYPD should take some sort of disciplinary action against these officers. Specifically Oliver and Insora deserve harsher disciplinary action. A prediction is that they won't be allowed street duty for a while (for their own safety). The other defendant, Cooper, at a bare minimum, needs to spend a lot more time at the Range (in addition to other punishment).
The fools in Albany have now decided that NY residents have to pay sales tax on their online purchases.

The raid the Israeli Airforce conducted back in September, appears to have taken out a Syrian nuclear facility:
North Koreans Taped at Syrian Reactor
Will the name Al-Kibar now be synonomous with Osirak (the Iraqi reactor also destroyed by the IAF).
Today was just off the wall and out of control at work. At least the early part of the day was. It got a little easier as time went on, but we still encountered some "bumps" along the way.
That's why it's hump day I suppose.
On the more positive side: finished NROL break-in today! Had a good set of deadlifts (185×15, 185×15). Deadlifts are such a great way to start the day. Now my next decision is how to proceed–with Hypertrophy I or Fat Loss I.
Tomorrow is "bring your child to work day". Gotta make sure to back the bottle of ibuprofen tomorrow.
In our family, the tradition was that us children (when we were younger that is), would hide the Afikoman during the early part of the Seder. Then when it was time for the Afikoman, we'd "ransom" it back to Grandpa.
Now it looks like the afikoman may have been a more valuble commodity this year–with the reports of a Matzo shortage!
If Matzo sales go down…predict a drop in the sales of prunes as well. (For those of you unaware, excess matzo consumption leads to some GI difficulties).
First off, I need to take a class in knife skills. (Suggestions anyone?)
Second, the quinoa may have cooked a little too long. It's still tender and has the right consistency, but it did stick to the pot. Granted, I did omit the salt from the recipe if that would have made a significant difference? (Don't have passover salt on hand, nor do I have cilantro.)
Third–with the limited resources I have in terms of cookware, I think overall the dish came out very well. Not as good as the first time, but considering the handicaps, I'm giving myself a good mark. This isn't to say that there is not room for improvement. Practice makes perfect.
Made it back to NYC this morning.
Of course we were delayed landing at LaGuardia (when isn't one?)
Came home, dropped my bags off, and went straight to work, to find out that I'd missed quite a bit!
After all that, had to hit the grocery store, as my shelves and fridge are pretty bare this time of year. (Plus I really don't care for Matzo)
Now it's time to go cook me some Quinoa!
Spiced carrot and zucchini quinoa to be exact
Headed back to Cleveland/Youngstown tomorrow for Passover. Returning to NYC on Tuesday…
How will I survive this trip?
As the State of Israel is about to celebrate her 60th birthday, it is important, as always, to look back on the young state's (modern) history.
Even in its young age, the narrative of the State's history is still a subject of debate, with the "new historians" trying to rewrite the facts of the State's history.
In the halls of academia, the war for Israel's history is still ongoing as pointed out by Efraim Karsh.
Karsh also debunks the new historians much more throughly in his book: Fabricating Israeli History: The 'New Historians'

Medicaid Spend-Down
Because Medicaid is a health insurance program for the poor, one must have income and assets below a certain limit to be eligible. For a single elderly or disabled person in New York State in 2017, these limits are $825/mo. of income and $14,850 in total assets. (The income limits for people Disabled, Age 65+, or Blind ("DAB"), people age 18-21 and their parents, grandparents or other "caretaker relatives" living with them are in BOX 3 on the HRA Medicaid Chart ). Because of the high cost of living, especially medical expenses, many people find that although they are barely scraping by, they are "too rich" to get Medicaid. Fortunately, there is sometimes a way of getting Medicaid even if your income and/or assets are over the limit: spend-down.
The spend-down program (also called excess or surplus income) is a way for certain categories of applicants to get Medicaid even though their income or assets are over the limit, by offsetting their excess with medical expenses. For example, imagine two potential Medicaid applicants (who we will assume both are in the DAB category and both have assets below the limit).
Note that the spend-down program is not available to all New York Medicaid applicants.
Those who are aged 21-64 who are neither disabled nor have children under age 21 in the household (aka Single/Childless Couples or S/CC) are not eligible to use spend-down. If their income is over the Medicaid limit, they should consider Family Health Plus, which has higher income limits. Family Health Plus does not allow spend-down, and also is never retroactive. It is only effective in the month after the application is accepted. So.. if you need medical bills to be paid or reimbursed, if they were incurred in the 3 months before you applied, or while the application is pending, Medicaid is the only option.
See this special alert re Managed Long Term Care and Spend-Down.
Selfhelp has published some training materials on how Medicaid budgeting works and the spend-down program, which you can download below:
In November, 2010, the new NYS Department of Health responded to advocacy concerns about lack of clear information about the spenddown program. See this article. The new information includes:

Brora 40 Year Old
"A rare survivor from a closed distillery"
Dawn breaks. A first pale coppery shard of light strikes the battered old wood doors of the silent Brora distillery, a place which has not heard the tread of men's feet for many years.
The light catches a dull, fiery glint, reflected back from the darkness within. Could it be a last piece of copper from the old distillery apparatus? Or could it be that Brora has a guardian still, perhaps a last, lone Scottish wildcat sheltering here from the ravages of winter?
Today, darkness haunts the old Brora buildings. Nature is gradually reclaiming them. The building once vibrant with dedicated craftsmen, fell silent when it closed its doors in 1983. It's easy to believe you are more likely here to encounter a wildcat, than a man.
Yet you can still sense the glory that distilling brought to this grey broken stone, still glimpse the gleam of a copper pipe, the dull iron hoop from an old cask. And it's not hard to imagine the joy when news of its acclaim reached the remote distillery constructed for a future Duke of Sutherland on the edge of Europe's last wilderness.
As one of Scotland's first purpose built distilleries, it was founded in 1819 as the Clynelish Distillery in the town of Brora, Sutherlandshire. The distillery enjoyed increasing success throughout the 19th and 20th century and the whisky made there was so much in demand that in 1967 a new distillery was built on an adjacent site, allowing the original to concentrate on a highly peated, smoky style all of its own.
So it was that the old Brora distillery on the stormy sea coast began to produce some astounding Scotch whiskies, now acclaimed the world over. It took a while, of course, for them to mature and for their true brilliance to be recognised.
By the time it was, Brora had sadly fallen silent amid a wave of closures that affected the whisky industry.
So what was it that made the fabled class of '72 so special? It was in this year that Brora produced the most brilliant of its highly peated bottlings for which the distillery is now known.
In the ten years that followed until the distillery was closed amid very difficult market circumstances, Brora continued to enjoy what was its final lease of life. Expressions distilled in 1972 and aged for more than 20 years finally took the whisky world by storm when released as rare malts in 1995. Today, if they can be found at all, those early releases are almost beyond price.
There has never, until the present bottling, been a 40 year old. And nothing has been released from the fabled 1972 vintage for over ten years. This proud 40 year old, then, is surely the most special Brora of all? Given its fame, stocks of 1972 Brora were quickly depleted. But not quite exhausted. Now, holding the striking contemporary copper clad decanter that cradles this, the oldest Brora ever released, it is possible for a fortunate few to hold history in their hands once more.
Taken at natural cask strength from a single cask distilled a generation ago, the fine pale gold malt in this exquisite crystal decanter is a proud and rare survivor of another age. The decanter bears the golden emblem of the Scottish Wildcat, a now endangered species, which featured on the family crest of the distiller's founder, the Duke of Sutherland. The unique crystal stopper is etched with the number '40' and the decanter has an engraved copper neck detailing the 1972 vintage distillation year. The decanter is presented in a beautiful wooden case, an interpretation of the closed Brora distillery, skilfully handcrafted by the Queen's cabinet makers at N.E.J Stevenson Ltd.
