Hello out there in Phinsider Land,
I know, I have been MIA (pun intended). The football off season is a busy time here in Orlando filled with all the lovely summer tourists. Regardless I have been following along this week and was lurking during OTA's. There are a couple of guys on our roster that if they keep improving are bound to breakout this year. At least on the level that the average Dolphins fan will know their name.
First up on my list is Julius Pruitt, WR. This guys name has been everywhere this off season. He had a good showing at OTA's and his training camp thus far has featured multiple touchdown receptions. And at least one TD from every QB. These are all good signs. But the thing that I have keyed into is the fact that the other players are talking about him. The D-backs are talking about him, the other wideouts are talking about him, and even the QB's, when they aren't being asked about the QB battle for the nine-millionth time. My hope is to see him in on more 4 receiver sets. I think Julius has elite speed and dependable hands and if he can excel in a fast paced mentally cerebral offense he is a diamond in the rough about to shine through.
Switching sides of the ball real quick to my second player is defensive end Jared Odrick. DE in 3-4 and different than a DE in a 4-3. And I know Odrick played DT at Penn State, weighing in currently at 304 he is larger than the prototype 4-3 Defensive End. But what do we know about Jared Odrick, so far we know he can penetrate the backfield and stuff the run, he can create pressure from the interior. On a line that features guys like Big Paul Soliali and Cameron Wake not to mention Randy Starks who is no slouch himself, who do you double team? I see a great opportunity here for Odrick to break out in his 3rd year which is typical of when players start to light it up, especially first round draft picks.
The third player I really have my eye on for this upcoming season is Safety Reshad Jones. Another of Ireland's 2010 draft class is poised to breakout this year. Reshad got to start last year and it is a position he intends to keep. He is the play making ball hawk type of safety that should explode in Kevin Coyle's defensive scheme feature dual free safeties. One of those FS's is out there to be the ball hawk and one has got to be your solid over the top coverage man. Reshad we know which one of those you intend to be, let us hope to find the second type and quickly. If we can find anything decent out of the other safeties Reshad Jones should have a star-powered 3rd year.
Back on Offense for my fourth break out player prediction Charles Clay. Already nicknamed here on The Phinsider as "The Clay-maker" Charles Clay is undoubtedly one of the most versatile players on our offense. Last year he was labeled a Full Back. This year, who knows? Philbin has mentioned Clay more than once and I see that as a great sign because the thing Philbin prizes most in his players is versatility. Line him up at TE, FB, split him out wide in the back field. Clay is capable of doing it, and now is his time to shine as long as he can master the play book and know exactly where he needs to be at all times.
And last but not least is RB Daniel Thomas. He put up some decent numbers last year coupled with a Hamstring injury that is now worked out, 585 Yards on 165 attempts. Having a full training camp this year should do wonders for Thomas even though critics would say that Running Back is the easiest skill position to transition into the NFL. However, playing in South Florida heat is a special type of conditioning (We need to bring back the September 1 pm games). Thomas has the talent to be the downhill rumble and breakthrough back, we just need to stop waiting for the reincarnation of Ricky Williams. Thomas is a talented back and will be very good for our team, I just see too many people who want him to be Ricky. He is however an extremely talented complimentary back.
Again, this isn't a list of who I think our best players are but more of a "who is going to take the next step" list. I can say relative certainty we will see good years from WR's Devon Bess and Brian Heartline, RB Reggie Bush, whomever the Quarterback is...(My money is on Garrard). Defensively, the front seven is very solid and could be the the strongest part of our unit, Wake Soliai, Starks, Odrick, Burnett, Dansby, Misi. Our CB's should do well, it is about time Davis and Smith tighten up at the same time and adding Richard Marshall as our nickle back. Who do you think is going to break out this year? Or do you think I am nuts?

According to Cougfan.com visitation schedule( and possibly a premium article) , DE Faigame Lopa is no longer slated to visit. This is the third Grant Union player to cancel, he follows Army All-Americans,Safety James Sample and DT Viliami Moala. The lone player player remaining from the original foursome is MLB Darryl Paulo. (How strange would 2 Max commits and 2 Darryl commits be?)
Would have been a nice pick, not overly devastated or surprised.

Conductor Ivan Fischer and the Budapest Festival Orchestra give an outstanding performance of Brahm's monumental work.
Memories of playing popular dance music in Hamburg, performing Hungarian and Gypsy tunes with Ede Reményi, visiting the mountains of the alphorn with Clara Schumann, finding refuge in Vienna and coming to feel like the true successor to Haydn and Mozart all merged in this immense masterwork. The Hungarian Dances, the German Requiem and the classical variations on a theme of Haydn (or not Haydn, it doesn't matter, for him it was an homage to Haydn) led the way to his first German-Hungarian-Gypsy-Swiss-Austrian symphony.
Iván Fischer
Fear of Beethoven
Johannes Brahms never made a secret of the inspiration he drew from Beethoven's symphonies. He was only twenty when he first heard Beethoven's Ninth, and this was a truly overwhelming confrontation. Brahms was overcome by the irresistible urge to follow in Beethoven's footsteps, a thought that also filled him with great fear. What to do if he bit off more than he could chew and a symphony fell short? Who could measure himself with Bach, Mozart or Beethoven? Did such giants still see the light of day? Throughout Brahms's life, the Ninth remained his favourite and his ideal. But it was for his First Symphony in C minor (1876) that Brahms received one of the greatest compliments of his life. The conductor Hans von Bülow called it Beethoven's Tenth, even though Brahms was the very last to compare himself even remotely with Beethoven. It was clear that Beethoven's Fifth (likewise in C minor) and Ninth had served as Brahms's model. But at a public rehearsal, when a music lover pointed out the "remarkable similarity between the C-major theme of his Finale and the Joy-theme in the Finale of Beethoven's Ninth", Brahms reacted in his usual taunted and hateful manner: "To be sure, and what's even more remarkable is that any old ass can hear it straightaway!" He had struggled with the burden of this symphony for no less than fourteen years. When he played a first version to his close friend Clara Schumann on the piano in 1862, she expressed fundamental criticism of the beginning of the opening Allegro. Thanks to this, we now have the wonderful slow introduction Un poco sostenuto, which Brahms managed to add without any awkward transition. Moulding, trimming, crossing out, tearing up and burning - such is the recurring drama of a composer's life. Berlioz had predicted it to Brahms, who, at the age of twenty, had played the piano in the presence of both Liszt and Berlioz. In an enthusiastic letter to Joseph Joachim, Berlioz wrote in a prophetic postscript: "He will have to suffer much!" The premiere of the First Symphony took place in 1876, twenty years after the death of Brahms's good friend and inspirator Robert Schumann. The work is the well-wrought result of what he bore in silence for twenty years - an agonising process and a struggle against the giant Beethoven. Clara Schumann was completely overwhelmed by the recalcitrant and poignant final movement.
Brahms and Haydn?
One of Brahms's Viennese friends, the musicologist Carl Phol, showed him an interesting composition in 1870, the Divertimento (Feld-Parthie) in B flat major (ca. 1785) by - as it was assumed - Joseph Haydn, with the well-known St Anthony chorale as second movement. Inspired by this dignified and solemn melody, in the summer of 1873, when Brahms was staying in the Bavarian forest near Munich, he wrote his Variations on a theme by Haydn. At the same time, he composed a version for two pianos and one for orchestra. The work comprises the theme, eight variations and a concluding passacaglia. It is considered to be a preliminary exercise, needed by Brahms before venturing on to the First Symphony.
The elegant Brahms
The Hungarian Dances reveal Brahms from a less familiar angle, as he dances elegantly and exuberantly. He first heard Hungarian gipsy music when, as a young café pianist, he and his father earned a bit on the side in bars in the red-light district of Hamburg. He acquired a lifelong passion for gipsy music (and a fear of women). This fascination received an extra impulse through the composer's contact with the flamboyant violinist Eduard Reményi, with whom he became befriended in the summer of 1853. Brahms was then twenty. Reményi, a Hungarian granted political asylum in Germany, not only deepened Brahms's acquaintance with Hungarian gipsy music but also introduced him to Schumann, Liszt and the violinist Joseph Joachim. Reményi and Brahms together performed programmes with a gipsy-like flavour, and indeed it became a task in the composer's life to assimilate this so-called 'Hungarian gipsy music' in his own style. First, in 1869, he issued a collection of Hungarian Dances for piano duet in which he incorporated existing gipsy tunes, then he published a second book of entirely original music in 1880. The present recording features one of these dances in an orchestration by Iván Fischer.

Hey everyone!
While the Raleigh area is excited for the NCAA Basketball tournament, I find myself checking out the NCAAA hockey tournament. It starts this weekend, and I personally think the frozen four is more exiting than the final four. Does anyone know if the Hurricanes have any prospects in the tournament? This SB Nation Blog has a list of the teams in the tournament.
So, any player(s) I should watch out for? If ya'll don't know, is there somewhere I can go for a quick and easy listing?
Thanks! Go Canes!

Round 1(31)- Jonathan Hankins DT, Ohio State
At 6' 4" 322 lbs. Hankins is a massive tackle who can take up a ton of space. Even though he wont put up huge sack numbers he still generates a decent pass rush and he is a superior run stopper. Defensive line is a need as we are getting old at that position and don't have a lot of depth. It is highly likely that the 49ers wont be able to re-sign RJF so it will be a high priority to draft D-Line and Hankins can play both NT and DE in a 3-4.
Round 2 (61)- Ryan Swope WR, Texas A&M
Yes, this is a bit of a reach in the 2nd round but after the numbers he put up at the combine I think that he will be flying up the draft boards. The guy has solid hands and excellent route running skills. He will be a perfect addition to this offense as he will create match up problems in the slot. The only knock on the guy going into the combine was that he lacked speed to separate from defenders. He definitely proved that wrong by running in the 4.3's. I still am a fan of A.J. Jenkins and feel that he will develop into the #2 WR but if not Swope has the potential to play outside if need be but ultimately would be best in the slot.
Round 3 (74)- Brandon Jenkins DE/OLB, FSU
A natural pass rusher, whose best trait is probably his quickness off the ball to go along with good instincts in reacting to the ball. 49ers need to add another pass rushing threat other than Aldon Smith. I think Jenkins fits the bill as that pass rushing specialist.
Round 3 (93)- Shamarko Thomas SS, Syracuse
I believe that the 49ers will bring Goldson back at FS but SS could use some help. Whitner's played declined this year and was a liability in coverage. Its time to draft a guy who can bring depth to the position and can eventually take over for Whitner. Thomas is a special player who has both power and speed. He is an excellent run stopper and is also good in coverage. He is a big hitter and will make opposing players fear him. One of my favorite players in this draft
Round 4 (125)- Tyrann Mathieu CB, LSU
Taking a huge risk right here taking Mathieu because of the off the field issues but I think we are a team who has the luxury to take that risk and have strong leadership in place to help this kid overcome his troubles and stay clean. He is a second round talent that we could get in the 4th. He is a pretty good athlete with who has above average coverage skills but has great ball skills and can make a lot of plays. Also, Ted Ginn is most likely gone and Mathieu can more than fill his shoes in that role as he is special in the return game. The potential reward of this kid is well worth the risk.

Berklee student Michal Skrzypek was walking past the Christian Science Plaza one afternoon when a row of silver-and-green bicycles caught his eye, docked near what looked like a solar-powered ATM. Intrigued, he paid $5 for a 24-hour Hubway pass and took his first bike ride in Boston.
That was 16 months ago. Skrzypek kept pedaling — to class, to see his girlfriend in Allston, to run errands, to explore back alleys and new neighborhoods — and in late November became the first customer to ride Hubway 1,000 times, hitting that mark a few days before the bike-sharing system closed for the winter last week.

Asked 4/20/2008
401K withdrawal at age 62
Do I have to pay an early withdrawal penalty if I withdraw funds from my 401K at age 62
Answer 1/13 - Submitted 12/2/2008
Answer 2/13 - Submitted 2/19/2009
Answer 3/13 - Submitted 3/24/2009
The tax on $100,000 from a 401(k) is 20%--- that's what they have to withhold...
$20,000----If you move to IRA and withdraw, they do not have to withhold at the time of distribution, but you will have to report the withdrawal on you income taxes..... and the percentage would vary based on the income.....
Answer 4/13 - Submitted 9/25/2010
Answer 7/13 - Submitted 8/15/2011
Fortunately, there are no additional tax penalties when withdrawing funds at age 62. You need to be 59 and 1/2 or older to make 401(k) withdrawals without extra difficulties. Otherwise, an additional 10% penalty is normally imposed by the IRS.
At retirement age, withdrawals should be taken. They are actually mandatory after reaching age 70, so 62 seems like a perfect age to start drawing out of the account. Of course, disbursements are subject to some taxes.
Your 401(k) withdrawals count as income. This means they will be subject to regular Federal income taxes, as well as state taxes, if applicable. Always try to plan your tax strategy wisely. Income from other investments or Social Security will bump up your gross adjusted income, not counting what you withdraw from the 401(k). With a safe withdrawal rate that still gives you a comfortable retirement, you can continue to build wealth with your 401(k), while minimizing potential tax liability.
Answer 8/13 - Submitted 8/15/2011
Answer 9/13 - Submitted 8/16/2011
The withholding tax will either be specified by the plan, or they will ask you what you prefer. How much tax you actually owe will depend on the rest of the information on your tax return.
Most people find 10% federal tax withholding to be a bit too low, and end up paying the balance when they file their tax returns. If you are drawing Social Security, or have other income this year, then you should ask them to withhold 20%. Any excess withholding will become part of your tax refund next spring.

My husband and I are both 62. We both have IRA and I also have a 403b and and Roth account. My husband who has technically been disabled for years but has been blessed to be able to continue working as a Sales Manager, has recently developed back issues due to the loss of his right leg in 91 and wearing a prosthesis all these years. The doctors have even told us this is most likely what has caused his back issues. He eventually is going to have to have back surgery within the year or less and we have no idea what this will result in. We presently live in a split foyer home but have been looking at one level homes to consider buying so that we will have no steps to contend with. My question is can we take the money out of his 401k plan to purchase a home should we find one and then upon selling our existing home but the money back into it for our retirement?

Interesting how everything popping out at me lately is about blogging networks and the sense of community they instill in bloggers. Just yesterday I was pointed toward Darren Rowse's series of entries at ProBlogger about blog networks, then today I came across this mention of mom bloggers banding together over at ClubMom.
As the author of two blogs here at Know More Media (Workerette and SmallBizMentor), I can certainly see the benefits of blogging professionally in a network rather than off on my own. The folks here at KMM have selected incredible writers for each of the blogs (including my partner here at Workerette, Amy Vedova-Phillips) and they've taken the time to make sure we are in touch with each other and given the opportunity to welcome newcomers. This not only builds a sense of community and makes me feel like I "know" my colleagues a bit better, it also helps each new blogger in the network gain traffic and comments when we pop in to visit each other.
On a personal level, I also maintain a blog on a network hosted by a homeschooling publication. The community created there is different, of course, based on our shared journey through home education. With the diversity in the homeschool community, it's easy to find folks who I agree with, or disagree with, and it's easy to "meet and greet" newcomers and frequent posters, as well as to keep up on the folks in charge of things via their company blogs. Parenting and education are just a few of the many topics discussed on that particular network, as you can imagine, but the overall tie that binds is an educational option, versus the business practices that link me to the folks here.
All in all, I can see many benefits to blogging in a network, and I highly recommend that you Workerettes get out there and create a blog on a network where you feel a common bond and shared strength, whether it's based on business, education, parenting, cooking, etc. Just remember that this is the Internet, so standard safety rules (no posting your address and phone number, gals, unless you truly want it available to everyone who stops by!) and my usual plea to SPELL CHECK apply.
That said...get out there and blog. Enjoy!

1. Tech Team Supercharges Agent-Based Modeling with Video-Game Technology
by Marcia Goodrich, senior writer
An unlikely team of Michigan Tech researchers is harnessing the computing muscle behind the most popular video games to understand the most intricate of real-life systems.
Led by Roshan D'Souza, an assistant professor of mechanical engineeringengineering mechanics, the group has devised a way to supercharge agent-based modeling, a powerful but computationally massive forecasting technique. In particular, they are focusing on computer models of complex biological systems.
Their breakthrough transforms an off-the-shelf desktop PC into a supercomputer by using graphic processing units (GPUs), which drive the spectacular 3-D imagery of video games.
GPUs have evolved into powerful processors capable of billions of color calculations every second.
Agent-based modeling simulates the behaviors of complex systems. It can be used to predict the outcomes of anything from pandemics to the price of pork bellies. It is, as the name suggests, based on agents: e.g., sick people and well people, bullish and bearish investors, predators and prey, etc. It applies rules that govern how those agents behave under various conditions, sets them loose, and tracks how the system changes over time. The outcomes are unpredictable and can be as surprising as real life.
Agent-based modeling has been around since the 1950s, but the process has always been handicapped by a shortage of computing power. Until recently, the only way to run large models quickly was on multi-million-dollar supercomputers, such as IBM's Blue Gene.
In a closet-sized lab in the MEEM, however, all that is changing. Under the direction of D'Souza, a team of Michigan Tech computer science students has been programming GPUs to run models with tens of millions of agentsand to do it with blazing speed.
"With a $1,400 desktop, we can beat a computing cluster," says D'Souza. "We are effectively democratizing supercomputing and putting these powerful tools into the hands of any researcher who desires them. Every time I present this research, I make it a point to thank the millions of video gamers who have inadvertently made this research possible."
Computer science senior Mikola Lysenko demonstrates on his computer, running a model of the human immune response to a tuberculosis bacterium. On the monitor, a swarm of bright green immune cells surrounds and eventually contains a yellow TB germ. These busy specks look like 3D-animations from a PBS documentary, but they are actually virtual T-cells and macrophagesthe visual reflection of millions of real-time calculations.
"I've been asked if we ran this on a supercomputer or if it's a movie," says D'Souza. In fact, their model is several orders of magnitude faster than state-of-the art agent modeling toolkits. According to the researchers, however, their current effort is small potatoes.
"We can do it much bigger," says D'Souza. "This is nowhere near as complex as real life." Next, he aims to model how an infection could spread from the lung to the patient's lymphatic system, blood and vital organs.
Dr. Denise Kirschner, of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, developed the TB model and gave it to D'Souza's team, which programmed it into a graphic processing unit. Agent-based modeling hasn't replaced test tubes, but it is providing a powerful new tool for medical research.
"Our raison d'etre is this," Kirschner explains. "A lot of scientists look at the immune response to TB in Petri dishes or in monkeys. We build a computer model to test a hypothesis."
Computers offer significant advantages. "You can create a mouse that's missing a gene and see how important that gene is," she says. "Using agent-based modeling, we can knock out two or three genes at once." In particular, agent-based modeling allows researchers to do something other methodologies can't: virtually test the human response to serious insults, such as injury and infection.
While agent-based modeling may never replace the laboratory entirely, it could reduce the number of dead-end experiments. "It really helps scientists focus their thinking," Kirschner said. "We can recapitulate what the scientists are doing and then address questions they can't ask."
By programming GPUs, D'Souza's team is helping to overcome the field's primary stumbling block, she said. "The limiting factor has been that these models take a long time to run, and his method works very quickly and efficiently," she said.
"It has a lot of potential," she added. "I hope he can get some funding and do more work on it, because this area is becoming so hotit's just blooming."
Dr. Gary An, a surgeon specializing in trauma and critical care in Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, is a pioneer in the use of agent-based modeling to understand another matter of life and death: sepsis. Virulent microorganisms sometimes spread from an infection site and provoke massive, fatal inflammation. But with billions of agents, including a variety of cells and bacteria, sepsis has been too complex to model economically on a large scale, at least until now.
"The GPU technology may make this possible," said An. "This is very interesting stuff, and I'm excited about it."
The Tech team also looks forward to applying their model in other ways. "We can do very complex ecosystems right now," said team member Ryan Richards, a computer science senior. "If you're looking at epidemiology, we could easily simulate an epidemic in the US, Canada and Mexico," Richards said.
Mechanical engineer D'Souza recruited his team of computer-savvy wunderkinder when he was investigating realtime techniques to determine if parts designed on a computer could actually be manufactured in real life.
Because the research is computer scienceintensive, he approached Lysenko, Richards and senior Nick Smolinske. The trio has since competed in the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest, known as the Battle of the Brains, where they finished 47th in a field of the top 100 college computer-programming teams in the world and tied for sixth among the US teams.
The team stumbled across agent-based modeling when D'Souza came upon a research paper that described an agent-based model of a bacteria colony. When the team tried to replicate the results on existing software systems, they found that any model having more than a few thousand agents took an inordinately large amount of time to compute. Lysenko had the idea to use video cards to speed up these computations and figured out how to program them for the task.
"GPUs are very difficult to program. It is completely different from regular programming," said D'Souza, who deflects credit to the students. "All of this work was done by CS undergrads, and they are all from Michigan Tech. I've had phenomenal success with these guysyou can't put a price tag on it."
In particular, he recognizes Lysenko's contribution. "Without Mik, this wouldn't be possible," D'Souza said. " It's been a pleasure working with him for the last two years."
2. Have You Received a FOIA Request? Here's What to Do
Michigan Tech is a public institution and, as such, many of its records are open for public inspection under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act.
To submit a request for information, anyone may contact the Universitys Staff Associate to the President Roberta Dessellier, the Universitys freedom of information officer. Dessellier reviews the request and determines if the information can be released; she is required by law to respond within five business days.
While the University tries to be as open as possible regarding its records, some documents, including student records and personnel files, are privileged. If you receive a formal FOIA request, forward it to Dessellier in the Office of the President. Likewise, contact her at 487-2200 or
if you have any questions regarding what information may be legally released.
A summary of the Michigan Freedom of Information Act is available

3. UAW Approves Contract
UAW Local 5000 has ratified a one-year, full contract with Michigan Tech. Approved on a 95-13 ballot, the terms of the agreement include a 3-percent pay increase for the represented office professionals at the University.
The contract also includes a 1-percent equity component that recognizes the growing level of professionalism within the union membership and aims to partially address compensation imbalances between UAW employees and other staff at the University. The high standard of customer service and the computing and business skills brought to these positions contribute substantially to the mission of the University, said Director of Labor Bill McKilligan.
The new contract includes a clause stipulating that if the University provides additional paid time off for nonunion employees, UAW employees will receive the same time off with pay.
"The UAW leadership really does look at all the angles on an issue," McKilligan said. "Their emphasis on professionalism and equity benefits not only their membership, but also the University as a whole."
"We appreciate that the University recognizes our professionalism and our loyalty to Michigan Tech," said Barbara Ruotsala, president of UAW Local 5000. "The UAW membership continues to value the students as our customers and to meet their needs with care and respect."

Investigation underway into a deadly early morning house fire in Thomasville.
March 31, 2008Dougherty County -- Violent crime is up in unincorporated parts of Dougherty County.
The overall crime in the county is down two percent, but Dougherty County Police have seen an increase in aggravated assaults, following a trend in the city of Albany.
Last year at this time they had responded to 32 aggravated assaults. This year, they've investigated 35.
Officers say the only way to combat this trend is through communication with the people they serve.
"There is no one thing, but of course we try to identify problem areas and concentrate patrol and activities to address those. But we really just emphasize quality contact with the community," said Dougherty County Police Chief Don Cheek.
Property crimes in Dougherty County are down by almost three percent.

Each year in the United States, more than 500,000 people have their lives changed by burn injuries. The Burn Fund supports burn-survivor retreats for adults, regional and international burn camps for affected youth, and the creation of burn prevention materials. Our mission in these efforts is to create a better quality of life for those who have been affected by burn trauma.
The Burn Fund's signature event is the International Burn Camp held annually in Washington, DC. Started in 1994, the camp is a life-changing opportunity for burn survivors ages 13-15 and the fire fighters/camp counselors who work to make a difference in the lives of these young people. The Burn Camp helps burn survivors understand that they are not alone in their experiences and that there is a larger support system for them.
To help serve and support the Burn Fund and the community it has built, in 2009 the IAFF appointed 16 district Burn Fund Coordinators. These individuals organize, facilitate, and support IAFF members' efforts and participation in burn prevention, fire safety, burn care, and survivor support activities.
The Burn Fund has also successfully facilitate the distribution of more than $2.5 million in funding for burn research through its Research Grant Program. Funded research has been published in numerous professional medical journals and has greatly contributed to advancing treatments and the quality of life for burn survivors.

Structural Equation and Latent Class Modelling
Optional for SRMS
Lecturers Dr. Nick Shryane and Prof. Tarani Chandola
Timetable Term 2. Five day course. See course timetable for details
Course Aims
- Introduce students to structural equation modelling, so that they can generate, specify, analyse, interpret and critically discuss a range of such models based on relevant research questions.
- Provide intermediate-level training in MPlus.
Students should have completed introductory/intermediate training in statistical analysis and research design, such that they are familiar with:
- Non-experimental, survey-based research; its strengths and limitations.
- Linear and logistic regression analyses; their specification, estimation in software packages such as SPSS or Stata, and interpretation.
Teaching and Learning Methods
Each of the five course days will consist of 2 teaching/workshop blocks and an exercise. The teaching/workshop blocks comprise a 1 hour lecture followed by a 1 hour computer practical/tutorial. The computer practical/tutorial will involve hands-on computer work, guided by the course tutor and with students assisted by GTAs. The content of the exercise will vary, but generally will require students to work at their own pace on a set problem, with assistance from the tutor and GTAs available. Sessions will also feature class discussions and critical evaluation of published SEMs.
Intended Learning Outcomes
On completion of this unit successful students will be able to demonstrate:
Knowledge and understanding: Understand the nature of structural equation modelling and its relationship to other statistical methods, specifically regression, path, and latent variable models. Distinguish between categorical and continuous variables, both observed and latent. Identify the contexts when different structural equation models are appropriate.
Intellectual skills: be able to critically evaluate an example of structural equation modelling published in a scholarly journal. Be able to translate conceptual theory/hypothesis into appropriate structural equation models. Make appropriate scientific inferences from the results of structural equation models.
Practical skills: use MPLUS to specify and fit a range of structural equation models to 'real' datasets (e.g. the European Social Survey). Interpret and graph the parameter estimates generated by different structural equation models.
Transferable skills and personal qualities: write a report that synthesises evidence from relevant literature and the student's own analysis.Exercise self-management skills in terms of pacing workload and meeting deadlines. Gain experience in analysing quantitative social data.
Critique of a published SEM study: 600 words (20%), report based on SEM analysis of data: 2,400 words (80%)

Forget about the Hot Stove. Last night, Brian Cashman warmed up the Yankees' sleepy winter with a flame thrower. The biggest news centered on the surprise trade of prized prospect Jesus Montero for rookie sensation Michael Pineda. So, how did the blogosphere react? See for yourself.
- Fangraphs compared what the Yankees traded for Pineda to the packages involved in other recent deals and concluded that Cashman paid pennies on the dollar.
- At The Captain's Blog, I argued if you can get past the affection for Montero, the logic behind the trade seems clear. In other words, it's ok to like the deal even if you love Montero.
- River Avenue Blues compared the trade to the Red Sox sending Hanley Ramirez to the Marlins for Josh Beckett, although Beckett was already a five-year veteran when that deal was made.
- From the other side of the fence, USS Mariner was cautiously optimistic about the deal, assuming the Mariners make other moves to fill the void left behind by Pineda, while Lookout Landing was wrestling with several conflicting emotions, but seemed relieved that King Felix was not the one who was traded.
- On the local beat, John Harper of the Daily News called the deal Brian Cashman's best trade ever, while the New York Times included rave reviews from the ever popular anonymous talent evaluator. Larry Stone of the Seattle Times was less ebullient, but offered 10 thoughts on the trade.
- Finally, Keith Law stated that both teams successfully addressed their critical needs, but gave a slight edge to the Mariners because of greater certainty associated with Montero's bat. Law also provides more insight into Jose Campos, who also gets very favorable reviews from John Sickels and Prospect Instinct.
Almost immediately after news of the trade broke, the Yankees also reached a tentative agreement with veteran right hander Hiroki Kuroda. Does the addition of Kuroda and Pineda once again make the Yankees the favorites in the AL East? Sports Illustrated's Cliff Corcoran thinks so.
As if his evening wasn't busy enough, Jon Heyman also reported that Cashman has inquired about free agent first baseman Carlos Pena. With the DH slot now wide open, perhaps the Yankees envision a Pena/Andruw Jones platoon?
In what now seems like rather anti-climatic news, the Yankees are no longer believed to be suitors for Cuban outfielder Yoennis Cespedes.

In-app purchases accounted for a new high of 76% of revenue in the Apple App Store for iPhone in February 2013, up from 53% in January of last year, according to a new report from Distimo. Breaking that down further, the study shows that 71% of revenue came from in-app purchases from free apps, while in-app purchases from paid apps generated another 5% share.
Examining the top 250 grossing iPhone applications in February 2013 released since January 2012, the study reveals that average revenue per download is actually higher for the small amount of paid applications ($2.25) than for the free apps ($0.93). So it appears that the large share of revenues generated by in-app purchases from free apps owes itself more to quantity than monetization. In fact, of the 250 top grossing applications, just 27 were paid only. (That in itself is an indication of the power of the freemium model, though: the vast majority of top grossing apps are freemium rather than paid apps.) Read the rest at MarketingCharts.

RECIPES: CALA Alliance culinary event
CALA Alliance is going to hold the most exciting Latin American culinary event of the year.
6617 N. Scottsdale Road, Suite 103
Scottsdale, Arizona 85250
Executive Sous Chef Chaz Frankenfield, Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel
Sheraton Phoenix Downtown Hotel
340 N. Third Street
Phoenix, Arizona 85004
Serves: 2-4
· 2 ripe avocados
· ½ red onion, minced (about ½ cup)
· 1 each jalapeño pepper, removed seeds, minced
· 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
· 1 each fresh lime
· ½ teaspoon kosher salt
· Freshly grated black peppercorn to taste
· ½ ripe Roma tomato, chopped
1. Cut avocados in half. Remove seed. Scoop out avocado from the peel, put in a mixing bowl.
2. Using a fork, roughly mash the avocado. (The avocado should be a little chunky.) Add the minced onion, tomatoes, cilantro, lime, salt and pepper.
3. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface of the guacamole to prevent oxidation from the air reaching it. Refrigerate until ready.
4. Garnish with whole cilantro leaf, sliced red radishes or jicama.
5. Serve with tortilla chips or your favorite Mexican dish!
Duck Quesadilla
· 4 pounds duck legs (not confit) or 1 whole duck (or chicken), 4 to 5 pounds
· 2 heads garlic
· 2 poblano or Anaheim chilies or 2 cans of green chilies
· 1 teaspoon chili powder
· 3 jalapeños, remove seeds and mince
· ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
· ½ cup white corn kernels, roughly chopped
· Salt and pepper to taste
· 1 pound goat cheese
· ½ pounds Oaxaca cheese or Jack cheese shredded
· 10 large flour or corn tortillas
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Rinse the duck with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the duck with salt and pepper and place in roasted pan breast side up. Roast 30 minutes to render fat from duck. Then turn oven down to 350 degrees. Continue to roast for about 2 hours. If cooking duck legs, following same cooking procedure, but reduce cooking time to 45 minutes after rendering fat process is completed.
3. While the duck is cooking, roast the garlic and peppers. Without peeling, cut off about a ¼ from the top of each garlic head. Wrap the garlic heads loosely with foil and place in oven for about an hour or until the garlic becomes very soft. Remove from oven and let cool. To remove the roasted garlic from the husks, just squeeze it out the open end into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed.
4. Roast the Poblano or Anaheim chilies under a broiler, turning occasionally. Other methods of roasting can be done by blackening the peppers on a hot grill, in a dry cast iron pan or by holding the peppers with tongs over your gas stovetop. The peppers do not need to be completely blackened and will actually have a burnt taste if you over do it. Once blackened, transfer the peppers to a bowl and cover with plastic
5. When the peppers have cooled, remove the blackened skin with your fingers and discard. (If you are sensitive to pepper oil, you may want to wear gloves). Use a paring knife to cut a slit in the pepper and remove the seeds and stem. Do not rinse the peppers in water as this will remove a lot of the flavor, some seeds are okay. Cut the peppers into thin strips or dice.
6. Remove duck from oven and let cool. Remove and discard skin. Pull duck meat from the bone and shred the meat with your fingers or by using two forks. Toss the duck meat with 1 teaspoon chili powder and refrigerate until needed (up to one day ahead).
7. In a mixing bowl combine duck, roasted garlic puree, diced roasted peppers, jalapeno, cilantro, chopped corn, goat cheese and Oaxaca cheese. Gently mix all ingredients together.
8. Place quesadilla mixture on one half of a tortilla. Then in a hot pan place quesadilla and let bottom tortilla get light brown, then flip quesadilla over and brown the other side. Cook quesadilla till cheese is melted. Cut in ½ and serve with your favorite salsa or guacamole. Enjoy!
Mole-Spiced Peanut Cracker Jacks
- 1 cup raw yellow popcorn kernels
- ¼ cup grapeseed oil
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ cups unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¾ cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup mole-spiced peanuts*
Mole-Spiced Peanut Recipe
- 1 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts
- 2 dried ancho chiles or 2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
- 2 dried guajillo chiles or 2 tablespoons guajillo chile powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- Kosher salt
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet
with foil. Mix the peanuts in a large bowl with chiles and spices.
If using dried chiles, pull off the stems and scrape out the seeds. Tear the chiles into 2-inch pieces. Put the chiles, allspice, cumin, orange zest and cayenne in a spice grinder and pulse until the chiles are ground. (If using chile powder, mix the ingredients in a bowl.) Add to the nut mixture. Add the sugar, canola oil and 2 tablespoons salt. Stir with a fork to evenly coat.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake 2 minutes, then stir with a fork and continue baking until lightly golden, about 2 more minutes. Pour the nuts onto a clean baking sheet to cool.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
Without using butter or salt, pop the popcorn. Grapeseed oil works the best.
In a medium pot, bring the brown sugar, butter, sea salt, and corn syrup to a boil for 3 minutes. Remove the mixture from heat. Add the vanilla and baking soda and mix well.
Pour the mixture over the popped popcorn. Using a rubber spatula, toss together so that all of the popcorn is coated. Be very careful as you work with hot sugar as it can produce severe burns.
Once the popcorn is coated, spread the mixture onto a baking sheet and bake for approximately 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Be sure to add in the mole-spiced peanuts after 30 minutes. Remove the mixture from the oven and allow to cool.

Iowa City, IA (SportsNetwork.com) - Jon Ekey rose up from the wing and buried a contested 3-pointer with 0.5 seconds left to lift Illinois to a 66-63 win over No. 24 Iowa on Saturday.
Ekey, who finished with 12 points off the bench, knocked down a trey with three minutes left to give the Illini a 63-59 lead before Roy Devyn Marble and Gabriel Olaseni converted back-to-back layups to tie the game at 63-apiece to set up the late-game heroics.
Rayvonte Rice paced Illinois (18-13, 7-11 Big Ten) with 15 points, while Nnanna Egwu and Kendrick Nunn scored 14 and 10 points, respectively, in the Illini's fourth win in their last five games.
Aaron White led Iowa (20-11, 9-9) with 12 points and eight rebounds in the setback. Adam Woodbury and Mike Gesell each netted 11 points, while seniors Marble and Melsahn Basabe scored eight and six points, respectively, in their final game at Carver Hawkeye Arena.
Iowa has lost two straight to close the regular season and five of its last six overall. The loss also snapped a 30-game home winning streak to unranked opponents.
Olaseni hit a jumper to give the Hawkeyes a 54-48 lead with 11 1/2 minutes left in the second half. Illinois answered with an 11-0 spurt that Ekey started with a three-point play. Egwu capped the run with a jumper to give the Illini a 59-54 advantage with under seven minutes to go.
Woodbury followed with a jumper before Gesell converted a 3 to tie the game at 59-59 entering the home stretch.
Earlier, Ekey knocked down a 3-pointer with just under 14 minutes remaining in the first half to stake Illinois to a 20-6 lead. The Illini would cool off from there, going nearly eight minutes without a field goal as Iowa crept its way back into the contest.
Zach McCabe followed Ekey's triple with a 3 of his own, and Iowa proceeded to go on an elongated 17-1 run. White scored six straight points for the Hawkeyes and Gesell's jumper with 6 1/2 to play capped the spurt for a 23-21 lead.
Rice made a dunk to end the field goal drought for Illinois and tie the game at 23-23.
Woodbury scored seven straight for Iowa and Basabe hit a jumper as the first half came to a close to give the Hawkeyes a 34-29 lead at the break.
Illinois shot 25-for-54 from the floor, while Iowa converted 24-of-54 attempts
from the field ... Marble shot 3-for-11 from the floor in defeat ... The
Illini owned a 34-29 edge on the boards.

Kymmi - posted on 03/28/2010 ( 8 moms have responded )
My son is 7 months old, and was sleeping 7, 8, sometimes up to 10 hours straight until we started him on solids at 5 months. I am still breastfeeding in addition to the solids (no formula), and he wakes every 4 hours now. Is this normal, or is he not getting enough calories during the day to stay asleep at night?
thanks in advance for the help...

The past few years have seen galleries flocking to the Lower EastSide. At first it was just the upstarts, but when a blue-chip LehmannMaupin opened its satellite space on Chrystie Street last year, itseemed to christen the tenement-lined neighborhood as the bona fidestomping ground for art and commerce. Now the new kid on the ForsythStreet block is the aptly, and literally, named Half Gallery -- itsplits the space with RxArt, a non-profit organization that teams upwith well-known artists to create site-specific art for hospitals aroundthe country. "[RxArt] was looking for a tenant, so I called Andy Spadeand it went from there," recalls Bill Powers, a board member of RxArtand one of the three co-partners of the project. The third partner iswriter James Frey of the now infamous quasi-memoir A Million LittlePieces. Spade, the force behind men's lifestyle brand Jack Spade,came up with the gallery's name. "Andy's a marketing genius," Powerscoos.
Half Gallery is about the size of a pre-condo L.E.S. bedroom, which isto say, very small -- so Powers and company choose art that works in alimited space but still packs a lot of punch. For the inauguralexhibition in early April, Matt Damhave, co-founder of the fashion lineImitation of Christ, showed a dozen or so notebook-size collagedrawings, which attracted viewers like Chlöe Sevigny and Ben Stiller."The three of us have equal input in what we want to do with the gallery-- Robert Hawkins, the next artist we're showing, is somebody that Andybrought in," says Powers. "The goal is to show work of emerging andre-emerging artists and, as Duchamp put it, break even, plus tenpercent."

Half Gallery, 208 Forsyth St., halfgallery.com. The Robert Hawkins exhibit runs through Jun. 14.

Volunteers from Dominion Virginia Power are putting their skills to a different kind of work in Fishersville.
They're building a greenhouse for the Woodrow Wilson Rehabilitation Center (WWRC). The agency's clients will use the greenhouse to explore potential job skills and provide fresh produce for the cafeteria.
The WWRC Foundation bought a larger sized building thanks to the savings from using volunteer labor. Construction should finish up this week.

Boundaries (Participant's Guide): When to Say Yes When to Say No to Take Control of Your Life
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Healthy relationships and sound living depend on maintaining smart personal boundaries. But many people don't know where to start. Here's where — with Boundaries Zondervan Group Resource. Based on the best-selling book by Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, these nine interactive sessions can make a life-changing difference. Drawing on principles from the Bible, Boundaries guides small groups on a journey of discovery and practical application . As a participant, you'll learn to live your life more fully and display Christ's love more freely. Each of nine Boundaries sessions contains a video presentation by Drs. Cloud and Townsend. It's the centerpiece for insights, exercises, and spirited discussions that can profoundly improve the quality of your relationships in every sphere of life — marriage, family, friendships, church, and the workplace. If you would like a richer, more rewarding way of living, Boundaries is for you. Get set to enjoy the support and interaction of a small group as you cultivate the habits of productive relationships.
Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. A boundary is a personal property line that marks those things for which we are responsible. In other words, boundaries define who we are and who we are not. Boundaries impact all areas of our lives: . Physical boundaries help us determine who may touch us and under what circumstances. Mental boundaries give us the freedom to have our own thoughts and opinions. Emotional boundaries help us to deal with our own emotions and disengage from the harmful, manipulative emotions of others. Spiritual boundaries help us to distinguish God's will from our own and give us renewed awe for our Creator. Often, Christians focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limits and limitations. When confronted with their lack of boundaries, they ask: Can I set limits and still be a loving person? What are legitimate boundaries? What if someone is upset or hurt by my boundaries? How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy or money? Aren't boundaries selfish? Why do I feel guilty or afraid when I consider setting boundaries?
This Participant's Guide for the video curriculum is based on the best-selling Boundaries book.
