text: 000 FXUS63 KMKX 241809 AAA AFDMKX Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 1209 PM CST Fri Feb 24 2017 .UPDATE... No change to headlines. Drizzle will continue across southern WI through the day as the surface low tracks through northeast IL. the depth of the low clouds is around 4000 feet, all warmer than the snow growth zone, which is resulting in widespread drizzle and freezing drizzle, depending on the surface temperature. Removed chance of thunderstorms for the rest of the day, as the better instability is well to our east. Moderate snow is still occurring in southeast MN within the 850-600mb frontogenesis zone. That band of fgen will march east through WI tonight. Expect drizzle to change over to freezing drizzle during the evening hours, and then change to snow with the fgen band (and deeper cloud depth allowing for ice crystals). Snow will taper off from west to east beginning early Saturday morning. Flurries could linger through mid Sat morning. Timing of freezing drizzle in southeast WI this evening is still a little uncertain due to the possible dry slot and exact surface temps. We may need to add a county or two to the winter weather advisory by mid afternoon. && .AVIATION/18Z TAFS/... Drizzle is expected through the evening hours, with freezing drizzle in areas northwest of Mineral Point to Madison to Fond du Lac. Freezing drizzle will expand east from late afternoon into the early evening, then change over to snow from west to east from late evening into the overnight hours. 1 to 2 inches snow accumulation expected. Mainly IFR category ceilings with visibilities down to 2 to 4SM are expected. Gusty northeast winds today will back north this evening and northwest overnight. Look for light snow showers to taper off from west to east Saturday morning. && .MARINE... Extended Gale Warning to 2 pm north of Port Washington as strong low draws closer and gradient remains tight. Small Craft Advisory with gusty winds persisting as low shifts into lower Michigan later today. Northeast winds will back to the northwest overnight. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 353 AM CST Fri Feb 24 2017/ TODAY AND TONIGHT...Forecast Confidence Is Medium. Strong upward vertical motion from low level frontogenesis response fields and low level jet nose helping drive precipitation across the area. Mix of rain and freezing rain, with some snow and sleet, continues across the Winter Weather Advisory area. Mainly rain is occurring elsewhere. Elevated convection also continues to push through the area, producing several reports of pea size hail along the way. This area of strong upward vertical motion will push north and east of the area this morning. Mesoscale models suggest that there may be more light precipitation developing along the 850 mb convergence/baroclinic zone for the rest of the morning into the afternoon. Some of these models are not as optimistic with more precipitation developing. Thus, some uncertainty here with trends into this afternoon. For now, will bank on low level convergence to continue to generate light precipitation into the afternoon. One issue will be the potential for a period of freezing rain moving east across the area not in the current Winter Weather Advisory this evening, before the change to light snow later tonight. The ice crystals are lacking during the evening, and forecast soundings are showing potential for freezing rain developing. This will battle the milder road temperatures in this area, which may limit the extent of any icing. Still, this may cause hazardous travel conditions this evening. Thus, the Winter Weather Advisory may need to be expanded across the rest of the forecast area for this evening. Later shifts can re- evaluate this potential, as it would not occur until this evening. The Advisory continues as is across the rest of the area. The change to light snow is still on track for this evening and overnight west to east across the area. Snowfall amounts should be in the 2 to 3 inch range toward the Dells and Montello, with lower amounts to the south and east. SATURDAY - Confidence...Medium 500 millibar low center proggd to be over ern WI in the morning. In the low levels we will be well in the cold advection regime with amplifying thermal trough. Gusty nw winds and the lingering light snow associated with the upper low will make for wintery morning. This system is then proggd to exit in the afternoon so have kept pops confined to the morning for now. Any additional morning accums look like about 1/2 inch or so. many areas will remain in the 20s for highs. SUNDAY - Confidence...Medium Models continue to show a weak mid level wave riding through with light or no qpf. Surface/850 low tracks to our north with weak reflection of trough in the low levels. So for now just small pops in our far north. 925 temps will bounce back to near zero celsius so some modification in temps from the chilly Saturday. MONDAY - Confidence...Medium Still looks dry as weak ridging slides off to the east. A bit of a return flow sets up but low level winds primarily southeast and rather weak. Precip with next system stays to our south. MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY - Confidence...Medium Next low is still proggd to track across WI on Tuesday and then shift off to our northeast Tuesday night into Wednesday. At this time it still looks like a mostly warm system for us with some mixiness possible at times within the initial moist push Monday night into Tuesday. However the 00z ECMWF keeps much of this to our south. Meanwhile the GEM and GFS both show a good slug of precip with the waa but the GEM is much faster bringing this in Monday evening while the GFS holds off until the daytime Tuesday. The mid/upper level dynamics arrive Tuesday and Tuesday night with both the GFS and ECMWF showing the 850 low tracking across WI this period. COld advection regime starts later Tuesday night with some possible wraparound light snow into Wednesday. GFS is more bullish with the light qpf while the ECMWF shows very little or nothing at all on Wednesday. THURSDAY - Confidence...Medium Another shortwave moves in from the northern Plains within the northwest flow aloft. GFS and ECMWF are in decent agreement this far out while the GEM shows nothing. This one looks like it would have more cold air to tap left in place behind the last low. So some accumulation potential with this clipper type system. AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...Area of winter precipitation will continue early this morning across the area, with a rain and freezing rain mix in northern and western portions of the area, including Madison. Mainly rain is expected elsewhere. Elevated thunderstorms should continue to move through for the next few hours as well. There may be a period of light precipitation for a time this morning into the afternoon. Mainly freezing rain and rain should linger in the northern and western areas, including Madison, with ice accumulations up to 0.20 inches. Mainly rain is expected elsewhere. Some uncertainty here with how widespread any light precipitation will be. There may be a period of light freezing rain pushing east across the area this evening, before changing to light snow. Some uncertainty here with this occurring. Snowfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches are forecast mainly later this evening into early Saturday morning, highest toward the Dells and Montello. Mainly IFR category ceilings with visibilities down to near alternate minimums are expected. Gusty northeast winds today will back north tonight. MARINE...Extended Gale Warning through 15z today to account for stronger winds to potentially gale levels as strong low draws closer and gradient remains tight. Gale Warning will eventually transition to a Small Craft Advisory with gusty winds persisting as low shifts into lower Michigan later today. && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...Winter Weather Advisory until 6 AM CST Saturday for WIZ046-047- 051-052-056>060-062-063. LM...Small Craft Advisory until 6 PM CST Saturday for LMZ644>646. Gale Warning until 1 PM CST this afternoon for LMZ643. && $$ UPDATE...MRC TODAY/TONIGHT AND AVIATION/MARINE...Wood Saturday THROUGH Thursday...Collar

Descriptive, Predictive, and Prescriptive Analytics Explained
Descriptive, Predictive, and Prescriptive Analytics Explained
The two-minute guide to understanding and selecting the right analytics
With the flood of data available to businesses regarding their supply chain these days, companies are turning to analytics solutions to extract meaning from the huge volumes of data to help improve decision making
Companies that are attempting to optimize their S&OP efforts need capabilities to analyze historical data, forecast what might happen in the future. The promise of doing it right and becoming a data driven organization is great. Huge ROI's can be enjoyed as evidenced by companies that have optimized their supply chain, lowered operating costs, increased revenues, or improved their customer service and product mix.
Looking at all the analytic options can be a daunting task. However, luckily these analytic options can be categorized at a high level into three distinct types. No one type of analytic is better than another, and in fact, they co-exist with, and complement each other. In order for a business have a holistic view of the market and how a company competes efficiently within that market requires a robust analytic environment which includes:
Descriptive Analytics, which use data aggregation and data mining techniques to provide insight into the past and answer: "What has happened?"
Predictive Analytics, which use statistical models and forecasts techniques to understand the future and answer: "What could happen?"
Prescriptive Analytics, which use optimization and simulation algorithms to advice on possible outcomes and answer: "What should we do?
Descriptive Analytics: insight into the past
Descriptive analysis or statistics does exactly what the name implies they "Describe", or summarize raw data and make it something that is interpretable by humans. They are analytics that describe the past. The past refers to any point of time that an event has occurred, whether it is one minute ago, or one year ago. Descriptive analytics are useful because they allow us to learn from past behaviors, and understand how they might influence future outcomes.
The vast majority of the statistics we use fall into this category. (Think basic arithmetic like sums, averages, percent changes). Usually, the underlying data is a count, or aggregate of a filtered column of data to which basic math is applied. For all practical purposes, there are an infinite number of these statistics. Descriptive statistics are useful to show things like, total stock in inventory, average dollars spent per customer and Year over year change in sales. Common examples of descriptive analytics are reports that provide historical insights regarding the company's production, financials, operations, sales, finance, inventory and customers.
Use Descriptive Analytics when you need to understand at an aggregate level what is going on in your company, and when you want to summarize
and describe different aspects of your business.
Predictive Analytics: understanding the future
Predictive analytics has its roots in the ability to "Predict" what might happen. These analytics are about understanding the future. Predictive analytics provides companies with actionable insights based on data. Predictive analytics provide estimates about the likelihood of a future outcome. It is important to remember that no statistical algorithm can "predict" the future with 100% certainty. Companies use these statistics to forecast what might happen in the future. This is because the foundation of predictive analytics is based on probabilities.
These statistics try to take the data that you have, and fill in the missing data with best guesses. They combine historical data found in ERP, CRM, HR and POS systems to identify patterns in the data and apply statistical models and algorithms to capture relationships between various data sets. Companies use Predictive statistics and analytics anytime they want to look into the future. Predictive analytics can be used throughout the organization, from forecasting customer behavior and purchasing patterns to identifying trends in sales activities. They also help forecast demand for inputs from the supply chain, operations and inventory.
One common application most people are familiar with is the use of predictive analytics to produce a credit score. These scores are used by financial services to determine the probability of customers making future credit payments on time. Typical business uses include, understanding how sales might close at the end of the year, predicting what items customers will purchase together, or forecasting inventory levels based upon a myriad of variables.
Use Predictive Analytics any time you need to know something about the future, or fill in the information that you do not have.
Prescriptive Analytics: advise on possible outcomes
The relatively new field of prescriptive analytics allows users to "prescribe" a number of different possible actions to and guide them towards a solution. In a nut-shell, these analytics are all about providing advice. Prescriptive analytics attempt to quantify the effect of future decisions in order to advise on possible outcomes before the decisions are actually made. At their best, prescriptive analytics predicts not only what will happen, but also why it will happen providing recommendations regarding actions that will take advantage of the predictions.
These analytics go beyond descriptive and predictive analytics by recommending one or more possible courses of action. Essentially they predict multiple futures and allow companies to assess a number of possible outcomes based upon their actions. Prescriptive analytics use a combination of techniques and tools such as business rules, algorithms, machine learning and computational modelling procedures. These techniques are applied against input from many different data sets including historical and transactional data, real-time data feeds, and big data.
Prescriptive analytics are relatively complex to administer, and most companies are not yet using them in their daily course of business. When implemented correctly, they can have a large impact on how businesses make decisions, and on the company's bottom line. Larger companies are successfully using prescriptive analytics to optimize production, scheduling and inventory in the supply chain to make sure that are delivering the right products at the right time and optimizing the customer experience.
Use Prescriptive Analytics anytime you need to provide users with
advice on what action to take.

Ray has several excellent points here - the main purpose of quality and test data analytics is to improve organizational results. Whether these analytics are "Descriptive" to dig into an existing or past problem, "Predictive" to anticipate potential opportunities for the organization, or "Prescriptive" to anticipate possible outcomes - the analysis is only as good as the quality and completeness of the data.
IntraStage's customers are using quality and test data analytics to instantly analyze data across their entire supply chain from their desktop, identifying how a supplier's process change two weeks ago is affecting the latest FPY numbers. They're also able to predict how changes in limits can improve quality and profitability, and can determine best practices for failure analysis and manufacturing line issues.

1. 1. Food Trucks!
I held my breath the first time I saw a man die. It was December and I was 11 years old. The dead man was my uncle Harold, who never figured on reentering civilian life after Vietnam. He drifted from one gig to another—theater usher, high school janitor, security guard—and each gig had one thing in common: he could get away with drinking on the job. Bakersfield was a different place back then, you know.
He didn't talk much. I never took us to be too close, but since I was his only nephew I guess we were. Sometimes he'd go on trips, never saying where to, and that made my mother sick with anxiety. But he'd always make it back, a little bit worse for wear, and always with a gift for me. Usually it was a new pocket knife, one of those tiny, sissy little Case knives. I'd whittle sticks with them and sometimes chop up earthworms, but usually they'd sit on my night stand and I'd look at the stained bone on them, which is the closest I ever got to appreciating jewelry.
One time uncle Harold come to see me when I was home alone. My old man was on the road, surveying an automobile wreck in Wasco that killed some dumb teenagers, and mother was off in Los Angeles, presumably buying those fancy patterned dresses my old man hated. She always told me to shut up about that.
He said he was just in from New Orleans and he'd brought me something different this time. He told me to wait while he went in the kitchen and got my present cleaned up. I heard the familiar sound of a whiskey bottle uncorking but didn't think much of it. My grandpa said if you served the country you could drink as much rotgut whiskey as you damn wanted and no man had any business judging you for it.
Then the thud. I ran in the kitchen and I could see just by his eyes that he was dead. My present was one of those shrunken alligator heads. Not sure if it was the real thing but I suppose I don't care to find out. As I ran to the phone, I held my breath. I don't really know why. I guess I felt I couldn't breathe. Like there was death in the air and maybe I would catch it. It was December and I was 11 years old.
2. 2. Live Music!
Some days, when summer rains down hell and even the dog crawls under the porch, I would get so lonely that I forgot there even was other people. I'd sit and listen to the radio. Most of the time they'd play Merle, but other times you'd hear an occasional Loretta Lynn number. I liked her best. She didn't bullshit you, and I guess that's what I used to idolize in a girl. In retrospect I don't know if she was any good, but with where my head was at in those days, it didn't particularly matter.
If the radio went too long without playing a Loretta Lynn number, I'd get it in my head to ride my bicycle to the Foster's Freeze. I'd steal some money out of the change jar—I figured my old man owed it to me, for how much time I spent handing him tools in the garage—and set out on journeys to buy a Coca-Cola and marvel at the fact that other people, people not unlike me, saw fit to live in this flat little speck on the map, a million miles away from Los Angeles and what felt like even longer up to San Francisco.
It'd be 110, 115 degrees, but I'd be out there on that bike. Four miles in each direction. Not a bad ride, but I'm surprised I never got heat stroke.
One day, it was middle of August and it felt like the hottest day I'd ever witnessed. Halfway down the road, some kid with a baseball bat stopped me. We were both soaked with sweat. "Give me the fucking money and the fucking bike or I'll waste you." I decided to oblige him, and then I never rode to Foster's Freeze again.
3. 3. The Most Beautiful Women (And Men!) ON EARTH!
There was a neighbor girl who I was friendly with. Anna. Her old man was a dentist or a chiropractor. Maybe he was a preacher. I never paid much attention to the day jobs of my elders, though looking back now I probably should have.
We would walk down to the canal together and throw dirt clods until our arms got tired. Then we'd race home. It was an uncomplicated relationship. We were both 10 and neither of us had the slightest notion of what "sex" was. That was a dirtier word than "fuck" in both our households besides. We just threw dirt into the water and raced home. She always won.
She moved away when I was about 14. Moved with her old man to Illinois. Every year or so, I drive back to that canal and throw rocks in it and think of her. Kind of a ritual. A sentimental sickness, projecting a poetry that simply never existed between us. But I still do it. Keeps me grounded on those really bad days.
4. 4. The Beach!
My grandpa had a place in Lake Isabella, and we'd drive up there when the air finally got too dirty, usually in June. We never did much there. My grandpa just liked to smoke cigarettes near water sometimes, and I liked playing Solitaire and drawing pencil sketches without having my patience punctuated by trucks going by. I was always surprised by how few people were out there, given what a nice view of the water it was and the crimson, smoky red of the sunsets.
My grandpa hated taking pictures—he always said the less proof he ever walked this planet, the better. But to this day I wish I'd brought a camera. I don't remember much about those summers anymore.
5. 5. Improv Comedy!
It was always a good time, going out to the Indian reservation to buy cigarettes. I knew my grandpa would have that Buck Owens at Carnegie Hall album in the truck, and I knew we'd get to drive up some hills. I always liked hills. The longer you're stuck walking on flat streets that stretch for countless miles, the more you want to stand on the top of a mountain and survey what's beneath your feet.
One time, the truck broke down. I don't remember what the problem was. "Goddam starter" is about the only thing I picked up while my grandpa ranted and smoked cigarette after cigarette the way an angry child might drink a bottle of Yoo-Hoo. There was an odd rebelliousness about it that I rarely saw in the man.
I was too young, too fat and altogether too stupid to help him in a meaningful way with fixing the truck, so he didn't ask. I sat in the truck bed, on one of my aunt's old blankets (pockmarked, as they all were, by cigarette burns). There wasn't anything on the horizon, mostly dirt roads but a couple of paved ones. Just a radio tower blinking 3 red lights. As the sun got oranger and oranger, then redder and redder, I kept fixating on that tower. I'd see how long I could count the blinks. I fell asleep at 700.
Sometime later that night, my grandpa woke me up. The sky was pitch black. "Come on, get in the front, I got the thing working again." I looked up at the rear view mirror and watched the light as it kept blinking.
6. 6. Careers In Social Media!
I left town about 7 years ago. But sometimes I go check on what's still there. It's good to know that things are still there. There's something familiar about decay—it means you were too stubborn to just up and die. Sometimes I drive out by the Indian reservation and the old antenna, and sometimes I walk to the canal. But usually, I sit on my grandpa's porch and watch the sun go down, watch the dirt knock the wind chimes back and forth. That tends to be enough.

It's hardly shocking that the most fully realized characters in The Casual Vacancy, J.K. Rowling's first novel for adults, are the youngest.
Fats Wall, Krystal Weedon, Gaia Bawden, Andrew Price, Sukhvinder Jawanda: Even the names are vaguely reminiscent of those in her Harry Potter series, and when The Casual Vacancy focuses on these teenagers and their interactions (with one another, with their parents, with the petty hypocrisies of adult society), it takes on if not an urgency, then a momentum, of a kind.
The problem is that they are too infrequently at the center of this novel, which revolves around a small English town called Pagford and the political machinations that reverberate beneath its seeming picture-postcard quaintness, a quaintness at which Rowling hints without ever bringing it to life.
The story of a battle for a seat on the Pagford Parish Council, which opens when councilor Barry Fairbrother drops dead of an aneurysm on his 19th wedding anniversary, the book aspires to be a satire of contemporary culture — complete with references to sex and drugs and the use of my favorite four-letter obscenity — but settles instead for broad caricature. That this is unsatisfying goes without saying; what's surprising, given Rowling's ability to spin a story, is just how unsatisfying it ultimately becomes.
I come to The Casual Vacancy as neither a fan nor a detractor of Rowling's; I read the early Harry Potter novels, and found them perfectly pleasant, although I stopped after my son became old enough to finish the series on his own.
To be sure, I owe her a debt of gratitude for engaging him — then, as now, a reluctant reader — in the immersive experience of loving (certain) books; more than once, he and I went to a midnight release party, and five years ago, we heard Rowling read at the Kodak Theatre after the seventh and final Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released.
Yet if The Casual Vacancy has a lesson to offer, it's that there is not necessarily a correlation between writing for children and writing for adults. This can be an unpopular thing to say in a culture where grown-ups increasingly read young adult fiction, where authors such as Francine Prose, Carl Hiaasen and Sherman Alexie now write for younger readers, where everywhere the lines between maturity and adolescence have blurred.
What made Harry Potter popular, among other things, was that it was a classic melodrama, with clear demarcations of good and evil, and a quest (the search for destiny, for identity) that at some point engages everyone.
In the adult world, however — or, at least, the adult world Rowling portrays in The Casual Vacancy — becoming is no longer part of the equation; everyone has long since become.
That, in and of itself, is not the novel's trouble: It's been a theme of literature from the start. Still, to explore such issues accurately, with depth and compassion, requires nuance, which is what The Casual Vacancy lacks.
The book begins with Barry's death, which is a questionable strategy; he's as close as the novel has to a conscience, but Rowling has no choice but to express that secondhand. We hear a lot about him without having the chance to see him, except in the memories of those left behind.
Were Barry less important to the plot, this wouldn't be so problematic, yet he is the catalyst for the entire narrative. Not only does his death create an opening on the council, it also casts in stark relief the divisions that have riven Pagford, a town caught between the old and the new England, between self-interest and the social good.
To highlight these tensions, Rowling gives us Howard Mollison, "an extravagantly obese man of sixty-four," who serves as "Chair of the Parish Council, and First Citizen of Pagford." Along with his family, Mollison leads the old England faction: white, conservative and determined to disentangle Pagford from the Fields, a sprawling council estate between the town and the neighboring city of Yarvil. Opposing them is Parminder Jawanda, Sukhvinder's mother, a Sikh physician who worked with Barry to undermine Howard's agenda for the town.
Raised in the Fields, Barry found opportunity in Pagford; he was committed to giving others a similar chance. Chief among these others is Krystal, the street-smart daughter of a junkie. She's a favorite of Barry's from the girls rowing team he organized and a symbol, for both Rowling and her characters, of either possibility or danger, depending on your point of view.
If this sounds more than a little convoluted, it is. The first third of the book moves continually among Howard, Miles, Parminder and a dozen other central figures, all identified in such broad strokes that I had to keep flipping back and forth to remind myself who was who.
One of the particular pathologies of the novel is that nearly every adult male (with the exception of the sainted Barry) is brutal or weak, from Simon, a bully who beats his wife and kids, to Colin, a deputy headmaster who cowers in the sanctuary of his home. These men are despised by their children, but they are portrayed so two-dimensionally that we never feel much is at stake.
The same, it must be said, is factual of The Casual Vacancy, which doesn't know what it wants to be. On the one hand, the degradations of the Fields and the resistance of the Pagford establishment offer a clear comment on vulture capitalism and the cruelties of the privileged class.
Rowling knows this story from the inside; she was once on public assistance and is a strong advocate for disadvantaged children — kids not unlike Krystal. And yet, Rowling too is casually cruel to her characters, giving them problems they can't surmount and then turning their lives from bad to worse, like John Irving in overdrive.
Is this a failure of the imagination? Maybe. Rowling clearly knows how to create a universe that's compelling, consuming even, but Pagford is no such place. Rather, it is little more than a backdrop, a stage set, its lack of depth an emblem of Rowling's inability to engage us, to invest us sufficiently in her characters, young or otherwise, to reckon with the contrivances of her fictional world.

Care about discussion of how to slow the dire effects of human caused Global Warming.Okla media no help/part of the problem
By: arcticmelt , 4:51 PM GMT on March 31, 2014
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/22790-the-vanish ing-arctic-ice-cap
An Arctic largely devoid of ice, giant methane outbursts causing tsunamis in the North Atlantic, and global sea levels rising by several meters by mid-century sound like the stuff of science fiction.
But to a growing number of scientists studying Anthropogenic Climate Disruption (ACD/climate change), these dramatic predictions are very real possibilities in our not-so-distant future, thanks to the vanishing Arctic ice cap, which is continuing its rapid decrease in both volume and area.
"The polar bear is us." - Patricia Romero Lankao, National Center for Atmospheric Research
Arctic sea ice researchers are predicting that sea ice will no longer last through summers in the next couple of years, and even US Navy researchers have predicted an ice-free Arctic by 2016. Whichever year the phenomenon begins, it will be the first time humans have existed on Earth without year-round sea ice in the Arctic, and scientists warn that this is when "abrupt climate change" passes the point of no return.

Follow these guidelines in making your recommendations:
1. Submit a letter of nomination to the president through your dean (or directly to him if you are not associated with a school). Describe why the nominee's distinction or eminence in his or her field of endeavor justifies the awarding of an honorary degree and state how the nominee's achievements are relevant to our campus.
