Independent article.
iDoubt's blog.
JAW's response:
>I'm quite the stickler for getting facts correct. <
No, you're not. You're not a stickler at all. Two paragraphs from this opening statement you bitch about 'no citations'. The story you refer to was in the English 'Independent'. Mainstream newspapers, even relatively responsible papers like the Independent, are not in the habit of providing 'citations'. If you were a 'stickler for getting facts correct' you would contact the Independent, and get the sources used for the article instead of attacking research you, in fact, know nothing about. .
>There was a recent story out of London regarding new research that suggested the effect was again measured. Well, shut my mouth and call me skeptical, once again — I don't buy it. I take exception to the subtitle that says "At last, scientists claim to have found a link between our satellite and human behaviour"<
Nobody calls you 'skeptical'. You are a debunker. You have not read the research cited; you have not tried to acquire it – the simplest matter in the world, a phone call or email would get it for you. Yet there you are 'taking exception' when in fact you know nothing.
But you have good reason to respond to that article. When a paper as mainstream, un-New-
Agey and unsensationalistic as the Independent publishes a serious research-based article demonstrating lunar effect upon human behavior, it means that the atmosphere must be getting really hot, seriously hot, deep down under the rock where your Debunker Bunker is built.
>The news story mentions "recent" research but I haven't found the citations. (If someone has them, I'd appreciate the info.)
You haven't looked. If you're a 'stickler for getting facts correct' the first thing you do is look for the alleged facts instead of just shooting your mouth off while waiting for someone to provide you with them.
>I did find a plethora of studies that have examined lunar cycle. Here are a few attempted correlations:
post operative nausea and vomiting
patient falls
admissions for gastrointestinal bleeding
surgery quality – complications, pain perception
stock returns
requests for appointments to a thyroid clinic
broodmare fertility
seizure occurrences
assisted reproduction conception rates
along with the frequently cited connection with suicides, emergency calls, births, etc.
Here's the bottom line. For every positive correlation, you can find a negative one.< (my itals – jaw)
That's not a 'bottom line' at all; it's an asinine objection to begin with and actually, statistically, it furnishes conclusive proof of the validity of the effects of the moon.
If 50% of the studies undertaken provide positive results, that conclusion, (especially if subjected to Bayesian analysis) amounts to overwhelming proof of the validity of a lunar effect. Got it? No, silly question. Of course you don't.
>Color me doubtful because researchers have a lot more 'splaining to do before I'm convinced.
This is an insistent and tiresome refrain\ 'If they want to convince skeptics…' Debunkers seem to think that those of us who oppose them want to 'convince' them. We don't. Nobody really gives a damn what you think.
We recognize that you are psychically, emotionally and spiritually diseased and probably incurable (short of experiencing an NLE – Near Life Experience).
Through a combination of solid scientific evidence, argument and ridicule we want to prevent you from spreading even further your grotesque materialistic doctrine of meaninglessness, emptiness and despair (all in the name of 'Reason' and 'Science' of course).
In short, we want to put you to sleep (not physically of course, though I confess that would not disturb me, personally) as humanely as possible, just as we do with rabid dogs. We don't want to 'convince' you about anything; we know that is impossible; we just want to prevent you from infecting everyone else. Comprende?

Box Score
Morgantown, W. Va. – The Ohio State women's soccer team (13-4-3) defeated the University of Dayton (14-6-2) by a 3-0 score in the opening round of the NCAA tournament Friday at the Mountaineer Soccer Complex in Morgantown, W. Va. The Buckeyes made a 2-0 halftime advantage stand and tacked on a third score in the second half as Ohio State claimed its first NCAA tournament victory in the 10-year history of the program.
Ohio State head coach Lori Walker expressed what this landmark win means to her program.
"This win is a culmination of goals we set for ourselves nine months ago in preseason training," Walker said. "That was one of the best performances from this team all season. A win in the NCAA tournament is something this program has never accomplished. To reach that accomplishment in the same season we celebrate 10 seasons of women's soccer is very significant for our program."
Ohio State controlled play throughout the match as the Buckeyes tripled Dayton's output in the shots on goal department by a 12-4 figure. Ohio State dominated the first period, firing four shots at the UD net in the first 20 minutes, but were turned away on each occasion until junior Kathy Fulk (Dublin, Ohio) unleashed a strike from nearly 25 yards out that sailed over the head of UD keeper Sarah West and into the center of the Flyer net to put the Buckeyes 1-0 at the 17:26 mark of the first half. The unassisted tally served as Fulk's fifth goal and second game-winner this season.
The Buckeyes boosted their advantage with a late goal just seven seconds before intermission as fellow junior Liz Mumley (Woodbridge, Va.) also connected on a long strike. Mumley fired from just outside the 18-yard box and beat West to the left side to up the OSU advantage to 2-0. The goal is Mumley's fourth of the season. In the second stanza, Fulk narrowly missed pushing the OSU advantage to 3-0 with a crossing shot from the left side of the 6-yard box that glanced off the right post with a shade more than 20 minutes remaining. She followed just moments later with her third shot on goal of the game but was denied by West. For the match, both Fulk and Mumley each accounted for four shots and three shots on goal.
The Buckeyes also used a late second half goal to seal the victory as junior Jen Heaney (Cincinnati, Ohio), who also serves as a reserve goalkeeper, scored her fist career goal from just outside the 6-yard box to set the final score at 3-0.
Ohio State goalkeeper Emily Haynam (Jr., Westerville, Ohio) improved to 5-1-2 on the season and helped the Buckeyes notch their ninth shutout on the year with four saves, including a tough lateral save with less than two minutes left to preserve the blanking. The nine shutouts in 2003 ties an Ohio State all-time mark for shutouts in a single season.
The Buckeyes, who improve 6-1 all-time vs. Dayton, will face host and No. 6-seed West Virginia Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Mountaineer Soccer Complex. WVU defeated Loyola (Md.) Friday night 3-1. The Buckeyes and Mountaineers have met on four previous occasions, with Ohio State claiming victory in three of the four matches.

Western Digital VelociRaptor 600GB Review - Can the king return?
Old school VelociRaptor logo (from 2 years ago!)
This new unit doubles the capacity of its predecessor, as well as doubling the interface throughput. Most of its other specs remain the same, as well as its physical appearance:
The new and improved VelociRaptor!
Unlike the early version of the original VR 300, the new model will initially ship with the 2nd gen IcePack.
Here we see the SATA data and power connectors are in the standard location for 3.5" drives.
This enables hot-swaps with standard 3.5" enclosures.
While Western Digital intends to sell the new VelociRaptor without the IcePack cooler, removal of the 2.5" unit that was mated to the IcePack at the factory will void your warranty.
This new drive is meant to handle heavy enterprise-level mixed read and writes, which may include single sector writes. It therefore does not incorporate Advanced Format, as that would add unnecessary overhead to that type of random access.
superb your products...
Great device. Western Digital is always on the top.

CPRS- Comprehensive Payment Recovery Service
CPRS has been in business 25 years. We have recently made over our brand and are ready to INTRODUCE OURSELVES, with a new image to prospective clients. CPRS is an accounting company that provides audit recovery services. We are true forensic accountants. CPRS examines the entire transaction life cycle to find money that is truly due to our clients. Our tagline is "Talent enhanced by Technology." We are about true talent, unparalleled customer service, real partnerships and solid results in recoveries and process improvements.
We are targeting accounts payable professionals at the managerial level and higher. A/P professionals are known for being exacting in nature and are highly diligent workers. Given that most AP professionals already have a recovery auditor in place, CPRS needs to sufficiently differentiate ourselves in order to entice that business away. We need to stick out but in a strong, professional and interesting way.
Our trade show theme is, "IT'S COMPLICATED, WE MAKE IT SIMPLE." This theme is to inspire the graphic design but NOT ACTUALLY BE WRITTEN OUT. As a result, I am actually requesting 2 graphics. The main graphic is the "It's Complicated" inspired one, the second one is it's simplified version illustrating, "We make it simple." Make sure the graphics will complement our modern booth (picture attached).
This is 1 of 2 contests I am running for this trade show and theme. For this design, I want it to be WORD oriented. Your graphics should:
1. Delineate our services (Attached Service File)
2. Make our name & logo stick out (attached)
3. Imprint our tagline, "Talent Enhanced by Technology" into minds.
Graphics should follow these guidelines:
1. Be artistic, no standard checklist delineating our services.
2. Delineate these services (Attached) The # of stars illustrates which services need to be emphasized. Emphasize however you want, as creatively as you can- use size, font, position, color, etc
3. Ensure our name & logo is shown.
4. Include our Tagline
5. Show me 2 versions- Complicated & Simplified - > The simplified version should show just the company name/logo and tagline...with all the services either faded into the background or erased.
Attached are word oriented graphics I am inspired by:
Have fun!

I just take a quick look at the playoff picture on NFL.com. We all know that probably 5 of the 6 spots are talen (49ers, Packers, Bears, Giants and Falcons).
We are in a group of 5 for the last spots with: Vikes, Lions, Bucs and Cards.
Out of all the teams, I believe that we have the easiest schedule compare to the talent that we have on our team.
Here are the schedules for each of the team.
Seahawks: vs. Jets (3-5), at Dolphins (4-4), at Bears (7-1), vs. Cardinals (4-5), at Bills (3-5), vs. 49ers (6-2), vs. Rams (3-5)
Vikes: vs. Lions (4-4), at Bears (7-1), at Packers (6-3), vs. Bears (7-1), at Rams (3-5), at Texans (7-1), vs. Packers (6-3)
Lions: at Vikings (5-4), vs. Packers (6-3), vs. Texans (7-1), vs. Colts (5-3), at Packers (6-3), at Cardinals (4-5), vs. Falcons (8-0), vs. Bears (7-1)
Bucs: vs. Chargers (4-4), at Panthers (1-6), vs. Falcons (8-0), at Broncos (5-3), vs. Eagles (3-4), at Saints (2-5), vs. Rams (3-5), at Falcons (8-0)
Cards: at Falcons (8-0), vs. Rams (3-5), at Jets (3-5), at Seahawks (5-4), vs. Lions (4-4), vs. Bears (7-1), at 49ers (6-2)
With the schedule of the Vikes and Lions I count them out. For the Cards it will surprised me a lot if they can pull it back together. And for the Bucs facing twice the Falcons and once the Broncos could hurt them.
I believe that we are a good contender for the last spot if we finish with a record of 9-7.
What do you guys think?

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 1 DVD Overview
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season searches for one of its assets, Dr. Franklin Hall, who was kidnapped by Ian Quinn when Quinn's soldiers used a gravity-based weapon on the S.H.I.E.L.D. convoy that was transporting Hall. Quinn wants to use Hall to take control over the planet's gravity by building a giant "gravitonium" generator. Heading to Malta with the team, Skye volunteers to infiltrate Quinn's mansion during his party so that Coulson and Ward can rescue Hall. Skye tricks Quinn into believing she is betraying S.H.I.E.L.D. for the Rising Tide. However, Coulson soon discovers that Hall perpetrated his own escape in order to find the "gravitonium" and the generator and destroy both. Coulson warns him that doing so would end up killing millions. Their violent disagreement forces Coulson not to save Hall from falling into the middle of the generator,Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season seemingly vaporizing him. Coulson orders that the gravitonium be placed under S.H.I.E.L.D. high security and off the books, however, S.H.I.E.L.D. does not notice that Hall is still somehow alive but trapped within the gravitonium.

Cheers, boos, and interesting conversations echoed from an energized and diverse crowd of students at last night's Super Tuesday Party in the Spark Center's Great Hall.
More than 70 students from different houses, dorms, class years, and political persuasions gathered together to watch the Democratic and Republican primary and caucus election results.
The Super Tuesday Party was sponsored by the Political Science Society, the Thomas Riley Marshall College Democrats, and the Will Hays College Republicans. The event served as both a callout meeting for the Political Science Society as well as a sign-up session for its networking trip to the GOP and Democratic Headquarters in Indianapolis on February 21. Those who wanted to sign up could RSVP via Wabash Works on a laptop provided at a nearby table.
"The idea came from the College Democrats," said Brent Kent '08, Chairman of the College Republicans and member of the Political Science Society. "They wanted to throw an event just for the Republicans and the Democrats. We decided to make it a little bigger, and to use it to promote the Political Science Society to get more members. I'm very satisfied with the turnout, very surprised by the turnout. I'm also happy some professors showed up."
Attendees ate grilled hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, and soda as election results tickered in on the flat screen TV, bearing coverage from MSNBC, and the wall projector through which live coverage from CNN streamed.
As news outlets began projecting winners, students reacted passionately.
When MSNBC declared New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton the winner in Arkansas, Tennessee, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey, a table stacked with Clinton supporters cheered and pounded their enthusiasm at the result to counter the boos coming from other tables.
Sophomore Wes Williams from College Hall was one of the students cheering for Senator Clinton.
"I support Hillary Clinton because I think she's the most qualified person to get our country where it needs to be on day one," Williams said confidently. "I think this election is going to be a changing point in the way the United States is going. So it's really important for people to pay attention and to understand who they're voting for and what they represent."
While all viable candidates, with the exception of Romney, had vocal supporters Tuesday night, students supporting Arizona Senator John McCain clearly won the night.
"I'd like to see McCain win the nomination and for the Republicans," said sophomore Steve Zajac, who said he could also support Illinois Senator Barack Obama. "With McCain, he's more moderate than Romney, and I like that. I also am not comfortable with a Mormon president."
Senator McCain won the most states of all Republican candidates. The volume and intensity of his support in the Sparks Center was exponential, extending beyond tables and clusters of people.
"The clapping is for John McCain for winning New Jersey and Connecticut," said sophomore Nicholas Maraman from Morris Hall. "I believe that he's the man to lead America. I like his history. I like his service in the Navy during Vietnam, and I like his maverick attitude."
Faculty members were gleeful at the sight of such student fervor and engagement about politics and the future of the country.
"I think it's a great event because it gets students energized about politics and gets them out to follow the returns," said Professor of Political Science Melissa Butler. "A big and important thing is the energy that's coming out this year. The huge turnout in the primaries. We've always said young people don't vote. This time [they] are voting. I think that bodes well long-term. Because once people start voting they vote habitually. I think this energy is good for American politics."

Politically, not much has changed. Harry Reid still wields an inexplicable* position of influence over the Senate, and Obama still holds the presidency. Absent a surprise intervention by the Supreme Court on the Yucca licensing issue or a sudden change of heart by the residents of Nevada outside of Nye county (the potential host of Yucca Mountain, and generally more supportive overall of the project, namely because of the perceived benefits in terms of high-paying jobs and local investment which generally balance out perceived risks), it is unlikely anything much is going to happen.
(*One of my students in my Nuclear Waste Management class asked me how Harry Reid managed to ascend to such a position of influence from what is otherwise an inconsequential state - to which I had to answer, "I don't know, it is beyond the scope of this class." I really don't have a good answer for this one.)
As an aside, relevant to this discussion is an interview in this month's Nuclear News with Chairwoman Allison MacFarlane:
Q: Do you have technical concerns about a repository at Yucca Mountain, such as the rock form or the possibility of contact with an aquifer?(Emphasis mine.)
Let me explain. The technical analysis that I did on Yucca Mountain was in the pre-2002 time frame. Since then, in 2008, the Department of Energy submitted a license application. Then the NRC did some technical analysis. I haven't looked at either of those. So I haven't updated myself on the technical situation or on any new information that's come in within the last 10 years. And so, as a careful scientist, I would hold off on making any judgment.
On one hand, as a fellow scientist, I appreciate Dr. MacFarlane's reticence toward commenting on a technical issue which she herself recognizes that she is not current on. On the other hand, it is somewhat distressing that the chairwoman of the NRC would not deign to familiarize herself with those very same findings. (I realize that Dr. MacFarlane obviously has a very full agenda, but nonetheless given that her specialty with geologic disposal of nuclear wastes was one of her core competencies given for her nomination to head the agency, the fact that she has been an extremely outspoken critic of Yucca Mountain, and the fact that this is a timely and controversial topic facing her agency, one would think that she might find the time for a bit of... "light weekend reading...")
Process matters
By this point, your response is probably something along the lines of, "Thanks for the update on News of the Obvious." But to be honest, it seems like a great many people haven't seemed to get the memo yet. Following a discussion on Jim Conca's recent Forbes piece featuring WIPP (the Waste Isolation Pilot Project in Carlsbad, NM, which is responsible for handling military-origin transuranic wastes to be buried deep in salt bed caverns), the question was inevitably asked - "If WIPP is working, why can't Yucca Mountain?"
Herein lies the problem. Debates over the technical details of Yucca aside (details which have been exhaustively studied for nearly two decades), it was never about technical feasibility. One of the most salient arguments I have tried to convey upon my students (and anyone else unfortunate enough to be caught within earshot) is that process matters. Again and again this has been emphasized - by myself and by the findings of the Blue Ribbon Commission themselves. (As well as by social science experts - see for example, this decent op-ed by Chris Mooney on science communication right around the time Yucca faced the axe.)
WIPP worked namely because WIPP made sure to do the process right. From the start, WIPP focused on public engagement and local consent - trying to build understanding and consensus before they broke ground. And to that end, they've been remarkably successful. WIPP enjoys extremely high levels of support from the local Carlsbad community, largely in part due to the influx of high-paying jobs it has brought an otherwise very rural economy. And by committing to transparency and public oversight from the start, the WIPP project managed to soften much of the opposition which may have otherwise doomed such a project - namely because the public felt like both they had a say and that the process was fair and trustworthy. (Mind you, it is unlikely one will ever gain complete consensus - namely because there are some who persist in asserting that nuclear waste is an "unsolvable" problem and frankly have no interest in solving it...)
But far too often in the technical community, there is an attitude that this process can be circumvented. "Who cares what the unwashed masses think? We're right and they're not" - a fine ethos for a dictatorship run by scientists and engineers, a recipe for repeated and painful failure in a democracy. This is the attitude that I see prevailing each and every time I hear someone hammer on why we need to keep pushing on Yucca Mountain - either by forcing a showdown on the licensing process or some other means. And let me reiterate - on a technical basis, I think Yucca Mountain is a sufficient (not ideal, namely because it consigns otherwise recoverable resources to waste, but sufficient) solution.
Here's the problem - it's off the table. There is about a snowball's chance in hell of any of the following factors aligning to rescue Yucca Mountain right now: Chairwoman MacFarlane rescuing the Yucca Mountain license (previously withdrawn with prejudice by Secretary Chu), a sudden reversal in position by President Obama, an intervention by the Supreme Court to finish the Yucca Mountain licensing evaluation, a marked shift of opinion in the state of Nevada, or the sudden departure of Sen. Harry Reid.
Like it or not, the political deck has been stacked against Yucca. Perhaps why it's so hard for technical folks to accept is because of this - it's a victory of politics over science - and unabashedly so. But even assuming Yucca were never to have been derailed by an opportunistic president looking to make a deal with an influential senator, the problems at the core still remain - a process built on a foundation of rolling over state-level consent. It is hardly believable that the opposition which has escalated through the courts up until the 2010 would suddenly evaporate upon Yucca's grand opening. Instead, it is far more likely that another decade of contentious (and expensive) lawsuits would have followed, bankrolled (in somewhat ironic fashion) by the same funds legally obligated to the state of Nevada for hosting the repository by the Nuclear Waste Policy Act.
$8 billion and all I got was this lousy blog post
Hence my point of emphasis to folks still pushing Yucca Mountain: he's dead, Jim. Let this one go and start thinking about what to do right now while we begin the process again, this time hopefully learning something from our $8 billion lesson.
The sunk cost is perhaps what is hard for most to accept, particularly in the nuclear community. $8 billion is a high price to pay for learning to respect the process of siting a repository in equal measure to the level of technical effort that went into it. But again, this is where the hard-nosed realism of technical folks must prevail - what do you hope to do now? Wishing for a more favorable political situation won't bring back your $8 billion or put a single fuel assembly into the ground. Instead, it's going to require a hard gut check and some long thinking about where we go from here.
So what now?Let me quote now from wisdom of the Bard Jagger:
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes, you just might find
You get what you need
Meanwhile, the main upshot of such a move to interim storage is that it provides a workable solution for the time being until the process of siting a repository can be restarted (which it inevitably must be). This something both recommended by the BRC and is now being proposed by outgoing Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM). Whether it or not it goes anywhere in Congress is anyone's guess (although it will likely and unfortunately be eclipsed by much of the talk of the coming "fiscal cliff.")
My own feelings on interim storage have evolved somewhat over the years; it was not long ago that I was critical of such a strategy, namely because it felt like "kicking the can down the road" to future generations. But here's the rub - as much as I generally favor strategies like reprocessing on the grounds of energy recovery, as far as economics go, it simply can't compete with the cost of mining new uranium, even with the repository cost tacked on - and the requisite technologies like fast-spectrum reactors which can effectively transmute and fission long-lived actinides (thermal spectrum, "light water" reactors like those we run now aren't particularly efficient at this) - simply aren't here yet. In that sense, absent the infrastructure to reprocess and effectively burn all of the long-lived constituents of used fuel (not just plutonium), it may just make sense to let it sit around for awhile under well-monitored conditions. Even assuming technology never progresses forward, the end result is a cooler, less radioactive fuel that is less expensive to dispose of. (It is one of the few problems in life that manages to get cheaper the longer you wait.)
Such a position doesn't necessarily sit perfectly with me - as a technical person, I have a bias toward action. (Which of course would be why my research focuses on advanced waste management and recovery strategies). But such a solution is certainly better than a complete failure of the federal government to meet its obligations to ratepayers (i.e., consumers of nuclear electricity) who have paid $30 billion over the last two decades to handle this problem, only to be met with nothing to show for it.
Siting even an interim storage for used fuel won't be trivial - it will likely run into some of the same political challenges Yucca Mountain has faced, if the fate of the proposed Private Fuel Storage facility in Utah is any indication. (PFS has negotiated with a Native American tribe - the Skull Valley Band of the Goshute Tribe - to host such a facility. Despite the fact that the facility is on tribal lands, the state of Utah has attempted to do everything in its power to block the proposed facility - namely by denying rail and road access.) But it may serve as a useful trial run for getting the process right when it comes to the "real thing," i.e., siting a permanent geologic repository.
On a final note, I will be supervising my students' end of semester projects this evening. The task I assigned them was to propose an amendment to the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, taking into account the failures of U.S. high-level waste management policy (including a technical analysis of their proposed alternatives compared to the "baseline" scenario). It should be interesting to see what they come up with.

Those last 2 weeks, I finally found time to give Tableau 5.0. Tableau enjoys a stellar reputation among the data visualization community. About a year ago, I saw a live demo of Tableau by CEO and salesman extraordinaire Christian Chabot. Like most of the audience, I was very impressed, not so much by the capacities of the software but by the ease and speed with which insightful analysis seemed to appear out of bland data. But what does it feel on from the user perspective?
Chartz: ur doing it wrong
Everyone who wrote about charts would pretty much agree that the very first step in making one is to decide what to show. The form of the display is a consequence of this choice.
Most software got this wrong. They will ask you how you want your display to look like, then ask you for your data. Take this screenshot from Excel:
When you want to insert a chart, you must first choose what kind of chart (bar, line, column, pie, area, scatter, other charts) and one of its sub-types. You are not asked, what data does this apply to, and what that data really is. You are not asked, what you are trying to show through your chart – this is something you have to manage outside of the software. You just choose a chart.
I'm picking Excel because with 200m users, everyone will know what I'm talking about, but virtually all software packages ask the user to choose a rather rigid chart type as a prerequisite to seeing anything, despite overwhelming theoretic evidence that this approach is flawed. In Excel, like in many other packages, there is a world of difference between a bar chart and a column chart. They are not of the same nature.
A reverted perspective
Fortunately, Tableau does it the other way round. When you first connect with your data in Tableau, it distinguishes two types of variables you can play with: dimensions and measures. And measures can be continuous or discrete.
(This is from an example file).
Then, all you have to do is to drag your dimensions and your measures to the center space to see stuff happening. Let's drag "close" to the rows…
We already see something, which is not terribly useful but still. Now if we drag Date into the columns…
Instant line chart! the software found out that this is the type of representation that made the most sense in this context. You're trying to plot continuous variables over time, so it's pretty much a textbook answer. Let's suppose we want another display: we can click on the aptly name "show me!" button, and:
These are all the possible representations we have. Some are greyed out, because they don't make sense in this context. For instance, you need to have dimensions with geographic attributes to plot things on a map (bottom left). But if you mouse over one of those greyed out icons, you'll be told why you can't use them. So we could choose anything: a table, a bar chart, etc.
A simple thing to do would be to switch rows and columns. What if we wanted to see date vertically and the close horizontally? Just drag and drop, and:
Crafting displays
Gone are the frontiers between artificial "chart types". We're no longer forcing data into preset representations, rather, we assign variables (or their automatic aggregation, more on that shortly) to possible attributes of the graph. Rows and columns are two, which shouldn't be taken too literally – in most displays, those would be better described as abcissa and ordinate – but all the areas in light grey (called "shelves") can welcome variables : pages, filters,path, text, color, size, level of detail, etc.
Here's an example with a more complex dataset. Here, we're looking at sales figures. We're plotting profit against sales. The size of the marks correspond to the volume of the order, and the colour, to their category. Results are presented year by year. It is possible to loop through the years. So this display replicates the specs of the popular Trendalyzer / Motion chart tool, only simpler to set up.
Note that as I drag variables to shelves, Tableau often uses an aggregation that it thinks makes more sense. For instance, as I dragged Order Date to the page shelf, Tableau picked the year part of the date. I could ask the program to use every value of the date, the display will be almost empty but there would be a screen for each day. Likewise, when I dragged Order Quantity to the Size shelf, Tableau chose to use the sum of Order Quantity instead. Not that it makes much of a difference here, as each bubble represents only one order. But the idea is that Tableau will automatically aggregate data in a way that makes sense to display, and that this can always be overridden.
But if I keep the data for all the years in the display, I can quickly see the transactions where profit was negative.
And I can further investigate on this set of values.
So that's the whole idea. Because you can assign any variable to any attribute of the visualization, in the Tableau example gallery you can see some very unusual examples of displays.
Using my own data
When I saw the demos, I was a little skeptical of the data being used. I mean, things were going so smoothly, evidence seemed to be jumping at the analyst, begging to be noticed. Tableau's not bad at connecting with data of all forms and shapes, so I gave it a whirl with my own data.
Like a lot of other official data providers, OECD's format of choice for exporting data is SDMX, a flavor of XML. Unfortunately, Tableau can't read that. So the next easiest thing for me was Excel.
I'm not going to get too much into details, but to come up with a worksheet that Tableau liked with more than a few tidbits of data required some tweaking and some guessing. The best way seems to be: a column for each variable, dimensions and dates included, and don't include missing data (which we usually represent by ".." or by another similar symbol).
Some variables weren't automatically reckognized for what they were: some were detected as dimensions when they were measures, date data wasn't processed that well (I found that using 01/01/2009 instead of 2009 or 1/2009 worked much better). But again, that was nothing that a little bit of tweaking couldn't overcome.
On a few occasions, I have been scratching my head quite hard as I was trying to understand why I could get Y-o-Y growth rates for some variables, but not for some others, or to make custom calculated fields. Note that there are plenty of online training videos on the website. I found myself climbing the learning curve very fast (and have heard similar statements of recent users who quickly felt empowered) but am aware that practice is needed to become a Tableau Jedi. What I found recomforting is that without prior knowledge of the product, but with exposure to data design best practices, almost everything in Tableau seems logical and simple.
But anyway – I was in. Here's my first Tableau dashboard:
A Dashboard is a combination of several displays (sheets) on one space. And believe me, it can become really sophisticated, but here let's keep it simple. The top half is a map of the world with bubbles sized after the 2007 population of OECD countries. The bottom half is the same information as a bar chart, with a twist: the colour corresponds to the population change in the last 10 years. So USA (green) have been gaining population while Hungary has seen its numbers decrease.
I've created an action called "highlighting on country" to link both displays. The best feature of these actions is that they are completely optional, so if you don't want to have linked displays, it is entirely up to you and each part of the dashboard can behave independantly. You can also bring controls to filter or animate data which I left out for the sake of simplicity. However, you can still select data points directly to highlihght them in both displays, like this:
Here I've highlighted the top 5 countries. The other ones are muted in both displays. Here my colour choice is unfortunate because Japan and Germany, which are selected, don't look too different from the other countries. Now I can select the values for the countries of Europe:
And you'll see them highlighted in the bottom pane.
Display and style
Representing data in Tableau feels like flipping the pages of a Stephen Few book, which is more than coincidiential as he is an advisor to Tableau. From my discussion with the Tableau consultant that called me, I take that Tableau takes pride in their sober look and feel, which fervently follows the recommendation of Tufte, and Few. I remember a few posts from Stephen's blog where he lashed as business intelligence vendors for their vacuous pursuit of glossiness over clarity and usefulness. Speaking of Few, I've upgraded my Tableau trial by re-reading his previous book, Information Dashboard Design, and I could really see where his philosophy and that of Tableau clicked.
So there isn't anything glossy about Tableau. Yet the interface is state-of-the-art (no more, no less). Anyone who've used a PC in the past 10 years can use it without much guessing. Colours of the various screen elements are carefully chosen and command placement makes sense. Most commands are accessible in contextual menus, so you really feel that you are directly manipulating data the whole time.
When attempting to create sophisticated dashboards, I found that it was difficult to make many elements fit on one page, as the white space surrounding all elements becomes incompressible. I tried to replicate displays that I had made or that I had seen around, I was often successful (see motion chart reproduction above) but sometimes I couldn't achieve the level of customization that I had with visualizations which are coded from scratch in Tableau. Then again even Tableau's simplest representations have many features and would be difficult to re-code.
Sharing data
According to Dan Jewett, VP of product development at Tableau,
"Today it is easier to put videos on the Web than to put data online."
But my job is precisely to communicate data, so I'm quite looking forward this state of affairs to change. Tableau's answer is twofold.
The first half is Tableau Server. Tableau Server is a software that organizes Tableau workbooks for a community so they can access it online, from a browser. My feeling is that Tableau Server is designed to distribute dashboards within an organization, less so with the anyone on the internet.
That's where the second part of the answer, Tableau Public, comes into play. Tableau Public is still in closed beta, but the principle is that users would have a free desktop applications which can do everything that Tableau Desktop does, except saving files locally. Instead, workbooks would have to be published on Tableau servers for the world to see.
There are already quite a few dashboards made by Tableau Public first users around. See for instance How Long Does It Take To Build A Technology Empire? on one of the WSJ blogs.
Today, there is no shortage of tools that let users embed data online without technical manipulations. But as of today, there is no product that could come close to this embedded dashboard. Stephen McDaniel from Freakalytics notes that due to Tableau's technical choices (javascript instead of flash), dashboards from Tableau Public can be seen in a variety of devices, including the iPhone.
I've made a few dashboards that I'd be happy to share with the world through Tableau Public.
This wraps up my Tableau review. I can see why the product has such an enthusiastic fan base. People such as Jorge Camoes, Stephen Few, Robert Kosara, Garr Reynolds, Nathan Yau, and even the Federal CIO Vivek Kundra have all professed their loved for the product. The Tableau Customer Conference, which I've only been able to follow online so far, seems to be more interesting each year. Beyond testimonies, the gallery of examples (again at http://www.tableausoftware.com/learning/examples, but do explore from there to see videos and white papers), still in the making, shows the incredible potential of the software.

May everyone's wishes come true. Hikoboshi casually greets Orihime in English.
#七夕 (Tanabata, the Star Festival) takes place at different times depending on where you are in Japan, but July 7 is the first major date. It's a holiday for making wishes and celebrating the once-a-year reunion of legendary separated lovers Hikoboshi and Orihime. The accompanying decorations make for great tweets, but the concise format (and this tool that allows your text to mimic the shape of a traditional paper tanzaku) is also perfect for sharing wishes.

Write your wish on a tanzaku.
Some people expressed personal aspirations or concerns:
"I wanna be a hottie."
"May I become fluent in Japanese."
"May my smartphone not break until I can buy a new one."
"I want friends."
Some looked outward:
"World peace."
"May black kigyo go under."
"May I be able to repay many favors."
One person wrote a wish for the manga character Detective Conan, and one, instead of wishing, realized that he hadn't done anything Tanabata-ish at all.

Emnes makes Swansea return from Boro
Swansea City have announced the loan signing of Middlesbrough forward Marvin Emnes, subject to approval.
The 25-year-old will join the Welsh club until the end of the season and is eligible to represent Swansea in the UEFA Europa League if needed.
Emnes has previously played for Swansea, spending a month on loan at the club in October 2010.
He made five appearances in that stay, scoring twice, including the winner in a south Wales derby against Cardiff City.
"Marvin Emnes is set to return to Swansea City after agreeing a loan deal from Middlesbrough that is now subject to Premier League and international clearance," a statement on Swansea's website read.
Emnes has made 24 appearances for Middlesbrough this season, scoring one goal.
The Netherlands attacker has played 160 times for Middlesbrough since joining from Sparta Rotterdam in July 2008.

Cookie Van Dough necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 250 diseños de 47 diseñadores freelance.
Cookie Van Dough
Cookie Van Dough makes designer cookies for all occasions. We bake sugar cookies in almost any shape you can think of and decorate them with royal icing in vibrant colors.
We would like an attractive, perhaps witty logo. "Van Dough" is a play on the name "Van Gogh", the famous artist. The owner is a young, tattooed, pink-haired woman who doesn't fit the mold of the traditional baker or caterer.
Here are some recent photos from the kitchen: http://cid-8d4eff7781ee4d1a.skydriv…ieVanDough
Our target audience would largely consist of women. Our customers are typically mothers or young women who buy our cookies for birthday parties, weddings, baby or wedding showers and other parties. We also do corporate events. The people who buy our cookies are usually looking for a creative alternative to the typical party favor and consider themselves unique and creative.
We do not have a particular idea in mind for this logo, so you are free to play around and come up with any ideas you see fit.
However, if you'd like a little more direction, here are some ideas:
-play around with things relating to Van Gogh (perhaps a person with a bandaged ear?)
-an artists palette or paintbrush to convey the idea of artistry
-We will include a file that has a small picture that the owner typically uses as a caricature of herself. Feel free to play around with that image, or recreate it
Other guidelines:
*We are looking for an original work. Please no photos, clip art, or fonts that carry licenses
-We would like the file submitted as a vector file such as .ai
-If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us
-Have fun!
--added 11/17--
Here are some more things to take into consideration:
-A word about the chocolate chip cookie: We don't make them. The choc. chip is the first image that comes to mind when most people think of cookies and it is the easiest way to portray a cookie very clearly. However, because we don't make them, we feel this could give people the wrong idea of what to expect from us. We are more about what we can do with the decoration of the cookie, whereas the chocolate chip cookie conveys an image of a good old fashioned bakery. So use it with caution :)
-After having the contest running for a few days we have noticed a preference for something that will be reasonably easy to produce on vinyl or with screen printing. For that reason, it might work better to consider:
-An image with strong lines or clear borders
-Colorful, but limit the total number of colors
-More of a 1 or 2 dimensional look
-Keep it simple in terms of how much you have going on in the logo

Mahon River and Bunmahon, Co. Waterford, 2006

Bunmahon is a quiet village in Co. Waterford, Ireland, lying in an area still called the Copper Coast. Copper was discovered there in the 1820s, transforming the former holiday resort into a major industrial region for much of the nineteenth century. However, a series of crises – deterioration in the quality of the ore and its increasing inaccessibility, famine, transatlantic migration and strikes – led to the decline and ultimate closure of the mine in 1877.
Patrick Colbert (c1845-1901) of Bunmahon & Whiterigg

Against this backdrop were two families, the Colberts and the Hurleys. Patrick Colbert was born to James Colbert, foreman at the mine, and his wife, Catherine Flynn, around 1854. Mary Hurley was born to Timothy Hurley, the mine's paymaster, and his wife, Julia O'Sullivan, around 1856. Patrick and Mary married in 1875 and their first child, Bridget Mary, was born in Bunmahon in 1877.

The conditions in Bunmahon following the mine closure had become appalling. At the 1877 half year AGM of the Mining Company of Ireland, it was reported, "It was as if an angel of death had swept over Bunmahon… [The mining area is] now deserted and the misery and wretchedness of the people who survived painful almost beyond description… They are in a state of destitution to amount almost to starvation."
The Colberts were one of the last families to leave, along with the Wheatley family whose eldest son, John, went on to become Minister for Health in the first Labour Government in 1924. Both families headed for industrial Lanarkshire in Scotland. Although the reason behind their choice of destination is not clear, it is likely that recruiting agents for the Scottish coal and ironstone companies had come over to Ireland.

The Colberts moved into Airdriehill Square, Whiterigg, a custom-built village erected in 1874 by United Collieries Ltd. 49 single storey, brick houses were laid out in rows to form a square. The walls were damp, there were no sinks in the homes and sanitation took the form of open privy middens in front of the rows. The Colberts had seven more children. Their only son, James, died aged seven after a building had collapsed on his leg and necrosis developed.
Whiterigg Moorland, January 2010

The remaining children grew to adulthood, and Bridget Mary married William Burns, my husband's grandfather. William reportedly served in the Black Watch. He was a Pioneer Socialist and ambivalent about WW1. In 1915, he obtained compassionate leave to go the funeral of Keir Hardie where he was an honorary pall-bearer. When he returned, his colonel sent for him and said that "Keir Hardie was a Socialist who should have been shot, and we won't miss you!" Reputedly, this reached Ramsay McDonald, who was to become the first Labour Prime Minister in 1924. McDonald was a pacifist in WW1 and the Government was anxious to keep the Labour Party and the British trade union movement onside during the war. He intervened, with the result that William was shipped out to India instead of to the Western Front and almost certain death. William went on to become John Wheatley's election agent in Lanarkshire East in the 1920s.
Signpost, Whiterigg, January 2010

In the spring of 1901, two of the seven girls were bringing in a wage. The family also had a boarder, in a house that probably had three rooms at the most. On 29 December 1901, Patrick Colbert died aged 47 from acute pneumonia. The conditions under which he worked almost certainly led to his death - damp, poor ventilation and the constant inhalation of coal dust. I cannot imagine how his widow managed to raise seven children aged between three and eighteen, but I have found no evidence of her applying for poor relief.

Little remains of Whiterigg now, at least on the surface. All the houses have long been cleared from the site. Only the old school remains. I visited the area last February, a very unforgiving time of the year to view a lost village, and was left with a deep impression of the bleakness of the landscape and the bitterly cold wind blowing across the deserted moorland.

The first American land battle of WWII was also one of the worst military defeats in the nation's history—the 1942 Battle of Bataan in the Philippines—and included the capture of 77 American military nurses.
We Band of Angels: The Untold Story of the American Women Trapped on Bataan (Random House) by Elizabeth Norman, a professor in the Department of Humanities and Social Sceinces, chronicles how the "story-book lives" of these women came to an end with the invasion by the Japanese military shortly after Pearl Harbor.
They'd originally been drawn to the U.S. military outpost looking for adventure and eager to serve as models for women's changing role in the American workforce. But in early 1942, they found themselves in the middle of a battlefield, setting up hospitals in the jungle, working with dwindling supplies and starving along with their patients and the other 76,000 men on the peninsula of Bataan. They were eventually captured by Japanese forces and imprisoned for three years, the largest group of female POWs in our country's history.
Norman, a registered nurse, draws on letters, diaries, and first-hand accounts to create this war-time narrative. First published in 1999, the 2013 edition includes a new final chapter, which centers the last surviving Angel, "the last woman standing," Mildred Dalton Manning.
Norman's previous works include Women at War: The Story of Fifty Military Nurses Who Served in Vietnam, and, co-authored with Michael Norman, Tears in the Darkness: The Story of the Bataan Death March and Its Aftermath.

This Homestay is a stunning property spread in over 70 acres and is more than 150 years old. It was one of the first plantations to be planted by an Indian and every inch of it has a riveting story to tell.
The estate consists of charming and well done cottages cloaked by unblemished greenery. Anecdotes about Mr. Bhandari's mother, who is is an icon of the region, are instantly impressive. She was Darang's first female panch and plantation owner. Mrs. Neeru Bhandari is a cultured lady who takes pride in her home. While she's fond of entertaining, cooking and gardening Mr. Bhandari is a talented amateur photographer. They're both naturally gracious hosts, patrons of the arts and avid travellers. Today, they both focus on their life at the tea estate. Selling produce from the estate for profit, the five year old homestay was their way of meeting new and interesting people.
The Main House has 1 bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a private dining area. The Middle Cottage offers 2 bedrooms with a big bathroom and little veranda for guests to enjoy. The Upper Cottage is given out only when big groups are expected. All the 3 cottages have been decorated with artifacts collected over generations and offer splendid views of the snow-clad Himalayas. The sprawling estate is filled with flowering plants, tea plantations, fruit-laden trees and its natural beauty attracts many exotic birds as well as wild animals. Since it started five years ago, the homestay has entertained renowned bird watchers and many travel enthusiasts. Organic tea, fruits, vegetables are grown on the property and used in the home's kitchen. Fresh milk from their cow is used for personal consumption and it's used to make what is possibly the world's most delicious cottage cheese. At the property, guests can enjoy walks across to the estate, down to the khud and the nearby villages. Treks to the mountains across are undertaken by the adventurous guests. The Estate is just 45 minutes drive from Mcleodganj.
Located near Dharamshala is an ancient temple called Bhagsunath. The Bhandaris look forward to having like minded guests who are cultured, and evolved travelers. By Road: Direct Volvos run daily from Delhi and stop right next to the homestay. Driving down is also a popular option. By Air: The nearest airport is the Gaggar airport, which is about 24kms away. From there a taxi can be hired to reach the estate or pick-up can be arranged by the homestay. By Rail: Pathankot, which is about 100kms from Darang is the nearest broadgauge railway terminal. From there one can hop on a narrow guage train or arrive by taxi.
