MS Students Learn How to Become Dynamic Speakers
The class becomes confident in speaking by incorporating good body language.
Having to speak in front of an audience is always difficult and nervewracking, especially for those who are shy. The Becoming a Dynamic Speaker class is a unique class for students to build confidence and improve their speaking skills. In their class yesterday, they worked on how to incorporate good body language to make their speeches effective and learned how to speak with a podium. For their first activity, the students introduced themselves in one minute with one minute to prepare. For these speeches, the students focused on being creative with their gestures as well as integrating techniques such as tonal voice and posture to make it interesting. After each of the individual speeches, the class gave positive feedback to the student, pointing to what the student did really well. They also gave feedback on what the student could work on in the future allowing the student to focus on a specific speaking skill to develop. Ms. Alo commented that all of the students had shown significant improvement from their first lesson in the course, displaying a greater confidence level.

Search-and-recovery operations are underway today after severe storms and tornadoes wreaked havoc on the Midwest, killing at least six people and injuring dozens more with powerful winds that flattened homes and decimated much of the town of Washington, Ill.
A sixth death was confirmed late Sunday night after 81 reports of tornadoes ripped through at least five states in the Midwest earlier in the day. One of the tornadoes in New Minden, Ill., was estimated to have winds up to 200 mph.
Jonathon Monken, the director of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, said a third person was confirmed dead Sunday night in Massac County. An elderly couple was killed in Nashville, Ill., and another person was killed in Washington.
Destructive Storms Sweep Through Midwest
At least 37 people were injured in the storms, although officials said they expect that number to rise significantly.
The town of Washington, a rural community of about 16,000, appeared to have been one of the hardest hit. Rows of homes were completely flattened, trees uprooted and cars turned upside down.
"I crawled into my kitchen and the whole roof came off," Washington resident Alicia Bachman told ABC News Radio. "My table went sideways, my glass doors blew in, my house is devastated and [I] still can't find my cat."
In a news release, the Illinois National Guard said it had dispatched 10 firefighters and three vehicles to Washington to assist with "immediate search and recovery operations in the tornado damaged area."
As Tornado Rips Through Town, Man Recites Lord's Prayer
"The whole neighborhood's gone," Michael Perdun told The Associated Press. "The wall of my fireplace is all that is left of my house.
"I stepped outside and I heard it coming. My daughter was already in the basement, so I ran downstairs and grabbed her, crouched in the laundry room and all of a sudden I could see daylight up the stairway and my house was gone."
Lisa Hunter's son Brevin, 6, convinced his mother to head to their basement and hide under a mattress.
"We just covered up with a mattress," he said. "And she was holding me tight. I was holding her tight."
When the tornado finally passed, they discovered their Washington home was reduced to rubble within minutes.
"When I went outside I was like, 'Oh, my God.' Our whole entire neighborhood. I never even knew it would look like that," Brevin said.
WATCH: Tornadoes Wreak Havoc Across Midwest
Washington Mayor Gary Manier was in church when the tornado ripped through the town. Mainer quickly sprang into action and ushered people to safety.
"I was in church and I actually had our worshipers go to the basement and I'm sure some of them probably thought I was off my rocker but you know a lot of times churches don't necessarily do tornado drills and fire drills like schools and businesses," Manier told ABC News Radio.
Manier said he was grateful he spent so much time going over emergency preparedness disaster plans.
Illinois State Trooper Dustin Pierce said the tornado cut a path from one end of town to the other, knocking down power lines, rupturing gas lines and ripping off roofs.
"There's a lot of power lines down," Pierce told ABC News Radio. "Some of them might be live. There's a lot of gas leaks still. So we really need people to stay back.
"There's a lot of homes affected by this including a lot of multi-family homes, apartment buildings, things like that, so they're still going through those areas you know searching looking for injured people," he added
The tornado that ripped through Washington was part of a huge storm system that tore across Illinois around noon Sunday, causing widespread damage and forcing officials to evacuate the crowd of about 60,000 at Chicago's Soldier Field during a Bears football game.
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn declared a state of disaster in seven counties: Champaign, Grundy, LaSalle, Massac, Tazewell, Washington and Woodford.
In the small town of Gifford, north of Champaign, more than 20 homes were completely destroyed, and there was no power.
The storm also slammed through parts of Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky as it made its way east into the Mid-Atlantic states Sunday night.
ABC News Radio and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Home of Harvard Men's Crew
Facility Information:
- Two indoor rowing tanks
- Modern practice equipment
- Video room
- Meeting rooms
- Varsity locker rooms
The elder statesman among Charles River boathouses, Newell Boathouse has maintained its charm, beauty and practicality for more than a century.
Built in 1900 and named for Crimson rower and football star Marshall Newell '94, Newell was a gift of the Harvard Club of New York. Located just a short walk from most Harvard residences, between Harvard Square and the Soldiers Field athletics complex, the historic building is easily accessible for morning and afternoon workouts, both for indoor training and rowing on the Charles. The river runs through the heart of Harvard's campus and has the Boston skyline as its backdrop.
There are eight miles of rowable water available for practice and the Head of the Charles Regatta passes right in front of Newell's dock. The Crimson's home races take place just a few strokes downstream in the Charles River basin.
Newell's walls are replete with the history of the Harvard rowing programs, from championship plaques to posters, from team photos to treasured oars and boats. Team members and visitors alike marvel at the memorabilia proudly hung on the building's second floor.
Yet Newell still remains more than capable of handling a rower's needs. It contains two indoor rowing tanks and modern practice equipment, a video room, space to house all the crew's shells, a workshop, meeting rooms, and locker facilities.
Facility Hours:
Not open for recreational use; see Weld Boathouse for sculling
More Information:
Harvard Gazette: Hidden Spaces
Location: Newell is located immediately west of the intersection of John F. Kennedy Street/North Harvard Street and Soldiers Field Road/Storrow Drive West, between Harvard Square and the rest of the university athletic facilities. If walking from Harvard Square and the Harvard MBTA Station, go south on JFK Street and turn right immediately after crossing the Anderson Bridge. From the Soldiers Field athletic complex, walk north on North Harvard Street and turn left just before Anderson Bridge.

| 15.8°C Belfast
The rise in support for Scottish independence was holding steady prior to Westminster's outright rejection of a currency union, a poll suggests.
Some 29% of respondents said they will vote Yes against 42% who will vote No, with 29% remaining undecided, according to a TNS poll conducted in the first week of February.
The results are identical to a TNS poll in mid-January which revealed a swing from undecided towards independence, up to 29% from 27% in December and 26% in November, while support for the union remained at around 42%.
Two-fifths (40%) of decided respondents back independence against three-fifths (60%) who back the UK.
However, TNS has advised that the poll was conducted one week before the three main UK parties rejected the SNP's plan for a currency union and European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso said it would be "difficult, if not impossible" for an independent Scotland to join the EU.
TNS head in Scotland Tom Costley said: "The debate on independence has stepped up a gear in the last few days.
"Opinion in Scotland showed little change over the last few months, with a relatively high level of don't knows, and our polls have consistently shown that people are looking for more information on which to make their decision.
"It may be that the recent activity, especially the firm statement by the anti-independence parties on the future of the pound, will stimulate more debate, bring out more information and help undecided voters to make up their minds."
Scottish philanthropist Sir Tom Hunter said the referendum was "way closer to call than anyone thinks" when he released his TNS poll of 1,054 people on February 2, revealing Scottish opinion between January 14 and 20.
His numbers were identical to the TNS poll of 996 people released today, conducted between January 28 and February 6.
Eleven days after Mr Hunter's poll was released, Chancellor George Osborne said: "The Scottish Government says that if Scotland becomes independent there will be a currency union and Scotland will share the pound. People need to know - that is not going to happen."
His view was echoed by Labour shadow chancellor Ed Balls and Liberal Democrat Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander.
Three days later, Mr Barroso said: "It will be extremely difficult to get the approval of all the other member states to have a new member coming from one member state.
"It's going to be extremely difficult, if not impossible, a new member state coming out of our countries getting the agreement of the others."

Some people (Carlos), may think that watching funny videos on YouTube for hours is a waste of time – but laughter is really good for you, and if you're laughing at videos in Spanish, DOUBLE BONUS! – You practice your language skills.
Here are a few videos en español que me matan de risa.
Y El Putazo Que Me Diste?
I think I've watched this twenty times and laughed every single time. The interaction between the mother and son is identical to how Suegra and Carlos interact. It's been my experience that when something falls/breaks/spills/hurts someone, a Latino is more likely than an Anglo to blame the object, the victim of the situation, or someone completely unrelated to the incident. I'll give you an example that is still "famous" and talked about in our household:
One day Carlos was in a really grumpy mood – nothing had gone right for him all afternoon. He had bought himself a large sweet tea and a burger from the McDonald's value menu and came home, wanting nothing more than to just sit at the table and enjoy it. Carlos sets the large Styrofoam cup on the table with the bag containing his burger so he can go put his car keys away and wash his hands before eating. He returns to the table and when he goes to pick up the sweet tea and move it to where he wants to sit, he makes the mistake of grabbing it with one hand. The top pops off the sweet tea and he drops it, spilling it everywhere.
A normal reaction to this scenario would be to curse one's own bad luck – maybe even the McDonald's worker who didn't put the top on securely – but Carlos inexplicably yelled at our older son who just happened to be walking by and had absolutely no contact with the sweet tea or Carlos. "Look what you did! You made me spill it everywhere!" he shouted.
I love to tease Carlos about this habit he has so now when I drop things in the kitchen, I'll call out, "Look what you did, Carlos!" even when he's in a completely different room.
El Microbusero Salvadoreño
Indisputably the best rap song written about Salvadoran microbus drivers, (not that there's a lot of competition in the category, but I really do love this song.)
Tide "Hoodies" commercial en español
I love that this commercial speaks to a lot of families out there with U.S. born children who make fun of their parent's English.
Parodia de Danza Kuduro – "El Pan Ta Duro"
This Peruvian guy, Francisco Landa, is hilarious and so creative. I hope he continues to make parodies.
Qué Difícil Es Hablar El Español
No less than three friends sent me this video demanding that I watch it. My favorite part of the song:
"chucho" es un perrito en Salvador y Guatemala.
Y en Honduras es tacaño, y a Jesús le dicen Chucho,
con tantas definiciones, como se usa esa puta palabra!?
Chucho es frío en Argentina,
Chucho en Chile es una cárcel,
Chucho en México si hay alguien,
con el don de ser muy hábil.
El chucho de Chucho es un chucho ladrando,
y por chucho a Chucho lo echaron al chucho,
el Chucho era frío y lo agarró un chucho
-"Que chucho"- decía,
-"extraño a mi chucho".
(Guanabee.com has the full lyrics.)
What is the funniest video in Spanish that you've seen?

Then I see this. Five. Million. Dollars. In a hot wallet.
Ok, sure it's not everything they had. It's a small part of their assets. But I'm not going to believe this hack is not a big deal for them. I bet they are a little bit upset right now.
Bitcoin exchangers must understand one simple thing: you're going to be hacked. That's the truth you have to accept and build your entire architecture around this axiom (think of Erlang's fault tolerance "let it fail") . And your business shouldn't collapse after it.
Bitstamp clearly wasn't ready to be hacked. That's the point.
The following idea might be useful for all medium-sized+ exchangers:
The warm wallet application is an application on a separate server with only one API call exposed to main application: createWithdraw. This dramatically reduces attack surface. Ideally someone should create, thoroughly audit and open source such app, so any exchange with any stack would benefit from using it.
Another thing warm wallet should do is basic calculation of your total assets: bitcoins, fiat and payment systems. Previously btc-e's private key was bruteforced, attackers "stuffed" the exchanger with fake "add funds" requests and it costed them over 4000 BTC. Before every major withdrawal it must reaudit all exchanger's assets to ensure 2+2=4.
With warm wallet system the attackers have to hack application server first. Then they have to hack the warm wallet app which, surprise, has only 1 API call. They know nothing else about the warm wallet. After hours of playing around they will steal your tiny hot wallet and your admin will patch the hole.
If you want to successfully run an exchanger you need to deal with the fact Bitcoin apps are now target #1 for cyber criminals:
- While blockchain is not exactly anonymous, it's nearly impossible to track the stolen money. You cannot get them back. Ever.
- Most apps were written by "web developers" (read "amateurs"), not enterprise-level bank engineers (i'm not stating those are any better but they at least know what transaction is).
- Do you know how to make a bitcoin exchanger's developer cry? Say "race condition".
- The result of attackers' work is money. Not passwords, not l33t deface or private data on pastebin. Just cash. Awesome!

Seven members of the Navy SEAL Team 6 have been disciplined by the U.S. Navy for disclosing classified information to video game developer Danger Close Games and publisher Electronic Arts (Nasdaq: EA) for their military shooter "Medal of Honor: Warfighter."
CBS reported that The SEALS, including one involved in the Osama bin Laden mission, have received punitive letters of reprimand and lost half of their pay for the next two months. While they remain on active duty, both CBS and Fox News suggested the infraction could lead to their termination.
"The SEALs have gone Hollywood, but it could cost those who worked on the video game their careers," CBS said.
The Washington Post stated more cautiously than other reports that the kind of disciplinary actions that the SEALs received "generally hinder a military member's career."
It remains unclear what information, exactly, the SEALs team provided either EA or developer Danger Close Games during the development of "Warfighter." But EA has long marketed "Warfighter" as a meticulously researched and supremely "realistic" first person shooter. Promotional material for the game called "Warfighter" the "most the authentic military shooter this year," a not-too-subtle jab at the wildly popular "Call of Duty" franchise produced by EA's chief rival, Activision Blizzard (Nasdaq: ATVI).
"We do not tolerate deviations from the policies that govern who we are and what we do as sailors in the United States Navy," Rear Adm. Garry Bonelli, deputy commander of Naval Special Warfare Command, said in a statement.
The Department of Defense added in a statement to the videogame news site Polygon that "a non-judicial punishment hearing was conducted yesterday [Wednesday], Nov. 7 and seven Naval Special Warfare (NSW) personnel faced administrative proceedings. An additional NSW investigation is ongoing to determine if more personnel may be involved."
"They are being charged with violation of Article 92: Orders violation, misuse of command gear and violation of Article 92: Dereliction of duty, disclosure of classified material," the statement said, suggesting that the SEALs may have shared details about their specialized weaponry with the game developers.
Prior to the game's launch last month, EA got trapped in an another round of controversy for the game in August when critics discovered that real-world weaponry was being branded with the game's logo and sold through the official "Warfighter" website.
EA has denied any knowledge that the veterans consulted for the game were in contact with the Department of Defense during the game's development.
"There are no plans to recall 'Medal of Honor: Warfighter' from store shelves and we have no plans to alter the content contributed by combat veterans in the game," EA said in a statement when contacted for an interview. "We have no further comments."
Shares in Electronic Arts rose slightly on Friday, jumping as high as $13.14 in mid-morning trading.

House of Ransom
The House of Ransom was the home of a colony of Petty-dwarves, who lived in an underground complex inside the hill of Amon Rûdh. It was originally known as Bar-en-Nibin-noeg, the "House of the Petty-dwarves". As the First Age wore on, these people dwindled, until at last only three survived: Mîm and his two sons Khîm and Ibun. To their misfortune, the Petty-dwarves encountered Túrin at the time he led a desperate band of outlaws. Mîm's sons fled, but Mîm himself was caught, and agreed to house the outlaws in exchange of his own life. So the Dwarf-delvings of Amon Rûdh became known as Bar-en-Danwedh, meaning 'House of Ransom'. The ransom, in fact, was a double one: when they returned to Amon Rûdh, it was learned that Khîm had been shot by an arrow as he fled, and was dead. In recompense, Túrin promised to pay Mîm a ransom of his own, if ever he was able.
Túrin and the outlaws stayed for more than a year in Bar-en-Danwedh, where they were joined by Beleg Strongbow out of Doriath. They defended the lands around against Melkor's forces, and became so famous in that region that they gained a following, with Túrin and Beleg coming to be known as the Two Captains. In the end, though, disaster struck: Mîm betrayed them to the Orcs, who slew the outlaws and captured Túrin in a net. Beleg survived, and Mîm fled from him, never to return to his old House of Ransom on Amon Rûdh.[1][2]
[edit] Other names
Another name of the house was Echad i Sedryn (Sindarin, "Camp of the Faithful"). The "faithful" referred to Túrin Turambar and his companions, after they had taken refuge there.[3]

Wie sets a standard in Women's Open at Pinehurst
Recommended Video:
PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) -- Michelle Wie is becoming a regular contender in major championships, only now as an adult.
She captivated women's golf as a teenager, contending in three straight LPGA Tour majors when she was 16. That was when she still was trying to compete against the men, when she didn't always look as if she was having fun and before injuries and criticism were a big part of her growing pains.
On another tough day at Pinehurst No. 2, the 24-year-old from Hawaii held it together Friday with two key par putts and finished with back-to-back birdies for a 2-under 68, giving her a three-shot lead going into the weekend at the U.S. Women's Open.
"I think you look at the way Michelle has played the last six months and you look at her differently," said Stacy Lewis, the No. 1 player in women's golf who was four shots out of the lead. "I think she's become one of the best ball-strikers on tour. She hits it really consistent. She knows where the ball's going. And she's figuring out how to win. That's the big thing."
But there's a familiar name, and another teen prodigy, who joined Wie as the only players still under par.
Lexi Thompson, who soundly beat Wie in the final round to win the Kraft Nabisco Championship for her first major title, powered her way out of the sand and weeds, running off three straight birdies to match Wie's 68, the low score Friday.
For all the interest in the men and women playing Pinehurst No. 2 in successive weeks, Wie and Thompson made the Women's Open more closely resemble the first LPGA major. Is it too early to start thinking rematch?
"Definitely too early," Thompson said with a laugh. "Thirty-six holes in a major, that's a lot of golf to be played, especially at a U.S. Women's Open."
For now, Wie had control. Her three-shot lead is the largest through 36 holes in the Women's Open in 11 years.
She twice thought her shots were going off the turtleback greens, and twice she relied on her table-top putting stance to make long par saves. She finished with a 6-iron that set up a 12-foot birdie putt, and a 15-foot birdie on the par-5 ninth to reach 4-under 136.
"End of the day yesterday, I was thinking if I just did this again, that would be nice," Wie said. "Finishing with two birdies is always great. It's a grind out there. It's not easy. Really grateful for the par putts that I made and some of the birdie putts that I made. I can't complain. I'll take it."
Just when it looked as if this had the trappings of another runaway -- Martin Kaymer led by at least four shots over the final 48 holes to win the U.S. Open -- along came Thompson with a shot reminiscent of what Kaymer did last week.
From the sand and bushes left of the fairway on the par-5 fifth hole, Thompson blasted a 5-iron from 195 yards just off the green, setting up two putts for birdie from about 60 feet. Kaymer was in roughly the same spot in the third round when he hit 7-iron from 202 yards to 5 feet, that pin position more toward the front.
That was her third straight birdie, and she closed with four pars to reach 139.
Pinehurst No. 2 wasn't in much of a giving mood on another warm day in the North Carolina sandhills, with a brief shower in the middle of the afternoon that didn't do much to soften a dry, crusty golf course.
Lewis, who opened with a bogey-free 67, picked up a bogey on her first hole in a wild round of six bogeys, three birdies and a tough 73. Even so, the two-time major champion managed to see the big picture.
"I hung around, and that's what you've got to do at this tournament," said Lewis, at even-par with Amy Yang (69) and Minjee Lee, the 18-year-old amateur from Australia who played bogey-free on the back nine to salvage a 71.
Lucy Li, the precocious 11-year-old and youngest qualifier in the history of the U.S. Women's Open, isn't leaving town until Monday. She just won't be playing any more golf. The sixth-grader from the Bay Area started with a double bogey for the second straight day and shot another 78 to miss the cut by seven shots.
The cut was 9-over 149.
Na Yeon Choi had a 70 and was at 1-over 141, followed by a Paula Creamer (72) at 2-over 142. The group at 143 included Karrie Webb (73) and So Yeon Ryu (74), who saved her hopes with three straight birdies on the front nine, and narrowly missing a fourth. All of them are former Women's Open champions.
This is a different Wie they are chasing. She already has won this year in Hawaii, and she has eight top 10s and is No. 2 on the LPGA money list.
Attribute that to a putting stroke that she owns, no matter how peculiar it looks with her back bent severely, almost parallel to the ground. And she has learned to play the shot -- she has a full allotment -- instead of worrying about her score or her position on the leaderboard.
"I knew I could get better," Wie said. "I knew I could improve. But that's the game of golf. I think that's what's so fun about it. You work hard, you work hard, it's a challenging game. You can never quite perfect it. I love working on my game. I love working on different shots. Just trying to get better every day. I never really lost a sense of determination or drive."

Exploratory Factor Analysis
posted on Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 9:23 am
I have a set of 11 categorical variables (some binary and the others have up to 7 levels). I was interested in performing factor analysis on this data. In all of the mulitvariate analysis books that I have read, it says that you cannot perform factor analysis on categorical data. How is it that your program can do what others say is impossible? Is there a paper that you can suggest that would help me to understand why this can be done? Also, I could not find out what type of correlation matrix the program uses in the factor analysis. I found that it uses tetrachoric correlations when the data is binary, but what about when it has more then two levels. Thanks for your help in this.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Thursday, June 19, 2003 - 9:44 am
I think what these books mean to say is that the methods they are presenting are for continuous outcomes. If you go to www.statmodel.com under References, you will find a set of papers and books related to the factor analysis of categorical outcomes. For ordered polytomous variables, factor analysis uses a polychoric correlation matrix.

We're attempting to run a EFA on 13 categorical items, but whilst it allows us to run after specifying a 2 factor solution, it cannot/won't allow us to run it for a 1 factor solution. The error message says Unrecognized setting for TYPE option: 1.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Friday, July 11, 2003 - 6:42 am
You may be saying TYPE = EFA 1. You should say TYPE = EFA 1 1; You need to give both a minimum and a maximum number of factors to extract. If this is not what you are doing, please send the output so that I can take a look at it.

You would use SAVEDATA, FILE (SAMPLE)IS to obtain a correlation matrix.

My EFA in MPlus and SPSS ran fine but I am getting an error message that my correlation matrix is not positive definite when I run it with CEFA and SAS. I have 37 items with n=102. Is there a way I can calculate the determinant for various combinations to investigate which items are causing it to go to 0. Also, do you know if the 0 determinant thresholds are different such that MPlus will run but SAS won't.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Thursday, March 03, 2005 - 5:40 pm
I think SAS probably has a function to invert postive definite matrices. You could try to invert the matrix to see where the problem is.
The default for EFA in Mplus is the unweighted least squares estimator for which positive definiteness is not required or checked. This may also be the case in SPSS. I don't know. If you use the ML estimator in Mplus, it will check for positive definiteness of the sample correlation matrix.
Tiffany Christian
posted on Friday, March 04, 2005 - 1:19 am
Two quick follow up questions:
Why is positive definiteness not checked or required for ULS? Also, is there a way to see the determinant in output?
Thanks again!
posted on Friday, March 04, 2005 - 6:11 am
Unlike ML, there is nothing in the computations for ULS that requires pos def of the sample corr/cov matrix. A factor model implies a pos def model-estimated matrix, but you can fit such a model to a non pos def sample counterpart - the model may still fit well. In this sense, the non pos def of the sample may not be "significant". This is often the case with tetrachoric and polychoric correlation matrices. Currently, there is no printout of the determinant. With EFA, however, there is a printout of the eigenvalues.

Morning Dr. Muthen,
I am conducting an EFA on a set of 13 categorical manifest variables. I am new to Mplus and have been struggling with some of the finer aspects to the code. Below's code gives me the basic output, but I was also hoping to see the polychoric correlation matrix for my items and the eigenvalue plot, but my foray into the code has been sketchy at best. Can you help me out?
Data: file is 'C:\Documents and Settings\Pat\Desktop\TRIG209.txt';
format is free;
type is individual;
ngroups = 1;
Variable: Names are trig1-trig13;
Categorical are trig1-trig13;
Analysis: type = EFA 1 4;
estimator = WLSMV;
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Thursday, August 25, 2005 - 9:07 am
See the PLOT command for the eigenvalue plot. See the SAMPSTAT option of the OUTPUT command for the tetrachoric correlations. You can also use TYPE=BASIC in the ANALYSIS command to obtain these. If you have further questions of this type, please send them along with your license number to

I would like to see the polychoric correlation matrix for 24 item with n=334 using SAS program.
Proc freq can only calculate the polychoric correlation coefficients for each two items separately, but does not display the correlation matrix.
Many thanks.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Thursday, February 02, 2006 - 10:20 am
I'm afraid you will have to direct your question to SAS. I am not familiar with this program.

posted on Saturday, February 25, 2006 - 11:52 am
I have done an EFA for 24-item scales with 4 points and the sample size was n=400; I obtained 3 solutions by PCF, PAF and ML using the polychoric correlation matrix.
Eight factors should be retained in the PCF and PAF and the solution accounted only 62% of the variance in both of two solutions but the common factors were not the same in respect of the factors� items.
But when I performed the ML, only 4 factors should be retained and the solution accounted 100% of the variance.
The ML solution was statistically acceptable more than the other in respect of RSMR & RSMP; I just wanted to know, what is the best method to perform the exploratory factor analysis? And why there is a difference between the 3 solutions? Am I in the wrong way?
Many thanks.
posted on Saturday, February 25, 2006 - 12:12 pm
It does not sound like you are using Mplus. In Mplus, EFA on categorical items can be done by ULS, WLSMV, or ML. ULS and WLSMV fit the model to polychorics. I would not expect large differences between the 3 Mplus approaches.
posted on Sunday, February 26, 2006 - 3:44 am
One quick question,
Why EFA on categorical items can only be done in Mplus by ULS, WLSMV, or ML. ULS and WLSMV fit the model to polychorics?
Where are the principal components factoring and the principal axes factoring as EFA methods?
Is it for a theoretical reason or a technical reason?
posted on Sunday, February 26, 2006 - 5:50 am
Principal components analysis is a biased estimator for the factor analysis model (because it assumes zero residuals). It is only used to generate starting values. Principal factoring (with iterated communalities) gives I believe the same results as ULS.

Dear Dr Muthen,
You very kindly helped me with some advice regarding the rotations of factors, and I am e-mailingyou with another query, and would be much appreciated if you could point me in the right direction.
I am interested in running a factor analysis on true binary data but was wanting to avoid some of the pitfalls with linear correlation matrices. Is there any literature available as to whether it is possible to conduct a factor analysis on distance generated matrices (i.e. Jaccard)?
Thank you again for your time

Dear authors,
I read a post in this topic that says "EFA on categorical items can be done by ULS, WLSMV, or ML. ULS and WLSMV fit the model to polychorics.".
But, when I try to estimate an EFA on some categorical indicators with ML estimator Mplus (version 4.2) gives me this warning:
*** WARNING in Analysis command
Estimator ML is not available for EFA analysis with non continuous variables.
Default estimator will be used.
My input code is:
MISSING ARE all(999);
ESTIMATOR IS ml;
Why? There is something wrong in my code?
Best regards

ML will be available with EFA and categorical factor indicators in Version 5. It is not currently available.

How high does a factor loading have to be to consider that variable as a defining part of that factor?
In my example I have binary dates.

Cecily Na
posted on Friday, May 04, 2012 - 2:01 pm
I want to know if several indicators of the same latent factor can be in different metrics. For instance, latent variable X has three continuous indicators x1 x2 x3. x1 is on a 0-5 scale, x2 is on a 0-100 scale, x3 is 0-1 scale. Would such a composite work? Is there a suggested limit to metric difference? Like the largest range of indicators should be less than 10 times of the smallest range of the indicators.
Thank you very much!
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Friday, May 04, 2012 - 2:47 pm
That would work as is. I would make sure continuous indicators have variances between one and ten. You can rescale them by dividing them by a constant using the DEFINE command if not.

Bayes does not use listwise deletion. It uses a FIML-like procedure.

Thank you. I have ran a Bayesian EFA on 80 cases but half of them were excluded as they had missings.
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - 9:49 am
The only cases that would be excluded in an EFA would be cases with missing on all of the dependent variables. If half are being excluded, you may be reading your data incorrectly, for example, you may have more variable names in the NAMES list causing two records to be read instead of one.

Regarding your Mplus short courses � Topic 1 on EFA. In Slide 99, you mentioned about deleting a factor with two items. I just wondering what is the minimal number of items per factor in EFA? I do have measure with one factor has 2 items only. If I think the factor is important even though only 2 items in it, should I remain them as there are?

The Thanksgiving holiday provides us with a wonderful opportunity each November to pause and reflect on the many things that we each have to be grateful for. We quickly recall thoughts of loyal friends, families, good health, material possessions, and the significant milestones of the past year. Important? Yes. Reaffirming the obvious? Most certainly.
How far do our thoughts of gratefulness extend beyond these usual categories? Think of all those who have contributed in some positive way to our professional journeys over the past year. There are those that we so often fail to acknowledge in the rush of our day-to-day activities. What about those who work "behind the scenes" to keep our workplaces clean and functional? What about the colleague who has taken the time to share a moment of encouragement during a difficult day or one who can always be counted on for a smile? What about the manager who challenges you to stretch beyond your comfort zone?
Have you found an opportunity to communicate your thankfulness to your fellow co-workers? The strength of your organization may depend on it.
Dr. P.M. Forni, professor at Johns Hopkins University and co-founder of the John Hopkins Civility Project, has conducted research demonstrating that showing thanks in the workplace is essential to the health of an organization. Study findings have concluded that treating co-workers with civility lowers stress and positively influences employee retention, reduces absenteeism and enhances workplace morale. Regardless of our individual roles within our organizations, we can each contribute to a more positive environment by recognizing the contributions of others and expressing our gratitude.
Ron Ashkenas, author of "Simply Effective," acknowledged in a recent post for the Harvard Business Review Blog that neglecting to share interpersonal thanks is usually unintentional, especially for those who are busy and overwhelmed. He suggests overcoming this by building a "thanks step" into project plans or bringing the team together for a celebration that is focused on accomplishment. Ashkenas suggested that some managers may just need a post-it note on their desk to serve as a reminder to share appropriate words of thankfulness.
Be sure to remember your customers and suppliers in your thankfulness efforts. Where would we be without these important stakeholders? Yet we tend to rely on more formalized communication such as annual thank-you cards and letters or wrap a customer thank you into a marketing campaign. What proves to be far more effective is providing a timely and immediate word of thanks when an occasion naturally arises. It may take the form of sharing appreciation when a supplier goes above and beyond to meet a last-minute need or when every shipment arrives accurately and on time. It may mean acknowledging that a customer has many available vendor options and thanking them sincerely for putting their confidence in your organization. Nothing fancy is needed here, a quick email or phone call will suffice. What matters is the sincerity.
I'll extend a challenge to find ways for organizational gratitude to be nurtured throughout the year, not to let it be something we remind ourselves of during the third week in November. It's a challenge I'll personally accept as well as I'm definitely planning to put the "thanks step" into action. Perhaps if we each displayed more thankfulness on a regular basis there would be even more to be grateful for come next Thanksgiving.

Bangladesh trail West Indies by 35 runs on fourth day
Published: 24th November 2012 12:11 PM | Last Updated: 24th November 2012 06:40 PM | A+A A-
Shakib Al Hasan made 97 runs and Nasir Hossain smashed an unbeaten half-century to help Bangladesh reach 226-6 at stumps Saturday after a slow start on the fourth day of the second and final test match.
Bangladesh was 85-5 at tea but Shakib and Nasir fought back to yield a 144-run, sixth-wicket partnership at the end of the day after the West Indies declared its first innings at 648-9 just 10 minutes into the second session with a 261-run lead.
At stumps, Bangladesh still trailed the visitors by 35 runs.
Nasir was not out on 64 after Shakib was out three runs shy of a century.
Shakib took 117 balls including 10 boundaries and one six to reach his total.
Tino Best returned figures of 3-26, while Veerasammy Permaul took 2-51 and Fidel Edwards took one wicket to put the West Indies on course to sweep the two-test series 2-0.
Best removed opener Tamim Iqbal (28), Shahriar Nafees (21) and Naeem Islam (2).
Fidel Edwards trapped the other opener, Nazimuddin, lbw for a duck while Veerasammy Permaul (2-51) dismissed skipper Mushfiqur Rahim for 10 and Shakib for 97.
Earlier, Shivnarine Chanderpaul scored an unbeaten 150 before the declaration that left the West Indies almost five sessions to dismiss Bangladesh in a bid to sweep the two-test series 2-0 after claiming the first test by 77 runs.
At the break, Shakib Al Hasan was unbeaten on 20 with Nasir Hossain not out on 1.
After resuming on the overnight score of 564-4, the West Indies lost four wickets to Shakib Al Hasan for 146 runs in the morning. Two of the dismissals came in the last over before the lunch interval. The last wicket was taken by Sohag Gazi (3-167).
Shakib's four-wicket haul gives him 102 test wickets.
On Wednesday, Bangladesh was dismissed for 387 runs.
Chanderpaul's 150 came off 282 balls with 12 boundaries and one six, and backed up dashing scores of 260 from Marlon Samuels and 127 from Darren Bravo. Chanderpaul had an unbeaten 203 in the first test in Dhaka.
The West Indies were untroubled through most of the 26 overs played in the morning session until Shakib struck in the last four overs before lunch.
Denesh Ramdin was out for 31, caught by Rahim, Darren Sammy went for a duck, Permaul had 13 and Sunil Narine was dismissed without scoring.

Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the month, you are probably well aware of the recent activity around a new Firefox extension developed by a pair of researchers that brings the issue of session hijacking front and center.
The duo behind this extension, Eric Butler and Ian "craSH" Gallagher, developed the software in order to demonstrate the vulnerabilities inherent in many web sites that don't fully implement encryption.
The browser extension, dubbed "Firesheep", essentially enables an attacker to grab other people's credentials and use them to gain access to various web sites.
As Butler explains on his blog, "When logging into a Website you usually start by submitting your username and password. The server then checks to see if an account matching this information exists and if so, replies back to you with a "cookie" which is used by your browser for all subsequent requests".
While it is very common for many websites to encrypt your initial logon and protect your password, that is typically where the protection stops. In other words, they'll encrypt the initial login, but then leave the rest of the traffic unencrypted.
Since the rest of the communication is unencrypted, the user's cookie is left vulnerable. Through a technique known as HTTP session hijacking (also known as "sidejacking"), an attacker gains access to the user's cookie and can then access the resources of that website while masquerading as that user.
What Firesheep does is essentially snoop the traffic on the network for these important cookies and allows an attacker to log into sites such as Twitter and Facebook with the simple click of a mouse. Once they have the cookie, they basically have full reign over the account and are pretty much free to do whatever they want.
Now there seems to be a great deal of misinformation spreading pretty virulently about this particular issue, so I'd like to take a moment to set the record straight so that everyone will understand the true nature of this vulnerability.
First off, this is not an issue in which only wireless networks are vulnerable.
Surprisingly enough, there are some pretty respectable names in the industry propagating this misinformation - everybody from the infamous Bruce Schneier to Brian Krebs, and even Eric Butler himself.
Perhaps the reasons for these misconceptions are because it is just so much easier to exploit this vulnerability on wireless networks or perhaps it's because many people are simply not aware that switched networks can be compromised as well.
Whatever the reason may be, the fact of the matter is that this vulnerability can be exploited on both wired AND wireless networks. On wired networks it does take quite a bit of extra work, which might explain the widespread belief that this is something only prevalent on wireless networks.
Wired networks can be subjugated through a technique known as 'ARP Spoofing' which can be done with a wide variety of tools such as Dsniff or Ettercap.
Second, this particular vulnerability doesn't just affect OPEN wireless networks. In fact, any wireless network in which the wireless encryption key has been compromised can fall victim to this attack.
If you think that WEP encryption offers any protection against this you would be wrong. Once an attacker has subjugated the WEP key, your HTTP sessions could still be compromised.
Finally, there seems to be an impression by a majority of people that this is some type of new exploit. In fact HTTP Session Hijacking is not a new attack vector and has been known to exist since 2004.
The author's have merely streamlined the process by incorporating it into a simple browser plug-in which makes it simple for anyone with even the most basic networking knowledge to accomplish.
Without tools like this, an attacker would need to sniff the traffic, parse through it to grab the HTTP session keys, and understand how to bring those session keys into the web browser to complete the exploit.
So now that we've managed to clear the air and hopefully eliminate some of the false information that is circulating, what can you do to secure your traffic?
The only truly effective fix for these problems are for web sites to implement full end-to-end encryption using HTTPS, but that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon.
In the mean time, if you are a Firefox user, a fantastic plug-in called HTTPS Everywhere will rewrite all your requests to HTTPS, thereby encrypting your communications (Ahem... you are using Firefox aren't you?).
If for some reason you just can't seem to get away from using Internet Explorer, you can still encrypt your communications using an application like TOR which encrypts the data between your computer and any one of a number of TOR exit nodes.
By the way, in case you are interested, Firesheep is named after the famous Wall of Sheep at Defcon, which displays the details of unencrypted logins and session data over the event's Wi-Fi network from people who, by attending Defcon, should know better than to ever send anything unencrypted over a public Wi-Fi network.

2 cups milk (I used 2%)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sugar, divided use
1/2 cup goji berries
1/3 cup Dutch process cocoa
1/4 cup cachaça (white rum would be a good substitute)
4 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla paste
red or pink sea salt
In a small bowl, soak the goji berries in the cachaça. Set aside. Meanwhile, in a large pot over medium heat, whisk together 1/4 cup sugar, milk and cream until the sugar dissolves and the mixture almost boils, about 2-3 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together 1/4 sugar and the egg yolks until it forms a ribbon and is yellow and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add about a 1/2 cup of the cream mixture into the eggs and whisk to combine. Pour the egg/cream mixture it into the cream mixture on the stove. Whisk in cocoa, vanilla paste and a pinch of sea salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes or until the mixture coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and whisk in the chopped chocolate. Strain mixture into a bowl. Drain the goji berries and stir them in. Allow to cool on the counter then cover and place in the refrigerator to cool completely then pour into a ice cream maker and churn until cold and set. Place in a freeze-safe container and freeze until solid. Serve with a sprinkling of sea salt.

Red Hat today issued software updates to fix at least 5-6 security vulnerabilities in various versions of its Linux distribution. These update has been rated as having important security impact. It is recommended that you upgrade (patch) your system using yum command.
A flaw was found in Perl's regular expression engine. A specially crafted regular expression with Unicode characters could trigger a buffer overflow, causing Perl to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Perl.
An input validation flaw was discovered in X.org's Security and Record extensions. A malicious authorized client could exploit this issue to cause a denial of service (crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the X.Org server.
How do I patch my RHEL system?
Simply, type the following command:
# yum update
How do I patch my Debian Linux system?
Debian also updated many of its package to address these vulnerabilities in the X Window system. You can upgrade your system by typing following commands:
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
I'm sure other distros will also release updates.

Finding Malala: How Adam Ellick '99 Discovered the Girl Who Stood up to the Taliban
ICView: What was the most difficult thing about covering a story in Pakistan?
AE: There are so many challenges to reporting as a one-man-band journalist in Pakistan that do not exist in other places I have worked. It usually took about four times as long to accomplish the same amount of reporting in Pakistan compared to [the time it takes] in the West. The major hurdles included constant power outages that disrupt shooting interviews with lights; security assessment and planning; and finding and hiring local reporters who know the local language, [can help with] sources, and are reliable. It's also incredibly difficult to verify facts, especially in a nation where some data is not reliable and where conspiracies are a national sport of sorts.
ICView: What kind of access did you have to Malala's family?
AE: The family was incredibly cooperative and open to my documentary project. I followed them, on and off, for about six months. That meant meeting up with them during key moments in their lives and also at random times for interviews and check-ins to document their routine. I was always afraid of missing a critical moment in their lives, mainly because their lives were so unpredictable. I lived in Islamabad, and the father was in Peshawar, and at times, Malala was in a third city. But I spoke to the father by phone quite often, so even when I was not documenting them, I was getting updates by mobile.
ICView: How did you overcome the cultural barriers—like gender—and the difficulty of interviewing such a young subject?
AE: Malala was 11 [when I met her], which made it a bit easier to cover her as a reporter. Women are generally allowed to interact with men outside the family until puberty, after which they are veiled and often hidden from public view. Interviewing children in any culture is very challenging. They are often abrupt, shy, or struggle to express themselves to strangers. Malala made that easy because she was quite eloquent and expressive. And her father was incredibly accommodating, and unusual, in agreeing to allow a foreigner into their lives during such tense days. I was lucky to have met such a brave family. Zia and I quickly became friends. We talked about everything from the beaches in Brazil to Rumi poems, and as a result, we trusted each other deeply.
ICView: How close did you get with Malala?
AE: Malala and I became friends. At times, I felt like her de facto uncle. I gave her a video camera and my old computer, and after the film, the family stayed with me for several nights in Islamabad. We went shopping. I have warm memories of buying her ice cream, books, and DVD movies. Malala was reflective of the culture. Kids, and especially women, are very well behaved and deferential to elders, and to men.
ICView: Did you ever worry that maybe you were getting too close to the story?
AE: No. The job of a journalist, and especially a documentarian, is to get as close as possible to the sources. I think my closeness to the story, and the subjects, yielded a more intimate piece of journalism in the end. My friendship with the family went to new heights after the films aired.
ICView: Were you ever concerned for Malala's safety?
AE: No. Zia and I often talked about death, but it was always linked to his safety and my safety. Almost all targets were men. Women were very rarely targeted. Even the bombings of girls' schools took place at night. One of my regrets is that I never asked Malala if she was willing to die for the cause. That said, it is important to understand the chronology of the story. My film aired in 2009, and it catapulted Malala into [a role as] a public figure in Pakistan. After I left the country, she started speaking out more aggressively in the Pakistani press, and she was shot in 2012.
ICView: Do you feel like your documentaries put her in danger in any way?
AE: When I first met Malala, she was unknown to the world. My films gave her a public profile and invited international and national media to come knocking on her door. The coverage also triggered the family's appetite to be agents of social change. The films, and the awards and benefits that came with the attention, emboldened Malala and her father into speaking out more aggressively. My films played a significant role in transforming her into a known figure, and her response to that eventually put her on the Taliban's radar.
ICView: What do you think of Malala's now international celebrity and her nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize?
AE: The reason that I went to Swat and invested so much in telling this story is because of the injustice: thousands of girls are not going to school in Pakistan. In fact, the country has more uneducated children than almost any country in the world. Malala's celebrity has further spotlighted that issue. That's fantastic. At the same time, it presents a challenge because the celebrity of Malala creates interest in [her as a] person and detracts from the core issue: the millions of Malalas who remain out of school in Pakistan. Today, people ask me far more questions about Malala than about how to solve the core issue of educating kids in Pakistan.
ICView: What did you learn about yourself by covering this story?
AE: It was a privilege and an honor to report [about] the most brave and courageous people I have ever met. I cherish that experience. The story also offers obvious lessons about how precious education is. This family craved normalcy: the dad wanted to return to work, and Malala wanted her education. These routines often draw complaints and whines across most of the developed world. The story also taught me many lessons about the enormous responsibility and struggle that accompanies being a journalist in dangerous places. Of course, foreign correspondents know that our job is to give a voice to those who are experiencing injustice, but we also know that doing so can make those sources targets. Seeing those sobering decisions play out in reality has been a painful experience.
We asked Adam Ellick '99 what led him to where he is today. Here's what he had to say:
Curiosity is my fuel. I am constantly trying to learn and to deepen my worldview. After college, that curiosity propelled me to spend six years overseas working as a reporter. During that time, I honed my journalism skills and realized how passionate I am about exploration and acquiring knowledge and seeing things for myself. I was aided with a stellar education that focused on critical thinking and writing. I also believe in trying new things, embracing change, and generally being an adaptive person.
I arrived at IC wanting to be a sports reporter. But I was fundamentally changed after a semester studying in London. That experience exposed me to a larger world, full of things that I didn't understand. I basically kept moving east, traversing Europe, Russia, and eventually living in Indonesia, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. I love that feeling of showing up somewhere, not understanding much, and trying to figure it all out. It's the scavenger hunt of life.
Professor Ben Crane also played a huge role. His classes about critical thinking and ethics offered a precious and enduring framework for a life that values science, fairness, compassion, and truth. Those skills continue to serve me well as a reporter and as a person.
1 Comment
What a wonderful and painful interview to read. Adam (and all journalists) have a unique responsibility in their reporting and to those they investigate. Mala's story reflects that huge task. I salute him on keeping the message alive and for following his dream and using his education so well. Prof. Crane also deserves kudos.
