While the world may have different views on bulls — whether to name 'em, maim 'em or flambe 'em — we've universally adopted a view that they are, in some sense, our competition. The Spanish race against them each year, or at the very least watch tourists get their innards re-arranged at hornpoint. Costa Ricans and Wyomingites and Brazilians ride the suckers, and metric or standard, eight seconds brings the same glorious triumph.
Then, India. The reverential relationship between people and cattle on the subcontinent surely stands among the most celebrated anywhere, but that doesn't stop jackasses from piling into rings and "taming" bulls during an annual festival in Palamedu, India. This sporting rite is called jallikattu, and from what I can discern from the photo galleries (see here, here and here), taming is a euphemism for kind of riding and wrestling but mostly just fucking with. On a single day this week some 41 people were hospitalized (briefly and non-severely) for jallikattu-related dings and scrapes. According to a press account, "The bulls were medically examined prior to the event. Strict vigil was also made to ensure that the bull tamers were not inebriated."
On the last, I call bull.

Fung Ying Seen Koon
While most people associate the Hong Kong skyline with glittering monuments to international finance, in Fanling it's an entirely different type of structure that dominates the horizon. From its commanding hillside location, one of the city's most important Taoist temples immediately catches the eye with its massive orange-tiled double roof, built in traditional Chinese design and supported by stout red pillars of stone.
Founded in 1929, Fung Ying Seen Koon was named after the two fairy islands of Fung Lai and Ying Chau, and is believed by many to be the dwelling place of immortals. From the larger structures, such as its pavilions and halls, to its tinier details, including the tiles and decorative elements, Fung Ying Seen Koon is a paradigm of Taoist design.
The blue ceiling inside the main palace (which is called the Great Palace of the Three Sages) represents the Heavens. If you look up you can also spot clouds, ornamental columns and fairy crowns on the ceiling. In front of the temple's Ancestral Hall is the Wall of Tao Te Ching, where 81 chapters of the famous work Tao Te Ching by the ancient Chinese philosopher Laozi are inscribed.
In line with many of Hong Kong's larger temples, a vegetarian restaurant serves wholesome fare to visitors.

Semantic Structure
The Nature of HTML
The originators of HTML were scientists who wanted a standard means to share particle physics documents. They had little interest in the exact visual form of the document as seen on the computer screen. In fact, HTML was originally designed to enforce a clean separation of content structure and graphic design. The intent was to create a World Wide Web of pages that will display in every system and browser available, including browsers that "read" web page text to visually impaired users and can be accurately interpreted by automated search and analysis engines.
The inventors of the web did not realize the graphical and display potential of the web, and as such, HTML was not designed with display considerations in mind. They were so concerned about making web documents machine-friendly that they produced documents that only machines (or particle physicists) would want to read. In focusing solely on the structural logic of documents they ignored the need for the visual logic of graphic design and typography. This lack of a visual emphasis on the web is what causes web designers such stress in trying to get pages to look the way that they want them to look. This pressure is what caused browser software companies to begin to ignore the standards of proper HTML and allow additional visual and layout features or extensions of HTML to work within their browsers.
For example, most graphic designers avoid using the standard heading elements in HTML (
<h2>, and so on) because they lack subtlety: in most web browsers these elements make headlines look absurdly large (
<h2>) or ridiculously small (
<h6>). But the header elements in HTML were not created with graphic design in mind. Their sole purpose is to designate a hierarchy of headline importance, so that both human readers and automated search engines can look at a document and easily determine its information structure. Only incidentally did browser designers create a visual hierarchy for HTML headers by assigning different type sizes and levels of boldness to each header element, though these type sizes tend to be somewhat limiting within the HTML language.
Fortunately CSS allows authors to change the visual presentation of elements to meet their design and visual preferences while maintaining the underlying semantic meaning (the word "semantic" literally means "meaning"). As with the original intention of the web, screen readers and other assistive technologies largely ignore visual styling and focus primarily on semantics and structure.
Using Headings for Content Structure
When encountering a lengthy web page, sighted users often scroll the page quickly and look for big, bold text (headings) to get an idea of the structure and content of the page. Screen reader and other assistive technology users also have the ability to navigate web pages by heading structure, assuming true headings are used (as opposed to text that is styled to be big and/or bold). This means that the user can view a list of all of the headings on the page, or can read or jump by headings, or even navigate directly to top level headings (
<h1>), next level headings (
<h2>), third level headings (
<h3>), and so on.
View the content structure of one of your web pages in WAVE. Enter the web page URL into the text box, press the button and then select the Outline tab in the side bar.
Pages should be structured in a hierarchical manner, generally with one 1st degree headings (
<h1>) being the most important (usually page titles or main content heading), then 2nd degree headings (
<h2> - usually major section headings), down to 3rd degree headings (sub-sections of the
<h2>), and so on. Technically, lower degree headings should be contained within headings of the next highest degree (i.e., one should not skip heading levels, such as from an
<h2> to an
<h4>, going down the document). The following outline shows the hierarchy of what a web page might contain. In fact, it represents the hierarchy of the main content section of this page, with different degrees of headers to represent higher or lower levels of content hierarchy. You can click on any of the heading items to jump to that section within this page.
Using Headings Correctly
Do not use text formatting, such as font size or bold to give the visual appearance of headings - use actual heading (
<h1> -
<h6>) for all content headings. Assistive technologies and other browsers rely upon the literal markup of the page to determine structure. Items that are bolded or display in a bigger font are not interpreted to be structural elements.
Likewise, do not use headers to achieve visual results only. For instance, if you want to highlight or emphasize an element within your content that is not a heading (such as I did with the previous sentence), do not use heading elements to achieve the visual appearance you want. Instead, use font size, bold, or italics. Actually, you should use styles to achieve visual results. If you want to emphasize something, you technically should use the
<strong> element instead of
<b> and the
<em> element instead of
<i>. Bold and italics (
<i>) both connote visual emphasis, whereas strong and emphasis (
<em>) suggest semantic emphasis. Visually,
<b> and
<strong>, and
<em> and
<i> look exactly the same and are, unfortunately, generally treated the same (if differentiated at all) in screen readers, but developers should use the more proper HTML elements.
Using Lists Correctly
HTML lists -
<ol>, and
<dl> - also convey a hierarchical content structure. Each of these has rules regarding their use as well. Unordered lists should be used when there is no order of sequence or importance. Ordered lists suggest a progression or sequence. Definition lists should be used explicitly for presenting a structure for definitions. As with heading, lists should be used correctly and for the right purposes. Unordered and ordered lists should always contain list items. Definition lists must always have definition descriptions. Empty lists are incorrect HTML. Lists should never be used for merely indenting or other layout purposes. Nested lists should be coded properly.

North Korea's state news agency has distributed photos of the North Korean rocket launch, including photos of the country's leader Kim Jong Un.
Look at that old phone.....I bet he has a trimline princess phone in his bedroom. Whoa....how did they manage to launch that rocket ? firewood ?
Thank our wonderful "friend", CHINA! Who else?
Stolen US technology, of course!
Kim Jong-Un, what will power gain for North Korea? War? Destruction? Death?
Who are you trying to kid? A good leader cares for his people, not power. Be a real leader.
yeh mr.kim jong shortwang appears his fat a** hasnt missed a meal while his people are starving..... terrible
Well fed 'Dear Leader' of an impoverished nation!! Horrible.
North Korea is the sick example of what Stalin and Mao wanted to make of the whole world.
Sooner or later the whole world is going to have to push China into undoing the looney bin
that they made of N Korea. Even the Vietnamese had the good sense to put an end to Pol
Pot's nonsensical genocide in Cambodia. Its time for the Chinese to do the same in N Korea.
I don't think there was any evidence that Mao and Stalin had plans to turn the whole world into a version of North Korea. And China, under Mao, was not as isolated as North Korea, and many times, early in the 1950s, made advances towards the United States, only to be rebuffed. It therefore was not trying to cut itself off from the world. Your assertion is ridiculous.
Josh K, your comments are very true. After I read your statement, I went to wiki and found that you're not only correct but your statement is very relevant to the article. The communist regime in Vietnam caused untold food disruption after 1975. So many died from starvation I was lucky to be adopted and taken to the U.S. I recall seeing so many dead people floating down the Mekong by the thousands I thought it was a normal thing as a 7 year boy to see.
M Houston, well said. Check out what wiki has to say about Stalin. Stalin held the position of General Secretary of the party's Central Committee from 1922 until his death. While the office was initially not highly regarded, Stalin used it to consolidate more power after the death of Vladimir Lenin in 1924, gradually putting down all opposition. This included Leon Trotsky, the principal critic of Stalin among the early Soviet leaders. Whereas Trotsky advocated world permanent revolution, Stalin's concept of socialism in one country became primary policy as he emerged the leader of the Soviet Union.
In 1928, Stalin replaced the decade's New Economic Policy with a highly centralised command economy and Five-Year Plans, launching a period of industrialization and collectivization in the countryside. As a result, the USSR was rapidly transformed from an agrarian society into an industrial power, the basis for its emergence as the world's second largest economy after World War II.[2] However, the rapid changes saw millions of people sent to correctional labour camps,[3] and deported and exiled to remote areas of the Soviet Union.[3] The initial upheaval in agriculture disrupted food production and contributed to the catastrophic Soviet famine of 1932–1933. In 1937–38, a campaign against alleged enemies of the Stalinist regime culminated in the Great Purge, a period of mass repression against the population in which hundreds of thousands of people were executed. Major figures in the Communist Party such as Trotsky and Red Army leaders, were killed, convicted of participating in plots to overthrow the Soviet government and Stalin.
Kim Jong-Un,
You you are no god, but as a prison warlord. At your table you waste and gourd, you make your belly fat on the souls of the people. Razor wire and implements of war have put the people into captivity and insured their poverty. Those who dare cry for justice and mercy are purged and thrown into labor camps or dungeons. Your wrath against the people testifies against your Rule! Your fear of Judgement was born by the blood of your people crying out from the earth against you. You have not served, nor shown mercy, peace or love to the people of your captivity. You provoke the Nations with the noise of your fear, and boast in your heart that you've secured the foundation of your lies. Jehovah shall Judge your enemies Kim Jong-Un! But your enemies shall judge you the day your fear comes before your face like a consuming fire.
Beautifully put. Almost biblical in tone. And how I agree with all you say.
please explain me when you understand what the verse meant..;)
When will someone find that guy a barber?
Or at least the US should send the NK a shipload of "Flowbees"!!!!! Hahahahahaahaha
These new photos look like something from Chairman Mao's China in the 1960's, right down to the clothes! Maybe some day North Korea will catch up with the 21st century. Maybe in 100 years or so.
man the so called satellite will personify them..actually has impersonated them as the heroes in plain clothes..technology doesn't need fashionable outfits but intelligence. I just hope that they didn't create a satellite hoax to ultimately use the tests into building nukes carrying long range weapons..because that is actually retarded. We have only one Earth!!!

US Gov't Tells Developing Nations That Patents & High Prices Are Good For The Health Of Their Citizens
from the oh-really-now? deptThere have been plenty of studies showing how -- especially in developing nations -- patents for pharmaceuticals serve to keep important drugs (which are cheap to manufacture) out of reach of the patients who need them most. In large part, because of this, various world bodies have accepted the idea that nations may decide to ignore patents in the interest of public health and safety. And that appears to work and be helpful. For example, we were just discussing how such generic copies were helpful in massively reducing the price of key drugs in India. And, no, this did not mean that the original manufacturer was unable to profit. This was on a drug where the company (Bayer) had made many times over its investment around the globe already, yet was still pricing the drug at over $5,000, while the generics were coming in at between $100 and $200.
There have been so many studies on this that you'd have to be either ignorant or deceitful to suggest that such a plan was a problem.
So I'm trying to figure out which adjective should apply to the USPTO, who recently gave a talk to a WIPO committee on the issue of patents and health, in which they argued that such efforts actually did more harm than good, and the way to keep people safe in developing countries was to increase patent protection:
There is no easy solution to these problems. Reducing patent protection is not likely to solve these thorny issues.... To the contrary, the lack of effective patent protection can be one of the many factors which prevent the appropriate medicines from reaching the neediest patients in DC and LDCs. Weakening the patent rights granted to pharmaceutical researchers and manufacturers in certain markets not only removes or reduces the incentive to develop new medicines, but also reduces the incentives for innovative medicine developers to invest in those countries and harness their innovation to solving the public health challenges that disproportionately affect developing countries, and are not being solved in other ways.This statement is hogwash. First of all, there's nothing stopping these companies from profiting greatly in the developed world with these drugs, as they do already. And the idea that they wouldn't, say, invest in India if they could only get $100 per drug rather than $5,000... well, who cares? Considering how much more of these drugs they'd sell at those lower prices, there would still be plenty of profit to go around. Apparently, the folks at the USPTO have never learned a thing about price elasticity. Second, if a big pharma is too stupid to know how to provide drugs (which are relatively cheap to manufacture) at a reasonable cost for a profit, it seems pretty freaking natural that other companies are willing to step in and offer generics. So, really, why should anyone care if, say, Bayer decides to ignore India because it wants $5,000 for pills that others are willing to sell at $120? We're talking about the health and safety of the public, not Bayer.
Weakening patent protection for innovative medicines is not a productive approach to improving availability of health care, because many other factors other than patents more directly affect the availability of medicines.This is a nice bit of sleight of hand, confusing correlation with causation. No one says that a lack of patents means that such drugs are automatically made available in every market. But it takes a truly demented view of the world to take that fact and assume that such drugs would be more widely available if only those non-patented drugs were in fact covered by patent.
The proof of the weakness of that argument is that although most medicines on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines are not protected by patents, their availability in many markets is still limited. This is particularly true in DC/LDCs. Many other factors affect the availability of all medicines, patented or not.
From there, the USPTO proposed a study to show how wonderful patents are in getting drugs to poor countries, to "restore balance to the discussion by evaluating the role of patent protection in providing incentives for research and development...." Funny how they were just talking about drugs that were off-patent not being available... but now they ignore that and it's all about new drug development. But, more seriously, I find it absolutely hilarious that the USPTO wants to talk about "restoring balance." This is an organization that has always pushed for "more patents" at pretty much any cost. The whole software industry is facing a massive crisis of gridlocked development over bogus patents. If we're going to start "restoring balance" to the patent system, let's start at home.
This kind of stuff is really sickening, because it's basically the USPTO saying that poor people around the globe should suffer and die if helping them doesn't produce enough profits for big pharmaceutical conglomerates. I don't know how people taking that position can sleep at night.

Click here for more photos of the last day of Rick Hansen's 25th Anniversary relay
Vancouver - More than two decades after the original Man in Motion tour came to a close, Rick Hansen still knows how to draw a crowd.
Surrounded by hundreds of onlookers, relay participants jogging, walking and wheeling through the media crush, Rick Hansen ended his 273-day cross-country 25th Anniversary relay, arriving at the Terry Fox memorial at BC Place accompanied by B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Vancouver mayor Gregor Robinson.
Red balloons, silver noisemakers and the distinctive yellow jackets of the medal-bearers coloured the plaza as an emotional Hansen addressed the crowd.
"I'm filled with such joy, such gratitude and such inspiration," he said, remembering the ups and downs of both the relay and the 1985-1987 tour in which he wheeled around the world to raise money and awareness for spinal cord injury. He reminded supporters "there is so much work for all of us who are now in motion, a nation in motion, working one good turn at a time to remove barriers," and work toward ending paralysis from illness or injury.
More than 7,000 participants were chosen to pass the "baton," a silver medal, from Cape Spear, Nfld. to Vancouver. John and Joan Tennant were medal-bearers during the Granville Island leg of the tour Monday, but they've been involved in Hansen's pursuits since the 1980s. After hearing about "a chap who wants to go around the world in a wheelchair," John, now 84, helped coordinate the Man in Motion tour from the Vancouver offices of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame, where he was chairman of the board at the time. His wife organized her friends to become "women in motion" volunteers.
The couple were at the relay finale.
"We thought we just had to come today and carry through with it," said Joan.
Sonny Davis, 32, has been with the relay from the beginning as an endurance athlete, one of 17 who carried the medal on some long hauls between communities. Davis, who has muscular dystrophy, was invited by the Rick Hansen Foundation to begin the relay in the Maritime provinces. "I was given the golden opportunity to kick it off right from the beginning," he said. Plus, he said, he got to meet Hansen, his childhood hero.
Hansen said young Canadians are uniquely poised to continue his "ultra-marathon of social change." Grade 5 student Maya Cudney, 10, presented the Man in Motion with a cheque for $5,250, which she raised by selling "hope rope" bracelets for $10 apiece online. Jeneece Edroff, 18, kept her wheelchair in line with Hansen's during the last few blocks of the relay. And Amanda Magyar, 19, carried the medal its last 250 metres. She was honoured onstage for her Birthday Bags 4 Kids charity and involvement with Girl Guides of Canada. "It's fun, it's crazy, it's all emotions mixed in one," she said. "I'm really humbled, especially after being chosen by Rick himself."
After the final ceremony, Hansen thanked Vancouver for becoming an accessible city, pointing to medical advances, infrastructure like curb cuts, ramps and audible crosswalks, and the 2010 Olympics and Paralympics held here.

|Pommes De Terre Au Lard or Speckkartoffeln (Bacon Potatoes).
From http://www.food.com/recipe/pommes-de-terre-au-lard-or-speckkartoffeln-bacon-potatoes-456385
According to this paper (thanks JC):
"The value of whole potato in human nutrition",
by Stanislaw Kazimiarz Kon and Aniela Klein, State School of Hygiene, Warsaw, Poland.
(Received December 29th, 1927.)
The potato is a very important constituent of the diet of many civilised nations, and it may be considered to furnish, with bread, the bulk of the food of the rural population of such countries as Poland and Russia. There is little doubt that the Polish or Russian peasant is nevertheless very healthy and able to do extremely hard work under trying conditions. Deficiency diseases such as beriberi, pellagra or scurvy are practically unknown in Poland.
The diet consisted of potatoes, supplemented with butter or pork fat with the addition of a few fruits (apples and pears); tea or black coffee and sugar were also occasionally taken. The amount of fat consumed was not accurately estimated, it varied from 120-150 g.
They consumed between 1-1.7kg of potatoes daily, which amount to about 200-300g of carbohydrates, thus given the amount of animal fat they consumed, works out at 50% (roughly) fat diet by calories. It is hard to estimate it more accurately, since the pre-WWII traditional Eastern European breed of potatoes that they probably used contained more protein and less starch than the high yielding post-WWII varieties. They also tasted much better (H).

Third-Tier Water Rates
Peak residential water rates are in effect from May 16 through September 15 each year. Peak rates incorporate a three-tiered rate structure with progressively higher rates as water consumption increases. Third-tier water rates are included in this rate structure.
Effective January 1, 2020:
|Water Usage
|Inside Seattle
|Outside Seattle
|Shoreline & Lake Forest Park*
|Off-Peak Usage (Sept. 16 – May 15)
|Peak Usage (May 16 – Sept. 15)
|First-Tier: Up to 10 CCF in 60 days
|Second-Tier: Next 26 CCF in 60 days
|Third-Tier: Over 36 CCF in 60 days
Effective January 1 - December 31, 2019:
|Water Usage
|Inside Seattle
|Outside Seattle
|Shoreline & Lake Forest Park*
|Off-Peak Usage (Sept. 16 – May 15)
|Peak Usage (May 16 – Sept. 15)
|First-Tier: Up to 10 CCF in 60 days
|Second-Tier: Next 26 CCF in 60 days
|Third-Tier: Over 36 CCF in 60 days
Historically, roughly one out of ten residential customers have some consumption at the third-tier level. Third-tier water rates affect single-family residential (SFR) and duplex customers who use more than 36 CCF for a 60-day billing period (or more than 18 CCF for a 30-day billing period). (The thresholds for a duplex are double the SFR level.)
Low income assistance
Eligible low income customers can receive a 50% credit on their bill. For more information, please see Payment Assistance.
Higher summer rates
Although Seattle generally has plenty of water in the winter, we have less precipitation during the summer when demand is highest. During the summer, we depend on water stored in our mountain reservoirs to meet customer demand while leaving enough water in the rivers for fish. Higher summer water rates encourage customers to use water wisely.
Water conservation
From May through September water use in our region increases 35 to 45 percent, primarily to irrigate lawns and gardens. Experts estimate that 30 percent or more of this water goes to waste, due to evaporation, runoff, or simply over-watering. For suggestions about smart watering practices, see My Lawn and Garden. You may also contact the expert staff at the Garden Hotline at (206) 633-0224 (language interpretation available).
History of third-tier rates
A two-tiered residential summer rate was first introduced in 1989. A third-tier was developed during the 1992 drought along with rate surcharges and mandatory restrictions on water use. However, these temporary measures were rescinded as soon as the drought was over. Residential customers were reintroduced to third-tier water rates during the 2001 drought to discourage discretionary summertime water use. The third-tier rate was continued for 2002, but the Mayor and City Council reduced the rate and increased the ccf threshold effective July 16, 2002. Seasonal third-tier rates remained the same until 2009, when they increased at the same percentage as other retail rates.

Neighborhood on the lookout after home invasion
Elderly couple robbed last week in Albuquerque
A home invasion robbery has brought one Albuquerque neighborhood even closer together.
When neighbors heard Mary Nguyen fight with her armed attacker, they sprang into action.
"As soon as this started happening, we were able to get the word out to watch out," said Barbara Lohbeck with the Mark Twain Neighborhood Association.
It all started with an email alert to residents which explained the home invasion and police presence in the neighborhood. Soon, neighbors started filling in some of the details to help the police with their investigation.
One neighbor said the offender was wearing Orange pants with a Denver Broncos jersey and described him as 6 feet tall and African American.
The fact that the suspects used a ruse to get into the elderly couple's home has some area residents on edge.
"Be sure that you lock your windows and your doors when you leave the house. You know you can't trust anybody anymore," Barbara Lohbeck said.
Nearby residents said they're working closely with Albuquerque police because they've been hit hard recently by break-ins and burglaries. The neighborhood tries their best to look out for each other.
"I just think it's important to become aware to each other as a friend and someone that we need to protect and look out for," Lohbeck said.
The Mark Twain Neighborhood Association has been active for two years. They regularly get crime reports from Albuquerque police on what's happening in their area.

By now, the world knows that Warriors star Steph Curry is a master on the basketball court.
But head-to-head with the president of the United States in a match of Connect Four?
Not so much.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
President Barack Obama teamed with reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry in a lighthearted public service announcement calling for Americans to mentor youth in their community to make a positive impact. The two play Connect Four (where Obama wins), create a lava science experiment together, and even take some time at the White House where the president gives Curry some shooting lessons. The point? To show that having a mentor is important.
The video was shown Saturday on "NBA Countdown" ahead of Curry's playoff opener with the defending champion Golden State Warriors against the Houston Rockets on Saturday.
Curry and Obama are pretty tight already.
The two golfed together last August. And Obama called out Curry during a February visit to the White House with the Warriors where the president gently mocked what Curry looks like when he "clowns" with defenders on the court. [[367711371, C]]
The PSA was done through "MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership" and motivated by Obama's "My Brother's Keeper" initiative, which raises awareness and calls for action to ensure all youth — including young men of color — reach their full potential.
Curry is well know for his Bay Area community activism, and his commitment to being a role model for youth.
After a recent visit to Martin Luther King Jr. Elementary in inner-city Oakland, he said, "The opportunity, obviously the 15-20 minutes you're with them, I think goes a long way. Just having fun with them is the most important. It was very beneficial."

The Survey Design Factors course includes three modules:
Module 10. Sample Design
Module 11. Weighting
Module 12. Variance Estimation
These three modules provide an overview of the design features for the NHANES I samples, as well as how to correctly account for these design features in analyses. However, these modules are intended as a supplement to the Continuous NHANES tutorial Survey Design Factors course. It is assumed you have previously reviewed these modules.
The Sample Design module describes the complex sampling design of NHANES I, which includes multi-stage, unequal probability, and cluster sampling methods. This module also explains how to specify sampling parameters in an analysis. The Weighting module describes how NHANES I weights are calculated to take into account survey non-response, oversampling, post-stratification, and sampling error. More importantly, this module teaches how to select the correct weights for an analysis. The Variance Estimation module offers a brief comparison of NHANES I and continuous NHANES on methods of variance estimation, estimate stability and sample design, variance units, then refer you back to the Continuous NHANES tutorial for detailed instruction.
These modules will provide analysts who are new to NHANES I with an improved grasp of the survey's sampling and weighting procedures and basic tools for calculating variance estimates.
If you are an experienced analyst who only needs specific information to help you complete an analysis on your own, you can pick and choose topics of interest from the navigation bar to the left, or from the Tutorial A-Z Index. You may also go to the Sample Code and Datasets page to download and modify sample programs and datasets for your own use.
Sample Code
Annotated SAS and SUDAAN codes are presented in summary tables throughout the tutorial for the sole purpose of demonstration and explanation. These annotated codes do not comprise a complete SAS or SUDAAN program that can be readily submitted for a computer run. If you need the complete SAS or SUDAAN program corresponding to these annotated codes, please consult the 'Download Sample Code and Dataset' links listed under the tasks in the respective module.
More Information
The computer software, knowledge, and skills requirements are listed for your convenience on the Software & Technical Requirements page. The Tech Tips page can help you troubleshoot if you run into technical difficulties.

You could buy Apple's gorgeous 27-inch Cinema Display but it'll cost you a grand. If you don't have that kind of paper, Nixeus is about to drop the Vue, a display of the same size, packed with 2,560 x 1,440 WQHD resolution for just $430.
"But wait, I've never even heard of Nixeus," you say. Granted, we don't know if it's any good. But the price certainly is, and it's set for an August 21 release. Specs sound promising—an LG S-IPS panel, 6ms response, 8-bit color, stereo speakers, and several ports (VGA, HDMI 1.4, DVI). And of course, all for about half the money as panels with similar features. That said, $430 is still a lot of dough, so let's hope it's not too good to be true. [AnandTech via Engadget]

Product description
If you grew up in rural Pennsylvania, chances are you've consumed your share of rhubarb. Pies, teas, jams…for a few months a year, it seems like it's everywhere and in everything. The roots of the Keystone State's rhubarbiness go all the way back to our favorite insanely industrious and pioneering founding father, Ben Franklin. Aside from leading a revolution and discovering electricity, Franklin was an avid agriculturalist and best friend of botanist John Bartram. In fact, Franklin brought the first rhubarb seeds from Europe to America as a gift for Mr. Bartram in 1771. (Bartram's Garden in Philadelphia is America's oldest botanical garden. If you haven't visited, you really should.) Point in fact, rhubarb originally came from China, where it was used as an herbal tonic. In the late 18th century, cane sugar became more affordable, which changed the way rhubarb was enjoyed. Upon discovering the capacity of sugar to release the wonders of the plant's intrinsic flavor, rhubarb migrated from a fold tonic to a tasty treat. Legend has it, Bartram was so enthused with rhubarb, he concocted a lovely garden tea showcasing his new botanical prize. We were mulling over this story when we came up with the idea of creating our own Art in the Age garden spirit in Mr. Bartram's honor. We are proud to offer you RHUBARB Tea! RHUBARB Tea features a botanical bounty of beets, carrots, lemons, petitgrain, cardamom, pure cane sugar, and of course, Bartram's prize rhubarb. All organically certified and delicious. A confident 80 proof spirit that's tangy but not too tangy–sweet, but not too sweet. Crisp and refreshing, but with a hint of spice. We guarantee there's never been anything else like it…at least not since 1771. (Oh, and just to let you know, finding a source for organically certified rhubarb was quite a feat, so please savor every drop.)View all products by Art in the AgeCalifornia Residents: Click here for Proposition 65 WARNING

While we'd all like albums labelled 'Moonbeams and Jellybeans', or 'Technicolor Ponies in Digital Snow' to live up to what they says on the spine, by and large they don't. (Okay, so those would be awful, but you get the point: a lot of self-professed psychedelia just sounds like ugly synths and over-used effects rather than what they're meant to evoke.) On the other hand, it's a mark of Spencer Krug's singular perversity that his last two releases have tried really hard to be as 'composerly' as possible in their titles, but even so the psychedelia of the contents seeps through into the phrasing. Who 'hopes' for vibraphone and doesn't get it – let alone tells you so on a record they expect you to buy? If such naïve candour doesn't endear Moonface to you straight away, then you're in the wrong place, but if it does, you can start your drooling now.
Let's assume you don't need a history of the Wolf Parade / Swan Lake / Sunset Rubdown axis – there's a family tree you can Google for if you want, and plenty of praise elsewhere on DiS – it's important to remember, though, that Spencer started Sunset Rubdown in the spirit of genuine experimentalism; salvaging found-sounds from the shipwrecks of past genres, and unfashionable instrumentation. As he tells it, the early SunRub ideas weren't practical for taking on the road, so he wrote songs that matched them in spirit, until the original impetus was all but buried under the glam-prog magnificence of Dragonslayer (2009), an album that mingled peacock-feather-era Eno and Roxy Music with the more operatic moments of 70s Queen, or Genesis. DiS wasn't the only site to award it 10/10 that year, well before a bunch of celebrities jumped on the SunRub bandwagon.
None of which evidently mattered to Spencer Krug as much as his perceived loyalty to the Weird. The second release from Moonface, Dreamland EP: marimba & shit-drums (2010), was self-effacing in the title, but in his total commitment to the premise (set a dream journal to music) Spencer managed to rival the seminal text of the Surrealist movement: Breton & Soupault's Les Champs Magnetiques (yes, the original 'Magnetic Fields') from 1919.
All of which brings us to the first full-length release from Moonface, apparently pared down from 90 minutes of music that was meant to be drone-based and all-engulfing, but ended up more melodic. Thematically, Organ Music… re-visits all-of-the-above, but Spencer's more lucid in his metaphors than ever before but loses none of the mystique for doing so; listening to this is like realising you can suddenly speak horse, or whale. On 'Return to the Violence of the Ocean Floor', Krug's talking about exploring his unconscious – reaching back to the primitive parts of his mind, the way the Surrealists intended – but there's a melancholy too. For its burbling, twittering sounds and lyrical settings alike, Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt comes to mind, but this is the sped-up, should-be-sacrilegious-but-isn't dance remix of Wyatt's sub-aquatic ambience; alternatively, the Moonface album is what you imagine Young Marble Giants might have done next.
At the album's centrepoint, 'Fast Peter' is the chirpiest moment, with Camilla from SunRub on backing vocals, cooing "she's the one / the one that you want"; like several other Spencer songs (for Wolf Parade, and elsewhere) this offers a snapshot of Montreal's Bohemian-set "…high on drugs" with no apologies or posing, just the slight pathos that you have to risk talking bollocks to actually open up (which could be that whole scene, in a nutshell). By the end, the mostly cheerful / occasionally wistful tones of the pipe organ are being used to create much more abrasive gasps and blasts, while harsher drums and guitars are added. On 'Loose Heart = Loose Plan', singing "…the sound of Talking Heads / makes me miss my friends" with a staccato delivery, Spencer sounds like he's getting a case of cabin-fever from the long Canadian winter, and it's the post-punk 'Heads he's channelling here, or even PiL, whose industrial-dub version of Tchaikovsky's 'Swan Lake' could be a template for the whole album's instrumental incongruity. Overall, if Spencer wants to keep the fans guessing – mission accomplished. If he really wants to lose them, he's going to have to try a lot harder to stop writing those tunes.

Turtle tactics are a last resort for players with no imagination, who enjoy winning far to much. This tactic is frowned upon by all civilizations other than Kraan.
Basically, minifigs are all given a long-range weapon, then they all hide in cover, and shoot whenever an enemy comes into range. This is a very low risk tactic, that should not ever be used as it makes games boring. Unless of course you are just suppressing the enemy so that other minifigs can outflank them.
if your opponent turtles, you have the right to impose an Unmighty Pennie of Doing Nothing for every turn on which they Do Nothing, and then taking the free time to mass your forces for a rapid anti-turtle rush. This will either overwhelm their defenses, or at least end in a spectacularly bloody fashion, thereby proving you were more ossum than your opponent.
A completely different variant is the "Turtle" phalanx formation, which allows a stationary group of shielded units to massively up their resistance to bows and light ranged weapons. This is cooler if only because you get to pretend to be a tank.
If your opponent regularly employs turtle tactics, there are several things you can do to prevent him from using them. First, you can simply play without accuracy modifiers for cover, as that removes any incentive for staying behind cover. If that doesn't work, there are several specialty units and creations you can construct to counter turtle tactics, such as Dropships which can deploy your troops behind enemy lines or extremely powerful Siege Weapons which can blast apart or burn the terrain the enemy is using for cover.

International Space Station Expedition Six Crew Interviews with
Flight Engineer Nikolai Budarin.
you are set to begin a four-month-or-so long mission on ISS; can
you explain what is the goal of this particular expedition to the
International Space Station?
Well, as you
know, the station has been in orbit for two years. There have been
five expeditions to the station; right now we're in assembly phase,
and the goal of our expedition is to continue assembly of the station
on orbit, both external and internal. At the same time, we will
be performing various scientific experiments, medical experiments,
perform EVAs -- spacewalks -- to install additional equipment external
to the station; we'll be receiving cargo vehicles; we'll be meeting
and seeing off visiting crews. So in short, that is the goal.
is your third spaceflight. How has having the experience of having
flown before helped you as you prepared to fly this mission?
Yes, you're
right; this is my third flight. I have flown two times previously
to the Mir space station: first in 1995, on STS-71, and second in
'98, on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft. This long training, long space
flight training -- I've been doing this for 12 years, training for
flights to space-combined with the previous flight experience --
how, what to do on the station, what not to do on the station, how
to rest, how to work; all that will certainly help me in my third
flight. And not the least is the experience of working as part of
international crews: Now I will be working with Ken Bowersox and
Donald Pettit; in the past I've flown with … as part of other international
crews. I think in that sense, it is very important to understand
who are your teammates and act accordingly.
me why it is that you wanted to become a cosmonaut in the first
This is an
interesting question; we always get asked this question, why do
you, why did you become a cosmonaut. Well, I was 8 years old when
Yuri Gagarin made his first flight into space. It was a turning
point in not only my life but in the lives of all other boys and
girls, and that was when the dream was born for me. And I graduated
from high school, enrolled into Moscow Aviation Institute. Upon
graduation, I worked at the Rocket and Space Corporation Energia,
and this work during which I had to participate in testing of spacecraft,
both on the ground and in air provided an additional motivation.
I thought, why not try? And in '86, I was selected for the cosmonaut
were eight years old when Yuri Gagarin became the first person ever
to fly in space; can you tell us what you remember of that day,
and what that was like in your town?
Oh, of course,
that was a long time ago, 41 years ago, to be exact. But I remember
it was sunny, nice weather outside … we were trying to see the spot
in the skies, but we, boys and girls, were still out there peering
into the sky … he has of course long landed since, but we were still
looking. We, of course, we were filled with a sense of pride for
our country because our fellow countryman, Yuri Gagarin was the
first man into space. But of course, it is the achievement for the
mankind as a whole. And now we're continuing in his footsteps.
have mentioned that you've been involved in, throughout your career,
in the joint Russian-American efforts in space … both of your previous
missions had Americans involved. From your point of view, would
you say that the partner nations in the International Space Station
have succeeded in trying to achieve the goal of learning how to
work together?
Of course.
The previous experience of our joint flights has demonstrated that
we are capable of working together, and that we will be working
together, and the International Space Station is a very good example
of that. I think we are successful in building and operating the
station, and I think we will continue to be successful in that.
of any flight crew have to have a range of different talents to
complete all of the tasks that are involved in their mission. Tell
me what are your primary responsibilities as Flight Engineer 1 of
Expedition Six?
It's difficult
to make a clear distinction between duties of a flight engineer
and a commander. Our crew will be maintaining the station, performing
assembly work; we'll have to keep the station in the good condition
for the next crew. As for myself, I will be dealing with the Russian
segment systems, I will be performing Russian scientific and medical
will you, you will also be the pilot for the Soyuz?
Yes, I will
be the pilot for the Soyuz spacecraft. We will be having a Soyuz
spacecraft permanently docked to the station for a potential need
to do emergency descent and landing. As far as piloting is concerned,
we are scheduled to receive one cargo vehicle: We will be docking
it in an automatic mode, and if there are any problems with automatic
docking, I will be the one responsible for performing manual docking
from the station.
your space flight begins when Jim Wetherbee and his space shuttle
crew deliver you and Ken and Don to the space station. During the
time that the two ships are docked together, there is time scheduled,
as you mentioned, for the Expedition Five crew to help orient you
and your crewmates inside the station. And you've done that on your
missions to the Mir space station; it's in, in English is called
a handover. Why is that period of discussion between the two crews
so important?
The current
crew is experienced in the station operations, and it only makes
sense that the old crew will bring the new crew up to speed on the
systems, on communication, on equipment stowage. We call it handover,
and this process lasts more than one day. Basically, this will be
an ongoing work during our joint flight. And, the new crew will
try to learn as much as possible from the old crew to help prepare
for the flight on board the station.
when that is over, the shuttle will depart and bring Valery and
Peggy and Sergei back home, leaving you and Ken and Don to settle
in. Can you, is there such a thing as a "normal" day when
you live in space? What would your routine be like?
Well, a routine
day will be no different from your regular day on Earth. You get
up, you do your morning routine, you read your e-mail, you read
your flight notes, you get your equipment ready, you set up your
experiments; this is nominal routine work, and the only difference
is that we are floating in zero g, but otherwise it's just housekeeping,
cooking … your regular day. Although on the ground we have a house
in which we live, where we rest, where we meet our friends, and
we go to work elsewhere, to an office or somewhere else; but on
the station, the station is both our office, our home, everything.
mentioned that you will have science operations; I'd like to talk
for a couple of minutes about science and the science mission onboard
the International Space Station. In general, overall, can you say
how the experiments from all of the partner nations in this space
station during your time on board are going to be advancing, improving,
the mission, the science mission, of the ISS?
Well, as we
have said before, our crew will participate in scientific and medical
programs, there will be a lot of technology experiments, we will
get observing and monitoring Earth from space -- this is an important
discipline. We're trying to understand how the activity of the mankind
impacts on the Earth and on the environment on Earth, and the opportunities
provided by space monitoring allow us to better understand man-induced
processes on the Earth. As far as medical part is concerned, our
crew will be doing mostly work concerned with the, studying the
effects of microgravity on the human body. The thrust of this research
is, of course, the future Mars flight. This is going to be a very
long flight, the Mars flight, and we will need to study all aspects,
all factors that will affect the human body during that long extended
also mentioned a few minutes ago how a big part of your job would
be seeing to matters in the Russian segment of the station, and
I take it that that includes the Russian science as well. Could
you describe one or two of the Russian experiments that you will
be spending time with during your time on board ISS?
Russian segment will have its own share of science and medical experiments.
We will be performing Earth monitoring and observation for Russian
scientific program. One of the experiments is called Diatomeya.
It involves observation of ocean surface in order to determine …
regions that are best suitable for fishing; fertile regions of the
ocean. Currently, these particular regions of the ocean are well-studied
and their location is known, but in nature, everything changes,
everything morphs, and these regions are changing as well. So we'll
be determining the new characteristics of the regions. Also, we
will be monitoring the glaciers. Everybody's talking about global
warming, so we will be watching out for glacier dynamics. Medical,
well, the goals and objectives are similar across all programs.
The equipment may be different, but we will be working towards the
same end pretty much.
and this may change after, by the time you launch, but at this point
there is one spacewalk that is being anticipated for this crew during
your increment. Can you tell me what are the current plans for this
EVA, and whether you will be one of the crewmembers to go outside?
Well, speaking
about EVA, I very much hope that we'll have this EVA. There will
be two crewmembers going outside, stepping outside the station;
one will stay behind, supporting their activity in the outer space.
When, the, Jim Wetherbee's crew will have installed the P1 segment
on the S0 truss; we will pick up with installing equipment on this
truss segment. We will install a UHF antenna, we will install a
radiator, we will have to deploy it. It is, it will be stowed and
latched. In order to deploy this radiator we will need to open the
latches, open the locks … there are eighteen of them, so there will
be a lot of tedious work. I'm doing these locks. We will also have
to install some struts with lights on the CETA cart, which stands
for crew EVA … and we will also be transferring tools from one truss
segment to another; we will be using robotic arm. I'm hoping that
I will get a chance to participate in this EV, spacewalk. I have
eight spacewalks under my belt from the Mir experience, and I'm
hoping to get EVA experience on the International Space Station.
Maybe there will be other objectives, but for now, this is the program
of our EVA. But, we are ready to do whatever comes our way.
you consider all that is planned to occur during your time onboard,
if you were to imagine yourself at the end of your expedition, what
do you think will have had to have occurred for you to consider
Expedition Six was a success?
This is an
interesting question. Well, first, I think we would like to see
all goals of the expedition completed; that we are ready to leave
the station for the next crew in the good order, in the good condition.
Second, I would like to see, I'd like to have had the scientific
and medical program completed fully. And, that will be the measure
of the success of our increment. And we will be able to say that
we have contributed to the assembly, to the construction of the
all are scheduled to arrive at the International Space Station very
shortly after the second-year anniversary of the start of the station's
continuous habitation. Nikolai, I wonder, in your opinion, after
two years of operations onboard, what do you think is the best thing
that has come out of the International Space Station during these
first two years of human operation on orbit?
Two years
is a significant time, and the fact that the station continues operating
means that we are able to work together, that we have learned to
work together, and that we will continue to work together. This
is the most important thing that comes out of these two years.

Physical education is good for kids' grades, study finds
(HealthDay) -- Boosting students' levels of physical education improves their grades, a new, small study says.
Swedish researchers followed more than 200 schoolchildren, starting from first through third grade, for nine years. Some children were assigned to an intervention group that received physical education five days a week, plus extra training in motor-physical skills such as balance and coordination. The other children were assigned to a control group that received usual levels of physical education.
The study showed that 96 percent of students in the intervention group achieved grades that made them eligible to advance to upper-secondary school, compared with 89 percent of students in the control group.
This difference was especially evident among boys (96 percent in the intervention group and 83 percent in the control group). The boys in the intervention group had significantly higher grades in Swedish, English, math, physical education and health than those in the control group.
The study also found that in ninth grade, 93 percent of students in the intervention group had good physical motor skills, compared with 53 percent of student in the control group.
"Physical education has been pared down from three lessons a week to one or two," study author Ingegerd, Ericsson of Malmo University, said in a news release. "We scientifically confirm here that daily timetabled physical education and adapted motor skills training not only improves motor skills but also school achievement."

How Could God Reveal Himself to Us?
Many Christians argue that God has already verified his revelation in Jesus through miracles in the historical past, and as such it needs no further verification. But I argue against this whole notion in the above links. History is a poor medium to verify much of anything, especially miracles.
Someone recently asked me, "what else is there but human history for God to have revealed himself in?" I'll suggest a few ways here. I'd like to see some other suggestions of ways God could reveal himself to us, if he existed.
God could reveal himself in every generation in a myriad of ways since he is supposedly an omniscient being.
He could become incarnate in every generation and do miracles for all to see. If people wanted to kill him again and he didn't need to die again, he could simply vanish before their eyes.
He could spontaneously appear and heal people, or end a famine, or stop a war.
He could raise up John F. Kennedy from the dead.
He could provide a blazing cross in the sky.
He could restore an amputated limb in full sight of an crowd of people which would include all of the best magicians along with the Mythbusters and James Randi, who would all find fault if fault could be found.
He could do any and all of the miracles he did in the Bible from time to time, including miraculously feeding 5000 men with their families. The list of things God could do in each generation is endless.
If God has foreknowledge then he could've predicted certain events in history like the rise of the internet, the exact time of the Mt St. Helens eruption, or described the vastness of the universe before we could verify this, or prophesied the day that TV was invented.
Then he could also help us to figure out the logic of what he has done. If God can eternally create two equally omniscient beings, then he could've created human beings so that they could better understand such things as the trinity, the incarnation, free will and predestination, and the problem of evil. If these things are not a problem for God to understand, then he could've given human beings a better understanding of these things.

The best observations, quotes, comments and zingers we heard this week.
"There's a fundamental difference between people who want to see the Internet and say — 'Let's lobotomize and censor parts of it because we need to control it' — and those like us who see the Internet as a method of growing the economy and innovating in front of the world. And we have to actually reconcile those two positions. And we believe that it is much better to protect this crown jewel of civilization, which is the ability for us to communicate and express our ideas freely, than to try to lobotomize it." —Ben Huh, CEO of Cheezburger, debating NBC Universal's Rick Cotton on PBS' The NewsHour about the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP Act.
"The bills have nothing to do with censorship. That's a red herring. Like most technical rules written by bureaucrats, the bills are a mess. But the idea of protecting intellectual property is a good idea. It protects all of us. Why is one of the most vocal critics of SOPA (Cheezburger) a site which consists almost exclusively of stolen intellectual property?… Rather than just object, why don't these companies work with Congress to pass a good law?" — A GeekWire reader commenting on the post: "Can this song help kill SOPA? 'The Day the LOLcats Died."
"Student warning! Do your homework early." — Wikipedia's Jimmy Wales, on Twitter, announcing the decision to black out the online encyclopedia for 24 hours in protest of SOPA.
"Wait, Wikipedia isn't working? Why hasn't someone invented a paper version of it? A set of books organized alphabetically by topic?" — Ben Shapiro on Twitter.
"Please don't ask me anything until Wikipedia is back up." — Braden Graeber on Twitter.
"Just saw a guy texting while walking and wearing headphones. Why not add a fucking blindfold?" — comedian and actor Denis Leary on Twitter.
"My daughter just characterized Apple's textbooks in portrait as boring mode & landscape as awesome mode. In my day, it was all boring mode." — Randy Stewart on Twitter, after Apple announced a series of new ebook educational initiatives.
"Not a Kodak Moment: Legendary Camera Maker Files for Bankruptcy Protection." Ina Fried's headline in All Things D.
"There's so many opportunities for Google today, but to make a real impact in the world we need to make hard choices about where to focus our efforts." Google CEO Larry Page, speaking on the company's earnings call, about its newfound focus on core products like YouTube, Android and Gmail. A day later the search giant announced plans to shutter the online photo editing service Picnik and other products.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO. I HATE GOOGLE FOR DOING THIS. I LOVE PICNIK. They are so… so… so… HEARTLESS!" —A GeekWire reader, one of many, upset over Google's decision to pull the plug on Picnik. (Editor's note: Picnik co-founder Jonathan Sposato is an investor in GeekWire).
"I got a Subaru Forrester, so I should be good." —Paolo Mottola, creator of the parody videos: "Shit Seattle People Say When it Snows."
"Part of the problem is that analysts still think it's 2002, or maybe even 1998 — they still subscribe to the Microsoft-as-inevitable-leader theory. It's the assumption that, because Windows and Office have such commanding share, Microsoft will always find a way to get a large amount of share in any field it participates in. Mobile is different, and while Windows Phone is good, it's not going to rock the Android or iOS boats just because Nokia's name is attached to it. Even a star player can't always change the game if he comes in with five minutes left, and I'm not convinced Windows Phone has that kind of fight in it." ––GeekWire reader Jonathan Fingas, commenting on a report from research firm iSuppli that Windows Phone could reach more than 15 percent market share by 2015, a prediction the research firm first made for 2012.
"There are 7 billion people on the planet. About 500 million people own a smartphone. What quarter do you suppose we're in?"–GeekWire reader, commenting on the same report.
"Despite intensifying competition and the loss of some high-profile licensees, the usage of Microsoft Corp.'s Windows Mobile operating system in smart phones will nearly triple from 2009 to 2013, allowing it to reclaim the No.-2 position in the global market." –– the same research firm, iSuppli, in a 2009 forecast.

Unfortunately, I was born with that piece missing.
So, it's not without trepidation that I say that it's time Britain built the Analytical Engine. After the wonderful reconstruction of the Difference Engine we need to finish Babbage's dream of a steam-powered, general-purpose computer.
The Analytical Engine has all the hallmarks of a modern computer: it has a program (on punched cards), a CPU (called the 'mill') for doing calculations and it has memory. Of course, it's not electric, it's powered by steam. But the principles that underlie the Analytical Engine are the same that underlie the computer I'm writing this on.
What a marvel it would be to stand before this giant metal machine, powered by a steam engine, and running programs fed to it on a reel of punched cards. And what a great educational resource so that people can understand how computers work. One could even imagine holding competitions for people (including school children) to write programs to run on the engine. And it would be a way to celebrate both Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace. How fantastic to be able to execute Lovelace's code!
Of course, Babbage and his family only ever made parts of the engine (see the picture above). But that shouldn't stop us from constructing it now. All that's needed is money. I'd imagine there are plenty of people who'd want to work on the project.
Unfortunately, I think it would cost a lot of money. The construction of a second Difference Engine for Nathan Myhrvold is said to have cost $1m and that was after all the hard work of figuring out how to make it was completed. It also took years.
But that shouldn't hold us back.
If sufficient money could be raised I'd jump at the chance to run this project as a charity that would donate the completed machine to either London's Science Museum or the National Museum of Computing. Clearly, I can't do this in my free time (and nor could others) so sufficient money would need to be raised to pay a reasonable salary to those involved. And I'd imagine that the materials cost would be very large as well.
Am I mad? Would you donate to make the Analytical Engine an oily, steamy, brass and iron reality? Can we live up to Lovelace's words when she wrote: "We may say most aptly, that the Analytical Engine weaves algebraical patterns just as the Jacquard-loom weaves flowers and leaves. "
PS A commenter asked about pledging money to the project. I'm not quite ready to start accepting cash! :-) But people can pledge by either sending me an email or simply writing a comment here. That'll give me an idea of interest in doing this.
PPS UPDATE. Please visit Plan 28 for more on this topic.

Dog, near death, rallies with owner's love and will model in charity fundraiser
When Nancy Nicholas and her 8-year-old Corgi, Winston, travel the runway at the annual Mutts & Models fundraiser May 21, it will be the culmination of an improbable story.
Instead of helping to raise money for Harrison Memorial Animal Hospital in the celebrity/canine fashion show, Winston wasn't even expected to be alive by now.
But this dog, it seems, is not ready to go. And Nicholas, a retired Englewood resident, isn't about to let him, either.
Perhaps this shouldn't be a surprise, given that Winston's life story has already been full of twists and turns.
He came from a Kansas puppy mill, the kind of production-line place where conditions for animals are often miserable. Cages with only wire floors tear at their feet. Sanitation and medical care are often poor. Good nutrition is an afterthought.
Fortunately for him, the puppy mill was shuttered and Winston wound up in an animal shelter with better conditions.
But he bore the scars of his earlier life: eye and ear infections, a polyp on his behind and terrible teeth (after surgery, only three were left).
Nicholas, a former airline stewardess, retail manager and newspaper worker, has been an animal person all her life. When her Samoyed, Lilly, died, she and her daughter went online to look for another dog.
Nicholas wanted a Corgi and through Petfinder.com she found Winston.
"We drove to Hays, Kansas, to get him," she said.
She later told others she was touched by how sad the dog was when she first adopted him.
Winston turned out to be a perfect fit for Nicholas and their bond blossomed. She grew accustomed to his companionship. He slept on her bed.
"This sweet dog has brought so much joy to my life," she said recently.
But several months ago Winston's backside "gave out" and he had difficulty walking, Nicholas added.
She said she and her family veterinarian tried various things to help the dog, including acupuncture.
"But Winston ingested some of the acupuncture pins," Nicholas said. "He got very sick."
Her veterinarian drove Nicholas and Winston to Harrison Memorial Animal Hospital in Denver, a place with a reputation for taking on tough cases. Harrison is Colorado's largest non-profit animal hospital and provides subsidized care to low-income animal owners.
Winston, critically ill, was hospitalized for a week. His back worsened to the point he couldn't walk at all. He had no appetite. Marked anemia was developing and he had liver trouble.
Nicholas crawled in the cage with Winston to keep him company.
Then, on Monday, April 6, Nicholas said she got a call at home from Dr. Carolyn Karrh, a Harrison veterinarian.
"She said I needed to come to the hospital and say goodbye to Winston," she recalled.
Nicholas went to the hospital expecting the worst. When she got there she said she looked into his eyes.
"'Winston, you're not ready to go,'" she told him. She said he looked back as if to say, "Not yet."
So they went home for one more night, at least, with Nicholas still thinking Winston would not make it much longer.
But Winston surprised everyone. Somehow, he rallied. He started eating and his attitude perked up.
Dr. Karrh made three house calls to check up on him. "Most people doctors don't even make house calls any more," Nicholas said.
"I told Carolyn I actually feel like I loved him to life," Nicholas said.
Today, Winston is doing "wonderfully," she said. "It's an amazing story."
Dr. Ingrid Pyka, Harrison's hospital director, agrees the dog is doing great. She suspects his mobility problem was caused by a disc going out in his back.
Besides the regular subsidy that Nicholas qualified for, Winston's case so touched the hospital staff that they agreed to give Nicholas a further subsidy from the hospital's Angel Fund, which was created for this purpose.
Winston still can't walk, so Nicholas puts him in a baby carriage to get some fresh air outside.
That is how they will appear May 21 when Nicholas and Winston join celebrity models and their pets in Mutts & Models at the EXDO Event Center in Denver.
And although she admits to being nervous about walking the runway with some of the town's better-known bold-face names, Nicholas has her own special insight into the work of Harrison.
"Harrison," she said, "is a wonderful place."

ANIMAL TRACKS – Heidi Ganahl, the CEO and founder of the Boulder-based Camp Bow Wow pet services chain, has come out with her list of Springtime pet safety tips. The list includes:
1 – Be careful what you plant in your garden. Lilies, azalea, daffodils, rhododendron, tulips, sago palm, and chrysanthemums are all toxic for pets.
2 – Before you begin your spring cleaning be mindful of commercial cleaning products. Chemicals found in household cleaners are dangerous for dogs.
3 – Keep pets away from construction sites. Consider hiring a sitter or taking your pet to a day care.
4 – Dogs are less active during the winter. Often, pets get overly excited to go outside and strain themselves. Make sure you monitor your pet and start slow before engaging in strenuous physical activity.
5 – Ticks and heartworm are more prevalent in the spring and summer seasons. Visit your local vet to decide the best preventative measures. . . .
The Colorado Reptile Humane Society recently received 15 animals, including eight bearded dragons, after their owner passed away. The organization is seeking donated glass tanks in these sizes:

Mark Stevens, a Colorado photographer specializing in fine art and portrait work, is holding a fundraiser to benefit MaxFund. It features photo sessions for pets and their owners May 6-8 at Mark Stevens Photography studio in Denver. Participants reserve a session by making a donation of any size, and 100 per cent of all donations go directly to MaxFund. The studio is offering a variety of donation-based packages valued from $89 to $500. Reservations: (303) 562-5536.
Foothills Animal Shelter is starting new sessions of dog training classes in April, for puppies and basic obedience. Both groups will run six consecutive classes, which will take place on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings. Classes start April 21.

For grafitti artist "Bansky," anonymity is everything. But if he wants to collect an Oscar, he may have to finally show his face.
Banksy's debut film, "Exit Through the Gift Shop," is nominated for Best Documentary Feature, but the Academy has informed the artist that, should the film win, he cannot collect it in disguise.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Academy is apparently claiming that allowing Banksy to show up in a mask would invite gatecrashers.
U.S. & World
Recently, an unknown person attempted to auction Banksy's identity on eBay for a starting price of $999,999, but the auction was taken down as it violated the terms of eBay's service.
After "Gift Shop" was nominated, Banksy released a statement saying:
"This is a big surprise. I don't agree with the concept of award ceremonies, but I'm prepared to make an exception for the ones I'm nominated for. The last time there was a naked man covered in gold paint in my house, it was me."

First I must say; a big thank you to our action hero of choice, for his continued updates to STEEM, excellent work Steven!
I have a bit of an issues with 3.9.2 though. When I switch back from full screen to windowed mode, the screens gets all messed up.
The emulator continues to run however and if I switch back to full screen everything is back to normal. But every time after that, that I switch back to windowed the screen is borked. Windowed mode works fine when I start STEEM. The previous versions of the emulator does not have this problem for me. I am using Win10 and the D3D 32-bit version of STEEM.
Another thing; did you merge the "ST Aspect Ratio" setting with the new "ST Monitor" setting? I would like to have this as separate setting, if possible, so I can get a stretched "video like" output for my recordings, without the scanlines.

My family and I have been obsessed with bananas and banana bread, so today I made this Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe which was absolutely incredible! First of all, you don't need a mixer for this recipe. Second, all of the ingredients go in one large mixing bowl so there is not a lot of mess or extra cleanup. I love that this recipe also uses nonfat Greek yogurt because it adds texture and 12 grams of protein. I eliminated one egg and added 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (which is also healthy) and also contributes to this banana bread recipe's soft, smooth texture. If you have tried my Banana Bread with Greek Yogurt recipe, this banana bread is fairly similar with only a few changes, but it's just as good (if not better). Here are a few of my other Banana Bread recipes that look amazing, so enjoy!
