O-o-ok, I got this chrome on this Bugatti
I'm strong in this Bugatti
Two V8's ain't no such thing as driving calm in this Bugatti
Bitch I'm bad,
I'm worse
I pass the purp',
Don't fuck with me 'cause right now I'm higher than Captain Kirk,
I swear I be the sickest nigga, you can ask the nurse
And if you throw it in the bag, I bet I'll snatch her purse
OK I spazz, I curse
You last, I'm first
I'm on yo' ass, like dirt
Behind that cash, get murked
I'm talkin' big shit nigga, join my hit list nigga
What's the matter? Check ur bladder I'm the shit piss nigga
Shoot the witness, nigga
Whole court in the streets
And convict this nigga
Old dickless nigga
Man im runnin' with the blucka
Young Money muthafucka
You think we won't do our thang..
Well ain't it sunny in the summer?
And we coming for the commas
And whoever among us
And you know Imma bust my ass until my crew very humongous
I said T.I hold ya head
And Mack hold ya head
Wish I could but I can't say some other names 'cause of the Feds
Until my bloods, cold red
Man you know how we play it
And if it cost to be the boss, oh well I guess I gotta pay it
I'm a New Orleans nigga, I don't take no shit
Take the brain off the whip now it don't make no sense
Stunt hard on these bitches I ain't promised tomorrow
Not when they kicking it with me like no mo' garciaparra
Flute rollin' killer plants, like the tool shop of horror
And we roll them bitches thick, make 'em look like Toccara
Man I'm too much for these niggas, and three much for these hoes
Whe World is in my hands, and I keep my hands closed
I love my baby mommas, they get my highest honor
Gotta take care of them kids, man I know you heard Obama
And I live on an island, Atlantic in my backyard
I just tell my pilot to land it in my backyard
Quarter back shot gun, you don't get any sack yards
Bitch I ball hard, breakin' all the back boards
Pretty boy Floyd step up I will crack yours
And even at the White House we pull up at the back doors
Walk around like im thirty feet tall
Tiger Woods all these hoes tryna birdy these balls
In the Porche 911 like emergency calls
Man i just be chillin', I'm cool like Lou Rawls
Young Money in the building, I'm puttin' up new walls
Nigga take your Mrs. Officer and set some new laws
My flow is like rubbin' two logs
Young Moula we the new shit and new draws
Now get off my dick, I ain't fucking witcha
Watch me shoot to the bank, I'm a money pistol
Weezy beat the beat up like Sonny Liston
Red bone do me good, then her friend or sista
I mean her bitch, she never met her best friend or sister
I leave that pussy Microsoft like Windows Vista
Young toochie, pop that coochie for a goon, hoe
Bullet in your boy memory, now you act like you don't know
Eastside who i do it fo', Eagle Street right by the store
Katrina wiped the city out but couldn't fuck wit Holly Grove
Lost some real niggas I knew from a long time ago
But Heaven or Hell, I'm hopin' that they be where Imma go
Take a nigga gale and make her come give me a private show
Still long hair, don't care, like a Navajo
I'm the hardest shit go in your ass and search
I smash this verse, so I swag and surf
No Ceilings

Coronary artery disease (called CAD for short) is the leading cause of death in men and women.
It happens when your coronary arteries—which act like fuel lines to supply blood to the heart—become damaged or diseased. The main culprit? A build-up of fat and cholesterol in the blood that sticks to the inner walls of the arteries (this is also called atherosclerosis). As this happens, the arteries can narrow or become blocked. Keep in mind, CAD typically develops over decades, so many people don't even know they have it until it starts causing problems.
When you have CAD, your heart muscle may not be able to get the blood and oxygen it needs. This can result in chest pain (angina) or heart attack. For many people, this may be the first sign they have CAD. CAD is often to blame for heart failure and arrhythmias, too.
Although you don't have control over all of your risk factors for CAD—gender, age and family history—there are some things you can do to protect yourself. You are more likely to develop CAD and other heart problems if you are overweight; smoke; have diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol; or don't exercise regularly. Luckily, heart-healthy choices can make a big difference.
The sooner you can make positive changes to support your heart health, the better. The goal is to reduce your risk of heart problems down the line. Use this condition center to learn more about coronary artery disease. You can also chat online with other people like you, keep up with the latest research, and get tips to help you feel your best.

The slicing has stopped, the extruders have cooled, and the PLA is spooled and ready for its next printing assignment. MAKE's unprecedented 3D Print Shop Weekend is over. The testing, the Google Hangout, and the open house were all great successes. This was an amazing opportunity to get most of the currently available consumer-grade printers in one room, subject them all to the same "out of box experience," test the same prints on all machines, and trade comments between our 3D printer enthusiasts/machine test team. We're excited by what we learned and with the results of our testing. We can't wait to share everything with you in our Fall special issue: MAKE's Ultimate Guide to 3D Printing (coming in mid-November).
Many thanks to our test team which was comprised of Matt Griffin, Keith Ozar, John Abella, Ethan Hartman, Emmanuel Mota, Blake Maloof, Lyra Levin, Cliff Biffle, Eric Weinhoffer, Brian Melani, and Eric Chu. And thanks to all of the MAKE staff members who spent their weekend helping us to keep the plastic flowing.

Please. Sue would thump her in the beat-me mouth.
So Miley Cyrus is currently promoting her new album. She was in Madrid this afternoon at a photo call fronting like she's all grown up, like she knows about quality and authenticity, unlike the sh-t they serve up on Glee.
When asked by Billboard about the show, JailBait said that:
"Honestly, musicals? I just can't. What if this was real life and I was just walking down the street on Rodeo Drive and all of a sudden I just burst into song about how much I love shoes?"
What if this was real life and there was a dumbass show about a girl with two identities and for some reason no one could tell the difference?
What if the star of Hannah Montana judged Glee to be unworthy. Really? YOU? When did Miley Cyrus become Norah Jones? When did Miley Cyrus earn the artistic credibility to dismiss Jay-Z and Glee?
This apparently is about suspension of disbelief. From the same person who currently has a cameo in Sex & the City 2, a movie based on the life of a writer who somehow can afford to spend $50K a year on Manolos. Sit. The f-ck. DOWN.
PS. She's not the Smutty Shout-Out blind riddle. Her drama is a little more old-fashioned.

The chairs started by thanking to the many sponsors (platinum, gold, silver, bronze level) for the conference.
This year SOSP had 628 registrations, which made it the biggest SOSP as of yet, with a 16% increase over 2011 SOSP (which was yet biggest till then). Attendance distribution to SOSP is 76% from North America, 15% Europe, and 11% Asia. Among those attending 42% is faculty, 42% students, and 15% industry. There were 7 workshops on the weekend preceding the SOSP (LADIS was one of them), and 40% of attendants also attended workshops.
This year, for the first time, SOSP had full open access conference proceedings (the cost, $1100 per paper has been paid by SIGOPS), and this announcement got a huge applause from the audience.
Among the 150+ papers submitted, 30 papers are accepted to SOSP. There was a 3 round review process, with a total of 740 reviews, and on average 5 reviews per paper. 70 papers that fell in the middle were discussed in the depth PC meeting.
Three papers have been awarded with the best paper awards:
- The Scalable Commutativity Rule: Designing Scalable Software for Multicore Processors, Austin T. Clements, M. Frans Kaashoek, Nickolai Zeldovich, Robert Morris (MIT CSAIL), Eddie Kohler (Harvard)
- Towards Optimization-Safe Systems: Analyzing the Impact of Undefined Behavior, Xi Wang, Nickolai Zeldovich, M. Frans Kaashoek, Armando Solar-Lezama (MIT CSAIL)
- Naiad: A Timely Dataflow System, Derek G. Murray, Frank McSherry, Rebecca Isaacs, Michael Isard, Paul Barham, Martin Abadi (Microsoft Research)
The accepted 30 papers were presented within the duration of 2.5 days as single track. Each paper got a 30 minute time slot for which 22-25 minutes is for presentation, and 5-8 minutes are dedicated to question-answering session. This year Google-moderator tool has also been employed for taking questions from the audience, in addition to walk-to-microphone questions. The tool enables the audience to vote on the questions and get the questions with most votes rise to the top.
A majority of the presentations were very good (which is not the case in a typical conference where a big majority of the presentations are dull). It was clear that presenters had practiced extensively before the presentations, which helped them to deliver polished 22-25 minutes talks. Question-answering sessions were lively and there were several insightful questions asked.
The papers and presentation slides (and soon talk videos) are available from http://sigops.org/sosp/sosp13/program.html
Some of my top picks (reflecting my prejudicies and research interests) from the conference are as follows:
- The scalable commutativity rule: Designing scalable software for multicore processors
- Dandelion: a compiler and runtime for heterogenous systems
- Sparrow: distributed, low latency scheduling
- From L3 to seL4 what have we learnt in 20 years of L4 microkernels?
- An analysis of facebook photo caching
- Towards Optimization-Safe Systems: Analyzing the Impact of Undefined Behavior
- Transactions chains: achieving serializability with low-latency in geo-distributed storage systems
- Consistency-Based Service Level Agreements for Cloud Storage
- Tango: Distributed Data Structures over a Shared Log
- There Is More Consensus In Egalitarian Parliaments
- Naiad: A Timely Dataflow System
I will try to edit/organize my notes about some of these talks and share them soon. Especially the last five papers on this list appeal a lot to me since they are more relevant and related to my research interests large-scale distributed systems.
Tuesday night there was a banquet and award ceremony. Stefan Savage has been awarded with the 2013 Mark Weiser award. He gave a humble yet powerful talk, and shared personal stories about how his career has benefited a lot from interacting with the late Mark Weiser. Two recent PhD thesis were awarded with the Dennis Ritchie award.
Finally, the following five papers have been added to SIGOPS Hall of Fame:
- "Tenex, A Paged Time Sharing System for the PDP-10", Daniel G. Bobrow, Jerry D. Burchfiel, Daniel L. Murphy and Raymond S. Tomlinson, Communications of the ACM 15(3), March 1972.
- "A NonStop Kernel", Joel Bartlett, in Proceedings of the Eighth ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP'81), Pacific Grove, California, December 1981

EFA with categorical indicators
Mplus Discussion
Exploratory Factor Analysis
Rachel Dyane Upton
posted on Saturday, October 25, 2008 - 9:14 pm
Hello. I was running an EFA using oblique rotation (I believe Oblimin rotation is the default) for three ordinal, Likert-scale items, and 2 questions came up when I examined the output, which had 0 degrees of freedom since the model is just identified.
1.) I changed the default estimation method and used ML estimation because I wanted my results to relate to the overall population and not just to my data. Is OK to use ML estimation in Mplus when running an EFA with 3 ordinal indicators?
2.) Since factor loadings are often interpreted as regression coefficients, could I interpret both my unrotated and rotated factor loadings as I would a logisitic or even an ordinal probit model (e.g., regressing the observed ordinal variable on the latent factor)?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Sunday, October 26, 2008 - 9:09 am
With three factor indicators, only one factor can be extracted. This means that there can be no rotation.
I'm not sure what you mean by "relate to the overall population and not just my data". All estimators do this. It is okay to use ML with ordinal indicators.
The factor loadings with ML and categorical outcomes are logistic regression coefficients unless LINK=PROBIT is used. Then they are probit regression coefficients.

Dear Mplus team
I have a question about WLSMV estimation ; I hope that you can offer me some guidance.
It has been asserted to me that WLSMV is a least squares EFA on on polychoric correlations.
In contrast, My understanding was that with WLSMV estimation, factors are linked to categorical variables (questionnaire items in my case) based on probit regressions. As such, is it the case that *only* the polychoric correlation matrix goes into the calculations of parameter estimates ? If not, can you direct me to a better understanding of this issue ?
I have reviewed the Mplus manual, but I am wanting to better understand the way in which WLSMV calculates parameter estimates as compared with some of the alternative estimators. If you can direct me to some further information and reading on WLSMV, I would be grateful.
Warm wishes
Jamie Griffith

posted on Wednesday, August 27, 2014 - 3:09 pm
Yes, WLSMV for ordered categorical items is least squares estimation on polychoric correlations. The probit model is used for the regressions of the items on the factors which together with normality for the factors implies that underlying continuous latent response variables are multivariate normally distributed and the correlations of these latent response variables are therefore relevant statistics to fit the model to. Research has shown that higher-order moments than the second-order moments used by WLSMV do not carry that much more information. For a recent article showing the advantage of the WLSMV approach, see the paper on our website:
Barendse, M.T., Oort, F.J., & Timmerman, M.E. (2014). Using exploratory factor analysis to determine the dimensionality of discrete responses. Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 00: 1-15.
Note also that Mplus can use ML and Bayes estimators in addition to WLSMV.

2000 miles in three days on British roads: the FF's extreme usability
Numerous car and lifestyle magazines have been talking about the FF, praising performance, comfort and safety under all conditions. But until this day the four-seater Ferrari with four-wheel-drive has never appeared on the cover of a magazine dedicated to hunting and sports fishing.
Until today, when the editor-in-chief of the British Sporting Shooter magazine used the car for an exciting challenge in Cornwall, Yorkshire and Scotland.
The FF had to transport the necessary equipment for hunting and fishing, using the charateristics of a typical shooting brake: 450-litre boot, extendable to up to 800 thanks to the possibility to fold over the rear seats, offering the possibility to fit longer objects. The journalists drove over 2,000 miles over a weekend from South to North, appreciating the FF's exceptional comfort of the seats and the offered space.
From the Yorkshire woods to the Scottish lochs, the V12 from Maranello showed itself from its best side under different road and weather conditions: wet tarmac on the motorways, B-roads in the country side and even on dirt lanes. The FF showed that it can be the perfect travel companion with its 660 bhp, the electronic dynamic control system and the exceptional 4RM, the four-wheel system patented by Ferrari.
