Much to squeal about at Tipsy Pig
I felt like a disoriented oinker as I waddled out of Tipsy Pig in the Marina. The pounding in my head from the cacophony of laughter, clinking glasses and shouted conversation, mixed with the aftermath of a mason jar filled with an old-fashioned, and copious amounts of carbs made me want to stagger straight to bed.
For those who think of an English pub as indulgent and rowdy, this new restaurant fulfills expectations. It's the fourth place from the guys behind Umami, Mamacita and Blue Barn. They know how to tweak a trendy concept and draw in the crowds.
The perception of the experience may break down around age - if you're young and wild, it's a blast; if you're more buttoned-down and north of 30, it could be too intense. One jokester sneaked up on his friends and pounded their wood table so hard that every glass, fork and spoon jumped up and clattered down. The crash and screams could be heard above the din. Raucous laughter is more the rule than the exception. This spirited crowd is fueled by well-made cocktails, beer and pub food that's better than it has to be given the inebriation factor around the bar.
I'd go as far as to say that Sam Josi and Daniel Burckhard are producing some of the best comfort food in the Bay Area, from a luxuriously rich chicken pot pie ($15) filled with chunks of white meat, peas, carrots, turnips and other vegetables, to a beautifully pan-roasted halibut fillet ($21) with baby asparagus, roasted fingerling potatoes, mache and Meyer lemon beurre blanc.
There's a Little Gem Caesar ($8) reinvented with garlic croutons and a creamy dressing with black pepper and shaved Sonoma Jack cheese, and a homey wedge ($9) with cold hunks of lettuce, bacon, tomatoes, crisp shallots and a glaze of blue cheese dressing. It's the type of food that crosses age and sophistication lines, even if it's like dining in the middle of a popular dance club at 2 a.m.
However, there is some salvation: A room behind the bar, with just seven tables, isn't as raucous as the front dining area. It looks like a European-inspired library, with shelves filled with old books and a scarred wood floor, leading to a nicely landscaped back patio. Still, my decibel meter stuck at 90, which is the equivalent to sitting next to a gas-powered lawn mower - and that's the quieter of the rooms. If you can't stand the noise but love this type of food, go early in the evening and early in the week. At other times, wear earplugs.
The food tantalizes with familiar flavors, including one of the best mac and cheeses ($8) on this planet. It's a creamy, gooey mess of Shropshire Blue, Dutch Gouda and white Cheddar, with crumbles of bacon on top. The portion is generous, but I still wanted to hog it all - thus the above-mentioned waddle. I ordered it a second time to make sure I wasn't simply captivated by the moment; it was different pasta, but the same cheesy sauce with smoky bits of bacon.
I'd also go back for the sweet potato fries ($6), with a crisp outside, tender inside, and hint of natural sweetness. The regular fries ($5) aren't too shabby, either, nor are the roasted vegetables ($7), an exceptional mix of turnips, asparagus, potatoes, carrots and other root vegetables, expertly cubed and tossed with rosemary, lemon zest and chile flakes.
The menu is compact, so there are only six big plates, six starters, and five soups and salads, all prodigious and well executed. Like many menus, the categories are a loose network that allows diners to mix and match. The Tipsy sliders ($12) listed as a starter, for example, would be a substantial main course. The slightly sweet and sensually squishy Hawaiian sweet buns are piled with pulled pork braised in Chimay ale, with a crown of red cabbage slaw. They're rich, gooey and wonderful.
Steamed clams ($13), along with some great fries, could also be enough to satisfy a hearty appetite. The clams are piled into a covered bowl with coins of fingerlings, chard and chunks of chorizo in a rich chowder-like cream sauce. Add some bread for dunking and you probably don't even need the fries.
Only three dishes even border on deserving criticism, and the problem was not in the flavoring but in the final execution. The fried chicken breast ($18) with buttermilk mashed potatoes and collard greens was a little dry, as was the maple brined pork chop ($23), though I loved the accompanying drunken apples, Dijon mustard sauce and Yukon gold and Brussels sprouts hash. The Tipsy burger ($12) was cooked more medium well than medium rare, but the meat was still juicy. The burger is also well priced, considering it also includes white Cheddar cheese and caramelized onions on a pain de mie bun, and fries.
It seems almost illogical, but Tipsy Pig also offers a kids' menu with chicken fingers, mac and cheese, mini pot pie and pasta elbows with tomato sauce (all $8). I never saw children there on my visits, but it would be a good place for them because even if they threw a tantrum, no one would be able to hear it.
At times when the place is busy, which is just about always, expect long waits between courses. Waiting gave me a good opportunity to look around, soak in the ambience and enjoy a cocktail. On one visit, I ordered the Corpse Reviver No. 2, which wasn't on the menu, but was familiar to our waiter. A few minutes later, the bartender came over and asked about it; He wasn't familiar with the drink so we turned to our iPhones and came up with a recipe, which he made perfectly - a balanced blend of lemon, gin, Lillet, Cointreau and a generous splash of absinthe.
For such a busy, crazy place, the service is low key and friendly. The staff knows the menu and is able to shout out recommendations. If you order as much food as I always do, the waiters work out the progression of dishes, ensuring that the table is never overloaded with plates. You're on your own in pacing how much you put away.
While the menu isn't for the light of appetite, desserts deserve a second look. I ordered the carrot cake ($8) out of curiosity because I wanted to try the cinnamon sugar parsnips. It was a rich, moist cupcake with cream cheese frosting, a frizzle of the fried root vegetable on top and a scoop of frozen yogurt. The ice cream sandwiches are also excellent, and the PB&J is a clever blend of a warm brownie, thick peanut butter sauce and a scoop of blackberry gelato.
As I staggered out, the manager and waiter collided and a glass of red wine went flying. My jacket suffered collateral damage, but it was all in a night's work. Bloated, deaf and wet, I was still happy.
The wine list
When you think of Tipsy Pig, wine is about the fourth thing that comes to mind, behind food, cocktails and beer. In fact, there's a "Tipsy of the Day," which features a beer such as La Fin du Monde, a triple-fermented brew from Canada ($8), and a cocktail like the Moscow Mule ($9) with vodka, ginger beer and lime.
Eight beers are offered on draft in "piglet" 10-ounce pours, a pint (15 ounces) and Tipsy Pig (20 ounces). In addition, there are 23 bottled beers, listed by country of origin, along with alcohol levels. Among the highest is the Delirium Tremens ($9/$18) from Belgium, which clocks in at 8.5 percent.
Featured cocktails ($9-$10) include the Pickwick Julep ($9), with rye, grapefruit, mint and gum syrup; and the English Fashion ($9), with bourbon, orange marmalade, soda and brandy. On my visits, all were well made and servings were generous.
The wine list features 63 wines, more than one-third offered by the glass. It's a more involved collection of international labels than is needed for the food, and includes Sancerre, Gruner Veltliner, Malbec and Tempranillo. Prices, however, are expensive compared to the food. Only one red, the 2005 Llama Malbec from Argentina ($28) came in under $30, and only five are less than $40.
If you bring your own wine, corkage is $15.

As the world's fourth largest island, Madagascar has a history, culture and ecology all its own. When you travel to Madagascar, you are stepping into a new world, one with beautiful beaches, charming lemurs and majestic baobab trees. Madagascar tourism celebrates both its unique geography and strong local culture, which is as welcoming as it is interesting.
As the world's fourth largest island, Madagascar has a history, culture and ecology all its own. When you travel to Madagascar, you are stepping into a new world, one with beautiful beaches, charming lemurs and majestic baobab trees. Madagascar tourism celebrates both its unique geography and strong local culture, which is as welcoming as it is interesting.
Frolic with lemurs in Andasibe National Park
Perhaps no other animal is as strongly associated with Madagascar as the lemur. The country's seasonal climate and particular ecology have led lemurs to enjoy a species diversity there that rivals that of other primates. In fact, until roughly 2,000 years ago, there were lemurs on the island that grew to be as large as adult male gorillas. Today, there are almost 100 distinct species of the creature, including the ring-tailed lemur, the icon of Madagascar.
Visitors who want to get up close and personal with the charming creatures should make the trek to Andasibe National Park, which has 11 different species of lemur. Guided luxury tours are available that let guests interact with the animals, along with other fantastic creatures such as the Baweng satanic leaf gecko, which blends in with its environment almost perfectly.
Take an invigorating hike through the Tsingys
To really get the blood pumping, set out on a hike through Tsingy de Bemaraha Strict Nature Reserve. The limestone uplands are carved into a number of vertical, "tsingy" peaks, which taken together give the visual impression of an impressive stone forest. Walking through, you not only get the spectacular visual of the Tsingy forest, but also the canyon of the Manambolo river.
The undisturbed beauty of its forests, lakes and mangrove swamps have made it home to a wide range of unique species, such as endangered lemurs and birds. While the hike over and through the sandstone cliffs can be challenging at parts, it is well worth it to see the local flora and fauna. Due to its impressive elegance and rich biodiversity, the reserve was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990.
See the famous Alley of the Baobab trees
If you spend most of your time in a large city, it can be easy to lose site of the utter majesty of nature. Standing in the vicinity of a baobab tree, that magnificence is made apparent, as they can reach heights of nearly 100 feet tall, which, when combined with their unique appearance, provide an experience that is almost spiritual.
Nowhere is this more clear than in the Alley of the Baobab trees, a group of the flora that line the dirt road between Morondova and Belon'i Tsiribihina in Madagascar. The trees in this avenue are up to 800 years old, which means that when you walk under them, you are standing in the same shade as people who lived in a world that you would barely recognize. Originally, these trees were part of a dense forest growth - however, over the years, agriculture stripped away the surrounding foliage, leaving only the baobab, which were revered for their value as a food source and building material. Now, they provide a different sort of reverence, and many local conservation efforts are aimed directly at protecting this link to the ancient world.
Relax on the remote peninsula of Anjajavy
Add some relaxation to travel to Madagascar with an excursion to the remote peninsula of Anjajavy. One of the rare oases left in the world, it is rich in both nature and leisure, making it a must-visit when it comes to luxury Madagascar tourism. Set apart from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Anjajavy has both thick forests teeming with wildlife and beautiful beaches that are perfect for solitude.
Spot unique wildlife
One of the highlights of Madagascar tourism is the chance to get close to unique wildlife. As an island, Madagascar has, for a long time, been isolated from the continents around it. This isolation has led to the development of a very particular ecology, with almost 90 percent of the species in the country not found anywhere else in the world. That means that no matter where you go when you take a tour of Madagascar, you are likely to see something that you would not be able to view on any other sort of trip.
Many of the most stunning animals on the island are endangered, such as the silky sifaka, a large lemur characterized by its long white fur. In addition to lemurs, which are the iconic animals of Madagascar, there are also a number of other of birds, mammals and insects. Visitors can head out to Saint Mary's Island to spot humpback whales, or head to the tropical forest to get a gander at the rare striped civet. Overhead, nearly 300 species of birds soar, more than 100 of which cannot be seen in other skies, such as the slender-billed flufftail.
American and Canadian citizens must have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended return date in order to enter and depart the country. Each traveler is responsible for ensuring that his/her passport is up to date. Citizens of other nationalities should check with respective authorities before departure.
Please ensure that the name on your passport matches all travel documents we have issued. If this is not the case, please contact us immediately. Your passport must have at least one blank page for the entry stamp. This cannot include the 'endorsement' page at the back.
Please make a photocopy of your passport's identification page and keep it separate from your original. It's also a good idea to leave a digital copy with someone at home. This may speed up the replacement process should you lose your passport.
You must have a passport that is valid for at least six months after date of travel and your passport must have at least two blank pages (per country visited) to allow for visa stamps. A visa is required for all foreign citizens visiting Madagascar.
After several years of "no-fee visa" policy for stays shorter than 30 days , the Madagascar government now requires travellers to pay to get their visa no matter how long they plan to stay in the country. This measure is in effect as of December 7th 2015. The fee structure for single entry is as-follow:
These short stay visas can be obtained upon arrival at the port of entry. Payment is made by cash only with the following currencies : Malgasy Ariary, Euros, US Dollars. You should show immigration officers a printed copy of your ticket showing your departure date and your passport should have at least 6 months of validity. The visa can also be obtained from the Embassy of Madagascar serving your territory . Please contact the embassy of Madagascar serving your territory for more details on how to apply.
Cancellation and Medical Insurance is highly recommended as it can safeguard against the expenses associated with in-country medical emergencies, lost or delayed baggage and emergency cancelation or interruption of your trip. Please ensure your policy will provide you with upfront medical coverage so that you are not responsible for a hefty doctor's bill while away. Insurance can be purchased through us.
Currently Required Vaccinations: None
However The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends the following vaccines. See your doctor at least 4-6 weeks before your trip to allow time for them to take effect:
Hepatitis A or immune globulin (IG)Hepatitis B if you might be exposed to blood (for example, health-care workers), have sexual contact with the local population, stay longer than 6 months, or be exposed through medical treatmentRabies, if you come into direct contact with wild or domestic animalsTyphoid, particularly if you are visiting developing countriesBooster doses for tetanus-diphtheria, measles and a one-time dose of polio vaccine for adults, as needed
Malaria: Malaria is always a concern when traveling in Madagascar. As most camps are in remote locations, the chances of contracting malaria are slim, but preventative measures are strongly advised.
Yellow Fever: A Yellow Fever Vaccination Card is required to enter Madagascar if you have traveled to ANY country that has Yellow Fever.
If there are any medical items that are essential to your health, such as prescription drugs or corrective eye wear, bring duplicates and divide them between your checked bags and hand luggage. It is difficult to replace prescription items, especially outside of the capital city.
Recommended Items:
Madagascar has two seasons: the hot, rainy season from November to April, and a cooler, dry season from May to October. Though the overall climate is a tropical one, the country has a great variation in climate depending on elevation and position relative to dominant winds. The east coast is home to the heaviest rainfalls and hot, humid weather. Antananarivo receives almost all of its rainfall between November and March, and sees pleasant and sunny temperatures with chilly mornings in the dry season. Frost is common at higher elevations.
For up-to-date forecasts, check weather.com
Electricity in Madagascar is supplied at 220-240V and 50Hz. For the most part, round two-pin plugs are used. We advise not to bring a hair dryer as it could blow a fuse.
Phone: Your cell phone will work in most areas while in Madagascar, however, roaming can be quite expensive so we do strongly recommend that you pre-purchase a data and roaming plan with your carrier before travel. Or simply opt to use phones on-site at your accommodations or purchase minutes and ask to use your driver's phone for any immediately required phone calls.
Internet: Internet cafes are becoming increasingly popular in the city centres in Madagascar, and it is possible to find internet connections in different areas around the city. Speed is generally quite slow though. Please note that wi-fi and internet service provided in properties is at the discretion of each establishment and Kensington Tours has no control over this. Please feel free to check with your Sales Consultant before travel if you'd like to know internet set up at each of your properties or contact the properties directly so you are aware of their internet policy if this is important to you. You may like to speak to your internet provider prior to travel to arrange a roaming package.
The currency in Madagascar is the Malagsy Ariary (MGA). Coins are issued in denominations of 1/5, 2/5, 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, and 50 ariary. Bank notes are issued in denominations of 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, and 10000 ariary.

Is there a limit to the minimun sample size in running a EFA (and CFA)using MPLUS. i have a sample of 97 just concern if it will have a problem with statistical power of the outcome.If any

It depends on the model. One way to determine this is to do a Monte Carlo simulation. See the following paper which is available on the website:
Muthén, L.K. & Muthén, B.O. (2002). How to use a Monte Carlo study to decide on sample size and determine power. Structural Equation Modeling, 4, 599-620.
posted on Wednesday, January 01, 2014 - 10:41 am
Hello. I am having trouble trying to figure out the best way to analyze my data. I have a 16 item instrument with dichotomous indicators (the indicators are observations of whether or not a task was completed by a health provider). The scale was used to observe the actions of the same health provider with one to more than one patient. I have 162 observations.
I had originally drawn out a latent factor model that has 7 sub-factors that can be observed through an observation checklist. Because more missing data than I had hoped, it looks like I can only use 16 items in my analysis rather than 25.
I had planned to start with CFA to test the factor model but now I think I won't have an indicator for each of the sub-factors so I'll have to do EFA instead. I had also planned to do structural equation modeling to look at background characteristics of the health providers and their relationship to the factors I end up with but unfortunately because of the data quality issues, I will only be able to link the health provider characteristics with about 60 observations—which I realize will not be enough.
I don't know if my sample size is large enough even for EFA? Or maybe there's something else I should be doing with this data? My original intention was to develop a scale (of less than 16 observable dichotomous items) to measure a latent variable. I'm trying to figure out the next best option. Thank you so much for any advice you can provide!

Census Records for New Mexico
This entry was originally written by Karen Stein Daniel, CG and Margaret Windham for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
Population Schedules
• Indexed'1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930
• Soundex'1880, 1900, 1920
Union Veterans Schedules
• 1890
In addition to sources for all federal censuses, microfilmed population schedules and available printed indexes of all New Mexico federal censuses are located at the New Mexico State Records Center and Archives, and the Special Collections Library (see New Mexico Archives, Libraries, and Societies). The Albuquerque Genealogical Society is in the process of compiling an every-name index to the 1910 census for each New Mexico county. Completed counties are published and available at the Special Collections Library.
Available in print is:
Windham, Margaret Leonard, ed. New Mexico 1850 Territorial Census. 4 vols. Albuquerque: New Mexico Genealogical Society, 1976.
Native American Schedules
Native American schedules prior to 1880 are incomplete and contain inaccuracies. From 1885 to 1940, Native American censuses were taken regularly but not annually. Surviving records vary by tribe. The researcher should consult National Archives sources for details.
Colonial and State
Numerous Spanish and Mexican colonial censuses can be found at the New Mexico State Records Center and Archives. Originals are in Spanish, but the following have been published:
- Olmsted, Virginia L., comp. Spanish and Mexican Censuses of New Mexico, 1750 to 1830. Albuquerque: New Mexico Genealogical Society, 1981.
- ____, trans. and comp. Spanish and Mexican Colonial Censuses of New Mexico, 1790, 1823, 1845. Albuquerque: New Mexico Genealogical Society, 1979. (Contains corrections of the 1975 edition, as well as new material.)
Copies are available at the Special Collections Library at the University of New Mexico, Family History Centers in Albuquerque, and many other locations.
The New Mexico State Records Center and Archives also holds the 1885 state census, which was actually a federally taken census and includes all members of the household. Some schedules are missing and others are illegible. It is available through the Special Collections Library at the University of New Mexico, the National Archives, the FHL, and other locations.

MSI brings ultra-skinny laptop to Blighty
X600 takes on Air
MSI has formally launched its MacBook Air-alike X600 skinny laptop in the UK, releasing two models: one with an optical drive and one without.
Actually, neither has a built-in DVD burner, it's just that one model, the X600-055UK, comes bundled with an external unit. Priced at £799, it's £200 more than the X600-067UK.
MSI's X600: MacBook Air skinny but with better connectivity
In addition to the optical drive, the price differential gets you a bigger hard drive - 500GB to the cheaper model's 320GB unit - and a faster processor. The X600-055 has an ultra-low voltage Core 2 Duo SU9600 which runs at 1.6GHz, has 3MB of L2 cache and is dubbed a CULV (Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage) part by Intel. The X600-067 is said to have an ultra-low voltage "SU7200" part, but this doesn't appear on Intel's price list. It's a 1.3GHz Pentium SU7200, we think.
The X600-055 comes with 4GB of DDR 2 memory - the X600-067 has 3GB.
Unlike the 13in Air, the X600s come with a 15.6in display with a 1680 x 1050 resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio. They have an AMD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 graphics chip with 512MB of DDR 2 video memory.
The laptops have three USB ports, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI and VGA.
MSI said they measure just 9mm at their thinnest point - but that rises to 25mm at the thickest. The X600s weigh 2.1kg.
The two models should be available any day now. ®

Enjoying Air balloon rides is something anyone can participate in, but it is also a very popular way to celebrate a birthday! When you speak with the company you are considering riding with, always to ask how many other passengers will be flying with you.
When it is time for your flight, your pilot will offer to let you help with the assembly and inflation of the balloon. Go ahead and do it - it adds to the fun!
Why can't I get a balloon ride in the middle of the day?
Balloons fly early in the morning, right after sunrise and late in the day, right before sunset. This is when the wind is calmest since the sun is low in the sky. The wind is generally too unpredictable, with severe up-and down-drafts, during the middle of the day. It isn't safe to offer balloon rides when the wind is unstable.

The USS Gerald R. Ford is the most expensive weapon ever created and will run about $11.5 billion, with three ships costing about $40.2 billion.
Even given these generous estimates, the Navy figures that the USS Gerald R. Ford could cost as much as $1.1 billion more than planned, making it far and away the service's most expensive warship.
Tony Capaccio at Bloomberg reports the Ford's rising costs were first noticed in August when planners understood their worst-case assessment would put the carrier at about 21 percent over its target cost (via Hampton Roads).
Currently being assembled in Newport News, Virginia, the Ford-class will replace the Nimitz-class carriers and will include an array of new technology.
- Advanced arresting gear used to grab planes as they land on the deck.
- Automation, which reduces crew requirements by several hundred from the Nimitz class carrier.
- The updated RIM-162 Evolved Sea Sparrow missile system.
- AN/SPY-3 dual-band radar (DBR), as developed for Zumwalt class destroyers.
- An Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) in place of traditional steam catapults for launching aircraft.
- A new nuclear reactor design (the A1B reactor) for greater power generation.
- Stealthier features to help reduce radar profile.
- The ability to launch the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, EA-18G Growler, and the F-35C Lightning II.
With fewer crew and the most modern equipment, the Navy hopes to reduce the cost of future carriers while an improved design of the ship's "island" will allow more sorties to be flown per day than before.
The Ford is expected to hit the water in 2015, with a 10 carrier fleet hoped for by 2040.

Major U.S. technology companies have largely ended the practice of quietly complying with investigators' demands for email records and other online data, saying that users have a right to know in advance when their information is targeted for government seizure.
This increasingly defiant industry stand is giving some of the tens of thousands of Americans whose Internet data gets swept into criminal investigations each year the opportunity to fight in court to prevent disclosures. Prosecutors, however, warn that tech companies may undermine cases by tipping off criminals, giving them time to destroy vital electronic evidence before it can be gathered.
Fueling the shift is the industry's eagerness to distance itself from the government after last year's disclosures about National Security Agency surveillance of online services. Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Google all are updating their policies to expand routine notification of users about government data seizures, unless specifically gagged by a judge or other legal authority, officials at all four companies said. Yahoo announced similar changes in July.
As this position becomes uniform across the industry, U.S. tech companies will ignore the instructions stamped on the fronts of subpoenas urging them not to alert subjects about data requests, industry lawyers say. Companies that already routinely notify users have found that investigators often drop data demands to avoid having suspects learn of inquiries.
"It serves to chill the unbridled, cost-free collection of data," said Albert Gidari, a partner at Perkins Coie who represents several technology companies. "And I think that's a good thing."
The Justice Department disagrees, saying in a statement that new industry policies threaten investigations and put potential crime victims in greater peril.
"These risks of endangering life, risking destruction of evidence or allowing suspects to flee or intimidate witnesses are not merely hypothetical, but unfortunately routine," department spokesman Peter Carr said, citing a case in which early disclosure put at risk a cooperative witness in a case. He declined to offer details because the case was under seal.
The changing tech company policies do not affect data requests approved by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which are automatically kept secret by law. National security letters, which are administrative subpoenas issued by the FBI for national security investigations, also carry binding gag orders.
The government traditionally has notified people directly affected by searches and seizures — though often not immediately — when investigators entered a home or tapped a phone line. But that practice has not survived the transition into the digital world. Cellular carriers such as AT&T and Verizon typically do not tell customers when investigators collect their call data.
Many tech companies once followed a similar model of quietly cooperating with law enforcement. Courts, meanwhile, ruled that it was sufficient for the government to notify the providers of Internet services of data requests, rather than the affected customers.
Twitter, founded in 2006, became perhaps the first major tech company to routinely notify users when investigators collected data, yet few others followed at first. When the Electronic Frontier Foundation began issuing its influential "Who Has Your Back?" report in 2011 — rating companies on their privacy and transparency policies — Twitter was the only company to get a star under the category "Tell users about data demands." Google, the next most highly rated, got half a star from the civil liberties group.
The following year, four other companies got full stars. The preparation of this year's report, due in mid-May, has prompted a new flurry of activity in the legal offices of tech companies eager to gain a coveted star.
Google already routinely notified users of government data requests but adopted an updated policy this week detailing the few situations in which notification is withheld, such as when there is imminent risk of physical harm to a potential crime victim. "We notify users about legal demands when appropriate, unless prohibited by law or court order," the company said in a statement.
Lawyers at Apple, Facebook and Microsoft are working on their own revisions, company officials said, although the details have not been released. All are moving toward more routinely notifying users, said the companies, which had not previously disclosed these changes.
"Later this month, Apple will update its policies so that in most cases when law enforcement requests personal information about a customer, the customer will receive a notification from Apple," company spokeswoman Kristin Huguet said.
The trend toward greater user notification gained new urgency amid the government surveillance revelations made by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. Although the bulk data collection he disclosed was for national security purposes, not routine criminal investigations, companies grew determined to show that they prized their relationships with customers more than those with authorities — a particularly sensitive issue overseas, where the American tech industry has been lambasted as too cozy with the U.S. government.
The changing legal standards of technology companies most directly affect federal, state and local criminal investigators, who have found that companies increasingly balk at data requests once considered routine. Most now refuse to disclose the contents of emails or social media posts when presented with subpoenas, insisting that the government instead seek search warrants, which are issued only by judges and require the stricter legal standard of probable cause.
Subpoenas, by contrast, can be issued by a broader range of authorities and require only that the information sought be deemed "relevant" to an investigation. A 2010 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit backed the industry's contention that search warrants should be required for digital content, a standard now widely accepted.
The shifting industry practices force investigators to make difficult choices: withdraw data requests, allow notification to happen or go to magistrate judges to seek either gag orders or search warrants, which typically are issued under seal for a fixed period of time, delaying notification.
Such choices were made even more difficult by the rising skepticism of magistrate judges, many of whom in recent years have scrutinized such requests more carefully or rejected them altogether, legal experts say.

What Is Wireless DSL?
I'm often asked the question, what is wireless DSL? I'll attempt to answer it with this article.
Put simply, wireless DSL is an Internet connection that you make using radio signals rather than traditional wires. The high speed/bandwidth is very comparable to traditional DSL as well as cable modem Internet access. Wireless DSL is a relatively new technology, although it is very robust. This technology makes use of airwaves to connect customers. One advantage that wireless DSL has is that the Internet access is up to 8 times faster than other technologies such as the regular copper wire used by your local telephone company or the coaxial cable that your local cable provider employs.
The principle of this technology is the same that has been used by radio stations all across the country for years. A connection can originate any where in an entire state, but it can easily be heard by any one with a radio even if they're miles away from the originating point of the signal. The same holds true of your internet access.
What are the major benefits of wireless DSL? There are three compelling reasons that make wireless DSL a great choice for internet access.
- Wireless Internet access is up to 8 times faster than conventional DSL services and up to 20 times faster than cable Internet services.
- Wireless Internet access is a point-to-point connectivity, which allows faster authentication on servers.
- Wireless Internet is a new but proven technology, which allows the user to get more services than regular DSL or cable connections.
Basic installation in general costs around $350m but will vary according to specials. This fee includes the radio, antenna, router and mounting hardware. Please keep in mind that each installation is a bit different and quotes are provided for each site prior to installation. Thus prices may vary from case to case.
When you decide to try out wireless DSL, you will have to inform the providing company about it and it will be followed by a Site Survey by the technicians of the company. The technicians will assess the situation and then offer you various options based on your Internet needs.
How can I connect to wireless DSL?
You can access your wireless DSL connection via a wireless dsl modem. Wireless DSL modems vary in price and quality, but ActionTec modems are popular and cost less than $75.
Wireless DSL providers
- PeoplePC: Since 1999 the company is providing high quality, low cost Internet access nationwide. They offer Smart Dialer technology for the best and most reliable connections. There is customer care and technical support to help you at all times.
- NetZero: NetZero offers easy-to-use, reliable Internet service with thousands of access numbers nationwide, fast connections, feature-rich email and Email on the Web, and instant messaging compatible with AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ and Yahoo.
- Verizon: This company offers unlimited high speed broadband with a 30-day money-back guarantee. MSN Premium Internet Software comes with it.
Wireless DSL is definitely an option for those seeking high-speed broadband access. It's an affordable and effective way to access the internet. For those who have multiple wireless devices, it can be a cost-effective solution that trumps its competitors.

For a given function:
Plot[Sqrt[Abs[x]], {x, -Pi, Pi}]
I have the code to draw the function (with its Abs remove), partial sums and cesaro means as:
f[x_] := Sqrt[x]
s[k_, x_] := \frac{2\sqrt{\pi}}{3}+(-Sqrt[2] FresnelS[Sqrt[2] Sqrt[n]] + 2 Sqrt[n] Sin[n \[Pi]])/(n^(3/2) Sqrt[\[Pi]]) Cos[n x], {n, 1, k}]
partialsums[x_] = Table[s[n, x], {n, {4}}];
c[n_, x_] := (1/n) Sum[s[m, x], {m, 0, n - 1}]
Plot[Evaluate[{f[x], partialsums[x], c[4, x]}], {x, -Pi, Pi},
PlotLegends -> {"f(x)=x", "Fourier, 4 terms", "Cesaro, 4 terms"},
PlotStyle -> {{Blue}, {Dashed, Thickness[0.006]}, {Red, Thickness[0.006]}}]
This code fails on my computer and hence I resolve to manual computation.
Updates: It turn out that I can easily solve this issue by removing the k with any number rather than letting it to be indefinite. Although I am not certain the graph is right for k=4 as both graphs(Partial and Cesaro) coincides with each other.

Sanho Tree
Author Bio
IPS Fellow Sanho Tree is director of the Drug Policy Project, which works to end the domestic and international "War on Drugs" and replace it with policies that promote public health and safety, as well as economic alternatives to the prohibition drug economy. The intersection of race and poverty in the drug war is at the heart of the project's work. In recent years the project has focused on the attendant "collateral damage" caused by the United States exporting its drug war to Colombia and Afghanistan. Establishing humane and sustainable alternatives to the drug war fits into the IPS mandate as one of the major contemporary social justice issues at home and abroad. He was featured in the ABC/John Stossel documentary on the drug war and has also appeared on Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher. Currently, he serves on the boards of Witness for Peace and the Andean Information Network.
Mr. Tree is also a former military and diplomatic historian and he has collaborated in the past with Dr. Gar Alperovitz on The Decision to Use the Atomic Bomb and the Architecture of an American Myth (Knopf, 1995). From 1996-97, he assisted entertainer Harry Belafonte and continues to work as an occasional consultant for him on international issues. He was also associate editor of CovertAction Quarterly, an award-winning magazine of investigative journalism. In the late 1980s he worked at the International Human Rights Law Group.

Does DPI/PPI Matter for Panoramas?
Short answer
Long Answer
First, before we go further, let's define our terms.
Pixel - all digital images are composed of pixels ("picture elements") - they are the smallest unit of detail within an image. To properly understand how much image data is in an image you must refer to the number of pixels. For instance, one can easily determine that a 3000x2400 pixel image has significantly more image data than a 640x480 pixel image. Expressing pixel counts - whether by dimensions (3000x2400) or absolute pixel counts (10 megapixels, or 10 million pixels) - is the only relevant, deterministic way of discussing the "size" of a digital image
DPI = dots per inch. This is a common printers term, and refers to the number of *dots* a printer can lay down within a linear inch. A dot is the smallest unit of ink that can be layed down on paper, and is not equivalent to a pixel - a single pixel may generate multiple dots (as, for instance, you'd get if you fed a 300ppi image to a 1440dpi printer). DPI values associated with an image are essentially metadata - it provides additional context (print size) to the image data but does not directly affect the image data itself.
PPI = pixels per inch. Confusingly similar to DPI, PPI is also a relative unit which determines the physical size of a pixel, so by knowing the pixe dimensions (3000x2400) and a PPI (300ppi), we can define the output size (in this case, 10x8 inches).
Imagine a chess board as a simplified digital image - it is an 8x8 grid of squares, so it has an absolute pixel dimension of 8x8, or 64 pixels. It's easy to see that whether the chessboard is 8 inches (1 pixel, or square, per inch) across, or 80 feet (1 pixel per foot), it contains the exact same amount of data - 64 pixels worth.
Back to the question
When producing panoramas, our source images are often assigned a ppi value by our camera or RAW processor. This value, often 72ppi or 300ppi, is completely arbitrary. Once we've run our images through stitching software, we often see the PPI value has been changed - usually reset to a default of 72ppi. This causes concern by those who notice this change, that somehow the image now has fundamentally less image data than, for instance, if it had stayed at 300ppi. In fact, all that has happened is a simple piece of metadata has been lost - the underlying image data is exactly the same.
For the purposes of posting images online, or displaying in other digital mediums (DVD, CD-ROM, PDAs, etc), the ppi value is not even considered. All that matters for digital display is the absolute number of pixels. For people targeting these environments, do not worry about your image's PPI.
For people targeting printed output, you'll need to adjust the PPI, and possibly the pixel dimensions (by "scaling") of your image using an image editor such as Photoshop in order to match both the PPI and physical dimensions of your output.
So, in a nutshell
The change in PPI during stitching does nothing to impact your image quality. If you're producing for print, you may have to re-set the PPI after stitching.

You'll often hear California commentators talk about how voters don't understand how the state works, and those commentators are right.
What you don't often hear is that many experts -- including the people we elect to govern us -- don't understand how state government works either.
But last week, Gov. Jerry Brown let the cat out of the bag. In a visit to the Sacramento Bee editorial board, he acknowledged that the complexity of government has become too much for, well, just about everyone.
U.S. & World
"We're doing a lot, and it's at a level of complexity that mere mortals most of the time don't understand, and it's mostly experts that give us our talking points, and then we talk our points," Brown was quoted as saying by the Bee.
"It's disquieting to me, because how do you run a country or a state or a city when most of the people in charge don't really have a deep grounding of what they have to deal with? And it's just getting more and more complicated."
Brown's right of course, which is why the governor and others should be less focused on complicated tax and budget proposals -- and more on systemic reform that makes the rules of governing much simpler.
In California, elites, while not understanding what they are doing, see intent on doing it. Whether they are conservatives seeking spending limits or liberals seeking tax increases or moderates seeking good-government reforms, everyone keeps throwing new complexity on the system, even though they can't possibly know the results of their tasks.
Everyone needs to pull back and dismantle the system, instead of adding more initiatives and provisions to it. The bloated state constitution should be replaced with a much shorter and simpler document.
The complex budget formulas and mandates and supermajorities should be stripped away. And elections should be made simple, with representation awarded to parties based on their share of the votes.
The goal should be a system that the average Californian can understand. And if that goal can be reached, we might settle for a system that those who govern us understand.

Sometimes it is painful to throw away expired coupons. That might sound crazy to someone who isn't into couponing, but believe me, I understand! After you've been through the effort to clip, sort and file your coupon into your binder, it hurts to pull it out a month or two later, realizing that it has expired.
However, I certainly do not recommend using a coupon for an item simply because it will expire. Sometimes people buy unnecessary things that they otherwise would not purchase but feel compelled to buy because the coupon is expiring. Unless you plan to donate the grocery item, I would rather see you toss an expired coupon than spend unneccesary money out of guilt.
There is another option, though- donating your coupons to Coupons for the Troops! In overseas military bases, coupons can be used for up to six months past expiration. I have been told that the coupons are very welcome, particularly food coupons.
People frequently ask me at workshops how to donate the coupons. You can mail them, but this could add up and become expensive. There is a local option here in New Hanover County- the local Senior Resource Center. The address is 2222 S. College Rd., 28403 Attn: Ashley Huffman. The center is located near the intersection of Shipyard and College Road. If you have questions or need directions, call 798-6400. There is also a web site with additional info here.
You can drop the coupons there or mail them and they will be glad to have them!
Thank you, Teresa, from my New Hanover County Employees workshop for the address and information!

Wirefly is the best place for business owners and IT managers to compare business internet service in Newfields, NH. Businesses cannot succeed without an internet connection in today's world. Even when the company doesn't do business through the internet, a connection is still important. Many employers require email and online messaging for vital communications. Even customers use the internet to reach out to a business with questions, which is often the easiest route. Customers can send emails; which companies can also respond to later. This is more convenient than a customer help line, as an employee is required to be present 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To find the best internet service provider in Newfields, NH, businesses can compare providers at Wirefly.

Just in the past 20 years, ISPs have taken a significantly better initiative to meet the needs of businesses in Newfields, NH. Currently, ISPs continue to evolve and develop new solutions that are conducive to business success and productivity. Before making a choice about an ISP switch, it's crucial to do your research.
The most common internet connection methods used by business internet providers are cable, fiber optic, DSL, satellite, and T1. Fixed wireless internet is also becoming more commonplace, as it is a type of internet delivered to a specific area by signals rather than wires or lines.
Additionally, business ISPs in Newfields, NH specialize in much more than just internet access. Often times, their most popular products are bundles, or packages including additional services such as telephone service, internet hosting, email hosting, and more. There are many different types of bundles that can satisfy both your business type and budget.
Before making a selection, it's a good idea to ensure that an ISP can dispatch a consultant to your location so that he/she can correctly assess your needs. He/she will look for areas in your business operation that could use a boost in efficiency and could benefit from their services. For example, a consultant might recommend that you upgrade your existing equipment or advise you on the amount of bandwidth necessary for your business.
Long upload and download hours due to a slow internet connection may be frustrating. Furthermore, the business stands to make some losses. It is not advisable for a business to choose low speeds to save money because such an action is not aligned with the company's interests. The main reason for purchasing business internet in Newfields, NH is to facilitate smooth connectivity during peak hours and when there are many devices connected to the web.
A business should inquire about throttling and bandwidth caps when considering speed and internet bandwidth. You should ask whether the ISP company has any restrictions on downloads during different times of the day. Some ISPs have limitations that are hidden in the contract form.
A business should always go for an internet provider that provides security protection. The best ISP companies in Newfields, NH offer their customers anti-spam, anti-malware, anti-spyware, anti-defense, and anti-virus software. Make sure that you know the amount of protection provided by the internet provider. Moreover, inquire whether the company offers protection to mobile devices that connect to the system. It is vital for a system to have backup capabilities. If the system crashes, the backup feature ensures that your business does not lose any file that was stored on the network. It automatically restores all your data. The main types of backups are cloud-based and workplace backups.
Though ISPs normally provide assistance, companies that depend on the Internet for their service necessitate additional support. A company has more to lose if an Internet slowdown occurs. A secure Internet connection will guarantee sales and keep staff productive.
A business should utilize a business ISP in Newfields, NH that provides a Service Level Agreement. This type of agreement ensures uninterrupted up-time or something similar. The company should pay attention to solutions offered if the Internet connection is interrupted. The prevailing countermeasure offered is a credit off the bill if the Internet breaks down for a certain length of time. In addition, an ISP should be asked about support phone lines for businesses and how efficient their tech department is when handling issues.
Another crucial point deals with comprehending what has previously worked for other ISP subscribers. Wirefly assists businesses with comparing business Internet plans in Newfields, NH. Occasionally, a new service provider may arise and give the impression that they will provide the best service. This is why it is important for a business to do their homework, as they may easily settle for less than they need or deserve. Suggestions founded on experience is priceless.
You may find that you are somewhat limited with internet provider choices in Newfields, NH because of your geographical location. Still, choose who you do use carefully in order to get the most for your money. Find out if your ISP is prepared to coincide with any changes in the tech world as the internet changes and evolves. A reputable company should change and expand their services to meet any changes in the future.
The IPv6 is a new development that is one example of changes to the internet. This change is ready to replace those who use IPv4. IPv6 will offer a company the use of an unlimited amount of different IP addresses, as more and more devices will have the capability of having internet connections in the future. Having a unique address will make it easier in the long run to configure new devices. Businesses won't have to pay as much to connect to the internet. It is always important to consider these different factors when looking for the best ISP for your company. Just a few inquiries could help lower business costs.

Website Development (3)
Website DevelopmentWritten by Dorothy Firsching
Ursa Major's website development process focuses on understanding your:
- Goals and Objectives for the Site
- Audiences and Messages
- Business Functions Needed
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Marketing Plans
We have experience defining requirements for enterprise level projects requiring integration of custom and off-the-shelf products, and supporting competitive procurement of solutions meeting those requirements, but less extensive website development projects follow a simple process.
Simple Sites
We review your existing site or any background material you can provide, and then conduct a structured interview process with you. We use a standard questionnaire, customized with what we already know about the project, to save time and make sure that we get the information we need. We use this information to develop a proposal to formalize our agreement.
We ask you to organize and provide us all content you already have for the site, including any logos, photos or other graphics, color choices, etc. that you want to have included. We review your existing site, including your plans for change, your hosting, and your current site traffic and SEO status, as applicable.
We then proceed to develop an initial site map and wireframe or set of wireframes for discussion and approval. Using that input, graphic design is done and/or a template is selected (if an off-the-shelf template is close to what is desired). Using an off-the-shelf template with a few tweaks may provide a great look and functionality for minimal cost.*
The flexibility of content management systems such as Joomla! and Wordpress means that navigation can be prototyped with a subset of actual content examples, while some graphic design decisions are still being made. Seeing is believing, and navigating real content stimulates further discussion of ways to enhance the site or the user experience.
Upon completion, we will do a full site review to test and correct any errors and ensure that the site meets your requirements. We'll ask that you then do the same, and let us know of any other changes that are needed. Scope management may dictate that some enhancements be delegated to a waiting list, but the productivity of Joomla! often means that a few extra features may be accommodated on the spot. We document what we have done and provide orientation and training of your staff, as agreed, so that they can add content as needed without relying on a developer.
We will host your site, recommend hosting, or use your current hosting. If desired, we will be available to support your SEO and site security.
More Complex Projects
While we love the productivity of Joomla! and WordPress, and the wide range of off-the-shelf widgets and components (particularly for Joomla!), some projects may need other tools or custom development. We will evaluate alternatives and provide you with our recommendations, staff the project appropriately, and incorporate the necessary quality assurance and testing into our project management plan. We will demonstrate the site on our test server so that adjustments can be made as appropriate.
Even for Joomla and Wordpress, note that the flexibility of templates varies, and customization of an existing template vs. development of a new, custom tempate presents real tradeoffs. When you're not exactly sure of what you want, letting us know examples of any sites you like (and what you like about them) is very helpful. We will have to help you know what to look for in templates. These days, the focus is increasingly on responsive design, and many currently available templates are not fully responsive. It all depends on what you need.
We have experience with e-commerce sites. Please contact us with your requirements.
The Joomla! Content Management SystemWritten by Dorothy Firsching
Joomla! is an open source content management system (CMS) that allows users to update and add content without extensive knowledge of html and web coding. This means that changes and updates can be made and reviewed immediately, rather than being sent to a web developer. Business people are in control of their website contents!
Joomla! is used all over the world for everything from simple websites to complex corporate applications including data reporting tools, inventory control systems, complex business directories, integrated e-commerce systems, product catalogs,etc. Joomla! is highly extensible, having more than 8000 extensions, most of which are either free under the GPL license, or low cost.This makes it quite a productivity tool for developers. The functions you are looking for can probably be implemented quickly and easily.
The latest versions of Joomla! greatly expand access control granularity, category hierarchy, and other functions making it even easier to customize access to content for your site members, employee or customer groups, etc. Responsive designs work with the current proliferation of mobile devices. Let us show you how!
Ursa Major has more than 15 years web development experience including more than 6 years of experience with Joomla! Ursa Major was one of the founders of the Northern Virginia Joomla! Users Group (JUG), and was an organizer of the very successful JoomlaDay DC 2010, hosted at Microsoft facilities in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Dorothy Firsching is currently an officer of the JUG. Some of the very best Joomla! experts are available through the JUG and our contacts. Contact us to discuss how Joomla! can meet your needs!
If you are interested in Joomla!, please join our JUG. Upcoming meetings can be found at http://www.meetup.com/novajoomla.
Ursa Major's WebsitesWritten by Dorothy Firsching
Ursa Major Consulting has been involved in website development for many years, initially with hard-coded html and later using tools such as Dreamweaver and Cold Fusion. Typically, sites were built in conjunction with a given project, but some live on.
When WordPress became available, we began to use it. We watched Mambo's evolution, and loved Joomla! 1.0. Joomla! has come a very long way, now, and it has gotten better and better.
Joomla is one of the world's most popular software packages used to build, organize, manage and publish content for websites, blogs, Intranets and mobile applications. It is free and open source. Its overall design enables great productivity. Owing to its scalable architecture its also a great base to build web applications. It is famously extensible, with thousands of add-on components available, and it is natively responsive. Today, it can even be administered via smartphone.
So while we still consider websites a supporting tool to achieve a broader objective, we also love to create them. Give us a call if we can help you.

My name is Rachael Woodard. I manage The Coupon Clippers.
I'm glad that you decided to come to our web site and check it out! I hope you'll be delighted and enjoy looking through all that we have to offer.
Just a little about me: I am "My Kid's Mom", but I also happen to run this business out of my home. It makes for a very busy life here, but I thoroughly enjoy it. Six of us live in this house, where we have built a mother-in-law apartment so my MIL could live with us. However, she passed away unexpectedly in March of 2009. My husband, Ken, is pastor of Temple Baptist Church, a small independent Baptist Church in Dade City. We have considered ourselves as church planters and with it comes a small salary. Hence, the need for a job for me!
We have four children, two of whom I am still homeschooling. Sarah, age 22, just graduated from Bob Jones University, majoring in Family and Consumer Science. She is spending her summer at The Anchorage Christian Camp in NC. Andy, 20, is a junior at Bob Jones University and is finally going to get his fill of music. He is majoring in Bible and spending the summer of 2011 on the Musical Ministry team, singing and playing the trumpet all over Europe with a team of 27 others who enjoy ministering in music. Peter, 18, is a senior in high school and delights in coming up with witty sayings on a regular basis. Steven, 16, is my techno genius, knowing just enough to make him dangerous!! Each of my kids is unique and has made a wonderful contribution to the Woodard household. Each one has learned to work hard through TCC. Home-schooling is a real joy to me, though it's HARD WORK for me, as the mom, because, even though we use BJU Distance Learning, it seems to be all on my shoulders as to how well the kids do. But, I love having the kids around and they are a huge help here at TCC.
Well, that's about it for us. If you want to share a little something about your life, go ahead, on your first order. I try to get to know you and enjoy this very much! Life can get hectic and if you try to call sometimes and get a busy signal, chances are, I'm trying to take a respite from all the busyness of everything and take a breather! If that happens, just email me your order, I'll get it. No need to call, really. The emails are fed to us continuously throughout the day through the use of a DSL line! Every ten minutes, 24/7, I have them fed into my In Box!
Have a good day! Enjoy it! Spend your money wisely! Invest in coupons. Your money will double and triple and quadruple itself! After all, our goal here is to promote being a wise steward....and certainly careful shopping with coupons is a wonderful way to be a wise steward and hence, to glorify the Lord! Have a great day!
