Is it too early to think about who's running for president in 2016, three years from now?
Not in Washington, a city with more campaign consultants than dry cleaners.
After all, we're talking about a business that raised and spent more than $2 billion, employed thousands of people and consumed more than two years of planning, fundraising and campaigning during the last presidential election. And that was for a race in which Democrats knew who their nominee would be. This time, both parties have a wide-open field, at least in theory.
Some of the politicians being talked about are unlikely to run, but that doesn't mean they don't love to hear their names mentioned. A presidential campaign is long, expensive, punishing and sometimes even humiliating. But a presidential flirtation is none of those things. A politician's prestige and power only grow when he or she is mentioned as White House material.
So who is being mentioned?
Let's start with the Democrats. Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has opened a prohibitive lead in the early polls, with support from 66% of Democratic voters in an NBC poll released Tuesday, against 14% for all other candidates combined. That's a much bigger lead than Clinton held in polls three years before the 2008 campaign. And Clinton even has a campaign organization in waiting, a group called Ready for Hillary, which, though not officially authorized, is raising money, commissioning polls and collecting names of volunteers.
But none of that has stopped Democrats from talking about other possible candidates. This week's heartthrob was Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who starred in a long article in the New Republic that cast her as everything thoroughgoing progressives could want.
Warren insists she isn't running. The Boston Globe quoted the senator as saying: "No, no, no, no, no." But that ambiguous wording "leaves Warren plenty of room to start running if she chooses," the Globe noted.
Democratic campaign strategists have reason to think about potential alternatives: Clinton's health remains a question mark. She collapsed from apparent exhaustion last year during her final months as secretary of State. If she decides not to run for personal reasons, her party will need someone in the wings.
Luckily, there are several Democrats who think they ought to be considered. Vice President Joe Biden stands ready, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean has talked about running and Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley is angling for a place in the race.
Meanwhile, Republicans in Iowa are having a difficult time scheduling enough dinners to accommodate all of the potential candidates who want to visit in advance of the state's 2015 straw poll. Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Marco Rubio of Florida and Rand Paul of Kentucky have already dropped by; so have former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania and Gov. Rick Perry of Texas.
About the only big-name Republicans who haven't visited Iowa recently are Govs. Chris Christie of New Jersey and Scott Walker of Wisconsin, but that doesn't mean they aren't serious contenders. "We're in the age of the Fox News primary now," one GOP strategist told me. "Candidates don't have to go to Iowa every week."
Christie jumped to the top of the polls with his landslide reelection in New Jersey this month. And as the new chairman of the Republican Governors Assn., he'll soon oversee a war chest that could top $140 million for statehouse campaigns next year.
But Tuesday's NBC poll revealed a potential problem for Christie, the most moderate of the leading Republican possibilities: His appeal may not travel outside his home turf. The New Jerseyan drew support from 57% of Republicans in the Northeast but only 22% of Republicans in the West.
The GOP strategist — who asked not to be identified, partly because he hasn't committed to a candidate yet — predicted a three-way race among Christie, Walker and Paul.
David Carney, who managed Perry's 2012 campaign, thinks it's still too early to predict who the front-runners will be.
"Any time you have an open seat, lots of people are going to want to test the waters," he said. "I'd bet we have 20 people see what the market's like" — and that's just on the Republican side. (His list of potential candidates also includes Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Santorum and Perry.)
"We've had an heir apparent in almost every presidential race since Eisenhower," Carney noted of the GOP, which has frequently given its nomination to a candidate who came in second place before. "That's not true this time."
Do any of those candidates look like presidential material? Not to former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who looked at the field this week and sniffed: "There's no Ronald Reagan."
But one or two of them will grow on us. They always do.
By this time a year from now, several of those names will have made their candidacies official. By this time two years from now, they'll be campaigning in earnest for the Iowa caucuses.
And by this time only three years from now, we'll have elected a new president — at which point we'll start speculating about the 2020 race.

Study: Whites more likely to get antidepressant prescription than African-Americans, Hispanics
(CBS News) If you're Caucasian, you're more likely to get a prescription for antidepressants than your Hispanic and African-American counterparts, new research shows.
A study published in last month's International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine said that Caucasians were 1.52 times more likely to receive antidepressant medication over Hispanic and African-American patients also being treated for major depressive disorders.
"This study confirmed previous findings that sociological factors, such as race and ethnicity, and patient health insurance status, influence physician prescribing behaviors," lead researcher Dr. Rajesh Balkrishnan, associate professor in University of Michigan School of Public Health, said in the press release. "This is true in particular for major depressive disorder treatment."
Researchers also found out that while race didn't play a role in what type of antidepressant was prescribed, Medicare and Medicaid patients were 31 and 38 percent less likely to receive a prescription. And, if they did get one, more than half of the time it was for an older generation antidepressant.
The newer generation of medications, like such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), are considered the first-line treatment for major depression. Oder antidepressants, which include monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), carry more side effects.
"We want the policy to motivate physicians to adhere to clinical practice guidelines better," study co-author Dr. Hsien-Chang Lin told The Atlantic. "Health disparities, especially with ethnic groups, can be helped with better access to healthcare and by having more insured people."
But, race may play more a factor than just the physician's prescribing choice. Loretta Jones, founder and executive director of Healthy African American Families, who has spent 30 years studying minority health policy, said to The Atlantic that African-Americans are less likely to take antidepressants because they are less likely to ask for them and don't want to be considered "crazy."
Brenda Wesley, a trained mental health educator and facilitator with the advocacy organization, National Alliance on Mental Illness in Milwaukee, also pointed to cultural disparities, telling the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel that many minorities don't seek help for depression-related issues until they are in a "crisis mode." When they do seek help, Wesley said, doctors might see the elevated symptoms and misdiagnose patients with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.
Jones also pointed out that African-Americans are more likely to be seen in clinics and centers where doctors don't have time to spend with their patients, which coincided with study's findings that physicians who had seen the patients before were 1.4 times more likely to prescribe antidepressants.
Said Jones, "Until the National Institute of Mental Health puts down a policy, and says treat all patients this [one] way the [healthcare discrepancies] will continue."

When one thinks of yoga, he or she often pictures a room full of young, limber people twisting their bodies into positions called "cat pose" and "downward dog."
But Beverly Weinstein's classes are different. Because her focus is on relaxation and stretching, she calls her practice "Ageless Yoga."
Weinstein's parents built a house on Oak Island in the '60s. She grew up in Brunswick County and attended Southport High School.
After graduation, she moved to Wilmington and attended Cape Fear Technical Institute and Wilmington College. She had relocated to Vienna, Va., and lived there until she moved back to Oak Island earlier this year.
While living in Virginia, Weinstein began taking yoga classes.
"Little did I know, it was the passion I had been searching for my entire life," she said. "I just felt like I was ready to do something different. I have always been active with exercise, and I had never made a New Year's resolution until that year. I said, 'I am going to start exercising again, and I am going to find something new to do.'"
After she made that resolution, she received a Groupon for yoga and decided to try it. She enjoyed it so much she kept attending the classes and purchased a membership.
After her parents passed away, Weinstein and her husband, Ronnie, began remodeling their house, which is located just five minutes from Island Healing Chiropractic Center on Oak Island.
Because she knew her husband and she would soon be moving to the area, Weinstein began her yoga teacher training at Wilmington Yoga Center. She completed the school's 220-hour yoga teacher certification program and is currently working on her 500-hour certification.
Weinstein said in her study of yoga, she noticed most classes offered little for senior citizens and class offerings in the area were limited.
"That's what sparked me to start Ageless Yoga," she said. "Being a senior myself, I felt classes tended to be geared more toward the 70 percent of the yoga student population, ages 54 and younger—not seniors," she said.
She sought to address this need by earning certifications in yoga for seniors and restorative yoga. She sought to teach classes that would embrace "the mind, body and spirit for all ages."
One of Weinstein's areas of concentration, restorative yoga, is a therapeutic approach that uses props to attain a supportive environment for total "active relaxation." According to Weinstein, the extra support allows for a deeper sense of relaxation. She defines relaxation as "a state where there is no movement, no effort, and the brain is quiet."
Restorative yoga moves at a slower pace than traditional yoga, and the poses are maintained for a longer period of time, allowing the nervous system to enter into a relaxed state.
"The practice of restorative is meditative—not meditation—because a person can do what he or she chooses to do during that time," she said. "It's about opening your body and relaxing your mind, and hopefully, turn off the chatter in your mind.
"Relaxing is like peeling an onion—you have to peel away one layer at a time in order to achieve that point of total relaxation."
In an effort to give back to the community, Weinstein is offering free restorative yoga classes every Sunday in June. Those who wish to attend must pre-register by calling Island Healing Chiropractic at 278-5877.
Weinstein and her "yoga buddy," instructor Mandi Betz, will lead the restorative workshops and be on hand to assist participants. All props are provided, and all levels are welcome.
In the future, Weinstein plans to offer other workshops and classes with an occasional free community class. Those interested may check the schedule on the Island Healing website at www.islandhealingchiropractic.com

Valve trains for passenger cars
Further optimization of the gas exchange in combustion engines is critical for complying with future emissions and fuel consumption targets while meeting the challenging requirements for efficiency in modern four-stroke combustion engines. This applies to both gasoline and diesel engines. The valve train plays a key role in this respect.
Valve train systems control the gas exchange, which means that they represent a significant opportunity for optimizing the combustion process. The components of the valve train system are subjected to high loads. In addition to wear due to mechanical forces, increasing combustion pressures and temperatures, in particular, place greater demands on the materials and heat dissipation of components on the combustion side.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Police in Maryland say a man who called himself "a joker" and threatened to shoot up his workplace was in the process of being fired.
Police say the 28-year-old man was taken into custody Friday morning. Investigators said he was wearing a T-shirt that said "Guns don't kill people. I do." He was taken into custody for an emergency mental health evaluation and charges are pending.
An official with knowledge of the investigation told The Associated Press that Neil Prescott of Crofton, Md., phoned in the threat to software and mailroom supplier Pitney Bowes near Washington, D.C. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is unfolding and police would not confirm the suspect's name.
Police say they considered the threat significant especially since a gunman in Colorado killed 12 people in a shooting during the latest Batman movie.

The time has come for Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth to power down.
We don't say this lightly. As one of the largest employers in the region, it's a vital part of the local economy. In these challenging economic times, even more so. Local municipalities as far away as Marshfield reap both federal grants because of its presence, as well as annual emergency planning funds from Pilgrim's parent company, Entergy. We realize how much the region depends on it for its energy needs – it generates about 14 percent of Massachusetts' electricity. It it will be a challenge to replace.
But replace it we must.
In 2013 alone, Pilgrim was off- line for 80 days, 46 of those days from scheduled refueling and maintenance. Twice last year, the plant had unplanned shutdowns, most recently on Oct. 14 when the plant lost power from a 345-kilovolt NStar line that provides electricity to the plant. It was down for a week.
Last August, a Pentagon report highlighting the vulnerability of U.S. nuclear power plants to terrorist attacks stated Pilgrim was one of eight plants most at risk for a terrorist strike from the water. This is no hysterical posturing in light of what some officials described as a terrorist attack on a California electrical substation in April 2013.
In December, Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley wrote the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the federal agency which licenses nuclear power plants, asking it to address the issue of spent fuel rods. Pilgrim has more than 500 metric tons of spent fuel in pools, or 3,222 fuel assemblies. The plant is licensed for only 3,859 fuel assemblies.
As Dave Lochbaum, a nuclear engineer and the director of nuclear safety at the Cambridge-based Union of Concerned Scientists, pointed out at the time, the reason this is a critical issue is the "what if": What if after a plant is closed, radioactive water leaks from the pools? Our what ifs are: What if it leaks into Cape Cod Bay? The Atlantic? Our drinking water?
Just last month, Entergy alerted the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the federal agency which oversees all nuclear power plants, that radioactive tritium was discovered in a newly installed groundwater monitoring well at the plant. While Entergy reported that the initial reading was found to be at an elevated level, subsequent tests found it had dropped. It still isn't certain of the source.
And earlier this week, it was confirmed that the NRC would downgrade Pilgrim by month's end – its second downgrade in three months.
This came after NRC Chair Allison Macfarlane toured the plant in November. At that time, Macfarlane said the NRC has closed down other nuclear plants for poor performance and likened Pilgrim to the Fort Calhoun nuclear station in Nebraska – shut down by the federal agency two years ago. The oldest nuclear power station in the U.S. is Oyster Creek in New Jersey. It opened in 1969, just three years before Pilgrim, and is scheduled to power down in 2019 after its share of problems.
Now it's time for Entergy, the NRC and the region to accept that Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station is in its sunset years and make plans for its eventual powering off. It will take time and planning to ensure it's done safely, with a conscientious nod toward the state's energy needs and its impact on the local economies. Yet it must be done.
The cumulative effect of all of these issues – some troubling, some outright alarming – cannot be ignored. Entergy should close Pilgrim in a safe, orderly manner before that option is removed and an inevitable event forces its shutdown permanently.

Maybin to finally reach his 10+ sack potential.
Demario Davis is my rookie pick. Dude's gonna be in the starting lineup by the end of the season.
Who's the vet that steps up big and makes the world take notice?
Also, who's the rookie who makes a huge impact by the end of the year?
(you can't pick Hill or Coples)
I got Wilkerson to take a big step, and I think Antonio Allen will see significant time on the field by the end of the year.
Maybin to finally reach his 10+ sack potential.
Demario Davis is my rookie pick. Dude's gonna be in the starting lineup by the end of the season.
Greene and Tebow on offense.
Maybin on defense.
I'm going to go with:
Rookie: Hill
Defense: Harris (first Pro Bowl)
Offense: Sanchez
Maybin is going to be the breakout vet.
I think that Hill will get off to a very fast start before teams just start playing way off of him, leading to a big contract year for Keller.
I think Demario Davis will have a more and more prominent role as the season goes on and we start to phase Bart Scott out of the defense.
Considering I was a lineman myself, I usually throw my support behind them.
Mangold on offense, Mo Wilk on defense.
It seems like everyone thinks Maybin is due for a big year. I agree.
If I had to pick another veteran to have a "breakout" year, it would be Wilson.
For the rookies, Hill obviously... but also Allen sounds like a player. Looking for him to contribute.
Vet = Sanchez. I like other vets to have better years but I picked Sanchez because we need him. We only go as far as our QB takes us.
Rookie = Demario Davis no question!
White, and Baker on offense. Landry on defense. He's going to surprise everyone with how well he can cover a TE.
Rookie = white
Vet = shonn Greene
Sapp - been touting him since last season since they signed him to the PS and with teams focusing on Maybin, Wilk and Coples, I think Sapp should be freed up...
AAllen - I like him in the draft..
Last edited by C Mart; 08-07-2012 at 08:11 PM.
I'm the biggest Joe McKnight defender here, but if Bilal Powell beats him out, I'll throw-up Joe like 3 years ago.
Rookie is Jordan White. Guy caught a million balls in college, something's gotta be special there. But I love Davis.
Having said that, I think Mark Sanchez has a very nice year and becomes the undisputed leader of this team.
Future Pro-bowler.
On defense Maybin I think is gonna have double digit sacks
On offense I'm gonna say Baker is gonna have a breakout year.
Mayhem with 10+ sacks. And Demario Davis comes on strong in 2nd half of the season,
Offense: Nick Mangold 2nd. Josh Brown...because our offense is that bad.
Defense: Yeremiah Bell
Greene and Allen for a rookie. I also truly believe Hunter shows a lot of improvement and is no longer a liability.

The sequester would trigger $85 billion in spending reductions over the final seven months of the federal fiscal year, split equally between defense and non-defense programs. Exemptions would include Social Security, Medicaid and Food Stamps, with Medicare absorbing a smaller percentage cut - 2 percent compared to 8 percent for the Pentagon.
The cuts would total nearly $1 trillion over the next decade.
"It's a blunt, meat-ax approach that cuts a percentage across the board," said Michael Collins, chancellor of the University of Massachusetts Medical School, of the sequester. His institution is one of many in New England facing a loss of millions of dollars in medical research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The prospective defense cuts pose another major concern for the region. While states with larger military bases and defense installations may suffer more direct and immediate consequences from sequestration, New England is a hotbed for defense-related manufacturing and research by numerous private companies.
James Brett, president and chief executive of The New England Council, estimated that defense supports about 320,000 jobs in the region. A $300 million loss in funding, as one analysis suggests, would cost 3,300 jobs in just the first year of the sequester.
"That would be devastating for our region," said Brett, whose organization describes itself as a nonpartisan alliance of businesses, academic and medical institutions that promotes economic growth in New England.
Several large military contractors, including Waltham, Mass.-based defense giant Raytheon Co., have already sliced revenue forecasts in anticipation of Pentagon spending reductions. But experts say the trickle-down effect could take an even more severe toll on smaller suppliers and research facilities.
"In New England ... defense contracting fuels innovation and education," said Joseph Donovan, a lobbyist who represents nearly a dozen New England companies or academic institutions that benefit directly or indirectly from defense or homeland security contracts.
While some entitlement programs are shielded from the automatic cuts, many other social services programs are not.
Federally-funded programs in Massachusetts that could take hits include heating assistance for low-income residents, for which the state is slated to receive $132.7 million in the current fiscal year, the supplemental nutrition program for Women, Infants and Children ($50 million) and Community Development Block Grants ($27.7 million), according to Gov. Deval Patrick's administration.
The advocacy group Mass Alliance of HUD Tenants said more than 18,000 tenants could be dropped from federal rent subsidies.
Also subject to sequestration: The $50.5 billion Superstorm Sandy relief package recently approved by Congress.
"Nobody wins from sequestration, said Massachusetts Secretary of Administration and Finance Glen Shor. "We are still hopeful that common sense will prevail."
Washington (CNN) -- Upcoming forced government spending cuts will heavily impact the Federal Aviation Administration, triggering flight delays nationwide and control-tower closures at some small airports as soon as April, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Friday.
"Travelers should expect delays," LaHood told reporters in calling for fellow Republicans to work toward compromise to avert the worst impacts of $85 billion in across-the-board cuts set to take effect March 1.
The full impact won't be felt until April as furloughs and other staffing reductions of air traffic controllers come into effect, said LaHood, who has announced his intention to step down from President Barack Obama's Cabinet.
TSA cuts: Longer airport security lines The impact of forced budget cuts Lawmakers weigh in on forced budget cuts
"Flights to major cities like New York, Chicago, San Francisco and others could experience delays of up to 90 minutes during peak hours because we have fewer controllers on staff," LaHood said. "Delays in these major airports will ripple across the country."
In addition, control towers at smaller airports such as Boca Raton, Florida, and Joplin, Missouri, would be closed, he said.
Asked why he was brought to the White House briefing room to address reporters, he said: "I would describe my presence here with one word -- Republican."
"They're hoping that maybe I can influence members of my own party" to compromise with Obama and Democrats on an alternative to the mandatory spending cuts agreed to in a 2011 deal to increase the federal borrowing limit, LaHood said.
LaHood is a former member of the House of Representatives from Illinois.
In a letter to airline associations, the Defense Department and other "aviation colleagues" released on Friday, LaHood said plans under consideration to absorb the mandatory spending cuts included furloughs for most FAA workers, eliminating midnight shifts in 60 control towers and shutting down more than 100 towers at smaller airports.
The FAA operates towers at more than 400 airports nationwide.
FORT SUMTER NATIONAL MONUMENT, S.C. � The looming shutdown of the federal government includes the National Parks Service, which could mean events commemorating the start of the Civil War with a Confederate attack on Fort Sumter may have to happen without the fort itself.
A shutdown would also affect trips to the nation's capital, where the Smithsonian and the National Zoo would be among the first to close, and could cause spring break campers out West to find Yosemite and other parks closed.
If lawmakers can't reach agreement, the National Park Service ceases operations at midnight Friday, shuttering Fort Sumter in the middle of Charleston Harbor just days before events marking the 150th anniversary of the first shots of the war. The Union garrison on the island surrendered after a Confederate bombardment on April 12, 1861.
"It's a very special event and it would be very sad if something like that happened," said Chris Kimmel of Harrisburg, Pa., who visited the fort Wednesday as a chaperone with a group of high school students from another town tied to the war, Gettysburg, Pa.
Events for the anniversary have been planned for years. Hundreds of Union and Confederate re-enactors plan to stay in Forts Sumter and Moultrie, another Park Service site across the harbor, during a week of events.
If there is a shutdown, plans will move forward to re-enact the bombardment Tuesday with about 30 cannons ringing the harbor from sites not on federal land.
"I'm shocked. This is a pivotal event in the nation's history," said Jeff Antley, who is coordinating arrangements for an estimated 1,000 re-enactors coming to the city. "You can't say we're going to reschedule for May. The money has been spent. The uniforms have been bought. The travel arrangements have been made."

(Reuters) - Merck & Co said on Friday it will pay $100 million to resolve all U.S. product liability lawsuits alleging it downplayed serious health risks involving its NuvaRing intrauterine contraceptive device.
The product, which contains the hormones estrogen and progestin commonly found in birth control bills, is associated with an increased risk of developing blood clots that can cause heart attacks, strokes or sudden deaths. Available to women in the United States since 2001, NuvaRing is one of several contraceptive products linked to this higher risk.
Merck, the second-biggest U.S. drugmaker, denied any fault under the agreement, which must be accepted by 95 percent of about 3,800 eligible patients involved in lawsuits pending in federal and state courts.
A lawyer for the plaintiffs, Roger Denton of Schlichter, Bogard and Denton, said the settlement, reached after nearly a year of negotiations, is "an outstanding result and in the best interests of all the women who have suffered an injury associated with the use of Nuvaring."
Under the settlement, Merck would pay a fraction of what at least one company has paid in a similar settlement.
German drugmaker Bayer AG said last year it had paid nearly $1.6 billion to settle thousands of lawsuits involving accusations that its Yaz and Yazmin birth control pills caused blood clots that led to strokes and heart attacks.
Merck shares were up 1 percent at $54.32 on the New York Stock Exchange, in line with a 1.2-percent advance in the ARCA Pharmaceutical Index of large U.S. and European drugmakers.

15 Ways to Stop Obsessing
For as long as I can remember, I've struggled with obsessive thoughts, with severe ruminations that can interfere with daily life. My thoughts get stuck on something and, like a broken record, repeat a certain fear over and over and over again until I scream out loud, "STOP IT!" The French call Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) "folie de doute," or "the doubting disease." And that's what obsessions are—a single doubt caught in an endless loop of thoughts.
But even those not diagnosed with OCD can struggle with obsessions. In fact, I have yet to meet a depressive who doesn't ruminate, especially in our age of anxiety. Every day gives sensitive types like myself plenty of material to obsess about. So I'm constantly pulling out the tools that I've acquired over time to win against my thoughts, to develop confidence--the antidote for doubt--to take charge of my brain, and to STOP OBSESSING. I hope they work for you too.
Read the first way to stop obsessing.

An indoor training session will be held at Larkhill on Wednesday, 11 February, commencing 10:00hrs. Whilst this event is primarily aimed at existing squad members, Units are requested to identify any new talent (playing, officiating and administrative) at the earliest opportunity. Cricket Officers should contact the Secretary.
The training session will be followed by a 'bonding' exercise and a short cricket tour to the Maldives (Secretary speak for a curry). We are building our strongest challenge for the Inter Corps T20 and Power Cup Competitions, plus the Gunner-Sapper match, in this, the Club's 250th year. We will also participate in part of the UBIQUE 300 celebration, in February 2016, when the Club tours Australia. Personal performance this year will be key to inclusion in the tour squad.
The AGM will be held at HQ 1 Arty Bde at 10:00hrs on Thursday, 12 February. Attendees should confirm participation with the Secretary. The Agenda and other information will be posted, on the website, nearer the above date.
The Wiltshire Association of Cricket Officials (WACO) has released provisional details of its 2014-15 winter training courses. An email, which has been sent to all Club Secretaries, Co-ordinators and Development Officers, is attached to this posting. The email contains links to Course resources and details of dates, venues and costs. Should you be interested in attending a course, follow the link for further information. As usual, please remember to log-in to view and download the attachment.
The friendly fixture, between RACC and Free Foresters, on Sunday, 27 July, has been cancelled. This was to have been the final Gunner match of the season, however, our opponents have not been able to raise a team and, consequently, the match will not take place.
The Cup has returned to The Sharp Ground, Larkhill, after the victorious Gunners won the 150th Anniversary Match by 157 runs.
This was a match that truly lived up to the hype and billing. This was a match that had everything. This was a match at which our historic sparring partners, The Sappers, outshone themselves with their admin, facilities, catering, hospitality and après cricket fun. This will be a very hard act to follow and our thanks, gratitude and appreciation cannot be understated. A massive thank you, to all, for all the hard work that was involved.
In a season which the Gunners hadn't produced a single century, or a single 5-for, this was all to change in a single match. Graham Wiseman, batting at 3, scored 157 in the first innings, providing the major contribution to the Skipper's timely declaration at 8-327. Crucial to final victory, Charlie Harmer and Michael Cook, the latter in only his first Gunner-Sapper match, both took 5 wickets in the 2nd Sapper innings.
There was the usual mix of easy catches dropped and spectacular catches taken, by both sides. An array of beautifully placed drives and cuts, ugly edges and ridiculous smashes, combined with bowling which ranged from the tediously accurate to the wildly optimistic.
There were moments of very good fortune and very bad. Umpire decisions which were competently made and, just occasionally, left the spectators wondering what the umpires had seen that they hadn't. This was a game that had everything and one in which the Spirit of the Game prevailed.
Some personal performances must be highlighted. These are:
Royal Engineers CC
Jacques Prinsloo took 10 wickets in the match, 4 in the 1st RACC innings, 6 in the 2nd.
Ian Redfern, Chris Needham and Steve Ryder all made half centuries.
Royal Artillery CC
Charlie Harmer took 7 wickets, 2 in the 1st RECC innings, 5 in the second.
Michael Cook took 7 wickets, 2 in the 1st RECC innings, 5 in the second.
Graham Wiseman made 157 runs in the 1st innings, equal to the margin by which the Gunners won the match.
In après cricket, Sapper entertainment was unparalleled. Zorbing (don't ask) took place after the first day's play with a total disregard for regulations and playing conditions; outstanding! Night 2 provided the most spectacular light show imaginable. Lightning of every description and intensity was on display; truly awesome! (Note to RECC Hon Sec - it would have been even better without the rain).
Our last game, this year, and a really splendid way for the curtain to fall on the 2014 season. The Free Foresters are our guests, at the Sharp Ground, on Sunday, 27 July. Play will commence at 11:00 in this friendly, time game.
Ben Kent has returned from injury is already preparing the pitch for the final game.
As usual, the squad list and admin letter are attached to this posting. Login is required to view and download this documentation. Squad members are reminded to contact the Secretary, with their availability, or otherwise, as soon as possible.
The final of the Power Plate competition will be played at ACA Aldershot on Monday, 21 July. Play commences at !!:00. A rather odd coincidence caused both teams to reach the final without playing a semi final; the respective opposing teams having conceded the game.
As usual, the squad list and admin letter are attached to this posting. Login is required to view and download this documentation. Squad members are reminded to contact the Secretary, with their availability, or otherwise, as soon as possible.
The Gunners will, this year, visit Chatham for the 183rd occurrence of the most celebrated cricket match in the British Army. Play will commence at 11:00 on Wednesday, 17 July.
The squad list and admin letter are, as usual, attached to this posting; remember to log in to view and download. However, on this special occasion, both take the form of a personal letter from the Chairman, RACC, Brigadier JMJ Bennett OBE.
Tomorrow's semi final will no longer be played. AAC has conceded the match through its failure to raise a team. RACC now progresses to the final. Further information on the final will be posted as soon as it is available.
RACC will now take the opportunity to train, tomorrow, at Larkhill, in preparation for the 183rd Gunner-Sapper match. Players and squad members are requested to contact the Secretary, immediately, to confirm availability.
The friendly match, on Sunday 06 July, has been cancelled. Unfortunately, our visitors have found it impossible to raise a team.
Gloucester Gypsies CC will visit Larkhill on Sunday, 06 July, for a rematch after last year's draw at Stowell Park. This is an important game for players as competition is fiercely contested for a place in the 183rd Gunner-Sapper match, later this month.
As usual, the squad list and admin letter are attached to this posting. Login is required to view and download this documentation. Squad members are reminded to contact the Secretary, with their availability, or otherwise, as soon as possible.

How many degrees of freedom?
Mplus Discussion
Multilevel Data/Complex Sample
Florian Fiedler
posted on Wednesday, June 08, 2005 - 5:23 am
I've got a question concerning the degrees of freedom in a twolevel-analysis. I'm conducting a 2-Level-CFA, incorporating 6 variables and two correlated factors on each level. The output indicates that there are 32 free parameters in the model (I agree to that number). With 6 observed continous variables, how many degrees of freedom does the model have (6*7-32=10?)? According to the MPlus-information in the chi-square test of model fit section I should have 16 degrees of freedom. Where do those 6 dfs stem from or where am I wrong?
Thank you for an explanation.
Regards, Florian Fiedler.

You should count the 6 means as well - because you work with multivariate normality, the H1 model has 6 means and 2x21 var-covar parameters.

I am running a TWOLEVEL model with 3 Level 2 predictors and 1 Level 1 covariate. How can I determine the df for the t-test of each Level 2 predictor? There are 27 Level 2 clusters.
Thanks so much for your help.

The ratio of the parameter estimate to the standard error (column three of the output) is a z-score. You can compare it to 1.96 for example.

I am using TYPE=TWOLEVEL RANDOM to model relationships between 1 individual-level predictor and 2 group-level predictors and a continuous individual-level outcome. I need to report the degrees of freedom for each of the effects, but I notice that these are not provided in the Mplus output. What is the formula for calculating degrees of freedom in a multilevel model such as the one I've described?
Thank you!

In a model where means, variances, and covariances are not sufficient statistics for model estimation, degrees of freedom for the chi-square test are not relevant.

Sorry I should have specified - I am actually trying to obtain the degrees of freedom for the t-tests for each of my effects.

The test we give is a z-test in large samples and does not use degrees of freedom.

posted on Saturday, February 01, 2014 - 2:00 am
I am also being told that degrees of freedom should be included in statistics reported in text.
I have two-level models where I test interactions between two contextual variables (thus, interactions are at Level 2). I report results for my simple slopes (at high and low values of the moderator) in the text. What is the correct way to calculate degrees of freedom for my simple slopes? Is it N (number of level-2 units) - number of level-2 variables in the model?
Thank you!

The ratio of the parameter estimate to its standard error is a z-test in large samples. There are no degrees of freedom involved with z-tests. Degrees of freedom are involved with t-tests which Mplus does not give.

posted on Tuesday, February 11, 2014 - 4:31 pm
In reading the previous posts I see that a z-test is used to test significance in large samples. However, I am doing a two-level model with 2 individual-level predictors and 1 group-level predictor. I have 126 participants among 11 groups. Can this be considered a large sample?
Thank you,
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, February 12, 2014 - 10:50 am
If you have 11 clusters, this is not enough for multilevel modeling. You should create 10 dummy variables and use them as covariates to control for non-independence of observations. In this case, 126 should be enough.

I found this site and I thought that it may be of interest to others :)
It's a collection of old american cookbooks (from 1798 to 1922)
They are available to browse online or downloaded as pdf.
Very cool site, Enui!! I bookmarked it to browse later. Collecting old cookbooks is one of my hobbies, love to peruse thrift stores, etc. for them. I only have a couple as old as some of the books on the site. Old cookbooks are a very interesting window on how folks lived in the past.
I love the great assortment.
I'm slowly reading The Mary Frances Cook Book and I love the illustrations of the "Kitchen People" helping the girl (I mean, how can you not love Auntie Rolling Pin? :) http://digital.lib.msu.edu/projects/cookbooks/coldfusion/display.cfm?ID=...
I had a look at the italian cookbook and it seems good.
When things are a little less hectic for me I'm going to try some recipes from the Oriental cookbook.
I've spent quite a bit of time exploring the `Oriental' and Middle-eastern cookbooks, and there are some absolute GEMS that I plan on making. Thanks for posting this excellent & interesting resource :-)
You're welcome!
It was too good not to share, and it's more fun when you have someone that understands :)
This is a wonderful website! Thank you for bringing it to our notice. I collect old cookbooks too. I also have a lot of living historians I know that will be interested in this as well. Thank you!

A judge finally made Tony and Tracy Danza's divorce official after more than six years of separation.
According to TMZ, the Danzas have been separated since 2006, though Tony didn't file divorce papers until 2011 after 24 years of marriage. He cited "irreconcilable differences."
The 62-year-old Danza has two daughters with Tracy and two more children from a previous marriage to Rhonda Yeoman.
Danza recently starred in "Don Jon's Addiction," a Sundance film written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Kai Jackson, whose departure from WJZ after more than 20 years was first reported here last month, said Thursday that he will be joining Sinclair Broadcasting as its national correspondent based in Washington, D.C.
"Yes, I'm going to Sinclair," Jackson said in a telephone interview. "I'm really excited. It's a company at the forefront of the industry, and I appreciate that they think I have something to offer."
Jackson said he will start his new job with the Hunt-Valley-based broadcaster Jan. 2.
"Kai will be a special correspondent covering stories in the nation's capitol for all of the Sinclair news operations," Scott Livingston, VP for news at Sinclair, said in an email response to The Sun."He will develop stories that focus on our commitment to advocacy journalism. Our goal is to produce stories that give context to the hot button issues in Washington."
Livingston added: "I'm excited to have him join our staff. Kai is a talented anchor/reporter. In my opinion, he's the top talent at WJZ, Baltimore, where he has been anchor/reporter for more than 20 years. I have a tremendous amount of respect for his work and he is one of key reasons for WJZ's ratings success. He is a true pro with a great ability to connect with the audience."
In writing about Jackson's departure from WJZ last month, I speculated that he would be joining Sinclair as it continues on a path of massive expansion in ownership of TV stations, including WJLA-TV in Washington, which it is in the formal process of taking over.
I suggested that by hiring Jackson from WJZ, Sinclair could both weaken a competitor in Baltimore and acquire a polished talent for its new Washington property. Read that here.
Jackson declined to comment Thursday on whether or not he would have a role at WJLA. But I would not be surprised to see WJZ's former 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. anchor on the D.C. airwaves once Sinclair starts running the Washington property.
Nor would I be surprised once his no-compete clause expires (usually a year) to see Jackson on WBFF (Fox45) in Baltimore. Sinclair and Jackson have several anchoring options if they want to go that way.
But whether or not anything happens at the anchor desk, being a national correspondent for Sinclair is a big and influential job in the TV news industry given the giant footprint of the company.
Since its size seems to be changing weekly with new acquisitions, here's the self-description from Sinclair's website:
"Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. is one of the largest and most diversified television broadcasting companies in the country today. Sinclair owns and operates, programs or provides sales services to 163 television stations in 77 markets, after pending transactions. Sinclair's television group reaches approximately 38.7% of US television households and includes FOX, ABC, MyTV, CW, CBS, NBC, Univision and Azteca affiliates."
Sinclair owns and operates WBFF-TV (Channel 45), has a local marketing agreement with WNUV-TV (Channel 54), and a local sales agreement with WUTB-TV (Channel 24) in Baltimore.
Jackson is the second anchor to leave WJZ this year for a national reporting job. Adam May joined Al Jazeera America in June as a national correspondent on its "America Tonight" primetime weeknight show.
WJZ is owned and operated by CBS.

But just who were Sarah Jane Porter's parents? Various bits of information available indicated that William Porter, Sr., a large landowner in Hinds County, and Louisa Anastacia Porter were her parents, but it was not until I reviewed a copy of William Porter's will and the will of his wife, Gracy Porter, that I could validate this relationship as fact.
Gracy's will, probated in Hinds County court in November 1855, indicates that Gracy and William had at least two children together, Edward Turner Porter, and Sarah Jane (Porter) Ragland. Also, both wills provided evidence that Gracy had been married before her marriage to William Porter. Probated during the October 1834 term of Hinds County Court, William Porter's will includes bequests to his step-sons, William H. Lawson, Isaac Lawson, and John S. Lawson, and to a step-daughter, Mary Ann D. Lawson. Since William's son, William Porter, Jr., was named administrator of his father's estate, and a daughter, Julia Ann Chrisler, received a bequest in his will but not in that of his wife, it seems likely the two were children from a previous marriage. Although Sarah Ann Porter, about four years old at the time of her father's death, was not identified by name in her father's will, William's reference to his "minor children," must have included Sarah and her brother, Edward Turner Porter.
Witnessed by Richard C. Drone, C. H. Gibbs, and George W. Gibbs, Gracy's will was probated during the November 1855 term of Hinds County Court. In her will, Gracy provided for a son, Edward Turner Porter and a daughter, Sarah Jane Ragland. The fact that Sarah Jane Ragland is named in her mother's will, probated in 1855, indicates that Sarah's own death must have occurred between that year and 1860, when Robert W. Ragland was shown as a widower on the U. S. Census recorded that same year. Gracy's will also included a provision for ".....children by (her) first husband," identified in the document as John Smith Lawson, William H. Lawson, Isaac Lawson, and Marian D. Stovall.
An examination of the Mississippi State and Territorial Census Collection, 1792-1866, reveals that Gracy Porter, a 56 year old female born in Virginia, was living in Hinds County, Mississippi in 1850. The head of the household was Gracy's son, E. (Edward) Turner Porter, a twenty-two year old farmer, and his 18-year old wife, Ann.
According to notes included on a listing of those buried in the Fortner/Porter Cemetery on the Hinds County MSGenWeb site, William Porter, the son of Landlot Porter and Winnie Porter, was born in 1779 and died on September 9, 1834. He and Gracy were married on January 29, 1826 in Franklin County, Mississippi. Also included in the notes is information that Gracy Porter, whose death occurred on September 30, 1855, was born about 1792/94 in Virginia and was first married to James L. Lawson.

Hospitals are extremely complex and dynamic organizations. Doctors, clinicians, staff, patients and equipment are constantly on the move; hospitals must comply with a range of strict regulations and there are periods of high stress and life-and-death decisions. At the same time, there's constant pressure on hospital administrators to lower costs while continuing to improve the level of patient care and satisfaction.
In this environment, hospitals are increasingly turning to wireless technologies to operate more efficiently, support patient care and improve the patient experience. Here are some examples, identified by Stanley Healthcare, of how they're doing this.

text: The Ponz is everywhere! Seriously, was anyone doing any real investing over the past several years? John M. Donnelly of Charlottesville, Virginia, was arrested earlier this week and "indicted for fraudulently taking at least $11 million from as many as 31 investors in an alleged Ponzi scheme," says their local paper the Hook. He was promising investors returns of up to 22% annually, but naturally had failed to make any investments with his clients' money since 2002. One anonymous person—who may or may not have been a client, we don't know—told the paper, "I visited his office once. He had a bunch of computers. It seemed like a very sophisticated operation."
