UN Security Council meets on Ukraine crisis
The US ambassador to the United Nations on Thursday accused Moscow of having 'outright lied' about its role in Ukraine, as alarmed members of the Security Council demanded that Russia remove its fighters from a new front in the unfolding crisis in Ukraine.world Updated: Aug 29, 2014 03:26 IST
The US ambassador to the United Nations on Thursday accused Moscow of having "outright lied" about its role in Ukraine, as alarmed members of the Security Council demanded that Russia remove its fighters from a new front in the unfolding crisis in Ukraine.
Council members at the emergency meeting heard from a top UN official that the spread of violence in southeastern Ukraine marked a dangerous escalation, but that the international body had no way of independently verifying the latest reports of Russia sending in troops and tanks.
The latest meeting came hours after a top Ukrainian official Thursday said two columns of Russian tanks and military vehicles fired missiles from Russia at a Ukraine border post, then rolled into the country. That opened a new front in the war in eastern Ukraine between pro-Russia separatists and the new Ukrainian government.
US Ambassador Samantha Power said Russia "has manipulated. It has obfuscated. It has outright lied," reminding the council that the meeting was "the 24th session to try to rein in Russia's aggressive acts in the Ukraine."
"Every single one has sent a straightforward, unified message: 'Russia, stop this conflict. Russia is not listening,'" she said, adding that Russia's force along the border is the largest it's been since it started deploying there in late May.
Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin offered a spirited defence, saying Kiev "is waging war against its own people."
Churkin did not deny the presence of Russian fighters.
"There are Russian volunteers in eastern parts of Ukraine. No one is hiding that," he said. But he questioned the presence of Western advisers and asked where Ukrainian troops were getting weapons.
Churkin said he wanted to "send a message to Washington: Stop interfering in the internal affairs of sovereign states."
Moscow has been virtually isolated in the two dozen previous Security Council meetings on the Ukrainian crisis, but because of Russia's veto power as one of the council's five permanent members, the body has been unable to act.
Statements from NATO, Ukranian President Petro Poroshenko, the separatists, the United States and the president of the Security Council left no doubt that Russia had crossed the border into Ukraine. The various statements cited internal reports, satellite imagery of armoured vehicles and even photographs from Russian troops, including one by a soldier who showed himself operating military hardware.
As of Thursday, the separatist arsenal included up to 100 tanks, 80 armored personnel carriers; 500 anti-tank weapons, and more than 100 artillery pieces, said British Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant, the council president this month. Russia has directly supplied almost all of this equipment throughout the conflict, Lyall Grant added.
"Now we see irrefutable evidence of regular Russian forces operating inside Ukraine," he said.
The new southeastern front raised fears that the separatists are seeking to create a land link between Russia and Crimea, which Russia annexed in March.
UN Undersecretary-General of Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman told council members the latest developments mark a "dangerous escalation in the conflict" but that the UN could not verify on its own the latest reports of Russian troops inside Ukraine.
Ukraine's deputy ambassador to the UN, Oleksandr Pavlichenko, wondered aloud if the world will ignore the apparent invasion or act.
"How many more red lines have to be crossed before this challenge can be addressed?" Pavlichenko asked the council.
As the final council member spoke, the German mission to the UN tweeted, "All but one #UNSC members condemn recent military escalation, call for restraint. Just one member has very different narrative."

Arrived at Dodger Stadium this afternoon for the Press Conferences of Joe Torre and Ned Colletti. Both spoke candidly about several subjects. Before going down to the clubhouse, I stopped at the Top of the Park. Hiroki Kuroda was shopping Kuroda shirts and jerseys. I said "Buying for friends and family?" He responded "Yes, Yes" After the shopping spree, he had his own little press conference with the Japanese media on Top Deck. The Japanese media always come in full force. You can barely see Kuroda. You can click all the pictures...Went down stairs. The only players from the Roster that I saw were Andre Ethier, Ramon Troncoso and Jon Garland. Ethier said it was special being part of the playoffs. He thinks that the Dodgers do have a couple of candidates to be the Ace of the team. He did watch the Angels/Yankees game last night and noticed John Lackey. Will welcome a new pitcher here to help the team if the Dodgers can find anyone.
Ethier did show off a bottle of a Dom Perignon champagne. It was a gift by teammate Doug Mientkiewicz to celebrate his first 100 RBI Season. How cool is that? Check out the pix: Then had a nice conversation with L.A. Times T.J. Simers:I also talked to Manny Mota. He is very proud of this team and says they will be very good for many seasons. Mota says he will spend his off-season in the Dominican Republic.
On to the dugout to catch with Torre and Colletti.
The following are my notes that I took. Notes are all over the place.
Torre spoke to the media first.
He will be back next season. Hasn't thought about beyond 2010 Right now just spend time with family. Did watch the Yankees/Angels game from last night. Is not picking any team to win. Does admire Phillies manager Charlie Manuel. Says he's a great man. They have a good team.
Someone asked him if Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier is now the nucleaus of this team. He responded that they are but so is Russell Martin and James Loney. Believes Brad Ausmus was a great help for Martin. Thinks he helped a great deal.
About Alex Rodriguez and his new success in the playoffs with the Yankees: "He now thinks he doesn't have to do it all by himself, looks good"
On Scott Elbert "Maybe reliever at this point, not sure"
On Chad Billingsley "He needs to get mind set back, like 1st half"
On Manny Ramirez "I want him from the start. Hopefully he starts from scratch. Needs to be at Spring Training"
On Future 2nd Baseman "We can look from within" "We got lucky this year with Orlando Hudson, he wore out in the 2nd half"
Colletti Press Conference:
Colletti says it's a small market to look for a Pitcher. He believes Billingsley and Kershaw might become the future Ace of the team. He also doesn't think the drama between Frank and Jamie McCourt will affect the business side. Will be having meetings with Torre and discussing options. Does believe Pitching depth and a second baseman are top priorities. When asked if he is interested in Japanese High School prospect Yusei Kikuchi, he smiled and said "Perhaps" Didn't want to talk about it.
Other people that I saw from the Dodgers organization:
Ken Howell
Mariano Duncan
Ramon Troncoso
Mark Sweeney
A couple more pictures.
After the conferences, went to the Gift Shop at Top Deck again. I met Sax from Sons of Steve Garvey. What a nice guy.
Our conversation:
Sax: "Hey you're that guy from the blog?"
Roberto "Yeah, hello"
Sax: "Ronaldo?"
Roberto "Ah no, it's Roberto"
Roberto "What's your name?"
Sax "mmmm uhhhh aaahhhh"
Roberto "???????"
Sax "I'm Sax from Sons of Steve Garvey"
Roberto "Ohhhh!"
Sax "You never saw me"
Roberto "O.K."
It was a great experience. Big thanks to Josh of the Dodgers P.R. Department.

This ia a CouchDB view server in and for Haskell. With it, you can define design documents that use Haskell functions to perform map/reduce operations. Database.CouchDB.ViewServer is just a container; see the submodules for API documentation.
- type MapSignature = Object -> ViewMap ()
- type ReduceSignature a = [Value] -> [Value] -> Bool -> ViewReduce a
- module Database.CouchDB.ViewServer.Map
- module Database.CouchDB.ViewServer.Reduce
This package includes the executable that runs as the CouchDB view server as well as some modules that your map and reduce functions will compile against. This means, for instance, that if CouchDB is running as a system user, this package must be installed globally in order to work.
The executable is named
couch-hs. Without any arguments, it will run as a
view server, processing lines from stdin until EOF. There are two options
that are important to the compilation of your map and reduce functions
couch-hs -h will print a short description of all options).
-x EXT
- Adds a language extension to the function interpreters.
OverloadedStringsis included by default.
-m MODULE[,QUALIFIED]
- Imports a module into the function interpreter context. You may include a qualified name or leave it unqualified. The default environment is equivalent to the following (the last entry varying for map and reduce functions):
import Prelude import Data.Maybe import Data.List as L import Data.Map as M improt Data.Text as T import Data.Aeson.Types as J import Control.Monad import Control.Applicative import Database.CouchDB.ViewServer.[Map|Reduce]
Assuming the package is installed properly, just add it to your CouchDB config file:
[query_servers] haskell = /path/to/couch-hs [options]
Development Modes
In addition to the server mode,
couch-hs has some special modes to aid
development. CouchDB isn't very good at reporting errors in view functions,
so the following modes can be used to make sure your functions compile
before installing them into a view. To ensure valid results, be sure to
match the
couch-hs options with those in CouchDB's config file.
couch-hs [options] -M [CODE|@PATH] ...
- Attempt to compile one or
more map functions. Each argument can either be a source string or a path to
a file prefixed by @. If no arguments are given, one function will be read
from stdin. For each map function that is successfully compiled,
couch-hswill print OK. If any function fails, the interpreter error(s) will be printed. If there are any failures,
couch-hswill exit with a non-zero status.
couch-hs [options] -R [CODE|@PATH] ...
- The same as
-M, except to compile reduce functions.
Here is a simple summation example to get started. This example assumes documents of the form:
{"name": "Bob", "value": 5}
The map function emits name/value pairs:
\doc ->
.:"name" ::
ViewMapString) (doc
.:"value" ::
The reduce function adds up all of the values:
\keys values rereduce -> sum <$>
parseJSONListvalues ::
The key things to note here:
- Map and reduce operations take place in a monadic context. The map and
reduce monads are transformers on top of
Parser, which is used to parse the decoded JSON into native values. Lifted parsing tools are provided for convenience.
- Both map and reduce functions will parse JSON values and produce output
and log messages. If any JSON parsing operation fails, the entire
computation will fail and no results nor log messages will be returned to
the server. To handle parse failures, you can use
- Both map and reduce computations are parameterized in some way. In the
case of map functions, it's the
emitfunction; for the reduce functions, it's the return type. In either case, since there is no top-level type annotation, it will be necessary to include annotations at key points in the functions. I find that annotations usually belong at the points where the JSON objects are parsed.
Map Functions
A map function takes a single JSON object as an argument and evaluates to
. The map computation may call
ViewMap ()
emit or
emitM to
returnkey/value pairs for the given document. The emit functions accept any
type that can be converted by
toJSON, which is a long list. If you want
to emit
null, pass
Null or
Nothing (Null is easier, as it doesn't
require annotation).
Map functions will generally use
.: and
.:? to access fields in the
object and may need
parseJSON to parse embedded values.
If the map computation fails, the result will be equivalent to
return ().
type MapSignature = Object -> ViewMap ()Source
The type of your map functions as they are stored in CouchDB. The trivial example:
\doc -> return ()
Reduce Functions
A reduce function takes three arguments: a list of keys as JSON
a list of values as JSON
Values, and a
Bool for rereduce. The
ViewReduce monad may wrap any value that can be converted by
a type annotation will generally be necessary.
A reduce function will normally use
parseJSONList to parse the JSON
values into primitive types for processing.
If the reduce computation fails, the result will be equivalent to
type ReduceSignature a = [Value] -> [Value] -> Bool -> ViewReduce aSource
The type of your reduce functions as they are stored in CouchDB. The trivial example:
\keys values rereduce -> return Null
Here's a larger example that shows off a more practical application. Suppose a set of documents representing shared expenses. We'll include a couple of malformed documents for good measure.
{"date": "2011-06-05", "what": "Dinner", "credits": {"Alice": 80}, "shares": {"Alice": 1, "Bob": 2, "Carol": 1}} {"date": "2011-06-17", "credits": {"Bob": 75}, "shares": {"Bob": 1, "Doug": 1}} {"date": "2011-06-08", "what": "Concert", "credits": {"Carol": 150}, "shares": {"Alice": 1, "Carol": 1, "Doug": 1}} {"date": "2011-05-25", "what": "Bogus", "credits": {"Alice": 50}, "shares": {"Bob": 0}} {"food": "pizza", "toppings": ["mushrooms", "onions", "sausage"]}
The following map function will calculate the total credit or debt for each
person for each valid document. The
what field is carried along. The
reduce function sums all of the nets to produce the bottom line.
\doc -> let net credits shares = let debts = shareAmounts (sumMap credits) (sumMap shares) shares in M.unionWith (+) credits debts shareAmounts totCredit totShares = M.map (\shares -> -(shares / totShares) * totCredit) sumMap = M.fold (+) 0 in do date <- doc .: "date" :: ViewMap T.Text what <- doc .:? "what" :: ViewMap (Maybe T.Text) -- Optional field credits <- doc .: "credits" :: ViewMap (M.Map T.Text Double) shares <- doc .: "shares" :: ViewMap (M.Map T.Text Double) guard $ (sumMap shares) > 0 -- Just say no to (/ 0) emit date $ object ["net" .= net credits shares, "what" .= what]
\_ values rereduce -> L.foldl' (M.unionWith (+)) M.empty <$> case rereduce of False -> mapM (.: "net") =<< parseJSONList values :: ViewReduce [(M.Map T.Text Double)] True -> parseJSONList values :: ViewReduce [(M.Map T.Text Double)]
Map results:
"2011-06-05": {what: "Dinner", net: {Alice: 60, Bob: -40, Carol: -20}} "2011-06-08": {what: "Concert", net: {Alice: -50, Carol: 100, Doug: -50}} "2011-06-17": {what: null, net: {Bob: 37.5, Doug: -37.5}}
Which reduces to:
{Alice: 10, Bob: -2.5, Carol: 80, Doug: -87.5}

Log odds to odds interpretation with LGM
Mplus Discussion
Growth Modeling of Longitudinal Data
Janet Audrain-McGovern
posted on Monday, November 11, 2002 - 7:34 am
I have a question about the interpretation of the log odds to odds transformation (exponentiation) when dealing with exogenous variables. I regressed the slope (trend) of my ordered categorical outcome variable on the exogenous variable subs ("substitutes"). The slope from the exogenous variable to the trend factor was -.652, indicating that the log odds of my trend factor decreased by .652 for every unit increase in subs. I understand that part. However, I exponentiated this value and got 1.92. Does this mean that the odds of progressing to a higher level of my ordered categorical variable decreased by 92%? I'd appreciate your help vastly.
posted on Monday, November 11, 2002 - 1:43 pm
I would just say that the odds is 1.92 times lower when increasing subs by 1 unit. See Hosmer-Lemeshow (2000), p. 63, or Agresti (1990), p. 322.

I have a question about interpreting the effect of covariates on the slope in growth curve modeling when the outcome is binary (for example, binge drinking). Is the effect of the covariate interpreted in reference to the positive linear trend specified in the model or in reference to the mean slope obtained from the output under 'intercepts'? For example, the mean slope in the model is negative and the effect of a binary covariate (1=females) on the slope is negative. Would I interpret this as a) females have smaller (lower) increase in the log odds of binge drinking over time compared to males (using the positive trend specified in the model as the reference), or b) females have smaller rate of decline in the log odds of binge drinking over time compared to males (using the negative slope mean as the reference)?
Similarly, if the effect of gender on the slope coeffeicient were positive, it would mean a) females have larger increase in the log odds of binge drinking over time, or b) females have larger decrease in the log odds of binge drinking over time?
Am I even close at all? I understand that log odds arent' very intuitive, so will exponentiate and change to probabilies, but want to get the basics down first.
Thank you
Bengt O. Muthen

You mention "the mean slope obtained...under intercept". The intercept is not the mean of the slope growth factor (the mean is influenced by the covariate as well) - you find its mean in Tech4.
You seem to say that you have a positive slope mean since you talk about a "positive trend". If that's the case, your interpretation a) is correct - the negative effect of female on the slope pulls the slope downwards.
