Statistics is the study of the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data. It deals with all aspects of this, including the planning of data collection in terms of the design of surveys and experiments.
My main research interests include theory and applications of stable, geometric stable, and other heavy-tail random variables and stochastic processes. A stable variable has the property of stability: the sum of n copies of X has the same type of distribution as X. More general notions of stability include cases when the number of variables n is itself a random variable and/or or when the variables are combined by operations other than adding. A heavy-tail random variable is one that has a non-negligible probability of resulting in a value relatively far from the center of the distribution. I have worked on applications of stable and related distributions in actuarial science, economics, financial mathematics, as well as other areas. My other research interests include computational statistics, characterizations of probability distributions, and stochastic simulation.
My research interests include probability, statistics, stochastic modeling and interdisciplinary work. In particular, I study the limit theory for random and deterministic sums of random quantities and estimation for heavy tailed distributions. Stochastic modeling and interdisciplinary work cover finance and insurance, hydrology and water resources, atmospheric science and climate, environmental science and biostatistics. Current research projects include statistical estimation for heavy tailed hydrology data, climate and hydrological extremes in the US, and clean water issues in Nevada and California.
My research focuses on theoretical and applied statistical analysis of complex (non-linear) dynamical systems, with emphasis on spatio-temporal pattern formation and development of extreme events. Specifically, I work on multiscale methods of time series analysis, heavy-tailed random processes, and spatial statistics. This choice is predicated by the essential common properties of the observed complex systems: they tend to evolve in multiple spatio-temporal scales; and have observables that exhibit absence of characteristic size, long-range correlations in space-time, and not-negligible probability of assuming extremely large values. The underlying methods of analysis include those of hierarchical aggregation and its inverse - branching processes.
Examples of the observed systems relevant to my research include the Earth's lithosphere which generates destructive earthquakes, its atmosphere that produces El-Ninos, stock-markets subject to financial crashes, etc. My current applications and ongoing collaborations are in Solid Earth geophysics (seismology, geodynamics), climate dynamics, computational finance, biology, and hydrology.

Face The Fat Reality Lyrics - Hades
Your chart shows, truth you soundly deny
The stars hold, your life's blueprints
You smirk and pass them by
You just pass them by
(You're a) velvet hand inside an iron glove
Alone there, praising the very thoughts you're
Thinking of
Your veil of charm is pulled back
For all within sight
To gaze upon in surprise
I'm staring with delight!
You cannot change your fate! No!
Selfish anger on your face
Oh stop it, you're breaking my heart!
You love the fine art of disgrace
But not when it's cast in your part!
You should have listened up, and seen your faults
Narcissism gets you nowhere at all!
Nowhere at all!

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Phoenix wing Steve Sullivan needed only three games to underscore the value of his offseason acquisition as a combination veteran clubhouse presence and offensive spark. "You are brought in for a certain reason, and you don't want to disappoint. I think it is no different for myself," Sullivan said. "I want to go make sure I go out and do the best I can. If the goals come, that's great." The goals came Wednesday, when Sullivan had his eighth career hat trick to lead the Coyotes to their first victory of the season, 5-1 over Columbus at Jobing.com Arena. Sullivan tipped in a shot from Derek Morris 10:01 into the third period to give the Coyotes a 4-1 lead, completing the hat trick. Sullivan scored on a 5-on-3 power play for a 3-1 lead four minutes into the third period after tying the game at 1 with 12 minutes remaining in the second period.

Nov 11. holiday not necessary, Fantino says
Not statutory in most populous provinces
Jason Fekete, Postmedia NewsPublished: Saturday, November 09, 2013
It's a hallowed day in Canada and one marked by poppies and ceremonies across the country, but for how revered Remembrance Day is to Canadians - and a Conservative government that trumpets Canada's military heritage - Nov. 11 is not a national statutory holiday.
A number of provinces representing more than half of Canada's population - Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba and Nova Scotia - do not recognize Remembrance Day as an official paid statutory holiday. However, certain workplaces in those provinces (particularly in Manitoba and Nova Scotia) are prohibited from opening in some cases, workers are still owed the day off in other cases, and employers can voluntarily offer the day off to employees.
But the rest of the provinces and territories - British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut - do mark it as a paid general holiday, with differing legislation on how it affects businesses and workers. Federal government employees also receive the day off with pay.
B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, P.E.I, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut mark Nov. 11 as a paid general holiday.
Aaron Lynett, Postmedia News
A number of opposition MPs say the day should be treated as a national statutory holiday, while some Conservatives say it's worth examining. However, Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino does not believe a holiday is necessary to mark its importance and have Canadians pay their respects.
Fantino said he looks at things "beyond the holiday," noting he was just at a school in Montreal attending a service with veterans and serving members of the military. The ceremony involved the entire faculty and 300 or 400 students who took time away from their regular curriculum for a twohour commemorative ceremony. "So I don't know if you need to have a holiday per se, but I certainly want to make sure that the day is dignified," Fantino told Postmedia News. "That we at least once a year take time out to pay tribute and homage to our veterans and those who didn't come home. So the sanctity of that, to me, is far more important than how we do it."
Veterans Affairs says the federal government recognizes Remembrance Day in the Holidays Act as a national holiday. However, it doesn't force provinces to treat Nov. 11 as a paid statutory holiday.
Ontario is a particularly interesting case because while it does not treat Remembrance Day as a holiday, federal government workers - the majority of which are in the National Capital Region - receive the day off. All core Ontario provincial government employees also receive a paid day off.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry
There is an auction on eBay right now, for an account on Star Wars Galaxies where the character is a Jedi Knight. The asking price? $600 smakers to start, with a buy right now of $3K! Wow! Who's going to pay that much? SWG isn't as populous as it once was, and I don't think anyone would pay that amount for an account. Especially considering it would literally take years for someone to buy their own account and play before they reached $3K. I'd bet they would make a Jedi too. Just rediculous…

Thank you so much! This was an amazing event. I am in the depth of a depression, which in no small part is fueled by obstacles in my career and what I perceive as my own shortcomings. This event came as a wonderful respite and encouragement. In these days following my mood has been brighter than is has for months.
I had just seen the producer of "MissRepresentation" speak five days before. What an eye-opening experience to hear Barbara say the same things the movie points out: She gets one word for every ten words the men speak on that show; she was passed over originally for a busty, blonde; she has the doubt that she doesn't belong there. It was refreshing for her to say that's when she pulls out her lesson learned: "I deserve to be here!/I belong here!"
I love the mix of excitement, commitment, and drive for one cause - Women! Thank you to the IWLC for brining all of us together! A job well done!
Betsy was my favorite part of the day and Barbara was very entertaining. I also enjoyed hearing more about the SHE Matters report... and what perfect timing. Thank you for all of the hard work you do to make these events possible!
The thing I appreciated most about Barbara was that she reminded me that leadership takes many forms. I believe her perseverance and confidence were great lessons for me.
Betsy's message applies to a wide range of industries, professions, and even into personal lives. I left this feeling highly motivated, and have even quoted Betsy to others within the week since the conference.
I haven't participated in a women's leadership event for a long time, and it was a real treat to myself to attend the conference this year. The speakers were great, and I really enjoyed networking with other professional women. Sometimes when you are an independent business owner, you get so buried in the day-to-day work that you forget to take time to nourish yourself and your brain.
"Learn to be quiet enough to hear the genuine within yourself so that you can hear it in others." Marian Wright Edelman (2009 Conference Speaker)

The world of oral care might be running in place for the next few years, but innovation and value appear to leave the private label industry in the right place to make
A recent report from Mintel Group Ltd. shows that the aging baby boomers will drive oral care sales in the near future.
A Mintel Group Ltd. report, "Oral Care – U.S." from June shows that the oral care category showed about $8.2 billion in sales in 2011, but that growth was expected to decline in the category slightly to $8.07 billion in sales by 2016.
Still, the slow recovery from the Great Recession has helped private label make some gains in the categories. Mintel's report shows the "allure of affordable oral care products," by gaining an 8.1 percent share of the market as of March 18, 2012. That's a greater share than both GlaxoSmithKline and Church & Dwight, the report showed.
And the latest data from Chicago-based SymphonyIRI shows that it is the outside categories in oral care where private label is charging forward rather than traditional stalwarts such as toothbrushes.
Private label sales in dental accessories and tools rose 10.7 percent in 2012, according to SymphonyIRI, now claiming a 3.8 percent share of the overall category.
"Specialty and interdental items are picking up steam," said Tony Clark, vice president of sales for Morristown, Tenn.-based manufacturer DentaCare. "Picks, mirrors, scalers, cap and crown repair or orthodontic kits, they're all things that aren't really brand dominated. So we see a real opportunity. We've been preaching it for a couple of years now."
Clark said retailers have begun to explore the private label opportunities in the segment more recently.
"In many cases there's no need to have a compare-to because it's a function, not something you're going after because of the brand," he said. "If you've got a broken cap or crown, it doesn't matter if it's a Rite-Aid brand or CVS brand or a national brand. You've got to get it fixed."
The next largest segment in private label behind dental accessories is manual toothbrushes, and although sales declined last year it still makes up 3.6 percent of the dollar share of the category. Power toothbrushes account for another 0.6 percent share, with whitening products gaining 13 percent in dollar sales last year, claiming a 1.6 percent share of the market.
"Domestically, whitening, power toothbrushes and replacement brush heads are big opportunity for our retail customers, and are key areas of focus for private label," said Christine Henisee, CEO for Ranir, a Michigan-based manufacturer of oral and personal healthcare products. "However, because these categories are driven by high technology requirements, barriers to success are high. Recent Ranir product advancements include our dry touch technology in our new whitening products. Easy to use with no messy gels."
Dental floss also made gains, up 1.9 percent in sales in 2012 to claim a 1.5 percent share.
Mintel's report took a keen eye to private label in dental floss.
"More than two in 10 respondents use either Crest Glide or Johnson & Johnson Reach," it said. "Other floss brands rank far lower. However, it is important to note that 20 percent of respondents use store brands, and 18 percent of respondents are using brands from the 'other' category, indicating that brand is not as important for consumers in this segment."
Clark said that sensitivity products were another area that DentaCare saw growth opportunities in going forward. SymphonyIRI data showed oral pain relief growing 13.8 percent last year with more than 1 percent share of the market.
"Sensitivity products that help seal out any issues will be a growing trend," he said. "We have a sealant that deadens the pain for an extended period of time instead of a shorter one."
Products such as dental accessories and sensitivity are perfectly suited toward an aging population that Mintel's report said will drive future business.
"In particular, the large, aging baby boomer population will be impactful for this market, as their need for better oral care will increase as they move into older age brackets," it said.
Ranir's Henisee said her company believed that the opportunities in the senior market were not simply a function of baby boomers but a trend expected to show gains through 2020.
"Ranir is exploring how best to meet the future needs of the aging demographic, including product enhancements that make our products easier to use, with solutions that address the tactile challenges that come with age," she said. "Some current examples of how Ranir is accommodating this audience is in our power brush products, which provide a helpful solution to those with less dexterity. Easy to push 'buttons' and large grip handles with elastomers make holding and operating effortless.
"Interdental brushes is another category that meets the need of the older population. As you age, gums recede, and interdental brushes are an easy-to-use product to clean spaces between teeth. Similarly, dental flossers provide a convenient way to floss for the aging population."
The value proposition holds that continued private label growth is expected, Mintel said.
"Many consumers are keeping a tight rein on spending, even for everyday and household items such as oral care, and are more likely to trade down to private label and store brands," the report said.
Henisee said her company ensured that it was able to bring quality and value to retailers in its program.
"The value proposition for private label has been trending up for some time, and started long before the recession," she said. "At Ranir, we consumer-test all of our products that have national brand compare-tos. We do this to ensure our products have been validated by consumers long before they reach the store shelves. It's also a critical step in our commitment to delivering high service levels to our customers."
On the vision side, private label made strong gains in 2012. The overall eye and contact lens care category rose 5 percent in 2012, according to SymphonyIRI, but private label sales in lens care solutions climbed 6.8 percent, up to a 12.8 percent share in the category. Tables and accessories rose 6.9 percent and now have a 1.4 percent share in the category.

A little about me...
Much to be thankful for: health, happiness, and a life I love.
Someone to share it with would be nice, I would like to spend the next decade seeing the world, especially more of Italy, where my family comes from. I am an energetic, classic, well-educated woman, who wants to have a meaningful, loving partnership to make life more complete. I love ballroom dancing and have also started with Argentine tango.
About the one I'm looking for...
I love to ballroom dance and would love to meet someone who also does. If you like bicycling and walking on the converted old railroad beds, we'd spend time doing that regularly, but not in this kind of weather!). You would be my guy if you are into gardening, museums, bed & breakfasts, the arts and Caribbean and European travel. Are you happy, kind, fun and positive? Do you like to have meaningful conversations after the movies or plays? Do you have good friends and enjoy your kids and grandkids? Are you energetic enough to fill your day and nights with meaningful activities? I am hoping to find a terrifically open and honest guy who wants an active, affectionate and sassy woman.
I'd just like to add...
I'm not looking for a perfect person, just a person who is perfect for me.

March 14, 2007, 9:31 PM
By C.J. Chivers
Just After 2:00 p.m. The Weight Room.
Kazbek Misikov tried to focus. He had fainted from blood loss, but Atsamaz revived him by dumping water on his face. He knew he had to rally himself. Roughly a dozen hostages remained in the weight room, but only three were adults, and he was the only man. Heat and orange glow emanated from the gym. Sounds of battle boomed outside. They were in a seam, forgotten but alive.
The barred windows offered no escape. Irina found paper and made a sign with red lipstick. DETI, it read, Russian for "children." She held it up at a window so they would not be shot. Kazbek staggered beside her, put his head at the window, where it was exposed. "There are children here!" he shouted. "Do not shoot!"
He was wearing a bloody turban and wondered if he would be mistaken for an Arab. Peering into the narrow alley, he saw the district prosecutor looking back. They both were startled. "Alan!" Kazbek said.
The prosecutor rushed to the window. "What can we do?" he said.
He was accompanied by a man with a rifle, and Kazbek asked him to aim at the door, in case a terrorist returned. He was weak but managed to lift a barbell and pass it between the bars. The men outside used it as a lever and popped the frame free. An escape route was open. Irina started handing out children: First the little ones, and then the adults helped her with a badly burned teenage girl. When the last child was out, the adults followed.
The Misikovs emerged behind the school. Soldiers passed them going the other way, rushing to penetrate the building through the hole they had made. The fire in the gym roof, which had spread slowly, was now a conflagration. Smoke rose over the neighborhood. Kazbek moved woozily to a stretcher, lay down, and slipped out of consciousness.
The children were handed from rescuer to rescuer in a chain. Atsamaz was passed along with the others until he ended up in the arms of Slavik, his uncle, a face he knew in the chaos. Slavik embraced him. Atsamaz realized he had been saved. He clung to the man. "Papa promised me I could have a Coke," he said.
After 2:00 p.m. The Cafeteria.
Less than fifteen minutes after Irina Naldikoyeva and her son found refuge in the auditorium, the terrorists forced them downstairs to the cafeteria and its tableau of misery. Hostages crowded the room, partially dressed, soiled, riddled with shrapnel, shot, burned, dehydrated, and stunned. Irina saw her niece, Vika, slumped beneath a window, her long black hair matted with sweat. "Where is Alana?" she asked.
"Here," Vika said, pointing to a child, naked except for dirty panties, curled under a table.
Bullets were coming in from the Russians firing outside. Irina grabbed her children and scrambled with them along the floor, stopping against a large freezer, panting. A terrorist handed her a bucket of water, and she tilted it and gave each child a drink. They gulped voraciously. At last it was her turn, and she put the bucket to her lips, poured the cool water onto her tongue, eager for it to hit her parched throat. But instead the water splashed onto her floral blouse. Irina did not understand and reached under her chin and felt the place where shrapnel had passed through. The bottom of her mouth was an open hole. Blood and water soaked her torso. She put the bucket aside.
Around her were at least six dead children, and she knew this place was not safe. She crawled to the dish-washing room, pushed the children under the sinks, and lay her body across them. Bullets kept coming. Some skipped off window frames or iron bars and whirred by, ricochets. One plunked the sink above her son.
A terrorist was on his back on the floor, motionless with his mouth open, showing gold teeth. His head had been bandaged. In the cupboards along the floor were more small children, hiding with pots and pans. The terrorist stood and lurched back to fight. On the other side of the door, Lora Karkuzashvili stood at a window. Aida Archegova was to her right. Abdullah was ducking and shooting, moving between them. Ibragim was in the corner, firing through the bars, his arms streaked in blood. Volleys of bullets came back in. Lora was struck in the chest, dropped, and did not move. Aida was standing, shouting and waving a cloth. A boy sat beside her, exposed. "Do not shoot!" Aida screamed.
Aida had been at the window for at least twenty minutes; somehow the bullets missed her and the child. She did not know his name; only once had he spoken. "I do not want to die," he said. Every chance she had, she put him on the floor. Always Abdullah told her to put him back. But Abdullah looked away again, and Aida swung the boy off the sill and placed him under a table. She stood upright and felt a tremendous slap on the left side of her face. The impact spun her head. Much of her jaw was gone. She had been hit. She looked at Abdullah, who was using her for cover. "May I sit now?" she tried to ask. "I am bad."
"I do not care if you are bad or good," he said. "Stand if you want to live."
She was dizzy. There was an explosion. Aida fell.
Everyone was wounded, cowering, or dead. A creaking and rumbling sounded outside, and the turret of a T-72 tank appeared near the fence bordering the school grounds. Its barrel flashed. There was a concussive boom. The entire facade shook. Dust fell from the ceiling. The shell had struck another room.
Mid-Afternoon. The Gym.
Pushed away by flame, sniper fire, and charging infantry, the terrorists yielded the gym. The place in which they had confined more than eleven hundred people, the pen with its matrix of bombs, was no longer theirs. Flames rolled along its ceiling and roof. Beneath the fire, on the basketball court, corpses and gravely injured hostages were spread across the floorboards, partially dressed or nearly naked, twisted into unnatural shapes. Heat seared the room.
For a long time almost no one moved, but at last Marina Kanukova, a first-grade teacher who had been feigning death with a third-grade girl, stirred. The heat had become too much, and she had heard a soldier's voice telling those who were alive to crawl to safety. The bodies were too thick to crawl over, so she took the child by the hand, crouched, and with flames roaring overhead they stepped across the dead to the weight room, where they were met by soldiers and local men, who directed them out a window. Behind her, bit by bit, coals and the flaming roof were dropping onto the injured and the dead. The air filled with smells of burning plastic and roasting hair and flesh.
Flanked by the Special Forces, a BTR-80 had arrived on the gym's western side. An eight-wheeled armored vehicle with a 14.5mm machine gun on a turret, it rolled toward the door where the hostages had first been forced into the school, its gun firing as it advanced, and rammed the wall and windows.
Soldiers and local men climbed into the bathroom and freed a group of screaming, terrified hostages, many slicked in blood and shit. Teams of soldiers pushed into the school. The Russians were inside at last, possessing opposite ends of the gym. Their storm had come late. On the basketball court, burning bodies were before them by the score.
Mid-Afternoon. The Cafeteria.
The survivors slumped in the corner by the dish-washing room, perhaps twenty-five people crammed in a tiny space. Still the bullets kept coming. A crash sounded along the outside wall; they noticed that the iron bars on the window in the left corner were gone. Three Russian commandos climbed in.
They were a fit and nimble trio, carrying rifles and wearing body armor and helmets. They stood among the dead and the injured, weapons ready, blood, broken glass, and spent shells around their feet. One of them bled from his hand. "Where are the bastards?" one whispered.
A door to the storerooms swung open. Ibragim was there. Simultaneously, the commandos and the terrorist opened fire over the hostages. Ibragim stepped aside, then reappeared, holding two hand grenades. Bullets hit him as he let them go.
Time seemed to slow.
Larisa Kudziyeva watched one of the grenades, a smooth metal oval about the size of a lime, as it passed over her, fell to the floor, and bounced off the kitchen tile toward the soldiers. Her son was beneath her and her daughter beside her. She squeezed the boy, threw her leg and arm over him, and swung her other hand over her daughter's face.
A hand grenade is a small explosive charge surrounded by a metal shell, whose detonation is controlled by a fuse with a few-second delay. When the charge explodes, it shatters the metal exterior, turning it into bits of shrapnel that rush away at thousands of feet per second, accompanied by a shock wave and heat. It can kill a man fifteen yards away. The nook was less than six yards across.
The grenade exploded.
After the wave of metal hit her, Larisa was encased in something like silence, a state in which the absence of sound was overlaid by the ringing in her ears, leaving her to feel an effect like a struck crystal glass. How easy it is to die, she thought. But she did not die, not immediately, and as if in a dream she ran an arm over her son, who was beneath her. He was alive. "Mama," he said. "Mamochka."
The shrapnel had blasted the right side of her face, tearing part of it off, and ruined her right arm. Larisa did not want the boy to see what had become of her and turned away and raised her left hand to her face. Her fingertips felt wet flesh and exposed bone. The bone fragments were sharp enough to prick. She passed out.
Her daughter crawled to her. A teacher beside Larisa was missing a leg. One of the commandos was dead. The children Madina had escorted in were dead. One of Larisa's neighbors was dead. Another teacher was dead. The grisly mess extended through the room.
Larisa looked dead, but Madina checked her pulse, finding life. More commandos climbed in. They told the survivors to follow them out. "My mother is still alive," Madina said.
"We will take care of her," a soldier said.
Madina picked up her little brother, handed him out the window to a man outside. The man helped her down, too, and the brother and sister ran out into the neighborhood. They were saved.
Inside the dish-washing room, Irina Naldikoyeva had felt the wall shake, but she remained on top of her children, holding them down, unsure what had happened. There were two doors into the tiny room, and after a few minutes a man's head appeared along the floor at one of them. It was a commando, crawling. He wore a helmet. His face was sweaty. Irina understood: Russians were inside. The children hiding with the pots understood, too. The cupboard doors flew open and they scuttled out and bounded past him, looking for a way out.
Irina followed with Kazbek and Alana, out the door, past the mangled corpses, to the window. She handed out the children and then shinnied down. She was out, in autumnal air, standing on grass. She walked unsteadily and turned the corner at the first house on Kominterna Street. She did not know where her children had gone. She sat on the ground. Someone came and led her away.
Late Afternoon. A Classroom.
Kira Guldayeva hid with Georgy in the classroom as the sound of gunfire rose and fell. Six Kalashnikovs were stacked against the wall. Camouflage clothing was strewn on the floor. The walls were streaked with blood, as if during the battle injured terrorists had congregated here. Kira pulled Georgy close. He was a small boy, wearing only underpants. She checked him for injuries and found tiny holes where shrapnel had entered his back, buttocks, and one of his feet. Blood beaded from each wound. Her injuries were worse, a catalog of the afternoon's hazards: She had been shot twice, and one bullet had passed through her arm. Shrapnel had struck her shoulder. She had been burned.
She sat for a long time, afraid the terrorists might return and wondering when the rescuers might reach them. "Stay here," she told the boy, and crept to the door.
A Russian soldier stood across the hall. They appraised each other, two faces in the chaos. He dashed toward her.
As he crossed the open, gunfire boomed. A bullet slammed into his head. He staggered into the room, dropped his rifle, grasped for his helmet, and collapsed. He did not move. His dropped rifle pointed at Kira and Georgy; she pushed it away with a board.
Another soldier followed him in and leaned against the wall. He was injured, too. "Lie down," he said to them, and began applying a bandage to his leg. A microphone hung at his throat, into which he spoke in clipped tones. More soldiers entered. The school was falling under Russian control.
They put Kira and Georgy on stretchers, and she was handed through a window. Litter bearers ran with her, tripped, and dropped her to the ground. "Where is the boy?" she screamed. "Where is the boy?"
Late Afternoon. The Cafeteria.
Larisa Kudziyeva awoke, unsure how much time she had spent on the floor. The hostages near her were all dead. She tried to move, but her right arm felt as if someone were atop it.
Much of her face was gone; soldiers stepped past her as if she were a corpse. They seemed calmer, having for the moment taken control of the room. One stood above her, a blurry form. She raised her left hand to wipe blood from her eyes. He glanced down, surprised. "Girl, be patient," he said. "They will bring stretchers."
His voice sounded kind. If he can call me girl when I look like this, she thought, then I can wait. She drifted to sleep.
Late Night. A Hospital Room in Vladikavkaz.
Nikolai Albegov arrived at the door and surveyed his son's wife. He was sixty-six, a retired truck driver, fidgeting where he stood. The thin frame of Irina Naldikoyeva, his daughter-in-law, was extended on the bed. Her head and her neck were wrapped in gauze. She was foggy from painkillers. An IV snaked into her arm.
Throughout Beslan and Vladikavkaz a fresh horror was descending. The morgue in Beslan was overflowing, and bodies were laid on the grass. Vladikavkaz's morgue also had a growing display of corpses waiting to be claimed. The dashes out of the school, and the rescues, had been so spontaneous and disorganized that many families were not sure whether their spouses and children had survived. The families also heard of blackened remains encased on the basketball court under the collapsed roof. The living roamed among the dead, peering at the unclaimed, looking for their own.
Nikolai's family had been spared this. For nine years Irina had lived in his home. She had borne the family a son and a daughter and performed much of the daily labor. Nikolai kept one of the most traditional households in Beslan, and under the mountain customs he observed, he was the khozyain, the elder of his domain. Irina was not allowed to address him. She had never spoken to him unless he had asked her a question. They had never embraced.
He stood at the door in a suit, a leathery, strong-handed old man in his very best clothes, assessing the woman who had come into his home. He did not yet know what had happened in the school. But she had brought his family out. Tears ran down his dark face. He walked to her bed, found a spot on her face where there was no bandage, and gave her a kiss.
September 4. Evening. A Hospital Room in Vladikavkaz.
The doctor assessed Larisa Kudziyeva. Twice they had operated on her, but she had remained in a coma. Shrapnel had cut too many holes through her; blood transfusions leaked out. Her blood pressure had sunk. She was near death. The hospital was overwhelmed with patients, and at last Larisa was triaged. Nurses washed her and put a tag on her toe.
But Larisa Kudziyeva would not die, and hours later another doctor found her alive where she had been left for dead. Early on September 4 she was put back on an operating table. Much of her eye socket was gone. The right side of her face was mashed. Her right arm was shredded and broken in three places. Her middle finger was snapped. Her side had absorbed a shock wave and shrapnel blast. But the metal had missed her main arteries and her right lung. She stabilized before sunrise.
Now she was awake, barely. The surgeon questioned her, running through a simple neurological exam.
"What is your birthday?" he asked.
"The fourteenth," she said.
"What month?"
"May," she said. It was true. But it was not.
"No, forget that day," the doctor said. "Your birthday is September fourth."
The Beslan siege claimed a greater toll of human life than all but one act of modern terrorism, the destruction of the World Trade Center. The terrorists' actions and the bungled rescue efforts ended with the deaths of 331 people, not counting the 31 terrorists the Russian government says were killed. Among the dead were 186 children and 10 members of Russia's Special Forces, whose individual acts of courage were undermined by the incompetence of their government's counterterrorism response. More than seven hundred other people were injured, most of them children.
The siege ended with no victor. Faith in Russia's government, and the ability of its security agencies to protect its citizens, has been shaken. Sympathy for Chechen independence has shrunk. Even some of Chechnya's separatist fighters, men claiming loyalty to Shamil Basayev, have questioned the utility and rationale of such tactics, although the underground rebel government, unwisely, has not distanced itself from Basayev, who was appointed its first deputy prime minister in 2005. His retention of such a post, no matter his earlier guerrilla prowess, discredits the separatists and is grounds for shame.
The Russian and North Ossetian parliaments have opened investigations into the terrorist act, which thus far have led to inconclusive findings and drawn accusations of cover-ups from survivors and the bereaved. Official lies have eroded public confidence, including the insistence during the siege that only 354 hostages were seized, and an enduring insistence that the T-72 tanks did not fire until all the survivors were out, which is false. It remains unclear, and a source of acrimonious debate, what caused the first two explosions and the fire in the gym, although the available evidence, on balance, suggests that the blast damage and the majority of the human injury were caused by the terrorists' bombs. There is similar uncertainty about the reason behind the explosion of the shahidka. Other points of contention include what help, if any, the terrorists received from inside Beslan, whether the terrorists hid weapons in the school before the attack, how many terrorists were present, and whether several of them escaped. A third of the dead terrorists have not been publicly identified, and their names are officially unknown. Ibragim was killed; this is clear. But many hostages, including Larisa Kudziyeva and Kazbek Misikov, have studied the known pictures of the dead terrorists and insist that Ali, previously known as Baisangur, and others were not among the dead and were not seen on the last day of the siege.
Almost all of the surviving hostages remain in North Ossetia, and many continue to receive treatment, including Larisa, who had endured fourteen surgeries through early April 2006 and is expecting two more. Aida Archegova, who became a human shield after searching for her son Soslan, was rescued and later learned that Soslan escaped. Her face has been rebuilt, with bone from her hip grafted to fashion a replacement jaw. She has never again seen the boy who was a human shield with her and does not know whether he is alive. Sarmat Bolloyev survived. Lora Karkuzashvili, the human shield shot in the chest by rescuers, did not. Alina Kudzayeva, the wife of Aslan Kudzayev, who jumped from the window of the literature classroom, was freed with their nineteen-month-old daughter and other breast-feeding mothers; the remains of her mother, Tina Dudiyeva, who shielded Dzera, the bell ringer, were found in the gym. Albert Sidakov, who opted not to jump with Aslan, was killed, as were both sons of Ruslan Betrozov, the man who stood to translate the terrorists' instructions. Fatima Tskayeva, who sent out her infant but stayed behind with her two other children, died with her daughter Kristina. Makhar, Fatima's three-year-old son, was saved. Karen Mdinaradze, who survived execution, was questioned by a detective at the hospital, who thought that he might be a terrorist masquerading as a fleeing hostage; he was eventually treated properly. His ruined left eye has been replaced with an artificial one. Even up close it looks real. Kazbek Misikov and his family recovered from most of their injuries, although Kazbek's arms remain damaged and he is classified an invalid. On January 22, 2006, his wife, Irina Dzutseva, gave birth to a third son, Elbrus, who is named, like his father, for a mountain that soars above the others on the Caucasus ridge.

NFL Week 17 Injury Report: Cleveland Browns To Play Without Trent Richardson, Brandon Weeden And Colt McCoy?
Originally written on thepigskinreport.com | Last updated 11/20/14
The Cleveland Browns are not going to the NFL Playoffs once again this season. They have struggled through growing pains throughout the 2012 NFL regular season, and may be forced to do so even more in the Week 17 finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Due to various injuries to countless starters, the Browns may be forced to suffer through what could be their toughest game all season long, as Trent Richardson, Brandon Weeden and Colt McCoy may all watch this one from the sidelines. According to multiple sources, the Browns have already ruled Richardson out for the season finale on Sunday on the road against the Steelers. It never looked likely that Richardson would play, but the odds now appear to be zero. He will not get the opportunity to rush for 50 more yards to reach 1,000 in his rookie season. Weeden may also be forced to finish his rookie season with Cleveland on the sidelines, as a shoulder injury has kept him out of practice all week long. McCoy is said to be closer to bei...

Pam's unreal Thai
When I'm approaching 49th St. and 9th Av., it's hard for me not to turn the corner and go to Gazala Place for great Israeli food, but I wanted spicy food today and thought I'd take a break from Wondee.
I've had good meals at Pam before, but I was really pissed off by today's dinner. I ordered Tod Mun Pla, Som Tom, and Duck Prik Khing. I told the waiter that we (my girlfriend and I) like spicy and Thai style, not American style. He gave what looked like a knowing and indulgent smile, but turned out to be a "You don't know what you're talking about, white boy" smile. The Tod Mun was the only dish that was fairly robustly spicy, because of the dipping sauce, which tasted good but could have been less sweet. The Som Tom had no spiciness whatsoever, and the Duck Prik Khing was maybe barely moderately spicy. I asked for some bird's eye chilis and was given some cut-up ones (a better idea than whole ones); they made the Som Tom a lot better and also improved the duck, but there's no doubt the duck, in particular, would have been a lot better had it been cooked with more chilis. At the end, the waiter asked how everything was, and I told him the same thing I just posted here, adding that he should listen to what people say, and that perhaps if I had told him I used to live in Malaysia, he might have taken me seriously (I doubt it, though).
It greatly angers me when the quality of my food is dependent on who my waiter is, to the extent that certain waiters look at my appearance and disregard what I say I want. I would respect anyone who believes I'm overreacting, but the way I feel is that Pam "Real" Thai is on my shit list now. I will not return any time soon and will no longer recommend it.

404 W 49th St, New York, NY 10019
I was irritated just reading about your experience. (I've had good robust spicing there, but haven't been for a couple of years.)
What response did you get when you took your complaint above the server level, to a manager or supervisor?

404 W 49th St, New York, NY 10019
re: squid kun
This irritated me, too. Had you not *specifically* asked for your food "Thai spicy," I'd get it but, come on!
god I HATE when it's dumbed down, OP had lived in Malaysia, but that's really beside the point IMHO. the only time that service approach was ok was at an "eat-easy" in Oakland, CA (no sign, no name, no phone) and the owner was the waiter, warned if i wanted hot, I really wanted medium. he was right. I was so used to asking for it to be ramped up, when I finally found the right place I could have blown a gasket.
re: hill food
One time, the food at Wondee was actually too hot for my girlfriend and me, but we wouldn't admit it because we've found that when they decrease the chili, they decrease the rest of the taste, so we just had more water and more rice and dealt with it. And while it was very spicy, it was also very tasty.
re: InfoMofo
I agree. My meals there have been erratic, and I tend not to go there anymore.
re: gutsofsteel
Where do you recommend for Thai? (I'm visiting in Sept and had Pam Real Thai on my list since I heard they were known for their papaya salad)

75 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10003
We've had better luck with the 47th St outpost and have stopped going to 49th for pretty much the same reason. You still have to insist on the spiciness. They took pla nam tod (whole steamed snapper with ginger, lime and chili) off the printed menu (the waitress said people only wanted fried fish...) but you can ask for it - our favorite dish there.
My initial reaction is to remind you that most New Yorkers, are people like myself who can't handle the spice...but then I remembered, I'd never walk into a That restaurant and say the words "give me real Thai spicy". Why wouldn't they trust you? You can't complain food is too spicy once you made a special request.
I had the same problem last night at Zaab Elee. The first time i went they asked me how spicy and they listened. This time they assured me it would be spicy , not New York spicy Thai spicy. In Thailand the food is more spicy than one can imagine, but awesome. I was so disappointed, i hate when they don't listen, or think you really mean farang spicy.
re: foodwhisperer
I haven't had such problems at Zabb Elee so far. If I order spiciness level 2, they don't wimp out. Level 3 is a bit of a challenge for me and a bit too hot for my girlfriend. If you want to blow the roof off, I guess you could ask for level 4 or 5.

re: Pan
I am not sure why the spiciness level is an issue, or at least it has never been an issue with me. Or could it be that my answer has always been direct and maybe somewhat blunt? Is it because, in my culture, direct questions can sometimes be considered rude and hence provoke a blunt reply?
I'd typically reply, How spicy? Eh, I don't know. Please make it the way it should be. If it's not spicy enough, you will never see us again. Works like a charm, all the time, every time. Well, for a full disclosure I don't look or sound like a 100% Yankee.
re: diprey11
"I don't look or sound like a 100% Yankee."
that can mean so many things. care to specify?
re: hill food
People do use stereotypes. Your waiter might have different suggestions depending on how he/she perceives you, that is, on how you look or sound, and the whole communication style can be culturally-specific too. What works for me may or may not work for someone else.
That's why some places have two menus. How do they decide which one to give you? What is up with the whole idea of American- vs Thai-spicy? They are simply trying to serve you better...
re: diprey11
Well, at Zabb Elee, if you really want them to make it spicy, they can blow the roof off. I have a pretty high spice tolerance, but I know that I would not be able to eat their Level 5.
I'm not too familiar with the etiquette of this sort of situation, but is this the kind of incident where it might be appropriate to send back a dish? I mean, I might be wrong here, but I'd think that if you specifically ask for something to be spicy, and when it's served it's not spicy, then that's not what you ordered. If you're not getting what you asked for, I don't see why you should be expected to then eat and pay for it.
re: sanjacinto
I certainly could have sent food back if I hadn't been so hungry and wanted to wait long enough to get someone's attention.

MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) -- A defense lawyer says a Bahraini court has lifted a travel ban against the head of the Gulf island nation's main opposition group.
Lawyer Abdullah al-Shamlawi said on Monday that prosecutors agreed to a defense request to lift the ban against Ali Salman, the head of the Shiite bloc al-Wefaq.
Salman was summoned by authorities in late December for questioning on allegations of incitement over comments made in a sermon. He was accused of using sectarian language, inciting hatred against the Sunni-led government and promoted rioting and vandalism.
He was let go but barred from traveling abroad while prosecutors considered the case.
The development comes less than two weeks after Salman and other opposition leaders met with Bahrain's crown prince in talks aimed at diffusing nearly three years of unrest.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Hedo Turkoglu has reportedly agreed to join the Portland Trail Blazers after helping Orlando reach the NBA finals this season.
ESPN.com on Friday cited unidentified and did not disclose terms. Turkoglu's agent, Lon Babby, did not immediately return calls or e-mails. Portland cannot comment on the agreement until Wednesday, when teams may sign free agents.
The 6-foot-10 forward arrived in Portland on Thursday to meet Blazer executives and tour the city.
He opted out of his Orlando contract last week when the team acquired Vince Carter from New Jersey. Turkoglu was due $7.3 million next season in the final year of his $36 million, six-year deal with Orlando. He averaged 16.8 points and 5.3 rebounds last season.

UNESCO awards Turkish journalist
Friday, April 11, 2014
PARIS - Turkish journalist Ahmet Şık was named winner of the 2014 UNESCO Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize by the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
"An international, independent jury of media professionals" named " Turkish investigative journalist Ahmet Şık" the winner because he is "an ardent defender of freedom of expression, and has devoted his career to denouncing corruption and human rights abuses."
Şık, a freelance journalist, photographer and writer, reported for the newspapers, Cumhuriyet, Evrensel, Yeni Yuzyil and Radikal. In 2011, he was arrested and detained on charges of being linked to Ergenekon, just months before the planned publication of his latest book, "The Imam's Army".
The book investigates the controversial Gulen movement of the U.S.-based scholar Fethullah Gulen.
Şık was later released from detention in March 2012 while awaiting trial and resumed his professional activities.
He will be awarded a US$25,000 as part of UNESCO celebrations for World Press Freedom Day on 3 May. This year, the award ceremony will take place at UNESCO's Paris Headquarters on Friday, 2 May.
The UNESCO' Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom prize was established in 1997 by UNESCO's Executive Board. It honors a person, organization or institution that has made an outstanding contribution to the defense and/or promotion of press freedom anywhere in the world, especially when this has been achieved in the face of danger.
