No points at this time.
With the 2nd Annual Open Wheel Nationals fast approaching, details on the racing format for the weekend have been released. The Friday night June 28 program will see feature races in all four divisions, as the mighty modifieds take to the track for a full program along with the WISSOTA Midwest Mods and UMSS Traditional Sprints. The UMSS Winged 360 sprints will also run a full preliminary program with the exact format determined by car count. The modifieds and Midwest mods will use a draw/redraw format with 24 cars qualifying for their feature races. The UMSS Traditional Sprints will run their usual race program consisting of heat races, with the lineup determined by draw, and then the feature race lineup will be determined by passing/finishing points from the heat races with the high point driver pulling the invert pill.
For the UMSS winged sprints, the format for the Friday night premlinary program will be determined by car count as indicated below.
40 cars or more: Draw for heat races. (4) Heats will be run unless 48 or more cars are on hand, then (6) heats will be run. Passing/finishing points will be earned in the heat races. Following the heat races, cars will be divided into two groups based on the points they earned in their heat race alternating from the top on down (example: high point to group 1, 2nd to group 2, 3rd to group 1, 4th to group 2 and so on).The top (20) cars in points in each group will run a feature race with the lineup determined by heat race points (straight-up start). Each feature race will be 20 laps in distance and pay $1,000 to win. Standard UMSS points will be earned in the feature races. Feature race points will be added to the heat race points to determine a drivers total point score for the night. The top (6) drivers in over all points at the end of the night will automatically transfer to the pole dash and championship feature races on Saturday night.
33-39 cars: Draw for heat races. (4) heats will be run with passing/finishing points earned. The top (16) cars in passing/finishing points after the heat races will be locked into the "A" Feature (straight-up start). The remaining cars will run one or two "B" Features depending on car count with the top four or top two cars transferring to the back of the "A" Feature. Cars not transferring to the "A" Feature (non-qualifiers) will earn "B" Feature points. The "A" Feature race will be 25 laps in distance and pay $1,500 to win. Standard UMSS points will be earned in the feature race. Feature race points (or non-qualifier points) will be added to the heat race points to determine a drivers total point score for the night. The top (6) drivers in over all points at the end of the night will automatically transfer to the pole dash and championship feature races on Saturday night.
32 cars or less: Draw for heat races. Number of heats will be determined by car count (3 or 4 heats). Drivers will earn passing/finishing points in their heat races. All cars will transfer to (2) Challenge Races. The invert for Challenge Race starting positions is determined by finishing positions in each heat race. Typically, the last two finishing positions in each heat race do not make the invert. Passing/finishing points will be awarded in each Challenge Race. Heat race and Challenge race points will be combined with the top (20) cars in points transferring to the feature. The high point driver will draw for the feature race invert (0, 4 or 6) with the remainder of the field lining straight-up. The feature race will be 25 laps in distance and pay $1,500 to win. Standard UMSS points will be earned in the feature race. Feature race points will be added to the heat and Challenge race points to determine a drivers total point score for the night. The top (6) drivers in over all points at the end of the night will automatically transfer to the pole dash and championship feature races on Saturday night.
On Saturday June 29, the UMSS Traditional Sprints and unsanctioned Midwest mods will run full programs with the same race format as they did on Friday night. The UMSS Winged sprints will run heat races for all but the top (6) cars in points from Friday night. Draw for heat races. The number of heats will be determined by the number of cars on hand. Passing/finishing points will be earned in the heat races and those points will be added to a drivers Friday night point score. The top (4) drivers in combined points after the heats will start the championship feature race in positions 7 - 10. The top (6) drivers in points from Friday night will run a six lap Pole Dash with starting positions determined by draw. The order of finish in the Pole Dash will determine the first six starting positions in the championship feature. The remaining drivers will run (2) Last Chance Races with the top five finishers in each race transferring to the championship feature straight-up in positions 11 - 20. The lineup for the Last Chance Races will be straight-up by total points. The championship feature race will be 35 laps in distance and pay $5,000 to win.
The UMSS winged sprints certainly have an entertaining race format based on the car count. Should the Friday night show rain out, the Saturday night program will have the scheduled classes of cars. The UMSS winged sprints would then utilize their standard one night race format based on number of cars (32 or less or 33 or more). If the Saturday night show rains out, there is no rain date due to the World of Outlaws show at CLS on Sunday night. The Minnesota Mafia will be participating both nights at the Open Wheel Nationals with Hard Charger and Tough Luck Awards. The Minnesota Mafia is a premier race fan group based in Jackson, MN providing outstanding support to the sprint car racing community here in the Upper Midwest. GRP Motorsports has also added some money to both the Traditional and UMSS winged sprint purses.
Pit gates open at 2:00 PM on both Friday and Saturday with the stands opening at 4:00 PM each day. Draw cut-off will be 6:20 PM. The UMSS drivers meeting will be held at 6:00 PM each night. Hot laps are scheduled for 6:40 with racing action to follow. There will be an open practice session on Thurday night June 27 for all classes of cars. The Thursday night practice will be held from 6:00-9:00 PM with pit gates opening at 4:00 PM. The cost for practice is $30.00 per car (includes driver). All others in the pits will be $5 each on Thursday. Stands are free Thursday night.
Free camping will be available at the track (no hook-ups). The race will be broadcast on XSAN.tv one of the premier video internet broadcasting companies in the nation. Pit passes each night are $35 for adults. The UMSS winged sprints ONLY have a $125 entry fee that covers both Friday and Saturday night. If the success of the inaugural Open Wheel Nationals last year is any indication, the second edition of this event should be an outstanding two nights of racing at the 1/4 mile dirt oval located near St. Croix Falls, WI. Racers and fans will certainly want to make plans to attend the 2nd Annual Open Wheel Nationals on June 28-29.

Coaching off the Bike was a workshop I recently taught at the Mind Body FitPro conference. I was inspired to create the workshop because I have always thought it to be important to get off the bike for at least part of every class and that it is an option to teach the entire class from the floor. The Spinning® program promotes the idea of being a coach because it enables you (the instructor) to give better feedback, allows for classroom management and keeps your focus on the participants rather than on your own workout.
The following are some tips to make coaching on the floor seem a natural part of your class.
1. Let your participants know you will be off the bike to coach on the floor during a particular part of the class and what the purpose is (form check, hand position check, individually timed drills, heart rate check).
2. Be prepared with your profile on a clip board, clock or stop watch, metronome, whistle, and know your music well, so you can use it to cue the riders since you won't be on the bike to show them when to sit or stand, pick up the cadence or slow it down. Think of the tools of the trade and use them.
3. Be prepared to be as energetic on the floor as you are on the bike. Move around, smile, engage people. Make being on the floor exciting and meaningful.
After teaching on the floor, I have often noted that students ask questions about technique or about where they might feel discomfort. These are opportunities for me to give better service to my customers and it builds trust when they know I am available to help them.
If you are not used to getting off the bike, start with one song each class and see how that works. One day, you may need or want to teach entirely on the floor and you should have that option.

Greetings from Pattaya, Thailand! I'm here for the AFC (Asia Fitness Convention) gathering up CECs and recharging my batteries in all things fitness, but I'm so disappointed to report that there is not one Spinning® bike to be seen! No other cycle classes represented even... How can that possibly be? Well, I have no idea, but the one thing about not filling up my schedule with all things cycling is that I've gotten to go to some great classes. Hard to single out what a highlight would be, when all seem like highlights, but I'm glad to have attended the all day ACE GEL (Group Exercise Leadership) Specialty Certification course.
This course addresses a big gap in the fitness industry - this course is for people who become Zumba instructors, water aerobics instructors, indoor cycling instructors and other kinds of instructors but who have no certification as a group fitness instructor. Pretty cool - it is like a condensed course. I went in the other way - did that big general course a hundred years ago and then began to specialize.
To me, it seems that, as new types of classes and their subsequent certifications come out, there needs to be some external source checking to see that the people who are teaching the classes have more than just an 8 hour class under their belt before they lead a class. It feels natural to me that you would become a GF instructor and then specialize, but having the GF credentials doesn't seem to matter much anymore. This might not be a real conclusion - I'm just speculating and would love to know if you know differently. Do gyms require a big cert behind specialty certs or not?
Of course...OF COURSE!!!... there are great instructors out there who pursue additional (background/basic) knowledge in addition to their specialty cert, but I worry that Group Fitness is not taking itself seriously enough. How great would it be to go to a fitness convention and sit in a session on HOW to blend your music for your class - a technical skill. Or what about a session on cueing for a wide variety of clients in a single class. Or how about going to a session on the code of ethics and looking at case scenarios to get a really firm grasp on the C.o.E. Maybe there could be an entire session on what happens in the 15 minutes before and the 15 minutes after the group fitness class - the additional motivation you give clients, the setting up of the technical side of class, the inspection of equipment and reporting of problems. The list is endless and yet we find ourselves becoming Personal Trainers just to learn deeper anatomy/physiology/kineseology, sports psychology, nutrition etc etc etc...
It would be great to attend a fitness convention that was totally geared toward the needs of the group fitness instructor - I'll always contend it is a more specialized skill than personal training (I know that I may be alone in this thinking) but I'll stand by it. 20 people - 10 of them have special concerns - some are new today with zero experience and others have been coming for years - some need visual cueing others auditory - the music has to be considered - the choreography gets time too... There is a whole social, psychological, emotional angle too that is a bit different from personal training.
Anyway - I'm just putting it out there! It has been a great convention so far and I always feel so lucky to be a part of such a bundle of energy - some wonderful big names have come in to share their wealth of knowledge with us and truly I'm anxious to get back to my Spinning® bike - even though I didn't get any specific boost for indoor cycling, the take home messages are loud and clear and I'm surely remembering how great group fitness is! Yay, us!
Always happy to hear your thoughts - cheers! cori

Two fiberglass bear statues were the hallmark of the Leavenworth Plaza Shopping Center for years, according to a local museum official.
But times have changed. Today, the shopping center is mostly empty.
And the two bears have a new home ― the First City Museum.
Del Sanders, president of the Leavenworth Historical Museum Association, said the museum has had the bears for about two weeks.
He believes there is a lot in interest among people in the community regarding what he described as the mamma bear and cub.
"They remember going to the Plaza and playing on the bears," he said.
Sanders believes the mall opened in the 1960s.
He said a common area in the mall has been closed, and museum officials were asked in January if they were interested in having the bears.
"We're going to display them," he said.

Currents of Tradition in Chinese Medicine 1626 to 2006 (9780939616565)
Publisher: Eastland Press
Binding: Paperback
This current and its offshoots produced some of the most influential physicians in the Chinese medical tradition during the 19th and 20th centuries. Menghe physicians, their disciples and students treated emperors, imperial mandarins, Nationalist Party generals, leading figures in the Communist Party, affluent businessmen, and influential artists.
In late imperial China, Menghe medicine was a self-conscious attempt to unite diverse strands of medical learning into one integrated tradition centered on ancient principles of practice. In Republican Shanghai, Menghe physicians and their students were at the forefront of medical modernization, establishing schools, professional associations, and journals that became models for others to follow. During the 1950s and 1960s, the heirs of Menghe medicine were key players in creating the institutional framework for contemporary Chinese medicine. Their students are now practicing all over the world, shaping Chinese medicine in Los Angeles, New York, Oxford, Mallorca, and Berlin.
The history of the Menghe current is relevant to anyone interested in the development of Chinese medicine in late imperial and modern China. This book traces Chinese medical history along the currents created by generations of physicians linked to each other by a shared heritage of learning, by descent and kinship, by sentiments of native place as well as nationalist fervor, by personal rivalries and economic competition, by the struggle for the survival of tradition and glorious visions of a new global medicine.
On the level of both theory and practice, this history marks a departure from the focus on texts and ideas that has dominated Western engagement with Chinese medicine to date. Its goal is to locate medicine within the concrete lives of physicians and their patients, restoring an agency to their actions that easily gets lost in our search for the forces or structures that shape historical process. To this end, the author interweaves social history and medical case studies, ethnography and biography to narrate a story of Chinese medicine that is very different from any that has been told before.

Volker Scheid's book "Current of Tradition in Chinese Medicine" is an extraordinary scholarly text that provides a fascinating insight into an influential medical tradition in China. Every page is full of extremely interesting material both from a "political" and clinical point of view. Volker takes the reader on a fascinating journey of medical history through the Qing dynasty, the Republic of China and the People's Republic.

Currents of Tradition in Chinese Medicine 1626-2006
This latest text by Volker Scheid, like his previous work, �Chinese Medicine in Contemporary China� fills a unique niche in Chinese medical literature. At first glance, it presents itself as the history of a particular lineage, the Menghe current, from its origins in the latter days of the Ming dynasty (15th century C.E.) to the modern era. But there is a lot more going on in the text than just a historical record. As a medical anthropologist, Volker is using the tool of historical biography to unravel a much more complex design. I would like to give my own personal impression of the text to illustrate this.
One of Volker�s points in both of his texts is that in exploring the classical medicine of a foreign culture, we have missed the original context to a large degree, and redefined the medicine in the mirror image of Western culture and biomedicine. This has happened largely because of a lack of context to the transmission of Chinese medicine. There are huge cultural, historic and linguistic barriers that make it difficult to grasp Chinese medicine in its true depth, because these factors are essential in order to understand such a complex, essential subject to human life. From the Chinese perspective, there is a desire to spread �Traditional Chinese Medicine� to the West and redefine it as a global medicine with as little cultural baggage as possible. The crux of the argument in �Currents of Tradition� is that the practice of medicine is more than learning patterns, herbal and point prescriptions. One needs to grasp the culture and language that informs Chinese medicine, and through that learn the theoretical foundations of the subject. According to Paul Unschuld, this is what distinguishes a physician from a technician in the medical field rather than being manipulated through a lack of knowledge of context and history, one can use the history and philosophy of medicine to be creative with the subject.
One of the central figures in this book is Fei Boxiong (1800-1879), a scholar physician who was one of the great lights of the Fei medical family and its lineage. Volker carefully examines his medical philosophy and mode of practice, including a few case histories in order to illustrate his work. Fei built his practice on a careful synthesis of classical sources such as the Shang Han Lun, Ling Shu and Su Wen, along with the Jin-Yuan scholar physicians such as Li Dongyuan and Zhu Danxi. He then transcended his sources through creatively going beyond those sources to respond to the specific patient and their needs through �awakening of the mind�, or spontaneous insight.
Many of the scholar physicians discussed in the texts had a methodology that is, in my opinion, broader and more creative than just determining a pattern and dispensing an herbal prescription. According to the scholar physician Shen Kuo (12th century), ancient physicians would �regulate the patients (mode of) dress, rationalize diet, change living habilts, and follow the transformation of emotions, treating sometimes according to environmental factors, sometimes according to individual factors� (page 43).
From examining the lineages of scholar physicians, Volker goes on to examine the transformation of Chinese medicine in the modern era, from the late Qing dynasty to the Republican era, and on to the ascension of the Communist party. All of these were part of a turbulent upheaval of modernization in Chinese society, and these pressures effected the practice of medicine as well. Not only did modern science ascend to being the standard-bearer of Chinese society, but biomedicine also became the most powerful system of influence in medicine. �Currents of Tradition� examines these trends in detail, which led to the loss of much of what scholar physicians held dear in the drive towards a nationalized system of Chinese medicine, followed by the attempted globalization of this medicine and its spread to the West and the rest of the world.
"Currents of Tradition" illustrates that historically Chinese medicine was based on transmission of teaching and experience within families, in specific locales. Like Chinese cuisine, there were regional flavors, styles and philosophies that were revealed in the praxis of these scholar/physicians. Their way of life, personalities, and philosophies were integrated with their methods of diagnosis and treatment. As a result, Chinese medicine is truly heterogeneous, made up of multiple streams of thought and practice, hardly monolithic in any sense.

With some reminder postcards already sent out last week, the chairman of the committee planning the Leavenworth St. Patrick's Day Parade said preparations are kicking into gear.
The parade is set for 1 p.m. March 17 in downtown Leavenworth, said chairman Tim Scanlon, who took the reins of the effort following the passing away last year of its co-organizers for 29 years, Darlene Kenny and Dona Thibault.
"It's going on," Scanlon said.
He said the plan had been for the 2013 parade to be Kenny's last and for Scanlon to take over afterward, he said.
This year will mark the 30th annual St. Patrick's Day celebration in Leavenworth and Scanlon to celebrate the committee is hoping to get some former participants back for this year's parade.
"We've got two of the former Irish officers coming back," he said,
referring to the Command and General Staff College students who have in the past served as part of the official party for the parade.
And invitations are out for past grand marshals to come back and be recognized during the parade.
For everyone else who wishes to participate, Scanlon said entry applications are available at www.lvirish.com. The parade reportedly had about 100 entries last year, including floats for some of the city's longtime Irish families like the Scanlons and the McEvoys, local marching bands and civic and religious groups.
"We're hoping that we have more," because of the anniversary, Scanlon said, "but we'll see."
As in past years, Scanlon said a full schedule of events will be announced soon.

I was honored to be asked by Peak to present the pilates sessions at this year's IDEA World Fitness Conference. The energy at this conference is amazingly high, and the caliber of the students/teachers that attend is phenomenal. True commitment to inspiring their clients, students, and the world to fitness oozes out of every pore, and is evidenced by the rapt attention, note taking, and effort of all attendees.
I have to admit that the brightest highlight, and there were many, was listening to Jane Fonda speak about her experiences as a pioneer of the fitness industry. Truthfully, her book and video were the reason why I got into this industry myself. I am going to allow myself to gush: she is my idol. I took about 25 cell phone pictures of her on-stage as well as on the jumbotron, which of course turned out like a big giant blob. Oh well. I'm still not erasing them.
The workshops that I taught began early on Friday morning...6:45am to be exact. The workshop was Advanced Pilates Mat with Props...and these people rocked it! I threw some really tough challenges at them...and they blew me away with their effort. It was really inspiring for me to see that Pilates Mat is still alive and well, and being practiced to the advanced level!
Another workshop that inspired me was Reformer Trifecta. This workshop was intended to break down the intermediate/advanced reformer work to building block level in order to get students to understand the fundamental movements of each exercise. It was amazing to watch each student develop understanding of exercises like Star and The Splits series, and progress systematically to the ideal of the exercise...and in some cases challenge the ideal. There was one personal trainer in this class who had never done Pilates before, and had never even seen a reformer. By the end of the session, this trainer had a big huge smile on her face...and told me at the end that she is going to register for Pilates Teacher Training as soon as she got home!
The enthusiasm and passion for the industry and the continuing education of these students is going to ensure the caliber of teacher that works in our industry...bringing the latest and greatest exercise techniques, as well as the latest and greatest teaching techniques for multi-level teaching to their clients. We all need to find ways to Inspire the World to Fitness (which was the theme for the conference)...inspire all students...at all ages, no matter what level they are on...how fit they are...how limited they may be. Peak Pilates teachers will be at the head of the pack!

Just got back from the ECA Thrive Ft. Lauderdale conference. It was amazing! The hotel was gorgeous and right on the beach. As a venue, it couldn't be beat for sure! There was tremendous energy in all of the workshops that I presented, and the participants were so enthusiastic and ready to learn and be inspired.
The first workshop I presented was Peak Pilates Core Attack. Using different props we explored how to challenge the core in new and different ways...there was a lot of moaning and groaning going on.
Up second was Peak Pilates Reformer Power Tools. This is one of my most favorite to present, because it helps people think outside the box. How do you challenge a very fit student, who has never done pilates? Adding props is just one way...and again with the moaning and groaning.
Reformer Jumpboard Intervals, always a fun one, was scheduled for the first time slot on Sunday (that is a little to close to Saturday night for some people). Even with 3 people to a reformer, everyone had a great time, and sweated out whatever they did the night before. PilatesStick Full Body Blast was fun, with newbies and pros mixing and mingling to get ideas using the PilatesStick.
We saved the best for last when I got to co-present with Abbie Appel and Maria Solon-Scally "Why Didn't I Think of That?". Abbie got muscle specific with the Resist-a-Ball, Maria made them sweat with BodyBlade, and I challenged their balance and flexibility with the Power Circle. So much fun to combine all that knowledge in one workshop! And, best of all, I ran into two young ladies, up and coming trainers, who had gone to school with two of my kids. It was hilarious hearing, "Aren't you Carly's/Jeff's mom?" at a fitness conference so far from home!

Last summer, Eclipse shocked aviation watchers by displaying a single-engine variant of its Model 500 twinjet VLJ. The Eclipse "concept jet," or ECJ, featured seating for four (including the pilot) and borrowed key elements from the 500, including the nose, wing, avionics and engine.

When you buy a seat on a commercial flight, the choice of airline can matter less than the departure and arrival times. But when you book a charter flight, picking the operator is the most important decision you can make. The wrong choice can cost you lots of time and money, or even create safety risks.

Just a few years ago, customers had fewer options in outfitting their aircraft. But the consumerization of business aviation and technological innovations have resulted in a huge range of choices in furnishings and entertainment and communication equipment.

The Dish: Roasted farm-fresh New England veal tenderloin coated in a crust of puree of fennel, garlic and sage. The veal is centered with steamed Maine lobster served with cognac butter.

The Dish: Salad Niзoise, featuring seared ahi tuna on a bed of butter lettuce, surrounded by steamed red potatoes, cooked and refreshed green beans, tomatoes and a boiled egg. The dish is topped off by capers and kalamata olives and a dressing prepared from white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, pepper, garlic crushed with salt and extra virgin olive oil.

For technology lovers, today'sbusiness jet cabin is a wonderland, offering everything from moving-map displays with satellite photos to in-flight use of a BlackBerry. And every time you think you've seen it all, along comes another innovation-often for less money than you paid for the product it replaces.

The Gulfstream GV was the first true long-range business jet. There are many impressive things about it, but perhaps the most salient is this: Last year alone, the value of a used GV shot up 18 percent. In 2002, a new GV sold for $43.2 million. Last year on the used market, that airplane commanded $45.5 million.
June 1, 2008
Many business jet charter operators these days are opting to focus on a single aircraft type. The Eclipse 500 has received much publicity because high-profile businesses, such as Boca Raton, Fla.-based DayJet and Concord, Mass.-based Linear Air, have recently launched air-taxi services with that model. But an increasing number of operators are now focusing on another aircraft: the Cirrus SR22.

Hydro 2 Sport Slip On is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great shoes but not for sports These are my first Rockpot shoes. I was very impressed on how they feel - my feet were in heaven. They are light and breathable due to faceted structure of the upper part. There are no laces so you can put them in a second. But I suppose they are not for heavy walking or runnig. After a month of intense usage (~5-6 hours of walking a day) it's not as comfortable as it was in the beginning and long distances require more rest for feet. The looks is great too - bright, make your feet looks pretty narrow - like a part of you. But, again, treat them like a fashion shoes with medium sports features. After a month of usage they are still pretty comfortable and have nearly the same look as out of the box. Highly recommend. P.s. Don't worry about the size - if you see 12 thats mean 12.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cheyenne from Good but not perfect These are comfortable, airy casual shoes. the only complaint that I have is that the left one fits tighter than the right one causing some heel discomfort. Might go away once the are broken in.

For Instructors Spinning
Renewed and refreshed for fall?
06/14/2011 7:28 am
I am pretty sure that I wrote about this before, but now it?s a time to reflect a bit more. Because I teach at a college recreation center, our teaching schedules change every season to accommodate students? needs along with instructor availability (we have a number of graduate student fitness instructors). Thus, when I was initially offered my usually Spinning timeslot on Thursday evening for this summer, I decided to take a break?just for summer?because I wouldn?t want to ask for a lot of subs and wasn?t quite sure how often I would need to (given I?m traveling a lot more to NYC for summer weekends this year). My friend Angela usually takes the entire summer off from teaching her fitness classes, and says that it?s wonderful because when she starts again in the fall, she feels refreshed and ready to go. I am already starting to feel that way, and cannot wait to get back onto the schedule for Spinning. It?s been great to take some time off to recover because I was feeling a bit burnt out teaching Spinning. I was starting to say the same things too much, and not feeling the initial excitement anymore. I knew that I was not being the best instructor that I could be, so the break could not have come at a more opportune time. Now, however, being away from it for just about a month, I?m missing my Spinning class, and yearning to get back onto the bike at the front of the room. I?ve been creating new playlists in anticipation of starting back onto the teaching schedule again, and plan to be refreshed, renewed, and the best instructor/coach I can be! -JuneShare

Key Contest Info
The data has been downloaded using the API of a social network. There are 7.2m contacts/edges of 38k users/nodes. These have been drawn randomly ensuring a certain level of closedness.
You are given 7,237,983 contacts/edges from a social network (social_train.zip). The first column is the outbound node and the second column is the inbound node. The ids have been encoded so that the users are anonymous. Ids reach from 1 to 1,133,547.
There are 37,689 outbound nodes and 1,133,518 inbound nodes. Most outbound nodes are also inbound nodes so that the total number of unique nodes is 1,133,547.
The way the contacts were sampled makes sure that the universe is roughly closed. Note that not every relationship is mutual.
The test dataset contains 8,960 edges from 8,960 unique outbound nodes (social_test.csv). Of those 4,480 are true and 4,480 are false edges. You are tasked to predict which are true (1) and which are false (0). You need to supply back a file with outbound node id,inbound node id,[0,1] in each row. This means you can assign a probability of being true to an edge. You are being scored on the AUC. A random model will have an AUC of 0.5, so you need to try to do better than that (ie have a higher AUC). Your entry should conform to the format in sample_submission.csv.
You are encouraged to explore techniques which explain the social network/graph. The best entrant should try to explain his approach/method to other users.
Don't despair if your first couple of solutions score low, this is an explorative process.
Brainstorming on Process
- We shouldn't have a single approach to solving the problem. If people have ideas they should run with them and report back their success/failure to the group. The collaboration between our diverse ideas/approaches/experiences will be our strength in working together.
- Since this is throw away code for this competition only, we need not get hung up on efficiency or elegant implementations. That said, if we hit a point where our code is not able to perform fast enough then we can address it at that point, instead of overengineering from the get-go.
- Theo suggested that we start by using things like python/ruby scripts to massage the starting data set into something more useful (with more features), then analyse and visualize that using things like R.
- Jared was wondering if people think it's legit to use the mailing list for discussion or if we should create a discussion list for the competition to prevent from spamming the main list with competition collboration? (Update: Maybe we can use wiki instead?)
- Also, as we transform the dataset into different views, we are going to end up with some large files that we will be passing around to each other. Any suggestions on how to best do that? Jared has been using Dropbox (see dumps below).
Brainstorming on Strategy
- The dataset forms a graph of directed edges between vertices. At the core of this problem will performing analysis on that graph. The first intuitive approach we had come to mind was that the shorter the distance between two vertices using existing edges, the more likely it would be that an edge could/should exist between those vertices.
- After the talk, Erin, Theo, and jared stumbled on the idea that some vertices might be uber-followers (meaning more outbound edges than the average vertex) and that some vertices might be uber-followees (meaning more inbound edges than average). This reminded us of PageRank for link graphs, so perhaps we can draw from techniques in that vein. The application of this in our problem, might be in weighting. For example, people who follow lots of people might be more likely to follow someone further out in their "network", where someone who doesn't follow many people might less likely to follow someone outside their "network".
- Since the edges are directional, we know that it's possible for people to "follow" someone with out that person "following back". At first glance it might make sense that the reverse edges would be likely in cases like this. However consider a "hub" user with lots of followers who doesn't reciprocate with edges back to his followers, then the information of who follows him is less important in determining who he would follow. Conversely, for a user who commonly reciprocates with followbacks, then the information on who follows her might be useful in suggesting who she follow.

Often the simplest solution is the right one. Let me share my experience with you in hopes that it will help.
Several years ago I attended a 2-day Spinning® event and somehow managed to survive a demanding self-inflicted program of participating in each and every Spinning® session offered. When it was time to drive 4 hours home after the final class, I was both amused and shocked by severe cramping in my calf muscles. I drive a manual shift and each time I would put my foot on the clutch, brake or accelerator, a "golf ball" would pop out on my lower leg muscles. It would probably have made a good sit-com, but it was plenty uncomfortable.
Back home I researched cramps and learned all the good stuff we're supposed to know – and which you already know, I'm sure: plenty of fluids, electrolytes and, yes, even some salty food along the way, helps. Bananas are a dietary staple. Stretching post exercise, foam rolling before the training and compression socks or sleeves are all beneficial.
The following year I followed all my own good advice, even wore recovery tights for my evening outings, and experienced only mild discomfort on my drive home.
During the summer months I found the same thing happening after long LSD rides or Centuries. Back to the drawing board. This summer the discomfort increased to the point that I backed off of one Century distance to a metric and worried that I might "tear" what I had come to believe was a problem with my posterior tibialis and not gastrocnemius. (check them out on an anatomy chart). I had my bike fit reassessed. I began to foam roll in earnest prior to each ride and I met with my friend and Physical Therapist – a world class triathlete who knows this stuff. (I have a huge advantage – another friend with whom I trade personal training for a massage –and she sort of glued me back together each time so I didn't miss a training mile.)
And then came the oh-so-simple solution. My PT friend said to check out the sciatic nerve. That all seemed ok but I poked around in my anatomy book and came up with the tibial nerve that runs from under the foot, up the calf (near the posterior tib) and into the back of the knee relating somewhat to the sciatic. Hold on – one of the symptoms of tibial nerve distress is numbness in the foot. Aha. Been there, done that. Another is, you guessed it, a sense of tearing and accompanying pain in the calf area all the way up to the back of the knee. (Interestingly, the cramping was unrelated and my precautions there were working.)
A possible cause? Cranking down one's cycling shoes too tightly. Oh, DUH! So, within a few weeks and with shoes that are comfortably adjusted, I am totally free of the problem.
So, my suggestion is: if something is bothering you, do your best to find a cause. A bandaid approach will come back to haunt you. Go to the source. Along the way avoid despondency unless and until you get a solid professional diagnosis that mandates other action or inaction. Often, the solution is simple. And, "if the shoe fits," wear it – but not too tight!

You HAVE to see Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" then. Corey Stohl (unrecognizable at first; I watched every "LOLA" episode and didn't know it was Corey until after I checked the credits on IMDB) steals the movie doing a Hemingway so effin awesome is the standout performance of the flick (per me and every person or critic that has seen it).
In other news, TBS CANCELS "LOPEZ TONIGHT" (two weeks after BET cancelled Mo'nique's own late night show). Bad week for minority late night hosts (all four of them... Byron Allen somehow still has work but Tavis Smiley continues to rock it).

Breaking Bad is getting its renewal — for a final season.
AMC has picked up 16 episodes to conclude series. That will bring the award-winning show to a close sometime either next year or in 2013 — depending on how the network and AMC and Sony decide to divvy up the final hours, whether they split them into two more shortened seasons or one (Bad usually runs 13 episodes per season).

HGervais wrote:Terra Nova pilot....how can something so ambitious be so.....boring? Granted the second hour was better than the first but the amount of cliches the show ran through in 84 minutes was kind of impressive and mind numbing. Jason O'Mara & Stephen Lang were both rather good and the mythology the show started to develop will probably get me back for at least another couple of weeks but if it can't break away from it's paint-by-the-numbers execution, I won't stick around for long.

Respectfully disagree. Jimmy as a musical prodigy only to discover his idiot father ruined it was Seinfeldian in it's tying together of the storylines. Finding out Sabrina has money brought an excellent Stephen Root guest spot as we finally learned a bit more about Sabrina (who was underused in season one) and the kidnapping episode was just twistedly funny. They got bonus points for having semi-regular Kate Micucci sing us the new season updates as the first episode got rolling. My only nitpick is that they listed Cloris Leachman as a "guest star" last year so as to give her a clean shot at an Emmy and now it's "Introducing Cloris Leachman as Maw-Maw". C'mon, her rep is outstanding, don't play games to get awards, let her just be her brilliant self.

Master Bedroom Before and After
My master bedroom has been "in the works" for a while. I started stenciling it in June, and installing board and batten in September. One mistake that I think so many people do that make things more complicated and frustrating is that they become so SET in a color palette or design scheme that they don't let the room design flow organically. This room makeover is the PERFECT example of that.
Are you ready for the ultimate before and after?!! Here is the Before Before…Like from the MLS listing when we bought our house…:
Sick Nasty, right?!
If you want to see more of the NASTY MLS listing that I fell in love with you can click here.
This is what it looked like after we moved in and how things are in my real life and fixed it up a little…and by fixed up I mean got rid of that diseased carpet.
Originally the room was going to be Coral and Navy and Gold. That is it. Nothing else. I was struggling a little trying find fabric that matched the Coral Mirrored Dresser (Krylon Coral Isle). I had an impossible time trying to find something that was Navy AND Coral. Like IMPOSSIBLE. There was none.
So what is a girl to do? I went to the DI (Utah's version of the Goodwill) and looked in the women's clothing section. Did you know that you can find some really great fabric at the Thrift Store? Most long skirts or dresses have at least a yard or 2.
When I saw this skirt I KNEW it was perfect for the space. No it was not Coral and Navy. BUT it had Coral and Navy in it as well as a ton of other true bright colors. It was exactly what I needed to bring more life to the room.
So I made it into pillows!
(All of the other fabric for the pillows is from Joann's and the pillow forms are basically stolen they were so cheap. The white duvet and fuchsia sheet are from Target. The green throw is from Homegoods.
Using this fabric TOTALLY opened up my entire color scheme which I LOVE!! The stencil is amazing right?! You can see a full tutorial on how to stencil your walls here. If you have a large space to fill lining large pictures up is a great way to fill the space. And the coat of arms throws it off balance a little and makes it way more interesting.
Here is the before of that wall:
Did you notice that I spray painted my bed frame brass? I used Krylon Metallic in Brass.
On the opposite wall I used the mirror that used to hang in my entryway.
You guys know that I am OBSESSED with awesome frames and buy them any time I see one. I have accumulated quite the collection so I hung the board and batten so that I could show them off. Its like a mixture of a gallery wall and specimen art of awesomeness.
Here is a before of that wall..
I used basic white curtains from Ikea and hung them really high on the wall. This makes the windows seem much bigger. Just make sure if you do this that your curtains are long enough to touch or puddle on the floor. Personally, I love a good puddle.
I found the nightstands at Homegoods on clearance, and you can see the full tutorial on how to make the hanging pendant lights here.
And don't you LOVE that giant horse head?! I found that at Homegoods also.
The before of this chair deserves an award. Don't you think?
Now for some fun shots.
Pretty fab. Very colorful and COMPLETELY Mandilicious.
If you have any questions leave them in the comments, hope you have a great weekend!

This is my second order with PrintGlobe and I am very pleased all around. The online ordering process is extremely efficient and straight forward. My rep at the company is quick to see my order through and answer any questions that I have. They are in the US and speak my language literally and figuratively and are there to get me what I need. My pieces looked great and I plan on many future projects with this company. Thanks PrintGlobe!

Print Globe really bailed us out! We had a customer who slammed us with a difficult project that we couldn't fulfill in house, and our regular vendor was dragging his feet and couldn't even get us a hard price to tell our customer. Print Globe was able to create a solution for us and our customer and delivered on time and without complaints.
Hedgehog Solutions, Orem, UT
Price. Quality. Service. After 37 years in business, I've finally found a vendor who has all three. Wait! I just thought of one more - Variety. Now how can you beat four-out-of-four? I just love it when a printer makes my designs come to life and the client raves when they receive the final product. Thank you, PrintGlobe.

PrintGlobe was wonderful to work with! We ordered about 2500 custom static window clings from them for our business, and the entire process from start to finish was nothing less of wonderful!

These past few days have made it feel like we may skip spring entirely and just launch straight into summer. Unfortunately, the rest of the week will give you other ideas. The cold front that has been working its way toward us will arrive in our area today, initially bringing a chance for some stormy weather.
A few strong storms could develop this afternoon, primarily southeast of the Turnpike, with nickel sized hail as the primary threat. Accompanying this system, however, will be a steady drop in our temperatures. Beginning around mid-afternoon we will see a steady decline, with temps finally bottoming out in the mid-30's by dawn on Thursday.
On a positive note, we actually have precipitation chances in our forecast every day between now and Tuesday (which is a good thing considering we're still a long way from being caught up on our moisture). What may be harder to stomach at the beginning of May is the fact that we also have a chance of a rain/snow wintry mix on Thursday and Friday – as well as a high temp of only 39 degrees on Thursday.
Winter just doesn't seem ready to let go…
