Gov 2001,
This month's issue of the Political Methodologist (which you should all sign
up for!) is all about workflow applications, literate programming, and
procedures for more replicable research. It seems very applicable for this
class. Also if, like me, you haven't given too much thought to your
workflow- its definitely worth a read. Graduate school is the easiest time
to make these sorts of changes.

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to manipulate a data frame and I need your help. I working with
Congressional committee assignments. Here is what the current data frame
looks like:
Name Year Committee
Aandahl 1951 102
Aandahl 1951 146
Aandahl 1952 102
Aandahl 1952 146
Basically, each representative has their committee listed. If they are in
more than one committee that year, they receive two rows (one for each
committee).
What I want is to butcher this data set into a string of binary values for
each committee, each year. Kind of like:
Year Name 102 103 104....145 146 147
1951 Aandahl 1 0 0 0 1 0
Any thoughts on how to pull this off?
Thank you in advance. I hope you are frolicking among the baby deer on this
beautiful Sunday (rather than inhaling the stale air of the CGIS-K
Dungeon/Lab)
Mikey H!

Hi everyone, If you're coming mountain biking tomorrow, please remember a
helmet, eye glasses (for protection), and water. At 10am when we're meeting
its supposed to be around 45 degrees so something warm too. A backpack can
be useful as well.
At around noon, we'll be at Stone Hearth Pizza, 974 Great Plain Avenue,
Needham. If anyone not biking can join us, please do!
I hope to see you tomorrow.
Gary
