Montefiore, Einstein and Columbia Awarded $3 Million for HIV Prevention
Sexual Risk Reduction Intervention More Effective for Adolescent Boys Than Girls, New Research Shows
Professor, Department of Pediatrics (Academic General Pediatrics)
Laurie J Bauman, Ph.D., a sociologist, is a tenured Professor of Pediatrics and the Director of the Preventive Intervention Research Center (PIRC). She has been Principal Investigator of multiple NIH-funded studies that apply social science theory to the prevention of mental and physical health conditions in children, adolescents and their parents. For the past 10 years Dr. Bauman has been studying health disparities in children and youth, with special attention on adolescent sexual risk behavior and child/adolescent mental health. With her colleagues at the PIRC, she has developed and tested 6 interventions using randomized controlled trial (RCT) designs to identify strategies that are successful in reducing HIV/STI transmission. Dr. Bauman has examined service learning (that gives teens the opportunity to teach other teens what they learned about safer sex); gender norms (to help teens understand how gender norms influence risk); and relationship characteristics (so teens recognize that being in love and trusting one¹s partner are associated with stopping condom use).
Dr. Bauman is currently Principal Investigator on an NICHD-funded 2-group randomized trial to assess the effectiveness of Project Prepared, an HIV/STI prevention program for young people aged 12-14. She is also PI of an NIMHD-funded project "Bronx Youth as Partners in Community Based Participatory Research" which is a teen-led partnership of adults and teens from the Bronx community. The community partners, Bronx teens aged 13-17 years, evaluated 6 health disparities and selected mental health to focus on. Together with adult partners, they developed a preventive mental health intervention called "BxThunder" which is currently being tested in an RCT with 720 youth in 5 community settings. Seventeen Bronx agencies were involved in BxThunder; they were drawn from the membership of the Bronx Youth as Partners community coalition, which includes over 50 organizational partners.
In addition, Dr. Bauman is also the PI (New York site) of a 9-city initiative that is funding CFARS to assist local Departments of Health to implement the President¹s National AIDS Prevention Plan. The New York site of ECHPP (The Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention Planning and Implementation for Metropolitan Statistical Areas Most Affected by HIV/AIDS²) is focusing on improving linkage and engagement in care of newly diagnosed HIV positive individuals.
Dr.Bauman has been elected to the American Pediatrics Society and the New York Academy of Medicine; was the recipient of the Lela Rowland award from the National Mental Health Association and the 2008 Public Health Community Award from the Public Health Association of New York City; was Associate Editor of The Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics; and currently serves on the Joint Executive Committee of the Einstein-Montefiore Institutional Review Board.

HTC One Announced – 4.7″ 1080p Display, 1.7GHz Quad-Core, UltraPixel Camera
Today HTC announced its next flagship smartphone, the new HTC One and I can say with confidence that HTC has delivered one of the best Android phones I have ever seen. The HTC One includes most of the bells and whistles you could wish for, and it packs several unique features that you might not be able to do without after using the device. Highlights of the HTC One include a breakthrough UltraPixel Camera with HTC Zoe, Sense 5 UI with HTC BlinkFeed, HTC BoomSound, Snapdragon S600 processor, 1080p display, and an iconic design with zero-gap aluminum body.
A quick scan of the press release or spec list might confuse you with some new marketing terms, so lets dive into the details.
HTC UltraPixel Camera with HTC Zoe
My favorite feature of last year's HTC One X was the camera experience, and HTC has taken that to new heights with their latest flagship. Once again, HTC has designed their own dedicated ImageChip to enable enhanced camera features that only they can offer.
HTC's biggest risk with the new One is the custom camera module. It includes a best-in-clase f/2.0 aperture lens and a breakthrough sensor that gathers 300 percent more light than traditional smartphone cameras. This new approach delivers excellent photos and low-light performance, but the max resolution of images is 4 megapixels and that might worry some consumers who buy into the megapixel myth.
Just like the gigahertz rating of a processor won't tell you the true performance of a PC, we can not rely on megapixels to tell us the quality of a camera. HTC will try to educate consumers and tell them it's the size and quality of the pixels that really counts, which we think is the reason why their marketing department came up with the UltraPixel name.
The camera experience that I am most excited about is HTC Zoe, which allows the user to capture high-res photos and videos at the same time. This unique camera mode will let you record a brief moment in time that can be used later to save the perfect picture or relive an experience years later.
These Zoes are only three seconds long, but HTC has included a tool that automatically creates a 30-second long highlight film that sets your photos and video to music with professionally designed cuts, transitions, and effects. HTC included a pack of different themes, and you can instantly remix a video with the tap of a button.
HTC BoomSound and HTC Sense Voice
We have seen HTC focus on sound since they made an investment in Beats, and the One keeps that tradition alive. HTC BoomSound introduces for the first time on a phone, a pair of front-facing stereo speakers with a dedicated amplifier.
Front-facing stereo speakers, I'm glad to see HTC bring this feature to their flagship smartphones. Audio is loud and crisp, so you will no longer need to worry about cupping your hands around the back of the phone. Beats Audio integration once again delivers authentic sound.
A new feature called HTC Sense Voice automatically boosts the call volume and quality when you are in a noisy environment.
HTC Sense 5 with BlinkFeed
HTC really toned down Sense 5, and the most notable feature is BlinkFeed. This new service creates a live stream of content right on the home screen. Users can connect their social accounts like Facebook and Twitter, and then subscribe to both local and global content from more than 1,400 media sources.
When you first see BlinkFeed, you might just write it off as a poor man's Google Now or some Flipboard clone, but HTC has spent a lot of time to create a unique experience and they have a roadmap in place to keep improving the service. For example, HTC will soon provide a software developer kit so that other Android apps can tie in to the streaming service.
At first glance, I'm not really sure how much I would use BlinkFeed. I enjoy the concept of a live stream with snackable pieces of content, but I'm pretty set in my ways with how I read news and keep up to date on my social networks. I need to live with BlinkFeed for a couple of weeks to really make up my mind, but it would appear that Google Now will likely offer a better experience for the time being.
It appears that the overall goal of Sense 5 was to make it even easier for new users to pick up and learn. The number of initial homescreens has been reduced to one, icons are larger in the all apps tray, and HTC decided to reduce the number of buttons to two.
The One includes a Back and Home button, while the multitasking button has been removed. Users can long press Home to launch Google Now or double tap Home to bring up recent apps. This might annoy some users who use the multitasking button frequently, but they can still access recent apps with just an extra tap.
HTC Sense TV with IR Blaster
This little known feature might surprise some people, but the HTC One features an IR blaster built into the power button on the top of the phone. After a quick setup, it can be used to control most TVs, set-top boxes, and receivers. We have seen Samsung include this feature on their Galaxy Tab family, but it has not really caught on with smartphones yet.
The HTC Sense TV app provides an interactive program guide that is powered by Peel. So it's nice to see them making a comeback. Smart remote apps still feel like a niche market, but HTC will be the first of several companies to push the trend this year.
Zero-gap Aluminum Unibody Design
Fans of HTC phones will love the design of the One. It stays true to HTC's iconic style, but the materials set it apart from any other Android phone. HTC went with a zero-gap aluminum unibody that feels very high end. Android fans that have been disappointed by HTC and Samsung's plastic phones will really be drawn the the metal body of the One.
Availability and Pricing
The HTC One will be available globally across 185 mobile operators and retailers in more than 80 countries beginning in March. No pricing was announced, but rumors suggest the One could go for $199 with a 2-year contract.
In the US, the HTC One will ship on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Cincinnati Bell. As previously expected, Verizon is absent from the party. Best Buy will also sell the One through their retail stores. No mention was made of an unlocked version for the US, so you will likely have to import the One if you want a pure HTC experience with no carrier interference.

We're watching the final ever episodes of True Blood with Alan Ball at the helm right now — Ball is stepping away for next season. And soon enough, we'll get to see what Community looks like without Dan Harmon as showrunner. In other words, the televisual sky is falling!
But actually, plenty of TV shows have lost their original showrunner and kept on trucking. With mixed results, admittedly. Here are 10 science fiction and fantasy shows that survived a change at the top.
1) Almost every Star Trek show
Gene Roddenberry famously stepped away from being involved with his creation for a while during the second season — and more or less left altogether for the third season, after the show was given the "death slot." His replacement, Fred Freiberger, is frequently blamed for some of the show's most embarrassing excesses in its final season — including "The Way to Eden" (above), which started out as D.C. Fontana's story about Dr. McCoy's daughter. Meanwhile, Roddenberry also stepped back from Star Trek: The Next Generation after he became ill. Later, Michael Piller co-created Deep Space Nine, but left after the first couple of seasons. And Enterprise lost original showrunners Rick Berman and Brannon Braga in its final season, to be replaced with Manny Coto, whose focus on the show's mythos made many fans happier than previous seasons had.
2) Doctor Who
Everybody knows that Doctor Who's amazing longevity is due to its ability to replace its lead actor — but what if the show had fallen apart when David Whitaker left as original script editor? Whitaker was responsible, as much as anybody, for setting the show's tone of exploration and scientific adventure, and he handed over to one of the show's most experienced writers, Dennis Spooner. In more recent years, Russell T. Davies handed over to Steven Moffat, with very little change in the show's popularity.
3) Sliders
This show seems to have had as much upheaval behind the cameras as in front of them. In the first season, Star Trek: TNG veteran Tracy Tormé was the showrunner, and he "had a firm handle on who the characters were and what their world was like," according to writer Lee Goldberg. After one season, Tormé left, to be replaced by Jacob Epstein — who was fired after a season. This resulted in what fans call "the dreaded season three."
4) Supernatural
Original creator and showrunner Eric Kripke had planned to end the show at the end of the fifth season, when the "Lucifer" storyline wrapped up. When The CW pushed for the show to continue, Kripke left, leaving the show's most prolific writer, Sera Gamble, as showrunner with Robert Singer also in charge. After two frequently entertaining but muddled seasons, Gamble also left — and now a new showrunner, Jeremy Carver, is promising to bring the show back to basics.
5) Carnivale
Ronald D. Moore was showrunner for the first season, then he left to go start the Battlestar Galactica reboot. The show continued for a second season, then was cancelled. Says Moore, "it was a very very difficult show. It was a very troubled show and we had problems with the show. The network had problems with the show. There were sort of warring camps among the writers." Moore also joined the writing staff of Roswell with its second season, but existing showrunner Jason Katims also stayed on.
6) Smallville
Original co-creators and showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar left after seven seasons, to be replaced for the final few years by Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders. The result was an even greater focus on DC Universe mythos, with more costumed guest stars and more random shout-outs to lesser-known DC heroes. Depending on how you felt about the fact that everybody except Clark was in costume, it was either a great coda or a weird one.
7) Andromeda
Robert Hewitt Wolfe more or less created this show, based on notes left by Gene Roddenberry — and then was pushed out after two seasons, to make way for a much more "action-oriented" show that managed to last another few seasons. The storylines became a lot more focused on Kevin Sorbo's character Dylan, especially the somewhat odd fifth season in which Dylan Hunt became a god or something.
8) The Walking Dead
Frank Darabont was pushed out as showrunner during season two — famously, just a couple days after he appeared at Comic Con for the show. And his replacement, Glen Mazzara, led the show to a successful second season — with 9 million viewers for the finale. To people who say the second season was too slow-paced and languid after the crazy first year, Mazzara promises the new season will be a "thrill ride."
9) Falling Skies
Original showrunner Mark Verheiden left after the first year — leaving new showrunner Remi Aubuchon with a tricky cliffhanger — Tom Mason choosing to go aboard an alien spaceship. Luckily, Verheiden has stuck around as a writer during season two, including helping to resolve that cliffhanger and writing this coming Sunday's episode.
10) Alphas
Original showrunner Ira Stephen Behr (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) left at the end of season one, and was replaced by Bruce Miller (Eureka, The 4400). Miller promised his new approach to the show would include more drama and more sex, plus a major death.
Thanks to Sean for the article idea!

MATCH Pewter is handmade by artisans in the north of Italy. Each piece is made with an alloy that is lead free and safe for everyday use. Its classic forms harmonize with both traditional and modern settings.
MATCH Stemware and Barware should only be washed by hand and should not be pre soaked in hot water as part of the hand washing process. Due to the different expansion and contraction rates of glass and crystal, and the pewter stems, prolonged immersion in hot water will weaken the bond between bowl and stem.

Construct a sectional that fits your room with the correct dimensions and amount of seating for you and your home. Combine different pieces to build a sectional with pieces that fit your style and space. This flexibility can be fun and allows you to design a room you are proud of while meeting all of your needs.
Comfortable doesn't have to look sloppy. Seat back cushions are fitted with multiple compartments to allow for fiber to be evenly distributed as well as stay in one place helping to eliminate the need for constant rearrangement of pillows.
Interlocking wood forges a sturdy frame that can withstand the heavy use it will receive from being in an important room in your home. Quality construction and long lasting cushions come together in these pieces, giving you the durability you need in your home.
Like the technology in a pillow top mattress, Duracoil cushions have individually wrapped coils in between layers of soy-base foam. This technology enhances the seat of your upholstery by creating a place where you can sit for hours comfortably giving you the resiliency you need.

Hello Everyone! I hope that you've all had a terrific Christmas and New Year break, and are as excited as I am about the possibilities and promise of 2013. I've been absent from Armchair Arcade for too long (again... job-related...), and am working on some articles to remedy that. (I still owe you good people the last article on the Houston Arcade Expo.) For now though, since it's the time of year that people tend get all gooey and sentimental, reflecting on the past so that they might get a better grip on the future, I thought I'd chat a bit about a topic near and dear to our hearts as gamers in the 21st century: SaaS - Software As A Service.
As part of my day-job, I deal with a huge number of different software technologies. These range from Web/Wiki development, to version control systems for software and CAD, to client/server data transfer solutions, to writing software for custom hardware, to system builds and integration, to application-level code... it's a really long list, and I won't bore you with all the gritty digital details. In doing my job, I also get to deal with what's known in the industry as "middleware": External software programs, libraries, and packages, which we use to hook together the various bits and chunks, to create a complete software-system. As such, I get to have all the "fun" of trying to integrate and understand the ragged and often ill-conceived innards of these external bits of software. Most of the time, quite honestly, it's a pain--usually because someone chose the package poorly, picked it for the wrong reasons, chose because they misunderstood what the external software actually DID, got hood-winked by the sales guy, and so on.
As a result of all this "fun" that I get to experience, over the years I've formed some very strong and decidedly contrarian views on the topic of "middleware". Usually, as long as the source code for the external middleware package is available, a solution (no matter how ugly and painful) can be eventually worked out. This is not an option in some cases however, where you license the use of the software, but not access to the source-code--you end up having to deal with the company which wrote the thing originally. They will provide the updates, they will weigh whether or not you've found an internal bug, they will issue fixes and patches... for a fee of course---the very definition of "Software as a Service".
Now, on one level, I don't have a problem with SaaS. It's certainly not a new idea. For my part, I had my first exposure to the concept of "Software as a Service" in my youth. The notion of SaaS as it relates to video games, started in the arcades, really as an extension of the pool-halls and EM (electro-mechanical) pinball machines which pre-dated video games. Fundamentally, it was all based around the notion of 25-cent microtransactions. That's the price they charged to "use" the game-code on any given machine--at least for a while.. It was no different that what IBM had been doing with their huge mainframe-based data- and accounting-systems since the 1950's. Instead of a block of time to crunch your accounting data, you got a block of time to crunch your entertainment data.
Somewhere in there though, the notion of "renting machine-time" and "renting software" began to blur. Just as minicomputers and then microcomputers and PC's pushed into the business world and displaced the mainframe, so too the home-computers and home gaming consoles pushed into the consumer world and displaced the arcade machines and pinball cabs. Hence the notion of a "license", to run the software on your hardware, was born. Still though, people required (and expected) physical media to install said software on all those machines. And so things went for about 25-30 years.
Nowadays, we're in the midst of crossing the next "blurry line".
These questions have been asked before by countless other pundits, so I'm certainly not treading new ground here. Anyone who's read my work here on Armchair knows that I've posed variations of these very questions here on multiple occasions. To be sure, I have issues with SaaS, for all the obvious reasons that those questions raise. But as I drink a few celebratory beers to ring in the New Year, I've been mulling things over again, and come to a strange realization (beer can do that to you...)
It's clear that SaaS bothers me greatly; it's fair to say that it even infuriates me. But I have to ask the obvious question, "WHY is my response so vehemently negative?"
I clearly didn't mind the concept of "renting" or "licensing" video-game software when I slugged quarter after quarter into Ms. Pacman and Defender as a kid. Heck, I still don't mind the idea. I love arcade games and pinball, and will gladly drop a couple quarters into the stray Galaga, PacMan, and DoDonPachi game.
Why then, do I find the idea of SaaS so heinously offensive in other areas? How is spending a couple bucks on pinball, any different than spending a couple bucks on a funky sword or gun-sight upgrade in an MMO? From a certain point of view, you could argue that the money spent in an MMO is actually far more cost-effective as entertainment. That shiny "Helm of Blinding Manliness" is mine to use for the rest of the month at the very least; my extra-lives on Defender will be gone before the hour is out.
This realization, this awareness, has made me uncomfortable. In thinking about it more deeply (beer is also good for introspection, in case you didn't know) I came up with a set of other possible answers to the questions of:
"Why does even the idea of SaaS make me so upset? Why am I not merely mad, but actually offended by SaaS":
"I am altering the bargain... Pray I do not alter it further..."
In the end, I think it's that last item which upsets me the most. Although the whole "Vader thing" is a close second. It strikes me as dishonest, unethical. (I won't make the mistake of saying "illegal", since there are certainly terms in the click-through agreements that basically state the companies can do whatever they want, at any time.) I think this is terrible, and a bad thing for gaming in general.
Now, I am painfully aware that a great number of people feel differently; much differently, as the monetary numbers attributed to World of Warcraft and all the "gold rush" Free-2-Play social / casual games demonstrate. I've read and listened to most of the counter-arguments to my stance. And as I am a libertarian at heart, I ultimately believe in people having the absolute right to decide for themselves what they want to spend--even if it's shortsighted and stupid and will bite them in the ass later.
However, things have started to get interesting recently....
I've groused about Zynga a good deal both here and elsewhere. What has angered me most is the manipulative and frankly evil behavior encouraged and initiated by it's founder, Mark Pincus. When Zynga was started, he openly joked about the horrible ad-ware and spy-ware that got installed onto a user's PC when they attempted to play Zynga games. He freely admitted that he was willing to do anything to get enough funding to get his company started. (Here is a link to an article summarizing his twisted little speech.) Zynga has been, in my eyes, the worst example of "Software as a Service" affecting gaming.
Yet despite my objections, the counter-arguments have generally gone, "..Joe Sixpack doesn't care." This much seems to have been true, judging from the number of people playing, and paying for the various offerings from Zynga. I have had numerous conversations both online and face-to-face about the potential problems inherent in SaaS, particularly with regards to Zynga's utter disregard for ethical behavior. It seems that nearly everyone I have spoken with in the past 4 - 5 years insisted that, "..the popular stuff would hang on. By the time something goes away, most will have moved on to the latest fad."
Thus, it was with some seriously grim satisfaction that I read the following article on Slashdot today. Zynga announced they are shutting down a slew of their on-line game offerings:
We are only beginning to see the, "Oh my gosh! There are consequences for my choices!" reaction from Joe-Sixpack "Casual Gamer" concerning these shutdowns. People are beginning to appreciate the true scope of the loss; the amount of time, effort, and emotional investment poured into "virtual stuff which you don't own." My genuine hope is that, perhaps finally, when the impact hits vast numbers of "average consumer" or the "casual players", the true pitfalls of "Software As A Service" will start to sink into people's collective awareness.
(I'm going to do my very best and try NOT to gloat too much that it's Zynga getting hammered for this in the press and on many web forums. I know that people, a lot of people, are geniunely hurt over these game shutdowns. But I must admit to more than a touch of schadenfreude, bordering on glee, that Zynga not only had a huge financial slide in 2012, but is now facing even more backlash in 2013 resulting from this behavior. I believe in freedom of choice, but I'm very pleased to see the "consequences of actions" also still functions...)
As with all things in life, I believe this is a cycle. I genuinely think this is the beginning of the pendulum swing back towards normalcy; an awareness of the need for some form of "guaranteed ownership", for physical media, for independence from the vagaries of any one company or cartel. My hope is that more gamers get burned, if only so that they may wake up to the reality that too many greedy businesses are treating their customers like ignorant cattle; dumb piggybanks to be flipped over and shaken mercilessly to try and dislodge every last dime.
But like all things, in chaos lies the promise of great change, the possibility of great improvement.
I foresee great opportunities for those businesses which respond properly and decently to the coming backlash. There is now a terrific market for wooing the disenfranchised, disillusioned, and shoddily treated gamers, both hard-core and casual alike. Return to a business model that treats customers like ACTUAL PEOPLE, instead of a "monetizable resource", and a business can do very well I think.
(In the relatively near future, I hope to start doing this very thing... I'll keep you posted on how that unfolds.)
Ok, I suck at making specific predictions, but I have to admit I'm excited about a goodly number of things coming up in the next twelve months:
I think 2013 holds great promise folks. After all, we survived the Mayan Apocalypse!!! So as always, please share your thoughts and comments below. I hope that everyone has a safe and sane remainder of the holiday season. See you again soon.

Kenny Chesney Announces 'The Big Revival' Album Details
Now that 'American Kids' has hit country radio, Kenny Chesney is ready to announce his new album. 'The Big Revival' will drop Sept. 23, and judging by the success of the first single, it'll be one for the books.
The 46-year-old singer took some time off from the road to make sure this forthcoming album would be perfect. So far, he's off to a good start -- 'American Kids' has already topped the iTunes Country chart.
"The whole point of taking the time to get to a really creative place was to have the room to look at not what we'd done, but where we wanted to go," Chesney says in a release. "After all this time, if I can't push myself and give the fans something that inspires them, that gets them pumped up, there's no reason to just make a record to make a record."
Chesney had a hand in co-producing his fifteenth studio album alongside Buddy Cannon. He's also got a slew of guest appearances on the record from artists like Alison Krauss, Dan Tyminski and Grace Potter. The 11 songs on the record go from high-energy to ballads, and the country superstar made sure to push himself for this record.
"I think in anyone's life, there are times when you just need to shake things up, really push yourself and find the thrill of what you do again," Chesney explains. "I went to dirt floor church revivals with my grandma as a little kid, and that power is electric. Scared me to death, but it shows you what it means to be alive. I think bringing that sort of passion to how you live your life is everything -- and it's so easy to lose touch with."
Chesney wanted his music to stand out from the norm in country these days.
"There's so much more to country than trucks, creek beds and cut-offs," he says, laughing. "That stuff is fun, but when you look at how people really dig in and work, the things they face every day, you wanna remind'em how hardcore they really are, show'em that and also show'em that you know there's more to'em than people might think."

Kristen Stewart is only weeks away from leaving behind the world of vampires and werewolves. But with the final "Twilight" film set to hit theaters on the evening of Nov. 15, the actress says she's not shedding tears over the franchise's end.
"I'm so ready to walk away," the 22-year-old said Saturday at a gala screening of what will be her first post-"Twilight" release, "On the Road." "I lived in that world for so long. The story's over. And it's not going anywhere."
Stewart certainly veers far away from the chaste image of "Twilight's" Bella Swan in "On the Road" — an adaptation of Jack Kerouac's famous novel — which shows the actress half-nude. She first read the novel as a teenager and said the story resonated with her because she was at a point in her life where she was discovering her free will.
The actress and many of her costars even embarked on their own road trips to prepare for the film. Garrett Hedlund, who plays Stewart's character's husband, said he traveled everywhere from Canada to Chile to New Orleans before filming got underway. His favorite memory from the road?
"Probably any time we broke down," said Hedlund, 28. "One time, we were two hours outside of New Mexico and we called to get the car fixed, but the mechanic would have to shut down his shop to get to us and it would take him two hours to get to us. So we just laid down on the blacktop and waited for him to arrive."
Hedlund and Stewart were so enamored with "On the Road" that the young actors stayed attached to the project even though it took three years to get off the ground. When Stewart signed on to the movie, she was 17 and said the book made her feel then as it does now: That she doesn't "want to accept anything that [is] easy."
"It's like, 'No, I kind of think that life should kind of be a little bit terrifying.' And if you can ... take it — it's a lot more fulfilling."
"On the Road" opens in limited U.S. release on Dec. 21.

More thann two levels?
Mplus Discussion
Multilevel Data/Complex Sample
posted on Saturday, March 19, 2005 - 8:06 am
for cross-sectional data, is it possible to handle more than two levels with Mplus? I have cross-sectional data and want to model individuals (level 1) within counties (level 2) within states (level 3)?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Saturday, March 19, 2005 - 8:15 am
No, this is not currently possible in Mplus.
Veronique Van ACker
posted on Friday, November 24, 2006 - 7:46 am
Has it now become possible by TYPE = COMPLEX TWOLEVEL ? If yes, is there any example available on this ?
Thanks in advance,
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Friday, November 24, 2006 - 9:32 am
Type = Complex Twolevel is a rather recent additions. I believe it was introduced in the May release of Mplus Versionoption and your study sounds like it will benefit from it.
Yasamin Kusunoki
posted on Tuesday, March 03, 2009 - 11:30 am
So, just to confirm the above conversation, a three-level model can be run by combining complex and twolevel in the Type statement but can only be done in later versions of Mplus, correct? I have version 3. Thank you.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, March 03, 2009 - 1:32 pm
Three cross-sectional levels can be handled by COMPLEX TWOLEVEL which became available in Version 4. Three-level models can also be handled with TWOLEVEL for a repeated measures model.
Sam Vuchinich
posted on Monday, September 14, 2009 - 2:51 pm
Are there any plans for Mplus to have the capability of estimating models with a four-level data structure, either with level-1 being time or not (i.e., four cross-sectional levels)?
Sam Vuchinich
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 - 9:12 am
The next version will accomodate modeling with 3-level data, so that one can have a cross-sectional model of say students within classrooms within schools. This means 4-level modeling if the first level is time given that Mplus uses a multivariate, wide format growth approach.
Mplus also does not add a level for multiple indicators.
Note also the Type = Complex Twolevel option where you can handle 3-level data with the nesting at the top level dealt with by correcting the SEs.
Sam Vuchinich
posted on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 - 10:59 am
Thank you for this useful information. I realize that it is impossible to know exactly when future software upgrades will be available. But could you give a "ballpark" estimate? For example, would it be within the next year, next 2 years, or next 5 years? We are dealing with grant proposal cycles and are interested in when we will be able to utilize Mplus for 4-level analysis?

Dr. Muth�n,
Does that estimated time frame also include non-nested random effects models, i.e. "cross-classified" and "multiple membership" models?
Linda K. Muthen

These will not be in Version 6. They may be in Version 6.1.

Dr. Muthen,
I would like to conduct a "cross-classified 2-level model multigroup CFA" (for testing measurement invariance), this is EXAMPLE 9.11 of the user's guide but for cross-classified data (like pupils are nested within schools, and also within neighborhoods).
Will this be possible in version 6.1 and when will version 6.1 be available?
Haug Leuschner
posted on Sunday, April 25, 2010 - 3:28 pm
Dr. Muthen,
I have ordered Mplus 6 to conduct a "cross-classified 2-level model multigroup CFA". I have "ratings for several stimuli by each observer" (level 1) nested within "country of observer" crossed with "country of stimuli" (level 2). Level 2 is a 3x3 design (3 countries each) for explaining level 1. Is there any workaround available in version 6 (may be a latent variable trick or declaring fixed effects)?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Monday, April 26, 2010 - 8:11 am
Cross-classification is not in Version 6. It is on the list for future development. There has been no date established for Version 6.1.

Beaufort County officials estimate about 33 percent of Bluffton residents would pay higher property taxes at current budget levels after a countywide reassessment, though their neighbors north of the Broad River would shoulder a greater burden.
An analysis prepared for County Council as it begins planning for the fallout of declining assessed values indicates a loss of 13 percent from the approximately $1.8 billion in 2011. An unprecedented decline also raises legal questions about how officials can adjust property tax levels, known as the millage rate, as Beaufort County enters its five-year reassessment.
Residents who see the value of their home increase or decline less than the county average would see higher tax bills, while those with property values falling more than the average would pay less.
Those south of the Broad River, where market sales show harder declines, face slimmer prospects of higher tax bills. About 70 percent of city of Beaufort residents, for instance, would see a property tax hike, while 46 percent of Hilton Head Island residents in Public Service District 1 face higher rates.
"In a decrease countywide, those with less of a decrease than the county average will pick up a greater share of the tax burden," said County Assessor Ed Hughes.
State law maintains specific rules for setting millage rates, generally allowing for increases from inflation and changes in population. But in years of reassessment, the statute - written specifically for rollbacks to compensate for higher property values - sets the rate by dividing the prior year's revenues from the reassessment year's
"No adjustment can be made by statutory rules," said Josh Gruber, staff attorney.
But some Council members, including Chairman Weston Newton, called for a deeper inquiry in light of a S.C. Attorney General analysis that notes the legislature didn't specifically address situations in which overall values decline. The Attorney General's office advised the county to follow the rollback calculation spelled out in the statute, but noted that courts haven't yet addressed the issue, urging the county to "gain clarification."
"I don't think he said anything tonight that we have to maintain the exact level of service and nothing else, and that we must have revenue neutrality," Newton said.
Gruber said the county still has several months to go before home values solidify the revenue picture, but argued Council has no authority to change millage rates in the year after a reassessment.
"The AGs opinion is just that: it's an opinion of how a court might address it," he said.
Without increasing the millage rate to 45.81 from this year's 40.21 for county operations, revenues would drop from about $72 million to about $63 million, said David Starkey, chief financial officer. Revenue for the school district would fall by about $13 million.
A single mil equates to $4 per $100,000 of assessed value after exemptions on owner-occupied homes and $6 per $100,000 for secondary home owners.
Bluffton requires an increase from 38 mils to 46 mils to maintain the same revenue levels from this year.

John Wild joins the Lady Bisons staff as head coach Greg Brown's first hire for the 2012-13 season.
Wild, most recently the head coach at Riverdale High School, joins the Lady Bisons staff with nearly 20 years of coaching experience at the high school and college level.
Wild joined Hilary Maxwell's staff at Riverdale as an assistant coach for the 2010 state champions before taking over as the head coach the following year. He led the Lady Warriors to a state runner-up finish in 2011 before winning the Class AAA state championship last season. Wild's 2012 squad was ranked 11th nationally by USA Today.
Wild began his high school coaching career in 1992, taking over as the boy's basketball head coach at Harpeth High School and holding that position until 1995.
He moved to Moore County in 1995 and led the men's squad to a Tennessee Class A State Championship in 1999.
He became the only coach in Tennessee high school history to win state titles in consecutive seasons with a men's team and a women's team when he left Moore County following the 1999 season and led the Bradford women's team to a Class A title in 2000.
He moved to Class AAA Lawrence County High in 2002, leading the Wildcats to a state runner-up finish in his first season.
After three seasons at Lawrence County, Wild joined Tricia Cullop's staff at Evansville University for the 2004-05 season, his first at the collegiate level. The Purple Aces went 17-11 in Wild's one season on the staff.
He returned to Tennessee as the head coach at Franklin County High in 2005, compiling a 79-49 record and leading the Rebels to three straight regional tournament appearances before departing for Riverdale following the 2009 season.
Wild graduated from Lipscomb in 1990. He and his wife Susan have four children: Slayton, Lane, Kazdin and Kaley.

Using Facebook and Twitter to your advantage
It's easy to talk your way out of your job with social media, but slightly more difficult to talk your way into one. With hundreds of millions of people using social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, the odds are in your favor that you'll be able to find a job opportunity you like. But how to capitalize on those odds? That's a horse of a different color. Here's a look at three easy steps to using your social network to get you a job.
1. Get on(line)
This should be a no brainer, in order to find a job using social media you'll need to actually have an account. There are tons of sites competing for your membership, but the two most relevant in your job search for a part-time job or full-time position will beFacebook and Twitter. It's not about favoritism; they're just the most popular.
When you create your account make sure everything you do or say is workplace appropriate. 70 percent of recruiters say they've used the internet to research potential hires, so you'll need to be sure you cast yourself in the best light possible. Always avoid curse words, risqu? jokes and political commentary.
2. Get out (there)
Think of social networking like a huge party. The more people you talk to, the more people you'll meet and be introduced to. The goal of social networking is to meet as many people as possible, because each introduction is a possible job lead. The best time to social network is when you don't need something. No one likes to be hit up by a virtual stranger for a favor.
Always work on building your social network. Friends from highs school, college, previous jobs, volunteering buddies, relatives or long-time friends are a prime target. Anytime you meet someone offline and have a decent conversation, send them a friend request while it's fresh in their mind. Waiting six months and saying "hey remember we met at that party and talked about that thing you'll never remember" isn't the best way to jog their memory.
3. Get in(volved)
Once you have your social network firmly established (and constantly growing) be sure to leverage your contacts to meet your end goal: finding a job. Talk to friends and see who can hook you up with someone at your dream job. Employee referrals are the number one source of hires for almost every country under the sun. It's truly is about who you know, and having someone to vouch for your ability to do the job you want is the sharpest tool you could have in your toolbox.
If you're willing to look for any job, ask your friends who is hiring. Something as simple as "Anyone know who's hiring in the area?" will probably do the trick. Most people are compelled to feel like they are "in the know" and any good friend will want to hook you up with the inside scoop. But, remember, social networking is a two way street. Once you get that awesome job, be willing to return the favor and help others out in their job search.

So a week or two ago I got suckered in like a sucker to buy not one, not two, but five Laura Geller Sets from QVC.
All have arrived and I have had a chance to road test then to see what is worth keeping and what isn't.
Smoke Signals:
Surprisingly, I really liked this set a lot. The eyeshadow is soft, the lipstick is a retro nude, the mascara isn't for me although it would work if you didnt have stick straight lashes and the powder pencil is soft and smudgy. Overall, it got a good look, and presented great value as a set.
Verdit: KEEPER!
Get Glowing Set:
Hmm. Ethereal Rose is lovely – its nice on the cheeks, its nice all over for a soft pink glow. The kabuki brush is so – so not very soft but nice and hard. Liquid candelight gives a nice radiant look but it is subtle. Hmm. I don't know if I would reach for it since I have Armanis illuminator.
Verdict: Unsure. I like ethereal rose so maybe I will keep it just for that.
Face the Future:
Pffft. Now I like the look of the moisure compound but I got creams coming out of my ears. The trio is….dated? You know what I mean. A highlighter, check. Bronzer. Check. Rose. Check. I don't think I would necessarily every feel the need to reach for this trio.
The spackle trio. I wanted to love this so much! Its so handy after all but – Spackle for the face is gross. Its like rubbing your face in lard. Eye spackle is very very light – I don't know how black ladies are supposed to use it without looking like racoons. I tested it today and nope – my eyeshadow creased in a few hours. Lip spackle. A concealer shade – I normally like nude but this totally blanched out my lips and my gloss didn't show over it.
Verdict: RETURN!
A scrub and lip gloss/balm. The scrub is nice but not grainy enough if you ask me. You have to really work at it and I didnt notice any dead skin coming off – I prefer a bit more of a proper scrub but I liked the peppermint. The balm is a gimmicky balk and closs combined. I love the gimmick. The product is………ok. Its just ok.
Verdict: Mmmm not sure yet. If kitties have chewed up the box, I'll keep it.
Finally – todays special value:
This is a great kit. 2 baked face powders – the bronze is great, and altho I am not fond of the plum on the eyeshadow liner pot, I still like the black side. The brushes are handy. I am not keen at all on the dated red lipgloss, and the mascara does nothing for me tho it does come in a very cute tube. This was about £29 which is great value!
Verdict: Keeper, of course!
What do you guys think about Laura Geller. Overall I think her ranges are great but some products are a little dated. I love the baked powders a lot but I think the spackle is crapalicious. Well, you can't have everything!

The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Skilling v. United States fundamentally altered the landscape of 18 U.S.C. § 1346 honest services fraud and public corruption prosecutions. Cases and clients at every stage of the criminal adjudication process are affected by the Skilling decision and the uncertain state of law. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice and other organizations are lobbying for a Skilling-fix. NACDL opposes such a fix and any attempts to restore a limitless honest service fraud statute.
Resources on honest services fraud and public corruption, including press, programs, and legislative developments, are provided below.

LYNDHURST, N.J. – Lyndhurst officials are basking in the glow of recognition given to members of the borough police department through a prestigious award from The New Jersey Narcotics Enforcement Officers Association.
The NJNEOA selected the department's Patrol/CriminaI Investigation divisions for this year's Individual Guns, Gangs, and Narcotics Law Enforcement Award.
"I couldn't be prouder of our police department," said Public Safety Director John Montillo. "From our police chief down, we have extremely talented and dedicated individuals who help to keep our community and residents safe."
The LPD individual recipients include Sgt. Richard Pizzuti, Detectives Vincent Auteri and Ron Guirland, and Officers Nick Abruscato, Chris Cuneo, Rob Fernandez, Charles Giangeruso, Paul Haggerty, William Kapp, Tom McSweeney, Steve Passamano, and Phil Reina.
"The NJNEOA recognizes those individuals who exhibit a high degree of professionalism, integrity and dedication, above and beyond the call of duty," Chief James O'Connor said. "The members of our department work and train hard every day.
"Serving our residents and community are what it's all about."

Are you satisfied with how the U.S. is being governed? If not, you have lots of company. In fact, you are part of an overwhelming majority of Americans. This chart from Gallup, via Ann Althouse, is fascinating:
Americans' dissatisfaction with our government well exceeds anything we saw during the Bush administration, and positively dwarfs the dissatisfaction that preceded Richard Nixon's resignation. Barack Obama's election represented a brief respite from a declining trend that started around 2003. But, as in so many areas, Obama hasn't bucked the trend, he has made it worse. Richard Nixon improved attitudes toward government by resigning; maybe Obama should do the same.

Here is my newest nail art design. I was inspired by a sweater that I have & wanted to create nails to match my winter wardrobe. I had this idea floating around in my head back since Fall and was unpaitently waiting for Winter weather to do this design.
Gray Color: Sally Hansen "Wet Cement"
White Color: Konad Special Polish "White"
Black Color: Konad Special Polish "Pearl Black"
Image Plates Used: BM204 & BM20
A few days after I went over this mani with Essie's "Matte About You." I think I might actually like this design more with a matte finish.
About a week ago we had some light snow fall followed by freezing rain. Everything outside looked so pretty and was covered with a thin sheet of ice. As you can see in the second picture, there is ice around each individual pine needle. The ice blue glitter nails went perfectly with the weather.
Polishes Used: Deborah Lippmann "Just Dance" & Wet'n'Wild "Believe me, it's real"
So for some updates. Sorry I haven't been posting lately. I am taking block courses at college which are only 7 weeks long. Between work, 5 hour classes, and homework, I am struggling to find time to not only do my nails, but getting any spare time during the day to take pictures.
There is some good news though! I finally got a camera, but not just any camera. I finally caved in and bought a DSLR camera, a Canon Rebel T3i to be exact. I hope you noticed the quality of the pictures has upgraded from my last ones. At this time I only have the kit lenses, but I have a macro lens on my wish list which will really take my polish and nail art pictures to the next level.
I promise to start updating more! I am editing pictures now for another post I have coming up which features soft spring colors. I also have a DIY project I am dying to show you! I finished editing the pictures for the tutorial part, but I need to wait until Saturday morning to take pics of the final product. While I am at it, I am going to try to come up with a nail art design to match the bracelet, but we will see how that goes.

|Safe Haskell
This module defines the data type of internal regular expression pattern, | as well as the partial derivative operations for regular expression patterns.
- data Pat
- strip :: Pat -> RE
- pdPat :: Pat -> Letter -> [Pat]
- type Binder = IntMap [Range]
- toBinder :: Pat -> Binder
- listifyBinder :: Binder -> [(Int, [Range])]
- pdPat0 :: Pat -> Letter -> [(Pat, Int -> Binder -> Binder)]
- pdPat0Sim :: Pat -> Letter -> [(Pat, Int -> Binder -> Binder)]
- nub2 :: Eq a => [(a, b)] -> [(a, b)]
regular expression patterns
|PVar Int [Range] Pat
variable pattern
pattern without binder
|PPair Pat Pat
pair pattern
|PChoice Pat Pat GFlag
choice pattern
|PStar Pat GFlag
star pattern
|PPlus Pat Pat
plus pattern, it is used internally to indicate that it is unrolled from a PStar
|PEmpty Pat
empty pattern, it is used intermally to indicate that mkEmpty function has been applied.
|Eq Pat Source #
The Eq instance for Pat data type NOTE: We ignore the 'consumed word' when comparing patterns (ie we only compare the pattern structure). Essential for later comparisons among patterns.
|Show Pat Source #
|Pretty Pat Source #
|Key Pat Source #
|IsGreedy Pat Source #
|Simplifiable Pat Source #
mainly interested in simplifying epsilon, p --> p could be made more optimal, e.g. (epsilon, epsilon) --> epsilon
|IsPhi Pat Source #
|IsEpsilon Pat Source #
pdPat :: Pat -> Letter -> [Pat] Source #
pdPat computes the partial derivatives of a pattern w.r.t. a letter.
Integrating non-greedy operator with PStar
For p*, we need to unroll it into a special construct
say PPlus p' p* where p' in p/l.
When we push another label, say l' to PPlus p' p*, and
p' is emptiable, naively, we would do
[ PPlus p'' p* | p'' <- p' l ] ++ [ PPlus (mkE p') (PPlus p''' p*) | (PPlus p''' p*) <- p*l ]
Now the problem here is the shape of the pdpat are infinite, which
breaks the requirement of getting a compilation scheme.
The fix here is to simplify the second component, by combining the binding, of (mkE p') and p'''
since they share the same set of variables.
[ PPlus p'' p* | p'' <- p' l ] ++ [ PPlus p4 p* | (PPlus p''' p*) <- p*l ]
where p4 = combineBinding (mkE p') p'''
For pdPat0 approach, we do not need to do this explicitly, we simply drop
(mkE p') even in the PPair case. see the definitely of pdPat0 below
type Binder = IntMap [Range] Source #
Binder type denotes a set of (pattern var * range) pairs
type Binder = [(Int, [Range])]
pdPat0 is the
abstracted form of the
pdPat function
It computes a set of pairs. Each pair consists a
shape of the partial derivative, and
an update function which defines the change of the pattern bindings from the
source pattern to
the resulting partial derivative. This is used in the compilation of the regular expression pattern
