How Would You Like Your Drink? Scrambled or Over Easy?
It may not carry the same fear-inducing firepower as challenging foods like tripe, brains, or other "variety meats," but there's an ingredient in occasional use behind the bar that sometimes rattles the unsuspecting customer: raw eggs.
Mixing eggs with liquor has a long heritage. A prime mover at colonial taverns was the flip, a drink typically made with a spirit such as rum, cream, and raw eggs (other ingredients such as hot beer or sherry were not uncommon); and while it's now thought of primarily as a holiday tipple, eggnog was once a fairly common concoction to call for across the bar. Egg whites became a staple ingredient in drinks such as the gin fizz and the whiskey sour, adding foam and body to the drink while slipping a little sustenance to the imbiber. And for sheer decadence there was the Knickerbein, composed of several liqueurs in a glass topped by the unbroken egg yolk and a mound of whipped egg white; the drinker was instructed to first inhale the froth, then drink the liquor while leaving the yolk untouched, and finally to gulp the remaining spirits while breaking the yolk in the mouth.
Changing tastes combined with salmonella scares helped drive raw eggs almost completely from the bar. But, as with the resurrection of offal at fine dining establishments, creative bartenders are rediscovering the benefits of raw eggs. Perhaps the best example of this is the ascendance of the Pisco Sour, a cocktail made with the South American brandy called pisco, sugar and fresh lemon juice; the drink is typically shaken hard with raw egg white to produce a foamy head, upon which is then dribbled a few drops of bitters. By dashing the bitters atop this stage of foam, instead of mixing it into the cocktail, the drinker is greeted by a complex aroma when taking a sip, and the drink takes on an additional dimension.
While raw eggs lack the gastronomic gravitas of foods such as Rocky Mountain oysters, they still inspire a few squeamish looks in a bar. What's your take? Do you hanker to have a whole egg served to you in a cocktail glass as part of a brandy flip, or do you think the closest your booze should be to your breakfast is when the waiter places your Bloody Mary next to your eggs Benedict?

Project SEARCH helps young adults with autism
Special program offers life skills, head start on a career
WHITE PLAINS, New York – A recent study from the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry finds that half of young adults with autism are unable to find work in the 8 years after finishing high school.
Geoffrey Straughn is finishing his final classes and he just started his first job thanks to a unique program called "Project SEARCH Collaborates for Autism." For young adults with autism, finding work can be incredibly challenging.
At Project SEARCH, interns spend classroom time learning life skills, but there is a strong focus on real-life job training.
"The mission is really to build the skills necessary for these individuals to move on beyond these doors to get competitive employment," explained David Kuhn PhD, Clinical Director at NewYork-Presbyterian Center for Autism and the Developing Brain. "Our interns go through 3 rotations, 3 [sets of] 10 week rotations for a total of 600 work hours per year where they are placed at different sites across our campus getting a variety of different experiences."
Interns range in age from 18 to 21 years old. They must have a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder, have no violent tendencies, be able to communicate and follow a one to two step schedule.
Project SEARCH intern Geoffrey Straughn said, "Well, I do need a schedule of what I do cause if I don't have a schedule, I don't know what the heck I'm supposed to do."
Geoffrey's new job is with one of the Yonkers New York District Attorney's office, and he is one of the 70 percent who go on to find work.
"Geoffrey has grown a lot this year, he's learning to do so many things, and he seems happy which is what I want," explained Geoffrey's mother, Judy Straughn.
Project SEARCH has grown from a single program at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center in 1996 to over 200 sites across the United States, Canada, the Unites Kingdom, and Australia.
Additional Information:
Research is necessary to help further our understanding of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Autism is when the brain has complex disorders. Autism affects the brain's ability to develop social and communication skills, which can often affect the person throughout their entire life. Researchers are looking at different treatments and approaches on how to better the lives of the individuals with ASD, as well as their families. Research is also being done studying the genetic as well as the neurology, and environmental influences of ASD. A recent study from the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry showed that more than half of young adults with autism are unable to find work after graduating high school. (Source: http://www.nyp.org/services/cadb-research.html)
PROJECT SEARCH: This unique program is a one year transition from school to work for people diagnosed with ASD. It takes place fully in a variety of worksites while using classroom knowledge and instruction, exploring, and hands-on training to help the students learn. Each day the students spend at least six hours immersed in the workplace to begin developing the skills needed, as well as becoming more comfortable in these types of environments. The goal of this project is to improve employment opportunities for adolescents with mental or developmental disabilities. Project SEARCH started at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, and now there are currently 200 Project SEARCH program sites specifically focused on autism in a variety of different locations in the Unites States and Canada. This program became possible through a grant from the New York Collaborates for Autism (NYCA) from the money earned at the 2012 Comedy Central event called "Night of Too Many Stars". It was in partnership with NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, Arc of Westchester and Southern Westchester BOCES.
In order to be eligible for the program the child must:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have a diagnosis of autism, PDD NOS, or Asperger's syndrome
- Have met graduation credit requirements, and have a current IEP, or have been alternatively assessed
- Have independent personal hygiene and grooming skills
- Maintain appropriate behavior and social skills in the workplace without immediate supervision
- Be able to engage in basic communication effectively, and take direction from supervisors
- Have a valid social security number
- Complete all required paperwork

I once had a dog. No. I didn't. You once had a dog. You once had a dig, too. I didn't dig. I dug. There was a place where that was done and where it was expected to. I sung. If it were words that you were to sing I'd sung along. I'd try, too. The words were, when sung, perhaps not as important as the not. The impact of them, in their hush, in the soft midst of them is in the ones you thought they were, in the mistakes to be made and the templates that they were touching to that to you in your mind applied and could form the sentence of the momentum of the motion of the mention of the melody form from. You were thinking of another song! But I was too.

Privacy advocates —" really, anyone who uses a phone or the Internet in the United States —" won an important victory before Thanksgiving when the Senate Judiciary Committee approved national intelligence legislation that did not provide retroactive immunity for the telephone companies that aided the Bush administration's illegal spying efforts. But the debate in the committee represented only one skirmish in the ongoing war over privacy in the digital age.
There is growing public awareness of the amount of data private corporations collect using tools like interactive Web sites, mobile wireless connections and global positioning systems, as well as remote computing through services like Google Docs and .Mac. Everywhere you look, the privacy issue rears its head: Some object to Mayor Michael Bloomberg's congestion pricing plan because it would allow the government to track who drives where and when.
At the heart of the issue is the question of whether our constitutional right to privacy will persist in an age of email and voicemail, or if it will fade along with personal letters and answering machines. Along with Congress, the courts are grappling with this question, deciding what standards the government must meet to gather information through different technologies. Their decisions have the potential to transform longstanding assumptions about privacy and limits on government.
The Legislative Battle
The legislation approved by the Judiciary Committee amends the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to permit U.S. government wiretapping of all communications that cross or occur outside U.S. borders -- without a warrant. But President George W. Bush has threatened a veto unless the bill also grants immunity for the illegal wiretapping he already ordered of domestic communications. Any version of the bill, the president said, "must grant liability protection to companies who are facing multibillion-dollar lawsuits only because they are believed to have assisted in the efforts to defend our nation following the 9/11 attacks."
The Senate Intelligence Committee passed a version of the legislation that includes the immunity along with many other concessions to the Executive Branch. The House of Representative, though, already passed legislation without the immunity provision.
The Senate returns to the Capitol in early December to take up the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has to choose which version of the bill to send to the Senate floor. Some observers say he is likely to choose the Intelligence Committee version, since it has bipartisan support. Opponents of immunity will try to make amendments to the bill on the floor or, failing that, promote the House version in the conference committee to reconcile the different versions. If that fails, some senators have vowed to try to block the legislation.
With or without immunity, the resulting bill will allow for spying without warrants on people in the United States in some circumstances, eroding the privacy of our electronic communications.
The Legal Contest
The privacy issue is also being fought over in the courts. In a case currently before the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Warshak v. USA, the government asserts that anyone who stores their e-mail with a company like Yahoo! or Verizon -- which means the vast majority of us -- has given up any expectation that those e-mails will be private. The very fact that the host company can see the emails, the administration's reasoning goes, means the government should be able to search the messages without a warrant.
The case tests the constitutionality of the Stored Communications Act. Originally passed in 1986, it allows law enforcement to obtain e-mails, voicemails, and other information stored with a third party using a much weaker standard than the one protecting our paper letters and phone calls. Warshak is the first case asserting that people have a reasonable expectation of privacy when using e-mail.
On the one hand, it seems obvious that e-mails are private. As a group of Internet professors wrote in a friend of the court brief, a simple survey of the contents of e-mail communication shows that "we rely on the privacy of the medium. Society does not make us rely at our peril but rather accepts as reasonable our expectations of privacy in e-mail." And yet the widely reported government monitoring of e-mails itself erodes that expectation.
The court is getting set to hear the government's appeal of the lower court ruling that the Stored Communications Act violates the 4th Amendment. While the debate in Congress could tell us whether anyone will be held accountable for past unwarranted invasions of our private communications, Warshak v. USA could set the bar for privacy on the Internet going forward.
Patriotism or Profit?
The phone companies and their supporters argue that they should have immunity for the illegal wiretapping because company executives are patriots who acted in good faith to help law enforcement respond to the traumatic September 11 attacks. But recent revelations suggest the businesses were responding to the more base motivation of profit.
Joseph Nacchio, the former head of Qwest Communications, has asserted that the National Security Agency requested customer data as far back as February 27, 2001, almost nine months before September 11. When the agency admitted it had no legal order for the request, he refused to comply. He claims the National Security Agency then retaliated by reneging on lucrative contracts. Nacchio was convicted of insider trading in April 2007; the loss of NSA revenue was part of his defense – he claims they were the basis for the rosy forecasts he made while selling off some of his shares – and he is appealing the conviction.
Comcast offers its employees a handbook to describe how to cooperate with requests from law enforcement. It includes a specific menu of fees to charge government: $1,000 to start an intercept, then $750 a month to maintain it. Call records are $150 for one batch per week, plus $50 for each additional delivery.
Many telephone companies have gone further, taking funding from the federal government to collect, store and analyze data on their customers, even sorting them into "communities of interest" profiles. The government could not collect such information without a subpoena, but the FBI argues that it is fine to outsource this surveillance to private companies to do it in anticipation of a subpoena.
The companies can feed any information or queries from law enforcement back into the system, mapping the social networks of anyone the government has under suspicion. They have regularly supplied information to law enforcement, not just in response to legitimate subpoenas but even to letters falsely claiming that subpoenas were on the way.
This is perhaps the biggest danger with data mining: Far from being a tool to collect information on known suspects, the collected information itself creates the suspects. So, if people create certain kinds of information about themselves – legal, constitutionally protected information about who they associate with or where they travel – that alone can make them suspicious in the eyes of their Internet service provider, their phone company and law enforcement.
An International Issue and a Local Issue
This debate is not limited to the United States. It is taking place wherever the Internet has taken root. The most well-known controversy might be the one involving Yahoo in China, where the Internet giant has helped the government track down dissident bloggers.
In England, law enforcement is trying for the first time to apply a section of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, which forces people to participate in their own prosecution by handing over passwords to encrypted files on their own computer. The Crown Protective Service is apparently trying to use the act's mere existence to intimidate an animal rights activist into handing over her encryption key. In this scenario, simply possessing private, encrypted files becomes a crime or a cause for suspicion from law enforcement. (For more on the European Union's new data collection measures and the uproar they have caused, especially in Germany, see this previous column).
In London, Bloomberg's inspiration for his congestion pricing plan, the system tracks the license plates of all cars entering and exiting the congestion zone. This has provided a foundation for a proposed "24-7 vehicle movement database" that would enable police to track all vehicle movement throughout the country – 50 million trip a day, reportedly – and store the records for two years. In response to these concerns, some have suggested ways to charge congestion pricing fees without tracking specific movements.
The recent strike by some New York City taxi drivers was over a related issue. The Taxi and Limousine Commission wants all cabs to install tracking devices in cabs that would tell the commission where the cars are at all times, regardless of whether the driver has a fare or is on personal time.
Whether it's the city government checking to see where a taxi driver is or the federal government reading your e-mail, the debate in both cases highlights the importance of preserving basic rights and protections in the face of potentially invasive technology. As we take advantage of new technologies and move more of our private documents and communications online, we need to strengthen our privacy protections, not weaken them.

With the recent news that Assassin's Creed: Lost Legacy for the 3DS has been scrapped, we were left wondering if the Wii U instalment of the popular stealth, action series might follow the same route.
In an interview with Swedish website Aftonbladet (as translated by the Swedish branch of Eurogamer), Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot remained tight-lipped on specific Assassin's Creed Wii U details but did confirm that the Wii U game is still on its way:
Our next edition of Assassin's [Creed] will be in a Wii U version...
When asked if that meant Assassin's Creed: Revelations ― scheduled to be released on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC later this year ― Guillemot's response was:
No, not Revelations. For the future.
And that's about all the boss at Ubisoft was prepared to say on the matter. When asked whether "for the future" meant Assassin's Creed III, Guillemot refused to say.
Which would you prefer? A unique Wii U version that's a spin-off from the main series, or would you hope that the release of Assassin's Creed III will also make it to Nintendo's next home console?

Nintendo Promises 2 New Mario Games and Zelda: Wind Waker Remake for Wii U
Nintendo announced that two new Mario games and a remake of "The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker" are currently in the works for the Wii U console.
The company's president Satoru Iwata recently issued an apology to Nintendo fans for the slow roll out of games for the Wii U and promised some new exciting titles for the future.
"Based on our software development schedules at the end of last year, we concluded we should spend a little more time to satisfy our Nintendo standard of quality," he said. "I apologize to those supporting Wii U about the lack of new titles from Nintendo in January and February but please understand we will have new titles to offer from March onward."
Along with the two new Mario games, Iwata stated that Nintendo is working on a new Zelda game and a new Yoshi game as well as the follow up to Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Nintendo hopes to boost the interest in the Wii U by announcing these new games. The console has only sold 890,000 units since its launch in October. The company feels its slow movement can be attributed to the lack of new games rolling out. Nintendo also delayed some of the most highly anticipated titles including "Game & Wario," "The Wonderful 101." Wii Fit U," and "Pikmin 3."
"There will be no new titles released for Wii U from Nintendo in January or February," Iwata said Wednesday morning. "Nintendo takes seriously its responsibility to offer a steady stream of new titles in the very early days of a new platform to establish a good lineup of software. On the other hand, we also firmly believe we have to offer quality experiences when we release new titles."

Dr. Paul H. Crandall, a UCLA neurosurgeon who pioneered now widely used techniques for diagnosing the source of epileptic seizures in the brain and removing the offending cells, died March 15 from complications of pneumonia at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center. He was 89.
Crandall, who founded the UCLA Department of Neurosurgery, "was the father of UCLA's epilepsy program," Dr. Neil Martin, the current chairman of neurosurgery at UCLA's Geffen School of Medicine, said in a statement. "His clinical work laid the foundation for our current strategies to treat epileptic seizures, and his scientific research informs neurosurgeons' treatment of epilepsy today."
Epilepsy can be treated with drugs in about 60% of cases. Surgeons have been attempting to cure other seizures with brain surgery since at least the late 19th century, but doctors often removed massive amounts of tissue without having any understanding of where in the brain the seizures were actually originating.
Researchers in France had attempted to implant electrodes in the brain to record brain activity during seizures, but the electrodes were left in only during the operation itself and provided only minimal information.
Crandall and Dr. Richard Walter, then head of neurology at UCLA, perfected the ability to implant electrodes in the brains of epileptic patients and leave them for extended periods. Beginning in the early 1960s, patients were brought into the laboratory each day and hooked up to an EEG machine that recorded electrical impulses on paper strips, producing mounds of paper. But the researchers failed to capture any seizures.
Crandall happened to be watching one of NASA's early Gemini orbital missions on television when he heard mission control announce the astronaut's heart rate. Intrigued, he called NASA and asked how they did it. He was told that the agency used a newly opened FM radio band, putting several channels of information on an FM frequency that was then beamed back to Earth. He immediately asked for one of the devices.
After nearly two years of negotiations, NASA sent him an FM telemetry device, which allowed him to hook up a patient's brain electrodes to a small transmitter. The signal was then recorded on a reel-to-reel tape recorder, allowing 24-hour monitoring. Crandall captured his first seizure in 1968. Later, the team added video recording to correlate patient behavior with brain activity.
By embedding the electrodes at the same sites in every patient, Crandall's team was able to gradually focus on groups of cells where abnormal activity was occurring, allowing removal of the cells and mitigating seizures. And by removing clumps of cells intact, researchers were able to study in the laboratory how interactions of the cells produced seizures.
His team developed the protocol and the nomenclature that is still used by neurosurgeons to treat epilepsy: Phase 1, a normal EEG with surface electrodes to diagnose epilepsy; Phase 2, use of implanted electrodes to localize affected cells; and Phase 3, surgical removal of the cells.
"His contribution is not just what he found, but also the approach of how to go about doing this," said Dr. Gary Mathern, a UCLA professor of neurosurgery.
Paul Herbert Crandall was born Feb. 15, 1923, in Essex Junction, Vt., the youngest of seven children. He received his bachelor's degree from the University of Vermont in 1943, then joined the U.S. Army, where he was chosen to attend medical school, receiving his medical degree from Vermont in 1946. After a residency at the University of Chicago, he rejoined the Army Medical Corps in 1952, serving two years as chief of neurosurgery at a military hospital in Frankfurt, Germany.
In 1954, he arrived at UCLA, where he was one of three founding members of the neurosurgery division, which was upgraded to a department in 2008. He retired in 1988 but continued his research.
Crandall served on the U.S. Department of Health's National Commission for Epilepsy from 1976 to 1977. Because his work had demonstrated the value of long-term monitoring of seizures and of his procedures for managing difficult cases, the commission recommended the establishment of specialized epilepsy centers in major urban areas, a recommendation that was subsequently implemented.
His work also helped extend surgery to children for controlling seizures.
In 1977, Crandall performed surgery on 18-year-old Alfonsina "Nina" Davies whose parents had searched futilely for a cure for her severe epilepsy. The surgery halted the seizures and Nina completed college, earning a doctoral degree in education and becoming an assistant superintendent for the Santa Ana Unified School District. Unfortunately, she died in 2011 of a condition known as sudden unexplained death in epilepsy, a rare outcome of the disease.
In October 2011, her parents, Thomas and Nadia Davies, donated $2 million to UCLA for epilepsy research, endowing a chair in Crandall's honor.
Crandall is survived by his wife, Barbara, a UCLA professor emeritus of pediatrics and genetics; four children; and three grandchildren.

Most of our existing journals deal almost exclusively with subjects beyond the reach of the average student or teacher of mathematics or at least with subjects with which they are familiar, and little, if any, space, is devoted to the solution of problems ... No pains will be spared on the part of the Editors to make this the most interesting and most popular journal published in America.As this quote shows, Finkel wanted to publish a journal which would appeal to school teachers. He did not succeed in this aim, for few teachers read the early issues of the American Mathematical Monthly. He did, however, produce a publication which was greatly enjoyed by university teachers of mathematics.
Support from universities was going to be crucial to the success of the venture and Finkel had made sure that from the very beginning he had the support of leading university teachers such as Eliakim Moore. Herbert E Slaught who edited the Monthly from 1913 to 1916 approached the American Mathematical Society asking if it would take over support for the Monthly. The Council of the American Mathematical Society rejected the request at a meeting in April 1915. However they essentially proposed the creation of the Mathematical Association of America in their response:-
It is deemed unwise for the American Mathematical Society to enter into the activities of the special field now covered by the American Mathematical Monthly; but the Council desires to express its realization of the importance of the work in this field and its value to mathematical science, and to say that should an organization be formed to deal specifically with this work, the Society would entertain toward such an organization only feelings of hearty good will and encouragement.H E Slaught reacted quickly, sending out a large number of requests for a response from anyone interested in forming a new Society to support publication of the Monthly. He received 450 positive responses, and on 30-31 December 1915 Earl R Hedrick chaired a founding meeting of 104 people. Hedrick was elected president, Huntington was elected vice president, and Council consisting of 12 members was appointed.
The task of choosing a name for the new society proved remarkably uncontroversial. Three committees were set up to each make recommendation and each proposed the name Mathematical Association of America. Straley writes in [1]:-
In those early days the structure of the Mathematical Association of America was more of a club. Its main function was the publication of the Monthly. There was one standing committee, the Committee on Sections. It is still the only committee mandated by our bylaws. The Mathematical Association of America has grown considerably in a little less than one hundred years to a complex organization. ...Today, Benjamin Finkel's dream has substantially come true, the American Mathematical Monthly is the most widely read mathematics journal in the world.

Before we get into how to sew with these fabrics, let's answer the question: What's the difference between water resistant and water proof?
Water resistant fabrics are either tightly woven and naturally resist water, or are coated with a finish that causes water to bead on the fabric surface rather than soaking into it. Water resistant fabrics are good for a light rain, but could become soaked in a downpour.
Water proof fabrics cannot be penetrated by water and should keep you dry even in heavy downpours. Water proof fabrics tend to have a rubbery feel and are less breathable than water resistant fabrics.
How a fabric is made water resistant:
To make a fabric water resistant, it is sprayed or immersed in a synthetic resin, oil or wax. This technique allows the fabric to keep some of its natural characteristics. However, water repellent coatings are not permanent and can start to wear off after time. Multiple washings can also make the coating come off quicker.
How a fabric is made water proof:
To water proof a fabric, it is coated with a plastic or synthetic resin and then vulcanized, or essentially baked. This causes the fabric to loose its porosity and lightness and the fabric can be susceptible to cracking. Water proofing a fabric is permanent.
Downsides to both fabrics:
Coated fabrics tend to stick to the bottom of presser feet
Prone to puckered seams
Can be easily damaged by pins, machine needles and hot irons
Benefits to both fabrics:
Resist tearing and snagging
Don't need to be pre-shrunk
Interfacing is rarely needed
Tips for sewing with both fabrics:
Use weights or clips to hold the material while cutting and sewing. Pins will leave holes in your project that could allow for the fabric to leak.
Use a sharp needle in the smallest size possible that is able to stitch the fabric without skipping. The bigger the needle, the bigger the hole, which could again make your fabric leak.
Use a polyester thread; it will be as mildew resistant as the project you are sewing.
Finish seams with seam sealant. This well help make sure the fabric doesn't leak.
If you're extra spill prone when working in the kitchen, make an apron from water resistant fabric. Basic apron pattern.
Have you ever sewn with these fabrics? What did you make? Did it stay water proof or water resistant?

Due to continued interference with the GPS spectrum, Lightsquared's LTE network likely won't be approved by the FCC any time soon. That's bad news for Lightsquared but even worse for Sprint.
Last year, Lightsquared paid Sprint $65 million as part of a proposed 15-year infrastructure development and spectrum-sharing deal. As part of that agreement, Sprint is required to return the money if the LTE network doesn't receive FCC approval by mid-March. However, the FCC appears to have just dealt the network a deathblow.
According to FCC spokesman Tammy Sun today, "NTIA, the federal agency that coordinates spectrum uses for the military and other federal government entities, has now concluded that there is no practical way to mitigate potential interference at this time. Consequently, the Commission will not lift the prohibition on LightSquared."
So, unless Lightsquared can somehow convince the FCC to reverse its decision or prove that the Commission's GPS interference study is flawed within the next month, the proposed nationwide mobile broadband network is kaput and Sprint will be $65 million poorer. [FCC via WSJ via The Verge]

US President Barack Obama poked fun at himself, his political opponents and the news media at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday, an annual event where the US leader takes good-natured jabs at his adversaries.
Obama joked about how his re-election would give him the chance to carry out a radical agenda. However, he had aged in the job.
"These days I look in the mirror and have to admit, I'm not the strapping young Muslim Socialist that I used to be," he said, mocking that belief among a radical conservative fringe of Americans.
He then showed a montage of pictures showing him in a haircut with bangs like his wife, Michelle, had on his inauguration day.
Some of the targets of Obama's jokes included billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who spent a fortune backing failed Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and other Republican candidates in last year's race; the three major cable news networks; and several Republican members of the US Congress.
Obama ended on a serious note, praising the role of the media, as well as the first responders at the Boston marathon bombings and the deadly Texas fertilizer explosion.
The annual dinner, where about 3,000 guests chow down in a massive hotel ballroom, is greeted with near hysteria in Washington, normally a strait-laced town where celebrity is calculated in degrees of political power rather than pulling power at the box office.
In recent years, the dinner has been transformed from an event where journalists and their editors and corporate bosses broke bread with government officials into a full bore celebrity party.
A long list of before and after parties sponsored by media giants, such as Bloomberg and MSNBC, vie to attract the biggest names, and big television and Web outlets stack their tables with celebrities.
Among stars sighted were South Korean rapper Psy, singer Barbra Streisand, Hollywood actors Bradley Cooper, Michael J. Fox, Kevin Spacey and Michael Douglas, and movie directors Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.
The featured comedian at the event was Conan O'Brien, who ended his presentation with a montage of photographs that included cartoon characters of who would play top Washington personalities if a movie were ever made.
For the first time, celebrity cable news network E! was covering the Oscars-style red carpet entrance to the party at the Washington Hilton hotel live as the stars rolled up.
However, the Hollywood-meets-Washington power clutch is now fueling a backlash from several who believe that the spectacle of the fourth estate partying with Hollywood elite and top power players is an unflattering one.
Famed NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw caused a stir last year when he hit out against the growing glitziness of the dinner and declined his invitation this year.
"The breaking point for me was Lindsay Lohan," Brokaw told political news Web site Politico. "She became a big star at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Give me a break."
This year's White House Correspondents Association president Ed Henry of Fox News has taken steps to try to damp down the Hollywood influence, reserving tables for news organizations that cover the White House, and cutting back on firms which rarely do so.
Henry also points out that the dinner raises tens of thousands of dollars to provide journalism scholarships for needy students.

The Obelisk Radio Add of the Week: The Gates of Slumber, Stormcrow EP
Rife with unfuckwithable plod and thickened miseries, The Gates of Slumber this week unleashed five new tracks as a Scion A/V Metal-sponsored EP called Stormcrow. The collection, produced by Sanford Parker, feels even more weighted in the low end than did their last album, 2011's excellent The Wretch (review here), and the Indianapolis-based trio have kept the ultra-despondent vibe of that record alive while expanding the scope a bit musically, crushing as much with tone as with emotionality.
"Death March" and "Dragon Caravan" retain the memorability of The Wretch, not so much relying on hooks to grab the listener's attention as leaving an indent behind when they're done. The louder the material on Stormcrow gets, the deeper that indent goes, but nothing The Gates of Slumber does feels excessive or wanting for authenticity. They have become the forerunners of classic American doom over the last several years, and while it's easy to read Stormcrow as a victory lap, it's also a next step in their ongoing development.
Even if the ultra-Vitusisms of The Wretch left you wanting (which, if you heard them, they likely didn't), guitarist/vocalist Karl Simon, bassist Jason McCash and drummer "Iron" Bob Fouts do the hard work here of making them more their own, closer "Of that Which Can Never Be" reminding of some of Paul Chain's desolation as filtered through Orodruin's last demo. Scion A/V Metal has made the EP available as a free download, which you can find at the link below, and the five tracks have also been added to The Obelisk Radio as of today. Doom on.

Analysis with binary predictor
Mplus Discussion
Categorical Data Modeling
Maša Vidmar
posted on Monday, December 26, 2011 - 6:24 am
I have SEM model with four dependent latent variables (at two time points) and gender as predictor. I am not sure how to run the analysis and interpret the results.
My syntax:
beh1 by x1 x2 x3 x4
beh2 by x1_2 x2_2 x3_2 x4_2
ach1 by z1 z2 z3
ach2 by z1_2 z2_2 z3_2
ach2 on ach1 beh1;
beh2 on beh1 ach1;
beh1 on gender;
ach1 on gender;
My questions:
1. Is it ok to use ml as estimator? Should I be using some other method?
2. Should I be looking at the STDY and not STDYX part of the output(it makes no sense to standardize gender, right?)?
3. How to interpret coefficients? In my case, path from gender to behavior is n.s., path from gender to achievement is sig. and negative. Is interpretation the same as in regression; when gender is changed for one unit (ie. from 1-female to 2-male) achievement is lower for .15 points? Should this value .15 point be taken from the nonstandardized or standardized part of the output?
Another questions, ona a different note. In a similar model to the one above, I would like to use predictor that is not categorical, but can take only three (ordinal) values (years is preschool: 0, 3 or 5). Should I treat it as categorical and create dummy variables? Or do I enter it in the model as if it was interval? I am worried about the interpretation in both cases.

1. Yes.
2. Use StdY. See the STANDARDIZED option in the user's guide for further information.
3. The interpretation is the same as for regular regression.
An ordered categorical predictor can be treated as continuous or turned into a set of dummy variables.

I have the problem that the result file in version 7 only gives StdXY and Std, but not StdY. What should I use for the binary predictors?

posted on Monday, November 26, 2012 - 6:33 am
Create StdY by dividing StdYX by the standard deviation of x.

Hundreds more UK bank workers are expected to lose their jobs after US giant Citigroup announced plans to cut 11,000 jobs worldwide.
Citi, which employs 9,400 staff in Britain, said the majority of jobs will go at its institutional clients group and global consumer banking divisions.
The job losses are the latest in a spate of redundancies in the financial sector as it battles against the weak economy and increasing regulation.
Royal Bank of Scotland, Lloyds Banking Group and HSBC have all announced job cuts this year.
Citi declined to give a specific figure for UK job losses but it is thought to be in the hundreds.
America's third largest bank said the decision will save £560m (€689.35m) next year and £680m (€837.06m) per year from 2014.
But the move will trigger pre-tax charges of around £620m (€763.20m) in the fourth quarter of 2012 and around £62m (€76.32m) in the first half of 2013.
Michael Corbat, who succeeded Vikram Pandit as Citi's chief executive in October, said: "These actions are logical next steps in Citi's transformation."
The company said that about 25% of the charges for the fourth quarter related to its securities and banking division, with another 10% in transaction services.
Another third would come from reductions in its global consumer banking division, where 6,200 positions would be cut.
The banking group said it would be selling or scaling back consumer operations in Pakistan, Paraguay, Romania, Turkey and Uruguay, while Brazil, Hong Kong, Hungary, South Korea and the US will also be hit.
Citi said it intends to focus on the 150 cities that have the highest growth potential in consumer banking and would be left with more than 4,000 retail branches around the world after the changes take place.

Four men carjacked a 22-year-old student athlete from Belhaven University with the intention of raping her Wednesday night. None of them could operate a manual transmission so they made her drive. She intentionally crashed her car, probably saving her life.
Click to viewIf you're in the Jackson, Mississippi area, here's some video of the assailants, who fled the crash with the unidentified woman's purse. Though this is an example of the benefits of knowing how to drive a stick, it's also just a good reminder of the benefits of situational awareness and knowing the proper odds in defending yourself from an attack.

A Wisconsin church has recently begun holding biweekly church "adults only" services, in part as a way to allow convicted sex offenders to worship.
First Congregational United Church of Christ of Madison began holding the services earlier this year on every other Thursday evening, a time in which no children would be at their facilities.
The Rev. Jerry Hancock, director of First Congregational's prison ministry, told The Christian Post that the idea for the service came through their efforts at witnessing to prisoners in general.
"First Congregational United Church of Christ in Madison Wisconsin operates an active prison ministry," said Hancock.
"Through our work with prisoners we realized that there might be a need for a service of this kind because many sex offenders cannot for legal reason or should not for therapeutic reasons attend worship service when children are present."
The service is also for the benefit of those who would prefer to worship without children present. Since being implemented, the service has only garnered those who desire a child-free worship experience rather than recovering sex offenders.
"We have had 10 to 12 church members attend the first two sessions which began on Feb. 23. No one in our target audience has attended," said Hancock.
"This may be because it just takes time for word to spread. It may also be that the people we would like to serve have had very bad personal experiences with organized religion. Coming to church is an act of courage for them."
Pat Nolan, vice president of Prison Fellowship Ministries, told CP that he approved of the "adults only" service concept from First Congregational, considering it "very creative."
"This church is reaching out and having services because that is a problem-solving approach which is very good," said Nolan.
"Many sex offenders I've talked to miss corporate worship and so if this were in their community and they heard about it they would be there."
Nolan also said that he approved the effort in part because convicted sex offenders are often treated the worst both in and out of prison, even though the term "sex offender" covers a broad range of offensives like streaking and urinating in public.
"In prison there is a pecking order in which sex offenders are the lowest and basically they're fair game for any violence or depredation," he noted.
"The suicide rate of sex offenders is very high inside prisons because of the way that they are preyed upon."
According to Hancock, the Thursday services will have the same scriptural text, order of worship, and sermon topic as the regular Sunday morning services.

Today, the Orlando Magic will work out a group that includes UCF power forward Keith Clanton, Florida power forward Erik Murphy and Florida State guard Michael Snaer, a team official said.
The team also will work out Florida guard Kenny Boynton, and likely other prospects, on Thursday.
The Magic hold the second and 51st overall picks in the draft, which will be held on June 27. The website DraftExpress ranks Murphy as the No. 53 prospect for the upcoming draft and Snaer as the No. 64 prospect.
Magic officials have hoped to work out up to several dozen prospects at separate points in Orlando before the draft.
The Magic want to gain as much information as possible about as many players as possible -- through interviews, through workouts and through physical testing/measurements.
The information collected would remain with the team well beyond the draft and would inform the team's thinking for future decisions about free-agent signings and trades.
For example, the Oklahoma City Thunder, including then-Thunder assistant general manager Rob Hennigan, met with Tobias Harris prior to the 2011 draft.
The Charlotte Bobcats wound up selecting Harris with the 19th overall pick, then traded his draft rights to the Milwaukee Bucks.
But Hennigan, now the Magic's GM, used his background knowledge about Harris as last season's NBA trade deadline approached. Hennigan ultimately traded J.J. Redick, Gustavo Ayón and Ish Smith for Harris, Doron Lamb and Beno Udrih.
The Magic hosted Kentucky center Nerlens Noel and Michigan point guard Trey Burke in recent days. The team reportedly also has worked out Indiana shooting guard Victor Oladipo.
A source told the Orlando Sentinel that Kansas shooting guard Ben McLemore likely will visit the Magic on June 11.

Preventing online Fraud
gulflive.com and its affiliate(s) Mississippi Press, Press Register, Birmingham News, Huntsville Times DO NOT perform any of the following services in connection with advertiser offers:
- Collect funds from/for the buyer or the seller
- Hold funds from/for the buyer or the seller
- Guarantee funds from/for the buyer or the seller
- Store merchandise from/for the buyer or the seller
- Ship merchandise from/for the buyer or the seller
If anyone that you contact regarding merchandise, vehicles, housing or employment indicates that gulflive.com and its affiliate(s) Mississippi Press, Press Register, Birmingham News, Huntsville Times in any way insures or endorses the transaction - this is FALSE.
(Please read our User Agreement here)
Be wary about inquiries from anyone outside our local area. Placing classified ads online with gulflive.com and and its affiliate(s) Mississippi Press, Press Register, Birmingham News, Huntsville Times is a fun and cost effective way for your message to reach a broad audience within our local area. Most of our readers have great experiences using our online classifieds. However, there are Internet scams and frauds that you should be aware of, and many of them involve 'offers' from people outside our local area. This doesn't mean that all such offers are fraudulent - just be careful.
Common types of Internet fraud
Overpayment Scam. In this very common scenario, a scammer/buyer will contact a seller and negotiate a deal on merchandise. Many times, this buyer is located outside of the United States, and poses as a "broker" or a "third party" on behalf of another interested party. The buyer will send a cashier's check (or money order) for more than the asking price of the merchandise. The buyer will instruct the seller to send the difference for the overpayment. Unfortunately, the cashier's check or money order used to originally pay the buyer is counterfeit and will be returned to the seller with insufficient funds. The seller is then cheated out of his or her own cash, plus any merchandise that was sent.
Too good to be true? Products that are priced way too low should raise a red flag. For instance, if a motorcycle is stated to be in "excellent" condition and yet is priced thousands below book value, you should proceed with caution. While not all bargains are scams, you may see clues when you contact the seller. Be wary of sellers from out of state / country; incorrect phone numbers or the inability to reach the seller via phone or physical address; and special situations such as the seller needing money quickly. To protect yourself, ask specific questions about authenticity, serial numbers, etc. Do your part to protect yourself - if you feel like a deal is too good to be true, it usually is.
Work-at-home scams. Be very skeptical of any "company" that advertises a work-at-home opportunity and requires advance payment or deposits on items or services. Be skeptical of earnings claims that sound too good to be true. Ask detailed questions about what exactly you will have to do to earn money with the program; i.e., who will pay you, will you be paid on commission, etc.
Wire fraud. In this scenario, the scammer/buyer will request permission to wire-transfer money directly into the seller's bank account. By providing confidential bank account information to the buyer, your account may be compromised. Always use caution when providing any form of personal information.
Customs scams. There are recent reports from the IFCC involving Eastern European countries and high incidences of fraud. Many of the fraudulent buyers of items are located in these countries and often ask that the seller ship in a manner that will avoid customs or taxes. Sellers should be wary of this type of behavior.
Message Relay Application Scams. Some scammers will use VOIP applications like Skype and other message relay applications to call the advertiser to get them to send emails with information that can be used to steal identity. Sellers should only accept live calls from local shoppers and never accept indirect request for information or anonymous phone calls. With these forms of abuse, you may wish to report this to your cellphone carrier and ask that the specific phone number used by the relay app source be blocked due to an attempted scam. Some cellphone carriers can set this up as an available option for users where specific phone numbers can be blocked.
Who should I notify about fraud?
- FTC toll free hotline: 877-FTC-HELP (877-382-4357)
- FTC online complaint form (www.ftc.gov)

Below is a sampling of fraudulent letters circulating on the Internet. This is a non-inclusive list that is meant to give you a sampling of the types of fraudulent letters criminals are using. (Spelling and grammatical errors are included in the examples below, as they are often found in fraudulent letters.)
Example #1:
Thanks for your mail back concerning the inquiry mail i sent to you. The price,condition also the pics i viewed is okay by me. And my client confirm there is no problem about the price($975 ) ,my client do pays with a {USA}cashier check,he has agreed to mail out as bank cashiers check of $3500. to you on my behalf to cover the shippment fees.About the shippment, that we be taken care by my me & my personal assistant,my personal assistant will be using his shipper to do the quick processing of the shipping of the(1987 Toyota Celica) to my client. So all you are to do after you will received the check in your mail, Just take out your sale amount and refer the remaining money to my shipper immediately through the westernunion or the money gramm outlet so to get the money fast and start the fast arrangement for the pickup of the (1987 Toyota Celica).Since you are the original owner of this item,and i am buying the item directly from you i will like you to write your full name to be on the check,with the mailing address which my client will be using to issued out the check to you.I do wish to trust you by refering the rest balance back to my shipper and also your fast doing to this transaction. I will like to hear fromyou if this is okay by you and you are ready to process,if you aready to sale your item and promise refering the rest balance to my shipper immediately you received the check so can start the quick arrangement for the pickup. Any body that want to buy this item this item just tell therm that it as been sold. I will like to copmplete this transaction befor the new year. I be at my computer waiting to see your epky to my payment method mailed. THANKS AND MAIL ME BACK WITH YOUR DETAIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Example #2:
Thanks for getting back to me, i will be purchasing the motorbike Like i said earlier i am based in the netherlands(holland). there won't be any probs about the shipment,after payment ,the pick up will be made at your place. i have made arrangements with the prepaid shipping company. As regards payment,this is what i am going to do;I have a client in ENGLAND who is owing me 5800POUNDS i would instruct him to make out a money order/certifiedcheck to you in that amount and as soon as it clears your bank. you can now deduct your money from it and send me my balance,i will using use part of the money to pay for the shipping and other expenses .you will then send my balance by via western union money transfer.Although the value of the check is more than the asking price but i think i should be able to trust you with my balance. The reason why i am doing this is that it would take a check sent from over here in HOLLAND 21days to clearover there,whereas a check sent from the US would clear tops within 48hrs. So i would like you to deduct the western union charges from my balance.So if my terms are acceptableto you,i would like you to give me your fullname,address and phone number so that i can instruct my client to make out the check to you. Pls get back to me as soon as you get this mail so that we can round things up in a timely fashion..i willbe trusting in this business transaction.

From Seattle's perspective, I tried to look for value. Draft order was determined by current win/loss records and opponents strength of schedule. To see the order in full, click here. This put the Seahawks at #20 overall. It's not taken a huge dose of creativity to make the choice below, but I feel like this was a good match of prospective need and talent.
All thoughts welcome.

Frank de la Teja to speak at Walter Eugene George symposium
Posted by Jayme Blaschke
University News Service
January 28, 2014
Frank de la Teja
Frank de la Teja, Jerome H. and Catherine E. Supple Professor of Southwestern Studies at Texas State University, will be a featured speaker during a symposium on the legacy of artist and photographer Walter Eugene George Feb. 6 at the Institute of Texan Cultures in San Antonio.
The symposium, which is free and open to the public, will discuss the importance of a wide range of historic resources in the borderlands to the state of Texas, including the impact of George's work.
The symposium is part of the "Walter Eugene George and the Cultural Legacy of the Rio Grande" exhibit open Feb. 1-28 at the Institute of Texan Cultures. The exhibit showcases 12 photos, a large hand-drawn map and a selection of Historic American Buildings Survey sketches from George's collection.
At the Feb. 6 symposium, scholars and students will lend their perspectives on Eugene George's work. In addition to de la Teja, participants include Mario Sanchez, Texas Department of Transportation; Steve Tillotson, AIA, Munoz and Company; and University of Texas at San Antonio professors Richard Tangum, Maggie Valentine and Bill Dupont, FAIA. The symposium will conclude with a panel discussion, moderated by Gil Gonzalez, director of the Rural Business Program in the UTSA Institute for Economic Development.
Maggie Valentine, the exhibit curator, selected the specific areas of emphasis for the exhibit, including San Antonio, Roma, Rio Grande City, Cuevitas, and the Viejo Guerrero ghost town in Tamaulipas, Mexico. Viejo Guerrero was lost when the Falcón Dam was built in the 1950s. George reconstructed a map of the city before its inundation, and returned to the site in 1983 and in 1995 when drought conditions exposed the ruins. A selection of the Viejo Guerrero drawings is featured.
For more information on the free Feb. 6 symposium, and to register, call the UTSA College of Architecture at (210) 458-3137. Check-in on Feb. 6 begins at 8:30 a.m. Symposium guests will enjoy free admission to the Walter Eugene George exhibit. For additional information, visit TexanCultures.com.
