Who hasn't fantasized about marrying a rock star (or any other type of celebrity)? Well, if you're amongst the first to not harbor such a fantasy, you might still enjoy reading Nicky Well's debut novel, "Sophie's Turn."
Sophie Penhalligan has quite the dilemma on her hands. Her relationship with her steady boyfriend, Tim, feels like it is going nowhere. Then she becomes reunited with her favorite rock band and the rock star she has fantasized about since her youth and spent one evening with ten years prior. Suddenly, she has two men (with completely different lifestyles) courting her. What's a girl to do?!?
When I was younger, I read these Sunfire Romance novels which took place in different periods of history and always had the heroine choosing between two (sometimes very different) men. In a way, "Sophie's Turn" brought me back to those novels. She's caught in a place where she doesn't want to break hearts but feels forced to by making a decision one way or another. Sophie is put in the position of ping-ponging between her reliable relationship and the exciting life of dating a rock star (albeit one she has always wanted to be with). Ms. Wells gives her characters a lot of personality and depth, making the story interesting and suspenseful. Sophie thinks she's going to make one choice and then something comes along to surprise her and takes the reader along for the ride. I enjoyed her descriptions of places and detailing of events. There was also quite a bit of humor, although more subtle at times. The best example of humor was detailed in a language barrier between the UK and the US.
Throughout the story, I was becoming frustrated with Sophie's lack of morals and her weak behaviors. I don't know if Ms. Wells has ever been in Sophie's shoes, but I don't know a lot of women who have either. I kept thinking, "Sophie, some women would kill to have two men vying for their attention. Shall I play you a tiny violin for your troubles?" I just had a lack of sympathy for her and felt she was handling things immaturely. (Like saying it's okay to cheat on someone if you're in a different country. Is that the same as saying that a crumbled up cookie has less calories?) I also felt her friend Rachel was overly supportive of Sophie's immoral behaviors. However, I was following Sophie's life the way I'd follow that of my own best friends' lives, even though I couldn't really shout at her to tell her to do the right thing. I was proud of her when she finally made a decision and acted like a grown-up, even though she wasn't sure it was the right decision at the time. Aside from those issues, there were some spelling and grammar errors that were missed during any editing and proofreading sessions Ms. Wells may have had.
Overall, "Sophie's Turn" is a well-developed first effort for Ms. Wells. I could tell that she put a lot of thought and hard work into the story and it made for a compelling read. I wouldn't have minded more "spice" during the romantic scenes, but there was a nice level of "sexiness" during those parts to keep me entertained. I probably would have read it more quickly if it were available in paperback, as I don't read on my PC as often as I read print novels. If you are looking for an entertaining chick lit novel, then you've come to the right place with this one.

More Details Emerge About Fatal I-44 School Bus Crash
While the cause of the fatal Missouri school bus crash on Interstate 44 near Gray Summit is still being investigating, some more details are beginning to emerge, including the names of the two that were killed.
The female student who was killed was Jessica Brinker, 15, and the other death was Daniel Schatz, 19, who was driving the GMC pickup that was also involved in the fatal car crash. Brinker was a member of the John F. Hodge High School band, which was on its way to Six Flags and split up between the two buses involved in the wreck. Schatz was a reserve quarterback for the University of Missouri football team and son of Dave Schatz, a Republican candidate for the Missouri House of Representatives.
In addition to the two deaths, there were more than 50 injuries. Several of the injures were considered serious, but fortunately, most were able to escape the crash with relatively minor scrapes and bruises.
Again, the full investigation is still weeks away from being completed, but local media reports have begun to piece together some of the events leading up to the crash. The two buses were following behind Schatz's pickup and a Volvo truck tractor. The driver of the truck tractor began to slow down for construction related traffic when Schatz crashed into the back of the truck, which was without a trailer. Moments later, the first school bus crashed into the back of the pickup and came to a rest on top of the first two vehicles. The second bus then collided with the rear of the first.
The National Transportation Safety Board has sent a team of 15 people to assist in the investigation, according to the St. Louis Post Dispatch. An accident reconstruction will be performed to determine the exact cause of the crash. Representatives from the NTSB told the Post Dispatch they are particularly interested in this incident because they are looking for ways to improve school bus and construction zone safety, as well as determining whether crash-sensing devices on larger vehicles could prevent future school bus and tractor trailer crashes.
The NTSB will not make any statements regarding fault or liability and are requesting that any witnesses to the crash contact the Missouri State Highway Patrol or the NTSB directly. Coming forward as a witness takes a lot of courage and many people would choose not to involve themselves in the situation. It is important, though, that investigators get all the facts about this St. Louis school bus crash so they can determine who was at fault. More than simply getting to the bottom of this incident, the NTSB will be able to use information gathered about this crash to help stop future crashes.
If you feel uncomfortable speaking directly to authorities, you can also email me with any information concerning the St. James bus accident and I will forward it to the appropriate officials.

Quantum Storey Introduces AR/VR VR Books at CES
The Quantum Storey Company, publisher of the World's First VR Book series, Operation YOU®, today announced its participation at Pepcom's Digital Experience! to be held on Monday, January 8 at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas. During the three-hour media event, members of the press can experience the self-directed action of this next generation of storytelling through the Operation YOU book series and the wonders of AR and VR. Operation YOU launched exclusively at all Walmart stores nationwide just before the holidays.
Quantum Storey's Operation YOU books combine traditional print with AR and VR to drive immersive reader engagement, drawing young readers into stories in ways completely intuitive to them. Please see No Shelf Required.
Blending "old school" books with new AR and VR technology, Quantum Storey's new category of Virtual Reality Books revitalizes the publishing industry, and turbo charges the nascent augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) content markets.
The Operation YOU series is written in the first person and supported by augmented and virtual reality, making it the perfect medium for readers to emotionally connect with the characters and storylines in an impactful way. The first Operation YOU title, "Morning Nightmare," depicts the pitfalls and pressures experienced by children boarding the school bus.
"We are delighted to have the opportunity to showcase this next generation experience and consumer technology to members of the press at Pepcom," says J.M. Haines, founder and CEO of The Quantum Storey Company and author of the Operation YOU series. "Virtual Reality Books are transformative and unlike anything the publishing industry has seen before. As consumer habits continue to evolve, so too does the demand for something revolutionary and out of the box, and we are proud and excited to be able to deliver it with Operation YOU."
As middle readers turn the pages of the printed book, Ray, a major character in the series, invites them to download the free app, and use the included VR goggles to "Take the Quantum Leap™" and transport INSIDE the story. Once in the book, readers experience what happens in the first person, as the primary character is YOU, the reader. Dodge a snowball, will yourself to get on the school bus and find a seat, seek out courage as you learn to build trust – all through the wonders of VR.
Each Operation YOU title enables the reader to build and strengthen essential skills in a safe virtual world, so they will be more prepared to make life decisions under the demands and social pressures of the real world.
Why Just Read a Book, When You Can Step Inside!™

Q: Confidence interval for Roc curve in R I have created the code for displaying a confidence interval for the ROC curve for both Logistic and Random Forest. But I would like to have 1- specificity in the x-axis instead of specificity.
The code is
roc.list <- roc(test_df$extry ~ Logistic_Regression+Random_Forest)
ci.list <- lapply(roc.list, ci.se, specificities = seq(0, 1, l = 10))

dat.ci.list <- lapply(ci.list, function(ciobj)
  data.frame(x = as.numeric(rownames(ciobj)),
             lower = ciobj[, 1],
             upper = ciobj[, 3]))

p <- ggroc(roc.list,legacy.axes=TRUE) + theme_minimal() + geom_abline(slope=1, intercept = 1, linetype = "dashed", alpha=0.7, color = "grey") + coord_equal()

for(i in 1:3) {
  p <- p + geom_ribbon(
    data = dat.ci.list[[i]],
    aes(x = x, ymin = lower, ymax = upper),
    fill = i + 1,
    alpha = 0.2,
    inherit.aes = F)
}

p

And the output:
Any idea?

A: I assume you are using the ggroc function from the pROC package.
When you run ggroc with legacy.axes=TRUE, the ggplot function is called with the following aesthetics:
aes(x = "1-specificity", y = "sensitivity")

As identified by @Allan Cameron in the comments, you need to specify compatible aesthetics that specify 1-specificity in x:
p <- p + geom_ribbon(
     data = dat.ci.list[[i]],
     aes(x = 1 - x, ymin = lower, ymax = upper),
     fill = i + 1,
     alpha = 0.2,
     inherit.aes = F)

Heart of the Hero' gives a compelling insight into the lives of some of the world's most famous explorers, through the eyes of the women who inspired them to achieve great things. Author Kari Herbert explores the unpredictable, often heartbreaking stories of seven remarkable women who were indispensable companions, intrepid travellers and sometimes even the driving force behind our best-loved polar heroes, such as Scott and Shackleton. Drawing on her own unique experience as the daughter of a pioneering polar explorer, and using extracts from previously unpublished historic journals and letters, Herbert blends deeply personal accounts of longing, betrayal and hope with tales of peril and adventure.
Kari Herbert is the author of the bestselling, multi-translated memoir The Explorer's Daughter, an account of her early life in a remote Inuit community in Greenland with her mother and father, the renowned explorer Sir Wally Herbert. The founding director of Polarworld and a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, she is a seasoned traveller, a popular public speaker and an accomplished photographer. She has appeared widely on radio and television and her work has been published in the Sunday Times, the Telegraph, the Independent and the Guardian, as well as many international publications. She lives in Cornwall with her husband, polar historian Huw Lewis-Jones, and their daughter.

I'm currently writing my thesis in Italian, I'm quoting using the Oxford quotation style. How can I change the quotation's language setting so that instead of an "and" between two authors' names I get an "e" (Italian conjunction) while writing on Word? I still want to use the Oxford style, just in Italian!
Moreover, I would like to ask how can I change the front of the bibliography.
or translate your current citation style into Italian.

How Does Hot Weather Cause Turbulence?
As the summer is pretty much upon us now, it is a good time to discuss a certain form of turbulence that will be common over the next few months. Often you will experience turbulence just after take-off and/or before landing despite it being a clear sunny day, with no clouds. So, why? What causes this 'bumpy air'?
When the above happens, you are most likely experiencing what is usually called 'convective turbulence'. As shown in the simple diagram on the left, the sun heats the earth's surface leading to the air at lower altitudes to rise (warm air rises as I'm sure you already knew).
As the air rises above a certain level it cools down and begins to fall again. As a result, the air at lower altitudes is moving in different directions which leads to turbulence.
Normally, convective turbulence only causes mild 'bumps' but in particularly hot conditions can increase the level of turbulence to a more moderate level.
What's important to remember is that regardless of the severity of the turbulence, it poses no danger to the aircraft whatsoever. Convective turbulence is a 100% natural activity that has always – and always will – existed. Pilots do not struggle to control the aircraft when flying through it, regardless of popular belief that they do.
You are most likely to experience this during the middle of the afternoon when the sun is at it's most powerful. Next time you experience this type of turbulence remember this article and hopefully you will feel a little calmer and forget about the bumps and concentrate on getting off the plane and stepping out into the hot weather that is causing the plane to 'bump around'!
Thanks for explaining those bumpy air thing..


If you have been involved in a car accident, there are number of things you should do or should have done before contacting a lawyer which will help your case.
Don't move your car before the police come. It is important that they observe the positions of the vehicles involved in the accident.
If the police don't come, make sure to exchange information with the other driver, including his or her name and address, the vehicle plate number, information regarding the insurance company for the other car. Find out where the officer is located and where and when you can get the police report.
Do not talk to the other driver about how the accident happened, talk only to the police. Do take note if the other driver admits that the accident was his fault.
Take photographs of both vehicles using your cell phone or camera. Get pictures of the damages to both vehicles as well as the position of the vehicles in the roads.
If there are any witnesses to the accident, get their names, addresses and phone numbers.
If an ambulance comes, let the ambulance people treat you and, if necessary, take you to the hospital. The police will take care of your car.
After you leave the emergency room, or if you don't go, as soon as you get home, call your own insurance company. You have certain benefits under your policy which are not related to who is at fault for the accident, and you will not get any increase in your insurance premiums if you are not at fault for the accident.
If you have gone to the emergency room, follow up with any medical appointments which have been recommended. Your medical bills will be paid by your car insurance's no fault coverage, so you can go to any doctor you want. You do not need any referrals.
If you have not gone to the emergency room, follow up with a doctor as soon as possible. You do not need to go to your primary care doctor, but can contact an orthopedist, chiropractor, neurologist, or other specialist immediately. Follow up with any instructions your doctor gives you.
If an insurance adjuster comes from the insurer for the other vehicle, and wants to pay you a small amount of money for a quick settlement, do not take it. If you do, and your injuries are worse than you think, you may have accepted a small amount of money for what could be a very significant injury.
Contact the law offices of Norman M. Block, P.C. We can help you protect your rights and assure that you get the compensation you deserve.

Western Producer Prairie Books was established as an independent department of the newspaper 'Western Producer' in 1975. It was dissolved when its assets were sold to Douglas and McIntyre of Vancouver in the fall of 1991. Mandate: The mandate of Western Producer Prairie books was to publish books which would contribute to the enjoyment and enlightenment of the farmers of Western Canada, to preserve a record of western tradition and history, and to encourage western writers. Manuscripts relating to the three Prairie Provinces, the various types of farming found in the region, and the ethnic groups which settled Western Canada were among those selected for publication. Predecessor and Successor Bodies: Prior to the establishment of Western Producer Prairie Books, books were published by the 'Western Producer' itself. It began to publish in 1954, and in 1968 the Prairie Books Committee was established to deal specifically with the publication of books. In 1973 Prairie Books purchased the publishing rights, remaining books and unbound sheets of the Institute of Applied Arts Ltd. from the estate of William Clarence Richards of Edmonton, its publisher. To obtain Manitoba titles for Prairie Books the list of Prairie Publishing Co. Ltd. was purchased from J.A.D. Stuart of Winnipeg. In 1975, the new Editor and Publisher of the 'Western Producer', R. Phillips, decided that the book publishing end of the business could no longer be run through the Executive Editor. He hired a manager, who would be in charge of editorial and marketing functions and Chairman of what had become the Publications Selection Committee. Soon after, additional staff members were added, and in that same year, 'Western Producer Prairie Books' became an independent department. In the fall of 1991, 'Western Producer Prairie Books' assets were sold to Douglas and McIntyre of Vancouver. Administrative Relationships: When 'Western Producer Prairie Books' was an independent department of the newspaper, 'Western Producer' it was subsidized by the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, which also owns the 'Western Producer'. Administrative Structure: When 'Western Producer Prairie Books' was established as an independent department in 1975, a managerial position was created. This manager was in charge of both editorial and marketing functions. Additional staff members were added at this same time. Other Significant Information: The 'Western Producer' put out its first book, 'To Find the Daily Bread', by Jacob Fast, in 1954 after releasing it in installments in the 'Western Producer'. The next year, the newspaper took on its first commercial venture in book publishing, with the publication of 'So Soon Forgotten' by Dick Fairfax. In 1958, the new Editor and Publisher of the 'Western Producer', T.R. Melville-Ness, established the position of promotion manager, who would be responsible for the promotion and sale of books. Prior to this, books were advertised and sold directly through the newspaper. By 1966, the number of manuscripts awaiting publication had increased enough to necessitate publishing some books straight from manuscripts, rather than serializing them in the newspaper first. This new process put a great deal of strain on the printing plant and eventually resulted in the creation of the Prairie Books Committee in April of 1968, establishing a structure for the publication of books. Douglas and McIntyre of Vancouver, who purchased the assets of 'Western Producer Prairie Books', started the imprint, Greystone Books. This publisher maintains a mandate similar to that of 'Prairie Books'. It also holds the rights to the publication of all books that had been put out by 'Western Producer Prairie Books'.

Every Monday, the National Bureau of Economic Research, a nonprofit organization made up of some of North America's most respected economists, releases its latest batch of working papers. The papers aren't peer-reviewed, so their conclusions are preliminary (and occasionally flat-out wrong). But they offer an early peek into some of the research that will shape economic thinking in the years ahead. Here are a few of this week's most interesting papers.
Title: "The Skill Complementarity of Broadband Internet"
Authors: Anders Akerman, Ingvil Gaarder, Magne Mogstad
What they found: The introduction of broadband Internet in Norway enhanced the productivity of businesses by boosting the work of skilled employees, but it made unskilled workers less valuable.
Why it matters: Some politicians, including President Obama, tout the benefits of broadband Internet — they say it will create jobs and spur innovation by enabling businesses to harness a better Internet infrastructure and to be more competitive. Economists are a bit skeptical. To isolate broadband's effect on productivity, the authors of this paper looked to Norway. Between 2001 and 2007, the country built public infrastructure to support broadband Internet. The service was made available at different "access points" at different times. Firms near the access points saw significant productivity gains. And, furthermore, the program had a polarizing effect on workers: The most-skilled saw their productivity and their earnings boosted; but the unskilled had worse labor market outcomes, as broadband made automating their jobs easier.
Key quote: "Taken together, our findings have important implications for the debate about the role of government policies in the expansion of broadband infrastructure. Our estimates suggest that policy increasing the broadband penetration rates can be important in enhancing firm productivity. … Examining who wins, who loses, and by how much could inform about the nature of these barriers and how to design compensation schemes."
Data they used: Firm, worker and Internet data from Statistics Norway and verified by the Norwegian Tax Authority.
Title: "The Effects of School Spending on Educational and Economic Outcomes: Evidence from School Finance Reforms"
Authors: C. Kirabo Jackson, Rucker C. Johnson, Claudia Persico
What they found: Increases in per-pupil school spending lead to higher graduation rates and, when the students become adults, greater earnings and fewer cases of poverty. The benefits were particular large for low-income students.
Why it matters: On the surface, there seems to be no positive relationship between more school spending and better student achievement. But such surface-level summaries do not account for the complexities of how school funding is allotted. For instance, school districts with lots of low-income students are mandated by law to receive more funding. Tracking students born between 1955 and 1985, the researchers isolated the districts where court-mandated reforms would affect spending at those students' schools; next, they compared those students' achievement to similar students' progress in districts that did not receive greater funding. The effects they found were huge and likely causal: A 10 percent increase in per-pupil spending led to higher graduation rates, nearly 10 percent higher earnings in adulthood, and fewer incidents of poverty later in life. The researchers found small effects on students from affluent families but huge effects on poor students.
Key quote: "Accordingly, our findings provide compelling evidence that money does matter and that better school resources can meaningfully improve the long-run outcomes of recently educated children. At the same time, our results also suggest that money alone might not improve outcomes because the effect of any spending increases will depend on exactly how funds are spent."
Data they used: Longitudinal data on more than 15,000 children born between 1955 and 1985 and followed into adulthood, from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics.
Title: "Sacred Values? The Effect of Information on Attitudes toward Payments for Human Organs"
Authors: Julio J. Elias, Nicola Lacetera, Mario Macis
What they found: Individuals became significantly more likely to support a system legalizing payments for human organs after presented with information about such a system.
Why it matters: In the U.S., more than 120,000 people are on a waiting list for an organ transplant; every year more than 10,000 die waiting for a transplant. To fix the supply shortage, economists argue that would-be donors (of a kidney, for example) might be nudged to give their organs in greater numbers if they were offered money. But a significant number of people find this objectionable. Not just practically objectionable — would such a system be susceptible to abuse, with poor individuals coerced by economic circumstance into donating? — but morally objectionable. The researchers behind this paper devised an experiment to test whether moral resistance to payments for organs would respond to new information — like details about the organ supply shortage in the U.S., and proposals and studies arguing for payments-based solutions. They interviewed more than 3,000 subjects. The experiment revealed that 52 percent of respondents were tolerant of a market for organs, but when presented with information outlining the case for an organ market, this number jumped to 72 percent.
Key quote: "Our findings provide insights into the role of information and scientific evidence in how people perceive activities and transactions that are morally charged and the importance of the choice set in individuals decisions; supplying evidence and promoting studies on a number of sensitive topics might therefore lead to greater awareness and improved policy design based on the actual preferences of a population. In the case of introducing regulated payments for organ donors and their families in particular, the evidence is particularly strong that informing society about the potential benefits of economic incentives does impact the acceptability of this transaction."
Data they used: Online survey experiment of 3,417 individuals living in the United States.

Three patients had leukocytosis of large granular lymphocytes and chronic neutropenia. Clonal chromosomal abnormalities (trisomy 8 and trisomy 14) and lymphocytic infiltration of splenic red pulp, hepatic sinusoids, and bone marrow indicated the neoplastic nature of the large granular lymphocytes. Demonstration of a T3 + , T8+y HNK-I + phenotype and low natural killer cell activity that was augmented by interferon treatment showed the leukemic cells to be immature natural killer cells. Multiple autoantibodies were present and included rheumatoid factor and antinuclear, antineutrophil, antiplatelet, and antierythrocyte antibodies, suggesting a defect of B-cell immunoregulation. In addition, in-vitro studies showed impaired suppression of immunoglobulin biosynthesis by abnormal cells from one patient. Antineutrophil antibodies and absence of direct cell-mediated inhibition of granulocyte-macrophage colony formation supported a humoral immune mechanism for the neutropenia. In these patients the syndrome of splenomegaly, multiple autoantibodies with neutropenia, and lymphocytosis of large granular lymphocytes is due to a neoplastic proliferation of immature natural killer cells.

A cut-off, battle jacket, battle vest or kutte in heavy metal subcultures, is a type of vest or jacket which originated in the U.S. military, specifically the Army Air Corps, where pilots and other aviation personnel would collect patches or other insignia to put on regulation bomber jackets or flight suits. The practice continued within the biker subculture and auto racing subculture and later found popularity in punk and various heavy metal subcultures. Biker, auto racing, metal and punk subcultures differ in how the garment is prepared, what decorations are applied, and how this is done.

Cut-offs are usually made from leather or denim jackets with their sleeves removed, or cut very short, and often adorned with patches, badges and painted artwork that display motorcycle club affiliations known as colours, or alternatively band names, political affiliations, beliefs, or sexual acts performed.

In the 1970s and 1980s, cut-offs were almost always blue denim. Thrash metal fans favoured heavily washed denim, while members of one British motorcycle club bleached theirs until they were almost white. From the mid to late 1990s, some punks and metalheads have worn multi-pocketed hunting or fishing vests, both in plain colours and camouflage patterns, and leather cut-offs—always popular with punks, and with bikers in recent decades.

Punk and hardcore

In punk subculture, cut-offs are often leather (but can also be denim). Typical decorations are metal studs and badges (often painted-on) of bands or political causes, with cloth patches being secondary, ultimately because of the difficulty of doing the required needlework on tough leather. In addition, sleeves are more likely to be kept attached to the body of the jacket. As part of the DIY philosophy of the hardcore punk scene, the vests may be home-repaired with heavy thread, dental floss, or safety pins, and the band logos may be put on using paint and crude home-made stencils. Some wearers also drape chains or other paraphernalia from the vest.

Heavy metal

Cut-offs in the heavy metal scene are often adorned with patches of logos and album covers of bands, ranging in size from small square patches to large patches that fill the back panel of the vest.
The cut-off patch jackets first got popular during the NWOBHM (New wave of British heavy metal).  Patches are the main decoration.  Studs and badges also adorn cut-offs and continue to be popular to this day.

How Far Out of the Mainstream Can You Get?
In the Iowa Caucuses on Tuesday, Rick Santorum came within 8 votes of winning. 8 votes.
Why is this amazing? Because it shows how completely and totally out of the mainstream the Republican party has become. Either that, or the state of Iowa just went insane.
Santorum is about as extreme as you can get as a religious conservative. He isn't against just run-of-the-mill things like gay marriage or abortion, Santorum wants to make contraception illegal. He has repeatedly spoken out against the 1965 Supreme Court decision that struck down bans on discussing or providing contraception to married couples. He is against the right to privacy, the right that keeps police from searching your bedroom looking for condoms.
How out of the mainstream is this? Virtually all women of childbearing age (more than 99%) have used some kind of contraception, which Santorum wants to make illegal. That would make criminals out of half of America.
That's crazy. Even worse, if contraception were illegal, abortions would increase dramatically, as would teen pregnancies and other unintended pregnancies. In fact, according to a survey done last year, 82% of Americans want to increase access to contraception for women who cannot afford it. Santorum wants to ban all government funding of contraception.
Less than 3 months ago in an interview talking about contraception, Santorum promised that "all those issues are going to be front and center with me. I know most presidents don't talk about these things and maybe people don't want us to talk about these things. But … these are important public policy issues." Not jobs. Not the economy. Not terrorism. This is what the person who came within 8 votes of winning the Iowa caucuses wants the government to focus on.
Some people may say that those people in Iowa voted for Santorum only because he was the flavor of the week, and he wasn't Mitt Romney. And now that attention is being focused on the new kid on the block he will quickly burn out, just like Gingrich, Cain, Perry, Trump, Bachmann, and others before him did. If that's true that people voted for Santorum even though they had little idea what he stands for, then we need to rethink the whole nominating process.
© Bill Day
UPDATE: In this post I focused on Santorum's position on contraception, but he has plenty of other issues that put him outside the mainstream. He also wants to ban all pornography.
The Mainstream Media is Worthless
Mainstream Media loses last ounce of integrity
Mainstream Crazy
I wish the mainstream media was this aware

Not sure if you saw but Santorum made an odd comment. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/03/rick-santorum-entitlements-black-people_n_1181212.html?ref=politics
"I don't want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money; I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money."
84% of Iowans on food stamps are white.
Initially, when asked about it, he said that he didn't know the context of his own quote. But on Bill O'Reilly, he finally did it: he said that he never said it.
"If you look at it, what I started to say is a word and then sort of changed and it sort of — blah — came out. And people said I said 'black.' I didn't."
In the video it looks like he does struggle with it, but what he's saying doesn't make sense. I've never hunted for a word in my life and ended up saying "blah" mid-sentence like it was a word.
But what is really funny is his next defense:
"And I can tell you, I don't use — I don't — first off, I don't use the term 'black' very often. I use the term 'African-American' more than I use 'black," Santorum said. "I can tell you as someone who did more work for historically black colleges, I used to have — every year, I used to bring all the historically black colleges into Washington, DC to try to help them, because they get very little federal money through the bureaucracy, and so I help to try to introduce them to people in the Department of Education so they could have more resources."
See, he actually uses the word African American more than he uses the word black. Except, you know, in the sentence that immediately followed.
Imagine president Santorum standing next to your bed making sure no body does coitus interruptus method (Withdrawal). But this would create lot of government funded jobs. For every date you get, a government inspector would accompany you.
Ok I wanted to be funny, but sometimes things are so stupid, its hard to make jokes even.

Unfortunately, Santorum appeals to the majority of conservative Republicans. The cons break into two groups: a small group of fiscally conservative wealthy Americans, and a huge group of socially conservative poor Americans. Most GOP candidates have to favor both groups with their policies. But Santorum is unique; his entire campaign is based around getting those poor social conservatives to vote for him. They don't care if he's a nut, or if his policies are impossible or self-destructive for the nation, he's saying all the right things to stoke that conservative (f)ire, and he will likely do well for himself. After all, no one can claim he's too liberal for the base.
From what I can tell, Santorum may be a social conservative, but he is a fiscal drunken sailor. He even said he was "proud" of the earmarks he engineered as senator of Pennsylvania. Not to mention how he wants to expand the role of government (and pay for all those contraception inspectors!).

Clearly it is the time for Palin to return!!
In frothy Rick's defense (not sure where I heard it, but I love the name…), his quotes do not explicitly state that he is trying to make contraception illegal. Rather, he is making a case for state's rights: "The state has a right to [make contraception illegal], I have never questioned that the state has a right to do that. It is not a constitutional right, the state has the right to pass whatever statu[t]es they have." It's pretty clear that he would vote for a state law banning contraception, but follows it up with saying that voters would then be free to kick him out of office for it. Would he, as President, have the authority to make contraception illegal or would he push Congress for such legislation? No. He would, however, push for removing all public funding of contraception, which many people (especially older conservatives) would vote for, because our society is stupidly puritanical and we can't have a real conversation about sex.
Having said that, his argument is crap. State legislatures tend to be more conservative than the mainstream (partially because young voters, who tend to be more liberal, don't follow state and local politics) and pass stupid laws that the federal government must then spend time and money overturning because they do a demonstrable harm to individuals' rights. And he knows that.
When I was reading those articles, though, the point that really pissed me off was this: Interviewer: "…some article that you wrote blaming […] blaming in part the Catholic Church scandal on liberalism. Can you explain that?" Frothy Rick: "[blather about moral relativism…] In this case, what we're talking about, basically, is priests who were having sexual relations with post-pubescent men. We're not talking about priests with 3-year-olds, or 5-year-olds. We're talking about a basic homosexual relationship."
BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT. FUCKING BULLSHIT.
(Apologies for the language, but this whitewashing disgusts me beyond control…)
According to the John Jay Study, which can be found on the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops web site (http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/child-and-youth-protection/upload/The-Causes-and-Context-of-Sexual-Abuse-of-Minors-by-Catholic-Priests-in-the-United-States-1950-2010.pdf), "Most sexual abuse victims of priests (51 percent) were between the ages of eleven and fourteen, while 27 percent were fifteen to seventeen, 16 percent were eight to ten, and nearly 6 percent were under age seven." Considering the average age of pubescence for males is 13, that means nearly 73 percent of the 10,667 documented cases of abuse–7,787 cases, to be precise–involved sexual relations with children who were either pre-pubescent or right at puberty.
To suggest that these cases of abuse are "basic homesexual relationships" with "post-pubescent men" is so unbelievably beyond the pale that frothy Rick needs to be called out on this every time he makes the suggestion. And it pisses me off that this Associated Press interviewer completely dropped the ball.

Michael, I think that you are being too generous with definitions:
(1) pre-pubescent boys: males aged <13
(2) post-pubescent boys: males aged 13-17
(3) post-pubescent men: males aged 18+
Th whole reason it was a scandal was that 100% of the victims in the study were children, not men. Blaming any of this on liberals (even if he got his facts right) would be the same as blaming conservatives for abuses between male adults and underage girls.

BTN, you're right, but it was done intentionally. I wanted to avoid the (bogus) quibbling about sexually active teenagers and how some cultures have different views on when one is an adult (e.g., Bar Mitzvah). I did not mean to slight the abuse of those children at all, because it was abuse and they will suffer life-long harm from it. I simply wished to emphasize just how young many of these abused children were and just how much of a lie his statement was.

\section{Introduction}
Female sex workers (FSWs) are one of the most vulnerable sections of society and their challenges are multiplied manifold in developing countries. Cultural factors leading to power asymmetry, economic vulnerability, social stigma and lack of access to good healthcare increases their vulnerability for practicing unsafe sex and lack of knowledge of their HIV status. The interventions that could mitigate the spread of infection are well known, e.g., condom usage and testing \cite{das_bringing_2015}. However, the factors that govern these protective behaviors are complex, multi-dimensional and under-studied. With a high burden of HIV and limited resources, developing countries could benefit the most from data-driven evidence and machine learning approaches that can prioritize interventions \cite{wilder_clinical_2020} . In India, community-led organizations (COs) working towards HIV prevention are increasingly using digital tools and collecting massive data, thus opening the possibility of understanding these complex influences. The \textit{Avahan} program \cite{avahan-india_hivaids_avahan_nodate}
has been working in a phased manner in five Indian states since 2003, with a strong emphasis on improving condom usage behaviors. Work in\textit{ Avahan III} showed the importance of engagement with the \textit{COs} for improving the self-confidence and self-efficacy to procure condoms\cite{mahapatra_sustaining_2020}.  In this study, we decided to further delineate the actionable factors through learning the representation of this complex dataset using structure learning approaches, followed by predictive modeling. The goal of the study was to prioritize the set of actions that would have the strongest influence on higher condom use behavior. We believe that this is the first study combining a  unique dataset, expertise in community engagement and a principled machine-learning approach for transparent discovery and prioritization of interventions for mitigating the spread of HIV in female sex workers.

\section{Methods}
\label{gen_inst}
\subsection{Dataset:}

Survey based data on FSW was collected by professionals social workers under the \textit{Avahan III} program \cite{avahan-india_hivaids_avahan_nodate} in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Telangana states of India. A pretested, structured questionnaire Outcome Monitoring Survey tool was used to collect information directly on a digital Tablet. In addition to the basic demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the respondents, the detailed questionnaire also captured a variety of other factors including CO membership, sexual behavior, condom use with clients and intimate partners, history of STI (Sexually transmitted infections) during last six months, HIV testing behavior, access to and coverage with gender based violence, social protection, (civic identities and social schemes), financial security services and products (Savings Account, Savings Products, insurance and other financial schemes), reproductive health status as well as financial and  food crisis or insufficiency experienced by respondents. A total of 222 variables from 11016 female sex workers were recorded and considered in this analysis during the period July – September, 2017 (3 years after the programme was initiated).

\subsection{Structure Learning and Network Inference  :}
Explainability and interpretability are key challenges in \textit{AI} based decision models, especially in the public health settings. The expressive power of Bayesian networks combined with the advances in learning structure directly make them well suited to address complex problems that need transparency. Although the structure learned from observational data and edge-directions \textbf{do not} indicate \textit{causality}, yet these can be used as a \textit{probabilistic reasoning system}\cite{pearl__judea_book_nodate}.
An ensemble averaged directed acyclic graph (DAG) structure was learned directly from the data. The \textit{DAG} $G$ is defined as a triple, $N = \{X, G, P\}$ over a set of random variables, $X$. It encapsulates the underlying joint probability distribution $P$ that can be factored as the product of probabilities of each node $v$ conditioned upon its parents $pa(v)$. The d-separation criterion\cite{geiger_identifying_1990} allows the directed edges $E \sqsubseteq V \times V$ between the vertices $V$ to represent conditional independence relationships between random variables, hence providing a compact representation of data.
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
P(X) = \prod_{v\in V}{P(x_v | x_{pa(v)})}
\end{split}
\end{equation}
where v corresponds to the random variable v and pa(v) are the set of  parent variables.

The structure was learned as a search problem over a constrained space of DAGs and evaluated with the Akaike Information Criterion (\textit{AIC}) as a metric.
Since the DAG representation for a set of conditional independencies is not unique, and only up to Markov Equivalence \cite{pearl__judea_book} an ensemble of such structures learned from bootstrapped samples of data was constructed using a majority voting criterion\cite{koller_probabilistic_2009}. For  conducting inferences and queries, the DAG was parametrized with the posterior probability distributions for all variables.$x_{v_j} \in X$ conditionalized upon an evidence $e=\{e_1, e_2,.. e_m\}$ from a set of variables $X(e)$. Where, the prior marginal distribution $P(x_{v_j})$ is given by the following set of equations

The likelihood was then defined as follows.
\begin{equation} \label{eq4}
\begin{split}
L(x_{v_j}|e) & = P(e|x_{v_j}) \\
& = \sum_{x \in X \setminus \{x_{v_j}\}}  \prod_{i \neq j} P(x_{v_i}| x_{pa(v_i)}) \prod_{x \in X(e))} {E_x} \\
\end{split}
\end{equation}

For each $x_{v_j}\notin X(e)$, where $E_x$ is the evidence function for $x \in X(e)$ and $v_i$ is the node representing $x_{v_i}$. Finally the posterior was inferred through application of the Bayes rule and is always proportional to the estimated Likelihood
\begin{equation}
\begin{split}
P(x_{v_j}|e) \propto L(x_{v_j}|e) P(x_{v_j})
\end{split}
\end{equation}

where the proportionality constant $P(e)$ can be computed from $P(X,e)$ by summation over $X$ and $P(x_{v_j})$ may be obtained by inference over empty set of evidence.

\subsection{Discriminative Predictive Model for Condom Usage:}

Next we took the discriminative approach to confirm whether the discovered influences from the generative approach had enough predictive power to be useful in the real world settings. Data were partitioned into training (80\%) and testing (20\%) sets with the class imbalance was corrected using the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique(SMOTE). Condom usage was defined as the dependent variable and the top predictors were identified.  Different supervised machine learning models like Random-Forest(RF), Support Vector Machine (SVMs), Logistic Regression, XgBoost and AdaBoost were then used to predict condom usage.

\section{Results:}
\subsection{Intervention Score \& Vulnerability}
A Combined Vulnerability Reduction Intervention Coverage Score (CVRICS) was defined and calculated for all  female sex workers in our database . \textit{CVRICS} is a combination of variables like social protection intervention score, financial security intervention score and number of incidents of crisis faced by the \textit{FSW} within the last 6 months and its values range between 0 to 30. These include access to entitlements and social protection schemes, access to formal financial products and incidents of violence and reporting of the same as experienced in the last 6 months before the survey. It was observed that although the observed maximum \textit{CVRICS} score was 21, more than 6000 female sex workers had a score of 7-11 indicating that a majority of \textit{FSWs} were vulnerable either financially, socially or physically.

\subsection{Inferences from Learned Structure:}

From our 101 bootstrapped ensemble-averaged \textit{DAG} we found that financial empowerment was a key association for condom use. The learned conditional probabilities showed that having at least one financial investment such as RD (Recurrent Deposit) FD (Fixed Deposit) and Chit Fund  \textbf{increased }the probability of using condoms with clients by as much as 6\%. We also observed \textbf{Depression symptoms} to be key influencers on a female sex worker's confidence to buy a condom on her own. Our model showed that the probability of a \textit{FSW} buying a condom on her own decreases by 14\% if she reported symptoms of depression as measured using CESD short scale. We also identified the determinants for HIV testing and our \textit{DAG} revealed legal education and financial stability as two key influencers for HIV testing. The conditional probability of a \textit{FSW} getting tested in every 6 months, increased by 16\% if she had been trained on legal education. It was also observed that creation of a personalized financial plan increased the probability of HIV testing among the sex workers by 12\%. Although it is intuitively expected that these factors could play a role, our model revealed these to be top influences and also quantified their marginal impact.\\
Government schemes were also observed to strongly influence many key \textit{FSW} related variables. Access to at least one government scheme increases a high level of self-efficacy by 13\%, which in-turn drives condom usage behaviors. Since depression symptoms were influencing condom buying behavior, we observed an association between unwanted pregnancy and depression, although a cause and effect relationship cannot be established. However, this highlights the role of mental vulnerability and unsafe practices, and the need to design holistic interventions.
Finally, although the \textit{DAG} approach identifies potential confounding transparently and does not require confounders to be specified up-front, the structure was evaluated by field experts for possible biases.

\subsection{Predictive model for Condom Usage:}
The marginal probability of \textit{\textbf{FSWs}} using condoms with regular paying clients and non regular paying clients was observed as 88.6\%, 80.07\% respectively. Hence there was certainly a scope of improvement to push this beyond the 90 - 95\% goal, but this also led to class imbalance, which was corrected using \textit{SMOTE} algorithm. Discriminative models were trained on training set and their performance was evaluated on test set \textbf{Table1}. The best performing models were \textbf{Random Forest} and \textbf{XgBoost} for non-regular paying clients  and regular paying clients respectively with accuracy 0.96 in both the cases. The sensitivity of the model was only 0.71 and 0.69 in the best performing models, but the intent of interventions is not usually to screen for positive condom usage class, but the opposite. The specificity of detection of positive class was upwards of 97\% in Random Forest and XgBoost models. Finally, in both the generative \textit{DAG} and discriminative modeling approaches, the presence of financial variables as either top influencers or predictors indicate the potential impact of intervening with increased financial empowerment and literacy in order to instill confidence and self-efficacy in the \textit{FSWs}.
However, this study has several limitations. Firstly, as indicated earlier, it is nearly impossible to derive causal influences from observational data and our study does not claim to do that. However, the usefulness of \textit{DAGs} as probabilistic reasoning systems is well known and little applied in public health settings. This is especially important in sensitive studies where black-box models can lead to serious ethical concerns. Secondly, since the study deals with the highly sensitive issue, the responses of \textit{FSWs} may have some degree of incorrectness. However, we believe that the \textit{FSWs} are not explicitly aware of the structure of the influences, hence it is difficult to confabulate the relationships that were discovered in a data-driven manner.

\section{Broader Impact}
Sexual vulnerability in any gender is a highly sensitive issue, especially in the developing world, and female sex workers are the most vulnerable. A transparent and explainable approach with expert evaluation is critical to model sensitive issues. We demonstrate the potential of such an approach for learning to improve safe practices and mitigate the risk of HIV transmission in a vulnerable population in India, but our work provides a framework for learning and replicating interventions in any settings across the globe.

In Netflix's To the Bone, which premieres next month, Lily Collins plays Ellen, a woman with anorexia. It's a role that takes on a personal feel for the actress — she herself has suffered from an eating disorder in the past.
Collins opened up about her experience, and how her eating disorder affected her acting pursuits, in the latest issue of Net-A-Porter's magazine, The Edit. The eye-opening interview was conducted by Marti Noxon, To The Bone's writer and director. Noxon, too, has suffered from an eating disorder in the past.
"When I went through my eating disorder, I never sought medical assistance," Collins told Noxon of her experience with disordered eating. "I created myths in my head about how I should get through things, so the idea that I could surround myself with truth and feel comfortable enough to speak mine allowed me to breathe. There's a scene in the film when we're in group therapy talking about the euphoria we experience — I'd never heard that weird enjoyment we feel from being in the disorder worded that way before — and in that moment, you caught Lily understanding it as opposed to just Ellen, my character."
Collins also told Noxon that while she was doing press for her 2016 film Rules Don't Apply, some magazines said she was too thin to be featured in the publications, even though her weight loss was for a film role. "It hit me — 'Oh, this is going to majorly f*** with your career now, not just your health," the actress said in the interview.
Noxon also noted in the interview that To the Bone is, to her knowledge, the first feature film "about a person with an eating disorder." The director also pointed to a statistic that one in three women suffer from disordered eating.
You can read Noxon's powerful conversation with Collins in full over at Net-a-Porter.
