Anyone want to run for APA president? The last day for nominations is today.
I'm not sure how many multiples of my current compensation I would need to be paid to do that job.

OMG - they're killing me here.Allergies this year have me out of commission. Its like a better(worse?) version of "the happening"
Just messed around with the data sets. Very interesting stuff. I looked at some correlations between DI and other other variables. It's obviously highly correlated with the percentage of the state population that lives in an urban setting (r= .71). It's also highly correlated with the average daily low temp (r= .53),s o the colder the state, the less diversity. The temp thing is probably more of a factor of proximity to a southern land border or major sea point of entry than it is to temp, but it's pretty clear that if a place is cold, rural, and hard to get to, it's pretty non-diverse.Any one else headed to Riverside later this week for the WPA conference? We've got four students presenting this year. It'll be a short week in the classroom, part of which will be spent looking at changes in population demographics.
The Chance That Two People Chosen at Random Are of Different Race or Ethnicity Groups Has Increased Since 2010
2020 Census results released today allow us to measure the nation’s racial and ethnic diversity and how it varies at different geographic levels.www.census.gov
I really like the census' interactive databases. The classroom projector uses a "smartwall" where students can navigate around the map, zoom in on their own counties/states/neighborhoods.
Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the United States: 2010 Census and 2020 Census
We use the Diversity Index (DI) to measure the probability that two people chosen at random will be from different race and ethnicity groups.www.census.gov
This is another interactive data set I like to use in class:
Happy monday!
Report includes data starting from 2017 in case anyone else opens it and is confused by the n.For your Monday morning reading, ASPPB released the EPPP pass rates by program through 2023 here (PDF warning).
Going from 2.7 to 5.99 (with point buy down) is gonna kill. But hopefully, rates will come down...Those interest rates tho...

for the first time, dropping both kids off at school this morning. First 5, done!
Yeah, but then 12 years later you have pay THEIR college tuition expenses. By the time today's kindergarteners go to college tuition will be...(does some complex math in his head)...80 billion dollars per semester?I'll be sad when that happens, but also happy at no longer paying the college tuition/daycare expenses.

yea for real. Wife and I opted out of the daycare circuit and somehow managed to coordinate our schedules to take care of all childcare just the two of us. We're very much enjoying a quiet day at home together for the first time in 6+ years.I'll be sad when that happens, but also happy at no longer paying the college tuition/daycare expenses.
You guys doing okay in Cali with Hilary?yea for real. Wife and I opted out of the daycare circuit and somehow managed to coordinate our schedules to take care of all childcare just the two of us. We're very much enjoying a quiet day at home together for the first time in 6+ years.
all good where we're at, just humid and 10 degrees warmer than usual. Lots of rain in LA and farther south, closed streets, downed branches & power lines, localized flooding in the desert towns. We've got family and friends in the area and all are ok, nothing dire going on thankfully.You guys doing okay in Cali with Hilary?
Does anyone know why erg923's account is on hold?
I pushed through - I just did a great intake. No more burping in front of patients. Ewww...I'd probably push through, but I am remarkably good at telling when I'm going to throw up (and, as someone with chronic nausea, I have numerous anti-emetics at my disposal). If I were at a level that I knew was not gonna end well, I would definitely leave. Usually at that point, though, even talking is extremely difficult for me.
I also would think about how you're going to look to the patient (like, are you gonna keep burping? Not great) and if you're able to focus enough to be effective.
In reference to the Friday thread, aren't we similar ages? I am an elder millennial.Because it is Monday and people are still using the Friday thread. Also, it has been a little quiet here.

Sanman is the oldest, whitest dude here. He was there in 1921 when Congress created the Veterans Health Bureau. Been in the same office ever since.
I'm going to take these gifts while I can. Sometimes I need something else to do with these years of research experience. Dissecting Kendrick's quadruple entendres is my favorite.Yeah. So are Drake and Kendrick for that matter. Aren't these two getting a bit old for rap beef?
