The passenger bus is the king of the Mexican road. Several lines connect major destinations in the Puerto Vallarta region, both with each other and with the rest of Mexico.
Classes of Buses
Three distinct levels of intercity service—luxury-class, first-class, and second-class—are generally available. Luxury-class (called something like "Primera Plus," or "Ejecutivo" depending upon the line) service speeds passengers between the major destinations of Puerto Vallarta, Tepic, and Barra de Navidad, with few stops en route. In exchange for relatively high fares (about $25 for Puerto Vallarta–Tepic, for example), passengers enjoy rapid passage and airline-style amenities: plush reclining seats, a (usually) clean toilet, air-conditioning, onboard video, and an aisle attendant.
Although less luxurious, but for about two-thirds the price, first-class (primera clase) service is frequent and always includes reserved seating. Additionally, passengers enjoy soft reclining seats and air-conditioning (if it's working). Besides regular stops at or near most towns and villages en route, first-class bus drivers, if requested, will usually stop and let you off anywhere along the road.
Second-class (clase ordinario) seating is unreserved. In outlying parts of the Puerto Vallarta region, there is even a class of bus beneath second class, but given the condition of many second-class buses, it seems as if third-class buses wouldn't run at all. Such buses are the stuff of travelers' legends: The recycled old GMC, Ford, and Dodge schoolbuses that stop everywhere and carry everyone and everything to even the smallest villages tucked away in the far mountains. As long as there is any kind of a road, the bus will most likely go there.
Now and then you'll read a newspaper story of a country bus that went over a cliff somewhere in Mexico, killing the driver and a dozen unfortunate souls. The same newspapers, however, never bother to mention the half-million safe passengers for whom the same bus provided trips during its 15 years of service before the accident.
Second-class buses are not for travelers with weak knees or stomachs. Often, you will initially have to stand, cramped in the aisle, in a crowd of campesinos. They are warm-hearted but poor people, so don't tempt them with open, dangling purses or wallets bulging in back pockets. Stow your money safely away. After a while, you will be able to sit down. Such privilege, however, comes with obligation, such as holding an old woman's bulging bag of carrots or a toddler on your lap. But if you accept your burden with humor and equanimity, who knows what favors and blessings may flow to you in return.
Tickets, Seating, and Baggage
Mexican bus lines do not usually publish schedules or fares. Simply ask someone who knows (such as your hotel desk clerk), or call (or ask someone to call) the bus station. Few travel agents handle bus tickets. If you don't want to spend the time to get a reserved ticket yourself, hire someone trustworthy to do it for you. Another option is to get to the bus station early enough on your traveling day to ensure that you'll get a bus to your destination.
Although some lines accept credit cards and issue computer-printed tickets at their major stations, most reserved bus tickets are sold for cash and are handwritten, with a specific seat number (número de asiento) on the back. If you miss the bus, you lose your money. Furthermore, airline-style automated reservations systems have not yet arrived at many Mexican bus stations. Consequently, you can generally buy reserved tickets only at the local departure (salida local) station. (An agent in Puerto Vallarta, for example, may not be able to reserve you a ticket on a bus that originates in Tepic, 100 miles up the road.)
Request a reserved seat, if possible, with numbers 1–25 in the front (delante) to middle (medio) of the bus. The rear seats are often occupied by smokers, drunks, and rowdies. At night, you will sleep better on the right side (lado derecho), away from the glare of oncoming traffic lights.
Baggage is generally secure on Mexican buses. Label it, however. Overhead racks are generally too cramped to accommodate airline-sized carry-ons. Carry a small bag with your money and irreplaceables on your person; pack clothes and less-essentials in your checked luggage. For peace of mind, watch the handler put your checked baggage on the bus and watch to make sure it is not mistakenly taken off the bus at intermediate stops.
If your baggage gets misplaced, remain calm. Bus employees are generally competent and conscientious. If you are patient, recovering your luggage will become a matter of honor for many of them. Baggage handlers are at the bottom of the pay scale; a tip for their mostly thankless job is very much appreciated.
On long trips, carry food, beverages, and toilet paper. Station food may be dubious, and the sanitary facilities may be ill-maintained.
If you are waiting for a first-class bus at an intermediate salida de paso (passing station), you have to trust to luck that there will be an empty seat. If not, your best option may be to ride a more frequent second-class bus.

Some people like to relax and enjoy some beauty rituals by pampering themselves. It is always relaxing to have a full body massage, facial, fixing the hair or anything just for self care. After the stressful week beauty rituals can be de-stressing for many. Especially a relaxing spa can make you feel relaxed from within. You will feel the peace inside and that will bring the positive vibe of mind. There are various types of spa therapy available. Among them you can choose whatever you feel like.

Cowon X7 vs. mp3-tags
Hi fellow Cowoners!
I have a problem with some album art showing up while some don't on the X7 - although it shows fine in iTunes, my HTC phone and Mp3Tag. All my 90 gigs have been processed/tagged via iTunes either automatically or manually (when iTunes couldn't find the album art). I can't say this with a 100% certainty: 1. Probably half of the covers is some that iTunes was able to find and so the files were tagged automatically - given this ID-version "ID3v2.3 (ID3v1 ID3v2.3)". 2. Then there were all the files which iTunes could find tracknames for BUT NO album art. Here I manually dragged the album art (from Firefox) into iTunes and tagged the files - and it seems they were tagged with this ID-version "ID3v2.2 (ID3v2.2)", but I'm not sure as it doesn't seem to be a logical move for iTunes to do. It also seems like that it's the album art in these files which my X7 don't show. When I view my files in Mp3Tag I can see that the album art that do show on the X7 are set to "Front Cover". The album art that don't show is set to "Other". Changing this setting unfortunately didn't do anything. Instead I was able to "remove" some album art that DID show: in Mp3Tag I chose all the files in one library (where the album art did show on the X7) and just pressed save - I didn't delete the cover art. The TAG-ID-version changed from "ID3v2.2 (ID3v2.2)" to "ID3v2.3 (ID3v1 ID3v2.3)"...which I had hoped would do the trick...but now this cover don't show anymore (although it's still embedded in the file!). Anybody know if there's a correct/optimal format for mp3-tags on the X7? Maybe a max (file)size on the album art? I use KIZUNE's Lynx, Leaf and Sense UI's. ANY INFORMATION WOULD BE HELPFULL! Cheers!

Sorry I can't help - not had any troubles with tags. Until this last week! For some reason, 1 track of mine won't show up ANYWHERE except if I go into the [folders] option. Same with an album I loaded yesterday - it won't show up in Artists, Albums or Genres. Only Folders.
I tried stripping the tags and reloading but that hasn't helped. Nuts! |

Hi Flip.
As I have some compilation albums I only use the browser from Kizune. I'd rather look at my "windows library" in which all comps are placed in a library called "Compilations" (iTunes did that...). It annoys me that these hundreds of different artists are sprayed out with a song or two when i browse via "Artist". The list of 800+ artist get too long for my taste :-) So I don't have you problem ... yet. In regard to my initial question it has been solved, look here: http://iaudiophile.net/forums/showth...412#post333412 |

Hmmm...thanks I'll try stripping out the image in the files and retagging everything (they came with the album art in them). Thanks for that.

Island Steel Drums
Steel Drum Player in Islamorada, FL
Why hire Island Steel Drums?
Dave Herzog is a steel drum performer. Dave spent many years in the Florida Keys. Dave has played at all of the popular Key West venues and is one of the most popular wedding musicians in Key West & the Florida Keys. In addition to performing as a solo musician for weddings, Dave also performs for private events: anniversaries, graduations, family reunions, corporate events, and any special event. Dave can turn an event from typical, to tropical!
If you want the sounds of the islands for your Florida wedding, party, or event, contact Dave. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 218-234-7309. Dave travels throughout the Florida Keys and even into mainland Florida.
Dave's musical career started early in life when he played as a drummer in rock and roll bands in the Midwest. In the early 90's he bought his first steel drum. He started playing in a two piece island music band in the Minnesota lakes area, "Island Time".
In 1999 his wife and he moved onto their sailboat in the Florida Keys and while cruising, Dave played steel drum in many tiki bars up and down the coasts of Florida.
In December of 2001 they stopped in Key West and lived in the Key West area full time until 2010 when they again started spending summers in Minnesota. Winters are still spent in the Florida Keys, and Dave travels throughout the Keys (and into Mainland FL) for performances.
Dave started playing steel drum at weddings in Key West shortly after arriving in there. He's played weddings on Smather's Beach, Ft. Taylor Beach, along with many of the popular wedding venues in Key West, and Dave has worked with many of the local wedding planners.
Dave also performs solo for corporate events and private parties. He performs many of the island standards, along with a few Buffett tunes. He can get a group up dancing performing the likes of Zac Brown Band, UB40, and other contemporary artists.
Dave has performed live on the CBS Early Show with Dave Price, on Good Morning America with Sam Champion, on the NBC Today Show with Al Roker and Matt Lauer, and filmed with Samantha Brown of the Travel Channel which aired in August 2009. Dave also performed on Christmas Day on the Weather Channel's Guaranteed White Christmas - when the Weather Channel brought a snow making machine to the Florida Keys and made it snow for Christmas day!!
Dave was nominated for TRMA Musician of the Year in 2008, 2009 and 2010 for the annual Trop Rock Music Awards. In 2009 at the Trop Rock Music Awards, the band Dave performed with received awards for "Band of the Year, Song of the Year (I'm Living On An Island), CD/Album of the Year (I'm Living On An Island), and Entertainer of the Year. In 2010 the same band, with Dave performing, won Entertainer of the Year and Band of the Year. Dave has performed on stage with Mile Marker 24 Band for audiences of thousands as the headliner band during Jimmy Buffett's annual fan club convention, Meeting of the Minds in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010.
Dave now headquarters out of Detroit Lakes Minnesota and continues to spend his winters in Florida. He has played for over 300 weddings in the last few years, and dozens of private and corporate events. Dave also has his duo "Island Time" available for private parties, fairs, and festivals. He pairs up with a guitar player and adds some Beach Boys, Frankie Valli, and other well known beach songs to the repertoire.
Dave also performs at fairs and festivals. He is a member of the Florida Federation of Fairs and the Minnesota Federation of County Fairs. His performance is great for families and kids. He always keep the kids entertained by including them in his show. He brings props (beach balls, shakers, drums, inflatable instruments, beads, leis, etc.) for the kids to use and often will be seen leading hula hoop contests, conga lines, or other games. His ability to keep the children entertained is appreciated by the parents.
Dave often performs at senior housing facilities - nursing homes and assisted living facilities - where his show is about 45 minutes in length and is a 'virtual' cruise. Dave takes the seniors away to the different islands and performs songs from those islands - often having the seniors singing along to such tunes as MaryAnn or Jumpin' The Line.
Dave can perform background steel drum music for a dinner party, or involve the audience with adult humor/innuendo performing songs like 'Big Bamboo' or 'Viagra'. Of course his performance is based on the audience and he always keep the tone appropriate for the occasion.
Whether your event is adults only, families, or a kids birthday party - bringing in the island atmosphere always adds fun and sun! The sounds of the Caribbean steel drum are the sounds that smiles are made of!
Dave is aware that musical ability is not the only component of an entertainer. Although he has plenty of talent, Dave's attitude and professionalism is what has brought him back time and again to the stages of festivals and fairs!
Email Dave today (firstname.lastname@example.com) for a sampler CD or a promotional DVD. See for yourself the show that keeps your audience involved!
Dave Herzog: lead steel drums, vocals, percussion
What to Expect
As a solo performer I can play acoustically, which is normally requested for a wedding ceremony. I often add bass and drum tracks for small receptions and private parties, which creates a full sound without adding more cost.
I can perform as elegant background music for your tropical event, or I can get the crowd involved with tropical dance music (Hot, Hot, Hot; Shake Senora; Stir It Up). I am very good at reading the crowd and can respond to what they desire.
I've also done wedding receptions where I will play live for the cocktail hour and possibly the dinner hour, but then the young guests want to dance to their own music so they supply an iPod with the music they want for their dance - and they can play it through my PA system - eliminating the cost of a DJ to 'spin' their music.
My duo, Island Time Band, performs at fairs and festivals throughout the US. In addition to my steel drum/vocals I add a guitar player, vocals, and a set of tenor steel drums. We have a vast repertoire which includes island tunes, beach music, and some oldies. We can keep all kinds of audiences entertained. Check out the link to 'duo' on my website.
Corporate/Private Events and Parties
Depending on the event, I can perform either solo, or bring in my duo.
You can call me for more details about the different types of performances that I can arrange. You can email directly at firstname.lastname@example.com

Great product, my silly cat wouldn't eat it
posted 5 years ago
I have seen great results with the supplement. It really works. However, my stubborn geriatric cat would not touch the stuff. I am not sure if she was exceptionally picky and just disliked this brand, or if other have had trouble getting their cats to eat it. I was really disappointed because I was desperate to help alleviate her hip pain which I suspect was caused by arthritis. I finally searched around and through a hit or miss process got her to eat a different brand of the same type of nutrient supplements. I would recommend this to others with the caution that my cat disliked it. It may be worth checking out other testimonials and reviews to see if my cat was just stubborn and picky or if others have had this problem. If it is not a widespread problem I would say give it a try.
Pros: really works and alleviates arthirtis pain in older cats
Cons: my picky cat wouldn't eat it

The GLIMMIX Procedure |
requests that a t-type confidence interval be constructed for each of the fixed-effects parameters with confidence level . The value of number must be between 0 and 1; the default is 0.05.
requests that chi-square tests be performed for all specified effects in addition to the F tests. Type III tests are the default; you can produce the Type I and Type II tests by using the HTYPE= option.
requests that t-type confidence limits be constructed for each of the fixed-effects parameter estimates. The confidence level is 0.95 by default; this can be changed with the ALPHA= option.
produces the correlation matrix from the approximate covariance matrix of the fixed-effects parameter estimates.
produces the approximate variance-covariance matrix of the fixed-effects parameter estimates . In a generalized linear mixed model this matrix typically takes the form and can be obtained by sweeping the mixed model equations; see the section Estimated Precision of Estimates. In a model without random effects, it is obtained from the inverse of the observed or expected Hessian matrix. Which Hessian is used in the computation depends on whether the procedure is in scoring mode (see the SCORING= option in the PROC GLIMMIX statement) and whether the EXPHESSIAN option is in effect. Note that if you use EMPIRICAL= or DDFM=KENWARDROGER, the matrix displayed by the COVB option is the empirical (sandwich) estimator or the adjusted estimator, respectively.
The DETAILS suboption of the COVB option enables you to obtain a table of statistics about the covariance matrix of the fixed effects. If an adjusted estimator is used because of the EMPIRICAL= or DDFM=KENWARDROGER option, the GLIMMIX procedure displays statistics for the adjusted and unadjusted estimators as well as statistics comparing them. This enables you to diagnose, for example, changes in rank (because of an insufficient number of subjects for the empirical estimator) and to assess the extent of the covariance adjustment. In addition, the GLIMMIX procedure then displays the unadjusted (=model-based) covariance matrix of the fixed-effects parameter estimates. For more details, see the section Exploring and Comparing Covariance Matrices.
produces the inverse of the approximate covariance matrix of the fixed-effects parameter estimates.
enables you to specify your own denominator degrees of freedom for the fixed effects. The value-list specification is a list of numbers or missing values (.) separated by commas. The degrees of freedom should be listed in the order in which the effects appear in the "Type III Tests of Fixed Effects" table. If you want to retain the default degrees of freedom for a particular effect, use a missing value for its location in the list. For example, the statement assigns 3 denominator degrees of freedom to A and 4.7 to A*B, while those for B remain the same:
model Y = A B A*B / ddf=3,.,4.7;
If you select a degrees-of-freedom method with the DDFM= option, then nonmissing, positive values in value-list override the degrees of freedom for the particular effect. For example, the statement assigns 3 and 6 denominator degrees of freedom in the test of the A main effect and the A*B interaction, respectively:
model Y = A B A*B / ddf=3,.,6 ddfm=Satterth;
The denominator degrees of freedom for the test for the B effect are determined from a Satterthwaite approximation.
Note that the DDF= and DDFM= options determine the degrees of freedom in the "Type I Tests of Fixed Effects," "Type II Tests of Fixed Effects," and "Type III Tests of Fixed Effects" tables. These degrees of freedom are also used in determining the degrees of freedom in tests and confidence intervals from the CONTRAST, ESTIMATE, LSMEANS, and LSMESTIMATE statements. Exceptions from this rule are noted in the documentation for the respective statements.
specifies the method for computing the denominator degrees of freedom for the tests of fixed effects resulting from the MODEL, CONTRAST, ESTIMATE, LSMEANS, and LSMESTIMATE statements.
Table 38.7 table lists syntax aliases for the degrees-of-freedom methods.
DDFM= Option |
Alias |
The DDFM=BETWITHIN option divides the residual degrees of freedom into between-subject and within-subject portions. PROC GLIMMIX then determines whether a fixed effect changes within any subject. If the GLIMMIX procedure does not process the data by subjects, the DDFM=BETWITHIN option has no effect. See the section Processing by Subjects for details. If so, it assigns within-subject degrees of freedom to the effect; otherwise, it assigns the between-subject degrees of freedom to the effect (see Schluchter and Elashoff 1990). If there are multiple within-subject effects containing classification variables, the within-subject degrees of freedom are partitioned into components corresponding to the subject-by-effect interactions.
One exception to the preceding method is the case where you model only R-side covariation with an unstructured covariance matrix (TYPE=UN option). In this case, all fixed effects are assigned the between-subject degrees of freedom to provide for better small-sample approximations to the relevant sampling distributions. The DDFM=BETWITHIN method is the default for models with only R-side random effects and a SUBJECT= option.
The DDFM=CONTAIN option invokes the containment method to compute denominator degrees of freedom, and this method is the default when the model contains G-side random effects. The containment method is carried out as follows: Denote the fixed effect in question A and search the G-side random effect list for the effects that syntactically contain A. For example, the effect B(A) contains A, but the effect C does not, even if it has the same levels as B(A).
Among the random effects that contain A, compute their rank contributions to the matrix (in order). The denominator degrees of freedom assigned to A is the smallest of these rank contributions. If no effects are found, the denominator df for A is set equal to the residual degrees of freedom, . This choice of degrees of freedom is the same as for the tests performed for balanced split-plot designs and should be adequate for moderately unbalanced designs.
Caution: If you have a matrix with a large number of columns, the overall memory requirements and the computing time after convergence can be substantial for the containment method. If it is too large, you might want to use a different degrees-of-freedom method, such as DDFM=RESIDUAL, DDFM=NONE, or DDFM=BETWITHIN.
DDFM=NONE specifies that no denominator degrees of freedom be applied. PROC GLIMMIX then essentially assumes that infinite degrees of freedom are available in the calculation of -values. The -values for tests are then identical to -values derived from the standard normal distribution. In the case of tests, the -values equal those of chi-square tests determined as follows: if is the observed value of the test with numerator degrees of freedom, then
Regardless of the DDFM= method, you can obtain these chi-square -values with the CHISQ option in the MODEL statement.
The DDFM=RESIDUAL option performs all tests by using the residual degrees of freedom, , where is the sum of the frequencies used. It is the default degrees of freedom method for GLMs and overdispersed GLMs.
The DDFM=KENWARDROGER option applies the (prediction) standard error and degrees-of-freedom correction detailed by Kenward and Roger (1997). This approximation involves inflating the estimated variance-covariance matrix of the fixed and random effects in a manner similar to that of Prasad and Rao (1990), Harville and Jeske (1992), and Kackar and Harville (1984). Satterthwaite-type degrees of freedom are then computed based on this adjustment. By default, the observed information matrix of the covariance parameter estimates is used in the calculations. For covariance structures that have nonzero second derivatives with respect to the covariance parameters, the Kenward-Roger covariance matrix adjustment includes a second-order term. This term can result in standard error shrinkage. Also, the resulting adjusted covariance matrix can then be indefinite and is not invariant under reparameterization. The FIRSTORDER suboption of the DDFM=KENWARDROGER option eliminates the second derivatives from the calculation of the covariance matrix adjustment. For the case of scalar estimable functions, the resulting estimator is referred to as the Prasad-Rao estimator in Harville and Jeske (1992). You can use the COVB(DETAILS) option to diagnose the adjustments made to the covariance matrix of fixed-effects parameter estimates by the GLIMMIX procedure. An application with DDFM=KENWARDROGER is presented in Example 38.8. The following are examples of covariance structures that generally lead to nonzero second derivatives: TYPE=ANTE(1), TYPE=AR(1), TYPE=ARH(1), TYPE=ARMA(1,1), TYPE=CHOL, TYPE=CSH, TYPE=FA0(), TYPE=TOEPH, TYPE=UNR, and all TYPE=SP() structures.
The DDFM=SATTERTHWAITE option performs a general Satterthwaite approximation for the denominator degrees of freedom in a generalized linear mixed model. This method is a generalization of the techniques described in Giesbrecht and Burns (1985), McLean and Sanders (1988), and Fai and Cornelius (1996). The method can also include estimated random effects. The calculations require extra memory to hold matrices that are the size of the mixed model equations, where is the number of covariance parameters. Extra computing time is also required to process these matrices. The Satterthwaite method implemented is intended to produce an accurate F approximation; however, the results can differ from those produced by PROC GLM. Also, the small sample properties of this approximation have not been extensively investigated for the various models available with PROC GLIMMIX. Computational details can be found in the section Satterthwaite Degrees of Freedom Approximation.
When the asymptotic variance matrix of the covariance parameters is found to be singular, a generalized inverse is used. Covariance parameters with zero variance then do not contribute to the degrees of freedom adjustment for DDFM=SATTERTH and DDFM=KENWARDROGER, and a message is written to the log.
specifies the built-in (conditional) probability distribution of the data. If you specify the DIST= option and you do not specify a user-defined link function, a default link function is chosen according to the following table. If you do not specify a distribution, the GLIMMIX procedure defaults to the normal distribution for continuous response variables and to the multinomial distribution for classification or character variables, unless the events/trial syntax is used in the MODEL statement. If you choose the events/trial syntax, the GLIMMIX procedure defaults to the binomial distribution.
Table 38.8 lists the values of the DIST= option and the corresponding default link functions. For the case of generalized linear models with these distributions, you can find expressions for the log-likelihood functions in the section Maximum Likelihood.

Note that the PROC GLIMMIX default link for the gamma or exponential distribution is not the canonical link (the reciprocal link).
The numeric value in the last column of Table 38.8 can be used in combination with DIST=BYOBS. The BYOBS(variable) syntax designates a variable whose value identifies the distribution to which an observation belongs. If the variable is numeric, its values must match values in the last column of Table 38.8. If the variable is not numeric, an observation's distribution is identified by the first four characters of the distribution's name in the leftmost column of the table. Distributions whose numeric value is "NA" cannot be used with DIST=BYOBS.
If the variable in BYOBS(variable) is a data set variable, it can also be used in the CLASS statement of the GLIMMIX procedure. For example, this provides a convenient method to model multivariate data jointly while varying fixed-effects components across outcomes. Assume that, for example, for each patient, a count and a continuous outcome were observed; the count data are modeled as Poisson data and the continuous data are modeled as gamma variates. The following statements fit a Poisson and a gamma regression model simultaneously:
proc sort data=yourdata; by patient; run; data yourdata; set yourdata; by patient; if first.patient then dist='POIS' else dist='GAMM'; run; proc glimmix data=yourdata; class treatment dist; model y = dist treatment*dist / dist=byobs(dist); run;
The two models have separate intercepts and treatment effects. To correlate the outcomes, you can share a random effect between the observations from the same patient:
proc glimmix data=yourdata; class treatment dist patient; model y = dist treatment*dist / dist=byobs(dist); random intercept / subject=patient; run;
Or, you could use an R-side correlation structure:
proc glimmix data=yourdata; class treatment dist patient; model y = dist treatment*dist / dist=byobs(dist); random _residual_ / subject=patient type=un; run;
Although DIST=BYOBS(variable) is used to model multivariate data, you only need a single response variable in PROC GLIMMIX. The responses are in "univariate" form. This allows, for example, different missing value patterns across the responses. It does, however, require that all response variables be numeric.
The default links that are assigned when DIST=BYOBS is in effect correspond to the respective default links in Table 38.8.
When you choose DIST=LOGNORMAL, the GLIMMIX procedure models the logarithm of the response variable as a normal random variable. That is, the mean and variance are estimated on the logarithmic scale, assuming a normal distribution, . This enables you to draw on options that require a distribution in the exponential family—for example, by using a scoring algorithm in a GLM. To convert means and variances for into those of , use the relationships
The DIST=T option models the data as a shifted and scaled central variable. This enables you to model data with heavy-tailed distributions. If denotes the response and has a distribution with degrees of freedom, then PROC GLIMMIX models
In this parameterization, has mean and variance .
By default, . You can supply different degrees of freedom for the variate as in the following statements:
proc glimmix; class a b; model y = b x b*x / dist=tcentral(9.6); random a; run;
The GLIMMIX procedure does not accept values for the degrees of freedom parameter less than 3.0. If the distribution is used with the DIST=BYOBS(variable) specification, the degrees of freedom are fixed at . For mixed models where parameters are estimated based on linearization, choosing DIST=T instead of DIST=NORMAL affects only the residual variance, which decreases by the factor .
Note that in SAS 9.1, the GLIMMIX procedure modeled . The scale parameter of the parameterizations are related as .
The DIST=BETA option implements the parameterization of the beta distribution in Ferrari and Cribari-Neto (2004). If has a density, so that , this parameterization uses the variance function and .
See the section Maximum Likelihood for the log likelihoods of the distributions fitted by the GLIMMIX procedure.

indicates the type of hypothesis test to perform on the fixed effects. Valid entries for values in the value-list are 1, 2, and 3, corresponding to Type I, Type II, and Type III tests.

For the probit and cumulative probit links, denotes the quantile function of the standard normal distribution. For the other cumulative links, denotes a cumulative category probability. The cumulative and generalized logit link functions are appropriate only for the multinomial distribution. When you choose a cumulative link function, PROC GLIMMIX assumes that the data are ordinal. When you specify LINK=GLOGIT, the GLIMMIX procedure assumes that the data are nominal (not ordered).
The numeric value in the rightmost column of Table 38.9 can be used in conjunction with LINK=BYOBS(variable). This syntax designates a variable whose values identify the link function associated with an observation. If the variable is numeric, its values must match those in the last column of Table 38.9. If the variable is not numeric, an observation's link function is determined by the first four characters of the link's name in the first column. Those link functions whose numeric value is "NA" cannot be used with LINK=BYOBS(variable).
You can define your own link function through programming statements. See the section User-Defined Link or Variance Function for more information about how to specify a link function. If a user-defined link function is in effect, the specification in the LINK= option is ignored. If you specify neither the LINK= option nor a user-defined link function, then the default link function is chosen according to Table 38.8.
determines how weights are used in constructing the coefficients for Type I through Type III matrices. The default is LWEIGHT=VAR, and the values of the WEIGHT variable are used in forming crossproduct matrices. If you specify LWEIGHT=FIRO, the weights incorporate the WEIGHT variable as well as the first-order weights of the linearized model. For LWEIGHT=NONE, the matrix coefficients are based on the raw crossproduct matrix, whether a WEIGHT variable is specified or not.
requests that the columns of the matrix are not centered and scaled. By default, the columns of are centered and scaled. Unless the NOCENTER option is in effect, is replaced by during estimation. The columns of are computed as follows:
In models with an intercept, the intercept column remains the same and the th entry in row of is
In models without intercept, no centering takes place and the th entry in row of is
The effects of centering and scaling are removed when results are reported. For example, if the covariance matrix of the fixed effects is printed with the COVB option of the MODEL statement, the covariances are reported in terms of the original parameters, not the centered and scaled versions. If you specify the STDCOEF option, fixed-effects parameter estimates and their standard errors are reported in terms of the standardized (scaled and/or centered) coefficients in addition to the usual results in noncentered form.
requests that no intercept be included in the fixed-effects model. An intercept is included by default.
requests estimates of odds ratios and their confidence limits, provided the link function is the logit, cumulative logit, or generalized logit. Odds ratios are produced for the following:
classification main effects, if they appear in the MODEL statement
continuous variables in the MODEL statement, unless they appear in an interaction with a classification effect
continuous variables in the MODEL statement at fixed levels of a classification effect, if the MODEL statement contains an interaction of the two
continuous variables in the MODEL statement, if they interact with other continuous variables
specifies the reference values for continuous variables in the model. By default, the average value serves as the reference. Consider, for example, the following statements:
proc glimmix; class A; model y = A x A*x / dist=binary oddsratio; run;
Odds ratios for A are based on differences of least squares means for which x is set to its mean. Odds ratios for x are computed by differencing two sets of least squares mean for the A factor. One set is computed at x = , and the second set is computed at x = . The following MODEL statement changes the reference value for x to 3:
model y = A x A*x / dist=binary oddsratio(at x=3);
controls the type of differences for classification main effects. By default, odds ratios compare the odds of a response for level of a factor to the odds of the response for the last level of that factor (DIFF=LAST). The DIFF=FIRST option compares the levels against the first level, DIFF=ALL produces odds ratios based on all pairwise differences, and DIFF=NONE suppresses odds ratios for classification main effects.
displays a label in the "Odds Ratio Estimates" table. The table describes the comparison associated with the table row.
specifies the units in which the effects of continuous variable in the model are assessed. By default, odds ratios are computed for a change of one unit from the average. Consider a model with a classification factor A with 4 levels. The following statements produce an "Odds Ratio Estimates" table with 10 rows:
proc glimmix; class A; model y = A x A*x / dist=binary oddsratio(diff=all unit x=2); run;
The first rows correspond to pairwise differences of levels of A. The underlying log odds ratios are computed as differences of A least squares means. In the least squares mean computation the covariate x is set to . The next four rows compare least squares means for A at x = and at x = . You can combine the AT and UNIT options to produce custom odds ratios. For example, the following statements produce an "Odds Ratio Estimates" table with 8 rows:
proc glimmix; class A; model y = A x x*z / dist=binary oddsratio(diff=all at x = 3 unit x z = 2 4); run;
The first rows correspond to pairwise differences of levels of A. The underlying log odds ratios are computed as differences of A least squares means. In the least squares mean computation, the covariate x is set to 3, and the covariate x*z is set to . The next odds ratio measures the effect of a change in x. It is based on differencing the linear predictor for x = and x*z = with the linear predictor for x = and x*z = . The last odds ratio expresses a change in z by contrasting the linear predictors based on x = 3 and x*z = with the predictor based on x = 3 and x*z = .
To compute odds and odds ratios for general estimable functions and least squares means, see the ODDSRATIO option in the LSMEANS statement and the EXP options in the ESTIMATE and LSMESTIMATE statements.
For important details concerning interpretation and computation of odds ratios with the GLIMMIX procedure, see the section Odds and Odds Ratio Estimation.
specifies a variable to be used as an offset for the linear predictor. An offset plays the role of a fixed effect whose coefficient is known to be 1. You can use an offset in a Poisson model, for example, when counts have been obtained in time intervals of different lengths. With a log link function, you can model the counts as Poisson variables with the logarithm of the time interval as the offset variable. The offset variable cannot appear in the CLASS statement or elsewhere in the MODEL or RANDOM statement.
specifies a value for the linear predictor of the reference level in the generalized logit model for nominal data. By default .
requests that a solution for the fixed-effects parameters be produced. Using notation from the section Notation for the Generalized Linear Mixed Model, the fixed-effects parameter estimates are , and their (approximate) estimated standard errors are the square roots of the diagonal elements of . This matrix commonly is of the form in GLMMs. You can output this approximate variance matrix with the COVB option. See the section Details: GLIMMIX Procedure on the construction of in the various models.
Along with the estimates and their approximate standard errors, a t statistic is computed as the estimate divided by its standard error. The degrees of freedom for this t statistic matches the one appearing in the "Type III Tests of Fixed Effects" table under the effect containing the parameter. If DDFM=KENWARDROGER or DDFM=SATTERTHWAITE, the degrees of freedom are computed separately for each fixed-effect estimate, unless you override the value for any specific effect with the DDF=value-list option. The "Pr > |t|" column contains the two-tailed -value corresponding to the t statistic and associated degrees of freedom. You can use the CL option to request confidence intervals for the fixed-effects parameters; they are constructed around the estimate by using a radius of the standard error times a percentage point from the t distribution.
reports solutions for fixed effects in terms of the standardized (scaled and/or centered) coefficients. This option has no effect when the NOCENTER option is specified or in models for multinomial data.
tunes the sensitivity in forming Type III functions. Any element in the estimable function basis with an absolute value less than number is set to 0. The default is 1E8.

Code of Ethics
The MA in Social Responsibility & Sustainable Communities is committed to fostering an atmosphere of open and honest communication. For this reason, we adhere to a strict policy of consequences for plagiarism—both intentional copying and sloppy documentation. Examples of plagiarism include taking material from other sources—the Internet is increasingly used for this purpose—or failing to give credit in your papers or online discussions to the original source. Improper use of citation and documentation can also constitute plagiarism, whether it's intended or not.
Plagiarism is a very serious violation of academic rules and can lead to a failing grade, probation, suspension, or even expulsion from the University. All students are expected to follow the WKU Student Code of Conduct, which itemizes behaviors that are not tolerated: "Dishonesty, such as cheating, plagiarism, misrepresenting of oneself or an organization, knowingly furnishing false information to the University, or omitting relevant or necessary information to gain a benefit, to injure, or to defraud is prohibited."
Assignments are diligently checked for plagiarism, so all sources of information should be appropriately cited to avoid any gray areas. Anyone turning in plagiarized work or cheating on exams will receive an F for the assignment(s), perhaps for the course, and will be reported to the Office of Judicial Affairs.
A second offense will in all likelihood result in dismissal from the SRSC program.

Try this chicken tortilla soup
This week, we are preparing a very easy chicken tortilla soup.
1⁄2 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into cubes
4 cups water
1 cup diced tomato
1 cup diced tomatillo
2 cups boiled beans
1⁄2 cup chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1⁄2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chili powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
For garnish:
1 cup diced tomato
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 Serrano pepper, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lime juice
Tortilla chips
1 cup diced avocado
1⁄2 cup sour cream
1⁄2 cup crumbled queso fresco
Putting it together
In a large pot over high heat, add the chicken and the water and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, blend the tomato and tomatillo and add to the pot. Add the beans to the blender along with some of the broth from the pot and blend until smooth; set aside.
Add cilantro, cumin, onion and chili powder to the pot and simmer until chicken is well done. Add the bean puree to the pot and bring back to a boil; reduce heat to low and adjust seasoning by adding salt and pepper, to taste. Simmer for about another 10 minutes.
Prepare garnish: Add the diced tomato, diced onion, chopped cilantro, Serrano pepper, lime juice and salt and pepper to a bowl and stir to combine; set aside. Once the soup is done, add some tortilla chips to the soup bowls. Fill each bowl with some soup and garnish each bowl with some of the fresh tomato salsa. Add the diced avocado, sour cream and queso fresco and enjoy.

Meet Jon Powell
By Frank Stasio and Susan Davis
Growing up in Garner, Jon Powell stayed out of trouble. His first encounter with the criminal justice system was as an attorney representing kids. The same kids, over and over again. After a while, his faith in the juvenile justice system to rehabilitate offenders was so low he turned to his religious faith to find a new path.
The result is the Juvenile Justice Project at Campbell Law School. Jon Powell runs it and uses a restorative justice model to keep kids out of the criminal justice system, and he hopes, out of his office forever. Jon Powell joins host Frank Stasio in the studio today to discuss his life and his work.

Travel Guide
The steaming capital of Indonesia, Jakarta, sits at the western end of Java on the northern coast. It's an immense city with incredible contrasts in wealth and modernity with sections seemingly more modern than many Western cities and other parts representing some of the worst poverty in Indonesia.
Jakarta was established as a trading port centuries ago and was primarily used by the Sundanese people to ship spices to the rest of the world, with local pepper in particular being highly sought after. Over the years, the city changed hands as a result of the constant battle for control of the lucrative spice trade. It eventually ended up in Dutch hands and was named Batavia, which stuck for hundreds of years, and resulted in a distinct culture and separate language from the surrounding Sundanese people.
With the onset of World War II and the Japanese invasion of the Dutch East Indies, separatist activities increased in intensity and an agreement was struck between the Japanese occupying authority and the separatists for greater autonomy after the war was complete. On the cessation of fighting in World War II, Indonesia declared independence and took up arms against the Dutch, who returned to enforce their authority over the Dutch East Indies. After a prolonged battle and intense diplomacy, the Dutch finally withdrew from these lands and Indonesia gained the autonomy which they greatly craved. At this time the government moved its activities to the modern-day capital, Jakarta.
The layout of Jakarta is fairly straightforward, with Merdeka Square and the Monumen Nasional (Monas) an easy reference point for everything else in the city. A short walk south of Monas is the extremely popular backpacker district of Jalan Jaksa, with its seedy bars and sometimes even seedier accommodation. This is the sad first impression that many visitors get of Jakarta; it's the main reason that many choose to move on as fast as possible and we can't blame them. A short walk west of Jalan Jaksa brings you to Bundaran HI and two massive shopping malls, Grand Indonesia and Plaza Indonesia.
At the southeastern corner of Merdeka Square is Gambir train station, the main station in Jakarta. There are frequent connections to Bogor, Bandung, Yogyakarta, Semarang and Surabaya. It's from here that you can also catch a bus to the airport.
From Gambir, a natural tourist walking route heads east past Gereja Emanuel to Lapangan Banteng and the important religious buildings of Gereja Katedral and Masjid Istiqlal. At the eastern end of Lapangan Banteng is the colonial building which now houses the Finance Ministry, and it's around this area that many people will choose to have a bite to eat at one of the many warungs.
In the north of the city is the area commonly referred to as Kota Tua or simply Kota. Here visitors will find a large collection of colonial buildings, museums and touristy things to see and do. It can feel a little bit cliched at times, but it's certainly worth a visit. A short walk north from the main square in Kota Tua, Taman Fatahillah, is the maritime museum, Museum Bahari. Located next to the old port, it's a great place to check out and an opportunity to get lost in some of the back streets of the nearby kampung.
Jakarta is a modern city, with ATMs on plenty of street corners, access to modern medical care and police assistance easy to come by. The city is completely covered with 3G communications and those starting their Indonesian adventure here are well-advised to pick up a pre-paid SIM card for 5,000 rupiah at any of the streetside kiosks in town. Telkomsel is generally regarded as the operator with the best coverage in Indonesia and 1GB of data should cost no more than 100,000 rupiah.

A Red-Flag Issue For Beijing
When Chinese Gen. Xiong Guangkai arrives at the Pentagon this week, will it signal a resumption of U.S.-Chinese military ties, frozen since the U.S. bombing of Beijing's embassy in Belgrade last May? General Xiong is the most senior Chinese leader to visit Washington since then. Defense officials have high hopes, but other U.S. officials worry the visit could touch off another U.S.-China crisis--over Taiwan.
The key issue: the sale to Taiwan of advanced weaponry, including Aegis-class destroyers that could potentially defend the island against China's medium-range M-11 missiles. Xiong is expected to repeat Beijing's warning that a sale could trigger a harsh Chinese response. But the White House is under pressure to approve the deal in order to insulate Al Gore from Bush's charges that the administration is soft on Beijing.
China watchers say Beijing is already "twitchy" because all three presidential candidates in Taiwan's March election advocate de facto independence. These experts fear the Chinese may show their displeasure by firing missiles into Taiwanese waters (as in 1995 and '96). Defense sources say the administration is quietly urging Beijing to refrain from any action that could jeopardize congressional approval of its bid to join the World Trade Organization, a key Clinton goal. "Both sides want a fresh start," says a senior U.S. official. "But Taiwan is a [red flag] for China's leadership. If they believe the U.S. has decided to re-arm Taiwan, they may decide they have nothing to lose."

The hostel was very good at collecting extra euros here and there. However, after I paid, things didn't work the way I expected, and I had a feeling of BEING CHEATED!! Wifi was EXTREMELY expensive, 5e/5h, yet the signal was very weak. The clock still counted even after I stopped the connection. So after spending 5 euros, I could only use 2-3h. They should charge 10 more e for the room and have free good wifi in stead of trying to collect $ from customers with such a CRAPPY service and annoy them

Media regulator Ofcom said that the comments made on the Radio Asian Fever community station were "likely to encourage or to incite the commission of crime or to lead to disorder".
This relates to two episodes of the programme Sister Ruby Ramadan Special 2011, aired in August last year, and broadcast in Urdu.
Presenter Rubina Nasir, also known as Sister Ruby, opened the programme with a Qur'anic verse (Sura Al-Nisa, verse 16) and gave her interpretation of this as being highly critical of mixed-faith marriages, but also homosexuality.
The presenter went on to discuss various historical events portrayed in the Qur'an in the context of her main discussion of homosexuality.
At one stage, she said: "What should be done if they do [practise homosexuality]? If there are two such persons among you, that do this evil, the shameful act, what do you have to do? Torture them; punish them; beat them and give them mental torture."
During the programmes, she added: "Allah states, 'If they do such a deed [i.e. homosexuality], punish them, both physically and mentally'. Mental punishment means rebuke them, beat them, humiliate them, admonish and curse them, and beat them up. This command was sent in the beginning because capital punishment had not yet been sent down."
Ofcom considered that these two particular statements "could be objectively and reasonably regarded as not only condoning but encouraging violent behaviour against homosexual people".
As acts of violence and hatred on grounds of sexual orientation are prohibited in the UK, the regulator considered that the broadcast of the statements was "likely to encourage or incite the commission of crime".
The Radio Asian Fever Community Interest Company must now pay a £4,000 fine to the HM Paymaster General, and broadcast a statement of Ofcom's findings, on a date and in a form to be determined by Ofcom.
But despite the severity of the breach, the regulator said that it "would not be appropriate to shorten, suspend or revoke Radio Asian Fever's licence".
