POWER HOUSE PRODUCTIONS LLC via Crowdrise
August 20, 2012
In a unique and diverse Detroit neighborhood a transition is taking place. People are moving out, but people are also starting to move back. There is a devotion to this neighborhood, a unique challange to create a place that is rich in diversity, exciting and fun to live in, beautiful and clean to play in. Ride-it Sculpture Park come this summer, with your help, will become the first sculpture park where you can officially ride the art. Not to mention a place where bored neighborhood teenagers and adults can meet, play, create, build and ride on.
Ride it Sculpture Park consists of four vacant commercial lots along East Davison Freeway in Detroit and an adjacent vacant house as the main site for the project. The house will serve as a mini indoor park, transforming parts of the house to be skateable and livable at the same time for visiting skateboarders and artists. The park will extend into the neighborhood revamping neglected alleys, garages and other vacant lots, creating a new and positive use for the forgotten and dismissed landscapes of this great city.
OUR TEAM: Artists and skateboard industry professionals from the neighborhood and across the country:
Project Partners: Emerica, Independent
Media Partners: Thrasher, Slap, Juxtapoz

With the closing of most recreational facilities and lack of art venues in the city, Detroit is in dire need for new models for community building, infrastructure care and neighborhood life that is dependent on DYI projects as apposed to business as usual. Designing and building of Ride It Sculpture Park will be done with the help and input of the local teens, making them stakeholders/skateboarders in the growth and success of their neighborhood.
And for the Kids on Grant Street, we promise the park will not suck.

Wow - I didn't realise it was going to be that big! It's a gift for a young member of the family - I think he'll be thrilled as he's a tractor fanatic at 6 years old. A practical gift too. The towel has a smoother upper side so it'll be more comfortable to sit on at the beach. It seems to have a thick absorbent power so no usual skinny beach towel.
Here's a restful, shady spot to enjoy a summer evening in!
I was born in Louisiana, and spent my early childhood moving from state to state until settling in New Jersey in third grade. My leanings toward art were placed on the back burner while I focused on high school, college, and making a living. Then, my artistic impulses came out--I painted a tropical island paradise in the garage as a consolation for rained out picnics. Hence, at the advanced age of 48, I began my art training. I continue to learn by doing, creating paintings from scenes that inspire me. I sold my first painting in 2005, and have had paintings accepted into several juried shows, both local and national, including the 2014 Oil Painters of America Eastern Regional Exhibit and the Contemporary Art Gallery Online (where I won...

Schroders Quickview: Russia - one cut down, many more to come
Russia cuts interest rates but more reductions will be needed to support a return to economic growth.
Russia has cut interest rates in line with expectations, taking the key rate from 11% to 10.5%. Speaking after the decision, central bank governor Elvira Nabiullina gave a fairly dovish statement, saying that the outlook for the economy was improving and more rate cuts would be considered with consumer inflation slowing. As a caveat, though, further cuts would be dependent on both lower CPI prints and lower inflation expectations.
Though the Russian economy recorded better-than-expected first quarter GDP, it is still contracting, and so a rate cut is welcome news. Both industry and the consumer have exited freefall but a recovery is still lacking. We do not expect the rate cut to revive household spending just yet, but easier monetary conditions should reduce headwinds for investment.
Though the governor's statement could have been more dovish, we expect further rate cuts this year to take the policy rate to 9% by year end. A disinflation trend should take hold in July, particularly with currency risk much reduced on the back of firmer oil prices.

Apprenticeship is the process of learning a skilled occupation through:
To become an apprentice, you must be:
The length of training varies from one to six years, depending on the occupation.
There is a written contract between the apprentice and the employer that acknowledges their shared commitment to the training process. This agreement is approved and registered by the New York State Department of Labor.
As a registered apprentice:
Some employers require:
Each apprenticeable occupation has a standard training outline. This assures that apprentices across the state have the same set of skills. The length of time it takes you to learn the skills of the occupation will depend upon the standard training outline and how fast you learn.
Each trade has a definite term of training listed in years. As a registered apprentice, you may progress according to that training term. Or, you may become skilled more quickly or more slowly than the training term. You may even start your apprenticeship with credit toward your goal. This is because your employer may choose to award you credit for prior work experience or coursework in the occupation.
You work under the guidance of experienced craft workers called journeyworkers. From them, you learn the skills of the trade. As you master each skill, you become a more productive employee.
At the same time you are working, you are also required to attend classroom related instruction. This is usually in the evenings. The place and time of instruction is set up by the employer and the local educational provider(s). It may be at one or more of these locations:
Your progress is tracked by
At the successful completion of each registered apprenticeship, the Department of Labor awards the apprentice with a "Certificate of Completion." This is a nationally-recognized credential.
A new trend in apprenticeship is for the apprentice to earn an educational degree. This builds on the current required classroom instruction. Some sponsors do this by combining the standard on-the-job skill part of apprenticeship with expanded classroom instruction in a particular field. This classroom training is offered at the community college level. As a result, the registered apprentice will then earn both:
Apprenticeship training is usually offered by the employer at no cost to the apprentice. There may be some rare instances where the apprentice is asked to pay for the total cost of the related instruction. In other cases, the employer may pay for the related instruction but specify that if you leave the program before completion, you must pay back those costs. As a rule, there are no costs to you.
Opportunities exist when and where registered sponsors want to increase the number of people in their training program.
If you are interested in becoming an apprentice you may:
Only apprenticeship programs officially registered with the New York State Department of Labor are recognized nationally. Only these programs can offer a Certificate of Completion to the apprentice at the conclusion of the approved training.

African Leadership Unleashed, an innovative pan-African network of university campuses launching this year, has elected CBM founder Conrad Wolfram to its Global Advisory Council.
A conversation with CBM founder Conrad Wolfram about maths, historical pedagogical approaches and a challenging standstill across the education ecosystem.
CBM founder Conrad Wolfram believes "today's educational math is the wrong subject". This article discusses Conrad's vision for maths and how today's subject is the wrong one.
This article covers how technology and fresh ideas are helping pupils to learn and touches on how Conrad Wolfram and CBM are at the cutting edge.
Our fourth CBM Summit was a success, with speakers and delegates from all over the world engaging in a selection of panels, debates and interactive sessions at the Royal Institution of Great Britain.
CBM needs your support. We've built a solid intellectual, practical and broad-based foundation for this fundamental change to education, and education is notoriously hard to change. So we have lots to do!
I greatly admire your work, because it is so far ahead of the digital learning experiences that most countries offer their students.Andreas Schleicher
What Crisis?
The importance of maths to jobs, society and thinking has exploded over the last few decades. Meanwhile, maths education is in worldwide crisis—diverging more and more from computational thinking–based problem-solving required by countries, industry, further education... and students. More »
Why Computers?
Computers are key to bridging this chasm: only when they do the calculating is maths applicable to hard questions across many contexts. Real-life maths has been transformed by computer-based calculation; now mainstream maths education needs this fundamental change too.
Why ComputerBasedMath.org?
Because we're unique in building a completely new, high-concept maths curriculum with computer-based computation at its heart—redefining maths as the anchor subject for computational thinking across all subjects, centred on real-life problem solving, not historical hand-calculating techniques.

Conrad Wolfram's TED Talk
Why do kids lose interest in maths? Conrad Wolfram says, in his pivotal 2010 talk at the launch of Computer-Based Maths, that the part of maths we teach—calculation by hand—isn't just tedious, it's mostly irrelevant to real mathematics and the real world. He presents his radical idea: teaching kids maths through computer programming.
Making the Case
Members of the CBM team describe the design principles of the CBM curriculum, how they differ from today's curriculum and how they have been implemented for the first time in Estonia.

Hurdle models
Mplus Discussion
Categorical Data Modeling
Brondeel Ruben
posted on Thursday, February 17, 2011 - 8:37 am
I was wondering if a hurdle model with a poisson distribution can be estimated in Mplus.
Secondly, I am comparing models (poisson, nb, zip, zinb, hurdle nb) within a SEM-context. I find that zip is the most appropriate method in a model with a correlation between the dependent count variable and another dependent (continuous) variable. But if I fit the same SEM-model without that correlation, I find that zinb is more appropriate. Is it ok to assume that the full model is the one I should base my choice on? Or is there something I miss?
the correlation is fitted like this:
f BY y1 y2;
Finally, I am also (for different data) interested if a hurdle model with a normal distribution exists. And if so, can it be done in Mplus?
Thanks in advance.

A hurdle model with a normal distribution can be done in Mplus. This splits the model into a binary part (event or not) and a continuous part (how much of the event), followed by parallel process growth modeling. This is automated in Mplus via DATA TWOPART (see UG and also the handouts for Topic 3 or 4; and see the Olsen-Schafer JASA article referred to).
The analogous approach can be used for counts with Poisson (but I'm not sure DATA TWOPART can be used). The "continuous" part is then a truncated Poisson, where the zero value is not included. Mplus handles the truncated Poisson.
I would use the full model where the 2 DVs are correlated as you have done. It is likely that both equations leave out covariates that are correlated.

Is it possible to do a multilevel hurdle model in Mplus?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Saturday, July 23, 2011 - 10:52 am
Short answer, yes.
Long answer:
The term hurdle model seems to come from regression with a count DV. This is possible in Mplus. Here, a binary variable describes if the event occured or not and a zero-truncated Poisson variable describes how many times the event occured. Another term is two-part modeling, which seems to be used with continuous DVs. Mplus has special functions to set this model up easily (DATA TWOPART). In both cases can one add a 2-level structure with random intercepts and slopes.

I have a question about the centering option, which may or may not be relevant. I am running a multilevel negative binomial hurdle model with centering at the group mean. I�m predicting the probability of alcohol use on any given day (the logistic portion) followed by number of drinks consumed on drinking days (the count portion following the hurdle). I�m predicting these outcomes based on mean daily mood. In the logistic model, mood is centered at the group (i.e., person) level using all available days for that person. My issue is with the hurdle portion. Is centering reconfigured for this portion of the model based on the number of drinking days for each person, or is it using the centering from the logistic model (i.e., total days). It seems, methodologically, that I should re-center the data based only on drinking days for the count portion if I want to look at cross-level interactions. Is that correct?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Monday, November 19, 2012 - 5:10 pm
The Mplus centering applies to both parts. I think you are right that you may want to do separate centering for the two parts.

Hi Bengt and Linda,
I gather from the above that in a hurdle model, those who cross the hurdle take on a value higher than zero. The model takes into account who the second-stage DV pertains to, and in the second-stage, zero is not a valid response option.
In our data, we have whether a person drank alcohol (0/1), and then in the second stage, a count of problems experienced due to drinking. But zero is a response option for the number of problem indicators (i.e., in the second stage).
This seems problematic to me because it deviates from the assumptions of the hurdle model, right?
I was considering other modeling options such as a knownclass model within the mixture modeling framework, but that doesn't seem appropriate either, because there are no responses for nondrinkers.
If we can do these models in Mplus, which model would be appropriate?
Thank you.
Lisa M. Yarnell

Bengt and Linda, could the above-mentioned DATA TWOPART be appropriate for our research question? Thank you.
Lisa M. Yarnell
posted on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 - 10:22 am
Or rather, Bengt and Linda, does it sound that our question would be best addressed with a zero-inflated negative binomial (or Poisson), given this explanation from the manual:
�With a zero-inflated Poisson model, two regressions are estimated. The first ON statement describes the Poisson regression of the count part of u1 on the covariates x1 and x3. This regression predicts the value of the count dependent variable for individuals who are able to assume values of zero and above. The second ON statement describes the logistic regression of the binary latent inflation variable u1#1 on the covariates x1 and x3. This regression predicts the probability of being unable to assume any value except zero� (Mplus Manual, p. 28).
So the first stage would distinguish zeros due to being a nondrinker (structural zeros) from zeros due to being a drinker but having no problems (true zeros on the final DV)?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 - 1:31 pm
I would try the zero-inflated Poisson or the negative binomial model for the count variable.
Please limit posts to one window.
Lisa M. Yarnell
posted on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 - 3:57 pm
Thanks, Linda. Does Mplus offer a statistic in ZINB output that reveals the quality of distinction between structural and true zeros?
That is, if both nondrinkers and drinkers can take on zeros for having alcohol-related problems (and the drinkers can also take on higher scores), can Mplus tell us the quality of the distinction between the two types of zeros?
This might be similar to the entropy statistic in latent class analysis, which gives information about the quality of distinction between classes.

You could do Example 7.25 using nb which would estimate nbi. Then you get the classification table.
Lisa M. Yarnell
posted on Wednesday, May 01, 2013 - 4:49 pm
This looks like what we are searching for. Is there an nbi option?
Linda K. Muthen

Yes. See the COUNT option in the user's guide.
Lisa M. Yarnell
posted on Thursday, May 02, 2013 - 5:01 pm
Hi Linda, I do like the idea of getting the classification table when modeling our data according to Example 7.25.
However, might we also do this as a KNOWNCLASS model where the nondrinker class has the probability of taking on a value above zero for drinking problems of essentially zero, in the nbi portion of the model? This would be done using the -15 constraint for the intercept of the DV, as shown in the example.
Basically, since we know our classes, should we do something just like Example 7.25, but as a KNOWNCLASS?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Thursday, May 02, 2013 - 9:04 pm
Typically you want to find out who is in the two classes.
Lisa M. Yarnell
posted on Thursday, May 02, 2013 - 9:40 pm
Thanks, Bengt. We do know who the members of the two classes are (drinkers and nondrinkers). The Example 7.25 seems very appropriate--we really like it. But it occurred to us that in Example 7.25, class membership is unknown, and a classification table is produced.
Would it be best to alter Example 7.25's model and treat it as KNOWNCLASS?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, May 03, 2013 - 8:51 am
I don't see what you are after.
In ZINB and ZIP you consider class membership as unknown - zero reported drinking in a certain period can come from 2 different classes of people: non-drinkers and drinkers who happened to not drink at that point in time. In this case the classification table can be of interest to study.
If you consider the class membership to be known there is no misclassification - the classification table will have zero off-diagonal elements. Where does "the quality of the distinction between the two types of zeros? " that you mention come into play in this case?
Lisa M. Yarnell

If we do know their drinker status, should we run this as a latent class or knownclass model?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Friday, May 03, 2013 - 9:39 am
You know their drinking status at one point in time. They report not drinking at that time. That does not mean they are non-drinkers. This is why you want to do the analysis with latent classes. Then one class is the true non-drinkers.
Lisa M. Yarnell

Great--yes, I agree, Linda. I think that makes perfect sense! Thank you.
Lisa M. Yarnell

Linda and Bengt, thanks again for your good advice to base our modeling on Example 7.25. The models run, with 2 nuances.
They run only as ZIP (not as ZINB, where the output seems stuck and doesn't come out fully). I think this could OK, however; we can perhaps use ZIP.
They also have low entropy (0.589), with an estimated 14.5% of class 2 persons being misclassified as class 1; and an an estimated 11.5% of class 1 persons being misclassified as class 2.
Is there a way to improve our entropy statistic and get lower rates of estimated misclassification?
Thank you,
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - 9:44 am
Adding covariates to the model can sometimes improve entropy.
Lisa M. Yarnell
posted on Tuesday, May 07, 2013 - 12:40 pm
Linda, can you tell me why the model would not run as ZINB, but would run as a ZIP? Mplus seemed to not even give a full output file when I tried to run it as ZINB--as if it stopped the analysis prematurely, and created just he beginning of an output file.
But when I changed (nbi) to just (i), the model ran fine and produced a full output file. Why would that occur?

Hi Linda,
Example 7.25 is working great for us.
We see the Loglikelihood values and scaling parameters for comparing 2 nested models (with the H0 label).
How do we also compare against the null model H1? I don't see the fit of the null model (H1) expressed as a Loglikelihood in the output, against which we can compare. Should we think of this H1 model as the "unrestricted model"--would that be the proper term?
Thank you.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Thursday, May 09, 2013 - 2:25 pm
There is no H1 model when means, variances, and covariances are not sufficient statistics for model estimation.
Lisa M. Yarnell
posted on Monday, June 03, 2013 - 5:52 pm
Hi Linda,
We are using mixture model 7.25 for our ZINB analyses, with class predicting who can and cannot take on a positive score for the count regression. I am surprised to see that some cases are being dropped due to missing data on the dependent variable. This is surprising because the Mplus manual states that even with MLR estimation and count DVs, Mplus handles missing data on the DVs with ML methods.
The message we are receiving is:
Data set contains cases with missing on all variables except x-variables. These cases were not included in the analysis.
Number of cases with missing on all variables except x-variables: 52
Why is Mplus excluding these cases, who according to the message are missing their score on the DV, rather than employing ML treatment of this missing data?
Thank you.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Monday, June 03, 2013 - 5:56 pm
Yes, cases are excluded if they have missing values on all dependent variables. They have nothing to contribute.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Monday, June 03, 2013 - 6:00 pm
ML handling of missing data does not use a person who has missing on all of his DVs. Each person needs at least one DV that he is not missing on. Then you can borrow information from that DV when considering the DV with missingness.
Take the case of regression of y on x with some people having missing data on y. They are not used in ML estimation of the slope and intercept. They contribute to the estimation of the marginal distribution of x, but those parameters are not part of the regression model.

Hi again Linda and Bengt,
In Example 7.25, when there are multiple predictors of class and score on the DV (as with variables x1 and x3), I have the following questions:
1. x1 and x3 are correlated by default, without this needing to be written explicitly into the code, right?
2. These correlations are set to be equal across classes by default, then, right? So, to allow them to differ between class 1 and class 2, we would need to code explicitly for these differing correlations in the two classes, if that is what we hypothesize. Is that correct?
Thank you for all of your help.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, June 05, 2013 - 6:17 am
1. Yes. The model is estimated conditioned on these variables.
2. No, they are not equal across classes. The correlations are not model parameters.

posted on Thursday, February 13, 2014 - 12:02 pm
Is it possible to use TWOPART (or some other procedure) with a predictor rather than a DV? I want to separate out the binary vs. continuous aspects of a predictor, but I get an error about lack of variance in the binary component. Any help would be appreciated.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, February 14, 2014 - 11:22 am
If you have a growth model that is two-part I can see predicting from the growth factors, but with a single variable I think you might just as well use a binary dummy predictor (even observed or not) - assuming that the DV has variation for each of those categories.

Respected Prof. Muthen
May I kindly request your advice on how to setup a 3-level negative binomial hurdle model in Mplus please.
The three level structure is country (level 3) ; category (level 2) ; and time (level 1). That is multiple time points of the category variable(s).
Level 1 variable is a 'count' variable.
A basic outlay of the Mplus code will be great help. Many many thanks in advance.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, June 08, 2016 - 10:47 am
Mplus does not yet allow 3-level count modeling. {Perhaps you can express the multiple timepoints in wide format and thereby reduce the analysis to 2-level.
posted on Thursday, June 09, 2016 - 8:48 am
Thank you Prof. Muthen. Yes I did think about using growth curves for the multiple time points. However given than I have many variables that vary over time I am not sure how to go about it, as having too many parallel growth curves in the model may become complex.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Thursday, June 09, 2016 - 6:31 pm
I see what you are saying. If it makes it any easier, note that you don't have to apply a growth model when data are in wide format - any model including a saturated model is possible.

I have a very elementary question related to hurdle and zero-inflated models.
I naively expected the coefficient for the binary part of these models to match the coefficient that would have been produced with a logistic regression model of an outcome in which the original values of 1 and above were recoded to 0, and the original value of 0 was recoded to 1. But that doesn't seem to be the case.
Would you please explain why not.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, February 15, 2017 - 11:19 am
The discrepancy you see if because a zero-inflated model uses a mixture at y=0, that is, some people with y=0 are in the binary part of the model but some others are in the regular count part of the model including 0. See chapter 6 of our new book where different count models are compared.
Lois Downey
posted on Wednesday, February 15, 2017 - 1:28 pm
Thank you.
And how about the hurdle model, where cases with y=0 can't be in the regular count part?
Is the discrepancy there caused by the fact that some people with y>0 are in the binary part, and others with y>0 are in the regular count part?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, February 15, 2017 - 3:09 pm
The hurdle model is a two-part model so I think there should not be a difference. If you like, you can send the two outputs to Support along with your license number.

I am working on the syntax for a hurdle model. The User Guide gives the example of two-part model for continuous variable. I wondered how the syntax should be if the outcome variable is a count variable.

You can do it two ways as explained in our Regression and Mediation book:
1) don't use Data Twopart but say (using negative binomial as an example):
Count = y(NBH);
2) use Data Twopart and zero-truncated count modeling. See book Table 6.8 script using the y(NBT) setting.

Dear Dr. Muthen,
Could you explain further? I assume that the reason to use the hurdle model is because the data are dispersed due to excess of zeros. If the data are not dispersed, is the hurdle model still necessary?
Thanks so much!
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Saturday, November 11, 2017 - 8:56 am
The negative binomial dispersion parameter is one more parameter than what the Poisson has. This handles a certain degree of overdispersion. But this is not the same as having a special model part for zeros like zero-inflated Poisson, zero-inflated negbin, or hurdle negbin. Zero-inflated adds a class of subjects at zero and hurdle also allows a special model part for zeros. Also, the zero class and the hurdle part can be regressed on its own covariates. In sum, negbin's dispersion parameter is different from hurdle modeling.

Apache Celix - Universal OSGi?
Systems which require dynamics and interoperability need a good architecture and clear design principles. OSGi provides this for Java based systems, but for embedded/native systems currently no alternative is available.
To fill this gap, Apache Celix is created. Apache Celix is an implementation of the OSGi specification adapted to C, focussed on embedded and distributed platforms. Celix is a new Apache project currently starting up in the Incubator.
The goal is, to follow the OSGi specification as much as possible, and grow towards an implementation with most of the OSGi Core and Compendium implemented.
To be able to support distributed platforms, the Remote Services from the Enterprise Specification will be implemented. Using Remote Services also makes it possible to create interoperability with Java OSGi.
For distributed systems, deployment/distribution is an important aspect. For OSGi Apache Ace can be used to maintain and manage deployment to multiple targets. This makes Apache Ace a perfect candidate for deployment of Celix Bundles and Artifacts.
This presentation shows how Celix solves the dynamic aspects of OSGi services in C. It will detail differences between the OSGi Specification and the Celix solution.

Burbank on Parade pays homage to aviation when it marches down Olive Avenue beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday.
It's with luck that the parade committee has a link to former Lockheed test pilot Robert Gilliland, who will be sharing the title of grand marshal with United Airlines No. 1 pilot Clay Lacy. Gilliland, 85, was the original test pilot of the SR-71 Blackbird when it made its first flight in Palmdale on Dec. 22, 1964.
The Blackbird was designed by Kelly Johnson and was developed as a long-range strategic reconnaissance aircraft that could fly at speeds more than Mach 3.2 and as high as 85,000 feet. The first SR-71 began service in 1966 and the aircraft series was retired in 1990, with just a few kept in operation from 1995 to 1998.
In a phone interview, Gilliland explained that a reconnaissance mission is when an aircraft flies over enemy territory to capture images of military locations.
"You have got to know where the enemy is and what he is doing," Gilliland said. "The more you know about the enemy, the easier it is to defeat them."
Kelly Johnson was the chief designer for Lockheed from the 1930s to the '70s.
"The Blackbird was the fastest plane to fly for Lockheed and anybody else around the world," Gilliland said. "It could fly so high, the Russians or anybody else couldn't shoot it down."
Gilliland's fighter pilot experience, he said, was the reason Johnson brought him on as the test pilot for the SR-71. Gilliland volunteered for a combat tour in Korea in 1952 flying the F-84 in a fighter-bomber unit at K-2 Airport, Taegu, Korea. He returned to Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany in 1953 where he flew the F-86F Sabre Jet. Next he was assigned as a test fighter pilot at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida and the U.S. Armament Center.
He left active service in 1954 and joined the Tennessee Air National Guard, where he flew the P-51, B-26, RF-80, RF-84 and the F-104A. In 1960 he joined Lockheed as a civilian test pilot flying the F-104 Starfighter. A model of that fighter is now displayed in front of Olive Recreation Center, next to the Gordon R. Howard Museum.
"The F-104 was chosen by London as the best fighting machine for the 20th century," he said.
The engine was built by General Electric, he added, and all the major U.S. allies used it.
"I'm proud that the Italian air force flew the F-104 longer than any other country — 40 years," he said.
During his first flight of the SR-71, Gilliland flew faster than 1,000 mph for one hour. He was the first pilot to fly the next nine Blackbirds produced and logged more experimental supersonic flight test time above Mach 2 and Mach 3 than any other pilot.
Holocaust survivors to share stories
Survivors of the Holocaust will tell their stories of liberation from German concentration camps when the Burbank Human Relations Council presents the Burbank Days of Remembrance Commemoration, Yom Hashoah, at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday at St. Jude's Episcopal Church, 111 S. Sixth St.
Speakers are Marie Kaufman and Edith Frankie.
Frankie's family and the three other families living in Transylvania were taken from their homes in April 1944 and placed in concentration camps when she was 13. Her parents and four children — an older sister who was 15, and younger brother, 11, and sister, 7, were incarcerated. Only she and her older sister survived the yearlong detainment.
Frankie was first sent to Auschwitz, then to work camps. She was liberated when Russian troops invaded Germany.
Now 80 years old, Frankie tells her stories of incarceration to middle school and high school students.
Her message is never hate anybody because by hating, one only hurts one's self.
"Some say the Holocaust never happened," she said. "But I tell students to tell people they have heard the story of a survivor."
Grupo Folklorico gets float in gear
Grupo Folklorico Mi Bella Guatemala is returning this year to Burbank on Parade with another float they hope will take home honors. Lilian Avila, coordinator, and her volunteers are creating a float in keeping with the aviation theme.
Last year, the theme celebrated Burbank's centennial year, so Avila and her group built a huge three-layer cake. They piled three tables of descending sizes on top of each other and she sewed covers for each tier and applied white lace along the top edge to look like icing. It won second place.
Members perform folkloric Mayan dances accompanied by wooden handmade instruments — the marimba and chirimilla. The group wears custom-made costumes designed by indigenous craftsmen who spend months dyeing and preparing the detailed cloth. Evaniria Dubon owns the costumes.
Those volunteering are Elder Morales, Arturo Perez Solares, Maria Blackburn, Alex Munoz, Fernando Alvarez, Brian Munoz, Edwin Antoni Reyes, Elvina Vasquez, Socorro Leiva, Raul Herrera, Juanita Canel, Teresa Gomez and Chelli Cortez.

Elixir De Theophylline
(theophylline regular release)
How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Theophylline is used to treat or prevent the symptoms of bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and other diseases involving constriction of the airways. Theophylline helps to ease the cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and troubled breathing associated with these conditions by allowing relaxation of the tubes (bronchi) of the airways, thereby permitting increased amounts of air to flow through them.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are using this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop using this medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to use this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
How should I use this medication?
The dose of theophylline is carefully determined by your doctor based on your age and response to the medication. Sometimes blood tests are required in order to make sure the levels of theophylline are within the range that will be effective, yet not high enough to cause unwanted side effects.
Theophylline is best taken with a full glass (8 ounces) of water on an empty stomach (either one hour before or 2 hours after meals) unless otherwise directed by your doctor. If the medication causes stomach upset, your doctor may want you to take it with food.
Theophylline must be taken regularly as prescribed so that blood levels of the medication are always in the correct range for effectiveness. It is important that you don't take more theophylline than prescribed, even if your breathing does not get better, because levels at which signs of overdose take place are not as high as most medications. If your breathing does not improve, or gets worse, call your doctor at once.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store this medication at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
What form(s) does this medication come in?
This medication is available as a 80 mg/15 mL oral elixir.

Schützenhöfer and Plesiutschnig pass first test and advance to second knockout round
For both teams it was the first real test after four easy wins in the pool. In the first set the Austrians gave away a three-point lead at 17-14 and it was Brazil who had the first set point. They failed to close it and after that the teams were alternating set points. Brazil had four, but it was Plesiutschnig who claimed the first set on Austria's fifth set point (29-27).
It gave the Austrians a mental boost and in no time they were leading 7-2 in the second set. Eduarda and Carol Maxima came back to one point (9-8), but started making mistakes in reception and seemed to give up. Schützenhöfer and Plesiutschnig created a gap from 14-12 and it was Plesiutschnig again who finished the job with an excellent block: 21-16.
"It was really exhausting", said the 20-year old blocker after the match. "They played really well in the first set." Schützenhöfer added: "I think we won the match in the first set. We believed that we could win and that was important. We celebrated every point. In the beginning of the second set we were leading from the start, it became close in the middle but we were always leading, so it was clear in the second set. So the first was very important."
While their 15-year opponent Eduarda won the silver medal last year at the U23 with Thais Rodrigues, the third seeded Austrians finished 5th in 2013. But since then the team has grown, winning bronze at the U21 and making their World Tour debut with 9th place at the Prague Open as their best result so far. It gave them a lot of confidence.
"We want to win the tournament", said Plesiutschnig. "At least a medal", added Schützenhöfer, "but there are some very good teams, including Brazil. So if we have to play them again it's not going to be easy. And there are some other teams that are not so easy. So we have to play our best, then it's possible to win, otherwise we can get 5th or 9th."

When I was in High School, we had a drive-in on the corner, where we could go and eat nutritious lunches of french fries and candy bars. At least, they were an identifiable food, unlike the cafeteria. I basically grew up on potatoes.
My mother once took me to the doctor and said, "All I can get her to eat are potatoes." He pointed out that I was extremely active, basically healthy and in good shape so stop worrying mom. I should have kept eating potatoes.
There was one thing I was addicted to, besides potatoes and it was a version of a peanut butter cup. I think made by the same company. The difference was that the covering was a harder form of peanut butter over the softer peanut butter inside.
Memory alert: I was remembering this allllll wrong. The Smoothie peanut butter cup is what I must have eaten and it is butterscotch, with junks of peanuts, covering the peanut butter center. It was soooooo good.
