China & Africa in the Age of Globalization
A talk by Professor Sophal Ear presented by The John Parke Young Initiative on the Global Economy.
Sophal Ear is an Assistant Professor in the Department of National Security Affairs at the US Naval Postgraduate School. He has taught on thehospital ship USNS Mercy in support of the Pacific Partnership 2008. He completed his postdoc at the Maxwell School at Syracuse University, where he taught Policy and Administration in Developing Countries.
Before entering academia, he consulted for the World Bank and worked for the United Nations Development Programme. Early in his career he traveled to the West Bank and Gaza, and to Algeria, on social protection projects, where he gained a firsthand understanding of the realities of foreign aid on a national scale. Having grown up on Aid to Families with Dependent Children, he personally knew there were pitfalls to welfare system.
He came to the US at the age of 10 as a Cambodian refugee via France after his mother escaped with him and his four siblings from the Khmer Rouge by posing as a Vietnamese woman. She recounted her journey to him in an article in The New York Times.

Red and White Cabbage SaladThis was interesting. Not your typical KFC coleslaw, but still good. Not great, but decent. If you like crunchy cabbage, then you will probably like this recipe. I like the color even though the red cabbage is more purple, it is still festive. Be careful with your amounts of cabbage. It only calls for 2 cups!

Film3 — maths at the moviesMathematical films will be featured next week in the Edinburgh International Science Festival's mathematics film festival Film3 — maths at the movies. Pi will be featured on 1 April.
The season of mathematical movies was created by the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences and Filmhouse Cinema to showcase three very different independent films. Each film is based around a mathematical concept, but also provides an element of social commentary. The season opens on 27 March with the UK premiere of the highly acclaimed animation, Flatland the Film. Based on the 1889 novel by Edwin A. Abbot, the film tackles issues revolving around race, gender, religion and globalisation. Mr A. Square is an average middle-class Flatlander until enlightenment allows him to see his world from a different dimension. He discovers that Flatland is threatened by forces it cannot possibly recognise. Will he be able to save his family and his world? Everyone attending the screening will receive a "goody bag" containing postcards signed by Flatland's director Ladd Ehlinger Jr, a copy of the novel donated by Transreal Fiction, vouchers from Filmhouse and Edinburgh International Science Festival, and other mathematical goodies from ICMS. A discussion led by Maximillian Ruffert of University of Edinburgh and Katie Russell of Heriot-Watt University will follow the film. You can read the Plus review of the original 1889 novel Flatland in the Plus article 'Flatland'. Pi is screened on 1 April and explores the life and experiences of Max, a gifted mathematician who believes that everything in the Universe can be expressed mathematically. He becomes obsessed with finding the underlying pattern behind the stock market, but religious and commercial groups try to exploit his research. Can he pass through this philosophical maelstrom and survive unscathed? Giorgos Papageorgiou and Tim Johnson of Heriot Watt University will discuss the film with the audience after the screening. The final film, Cube, is screened on April 3. Cube investigates the relationships between six apparently unconnected individuals who wake up inside a three-dimensional maze of interlocking cubes. Developing mutual trust is the key to survival as they are forced to collaborate on cracking the code behind the Cube's mechanism. How many will escape to discover the bigger mystery that lies outside their existentialist prison? Science fiction author and mathematician Hannu Rajaniemi will discuss questions arising from the mathematics in Cube with the audience. Tickets are available for individual films, or at a discounted rate for all three, from the box office at Filmhouse Cinema, 88 Lothian Road, Edinburgh, EH3 9BZ (phone: 0131 228 2688). Each screening will start at 5.45pm, and there will be discussion in the theatre after the screening, and then over coffee and drinks. Plus will be attending the screening of Pi, so please come and chat to us! You can read more on the Film3 — maths at the movies website. posted by westius @ 2:57 PM 0 Comments: |

Mathematical physicist wins 2008 Templeton PrizeThe 2008 Templeton Prize has been awarded to Polish mathematical physicist Michael Heller. Heller has worked for more than 40 years in theology, philosophy, mathematics and cosmology, and intends to use the £820,000 prize to set up a cross-university and inter-disciplinary institute to investigate questions in science, theology and philosophy. 16th century depiction of Genesis (Michelangelo, Sistine Chapel): God creates Adam. Like Galileo, Heller thinks that mathematics is the "language of
The Templeton Prize was founded in 1972 by philanthropist Sir John Templeton, and is awarded annually to a living person for "progress toward research or discoveries about spiritual realities". It is the world's largest annual monetary prize of any kind given to an individual (£820,000). Plus reported on John Barrow's success in 2006. Heller has been rewarded for "developing sharply focused and strikingly original concepts on the origin and cause of the Universe, often under intense (communist Poland) governmental repression." Heller's work these days is largely in non-commutative geometry, which he uses to attempt to remove the problem of a cosmological singularity at the origin of the Universe. "If on the fundamental level of physics there is no space and no time, as many physicists think," says Heller, "non-commutative geometry could be a suitable tool to deal with such a situation." You can read more on non-commutative geometry in the Plus article Quantum Geometry. posted by westius @ 2:00 PM 0 Comments: |

Physical demonstration of mathematical traffic modelRecently, Plus reported on work done by mathematicians from the Universities of Exeter, Bristol and Budapest into why traffic jams often occur for seemingly no reason. Now, for the first time, researchers from several Japanese universities have recreated this effect by placing 22 vehicles on a 230-metre single-lane circuit. The drivers drove at a steady 30 kilometres per hour, and whilst initially the traffic flowed smoothly, eventually a backwards travelling shock-wave developed which forced some cars to almost stop and others to increase their speed to 40 kilometres per hour to catch the car in front. Watch the video below, which comes from the New Scientist channel on you-tube. You can read more about this in the original New Scientist article. posted by westius @ 3:00 PM |

A new mathematical object was revealed to great acclaim at the American Institute of Mathematics last week. Ce Bian and Andrew Booker from the University of Bristol showed the first example of a third
degree transcendental L-function.
L-functions underpin much of twentieth century number theory. They feature in the proof of Fermat's last theorem, as well as playing a part in the recent classification of congruent numbers, a problem first posed one thousand years ago.

Livan Hernandez faces Javier Vazquez tonight at Nationals Park.
Davey Johnson suggested last night there might be lineup changes in store for today's game, and the Nationals manager was true to his word. No Jayson Werth. No Ian Desmond. No Roger Bernadina. No Wilson Ramos. All of them are getting a mental day off, as Johnson explained.
Davey also held a closed-door meeting with his troops before batting practice, letting them know his reasons for some of these changes today, and more importantly, how he intends to try to get more players involved moving forward.
"I basically had a set lineup going on [previously]," Johnson said. "I wanted everybody to know what I thought was the best chance we had to win, and the order they came up in. I also felt like you don't win pennants with 15 guys. You win pennants with 25. And I was going to be doing even more of that."
Livan Hernandez gets the start against former Expos teammate Javier Vazquez. Also, Jonny Gomes is here and in uniform and is available off the bench. Johnson said he'll start tomorrow's series finale.
Updates to come…

sjm, from the 'benchings' you mention in the last post, these guys aren't in the starting lineup because of their history against Vazquez. Jayson Werth (3-for-24, 2 BB, 9 K), Ian Desmond (0-for-4, K).Bernadina is in a 1-17 slump and needs a rest. Ramos is starting tomorrow.Time for Davey to mix it up.

I hope everyone (well, everyone without a season ticket) is going to try to take advantage of the Nats' deal for the game against the Braves next Monday: $1 tickets $1 hotdogs$1 peanuts$1 popcorn$1 parking How can you stay home with a offer like that? (I will be in Section 409.)You can buy the tickets at the box office (open from 10:00 am all week). You can also buy them online at the Web site below, but then they add in service charges, bringing the total for two tickets to $6. http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/MLBEventInfo?agency=WSHNB2B61&pid=6952227&tfl=Washington_Nationals-Tickets-Ticket_Specials-na-b1

Don't know if this is old news, but Harper went 3 for 4 today in Bowie with a HR, Senators took 2 of 3 from the BoSox. Oliver Perez got the win 5 2/3, 6 hits plus 5 walks, but managed to get out only giving up 1 run.

Sunderland, how did Ollie look? He looked really rocky in the Spring, noticeably so. Is he repairing himself?
- sunderland - Jul 27, 2011 at 10:26 PM
Remember a few things Davey said right after he started?I like having a set lineup. I'm gonna let the starters go deeper in games. We're not going to give away outs (sacrifice). Davey's seeing that reality does not conform to his wishes, and I guess we're seeing Davery conform to the reality he's working with.GYFNG
- sunderland - Jul 27, 2011 at 10:29 PM
JaneB, I didn't make the day game in Bowie today, just checked the box score. But 11 baserunners in 5+ innings – he couldn't have looked too good. And the Eastern League is hitting .280 against him in 9 starts. So I'd say he's still a work in progress.
- Gonat - Jul 27, 2011 at 10:43 PM
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2011/07/denard-span-high-on-nationals-list.htmlSteveM mentioned this was the target a few days ago as Span was first on the list followed by Bourn.After some of the comments about concussions and recovery it is very scarey to think of the risk. The Twins have been playing without him and adjusted well so Span becomes expendable and they have dealt with this on Morneau so they may be hedging their bets to get quality from the Nats.I think it is a worthwhile gamble if Span passes the correct head scan and expert doctor's opinion.Now personally I would go wtih Bourn if you could get a contract extension negotiated upfront otherwise a 1 year deal really doesn't do much unless it is a stop-gap to a stud Minor Leaguer and I think most agree that Bryce Harper will play corner outfield.Thoughts?

Pete said… What the hell. I paid for a two tickets to this game. CRAP.I almost never make game-to-game predictions. But I'll make one now:Pete, you're going to get a better game tonight than I got last night, no matter what the lineup is.As I write this, it's 0-0 in the first, which is already better than last night (when it was 1-0 after the top of the first)For all we know, we'll have the reverse lock going!

I don't mean to be contentious, but who goes to the park to see Ian Desmond? Bernadina, OK, there's the shark thing. And Werth getting a rest can't hurt, to be honest.

- Gonat - Jul 28, 2011 at 12:11 AM
I really dislike this ump. Livan didn't get any close calls and that is the problem with Livan. Nibble nibble and 2 walked before Stanton and then walks Stanton to load the bases. Livan is pitching scared tonight.
- CBinDC - Jul 28, 2011 at 12:19 AM

- SCNatsFan - Jul 28, 2011 at 12:21 AM
You think the team is making progress then you see a lineup like tonights and you realize we are still light years away from being relevant,And listening to Knight babble on as we get smoked again doesn't make it any easier.
- Anonymous8 - Jul 28, 2011 at 12:22 AM
CBinDC, tough to watch Livan pitching like that. After he struck Cameron out and he seemed to let up. That was a shame as he could have left that inning 1-0 with the pitcher leading off the next inning.Lets hope for some Nats offense!!!!

The Nats embody mediocrity. All year long. The only thing they excel at is talk. The entire Nats-MASN-NatsInsider talkplex keeps churning the hype. But the team is lousy. Snake-bit. When are we going to admit it–during the last game of the year?
- CBinDC - Jul 28, 2011 at 1:14 AM
Really I had hopes that this year they would not return to the dead last, dead play, dead energy Nats of the last 6 years but those hopes are gone, now I just cling to the slight chance that someone will at least perform well enough to give me a reason to hope for a better next year …..But do I really have to suffer with the likes of Debbie Taylor asking the questions …..is there not anybody else out there??

Am I missing something – why did they pull Detwiler? He pitches once every 5+ days. If he's of any use at all, it's as a long reliever. Why not let him pitch this inning at least, then pull him for a pitch hitter?This really is getting not just unlistenable but unwatchable.

HHover, right on. Detwiler pitched July 9 (2.0), July 15 (2.0) and July 23 (2.2). Why could he not have gone at least three innings tonight? Isn't that why Davey is only using him once every 5 days?GYFNG
- Anonymous8 - Jul 28, 2011 at 1:50 AM
Coffey just cannot work more than 2 batters and certainly not 2 innings. How long will it take Davey to know his bullpen? He didn't use the speed last inning to get Bernadina to 3rd in a possible double steal.Make something happen Davey!

- Gonat - Jul 28, 2011 at 1:59 AM
Here's what I am thinking. DFA Coffey on Friday or send HenRod back to Syracuse. Move Gorzo to long relief and Detwiler to 7th inning set-up or this "long set-up" that Davey seems to do in some games.Davey has to start to be accountable. Here the team got Ryan Zimmerman back and is playing the worst stretch of games this season.
- Anonymous - Jul 28, 2011 at 1:59 AM
Is it me or is Ray Night a little quiet tonight? I think he has quit caring. Other than Ry Zimm, Morse and Lannan you could get rid of every stinking guy on this team right now. They are awful. I think every game should be 1 dollar night. Thats all they are worth. Mariners 17 in a row. WE ARE NEXT.
- Gonat - Jul 28, 2011 at 2:00 AM
Syracuse completes a combined 1 hitter win. Balester was shakey in relief. Our old friend Nick Johnson was on the opposing side and he looked lost at the plate.Nice 1 hit/no run performance by Peacock.

- Natman - Jul 28, 2011 at 2:11 AM
@GoNat, you cannot send HRod to Syracuse, he has no options left. And DFA'ing Coffey is just dumb. The guy can pitch. The Rangers have a lukewarm interest in him. Rizzo thinks Detweiler is a starter, Davey just wants a good lefty, hence the disconnect. And you should have read all of this information here on NatsInsider many times in the past. Grrr, if you're going to complain or be an armchair GM at least know what you are talking about.

I just heard that there was a "Clubhouse Closed" sign on the clubhouse entry door and all the media were stalled.There will probably be the same sign tonight and some chairs being thrown. Ryan Zimmerman, Morse and Nix are hitting and not many else.When the Nats had chances with men on base (other than the 9th), they couldn't score a run with a man on base. Then the bullpen fell apart once again with Coffey giving up 1 and Storen an ugly 2.This team wins on good starting pitching, manufacturing runs, stealing bases, and a shut down bullpen.Davey? What say you?

Now you see what a bullpen going through the motions has cost this team again. That was an empassioned 9th inning that was soooo close.Nice to see. Maybe Davey won't be throwing chairs when he should be looking in the mirror.

Sooo close was fun. I'm glad Zimm was back being Zimm….

Loved the fight in the 9th inning…we *just* missed out on another great comeback.

Espi is officially in a slump now too. Glad Davey moved him way back in the order. Wish he did that with Werth earlier in the season.Espi's swing looks good which is encouraging, just needs some good luck. I want to see him lay down a bunt or 2.
- Mark'd - Jul 28, 2011 at 3:02 AM
No steals which has been a way for the Nats to make things happen as well as not pinch hitting for Livan in the 4th and Cora bunting were big in this. On Davey.

Was at the game tonight – spontaneous after work activity. This team looks flat- the manager makes numerous mis-judgements during the game. There are also many "huh" moments. Some of the guys staged a nice rally. There are no bunts to move runners – on base with no outs. There are no steals, there are no bunts for base hits. There is just nothing but a couple of guys swinging out of their shoes and lots of waiting around for a home run. The Marlins hit several.We stranded lots of runners and pitched weakly. A few of the guys did their jobs,got on base. Then — a big nada. You can see the difference in this team – there is just no energy – you can see it by the way they carry themselves that there is no spark or confidence. I have been watching on tv and following the west coast games – it was kind of shocking and sad to see in person. Go get 'em tomorrow guys! I would love to see them come out and take out their frustrations on the fish.

It's actually dangerous
November 14th, 2012
Justin Bieber's week is going from bad to worse. The Boyfriend singer was pulled over in his white Ferrari for making a dangerous left turn in West Hollywood last night and was then issued a ticket after police officers discovered his registration for the supercar had expired. This event comes on the tail of reports that Bieber's girlfriend of two years, Selena Gomez, broke up with the singer last week because she felt she couldn't trust him to be faithful. Maybe she couldn't trust him to yield to oncoming traffic.
Law enforcement sources confirmed to TMA that the 18-year-old popstar, who was driving with a friend at the time, was completely compliant with police and was issued a ticket for not having valid registration. Justin didn't appear to be too concerned about his minor brush with the law as he posted a picture of the police car on his Instagram site. Now the real question – filter or no filter?
Meanwhile, sources close to the star have dismissed reports he proposed to 20-year-old Selena twice prior to their high profile split. PerezHilton.com claimed that a source revealed "They have agreed to never, never, ever talk about the proposals! It would be far too damaging to his reputation if people found out that a smaller star turned down a bigger star." But rival website GossipCop.com later claimed the story was "completely false" and also said that Selena dumped Justin because he was "too needy".
Gomez is reportedly struggling to get over their break-up, but is happy to have the support of her family and friends. A source told EOnline.com "It's hard for her. It's really good she's with family and friends."

Alright, I have searched around a bit on this site and found two somewhat similar questions:
Computer Science Programming Certificate vs. Computer Science Degree?
Is it possible/likely to be paid fairly without a college degree?
But these do not provide an answer specifically to what I am seeking. I have my 2 year A.A.S. Degree in computer programming, along with a networking certificate from a technical college. I also have been working at a small educational game development company for 3 years now in various positions, but steadily moving up and now as a lead programmer on a few projects.
Some of the higher programmers I work with claim that no matter how much experience I develop it still will not mean as much as someone with a 4 year degree. Their argument is that most employers will look over my resume because of the common '4 yr' minimum requirement.
I have also heard people state (not as many though) that experience is everything and that an employer would rather have someone that has worked in the field instead of a rookie fresh out of college.
I have heard both sides of this argument, but am looking for a general consensus, or more arguments from both sides from the people who have been there, or are there.

Has anyone taken wah inductors apart to discover their anatomy?
Some are fairly obvious, but it's the potted/sealed types that interest me, such as the El-Rad or the black Dunlop, which are quite compact and I'm interested in how they achieve the inductance while keeping the resistance low in such a small package. I want to wind a batch and experiments so far have resulted in fairly low inductance/high resistance inductors that are no good. I want to stay away from the Halo/Whipple type if possible, as I can't find a UK supplier of the core sets at a reasonable price and prefer the look of the El-Rad.
It seems to be the bobbin type that's the problem and I wonder if anyone has managed to come up with a DIY inductor that is as compact as the ones mentioned?

Scripps Park Golf Course
Scripps Park Golf Course was originally built as a 9-hole course in 1923. The original 9 has many rolling fairways with bunkered greens and challenging water hazards. In 2002 the course expanded to 18 holes with the back 9 having the open feeling of a "links style" course. The wide fairways and creative hazards complement the demanding greens. All 18 holes are irrigated and provide consistent play from early spring to late fall. The course is long enough to be enjoyably challenging but easily accessible to walkers as well as cart players. You can purchase annual individual or family passes or pay by the round. Cart rental and a well stocked pro shop is available. The course can also accommodate groups and corporate outings.

Phoronix: MythTV Is Now Forked As Torc
The MythTV code-base has now been forked by one of its lead developers. The new MythTV, which is focusing upon modernizing this open-source video recorder / player so it can better compete with the competition, is called Torc...

I'm interested in seeing where this is going. I've been running MythTV for the last 7+ years on machines at home, and for the most part I've been happy (after the initial setup was done). If he can manage to improve upon the code base in new/exciting ways, I'll happily take a look at the resulting application as a possible alternative to MythTV.
I'm seeing this as an extremely positive move.
Cruft removal is not something best done by a comity.
If he keeps the communication channels open with the MythTV project, we could well see a migration from the old codebase to the newer, leaner one once .25 is out of the door.
I think this is good news. I've been running MythTV for 5+ years now, and frankly, it hasn't changed much.
That could mean two things: it was ahead of it's time then, or it is starting to become obsolete now. I think it is a bit of both.
It is good though, once it works, it works.
I will follow this development closely.
The backend is solid, but the frontend is naff. 0.25 sounds like a big improvement, with the new Xml API.
I'm hoping to see all sorts of new frontends, moovida plugins, android FEs, that sort of thing.
Unless they've fixed daft legacy stuff like having to mount a share for music (but not for video) in 0.25 then there is lots of scope for improvement in Torc.
Mostly I hope this won't dilute the focus of myth, and that they'll all play together.
Sounds promising. I haven't used myth for a few years but when I did development pace always felt like it was a crawl. I understand the need for stability, but moving forward and breaking + fixing things is sometimes needed to innovate. Hopefully a "development release" is just what is needed to boost the project.
Compared to XBMC MythTV is rather dated and this move by the lead developer sure paves the way for a better more modern MythTV as well as some competition between the two projects.
Oh no, not another fork of a Linux multimedia app. Plus, because the way MythTV handles database upgrades assumes a single branch of development, it seems unlikely there'll be any path to migrate between the two sides of this fork. Guess I should just hold off on upgrading it at all until one side or the other has obviously won

Academic Regulations & Procedures
Change of Section
A "change of section" does not require the adviser's signature, nor does it require a petition to the Academic Standing Committee (ASC). For this purpose a change of section shall be strictly interpreted to mean a change from one course to another having the same number and title, the same number of credits, and the same beginning and ending week. A drop/add card, with instructor' signatures from both sections, is to be filed with the Registrar's Office before the last day of the term.
