Like a first draft of a paper, a first draft of a Stata .do file is prone to typos and other errors. The awesome thing about scripting in Stata is that if there's a scripting error, then Stata will error out and simply stop. However, if there's a non-scripting error that affects the data, the .do file will generate flawed results without any warning! So, before sharing treatment effects regressions or summary statistics with co-authors or your PI, first make sure you can answer yes to the following questions.
- Does the number of observations for each regression or summary statistic make sense?
- Do the magnitude and sign of each coefficient/summary statistic seem reasonable?
- Did you delete the constant term and add the control mean in the regression table?
- Did you check for joint significance of your covariates?
- Did you label the dependent variables/columns?
- Did you label the covariates/rows?
- Did you add a title?
- Is it clear what the estimation procedure is (e.g. regression vs. probit)?
- Are the column widths the right size so as not to cut off text?
- Is the bordering consistent with your other tables?
- Are the numbers rounded to an appropriate level, so you don't display too many decimal places?
- Do the notes to the table clearly indicate how standard errors have been estimated, and what control variables if any have been included but not shown?
If the answer is no to any of the above questions, then you know that you have to go back and make adjustments. If the number of observations in each regression is not consistent, then maybe you're accidentally dropping observations. Or, maybe there's a legitimate reason. Your regressions need not fit your initial hypothesis and often they won't. But, the more out-of-sync your regression is with expectations, the more you should consider re-checking your underlying data.
For regressions on treatment effects, the control mean is often a clearer, simpler statistic than the constant term. A test for joint significance (the F-test) is informative because it reveals the likelihood that every interaction between covariates has no correlation with the dependent variable. The rest of the checklist simply involves crossing t's and dotting i's.
As a reference for generating publication quality tables, I've included two 10-step examples in Stata. These scripts rely on xml_tab and mat2txt for regression and summary statistics tables, respectively, but I try to make these packages easier to use by adding locals and walking you through. Below are example output tables (using system data) with very minor manual adjustments to add the control means and F statistic to the regression table and add borders and a title to both tables. The Stata code can be found here for regression tables and here for summary statistics tables.
Please add in the comments any other key items that should go in this checklist that you find yourself, your co-authors, or your RAs frequently forgetting

Here is a little toy example
Here is a little toy example using "esttab", which I really like for making regression tables. It looks nice, goes straight into LaTeX code (if you so choose), is easily adaptable and there is great documentation online. It makes it really easy to update results in your paper when you change a spec because you just re-run the code and re-compile the LaTeX and voila! (Note: this won't run, its just an example).
estimates clear
eststo: xi: reg Y `X' `X1' cluster(`cluster')
qui sum Y
estadd scalar Mean = r(mean)
eststo: xi: reg Y2 `X' `X2' cluster(`cluster')
qui sum Y2
estadd scalar Mean = r(mean)

Dear Matthew,
Dear Matthew,
Can you provide some literature reference about your recommendation: Did you delete the constant term and add the control mean in the regression table?
I assume the control mean is the mean of Y(?)
Hi Eric,
Hi Eric,
In the context of treatment regressions for randomized experiments, the control mean is a simpler, more intuitive data point than the constant term. Ultimately, the control mean is the counterfactual for the treatment mean whereas the constant term is just a component of the regression. If a treatment regression is y=a+bT + e where T=1 for treatment and T=0 for control, then the constant term and control mean will be nearly the same. But, if a treatment regression includes stratification covariates (e.g. y=a+bT + cV + e), then the constant term may be very different from the control mean. As for a literature reference, I'd just suggest you look at examples from papers reporting on randomized experiments (e.g. Miracle of Microfinance? Evidence from a Randomized Experiment and Estimating the Impact of Microcredit on Those who Take it Up: Evidence from a Randomized Experiment in Morocco)
This code is very helpful. I
This code is very helpful. I especially like the summary stats.
Is there any way for the regression output table to include the R squared and adjusted R squared?
Hi Dan,
Hi Dan,
Yes, you can include the adjusted R squared by adding r2_a to the stats() component. In the linked regression table .do file you'd write the following: xml_tab `tab1', title("Table 1. Example Regression Table") sheet(`depvar1') below stats(N r2_a) save(`folder'`filename') replace)
For more, see help xml_tab for more information.
Dear Matt,
Dear Matt,
I am running the code for summary statistics, however it says that "matrix y not found". Any suggestions? Thanks a lot.
Hi Melissa,
Hi Melissa,
Try running the code all together. There is no matrix y in the code, so I'm not sure why you're getting that error. Could you be more specific about where you're getting the error? To be clear, the matrix is m and y is a local variable.
This was so helpful... thanks

On March 11, 2011 as people in Koondankulam and Idinthakrai, two coastal villages in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, watched the unfolding nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan on TV in horror, they couldn't help but think — this could happen to us.

Now a year later, thousands of local villagers and anti-nuclear activists are locked in a tense face off with the Indian State over an unfinished nuclear power project in the area that's been three decades in the making.
Since the late 1980s the mostly fisherfolk and farmer population in this remote area on the southern tip of the Indian peninsula have been fighting a plans for massive nuclear energy project near their homes. The unfinished Koodankulam Nuclear Power Project (KKNPP), an Indo-Russian venture, was begun in the 1980s and shelved when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. It was taken up again in 1997 and since then, despite local opposition, Russian nuclear equipment vendor, Atomstroyexport, has built two massive 1,000-megawatt reactors at the site. The $2.5 billion project is set to have six reactors and, once completed, will be India's largest power-generating complex.
Last year's Fukushima disaster strengthened the local anti-nuclear movement that had sort of lost steam in the intervening years. It received further impetus when, less than four months later, KKNPP carried out a "hot run" of its first reactor. Plant officials sent out a mock emergency drill notice to villagers living nearby which, locals say, basically translated to "cover your nose and mouth and run for your life!"
That was enough to get people out on the streets again demanding the plant be scrapped. Since last August villagers from communities around Kudankulam, led by People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy (PMANE), a local nonprofit, have come together with renewed force to protest the project citing environmental and safety concerns. They've mounted a series of sit-ins in front of the plant, blocked roads and sea routes to the project site, and gone on hunger strikes.
The agitation bore some fruit — work on the plant was put on hold for eight months while state officials alternately tried to negotiate with the protestors or crack down on them. Over the past months the Indian government, which is facing a coal supply crisis and is in desperate need of power to keep its economic growth on path, has charged hundreds of protestors with "sedition" and "waging war against the country." Protestors say they have been stalked by intelligence officials, subjected to physical and verbal abuse, and received death threats. (India has big nuclear ambitions. There are 20 nuclear power plants currently in operation in the country, producing around 5,000 megawatts of electricity. Seven more reactors are under construction across India. The country aims to fulfill 25 percent of its electricity needs through nuclear power by 2050.)
"The Government of India does not want to acknowledge the simple fact that even 'ordinary citizens' of India have a mind of their own, can take a stand on policy issues and 'development' projects that affect their lives, and stand up for their rights to life and livelihood," PMANE leader SP Udayakumar, a local schoolteacher, wrote on the nuclear watchdog website DiaNuke.org, after Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh alleged the protestors were received illicit foreign funding from the U.S. and Scandinavian nonprofits.
Things came to a head last Monday (March 19), after Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalitha (a state chief minister is equivalent to a state governor in the US), who had so far been supporting the protestors, gave the project a go-ahead. She claimed her officials had studied experts' reports and deemed the plant safe. More likely, the chief minister simply gave in to pressure from the federal government.

Once news broke, the face off was perhaps inevitable. Thousands of villagers and anti-nuclear activists gathered near the plant site, as did thousands of security personnel in riot gear. Work on the project resumed amid tight security. The State imposed a curfew. Police squads blocked every road leading to Koodankulam and Idinthikarai, and several hundreds were detained. But many hundreds more managed to slip through the barricades. They are still there today, men, women and children, camping out on the grounds of a century-old local church. Fifteen activists, including S P Udayakumar and M Pushparayan — the two top PMANE leaders, have gone on an indefinite hunger strike. More people are being arrested everyday and there have been allegations that the police had stopped essential supplies like milk and drinking water from reaching the area. Villagers, in turn, are digging trenches around their villages in order to keep government officials out.
Excerpts from an update Udyakumar emailed on Thursday:
"The situation here is still grim. There are some 10,000 people from coastal and interior villages. Most of them are women including pregnant women and nursing women. I myself saw many nursing women feeding their babies sweetened water as there was no milk coming to the village. More people are coming by boats and on foot as the access roads are all blocked by police. There is no bus service to this place. There is no sanitary complex and women bear the brunt of it. No public health official has ever come to help the people."
"The governments and the police treat and speak of me as if I were Osama bin Laden and our people some mindless terrorists. We resent this inhuman and brutal treatment . … We are a group of simple people who have been fighting nonviolently and democratically against an untested foreign reactor with all kinds of problems and hiccups. We have not done any harm to anybody or anybody's property in our eight-month long struggle.
News reports from India indicate that following allegations of officials trying to starve out the protests, some of the police barricades were lifted on Friday and food supplies and were being allowed in.
With neither the State nor protestors willing to back off, the stalemate continues.

June 19, 2014
By Steven McCartney, FSU Sports Information Assistant
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Former Florida State All-American pitcher Luke Weaver was honored with the Rawlings Gold Glove Award for his outstanding defensive performance throughout the 2014 season. The award is voted on by members of the American Baseball Coaches Association.
Weaver was perfect in 26 defensive chances on the mound, finishing with 19 assists and seven putouts. He helped turn three double plays, caught one runner stealing and picked off two runners.
Weaver ended the season with a 2.62 ERA and an 8-4 record over 16 starts. He allowed opponents to hit just .226 against him and threw two complete games, marking the first Seminole with multiple complete games in a season since Sean Gilmartin in 2009.
Florida State has now collected four Gold Gloves since the awards inception in 2007. Weaver joins an elite group of past Seminoles to win the Gold Glove Award including Buster Posey (C, 2008); Tyler Holt (OF, 2009); and Sherman Johnson (3B, 2012). FSU's four all-time winners are tied with Creighton, UC Irvine and Kentucky for the most Gold Gloves by a school in the eight-year history of the award.
The DeLand, Fla., native was previously honored this season as a first team All-ACC selection and a third team All-American by Collegiate Baseball.
Weaver was drafted earlier this month in the first round (27th overall) of the MLB First Year Player Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals. He became the 21st Seminole taken in the first round of the draft, six of which have been taken by the Cardinals, most recently James Ramsey in 2012.
The complete 2014 Rawlings Gold Glove/ABCA winners are below:
Position, Name, School, Class
C, Chris Hoo, Cal Poly, Sr.
1B, Michael Pomeroy, Grand Canyon, So.
2B, Brooks Marlow, Texas, Jr.
SS, Vince Conde, Vanderbilt, So.
3B, Matt Chapman, Cal State Fullerton, Jr.
OF, Logan Brown, Baylor, Jr.

Honoring Heroes on Memorial Day and Affordable In Home Senior Care
Memorial Day is traditionally used to mark the beginning of summer for most Americans. It usually means a long weekend and possible mini vacations away from home. With cookouts, get-togethers and celebrations, the true meaning of the holiday can be easily forgotten. Many businesses and government offices will lower their flags to half-mast to remind us to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who lost their lives to protect our country. This Memorial Day, make it a point to take the time to honor our fallen heroes.
One way of honoring heroes on Memorial Day it to attend a local service, ceremony or parade hosted by the city. Many cities also host concerts; this provides a great way to participate and socialize within the community as well. If a local event is not feasible due to weather or health issues, you can also find a concert televised from Capitol Hill.
Make sure that your red, white and blue are waving proud on Memorial Day. If your flag has been out of commission, now is the time to make it a priority to repair and hang it proudly. The National Moment of Remembrance begins at 3PM on Memorial Day. Take a moment to pay your respects with awareness or prayer.
When it comes to war stories and personal military history, it might not always be desirable to recount. It may get easier as time passes and is very important not only to family history, but also our nation's history, to learn these stories. Personal perspective of wartime events are crucial to helping to shape our history and in time, hopefully can be recorded. It is especially important to write these memories down for future generations so they can learn and respect the many sacrifices made by our veterans and fallen soldiers.
A very simple way to show your respect and to honor our heroes is to purchase a poppy from a VFW veteran. The veteran will surely feel your gratitude when you pay for your poppy. This little reminder can be tied to your rearview mirror, purse, or worn attached to your shirt. Memorial Day isn't just about kicking off summer and hosting a party; it all starts with those who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep America free.

No Expedia cancellation fee to change or cancel almost any hotel reservation.
California's nickname "The Golden State" hails back to the 1849 discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill, just outside of what is now the state capital of Sacramento. The moniker, though, could just as easily refer to the colour of the sun beating down on California's glorious beaches or the colour of the Oscars given out in Los Angeles every year in a televised ceremony watched by a billion people around the globe.
To people who know and love it, California isn't one state but almost two: Northern California and Southern California. Finding the best California hotel deals in each takes some legwork.
The misty groves of Northern California are home to the giant Sequoia redwoods, the oldest and tallest living creatures on earth. Napa Valley is one of the premiere wine-making regions in the world.
Monarch butterflies migrate by the tens of thousands every year at Santa Cruz's Natural Bridges State. John Steinbeck's favourite city, Monterey, features a world-class aquarium, playful otters swimming in the harbour, and Ed (Doc) Ricketts' original laboratory.
Iconic San Francisco tourist destinations like Golden Gate Bridge, Chinatown, Embarcadero, and Fisherman's Wharf are thrilling to behold. Explore the twisting paths, arboretums, and flowers of the city's Golden Gate Park, or ride a cable car to view Alcatraz Island from the top of Nob Hill.
Southern California is known for its gorgeous weather, its white-sand beaches, and Los Angeles. LA has first-class museums like the Getty Center, the California Science Center, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
LA is first and foremost a film industry town. Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures, and Universal all host studio tours where you can view the sound stages where your favourite TV shows are filmed, and maybe even get to talk to a star!
Closer to the shared border with Mexico, San Diego has a world-class zoo with giant pandas, the SeaWorld theme park, and LEGOLAND for your little engineers.
How will you fit everything California has to offer into one trip? The secret is to narrow down the must-do attractions and select nearby California hotels. Expedia can help you find California hotel packages and other cheap hotel deals in California close to the centres of action. Go online, enter your criteria, find comfortable rooms at special discount rates and prices, and book your reservations. Whether you're looking for a cheap California hotel deal or a lavish resort where the sky is the limit, Expedia has hotels in California you'll want to stay in.

I have read different opinions on the subject. Some say do not shadow this 'EVER' or shadow that slightly. I personally like the shadow look. It's digital….do what pleases you, right? I think if you like it, do it, especially if you are creating pages for personal use.
What is your thought?
To shadow or not?
I have read different opinions on the subject. Some say do not shadow this 'EVER' or shadow that slightly. I personally like the shadow look. It's digital….do what pleases you, right? I think if you like it, do it, especially if you are creating pages for personal use.
I like to make shadows giving the appearance of reality. Shadows in digi-scrapping will bring the page to life in my opinion.
I always use shadows when I'm making a digital page. I don't, however, put shadows on things I'm selling except for interior shadows on element clusters. I don't like it when designers put shadows on things because then it kind of dictates the orientation and depth the element will have on a finished page. I'm even picky about interior shadows on clusters. The industry standard is to have your light source from top left (135 degrees), but some designers have totally different ideas of where the light source is. I won't use them if they don't have the shadows coming from the correct angle (and I definitely won't even consider buying anything from that designer if the shadows aren't right). Its one of my design pet peeves...
I do almost exact what Cat says: Only shadow things when designing if it´s necessary because there are layered stuff. When creating, hoever, I like to use shadow, and a bit exagerated ones in relation to which shadows should be dropped in the paper stuff... Although we use to think in digiscrap in terms of realism, in fact what most do is hyper-realism, i.e, doing things a bit more real than the real... the digital papers have more texture than a cardstock in real life, they are strongly shadowed, etc. It´s necessary to try to add the ilusion of a third dimension in a bi-dimensional thing.
I never learned that the industry is 135 degrees Cat, thanks for the info! I was using 120...
I never knew industry standard was 135, either. Most designers I have purchased from use 120 and one uses 45. I was using 120 as well.
I love shadowing but I don't follow any rules, I just do what looks right to me on my page.
I also use 120.
Thanks for the tips. I am concerned about what shadowing could look like once I print. I have more than, don't think I'm crazy, 40 pages I will be printing. It's a whole scrapbook for my son and his wife for their 1st anniversary. I'm starting with birth of the 2 and every year up to the wedding. They will have fun seeing what the other one looked like, say in 1998. Hope I explained that well.
Thanks for the tip on the 135! I like shadows on some things and on some things I don't like it. I'm trying not to use shadows in my designs as well because I'd like to keep the people who will use my stuff happy.
I hadn't heard about standards regarding shadowing, either. Interesting. I generally shadow the way that I think best shows off the elements. I find one or two elements that I want to especially stand out and use those to determine my shadowing. Though I must admit, I've been using a LOT from a pack I got for free from Mommyish.
At least I´m not the only misinformed one. Cat, can you share with us where did you find this information? Maybe there are more useful stuff there.
Andene, are you checking for gamut before shadowing to see if the shadows are droping the layout out of gamut? If you use photoshop is just go to view->gamut warning. Also remember to check if your layout looks good in print size. If it´s all ok and on gamut, I don´t think there will be a problem on printing, but it´s better to wait answers about it from the other ladies, who print more than I do.
And no,we won´t think you´re crazy for a 40p. book... Cindy made a really big one for her parents, and shared lots of things with us
I use 135 because that's what I was told from the stores I use to sell in when I was designing before and that's what all the designers used then. Things may have changed in the last couple years. I like using that number for my personal scrapping as well because its easy to remember (top left) and it just makes sense to me that the light source would come from that direction. I think the key is to be consistent with your shadows. You wouldn't use top left for a picture and then use middle right for flowers and ribbon. And I definitely don't think shadows should come from the bottom (but thats my opinion).
I never knew 135 was the standard either..but it happens to be what I use. I like a lot of realism. Shadows can look fake if not played with. I use PSP 9. I use the warp tool to drag my shadows down where they should be deeper because of layers. and I also lessen the opacity. I also don't like templates that have shadows already there, more work for me to get rid of them and do my own and definitely don't like shadows in kits I buy.
I do the same thing you do, Jodi; warp my shadows after applying them. I mostly use 120 or 45 degrees, I tend to look at the light in my photos and 'follow the light' that is in those. I never download anything that is pre-shadowed. Some templates have a shadowed and non-shadowed option, that is a very nice touch of the template-designer. Makes my job easier .
There are some excellent links to shadowing tutorials in older threads somewhere here on Pixelscrapper - hold on a minute... - Ah, there they are:
Tutorials on shadowing techniques: this one here and another one here
Thanks for the advice and links to tutorials.
Lórien, got the hint...share. Here is the first page I did. This was before I discovered FREE kits (yay). I still think it's pretty cute, so I will probably keep it. I will share more when I have time to resize and upload. So many things to do (i.e...post this message) and so little time to do them.[url][/url]
I could never guess it´s a first page! my first one looks worse than a 4-yo school work compared to yours. In other words, I love it.
Shadows are always a hard matter; dark/black stuff are even worse. But I still LOVE them, so if you wanna see my choices for dark layouts just take a look at my gallery. I really, really enjoy stroking, as you did, but it´s my personal preference. Some glow istead of shadows also work at darker layouts...
Thanks Lorien. It was fun creating it. Love how a small idea can bloom into a creation. Here are a few more pages. I tried to not get carried away, but I think I might have. I was wondering if I should post pages somewhere else and get more advice, tips, tricks from other scrappers who print more often. I would hate to spend all that money having them printed and some, half or all have issues. They might see something that I'm consistency doing and could be a problem (other than the gamut issue) in the print process. I have had posters and pamphlets for baseball teams printed and the printer told me to separate the CMKY and combine again. I don't know why.
Cat, your post was very helpful to me. I had just read another site's DigitalDesignQualityManual.pdf and realized that when designers make clusters, they're supposed to include interior shadows but not exterior shadows. I search for more info on the topic and your post here came up. Do you or anyone else here know of a video tutorial showing how to do this? If not, know of anyone who would be willing to make one?
Hi Anette,
I'll do a little search for you, but in case I don't come up with anything... you can ask Marisa for designer 'behind the scene' tutorials right here: http://www.pixelscrapper.com/forums/digital-scrapbooking/tutorials/requests-for-behind-the-scenes-tutorials
She is always willing to make tutorials to help us out!
Cat, your post was very helpful to me.

How I do it is make an unshadowed copy of each layer of my cluster. Then I make the cluster as I normally would with the shadows. Then I merge the layers of my cluster, which will have an outside shadow at this point. I then merge the unshadowed layers of my cluster, use my magic wand tool and select around the outside of the unshadowed cluster, then highlight my shadowed cluster layer and hit the delete key. This removes the shadow from the outside of the cluster, but leaves the interior shadows.
Hope that helps...
I do pretty much the same as Cat, only I use a layer style for my drop shadow, so I don't need to have an unshadowed copy. If you click on the layer icon inside the layer panel while holding Cmd (on a Mac, Ctrl on a PC), it will automatically select everything on that layer, but not the layer style. I make my cluster complete with shadows, then I duplicate all layers (select all of them and hit Cmd-J or Ctrl-J), I merge the copies and select all the other items the way I mentioned before. Reverse selection and hit delete. Same thing, slightly different method. Oh, and I use CS6, but this should work in CS2 too.
I found another way, that is -again- slightly different, but should work very well too: http://meaganswordart.blogspot.nl/2013/02/tutorial-overlapping-drop-shadows-only.html
I make clusters ONLY with shadows in the interior. We usually provide a complete shadowed version as well as interior shadow only version on ViVa products. On my personal layouts, I prefer to shadow (120 degree shadows) and it prints out very nicely. I use ViVa products to check and make sure they print as well as they look on the monitor. I put the shadows on their own layer so I can control each shadow individually.
very cool tutorial Melo! TFS sweetie!

No Pain, No Gain: How Distress Underlies Success at Next Clarkson University Science Cafe
"No Pain, No Gain: How Distress Underlies Success" will be discussed by Clarkson University Assistant Professor of Psychology Lisa Legault at the next Science Café on Tuesday, November 19, at 7:15 p.m. in the Park View Common Room, above the Blackbird Cafe, 107 Main St. in Canton, and on Wednesday, November 20, at 7:15 p.m. in the Potsdam Civic Center Community Room in Potsdam, N.Y.
The capacity for self-control -- that is, the ability to curb our base impulses in the service of our broader goals -- is a defining feature of successful performance across life domains. But what psychological factors promote good self-control?
Join Legault as she examines the motivational and neurophysiological underpinnings of successful goal regulation and discusses the surprisingly adaptive role of emotional distress in boosting performance.
Science Cafes bring together engineers, scientists and townspeople in a relaxed, informal setting, such as coffeehouses and pubs. The speaker makes a short presentation about a topic in his or her field, and then opens up the floor to discussion.
Find out more about Clarkson's Science Cafe at http://www.clarkson.edu/sciencecafe.
E-mail Daniel ben-Avraham at email@example.com with any questions or suggestions for future Science Cafe topics.

Glycemic Index vs. Glycemic Load
Oct 22nd, 2014
Type 2 Diabetes Risk: Carb Quality Counts
Proof of principle
Glycemic index and glycemic load are measures of how carbohydrates affect our blood sugar levels. Glycemic index refers to how quickly 50 grams of carbohydrate from a food will raise blood sugar levels and how high those levels will go. The higher the glycemic index, the higher the blood sugar and the more quickly it will rise. But glycemic index doesn't account for the carbohydrate content in a typical serving size, which is where glycemic load comes in.
Health experts have long suspected that glycemic index and glycemic load are related to type 2 diabetes risk and now they have added ammunition that this connection is real.
To study carbohydrate quality and diabetes risk, researchers collected diet information from 37,846 healthy, diabetes-free 21- to 70-year-old adults. After following the group for 10 years, the researchers found:
- A higher glycemic load diet significantly increases risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
- A higher glycemic index diet increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, though not as much as a higher glycemic load diet.
- Eating more dietary fiber significantly decreases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
- Eating more starch increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
You don't have to count carbs to make your carbs count
Exhaustive glycemic index lists are available, but as this study shows, glycemic load may be the more important number. The glycemic index for carrots is 131. For white pasta it's 71. But a serving of carrots contains 4 grams of carbohydrate vs. the 40 grams found in a 1-cup serving of pasta. You'd have to eat several pounds of carrots to get 40 grams of carbohydrates!
The glycemic load, which adjusts for the carbohydrate content in a serving size, tells the true story. Carrots have a glycemic load of 5. Pasta's glycemic load is quite high at 28.
To avoid driving yourself crazy with glycemic index lists, consider the three things that lower the overall glycemic load of the diet: protein, fat, and fiber. This is one reason why the glycemic load of carrots is so low. The carrot fiber blunts the blood sugar effects of carrot carbohydrates. And, of course, the total amount of carbohydrate in a serving of carrots is low. This also partly explains why whole foods, like oranges, are a better nutrition choice than, say, orange juice, which offers minimal fiber.
Focus on getting protein, healthy fat, and fiber into all of your snacks and meals. For a snack think apple and peanut butter rather than apple juice and crackers. Ditch the processed foods and white (enriched) flour snacks. Focus on food that looks like, well, food!
And finally, don't forget about your waistline. Overweight and obesity, which affect close to 70% of adults in the US, are leading risk factors for type 2 diabetes.

One of the lessons of the financial crisis is that corporate governance, until now usually based on self-regulation, was not as effective as it could have been. It is important that companies are better run. If companies are better run, not only is a future crisis less likely but they should also be more competitive. The European Commission has launched today a public consultation that addresses the ways in which corporate governance of European companies can be improved. Corporate governance is traditionally defined as the system by which companies are managed and controlled. The consultation covers a number of issues such as how to improve the diversity and functioning of the boards of directors and the monitoring and enforcement of existing national corporate governance codes, and how to enhance the engagement of shareholders. The deadline for submitting contributions in response to the consultation is 22 July 2011.
Internal Market and Services Commissioner Michel Barnier said: "In the current economic situation, we need more than ever to ensure that companies are well governed and consequently reliable and sustainable. Too much short term thinking has had disastrous consequences. That is why we have launched today a debate on the effectiveness of the existing corporate governance framework. Above all, we need company boards to be more effective and shareholders to fully assume their responsibilities."
What does the public consultation cover?
The lessons of the crisis will eventually lead to better supervision of financial institutions, stronger banks and effective resolution systems for failing institutions. As part of a longer term review of the corporate governance framework of companies at large, this public consultation will focus on how companies, not just financial institutions, work. There are a number of findings that indicate that there is room for improvement in different areas of corporate governance1, such as diversity in boards, shareholder engagement and the quality of corporate governance statements.
Thus, the Green Paper aims to launch a general debate on a number of issues such as:
What are the next steps?
The consultation is open until 22 July 2011. The Commission will carefully examine all the replies to the consultation and issue a feedback statement summarising the results of the consultation in autumn. On this basis a decision will be made whether legislative proposals are necessary. They will, however, be tabled only after conducting a thorough impact assessment.
Background information:
Currently there exists at EU level a body of corporate governance principles and rules. It consists of a number of recommendations on the independence of non-executive directors, on board committees, and on remuneration. Moreover, it also contains the obligation for listed companies to issue a corporate governance statement. The directives on takeovers (Directive 2004/25/EC), transparency of listed companies (Directive 2004/109/EC), shareholders' rights (Directive 2007/36/EC), market abuse Directive (2003/6/EC) and audit Directive (2006/43/EC) shape the corporate governance landscape in the EU.
For more information see MEMO/11/218
The Green Paper is accessible at:
See e.g. the study on Monitoring and Enforcement Practices in Corporate Governance in the Member States, available at http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/company/ecgforum/studies_en.htm, or Paul Woolley, 'Why are financial markets so inefficient and exploitative — and a suggested remedy', in The Future of Finance: The LSE Report, 2010, or the Statement by the European Corporate Governance Forum of 23 March 2009, or Heidrick & Struggles, Corporate Governance Report 2009 — Boards in turbulent times.
A corporate governance code presents essential recommendations for the management and supervision of listed companies and contains standards for good and responsible governance. A very complete list of existing corporate governance codes can be found under: http://www.ecgi.org/codes/all_codes.php

Harry Reems, who starred with Linda Lovelace in the 1972 pornographic film "Deep Throat" and became a cause celebre in Hollywood after he was convicted on federal obscenity charges related to the movie, has died. He was 65.
Reems, who had pancreatic cancer and other ailments, died Tuesday at a Salt Lake City veterans hospital. His death was confirmed by the Veterans Affairs Salt Lake City Healthcare System.
He arrived on the Miami set of "Deep Throat" as the lighting director but when the man hired to portray the doctor in the film failed to show up, director Gerard Damiano said: "Put on this coat; you're acting," Reems told The Times in 2005.
At first he enjoyed the celebrity that accompanied starring in one of the most successful pornographic films of all time.
"You could call me the Shirley Temple" of adult films, Reems told an interviewer when "Deep Throat" was released. "Take an X film and make it an R because I have a PG body."
That changed in 1974 when he was charged along with 10 others with conspiring to distribute "Deep Throat" across state lines.
It marked the first time that the federal government had tried to charge an actor for the results of a film's distribution.
After he was convicted in 1976, The Times ran an editorial in defense of Reems under the headline "The Anti-Freedom Conspiracy" and pointed out that noted constitutional lawyer Alan Dershowitz had volunteered to handle Reems' legal appeal.
"If this conviction stands, no actor and no writer anywhere in the country will be safe from prosecution," Dershowitz said, according to the editorial.
Hollywood's A-list also took note. Celebrities such as Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty and Gregory Peck helped raise funds to pay Reems' legal bills.
Reems was granted a new trial but the charges were eventually dropped.
The damage to his personal life had been done. While waiting to go on trial, "the heavy drinking began in Memphis," Reems said in 2005 in The Times, and he became a "2-quart-a-day vodka drinker" who at one time lived "in the back of an Albertsons' dumpster in Malibu."
He didn't stop drinking until the late 1980s, when he ended up in Park City, Utah, and entered a 12-step alcohol recovery program.
Once sober, he sold real estate. Reems also turned toward religion.
"I put God in first position, not me," Reems told Utah's Deseret Morning News in 2006, "because anything I had ever done almost killed me."
The son of a small-time bookie and a housewife, he was born Herbert Streicher on Aug. 27, 1947, in New York City. At 18, he joined the Marines but received a hardship leave when his father became terminally ill.
Returning to New York in 1967, he acted in experimental and Off-Off-Broadway productions but turned to adult films when he couldn't pay his bills, according to a 2011 New York magazine article titled "The Afterlife of a Porn Star."
He went on to appear in more than 100 hard-core films that included 1973's "The Devil in Miss Jones." Reems also was interviewed in the 2005 documentary "Inside Deep Throat."
In the late 1970s, he moved to Los Angeles and secured a role as a coach in "Grease" but was let go because filmmakers feared his notoriety would jeopardize the box office in the South, according to the New York profile.
"Acting was my true love," Reems told the magazine, "and I buried that possibility by going into adult films."
Survivors include his wife, Jeanne, whom he married in 1990, and a brother.

So I am trying to determine the average number of nodes with an even amount of children in a plane planted tree with n nodes. I created the generating function, did some manipulation, then applied LIFT (Lagrange Implicit Function Theorem) which gave me the following: $A = 2^{n-1}[u^{n-1}](\frac{1}{1-u})^n$, where $[u^{n-1}]$ denotes the coefficient of $u^{n-1}$ in the function above. So my question is... where do I go from here? Typically, these functions have just been binomial-like, so extracting the coefficient has been easy. However, I have no clue how to extract it in this case. Could anyone show me how?
I should also add that once I have this coefficient and obtain the value of A, in order to calculate the "average value", I will need to divide it by the total number of plane planted trees with n nodes, which I also have as $T= \frac{1}{n}\binom{2n-2}{n-1}$

The UK's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) just banned Natalie Portman's mascara ad for Dior after one solitary objection.
The complainant? None other than makeup competitor L'Oreal.
In February 2012, Britain's ban-happy ASA censured L'Oreal's Revitalift Repair ad for making the anti-wrinkle cream's effects appear "misleadingly exaggerated" due to excessive Photoshop touch-ups on model Rachel Weisz' face.
So when L'Oreal saw Portman's too-good-to-be-true lashes in Diorshow mascara ad, it had to blow the whistle.
Portman's shoot was actually intended to promote a lipstick rather than mascara, but apparently her eyes looked so incredible that Dior couldn't help itself ... after, of course, deciding to digitally "separate/increase the length and curve of a number of her lashes and to replace/fill a number of missing or damaged lashes, for a more stylized, uniform and tidy effect."
And so, even sans consumer objection, the ASA decided that the image could be misleading to consumers and pulled the plug on the ad.

Candice Swanepoel & Erin Heatherton Take Very Sexy On Tour
It's hard to believe that the sexy Victoria's Secret Angels have to go on tour to promote the company's "Very Sexy" fragrance, but we're not complaining.
It's equally has hard – heh heh – to determine which of the two Angels is sexier. They could probably smell like elephant dung and we'd still drool over them. We can only imagine how intensified the feeling would be with an intoxicating perfume wafting into our nostrils. That's just sensory overload. We'd have to pull over like that overheated racer in ExciteBike.

Traffic Circle is a series of geometrically patterned modern landscape video paintings generated from footage that I shot in traffic, from high-rise apartments, at airports, from planes, and on the highway. The series is a continuation of my previous work on technological landscape environments, from skyscrapers to multilane highways. I have been explored the concept of the "modern landscape" with both traditional and new media since my first public show at the deCordova Museum in 1992.
The pieces are location, weather, and time-specific. Several pieces feature iconic New York City location such as Rockefeller Center and 5 th Avenue, while others were shot in Providence, RI and feature local industrial landmarks such as the Interstate 95 and 195 overpasses as well as the iconic three-smoke stacked Narragansett Electric Factory (now National Grid) and the Brayton Point electrical installation with its nuclear-plant-like cooling towers in nearby Fall River, MA. I shot video in good weather and in the rain, at twilight, sunset, night-time, and at sunrise. At times I was hanging out a window 45 stories up in a NYC high-rise, clutching my video for camera as hard as I could in fear that it might drop and… who knows what could happen. I also went up to about 1,200 feet, filming out of the open window of small propeller plane as we shook around in the strong wind like something in an amusement park ride and my fingers practically froze off, all while circling a power plant over and over again. I discovered that perfect atmospheric conditions are fleeting. Waiting for a certain cloud formation or lighting meant screeching to a halt by the side of the highway and lugging out my giant tripod at a moment's notice. People stopped to talk to me and I rudely did not answer—preferring rudeness over the task of in-post video stabilization.
Although I am using video rather than brushes, I feel that these works are in the spirit of Action Painting movement. The end product is just one possible physical manifestation of my experiences and thought process which are codified on the computer and realizable in any number of ways (different scales, using projection vs. a screen, altering program parameters, etc.) Inspired by my background in painting (MFA RISD), math (BA Brown University), and interest in Islamic art, I used a symmetrical kaleidoscopic framework to bring order to visual complexity. The symmetrical patterning satisfies a basic perceptual aesthetic desire for order by reducing the overdose of complexity that video capture can confer. While recognizable objects and motions remain, they are now in a context of a basic, geometrical visual language. Celebrating the same philosophy as the action painters and surrealists, my creative methodology uses automated computational functions that bring random features and arrangements into being. The changing angles and centers of focus create a constantly emerging stylized landscape with the objects, motions, colors and atmosphere of the actual scene but without the uniform photographic, western perspective. From the limitless possibilities that emerge, I can then choose those moments that "ring true." In this way I can discover and control visual material I never would have consciously created. Through personal engagement with the original environment and interactive computational strategies, I hope to fuse ancient and modern, and Eastern and Western compositional strategies to simultaneously represent both inner and outer modern landscapes.

SOCHI, Russia (AP) — The Ugly Americans are out in force at these Winter Games, and it has nothing to do with their behavior.
Team USA made the rounds in the opening ceremony at Fisht Stadium wearing white turtlenecks under gaudy Navy blue cardigan sweaters. Nearly every inch of the sweaters were covered by stars, stripes or patches of stars and stripes. It was vintage Ralph Lauren style, and it was widely panned on social media.
Many observers likened them to ugly Christmas sweaters, which have become a popular holiday staple in the United States. But unlike those parties, there was nothing tongue-in-cheek about these.
American skier Nick Goepper dubbed the festivities the "Opening Sweatermonies." Shortly before the event, he tweeted a photo of him and three teammates with their turtlenecks pulled up around to conceal their faces. Sorry, Nick. Nowhere to hide.
