The Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) is an annual census that collects data on the number and characteristics of individuals receiving research doctorates from accredited U.S. institutions. The SED is sponsored and funded by a consortium of federal agencies with NSF as the lead agency, providing the bulk of funding and with responsibility for implementing the survey. The National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) is the federal statistical agency within NSF that is responsible for the SED and other NSF surveys. The SED collects this information under the authority of the National Science Foundation Act of 1950 (as amended) which, in conjunction with the Privacy Act of 1974 (as amended), serves to protect the confidentiality of respondent data.
In particular, section 14(i) of the NSF Act provides that survey responses "shall not be disclosed to the public unless the information has been transformed into statistical or abstract formats that do not allow for the identification of the supplier." In addition to the restriction on public disclosure of identifiable statistical data, section 14(i) also specifically prohibits public disclosure of the "identities of individuals, organizations, and institutions supplying information" in responses to NSF/NCSES surveys.
Equally important, however, is the recognized need by NSF and within the academic community to measure the progress of women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities within the science and engineering enterprise.The Science and Engineering Equal Opportunities Act, 42 U.S.C. 1885 et seq., specifically states that "the highest quality science and engineering over the long-term requires substantial support, from currently available research and educational funds, for increased participation in science and engineering by women, minorities, and persons with disabilities." How we obtain measurable data to track that participation, while protecting the identity of survey respondents, has been the subject of much debate within the Foundation and across government and academe.
The required notice on NSF survey forms assures potential respondents that their answers will not be disclosed to the public in identifiable form. In the face of increasing resistance to responding to statistical surveys, the assurance of protection of respondents' answers from public disclosure is considered essential to the continued ability of Federal agencies to collect survey data, and was a major reason for the addition of section 14(i) to the NSF Act. The approach outlined in this report reflects the balance NSF is attempting to achieve to accomplish both goals of measuring important data and protecting the identity of respondents to the SED.
At issue here is the extent to which NSF/NCSES can report the results of the SED survey while meeting its obligation not to report data in identifiable form. Simply put, when do raw data enable the public to identify individuals in a manner that violates the NSF Act, and what other methods of reporting such data may exist that do not publicly disclose individually identifiable data, but still best meet the needs of the user community?
Tabulating multiple classification variables within a single table (e.g., field of doctoral degree by gender of doctorate recipient for particular years) creates the possibility of "small counts" in individual data cells. The danger of revealing confidential information provided by individual respondents if small cells are released is greater in the SED than in sample surveys because the SED is a census. Small counts of doctorate recipients are especially vulnerable to statistical disclosure because of the public accessibility to other data such as the University of Michigan Dissertation Abstracts which can be readily compared with SED data, and the close-knit character of some academic fields which simplify the task of linking degree counts to the names of particular individuals.
It has been a long-standing practice that Federal statistical agencies protect data provided on Federal demographic surveys (see OMB Statistical Policy Working Paper #22, 1994 (revised 2005): Report on Statistical Disclosure Limitation Methodology, at http://www.fcsm.gov/working-papers/spwp22.html).A common method for dealing with the risk of statistical disclosure of confidential information is to "suppress" (not display) the data in cells that fall below a certain threshold (sensitive cells). This technique can result in the need to suppress additional cells (complementary suppressions) to protect sensitive cells that can be calculated from marginal totals in many cases. For many years NSF/NCSES has protected confidential data collected on its demographic surveys in this way. SED tables reporting counts of doctorate recipients by race/ethnicity and by field of degree are particularly likely to yield data cells with small counts; relatively few doctoral degrees may be awarded in a single year in a given field or relatively few doctoral degrees may be awarded to members of a particular demographic group in a year. For example, data suppression is more pronounced in the sections of SED tables reporting data about underrepresented minorities.
Guidelines for implementing CIPSEA (the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002) were issued by OMB in June 2007. The publication of these guidelines prompted NCSES to systematically review the protection given to data provided by respondents across all its surveys that collect confidential data. Based on that review, NCSES concluded that, to protect the confidentiality of information provided by respondents and to apply consistent procedures across all NCSES surveys, it was necessary to alter procedures previously used in releasing data from the SED. The application of data suppression methods, which had previously been used in the SED, was expanded in the following ways in releasing the 2006 SED data.
The publication of the 2006 REG tables (with suppression) generated an immediate response from the SED data user community about the diminished access to information about underrepresented minorities. The community expressed anger that the additional confidentiality protections had been implemented without first consulting, or at least informing, relevant stakeholder groups.
NSF responded to the concerns by re-issuing 2006 Summary Report tables and 2006 REG tables using its earlier level of confidentiality protection. The updated 2006 Summary Report included fewer tables with suppressed data cells than the original release, and the updated 2006 REG tables were released, as in the past, without any data suppression. Release of SED data for 2007 and subsequent years cannot be released in this fashion and must provide greater protection of the confidentiality of the data provided by respondents than in the past. This one year delay permitted NSF/NCSES time to solicit input from the user community.
NSF/NCSES is committed to protecting the confidentiality of the respondents and providing users as much data as possible within those parameters. Therefore, NCSES began the development of alternative approaches to releasing REG data that would maximize the reporting of REG data and simultaneously meet the requirements of protecting the confidentiality of information provided by respondents. NCSES is committed to implementing an approach that could be implemented for many years, not just for release of the 2007 SED data, and developed 3 such alternative approaches. To inform the development of alternative approaches, NCSES initiated efforts to learn about the data needs and uses of the SED data user community and met with a variety of groups and individuals who were concerned about the issue. These efforts included outreach meetings on the REG tables with representatives of minority-serving doctoral degree-granting institutions, leading institutional producers of doctoral degrees to minority recipients, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) professional organizations as well as a web survey of SED data users.
Given the importance of its effort to incorporate customer feedback into new data reporting approaches, NCSES decided to release 2007 SED data in fall 2008 in a very aggregated form — a limited set of tables (http://www.norc.org/SED/2007+Selected+Tables.htm) and an InfoBrief (http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/infbrief/nsf09307) — and delay the release of the comprehensive SED 2007 Summary Report and REG tables until the new design was developed and implemented.
NCSES learned a great deal from its outreach efforts about how the community uses data from the SED and about the needs and preferences of data users. The most important and highest priority concerns NCSES heard from users were the following:
NCSES is currently finalizing a data reporting approach for future cycles of the SED REG tables. In developing this approach, NCSES is addressing all of the major concerns listed above (see below).
NCSES is currently exploring the implications of applying the approach being developed for the REG tables to other reports that disseminate SED data including the Interagency Summary Report, several Detailed Statistical Tables (DSTs) reports and the Women, Minorities and Persons with Disabilities report. It appears that the approach would have little impact on those reports. Changes will be required in the way SED data are disseminated through WebCASPAR, the electronic data system available on the NCSES website. However, it is not yet clear how changes that will simultaneously protect confidentiality and provide more useful information to users can be incorporated into the present system architecture of WebCASPAR. NCSES is undertaking a review of its entire approach, including WebCASPAR, to providing user access to its data electronically, which may provide an opportunity to design a new way of providing electronic access for the public to SED data.
NCSES has asked the Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT) to convene an Expert Panel that will hold a workshop to review and provide comments on NCSES's proposals for the REG tables beginning with the 2007 SED. The workshop will afford an opportunity for experts in the statistical confidentiality field to examine NCSES's proposed reporting approach and assess the extent to which they protect the confidentiality of data provided by SED respondents while maximizing the amount of data that can be released to meet user needs. NCSES is developing a background paper on its proposed approach which, along with the report on the outreach meeting series, will provide input to the CNSTAT panel's review. After the background paper has been submitted to CNSTAT, a memo describing NCSES's proposed REG data reporting approach in greater detail, and its rationale for the approach, will be distributed to SED stakeholders, including the Federal sponsors, CEOSE, outreach meeting participants, SED web survey respondents, and other external organizations NCSES consulted with in 2008. NCSES invites input and suggestions from the user community about the proposed approaches to disseminating SED data in the future. Comments may be sent to Mark Fiegener, Project Officer for the SED (email@example.com).
If CNSTAT has no major concerns about NCSES's proposed approach, NCSES will implement its new data reporting approach for the REG tables and release the 2007 REG tables in June 2009 (and the full 2007 Interagency Summary in summer 2009). NCSES plans that the 2008 SED data release and all future data releases will return to the pre-2007 schedule, with the full Summary Report released in November of each year. Beginning with the 2007 REG Tables, NCSES will publish them as a regular NSF Detailed Statistical Tables (DST) Report, available electronically on the NCSES website at no cost.

BLProt: prediction of bioluminescent proteins based on support vector machine and relieff feature selection

BMC Bioinformatics 2011, 12:345 doi:10.1186/1471-2105-12-345Published: 17 August 2011
Bioluminescence is a process in which light is emitted by a living organism. Most creatures that emit light are sea creatures, but some insects, plants, fungi etc, also emit light. The biotechnological application of bioluminescence has become routine and is considered essential for many medical and general technological advances. Identification of bioluminescent proteins is more challenging due to their poor similarity in sequence. So far, no specific method has been reported to identify bioluminescent proteins from primary sequence.
In this paper, we propose a novel predictive method that uses a Support Vector Machine (SVM) and physicochemical properties to predict bioluminescent proteins. BLProt was trained using a dataset consisting of 300 bioluminescent proteins and 300 non-bioluminescent proteins, and evaluated by an independent set of 141 bioluminescent proteins and 18202 non-bioluminescent proteins. To identify the most prominent features, we carried out feature selection with three different filter approaches, ReliefF, infogain, and mRMR. We selected five different feature subsets by decreasing the number of features, and the performance of each feature subset was evaluated.
BLProt achieves 80% accuracy from training (5 fold cross-validations) and 80.06% accuracy from testing. The performance of BLProt was compared with BLAST and HMM. High prediction accuracy and successful prediction of hypothetical proteins suggests that BLProt can be a useful approach to identify bioluminescent proteins from sequence information, irrespective of their sequence similarity.

CINCINNATI (MarketWatch) -- After breaking down last week, the U.S. markets have rallied respectably from the March lows.
In the process, the S&P has risen to significant resistance just above the 1,300 mark, and its response to this area should set the near-term technical tone.
The S&P 500's hourly chart details the past three weeks.
As illustrated, the S&P has rallied to significant overhead in the 1,300-to-1,302 area.
The index topped Monday at 1,300, and a break atop this area would strengthen the bull case.
Meanwhile, the Dow industrials' near-term backdrop is similar.
In its case, the blue-chip benchmark topped Monday at 12,078, also matching resistance.
On further strength, additional overhead holds at 12,150 (not illustrated) and is followed by more significant resistance around 12,285.
And not surprisingly, the Nasdaq Composite is lagging behind the other benchmarks.
From current levels, initial resistance holds around 2,705 and is followed by more significant overhead in the 2,724-to-2,730 area.
Conversely, initial support spans from 2,675-to-2,682, an area matching the 2010 peak.
Widening the view to six months adds perspective.
With this week's upturn, the Nasdaq has gapped back atop the 2010 peak of 2,675. Monday's low held at 2,674.99.
Still, the index faces additional overhead at its 50-day moving average -- currently 2,742 -- and a break atop this level is needed to neutralize the March breakdown.
Moving to the Dow, its six-month backdrop remains stronger.
In fact, the index has edged nominally back atop its 50-day moving average.
The Dow's 50-day currently holds at 12,029, and the index closed Monday seven points higher, at 12,036.
And the S&P 500 has risen to what may be the most important technical test.
As detailed repeatedly, two technical areas stand out:
- The S&P's January peak of 1,302.
- The S&P's 50-day moving average, currently 1,303.
This area roughly matches a one-month downtrend, and a decisive break higher likely places market bulls back on the offensive.
The bigger picture
After breaking down last week, the U.S. markets have rallied respectably from the March lows.
In the process, a technical divergence has emerged that's worth considering.
Namely, both small- and mid-caps are showing signs of a pulse, while the broadly-based market benchmarks -- which are technically more important -- continue to lag behind.
Starting with the small-caps, the iShares Russell 2000 Index has broken back atop its 20-day and 50-day moving averages.
To be clear, the rally has been distinctly unimpressive -- driven by lighter volume and weak market breadth -- but the group's break higher raises a caution flag for market bears.
Moving to the mid-caps, the SPDR S&P MidCap 400's backdrop is similar.
Namely, the MDY has edged back atop its 20-day and 50-day moving averages driven by unimpressive volume.
While the upturn places the brakes on bearish momentum, the quality of the rally raises a technical question mark.
Moving up the company-size scale, the S&P 500's SPY, +0.06% backdrop remains weaker.
And this is the most important major benchmark.
Consider the following technical areas:
- The S&P's 20-day moving average currently holds at 1,298.
- The January peak rests at 1,302.
- The S&P's 50-day moving average holds at 1,303.
Against this backdrop, the index topped Monday at 1,300, before pulling in to close at 1,298.
Here again, the recent rally attempt has come on lighter volume, and the index has yet to clear significant resistance.
Also consider that the NYSE turned just under 3-to-1 positive breadth in Monday's action. Lukewarm internals given the Dow's 178-point spike.

Made this for Thanksgiving. Made as directed(added whole ginger and took it out before serving). I did hold back on some of the sugar and chopped the cherries in half. I didn't care for the result. Too sweet and not tart enough. Had lots left over so my guests didn't care for it either.flag if inappropriate
I don't think I've ever met a (non-canned) cranberry sauce I didn't like, but I like this one a lot. The tartness of it was perfect for me. As others have noted, the recipe doesn't specify whether the ginger should be chopped/grated or just simmered with the sauce and then removed. I chopped it finely and it's noticeable but not overpowering. I didn't cut the cherries at all, and they *are* bigger than the cranberries, but that's OK by me. I did mash the whole thing up a bit with a wooden spoon while it was simmering, which broke up some of the cherries a little.flag if inappropriate
So yummy and smooth . I didn't have any amaretto so I used whiskey and then a 1/4 cup of red wine.flag if inappropriate
Easy to make, smells wonderful, my guests liked it but I did notflag if inappropriate
I didn't chop or grate the ginger, and I think that may be needed if you want to taste that flavor more strongly. It's barely detectable as is, I'd like to hear whether those who did chop the ginger think it is too strong. The cinnamon adds a nice flavor, and as I did not have amaretto I used a teaspoon of almond extract which gives just enough flavor to notice. I like tart dishes but agree that this needed more sugar.flag if inappropriate
I agree that the recipe was unclear on several matters. I finely chopped the ginger also, since there were no instructions to remove it at any point. I also halved the cherries so they were similar in size to the cranberries. I found it needed more sugar, and I also added 2 t. unflavored gelatin to bind it. We'll see what the family thinks at the Thanksgiving dinner!flag if inappropriate
I, too, grated the ginger, which I think is what the recipe writer intended (I can't see sauteing one lump of ginger with a bunch of cinnamon powder). I used the the ingredients as specified, but halved the cherries -- thought they'd be too big and sparse in the sauce otherwise. Also, I stopped simmering after 15 minutes so the pectins wouldn't break down. The result was good, though a bit tart; I'll try adding a little more sugar next time I make it (tonight).flag if inappropriate
Should sweet or sour cherries be used? At first glance, it seems that sour cherries are called for. This sounds like such an interesting recipe which needs some fine-tuning.flag if inappropriate
I didn't use the whole bag of cherries, and I fine grated the ginger. Made it last night and will taste again today. Thought a small bit of fresh lemon juice might be good, too.flag if inappropriate
Ediethat, the way I read the recipe, I wouldn't chop the ginger. Rather, just cook the peeled piece of ginger and then take it out before serving. However, I wonder what it would be like to reduce the amount of sugar and instead add chopped candied ginger which you could add and then just keep in the sauce. Might add some nice zing?flag if inappropriate

When she returned to Kansas City last month for the annual SkillsUSA competition, Adell Mastro arrived with her latest quilt creation. A queen-size quilt, "Kansas City: Thank You And Farewell," had been designed and then hand stitched by the Newtown resident, and was was her entry for this year's national convention. During a fundraising auction on June 27, Mrs Mastro's quilt sold for more than $2,000, going to the same woman who has purchased all three of the Newtown resident's previous offerings.
"I Hate Hamlet," the current production by Town Players of Newtown at The Little Theatre, is the 20th full-length play at the Orchard Hill Road theater in which director Ruth Anne Baumgartner has had the pleasure of directing actor Rob Pawlikowski. She has directed other actors multiple times, but none more than the Roxbury resident who has become her "A-list" choice and personal friend. It is, no doubt, not the last time that the two will collaborate to bring entertainment and thoughtful contemplation to local audiences. A rapport built on mutual respect has created a bond that makes Ms Baumgartner frequently pencil in Mr Pawlikowski's name when contemplating a play selection, and one in which the actor is loathe to turn down an opportunity to work with her, no matter how much of a character stretch she asks him to make.
What would you do, if you had only a third of the funds necessary to present a $30,000 event? If you are the Newtown Labor Day Parade Committee, you would have faith, and move forward with the plans for the 53rd annual parade, scheduled to put its best foot forward Monday, September 1, at 10 am.
Newtown, from a cat's point of view.
A look back at Newtown 25, 50, 75, and 100 years ago.
Rock star Dennis DeYoung has performed before millions of fans as a musician and actor; has been honored with a number one hit and People's Choice Award for his touching ballad, "Babe" as a member of the rock band Styx; and has contributed his creative talents to full-scale musical productions. But he told The Newtown Bee this week that one of the most touching and memorable experiences of his career occurred July 12 when he visited Newtown to sit in on a rehearsal of The 12.14 Foundation's read-through of a brand new version of The 101 Dalmatians Musical, for which he wrote the score. Performances of "Dalmatians," as well as "A ROCKIN' Midsummer Night's Dream," are in rehearsals, with more than 100 Newtown children working alongside Broadway professionals for shows that will be performed over the first two weekends of August.
A weekly profile of a local person.
Marilyn Hart and Adam Stordy are the famous gunslinging outlaws Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, who are in turns loving and playful and angry and quarrelsome in Adam Peck's play about the pair, currently in production at TheatreWorks New Milford. As the titular characters come to terms with the inevitability of a losing confrontation with the law, they spend time holed up in a barn as fugitives. Taking poignant and awkward steps towards intimacy as they try repeatedly to connect, the play offers a glimpse of the vulnerability and naiveté of two of America's most infamous criminals.
After several challenging years straddling two separate agricultural industries, Jim and Sue Shortt of Sandy Hook have gone with their gut — settling on the line of products they hope will please everyone else's gut, that is. The popular Riverside Road farm and garden center has formally phased out its garden supply component, and has stocked the coolers, shelves and bins of their new farm stand with fresh Newtown and Connecticut-grown veggies and fruits. To supplement their stock, the Shortt family has developed relationships with numerous state specialty food makers who are supplying the Newtown store with a cornucopia of products from trail mix to jams, milk, sauces and, of course, Ferris Acres Creamery ice cream.
Luise and Shawn Gleason plan on running away. This summer, the Gleasons will build their own tiny traveling house, and take it with them wherever they go. During a recent interview, the couple flipped through glossy pages of blueprints and design features for mini homes — living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms or lofts, all downsized to (in the Gleasons' case) roughly 170 square feet. Mr Gleason pointed to tape marks on the floor, where he had mapped out the footprint of their soon-to-be tiny house, named The Runaway Shanty. Its length was about ten casual paces, and its width slightly wider than Mr Gleason's outstretched arms. Their design concept is based on the Cypress design through the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company. Already prepped and insulated is the trailer that will carry their tiny house. Walking between the tape marks, Ms Gleason started at one end of the space, and described what she envisioned.

For a mod with so much stolen content and such little effort put into it, it's amazing the file-size is so ridiculously large.
Don't bother.
Mod Review on Jun 23rd, 2013 - 5 people agree
The maps are poorly assembled killboxs with enemies thrown left and right, and it is so short and so buggy it makes you wonder just why this download file is so obnoxiously large.
Don't bother.

About as welcoming as stubbing your bare toe on a serrated steel grate in a mad sprint.
This "Funny" mod quickly wears itself thin before you even get to the Anti-Mass-Spectrometer, with needlessly repeated ramblings and quips that that are apparently supposed to be jokes that assault your ear drums.
Play this if you are desperate for a quick chuckle, nothing less, nothing more.
Any more, is suicide.
Mod Review on Jan 30th, 2013
This isn't even an alpha, considering how badly it's been done. Why anybody would consider releasing a mod like this in such a state is baffling.

Unbelievably hard and poorly made, in terms of texturing, mapping and scripting.
Possibly worth the download to see just how bad this mod is.

Kamil Janda must have a brain ulcer or something, because the idea of creating a sequel to Red Mesa is simply mad.
And here it is, just as bad as it's predecessor. Just go outside and count sand, it's more fun and productive then playing this.
Mod Review on Aug 22nd, 2012 - 2 people agree 1 person doesn't
I can honestly say I have never seen something quite this bad before, and I thought I had seen the worst.
Literally no attempt was made in the mapping, lighting and enemy placement. It's just a row of ugly *** rooms tied together with enemies.
There is nothing worth noting positively. Please, play something that actually had effort put into it, damn, I'd recommend Boom over this.

heavy pieces, good quality. love the map pattern on it.Read More
In person these are kind of a vintage looking burlappy linen. Gorgeous and what a great price.Read More
The design is cute but the fabric (sort of a burlap, potato sack fabric) is puckered in several places. I loaded these trunks down with books, which I know weigh a lot, but considering that they are trunks, I expected them to be a bit sturdier. I'm waiting for the day the handles rip away from the sides - they feel a little shaky so I try not to use them often.Read More
I purchased these to provide storage in a couple of different rooms in the house. When I found that they were covered with the burlap material, I had to adjust where I put them since they would not be impervious to spills or cat claws.Read More
This is a great set of trunks! We wanted to them for a storage option that would still look nice. They are heavy and sturdy and they look really cool. We have had a few compliments on them already. My only complain is that the color is pretty different from the image. I thought the edging was red and the sides were more of a tan color. The edging actually looks more brown and the sides are like a burlap sack. Regardless, they still fit nicely with our decor, but don't purchase them if you're expecting red.Read More
I was very happy with the look of these trunks. They have lovely images of weathered maps on them--a very current and stylish look. They are also very well constructed and sturdy. This is a great way to store infrequently used items right out in the open. They look fantastic in my room.Read More
Bought this set of trunks to use in the living room as coffee table, when I received I was pleasantly surprised. I applied old looking luggage stickers on them which I had purchase on a different site, the results are fantasticRead More

In a unique study involving young boa constrictors, University of Cincinnati researchers put snakes to work on varying diameters and flexibility of vertical rope to examine how they might move around on branches and vines to gather food and escape enemies in their natural habitat. The findings by Greg Byrnes, a University of Cincinnati postdoctoral fellow in the department of biological sciences, and Bruce C. Jayne, a UC professor of biology, are published in the December issue of The Journal of Experimental Biology.
For many Americans, it was the most dreaded moment in gym class: the challenge to wrap oneself around a vertical rope and climb as high as possible. Some of us couldn't even get off the floor. But for other animals even with no arms, no hands, no legs and no feet that climbing ability is a necessity to survive.
The UC researchers sent the snakes climbing up varying widths and tensions of ropes as they explored snake movement in relation to their musculoskeletal design and variation in their environment.
They found that regardless of diameter or flexibility of the rope, the snakes alternated curving between left and right as they climbed the ropes. On the thicker ropes, they were able to move greater portions of their bodies forward as they climbed. As the ropes became thinner and more flimsy, the snakes used more of their bodies including their back, sides and belly to manipulate the rope for climbing.
"Despite the likely physical and energetic challenges, the benefits of the ability to move on narrow and compliant substrates might have large ecological implications for animals," write the authors. "Arboreal organisms must often feed or hunt in the terminal branch niche, which requires the ability to move safely on narrow and compliant substrates."
Jayne points out that although the large muscles of boa constrictors make them fairly stocky and heavy compared to other snakes, this anatomy pr

Articles about hosted projects
I've been following the java.net website for a long time, and the current format makes me wonder if the site still encourages articles about projects hosted on java.net.
I wasn't able to find the old authour-guidelines, style-guides, or even a link that enables mailing to the editor.
Does the site still accept article proposals? What is the proposal submission process?
Hi Sanjay. I'm the java.net Editor. We don't publish as many articles as we used to on java.net, but we're still very interested in publishing articles about java.net projects. The current procedure is to send a message to my editor_at_java.net email address, describing what you'd like to write about. I'll then send you the java.net HTML article template, and you can use that for formatting your article for publication on java.net.

Oil near $94 as China inflation picks up
BANGKOK - Oil prices edged down Friday following a rise in China's inflation that if sustained could limit measures to support growth.
Benchmark oil for February delivery was down 3 cents to $93.79 per barrel at late afternoon Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The contract rose 72 cents to finish at $93.82 a barrel in New York on Thursday, a gain that traders attributed to a rebound in China's trade growth, which suggests a possible recovery in global demand.
Data released Thursday showed China's export growth in December more than quadrupled from the previous month's level to 14 percent. Imports rose 6 percent, after failing to grow at all in November, in a sign of increasing domestic demand.
It was tempered, however, by data Friday that showed China's inflation spiked to a six-month high in December. Consumer prices rose 2.5 percent over a year earlier, the National Bureau of Statistics said.
La. income tax filing begins Jan. 30

"We have to be rather careful about submitting our patients to real risks of real surgeries for problems they may or may not have," Buchsbaum said.
In her practice, about eight or nine of 10 women undergoing the prolapse surgery opt to wait and see before getting the sling surgery; one or two say, "'Let's get it over with,'" Buchsbaum said.
After these findings, Buchsbaum said she would be no more apt to encourage women to get the sling surgery at the same time. "This is a study that should help us counsel our patient, not to change practice," she said. "We should not underplay the risk of surgery. The risks are low, but risks are real and for the person who has the complication, it's quite real."
About one in five women will have surgery to repair pelvic organ prolapse in her lifetime, according to the study authors. Some 200,000 women undergo the surgery each year.

Al DiGuido | September 20, 2007 | Comments
Two shining examples of e-mail relevance.
Am I actually beginning to see the light at the end of what has been a very long tunnel?
I write these words in the hope some of you will gain some insight or a scrap of knowledge that will help you better leverage the power of what's an incredible e-communications platform. At times it becomes frustrating when month after month, we cover e-mail topics ad nauseam, and the net result is a substandard norm. The fact remains: consumers are growing increasingly impatient about the lack of relevance in the way we marketers communicate with them.
There are a select few, however, who have learned their lessons very well.
W: Mission Accomplished
I recently visited my daughter in Los Angeles for our long overdue father-daughter weekend. Having traveled frequently most of my life, I wasn't all that excited about spending yet another weekend in a hotel. Rosie put me up in the Westwood W Hotel. W Hotels has hotels throughout the country, and as a New Yorker I've passed by one of its trendy entrances several times.
I knew there was something cool about the place, and that was about the extent of my experience with the brand. Pointing me to the Web site, Rosie directed me to book a room (informing me the pool was very hip). The site was intriguing and graphically exciting. I chalked it up to the work of an overcaffeinated creative director.
Then the experience started.
Two weeks before my stay, I received an e-mail from the W Hotel's manager asking me personally if anything could be done during my stay to make it extra special. The message offered me a range of services, including dinner reservations and in-room massages. What was really great about the e-mail was the hotel seemed genuinely excited that I was coming to stay with them. What a concept.
A week before my stay, I received another e-mail with a 360-degree view of my room. It also let me know there was construction work going on at the hotel but assured me it wouldn't interfere with my stay. When I arrived at the hotel late Friday night, my room was upgraded to a suite at no charge.
E-mail messages during my stay asked if there was need for any assistance. All maintained the same cool, funky appeal of the earlier campaigns and the hotel's DNA. On Monday morning, I received an e-mail message from the hotel manager thanking me for my stay and asking for recommendations on improving the overall service. And largely because of these personalized, customer-focused communications, the hotel experience couldn't have been better.
Two weeks after my stay I received a survey from the hotel, asking me to grade my overall level of satisfaction. Like you, I have received many surveys over the years and never fill them in. The W Hotel earned my business, and I felt obligated to let it know just how great I felt the experience was. I gladly filled in the survey. Another e-mail arrived, thanking me for my time.
In all I received some 8 or 10 e-mail messages over a four-week period. While that frequency may seem over the top, each e-mail was exciting and personalized, contained great value, and engaged me in a dialogue.
Mission accomplished. W did it right. As a result, I can't wait to stay there again.
It really isn't all that difficult to build this type of relationship with customers via e-mail. Someone at the W must be focused on leveraging data and communicating with customers in a much more compelling way. I've stayed in hotels all my professional life, but prior to this Westwood experience, no one treated me this way.
Zoots: Follow-Up Master
Then there's my dry cleaner, Zoots.
About two weeks ago, the Zoots clerk requested my e-mail address. Why? Zoots wants to send reminder messages when my dry cleaning is done. These guys actually follow up! Now after dropping off my dry cleaning, I get e-mail alerts with each item in my order, the order price, and the day it will be ready. If I don't pick up the cleaning, I get regular daily reminders. Pretty simple right?
Like the W Hotel, Zoots gets it.
With all of the craziness going on in my house these days, the Zoots reminder is another example of a marketer who's thinking like her customers and providing e-communications that are truly relevant and useful.
I really hope the e-mail marketing professionals at Zoots and the W Hotel are regular ClickZ readers. All of us who write these columns would love to feel as though what we're writing is taking hold in the marketplace.
We can dream, can't we?
Until next time...be relevant!

Hi All,
I'm a long time lurker, but I think this is my first time posting. I'd love some feedback on this pic. I'm a tough girl, so feel free to criticize harshly.
This was an impromptu little shoot. I usually just shoot natural light, natural settings. It's the first time I've used a background (just white fadeless). Natural light. It was not an ideal time of day in terms of the light - around 1:00 pm - but it was ideal in that my 3 year old was not home so I was actually able to try it out. :)
I don't do a lot of editing, usually, so I'd really love feedback on that. Is it too warm? I added an adjustment layer (hard light, 50% opacity) which I like, but I'm not sure if it makes it too fake looking or not.
Pix in next post. Thanks in advance for any input.

September 2015
The tour was as advertised, we felt it was well organised and the glacier leader, Nick, was professional and very good as a leader.
The only problem we experienced was the requirement for us the print the e-mailed voucher. As a tourist travelling internationally, we had no access to a printer and could not understand the requirement for the printed voucher as the reception desk already had our details.
Otherwise, a very enjoyable experience.

glacier walk was awesome and great experiece
July 2015
A must do . A word of caution- You have to be moderately fit - I am 60 Years and found the steps and slopes a bit steep - will do it again if I get an opportunity. We visited in in Mid April and had to extend our stay by a day as the weather was bad on the day we originally scheduled the trip.
June 2015
Great fun! Our guide Rob was fantastic - very knowledgeable and made the trip more enjoyable with his stories along the way. The helicopter trip to the glacier was outstanding, as was the trek itself. Plenty of time on the glacier to explore. The service from these guys is A

VB has said she was there and did laugh but then so did several other people who heard it so why single out VB for something she didn't do?

Watch Michael Clayton: Michael Clayton, a high-priced-law-firm's fixer, leaves a late-night poker game, gets a call to drive to Westchester, and watches his car blow up as he's taking an impromptu dawn walk through a field. Flash back four days. He owes a loan shark to cover his brother's debts (Michael's own gambling habits have left him virtually broke). His law firm is negotiating a high-stakes merger, and his firm's six-year defense of a conglomerate's pesticide use is at risk when one of the firm's top litigators goes off his meds and puts the case in jeopardy. While Michael is trying to fix things, someone decides to kill him. Who? Meanwhile, his son summarizes the plot of a dark fantasy novel.

We were traveling in Alberta and were staying at several different hotels. By far the Silver Creek Lodge was the best. The lobby was inviting, the receptionist very friendly and informative. We really got into the architecture of the whole building complex. It was very well planned, very good materials were used, it was a feel about the whole place that was pleasant and comfortable. From the waterfalls at the entrance, the fire place in the lobby, the under ground parking, and our room was great! We really liked the full bath, platform bed, luxury bedding and towels, etc. It was a step above most hotels. I would imagine in the winter it would be even more inviting, as it seemed to be geared for that season most of all. We did have breakfast a few doors down the street, Craig's, and we had the most wonderful breakfast along with a great view of the mountains. We would go back to both, no problem.

Have you ever lost it and just wanted to scream? We did when we spent time in India, amidst the crowds and hustle, with little sleep and constantly on the go. There were definitely times when we would lose our cool, get irritated, and lash out at each other unnecessarily.
The ability to keep our peace and maintain an even-balanced state means recognizing that even though there are situations in which we have no control over what happens and no ability to affect the outcome, it is still possible to maintain our balance so that we can remain unshakable in a world that is constantly making demands and creating challenges.
"Usually, when we feel the pressure of life — when it is very busy with all kinds of commotion taking place around us — then we go onto autopilot mode, a state of self-protection and self-preservation. We think everyone is attacking us or taking advantage of us, and we cannot see anyone or anything objectively or lovingly. When our mind can relax a little and become calm and more spacious, then we see there is nothing to fear." Ponlop Rinpoche, from our book Be The Change
So what are the best ways to keep our cool? How do we transform a volatile situation before we start taking it out on those around us? Here are five ways that work for us:
1. This Too Shall Pass: Just imagine if everything was permanent. Imagine if we were always the same: There would be no butterflies, no full moon, no ocean tides, no cherry blossoms, and no cherries! We never know what is going to happen or when; nothing is predictable, permanent, secure, controllable, or dependable. Everything is subject to change in every moment. Which means that even this stressed out state will pass. Impermanence is our reality, so when we resist it, then we are resisting the very meaning of being here, which is to always be evolving or becoming something more than what we were before.
2. Talking Heads: We are often asked what one thing we believe has made our marriage work as long as it has, despite many ups and downs, and we both agree it is communication. When we start to lose our cool then we become unable to share our feelings and we remain locked in a separate world from each other.
"We define ourselves as separate beings, and if we are separate, then we have to put a wall up around ourselves. We have to protect ourselves and our feelings so that no one else can get to them. Our problems are because this wall does not just protect us, but it also locks us out of our own hearts and so we continue to be isolated and to suffer." Krishna Das, from Be The Change

Sinotrans Shipping's Profit Declines on Lower Interest Income
Sinotrans Shipping Ltd., the dry-bulk arm of China's third-largest shipping group, said first-half profit fell 8.7 percent, mainly on reduced interest income.
Net income fell to $58.5 million, or 1.46 cents a share, from $64 million, or 1.6 cents, a year earlier, the company said in a Hong Kong stock exchange statement today. Sales rose 12 percent to $133.7 million, mainly on increased dry-bulk revenue.
Pacific Basin Shipping Ltd., Hong Kong's biggest dry-bulk line, also boosted revenue in the period as China's rising imports of iron ore, a key steelmaking ingredient, boosted freight rates. The Baltic Dry Index, a measure of commodity- shipping costs, traded at an average 3,163 in the first half of this year, 49 percent higher than a year earlier.
Sinotrans Shipping, a unit of Sinotrans & CSC Holdings Co., fell 0.3 percent to close at HK$3.38 in Hong Kong today. The stock has fallen 6.1 percent this year, compared with a 0.3 percent decline for the benchmark Hang Seng Index.
First-half dry-bulk shipping sales rose 14 percent to $125.2 million, oil-tanker sales increased 70 percent to $8.61 million and container-shipping sales fell 9.3 percent to $9.76 million, Sinotrans Shipping said. Finance income fell to $4.96 million from $14.6 million, it said.
The company said it will pay an interim dividend of 2 Hong Kong cents per share.
Sinotrans Group in April said it may buy overseas dry-bulk vessel owners on the rebound in demand. The group had talked to at least five shipowners in southeast Asia and the Middle East, Assistant President Li Zhen said in an interview at a conference in Tokyo. Buying logistics companies worldwide was also being considered, he said.
Pacific Basin boosted first-half sales by 45 percent to $616.5 million.
China Ocean Shipping (Group) Co., China Shipping Group Co., and Sinotrans Group, the nation's three largest shipping companies, are all state-controlled.

A study has called into question the use of diabetes treatments in the early stages of the disease.
The report, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, revealed that people suffering from type two diabetes may not benefit from the two most common drug treatments.
Instead, the study advises that patients should be encouraged to improve their diets and take more exercise.
Dr Victoria King, research manager at Diabetes UK, commented: "The front-line of defence for someone at risk of type two diabetes would be diet and exercise treatment. This should be considered first and has shown to be most effective in delaying or preventing the progression to type two diabetes.
"The drug treatments tested in this study are proven to be effective once someone has type two diabetes but as the results of this study show, not as effective in people at risk of the condition."
The large-scale study looked at around 9,000 people, among whom exercise and diet proved to be the most effective methods of preventing the development of the disease.

This Excel tutorial explains how to use the Excel DAVERAGE function with syntax and examples.
The Microsoft Excel DAVERAGE function averages all numbers in a column in a list or database, based on a given criteria.
The syntax for the DAVERAGE function in Microsoft Excel is:
DAVERAGE( range, field, criteria )
The DAVERAGE function can be used in the following versions of Microsoft Excel:
The DAVERAGE function can be used in Microsoft Excel as the following type of function:
Let's look at some Excel DAVERAGE function examples and explore how to use the DAVERAGE function as a worksheet function in Microsoft Excel:
Based on the Excel spreadsheet above, the following DAVERAGE examples would return:
=DAVERAGE(A4:D8, "Unit Cost", A1:B2) Result: 3.995 =DAVERAGE(A4:D8, 3, A1:B2) Result: 3.995 =DAVERAGE(A4:D8, "Quantity", A1:A2) Result: 6.666667 =DAVERAGE(A4:D8, 2, A1:A2) Result: 6.666667
You can also use a named range in the DAVERAGE function. For example, we've created a named range called orders that refers to Sheet1!$A$4:$D$8.
Then we've entered the following data in Excel:
Based on the Excel spreadsheet above, the following DAVERAGE examples would return:
=DAVERAGE(orders, "Total Cost", A1:B2) Result: 30.44 =DAVERAGE(orders, 4, A1:B2) Result: 30.44
To view named ranges: Under the Insert menu, select Name > Define.
