We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions
Bruce Springsteen
Well, Before I get started, let me offer all of you rockers out there the opportunity to bow out of any commitment you might feel for reading this Springsteen review. If you believe that a mandolin belongs in the kitchen; if you need another collection of protest songs like you need another hole in your head; if you find established artists who decide an acoustic album is just the thing they need to kick-start a sagging career offensive, then by all means go read some other article. You won't hurt my feelings a bit....
Are they gone?
Good. Because Bruce Springsteen's latest release —We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions — has all that going on. All that and songs you learned in Sunday school, to boot. And in spite of the negative connotations those things might conjure, it's his best record in years.
Recorded in three separate sessions over a span of almost ten years, The Seeger Sessions features material originally recorded by legendary folk singer Pete Seeger back in the 50s and 60s. Most of the songs are public domain classics that have been around for generations, and Springsteen's "recontextualizing" of these songs brings them squarely into twenty-first century.
And despite what "those other" rockers might believe, this record rocks in its own right. All tracks were recorded in a few takes with Springsteen calling out chord changes and directing solos throughout the numbers, lending the record an immediacy that rivals even the Boss' vaunted live recordings. You get the impression that Springsteen invited a bunch of friends over to play some old favorites in his living room and, for the most part, that is exactly what happened. Highlights include the radio-worthy "Mary Don't You Weep," the rave-up rendition of "Old Dan Tucker," "Jacob's Ladder," and the haunting "Eyes on the Prize."
Columbia Records has released this collection in the new DualDisc format, with the standard audio CD on one side and a special DVD on the other. It's a pretty snazzy way to package material, with bonus video footage adding to the sense of camaraderie that the music conveys.
The numbers mix traditional acoustic folk and bluegrass sounds with churchy backing vocals and sassy New Orleans-style horns, giving each song a twist that spices up what would otherwise be a well-worn, if not tired, interpretation. Bruce's vocals are typically raw and authentic.
Despite the fact that the CD has been marketed and, in some cases, reviewed as a protest record (the title alone recalls the efforts of those who took part in the Civil Rights movement of the 60s and many of the songs feature the themes of struggle and oppression), references to protest and politics are subtle, if not always evident. You could argue that "Eyes on the Prize," "Mary Don't You Weep," "Pay Me My Money Down," and the title track are evidence of a political statement, but this record is far less direct in its message than, say, Springsteen's 2002 release The Rising or Neil Young's more recent Living With War. The most enduring message this collection of classic folk tunes conveys is that good music is timeless, and in the hands of skilled musicians can evoke joy, sadness, inspiration, and a respect for the musical tradition.

Dubai Judicial Institute (DJI), a leading centre for legal studies and judicial training in Dubai, and a member of the General Network for Government Communication, has initiated in-depth discussions on the relationship between the judiciary and media and its role in ensuring comprehensive development at all levels. The discussions are being held on the sidelines of the "Judiciary and Media Forum", which began today (February 26, 2012) at the Intercontinental Hotel, Dubai Festival City. The two-day forum is being attended by Dubai Courts, Public Prosecution, Department of Legal Affairs, Government of Dubai, Dubai eGovernment and a number of major news and media organizations.
Dr. Jamal Hussein Al Sumaiti, Director General, DJI, explained that the "Judiciary and Media Forum" is being organised in line with DJI's firm belief in the power of strong relations between judiciary and the media. He emphasised DJI's commitment to provide an integrated platform to enable communication between judges and media and jointly discuss strategies to contribute towards greater judiciary-media relations. Al Sumaiti stressed that the Forum positions UAE as a country that strongly promotes values of security, integrity, transparency, freedom, safeguarding of human rights and building a safe community based on integrated systems and legislations and in adherence to best practices and international standards, so as to effectively meet local needs.
"The forum has attracted wide participation from members of the judiciary in the UAE, media institutions, Dubai Press Club, Dubai Courts, Public Prosecution, Dubai Police and the Department of Legal Affairs. This participation confirms the importance of the event as a platform to enhance cooperation and coordination with the concerned authorities in the judicial system and media, and intensify joint efforts, ensure safety, security, justice and freedom in line with the vision and directives of H.H. Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, may God protect him, and H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, may God protect him, and their highnesses rulers of the emirates," Al Sumaiti added.
The "Judiciary and Media Forum" is highlighting several issues such as media coverage of the judiciary, professional and ethical controls of media coverage, the balance between press freedom and sovereignty of the judiciary, ensuring a fair trial in light of the evolution of media, media and the invasion of privacy, new media technologies and their impact on judicial rulings, the role of judges, lawyers and media in addressing the issues of society, as well as jurisdiction in cases of published materials and its relationship to freedom of expression. The Forum will conclude with the submission of a set of recommendations to strengthen media-judiciary relations.
The Dubai Judicial Institute was established in 1996 to help educate and train aspiring judges, prosecutors and their assistants, legal experts and lawyers. DJI also offers habilitation programs for public prosecutors to enhance their efficiency. The Institute provides training and consultancy services to various public and private sector agencies and institutions and conducts local, regional and global research and studies on all areas of law and jurisdiction.

I amused myself yesterday making collages and playing around on Picmonkey. I had a turkey meal from the deli that was picked up for me Tuesday, and spent a quiet day with the pupsters.
No, I haven't begun decorating for Christmas. They are photos from last year I put into collages. Just not in the mood yet. And it seems a little soon, although I'm seeing Christmas ALL over Blogland! So I guess it isn't.
We're experiencing a little unexpected glitch with our new black Duraflame stoves. Abi is terrified when I turn it on. Which means it isn't on long. She high tails it out of the room and won't come back.
If I let her out, she won't come in. Do you think there are two more neurotic dogs in the land?
Flies, anxiety-attachment problems, and now the Duraflame stoves. I tried just putting the heat on, no flame. Nope, she wasn't having any of it.
You know the pupsters rule this home. For now, I'll just sit and look at them, I guess. And dream of a time when I can actually figure out a way to use them without a dog going berserk.

Byron Maxwell Top Breakout Candidate For 2014
Pete Prisco of CBSSports.com names cornerback Byron Maxwell to his list of the Top 25 breakout candidates for 2014. Maxwell, who stepped in opposite All-Pro corner Richard Sherman late last season, recorded four picks and 12 passes defensed in five starts.
On the fourth-year pro Maxwell, Prisco writes, "He was kind of a breakout player late last season when he took over as a starter, but I am talking about really emerging this season. He showed he has the cover tools last season when the Seahawks made their Super run, even when teams picked on him." Read

Health and Family Services Cabinet
Center simplifies access to information, services for elderly, disabled - Northern Kentucky site of first center, additional centers planned
The Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) today announced the opening of Kentucky's first one-stop, long-term care information and assistance center for aging and adult mental retardation services.
CHFS and the Northern Kentucky Area Agency on Aging officially opened the first of 15 planned Aging and Disability Resource Centers where individuals, families and health and human services professionals can find information and access care and services for the elderly and people with disabilities.
"The goal of the ADRC program is to empower families and individuals by making it easier for them to find the information they need to make informed choices about long-term care and support services," said Governor Ernie Fletcher. He said the ADRC also will help state and local governments better manage limited resources and monitor program quality using centralized data collection and evaluation functions. The first ADRC will serve Boone, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, Owen and Pendleton counties in Northern Kentucky. Once fully implemented, regional resource center programs will serve residents in all 120 counties. Area Agencies on Aging of the 15 Area Development Districts will provide local administrative support for their respective regional centers, including collaboration and communication with service providers to make sure information provided to consumers is always accurate and complete.
A dramatic nationwide demographic shift is projected within the next 25 years fueled by the baby boomer generation – the first of whom began turning 60 this year. Kentucky currently ranks 27th nationally in the proportion of the state population older than 65. By 2025, Kentucky's elder population ranking is expected to rise to 14th. In its proportion of residents 85 and older, Kentucky will move from 31st to 40th by 2025.Current disability rates provide some indication of future demand for long-term care services.
In 2000, 59,000 Kentuckians 65 and older reported some type of disability that limits routine, daily activity - that's more than 12 percent of the total elder population and higher than the national average of 9.5 percent. That proportion of elders with disabilities is likely to grow – or at least be difficult to reduce – based on overall population health measures ranking Kentucky very high for levels of obesity, smoking, heart disease and the proportion of elders who don't receive regular preventive health screenings and treatments, like mammograms, flu and pneumonia shots and colonoscopies.
With an $800,000 three-year grant from the U.S. Administration on Aging and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, Kentucky joins 43 other states providing centralized resources and information on a wide range of in-home and site-based aging and disabilities programs and services. The program is jointly administered by the Cabinet's Division of Aging Services, Department for Mental Health and Mental Retardation and Department for Medicaid Services.
"This is an example of how state government can break down silos, examine issues and needs and develop solutions to help ensure that Kentucky has healthy people and strong communities now and in the future," said CHFS Secretary Mark D. Birdwhistell.Individuals older than 18 and their families will be able to contact the resource center to inquire about programs and services in specific counties and other geographical areas, by type of service and by other data-sorting criteria. Contact the Northern Kentucky ADRC by calling (859) 692-2480 or toll-free (866) 766-ADRC (1732) or e-mail the ADRC at email@example.com. Walk-in assistance is available at the Northern Kentucky ADD office, 22 Spiral Drive in Florence. The center will also provide service counseling, referrals and private and public assistance eligibility screening, and will help clients with the application process for services they wish to receive. The resource center will serve another important function as a single point of entry to Medicaid and other public health and human service programs for older Kentuckians and people with disabilities."The launch of this model resource center represents a wonderful example of cooperation, creativity and goal-centered focus among many partners and providers," Birdwhistell said. "We want to provide a rapid, customized and, most of all, genuinely helpful way for people to find out what's needed, what's available where and how to get the programs and services best suited for each client."

By Chris LaBate
He couldn't secure Mikkel Kessler or Kelly Pavlik, but IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute was able to bag former champion Glen Johnson for a scheduled defense on November 5th, possibly in Quebec City. Bute (29-0, 24 KOs) and his entourage are relieved that InterBox was able to finalize a deal for a November opponent. Bute knows Johnson (51-15-2, 35 KOs) very well, because the two of them had sparred with each other several times.
"I'm glad it was completed. I came back from Romania last week and I didn't know who I was going to box against. [Johnson] is a very good opponent, a former champion and he faced the world's best during his career, and I know he has a lot of experience," said Bute to Eric LeBlanc.
"Our goal remains to prove that I belong among the best. I still want to face the winner of the Super Six tournament, but it's one fight at a time. I am ready to face all the boxers who participated in this tournament to show my value to people and also that I deserve to be considered the best super middleweight in the world."
Jean Bédard, President of InterBox, also expects a tough test for Bute.
"We think it will be a good test for Lucian especially since [Johnson] has not been knocked out since 1997 against Bernard Hopkins. He is strong and he just had a good fight against Carl Froch. He was the number one choice when Pavlik [walked] but I keep finding it difficult to find opponents who want to fight Lucian," said Bédard

From Vision to Reality…
AK Interiors believes that a space cannot be designed without knowing and understanding those who will inhabit it. A space cannot function properly nor can it look great if it does not fulfill your vision.
What you imagine, whether for your home or place of work, is specific, unique, like a finger print. It should encompass what you value when it comes to:
- practicality and efficiency.
- beauty: modern, refined and timeless.
- comfort: what makes you happy, what makes you work and live better.
- the reflection of your character or identity of your business brand.
- quality and craftsmanship.
AK Interiors wants to know you and your vision first, then we start the design process!
We determine the appropriate beautiful and functional materials, sketch the walls to create the space and everything to fill it. We will guide you through the choices and give reason for every element. Reason that relates to you. We manage these details: establish how it will all come together as a cohesive package, coordinate with suppliers, engineers and building teams, and administer the written and drawing forms of communication to enable the contractors and craftsmen in their building process.
It's about managing the challenges to make it an easy process for you. We are here to turn your vision into that new or renewed space that exceeds its possibilities.
A space that works for you, not the other way around!

Well tonight I've come to the realization that I'm currently in the process of evaluating whether the new friends I have at Post are really friends or not. I have no idea...
Sometimes I try to reach out and contact them, but I never get any replies. I also feel like I'm the odd one out... I don't feel like I'm "part of the group" very much... I also feel like I'm a victim of being taken advantage of. They'll hang out with me whenever they think they can use me for something. That's the kind of impression I get, and I don't like it much... If there's one thing Saara, Phil, Jill, and Stephanie all taught me, it's this: You never know somebody, until you really get to know them.
I always thought of Stephanie as a reasonably intelligent, solid girl. I felt like she had goals for herself and she knew exactly what she was doing... that is, until she revealed to me earlier this month that she was going to move in with her boyfriend. That startled me quite a bit inside, but on the outside I looked like I made myself appear like "Oh, okay... Have fun with that." Based on my experience with online relationships and friendships in general, moving in with a guy Stephanie has only known for less than half a year is probably the most idiotic thing she could possibly do. And ontop of that, she met HIM online TOO. He could be hiding ANYTHING from the girl and she'll never know it. How could she put so much trust in him in such a short amount of time? Because he's nice? Because he acts like he understands her? LOL!!! I had the same sort of thing going on with me and my ex Saara, and LOOK HOW THAT f*ckING TURNED OUT!!!!! XDDD
I don't mean to be harsh, and trust me, I know Stephanie is a really sweet girl and she absolutely means well for herself.. But she obviously doesn't know what she's getting herself into here. As a guy that's been through the sh*tfest of online relationships, I think I have developed excellent judgment by now what sounds fishy and what doesn't. And, I'm sorry, but to me, this thing Stephanie has with her boyfriend just sounds fishy... But in all due respect, if on the offchance things happen to turn out completely fine for her, then more power to her!
But not only did Stephanie reveal that to me, nope... That's only HALF of it. She ALSO revealed to me that she's dropping out of school. And before I was even ready for it, she was gone. She's not here anymore. Well, you know what? I wouldn't have done that if it were me, but honestly, it's not my problem. XD So all I've got to say about that ordeal is, if she can get a full time job that can help her be independent, and if she can make out alright and be happy, then happy trails my friend. Lol.
Stephanie's not the only person that's given me weird feelings. Oftentimes I will text Anyi and Chris, and they never respond. I texted Julia tonight, and she never responded either. She obviously had the time to, because she went on facebook and Facebook will say whether a person has seen your message or not. Well, she got my messages-- she just ignored them. I get that A LOT from people, and it annoys the f*ck outta me. It also seems like no matter what I try to do, no matter how many times I try to talk to people, they're so engulfed within their smartphones, their video games, or their computers. I really feel like I should have been born in the past... >.>
This is the kind of sh*t that makes me re-evaluate who my actual friends are. I know for sure that Ryan is my true friend. Billiam Whittington is likely going to be my true friend as well, though I haven't known him as long as Ryan, so I still need some time with him (I'd say it's a pretty safe bet though). It's just really sad that I even need to do this sort of "checking" with people. I shouldn't have to. They should just flat out be telling me "I don't have any interest in talking to you." What are they afraid of, hurting my feelings? LOL!! My heart's already been CRUSHED!!! I know what it feels like to be beaten to DEATH emotionally, so I can take anyone's rejections ANY day! XDD Just f*cking be honest and straightforward with me! That's all I ask.
This journal was horneted in 1996. XD

Orchids classified as Dendrobium belong to a specialized group known as epiphytes. Epiphytes are in a group (including the ever-popular bromeliads) that adheres to objects like trees or rocks. They are called so because, though they attach themselves to objects, they aren't parasites. They don't receive nutrients from the would be "host" and they are often referred to as "air plants."

These flowers are found in the Far East, Borneo, the Philippines, Australia, New Guinea and New Zealand. There are 1200 species in many colors, shapes and sizes. Many of them you will be familiar with already. If you are interested in basic Dendrobium orchid care that you can use to have these plants blooming in your home, then this article is perfect for you.
Getting Into The Detailed Care These Plants Require
Dendrobium care is not the easiest task to perform especially for beginners, but they work well for an intermediate gardeners. Along with cymbidium, cattleya hybrids, laelia and stanhopea, this species will grow well when cultivated outdoors, but they can be grown indoors too.
An interesting fact about these plants is that instead of pseudo bulbs they have little knobs growing from the stems commonly called "pups." Pups are one of the means through which they propagate.
Dampening The Roots Plays an Important Role With These Flowers
When growing these plants it is important to dampen the roots, but when dormant they need to be allowed to dry out. In the dormant state their stems will look like bamboo stems. When your flower begins to come out of dormancy, its joints will swell, and you will know that it needs to be watered more regularly.
One of the best ways to know if your plant needs water during its active phase is to hold its pot in your hand. This is a simple tactic that everyone should take use of immediately. If it is very light weight, then it might need water. If heavy it probably doesn't.
This procedure is something that you will develop and knack for over time, but watering or not watering these plants properly is vital to its overall well-being. After a while you will also begin to recognize the signs and appearance of a healthy flower, bright red roots, for example.
Misting Your Plant is a Helpful Benefit
This task could also consist of just misting the plant because it is vital to its health, particularly on hot summer days when many of your plants become a little desiccated. Light spray is especially important to seedlings, rootless starts, and weak or less healthy plants and misting is good for all your plants.
Some enthusiasts of this particular flower find success by potting their plants in light, damp soil and don't actually water them until their roots show. Instead they mist them fairly heavily daily.
Take Advantage of The Dampening Process
One of the best procedures for simple dendrobium care, is to do something called "dampening." In dampening you wet down the walls, paths, and all areas around the container. This method is less likely to cause less damage, and it imitates the features of nature creating a gentle, humid mist or slow drizzle that will surround your orchid.
Checking The PH of The Water
Another vital part to growing dendrobiums successfully is the PH of the water. It should be slightly acidic, between 4.5 and 5. Check your water to see if it is acid or base, and if it is base, then you must do something to bring the acid level down a chemist, or even your hardware store or a tropical fish dealer should give you a simple chemical to add to your water. Bringing down the Ph is very easy to do.
As you can see with just a little bit of proper dendrobium orchid care can go a long way especially if you want these plants thriving whenever you want to see them blossom.

Have you ever tried to get your child with autism to eat or drink something? It could be a new food or you could've even mixed medicine into his or her food. Anything to get them to eat or to take it. No matter what you tried, it was a tough. Your kid was not having it.
It was a morning just like any other and Angel's mom took him down to our building lobby to wait for the school bus. Angel loves to take a toy with him to play with during his bus ride. This time he chose his favorite orange ball. The bus was running late, so Angel and his mom started playing catch. Within a

Every day when I interact with or observe someone, I always wonder if that person has a disability or not. I don't know why but I understand how. Each time a thought comes to mind, I wonder how my son will be able to co-exist in mainstream life. Having a child on the autism spectrum
This is my first post of the year but also the first post since the latest tragedy in our lives. For those who do not know how I feel, let me just say that sometimes words are not enough to describe my grief. Last month, my wife, Miz Kp and I lost our unborn son.
I envy parents who seem to have it all together. They fight the good fight and they make sure that everyone else knows it. I can advocate for my child and go hard for him when needed. Still self doubt creeps up on me at times and I wonder if I am doing enough for him. This
Three years ago today, we were told that Angel is on the autism spectrum. He was four-years old. I remember that day vividly. I remember how I felt and what I said.

I remember when Angel got his first vaccination. He was two-months old. As the needle pierced his little thigh a slow cry erupted from his mouth.

This will sound like a strange way to open a film review, but I didn't completely HATE The Hangover (2009). It had a half-clever concept (even if it was borrowed from a film called Dude, Where's My Car?), a colorful cast, and a solid handful of honest laughs sprinkled around the place. Hardly a classic, but not bad for a silly sex farce. And then it blew the hell up. I'm not exactly sure why, but The Hangover was a massive hit the likes of which any studio would kill to claim as their own. So obviously we were due for a few sequels. Fine.
The Hangover Part 2 (2011) was absolutely terrible. What began as an aggressively rude yet still likable concept was quickly recycled into a sadly mercenary piece of paint-by-numbers, no-effort-required, gimme my damn paycheck franchise filmmaking. But of course The Hangover Part 2 also blew the hell up at the box office. So here we are again. The Hangover Part 3.
Let's cut right to the chase: this thing exists only due to contractual obligations and the ever-present need for MORE FREE MONEY. This is not a movie that was built from someone's clever idea and then produced for people to laugh with. It's a free vacation to Tijuana and Las Vegas for some very rich men who have no real interest in being there outside of the fiscal ones. You can practically see leading man Bradley Cooper yearning for each "cut!" so he can get through this trainwreck, collect his check, and move on to other projects that an Oscar nominee might enjoy. (Bradley Cooper is a charming and talented actor; he still does virtually nothing of interest in this entire trilogy.)
As for Ed Helms, who is one of the most naturally gifted comedians I've seen in years, his material here is so flat and listless that one starts to feel angry on behalf of the actor. Give Ed Helms ten seconds and a camera and he makes people laugh every week! How could such a funny man be so woefully misused in the third chapter of an allegedly "hilarious!" franchise?
(Short answer: because nobody cared.)
As for Zach Galifianakis, another guy who has comedy talent leaking from his pores, he's back being extremely weird at the most illogical of moments — and it's just not all that funny anymore. His tics and mannerisms and clipped speech and odd word choices are sometimes amusing, because he's a good comedian, but they don't really add up to a "character" — just like Hangover 3 doesn't add up to much of a "movie." It's selfish people being mean and stupid with just a dash of pathetically false "emotion" tossed in at the end.
To its mild credit, Hangover 3 does not simply copy the plot(s) from the first two chapters. There's actually no "hangover" at all; this maddeningly lethargic plot sees "the fourth guy" (aka Justin Bartha) being kidnapped by a murderous kingpin and the only way the (dear lord) "Wolf Pack" can save the day is by tracking down a guy called "Chow." And this leads to the worst problem in a film absolutely riddled with problems.
In The Hangover, Ken Jeong popped up a few times and added a truly bizarre spark of energy. Since the fans responded to a supporting character who was used well, the producers of the sequel simply gave him more screen time. This might be a good way to sell tickets, but "supporting characters" are often great because they're "supporting" characters. Now that we're mired in The Hangover Part 3, Ken Jeong is in every other scene, keening and whining and talking in a horribly annoying voice. Frankly he makes the second half of the movie interminable. What was once amusing for a few moments has now become an anchor.
So how do truly funny people like Helms, Galifianakis, and Jeong get hung out to dry on such a witless affair? The blame must lie at the feet of co-writer / producer / director Todd Phillips. The man must be a comedy vacuum to suck all the humor out of a cast like this. In its place he tosses animal cruelty, shock value ugliness, lots of nasty shouting that (for some reason) is meant to be hilarious by default, and (worst of all) a series of "action" scenes that demolish comedy and suspense at the same time. (The big finale atop a Vegas casino is woefully amateurish stuff.) There's no pacing or energy or pleasure in the comedy moments. The gags are delivered like we're Pavlovian dogs desperate for any morsel of wit. Worse yet, The Hangover Part 3 seems to think it's actually some sort of heist thriller, which only makes it duller!
Bottom line: some movies are bad because mistakes were made or something didn't work as planned. Other movies are bad because nobody "above the line" gave a flying shit about anything but claiming a strategic weekend, filling a trailer, and getting asses into the seats on opening weekend. The lack of effort and complete dearth of creativity found here strikes me as an affront to the fans. It's like saying "we know this is a smash so who cares if it sucks?" Like clockwork, moviegoers are punished for making one movie a big hit, and I know I'm not the only one who gives a crap.
Fortunately for all involved, this franchise is over. Part 3 is just one last cash-grab. Try not falling for it this time.

The Simplest Way To Graph Your Data
statmaster.zip — Statmaster for Windows 95..XP
User manual and update history (also included in the distribution).
This is the home of Statmaster — the simplest, no-nonsense solution to data graphing needs for scientists, engineers and students.
If you are in this group, you may be running some programs, which are number-crunching applications used in your work, research, or school projects, but which do not have any graphic presentation of results, as that would be too expensive and/or time-consuming to add. Besides, you focus on your problem, not on graphics!
You may try to use one of available commercial data presentation and reduction packages, some of them excellent tools on their own (or even a spreadsheet), but all of them are not too easy to use. They also cost money and you cannot distribute them with your specialized application.
Here comes Statmaster. This is not a heavyweight champion of data presentation, but the few things it does, it does neatly, with no pain, and not much effort. You can hook up your FORTRAN (Basic, C, whatever), text-only application to Statmaster in less than half an hour, and enjoy seeing your results in their full graphic glory.
|Screenshot from the example data included with the program.
Statmaster is run from the command line interface (often referred to as "DOS window") from Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, or XP. You run it by issuing a command like
statmaster mysetup.stm.ini mydata.dat
where mysetup.stm.ini is the Statmaster setup file, telling the program how to present the data, and mydata.dat — the data file containing the data to show. The latter is a regular text (ASCII) file containing your data in lines, a certain number of items to a line.
At this moment, Statmaster does histograms, scatter (XY) plots, and line graphs; it also computes basic statistical parameters of data populations. I may add some other features (including linear and polynomial regression) if there is enough interest.
The graphs are shown in up to sixteen tabbed pages, and each page may hold up to 64 graphs, enough for most uses. Graph attributes (color, background, marker type, histogram fill, font) are defined in the setup file; so are graph ranges and histogram attributes, although you may leave these to be computed by the program.
Being run from the command line, Statmaster can be used from batch files, automating the process and possibly linking a number of your computational applications together with graphic presentation of results.
The program has been used for the last few years on a number of campuses and within my company, where it serves as a data presentation back end for a $400k simulation system. Only a few years ago I decided to add to it the necessary documentation and to make it available to general public.
The distribution archive contains a brief (but, hopefully, sufficient) user manual, plus three example setup files, heavily annotated, together with the data they all use. You may use these files as a starting point for your own experiments.
Statmaster is free for personal and educational use. Government and corporate users should contact me for licensing conditions.

Cantonese is the most well-known and popular of the Chinese regional cuisine
styles. Cantonese chefs specialize in delicate sauces and roasted meats, in
steamed and stir-fried dishes with vegetables that are as carefully chosen for
appearance and appeal to the eye as to the palate. Steamed rice is a staple of
Cantonese cuisine, and is the base of most meals. Every vegetable is sliced to
best show off its color and shape, even in a stir-fry or sauce. One of the more
enduring and widely enjoyed traditions of Cantonese cooking is 'dim sum' – 'little
hearts'. In many cities, both in China and in other countries around the world, you'
ll find little dim sum shops tucked beneath stairways and in storefront shops. They
serve tea and the delicious savory and sweet little dim sum pastries to
businessmen and afternoon shoppers.

Kentucky Speedway Files Suit
Kentucky Speedway, LLC filed suit against NASCAR and International Speedway Corporation (ISC) today alleging the defendants have violated federal antitrust laws by illegally restricting the award of NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series races and have illegally awarded NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series races to the International Speedway Corporation.
Kentucky Speedway, LLC also alleges antitrust violations relating to various restraints of trade involving NASCAR Busch Series races and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series races. The lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky at Covington, Ky.
Attorneys representing Kentucky Speedway, LLC include Cincinnati, Ohio attorney Stanley Chesley of Waite, Schneider, Bayless & Chesley and Houston, Texas attorney Steve Susman of Susman Godfrey.
"We have alleged that NASCAR and ISC have violated the federal antitrust laws," said Stan Chesley. "In my opinion, the facts clearly support a conclusion that NASCAR and ISC have colluded to exclude competition in order to financially benefit themselves. By doing so, they have harmed not only Kentucky Speedway but also all stock car racing fans nationwide. Stock car racing is the most popular spectator sport in the United States and we intend to do our best to see that fair play and fair racing is re-established."
"NASCAR and ISC's activities have harmed race fans in Ohio and Kentucky," stated Steve Susman. "NASCAR's treatment of Kentucky Speedway makes the most egregious tactics of drivers fighting for position on the track look like a Sunday afternoon drive in the country."

These days, both Alex Rodriguez and Ken Griffey Jr. are in the news, like the legendary athletic icons they are. Rodriguez is in the news due to further evidence that he's missing…something, something critical, something the rest of us have that makes us all human. Alex Rodriguez, basically, is Bart after selling Milhouse his soul, except A-Rod lost his soul a few decades ago, and these days he's more like a human-ish entity occupying the uncanny valley, leaving the rest of us unsettled. Griffey's in the news for more positive reasons — he's being formally inducted into the Mariners' Hall of Fame, which sounds like a comical institution but which is not, at least not anymore, not now that it's going to have Ken Griffey Jr. in it. Griffey grants any institution immediate legitimacy.
It's an interesting contrast — Griffey, in some small way, is cementing his baseball immortality, while Rodriguez fights against professional excommunication. The Mariners want to make sure no one ever forgets about Ken Griffey Jr. If Bud Selig had his druthers, he'd make sure no one ever remembers Alex Rodriguez. Griffey promoted the game while Rodriguez tried to hurt it, and while Griffey had his own dark side, his issues were more that he was kind of an asshole sometimes. On occasion, Griffey could be standoffish. On occasion, Alex Rodriguez has told the truth, maybe. The darkness beneath Rodriguez flows deeper, flows faster, and while I used to think Rodriguez didn't get enough credit for his Mariner accomplishments, it's become easier and easier to understand why people don't go out of their way to remember the good times. There was always something off about A-Rod, and now we're finding out that something is A-Rod himself, the whole of who or what he is.
That's all the commentary part, and people are perfectly justified to cheer Griffey on while booing Rodriguez away. There's a reason Griffey and Rodriguez drew such disparate responses upon their initial returns to Seattle. Beyond the commentary, though, I'm just here to quickly highlight one thing. I don't know why I was looking this up, but I looked it up anyway and now I'm going to share it. We can't erase what Griffey and Rodriguez did on the field, nor should we want to. Regardless of how we feel about the players, the players generated their statistics, and for a time they did so in Mariners uniforms. Maybe there was some chemical influence, but there was chemical influence everywhere back then, so it's probably safest to just assume everything more or less balanced out. Look at the Mariners in 1996.
That team finished second in its division, and Randy Johnson missed a lot of time with injuries. Those Mariners were famously loaded with talent, and they played 161 games. Had they played 162, they might've reached a total of 1,000 runs scored. Edgar was the DH, with a four-digit OPS. Jay Buhner was the right fielder, with a .926 OPS. But the standouts, of course, were Rodriguez at short and Griffey in center, the two combining to miss a few dozen games but the two also combining for an unthinkable level of performance.
According to Baseball-Reference, here are all the teams in baseball history to have two position players reach or exceed 9 WAR:
- 1996 Mariners
- 1930 Yankees
- 1928 Yankees
- 1927 Yankees
- 1906 Naps
The players:
- Griffey/Rodriguez
- Gehrig/Ruth
- Gehrig/Ruth
- Gehrig/Ruth
- Lajoie/Turner
Griffey was amazing in every single facet. Rodriguez, too, was amazing in every single facet, actually out-hitting Griffey while playing the toughest infield position. Griffey, that year, turned 27 years old. Rodriguez turned 21.
Juan Gonzalez won the 1996 American League MVP while posting a WAR under 4. That's laughable, but that's also not the point. Here's the point I really wanted to get to: remember last year's MVP debate about Mike Trout versus Miguel Cabrera? Remember how Trout had the WAR, and Cabrera had the Triple Crown and the playoff berth? Last year, Trout and Cabrera played for different teams. The 1996 Mariners basically had Trout and Cabrera. Everyone knows those Mariners were stacked, but I think it's helpful to bring up more current examples to help shed light on what they really had. Last year, Trout was amazing. Last year, Cabrera was amazing. The Mariners essentially had both. They also managed to miss the playoffs.
It's been a long time since Griffey's peak. After the Mariners traded him, he had only one more season with a WAR over 3. It's been less time since Rodriguez's peak, but no one thinks about that A-Rod anymore, and certainly few people still think about his days with the Mariners. It's incredible, however, how blessed those Mariners were. These days, it's clear that one of those superstars isn't quite human. Back in the 90s, neither of them were.

This immediately after running into the patrol car, which had an officer and a police dog inside. It gets worse: The woman had a child inside her vehicle. The driver admitted to texting. Victoria police checked out the phone, issued the driver the $167 ticket and later posted the bizarre message on … [Read more...]
'Close to Home': Social-media tragedy
The latest video from AT&T's It Can Wait campaign against distracted driving shows the consequences of a mom's glance at a smartphone image posted to social media. In slow motion or full speed, it's not a pretty picture: The public-service ad follows through on AT&T's promise to expand It Can Wait beyond just texting & driving, based on studies that show social media use is a significant threat on roadways. The spot also has 30-second versions. Directed by Frederic Planchon via the agency BBDO New York. … [Read more...]

Common Questions and Answers about Triamcinolone and nursing
My son is brilliant, very smart, but a bit uninterested in caring or
his CRP
he does not work out unless it is football or track season. I tried to get him to take hot steamy showers at home and rubbing with diluted Bleach??? I really think he should go to one of those Turkish Bath Houses with the Steam rooms or even a gym/health club steam room during the off season.

I've seen 2 doctors
1 specialist, none have really told me anything
all tests always come back negative (I was tested for herpes as well.) Even the yeast cultures come back negative. I've been going to acupuncture for the last 2 months and the symptoms are decreasing, but at a very slow rate. I have taken Monistat, flagyl, cortizone (steroid) pills and cream and nothing has worked.

C) Did they generally (upper extremity) check your orthostatic blood pressures
pulses (lying down, sitting
standing)? If so, was there any evidence of any kind of orthostatic intolerance (problem with standing with the numbers)? D) If your lipid panel, magnesium level, CRP, and peripheral doppler testing were fine and your did any of the doctors suggest trying compression socks/hosiery? E) How long did you try acupuncture for?

i have found that a mixture of aquaphor and hydrocortisone cream 2x a day helps! i have an allergy baby that is allergic to EVERYTHING and between that, singulair at night, zyrtec in the morning and the ointment 2x a day AND clorox bath each night with NO soap. plus an eliminative diet from everything that he is allergic to. ALSO, just because it is not listed on the ingredients list, doesn't mean there isn't anything in it.

Acetonide Cream twice a day,0.1% cream
Diphenhydramine HCI 50 mg capsule for itching every 6 hours and Levocetirizine Dihydrochlorde tablet for itching. Thank you very much. Keep me posted on what you think about all this medicine if its too much for her you think. She's 73. Cindy...Lakota27.

I'm sure you're paying quite a bit to attend
you should ask your

He also gave me an injection of betamethasone and
which reduced the inflamation
itching for a short time but the rash never went away. He also prescribed topical creams with no results. I am at witts end and I am starting to wonder whether this is caused by stress or psychological factors but for the fact that my roomate has the same symptoms but not as severe. Can you help me?

I also had constant dry, cracked and bleeding lips,
tried everything from drinking plenty of water
making sure I wasn't licking them. I didn't have any other visual symptoms, but I did have a combination of a burning/numbness feeling on my lips. The doctors did some bloodwork to check my vitamin levels which all came back fine and instructed me to try an OTC cream like Abreva, as they thought it might be a cold sore (which I never had in the past either).

So two sessions in the last two months with this doctor, i was on prednisone at 50 mg, antiobiotic,
acetonide 0.1% cream
fluocinonide 0.5% cream. Keep in mind that this is all fairly new to me as I don't get sick nor require to see a doctoras often. Taking all the necessary steps has really put tons of stress on me. So my skin starts improving, then when i run out of meds and take my last pills listed above, my symptoms start appearing again. This is very annoying.

Hey girls, I am having the same problems. I am 4
a half months post-partum
. I started having these symptoms about 3 weeks ago and went to see my ob. She said it looked like a yeast infection (even though I told her it didn't feel like one; i.e. no discharge, no odor), prescribed Diflucan and did a culture. The results came back negative for yeast and herpes, and positive for Group B strep. I was also positive for Group B when I was pregnant. My ob has now prescribed penicillin.
Read More
Yeah. Well that's what I hope-related to some kind of yeast thing, and not HPV-which would mean I have to wait until it runs it's course with me. My doctor actually told me to stick with the gold bond if it works, but that's treating the symptoms...sigh. I just had a run of anti biotics after a surgery, wouldn't that take care of any kind of BI/yeast/uti??

Finally a NP recognized the eczema and put me on
Acetonide Cream 4X a day on the infected area,
he also gave me an additional morning regimen for the next 2 weeks. It's been 24 hours, and the redness is GONE, the swelling is nearly nonexistent, and the itch is minimal. Plus, I am completely moisturized. No dryness problems. I'm right before my period, and I was able to sleep through the night.

Shamefully, for almost 8 years I have been getting very small itchy blisters on various spots on my arms
legs. The small blisters develop
immediately itch intensely, which is how I know they're there. They have a clear fluid inside, with no puss. When I scratch them in my sleep or when they break, they often weep a little amber colored liquid. Also, when I scratch them, more tiny blisters will develop around the original blister, signifying an infection.

for the past week or so I have had sporadic runny nose / sneezing (bouts last about a half hour, much like allergic reaction)
my right tonsil has been a bit sore
firm. I am breastfeeding
my baby likes to touch my lips while nursing. Sometimes baby has a rough or jagged fingernail; I think baby may have irritated my skin and maybe introduced an infection. My sleeping is irregular but I usually get at least 6 hours per night.

We just moved from Colorado to Ohio to be with my husbands family, I am an RN
it took 2 months to even get my
license here, I still can't find a job that will hire me right away... So I've got a lot of stressors here. I started to break out about 2 weeks ago after being attacked by bugs when we went camping.

Hi, The skin on the surface of your fingers and toes is different from the skin covering the rest of your body. It's thicker due to constant contact, abrasion,
pressure. Your fingertips
toetips contain networks of dense, tough connective tissue. This tough tissue anchors the outer skin to the underlying layers known as the "dermis." If you soak in water long enough, protective oils get depleted from your skin. Water can leak in to your skin after awhile.

I was on that for seven years
finally got a sensitivity to it
it was no longer effective. With autoimmune urticaria vs. chronic idiopathic urticaria (which they said was what i had for eight of the ten years) I couldn't use antihistimines at all with effect, doxepin was the only one! Plaquenil is our next option. However using synthroid (synthetic thyroid) daily has done more for my hives than anything used thus far.

I am a junior in
a nurse's tech at a local hospital
I have never come across a patient or friend with these, nor have I found these in any of my nursing books. I had common warts on my hands previous to these and got rid of them roughly 3 years ago with hypnosis (frozen nitrogen and lazer therapy did not help). I know the hypnosis worked because after fighting to get rid of these my whole life, I was desperate & tried hypnosis and they were gone within 2 weeks.

I itch until I want to scream! I went to the DR.
he said it was Ecezema
prescribed me
Acetonide Ointment and it did not work. I went to WalmART and got AVEENA Calamine & Pramoxine Anti-Itch Cream. to my relief it worked and OMG I can finally relax for a min until another breakout. I also got the AVEENA bath crystals. Which has Colloidial Oatmeal. I am relieved for these products. Soak in the bath water with this product and the welts and itchyness will be relieved.

I am a 23 year old healthy male. I recently had a full physical
the results were that I am in above average health. I have no diseases, do not use drugs, but drink on occasion. Anyways, just started noticing these strange symptoms, within the past few weeks. Nothing "brought it on" so to speak that I can tell of. It's been going on longer, but less noticeable, now since I do not talk sleeping meds any more, it's all that I can notice...

If you thought you have loved the performances of Michael Muhney (Adam Newman) as the black sheep of the Newman clan, just wait! You have only seen the tip of the iceberg! In the weeks to come, viewers will see the unraveling of a story of epic proportions that will put Adam front and center in some heart-stopping, heartbreaking, and controversial moments!
So let's take a look at where we are at heading into Monday's episode of The Young and the Restless: Adam and Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) found out their son Connor needs a corneal transplant to see, but in order for it to be a success they must find a donor soon and the clock is ticking! Little Delia (Sophie Pollono), the daughter of Billy (Billy Miller) and Chloe (Elizabeth Hendrickson) was struck by a car in a hit and run. She was taken by ambulance after a 911 call at the end of Friday's episode with her father by her side. Meanwhile, savvy fans saw that in the preview for Monday's episode, there is a dent and a piece missing from the front of Adam's car! And over the last several days fans have been revved up and upset over what may be to come.
This past week, On-Air On-Soaps had the opportunity to catch up for few with the talented Mr. Muhney to get his own preview of what is to come for Adam in this heavily dramatic storyline! Here's what he shared …
Months ago, we teased Adam's very intense and huge storyline to come, and now it is upon us. As viewers saw last week on Y&R, Adam and Chelsea's (Melissa Claire Egan) son, Connor needs an urgent corneal transplant in order for him to see, Billy (Billy Miller) and Chloe's (Elizabeth Hendrickson) daughter, Delia (Sophie Pollono) was just run down in an apparent hit and run accident, and Adam looks like he may have been the culprit who ran the little girl down! Quite the set-up for an actor to sink his teeth into!
MICHAEL: I take it as a hell of honor to play such a big story like this and be so central to it all, and work with the folks I get to work with. I think this is an amazingly unorthodox way to show Adam's humanity. So it's not a stereo-typical: "Oh, this is how we get to know Adam and his feelings, and what makes him tick." Instead you get to see him in duress caught between a rock and a hard place, and in the middle of a storm and a hurricane and that is when someone shows their real heart. I think that is where you are going to see Adam's real humanity that perhaps you never saw before.
What are your thoughts on the writing of this tale which seems to be at its core, an unthinkable tragedy that no parent would ever want to face, and the ramifications that will come out of it for so many beloved characters?
MICHAEL: People might not know this, but this is Josh Griffith's (Ex-head writer, Y&R) story. What is playing … this is what he was given a year to kind of get to this point with. And this was when Josh had knocked down all the things he wanted to knock down, and fixed what he wanted to fix, and build up what he wanted to build up, and then say, "Now I want to start telling some big stories." And this is his real big story and it's a coup de grace, but it's a beautiful farewell for him. It's a nice way for him to go out. He gets to hang his hat on what I think he told which is; a really controversial, interesting, character-driven story. Three months from now whatever is airing is no longer his. I will miss Josh. I am glad he got to tell this story and go out on a high note.
This story has already stirred controversy, and it hasn't even fully played out on-air yet, because it seems that the character of Delia will be sacrificed in order for this much larger umbrella story to play, and in particular for Adam! What reaction do you hope this story will evoke from the audience?
MICHAEL: I am really excited about this, because, as I said, it's a real character driven piece. As big as the plot is and the story is, it is very character-driven. Oh my God, I am so excited about the stuff that I shot six weeks ago in advance of what is airing. I can't wait for people to see this. I am really enthusiastic about how I think they will respond, and what they will say, and will it evoke real feelings and emotions from people on both sides of the coin? It's going to be an amazing discussion that will be out there that will go on for a long time, and I am honored to be a part of it.
When the whole baby Connor paternity reveal finally came to light to Adam, that he was indeed the biological father and Chelsea had lied to him, how do you think that played out … and how will Adam handle fatherhood moving forward? (The twosome came to an understanding to co-parent Connor, particularly in his time of need on last Thursday's episode.)
MICHAEL: Adam made a tacit agreement a long time ago to Chelsea. That when she was pregnant, he would stay away from her and the baby, and just let them live their life. I think deep down, he always knew this was his baby, but he sort of turned off that switch. But when he finally knows about his son's eye condition, he says to himself, "You were right all along. You always knew that somewhere he was yours along!" So in that moment it was, "I will never let go now He is my son there is no going back. I am going to be a kind of father I always dreamed of having. I never had a father. He just wasn't there. Then instead, I never got a father growing up, I got an adversary. I got an enemy instead of a father." So this is a chance for Adam to there from the beginning for his son and never leave his side, and do something so different, and show that Hope-side of his genetics.
So, are you looking forward to seeing Adam's emotional storyline? What do you think will happen? Do you think Adam is the guilty party who ran down little Delia? What are your thoughts knowing this was the final story created by former Y&R head writer, Josh Griffith? Comment below!

On 19/08/2012 02:41, Anne LePage (via Marc Truitt) forwarded:
Over the summer several federal libraries closed their doors for good. While most of us remain focused on what's happening at Library and Archives Canada, we can't overlook the fall out from library closures at HRSDC or Transport Canada or Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Or the cuts to libraries like Statistics Canada and Industry Canada.
The following article from iPolitics demonstrates that for some members of the public, this is not a dead issue either. The tepid response from our elected officials to letters of concern and outrage regarding these cuts should not deter us from pressing forward. I–like many of you– personally and professionally, rely on these libraries and the services provided by the librarians and library staff. It is important that we as individuals add our voices to those of our associations or professional organizations.
Closing doors on Canada's history
These developments have concerned me. I have read (what I believe to be) the main documents at http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/about-us/modernization/Pages/default.aspx, and although I have not read everything, they do use some "hot" terms, e.g. cathedral and bazaar, "digital age" and so on, but I had trouble understanding what appears to be happening because I had still not come across anything that would justify any of those actions, that is: cutting staff by 20% and expecting the creators, donors and users create the metadata, and so on.
But then I realized that the justification was clear and appeared before my very eyes: the heading "Modernization".
It seems that in the worldview of the "non-library-cataloger", especially that of the administrators, the idea of "modernization" means to get away from what catalogers have always made. For many, it is a simple fact that our library catalogs have been broken for a long time. Each person can convince him or herself of this in just a few moments by using our clunky library catalogs and giving up in despair, and compare them to the many alternatives available that the mass of people prefer–not only "relevance" type ranking but the social tools that take advantage of the so-called "wisdom of the crowd". (See, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisdom_of_the_crowd) It seems very logical to conclude that libraries need to modernize their product, and this would take advantage of the "bazaar" and "crowdsourcing".
Of course, the word "modernization" is not a neutral term but has positive connotations attached, especially today. After all, only Luddites could be against "modernization". In reality however, it would be just as correct to use the more neutral word "change" instead of "modernization" in this case because there is no real idea what would be the consequences of cutting staff and taking away professionals in metadata creation. After all, in the past there was a totally different view of the "crowd" as shown in various works, but most clearly in a famous book: MacKay's "Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" http://archive.org/search.php?query=madness%20of%20crowds%20mackay where he discusses certain illogical episodes in human history, such as the Crusades, the Tulipomania, the South Sea Bubble and other well known disasters. Recent history has shown that modern people are just as susceptible to this sort of thinking as we were in the past, but to discuss these topics would be treading dangerously close on "political matters"!
So, it is vital always to keep in mind that the words used in documents are often designed to silently guide you to certain conclusions. The term "modernization" is an example of that. Can what the LAC lays out really be termed "modernization" or is it something else? Librarians must change of course, and in my opinion, the clearest places for change are in abandoning their old workflows and changing their focus from their own, local collections to what is really and truly available to the public–not just what the library stores and/or pays for. Catalogers must also accept this popular idea of "modernization" of their catalogs, or in other words, that in the eyes of the public, the tool they are making is obsolete. That hurts, but must be accepted nevertheless before any progress can be made.
Therefore, how can what catalogers create be "modernized"? By crowdsourcing? What a strange thought.
By RDA? Clearly no.
By FRBR? Can FRBR be labelled as "modernization"? At least I for one don't think so and would hate to have to argue the "pro" side in a debate.
By linked data? Perhaps. But that could very well turn out to be similar to the Conquistador Coronado searching for the "Seven cities of gold" and still needs to be demonstrated.
How can the product of what catalogers create be "modernized"? I have tried to come up with a few ideas that could possibly work out in some fashion, but there are doubtless many many more.
So, while I agree that libraries and their catalogs need to be "modernized" I do not believe that the answers lie in cutting staff and letting the bulk of the people create catalogs. That cannot be called "modernization".
