As Afro-Cuban rhythms pulse on the sound system, the couples intertwine on the dance floor, swaying gently to the music.
"With feeling!" implores choreographer Frank Chaves.
"Make sure you're really touching bodies here … make as much effort as possible!"
Considering the sensuousness of the music, by Chicago jazz trumpeter Orbert Davis, and the sinuousness of Chaves' choreography, the couples really aren't having trouble making physical contact. But Chaves is asking for something more: heat and ardor, sensuality and sweat of a sort you can encounter in only one place on earth: Havana.
Chaves knows precisely what he wants because a few months ago he journeyed to Cuba with Davis in search of many things: art, inspiration, personal history. He had left the country with his family in 1960, when he was 6 months old, and long had yearned to return to his birthplace.
Davis never had been to the island nation, but he, too, dreamed of traveling there, to explore the roots of jazz and, perhaps, unlock some ancient family history as well.
In October, the two artists made their long-awaited trip to Havana, joined by a small entourage from Chaves' River North Dance Chicago and Davis' Chicago Jazz Philharmonic. The odyssey produced "Havana Blue," a multimovement piece the dancers are rehearsing on this spring afternoon at the Ruth Page Center for the Arts on North Dearborn Street.
The work will have its world premiere Saturday at the Auditorium Theatre, with Davis' CJP accompanying the River North dancers.
Creating the suite apparently transformed two of Chicago's leading artists.
"It was a pretty life-changing experience for me," says Chaves, after the rehearsal.
Adds Davis, sitting alongside Chaves, the venture revealed "the seed of Afro-Cuban music," while unearthing for him his ancestors' roots in Africa.
The two men traveled to Cuba mainly to find source material for their work, which was commissioned by the companies they head and by the Auditorium Theatre. But their discoveries, they say, become the basis not only for "Havana Blue" but also for a deeper understanding of their own lives and art.
Though born in Cuba, Chaves not surprisingly has no recollection of his infancy there.
"My memories were created by everything I heard (later) from my family and uncles and aunts and cousins," he says. "The Cuba I knew was: They would go to the Biltmore (Yacht and Country Club) and play tennis and then brunch and go to the Copa and have cocktails in the afternoon and have dinner and dance all night. That was the Cuba I had in my head.
"There's nothing like getting there and seeing the real thing … everything in such a state of disrepair. People seemed to be living on balconies. It's hot, all the clothing is out there (drying on clotheslines). It was amazing to me to see everything … totally falling apart. But everything on the inside — the culture, the arts — was so rich."
That included performances by seven dance companies that Chaves and friends attended, and the opportunity to meet the legendary nonagenarian Cuban choreographer Alicia Alonso, who subsequently invited him to watch her work.
"I was truly star-struck," recalls Chaves — an understandable reaction considering Alonso's stature in Cuba and in dance. She was a principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre in New York in the 1940s and later in the decade returned to Havana to form what would become the Ballet Nacional de Cuba — all despite severe visual impairment, surgeries and periods of immobility.
"She's in the studio with 15 opera singers and 15 dancers, and she's choreographing a brand new piece — an opera by Handel!" says Chaves, recounting their October meeting.
"I have these opera singers this close to me, belting this out. I walk in the room (and) people clear a path for me to sit next to her. She whispers to me: 'It's still not in great shape yet,'" adds Chaves, referring to the choreographer who's now virtually blind. "She has a married couple (working with her): The woman tells her what's happening; the guy is out there implementing. It was surreal."
But also inspiring, considering the hardships Alonso faces, as well as the one Chaves endures.
"I suffer a great deal — I have degenerative spinal cord disease," says Chaves. Its effects are seen in a slight limp as he works with his River North dancers.
The time he spent with Alonso and otherwise soaking up Cuban culture, however, transcended such issues.
"It was just beyond inspiring and enriching," Chaves says. "I had this moment of, 'Oh my God, I get it. I belong here (in Cuba). It's calling me.' It felt like home. I didn't expect that. I didn't think it was going to be as enriching. The arts, the richness of the culture … really kind of sent me over the top, over the edge. It just filled me up."
Davis, too, was profoundly affected by the experience, in part because he has been searching for his ancestry — musically and otherwise — for so long. Many years ago, he says, he embarked on what he calls "a trek of understanding the African roots of jazz." In 1996 he traveled to Brazil and discovered "how slavery in South America was so different from North America, and how it affected the music and the growth of the music."
The trip to Cuba represented an extension of that mission, a "quest of musical self-discovery" in an island nation that, like the United States, was linked to Africa via the slave trade.
In Cuba, Davis spent days and nights improvising with Cuban musicians — in restaurants, hotel lounges, on the streets and alleyways of a city that never really pipes down. He played "literally everywhere except for in the cab," says Davis, with a laugh.
When he began spending time with the octogenarian Cuban musician Orlando Lopez Alonso, who tapped out complex rhythms on a hollowed-out log with a stick, Davis says he achieved a kind of breakthrough.
"Orlando took us on a 5-mile walk through old Havana," recalls Davis. "During lunch, I asked him important questions about his African ancestry. … He took us back (in conversation) to the very village in Africa where his grandfather lived.
"I said: 'As an African-American, I don't know who I am. I can trace my grandfather — I know that his family was from North Carolina. That's it.'
"And he said: 'You are from Nigeria.'
"'How do you know?'" asked Davis.
"He said: 'The way you play.'
"I said, 'But I was (musically) trained.'
"And he said: 'No, you are playing what's in your blood.'"
For the first time, says Davis, he gathered a sense of where his ancestors came from.
Having thus immersed themselves in Cuban culture, Chaves, Davis and colleagues returned to Chicago and began work on "Havana Blue."
Chaves encouraged his River North dancers to improvise movements based, in part, on what he had learned.
"The take-away for me, which I did expect," he says, "was how rooted (Cuban dance) was in African dance, and how much that played a part in the development of Cuban dance. So I came home with the idea of not wanting to re-create, but to be inspired."
Davis began composing music in a different way. Instead of staring at a blank page of score paper, he began drafting musical portraits of specific people and places he had experienced.
"We didn't want to necessarily come back with an expose on Cuban music and create Cuban music," says Davis.
"Or Cuban dance," adds Chaves.
"It's about how Cuba inspired us," says Davis. "It's the feeling of Cuba. I think even in Cuba itself, especially with the young musicians, there's a sense of moving forward."
So Chaves and Davis sought to create a work that shows American artists drawing from Cuban sources but not mimicking them. "Havana Blue" unfolds in six movements, with two musical interludes. The first several sections evoke the people, flavor and geography of Cuba; the finale bids a kind of farewell to the nation, just as Chaves' family and so many others once did, while celebrating the enduring global influence of Cuban culture.
Whether all of this coheres on stage won't be known until Saturday, but certainly the rehearsal shows great promise. The dancers move with the grace and nobility one associates with folkloric Cuba, but these gestures are embedded in a broader, contemporary dance perspective.
Davis' music, too, bristles with Cuban rhythmic accents and turns of phrase, but also with a 21st century American jazz sensibility. All of which, though, raises an unavoidable question: Will audiences care half as much about Cuban culture as Chaves and Davis do? And should they?
"Cuba is so close to the United States, and it has been a forbidden land for all our childhoods," says Auditorium Theatre executive director Brett Batterson, who brought Chaves and Davis together for the Cuban experiment. "We heard the stories about the great casinos and the great musicians. We've seen the dance, the ballet.
"So I think there's a fascination with what's so close and so far away. … The whole influence of American organized crime in the '50s, and how that was just ended in one night. They made movies about it. And Castro came to power, and none of us could go there anymore," due to the U.S. embargo (though many have visited on academic, cultural and journalistic missions). "I think Cuba's history is tied to America in so many ways.
"I think that soon, in our lifetimes, the relationships (between the two countries) will become normal again," adds Batterson. "And the more we understand, the easier that transition will be."
In the meantime, "Havana Blue" will try to bridge the gap, offering two cultures speaking to one another in motion and music.

Defining Representation
|The Representation Standard | Connections | Structure | Additional Points | Summary | Your Journal
In Part C, we looked at several types of representations. As you think about the Representations Standard, it is important to realize that representations are valuable tools in mathematical problem solving and in communicating about mathematical ideas. Students might choose from visual representations, such as pictures, models, or diagrams, to show their approach to solving a problem or to help clarify their understanding of a mathematical concept. They might also use tables, graphs, or variables to help organize the information they gather as they solve a problem. The choice of an appropriate representation is not always obvious as students first approach a problem. It is only by "messing around" with the information and mathematics that they will find an effective way of showing their ideas and using them to reach a solution to a problem.

WP_DEBUG is a PHP constant (a permanent global variable) that can be used to trigger the "debug" mode throughout WordPress. It is assumed to be false by default and is usually set to true in the wp-config.php file on development copies of WordPress.
For information on other debugging tools built into WordPress see Debugging in WordPress
Enable debugging.
define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
Disable debugging
define( 'WP_DEBUG', false );
includeonlydiv style=clear:both; background-color:#ffffff; border:1px solid #c6d9e9; color:#000000; padding:7px; margin:0.5em auto 0.5em auto; vertical-align:middle;NOTE: The true and false values in the example are not set in apostrophes (') because they are boolean values. If you set WP_DEBUG to 'false' that will be interpreted as true because it is a string rather than a boolean./div/includeonlynoinclude

WP_DEBUG_LOG and WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY
WP_DEBUG_LOG and WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY are additional PHP constants that extend WP_DEBUG, and may also be used to debug WordPress.
WP_DEBUG_LOG is a companion to WP_DEBUG that causes all errors to also be saved to a debug.log log file inside the /wp-content/ directory. This is useful if you want to review all notices later or need to view notices generated off-screen (e.g. during an AJAX request or wp-cron run).
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY is another companion to WP_DEBUG that controls whether debug messages are shown inside the HTML of pages or not. The default is 'true' which shows errors and warnings as they are generated. Setting this to false will hide all errors. This should be used in conjunction with WP_DEBUG_LOG so that errors can be reviewed later.
define( 'WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false );
The WP_DEBUG option was added in WordPress Version 2.3.1.
Starting with WordPress version 2.3.2, database errors are printed only if WP_DEBUG is set to true. In earlier versions, database errors were always printed. (Database errors are handled by the wpdb class and are not affected by PHP's error settings.)
Starting with WordPress version 2.5, setting WP_DEBUG to true also raises the error reporting level to E_ALL and activates warnings when deprecated functions or files are used; otherwise, WordPress sets the error reporting level to E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE ^ E_USER_NOTICE.

Quote from Reasons Why You Should Consider Choosing a Twin Trundle Bed :
You should know that there is one great option of bed to choose over other types known as the twin trundle bed. Clearly there are things of this bed that bring it into a great choice when compared to others. Just in case that you have no idea at all regarding this bed, you should try to get everything about it at first before using it though. There are proper ways to use it along with several advantages of using it.
This particular type of bed is said to be the perfect choice if you have a small sized bedroom. Otherwise it is also a great choice for a guest room if you often have someone else on a sleepover in your house. The best thing about this is that you do not need to worry about the use of floor space while having a chance to add more sleeping spaces. You can even have a pair of beds in one location by placing a smaller bed underneath the main bed in this type. Clearly you can maximize even the smallest bedroom ever by using this particular type of bed.
Regarding the advantages that you can get by utilizing this bed type, one of them is actually related to the money and space saving. How so? In term of its space saving matter, you have already known that it can be placed in a vertical way so that it will not use a lot of space. Meanwhile in term of the money, you can save a bit of your money since it can function as two beds while you will not need to pay for two beds. It will cost slightly cheaper than two beds for real.
Moreover you can actually use mattresses in different heights in this type of bed. This will definitely give a benefit of being able to match the need of the one who will sleep there. Otherwise you can also look for the one in a popup and unfurl design of it which will be great in its space need when using it. Aside from those mentioned matters, this particular bed is also somewhat attractive due to its compactness of size. Moreover it can also be unique if you are able to find the perfect piece for your small sized bedroom. Now you know the things about twin trundle bed that make it a great choice over others.

- How do I compile a Java program with gcj?
- See the Compile with gcj HOWTO.
- When compiling, the compiler doesn't seem to find the correct definitions for a specific Windows version or a specific Internet Explorer version. Why is that?
- You need to set defines _WIN32_WINDOWS, _WIN32_WINNT, WINVER and/or _WIN32_IE to the minimum platform you plan to support before including the windows.h header file. Possible values for these definitions can be found in the header w32api.h file.
- My executables large and bloated after compilation. How can I avoid this?
- The executables large page will teach you how to strip a binary and how to avoid large executables.
- My executable is sometimes different, when I compile and recompile the same source. Is this normal?
- Yes, by default, and by design, ~MinGW's GCC does not produce ConsistentOutput, unless you patch it.
- Why do I get error messages when building a simple program using MinGW?
- You might have partially installed MinGW: please read error messages.
- Why does gcc give InternalCompilerErrors messages?
- These might be InternalCompilerErrors that aren't consistently reproducible due to hardware problems.
- Why might compiling become MysteriousDeadlock?
- Take a look at reports of MysteriousDeadlock.
- Why do I get "undefined references" errors from the linker?
- To avoid undefined references you must specific libraries in the right order on your command line.
- How do I specify the libraries to be searched by the linker?
- MinGW supports libraries named according to the `<name>.lib' and `<name>.dll' conventions, in addition to the normal `lib<name>.a' convention common on *nix systems. To include any libraries named according to any of these conventions, simply add the `-l<name>' switch to the compiler command, ensuring it is placed _after_ the name of the module in which the reference appears.
- Note that, if the library is not found in any of the default library search paths, you may also need to insert a `-L<dir>' switch _before_ the `-l<name>' switch, to specify its location.
- Also note that the library names `lib<name>.a' and `lib<name>.lib' _are not_ equivalent; if you have a library named according to the aberrant `lib<name>.lib' convention, it will not be found by specifying the `-l<name>' switch -- you must use the form `-llib<name>' instead.
- Why don't wide characters work with libstdc++?
- The wide-character parts of the GCC Standard C++ Library (libstdc++) have not yet been fully ported to Windows. Alternatives and discussion on this can be found here.
- How do I correctly use [threads] in MinGW?
- You should use _beginthreadex instead of ~CreateThread for the reason cited on the threads page.
- Why can't I MixObjects from different CompilerBrands or MixObjects from different compiler versions of the same compiler brands?
- This issue is not specific to MinGW: many compilers are mutually incompatible.
- How do I remove DOS command windows?
- In the link step add a "-mwindows" switch to the command line.
- Why does _make_ often crash creating a sh.exe.stackdump file when I try to compile my source code?
- If you experience random crashes with _make_ as well as with the _msysinfo_ command (_i.e._, repeating the command often allows to compile the source code succesfully), the issue might be caused by the Logitech QuickCam software. Here is provided a solution to this issue:
- type the command _services.msc_ from a command prompt (you will need administrator privileges to do this), then find the "Logitech Process Monitor" service, and change the "Startup type" from "Auto" to "Manual". Do the same with the "LVSrvLauncher" service.
- type the command _regedit_ from the command prompt (you will need administrator privileges to do this), then find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Among the other REG_SZ keys, there should be three of them related to the Logitech QuickCam, namely: "LogitechCommunicationsManager", "LogitechQuickCamRibbon", "LVCOMSX". Make a backup of the registry, then remove them.
- reboot your PC
- In this way the Logitech QuickCam deamon won't be available anymore. Nonetheless, the camera will keep working just ok with 3rd party software (_e.g._, Skype). If you want a less drastic solution, just kill the lvprcsrv.exe process whenever you want to use MSYS by typing at the command prompt:
- If you experience random crashes with _make_ as well as with the _msysinfo_ command (_i.e._, repeating the command often allows to compile the source code succesfully), the issue might be caused by the Logitech QuickCam software. Here is provided a solution to this issue:
_pskill -t lvprcsrv.exe_ (you will need [[PsTools]] and administrator privileges to do this). However, as soon as you will plug in the USB cable of your Logitech QuickCam, the deamon will be restarted, while with the first procedure it won't.

Compiling Packages
- How do I build a source package I just downloaded?
- The PackageGuide contains a link of packages along with the description of the package and a tutorial for compiling it.
- I didn't modify any configure.in or makefile.in, but the build process still tries to regenerate these files. What should I do?
- You can install automake and autoconf (by installing the msysDTK package for example), or tell make not to regenerate these files by using this hack-make-timestamps.

- Where do I find a memory leak detector?
- Wu Yongwei's memory leak detector can be found here : http://wyw.dcweb.cn/leakage.htm
- I've built an Open Source package, containing documentation in manpage format; how do I read it?
- Manpages are a documentation format prevalent on UNIX systems, where a special program called "man" is normally used to read them.
- There is currently no "man" program available for MinGW/MSYS, although one is under development; (you may http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/man-1.6-mingw-beta-1-src.tar.gz?download a DevelopmentSnapshot, if you are prepared to compile it yourself; see the http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=403917&group_id=2435 for further information). In the meantime, you can use the "groff" program, available in http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/groff-1.19.2-mingwPORT-1.tar.bz2?download, to read manpages. This program is actually used by the "man" program itself, running a command similar to:--
groff -Tascii -pet -mandoc -P-c <manpage-file> | less -irs
To make it more convenient to view manpages, Wu Yongwei has provided these [[scripts|ManScript]], which implement a rudimentary version of a "man" program, for use with MSYS, or in a cmd.exe window. Note that you will still need to have "groff" installed, when the full "man" package becomes available, if you wish to use "man" for reading documentation in the manpage format.
- How is MinGW licensed?
- When Colin Peters released the MinGW runtime he placed the source into the PublicDomain. No one owns a copyright (C) to the source because of this. You as a software manufacturer are free to use the MinGW runtime in your proprietary and OpenSource software as you see fit. The only thing you can't do is to claim ownership of the source and use Colin Peters' name, the MinGW name or the name of any of it's contributors in endorsement of any product.
- Please view MinGWLicensing for full details.
- How is MSYS licensed?
- From MSYS_LICENSE.rtf:
You may redistribute MSYS in part or in whole as long as you follow the guidelines of redistribution of each license contained within. To be certain that you are being legally compliant, always distribute the source. Distribution of source is your responsibility should you decide to redistribute MSYS. If you distribute MSYS via a web site then you must put a copy of the source for that version of MSYS on your web site as well. If you distribute MSYS via removable media then you must distribute that version of MSYS source with that same type of removable media. Binaries created from the use of MSYS and of MinGW are not bound by any license found within this package unless you use a library that is itself covered by the GPL license. If you wish to create proprietary software then don't use libiberty.a or any other GPL licensed library. A library licensed with LGPL (Lesser GPL) may be used by proprietary software without GPL infection as special permission within the LGPL has given you this right.
So essentially unless you end up explicitly linking against msys-1.0.dll, programs built in MSYS shell using MSYS tools are not infected with GPL. Compiling and linking inside MSYS shell or using MSYS tools alone does not automatically link against the dll.
- Please view MSYS_LICENSE.rtf for full license text.
MinGW related
- What Languages Are Supported?
- As of summer 2005, MinGW supports C, C++, ObjC, Fortran 77, Ada and Java. And last, but not least Pascal is available as a contributed package (GPC).
- How do I use MinGW with Cygwin?
- For those who would like to use the Cygwin environment for development, yet generate non-Cygwin-dependant executables, a much easier option to "-mno-cygwin" does exist. Simply install Cygwin and the MinGW distribution in separate directories (i.e. "C:\CYGWIN" and "C:\MINGW"), and make sure that the "/bin" subdirectory beneath your MinGW installation comes before Cygwin's "/bin" subdirectory in your PATH environment variable (i.e. "PATH=%PATH%;C:\MINGW\BIN;C:\CYGWIN\BIN"). This will allow you access to all the UNIX tools you want, while ensuring that the instance of GCC used is the MinGW version. %%%
- Bear in mind that within the "/etc/profile" file, Cygwin by default places "/usr/local/bin", "/usr/bin", and "/bin" ahead of your system-level PATH. Therefore, it is not enough to have the MinGW's "/bin" ahead of Cygwin in your Windows path... it must also be set to come first within the Cygwin environment (either by modifying "/etc/profile" or setting it manually).
- Is support provided for COM?
- MinGW has some support for COM programs. Programmers have had much better luck writing COM applications in C than C++. Work is in progress to improve support. Check the MinGW mailing list archives for more details on COM and more links to example files.
- What's the difference between gcc and mingw32-gcc?
- The mingw32-gcc, mingw32-g++, etc. binaries exist as an aid to cross development. They are created in a typical build of gcc. They are therefore distributed as the maintainers of GCC meant them to be. The gcc.exe indicates that the binary produces binaries for a target equal to the build, while the mingw32-gcc binary produces binaries to be executed on the mingw32 target.
- What's the difference between make and mingw32-make?
- The "native" (i.e.: MSVCRT dependent) port of make is lacking in some functionality and has modified functionality due to the lack of POSIX on Win32. There also exists a version of make in the MSYS distribution that is dependent on the MSYS runtime. This port operates more as make was intended to operate and gives less headaches during execution. Based on this, the MinGW developers/maintainers/packagers decided it would be best to rename the native version so that both the "native" version and the MSYS version could be present at the same time without file name collision.
- How can an MSVC program call a MinGW DLL, and vice versa?
- There exists two methods, both described in MSVC-MinGW-DLL.
- How can a JNI DLL be created?
- A tutorial to create a Java Native Interface DLL can be found here: JNI-MinGW-DLL
MSYS related
- My programs don't print output; how do I fix this?
- This is a long standing issue. Page programs not print in MSYS holds information on bypassing this problem.
- How do I pass switches with forward slashes to programs under MSYS?
- Please view page [switches with forward slashes]
- How do I enter the MsysBuildEnvironment?
- Follow the instructions on MsysShell page
- How do I build an MSYS binary?
- You must be under a MSYS shell and tools environment to compile. Please refer to MSYS dependent for more information.
- How do I compile MSYS?
- Pages MSYS, Build MSYS and MsysFromScratch will get you started.
- Why will the MSYS shell not open on Windows XP Professional x64?
- Follow the instructions on MsysShell page
- How do I create Python extensions?
- As of Python 2.5, the official distribution is built with MS-VC 2003. Python requires that all extensions be built with the same compiler. It is however possible to build such extensions using MinGW with the help of MSYS. Create a file called pydistutils.cfg in your home directory with the following contents.
[build] compiler=mingw32
- Next, use pexports to export the python dll symbols. The library can typically be found under C:\WINDOWS\system32. Use the following command.
pexports /c/WINDOWS/system32/python25.dll >py25.def
- Then, use the following command to build an import library.
dlltool -D python25.dll -d python25.def -l libpython25.a
- Move libpython25.a to /mingw/lib. You may need to add -I"/path/to/python/include" to the gcc command line. You can now build and install the extensions by following standard UNIX instructions under MSYS.
- How do I execute configure scripts?
- Applications using a UNIX-style build process will typically require a shell environment and set of POSIX tools, for executing configure scripts and building the application. The Cygwin environment was once the only choice available to fill this role, although now the MSYS environment offers MinGW developers a more lightweight alternative. The use of both these environments with MinGW is described in MsysShell and MinGWShell. [FIXME] - This is confusing and doesn't describe the question. __EarnieBoyd__ __2006-04-19__
- What is a Makefile and how do I create one?
- A Makefile can be thought of as a script that is processed by a "make" program. It allows large projects with many source files to compile in an automated way, as opposed to needing to compile each file by manually calling the compiler. It also allows for depedency checking, recompiling only modified files by checking timestamps.
- How do I get pkg-config installed?
- The difficulty in getting pkg-config installed is due its circular depency on glib. To install pkg-config, you should first install the GTK-runtime, the installer is found at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121075.

Multilevel Data/Complex Sample

Dear sir,
I have a dataset with a group level variable (one value for every group) and several individual level variables.
The intra class correlation for most of the individual level variables are not that high (0.04). Is there any hope for building a fitting multilevel SEM model with this data?

The only way to know is to try. You may run into problems because of little between variation. But it depends on how many clusters you have, how many observations per cluster, etc. The need for taking clustering into account is not determined solely by the size of the intraclass correlation. It is also determined by the average cluster size. An approximation to the design effect (DEFF) is 1 + (s - 1) r where s is the average cluster size and r is the intraclass correlation. Values of DEFF over 2 suggest that taking clustering into account is necessary.

Thank you for your swift reaction,
I noticed you using the same formula in another question thread. However my need for using a multilevel approach lies for the utmost part in the group variables that have no variation on the individual level. Without multilevel I would have to drop these variables.
The problem now lies in the fact that most of my other variables have design effects of below 2. Only 7 of my 25 variables have design effects of a little above 2. I have tried some multilevel models, but have founs no convergence yet.
Can I expect a better result when I keep trying?

Your convergence problems are most likely related to your low between-level variance. No amount of trying can solve that. It doesn't sound like your grouping variable is a cluster variable. What is it actually? And also, have you tried to convergence suggestions in the Mplus User's Guide on pages 160-162. If you have started with a really complicated model, you could try starting with one part, getting that going, and then adding the rest a bit at a time.

Thanks you for your respons,
My grouping variable is a the score of a certain group on a specific domain. The entire group gets 1 score, so all the members in the group get that score.
Without multilevel things could get sticky. However things are looking up. I tried your suggestion of using a simple model first and that seems to work.
Thanks again

One of my oldest holiday traditions is to create a "card tree" on my laundryroom door with the Christmas cards I receive in the mail. I use to get so many cards that I couldn't get them all on the door, but now, with the Internet and all, it's been a few years since that has happened. (Sometimes there's tinsil around the door, or bows between the cards, but none of that, this year!)
Without going into a lot of detail, I'll just share that our recent Christmases have been somewhat less than the joyful occasions they should have been. Sure, we exchanged gifts, attended church on Christmas morning, had a big dinner, and went through all of the usual motions of the holiday. But, our three-generation, all-female, basically isolated Christmases, which are always hosted in my home so that my mother can participate, have begun to take their toll on me - emotionally, and physically. So, this year, I devised a plan to change the pace (and the scenery), and gifted my daughters and myself with a Christmas trip to New Orleans. I'd been working on the idea of a holiday trip for several months, and had explored several options, but the overwhelming guilt of knowing that taking the trip would mean leaving my mother alone on the holiday, kept me from actually booking anything until December 12th. By that time, my original plans to book a Caribbean getaway for the three of us had become out of reach, financially, so after a few days of scrounging around the Internet, I settled on New Orleans, a city that was then boasting temperatures in the 70's, which sounded great to us, since we were in the frigid 20's and 30's.
My daughters arrived home late on the 23rd - actually just before midnight. The next day, we proceeded with our plan to have Christmas with my mother, and to make it as much like the actual day, as possible. We picked her up and brought her over for gift-giving, dinner, and caroling. We showered my mother with gifts, as we always do, and she loved them all. My oldest brother, Ed, who just lost his wife last month, surprised us all by showing up, something that has never happened before. So, as an added blessing, my mother actually got to spend a holiday with two of her children, for the first time in over a decade. We all had a good visit, but as the evening grew late, the girls and I realized we needed to start preparing for our departure the next morning, so we got ready to take my mother back to her assisted living home. On the way, we took our traditional "light ride" (as we call it) through Newport News Park. Normally, we do this on Christmas night, and it doesn't take long at all. Little did we know, this is apparently the thing to do on Christmas Eve. The line and the ride through the park ended up taking almost an hour and 1/2! When we finally got back home, my daughters tried to get me to open gifts that they had for me, but I'd requested that we not exchange gifts, so that we could spend more freely in New Orleans, so I refused, and that was that.
On Christmas morning, I was up early getting my bag packed when my cell phone rang. It was a recorded message from Delta Airlines, letting me know that our flight to New Orleans had been CANCELLED. I won't take up much space in this post writing about the ensuing drama from this, but I'll just say that you've never met DETERMINATION until you've met me. We made it to New Orleans on Christmas, albeit many hours later than originally planned. The Big Easy was freezing cold, with temperatures in the 40's and cold, cold winds blowing, but still, we had a fun trip, taking in the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of New Orleans!
We returned home late last night. My oldest flew out first thing this morning, to return to her home in NY, and my youngest left this afternoon to drive back to DC. (They both have to work tomorrow.)
So, that was it. The Christmas that really wasn't. This year brought none of our usual traditions (except the light ride) - no opening one gift on Christmas Eve (when I usually still tend to give my daughters new pajamas...lol - no Christmas morning casserole - no putting up or taking down the tree (I didn't even decorate the house, since the girls wouldn't even be here to enjoy it). I could go on with what we didn't do, but I won't. What we did do was spend 4 days together, sharing the experience of traveling together for the very first time since my daughters have been "grown". We made new memories - some good, some not so good - but we made them together, and I hope my daughters will share some of the stories from this trip with their children, some day.. Not much about the past five days has felt like Christmas, but knowing that one of these days, my daughters will (hopefully) be married, with families of their own, I'm glad we took the opportunity to do this now. Still, though, 2010 kind of seems to me like the Christmas That Wasn't, so I think if I had it to do again, I would definitely not choose to travel on the actual holiday. I'd stay home, have my "traditions", and then leave on the first thing moving on December 26th!
By the way, about those gifts that my daughters were NOT supposed to have gotten me: Before we went to the airport on Christmas morning, my youngest daughter convinced me that I had to at least open the gift from my oldest, because it was something that I'd want for the trip. Under pressure, I opened it, and was surprised to find that I was the proud new owner of a NOOK! Of course, after that, I had to open the gift from my youngest, which turned out to be a lovely new blanket-scarf, the heavy type that I'd been wanting for a long time. So, even though I still wish they'd stuck to the agreement, I am truly happy and thankful to have two such thoughtful and loving daughters, who are now able to bless me with so many nice things. :)

A Newport man has pleaded guilty to felony attempted first degree sex offense for an incident involving a 4-year-old neighborhood child.
A Newport man has pleaded guilty to felony attempted first degree sex offense for an incident involving a 4-year-old neighborhood child.
Dallas Harvell Jr., 48, of Dutch Treat Mobile Home Park, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Carteret County Superior Court.
A registered sex offender who had gotten out of prison in September on a 2007 conviction for indecent liberties with a child, Harvell was sentenced to between 20 and 26 years in prison.
�I am glad this prosecution has resulted in a guilty plea and maximum prison sentence,� District Attorney Scott Thomas said in a statement. �Mr. Harvell is a repeat offender and should never have been released early by the Division of Adult Correction. He has now received a maximum prison sentence of 26 years. People are safer with folks like Mr. Harvell in prison.
�I would like to commend the individual who reported the suspicious activity to law enforcement and Sheriff (Asa) Buck�s department for a good investigation.�
On May 31, Harvell was caught with the boy in a wooded area near Harvell�s residence, both had their pants down and Harvell was seen engaging in a lewd and lascivious sex act with the child, according to a previous news release issued by the Carteret County Sheriff�s Office.
Harvell spotted the witness, pulled up his pants and fled with the boy. The witness, who was walking on a path through the wooded area as a cut through to another subdivision, reported his discovery to the sheriff�s office.
Deputies were able to locate the boy and identify Harvell.
�This is yet another case that proves that certain sexual offenders will re-offend if given the opportunity,� Buck said in a statement. �These type offenders should never be considered for early release, especially if they have already been classified as recidivists.
�Thankfully in this case a citizen was in the right place at the right time and came forward with the information in order that we could conduct an investigation. I commend the witness, our deputies and District Attorney Scott Thomas and his office for a job well done.�
Harvell is a convicted sex offender who was placed on the North Carolina registry after being released from prison. He was first convicted in 1982 of indecent liberties with a child in Carteret County. In 1992, he was charged with crimes against nature and indecent liberties with a child in Craven County. In 2000, he was convicted of indecent liberties with a 6-year-old child in Carteret County. In 2007, he was convicted of two counts of indecent liberties with a 7-year-old child in connection with a 2004 Pamlico County incident.
Harvell is required to be registered as sex offender as a lifetime recidivist.

Proper bonding and grounding of communication systems provide reliable operation for voice/data equipment, while enhancing safety for the operator in the event of lightning and AC ground fault conditions. Using ANSI/EIA/TIA-607 grounding topologies, you can achieve these objectives.
Consistently engineering effective grounding systems allows for safe and reliable operation, regardless of the manufacturer and type of telecommunication equipment. ANSI-607 provides the design and installation requirements for various components of the telecommunication system including busbars, conductors, and conductor terminations.
The purpose of ANSI-607 states, in part: The telecommunications grounding and bonding infrastructure supports a multivendor, multiproduct environment, as well as the grounding practices for various systems you may install on customer premises.
Installation example. You can see an example of the ANSI-607 in the Figure (original article). This is a grounding system for a high-rise facility. At lower left, the telecommunication entrance facility (TEF) utilizes a single-point grounding system via the telecommunication main grounding busbar (TMGB). From there, the installer made three bonding connections at various grounding planes to establish a zero-volt reference for the telco infrastructure. First, they ran a conductor between the TMGB and the equipment grounding plane of the AC main service panelboard.
This connection leads to two events:
It establishes the zero-volt reference for the TEF, and
It makes sure the telco equipment is at the same potential as the electrical service during an AC system fault.
The installer makes another bonding connection from the TMGB to the structural steel of the facility. The structural steel will further supplement the grounding plane of the TMGB by providing a lower impedance path to an earth reference. To further equalize the voltage between the AC ground and telco ground, the installer makes a bonding connection to the AC electrical panelboard in the TEF.
ANSI-607 requires that all bonding conductors be minimum No. 6 AWG stranded, insulated conductors. The standard also states that you may need to increase the conductor size to No. 3/0 AWG: presumably in circumstances where the combination of conductor length and high-frequency currents are concerned.
Extending throughout the facility. From the TMGB, a telecommunication bonding backbone (TBB) conductor runs to the telco equipment room (at lower right) and continues to the third floor telecommunication closet (TC). Likewise, a TBB runs to the TC's along the left side of the building. Tap conductors run between the TBB and the telecommunication grounding busbar (TGB). ANSI-607 requires both bonding conductors to be unspliced to its last entrance point. If you splice a conductor, you must splice it with an irreversible high-compression fitting or exothermic weld. The installer should consider specifying a larger conductor (possibly a #3/0 conductor) since the length of the conductor may vary, thus affecting the impedance of the TBB.
If the TBB runs in a metallic conduit between floors or equipment rooms, you should bond it at both ends, if the conduit is longer than 3 ft. Bonding the TBB to conduit longer than 3 ft. reduces the chance that it will be a high inductance during surge conditions.
Within the telco closet, the TGB is required to have a supplementary bonding connection to structural steel and another to the closet's AC electrical panelboard, if applicable. Bonding to the structural steel is critical. With high frequency events, the TBB's impedance may be very high, as its length increases. The bonding connection to the building steel at each floor should keep equipment at the desired zero-volt potential.
Finally, a TBB interconnecting-bonding conductor is required to run between telecommunication closets and equipment rooms on the first floor, top floor, and every third floor in between. This conductor equalizes the potential between grounding planes within the telecommunication closets and equipment room.
The National Electrical Code grounding requirements of telecommunication systems must be supplemented with those of ANSI/EIA/TIA-607 and other industry-related standards. Failure to do so may result in unexplained equipment malfunctions, component damage/degradation, and personnel safety hazards.

Can you tell me where to go for a fairly flat trail run near Ashland? If not near Ashland, perhaps near the Rogue River close to I5. I'd rather not run on a dirt road. I'd like a softer surface than that if possible. I'd like to run twelve miles round trip. Thanks!

Hubble Probes Inner Region of Comet Hyakutake
The Hubble telescope snapped pictures of comet Hyakutake March 25, 1996, when the comet was just 9.3 million miles from Earth.
Unlike most of the published images of Hyakutake, the Hubble pictures focus on a very small region near the heart of the comet, the icy, solid nucleus. The images provide an exceptionally clear view of the near-nucleus region of comet Hyakutake. The image above is a complete view of the 2,070-mile-wide (3,340-kilometer-wide) comet. This picture shows that most of the dust is being produced on the comet's sunward-facing hemisphere. Also at upper left are three small pieces that have broken off the comet and are forming their own tails.

Bookcases and More: Storage in the Round
Square- or rectangular-shaped storage pieces make the most use of available space - and especially in furniture, you seldom see round storage pieces. But they certainly do exist!
The piece above, the Kartell Componibili, could have been included in my posts about colorful storage, or modular storage. You can find it at Nest and Unica Home - both of which are running sales right now. It comes in white, silver and black in addition to the red.
Another eye-catching piece is the Nureyev from Linteloo, available from Limn and Chaplins Furniture (and others).
And then there's the striking Orbit, from Bonaldo, which has a swivel base option; one place to find it is Panik Design. [via Outblush]
Coming back down in height, Smart Furniture provides a round display silo.
And Bramble has a short, round bookcase.
Finally, there's this round bookcase sold by Levenger.

Interesting, not really my style though - somewhat to different for me. But, I do like the wood tones and probably could get used to that bookcase. I also like the idea that because the pieces are round they don't have to be used right up against a wall and will give the room a whole different effect.

Onlinehandyman, it's fun to explore ideas that are a bit unusual (and not our usual style), isn't it?

Jeri, I always love all the resources you come up with! So much work. You're the best.
But, weirdly, I have a think about round bookcases. They seem "squidgy" to me. Untrustworthy in some way. Is that weird?
- January 22, 2010 at 2:59:00 PM PST
- Jeri Dansky said...
PenelopeLovesLists: No, not weird at all. It doesn't seem the books would be as solidly in place as in your standard bookcase, does it?
And if you live in earthquake territory as I do, you bolt your bookcases to the wall - and that wouldn't work with these.
But for certain specific spaces, I can see round bookcases being a good answer. For example, I can see that tall one in a room without the wall space for a standard bookcase (and where using a bookcase as a room divider isn't a good idea, either).

PATERSON, N.J. (AP) – A 12-year-old girl who was struck and killed by a bullet while riding a scooter in a northern New Jersey neighborhood will help save the lives of others as an organ donor.
The Rev. Della Fischer, a spokeswoman for the family of Genesis Rincon, says Genesis was removed from life support late Monday night and her organs are being donated.
Fischer said early Tuesday the family was waiting for the organ donation process to be completed and then, "We'll be saying our final goodbyes."
Paterson police detective Capt. Heriberto Rodriguez told NJ.com that the girl was declared brain-dead on Sunday.
Paterson police believe the shooter was aiming at someone else when Genesis was struck at about 8:40 p.m. Saturday. Two other children who were with her were not injured.AlertMe

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am 25 years old and had a T1 cancerous polyp removed from my rectum in December. They are now recommending radiation therapy. I am wondering what the long-term effects of radiation therapy are and also whether or not it is really necessary.
Richard Whittington, MD, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, responds:
This is a tough one. The short-term effects of radiation therapy are transient diarrhea, bladder irritability (frequency, urgency, having to get up at night to urinate), and irritation of the skin. The longer term effects in men and women are a little different. In men there is possible decreased fertility or sterility, with the risk depending on the radiation technique and the cancer location. Sperm banking is typically recommended if the individual is interested in having children. In a woman the risk of sterility is near 100%. With the long survival expected in a young individual, treatment with radiation could complicate the management of any future pelvic conditions, such as other polyps, prostate or bladder problems. Although there is very poor data to suggest that there is a marked increased risk, second tumors of the bladder, prostate or rectum may be slightly elevated. Other important considerations include:
1. What is the risk of the tumor returning?
This is generally determined by the size, grade and character of the tumor. The risk is higher for T1 lesions over 1 cm and very high if over 2cm. It is higher for poorly differentiated as opposed to well or moderately differentiated tumors. It is higher for tumors that arise in villous adenomas. It is higher when there is a colloid or anaplastic histology. Polypoid lesion with a negative stalk have a much lower risk than when the stalk is involved and is also lower than it is for sessile lesions.
2. If it returns, where will it return?
If the risk is low, as defined above, then the primary risk is local recurrence, but the high risk patients also have a higher risk of distant metastases which are usually incurable.
3. If it returns what do we do?
If it is superficial and local, another excision is possible, but a more invasive tumor may require a bowel resection. If it is a low lying lesion it is possible that the next procedure may be surgery with permanent colostomy, while if it is higher up and surgery is needed, then the rectum can be preserved.
4. What is the risk of other polyps/tumors developing?
These tumors are infrequent in this age group and raise the risk of a genetic predisposition to other polyps. Lynch syndrome is the most common. This is important because you have to plan comprehensive management at the beginning so you don't complicate the management of other polyps later on. It is also important because these are the tumors where the targeted therapies at the specific defective genes seem to be preventing the recurrences.
5. Are there any other conditions that could complicate the decision?
Inflammatory bowel disease or other local problems, diabetes, prior surgery will all raise the cost of radiation.

This week, Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) authored an amendment to the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (H.R. 2454), which helps address serious agricultural concerns.
In a press conference with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi yesterday, Peterson said he and others have been working with Senator Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) "to massage the part of the bill that affects agriculture in terms of whether we can develop the next generation of biofuels, and we can have an offset program that we believe works for agriculture . . ."
Following the announcement of the amendment, the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) sent a letter to Rep. Peterson in support. The RFA has been concerned about the issue of international land use change being incorporated into lifecycle greenhouse gas analyses (as required by the Renewable Fuel Standard/RFS). The RFA points out that the science of international land use impacts is "nascent," and that time is still needed for scientists to come to consensus on scientifically-sound analysis.
"Done correctly, the RFA believes such an analysis will demonstrate a significant carbon benefit is achieved through the use of ethanol from all sources.Your amendment restores the principles of sound science to the regulatory framework for the RFS," wrote the RFA to Rep. Peterson.
The American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) also supports passage of the amendment because it "establishes an agricultural offset program within the USDA; provides for a list of eligible agricultural offsets; corrects the misuse of indirect land use calculations in evaluating the use of biofuels; and alters the definition of biomass," said AFBF Bob Stallman.
The National Corn Growers Association reports that the amendment will create "a workable agricultural offsets market under the jurisdiction of the USDA and will explicitly exempt agriculture from a greenhouse gas emissions cap while also creating opportunities for producers to be a part of the solution for addressing climate change."
It's important to point out, however, that some agricultural and environmental constituencies are split on the measure. The debate will continue in Congress. If the bill passes in the House, it could face a more difficult time in the Senate. Stay tuned.

Lung Cancer Treatment
My friend quit smoking and then later was diagnosed with lung cancer. She is in her early 40's and had 1/3 of her lung removed, but now the cancer has spread into several small tumors in different places. Due to her mother and younger sister previously dying of breast cancer and having side effects from their cancer therapy, she has decided against chemotherapy. What should we advise her?
Barbara Campling, MD, Medical Oncologist, responds:
It is hard to know how to advise your friend without a bit more information. It is interesting that she quit smoking some time before she was diagnosed with lung cancer. This is a peculiar association, which we see very frequently. She initially underwent surgery for her lung cancer. Surgery is generally reserved for patients with localized cancers, which are potentially curable. Now you say that the cancer has spread to several small tumors. Do you know what organs it has spread to? Has it spread outside of the chest? Unfortunately this happens all too often. Generally speaking, once the cancer has spread outside of the chest, there is no form of treatment that is curative. However, it is still treatable. Chemotherapy can often relieve symptoms and prolong survival in patients with lung cancer that has spread outside of the chest. Although chemotherapy also has significant side effects, we are now much better at controlling these side effects. On the other hand, the effects of the tumor can be quite unpleasant, and patients often feel better if their cancer responds to chemotherapy. Some patients have negative ideas about chemotherapy because they have had friends or relatives who have died of cancer and have been on chemotherapy. However, many times it is the cancer that made them sick, and less so the chemotherapy. It is her decision whether she goes ahead with chemotherapy, and no one should force her into it. Regardless of whether she has any form of treatment, it is important that she be followed regularly by an oncologist. There are many symptomatic measures that can be used to relieve pain and make her more comfortable even if the cancer is progressing.

President Obama and the bipartisan Gang of Eight in Washington who want to create a "pathway to citizenship" for millions of illegal aliens have sent a message loud and clear to those who follow the rules: You're chumps!
Have you patiently waited for months and years for the State Department and Department of Homeland Security to slog through your application? You're chumps!
Have you paid thousands of dollars in travel, legal and medical fees to abide by the thicket of entry, employment, health and processing regulations? You're chumps!
Have you studied for your naturalization test, taken the oath of allegiance to heart, embraced our time-tested principle of the rule of law, and demonstrated that you will be a financially independent, productive citizen? You're chumps!
Unrepentant amnesty peddlers on both sides of the aisle admit their plan is all about votes and power.
These cynical pols insist the rest of law-abiding Americans and law-abiding permanent residents must support Washington's push to "do something" because "11 million people are living in the shadows."
To which I say: So? There are 23 million Americans out of work. Why aren't they Washington's top priority anymore? Didn't both parties once pledge that j-o-b-s for unemployed and underemployed Americans was Job No. 1? Why is the first major legislative push of 2013 another mass amnesty/voter drive/entitlement expansion?
You know who else deserves more attention and compassion than "11 million people living in the shadows"? The 4.6 million individuals around the world who legally applied for sponsored green cards and followed the established legal immigration process. They've been shunted aside while the Obama administration ushers illegal alien "DREAM" waiver winners to the front of the line.
As Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies points out: "It is clear that there is no way the roughly 1 million or more potential Dreamers can be accommodated by (the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service) without noticeably slowing down the processing of legal immigrants. The agency already processes 6 million applications a year without the amnesty add-ons.
There have been nearly a dozen major amnesty laws, affecting at least 5 million illegal aliens, passed since the Reagan 1986 amnesty. These beneficiaries and their families have crowded out legal immigrants and increased their application waiting times in untold ways.
Want a reality check? Not one of the past federal amnesties was associated with a decline in illegal immigration. Instead, the number of illegal aliens in the U.S. has tripled since 1986. The total effect of the amnesties was even larger because relatives later joined amnesty recipients, and this number was multiplied by an unknown number of children born to amnesty recipients who then acquired automatic U.S. citizenship.
Hopelessly naive (or stubbornly self-deluded) freshman GOP Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida insists that any new recipients of the Gang of Eight's Grand Pander scheme will have to "go to the back of the line and wait behind everybody who applied before them, the right way." Rubio emphasizes to conservative talk show hosts that there will be background checks and rigorous vetting.
You want "comprehensive immigration reform"? Start with reliable adjudications, fully cleared backlogs, consistent interior enforcement, working background checks for the existing caseload, and efficient and effective deportation policies that punish law-breakers and do right by law-abiders.
And please don't pretend that piling millions of new illegal aliens onto an already overwhelmed system is going to fix a darned thing. Chumps.

And…it's convictions on all ten counts for pedophile cult leader Tony Alamo! Naturally, his response is the typical self-aggrandizement of the pathologically narcissistic. "I'm just another one of the prophets who went to jail for the Gospel." Some "prophet"; he couldn't even prophesy his own fate. No, Tony or Bernie, I mean you're just another one of the perverts who went to jail for porking little kids.
So, to complete our celebration of Alamo's downfall, I guess it's time now to pick our winners in the "Can you write like allexus8?" contest. So…below are the links to the entries, and in the sidebar is the poll to vote, which will only be open 5 days. (There is such a thing as flogging a joke to death.) Have fun, and maybe, in five days, I'll have thought of a prize. Unless allexus8 wins. You've already got your prize, haven't you?
The entrants are… (feel free to imagine a drum roll here, if you want to play this out to full cheese effect)
Something distresses me about this photo of Alamo. I'm sure the resemblance to our very own beloved John Iacoletti is totally coincidental.

The 270-day average growing season for Craven and other Eastern North Carolina counties won�t be changed by last weekend�s early chill, but some crops did get nipped by the early, quick and unexpected freeze.
The 270-day average growing season for Craven and other Eastern North Carolina counties won�t be changed by last weekend�s early chill, but some crops did get nipped by the early, quick and unexpected freeze.
The National Weather Service in Newport sent out an urgent weather message Friday afternoon advising that freezing temperatures were expected over much of the area that night and early Saturday morning.
�Crops and other temperature sensitive vegetation could be damaged or killed,� the Weather Service advised.
The sub-freezing temperatures arrived and came all the way to the coast, with some counties getting lows in the upper 20s. But the freeze was brief and not repeated, even though cold temperatures remained most of the weekend.
Local farmers said that, fortunately, the major field crops in Craven County already were mature. Some farmers did have cotton, planted late because of a long rainy spell, which still had bolls on the tip of the stalks that hadn�t filled.
�And I don�t think they will,� said Jason Jones, a farmer in the Asbury Community of western Craven County. He said it would not dramatically affect yield.
David Parker, whose farm on which he planted tobacco, corn, soybeans, cotton and sweet potatoes is closer to New Bern, said, �All our crops were mature.�
He said he still needs some sunshine to finish his cotton, but �it�s looking better every day. I had the best corn crop ever.�
Jones, who planted corn, soybeans and cotton, also was pleased with his 450 acres of corn.
�We had real good yield across the county,� he said. �No farmers are complaining. If we had last year�s prices, it would be even better, but prices have dropped significantly.�
North Carolina�s economy gets an average $74 billion annually from agriculture, about 19 percent of its income. Twenty percent of the state�s workforce is in an agriculture-related job.
Until about 10 years ago, Craven County ranked 25th in the country�s 3,000 counties in agriculture production and income. North Carolina ranks first nationally in the production of flue-cured tobacco and sweet potatoes and fourth in upland cotton.
According to the Cooperative Extension Service, Craven County has about 70,000 acres in farmland, providing about $60.5 million annually for the local economy.

We Lost a Loved One
May 22, 2008 by: Susan Goldsmith
If you're in this business long enough, it is inevitable that you will fall in love with some of your guests.
It is also inevitable that considering the thousands of guests we have gracing our inn, that some will pass on.
In the last 14 months, this has happened to us twice.
Both these women died way before their "sell by" dates–one in her 40's and one in her very early 60's.
Too young!!
Fred and Margaret came to us 10 years ago. They walked in off the street on a busy August day, with the NO VACANCY sign hanging outside. "We want to stay here. Do you really have no vacancies?" they asked.
I had forgotten to take the NO VACANCY sign down that morning after clearing out part of a full house.
Yes, we had a room for Fred and Margaret.
Thank goodness. They stayed at Boreas for three nights and a long-standing friendship was begun.
We've met the kids–we know the family well. Fred and Margaret have come for "Kite Festivus" as Fred calls it, nearly every year.
We all fell in love.
Fred and Margaret started coming each Valentine's Day for three nights. They met other guests here and would rendezvous with them for Valentine's Day. Very sweet.
This Valentine's Day, Fred had to cancel.
Margaret was ill; it sounded bad.
She was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer and it was just too late for treatment.
She was just too ill.
Margaret died Tuesday morning, the 20th of May at 7:15 in the morning.
Way too fast–we were hoping to get to Puyallup to say goodbye. So we are saying goodbye from Boreas.
Fred is coming back for "Kite Festivus" this August, by himself. He may be joined by his daughter, Sarah.
Our other guest, Odell, who lost his young wife, Linda, in April of 2007, comes back by himself.
Boreas is a good place to be by yourself. But Margaret and Linda will always be with us.
We don't mean that in a trite way.
We truly hold them in our hearts.
Really getting to know and love our guests is what makes our lives rich.
We certainly aren't doing this for the big bucks! 🙂
We will miss, you Margaret, and promise to take good care of Fred.
If you can't be with the one you loved, love the ones you're with!

Regarding Jim Wallis' article "How to Choose a President" (November 2012): To me it is not Christian to cut vital services such as Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security; there are people who are really hurting and need these services. It would be nice if the churches and each individual could just go it alone, but many churches and individuals are struggling themselves. We, the people, are government. We are more powerful if we are united in our giving.

Akio Takamori
American (born in Japan), b. 1950
Leda and the Swan, 1993
57.8 x 52.4 x 15.6 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift from the collection of Robert and Meridel Archambeau
Japanese-born Akio Takamori apprenticed with a master folk potter in Japan before continuing his formal studies in ceramics in the United States in the 1970s. Now working out of Seattle, his works explore both vessel-making and sculpture. Leda and the Swan is indicative of the reintroduction of the figure into his practice in the mid-1990s. The strong graphic quality of the work is emphasized by the use of minimal colour with heavy, bold outlines. Areas of concentrated energy, conveyed by concentric circles or repeated geometric forms, are countered by the overall intimate, gentle rhythm of the two entwined figures, sensuously wrapping the contours of the vessel.

On CNN's State Of The Union, Grover Norquist Pretends Conservatives Haven't Fought Obamacare Implementation
Conservative activist Grover Norquist falsely claimed that "nobody is keeping anybody out" of the Affordable Care Act and that "the idea that Republicans have not been trying to help is wrong." Norquist's rhetoric ignores Republican efforts to delay implementation of the program, attempts to repeal the law, and activist campaigns discouraging enrollment.
From the August 18 edition of CNN's State of the Union:
In fact, Republicans and conservatives have made multiple attempts to discourage adoption of the program by citizens.
House Republicans have voted [1] to repeal the law 40 times, while some Republican members of Congress and activists are currently promoting the idea [2] of defunding the law.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) wrote a letter [3] to NFL commissioner Roger Gooddell in order to dissuade [4] the league from taking part in a public service campaign to educate consumers about the law.
The House Republican Conference suggested [5] members engage in media tours to "to emphasize the need to repeal ObamaCare" during the August recess.
26 states with Republican governors or Republican dominated legislatures have refused [6] to set up insurance exchanges in their states, delaying implementation of the law. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation [7], as of March 2013, "10.8 million uninsured under the new Medicaid expansion limit reside in states where governors oppose the expansion or ar still weighing options."
Outside groups are also working against enrollment, as reported by [8] Reuters:
FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity, a conservative issue group financed by billionaire brothers David and Charles Koch, known for funding conservative causes, are planning separate media and grassroots campaigns aimed at adults in their 20s and 30s - the very people Obama needs to have sign up for healthcare coverage in new online insurance exchanges if his reforms are to succeed.
"We're trying to make it socially acceptable to skip the exchange," said Dean Clancy, vice president for public policy at FreedomWorks, which boasts 6 million supporters. The group is designing a symbolic "Obamacare card" that college students can burn during campus protests.
Furthermore, Reuters also reports [8] that Crossroads GPS, the pressure group backed by [9] Fox News pundit Karl Rove, plans a dishonest campaign "aimed at elderly voters" that will claim Medicare funds are being used to pay for the new law. A Crossroads spokesman told Reuters that they hope "there may be some traction to repeal the worst parts of the law and eventually repeal the law entirely."

There are four Canada geese on the opposite side of Otter Creek as I write this, standing on the tiny frozen edge of what was once an enormous sheet of ice. They look fat and proud of themselves, having weathered another winter and made it home to Vermont.
I'd like to report that these happy harbingers of spring have brightened my day, as they so optimistically survey their warming domain and search for nesting sites.
But I can also peer out the window and, in addition to the geese, see my snowboard lying forlornly on the deck in the 50-degree sunshine.

I am looking for someone to play some fun tennis with. My schedule is pretty flexible. I'd like to make a day and time to get some tennis in every week; it could be flexible too. I'm new to the area, but it looks like my best court options are: Cedar Rose park, Ocean View park, James Kenney Rec, Plaza Tennis or Strawberry Creek park.
If you just want to meet up once that is fine too!
I'm open to suggestions and I love to enjoy the game :)

Physics? Who needs them! Thrillville: Off the Rails takes the insane roller coasters and theme park madness of the original Thrillville game to new heights, literally. LucasArts says that the first big change in this sequel is the new height limit of the roller coasters, as now your creations can be taller than ever before. This time out your coasters will be even more insane than any you could have created in the last game.
During our demo we saw coasters that would literally leap off the rails and land on another part of track. Some coasters were even launched vertically into the air and then caught by a pair of rails as they came back down. All of this craziness is yours to play with as you build a theme park that would make M.C. Escher proud. Creating your track is as simple as picking a starting point laying down as much track as you desire. You can pick from tons of different pieces and make coasters with enough twists and turns and loops to make an F-15 fighter pilot loose his lunch. If you have a Wii you'll get to use the Wii Remote to place track.
There are also new "Whoa" pieces, especially insane bits of track that do all the craziest stuff, such as launching your coaster through the air or doing other tricks that are impossible for real-world rides to pull off. You don't even need to finish a track if you don't want. If you're lazy or just curious you can make a track end in the middle of a straightaway 30 feet in the air. What happens once it runs is that the train will run off the track, disappear in a puff of smoke and all the riders will safely jetpack down to the ground. This is a family game after all. There is also a track bot you can use to finish your coaster for you if you want. As you build your parks you'll visit 15 different themed areas such as a space-themed park and a winter-themed park.
Thrillville: Off the Rails isn't just about wacky rollercoasters. There are also plenty of smaller carnival rides for you to fill your virtual park with. The original game included 20 of these attractions. Those same 20 mini rides are back along with ten new ones. We played a boxing mini-game that used both the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk. It was fairly simple and pretty much what you'd expect from a typical mini-game.
Once you have your park built you can go down to the ground level and talk to your visitors to get their opinions of your rides. There is also a brand-new story mode to play through. All the exposition is done by talking to your park guests. The story is composed of more than 100 missions.
We had a lot of fun watching the cool new rollercoaster designs and the sheer variety of the mini-games will probably keep us busy for a good while. There's a definite kiddie feel here, but the game is called Thrillville and not Rollercoaster Simulator 3.0. There's a lot of new stuff here and it builds on what was already a solid theme park sim game.
