WEYBRIDGE — Some warm, wet fall weather has contributed to a late-season surge of pesky mosquitoes that has been harassing people in portions of Addison County.
Tom Baskett, chairman of the Lemon Fair Insect Control District (LFICD), confirmed the surge but said his district was unable to treat it because of the unavailability of state funds. The LFICD conducts drops of pesticides that kill mosquito larvae in the member towns of Bridport, Cornwall and Weybridge.

Hey Y'all,
Sorry that there has been ZERO blogging forever on my part… I am so busy and my regular day job does not afford me the extra time I used to have to blog. But once in awhile I hop on here and post-date some stuff so you can see what I've been up to!
I've been working on the Summer Issue of Dames, Planes and Automobiles. Featuring my usual layout and artwork, as well as an article on The War in the Pacific.

SEATTLE — The Seattle Seahawks are heading to their second Super Bowl — and they have their smothering defense to thank.
All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman made a huge play Sunday evening to preserve a 23-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game, setting up a Super Bowl XLVIII showdown with the Denver Broncos on Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
With 30 seconds to play and his team at the Seattle 18-yard line and trailing by six points, 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick tried to hit Michael Crabtree in the end zone. But Sherman would have none of it, making an acrobatic leap and tipping the ball up. Linebacker Malcolm Smith reeled in the interception, and CenturyLink Field erupted.
SUMMARY: Seattle Seahawks 23, San Francisco 49ers 17
In a postgame interview with Fox's Erin Andrews, Sherman lost his cool.
"I'm the best corner in the game!" he shouted into the microphone. "When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that's the result you're going to get!"
The bad blood continued to percolate with Crabtree, too. Asked about his back-and-forth barking with Sherman after that play, the San Francisco receiver said: "I ain't getting into that. He knows what time it is. When we're on the field, he isn't doing nothing. That's one play. He knows."
It was one play that sent the Seahawks to the Super Bowl.
"That's as sweet as it gets, man," said Sherman, who led the NFL with eight interceptions this season. "We knew it would come down to us on the back end to win this thing. Our front seven played amazing, our linebackers played amazing, our offense did an amazing job. So we knew we had to finish this off."
The aptly-named Legion of Boom secondary slammed the door on the 49ers, who were aiming to get back to the Super Bowl for the second consecutive season.
As "New York, New York" blared on the stadium speakers, the giddy Seahawks celebrated and confetti cannons showered blue, green and silver glitter on them.
"Not until Sherm tipped that ball did it really hit me," Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll said. "It's quite a magical moment. You can't quite grasp the reality of it. Is this really happening? Did we really do this? Very, very special."
Now, Seattle is headed to the league's biggest stage, looking to do what it failed to do in the 2005 season, when the Seahawks suffered a 21-10 loss to Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XL.
The Seahawks will play the Broncos, who punched their Super Bowl ticket with a 26-16 victory over New England in the early game Sunday. The game will be a contrast in quarterback styles, with record-setting passer Peyton Manning squaring off against Seattle's ultra-mobile Russell Wilson, among the league's next-generation stars.
Oddsmakers have the Broncos as early two-point favorites, according to R.J. Bell of Pregame.com.
Wilson, young but mature in his second NFL season, is emblematic of the fresh-faced Seahawks.
"This team, as young as they are, they don't act it," Carroll said. "But they know we're not done."
The Seahawks beat the 49ers in Seattle for the third consecutive time, dating to last season, and did so by forcing three Kaepernick turnovers in the fourth quarter — a fumble and two interceptions. To that point, the third-year quarterback had been San Francisco's most effective offensive weapon, having run for a game-high 130 yards in 11 carries, and hitting Anquan Boldin with a laser-beam 26-yard touchdown pass.
In the end, though, it was Wilson who wound up lifting the conference championship trophy, surviving constant pressure from a potent San Francisco pass rush.
"We played so hard," Wilson said. "We talked at the beginning of the year, and we said, 'Why not us?'"
San Francisco had no answer for that.
Wilson gave the Seahawks their first lead of the game with 13 minutes 44 seconds remaining, when he connected with Jermaine Kearse on a 35-yard touchdown pass to put Seattle up, 20-17. It was a daring call on fourth and seven, although Wilson felt safe throwing a deep ball because the 49ers had been flagged for jumping offside on the play.
The Seahawks would add a Steven Hauschka field goal, his third of the day.
Marshawn Lynch led Seattle with 109 yards in 22 carries, including a 40-yard rumble in the third quarter for the Seahawks' first touchdown, which tied the score, 10-10.
"We played Seahawks football," said Seattle receiver Doug Baldwin, who had six catches for 106 yards. "Marshawn had over 100 yards. The wide receivers, we made our plays when we had the opportunity to do so. And what we've been doing the entire year has been leaning on our defense. When we came to a crucial moment, a crucial situation, we needed our defense to make a play. Richard Sherman tipped the ball, and Malcolm made the interception."
Said safety Earl Thomas, a fixture on the NFL's stingiest defense, points-wise: "I think this was a game we all expected, two great defenses going against each other.
"We always talk about how good we want to be, how we want to separate. This is how you separate."
Wilson was sacked four times in the first half, including the first play of the game. On that, linebacker Aldon Smith broke free as Wilson rolled left. Smith grabbed him and punched the ball loose as Wilson tried to break free. They both fell to the turf, and Smith somehow was able to pop to his feet and pounce on the fumble at the Seattle 15.
San Francisco couldn't take full advantage of the prime field position, however, gaining just eight yards before kicking a 25-yard field goal.
That set the tone for a defensive slugfest of a first half in which the Seahawks failed to find their offensive rhythm. Their defense did a good job of containing San Francisco's passing game, but the Seahawks were frequently burned by the scrambling of Kaepernick.
But in the end, it was Seattle's defense that paved the path to the Super Bowl.
"Our defense, it stood up when it counted," said Sherman, whose team was eliminated by the Falcons in the divisional round last season. "None of us wanted to feel what we felt in Atlanta ever again. We felt like we let the team down. In this game, we wanted to take that initiative to make plays."

Extracting fit statistics from MI output

Missing Data Modeling
Shin, Tacksoo
posted on Wednesday, November 30, 2011 - 5:22 am
Dear Linda and Bengt,
I am doing missing data study with Bayesian based analysis (Multiple imputation). For this simulation study, MplusAutomation of R program is also imposed. I successfully created and run models. Problem is that the model fit statistics (e.g., Posterior fit statistics and DIC) cannot read within R console. When reading Model output (readModels in R), there were only parameter estimate information. Also, when running summaryStats in R, I failed to obtain any model fit information.
But, I found all fit results in the separated Mplus outputs.
Do you have any idea about it? Am I wrong? in what respect?
Second question is "PPP can be interpreted same as p-value of chi-square in ML analysis?" Can they be comparable?
Thank you
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Thursday, December 01, 2011 - 2:53 pm
I checked with the author of MplusAutomation and he had not added the fit statistics. He is doing this now and it will be in the next version of MplusAutomation which will be available next week. You can contact the author directly if you have further questions.
Yes, the p-value of PPP can be interpreted the same as the chi-square p-value. For further information, see on the website under Papers:
Muthén, B. & Asparouhov, T. (2011). Bayesian SEM: A more flexible representation of substantive theory. Forthcoming in Psychological Methods.

Dear Linda,
When extracting model fit information through MplusAutomation by R, "showSummaryTable" easily organizes and prints all outputs. Is there any similar option when extracting model parameter estimates?
Thank you.

You should contact the MplusAutomation author regarding this question.

Dear Linda,
I found that the recent version (7.1) of Mplus provides BIC in Bayesian output. So, I tried to extract BIC values through MplusAutomation. Unfortunately, I got an error message.
R command: showSummaryTable(summaryStats, keepCols=c("Title", "DIC", "BIC", "PostPred_PValue"), sortBy="BIC")
Error Message is followed,
Error in subsetModelList(modelList, keepCols, dropCols, sortBy) : sortBy field: BIC is not present in the summary data.frame.
Should I update and download a different version of MplusAutomation? Or this fit statistic should be added in program?
Always thanks for your help...

Hello Tacksoo,
It is hard to diagnose the problem you described without seeing the Mplus output file or the structure of the R data read in by MplusAutomation. But if you're extracting summary statistics from a multiple imputation analysis, then most of them are reported as means and SDs. So, I would do this first:
to see what's in the data.frame. I would guess you'll see something like:
Classes 'mplus.summaries' and 'data.frame': 1 obs. of 38 variables:
$ Mplus.version : chr "6"
$ AnalysisType : chr "complex"
$ DataType : chr "IMPUTATION"
$ Estimator : chr "MLR"
$ Parameters : num 15
$ LL_Mean : num -12270
$ LL_SD : num 26.5
$ LL_NumComputations : num 5
$ AIC_Mean : num 24570
$ AIC_SD : num 53.1
$ AIC_NumComputations : num 5
$ BIC_Mean : num 24665
$ BIC_SD : num 53.1
If that's the case, you should be passing things like "DIC_Mean" and "BIC_Mean" to showSummaryTable.
If this doesn't solve the problem, please email me the output file and all of the relevant R code.
Hope that helps,

O'Reilly renewed 2003 attack on Jeremy Glick, son of 9-11 victim
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
More than a year ago, FOX News Channel host Bill O'Reilly verbally attacked and severely distorted the comments of O'Reilly Factor guest Jeremy Glick, whose father died in the September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. On July 20, 2004, O'Reilly again attacked Glick on The O'Reilly Factor -- although Glick was not present to defend himself.
Responding to New York Times chief film critic A.O. Scott's review of producer/director Robert Greenwald's documentary film Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism, O'Reilly called Scott "a coward as well as a propagandist" for refusing to "come on the [O'Reilly Factor] program" and for suggesting that O'Reilly was "belligerent" and "boorish" in his February 4, 2003, interview with Glick (an interview documented in Outfoxed).
In a manner reminiscent of his 2003 verbal attacks, O'Reilly again smeared Glick and distorted his remarks. From the July 20, 2004, edition of FOX News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor:
O'REILLY: But who is this guy, really? Well, on this program, Glick said President [George W.] Bush and his father [former President George H.W. Bush] were responsible for his [Glick's] father's death. He said George W. Bush pulled off a coup to get elected. He implied the U.S.A. itself was a terrorist nation. And he called his father's death at the hands of an Al Qaeda "alleged assassination." He said America itself was responsible for the 9-11 attack because it is an imperialistic, aggressive nation. Glick was dismissed from The Factor because he was completely off the wall. Security actually had to take the guy out of the building, he was that out of control.
Glick never said "President Bush and his father were responsible for his [Glick's] father's death." What Glick did say, on the February 4, 2003, edition of The O'Reilly Factor, was the following: "[O]ur current president now inherited a legacy from his father and inherited a political legacy that's responsible for training militarily, economically, and situating geopolitically the parties involved in the alleged assassination and the murder of my father and countless of thousands of others."
O'Reilly's remark that Glick "implied the U.S.A. itself was a terrorist nation" is also a distortion. In 2003, O'Reilly said to Glick, "I don't think he'd [your father] be equating this country as a terrorist nation as you are." Glick replied, "Well, I wasn't saying that it was necessarily like that. ... What I'm saying is ... is that in -- six months before the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan, starting in the Carter administration and continuing and escalating while Bush's father was head of the CIA, we recruited a hundred thousand radical mujahedeens to combat a democratic government in Afghanistan, the Turaki government."
O'Reilly's claim that "security actually had to take the guy [Glick] out of the building, he was that out of control" is questionable. During the interview, it was O'Reilly who called Glick's views "a bunch of crap"; O'Reilly who repeatedly told Glick to "shut up"; O'Reilly who told Glick, "I'm more angry about it [the September 11 terrorist attacks] than you are"; and O'Reilly who ended the interview by saying, "Cut his mic. I'm not going to dress you down anymore, out of respect for your father." According to Glick, as documented in Outfoxed, "The executive producer and the assistant encouraged me to leave the building because they were, quote, concerned that if O'Reilly ran into me in the hallway, he would end up in jail."
O'Reilly also suggested during the 2003 exchange that Glick's parents would side with O'Reilly and not with Glick: "I'm sure your beliefs are sincere, but what upsets me is I don't think your father would be approving of this. ... [M]an, I hope your mother isn't watching this." O'Reilly also claimed that Glick was "exploiting" the families of the September 11 victims; O'Reilly said, "I've done more for them than you will ever hope to do."
O'Reilly's July 20, 2004, commentary echoed his smears against Glick following the 2003 interview. The day after Glick appeared on The O'Reilly Factor, O'Reilly said that Glick had "spew[ed] hatred for this program and his country using vile propaganda." On the September 18, 2003, edition of The O'Reilly Factor, as Outfoxed documents, O'Reilly went even further in distorting Glick's claim that Bush inherited "a political legacy that's responsible for training" the September 11 terrorists, saying Glick "accused President [George W.] Bush of knowing about 9-11 before it happened." On September 19, 2003, O'Reilly returned to the claim that Glick accused both Presidents Bush of being "directly responsible for 9-11."

Chinese GP 2010
Saturday Team Quotes
Jenson Button (5th, 1:34.979): "I was struggling a little with the car in the first two sessions. By Q3, though, it was much better, but it was a little bit too late by then: the car felt quite different, balance-wise, and I had to play around with the diff and the front wing to find a good feeling in the car. So it wasn't a bad lap; it's just a bit frustrating that it took us that long in qualifying to get the balance right. But fifth is just about okay, and I think we'll have a good car for the race tomorrow. It's probably going to rain tomorrow anyway, so the set-up we have may well be pretty good in the wet conditions."
Lewis Hamilton (6th, 1:35.034): "I'm a little disappointed - we wanted to get pole today, and thought we could -, and I don't really know where the time went in Q3. The tyres felt fine - pretty much exactly the same as in Q1 and Q2, when the car felt great - but in Q3 the car started moving around a lot more, and it felt like the front was bottoming. We'd been quick all weekend, but sixth was the best I could do in Q3. I think we ought to have been further up the grid - but we'll fight our way as far up the field as we can tomorrow. I'm sure it will be a good race."
Martin Whitmarsh, Team Principal: "Lewis recorded good times in Q1 and Q2, but his Q3 lap was about 0.3s slower than we'd hoped for. We don't yet know the reason for that - it could be a number of things - but of course we'll analyse it. It's a pity, though, because without that 0.3s deficit he'd have been on the front row for tomorrow's race. As for Jenson, he put in a very good lap in Q3 on used Option tyres - but, again, so close were the times of the drivers who qualified between P2 and P8, that a tenth or two would have made a significant difference to his grid slot. So fifth and sixth aren't ideal, but tomorrow the weather may well be more changeable than it was today, and both our drivers have great ability in such conditions."
Mercedes GP
Nico Rosberg (4th, 1:34.923): "Fourth place is quite a nice surprise and I'm very pleased that we seem to have made a step forward this weekend. We really got the most out of the car in qualifying and I've worked well with my engineer Jock and the team to improve the car and get the set-up right this weekend. We didn't think we would be this far up the grid today as we were struggling in practice this morning compared to the McLarens but to be level with the quickest Ferrari and a bit closer to the Red Bulls is very satisfying. It's a good step for us and we're well placed to have a good race tomorrow."
Michael Schumacher (9th, 1:35.646): "I am obviously disappointed about my qualifying. It didn't really come together today. In certain areas I was just not quick enough and at some corner exits, I struggled a bit with rear end grip. I haven't really found the balance of the car all weekend. It will be tough to be too optimistic for tomorrow from my grid position but then I had some good starts lately and there is always room for lots of things to happen in Formula One races. We can still achieve some good points and I am definitely going to go for it."
Ross Brawn, Team Principal: "Well done to Nico and the team for an excellent performance in qualifying today. Fourth position is certainly ahead of where we expected to be this weekend and Nico drove very well in all three qualifying sessions to put himself in contention for a strong race tomorrow. Michael has not achieved such a good balance on the car this weekend and had a less satisfying day. However he will give it everything in the race tomorrow and should have the opportunity to show the progress made since the start of the season."
Norbert Haug, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "A great job from Nico and the team on a very demanding track. Nico's lap puts him in fourth place and less than one and a half tenths from the front row and closer to the pole time than in the previous races. Hopefully we can repeat a similar performance tomorrow. We were the third fastest team today, ten thousandths of a second down to the second fastest, so a good job from everybody. Michael was not so happy with his car but he is in a good position to score the points tomorrow that he could not achieve in the last two races through no fault of his own. There seems to be a chance of rain during the race so it will be interesting to see how it develops."
Red Bull-Renault
Sebastian Vettel (1st, 1:34.558): "It was tough today. I was not happy yesterday and this morning, as Mark was quite a bit quicker than me. We made some changes to the car in Mark's direction, but it was still extremely difficult. I was struggling in the first sector, but then I got a purple (fastest) time in sector one on my last lap, so I think we made a good step forward! I found a better line that worked, remembering things from last year. I lost my way a little bit in free practice this morning, but I had two very good runs in Q3. I think the first would have already been a good time, but I was too wide in the last corner. The second run was better - it was a fantastic lap. We got a fourth consecutive pole position for Red Bull. We're proving that we have a very good car, no matter what the circuit. I'm very pleased with today. Thanks to the mechanics, as they had zero lunch due to all the changes that were required between free practice and qualifying."
Mark Webber (2nd, 1:34.806): "In P3, things came a little bit my way on some of the settings and it was a good battle again between me and Seb. He did a good job in Q3. I'm on the front row - which is not a bad position to start from. It's a big credit to the team that we've locked out the front row again, after doing the same in Melbourne - it's very positive. Thanks to the mechanics too. There was stuff coming out last night for our cars that should never have got here with the volcano exploding in Europe. It wasn't easy for the team to arrange, so it was a great team effort. We're set for an interesting Grand Prix tomorrow - I'm looking forward to it."
Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "I have no idea where Sebastian produced that last lap from, it was quite phenomenal. Mark was in great shape throughout qualifying today and got pipped right at the end there. So, both cars at the front of the grid again for another Red Bull one two. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's race."
Fabrice Lom, Renault: "I'm very, very happy - it's the fourth pole in a row for Red Bull Renault at a very difficult track for the engine due to the long straight. We are ecstatic to be on the front row again - but its Sunday that counts, so we have to concentrate on tomorrow's race and try to score as we did in Malaysia."
Fernando Alonso (3rd, 1:34.913): "At the moment, I'd say this result is an accurate reflection of our qualifying potential. The Red Bulls seem unbeatable, but it's definitely not a surprise, because they are always strong on Saturday. I am happy with the way things went: third is a good place to start such a long race. We can do well and aim for a podium finish. Today, I was more comfortable on the hard tyres, as the soft ones were trickier to use. I am pleased with the benefits of the new aerodynamic package in terms of performance and it is thanks to these parts that I was able to take part in the press conference for the top three drivers. The team is working well, with a clear philosophy that it's in the race that the points are given out, not in qualifying. If it rains, a lot will depend on when the tyres will need to be changed: getting it right, along with making the best tyre choice, can bring you the win, but if you get it wrong, you could lose everything. It's hard to say where we are in terms of being competitive in the wet, because during winter testing, we were never all out on track under the same conditions and on the same fuel loads. However, in Australia, it went pretty well..."
Felipe Massa (7th, 1:35.180): "I'm a bit disappointed because I wasn't able to do a clean lap on my last run in Q3. Unfortunately, I made a mistake at the final corner which lost me at least a few tenths. Up to that point, I was in line for a lap that would have seen me into the top five, but when everyone is so close, it takes very little to find yourself dropping down the grid. It might rain tomorrow, so there's a chance it could shake up the order, but it is clear that starting seventh, it will be hard to fight for the top positions. In terms of race pace, we can hold our own, as was the case in yesterday's free practice: the soft tyres seem to degrade more than the hard but maybe with a bit more rubber on the track, the situation could improve. It will be very important to get a good start and make up some places immediately."
Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal: "Overall, we can be pleased with the way things went today. We knew the Red Bulls would be hard to beat in qualifying and that was the case, but Fernando, who did a great lap, managed to take third, which means he is in with a fighting chance tomorrow. A shame for Felipe, who did not manage to put together a perfect lap, which sees him relegated to the fourth row: in a championship in which at least four cars are all within a few tenths, it only takes a small error to find yourself in a position that does not match up to your potential. Tomorrow's race looks like being very hard to predict. In this early part of the season, we have seen that over a long run, the pace of the F10 is very competitive and we will try and make the most of this characteristic. Furthermore, the weather is forecast to take a turn for the worse and we will probably need to be ready to tackle what could be a wet race."
Chris Dyer: "A really great performance today from Fernando, who was able to get the most out of the car, putting himself in a strong position for tomorrow's race. Some disappointment for Felipe, who was not able to put together his best lap in Q3, but there is still every chance he can have a good race. There is a high possibility of rain playing its part tomorrow: even if we don't encounter the same extreme conditions as last year, it could definitely create some surprises and we must be ready to tackle every eventuality."
Rubens Barrichello (11th, 1:35.748): "Qualifying went ok for us; it was just a shame that we were pipped in the last minute of Q2. Everything is so close at the moment though and, if you think about it, that was our best qualifying for getting closer to the top. It was a great lap and I'm happy with what I did out there this afternoon."
Nico Hulkenberg (16th, 1:36.647): "We had a hard time in the practice sessions and P16 is obviously not what I was hoping for. My last lap wasn't perfect because I made a mistake in the last corner which cost me time. I think it will probably be wet for the race tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it."
Sam Michael, Technical Director: "Rubens did well in qualifying and unfortunately just missed out on a slot in the top ten. We had to fit a new engine on his car after this morning's practice so it was a good effort by the mechanics to get him out in time for qualifying. Nico's qualifying wasn't as good as he would have hoped for and he'll be analysing that tonight with his engineers. We tested a stalling rear wing on Rubens' car during the morning practice session, from which we collected some useful data, but it's early R&D at this stage so we have taken the decision not to race it this weekend."
Robert Kubica (8th, 1:35.364): "It was good qualifying session for me - probably my best performance this year from a driving point of view, and I was particularly pleased with my laps in Q3. If you had said to me yesterday I would start the race from eighth, I would have been happy, so it's a good result and puts us in a good position to score points in the race."
Vitaly Petrov (14th, 1:36.311): "I'm pleased with my performance, which is my best result from a dry qualifying session, even if my ultimate objective has to be to make it through to Q3 because Robert has shown this is what the car can do. Overall, things are going in the right direction for me: I'm improving my driving and getting more comfortable with the car all the time. I also need to say a big 'thank you' to my mechanics, who did a fantastic job to repair my car in time for qualifying after my accident in free practice."
Eric Boullier, Team Principal: "We were very pleased with the performance of the car, which shows the progress we continue to make as a team. Robert's eighth place is a good result and we are now between the two Mercedes in qualifying, and we can expect even better race pace. As for Vitaly, he did a good job to bounce back from his accident in free practice this morning, which is all part of the learning curve for a driver in only his fourth Grand Prix. He is pushing himself hard, as well as the car, and his performances are improving every weekend. He did well to qualify 14th, which was the strongest performance of the rookies."
Alan Permane, Chief Race Engineer: "It was a good session from both drivers with Robert solidly into Q3 and Vitaly doing well to qualify 14th. It was satisfying to get ahead of one of the Merecedes with Robert, and eighth is a good position from which to start the race. After Vitaly's crash this morning, the mechanics did a fantastic job to repair the car so that Vitaly could take part in qualifying. Overall, it was a good effort from the two drivers and we know that our car works better on high fuel, so we're well placed to aim for points with both Robert and Vitaly tomorrow. The weather forecast suggests we may get some rain for the race, but we're happy whether it's wet or dry."
Force India-Mercedes
Adrian Sutil (10th, 1:35.963): "Another Q3 qualifying performance for us, I think we can be very pleased with that. Again, it's P10 - I know this position very well from the last races in Australia and Bahrain! The car is behaving very well and we can be happy about the balance we have. It's a bit difficult in the mid sector though as the grip is missing a little bit so we have a touch of oversteer and it's hard to drive on the limit. However from the team's point of view we can look forward to the race tomorrow: I think our long runs were quite good on Friday."
Vitantonio Liuzzi (18th, 1:37.161): "We were fast in the morning and the car was reacting well to changes and seemed to have a good pace. Again, though, for the third time in four races I got caught in traffic, again with a Williams and an HRT. But that's how it is, it happens, we have to look at why and then work on this. Tomorrow I think we are in great shape for the race as the speed has been there when we were on the longer runs but when you start in 18th place it makes life much more difficult. We are still optimistic though and we keep pushing whatever happens."
Dominic Harlow, Chief Race Engineer: "We're very pleased to have another top ten qualifying with Adrian here, with some very good laps. It was still tricky with quite low grip and ultimately we felt that another position or two could have been within reach in Q3. Tonio was very unfortunate with traffic today in Qualifying, so couldn't actually put together a representative lap. It does seem to be a lottery sometimes early in the session given the pace difference between some of the cars. With the possibility of another change in the weather conditions tomorrow, we're confident of a very exciting race and we'll be looking to add to our points total."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Jaime Alguersuari (12th, 1:36.047): "We are getting closer to Q3 and I think we did a good job so far this weekend, especially as it's my first time at this track. I expect we can have a good race tomorrow, as the car works well over a distance, running consistently and we seem to have got it to work better than in Malaysia. We will have to wait and see what the weather brings, but I think I have a realistic chance of scoring points tomorrow, whether it is wet or dry, so I would prefer it if it does not rain."
Sebastien Buemi (13th, 1:36.149): "I had no problem with getting back in the car after what happened yesterday, although of course the lack of track time affected me. In any case the team did a good job to rebuild the car so that I could run trouble free today. To be honest, I was expecting to get a better grid position, but it's understandable when you don't drive on Friday. As for the race, we have gone for a compromise setting that should also work if the predicted rain arrives tomorrow. P13 is not too far away from the points, so let's wait and see what we can do."
Giorgio Ascanelli, Technical Director: "I don't like having all our eggs in one basket, so we split them, with one car anticipating rain tomorrow and one with a downforce level more suited for the dry. Guess which one was fastest today. Tomorrow we will see what happens! The team worked efficiently, making no mistakes. Both drivers did a good job and in Buemi's case, we could not have expected more from him, after he got no running yesterday. I'm glad we sorted out the problem on his car quickly, so I'd say that, overall, things are looking up!"
Jarno Trulli (20th, 1:39.399): "It was a shame because I think I could have gone quicker, but the strong wind played a part and it wasn't easy out there. It was a very gusty and I struggled a bit with that but having had three good practice sessions I'm expecting a better race tomorrow."
Heikki Kovalainen (21st, 1:39.520): "It was ok today but I couldn't quite get the perfect lap. The first two sectors were ok but just before the back straight I couldn't quite get the exit right and I think I lost about three tenths there. The wind has played its part today - in some braking zones at the back of the track there's a tailwind which unbalances the car, but the second to last corner is into a headwind and it felt really good under braking into there but it's no big deal - it's just one of those things! The race tomorrow will be better for sure. The car has felt good all weekend on heavy fuel so let's see what happens then."
Tony Fernandes, Team Principal: "First of all I'm just really pleased to be here in China! It was a very close shave - I think I was about an hour ahead of the airspace shut down and this is one of the races I've been really looking forward to coming to with the team. The spectacular growth of China over recent years is an inspiration to me and the whole Lotus Racing team - it shows how high we should be setting our sights and how we can reach the top by working hard to achieve your dreams. Seeing the fans' banners for us in the stands makes me very proud, and shows that Lotus Racing has a real significance for Chinese motorsport fans, who know a good thing when they see it!"
Mike Gascoyne, Technical Director: "It was the classic mixed bag today. We've been strong in practice and if it wasn't for Heikki's final sector we would have finished best of the new teams, but sometimes it doesn't go according to plan. We were satisfied with the setups on both cars and while it's been a bit disappointing I'm confident the work we put in throughout practice, on long runs with heavy fuel, will pay off for us tomorrow."
Bruno Senna (23rd, 1:40.469): "In the morning we found a good performance today and the car felt good. It was much more consistent and I felt more confidence. We have a good improvement from yesterday and we could make a good step forward. I could do some long runs in preparation for the race tomorrow. I went a bit wide on my quick lap in qualifying and lost some time. It is okay, maybe a bit frustrating because I know I could have done much better than this. I went slower than in my fastest lap in free practice 3 because there were some changes to the throttle response which made it difficult to drive. We have to test as we go along. With more knowledge gained, I am confident of a strong run in the race tomorrow."
Karun Chandhok (24th, 1:40.578): "We had some issues this morning which was a bit unfortunate. I left early in qualifying which was not bad for us as we could get closer to the other teams which is very encouraging for us. It will be a difficult race on a tricky circuit. The weather may be wet too and that will be our first race in rain. Whatever the conditions, we will make the best out of it."
Colin Kolles, Team Principal: "The reliability of the HRT car will be a deciding factor in tomorrow's battle and race. Let's see what the weather brings during the race tomorrow. All other teams had a winter with a lot of wet sessions. We do not know how competitive we can be in a wet race."
BMW Sauber-Ferrari
Kamui Kobayashi (15th, 1:36.422): "Personally I'm happy with the lap I put in. I had no traffic, did the best I could and think I achieved what was possible. We do have areas where we need to improve and we will improve. Overall we don't have enough grip yet, braking stability is not perfect and my car tends to understeer. I'm very much looking forward to tomorrow's race and I'mreally hungry for a grand prix finish again. The weather prediction says there is a good chance of rain. This would make for an exciting race. I generally like driving in the wet although visibility is always a problem."
Pedro de la Rosa (17th, 1:37.020): "My first attempt on the soft tyres in Q2 wasn't good from my side, but the last lap was very good until I made a mistake before turn 14. I locked the rear and it cost me almost half a second. Finishing two places higher up would have been realistic, but not a lot more. The car felt well balanced, so there is nothing to complain about. We did not use our new rear wing system in qualifying because we want to continue testing it."
James Key, Technical Director: "It was a tough and very close qualifying. Both drivers pushed as hard as they could. We knew we had to get a good lap out of the new tyres. It was also essential to get it all together in the traffic, which we managed to do. At the end there were probably a few more tenths possible. Unfortunately Pedro was putting in a very good lap and just missed out in the hairpin with a little bit of wheel locking, and Kamui maybe had a couple of tenths more to exploit as well. There was potential there to move up a few places, but we are still not in a position to get to Q3. It's very close, and let's see what the weather brings tomorrow. We are mid-grid and anything can happen."
Timo Glock (19th, 1:39.278): "It was a good Qualifying session and I am happy, despite only really having one clean shot. On the first set of tyres I had traffic with Rubens doing a slow in-lap, so that frustrated my first quick run. With a proper first run I think we could have improved even more for the second, but overall I'm pleased with the lap and it's important to be in front of Lotus again. I have to say that on Friday things were looking difficult for us here, but it has been a good demonstration of what the team is capable of. With the engineers we have been able to improve the car quite a lot overnight to make the car work better at this track and the mechanics did a nice job. So far our weekend has been trouble-free, so we will wait and see what possibilities tomorrow brings."
Lucas di Grassi (22nd, 1:39.783): "This was not a great qualifying session for me. The car behaved as expected and it was performing quite well. Reliability-wise we have also been very good. I was very quick on the first two sectors but made a mistake that cost me 3 or 4 tenths. As a result, I lost two or three positions on the grid. The important thing is to finish tomorrow's race as the best of the new teams again, so we will perform as well as possible and see what opportunities are there to take advantage of."
Nick Wirth, Technical Director: "Our improving reliability allowed both drivers to conduct some interesting and fruitful set-up work today in P3 and Qualifying. We elected to only do two runs in Q1 and Timo got blocked on his first run, so he did a good job to deliver a solid performance in his single lap. Lucas performed strongly today, so it was a shame that he lost time in his final sector as that would have been an impressive lap for a Shanghai rookie. Our performance today has been all the more satisfying as we haven't been able to introduce a planned aero upgrade as it is currently on the wrong side of the Icelandic volcano plume! All in all, we're looking forward to the race, rain or shine."


text: XSTAR is a command-driven computer program for calculating the physical conditions and emission spectra of photoionized gases. It may be applied in a wide variety of astrophysical contexts. Stripped to essentials, its job may be described simply: A spherical gas shell surrounding a central source of ionizing radiation absorbs some of this radiation and reradiates it in other portions of the spectrum; XSTAR computes the effects on the gas of absorbing this energy, and the spectrum of reradiated light. In many cases other sources (or sinks) of heat may exist, for example, mechanical compression or expansion, or cosmic ray scattering. XSTAR permits consideration of these effects as well. The user supplies the shape and strength of the incident continuum, the elemental abundances in the gas, its density or pressure, and its thickness; the code returns the ionization balance and temperature, opacity, and emitted line and continuum fluxes. The solution divides into several distinct parts: transfer of the incident radiation into the cloud; calculation of the temperature, ionization, and atomic level populations at each point in the cloud; and transfer of the emitted radiation out of the cloud. XSTAR v2 is written in standard fortran77, and has been tested on a variety of unix platforms

Accomplished water polo player Chase Borisoff admits there's nothing like getting the ball a few meters away from an opponent's goal, working for a shot and finally firing a laser that makes its way past a flailing goalkeeper and into the cage for a score.
"Everybody likes to score," said Borisoff, who just completed his senior season with the La Cañada High boys' team. "But there's a lot more to water polo than scoring."
There's probably not a truer statement that can be uttered that more encapsulates Borisoff's performance, and his worth to the Spartans, during the 2012 season than the words that came out of his own mouth.
When Borisoff wanted to, he could score goals in bunches, his powerful shot and pool savvy perfected by spending thousands of hours and nearly a decade toiling in a chlorine-induced environment that became his second home.
"Scoring goals gets you most of the glory and you definitely get noticed more when you're scoring a lot," Borisoff said. "But what I like more than that is setting up my teammates and giving them a chance, as well. When you make a good pass and your teammate gets a goal, it's nice to know that you set him up for that goal. It's kind of like operating behind the scenes."
Borisoff's worth to La Cañada proved to be infinitely more than how many times he could put goals on the scoreboard. On the offensive end, the senior was a master facilitator, continually looking for ways to work the ball to his teammates and getting them involved with pin-point passes. On defense, Borisoff was a ball hawk, hounding the opponent's best player and drawing ejections at a frenzied pace to give his team an added advantage.
"For the most part, Chase and I play on the same side," Spartans senior utility Symeon Stefan said. "It was really nice to have him there because he is very, very steady and I was completely confident that he was going to make the right decision, whether it was passing it to me or a teammate or taking it himself.
"What's great about Chase is that he seems to have the ability to make the right decision at the right time. When we were involved in a tight game, it was always comforting to know that we had someone like that on our side."
Borisoff's talents weren't lost on the coaches of the Rio Hondo League and the coaches in CIF Southern Section Division III. Along with being voted the Rio Hondo League co-Player of the Year, an award he shared with Stefan, he also was an All-CIF first-team selection.
In addition, the Spartans captured a league championship and advanced to the CIF division title contest for the first time in four years.
It is because of Borisoff's accomplishments that he has been named the 2012 All-Area Boys' Water Polo Player of the Year by the writers and editors of the Glendale News-Press, Burbank Leader, La Cañada Valley Sun and Pasadena Sun.
A glance at the numbers that Borisoff put up for the Spartans paint a picture of exactly how much of a well-rounded player he proved to be. The utility standout tallied 108 goals and dished out a remarkable 135 assists, as he had a hand in 243 of the team's goals. On the defensive end, he had 47 steals and 78 drawn ejections.
La Cañada's coach this season was Devon Borisoff, Chase's older brother and a standout All-American water polo player in his own right for the Spartans and later at USC. Devon said Chase emerged as the team's pool general and the senior was adept at making things happen.
"Chase really was our playmaker and just about everything went through him," said Devon, who was the All-Area Player of the Year in 2006. "He did the little things that we needed in the right spots. He didn't always have to score for us to be successful. He did a lot of things very well."
With five eventual All-CIF players on its roster — including Stefan, who tallied 142 goals and 52 steals — La Cañada battled to go 8-0 in the Rio Hondo League and nailed down the title. But it didn't come easily, as the Spartans just got by South Pasadena, 17-14, to secure the crown.
Than it was off to the Division III playoffs, where the Spartans (23-9) steamrolled through the first two rounds, defeating San Juan Hills, 17-7, in the opener and downing Corona Santiago, 19-7, in the quarterfinals. La Cañada then had to fight to win its semifinal contest, 11-8, against Palos Verdes to get to the title match
Unfortunately for the Spartans, their bid to capture the program's sixth CIF title fell short, as they were defeated by Martin Luther King, 14-9.
La Cañada won titles in 1979, '97, '99, '05 and '07
"It would have been nice to win a CIF title," Chase Borisoff said. "At La Cañada the expectation every year is to win a CIF title. But we fell a little short this year.
"At La Cañada, because of the history in water polo, there is an expectation every year to win a CIF championship. That was our goal every year I played in the program."
Although Borisoff leaves La Cañada without a coveted CIF championship, he looks back on his tenure at the school with fond memories.
Entering the program four years ago, the senior realized the high expectations and the scrutiny he would face throughout this career. But that's what comes with having the name Borisoff and competing in the La Cañada program. Along with Devon, Chase's other brother, Spencer, was a star player at the school as well. Both Devon and Spencer were high school All-Americans who earned All-CIF and all-league MVP accolades. The brothers also notched a CIF title apiece.
Instead of wilting under the pressure of the legacy left by this brothers, Chase thrived on it.
"Obviously, coming to La Cañada water polo, and especially being a Borisoff, I was expected to do a lot because of the accomplishments of my brothers who came before me," Chase said. "But that was pressure that I put on myself, to live up to those expectations. I just always wanted to succeed like I saw my brothers succeed. That's what really drove me.
"What ended up happening is that I became a much different player than they were. My brothers set the bar high and I was always trying my best to live up to the success that they had. It made me work that much harder. …Looking back, I really wouldn't have it any other way."

This is just cool.
Designed as a "personal size" camping trailer aimed at traveling salesmen, the Bowlus Papoose had the potential to revolutionize the industry, boasting such features as a gas-welded steel frame and a riveted aluminum skin. High production costs for Bowlus travel trailers led to high selling prices, however, and only six Papoose models were believed to have been built before the company folded. This weekend, the prototype Bowlus Papoose travel trailer heads to auction, giving bidders a chance to own a unique piece of American motoring history.

Changing to a Green Plan for Our Energy
When my husband and I were first able to choose the company that we wanted to provide us with our energy, we just stayed with the company that we had been using up until that time. I never thought about changing to another Texas electricity company until just recently. I understand that rates will go up with just about anything, but I was surprised when I looked at the rates and saw just how much they had went up in the last few years. I knew that we did have a choice, so I went online so I could see if all of the companies that provide energy to Texas residents had the same kind of increase.
When I did this, I learned that we had quite a few options that were better for us. It did help that we were going to be new customers and could take advantage of new customer deals, but I read beyond that so I could see what the prices would be like after the deals had expired for being new to the company. That is when I saw that the prices were much more reasonable for some of the companies.
It did help that I was able to read about some of the newer rate plans too. With each company, they are trying to bring in more customers who want green energy. I had never really considered it before for us until I started reading about all of the benefits of having a green plan. We would be helping the environment a good deal, but we would also be helping our bill too. I liked both aspects of getting on a green plan so I went ahead and made the change. Even when I have to pay the regular rates, it is going to be much better for our budget!

Tips for playing Baseball better through right swings and shots
In baseball, the bat is difficult by nature to handle. If we give more importance than it deserves these factors will batting impossible to carry out. By using the following tips and having a training sleeve players can improve baseball batting swing.
Simply, if you put the bat in the palm of your hand you reduce flexibility. At the other end, if you place yourself too much on the fingertips doing a very weak grip. Simply put, the bat placing in between the palm and fingertips, where you have the added convenience and flexibility.
Baseball and softball players, whether in Little League, Collegiate, or pro athletics, they can use the Call the Shot product to improve their swing.
Pressure that is exerted on the bat
There are two ends to exert pressure on the bat; which does not tighten the bat enough and it is too tight. Very few hitters who do not exert enough pressure to keep the bat in his hands, this occurs mostly in children's leagues. The most common problem occurs at the other end. Many are too tight batters bat.
Pressing the bat more than necessary tension begins in the hands, which is then passed to the arms, shoulders and torso. When the batter comes to realize, if you realize the whole body is tense and rigid. It is impossible to develop a good swing with Rigid body and lacks fluidity. Rely on your instincts. And let them tell you how much pressure you exert on the bat. The best example can be found hammering a nail. Surely not pull the hammer all the time. Simply press enough before contact with the nail so that the hammer does not get out of hand.
When performing a swing you use the same technique. the bat is held hands relaxed, and before making contact with the ball your instincts and tightening the right time and how much pressure you exert on it.
Proper position in the batter's box
Many players are recognized only to see the position they assume in the batting cage. All the best players have a particular stand in the batter's box position. But no matter cal is the initial position of each to start his bat on ball direction all arrive at a common position. This position to attack the ball is:
The majority of body weight holds the rear leg.
The front leg meets the foot barely touching the ground.
The tip of the front foot pointing inward.
Knees slightly bent.
The front shoulder inward.
Body hands apart about six or eight inches behind the rear shoulder.
The bat in a position of 45 degrees to the ground.
Jaw almost in line with the front shoulder.
In this position you must reach all batter. The common sense tells us that taking into account that this is the position that we must come and have only half a second to hit the ball so our starting position in the batter's box should be as close as possible to this position.
In short:
The correct starting position in the batter's box is as follows:
Legs aligned toward the pitcher.
The separation between the feet should be slightly more than the width of the shoulders.
The tips of both feet should be pointing toward the plate.
The weight should be tilted slightly forward on the forefoot.
The hands of a separate body six to eight inches.
Head in a position that allows seeing the ball with both eyes.
From this position the appropriate changes according the individual skills become. There are two essential elements in position to hit. First, it must be dresser and second, it must work. To have a consistent contact with the ball you can not have one without the other.
By having a training sleeve on the barrel of the bat, players can focus on hitting the ball in the sweet part of the bat resulting in an increase in better hits.

Here is how to increase your hits while playing Baseball
A baseball game is divided into nine periods of play, each one of which is called entrance or inning. The team scoring the most runs over nine innings wins the game. The game begins when a player named pitcher or pitcher throws ball toward the opposing team's hitter who tries to hit (hitting with the bat) the ball into the pitch. Players score runs hitting the ball and running around a series of bases, remove them before any player on the opposing team. Batters and runners can be removed in different ways.
Baseball is played on a level field, which usually occupies about 0.8 hectares. The field is divided into the infield and infield and outfield extra camp or; these two areas together constitute the fair territory, while the rest of the field is called bad area or foul.
The infield is a square shaped field called 'diamond' of 27 m square, one corner of which is marked by a piece of rubber, shaped irregular pentagon, called home plate or goal. Hitters, depending on your preferences, hit the ball from a position to the right side or left of the goal . In the other three corners of the internal field goal in moving from the direction opposite to the clockwise, are the first, second and third bases, each marked with a pillow.
The pitcher's mound (pitcher), a piece of slightly higher ground, is near the center of the internal field between the target and the second base and has a rubber band nailed on top of it, at a distance of 18, 4 m from the target; pitchers must have one foot in contact with the band when they put the ball in play.
The basic material of the sport includes a hard ball, bat wood or aluminum , a padded glove leather for each player, shoes heels and helmets for batters. Catchers receivers or wearing special protective equipment with a helmet, a mask, protective overalls padded chest and shin guards.
The baseball has a cork center wrapped with layers of rubber and rope, and is covered with pieces of leather that have been tied with force . A baseball measures about 23 cm in circumference. Bats are typically aluminum or wood elastic, such as ash, and maximum dimensions are 6.9 cm in diameter and 107 cm in length. Specific rules also describe the measure and construction of gloves, spiked shoes, batting helmets and other equipment of baseball.
A baseball team has nine players on the field, where each of them is responsible for a particular position. The pitcher puts the ball in play by throwing toward the goal. Every shot is called release. Holding the ball in a special way and adjusting effects, pitchers can run various pitches, combining these techniques with changes of speed on the releases, to make it harder hitters hit the ball. The receiver or catcher receives the ball and returns it to the pitcher unless the batter hit the ball before achieved. The receiver also supports the goal when a runner tries to score a run.
Hitters can use baseball batting aids to improve their swing and hit more runs.
Players first base, second base and third base are located in a base or close to it, while the shortstop is between second and third base. They are responsible to catch the ball when it is hit to the infield and infield or eliminate the runners when they try to move around the diamond. Three outfielders outdoors or individually placed in the right field, center field and left field, being responsible to catch the balls hit to the outfield.
While a team is in the field, the other makes his at bat: one player after another, according to a previously specified order. The rules vary slightly batting in the big leagues. In the National League, the pitcher also batter, while in the American League, a player named designated hitter, batting in place of the pitcher. The designated hitter, when no exchange of roles, does not take position on the pitch.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
Political Poems
Political poems are polemical works of art: arguments that use poetic rhythms, rhymes, and images to persuade readers.
Teachers may begin this exercise by asking students what images best evoke their communities at the present time. The teacher and students may then analyze these images, reflecting on how they point to specific community problems that call for change. For example, in teacher Cathie Wright-Lewis' class, students reflected on the way baggy clothing can indicate defiance for some. Students should be encouraged to think broadly about what their communities look like. They may consider fashion, advertisements, the way the sidewalks or streets look, what kinds of conversations occur in public, or how people greet each other or avoid contact. Students should then write down all the sensory impressions they can summon about the images they've chosen.
Next, teachers may ask students to analyze a political poem from another time period. Students can pick apart these poems, noting how the author's poetic strategies -- rhyme, line breaks, etc -- encourage readers to see the world in the way the author does. One way to help students recognize the effect of poetic strategies is to have them take turns reading the poem aloud; teachers may then ask students why they read the lines in a certain way, or how the poem's structure influenced their interpretation. Once the class has discussed how several poetic strategies can draw readers into a certain political perspective, students can begin to write their own persuasive poems. Teachers may want to divide the class into smaller groups for this portion of the project. In each group, students should compile the images they have discussed with the class and structure them according to the poetic techniques they think will best persuade readers of their political views. Students may choose to compose individual poems, or they may choose to write collectively. Next, the groups can read the poems out loud for the class.
As each student or student group reads a poem aloud, the teacher and the other students in the class should make notes about what aspects of the poem particularly impresses them. They can then share these notes with the student presenting his or her work. It's often valuable for teachers to ask students to respond to others' work with questions or "echoing" statements. For example, teachers may ask the students listening to tell the poet what they think he or she did well, or to tell the poet what he or she seemed to say. In this way, listening to poetry can be as active as writing it.
By asking students to analyze poems as arguments, students learn to recognize the ideological underpinnings of the poems they read. They also learn creative strategies -- such as rhyme, rhythm, and line breaks -- that help to express their ideas. Most importantly perhaps, this exercise gives students a means of articulating some of the issues that trouble them in their daily lives. Once students become comfortable discussing these issues in the classroom, they can begin to debate these issues in their own communities.
