This textbook on statistical modeling and statistical inference will assist advanced undergraduate and graduate students. Statistical Modeling and Computation provides a unique introduction to modern Statistics from both classical and Bayesian perspectives. It also offers an integrated treatment of Mathematical Statistics and modern statistical computation, emphasizing statistical modeling, computational techniques, and applications. Each of the three parts will cover topics essential to university courses. Part I covers the fundamentals of probability theory. In Part II, the authors introduce a wide variety of classical models that include, among others, linear regression and ANOVA models. In Part III, the authors address the statistical analysis and computation of various advanced models, such as generalized linear, state-space and Gaussian models. Particular attention is paid to fast Monte Carlo techniques for Bayesian inference on these models. Throughout the book the authors include a large number of illustrative examples and solved problems. The book also features a section with solutions, an appendix that serves as a MATLAB primer, and a mathematical supplement.aTo sample from the posterior pdf f(8 |y) of the logit model, we draw the proposal from a ty (8.

For most parents, a child going off to college is an emotional time. It's a new chapter in your life and a time full of discovery, excitement and possibility. As parents of an addict, however, the usual emotion that comes with a child flying the nest is increased tenfold because, along with learning, meeting new people and becoming independent, college years also come with temptation and opportunity.
It's a given that as a parent, you will always worry about your child while they're at college. Are they eating well? Are they getting enough sleep? How are their studies going? For parents of a child with addiction problems, these concerns are accompanied by many other, more pressing worries. How can you strike the balance between giving your child their independence while still providing the necessary support? How can you spot the warning signs if you are not present? If there is a relapse, what are the options?
This section of the guide will help parents navigate this exciting yet challenging time.
Section 1: Educate YourselfBack to Top
While you can never wholly protect your child against substance use and abuse, the more informed you are about what substances are available, the better. Whether your child was addicted to alcohol, marijuana or cocaine isn't always the most significant factor; what's significant is the fact that they did struggle with addiction, and addiction can easily be transferred to other substances.
Aside from alcohol and marijuana, the most commonly abused drugs on college campuses today are over-the-counter drugs and prescription meds. With many teens and young people getting their fix from the medicine cabinet and the drug store, it's important that you become aware of some of the newer substances that pose a risk to your child:
- Cough and cold medicines. Glamorized by celebrities like Justin Bieber and Lil Wayne, various concoctions of codeine cough syrup, alcohol, soda and candy have become the new craze for teens and young people. Often referred to as "purple drank," "sizzurp," or "lean," the sweetness of this drink conceals its potency. Codeine is highly addictive and kills more Americans each year than cocaine and heroin combined. Another ingredient is promethazine, a central nervous system depressant which can have fatal results when combined with codeine.
- "Study drugs" like Adderall® and Ritalin®. The pressure of academic performance causes many students to try to boost their brain power with so-called "study drugs." Adderall® and Ritalin® are commonly prescribed to people with ADHD to enhance focus and efficiency. Unfortunately, studies have found that 62 percent of students with a valid prescription were giving it to other students. These Schedule II substances are highly addictive and can cause serious damage to the brain, as well as many damaging side effects like depression, headaches and insomnia.
- Pain relief like OxyContin and Vicodin®. OxyContin is the most widely abused prescription drug in the USA and it is prevalent on many campuses. Many students say that it's easier to get their hands on OxyContin than it is beer, so because the drug is easy to find and cheap, it's becoming more and more popular in colleges. Both OxyContin and Vicodin® are usually crushed and snorted for a euphoric high, yet both are highly addictive and can cause irreparable damage. The risk is very real: three out of four of prescription drug overdoses are from painkillers.
Section 2: Things to DoBack to Top
Aside from providing unconditional love and unwavering support, there are many ways parents can help prepare their child for the challenges that college will bring. You should be open with your child about any concerns you have and discuss things thoroughly. Four of the most important points that you should carefully cover before your child leaves home are listed below.
- Set up a communication schedule. One of the toughest things for parents to do is find the right balance between staying interested and involved but not overbearing. You should decide how often you will communicate with your child; keep in mind, this will vary based on your relationship. As a general rule of thumb, it's advisable to check in at least once a week while your child is still settling in and getting used to college life. Set up a schedule and stick to it.
- Develop a strategy for problems. As we've seen in the previous chapters, it's important to plan for as many aspects of college life as you can. It's likely there will be bumps in the road and obstacles that must be overcome, so how will both you and your child deal with them? How can you help your child avoid peer pressure? If your child feels alone or concerned, how will they deal with it? Will there be staff at college who can support them? This should be seriously discussed and agreed upon before your child leaves for college. (See Section 3: Dealing with Problems below.)
- Establish stress management techniques. Developing ways to cope with stress and challenges that don't involve drinking or using drugs is something that should be planned long before your child leaves home. Whether they try yoga, meditation or exercise (or any other stress relieving activity), your child should feel confident they have the means to deal with stressful situations. If you can, offer to go to a yoga or meditation group with them. This way, if you're both using these tools you can check in about them when you catch up while they're away at school.
- Impart some life skills. Staying sober and studying hard is important, but students also need to learn basic life skills if they are going to survive their first year of college. They should know how to cook and how to do laundry, as well as how to live on a budget. Becoming independent is a great way to boost confidence, and this can only have a positive effect on your child's sobriety.
Section 3: Dealing with ProblemsBack to Top
As the parent of an addict, you are probably well equipped to recognize many of the warning signs that come with drug abuse. Because you will be away from your child while they're at college, it's more important than ever before that you have an established communication schedule. By being consistent and creating an open line of communication with your child both before they leave and while they're at school, you can be part of their support system. Be their ally and show them that you can be supportive and helpful if they're struggling or need help.
Tip #1: Keep an Eye Out for Changes in Mood
Speaking with your child regularly will help you recognize the warning signs of any problem that may be occurring, not just substance abuse issues. Depression and anxiety are common at colleges and talking regularly with your child will help you pick up on any symptoms.
Tip #2: Consistency is Key
Another reason to have a relatively consistent communication schedule is that any deliberate or repeated attempts to deviate from the schedule can be a warning sign in itself. If your child stops calling you as frequently or tries to avoid communicating, there may be a serious reason for it. Listen to your gut; you know your child better than anyone. Postponing your weekly catch up now and then because they have plans with friends is one thing, but repeatedly trying to avoid communicating with you is not.
Tip #3: Be Cautious AND Realistic
One thing to remember is that while the risk of relapsing at college is real and should not be minimized, it doesn't always have to be a deal-breaker. However recovered your child seems, it's essential to discuss the issue of relapsing with them before they go to college. You may both agree that one relapse is enough to prove your child isn't ready for the independence of college life; alternatively, you may decide to wait and see how your child feels about their relapse. A momentary lapse in judgment doesn't always negate months of significant progress. Either way, you should be in agreement on this.
Relapse is often considered a part of recovery and, as we have seen from the students in this guide, it's perfectly possible for some students to proceed with college after taking a short amount of time off; it doesn't always warrant immediate withdrawal from college. However, while relapsing may be viewed as a normal part of the recovery process, it is absolutely not a necessary part of it. Your child's personality and the nature of their addiction should tell you what the best way to deal with a relapse is.
Speaking From ExperienceBack to Top
Karen M: Karen M's son Tim struggled with alcohol addiction for two years before he went to college. Tim was only five months into recovery when he left home, and Karen tells us how they both handled it.
"The best piece of advice I can offer parents of children with addiction problems when it comes to college is to go over everything beforehand. Communication and trust are key in getting through a challenge like this. My son's addiction did take a toll on our trust and communication, so we needed to work on that before he went to school; it was just as important for my peace of mind as it was for Tim!
We spent a lot of time trying to reconnect that summer, and when Tim went to college, I trusted him as much as you could trust someone who has addiction problems. I knew essentially he was an honest person, but I also knew how addiction could warp his judgement and override all sensibility.
So, we spent much of that summer talking about all aspects of college life. Would he truly be comfortable living with students drinking and perhaps taking drugs? Tim was adamant he didn't want to live in sober housing, so we compromised: we told his college that he was sober and he was roomed with another sober student. That was a great help, as Tim immediately had some support and I also felt reassured. I was very worried about Tim and I didn't want him to struggle any more than he had to, so I felt rooming with another sober student would give him his own 'retreat' as well as support.
We also spent a lot of time that summer trying out new coping mechanisms together. Tim found it hard to meditate but began to see the benefits of yoga. Seeing how this helped him made me feel better about how he would deal with the demands of college life, both social and academic. As much as Tim had to feel confident he could cope, it was important that I shared that confidence too, or the stress would have been too much for me. Doing these activities together was a good way for us to reconnect, too
We initially agreed to speak on the phone twice a week –more frequently than Tim would have liked, as he didn't want his mom over his shoulder the whole time. But I made it clear to him that for now, I needed the assurance that he was safe. Trust would return but it would take time, and it was important for Tim to understand that and have patience. If his progress continued, I'd be able to take a step back.
After his first term went by with no real problems, we agreed to speak once a week instead of twice, and he would call me every Sunday to talk. It may seem regimented, but it really helped both of us; I became more confident in Tim's strength and more trusting of him, and as a result, I felt I could back off a little – which I know he was pleased about!
Tim is now in his final year of study. He never relapsed, though I know temptation was there and it wasn't always easy. From my point of view, regular communication was instrumental in managing my concerns, and I know that for Tim, the knowledge that his family were always on the other end of the line should he have a problem was greatly reassuring. I couldn't be more proud of his success."

What to CookSeafood
The Spicy Shrimp Recipe to Eat All Week Long
Usually, when I order shrimp, I never quite get the amount that I expect. I search under my noodles and flick through my fried rice with one to two shrimp in site. Instead of feeling like I've been skimped on shrimp, I decided to make it for myself for the week in bounty.
This Spicy Shrimp recipe is great for when you want lots of shrimp, quickly—and it's amenable to being used in other dishes, to boot.
Set yourself up for the week by making:
- 2 pounds of spicy shrimp
- A big pot of white rice
And stock up on the following ingredients for your weeknight cooking:
- A can of white beans
- 2 lemons
- Dijon mustard
- Agave nectar
- 3 green tomatoes
- 2 seedless cucumbers
- Yellow, red, and green onions
- A celery stalk
- Cilantro, mint and basil
- An avocado
- 2 (28-ounce) cans whole tomatoes
- Soy sauce
- Mixed greens
And now, how to put it all together:
- Make a creamy and buttery sandwich by mixing the spicy shrimp with celery, white bean mayo, green onions, and parsley on a croissant. No knife and fork needed for this Shrimp Salad on a Croissant with White Bean "Mayo".
Cool down with a Green Gazpacho by blending together green tomatoes, seedless cucumbers, onions, garlic, a few herbs, and avocado. Top it with your leftover shrimp!
Roll your shrimp in a thick leafy green like bok choy, Swiss chard, collards, or mustard greens. Toss in a some vegetables you may already have at home: shredded carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, or radishes can all work to make an Asian summer roll.
A few shrimp are perfect to top off a spicy bowl of tomato soup. Sprinkle a handful of grated Parmesan cheese with chopped basil leaves.
Keep it simple with shrimp tacos topped with a sweet and savory mango salsa. To make the salsa, simply combine mango cubes, lime juice, and chopped cilantro.
Make stir fried rice by slightly frying an egg and adding a frozen mix vegetables and cooked white rice. Season with green onion and soy sauce.
Toss mixed greens with lemon tahini dressing to accompany the shrimp. The dressing will take you a few minutes to mix together. Combine tahini with water, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil to make the dressing. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste.
Shrimp is very versatile. What other ways do you like to prepare shrimp? Tell us in the comments below!

I always sucked at that stupid limbo game we used to play as kids. My back was stiff as a board, my legs long and inflexible, and my perception of distance just a bit off kilter. As a child attempting this silly sport at recess or the roller rink, I would always taste my imminent victory just before the top of my back would inevitably graze the dreaded bar, wobbling it just enough to announce my failure to the smug, ammature acrobats on the other side. Indeed, the kind of limbo game we played in middle school listening to the Macarena and eating cheese pizza I have never mastered. In fact, this game made me want to yank the bar off the stand and ream the flexible gumbo kids over the head with it. However, there is another kind of limbo I have since learned of, that I seem to have found an affinity for. This kind of limbo can be defined as:
1. an intermediate, transitional, or midway state or place.
2. a place or state of imprisonment or confinement.
This state of limbo is where I find myself today. Neither here nor there; one foot in the present and one looking for the next place to find traction. One eye fixed on seeing what is right in front of me, and one eye focused on the distant horizon, where my future goals wait for me to seek. Right now I am nobody, and nowhere. I feel unwilling to keep my feet firmly planted in the soil beneath me, because I know I will have to uproot them again in the next phase of my life, directing them down a new path. I have not adopted new goals and lifestyle choices in the place I exist now, because I feel that my next chapter will need to be written on a clean slate. My new life will have to arise from the ashes of my old.
I've become comfortable with the notion that this is all temporary. School, part-time jobs, partying: all of the components of my ritualistic life. This is all something that I'm doing now before life really begins down the road. Once I have reached that junction, I will be set. Until then, I'll cruise with my seat back listening to my favorite playlist on repeat, taking no detours, seeing no sights, and never stopping to enjoy the fresh air. I will keep my car directed straight ahead on cruise control until I reach that iconic destination labeled: " the real world".
So that's where I am today- Northbound on the five, heading away from my old life in the Southern extremity but nowhere near my destination on the Northern tip. I'm in Barstow, Bakersfield, tangled in the grape vine. I'm in limbo, no longer where I once was and not sure where I'm going. Or even where I want to go. Or do I want to go? Afterall, I'm comfortable.
Comfort is another term that has taken on a new meaning for me. If you had asked me a year ago if comfort is a good thing, I would have looked at you like you're a blithering idiot. Duh it's a good thing!! How could comfort ever be bad? Well strangely enough, today I find myself in a state of comfort, and yet it isn't satisfying in the way that I expected. Sure, I'm not fighting for survival, sweating for success, counting cents, seconds, or days to meet deadlines (though I probably should be). Instead, I'm counting sheep. I'm listless, lethargic, uninspired. Everything is the same each day; which is comfortable but not fulfilling. I almost wish for a cold bucket of ice water to be dumped on my head- it wouldn't be pleasant, but at least it'd jar my senses, wake me out of my slumber, or at least force me to move to a dryer spot that might offer just a slight change in perspective. I almost wish for some drastic, unforeseen tidal wave to roll over my life, washing out the stale, extraneous rubble, leaving behind only what is essential for rebuilding. Then, I wish to be the architect, engineer, and decorator of my new life. Have a hand in every board and nail that is placed upon new structure. Be able to look proudly at the masterpiece I have erected, satisfied that I took the time and energy to build it on my own, and it wasn't easy. Comfortable not because I'm in limbo, but because I came out of it.
It's interesting how the childhood limbo game requires flexibility, focus and strategy to master. I think that must be a metaphor for life. Leaving this state of inactivity, transition, and imprisonment I find myself in today will take all three of those traits. Moving forward, I hope to claim the limbo victory that my childhood self never could. Fortunately this time around I won't need to bend any unwilling limbs or humiliate myself in front of crowds of jeering children.

Workspot is a cloud service that enables IT to deploy VDI on-premises, in Azure or both – in just a day.
Workspot Hybrid Desktop Cloud is 10x simpler
The Workspot VDI solution is 10x simpler because it is cloud-native and designed for the modern data center. No more brokers to deploy. Or web interface. Or load balancing. Or provisioning servers. Or databases. Or license servers. No need to worry about high availability of each of those components. You can deploy your desktops in the cloud, on-premises either on legacy 3 tier infrastructure or modern hyper-converged infrastructure, or deploy a hybrid solution.
What is Wrong with VDI Today?
Legacy VDI solutions are complex and expensive. In order to deploy VDI for their end users, IT teams undertake a months-long (and sometimes years-long!) project that includes:
- Hiring consultants to design the deployment architecture
- Conducting a proof of concept to determine the solutions of choice
- Purchasing software, servers, and storage necessary to run the virtual desktops
- Hiring consultants to implement the solution
- Running user pilots and refining the deployment
And finally, once the VDI deployment is in production, IT is saddled with the ongoing challenges and growing operational expense of running a mission-critical service for the business, while having to continuously apply patches, perform upgrades, and troubleshoot hardware and software failures.

Jacques Pepin is one of my favorite tv chefs. His joie de vivre and quintessential French-ness make him a joy to watch in the kitchen.
In addition, his book The Apprentice is one of my favorite food memoirs. It recounts his education as a classically-trained chef through apprenticeship at a hotel, de rigeur for the time (1940's) in France, and is filled with much love for food, cooking, and recipes.
He waxes on about his love for simple dishes, like potato-leek soup with only five ingredients. Leeks are a very common ingredient in country French cooking, though I had never cooked with them. Last week, we had our last cold & rainy day of the winter, so it was a perfect time for me to debut Pepin's soup.
It is a white pureed soup, so it's not flashy. But the flavor! Something magical happens between the salt, leeks, and potatoes. Something that doesn't seem possible with its humble origins. Only because I made the soup myself did I believe that it didn't contain any cream (as many versions of this soup do) because of its silkiness. This became an instant classic for me. I'm just bummed that hearty-soup weather has just ended, but I know what I'll be spooning up come October.
Potato-Leek Soup
1 tablespoon butter
2 medium leeks, washed, split down the middle, and chopped (whites only)
2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½ inch cubes
3 cups water
salt and fresh-ground pepper to taste
- Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed soup pot and saute leeks until soft but not browned.
- Add potatoes, water, and salt & pepper.
- Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
- Puree in a food processor until smooth.

I can't believe it's already mid-September! It seems like I was just barbecuing and celebrating the 4th of July. The summer months passed way too quickly for me, so I missed out on a number of my favorite warm weather activities, including enjoying ice cream at my favorite shop, playing mini golf, and even picking out fresh produce from my local farmers' market. Thankfully, summer doesn't technically end until Friday, September 21, so I still have a little time left to do these things.
The fall will likely whiz by too, but I don't want to have a single regret about missing autumn activities, so I created a Fall Bucket List to keep me healthy, happy, and ensure that I fully enjoy everything the season has to offer.
Try a new fall recipe
I missed the opportunity to visit my local farmer's market this summer, but I don't want to let the same thing happen this season. Even though the weather is cooler, there are still lots of interesting and nutritious produce available at farmer's market, so some new fall recipes will definitely inspire me to expand my palate.
Go apple picking
My favorite thing about fall in New England (where I live!) is visiting a nearby orchard, picking, and eating crisp, juicy apples fresh off the tree. A medium apple provides 4 grams of soluble fiber for less than 100 calories, so it makes a filling and sweet snack. Apples even have anti-aging perks, so they're a welcomed addition to my fall eats!
Run a fall road race
The coming weeks are packed with autumn-themed road races, so to keep myself motivated with my running routine, I registered for a couple of fall races. If you're thinking about registering for one too, find a training plan (Couch to 5K is a good option) to build up your endurance and keep you on track with your workouts, so you'll stay motivated all season long and rock your race when the big day arrives!
Carve pumpkins and roast their seeds
One of my favorite memories from my childhood is carving pumpkins with my family—getting elbow-deep in slimy, orange guts and then designing my Jack-O'Lantern masterpiece. And I loved roasting and eating the pumpkin seeds! Pumpkin seeds are loaded with nutrients, so I love to add them to my diet. Here are some ideas for what to do with pumpkin seeds!
Go for a nature walk and enjoy its beauty
I want to fully embrace the sights and sounds of the season (brightly-colored foliage, the sounds of crunching leaves underfoot, and smell of crisp, cool air), so what better way to enjoy them than with a nature walk? I love to take afternoon walks with my dog, so I plan to walk with him through the wooded paths near our house to enjoy nature and its beauty—plus walking my dog is good for me too!
What's on your Fall Bucket List?

...lovers who took great pleasure from the fact that "they often had more than one tongue in their mouths"...
Umberto Eco writes about infinity in The Drawbridge's latest issue, themed First Love. In his piece Infatuated with Armies of Angels, he characteristically connects different ideas, toying with theories and romancing his readers. He writes about his current pet topic, 'lists', and how they suggest infinity, and how Love is a means of expressing the infinite. In fact, I wonder if this article in The Drawbridge is an excerpt from his new book, The Infinity of Lists, which I have not read.
Readers of this blog will know that I love making lists... For some reason (Umberto could probably tell you why), listmaking is such a comforting and fun exercise.

More Is Better To Me!
OK, experiencing a little "maximalist" - ism. I was waiting on my daughter at swim practice...I sat in the car watching a soccer game (not my favorite) and kept sewing stuff on to the picture. Obviously, a sign of pure boredom. It became a plethora of doo-dads and stuff. My first opinion was "stop"....then I continued to look at it...and I liked all the junk. I love the little, teeny, tiny frozen Charlotte with the broken arm. As someone who is a creature of "more is better", I often want to debate, "have I gone too far?" Oddly enough....I NEVER remove anything. More is ALWAYS better to me.

My daughter loves more, too!! Sometimes when I'm working on a page I'll look at it and think it does need more. I'm not so good at it though. When I do add more it is usually words.

My brother was fond of saying, "more is never enough"! And I believe the "more" to your art is quite satisfying! You are always inspiring!
Happy Day, Julie B.

On the heels of an inspiring 2016, the DECC has some exciting changes in store for the 2017 - 2018 campaign year! From our new look and logo, to new ways to give, click here for a roundup of how the DECC is working to improve your giving experience in the coming year.
The Denver Employees' Combined Campaign (DECC) began in 1988, when Denver Mayor Federico Peña signed an executive order, to provide City employees with a "responsive and convenient system of charitable giving through payroll deductions." Now in its third decade, the DECC has been a continual source of sustainable funding for local nonprofits, with city employees investing over $12 million in their communities.
Today, the DECC strives to promote and support philanthropy by providing a cost-effective and employee-focused way for city employees to donate to nonprofits providing support in health and human services, education, social change, arts, environment conservation, and animal welfare. Employees are able to designate their donations to one or more nonprofits through payroll deduction, cash, check, or credit card. All donations are voluntary and tax-deductible.
The DECC aims to bring together employees through events and volunteer opportunities to support their neighbors and create an everlasting legacy in Denver.
Mayor Hancock and the DECC Committee have designated Community Shares of Colorado for management of the DECC. If you have any comments or questions, please contact email@example.com or 303-861-7507.

Bumblebeed automatic startup - key information removed
Line 61 being removed made it an unnecessary hassle to troubleshoot the issue after reinstalling Bumblebee today. I finally figured out this was what I was missing after looking at Google's cached version.
"To start bumblebee automatically at startup, enable bumblebeed service:
systemctl enable bumblebeed"
- I really do not get your point, the current edit (my one) says:
- Tip: You may want to enable systemd service bumblebeed.
- which means the same thing.
- The reason I removed it is daemon operations deprecation. -- Flu (talk) 06:14, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
- Reworked a bit: does this look better?
- Tip: If you wish bumblebee to start at boot, you have to enable systemd service bumblebeed.
- -- Flu (talk) 06:19, 5 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for the link, the rule makes sense. But yes, the wording should make a big difference. Thanks.

Your style changes in postfix article breaks its content
While helping this confused user I found that you applied 'style' changes to the postfix article and this is an FYI that when changing 'PRE' to '{{ bc' it mangles the single quotes as they will be interpreted as wiki markup. I have corrected this specific instance but maybe you need to review some other articles you updated. :)
Spider.007 (talk) 09:30, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for reporting, this is a thing I really did not expect :( -- Flu (talk) 20:42, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
- A little tip, when I used to "translate" <pre> to any code templates, I made use of Firefox's Tile Tabs extension in order to preview the new revision next to the old one, scrolling both at the same time, thus making it much easier to spot possible unwanted differences. -- Kynikos (talk) 14:52, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Sentence case section headings
Recently I've seen a lot of your edits regarding the Title Case -> Sentence case conversion for section headings: [2], [3] etc. You should make sure that you don't break any/too much links (they are case sensitive), but I understand that this can be checked very difficultly. I'm very sorry if you are aware of this. Perhaps the checking could be done with a bot? -- Lahwaacz (talk) 15:02, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Information Regarding H1N1 and JBU
CDC Guidance for Responses to Influenza
STEPS TO TAKE IF YOU BECOME ILL The Director of Health Services, Robert Walker, has prepared a helpful sheet to help you know what to do if you experience flu-like symptoms.
Download it here (PDF).
Q: What is JBU doing about the spread of H1N1?
JBU is doing a variety of things to encourage healthy behavior on campus. Students, faculty and staff are being reminded the importance of respiratory etiquette, proper hand washing and staying home if illness has occurred. Plans are in place for isolation if a case of H1N1 is discovered on campus. Hand sanitizers have been purchased for areas of campus that are not feasible for frequent hand washing (computer labs, lobbies, etc.). In addition, JBU officials have communicated directly with the local medical community and our local and state health agencies.
Q: Where can I find the latest information concerning the H1N1 virus?
Is addition to following the CDC and WHO updates, a team of JBU officials are working closely with the Arkansas Department of Health and area doctors to keep up-to-date on the affect of H1N1 on our region. http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/ and http://www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/en/
Q: Which students and staff are at higher risk for complications from the flu?
Anyone can get the flu (even healthy people), and serious problems from the flu can happen at any age. The latest list from the CDC has identified college students as being in the high risk category.
Q: Will vaccine be available on campus:
H1N1 vaccine availability will be announced as soon as we have additional information. There will be at least 2 on-campus opportunities to take seasonal flu vaccine. It will also be available at doctor's offices and Benton Co Health Annex.
Q: What steps will JBU take in the event of an outbreak?
JBU officials are monitoring the CDC and other public health agencies for up-to-date information on how outbreaks should be handled. At this time, the recommendation is to isolate the ill person in their primary residence and relocate roommates to other areas during the contagious periods. It is not recommended that ill students be sent off-campus because of possible spread of the illness.
Q: What should I do if I start to feel sick and how long should I stay away from others?
Students, faculty or staff who have an influenza like illness should immediately self-isolate (i.e., stay away from others) in their dorm room or home and for at least 24 hours after their fever is gone except* to get medical care or for other necessities (their fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine). They should keep away from others as much as possible. This is to keep from making others sick.
*If persons with influenza like illness must leave their home or dorm room (for example, to seek medical care or other necessities) they should cover their nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing. A surgical loose-fitting mask can be helpful. Thermometers and masks are available through residence life and health services.

Gwyneth Paltrow has signed up husband Chris Martin and their two kids for French lessons.
The Oscar winner is currently shooting a film in Spain, but as the actress and her kids, Apple and Moses, are already fluent in Spanish, they have decided to learn the language of love.
Paltrow's actress mother, Blythe Danner, tells Britain's The Sun, "My daughter's doing a film in Spain now, because she's fluent in Spanish. I'm delighted.
"The children are fluent in Spanish too, so the whole family is now learning French. Gwyneth is the quickest learner I've ever met in my life."

Super comfy. Super great.
A must-have for anyone who simply loves t-shirts.
The subtly of the black text on a dark grey, How To Pack Like A Rock Star t-shirt, allows it to be worn (but not limited!) to any of the following occasions:
Birthday parties, bar mitzvahs, weddings, carnivals, candy shops, and funerals.
Luggage Tags
Because your packing skills are worth bragging about.
Not only is it a nice way to customize your generic black suitcase, but there's also really no better feeling then going through airport security and seeing the looks on their faces as they open up your suitcase… at that point when they say "Holy Crap that's organized!" you can say, "I warned you."
…actually it's probably best not to tell a security guard, "I warned you."

STATE v. MARK A. BRESCIA, SC 18739
Judicial District of New Haven
Criminal; Motion to Correct Illegal Sentence; Writ of Error; Whether Trial Court Lacked Subject Matter Jurisdiction Over Defendant's Motion to Correct Sentence for Summary Criminal Contempt. While appearing before the trial court in his criminal case, the defendant verbally attacked the court and exhibited physical conduct that interfered with the orderly business of the court. Consequently, the defendant was adjudged to be in contempt of court. Later that day, after the defendant met and consulted with his attorney concerning the implications of his courtroom behavior, the court held a summary contempt hearing in accordance with General Statutes § 51-33. At the hearing, the defendant voluntarily, and without inquiry, admitted that his conduct had constituted contempt. The court found him guilty of summary criminal contempt and sentenced him to serve six months of incarceration. The defendant then filed a motion to correct an illegal sentence in which he argued that the trial court had imposed the summary criminal contempt sentence in an illegal manner because it had incomplete information and it did not provide him with a "cooling off period," during which counsel could elicit, investigate and prepare mitigating information before the imposition of the penalty. The trial court determined that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the motion to correct and dismissed the motion. The defendant appealed to the Appellate Court (123 Conn. App. 342), which affirmed the judgment of the trial court. The Appellate Court determined that because the defendant's conduct occurred in the presence of the court and the court made a summary adjudication of contempt, the sole method to review the adjudication was by writ of error. It held that because the defendant had improperly challenged the criminal contempt judgment by a motion to correct an illegal sentence, the trial court properly concluded that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the defendant's motion to correct. In this appeal, the Supreme Court will determine whether the Appellate Court's conclusion was correct.

I've lived in Perth for just over three years and on this coming Monday I'll be moving back to my original home of Melbourne, Victoria, and to join my girlfriend (who moved a few weeks earlier for work). It's been an amazing experience living in one of the most isolated capital cities in the world, and one I will not forget.
Location and Career Change
Before I moved to Perth I was working as a Mac technician and SME consultant. I'd done web development on and off since 2005 but it was always as a side project and just a bit of fun. I had no intention of continuing to be a technician/SME consultant in Perth so a career change was in order. I've done web development as a hobby for a long time, so why not make a career out of it.
Sometimes turning a hobby into a job can take all the fun out of it. I love going to the gym and keeping fit, but I know I would never want to become a personal trainer, let alone work in a gym. Thankfully turning web development from a hobby into a career did not meet that unfortunate demise.
Web Developer, Officially!
My first job was handling the entire development process where I worked with some amazing talent in Perth. Henry Luong, Daniel Elliot, and Ryan Vincent were all really clever designers and it was a great experience to try and turn their designs into a reality. I knew that I was definitely on the right path, but I found I enjoyed more of the backend process. Dealing with browser quirks for the frontend frustrated me. I knew that I'd prefer to handle the backend side of things, and a year later got the opportunity of a lifetime to work at Humaan.
My last day at Humaan was yesterday but I was there for just under two years. Working with the team there has been an incredible experience and I've had the pleasure of working on some really cool projects, one of which is easily the biggest project I've ever got to work on. The team at Humaan are amazing and I feel truly honoured to have worked with them all for two years. It was easily the best job I've ever had. You know it's a great job when you're excited to go to work every day.
I've made some lifelong friends at Humaan and while it pains me to leave such an experienced team, it's time to move on back home.
The Perth Web Community
When I moved to Perth and trying to immerse myself into the web scene I found a group on meetup.com called Front End Web Developers Perth (or just Fenders for short). There I met some really amazing people and learnt a tremendous amount of things!
The leader of the group, Mandy Michael (who I can neither confirm nor deny is also Batmandy) deserves special recognition. She built up a community that is super friendly, helpful, and supportive. Mandy gave me opportunities where I got to do a number of presentations, run a workshop, and be a judge for a competition. I am forever thankful to Mandy for those opportunities. I honestly believe the Perth web development community wouldn't be the same without Mandy's incredibly hard work and commitment to setting up the group, organising events, and just generally being an all-round superstar. Three cheers to Mandy!
Patima Tantiprasut also deserves a special mention, her infectious energy and personality drives Localhost. I honestly have no idea how Patima manages to do so many things but also remain the most energetic person I've ever met. Thank you Pats, you're awesome!
Melbourne Bound
As I write this it's Saturday evening. On Monday I fly back to Melbourne and start the next chapter of my life. I've got a gig as a developer for a small boutique development agency where I'll be doing more PHP, Vue.js and probably some Golang! I'm super excited to see what comes next.

In Keusch v. Farm Bureau Ins. Co., unpublished opinion per curiam of the Court of Appeals decided August 30, 2011, (Docket No. 297642), the Court of Appeals held that the David Keusch's (the decedent) family was not entitled to No-Fault Survivor's loss benefits, where he over-dosed and died due to a combination of prescription pain medication and cocaine.
In January 2004, the decedent was unloading a large window from a truck when something popped out of place in [his] neck. The decedent immediately felt pain in his left shoulder and left arm. However, this was not decedent's first accidental injury. As a child, the decedent fell from a tree and broke his neck, and as an adult, the decedent, ruptured a disc in his back during an accident at work in 1996. Because of these injuries, the decedent suffered from a history of chronic pain.
Dr. Richard Kustasz became the decedent's primary care physician in September 2000 and continued to treat him for severe chronic pain through January 2004 and his subsequent death.
During their first meeting, Dr. Kustasz concluded that the decedent had, among other things, chronic back and neck pain, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. In April 2004, the decedent told Dr. Kustasz that his pain was so severe that he could hardly move.
At the end of 2004, the decedent's back and neck pain were worse than in previous years. The range of motion of the decedent's neck was significantly restricted. According to Dr. Kustasz, the decedent's neck and shoulder pain became even worse because of the window accident in January 2005. In February 2005, the decedent submitted a claim to Farm Bureau for no -fault insurance benefits with respect to the window accident.
On the morning of March 17, 2005, David's wife Jane Keusch purchased a box of five fentanyl patches, returned home, and gave the box to the decedent. The decedent started to run the bathtub water. Jane said goodbye to the decedent and went to the gym. When she returned she found the decedent lying dead on the bed, wearing a fentanyl patch. Dr. James Banner, the pathologist who performed the decedent's autopsy, stated that the decedent's body contained, among other things, cocaine and fentanyl at the time of his death.
Dr. Banner concluded that the cause of the decedent's death was a mixed drug overdose because he could not decipher which particular drug (cocaine or fentanyl) killed the decedent. The decedent's treating physician, Dr. Kustasz, opined that the drugs he prescribed to the decedent would not have caused the decedent's death if the decedent had taken them as prescribed.
However, Dr. Kustasz also opined that the window accident was the triggering event‖ for the stronger medication that he prescribed to the decedent, the decedent's desire for medication, and the decedent's self medicating.
Jane Keusch filed a complaint against Farm Bureau, seeking survivor's loss benefits and alleging breach of contract for Farm Bureau's refusal to pay personal protection insurance benefits. Jane Keusch's complaint alleged that, if not for the window accident, the decedent would not have consumed drugs and would not have died. Farm Bureau moved to dismiss the case, arguing that there was no genuine issue of material fact that the decedent's death was the product of the decedent's voluntary use of controlled substances in excessive quantities. Thus, Farm Bureau argued that the decedent's death was not accidental.
Farm Bureau asserted that Keusch's cause of action was barred because the decedent's death was proximately caused by his own wrongful conduct his use of illegal drugs. A Bench trial ensued and in January 2010, the trial court issued an opinion and order, granting judgment for Jane Keusch.
The trial Court relied primarily on Chief Justice KELLY's concurring opinion in Scott v State Farm Mut Auto Ins Co, stating that evidence establishing almost any causal connection will suffice when it is more than incidental, fortuitous or but for. The Court of Appeals reversed stating that Jane The Court of Appeals reversed stating that Jane Keusch failed to establish causation at trial.
In this regard, the Court stated that the evidence presented at trial did not provide a sufficient basis for the trial court to conclude that the fentanyl was more than merely fortuitous, incidental, or but for cause of the decedent's death. The evidence at trial indicated that the decedent's death could have arisen from one of three causes: (1) the fentanyl; (2) the cocaine; or (3) a combination of fentanyl and cocaine.
