I would be interested to know where in the US this was. I was once in a Statistics program in Ohio with a bunch of students who were working towards their Masters in Education, and they were solidly in the middle-lower end of the class but

Check out this video: http://python.mirocommunity.org/video/1531/pycon-2010-python... Doing a search for "Panel data" yields some interesting courses. MIT's OCW and Apple U should also have lots of material. As far as books go, I've been

Absolutely. If Nobel's were worth anything, he deserves one. I don't know what category it'd fit under though: he should get an award for being an outstanding educator, the conscience of science etc. AFAIK, there's none such. He did get one

I like to say that the fact that humans are omnivores is descriptive, not prescriptive. That we can use alternate food sources in times of hardship is a survival mechanism. IOW, omnivory is not a preferred mode of eating (genetically/evol

As for #2, imho, the article is deliberately written to caricaturize, which may well be appropriate for a mainstream lifestyle section of a newspaper. IIRC, an earlier article in the same paper on the crossfit exercise plan was quite alarmi

As the professor points out in that lecture, plants have their own problems (fiber). Human digestive tracts are made for high-quality (bio-available energy/mass) nutrition-dense foods, unlike ruminants, or large apes like the gorilla. And m

Acer may also be the #1 maker because they make lots of laptops that are sold under other brandnames. For example, they make the Macbooks for Apple.
