  1. Stanley Morgans hand: Is it injured? I noticed he was favoring one of his hands most of the second half of the game. It started after a bullet by Lee. I'm assuming it's a broken finger, but didn't see anything about it. Anyone know anything?

      Yeah, it was pretty on camera on his last target. Again, I'm assuming it's not a big deal, but something I made a mental note of.

      Didn't get mentioned in the injury report today so I'm assuming he's fine.

      I saw that as well. He was noticeably favoring for much of the second half.

  2. Finally have internet again on devices that aren't my phone.

      Good to hear. I have family in Houston and they just got evacuated yesterday. Contact with them is now spotty, but we're pretty sure they're safe. Just have to hope their house is left mostly unscathed.

      If they need a place to stay and can get here, my place in Corpus is open to them. If it comes to that, send me a DM. My department is looking to mobilize for the redcross to provide needed mental health work. I'm also hoping to do some research on disaster psychology. There's so much to do to help folks out.

      Thank you, that's awesome. They have options through work, and there are families around on higher ground (what there is of it in Houston), so they should be OK. They're biggest problem will be property loss.

  3. Evacuated to Austin. Little stressed out about the financial consequences of Harvey.

      Go to Gourdoughs and enjoy the night - rest well, there will be lots of work to do when you get home.  Glad you're safe.

      Stay safe out there zoo... and try not to stress over stuff you have no control over.

      Glad you're safe, friend. Keep us updated and try not to stress about the implications of all of this.

  4. Great start to the semester. Campus is being evacuated due to a hurricane in the days before starting the school year.

      Yeah, it's not supposed to really hit until Friday I think. The predictions keep changing about how bad Southern Texas is supposed to be hit. Right now it's just the university that's going to be evacuated. We'll see if they move it up to the city. It sucks though because having only lived here for 2 weeks I haven't really had time to think about an emergency kit or anything. 

    3. Thanks_Tom RR

      Good luck, zoo. Hope it misses you all.

      Prescription meds - dog food - flashlight(s) - batteries - fill the tub - water - gas the cars up.  

       

      Good luck.

  5. Does anyone here have any depth of knowledge about diamonds?

      Ask your question, zoo. Worst than can happen is we don't know the answer.

    3. Huskerzoo

      Huskerzoo

      G/F and I are talking engagement. Wanted lab grown diamond (ethical, both like science). They seem to be as expensive as mined diamonds now. Found another lab grown product that I'm interested in (Nexus Diamond) but hard to figure out what info is legit vs industry stuff. Wanted to hear someones thoughts on pros/cons. I know that the lab grown won't retain value, but we're not gonna sell it so I don't care. Would love to hear others experiences.

  6. Finally more or less settled in Texas. I'm back to provide you with pointless updates that only apply to me.

      Nice! Hope the moving stuff has settled down okay.

      Hopefully I am done moving for a while, but I have always paid movers to do it for me. So worth it!!!

  9. My good career week continues. Just notified by APA that I was awarded a small grant.

    1. Thanks_Tom RR

      Thanks_Tom RR

      Congrats, Zoo. What was the funding mechanism?

    2. Huskerzoo

      Huskerzoo

      Can't quite go into details yet, but it was through one of the APA divisions. Nothing major, but it's the first money I've brought in. It certainly won't hurt moving forward.

  10. Just offered an associate editor position at the Journal that accepted my manuscript a few weeks ago.

  11. Can someone help? I need help figuring out how to evenly distribute things. I have 72 objects each with 6 of 27 boxes checked. I need to split those into 2 groups that are equal across all 27 boxes (should be 8 in each).

      Well, 72 choose 36 = 4.4e20, so you're not going to find it randomly or by brute force.

    3. RedDenver

      RedDenver

      Actually, if the checkboxes must be evenly divided into 8 in each set, then the maximum number of possible combinations is 27 times 16 choose 8 = 347490. You could find that by brute force on a computer.

    4. ZRod

      Couldn't you just write some rules and that would enter the values into another sheet under the categories you need? It's probably more labor intensive than you would like, but that's all I can think of. I know jist enough to be dangerous in excel, so there is probably a better way...

  12. Just had a manuscript accepted by the top journal in my little niche of the world.

      That should tell you something teach.

  14. I hate customer service. Contacting a business to ask if they have any promos for new customers should not turn into a half hour ordeal.

  15. There were two other Nebraskians at my trivia night in Seattle this week. Was nice to talk to folks from back home.

  16. I was awarded my Ph.D. two years ago today.

  17. Today's frustration. I live in a major city, work at a major university. Research participant freaks out because we don't pay for parking (usually people public trans or walk here). I mention in the add exactly what I'm paying for...I'm not going to list all the things I'm not paying for.

      It might affect your results. You'll miss out on the tightwad demographic, since they won't participate.

      Is the study actually on things that piss people off?

      I don't think most schools even pay for professors' parking so why would they pay for a research subject's?

      Even if Riley can't coach a team that wins 10 games here, he's leaving a team that can win more than that for the next guy.

      Great stadium, can't believe it's 18 years old already! The Kingdome was a dump but loved that place too. Are you going to try the grasshoppers?

    3. Huskerzoo

      Huskerzoo

      Didn't know there were grasshoppers so I didn't. Not really my thing one way or another.

  20. Pet sounds is an amazing album. That is all.

  21. Now that I'm moving to Texas, there's an important question to ask. Is it weird to go to high school football games without knowing anyone playing?

      OH, we're probably okay then ;-) When you said decked out in Husker gear I pictured the guy with red & white striped overalls over his Mike Rozier signed jersey, foam finger, corn head, and red face paint. ha.

      I'm very new to it. I use it for text classification.

       

      For stats in general I recommend R. I believe SPSS is decreasing in popularity. I use Python for text classification.

      If you're sticking to just stats, R is great. Ditto on Moiraine.

      NM11046

      He is a little elf huh? Stuttering, I think his entire tactic was "talk real slow, and for as long as you can so that they can ask less questions". At least Warren set the tone quickly for "yes/no" questions, and they tried to hold him to that.

  25. I hate Iowa.
